Apple Pan
10801 Pico Blvd.
L.A., CA 90064
(310) 475-3585
The top and bottom buns of an Apple Pan burger are crisped and slightly oily, crunchy at the edges, working toward a near-complete softness at the middle; the pickles are resilient dill chips; the sheaf of fresh iceberg lettuce provides a dozen-layered crispness at the core. The beef, generally cooked to a perfect, pink-centered medium, is juicy and full flavored; the cheese, half melted to a kind of sharp graininess, is good Tillamook Cheddar. And come dessert time, no matter how many waiting people may be crowded in behind you, no matter how hungrily they stare at your enormous slice of pie, the veteran countermen will always draw you another cup of coffee from the gas-fired urn and hand it over with a dram of fresh, heavy cream. My family has been regulars at least since Lew Alcindor played freshman ball. - Jonathan Gold
You might have to wait, closed Mondays? Pricey for a burger but GREAT old school experience! Steak Burger no relish with Swiss. Yum. Great Service Great Pie...try the banana cream
Apple Pan delivers tasty burgers, delicious pies, and your soft drink is served in those old-fashioned metal bases with the cone-shaped paper cup! Feels like an old-school diner to me. Aside from the great food, it has its own little parking lot and is a great spot for spying celebrities at lunch time.

Excellent juicy burgers served up quick and easy, lunch counter style. Get some fries and a coke to go with it. Dessert is big here too- chocolate cream pie for me, but they have apple pie and a bunch of other good options as well. Also a good late-night eating option- open till midnight during the week, 1:00 AM on weekends.
