Chili cheese fries
Katelynn R.

Came here to cure our hangovers and it was a great choice. Hamburgers were made fresh and very juicy. The fries are soooo good! Especially with their ranch! Service was attentive and pleasant as always. Inside was beautiful and they had the windows open so it was nice to feel the fresh breeze.

We really liked visiting this café. Their food was very good and they have a very wide range of options on their menu. They serve beer and wine and smoothies. Location is great close to the water can see the lighthouse from the street. Service was good and the inside was very clean and nice. Was pricey tho

We sat outside on a neighborhood street with a view of the lighthouse in the distance-well you could see it from the middle of the street. The Lobster Benedict and the Carnitas Omelette specials were delicious but the accompanying country style potatoes were not soft or well seasoned. Great friendly service!

Club Sandwich
Karina G.

This place never disappoints. Beautiful day out and so really wanted to eat here after work (2pm) Delicious eggs Benedict Florentine style and good homestyle potatoes. Love that they have flavored creamer for coffee, some restaurants really don't?!!! My friend had a club Sandwich and we both had some leftovers for the next day. Quality of food is great and eventhough we arrived close to 230 pm (when they close at 3pm), service was still great, didn't rush us. And you can always do alil walk towards the beautiful view after breakfast or lunch :)

Amazing . Such a gem of a place. It's located in a residential area in San Pedro. This place is the light to brunch/breakfast places. We wanted to go to our pancake and omelette restaurant today but it was super packed so we diverged and checked this place out. The quality of food was amazing the service was amazing and Ernesto our server was fantastic. He handled so much food and different orders when it was a packed house. Cheers to him and this great place. Can't wait to come back again. Ps the potatoe pancakes were delish

Excellent breakfast selections. Food was delicious, priced decently, and everything was warm to got when it came out. We ordered the California omelette, side order of bacon, and a side order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was great and the service was fantastic. In my picture, that is not the whole side order of bacon, we had already eaten half of it.

Not only do they have all the sandwiches that you could be craving, but they have an extensive breakfast menu served all day (breakfast burrito is my go to at all hours of the day), multiple salads (Cobb salad is bomb), tacos, dogs, and burgers all served in different ways to satisfy that craving you've had for days. There is this one incident that really hits home with me several years back. On my way to work, I work nights, I ordered via Yelp as always, and as I'm pulling up the shop, I realize I don't have my wallet. @#%$!! I'm friggen hungry, I look at my watch, I don't have time to go back home and get my wallet and still make it to work on time. I decide to walk in and tell them that I'm sorry to have ordered what I did and not have the means to pay for it. I'm thinking, what a waste of food! So, I walk in and I tell the owner what happened and that I apologize. Before I can walk out he says, "Hey, that's ok. I recognize you and things happen. Go ahead and take it and get me next time." Wow! Amazing! NO ONE DOES THAT ANYMORE! Now I'm not saying these guys are going to give you free food, but I will say they have HEART. A lot of establishes have lost heart, but they have it! So that's my feel good story for the year. Enjoy that bomb sandwich land tell 'em Sarge from down at the docks sent ya!

Wow. I can't believe their rating is so low! It was a great sandwich! And a great experience. I…read moreordered over the phone, and the lady was efficient and pleasant. When I got there, my sandwich was ready, and it was easy to pick up. How fortunate are we that there are some incredible options for sandwiches in this area. BB, Pirozzi's and Saloon. To me, the best of the bunch is Pirozzi's. This sandwich was expensive. I think $19.95 for a large. At the old pricing, I would never go back to Jersey Mike's because the Saloon is better but being so expensive, it's a consideration now. So, I have a new rating system......I will write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

He was happy and excited ! Which made me happy and excited !!!! (Customer service is the key) ... he served me a HUGE delicious sandwich !!!! Guys the bread alone was worth it !!!! Whatever the price was IT WAS WORTH IT... I must point out that for such a great sandwich I'm pretty sure the Au Jus was just regular ol chicken broth (let's work on that) lol Anyways I enjoyed the sandwich, did some work before I needed a pick me up ! So this time instead of relying on the cashier since he didn't help with the matcha, I researched and went for the MIDSOMMAR LATE !!!! YOOOOOOOOO! I love when I take a first sip or bite of something and it's literally unbelievable !!!! This drink has to be top 3 for me ! And I literally travel for a good drink lol!!!! Overall I loved it! It started off rocky with a lack of customer service Which I'm a strong believer that customer service and my taste buds are connected hahaha so maybe work on that in the beginning. And if you're not into pushing matcha than just take it off the menu. I can't be a hater and not give credit to the food and drinks !!! Overall I like it, if you're a local this shop is definitely NOT local friendly vibes, more like "transplant local" vibe 8/10...could've been higher I might've just came at a wrong time. I want to make it very clear ! That even though bro started off a bit "bland" his energy picked up as time went by, deff not bashing him just being honest.

The cafe is incredibly cute and cozy--it has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to sit, relax, and actually enjoy your meal instead of rushing out. The food is where they really shine. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made. The portions are just right and not overly heavy, but still satisfying. The nuoc mam wings are hands down one of my favs. They're crispy, well seasoned, and honestly a must try. The pho is another highlight, especially the broth. It's rich, clean, and full of depth without being greasy, which is hard to find. If it's your first time trying pho, you gotta eat it there. Their grilled meats are especially impressive, you can really taste that perfect char. The egg rolls are crispy and flavorful, and the vermicelli plates are fresh, balanced, and super satisfying. Their bánh mì sandwiches are absolutely delicious too. Let's not forget their Vietnamese coffee and other refreshing drinks. Another win for me is that it's a great spot for families. Very kid-friendly and comfortable, which makes it easy to come back again and again.

We got our food promptly and headed home. The location was clean and inviting! When we finally were able to get into the food, we were not disappointed! The portions were generous and the flavors great! Especially for the prices! We got a side Caesar, which is large enough for two to share as a starter, a kid's penne with marinara and chicken, and two chicken pesto paninis. I forgot to order mine without tomatoes, but they were easy enough to take off, and I don't mind the residual flavor in this kind of sandwich. The chicken was generous in all three dishes, and had nice flavor! The marinara was just that, marinara, but a still was decent for "fast food." Also, their Caesar dressing is more of a vinaigrette than a traditional thicker Caesar dressing, nice and light and super flavorful! All in all, this was a great experience! Looking forward to trying their pepperoni, it is the kind where the edges curl up and they become the little cups of crunchy oily goodness! Try this place out! Just remember they close at 8 every day but Fridays and Saturdays!

I finally swung by Chori-Man after hearing everyone rave about their house-made chorizo, and…read morehonestly, the hype is real. I'm a bit of a chilaquiles snob, but these are easily some of the best I've had in town. The chips actually held their crunch even with all that sauce, which is a rare find. I got mine with their maple habanero chorizo--the perfect balance of sweet and kick. It's a small, local spot, but the flavor they're pushing out of that kitchen is massive. The Breakdown: * Quality: You can tell the chorizo is artisan. It doesn't have that greasy, heavy feeling of the mass-produced stuff. * The Sauce: Perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, just purely flavorful. * Service: Super chill and friendly. It feels like a neighborhood staple because it is. Pro-Tip: Parking can be a bit of a hunt right there on 9th, so just be prepared to walk a block. Also, grab a pound of the loose chorizo to take home for breakfast the next day--you'll thank yourself later.

Atmosphere: This spot offers convenient pull-up service with a few outdoor seating options, making it a casual and easy stop for breakfast. Price: My meal cost $17, which is about average for Los Angeles. Overall: I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
