### 3/5 — Point system

*2026-04-17, version 25*

You need to spend $150 just to get $10 off an order. You don’t have to be a banker to realize how absurd that is. 
Never any offers available either

*2025-06-10, version 25*

My burger always hits at islands. My fries are always fresh. Parking is very easy and the service is always very good. Becoming one of my favorite places to go.

### 3/5 — Sunday Lunch

*2025-04-06, version 25*

Sat down immediately to a booth not busy just after 1:40pm.  Brandon served us was pleasant but did not follow up with drink refill had to ask and did not offer any fries before the meal or refills also did not ask if we needed anything else just left the check and went back to??

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-12-27, version 25*

If you require me to watch network TV, including sports, you cannot earn 5 stars, it’s just my rule. 
Food was good, refill on fries is no longer free and we both ordered no pickles but both sandwiches had pickles.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Staff

*2024-09-27, version 25*

I recently went to the Redondo Beach location to celebrate my birthday with four of my friends   We are all seniors and needed to be relatively close to the restrooms  Unfortunately that section was closed  I explained my concern and they opened a table in that section  The waitress Rachel told us she would happily take care of us but it may take a few minutes as her section in the main restaurant was full  We were so happy to be where we were that we gladly waited until she could get us  She was wonderful and made my birthday wonderful  River who was also there was great in providing us with drinks and making sure everything went beautifully  In today’s hectic world it was wonderful to be treated like royalty  Our compliments to both Rachel and River   Great experience

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT

*2024-09-24, version 25*

### 1/5 — Account migration is broken

*2026-02-07, version 25*

They updated their app and want you to migrate your account. When I do it I get an error that my email is taken. Yes that’s the point, you’re asking me to migrate the account. I have it a couple of months and it still has the same problem.

### 1/5 — New Receipts

*2025-10-02, version 25*

The new 2025 receipts have a different QR that is not redeemable by the App.

### 1/5 — Happy

*2025-07-16, version 25*

Best burger and staff in town!  Thank you 😎😎😎😎everyone!

### 1/5 — Randomly removes payment method

*2025-05-04, version 25*

I’m not even going to bother wasting my time anymore. Decided to order somewhere else. Not cool enough for Apple Pay yet apparently.

### 1/5 — Horribly Coded

*2024-08-11, version 24.0*

No Apple Pay

Can't save information such as address while entering CC Number causing excessive time to complete the order.

Just very poorly written. 

Why make your customers jump through hoops to spend their money at your restaurant?

You want your customers to have a smooth and seamless experience so they come back to spend more money on the app.

Do better!

### 1/5 — You can’t order

*2024-04-25, version 22.2.0*

Tried to order takeout using the app. The response after inputting everything was, we can’t contact the store. Call the restaurant directly and told him I tried to use the app, but it didn’t work and the response was that she hears it from a lot of people and they should just toss it out.not a very convenient way of running an app to use for convenience.

### 1/5 — Horrible services

*2023-09-18, version 22.2.0*

Visited the Fullerton Islands and was beyond disappointed with the service. We sat at a table in the bar were completely ignored. Ordered an appetizer and our diner came out before the appetizer and then the appetizer never showed up. Couldn’t get anyone to refill our drinks. After our meal we placed a take out order and that was brought out quickly but then we couldn’t get our check to close out.  Food was good but the service was so bad it ruined our meal.

### 1/5 — Staff Needs An Attitude Adjustment

*2023-06-04, version 22.2.0*

Food was good as usual. But the staff at this restaurant need some training. Bad attitudes and poor service started our evening. We had to switch tables to get served properly. No restaurant owner should except that level of customer service.

### 1/5 — Horrible service Santa Clarita

*2023-05-21, version 22.2.0*

Horrible service Santa Clarita beware!

### 1/5 — Misleading and flat out lies?!

*2023-01-26, version 22.2.0*

So maybe I’m wrong but it says in app 1$ spent = 1 reward point earned But I just spent 49$ before tip and scanned the receipt and only got 9 points…. And this has happen more then once so it flat out lies about how much rewards you earn?? Doesn’t seem fair I’m prob not even gonna bother like who cares if I spend 500$ to earn 10$ worth of rewards? It’s pretty messed up they can just lie about that
