    Here's Nickie making sure the dood's right

    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.

    "Chicken club sandwich"

    I asked for a chicken club sandwich and this is what they gave me. 8 out of 10 time they get your order wrong or there's hair in your food. I'm never coming back to this rat hole again. They have a really old drive through speaker system where you have to yell into and repeat the order a few times. The burgers are good but make sure they get your order right.

Echoing what everyone else has been saying - the service is SO slow. It was about 45 minutes before we were able to order our second drink and our water glasses were empty. They have so many runners bringing the drinks out but only a few servers and, from the looks of it, one bartender (on a Saturday night - what?!). The server was saying he was trying to find a manager to help out but they were nowhere to be found. Clearly management is fine with these service times since they're still making $$$. The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation. I would come back, but need some time for my wallet to recover first, haha!

I always wanted to keep giving them a chance because it's not like we have a lot of similar options locally, but this was the last straw for me. The quality doesn't even come close to justifying the price. I could get teenagers to whip me up any crazy drink within minutes at Starbucks, but the simplest order here requires that I've got nothing else going on in my day. And don't get me started on ordering food here. Let's just say last time it was a similar story but no coffee, just a lemon square... that was already made. Also, one of their young male employees seemed to be on break and used the female restroom when the male restroom was free. Just a little strange there. Cute ambience and I like the paintings from local artists they have up, but it isn't a place I'd recommend to anyone. The workers are mostly smiles and friendly demeanors, I just wish they'd be more efficient and thoughtful.

Because there is a seafood restaurant across the street from Basin 141, I always thought to stick to the excellent dishes I've tried before. However, the description of the Shrimp in the menu made me want to try it. I made the decision and was I delighted. Sautéed Garlic Shrimp in a white wine cream sauce accompanied by perfect al dente spaghetti, tomato and basil with shredded Parmesan and French baguettes. A perfect combination that should be entered in a culinary contest, it was that good. Elliott was the wonderful server who paid great attention to us and while one of our favorite waitresses, Paige has moved on, there is another Paige who was wonderful to us. As Basin 141 turns to another Paige (sorry, I had to), we are as well and are seriously looking to move to Montrose as it's a wonderful town and with this restaurant in the same area, we could become frequent flyers. It may be best known as a bar because of their incredible selections, but this wonderful establishment is a fantastic restaurant with out door seating.

Don't forget your wallet, as you're in the hundo range, per person, once that crisp napkin is placed in your lap. Worth it? Yes!

From the host/hostess stand to the servers to the runners, everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Valet and tons of street parking adjacent if you're not in heels. It's a steak house at its core, but do not sleep on the salmon -- super delicious and you're getting the omega-3 fatty acids for healthmaxxing. Robbie B tip: the happy hour. Reduced price wine glasses and small bites (but actually pretty big portions) of fancy bar food. Sliders, fries, mini lamb chops; it's a whole meal in there. Perfect place to quit your job and celebrate.

They also love the chicken fingers, the fries are phenomenal and the chocolate lava cake is a must. As for my husband and I, he says the French dip sandwich is the best he's had in his life. And he is a French dip connoisseur! He's tried all the regular L.A staples--Philippe's, Cole's, etc.... But he says nothing compares to The Proper. Their burger is also wonderful. I've also had several of their fish dishes and have enjoyed them all. And you must try the warm butter cake. I'm normally a chocolate lover, but I dream about the butter cake from The Proper.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience, but we ultimately left feeling that the prices just didn't match the overall value. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere. The décor is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel much more inviting than you might expect from a restaurant located in a strip mall. It has a comfortable, upscale vibe that makes for a nice dinner setting. The only downside was that we were seated directly underneath an air conditioning vent, which made it uncomfortably cold throughout our meal. For dinner, I ordered the short rib sandwich, and my wife had the three-taco plate, which included chips and tortilla soup. We didn't order any appetizers, desserts, or alcoholic beverages--just our entrées. After tax and tip, our total came to over $80. I completely understand that restaurant prices have increased over the past few years, and I'm willing to pay more for a great meal and experience. However, this felt like pricing I'd expect from a high-end standalone restaurant rather than a casual neighborhood spot. To be fair, the food was good. Everything was well prepared, flavorful, and enjoyable. I don't think the issue is the quality of the food--it's simply the value. While we enjoyed our meal, nothing stood out enough to justify the premium pricing, especially considering there are many other restaurants nearby offering similar quality at a lower price point. I'm glad we gave it a try, and I can see why people enjoy the ambiance and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the overall value just wasn't there for us, and because of that, I don't think we'll be returning.
