Rod: Love 3x the Lamb Triple Dip! It is not overkill to 3x dip. Grab your favorite side. Mine's mac salad and a lemonade. Load up with the spicy mustard and rest assured you've eaten the best FD in LA.
Charlie Ortega: I'm not one for conformity but you have to go with the recommended sandwich: double dipped lamb with bleu cheese covered in hot mustard! also try the cole slaw with hot mustard, yum
Billy Amp: The Classic French Dipped Sandwich! Try a double dipped lamb sandwich with hot mustard! It's my go to!

Steve Feighner: Amazing queso dip and gotta love the migas!
Tim M.: My favorites are the Trinity with pico and the Guadalupe, both on flour tortillas. Their queso is on point, so don't forget to get a side of it. Add on a pack of flour tortillas to dip in the queso!
Abbey Keck: I liked The Trinity on a corn tortilla, but get a side of queso and a side of their flour tortillas and dip the tortillas in the queso.
Sam Plotkin: Beauty of this place: you cannot go wrong. Oysters, Lobster Roll, Fish & Chips, Peach Pie...one better than the next. 'Blue Fish' was a bit fishy - my only half-critique of the bunch.
Aaron Schiff: Fish and chips. Do it
Justin Satzman: The food was great. I had the halibut that was herb crusted, potato salad & spinach. Also for an app, we had the calamari and bread. Other people had the fish and chips and the salmon.

Danielle: Super tasty pickled carrots, freshly fried chips, and tasty salsa are given to you as soon as you walk in the door. Huge portions, good breakfast burrito, and huevos rancheros.
Jennifer: The chips are fantastic. Thick, crunchy, perfect with the pickled carrots and salsa. The waitstaff serve them in tiny little bowls, but don't feel bad about asking for thirds, fourths, fifths...
Michael Carroll: Best chips and salsa. Love their pickled carrots. Their nachos are the best in Southern California using real cheese instead of Velveeta. Go early because the line to get in gets long.
