Service is a 10/10!!!! I'm so happy when I found places where they have such attentive servers and friendly staff!! It's a very spacious place with lots of parking! They have an extensive selection of foods and drinks! They also have alcoholic drinks!

Breakfast burritos . I cut them in half, I ordered the trio (bacon,ham sausage), the carne asada breakfast burritos, and the chorizo
Sotheary B.

So far I have ordered the breakfast burritos (it's huge) and the McMuffins and hash brown and everything is fresh delicious and affordable... the cashiers and cooks are very accommodating and nice... great service great prices and yummy food

I was looking to have hash browns in my chorizo burrito. They put slice potatoes in the burrito I dont like slices potatoes. N its mostly potatoes. No eggs or chorizo. Never get this again.

Horrible taste of ranch and thousand?   And I paid for this??  Smh.

Coming from the Real Fantastics on the West Side of LBC off of Sante Fe. I am disappointed with this spot. Just moved in the area and thinking this Fantastics was going to be as good as the spots on The West Side of LBC, on Lakewood, on back side of CSULB. But This one disappointed me and my family! First off... I ordered 3 main meals and I waited 40 minutes for my food!! People after me got their food first! Then... I get home. And y'all know about the Ranches and The Thousands sauces... Fantastic has a thick creamy taste. Everywhere I've been to has been the same except for here! One dip of our food in these ranches and my family threw it out like it was yesterday's dinner! My tater tots were dry and hard! My chicken for my taco salad was over cooked and hard to chew?? My chocolate milk shake was not the bizznezz! My family couldn't and didn't finish our food. I will drive to the other Fantastics then go to this dry place! Over cooked my food?? Hopefully this spot gets better but tonight... big disappoinment!

Cheeseburger combo w/ ranch :-)

Food is always great and service is fast. It's my favorite burger spot and the fries are seasoned and delicious. I always get ranch for the fries for $0.50 extra.

What are your guys' favorite things to get here?

Definitely get their fries or chili cheese fries (so good without being greasy) & I recommend their breakfast burritos too (it's filled with their spiced potatoes, eggs, and your choice of meat) Haven't tried them myself yet but I've also heard good…

Okay, I ordered a single without cheese which I think was a mistake. The burger included lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions. I think they seasoned the meat but I think if I would've kept the cheese it would've had more flavor. The fries were nice and crispy and hot. The counter person was very helpful and friendly. The ambiance was a mall food court so you have a lot of people eating with you.

I was craving something crunchy and unhealthy and decided on chili cheese fries. The fries were…read morestill crunchy, despite it being in a to go box for about 20 minutes on the way home. Large Chili cheese fries costs $12.14 at the time of this writing. Chili and cheese make a perfect combo. Not too salty either. You can see some greasy layer on top, so dont expect anything healthy. The cheese hits different and isnt generic Kraft cheese you can get at the store in case you were wondering, "we have cheese at home." It's nothing like what you can buy at the grocery store. It is worth the extra dollar. Service was quick. Friendly cashier. Practically empty restaurant inside since most people use the drive thru or order to go. I would buy again. Their fries are peak.

It reminds me of my childhood in the best way. There's just something about a classic burger with that Thousand Island spread that you don't find everywhere anymore. My go-to order is the bacon cheeseburger with chili cheese fries, and it never disappoints. The flavors are exactly what you want, simple, satisfying, and consistently good. I always get a side of ranch too, which just takes everything up a notch. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If I'm taking it to go, I like to get the lettuce and tomato on the side so the burger doesn't get soggy, I definitely recommend doing that. Price-wise, it is a little on the higher side for a burger and fries combo, but honestly, the quality and taste make it worth it. It's one of those spots you go to when you want something you know is going to be good every time.

If you read my original review, you know the service was terrible. This time, though, Jorge took great care of us. He checked on us often, made sure we had everything we needed, and was friendly from start to finish. That's the kind of service I was hoping for the first time around. The food was much better too, especially the fries! Y'all know they were trash in my first review. This time they were hot and crispy. I ordered the Fresno Fig Burger with fig marmalade, goat cheese, bacon, tomato, red onion, arugula, and spicy porter mustard. Whew... that burger was good! The combination of sweet and savory flavors just worked. My husband and I ended the meal by sharing the Bourbon Barrel Cake with candied pecans, bourbon caramel, and vanilla bean ice cream. Listen, don't leave without ordering it. It was absolutely delicious.

The evening started off strong, as we stopped by during Hoppy Hour (around 9ish). There wasn't a wait, and it wasn't too busy, so we were seated right away. The front staff was nice and polite. She gave us the option of either a tall round table or a shorter rectangular table. We of course, opted for the slightly shorter (height-wise) rectangular table. Once we were seated, we were given the menu, and the waitress told us that we would be right with us. She stopped by to ask about drinks, and we opted for water. She dropped off water and came back with perfect timing because by then we were ready to order. I also love the simplicity of the menu. There really aren't too many options where you feel overwhelmed, but there are still enough choices to pick from. Shout out to the pastrami quesadilla, I didn't realize it had been swapped for a new menu item until I asked about it this time around, but I'll be waiting for its comeback! We ordered a few items: the mac and cheese balls, the Wagyu bone marrow burger with truffle fries, and a double smash burger with ribbed finger potatoes. We had to get the mac and cheese balls since it was Hoppy Hour! I also didn't realize that on Wednesdays, the double smash burgers are half off. I'll definitely remember that for next time. After we ordered, the food came out quicker than I expected. It was a nice surprise. I think the first item came out about 10 minutes after our initial order. The mac and cheese balls came out hot, which was great. The breading made them super crispy and gave a nice crunch that balanced really well with the softer, chewier mac and cheese inside. I was glad the inside wasn't too runny since that would have made it like lava! I didn't see a cheese pull this time, but next time I'll try again to see if I can catch one. It was a great start to the meal. The burgers came out shortly after we finished the mac and cheese balls. I totally forgot that the truffle fries came with sauce. I should have asked for the sauce on the side, but it wasn't a problem that it was added on top of the fries. It just made them get soggy a bit faster, but that's no problem; it just means I've got to work faster! The burger was good and came out super juicy. I asked for it medium, and it looked about medium, so no complaints here! I never realized before, but the bread was so fluffy... it was a super pillowy bun with a nice bounce to it. It definitely helped balance out the meatiness of the patty. The hint of tomato gave it a nice, refreshing bite and really helped cut through the richness of the meat. The onions also added a nice sweetness to the burger, which was appreciated. I also snuck a bite of the ribbed potatoes, and they were good as well. They were a bit crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside, with just a touch of saltiness. I also stole a pickle from the double smash and realized I probably should have asked for pickles on my burger, but I'll remember that for my next visit!

My husband and I have been wanting to try the Ube sliders for a while, and we decided to get that. We also go the Panda Style fries with spam. When we got our food, everything looked so delicious. We've had the Panda Style Fries before. And it never disappoints. The fries have great taste from the seasoning to the sauce. And the spam brings out that saltiness the fries need. I love the grilled onions on top. We usually eat it from the top to the bottom, so we usually don't get much sauce or toppings when we get to the bottom. I think it's meant to be mixed, but we don't want it to get mushy. The be sliders were good. The patty, sauce, and grilled onions were good. The Ube bread didn't have much Ube taste to us (imo). And I felt like I was getting more bread than the actually patty and what was inside the burger. I felt like I could have used more sauce to soften up the dry texture I get from the bed. But overall it was good. This place is located inside the Steelcraft so it has a nice, chill ambiance. The place can get busy, especially when they are showing games. But a nice place to hang out and chill over some food and drinks.
