great sandwiches we ordered the french dip and bordeaux which were amazing!! the bordeaux was my favorite out of the two it had more freshness from the lettuce which i tend to enjoy more in sandwiches and i loved the goat cheese that came w it. it's not as common of a cheese to put in sandwiches but it really should be it just added such a nice flavor to the chicken and paired so well!! the sides were also good i found the salad to be a little vinegary for my taste. the potato chips were so crispy i dipped them in the sauce that came with the french dip and it was super tasty! the woman that served us was also super sweet she came to check in on us to see if we needed anything after giving us our food! since this place is not really a sit down restaurant i like that we had our food brought to us after ordering it's super thoughtful! great place i would definitely come back!

I've only ever gotten this delivered or picked up, but it a quick stop in place to grab a bite. I love the Buenos Aires sandwich and their homemade potato chips. Don't love the fries, but that a personal preference.

I've passed by this place many times and finally took the opportunity to try it. I wasn't disappointed. I was greeted immediately upon coming in. I had placed my order over the phone so it would be ready weighing arrived. For my first time I went with the double smash burger with fries. I had pickles added. The meat was deliciously flavorful and the bread had a sweet touch that I loved. Tree he fries were skinner than I expected based on the pictures online. They were also smaller pieces than I desired. They were good nonetheless. All in all nice restaurant. Seating is offered inside. Free parking is available in the back and the service was very welcoming. I look forward to going back and trying something else next time.

The food, the service, even the presentation is just excellent! There's also enough variety for whatever you're in the mood for! If you want something harder, they've got you covered if you want something light but tasty, perfect place as well!

Delicious sandwich by far. The ingredients and taste were superb! Very friendly staff and chef. First time here. Restaurant looks new but not very pretty/clean, kinda weird they should deep clean the walls + tables, also upgrade bathroom. If we are paying almost $20 for a sandwich the ambiance should match. Either way the fires were good! But definitely pass on the lemonade was very nasty.

i've ordered the chicken caesar sandwich from here three times through ubereats and it's great. i love the layers of flavors, perfect portions of ingredients and yummy thin + crunchy seasoned fries. i'd like to try more of their menu, but they have been so consistent with the quality that it's guaranteed i'll be satisfied. i haven't yet visited but they are timely and always tasty.

The food, service, ambiance and parking were all 5/5! Will definitely be coming back. I enjoyed that they had other options for fountain drinks besides just being sodas. I for one, don't really care for sodas. They had black and green iced tea and lemonade and pink lemonade. They also sell cold brews-vanilla and mocha. The gentleman working at the register was super friendly and the cooks were all so fast and efficient. There is plenty of parking in the back. There's only one restroom stall but they keep it clean. There's plenty of seating inside or outside. Came here after a nice hike up at Topanga scenic view. Next time you're around the area you should stop by for fresh hot or cold sandwiches and everything is always made fresh.
