    excessive wait time , 2 people went ahead of my order, order was a simple order, very incompetent, poor customer service, dirty dining area ,

    Jasmin H.

    Rough neighborhood, the El Pollo Loco is relatively clean though. I would recommend the under 500 calories meals. The drive through is often crowded and on top of that the line blocks getting in our out parking spaces. The server, Katherine, is very friendly and professional.

    Hair

    This past week I went through the drive through as I usually do. I have never had a problem coming here for the past 2 years but this will be the last time I go there. Staff was nice but the cleanliness is a negative rating for me. The first bite I took from my pollo bowl I took out a ball of HAIR from my mouth. I spent about $45 this time I went and I returned and showed them the ball of hair in my food. What I don't understand is how a BALL of HAIR gets in the food and how was it MISSED!?? By far the worst experience I have had. The whole staff needs to be re-trained on health code! At least they gave me my Money back....

    El polo loco bathroom is unsanitary and no toilet paper. Wouldn't recommend this place.

    This place is horrible asked for them to clean the restroom they refused and said out of toilet paper. A big turn off for me too thumbs down.

The food is outstanding, the portions are generous, and the burgers live up to the hype. What makes it even better is that you're not just getting a great meal; you're experiencing a piece of Los Angeles history. Places like this are becoming rare, and Hawkins House of Burgers has earned its legendary status. If you're a local and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. And if you're visiting Los Angeles, put this place on your list.

Waited another 10min, while I saw other people picking up orders, so I checked in again. Same response, not ready yet. Another 10min passed by, now I'm seeeing people who came after me get their orders before me. Asked the staff again for my order status. The order pick up window person shouted my name to the kitchen each time I checked in. Finally the 3rd time they responded, they start arguing, apparently my order was done a long time ago, and it was given to someone else. It took 30min to figure out that my order had already been done and given to someone else because there was no communication between the kitchen, order staff or pick up staff. no apology, just got my food after the argument 3minutes later...Food was average, definitely not worth a 30min wait.

    Okay, here's the scoop. For over the last three years, my family and I have been passing by Jim…read moreDandy. Each time we passed by, it seemed like they were closed and or never answered their phone when we called to see if they were open. We kept telling each other one day we're going to stop by and see if they actually are open. So on Friday after exiting the freeway I made my way to Jim Dandy and saw folks going in and coming out. This location is in the middle of the hood. They have bulletproof windows once inside and this location is order and pickup, no dining available. I didn't see the menu until I was done with ordering. Which made it hard for myself. I seen the menu after I ordered. I walked out with 12 pieces of chicken regular not spicy. Corn fritters, macaroni salad, peach cobbler and a banana pudding. Once home we set up our table and began to devour our food. We were blown away with the chicken it is better than most places we have been to not saying any names. The pieces of chicken were huge fresh and crispy. The macaroni salad was just right amount of mayo and seasoning. The peach cobbler was wrapped perfectly not damaging the crust. The banana pudding was a little watery not sure if that was due to the heat going on in the bag as everything was bagged together. I immediately put it in refrigerator so it could get cold and become solid than running. I have no idea what there hours are next time I go in I'll ask or look for signs. There is plenty parking not that folks stay long. Food seems to come out in a timely manner. So parking comes and goes. I cannot wait to try there dirty rice and corn fritters without the powder sugar. I didn't get a photo of them as they got devoured.

The building itself looks pretty run down and dilapidated, but it's kinda a vibe, not gonna lie. There's a bit of parking surrounding the building and only like two other cars. The bullet proof glass is certainly a choice LOL. The menu is behind the glass, and the prices are pretty fair! I got like a four piece with a side. The chicken itself is pretty crispy, but I don't recall it being particularly flavorful. Like it had a decent spice and good crispy outer coating, but the chicken meat itself felt on the tad side of dry and probably could've used more salt or something. Fries were just ok. I really like the fritters!

Now, I'm not gonna hold you... it was expensive. I ordered through DoorDash and got a burger with jalapeño ranch, bacon, cheese, and a prickly pear lemonade. (The lemonade honestly just tasted like regular lemonade. Nothing to hype up.) My friend got tacos, a blueberry lemonade, and ranch, and somehow our total came out to $78. Absolutely wild. But back to this burger... I got it cooked medium rare, of course. I actually asked for no house sauce, but they put it on there anyway. Normally I'd be annoyed, but honestly... it didn't even matter because that burger was STILL incredible. As I was biting into it, the juices were literally running down my hands, onto my shirt, and onto my pants. Did I care? Absolutely not. I ate about 75% of it in one sitting because it was huge. Later, I came back and finished the rest cold because it had lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles on it, and I was too lazy to take everything off just to warm it up. And somehow... it was still delicious cold. Oh, and the tater tots? Super crispy. They paired perfectly with the jalapeño ranch.

The food was good as always. Have yet to have a complaint about that. Best turkey burgers outside of my house.
