Red and white tile, open kitchen, cooks in white hats calling out orders. You watch your whole meal get made. Double-Double Animal Style and fries. Order at the counter, they bring it out. Burger lands wrapped in paper, still steaming. Soft bun, cold crisp lettuce, cheese melted into the patty, grilled onions and spread dripping. Messy. Worth it. Fries are cut in-house -- you can see the potatoes stacked by the slicer. Thin, hot, not greasy. Lightly salted and gone fast. Just fresh ingredients done right. Burger and fries for under $10 and you walk out full. This is probably my 2000th burger, and it still hits the same. An icon. The best! An LA staple. Clean, fast, consistent. When you want a real burger without the hype or the $25 bill, this is it.

1-Star !! Yep, I'm done acquiescing to this location. How is…read moreit possible you get my order wrong virtually EVERY SINGLE TIME? It is not my 'burden' to ensure you're doing your jobs! I'm not getting paid to manage you, that is your MANAGER's job. I'm paying you for a service I am not getting, most of the time. This location gets my order wrong so often, I'm convinced it's by design to make the numbers look good. The manager gets away with it because ALL YOU SYCOPHANTS refuse to under-rate them when YOUR order doesn't go as planned. Most of America gets away with subpar service because a significant proportion of the Public can't be bothered to report or refuse to report so they can feel part of the In-N-Out Burger Cult. I order the same meal every time, with two fries and I only get one. They're often stale and resemble classic potato chips. I order a strawberry or vanilla shake and half of it is blended with chocolate. The burger is just meh at this point, nothing special, somewhat dry and small. But if I actually 'get my food' then at least I haven't been robbed of my money! The owner is an entitled billionaire who left the state because she didn't want to pay (literally) pocket change to the government to make our lives better. And here she is having her managers nickel and diming us to keep her profits absurdly high... I'm over it. I hope she fails. Get it together, Hollywood manager. Fix that traffic issue, fix the low quality of food preparedness, and stop ripping-off your customers who are too sycophantic to report your indiscretions. Cheers!

This is my first time here at the shake shack in Hollywood…read more Wanted something to eat. I was able to mobile order my food. There's lots of seating in here. That you can also order on the kiosk. Lots of great options as they usually have. There's even seating outside especially here in LA. We have great weather so lots of outdoor seating. So if you're looking for some great burgers come to the shake shack in Hollywood

Very disappointing experience…read more I visited this Shake Shack on Friday around 2-3 PM, when temperatures were close to 100°F. The lobby was closed, and customers were expected to sit outside in the extreme heat. The manager informed customers that the lobby was closed but did not provide any explanation as to why as there was no construction going on and the tables were clean, with nothing wrong with them. There were children and elderly customers outside, and I was also working with an adult with autism at the time. I found it extremely concerning and unprofessional that customers were left outside in those conditions while the restaurant continued serving people. I understand that there may be operational reasons for closing the lobby, but customer safety should still be a priority, especially during extreme weather. On top of bad customer service- service was slow. A formal complaint has been reported to Shake Shack regarding this incident, and I hope management takes the matter seriously and reviews what happened at this location.

I have been to many Raising Cane's and I do have my favorite that would be Inglewood near Sofi…read morestadium for sure, unfortunately I now have my least favorite location Sunset and Highland in Hollywood, The food was good, but the customer service was awful, just from one shorter female employee in particular, in a pink shirt, and tan baseball cap, 9pm on a Tuesday. I hate to give a negative review, but I will tell you what happened, I ordered my 4 piece combo to eat in, they made it to go, no bigger, and when I went to pick it up, I felt interrogated by how long she studied my recipe, before handing over my food. And at the end of my meal I went for a refill of lemonade, for my half and half lemonade and unsweetened iced tea, I was going to be charged for it, but the iced tea was a free refill and she was rude about it, I am a calm respectful chill, not bad looking, kind, well spoken, clean cut guy. I didn't deserve that, no customer does I love being a Yelp Elite, and giving great restaurants (including fast food) great reviews, and really like this franchise, but will probably not be returning to this location unfortunately Hope your experience is better.

This is my second visit to a Raising Cane's restaurant. My first visit was two years ago in Tucson…read more My friend and I each ordered "The Caniac Combo" meal; which is 6 Chicken Tenders with dipping sauce, Crinkle-Cut Fries, Texas Toast, Coleslaw, and a huge 32 ounce beverage. The Tenders were a decent size, very fresh and tasty. Our complaint is the tenders were luke warm. The fries were also good with a decent size portion, but they were also luke warm. The Texas Toast was fresh, but not warm at all and boring in taste. The Coleslaw was awesome and tasted great. If you like cold and creamy slaw, you'll love this side. Unfortunately, it's a real tiny portion. Just like the Tucson location, the food comes out super fast after ordering, and the employees are super friendly and helpful. The meal at the Tucson location was very warm compared to this location in Hollywood. I'll probably visit a Raising Cane's restaurant again, but they need to work on sending out much warmer food. Both locations had a similar vibe; very busy inside the restaurant and a long line of cars in the Drive-Thru.

In all my years, I've never been to a Tommy's, even though I had one near me in Santa Monica, and…read morethis one here in Hollywood when I lived in the same city. For me, it's the chili that turns me off as I am not a fan of this food at all. Growing up, my family always made it with kidney beans which I don't eat, so I always thought chili was made with these (obviously learned later this was not the case). When a friend was craving Tommy's, I finally caved in to try it for myself. For this visit, I went for the #4 California cheeseburger with fries and a medium drink. I had a little trouble understanding the staff but once we were on the same page, everything was good. This was not bad; fries were decent and the burger was a big one. My first meal at Tommy's wasn't bad. Friend was raving about their strawberry milkshake so I returned later on my own for a chocolate one. Wasn't sure if this was the kind I can't stand (vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup instead of chocolate ice cream) but I finished it. Glad Tommy's isn't too far, and after a couple visits, I may add it into my rotation-

The crispy beef wrap was sooooo good - I wish they automatically came with extra sauce. Clean and spacious eating area with colorful wall art. The worker was very kind and food didn't take long to get prior to a dinner rush. I think the baklava was cold - so I believe is refrigerated with their chocolate strawberries- and I would have preferred it kept at room temperature but hey maybe if I ordered it for "here"- they would have gave me some from different batch. I would definitely come back!

Tried Ara's Shawarma on Sunset Blvd and ordered the family meal for 4-6 people priced at $99.99…read more With 9.75% tax and a 3% credit card fee, the total came out to about $112. Service was good overall. I first tried placing a pickup order through their website, but after several failed attempts I ended up calling the order in instead. The food was ready in 30 minutes as promised. The chicken and beef lula kebabs were tasty, juicy, and well seasoned. Unfortunately, the beef and chicken breast shashlik kebabs were very dry and lacked flavor. Side dishes including the roasted peppers, grilled Roma tomatoes, hummus, garden salad, and rice were decent but nothing memorable. The 10 pitas were also a little dry. Overall, it's an average spot like many others around Los Angeles. Glad I tried it once, but that was enough for me. Not really a place I'd keep coming back to.

Found a BOGO on Facebook and decided to give it Chicken Guy a try. I'm really glad I did!…read more First of all, even though it's near Hollywood and Vine, it's nice, clean, and I saw security on site. No worries going there. There's seating indoors, and plenty of shaded seating out on the patio. The server, Marshall, provided excellent service. He was very friendly and professional. The manager brought out my food; he was really nice, too. Oh yeah, the food. YES!! I had the hot honey chicken sandwich. Spicy mustard and coleslaw. I loved it. It was every bit as good as another really famous chicken sandwich place in LA that's on a top ten list, and it's about $10 less! It's $10.49. Well worth it! I also had the CG Classic. It's simple: pickles and special sauce. At only $8.99, that's the same price as the hand-breaded Carl Jr. chicken sandwich. The CG is so much better, not even close by a zillion miles. The quality is excellent; staff and service are top-notch. If you're a tourist doing the Hollywood Blvd thing, or you just want a great chicken sandwich or tenders, this is a terrific spot when you want to take a break from looking at all those stars on the sidewalk.

There are so many options to choose from, ranging from sweet to spicy, and each one adds a completely different flavor to the chicken. I tried a few --they were all so good! It's the kind of place where you'll want to keep going back just to try more combinations. The vibe is casual and perfect for a quick bite while exploring Hollywood. Service was quick and everything felt fresh.

I was in the area and in need of a quick bite. I got the chili with cheese, onions, and sour cream, as well as an order of nuggets. The nuggets were semi-fresh, but the chili was perfect! I can't speak on the ambiance of the place because I placed a drive thru order, but from what I saw, it was a clean Wendy's! There's even gated outdoor seating, which I'd never seen at a Wendy's before. It was clearly a more "bougie" Wendy's. I'd definitely come back! The prices have been going up though, so some of the combo meals cost a couple dollars more than I remembered. The 4 for 4 is now $6 and $7.

My family and I stopped at Astro Burger for lunch while in the area. We took a rideshare there…read more The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. It has tables with chairs and barstool seating inside and tables covered by large umbrellas outside. The restaurant is very brightly lit due to all of the windows. Upon entering we headed to the counter to place our order. There was a menu that we could look at. While deciding what we wanted we were met by a person working. She took our order, we paid, and found a place to sit. We waited about 10 minutes and then our order was called. My husband then brought it to our table on trays. For my meal I ordered the Astro Burger no cheese. It came with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, signature sauce, and I added mustard. With my meal I got a side of onion rings and feta cheese fries. The burger was good. You could definitely taste the charbroiled meat and the signature sauce added flavor. The onion rings were really good. They had a crispy exterior and the onions were sweet. The fries with feta cheese were good. The fries were a good size, had a crispy exterior and a soft interior. The feta cheese on top gave the fries flavor. Overall Astro Burger has plenty of seating inside and outside, a variety of food to choose from, and the food was good.

Let me tell you my great experience that I had on the 1st of this month around 6:30pm. Got an excellent service/welcome by Alejandro with a nice smile. I already knew what I wanted to order, but he still gave me few of their delicious menu options. So I let him explain, and placed my own order, in my own way. I have been to this Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen years ago, when I used to work in Hollywood. Actually three times. Those were before the Yelp years. They have many different options of drinks, dessert (churros and apple pie). Also, different options of chicken. I ordered their Classic 4 piece dark meat (2 legs & 2 thighs), a small coleslaw, 2 biscuits, a small rice mixed in with beans and no drink. Stayed with my own water. The 2nd biscuit substituted for the drink. Also got some fries at the bottom of my chicken, and 2 orders on top.. in addition to my order. 1 breast and one wing. Food came out hot, crispy & fresh. It wasn't too salty, nor was it too greasy. Didn't take long for my food to come out. Literally 5 minutes. I timed it, also got 4 sauces. Restaurant was very clean, and there was another employee sweeping outside as I walked in. It wasn't even dirty. Considering all the hustle and bustle on Hollywood blvd, this Popeyes stayed the same from what I remember. Street/metered parking only, nice music was playing inside, and I will definitely return when I am in the area again! Open very late hours, since it is a place for tourists & attracts a lot of people. They just LOVE their Popeyes!! I know I DO! Prices are affordable for their portions. Thank you Popeyes, Alejandro, and management. Team work makes the dream work. People, please stop being so negative. Be happy you have something to eat!!
