DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER with fries, lemonade and ice tea, Diet Coke, strawberry shake

Esther JC S.

Heard so much about this place! And we always see it, as we are driving by. I came here for the 1st time, last year, with my friend who lives nearby. Yummy! And affordable. I came back another time, I think, with my son. And then, last week, with my husband. Not sure if it was my taste buds but this time, the burger was kind of too salty. The strawberry shake was yummy. The fries were good too. Maybe I'll give it another go, next time. Parking is a little tough, sometimes, but Cute spot though! Gotta try it at least once, guys!

The Win-Dow Burgers My coworker Kat told me I needed to try Win-Dow because, in her words, they have the best smash burgers. After an appointment a couple miles away, I made the drive over, and I am glad I listened to Kat. First of all, parking gets a star by itself. The lot is not that big, but with the amount of people coming in and out, it worked surprisingly well. I got a spot right away and it seemed like everybody else was able to do the same. No long wait, no circling around, no hassle. Then I got in line to order. The setup is cool. It is like they open up the garage doors and serve you from there, which I guess is why it is called Win-Dow. Whatever the reason, it works. The staff were courteous, efficient, and made the process easy. Now to the food. My burger was smashed the right way but still juicy, which is exactly what you want. The meat tasted high quality, the cheese was good, the bun held everything together, and the whole burger just came together really well. The fries were crispy exactly the way I like them. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts and asked for them crisp with the house dressing instead of ranch. That was a great call. They forgot them at first, but when I went back in they apologized and brought them out right away. No attitude, no problem, just fixed it and kept it moving. For dessert, I was originally going to get the dipped mint ice cream, but the guy in front of me ordered the salted caramel and said it was really good, so I followed his lead. Great decision. That salted caramel was top tier. From parking to burger to dessert, Win-Dow delivered across the board. One thing to know is that there is no indoor seating, so you will be sitting outside. But there are restrooms in the back, and it seemed very family friendly. I saw a lot of people there with kids and families, and everybody looked like they were having a good time. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Even while I was there, I was already looking at the menu thinking about what I want to order next time later in the week. Kat was right. Win-Dow is an easy 5 stars all day.

Another review from now several months ago that I wrote a draft for last fall, then never finished it... it's like in-an-out, but craftier. On one hand, $8 sounds like a good amount of money for a fast food (double) cheeseburger - on the other hand, Sideburns makes my favorite smash burger in the city, but their basic smashburger is $11, and that's not even a double burger. Anyway, one double cheese burger was quite satisfying, it was more filling than it looked at first. It's exactly what was advertised - In-N-Out, but craftier. Great buns, great meat, a classic cheeseburger... a bit salty though (it really needed ketchup to offset the saltiness... so I asked for ketchup and got some and added it, which improves it greatly :p. As with In-N-Out, I didn't buy the fries and thus couldn't comment on them. Mostly because the burger was quite enough food, though, in this case.) Being more of a quick stop place, obviously there isn't any alcohol, but in addition to $6 shakes (assuming they haven't gone up since a few months ago - I didn't get one, but assume they're also great), they had lemonade/arnold palmers for $2.50 - actual lemonade, not from a mix. I did get an arnold palmer, and it was, expectedly, great. A lot of the seating is outside around the side of the building on a bar-top-type setup - I though that was pretty neat, though, it's a nice area, as long as it's a reasonable temperature, which it is more often than not. That's why we all like living in California. Was especially nice right around sunset. p.s. Unlike In-N-Out as far as I know - you can order ahead if you know when you're going to get there, right from them, and then only have a small wait to pick it up, which is pretty nice too.

Super classic burgers and fries, but without any of the stomach aches from the grease or heaviness. I loooove their shoestring fries, and their lemonade is so yummy and tart. I am not used to very simple smash burgers, but I didn't mind mine at all! I definitely would have wanted double the patty though because a regular burger and fries weren't enough for me lol. But I did pay for what I asked for, and I appreciate that their prices are pretty accessible. This feels more like a lunch than a dinner spot. Especially since this is more of an open air kinda joint. Would still come again!

A five year-old decided this is where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner, so here we are. I had not been to one of these locations, but I do appreciate the reasonably priced burgers! This is a simple window order and pick up place with limited seating. Kind of a throwback to a burger spot of yesterday year... I got the chicken sandwich which was very tasty and everybody else said their burgers were wonderful. Great place to come for a quick burger if you're in the area. Also, quite a few other locations, I'll have to try the one right next to me in Hollywood!

Karen D.

The smells lead you here! Solid burgers that rival in-n-out. The quality is noticeably. We tried the crispy Brussel sprouts and they were delicious. I still need to try the soft serve. Service is always great. It's a great addition to 2nd street

Isaac Z.

Cute little place to go grab a burger! Buns were nice and soft, house sauce paired well with the onions and pickles. Fries were ordinary, nothing special. Kale salad was a popular pick, and drinks are solid, especially for $2.50. Parking is limited, vibes are not

Channy I.

Such a vibey spot! Highly recommend coming here on a nice day! We chose a perfect day to come. Everything is open and bright, it's quite relaxing. We of course ordered their burgers and let me tell ya, we devoured them! I had a single and my friends both got doubles. They're decently sized and bursting with flavors. They do have seating but, it fills up quick! I enjoyed people watching whilst eating my burger. A friend of mine highly recommended their kale salad, but I don't see the hype. Overall, a good salad but I'm not going there for that.

David K.

There are tons smash burger spots in Long Beach but this one really nails it! The burger is perfectly cooked with nice charring throughout and balanced perfectly with sweet/crunchy pickles layered underneath their special sauce. The fries have a nice crisp as well and are lightly tossed in salt. Super friendly staff and rather quick service! They have a ton of seating under their covered patio as well. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area or passing through 2nd Street.

Two double cheeseburgers and two veggie burgers

Mark F.

Been wanting to try this place for awhile. Love a good smash burger and this place does it right. Pretty simple menu with a few additions like chicken sandwiches and salads. We got 2 double cheeseburgers and two beauty (aka impossible) burgers, the kale salad, and fries. The smash burgers were delicious. The bun is soft but has enough support not to fall apart while eating it. The patties are smashed to perfection. Maintining juiciness while providing textural contrast with the crispy edges. The sauce is similar to a thousand island dressing and the pickles and onions also add a nice crunch. The fries are pretty ordinary which makes this not the best I've had. The kale salad is really good but if you don't like raisins then you won't like it. But the tanginess of the dressing along with the nuts and cheese is really a nice bright contrast to the heavier flavors of the burger. The location isn't too busy because it's at the end of second street which was nice because usually it's impossible to find parking. Service is okay, the vibe is cute. Worth going if you like smash burgers.

Cute Burger stand in Long Beach. This isn't a indoor sit down stand. You order and pick up order from a window. There's a few seats available outside of the stand. Restroom located in the back of resturant, expect a line cause it only one restroom. The service was good. The menu is basic with a few items, there are a few healthy options. The food was good however I wish they seasoned the burgers more, they were kind of bland for my taste, you will need ketchup and other condiments for flavor. The bread they use is bomb.

Sandy H.

Since my initial visit a couple years ago, prices have increased slightly and they've added more seating along the side of the building. A small parking lot is available next to it but I usually find street parking. There's a window to order and another window to pick up your food. The cheeseburger was salty the first time I had it but less salty now in my opinion. The French fries are crispy and good. The Brussels sprouts with a side of their house sauce was decent. I've tried their strawberry shake and it was the perfect cold treat.

This is now my second review I LOVE THIS PLACE !!!!! A double cheese burger for 7.50 like come on can't beat that and it's so fresh and flavorful I mean seriously on top of that! We try the chicken sandwich and holy shit. It was so good. It was honestly refreshing even though it was fried and it had like a vinegar flavor to it just really was a nice touch paired with the burger.

great spot to get a solid smash burger, fries, and a dipped ice cream cone without breaking the bank!! We went to the Long Beach location, but the more popular ones are in LA. There's a spacious parking lot. Depending on the time of the day, there can be a long line. You order at the "window" and take the food to go or eat at some of the seating available there. Vibes and aesthetic were on point, I'd recommend coming to check it out at least once! read more

Came here today with my daughter and her friend. The burgers were small but good, fries were oily!! The actual restaurant needs to take some pride in their establishment, there was trash everywhere, the counters where you eat were dirty... gross!! and I know they don't have much control of homeless people but when we walked up there was a homeless guy tweaking out in front of the restaurant and while we eating another homeless man came went through the trash and started pulling it all out and was eating it. It was definitely disturbing. The overall cleanliness of this place was enough to turn me off and I definitely will not be going back.

Great burger spot in Belmont! Super cute colors with a great ambiance! I arrived on a Thursday as they were opening around 11am. There's a designated parking lot just for Win-Dow customers. My first impression is that the line took a little bit longer than expected. The guy was having microphone and tablet issues. Some people were getting frustrated but whatever, it happens. I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a strawberry milkshake. The burger was a little smaller than expected but the flavors were great! Double patty with cheese and chopped grilled onions. The fries were good, nothing amazing about it. The strawberry milkshake blew my mind! It was so fresh and had a very strong strawberry flavor that wasn't artificial. They top the milkshake with whipped cream and freeze-dried strawberries. By far my favorite strawberry milkshake! Overall. I had a great experience with the staff and food. Would definitely come back. read more

The food tasted great, and the service was really friendly. I had a double cheeseburger and fries and the Kale salad. The burger was great, but an IN and OUT got them. Fries was OK The salad was outstanding. A real must-have. There is always a line, but you can call ahead or order online to pick up at the side window. Recap - The double cheeseburger is the way to go. But if there is a line or if parking is bad, get the number 2 from In and Out and call it. The fries were just OK to me. It's not bad, but it's just fries. The salad will have me waiting in line and finding parking. I ate some that night and had the rest for lunch the next day. So good. The service was really dope.

Food: Burger, chicken Sando and fries were decent. Ordered everything, but the impossible burger and ice cream. I would skip the 8 grain bowl. It was not great, super peppery, and they over did it with the lime in the guacamole/avocado. For the price point and how much food you get, I don't think it is worth it especially with the slow service. Service: came here 15 mins after they opened and there were only 3 people in line before myself. It took almost 30 mins for me to get my food and I was annoyed that people who came after us, got their food first. Overall, due to the slow service and portions, but mainly the service I wouldn't waste my time coming back and would rather go to smash burger. read more

I order from this place frequently. I love the cheeseburgers which don't feel too heavy. Their fries are great and the chicken sandwich is extremely flavorful, tender and delicious! I always order the kale salad and love the dressing. On my most recent order, my salad was filled with raisins or some type of small dried fruit, which made the salad very fruity. I found this odd, since it's not in the description and has never been in my kale salad before. Aside from the unwanted raisins in my salad, this place is great and has very fast service as well. read more

I've had plenty of LA's great burgers (in this case LA a based restaurant in LB), and The Window definitely stacks up. I was actually surprised at how good it was and how all the ingredients on the double cheeseburger fit together perfectly in the bun. The burger style has crispy edges like a smash but the patty is a little bit thicker, which I like. Love how the grilled onions, sauce, cheese, and pickles all combine together in a soft pillowy bun. Great burger at a good price. I'm actually pretty hyped on this place and definitely plan on going back! read more

Burgers, fries, and everything nice! The Win-Dow is a welcome addition to the 2nd street neighborhood. Their small menu ensures that what they do offer is quality. Plus, at $4-7 per menu item, everything is highly affordable. We tried the double cheeseburger and it was easily 5/5. The patties were tender and had a delicious char to each bite. It was seasoned and grilled to perfection. The fries were nice and crispy, but not mind-blowing... 4/5. The strawberry shake was also very good, but a rather small size for the price... 4/5. Overall, the Win-Dow offers fantastic burgers for the price and taste. read more

Hi do you guys have grass fed beef?

Hi Cherida, The beef used in our patties does not come from grass-fed cows, but we do use a high-quality proprietary blend created specifically for our burgers. Hope that helps!

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.

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!

Their entire identity is built around metal imagery, references, album-inspired burgers, and the culture created by touring metal bands around the world. That aesthetic and influence is a huge part of what draws people in, yet there's seemingly no appreciation extended toward the musicians who helped build that culture in the first place. The food is solid, but if you're going to base your business around metal and profit from the branding and influence of those bands, it would be nice to see some level of support or acknowledgment given back to the artists themselves.

The people here come from all walks of life, enjoying a big plate of something. The workers here are all wonderful and treat you like you came home for a meal cooked by a people who care about you. If you're here for breakfast, get the steak and eggs and a strong cup of drip coffee to go with it. Lunch and dinner, get a burger or a dinner plate. Nothing can go wrong.

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk.

I am here to review The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie, that's how late my Yelp reviews are coming…read morein. Sorry!! TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience. I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.

Their online menu does not indicate the sides available. It was at this time, 9 minutes later hung up. I tried to call back and the line was obviously busy. I placed my order online for burgers and fries and drove to pick my order up. It's not what I wanted but I knew what I was getting. When I arrived at the restaurant i asked her name. She said, Kate.

I had bit into the burger before realizing the cheese was cold and not melted or soft. I'm going to give Poly Burgers a rest. Today's experience was frustrating.

We recently visited Secret Island Tiki which has been on our list for a while. It is located on the…read morecorner of Broadway and Pine under Shannon's. We parked in the multi-story parking garage behind Hamburger Mary's. Secret Island is a little over a block away. You can make reservations on OpenTable. It has a bit of a speakeasy entrance, as it is not plainly marked. Look for the staircase going down with greenery around it and the Secret Island sign downstairs. Go right at the bottom of the stairs and there is a little walkway where you see a very cool tiki display. It you stay there long enough, the lights will flash and you will hear thunder. Walk a little further and go through the door to enter. I was blown away by the atmosphere and build. Kudos to Bamboo Ben! It is dimly lit with a ton of cave wall, bamboo, thatch, netting, tiki lights, floats, skulls, tikis, and other décor. The bar is loaded with bottles and looks great with dark blue and green backlighting. The bar top is wood with deep cutouts that are filled with clear epoxy. The booths in the main dining area are little tiki huts and even have clouds overhead. There was great tiki music playing the whole time. A few times an hour a thunderstorm hits. The lights dim, lightning flashes with thunder sound effects, and red lights illuminate cracks in the floor that looks like lava veins. There is also a photo-op "Pele's Throne" which is a big lava rock surrounded chair. We sat at the bar and had the coconut shrimp appetizer ($12). The shrimp were breaded and cooked well, and had a coconut sprinkle on top. The spicy dipping sauce complemented the shrimp well. I started out with the Drunken Monkey (Makers Mark 46, Jamaican rum, banana liqueur, cinnamon, allspice, Angostura bitters, normally $19, $17 during happy hour). It was somewhat bourbon forward with a little funk from the Jamaican rum. I definitely got the cinnamon notes with a little banana and allspice in the background. She started out with the El Capitan Hook (Del Maguey mezcal, pineapple, banana liqueur, Luxardo cherry liqueur, lime, $17, $15 during happy hour). This was smoke forward with light pineapple and banana flavor. I had the Hula burger ($18) which was very good with a lot of different flavors from the various toppings. It came with a decent amount of fries, and was a filling plate. She had the pineapple bowl fried rice and added with BBQ pork ($17 + $5 for pork add-on). It is served in half of a scooped out pineapple and had a good amount of rice with pork and green onions on top. It had a good mix of teriyaki sauce on the rice and BBQ sauce on the pork. Next, I had the Rum Runner (coconut and blended dark rums, banana liqueur, raspberry, grenadine, pineapple, orange, lime, $18, $15 during happy hour). It was very pineapple and coconut forward which overpowered all of the other ingredients. She also had the Let That ManGo (white rhum agricole, coconut, mango, lemon, $18, $16 during happy hour). The primary flavors here were mango with some grassiness from the agricole. We were here from about 6pm to 8pm on a Wednesday night and it was pretty dead with only a few other people in the place the whole time. They do have a stage in the back with live music acts, so it is probably busier when there is entertainment and on weekends. Our first bartender was Alex who was nice but we barely talked with him. Manager Pedro took over the bartender duties later on and we had a great time chatting with him. Service was great from both of them. The drinks are a few dollars above average, but if you come during happy hour, the drinks are several dollars off. Happy hour is currently all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday, and Thursday through Saturday from 5pm to 8pm. The food was good, the drinks were ok to good, and the atmosphere was great. Normally, this would probably be a one and done, but I really liked the build and would like to come back when it is busier, maybe on a weekend.

I got a little taste of the spicy fried rice, which was really good. Some of us ordered Thai tea and didn't expect what we received, which was the tea with a Thai tea popsicle. What a treat!

My first visit to The Win-Dow at Long Beach was sparked by a spur-of-the-moment decision to try something new and different in the area. Our order consisted of the basic cheeseburgers, one crispy fried chicken sandwich, fries, and milkshakes - a decent mix to gauge the overall quality of their offerings. Starting with the cheeseburgers, I found them to be just okay; they didn't quite live up to the hype I'd heard. While the anticipation for a mind-blowing burger was high, the reality was a bit underwhelming. The burgers came out slightly salty and, unfortunately, a tad burnt, which detracted from the overall experience. They weren't bad, but they didn't impress either, especially for someone with high expectations for their burger game. The crispy fried chicken sandwich, on the other hand, was a delightful surprise. It boasted an amazing crunch that resonated with each bite, complemented by flavors that danced tastefully on the palate. It's clear that The Win-Dow knows their way around a chicken sandwich, making it a must-try for poultry enthusiasts. The fries were another high point of our meal. They arrived perfectly crispy and were packed with flavor, elevating the humble side dish to something you'd eagerly return for. Milkshakes at The Win-Dow deserve a special mention - thick, fully loaded, and absolutely decadent. They were, without a doubt, the stars of the show. Each sip was a rich, creamy delight, showcasing their skill in crafting a truly indulgent shake that stands out in the Long Beach food scene. In summary, my experience at The Win-Dow in Long Beach was a mixed one. While the chicken sandwich, fries, and milkshakes were hits, the basic cheeseburgers left something to be desired. As such, it wouldn't top my list of destinations for a culinary adventure, nor would I go out of my way to dine there again. However, for those in the vicinity with a craving for a fantastic chicken sandwich or a decadent milkshake, it's worth stopping by. read more

And if you're in the mood for something refreshing, their shakes and drinks make the experience even better. The vibe is casual and relaxed, great for grabbing something quick without sacrificing quality. Plus, the service is fast and friendly, making you want to come back again and again. In short, The Win-Dow doesn't need fancy ingredients or gimmicks to stand out. Their burgers speak for themselves--simple, well-made, and absolutely delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! read more

Wow, just wow! This place serves up smash burgers that are out-of-this-world delicious! The brioche bun? Perfection. The meat party happening inside? Flavor explosion!

On a good day, The Window is incredibly delicious. The menu is simple, but everything is packed with flavor and done really well. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the location so close to the beach makes it an especially great spot to stop by in person. That said, my experience with delivery has been inconsistent. I've had multiple orders arrive cold, and a few times the burgers were undercooked, almost as if they were only cooked on one side. It's disappointing because when it's good, it's really good. The prices are very reasonable, but the lack of consistency, especially with delivery, makes me hesitant to order again. read more

The newly opened burger place in Long Beach fell short with its small, salty burgers that are overpriced. The chicken sandwich, priced at seven dollars, lacks value and is saltier than expected. Opting for Chick-fil-A is recommended for a better-sized, more affordable, and faster alternative. Even the cheeseburger, priced at four dollars, disappoints with its small, overly salty meat, suggesting In-N-Out as a preferable choice. The fries, unfortunately, are a letdown too, being overcooked and hollow. Overall, the experience doesn't justify the cost or taste. Don't worth the hype also overpriced. I honestly don't remember . read more

My date and I recently embarked on a spontaneous trip to Belmont Shore, and let me tell you, it was worth the drive from OC. While exploring the area, we stumbled upon a hidden gem that served the most incredible double cheeseburgers we've ever tasted! The juicy patties, the gooey cheese, and the soft buns were a match made in heaven. We heard that their fried chicken sandwich is so good, so we're already planning our next trip to try it. Despite the long line, the wait went by in a breeze, and the staff was helpful and friendly. Foodies, you don't want to miss out on this must-visit spot that will leave you craving more! read more

The Win-Dow has already established itself as a fantastic burger spot, and I was excited to try it in Long Beach! As someone who is a huge fan of smash burgers with a nice char, I found it to be great, although a bit smaller than what I typically prefer. However, what truly impressed me was the fried chicken sandwich with pickles. The fries were nice and crisp, making for an overall excellent meal. The service was pretty good, and I enjoyed the seating area. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Absolutely love! I've had both the regular double and the impossible burgers, and let me tell you, they're both top-notch. The flavors are on point, and the quality is undeniable. I haven't tried the chicken sandwich yet, but if it's anything like the burgers, I'm sure it's amazing too. Seriously, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Whether you're a meat lover or prefer plant-based options, this place has something for everyone. read more

Underwhelming. The establishment has an uncomfortable ambiance with minimal space making it crowded. Along with the tables and seats being small. The food was also sub par with the meal including a tiny burger that looked more like a slider. The soda was also very small for its price of $3.50. Overall just overpriced for the quality of the experience. Would not recommend especially if dining in. read more

Was here when one of the managers was yelling at his employees infront of all the customers and other employees. Not a good look Win-Dow. No professionalism or kindness from this man, older w/accent not a good guy I would avoid giving money to a company that give employs someone so ugly. The food it's self and other employees were good...but manager left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

I didn't think I would like smash burgers, but this place doesn't miss. The service was good because they took my order and answered my silly questions. I think the overall vibe was good and I appreciate the simplicity they have throughout the business. I will come back for another cheeseburger and vanilla shake with fries. read more

Ordered a double burger, fries and a Coke. My Coke came 70% ice. I drank it in a few sips and asked for a refill. I was told no. Ordered another Coke with no ice. They refused to sell me a drink with no ice. Any restaurant this cheap makes you question the quality of ingredients. Buyer beware! read more

Best pickles in all of Long Beach! I could literally write love letters to them. Snappy, vinegary and salty. Super balanced. The shakes are also AMAZING! Love love love to eat here with my best friend! Saved the drive up to Los Angeles:) read more

Kinda place 2nd street needed. Easy, good service, nice vibe. Very convenient. The burgers are yummy. They are on the smaller side, but also a good price. Fries are okay. Shakes and ice cream are tasty. read more

I don't appreciate the 3% surcharge to pay for medical. The employer should pay. I don't support any place that has a surcharge without informing you. read more
