    Here's Nickie making sure the dood's right
    DianaLee B.

    OK...This is a straight up burger joint. Owned and operated by a family. They founded other burger joints like Queens in Pacoima, so they know what they are doing. They had a rough start of it, but they are formulating a place that will serve the Tujunga community for decades. They have a decent menu-burgers, dogs, grilled or fried chicken sandwiches, Mexican (THEY NOW ROLL THEIR OWN TAQUITOS), BLT, salad et al...! Fries and rings are good What I love is that everyone involved is eager to serve and please. They added back Pineapple shakes-yummy. I've eaten here aa few times now. Loved the old fashioned goo grilled cheese on sour dough, the BLT looked a bit short on bacon, but it tasted awesome-tasty bacon, yummy tomato & fresh crunchy lettuce perfectly balanced. I stopped for fries on my way to class a couple times...they kept me waiting for 5 minutes or so...and it was SO WORTH IT- hot, perfectly salted dinner fries. They do use some typical frozen goods here like most of Queens' competition, however, they mix their own sauces like the super spicy cocktail sauce that came with the shrimp dinner my buddy ordered. He couldn't finish it was so much food. It's no In & Out, but the service is Great, they are keeping the Newly renovated store clean, and like I said- I just love good, fun and happy people...who else would you want to prepare your good???

    Ehhhh... Pastrami or uncooked bacon?

    Ehhh... Not impressed... They used old fries for my chili fries not fresh fries like they do at the Hat. Chili tasted pretty good but there wasn't enough of it :/ Pastrami burger was very weak tasting and thrown together like a mess. If you guys don't believe me look at my pictures. #BringTroysBack! However, staff was super friendly and service was fairly quick! That's why I'm rating 3 stars.

    So much mayo it fell apart! #nasty

    I wish I could give it a 2 star but I wasted 20 bucks on 2 dinners I didn't eat!! We haven't eaten here in years, I believe the last time was 2000, Hubby and I decided to take a stab at it and go in. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I ordered a club sandwich, it had so much mayo on it that the sandwich literally fell apart. all you tasted was MAYO. I took one bite and wanted to gag. Onion rings tasted OLD. Burger was just as bad, if you're a mayo fan,. have at it. Besides the food being bad A man lives behind the trash can in a tent?! Is this even legal? Do the owners of the business even care?

    I've been meaning to try this place for quite sometime, as it's been in the neighborhood forever, and I have not. They must be doing something right, I reckon. Well, it's not the roast beef sandwich. It's as if they went to their food supplier and ordered "non-perishable roast beef food product." It had no flavor, it was just a bunch of non-lethal meat on an average hoagie. It's probably not fair for me to judge them on a mediocre sandwich, but it left me no reason to go back again.

    Went to a wedding ceremony and reception at Descanso Gardens yesterday. The wedding reception…read moredinner was held at their restaurant, Farmhouse, for 35 persons. Absolutely fabulous! Wish I had thought to take more pictures starting from the start. The Started with a cocktail hour outside the bar area, including excellent plates of gourmet crudités with an especially delicious hummus (we wondered about the mystery flavor!) and ranch dressing, and separate plates of spicy salami, meltingly ripe brillat savarin cheese with grilled country bread amongst other delights such as marcona almonds, raisins, and dried apricot. Following the cocktail hour, we went in to a different outside area, which had been set up with a large U-shaped table of wood. It was rustic, but lovely.. I have taken a picture of the menu so you can see what we had. Every single item served was made with such care and intention to bring out the very best in the vegetables as well as the proteins. How could a simple green salad be so delicious? Every little tiny tomato screamed sweetness, and the dressing was sublime. Individual egetables were served with accompanying side sauces, and everybody was raving about how great they tasted. Who would've thought a simple carrot could be so great? Or a simple wedge of sweet potato with a papaya mustard sauce? Salmon cooked to perfection served on little French lentils with a dollop of butter sauce.. The best of all to me was the steak with mushrooms and a Demi- glacé sauce on the side. Wow, was that delicious! The presentation of the desserts was another high point! I was so full by that point, but of course we ate them anyway. See pictures. Whoever the chef is here, they are a person of meticulous artistry offering down-to-earth deliciousness. Free parking is always appreciated, too. I recommend this location highly for wedding receptions. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly, too.

Personally, I think this is one of the best happy hour bars around. Inside, it has a steampunk-y sensibility with rich, dark wood tones & comfy booths. Outside, there's a patio along Honolulu Avenue that's just the spot for people watching. HAPPY HOUR MENU :: - The wings are great. They're perfectly saucy, served with blue cheese or ranch. Pairs well with their Happy Hour Prickly Pear Cider (in a can for $5). - Also, there's Habiscus Cider on draft, which is also sweet and more soda pop-like. It's not on Happy Hour. $9 for a tall glass. - Potato Skins are stacked with toppings and super cheesy. We tried their house Ranch and asked for a side of Bleu Cheese. OTHER NOTABLE FAVES :: - $15 gets you 2 tacos with a side of chips. - Meatloaf Mondays - get a proper meal that sticks to your ribs + a pint for $20. - No wait for a booth. Food & drinks came out quickly. Overall, the service is great. Sorry, kids. This place is 21 and over only.

Unfortunately, our experience was the complete opposite when it came to service. We sat at the bar, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. There were at least four people working behind the bar, which made the lack of service even more puzzling. It genuinely felt like we were being ignored. Not in a "they're slammed" kind of way, there was just a really odd lack of acknowledgment throughout our entire meal. What's especially surprising is how many reviews mention great service, because that was definitely not our experience. I asked to taste a couple of different beers before deciding, which was totally fine, but after that it took forever to actually get someone's attention to order one. Once we finally got our beer, we were ready to order food, but again, no one acknowledged us. We waited patiently and eventually had to get someone's attention ourselves. We ordered the fish and chips and the pot roast French dip. The menu says the French dip comes with a choice of chips or salad, but our server never asked us which we wanted. We assumed chips were the default since the choice was never mentioned. When our food arrived, we didn't have any silverware. We asked the person who dropped off our food for some, and he seemed genuinely confused by the request. It took a while for him to bring us rolled silverware that was apparently already ready to go. We then asked about the chips with the sandwich. He went to the kitchen, came back with the ticket, told us it came with salad and that we needed to request chips, and then simply walked away. This was probably the most frustrating part because it would have been such an easy customer-service moment to handle differently. Chips aren't exactly an expensive or complicated item. A simple, "It actually comes with salad unless you request chips, but no problem I'll bring you some," would have completely changed the interaction. Instead, we were essentially told we were wrong and left it at that. After that, no one checked on us. I needed some extra malt vinegar and asked the bartender for it. He never brought it and never acknowledged the request again. What made the whole experience even stranger was that the people sitting around us seemed to be getting perfectly normal service. It just felt like we were somehow invisible. After we finished eating, our plates sat in front of us for a long time. Again, no one checked on us, asked if we wanted another drink, dessert, or anything else. I eventually had to physically push my plate toward the edge of the bar and ask for the check before we got any acknowledgment. I honestly can't remember the last time I experienced service that was this consistently odd and nonexistent. And unfortunately, the food itself wasn't anything particularly memorable either. We were genuinely looking forward to having a new neighborhood spot, so it was disappointing to leave with such a bad impression. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but based on our experience, we won't be returning.

Sat at the bar and we were greeted immediately and provided water. After a quick glance at the menu, started off with cocktails. The Mai Tai want your classic Mai Tai, and the better said they were missing an ingredient, so he did a twist on the Mai Tai. It was ok, felt it was missing a needed flavor element though. The passion fruit mojito was pretty tasty though, definitely had that mojito taste with a little passion fruit pop. For food we started with two grilled oysters and the lobster and crab cake. The grilled oysters were delicious, but how do you go wrong with anple cheese and bread crumbs texture on an oyster? The lobster and crab cake was also great, plenty of crab and lobster meat within. Exactly what you would want in this dish. For entrees we went with the dry aged New York strip and, they had a special wagyu Burger with blue cheese and truffle. The strip was aged for 18-24 days, cooked perfectly and was so tender. Just a bite you want to enjoy each time. The burger was also delicious with the truffle mixed with the blue cheese and caramelized onions. You get a little of everything in each bite, just makes your mouth happy. Overall, nice steakhouse spot in Burbank that is well with the trip. That burger was phenomenal, as was the NY strip, and that lobster and crab cake along with the oysters, delicious. The Mai Tai could be improved but they did what they could with the ingredients on hand, so that's my fault for choosing something they didn't have everything for. Definitely a nice gem in Burbank so, if you're in the area, and are hungry, go stop by and enjoy what they have to offer in an upscale space.
