WHEN: Tue @7pm…read more Located in a small plaza, while there is free parking, it's also quite limited with it being share with other business establishments. However, since we came at night time where most of them were closed, we got parking right in front. This spot is more of a take-away place, with 6 counter seatings indoors, and maybe 3 chairs right out front. This tiny burger spot seems to be run by just one person, so it helps that you can self-order at their kiosk. He was very attentive juggling between cooking the made-to order items, and check in on the costumers in case they had questions. After placing my order at their one device, it was roughly a 15 minutes wait. Here's what we ordered: CHEESEBURGER - $9.90 High-quality beef patty smashed with grilled onions, serviced on a toasted Martin's potato bun and topped with pickles and their fry sauce. I really enjoyed this rich tasting burger. I think that fry sauce was a huge factor...but also that soft bun...and that flavorful beef patty. I really enjoyed this. FRIES - $5.25 Golden Thing-Cut Fries. Perfect. I mean this was made to order so they were warm, crispy and so dang good! It's how fries everywhere should be! I was hoping to come back during my trip in LA, but it's okay, it won't be the last time I visit.

We've been ordering from FTW for months because whenever i think of a smash burger, its either the…read moreones i make myself or the ones from FTW. The crispy lace edges, the juicy center, the grilled onion, the slightly spicy sauce, the slightly sweet bun...all dreamworthy! Their sweet potato fries aren't all that great to look at, but omg, always perfectly cooked and salted! Perfectly complimented with the fry sauce. All that said, we were disappointed when we received our last order: 1. Packaging change (paper wrapped instead of cardboard box for the burgers) robbed the craveable edges of their crispness. Plus there was so much grease on the paper wraps it actually made it messier to eat than before. 2. The sauce has changed. The spice level increased (still not too spicy), but a side of sauce (which you pay more than a $1 for) is now sent in a premade branded packet. I have zero issues paying extra for a good sauce made fresh in-house, but instead of tasting like a fresh sauce made with mayo and spices, it now tastes of oil and spices and is not nearly as tasty. We noticed the difference on the burgers as well, so it seems like their sauce is all premade now and not nearly as good.

First time here. I went around 1pm pst on a Wednesday. After a nice stroll by the LA river I saw…read moretheir sign and decided to give the tacos a try. They were a solid 4.8/5, my favorite was the fish taco. I think they use a chipotle sauce it was delicious. I also really really enjoyed the carne asada. They have some seating in the location I was at, as well as a small gift shop that is open Wednesday - Sunday so you can browse while you wait for your food. It took less than 10minutes for my tacos to be prepared but there was no line when I was there. The service was great, two sweet guys in the truck, and an electronic queue to place your order. The tacos are reasonable priced for LA... I'm from San Diego and tacos are pretty cheap there as well as on Mexico. I recommend trying it for yourself.

Not prepared. Out of everything, 40 minute wait. Lackluster and expensive. Why would you eat here?…read moreDesperation ? Maybe

Fosters is a classic ice cream (soft serve ice milk) location with long history in Southern…read moreCalifornia. Having never been to a Fosters location, my daughters and I were looking for a little treat at the end of the day and we thought we'd check it out to see how the venerable brand compared to the Wanderlust, Jenni's, Salt & Straw locations we are accustomed to. The location is simple, old fashioned (see photos), and run-down. We got a sprinkle and strawberry sundaes ($4.79 each). The ice cream (or ice milk) is more solid than soft serve, and has a slightly different flavor. Personally, I was not a fan, and I consider this a step below McDonald's, which has a stronger vanilla flavor and creamier texture. The toppings and whipped cream were similarly generic and unremarkable. Overall, I was not impressed by Fosters. Perhaps I lack the nostalgia it holds in the hearts of others, but the product simply isn't as good as you can find elsewhere. Food: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 4/5

I had a double cheeseburger that was pretty good. The meat was lacking a tad in flavor or seasoning but the veggies seemed fresh enough. The whole thing lacked some careful preparation and looked like someone in the place punched down on it. Oh well. Tasted like a BK Whopper. The vanilla soft serve ice cream cone dipped in their patented chocolate sauce that hardens into a shell about the ice cream? Heaven sent. Perhaps the best I've ever had. The ice cream was simple and cold and smooth on the tongue, somehow rich and subtle in flavor simultaneously. Hey, it was just vanilla after all. The chocolate shell you crunch through with each bite was fun, tasty, and made the ice cream even better. The whole cone as handed to me just looked perfect too. Funny that they present dessert cones with such care as to look like art but can't wrap up a burger to save their lives... Fun Place

Wow what a nice find when I was working close-by. Been here since the 1930's!!!…read more I got the Bucket Burger Lettuce Wrap with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, thousand island. They don't normally do lettuce wraps because they shred their lettuce. But I got there early enough where they hadn't shredded all of their lettuce yet, and they were happy to accommodate me and make a lettuce wrap. Probably the best lettuce wrap burger I've ever had. My buddy got to Smashburger and he loved it. He also got the Americano fries. Bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, ranch dressing. I had some. YUM! No inside seating, but their outside seating is nicely shaded and they have fans. Service was super friendly and quick. They went out of their way to accommodate me. I'll be back when I'm close again.

No matter how long the lines were in Chinatown and the rush to order online as we waited for a time slot to open just to be able to have their food delivered during the store closures of COVID, we have never been able to find a hot chicken that can match their quality and flavors. We happened to be at Stone Brewing Tap Room in Pasadena and were getting hungry as we were enjoying the brews there and didn't want to leave. Enter Postmates! We ordered and received our food in approximately 20 minutes. All the food arrived hot, fresh and delicious! If you want to skip the line as they can be long at times, consider Postmates as it's super convenient and you'll receive your order with the same quality you would expect from eating at the restaurant. Also, this was the first time we ordered their banana pudding and it was delicious! Don't forget to order a couple of sides of their Comeback Sauce. It's to die for! It's the perfect dipping sauce for their crispy fries!

I got the mild and it was perfectly seasoned and went great with their ranch (pretty sure is also homemade). The reason for the 4.7 instead of a straight five is because my husband had some complaints about his food. He spoke about the chicken being great nothing wrong with it. However, the seasoning was just too much. He got the ch sicken in medium. He said that the seasoning felt like biting into sand. There was just too much. He ate our sons regularly chicken and said this was the best. So I recommend getting the mild and adding hot sauce on the side. There fries were fine nothing wrong but nothing to rave about either. The service was sooo nice. The guy helped us out so much. He found us a table inside to sit and he helped me take the food out and gave me a ranch because I could not go back in line to order (line was out the door). Great service. The ambiance were chill vibes great background music and super cute bathrooms. The whole place is a straight vibe.

Only about a 15min wait in line. Ordered w/Ryan who had such a great attitude & very welcoming. Ordered chicken sando (mild) fries, comeback & tang sauces. Food came out quickly. Chicken sando is big, great portion size of fries as well. Definitely can share. Normally I don't care for crinkle fries but they were fried & seasoned to perfection. Honorable mention to the staff behind the counter as well, every person I made eye contact with (although they were busy) returned a smile. I appreciate feeling welcomed. Great people & great food.

I decided Howlin Rays deserved my attention. There was already a line in place and they were playing some good music from the restaurant. When it came time for me to order, Ryan at the counter was very friendly to me. Everyone in the restaurant was. I really enjoyed that. I stuck with getting the mild sando, and didn't expect the chicken breast so gigantic! It was a delicious sandwich and the spice was pretty good. I'm glad I didn't go any spicier than that. I ordered the fries which were actually pretty good. They were definitely seasoned, but they weren't heavily in taste sense. They had something for me to drink and it went really well with a meal actually. I'm glad that I could say that I enjoyed this place from beginning to end. It is a little hidden, but luckily for me I found it. Definitely will come back to have my wife try it one day.
