What People Are Saying About Astro Burger

Featured Review

In Short – The neon Astro sign, clean chrome-and-plastic interior and handwritten wall menu conjure up images of Archie comics gone Hollywood. A vegetarian's fast-food haven, the menu offers an incredible array of meatless meals, from mock chicken-and-beef fajitas to saucy faux-riblets. And meat eaters can dress up their patties any way imaginable, from bacon- and cheese-smothered to Hawaiian-style, with mounds of grilled onions, pineapple and teriyaki. As a side, the crispy, salty steak fries go well with everything.

  1. Great food at a great price
  2. The best vegetarian fast food, hands down.
  3. So nice to have a burger joint that is friendly to veggies!
  4. The daily vegetarian greek specials listed next to the cash register are phenomenal, unique, delicious tasting and a better value (as well as healthier) than the regular menu if you're a big eater like me!
  5. The best fast food in town.
  6. worked at Paramount for years and I never had a bad meal at Astros.
  7. All the food is good and inexpensive and it takes only about four or five minutes to get your order.
  8. The vegennaise goes great with the Greek dishes while the soy cheese is great with the vegie burgers.
  9. They have tons o' weird veggie stuff too, like faux steak fajitas and veggie chili dogs.
  10. The fries are also very fresh tasting and always cooked to perfection.
  11. They have great burritos, and burgers, and so much else to choose from!
  12. pulled in, thinking it was the same chain as the one in W. Hollywood (which makes the BEST veggie burgers), and ordered what was probably about the saddest veggie burger I've ever had.
  13. have enjoyed burgers, turkey burgers & vegg.
  14. They don't have as many options as Orean in Pasadena, but their food is SOOOO good and fast.
  15. It's all good food!
  16. love the guacamole burger that you guys make.
  17. really like the burgers but have a friend who has really enjoyed their vegetarian options as wel.

Awesome veggie menu!!!

by natty1077 at Citysearch

If you like Gardenburgers, you HAVE to try their gardenburger deluxe, which comes with avocado (my personal favorite)! They have great burritos, and burgers, and so much else to choose from! Hummus, pizza and even breakfast! And you've got to love the drive-thru option! All reasonably priced!

The best vegetarian fast food, hands down.

by tikidoll78 at Citysearch

Astro Burger has been an LA favourite of mine since long before I moved here. We'd make sure we made it to Astro as many times as possible whenever we were in town and the enthusiasm for it has not died down.

It's very handy if you have vegetarians and meat eaters to accommodate. There's something for everything, and no-one is getting jibbed. It's all good food!

The vegetarian menu is astounding with possibly the best item being the meatless Chick'N Grill. I'm also a fan of the Maui veggie burger with a piece of pineapple in it. The fries are also very fresh tasting and always cooked to perfection.

I would suggest, however that you stay away from the pizza. I ate that once and it was below average. Other than that, you can't go wrong with Astro Burger!

The owner is a vegetarian, which is why I never feel I have to worry about my order getting mixed up there as I'm sure he strictly enforces the importance of getting it right and no contamination. So far, in the last five years I've never had a screw up.

Vegetarians, this ain't the place

by oliveirt at Citysearch

Not to be confused with the Astro Burger over on Santa Monica in West Hollywood. This place boasts an impressive veggie menu, that unfortunately doesn't deliver. I pulled in, thinking it was the same chain as the one in W. Hollywood (which makes the BEST veggie burgers), and ordered what was probably about the saddest veggie burger I've ever had. I really was sad when I took my first bite. I did, however, try a hamburger at another time and it was pretty good. But other things I've tried there were sub-par: the breakfast burrito and the chicken burrito aren't the greatest, and neither are the onion rings. So I guess just come here for the hamburgers.

Tasty Hamburger

by pyepeeler at Citysearch

I ate a hamburger (with extra onions) for the first time tonight at Astro Burger. I liked it.

Astro Burger's hamburgers are a lot better than Apple Pan's. And they're only $2.59.

  • Pros: Open Until 1 a.m., Drive-Thru, Cheap
  • Cons: Not 24 Hours

The Greek Daily Specials are a Must!

by Kind67 at Citysearch

I just love this place! As a vegetarian I appreciate the enormous vegetarian selection including even vegennaise (vegetarian mayonnaise) and soy cheese as accompaniments! The daily vegetarian greek specials listed next to the cash register are phenomenal, unique, delicious tasting and a better value (as well as healthier) than the regular menu if you're a big eater like me! The vegennaise goes great with the Greek dishes while the soy cheese is great with the vegie burgers. The greek cookies are fabulous as well! The more adventurous you are the more satisfying the meal is here! Enjoy!

  • Pros: friendly service, large vegetarian menu, daily Greek specials
  • Cons: not much parking, not open 24 hours, can be expensive
