Rob's Grill - Baldwin Park

As I pulled up to the drive-thru, a recorded message played over the speakers. Since there was a car at the window, I was about to back out when someone finally came on the speaker to take my order. I could hear laughter in the background, which felt quite rude, but I decided to order anyway. I hadn't had a chance to look over the menu yet, so I asked them to hold on for a moment. The response was less than pleasant. When I inquired about the chicken sandwich combo, I felt rushed. The girl at the window suggested I pull up, but I wasn't finished ordering; my son also wanted onion rings. Then she forgot to ask what drink I wanted. I pulled up and was shocked to be charged $25! That felt excessive, but I figured it was worth it if the food was good. Another employee handed me my food, and before I could ask for ketchup, they slammed the window shut. After waiting 15 minutes in the drive-thru, I was growing more frustrated. The original girl finally opened the window and rudely asked what I needed. When I requested ketchup, she just dropped five packets into my hand, two of which fell to the ground. She laughed and made a snarky comment about what the fry cook had said. I guess he didn't realize I spoke Spanish because he told me to hurry up so I could leave. Very disrespectful. When I got home, I discovered that the bread on the sandwich was stale and had an unpleasant yeast smell, forcing me to throw the bun away. The fries were hot, but some were undercooked, and the ice in my drink had completely melted, resulting in a watery soda. The onion rings were decent, but they only provided a tiny container of ranch dressing. I think I'll be on the lookout for a new salad place!

- **Clam Chowder**: Very rich and creamy, packed with clams. - **Almondigas**: A touch on the salty side, but overall quite tasty. - **Rib Eye Steak**: I ordered this with rice, and it was delicious! The steak was full of flavor. - **Spaghetti**: I was surprised to find this dish on the menu! It came with a generous amount of ground beef and had a flavor profile similar to Spaghetti Bolognese. I think it could benefit from a bit less salt. - **Pastrami Melt**: This was excellent and had a great taste. The customer service was also commendable! It's a wonderful spot to enjoy a meal with friends and family.

I absolutely love this place! The hamburgers are incredibly delicious, and the fries are the best I've ever had. My only suggestion would be to place a phone order, as they prepare your food fresh when you order, which is fantastic.

The lady at the front who cleans has pointed eyebrows and is quite rude; she treats customers as if they are employees.
