I really wanted the chicken empañada, but we got here around 2:30 PM, and they said they sold out. It seems something was going on with their supplier. We ordered the half chicken and fries and the chicken quesadilla. That marinade/sauce is so flavorful. The chicken was excellent!

Tonight, I had dinner at Dino's Chicken and ordered their famous Dino's Chicken & Fries…read more I ordered it to go, but I was so hungry that I ate some at one of the tables inside before taking the rest home and eating a little more at home. I had been craving their chicken for a while, so I finally came back today. As always, there was a long line. At first, the line wasn't moving at all, which was a little frustrating, but fortunately, it started moving much faster soon after. I hadn't been here in years, so it was nice to come back after such a long time. The chicken is definitely tasty, but unfortunately, they grilled it a little too much this time and some of it was quite burnt. I guess that's partly because they grill the chicken directly on the grill. And, too spicy for me : both chicken and fries. Parking here is always a complete challenge because the parking lot is small and there are usually so many people. But my parking luck is always amazing -- cars somehow always seem to pull out right in front of me! And once again, today, a car pulled out right in front of me, so I was able to get a parking spot easily. It felt like another parking miracle! I asked for a cup of water, and he kindly gave me ice water. I also asked if I could have one extra plastic bag, and he gave me another one without any problem. The staff were very friendly, which was good. However, there's one thing to keep in mind when getting takeout here: the chicken is so oily that the grease can actually soak through and leak all over the plastic bag. You basically have to throw the first plastic bag away afterward. That's why I'm really glad I asked for an extra bag and brought one home with me. It definitely came in handy!

I finally caved and made a…read morepilgrimage to Tommy's Burgers, the legendary spot famous for those incredible chili burgers everyone's always buzzing about. And wow, I totally get why it's such a big deal now. My mind is officially blown! I'll be honest, when I saw the menu, I did a slight double-take at the prices, but trust me, every single penny is worth it. This isn't just fast food; it's an experience in itself. These aren't just ordinary burgers; they're *the* iconic chili burgers, and they absolutely live up to their reputation. As soon as I bit into mine, it was pure bliss. The rich, savory chili, the perfectly cooked patty, and all the fixings just melted together in a glorious, wonderfully messy symphony of flavors. It was exactly as amazing as everyone described, and I'm officially obsessed. I think I've found my new favorite indulgence! So, I had a thought - if you, Art, or Beverley ever find yourselves in the vicinity, you absolutely, positively *have* to stop by and treat yourselves. It's truly a unique culinary adventure, and I have a feeling you'd all be singing its praises too.

The overall Yelp rating reflects the customer experience--not the food ( i.e., what customers…read moreexperience while waiting, before ordering and receiving foods ) Part I: Production of Service Employees earn 3 Stars ***** The customer experience is awful--not awesome. I avoid this location, for sure, on celebratory occasions and may drive-by if the vibe is off--hence a little. Although, this iconic location is nestled in the middle of a busy street intersection, homelessness, and the hostility of the neighborhood--You could easily experience a great experience (the food) or a bad visit (the food and experience). This Los Angeles institution has built a reputation for serving the public--not the community or neighborhood. A successful business model in malnourished neighborhoods is a crucifix. However, I don't think Original Tommy's should carry the cross alone. But, I would be curious to know how they benefited the community and not their bottom line. By celebrating 80 years and to charge .80 cents for a chili burger is Good--but ".80 cents" every eighty years--not so much. This location's only production is to manufacture and produce hamburgers. The irony is that customers need to communicate beforehand. The employees are not trained properly in how to communicate with patrons or retain their knowledge of products and use of terminal operations of cash and credit card systems efficiently will make less than stellar occasions, for the following reasons: - wait longer than necessary to order and receive - processing food orders without customers request - you will receive someone else's order by mistake - after waiting in line (your turn to order) and the credit card systems is down "but you have no cash" -constantly watching out for moving vehicles "driving in or backing out" - the uncertainty of conflict and confusion that arise in long lines - offering promotional opportunities with failed knowledge and understanding of the PROMOTION! - the inconsistency of staff asking customers "for their telephone" to credit their purchases with "points to earn" or when customers supply their food requests and tele- information the employees appear clueless and customer are repeating their orders "over and over" and reconfirming their order "over and over" again. -depend upon your visits your hamburger may have been prepared (the patty pre-cooked) not on the grill. So your hamburger experience may be "super hot" on busy days and nights but "Luke warm" on other days and nights. - the uncertainty of the "other" section where customers can place orders are "open or closed" I haven't figured it out yet--neither have they. The reason why most ppl will order at the original location because the emphasis of production is placed on the landmark location--not the side bar to handle crowd overflow, etc... Original Tommy's Burgers has mastered the art of food not public relations--for example, read Yelp Reviews. Part II: Customer Satisfaction Foods earn 3 - 4.5 Stars ***** The food is enjoyable and can easily bring a smile to your face. No one enjoys going from "smiling to frowning" for any reason (before, during or after). I hope that personnel do better to improve customer experience before customer satisfaction--hence "customer" is before customer service. I recommend this location. Buyer BeWare.

Absolutely incredible. I had the steak burrito and the chicken quesadilla with everything, and…read morewow... just wow. The flavors were unreal. The steak burrito was perfectly balanced, packed with flavor, and every bite was outstanding. But the chicken quesadilla completely surprised me. It has this amazing fire-grilled flavor that makes it incredibly unique and takes it to another level. That smoky, grilled taste makes everything feel extra special. Without a doubt, one of the best meals I've had in Downtown LA. I can't wait to come back and hope they open stores in San Diego.

Mostly crowded streets with metered parking. I got the chicken burrito. The tortilla was definitely the highlight and what really makes the burrito. Fresh, flavorful, and great texture. The filling itself tasted more like a standard burrito otherwise. Also tried the avocado sauce, which costs extra but was really good and worth adding. Overall solid spot. I'd come back to try the beef burrito and the chivichanga next time.

It was because…read morethis is what fast food used to look like: friendly cashiers who asked if we had any questions and then happily took our order, rather than directing us to a kiosk or telling us to use an app. The dining room was clean and inviting, and they still offered free refills on soda. I ordered the chicken strips with fries, while my partner ordered a two-piece chicken dinner with macaroni salad and spicy rice. Although we had to wait a little while for the food, it arrived hot. We both agreed that it was some of the best fast-food fried chicken we had ever eaten. The chicken was moist and the batter was crispy. My fries were good, and my partner's macaroni salad and spicy rice were both flavorful. We especially loved the biscuit. I also couldn't help noticing that although the dining room feels like something of a relic, it is very well maintained. There were no dirty tables and no trash on the floor. I was genuinely shocked when the cashier came out to ask how everything was and whether we needed anything else. Most fast-food chains seem determined to eliminate as much human interaction as possible. Pioneer Chicken was a refreshing reminder that fast food can still be friendly, clean and satisfying. Pioneer Chicken is a winner in my book!

We were heading back from the Grayson and wanted a quick bite to eat. Ordered from the app for drive thru pick up. Not sure if it was on the worker's side or the food ordering speaker was messed up, the menu did look like an Eldritch horror, but we had to repeat our order code several times. We were told to go to the next window. We get to the next window and it's a window to the actual restaurant and not part of the kitchen. I have never seen this at a McDonald's before. Usually the first window is to pay or to get your receipt, second window is to get your order, and if it's super busy there's a small pull up area where they may walk out your food. But no, second window was just a window to the restaurant. We pulled up too far and instead of letting us just walk back and pick up the food, or just bring the food to us in the parking spot, I guess this is for safety of the workers since it was really late at night and there's transients around, but we had to just weirdly reverse and bring our car back into the drive thru line, much to the ire of the other customers. Not a great experience. Lady working there was also tapping her fingers and obviously very impatient. If you were a bit more clear with your instructions it wouldn't have led to this. Food and prices were cheap and normal, as of all the franchise locations.
