A Golden Hill supper club where diners grill their own steaks and burgers to order, which Roger calls a great value for the amount of food, with a warning to arrive before 7pm before it gets packed.
Start with steak (grill-it-yourself) or burger or garlic bread, and check the restaurant’s current menu before you go.

This place kills Gaslamp Strip Club (and only a fraction of the price in comparison)!

“Prices here are damn good for the amount of food you're getting.”
Diners grill their own steak, burger or skewers and season it their own way; a full meal (steak, salad, garlic bread, drink) runs about $20 or less. Roger's tips: don't hog the grill tools or seasonings, and cook the garlic bread in the last couple minutes since it cooks fast. Notes it's dark inside and recommends arriving before 7pm before it gets packed.

A hipster vegan restaurant and cocktail bar Roger compared to a plant-based Polite Provisions, with a compact but crowd-pleasing food menu.
A Golden Hill taco shop Roger rated 4 stars for very juicy carne asada and reasonably priced, decent-sized burritos, noting it gets crowded and rowdy with a late-night, post-club crowd on Thursday through Saturday nights.

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.
Great food, slow service: the birthday dinner where Roger was charged $1.50 for a truffle nobody ordered.
