About us

Since our opening in 1947, we've been proud to be a landmark in the San Fernando Valley, serving traditional American classics to our Sherman Oaks guests. From our fresh salads and lunchtime sandwiches to our steak dishes and gourmet burgers, we're serving a variety of delicious comfort food the whole family will love. We also boast a world-class bar that was custom crafted in the 1800s and now entertains and pleases patrons while they celebrate their special occasions. Whether guests are celebrating a rehearsal dinner or hosting a business lunch, our dedicated staff will ensure everyone has a delicious and memorable time.
