    Hamburger and chili fries

    First time, for a "Drive up" on the border of El Monte in Baldwin Park, great customer service. Very welcoming, also, impressed with the other menu items, Pastrami, Fish plate., etc, just don't forget cash only. Prices are very reasonable. It's like Home made, fries are fresh stay longer, unlike the commercial burger joints, that dries up when you drive off.

    Price for burger combo & single

    Fries are majorly under-seasoned. Also taste like it's been sitting for a while and then refried. Very crispy but not creamy at all, if you're into that texture. Burger is pretty solid. They don't skimp on sauce but not overly saucy either. Pretty average neighborhood burger place. A few fyis: This place is cash only. Outside seating area. No restroom even for customers. No refills on drinks.

    This place is a landmark in El Monte. I remember when I was in middle school walking to Bill's after school with my friends to grab some burgers. Today when I got off work I was pretty hungry, but I was craving a burger so I decided to stop by and grab something to eat to take home. It had been a while since I ate at Bill's so I decided to stop and grab me something. The burgers here are really good there's no doubt about that. I do feel like they are a little pricey though. They also serve breakfast I notice lots of people go there for their breakfast. I have never tried it, but it must be good. I ordered a double cheeseburger meal with extra cheese, and a side of onion rings and that came out to $20. They also charge you $.50 per ranch if you ask for one. I asked for two and the lady charged me $1.20 I'm guessing the $.20 was for tax. Everything tasted delicious. The fries we're perfectly done. They had a nice crunch on them and the onion rings had a great batter on them. They were well seasoned. They also accept phone orders in case you're in a hurry. they also have indoor and outdoor seating. But most importantly, don't forget that they only accept cash, no credit cards.

    This spot is a staple in Monte. Every city has their burger joint and I feel like this is the place here. It's been here for as long as I can remember and the chefs been at it for the time running. It's cash only but they have an atm outside. You can sit inside or outside. It's a little pricey but what isn't these days. The ONLY thing that gets me is it says it opens at 7am but that NEVER happens. The service is great once they're open though.

    Pastrami and fries

    Today was my first time here and it was all around a really positive experience. They took our order quickly & correctly. The food was delicious - perfect pastrami. Great fries. Good soda even. The outdoor seating is very small. But it is completely shaded, plenty of parking. And the place was clean! - the worker came by to clean the table just as we sat down. I'd come back!

Called in my order and it was ready when I got there, which I appreciate. I ordered a big cheeseburger for my daughter. I didn't get a bite, but she basically inhaled the whole thing, so I'm gonna assume it did its job. I ordered a breakfast burrito with no potatoes, which in hindsight was 100% my fault. What I picked up was basically a flour tortilla taco with a couple dried pieces of bacon and a little cheddar rattling around inside. Not great. Pretty sure this burrito only makes sense with hash browns or potatoes holding it together. Lesson learned. Prices were fair, staff was genuinely nice, and luckily the burrito was under $10--so no real damage done. Was I disappointed? Yeah. Was I shocked? Not at all. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I needed a burger, was nearby, and everything else was closed, I'd have no problem stopping in. Sometimes you just need a burger spot, and this is one of those.

You can either order at the counter or sit at the bar where someone will come take your order. I ordered the Double Smash Amboy style with the fries/drink combo. Food The meat in the burger was perfectly cooked, ultra juicy and flavorful. The melted cheese combined with their burger sauce is heavenly. You get a little acidity from the sauce and pickles to combat the heaviness of the burger. Grilled onions wasn't overpowering and had amazing flavor. Fries were amazing, it's incredibly crispy and thin which is my favorite. Ketchup provided as a side but I dipped some of the fries in the burger sauce/cheese. Seems like a quick meal kind of place so I don't expect amazing service. But the girl working the counter was pretty friendly and checked in a few times.

But maybe because I wasn't as hungry so it didn't taste as good. The chicken patty seemed a bit less juicy than last time though. But still a pretty good chicken sandwhich although pricier than other places, it does have an Asian taste to it compared to western places. I think this is still a good spot for crispy chicken sandwich in the SGV. I think the Monterey Park location tasted better though.

Though compared to the OG location, this place feels much corporate but there's indoor dining. Though, a bonus tip is to check their socials for any promos prior. The interior and color palatte of the place are very similar. The main difference is that Tommy's has more menu items and all of them center around chilli. Which is why Tommy's is slighty more expensive due to the added chili that's typically the default. It's a good opinion for late night if you think In-and-Out is too crowded. The chili is decent. Compared to other places, the burger and chilis are greasier (which is how I like it) but it does seem certain facilities are dated. Not as good as the one in Rampart but it scratches an itch.
