This location in the Signal Hill area wasn't too crowded this time, well I mean it had lines still but wasn't totally out the door. We went in to dine. The inside was nice and clean and looked just like all the rest of the In N Outs. I already know what my crew wants, so I do the ordering since I'm the one paying. For me I get my Double Double Animal style with extra grilled onions, order of fries and a drink. I guess they have that on the menu at a #1. The one other girl on the crew want her Double Double Protein style, meaning it's a lettuce wrap with no bun. But then she want fries animal style ... so much for cutting the carbs! The rest of the guys get what I have. The food is up in not too much time and I go up from our table and get it from the counter. It all looks yummy as hell like always. Every body grabs their food off the trays and munches in. This food should hold us for awhile till we get outta LA and over the Grapevine. WE might have to stop somewhere north up the 5.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

We stopped by here because it was late and they were still open. Another reason I wanted to try it…read morewas because they served poutine, and I'm always on the lookout for places that offer it. It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Dreams really do come true! And whatever you do, don't skip the elote. It's so fragrant and tasty. Then save room for dessert because the warm brownie banana bread, fresh from the oven, is the perfect finale. What really makes this place special isn't just the food - it's the vibe. It feels less like a restaurant and more like a neighborhood backyard party where everyone knows each other. The owner greets regulars by name, welcomes first-timers like old friends, and before you know it, you're chatting with the table next to you while burgers sizzle on the grill. Some places serve great burgers. This place serves great burgers AND makes you feel like you belong.

Founded in 1971 in Compton, CA by a Greek immigrant family, Tam's Burgers has been a SoCal…read moreinstitution. They are famous for their pastrami sandwiches, so my wife, our neighbor friend, and I took the short drive to this one location in Long Beach. The pastrami was really good. We've passed by this location many, many times, and I mistakenly grouped it with the many other male name hamburger walk-ups in Long Beach, but owned by Vietnamese (the name 'Tam' was supposedly just made up, to represent an easy-to-remember name for the restaurant). So we planned a Friday lunch date (bit before noon). There was a long drive-thru line which blocked parking spots, but my wife patiently found a good spot for easier exiting. It's a typical fast food set-up, with ordering and paying (CC accepted) done first, with the food being picked up once your name is called. It was busy, with most people getting pick-up or drive-thru, thus took a little bit of time for our food to be prepared, but was nicely served fresh and hot (which makes a huge difference for greasy food like this). Pastrami Sandwich Special ($19.99) - the thinly sliced beef was stacked high, on a non-descript hoagie roll, with a few pickle slices and cheese to dress (so the flavor of the meat was important here, and I really liked it). They must go through a lot of these, since the pre-sliced meat was still juicy, not having sit around being kept warm. The combo came with really good thick cut fries and a soda (Coke products, assuming no refills). We ended up splitting the sandwich, and half of it would have been enough to fill me up. I understand now why this version of pastrami would be a good choice for a burrito or to top fries. Patty Melt ($5.79) - this was OK, a good way to cheaply satisfy hunger pangs. It had been griddled well, to give the hearty bread a satisfying crunch...but it was really oily (mainly from the oil used to grill). Fried Chicken Sandwich ($11.99) - my wife like this, with it using the same soft bread as the pastrami, but this dressed with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. They use pounded breaded chicken patties, definitely the way it was made in the 80's before Chick-fil-e became the norm. There is a web site for Tam's Burgers, but it is for the restaurant chain located in the Inland Empire (split off from this original branch in 1992). There is no web site for the original Tam's locations in LA County (which means any search on the web for official pages, only brings back the IE ones), but watchers of the 2022 Super Bowl would have noticed a two story replica of their 21st store at the half time show. Each store is semi-autonomous, with this being the only location in Long Beach, named #44.

I used to be a fan of this place. Until today when I found a long string of hair in my food, also…read moresomething that was hard in my hamburger when I was chewing. I called the place and asked to speak to a manager. The girl who answered the phone asked what was the issue. I then said to her are you the manager. She said yes. So I explained the hair in my food issue. I told her it was a long black curly hair. She asked me what did I order. I told her it was the hamburger special. She then said that the hair was not hers. So I explained to her that I did not say it was hers. That I simply wanted them to please be careful, because this is a sanitary issue. I did not tell her about me biting down and there was something hard in the hamburger and I had to spit out the bite because I didn't know what it was. It could have been anything. I now have more issue. I am not satisfied how she handled the entire situation. The lack of concern. Her telling me the hair was not hers. Her offering me to bring it back. But the issue is I drove from work to get it. And I'm not about to bring it back. That is an inconvenience. Also I did not like the fact that when I asked to speak to a manager, she said what is the problem. Then I had to ask her are you the manager, then she said yes. I asked for her name and she mumbled something. But my real issue is now the overall experience. The lack of concern and the way she handled my complaint. Now you might be thinking I'm just a critic. But that is not true. I have changed my opinion about this place due to my findings. Also it is such an inconvenience to leave my job, drive back down there. When I don't like how they handled the situation in the first place. But if you want to continue to eat there. That is your business, but I'm not a happy camper with my experience.

This isn't my first Cane's rodeo. I used to hit up the Costa Mesa location a lot back when the…read morechain was first expanding in California. The core experience here is similar, but this location does a great job leaning into local Long Beach culture, something other reviewers said too. Cane's seems genuinely involved with local high schools, and the walls are lined with alumni photos and neighborhood history. Much appreciated. Service is fast, genuinely faster than In-N-Out, which is saying something for a California chain. The value is strong too, $10-15 usually gets you a solid amount of food. The standout is the Texas toast which is buttery, nicely crisped, and honestly kind of unique for a California fast food spot. The chicken itself is fine, nothing special, but it doesn't need to be great because the real star is the Cane's sauce. A smoky, tangy mayo-based dip that's genuinely distinctive. There's a reason you can find it bottled in grocery stores now. Fries are just okay, but again, everything's better with the sauce. A few downsides: the drive-through moves surprisingly slow for how popular it is (never seen it move fast, even on slow days). The interior can also feel overstimulating. The disco ball is charming but the lights are a bit much, and it gets loud. That's especially true late at night, since they're open until almost 4 AM and it draws a big crowd of post-club twenty-somethings and students from CSULB and Long Beach City College. If you can look past the slower drive-through and the sensory overload inside, it's a great spot for a late-night bite.

However, this place doesn't do NY sandwiches justice. I got the chopped cheese and the philly cheese steak, both of which came with the same overcooked, overseasoned ground beef. I'm talking about this ground beef was gritty, crumbly, and just really unenjoyable. These were both served on rolls that were slightly stale and chewy, begging for a light toast to bring them back to life. Without enough cheese or sauce, these sandwiches were also dry.  I am so sorry to have to say all this, as I was personally excited by visiting this spot. I hope I went on an off day and that people have experienced higher quality meat and ingredients, but that just wasn't the case for me and I will not be back.

Price wise both are $2 a wing normally so GeeKo lost on the special Wednesday price. 2. Size of the wings, GeeKo won hands down here although more batter on them makes them seem bigger than they are. Both sets of wings were meaty. 3. Portions, Rally's does a 5 and 10 piece, GeeKo does 8 minimum so if you aren't sharing or hungry enough Rally may be a better choice. 4. Flavor of their BBQ sauces were similar Rally more smoky and GeeKo more tangy. 5. Both were cooked perfectly 6. If you like your wings extra saucy then GeeKo is your go to, I prefer dry rubs and lighter sauce levels so for me Rally won that race. All in all a surprisingly close race, Rally wins for me on price, portion and sauce level! I figured no way Rallys wings would even compare to GeeKo.
