Cassell's

Cassell’s is so old school it lacks irony. Sure, it might not be as hip as those many overly produced hamburger spots now dotting Los Angeles, but after almost 60 years in business, it doesn’t have to be hip. Those places don’t have burger condiments galore or a potato salad bucking with horseradish flavor. Cassell’s is the kind of place that keeps its clientele loyal and even inspires patrons that do not live in the area to make seasonal pilgrimages, with time-tested indestructible recipes that inspire those $15 hamburger joints to tip their hats in respect. Oh, you don’t feel like hamburgers or milkshakes? Not to worry, they make their lemonade fresh to wash down those tuna melts and ham sandwiches. It’s not open for breakfast or dinner. It is open for lunch.
