Chili Fries in Bellflower

Chili over fries is a burger-stand classic, and Omega Burgers gives you four ways to order it: Chili Fries, Chili Cheese Fries, Large Chili Fries with Pastrami, and Chili Cheese Fries with Pastrami.

The order page lists all four without a description, so the names are the facts, and the names are clear. Chili Fries are fries with chili on top. Chili Cheese Fries add cheese. Large Chili Fries with Pastrami is a large order of chili fries with pastrami added on top, no cheese in the name. Chili Cheese Fries with Pastrami is the fully loaded one: fries, chili, cheese, and pastrami.

How to choose. If chili is what you want and you are eating them alongside a cheeseburger, plain Chili Fries do the job. Chili Cheese Fries are the one most people picture when they search for this, and the version that works as a shared plate. The two pastrami versions turn fries into a main course; the Large Chili Fries with Pastrami is sized for a table, and the Chili Cheese Fries with Pastrami is the one to order when you want everything on it.

These are messy in the good way. They suit a patio table on a Friday night in Bellflower, a late lunch for Kaiser staff who skipped breakfast, or a bag of food split between Cerritos College students in a parking lot. For a family heading home to Paramount or Downey, one Large Chili Fries with Pastrami in the middle of the table goes a long way.

For delivery or pickup, chili fries keep their heat but soften as they sit, so eat them first out of the bag. Grab extra napkins at the counter if you are dining in.

Dine-in, pickup or delivery from 16310 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, CA 90706. Prices and today's availability are on the order page.
