This place is the Korean…read morefried chicken equivalent of getting hyped up by your funniest friend trying to warn you about the spice level of the food. Service here is quick, warm, and occasionally chaotic in a charming "we're hustling, my friend" way. One minute you're sitting down, the next minute a plate of crispy chicken lands in front of you like it teleported. Even when they're busy, they move with that "we got you" energy. "Is it perfect? No. Is it fast enough that you forget you were ever hungry? Absolutely." The chicken... my God. Crispy like it trained in a dojo. Saucy like it's trying to flirt. The seasoned chicken hits harder than other spots, a little spicier, a little louder, a little "I hope you cleared your schedule." Portions are generous. Prices are a little tad bit higher, but honestly, you're paying for chicken that could win awards and maybe even run for office. Probably not, lol. As for the Flavor, well if you like things on the spicy side good, this is the spot. I understand why people come back multiple times a month. I almost signed a lease in their parking lot. lol. Imagine a sports bar... but cleaner, less sticky, and with chicken that doesn't taste like regret. TVs on, drinks flowing, weekday happy hour doing what makes you feel good, enjoying life one bite at a time! It's casual, fun, and the kind of place where you can yell "THIS CHICKEN IS CRAZY" and nobody judges you because they're yelling it too. Parking's on the side or parking lot can be a bit challenging, but well worth the taste and ambience of the place to make you forget about it. Miguel C.

I ordered the "Original" Fully Loaded Hash Browns and a variety of pancakes were the star, crispy edges on my hash browns, generous toppings, and a portion size that could easily feed two people seriously. It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

I called back to ask what time they actually closed. He asked me what I wanted to order. I gave him my order. He asked where are you? I said across the street. He said come now and I'll get it ready.  He did just that! His customer service was kind and appreciated. He was friendly, patient, and really made sure my order was right and that I was satisfied. Now let's talk about the potato--absolutely delicious! I got the chicken, broccoli, and bacon potato. The potatoe was huge! It was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, fluffy on the inside and loaded with fresh, flavorful toppings. Every bite was satisfying, and the portion was more than generous. I'll have enough for several more servings. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to quality. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or something hearty and comforting, Mr. Potatoes definitely delivers. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends and family!

I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch…read more Torrance Tavern is restaurant bar located in a shopping center. Needless to say, there is plenty of parking. The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

Waiters kept checking on us. Got the mild Buffalo Wings for $14 and Parmesan Fries for $6. The wings were good. The Parmesan Fries were really good, they didn't skimped on the Parmesan. Both dishes were small and came with ranch sauce. Got place to watch the games with friends. Not the place to have a conversation. Happy Hour was Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm and 10pm to closing at midnight. Karaoke night was Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10pm to closing at midnight.

This is a steakhouse that serves different cuts of meat, but it's primarily known for its prime…read morerib. I've been here several times including yesterday. Would I say they have the best prime rib around? No. But it is pretty damn satisfying. When here, I always order the Franciscan cut Prime Rib cooked to medium (it's 3/4 pounds), house salad with ranch dressing, and steak fries. They throw in a loaf of sourdough bread with whipped butter. The prime rib is very tender and has plenty of fat. We all know fat equals flavor. The only thing I would change about it, and I keep forgetting to ask the server each time I'm here, is to have it served without the au jus already in the plate. Don't get me wrong. The au jus is fantastic, but when the prime rib is served in a pool of it, the meat becomes soggy. Served separately, I think the prime rib would be even better. In addition to the prime rib, the salad and steak fries are incredibly delicious. The salad is nothing fancy, but very tasty due to the ranch dressing it comes with. Wish I knew the recipe of the dressing. The steak fries pair perfectly with the prime rib. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The only thing I would say is pretty average is the sourdough bread. Although it comes out warm, I don't get the sense that they're freshly baked. The service here is phenomenal. The servers are attentive, polite, and efficient. Can't ask for anything more from them. If you're looking for a trendy spot with contemporary decor and pretentious vibes, this place is not for you. This is an old school steakhouse with red upholstered booths and soft music playing in the background. If you live in the South Bay, and you're looking for a classic prime rib experience, this is a place you should check out.

When I first started coming here, the smallest cut was only $25, which felt like an incredible deal. Prices have gone up over the years, and it's now $37 for the smallest cut, but even with the increase, it's a place I continue to return to because the quality and experience have remained consistently good. I always order the prime rib medium rare with the soup and French fries. The prime rib is consistently delicious, flavorful, and tender, with a rich beefy flavor that really hits the spot. It's cooked just the way I like it, and every visit reminds me why I've been coming back for so many years. The portions are generous, and the meal is satisfying from start to finish. One of the things I appreciate most about this restaurant is its classic atmosphere. The interior feels like a step back in time, with an old-school charm that is becoming harder to find these days. It has the feel of a traditional steakhouse from the 1960s, and the nostalgic vibe adds a lot to the overall dining experience. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a good meal, and appreciate a piece of local history. There is a parking lot available, which is definitely a plus, although it can be surprisingly easy to miss if you're visiting for the first time. Just keep an eye out as you're approaching the restaurant. While I miss the days when the prime rib was only $25, I understand that prices have gone up everywhere. The fact that I've continued coming here for six years says a lot about how much I enjoy the food and atmosphere. If you've never been and you're a fan of prime rib, this is a spot that's well worth checking out at least once. Chances are you'll find yourself planning a return
