For $5.99 this place offers up a decent turkey burger combo. Their turkey burger is better than fatburger's and it's cheaper. So the only thing I would complain about is their parking. It's too small. Just swing by and try their turkey burger. read more

My brother and I used to be regulars here growing up so I came in Saturday for a lil nostalgia, I remembered the turkey burgers being much much more flavorful, juicy and bigger back in the day. It was okay and much better pricing on the burger than fat burger down the street but I probably wouldn't frequent the place, maybe they've changed owners or something but the food just wasn't the same read more

Get the turkey burgers and don't forget to ask for a wheat bun and if you're really hungry get the big turkey well especially for men with big appetites. Turkey burger with cheese , grilled onions on a wheat bun is the best item on the menu. read more

Wow! Awesome burgers! I've had the pleasure of finding this place on yelp a few days ago and it was everything the reviews have said about it. The Turkey burger is really tasty, but I found the regular burgers to be the real winners here. The first time I went to big burger I went with the Turkey burger, with all the fixings. It was juicy and full of flavor, but it wasn't the best turkey burger I've had. Regardless, it was a solid burger and something I would definitely get again in the future. Today I had a chance to check out another item on the menu: the Big double, a 2/3 lb burger, once again with all the fixings. This was an fantastic burger, juicy, well cooked, fresh ingredients, and the home-style touch, made to order. Both burgers come with the option for everything on it, this I highly recommend and in my opinion it's that relish like chopped pickles that really give it that signature taste that makes me want to go back and order more burgers from here. If you're looking for a good quality burger in this area, this may be your spot! By the way, this is a small operation, so don't be surprised with what it looks like. The decor inside is a bit run down and it's not in the safest or cleanest neighborhood. I recommend either calling ahead or taking things to-go; the dining room seats and table are not that welcoming. read more

Phoned in order. I ordered a total of 4 burgers and I was told the order would be ready in 10 minutes. By the time I arrived they had my order bagged and ready to go! No complaints there! The burger was amazing! Great flavor, meat was very juicy. A little disappointed with the fries, they were very bland, but that's nothing a little ketchup can't fix. Definitely recommend, and we will be returning! read more

The burger niche in LA is saturated with big competition. However this small mom and pop from Carson can stand toe-to-toe with some of the bigger chains. Big Burger serves up a juicy bite from start to finish. One of my favorite places to stop and grab a bite to eat when I am in Carson. Not to mention I'm not a big fan of Turkey burger but the Turkey burger here is very tasty. Your taste buds will be tingling for Big Burger for days. read more

On top of that, the burger tasted stale, like it had been sitting out for quite a while instead of being made fresh. The fries were also cold and stale, which made the meal even more disappointing. Overall, the food quality was poor, and my order wasn't prepared correctly. I expected a fresh meal and better attention to my request, but unfortunately, this visit did not meet those expectations. I will never be ordering from them again.

Their burgers are pretty good, although I feel they were even better in the past. I used to go to their Lomita location (which has since become a different restaurant), and I remember the burgers being served on brioche buns that really stood out in taste. I'm a big fan of fresh-made burgers rather than fast-food style places, and I don't mind paying a bit more for something made fresh. Their menu has great options overall, and the lunch box is a solid value for the price. The homemade onion rings are especially good. The only issue I consistently have with this location is the fries. I've never received crispy fries here. There is now an option to request "crispy / well-done" fries when ordering online, but it doesn't apply to all menu items, and it still doesn't seem consistent. What I usually receive are soft, oily fries that end up tasting more like steamed potatoes, which I personally can't enjoy. I don't think most people would prefer fries served that way over crispy ones, so I really hope they can improve on this part of the menu.

If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up.
