The picture will show it. Bad part is I have to throw it away. I have never had an issue with them for several years and I didn't want to drag down their rating too much if I can help it. The pizza was overly salty for starters. The cheese they used gave off too much grease. This pizza should have never left the kitchen looking like it does. Since I didn't look at the food before leaving the bar I am partly to blame. Hopefully next time the kitchen will do better for a customer that even tips for carry out.

We ate here and at Ale's steakhouse across town and they are very similar to me in terms of value,…read morethough they do differ. First, the good. It's nice that there is a restaurant in town with fresh fish. Our server was awesome. We were going to a tiki themed place (which you should 100% try to find if you are in town) afterwards and the server shared some cool info about it when we mentioned it. I ordered fish and chips, against my better judgement, and it was just OK. I'm a fan of beer batter that builds up more than a thin crust on the fish, and this wasn't that. On top of that, the cod was a little over cooked (a bit of a theme for the other Ale's as well). That said, the flavor profile was good and their tartar sauce was on point. I had the option for seasoned fries or steak fries and opted for the steak fries to save some sodium intake. I'd probably shorten my life slightly and get the seasoned fries next time. My wife had a salad that was very similar to the other Ale's -- lots of iceberg lettuce and overcooked chicken. We also had the clam chowder, which had a good consistency but was just a touch fishy. I still enjoyed it, though. They have a pretty good selection of beer and other drinks, as well. The decor is informal and overall I liked the place. Between the two Ale's I'd probably give a slight nod to the original, but they are very similar restaurants other than the focus on seafood here.

My guess had a great time and the staff were very nice on that evening. I had food catered in so I didn't order anything there but I'm hearing the pizza's and salad's are great. I also had my own music which was ok for the venue since we were in our own area. There was a side gate leading to my private area for the caters to drop off the food along with guess who didn't want to use the main entrance. I will definitely use this venue again and again to host big parties such as that night and recommend it to others as well. Such an amazing time we all had!!

We ordered from the special menu and the regular menu. Both special items were ordered, consisting of a delicious California Avocado and Swiss Cheese burger and French fries, and I ordered a large Taco Soup after asking for a tiny sample. It was a tasty soup, just like a deconstructed taco in a nicely flavored broth, with lots of sweet corn. On the regular dinner menu, I ordered the 50/50 pulled pork and beef steak sandwich. It was a very generously sized sandwich, it was made by the chef, Cat, he flavored the sandwich with a tangy and creative barbecue sauce. The waitress, Erika, was very nice, we had a good conversation, it was a rainy night and we were damp from the raindrops. Erika stoked the fire at the fireplace so that our clothes could dry off. She delivered our food promptly, and after we hung out catching up on things, I ordered a slice of the Fruit of the Forest rhubarb and raspberries pie, my classmate had a coffee. There may have been other berries in my pie, but I didn't ask about it, I just discerned the type of pie by its taste. We watched the football game, we were lucky to get the best table in the house, lol (the closest table which is situated next to the warm fireplace). It was a cozy evening, and we left right before it started raining cats and dogs. You can get to the Rock Inn via Santa Clarita by taking the San Francisquito Canyon Road, it's a scenic drive through the Angeles Forest and you pass through Lake Elizabeth and Lake Hughes before you get to the place. There's an unmarked parking lot to the side of the restaurant with an open garage structure, plus a parking lot directly across the street. It's a nice car ride if you want to have some scenery. From the north on the I-5 freeway, I took the State Route 14, then took a right on the Three Points Road to Pine Canyon Road to the Elizabeth Lake Road. If you like to have a nice meal in a historical building, the Rock Inn restaurant is a good place to start. The address of the restaurant is 17539 Elizabeth Lake Road, Lake Hughes, CA 93532-1008, if you need to use your GPS to get there. Remember to make a few stops to look at Lake Elizabeth, it's very scenic, either before or after your meal at the famous Rock Inn restaurant. You'll have an enjoyable experience and eat a nice meal.

The veggies were obviously from frozen and were not very enjoyable. I spent roughly $55 for the entree plus $2 for the sautéed mushrooms which were also disappointing. All in all just not a great tasting meal. After tip and tax $70 was the total and I feel disappointed tricked. I would ask the chef to please put a little more love into your food. If you are going to sauté mushrooms, use some butter, not cooking oil. Get a little flame on your steaks to bring out the flavor and let it acclimate a little bit before you throw it on the grill so it stays juicy. Use fresh vegetables, not frozen or cooked and reheated the next day. The service was great BTW. Only I could tell she knew I wasn't enjoying my meal, which is probably why she didn't ask me how I liked it. On the other hand I had an excellent meal at Broken Bit steakhouse not far from here the day before. The chef should go there and learn something. Oh yeah and my meal was $10 less there.

This is a review in two parts. First, lunch…read more Maxdons claims to have the best steaks in town. Pretty bold statement. However, the place has been around for a long time and the rumor is that it is pretty darn good so I figured I would try the lunch menu. I will be returning this weekend to try the dinner menu and report in on any differences that I may find because this lunch experience was somewhat unique and definitely worth writing about. Upon entering, I was washed over with a wave of nostalgia. It reminded me of all of those semi-fancy places I got to experience with my parents in the 1970s from the lighting to the ambience to the music to the general overall feel, which is very welcoming. And if you are as old as I am, will definitely take you back. And that is a great way to get an appetite started. However, that's when things got a little strange... On a Saturday afternoon, they had exactly one young lady tending bar, working the grill, and acting as a server for not only the interior but for the outside patio area. I'm not sure whether or not this is a gimmick or just a very inefficient way to save money, but let me tell you that that young lady worked herself crazy to take care of everybody and under the circumstances did a fine job of it. Unfortunately, the grill is out in the main dining area and an open fire grill unattended can create somewhat of a safety issue. In addition, an old gentleman well into his cups decided to go over and place his face 6 inches above the food that was currently being cooked, which I thought was a little unsettling. Based on all of this, I decided to order a cheeseburger in that I did not want to risk $50-$60 on a steak that was not going to be attended to consistently. That, dear reader, will come to pass this weekend when I go in for dinner this weekend. Now that we have a basic understanding of the layout, I want to mention a few awesome things: The cocktails were very well made. Generous pours, but they didn't overdo it and the result was delicious. I, myself, enjoyed a Mai Tai. The salad bar was modestly stocked, but did not have a bunch of unnecessary, ridiculous items that people seem to think makes a salad taste better. They also had a soup of the day. But, at 95° outside was not on my list of things to eat. Again, that will be Saturday. The cheeseburger was surprisingly delicious due to the fact that I don't think it was looked at more than twice and flipped more than once, but it was pretty darn good with a great char, and medium as ordered. Upon requesting the check, it was noticed that the dinner salad listed on the menu at $7.99 was charged at $25. After three different conversations, the overworked server / cook / bartender realized the error and immediately made things right. All in all this place is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. The research I did shows that the locals just love it. You can go on a classy date or something casual with some friends, and you will still have that sophisticated, refined throwback to an earlier time when going out to dinner was truly an event. The only concern I have is for a staff member having to deal with several people and wear several hats with no backup whatsoever. The inability to stay on top of a grill that is consistently going in the main dining area is a safety concern, but not the fault of the server herself. This is a management decision and I would definitely recommend that a second person is always on whether it is lunch or dinner. She did mention that in the dinner time cycle, there is another person who comes in to assist and that is the reason I'm going back Saturday. I want to see how the dinner turn and burn works because the burger was really good and I imagine that the steaks are gonna be just as good as everybody says they are. It is definitely worth a visit. Until then....
