Study Hall

Love. Incredibly friendly staff, convenient to USC, lots and lots of menu options — almost all of what I’ve had there so far tastes great.
As a non-​red meat eater, especially appreciate that they allow for most of their beef patties in burgers to be replaced with chicken.
Only few recommendations… probably ditch the macaroons for another cheap and easy dessert. They freeze too much in that container, to the point where they taste bland and stale. Not a happy result for their size and price. Last time I went I was also given straight chips as my side for a panini which were rather unappetizing. If there were other options it would have been nice to be notified, and if not, there should be!

Pretty good place to have a dinner for very good price as well, this guy know how to cook.

The churizo sliders were awesome. The fried chicken burgers weren’t upto the mark. The «why not» burger was also really good. Didn’t like the house fries though. They just have a few beers on tap.
If you wanna meet up with friends for a beer and catch a game then study hall is the best place to go for USC students.

This place is alright. They have a private parking lot and bike parking for customers. There is also plenty of seating and you have the option to sit inside or outside.
I felt that their food was a little pricy for the quality but it’s USC so i guess its alright. The people there are nice. Beware they have one of those square credit card things so they’ll ask you to sign and if you wanna tip them like at Cream on Fig even though all they did was help ring me up…
Food a pretty good quality as well.
They have a shuffle board near the bathroom on the left when you walk in, it’s pretty fun to play with friends!

Loved this place so much I went back again the next day. I had the chicken pesto sandwich the first day and it was spectacular. Unfortunately the next day I ordered a Hoover burrito with a side of hash browns. They forgot both the sausage and hash browns in my burrito and the side of hash browns consisted of 8 hash browns. I’m assuming that it was because I was wearing a Ucla shirt that I was treated the way I was. When USC people come to diddy riece or other Westwood restaurants. People should not be discriminate against others because of the way they choose to dress… Just some food for thought

So i finally got to check this place out and i would give it a solid 3.5 overall and a 4 for the pulled bbq pork fries. It was good covered in cheese, bbq sauce, and of course shredded pork. The fries were thick and they came out hot. It was an appetizer thats good for 3 to 4 people to share. It was $ 10 which isn’t too bad for an appetizer that size. The layout of the place is nice in that it has indoor and outdoor seating. You order up front and they bring you food so you fill your own water and carry any drinks you purchase to the table of your choice. To go boxes took forever to reach us but the workers were friendly. My friends tried their wings, salads, and a sandwich and it was all okay but nothing special. Its a good place to order appetizers and chill but not if you want dine in service.

The food was amazing! I will absolutely come back, but here’s some advice;
There is only 1 vegetarian option in each category so expect to pay more to have to customize (it’s my biggest pet peeve to pay more just to not eat their meat (ｰ ｰ;)
Be careful what you tip, the service ends at the counter you order at. For $ 30 I think they can bring me a water in an adult glass. I asked for sauce and they literally told me to get it myself. They drop off your food and that’s it. Didn’t check on us once.
So if you keep all that in mind you can have an awesome time here! I got nachos, he got the why not burger and I made a veggie burger. All 100% delicious!

Stopped by Study Hall with a few friends the other night, and although I didn’t have a bad time, it kind of was lackluster and expensive for what it was. I think there was supposed to be a kind of old school-​housey feel to the place, but other than the building itself, I really didn’t find much effort put into the theme.
Although we über-​ed there, it seemed like parking was a little hard to find around the area, and the fact that there were security guards at ever block kind of worried me a little as well.
The food that we ordered, the oxtail fries and mac and cheese were both not bad, but they were much pricier than I expected/​thought they would be, and honestly if they didn’t end up lasting me 2 – 3 meals, I definitely would have been more upset at how much they cost.
They also have a pretty solid beer selection, so I hate to give this place a 2 star rating as I really couldn’t find anything wrong with it, but I just felt like I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to go here. It’s more of a place that you end up at at the end of the night with some friends.

Came here one night, after a YEE surprisingly enough. I got the chorizo mac & cheese, it was very tasty with some spicy kick to it (they also use Sriracha in the cheese). Plus a beer and my meal was $ 20. Kinda steep pricing for what it is. The taste was unique, but nothing that would leave a long lasting impression on my taste buds.

Being a recent USC grad, I came back to do some work at this place. I find out after I got my food that they NO LONGER have WIFI!!! Super disappointed about that. On whole it’s a good spot, just don’t come here if you want to do work and need wifi

Awesome place to hang out, get work done, grab lunch or dinner with a friend, have a leisurely breakfast… it feels homey and comfortable, and the owner & staff are always super friendly and accommodating (once, my friend and I asked, sheepishly, if they could put the Victoria’s Secret fashion show on one of their T.V.s, and despite playfully joking about how no one would take him seriously, the owner good-​naturedly obliged:)).
I’m quickly becoming a regular here, and I’ve tried a decent chunk of the menu, but my go-​tos are the A&C (even better if you ask for them to add chicken) and Greek salads. I’m a pretty healthy eater, so I’m not into how greasy a lot of their sandwiches are, but they do hit the spot from time to time (this is the one change I would make to this place if I could – just a few more healthy options!). Oh, and the fries… probably my favorite anywhere. Ask for them well-​done, and you’ll get a huge plate of thick, crispy, herb-​sprinkled heaven.
Also of note: there’s a $ 10 minimum on card charges – but there’s a conveniently located ATM right by the counter if you’re like me and never carry cash (one time I just went for coffee & a study session, planning to eat lunch later, and the employee running the counter offered to open a tab for me so I could place my lunch order later without having to withdraw cash – these guys are awesome!!)

Great little bar located in a college community. My nursing school classmates and I enjoy grabbing a few drinks there after midterms/​finals. It’s a chill environment with a lot of college students from USC. There’s an outdoor patio that I love to sit at when its a nice, sunny day. Staff is always very friendly and always offering great service. They are very well known for their Fire Broccoli. It’s fried broccoli with soy sauce and chili pepper flakes. However, you can ask for cheese on it and it makes it SO much better!!! Love snacking on them while having a beer.

Study Hall? Sounds like a place for nerds. Take me there please.
Well in reality, Study Hall is actually kind of like a study hall… But with food, drinks, and a bar. Exuding Trojan pride everywhere, you’ll find yourself at home here (I’m assuming you’re Trojan if you’re reading this). It’s a cozy little place that feels more like a house than a gastropub.
They have smaller portions but they got pretty good food; I had the pork sprout, glazed in glorious maple syrup and other sweet and savory things. I stole some chorizo mac n cheese from my friend and that tasted like a fancy cheeseburger for some reason (in a positive way). Prices are fairly standard ($ 8 – 12) for entrees and snacks and it looks to be run by many USC students so your experience here will be satisfactory, just kidding, it’ll be great.

My friend had taken us here on Halloween night for a quick bite and beers before our Halloween event in LA. The setup is super cool– just like a school hall (hence the theme). This place was not just for looks, for the food was just as good!
My boyfriend and I shared the WHY NOT burger, which had some sort of aioli sauce on it. Real, authentic burgers that came with seasoned fries. You can’t go wrong with that!
We also tried their Fire Broccoli and Pork Sprouts, which is also very popular there and I can see why! Very flavorful roasted vegetables drizzled in soy sauce and vinegar. The pork sprouts were my favorite, served with chunks of pork belly!
We finished off with the crème brûlée and a chocolate croissant cake & ice cream. Everything was delicious, atmosphere was awesome, and everyone here was very friendly! I would definitely come back soon, especially for those pork sprouts and burgers!

Such a terrific, surprising menu! Everything was excellent, especially the Brussels sprouts with pork belly, raisins and toasted almonds. Homemade chips and fries with our burgers and sliders. So good, we came back for breakfast! Delicious latte, granola with Greek yogurt and veggie wrap. Will be back for sure!

Ambiance: hipster, modern, but also comfortable and new feeling; also definitely a college student spot
Food: Excellent variety of things, appetizers, pizza, sandwiches, burgers
Fired Brocoli appetizer — really flavorful, crispy but also soft, a little spicy — definitely a crowd pleaser!
Brussels sprouts with pork belly — kind of sweet and super saucy — a different take on brussels sprouts that you don’t see at other hipster places
Cobb salad — great blue cheese, bacon, and turkey. Pretty salty but a good kick from the cheese to round out the flavors.
Didn’t try a burger, but really will next time!

I went to Study Hall a few hours before the Usc football game. It was upbeat and full of college students dressed in all their school gear. This is the perfect place to come and relax or enjoy a beer. I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. When you walk in, to your left I noticed a bar with a couple of seats and television. The guest orders their food at the counter and the servers bring the food to your table. We sat outside on the patio.
The food I ordered was:
A caprese sandwich which included house chips on the side and my boyfriend got the buffalo chicken wings. They both tasted good.
Also, the male hostess/​server was really nice to us; we couldn’t find the door when we were walking in and instead of letting us walk in the wrong direction, he redirected us to the front. Overall, the servers are attentive and it is perfect for a college student or someone just passing through.

Study Hall is perfect for USC students. Mad school pride… From the USC cups to every other person in USC attire. lol
My girlfriends and I came by for some appetizers and beer. Surprisingly they have a pretty extensive beer list. Loved all the selections available. There are TV’s located throughout the restaurant and bar area on the side. Great place to watch games and get some beer on. Order up front at the register, grab a number, then you sit & wait. There’s patio seating available as well as tables inside.
My favorites were the «Why Not?» burger & Fire Broccoli. The broccoli was very interesting… Totally in a good way! It’s a must try. And no, I can’t explain the flavor — you just have to try it. The burger was so good too. The beef patty was cooked to perfection. Bringing the perfectly cooked patty, pastrami, and EGG together on a soft burger bun is genius. LOVED the fries too. Thick fries w/​basil is the sh*t. Oh and don’t forget dessert! They even have crème brûlée :].
I will definitely be back but I’m bringing my BF next time. He would love this place.

Pros:
+ One of the cooler dining alternatives off campus. It’s casual, simple and stylish. Great indoor and outdoor seating spaces.
+ The staff are nice and accommodating.
+ Food is straightforward and flavorful. Menu has many options to choose from, including artisan brews. I had the chicken pesto sandwich, which was fresh and tasty. Friends said the same of their sandwiches and beer.
+ Easy to locate and access, off the corner of Hoover and 29^th. Park in the surrounding neighborhood, it’s a nice walk over.
Cons:
— Side of chips could be more flavorful, though this is a minor detail.

This place had a really promising first start! Their menu was fun and delicious.
I was glad to see the 2 – 9 had passed into new ownership. I already like this new place better. Friendlier service, better alcohol list, and wayyyy better food.
Came here with my boyfriends family today and had a nice meal. My bf and I split the Crabby Mac and the Pork Belly Sliders. In my food obsessed opinion, the Mac and cheese could’ve used a lot more cheese and the sliders could’ve done with some Asian slaw or sauce on them but they were still delicious!
For a new business, they have a fun menu and are doing things well. Good service and great beer and wine menu. Can’t wait to see how they improve ! We will definitely be back.
