Welcome to MGM Burgers, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Riverside, California. Located at 1691 Main St, this delightful hamburger restaurant stands out not only for its mouthwatering menu but also for its inviting atmosphere that makes every guest feel like family.

MGM Burgers specializes in classic American comfort food, with a menu that is sure to satisfy any craving. Their burgers are the star of the show, and as one enthusiastic customer, Rick Sierra, proclaimed, it’s “literally the best burger in California, if not the country.” The double cheeseburger, with its juicy beef patties and expertly crafted sauce, leaves an indelible mark on every taste bud.

If you’re in the mood for something different, the pastrami sandwiches are a must-try.

And for those who prefer a lighter option, MGM Burgers features a variety of burritos, including the tempting Ground Beef Burrito and the savory Carne Asada Burrito, each offering generous servings and vibrant flavors.

The atmosphere at MGM Burgers can be described as warm and welcoming, with a staff that truly values its customers. As Claudia Sambrano attests, “The food is soooo delicious.” The friendly bald gentleman who greets you upon entering—the owner, perhaps—adds a personal touch to your experience, making you feel at home from the moment you step through the door. Although there have been mild critiques regarding the drive-thru service, the overall positive ambiance and delectable food have garnered a loyal following among both locals and visitors.

Food is really good. Went through the drive thru and the person working the drive thru could have been friendlier. Maybe they were having a bad day. Will be back and see how it is.

Literally the best burger in California if not the country. Consistent with taste and full of real burger meat flavor! The double cheeseburger is the ultimate burger there and only there with that sauce perfectly made to match that bun and all the other ingredients. Prove me wrong! Go there and taste and let me know.

The pastrami here is amazing, unlike your average mom and pops burger going. That being said the pastrami sandwiches, burgers and quesadillas are great here, highly recommend this place.
