It's either Riverside or Los Angeles. The Los Angeles location is nice because it has standard restaurant seating and the vibe is full on Monty's! It's so cool! I hope they grow and open more locations. My husband and I just drove an hour to get to the Riverside location. We're only able to come once a month because it's so far away. We would hit it once a month if it were closer, maybe more than once a month. Service is always great at this location. They have stickers and buttons available. The seating is bar stools at a counter inside the food lab. The food is amazing! It's always perfectly made and it hits the spot when we miss the Monty's plant-based chicken. The burgers are good. Love the fries and tots! Definitely do the "maxed out" tots or fries. Those are the best! I love the kale salad and add chicken on top. My husband loves the chicken burgers. We always bring friends here to try Monty's plant-based grub! This place rocks.

I absolutely love their mascot though and they have free stickers that look like him. All food is vegetarian friendly! 100% plant-based.

The order taker constantly talked over me and spoke so fast that it felt like getting to the next car was more important than actually letting me finish my order. Then, when it came time to pay, the employee at the window made a rude comment simply because she had to reach her hand outside the window so I could use tap to pay. I'm not sure why something that minor needed an attitude attached to it. I didn't catch their names, and I'm not going out of my way to get a couple of burger flippers in trouble, but come on -- a little professionalism and basic customer service goes a long way. You're dealing with paying customers. Nobody is asking for five-star dining, just some basic respect and enough patience to let someone finish a sentence. Definitely not the level of service I normally expect from In-N-Out. Management might want to remind the staff that being fast is great, but being professional matters too. What can you expect in the city of Riverside anyway .

There's the main restaurant area but they also have a sun room off to the side where I like to sit. Don't worry the ac is always cranked up so it's very comfortable.

We're coming in anyway, why not sign up? Typically we both love the grilled chicken sandwich but this trip I opted for a chili cheese dog. The chili was really good and it had lots of onions too. Yum! I also love the style of their crinkle cut fries. When I do order the chicken sandwich the chicken is always juicy and flavorful. Sometimes they get a little crazy with the mayo though.

I'm pretty sure I've had just about everything on their menu from the hot dogs to the burgers to their sandwiches and salads. I have to say they're chili cheese. Fries are probably my favorite from any restaurant. I think it's something about the nacho cheese that they use, which doesn't say much, but they are incredible. The service is always pretty quick here, even when I ask for my dogs to be well done. I love the decor inside of this place, because it's a throwback to an old time. Chicago era. The only thing I wish they do is get rid of their kiosks to order because I don't like when businesses replace employees with computers. That's my only gripe. So, stop in and enjoy a dog but make sure a person takes your order, not the funky kiosk.

The omelette was good enough, but I have to be completely honest about the hash browns they were very bland and lacked seasoning. The texture was fine, but I would suggest adding some seasoning during cooking. I think that small change could make them much more appealing to customers. One thing that confused me was the ordering process. When I placed my order in the drive-thru, the employee asked what style of eggs I wanted with my omelette. Since an omelette is already a specific style of egg preparation, I wasn't sure what she meant. Then, when I got to the window, I was asked whether I wanted pickles from a breakfast burrito and whether I wanted potatoes again. I'm not sure if there was some confusion with my order or if they were joking around, but I didn't make an issue out of it. Now that I've finished my breakfast, I'd rate it about a 6 out of 10. That said, I come here often, and there is one item that keeps me coming back: the zucchini. Their zucchini with ranch is an automatic 10 out of 10. In my opinion, it's probably the best thing on the menu, and I highly recommend trying it if you visit. Overall, the breakfast was okay, but the zucchini is definitely the star of the show. Enjoy at your own discretion.

P&G's Burgers -- A Family Favorite for Over 15 Years!…read more P&G's Burgers is definitely at the top of our list of favorite family-owned American burger restaurants! We've been loyal customers for over 15 years, and they continue to deliver delicious food and great service every time. One of the things I really appreciate is that most of their menu items are prepared after you order, so your food is fresh and made to order. And you can definitely taste the difference! I absolutely LOVE their salads! They're hearty, loaded with great-tasting ingredients, and the dressings are delicious. Their burger combos are yummy, especially those flame-grilled burgers! And you can't go wrong with their French fries. They're not those skinny, thin fries--they're more like steak fries, and they're delicious! We've tried just about everything on the menu over the years, and honestly, you really can't go wrong with anything you order. If you're going through the drive-thru, just remember to be patient. Sometimes the line takes a little while to move, but it's worth the wait because they're preparing your food after you order it. Fresh food takes a little time! The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming, with nostalgic posters and décor that give it a fun, old-school feel. They also have outdoor seating if you prefer to eat outside. And I have to give a special shout-out to Christian, who always provides such great customer service! He greets you with a smile and always has so much positive energy. His friendly personality makes every visit even better--and he's bilingual too! If you're craving a delicious, fresh, made-to-order burger, salad, fries, or just some good American comfort food, I highly recommend P&G's Burgers! 15+ years of loyal customers says it all. Thank you, P&G's, for continuing to be one of our family favorites!

When we say SIDE salad, we expected the salad to actually be on the SIDE. Instead, they put the HOT chicken tenders directly on top of the salad, which melted the cheese and completely ruined it. They did offer to replace the salad, but after the attitude I received on the phone, I didn't feel comfortable trusting them to remake my food. What made the situation worse was being told what I should do differently next time when the mistake was on their end. Mistakes happen, but how you handle those mistakes matters. Telling a customer how they should order next time instead of simply taking responsibility is not good customer service. The food may be decent, but the way this situation was handled left a really bad impression.

I usually get my food to go as I don't feel that it's that nice or comfy inside, but I've dined in before when I was in a hurry and it was fine. If I were to suggest one thing, it would be to allow for greater customization of the plates. You get your protein laid out on a bed of steamed veggies, a few scoops of rice, and a scoop of Mac salad. As far as I know, they don't allow substitutions. I eat brown rice but not white rice, so I would prefer to be able to swap it for extra veggies.
