I haven't been to LA for a while but since I referenced one of their burgers as the best so far I am inclined to let everyone know the skinny, rather, the fat of it. This place is a nightmare to get in and its only really open post work hours as far as I know. The line outside can be daunting but unlike New York you can get a sweet tan if you do it shirtless. If your me, you can even pick up ladies by flexing your pectorals and whistling as they walk by. Once inside its a total mob scene, you have to seat yourself which is kind of a joke. Because they usually let you in before something opens up. So I wandered in with my friend and we started scanning tables for availability. Nothing looked like it was gonna be ready but thats ok since I had a sweet pad on the beach and boasted my own patio. So we decided on takeout. The bartender was very accomodating as I ordered one of the many delicious draughts and my date ordered wine (HAHAHAHAHA) while we waited. Seriously, if she wasn't french I would have probably left without her, never ever order wine with a blue cheese burger. You might as well order a shirley temple and put your hair in pigtails. So there are no substitutions here except the burger comes a la carte so you can get any choice of fries. They have a delicious aoli but absolutely no ketchup so don't ask(snobs). After a short wait I went home with her and we ate the burgers. They were so great. Even after spending a good 10 minutes in a box they were still perfect, the bun had not been soaked through with juice and the everything was just perfect. the sweet potato fries rocked as well! I gotta say this burger is rockin. Just the right amount of blue cheese and not an overly salted one like at Spotted Pig. And for two dollars less its a steal! I highly recommend this place for their superb burger, but everything else (decor, ambiance, service) sucks!5 out of 10 ninja stars
