What a great experience I had here at EAT FANTASTIC , I placed my order in the drive-thru and the sweet kind enthusiastic lady taking my order was top notch...I truly hope this YELP REVIEW gets to the management because I was having a bad day!!

First time visitors to Eat Fantastic's Arcadia outpost can't help but notice the sprawling Kobe mural that welcomes diners. I, for one, immediately noticed the huge mural that heralds our Greatest Laker Ever the moment I pulled offve Live Oak into the small lot that abuts Fantastic. Digging further, I discovered that the "Eat Fantastic" quintet of restaurants that dot the greater LA metropolitan area ARE IN FACT a modernized spinoff of the "Cafe Fantastic" chain that Gen Xers like me fondly recall. Sheeeeeeeeeiiit. True story- All throughout my time at San Pedro High, my best friend Mick and I usta demolish their Combo Burger Platter (burger/fries AND onion rings, side salad and drink) for only $3.65. 40yr flashback over, your favorite Yelp correspondent went for Fantastic's pastrami sandwich combo. And while it doesn't come with a quintet of items guaranteed to fillya up- I can vouch that the pastrami is legit!!! Well seasoned, peppered, served steaming hot aboard a French roll gently slicked with mustard. I've had my share of fabulous pastrami in my time- Katz Deli in NY, Brent's Deli in Northridge and more locally and if you're in a severe 'strami fix...then Togo's #9 will do ya, too. This doesn't compete at those lofty levels, but for its price I'll order this eight days a week over the razor-thin pastrami dispensed by the overrated The Hat chain of pastrami-phixated locales! While this was a takeout order, I can attest that all of my.prior dealings w/ the Eat Fantastic staff has been just fine. Courteous and swift service. read more

I had an adequate experience at Eat Fantastic (Arcadia). I ordered The G.O.A.T. Burger ($12.24). It's a double cheeseburger with pickles, grilled onions, and sauce. It's a BIG, thick burger, but it came drenched in a puddle of its own grease. The cooks cooked it perfectly, but its meat is extremely oily. I arrived at Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) on Monday (around 9:48AM). The business has its own small parking lot; I counted about 13 parking spots. The location also has a drive-thru. It's a very POPULAR spot! Staff is very friendly and diligent. Staff immediately helped me, and I felt welcomed. My food arrived in four minutes and six seconds. As mentioned, I ordered The G.O.A.T. Burger ($12.24). If the ingredients were fresher, it would have been a much better experience. Still, there's an appreciated juicy, meat flavor since it's cooked well. Unfortunately, it's also a very messy burger that's drenched in its own grease. I had that annoying oily aftertaste desperately clinging onto me after this meal. I felt the urge to shower after eating. On ambiance, Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) is lovely. Although it's odd how no music played, I appreciated the big flat screen television displaying the baseball game. The location is also kid friendly since I counted a few high chairs for kids. Also, it's well-shaded, airy, and clean. I appreciate the hard effort towards making this dining area spotless and comfortable. In addition, Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) has about 10 tables and one long table. Also, there's a nearby gender neutral restroom for customers. Overall, Eat Fantastic (Arcadia) has potential. Although the meat tastes cheap, it's prepared at an exemplary level. Maybe I'll return in the future, but as of now, it's just an adequate option for customers that like affordable but very greasy food. 3.9 out of 5 read more

Came here with a group after a kids baseball game. Eating area is only the tables outside. You order the food first on the app or at the window then wait to pick up your food at the other window. We ordered a cheeseburger, a lunch box with fantastic burger upgrade. The lunchbox has good amount of food - burger, 2 chicken tenders, fries and a cookie. The burgers are made to order and they are great - both the basic cheese burger and the fantastic burger with bacon and avocado. I really liked the ranch sauce here. Only thing weird is we asked for water and guy said we need to pay for it? Other than that it's a decent dining experience. read more

I love the portions and the flavors. This place gets packed drive through and dine in. Love their fried chicken sandwiches. They give you enough fries to feed a family. It's your usual half indoor half outdoor seating place perfect for eating at on a beautiful sunny day. They have some TVs to watch games. Parking space and lot is a bit tight just FYI. read more

So I wanted something aside from In-N-Out and yelp recommended Eat Fantastic. I ordered the GOAT burger. It's an absolute killer, very flavorful, think this is what Five Guys set out to be but failed miserably. And then I also ordered the Fantastic Fries and a Choco Shake. So, Im going to be honest about the fries, it was too much of a portion. Think 3 people can share one order of fries. At first, it's your typical cheddar melt bacon fried but the more you try to eat it, the more you find it to be on the greasier side, and so I threw 2/3s of the box away. Chocolate shake was excellent. Overall, yes, it's a decent burger joint but for three items I think I paid 28.00 + so ehhhhhhh; if I'm having mad cravings yes. But I think I will stick to In-N-Out for the time being. read more

This place was so delicious. Wasn't feeling a burger this trip so I ended up getting a chicken salad. The dressing was so good! The salad had so many fresh veggies! I loved it. Very refreshing. My hubby had a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries, and I tasted both. Burger was juicy and the fries were very flavorful! The staff is super nice, and very helpful with what we should get. My husband was craving something sweet and she recommended a chocolate smoothie. Definitely worth it! The place is very nicely decorated for each holiday, and very clean! Good size for bigger parties. Loved the tv with the split screen. I thought that was pretty cool! read more

Been here a couple times whilst waiting to pick up people from LAX (5-10 min drive away). The most recent time I just needed a quick bite and got the 2 tender box. Tenders were huge and juicy, fries were crispy and good too. Service was in good time. Ate on the patio (there's seating both inside and outside) to enjoy the view of the plaza it's in. Ample parking adjacent to the building as well. Will likely return to try more items on the menu. read more

Eat Fantastic - 2 Box - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arcadia, California

I drive by this spot fairly often, it stands out due to the mural of Kobe Bryant on their property. Usually, there is a decent number of customers in the patio and cars waiting in the drive-thru line. I didn't have my mind set on what to order. Then I saw the G.O.A.T. on the menu and went for the combo. I was very pleased with my choice. It is made with Colby Jack Cheese, Double Beef Patty with mustard that is fried right onto the meat, Pickles, Grilled Onions, then topped with their signature Fantastic sauce. This burger was FANTASTIC, I couldn't finish but was happy to have the leftovers for lunch the next day. $10.24 burger only, or $16.24 for a combo (fries & drink). Add-ons for a nominal charge: Bacon, Chili, Pastrami, Egg, Avocado. Upgrade fries to Onion Rings or Zucchini Sticks $3, or Tater Tots for $2. They have a "Secret" menu with items such as, the Hangover Burger, Chipotle Jalepeno Burger, Avocado Toast, and a Big Boy Plate, to name a few. They are open 7 days a week for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and late night food runs til Midnight! They have an App for placing advance orders and earning reward points. There is a private parking lot and patio seating (no indoor dining area). The restaurant is clean and the employees were helpful. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

After all these years, I finally got to try this place! Plenty of parking but I would suggest parking on the streets since you will be blocked or see lines of cars waiting at drive thru.... We downloaded EatFantastic app and there was a reward for 25% off your first purchase which was a steal! No indoor seating.. Only outdoor and you wait by the pick up area. Service was great! Since we ordered ours online, we waited 20 mins and then I walked to the window to order something else Let's get to the food! Great price and generous portion! I feel like the lunch combo for $12 here is very popular so we got that. The lunch combo comes w burger, two chicken tenders, fries, and chocolate chip cookie BUT we sub and upgraded to chili cheese fries and sub tenders for spicy. The sauce is fire on the burger! Tenders are good and WAYYY better than Raising Canes Got Chicken sandwich combo Sub for spicy crispy chicken on sourdough and this was tasty w slaw. Instead of fries, we upgraded to onion rings but I wish they were cooked longer and crispier. read more

Finally decided to stop in after passing by this place so many times! We came in this morning before church because my son wanted to try it out, and it turned out to be a really solid local spot. We ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and the patty melt, both hit the spot. The menu is a nice mix of traditional comfort food and Mexican fare. I didn't try a burger this time, but just looking at the menu options and add-ons, they look like they'd be good, too. The setup is simple: you order at the counter first, and then they bring the food to your table. The staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Bonus points for the easy parking lot (they have a drive-thru, too). Definitely glad we finally gave it a try! read more

MyrtleAve /Peck Rd and Live Oak depending on which street you begin at... on Live Oak! The drive through has easy access if you are coming east on Live Oak - going west you have to make a u turn. The line went pretty quick once you put in the order. I enjoyed the atmosphere because there are a lot of murals - especially the Cobi Bryant, which I was unable to take because a car was parked in front of - I took it home and was surprised that it was still warm after a 20 minute drive. The burger was juicy and full of flavor- sauce, tomato, pickle, cheese, avocado and bacon. The fries were crispy and perfectly made. The combo was good but expensive- $18 read more

I wouldn't say the cashier was rude but she was quick and means business. No attitude she was just in the zone. She got my order down brought out my drinks then on to the next customer. Outdoor seating beware of flies and mosquitoes, Restroom on the side of the building ask for the code. I had dinner at home already so I wasn't as hungry. So we just got the fantastic fries and a lunch box. The burger has a classic taste, chicken tenders nice and crispy. The fantastic fries, thick cut fries crispy bacon.

Pretty good pastrami. Good fries too. The meat quality on the pastrami was nice and really smoky. The only thing that knocks it down from a five star is they put mayo on it and that makes the sand-which feel strange, I've never had mayo on a pastrami. Ive had barbeque sauce on a pastrami and thats pretty good because pastrami is brisket and brisket and bbq sauce go together. read more

Tonight Father in law got food to go. No check in I didn't go to get but had the food . Had the 3 Box chicken tenders w/fries and got an extra tender woohoo!. I got the tenders w/ buffalo seasoning. Had Ranch and Honey Chipotle dipping sauces. The chicken was perfectly cooked crispy outside and tender inside. The Buffalo seasoning was good and paired great with the honey chipotle sauce. The fries were good too not soggy and not too crispy. Everything tasted good. My son had the Lunch Box which comes with a Burger , 2 Tenders , Fries and a Cookie . He enjoyed it very much still had a tender and fries leftover. Everything was good . Enjoy !!!! read more

Eat Fantastic - LA Staple Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arcadia, California

This place has been on my bookmarks for ages and I finally was able to try it. I was surprised to hear that this place has been opened for so many years but I've only recently (within the last 5 years) really noticed it or heard of this place. I got the number 2 cheeseburger combo sub onion rings. The cheeseburger was good. It's your typical run of the mill cheeseburger. I will say the bun is really fluffy and soft. The winner here is really the onion rings. They were fried to perfection and the Parmesan they add on top is a game changer! read more

I absolutely love this place. I've tried their burgers, chicken and salads, and all were delicous. The food is fresh and always comes out hot. The portions are filling and so flavorful. My boyfriend said the Goat burger is the best burger he has ever had. I personally love the chicken cobb salad with Nashville chicken. Its a nice balance of spice that cools down with the lettuce and other veggies. They also have a reward program. Food is affordable too. I definitely recommend this place! read more

A solid spot for breakfast/lunch. I love that it has a drive thru. You can't go wrong with a cheeseburger here, it's classic. The BLT is good too. But the star for me here is the crispy chicken sando, the seasoning and slaw is perfection and they load it up with pickles. Such a good balance of salty, sweet and tangy. The only reason I knock off a star is that for some reason the seasoned fries are really salty to me, I also don't think the avocado toast is the greatest either. So it really depends on the items you order and what you like, at least to me. But they have tons of options, which is awesome. But I'm forever a fan of the crispy chicken sando, so I'll be back for that. read more

What I ordered - Main: Fantastic Burger combo with zucchini stix ($2 up charge, worth it!). - Drink: fountain soda. $2 up charge for their freshly squeezed lemonade. They offer free refills. What I loved - The zucchini stix were great. Crispy and not overly greasy. - The burger was well made and had some fresh veggies. It tasted great but it was falling apart towards the end because it got - The lemonade is sweet and tart. Tasted pretty fresh. Good to know - You should order before grabbing a seat - We came at around 7:15 PM on a Thursday. It was empty but right after we took our seats, the place started to fill up. By the time we left, the place was filled with customers and the drive thru line was out of the parking lot. - It's a very casual place for a solo meal or a meet up with friends. Open seating with lots of tables. - Parking is fair. Your car can get blocked by the drive thru line during peak hours. Price point $/$$ - $10-20 per person - the price can easily add up if you do multiple up charges. Final Score: 4 out of 5 stars. Lost a star just because the burger got soggy and fell apart towards the end but I would definitely come back again to try something else. read more

I was having my car repaired down the street. Found Eat Fantastic on Yelp. Walked about .5 miles and was pleasantly surprised how clean and old school whimsical this place is.

TLDR: Came for the onion rings, stayed for the ranch. Traffic was a nightmare, onion rings were good but overpriced I had a serious craving for onion rings and heard this spot might hit the mark. First off--avoid this place during peak traffic hours (5-7 PM). East Live Oak gets insanely congested; it took me 30 minutes for a couple of miles. I used the drive-thru on a Friday evening, and while I can't speak to the dine-in vibe, the staff was friendly and got my order out quickly. I ordered just the onion rings, which came with a 2oz container of ranch--the *real* star of the show. Creamy, tangy, super flavorful. Honestly, I'd come back just for that ranch. Now for the downside--the onion rings themselves were solid, crispy, and well-seasoned, but not worth $7-for-9-rings good. I was shocked when I opened the box; it looked full at first glance, but there wasn't much in there. For fast food, the price felt steep, especially since they weren't anything mind-blowing. I won't be coming back for onion rings, but I'm open to giving their other menu items a try--just not during rush hour. read more

Eat Fantastic - Onions Rings $7 for 9 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arcadia, California

Eat Fantastic definitely stands by their name. The employees are very friendly and welcoming. Service is super quick, and the food comes out piping hot. There is no interior, but there are plenty of tables available on the covered patio (you order at the walk-up window). They also have a drive-thru. Although the dining area is outside, it's kept clean. They do have a good amount of parking in a private lot. Noise level is mild-moderate since they are located on a main road. There are plenty of food and drink options. They have more than just the classic burgers and fries (pastrami, tuna, chicken tenders, etc.), which is a huge bonus point. Tip: their lunch box is an amazing deal and is very filling. They also offer shakes, sodas, and coffee. Everything I ordered was delicious and great quality - dare I say Raising Cane's and In-N-Out have some real competition here? Prices are beyond fair; this is a good spot for those keeping to a tighter budget. 10/10 recommend. I would be a regular myself if I didn't live 2 hours away. read more

The lunch box for $12 really can't be beat. It really is the best deal in town. 5 stars for affordability and practicality. - The 2 tenders are huge and crispy and go great with their spread. - The fries I got were crispy and well seasoned. - The burger it came with had all the fixings and was solid. - It came with a cookie too but it was mid at best. If you want a great deal and awesome tasting food, give this place a shot. I'll be back to try the other offerings. read more

The moment I set eyes on this burrito I was confident that it was going to be good. That's why I took the photo beforehand. All the ingredients in this breakfast burrito, complemented one another. The salsa was more flavor rather than spice and that was okay. The lemonade was also refreshing. The outdoor seating and service was great. Can't wait to come back and try their other items. read more

Eat Fantastic - #79 Breakfast Burrito (Trio Burrito) ham, bacon, sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arcadia, California

Their lunch box combo is a fantastic deal, with fries, chicken tenders, a burger, a cookie, and sauces. I think two people could probably share this meal, especially if you ordered a shake too. While this is primarily drive through, they actually have a decently sized parking lot an a nice seating area with a walk up window. The tables are bench style for the most part, and I think you could fit 8 people at the larger ones. To be honest, I was not super impressed with the food. Everything is good, don't get me wrong, but it was the generic version of it all. This is the hamburger you picture when you think of a hamburger, same for the tenders and the fries. But all in all, I recommend it as the prices are good, the service is fast, and the people were friendly. read more

This location is tucked in but you can definitely see the giant "EAT" sign. The parking lot is a bit cramped and surrounds the drive thru line. There's few outdoor tables to dine-in which were clean. The staff were really nice and helpful. They give you a number to leave on your table and they bring the food over to you. The service was quick. The food was overall decent. I got the fantastic lunch box and strawberry milkshake. The burger was the highlight. The tenders and fries are alright. And you get a cookie! The shakes are good. They actually come with the wider straws. I can finally drink a shake with ease! This place is good for families and the prices are okay enough. I'd return to try more of their menu. read more

The poor customer service never fails to amaze me and not in a good way. Nearly every visit, they forget at least one item from our order. They close the window so quickly that you don't even have a chance to check your bag, and they avoid eye contact entirely, clearly signaling for you to move along instead of fixing the mistake. We genuinely love the food, which is the frustrating part, but at this point it just doesn't feel worth it anymore. We have wasted so much money paying extra for sauces that never get included and drinks that are frequently missed. Whoever is managing this location really needs to have a team meeting, because this place has so much potential, and it is being ruined by consistently poor service. read more

I always go for their lunch box, which comes with a hamburger, two chicken tenders, fries, and a warm cookie. I genuinely think this place has some of the best burgers around, and I love that it is loaded with more than just a plain patty. The whole meal is super satisfying and will definitely leave you full. The price for the lunch box is unbeatable. Highly recommend! read more

Saw the really good reviews here and I'm always down for a good burger, so this wasn't a bad choice. I really wanted to like this place. I mean, they painted a Kobe mural here. But the food just fell a little flat for me. Pros: - Excellent setup. Clean facility, well-organized, ample outdoor seating with a large screen TV. Would be a nice place to hang out and watch a game, although there's no alcohol served here. - Nice branding. Got that bright, new chain feel. And they give you real plates to eat on. - Prices are pretty good and the menu is varied enough to make you want to come back. They even serve breakfast here. - Place opens late until midnight and there's a drive-through. The Cons - basically the food. - Smash double melt - 5/10: Served on sourdough bread. Looked really tasty. However, the patties, though pretty large, weren't really smashed at all and didn't have any of that crisped edges that you would expect from a smashed patty. Also, there was just way too much of their Thousand Island burger sauce on it. Way too much. I couldn't really enjoy the burger without having to wipe my hands every bite. The sauce coupled with the sourdough slices just made it way too tarty as well. At the end, the burger was just a soggy, tarty mess that I just ended up finishing with a fork. - Garlic fries - 6/10: Looked good and they're on the thicker side, not quite steak fries. Unfortunately, they were fried a bit unevenly, with some pieces not cooked all the way through and a little raw. The presentation of the food is on point for sure, but the actual food itself for me was just so-so. Not sure if I'd come back, but they have a strong following so good for them. Anyone who puts a Kobe mural on their facility deserves props! read more

3.5 stars My boyfriend found this spot recently and enjoyed it enough to want me to try their food. I ended up ordering the city slicker burger which comes with onion rings, bbq sauce and bacon. I thought the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh and not overly wet (I hate soggy buns). I also enjoyed the fact that they grilled the buns so they had a nice light crispy texture and taste. I could've used a bit more bbq sauce, maybe I should've asked for a side of it. Anyway, I couldn't finish the whole burger (tho I did steal some fries and a bite of my boyfriend's chicken tenders hahah). His order of 3 piece chicken tenders came with fries and I thought the tenders had a nice crispy breading but the meat itself felt dry without dipping it in sauce. Their fan sauce is really good imo, it's more peppery and flavorful than in n out's animal sauce. The fries also had a nice coating of seasoning (make sure your fries have seasoning before you leave, they forgot to season his fries the first time he came which made a huge difference). I can't really speak to ambiance since I haven't physically been in. I'd be interested to try some of the other items on their menu tho so I'll be in at some point! read more

We dont live in the area, but if we did, this place would be my new food spot. Them cooking my bacon the way I like sold me.

Came with my sister and we both got the lunch box, for $12 you get a lot! The lunch box came with two tenders, a hamburger (upgraded to a cheeseburger for $1), fries and a cookie. We asked for water as our drink. We loved the tenders and the fries, but our burgers came out a little pink inside, and a little bland. Some would say it's medium rare. Personally I like my patties well done, with a generous amount of salt. As for the cookie, super soft and a perfect treat for the meat sweats. However, I do want to give this place five stars, so I will be coming back to give them another chance, as it wasn't bad but overall needs a little more improvement as far as burgers go. read more
