And here it is!
Shaquille’s is an upscale casual restaurant specializing in Southern cuisine.
Of course… I had to stop by and check it out… I liked the VIBE here… There was a nice crowd inside… and the host staff and servers.. were very pleasant.
My first thoughts were… what a FANTASTIC spot for SHAQ to open a restaurant! Tons of tourists are always in the area… not to mention great sporting events with the Lakers, Clippers, Sparks and Kings having sold out games all the time… –plus-, all the great concerts, movie 🎥 premieres, Awards Shows… and other high profile events.
SHAQ has SCORED another GREAT BUSINESS DEAL!!!!
Oh, I forgot to mention… a pretty cool thing to know…the stage for sports commentators… is usually set up on the side street.. between the restaurant, and Staples Center…
Sooooo…. If SHAQ is doing some sports commentating with one of the networks… you might catch him in action… close to his restaurant. #HighFive!!!! 🤚🏾
The second thing that came to my mind was… SHAQ obviously picked his favorite comfort foods… which I also thought was pretty great.
Good Stuff! A lot of my favorite foods included! 👍🏽👍🏽
Mmmm!!! There’s Fried Chicken on the menu..
Mac and cheese
Deviled Eggs
Sliders
There are only two burgers on the menu, a Shaq cheeseburger and an actual Kobe burger
Also…fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, corn pudding, and Banana Pudding.
Most of the entrees are pretty standard fare with pan-roasted salmon, roast Jidori chicken, flat-iron steak, and shrimp ceviche..
Shaquille’s curated beverage program includes a wine vault, local draft beers
(only Southern California beers are on tap. Modern and classic cocktails are available,
with an emphasis on bourbons and whiskeys.
The NEW place to be… is in the heart ❤️ of downtown LA.. in the hot 🔥Entertainment spot LA Live.
LA Live… of course.. is right next door to the STAPLES CENTER… which means it is always a lively location.
The restaurant includes a private enclosed patio.. near the main entrance with modern designs inside to easily transform the guest experience from day ☀️ to night 🌙.
The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner with extended lounge hours.
Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., and stays open until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
