Went to the front to pick up my order. The lady working the register was looking agitated. I asked her if she had my order ready for pick up. She looked at me and said "I don't have no order for pick up". I thought I was in the wrong but asked again. The lady looked and finally saw the order and said I had to wait. Super rude customer service. read more

I'm not I don't like businesses that hide the kitchen. It could be completely filthy, and the food was just OK. I would prefer to make my own burger at home if that's the case. read more

Had a fish sandwich special today. The fish was perfect but the fry's were over cooked and the bun was too big for the portion of fish. I will NOT BE GETTING THE FISH SANDWICH ANYMORE!!!!! read more

What can I say best hood burgers in town. My go too's are the turkey burger the pastrami burger and the wings. Sometimes they mess ur order but fix it right away. read more

Love the food the people are nice and the burgers are real burgers. Prices are fair. The western location can look a little cleaner, However, worth the drive read more

The area is a little sketch but the burgers are good. Haven't tried all the other stuff and probably won't since it's called master burger. I'm here for the burgers only lol ! Staff was okay. Not rude not nice. Just there to take your order. No big deal. I've been here a few times and I don't live in this area or the city. I'll go again if I'm in the area but it's nothing to make a drive about. read more

Over all...The burger was good but I've had better but the wings......oh lord that was the blandest piece of meat I've ever put in my mouth. How can something covered in sauce still NEED salt? Trust me when I say I'm not a salt fanatic but this was just ick. Decent prices but I rather spend more if it means I get better flavors. read more

Haven't been to this place for a few years.But was in the neighbor and was up for food. Like other people have stated (people hanging around and during these coronavirus times,no body have masks on) Any way, in the past, waiting time is 20 -30 minutes wait. But, today it took about 6,7 mintues. The burgers were the dry and cold.Worst burger in my life. Also ,no prices on menu broad or on web site. Made mistake,not to break down the price. 1 masterburger, 1 masterburger comb, and enchilada plate. For $30.00 even. Not 30.33 cents. Doesn't said tax included. There were some prices on a few of pictures, like 10.99. Also, at night, it's always with people hang around. (Druggies, pamhanding) Will never go back. Stay away from this. place! ..Oh, the meat patty ,seemed that it was already cook before I got there.That why it only 6 minutes compare to 25 or 30 minutes wait time read more

Soooooooo good! The teriyaki plate is so simple but fire! Chili cheese pastrami fries are a must have or just the pastrami sandwich. The pastrami is tender and moist and perfectly salted. I HATE bland tasting pastrami. Like it's been sitting in water losing all the flavor. Master Burger pastrami definitely doesn't taste like that. They only accept cash, so be prepared for that. There's an ATM on site but it seems SUPER sketchy. Just bring cash and save that hassle. Love these classic local spots that have been around forever. read more

I just found out. That this place was under new management beware! the food is discussed. The fries taste like season shit and the Burger was dry and unflavored I miss the old management bring back your old cooks. Look at my picture of the fries read more

Some of their food is good but BEWARE chili cheese dogs have A LOT of mustard & relish!! It only says cheese and chili on the menu & when I took a bite I was surprised because I never heard of a chili cheese dog with mustard & relish. They should make customers aware of what they add on the food! So upset, I couldn't even eat it :( So disappointed because it would've been good without it. read more

"Now that's a tasty burger!" Ok first a shout out to Eli G for his Burger List that alerted me to this jewel. Man was he on point about this burger. Yes the area is sketchy but I've been around worse so I wasn't deterred. Thick seasoned ground beef just like homemade where the meat dominates the sandwich. I believe they are 1/3 pounders cooked perfectly. Juicy, flavorful and not a bit greasy. I got one with bacon and the patty was so damn good that the bacon was an afterthought. Heresy I know.. bacon makes everything taste better, but being in competition with the burger wasn't a fair fight. The simple condiments of pickles, tomato, lettuce, mustard and ketchup was just divine. Now there was a bum who darted over to an adjoining table while I was waiting and just stared into the night. 10 tables to choose from and he sits 5 feet away from me. Sheeesh..The smell was starting to overpower the beefy aroma from the kitchen when he turned toward me and mumbled about money. I told him twice I didn't have any change and went back to my paper. He continues to stare for another 30 seconds or so and spastically jumps up. I then pop up, rear back my fist when he just scurries away oblivious to me and anything else in the immediate vicinity. Then the laughing counter guy, "Master of the Obvious" states... uhh that guy is crazy. Oh really?? You don't say? Where's my burger so I can get the hell outta here. After the first couple of bites, the adrenaline subsided and my focus returned to the heavenly burger. When you go, don't go at night if possible. But go you must, to eat one of the best burgers in town. read more

Hey, they make very good hot wings..They were big and crunchy and fully cooked.. I hate soft hot wings! They were perfect! I hated how they had no prices next to the food items tho.. Ooh and the tax is no longer included in the price like another review stated. Now will I go back for these delicious wings.. I don't know, i know they have another location that I may have to try because going there made me feel like i was putting my life at risk! But my little one chewed through seven- she slowly bit one in her test to see of it was nasty and said, ooh these are so good, because the place was so dirty and scary looking i thought they was going to be gross.. Then promptly destroyed the rest of them.. read more

Ordered california burrito and carne asada burrito. Was it edible...yes. Was it good???? No. Never had a California burrito that didn't have rice, beans, sour cream or guac. This one had only carne asada, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Very strange. My coworker said his carne asada burrito ruined his day. read more

Tonight was my first and last time going to the nasty overpriced establishment. Wet burrito - which was dry. How the hell when wet is in the name?! The steak meat was hella salty. The shit looks like they through everything in the plate then tucked the tortilla around it and added ketchup and chips. Turkey burger - was also dry. I asked for extra mayo and pickles. I didn't get either! Chilli cheese fries- were cold and nasty. How the fuck do mess up dolores chili? Who does that?! Cheese wasnt even melted. After waiting 30 minutes and spending $23 this was complete BS. read more

Master Burger - Nasty ass chilli cheese fries - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not The same Master Burger from back in the day. The Cheese burger was the absolute worst. Big ass dried out bun with huge cracks, maybe got the bread from day old store. Not a handmade ground beef patty instead a pre made previously frozen so called beef patty. Day old crusty, recooked hard ass fries that were orange in color. Can't believe I risked getting mugged at this sketchy ass place NEVER AGAIN!!!! read more

These people just suck . It's overpriced, and they're rude. I've been stabbed, and I felt more upset at these people who slammed the window in our face. We're not rude people. Imagine all the people.... read more

This place is trash. Everyone has an attitude. Asked for a burger with no cheese. Guess what? Cheese. Instead of remaking it, they scraped it off and when confronted she insisted it was remade. I would rather starve than spend my money here again. read more

I LOVE Master Burger! It's funny that folks are calling this Murder Burger. I used to live and have a business around the corner and I was never scared of the area and found that most folks in the area were friendly and looked out for each other. The food is definitely not for the calorie-conscious or faint-of-heart. This is the place you go when you want something juicy, drippy, cheesy, and delicious. Their menu is so varied...from burgers to tacos to pancakes to chicken and everything in between, you are bound to find something for everyone in your group. You can customize everything to your liking. Two thumbs up as far as food is concerned. I LOVE the fried mushrooms! One word of caution...ALWAYS check your bags and make sure you have everything. Nothing worse than getting home and finding out you're missing your fries, ranch dressing, etc. That's the main reason they didn't get 5 stars from me...we've been missing an item or two on several occasions. They're fine with replacing missing items, it's just inconvenient. And it is a good idea to call ahead to order so you aren't waiting for forever. They move fast, but are so busy, sometimes there is a wait. And if you're scary, you won't want to wait too long. read more

Okay. The food here was so good I had to order it again the next day. I got the chicken nuggets and fries for my kids which came out smoking hot the fries were season well and so crisp which I'm glad because I thought they would come out soggy. Then I got the nachos and oh my gosh I don't even like half of the stuff they put on there but it was still so delicious. I didn't want to be picky and request certain things off in case they would mess up the order but the nachos were huge and big. Delivery was super fast this time. Will be ordering again probably this week lol read more

Master Burger - This is my burger that I ordered with cheese - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They don't have their prices posted so they can change them at their own convenience. They over charge for simple meals. The food isn't all that, plus they have super slow service and are almost always rude towards customers . Your better off just going to Louisiana next door. read more

So disappointed... can't even complain to postmates because it's not the drivers fault that the food order came in wrong. I will say that the restaurant was nice enough to try and fix it when I called upset. They asked me to order a side of ranch through postmates so they could deliver the rest of my order (I didn't want to drive over there during my short lunch break). There was no option to order ranch so I ordered a mouse cake for $4.99. -___- when I got my order for the 2nd time I had 2 soggy bags, 1 with fries & the other with soggy chicken strips..... NEVER AGAIN read more

there are two full stories to this adventure. one to retrieve the food, and one about the food. 1.) this place is in the ghetto. Vernon and Western is a little sketchy, during the 10 minute wait we were hit up for change at least 5 times by bums and crazies of all degrees. at one point a black guy came up to us and started laughing and said, "so what y'all doing here? you're Caucasian ya know." i reply, "hey man we're poor too." he laughs and starts telling us that we shouldn't be scared to come down here and blah blah, all in good fun. i told him the internet told us the burger was good and he readily agreed. it was a little confusing to order the burger. i just said "double king master bacon cheese." when the food came my bag weighed over 2lbs. 2.) we return to the lesser ghetto. my burger is mammoth, i try to take a bite and i can't even get my mouth over both patties and that's saying a lot. but the meat is awesome, full of flavor and juicy burger goodness. it reminded me exactly of how mom used to make, just good ground meat, seasoned right with goopy cheese and bacon that sadly was lost in the 2lbs of meat i was eating. i had to attack the burger from the outside and work my way in. but the edges had that wonderful taste the last bite of a great burger has, but over and over around the circumference of the burger. by the time i reached the center, most of the bottom bun had disintegrated and i was reduced to scooping up chunks of chuck and taking a more 'hands-on' approach. somehow i got it all down, this was also the first meal i had in the 18 hours since i had the super burrito: http://www.yelp.com/biz/taquerias-el-atacor-11-los-angeles but this will be the end of my gluttony filled weekend. but yeah, that was a damn good burger. just a point down because of the total ghetto location. ***UPDATE 12.17.2007*** went back and got a single giant patty this time, with chili, bacon and cheese. GOD DAMN I LOVE THIS BURGER!!!! i think I'm liking it more than lucky devils and some of my old favorites. the meat is just perfect! ***UPDATE 3.2.2008*** Been back a number of times now, pretty much the best burger ever. This last time I got the small chili cheese fries, $2.50! That's the after tax price and you get a good sized chunk of chili cheese fries. I was sad to not get a burger but at that moment in my life it would have killed me. read more

#1 Call in advance #2 Have cash ready #3 Get your food #4 Get out My semiannual favorite is the Double King with bacon and egg. The burgers are homemade style and come with mayo, mustard, iceberg lettuce, tomato, pickle slices and raw white onions. The cheese is American. They use generous amounts of black pepper seasoned to perfection. The sacred meat juice soaks the bun and adds an extra wow factor. I also recommend the chili cheese fries. Heart-stopping mounds of crisp, thick fries swimming in chili and melted American cheese. This is a better-than-average and incredibly 'Recession Friendly' burger, not worth driving across town for but worth making a detour for if you're in the area. read more

MASTERBURGER DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I have ordered from this place on several occasions through Postmates. On each occasion, I specifically asked them to "seal or staple the bag" to prevent drivers from eating my fries as they have in the past. Each time I received my bag from this place, the bag was crumpled and it was apparent that half of the fries had been eaten. Everyone knows by now that food delivery drivers openly admit to eating out of the bags of customers, and fries are the number one casualty - (look it up on Google or Youtube). Today was the last time I receive a half-eaten bag of fries. I want what I pay for and would prefer that I not be at risk for contracting Covid or some food borne illness from tampered food. I won't be ordering from here again. If they can't spring for a simple 3 cent tamper-proof seal or at least staple my bag, they don't need my business. read more

The nature of my business takes me through all parts of the city I love, from the pristine mansions of Beverly Hills to the gritty neighborhoods of the inner city. You need to experience both ends of the spectrum to appreciate both ends of the spectrum. The chase of the elusive sale does not discriminate and what I learned ages ago when I used to hustle, er... solicit.. uh.. i mean when i began my entrepreneurship in the fulfillment of various services to customers in the office buildings of LA, was to never judge a book by its cover. This brings me to a new great spot... Master Burger! In wrapping up an appointment in the inner city.. I asked Ms. Stallworth, where was the best place to get a burger around here? as it was 830 and I was starving. Ms. Stallworth said: "You need to go to Master Burger,, but you better be hungry because its a big hamburger.. and i hope u dont mind the area" I said: "Ms. Stallworth ,,, I AM STARVING,, i dont mind nothing... " So,,, I GPS it to Vernon/Western like she said and I found the Master Burger stand. Of course anywhere I go is parking challenged so.. i just parked on the street. I looked at the large menu board and ordered a Double Master Burger w/cheese. FYI. I dont think the employees take any customer service training classes here. Anyway.. a Master Burger is just this... a home made, home ground patty, of juicy, greasy goodness. It is a simple burger w/cheese, lettuce, pickles, onion, tomato and mustard... But,, the key is the fresh ground , hand made patty,, jus like a homemade burger, lotsa black pepper goodness and seasoned to perfection. The juicy meat goodness soaks the bun and each bite gets better and better as you work your burger. The double Master Burger is BIG.... maybe bout 1/2 pound? The wait was about 10 min for my burger as i think they make the patties to order. I havent had a burger THIS good in a looong time. Homemade, well seasoned, hot, juicy, cheesy .. damn! Fries are ok... thick cut.. nothing spectacular.. So,,, if u are up to checking out some real LA goodness the reward is worth the risk ..A homestyle burger which I would never have known of if I hadnt asked... Thank you Ms. Stallworth read more

Ahhh, the oh so famous Master Burger... Well with all honesty, I can say this place is just way too overrated. I am one to praise a good burger, but this one was a big dissapointment for me. Although the patty is huge in size, the taste is flat. It's as though they just seasoned the meat in black pepper. It is definitely centralized in a bad neighborhood and unfortunately for me, I ended up going at around 10:00pm so I did get to enjoy the sirens and hookers that walk the streets in front of this joint... read more

Master Burger gets a 3 star rating because of the danger factor and because it has fallen off over the years. I stay around the corner from "Murder" Burger, which close residents call it. They've recently removed the benches in front so vagrants and loiterers would possibly stay away. Not happening. This used to be the best burger I ever had in my life and they were huge and juicy. You couldnt finish a King burger, and a Junior burger was normal burger size. Since the original owner died, they opened up 2 more stores and the burgers got smaller and sometimes arent seasoned throughout. They used to be all the time. It is still a good burger though, dont get me wrong. Just order in advance and you should be fine. Also they have a good batch of chili cheese fries. read more

Is it in a safe area? Not really. Will you probably see gang members (or rivals) in the area? Probably. Is it best to call ahead? Yes. It's always "15 minutes). But seriously, the Master Burger with Cheese combo is $5. You can't beat that deal. Fries are good, with a seasoned salt. And the burgers are one of the better ones around. So, call ahead, get in, and get out. Don't wear red or blue either. You'll be fine. And happy you went! read more

As far as ghetto-burgers go, this hits the spot and doesn'tbreak the bank. First off, it's HUGE. the Plus: the bun was warm meaty patty crispy on edges, really filling and good cheese ratio. nutmegy horchata, they also offer strawberry bang, thinck cut crispy seasoned fries, about $6, parking, well lit. Meat tasted fresh. You could tell what the ingredients had once been. Not Mc Donald's. The bad: too many choices! meat only seasoned with salt, fries a tad too salty Overall yummy I'm now set on trying their breakfast and fried zuccini/mushroom combo thingy with a side of 2 mile walk as atonement. read more
