    Pretty nice neighborhood burger joint! Ordered a single patty burger ($9) And a classic hot dog ($7) I thought the burger was really decent. Nice meaty patty and a soft bun. It was a little diabolical that the cheese was on the bottom, but that's okay! I feel like they are missing a special house 1000 island sauce for the burger or more seasoning. I really enjoyed the hot dog! I asked for pickles to be added on the dog and he was really good! Overall, great place to try!

Service was good, ambiance was clean, and our food was delicious, at least in my option. I am a big fan of in n out and my expectation was low..... sorry not sorry. Next we need to come back for some hot dogs. Lastly happy International Burger Day Thank you and see ya maybe next week!!!! :)

    Double Burger + Fries
    Edgar H.

    Where has Nilly's been all my life. What a great place to visit and enjoy some quality burgers, fries, service, and drinks. I went and got fries, double burger w/ everything, and a vanilla milkshake which came out to about $25. The quality spoke for itself. The burger patty is freshly made and you can see it from the open kitchen they got going on. I have to highlight their pickles which have a great crunch and taste to em' (Nilly's is doing it right) Another highlight was the milkshake! Truly delicious and freshly made from Thrifty's ice cream! It was soft serve blended up goodness. A perfect way to balance the fries which are seasoned in their own spices. Overall great experience for my first time there

    Single & double burger with fries

    I got the single patty burger with pickles inside with a side of crinkle cut fries - it was amazing! The patty was super juicy and the fresh pickles cut the saltiness out. The fries were really crispy and salty just the way I like them

    Large Chili Cheese Fries
    Yvette S.

    If you want to splurge on a burger, Nilly's is it. It's quite pricey but the quality is excellent. I think they recently expanded their space because it was much smaller before. There are plenty of tables and seating. Their standard single and double burgers come with cheese, onions, scratch pickles, and yellow mustard on a potato roll. I don't like these pickles so I have them removed. The burgers are small but if you order with fries, they're very filling. Their chili cheese fries are insane! I do wish their drinks were a little cooler. They have some bottled and canned drink options, but they weren't very cold so we had to ask for a cup of ice.

    Tasty Double Burger and strawberry lemonade

    A great local spot for solid burgers and good service. I've been here many times over the years. The dining area is spacious and bright--a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy some tasty grub. The menu hasn't changed all that much since they opened--made-to-order burgers, hot dogs, shakes, and loaded fries, plus some specialty items. The burger patty is made with a special blend of ground beef prepared daily, so you know it's fresh. You can taste the quality in every ingredient. My usual is a single cheeseburger with crinkle-cut fries and a drink. I've also got the double cheeseburger, which is filling. The beef patty is seasoned well and cooked perfectly. It's not overly smashed and still has a good, beefy mouthfeel, with a bit of char on the edges. The popular house-made pickles are not really my jam, so I leave them out. They have a sweeter taste than regular pickles. Just not for me. I recently tried the Chili Hot Dog and enjoyed that as well. The hot dog is Vienna beef with natural casing for that pleasant snap. The chili (without beans) is flavorful and goes well with fries and burgers, too. There are plenty of cold bottled and canned drinks, as well as complimentary water you can pour yourself. The prices have generally increased over the years, which is understandable, but the quality and service are worth it. I can't wait to return.

    One of the best burger shops in this area. Solid prices and quality. I love coming here! Customer service is also great.

    Dropped in today since it's been bookmarked for me to visit, I was in the area so why not. Service was great, thankfully I didn't get a crazy crowd to order food so it was also quick. We ordered a double and a side of fries. The burger is good, pickles delicious. This is one of those spots you only see tucked in dtla where all the cool kids live so it was nice to have this in our area. Prices. $9 single $12 for double, I get it food cost are high. The burger is worth the hype. The crinkle cut fries? $5 too pricey in my humble opinion. All in all it's good and I definitely will be back to try the pastrami fries

    Pastrami fries, breakfast sandwich, chili cheese hot fog, and a regular hot dog
    Ashley S.

    What delicious food! I loved the pickles and onions on the pastrami fries, the pastrami itself was soooo good. Highly recommend. The chili cheese easily soaks through the hot dog bun and makes it a bit messy so I prefer the regular hot dog. Loved all the toppings. The sausage itself is perfect. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. Good amount of seating in a bright dinning space. Plenty of parking as well. The staff is all focused and very helpful. Thanks Nilly's!!

    Single cheeseburger and pastrami single cheeseburger with fries
    Lia B.

    Yelp brought us in for a fantastic lunch. Ordered two fries with Ranch, a single cheese burger, a single with pastrami, and a single with chili. Restaurant is tucked in a shopping center and was spotless with plenty of seating. The meat of the burgers was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The potato buns were soft and fresh. Pickles were bread&butter instead of dill. Highly recommend the fries and the house ranch.

    longanisa breakfast sandwich
    Flora A.

    Found this place through TikTok and came by after church on a Sunday afternoon with a group of four. We were all pleasantly surprised by how big the restaurant actually is -- there's plenty of seating, so it didn't feel cramped even though it was pretty busy. Since it was the weekend, my boyfriend and I went straight for the longanisa breakfast sandwich. I love me some longanisa and this one did not disappoint. The longanisa patty was juicy, the hashbrown added the perfect crispy crunch, and everything came together so well on the pandesal. We also split a large chili cheese fries, which were great, and I loved that they came with pickles on the side. My friends ordered the single burger and said the patty was super juicy and delicious as well. Despite how busy it was for a Sunday afternoon, the service was solid and the food came out reasonably fast -- we didn't feel like we were waiting long at all. Overall, such a solid spot. I'd definitely come back, especially on a weekend so I can get that longanisa sandwich again.

    Inside/kitchen see them cook the burgers!

    Casual ambiance, clean restaurant. Smash burger joint . Filling chili cheese crinkle cut fries with onions/sour cream, pickles. Good burger , hip energy & good customer service. Many people visit for the coconut ube shake. It was sold out , didn't get to try it. Maybe next time !

    Delish!

    Ask the Community - Nilly's Burgers

    If I order the impossible cheeseless will it be vegan friendly?

    Do their chili cheese fries have beans in the chili?

    No beans in the chili.

    Is the chili gluten free and bean free?

    Does the potato bun contains egg, milk or dairy?

    Martin potato rolls contain non-fat milk and real butter

    Will they serve it with raw onions if you want?

    They're super flexible and I'd guess they'd be happy to use raw onions if you wish. They do season/marinate the onions, which make them turn out even better when sauteed!

    Do you have lettuce and tomatoes for your burgers?

    There are none. But thats what makes the burger pure and focused on the meat and cheese quality. The grilled onions bliss the burger.

    What are the hours ? So excited to try!

    SUN 12:00 pm -- 6:00 pm MON CLOSED TUE 11:00 am -- 8:00 pm…

The Korean corn dogs are the real star here. Crispy on the outside with that signature crunchy coating, and soft, cheesy goodness on the inside--every bite is insanely satisfying. Whether you go for the classic sausage, the half mozzarella combo, or one of the loaded options rolled in toppings like potatoes or crunchy crumbs, you really can't go wrong. The texture alone is next level. What makes these Korean-style hotdogs stand out is the variety and creativity. They're not just your average corn dogs--they're coated in panko or unique toppings and often filled with gooey cheese, which gives them that iconic stretch and flavor people love . The sauces take everything up another notch. Sweet, spicy, tangy--mix and match to your taste and you've got a flavor combo that hits every time. Pair it with a side like tteokbokki or fries, and it turns into the perfect comfort meal. Overall, this spot nails it with flavor, texture, and creativity. If you've never had a Korean corn dog before, this is the place to try it--and if you have, you already know why it's worth coming back again and again. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Hot Dog on a Stick instantly caught my eye after all these years. The classic made-to-order corndogs and the hand-stomped lemonade are hard to resist. I ordered the 2-for-$7.99 corndog deal and a cherry lemonade. I picked one beef and one original turkey corndog. The first bite brought back memories. The cornmeal coating was fried perfectly and hot with a slight crisp. My favorite was the beef corndog, but the turkey is enjoyable as well. The lemonade has a variety to choose from. The cherry lemonade was refreshing and sweet. I noticed the seasonal, limited-time flavor was Dragonfruit, which I hope to try soon. The staff was kind and provided quick service. It wasn't too busy during lunch, so my order was ready within five minutes. The food court dining area is clean and spacious, with plenty of tables and seating.

As…read moretheir food is decent and they offer a lot from Chicken, burgers, sandwiches and even Filipino Spaghetti, their style and flavor profile is not my preference. So why did we go there today? Jollibee is now open at 7:00 am serving breakfast items and possibly the full menu, because they have chicken breakfast plates, langonisa (Filipino sausage) breakfast plates as well as breakfast sandwiches. The choices are regular sausage patty with scrambled egg, cheese on a pan de Sal bread. Also there is bacon, langonisa and spicy langonisa. We had to try it just out of curiosity. The sandwiches are pretty simple. My honest take is the langonisa is great and flavorful, the pandesal is soft, but the egg tasting like it's either frozen or the scrambled egg in a carton just doesn't taste like real egg. If they cooked an actual fried egg or scrambled eggs straight from the shell, it might have tasted better. The other issue is I'm not sure the $4.99 price tag on the sandwich alone is worth it. It was definitely worth going and trying it, otherwise I would have no personal opinion. The service at 8:20 am is definitely a perfect time as service was quick to placing your order, had to wait a little for the hash brown to get cooked and if you want to dine in, there are plenty of seats and tables available.

I've also done the drive-thru here before, and it was really slow. When I tried asking questions about the menu, nobody seemed to know the answers. This time I went inside. They have two kiosks, but there were people taking forever on both of them and nobody was really helping at the register. The signage makes it seem like you use the kiosk for card and the register for cash, but apparently you can pay with a card at the register too. Then I couldn't find the sour cream and onion cheddar fries on the kiosk even though they were being advertised. I finally asked and found out they hadn't had them for about a week. The customer service was probably the most frustrating part. At one point the employee I was trying to order with just walked away, and someone who seemed like a manager had to tell her to come back and help me. The whole ordering process just felt unnecessarily difficult. Between the parking, the slow drive-thru experiences, the confusing ordering setup, advertised items not being available and the customer service, I wouldn't come back to this particular location. There are other Jollibee locations I'd rather go to.

It was simple back then because they did not served sushi or any tempura stuff. It was strictly teriyaki chicken or beef on the grill with steamed rice and a little vegetables added on to make it sound like a healthy choice. I think she sold the business more than 10 years ago. I don't speculate what happened. After all, she was much older when I was a tiny lad. Anyways, things change dramatically as new ownerships took over. I don't know how many times it changed hand, but I could tell how many times they had changed their menu and selections. As the first reviewer pointed out in her review, they have added a few sushi rolls and a few tempura items on the menu list. They also got bold by adding certain types of Japanese noodle bowl and cutlet items along with shrimp items. The teriyaki chicken and beef are still there after all these years. My rules of thumb has always been that if you are offering too many choices, make sure you are good at all of them or you're just throwing too many things out there. My impressions of coming here over the years and many times in the past year had always garnered the thoughts of inconsistency. There would be times where the veggies would be soggy or the chicken was too tough to eat. It's always one thing or another that did not get accomplished. It's still better than Yoshinoya or some other Teriyaki grill places.

They are still located near the food court and I came here because T-Mobile had their T-Mobile Tuesday offer of a free original pretzel. I know it's free but this offer was so hard to redeem. First, trying to order from the app was so difficult. It would not let me complete my order so that all I have to do is pick it up, so I was forced to go in and fall in the long line that I anticipated. When I got to the register I inquired if the cinnamon sugar was eligible he said no, only the original. I was ok with that. I asked if I can get one with no salt because I have to cut back on my sodium intake. The guy said, no it's only good on the salted one because that's all we have. He was definitely not accommodating nor friendly about it. It was like it's free, get what you get. The other issue I had with the employee is he was handing me the one pretzel in the paper pretzel wrapper and I asked for a bag, again I got the feeling of I was asking for too much and then, he hands me the bag and makes me have to place it in the bag myself. He should have initially placed it in a paper bag. I will not return here nor redeem even another free offer in the future. There is a competitor in the mall, that I have had much better experience with. I am now not surprised that Yelp has this place as permanently closed.
