He bleu cheese burger is awesome! The pastrami sandwich is tasty too, although they're a bit stingy with the pastrami . Cold slaw has hot peppers throughout. Eat at your own risk.
The Nachos El Curioso is huge! Even shared with another person, the small was a lot of food. Can't even imagine what the large is like. It could probably feed four people!
Great lunch spot thats never too crowded despite it's location. Squash blossoms and steak sandwiches stood out. They are carry the spiciest ginger ale I've ever had.
The Mac n' Cheese was the best I've had in the area. Amazing texture and taste. Haven't tried anything else on the menu, but this was a home run!
Never too busy which is great. The food is refreshingly well-made for the touristy area it's in. A little on the pricey side but worth paying the extra few bucks for a better lunch .
Burger and tacos were good. Banh mi was a touch too spicy to be enjoyable.
The burger was great and the fries were amazing. Really good food and drinks.
Can't stop thinking of the butternut squash quesadilla ! Get a chocolate chip cookie (warmed up!).
Wait staff was great. Fun was good though only cookie at dessert blew me away.
Great selection of draft beers at great prices. Don't miss half off beer during happy hour . Amazing Heirloom tomato pizza !
Big Curious Salad is pretty tasty and definitely healthier than what I normally eat!
The Empire diet cola is the best of the faux Diet Cokes I've had, worth a try.
Try the TCP Burger : honest, earnest, simple, satisfying.
Delicious bacon blue cheese burger . Get the market veggies too.
Very good choice for a fast and nice lunch . The turkey sandwich is great!
Did they recently change head chefs or something? The food (in particular the florentine and short rib wrap ) doesn't taste as good as it did last year. I could also be trippin'.
The mac and cheese at this place is my Monday lifeblood. It gets me through the day.
Great food and service. Definitely wud go back and wud recommend!
Toad in a whole for breakfast great happy hour for draft beers as well love this spot
Get the cheesesteak sandwich with watermelon salad . Omg!
Yummy burgers and it’s all fresh made ????

If you're a meat eater, make sure to try the bacon bleu cheese burger .
Chicken wrap & chicken salad salad were amazing.
Thoughtful craft beer selection . A quiet respite from Santa Monica. Happy hour from 3pm!
Great lemonade and fries amongst everything else
Get the Ginger Kombucha - so tasty AND they help homeless dogs
The thai satay salad is amazing
Hummus packed a surprising kick. Beers were good though underwhelming.
Miso short rib wrap and Thai chicken satay salad with extra pickles !
Meatball sub is good!
A bit pricey . Tacos were good, but the rib ones were best (compared to swordfish )
Had the grilled cheese . I can't even explain how good it was. Get it.
The shrimp po boy isn't a traditional po boy , but it ain't bad.
Spice up your meal with a Lychee Wasabi capsaicin spiced elixir ! Read more
