We were excited to try Hugo’s while visiting LA as the entire menu is gluten free. The special menu had pumpkin pancakes which were phenomenal. I enjoyed every bite. I was excited to see cornbread offered as part of another dish and asked if I could have a side of cornbread. The cornbread unfortunately was not served at room temperature and was dried out. I added some of my syrup to it which helped add moisture as the flavor was good. I was told the four cheese macaroni and cheese with the GF penne was very good as was the omelette. Dessert offerings of peach cobbler and pumpkin pie were also enjoyed, though a comment was made that the pumpkin pie was a little heavy on the cinnamon and other spices.

Everything at Hugo’s is overpriced, poorly prepared, woefully over or under seasoned and generally crap. Pass.

Food and service were very good. The salmon portion was very small and very overpriced.

GLUTEN FREE!!! For anyone struggling to find a restaurant which offers a complete menu of items from Cubano sandwiches to steak and mashed potatoes, this is your place. We dined at Hugo’s to celebrate a birthday and everyone in our party is dealing with celiac disease. It was a treat to be able to order appetizers without worrying, as well as a host of entrees. If you have dietary restrictions, try Hugo’s for a great meal.

YAY So so happy, Kerri. Thanks for dining with us and taking the time to leave such a nice review. Love to have you back always!

Foodie friend and I each came for hamburgers. The french fries were great, and the Caesar salad had a delicious dressing. Unfortunately, we didn't like the burgers. They were too dense, too compressed, with no taste. I think they should use beef that's 20% fat. Ours didn't have enough fat to be thick and juicy. Too bad. I'll try something else next time.
Hugo's Studio CityResponded on October 14, 2024
Thank you so much for this feedback! We are using grassfed beef, but that shouldn't mean they're not tasty. Appreciate you taking the time to share. We will pass on the info to our GM and chefs.
