Casual restaurant serving fried and roasted chicken along with burgers, corn ribs, and more.
"For a taste of Josiah Citrin’s cooking without paying Michelin-starred-Citrin prices, head over to his casual chicken and burger spot, Augie’s on Main. Located on a busy strip of Santa Monica, Augie’s offers approachable dishes done well, like Citrin’s classic “dirty” chicken, a two-hands-required cheeseburger, hot dogs, and a chopped salad. To feed a group at home, order the family pack, which comes with dirty chicken, a chopped salad, two sauces, and a choice of two sides like mashed potatoes, corn ribs, and French fries. Order directly on Augie’s on Main’s website, or through a delivery service like Uber Eats or Doordash." - Rebecca Roland

The dishes might seem a little scattershot but everything is cooked much better than it needs to be and at inflation-resistant prices." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang
