“I ordered the Pastrami Sandwich to go. The Pastrami Sandwich was amazing, tender and not really fatty, thinly sliced and so juicy. The sandwich came with a generous portion of potato salad that has a sweet mustard taste that is light and not too heavy. A pickle completes the meal that has a nice crunch. I really enjoyed my lunch here and will be coming back again.“

“This location has gone under numerous names and owners over the years but this incarnation is the best so far. Great beer options, well stocked bar, and a very good kitchen are all available to the visitor. I came by for lunch and ordered the cheese steak sandwich. It was AMAZING. They use truffle cheese, great bread, and the whole thing was delicious. Small pickle slice and pickled veggie garnish was a great touch. Service is solid and the place was not very crowded at noontime. Lots of live music and other stuff going on at night too.“

“Ambiance: nice pub feel, way bigger than I expected. I opted to sit at the bar, which was cozy but not suffocating. Couple of tvs to catch the game on.Service: it was a group effort. I didn't consistently have one person, but they were all very kind. I could only get drink suggestions outta one person, but overall, I had no issue.Food: I had been craving a Buffalo chicken sandwich for a bit, so maybe my expectations were a bit high, but this sandwich just missed the mark. It kept falling apart. Wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't order it again. I am obsessed with their ranch and fries though, not sure if they make it in-house, but I am a fan!“

“A really delicious diner in old town Torrance. It’s located on a tree lined street and has many outdoor tables so this is the sort of place that is an easy option to sit outside or in. Today I brought my dog so the outdoor seating really came in handy. We were able to find a parking space right out front and there were a ton of other free parking spots next to us as well. Our server was really polite and fast and we were serviced immediately after sitting down. They have a very large menu filled with all sorts of diner classics, so it was hard to choose what I wanted this morning. Everything is very fair pricewise and the portions are also very hearty.I started off with a cup of coffee, per usual, and it was very tasty and strong. For my meal I chose the Marinated Steak and Eggs because I read a lot of positive reviews about it. I can confirm that it is indeed very good. The steak is very tender and seasoned well and comes in a very large sized portion. I was not a fan of the hashbrowns, as they are more of a potato cake , but aside from that everything else was really good.I would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a solid breakfast option in Torrance. I plan to be back in the future next time I am down in the area.“

We had the beets and the fig NY steak which was cooked to the temperature we asked. Our only critique was that the homemade ice cream was a little too icy as if it may have had freezer burn. The presentation on everything was beautiful. We will come back again with friends.“

“This place was awesome. We were visiting the area and decided to stop in for lunch. We had tried to stop in on Saturday but it was packed. So, we on Monday afternoon to take a break from checking out used bookstores. There was only one other table occupied. Our waiter was being trained by another server and they were both great. The atmosphere was cozy, and the food was fantastic. My son said he wished we had one where we're from. I agreed. Definitely glad we stopped in.Dietary restrictions: They are gluten friendly. Be careful if you're gluten sensitive and can handle small amounts of cross contamination. I'm gluten sensitive due to auto-immune disease but I am generally okay with things in a shared fryer. I ordered the fries. Thankfully, our server informed us they toss their fries in flour before frying. That I cannot do. Burgers and sandwiches can be served on gluten free buns.“

“Good place to have breakfast with ample seating. My party of 6 ordered and food was out in around 15 minutes. The servers do an excellent job coming around refilling coffees and drinks, which is super nice. My Popeye omelette was delicious; it was generously loaded with spinach, mushrooms, and onions. I didn't particularly love the way the cheese was slathered on top of the omelette (wish it was inside), but it was still delicious. The hash browns were scrumptious as well.“

“Ive been here twice. A small hole in the wall ice cream place. I love ordering their strawberry or triple berry malted mille shakes. I tried the peach but the taste of peach is just a hint and I dont feel like it goes well with the malted taste. My friend got their ice cream. It is a nice place to stop by on a hot day. Perfect for this weekend as the temps start to rise again. The line isnt long and there's usually 2 ladies working inside. So they usually take 2-3 orders at a time and make the orders before helping the next few customers. First time my friend took me was at night so there was no line. Second time I went with family and more people started to stop by as we were looking at the menu trying to decide what to get. If you look at the small building it looks like it's been here for decades. Definitely would come back here again on a hot day for another ice cream.“

“I had a work e ent in Torrance and wanted to grab breakfast burritos for the team. I found this spot. Wow. First, the service could not have been better and kinder. I ordered 5 breakfast burritos and watched them be made from scratch by the awesome chef. We got 3 bacon and 2 sausage. They were a huge hit. The ingredients were fresh and incredibly tasty. The only thing better was the fresh scratch salsa that went with the burritos. The shop is located on the outside of an office building. It has a great chill vibe to grab all sorts of goodness. When I'm in the South Bay, I'll be a yummy.“
