About This Spot
Stepping into Melo Burger feels like sinking into the kind of casual, unpretentious corner spot that’s been quietly serving up comfort and familiarity for years. Tucked near a busy street corner in Inglewood, this is a place where time moves at its own easy rhythm—loud with the energy of the city but inviting in its own right. There’s an unmistakable pulse here, a steady buzz shaped by the nearby hum of planes and the chatter of regulars who’ve found a dependable, flavorful refuge.
The atmosphere leans into a lively, no-frills neighborhood vibe where the focus is on good food and good company rather than fancy frills. It’s the sort of place where the sizzle of the grill outside and the familiar aroma of seasoned patties and crispy fries draw you near, sparking anticipation without fanfare. Friends gather for a quick bite, families find a casual meal that satisfies everyone’s cravings, and locals appreciate the blend of hearty options that feel both grounded and distinct.
While the menu spans a range of classic favorites—from stacked burgers and crispy onion rings to inventive twists like chili cheese fries crowned with savory pastrami—the real magic lies in how those dishes come together. Each bite carries a straightforward, well-honed flavor that speaks to careful seasoning and a love for the craft of comfort food. Whether paired with a thick strawberry shake or a generous portion of carne asada fries, the experience is one of genuine satisfaction, the kind that invites you to return again and again without pretense.
Melo Burger doesn’t shy away from its bustling setting or its street-corner charm; instead, it embraces it. It’s this blend of accessible flavors, spirited atmosphere, and a sense of place that makes it a quietly resonant stop on the local food map—one where the simple joy of a well-done burger and friendly service feels like the heart of community itself.

Nice prices. Nice service. Great hours. Hope they are here forever.
Steak Platter was Very Delicious & Got Meunudo was Outstanding The Best ive ever Had Very Good I would Recommend For A Quick Bite
First off, marked this place as loud because its outdoors on a street corner in LA a couple blocks from LAX. Quiet is just not possible. Second, WOW! One of the best burgers Ive had in a long while. Really good shake, and the asada fries are a meal unto themselves. A smidge pricy for this guy used to country prices, but fair for the area. If Im ever in the area again, I wouldnt hesitate coming here again.
I've slept on Melo Burger for at least or nearly 30 years.. As my uncle/Godfather owned Cooper Motors which is 1½ block away from Melo Burger (Cooper Motors at: 4600- Century Blvd.,Inglewood, California is/was an Independent Mercedes and BMW repair shop established in 1980's ) I would frequently pass along Century Blvd. and at times wanted something to eat that was close enough to Cooper Motors, Inc because as a young teen I worked at Cooper Motors during the Summer and later became a service manager then also ran the entire business and supervised the mechanics on duty while ordering all of our parts from W.I. Simmonson Mercedes Dealership in Santa Monica and dealing with customers who were having their Mercedes serviced or repaired.. I even handed the late Jerry Buss Lakers owners daughters Mercedes. Jeanie Buss I would drop her off at The Great Western Forum at The Forum Club entrance and return to Cooper Motors in order to have the mechanics service her drop top convertible Mercedes then return her vehicle to the Forum staff before lunch time. Well after all the nostalgic and good memories.. I recently was in the area and was about to catch a flight out of LAX International Airport and saw that nothing else was open but Melo Burger ( they are open 24 hours 24/7). So I gave it a shot!! OMG ...it was good and decent food... all these years and I never bothered because it didn't appear to have decent food plus back then the area was kinda watch your back, but since then they have cleared up the area from sketchy thugs and prostitution running rampant on Century Blvd. The area is now safe because of the Sofi Stadium and they can't have the fans who travel into the Inglewood area for concerts, basketball and NFL games to be intimated or unsafe. It's totally safe now... Of course crime can happen anywhere even Beverly Hills but with that said... Go check out Melo Burger you won't be disappointed.. I hate I slept on them and was foot steps away when I ran & operated Cooper Motors for my uncle/Godfather Glen Cooper ( owner/founder of Cooper Motors, Inc.). Melo Burger is good!
They take credit card, debit, cash, and EBT (hot meals program) for payment. It's nice and clean, but as far as I can see, only outdoor seating is available. And no public restroom. The food is really good. I like the Carne Asada Nachos. They put a little kick in it. And have a large variety of shakes and smoothies which are always thick and delicious.
Absolutely massive portions! The burgers were as big as my hand. I definitely didn’t need the other items I ordered. We have left overs! Everything was really delicious and reminded me of a take out diner from my home town.
