Mama's Snack Shack — Restaurant in Compton

First time here today. Got a cheeseburger with most of the fixings and a chili cheese dog with a couple items as well.

The burger patty was well seasoned. A tad dry though. All the ingredients worked excellent together. I’ll see if they can leave it a bit pink next time to overcome this. I can see why though, as most people probably see pink inside and think it’s not properly cooked and just prefer it cooked thoroughly.

The chili cheese dog was great. I wasn’t expecting a hot link instead of a regular beef dog but I’m not complaining since it was just as good maybe better. The chili was good. They did load it up, I was able to use some on my burger. Overall the food was delicious. “Mama” was very nice and the service she provided was excellent. I’ll be back to try some of their pastrami chili...

Mama’s Snack Shak – Compton’s Hidden Burger Gem

I’d been promising my neighbor a great burger for a while, and when Mama’s Snack Shak popped up on my TikTok feed, I knew it was fate. Tucked away on Long Beach Blvd, this tiny walk-up spot serves up burgers that are anything but small. Juicy, flavorful, and stacked with love—every bite felt like a hug from Mama herself.

The vibe is pure Compton soul: no frills, just real food made with heart. My neighbor couldn’t stop raving, and honestly, neither could I. From the homemade chili to the secret seasoning and that signature hot pepper relish, you can taste the passion in every layer.

If you’re craving a burger that hits different, Mama’s is the move. Just don’t be surprised if you start recommending it to...

Okay first time here. My daughter thought we should check it out. I googled best burgers in compton. And there's Mamas kitchen 4.8. Which is 5 for me. And yet she is. Her service and warm welcoming to new customers. And a forever customer now. Go get a homemade turkey burger. The wait wasn't long either. I got the some chili cheese fries and a turkey burger. Great prices as well. I didn't get a chance to take photos. We tore it up to fast. Juicy and season patty with relish added. Was different but really good. And the chili on them fries. Is the business. See...
