If you're unfamiliar with the area, it may be hard to find this restaurant. It's tucked in the back of a shopping center. Stopped in for lunch and seated immediately. They had the fireplace going. They have great lunch specials and ask your server for additional specials that may not be mentioned on their menu. They have an unlimited salad bar, which I had with the bowl of claim chowder - very good. My husband had the meatloaf luncheon which looked delicious. Definitely worth looking for!

Newhall Refinery

Reviewed By XK140NUT

First time here. Have always heard that it is quite noisy so have avoided it. But went for late lunch and it was quiet. Large selection of craft beers, something for everyone. Several are local. We tried Topa Topa Chief Peak IPA 12 oz $8 and Pocock Old Red Brown 12oz $8. Both were good, but not if you sampled one after the other. They are completely different.For lunch we had the Ruben with chips $14 and since it was Taco Tuesday tried the Spicy Pork Taco special $10. The Ruben was big. Brought 1/2 home, but it was sure good. The taco were two street tortillas, made in house, lots of pork, cabbage and pico de gallo. Excellent and perfect size for lunch. My only complaint was the tortillas were greasy.We will definitely be back, for lunch though

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By EdwardSandiego_CA

We went to the Lazy Dog Restaurant in Valencia for dinner, because it was Pet Friendly. Lazy Dog has an outdoor patio area for seating that was very nice in the shade, quieter than inside, and seating with your four legged companion. The food was excellent. My wife had the salmon with pilaf rice, and I had the bison burger for the fiest time with onion rings. Liked the bison burger better than a regular red meat burger. Recommend reservations and Lazy Dog.

I like this place because of its environment. Nice romantic lighting and booths everywhere so you can sit next to each other. The food is good, the salad excellent the calamari was fresh but just didn’t have good flavors. I would still go back.

Reviewed By Mary F

Go Monday- Friday before 9:00 am and treat yourself to one of the specials. After drinks are served, you will receive a complimentary Swedish pancake. So yummy. Service is always quick and efficient. Omelets on the regular menu are generous and tasty. If you arrive at 9:00 or later, you still receive the complimentary pancake but could encounter quite a wait.

I crave the garlic lemon chicken and BBQ chopped salad. The family deals they have are great for those nights you want to pick up dinner to take home for the family without having to cook. It's delicious and healthy. It's a great lunch place with a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

Egg Plantation

Reviewed By SALLOOM

Last month, my wife and I went to the Egg Plantation for breakfast to celebrate my birthday. I am a huge fan of their omelets. They specialize in breakfast including 101 omelets. They have specialty espresso beverages and a full bar serving their in-house Bloody Mary.We have been going to the Egg Planation for no less than 15 years. Not a single time we have been disappointed. Their omelets are always very good, the service is always excellent, the portions are very generous, and the price is very reasonable.Parking at times could be tight, but if you try parking a couple of blocks away, usually parking is abundant.
