25 Degrees at The Hollywood Roosevelt
7.9
Tucked just off the lobby of the Hollywood Roosevelt, 25 Degrees serves thick burgers and cocktails with a side of truffle-scented fries in a dim, red-leather setting. It’s more polished than the average burger joint, making its fries a go-to when you want something a bit dressed up before or after a night out.
Must-Try Dishes:
Truffle fries, Half-pound burger with fries, Breakfast burger with fries

What makes it special: Hotel-bar burgers and truffle fries in a moody, old-Hollywood room.
Who should go: Date nights and hotel guests craving elevated burgers and fries.

What to order: Truffle fries, signature burger, milkshake or cocktail.
Insider tip: Sit at the bar for faster service and better people-watching than the booths.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet at the Hollywood Roosevelt is the most reliable option, though it can be pricey; limited metered street parking on Hollywood Blvd and side streets fills quickly after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning polished; jeans are fine but the room suits a slightly dressier look, especially on weekend nights.
Noise level: Moderate to lively; you can hold a conversation at most tables, but the bar and peak evening hours get energetic.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation, longer after major events at Ovation Hollywood or the Roosevelt.
Weekday lunch: Typically little to no wait, especially before 1pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — there is a solid veggie burger and vegetarian salads, plus fries and sides.
Vegan options: Limited — fries are fine, but burger options require modification; not ideal for strict vegans.
Gluten-free options: Some items can be made gluten-free, including bun substitutions; cross-contact is possible in a busy kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — the moody lighting, hotel setting, and elevated burger menu strike the right balance between casual and stylish, making it an easy first-date win.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes, especially on weekdays; on weekends your best bet is to sit at the bar, where seats turn over faster.
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat — the space skews adult and late-night, but kids are fine earlier in the evening; no dedicated kids’ menu.
Best For
Better for: A more upscale, date-friendly burger-and-fries outing than nearby quick-service spots, with stronger cocktails and a more atmospheric room.
Skip if: You want a fast, inexpensive fry stop or need broad vegan or gluten-free options — this leans more toward polished comfort dining.
