Located in Boyle Heights, George's Burger Stand serves up fresh, generously-portioned burgers and pastrami sandwiches, all made to order with local flair.
"The people behind run this historic walk-up burger spot in Boyle Heights. You can watch through the window as the kitchen prepares comfort classics like burgers, pastrami sandwiches, and onion rings, all made fresh to order. But while the old school setting and open-air patio are charming, none of the food here tastes quite as good as we want it to. Their breakfast burrito is surprisingly small and a little dry without the help of some housemade salsa. The chili cheese burger is massive and hearty, but relies too much on gooey cheese and not enough on seasoning. If you’re in the neighborhood and craving a quick burger, you should absolutely head here. But we might not recommend driving across town for this one." - Nikko Duren
"Treat it with the respect it deserves, and dig in to life-changing hot chicken, fresh bread drops, and museum-worthy bento boxes in its presence." - Eater Staff
"Boyle Heights is the heart of LA, with its deep cultural roots and proximity to Downtown and Chavez Ravine. Swing through for an afternoon pick-up that involves lots and lots of classic SoCal-style burgers from George’s (and maybe some chili fries for the ride home, too). George’s. 2311 Cesar Chavez Ave., Boyle Heights. —Farley Elliott" - Matthew Kang
"Fall is here in Los Angeles, and that means slightly chilly air and lots of Dodger Blue hanging around in Boyle Heights — especially at George’s, the remade classic burger stand run by Armando De La Torre, Jr. and Rob McCord." - Eater Staff
"Take George’s instead. The old burger and pastrami stand on Cesar Chavez Avenue, back in Boyle Heights, where the city’s burger/chili/burrito/pastrami restaurants movement all began. And it’s a gleaming example of a restaurant in a symbiotic relationship with the surrounding neighborhood." - Farley Elliott
