The atmosphere and prices are great here. The missing stars is for a lack of knowledge and understanding of food allergies in staff, at least the staff I have dealt with. I attempted to order a bowl with no gluten ingredients listed, and I simply asked if they could double check that the sauces were gluten-free as I am allergic. (This was over the phone order for pick-up.)
They said they could not do that and I would need to look through their ingredients list when I arrive. I said I could not order something only to arrive and find out I am allergic. I ended up having to cancel my bowl in the order and only pick up lunch for my husband. This is not only disappointing but extremely surprising to me, especially in a city as big and advanced as Los Angeles.
My husband loved his southwestern chicken wrap.

This place has been better in the past. Went after a big lunch rush. Took a while to get our food.
Their ingredients are usually premium and well selected. But, today our burgers were awful. It tasted like they use a water bath incorrectly. They were flavorless and had a terrible chewy/mealy but without any charbroil on the outside. Really disappointing; hopefully they fix it. It’s a pretty popular place.

Their Ahi sandwich is usually amazing. Surprisingly good, especially for a fast food place. My sandwich tonight, however (delivery) was absolutely DISGUSTING. The Ahi is supposed to be gently seared. It was almost cooked through and dried out. There was no vinegarette so got a dry sandwich, yet the bottom bun was soggy like someone set it in water. Just gross.
The falafel wrap we tried was meh. We wouldn't order it again, but was edible. My friend's chicken sandwich and onion rings were ok.
I would have given it perhaps another star, but I just talked to the manager and she could not possibly have sounded like she cared any less about my problem. Luckily we ordered through DoorDash, so got a little bit back on the order. But the food quality and a manager who doesn't give a crap about the food they put out is worth noting for the record.

This is one of my go-to burger places. I have been coming here for years and the food, service, and prices never disappoint. Everyone is kind at this joint and the burgers absolutely melt in your mouth. You can also get additional condiments for free on your burgers and you definitely will always get your money's worth. My build-your-own turkey burger was $10.75 (additional $1 for Cheese) which I found to be pretty cheap for a non-fast food burger. If you live in the area, you should most definitely check it out!
