Eat in the Quonset Hut. It is a historical WW2-era pre-fab building the developers had to save.

If people ask if it would be cool to share your sweet potato fries, just say no.

Great burger, tasty beer, friendly service!

The chef special burger with strawberries was okay. The bacon was far too hard for my taste. Next time I will just build my own (or just return to Fathers Office). This place is not cheap.

Service = nonexistent. Prepare to wait unexplainable long and not even have anyone say hello, even when empty. Burgers aight tho.
Shawn AsuncionMay 20, 2013
Your $6 milkshake is overrated. Even worse that you served it in a small plastic cup. Spicy Wahine Burger was good though.

Piacevolissima scoperta a Santa Monica. Un hangar dove mangiare degli ottimi hamburger biologici. Qualità degli ingredienti davvero elevatissima. Di elevata qualità anche la selezione di birre.
