I recently visited The Place 2 Be for dinner with a group, and we all left impressed. The portions were generous, and everything from the appetizer to the dessert was exceptional. The atmosphere is perfect for a casual yet special night out. Highly recommend their roasted chicken.

I used to love this place, but now it seems like they are trying to half do it to stay in business. Very sad. No ducks, no milkshakes anymore, and food was incredibly greasy. Makes me sad as an avid fan
November 2025
In town for meetings, myself and my business partner were looking for a place to eat. We stumbled upon this great spot and Jonathan was awesome!! Price was unbelievable for two people, wish prices were this great back in LA
