Kevin HartMay 24, 2016Chicken 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
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.September 29, 2011Known 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 SugermanAugust 24, 2013Great food. Be sure to order the tortilla chips with "duo dip" as an appetizer. They're homemade and tasty as heck.
the service is consistently good. i’ve been here probably 100 times and have never had a bad experience.
Sophie SongAugust 10, 2020Crispy 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 SiddikySeptember 6, 2019Everything is good - including amazing service. The chicken sandwich and Asian chicken salad are both delicious.
Lisa EMarch 7, 2023LA needs more places like this, where you can have a great martini and dine at the bar. Order the lamb sando on Fridays.
Angus RobertsonDecember 28, 2013Go-to place on Montana. Small menu but it is all good. Nice wine selection and a good pour!
Meg FarmerSeptember 22, 2015More 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.
LeslieAugust 17, 2012Gabby 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 ;))
The burger is the crowd favorite, but check for some of the specials like the picnic style tuna sandwich or the excellent pulled pork.- BiancaMay 19, 2021Delicious deviled eggs - expect the deconstructed version. The ahi tuna burger was great. Great service.
Andrew GaldiJuly 10, 2015The fried chicken sandwich is unreal! Get it with fries and maybe someone to split it with cus it's huge!- Shirley Z.September 23, 2011Get 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!
Gaia DempseyJanuary 12, 2013The grilled vegetable plate is amazing. Vegetarians will have something actually delicious to eat! Mi Sueño Cabernet is also delightful.
Rachel KAugust 8, 2014The veggie burgers are oddly sweet, made from almonds and mushrooms, smothered in avocado and jack cheese. Still liked it.
MelanieApril 28, 2013Best French fries in town. No matter what else I get I make sure to add on fries.
- Becky BoyleSeptember 15, 2014Ahi burger, Pulled pork sandwich, pim's cup, and the cocktail with st germain! Never go wrong!
LaraOctober 8, 2011Seared ahi tuna salad- like a deconstructed salade nicoise. Plus extra stuff that should be another salad-beets, goat cheese, marcona almonds, and kalmata olives
Sit at the bar and have a glass of wine or a. Steigel with the dip duo. Hamburger and fries are awesome too!
AlleyNovember 5, 2016The deviled eggs are always delicious 😋 but the burgers were not great. Mine was over-cooked, soggy, and crumbled apart when I held it. 🍔👎
Clark GSeptember 10, 2011Mushroom 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.
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.
The burger is phenomenal. 10 out of 10. Better than fathers office. Sit at the bar. Cold draft. Burger. Breeze. Done
Delaney O'BrienApril 29, 2013The Vodka, basil & white grape cocktail Blew. My. Mind. ...if only I knew the name :(
Jeffrey FaheyApril 22, 2012If you're having brunch, definitely grab a Bloody Mary. Great vibe with good service. Enjoy
Garrett PendergraftJanuary 16, 2015If you’re not excited about the beer list (which isn’t great), order the Old Fashioned (which is).
Carmen MolinariNovember 28, 2014Huge Cheeseburgers, but they don't come with fries. Pricey, yet, worth it!
Dan S.August 19, 2013If Charles is bartending, be sure to have him fix your drink. Dude knows his booze
Can a bathroom be sexy? This is a sexy bathroom. The have excellent scones on the morning on a self serve honor system.
Everything from martinis to desserts to salads and burgers- Robert MahoneyMarch 31, 2014Fried sole excellent. Asian Chicken Noodle Salad more CA than Asia- enormous portion and rather bland. Wines rather pricey. Beers better value. Long lines. Popular.
Elizabeth Elle FellowsDecember 27, 2012Shrimp Louie is COVERED in thousand Island. Ask for the special sauce on the side
Lorna HammerleMarch 3, 2011ask for Corey if sitting at the bar. or ask for dez, James, darrio, or deva if sitting else where :) love this place!
Christi EubanksAugust 23, 2014Classic Cocktails. Chicken Sandwich. Deviled Eggs. Dip Duo (with Pimento Cheese!!!)
Lori PolkowskiJuly 11, 2013We 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.
Try the Sunnyside breakfast, served on Saturdays and Sundays.
Mike FergusonJanuary 7, 2012If the wait is more than 20 minutes, there are significantly better (albeit less hip) places within two blocks
Best time to eat is at lunch. Huge windows make for good sunlight in the bar area.
