This is the absolute average for family dining. The food is average, the service is average to below average. But the prices are great for a family on a limited budget. There will always be a market for Denny's. This location is fortunate in that it is convenient.

The Olive Garden is one of the most popular Italian restaurants anywhere. Not because their food is authentic, although you could probably make an arguement in favor of that, but because they serve good food and cater to their customers. I love the non-Italian dressing on their salads, which by the way is unlimited, their marinara sauce is outstanding. I have always had good service at Olive Garden (and I have been to them in several states as well as just about every one of them in Southern Calif.). They cater to families, and offer some new specials from time to time. But they are always busy.

This has to be one of the most pleasant family dining type restaurants in the area. They have great food. Their waiters and waitresses are all young and sometimes aren't as professional as I would like, but they all are trained by Mimi's and are all very courteous. Among the food items that are great here are their "Pot Roast", it's just outstanding. They have a 1000 Island dressing that I've never found anything close to anywhere else. They serve a great "French Onion Soup" daily and on Fridays they have the "Best Clam Chowder" around. Visit their website to get some free recipes. Try their breakfasts which are all great. They even have a healthy "Vegetarian Omelette" made with egg substitute for the healthy conscious. Their children's menu is great, so bring the kids. When visiting family in the area, this is where we head.

I grew up eating at BR. What else can be said about these people other than they have the best ice cream (hard pack) and the best selection. But ice cream and yogurt are all they offer. This location is almost a legend.

If you want to try real Vietnamese cooking and aren't sure where to go. Try My Nguyen. This is probably the finest Vietnamese homecooking that can be found in this country. Try the Com Tam (which is a broken rice with Beef) or Chicken Hai Nam. The service here is just excellent. It's right in the heart of "Little Saigon". This place is a must. They don't take credit cards, but a family of four can easily eat for around $20. They do have take out.

The food here is excellent, but there are so many really top notch steakhouses in the area that you don't have to pay the higher rices for the smaller portions that you find here. A lot of steakhouses tend to be noisy and this one is no exception. It is noisy and somewhat rowdy, but fun. It is worth the visit, since the food is good, the service is good, and it is a great place for the family. This location is near the Santa Anita race track, so take that into consideration during the racing season.

I guess there are some people who think this is the greatest in Chinese food. But it is average and is very "production line" in preparation. I have to term this as Americanized Chinese food. The service is fine, and it is enjoyable, but compared to other Chinese restaurants, it pales.

This is Chinese fast food. They produce all the entrees in an Americanized fast food production style. The food is average compared to other Chinese restaurants. It is very Americanized. The service is extremely fast and good.

This used to be a pie shop, then they added sandwiches and salads, and then entrees. The food at all their locations is great, and consistent from location to location. Try their coffees. They roast and blend their own. This is a great place to bring the kids.

Great food. From burgers to baby back ribs. The service is always great here. This location is close to Calif. State University at Fullerton and draws a college crowd at times. Try their onion nuggets as an appetizer. You are able to substitue bean burgers or turkey burgers if you are watching the cholesterol counts. All the food here is terrific.

These people started years ago in Long Beach (on 2nd street near the beach) as a pie shop and bakery. Today they are one of the very finest family dining restaurants around. They feature some great breakfast skillets (for breakfast), rotiserre chicken in a lot of different ways (for lunch and dinner), and a complete menu of other items including some delicious sandwiches and burgers. The food is extremely good here and the service is very fine. They still offer outstanding baked goods to be eaten at the restaurant or for takeout.

The Macaroni Grill is one of the more unusal Italian restaurants you will ever find. They have menu items you can't find anywhere else. Their service is by far the most attentive you will find anywhere. Their food is wonderful, and abundant. They start everyone off with a traditional dish of olive oil and a loaf of bread. I would rate them 5 stars, but they are pretty pricey.
