The Burger Boys — Restaurant in San Bernardino

Update 7/10/25: We used to be able to feed a family of four for about $50. I understand prices and supplies have gone up, but now we are spending $80 on a family of four and the quality has dropped immensely. I have no problem paying good money for good food. This is longer food I crave (besides the sloppy fries). I bought just a chorizo burrito recently and paid over $12. Good size, but barely any chorizo, unseasoned eggs and bland overall. It's just not the same as it was before. This has been our local spot for awhile, but it's obvious they are struggling and starting to cut corners. The food is just bland and doesn't feel worth the money anymore. Hopefully, they can figure it out because they really do have some great food options here (sloppy fries and California chicken club are🔥). It feels like a business doing what they have to do to stay open, but with the quality and value taking a large hit, it's giving me reasons to eat somewhere else. Again, if the food is good, I don't mind paying a premium for it. When I can do better at home, I'll just eat at home.

Old review: Fresh and hearty food without all the fluff. This place is close to my house and has been on my list for too long. I pulled up, it's situated in a dated shopping center that has likely seen better days, but this place is definitely a beacon. Walking in, you see the menu plastered on the wall to your left and a small counter surrounded by tables, chairs and some TV's. You see these kind of local places around Socal alot and they typically offer fresh food at good prices and you can get in and out of there quick. This place fits into that groove nicely. Staff was friendly and helpful and gave me good recommendations. I waited maybe 4-5 minutes to get my Pastrami Burger and Onion Rings to go and raced home. The smell of the onion rings thought me back to Oklahoma where I grew up on Sonic's onion rings long before the commercialism hurt the brand's quality. These onion rings reminded me of that. Smelled outstanding, crunchy, slightly sweet and crispy. Went great with their homemade "the good" ranch (iykyk). The patty on the burger was not the star of the show, which is something I'm used to seeing in the Midwest where the patty gets all the attention. Here, it's a part of the bigger picture. Everything's well balanced, fresh, covered in salty and fatty pastrami bits and crisp veggies. It was really tasty. This will likely be a place we visit often as it's close, inexpensive and the quality is solid. They offer family meal packages and breakfast all day. I'm going to settle on 4 stars for the time being, but I will go back and try the breakfast and some of the burritos to get a real sense of how good this place is. So far, this place gives you a big bang for your buck with freshness and quality never far behind the value. Check it out!

Update 11/9/24 This place gets 5 stars. It's my local place and it's consistently fresh over and over, fast and the staff is great. It's not a 5 star restaurant by any means, but for hot, fresh food and big portions and great service, this place kills...

THIS REVIEW WAS WRITEN THE FIRST PATTIMELT I ORDERED. I WENT BACK RECENTLY TO TREAT MYSELF, AND HAD THE TOTAL OPPOSITE EXPERIENCE. THE PATTIMELT WAS SO GREASY I HAD TO HOLD IT WITH A NAPKIN. THEN, I HAD TO OPEN IT TO SEE IF THEY FORHOT THE ONIONS. INSTEAD OF LOVELY GRILLED CURLS OF SWEET ONIONS , I FOUND A SPRINKLING OF JUST A FEW CHOPPED ONIONS. IT WAS SO DISAPOUNTING I TOSSED IT AND AND MADE A PB&J FOR DINNER. SENIOR CITIZENS CAN'T AFFORD TO THROW $10 OUT THE WINDOW. I WON'T ORDER A THIRD. TOO BAD THEY CANT BE CONSISTENT.

Delicious Patty Melt! I can't wait to try more. They have a Monte Cristo on the menu I inquired about. She said it comes out crispy, but may get soggy on the way home. Definitely an eat in item. They have drive thru, but I wanted to be able to ask questions, so I went inside. Being handicapped, I found the door too heavy to get in with my walker. If dining in, both booths and combo tables, with chairs, are available. Seats look padded. Self serve Pepsi and sodas, but there was NO ice and the Pepsi spit all over me, out of syrup. That was frustrating and can ruin the dining experience. I ordered the Patty Melt, cooked to perfection. Tender meat, juicy sweet onions, grilled perfectly. Good indicator of future quality. I will go back...

We went through the drive-thru but next time I would order inside. It's really hard to understand what they're saying and it's hard for them to understand what you're saying on the speaker that they have. We got the bacon cheeseburger and a pastrami sandwich and of course sloppy fries. The bacon cheeseburger had thick cut juicy bacon on a well done large sized hamburger patty with plenty of sauce and the bun was moist. All around good flavor and texture. The pastrami sandwich was piled high with meat on a moist bun that was not soggy with mustard and pickles. You got to get the sloppy fries they were covered in Thousand Island cheese and grilled onions. Then I went back another time and got a beef gyro and chili cheese fries. I really like the beef gyro and had good flavor and the bread it was on was soft and fresh. The chili cheese fries were a little spicy and the serving is huge. I would definitely go back and try something else and recommend it. Maybe someone can let me know whether or not they were playing the movie Grease on a loop or if it was...
