5 /5 Jessie Russell: After my 4th meal here, breakfast and dinner, I can confidently say everything has been great. The staff are kind and Ive not had to circle the whole dining room to find a clean table. The fried zucchini is astounding! Its as long as my forearm and since the pieces are so thick (a zucchini is just cut lengthwise in 4ths lol) it doesnt end up overcooked, and still has perfect texture. I dont know what oil they deep fry in but it doesnt overpower the taste of the vegetable, wow. The part-cornmeal breading has a perfect crunch, and doesnt sweat off. The fries are also cooked perfectly. The shakes taste like real, creamy, ice cream (+whipped cream!), and are thoroughly & evenly blended to a consistent texture. Awesome.
Breakfast was great, with ample servings and eggs that werent overcooked. The chicken was out of stock when I tried to order the spicy chicken sandwich, but the burgers are very good. I have found that the sauces arent always evenly spread, twice I had a half dry sandwich until I found the pile of thousand island. Thats a bummer. I also found the avocado to be too old for my tastes, and wiped it off my burger after paying extra for it.
I love that ALL the seating in the dining room is padded. The tables are generously spaced, so theres enough room to walk around without having to make contact with other patrons. The bathroom has been stocked and reasonably clean every time Ive used it, also the hand soap smells nice (whaaat?!?! A miracle!).
The parking lot is in rough shape (like most of El Centro) and parking can be iffy when theyre busy, particularly because they direct the drive-through line through parking spots. Im not from around here, and not familiar with these restaurant chains. Im elated Ive learned never to mess with Rallys again, what a miserable waste that was when Farmer Boys is an option!
