“When I get very hungry I go to Jack in the Box for a snack or a meal depending on my appetite. I like coming to Jack in the Box for the food,shakes,breakfast and many other things I like about. The service is good and friendly. I have been in couple Jack in the Box the interior is different from the other Jack in the Box.“

“I have been coming to this Subway for several years now and it has been a very solid spot for me. I typically order through the mobile app, the food is always ready on time when I arrive. Special shout to Sarah who makes the best bread of all the Subway locations I have patronized. She greets all her customers with a smile and is very speedy with her service. This location is highly recommended!“

“The staff there is very nice. The restaurant is very clean inside and outside. The food is always at the right temperature. There's hardly ever any line in the drive-thru. Unfortunately it looks like they need more staff, there are very few employees working there. I believe the issue is a corporate issue and not local management issue. All things considered this location is great.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“What an absolute treasure of a place! The shawarma here is truly on another level—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell it’s made with so much care and attention to detail. The portions are generous, the ingredients are always fresh, and the sauces add the perfect finishing touch.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick without ever feeling rushed. It’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like a valued guest, not just a customer.

Whether you’re grabbing something quick to go or sitting down to enjoy, this is hands down one of the best stops for shawarma. I can’t recommend it enough—I’ll definitely be back again soon!“

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

“Yum! Yum! Yummy! That triple cheeseburger was so delicious and cooked to perfection. I can never eat the whole burger in one sitting lol i always ask for them to cut it halves so i have half for later. Not bad getting two meals outta one combo. I’ll be so full but cant help myself i just gotta get the Oreo cookie and cream milkshake before leaving. Carl’s jr is definitely one of my favorites. They never disappoint“

“Theresa was amazing!! She gave the best customer service I have every experienced at a fast food restaurant. She was very friendly and attentive. I asked for tomatoes on my Spicy Chicken Sandwich. When I received my sandwich, I noticed there was no tomatoes on it. I didn’t want to make a fuss, so I ate it as is, no sweat! In the middle of eating the sandwich, Theresa said “there was something wrong with your sandwich huh?” And I said “haha yeah but no worries, I’m enjoying it!” Theresa went above and beyond and brought out complimentary fries and apologized! I have no idea how she knew there was a mistake, but I was blown away by how sweet and attentive she was. Thank you again Theresa! I will definitely be coming here again!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Turco, and the döner was absolutely amazing! The flavors were authentic, and the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. The portion sizes were generous, and the service was friendly and efficient. If you’re craving delicious, fresh döner, this is the place to go! I’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommended!“

“I recently stopped by Tam’s Burgers and had a solid overall experience. The menu is packed with variety—from classic burgers and fries to breakfast items, Mexican dishes, and even slushies. It’s a place where you can definitely satisfy a craving no matter what you’re in the mood for.

One of the standout positives is that they now accept EBT, which makes their food more accessible to everyone. The prices are reasonable considering the portions, most meals range from about $10 to $15. They also have combo options that include drinks, and the drink station is fully stocked with Pepsi products, frozen slushies, and soft-serve machines.

The interior is simple but clean, with a modern black tile floor and red booth seating. There’s plenty of space to sit and eat comfortably. The “Order Here” signage is clear, and there’s a solid system in place for taking orders.

Staff were efficient, though not overly friendly, which is fine, this place seems more about speed and quantity than sit-down service. Still, the food came out hot and fresh.

If you’re looking for a no-frills spot with a big menu and fast service, Tam’s gets the job done. It’s not gourmet, but it’s reliable comfort food at a good price.“

“Drive through was fast. Lady didn't know it was me after I confirmed my online order 30 seconds after she verified it was my mobile order. Guess she wanted ot make sure I was the correct customer even if i was the only one there. What can i say Fast food good service. I'm excited to see how it'll go next time I go.“

“Samsa was amazing! I tried with beef, cheese and pumpkin! Delicious! Also I ate pilof with beef and rice. Highly recommended! TacoSide-my favorite“

“🤤🤤🤤🤤😱😱😱 A 10!!! I GIVE IT A TEN!!!! OMG I just had your food for the first time today 4/25/23 3:59pm and oh my this California Burrito & Holy Guacamole Burger & fries is entirely too good and I will be visiting again. Please, Please, Please, Never Leave Vegas, and please build another location in N. Las Vegas (preferably the Centennial area like across the street from my house 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰) JK. But definitely in the Centennial area. Great Staff too. VERY FRIENDLY. ❤️“

“Mark is the most amazing manager I’ve ever encountered at Carl’s Jr. He is incredibly friendly and provides the best customer service I’ve experienced at a fast food restaurant. I keep returning to this particular Carl’s Jr. every morning for breakfast simply because Mark makes me feel right at home.“

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

“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“

“Great burritos and they do have beer on tap“

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

“This is easily the best Burger in town. The Philly Cheesesteak is absolutely amazing, and the Seasoned Fries and Onion Rings can’t be beat. The homemade Milkshakes are delicious, and made to order. Definitely try this spot if you’re on the fence.“

“This place is delicious. The price for a breakfast burrito is relatively cheap. The salsa is also delicious. The staff is fun if you speak Spanish (which I do). I put 4 stars because of price, food taste, and the experience I had there. Even the restroom was clean. I would go back and eat there again hands down.

The only downside is the flies that fly around. They don't land on your food but they do just like to land on the table.“

“IYKYK. Chronis hot dogs are always a treat.“

“I was a regular at Connal's when I lived in Pasadena twenty-odd years ago. I came for a visit and the food still tastes the same as it did back then. Delicious! I got my son the cheeseburger and he said it was very good. That is high praise from him. We want to go back when we visit again.“

“This place was always my go-to for pastrami! But over the period of time, employees has gotten very rude, unlike the old employees when I used to come almost every week. Now all they do is serve their food, nobody there shows customer service anymore!“

“Excellent Carl’s Jr I should know after starting at Carl’s Jr, I'm aware of the companies points. My background also includes hospitality(hotel, restaurant, bistro) employment.

This Carl's Jr is clean, brand menu, very friendly employees, good deals like BYOB.

Great parking. Close to highway and shopping.

Thanks!“

“The people here a good kind and hard working people, no matter how I dress and what time of day or night. The food is great. A friend and I ate here like 2-3 times a week for a month when we first discovered it. I usually get a burrito but opt for tacos when I'm omw to a party.“

“Carl’s Jr. exceeded my expectations with its delicious food and clean environment. Patricia, the manager, was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better by ensuring every customer felt welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend going when manager Patricia is working !!

Vegetarian options: lettuce wrap burger“

“A huge pastrami on rye, hit the spot!
Back for a pastrami dip and an orange blast, wow. This is a must visit whenever I'm in town!
The place is a real blast from the past, they don't do it like this much any more. I want to try some other sandwiches but I can't pass up that pastrami!!!“

“I love this cafe. The chicken salad is so good! My friend always loves the grilled short ribs. This is also our go to spot for fluffy pancakes. The matcha one is perf! The cream is very matcha-y. And the pancakes are perfectly cooked and so soft, fluffy and jiggly. Cannot recommend this spot enough!!!“

“Famous star tonight was "Bustin"“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“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.“

“Very Clean and the staff are all very respectful.“

“No matter who is the cashier, the service is always excellent. And it's not just me, I see how they are with other customers. I always get the chicken burrito because I just love burritos.“

“This Carls is amazing, especially late night !! The nice man who works the drive thru, Alex is so kind and always makes sure I have everything I need. Food is also always so good, Carl’s Jr has the best and biggest burgers by far. Thank you Alex and to all the other kind workers ! I also highly recommend the bacon and Swiss hand breaded chicken sandwich :)“

“For us, it was an out of the way place. We don't live near any of the places. It's on a very busy street. I searched on Google Maps for zucchini, and this place popped up. Looked delicious on the pictures. I'm a zucchini fanatic. I had the Frisco burger combo. Fries and a drink added. My wife had the breakfast burrito with a drink as well. The Frisco burger was very well cooked, and sourdough bread was grilled. Onion and cheese were melted on it to perfection. My wife's bacon burrito was well cooked and crispy inside like she likes it. Let's get to the zucchini now. Long thin/thick pieces seasoned with their tasty seasoning. Inside was juicy and soft. I'm used to crispy, crunchy outsides, but this place has a good amount of pieces on their order. Tasty inside and out. If I'm near this place in the future, I will come back... ?????

Parking: Plenty of parking slots. Drive thru was loaded with cars. Must be a local favorite.

Wheelchair accessibility: Tables with movable chairs.“

“The food was wonderful and the service was ok, but I love it anyways and I recommend going here“

“The food is standard burger/ Mexican fare. The price for each item in 2025 is under $10 with certain exceptions in regards to meals and dinner plates. There is a small parking lot that is associated with Ernie's burgers and is free. The food is good for the price but if you expect good food I would recommend other locations.

I had the patty melt, tuna melt and chili fries with cheese:

The Patty Melt ($8 approx.) is decent but has the issue of using a bad cheese for patty melts and poor order. The cheese adhered to the bread as opposed to the patties which leads to hard bread and less flavorful patties. The choice of cheese was American cheese which doesn't work well for Patty Melts, had they chosen a Cheddar or Swiss cheese the overall melt would have been better. Aside from those issues the bread was toasted nicely and there was a small amount of onions (partly caramelized)

The Tuna Melt($7-8) was good for it's price, similar to the patty melt the bread was toasted nicely, the cheese was American Cheese and would have been better if they had chosen another type of cheese. The Tuna mix was a bit of a mess but decent. The pros were that it was light on mayo, resulting in a dryer tuna mix for those who prefer such things. The cons were the inconsistencies in flavor namely the random bites of acidity. If the acidity was more uniform and spread out so each bite had a nice little acidic bite it would be fine. However, as it was, there were random dry but good parts not overpowered by the cheese and random spots where all you could taste was what I assumed was vinegar.

Lastly the chili fries with cheese, this was a decent option but nothing standout, if you want chili cheese fries i'd advise you to seek other restaurants. The issues I had were the fries were crispy to and extent but served with chili that lack impact. As a sloppy mess to finish after your meal after the fries have soaked in chili it's fine. However, when eaten as it was served the fries were a bit too crispy and didn't absorb any of the chili's flavor even if it didn't have much to begin with.

All in all, if you want a quick cheap bite to eat, Ernie's burgers works great for a quick and cheap bite, but if you want flavor seek other establishments. Whilst Ernie's is not bad it certainly doesn't hold up to the other nearby establishments in terms of flavor.“

“The Beef Noodle Soup was delicious. As others said, the proportion of beef to noodle was generous, and the flavor was robust. Although the meat alone was somewhat salty, it paired perfectly with the wide noodles. The broth was also yummy, not too light or salty. The Dry Noodles were also pretty good. However, the Medium spice level was still quite spicy! The Cold Cucumber was so-so, more bland than expected. Refreshing after hot and spicy noodles, though. Besides that, the service was good, and the restauraunt itself was pretty clean.

Overall, the flavors were very authentic! Would come back here again for the Beef Noodle Soup, or to try the Guilin Noodle Soup.“

“The Service: Service is very efficient. Freshly made to order. Order at the counter & the staff even hand delivered the food to all customers' tables (either dine-in or take out), super nice! The Food: Hot & Spicy burger: I "upgraded" my burger, adding some avocado & bacon! OMG! Love the sauce & the jalapeño in my burger. Onion Ring: Great batter, super crispy! Strawberry Milkshake: Very creamy and not overly sweet! Just the way I like it~ Wings: The staff highly recommended me to try their wings. Sweet & Spicy flavor! Perfect combination~ I didn't know they have breakfast menu too? I got to come back & try out their breakfast soon~ They open at 8am. Perfect to grab freshly made breakfast before work! The Parking: Street metered parking. Side streets are residential area (parking free).“

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s“

“The corn dogs are really good and I would recommend them! The boba (milk tea specifically) was a little too sweet for my liking and the tapioca pearls were kinda hard, not soft and chewy. They were also somewhat small. The inside is pretty small too and there was an open ketchup packet making a mess on the floor. 😬 Besides the weird quality boba, the food here is really good.“

“Great tasting Indonesian food. Really authentic.“

“Burgers are so good. I get mine extra toasted and it just melts in my mouth. The staff is friendly. I recommend you get a table fast if you see it open!“

“Came here a couple weeks ago and they forgot my chicken nuggets. Came back today and told them and they made it right and gave me my nuggets no questions asked. The cashier at the drive thru was really nice and friendly. Would recommend if you want your junk food fix“

“While my meal, service and ambiance was quite exceptional. I would like Sylvia to have some help. Lady was cooking, taking and bagging orders and working the drive thru. I wouldn't be surprised if Carl's Jr had her raising the animals herself in the back. 🤣 Please hire some help for this lady! This is how y'all lose good management.“

“Such a great hospitality! During this difficult times I Loved the fact that today they were so special with the costumers and shared a fresh cut 🌹.“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

“I worked t Pioneer Chicken #1 on Echo Park as a cook, prep, and last as a manager for 13 years . I never got tired of eating Pioneer Chicken. I always go to Soto and Whittier location“

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

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“
