For a local "burger joint" this place hits with delicious items... From burgers to breakfast items…read moreand everything in between I have never been disappointed.. I usually order breakfast from this establishment; chicken breast with eggs and hash browns. Coupled with their salsa and pickled jalapeños! You order from the counter from this establishment; no waitress service here.. All self serve.. I have always been greeted with a smile and friendly service here! This place is a little dated but always clean and comfortable every time I dine here....

They also have wide section on their menu including Mexican and American meals. I was very I haven't decided what to order then I saw the club combo it comes with fries and drink then I order it. My club combo was made to order but I have wait until they call my number. The restaurant is big but the interior looks very nice. I got my order they load the fries alot my container was popping then taste the fries they were very crispy and crunchy and right amount of salt add it flavor in the fries. Arrive home then I open the container and took a piece of their club sandwich it tasted so good I have try other club sandwich from others restaurants but the club sandwich from Burger Zone have amazing flavors in one bite the meal was very impressive I would order again.

Called in my order and it was ready when I got there, which I appreciate. I ordered a big cheeseburger for my daughter. I didn't get a bite, but she basically inhaled the whole thing, so I'm gonna assume it did its job. I ordered a breakfast burrito with no potatoes, which in hindsight was 100% my fault. What I picked up was basically a flour tortilla taco with a couple dried pieces of bacon and a little cheddar rattling around inside. Not great. Pretty sure this burrito only makes sense with hash browns or potatoes holding it together. Lesson learned. Prices were fair, staff was genuinely nice, and luckily the burrito was under $10--so no real damage done. Was I disappointed? Yeah. Was I shocked? Not at all. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I needed a burger, was nearby, and everything else was closed, I'd have no problem stopping in. Sometimes you just need a burger spot, and this is one of those.

They have a drive thru, but I suggest ordering ahead since it can take anywhere from 15-20 minutes to get your food. The staff were polite and the restaurant was clean. We ordered the chile relleno plate. It comes with rice, beans, salad, and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. It was delicious! We will definitely be back.

Randomly found this restaurant because of Yelp. And it delivered!!!!…read more 10/10 for their lomo saltado fries. Their version is slightly different and better than other places. Cheese/cilantro empanada also hit the spot. Everything is fresh and made to order and super quick. High quality ingredients. We also met one of the owners- it's a family run restaurant. Such a nice guy! Definitely hit this place if you are on in the area!

We ordered 4 meals and the food took 45 min to come out. It took them 30 min just to bring a can of soda and a glass l the table for each person that ordered a drink. Service is slow. Not super inviting. It felt awkward to order. I got the chaufa with beef. The beef pieces were touch and chewy. The rice flavor and texture was a big off. I have had some really good versions elsewhere but the rice was slight to saturated with liquid but not totally mushy. It felt like it was rushed and over flavored with certain spices and felt like a fried rice with to much soy sauce 2/5 Everyone's beef was pretty tough. I tried two other plates with the same beef. My friends chimichuri steak was cooked and seasoned way better The presentation was spot I.

They have no access from Main Street, only a small to go order window. You need to go around to the back of the building where there's additional parking and a small alleyway between the buildings that has some outdoor seating under sail canopies. Look for a small, sidewalk board sign to find the alley entrance. Find a seat and use the service call button located in the napkin holder on each table. Their menu consists of sliders, burgers/dogs, chicken tenders and wings, and a couple starters. I tried the 8-piece Fried Pickle Chips ($6) and the Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sliders (3 for $12). The pickle chips came with French fries and ranch dressing. The sliders also came with fries. I asked for a bleu cheese dressing, instead of ranch. Everything was delicious. Once you get the hang of the dine-in procedure, it's a breeze. Great service and fantastic food. I'll definitely be back for more.

I've been here a grand total of twice…read more My first experience was problem free. Kudos. The second visit "could've been better" (which Yelp suggests that a 2 star rating would be appropriate to indicate): we placed quite a simple order - 2x Strawberry Sundaes. We took our number placard (#52) and sat at a table to await our order. After patiently waiting what I would estimate to be approximately 15-20 minutes and seeing quite a few other people served their orders, I did find it odd that it was taking so long to prepare 2x sundaes, so I located the young man who took our order and politely inquired about it. He looked a bit confused, exchanged some unintelligible words one of the guys on the grill, and then looked back at me and said it was not our turn yet (or something to that effect). Okay, fair enough. Maybe there were many orders ahead of us. I took it in good stride and went back to my table. After waiting approximately another 15-20 minutes and seeing that *Order #70* was being given their food, I realized that there was a problem and went back up to the ordering counter. I ended up talking with an old man (who I presume is the owner/manager). I explained the situation, and he inquired who had taken our order. I looked around, and the young man appeared to be nowhere in sight, but I did mention it was he who had had taken our order. The old man apologized and assured us he would take care of our order right away. Sure enough, I saw him beeline to the ice cream machine to start our sundaes, and he delivered them to us within 2-3 minutes. He apologized a second time, stating that it was the young man's 2nd day on the job, and that he otherwise would not have forgiven the transgression. In my experience, the resolution to the absurd wait could have been handled worse (in theory, the old man could certainly have told us to pound sand rather than apologizing and immediately attempting to correct the problem and quickly getting our desserts after being made aware of his employee's failure), but also could have been handled better (comping us for the trivial cost of the sundaes as a remedy/cure would have more effectively salved our irritation from the unnecessary waste of 30+ minutes of our life, and would have been in-line with remedial efforts I have experienced at other eateries, including similar fast food/burger joints). All that said, the sundaes were quite good. They would undoubtedly have tasted better had they been served in a time frame reasonable enough to not spoil the mood. I get that this is not a fine dining restaurant of any sort, but I still expect staff competence to be no worse than that of a McDonald's baseline level. I also get that humans make mistakes, but ... how did a simple order of 2x sundaes get botched this badly, particularly after a good faith attempt to bring the matter to staff's attention??

This was my first time having zucchini fries and they gave me so much! These ones were homemade, heavily battered, stayed super crispity crunchity, but also were kinda bland? Paired well with the ranch given tho. Never heard of a pastrami quesadilla but this one was MASSIVE, nicely grilled and was filled with some nutty lettuce that kinda got soggy but that's ok cuz I lowkey like soggy lettuce, tender savory pastrami, and some gooey cheese. The burger was hefty and was stacked with perfectly ripe avocado, actually still crisp bacon, savory cheese, a nice charbroiled meaty patty, juicy tomato, fresh crunchy lettuce and sliced onions, with some slightly sweet tangy thousand island and pickles all on a sesame seed bun. Hit the spotttt. This was also my first time getting a tuna melt and it was rich creamy a bit tart not offensively fishy and comforting with gooey cheese and crunchy celery bits all on perfectly buttery toasted bread.

What a great place to have a HUGE, DELICIOUS, and well-prepared meal…read more My family and I had business in the area, and we were craving breakfast. We are so glad we decided to visit this restaurant for the first time. The restaurant itself is located in a very busy industrial area. It is a large and clean restaurant with many tables and booths. The menu, which is clearly posted behind the counter, is extensive and offers many options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also signs posted throughout the restaurant featuring specials and specialty items. The entire staff, including the owner, who happened to be working the register during our visit, was extremely friendly, welcoming, hardworking, and appeared to appreciate each customer who visited the restaurant. My family and I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito, eggs, turkey bacon, and hash browns combo, and I had a veggie omelet with hash browns. The portion sizes were HUGE, and the food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was truly cooked to perfection. It really was good. At one point, I leaned over the counter to thank the chef for preparing such a delicious breakfast. He appeared surprised yet thankful for the compliment. I also wish to thank the owner for providing top-notch service, as he personally delivered our order to our table, including utensils, and checked on us a couple of times, as did a very nice and friendly female employee who was seen working nonstop. We will DEFINITELY be back for breakfast soon.
