In
Play de Rey,
a Los Angeles beach community between El
Segundo and Marina del Rey, there are a
handful of neighborhood restaurants and
bars that include Outlaws, Catalini's
(Salerno Beach) Italian restaurant,
Tanner's Coffee, Mo's and a few others.
Outlaws sits on the corner of Culver
just a few blocks from the beach. You
can recognize it by its cowboy sign and
wall mural of a guy leaned back wearing
jeans, plaid shirt and boots, big
Stetson hat, and holding a foam-drenched
mug of beer. Often you will see
expensive motorcycles parked outside so
you get the idea that this is a friendly
road stop with easy parking for the
traveling crowd.
Outlaws is home to the gigantic, two
pound Desperado hamburger. The interior
decor is rustic, clean, with checkered
tablecloths, a well-stocked bar, a wall
with the "Outlaw Library", and a great
view patio deck upstairs overlooking the
local scene.
Barbeque pork ribs, steak, fish such
as snapper, salmon, shrimp and Alaskan
King crab legs, and hearty food
(sometimes a plate comes with french
fries for four).
Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner,
many of the items on the menu are named
after outlaws of the Old West days.
Clyde Barrow, Wyatt Earp, Jesse James,
Sam Bass and Sundance are but a few of
the sandwiches that are quite
contemporary in ingredients. They
include chicken, turkey, tuna, or BLT.
Breakfast menu is the full spectrum
of eggs, omelets, and the hearty side of
morning faire.
Dinner includes the burgers, but adds
on entrees such as steak and fish.
The restaurant isn't fancy--it's
cozy, clean and friendly. The food is
pretty good, and the setting is
idea--it's a local flavor option to get
you out of the chain dining experience
and into beach local pleasure.
If you are looking for something for everyone, Outlaws Bar &
Grill has a full cocktail bar, full menu all day and into
the night, and when evening comes, the restaurant transforms
into a fun, evening place to go.
