Dies ist die Art von Restaurant, das Großeltern lieben...und in das sie vermutlich heute noch gehen. Der Besitzer ist Mayor Richard Riordan und das Lokal ist 24 Stunden geöffnet und das seit 1924! Die Türen haben nicht einmal Schlösser. Egal ob Frühstück, Mittagessen oder Abendessen – hier wird jeder satt; und das zu einem guten Preis. Zum Abendessen gibt es leckere Steaks mit Gemüse und Kartoffeln. Die gemischte Kundschaft besteht hauptsächlich aus Arbeitern, aber alle sind hier willkommen.
Dieses Mekka für Fleischesser ist 24 Stunden geöffnet und bietet nur beste Qualität an gigantischen Steaks. Bundgemischtes Publikum- es gibt Fleischfans in jeder Generation. Die Portionen sind dermassen grosszügig, dass man nach dem Essen unabhängig von der Tageszeit erstmal einen Verdauungsschlaf einlegen muss. Die Öffnungszeiten sind zwar sehr angenehm, dafür sind es die Preise weniger: ein Steak mit Beilagen und Getränk kann schon um die USD 40 (EUR 47,70) kosten. Wer sich's leisten kann, sollte diese Erfahrung aber auf keinen Fall verpassen.
Die Filiale in Santa Monica, 2700 Wilshire Blvd, ist nur bis 2:00 Uhr geöffnet.
