Best service Ive ever experienced in my entire life! Water was never empty, bread bowl was always full.The meat here is so good, you really cant go wrong with any of the cuts!! Come hungry so you can fill up. For the sides, the soups were so good. I couldnt help myself to many servings of it!

I guess it was just the night I came, but there was this metal band playing in there so it was extremely loud. The beer was good and bartenders were nice. However, if youre looking for a place to just chill and have a conversation, this might not be the best place to do that.

So many empty tables that you aren’t allowed to sit at. I have a disability that isn’t directly visible; my femur was shattered a few years ago in a car accident so i have difficulty with balance and pain when standing for long periods of time. I came for drag race on a Friday and was having a great time at the beginning (Ongina was an amazing host). Per usual, my disabled leg gets sharp pain after standing for awhile so I sat down at a table and seconds later some queen comes up to me telling me I can’t sit there because it’s reserved for his group (btw his group is just standing around the table not sitting). I tried reasoning with him, exchanged a few sour words, but ultimately after he showed me a crumpled 8.5 x 11 reservation I got up from their seat and stood to watch the show. this wasn’t enough for him. he asked me to move away from his table which was in the middle of the bar and I declined. I’m not sure if he is close to management, but he walked away and a few minutes later he returned with security who told me I had to leave. I tried explaining my point and in the midst of my frustration, my knee buckled (this is common and it’s something I’m used to). I was laughed at by security and the group for my disability and called a drunk so I just ended up leaving willingly. I didn’t get any names but this was a really humiliating experience for me in a place I’m supposed to consider a “safe space”. Shame.

I love attending your club the bar tenders are amazing. 5 Stars for that! However, the doorman George, was very offensively rude for no reason & clearly unhappy with life. The 1 Star is due to him.Hey George, if you dont like your life change it. Its your responsibility to do so. Happy New Year!

I eat here a lot since I work nearby. I like how their service is always awesome and they keep the spot well kept consistently. Prices are convenient and they serve generous portions.

We LOVE Flaming Saddles! My sister celebrated her birthday there and everything went well until we got our check. There was a misunderstanding but our server, Natalie, was so lovely and fixed the issue promptly and so did the manager, Russel. There was one woman working there who I didn’t get the name of but she was unfortunately very pushy and rude to us while we were trying to figure everything out. I did not get her name but that is the only thing we’re disappointed in from our evening there. I hope that she is held accountable for her actions. Thank you, Natalie, for being an amazing server and for making our night unforgettable!

Always a fun time at Flaming Saddles! It’s one of those places that I always being friends who are visiting Los Angeles. The music is a mix, sometimes they play a banger then play a song that kills the vibe, the song transitions could definitely use work. I do love the versatility of the space, my favorite way to spend a weekend is dancing the night away on Saturday night then coming back for brunch. They definitely cover all the bases well.

Im not someone who goes to bars often, but I was in LA and definitely wanted to give one a try. I want to start by saying the bouncer was amazing, very friendly and set me up with high expectations. Unfortunately thats where the good experiences end, I dont know if bars are usually like this, but when me and my friend walked in there there were empty tables everywhere and all were reserved, so our only option was to stand awkwardly in the back of a crowd of people at the bar, so we understandably wanted to leave, however I felt a little bad going in there and not getting at least one drink. So when the waiter came up he was friendly at first, until I told him we were only getting one drink on a closed tab, his whole attitude changed, we got dirty looks from him the 10 mins we were there and the check was tossed at the table as he went by. I still gave a tip because I dont believe in not tipping but overall terrible first experience at a bar wont be coming back, the only thing keeping me from 1 star was the awesome bouncer.

We went there for its karaoke night on Monday. My friend reached out for a song slot for me but the DJ was really rude because he wasn’t able to hear what my friend was saying and he assumed him as an Asian were not good at English(which would be totally reasonable). He was absolutely impatient during the communication. Later on, when it was my time to sing, I’m 100% sure the DJ put down the volume of the mic to give us a hard time and i wasn’t even be able to hear what i was singing. The whole performance of was awkward and the DJ still insisted the mic was normal.Never come back to this place again. We talk about equality in the real world but somehow the discrimination within our community is even worse.

Something for everybody...So much fun! I think there was just about every type of person here, dancing and singing along to every type of music all mixed together. Male and female dancers on stage and in the air over the crowd. Pretty good drinks prices.

Amazing place. My friend took me here for my birthday and one year anniversary that Ive come out to my friends and family. Drinks are strong and there is a large variety. The atmosphere was very accepting for gay and straight alliances and the staff was very outgoing. The dancer on stage was very fun to look at. I only saw one female dancer on stage but she was there for a short time .I would have loved to see more of her. Outside the place be cautious . Some weird guy came up to me and told me repeatedly that he was gay and then proceeded to kiss me and touch me inappropriately.

Good energy, and great staff in a place big enough for groups. Shows are obviously cheesy, but thats kindof the point.

I have only been here a handful of times but the last time I went a few years ago, few of my friends and I ordered a round of shots. The bartender (dont know his name) brought up the fact that we hadnt tipped yet, meanwhile we had JUST got there. Then he went on and on about how rude it was that we didnt tip and that apparently we were there the week before and we didnt tip then. Before this night, I had not been there in months and I had told him that and he got really aggressive and defensive. I got up and left. Never went back

I stopped by on Tuesday evening and had the best experience. I had been in before but had never eaten there. I was very hungry and had seen the menu on line. The staff are so friendly and greet you with a smile when you walk in. Ive lived in West Hollywood for 19 years and you dont always get that.My server; Taylor was the best. He made my experience so great. He was so friendly and attentive.I look forward to coming back to enjoy the great service that was provide by Taylor and to feel welcomed as I felt on Tuesday evening.

I went to flaming saddles this past Labor Day weekend for the West Hollywood Sports Festival after party and had a great time. The DJ was great and the my bartender was spectacular and offered recommendations. The person who made the night even more memorable was Maylin, the photographer.

What, you dont know how to make an Old Fashioned?!? Better step up your game before your clientele goes for more professional quarters. Bright spot: the atmosphere here is truly fun country; DJ and dancers are worth suffering the lack of a sophisticated drink.

Call me old fashioned but I like my gay bars that are located in my gay village to be owned and operated by gay people. I can sense it when im in an establishment that feels like their heart is not really with my community.

Heard that this place isnt disabled friendly. We didnt fight at stonewall so lgbt folks with disabilities cant be at pride.

Its one of my favorite gay bars in New York but the Los Angeles outpost doesnt light a candle to the original. If you want to see shirtless men in chaps dancing on tables, youll have a blast.

Disabled lgbt people have as much right to be at pride as non disabled lgbt. If you cant figure that out then maybe you shouldnt be at pride.

Terrible, particularly compared to the NYC version which is the best bar in NYC. This one does EVERYTHING wrong that the NYC one does well. First of all the music is WAY too loud- one reason I like the NYC one is i can actually hear my friends talk to me while we drink and have fun and watch the dancers. But worst of all, the LA one didnt play a SINGLE country song! What the hell!? The whole idea of flaming saddles is the exclusive country music and the dancing bar tenders. The bar tenders in NYC are so much hotter, more down to earth and dont take themselves so seriously. The ones in LA need to be more like that. Get it right!

Its about time a country bar finally made its way to West Hollywood! Modeled after the bar in Coyote Ugly, this bar features cowboy bartenders periodically dancing on the bar and tables. Great music and friendly staff.

Bartender took my money and never gave me my drink cause she couldn’t hear me say I wanted one drink. If it wasn’t for that the boys and music aren’t too bad.

Its not the same as the original location in NYCs Hells Kitchen, but the Western twist on WeHo is amusing, if not a break from the mold here.
