    The food was delicious! I had been going there for years. I had stopped going once they changed their name and stopped serving their delicious tacos. I decided to give them a try again and the burger and fries were good. My only complain was that I had ordered the burgers with cheese and they didn't come with it (we realized once we were done eating lol) but the food was so good, it didn't matter. The cashier girl was friendly and wasn't rude when I kept changing my mind which was a plus since I was indecisive. The place was updated from the lady time I had gone which was over 6 years ago. I just really wish they bring back the tacos!!!

    Curly fries, cheese sticks, shrimp, avocado cheeseburger, and salad.... lots of ranch

    Excellent food and service! A few days ago my cousin passed away unexpectedly, Z(owner) invited my aunt and family to eat at Pop's, the food is amazing, even after the dining room was closed, guests still were trying to come in, people ordered at the window and drive-thru. The employees were courteous and kind. Please come support this family owned restaurant. Huge THANK YOU Veronica & Family

    Was in the drive in burger mood! This spot looked the part, so off we drive to Pops on Taft hwy. Not gonna lie, wasn't too impressed on first sight. It was in a pretty ruff looking area. Walked in and dining area was empty so that's usually a bad sign. Looked at the menu and was impressed with all the options. I was sold on the pastrami combo and I upgraded to zucchini sticks and added an ordered of taquitos. My wife got the burger combo and my son the usual chicken strips. We had a little snafu as they forgot wifeys fries. She went to let them know and at first they acted like they didn't believe her- which would've been pretty bad review wise! But luckily someone else over heard and brought my wife her fries. Thank god! First bite on my pastrami was a game changer! So good! Lots of pickles and stuffed with thin sliced pastrami! The zucchini sticks were perfect- crispy and flavorful batter! The taquitos were bomb!! Crispy and a really good avocado salsa. Wife's burger was flavorful and her fries were well seasoned and crispy! This place is in my must visit category! Big tasty portions and very reasonable prices!

    Great food and service! Lots of specials. It does get a bit busy at times. The food is always fresh though.

    Double bacon cheeseburger, single cheeseburger, mushrooms, and chili cheese fries

    I haven't been here for years. The burger was insanely good. The chili fries were awesome. I just loved it here. Mushrooms are good. Root beer float.

    I always ask for "cooked light" fries and they always overcook them. Today they tasted like fish. Done.

    The California Burger - First Time Visit…read more First time trying The California Burger and ordered it for pickup. Right off the bat, the staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the prices are very fair, which already puts it in good standing. I ordered the California Burger, which comes loaded with avocado, onions, pickles, shredded lettuce, onion, 2 little half slices of bacon though, tomato, cheese, and their house sauce. Big plus that the avocado was fresh! and they didn't skimp on it (thank you ), and I really liked the shredded lettuce instead of the usual sad leaf situation. The sauce deserves a shoutout too! it's genuinely tasty and ties everything together nicely. Overall, the flavors were pretty good. Now for the honest part: the patty itself was a bit dry, which is kind of a big deal when it's the main event. That said, the generous amount of sauce definitely helped counteract the dryness. And honestly, when you're starving, there's a moment where you just say "whatever" and keep eating--and I did . It wasn't horrible by any means, just not quite on the level of a couple other burger spots I usually go to. The patties are on the thinner side, but that seems to be the norm at most casual burger joints these days. This feels like an easy fix though, cook the patties a little less and this burger would level up fast! Would I swear off this place forever? No. But if I know there's a better burger option open, that's probably where I'll go first. That said, if it's a Sunday, I'm craving a burger, and all my usual spots are closed... yeah, I'd consider coming back. Maybe. Solid spot, good flavors, and a little tweak away from being even better.

I rave about this place to everyone I know, and encourage my people to stop here if they're taking a road trip to Vegas or LA from the bay. I finally tried the milkshakes this time around. The banana was ok, the pineapple was better. I like that it's not hella artificial. I love that they use real fruit bits. I'm not a huge fan of crinkle cut fries usually, but I like theirs. Why? Because they actually fry the fries to a crisp and then they're well seasoned. Yum. Every time I've come through, the girls working have always been really nice. Customer service is on point. I usually hit the drive thru and then park to eat. It's definitely a good place to people watch.. but I keep my doors locked lol. There's always a lot of movement on the street...

Hands down, it's the best Western barbecue sandwich I've ever had. The flavors are bold and perfectly balanced, the smoky barbecue sauce, melty cheese, and crispy onion rings come together in a way that just works. Every bite is rich, satisfying, and packed with that classic Western-style punch. The seasoned fries deserve their own shoutout too, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. They're the perfect side to an already knockout burger. If you're craving a true Western-style burger that delivers on flavor and quality, Shakes n Buns absolutely nails it. I'd go back for this sandwich alone without hesitation.
