Lia ReconsalFebruary 21, 2011Yes do try the pastrami...but the 1/2 chicken plate with beans and plantains are a favorite...finish it off with an ube shake...
Shawn HermesSeptember 9, 2013Try the Royale burger or if you aren't in the mood for a burger, try the pulled pork.
Horchata Shake <3 (they discontinue this during the holidays though! But they always bring it back) oh, and they always have the game on!!!
Gaston HinostrozaApril 21, 2010I also am bananas about the classic 1/3 lb. burger, and because you can never have too much of a good thing, I get the double. If you go Oinkster pastrami - go posh, GO POSH!
Marci RosenblumDecember 5, 2009This place is delicious and worth a visit if you are in in these Los Angeles areas: Eagle Rock, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank. Try the Rotisserie Chicken, Red Cabbage Slaw and or the Plantains. Yummy! Read more
🍷Five O'Clock SomewhereOctober 16, 2011Pulled pork sandwich with a side of Caroline sauce...wow! Ube shake tastes like a macaroon, so good!
Jennifer LeeSeptember 2, 2012No need to try anything else on the menu. Just go straight for the pastrami. It's bomb.com.
Sharon IJanuary 8, 2012Try the grilled chicken with brie and extra garlic aioli for a delicious change of pace
P ASeptember 28, 2010Use the garlic aioli from the fries (or buy it seperately) on the pulled pork sandwich instead of the barbecue sauce. Amazing!!
Andrea KOctober 2, 2016Not great. Pulled pork is dry and served with NO BBQ sauce. They don't offer BBQ sauce there at all, as far as I can tell. I'm used to pork simmered in sauce with additional on the side.
txtMovieClubMay 31, 2012After feasting on the best pastrami this side of the Miss. Rsvp to attend a free movie screening at txtMovieClub.com
Marlo PalaciosAugust 1, 2010It's true! fries are cooked in beef shortening- yummmm! Ask for aioli on the side. If you must, you can request vegetarian fries instead.
Amanda ShafferOctober 23, 2011During happy hour (3-6om weekdays) they have pulled pork tacos that are delish!
Oscar GutierrezNovember 9, 2011That or you can go to the Americanna or Glendale Mall are other plaza's that are great for walking off a large meal Read more
Melissa LinthicumDecember 18, 2011Save room for dessert! Their peanut butter and jelly cupcake is phenomenal!
Greg CohnFebruary 27, 2011Great selection of draft beers. Look for neighborhood-brewed beers from the Eagle Rock Brewery.
Miss EllieDecember 27, 2014If you're a hipster you'll probably love it here. It's not bad, But not worth $10 for a small pastrami sandwich and $6 for a shake.
Ube shake is standard and Horchata shake is seasonal (summer only) but both taste very, very goodly
ᴡ KillamAugust 9, 2013Pastrami is really, really good, both in traditional and Reuben form. Fries are just meh. Skip em and get a beer instead.
Cheeseburger, Belgian fries, and an Ube shake to make all your worries disappear!
John MartinJune 6, 2010Everything is delicious but I think the hidden gems of the menu are the fried plantains and ube shake- Oscar GutierrezNovember 9, 2011After going there you can go shoping at the Eagle Rock Plaza to walk off what you ate. Read more
Victor RinoApril 26, 2010good stuff - had the 1/2 chick. w/ rice n beans n fried plaintains, tried JK's fries- they're like thick In n Out fries Read more
