    Got a Beef Jumbo Dog (mustard and chili) and a can of Coke. The bun was toasted. The hot dog had more seasoning flavor than beef flavor. From what I saw on Google, EOC uses RC Provisions Chili Con Carne Base as the foundation for their famous chili. I have actually bought the 5lb tube of RC Provisions Chili Con Carne from Smart & Final to make chili at home. The chili at EOC had a thin/medium consistency. I can taste the RC Provisions chili and a medium/heavy smoky aftertaste. Service was very friendly. Expect a little bit of a wait since the food is grilled to order. Dining is available both inside and outside. EOC is located in Crenshaw Square, which has plenty of parking in back of the center.

    First time here. Had a little challenge ordering as the person was brand new. I got a mustard, relish, onion, all beef hot dog on wheat bread and a mustard and sour kraut beef dog on wheat. I appreciate that they have a flavored water option that they make and only charge $1 for. The dogs were tasty, but the wheat bun was a little dry. The water was good. The other staff were pleasant and helpful. I'll be back to try other things!

    Plenty of space to eat outside. It was Friday at lunch time yet parking was pretty easy. All the food was great. We took a pile of desserts back home for folks to try out. Nice to see Earle, and meet his mother who stopped to talk to my grandson. Good service! Everyone was very nice. We all said we'd return!

    Looking for a small , nice spot with good food?? Earls is your place!! I couldn't believe the prices and the food was delicious.. the place is busy but it moves fast. Friendly staff a the place was clean with beautiful pictures all over the walls.. they even have a tv and drawing area for smaller children .. I would definitely go back.. this has been on my list to try for awhile now .. don't forget to try the banana pudding

    Earle's on Crenshaw is one of those places where you pull up and leave FULL -- not just from the food, but the whole experience. I had the vegan chili burger, chili dog, hot link, and chili cheese fries, and everything kept coming back to that chili. It's rich, flavorful, and honestly one of the best vegan chili options I've had in LA. The burger was stacked and satisfying, the hot link had that perfect bite, and the fries loaded with chili and cheese? Yeah... worth it. What really stands out is the intention behind it -- separate cooking, full vegan options, and even desserts like peach cobbler and chocolate cake. They're not cutting corners. And the fact that this is all happening right on Crenshaw? That makes it even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    Came here with some friends to try out the place. Ive passed by it many times and Im not a hot dog person but when I found out they had links, I was in. Staff are nice the environment is very efficient and chill. I ordered a beef link with chili, cheese, relish and pickles. It was soooo gooood. I got some fries which were steak fries and they were seasoned to perfection. Lastly. I got the German chocolate cake and pecan pie. Uh, yes sir to the chocolate cake, its Tasty as well. The pecan pie was ok but all in all, good bite and good vibes

    The receipt!

    I've been patronizing Earl, since 1987 when he had the hotdog cart on the side of then the Crenshaw Swap meet- long before the mall was built. He has always given service with a smile and good food. I ordered my usual tonight for myself and my daughter, the famous vegan chili cheese fries with regular cheese + extra cheese. We got all the way home, ready to dig in and discovered they were beef chili cheese fries and a small amount I will add. Pissed was not word! I went looking for the receipt and saw that I was actually charged for beef chili cheese fries although I said vegan chili cheese fries with extra cheese. Maybe I can be tracked by my name and you would see that I have never ordered beef chili cheese fries in all my time of ordering this food. I usually pay my bill and never bother to look back at the receipt or keep it but for some reason this time I did. The guy who rang me up did not look familiar- I assume he's the "new guy". Whomever he is he better get it together now!

    The food was excellent. My wife ordered us the pastrami fries, and I instantly fell in love with them lol... great service and the ambiance was amazing as well. Would definitely recommend and be going back

    All beef hot dog, mayo, tomatoes, beef chili, raw onion and mustard on white bread. Fiyeeerrrr

    Dang, that was a great hotdog. I ordered a jumbo beef dog with mayo, tomato, beef chili, raw onion and mustard on white bread. The chile was really good - not too salty or oily. The combo of topping I chose worked soooo good together. I loved the combo of the chile and tomato. Made it nice and juicy! The hot god was delicious with a deep, savory beefy flavor. I love me a good hot dog.

    Was in the area intentionally to try this long time community staple for the very first time. Was wanting to try their vegan menu for a first meal and early dinner for the day. The service was absolutely refreshing. Dwayne and Staff were more than hospitable and welcoming. The energy and ambiance was a buzz with excitement as well as joy. And that's a rarity you don't typically experience combined. One of the hosts (Quentavia) added to the experience of Earls On Crenshaw with an infectious genuine smile and aura that I will never forget. Ordered the Vegan Chili with Vegan Cheese Vegan Link Dog on a Wheat Bun (With Mustard, Royal (red) Onions, Jalapeños, and Ketchup) and the Vegan Chili Vegan Cheese Fries (with Jalapeños). Also, (since I already had Ketchup on my Link), I ordered the 'Ol School Coffee Cake. Watching my sugar intake these days. The Vegan Chili Vegan Cheese Vegan Link Dog was delicious. Enjoyed the textures and was simply a great tasting Link. The Vegan Chili Vegan Cheese Fries were another top notch experience. Tasty, fulfilling, and I would surely return for them again. Earls offers a house made cold Cucumber Spearmint and Lemon infused water to wash it down. Delish as well. Was able to catch Dwayne (an owner) as I was heading out. We had a short conversation that turned out with him preparing and sharing with myself and other patrons a Vegan Cheese Burger (impossible patty) with deep fried stringy Onions that was delicious. A great gesture adding to why Earls On Crenshaw is highly regarded. I included a video with Dwayne of Earls On Crenshaw himself breaking down that their Chili Cheese Fries are the Best in town. Later after reaching my destination. I opened the Coffee Cake and let's just say I was floored with the aromas of fresh Coffee Cake filling the space of the room. Cinnamon and Vanilla flowed lusciously from the packaging that got me excited. Visions of freshly made Coffee Cake (just like in the Junior High School Cafeteria) was nostalgic saying the least. And tasted so good. Gotta get another and heat it up next time. Gratitude and give thanks Dwayne Quentavia Staff and Earls on Crenshaw for a fabulously memorable first time meal experience. I am a fan and you will be seeing me again soon.

    Banana pudding is a MUST!

    Hot dogs are pretty standard, but the vibes are superb. Whatever you do - order the banana pudding!

    Open flame cooked and pressed to keep the dogs from curling = A+

    I used to think Pink's was the best chili dog in L.A. but I hadn't been to Earle's yet - there's a new #1 on my L.A. Chili Dog list! Earle's is top notch quality food, customer service, and atmosphere! Earle is a G.O.A.T. - talks with everybody while in line and/or while sitting and eating and explains the menu options. He even brought us out a free salmon burger to try. How does a chili dog restaurant have the best dang Salmon I've ever tasted?!?! That sandwich was fire! Even beats all the ways salmon was served on an Alaskan Cruise! I still have to try quite a few other chili in L.A. but I can't imagine anything keeping Earle's from being top-3.

    The best food I've ever tasted, employees are very nice and the whole place had an awesome vibe, and Earl is genuinely the hardest worker on the planet 11/10

While I am not at all vegan, it can be a fantastic change of pace when trying a cuisine that is not at all my regular routine. Happily, Variable has tons of choices, and we loved what we got. I was drawn towards the 'N Seoul Bowl' (Korean spicy plant based pork, house marinated Kimchi, organic edamame, steamed organic spinach, carrot, steamed broccoli, onion , organic shiitake, topped with green onion and sesame seeds and side organic quinoa). So good, a bit spicy, and so many flavors on the plate it was impossible to not only love it, but I could not finish it, either. That goes from all their dishes. They are big, and in our experience, it came out piping hot soon after ordering it. My companion tried the 'Indian Tikka Masala' (homemade Indian curry, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash, potatoes, cabbage, chickpea, micro green, Served with blend wild Jasmin rice and Indian Flat Bread). Tastes so fresh, hearty, with just enough of a kick to it. I look forward to trying some of their other dishes, too. The burger that the table near us ordered looked fantastic. I gotta think that everything here is pretty dang great.

And it was super filling, too! I also grabbed a coconut water cause I need my electrolytes. I took my meal to-go, but kind of regretted it because the inside is so cute! Retro diner chic.

I'm obsessed with their lion's mane steak and will order it almost every time I visit (unless I'm trying one of the new seasonal main courses) - it's surprisingly close to the flavor and texture of actual steak! The calamari is one of my favorites and my very anti-vegan stepkids actually said it's better than real calamari, which is huge. Chef Tal Ronnen is amazing at making a vegan dinner not feel like a vegan dinner, but instead a decadent filling meal that's comparable to any Italian restaurant.

Our server was nice at first but throughout our time there she became increasingly condescending and rude. We started with the calamari, squash blossoms, and watermelon salad. The calamari was good. The watermelon salad was delicious but could have used double the feta and pistachios. The squash blossoms were so small and dry. The "cheese" inside was hard and tasted sour. We used to get them all the time and the recipe is definitely different. One in our group ordered a beer when we sat down at didn't come until midway through the appetizers. When we asked our server for it, she just said it was coming. For our entrees we got the meatball pizza, spicy rigatoni with chicken Parmesan, eggplant short rib, and bolognese. The meatball pizza was fine but not good enough to want to finish. The two pastas were the best but not that much flavor. The eggplant short rib was inedible. They basically just peel an eggplant and slap a giant slab on a bowl of mashed potatoes. It was so dense and chewy and slimy. We couldn't swallow it. We also ordered the truffle potatoes at the start of our meal and they didn't come out until we were finished with our entrees. When I informed our server, she simply gave me attitude and said to wait because they take longer to cook. At that point we didn't bother bringing up the eggplant dish because we knew we'd be dismissed again. We were very disappointed in the quality of food and the service. We'll be dropping this place from our roster of good LA spots.

I especially loved the beautiful ceramic water cups with bird designs--they were so unique and charming. Even the water tasted wonderful! I'm thrilled that Au Lac is still thriving after all these years. If anything, the food tasted even better than I remembered. I certainly won't wait another 12 years before coming back. In fact, I was so impressed that I convinced my husband to come with me next Saturday for dinner! I've tried many vegan restaurants over the years, and Au Lac remains my absolute favorite. My favorite on the Westside is Variable Café, but if you're willing to drive a little farther, Au Lac is on another level. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Whether you're vegan or not, this place is truly outstanding. Five stars without hesitation!

They only have a hose A/C in the corner that didn't do much to cool the place down. The food though was amazing! As 2 vegetarians and 1 vegan, we had never seen such an extensive plant based option with not only vegan cheeses but meat substitutes with protein! No wonder they have been ranked #1 for multiple years. The starter bread came in a brown bag and was soft and delicious, especially with the house pesto. You could really taste the basil but it didnt feel too oily. We got the calamari because none of us have ever seen a vegan one on a menu! It was breaded and fried and had a squishy center made of pea protein that I guess simulates the real one? It came with a marinara dipping sauce. I could obly have a few because they were fried and I felt like they were a bit too salty Next the pastas came out - the Pistachio pesto and the fusili with sausage. Both were delicious. The pesto sauce was the same one we had with the bread but the pasta had Pistachio chunks in it as well and generous amounts of pesto. The sausage was chewy and the sauce must've had either the same seasoning or chunks of it blended in because you could taste the same flavor in that as well! We had hopes of trying dessert but these 3 dishes were a perfect size for our party and we had been starving ourselves for most of the day for this (probably due to all the protein included in a usually carb only meal). The service was prompt, dishes came out quickly, and water was always filled. I am looking forward to returning to try all the other dishes!

I got the vegan lasagna as my main which was good, but came out lukewarm. dessert is an absolute must-- the vegan tart was the best part of the meal. fun drinks menu. I had the summer sangria- yum! thankfully they have a parking lot next door!

We had the crispy rice, nachos with beef added on top, and the vodka pizza which is one of my favorite vegan pizzas to date. We also got the noodles (non spicy ones) and the brownie with ice cream OMG, amazing. Our waiter, cannot remember his name unfortunately, was fantastic. Very attentive and gave great suggestions. Overall, 10/10, will definitely be back!!

What we ordered: + Chaga chai: Basically hot coffee with chai but much stronger earthy taste with the turmeric. A good spin on the usual and oat milk optional if you find it too strong. + Crispy mushroom hand roll: 1 each and this was a bit hard to eat without making a mess on your hands. If you like crunchy mushrooms, this is nice but a pass for me. + Spicy salmon hand roll: This is a fun one where you make your own hand roll. It's a February special. + Dragon: My favorite of all the sushi. This tastes the closest to real sushi because of the unagi sauce and I liked the slight chewy texture of the tempura inside. + Pressed & torched: If you like truffle sauce, this is a win but I'm less of a fan of how mushy/soft the rice is. Warm melted avocado is nice though. Parking was easy with street parking or valet. Street parking is metered for $2/hour but you can only pay one hour at a time. Set your alarms if you need more time.

    This place is AMAZING. Especially for a vegetarian who hasn't had catsu in forever. I accidentally…read morecame across it while stuck in traffic and we've been craving it and coming back a couple times within a month. We live over an hour away. The chicken stays crispy for a long time and reheats nicely as leftovers. Everything we've ordered is really good and crave-worthy. We got the lucky catsu, curry catsu, crispy shrimp, spam masubi, catsu masubi, orange chicken, crispy chicken. Top two favorites are lucky and curry catsu. Small things I'd personally wish to change is that the onion is too strong in the macaroni salad. Wish it wasn't in there period. And the rice is a little on the dryer side and it sticks to the container- so when you scrape up the last bits of rice, you could be eating the paper from the container. I like that they use compostable containers though!! But yeah the rice is on the harder side especially as leftovers. But whatever, their main items are bomb and makes me not care about anything else. Service is quick! Note: it is not a sit down restaurant. You order (ahead) and park on the street and call them to let them know you're outside. They'll bring the food out. Reception isn't great outside fyi. I've been here 3 times and never last long enough to get a photo before digging in. There are two other vegan restaurants right next to it, same concept - order and pick up. Great for different options if one is craving Mexican from Cena or hot dogs from All franks.

    To be very honest, I love this place so much. I am currently sad because they are not open. I've…read morebeen looking every day to see when they will open back up from the macaroni to the spam. Anything that you get here is good.

    This is one of my favorite plant-based brunch spots here in the LA area. I have dined here many…read moretimes throughout the years at both this location in Larchmont and the other one in Venice. The ambiance is always a cool, calm, and chill vibe. I tend to come around the time they open on the weekends, and it's especially quiet, and I enjoy eating out in the outdoor area. Smoothies are delicious and they offer so many customizable options. On this visit, I had the savory version of "I Am Hospitable." This waffle is cooked to perfection and it has the perfect amount of crispiness and fluffiness. The oyster mushroom is exceptionally well-cooked with a great crunch without it being too oily. Everything here is always seasoned appropriately. Customer service here goes above and beyond, and I believe (Candace?) saw us on our last visit. She was so warm and engaging, plus she gave some really great suggestions. I wish other restaurants had people like this. On every visit, no matter who seats us, we receive the same warm welcome and friendly service that makes us feel great the rest of the day

The cafe itself is beautiful and cozy, and the whole team was incredibly kind. Our server honestly made the experience even better. He was so friendly and genuinely excited about the menu, took the time to explain everything, and gave us great recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. You could tell he really cared about making people have a good experience. The food and coffee were amazing, super flavorful and satisfying without feeling too heavy. It ended up being one of our favorite stops during our trip. Huge thank you to everyone there for making our day so special.

The cashier was super patient and helpful which I appreciate a ton! The location is on the corner of a lil strip of businesses so a few parking spots which makes a difference. Inside was a small setup but again super cute Here's what we got: 1. The Smokey (10/10) - it's banging! I really wanted to try it specifically because the onion-jalapeño jam got me stuck... and it did not disappoint! 2. The brisket breakfast burrito (9/10) - I asked them to cut both in half since I was gonna share with someone in the streets haha I love burritos, I love vegan breakfast burritos so nom nom nom! 3. Speculoos brownie (10/10) - it's super El Niño so the brownie was hot and ready by the time I landed so it was gooey and delish af I will definitely be back when I can push out to HP to grab refrigerated meets and cheezes! Please come support a vegan business!!

    Best of the best…read more Maciel's is a Highland Park gem located on of course York Blvd - this Plant-Based Butcher Shop has been voted one of the best places to eat in Los Angeles and rightfully so. Whether you're vegan (like me), vegetarian or flex (like a lot of the world) this is a spot you should definitely try at least once or at least thrice. Impressive sides, soups, salads, sandwiches (both hot and cold), "meats" and "cheeses"... Not to mention desserts and breakfast items. Love the French Toast!! But that Reuben is a 10/10 and my guilty pleasure. And the meats are plant-based, loaded with flavor and true culinary flare. Maciel herself as well as this eatery combines passions for cuisine, health, nutrition and care all in one in this often thriving vegan-friendly area in Greater Los Angeles. Catch them also at big gathering such as the annual Vegan Street Fair in North Hollywood, Coachella Music and Arts Festival, and Open daily from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, closed on Mondays. Some parking in their lot, but street recommend if the lot is full on the corner of Aldama St/York Blvd. Gender-neutral restrooms. And open to all.
