“ I have been coming here since 1987, through the years the food has been consistently good. The menu is simple and reflects the more relaxed and less complicated hey days. You are not going to find brioche buns, foie gras, truffles oil, etc…what you will find is classic American diner taste. My favorites here are the fried chicken dinner plate, chili cheese fries with onions, their char grilled bacon cheeseburger is always excellent and their steak sandwich. I like to add 2 fried eggs to my steak sandwich. The facility is old, feels old and looks old. But, the tables are clean and not sticky. Service with a smile and the staff are helpful. ”
“ This place is good I guess..not all bad but I was really disappointed in my breakfast sandwich. It fell apart. Lacked flavor it needed some spice. Anyway. It's cheap burgers if that's what your looking for but not cheap in price. Good luck ”
“ Always delicious! Friendly and effective staff. The cook cooks with love, thank you!! The chili cheese fries FRY and i love their burger sauce ”
“ The food is good; like Tom's or Tommy's. I ordered a combo: hamburger, fries, and a drink. I told her yellow peppers and ketchup. And, for the chicken strips a thousand island dressing. Once, I arrived home nothing was inside of the bag. Not complementing the meals, of course, the prices are not really cheap. I would return to this place, probably not. That's the reason for 3 stars, not really customer service oriented. ”
“ My favorite burger spot in all of rosemead, but I really really wish that they would consider EBT as an option as it's so much convenient instead of me having to drive all the way to Montebello where there are many Burgers locations that accept EBT. ”
