Deliciously crispy chili cheese fries. I enjoyed them very much. Very kind and accommodating service. I let them know my daughter is allergic to sesame seeds and they gave me 2 bottom breads to be safe, since the top has sesame seeds. I have never had anyone request to go through the trouble of possibly wasting 2 top buns. I was extremely pleased with the service and quality of the food. Plus the price is great. I got small chili cheese fries ( which were very filling) 2 cheese burgers, fries and a drink for only $19! Oh and love their side ranch. Got one as well! read more

Straight to the point - If you're looking for a good ol' fashioned burger joint this is the place to come! I got a double cheeseburger, added avocado, fries, and a small drink. Came out to $11.65. I'm stuffed as hell and I have left over fries! Place was clean and remained busy so I guess that's pretty good. Lady was friendly and service was fast. I'll definite come back here for another "cheat" meal! Lol! read more

My boyfriend showed me this place just recently and I loved the bacon avocado burger ! The fries AMAZING! Crispy fresh! My hubby gets large chili cheese fries he loves it ! Clean place ! Good pricing for the amount of food you get !! Never to packed ethier food is always done so quickly and still fresh when we eat it @ home! Fries don't get soggy at all! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes burgers !! read more

Service was quick nd to the point! Food was pretty good! Burger wasnt dry or too red inside. I really enjoyed my lunch here today and I usually try out all kinds of burger joints that don't satisfy me. If I ever stop by this city I will always come here for burgers read more

This is a pretty good place if you want that traditional breakfast; eggs, toast, and hashbrows. Prices are about $7 per plate. There's plenty of seating area and the restaurant is located on a corner so you could watch the traffic drive by. My breakfast was perfect. The hashbrows here are awesome. read more

Nick's Burgers - The sausage breakfast $5.50 (Orange Juice extra) - Burgers Near Me - El Monte, California

Nothing special, just a regular old burger joint. I expected more with all the great Yelp reviews. Just OK I guess.

This tiny diner has a clean looking dining area with pretty pictures on the walls. It has just one cook manning the front kitchen. The benches and tables had no carving or graffiti. The walls looked intact and the dining area looked very nice overall. I ordered a pancake breakfast that included eggs, sausage and two pancakes. The food itself was fine. I appreciated that they also had tomato salsa for my eggs. However, I was appauled at how sticky and grimy my plates were. My plates were not washed properly. Dirty plates are not acceptable. Worst of all, their pancake syrup was terrible. It was definitely not maple because there was no maple taste at all. It may have been simple corn syrup. I would not eat here again. Flames Express down the street is a much better diner. read more

Nick's Burgers - Pancake special and an order of hash browns - Burgers Near Me - El Monte, California

Not all burgers are the same. I love how the burgers at Nick's Burgers taste. I can't get enough. Highly recommend anyone to try.

From the outside, Nick's is a non-descript burger join. But once you get a taste of their food, whatever it might be, it'll forever be very much non-descript for you. In my immediate vicinity, I have Nick's, and a host of chain fast foods to choose from. Nearly always the decision is Nick's! Awesome burgers, excellent fries (I like mine crispy :), an excellent hot pastrami, and in the mornings, an excellent breakfast burrito. (hmmmm, I think I'll drop in, first thing in the morning, and pick one up, with sausage. I've had many items from their menu board and have never been disappointed. :) read more

Not somewhere to bring company, but a convenient place to pick up lunch if you're working in the area. Large parking lot with entrances/exits both on Valley Boulevard and Arden. Small dining area, quick, friendly counter service. Typical charbroiled burger on sesame seed bun with mayo, shredded Iceberg lettuce, tomato, pickle. Previously frozen French fries, and watery fountain drinks with free serve yourself refills. Not very appetizing chicken plate served with fries, onion rings, bread roll. Better than McDonald's. read more

This place is fantastic, tried it for the first time today... Very clean inside, sweet cashier and absolutely delicious food! Can't wait to go back read more

Great spot, classic mom and pop burger joint. Fast and friendly service. The food is good! Great burger s and plenty of fries.

I've come here plenty of times and this ain't the first time I ever found a hair in my food.

Too much I cannot finish Good and quick service Keep it up It's pretty hot inside and should upgrade their ventilation read more

Good spot for a hamburger. Hamburger is the classic burger you would find at any other spot similar to Nick's. They serve you a lot of fries if you get the hamburger special. So sharing a special and getting a burger on the side is perfect for two people. read more

This place is over priced. I ordered the chili cheese fries and they wanted to charge for Thousand Island, everywhere I been to they would give one out for free. The chili cheese fries were not that great and the price they charge is not worth it. I will not be going back here again. read more

This review is for the half chicken dinner that comes with fries, dinner rolls and onion rings... I can't speak for anything else in the menu but this was probably the worse chicken I've ever had.. dry and literally tasteless.. even adding salt didn't help.. this chicken had no seasoning and the fried skin part tasted like the oil was old. The fries were ok. Needed flavor or at least salt.. onion rings ok but also no flavor and dinner rolls had a weird taste which I decided not to finish because of how the rest of the food made me feel a little skeptical.. probably not coming back.. read more

Love this spot! The chili cheese fires are fire!!! The onion rings are huge and so crispy! I usually get a basic cheeseburger since the burger is so big and the portion size are pretty big as well. This place is a hidden gem in El Monte. It's a must try! read more

I totally recommend this place! As a kid I remember eating hamburgers, fries, and drinking an Orange Bang here. However, what I appreciate most about this place is that mom has been working here for over 30 years! Through illness, hardships, and all of life's challenges, she has faithfully provided friendly service. So if you stop by to get a bite, don't forget to thank LETY for her service and give her a nice tip :) I am sure she will give you a nice smile and humbly thank you in return. read more

We drove to Nick's burgers on a Friday night and arrived a little after 8:30pm. There were two people in line in front of us picking up their food. When we walked up to the window, the cashier gruffly told us that they were closed. I really don't appreciate the fact that she waited until we arrived at the window to inform us they were closed. I also don't appreciate the fact that their sign clearly states that the restaurant closes at 9:30pm. I will never visit this vile establishment again. The only good thing to come out of this encounter was that I was forced to go to Jim's burgers down on Valley and found the burgers at Jim's to be much much better than Nick's. read more

Good little burger joint. They have just about everything you might want to eat. The location isn't particularly convenient, but they have a lot of options on their menus. The food is good, especially their famous pastrami as well as their burgers, fried zucchini and they even have fried chicken. The eating area is pretty small, they about 8 tables. Good for takeout as well. Definitely a great little eatery. read more

Every time I have the opportunity to grab a lunch when I'm eating alone I always consider scarfing down a burger. But while I'm totally fine with most of the burgers that fast food chains offer, I have to admit that Nick's is one of the mom & pop places that I can easily succumb to. This joint has been here for a very long time and it has consistently produced the same quality for the 13 years that I've bought burgers from them. In all the years I've eaten here I've never bought a pastrami sandwich or a plate of fried chicken because I've become so attached to the burgers. If you bring a healthy appetite, you really can't go wrong with a double cheeseburger. The buns are toasted until they're slightly brown and crispy yet chewy (as opposed to crumbly) and the burger patties are quite large and tender with good juice. There's an aroma that you normally don't get from most fast food burgers. This place also lets you load up on chili peppers if you have a spice addiction. Now if you're really hungry, I bet you can inhale the burger and have an order of chili fries too. But be prepared to be stuffed because the portions are quite good. Between Nick's Burgers and a place like In N' Out, I'd actually pick Nick's. Why? The portions are bigger, the texture more tender, and the aroma of the burgers grabs you by the collar. I can eat so I feel somewhat cheated when I buy the smaller burgers at In N' Out. I also get turned off by the really long lines at In N' Out. In fact, I don't really understand the appeal of In N' Out. One reviewer mentioned food poisoning. I think he was just unlucky. It hasn't happened to me even once in all the years I've been there and I have a weak stomach. Another reviewer mentioned that one of the staff had an attitude. I didn't get a sense of an attitude myself. The cook doesn't appear that friendly but the cashier who has worked there for years seems friendly to me. I don't know. Maybe the reviewer had bad chemistry with the staff. I can understand how some people are hated at first sight but I was never hated at Nick's Burgers. read more

This place has been around FORever!!! It's your typical burger joint w/ everything on the menu. Been coming here since the early 90's... You will not find another place w/ better Fried Zucchini...hands down!! I always leave this place stuffed Hahahaha read more

Been going here for over 20 years. Food is always made fresh to order and great customer service. Love their onion rings and zucchini as the sides and the portion is HUGE!! read more

Awesome Burger Joint! While Nick's is known for their Burger Specials, I'm especially fond of their Chicken Dinner: 1/2 Fried Chicken, Fries, Onion Rings, Bread, and Cole Slaw. Come hungry because this place will fill you up. read more

The cheese fries are dankk!!! The cook from the evening shift always hooks it up . The ones in the morning mehh not really . Try it out !!

ok in order: Parking is ok, it has its own lot and is right next to a lighted 76 gas station, so not too bad. Wait for food-not too bad about 5-8 min max, even when medium busy, then if really really hopping, goes to about 10-15 min. FOOD-WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! I love their chicken dinner!!! I've been getting the chicken dinner from here with my boyfriend since we were 16 yrs, that's about 9 years of going there! Their fries are crispy and just right amount of salt. I also like their chili cheese fries, they practically smother the fries with cheese!! YUMMY!! The prices are typical of these joints, why complain if this is the normal price for this type of place? Jim's on Garvey is priced the same.. ANYWAY really good.. read more

I had the hamburger special. It came with fries and a soft drink ($5.75). It was fine, not a culinary orgasm. The menu includes hamburgers, Mexican food, and a few other items including fried chicken. The prices are average to slightly above I would say. It is clean on the inside. There are booths. You order at the counter and then pick it up yourself. The wash room is on the outside, which I found as a negative, but my associate dismissed it. Of note, I was put off by the crudely written sign on the soft drink dispenser stating that you are limited to one refill. Deal breaker. Free refills are and should be the industry standard. I would venture to say the failings of a business have never been directly attributed to a free refill policy and if asked could point out numerous other failings of this business that would come ahead of giving free refills on a list for the reasons of its failure (the artwork etc...). I am practically an expert. I do not anticipate a return visit. read more

My experience here was one for the books. I have never been to Nick's burgers, but found it through yelp. As I pulled in, I was excited to try a burger from a burger joint instead of one from a fast food place. The lady taking orders was so sweet and very time effective! The chefs really know what they are doing. Props to them! I ordered a cheeseburger and small fries and they were amazing. SO GOOD. I thought in n out had the best burgers, and boy was I wrong. This place's burger was one to beat. It had all the flavor and grilled taste I look for in a Dream burger. The fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just how it's supposed to be! The people there were just having a simple lunch, it's a pretty neighborly place! You can tell a lot of the people that come are regulars, and now I probably will be one too!! Love Nick's Burgers! 5 stars indeed! read more

This little place is really good. The prices are reasonable and staff is friendly. The place was well kept and clean. Will come back.

The food is great! The costumer service is amazing as well and just a very welcoming place in general :D

Second visit and I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt by coming twice before I wrote a review. First time customer service was so bad, second time I got the same treatment. Wanted something light for breakfast & they didn't even serve veggie friendly items. Wanted a nice veggie omelette but it seems like I was pulling teeth. The workers stood around as if I was gonna welcome them as I walked in, or greet them. Like uh, NO I am the customer you should want my money. This was the first stand I saw near my new place & I'm so disappointed. read more

Yum!! We stopped by based on the good reviews coming back from the reservoir. Great choice! Fast service. Loved the bacon burgers -we added avocado which was even better. Our daughter had the best grilled cheese ever seen -with bacon and avocado too. Tons of fries and the onion rings were plentiful and delicious!! Love tasting new surprises! Well deserved good reviews for this homestyle food!! read more
