A fantastic burger! Get it medium, cause that's like a medium rare everywhere else.

Burger is good, but do not ask for well done. Once you do the cashiers attitude changes and she clearly become a witch to you. Not only did she do withe, but he did it with another couple as well.

Go to The Golden State and get the burger with the Jalapeno slaw. It's mighty delicious and not as heavy as the fries.

Ranked as one of the top burgers in LA. Get it! And try the Virgil Root Beer on draft. Scoops ice cream too!

Horrible 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.
Kyle VillellaApril 7, 2010
They cook an amazing burger, but make sure you ask for medium well. They're "medium" is bit rarer than most.
Greg BravoJune 7, 2011
New Belgium Le Terrior! Sour amazing beer. I need to find this for the fridge at home.
