LA Restaurants Try to Draw New Diners With Separate Outdoor Menus | Eater LA
"Launched mid-October in the parking lot adjacent to All Day Baby, this weekend-only, charming al fresco operation was created out of necessity by Lien Ta and partners and features an 11-item menu from All Day Baby chef Jonathan Whitener with every dish priced under $27; it runs with a deliberately limited staff (Ta plus two servers and a bartender) who must use a crosswalk and take extra safety precautions, and despite the logistical challenges I find producing Helluva Time dinners a joyful way to introduce regular guests to something different while appealing to a new neighborhood crowd." - Mona Holmes
Second time here. This place is awesome 🤩. Great beer 🍻 and great food. We get the pretzel when we come here and it’s always good. If you’re in the area this place is the way to go, get to cool down with a refreshing beer and good food. Server have always been super nice and kind. And love their beers on can. Jordan is the man you want as a waiter! Awesome server 👏🏼

Stopped in for an early dinner this evening. Had a nice dark beer(Up in Smoke) and the chips and corn queso dip. Service was great and the food came out super fast. I like going here because it’s a relaxed environment and they always have good sports on the TVs.
Update 2/27/2025. Stopped in for happy hour. Had their darkest beer, which was wonderful along with corn dogs that had brats inside. They were very good.

Just had another fantastic meal at Helluva!
Big shout out to Tony and his entire team there.. The salmon was cooked to perfection, the chilli was next level (I’m already thinking about the next time I can order some). the selection of beer is on-point and it’s all wrapped up in a friendly environment with a booming local vibe. Thanks again.👊🏻😊

This makes the second time I've been to Helluva with the guys and it's the second time I haven't been let down 😊 It's rare to find a place with good beer AND good food. In our case, the raspberry ale-brined wings were amazingly delicious and juicy. Our server was straight up when we sat down and told us they were short a couple folks and asked for our patience...thankfully, we were there to enjoy ourselves - and that's exactly what we did!

Awesome atmosphere, great burgers, and yummy cheese dip! Service was good, and there were a lot of home-brewed beers to pick from. Coleslaw was a bit odd... probably won't get that again/recommend it. Tasty (waffle) fries. Excited to go back!

Stopped in on Halloween to get something to eat. I had the Chipotle pasta bowl. Wow it was tasty. But what really sells it, is the great staff. Hannah and Kami at the bar were both so helpful and "spirited", I'll be back for sure.

Absolutely love coming here. One of my go to breweries. They always have great beer, wonderful service & good food! But I’ll only go when Hannah is working. She’s the best bartender!!
