Best BBQ in the valley , can't go wrong with family meal . The Mac & Cheese omgggggg .read more

I ended up in this area and Yelped myself a great BBQ spot. The place is small, with only 3 tables…read morefor dining in, the order counter and a semi-open kitchen. But I must say, they make a heck of a bbq! I ordered the tri tip/beef rib combo that came with mac and cheese and coleslaw. While tri tip was just alright, the beef ribs were simply phenomenal. Cooked to perfection and soaked in their smoky bbq sauce, each bite was tender and juicy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. You could truly taste the depth of the beef flavor notes all through out each bite. It was a perfect portion too- just enough without overeating, for a grown adult male as myself. This spot is possibly Top-3 of beef ribs in my book. Will definitely stop by again!

This is THE BEST local spot for biscuits and gravy. I have had this at many other restaurants in…read morethe SFV but Lola's is my favorite hands down. I get the eggs on the side. If you donʻt order yours on the side your eggs will be atop your biscuit. I always get a side order of extra crispy bacon. Yummy! Supporting a local small restaurant is a plus. Staff is always accomodatting and kind I love the small, intimate setting it feels like I am at my Auntie's or Lolas's house.

First bite..... I instantly text my mother. It's just like she used to make. TASTES LIKE HOME…read more I implore you to ask for the barbecue sauce and dump it in the dish, their sauce is unique and delicious, it turned this dish up a level. The environment is nice, I love the pictures on the wall. The servers are very attentive. This is definitely a great breakfast dining experience. The only thing I did not like was the bacon, but they were kind enough to remove it from the bill. In my opinion I would stick to preparing that fresh daily. The hot links are just the right spice, the entire mix was perfect.

What can I say I love this place!…read more Blanca and Genesis are always the best when it comes to customer service!! They're super helpful and always have the best cocktail recommendations. This has to be one of my favorite bars in the San Fernando Valley. The vibes here are super chill. And I love how they offer free parking in the back. Their chicken chipotle panini with truffle fries is to die for I always find myself craving it. Also they make a super great dirty martini and to make it extra dirty I always ask them to add pickle juice SOO GOOD! I also have to say their undressed Bloody Mary is a 10/10 especially when it come with sum celery. THEIR COSMOS ALSO HIT THE SPOT! This place is so worth checking out!

Finally a spot close to home where the food is decent and the drinks are good…read more I usually come with friends here. Drinks are aight. Nothing crazy but good. Good beer selection as well. I've had their burgers in the past which are good. Nothing life changing but solid. My favorites are the Brussel sprouts add bacon and Buffalo Chicken Tenders for apps. Both of these are great. The strips which I'm pretty sure aren't prepared in house but they're on the lighter breaded sided. So it's not all breading. The blue cheese is fantastic too. My always go to is the Steak Chimichurri Salad. This is amazing. Especially if you're doing low-carb / keto. Salad dressing is very light. Steak cooked perfectly. And the rest of the toppings are avocado, red onion and grape tomatoes add a subtle balance. Delicious. I always get this as it is filling and healthy. One thing I would avoid is the asada fries. Those were forgetful.

The restaurant felt very intimate and home like! The only down side about our experience was the menus, they seemed pretty old and damaged. Some of them were just falling apart completely! 8/10!!

Came here for a girl's brunch, and we are so glad we did! Cafe De Olla has been a place I've wanted…read moreto visit for a while now, and it did not disappoint! We got the Sweet Temptation French toast, the Very Berry French toast, and the Chilaquiles Divorciados. Parking was easy to find (street parking) and we didn't have to wait long for our table. The staff are all very friendly! We asked our waiter for suggestions and he was very helpful. Two of us were feeing sweet, one was feeling savory, and there were plenty of options on the menu. I got the Sweet Temptation French toast. This was delicious. The Dulce de Lèche was rich, but balanced out with the acidity from the strawberries. The French toast was exactly as you would imagine, cooked well and had a nice flavor. The French toast came with a side of eggs, meat, and potatoes. I chose over medium eggs, bacon, and hash browns. My eggs were cooked right, the bacon was crispy without being brittle, and the hash browns were perfect. Definitely worth it! My friends got the Very Berry French toast and the Chilaquiles Divorciados. They both said theirs were delicious as well. The ambience of the restaurant is clean and nice. There's seating indoors and outdoors, we chose to eat inside. The waiter checked on us a few times to make sure we were still doing okay, and we never felt rushed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Cafe De Olla. I'll be back to try their other menu items (:

Had a great experience at Myke's Cafe this morning. I ordered the chorizo plate, and my daughter…read morehad the kids' French toast. She loved it so much that we ended up ordering a second plate of the regular French toast. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. The ambiance was calm, the aesthetics were beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the outdoor patio. Random, but the women's restroom was stunning. I personally hate using public restrooms because they're usually the forgotten space and not very well kept. That definitely wasn't the case here -- it was absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully designed.

I have been to this restaurant a handful of times, and it's always been a great experience, but…read moretoday was bizarre. As always, the food was great, portions are generous, the restaurant was busy and our server was nice. My friend and I came in for breakfast, ordered our entrees and both ordered iced tea. The cups our beverages were brought in, were plastic to go cups, but I was like okay whatever, maybe the kitchen is busy and they didn't have time to clean the glasses. My friend asked for a refill, and I don't remember if she was brought over an entirely new drink or if the server took her plastic cup away, and refilled it. About five minutes later when I asked for a refill, we were then notified that they charge for refills. So, the first time we were charged for a refill without being notified, and then when I asked for a refill we were then told of this "refill" charge, which is basically the cost of an entirely new drink. I declined the "refill." So, for 3-20 oz black iced teas we were charged $12.75. I understand that prices are going up, and restaurants may charge for refills, but the way this was handled was off putting and kind of gross. AND THEN, there is something on the receipt called "cash discount", but it is actually an additional line item charge (I paid w/my Visa cc).

(3/5) Food was actually solid -- biscuits & gravy were rich,…read moreeggs cooked right, and the sausage hit. No complaints on flavor. But the experience got weird real quick. The menu clearly states that Ranch House breakfasts come with your choice of country potatoes or hash browns. I ordered the Biscuits & Gravy & Eggs (which is listed in that section), but when I asked about the missing hash browns, I was told they don't come with it and it's an extra charge. That directly contradicts what's printed on their own menu. Not trying to argue over potatoes, but it's the principle either update the menu or honor what it says. It just leaves a bad taste, and not the good kind. I'd come back for the food, but the pricing/menu clarity needs work.

A great sage once inspired me by saying "be realistic, plan for a miracle". Shouldn't we all live…read moreby that? I have wanted ethnic and exotic restaurants to move farther north and even come to the SCV. My wishes have been granted and we have Lebanese, Japanese, and Indian restaurants that rival the best in the southland. But, we lacked Ethiopian, one of my favorite cuisines. Not any more! Joy of joys, there is Ranch Side Cafe, just 20 minutes from Valencia and a stone's throw from two freeways. Ranch Side Cafe is sui generis. There is a stupefyingly broad and deep menu of American and Mexican fare (see my photos), but most and best of all, there is a very credible Ethiopian list too and that is what we visited for. A sunny cool day, bathed in golden light, this place just glowed warmth and welcome. It took a minute to appreciate all the little touches and the original artwork on the walls. There were ample tables inside and out, and a cheerful staff. The minute we walked in, we were greeted from across the room and invited to sit anywhere we wanted. I always choose a window (clean!) and then sat down to study the choices that were many. People think vegetarians eat rabbit food, you know, plain vegetables and non-gluten breads. If anyone is observant they will realize that we eat far more complex and seasoned food than meat-eaters. Ethiopian meals place a large emphasis on non-animal dishes, so it is a natural for me. Add to it that they have unique and elegant spices and the ordinary vegetable becomes a heavenly ambrosia. Also, it was full even on a late Sunday afternoon -- people streamed in the entire time we were there. Lake View Terrace (of Patrick Swayze fame) is a beautiful, verdant, horse-loving town, too, so the trip there was delightful as well. Our vegetarian platters were cooked to order. We enjoyed cups of delicious hot Italian coffee, a lovely server named Marisa who anticipated our every wish, and we took home half of the generous dishes we got. The tab was downright scandalously reasonable. Sunny, warm, cheerful, clean, delicious, upbeat and homey -- we are going to return for the Mexican menu next time. I am grateful to the gods for hearing my plea for Ethiopian food so close to home.

Smoky brisket is so delicious for a Friday night fun…read more Got myself 2 lbs of brisket, and just went to town on this juicy, tender meat. It melts in my mouth. Amazing! Come try this juicy brisket cooked Texas style.

I have been to the old one in Compton they won hoodie awards and such. Not the same at all!!…read moreThe players are 35$ per plate with a up-charge of $3 for ribs. (At a rib joint, the nerve) but it wasn't my plate so oh well. First note this is a pick up spot only there is an ordering counter that no more than 4 people can be in at a time. The street is super dark and desolate looking it feels like an industrial area think City of Industry. There's no parking well there's one spot to park for pick up. The street parking is filled with what looked like broken down type cars the four I seen had chalk writing like tow yards do. To the food!!! Ordered 2 two meat meals that come with 2 sides. Not a piece of bread or muffin was included. Please notice the dry @$$ pulled pork? and I got 4 pieces of a rib tip that was the same as 1 maybe 2 real tips ANYWHERE else.the tips were chopped into 2-4 pieces from one full tip. So I really feel cheated and I was frigging hungry -hungry. The pork was dry and couldn't be swallowed without the bbq sauce and drink. She ordered a hot link with ribs and added a side of ribs for an additional $24. The sides came in a small container I had Mac n cheese and greens which every bite I was like wish I had cornbread to add to these greens. While she had greens and the sweet potato (which by the way was the best thing they had going on) the Mac was average I'm about to reheat and toast again before I hit send for this review. Reheated the side of ribs, greens and Mac and it's a bit better than the pulled pork, but this definitely isn't a bbq spot I'd advise anyone to go to nor would I dare try without bbq sauce and a lot of it. Dessert banana pudding last time I was here the desserts were pretty good. This tasted like the yoplait whips yogurts consistency and like knock of Nila wafers I was just sooo utterly disappointed.

After the airport, we came here for some brunch. Our waitress told us that the best items were the…read morechilaquiles and the huevos rancheros. We got both of them, cut them in half and ate those. Then we saw a tiramisu French toast on the sign and gave that an order as well. If you come here, I feel you need to get both the huevos rancheros and the chilaquiles. They actually balance each other perfectly. Both of the flavors are just so well crafted, plus you get so much avocado with each of your dishes. We were really excited for the tiramisu French toast though. Our order came out looking like pancakes, but it was okay, because these pancakes were made extremely well. They don't have the same texture or density as normal pancakes. They taste a lot better. Plus how they combine all the ingredients is especially lovely. Would come back after going to the airport. Service is great and everyone is so kind and attentive. Ambiance is either indoors or outdoors so you get your choice of where you want to sit. Pet friendly too as they'll bring out a water bowl for a puppy. Woof woof!

It's a small cozy place. Only a few tables inside and some outdoors. Friendly abd quick Service…read more It was early so only 3 tables were occupied. I sat at the corner but the back door kept open and the wind was pretty strong so I asked to moved to other table. Food were out in a timely manner. Nice presentation. However, the taste was not that great. The salad that came with my food looks like it has been out for a while. Dry and some wilted araarugula. I got a spicy chicken omelet. Was it spicy? Nope. Only a few chopped jalapeño thats not spicy, very little amount of chicken and basil. Pretty unsatisfied with this omelet. Maybe it's an off day, or too early? Not for me? I think so. Stomach was unsettled after the salad. Not coming back.

Surprised by the ratings…read more This is my favorite fast food place period. The staff is pretty nice (and my order is kinda complicated/long), the food is always good, and it's never like too busy. I kinda come here for my work lunch like way too often ;-; They're fast, super consistent, tasty, generally really good. Sometimes if its busy or i get unlucky my order will miss a beat like normal vs extra crispy or something, but its like 9/10 or 19/20 perfect hits The only thing i can criticize is the parking, I don't get it. Like 75% of it is EV or compact but almost everyone just parks anywhere anyways so its whatever Overall my favorite in n out really happy they opened
