Its hard to find a good restaurant these days. So much fast food.
They would have figured out how to charge for them . . .

Oh. Some folks said they thought their burgers contained whole almonds.

My almonds are moving.
Oh Darn! , … have not been there and was thinking about trying the burgers, … Well, 🙁
Thank you for posting. I will never eat there.
No, not going there.
That’s disgusting. The owner of that franchise should be ashamed.
Concord is infested with rwo types of rats 🐀 🐀 and three types of cockroaches 🪳 🪳 🪳.
Restaurants and stores selling food in Concord likely has rats 🐀 🐀 and/or cockroaches 🪳 🪳 🪳. Concord City Hall – Civic Center has a rat 🐀 and cockroach🪳 problem. Unless all citizens/residents, businesses, and local government does their part in controlling these pests we will continue to be infested with these dirty creatures.
If there this type of health infiltration Trader Joe’s and surrounding areas are just as full
Health Dept should; check out the bad smell coming from Tea 4 in Ygnacio Plaza walnut creek and the poor food handling at Mooyah across the way. Ugh!
… taking it off my “got to try” list
Went there once and the burgers were nothing special. Then got the wrong bill 3 times! Never went back. Now, glad I didn’t. So many other better cleaner choices.
Glad I never tried their burgers.
Makes me wonder about the other locations in that shopping strip mall….🤔
