We tasted cider here a few years ago during the Wine Walk, enjoyed it and wanted to come back to…read morecelebrate a few things with a fun flight! Their online cider menu was enticing. Upon entering, the space seemed smaller, but that's OK. No one at the bar, but a girl jumped and came over (didn't get if she worked there) to ask us if we came for Trivia night (Big No, not a fan) and was almost annoyed with us that we didn't. Had to wait because the bartender was overworked and carrying things. Maybe more people working here? He was nice, but had no to time to chit-chat about ciders. Their selection was very small, not reflecting their online menu (pomegranate, peach, etc). They had only 4 ciders, one was apple, not that exciting. I tried a sample of ginger/lemongrass because I don't like ginger, but it was pleasant, more like lemongrass, light and citrusy. Got the flight, we tried to enjoy it on their patio which is nice. The music they're playing is good, but interrupted with trivia announcements. That shouldn't take over the whole space. The ciders were decent, least favorite was the apple. The citrus one was nice. Loved the berry one. Got HH prices, which was good since this wasn't the best tasting experience, not as relaxing and laid back as we hoped for. Their water container is difficult to use! I wouldn't come back due to this experience even if they serve food as well. Thursday trivia takes over too much and the cider selection is too minimal. I thought Ciderworks is all about ciders, right?

We ordered the hamburger combo with fries and a Coke, and everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious.

The quality of the food has stayed consistent over the years, which is something that's hard to find these days.the service was amazing as well. If you're looking for a simple, fresh, and satisfying burger, I definitely recommend giving Jack's Classic Burgers a try. We'll definitely be back!

The man at the window was really nice. Even though they had a few tables to sit at outside we decide to take our food home. Luckily we live down the road so our burgers were still nice and hot. Meat was cooked perfectly and cheese melted and running down the side. The veggies were juice and crisp. The fries were nice and crispy just how I like them. They even asked if we wanted seasoning salt on our fries which I'm glad I said yes!! I will definitely be back again.

It's also a few blocks from the Universal subway station and the bus stops nearby. We walked and in it was awesome. Very relaxed bar with a rock and roll edge. There were regulars sitting at the bar. The bartender welcomed us and let us know we could sit anywhere we liked. We chose the elevated lounge area that was decorated with reddish velvet like wallpaper, comfy red booths, a few two person tables and a view of Lankershim Boulevard. The bartender was also our waitress. We ordered our happy hour drinks: Spicy Margarita and 805 beer. But we had to have the big nachos with chicken on the main menu. The nachos was amazing. The chips were strong enough to hold all of the delicious cheese, guacamole, chicken, and sauce. I'll definitely come back!

Don't forget your ID in the car as they will check your ID at the door. Upon entering, the atmosphere is happy, laid back, and joyous, with options for sitting at the bar, sitting in booths, or sitting in tables with chairs. Ordering is so fun, you can either walk up to the bar and place an order, or you can scan the QR code located at your table (and all are specifically numbered so they know which table ordered) and then the drinks or food magically appears a few minutes later! I love this setup and it seems to make the time between ordering and receipt of drinks really fast, seems faster than it would be if everyone lined up at the bar! I loved it. My friend ordered the Fried pickles which were SO GOOD I gluttonously ate almost all of them. Sorrynotsorry. Karaoke was off the hook, so many amazing singers, and everyone so supportive and happy to sing along with every single type of song and style. I saw online there is Trivia night on Tuesdays, and sometimes there are other special events, I would love to come back and attend and experience these. Definitely an awesome and cool bar and I can't wait to come back with friends!

I did not want to write this…read more Because I understand that opening and running a restaurant is a very daunting endeavor. It is VERY difficult to create a well oiled machine. A successful restaurant. My purpose on writing this is that everyone running the restaurant see this specific day from an outsiders eyes, and hopefully make the proper adjustments to become what every successful restaurant aims to be. We live close by. Walk by it often. Hopefully the kitchen staff doesn't wait for us after this with a pot of boiling water. My wife and I are foodies. I use the word because it's the word that properly describes those who love great food, and seek it wherever it may be. I'm not trying to be cool. I'm just telling you all we love a great dish. We had very close friends come a visit. We had the whole day planed. "... and we could go to this new pub they opened close by. Supposedly the food is great." We called to make sure that it was open and to see if we could make a reservation. This tells you whoever is calling is very interested on coming to you. You have been chosen for that day. They told us it was "trivia night and it is very busy". "If you can find where to seat..." We decided to go and try our luck. After our plans for the day we head there. We took an Uber for what was about a block walk because it was raining and North Hollywood turns into Atlantis when it rains. We get there and, as we were told, it was trivia night. The place was not "to capacity". There were some tables available. So we sat down. You will order through a QR Code. A bit complicated, I would say, knowing that one goes to a restaurant to be served. QR's were ok through Covid. But Covid is well and gone. This just seems lazy and I would Imagine it creates a bunch of problems for the kitchen staff. As I point an example. We all started placing our orders. An employee, which I am not really sure what her job was, as I will explain here, tells us that "we are very sorry. Just letting you know we do not have any burgers". "I will bring you all waters." The water never came. Eventually my buddy got up and got us all waters. If you are there to let us know this, and to bring us our food (as she did later on), why can't you take our order? Just a thought. We went there for the burgers. I had an incline to leave. But my wife said we should "try the food... maybe everything is good." We all restart our orders. Two couples. Ordered pretty much the exact thing. 4 beers. 2 pork Sandwiches. 2 chicken sandwiches. 2 pretzels. Loaded fries. 1 Mexican coke. We get the drinks. No explanation. I was almost certain I had ordered a dark beer. But... what do I know? ‍ A few minutes later comes MY beer. "Oh you didn't order this one? They must've poured it extra". Some may say "hey man, you got a free beer". I did not want free food (or drinks*). I wanted great food. And proper service. We waited about 50 minutes. By a timer, I placed once I realized this was all taking too long. Through the course of this wait I noticed other tables were getting burgers. Some tables got there after us. "Maybe someone went and got ground beef at the supermarket". If this was the case, nobody told us. The food starts trickling down, with a very vague apology. "The kitchen is slammed today". I've worked slammed kitchens. I understand this fully. But even through a hectic service, it is our duty as cooks to make sure that the food that comes out is the absolute best. Especially through longs waits, and letting diners know you are short on items. Items they specifically came to try. The fries, which were the best thing we got, tasted like Target loaded fries. Which is not too bad. The "pork sandwich" had about 3 ounces of meet inside of it, it was drenched in sauce, and left a super weird aftertaste. Almost chemical. The chicken sandwich was flavorless. The pretzels were ok. You are asked to tip in advance. We tipped the QR code the proper percentage. Proper for great food and good service. We got neither. I would imagine that this would be a very painful read to whoever owns this place. I can assure you that it was as painful to is receiving it. The beers are not bad. But after all of these, how would YOU rate this experience? Would you ever go back? I wouldn't presume to "know better than you do". I am sure you guys have a business plan that you went over hundreds of times before opening your doors. I just think it's worth reading reviews like this one. And maybe adjusting a few things. Best of luck to you all.

Came…read morefor lunch on a Saturday and went for the mushroom sandwich (I wanted an Impossible Burger, but Impossible burgers are not on offer here--I'm not a fan of house-made veggie patties, and I never will be). The mushroom sandwich was phenomenal, as were the fries and dipping sauce. I paired it with the blonde ale--ended up having two--and it felt like brew-pub heaven. A couple knocks come from the ordering at the table using a QR code with my phone. I hate this--it was a pain and took forever. Don't make guests spend time sifting through long menus to place an order for four people, then ask for a full tip for the wait staff at the end. I was the one doing the work, and I want to spend my visit relaxing, not battling an app. Plus, we still needed the wait staff for questions (they were very nice), so it would have been better to just have them take our order and be done with it. Really this is a three-star review, but I want to return someday, so I'm being aspirational by giving another star in hopes the ordering gets better. Great food, outstanding beer, friendly staff, awesome decor--just a very lame ordering system.
