The cost of the item did not really stand up to the quality paying five bucks for a thing of fries is crazy work, especially for a small batch of fries. I wouldn't even pay five dollars for McDonald's fries.

The NOW: The parking lot is a plus, their restroom isn't the best, but it's decent for a damn Wienerschnitzel. I was laughing at how you had to have special instructions to lock one of the doors, but it is what it is. Their staff was mostly consisted of a nice mixed variety of young workers who seem as if they want to actually work to pay for their expensive iPhones and Harry Styles concerts or whatever the hell them kids are into these days. The young Black lady with glasses helped me and she had a great personality doing so. Man! I got my food pretty damn fast! My order was a 6 piece jalapeño poppers and a regular size chili bacon ranch fries for a nostalgia mixed with present kind of meal. For what I paid, it wasn't bad at all and if you actually keep those coupons you get in the mail, you can actually get food cheaper here like back in the days too still!!! Very very cool! I still need to come back and try their other stuff like their Tastee Freez shakes, Sundaes, mini corn dogs, etc.. 5 stars for this not so bad, spacious and decently clean with great customer serviced Wienerschnitzel!!

This was my second time ordering via delivery, and the dogs really hit the spot. I went all in and ordered the Bigfoot fries along with three chili dogs. The Bigfoot fries were heavily loaded with toppings and came in a generous portion. It was a lot of food. Their fries are fridge stable too.

Ordered on Wednesday and reheated the leftovers on Friday night, and they tasted almost as good as they did the first night. Very impressed.

So talked about good timing! I stayed in the car while Hubbers put in his orders. It wasn't long before he was back in the car. Tacos were delicious. I tend to do away with the usual al pastor/asada and went for lengua and suadero. Both cooked tender and very minimal game taste. I tried the al pastor and that was packed with flavor. Hubbers opted against the fresh made tortillas but still delish. HEADS UP: there is an up-charge if you opt for the fresh made tortillas. Also got an horchata which was delish and a good drink to wash it all down. FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 3. VALUE: 2.5. Hubbers has the tendency to compare prices on all the taco stands we go to. He said they're pricier here. PARKING: Street. There's also a lot adjacent to their spot belonging to a couple of businesses. They're closed by the time the truck posts here, so all good. OVERALL: 3.

It's right on the corner with plenty of parking. When I walked in, there were quite a few people eating, which is always a good sign. I saw a few plates coming out of the kitchen that looked really good, so right away I was feeling pretty confident about the place. The lady at the counter was all business. Very serious, not much of a smile or pleasantries, but she gets the job done, and I can appreciate that. I ordered a cheeseburger and wanted a half order of onion rings, but they don't offer a half order, so I went with a half order of chili cheese fries instead. The chili cheese fries surprised me. A lot of burger spots have pretty bland chili cheese fries, but these actually had good flavor. I especially liked that they used very thinly shredded cheddar instead of those huge, thick strands of cheese that can get chalky once they cool down. Now the burger--the bun was nicely toasted, the lettuce had a good fresh crunch, tomato seemed fresh, pickles were good, and most importantly, the meat actually tasted like MEAT. It had plenty of flavor and was a very solid burger overall. My only knock is that I personally love a burger with that crispy, griddled texture around the edges. This one wasn't really crispy and was actually a tiny bit on the softer/mushier side. Not enough to ruin it by any means, but getting a little more crust on that patty would take it up another level for me. Overall, though, Olympic Flame made a good first impression. Solid cheeseburger, surprisingly tasty chili cheese fries, good portions, plenty of parking, and I saw enough other food coming out of that kitchen to make me curious. I'll definitely be back--not only for another burger, but to try some of the other stuff on the menu.

Their chicken is SOOOO crunchy, juicy and absolutely yummy! If you like heat I would recommend spicy for their sandwiches as the slaw and pickles help with the heat and makes it the perfect sandwich. For their tenders I would go mild and ask for sauce on the side as spicy is pretty painful even for someone that loves spicy. FYI I don't believe they do a la carte so every time you order it'll be with a side whether it's fries or fries and a biscuit.

Respectfully this review may sound harsh but it's 1000% truth…read more The burger...eww. Why? Low grade, FOUL smelling Jennio-O caliber meat quality at best. And desert dry at that. If you're okay with this, then have at it. But just remember this review when you smell this under seasoned chunk of rancid meat you just spent your hard earned money on. The first thing I noticed cutting into this burger was the scent. It was FOUL. And then I instantly remembered why it has been 2 years since I visited this place. Same experience. This meat cannot be fresh whatsoever. It stinks. But to no surprise, it mirrors the poor quality of the fries (mid at best) and the knock off hidden valley ranch disguised as a house ranch you have to pay extra for. TBH the idea of a burger spot specializing in turkey burgers is really unique and opens up options that are both simple and satisfying. However, the turkey-- where you buy it, how you store it and the overall quality is the star of the show, and this ain't it. Simply put, it's not for me. I could not eat this food. Not to mention I feel there is a bit of deflection on the workers part when a concern is politely brought to their attention. The food, guaranteed IS NOT FRESH. I recommend Chinollo across the street. Fresh, high quality and juicy farm raised meats paired with equally high quality sides made in house (not frozen), fresh veg, fresh hand cut fries, house made sodas, milk teas and teas; nothing reeks of left over food being sold at ransom prices
