The Breaking Bad experience was really cool, but not worth the dollars at the end of the day. I can understand the Saved by the Max or Good Burger popups because those were silly shows and make for great Instagram photos, but Breaking Bad was one of the best dramas ever.Don't kill me for this, I know we're not here for this reason, but the food absolutely sucked. Kid's meals from McDonald's are better. The drinks were okay, and I appreciated the Schraderbrau Beer, but again were lacking.Overall it was well done, the props and decor were enjoyable, but the food and drinks were so subpar that it took away from the overall experience.

This was way fun! I haven't even seen Breaking Bad, but a friend invited me who is a big fan, and I'm glad I went. Even if you haven't seen it, you will still appreciate the themed food, cool decor, and great photo op displays. I think for the type and amount of food we got, the price was reasonable.

i love this show. girlfriend knew that this was in my top 3 shows of all time and surprised me with dinner here. i had no idea this even existed, and i was blown away by all of it. from the moment we entered the venue, it felt like we were extras on the show. the staff all dressed in hazmat suits and scientist coats, different areas of the restaurant decorated with photo spots of fun scenes (my profile pic is us "working" at los pollos hermanos), food and drinks being served on chem lab equipment. it was all so well thought out and so much fun. if u are a fan of the show, this is definitely something u gotta check out. heisenberg says u have to go.. FOOD: 8/10 we shared the heisenburger sliders, salad-manca, and i had a couple cocktails, the felina and seven thirty-seven down. bonus points for the amusing puns haha. i laughed at salad-manca for like 2 minutes. anyway, the food is mediocre, nothing special. i honestly didn't really notice the food cuz i was so amazed just looking around at all the awesome decor. i was in shock for awhile. drinks were delicious. PRICE: N/A she paid. i'm sure it was pricier because of the whole experience, but i can say it was worth it. SERVICE: 8/10 minus the 37 times we got called b***** our server was cool. friendly, answered questions, checked on us when we were at the table, even though we spent most of the time roaming and taking pictures.

Experience was worth the price. I wish they would've made some of the photo op background more accessible, some were blocked by diners. Food was small portions & tasted ok. Overall it was good.

Breaking Bad?!? Oh hell yes!! I was super excited when I saw about this pop up and knew I had to find another Breaking Bad fan to go with me!! We went during the last week and reservations filled up fast!! Normally, it is $30 a person, but I found a Groupon, along with a promo code and it was only $37 for TWO people!!! That's nearly a BOGO! The experience included an entree item and a drink! That was super cheap!! My friend and I arrived on a Sunday for our experience and we were probably about 15 minutes late, but they were able to seat us and we enjoyed our experience!! The workers were the yellow hazmat suits! Breaking Bad was plastered everywhere!! Each area was a different scene/place from the show! I got us both Breaking Bad shirts and ordered the hats and got us sunglasses and we both did our best Breaking Bad poses. The food was not bad. We shared the nachos and the sliders. The nachos were way better than the sliders. The sliders left much to be desired. They were dry and it did not have the toothpicks with the periodic table elements placed on them. The drinks however, were pretty damn good and very strong!! They also do serve dessert for an additional costs and of course, you can order extra food items and drinks for an additional costs. We were planning on getting dessert, but we were too full after our food and drinks that we ended up having to pass on desserts unfortunately. The photo opps were pretty awesome! They had the RV, Los Pollos Hermanos, Saul's office, the lab, Walters house... with the pizza on top, and the storage with the money load. You can take as long as you want taking pictures, but you are allotted 90 minutes at the table to eat. I am not sure if they will be touring somewhere else, but if it comes back into town, I would definitely like to go again!!! No Breaking Bad fan should miss this!!

As Breaking Bad Fans, my boyfriend and I loved this pop up! We walked right up and the host greeted us immediately asking our reservation time. We were seated on time and our waiter was so great! He was in character and explained some great choices for food and drink. He let us walk around and take a bunch of photos while we waited for our food. Once our food was ready, he even came and got us! Our waiter also offered to take photos of us which we definitely took advantage of at the Los Pollos Hermanos booth. We asked if they carried any merchandise and our waiter brought it to our table to check out! We purchased two shirts and took more photos before leaving. This was a great end to our anniversary activities and we were so happy we stumbled upon this pop up before it ended

I am so glad we made it on the final day of this because it was so much fun and so worth it! Our waitress Shawna was so personable and fun. The staff was super friendly , thanks Dylan for awesome customer service. The bartenders made great drinks and the photo ops were great. The food tastes A lot better than I had expected just because it's a pop up cafe and wasn't sure what to expect and again drinks were strong and gave us a chance to pour and mix making it all an amazing breaking bad experience. Thank you for the friendly customer service I look forward to the next pop up!

Breaking Bad Experience here in Los Angeles (located between Verizon & Mendocino Farms with free street parking after 6 pm. There is underground parking at this plaza here with Best Buy and Target. But only the first hour is free and then I think it is $2 each hour thereafter) will be here through January 31 (please note that the 31st is all sold out but there are still spots left for this last week if you are still interested). Tickets are $30 per person that includes a meal (one entree and one beverage. Desserts are additional). However Groupon does sell discounted tickets, which is where I bought tickets for my husband and I. We came last Friday at 6 pm. We were seated and told by the employee who sat us to make sure to make our order when our server comes by and then we are free to walk around and take photos with the sets/ props. Our server, Jacob, took our order in which we ordered: (Please note that I am including prices in case you wish to order additional items from your entree and beverage, which you would have to pay the additional price) Salad Manca, $12 prior to tax- Cheese can be omitted from the salad for those that do not want it, but I opted in for it (Jacob did ask if I wanted to have the cheese, as this place is mindful of those that have dietary restrictions). I liked this salad because it has salad, sliced radishes, corn, jicama, spinach and a lot of arugula. The honey lime dressing on the side was fine. This is a good portion for one person. Heisenburger Sliders, $14 prior to tax- This entree comes with 3 sliders. Although a small portion, my husband and I thought it was tasty. The sliders had pickled red onions, pepper jack cheese and a lime mayo that really was a nice complement. The One Who Knocks, $15 prior to tax- This blue drink is pretty strong, served with a side of smoked salt. This drink is very blue and glows blue because of a battery powered ice cube inside. But the drink itself is also blue without the ice cube (my husband was curious and so he used his fork to fish it out and shut it off to see). Both my husband and I didn't like this drink as much, so it may not be for everyone. Blue Sky, $14 prior to tax- Definitely a good and fun drink. You have 2 small glass beakers that you mix into a larger beaker, which will change color. Jacob described this as a New Mexico sunset, which I have to agree. ------------------------- (Total= $0.00 since the price was included with price of admission) Our server was friendly and probably is a fan of the show. He was good at checking up on us throughout our meal and thought he was probably one of the best servers that I have ever had. I am going to be honest that I actually never watched this show and still have not seen the series on Netflix and only know just a brief amount about the premise of the show. But my husband was a huge fan of this show and thought this was be a fun experience for him. There are a few sets with a few props (including some clothes you can wear) that are unique to the show that I am sure any fan would love to take photos with (even though I didn't watch this show, I can appreciate the attention to detail). This pop up is definitely a great experience, even for someone like me who didn't watch the show.

BEST NIGHT THIS YEAR! Couldn't have ask for a better experience! To begin, its local and in a nice open space withh surrounding stores so you don't feel out of place. Parking was easy and cheap. Walked up and a security guard very kindly showed us where the pop up was. Walked in and was greeted by a host and he was quick and efficient. Amazing service. BUT!!! The absolute best part was seeing my parents faces, when I unexpectedly BRYAN CRANSTON AND AARON PAUL WALKED BY! They were so humble and just amazing and understanding with fans that happened to be there. They took a video with my family and myself. My mom LOVES both actors and was able to approach Mr. Paul and he agreed to take a photo with both of my parents. It was the best way to begin the EPIC EXPERIENCE!! The host of our area was so kind and also took a photo with my parents. They were just over the moon with everything. She had a beautiful presence but kept character. She gave us recommendations on food and drinks. I myself got the nachos while my partner and parents all got the sliders. I personally loved my food. My drink was "The 505" and it was not only beautiful in presentation but tasted so good. My mom had the Walter White wine. She actually loved it very smooth. My dad had another drink. Unfortunately I don't remember the name. My bf has the el camino drink. (It's blue. Pretty cool) As for the aesthetic it was spot on with props to play with and iconic essences of breaking bad itself. It was all very clean and absolutely amazing. Perfect night.

If you're a Breaking Bad fan, you're going to love this place! There is only 8 days left so visit now while you still can! This awesome pop up restaurant lets you go around and take some pretty cool photos with props that mimic things from the TV show. You can also go play around with some of that "blue stuff." The food is not bad, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit! We had a cool waitress who recommended two items from the menu, the "Heisenberg sliders" and the "Saul-sa nachos." Both of them were delicious! She also was able to match the right type of alcohol based on our tastes. I ended up getting the "the 505" which is very sweet. My husband got the "seven thirty-seven down" which is very strong. Just how he likes it! For dessert we ordered the "Let's cook! D.i.y ice cream sundae." It's literally just ice cream with toppings you put on yourself. However, this is part of the experience. You're here and spent a lot already, why not get some ice cream as well! The dessert allows you to try some of that blue candy as well. The nice icing to the "breaking bad experience." To much of our surprise, our visit was topped off with an unexpected visit by Bryon Cranston (Walter White), Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman), Jeremiah Bitsui (Victor), and Max Arciniega (Krazy 8). What are the odds that the actors of breaking bad ends up walking in to the breaking bad restaurant?! Who knows.. maybe they may stop by again. Thank you guys for being so awesome and letting us take photos with you! You made my husband and I very happy! Apparently, the drink called "the one who knocks" has an alcohol brand created by Bryon Cranston and Aaron Paul themselves. Had we known that, we totally would have tried that drink! Overall, this was a very memorable experience. It brought us back to memories of watching the TV show and allowed us to really enjoy the experience. Well worth the money in my opinion. Shout out to waitress Shauna as well. She was great! Tips: street parking is free after 6pm. There is a 20 minute grace period for late comers. After that your table will be given to someone else and you will be seated at the bar. Be sure to be there early or at least on time. Groupon has a great discount.

When I heard that this pop-up was going on in LA when I was going to be in town visiting family, I was thrilled. Our group of four had a lot of fun here. If you're a Breaking Bad fan, I don't think you'll be disappointed. The overall commitment to the theme -- from the one-eyed teddy bear hanging from the ceiling when you first walk in, to the pizza on the roof of one of the sets, to the chemistry equipment behind the bar and the employees' jumpsuits -- was impressive and fun to take in. I loved all of the sets, including Los Pollos Hermanos, Saul's office, the RV, and a meth lab. We had more than enough time to take fun photos. The food was pretty good but nothing special. I appreciated that a lot of the menu items stuck to the BB theme. My boyfriend and I split the sliders and the nachos, and the others in my group got chili cheese fries and sliders. The drinks were the star of the show, with fun presentations and even a chemical reaction in the Seven Thirty Seven Down. Portions were pretty small, but for $30 for entry, a drink, and an entree, I thought it was a good deal considering that it's in West Hollywood.

Just to keep things short and simple the pop up was really cool. Considering that I'm a big fan I was very excited to be there. (Brunch menu) Food rating 6.5/10 Drinks 7/10 The food was just simple; nothing exciting about it. The drinks looked cool. Overall the theme really is what sold me to go, and like anything else I'd recommend anyone else to go and experience it for themselves.

We had a great time at this pop-up. Bought our tickets on Groupon and had an easy time booking a reservation for a Sat evening. We arrived a bit early, got a themed cocktail at the bar and were seated in their motorhome for dinner :) our waiter explained we got a free entree and drink with our admission and we ordered the cheese fries, sliders and nachos. None of them were to write home about, but a solid option. Our drinks took longer to get than the food, but all were themed appropriately :) After dinner, we walked around to Saul's office, Los Pollos Hermanos, and played with some "blue meth." Was a fun outing for a decent price! For parking, we found a meter spot free (after 6) so was cheap and easy! A great evening that paid an awesome tribute to Jesse Pinkman and Walt!!!!
