Here's my review: One of the best burgers I've had. They definitely have a "foodie" pedigree. Much better than the nearby Counter IMHO (and that's saying a lot). Decor-wise they have a Witco stool displayed in a place of prominence as well as a Thor painting. The set-up is like eating in someones living room, they even have TV trays. They plan future Tiki events in the parking lot. At one point they had the Ding Dong Devils lined up. Their mascot reminds me of a Tiki Pickaninny. Cool !! I'll be back. :)

I don't even know what vegan means but I'll probably try it at some point just to be a Tiki burger completist. :) I initially ordered the Kobe beef burger but they ran out of that. Instead I had the standard Angus beef burger which was so good, it boggles my mind to imagine what the much more expensive Kobe burger tastes like. The only disappointing thing was that they don't serve beer. They did say I could go buy one at the market across the street and bring it back.

We live one block away on Ocean Park... We dug it!! Great burgers and vibe. Been back a few times since. How about a band in the parking lot to bring in the folks?

My 13 year-old had the Shaka Burger and dug it again. The soon to be 12 year-old had a Shaka Burger but didn't like the new sauce. New? We had it twice before and no issue. Whatever, He's 11 7/8... They have a cool longboard inspired table/bar to eat at now. Fun joint!

Falernum Posted posted on Thu, Jan 12, 2012 8:44 PM Just went with Sotally Tober tonight after reading JOHN-O's review. Delicious. We had the chicken burger and the black bean burger. Both were quite tasty. We'll definitely go back!

J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on Fri, Jan 13, 2012 11:17 AM Burger Hater !! :evil: Actually I'm not sure where this thread really belongs now. The owners originally posted here since the opening was kind of an "event". The overall aesthetics of the place probably aren't Tiki enough to justify the thread being relocated to the General Forum or Locating Tiki. And burgers are really not Tiki Food. They do however appear to be Tikiphile-friendly and their logo is a cartoon Tiki. How about this?... Every Friday at 11:30am will be a Tiki Central burger meetup !! :) I'm leaving right now to drop off a Glasgow Tiki Shakers CD.
