★★★★★ We went here on our way back home (to the east coast) from Hawaii, so maybe we were especially starved for meat, but this place really hit the spot. I had the inferno burger, and my wife had a similar version of the chicken sandwich. We also ordered some food to go (Chicken wrap and nuggets) which was not quite as good but still acceptable. The total bill was surprisingly low (but then again, Hawaii). I would definitely recommend this place for the burgers. The service was good as well. Posted on April 24, 2013 |

|
★★★★★ We just finished lunch here ... very clean (including restrooms)! Friendly and comfortable atmosphere, and the food was AMAZING! The kids and I loved the hotdogs, tacos, and nacho plate while my husband enjoyed the ribeye steak (medium, cooked to perfection). Must visit! Posted on July 19, 2019 |
|
|
★★★★★ I had the regular cheeseburger. It was good. Restaurant is clean and service is friendly.
Definitely 5 Stars. Posted on April 5, 2018 |
|
|
★★★★★ Amazing burgers, fries, breakfast plates, and fajitas! You really can't go wrong here. There's also a great little halal meat market in the same building where you can get hard-to-find halal meat items (pepperoni! pastrami! roast beef! fajita meat!) Posted on April 2, 2018 |
|
|
★★★★★ Burger was good went with the Western as recommended below and was happy! Prices are good too Posted on December 27, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Great food at reasonable prices. The burgers are the best and we (from South Africa) came back 3 times in a week while visiting LA. Posted on September 18, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Finally a restaurant worth going to that is cheap and friendly! i love this place so much ive been here several times and had to come write a review because they deserve it.. nice service and amazing food! i had the spicy wings and the inferno burger just perfect! Posted on April 18, 2015 |

★★★★★ This place is just fantastic friendly service, good food, clean. the service made me feel like im at home and im talking to my family. the food was perfect and well cooked. and compared to other places this place has very cheap prices Posted on April 18, 2015 |
|
|
★★★★★ Huge portions!! Service was awesome!! I would recommend the Zinger Wrap.The Chicken Fajita itself is enough for 3. Posted on April 3, 2015 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ They don't care about customers very rude
This location is a lil better but the one in Anaheim is worst
Food quality was the reason I used to ignore their rude attitude. I visited the store several times, their food quality has deteriorated. I ordered the chicken shawarma and the bread was really hard ( this was not the first time)
Cheese burger dry
Fries well done almost burnt
Chicken sub bread again hard
Extra sauce cost $.81 for a portion which should cost free with order, if not no more then $.25
Consistency is lacking big time !!!
I am not going back gave too many chances Posted on March 15, 2015 |

★★★☆☆ The food and service both were just ok. We expected much more as the reviews were good. Posted on September 19, 2014 |

★★☆☆☆ This establishment over the years has changed customer service is not number 1 priority anymore . Also if you are Arab and not desi your given much more priority and receive you order amongst other patrons here more quickly. I understand this establishment is located in city of Bell in a neighborHOOD that is not so delightful to be around at night, but at least maintain the bathroom. The bathroom is in horrible condition and has graffiti in it even on the toilet seats; also they are not clean at all. Also ask where some of the meat is from (Reasturant Depot) if hand slaughter and or machine slaguther is an issue for you then you will need to confirm with establishment. I will not return at all to this establishment. There are other establishments that sell burgers all around LA; and the brother who own's this establishment should understand that and treat every muslim brother equally without any nationalism; Also please try keeping the reasturant up to date.

★☆☆☆☆ I went here during Ramadan for Sahoor got there at 3 o'clock . The Waitress took are orders at 3:15 we got are appetizers at 3:30 I thought everything was going good until about 4 o'clock none of are burgers came or nothing and we ask one of the workers there will are food be there on time for Sahoor he shrugged his shoulders and just kept walking. There were other people that came later that got there orders before us, and employees where eating right in front of us and smoking hookah idc if it was the owners son or nephew you dont eat in front of your customers when they are waiting for there food. Then it was 4:20 we still didnt get are food, finally got are food at 4:30 WOW we had to scarf the food down as sahoor was ending. NOBODY Came out and told us we might not have your food ready for Sahoor time or it might take a while the owner didnt even say sorry. THIS PLACE SUCKS EVERYBODY OVERHYPES IT FOOD IS NOTHING SPECIAL just more variety than other places. I WILL NEVER GO BACK Posted on August 17, 2013 |

★★★★★ The people are friendly and it is a family business. Loved the feeling of conference that I had while eating Halal food from trustworthy restaurant. Shisha oe Hoka or M3asel is served too. Posted on May 18, 2013 |

★★★★★ Salem guys very good four halal staff very friendly is family business

★★★★★ Came here for the first time while visiting. The place is nice and clean and the staff was friendly. They have a huge menu including American, Mediterranean and Mexican dishes. Tried their Fajitas dish which was very good. Posted on April 30, 2013 |
|
|
★★★★☆ I've been here a couple of times and the ladies working the restaurant are doing a great job. Massive respect for the halal business operations. The food was pretty good. It was a good 4.5/5 on the halal food scale and a 4/5 on an overall fast food joint scale. The portions are decent sized and definitely full you up. The burgers need some tuning to individual taste by adding condiments. The restaurant makes them good enough for everyone and allows individuals to adjust according to taste. I tries the Mexican menu and it was delicious. I tried their American foods and they were also good. The Mediterranean menu was also good.
I would definitely stop by here again as it was clean and just a great menu of options. I brought people that are non-Muslims and they enjoyed it as well on my last visit. Every time I have gone in there were people of all backgrounds there so that speaks volumes about the quality of food. They also have a wonderful patio to sit outside and eat and if you're into hookah, do that. Posted on April 12, 2013 |

|
★★★★☆ Went here while visiting the LA area. This is a family friendly restaurant. The chicken wings, inferno burger, Swiss burger, chili cheese fries, and hot dog are tasty and memorable. The menu is extensive and offers american, middle eastern, and mexican items. Owner is extremely friendly, and service is fast. Good service. Good food. I recommend. Posted on January 13, 2013 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Some of the best carne asada tacos! I have to say, I was impressed with their tacos. The pancakes my son ordered were horrible though, they tasted like onion, so I assume they had grilled onions and didn't wipe the grill down. The waitress/service was not that great as she forgot a few items that we ordered and the drinks also. I have to agree with all the others about the bad service. :( Posted on December 4, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★★ excellent food, great service and well priced. We ordered extra entrees as a takeout (it was that good!)
Halal as you get with Muslim staff and manager, nice location, ample parking. Definitely going to dine here one more time before we leave LA! Posted on November 23, 2012 |

NR Best Halal resturant in the US. Legendary Halal mexican menu Posted on June 8, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Good place for halal burgers. The portions are huge and although service is slightly slow, it is worth the wait.
I didnt like the nachos grande at all. Too heavy and soggy. (The burgers and side of wedges made up for this)
Had the baklava that I didn't quite like-it was okay. Tiramisu was yummy but slightly frozen. Posted on May 1, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Good atmosphere. good food. the patties were overcooked. I wonder if they make it per requested. Posted on February 14, 2012 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ Below reviews disappointed me. This place is not more than 3 out of 5. Posted on February 9, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★★ Nothing short of AMAZING FOOD! I was visiting California for 2 weeks with my cousins and went to World Famous Grill 3 times. Great restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Staff was amazing. Shout out to Stephanie and Yusef! Don't forget to try their delicious bacon cheeseburger! Posted on January 9, 2012 |
|
|
★★☆☆☆ Had dinner here a couple of months ago but forgot to review. After all the good things I'd heard about this place, and having been to the other location and enjoyed it, I was very disappointed with this location! The burger patties were overcooked to the point of being actually charred, and were in an odd triangular shape, rather than round! The service was not good, either. At one point, we could hear loud arguing in Spanish between one of the female servers and a member of the kitchen staff. This location is not as clean as the other one, either. We were really disappointed with the whole experience. Posted on January 8, 2012 |

★★★★★ Great food . Reasonable pricing. Friendly staff. Coffee and hookah place. Would like to see more stuff in the menu though Posted on January 1, 2012 |

★★★★★ The burger is so soooo delicious .... Posted on December 28, 2011 |
|
|
★★☆☆☆ Ive been to this place 4 times and each time I hope that the food will be good for the sake of supporting a muslim establishment but always leave dissapointed. Order bowl of chili, tastes like beef in broth. Then order crispy tacos and they used the same broth beef as taco filling hahaha come on guys at least try to be good. This is sad. I would not recommend spending money at this establishment until they get their act together and make food at least half descent. This is cheating and muslims shouldnt support it. My humble opinion. Posted on December 13, 2011 |

★★★★★ We had the pleasure of visiting this halal diner in Bell. Food was very delicious with wholesome portions and reasonable price. Customer service was top notch. They even provided us a place for salat. We really had a good time at World Famous Grill. Posted on October 10, 2011 |

★★★★★ this place is amazing! Posted on August 16, 2011 |

★★★☆☆ Salam
Ok so I went here a couple of times. The first time was great prices are great food is good. Then after that service was horrible. It was so bad that i had to go up to the counter to get my bill. But the owner is a nice guy, just needs more and better employees. Hopefully he can pick it up and business goes good, i will return when i am in the area. Posted on May 27, 2011 |

★★★★★ Okay, seriously, BEST BURGERS EVER!!!! I absolutely love this place!! First time I went, I had the Wall of Fame burger and finished the whole thing (took me an hour), but I got my picture on the wall of fame =)
Their meat is cooked beautifully and is very tender. Their ingredients are freshly prepared and you can taste the quality. My personal favorite is the Bacon Swiss Guacamole Burger, YUM!!! The halal bacon actually tastes fresh and NOT like you're biting into crispy hardwood.
The prices are reasonable, the place is very clean, and the staff is extra courteous. Word to the wise, the place is very popular, so you might have to wait a bit on Friday and Saturday nights, but the food is worth every minute!
My wife and I are definitely going back and our stomachs couldn't be happier. If you haven't been to World Famous, then you haven't lived!! =) Posted on May 7, 2011 |

★★★★☆ The food here is great. I love the chicken and burgers. Pricing is very reasonable. I've only gone a few times, but it was very good. I wish there were more places like this in Pittsburgh. Posted on January 31, 2011 |

★★★★★ Oh wow, i love this place,i go there like 3 times a week. The food is excellent, so many choices and the dessert is so good. Everything is fresh, and the waitresses are so kind. Service is fast and the hookas are amazing and the prices are not bad at all. And for the people with the bad comment about the service i think you people were just having a bad day i will never stop going there. Its like my second home me and my freinds are always kicking back there. Its a great place to hang out and eat have dessert smoke some hooka and watch the games .Its the best halal restrant i have ever been to. Posted on January 13, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★★ The food is definitely worth the wait! It is fresh, delicious, and prepared in a healthy way! the desserts are flavorful and some are made there by hand! I really enjoy going back time and again and recommend that everyone try this place. IF there is a wait to be seated its because the place is packed with families and customers who know where to find good food...and all HALAL! Posted on January 11, 2011 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ I came here many times with my family, the first couple visits were ok. Then time after time i come it gets worst and worst! the waitress was really disrespect full. I waited almost 10 minuets to get seated and 15 minuets for my order to be taken. I think that that day i went would be my last. Hopefully i could find another halal joint that me and my family can enjoy. Posted on January 9, 2011 |

★☆☆☆☆ As salam U Alikum
I went to Famous burger on today but I am very sorry to say there Service is going down badly I went with my 3 friends and had to go out and ask brother Ali to have somebody help us we had to wait like 30 minutes before Ali send us his nephew Yousuf to help us but he is a kid Owner really needs to hire more people not let kids take the customers order cuz he is still a kid and not knowing how to deal with the customer, our order came late he forgot to bring fries then we ask for refill for drinks he forgot I was very unhappy with the quality and service buffalo wings came cold, chicken burger cold also
Sorry but it was the fact Posted on January 4, 2011 |

★★☆☆☆ We went here over the weekend and what a disappointment... this was not the first time we've been...and we've always had good experiences... but this time was just poor service, short-staffed, and we left feeling neglected. It took about 30 minutes for the waitress to even come get our order.... our appetizer didnt come until we were finsihed with our burgers... we didn't get our drinks until 1/2way through the meal, and that was only because we went up to the counter TWICE to ask for the drinks. The owner was chatting it up with the girls in the next booth, not btohering to even ask how we were doing.... We love coming here for the food... but honestly, there are other up and coming Zabihah Halal Burger places that we can switch to if need be... especially if the service continues to be as poor as it was.

★★★★☆ I love this place!! I first tried their burgers at PakdayLa this year and I fell in love with them. I have been to the restaurant about 4 times now. They have a large variety of american foods that are really good and tasty. If your a halali, like me, then you will love this place. I really like their inferno burger. I once tried their meat pie which wasn't so good. But i also liked their corn dog too. The only thing i didn't like about this place was that serivce took forvever, but it was definetly worth it. Posted on December 14, 2010 |

|
★★★★☆ I like this place. the burgers are very good. Not to keen on some of the other diner & mexican style food. A little far from the freeways so it's quite a drive for me. Going their in the evening looks a little intimidating as it's not in the best part of town, that said I've never experienced any problems and I've been almost a dozen times. Posted on December 6, 2010 |

|
★★★★★ What can I say about the best hala American restaurant in LA … you mast try this incredible restaurant as soon as possible … Posted on September 28, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ Brothers and sisters...we have found a new home to satisfy our hunger and thirst!
My brother has been pleading with me to try the food at this establishment, however I live almost 40 miles away. Coming home from a business trip in Los Angeles, I decided to stop at Famous to open my fast. I can honestly tell you that if management allowed me to live at the restaurant, I would. I picked up some delicious faire for suhoor and was on my way. I would be more than happy to burn a tank of gas to eat at this establishment. May Allah grant the owners success, and may they feed us for many, many, many years to come. Posted on August 17, 2010 |

★★★★☆ World Famous Grill is a must for anybody visiting LA from out of town. The portions are very generous, the prices are reasonable, and the owners are friendly. Of course, I couldn't resist the Wall of Famer. Although it was huge, it was also very tasty. (I finished the burger, but they did not give me a plate on which to write a message for my wall picture. That is the only reason I am only giving the place four stars.) They did not skimp on the toppings or the quality of the buns, unlike a lot of other zabihah burger joints. Anyway, I washed it down with a chocolate milkshake, which was good but nothing to write home about. They have fries and other sides, which my friends liked but I did not try. If you're visiting LA, go here! Posted on August 12, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ The food here was excellent, as was the service
I ordered the 1/3 lb burger and it was excellent. We also ordered chicken wraps and drinks. ALL were fantastic.. The milkshakes were the best I've ever tasted. We visted this place twice Posted on August 3, 2010 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ Was in LA today so thought if trying this place because of the High rating. The service was great, and the place was nice too. I ordered chicken wings first, and they were quite delicious. Then I ordered the cheese bacon burger, sorry to say but it was tasteless and bad... Had bad nausea after eating it... My husband ate the famous burger, even he hated it. The place in brookhurst are much better than this. I feel sorry to write such bad review but that's the fact. This place is over rated :( Posted on July 23, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ love it love it Posted on April 30, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ I LOVE this place!! Price is excellent for such high quality food, and the staff is always very friendly. Every time I see the owner inside, he greets me. It is so hard to find a good halal burger, but this restaurant truly nails it. I just wish I lived closer...
5 Stars!!! Posted on April 27, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★☆ The Burgers here are awesome. The price and portion size is also great.
Advice: Stick to the Burgers, the other dishes though good aren't good enough. Posted on February 7, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ Had the 1lb "Famous" burger and loved it! Prices are fair and the quality is excellent. Everything about this place was amazing, including the fact that it was open late. Posted on January 9, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ amazing food! went here multiple times in one week since we craved their food. we tried the chicken wings, chili cheese fries, inferno burger, cheeseburger, swiss mushroom burger, chicken deluxe burger and guacamole burger. overall, their chili cheese fries are divine! all their burgers are really good- especially the beef ones. wings are good, but not to die for. reasonable prices, excellent decor, reasonable service- however, each time we have visited, they have never come to our table to offer drink refills. still, i can't get enough of their burgers and chili cheese fries. will go back again to try other items! Posted on December 2, 2009 |

★★★★★ I have been many times for a few years now. It's a great place for burgers and other types of food such as subs, mexican food, and chili cheese fries!
Here is what I have eaten:
Nachos Grande- The first time was the best nachos ever! But then for some reason the last two times I got it there was absolutely no flavor in the meat, it was bland! So make sure to tell them to flavor the meat if you order this.
Famous Burger- It is great and juicy and it comes as two sandwiches so you can save one for later to eat as dinner or next day lunch.
Bacon Cheese Deluxe- First food I ever ate there, the burger was great but the "halal" bacon was hard like a rock.
Chicken Club Deluxe: It is made from chicken breast and it was juicy, not dry. But again it came with the "halal" bacon that was really hard to eat, so ended up taking it out of the sandwich.
Inferno Burger Deluxe: This had pickled jalapenos in it that are eaten with nachos. It was good, but if you like spicy then I don't it's that spicy then.
Chicken Quesadilla: It is 1 huge tortilla folded in half and cut into 4 pieces, I loved it!
Chicken Wings Deluxe: I have gotten this the past few times now, I love the wings they are juicy and tender and the sauce is awesome!
Turkey Wrap- Cut in half, stuffed full of the meat that you pick. Like a lot of meat. The turkey sub is great when you are watching what you are eating since it has less fat.
Famous Tacos: Meat in soft-shells, it was delicious.
Turkey Sub, Chicken Sub, Steak Sub: Again as mentioned for the wraps, it is full of meat! The cheese was oozing out of the steak sub, it was great and comes with sauce for that sub.
Chili Cheese Dog: Excellent
Chili Cheese Fries: This is so great!!! I absolutely love it! Definitely try this when you go, this is my favorite on the menu.
Also if you can't sit and eat there then just call them and order to go and you can pick up your food. Usually takes 15-20 minutes for the food to be ready to pick up. Posted on November 7, 2009 |

★★★★☆ I used to go there all the time. Because I am usually busy, I like to pick up the food. When they are not busy the service is good. When they are busy the service can be really bad. One time I was ignored in the drive thru, with a manager type guy looking at me occassionally. He could have been just some guy standing behind the counter for all I know. I was there a full half hour after the time they told me my food would be ready. The waitresses looked at me while they were chatting and smiling and helping other people. It took them about 15 minutes before they even talked to me. and then another 10 minutes before they told me my food was coming. How long do I have to wait for a couple of burgers?? That manager looking guy eventually became considered and came and talked to me. I told him I have been waiting like an idiot for 30 minutes for my food and he didn't even apologize. I don't see myself going back unless I am forced to. The food was OK. It is definitely above average when you compare it to other halal restaurants. I usually don't get the dressing because they tend to pour too much. Posted on November 7, 2009 |

★★★★★ This place is incredible !!! The food is magnificently delicious ----I had the Mushroom Swiss Burger along with the barbecue chicken wings and it was perfect !!! The service is top of line----the staff is extremely friendly, warm, and kind is always there to cater to your needs and requests.

★★★★★ every one should try atleast once or twice or may be three times Posted on September 16, 2009 |
|
|
★★★★☆ This place closes at 4am that is right! They serve Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. The food they serve are pretty much Diner food, Mexican food, and a Hookah lounge outside. Overall the food is great especially the salads they are enormous and good for you. Besides the food. The ambiance and people are wonderful including the owner. Posted on August 18, 2009 |
|
|
★★★★★ I love this place, it's so fun. the decor is totally american, as is the menu, but in a good way! it's refreshing to see a menu like that and know that you can order ANYthing on it! if you're really hungry, go for the famous burger hall of fame!!! Posted on July 16, 2009 |

★★★★★ There are occasions in one's life when you stumble upon so something so monumental, so colossal, that the rest of your life is defined by that one irrevocable moment.
I sensed that Event was iminently approaching when I walked into Famous Hamburger for the first time. It swept over me when I took my first bite of the Deluxe burger and washed it down with Pepsi; it rendered me speechless and dizzy, and I fought back the tears welling up in my eyes. But I could contain myself no longer, and I put my head down on the table and wept. Years of pent up sorrow convulsed my limbs, and I know not how long I remained there crumpled, oblivious to the stares from all sides.
How good is the food? I struggle to find the words. I can say but this: the food is so good here, one must resist the urge to kill oneself afterward.
Alas, a HALAL place, so close to me. A Clean, well lighted halal place, with an abundance of seats, flat screen tv's...., in which a waiter seats you!!! HALAL!!! Not only that, it has an outdoor patio, and A DRIVE THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALAL DRIVE THROUGH!!!
OC residents, read this and weep; for the LA area has regained supremacy for the ultimate in Halal cuisine. Famous Hamburger has, in one fell swoop, laid waste to all those joints on Brookhurst Blvd and the rest that litter the OC landscape. OC residents, your reason to live there has ceased to exist.
May Allah reward the owners of Famous Burger and their lineage with the highest stations of Paradise. Ameen Posted on July 5, 2009 |

★★★★★ owner of this place is very nice and hard worker Posted on May 16, 2009 |

★★★★★ Not bad, I leave town for a while and SoCal props up a handful of good American halal restaurants. This happens to be one of them... I enjoyed the atmosphere and the attraction of good halal food along with hookah. The portions were extremely large, the owner and staff were very helpful and social, and the prices were great. Oh--- and the food was good too!. I would recommend the burgers and wings. I appreciate the fact that the owner chose a city that he grew up in and stuck to his roots! Posted on May 12, 2009 |

★★★★★ I visited LA in Jan and heard about this place so I had to check it out. It was awesome. I had their famous 1 pound burger ( if you finish it, they take your picture). It was so good I scarfed it down in 10 mins. I have to go back again. Posted on March 30, 2009 |

★★☆☆☆ Burger was okay. The beef bacon (halal) was extremely greasy. I have had much better burgers, in fact Gourmet Burgers in OC is so much better and prepared much neater. Customer service I had there was horrible, not welcomed at all. Posted on February 12, 2009 |

★★★★★ My family and I visited SoCal for a wedding a few days ago and we flew in late in the evening on Dec 24th, so we thought nothing would be open late. We were hungry thought we'd call Famous Hamburger and found out they stayed open until Midnight - it was fantastic! The burgers were delicious, and they give you a large helping of fries. We also had the hot wings - the best I've ever had. My son ordered the chicken nuggets from the kids menu and he loved them as well. We went twice during our weeklong trip to California and would definitely go again! Posted on January 6, 2009 |

★★★★★ I drove a little over an hour to try these halal burgers, and it was definitely worth it! Famous Hamburger is now, by far, one of my favorite places to eat. At various other places I've gone the service is not that great and the food could be better. But Famous has real waitresses, and amazing food. We were served by Jacky I believe her name was, sooo so nice! Very accommodating! I strongly recommend to request her service, very polite and so funny! The owner Ali personally greeted us, which is pretty rare, and was the nicest person! He literally said "Give them everything they need! If they're not happy, I'm not happy!" He was very welcoming! The whole place is great! They have a wonderful hookah bar outside and everything is very reasonably priced! Not only do they have burgers, they have chicken, hot dogs and even BACON!! Not pork beef! I had never had bacon before and it was great! I had the inferno burger with bacon! It was awesome! I was also surprised to find a Halal Mexican food menu! Next time I'm there i'm trying their Mexican food! Over all, nothing but positive things to say about Famous Hamburger!! Even the cook greeted me!! =) Posted on December 14, 2008 |

★★★★☆ This place has good seating area. The service is excellent, and the food is good. The famous burger is too big to handle. The wings are pretty good as well. Lots of items to choose from menu.

★★★★☆ The burgers were very good and there variety with them is awesome. The rest of the menu selection is great. Customer service was good too, and they're open late. I would definitely come back here and recommend it to anyone in the area. It's worth the drive from OC at least once! Posted on September 17, 2008 |

★★★★★ Hands down, awesome burgers. Juicy, big portions, menu has a huuuuge selection to choose from. I had a cheeseburger which was great. Next time I will definitely try their chicken sandwich...or the guacamole burger...or a steak sandwich :). Check this place out, you will LOVE it. Posted on September 16, 2008 |

★★★★★ I think this place is great mashaAllah. Its a nice, big, clean restaurant. The waitresses are the nicest I've had at like any restaurant. They gave us dates to break our fast which is very sweet. The burgers are delicious. Well cooked and flavorful. I had the bacon cheeseburger and tried some of the spicy burger I forgot the name. But the fries could be better, they didn't have much taste. Also the nachos weren't very good. Next time I'll try the chicken strips.
Also the neighborhood is pretty bad. I felt like I was in an episode of Cops. Posted on September 15, 2008 |

★★★★★ Great clean atmosphere. Awesome Menu - it has a big variety to choose from. Good food, even down to their cookies and shakes. Masha'Allah, overall a great restaurant! Insha'Allah, I hope this place stays around and maintains its current high standard for many years to come. Posted on September 9, 2008 |

★★★★☆ This is a nice burger joint with plenty of space, lots of menu options, and good customer service. The burger patty is thick, fairly juicy, and flavorful. The lettuce and dressing on the burger can be a bit sloppy. The fries were fine. While it was good overall, I was not overwhelmed as though this was the absolute best burger ever (even in terms of zabihah burgers). I may occasionally return to this restaurant but don't feel addicted to this place. Posted on July 29, 2008 |

★★★★★ WOW!! MASHALLAH!! We drove 45 mins to this place and on the way my husband said, "This is the first and last time I ever dive 45 mins for a burger" but after seeing the beautiful, large, new, clean, well-decorated restaurant & most importantly tasting the delicious food, I know we will be back!!

★★★★★ This is definitely the best Halal restaurant in Southern California!!! The burgers are SOO good, and the whole place has the quality (in terms of cleanliness, aesthetics, taste, etc.) or a non-Muslim place, which is rare! The waitress was SOO nice, they gave me a free t-shirt when I went, and the place is so clean and SOOOOOOO delicious! Posted on June 24, 2008 |

★★★★★ There are so many great things about this restaurant that I don't even know where to begin. The menu first of all has something for everyone, Insha Allah. The atmosphere is family friendly, in addition, it appears to be a halal "hangout" for young people. The service is GREAT! The owner, Ali, is easy going and approachable. He personally goes around to every table and asks is everything "ok." One day I ordered a steak and unfortunately they were sold out. Ali came to the table and assured me next time they would have steaks. Today; to my surprise, he remembered telling me this and personally made me a juicy, mouthwatering, and delicious steak on the house! How's that for service? Also, a major plus is that the place is always clean including the bathroom, alhumdulillah. Oh yeah, the portions are large and sometimes you'll need only one plate for two :). May Allah(swt) continue to bless Ali and his business, Insha Allah. All in all, I do believe that this is now my husband's and I new fav restaurant. Insha Allah, you all will enjoy this place as much as we do. Shukran Ali and staff for everything! :) Posted on June 7, 2008 |

★★★★★ I have always had "burger envy" when my friends went out and got their huge yummy specialty bugers, and I ate a fish sandwich. I drove an hour and a half to get to Famous Burger, and it was worth every cent of the $3.85/gallon I had paid at the pump.
The atmosphere is ammazing and professional. It is super clean, and the staff is so friendly, that you would think that they are still interviewing for the job!
The food, the food, the food. I ordered the massive 12" beef sandwich. It was stuffed with fresh beef, mushrooms and cheese. Their chili cheese fries are delicious and so plentiful that they could be an entire meal. They even had Chicken Nuggets the kids, and gave me CORRECT directions back to the freeway!
JAZAKALLAH! Posted on April 23, 2008 |

★★★★★ My experience at Famous Burgers was very very good. The burgers were spectacular, I tried the grilled mushroom burger and I loved it, but what I loved the most was the fact that they have many other options, like chili cheese hot dogs, chili cheese fries, Cheese Steak sub (which were both also very good and very fair prices), along with many many other items, even breakfast (those were the only ones I tried and all were great!!). Their cocktails and shakes also very fresh and fabulous. The food was fabulous but what I liked the most was the atmosphere, it's very clean and roomy and has televisions all around the restaurant so friends can go and catch a game, which is something we don't have here in the muslim community. Overall I loved everything about this place other then the location I wish it was closer to my house, but definately well worth the trip!!! Posted on April 12, 2008 |

★★★★★ I tried Famous Burgers Today. Simply AMAZING!!! The food was excellent and the portion size for a meal was more than enough to make any person full. Pricing is VERY generous, and the owner was a very kind gentleman. The atmosphere is great, with televisions on the wall to enjoy a great ball game. The service was quick and the restaurant was spacious and clean. I recommend Famous Burgers to all. Oh yeah, its a free WiFi spot as well!!! I'm sure with the help of Allah Famous Burgers is going to excel and become the best Halal Restaurant in Southern California. SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Posted on April 5, 2008 |
