Ordering is simple, the tough part... waiting for your order to be ready. But I think the wait is worth the tasty chicken goodness of CCC. Just from observation, orders tend to take a while... Even phone orders can take up to 25 minutes to be ready. Maybe they're over capacity in customers VS their chicken oven capacity. I got a cesar wrap, good stuff, and they're quite big for portions. I got a bowl of their veggie soup on the side, quite tasty too. As others mention, it is quite a healthy place. Give them a try...

They get 3 for my initial review. This was my first visit here. My girlfriend and I had a Groupon for a dinner for two which consisted of a  3-course meal. All of which was quite yummy. The blackberry cobbler was pretty tasty, the waiter recommended it. If Groupon has another deal, be sure to buy one and try them out.

They will get 1 star from me initially. Terrible service, and lack of space. The waitress wouldn't let us move outside because they were quote "closing the patio". I don't know how that was possible when there were 4 tables full of customers and 2-3 waitresses serving them outside! It took 20 minutes to get the damn waitress to even acknowledge our existence and take a drink order. Apparently, she was poorly trained by a 1/2-ass Manager. Until things shake up in management and employee training, 1 star only. Sorry BWW Puente Hills, YOU FAIL.

What am I doing here reviewing a fast food joint? Well, I was hungry and thought it would be worth mentioning.

As you know Carl's Jr. introduced the Hardy's line of breakfast biscuit sandwiches. You know, from those commercials you see on TV with the "man from the South, during the underwear party". The commercial makes them look so go to try, so that's what I did... I went to get one for breakfast this morning at this Carl's Jr. out in North Hollywood.

As far as I know, there is 3 to choose from? But when I came up to the drive-thru speaker, the CJ employee asked if I would like to try out their MONSTER biscuit sandwich... I was like WTF?! So I quickly saw it on the menu and said to her,"sure! I'll take TWO!" LOL

Let me tell you, this thing is almost as big as a hamburger. And it's super yummy too. Fluffy biscuit, tasty cheese, egg, bacon AND sausage. Oh so filling too.

I'd like to thank that man from the South, who brought Carl's Jr. on the Westside tasty breakfast biscuits!

My brother knows the owner of this establishment. We got the rock star treatment w/ drinks and dessert comped... as well as a discount on our food. Not bad on our first visit here. Fat Spoon is a top notch establishment, very polite and friendly... most importantly of all, YUMMY FOOD. I would say it's a nice alternative to Curry House which is up the street. The seating layout doesn't seemed crammed up like Curry House usually is (elbow to elbow w/ your neighboring table). To die for: Mac & Cheese, Curry-Jalapeno fries, sausage links. The mac and cheese is greasy-cheesy-baked goodness. I think if you look at the melted fat, it may induce a heart attack! LOL! Nah, but, as my cousin said, BEST Mac & Cheese she's ever had. The curry fries have kick, and the sausage links are a nice side addition if you want additional meat to your platter.

I had the Hamburg Cutlet Curry - a nice sized hamburger patty w/ flavor paired with a heaping gravy boat of curry sauce and mound of rice. OMG, I was stuffed. I looked at my belly in the mirror and I thought I was preggo, LOL.

We'll be back.

Yummy food, cheap prices, friendly and attentive staff. What more can you asked for? Also, they close late - in case you're not craving the typical IHOP, Denny's or RH-Garden Cafe. I love Phoenix and they don't fail to fill my appetite. I love their lettuce cups w/ minced chicken. I can eat that all day!

Tried this last week w/ my girlfriend and her brother for an early dinner/quick bite, since we've been going to Vicious Dogs up the street. Much more than hot dogs, this place also specializes in Soul Food. Fried Chicken with the fix-ins. The place is kind of pricey, well above what Vicious Dogs charges for a hot dog. The Chicken platter was already $9+. I tried the Loaded Fries topped w/ fried macaroni and cheese and chili, while my girlfriend had a side of mac & cheese plus a square of corn bread. Her bro had a hot dog turned into a combo.

I do want to try out Chicken and Waffles, BUT it's only available on Sundays. Booo...

My girlfriend enjoyed this place before heading to Costco. We had the lumpia shanghai, chicken adobo, pancit bihon and a small plate of steam rice. A feast! To finish off lunch, we shared a halo-halo, her first halo-halo ever to try out. She loves Filipino, most importantly, me (since I'm FIlipino) lol!

What sucks, the parking outside. I didn't Valet my car, but I still had to pay $2.50 to self park, how LAME.

    This was my coworker and I's last resort since Salo Salo CLOSED (because they lost their lease). It's a SHAME they don't have corned beef served here under the breakfast menu (even Salo Salo has this... and I'm sure other Filipino places as well). Maybe it's not sophisticated enough for Max's. After all Max's IS better in the actual Philippines than here in the USA, so I've heard. Although, the food we ordered wasn't bad. Breakfast all day is always good, plus hella cheap at less than $6-7. My buddy got a big plate of bihon pancit and lumpia... He's craving adobo though and still, the missing scorned beef.

    Dear Max, put corned beef on your breakfast menu!

Took my girlfriend here a few months ago on a date (June 2011) after watching most recent Pirate of the Caribbean movie. The moscato wine is tasty and nothing says awesome like AYCE bread sticks and salad with your meal. They always seem to do a decent job at their food, even with the giant wait in line to get a table.

But yesterday, October 16th, seem to be some pretty BAD service. 45 minutes to an hour for a table. Waiting an eternity for a drink order or even taking our order... or even waiting for a salad and breadsticks. Worst? waiting for breadsticks to come out when your last bits of the meals are running cold. The waitress had forgotten the breadstick refill! My girlfriend and I waited 20 minutes. We inquired about those breadsticks and immediately asked for the check as well. Tip reduced for poor service. And they half-assed the breadstick refill (two? really?). Shame on you Burbank Olive Garden.

Definitely best in town. My girlfriend brought me here last Friday because they said the burritos are really good and huge. She was right. The carne asada burrito was chopped full of flavor. The salsa seemed to range from hot to super hot to nuclear. My girlfriend got a burrito w/ linua (tongue) and that tasted great as well. They seem to know the owner and are regulars here. Sometimes you'll catch the guys playing music w/ the guitar, bringing a nice mood inside the restaurant. Best of all, they have jamaica to drink (the "j" is silent, so ha-my-cah).

To the haters - take your hate elsewhere. Go eat Dell Taco LOL
