Add jalepenos to The Burger. They are fresh and the perfect kick, especially with the curry ketchup.
Kathy DiazJuly 21, 2010Ranked as one of the top burgers in LA. Get it! And try the Virgil Root Beer on draft. Scoops ice cream too!
If you get regular fries, don't miss out on the curry ketchup!!
Damien NavarroJuly 11, 2010Curry ketchup is a must on the already incredible burger. Don't miss the hone pistachio gelato either
hands down the tastiest and BEST burger in town!!! try the sweet potato fries with curry ketchup, brilliant!
best sweet potatoes wedges I've ever had, seriously amazing. AND they serve scoops ice cream :)
Lindsay JonesNovember 2, 2013A fantastic burger! Get it medium, cause that's like a medium rare everywhere else.
Mr BryNovember 18, 2015Horrible service. I ordered my meal to go so I could eat half and save the rest for later. They told me I was not allowed to eat at the restaurant. Stupid rule and poor management.
Greg BravoJune 7, 2011New Belgium Le Terrior! Sour amazing beer. I need to find this for the fridge at home.
Mark RFebruary 20, 2010Have the burger cooked as rare as you can handle...great beef and great ingredients make a great burger.
Kyle VillellaApril 7, 2010They cook an amazing burger, but make sure you ask for medium well. They're "medium" is bit rarer than most.
Delicious hot dogs and Craftman 1903: this is one of my favorite places to enjoy a beer and people watch.
David O'ConnorOctober 6, 2010Turkey burger is good but a tad salty. I'll have to do the burger next time. Worth a trip.
The house burger is great with one of the beers of the week!
- The Burger, sweet potato wedges, and an Old Rasputin Float with Brown Bread gelato!
If you see a spaces on their draft beer board: ask em if they have anything "special" on.
Pinzon GriseldaAugust 27, 2010Seriously the best burger in LA!!! Ha don't think so, good burger but not great clearly over rated. Jalapeno slaw well let's just say never again.
