    Breakfast burrito with possibly the worst hashbrowns in the world.
    Ruben G.

    I just ordered a breakfast burrito from this place and correct me if I'm wrong but breakfast burritos usually come with hashbrowns. We came in my breakfast burrito look like what should have been hashbrowns, but ended up being very greasy mashed potatoes. I am a breakfast burrito type of guy and this is my friends was one of the worst.

    Corn beef hash and eggs
    Jessica G.

    This was my 2nd time here, ordered corn beef hash and eggs with hash browns so good, my daughter ordered the pancakes. It was a delicious meal, I did forget to take a photo of her pancakes though. They also do have a drive through which is nice. I ordered the food over the phone and picked it up. The parking lot is big so there is a lot of parking available. Inside is clean and lots of seats available to dine in as well. The lady at the register was really sweet too and got my order ready as soon as I walked in. I would recommend this place it's good for breakfast and lunch items. Thank you for wonderful service and delicious food! Have a beautiful day :) Aloha

    Love coming here. Good is always good the service is a true 10 and prices are really good. Very clean and like the booths. I got the French toast combo with a pineapple juice. They have some tasty flavors. I would come here everyday if it wasn't for me being across town .

    Club sandwich and zucchini, soo bomb!!!!

    Hamburgers are always fresh and not soggy like most burger spots, club sandwich is very good and the zucchini fries are delicious

    Simple yet clean, everything is cooked to perfection. We are elderly so we split the country fried chicken. Didn't look like anything special but boy was it delicious! The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Could have been a little more substantial but as it turned out was the perfect size for the two of us! I would totally recommend this place and it should be famous for its unique style and cooking!

    Famous Burgers: Junior Cheeseburger and fries
    Lorri D.

    Nothing fancy, nothing bad... just a good ol' place to go get a burger and fries, or whatever your tastebuds are craving! There's a vast menu with so many options. One thing that stands out on the menu are the fried mushrooms; not greasy, just delicious warm shrooms in a crispy fried batter. A bit pricey at just about $5 for a side, but they are worth checking out, definitely enough to share with a buddy or two. Breakfast options are burritos, sandwiches, omelets, French toast, pancakes... plenty of sides and flavors. I've had the chorizo burrito (it's a big guy!) and you can choose to have that with hash browns and cheese or with rice and beans (maybe a combo of those things if you ask nicely). I liked the burrito, but wish the hash browns would have been a whole lot crispier, still good though. Omelet with sausage and hash browns is a nice big tummy warmer. Most breakfasts are between $5-10 so you may also want to check out the specials, more bang for your buck. Club Sandwich, Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich, Cheeseburger, Wet Burritos, Nachos, Greek options, Hot Dogs, Fried Chicken... the list goes on. So far, everything we've tried has fit the bill. Pricing on lunch and dinner menu ranges from $7-12. Parking is small, but so is the restaurant, we've never had a hard time finding a spot to park. There's a drive-thru as well, if you prefer. Service has been really friendly and nice, served at your table after you order at the counter. Fairly fast delivery from order to table. No refills on drinks without a charge (although there is also a sign now that says no refills due to Covid...). Kinda bummed they don't make fresh shakes here, that would be killer! Although the prices are a bit high for this type of place, there are a lot of options and just about something for everyone. Quality has always seemed pretty upstanding and you do get a nice portion size, so really can't complain. Seems reviews are hit or miss on Famous Burgers, but we've always had a nice experience. I guess just try it for yourself. Always check out the specials, nice deals! CHEERS!

    Breakfast burritos are decent, not the best. Better breakfast places around the area.

We made a reservation and were seated immediately. This location is always very clean and welcoming. We ordered strawberry mimosas, the simple breakfast, omelettes and a burrito with a side of green sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection. The best part of this visit was being served by Thaer. Thaer was a great waiter and extremely attentive. He continued to check on us and did not try to rush us out even though we took quite a bit of time. We would definitely recommend this location and we will definitely be back with hopes to be served by Thaer again! (Sorry not photos, we came hungry and I forgot to take them ‍)

We didn't think we would get seated fast because the parking lot was pretty full. But we got lucky and were seated right away. Service is pretty good , they have a lot of people working here. The place is really big and has a lot of seating. It was quite busy. I ordered a Spanish omelette and my son ordered the blueberry pancakes. My omelette was ok, it had way too much peppers and I didn't see the cheese , it comes with a side so I went with country potato with onions and bell peppers. I only wish that it included some kind of toast. My son's pancakes were ok, they are only topped with blueberries we thought the blueberries were going to be inside the batter or inside the pancake. He had to add a lot of syrup to make them soft. The one thing I will say is that the house coffee is very good. It's Lavazza coffee which is really good. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying some other options or coming back for lunch or happy hour.

But now that I've kind of moved on from my Bennie phase, I found myself staring at the menu wondering what to order instead. After going back and forth for a while, I decided on the Serrano Chicken Sandwich - and it ended up being a great choice according to our server. It had a really nice spicy kick, and I especially loved the crunchy onions that added extra texture to every bite. I picked the mixed greens salad as my side, though the dressing made it a little too sour for my taste so I couldn't finish it. My boyfriend, who's a big omelette person, ordered the veggie omelette. It was decent, though I do wish they offered more than just 4 omelette options on the menu. Overall, still a good brunch spot with good food and a nice atmosphere.

I can't remember everything we ordered, but I will say what stood out to me were the Lomo Saltado and Smoked Salmon Waffle. Lomo Saltado's portion was a bit small, but my friend really enjoyed her plate and she said the flavors played off one another wonderfully. The Smoked Salmon waffle inherently doesn't sound like anything special, but I was so glad I ordered it. The fresh ingredients featured weren't overly salty, the portion-to-price point ratio was a nice surprise, and the waffle itself was quite fluffy. I really enjoyed this. Funny enough, I had to take the other half home because I was so stuffed. More Deets: - Took less than 10 mins to get seated - Attentive Customer Service - Plenty of Parking - Hot Tea wasn't anything special, wouldn't get this again I'd love to come back and try more of the menu the next time I'm in the area!

You can pick either red or green salsa. I liked the green salsa as it had a good balance of spice and flavor. The burrito has a lot of hash browns, which can overpower the overall flavor and other ingredients. The breakfast burrito seemed a little pricy, but the portion size made up for it.
