“ I got they're chicken salad for the first time today, man! It was good. It's not your average lettuce, spinach, avocado, olive oil salad but it's in the same ranking for me. Their lettuce is so perfectly shredded and tastes good not old like other places. They cut their chicken into pieces. They give you 3 ranches and it's so simply (lettuce, tomatoe, chicken & shredded cheese) but so so good. I recommend. ”
“ I've eaten at tons of restaurants and cafes in California and other states and have to say hands down, Star Burger is THEE best burger restaurant on the west side of Fresno County. Sure there are your typical chain-food, franchised burger restaurants in town with there slow service, over salted fries and bland food. But there is nothing like this place anywhere near to be found. In the 60's and 70's it was called Hailey's Drive-in, then Martinez Drive-in with both serving excellent burgers and food and now with the hard work of the current owners of Star Burger, it has continued to satisfy your taste buds. Thanks to the owners for keeping with tradition. ”
“ It's everything you expect from a mom and pop burger place. The burgers are excellent, the pricing is fair, and the people are friendly. It's a little noisy inside, but not so noisy as to be an issue. I recommend it over the chain burger joints if you're in the area. ”
“ What can I say? The food is awesome, the service with a smile. The old school dine in experience brings me back to easier days. I was eating there back when it was called Martninez Drive In. The new owners brought it back to its original old school taste. Thank you for that, now I can share that same old experience that I had with my dad, with my sons. ”
“ Best old time burger I had in years!!!! Built in the 50s, and still looks that way, right down to the water cooler instead of AC. Just loved it !! ”
“ Great food! Been going here for a while now! Especially now that Star Burger in firebaugh closed, we make the trip to mendota for great burgers and milkshakes. Kids love it! ”
“ Try the Chili Cheese Fries with pastrami you wont be dissapointed ”
“ Small burger joint with solid menu and a walk-up window if you don't want to eat inside. Had the double-star burger with a side of onion rings and fries. And I was NOT disappointed, everything tasted great and the fries had that little crunch with a soft center that I appreciate. (I've been here a few times now.) ”
