The Mid-Wilshire Lunch Guide - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Born into the Animal and Jon & Vinny’s restaurant family, Son of A Gun is still the most underappreciated of the bunch. The small, seafood-focused spot on W. 3rd St. is delicious, casual, and far easier to get into than its popular siblings. You’ll still drop some money here, but when you need an impressive spot for an out-of-town-client that’s still low-key, Son of A Gun can’t be beat. Everything from its lobster roll to shrimp toast to linguini and clams is amazing. But we also need to mention that fried chicken sandwich - it’s one of the best in town." - brant cox
Where to Find The Lost Explorer Mezcal Cocktails in LA | Eater
"While LA mourns the departure of the duo’s early venture Animal, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo’s seafood outpost of their empire rolls on, with its famed lobster roll and other northeastern favorites. Add a little smoke to one of the Gun’s seafood dishes with either The Navy cocktail or a flight of The Lost Explorer Mezcal varietals (including Espadín, Tobalá, and Salmiana). Even with thousands of miles of separation, New England cuisine and Oaxacan mezcals surprisingly pair well together." - Robert Spuhler
20 Los Angeles Area Bars Supporting Joshua Tree | Eater
"The nautical theme of this Beverly Grove seafood restaurant doesn’t immediately bring to mind the desert, so the neighborhood vet turned to pop culture for the solution: Introducing the With or Without You, which is both the eatery’s name for a combination of whiskey and a pair of aperitifs (one Italian, one Mexican) and a song title from a pretty popular — and on-theme — album. The drink’s mix of Italian citrus and Mexican ancho chile mirrors the name’s dichotomy as well." - Vox Creative
These guys were great! Handled the service in a timely manner. They even picked up my gun to service it and dropped it off when they were done. All at a fraction of the cost of a few other gunsmiths I called.

Jason and his crew were fantastic to work with. I trusted them with an expensive rifle, and they handled it with great care and made it look incredible. They’re friendly, professional, and quick with their service. I highly recommend them!

Great customer service, good pricing. Jason is a straight shooter really honest with you every step of the way. I had him work on an older rifle and he kept me posted on every step of the way. If your gun needs anything special he will let you know before hand. Highly recommended.

I wanted to do a thorough breakdown and cleaning of two of my firearms but I just do not have the time. I found Son of a Gun through google and setup an appointment over text. They were very accommodating to my schedule.
They drove to my home and picked them up. This was tuesday and by that friday they were done. They again accomodated my schedule for drop off.
They did a very thorough job this is probably the cleaniest my firearms have been I was impressed by their attention to detail.. During the process they sent video of their progress and made recommendations on any parts they found in need of additional attention.
I will be using them again.

Jason and his boys did a fantastic job on my shotgun. It needed some serious cleaning and wasn't cycling shells like it should. They took it apart, cleaned it, and then tested it for me to make sure it was working correctly. I would highly recommend them and their service. They picked up my gun and then delivered it to my home when they were done cleaning and repairing it. It's so easy and so worth it! I'm going to have them clean my guns once a year from here on out!

Jason and his boys were flawless. I trusted them with my HK VP9L Match OR. Brand new to be zeroed at 25 yards. Not only did they pick up and deliver, but I swear the gun came back cleaner than from when I purchased it from the manufacturer. Excellent prices; well worth it. He actually sent me a video of the breakdown that walked me through the service. Trust them! Period!

Can’t say enough good things about my experience with Son of a Gun and Jason. I gave them 4 shotguns - all probably as dirty as Jason had ever seen! They came back so clean I could eat off them! Communication was stellar and the service was first class. I will definitely use them any time I need any of my guns clean in the future.
