Outlaws Bar & Grill

In Short – A Western theme is pervasive at this self-described "grubbin' an' guzzlin' establishment," replete with cowboy art, red- and white-checked tablecloths, and a menu priced in bucks and bits. Wood paneling, haggard stucco ceilings and a room lined with bookshelves add a homey touch. Stick-to-yer-ribs fare includes barbecue chicken, and the legendary mammoth hamburgers, crowned with hearty toppings like blue cheese and bacon. –

Best burgers

by queennora

My husband and I eat here weekly. The food is great and enough to feed a small army. The staff is always happy to see you and makes you feel like family. There is one chick who works there who is slow as molasses and good luck getting her attention when you are trying to get your check but the food is great and I've never had a bad meal there.

Pros: Huge portions, friendly staff
Cons: Some of the staff is a little flaky.

Best Turkey Burger Ever! (PLEASE NOTE, the

by arealcalinative

Outlaw's turkey burger is the best turkey burger on the Westside, if not all of Southern California. Don't get me wrong, their blue cheese burger & bbq burger are delectible, but the turkey burger is the one to salivate over. Service & decor is casual - no frills, but the smart peeps would never go to a burger/steak joint for that. I recommend sitting outside, enjoying the seabreeze and the beautiful sunny-then-cloudy weather Playa Del Rey loves to offer. Although it would seem that this joint was made only for the locals, they do cater to tourists & visitors as well. Leave the attitude at home - Playa Del Rey will not respond well to attitudes. This is becoming an issue with the recent monstrosity that is so called "Playa Vista" and the fools that have drunken the kool-aid & moved in.

Hmm, I wonder if the housing being built on ANCIENT BURIAL GROUNDS has anything to do with it.

Think about it.

Avoid unless you like bad bar food

by lookie_lew

Here is a place where the menu is obviously over the head of this bar owner. I was in a steak mood, ordered the 16oz porterhouse which came with a salad, bread, "starch" and a veggie for $28. Seemed like a good deal. Salad was OK, roll was as stale and cold as a brick. Ask the waiter to get some fresh bread. He went to the kitchen and brought back a micro waved version of the same bread saying the folks in the kitchen insisted it was fresh. FOOD RULE #1 NEVER NUKE BREAD. The "16" oz porterhouse couldn't have been over 10 oz's - cut only 1/2 inch thick and obviously had been frozen as it was mealy, dry and gristly ? this must have been an ?institutional? grade of meat not even suitable to be ground for hamburger. The baked potato was cold and the sour cream, dried up chives and butter were served in paper thumb cups that were so small they had to use two for each topping. The veggie I selected, ?mexi-corn? was canned corn mixed with canned green chilies.

The place is cozy and if all you want is a beer and some chicken strips this could be your place, otherwise don?t waste your time or your appetite.

Pros: OK for a beer and fries - anything else - forget it
Cons: Operator has no concept of food quality - just a bar

Stick with the burgers

by smooph

I have eaten here several times, had a burger the first couple of times and loved it- but had a steak the other night and found it to be both overpriced and overcooked. Also, I would say that the better bet is outside on the patio during the day- lunch burgers are much less expensive, and the indoor atmosphere is kind of "meh"... the burgers are awfully good though, and they have a very good selection of bottled beers.

Pros: Burgers, patio, close to the beach
Cons: steak wasn't good, don't order a glass of wine (don't know what i was thinking)
