Public School 310

Great vibes. The service was on point, prompt, helpful, welcoming. The cocktail was delish. The steak with chimichuri was a good size & price. Delectable & perfectly cooked medium rare. Perfect spot to hang out with friends or on a date.

Call me a member of The Beatles because I was a-Paul-ed by the service my friends and I received tonight. While we were about to be seated one of the hosts, blonde woman with tattoos was communicating with the other about our party and I heard her whisper “put them in the back”. We were then seated and then we ordered truffle fries for the table. After they brought them out we were planning on eating there but not once did a waiter come to our table or ask if we were doing good. We ate the fries and then waited a bit longer to see if maybe we’d be helped but then I had to waive down a waitress to even look at our table to bring us the check. Worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant.

This a review is focused on Public School 310's Impossible Burger. I don't eat Impossible products all the time, but I think this Burger easily stands out because it has character. The choice of ingredients results in a well-thought out veggie burger. The arugula and peppered mushrooms are complimented by the tomato jam, which leans on the sweeter side. It doesn't overpower the other flavors. The parmesan crisp is a great touch and adds a new texture layer: crunchy. The brioche is fresh and delicious. I've also ordered multiple appetizers and sides. Their tots are really great, I recommend those. As I mentioned, I've visited throughout the years to order this meal and always had a good customer service experience. The atmosphere is great, and the decor gives a cozy / creative vibe.

I didn’t get his name but there is a person who is the manager but also sometimes sees the tables he is this super lovely men really nice men. I really appreciated him. He is the absolute best. The waiters are similarly super nice and welcoming. I loved their onion rings as well.

Still a solid 3 stars. Not amazing, but it’s “meh”. It’s a meal. I ordered the Torta de Carnitas with a side of Mac & Cheese and the fried pickles. The pickles were so salty. I’m not sure if it’s the brand of pickles they are using or if the batter itself is heavily salted, but I could only get through 6 pieces before I had to give them up. The Torta de Carnitas is literally just a sandwich, and not a great one. It’s on a multigrain (or whole wheat) ciabatta, with more lettuce than anything else. There was minimal carnitas in it and minimal sauce. Overall, the sandwich was incredibly dry. The pickled onions added a strange ‘zing’ which didn’t work out, so I pulled them all out of the sandwich. Sad that it wasn’t worth it.

I was here a few months ago and had one of the best burgers that I have ever had. I told myself that it couldn't be as good as I thought. So I have gone back 2 more times because I thought it could not be as good as I thought. Well the burger was as good as I first thought.On my last visit I gave a recommendation to 3 other people in my group. Everyone LOVED this burger. We went to old town Culver City to goto public school. The whole experience was 2 thumbs up. This is now my go to place for a Great Burger.

Cool spot to hang out. Happy hour has some good options.

The food tastes good, but the portions are small and expensive. See the impossible burger with fries in my pictures. I put the fork on the burger for scale. Smaller than a burger serving when you buy impossible burgers in the store. For $19 + tax and tip I expect to be full on a burger and fries, not wondering why it's only a little bigger than a slider. It did taste good, though. I skipped the Parmesan crisp. My hubby and son got the naked wings, also very small appetizer, and Ahi avocado tacos. The tacos were like little sushi things, liked cute It was difficult to get the waiter's attention, and took a very long time to order. They have long tables for groups to share out front.

I've been to Public School 310 in Culver City several times, always for happy hour, and it's consistently a great experience. My most recent visit was last month for an LA Tri Club happy hour. One thing I appreciate about this spot is the nearby Cardiff parking garage, which usually makes parking pretty convenient. However, on this particular day downtown Culver City was hosting a festive holiday event and the area was packed. I decided to play it safe and take an Uber or Lyft, and I'm glad I did because traffic in the area can get hectic during events. Public School 310 has a fun, upscale bar vibe that makes it a great place to unwind and socialize. While I don't recall ever ordering food here, the drinks are always solid. During my last visit, I asked for a "sweet mocktail," and the bartender brought me a Lavender Lemonade. It was absolutely delightful - refreshing, balanced, and perfect for a relaxed evening out. The event itself was a success, and I'm so thankful Public School accommodates larger groups. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff managed to keep things running smoothly and made sure everyone in our party was taken care of. Whether you're dropping by for happy hour, meeting up with friends, or attending a group event, Public School 310 is a solid choice in downtown Culver City. I'm looking forward to coming back soon, and maybe next time I'll finally try some of the food!

I came here on a Friday night with 2 other people, we had no reservation but were able to be seated immediately anyways! For an appetizer, we got their pretzel bites (not pictured) and those were very good. It came with a delicious beer cheese and some kind of spicy mustard. The spicy mustard was sooo good. This appetizer was the perfect size for our group of 3. For my entree, I got the turkey burger (added bacon) and a side of sweet potato fries. I wasn't a big fan of the turkey burger. It tasted like a lot of competing flavors while still also being pretty flavorless. I did enjoy the sweet potato fries. A meal for 3 people, which included 3 entrees, 1 appetizer, and 3 fountain drinks was around ~$107 (not including tip). We parked in The Culver Steps parking garage which is right across the street from the restaurant.

I like the idea behind the name of this restaurant. I viewed the menu online before going for girls day out. Due to a "new principal " the have reduced hours and only a brunch menu on Sundays. I ordered the public school burger and sweet potato fries. The burger and sweet potatoes were good. Our waiter Javier was attentive. If mistakes were made he was quick to fix them. I parked in the structure behind the restaurant, parking was only $4 bucks for about 3 hours. There was no validation. Will i return, probably not.

Still a solid 3 stars. Not amazing, but it's "meh". It's a meal. I ordered the Torta de Carnitas with a side of Mac & Cheese and the fried pickles. The pickles were so salty. I'm not sure if it's the brand of pickles they are using or if the batter itself is heavily salted, but I could only get through 6 pieces before I had to give them up. The Torta de Carnitas is literally just a sandwich, and not a great one. It's on a multigrain (or whole wheat) ciabatta, with more lettuce than anything else. There was minimal carnitas in it and minimal sauce. Overall, the sandwich was incredibly dry. The pickled onions added a strange 'zing' which didn't work out, so I pulled them all out of the sandwich. Sad that it wasn't worth it.

Came in close to closing time and Evon was amazing! she was really knowledgeable about the menu, and she never made us feel rushed or like we needed to hurry which was so nice. she was friendly and attentive, and we will definitely be back to see her.

Looking for a reliable place to park? Trader Joe's is nearby. A short walk will take you to the restaurant. You can also walk around the area and see all that it has to offer. BREADED FRIED PICKLES round breaded pickles in corn meal served with ranch dressing OH. MY. GOSH. I devoured an entire order of fried pickles dipped in ranch dressing and I'm still reeling from the experience. I've had my fair share of addictive appetizers, but this? This is on a other level. First of all, the fried pickles themselves are a revelation. Crispy, crunchy, and simultaneously chewy and fluffy, they're the perfect vessel for ranch dressing's creamy, tangy goodness. And let's not even get started on the flavor - it's like a party in your mouth! The sweetness of the pickles balances out the savory of the ranch, creating this incredible, familiar, and exciting new harmony. But here's the thing: I couldn't stop eating them. I know I should've stopped after one or two, but NOPE. I just kept going back for more and more and MORE. Before I knew it, the basket was empty and I craved more. I mean, what's going on here? Is it the magic of the fried pickles themselves? Ranch dressing is addictive? The sheer genius of combining the two? Whatever it is, I'm hooked. If you haven't tried these yet, do yourself a favor and get to Public School ASAP. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. PRETZEL BITES pretzel bites served with house-made beer cheese & BBQ mustard They had some positive qualities but ultimately fell short for me. The crunch on the outside was delicious - I love crunchin my pretzels! But, unfortunately, they were too salty for my taste. I mean, I like salt, but these were overpowering. It made it hard to appreciate the pretzel flavor. The house-made beer cheese and BBQ mustard were nice touches, but even they couldn't save the pretzels from their salty fate. If you're sensitive to salt, you might want to steer clear of these. But if you don't mind strong salt flavors, you might enjoy them. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BURGER LTO, pickle, american cheese, spicy ketchup, mustard bbq, brioche bun A burger that promised much, but ultimately fell flat. The beef patty, unfortunately, was dry and lacked the juiciness one would hope for from a burger. And to make matters worse, the brioche bun was overcooked, losing its softness and becoming stale and crumbly. The toppings, which included lettuce, pickle, American cheese, spicy ketchup, and mustard BBQ sauce, did their best to elevate the dish, but ultimately couldn't compensate for the poor execution of the burger itself. The spicy ketchup and BBQ sauce added a tangy kick, but it was a small consolation for the overall disappointment. Despite its promising ingredients, the Public School Burger was a letdown that left this reviewer craving something more. And our waitress was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing meal. She was friendly and attentive, refilling our drinks and checking in on us regularly without being intrusive. Her warm smile and cheerful demeanor made us feel welcome and valued, making us almost forget about the subpar burger. If only the food had lived up to the promise of the atmosphere and service, the BREADED FRIED PICKLES might have been a real winner. As it stands, it's a reminder that even the best restaurants can have an off day.

Had the pb&j sliders and truffle fries during happy hour. The flavor was amazing! If I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely be back.

Came here with a few friends to celebrate St. Patrick's day for brunch. They have a few good deals for brunch. The first is their almost bottomless mimosas in which you get 2 carafes of mimosas for $18. This was easily over 6 glasses, but they felt a little diluted to me. However, for that price, you really can't beat it. The second is the juice box mimosas where you get a bottle of prosecco, and two juices to mix with it for $25. The juices were awesome and at least you know what you're getting with this deal. I got the loco moco which was kinda small, and weirdly just a regular burger. Usually it is more of a Salisbury steak kind of deal, so this was different, but the gravy was good. Just not as expected. My friend on the other hand, under my pressure got the matcha chicken and waffles. The chicken was extremely small and I'm honestly surprised they served that. Another friend got a chicken sandwich and the chicken in his sandwich was way bigger and came with fries. The waffle wasn't even close to green and did not have any matcha flavor in it. We sat outside, so not sure if that was the issue but the service was a bit slow, but at least we had our entire carafes to keep us company. They also were kind enough to dye our mimosas green for St. Patrick's day. Overall, the deal is good for drinks, but the food is hit or miss, especially with some of the sizing and portions.

Public school 310 is a great chill bar / restaurant in the heart of Culver City. When you walk in, you definitely see the school vibe that the name is based off of which is pretty cool. The restaurant is overall large with lots of seats and a good size bar portion if anyone just wants to chill there. Our server was pretty amazing! He was great with conversation and very attentive. Each staff member that we interacted with were super nice and made sure we were taken care of. For the menu, they have a good selection of choices. They even have a reasonable happy hour menu which has great selections. For food, I ordered the salmon, rice and asparagus which I so appreciated that it was even an option on the menu. A few people with me chose the burger which was a large portion and delicious. This is a great place for any occasion. I highly recommend.

This was such a disappointing meal and it's truly unfortunate because I heard nothing but good things from PS - at least pre pandemic Went to PS on Friday night. Immediately walking to the front, the patio smelled like a homeless encampment. The scent of musk, dirt, and urine immediately hit our noses. Normally i wouldnt hold PS accountable for this as it is in the heart of downtown culver BUT it really smelled as if PS made no efforts to wash down the patio from whatever the stench was. Before getting to the host, I looked around at those dining on the patio and wondered how they were able to eat and enjoy their meal with this stench Luckily the host sat us inside so the smell wasnt much of a problem The second issue I had with this meal was the waiter. HE WAS SUCH A DICK. I get that it's a Friday night and he was running around taking orders and giving people their meals but he was such an asshat After we were seated and he made his first rounds to ask our order we asked him for just a couple more minutes. He comes back and starts with me, I ordered the salmon with double asparagus and asked for the non alcoholic arepol spritz. It's important to note, he didnt ask us for our drink orders. I took it upon myself to request mine. He then takes my friends order and after she gives him her entree order he immediately sprints away. Looking at me a little lost, she mentions he didnt ask her if she wanted a drink. So, we flag him down. He comes over all huffy and she says, you didnt take down my drink order. And he responded curtly, you didnt give me one. I was floored. I couldnt believe that was his answer, not an apology, or an excuse was offered (because of the business) just a curt ass rude response, "you didnt give me one" I definitely wont be back

Today we went in to celebrate my son's 21st birthday. We let the host know that we wanted to do drinks and dessert and we were seated in the bar area. It took the server a while to get to us as they seemed understaffed. We mentioned to our server that we were celebrating my son's bday and we'd like to get dessert when we finished our drinks and she listed off the available desserts. We ordered our drinks and it took quite a while to get them. I ordered the "Prom Night" cocktail and I was sooooo disappointed. My drink just tasted like lime and was definitely not worth $14. The best part of the drink was the Tajín rim in the glass. We never saw our server again and I had to go find her to pay the bill. We didn't even get to order a dessert for my son's birthday. Based on the service and the quality of the drinks I would not return.

Came here for lunch and immediately were taken to our seats. Ordered fried pickles for the table which were delicious. For lunch I got Jess's burger which I recommend, if you're not a fan of spice you can ask for the onion jalepeno jam on the side. The burger came with this delicious herb goat cheese which complimented the turkey burger. The restaurant has great outdoor seating and has a really cute set up playing into the school vibe on their menus.

My son introduced me to this restaurant located in the heart of Culver City. The atmosphere is laid back and classic. The lunch was a family get-together with my son, his wife, and her father, who was visiting Los Angeles. For some reason, we all ended up ordering fish based dishes. The fish tacos were crisp with Baha style veggies. My son's fish and chips were done to perfection. I saw some starters that I wanted to try, and will return to do so. The staff was attentive and the price was reasonable . I recommend this establishment.

Stopped in for a quick bite and wasn't disappointed. Food was delicious and staff is really friendly and attentive.

Public School 310! What a VIBE!!! I went during their 90's Music Night with a live DJ mixing up a bunch of throwbacks one after another in a seamless transition! It was nostalgic and fun! I must say the bartenders are on point with the cocktails made because I enjoyed every flavorful drop! Maybe even a little too much cause I definitely had at least 4 drinks if not more lol! I also enjoyed the food! I got the Crispy Cauliflower which is a delicious alternative to chicken wings, which they do also offer. One unique food item I just HAD TO TRY is their "PB&J Burger"! Yes, I know it sounds weird, but give it a chance! I was pleasantly surprised at how the combinations of savory flavors were complimented by a slight sweetness from the jam yet somehow stayed balanced and delicious. Also, I find it amusing how it perfectly fits their public "school" theme as I definitely ate PB&J sandwiches as a kid back in my childhood. What was also nice to see was how some of the management staff came up to greet and interact with our table, checking up to see if we were doing okay and if we were having a great time, which is definitely appreciated. Additionally, I have a big sweet tooth and i'm a sucker for ice cream... so I just couldn't leave without trying their desserts! I went with the Nutella Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich! And boy did it fulfill my cravings! It is an ice cream sandwich which I could happily eat all for myself, but it IS large enough to split up and share with up to 4 people which I ended up doing. Overall, I had a fun and lovely experience dining at this restaurant! I definitely recommend this place and I will certainly be back dining here again!

Went here last night since Taps 33 was too crowded. Was craving a Paloma and love how they do it at Taps, ordered one here and it didn't taste right... I asked server if it was made with grapefruit juice and she said yes but it just tasted like an off margarita then it showed margarita on my bill so no sure what's up with that. Either way, the food and service were great and we were happy to find a decent place to eat at 9 PM on a Saturday night - always seems to be a challenge.

I should have checked the reviews before I went here. Burger was okay, but service was terrible:( No greeted at all. Their attitude made me very uncomfortable.

I came here on a Friday night with a group of friends and had a great experience. We had a reservation and we were sat outside at a good-sized high top table. The menu had a lot of options and we appreciated how clear the allergens and dietary considerations were labeled on the menu. It was a little confusing that there was the drink menu on the back and then an additional QR code to view the beer selection on UnTappd. That being said, there were a lot of beverage options including some delicious cocktails and a couple of explicitly labeled non-alcoholic drinks. The food was 10/10. Among the 6 of us, we got 2 appetizers to share (the 5 Onion & White Cheddar Dip and the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower). Both were delicious and we would highly recommend. Our waiter was very helpful with our questions and accommodations when it came time for our mains. Around the table, we had the Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad, the Impossible Burger, the Beer Cheese Me Burger (minus the bacon, subbed impossible patty), the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and 2 orders of the Fish & Chips. No one was disappointed with what they ordered and we did lots of sharing so everyone could try different things. I will say - I had an emotional experience with the Beer Cheese Me Burger. It was truly something special. It was a great spot for a group; we're already excited to come back to try out their brunch!

We have a whole group meeting our former colleague who is moving out of US. It was a perfect spot to Pick for crowd.Great experience , friendly service Good food; got fish taco and did not regret , will be there again soon !

Ryan, thank you for amazing breakfast and a nice service. You're so kind. This place is cool. I love it.

The service was great, a very fun and industrial atmosphere. The food was good, not amazing. The cocktails were great! We enjoyed a nice date night with happy hour!

Ambiance: spacious dining hall and full bar service inside and comfortable patio outside, cozy vibes and good for large group hangout Service: very friendly and accommodative to specific requests, attentively served water including fur guest, checked upon the table as well Food: standard public school menu, variety choices to choose from Loaded Pizza - *** pepperoni, bacon, ham, mushroom, poblanos, red onion, average taste, the dough could be crispier Beer Cheese Me Burger - **** Beer cheese, bacon, crispy fried onions, pub mustard aioli, pretzel bun, juicy medium patty, recommend Tots - **** crispy with spicy dipping sauce, recommend Price: moderate portions and reasonable prices, about $25 per person

We come every week for happy hour and it's because Ryan is our guys he gets me lit. But in a safe and legal manor. I highly recommend requesting him as your server. You'll ragret it.

The food and service never disappoint. My go to is the Peanut Butter Jelly Burger,every time I get this, it's cooked to perfection. Server was very welcoming and always checking on us if we need anything and quick on refills. Just recently stopped by to try the Brunch and had the Croque Madame, that simple breakfast sandwich was so delicious. Turned me from dinner man to breakfast man. As for the Ambiance, lighting is always just right, tv's playing some sports so I can take a peak at the score, and the music is just on point, like a perfect blend of old school music. Which is kinda magical and perfect since I'm eating a place called public school.

The service was great, love the area and the outside patio, and the food was tasty, fresh, and hot!!! And we went during happy hour so win win!!

I been here a couple times now and it's decent. The staff is always nice, but the food for me is hit or miss. Feels like a corporate restaurant which isn't necessarily bad but not my favorite. They took my favorite item off the menu which sucks hah. The interior leaves me lost, is it a restaurant? A bar? A School? They have a couple TVs around the bar but the rest of the place is all dining space and the tables inside are very close to each other so it feels like you're enjoying dinner with the people next to you. TBD on when/if I'll return.

Pretty solid happy hour menu! Prices-- I came with coworkers and just got a beer ($9 normally, $3 off during HH). I didn't have any food but everything look like good greasy bar food & everyone seemed to be enjoying it. All food items were $7-9. Service-- The service is so-so. Hostess was sort of rude, but our server was friendly. I think the host issue is just an issue they have with training, as I experienced the same thing at the downtown location. She asked multiple times if we had a res for happy hour (party of 6). Then sort of begrudgingly sat us lol. I was a hostess before so if you have seating available, you just seat people. No big deal. Ambiance-- We sat outside on a chillier evening, but the heaters kept us all warm. From what I could see on a Wednesday, they didn't get busy until after happy hour. Overall-- It's a good happy hour option in terms of prices for downtown Culver. Parking is non-existent so leave your car at your job/home and walk over.

I normally love rating places 5 stars but I just can't quite get there with this one and I'm not super thrilled to have to leave my first non 5 star rating in a while. Ryan's service was good (though a little slow overall - it took almost an hour to get our food - I'm sure that's because it was understaffed so forgivable) but the issue I really have is the strict "no outside food policy" with no exceptions even for BIRTHDAY CAKE. I understand that policies are in place for a reason (maybe too many people have tried to bring in outside food and left a mess) but we were celebrating my friend's birthday and my friend was told we'd be charged (something like $20-25?!) if we cut the cake at the table. I double checked nicely to make sure I heard correctly and was told no exceptions for birthdays, because it's outside food. Okay. If that's your policy, fine. But I have been to restaurants where they will accommodate people who are celebrating something even if the cake came from elsewhere. This is a rule that makes sense in general, but I find it nonsensical that exceptions for special occasions can't be made. My meal itself was fine (chicken Caesar salad with added salmon) and tasted fresh and good (the salmon was better than the chicken). I would advise against anyone celebrating a birthday here, though, there is nothing special and even when you aren't expecting anything from the restaurant, be careful someone doesn't bring outside food, even for a birthday, because you'll get charged. Not really a fan of places that don't consider making sure the customers have the best experience possible (within reason).

My wife suggested Public School recently for dinner, and i said sure they have good food and beer. Or at least they used to. Mid week visit about 8pm. Hostess let us know it would be about a 20-25 minute wait. Ok we are here, no plan b, time to grab and drink and seat in the bar if available. There was a two top with a "reserved" sign on the table but nobody sitting there. After ordering a couple beers, hostess sat us pretty quickly at a nice comfy booth near the entrance. Cool We were just chillaxing, sipping bevy when the bartender approached to take our order. We were in no hurry, and having difficulty deciding on so many delicious sounding gastropub fare. We asked for a couple recommendations and needed more time. Ive eaten here several times but always good to ask for advice, right? When BT returned she said the kitchen was closing, thats weird. We started with two apps, mac n cheese and buffalo cauliflower (both of which we've had and enjoyed previously) The mac n cheese was barely warm, despite being served in a small cast iron dish which was not heated. When we asked the server about the CI dishes she said they don't heat them up, just kind of for looks. She said she would take it off the bill, but we insisted to pay because my wife finished it. We were hungry, didn't' want to complain so no comp needed. Just feedback for the kitchen. Cauliflower was the same. tasted refrigerated and not enough time in fryer to hot through. Anything else? No. Including follow up from a manager. The school grade D and we aren't going to invest in an entree or two for a F ailure. The beer was cold, A. BT did here B est. Management I ncomplete. PH 310 is in need of a Customer / Owner conference.

I haven't tried everything on their menu so this review is solely for the fries. Fresh, warm, and crispy, these fries are delicious and come with a dipping sauce. You can taste the garlic. I opted out of the parmesan, because, ewww. Looking forward to trying other items. I like that their menu looks like a school notebook, and the school theme is pretty creative. A great place to catch any game.

Let's be honest. This place sucks. The service is terrible. The food is okay. The atmosphere is a novelty that wears off about 10 mins after going in. Our server was smug and unnecessarily rude. My wife asked what type of cocktails do you have for happy hour. He slid her the menu and walked away. He came back and she asked if the "senioritis" was different than a typical old fashion he responds "did you read the menu? I intervened. I even asked to speak with the manager. They said he was not available. This place is jokes. Oh yeah not to mention they have mice in the restaurant. I saw the bartender jump when he saw a rat run past him into the kitchen, then he looked around to see if anyone saw! Then he kept making our drinks !! This must happen all the time. My wife loved this place in Sherman Oaks and I never saw why. Ironically that restaurant closed down and this place needs to be closed too. Who doesn't love a good burger seasoned with rat droppings. I will be calling the health department. Don't believe me go try for yourself, and spend 120$ between two people; to see rats running around and get treated like a nuisance.

Overall great service. Stopped in for brunch and they delivered. You walk up to a colorful hopscotch, you can't resist but to do it. Ahh memories of younger years They delivered on the food, it was all delicious. Although you can only order off the brunch menu. I had the fish tacos with added bacon per our servers recommendation. It gave it that little extra savory taste alongside some tots. I had to try a little bit of everything. Couldn't resist, I recommend stopping by and out of all the meals my faves were the Crispy Fish Tacos and the Enchiladas Benedict. Has a fab time here and I would come back again.

This spot was recommended by a few friends and I wasn't super impressed. When we first arrived we sat in the bar area and had a few mediocre drinks. The bartender was pleasant but seemed overwhelmed even with only a few customers when we first arrived. We later ended up moving to a booth to have dinner. We started off with a pretzel (do not recommend at all...just bread with salt on it). I had a salmon Caesar for my entree and it was just ok. It got packed by the time we left, so I assume it's a popular place but it's just your average sports bar food and nothing to write home about. They have some school-inspired decorations that are cute, and I appreciated that the music wasn't too loud. The bathrooms smelled like a dog kennel and were a little sketchy. Would not return again...plenty of better restaurants in the area!

Came here for lunch mid week. I ordered the shrimp and white cheddar grits. Very tasty. The dish could've been slightly warmer though. My husband had the chicken banh mi. It was good. It might've been better with a crusty, rather than the soft roll it was served with. The place was OK but not spectacular. Prob more like a 3.5 star.

Rude hostess. Burger was okay. They up-charged me for cheese even though it was just substituted. They didn't honor their 25% off all burgers on Mondays. False advertising. Skip this place.

My family and I have frequented Public School for Friday night dining out. The Buffalo Cauliflower is my favorite appetizer and I LOVE the fish and chips. The batter they use for the fish is so airy but still has a crunch, and the fish itself taste fresh w/ a hint of buttery flavor. YUMMY

Hilariously low quality food. First time I've had to take a meal home and fix it myself. Server also forgot to grab things for the table twice. Other Public School locations have been nice. This one is a big miss.

I love the food, the service and most importantly, my regular server, Ryan. He is the vibe that brings our whole experience together.

I'd originally thought this was literally a public school (haha), but turned out to be a decent gastropub serving burgers and some delicious tater tots! We opted for some chive-cheese tots and the Public School burger: the tater tots were piping hot and tender with melty cheese inside, although it was a bit bland: the spicy ketchup helped. The PS burger was buttery and delicious with a crispy bun. Overall, pretty good establishment, whether for a quick bite or a full meal!

We discovered public school while walking around town before a play at the theater. We walked in and chose a table outside. They had heaters alongside the tables which was nice. The server was attentive. My partner ordered a plate of her own and some drinks. I went ahead and ordered the brat which came with coleslaw, potatoes and dip. The potatoes and slaw were great but the brat by far was highlight. It was well cooked, juicy and very flavorful. Thw drinks were great. We had a good experience and will definitely come back if we are in the area.

We arrived at 7:55 pm on a Monday night and waited 5 minutes before being told by the manager that it would be a 30 minute wait, despite the restaurant being about 25% full. Loads of tables were clearly open. The manager said they were "understaffed". He took my number and said he would text when he was ready to seat us. We literally sat on the bench out front for 30 minutes, inquired again, whereupon he came out, with hands on his hips, stating (rather unapologetically) he was "done seating for the night". Pitiful service and we will never be going back. Avoid this place, go down the street to the Irish Pub, The Auld Fella.

Summary: 3 stars for good service and food, some items better than others. A bit pricy for the portion, but it matches the area. *** PARKING Street parking or 60 mins free in the paid parking structure on Cardiff around the block, behind the restaurant. AMBIENCE Cute decor with the loose "school" theme. Wooden tables, yellow lights. It is a little dim inside, but still well lit. SERVICE I've come here twice for midweek lunch, on a Monday and a Friday. It wasn't crowded, and the vibe was laidback. On the first visit, the food came out a bit slow. The apps came with the mains, so there was a bit of a timing issue. This didn't happen on the second visit. All staff were polite and friendly each time. APPS ORDERED - Saucy tots ($12). Cheesy, crispy, and yummy. The tots kind of broke apart under the weight of the sauce and toppings, but I think that's pretty normal for loaded tots. - Pork belly bao (didn't catch the price - 3 pcs). Underwhelming. Edible, but not my favorite. The pork belly had a sweet marinated flavor, but it was kind of chewy and tough/unrendered. I also thought the cut was strange, being on the thin side and too long. It protruded too far out from the bun; biting down on it and pulling it with my mouth (since it wasn't fork tender) destroyed the shaped of the sandwich. The bao had a hard stale exterior, almost like a skin. I was not a fan of the spicy tomato sauce, which was flavorful, but didn't tie into the dish. - Truffle Mac & Cheese ($11). Al dente campanelle pasta in a smooth and creamy sauce with a sharp cheesy bite thanks to the parmesan. Solid, but distinctly lacking in truffle flavor despite supposedly including truffle oil and aioli. FOOD ORDERED - Southwestern chicken bowl ($17). Huge portion, fresh, and tasty. All the components worked together. It was topped with 1/4 of a large avocado, which was more generous than I expected. The grilled chicken breast was flavorful, and cooked well - not particularly juicy, but also not dry. The cole slaw was creamy and appropriately dressed, the red quinoa fluffy and tender. The crispy tortilla strips added texture, and the fresh tomato salsa added acidity. The heap of black beans underneath tasted good. - PB&J burger ($17). Decent. The meat was cooked to medium like I asked, but the components lacked synergy for me. The scoop of peanut butter remained relatively thick and unmelted. It didn't transform with the crispy bacon or the blackberry habanero jam, which wasn't spicy at all. A spicy-sweet jam would have been great. I liked the quinoa salad that I chose for the side; it was refreshing with tomato and feta. Inexplicably, my leftover half of a burger tasted beefier and juicier after sitting in the fridge for a couple hours. Still, the PB&J flavors weren't cohesive.

This will be my last time coming here. I remember the food being good, but that was before the pandemic. The food was flavorless, disgusting. I could have have a better meal at Wendy's. Thinly good thing was the service. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive. It was quiet for a Friday night, but I see why. I had the fish tacos, zero flavor. And they served it with fries, which is like a Del Taco meal. My companion had the Ceasars chicken wrap. Such a small serving. The appetizers and meal choices are obviously meals that are cheap and easy to make with minimal real cooking. I know it's hard to run a restaurant especially after the pandemic. But if this is the best you can do, then just close. So disappointing.

Everything was amazing and came out in a timely manner. I appreciate our server Rayleen in helping guide decisions and giving recommendations. Everything was extremely delicious and would definitely come again!

Provender: this is a decent gastropub in the Culver City area. I ordered the chicken burger and it was well-made. The chicken burger comes with a side so I ordered the fries, which were crispy. They also serve other mains, like pizza and bowls. Prices: most meals will cost about $17 or more. The draft beers are about $7 and up. Parking: there's a paid parking structure on Cardiff Avenue and it's a one-minute walk. The restaurant does not validate, but approximately two hours at the restaurant will run you about $3 for the parking structure. People: adult-oriented, so leave the kiddos at home. Perks: they have tvs, showing sporting events. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. If seated inside, look for a booth or long table . The two-seat table I was at was wobbly. I recommend ordering the loaded tater tots as an appetizer.

Everything was delicious and thanks to our amazing server Rayleen the brioche french toast was amazing, as well as the jalapeño popper breakfast sandwich. Would definitely come again to try other recommendations.

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile. I finally got the opportunity this last Tuesday. Food 2 out of 5 I ordered a PS burger and ceviche. The ceviche was an appetizer that wasn't enough for two people. Our waitress swore up and down that it was. It was a big lettuce leaf with a few shrimp pieces and a bunch of jalapeños and tomatoes. The PS burger was okay. There was so much liquid dripping from the burger. It was really messy. Fries were hard as a rock. Service/ambiance 0 out of 5 The service was okay. Our waitress checked in every so often. The bar tables were wobbly and uncomfortable. The reason this place got 0 stars is because there was a rat scurrying around inside the restaurant. My hubby and I saw it twice. The waiters noticed it and didn't say anything. They tried to subtly look for the rat but you could tell something was wrong. Drinks 5 out of 5 Drinks were good and mixed well. Great selection. I was really disappointed by this restaurant. Rats were seen twice. I had to ask for water 3 times because every cup of water I received had black things floating inside. I won't be returning and don't recommend. This place should be shut down for rats.

This place gives racist vibes instantly. Christina needs to fix her attitude & the look on her face. You never seen a brown chick eat a burger before? It's overpriced, and the food is shitty, save your money, and go somewhere else

First time here and our server, Ryan, had solid recommendations and was fun as hell! Will be my go to spot whenever I'm in Culver from now on. Definitely getting the buffalo cauliflower when Im back
