I stopped by the Dave's Hot Chicken location in Monrovia for lunch around 2:00 p.m. It was busy,…read morewhich I took as a good sign. I'd never been before, but I'd been wanting to try it for a long time. As soon as I walked in, I noticed two ordering kiosks with people waiting in line. Before I could even figure out what to do, a young lady with the biggest smile greeted me and asked if she could help. Her name was Patty. I told her it was my first visit, and she patiently explained the menu, especially the different spice levels. Since I enjoy spicy food, I confidently ordered the Hot level. Looking back... I may have been a little overconfident! When my food was ready, Patty brought it to my table with the same genuine smile she greeted me with. The food looked incredible, and the chicken was juicy and delicious--but after a few bites, I realized the Hot level was hotter than I had imagined. I laughed to myself and thought, "Next time, I'm definitely ordering one level lower." A few minutes later, Patty came back to check on me because it was my first visit. I told her the food was great, but I'd overestimated my spice tolerance. Without hesitation she said, "I'll change it for you." I immediately told her, "No, it's okay. I don't want you to waste food." She smiled and replied, "I want you to enjoy it." That simple statement really impressed me. In today's world, you don't hear that very often. It reminded me of something I had just read about Dave's Hot Chicken--"Keep us honest." Patty truly lived that philosophy. She wasn't just serving food; she genuinely wanted my first experience to be a great one. The food was excellent, but Patty's kindness and customer service made the experience memorable. That's the kind of employee every business hopes to have. I'll definitely be back--and hopefully Patty will be there again. Thank you, Patty, for making my first visit such a great one. You turned a first-time customer into a returning one.

Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food. They gave us a bunch of them in bags. Everything was good, I would say that my favorite is still their zucchini fries and ranch, I love their ranch and glad they gave us a couple containers because I needed more. Definitely a great bite to grab, I think I prefer snacks from here like their huge portion of fries but their burgers are really good as well.

I used to live a few minutes away from Jim's, but only came here once many years ago, before my…read morerecent visit. My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.

The last two times I've been to this location, they completely messed up my order…read more The first time, I made it very clear to the cashier exactly what I wanted. Flying Dutchman, onion, wrap, with tomato and chopped chilies, 3 x 3. When I got it, it was none of that. Yesterday, it was a really simple order, 3 x 3 Flying Dutchman. When I went to pay at the drive-through,, the girl told me that I ordered a WGAR, I've never heard of that. I politely said," I ordered a flying Dutchman." she tried to explain to me what I ordered, and I told her that I know what I ordered. When I got the order, it was this weird onion, lettuce, wrap thing, that didn't resemble anything of a flying Dutchman. I've noticed that the people that they have recently hired, seemed kind of clueless when you go up to order. I've never had this problem with any of the other stores, it's just been the Monrovia location. Make sure you, double and triple check your order when you get it.

This last time I went, maybe took a little longer than other visits just cause it was one girl doing it all. So can't fault her fully, a manager could have put another person in to do the veggies / toppings. I usually get the kids quesadilla meal! I tend to love this option cause it's under $7 , it totally fills me up cause you get 3 sides & a kids quesadilla, mini bag of chips & small drink! You cannot beat that price these days! So definitely my go to (: I don't have any complaints, the staff are usually friendly here, the manager (guy) is always helping out the staff & working hard. The restaurant is clean & kept up! Oh one complaint! Parking there in this lot is terrible lol hit or miss if you will find something! It's cause there's multiple restaurants to have lunch so it tends to get full quickly! So be aware it could be chaotic lol

There is one thing I have noticed almost every time I visit a Chipotle, regardless of the location:…read more**the attitude and customer service from the employees.** I usually visit during lunchtime, and when there is a line of customers waiting, the employees often seem more interested in talking and joking with each other than paying attention to the customers. They don't always seem to be in much of a hurry to keep the line moving. Sometimes, an employee will suddenly walk into the kitchen while customers are waiting. But once it is finally your turn to order, the atmosphere seems to change completely. The employees suddenly start rushing you through your order -- "Next, next, next." I actually feel pressured and uncomfortable because I feel like I have to quickly decide what I want to add before I hold up the line. I can see that there are often several employees working at the front, and they do seem busy. At the same time, it sometimes looks like they are under a lot of pressure, especially when one employee is handling several customers at once. Maybe that is why they seem so rushed when serving customers. I understand that working in a busy restaurant can be stressful and tiring. However, **the way some employees interact with customers can sometimes feel impatient, rushed, and even somewhat aggressive.** It makes the experience uncomfortable. What I find most noticeable is that many employees often have an expression that makes it seem like **they don't really want to be there.** I don't expect employees to smile all the time or be overly cheerful, but a little more patience, professionalism, and courtesy toward customers would make a big difference. I like Chipotle and I keep coming back because I enjoy the food. But honestly, **this is something I have noticed at many different Chipotle locations, not just one particular restaurant.** I really think the overall customer service experience could be improved.

Got to try all four and my fav was Asada followed by, surprisingly, pollo. Asada was just solid grilled meat, tender and chewy (which I liked), while pollo was a stewed chicken with great flavor. Usually I'm iffy on chicken since it tends to be dry, but not here. 3% transaction fee for cards. Would highly rec to check them out also on Tuesdays, where the fish taco also has a 2 for 1 deal.

We went to the cashier to ask about it, and he told us they didn't have lettuce because of the "pandemic." Honestly, we were confused by that explanation, especially since the pandemic was months ago. If certain ingredients weren't available, we feel like we should've been informed before ordering. The sandwich was loaded with so much sauce the bun was soggy At the very least, we expected some kind of accommodation or even a small discount for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.

Great for breakfast burritos!…read more I stopped by after running errands. It was just past noon, but I was craving a breakfast burrito. Luckily, JB was just across the street from UPS (where I was). You order outside at the window and pick up inside. The inside was like long dining hall with tables and chairs along each side and booths at the back. The guy at the counter was very friendly and was chatting with each customer. The breakfast burrito was made fresh with scrambled eggs, hash brown, bacon. It was a good size - enough to share for me and my hubby!
