I 've always gone to the Culver City location (which is huge and great for bigger groups). First time at this og location... definitely a more cozy feeling, but the food and service was just as good and less pressured to leave when you 're done eating (at the culver city location they start clearing your table when you 're done eating, so you feel pressured to leave or buy more food/beer). The only negative is that the burger alone is now $19 fries $8....prices have really climbed. The restaurant was 75% empty during peak lunch hours on a Sunday, though this is probably more of a night spot. Still my 2nd favorite burger after in n out in CA and the fries are SO addictive with the garlic aoli...
This is a landmark. Great beer selection, knowledgeable bartenders, solid burger with caramelized onions and fresh arugula, shoestring fries made just right. Warm atmosphere and dim lighting invokes the old school bar, but there's nothing divey about this place. It's not inexpensive but not pretentious either. Thankfully only one lonely TV hangs in the corner showing recaps that no one really watches, I think. It's mostly 20s and 30s here, but no one older should feel out of place. Absolutely no kids allowed, be forewarned. Gluten free options are limited, as are vegetarian options (except sides).
Not that many places leave you craving a bite consistently for over 20 years. We’re blessed in Santa Monica to have a place on Montana Ave offering fine dining type dishes at bar food prices. Say what you want about the burger, but you’re still talking about it. Smart thing to do is to try for yourself and form your own opinion. I can eat the tater tots daily and sometimes do. I appreciate that there are seasonal dishes and the attention paid to plating. Obviously no one will impress you more with their beer selection and the bartenders are some of the most knowledgeable in town. Never change FO.
This place serves outstanding food and has a great beer selection and very attentive and friendly staff. The only negative was the fact that, on a Saturday night, they started very visibly breaking down the restaurant for an early close at 9pm. The posted hours have them open until 11pm. The kitchen closed at 9:15pm, and they said they were trying to close the whole place down by 9:30. This made us feel quite rushed and we left earlier than planned as a result.

The food was bomb, amazing, delicious; we had the famous burger and shared a steak too, the steak was alright, but let me tell you guys the burger was out of this world, I would love to come back for that burger, the only thing i did not like was the setting, its small and thats not the issue but the lighting was very dark inside i could barely see my food, wish i couldve gotten a picture but overall score to the place 8.5/10 but food was 100 easily.
Let me be honest….. I only stopped in for a quick beer with a friend. Never had the food but I heard it s very good. My experience with the beer was great. They have 20+ taps with lots of interesting kinds. I had a mango Heffinvise (spelling? . It was awesome. They have both inside and outside seating and a cool vibe
I understand that this is a gastropub, but when you don’t allow food modifications when someone has an anaphylactic food allergy, it alienates the food allergy community.
Some say this is a top 10 burger joint, others say it's top 5, but in my opinion it truly is the top 3 greatest burger joint in LA.

Cool little bar. I like the Culver City location a bit better but they have an excellent beer selection
So good. Having been a cook, I adore that they refuse to amend their food for the customer.
