They usually have a good burger special available, however their breakfast burritos and steak sandwiches are what keep us coming back.

Stopped here on our way to Las Vegas for lunch. Penny was our lovely wee waitress. Good amount of food on the plate. I ordered a 1/2 share of Nachoes and that was plenty for a lunch. Husband had prime rib salad & that was a big dinner plate size. Nice clean restaurant. Can recommend.

Peppi's

Reviewed By Mafprincess

When ever I'd come visit my grandparents we'd get Peppi's every so often. Now that we live here it's a place that's part of the norm. The staff is so friendly and it varies a variety of food. My personal favorite is the meatball grinder. They are so yummy and filling. They're double cheeseburgers are HUGE, and much more on the menu. There's in and outdoor seating that's very homey and quiet. They can be found on Yelp and have been featured on KTLA5 need station. Definitely check it out.

Very nice place to go. It is a sports bar, but they have a room with the bar and you can eat in a section off the bar . Food is good, and their hamburgers are big and tastey.

Great restaurant atmosphere with open view of the big Barbecue Smoker! Customer and server service were excellent. Server gave excellent recommendations for first time visitors. The appetizers were unique and very flavorful. Would definitely recommend the barbecue Beef Brisket Tips. The Brisket Tips were well cooked and very tender!

AUGUST 2019 UPDATE: WARNING TO CUSTOMERS - PLEASE READ THIS!!!Since my July 2019 review, we received our credit card statement. First let me explain that we had paid our bill using 2 credit cards to split the bill in half. We left all but $5 of the tip on one charge card. On the other card we put a $5.00 tip to make the total a specific amount. Our credit card statement showed we were charged a $50.00 tip, not $5.00. My husband called the restaurant manager and after some research, a “0” was added to the tip amount!!! He was asked if he was sure he didn’t write $50 by accident. He explained that he had already left a tip on our other charge card. The manager said she’d credit the $50 and if he’d still like to leave the waitress (who changed the $5 to to $50!) the $5 tip! HUH??? Unbelievable!Keep your receipts and check your credit card statements to make sure you were charged the correct amount. Below was my original review from our July 2019 evening at Fleming’s:We were lucky to find a table in the bar area during Happy Hour - it was very busy and packed, and very noisy. Service was excellent and Kathleen was very nice. The Happy Hour menu had a good selection of drinks and food. The prices were reasonable, too. We started with a Blueberry Lemon Drop martini and an Old Fashion. Both are on the HH menu. The martini was very tasty - not overly sweet & the small blueberries in it were yummy. The shrimp scampi was excellent. ($22 on the HH menu.) The shrimp were perfectly cooked and tender. It came with 2 small slices of garlic sour dough. It was perfect together. The HH Prime Burger was good sized and flavorful. It came on a brioche bun, but was too much bread. The French fries were really good, too. ($11 on the HH menu.)We ordered a slice of carrot cake to go. Sadly, it was not good. The cake had a gritty texture to it and the cream cheese frosting was just so-so. They drizzle a little caramel (?) sauce on top which definitely did not help it taste better. It was a waste of $13. It was our first time at a Fleming’s. Very nice restaurant, but Mastro’s is much, much better.

Sundowner’s Family Restaurant Is this your business?

Reviewed By NormKeith

The thing that makes this restaurant are the prices not necessarily the food. You walk in and on eight feet of wall three foot high pictures of menu items turn the corner and another 4 feet of menu breakfast, lunch and dinner. On the next wall are all the 7 day a week lunch specials. It is cafeteria style you pick up your tray, give the person you r order and choose soup or salad. The next person puts the dressing on the salad. You move down farther another person gives you your drinks (there are no refills on sodas, you need to purchase second one) and the next person takes your order slip and you pay. Cash only, there is an ATM machine by the door. The first 3 servers behind the counter were friendly, the cashier was rude. You find your seat and wait for your number to be called. The expeditor calls the number over the speakers which is hard to understand. We both ordered a salad with blue cheese dressing, very runny very mild taste. We both ordered a top sirloin steak, mine medium rare and the steak was about a half inch thick my girlfriend (same type steak) ordered medium but her steak was about a quarter inch thick and was well done. Both steaks were a little tuff, hers more than mine. Bake potato and garlic bread was good. Again Price is the main stay of this restaurant.

They are often busy-especially that after church crowd on Sunday morning-2pm but worth the wait, good country cooking with very big portions - you'll be bringing some home and make a second meal of it, friendly waitresses and very accommodating,I have always left full and glad I came-a little pricey but like I said a second meal for sure-i seem to pick up a pie or something from the case by the checkout and that's always good too....
