Stopped by for dinner at George's Burger Stand around 6pm on a Thursday night and they were not busy at all. Walked right up and got to my place my order. Within 5 minutes my meal was out so the service was very fast which was appreciated. Here you will only find outdooor patio seating. We sat there and tried their chili cheese hot dog and their cheese burger. The chili cheese dog was a bit disappointing. The chili cheese was great however the hot god itself was not good. It was a bit under cooked for my preference. Would have to give the hot dog a 2 out of 5. The cheeseburger on the other hand was good. No complaints on that and would have to rate the cheeseburger a 4 out of 5. The French fries here are so good, love the seasoning on them. Fries are a 5 out of 5. Overall maybe just stay clear of the hot dog but they are worth checking out if your in the area looking for a fast and cheap meal. Till next time. read more

After seeing George's Burger Stand on the Andrew, Steven, and Adam show on YouTube, I decided to give the place a try. First off, be aware of parking and traffic as the area is crammed. The restaurant itself is small and has plenty of seats. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. The lady who took my order didn't greet me and she was blunt with me, but it could have just been an off day for her. The man who made my order was nice, professional, and asked if I wanted any sauces. I ordered the George's Burger Combo with an Almond Milk Horchata. My partner ordered the Beyond Avocado Burger with Onion Rings and a Lemonade. The order did not take long, about a 10 minute wait. The burger itself was fresh and tasted real. From the buns to the veggies to the meat itself, it all tasted good. The burger was hearty and filling without leaving you feeling tired or gross. The only downside about the burger is that it could use more sauce, I had a hard time tasting it with each bite. The fries were good and were seasoned lightly; they had a nice crisp and soft interior. I never had Horchata with Almond Milk and to my surprise, it was great. Not too sweet and it was refreshing. Their sauces are made in house and I tried their ranch. Appearance wise, the ranch definitely stood out compared to typical fast food ranch. The ranch was thick, creamy, and paired nicely with the fries and onion rings. The onion rings were what I really wanted to try. The onion rings are made fresh and they use beer batter. They have a nice golden color and crunch when you bite into them. Unlike other onion rings, these ones snapped with each bite and the onion itself didn't drag out nor was it too soft. You can definitely taste the beer flavor and it paired nicely with the onion. My only complaint is that some areas of the onion ring had too much batter so at times it would just be a bit mush. The onion rings weren't overly greasy either. My partner who is vegetarian said it was the best vegetarian burger she has ever had. She loved the fries and onion rings as well. Overall, a great little food joint to go to every now and then. If you want something fresh with some variety, definitely check out George's Burger Stand. I also heard their Bean and Cheese Burrito is really good as well. I will be coming back sometime in the future. read more

Parking wasn't the most seamless, I had to drive north on Breed then make an immediate right like I was going to BOFA then found a spot east of Georges. I felt like a cheeseburger so went to Yelp & rushed the 2 miles here ! Cheeseburger was yummy, not a thin & charred patty, chopped iceberg vs shredded or leaves; perfect amount of sauce. Chili cheese fries were delish They also have vegan cheeseburgers ! Average price; big portions, professional & hospitable staff. I actually phoned in the order so don't know how long the order woulda taken if I hadn't. Will absolutely return & definitely recommend! read more

George's Burger Stand is one of the best small business burgers ever. It's been around since forever and it shows why. They have dine-in area where you can look on Cesar Chavez Ave while chowing down your food. Only downside about George's Burger Stand is the limited parking areas. Literally only a couple spots or the street curb. Food: I love their Chili Cheese Fries and Burgers. Both tasted great and I love how they add onions to add an extra kick to it. One of the best burger spots in Los Angeles! read more

What I Ordered: -Pastrami Burger $12.99 I've passed by George's Burger Stand on Cesar E Chavez Ave many times and saw the George's sign, which is so iconic. I've always been curious about the food. I always order food that's a part of a restaurant's name. Coming to George's, I knew I had to order a burger of some kind. I asked the gentleman behind the counter about what I should order and he immediately said without hesitation, the Pastrami Burger. I was instantly sold! I didn't arrive on an empty stomach as I ate some food at Guisado's beforehand. When in Rome! Speaking of Guisado's, I read online that the same family that owns Guisado's also owns George's Burger Stand. I knew going in that it (George's) would be good, but I didn't know how good it would really be. I love burgers and pastrami! For me, that's a winning combination! The burger was so delicious and cooked to perfection. The pastrami was good pastrami as well. I really didn't expect the pastrami from a burger joint to have such good pastrami. Since, I ate previously I skipped the fries and other dishes. I will definitely be back soon to get another Pastrami Burger and try some of those made to order and beer battered Onion Rings. read more

I found George's Burger Stand after accidentally finding it on the YouTube channel from the former Worth It guys Andrew, Steven, and Adam. (They have since launched a new channel after the Buzzfeed series.) At any rate I was dying for something different and the onion rings at George's Burger Stand looked SO GOOD that I had to run out and try it for myself. Upon arriving, I quickly decided that I wanted a Western Burger (bacon, 1 onion ring and BBQ sauce), a small order of onion rings and a Sprite. The food took a little bit of time, but that's ok because you know it's freshly made. There's a nice covered patio where you can eat your food, and if you are a solo PLEASE do yourself a favor and get the small order of onion rings. Any larger and you won't be able to finish it. The burger is pretty delicious and not drowning in sauce, which I like. I had to ask for a side of ranch, since ranch and onion rings go so well together. The onion rings are DELICIOUS and so different from the breaded kind you get from the frozen food section of the grocery store. These are made out of a beer batter, and CRISP. The coating doesn't fall apart like all of the other onion rings you have tried. It's crisp and you can bite it, like an apple. My meal was $24, but definitely try this place you haven't!! read more

I recently moved to the area and was on the hunt for a classic, old-school burger joint -- and I finally found it in George's. The family and I absolutely love this spot, and the best part is it won't break the bank. Everything I've tried here has been a hit, and you really can't beat their burger combo for just $9.99. There's convenient parking in the back, or if you're lucky, you can grab a spot out front on the street. If you're in the area and craving a solid, no-frills burger, definitely give George's a try. It's quickly become one of our go-to spots. read more

One of my personal favorites. This is like a cross between Tams and In N Out. The meat is perfectly seasoned and grilled. The cheese is thick and melty and not too many condiments. The fries are also perfection fried to a golden brown. It's one of the old school California burgers I've joints that has its own flavor. Service is great and there's a few benches to eat. It's pricier than other spots but it's definitely worth the experience. read more

George's Burger Stand - Georges Burger French Fries - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yelp led us to George's for a late lunch yesterday. What a fantastic adventure! Walk up window service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was spotlessly clean inside and had the cutest outside seating area. We had pastrami burgers, George's burger, fries, onion rings, Cherry Coke, and a chocolate shake. Food was quickly made to order. The plentiful pastrami's peppery seasoning was the righteous flavor punch we were craving. George's cheeseburger is a classic, 1950's style cheeseburger with fresh, flavorful veggies. Fries were crispy, tender and came with a zingy fry sauce and spicy ketchup. Don't sleep on the pillowy onion rings and their Ranch-meets-Tzatziki sauce. The hand made chocolate shake with mounds of whip cream was of an ice cream shop quality. As mentioned in other reviews, George's cherry Coke isn't the syrupy mass produce variety. Instead, George's cherry Coke is a subtle creation that dances with the cherry flavor. read more

Found this spot and decided to give it a try. Came around lunchtime during the week it wasn't too busy. Young man taking orders was nice. There was one cook from what I could see. Parking here isn't the best and kind of a struggle. I had to park in the area that said bank parking only lol I only ordered a pastrami and a side of ranch. Ranch was for some zucchini I got from a different spot. The pastrami was not my favorite, although it had flavor the meat was really thick. Not like a typical pastrami. I have had really bomb pastrami and I would say this one was good. The ranch was also a disappointment for me and I really love ranch and know GOOD ranch when I have it. This ranch tasted more of like a thick dill yogurt if that makes sense. Some people may like that strong dill flavor but the texture and taste wasn't for me. However I'm not sure I will be back. There is outside seating and lots of stickers on the windows. read more

There's so much potential for success, with any business running in a community since 1963. But it seems the owners have taken their eye off the ball. A 60s-diner appropriate Spotify playlist is playing on the patio speaker. But this is absolutely drowned out by rock and hip-hop music being blasted from the kitchen door, open at the back of the patio, under the speaker. The cacaphony is actually disturbing, making it hard to enjoy the meal. We saw no effort to keep the patio tidy. Yes this is an open patio on Cesar Chavez Ave, but all the trash was from customers, not from the street. The menu item Chili Fritos is clever, served inside a foil Fritos bag, but it contained no chili! Only the grease or "sauce" from the chili, which was nice and spicy. Would have liked to sample their actual chili. The iconic sign cannot be seen from most angles, due to the massive ficus tree growing around it. Trim the tree! This is allowed, for trees on the public sidewalk in front of your property. Best of luck, hope your business lasts another 60 years. read more

Hubby was craving for burgers and he said that Yelp suggested this as one of the burger places he should check out. Photos and reviews show that they're highly rated; so of course, we had to come and check it out. If in & out and Tommy's got together, George's would be their love child. Per my son, they're masters of burgers and chili cheese. My son ordered their chili cheeseburger and we got an XL chili cheese fries. The kids LOVED it! I got a cheeseburger with over easy eggs on top. WINNING!!! Overall, great burger and fries! This place would be great for late night munchies unfortunately they're only open til 9pm. Regardless, we would definitely come again!! read more

Out of all the mom and pops burger stands. This has to be one of the bests. Better tasting beef burgers and hand craft quality. Not another run of the mill frozen patty establishment. Not to mention the excellent customer service I received . It also have that old school hamburger stand vibe like back in the day. The only thing I don't like was the surrounding areas. The limited or no parking. I would recommend phoning ahead and just picking up. I parked at the bank cause that's all I could find. But I was t there for long. I decide to take my food to go instead of eating there. I also got some tater tots and onion rings. Both really good. Definitely one of my top 10 burgers now. Sorry no food pics I got home and snuffed that burger like I haven't eaten in days. read more

We needed a good greasy meal and found this burger joint. The service was great! We ordered 2 combos and it was close to $40. The cheeseburgers were well seasoned. I was missing thr juice from the burger as the bun and the burger were a little dry but still very good! The fries were well done, crispy and crunchy on the outside and potatoey on the inside. The onion rings were beer battered and a bit oily but you could tell they were hand battered and made to order. Delish! The chocolate shake hit the spot and made me feel like a kid again. We didn't eat here but took our food to go. read more

The food is amazing, good seasoning. A girl who works there has good service and is very nice to costumers. I recommend this place so much.

George's is a Boyle Heights Staple. Been coming here since i was a kid. Food quality isn't what it used to be. Owners sold the restaurant and i don't think the food quality is where it used to be. Burger, chile dog, chile cheese fries were my go 2's but after my last visit a couple months ago idk if i'll be back soon..... service is okay, and its outdoor seating so it can be noisy. As clean as it can be, staff tries to wipe down tables constantly. read more

Went to this place with some of my Coworkers yesterday for lunch! The spot is a bit small but it's still very original and cozy. There's also a lot of open space and tables outside of the diner as well! The people who took our order was incredibly kind and patient as well! Amazing work! We though that the windows full of stickers was awesome and the fact that they're currently doing a special on the LA Dodgers. They're doing a blue milkshake and garlic fries as a special. I wanted to get chili fries but completely forgot and got the chili cheese burger combo instead-- still delicious. The cherry sodas are all bomb as well!! read more

As I was driving in the LA area, I was in a mood for the best pastrami burger in the area and found George's Burger Stand was the top rated located in LA using Yelp. IDK where to start; it was more like a bait and switch from Yelpers photos of the foods here at George's Burger Stand looks bigger in photos than actual. The food itself, to me, was small, and the quality and quantity don't match the price point. I dislike giving establishments 1 or 2 stars, but it gives them room for improvement and growth if they're willing to listen to honest Yelpers. Guess how much my lunch was today? For this much, I could have eaten at a respectable buffet or Angelos burgers in GG for a cheaper price, where quality and quantity match the price. 4/5 Good The food is made to order, not like in other food places, where some use microwaves to reheat things. The young man taking my order was patient and did not rush me like other local places I've been to. The lemonade was on point, but I'm not sure if there are free refills or not. 2/5 Bad Lunch came out to be around $41 without adding a few dollars for a tip yet. George burger with pastrami, bacon, avocado, and cheese combo with a drink and fries. The patty was kind of hard and overcooked, and very little pastrami was added. The burger itself was smaller than other burger joints I've been to. The fries were hard and oily. The onion rings were oily, and some were burned; they didn't have the panko breading and taste that I was hoping for, and it was quite expensive for a few of them. Carne asada burrito for this much; the portions did not match the price point; it was the size of a Del Taco burrito, and it was kind of salty. There are no public restrooms, no dining, and only a few tables outside on the busy and loud streets of LA. While I was driving and saw the photos of George Burger Stand, I was excited about what they had to offer, but overall, I was not satisfied, still left hungry. I wish nothing but the best for George Burger Stand, and it shows they're doing something right for some people. If you're in the LA area, stop by George Burger Stand, give them a chance, and you'll decide if it's yay or nay. Happy Yelping! read more

This is a damn good spot. Got the George's burger and fries. Every element of the burger was super fresh-tasting, crisp veggies, lots of pickles. Only complaint is I didn't really get much of the 1000 island, so hopefully they up the spread. Fries were fresh-cut and had that heavenly potato flavor. Friendly staff too.

It didn't taste like a frozen patty. almost tasted home made. and the fries were plenty and good. I'd definitely go back.

OK, I was in search for a good hamburger. I came to Yelp and just typed in burners. This place was one of the places that came up after reading the reviews. I decided to go on YouTube to see if there was any reviews on this place. there was quite a few the couple that I actually tolerated to watch to the end Sounded like this was a legit place so I thought I'll give it a try after coming. I ordered a hamburger and Fritos with chili on it, and I have to be very honest. It was one of the best tasting burgers I ever tasted and the Fritos were on point I would definitely come back maybe to try the chili fries and couple other menu items. I definitely would recommend this place . The only thing that was a challenge was parking but other than that definitely try this place out. read more

Considering the price I rounded up to a 4 Are there better burger spots? (Maybe check out my HiHo Cheeseburger Review) But can you top an old school thousand island all over your face spot, NO! The burger was cooked nicely with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and pickles The fries (frozen btw) were decent , not knock your socks off fries but decent But the service was top notch, fast and with that "we'll see you again" attitude Definitely a local spot that does things well and is an asset to the community read more

Super unimpressed with George's. I've been looking forward to trying it for a few months now, but I was really disappointed in the food. Bf and I shared the chili cheese burger and onion rings - I've never been so happy to have shared something instead of ordering my own food. 1. Chili cheeseburger - Solid 3/5, the chili was great, but there was not enough on this burger. It felt like the burger as a whole was really lacking in flavor. The saving grace was the yellow peppers on the side. I really like Dino's chili cheeseburger much better and my bf prefers Patras. 2. Onion rings - SO SO SO oily!!! Mind you, I absolutely know that fried foods are oily, but damn all the oil just soaked into the batter. I am not a fan of food waste, I will finish almost anything. However, I ended up tossing 75% of the onion rings. No amount of ranch or ketchup could've saved them. Also, the ranch was super thick and just tasted like sour cream. Maybe I will give the breakfast burritos a shot, but the burgers + onion rings are a no from me. read more

Good burgers good fries. Parking can be hard to find. Price is good ,size is good . Service is quick

We headed to Los Angeles for an eating adventure. Recently, we watched Hulu's series Eater Around the World. They featured George's Burger in the Boyle Height part of LA. It is a traditional old fashion burger stand out of the 60's. They feature only burgers, pastrami sandwiches, fries, onion ring and shakes. They are not trying to be something they are not. There was a young man behind the counter and appeared to be doing everything. He took the order, came out washed the tables and cleaned the counter. There was a "huffer" that came in and started yelling at the patrons / staff. He was kind to her and offered her a spoon even though she had not ordered any food. He seems to be a hard working young man with a good work ethic. We ordered their famous pastrami sandwich and a large order of onion rings. The pastrami was a bit grisly but balanced with a flavorable pickle. The onion ring was a different story. The onion was submerged in an over breaded batter that had no flavor. I felt like I was eating bland fried batter. Unfortunately, I will not be returning and was disappointed with the meal. I love a good old fashion haunt but they need to step it up. read more

East Los Angeles burger stand serving all the goodies since the 70's. We came for the burgers and weren't disappointed. Well seasoned patty's that are cooked to perfection with fresh pastrami. So delicious. Also loved their vanilla shakes. They only offer vanilla and chocolate. Was craving strawberry but was happy with the vanilla shake. The spicy ketchup was different. I recommend sharing chili cheese fries. More than enough for two people. The wait time varies but worth it. Cash only even though no sign anywhere indicating it. Luckily ATM right next door. We will definitely come back. read more
