The place has gone so far downhill. There used to be this large menu with tons of options. That is now gone. About three months ago, a friend & I had to ask for a clean fork three times over the course of five minutes. Staff were too busy arguing or acting perplexed why a person that drops a fork would need a new one. Apparently being asked to do your job is an unreasonable request? And today? Just a few hours ago, a woman asked for food without gluten. She clearly said no gluten and that she had Celiac's . They served her gluten. The manager came over and said "I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened." I think it's clear what happened - your staff screwed up and your stupidity could have gotten someone killed, had it been that kind of allergy. The restaurant seems run by people lacking basic aptitude. They've cut much of the menu, the prices are outrageous. And nobody seems to want to do their actual job anymore. And worst of all? Someone could have been seriously hurt, possibly killed. Shame on you, Hugo's. UPDATE: DM declined; there's nothing to discuss. read more

I've been a loyal Hugo's patron for almost 20 years now and I'm still not tired of it. Every since I left LA and moved to Orange County, whenever I need to meet up with someone I throw out the Studio City or West Hollywood Hugo's locations as an option for where to eat. My husband is from NJ and longs for the diners he was used to back east, but for me places like Hugo's and House of Pies are what I would long for if I moved across the country. It doesn't get more LA than Hugo's where you can get healthy food, have a dog sitting under the table next to you (indoors) and a big shot actor sitting at the table behind you. During my last visit, I had the flex hash but substituted yams and sweet potatoes in place of the rosemeary potatoes since I'm not a rosemary fan. read more

I highly recommend this place. They have so many gluten-free options, the staff are so nice. And I really enjoyed the ambience. Both times I stayed and chatted with people for a long time. I will definitely be making this a part of the regular brunch rounds. read more

Came in for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by the short wait and great service. Our server was super helpful with our requests and had some good recommendations. The green chilaquiles were amazing and my friend loved the breakfast burrito. I'll definitely be back. read more

Hugo's is an underrated gem in the city that has every meal you could ever think of in its menu! I love that the food here is consistently delicious, filling portions while being relatively healthy and its vegan friendly. My favorites are the Turkey Meatballs and Spaghetti and the Salmon dish. I would describe their food as a regular American cafe that's perfect for a weekday lunch/dinner. read more

One of my favorite places to have breakfast in West Hollywood! Legendary for its healthy and delicious food...and great juices. It's so nice and cozy inside. They also have such a nice little terrace outside. If you love great pasta, and love eggs for breakfast, you have to try their 'pasta mama' or the 'pasta papa'. Classic breakfast dishes they have been serving for at least 35 years. Perfectly al dente spaghetti tossed with scrambled eggs, Parmesan cheese, and scallions. The pasta papa also has bacon and turkey sausage. It's so delicious for breakfast. The service here is always excellent. I ordered a fresh ginger lemonade and they even gave me an extra lemonade to go. Free parking in their lot just behind the restaurant. Enter on Kings Road just north of Santa Monica Blvd. Another nice thing about this restaurant is you can earn airline miles and points so don't forget to add your credit card to your favorite Airline or Hotel Miles dining program! Hugo's is also on the Resy network for reservations so if you have an American Express Gold or Platinum card, you also get that credit here. read more

Solid brunch place with vegan/vegetarian options for those friends! I tried their avocado toast and it was fine. Nothing especial but not bad. Their toast has a arepa feel to it. Parking available in the back which is a plus in weho! Parking garage available next door as well. read more

$30 for a veggie burger? I've been coming here for years. I've watched Sarah and Kim grow into young professionals. I remember the warm rolls, butter, and jam, and when a veggie burger with fries cost $12. I'm not expecting yesterday's prices. I understand inflation. But there's a difference between raising prices and nickel-and-diming loyal customers. Now it's another dollar for EACH add-on that used to be included. Cheese? Extra. Toppings? Extra. Dipping sauce? Extra. Want the same burger you've always ordered? Apparently, that's extra too. And the little notice explaining the changes? Pretty weak. What used to be a $20 meal is now pushing $30. That's 50% more for essentially the same meal. Here's the thing: the veggie burger was never extraordinary. It didn't need to be. You came for the familiar faces, good service, and comfort of a neighborhood spot. At some point, you stop feeling like a valued regular and start feeling like an opportunity for another upcharge. I didn't keep coming back for the best veggie burger in town. I came back because this felt like my neighborhood restaurant. And that's the real disappointment. It's not just that the meal costs more. It's that the experience feels worth less. read more

Total throwback and a place that just makes you happy. Went for a later supper and great to find easy parking in the back and though we made a reses there was plenty of seating available so no problem. Started off with the Hugo's fresh green tea served in a French Press and it was perfect for a cold December night and then had went for a taste of nostalgia with the turkey meatloaf dinner. Couple of thick cuts of meatloaf served with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed veggies and subtle mushroom gravy to make it a real party. Well seasoned and went down easy, but just enough to not want to have any dessert which I was hoping for but have to do it next time. Great service and very quick from seating to paying the bill. Full bar and a lot of interesting décor so a return visit is in the future. read more

Hugo's in West Hollywood has been around for a very long time. And one thing is consistent with this restaurant; really good food with quality ingredients. I've not been here since before the pandemic, and Hugo's is still providing great meals to large crowds. I'm here this morning with nine other friends on a Saturday late morning. The place is busy, but they were able to accommodate us in under five minutes. Talk about great timing. We were promptly seated and offered menus and water. Myself, along with a friend, each ordered the Protein Scramble. See picture of menu for descriptions. The portions were large and arrived very hot. Perfect. We both enjoyed our breakfast. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and delicious. I had toast with my scramble and my friend paid $3 extra for a single Pumpkin Pancake. Another friend next to me had the Scrambled Egg Sandwich with fries. He said it was okay and didn't really elaborate why it was just "okay." It looked good, but missing some type of protein; perhaps bacon. Another friend had the Pasta Papa. A large portion of food and he said it tasted great and fresh. It was so much food that he took the remainder to go. Other meals at the table were a hamburger, two breakfast burritos, and a Create-Your-Own-Scramble. I heard no complaints from anyone regarding their meals. The service was very good considering we were a party of ten. Katia was very friendly, personable, and attentive. It was great she could process separate checks among us. Hugo's is consistent and always a great experience. There is a small outdoor patio and a large indoor dining room. There is street parking or in the parking garage across the street. read more

Had breakfast this week at Hugo's. Katie was our server. The service was friendly and the food was good but not great. My wife and daughter split a scrambler and the chocolate chip pancakes and enjoyed them. I had the hash and wished I got something else. I did not care for it. My youngest daughter had the avocado toast and just thought it was ok. read more

Love this place, food, drinks, service, but they recently cut their happy hour food selection to less than half, I'm so sad. Food costs are up, so it's hard to blame any restaurant for cost-cutting where they can ...fuel costs are so high. I'll still keep coming back though! Drinks are a good deal. read more

Hmmm, I have mixed feelings about this place--maybe because I ordered takeout instead of dining in. I got a sandwich on sourdough and wasn't a huge fan; it was pretty bland and lacked flavor. I also tried a protein smoothie, which was just okay but tasted a bit watered down. Overall, nothing really stood out to me, and I'm not sure I'd come back or recommend it. read more

We really enjoyed ourselves here! Came around 12 pm on a Saturday and it was pretty full! We got the last table on the patio (which is dog friendly btw) and I think the inside had a bit of a wait. Our server Matt was super nice and prompt. The menu is super friendly for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten intolerant folks. Like so many options. I got a vegan Reuben with their homemade gluten free rye bread and house made vegan salami. It was really good!! but it was $22...my partner's vegan breakfast sandwich was good but he said it was def not the best he has had and it was pricier than most. I think that just comes with the territory of eating in WeHo. So that's where the one star is lost. Otherwise it's a nice place to hang out, think loud pop music vibes. The happy hour looks super good!! read more

Graving some gluten free pancakes. Unfortunately pretty dense here. They have many great items. This isn't one of them. The organic syrup is good just need something else to put it on. Breakfast burrito was a hit. We also went back for dinner last week and had chicken strips and the Cuban sandwich. Fries are delicious but if you're not vegan bring your own ranch. The one they serve tastes like pure mayonnaise. **** staff is fabulous, friendly and knowledgeable read more

I love Hugo's! I came alone this time because I was working nearby and their happy hour is literally the best!!!! They have happy hour everyday from 4pm-7pm! I usually get the chicken strips with fries but today I got the nachos with chicken and I enjoyed them sooo much! I also got the Strawberry Cucumber Cooler and I loved it! I'm usually a tequila girl but my server Jordan G recommended this drink! Jordan provided amazing customer service! I love the ambience at this location, I love the decorations! Always look forward to coming back! read more

We were back in the area for our daughter's performance. We had an hour to kill so we stopped in to Hugo's. We arrived and my wife requested the patio. Patio is covered and is dog friendly. It's also the perfect spot for people watching. Water was poured and we looked over the menu. Mimosa for my wife and a French 75 for me. The mimosa is served with a split of Chandon and a tiny carafe of orange juice. It was enough for 2 drinks. The French 75 was good. We decided to just order a couple of appetizers. Asian spring rolls and chicken strips basket. The spring rolls were packed carrots lettuce cucumbers some noodles and mint. There was a peanut dipping sauce served with the dish. The roll was good but I found the peanut sauce to be too salty. The chicken strips were more like a katsu. It was a thin chicken breast, breaded and fried then cut into strips. The chicken sat on top of a bed of fries. The fries were good but both the chicken and fries were under seasoned. My main complaint was the lack of service. No small plates until we were almost done with the meal I finished my French 75 about halfway through the meal. I then proceeded to finish my water and still no server to be found. Lots of restaurants in the area so I will try other spots, next time we are in the area. read more

My first time at Hugo's in valley village The staff that we got was super attentive and helpful when it came to us asking for different things or helping us make some food choices. We had a group of 12 and was sat in the patio. Food Order: My horchata latte was so refreshing love it The chocolate chip pancakes were my favorite so fluffy and with just the right amount of sweetness! The chilaquiles were ok, for me not too much flavor I had to add a good amount of hot sauce to add a little taste. Bathrooms were pretty clean. Patio and indoor seating , parking lot available and street parking is available too. Our big group couldn't do separate checks so one person had to pay the full bill. If you are Vegan and or Gluten Free this place definitely has amazing options for you. read more

The food was delicious and the care they take to have a place for those with food allergies made it even better! I tried a little of everything because it's not often I make my way to West Hollywood. The fried pickles were so delicious that I still think about them. I also ordered their spring rolls which were phenomenal. For my main meal I ordered their burger and I was so excited to eat it that I forgot to take a picture but trust me it was so good! For dessert I had their chocolate cake and let me tell you I haven't had a gf/df chocolate cake that heavenly in years! It was wonderful! Our waiter was also great, he made sure to go over the menu and answer any questions I had concerning my food allergies. Overall Hugo's is must of you have allergies. The quality of food is top tier and the service is excellent read more

I always love stopping in at Hugo's! They have the absolute best happy hour -- drinks as low as $4 and cheap yet delicious eats, too! You can get a full meal and a cocktail or glass of wine for under $20. I especially like the gluten-free chicken tenders and the spring rolls from the happy hour menu, and their (non-alcoholic) strawberry lemonade is to die for. The teriyaki chicken bowl is also SO GOOD and big enough for two people to share. It can get busy, so I recommend making a reservation just in case. It's a Weho staple for sure! read more

After the month we have had, we are all experiencing some PTSD in Los Angeles. Having stayed inside for the past couple of weekends, shell-shocked, we had some social obligations that forced us back out into society. Where did we want to go to get that feel-good-everything-is-going-to-be-OK vibe? Hugo's. I don't know why anyone rates this less than 5 stars, honestly. I love everything about it: location (on a busy corner in Hollywood), longevity (yeah, it's OG vintage 1980), the bright, cozy, warm, fresh interior, the incredible menu (especially for a vegetarian like me), and the quality and uniqueness of every dish. I think my photos will speak for themselves. The service was top notch and friendly, the music atmosphere was somehow upbeat and calming at the same time, everything was spotless and it was the kind of place where you can let yourself breathe and relax. Believe me, we all need that. We will be back often. Oh, and, it is super family friendly. Bring the kiddoes. read more

We took my Mom there for brunch and the food, service, and drinks were A plus!! We had Eskadare as our server and she was so wonderfully pleasant, attentive, and very kind. Always had a smile on her face and always made sure we were good and had everything we needed. My husband got the turkey hash that had kale in it and it was so flavorful. My Mom and I both the create your own omelette then shared the French toast. For drinks I had the Aperol Spritz, Mom had a Mimosa, and husband had a beer and an old fashion. We would most definitely come back. I do like that the place was naturally lit and we got to sit by the window and people watch so that was fun. Really enjoyed the fried pickles for app. It was perfectly crunch and love that it was in little circles. read more

How have I been sleeping on this place for so long? 1. Any time there's parking, they get a bonus star in my book. 2. The menu is massive. There's truly something for everyone. It's very rare to find restaurants that will cater to vegans and vegetarians, but also offer regular options for those without restrictions. There were so many options for everyone in my party. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The waitstaff is very friendly. The food is good. We are already planning on coming back to try more from this extensive menu! read more

Great food and service. Only disappointing thing was the waitress asked if I wanted any ranch or BBQ sauce with my fries, so I said ranch. My food came and there was no ranch, but I didn't care that much and just used some leftover from an appetizer. Come to find out they charged me $1 for ranch that I never got. Never been to a restaurant that charges $1 for ranch. It's not a big deal, it's just a dollar, but it's those little things that make you not want to come back. The restaurant wins in the moment by making an extra dollar, but potentially loses out on hundreds from someone who might've been a loyal customer had they not been nickel and dimed. read more

The quality of the food might be great but I do not feel the customer service. I don't think I will be coming back to this establishment. Also, wish portions were way bigger for the price we're paying for the food. Peace and blessings to everyone. Have a great day. I love how they make things from scratch but patience is key and I feel they be rushing you when you ask questions especially for someone who is on a diet just to become healthier and stronger. read more

Love love love Hugo's. They are vegan friendly and can usually substitute an ingredient if needed. Their menu offers a variety of delicious options that won't hurt your wallet. I've been to Hugo's three times and the good service, quality of food, and cleanliness has been consistent. I absolutely recommend their pumpkin coconut curry, it is my favorite! The pan roasted salmon plate and butter nut squash soup, is also a winner. I get so excited to grub that I forget to take a pic but definitely worth a try. enjoy! read more
