This place is under new management. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their zucchini fries, pastrami quesadilla, express burger, and tuna melt to try. This was my first time having zucchini fries and they gave me so much! These ones were homemade, heavily battered, stayed super crispity crunchity, but also were kinda bland? Paired well with the ranch given tho. Never heard of a pastrami quesadilla but this one was MASSIVE, nicely grilled and was filled with some nutty lettuce that kinda got soggy but that's ok cuz I lowkey like soggy lettuce, tender savory pastrami, and some gooey cheese. The burger was hefty and was stacked with perfectly ripe avocado, actually still crisp bacon, savory cheese, a nice charbroiled meaty patty, juicy tomato, fresh crunchy lettuce and sliced onions, with some slightly sweet tangy thousand island and pickles all on a sesame seed bun. Hit the spotttt. This was also my first time getting a tuna melt and it was rich creamy a bit tart not offensively fishy and comforting with gooey cheese and crunchy celery bits all on perfectly buttery toasted bread. Pure deliciousity. And from now to June 15th if you follow them on insta and show them this post you can get 10% off! So definitely go check em out cuz this place is pretty good.

What a great place to have a HUGE, DELICIOUS, and well-prepared meal. My family and I had business in the area, and we were craving breakfast. We are so glad we decided to visit this restaurant for the first time. The restaurant itself is located in a very busy industrial area. It is a large and clean restaurant with many tables and booths. The menu, which is clearly posted behind the counter, is extensive and offers many options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also signs posted throughout the restaurant featuring specials and specialty items. The entire staff, including the owner, who happened to be working the register during our visit, was extremely friendly, welcoming, hardworking, and appeared to appreciate each customer who visited the restaurant. My family and I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito, eggs, turkey bacon, and hash browns combo, and I had a veggie omelet with hash browns. The portion sizes were HUGE, and the food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was truly cooked to perfection. It really was good. At one point, I leaned over the counter to thank the chef for preparing such a delicious breakfast. He appeared surprised yet thankful for the compliment. I also wish to thank the owner for providing top-notch service, as he personally delivered our order to our table, including utensils, and checked on us a couple of times, as did a very nice and friendly female employee who was seen working nonstop. We will DEFINITELY be back for breakfast soon. read more

I was craving a burrito so I was hoping this place would have one. Sure enough, they did have an asada burrito on the menu so I went ahead and ordered one. In a few minutes the burrito came and the lady dropped off some green salsa for me. It came with some rice so I started with a big scoop on my fork. RAW CRUNCHY RICE. WHAT THE HECK. I know people don't usually order burritos at a burger place so maybe they don't sell alot of rice but RAW RICE? Each bite was powdery. I was about to write a one star review until.... I ate the burrito. Holy smokes that was the most flavorful asada I've had in a burrito. That meat was seasoned perfectly and the cheese and onion inside was perfect. It was a roller coaster with every bite. I usually drench my burritos in salsa but there was no need for this magnificent burrito. Now what do I rate this? bad rice but great burrito? I'd say it's a solid 4 stars. Maybe they'll let me order fries with the burrito instead of the rice. read more

Background On Visit: Finally patronized the shop after driving by this place many times. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: Restroom are available. Don't know about the women's restroom, but there's an area that is uneven when you step in. So be careful when you walk in. Location/Parking: Located on Workman Mill Rd.. Plenty of parking available. Ambiance/Decor: Mom and pop shop. Kinda reminds me of Jim's Burger with plenty of modern furnishings to sit and eat. Service: Esperenda, staffer, was very nice. Attentive, friendly, informational about the shop, and offered great suggestions. When I asked her if she preferred the express burger or the turkey sandwich, she said she would recommend the Xpress burger. Food didn't take to long to come out. Food Of Choice: I got the all day Xpress burger lunch special, which came with fries and onion rings, but you can get all fried zucchini, and a drink. Loved the burger. It came with with guac, bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onions. Thought it was cool that the lunch special came with fries and onion rings, or all fried zucchini. Other places offer fries by default. Note: They charge 1 ranch container for $.35 cents or 3 ranch containers for $1.00. You save $0.05 if you buy 3. Hamburger Express For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

They fixed the bathroom problem. When you leave the bathroom there is sanitizer. The new owner is keeping the food good. I just need to remember to have the burger cooked less. read more

Been quite some time since been back here and a few things changed. Doors are closed now, thank goodness. They also got rid of the salad bar that was in the middle, RIP salad bar. Prices are modest compared to other places now but my bill still came out to $50 for a colossal burger, double cheeseburger, tender meal and chili cheese fries, so still on the higher priced side. They gained another star as everyone was very friendly and also the taste, for me, was better than before. read more

Hmm they are "ok" if you want just a Wuxi fix this does it. Do you like steak fries? They got that here. Burgers are decent! Steak fries just not for me personally. Onion rings are pretty large! If I don't feel like going far. I stop by here but I have a few more places ranked higher before coming here. But I do support small business here n there! read more

No issue with parking. Every close to Rio Hondo. Their menu is huge with a variety of selections. The indoor decor for sure was not impressive at all. But it was clean. The price is slightly higher than expected, avg about $9 to 12. I ordered a colossal burger without any sides now drinks. They do charge for other small thing, including credit card fees of 3.75%, and ranch. It just seems the owner is trying to nickle and dime every customer. Not a good feeling. $4 for fountain drinks, a bit expensive. I had friends who shared their onion rings and fries with me. I was not impressed at all. The onion rings was overly fried, and the fries were mehhhh.... The colossal burger was not too bad itself. The vege inside were fresh. The burger meat was slightly on the dried side, and the pastrami was ok. The service was barely existent. The counter cashier takes the order, one of them delivers it to your table, and you bring your own plates back to the disposal area. Overall, it is not good nor bad. I'd give it a 3.1 out of 5. read more

Food was ok edible for sure but what was bugging us were these flies all over our food inside the restaurant. If your gonna keep the door open at least have that fan that doesn't allow flies to go into the restaurant. Once it landed a few times on my food it just wasn't a good environment to eat at. Maybe take the food to go and don't try eating inside. Idk. Food was coo and not busy at all. The flies ruined it for me. read more

I will keep this place in business till the day I die. I have been coming here since 2010. You can't go wrong with the buffalo wild wings with zucchini or the hamburger special with zucchini. read more

I usually stop by once a month for a nostalgic taste of old school burgers, made like how I remember growing up. My usual is the bacon cheeseburger but I'll have to expand out on my next visit. I like that they include onion rings with their fries so I don't have to separately order it. It's a pretty hefty burger and a good amount of fries so I think it's worth the price (more than what you'd get at any other chain fast food place). Service is pretty quick -- once you order, they'll give you a number and come find your table once your food is ready. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

We've been coming to Hamburger Express for the past 10 years. It used to be really great before the new owners took over. The quality is hit or miss. Sometimes the food is really good, other times the fries lack flavor or are very mushy and the buns are dry. They also charge for ranch, which now comes in smaller containers than they used to. Sometimes they don't put the ranch in your bag, so make sure to check for it before leaving. For a while they had a sign saying you get a discount for paying cash, but in reality, the cash prices were on the menu and you just paid more for using a card. You didn't actually get a discount off the prices on the menu. Talk about deceptive. They must've got complaints because it now says the menu prices are for cash only. Also, be sure to check your receipts. I ordered a cheeseburger combo and hot wings (no combo). It was about $35 and I thought it was a bit pricey. Turns out they charged me for a second combo. It's been months since we've come here and this experience reminded me why we don't come that often anymore. read more

I really like this place. I have a growing teenager. I am able to get good quality meals for him here at a reasonable price. The food is always good and the staff is friendly. I hope this place will always be here! read more

This is such a great place for all different kinds of food. I especially love the hard shell ground beef tacos which are so good and tasty. They are not shy with how much they fill up the hard shell taco with ground beef, lettuce and cheese. The french fries are good as well and you get plenty. I usually will come on Sunday afternoon to have lunch here. Nice place, staff and food. read more

The place is clean. It's your typical burger joint. The service is great. They are fast and get the order right the first time. The food is delicious. Shared this plate and it was plenty of food for two (or three!). You do have to pay extra for Ranch dressing as that is only free with zucchini orders. Otherwise, a great place to eat. Oh, the burgers are fire!!!! read more

False advertisement, customers please check your receipts before you leave, prices are about $2.00 more at register than what is advertised on menus. Would not give me price adjustment even though it was listed on board BEWARE!! read more

So love this place. I've been going here since late 90's, early 2000. I remember when they had the salad bar in the middle. Always went for their breakfast and lunch specials. This time, I went and ordered a bunch of stuff for work. One guy had chili cheese fries, he said it was ok. Another had a taco plate and she couldn't even eat it all. Another had chicken tenders, not worth it for the price. I got the hamburger combo with fried zucchini. 1000% delicious! read more

Waited 20 minutes in the drive thru(first in line) for a flavorless chorizo burrito! Gross! Don't waste your money!

I've been coming here for more than 10 years, it's great. Pastrami is definitely shareable, and I enjoy the zucchini fries. We usually take it to go, but the few times we've eaten inside it's always clean. read more

This is hometown spot for me. Grew up eating here. I do remember there was a time when it wasn't great and had a horrible rating. But I finally came back tried this spot and hoped it was as amazing before when I was super young. And I'm so happy to see the rating back up and that the quality of the food is back. The zucchini fries are my favorite. So glad they still taste as amazing as I remember. Definitely look forward to trying to more items the next time I'm in the area visiting my parents. It does require a bit of a wait when you order. I would suggest calling ahead if you know already what you're going to order. read more

Terrible service not consistent with dishes. Charge for extra sauce eventhough they give 3xs the amount not to cover 2 dips. They don't allow restroom use unless you're patronizing. read more

My goodness they need to update their drive thru microphone system , when you speak, they can't hear you very well. Then when you order your next idem I can't hear them either. It's not good. Then the person was in a rush when I wanted to make sure I got all the food I ordered. I asked instead of a soda could I pay the difference because I can't drink Soda . I wanted to get an apple juice and pay the difference . The girl said , No. that I could not !! Example ; if the soda was a 1.50 and the juice was 2.00 why couldn't pay the difference because I can't drink the soda, the carbonation makes my stomach upset. I won't be back. read more

Burger patty is down to less than 1/4 inch, how much thinner can they make it?? Not worth the price. Chili fries are why they get 3 stars.

The food was fresh and made to order, service was fast and friendly, with a very casual atmosphere is a good place to grab breakfast or lunch. Definetly be going back to try their burgers. read more

I wanted to update and share again how incredibly tasty the burritos are made here! Picked up an asada burrito and chicken burrito on my way home. To my fellow lactose-intolerant yelpers like myself, it is possible to ask for no cheese! The restaurant sounds like it is a burger joint, but don't let their name deceive you. Their menu has a good portion of Mexican food options. But namely, burritos are my favorite!! There's this goood, addictive heat from the meat that taste great! Pro tip to save you some time: I recommend calling them ahead and phoning in your order. It's too convenient to not to do that. Location is great in between two major freeways. Throughout the year, I've been visiting here during lunches and picking up for dinner! read more

I come to this place quite often I don't wanna bring race into this but I always get weird looks when I go inside. I went this past Friday and ordered chili cheese fries for dine in and no exaggeration it took 20 minutes for me to realize I still haven't got my food so I went to the front to let them know and they turn around and start speaking Spanish didn't tell me anything I had another customer tell me what they said I went and sat back down and about 6 mins later my food comes out they offered me a free drink but that was it the chili cheese fries weren't even worth the wait they weren't busy or nothing just forgot to make my order. I work around the corner and usually get there food every so often I feel uncomfortable to go inside so I go to the drive thru but this was the last straw for me will not be back here at this place read more

Meh food and service. I was charged 30 bucks for 2 bean and cheese burritos. Ladies in the drive thru always mess up in charging me or not the nicest. I work in the neighborhood, wish there were other places for lunch. Make sure to ask for itemized receipt. read more

I do like the food here, we've been coming here for years and of course like any other restaurant the prices have gone up but I thought it was a bit odd for my drink to cost more than a normal drink because I ordered a combination plate which did not include a drink. The combination only was the sandwich and fries. So when I went to go order a drink he said that would cost more than a regular drink because I ordered a special. ‍ So in reality your really not saving any money when you order a combination plate. All in all a good place to eat like I mentioned the food is good and the staff is nice. They place is ok just a fast food type ambiance. read more

They're not lying, it really is express! Ordered through the drive through around 1 PM on a weekday and the time between ordering and pulling up and paying, my food came out ASAP. Interaction took no longer than 3 minutes. Now that is EXPRESS. I got the: 1) 1/4 lb Cheeseburger lunch combo: -This comes with the burger, a side of fries, and a drink. -Their fountain machine must have been slightly amiss since it tasted more like syrup than soda. -The burger itself does hit the spot if you're craving a good burger. The meat was slightly charred and smoky and it comes with a pseudo In-N-Out thousand island style sauce (think like Carl's Jr. California classic burger). -There's pickles, lettuce, and onion as well. -Even though the burger has a wrapper, you better add extra layers of napkins around it or eat it on top of the container. It was leaking out a massive amount of oil and juices, so much so that the buns became soggy in no time unfortunately. 2) Onion Rings: -You can substitute the fries for onion rings or zucchini fries instead for free. -They gave a good amount of onion rings that were alright. -A bit too much batter and not enough onion, but it wasn't bad. I think my main issue was that 1/2 through my meal I noticed what looked like burn holes at the bottom of my to go container...not sure if this was intention (probably not) or if the onion rings were so hot that the oil burned through. Overall an a-ok burger place. read more

Horrible Service! Bought a soda in the drive through and ate in the parking lot, went inside for a refill ( they allow refills, I've ate here a bunch of times and it's self serve) and they stopped me and said it is only free refills for clients dining in? Which makes 0 sense. They didn't allow me to get my refill? Are you really going to fight over a refill? So annoying. Food was also subpar. Burger wasn't good. Bread tasted old. Just badly run establishment. Also had another incident where at 7:44 I was no longer allowed to order when they closed at 8. Pictures below. So stupid. read more

I and my roommate, caretaker, ate here October 27, 2024. I had their Double Bacon Cheeseburger. Wow! Talking about a big Burger, this was the King of them! The hugest burger I have ever had. I almost could not finish it. My caretaker had the hugest chicken quesadilla! He said he could not finish it! The prices are great! And so is the service! So was the atmosphere! Quiet, and nice! read more

Bro? I ordered the most basic breakfast sandwich and a small order of fries...no drink. It cost me just under 20 bucks. For that price I should have gone to a sit down restaurant.

If you didn't know now you do. Chicken salad is the bomb. You get a huge salad with romaine lettuce, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, black olives, corn, tomato and a huge portion of grilled chicken breast. Also a boiled egg. So flavorful! You won't regret this salad. You get a choice of dressing thousand island, ranch, blue cheese or italian. I chose Italian. You get salad dressing on the side ( 2 small containers) If you are watching your figure or just tired of all the fast food and need a break...get this! read more

I've always wanted to try this spot and never got a chance to while I was attending nearby Rio Hondo college. This restaurant can be found off Workman Mill Rd and has indoor seating as well as a drive thru. I was really craving a BLT, and that's my go-to sandwich when I want to get a feel for how good a place is. It was a good meal-no notes! Exactly what I wanted. The exterior looks a bit run down and the drive thru line took awhile with only a couple cars in line. But, hopefully means we are getting freshly made food! If so, I don't mind the wait. I'd go back to try another favorite soon- zucchini fries! read more
