“always good fast service“

“I stopped by Taco Bell recently and had a really solid experience overall. The food came out quickly, everything was fresh, and it tasted exactly like what you’d hope for—hot, well-made, and consistent with what you expect from the menu.

What really made the visit stand out was the customer service. Layla, one of the coworkers working there, was especially friendly and attentive. She made sure the order was correct, checked in with a great attitude, and handled everything smoothly even while it was a bit busy. That kind of service honestly makes a big difference and made the whole experience feel more welcoming.

Between the fast service, good food, and Layla’s great customer care, it was a genuinely positive visit to Taco Bell, and I’d definitely come back again“

“Delicious !! Enjoyed the East Los atmosphere..😋💞“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

“I stopped by this donut place the other morning and it honestly made my day. The moment I walked in, the smell of fresh donuts filled the whole shop. You could tell everything was made fresh because the trays were constantly being restocked.

I ordered a glazed donut and a cup of coffee, and the donut was warm, soft, and perfectly sweet. The glaze had that light crisp on the outside but melted as soon as I took a bite. It paired perfectly with the coffee.

The staff were really friendly too. They greeted everyone who walked in and made the place feel welcoming. It’s one of those simple spots that reminds you how good a fresh donut and good service can be. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m craving something sweet.“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“Honestly customer service 100% great. But the food was so bad I will never come here. This location needs to learn from Alhambra as far as food. And Alhambra needs to learn from this location about great customer service. UPDATE I WAS HERE RECENTLY AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FIXED WHAT A ICONIC LOS ANGELES CA OPTION THAT PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED.“

“I have been going to Al & Bea’s for over 40+ years. Has not changed“

“Very very great customer service, specifically Liliana, who took my order was extremely kind, patient, & has amazing customer service etiquette & deserves a raise & all the praise. That is what amazing customer service is & I appreciate her displaying it.“

“Probably the best pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had“

“the hamburgers the chicken plate tje Good customer serves.been coming here for the last 35 year's.“

“I just read this article in Los Angeles Magazine July 2022 about Lucky Boy !! very cool great place!! A Pasadena Landmark“

“The food was on point every bite had flavor. Looking for a classic with a lot of different options you found it. Staff was friendly and helpful gave good recommendations. Dinning area has tvs and music playing and super clean area. Will be back for sure.“

“Super cool and has a mini museum Be sure to get the deep fried apple pie!!“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“Ok Pastrami Dip is my suggested order to treat yourself here. BUT I saw a couple gentlemen get their order of pastrami and chili fries, oh, my. Gotta bring 3 friends to help me eat it all. Must try thst my next visit to The Hat. And free refills on drinks. Very generous.“

“They have really great flavor for their chicken. Their sauce is top notch. I am not a fan of thousand island but their sauce is really good! I love that it doesn't have pickles. Oh and the seasoning for their fries! Delicious and mouth watering flavors! Their bread is the perfect softness and there is enough chicken for every bite! Even the coleslaw they use taste great! Again, not a fan of coleslaw but theirs is a subtle flavor that just complement the slider sandwich.
I am a big wuss when it comes to spicy food but even their no spice selection is loaded with flavor!“

“Double Double combo for my mother and myself.“

“Best fast food in the business. They're Charbroiled Chicken Club is fantastic and tastes like it was made on a grill in your backyard. Plus, they serve the I put decent lemonade of any fast food joint. And burgers, while not as good as their chicken offerings are every bit as good as any other place. Oh, and they have the best waffle fries!“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

“When got to drive-up the guy couldnt gueas which order was mine. i had to remind him. Fries were cold and soggy. The size of the burger was the smallest than I've ever seen before. Same was true for the fries. My first visit for a long time. Disappointing. Wayne Weaver 6262622068“

“Anytime you wanna eat and you in Cali go here“

“Es un lugar de comida rápida, con mucha afluencia de personas; el sabor de la hamburguesas es bueno pero podrían mejorar la limpieza de los comedores.“

“It’s in n out. Is anything really needed to say?“

“This place lets you try burgers from around the world. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. They’re family owned and operated and I got their Cuban fries, chihuahua burger, and Colombian burger. The fries are cut and fried in house and were a bit soggy but had plenty of gooey cheese, ham, and grilled onions and had good potatoey flaves. The chihuahua burger had a meaty patty, buttery bun, rich chorizo, creamy nutty avocado, gooey savory cheese, nutty crunchy lettuce, and bright cilantro. Could maybe use something acidic like a salsa cuz it does get a bit rich. The Colombian burger also had a good patty and bun and had a sweet pineapple jam, cheese that kinda got lost in there, and crunchy fresh coleslaw. Was kinda getting more Thai vibes from this one for some reason but am lowkey so here for it. Overall this place is lowkey pretty good.

Chihuahua burger $7.95
Colombian burger $7.95
Cuban fries $6.95“

“I had a cheeseburger, fries and a Coke, I have to say this was the best burger I have had in long time. The cheeseburger was juicy not dry and the lettuce and tomatoes were not just thrown on it. It was very good…“

“It's not often I get to visit CA and when I do, I can't pass up trying some local Filipino food. Without looking at reviews, my family and I decided to try this place with their selection of "silogs." My only regret? It's that I was leaving for FL the following day. All the dishes we tried were nothing short of delicious. Breakfast was cooked on the spot, hot, fresh, and full of authentic flavors. Definitely will have to come back when we return. Y'all need to bring this Gulf Breeze, FL! Til next time! 🤙🏾“

“The Monty classic cheese burger. Outstanding!“

“the pulled pork sandwich was amazing! Will return to try other delights“

“This place deserves every bit of attention it’s getting. Still the best after all these years.“

“very nice service 👍 always come back“

“First time trying this place out.
It was worth it. I had the pastrami dip sandwich.
It was delicious
I can see why it has the reviews that it has
I highly recommend trying them out. I went to the original location in Alhambra.
Good job guys
Five Stars

“Very nice atmosphere worth the wait for the burgers very delicious“

“Menudo was on point. You can tell that they used the whole tripe, you also get a knee bone. This menudo didn't come out of a can that they sell at a Costco Business center. Most menudos come out of a can that they sell at Costco Business centers.

Getting there was easy on public transit. About 0.8 miles from the A line station on Cypress.

Service was great and staff were friendly.“

“I stopped by the Carl’s Jr. right off the 605 freeway in Whittier to grab something small to eat, and I’m so glad I did. Adriana provided amazing service—she was patient even though I took a little long to order, and her friendly, welcoming attitude made a great impression. Her positive energy really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you Adriana“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“It’s In-N-Out! Food was good!“

“I've come to this location so many times over the years and it's always been consistently good. I usually just use the drive thru but the service is always fast. Ambiance in this area is ok, due to the PCC being nearby and it helping the area be good. The food itself is always fantastic. The Big Carl is like a Big Mac, but better (and I am a huge Big Mac enthusiast). The limited-edition churro milkshake is fantastic btw, please give it a try if it's still available by the time you read this.“

“Great food, great portions for a reasonable cost. I’m a happy camper. 👍😬👏“

“Every Table meal subscription is amazing. Delicious, healthy foods at a very fair price. 5 dinners only $38. The best part is my area has brick and mortar stores where I just walk in and buy my meal prep for the week...Meals cooked in a local kitchen by real chefs with local fresh ingredients. I'm busy all the time and although I love cooking it's hard to cook for just one person. The majority of meals are 600 calories or less. An easy way for me to stay in my calorie deficit. I just had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was soooo good. Tasted just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend“

“First time here I would come back . Had the buffalo chicken salad 🥗 added egg to it.
Such a healthy alternative compared to other places in this food court. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The person who took my order was very nice and helpful.
Can't wait to try something different on their menu.“
