Drive thru is super slow.. not sure why it takes forever to get one item.. usually i can get though here in 10-15 but not today on a Saturday, very frustrating

Loaded LA Staple Fries

I was looking for a burger spot late one night, but didn't want one from a chain; stumbled upon reviews for this spot, and decided to give it a try. At first glance, this joint looks spiffy and well maintained; it even has a nice Kobe mural on the property. I proceeded to the drive thru, which was the only way to order, and was delighted by the menu options - burgers, chicken sandwiches and tenders, salads, shakes, and fry options. I opted for a cheeseburger, and the Fantastic fries, which came out pretty quickly. The presentation was great, but that's kind of where it stopped. The burger was okay; clean and well portioned, but the patty lacked flavor. The Fantastic fries were well served and could easily be shared with two to three people; but the fries were a bit soggy. Overall, I wasn't overly impressed, but it sure beats the traditional fast food options.

Always pass by this place the artwork on the walls has always caught my attention. They only have outdoor seating but they have an awning covering all tables. They have a good sized menu covering breakfast, lunch and dinner. We went with the lunch combo and La staple fries. Both really good servings for the price. Lunch combo came with a cheeseburger, fries, 2 tenders with a dipping sauce and a cookie. The fries had pastrami and chili cheese. Tables were constantly being cleaned and the sun was hitting the tables, a worker came out and pulled down the shades. Would recommend you try Atleast once

I had an adequate experience at Eat Fantastic (Arcadia). I ordered The G.O.A.T. Burger ($12.24). It's a double cheeseburger with pickles, grilled onions, and sauce. It's a BIG, thick burger, but it came drenched in a puddle of its own grease. The cooks cooked it perfectly, but its meat is extremely oily. I arrived at Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) on Monday (around 9:48AM). The business has its own small parking lot; I counted about 13 parking spots. The location also has a drive-thru. It's a very POPULAR spot! Staff is very friendly and diligent. Staff immediately helped me, and I felt welcomed. My food arrived in four minutes and six seconds. As mentioned, I ordered The G.O.A.T. Burger ($12.24). If the ingredients were fresher, it would have been a much better experience. Still, there's an appreciated juicy, meat flavor since it's cooked well. Unfortunately, it's also a very messy burger that's drenched in its own grease. I had that annoying oily aftertaste desperately clinging onto me after this meal. I felt the urge to shower after eating. On ambiance, Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) is lovely. Although it's odd how no music played, I appreciated the big flat screen television displaying the baseball game. The location is also kid friendly since I counted a few high chairs for kids. Also, it's well-shaded, airy, and clean. I appreciate the hard effort towards making this dining area spotless and comfortable. In addition, Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) has about 10 tables and one long table. Also, there's a nearby gender neutral restroom for customers. Overall, Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) has potential. Although the meat tastes cheap, it's prepared at an exemplary level. Maybe I'll return in the future, but as of now, it's just an adequate option for customers that like affordable but very greasy food. 3.9 out of 5

Came here with a group after a kids baseball game. Eating area is only the tables outside. You order the food first on the app or at the window then wait to pick up your food at the other window. We ordered a cheeseburger, a lunch box with fantastic burger upgrade. The lunchbox has good amount of food - burger, 2 chicken tenders, fries and a cookie. The burgers are made to order and they are great - both the basic cheese burger and the fantastic burger with bacon and avocado. I really liked the ranch sauce here. Only thing weird is we asked for water and guy said we need to pay for it? Other than that it's a decent dining experience.

CALCULATE YOUR TOTAL BEFORE PAYING. I ordered a Fantastic Burger ($12) with an order of fries ($4) and the total before tax is $16. When asked if I wanted the combo, I specifically stated I did not want it which would have included a burger, fries, and drink ($18). The total requested was $19.89. When I asked why the total was that much, the cashier explained it was due to tax. Tax is NOT almost $4. The conversation went back and forth, then the cashier finally redid the order and charged me correctly for $17.68. He added, "is the price better now?" No, the price is not better now, it's correct now. The cashier argued that the combo is cheaper and easier for the kitchen. He's right, the combo IS cheaper than ordering ALL THREE items separately, but I only wanted the burger and fries. The receipt in the order says I ordered the combo and I didn't want a drink, so I should still pay for the combo price. Make it make sense, the math ain't mathing. ------ Food was not bad, not worth either prices.

Awesome onion rings, thick sliced onion with a light crunchy batter. Served with delicious ranch dressing.

Eat Fantastic Cafe is known for Quality fresh ingredients. The best onion rings around town. They have a very clean outdoor sitting area. The bathroom is gender neutral and locked so it stays nice for customers. Location is easy to get in and out staff is very friendly.

Huge fan of the zucchini sticks, pastrami, melt sandwich, lemonade, and fruity pebbles milkshake here!! They have such a good variety and there's something for everyone in the family to enjoy! It's a fast casual spot with plenty of tables outside to eat at.

So I wanted something aside from In-N-Out and yelp recommended Eat Fantastic. I ordered the GOAT burger. It's an absolute killer, very flavorful, think this is what Five Guys set out to be but failed miserably. And then I also ordered the Fantastic Fries and a Choco Shake. So, Im going to be honest about the fries, it was too much of a portion. Think 3 people can share one order of fries. At first, it's your typical cheddar melt bacon fried but the more you try to eat it, the more you find it to be on the greasier side, and so I threw 2/3s of the box away. Chocolate shake was excellent. Overall, yes, it's a decent burger joint but for three items I think I paid 28.00 + so ehhhhhhh; if I'm having mad cravings yes. But I think I will stick to In-N-Out for the time being.

House Salad with chicken

This place was so delicious. Wasn't feeling a burger this trip so I ended up getting a chicken salad. The dressing was so good! The salad had so many fresh veggies! I loved it. Very refreshing. My hubby had a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries, and I tasted both. Burger was juicy and the fries were very flavorful! The staff is super nice, and very helpful with what we should get. My husband was craving something sweet and she recommended a chocolate smoothie. Definitely worth it! The place is very nicely decorated for each holiday, and very clean! Good size for bigger parties. Loved the tv with the split screen. I thought that was pretty cool!

G.O.A.T burger $11 + Fries $4
RoseMary F.

I drive by this spot fairly often, it stands out due to the mural of Kobe Bryant on their property. Usually, there is a decent number of customers in the patio and cars waiting in the drive-thru line. I didn't have my mind set on what to order. Then I saw the G.O.A.T. on the menu and went for the combo. I was very pleased with my choice. It is made with Colby Jack Cheese, Double Beef Patty with mustard that is fried right onto the meat, Pickles, Grilled Onions, then topped with their signature Fantastic sauce. This burger was FANTASTIC, I couldn't finish but was happy to have the leftovers for lunch the next day. $10.24 burger only, or $16.24 for a combo (fries & drink). Add-ons for a nominal charge: Bacon, Chili, Pastrami, Egg, Avocado. Upgrade fries to Onion Rings or Zucchini Sticks $3, or Tater Tots for $2. They have a "Secret" menu with items such as, the Hangover Burger, Chipotle Jalepeno Burger, Avocado Toast, and a Big Boy Plate, to name a few. They are open 7 days a week for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and late night food runs til Midnight! They have an App for placing advance orders and earning reward points. There is a private parking lot and patio seating (no indoor dining area). The restaurant is clean and the employees were helpful. Sincerely, Rosemary

The name does speak for itself, Fantastic! I went here for lunch with my family. The food was tasty. The ambiance was clean and inviting.

2 Box
Christel L.

Been here a couple times whilst waiting to pick up people from LAX (5-10 min drive away). The most recent time I just needed a quick bite and got the 2 tender box. Tenders were huge and juicy, fries were crispy and good too. Service was in good time. Ate on the patio (there's seating both inside and outside) to enjoy the view of the plaza it's in. Ample parking adjacent to the building as well. Will likely return to try more items on the menu.

Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food. They gave us a bunch of them in bags. Everything was good, I would say that my favorite is still their zucchini fries and ranch, I love their ranch and glad they gave us a couple containers because I needed more. Definitely a great bite to grab, I think I prefer snacks from here like their huge portion of fries but their burgers are really good as well.

My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.

I've had this on my list so we arrived yesterday at 1 pm and added our name on the waitlist. The queue wasn't long and got seated within 5-10 mins.

They have new items and they were buy 1 get 50% off so we got 2 orders of shrimp ebi which were delicious!! I tried the ramen and the soup was flavorful and noodles were also pretty good I would say for a ramen the dish was rich and velvety of that makes sense. I might need to go back to try the ramen dishes because I prefer that than the omurice. I think I had a better omurice but the whole presentation is still worthy to try out either way. Very filling too if you're hungry. Overall highly recommended to try if you are in the area or passing by.

The highlight for me is definitely the spicy hand-pulled noodles with slow-cooked beef brisket. The noodles have that perfect, chewy pull, and the brisket is super tender and packed with flavor. Don't skip the pickled cucumber either--it's crisp, refreshing, and balances out the heat of the noodles perfectly. It wasn't crowded at all when I went, which made for a relaxed meal with quick, attentive service. The only slight catch is the shared parking lot, it gets pretty busy with all the other restaurants in the plaza, so you might have to circle once or twice during peak hours. Still, definitely worth the stop if you're craving legit Xi'an eats in the area.

We don't usually see specific Xi'an food around all the time, so my fiancé and I were excited to come back. Now we know, Xi'an Foodie has delicious, authentic Xi'an food here at affordable prices as well. We go all out when we are trying somewhere new for the first time usually, so we got 5 dishes for less than $75 including tax and tip. We ordered the 1) Smashed Cucumber Salad 黄瓜, 2) Sesame Sauce Cold Spicy Noodle 凉拌辣面, 3) Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍, 4) Li Lao San's Cumin Lamb Hamburger / 李老三孜然羊汉堡, and 5) Youpo Noodles with Braised Beef Brisket, Beef Paste & Fried Eggs with Tomato / 油泼+三合一. First, they have the best Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) in SoCal that I've had - they are amazingly chewy and wide, and their tangy savory sauce is the best. When I think about liangpi, I'm definitely going to Xi'an food for another slurp of these noodles mmmm! I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful. They brought all of our dishes out in less than 10 minutes and our whole table was filled. We ordered way too much food, and we know it, so we got to take it all home to enjoy for another meal. We will definitely be coming back for their lamb stew, liang pi, and wide noodles!

Clearly I wanted to like it so bad that I came back five times because I had a wishlist of five food items I wanted to try. However, each time unfortunately just got progressively more disappointing. My first time here, I had the shrimp tacos which were good but very small. I also had a Jasmine Refresher, which was delightful! My second time, I had the pesto chicken sandwich which was also pretty good but nothing to crave or write home about. My partner and I also shared some poutine which was soggy, and glued together by a blanket of cheese. Someone might like that but it was ultimately disappointing to me. Additionally, the service was slow but I was forgiving because it was lunchtime. My third time, I came late with my partner and sister. This time, was not overly busy, but the service was even slower. I had the spinach and artichoke grilled cheese that I had super high hopes for. It was really greasy and again, nothing to write home about. It might just not have been what I was expecting. My fourth time, I shared street tacos and a soup & salad with my partner. Again, tacos were tiny and greasy. They were also made with one corn tortilla each? Y'all know if you're using tiny baby corn tortillas, you need two or it's gonna rip. The salad was fine. The soup was like a mystery vegetable situation with cheese. I still don't remember what it was. Tonight, my final time, I finally tried their The State burger. The bottom bun was wet. My friend got their maple glazed chicken with risotto which she said was salty and she opted not to take leftovers home. We both got the Girl Next Door cocktails which were fine. I was feeling gooooood. So, I've finally come to the ultimate conclusion that this place is more about their drinks and the chill, intimate (albeit kinda dark and slow sometimes) ambiance. I don't know how this one compares to other locations but it ultimately feels like someone had the IDEAS of gourmet food, but they just can't execute it. I wouldn't say people should never come here... only that Basin 141 down the street is similar, more casual, and seems to know how to execute so be a regular there instead. Sorryyyyy.
