Used to come here with friends when it first opened. A great place to hang and grab a burger and a beer. There was an Uber special today so we decided to try delivery. I honestly wasn't expecting much but damn it exceeded my expectations ten fold! I never get delivery much less burgers but wow this burger was perfection. It had quality ingredients and tasted fresh. We also got the tacos. These were shockingly good. The asada was the favorite. Don't sleep on this spot. They are holding it down with their delicious food! read more

On the description it says it comes with tomatoes, lettuce, Monterey Jack, and mayo. It in fact came with none of these. All I got was bread, carne asada, and avocado.

Cashier was completely dismissive. There was no line, but before I could even say a word, I was told to go use the self-order terminal. Fine--but the terminal doesn't even let you order a beer, so I guess no beer for me. Honestly, this might be the last time I come here. The food is good, but the service is seriously lacking. If you're going to force people to use the terminal, at least make sure it can handle everything on the menu. There's no reason to deal with the cashier if that's how you're going to be treated. I recommend going down the street in front of Target. They got great food down there. They may not have beer, but they won't tell you to order at a terminal before you have had a chance to speak. read more

1 Star - Rude, Unprofessional, and Completely Disrespectful We came to The Bucket in Eagle Rock on Mother's Day, thinking it would be a nice way to cap off the evening by supporting a local spot. They close at 10 p.m.--we arrived at 9:30. That apparently was a problem. We approached the window with a warm "hello" and were met with one of the most dismissive, condescending attitudes I've ever encountered. The cashier looked right at us, kept chewing her gum, took a drink of water, and never said a single word. No greeting. No "we're closed." Nothing. Just cold, intentional disrespect. As we stood there stunned, the cook walked by with the exact same energy--completely apathetic and unwelcoming. We looked at each other and immediately decided: there's no way we're giving our money to people who make us feel like a burden for simply existing. The whole encounter was unprofessional and deeply insulting--especially on Mother's Day, of all nights. If your staff doesn't want to serve customers 30 minutes before closing, then adjust your hours. Until then, maybe train them to treat people like actual human beings. We won't be back. Ever. read more

History

Established in 1935.

As a small food stand shaped like a lunch bucket, this Eagle Rock landmark has grown and changed over the years. The friendly neighborhood eatery has been in business since 1935, going through a few color changes, and even a few different owners through the years, it's still the best burger stand in town! Once thought to be forever gone, The Bucket is back! Now under new management, the restaurant is taking its rightful place in Eagle Rock history as the best place to enjoy a great burger and a relaxing glass of local craft beer.

Meet the Manager: Henry G.

Manager of the Bucket.

Hey.. Is this for real? The bucket reopened? I use to go here alot. But the menu looks weird wheres the cardiac or mini cardiac?

Which Bucket? the Original Julio's Bucket didn't have a cardiac or mini cardiac Burger, perhaps it was one of several owners attempts after Julio closed the doors. These guys are same ownership as Great White Hut in Glandale.

Is this the original Bucket? If so I need them to bring back the Julio wings, cardiac and mild cardiac burger ! Please! This is a true east side fat boy staple! East side…

NO not Original Julio is long gone... Now under new ownership, the eatery is run by the team behind burger stand The Great White Hut, The Eastsider reports.

She was incredibly friendly, patient, and informative. I ordered the vegan huevos rancheros, and my husband got the pancake stack with two eggs and a side of bacon. The drinks were fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. My only regret is not ordering a second meal to go because I'm still thinking about it! The ambience is the perfect mix of chill, poppin', and inclusive. Even though it's geared toward a biker crowd, we felt completely accepted and were treated with the utmost care and respect. Plus, it's incredibly pet-friendly--our dog loved sniffing around the grass on the patio. Kudos to the entire team, from the servers and bussers to the chefs. It's clear that management and ownership are doing a phenomenal job, as a great workplace culture always trickles down from the top. This place feels like a well-kept secret, and we can't wait to visit again. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors!

My wife and I stopped here a few weekends back for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed the food. The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.

Try out Johnny's Breakfast Sandwich; the swiss cheese and chipotle aioli make this no ordinary ham+egg+cheese sandwich.

The location is fantastic, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the drinks and food were outstanding. Thank you so much. We will absolutely recommend Prank and keep it on our radar for future events in LA.

The music was awesome, the bartender has a great pour and the people seemed to be really having a great time. As I look around I see there is an open upstairs area that looks down onto the first level. So cool right? I had a conversation with two regulars and they swear by the menu. Plans are made to come back and I must try the food when I do. Cheers!!

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

The food had a perfect balance of flavors. The tacos de papa is topped off with salsa macha but the spice was not overpowering. My favorite was the ribeye taco. The owners and waiter were very welcoming, hospitable and kind. 100000/10!

After our visit, I can see why. We arrived a little later than planned thanks to LA traffic but were still able to get a table. The atmosphere immediately stood out. The space is beautiful, creative, and artsy without feeling pretentious. Since we visited for lunch, we also enjoyed wandering around the surrounding area and exploring the area. Because we were meeting family later and didn't want to spoil dinner, we decided to keep lunch on the lighter side. We started with cocktails and a few dishes to share. My daughter ordered the trout tartare, which she has enjoyed many times before. While it isn't something I would normally order, I can understand why she keeps coming back to it. I chose the Louisiana shrimp with agua chile which was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the biscuits, and honestly, they may have been my favorite part of the meal. Warm, flaky, and served with a creamy butter that somehow tasted even better than butter should. We skipped entrées but couldn't resist dessert. The stout chocolate cake was rich, decadent, and the perfect ending to lunch. By "sharing," I mostly mean I was fortunate enough to get a few bites before my daughter claimed the rest. The service was warm and attentive throughout. With restaurant prices these days, it's refreshing to leave feeling that the quality of the food, service, and overall experience justified the cost. We both agreed it was a wonderful lunch, and a day later I'm still thinking about those biscuits. We'll definitely be back, and next time I'd love to experience a full dinner.
