First off, the staff here really does care that you get the sandwich that you want. They are patient and take the time to craft each masterpiece.
Unless you are sharing or plan to take half your lunch home for dinner, a regular is fine for almost any guy I know. Unless you are in sumo training, or have a tapeworm the size of the City of Industry.
So far I have tried a #7 Turkey with provolone, a #6 roast beef with provolone, and most recently a #9 Club Supreme. I mean, seriously...GET.....IN.....MY......BELLY!!!! They slice the meat right there in front of you. Just keeping it coming and packing that bad boy - pile it on! Yeah baby!
These guys out do themselves with every lunch. When I got a sandwich to go for a coworker who likes oil and vinegar, they packed her separate little containers of each so not only would her bread not get soggy, but so that she could mix it to her preference.
Way to go guys! Um, I'll see you tomorrow, cuz my wife doesn't like sandwiches for dinner.
I don't just write this because I am a died hard In-n-out fan, but because other INO lovers may be wrestling with a decision to eat here or not My suggestion is to steer clear. in fact, steer directly towards the nearest crossed palm trees.
How about $18 and change for 2 double cheeseburgers, a single burger, 1 regular Cajun fries and 1 regular drink? $5 for their burger is not worth it - I don't care if you put mushrooms and A1 on it and give me all the peanuts I want. I want a burger that actually tastes good...or like meat - either would be fine, really.
**Five Guys ain't even worth three bucks!**
So disappointed in their foil wrapped baseballs they call a burger. Blech.
I am sorry In-n-Out for straying from the flock. Please forgive me for partaking in these false burgers.
Don't go here - I need to find a table and you'll just get in my way.

Beef dip, wits Italian beef, whatever.....this is some delectable delights! So far I have only sampled the Italian (dipped with hot peppers) and the combo, which is the Italian beef with sausage (with hot peppers and au jus on the side)
Ambiance is eclectic with tons of weird/fun/ historical memorabilia lining the walls, booths, ceilings, nooks and crannies. There is outdoor seating, 4+ person tables, and 2 person booths, and a counter. A little something for everyone.
Fries are crinkly & tasty good; I have shared a small each time. Dipped sandwiches fall apart pretty quickly. You can get refills on your drinks at the counter, so just buy a small. So far so good, and I look forward to trying the rest of the menu over the coming years. Maybe I'll even order a hot dog sometime!
Tip: "gravy" is not gravy (thick), it is au jus, like a beef broth. When you enter' walk all the way to the back to order, then walk back to the counter near the front door to pick up your order. Order numbers are not called in numerical order, so just relax. Mustard, ketchup, napkins and straws are in the middle area. And, even though this is a sandwich place,they don't have any spicy mustard or horseradish :(
Small sandwhich is enough for me (and I ain't no ewok), but a large would feed a family of wookies.
It's so good, I'm heading there for lunch!
I really did enjoy my burger, but nearly coughed it up when I got the bill.
So, go if on expense, or if you don't eat out much....but I'd rather get a ribeye at stater bros for what they charge. Sorry.

I'll be back for lunch, but I can get more bang for my buck elsewhere in the SGV. These guys are great, food tasty, but too $$$$ for what you get at dinner time.

BLOT: Lunch buffet review, good variety, great taste - super attentive.
=============
We were looking for some Indian food for lunch, and were leery of a buffet in a plaza. Happy to say that we were not let down. It was not croweded, but the tables next to the buffet bar were a little to close and you have to say excuse me a lot. Most people expect it, and it is not that uncomfortable - kinda of like "we're all in this together!"
Overall, the food was great. I think the lamb was a little bland, but there is a good selection of food and I did not leave hungry. The staff was very attentive, especially since we had a senior citizen with us. Some of the food was a little too rich (creamy) and spicy for her. They took her off our tab, even though she ate chicken and the bread. That there is unheard of in the SGV! The staff were all smiles, and the food was always hot and fresh.
I definitely got my ~$10 worth, and would be happy to go there again. I'm not sure I'd do dinner simply because I like to try a lot of different things and I don't think I'd like to spend the $$ to accomplish this with their non-buffet menu. If they were to have the buffet at dinner, I'd be there with plates in hand!

We liked our sales guy, and there were free drinks, which comes in handy on a hot day. We haven't made up our mind yet (2012 model gets the new green sticker). Stop on in and check them out! They are a full service certified chevrolet dealer.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
They still have the hot counter (take out), but the place is a little less "refined" now. I'd hate to see the kitchen, if the dining room is any reflection of their cleanliness. So I guess it's a food thing that we're used to eating street food; it doesn't bother us too much.
So we ordered the fish two-ways (mmmmm...crunchy fired fish bones and succulent filet!), spicy/salty squid, and the noodles with brisket. Flavors were all there, and no complaints on portion sizing. I'd like the table to be a little less sticky, but that's nothing a bit of "spilled" hot tea couldn't resolve.
Beware the parking, as dinner time can be hazardous to your wookie (if it needs to be fed "NOW" like mine). Just drive around and don't be afraid to walk from either end of the lot. in fact, head out a little earlier and beat the crowd altogether.
++++++++++++++++++
Stopped in here for a quick lunch. I was not really impressed with the food. It's not that it tasted bad or anything, it's just that there was not much to it. My chicken with veggies should have been a veggies with chicken. Proteins seemed to be skimped on here. The person I was having lunch with ordered the sweet and sour pork, which came plated with 3 pieces of pork.
At least they include a small cup of soup, but that's just chicken broth, corn starch and some egg white. Tasty on a cold day, but I have had better. For the price, I think I'd be better off ordering a little extra from the previous night's dinner at sam woo (or enter other chinese restaurant's name here) and taking my lunch to work.

Most people's only interaction with towing companies comes when they call roadside support, or have their car towed for whatever parking infraction they are never at fault for.
In this case, I called Scotto Towing to pull out an old Ford in south central that I needed towed to a restoration shop in Torrance. They arrived, and the job was definitely more than they bargained for (but I did warn them!). They called to confirm the appointment, and were on-site, on-time.
The driver tried what he could, but just couldn't get the in-op car out, as it was also blocked by another car (in-op) with a locked steering column and no keys. He didn't sweat it. He just called another driver with dolly-wheels and they both go the cars moved and my behemouth on the flat bed. They didn't charge me any extra, and were in pretty good spirits (a tip healthy tip may have had something to do with that, though.)
Scotto was fair, hard working and go the job done without destroying anything. I appreciate that about a company, and will not hesitate to use them again.
