Master Critic Review

Ray's 7.7
Sawtelle
Old-school West L.A. counter joint where straightforward charbroiled burgers and melts are the point. The patties come hot off the grill with classic toppings, and the breakfast-burger crossover energy is part of the charm. No-frills seating and a loyal neighborhood crowd keep the focus on the food.
Must-Try Dishes: Double Western Cheeseburger, Mushroom Swiss Burger, Patty Melt
