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
