This is my favorite place to go to with my husband when we are visiting family in this part of LA! Anything we order here is delicious and high quality. Our favorite is the steak though! Generous portion of both steak and sides. I love the mashed potatoes especially, and they have fresh squeezed OJ as well. The menu variety is plentiful, in my opinion, the food quality is actually better than Urth cafe, which we also dine frequently. The coffee drinks and desserts are a 10/10 too. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. Its family friendly too, with very attentive waitstaff.

I wish the meat had less fat and maybe more of the ribeye for the price, but the food was delicious.

The food is delicious! Portions are a GOOD size. It is a popular and busy spot and for good reason. Order at the counter, they bring your plate. Hardly any staff in the dining area. Took some time before we could ask for water. Everyone had leftovers to take home.

My son and I stopped by a couple of days ago and we were grossed out after we got three sets of silverware that still had food on them. Beware, check your silverware to make sure they cleaned it! Feel free to zoom in the picture. Mind you, we asked for a second set of silverware because we thought it was an honest mistake and the waitress brings back two more that were just as dirty. Disgusting!

I've enjoyed coming to this establishment for years. The food and service has always been great. Lately I have noticed that the restaurant itself is rundown and needs to be remodeled. Other than that, business is good.
