“Cliffs Old Fashioned Hamburgers.. where has this place been all my life?”

Sara's full firsthand review

Cliffs Old Fashioned Hamburgers.. where has this place been all my life? Thank you to Mike M. for introducing it to me! I was just here over the past weekend that went by.. & had the opportunity to meet my fellow Yelpers. Had a grand ol' time and enjoyed burgers in good company. Upon entering the burger dive.. there was a friendly old man inside the place who said its probably older than my mom. Maybe. I felt like I was transported back to the good old days. Didn't feel like eating beef as I had eaten it a few times during the week so I opted for a chicken sandwich. This native California girl specifically chose the California chicken sandwich.. & let me tell you.. it was good! Its a popular item and a safe bet with so many selections on the menu. Food took quite some time to arrive.. but the weather was lovely and so many people were seated inside and outside the restaurant. Its plain to see how popular this burger joint is.. all kinds of folk were there on a Saturday afternoon. The folk running the restaurant are super friendly and kind.. we were delivered some of the best service.. and it was appreciated. Everyone joined their food.. it was fresh, hot, crispy and tasty. My California chicken sandwich consisted of a juicy marinated chicken breast, creamy avocado, melty white cheese, mayo, tomato, bun, etc. It was a tasty meal and wasn't salty or anything. Portion was quite decent.. felt quite full after eating half of the sandwich. Tried an onion ring from a friend... and it had a flavorful and crispy texture. I'll most definitely try something different off the menu when I visit next time around.. they have such a diverse menu and there is surely something for everyone. Might try their black bean burger or salmon burger next time around. The crispy fish sandwich looks good as well. I'm definitely bringing my family to this popular old joint. It was a well spent Saturday with my friends. Try it out and bring your friends a long as well. Think you'll like it too. :)
