I forgot how good their burgers taste. The combo deal is a great price for what you get. $12.59 for the combo as of 5/6/25. Had their breakfast here before, and it's also a great deal. Great staff and service.

I recently visited Gold Star Humberger, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The burger patties were incredibly flavorful, with a delightful smoky taste that really made them stand out. You can tell they were grilled to perfection. The fries were also impressive: large, crispy, and very natural-tasting. I appreciated that they didn’t come pre-salted, allowing you to season them to your own taste, unlike many other places where fries are often oversalted. The customer service was exceptional. Even though we took some time deciding on our order, the staff were extremely patient and helpful, guiding us through our options. They also offer free banana peppers, which is a nice touch, although I passed on them since I’m not a fan of spicy food. What made the experience even cooler was being able to watch our order being prepared right in front of us. It added a nice touch of transparency and excitement. And I can't forget to mention how perfectly they cut the burger, it was absolutely spot on! Overall, a fantastic spot for great burgers and excellent service. Highly recommend it!

Great place for a quick bite to eat. I regularly order large quantities of their breakfast burritos for meetings. Happy faces and tummies when burritos are served. I enjoy coming here for consistently delicious food.

Came here for breakfast and had a sausage breakfast. It was basic but pretty good. The hash browns that they put inside were crispy. It could have used a little more cheese, but still a good burrito. There’s a good amount of parking available in a dedicated lot. There’s also a lot of seating. Bathrooms are located outside the restaurant.

I become here since the 90s with my grandma. It’s one of my favorite burger joints in Glendale. … so I ate the chicken sandwich with onion rings. It was really good had good flavor and the onion rings are still the same since the 90s nothing has changed. I love it. Keep up the good work guys.

Giving it 5 stars because it has everything I’m looking for: great food, classic interior and exterior aesthetic, good service, excellent prices, and giant portions. If you love classic American fast food or diner experience, this place is a must.

In the city where I worked for 34 years, Gold Star was my go to. Great menu with lots of varieties. The menu covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast burritos are top shelf and the Bacon avocado cheese burger and the pastrami are winners. Very friendly atmosphere. This may sound goofy, but their soda fountain is always spot on. The soda tastes almost like it's out of the bottle. Better than the fast food places soda fountains. You won't be disappointed.

Great freshly made burgers ALWAYS made to order and served hot right off the grill! The cooks care about the food presentation, because they ALWAYS serve the food nicely put together, wrapped, and clean. Their fries are also fantastic! And you can tell they change the oil frequently, because they are ALWAYS very clean, golden, crispy and picture perfect! The restaurant is also ALWAYS very clean. I've been coming for years because of the aforementioned comments, but also because it's locally owned. Well done everyone!
