I have been coming to George's Burgers located at 3101 Lincoln Boulevard in Santa Monica for at least 30 years and not much has changed regarding the exterior or interior, but the true constant is the quality of food, especially the burger. Tonight I had the Hamburger Special that includes Fries ($17.49) and a Hot Dog ($4.89) and a drink that comes with the burger special. The kitchen is open and you see a fairly clean operation despite the volume of business they do and this is strictly a regulars stop for good, quick and fresh items that include breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings off a very extensive menu where refills are free! They have an ample parking lot and are just north across the street from WHOLE FOODS. The restrooms remain sketchy, but the food is reasonable in price and healthy in portions. I'll match their burger and fries with any chain establishment in the area and there ability to retain employees is impressive as it seems no one retires or leaves! Love the greasy spoon decor and fast service? Come nibble at George's on Lincoln in Santa Monica, you can't go wrong! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

After stopping by the Marine Park Community Garden to visit a friend, I was hungry and needed to find something to eat. This little spot was nearby, so I decided to give it a try. Parking was easy since they have their own parking lot. Inside, the place reminded me of Lucky's in Pasadena. It seemed clean and well-maintained. They serve burgers, all-day breakfast, and Mexican food. I ordered the Denver omelet after seeing a customer was eating it, and it looked pretty good. It didn't take long for my food to arrive. The portion was generous, and the omelet was packed with green peppers and ham, which made it quite filling. The taste was decent, and it was a satisfying meal for the price. If I'm ever in the area again, I wouldn't mind stopping by for another meal. read more

!STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! I just finished having a stomach virus from the pastrami sandwich I had at this place.... This was the only meal within 24 hours of getting sick witch starter 4 hours after eating at this place and from looking at other reviews it's a common issue read more

Down home people, down home honest cooking, prices that makes sense! Burger joint with a decently good breakfast. Second time here for breakfast, first time had the ham, eggs and hash browns, ample portion of ham and eggs properly cooked over easy eggs. Today was huevos rancheros, everything properly cooked and nice spice level. Ordering at the counter and appreciate they don't flip a pad around and expect a 20% tip for taking your order read more

I ordered a cheese omelet with avocado on the side. Well, I didn't know that *cold* (!) American cheese squares would be plopped on the top of it and it was gross. The avocado wasn't fully ripe either. Really kind of a bummer. I don't see myself going back. I know they have been here many years and you would think this is an easy item but it really turned me off. The service at the register was friendly and the restaurant was clean. One thing they have going for them, which is hard in Santa Monica, is that they have their own parking lot. I wish it had been good because I was looking for a new local breakfast place I could frequent but I just don't see it happening. read more

George's Burgers - Front entrance - Burgers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

My husband and I come here once every 2 months or so. He grew up in the area so I think he just has nostalgia attached to this place. It gives local dinner vibes. The customer service is also great. I feel like some dishes are better than others though. I have tried their burger and their burritos and I think both are pretty solid. The egg sandwich was good but honestly didn't taste like anything fantastic or crazy. I don't think I would order it again. I would forsure get their burrito or burger though. I usually order the cali burrito and my husband orders the asada one. We cut it in half and split it. Anyway, if you're in the area I think its worth a try. Parking is decent. I believe there is a car wash of sorts next door. read more

Decent food at an affordable price! My husband and I have tried their club sandwich, their cheeseburgers, their breakfast burritos, their fries, onion rings, and fried zucchini. The food is reminiscent of Jim's, Lucky Boys... just old fashioned food that's decently priced. The burgers are good but a little dry for my taste. I ask for extra thousand island when I get the burgers to compensate. The fries and onion rings are super good, but the fried zucchini is kind of mid. They're not crispy and lack flavor. The breakfast burritos on the other hand are so so good! I ask for extra pico de gallo when I get this. I ordered the one with bacon, has brown, eggs, and cheese, but they forgot the bacon. The burrito was so so good, I didn't even realize it didn't have bacon until I was almost done with it. I highly recommend getting a breakfast burrito--they're huge and tasty and not expensive. The only thing I really hate about George's is that they don't have orange bang, which a lot of old school places to eat like this usually have. I really love though that the cooks and staff are always playing Hispanic music and they are always in a good mood. I highly recommend if you're looking for an affordable, old fashioned meal. read more

George's had been on my Westside burger hit list, and I finally checked it off last night. I had the cheeseburger and onion rings--classic, tasty, and satisfying. Total came to $14.71, which felt fair for the quality. Service was solid and fast, with friendly staff and quick turnaround on the food. Ambience is classic burger joint casual--nothing fancy, but it works. That said, the place could use a bit of a cleanup, especially the floors and tables. Overall, a solid neighborhood spot for a no-frills, good burger experience. If I had to choose between George's in Santa Monica and Troy's Burgers in Highland Park. I'd go back to Troy's. read more

I've eaten at George's many times over the years and while nothing out of the ordinary, it serves a purpose in a neighborhood that has leaned heavily into gentrification over recent years. You're not going here for the decor, that's for sure. The restaurant is bare bones and probably needed a facelift 5 years ago, but there is a charm to the simplicity as well. The menu is relatively expansive featuring popular breakfast items, mexican food, burgers and sandwiches. There are a few "dinner entrees" like a fried shrimp platter as well. Nothing stands out as particularly exceptional here, but everything I've had has been good enough. It's reasonably priced for the area and you don't have to wait long for your food. The service is always friendly. You get old school diner energy mixed with something that still feels uniquely LA. I wish more of these types of places still existed around the city. Stop by the nostalgia, the prices and the convenience. Don't expect mind-blowing food, but it's all serviceable and great when in search of a no frills meal. read more

After a decade, this place still has it. I've only ever had the breakfast burritos, and that's all I need. You walk in, and the place is clean and busy. Most of the booths are occupied. The cooks are working like a well-oiled machine. The lady that takes your order couldn't be nicer. Great attitude helpful with any questions. I wash my car next door and will stop by for that giant breakfast burrito more often than not. Good stuff! read more

Burger was ok. The bun was dry but the meat had good flavor. I was dining with someone who ordered the carne asada burrito. I tasted said burrito and was envious of their choice. The salsa was also wonderful. If I return, I will be getting that burrito. read more

Open since 1995 I have lived near this place for many years and I've driven by it countless times but for some reason I've never tried it. Given that George is also my dog's name I figured it was time that I tried it and I am so glad that I did. It's a traditional to go burger spot, but they also have breakfast and other types of sandwiches and classic comfort food. They have a large free parking lot attached so parking is easy, the menu is gigantic with fair prices, and service was super fast and friendly. Everything that we ordered was ready about 10 minutes after we placed the order, even though it was quite busy inside on a Saturday night @ 7PM. Most people get it to go, but they do have tables indoor and out. For my first visit I wanted to try some of their higher rated items so I ordered a Double Avocado Cheeseburger and a Steak Sandwich. Both were fantastic, but the Steak Sandwich was especially good. The steak did not have fat at all, was perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly as I ordered it. The fries were also a really great side dish and I was just overall very impressed with the meal. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick and casual comfort food meal, and I plan to be back in the future to try more items. read more

George's Burgers - Huevos Rancheros & Veggie Omelette - Burgers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Rude obese hispanic young lady at the counter charged me $6.50 extra to go from a single bacon cheeseburger to a double. their menu clearly shows that $2.50 is what they charge for an extra patty but when i mentioned this to her she said the only way she can charge me is for a double cheeseburger with a side of bacon LOL. the side of bacon was 2 strips and cost $4. either way you add it up she over charged me and had a condescending grin and attitude when i mentioned it. been going to "george's" for 45 years back when it was "rods"....never again read more

Best carne asada burritos. These bad boy burritos are the bomb. Yes, pricey. But I've shopped around and very comparable, if not better priced than other burritos that aren't bigger and better. I usually call in my order it's ready in 15 minutes. The restaurant's dining area isn't the best place to dine in. However it's perfectly fine for pick up orders. Awesome parking lot in the back. read more

Now I understand why there are always people and cars and activity at the corner of George's. We decided to find out why all the action for ourselves and now we know why. The burgers are huge and great quality. We actually split the double cheese with avocado and bacon and we overwhelmed with the great quality of the smokey meat and toppings. We also loved our order of onion rings which were not greasy and very tasty. The prices are quite reasonable and they make an extra effort to keep the premises super clean considering the volume. Great SM spot and nice alternative to the horrible chains that line Lincoln boulevard. read more

Great food and incredible service, ever since I first started coming here years ago. Here's their breakfast burrito with pastrami... crispy hash browns, fluffy scrambled eggs, tender pastrami and an out of this world pico de gallo.... even with my appetite I can barely finish one of these!

George's Burgers - Breakfast Burrito with Pastrami... aka "The Putter To Sleeper" - Burgers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

4.5 out of 5 stars it won't let me do a half star for some reason but it was really good. I got the pastrami. The only reason I'm not giving it. A five star is because they're onion rings aren't seasoned the batter is really good. I just think that they need to like stick the fry seasoning they use on the onion rings or at least more of it cause I can't really taste it. The customer service is really great though, and it reminds me of like just a nice small burger chain. Nothing crazy fancy in a good way though it feels like one of those spots I'd find back home in Texas in a small town with like 5000 people in it. read more

Great prices for the amount and quality of food you get--I always leave full and satisfied.

I called to place an order. I was about 12 min out. The young lady answered and put me on hold. I continued driving there and they had still not picked up to take my order. I was on hold for 12 min when I got there, there was no one in line. Then they had an attitude. Just bad service all around. Food is ok. read more

The burgers here are disgusting. The restaurant has trash everywhere, inside and outside of the building. It's not a clean place to eat!

Been coming to George's for years, excellent service - shoutout to Gerardo and all the awesome cooks and servers for their attention to detail, and consistently great customer service. Their cheeseburgers are always fresh and delicious, i usually add a fried egg to mine, and you can't miss out on the perfectly seasoned fries with a side of their bomb house ranch - 10/10 The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, with diner style booths located throughout. This Santa Monica staple is one of my favorites for their burgers, chicken tenders, breakfast items - and their insanely flavorful chili cheese fries. Side of ranch with everything. Love this spot and will continue coming back! read more

This review is for their breakfast burritos. Their no-frills, stuff-the-tortilla, mouth-watering, bang-for-buck, breakfast burritos. George's breakfast burritos give me life. They're nothing like those dainty, 3-bites-and-it's-finished, barely-any-protein, type breakfast burritos that are served at most of the bougie, overpriced cafes around here! read more

We have been coming here for 5 years! We love the avocado bacon cheeseburger (gigantic) and the generous portion of fries are delicious.

Oh what happened to my favorite fast food restaurant!! For many years I promoted them as the place to go for a great meal at a great price. Not anymore! The menu now contains some of the highest prices in the area. The rise in prices is unjustified. I now sadly feel that they no longer warrant my excellent recommendation but instead a warning to future patrons that they need to look elsewhere. read more

Best chili burger I've ever had. I also got the breakfast burger which was absolutely incredible and the chorizo breakfast burrito which was okay. Lots of beans and it drowned out the egg flavor. The menu has so many options it's crazy! It's got a classic diner feel and the service was friendly. But I'll be dreaming about the breakfast burger and chili burger till I come back read more

Got a club sandwich combo. $16 came with an absurd mountain of fries and onion rings and a drink. Adorable spot overlooking the corner. Big windows to look out. Huge portions.

I hadn't been back to this place in over twenty years and it's like a time capsule. Nothing has changed except now maybe Gen Z doesn't show up like Millennials did in their youth (there are no bee pollen, agave sweetened organic fruit smoothies here). Good honest food by and for good hardworking people ...appreciated that when I tried to order the kid French toast with a side of sausage, the hostess pointed out the adult platter had that and was cheaper. read more

I only had the chili cheese fries, they were decent. Better than "The Hat" but not the best. Staff was great tho!

Today was the First time that we had George's burgers . I placed the order over the phone a girl named "Jenny answered" when I say I had a lot of questions (LOL) I really did, and she was beyond amazing, she was super friendly, and even told me about her favorites, which I went with, Turkey burger. It's been an hours since we got home (SM) and ate, and omg, when I tell you I will be returning... That is 100% facts, and the menu has so many things omg, I'm gonna run through them because I don't cook twice a week. Mom & Pop places like this diner style, I have found can be some of the best. I still have my high end regulars, but I will definitely go here at least 2-4 times a month. A definite recommend, on the service and the food, and the portion. She even sent me a visual menu to keep at home, Thanks Jenny, I hope your manager see's this, your dope! God bless you honey bun. N.B read more

Great place. They have been around here for years turning out quality diner food. My go to is a double bacon cheese burger with fried zucchini. It really takes me back and I have been ordering it since I was a kid living in this area. The burger has the perfect hint of char grilled flavor and the cheese is always melted to perfection. The zucchini is always fried and breaded and goes perfect with a little ranch. They have the best ranch dressing In LA. Bar none. As most places the prices have gone up. But the quality of food is still high so I'm totally fine with it. You can't really go wrong if you order a burger, or some classic Mexican food. I come here for the burgers though. I think they are up there with the best in LA because it's one of the only places where you can get that char grilled flavor. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. Also don't forget to try the chili cheese fries if your really hungry. read more
