    Try the Royale burger or if you aren't in the mood for a burger, try the pulled pork.

    I also am bananas about the classic 1/3 lb. burger, and because you can never have too much of a good thing, I get the double. If you go Oinkster pastrami - go posh, GO POSH!

    This place is delicious and worth a visit if you are in in these Los Angeles areas: Eagle Rock, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank. Try the Rotisserie Chicken, Red Cabbage Slaw and or the Plantains. Yummy! Read more

    No need to try anything else on the menu. Just go straight for the pastrami. It's bomb.com.

    Not great. Pulled pork is dry and served with NO BBQ sauce. They don't offer BBQ sauce there at all, as far as I can tell. I'm used to pork simmered in sauce with additional on the side.

    Use the garlic aioli from the fries (or buy it seperately) on the pulled pork sandwich instead of the barbecue sauce. Amazing!!

    If you're a hipster you'll probably love it here. It's not bad, But not worth $10 for a small pastrami sandwich and $6 for a shake.

    It's true! fries are cooked in beef shortening- yummmm! Ask for aioli on the side. If you must, you can request vegetarian fries instead.

    Pastrami is really, really good, both in traditional and Reuben form. Fries are just meh. Skip em and get a beer instead.

    Great selection of draft beers. Look for neighborhood-brewed beers from the Eagle Rock Brewery.
