    Pastrami Sandwich Combo

    Great meal for under $20 My crispy fries were cooked to perfection!! + As always their Pastrami is killer! Enjoy!

    Pastrami and fries

    I drove by and noticed this burger place on the corner of Commonwealth and Brookhurst and had to try it out. It is an older restaurant and was pretty clean. I waited for three minutes or so before I could order, as the cashier was doing a few things. I ordered the Pastrami combo- Pastrami, fries and a drink (refillable). The food was warm and prepared good. There was plenty of customers and Drive thru patrons. I will return.

    Amazing food and great service! Price is also reasonable. I got the family set burgers and they were really good.

    Chicken Club Sandwich 10/10

    Best chili cheese fries! The Golden Ox is simply outdoing their competition when it comes to their chili cheese fries! They have a drive thru and it usually takes at least 7 minutes minimum to get your food because it's all made fresh. The inside is clean. I recently tried their chicken club sandwich and it was so yummy! They also have great hotdogs. I would compare their coke to McDonald's sprite because it's so crisp and refreshing.

    a bacon and cheese sandwich with fries

    I had lunch at Golden Ox Burger, it's been a long time since I've visited, so I was looking forward to it. Service was great at the beginning but once I asked for condiments they manager gave me attitude. But just brushed it off. I had the bacon burger with chillies fries, WAY OVERPRICED. The entire meal came out to $20 bucks plus tip. It was crazy.

    Fried Zucchini (comes with 1 ranch)
    Zoe A.

    Best Fried Zucchini in Fullerton! (If you like longer, juicier, and thicker slices, and less dense breading) Ranch cups given are bigger compared to other takeout spots Notes: - Burger inflation is real, most restaurants in the area now charge on average $7-8 for the burger alone (specialty/signature burgers being $10+), if you're used to pricing from 5-6 years ago when you could have had a whole combo for less than $11 - Golden Ox is on the lower end with a max burger expense at $10

    Found a long black hair in my breakfast burrito...Called the store and instead of apologizing or offering a quick refund, they told us we needed to bring the food back to the restaurant in order to issue our money back, after sending them a photo already of the hair literally embedded in the burrito!! Totally inconvenient and disappointing. Wish I would've checked their reviews before tying this place, DISGUSTING!!!

    I ordered a hamburger combo The burger was just okay, not a place I'd go back for. The service was okay, the cashier seemed she was having a bad day, I don't know if they were her kids, but looked like, the small one was crying and screaming. So for the ambiance felt a bit chaotic to be honest.

    Burgers and whole meal for under $40 bucks! Well the service was super quick. My cashier Jackie was very friendly even offered condiments which is rare now a days. What I love is that she didn't even ask for a drink carrier, she automatically gave me one. Drive thru super quick, and I was on my way. I recommend this place for efficiency, burgers tastes delicious.

    Ham and eggs, Greek omelet
    Vanessa G.

    I've been a fan of Golden Ox since the 80s, when my parents would take me to the OG location in Montebello. I'm SO happy the city I live in has a Golden Ox. It's by far my favorite burger joint of this style. You can't go wrong with the burgers here, however my absolute favorite menu on the item is the charbroiled chicken sandwich. It comes on a wheat bun with lettuce and tomato. I ask for grilled onions and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. It's the best sandwich ever! I even got my husband hooked on it. I've been ordering it this way for as long as I can remember. The chicken salad is also great here too and it's big enough to share. I LOVE the onion rings and the fries are lightly seasoned. The breakfasts here are also fantastic. My faves are the breakfast burritos and the Greek Omelet. The hash browns are the best in town. I order mine extra crispy. Service is always great and ambiance is very clean. I will forever be loyal to Golden Ox.

    Burger was good, fries were on the soggy side. Staff was pleasant. There didn't seem to be air conditioning.

    Great service! The cashier guy was very helpful with helping me out with their menu. I just order a…read morecheeseburger by itself and a non seasoning beef Pattie for my dog. Total of $11.92 great price! The cheeseburger was very fresh and tasty, just perfect for an affordable lunch! My dog's Pattie was pretty good size bigger than in n outs! Their charbroiled smoke coming out their kitchen is very appealing, makes you want to try all their menu! If you are in La brea make sure to stop here!

    In my continuing quest quest find the best fried zucchini in Orange County, I found myself in Brea…read moreat around lunch time and I decided to check it out. Sadly, I did not find what I was hoping to find. The place is clean enough upon entry and I was greeted somewhat quickly (once the cashier had finished her conversation with her coworker.) I ordered a cheeseburger combo with fried zucchini instead of french fries. The Coke from the machine was a bit flat. Bummer, but not the end of the world. Upon inspecting my receipt while I was waiting for my food, I realized that I had been charged full price for a cheeseburger ($6.59), a side of fried zucchini (a whopping $8.44), and a Coke ($3.89)...all together with tax, more than $20. According to the menu, you can make any burger a combo for an extra $5, and since a small fry is just a tad over $5, it's kind of like a combo is giving you a free Coke. It's a bummer that their system doesn't allow for substitutions, as this price did seem a little bit steep for what I was getting. When the food came out and I took a bite of my burger, I realized that I was going to want more 1000 Island spread than the burger had to offer (what can I say, I'm a sauce guy!) Surprise, surprise, - that turned out to be an extra $0.65. I had some cash on me, so I just gave the cashier a dollar and got back to my food. The burger was not bad. The fried zucchini had decent texture, but the breading was a bit thick for my preference and it lact flavor. All in all, the meal was just sorta okay. Price wise, it was definitely on the high side! I don't need for for restaurant meal that I enjoy to make me feel like I'm getting some kind of bargain, but if I'm paying premium pricing, I expect an outstanding. I don't see myself coming back.
