    Classic, neighborhood staple. We tried the classics: pastrami in a hot dog bun and chili cheese dog with the works. Friendly and fast service. Def going to try some of the vegetarian options, turkey burger and salmon burgers. Great menu with a variety of options. Def give them a try and support local small businesses!

    Chili cheese fries

    Went by just before closing. Service was good, and quick. We ordered a chili dog, a chili pastrami dog, chili cheese fries and a carrot cake. The hot dogs were good, the fries could have been cooked a little longer and either the fries or chili had a slight burnt taste to it. You can watch them make your food. They have tables and seats inside and outside. I don't notice until today when I looked at my receipt that the pastrami chili cheese dog was $17. Kind of pricey. Plenty of parking on Crenshaw or in the rear.

    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!

    Great Food with Great Vegan Options!! I always look forward to a place that serves comfort food with Vegan Options so my daughter and I can enjoy the experience. Earle's on Crenshaw did not disappoint!! We both had the chill dogs...mine was Vegan. It was a tasty and messy experience which we both enjoyed. I also ordered a slice of Vegan Lemon Cake to go which I truly enjoyed The service was friendly and welcoming. I grew up in this neighborhood and it was so nice to be back!! The outdoor seating is great and gives you a sense of the neighborhood. I will definitely be back.

    I like the decor

    Stopped by Earle's On Crenshaw and had a great experience. I ordered the Spicy Beef Link Earle's Way, the Turkey Burger, and the Pastrami Chili Cheese Fries. The standout for me was definitely the Spicy Beef Link Earle's Way, it was absolutely amazing. The beef link had great flavor, the chili and onions complemented it perfectly, and it lived up to the hype. The Turkey Burger was juicy and flavorful, and the Pastrami Chili Cheese Fries were loaded with toppings and tasted good, though they were just a little on the salty side for my taste. The customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and the food came out quickly. I also liked the ambiance, it had a laid back neighborhood feel with cool decor and a clean dining area that made it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. I also love how there was a lot of parking in the back. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially for that Spicy Beef Link. If you're visiting for the first time, that's the item I'd recommend trying.

    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

    Spicy Beef Link

    I got a Hot Link with everything on it. Hot link was 10/10 for sure one of the best I've had & the Playas Punch was fireee! I did order two Pastrami chili cheese fries which were just ok. My daughter took a few bites & said she didn't like the pastrami or the taste of the chili which was pretty bland. I Finished mine but It was nothing to brag about. Customer service was great so that's always good. All In all it was an ok experience.

    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

    Maribel M.

    About 20 yrs ago I attended an event at Griffith park. There was a pop up tent selling hot dogs. I remember how delicious the hot dog was. A guy gave me a white and blue business card and said they did catering. I finally got to make it here and dauuuummmmm the hot dog remains as delicious as when I first tried it. The chili cheese fries were bomb!!!! The whole meal was tasty and satisfying. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That's what's up!!!! Uhhhhh.....YUM!!!!

    Banana pudding is a MUST!
    Hannah W.

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

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

We stopped in on a Sunday around 11:30, no line and very quick service! Finished eating and left around 12:05 so we must've lucked out with no line. We got two double cheese burgers and the loaded fries. The burger had impressively thin patties with a really nice char on the meat skirt, well seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The buns were quite small and a bit smooshed, but they were soft. It came with some fry sauce and pickles as well, overall a good burger. The fries had a good amount of toppings (cheese onions, fry sauce) and were nice and crispy. Kinda wish the onions were slightly more grilled for some extra flavor! Would probably go for plain next time as the loaded fries and burger together had similar flavors The interior has a few benches for seating and single bar type seating around the perimeter - I could see it filling up if there's a big line of people. Would like to try the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts next time we stop by!

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

I actually even went to their other location into Topanga a while back (which is no longer there along with lots of other places in that ill fated food court). I also saw that they recently made a list of one of the best burgers in the country/world. And while I feel those list are pretty subjective, I do think that this is one of the best burgers I personally have had.
