The story of John’s place began August 15, 1980 when newlyweds John and Jenny opened a walk up burger stand called Imperial Burgers in Bellflower, California. Their goal was simple. Work hard and serve the community with food they were proud of at everyday prices. Almost 40 years have passed and not much has changed. With several restaurants throughout Southern California and more opening planned for the future, the success of John’s Place has surpassed the founders’ original dreams. We invite you to come in, enjoy the moment and if you get lucky, you might just spot those retired newlyweds sitting at a booth smiling and greeting their customers that have become like family throughout the years!

I worked here 22 years ago and it is still fantastic. They have added a few items like blended coffee and it is a great place to go with the family. They always have 95.9 the fish on so you know it is always a family friendly environment.

John’s is always quick and reasonably priced. Their food is fresh and coffee great. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love their zucchini fries with ranch dressing. They have the best breakfast burritos in town.

Nice to have a place that cares about both quantity and quality. The Double Bacon Cheeseburger was delicious.

The local fast casual restaurant that everyone in town goes to. They have a wide variety of items to choose from. Food is good and there’s plenty of seating, some outdoor seating too. The only downside is that the staff isn’t as pleasant as you would expect. We come here almost every week, usually get the grilled cheese, club sandwich, and the fries. Pretty crowded on the weekends.

Not bad. This place also sells Mr. Beast Burgers and my boyfriend really wanted to try them. I ordered it online on the Mr. Beast Burger app. They only had a few burgers and you can’t customize them. They also didn’t have the option to buy take out sodas, only soda cans. We went to pick them up and the containers were really nice with the Mr. Beast logos. At the location we picked them up at they had their own shakes, sodas and drinks which I wish I would have known before I bought over priced soda cans. Overall it was an okay experience and my boyfriend loved it.

Well foods good, but I was disappointed on the pastrami combo sandwich the pastrami was very dry and for what they are charging you for. It’s a little bit small sandwich hamburger combo was great but you really need to fix the pastrami sandwich.
