Little Bear

What a GREAT burger and beer! Life is good at Little Bear. My husband and I ventured into LA for two days and decided to give the restaurant a try.

We weren't very hungry, so we decided to split a burger and salad. It was the perfect amount. The meat in the burger was delicious; the balance of condiments, meat, and bun was perfect. The endive salad was very savory and dressed lightly as to highlight the actual salad. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the beers and made two awesome recommendations. The wait staff was also quite friendly. We will certainly make it back here.

Much better. I've mentioned in my past reviews that I live nearby.. so it's really hard not to keep trying this place every so often to see if it improves. Well... this time was much better. My waitress was great; attentive, helpful and very nice. The food was half good, half eh.

The smoked salmon bruschetta was great, the moules frites were okay... but the fries tasted like they had been sitting out awhile and the little bear burger was okay at best.

But.. for me, the beer at little bear is what you come for.. not the food.. and beer selection is always very nice.

worst wait staff of all time, worse than church & state.

the only restaurant in i know where you get no greeting, just blank empty stares from employees who hate their job and don't respect the patrons.

the management is always the problem with bad restaurants like this.  
a restaurant is people, and little bear has chosen some real deadbeats as employees.

no service, no greeting, no nothing.  just a bunch of losers working there who apparently think it's cool to have an attitude.

this craphole also blasts TOXIC, POISONOUS exhaust at the neighbors and patrons as they walk up the street, which is illegal and not permitted.

today i sat down at the bar at 5PM for 7 minutes while some moron with an apron literally ignored me the entire time.   what an idiot.   kept walking by.  walked by again.  walked back to the bar where i was sitting, then turned his back (for the 2nd time) on me while he was counting some peanuts.  i've never seen anything like it, this d-bag is literally in a coma.  hey guess what deadbeats, some people actually come to restaurants because they're hungry, and some people actually have a life to get back to.  

the longest wait of all time, the most being ignored in a restaurant of all time.  
i am not exaggerating people.

this is who you hire to serve food to people??????

little bear hasn't changed much.   it seemed like there was improvement over the past year, but not really.  this place is genuinely bad, like it's predecessor, no one who works here cares.  when they serve you rotten food, and you send it back, there's no apology.  

BOTTOM OF THE BARREL, a wannabe restaurant.

The Little Bear is in the wrong neighborhood. Northridge or Sylmar would be better for this place. Whoever designed the concept for this place is an idiot.  They have no idea how lame the concept is for the arts district, because they are lame.  Lame breeding more lame, hiring lame.  

Why don't you get your employees too wake the F up from the coma they live in?

JESUS.
