American Burger

What a good value in today's market. Fries are perfect and the burgers are so good. Go there and be amazed! So many choices that are so good.

Just ate here and the vibes were honestly really good. Super quiet and chill, no wait for a table at all. It felt homey and relaxing, like the kind of spot you wanna hang out in for a while? Service was great. Super friendly and fast. Food was solid—had a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. Classic diner-style food, nothing fancy but definitely hit the spot! I 100% will order the chili cheese fries TWICE next time they were bomb!! About $20 per person. Worth it for the atmosphere and how easy going everything was. Would come back for sure if I’m in the area again with my family.

This place is the place to go and hangout with family and friends. It's cozy, and has many things to do. There is a reading corner with books, you can play loteria, and even listen to cassettes. The service was great and the food is really good as well. They brought the check in a CD case so it was really cool.

It was a quite and nice diner. Had lots of interesting and retro decor With cassette tapes and old timey vibes. Food was really good. We ordered burgers and fish & chips. Good price. The fried foods (fish and fries) were really well done, not oily and gross. It's near the aquarium but has its own parking so you don't have to worry about fighting for a parking space.

First time at this place. We were super hungry and ended up here. Checking to yelp and claimed the free strawberry milkshake, which was super awesome. Had chicken French roll and veggie burger both were great. Upgraded the fries to seasoned fries which was freshly made. The guy was super awesome and the whole place gave us a traditional feel.

A truly hidden gem. We picked it almost by random and were unsure of our choice from the outside. As soon as we entered the front doors, we knew it was a great choice. The burgers were great and they offered a wide variety of burgers. I always put peanut butter on my hamburgers and was delighted to find the "Call Me Crazy" burger on the menu. A burger with jack cheese, peanut butter, grilled onions and jalapeños... delicious! The atmosphere was awesome. Iconic musicians and entertainers, guitars, 50's, retro, big comfy living room chairs at the tables, books, and games available.

Cute diner you go up and order and pay at the end at the counter. Kid friendly had board games where the littles could play while waiting. Great prices as well.

The place looks reminds me of an American classic burger joint. We ordered 2 classic burger seasoned fries and one regular fries, a lettuce wrapped burger with onion rings. The place was clean friendly and delicious.!

Cozy, atmospheric place, especially if you're fan of 70s-80s. Food quality is great.

Such a cute place. I've had the burger before and it was very juicy and tasty. Today i tried the pupusas. They were so delicious. Imagine fresh tortilla dough filled with cheese and delicious chicharrón. Also he added a side of cabbage slaw and salsa on the side👍 Tastes just like my familys back home🤩 will definitely be back for more.

Great experience. Came for the first time and burger was perfect. Aesthetics of the place are the best will definitely come back.

The food was pretty good, the service was definitely great. The atmosphere was pretty good. Overall would come back again. The burger was super hot and fresh tasting, and the grilled cheese was just ok, not really worth the $9. Peanutbutter milkshake is delicious. Will come back just for one of those.

Super friendly staff, decent burgers, great location. Recommend eating there...like most burger joints, takeout was not great, due to soggy fries, but we'll give it another try, when we have time to eat there. Everything was very flavorful and made to order. Definitely a quality place.

The burger and steak fries were good. I also ordered onion rings which were good. I tried a pupusa, but its not my thing. However my wife liked it. Very friendly people. I can't give five stars because the location (inside) can be improved and a little bit cleaner. Also, it's a little bit over priced for some things.

The food was good, burger meat was a little cooked more than I'd like but ultimately it was very tasty! The vibe inside the place was nice, very nice and relaxing.

Good diner style thick burgers and fries. Classic theme decor. They have live music on some evenings. Its just a couple blocks walk from cannery row. There are a few tables indoor and a maybe 3 outdoors with a sun umbrella. Soda are sold by the can. They do offer Coke products. Order at the counter and wait to be served. When done, don't forget to go back to the counter to pay. There is a small parking lot that can fill up quick so maybe better to find street parking.

Simple burger spot. I highly recommend the pupusa, we got one out of curiosity and it tasted like someone’s abuelita hands made them! Fun decor! Parking was hard, but you can’t find easy parking anywhere in Monterey any way.

Well rounded place! Burgers are better than Red Robin. If you've had Colorado Grill, it's comparable to that. Food was tasty! Burgers were juicy but not dripping grease. Our picky toddlers even approved. They have canned sodas instead of a fountain, and that was such a nice touch to have an ice cold can of soda along side the burger. Staff are polite and welcoming. And the retro vibe inside kept us entertained the entire time, as we kept finding new details to look at!

Had their pupusas. Great flavor however they have little to no stuffing. About an 1 oz of pork no cheese at all.

American Burger was very ok. We got grilled cheese and a veggie burger. It tasted ok and was a little greasy. The server never refilled our drinks or generally looked our way. The decor is fun though and they have comfy chairs.

While the grilled chicken sandwiches were okay (they had some kind of spices on them that took away from the grilled flavor of the chicken), we were disappointed that one can't order a sandwich by itself. One has to pay more for something they don't want. We don't eat a lot of fried foods and if one has to order it with a side, it would be nice to have a healthier option like a salad or coleslaw. The burgers and sandwiches served here come with fries or for an additional amount, can be ordered with sweet potato fries or onion rings. The sweet potato fries were at least good, but the onion rings were HORRIBLE! They tasted like processed frozen rings that were heated up.
