Irv's Burgers, an iconic Los Angeles burger stand with a rich history, is celebrating its 80th anniversary on August 26. Originally opened in 1946 as Queen's Burgers, it was a notable roadside stop on Route 66 before being renamed Irv's Burgers in 1970 under Irv Gendis.
During the 1970s, the establishment became a popular hangout for rock 'n' roll icons such as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Linda Ronstadt, with photos of musicians adorning its walls. Current patrons include celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Seth Rogen.
To mark its 80th year, Irv's Burgers, now under CEO Lawrence Longo, will offer special promotions. Customers can purchase Irv's Original Roadside Single Burgers for $.80, with those 80 years or older receiving them for free. Eighty giveaways, including free burgers for a year and gift cards, will occur at each of its six locations.
Furthermore, Irv's Burgers is reinforcing its community ties by pledging to donate $0.80 from every full-price combo purchased on August 26 to local food banks, extending its tradition of quality and hospitality.
