Steve's — Restaurant in Torrance

I sometimes have the Steve's staff make me a full-on double char burger with chili cheese, extra tomatoes and pickles, large fries and one of their amazing REAL chocolate ice cream shakes. You can actually see one of the ladies scoop REAL chocolate ice cream out of the bin, and make you the real thing. I DO wish however that Steve's offered chocolate malted shakes, but they don't, and I don't know why. All you have to do is add malt powder and blend like they normally do. Malts are addictive!

Anyway, I have to admit that I have not had too many items off of their menu, except their breakfast burrito, which I always have them customize to suit my personal tastes and dietary needs. That's what's good about Steve's Char Burger. They will prepare the food the way I want it. Sometimes you have to pay extra, and sometimes you don't. It depends on what you are asking them to do. Sometimes I actually pay less. Like when I get a breakfast burrito and I ask for no cheese and no meat...then they deduct that from the original price.

Good food. Made to order...so be patient, good food takes a while to prepare. Always a smiling, friendly and helpful staff. (Don't forget to tip! I do...every time. We're all working class people. Right? A very CLEAN restaurant, the counters and dining area and in the food prep...

This restaurant has been one of my All-Time Favorite burger places to go to ever since it was built back in the 1970s when I remember riding a little BMX bicycle around in the large dirt pit that was dug there before the foundation for the restaurant itself was laid at that time and I was maybe seven or eight years old. I was just there today and I was Very Pleased to find that the quality of Burgers, Fries and Drinks is still among the Top Notch BEST to be found Anywhere! The management and employees of the restaurant are Very Courteous, Kind And Professional and provided Excellent Customer Service to me and as usual as well, the restaurant is kept Very Clean At All Times while serving GREAT food that I enjoyed VERY MUCH as I sat there eating this afternoon all at the same time! (Double Cheeseburger with Fries and a small Rootbeer). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant to Anyone who enjoys having EXCELLENT Burgers, French Fries, Drinks that are VERY Flavorful and NOT weak and watered down, and who also enjoys a variety of other types of sandwiches and food that they also offer here as well! 👍 This place is Just Plain YUMMY! They also even have a drive-thru for it as well making it Even More Convenient to get food there! 😀 All In All, a...

Steve’s is a place you come to when you aren’t looking for anything special; just something to fill your belly with average tasting but satisfying food.

The Good: Unless they are slammed at dinner time, your order comes up pretty fast, unless you are in the drive thru, then you will have a much longer wait. Second, I always leave here feeling full when I get a combo meal, which includes fries and a medium drink with your entree.

Over the years I’ve tried all the standards (chili dogs, tacos, and the different burgers), but nothing stands out except the Taco Burger, which is really good.

The Bad: The prices for certain items seem excessively high even in this current economy: 85 cents for a cheese slice on your burger, or $17.56 for a Pastrami Burger combo that’s made with a thin beef patty and a small amount of mediocre tasting pastrami.

Also, they don’t clean the tables and seats frequently enough. Expect to search around for a place to eat that isn’t sticky and greasy.

Steve’s isn’t bad, but it’s also not special. It’s a place to go when you need...
