Basket Burger Cafe — Restaurant in East Los Angeles

I recently visited Basket Burger Café and really enjoyed the experience. Parking can be a little tricky since it’s limited, but once you step inside, the charm of the place makes up for it. The restaurant is small, but in a good way—it feels cozy and welcoming. There are a few tables along the wall, a long counter with chairs where you can watch the kitchen in action, and a few more tables along the south wall.

The food here is delicious and freshly made, with that comforting, homemade feel. If they’re busy, be prepared to wait a bit, but trust me—it’s worth every minute. I loved my meal, and the standout dish I kept noticing was the teriyaki chicken and rice, which honestly looked like the star of the menu. I quickly wished I had ordered it myself!

My wife and I both enjoyed our food, and with tip we spent a little over $40, which felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.

From the atmosphere to the flavors, it’s clear this place has history. It appears to be family-owned and operated, and from what I’ve heard, they’ve been in business for over 40 years—which says a lot about their consistency and community support.

Overall, Basket Burger Café is a hidden gem worth checking out if you’re...

Recently stopped by on Saturday morning around 9 looking for a good breakfast spot near me (montebello resident). Was suprised how small the place was because it definitely looks bigger from the outside but the breakfast did not dissapoint. We waited about 10 minutes for a spot to open at the counte for me, my husband and daughter. Owner was friendly and welcoming. Ordered the breakfast combo that included pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. Pancakes were delicious. Hashbrowns were crispy on the outside just the way I like them. Its kind of on the pricier side but in todays economy everything is. I could have passed on the coffee, just regular coffee with plain creamer but not a deal breaker. Will definitely return when I dont want to drive to Jacks in Whittier or Jennys in Santa Fe Springs. Good decent breakfast from a small hole in the wall. For reference, counter sits about 10 and there are 2 tables that sit 4 and maybe 3 tables that sit 2. Try it out for yourself, go early to...

My Sister introduced me to this great little place some years ago and now I continue to go as often as I'm able.. Saturdays, mostly. This is a family run business and u can never go wrong here! I go for the (well portioned & delicious) breakfast of eggs, bacon, house potatoes and melt in your mouth pancakes, made to order fresh, right in front of you! My favorite things is that they make their own delicious salsa and they use REAL BUTTER! Big, big plus for me!! and they use the freshest ground beef to make the biggest hamburger patties (gota see and taste to believe!) I love that they are consistent, how they run the place and how they make their food. The place is tiny (wouldn't change it!), and it gets suuuper packed on Saturdays, but they manage it very, very well! But u gotta a wait a long while to get seated AND to get ur food, but u wont ve disappointed, it's so well worth it! The service is fast and pleasant and they remember u if u go back.. most ppl...
