The Employees are very friendly. The food tastes good. Had a breakfast borrito, ingredients to the liking but very little of it. The salsa was very tasty as well. However the coffee went down nicely. I definitely requested refill to go!

We didn’t eat in, and the restaurant is clean & nice. I love small profile places like this. I feel like I’m supporting local vs. the chain next door. The food was UHMAZING. Timing from order to grab and go, really good. The staff was really nice. First time here, we’ll be back

Fast food. Handsome guy at the counter, not welcoming, no eye contact. Only filled the small drink that came with the meal halfway, and he knew it, capped it anyway, and handed it over by making me reach over a large counter. Weird attitude for no reason. However, the French fries were crispy and fluffy. 5/5 The gyro (one of the most expensive items on menu @$16 ) was actually good with only the clunky chucks of tomato falling out…good ratio of tzatiki sauce and onions. 5/5
I’d passed by for years but always wondered about the place bec it always seemed busy, kinda like a truckers stop busy. There was an extensive menu suspended above the grill…I saw that hamburgers and hot dogs all reasonably price under $7. There’s even the throwback of Orange Bang on the menu. Too bad the buff guy taking orders was so ugh. Back to the gym, dude. Put someone nice and welcoming for front of house. Place was busy tho at 1 pm on a weekday, nice and clean, with ample seating on patio. And small two and four person booths that make it perfect for singleton dining. I had fun stopping by for my fast food culinary adventure, but won’t be back. Not that this establishment would care.

I went to Pharos Burgers around 5:30 pm on a Friday and was surprised there was no line. However, parking was pretty full at the time. For seating, there were plenty of options inside and outside as well. I like this spot, since it has an old school diner vibe.

In my recent visit, I got the double cheeseburger with bacon and a side of the fried zucchini. Once ordered, it only took a few minutes before my order was ready. The burger was something I got before and the quality held up. It was definitely juicy, but the drawback was the buns got soggy. I recommend to eat it asap if you get a burger. As for the zucchini, it had a slight crispiness on the outside, and a mushy inside. There was a ranch that was for the zucchini, which helped saved the taste. Once I ran out of ranch, I felt it was hard to finish it. I personally wouldn’t recommend that nor get it again.

I tried the Mushroom Burger at Pharos Burgers, and wow — it was absolutely fantastic. From the first bite, it’s clear that every component of this burger is carefully crafted. The patty is juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The mushrooms are sautéed to perfection — earthy, savory, and rich — and they pair beautifully with the melted cheese. The bun is soft yet sturdy, holding everything together without getting soggy, which is more important than people realize in a great burger.

What really sets this burger apart is the balance of flavors and textures. The mushrooms add depth without overpowering the beef, the cheese adds creaminess, and the seasoning is just right — you can taste all the ingredients without anything being too salty or too heavy. Every bite is satisfying, indulgent, and keeps you wanting more.

The portion size is generous, and the burger is hearty enough to be a full meal, but it never feels overwhelming. Service at Pharos Burgers was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for grabbing a great burger without fuss.

Overall, the Mushroom Burger is easily one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time — flavorful, perfectly balanced, and just downright delicious. If you’re a burger lover, this one is not to be missed.

I was shocked and surprised how bad the food was . That was literally the worst pastrami I’ve ever had in my life . The staff are super friendly and nice but the food was not. The atmosphere is super old and outdated and it feels like the mid 70s. The pastrami was so dry and old and chewy and thick and full of fat that it was dreadful to take even a couple of bites. Extremely over salty . The chicken salad that we ordered was very dry and over chewy. The salad was chopped rough with big pieces . The burger was okay but nothing spectacular. I don’t like giving local businesses bad reviews, but I’m sure the food is not meant to be this low quality and can be much better. But sadly it’s not a place I would come back. . At the end of the day, we spent almost $35 and walked out of their hungry.Food is a passion full of love, Please pay attention to the quality and respect people’s money and time. People spend time driving to places that are supposed to be five star Google reviews. Especially for us reviewers that we’re trying to support local businesses. I’m very disappointed and I had wished I didn’t have to write a review like this. Hopefully it’s a wake up call and we hear about your improvements and future success.

Everyone was so nice!! Friendly & Welcoming!! And the Cheeseburger I ordered was exactly how I liked it, with thousand island sauce!
Best of all was the chili cheese fries!! I requested a large size with half chili. They even asked me if I wanted cheese all over which made it even better!!
Fully stocked with a self serve of those yellow chili peppers. I will definitely come back.
