My BF and his family have been coming here for years! We come at least once before leaving back to Vegas. This is exactly what you think of an old school burger joint is, it’s nice and homey and they seem to cater to you as best as they can. I had the bacon cheeseburger special and I add a fried egg- AMAZING!! I did have this twice this weekend and I tried the onion rings for the first time, I didn’t like those at all, but their regular fries are DELICIOUS especially fresh. They get the classic which is just as good. Only thing I don’t like is how thick the tomatoes and pickles are cut, that’s it!!

Awesome prices! You know this place is an authentic gem because of the amount of regulars who show up. The staff is very friendly and they always treat their guests with much respect and admiration. I’ve tried their cheeseburgers and their chicken fried steak sandwich. Cannot complain about this place because of the prices and the quick and friendly staff! The drive through looks busy all the time so I stop by and sit inside! I would say the fries are seasoned with extra seasoning which makes them scrumptious. The charbroil on the burger is sensational as well. Keep it up guys and thanks for helping your community by keeping prices attainable for all walks of life. Go Chris!!

Heard a lot about Chris's Burgers and saw some videos as well. So I had to come try it. I wasn't disappointed, the chili cheese fries were very good, seasoned just right. The chili was it's very tasty. The pastrami sandwich with extra mustard was great! The pastrami was seasoned and tender and the bread was fresh. The peppers were juicy and they give you a good amount too. Overall, very happy with the meal, will definitely be coming back. This is a must try!

Ordered bacon cheeseburger and fresh onion rings to go. A lady returned her onion rings and stated they were stale. The server packages those same onion rings the lady returned and served them to me. I asked for a refund, she did offer to make me the fresh onion rings. I had no more time to wait.

For as much foot traffic as this burger joint has, I was very impressed with the speed and service. It must be a favorite for the locals because the parking lot and restaurant inside were packed! Their onion rings and burgers were some of the best I’ve had. Great food, excellent customer service and I will be back! Kudos to management for the staff they picked that did so well at juggling the crowd while still remembering the little things like condiments and napkins.
