Had another craving for my favorite. This time had them add Pastrami (chopped and fried) and there was just no missing with this. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The tacos were good as well. Can't remember the last time ai ate ground beef tacos. Service was top tier as usual. Place had walk- in's Dine-in's and a consistent drive-thru that gave the place a very good vibe.

Gotta Try Their Chili Cheese Fries. Ooey-gooey, Cheesy, And The Chili Is The Perfect Flavor And Spice Level (Not Too Spicy, Not Sweet At All, Minimal Heartburn). I Get Mine With The Spicy Yellow Peppers On The Side (You Can Get It With Pastrami As Well). Sometimes The Cheese Doesn't Melt Right Away, So Let It Sit In The Box Closed Up For About 5-10 Mins Before Enjoying . Pretty Good Customer Service, Love The Afternoon-Night Crew. Always Smiling Or Punctual. I Order Mine With A Strawberry Soda (Used To Get The Vanilla Shake, But They Din't Offer Them Anymore !! Fyi ). Drive Thru Or Sit Down Is Good, Same Service.

I've been coming to this Hercules location for well over 10 years. The only item that I've ever ordered from here is the chili cheese fries with pastrami on top. Which is extremely fire. When this location was in my work route I used to come here once a week. But that was quite some time ago. It's been almost 2 years since my last visit at this location. And I gotta admit I've been missing it every sense. This visit I got my regular pastrami chili cheese fries. Which were 100% on point. In addition I tried one of the burgers as well which tastes great. Whenever I'm in the area which is extremely seldom nowadays I have to pay them a visit. I look forward to next time I'm local so I can devour another pastrami chili cheese fries. read more

The building is located right on Imperial, and parking is available down the small side street, in a little lot behind the kitchen, or in a vacant lot next to the kitchen lot. You walk up to what looks like a house, and order, and wait for your number. There's nowhere really to sit, and there doesn't seem to be inside dining, so I sat on the curb and waited until my number was called. In that time, plenty of people stopped by to grab their orders, and some checked out the little store next door that seems to have just about everything you could possibly need, but you have to get it through the fence. The women who took my order and handed it to me were very friendly, the food was hot and fresh, and it is VERY reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. The fries are EXACTLY what I look for! Thick, super crunchy, perfectly salted, and you get a generous amount. The Fat Burger was made exactly as I ordered it, and had that perfect "neighborhood burger joint" greasiness and char that made it amazing. Everything came carefully packed in a box so I could eat it on the way home, and I got plenty of napkins and ketchup (though I hate ketchup!). These are the places that make LA great, and I will definitely go back again to try other items, and to support what is the one of the oldest consistently running Black owned restaurants in the country (started in 1939!), now run by a woman (daughter of the original owner!), and USC alum! Fight on!
