Ordering online was easy and this lil gem is actually located in tiny strip mall across from the Cypress College. I actually missed it as I blinked an eye and had to turn around lol. The dining area is actually a pretty good size, very clean, and the cashier whom I picked my order up from was very nice. She asked me to help myself to the salsa bar while my food was finishing up and their salsas were delicious and fresh (you must try the mango habanero salsa)! I just got takeout and ate my lunch back at my desk and although I found the nachos to be expensive (14.02), they were very delicious! The chips appeared to be homemade and not soggy. Lots of crema and crumbled queso along with refritos and chunks of chicken breast. I added jalapenos and of course the salsas that I got and they just complimented my nachos that much more! I will definitely be back and look forward to trying other menu items!

Burger veggies were not wilted nor slimy, and the fries were fried to perfection and seasoned well. We also ordered an avocado burger (none of the avocados were brown or gross) and a Jr Burger for our nephew. This is clearly a local favorite--there were several phone orders and family orders ahead of us, so the wait was a little longer than we anticipated, but it certainly was worth it! I thought that the establishment was fair in processing orders and went straight down the line of how orders were received! The man at the window was kind and approachable. We'll return!

Friendly service, great food, fair prices, and convenient call-ahead ordering keep me coming back. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I'll knock off the three categories of food service ambience pretty quickly. What I liked particular was the even wider variety of menu items which you kind of worry about sometimes that they have too much on the menu, but everything is executed perfectly. Every menu item that our party ordered was just fantastic. The service is beyond friendly and helpful and it's just a cool of expired in there you order the counter to give you the number to bring out your food and you are having a wonderful meal. I think the best thing our party had was definitely the pulled pork. Unlike some pulled pork sandwiches where they're shredded beyond comprehension and mush in the barbecue sauce so it's more like a sloppy joe, this had freshly roasted piece of pulled pork. Could really get you into and you could control the amount of barbecue sauce that was going on there so probably the best pulled pork I've ever had to be honest

The items on the menu is not updated on their online ordering so if you want certain things like their BBQ, you have to order over the phone or in person. Coin toss when you come here.

So I had to swim upstream for 10 mins to get the drink filled. To then finally enjoy Taco Bell in a messy school cafeteria ambiance. Nah. I get it, kids are kids, but hold them to a minimum standard or whatever so you don't have to shut your drink machines off, and if you're that swamped then staff accordingly. The food is fine, but I'd avoid this location at all costs.

This place is such a hidden gem!…read more I was craving chicken teriyaki one day and passed by and smelled the grill. I knew I had to bookmark and read mind myself to pass through one day, So today was the day. I got the double chicken bowl which means more protein. This bowl was hearty? Enough for two servings. There's vegi's underneath! $15 and they have awesome sauces on the side. The original doesn't come with anything extra saucy so I liked it because you can be intentional about how much you want on it. Teriyaki could be sometimes overwhelming. The space is simple and the people were really friendly. Steady stream of customers. They also give us stamp cards, so don't forget to ask for that! I will be back.

I wasn't asked white or brown rice!…read more Gnat a problem. The rice is too clumpy! Gnat a problem. The chicken is too tough! Gnat a problem. There are way too many gnats! Gnat a problem. I went a little out of my way to stop by this Flame Broiler in Garden Grove since I was also planning to get a drink nearby. To celebrate the start of the college football season, Flame Broiler was offering 40% off plates, excluding the Korean BBQ Short Rib plate. Between bowls and plates, I prefer getting plates because they also come with a small cabbage salad as well as a half orange whereas bowls do not. This Flame Broiler in Garden Grove is located in Chiana Plaza on the southeast corner of Valley View and Chapman. It's the westernmost business in that plaza closest to Carl's Jr, which has its own lot. Soon after I came inside, there was a customer placing his order, which gave me time to think of what to get. Amongst the plates, I noticed that the Chicken was the cheapest at $12.15. The Tofu plate was 60 cents more, which I found odd because at the two locations closest to me, it's at most 30 cents more. However, they're also more expensive than this location by almost $2, so at least there's a good reason to drive further for this Flame Broiler lol. While I was waiting to order, I pulled out my calculator to determine that between the Chicken and Tofu plates, I'd still earn the same number of points after the 40% off, so I settled for the Chicken Plate. When it was my turn to order, I showed the 40% off a plate offer on my phone to the female employee at the front (Julie?), but she mentioned that particular deal would only work online despite the "Redeem in store" button on my phone. That confused me, but she also mentioned another customer was having trouble with a similar offer. At the locations closer to me, I'd usually provide my phone number, so I gave her my phone number to see if the 40% would come off. Sure enough, it did. I quickly paid, hoping that the register wouldn't reverse course, and asked how long I'd have to wait; Julie estimated about 5 minutes. I think it was more like 3 minutes, but during the short wait, I noticed the receipt had said "white rice" when I would have much preferred brown rice, which is way healthier than white rice. There were several customers who followed me inside, so I really didn't want to be that one customer to hold up the line. When Julie called my order number, I brought to her attention that I wanted brown rice instead of white rice. I almost thought she'd say "too late", but she was able to send my order back and tell the female chef in the kitchen to remake my plate using brown rice instead. I thought it would have been as simple as scooping brown rice onto another plate and emptying the contents from the first plate onto the second, but surprisingly, it was a longer wait than for the first plate! When Julie announced my number again, she asked which sauces I'd like, and I went with the usual one of each except for the Seoul Scorcher, which I must forewarn is not for the faint of heart. I also asked for a water cup. I took the plate to the table in the near corner, but once I removed the lid, I saw a gnat on the edge of the plate! I really didn't want them to remake my plate a third time, and I didn't see the gnat on the food, so I just kept it as is. The cabbage salad already had the sesame dressing on the salad as opposed to the dressing on the side like I usually see. However, the cabbage was finely chopped as if to look like very thin rice noodles. I felt there was less salad here than what I usually get. The half orange was cut up into thirds, which I'm not sure why they had to go through the trouble of that, but at least it did make peeling the orange a little easier? The brown rice, chicken, and steamed vegetables tasted fine for Flame Broiler's standards, but I didn't like how the brown rice was so clumpy. I have a feeling Julie assuming I wanted white rice instead of brown rice may have played a factor in this. I don't think I had ever seen brown rice this clumpy at any Flame Broiler location, and the oddity continued with some pieces of chicken being tough to chew, almost as if there were soft bones randomly in the chicken. But the worst part? The abundance of gnats inside. It was a pretty warm Saturday, and I saw a couple of ceiling fans spinning pretty fast. I had to keep an eye on the gnats and shoo them away pretty frequently while I was enjoying my Chicken plate. Needless to say, it got annoying. There was a steady flow of customers placing their orders, and I didn't recall Julie asking even one of them white rice or brown rice, so I suppose the norm here is that you have to specify "brown rice"; otherwise, it defaults to "white rice". Also, most of them ordered to go as there are only about five tables inside. Overall, I'd only consider a return visit for the lower prices. And I hope they realize that gnats aren't gnat a problem.

Dave's Hot Chicken is like Canes on crack!…read more I have been wanting to try Dave's for a while since I have heard so many great things about this place, but never got around to it. Right as you walk in you already catch the fun, skippy vibes: the walls are decked out in funky, whimsical designs and colors--the interior feels almost like a grown-up evolution of Chuck E Cheese. Along with the fun wallpaper, I also enjoyed how his location also keeps fairly clean and pleasant. Workers are quick to serve you and the place wasn't too crowded--even coming in around early dinner time. I ordered their #4 meal (slider w/ fries), which was a great basic meal to trial run. Their chicken is well cooked, seasoned strongly, and complimented with great sauce and pickles. I really loved their Dave's sauce and pickles, since those toppings really leveled up the meal as a whole with their texture and flavor. One thing I will note though, is that eating Dave's can be messy! The sauce oozed out with each bite, and the seasoning ended up covering my whole hands like gloves--so probably not the best place to take your date... Other than that, though, I really loved my experience and thought this place was a nice spin up from Canes. The menu is a lot more versatile, with various items like their mini sliders, Mac and cheese, cauli tender bites, etc. I can also really appreciate how there are so many different spice levels to choose from, allowing you to make your food personal to your spice tolerance/preference. Definitely this place if you like Cane's or fun food!
