LIttle O/T: Dinner near LAX

[matty744]

Does anybody have some good suggestions for some good food places relatively near to LAX that we could duck out of the airport for? We will have around 3hrs spare incl travel to/from airport..

Unless you were really willing to rush things, there are some nice places down at Marina Del Ray.

However with 3 hours spare I personally wouldnt really be risking things as some terminals have horendous line ups for TSA clearance (depends what day of the week, weekdays and Sunday evenings can be shokers at LAX)

In-n-Out runs are popular at LAX airport.

IN-N-OUT Burger


There's even a Youtube video on it:

Granted that's probably not the sort of food you're after tho

Marina Del Ray and Venice are but a 10 mins drive away from LAX and there's some really nice stuff there. You ought to be able to find something down Abbott Kinney.

Slightly further afield in Santa Monica - I highly recommend The Counter for fab burgers. Blows In-N-Out right out of the water any time of the day.

Ah, the In-N-Out Burger run. I've always wanted to but never have enough time.

Do the in-n-out run and make sure you pick up a t-shirt

If you don't want to travel too far, then try The Encounter Restaurant right at the airport.

Or for a reasonable Chinese meal, try P.F. Changs, which is only about 5-10 mins from the airport.

*puts on my best Summer Roberts impersonation* PF Changs?.... eww! :shock:

YMMV... I s'pose. :shock:

Thanks for the replies. Looks like The Encounter is closed on a monday night as thats where we wanted to go originally but one of the guys traveling with us is really keen to have a good old american burger so looks like that might be the go.

Hey, I did say "reasonable" ... interpret that as you like!

But it is handy to LAX.
