    Hercules Burgers, Lynwood, Ca
    Maureen Y.

    Here we go again... went to Hercules Burger on Lynwood, ordered a pastrami combo with onion rings Pastrami was dry and they decided to give me all their old ass onion rings that probably was sitting there for hours. Again, I will never understand why the health department don't monitor these fast food establishments. $25.88 for a dry pastrami and old onion rings with a root beer. Time to take lots of time away from fast food!!! My husband and I start eating pastrami so no photos of it

    Sorry for the bad presentation. We dug right in. Everything was cooked to perfection.

    I come to this location about every other week. They are always consistent. The people working the drive thru are always friendly and the food is delicious. Today my son got the steak and eggs breakfast plate and I ordered the chorizo and egg burrito. This is one of the best places in Lynwood to get the chorizo and egg burrito. The ratios are just right and the hash browns were nice and crispy. I always have a good experience when I come here. Will continue to frequent this business.

    Drive-through menu

    Got an order of onion rings and it was bomb like a mountain of onion rings they were all friendly like always love this place

    A wet burrito

    The burrito was horrible I asked for an asada wet burrito and I got a ground beef cold burrito.. maybe get real steak and make asada burritos..I tried eating it because I was hungry but the best thing on the burrito was the tortilla..

    They need to update their prices. Menus said $10.99 and $5 for combo upgrade? And they want to charge card fee on top of that : / $12 combo ended up being almost $20. Food over all is either hit or miss. I've had good meals and I've had ball meals. Only thing I really like is their breakfast burrito.

    Jr. Burger, small fries, small chili cheese fries

    Food was really good, it was nice and warm when it arrived. I definitely recommend this place. Customer service is great as well

Jim's is the only Burger Joint to charge this much for a slice of cheese!!!! Did the milk come from a cow made of Gold?

I had no expectations for this place, just walked in because Starbucks was closed and it was like a 50's themed diner/antique shop inside. The place was clean and fully staffed and there was a drive-thru. I ordered their sausage and egg breakfast sandwich on sour dough and needed the code to the restroom or the key and was on my way. Later in the day I got hungry and opened up the sandwich and it was perfect. It tasted like a good home made breakfast sandwich and looked amazing and tasted fresh. I got a photo of the cross section of the sandwich and it was immaculate. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a very good burger or meal on the go that's not a chain and it's actually better than a chain. Also, the restroom was clean with no weird smells so I recommend their restroom too if you're on the go. My order was ready by the time I came out of the restroom so they are also really quick.

Finally the 3rd time they responded, they start arguing, apparently my order was done a long time ago, and it was given to someone else.
