This is exactly what you would hope for from a hole in a wall type spot in a random location in the IE. Solid tasty burger, at a great price. Not trying to be anything it's not. Does a few things and does them well. Their sauce is top notch, burgers have a nice char, and the ingredients are fresh. Know what you are getting going in. A cheaply priced meal, with good ingredients, made to order. In a place that looks like it's been around since at least the 80s. And done well. Gotta keep places like this alive. Highly suggest paying the extra 50¢ to get their house sauce on the side. Will be combining back for a quick lunch! read more

Grandpa took me here a lot when I was in college and I always enjoyed the burgers. My #1 burger place to go to in San Bernardino. Sadly I didn't get to go to it on my trip to Southern California recently. Next time though, the service is great, they are very friendly. It's a tad bit small with a few tables but I am glad that this place is still here as my Dad use to go here a lot when he was working across the street at the railroad depot. read more

Probably one of the best burgers Ive had. The sauce has a pepper taste to it. The fries are always crispy. They take tap to pay for card payments. read more

Earlier today on my lunch, I went around 1220 as I'm sitting waiting for my food. I noticed the Asian guy that takes the orders. He has no gloves on or even washes his hands. I watched him grab a chicken burger, the patty with bare hands, no gloves and throw it onto the grill to deep fry it. I also seen him in the back. He sneezed again did not wash his hands, and he continued to cut the zucchini with his bare hands and now one time did I see him wash his hands after he had sneezed I don't know why they haven't got like a surprise check but this place seriously needs to be looked out for health violations because this is just unacceptable. The lady that is cooking the burgers she has on gloves, but he doesn't that don't make sense. read more

Burgers not tasty anymore, I was disappointed in the zucchini, it use to be very good, don't like the fat slices! Also I asked if they had ice tea, she said yes and she gave me a lemonade,I don't think I'll be back! read more

John's Burger - double burgers - Burgers Near Me - San Bernardino, California

This is a hole in the wall restaurant that has Amazing food. The burgers are simple yet very tasty. Everything is made to order fresh. Not sure what they do with the fries but it is definitely up there for my top fries. Definitely recommend if you want to eat a yummy burger. read more

Was looking for a new burger place to try and this spot came up. The burgers aren't seasoned and have no true flavor at all. Double burger comes with one slice of cheese which is odd. The fries tasted like the oil had not been changed for quite some time. The best portion of the meal was the drink. The hunt for a good burger place continues. Customer service was friendly that's where the 2 stars come in. read more

I work downtown and was craving a good California fast food burger. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try -- I should have paid more attention to the bad reviews. The burger patties strongly resembled those from the bulk Smart & Final burger patty box -- the kind you cook straight from frozen. This suggests the meat isn't very fresh, likely frozen at least a couple of times. The burger included a single, thick slice of tomato and a generous portion of lettuce. The bun was nicely toasted, but the fries were thick-cut and lacked seasoning. Overall, it was a mediocre burger from a place that claims to specialize in burgers. Portions were another disappointment, especially given the price. The double cheeseburger combo was $11.50, but I ended up paying $12.50 because I used a card -- with no clear signage about the fee, which violates California restaurant code. The fries were about half to three-quarters of the typical portion you'd expect from a California fast food spot. When I asked for ketchup, they handed me just three packets. Even the drink was small, served in an 8 oz cup -- and they didn't even bother to fill it to the top and skimped on the ice. The atmosphere didn't help either. The restaurant was completely silent aside from the sounds of the kitchen -- no music, no TV -- more sterile than a hospital waiting room. Despite the dining room being full, the lack of background noise seemed to make people uncomfortable to talk. In short, if you're looking for a fast burger, good value, decent portions, or a welcoming ambiance, this place doesn't have it. read more

Friendly service and fast fresh first time here and was not disappointed I recommend this little spot if you come across it make sure you stop by and get you something for you and the family. Places is small but clean. read more

Was curious about this place for years and after reading all the excellent reviews we decided to try it for my birthday. What a disappointment!! The staff was friendly but the food was just edible certainly not worthy of all the rave reviews read more

Been coming here since 1983. The owners are great and the burgers are what others wish they were. The restaurant has been updated and still feels like when I was a kid. read more

Foods not bad at all. Good little burger spot but I just watched the owner (the Asian guy) digging in his nose. He wasn't handling the food but he was handling people's drinks and the condiments. read more

John's Burger - Bacon cheese burger - Burgers Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Usually the food makes up for such an ugly, poorly furnished building. Not John's Burger. Absolutely nothing special about their burgers, or the staff. I've lived around the corner from it for 33 yrs, and decided to try it. We have no reason to return. BTW, they did let go of a few pennies and got a Square for debit/credit. read more

Decent but $9 bacon cheeseburger more than I thought it would be for a fast food place and around $8 for zucchini sticks

Amazing prices and super good food. The employees have always been nice and the wait has never been excessive! I love the new renovations they did as well. read more

Great burgers and fries! I came here after dropping my friend off at San Bernardino Station so he could take the train towards Los Angeles, in what is probably the worst imaginable commute on Earth except for driving towards Los Angeles - and I was pretty hungry for unclear reasons, so I decided to see what was nearby. I located John's Burgers, a fairly nondescript burger joint not so far from the station. It had just opened, so I decided to visit as their first probable customer of the day. Place is cash only, but it's not so bad because the price includes taxes. So when the combo says "$10", it's actually just a $10 bill - you aren't "why can't I hold all these watermelons" fumbling with endless coins for the coin god. Anyways, I opted for the double bacon cheeseburger $10 combo, because I make bad but tasty health decisions. The fries came out piping hot (good!). They weren't quite as large as steak fries, but they were definitely large enough - large enough that I could bite into them and see steam arise from the fresh hot potatoes inside. Anyways, the fries are absolutely awesome, and I basically inhaled them. The burger was a crisp, flavorful burger. Wasn't too greasy and you could taste all of the vegetables inside the burger, as well as the bacon. It also wasn't messy, and it wasn't too big to fit in the mouth. In terms of flavor profile, the 1000 Island dressing and the fresh vegetables really made me think of it as a lot like an In and Out Burger, but just broadly fancier/bigger/nicer. So in short - an absolutely great burger! Nothing here was really surprising or reinvents American fast food - but it's just a really good burger and fries at a reasonable price. As such, this place is absolutely recommended if you're in the area and want a burger/fries. read more

Place is good but not worth going out of the way for. Burger was good but the bun to meat ratio wasn't & $1 for refills. Rating is a little high but I guess it's great for the city of San Bernardino. read more

Change tires for my car nearby this restaurant to kill time . my boyfriend suggested this place, at first when I saw it I told him he looks shady. Lol. We ordered two double bacon cheeseburger combo . it was pretty good. I'd rather eat here than In-N-Out lol. highly recommended.. read more

Great burgers and salads. And a good place to people watch. During the week, you can see lots of friends. And on weekends, its a lot of fun to see the excited groups of kids, and families from out of town. The selections are good. Quite a few burgers and a quite comfortable diner style menu, as well. The staff is very attentive and although the place is almost always bustling, the pace is quite impressive, considering the crowds. And if you happen to be in a real hurry, their call in, pick up service is one of the best in town. Enjoy! Roger Medanich read more

Best burger in town by far. Quick and friendly service. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and it was really good.

It was pretty good. Nothing special, just a regular hamburger stand. I wish they had more options to choose from. The customer service was amazing. read more

I haven't been here in years for a hamburger since Jr. College back in the 1990's. I came back to visit and bring my son to eat one of the best hamburgers and hidden secrets of Berdoo. It's older building but the place is still very clean inside and out! My son had two hamburgers, fries and washed it down with a coke! I had one and it's still a hamburger fresh and fantastic! Service is great as always! read more

Not a bad little place to grab a bite to eat. Make sure you bring cash because they have no atm. Which means cash only. The food is pretty good, the hamburger patty's could be a little thicker. And the buns a super thick. Service was good and parking is limited. Defiantly will be going back again. As long as I have cash in my pocket. read more

If you know then you know. The cheeseburgers are good. But mainly you need to get the fried zucchini. read more
