    I was really excited to try their chili dogs. I mean this nicely, but it just wasn't that good for me. It looks great at first. Nice colors, solid ingredients. But once we ate it, it didn't quite come together. Please don't toast the bun for a chili dog. A softer bun would make a big difference. My boyfriend found this place and I did pickup. We're both chili dog fans and agreed the components were fine on their own. The dog itself was good quality, and the chili and onions were decent. It just lacked balance and that classic chili dog vibe. I'd say ease up on toasting the bun and don't be shy with seasoning to tie everything together. It has potential, just needs some adjustments. Honestly, I was disgruntled enough that I immediately ordered Wienerschnitzel afterward just to satisfy the craving properly.

    Super clean super yum plenty of parking

    Great service, super quick, bathrooms are like a mini hotel room, and the soda actuallly hits. Cant beat it! No drive thru but why not eat here anyway :)

    Carne Asada Fries

    Ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and the Asada fries. The Breakfast burrito was good and the salsa on the side made it even more tasty.. The asada fries however, looked like they used leftover meat and topped it on fries. What got me was the cheese was under the meat. Never seen fries like that before. No, pico de gallo or anything. It was still "ok" but seemed like something my 10year old would've made at home. The did provide sour crème and guacamole on the side. Haven't tried the burgers here which I'm sure they're more known for but i'd definitely skip the asada fries next time. Be advised, they have the option to add tip before food comes out even if you're opting for to-go instead of dining in. Be ready for that awkward moment when you select no tip.

    Pancakes were perfect. Well worth the price.

    New owner, new remodel, same name Rod's. It's been a while since I been here. Came here in the 1970's as a teen. The pancakes today were perfect, but that could be because the batter was freshly made. The key is making the batter right before you make the pancake. If they keep making pancakes like this, they will be better than the typical diner that has a pre-made bucket of batter that results in over-mixed batter and rubbery pancakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0KaKrMuebc&list=PLJtqfZR_aeBs&index=11

    Chicken Salad and Rod's Special

    Highly recommend to share the Rod's Special, too much for only 1 person. Very flavorful breakfast burrito, topped with chili, cheese, avocado and sour cream.

    Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger and French Fries

    A neighborhood Char-broiler spot that looks consistent and clean. Tasty burgers, seasoned fries (places like this sometimes don't) and the teriyaki sandwich was passable. Will likely spot by again if craving this specific burger craving! Parking was easy and seating outside and inside.

    The individual boxes they pack their food in.

    Terrible charbroiled burgers. My bread was over toasted. And expensive at that. I grew up eating here Saturday afternoons and the menu has changed after all these years. It's simpler and basic. How is a combo almost 20 dollars but the burger is tiny! Looks like a Jr. And they package everything in separate boxes for the "aesthetic" I assume. Chilli cheese fries barely had any chili. The lady that took the order was kind, I have no complaints on the service. Save yourself the trouble and visit Tom's, Lucky star or even Pigg

    Double Cheeseburger with 1000 Dressing on side

    The food delivery from Grub Hub arrived quickly. I underestimated this burger. I ordered the Double Cheeseburger. It was a lot! I couldn't finish it all. I ordered medium well and received it that way. Enjoyed it. If ever in the area, give them a try.

    My niece is in town and wanted to visit one of her childhood haunts. She was a bit disappointed that the original owner and long-term staff are no longer there but it's been years so it's to be expected. She missed the Greek influence in their food selection but ordered a pastrami sandwich and zucchini fries for us to share. Both were good but a bit on the greasy side. The ranch dressing that came with the zucchini fries was rich, creamy and tasty. Rod's offers comfort food directed at the younger generation (due to grease level ;) )

    This burger spot was highly recommended to us by a friend so I decided to try it out. Right off the bat, I can appreciate that they have lots of different options with fresh ingredients. They have sandwiches, salads, and the most standout thing for me is the zucchini fries. I don't think there's anything ground breaking about their burgers, I got a jr. burger and zucchini fries. But it did feel more on the healthier fresh side with the bun and patty not being too oily. But if I want a burger I would rather have it taste better with more flavorful sauces and a juicy patty. And the cheese wasn't super melty. Tasted like a backyard burger.

    What ranch dressing do you use? It's so good!

    We are glad that you like it, it is a basic recipe based on mayonnaise and butter milk, we make it every other day for more than 40 years, the Greek oregano that we mix in makes the difference.

    This burger joint is delicious. My burger and fries were the "Bomb.com". Nice Ambiance and good…read morecustomer service. It's at the Del Amo Mall in Torrance and right next to an AMC Movie theater so after eating you can relax and kick back watching a movie or burn some calories while walking through this huge mall. I can't wait to go back and try other burgers on the menu.

    Decided to try this place out prior to seeing a movie at the AMC theater. It was open seating…read more Seated ourselves at a table overseeing the main street of the Del Amo Mall. The time was 4pmsh and it was happy hour. Not sure if Happy hour is all day .. but just assumed happy hour before 5pm lol. Was not not crowded at this time. Our server and bartender was named Anthony. He was really nice. He asked us what we wanted to drink. I ordered a Miller lite and my wife order some type of cocktail. He came back with our drinks and they were absolutley refreshing! He asked us what we wanted to eat. I ordered a 50/50 slater burger and my wife ordered a PBJ burger (Peanut butter Jelly). We took a bite and we were not dissapointed! The PBJ burger was a taste like no other! Actually my first time ever. It a actually was delicious. Overall, stayed here for almost 2 hours. Mike the bartender was absolutely a cool dude, we socialized for 15 minutes. He came to our table to talk. He is from Long Beach. Kudos to him for a great experience at Slater 50/50. This place absolutely rocks! The meals and drinks were affordable. The ambiance felt warm and comfortable. If you are in the area, dont sleep on this place. It has good food and good people. Try out a peanut butter jelly hamburger for the first time in your life! You won't regret it. Thumbs up to this establishment.

    I should have followed my listened to my hanger pangs…read more "I felt like eating Jollibee." I tell my Mom. "But if you have a better idea, let's go somewhere else." She made a suggestion and we tried something new. Long story short: that was a horrible idea. A one-and-done place. But at least, we know better. But I had to get my fix. The Carson location is my usual go-to, but I happen to be in this area so it was convenient. I went online, put my orders in, all good and ready to go when I arrived during pick up time! Still hot when I arrived home, and that first bite of that crispy fried chicken finally took care of the bad taste caused by that eatery I went to the day before. Gravy made it even better! Still my favorite fried chicken, hands down. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 5. Shout out to Christine! VALUE: 4. PARKING: Plenty. Not an issue. OVERALL: 4.5. This place is poppin'. Most of the tables were occupied on a Saturday afternoon. I stopped wondering decades ago. TIP: Sign up on the app for points. I got a free pie and side from it! And they never expire! (I think, I might need to check on that...) Will always return.

    It's been a while since I've been to Jollibee and Friday I was craving fried chicken and Jollibee…read morereally does have the juiciest and most flavor fried chicken. Their ChickenJoy indeed brings me joy. I love the convenience of the app and being able to drive thru and pick up my order is the best. I am also a fan of their pineapple quencher. The food and the convenience definitely gets the three stars. Sadly two stars off for the young lady working at the drive thru window. She was completely disengaged and seemed annoyed that me pulling up to pick up my order disrupted her working on her nails because right after she handed me my order she immediately went back to her nails. No smile. Just a dead look in her eyes. Hopefully not all the employees are this way.
