George's Burgers has slid downhill. The new place has ruined the awesome memories of the original location. The wait times are outrageous, the service is lousy and the food is hideous. I won't ever go back. read more

This restaurant is a great value. We had the gyros and chicken salads today and they were delicious. The food came out quickly and correctly. Staff were courteous. We sat on the patio, which was nice. Overall, our experience was great. read more

See all

I used to live this place. Still a fair value, but you can tell that they don't put any money back into the dining area or the building itself. I'm a strong believer that if the customer area that the public can actually see is neglected, one could just imagine what the kitchen looks like. read more

Super disappointed. I used to eat here quite often. Not anymore, that's for sure. 1. Drive thru took 20 minutes, YES 20 minutes. 2. $20+ for a chicken club, fries and soda. WAY too expensive. 3. She forgot my ranch ( but charged me for it) 4. The fries were mushy and cold 5. The bread was so old and dry, that when I bit in to it, it just crumbled apart..and was nasty! 6. The flimsy chicken breast was dry and gross. I hate to leave a bad review, but in all honesty, this was just BAD. I used to come here all the time. Not anymore read more

George's Burger Gyros sandwiches are --huge portions, loaded with meat, and super satisfying. Great value if you're looking for something filling and high in protein. read more

I live right next to this place. Even though it's within walking distance I'd rather drive somewhere else because it has given me and my Roomates food poisoning multiple times. read more

Well I was always a George burgers fan and today I noticed all the prices went up. My Burger was just as good as 4 or 5 years ago when I paid $6 and now almost $11 bucks for a double cheeseburger and I almost fell for a fries and Coke for an extra $7. that's pretty close to $20. yikes !!! I did notice all the prices went up and they took the pastrami sandwich off the menu which I was told hardly anybody ordered anymore but at $16 bucks I could see why ...and my last experience with the pastrami sandwich was poor as I left a picture and a review. Businesses that raise prices....I understand you have to survive but my frequency of visits now will go down by 2 or 3 visits a month which puts you right back in the same boat financially .. now the prices are high enough for me to just stay home and make my own food. read more

Food was honestly pretty good, Can't complain! But they need better staff, young girl at the register had a very unpleasant attitude and Bearly even acknowledged us . Which made the overall experience not so great. Do better . read more

I went through the drive-through. Ordered a cheeseburger and fried zucchini. Service through the drive-through was great and the food was on point. read more

So good. The George Burger is THE BEST burger I've ever had. I drove all the way from Riverside to try this burger. No complaints here. Now everyone knows me. I'll be back soon. read more

George Burgers used to be a very good place now the portions are smaller and prices are just crazy Add seven dollars to make it a combo so a drink and some fries is worth seven dollars? That's crazy. read more

Ordered the chili cheese fries and there was really no chilli but some ground beef , was kinda of greasy , cowboy burger was small , place was very clean and order came relatively quick overall I'd say it's something if your in a hurry , but not a great burger read more

Perhaps I'm getting soft. I would like to think not. I would like to continue to base my reviews on the customer experience. Today, George put it all together for our drive through, "we haven't been to George's in a long time" experience. About as long as this location first opened . . . a long time ago. A well wrapped for the road Mushroom and Swiss burger with good fries and great, although I'm not a fan of the batter/mix/texture of the onion rings. WOW! A full larger whole onion serving and obviously fresh made. I thought them to be delicious except the batter . . . that's all. Otherwise everything was a long awaited surprise. Surprise, "this stuff is good" (Chef, 2014). Just another reason to support local. Dicks read more

Never Trying Again!! (UNDERCOOKED PATTY) Ordered a Bacon Cheese Burger to go. Given the restaurant's pricing on the food, its quality of the food is really poor. The beef patty is a basic frozen patty from a grocery store. I can understand if my food is chilly once i got home since it is a to go order but the patty was still cold. I strongly advise others not to eat there! read more

Pretty good! Great prices and exactly what I was looking for. Nice people at the front and clean overall. Will be back

I ordered the chicken wrap, expecting it to be chicken. Instead, it should have been called a lettuce wrap as it was 90% lettuce with a few tiny pieces of chicken. This wrap maybe included one strip of bacon. There was no cheese at all. At least the zucchini was fabulous as always, making it worth it read more

Might be the worse burger I ever had. Try some seasoning on the patties and some special sauce on the buns, people like flavor it turns out. The place was clean the service was good but the food was just awful, also the fountain drink had a weird aftertaste. read more

I use to come to this place not often but when we did we used to love their chicken and kids meals.. the service is not that good to be honest now it take them for ever to make your order supposedly bcuz of shortage staff and when ask for a dressing they charge you 50c extra not even a sorry for the wait is like the young adults working there are not happy with their job . No wonder now the place is empty. read more

Came here because I was super hungry and this is the only place that was in my view when I was driving to go see Palomar Community College I had a cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger was average. The fries were pretty good. It has a drive through which was nice. It did take longer than a chain fast food, but it was ok. Because you can tell the food, particularly the fries. read more

Don't order the pastrami. I had a taste for pastrami, and the guy in the kitchen says I'll make it with pieces that are easy to chew. When I got home, it was tiny kernels of burned meat that should have been thrown away, smothered in about a cup of yellow mustard. I not goin back to any George Burgers. read more

Super friendly staff, always sweet and welcoming. The food is delicious, with great portions. Service is fast, fast, fast, too. Love the ambience as well. read more

Don't go by old photos and reviews for George burgers, it's not like that anymore. Sad to say the quality and value is absolutely gone now. I grew up eating here but that's over now. It's all about cutting corners and getting talked down to if you ask about it, the employees are definitely on the defense. Move on, it's just a good memory now. read more

George's burger always has had a special place in my heart. Been a fan of their thick cut French fried since pre-school. When I lived out of town, I always had to make a stop at George's burgers for their quarter pounder meal. I love their hamburgers because of shredded lettuce and thousand island sauce. Today , I'm trying to be a more disciplined version of myself and after 25+ years of ordering the same thing, I decided to order a Greek salad with grilled chicken and was not disappointed! Fresh ingredients, great customer service at reasonable prices. read more

I have been a frequent customer throughout the years. Food was good and the staff was decent except for one person in specific. The girl with a short hair needs an attitude adjustment. She was condescending and unpleasant, which sucks because she's the face of the restaurant... She's cashier. read more

I don't know why its so hard to follow directions. I say very clearly what I want and don't want on my burger, and get just about the opposite of what I ordered. Im home now, too late to drive back and get it done correctly, $20 wasted. Never going back to this restaurant. read more

i love eating at this place. but i won't be coming back because of the rude cashier that has glasses and he sounds zesty. 0 customer service and was rude at every chance. Never had these issues before until my last 2 visits read more

The food is below average & the customer service is terrible.. the slowest service I've seen in quite some time.. save yourself the annoyance & avoid this place. It's borderline embarrassing. read more

amazing place Anthony L. doesn't know what he is talking about. the service and food was amazing and the guy with the glasses was so nice

I am not a fan of George Burgers. I seem to remember coming here back in the day and having some decent chili cheeseburgers. But, those days seem to be long gone. Only been a here a few times since joining the neighborhood, but each visit was met with subpar food, high prices for a dive restaurant, and an overall bad impression of the place as a whole. When I was a kid, going to Angelo's on the lagoon in Oceanside was a staple dinner at least once or twice a month. I'd get bacon cheeseburgers, gyros, bags of onions rings, and garnered a massive love/respect relationship with these kind of greasy joints. Ever since, I've gone out of my way for anywhere with the kind of menu I've come to expect from these Angelo's clones. With plenty of selections on the burger section, pastrami options, and those gyros to choose from, George Burgers does have that potential ... yet it struggles to live up to it and falls so short. We've had quite a few of their burgers, the fries, the onion rings, that gyro, vanilla shakes, the zucchini strips, chicken fingers, and pretty much a good half of the menu across six people. And everything ranges from "it's okay, I guess" to "m'eh". Of everything we had, only the Zucchini really stands out and that's mainly because not many other places serve it like they do. All other dishes typically just make us wish we had driven a bit further to Money Pit instead. Still, being the closest of the dive diner options to us, it is convenient, if not all that appetizing. One day I may revisit the chili of old, hope it lives up to the memories of my youth. But, even then, I'm not expecting it to match up or even come close to what we can find elsewhere. Until then, I only have a 2-Star view of George and his burgers... read more

This is my favorite place to get a cheeseburger. Their double cheeseburger is my favorite! I usually order it with an order of fries, but their onion rings are fantastic as well! read more

This place is trash, and so is the customer service dnt eat here way overpriced my food was disgusting

I've eyed this place for awhile and since they were on Groupon with a cashback deal tried them. They are very expensive. I recommend going to Money Pit or a real restaurant. I paid 9.97 for a gyro plate. I got that since it came with onion rings. I asked if it came with pita they said yes. I opened the box and found a bunch of gyro meat thrown on top of onion rings. Unlike a Greek place it came with no salad. The presentation was unacceptable throwing all the food together like that. I just got a refund and left. Won't be returning. read more

My parents loved going to George Burgers as a teenager I enjoyed them and now with my newest family the third generation started. Ee love the burgers and customer service experience was helpful when there was a mixup with fries and onions rings they quickly remedied the problem by giving us the correct frings read more

Went through their drive through, got their Gyro sandwich; it made me really sick immediately after and for the rest of the night. Will not eat here again. read more

George Burgers!!!! I always crave GB when I want a yummy burger with bomb fries, onion rings and fried zucchini with the perfect ranch pairing. I came in the other day and although they're definitely slacking on bathroom cleanliness and the soda was flat...I opted for iced tea instead even though my burger splurge is normally paired with soda. If the cleanliness was a priority then 5 stars but until then 4. read more

One of best burgers we've ever had. My granddaughter says fries are the best. Love the onion rings, too! Staff are very friendly! Just wish there was one closer! read more

We were out and about running errands today and stopped by George Burgers for lunch (before anyone got hangry..lol). My wife got a mushroom burger and added avocado and loved it. She also got some of their famous onion rings which we shared and they were the same as always....so tasty and delicious! I had a double cheeseburger and it was huge, hot, juicy and required many napkins to clean up my fingers and face. We also split some fries which were also very good, not thin shoestrings but the thicker ones that I like very much. In the past we've used the drive-through and ate on the road. This time we went into the dining area which was bright and inviting and had a beach SoCal theme. Order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. The counter staff and the person who delivered the food were very nice and were able to answer any questions we had. Been coming here for several years and will continue to come back to this excellent burger joint! read more

4 out of 4 of our last orders from them were messed up somehow. On two, they put cheese on items where we explicitly said 'no cheese due to an allergy'. On another two, they forgot a couple of items completely. The latest order (tonight), they gave us expired milk with my son's meal. The food is tastes great and the prices are decent. But they've repeatedly messed up the order to the point where its potentially dangerous to the consumer. I'd avoid them if possible and find another burger joint like the Habit, In n Out, Farmer Bros, McDonald's, Burger King, Denny's.... read more
