B&R Old-Fashion Burgers

B&R’s Old Fashioned Burgers, owned and operated by Richard and Norma Hood, first opened it’s door on July 9, 1994. After years of laborious work in the manufacturing industry, they decided that it was time to be the masters of their own destinies. Inspired by other family members who had already ventured into the food industry they soon followed suit. Also wanting to leave a legacy to their two young sons, Bryan and Rashad, they took the first initial of each child’s name and launched their new enterprise. Since that time, they have become a mainstay of the Hawthorne area. The restaurant offers a sumptuous breakfast menu, mouth -watering burgers, home-style fries, tacos, chicken dinners and fresh baked pies. The signature dish is their Monster Royal Burger, which is a combination of two 8- ounce patties, bacon or pastrami, an egg, chili and condiments. According to Chris Cognac, a culinary detective who writes for the Daily Breeze Newspaper and who specializes in reviewing “hole-in-the-wall” restaurants, “the Royal Burger is all that and more…everyone I take there says it’s the most amazing burger they have ever had.” The burger’s notoriety resulted in the newspaper listing B&R’s as one of the Top Ten restaurants in that area.
