This is a decent restaurant for family and friends, The food is generally good, but during my visit the salad bar didn't look appetizing at all. It appears this restuarant real strength is breakfast and lunch ... the menu leans heavily towards that kind of items. Overall, this restaurant sort-of reminded me of a Denny's.I know this restaurant has been around for many years, but it shouldn't look like it on the inside. The decor is dated, the carpet should have changed years ago and the tables are, well let's say a large group came in and the servers slid together two tables that didn't match, one was round, and the other a square table at least three inch taller.The positives, the servers were friendly and efficient. Like I said earlier, the food we ordered was good.

We finally tried this place for breakfast on our last morning staying at the Doubletree. I wish we had gone there sooner. Breakfast was very good. The prices are great and the service is nice too. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to your table. It was fast, delicious, and a good value!

Made reservations for 5 on Fathers day. They sat us in a tiny booth in which only 4 of us fit. It was a busy area and they brought a chair for our fifth person to sit in this high traffic area. We kindly asked to be seated elsewhere due to it being cramped. This is when the waitress rolled her eyes and said we will need to wait another 45 minutes for a table. I kindly asked why she was so upset and we also had a reservation. Why would we need to wait when there were clearly open tables? She then got very angry and sent us to the front to speak to the hostess. Long story short we finally got a table and the service was terrible. Food under cooked and lack of good service. We will never return to this place ever. Do yourself a favor and pick a different place to eat.Hello and thanks so much for contacting Black Angus. So that we can address your concerns, can you please contact me at [email protected] and include a copy of your comment, the date/time/location you visited and a phone number where I can reach you. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Jacquie W, Guest Relations Manager

Calamari appetizer crisp and not chewy as some calamari can be...Two of us ordered the Brocheta Argentina, and they only brought one...our server, Crystal, was very upfront about it, apologized and offered to see if we wanted to share the one plate while the other was being prepared...we declined.Once the 2nd Brocheta came out, it was prepared perfectly, with a good flavor that could not bee beat.The others ordered Linguini Fried Diablo, Chicken Parmigiana and 5 cheese ravioli...again, all prepared perfectly.It would have been a nice gesture to comp the appetizer since they made a mistake with the one entrée...

I go to the restaurant in Corona. I love the peanuts you throw shells on the floor. Great family place. I tried buffalo rib and their large sweet potato and veggie choice . My family ordered veggie burger and others ordered various steak choices. All were great and no complaints. To full to try dessert. I don't know the prices as my father in law paid the bill for 7 of us. Atmosphere very nice but busy had to wait for a table to open up. Otherwise nice place to eat.

We came her for a special treat and were not disappointed. Treated like Queens. From having our Cesar salad tossed table side to the fish prepared to perfection, this is old school Hollywood in a very swanky little nook of Pico Rivera. The interior and exterior is a nod to the past. Every inch was something delightful to behold. We can't wait to come back again!!

Reviewed By StuffCorn
Local gastro pub with good food, though it can be a wee bit slow to get to you. A few gluten free choices available (or can be made GF) good beer selection and a few wines. It's a favorite, but the one thing is that it is LOUD in here. Not from crowds, not from bands, just the acoustics. Just a few people and you may find yourself having to lean in hard to have a conversation.

The deco is definitely more funk and the cooking is Asian influenced with more of a tropical influence on the dishes. However, some dishes can be a bit of hit and miss. If your palate is up for something different, this place fit the bill. Nice selection of craft bottle beers, too.

The brunch time crowd was bustling in this local diner. The wait was short and we were quickly seated. The menu included a variety of breakfast and lunch options. Our server was friendly and our food seemed to come out in minutes. Typical breakfast fare although the pancakes were oddly salty! Details:-garden omelette - good. lots of veggies and fruit was fresh. It came with some mild salsa on the side. Second side of a muffin was huge and equally good.-pancakes - short stack was rubbery and salty-NY steak and eggs - thumbs up good

A bit disappointed because this was rated number one breakfast place in Whittier and expectations were high. Had a nice 60s vibe and I think much of the restaurant original to that period or before. Great service and a very wide variety menu. Coffee was fine and hash browns were tasty. Blueberry pancakes were pretty awful though. Not fluffy and not sure where blueberries were from. Eggs Benedict just okay and I am guessing hollandaise sauce from a can. I asked about corned beef hash and found out it was canned. I wonât go here again but if you do I would stick to basics like bacon and eggs or maybe French toast. Would not expect anything fresh or clean here. Seems like a lot of other people like this place but not us.
