    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.

    The burgers bacon cheese are delicious and the chille cheese fries are yummy. I've also have had the club sandwich which hits the spot.

    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.

So when we heard they were opening a new location in the Redondo Village, we were excited. Even more so to learn they'd be offering dinner and cocktails as well. For a newly opened location, we were thrilled to see they were already well staffed. Coffee and water were served quickly, giving us time to look over the menu. The moment I closed the menu, a server was right there ready to take our order. It was really busy when we visited, so we expected a wait for our food, but no, 10 minutes later our omelette and eggs Benedict arrived. A few minutes after that, the owner stopped by to chat, and we learned how they were able to open the restaurant so quickly. (Turns out it wasn't quick at all, they'd been looking for a location for quite some time.) We were so impressed that we went back two days later for a late afternoon sandwich. The Village was already thriving, but with Martha's here, it just keeps getting better.

    I made a reservation on OpenTable for 4 to celebrate my daughters eighteenth birthday, around…read more3:30pm the place was very nice, people in the inside seating area were saying happy birthday to my daughter as we walked passed t I am extremely disappointed with my experience and feel that this restaurant nearly ruined a special birthday celebration due to a fee that was never disclosed in advance. When I made the reservation, I clearly stated that it was for a birthday lunch and that we would be bringing a small 5-inch round birthday cake. At no point during the reservation process was I informed of any cake-cutting fee, nor was it disclosed anywhere that I saw when booking. After being seated and reviewing the menu, our waitress approached the table and said, "Just so you know, we charge a $30 cake-cutting fee." I politely explained that we would not need anyone to cut or serve the cake, so the fee would not be necessary. She then informed me that it was restaurant policy and said she would have the manager explain it. The manager came to the table and doubled down on the charge. He explained that they used to charge per slice but that "it started getting a little crazy," so they now charge a flat $30 fee. He even tried to justify it by saying it was a better deal because their desserts cost around $50 each. I explained that this was not a deal at all and that I had never heard of such a fee being imposed simply for bringing a small birthday cake. More importantly, I told him I was completely unaware of it because it had never been disclosed during the reservation process. I made it clear that had I known about this additional charge beforehand, I would not have chosen to book this restaurant. The manager compared it to a corkage fee. I responded that corkage fees are a widely known and standard practice, whereas charging $30 for a small birthday cake is not something most customers would reasonably expect, especially when it is not communicated in advance. As a result, we chose to leave rather than begin a birthday celebration feeling blindsided by hidden fees. Fortunately, we went to The Cheesecake Factory right up the street, where we received excellent service, enjoyed great food, and were not charged a fee for bringing a birthday cake. I want others to be aware of this policy because it was not disclosed upfront and could result in unexpected charges. While they may have every right to have such a policy, customers should be informed before making a reservation, particularly when the restaurant has been told in advance that the occasion is a birthday celebration. Thankfully, they did not ruin her birthday lunch, but they certainly put an unnecessary damper on what should have been a happy and memorable occasion.
