The kitchen is also outside so it's similar to a farmer market set up. I ordered an onion bacon cheese burger and was surprised but how juicy the burger was.

Recommend you order ahead and pick up while the storefront is still being built.

My two hour workout probably didn't make much of a dent in the decadence of this meal, but it was…read moreworth it! I came down here because I have a friend from up north who's come down here a few times and suggested this place. He said it's one of his favorite places when he's in town, so that's saying a lot if it's a top place for him and the family. He was right. This was a juicy and incredibly tasty burger. I'd say it's up there with Amboy in Chinatown (Los Angeles) or the newer Amboy spot at Haven City Marketplace in Covina. This place is a gem. Ordering can be a little misleading; hence minus one star. This is a food court setup, and there are menus for each restaurant in these individual stands that are placed on top of a snack wall. If you're going to order from Rey TJ Burgers, it'll be to the left of the main restaurant/register that's directly in front of you when you enter. The main line is Mexican (and seafood I believe?), so I was standing for a while until a lady realized I was holding the Rey TJ burger and called me over. Ordering was easy. Rey TJ's didn't have drinks, so I hard to order from the Mexican food line. The cucumber aqua fresca was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best experiences since I've had since I've moved to the San Diego area. I'm loving it here more and more. I've also had the opportunity to practice a lot of Spanish which I absolutely appreciate. The people here are amazing and much warmer than many of the parts of Los Angeles. Buen dia!

Are you hungry? Of course that's why this review is being…read moreread. Are you looking for a good burger? That's another reason this review is being read. (: There's nothing supporting the local businesses. Here the business is supporting the consumer. These gentleman cook their foods with beef tallow and are very candid about what touched what. Then the best part the flavors. Boom! That's what this review is being read for. The burgers hit. The peppers give the burger a little kick, spice, and boom! As if the meat, egg, and sauces weren't enough. The peppers gave me that little launch into flavor heaven. Cloud 9 isn't enough to describe how good the meal was. Plus did I mention the crew is supporting you and your health. BOOM! (:

We placed our order with the friendly guys of this food stand and were given a beeper that would beep when our food is ready. We didn't wait that long before our food was ready. The burgers looked exactly how a smash burger should look, the edges of the patty sufficiently thin and crisp, and the buns were warm and had the right shine to them. The fries also look very good. Overall, the meal looked stunning.

This is always a great sign. The manager, Ben, is awesome. He greeted us and added us to the waitlist. We were seated after 10mins of waiting in a great spot. Our favorite server, Nathan, is a lead now. We were seated in Matt's area and he was our server. Nathan came by to say hi and greet us, this is excellent customer service here. Matt was also great and customer service oriented and he took our order for table apps and drinks. The ambiance here is fun, family friendly, cool, and good vibes all around. They have a DJ some Saturdays. There are also very cool theme nights. Tonight was "Wing Wednesday". I posted a photo of the theme nights. For example, Thursday is Teachers 15% Discount Day and Karaoke. The walls, seating, and table decor is very nice. The design element here is wonderful. Our food: Bulgogi Fries App for the table starter, Fish and Chips, Chicken Katsu Plate, Side Order of Garlic Fried Rice, And 10 (4 Salted Pepper, 2 BBQ, 2 Sweet Chili, 2 Buffalo) of the $2 each wings. The food was great! The vibe is awesome, and the overall experience was great. We also got a chance to talk to Ben the Manager, Nathan the lead server, and Matt our server tonight. They all came to check on us to make sure that everything was going well in our dining experience. We HIGHLY recommend stopping here to enjoy a great dining experience.

The first time we went I ordered the garlic green beans which were actually no longer on the menu. They were quite tasty. I also ordered a side of fried chicken which was also good. The second time we went I got the chicken wings and the side ceaser salad. The wings were not crispy enough and there was zero flavor in the breading. The salad was boring. Hubby got the cobb salad which was a large portion but otherwise just ok. note that there is no outdoor seating so leave Fido home. Probably would not bother coming back here.

We didn't realize the sausage party already included pretzel bites so we had double the amount of pretzels, our server failed to mention this to us. The food was unfortunately extra greasy, we felt so sick with all the grease that we couldn't finish it. The "pretzel" bites tasted like slices bread soaked in oil. The sausages were also all covered in oil. I would not have paid regular price for this food. Aside from that, staff was super nice. I just think they could improve on the amount of oil they use in their food!

We had not seen him in at least 8-9 years, and at the University Avenue location back then. We ordered: 1 Small Gyro Salad (comes with warm pita bread, 1 4oz Cheeseburger Combo with fries and a drink, and 1 Bodega Sub (Chopped hamburger meat and cheese with fries, and 3 fountain drinks. Total was $57 + tip. Our food was prepared well. There was one issue, the owner who took our order forgot to let the cooking staff know that my Husband did not want mustard & ketchup on his chopped bodega sub. So, they had to remake the sub, which delayed us from eating together about 7-9 minutes. It was okay, they apologized to us and the owner took responsibility for messing up the order. This is a great location and we will still come back. They are a nice business and the food is delicious.

Long story short I didn't try the pizza, Service sucked, went in ordered a 2 slice special with a small drink for 10$ Even put a 1$ tip Total due 11.88 Guy hands me a cup I said no thank you I have my yeti cup. He said how big is your yeti cup I say a little bit bigger than that cup. He said special comes with this cup and I have to use that cup... I said that doesn't make any sense. I laughed and said cancel my order and left. Then another guy said you can't do that in 7-11. Which I do ... I pay for a drink and use mine. Anyways, It's 100 degrees outside. Their cup would have kept my drink cold for .2 seconds. And maybe if they invested in some f AC I would've taken their cup. It was hotter in there than outside. If you go, for the love of God, never, ever, ever, take your cup. Never, ever! Looks like I'll have to try the 1000 other pizza places in a one mile radius.

It's just one slice of cheese that averages about .40 each, according to a national average. At any rate, the burger was very good. The half pound patty offered a good quality beef flavor and had very good texture as well. The lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles were all fresh and tasty. I had it with no sauce. I was pleased that they toasted the bun well. Well done. It was a very good burger and the service was good, too. The lady who took our order had a good sense of humor and was friendly.
