I drove by this restaurant every Saturday after dropping my son off at his Japanese school and finally I had the opportunity to try it out! I am so good I went because everything served was delicious. They have house chips and dip which was amazing. The pork belly tacos were also delicious. The sauce was the winner. I went for early lunch so it was super quiet but I saw a stage so I can envision this place to be fun at night! I'm excited to try more of their foods the next time.

We went on Saturday night for a holiday party- and it was such a fun time!! We were able to see an 80s band after enjoying some delicious appetizers. The show was amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was great. It's nice to have somewhere with live music so close by.

Great place for comedy and food. Service was great and the events are fun. I really like their drinks!

My second review and just had to do another one. This place from the service to the food and the drinks is excellent. Just hands down 5 stars every time I go.

I was on the fence about 3 or 4 stars Service: This is a highlight. I came in for lunch and the bartender was the only one in front of house. But he was awesome. Food service was super fast also. A major plus for limited lunch time Ambiance Actually a pretty welcoming interior. They moved and increased the size of the stage from its days as Hey19. For whatever reason , it seems so much more inviting , less dark Bar Chimay on tap. Happy days. Someone with good taste Food I ordered one of their sandwiches. It was totally fine, a very nice take on a traditional Philly cheesesteak BUT it didn't include fries. Not sure why I expected it, but no fries ... no chips... just two pickles. For the price they charge i made the erroneous assumption there would be a side. This is why I was leaning towards 3 stars. Not great value for money. But the service and the beer swayed me

So this is our second time here, the first time was about a week ago for the Alfred Robles comedy show. That day I was amazed with the nachos I ordered so I decided to order them again. I also ordered the smoked brisket plate and upgraded the chips to tater tots thanks to our server Julia, who was great at paying attention to myself and wife all night. Their was a live show tonight and the music sounded awesome from the outside patio. Overall the food was great and the brisket was so good I took the leftovers home and plan to make some steak and eggs for breakfast! Our server gave us a run down of the comedians they have had at their venue and we will definitely be making the end our hangout spot in the future!!

Came in on a Tuesday with a couple buddies. Staff was good and were good giving suggestions when asked questions about the menu which is always a good thing. They had Karaoke that night. So if you are willing you can get up and sing. Hopsaint IPA - Crispy and refreshing golden IPA that is very refreshing but yet packs a little punch of hops. Very good! Truffle Cheese Steak - Brisket, truffle cheese, onions, peppers and mushrooms. Sandwich was good but needs a sauce to bring it all together. Bread was a little dry but meat was cooked well and the mushrooms and cheese on top was great. If you are ever around the area give this place a try. Stay hungry my friends.

Consistent, well priced, super staff MUST TRY THE BRISKET it's serious business. This place always has great food and will periodically add a few items which I'm always game to try because they have always exceeded expectations. They do also have fun things to do like comedy night, trivia night, various live music events and sports events. It has made it to my list of favorite spots in the South Bay.

The End is your Dream Bar Part 2: Still Your Dream. Tonight we came for Trivia Night. Mind you, a Wednesday night and the place is PACKED. Half price wine bottles on Wednesday because it's the house of dreams. Food keeps on hitting. Wings, unbelievable. Big ole fat juicy arm flaps. Smoked for hours and fried just slightly to taste. Spicy bbq is thee flavor. Spaghetti and Meatballs, bomb. Fire meatballs if you want just the app. And then the Ahi Tacos, *chefs kiss emoji*. Not gonna lie, we were super skeptical on the Ahi and it was the best thing we ate tonight. I wish other places didn't exist so I could go to The End everyday. Oh yeah, and Trivia was awesome and a ton of fun.

I've had this place on my South Bay eats bookmarks for a while. Was down in the area and decided to check it out. Lots of screens. It was pretty quiet but it was also 12:30. I had the truffle Philly and I can say holy sh*t. It is legit!! The roll was spot on. I'll be back when I'm in the area again

I came here to say goodbye to a former coworker who was moving away. It's a little hole in the wall and great place to come to if you're looking to hang out and listen to live music. They have small bands and musicians come out and perform. Their food is delicious. I like their ahi tacos and mushroom pizza as well as buffalo and barbecue wings. I don't drink so I can't speak on alcohol. The servers were nice. I did see one of the guys who had my tacos did not know that I ordered the tacos and had to ask 2 different servers who ordered the tacos. I noticed there was a communication break but it didn't affect the food quality and the food wasn't cold. I think this is a nice little place to go to if you're looking to listen to great music and have a bite or two. Oh and to drink.

Beer me. Chimay for the Mr. and IPA for the meeee!

This is The End, beautiful friend... We were looking to enjoy some cold beer and maybe a little football too. Thursday evening wasn't at all busy - bar seating was full but lots of available tables. Austin greeted us and we settled on an IPA and Chimay Triple as we perused the menu and talked about Summertime barbeque. My guy has an incredible barbecue talent. His bbq rubs in my opinion, should be bottled and sold and he taught me there is much more to bbq sauce than what can be bought in bottles. At the time we met, silver skin wasn't in my vocabulary and I learned a good smoking would produce a layer of beautiful pink flesh that to this day I judge all other barbecue. Every summer he invites his crew over for summer slow roasted apple or cherry wood smoked barbecue ribs, tri-tip and brisket that's always rubbed with his custom spices and sauces hand blended for their diverse palates; mild to spicy and one special sauce made with the Carolina Reaper peppers he grows in his container garden. Yup, he's the bbq king in my world. The End has a nifty menu, something for everyone and we were told they take pride in their barbecue. We started with the tomato soup that was good but much better with a hearty sprinkle of S and P. The goat cheese bruschetta was tasty but I couldn't help but think it would have been amazing if the topping didn't appear over marinated. Our mains were the Garlic Cream pizza (Austin's suggestion) and the brisket with a side of fresh house made coleslaw. The pizza was garlicky creamy yumminess - but note if you prefer pizza with veg and/or protein, I'd recommend ordering something else. Perfect size for one, very tasty and for sure consuming this will ensure the vampires stay away. The brisket was not a hit tonight. Good but not smokey pink good and disappointing served with refrigerator cold barbecue sauce. Equally disappointing was the coleslaw. It was super fresh and shredded to perfection but it lacked the creamy sweet, celery seed vinegary dressing that makes it wonderful. Terrific for beer and lots of options for eats. I hear the cover bands are super entertaining - a good reason to visit again.

The food was really good. Happy hour until 6pm. $6 well drinks and 10 house cocktails on their menu. Service is great as well, family owned and operated.

My 3 friends and I decided to check this place out for trivia on Wed last week for the first time. I had the brisket which was too peppery for my taste. My friends seemed to like the pizza (even though it looked kinda burnt to me), and the hamburgers and fries. We also got a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine, which we paid full price for. We found out when we went back the following week for trivia, that wine bottles are 50% off on Weds. Why we were overcharged $38 the week before and not informed of the wine being 50% off is really off-putting to say the least. It feels like they knew we were new customers and so, not being aware of the special, took advantage of us by charging us full price. The acoustics are terrible and Jerry, the trivia host, is great but it's hard to hear what he's saying because there's so much echo. If we can get comped the $38 we were overcharged we might try again...otherwise we'll head to American Junkie in Hermosa or OB's in Manhattan Beach for their Wed trivia. Too bad because this place is right in our neighborhood. read more

I came here for the first time about a week ago for the Probable Cause show and was very pleasantly surprised. The layout is great for live entertainment -- no sightline issues and a fairly wide stage set up at one end. Not only was the food good for a music venue, but it was very good - PERIOD. Because of its fairly modest price, I thought my pizza would be appetizer- sized but it was plenty for a full meal and surprisingly good. While I didn't have any liquor, their selection is strong and the beer selection offers plenty of options that are fairly priced. Live entertainment venues aren't usually known for their service, but the service here was attentive and friendly. read more

The food here is really good. They do a very good job of not only sourcing high quality ingredients, but preparing each dish with a very nice presentation. In terms of atmosphere, this is a large restaurant. They have numerous interior tables, as well as some exterior tables, as well. They also have a very nice bar area. Their seating is all very well spaced so you never feel like you're sitting too close to any other customer. This gives you the space to feel comfortable having conversations with whomever you're with. On certain night in the evening, they actually bring in a band. Not your traditional mariachi band or anything like that. But, a band that performs some really interesting takes on both traditional and modern Latin music. The staff here are all super nice. They're happy to help you out with whatever you need. And, they do a really good job doing their job. One thing to know about this restaurant is that they're currently offering Sunday brunch beginning at 9:00 AM. I know the sign outside says that the brunch doesn't begin till 11:00 AM. But, don't let that fool you. They actually are opening at 9:00 AM. Meaning, you can come in here on Sunday morning and have a really great breakfast. Overall, if you're in the Old Torrance area, and you want to have some great Latin inspired food, this may be your place to go.

The server who kept refilling our drinks recommended we order french fries to dip into the chicken paillard sauce since we raved about it. That was a good suggestion since we were sharing the dish.

After reading reviews, I came specifically for the Fish & Chips, and they absolutely delivered. But before I get to that, the service deserves a shout-out. From the hostess who greeted us to our server throughout the meal, everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and disappeared fast. Then came the Fish & Chips. The fish was crispy, golden brown, and cooked perfectly. What really surprised me was the portion size. These weren't little pieces of fish hiding under a pile of fries--they were massive pieces of cod. My wife and I couldn't stop laughing at how much fish they served. To top it all off, we shared the key lime pie, and it was outstanding. Smooth, creamy, and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, parking was easy with plenty of paid options nearby, and every part of the experience felt polished without feeling pretentious. Finding a restaurant that nails the food, service, and overall experience isn't always easy, but Salt & Pearl checked every box for us. Safe to say we've already found a reason to come back. Pro tip: If you're ordering the Fish & Chips, come hungry. Those cod portions are no joke.

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.

I've been going to the San Franciscan for the past six years, and it's still one of my favorite…read morespots for prime rib. 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

It had a lunch special menu which showed several special items at a very affordable price. We picked the Negitoro Bowl from this special menu (at half of the regular price). The tuna had a balanced fat and was minced in a manner that I felt it melt in my mouth. It's a good match with rice. The Kaisen Bowl had a variety of seafoods and all of them tasted very fresh! The salty fish roe made the rice more flavorful. The Kaisen Bowl came with a miso soup and a salad. We also ordered a soba which was well cooked. We definitely will go back to try more dishes!

I came to The End Bar & Lounge for line dancing on a Thursday night, and now it's my weekly tradition! Even as a complete beginner who had never tried line dancing before, I felt right at home. The night kicks off with an instructor and a DJ from 7-9 PM, making it super easy to learn the steps and join in. Then, from 9-11 PM, the energy ramps up with a live performance by Cobra Cowboy. The vibe is incredible--by the time the band starts, the place transforms into a true country bar. You'll find people in boots, big smiles, and a whole lot of fun on the dance floor. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just looking to try something new, this is hands-down the best spot for line dancing in South Bay. If you're into country music, good vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere, The End on Thursday nights is a must-visit! read more

Not a pleasant experience. While the beer I had was decent, the atmosphere left much to be desired. The bar was a little dirty, and there was a weird odor that lingered in the air. The overall cleanliness of the establishment was not up to par, and it was a bit of a turnoff. While the staff was friendly, it didn't make up for the overall uncleanliness of the bar.
