Chicken sandwich tickles my fancy in the best way, but good luck eating it without everything falling out -- somehow Kaveh did it and I think he might be a wizard

Ian O'Neill

All the food is great. Small menu, but you can't go far wrong choosing the fried fish , ribs , the salad dishes and specials. The Sunnyside is my guilty pleasure ???? Fantastic service! Ask for Joanna

Dani P.

Known for their French Dip , R & D Kitchen has a small but delightful menu. Suggest: Dip Duo as a starter. Also have fresh salads and side items.

Michael Sugerman

Great food. Be sure to order the tortilla chips with "duo dip " as an appetizer . They're homemade and tasty as heck.

Karen Lurry

the service is consistently good. i’ve been here probably 100 times and have never had a bad experience.

Sophie Song

Crispy chicken sandwich is to die for. Sauce/vinaigrette on the slaw is sooo delicious, chicken stays crunchy, bread is so so good. I’m obsessed!

Rumana Siddiky

Everything is good - including amazing service. The chicken sandwich and Asian chicken salad are both delicious.

Lisa E

LA needs more places like this, where you can have a great martini and dine at the bar . Order the lamb sando on Fridays.

Meg Farmer

More for the scene than the food, though it's not bad. Draws a trendy crowd, love the open windows to the street in the front. This place is always overflowing.

Angus Robertson

Go-to place on Montana. Small menu but it is all good. Nice wine selection and a good pour!

Bianca

Delicious deviled eggs - expect the deconstructed version. The ahi tuna burger was great. Great service.

Leslie

Gabby is a wonderful waitress ! I recommend the deviled eggs and peach dessert - might be a special 2day. Please note I'm from GA and a good judge on this subject ;))

Larry Vincent

The burger is the crowd favorite, but check for some of the specials like the picnic style tuna sandwich or the excellent pulled pork .

Gaia Dempsey

The grilled vegetable plate is amazing. Vegetarians will have something actually delicious to eat! Mi Sueño Cabernet is also delightful.

Rachel K

The veggie burgers are oddly sweet, made from almonds and mushrooms , smothered in avocado and jack cheese . Still liked it.

Melanie

Best French fries in town . No matter what else I get I make sure to add on fries .

Shirley Z.

Get the dip duo , it's the best guac in town . Theres always a long wait and they only seat you if everyone is present - so don't bring a lagger or youll be waiting forever!

Andrew Galdi

The fried chicken sandwich is unreal! Get it with fries and maybe someone to split it with cus it's huge!

Delaney O'Brien

The Vodka , basil & white grape cocktail Blew. My. Mind. ...if only I knew the name :(

Salim Mitha

The burger is phenomenal. 10 out of 10. Better than fathers office . Sit at the bar . Cold draft . Burger . Breeze. Done

Clark G

Mushroom Meatloaf is to freakin DIE for. Oh, and Chimay. Duh. Have to get that beer as a right of passage into cool kid land. Obvi. 2 if you're a badass.

Becky Boyle

Ahi burger , Pulled pork sandwich , pim's cup, and the cocktail with st germain ! Never go wrong!

Christi Eubanks

Classic Cocktails . Chicken Sandwich . Deviled Eggs . Dip Duo (with Pimento Cheese !!!)

Lara

Seared ahi tuna salad - like a deconstructed salade nicoise . Plus extra stuff that should be another salad-beets, goat cheese , marcona almonds , and kalmata olives

AskMen

Enjoy a stellar martini or Chimay, the open space , small dining room & open kitchen . The food is not as memorable as the scene, but the whole front of the restaurant is open to the street. Read more

Alley

The deviled eggs are always delicious ???? but the burgers were not great. Mine was over-cooked, soggy, and crumbled apart when I held it. ???? ????

Jennifer Lucas

Sit at the bar and have a glass of wine or a. Steigel with the dip duo . Hamburger and fries are awesome too!

Jeffrey Fahey

If you're having brunch , definitely grab a Bloody Mary . Great vibe with good service . Enjoy

Dave Sliozis

You're going to see a lot of good on their menu. But just know, that you're a fool if you don't give in to the Rubenesque Sandwich . It's worth getting a case of 2am meat-sweats for.

Alieh Zohoury

Get the Asian chicken and noodle salad .

Chinarut Ruangchotvit

veggie burger is made fresh & to die for!

Nawal

The shrimp Louise salad so delicious and the cheese burger amazing !!

Helen Limm

Can a bathroom be sexy? This is a sexy bathroom . The have excellent scones on the morning on a self serve honor system.

Garrett Pendergraft

If you’re not excited about the beer list (which isn’t great), order the Old Fashioned (which is).

ShoppingandInfo Manager

Everything from martinis to desserts to salads and burgers

Joey J

Cocktails , meatloaf , deviled eggs , chicken meatballs

Carmen Molinari

Huge Cheeseburgers , but they don't come with fries . Pricey , yet, worth it!

Lori Polkowski

We waited for a table. Looked at the crowd, then the menu then left. Looks like a great place to go to try to find a sugar daddy though.

Dan S.

If Charles is bartending , be sure to have him fix your drink. Dude knows his booze

Abu Aya KD

Crispy Chicken sandwich was the best

Evelina Prodanova

Amazing veggie burger and carrot cake ???????????????????????? ????????

Robert Mahoney

Fried sole excellent. Asian Chicken Noodle Salad more CA than Asia- enormous portion and rather bland. Wines rather pricey . Beers better value. Long lines . Popular.

Lorna Hammerle

ask for Corey if sitting at the bar . or ask for dez, James, darrio, or deva if sitting else where :) love this place!

Bo Liebman

the food was great and very friendly service , but prices are ridiculous

Shil Pa

best chicken burgers in LA. have been twice in last 3 days.

Elizabeth Elle Fellows

Shrimp Louie is COVERED in thousand Island . Ask for the special sauce on the side

Celia

The crispy chicken sandwich is the BEST!

Michael Q

Best time to eat is at lunch . Huge windows make for good sunlight in the bar area.

Rafael Alvarez Vallina

The cool people around you should not remove your attention from the ahi tuna burger

Brad Hall

Try the Sunnyside breakfast , served on Saturdays and Sundays.
