The Hat (The Original)

Went to another The Hat in Temple City weeks before and can confirm that the taste and quality are uniform across locations. Ordered the Pastrami Dip again and very satisfied. Good portion of pastrami for the price. If you're trying to be health conscious, split one for two and eat some greens from elsewhere haha. Beware, it can get a little messy to consume.

Insanely good! The portions are gigantic and the sandwiches stick to your ribs. The pastrami is shaved, not those thick diner cuts. Its a perfect dip but also great on a cheeseburger. I would order extra pickles with everything and beware of the large fry, it’s quite large.

Good size lot to park on Order outdoor which is nice, has an Easy Coast window walk-up style feeling. Ordered Chili Fries, Chili Burger, and Potato salad. The fries are very large but can taste bland since there's no cheese or toppings aside from chili, so they're perfect for sharing. Great spot with consistent quality flavors

A must eat experience in Los Angeles! While the hat chain of restaurants has excellent consistency and quality control, it's always fun to go the vintage feel original location. Menus are big and bold, the clients tend to know what the want, and there is ample covered outdoor seating. It's a winner every time. If you like the chili fries, try asking for tomatoes added on top! It's a blast of freshness that helps balance a very rich meal.
