I have lived in Long Beach for ten years and never noticed this place. Don&#8217;t underestimate its size. If you&#8217;re on foot, then walk right up and place your order, but if you\u2019re driving, don\u2019t blink or you will miss it.<\/p>\n<p>Hungry from a light lunch and wanting an afternoon snack, I ordered a cheeseburger from the highly limited menu of burgers and dogs. No fries or frills here, just burgers and dogs. I was delighted to find this place\u2013a funky little building surrounded by some old picnic benches located in nothing other than a Chevron station parking lot. So cool!<\/p>\n<p>After paying the inexpensive price of $3.20, my delight continued. When the burger was ready and I began to eat, the experience became pure joy.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve said it before\u2013I\u2019m a huge fan of burgers. Dave\u2019s Burgers is now on my list of favorites. Why? This quaint, simple and inexpensive establishment produces burgers that are absolutely delicious. The method is basic: cook the meat on a flat grill, thereby maintaining the much-desired juiciness, use fresh ingredients, allow customization, and keep the culinary art focused. Therefore no fries, no onion rings and no salads.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from the photos, the menu is indeed a quick glance. If you are looking for a quick, easily accessible cheeseburger, hot dog or chicken burger, pull into the Chevron station on Atlantic Ave just north of the 405. You won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-19537\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-09-04_18-03-15_970.jpg\" alt=\"2012-09-04 18-03-15 970\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Dave&#8217;s Burgers is located at&nbsp;3396 Atlantic Avenue.&nbsp;(562) 424-3340<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ie=UTF8&amp;cid=12482238725620902344&amp;q=Dave's+Burgers&amp;gl=US&amp;hl=en&amp;t=m&amp;iwloc=A&amp;ll=33.818537,-118.18517&amp;spn=0.006295,0.006295&amp;output=embed\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><\/iframe><br \/><small><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-align: left;\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ie=UTF8&amp;cid=12482238725620902344&amp;q=Dave's+Burgers&amp;gl=US&amp;hl=en&amp;t=m&amp;iwloc=A&amp;ll=33.818537,-118.18517&amp;spn=0.006295,0.006295&amp;source=embed\">View Larger Map<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-19534\" style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; cursor: default; vertical-align: middle; border-width: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-09-04_17-59-22_299.jpg\" alt=\"2012-09-04 17-59-22 299\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the corner of Atlantic and Wardlow sits a small burger shack that made me very happy last week\u2013Dave\u2019s Burgers.
