  Walked in earlier than ftw expected me to, the employee working the grill greeted me and noticed nobody had helped me so he came up and took care of me once he had finished his duties. Good spot

  Slow service, everything is out of stock, no customer service. Burgers arent anything special.

  Food is quite good, but apparently the store randomly closes their inside dining 40+ minutes early (nothing about this is mentioned anywhere online). By the time I got home my food was barely warm (I live around 10 min away) and grease had started to bleed through the bag. It's a good burger and loaded fries but if I arrive at an establishment well before close (especially a counter serve place) I expect to be able to enjoy my food there.

  Always on the lookout for a great burger and have heard a lot about For The Win, but my experience here was a bit disappointing. The burgers are cooked nicely and the cheese is good - but their fry sauce is overwhelmingly sweet, they charge an additional price for everything apart from the buns and meat, the vibes are uninviting, and the staff don’t seem to want to have anything to do with the customers. We were meeting up with my SIL/MIL and were all craving burgers so we came here for our family dinner. The decor is minimalist, bare bones, and quite sterile - definitely not an inviting place to linger. There are giant order screens instead of registers at the counter and the staff are hiding back in the kitchen and constantly seemed busy and overwhelmed even when we needed help (we were the only customers). We eventually figured out our issues on our own and got our food ordered with no help from anyone. We ordered three single cheese burgers and one double with some loaded fries, water bottles and a chocolate shake - almost cost $80! If you want lettuce and tomato or even pickles - extra charge. Pretty much nickel and dime you for anything other than the meat and cheese lol. And forget about water cups - there aren’t any water stations or anything so you’re forced to get bottled water (yay more microplastics). The food took a while to prepare and when it came out, our shake was missing. I asked the staff about it and he seemed very annoyed - but I eventually got it. The burgers were cooked decently - the meat and cheese have decent flavors but again, I was not a fan of how sweet their fry sauce was - it was overwhelming on both the burgers and the fries. I also asked for two extra sides of the sauce as I wasn’t sure what to expect and they charge extra for that too ($3 for two sauces) lol. It’s definitely not made in house - it came in pre packaged plastic like giant ketchup packets. Definitely wouldn’t get this again. The fries were pretty good and the chocolate shake was nice - those were the wins of our experience. I was also taken aback that the self-order kiosk asks you for a tip - you self order, pick up your order yourself when they put it on the counter so you take it back to your table yourself, AND clean up after yourself - which is totally fine but what would we need to tip for? The location is great - in the main core of the cute little downtown Alhambra area near the movie theater. Parking is easy in the garages nearby. The food isn’t bad and I would come again if it wasn’t so impersonal and expensive, but unfortunately based on this first experience I doubt we’ll be back - definitely preferred it when it was Grill Em All.

  I am a big fan of For The Win, but this is the first time ordering from the Alhambra location. I made an online pick up order at 6:15 PM but something cropped up and I wasn’t able to pick up my order until after 9 PM. I called to let them know and when I did show up 10 minutes before closing, the staff fired up a completely new order without me even asking. They were so sweet and I’m so impressed with the level of service. I had the double cheeseburger and fries and it was delicious as always. For The Win - FTW.
