Hungry Harold's

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best chili burgers anywhere — 30 years and still as good as day one. Nothing fancy, just amazing, consistent food every single time. A true local gem!

A good old fashion hamburger stand. A neighborhood institution with close to 50 years serving burgers, dogs and more. Portions are adequate and flavorful.

This place had so much history to so many. The best food for a kid after school!! A legend in our community🔥🔥 That pastrami was lit!! I was saddened to see the demolition sign, but happy to know that THEY MOVED ACROSS THE STREET 😊 The history of L.A. is disappearing 😭 atleast a lot of the landmark businesses that were around when I was growing up. I'm starting to take more pictures because change is here.

The food is "FIRE"! However, the portions are smaller than before. And, that's such a big deal because the prices are outrageous! Plus, the person at the window is rude and impatient. Back in the days, I used to eat here, several times per week. Now, only about once every few months, for the foregoing reasons.

This is my dad's favorite place! I tried the chili cheese fries, and the pastrami sandwich, the taste was authentic & delicious 😋 😍 But small portions 17$ I like the price$ I would buy again only thing I would ask for is it to be more crispy or more toasted when I order next time. Oh, and the cashier is very nice and kind. Thank you for the meal. God bless you.

This place never disappoints me. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and it is definitely yummy, especially the fried zucchini. The prices are reasonable. The place is clean and the people are very polite. I definitely recommend this place.

I am so glad I found Hungry Harold's. They have such great food at great prices. I really love their breakfast burritos there, the hash brown potatoes are home made and delicious. For the price, this place is unbeatable.

Really nice. The new place is way better and they food always tastes good.

I've been coming here my entire life and i'm VERY glad they're still open, they just moved across the street. Affordable, convenient, and delicious. my go-to order is the pastrami and egg with cheese for breakfast. Also, if you call in your order. THEY ACTUALLY MAKE IT. that isn't always a thing...

Its a sad day in the hood. I drove by here the other day and noticed a piece of paper in the window. So i came back to see what it was. Sure enough there is a demo permit in the window. Man im hurt, i grew up in this place with their breakfast sandwiches, burgers and chili cheese fries. This place is a hood staple. Ill definitely miss it. The lady inside was always really nice. Not to say that sometimes it cant be dangerous to come here but sometimes it was worth the risk. I hope to make it back again before they are gone.

Chilly cheese burger with chili cheese fries. Nothing really was wow just your a little above average chili, pattie was average, fries was good.

Hungry Harold's is a staple. IYKYK Their bacon cheeseburger are bomb. I like to order the chili cheese fries with pastrami added

It's not the same! This is only my 3rd time. They moved across thr street. The hamburger patty was AWFUL. it's frozen pattie, no seasoning AT ALL. CHEWY because it was probably frozen, so I am beyond disappointed. Fries were cold, like Luke warm. My fruit punch was watered down no ice. I was driving or I would have gotten ALL MY MONEY BACK. I can't believe I drove this far for this disappointment. Frozen, tasteless pattie did me IN!!!

My homie stayed right down the street. When his mom would make vegan meals we would dip to Harold's. We'd spend our change at Slauson donuts. Won't miss them, but glad to see they're in a spot across the street in Woody's lot.

Couldn't take a pic cause it was gone before you knew it! It has been a LONG time since i've had this place and was nervous given other reviews saying it was going out of business (?). But i'm here to tell you, ITS NOT. I ordered 1 cheeseburger combo, and one cheeseburger by itself (it was a long day). While the fries never withstood the test of time they did satisfy me (not crispy, under salted, still good to me). The two burger came out fairly quick, given there were no other customers. ONly about 5-6 minutes. They were fresh and i like the onions and other ingredients they used. The patty WASN'T a smash, but it was thick like a hockey puck. Great quality burger, glad I got two. My order came out to about $15, will be back. CALL IN YOUT ORDER!.

Today I took it back OLD school and had a taste for Hungry Harold's I don't know why because I haven't had it since I first moved out here from Chicago in the late 70's!! First I had to navigate through traffic from my house on Centinella and LaBrea to Crenshaw and Slauson which was definitely a mission dodging 5 o clock traffic, in a Monday, a hour before game 4 of a possible Laker playoff elimination playoff game! So the pastrami was a little from what I remembered I could've had 2 and I forgot they add chili it wasn't what I remembered and could've left this memory in the past, it wasn't bad it was just so so not what I'm used to having.

I used to come here when I was younger and the same items are served but management has changed... that means smaller portions and of course higher prices. I would usually go for their bacon and egg sandwich or their pastrami sandwich. I recommend driving up and looking at the menu IF you want to try it or have questions. If you call with questions, the asian woman that is usually there can be a bit rude over the phone. She does not like to provide information on prices or details or the menu. I love supporting small businesses because it keeps home in the neighborhood but sadly they lose sight of customer needs and only focus on the money.

I've driven by this place idk how many times but just never pulled in. Was in the mood for a pastrami sandwich, so I called in my order, asked to have my pastrami grilled and bread too. Let me just tell you it was amazing. Not a lot of places do grilled pastrami but it had the perfect amount of mustard & pickles..... the little peppers that came with it were so FIRE, had my tears flowing n nose running. Yummy shoe string fries with generous seasoning salt. Can't wait to go back and try something else. Hope you enjoy too.

Service was prompt and food was good. Good hidden gem. Ambiance was fine. Prices were fairly reasonable as well.

Need something tasty to eat if you're near Slauson and Crenshaw? Hungry Harold's is one of many places in the area that would be a good place to stop. If it's the morning, you can't go wrong with a breakfast burrito. Afternoon, there's always a chilidog, chili burger and/or chili fries. Friendly staff and it's easy to get in and out of. Ample parking and if you need something sweet, there's a donut shop across the parking lot. (not promoting them) Give it a try.

I've had many burgers across the United States and nothing beats Harold's. Glad to have been able to grow up eating some of the greatest burgers ever!

Inconsistent content and size of sandwiches. The breakfast and pastrami sandwiches are hit and miss as the meat, bacon, sausage etc. are so skimpy you barely can taste it. For the prices they charge they need to do better!

Freakin delicious!! Hot link and egg sandwich and strawberry soda is what's up! Community icon and loved restaurant. In the heart of South LA Crenshaw district.

This place is hit and miss. Occasionally gets orders wrong!! The wait might be a little long!!!! Overall food tastes good!!!

Definitely an LA staple for a reason! Get the patty melt! The fries were good too! I felt like I was eating a patty melt made in heaven. I f**'d my plate up!

This is the the breakfast burritos. I love their pastrami but the bacon breakfast burrito was not good. The bacon is ok I guess but there was barely any cheese, and the worst of all the hash brown was mush. Ugh I specifically asked for them to be crispy. They also didn't include salsa and the burrito really needed it. I'd never order this again.

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture! Swallowed two burritos within minutes. My dad even got a taste. He loves this stuff... To live for when you want to put on some winter weight or just visiting in Los Angeles Sir.

The food is very good my name is broham and everything is very affordable and good it's a must if your in the Crenshaw district

Omg what can I say everything is good the sausage eggs bacon potato and cheese breakfast burrito omg bomb the chili cheese dog fire the hot dogs they use are amazing been going here 4ever will continue to go

Best Chilling Cheese Fries in L A But the locals have taken over the parking lot so I suggest a delivery service. I feel bad for the owners They have been in our community over 25 years The locals should have more respect!!

If you want Consistency, hungry Harold's has been that for years! Can't go wrong with an egg sandwich, bacon , cheese; add tomato, and lettuce. Nice reasonable prices , excellent customer service. Five stars .

Breakfast sandwich with bacon eggs and cheese: Amazing! Patty Melt with grilled onions: Incredible! Chili cheese burger: Just Ok and very messy (as expected) Chili cheese fries: Smaller than expected and kind of soggy from the delivery

I come to Hungry Harold's at least twice a week for breakfast. Their breakfast is solid. I get the egg and cheese sandwich ($3.49) and breakfast burrito ($5.76) often. I have met a number of people who've been coming here for 30 years. The new owner, Susan, is fantastic. The pricing is extremely affordable. There is plenty of parking. If you want breakfast and you're in the area, this is a great, quick local spot. They are now available on Postmates and Grubhub. Order ahead by calling 323-299-1817

To the new owner: I been coming This establishment called- hungry Harold's since I was in High School way back in the 80s Way Before you came the 10th owner of hungry Harold Now on this day 9/4/2021. I went to hungry harold's and ordered my usual chili cheeseburger combo with A extra side of fries now here's the problem He put my extra thing of fries on top of my box and the fries fail off the box when I was walking to my car when I politely went back to him to let him know that my fries fail The owner told me that it's my problem in a soft manner voice but at the same time "NOT" given a fuck! instead of just giving me Some more Fries knowing that I paid my money to you, but it's OK you don't have to worry about me coming People of all color support your business and have for decades but by you being a new owner this is how you treat your customers you're gonna lose a lot of business.

So glad I was referred to this place by a LA native. Small "hole in a wall" local owned eatery. No thrills or frills just good food. I ordered the hot link breakfast burrito and it was bomb. I'm not sure what kind of tortilla was used but it was good. I've also heard their patty melts and burgers were good so I'll definitely come back!

Fantastic! We split a double cheeseburger with bacon. Delicious! It's good to have some real food without kale or Brussels sprouts or beets. Too bad we were in the neighborhood to pay respects to Nipsey though.

The Old Chinese men is so polite. The food is delicious and the prices are very good . I always get the BLT and the steak breakfast , tamale chili is deliciously well . My favorite breakfast spot !!!

I love the food at Hungry Harolds; nothing fancy, just consistently good! Chili cheese fries, patty melt, pastrami, chili cheese dog; all BOMB!Keep up the good work guys!!!

My friend from work told me about this place I stay around the corner and never went to it into my friend told me How good this place is i went and gave it a try...I got there breakfast sandwich bacon egg chesse omg love it the taste of it delicious...I try there fully loaded fries most try love it the place is not all that nice but can't complain there food delicious

Love coming here for the patty melts and fries for breakfast. Food is always good never disappointed. It's great to call in the order that way you don't have to wait . Only downside is people begging for money .

Been going here for idk how long, they have never let me down for breakfast, lunch or dinner always been ran by nice people. Love the improvements that have been happening!

Ended up here cause the other burger joint closed at 5pm. Glad we did. We ordered a bacon cheese burger, cheese burger and fries. Food was flavorful and fresh and the person who took our order was friendly. Cost was less than $20.

Love this place!!!! Food is always consistent and delicious. Don't live in the area anymore but it's a must stop whenever I'm in L.A

This place is amazing. Been in the neighborhood for years. Chili cheese fries and a burger, you'll leave happy

Ordered a pastrami sandwich taste good the bread was nice and soft. The reason for just 4 stars.......not enough pastrami meat for me, and the meat was a bit thin like shaved pastrami. Overall I see myself returning for a pastrami sandwich I need to ask for extra pastrami and order it with combo meal, otherwise I will stir be hungry. Give it a try, just ask for extra pastrami otherwise you might be disappointed trust me "IT'S NOT ENOUGH PASTRAMI"!

My boyfriend loves Hungry Harold's pastrami and this time was no different. As for me it was ok I just always find that it is too dry for me. It never has enough condiments for me but it's ok eating

Classic fast food joint that's been here for ages. If you are an LA native, specifically Crenshaw District, then you have been here numerous of times. They are good for breakfast but of course you can grab a good bacon cheeseburger. It was just right I left a review since I'm here.

I can't lie, when I first saw this place I was scared to try it because I went to other spots around the neighborhood (not naming any names) and had bad experiences including food poisoning! But not here folks, I was surprised with excellent customer service, great prices and man do these guys know how to cook an egg! Don't judge a book by its cover. Why would you ever go to McDonald's for breakfast when for much less you can get a gourmet breakfast sandwich and OJ. Tip: You can always do the Slauson / Harold's special and grab some crumb donuts across the way and use them as buns.

Don't worry about how this place looks on the outside! The food is good & the service is fast! I usually stop by and grab their patty melt breakfast sandwich and add bacon. SO good! The French fries & hash-browns are both just OK. (I'm a French fry connoisseur & the fries could use some more seasoning. Or at least salt & pepper) I asked for more season salt. I veered away from the breakfast menu once & was disappointed so do it with caution. My roommate swears by their grilled cheese, lettuce & tomato! It's close by so I'm here often.

Little hole in the wall with very good pastrami sandwiches. Will definitely be going back.

Always great! A real hot link sandwich not a polish sausage and yes people there is a huge difference!

Pastrami sandwich and fries pretty tasty. They're not as large as other places so if you're really hungry you may want two. Double cheeseburgers are good. One thing to keep in mind Closed on Sunday.

The most delicious breakfast sandwich is the bacon and sausage egg and cheese with mayo and tomato!!!!!! I love!!!!!

Get any breakfast "samich" on wheat bread and start your day the right way! Also, there's something so delicious about their Strawberry Soda...Been going here for years

Don't sleep on this hood spot!!!! The breakfast burrito is awesome. So are the chilli cheese fries. I come here a few times a week for my hood food fix!!

I got the patty melt with chili cheese fries with bacon, onion, and sour cream. It was soooo good! I'm definitely going back.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MF'N PLACES I will forever recommend this as I was a teen I remember eating here
