Sometimes you don't want the Onion Jam, Fruit roll-up Ketchup or a half-blend of bacon in your burger. There are times when you just need an unpretentious, very simple, and quality burger. A&T Burgers in South Los Angeles certainly qualifies!
If you can make food in the hood of Los Angeles without being shot, you may very well have a quality product. This stands true at A&T Burger in South Central. The burger place has a 30 year history in the community, and the locals love it. It is a favorite to high school student at Locke High School, and the residence of the area. Simple and delicious.
A&T is on Imperial Highway at Avalon. I’d driven past it for years on the way to the 105 and always wanted to try it. The bacon cheeseburger is six bucks.
The patty is thin and charbroiled, the bacon is real crispy, and the Thousand Island and pickles add a little sweetness. They put the meat on top of the vegetables, so the juice runs down into them. Everything works together. It’s what McDonald’s would be if it could be something better.
I had an Orange Bang with it, basically whipped orange juice, and an enormous bag of fries, like a lunch truck on your work break. LA has a lot of these mom-and-pop spots, and this is one of the better ones I’ve had.
Some meals here are on me, some are hosted. Either way, it is disclosed and the score is mine. If this helped you decide where to eat, a coffee helps keep it going.
