Good place to hang out and enjoy some great food. Has some tasty chili cheese fries. Had a bacon avocado cheeseburger and it was delicious (they never skimp on the toppings).

Killer menudo! Every time! Always consistent flavors. We also love other menu items! Burgers, onion rings, pancakes.. Been coming here for over 25yrs.. Of course price has to adjust with inflation. Although the stay reasonable; and the employees are always great! The owner as well takes much pride in this place. He even comes out to greet the guests. Atmosphere is perfect and stays clean.. Plus, a wall of whittier and sfs history is such a nice touch

I love this fancy fast food restaurant since Michael's Super Burgers has been around for 43 years when it first opened in 1981. It's got a timeline for the Whittier events like Back to the Future filming location at Whittier High School, the big earthquake in 1987, and so much more. Other than that, it's a nice place serving with Mexican meals, sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs.

I tried a lot of small burger joints but this is by far is the best independent burger place Highlights: great flavor, service is good, onion rings are a must Detailed review: first time coming here nothing really brought me to here just a recommendation from a local and was my best decision to go Burgers: I got a single bacon cheeseburger with avocado I can't say nothing bad about the burger it was fresh, tasty, seasoned well and good ratio for the price. Fries: I got the onion rings with ranch and they tasted really fresh and breaded very evenly. The breading was crunchy and savory not to salty and not too greasy just right Definitely coming back.

First time trying Michael's and really loved their onion rings and chicken nuggets. Me and my husband both agreed that the chicken nuggets were better than McDonald's nuggets and trust me I love McDonalds. Lol Their cheeseburger was alright. Meat was a little cold but it had a good flavor. Reminded me of Jim's burgers. I would come here again because they have a drive thru.

Great little spot to grab a bite to eat and get a cool history lesson. Pictures of the surrounding community throughout history. Nice and clean. Prices are good, healthy portions. Definitely coming back.
