    Breakfast burrito with possibly the worst hashbrowns in the world.
    Ruben G.

    I just ordered a breakfast burrito from this place and correct me if I'm wrong but breakfast burritos usually come with hashbrowns. We came in my breakfast burrito look like what should have been hashbrowns, but ended up being very greasy mashed potatoes. I am a breakfast burrito type of guy and this is my friends was one of the worst.

    Corn beef hash and eggs
    Jessica G.

    This was my 2nd time here, ordered corn beef hash and eggs with hash browns so good, my daughter ordered the pancakes. It was a delicious meal, I did forget to take a photo of her pancakes though. They also do have a drive through which is nice. I ordered the food over the phone and picked it up. The parking lot is big so there is a lot of parking available. Inside is clean and lots of seats available to dine in as well. The lady at the register was really sweet too and got my order ready as soon as I walked in. I would recommend this place it's good for breakfast and lunch items. Thank you for wonderful service and delicious food! Have a beautiful day :) Aloha

    Almost gone French toast combo yummm
    Susan M.

    Love coming here. Good is always good the service is a true 10 and prices are really good. Very clean and like the booths. I got the French toast combo with a pineapple juice. They have some tasty flavors. I would come here everyday if it wasn't for me being across town .

    Club sandwich and zucchini, soo bomb!!!!

    Hamburgers are always fresh and not soggy like most burger spots, club sandwich is very good and the zucchini fries are delicious

    the interior of a restaurant

    Simple yet clean, everything is cooked to perfection. We are elderly so we split the country fried chicken. Didn't look like anything special but boy was it delicious! The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Could have been a little more substantial but as it turned out was the perfect size for the two of us! I would totally recommend this place and it should be famous for its unique style and cooking!

    Famous Burgers: Junior Cheeseburger and fries
    Lorri D.

    Nothing fancy, nothing bad... just a good ol' place to go get a burger and fries, or whatever your tastebuds are craving! There's a vast menu with so many options. One thing that stands out on the menu are the fried mushrooms; not greasy, just delicious warm shrooms in a crispy fried batter. A bit pricey at just about $5 for a side, but they are worth checking out, definitely enough to share with a buddy or two. Breakfast options are burritos, sandwiches, omelets, French toast, pancakes... plenty of sides and flavors. I've had the chorizo burrito (it's a big guy!) and you can choose to have that with hash browns and cheese or with rice and beans (maybe a combo of those things if you ask nicely). I liked the burrito, but wish the hash browns would have been a whole lot crispier, still good though. Omelet with sausage and hash browns is a nice big tummy warmer. Most breakfasts are between $5-10 so you may also want to check out the specials, more bang for your buck. Club Sandwich, Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich, Cheeseburger, Wet Burritos, Nachos, Greek options, Hot Dogs, Fried Chicken... the list goes on. So far, everything we've tried has fit the bill. Pricing on lunch and dinner menu ranges from $7-12. Parking is small, but so is the restaurant, we've never had a hard time finding a spot to park. There's a drive-thru as well, if you prefer. Service has been really friendly and nice, served at your table after you order at the counter. Fairly fast delivery from order to table. No refills on drinks without a charge (although there is also a sign now that says no refills due to Covid...). Kinda bummed they don't make fresh shakes here, that would be killer! Although the prices are a bit high for this type of place, there are a lot of options and just about something for everyone. Quality has always seemed pretty upstanding and you do get a nice portion size, so really can't complain. Seems reviews are hit or miss on Famous Burgers, but we've always had a nice experience. I guess just try it for yourself. Always check out the specials, nice deals! CHEERS!

    Typical independent food cafe. But one cook (tall skinny guy) can ruin anything. Eggs under cooked, chicken over cooked and dry.

Total of $11.92 great price! The cheeseburger was very fresh and tasty, just perfect for an affordable lunch! My dog's Pattie was pretty good size bigger than in n outs! Their charbroiled smoke coming out their kitchen is very appealing, makes you want to try all their menu! If you are in La brea make sure to stop here!

    EDIT: Bumping from 2 star to 3 star because I appreciate the owner for responding to my initial…read morereview in a prompt manner. I visited Brea's Best Burgers for the first time and although I enjoyed my burger, I am disappointed by a single worker who ruined my experience. Ordering was easy with the female cashier. I didn't have to wait long for my hamburger. Once I saw it come from the back kitchen, I walked to the front window to wait for the male staff member in the middle kitchen to put it in a paper bag. While I stood at the front window, I noticed a female worker preparing either chili cheese or sweet potato fries in the back kitchen...and her colleague likely male who was standing to her left grabbed fries from the dish she was arranging. I didn't see the colleague put the fries in his mouth because by then I had to pick up my burger and the window slot doesn't allow me to see their bodies above their shoulder but the worker definitely dug his fingers into the customer's fries while the female worker didn't stop him and she continued to drizzle white sauce onto the fries. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNHYGIENIC for a worker to take a piece from a customer's order to likely consume himself. To be fair, even though I didn't watch long enough to see him put fries in his mouth, the way he put his hands on the fries didn't look like he was putting back fries that may have fallen off the plate onto their plating area, he definitely was trying to pull fries deep in the pile to get one that was drenched in sauce. I hope the owner sees this and trains staff better. I've attached a receipt for the owner to review the footage. Receipt timestamp is an hour behind... Receipt says 5:08 but my visit was 6:08. Beaides that, burger was good and I liked the char of the patty.

For some reason the refinery spend their 40 minutes cooking the hell out of my burger, and they could even put the tooth pick in the middle of my burger, like is it that hard to stab my burger in the middle. I honestly don't know how The Refinery inside the Hilton in Brea manages to stay open. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. First off, the place looks nice when you walk in, but that's where the positives end. The service was painfully slow -- not the "busy restaurant" kind of slow, but the "did anyone remember we're here?" kind. We waited forever just to get water, and it somehow took even longer for the food. Then the food actually showed up... and wow. Bland, overpriced, and somehow still cold. It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since last week. For a restaurant attached to a Hilton, I expected at least basic quality, but this felt like cafeteria food with steakhouse prices. To make things worse, the staff acted like helping customers was a huge inconvenience. No check-ins, no refills, no effort. Just vibes of "please eat and leave." Between the slow service, disappointing food, and ridiculous prices, this place feels like a tourist trap hiding in a hotel lobby. Save your money and eat literally anywhere else in Brea. Even a gas station snack run would be a better experience.
