I have been coming to Pitt Burger for 30 years, lived 2 doors down on 166th. And what's cool about Pitt Burger? The once cook 30 years ago, is now the owner and still cooking :) The food and taste is absolutely unreal. And I hope to keep coming for the next 30 years. #doublechickenplate

Always a good call when I get hungry. Teriyaki burgers and chili fries are a regular choice.

Pit Burger was delicious- teriyaki plate came with shredded lettuce topped with 1000 island and a pickle and a toasted bun. It was a lot of food for $13. Good sauce to chicken ratio and the chicken was tender and not dry. Waited about 15-20 minutes for my food so I second other reviews where they advise to call ahead.

Was in the area so wanted to try Pitburger since its been a Gardena staple for so long. Cash and take out only, ordered a single Teri Burger and waited for a bit. Wasnt dissapointed when i opened it up. The meat wasnt grissled, perfect ratio to meat and bun. Ample napkins since its a bit messy with the Teriyaki sauce and mayo melded together. Apart from the non emotional cashier and standing around outside on the street, id go again if in the area🤙🤙

Grew up in Gardena and Pitburger hasn't changed a bit - even the food. A hidden gem in Gardena. Teriyaki plate has been my go-to for over 40 years.

Ok. So cash only. Yup. We had to drive all over the place!! It was worth it. We got the Teriyaki Plate, one with chicken and one with beef. I snuck in an Orange Bang.

Every time I come to Los Angeles I have to come here to Pit Burger. It’s been over 3 years since I’ve had it and I’m so glad nothing has changed. The teriyaki chicken plate is my favorite and I always get extra toast. Make sure you hit the ATM. it’s cash only. This place is a cult classic for Gardena

Best price, juiciest burger spot!!! Great perfectly cooked fries. No table or outdoor seating. To go or in car eating only. Worth the drive!!

Some of the best teryaki i always feel great after ordering a chicken and beef combo but they forget my pickle every time make sure you make a reservation and bring cash

This place is really good. 1st time at this place. Have driven by this place many times. Menu is very simple. Plates are very generously portioned and sauced meat. You get a toasted hamburger bun as a sided bread it's good. Customer service was good as well. The hamburgers are good as well however the meat patties are thin Incase your a super meat lover you might want to add a patty or two. Will be returning.

Best burger 🍔 I've had most definitely bring friends and family to try. Unfortunately no diner to go only.

This place has been around since I was in Jr High. My go to is the Teri Beef and Rice. Sliced Teriyaki Beef over a bed of White Rice. The beef is cooked just right, tender and juicy and a teriyaki sauce is added as it cooks. Perfect!!!

Tery-Chicken! Onion rings are good too! But I would love it if they gave you a free peice of bread with every order. Burgers are awesome too. Real charbroil!

This long-standing establishment has been serving charbroiled teriyaki fast food for years, operating on a cash-only policy. While ordering is effortless, wait times can be extensive, given they have only 1 cook and one at the window taking orders. It’s food are flavorful with large portions but a place to visit once in a while.

I've been here 3 times so far. The first time I had the pitburger, it was at the end of the night and the steak was tender and the sandwich was covered In sauce. The last 2 times in the afternoon the steak is tough, and not much sauce. I guess some times or days are better than others

I saw this place while driving and saw a line waiting for their food, so I decided to give it a try.. Ì asked those in line, what was good there.. The answer was either the teriyaki bowl or plates, and the teriyaki burgers.. I got the teriyaki chicken bowl.. it looked and smelled great driving home.. After eating it, I didn’t understand the line of people waiting.. It was okay, but in my opinion, no big deal.. I’ll be honest, I did eat it ALL, and the serving size was BIG, so by no means was it bad.. To be fair though, I’m gonna have to try again, and see what I missed the first time..

Probably not the popular review, but my family ordered the teriyaki beef, combo, and chicken. The beef was super chewy and tough. Chicken seemed very dry. We were very excited to try this spot out but was disappointed 😞

Not true teriyaki. No flavor whatsoever, bland taste tough meat. Ordered (2) teriyaki combo plates and teriyaki burgers. Burger had tough meat as well, soggy and flat with that heavy duty mayonnaise. Order taker upsold on onion rings supposedly very delicious but not true. Can’t believe this place has so many stars. What a waste of $45 and our appetites!!!
