I would be cautious eating here. I had gotten a stomach bacteria, called h.pylori from eating a cheeseburger at Hercules. Still dealing with it to this day. read more

Some of there younger employees are rude. The last time I went there the guy that took my order at the speaker he was very rude and he kept rushing me through my order and he got ended up getting my order wrong. Once I got to the window he was still being rude. Has no manners. This kid looks like he can be in his 20's for sure. The other day my fiancé went and someone took his order at the speaker yet the got the order wrong. This place needs to check there workers to have more respect and appreciation towards the customers because we are the reason you guys are in business. Besides that the food is good for a neighborhood fast food restaurant. read more

Worst place to eat. Can't even get my order right. Skip this place immediately I asked for onions and they act like that was too much burger can't without onions drive back up and they acted like I did something. Needless to say I'm never coming back again read more

My husband and I stopped here for lunch and we couldn't have been more pleased. The young man that took our order was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered a couple of double cheeseburgers with grilled onions with fries and a drink. The food was seasoned, it was not over packed with lettuce and the onions were grilled to perfection. We sat down to eat instead of drive thru and it was clean and tidy. Not overly crowded! I would recommend eating here if your in the neighborhood. read more

Food was overpriced and they don't have cost on display. Lowkey wasn't even good and bad sauce. Bad pastrami 2/10

A little pricey, but the best chili cheese fries you will ever have! They don't use that sweet chili that most Burger stands use. So good!

The same cashier doesnt take the orders correctly! So disappointed when i got home this is the 2nd time same cashier! I ordered a family pack with all cheese and i only got 2 with cheese and the fries are stiff! read more

I got a Pastrami combo ,the service was normal for a drive thru order.The portion would have been except-able if it had been eatable .The fries were hard like they were in the warmer and been done for awhile .On my pastrami the bun was burnt on the inner sides,which made it taste like shit.I actually threw the fries and the pastrami bun in trash.Only eating the pastrami meat.Not worth $20 for a combo. read more

Couldn't decide so I got both fire I will say the burger could have use a lil bit more thousand island on it but other than that perfect will try again when ever I'm in the area read more

Hercules - Couldn't decide so I got both fire!!!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Lynwood, California

I came here to try their famously talked about Chicken Chili-cheese fries. They are not that bad. But not amazing. I do suggest getting some sort of dressing (Thousand Island or Ranch) with this to give it that pop in taste, I know I missed and needed that. Asides this, their menu looked pretty good. Made me second think about getting the chicken chili-cheese fries for a second haha That item is not on the printed menu. I may go back and see how it is with some type of dressing. read more

Good food, they also give you thousand island without an extra charge. I had the classic sandwich and it was fire

I hate this place! Way over priced! I order a chicken dinner, what i got was what O think was a cornish hen drum stick and the other piece looked like well I don't know! Barely had any meat, served with nasty looking spanish rice which my husband asked to be removed and payed extra for fries, and salad that filled more than half the oval plate. Never ever again read more

Just stopped here at 11:53pm was told that they were closed. 1 minute later another car pulled up and she took their order. I've never experienced that. These people are incredibly rude. I even called and she couldn't give me an explanation. F- for customer service towards people that don't look like them. read more

Food is good here majority of the time. They always accommodate you and what you want. There was a gentleman at the front register the last time i was there and his customer service skills lacked very much, and it seemed like he really did not want to be there. Employees need to understand that their attitude and demeanor are picked up quickly by customers and make customers not feel welcomed. read more

On Monday June 12, 2023 at 1, I picked up a crispy chicken salad and unfortunately within an hour started feeling a high fever and nauseous. I immediately went to the hospital to checked out because it was a random flu. Turns out I got food poisoning, this was the only food. Disappointed. read more

This used to be my favorite local burger spot! The quality of food has downgraded significantly. Their fries have been undercooked the last couple of times that I have ordered there and they also taste stale. They have changed the way they make their chicken breast sandwich. They've added a different chicken seasoning. It used to be so tasteful. I have no complaints in regards to their burgers. Please go back to making your food like you used to Hercules! read more

I ordered small DUI it was a very good portion. The carne asada wasn't all that. But pastrami was bomb. read more

This has been my neighborhood burger joint for many years and when growing up this food has been present in my life many times. From the time to when we were kids and had mom and pop takes us for that weekend meal to the days of late night munchies after clubbing and everything else in-between. And so it goes that this place is a familiar attraction for most who grew up around the South Gate, Lynwood, and Watts neighborhoods. This is the typical fast food eatery with rows of generic booths next to the walls and large windows and a stainless steel counter top from which you pay and get your order. You may also find a few arcaded machines you can play while you wait for your order, but you will not wait long. You will find folks of all kinds come and patron this place; skater kids, families, gangstas', local business owners, police officers, and just the regular childhood customer as me. The specialty here is the burgers. Large meat patties in sesame seed buns with shredded lettuce and onion, chunky slice of tomato, cheese optional and their one of a kind special sauce that after years they still keep a secret formula of what I have tried to decode as 3 parts mayonnaise, 1 part Thousand Island with dashes of dry oregano and something else...we will never know but this makes these burgers so delicious and quite apart form the burger as the Tom's, Tam's and Jim's just to give you and idea. Hamburger specials come with a huge portion of seasoned fries of thicker variety so the fries alone are a meal or two in themselves. For drink options you have soda like Sprite, Pepsi and other flavors as well as the Orchata and Orange Bang from a churning fountain Other things on their menu are Chili Fries (Mountain of cheesy greasy deliciousness), Burrito plates, Chicken, Grilled Cheese and Club Sandwiches. I have heard that their pancake breakfast plates are very good too. All items on their monster menu are reasonably priced. If ever you find your self around this part of town, make this a stop to check out. Drive through also available and if you do eat here try and avoid the bathroom. I always do. read more

After hearing about Hercules fast food, I finally got to taste their pastrami chili cheese fries for the very first time. The food was really good, well packed, and they were stingy on the portions. The onion rings were really crispy and tasteful. Which are also portion very well. The service was fast, and the service was also very pleasant. Will definitely be back to try the pastrami sandwich. read more

Hello, everyone I'm at Hercules. My girlfriend took me to eat breakfast. First time for me. Second time for my girlfriend. Well, first started its pack small parking lot. I like that the employees were clean well dress in there uniform. Speedy service ok. Good people skill greetful once we step in. Inside was too small for all the customers coming to eat. Too crowded. Tables are too close to another. The most part it was clean. I order the biscuit and gravy with three over easy eggs with 4 sausage which it comes with the order. My lady order French toast it was good and soft each bite. And she order scramble eggs which were fluffy flavorful and 4 sausage which they were ok could've been better. Overall... its was a good. read more

Wide selection from burgers to Mexican to breakfast 0.o this place gives you a range to choose from. I had a carne Asada burrito my gf had a bean and cheese combo with fries and drink combined with onion rings and a delicious .99 cent shake :3 Went here to try something different but close and like this place my only complaints are that the bathroom is beyond filthy :/ and they have little toy machines and a arcade machine with pac man but it's broken!!! lol minus a star for the two flaws but an amazing spot none the less read more

While I was ordering my food The cooks behind the cashier was being unprofessional and saying rude Spanish remarks in front of me and my daughter. The food is not cooked correctly, I live just around block of Hercules burger place and have been going there for many + years and it's so sad to see their food and customer service is beyond the worst I've ever seen. Save your money,health and time and go somewhere else that they can cook right. read more

Been coming here off and on for years, and even more so since Tams fell off. I always get the Bacon avocado cheeseburger. I love their fries, there perfectly seasoned. Their chili fries are to die for. And their omelettes (any of them) are great for breakfast. The only downside is they can get a little busy on the weekends at night. The drive thru gets packed and the line inside is ridiculous. But other than that, 5/5 read more

This is the most disturbing place to eat. I have no idea how this place is still open. My family had the worst experience today with having mole in our tomatoes to rude customer service. We bought a Family pack and discovered that our tomatoes had mole on them. My aunt had called the restaurant once we noticed and this lady told us "what do you wanna do about it" And we said if we can get new burgers . My aunt asked "do I just take the burgers or the fries too" the lady said "just the burgers so we did" we were expecting to get new fries too and they said "no you can't get new fries , if you wanted fries then you should of brought the fries too" and we said we had asked if we should bring them , if we would have known we would of brought the fries too not just the burgers. The guy said if you want your fries come back tomorrow morning when the manager is here. The lady we had spoke to , her shift was over so they said they couldn't do anything about it because that was the earlier shift. First of all shouldn't there be a manager at all times. This explains why this place is such a shitty restaurant. They don't have a manager on site to be able to help with any customers concerns. They didn't apologize for the inconvenience or didn't try to do anything right. To top this off my little cousin ate some of the mole which really pissed us off. Nobody in the restaurant wanted to provide their name so I took the initiative to take pictures. I DEFINITELY DON'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!! I have no idea why it has 3 1/2 stars, this place shouldn't even be open. This place BETTER resolve this problem ASAP. I'm seconds away from SUING the restaurant. read more

Stopped by this morning for breakfast burrito. Very disappointed! The hashbrown was pretty much raw and then to make matters worse, had some pieces of overdone/old hashbrown mixed in. Not the kind of breakfast I was expecting. Sausage was all in first bite and rest of it was just raw potatoes mixed with egg. Not good! read more

Food was delicious , looked exactly like the pictures I saw and very nice size portions. Price is on point as well.

Bomba, imperial hwy classic for me, the mom and pop taste in the burgers is next level and their thousand islands is a must add to any order can't go wrong with that dressing and some fries! read more

Their lunches aren't the best but I only ever had their lunches - it's over priced. Other than that, this place is quick and has a drive through making it an idea place to grab a greasy spoon before going bar hoping in Long Beach. read more

I come here sometimes when I don't feel like cooking and it's close to home. My son loves their chicken strips. They have decent chicken salads and tacos. Prices are reasonable. I've only gone through the drive-thru and service is fast. Cool place to come if you're in the neighborhood. read more
