Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet parking available for $10-12. Street parking on Sunset Strip nearly impossible evenings/weekends. Nearby paid lots within 2 blocks run $15-20
Dress code: Casual Western or LA casual - jeans with boots work great, but tourists wear everything. No tank tops or flip-flops for bull riding
Noise level: Very loud - music, bull riding cheers, patio buzz. Great for groups and parties, challenging for intimate conversation
Weekend wait: 60-90 min without reservation on Friday/Saturday nights. Reservations strongly recommended
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait Monday-Thursday before 6pm, walk-ins usually fine
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited - a few salads and sides, but this is a chop house focused on meat
Vegan options: Very limited - side salads and vegetables available but minimal dedicated options
Gluten-free options: Yes - gluten-free options marked on menu and staff can guide modifications
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Fun for adventurous first dates who want entertainment over intimacy. The mechanical bull and s'mores provide built-in conversation starters and photo ops. However, skip it if you want meaningful conversation - the noise level and party atmosphere make this better for 'let's have fun' dates rather than 'let's get to know each other' dinners.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weeknights yes, weekends absolutely not. Reserve ahead for Friday/Saturday or any night you want patio seating near fire pits. Walk-ins may face 60+ minute waits during peak times. Bar seating sometimes available but you'll miss the full patio experience.
Is it kid-friendly? Very kid-friendly - kids menu available, high chairs provided, and the mechanical bull and s'mores make it a family destination. Best for kids 5+ who'll enjoy the entertainment. Bull riding has age/height restrictions (typically 8+ years old depending on child's size). Expect families especially during weekend brunch and early dinner hours.
How much does the mechanical bull cost and do I need to reserve? Bull riding is free for diners - no additional charge. No reservation needed, just ask your server or approach the bull operator. Wait times vary from immediate to 15-20 minutes during busy weekend nights. Staff will help with safety instructions.
What's the s'mores situation - is it included? S'mores kits are ordered from the menu (typically $8-12) and include marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. You roast them tableside at the outdoor fire pits on the patio. Request patio seating when reserving to guarantee fire pit access - indoor tables can't access them.
Best For
Better for: Best for Instagram-worthy experience and entertainment value on Sunset Strip, birthday celebrations and group parties needing guaranteed fun, families wanting kid entertainment beyond just food, tourists seeking quintessential LA/Hollywood experience, and anyone wanting outdoor patio dining with fire pits. The mechanical bull and s'mores are unique differentiators no other wings spot offers
Skip if: You want authentic local vibes over tourist atmosphere, need budget-friendly pricing (this is $$$ compared to $ and $$ competitors), prefer quiet conversation or romantic ambiance, want craft cocktails over basic bar drinks, or seek dive-bar authenticity. Also skip if you're bothered by crowds and noise - head to 33 Taps or HiTops for more locals-focused scenes instead
