Welcome to Imperial Burgers
Imperial Burgers sits on E Imperial Hwy in La Habra and feels like a classic neighborhood stop for breakfast, burgers, and diner-style comfort food. I find a casual room, quick counter service, and a menu that covers the day from early hash browns to late-night bites. The price range stays in the $10 to $20 lane, so it fits easy lunches, family meals, and solo stops without much planning.
The draw here is simple. A cheeseburger, French fries, onion rings, or a breakfast burrito lands on the table with the kind of diner feel locals know well. Reviews point to friendly service, clean dining space, and a steady pace that suits lunch breaks and dinner runs. The place also works for takeout, delivery, and dine-in, which gives it a practical role in the local food map. I notice the regular crowd mix too, from university students to groups and early-bird breakfast guests. That gives the spot a steady, lived-in rhythm.
What stands out most is the balance of range and familiarity. The menu has burgers, pastrami sandwiches, steak options, burritos, salads, and breakfast plates. That mix gives people room to build a meal that fits the mood. A few reviews mention chili cheese fries, pastrami, and a secret-style flavor on certain items, which adds a local hook. Imperial Burgers feels like the kind of place people return to for the same order, then keep a few new items in the rotation. Small town, big appetite energy.

About
I see Imperial Burgers as a clean, casual diner stop with broad appeal. It has indoor and outdoor seating, table service, and counter-style ordering, so the setup feels flexible for a quick bite or a longer meal. The atmosphere leans cosy and quiet, which suits breakfast runs, lunch breaks, and simple dinner visits. It also has accessible parking, an accessible entrance, accessible seating, and an accessible toilet, which helps the space serve more people with ease.
The location at 241 E Imperial Hwy makes it easy to reach, and the free parking lot plus free street parking remove a lot of the usual stress. That matters in a car-friendly part of town. The spot accepts reservations and common cashless payment methods, so the practical side feels solid. I also like the way it works for different schedules. Early visitors can catch a quieter room, while lunch and dinner bring a steady crowd. Friday at noon looks like the busiest stretch, so timing matters if you want a calmer visit.
Imperial Burgers fits local dining habits well. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it draws solo diners, students, and groups. The menu reaches into comfort food, coffee, and quick-serve classics, so it feels like a real all-day stop rather than a one-note burger counter. For anyone building a local list, this place earns a spot for consistency, parking ease, and that old-school diner feel that still has a pulse. Little corner gem, big working-city energy.

What People Say
Most Liked
People seem to like the fast service, clean dining area, and the classic diner style. The burgers get strong praise, especially the junior burger, cheeseburger, and double burger. Fries get pointed out a lot too, and the crinkle-cut style has a loyal fan base. Chili cheese fries, onion rings, and breakfast burritos also come up in good feedback. The portion size feels fair for the price, which helps it land well with regulars and students. Friendly hospitality keeps showing up in reviews, and that counts for a lot in a local spot.
Most Disliked
Some guests mention that the service style can feel short or blunt at the counter. A few people also note limited seating, especially if a visit turns into a takeout-style wait near the windows. The restroom gets mixed comments, with clean conditions but an older look. None of this sounds like a dealbreaker, yet it shapes the experience. Imperial Burgers feels more like a practical diner stop than a polished sit-down room, so visitors who want a slower, softer setting may want to plan with that in mind.

Super delicious diner quality food served with friendly hospitality. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Imperial Burgers. The junior Burger and fries tasty. Much better than In 'n'Out. It also seemed the meal was presented with the utmost care as the burger didn't not look like it was hastily prepared. The diner has both an indoor and outdoor dining counter service. The whole ok place looked very clean as I did not see one single piece of trash on the floor. Even the indoor dining area looked really clean. Friendly service throughout. Conveniently located on the corner of Imperial hwy. Plenty of free parking.

Best take out in the LA Habra area for burgers and other sandwiches and Mexican dishes as well, classic style, wrapped in yellow paper, best crinkle fries hands down, plus they give you alot. Lady taking orders seems short and to the point but she running a business so I get it. The food makes up for it. Not much seating unless you are okay sitting right in front of the order and pick up windows. Plenty of parking, 50/50 on the restroom, it's clean but old.

I’ve been going to this place for over 41 years. The owner adds Greek flavoring to the food, giving it a secret-special taste.
