“ Best cheeseburger I’ve had in months, and the malt vanilla shake was ridiculously good! We were staying at Hotel Normandie and saw how popular this burger spot was when we checked in, so we decided to hit it before checking out.. I’m so glad we did! ”
“ I started at the original Casell's in the '80's, when it was further east on 6th street. It was mostly self serve. It is now at 6th and Normadie, where I visited this past weekend. What a great place. The cheeseburger and fries were really good. The gentleman who took my order was very helpful and friendly, and give me the background of how it had moved to the hotel of the next owner. Love this place. I'll be back. ”
“ really good food but pricy kinda! loved the aesthetic both inside and outside. good american diner vibes but mnew and clean. service was nice, staff mostly nice! i got a bfast sandwich and added ham (ham tasted like pastrami) and it came eith a burger bun--i didnt know and they let me change it to sourdough bread instead because i wasnt feeling buns in the first place. my friend really liked her burger too. they have wifi and restroom shared with the hotel next door, really nice! ”
“ I was here twice within the same week I stayed in LA and I have nothing but nice things to say. I came during the weekdays so it was super quiet, the staff is incredibly nice and even recognised me the second time I came. The breakfast burger was tasty but the patty melt was absolutely amazing - I highly recommend. The fries on the side are massive so those are good value for money. I really like the vibe and design of the place too. Would come back if I'm in LA again! ”
“ Classic LA burger joint. Consistently delicious burgers with great sides. Definitely get the onion rings. Also a fun breakfast place. ”
