    I had this place in my bookmarks for so long (literally months). I finally decided to go try it on a weekday and although I absolutely loved the friendly, fast and courteous service, and think the ambiance was ok, the food itself was not something stellar. I got the XXL Fatbuger (a whole pound of goodness) and regular Fat Fries and although I do appreciate the massive portions, I don't think the flavor itself was extraordinary. The fries needed a bit of extra salt and the burger was good but did not have that much seasoning either (or maybe I'm just used to saltier burgers, like the ones from McDonald's). This place is right across from Pasadena City College, so definitely a convenient place for College students to grab a quick bite, or for workers in the area to go grab lunch, but not a place that I would choose to go out of my way for ever again.

    Wow! Today's meal was absolutely fantastic! The restaurant was spotless, and the service was excellent and friendly

    had a strawberry milkshake, will probably get a beer next time

    been ages since I had. meal at Fatburger... glad I came here instead of InNOut. Price point is bit higher than others, but not too bad given the quality and size of the meat on the burger. Love how they cook to order and the meat is fried up the way I like it, with a crust. The strawberry milkshake made with real ice cream containing real strawberry... a real treat. Customer service is also friendly and efficient.

    Well, everything I touched was sticky from the salt and pepper shakers to my tray that my food was on, to my table and to my chair. As I well as one of the workers proceeded to cut her finger nails with a nail clipper at the counter, which I could see and hear. The burger & fries were ok. This will be the last time I go here.

    I'm not a burger girl but I do like a Fatburger. I ordered over the phone to go. My order was ready upon my arrival within 10 minutes and fresh. Resturant dining area and bathroom were clean. If you have a rewards punch card from a different location they will not honor card. Medium fat cheeseburger 10/10 Fat fries with a side of seasoning salt 10/10 Lemonade 10/10

    Skinnyburger

    This was my first time ever having Fatburger and it was satisfying! I got the skinnyburger which is basically two patties that sandwich the fixings together. I thought this was delicious and flavorful. My bro got the XXXL which was insanely big and he loved every bite of it. Let's just say he barely ate anything the entire day so it was called for lol. We shared the onion rings which I thought were below average, and the skinny fries were average. For a treat I got the Craig's Vegan Strawberry Shake which was pretty tasty for it being vegan. In sum, I would come back for a large burger.

    Vanilla Milkshake and Chocolate Milkshake

    Been 2 years but I'm back. 2 Originals. Fat fries and 2 milkshakes. Quick service. Nice young lady. Clean cause it looks like we caught them at shift change. Same nice girl just got done mopping. Burgers yummy. Yup fat fries is the one. Shakes nice and thick. They need fatter straws. You need to let it sit and think of it as dessert. I'll be back.

    Located in a sort of mini mall of fast food, Fatburger shares its space with Chipotle, Kaiba sushi and a Starbucks. Hubby wanted a burger so Fatburger it was. Not crowded the Sunday after Thanksgiving so we put our orders in quickly and took a table. The place, while showing signs of wear was very clean. We split an order of sweet potato fries. Hubby got the basic burger (no pickles or mustard or cheese). I got a turkey burger no bun. The place also offers the impossible burger and chicken wings. The no bun burger turned out to be substantial. The two turkey patties were "the bun" and I got all the veges-lettuce, tomatoes, pickles etc. Tasty! Maybe a tad over salted but still good. Hubby enjoyed his too. The sweet potato fries were a tad overdone but I loved them that way. Nicely crunchy! Solid fast food. Good service. Easy parking in back.

    Fat burger is over Rated and over priced. Your ranch dressing is like water. Get better ranch.

This time I got their mango aguafresca, flan, esquite, and chicken torta to try. The mango agua Fresca was sweet mangoy and refershing. The flan was firmer than what I'm used to but was still super creamy, not too sweet and had plenty of this caramely toasty flaves. It's corn season and the corn in the esquite MNM. Amazingly buttery juicy sweet and generously topped with rich mayo, Cotija cheese and tajin. The torta was also REALLY YUMMY and was filled with crunchy fresh onions, lettuce, tomato, and radish, soft beans, savory cheese, and tender limey flavorful perfectly grilled chicken. I even added some of their super fresh yummy guac and omg pure deliciousity right there. Overall this place is still pretty good. Mango agua Fresca $5 Flan $5 Esquite $7 Chicken torta $12 +$4 guac

Gave me a few samples of their water and all were good. Food wasn't bad at all. Got a taco of Asada, solid but nothing crazy. ($3 eh...) Horchata was really good. $6 for a large (average price) Esquite was good, but nothing crazy. Portion was small, but not terrible. $7 averageish price. Buñuelo was very good. Expensive at $1.25 for the side. This is where the 1 star comes. I got an all meat burrito of arrachera. It was a bit salty. Meat was good. Salsa is spicy. BUT THE PORTION. The portion was ridiculous. Smallest burrito I've ever had. Half the burrito was taken up by a roasted onion, which I asked for no onions. $18 is insane. Especially for the portion. $40 spent in total and I'm still hungry. If I ever come back to this place. I wouldn't get any food (maybe a buñelo). Lady cook wasn't the nicest. She probably knew I'd be upset at the portion they gave me. This place is clearly catered to gringos as an "authentic" Mexican restaurant. I hate leaving 1 star, but $18 for a mini burrito is just insane.

It was always a real treat. As a teenager I dated a couple of the girls that worked there so I was there on the regular in those days. In my 20's I lived right up the street and hit them up quite often. I don't get there as much as I'd like nowadays but when I do, it is always consistently great. Times have definitely changed but Connal's quality food and super customer service has not! I am a huge Combination Grinder fan and have not ordered anything different for well over 30 years. They are always stacked with lots of high quality cold cuts and delicious Provolone, crisp shredded Lettuce,thin sliced Onions and Vinegar and Oil on a delicious French Roll. In my teens and 20's I did try many samplings on their vast menu and as memory serves, everything was always delicious. Today's Grinder absolutely hit the spot! It had been a while since I last tasted one but the Combo Grinder most definitely never disappoints. I went for it, and got Zings (Zucchini Sticks and Onion Rings). Super hot, crisp and very tasty, especially with some Bleu Cheese Dressing. Jesse took my order and he was very personable and showed me some excellent customer service. If you are looking for some great grub, you cannot lose with Sandwiches By Connal. It is not the original owners but they have kept the same quality and standards over the years.

This hidden gem had incredible sandwiches and portions for unbearable prices. $10 for a sandwich? In LA county?? AND it was good?? Unbeatable. I love a good grinder (pictured) but the stars of the show were the Philly cheesesteak that my boyfriend got and our onion rings. It is so rare to have an onion ring nowadays that doesn't slide out of the batter. Will be back!!

Stuff isn't just sitting there for hours like at some of the smaller Panda locations. And there's nothing worse than stale orange chicken! Another bonus is that they have dishes here you wouldn't find at most other spots. That's why they call it the innovation kitchen. They are creating different items and you're their test subjects! Anyway, a good time was had by all!

    I am a resident of Hastings Ranch. I am writing to report an unpleasant experience I recently had…read moreat your Hastings Ranch Panda Express location. During my visit, I ordered a Family Feast with chow mein, orange chicken, chicken with green beans, and eggplant tofu. Since I do not like tofu, I politely asked the employee serving me, Austin, if he could provide the eggplant with little or no tofu. Austin immediately told me that he could not do that and that the dish had to be served with tofu. Unsatisfied with the response, I approached the cashier, Hannah, and asked if I could speak with the manager. Hannah responded professionally and asked if she could help first. She listened to my concern, treated me respectfully, and attempted to assist me. I even complimented her by saying that she demonstrated excellent customer service and that I would hire someone with her attitude anytime. After hearing my compliment to Hannah, Austin appeared upset. Instead of focusing on serving customers, he approached Hannah and confronted her. He then went to find the manager, Ken. I found this behavior unprofessional and inappropriate, especially in front of customers. I even have a photograph showing part of this interaction. When Manager Ken came out, I explained my concern regarding Austin's attitude and lack of customer service. After some discussion, Ken eventually agreed to provide the eggplant dish with only a small amount of tofu. This demonstrated that a reasonable accommodation could have been made from the beginning. My concern is not the food itself but the manner in which I was treated. Austin seemed more interested in defending himself and discussing the matter with coworkers and management than serving customers. His behavior created an uncomfortable atmosphere and reflected poorly on the restaurant. I would like this matter reviewed and hope that additional customer service training can be provided. On the other hand, I would like to commend Hannah for her professionalism, patience, and excellent customer service. She handled the situation far better than expected and represented your company well. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter. Henry Aba

Both order the exact same thing, one right after the other. A few minutes later, both orders are called. First guy gets his order and says he needs more red salsa. He gets more salsa, no questions, no charge. Second guy gets his exact same order immediately after. He asks if he can have an extra salsa. He's told it's an extra $0.75. There was no pause, no gap in between the 2 men's interactions. Literally stood next to each other, ordered the same thing, one got free salsa, the other got charged. A table full of people nearby, tilt their heads and cock their eyebrows in disbelief. Free salsa guy happens to be White. Paid salsa guy is Asian. Coincidence? You can decide for yourself. We all know discrimination and prejudice exists. It's an unfortunate part of life. I'm no stranger to it. It's usually not quite this overt. This was a little too blatant to just sweep under the rug. Is having to spend an extra $0.75 a big deal? No. Is blatant discrimination? It's enough to stop supporting this business.
