    I had this place in my bookmarks for so long (literally months). I finally decided to go try it on a weekday and although I absolutely loved the friendly, fast and courteous service, and think the ambiance was ok, the food itself was not something stellar. I got the XXL Fatbuger (a whole pound of goodness) and regular Fat Fries and although I do appreciate the massive portions, I don't think the flavor itself was extraordinary. The fries needed a bit of extra salt and the burger was good but did not have that much seasoning either (or maybe I'm just used to saltier burgers, like the ones from McDonald's). This place is right across from Pasadena City College, so definitely a convenient place for College students to grab a quick bite, or for workers in the area to go grab lunch, but not a place that I would choose to go out of my way for ever again.

    Wow! Today's meal was absolutely fantastic! The restaurant was spotless, and the service was excellent and friendly

    had a strawberry milkshake, will probably get a beer next time

    been ages since I had. meal at Fatburger... glad I came here instead of InNOut. Price point is bit higher than others, but not too bad given the quality and size of the meat on the burger. Love how they cook to order and the meat is fried up the way I like it, with a crust. The strawberry milkshake made with real ice cream containing real strawberry... a real treat. Customer service is also friendly and efficient.

    Well, everything I touched was sticky from the salt and pepper shakers to my tray that my food was on, to my table and to my chair. As I well as one of the workers proceeded to cut her finger nails with a nail clipper at the counter, which I could see and hear. The burger & fries were ok. This will be the last time I go here.

    I'm not a burger girl but I do like a Fatburger. I ordered over the phone to go. My order was ready upon my arrival within 10 minutes and fresh. Resturant dining area and bathroom were clean. If you have a rewards punch card from a different location they will not honor card. Medium fat cheeseburger 10/10 Fat fries with a side of seasoning salt 10/10 Lemonade 10/10

    Skinnyburger

    This was my first time ever having Fatburger and it was satisfying! I got the skinnyburger which is basically two patties that sandwich the fixings together. I thought this was delicious and flavorful. My bro got the XXXL which was insanely big and he loved every bite of it. Let's just say he barely ate anything the entire day so it was called for lol. We shared the onion rings which I thought were below average, and the skinny fries were average. For a treat I got the Craig's Vegan Strawberry Shake which was pretty tasty for it being vegan. In sum, I would come back for a large burger.

    Vanilla Milkshake and Chocolate Milkshake

    Been 2 years but I'm back. 2 Originals. Fat fries and 2 milkshakes. Quick service. Nice young lady. Clean cause it looks like we caught them at shift change. Same nice girl just got done mopping. Burgers yummy. Yup fat fries is the one. Shakes nice and thick. They need fatter straws. You need to let it sit and think of it as dessert. I'll be back.

    Located in a sort of mini mall of fast food, Fatburger shares its space with Chipotle, Kaiba sushi and a Starbucks. Hubby wanted a burger so Fatburger it was. Not crowded the Sunday after Thanksgiving so we put our orders in quickly and took a table. The place, while showing signs of wear was very clean. We split an order of sweet potato fries. Hubby got the basic burger (no pickles or mustard or cheese). I got a turkey burger no bun. The place also offers the impossible burger and chicken wings. The no bun burger turned out to be substantial. The two turkey patties were "the bun" and I got all the veges-lettuce, tomatoes, pickles etc. Tasty! Maybe a tad over salted but still good. Hubby enjoyed his too. The sweet potato fries were a tad overdone but I loved them that way. Nicely crunchy! Solid fast food. Good service. Easy parking in back.

He gets more salsa, no questions, no charge. Second guy gets his exact same order immediately after. He asks if he can have an extra salsa. He's told it's an extra $0.75. There was no pause, no gap in between the 2 men's interactions. Literally stood next to each other, ordered the same thing, one got free salsa, the other got charged. A table full of people nearby, tilt their heads and cock their eyebrows in disbelief. Free salsa guy happens to be White. Paid salsa guy is Asian. Coincidence? You can decide for yourself. We all know discrimination and prejudice exists. It's an unfortunate part of life. I'm no stranger to it. It's usually not quite this overt. This was a little too blatant to just sweep under the rug. Is having to spend an extra $0.75 a big deal? No. Is blatant discrimination? It's enough to stop supporting this business.

The burger was genuinely very good--not life-changing gourmet food, but exactly what a classic American burger should taste like. The best way I can describe it is like an elevated old-school burger. Similar spirit to In-N-Out in its simplicity, but juicer like if burlesque was a burger. You're going for the atmosphere, the history, and the feeling of stepping into a different era of California. Overall: * Food: 5/5 * Atmosphere/Nostalgia: 5/5 * Parking: 3.5/5 * Service: 5/5 * Value: 4/5 Not necessarily a mandatory stop for tourists unless you really love historic food institutions, but if you live in L.A., it's absolutely worth visiting at least once.

    I thought I already reviewed the best burger in Pasadena!…read more On my first visit, a standard burger was $3.95. I forget what it is now-- $6??? As good as this burger is, it's still a deal. Super Burger is owned by a super-nice Korean family. There are various Korean dishes in their menu available but I only go there for the burgers. What makes their simple burgers so great? First off the burger patty-- the patties are formed in-house. The cooked patties have that irregular edge that can only come from being hand-formed; imperfect and delicious. These aren't the frozen discs delivered by a freezer truck. The ratio of the ingredients are ideal. -- The tomato is sliced to the perfect thickness -- The freshly-shredded lettuce doesn't manspread and take up too much of the burger's real estate -- The thousand island dressing marries the freshness of the veggie section to the animal part perfectly -- The burger patty's girth is appropriately balanced for the other ingredients. -- Their buns have that old-school yeast(?) flavor not available in stores. Their burgers are lovingly prepared and assembled with care. This is why whenever I go, there are always people there. Seating is strictly patio style, looking out onto the intersection of Altadena and Villa. There lot is small lot next to the stand. I'm not sure if it's shared with another business. Street parking is available. Even though super burger is basically a corner burger stand with patio seating, the place is always clean. Super Burger is definitely a sure thing. It is the finest example of what a basic, standard burger can be. Bun, burger patty, lettuce, tomato, and dressing doesn't get better than this.

It was always a real treat. As a teenager I dated a couple of the girls that worked there so I was there on the regular in those days. In my 20's I lived right up the street and hit them up quite often. I don't get there as much as I'd like nowadays but when I do, it is always consistently great.

They are always stacked with lots of high quality cold cuts and delicious Provolone, crisp shredded Lettuce,thin sliced Onions and Vinegar and Oil on a delicious French Roll. In my teens and 20's I did try many samplings on their vast menu and as memory serves, everything was always delicious. Today's Grinder absolutely hit the spot!
