Pizza N Stuff-Closed

Pizza N Stuff
1532 Foothill Blvd.
La Verne
909-593-3676

I reviewed two other pizza places in La Verne, Red Devil Pizza and Sal's Pizza & Bagelry. I heard good things about Pizza N Stuff, especially since they have been in La Verne, since 1977. So they must be good since they have been around for 32 years.

I got a large pizza with half pepperoni and half Canadian bacon, $20.36. When I got the pizza, the box was heavy, always a good sign. But when I opened the box, one of the first things I noticed, was the amount of dough. The pizza is just way too doughy for me. This is almost like a thick crust, deep dish pizza. Some of the dough wasn't even fully cooked. Most of the dough is pretty plain and bland.

They were a bit cheap on the amount of Canadian bacon. There weren't that many slices on the pizza. The slices were fairly big and flavorful. But they aren't cheap on the pepperoni. There were tons and tons of pepperoni on this pizza!! While the pepperoni was good, nice spicy flavor, the sauce wasn't good. Too tangy and sour. Not a good combination.

Service is pretty good. Nice people who greet you when you walk in.

I wouldn't go back to Pizza N Stuff. I thought, while the pizza had a lot of pepperoni, it was too pricey and the pizza is only average because of too much dough and too tangy sauce. There are better pizza options in the area.

Lawry's Carvery-Closed

Lawry's Carvery
1011 S Figueroa St
Los Angeles
213-222-2212

Lawry's Carvery is the casual version of Lawry's The Prime Rib, that has opened in the new entertainment center, LA Live. There are no spinning salads or silver carts serving up the prime rib, just place your order at the counter and find a table.

I got the original prime rib sandwich, $14.99, a 6oz portion of prime rib on a ciabatta bread, served with au jus and creamy horseradish. The sandwich was warm but the ciabatta wasn't toasted, just right out of the wrapper. The prime rib was piled high but a bit fatty. But it was tender, moist and flavorful.

Service is OK. The hostess taking my order was fine. But when I got my order, there wasn't any silverware on my table and the server who brought out my sandwich didn't provide any silverware. While I was up getting a refill on soda, I noticed the basket of silverware.

I wouldn't go back to Lawry's Carvery. $14.99 is expensive for a sandwich and I would rather use the money towards the real prime rib, at Lawry's The Prime Rib.

Bill's Chicken-Closed

Bill's Chicken
2234 N Lincoln Ave.
Altadena CA, 91001
626-797-4119

I read about Bill's Chicken and decided to go there. But the address I was given had Bill's on Lake in Pasadena. But they moved to Altadena about a year ago, near Christmas Tree Lane. Bill's is more than a chicken restaurant, they serve soul food and some BBQ items.

I got the pork rib dinner, $10.95, with double mac and cheese. When I first saw the ribs, I was like man, oven cooked ribs. But as I was driving the wonderful smell of real BBQ filled my car. The ribs were smoked with red oak. But they were a bit dry and felt as though they had been in the warmer too long. The meat was pretty tender with very little fat. I would like to try this ribs when they are right out of the smoker.

Since Bill's is a chicken place, I tried the fried chicken breast, $2.75. The chicken was sitting under heat lamps. But this was very moist and flavorful!! The skin wasn't crunchy but who cares when the chicken is that moist and flavorful!!

Service was very good. When I called to get directions to their new location, they were very nice and helpful. I was greeted when I walked into the restaurant and everybody working there was nice and friendly.

I would go back to Bill's Chicken, if I'm in the area. I just hope next time, the ribs and chicken right out of the smoker and fryer.

8oz Burger Bar-Closed

8oz Burger Bar
7661 Melrose Ave

2009 marks the 70th anniversary of Nile Kinnick, of Iowa, winning the Heisman Trophy as the most outstanding college football player. But Nile Kinnick was more than a football player, he was leader, he was honorable young man, who did what was right. This was shown in his Heisman Trophy acceptance speech:

"Finally, if you will permit me, I'd like to make a comment which in my mind, is indicative, perhaps, of the greater significance of football and sports emphasis in general in this country, and that is, I thank God I was warring on the gridirons of the Midwest and not on the battlefields of Europe. I can speak confidently and positively that the players of this country would much more, much rather, struggle and fight to win the Heisman award than the Croix de Guerre."

Kinnick would not play professional football after his college career at Iowa. Instead he went to law school, finishing 3rd in his class after a year. But after one year in law school went enlisted in the Naval Reserve. Three days before Pearl Harbor, Nile Kinnick was called to active duty. While training in Florida he wrote this:

"There is no reason in the world why we shouldn't fight for the preservation of a chance to live freely, no reason why we shouldn't suffer to uphold that which we want to endure. May God give me the courage to do my duty and not falter."

Later, he added, "Every man whom I've admired in history has willingly and courageously served in his country's armed forces in times of danger. It is not only a duty but an honor to follow their example the best I know how. May God give me the courage and ability to so conduct myself in every situation that my country, my family, and my friends will be proud of me."

He also wrote this- remember this is the early 1940's.

"The inequities in human relationships are many," he wrote, "but the lot of the Negro is one of the worst...kicked from pillar to post, condemned, cussed, ridiculed, accorded no respect, permitted no sense of human dignity. What can be done I don't know.... When this war is over the problem is apt to be more difficult than ever. May wisdom, justice, brotherly love guide our steps to the right solution."

On June 2, 1943, during routine flight training, Nile Kinnick's plane made an emergency landing in the Gulf of Paria, Kinnick's body was never found.

The last letter Nile Kinnick ever sent included this:

"I am so glad you could speak enthusiastically of your visit to Iowa City. That little town means so much to me...It is almost like home. I love the people, the campus, the trees, everything about it. And it is beautiful in the spring...And I hope you strolled off across the golf course just at twilight and felt the peace and quiet of an Iowa evening, just as I used to do."

The Big 11 honors Nile Kinnick at every coin toss before a football game. His face is on the coin. The University of Iowa's football stadium is named after Nile Kinnick.

America lost a potential future President and leader.

Why am I bringing up Nile Kinnick, in a review of 8oz Burger Bar? Well Iowa produces some of the best beef in America.

I was in the area and while I already had a burger the night before at Russell's in Pasadena, I decided to try 8oz Burger Bar.

8oz Burger Bar is another contender of the gourmet burger battle of LA. Father's Office, Umami Burger in Hollywood, Umami Burger on La Brea, and 38 Degrees.

I got the 8oz burger, with lettuce, tomato, onions, 8oz secret sauce, a combo of ketchup, mustard, and mayo, with white cheddar cheese-$10 play $1 for cheese. The burgers are cooked medium rare and I got medium rare. This was a great burger, just awesome!! Juicy, flavorful, tender and just awesome. The meat is a combination of sirloin, tri tip, short rib and chuck, stored in their salt-tiled locker. This is so good and for $11 well worth it and a steal!!! I didn't mind paying the extra $1 for my choice of cheese.

I also got the stout battered onion rings, $4. This was great too. The first bite I took was very salty, but afterwards, each piece was great. Light, crispy, flakey, just wonderful. They could have been hotter, my order was sitting under heat lamps for awhile. But this was one of the best onion rings I've ever had.

Service was great. The hostess was very nice and welcoming. I actually had two servers. The first server was nice and friendly. But I guess I got there just as her shift was over. The second server was fine but not as nice or friendly as the first server. The second server wasn't bad, just not as good as the first server.

I love 8oz Burger Bar and is my favorite in the battle for the best gourmet burger in LA.

Ciudad-Closed

Ciudad
445 S. Figueroa St.
Los Angeles
213-486-5171

I'll get straight to the point, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had!! Terrible service and overpriced bad food. What a waste.

I had heard mostly positive comments about Ciudad. So I decided to give them a try. I had the fried buttermilk calamari,$10.50. On of the bottom was the calamari was a sweet and smokey chili sauce. But this was one of the saltiest items I have ever had. Very heavy handed on the salt there. The calamari was chewy, rubbery, and not fresh at all. The batter was pretty good but this wasn't hot. It was sitting under heating lamps and sitting there until somebody made a mistake and ordered this crap. But what got me is that they also fried some red and green jalapenos, so while the plate looks full of calamari, most of it is the damn jalapenos. What a rip off!!!

Then I got the gaucho steak, medium rare, $33, domestic kobe beef rib eye stuffed with caramelized jalapeños and roasted garlic, herb chimichurri,
bacon mashed potatoes, warm black bean, corn, and spinach salad. This was a waste of money. The steak had portions that were burnt on the outside and just a bit undercooked, a little longer on the grill and it would have been medium rare. It was also very fatty, with lots and lots of gristle, not that tender, and lacked flavor. I'm not big on presentation but this steak was put on top of the mashed potatoes and spinach salad, and looked terrible. They could either get a larger plate or put the steak on a different plate. What a waste of money!!!

Also lacking was the service. The host, who was OK when I walked in, never bothered to say "Thank you" when I walked out. But the server, plain and simple was a jerk. He gave the impression he didn't have time for my table. Everything after this jerk server took my drink order, was terrible. Within two minutes of taking my drink order, the drink still hadn't arrived, but WTF, why so quick, for the drink but so slow for everything else? He would only came to my table to bring the entree and the check. Nothing else, he never bothered asking how the food was or if I needed anything. He got a 26 cent tip. I don't believe in this BS, even with bad service you tip 10%. Servers are there to make my dining experience the best it can be. It is not asking much of the server to come to my table and ask how everything is. Even places like El Torito and Chili's the servers ask how the food is. Giving this terrible server a 26 cent tip is being too generous.

I would never go back to this terrible service, overpriced, terrible food, "restaurant" again.

Sal's Pizza & Bagelry-Closed

Sal's Pizza & Bagelry
2095 Foothill Blvd
La Verne
909-596-4002

I first found out about Sal's Pizza & Bagelry from a review by David Allen.  Though David didn't have the pizza, some people commented about the good pizza at Sal's. So I decided to see for myself.  One of the comments mentioned that Sal used to own Red Devil Pizza, and when he sold it, there was a clause in the contract that Sal could not open up another pizza restaurant within so many miles of Red Devil, for ten years.  Well, clearly those ten years have come and gone.  If anybody can confirm this story, please email me.

I got the medium pepperoni, $14. The first thing you notice about the pizza is the crispy crust. What was interesting was that inside the crust was soft and doughy. The sauce was mild, almost bland, and didn't really add much to the pizza. There was a lot of cheese and pepperoni which is always good. But there was nothing outstanding about this pizza.

Service was below average. The young girl taking the order was just there to earn money. Not friendly or helpful. You could tell she didn't want to be there. But what really got me was one of the pizza cooks brought the pizza to our table and only brought ONE plate. Not a big deal but damn take a look at who is getting the pizza and bring enough plates. What was a big deal was the fact that pizza cook didn't say one thing. Not; "You had the medium pepperoni?" Not "Enjoy" Nothing. I mean could it be that tough to be personable and friendly, you are running a restaurant!!

I would not go back to Sal's again. I much prefer Red Devil Pizza, which isn't anything great. I wouldn't even go back to try the bagels because of the bad service.

Bayou Grille-Closed

Bayou Grille
675 E University Dr
Carson
310-527-4199

I took the day off from work. I was hungry. I wasn't in the mood for a cold sandwich on a cold day. The hottie that I went to Lucille's BBQ, with were texting back and forth and we decided to go for lunch.

I picked Bayou Grille in Carson, which is in the same shopping center as Bodacious Q. Billed as an authentic New Orlines taste, their spelling, not mine. I got their late because of a damn sig alert on the 91 freeway.

I wanted to try a bunch of things. So I got the 10 piece hot wings special, $5.89, that came with cajun fries, 4 piece order of Pacific red snapper, $5.00, and 4 small shrimp, $2.00.

The wings were on the small size. Is their steroids testing for chicken? Why are chicken wings so small? They weren't that spicy, pretty crispy and tender.

The 4 pieces of Pacific red snapper were huge!! Nice and crunch with a cornmeal batter, this was more than worth the $5 price tag.

Service was very good. The young lady was nice and helpful and the food came out quickly.

I would go back to Bayou Grille again. They have tons

Rain Forest Cafe- Costa Mesa-Closed

Rain Forest Cafe
3333 Bristol St Ste 1073
Costa Mesa
714-424-9200

I always thought the Rain Forest Cafe was a neat concept, design a restaurant with a rain forest theme. I love seeing the smiles on kids faces when they see the Rain Forest Cafe. Those moments are priceless!!! I always wonder what the food was like at Rain Forest Cafe. About a year ago I went to the Rain Forest Cafe and got the appetizers sampler, which had chicken tenders, egg rolls, spinach dip, and cheese sticks. Nothing outstanding but then again nothing bad.

Today I was with the pretentious jerk people of South Orange County, at the South Coast Plaza. I had some time so I went back to the Rain Forest Cafe. I sat at the bar where they had some happy hour specials. I got the wings, $4.99, and the shrimp bites, $3.99.

The wings were kinda of small and weren't too crispy but they were so moist and tender inside. Different than most wings I've had. Worth the price but nothing outstanding.

The shrimp were great!!! Ok they were small but wow, what a great crunch. Whatever batter they use on these shrimp, it was great. The shrimp inside themselves were fine.

What wasn't fine was the service. Ok I went at an off time but still service was terrible. I barely saw the bartender at all. He never bothered to ask how the food was. He never asked if I needed a refill. He was barely behind the bar at all.

What really bothered me was that he just left my credit card out on the bar, where anybody could have taken it. Before I went to the restroom, I gave the bartender a credit card to pay the bill. When I came back my credit card was out in plain sight for anybody to take. There was a couple about two seats down and they could have taken it too. And don't give me this BS that it is pretentious OC, anybody can commit a crime.

I would not go back to Rain Forest Cafe, at least the Costa Mesa location. Terrible service can ruin anybody's experience at a restaurant.

Cafe Vista at Cal Poly Pomona-Closed

After reviewing Los Olivos I got an email from a Cal Poly Pomona student. He told me he works at Cafe Vista, a fast food style restaurant, in the residential suites. I will walk around Cal Poly's campus for some exercise and so I decided to stop in at Cafe Vista.

Before I go on I want to explain a few things, yes somebody who works at Cafe Vista, told me about Cafe Vista, but I was never offered any free food or anything else. I didn't take a picture of Cafe Vista until after I got my order. So there is no way anybody working at Cafe Vista would have known I was doing a review. I always remain anonymous when I do reviews.

I got the chicken breast sandwich, $4.99, with lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a wheat bun. This sandwich was not a rubbery chicken that I got from Los Olivos. It was a well seasoned, basic salt and pepper, piece of chicken breast that was grilled nicely. Nice flavor, not dry. Better than the crap served at most fast food restaurants.

Service was average. Nothing outstanding but nothing bad either. Students working to earn money for college.

There is a lot of construction around Cafe Vista, so there is limited access to Cafe Vista. Cafe Vista is located right next to the gym, the home gym for Cal Poly's women's basketball team, which has been a nationally ranked D-2 program. It seems as though Cal Poly is trying to transform from a commuter campus to a residential campus.

Cafe Vista is a better option than any fast food restaurant and for the students, they don't have to drive anywhere. Cafe Vista has burgers, hot dogs and wraps. It also serves breakfast.

I wouldn't make a special trip for Cafe Vista but after a walk around campus I would go back for lunch. Though they only serve third rate cola. They need to serve Coke!!!

Dino's Chicken and Burgers- Pomona-Closed

Dino's Chicken and Burgers
770 E Arrow Hwy
Pomona
909-445-1112

I heard about Dino's Chicken and Burgers about 2-3 years ago when Ted's Place closed down and was replaced by Dino's in Azusa. But I never made it to the Azusa location. But then in David Allen's blog I read that Dino's opened in Pomona. So I finally decided to try this chicken place.

I wasn't that hungry so I just had the half chicken, a la carte, $4.75. Dino's was started by a Greek, so there are Greek spices in the chicken. There is a bright red coating to the chicken, a nice amount of sauce, and a wonderful smell. There is sweet, garlic, some kind of citrus, and onion taste in the chicken. The chicken is pre cooked and then finished on the grill. It is very juicy and full of flavor. I was very impressed. I thought the chicken was good size and well worth the price.

Service is good. The lady was very nice and the chicken came out quickly.

Don't waste your time and money at some chain fast food chicken restaurant. Dino's is a wonderful addition to any city's offering of restaurants. This chicken is great and a must try.

King Wrap-Closed

King Wrap
373 W Bonita Ave
Claremont
909-447-6815

I read about King Wrap on David Allen's blog. I was looking forward to another Middle Eastern restaurant in the area. But I found this to be more of a sandwich/wrap restaurant. But what I found was more of a sandwich shop that serves Middle Eastern items like gyros, shawarma, hummus, and falafel.

I got the falafel sandwich, $4.99, falafel tahini sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, on pita bread. There were some nice pieces of falafel on the pita bread. It would be nice if the pita bread was toasted and not just out of the package. The falafel was ok but not cooked to order. I've had better. The lettuce, tomato, and tahini sauce was very fresh.

Service is good. A very nice couple owns King Wrap and are very nice and friendly to everybody.

I was hoping for kebobs and while they do have kebobs, it is only the ground beef kebobs. I hate ground beef kebobs. The sandwiches are fresh and priced right but this isn't anything special. Solid? yes.

I wouldn't rush back to King Wrap. This is certainly better and has more options than a Subway or other chain sandwich shopw. But don't expect much in terms of Middle Eastern food.

Umami Burger-La Brea-Closed

Umami Burger
850 S La Brea Ave
Los Angeles
323-931-3000

I went to the Umami Burger in Hollywood but I wanted to try the original location on La Brea to see if there was any difference.

I go the Port and Stilton burger, $9, with blue cheese and pocas port-caramelized onions. The burgers at Umami aren't cooked enough for me. This burger is cooked too rare for my tastes, I don't want my plate to be covered with blood. The blue cheese mixed in with the meat and there is a small amount of caramelized onions. The burger was a decent size but worth $9? Not at all.

I will give Umami Burger props for having Coke made in Mexico, $3 a bottle. Anybody who says Coke made with that crappy HFCS, is out of their damn mind. Coke made with real sugar tastes so much better!!!

Service is good. I wasn't lacking for anything.

Umami wants to be the fifth taste, which is savory. I don't think their burgers are savory. Umami has opened a third location on Cahuenga. The La Brea doesn't have the smash burger, which I think is the best burger. I would only go back to Umami for a $5 smash burger.

AJ's BBQ Pit-Closed

AJ's BBQ Pit
3691 E. 3rd. St
Los Angeles
323-263-7427

A BBQ restaurant in East LA? Yes, in the land of great Mexican food, you have a BBQ restaurant!!! AJ's is about a block east of the Indiana Station of the new Gold Line Eastside extension. AJ's is easy to recognize because of the flames painted on the outside of the restaurant.

I went to AJ's earlier this week but they were out of ribs!!! Then last night I called and asked if they had ribs, they again were out of ribs. I asked are you going to have ribs tomorrow during lunch. She said yes. Then asked me my name, so they can give me a discount when I came. Well I called and asked if they had ribs. They said Yes. I asked if I got there in about an hour, will they still have ribs, they said yes. So I went.

I ordered the third rack of St. Louis pork spare ribs, $7.80 and 5 piece order of chicken wings, $3.90. Those prices are the regular menu price. I got the 15% discount because the nice lady offered it to me for my trouble. I did not at one time mention I was doing a review.

AJ's is Santa Maria style bbq, where the meats are cooked over oak wood. This isn't "true" BBQ but it is damn good if done right. Take a look at this picture, this is how they do Santa Maria BBQ.



The ribs were pretty good. Nice smoke flavor, tender, little to no fat. But the ribs were so small!!!! The pit master came out and even said sorry for the ribs being so small.

The wings were bigger than the pork ribs!! The chicken wings were about a medium spice level. There wasn't much of a crispy skin but the meat was tender and moist. Overall I did like the wings but I would prefer them to be a bit more crispy.

Service was very good. The lady's who gave me the discount on the phone was super nice. She didn't have to offer any discount but she went over and above. Her daughter was nice, friendly and helpful taking the order. The pitmaster was nice to come out and say sorry for the size of the ribs. He also mentioned they bought some more ribs and put them on the grill, as you can see from the above picture.

AJ's has been open for about six months. They need to work some kinks in their operation. I understand not wanting food to go to waste but ribs are a staple of any BBQ restaurant. They need to have ribs all the time. I wouldn't have any issues going back to AJ's but I would call first to make sure they have ribs.

Carl's Jr-Coke Free Style-Closed

Carl's Jr
2025 E Katella Ave,
Anaheim
714-385-1504

Update April 19, 2010: This Carl's Jr is still open but they no longer have the Coke Free Style machine.

Why is The New Diner reviewing a Carl's Jr? I wanted an excuse for trying the new Coke Free Style machine!!! I first heard of the Coke Free Style machine on the CNBC special, hosted by Melissa Lee, who is pretty hot, called The Real Story about Coke and it's history. The showed talked about Coke's marketing practices, development and research and their awesome buying power. The Coke Free Style machines are being test marketed in selected locations in California and Atlanta. The Coke Free Style machine can give customers 100, yes 100, different varieties of Coke products!! Just press the right icons on the touch screen and out comes your Coke product. Inside the machines they have cartridges filled with flavor syrup, much like a printer cartridge, that combine with carbonated water to give you nice refreshing Coke product.

The Free Style machine maybe a little confusing at first. But really all you need to do is, get a cup, push the lever for ice, press the touchscreen for what type of soda you want and then press the POUR button. Out comes your a nice, cold refreshing Coke product.

One thing for damn sure, that nasty New Coke crap, doesn't come out of this. Why Coke would mess with perfection is beyond me!!!! Ok, let's forgot about those terrible 3-4 months back in 1985 where REAL Coke wasn't being sold.

I tried regular Coke, raspberry Coke, orange Coke and lime Coke. Regular Coke tasted like any other Coke from a fountain. Raspberry Coke was a bit too sweet for me. Lime Coke was nice and refreshing, with a nice finish. When I tried the Orange Coke, something must have been wrong with the machine, more than likely the Coke cartridge was out or giving an incorrect amount of Coke, because it tasted like orange soda, not Orange Coke.

I had a coupon which got you a free soda and fries with a purchase of a Chicken Parmesan sandwich, $4.34. The chicken parmesan sandwich was nicely breaded and moist. But the marinara sauce was too tangy and just didn't work well in the sandwich.

Service was good. The guy taking my order was nice and helpful.

I normally go to Carl's for the western bacon cheeseburger. But the main reason I went to Carl's was because I wanted to try the Coke Free Style machine. It was nice and the wave of the future. This is Coke Free Style's Facebook page for other locations.

Floyd's BBQ-Closed

Floyd's BBQ
501 W Duarte Rd.
Monrovia
626-616-7121

I was driving to Taco Lita and saw a sign that said BBQ. I was very curious so I stopped in. Floyd's is actually inside a liquor store called House of Spirits.

The meats are smoked, over smoked in those 55 gallon drums. If the pitmaster is good, they can make that work. The pitmaster at Floyd's needs to work on his BBQ!!

I got a pound of pork spare ribs, $8. The ribs were so dry!!! They must have been leftover from Wednesday. They were chewy and tough and just plain bad!!! I also got a bunch of crappy pieces that barely had any meat on them. They did have a smoke flavor, but it was very overpowering.

Service was OK. The people are nice.

I would never go back to Flody's again. This is among the worst BBQ I have ever had.

Four Seasons Steak House-Closed

Four Seasons Steak House
18457 E Colima Rd
Ste H
Rowland Heights
626-964-5115

WOW, what a surprise. I heard about Four Seasons Steak House from a friend who said they have good steaks at good prices. I was a bit surprised it was in the same plaza as Newport Seafood. Four Seasons is in the food court area of this Pacific Plaza. The steaks are a Taiwanese style steak, where they come out sizzling on a cast iron plate. This reminds me of the Romantic Steakhouse in San Gabriel.

I got the sauteed rib eye steak, $11.95, topped with a mushroom sauce and served with your choice of rice or spaghetti and an egg. Yes, that is the correct price and yes there is an egg. I was surprised when I got a salad and corn soup. The salad was just iceberg lettuce topped with thousand island. The lettuce was fresh and the thousand island dressing comes cloest to McDonald's Big Mac sauce. The corn soup was a corn starch thicken broth with some corn. Nothing great but hot, which is always good for soup.

The rib eye came out on a cast iron skillet, sizzling like crazy!!! I turned over the egg quickly since I hate sunny side up eggs. The egg was an interesting addition to the steak. I didn't eat much of the egg but then again I was there for the steak. The steak was pretty good, great if you consider the low price. Hey look it is not dry aged prime beef. It is select, which mean it will be less tender and flavorful. But it was still a well cooked piece of meat. I asked for and got medium rare. The mushroom sauce had a tomato taste to it. I wasn't that impressed with the sauce, next time I will ask for black pepper. But the steak had good flavor was pretty tender and moist. I may try their filet or the New York steak next time.

Service is pretty good. This is a family run restaurant and the owner and her son were nice. The food came out quickly.

I was impressive with the quality and prices of the steaks at Four Seasons Steakhouse. I would go back!!

Update Nov 13, 2009.




I was so impressed with Four Seasons Steak House that I went back there the next day. I went for lunch and at lunch all the steaks are about a $1 off but you do not get a salad. I got a medium rare, New York steak for $10.70 with the pepper sauce.

The pepper sauce was better than the mushroom sauce. But I think next time, I'm just going to get no sauce.

The steak was a bit undercooked, too much redness for medium rare, it was closer to rare. But a flavorful and pretty tender steak. Again for the price you can't beat this.

Service again was good. I did find out they are closed on Tuesday and on weekends they serve their dinner menu the entire day.
