This is the only place around to drink or eat for thirty miles in any direction. Located on the backside of Mt Hamilton 8 miles further up the road from my ranch. Fair to good hamburgers and sandwiches. Occasional dinner specials and breakfast, very modest food. Hangout for all the underemployed locals in the San Antone Valley. Really cold draught beer. Pool table. Popular stopping spot for the bikers that motor through every weekend. Lottie is the new owner and a real nice lady. (A grumpy old man used to own it years ago.)

The outside and inside don't look like much, but the food is real good, as attested to by the large lunch crowd. A best buy in Livermore for Mexican cuisine.

Top quality dim-sum that you order by filling out a carbon-copy form.

This is probably the best Chinese restaraunt for food that I've ever eaten at (I'm 46 and 100# overweight, so I qualify as an expert). My mom lives in Lakewood and I live near San Francisco, but we make it a point to go here when I visit town. The real world is that the best often grow complacent. I haven't been here in three years, but I hope it hasn't deteriorated.
