    Chili cheeseburger and French Fries
    Andrew T.

    After having my plans for the day ruined, I found myself at Tommy's. My friend and I got a chili cheese burger and fries. The burger was greasy and a bit messy but pretty solid with a well portioned amount of chili. The chili was not overpowering and the burger was nice and warm. Shockingly, it came out in less than five minutes after ordering which was perfect because I was starving. The fries were decent. Personally, I liked the bigger fries because they were thicker. Overall, they had the perfect amount of salt. It's a very clean and organized interior that reminds me of In-N-Out. The cashier was nice, no problems with them.

    I stopped by this Tommy's location finally after 4 years of working in Simi Valley. It also been over 10 years since I last ate a Tommy's burger. This location is very close to my work office and I was in the plaza at the bank. So today was the day for me to finally try their burger again. When I came, there was no one else here so I think I was their first customer of the day. I got the double chessburger and asked for no chilis or onion. There was just 1 worker there today and he prepared my order. The inside colors remind me of In N Out because it looks so similar and this location still have the soda fountain machine. My burger didn't take long to make and I ate it at the office. I thought the burger was decent, it's not my favorite burger but it was a good lunch. I personally like their fries but it been a while since I last had it and the price is high.

    Cheeseburger and Chili Cheese Fries

    I hope you know why you're coming here. This is not a burger with avocado, sprouts and a side of veggies. Yes, chili and fries! Probably so bad for you, but so good! Yes, it's a rare treat.

    Today's 2-for-1 Chili Cheeseburger, with extra Chili, and Fries!

    So... I just can't resist Tommy's Promos! As a USC student in the early eighties, I spent many of late evenings at The Original Tommy's on Beverly and Rampart. Their chili is to die for and is still the same after all these years. Today they had the two chili-cheeseburgers for the price of one. As always, I asked for extra chili to dip my fries in, and their excellent staff loaded them up. Fries and a ton of whole yellow peppers (are you listening In-N-Out) were more than I could handle. I appreciate how clean and they keep the place; especially with all this chili slopping around!

    Breakfast Burrito.

    All I want to say is that the breakfast burrito is the most amazing indulgent breakfast item I've ever had. It was so good so delicious. Thank you for letting me have this guilty pleasure at 12 in the afternoon. We went through the drive-thru (service was fast) and weren't planning on getting breakfast but we noticed they are serving breakfast all day and this was our chance to try it. Also I watched the cook using real eggs and scrambling them herself. I knew right there I made the right choice.

    The Top Bun is all soggy and only about 1/2 is even there.

Just inside the door it was obvious to get a place to sit you better be seated "now!" Everyone was eating, tables were covered with food, it looked great. Our order was taken, the person taking the order was quick, to the point and was not asking how my mother was doing. We were there to eat-not socialize. The receipt was ripped off and passed over with a flick. No instruction given like 'they'll call your number' or 'you pick up over there.' In the next 5 minutes if you paid attention for about 20 seconds you learned how things worked. It was busy, plates looked great and the aroma inside the place was something else. Our food came quick, we sat and began to peel open our pastrami dip sandwiches. Oh, they smelled great. They looked great. The meat was delicious, melt-in-your mouth tender. They did notice us! They like us! I could not imagine how much better a pastrami sandwich could have been. The bread was very good too-you know the Earl of Sandwich was onto to something way back when....the combination of meat and bread was great. The Hat has numerous other locations in the LA area...if you want a beyond generous sandwich you must stop and order the pastrami.

The pastrami burger and onion rings were the highlights for me. The onion rings were super crispy with a nice, light batter. The burger hit the spot too. The fries were a bit underwhelming though, kind of bland and definitely needed more seasoning. Overall, a solid stop if you're craving pastrami, but I'd skip the fries next time.

The food was just so-so, and maybe I just chose wrong? The name "California Bowl" to me doesn't suggest a particular type of Asian cuisine, so I was confused about there not being dumplings. The only kind they really have are the shape of potstickers, but they are only fully fried. I ended ordering the Shrimp Udon, and it was just okay. Challenging to eat without getting broth everywhere, actually. DH and I did share an order of the fried dumplings and they were too well cooked for my preference. DH wasn't in the mood for sushi, but I think that would have been a better choice here that the noodles. I'd personally like more vegetables as part of the offerings. The restaurant was clean. Service was okay, if on the austere side. I was still craving the food from my new local favorite place when we left after our short visit to California Bowl.

It's been around forever and they are very generous with their portion sizes for the price. Their gyoza sauce is delicious, it's sweet and very addictive. My only complaint is that the man at the front isn't very friendly and always seems very reluctant when I ask for extra gyoza sauce. I've mentioned multiple times that I'm willing to pay for additional sauce, but he still begrudgingly gives it to me. It does make me hesitate to go in as often because I feel like I have to practically beg for enough sauce to fully enjoy my meal. Aside from that, everyone else has always been very nice and polite. Overall, it's a great restaurant with delicious food.

So, I dropped by Chick-fil-A in Simi Valley to try their much-recommended Cob Salad with Avocado and Lime Dressing. The lettuce was fresh and was enhanced by newly cooked fried and chopped chicken breasts with tomatoes, and other condiments. The salad was cased in a plastic container and was fully closed in a transparent manner. I also ordered 3 chicken breast fillets and tomato catsup; the chicken was fresh and was hot to the touch when it was served. I'd like to specially mention the smoking ladies at the front desk who took our orders. They were excellent ambassadors to the barns who made us comfortable as we experienced our first time to dine at the store.

I was excited to see what all the hype was about, so I decided to stop by this Jack-in-the-Box to get some of these advertised items. As I approach this Jack-in-the-Box, I was pleased to see how well kept the grounds were and how well lit the Jack-in-the-Box signage was surrounding the building. I ordered their monster tacos and mummy-wrapped tacos along with a "witch please" shake and some French fries. The young lady that took my order was professional and friendly. As I waited for my order, I was pleased to see how clean the inside of the dining area was...In fact it was spotless! All the tables were wiped down and clean and all the seats were clean as well. Although the dining area was pleasant, it was not as well lit as I would've liked it to be. It was quite dark inside for a fast-food restaurant. My order took a little longer than I expected because there was a rush of customers that came in around dinner time, at the same time I did. Upon receiving my order, the cashier apologized for the wait. It wasn't too long of a wait considering how many people there were inside. When I got home, I was pleased to see everything that I had ordered in my to-go bag. Everything I ordered was good, however the tacos were not what I expected. Although the monster tacos and the mummy-wrapped tacos were delicious, they were certainly not filled as much as I thought they would be from the advertisement I received. I believe the staff at this Jack-in-the-Box can do a little better by being more generous when filling their tacos for their customers. Overall I had a good experience here, but I think there's room for improvement at this Jack-in-the-Box. If the dining area at this location was more illuminated inside and they were a little more generous in filling their tacos this would've been a five-star review for me.
