Steven's Burgers
Inside Steven's Burgers
Steven's Burgers in Gardena is a straightforward spot for grabbing hearty fast food with a local twist, especially if you’re craving a heavy, meat-packed meal. This no-frills joint doesn’t offer seating, so it’s clear that it’s designed for takeout or quick stops—either to eat in your car, at home, or outdoors if you don’t mind a parking lot picnic vibe.
The atmosphere here is very much what you’d expect from a classic burger stand: a small, somewhat bare waiting area behind a service window, with friendly staff who keep things moving. They only take cash or card (no delivery yet), which feels old-school but keeps the speed efficient. The place can feel pretty quiet and utilitarian, without much of a decor lift or table service, so it's less about hanging out and more about fueling up.
What stands out are the menu items loaded with pastrami—it's the real draw and clearly a local favorite. The chili cheese pastrami fries are a signature item that lands heavy on meat and cheese, making it a filling choice for anyone with a solid appetite. Burgers range from basic cheeseburgers to a "colossal" burger, solidly priced for the portion sizes. The breakfast burritos, especially those with polish sausage, get repeated nods for their spicy kick and substantial fillings, hinting that morning visits can work well for folks looking for a savory start to the day.
This spot suits those looking for a practical, meat-forward fast food fix rather than a sit-down experience. It’s especially good for locals familiar with the neighborhood who appreciate dense, satisfying pastrami sandwiches and shareable sides like chili cheese fries. Visiting during quieter daytime hours might make for a smoother pickup experience, especially since it’s primarily built around to-go orders.
