“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Thank you so much for providing that surveillance video of the dog that was abandoned in the alley behind your business to Fox 11. Hopefully it gets the word out and those responsible are held accountable. It's nice to know there are still people out there that actually care about animals in need, thank you again.“

“Litos Cork Room (LCR) is a hidden gem in East Los Angeles, especially for Green Bay Packers fans. The welcoming vibe and unique Packers fandom create an unforgettable experience for any football fan. Drinks are very reasonably priced and bar service is quick in this tiny little Cheesehead heaven. The owners (Junior and his wife) are amazingly welcoming and generous people. Litos feels like a mini-Lambeau in ELA.Highly recommend!?? ?? GoPackGo“

“This is a cocktail bar but don't be fooled. My favorite drink is the duck fat hibiki, it's absolutely amazing. It blew every other cocktail out of the water. It might cost more and it might not look the prettiest but trust me it is delicious. They are going to discontinue it due to lack of people ordering but don't just go for the trendy or Instagram worthy drinks, it might just be a regular looking old fashion but it might just be the best old fashion I've ever had.“

“Fun bar. Great drinks and great prices. I read comments that some people think it’s a racist bar, believe me, it isn’t. All are welcome. No predujices here.“

“This is the spot if you need a good, cold drink & a chill, old school vibe. I don’t like bars that have windows & Poor Denny’s is old school in that regard. Ever since Ember’s Lounge closed down, this has been my spot. It’s cash only, but there’s a ATM machine there. I love the digital jukebox that allows you to play all kinds of music. The bartenders are always nice & they have wonderful hands on the pours. ? Good vibes & mellow times here.“

“Great music!!!! Great hang!!!!“

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“I was a doorman to one of the Main Street bars, and customers would always tell me to go checkout Jay Dee's. So I finally did after 2 years. It's a cool place to hang out and have a drink. Drinks are reasonable, and it's a cash only bar. Customers are friendly too, & no haters. Has pool tables and darts. No, dj, but they have a jukebox playing cool music. Bartenders are friendly and treat everyone like family. I would go back 😊👍🍻🥂“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Our waitress Genevieve was extremely nice and knowledgeable!! Great ambiance! Food n drinks! Definitely coming back !“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“Endroit hyper typique ! Bonne musique, cocktails d’un excellent niveau et à un prix tout à fait honnête, tous les classiques sont dispo et le barman tient la corde niveau cordes vocales !! Excellente carte de dîner ! Nous n’avons pas testé le grill … seul regret de la soirée. Il faut qu’on y retourne, absolument“

“The lounge is conveniently located within Hilton San Gabriel. It was spacious and comfortable. The staff were inviting, friendly and extremely efficient. They took wonderful care of us. For lunch we ordered: clam chowder, Caesar salad, beef taquitos with guacamole dip and Parma ham and mozzarella flat bread. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned and delicious. My only two suggestions would be to serve crackers with the soup and maybe change the flatbread sauce to a marinara. I had an old fashioned with my meal which I really enjoyed. The drink was well balanced.The lounge is a non tipping restaurant. It’s odd I know, at least for me it is. The tip was already added to the final bill and we paid approximately 65+“

“Love this place. We had Thanksgiving dinner here, with a special menu, so weren't able to sample the regular selection as much. But if crab cakes are part of the regular menu: they are amazing. Service was also top notch. Will gladly come again if we find ourselves in the area in the future.“

“Karoeke night was Fun! They have a fancy way of scheduling their list to sing (screen recording included). The bar has a pool table, chill vibes, super friendly staff (cash only) and overall friendly patrons.Oh and Olga's Cocina food truck stopped by and their food is amazing! I didn't get a picture of the food I ate it too fast lol.“

“Haven't been here for a couple of years, as the last time we didn't enjoy the company of rats. They didn't even offer to buy in. This last time we went to a different area and the brunch was great. Truly like the croissant style cinnamon rolls and breve. We also had both types of benedicts and they were great.“

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“My wife and I had an amazing night out here. The drinks were fantastic and the vegetarian / vegan food was fantastic. Such a great atmosphere. As a vegetarian who doesn’t drink, but loves a good mocktail, I was thrilled with our experience. It was definitely the perfect date night spot. The owners were such nice people who really thought out this concept. 100% recommend for people of all diets.“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“Excellent,food. Also, the customer service was on point! Thank you“

“Good enough for Richard Pryor, good enough for me!“

“Food was good. They accommodated our large party.
Service wasn't so great. The atmosphere was nice and somewhat festive. Bathrooms need work. Too much tagging and graphite on the walls... No wait for the table because they don't do reservations so because of that we got there when it opens at 12pm...“

“This is a great place, Korean style cuisine with k- pop vibe. The food is amazing!! First time here with family. My family loved it, great place with family and friends. I definitely recommend the chap chee it amazing! There used to be plenty of parking places in the area. Just have to pay parking.“

“First and foremost! Ask for Justin to make you a drink! Let him do his thing! Amazing mixologist! I’m so happy we decided to stop here instead of the whiskey place next door! The food was like mouth porn! The atmosphere amazing! The only reason I’m taking a star off…. The bathroom was kinda cringe! You guys can’t have that amazing place and the bathroom be like a dive bar… dress it up and clean it up!“

“We enjoyed a very nice birthday celebration dinner. The service was comfortably attentive, efficient and friendly. We felt welcomed and appreciated from our arrival, throughout our visit, and as we departed. The six of us, each enjoyed our meals. Foods were nicely prepared, delicious and well presented. Cocktails, wines, coffees and desserts were enjoyed as well. Thank you so much to everyone. Especially Patrick and Jesus. We plan to return soon. Best to you all.“

“Me encanto este lugar todo muy rico y muy atentos buen servicio“

“This spot is pretty chill. I got the whiskey sour and it was only $13. The other drinks are good too. I came on a Thursday night and it was moderately filled up with people. They had karaoke and it seemed to be a popular spot in the area. It’s very dark in there which I like, and the ambiance Is good. I’d forsure come back on the weekend.“

“Food came in to our bellies real fast maybe the fact that it wasn't that busy had to do. Price is above average for BBQ and it's quality. Their garlic bread is delicious and the atmosphere not too loud. Their sauce if not that exiting but not bad as well.“

“Knight Cap has easily become a favorite for me and my family. The food and drinks are always perfect and the entire staff is super friendly. It’s a great place to just chill, have a party, done with guests, and most importantly watch sports.“

“I started dining at Twohey’s in 1977. Today’s visit was nostalgic. I had a wonderful eggs Benedict breakfast. While I didn’t order the hot fudge sundae this time, I will next time for sure. And there will be a next time for sure“

“We went in search of the @losdoradosla truck and found it parked in front of La Cuevita. We ventured in at around 6p and discovered that it was still Happy Hour. My husband ordered an Old Fashion and said it was one of the best he’s ever had. I ordered a specialty vodka drink and it was refreshing. We’re definitely going back soon with friends!“
