“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!!!“

“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.

Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

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

“I came in today for breakfast. I had great experience today. It’s been a while since I have had a good experience like today. The cashier who helped me, Rafa, was amazing, he was kind, and helpful. I changed my mind like 3 times, he didn’t care he was patient. I see 3 bad reviews here from 2 months ago, it’s night and day, the difference. He got my order, it was quick and he even brought it to me.
It’s one of those things like, he ACTUALLY cares about his job and tries his hardest
Thank you Rafa.“

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

“Very friendly service by the team they work together very well !!!Alejandra manager was amazing with everything I needed help with, I will definitely come back to this location. Service was very fast fresh and hot just the way I like my food. Amazing team“

“Great burritos and they do have beer on tap“

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

“Dont really care for leaving reviews, but after the service i received from Isaac was phenomenal. Im big on guacamole and he introduced me to the new guacamole burger. He also let me know of the deals going on, which no other employee does. I live in alhambra, but ill definitely come back to this location.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Connall's is a Pasadena institution for a reason. Their Grinders are consistently the best. Love the fries and the feeling of being at home

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly and kid sized items

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is wheelchair accessible“

“Ok so came here for the first time and had the famous pastrami dip and the chili cheese fries, at first I thought the Chili Cheese fries were a bit to expensive at $10usd but holy cow! The portion is huge, that’s enough for four or five people to side with their sandwiches and although as you can see in the photo they have a tremendous look they were a bit too bland, you can see how they’re bringing the fries fresh out of the frier in front of you but I’m not sure if they add salt to them cause they sure didn’t taste salty at all and the chili was more like a homemade canned chili, the sandwich was ok, good portion, nice taste of the Au Jus but I wish the bread was toasted or at least steamed since I didn’t finished it because I was full I took half of the sandwich home and a few hours later I put it on the microwave for 30 seconds and surprise! It was much better! Haha anyways, this is a good spot for classic old school LA Pastrami food but I don’t think it would be my first choice for eating out“

“Oh, Korean hot dog, a marvel to behold,
In crispy coats of batter, your story is told.
From bustling streets of Seoul, you made your way,
To hearts worldwide, where you now hold sway.

With panko crumbs that crunch and cheese that melts,
Each bite a symphony, a joy that’s felt.
Sausage or mozzarella, you offer a choice,
In every golden bite, we rejoice.

Dusted with sugar, a sweet surprise,
You tantalize our taste buds, a feast for the eyes.
Ketchup, mustard, or a spicy twist,
In your embrace, no flavor is missed.

Oh, Korean hot dog, you bring delight,
A street food wonder, both day and night.
In every bite, a piece of Korea’s soul,
A culinary treasure, making us whole.“

“best place ever. been coming since I was 7 yrs old“

“Famous star tonight was "Bustin"“

“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!!!“

“Food was very good I like it because they're open 24 hours first time I came here there was a mistake with my burrito and they remade me another one and also let me keep the other one which ended up being good because my daughter was able to eat it“

“This is a nice Carl's jr location to visit. It's always clean inside and the dining area is never too crowed. It seems this location gets much more drive-thru visitors than dine-in. They don't usually have many specials or discounts advertised in store but if you use the Carl's jr mobile app you will find a lot more discounts, specials, and bogo deals. So it's worth it to checkout the app before visiting or placing an order. They have self serve drink machines also which is nice. This location is a longstanding landmark in Montebello. It opened back when the plaza was built in the 1990's and its always had a good reputation.“

“Great tasting Indonesian food. Really authentic.“

“banana and spinach shake with open ham n mushroom sandwich are the best!!!!!“

“The noodles are good, but why are the fried chicken wings 11/10? S-tier. Best chicken we've had in a long time. Super juicy with a light crisp

Update 12/13/24: chicken was different and not as good today, so seems like a hit or miss“

“Awesome pizza spot! It's a chain, but this is the best of all the Blaze Pizza locations I've been to. The girl who took our orders was awesome and helpful. The guy who made the pizzas was amazing and knew exactly what he was doing. And he cooked the pizzas PERFECTLY. ZERO flop with a nice undercarriage. IYKYK. Anyway, I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the country.“

“This Carl’s Jr is very nice the food is fresh and employees very nice“

“The best food in Cali 👌👍 👌“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“If you haven't ate here yet you got to try it. It's made fresh and taste great. Good meal to eat after going to the gym. Not greasy at all. Comes with fresh salad and beef and white rice. You got to try this place it won't disappoint.“

“The best carls jr spot ever. Staff are really nice and friendly. Made sure i know about the promotion. Always helping me on saving money, we all need money nowadays with everything going up. Ask for the 6pcs ck star. Only $1.49 lol. Watch out for marina the manager and floral some of the nicest people u can meet.“

“Food was delicious and healthy.
We travel nearly an hour just to eat here. Service (counter girl) could have a little more friendly and have patience with ppl that are not familiar with their menu.
But the food is excellent.“

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

“Above average, I can say for everything. Add in and out, the only thing that is changing. Is there size of the hamburgers? Are getting smaller and also their fries. The smaller servings they're holding out on the food, but higher prices make me want to go and eat someplace else.“

“Good place and employees

Vegetarian options: Good option

Dietary restrictions: Good option

Parking: A lot of parkong

Kid-friendliness: Friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Good“

“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“

“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“

“Retro corner shop serving sandwiches, burgers, and other hot food.
----------
Wet Fries with Gravy
Grade: A-
I don't know what kind of stock they use for the gravy but the flavor is phenomenal. A little on the salty side but not too bad when you spread it out over the fries. The portion size is also massive
----------
Pastrami Dip
Grade: C-
The smokiness of the pastrami is good but it is really salty. I don't know if it's the pastrami itself or the au jus but the salt overpowers the rest of the flavor.“

“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 🌹.“

“The "FINEST" darn "CHICKEN BASKET" of 4 chicken fingers, w/ fries, cup of coleslaw, dressing dip..and 2 delicious, honey butter Texas Toast size dinner breads you ever sunk ur mouth into..😋 👍👍👍👍👍
FIVE THUMBS UP!!!
PS...And I didn't spend a penny! So I didn't answer the survey in the question area. I had a free coupon, that I won from the "CONCERTS AT THE PARKS" this summer.. courtesy of "CANES"
They are all they advertise to be..✌️😎

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Very tasty salmon poke here!! The fish quality is top notch. The avacado, rice, crab, and seaweed salad are all great. They have a ton of poke options (pre-designed, and design your own). Tons of other menu options. Wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price, but still good. Ginger and wasabi are tasty, and should be requested (complimentary upon request). They make the bowls to order in the back…so it does take a bit longer than other poke bar/chiptole style spots. But worth the wait! Very tasty, and high quality! In the vons parking lot. Some indoor seating. Highly recommend the salmon poke! This is our go to spot!“

“This burger joint has been here for decades and serves up flame-broiled burgers, thick fries, milkshakes, and more. Portions are huge, there's plenty of indoor seating, and the staff is always kind. Come here for lunch or dinner, and come hungry!“
