From a small family diner to a beloved neighborhood institution
Founded in 1985 by the Williams family, Lil Rascals started as a small diner serving homestyle comfort food to the South Central Los Angeles community.
Over the decades, we've evolved while staying true to our roots - creating a warm, welcoming space where friends and families can gather to enjoy great food, craft cocktails, and make lasting memories.
Today, under the leadership of Bertrand Williams, we continue to honor our traditions while embracing new culinary inspirations, supporting local producers, and creating a dining experience that feels like coming home.
The experiences of our valued customers
"Lil Rascals has been our family's go-to spot for over a decade. The food is consistently excellent, the staff remembers our names, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Their smash burger is the best in LA!"
"The cocktails here are incredible! The bartenders are true artists who take pride in their craft. I've never had a drink I didn't love, and the happy hour deals are the best kept secret in South Central. Great vibes all around!"
"I hosted my birthday dinner at Lil Rascals and they went above and beyond to make it special. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious, and they even surprised me with a complimentary dessert. This place feels like a second home to me!"
