    Original Fatburger (1/3 lb.) meal
    Nicholas G.

    The Last Great Hamburger Stand. Great burgers and shakes. They carry Pepsi products at the soda fountain, a big plus in my book (I might have a small addiction to Mountain Dew ). Fries come skinny or fat. Shakes are made with ice cream, or they have a vegan option (not how that works). They have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, banana, and Oreo for flavors. Kids meals are available. Burgers can be customized to a point; a list of toppings are listed on menu or you can get it with everything (called, "the works"). Service is great! If you want to watch them cook up your order, their grill is visible from the counter. Dine-in orders are brought to the table. If you have a to-go order, there are photos and literature about 'Fat Burger' hanging on the walls to keep you busy.

    I was looking for a Whatsaburger, obviously I'm from out of state when I stumbled on this place. I ordered a double Fatburger, home made onion rings and a Maui-banana shake. The burger was great! Big juicy patties and a good flavor. Onion ring I'm on the fence in they're really home made or not. Regardless they were good. The shake was excellent less the canned whipped cream which Isla a deal killer for me. Will I return, absolutely. If you're craving a burger this is an excellent choice! Please is clean and the staff friendly. And a perk, they have my picture on the wall

    This was my first time trying Fatburger and it was pretty good! Inside was clean and gives a "retro" diner vibe. There are plenty of indoor seating options. The person who helped me was nice, patient and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. While waiting for your order you can look at some pictures on the wall of people who completed a challenge. I ordered the Impossible burger, fries and a vegan milk shake (mixed the chocolate and banana flavors together- yuum!!). Fries and shakes seem to come in one size. The fries were nothing out of the ordinary and the bruger tasted good. For what it is this burger place is a bit pricey. The Vegan shake was 10.99 at the time of writing this review and the Impossible burger was around the same price. If you want to add- on things it's an additional .50 per topping. I feel like the price doesn't really match the quantity and tase of the food compared to other burger places of the same ballpark. But, if you want to try something new then this is a place that you may want to give a go if you're in the mood for burgers and fries.

    Jalapeno Popper Burger with a little extra. Their added attitude didn't help.

    OK, here's my Fatburger story. Yesterday was my birthday. My wife's in the hospital and I'm dealing with everything. I didn't get a chance to eat and wanted a good solid burger, but did not want to move my butt. My first choice didn't deliver, so my kids said Fatburger would be good. I agreed. Wish I hadn't. On my first bite, I was greeted with paper! The paper wrapper from the cheese slices was left on. GROSS!!! That completely ruined my meal. I called them and the recording said they close at 8 and to call back tomorrow. This was at 7:58. Yes, just about 8, but when I ran a business, I closed things up AFTER closing hours, not before. So, I called back today. After explaining that I found paper inside the sandwich they prepared, the person I spoke with told me to contact the delivery company for a refund. What? I asked again. "I said there was paper in the sandwich you guys made. And I have to contact the delivery company?". And she confirmed that. I asked don't you care about the fact that your sandwich was made bad? I didn't wait for an answer. I hung up at that point. The level that customer service has sunk to keeps hitting new lows. And do people even care about their products any more?

    We came here for lunch and this was my first time having it. For starters it was a really cool setup for the location. We came in and everyone was masked up and we were able to pick a table in the corner that was further from anyone. I came in not knowing what I wanted but after looking at the menus the sizes said it all. I decided to go with the large which is a 1/2 pound burger with onion, lettuce, pickles, cheese and thousand island sauce with the fat fries.(They have two sets of fries; the skinny fries and the fat fries. The fat fries are steak fries) The food was cooked to order and came out fairly quickly. The food was very good and has been the best burger that I've had since I have been in California. It was actually better than the in and out burger I had a few days ago. Overall I know what to order next time and when I return it will be where I go for a good burger and it's not overly priced.

    NO GLOVES-NO THANKS!

    NOTE THIS REVIEW IS DURING THE PANDEMIC I went in to Fatburger as I was waiting for my phone at the Sprint store next door. Upon entering, I notice they were practicing social distancing, but one of the workers did not have gloves on. She is the "cashier", she took my order, took my card, handed my card back to me, with no glove. At first I thought it was strange b/c she didn't wash her hands before or after, but I ignored it as I had hand sanitizer in my bag. But as I continued to watch her, she bagged my fries in the french fry packet and put them in my bag w/ the burger. She then folded the bag down and handed it to me. I asked her why she wasn't wearing gloves if she was handling food and her response was, I don't have to, I am a cashier. I told her I saw you handle my fries and bag w/ my food. She said "I only touched the paper pouch I put the fries in", plus "I am a cashier". Maybe I am wrong but anyone handling food should be wearing gloves during this Pandemic. Needless to say, I didn't want to make a scene but I kindly walked out, threw away my food and just donated $12.06 to this place. DISGUSTED!!!

They're the kind of wings you'll be thinking about long after your meal. I would definitely come back, and honestly, the chili wings alone are worth the trip!

Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients!

They have a good selection of beer, milkshakes, and drinks. You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!

They are owned by the Cohen restaurant group which is notorious for reheating Cisco supplied food but they got the decor and environment you want to hang out in for a long time. There is a reason they own so many spots and do so well. I will keep paying twice the price here than go somewhere cheaper and be around miscreants and degenerates.
