Affordable Care of Hollywood

Front bumper of my car came halfway off.. was hanging on at the center.  Honda Body Shop looked at it in person and quoted me $700-800 and 4 days of time.  Called Affordable Care and Stacey told me (without seeing the car) it'd take a hour.  I thought he was going to give me a longer estimate once he saw it in person.  Nope!  Fixed it in a hour for $45!  I couldn't believe the difference between Honda and Stacey.  Will absolutely 100% be coming back to Stacey for future service check-ups and anything else I need.  Go to him!

Hamburger Mary's

Having read the reviews of this place, and hearing good things from my friends, I was very excited to try it out.

My friend and I had a small wait today but didn't mind.  As we were led in by a waiter I was excited the whole walk back as I love discovering a good cheeseburger joint.

My one issue was the very odd wait just to be greeted and get drinks ordered.  We were sitting at our table for a solid 15 minutes while two waiters and 1 waitress worked tables all around us.  Finally the waitress looked back at us and did a double take when she realized we had been there for so long.

That aside, the food was delicious.  I got the Mary Burger and could not believe how beautiful and perfectly formed it was when it was presented to me.

Very fun atmosphere too.  Club music, happy employees, movie posters with the name "Mary" lining the walls.  Wish I were here on a week day to get the Yelp special!

The Original Las Casuelas

I believe this is the original Las Casuelas in Palm Springs, and it shows.  Nice, cozy atmosphere inside with delicious food.

I ordered the two chicken taco deal and particularly enjoyed the cheese and tortilla parts.  Very unique flavor.

Had several different sauces to try with the nachos and all were delicious.  Would definitely recommend this place for some authentic mexican.

Chick-fil-A  

Category: Fast Food

4.0 star rating

My all-time favorite fast food restaurant.  Been eating at Chick Fil As for years.

The BEST thing about Orange County Chick Fil A restaurants are their specials.  Every month there is a new deal going on at all of them.  This month they're celebrating 6 years of being in Orange County.  To celebrate, every customer will be receiving a free sandwich next week.  Each day of the week will have a different sandwich available.

They also regularly hold "receipt months".  For example: you make a purchase any Friday of a specific month.  Come back ANY day the following month with that receipt and you'll receive the exact order entirely free!

The Santa Ana Chick Fil A in particular does a great job interacting with customers.  They have their own Twitter account (http://twitter.com/cfa...) which they use to give away free food every week.

As for the Chick Fil A in Orange... the restaurant is very clean and the staff are very friendly.  The lady who works the seating area is always going around checking to see if anyone needs refills or their tables cleared.

The food, of course, is delicious!  It's quality food that you'll forget is "fast food".  There are some great items on the menu for people looking to have a healthy meal.  Namely, the Chick Fil A Chargriled Sandwich.  Less than 300 calories and very few grams of fat!  Be sure to check out the nutrition menu though.. some items are NOT good for you (Chicken Salad Sandwich, I'm lookin' at you).

The Veggie Grill

Best restaurant in The Spectrum!  Tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago and was very glad I did.

I'm NOT a vegan but I can appreciate the type of food.  They recently added the cheese V-burger and nachos.  Not sure how healthy/good those nachos are, but the V-burger was an extremely pleasant surprise.  Also enjoyed their tomato basil soup and sweet potato fries.

Also love how there's no fountain soda available here.  Just water and tea.  

Restaurant was very clean and I liked how the food was served (open burger, for example).

It was pretty expensive but well worth it.  Waitress was very knowledgeable/passionate when I asked questions about how they cook their food.

Looking forward to coming back here again soon - the drive is just a bit far for a lunch.  Next time I go I'll be trying the All-American Stack.  Looks amazing and I've heard it's a general favorite.

In-N-Out Burger  

Categories: Burgers, Fast Food

This In-N-Out is right around the corner from where I live.  Needless to say my friends and I tend to end up here late at night on the weekends.  Come here late at night... any night.. and you'll find your fair share of drunks.  The employees are clearly used to it.  They look at each customer at night  (drunk or not... they just assume you're on something) with pity.  I guess they're sick of seeing so many losers, but they shouldn't complain when they're some of the highest paid fast food workers in CA.

This is one of very few In-N-Outs that doesn't actually have a drive thru.  It's one of the oldest as well.  It's always nice and clean.  You'll encounter many interesting people here no matter what time of day.

Of course, the food is the best.  I love getting a plain cheeseburger with deep fried animal style fries.  Grilled cheese sandwiches and double doubles are also to die for.

Fitness Grill - CLOSED

It's ironic that reviewers are complaining about the parking to access a restaurant for those with active/healthy lifestyles in mind.  Yes I agree it gets crowded.  Look closer to Burger King (yes.. gasp.. you'll have to take a small walk) and you'll find plenty.

I discovered this place a few months ago through Google Maps.  Being someone who was/is in the process of getting fit, I was very excited to try out Fitness Grill.

From my first time there, I loved it!  It's great to see a restaurant be so conscious about what they put in their food.

Their lunch specials are very reasonably priced.  Entree, drink, side dish for $8 - $9.  Includes bread that is AMAZING when dipped in the tomato basil soup (my personal favorite side dish from their menu).

Lexi, one of the waitresses, is very nice.  She's usually there during lunch hour and has come to know me and my friends from all of our frequent trips there.

Simply put, this is a great place to go if you'd like to go out to eat but don't want to worry about overdoing the calories/fat in your meal.  I personally love the pizzas, veggie burgers, and turkey sandwiches.  Their lunch special meatball sandwich was very good too, but quite messy.

If you live in the area, be sure to keep an eye out for Fitness Grill coupons in Clipper Magazine!
