Papoo's Hot Dog Show - CLOSED

Decent food, I ordered the tuna melt and it was mostly greasy. I liked the steak fries though. The way that you order and pay is pretty ridiculous- you order, they bring the food to you, then you have to get up and go to the same place you ordered and pay. Why cant you just pay when you order? I hate giving this place a bad rating but I was not that much of a fan. Also, they don't have turkey hot dogs, which I think is a little strange. if a fast food hot dog place can have them, then why cant they?

Red Lobster

Took the drive to this place hoping for better than the other red lobster we went to out in Alhambra area..walked in & got our names added to the wait list., went to the bar to get some drinks while waiting..we waited at the bar 5 mins before we were even greeted even when there were 2 managers behind the bar. Got to the table and were greeted much quickly..we place our order for 2 ultimate feasts. One thing I noticed is that they changed their beer glasses, looks like you're getting less beer..our food came out quick and was hot and delicious..I asked for biscuits and our server never brought us any after two requests..maybe that was gods way of telling me I didnt need any more fat included in that meal? Anyway the service needs a little work but it was way better than the other locations I've been to out here..will probably go back, especially during all u can eat crab!!

Always wanted to try this place but it really looks like an extension of Pinocchio's across the street, so I just kept going over there instead..Finally made it and here is my sum of the two - The big difference is that this place has waiter service and the food is not as good. We tried the pizza, we got a small size pepperoni, bell pepper and mushroom pizza that left 2 people very full (which was awesome, the over all bill was reasonable also). There were not many toppings, the crust was bland and burnt and there was a puddle or so of grease. I ordered a side of ranch and was charged $2, which is kind of crazy!! I also ordered the minestrone soup, which taste like it came out of a can. Not my favorite pizza place at all, there are way better places in the area, cough, Dino's, cough even little Caesars is better. I will have to go back and try something other than pizza in order to raise the stars on this one.

Zen Buffet

Ok so keep in mind its a buffet. At least to me the idea of a buffet is great yet it also has that dirty feeling (people sneezing on the food, food sitting out for extended periods of time, lots of hands on the server ware etc). Found this place on accident while across the street at best buy spotted it and yelped it up, figured we would give it a shot..I tried a little bit of just about everything except for the sushi, but that's just because I wont eat sushi from places like this..They have a lot of items on their buffet the chicken was good, the Asian style stir fry's were all good..loved all  you can eat crab! It was about $20/pp for dinner and for the amount of crab legs we ate we definitely couldn't have got them at the grocery store for the same price..

Advice: don't eat the crawfish, they are horrible and frozen tasting..
don't try the sushi unless you like boring & sketchy sushi.
Some of the things look appetizing like the cheese stuffed mussel but its not it tastes like mayonnaise or tarter sauce - a few of the "stuffed" items tasted like that..blah I hate mayo and tartar..

GO FOR the crab legs, all you can eat!

Also the place is an A rating now, not a B.

If you want a good down home cookin' meal, this is the place to go..I used to go here just about every weekend for about 5 years until I moved..On one side there's a take out deli/market where you can get some of the freshest meat in town, BBQ, sausage and some buffet items like mac and cheese or potato salad and on the other side there is a restaurant that has some of the best BBQ, hamburger steaks and the grilled chicken sandwich is yumm-o.
The place might not look like much from the outside (or inside) but the food is great and the cox family (owners) are great people, plus they've been open for like ever so you know they've got it goin on..

This has got to be one of the worst airports ever. Who the heck wants to wait in lines that are as long as a football field when they're hungover..now its great that they have wifi and everything and the lil slot machines everywhere also give me something more to do than most airports..but c'mon, I think I waited like 40 minutes to get a taxi outside and on the way back I think we waited about 30 min (with a hangover) just to get thru security, i can only imagine this place has gotten worse with all the new security in place..

Seriously? $4 for a bottle of water - who are you kidding! On top of that the service was extremely slow and everything was overpriced and just tasted ok. I got a grilled chicken sandwich and it was a bit greasy..Also there were no tables and chairs which is really ridiculous..

I actually don't eat red meat ( you guys are probably like well why did you go to in and out) But i went here with a friend and had to eat something..I got a grilled cheese with tomatoes and a side of fries..The fries were just ok in my opinion and the grilled cheese was good..The line at this place is always so packed! The layout of this place is so confusing and not organized at all and that is why the 3 stars..from what ive heard the burgers are amazing and they look amazing too..Who knows maybe one day I will try a lil bite..

California Roll & Sushi

Neighborhood: Burbank

This place was just ok.. We got the spicy tuna roll, soft shell crab roll and California roll that came with two miso soups. For dessert we got two plain yogurts..Ive been wanting to try this place for years but never could muster up the courage to go in..ive always been a little wary of places like this because they just are too small to seem clean and fresh..The food was just ok, the yogurt was good but I didn't go there for yogurt I went there for good sushi and wasn't too impressed. Probably wont be back because there are better places near by.

What a cute little candy/soda shop..I heard about this place from a friend and couldn't wait to go..They had a lot of candy and sodas that you will not find anywhere else and a lot of the stuff there I haven't seen in years..I cant wait for my Mom to come back and visit so that I can take her here, im sure it will be a trip..
