Restaurant Review: The Apple Pan

The Apple Pan is an L.A. establishment since 1927. There are no tables just a U-Shaped counter in which you have to wait for someone to get up to grab a seat and you better move quick as they are hard to come by. It is cash only and they still use the old-school cash register.

In my opinion The Apple Pan has the best Egg-Salad Sandwhich in SoCal, it is a generous heap of egg salad and lettuce with pickle chips and olives on the side. The burgers are also solid, the Steakbuger comes with the Apple Pan sauce which is kind of a relishy ketchup sauce. The Hickoryburger comes doused in bbq sauce. The fries are great and you can finish it off with a fresh slice of apple or pecan pie. Drinks are served in snow cone style cups placed in a chilled metal holder. My boy Hector was running the counter last time I went and watching him operate with a generally grumpy attitude is a pleasure.

If you want classic L.A. you have to hit the Apple Pan. Burgers and sandwiches run from $6 - $8 which might be a little high but you are also paying for the experience.
