Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Relaxed, lodge-chic chain serving global comfort fare, including stir-fries, pot roast & pastas.

Reviewed By GoodKarmaTraveler

Five of us had a long dinner, not because of the service (that was EXCELLENT) but because we talked so much and ordered a lot. The best part was at the end when we ordered an apple huckleberry pie and it was heavy on the apples and very light on the huckleberries. I teased the waitress that her tip would be based on how many huckleberries we found, and at the end, she came out with a little dish of huckleberries that she found on her search in the freezer! Cutest thing ever. I even gave her a hug upon departure. The food was very good, the atmosphere was great, getting to know our new friends in such a place was a wonderful, but our waitress was a pure delight. I wish I could remember her name. Nakeene or Nikaa or some unusual name. Two syllables I know.

Reviewed By PTRBIGEBA364WC

Just flew into town for training and to visit family/friends. I decided to take my son to Bob's for breakfast. It's his first time and I have eaten at this restaurant since my elementary school years. Excellent service and portions. Great choice! Have to visit again . . . maybe during a cruise night. Check out this classic diner and relive the past in the present.

Took my dad, sister, and I for a late lunch and had a great experience there. Super friendly, quick service...very accommodating for my elderly dad. Had a chicken quinoa dish that was so yummy. And got in on the 2 for $20. menu which was a great value. Management has trained their people right!

Chris' & Pitt's Restaurant

Reviewed By Norjeff2

Place has solid food but nothing that would qualify as gourmet. I had the beef barely soup which was good but very salty. My son had a burger which he liked. The best part were the fries. Nicer than fast food but they are relatively cheap. Atmosphere was casual and clean. Worth giving a try if you want pub type food.

Ozzie's Diner

Reviewed By I4513ZMlaurap

This is the place if you need to sit a relax. I sat at the bar. There are comfy looking booths and the other side is a cute diner.Everyone is friendly and it seems to be a place where the locals grab lunch or after work beers.I had the chicken pasta dish and it was a generous serving complete with garlic toast.The bonus for me is I can park my big rig there.

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!!

Marketplace Grill

Reviewed By ninadigianni

This place is seriously overrated. I took my family here and we order several dishes. After 20 minutes of waiting the waitress who never even introduced herself told us they were out of salmon and quinoa. We replaced it with chicken but that also took another 30 minutes. We made friends with the table next door who also waited more then an hour for their food and experience the same issue of having to reorder something else. I don’t get why the cashier is not aware of the items out of stock, it’s idiotic to allowed people to order then be force to order something they really don’t want. If it wasn’t because the rest of my party had already eaten some appetizers and salad I would have gone somewhere else. The table next door ask to speak to the manager, he or she never came while we were there. The place is chaotic and loud. Worse then that, the floor was filthy, the tables messy and due to the crowd and lack of employees it looked like a cheap mall food court. The food is good but not worth the wait or the lack of service. In my opinion the menu is good but useless if they are not going to keep their inventory full. I wanted to give this place a chance based on the reviews but this is California, we thrive on delicious food and fantastic service. I won’t be coming back here and definitely won’t recommend it to anyone.

Pop's Cafe

Reviewed By RolandFinn

If you feel assaulted by corporate restaurants and color design consultants and frozen food prepared 3 states away and shipped to be warmed or microwaved, then Pop's Cafe is a great alternative. This is how all small restaurants used to be before they were owned by financial conglomerates. While I ate there, I didn't ask to meet "Pop's," but I'm pretty sure there must be one. If not now, then at one time. This place is small and there might be a wait on weekend days, but it's worth it. This is food prepared to taste good and not just to fill one's stomach. The day I was there I was craving oatmeal with a side of sausage and that's what I got. But, I was looking at the other conventional breakfasts going by and saw that they were looking excellent. This is a place not to be missed. Make a special trip to go there if you are in the neighborhood.

Had never been here before but my husband loves diners so of course we had to go. We had 2 teens with us and one very picky one with allergies and they were able to accommodate. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and quick. Never a drink went dry. loved this place. Would absolutely recommend this place for Burgers, Fries, shakes and I had a cobb salad. Loved it.
