My cheeseburger was huge! And the fries that came with it was also a proportion. I ordered a combo, so it also came with a drink. My burger had good flavor. For the price of $14.99, it was a great deal!. read more

Gold Star Hamburger in Glendale was honestly not it for me. We stopped by to grab a quick breakfast before dropping off family, thinking it would be easy and casual... but the price for basic breakfast burritos was actually insane. Like, I understand prices are up everywhere, but these burritos did not match the price tag at all. It felt way too expensive for something so simple, and sadly, it just wasn't worth it. Convenient stop? Sure. But for the price, I expected way more. read more

Honestly every time I get something from here it comes out delicious. The woman at the front counter is very quick and the cleanliness of the area she is around is very well kept. I've been working in this area for a year and some change and this is one of the few spots I'm enjoying regularly. read more

I'm truly hooked on their pastrami sandwich now. Highly recommended. It's huge, delicious, and I think about it often ;)

I love old-school burger joints. I wanted to like it here, but it was just okay. The burger and fries here are made well; decent. Their RANCH dressing is different. What comes to mind is a ton of Paprika with a bland finish. Whatever the ingredient that makes their ranch "pink" doesn't belong in the dressing. The onion rings were thick cut and had tough batter texture, not my favorite. It was ok. Employees were nice. The place is very clean, no AC inside on a hot day. Drive-thru available. Plenty of parking space. They take card and cash. read more

Came here with a few coworkers during lunch and ordered the Family 4x4 Combo (4 burgers, 4 fries, 4 drinks) -- such a good deal for the amount of food! The burgers were classic and satisfying, the fries were hot and crispy, and everything came out super fast and fresh. However, they also have a huge comprehensive menu. I definitely want to return to try some of their breakfast items and BLT. The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient -- you can tell they take pride in the place. The manager recommended a side of chilis with the burgers and it totally hit the spot! The whole vibe is charmingly vintage, like an old-school burger diner joint. It's also very clean, which is always a big plus for me. Perfect spot if you're craving a no-frills, feel-good burger meal. Will definitely be back! read more

The food was overall pretty good, Me and Jhoanna came to celebrate our monthsary. I had a burger and she had a fish sandwich. Burger is cooked too long and the fries are thick cut which is a turn off. Her fish sandwich though is really delicious. I only deducted a star because they charged for thousand island! read more

Quaint corner dinner. Friendly, Cousy and reasonable prices. The food is delicious. My drive through favorites are the fried zucchini and chile fries when I want something quick but not heavy.

I wasn't expecting for this restaurant to be much but, I'm glad I was wrong. Our family decided to dine here for lunch and it was pretty damn good. I ordered the chicken salad with ranch dressing and a cheeseburger combo. The chicken was seasoned extremely well and had that charbroiled flavor which I loved! The salad was super fresh and it was delicious. The burger was also delicious, the fries were fresh and I absolutely appreciated the customer service. My food was brought to my table and it's little things like that which make me want to come back. Definitely check this place out for a great lunch or dinner! read more

Gold Star has the best breakfast burritos, hands down. My friends recommend "four and four" sausage and bacon, that's a little too much meat for me but two and two is just as tasty. The red and green salsas elevate the burrito experience, this place has seriously ruined almost any other breakfast burrito I've tried since. Staff is friendly and the food is cooked fairly quickly. Lots of clean seating where you can enjoy your breakfast burrito. read more

Had a hamburger. It was pretty good. The location is kind of old fashion but still very clean. I only deducted a star because the point of sale machine (pos) asked for a tip, which felt very weird to me at a fast food hamburger joint. read more

I was a fan of the chorizo burrito and was craving it and even barely made it on time to meet there time requirement of 11:30 cut off. I stood in line for 5 minutes in which I was told to hold on a minute. When the cashier arrrived again, she said that breakfast was no longer served. It was 11:33am. I stood in line at 11:28am. And was told breakfast can't be served to me. Extremely disappointed since I arrived on time. I just wasn't attended in a timely manner. read more

I hadn't been here in a while, so I was happy give them a try again, as my son loves it here. This time I had their fried zucchini and the taquitos. The fried zucchini is a very generous serving, so I would say that was a good value. However, I only got two taquitos for $4.75. The zucchini comes with ranch dressing and the taquitos come with a smooth creamy guacamole-like dip. Tables were clean and the lady who took my order was nice. Over all, I think Gold Star is fine for a no-frills burger joint. My favorites are the BLT, the chorizo breakfast burrito, the fried zucchini, and the taquitos (I would prefer an additional taquito for the price). read more

So much love for this place - it's classic California in every way possible and so incredibly nostalgic. Please don't forget a heritage business like this with all these new jacks selling trends. 11/10 amazing California char burger read more

In the mood for a quick lunch in Glendale? Stop by Good Star for that old school burger stand treatment. You know the one where their deep frier has been going for multiple decades, yeah it's that type of day. Got a cheeseburger with fries and a drink combo, which was the recharge I needed before I had to hop back on the highway. Don't ever brave the 5 to the 110 to the 405 on an empty stomach. read more

The three of us skipped Sunday dinner so we were hankering for a feast of comfort food, which we hot at this womderful cafe. At $46 the meal comsisted of 2 Tostadas woth Carnitas, and one burger with Pastrami. We shared one order of fried zucchini. The gorge fest was made to order. We don't have this kind of food where we are from so appreciate what they have to offer. Generous portions abound with what we ordered. For breakfast I'm a Chorizo burrito kind of guy with the love for pork chops. We left this establishment satisfied. read more

Food - Average, at best. Service - Not bad, no complaints. Ambiance - Fine. Fairly quiet, clean restaurant. Plenty of parking. Price - RIDICULOUS! $36.82 for two cheeseburger combo meals! The burgers were average at best. Compare to In-N-Out at nearly half the cost, with no expectation of gratuity. read more

Great burgers. Close to the train station to go to Sta Barbara. They serve wine and beer and snacks.

Having lived in the area for many years, I finally decided to give this place a try. It always seems to have customers though I've never seen it packed so it can't be all that bad. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted. We quickly placed an order for their cheeseburger combo. I opted for grilled onions on the burger which also came with fries and a soda. The combos were ready in less than 5 minutes and we proceeded to chow down. The cheeseburgers came with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese and sauce. The first bite revealed a nice char flavor reminiscent of a good, freshly grilled burger patty. The patty came to the edges of the bun (a plus) and the onions were not overly grilled so they still had a bite to them. Overall the flavors were nicely balanced. The only complaint I had was that the meat was obviously one of those frozen, pre-made patties. The quality of the meat was substandard with little pieces of chewy gristle throughout. If it made with a decent quality freshly ground 80/20 meat, this burger would have scored much higher marks. There was an abundance of fries with the order. They were on the larger side though not as big as steak fries. They were freshly fried with minimal crunch on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I prefer my fries to be a bit more crispy so these missed the mark for me. Overall I was neither impressed nor unimpressed. It was a decent, honest burger, thus the 3 stars. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but it hit the spot at that particular moment. If I could convince them to use fresh ground beef and to cook the fries a bit longer, I'd definitely bump up my score because the place has potential. read more

The food and the service were very good. I recommend the bacon burger with a side of onion rings or fries. Also, the food was very big.

After landing in LA and getting picked up from the airport, my friend asked me what I was in the mood for to which I said, "Give me something affordable, yummy, and fast." He took me here and it was exactly what I had in mind. It's a pretty non-descript little building that has a throwback charm to it with a really great 90's vibe on the inside. It feels like nothing has changed when you walk in and that's part of the warmth here. My friend suggested the cheeseburger combo special so that's what I ordered and we shared some onion rings too. As far as LA goes, burgers are sacred and there are some serious heavy hitters. This burger is *not* the best I've ever had, but is it among the better ones...? Absolutely. It's simple, it's flavorful, it's beefy, and perfectly melty. The fries are the kind of thick cut fry you dream of in the best cafeterias and the onion rings were super crispy. Overall, everything was very good. read more

I love supporting local, independently owned restaurants in L.A. and have passed by Gold Star for many years, always meaning to eventually check it out. Finally made it here after all this time, but the results were mediocre. The burger, while tasty, is not in my top 10 of burgers in LA. One of my pet peeves is a burger with an overtoasted bun coupled with a bun that is too big for the meat/contents. I literally had 1/2 the bun left after eating through the patty and the generous portion of lettuce and tomato. They do get a star for having real, brewed iced tea--something that is becoming a rarity in L.A. The one odd thing about the restaurant is that I visited around noon on a Saturday and as people finished on one side, a caution tape was put up and gradually extended by the staff blocking off an entire side of restaurant seating. Seemed super weird. The menu is extensive and I would like to try the pastrami and pork chops on a future visit. read more

Horrible ass experience today. I have been ordering from here for many years and next always over $50. Today I was asked if I was from a neighboring business and I said no because today I'm ordering for my family then I was told I need to make a payment now since it's over $50. I asked when did this start and she says it has always been that way it's nothing new, I told her not to lie because I have been ordering from them for over 15 years and never hand i been asked for any payment over the phone only my phone number for them to confirm the caller ID. Then she rudely tells me if I'm going to make the payment or not so I said no and she's tells me she's canceling my order. I need to find a new place for my family and work that doesn't lie and act like I'm trying to rob them. read more

I stopped by Gold Star Hamburgers in Glendale this morning (around opening time, before 11 AM) hoping to grab a steak sandwich through the drive-thru. I was the only car in line, so after waiting a couple of minutes with no response on the intercom, I pulled forward to the window -- something I've seen others do and even been directed to do by staff in the past. Note: The drive-thru setup here is a bit awkward, as everything has to be handled from the passenger side. When I reached the window and rolled it down, the cashier approached with a very annoyed expression. The first thing she said (without any greeting or smile) was a rude "Did you already order?" while rolling her eyes. I was caught off guard -- I shook my head no, still trying to be polite with a smile. She repeated the question with more attitude and another eye roll. I was so shocked by the unwelcoming tone that I decided not to order and drove away immediately. I understand everyone has off days, but as a customer pulling in to give business (especially to a place with already high prices), a simple "Good morning" or basic courtesy goes a long way. Service attitude matters a lot -- it's often what brings people back or sends them to one of the many other options on Brand Blvd. One bad interaction can really impact a place's reputation. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but it left a sour impression and I won't be returning. read more
