[jrgaudettes]

Ive heard that place is great. :idea:
Real good, going to have to try Wood Ranch BBQ.

[little rowe boat]

Northwoods inn.

[HavaSkank]

i loved the one in longbeach;) ,the salad,red cabbage if i remember right:D
I heard the LB Northwoods was a big Mo hangout. The piano bar attracts the showtune connoissuers I guess.
Im quite the fag-hag. Im surprised I haven't investigated this one further.

[dumbandyoung]

Jack in the box :D
your such smartass! haha:D
The Northwoods INN is awesome. I might have to go there for lunch tomorrow.

Me 2 Love the tri tip and there steak sauce.:)

[Throttle]

Orange Hill

[dumbandyoung]

Me 2 Love the tri tip and there steak sauce.:)
Ahh the tri tip sandwich is the best! I love the garlic rolls they serve too.
Oh and for you tri tip guys in OC..
Theres a little whole in the wall place called Lous BBQ in HB off Victoria and Brookhurst that has awesome tri tip. I defiantly suggest you guys try it.

[riverfun]

the Northwoods in LB on 2nd closed a couple years ago. My favorite restaurant is McKenna's on The Bay.

[robk]

Alright... I've never seen it mentioned on HB before but I can't believe that there aren't any HB members that don't know about El Farolito in Placentia. If you like Mexican food, the Sandoval family is the be-all, end-all in that respect.
Been eating there my whole life (sometime 2 or 3 times a week) and still haven't found a Mexican food restaurant that comes close.

[mobldj]

mama chueys in moreno valley,best tortillas in so cal

[boatsnblondes]

Gullivers, across from John Wayne...or Five Crowns, on PCH...The quiet Woman on PCH has the best crab cakes I've ever tasted....

[STLRFAN]

[mrs.rvrluvr]

My favorite restaurant ever is La Paloma in Pomona (or maybe it's LaVerne). I've been going there since I was six years old. Really great food & great margaritas.

[NOTALENT]

Flemings Steakhouse in Newport Beach or El Segundo. Best damn steak I have had.

[Havasu_Dreamin]

Kind of surprised about all the votes for Northwoods. I grew up close to the one in San Gabriel on Rosemead, I think it is average at best.
The Derby in Arcadia, Wood Ranch - any of them, El Encanto in Azusa was good - heard it closed, Casa Del Rey - any of them for Mexican, Pinnacle Peak in San Dimas - good for what it is, Pomona Valley Mining Company, Shogun - Pasadena or La Verne.....

[shrek]

Homestyle Cafe' for Breakfast
The Hat for Lunch
Northwoods Inn for Dinner
Miyabi for Teppan
Casa Del Rey for Mexican
Cafe Alegro for Italian
They dont call me Shrek because I pass up meals.....

Arturo's on Leffingwell in Whittier, right?
Good food :)
Rob

[dumbandyoung]

Gullivers, across from John Wayne...or Five Crowns, on PCH...The quiet Woman on PCH has the best crab cakes I've ever tasted....
My friends brother works at Five Crowns...pretty fancy place. thats for those DCB owners. lol;) :D

[All-Star]

[TheCarDudes]

Mastro's Steak House
Absolutely nothing short of phenomenal

[All-Star]

Rothchilds,
Five Crowns... these are downon PCH
Sorrento Grill a martini bar and restaurant in Laguna
Oh and there are just tooo many in San Juan Capistrano...
If you like Tapas type... I have soooo many all over OC and LA counties
That is my love... finding good new places to eat.
Husband always like Nortwoods, but I dont see what the big deal is. Plus the portions are way tooo big for me. I prefer the whole in the wall places.
Hope this helps a bit.

[mobldj]

the hat kicks ass,also one in rancho cucu in front of victoria gardens,wet fries with the gravy on the side....for the dippin

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

Kifunes Marina Del Rey :D

[SUBPRIME]

Mahe's in Seal Beach, great sushi, and the place is always packed with hot chicks!!!

[455Rocket]

Tito's Tacos in Culver City for hole-in-the wall mexican
But all my favorites are away from home:
Milestones in Richmond, BC Canada
and good ol' Shugrue's... nothin' beats a teriyaki top and a mai tai, exp. when you roll up in the boat.

[yamamoto]

There are alot of great high end places, but where can you get a great meal for under $10? Then it becomes much easier to justify eating out.

[Psycho Squid]

Sammy's wood fired pizza in La Jolla Ca. Yum....Good Salmon also! :)

[phebus]

Mulleadys- Mission Viejo. Great place with great owners.

[25Elmn8r]

Lucilles in brea for me...Looks like i'll have to try wood ranch though
OK where is the hat..i've seen the sandwiches and they look pretty damn big...
The Hat is right by Lucilles. Turn the opposite way off the 57 and make the first left on State College. Best Pastrami I've ever had!
My vote is for Wood Ranch also. Great Tri Tip, and the Salads are pretty good too.

[Nord]

Your Moms House...........always a great place to dine in or eat out......;)

[LOWRIVER2]

Stubrik's in Fullerton for steaks
2nd vote for Mahi's in Seal Beach for sushi
Super mex in HB for mex food.

[KeepsTheBeerAfloat]

Lucilles in brea for me...Looks like i'll have to try wood ranch though
Woodranch-Check!
El Faro Lito-Check
Lucille's....check check check!!
and Hooters!! Eat at all those places and Lucille's has to be the most unbelievable BBQ ever. Faro Lito does have impressive food, and home made tortillas...the bomb. Wood Ranch...love the smell of that place just going to the Target around the corner...the smell alone almost fills you up!!

[Mrs 2LKHVSU]

My vote is for Wood Ranch also. Great Tri Tip, and the Salads are pretty good too.
I agree, BBQ Chicken Salad is yummy! I like to drizzle extra BBQ sauce over the salad.

[Hopdaddie]

Phils BBQ in San Diego was down right killa

[jrgaudettes]

I will be there tomorrow night for Taco Tuesday...:D
My favorite day to go.:D

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

[wright27]

Flemings, in Woodland Hills. Flemings is beyond good.

[HM]

Jack in the Box - $1 tacos.

[catman-do]

Vince's Spaghetti !! They have one in Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and i believe La Verne. Best pasta by far!! But stay close to a restroom, because within a few hours it will be ass-plosion time!

[Nord]

I too love Woodranch, but they have increased their prices to where they have become pretty expensive. I get either the tri-tip special with 2 sides Medium Rare, or the Tri-Tip Chicken Combo. My family gets food to go from there around once a week.

[dumbandyoung]

Jack in the Box - $1 tacos.
haha.. you mean 2 for 1 dollar tacos;) :D

[Wheeler]

The "Quiet Woman" in Corona Del Mar, not that the food was better than any other great restaurant, but for the sign!

[little rowe boat]

I grew up just around the corner from the one in San gabriel also. Come on Average. You can't beat the cheese bread and salads and my steak is always perfect and the baked potato with cheese butter mmmm good.

[burtandnancy2]

The Hallett gang has a private table for lunch every Monday at Northwoods, Azusa. We gamble for the privilege of buying lunch for the whole table. Lots of rules but makes the game fun. Can't go the red cabbage tho...

[RitcheyRch]

Another favorite. Have always gone to the one off the 210 freeway. Never tried the one in Canyon Country
Northwoods inn.

[skygod73]

I love Ruth's Chris, heard that Donovans is even better.

does the game involve Nascar?

[burtandnancy2]

As a matter of fact it got down to Kenseth and Biffle today, I picked 16 and had the honor of buying all my friends lunch. Of course today we ate at Mexico, Mondays is White Roof

[BrendellaJet]

I will be there tomorrow night for Taco Tuesday...:D
Another for totrtilla flats. Warm afternoons on the patio are the bomb.

[Bradman]

Outback Steak House - Love their rack of lamb.
Ken's in Rancho Cucamonga for Sushi.

[riverratrob]

For Italian Pane N Vino in Brea food is excellent an well priced good wine selection.
For Sushi and Teppanaki TSUMANI'S now that they got a full bar the place is really kickin.
Now for Pizza Petrillos in San Gabriel absolute BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HavaSkank]

Outback Steak House - Love their rack of lamb.
Ken's in Rancho Cucamonga for Sushi.
Ken's has some good grub but the atmosphere reminds me of the inside of a mobile home, circa 1977. Im too distracted by the faux wood panelling to pay attention to the taste of the food.

[Bradman]

Just the opposite for me. I've always been to busy pounding down sake and beer, that I have never noticed the panelling.:D :D :D

[HavaSkank]

I will admit I got hammered in Ken's one night with a group of friends. I was teaching our chef how to crip walk and do the Harlem shake (hip hop moves for all my overly Caucasions friends)
Nothing is more entertaining than watching a tiny, middle aged Asian man try to bust a move

I second and third El Farolito. Hands down the BEST there is!
Now lets keep this little jewel a secret :)

Now for Pizza Petrillos in San Gabriel absolute BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best pizza ive ever has is at Gondalas in La Mirada on Imperial Hwy

[mdunn01]

Man i have to put my two cents in here:
Azusa ( Rays Tepayac)
Pomona ( next to the drags, that Mexican food place, El Marendero)
La Verne and Upland ( Mi Ranchito)
Upland ( Buffalo Inn, The Hat)
Cucamonga ( Lucils, Senor Baja, Felpe's, Claim jumper, Cask and Cleaver( the original one)

[wolfie]

check it out and grab a Cadillac margarita.;)

[SHOTKALLIN]

Flemings in Rancho Mirage. Period.
ok and Pinks on La Brea.:D

[BoneDaddy]

My favorite for under $10 bucks is Mos2. They serve the best terryaki chicken with green onion anywhere. There are I think 3 of them around Orange County, one is by the Santa Ana DMV and another is in Anaheim on Lincoln. I don't remember where the other is?? Both I have been to would be considered "hole in the wall" resturants.:D

[dumbandyoung]

Don't ever go to Don Jose's in Anaheim Hills, Took a girl there last night,, very horrible food.:( Margaritas were so so.
Also don't ever go to Johnny Carino's in West Covina, shitty food and shitty service. :(
Ended up getting a waitress fired.
Just thought I'd throw out a warning.

[ChumpChange]

My favorite restaurant ever is La Paloma in Pomona (or maybe it's LaVerne). I've been going there since I was six years old. Really great food & great margaritas.
Went there every Sunday for probably Ten or so years. Good food in La Verne.
Kind of surprised about all the votes for Northwoods. I grew up close to the one in San Gabriel on Rosemead, I think it is average at best.
The Derby in Arcadia, Wood Ranch - any of them, El Encanto in Azusa was good - heard it closed, Casa Del Rey - any of them for Mexican, Pinnacle Peak in San Dimas - good for what it is, Pomona Valley Mining Company, Shogun - Pasadena or La Verne.....
This is a good list here except for Casa Del Rey. I hope you're not talking about the one in San Dimas.
Mastro's Steak House
Absolutely nothing short of phenomenal
Had Maestros last week. Definitely good food and good atmosphere. I think I prefer Flemings though.
Tito's Tacos in Culver City for hole-in-the wall mexican
The ULTIMATE in tacos. I love that place. Wish I lived closer.
