Fronk's Restaurant

Where: 9260 Alondra Blvd
Price: $10

As the voice of the Clippers Ralph Lawler would say, "Oh me, oh my!"

This trip started out around 11 a.m. on Saturday and while looking for breakfast, I figured why not eat a burger? Since I didn't feel like driving very far for a place, I went on Yelp to help me find a nice spot around the Pico Rivera area. I found Fronk's Restaurant and their pictures really intrigued me. I had to check out their burger immediately to see if it was really that big.

Luckily for me, the restaurant was off the 605 freeway on Alondra Boulevard. I got there in 10 minutes and was pretty excited. As you can see in the picture, the outside texture of the restaurant won't marvel you, but it's a different story inside. To me, it was a mix between a sports grill bar and a western restaurant put in one, very family friendly. There were only two people working and I ordered behind three people so it took about 20 minutes to get my burger.

Taste
I'm always going to get the signature burger from the places I go so I ordered the "Fronken Burger". The ingredients include a half-pound angus burger with beer battered onion rings, maple bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, and Chipotle ranch sauce. Yeah, that's a boat load of stuff going on in the burger. I also ordered sweet potato fries for my side dish that each burger comes with.

To be honest, the burger was intimidating. It was the largest burger I have ever seen, it was a tower. My warning: there is no chance to get a clean bite on the burger, no matter how big your mouth is.

As big as the burger was, the taste was overwhelming, burger nirvana was instant. Let me just say that the patty melted in my mouth, if that makes any sense. It was soft and flavorful, this was indeed the best burger patty I have tasted thus far. I am not really an onion ring in my burger guy, but boy, the crispiness of the ring was light, not very crunchy (which is good for me). The Monterey Jack cheese, along with the Chipotle ranch sauce, gave it a nice small kick after swallowing. So many flavors, nothing was bland, not even the fresh tomato and lettuce. The flour of the bun has no flavor, but the bun was sweet and the crust was buttered nicely.

I didn't bother eating a lot of fries because the burger had me full. As much as I tried to focus on the individual ingredients, the flavor the angus patty prevented me a little to explain a lot more. It was too good, I really can't say enough about it.

Please come here. I have to give it a perfect score.
