Im from Texas and visited this location recently and the food was good and tasted fresh. The shift manager or manager was a short Hispanic lady who was very nice and polite. Hell I dont even get this service in restaurants where a tip is expected.

Good food. Better people. It feels like I'm living history today. Like "they" say, the good go first. May Allah (One God) have mercy on The Hustler of all time and may he rest in the best of peace, Nipsey.

Expensive is 1st thing I'll say. 1st time there and we spent $50 for 2 burger meals. Burgers wasn't bad but I've had better but less money. Customer service was great. Guys was nice taking order and bringing food out. Fries need help - ordered skinny fries. Need lots of ketchup and salt.

Customer service is awesome. Food is great, prices are very reasonable. We ordered the xxx with beacon, eggs, cheese, onion rings as extras. With everything on it, you should try it. Even when heated up the next day, still tastes great. I will definitely be back there for many trips.

Of course the food was delicious; however, I was pleasantly surprised on how clean this location was. The service was also great.

Food and service was great, but the parking situation is weird and kinda random. There must have been some local event because people were stack parking at Fatburger and walking to somewhere else. Food and service was great; we dined in while watching many random characters passing through outside like GTA.
