tl;dr the solid steaks and sleeper onion rings highlight a rejuvenated menu of steakhouse classics…read moreat this timeless Santa Monica restaurant Restaurants come and go in Los Angeles faster than Disneyland passes, and only a select few spots withstand the test of time. The Golden Bull in Santa Monica is one such classic stalwart, serving Santa Monica Canyon for over 75 years (nearly as long as McDonald's has been in existence). Over the decades, this seaside chophouse has been synonymous with a mean steak and a stiff cocktail; even a recent renovation and change in ownership stayed true to the Golden Bull's core. Now, the Golden Bull remains one of the most highly recommended steakhouses in LA. Waves are crashing across Pacific Coast Highway just blocks away. Outside, the prior parking lot has been converted into a breezy street-ery. The moody interior feels straight out of an episode of Mad Men, apart from the 90s pop echoing around the room. White-linen tables are pressed up to reupholstered leather booths. The dark wooden walls are decorated with historic black-and-white photographs and portraits. A blue-toned tropical aquarium serves as the centerpiece of the trim backlit bar. I visited with my family for weekend "Golden Hour," and the space was mostly deserted. We ordered dinner and drinks across both the happy hour and standard menus. The sleeper hit of our meal was the Buttermilk Onion Rings. These rich, shoestring-style rings were plenty capable as a standalone side, but they were enhanced by the tangy garlic aioli and zingy chipotle mayo. The crispy, skin-on Garlic Herb French Fries were no slouch, either, as a sidekick to the onion rings. The other happy hour specials were less memorable; the Canyon Caesar was mostly standard, while the Fried Calamari was crispy but dry and underseasoned. The 16oz NY Strip was on the fatty side, but the deliciously seasoned, well-cooked meat never for a second needed a drop of steak sauce. The French Onion Soup was heavy on Gruyere and bageutte while curiously light on onion. The Creamed Spinach was hardly creamy or cheesy, and the spinach was unseasoned. Lastly, my Old Fashioned was stiff and otherwise standard. The service was sluggish but friendly. The happy hour prices were plenty reasonable, while the steak alone approached $70. Not all of the items were hits, but collectively, our meal was a success. In the future, I will be sure to re-order the onion rings, while I may venture further into the Golden Bull's delectable steak lineup.

Weekday lunches here have always been on the quiet side in my experience, so it was great to see a lively crowd for once. (Because I don't want them to go out of business.) This location has everything you'd expect from Shake Shack -- attentive service, a clean and welcoming space, and those burgers, fries, and shakes that keep you coming back. The real standout, though, is the parking. The lot is literally steps from the entrance, and I found a spot easily even on a busy Sunday -- a small miracle by LA standards. Sure, it's a splurge for a burger, but some days you just need to treat yourself. This spot makes it easy to justify.

The defining characteristic here is that they make their burger patties using short rib and their shoestring fries are fried in beef tallow. Say less!

This place was popping on a sunny day, which is always a good sign. It's got that slightly artsy, Venice vibe on the outside, but still feels laid-back and fun. The burger delivered. Soft bun, gooey melted cheese, and those crispy edges on the patty that give it that smash burger magic. Nothing overly complicated, just done right. Exactly what you want when you're hungry after riding around. They've also got tallow fries and ice cream, which makes it feel a little more fun than your standard burger stop. Overall, really solid experience. Good food, good energy, and worth a stop if you're in the area.

Please, take my advice - ADD PASTRAMI, to whatever you're ordering, you will not regret the added burst of rich flavor in every bite. Service is friendly, when during rush hours - the burgers may take a little longer. On this particular night I decided to go for the vanilla/chocolate mix shake as well as a side of fries to share. Their fries are incredibly well made - I enjoy a nice crisp on the outside. Plenty of seating available inside the restaurant, but again during busy dinner hours, fills up quick!

I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile as they blown up on social media and today just felt like a burger and fries day and I have to say this is a place that lives up to the hype and more. I ordered the grilled smash and it was amazing. Perfectly balanced and delicious and the perfect size for me, not too big or small, not too greasy, packed a ton of flavor across the meat, cheese and perfectly balanced with their house sauce and pickle. Ate that one up too. I also appreciated their level of service in how they packaged up my order so nicely and with a great level of care, and hooked me up with a ton of fries too - they were overflowing when I opened the bag and still nice and hot when I took them home!

They nickel-and-dime you with the sauces, charging $1.27 for an ounce of sauce and overpriced Coke bottles at $3.75. Once we paid, take into mind we placed our own order at the kiosk, collected our food, which was prepared for to-go only, arranged our own tables for our grandchildren, and were charged a 5% fee for having a party of more than 6. Remember, this is a self-serve hamburger joint with no waitresses, no busboys, or cash registers. Whoever is responsible for the store's communication needs training. I love to go out and eat, and I am a huge advocate for small businesses, but this one does not deserve any stars. This is how the message started: Hey there, Thank you for reaching out to us. I understand your frustration regarding the 5% charge on your recent visit, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We apply a large party fee to all large orders for operational reasons. This helps our team manage the additional logistics and coordination required to accommodate larger groups within our workflow. We value your feedback as a guest and will share your comments regarding the fee disclosure with our management team. Best regards,
