First time here for me, my wife, and son. I ordered a double cheeseburger with pastrami, my wife got a single bacon chili cheeseburger, and my son got a single burger without cheese, and of course I also ordered chili cheese fries. Omg, burgers were so……. amazingly good, and same goes for the chili cheese fries!! If you haven't been here yet, you Have to come by and try Mama's Special Burgers & Fries!! You won't be disappointed, infact you'll come back for more!!!

Mama is such a sweet lady! Always makes sure her customers are satisfied with their meals. The food is so delicious I’ve waited over 3 hours for some chili cheese fries 😋 Highly recommend to any local who loves LA American Food

Absolutely amazing food! The burger was juicy, flavorful, and stacked with all the right toppings way better than In-N-Out in my opinion. The chili cheese fries were loaded and delicious, and everything was freshly made. Great service. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re craving a solid, mouthwatering burger! Thank you Mama shack!

We absolutely loved this place. Amazing burgers, delicious chili cheese fries. The food was fresh. Mama has such a bubbly and loving personality. Deserves much more hype. 10/10!

Mama’s Snack Shak – Compton’s Hidden Burger Gem

I’d been promising my neighbor a great burger for a while, and when Mama’s Snack Shak popped up on my TikTok feed, I knew it was fate. Tucked away on Long Beach Blvd, this tiny walk-up spot serves up burgers that are anything but small. Juicy, flavorful, and stacked with love—every bite felt like a hug from Mama herself.

The vibe is pure Compton soul: no frills, just real food made with heart. My neighbor couldn’t stop raving, and honestly, neither could I. From the homemade chili to the secret seasoning and that signature hot pepper relish, you can taste the passion in every layer.

If you’re craving a burger that hits different, Mama’s is the move. Just don’t be surprised if you start recommending it to everyone you know.
