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.

The fries are nice and crispy. Huge portions. Enough for leftovers the next day and the best part is no soggy bread, lettuce was still green and the tomato was still firm. Burgers are also great here, but if you love a great club sandwich definitely recommend checking out Nicks. The staff is friendly, the food is great, and prices are reasonable. Definitely will be back!

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.

It's located inside the Haven City Market through the main entrance on the left hand side. Plenty of seating at the bar and also there's a good amount of tables next to the stall. I'm lactose intolerant so when I eat dairy products I hope it's worth it. This place was definitely not a let down, blew me away with how amazing the meal was. 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.

The morning cook is always so nice to me and flashes me a big smile everytime I visit. Definitely a spot to try if you're craving burgers and fries.

They have a self ordering kiosk and I ordered the Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich (9.99). I did dine in and they have a couple tables inside to sit at. The food was ready in about 10 minutes which is quick. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, the chicken quality is as good as the first time I ate it. 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.

Then this was the spot for lunch where we would always get the cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. It's an extremely mom and pop shop. Burgers give the vibes of the hat.

I always suggest this place for people in that area. Been going since the 90s, why stop?

Reminds me of the burgers at Carl's Jr. and Burger King - a classic style, no frills burger. Cooked fresh, large and filling. Fries are plenty enough for even two people. This is a solid, no nonsense place if you're hungry and on a budget. Check it out.

The last time we came, he ordered the chili fries and I ordered an avocado burger. By the time we got home -- only a 10-minute drive -- my burger was cold and the bun was soggy. Yesterday, my husband ordered his usual chili cheese fries, and I ordered the club sandwich (no mayo). Again, by the time we got home, my sandwich was soggy. The bread was soaked and everything fell apart. Unfortunately, this isn't the quality we remember. I won't be coming back, at least not for myself. The drive-thru experience also wasn't great. It was extremely busy, with a line backed up outside like In-N-Out. One employee was taking about five orders at a time, running inside to give the tickets, then coming back out to take more orders. It seemed very rushed and unorganized.
