Love the chicken Caesar salad. All American Burger is good too. Chipotle stuff is a bit spicy for my asshole but still tastes good. Ask for cinnamon raises bread
Taj MMarch 15, 2011The turkey burger has A LOT of rosemary in it... more than expected, but still good. Yes, rosemary is in its name, but still... if you like a little rosemary, this might be overwhelming for you. Goo
Justin WebsterAugust 9, 2014Service was great. Had the hummus plate and it was an excellent value. Cool spot for a snack/light meal.
Great service from staff. Sean is dope bartender. Turkey Club w/ spicy dijon and the ice cold stella hit the spot. Cheers!
Dayna CAugust 5, 2013Get the Southern burger. You won't regret it. Best burger I've had in Los Angeles thus far.
POTG DesignAugust 11, 2011Food isn't amazing, but large selection. Great place for client meetings, with large tables and free WIFI. Park in the parking lot behind, 2 hours free with validation.
Food is quite good! One of the best spots in Ktown - OH! their on-tap beer selection is enviable!
Absolutely LOVE the chicken walnut apple salad with mango salsa dressing!!! Funny thing is, they give TOO much chicken! =D
One if the better American style breakfast and lunch spots in Koreatown.
Sandwich change to wrap><. It's so good><* and butter kk
Watch your drinks! The bar back took my drink and THEN tried to start a fight with me when I told the bartender.
Julian NamMarch 3, 2011They have great soup (surprise!). I especially like the split pea soup. And the pasta is good too.
Jane DoeDecember 21, 2014Football Sunday here is either a huge hit or miss.. Depends on the bartenders.
BXXAugust 25, 2011Great place for meetings. Park for 2 hours in the Ralph's lot behind the building.
The cobb salad is good and good sized. The homemade blue cheese dressing is quite tasty.- No more 50% off deal, it's now 25% off menu price for any orders before 10am, $1 packaging fee for to-go
Half off your entire bill when you eat there 8-10 am

"One of my favorite concert venues I have been to. The interior is stunning and elegant. There also was security so I felt safe. Only downside is even a PBR was $15!"
