Been coming to Famous Cafe for over 20 years and they still have my absolute favorite chili cheese…read morefries. This casual diner is a local staple. Service is quick and easy, and it's also super convenient that I can call in my order for takeout when I leave the office and pick it up on the way home. The chili cheese fries are packed with hot, crispy french fries, covered with delicious chili, and oozing with melted cheese. The only downside is the price going up compared to 10 or 20 years ago, but that's just the norm with inflation. Whenever I'm breaking my diet, I'll come back to Famous Cafe for my #1 guilty pleasure.

Everything here is solid. Food is well seasoned, portions are generous and the service makes you…read morefeel at home! Plenty of free parking. They do have a drive-thru. They have renovated a few times and the place always smells clean. Prices are still affordable even with inflation.

Went here today after church. Brought a family of 11 with me…read more Ordered at the front counter on what they wanted from the menu. Menu had assorted Mexican food, hamburgers and sandwiches. Received our food within 10 minutes. Service was very fast! Took a bite from my Carne Asada burritos with some Onion rings. All was fresh and tasted good! There is no waitress but the workers behind the counter kept checking on us. Refilling our drinks. Overall, this place has great service and good food. The workers are very nice!! Not to mention that the prices are still reasonably low and affordable especially being in a small recession and high inflation. Place is Clean with plenty of seating and parking!

Love their breakfast burritos here! Its usually pretty busy around lunch time so you may have to…read morewait in a line but so worth it. Theres a big parking lot so no need to worry about that I always order a chorizo or combo meat breakfast burrito here, and it hits every single time. They give you a red and green salsa to go with and its pretty reasonable for the portion size. Not the cleanest spot when they are busy but the service is always top knotch.

I stopped by today to order a couple of breakfast burritos--one chorizo with an over-easy egg for…read moremy husband and a bacon burrito for myself. Unfortunately, my burrito was salty and dry, which was disappointing since I had high expectations after previously enjoying an excellent burger here. Both my husband and I felt indifferent about our meals overall, and neither of us could really taste the hash browns in the burritos. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and the restrooms were clean. However, based on this experience, I'm not sure I would return for breakfast burritos.

Pretty good! Got the pastrami chili cheese fries with raw onions. Place is clean and they have a…read morehuge parking lot. Service was good and friendly.

We order from Burger City's Old Torrance location about 1-2 times a month since it's nearby…read more The location is great--clean, with good service. Their burgers are pretty good, although I feel they were even better in the past. I used to go to their Lomita location (which has since become a different restaurant), and I remember the burgers being served on brioche buns that really stood out in taste. I'm a big fan of fresh-made burgers rather than fast-food style places, and I don't mind paying a bit more for something made fresh. Their menu has great options overall, and the lunch box is a solid value for the price. The homemade onion rings are especially good. The only issue I consistently have with this location is the fries. I've never received crispy fries here. There is now an option to request "crispy / well-done" fries when ordering online, but it doesn't apply to all menu items, and it still doesn't seem consistent. What I usually receive are soft, oily fries that end up tasting more like steamed potatoes, which I personally can't enjoy. I don't think most people would prefer fries served that way over crispy ones, so I really hope they can improve on this part of the menu.

Terribe food. I wished i never stopped here. I ordered the shrimp basket. Tiny popcorn shrimp style…read morewith fries and a drink for $15.. Also ordered the asada mexican plate with cut up steak, rice and bean and cheese and pico salsa. I wouldnt get either plates again. Steak no favor and dry, shrimp soo tiny.

Behold: the perfect hash brown. Last time I came I tried it with a breakfast plate (delicious) and…read morewhen I came back today for a burrito, I had to get an extra hashbrown on the side because they're so amazing. Crispy on the outside, perfectly tender on the inside. Add salt to your liking and don't forget the salsa!! I swear, they need to sell this salsa in stores, it's that good. The lady up front was so sweet and helpful, as always. I am going to miss this place when we move. The sausage burrito was perfect, as always. It's the ratio, they just nail it! Perfect amount of cheese, crispy hashbrown inside, perfect amount of meat and egg. I'm ruined for any other breakfast burrito now because I'll just compare it to Yellow Basket and nobody will ever do it as well.

The regular cheeseburger is basically a McDonald's cheeseburger if McDonald's actually had quality…read moreingredients. Hit the spot. I was really impressed with the meat quality as well as the bread. I usually don't get anything fancy on my burger so I tried the standard cheeseburger. Next time I might snazz it up and get one of the fancier ones.

Only really bad part is the area. One side of the street is…read moreclean and nice but the others are dirty and filled with less than reputable looking characters. The burgers are good though. This is probably why most people came in with online/phone orders for pickup and got the heck out of there in a hurry. Fries are okay at best but the onion rings are fantastic! I don't recommend the smash style burger because it's smaller and doesn't come with the fixings, but if that's your thing than by all means enjoy. I got the backyard bbq burger and it was very tasty. Not the best I've ever had but it definitely hits the spot and prices are not bad at all here. If I happen to be in the area again I would definitely be down to phone in my order and pickup for takeout to enjoy the tastiness somewhere I feel a little more comfortable. Staff was also very friendly - when they could be seen at least, but it was one cashier/server with two guys in the kitchen and although it's a small hole in the wall place there is still plenty to do if you're understaffed so I'm not even mad about it. Thanks ya'll!
