The Derby

Reviewed By Jeffrey R - Bedford

As expected. Consistent with other reviews. Had lesser steak-house experiences and much higher prices. Good value for the money. Highly recommend.

The Hat

Reviewed By Kevin W - San Gabriel, California

Everyone should visit the Hat. They have several locations in the San Gabriel Valley, and this store is close to home. Great simple menu, location, and cleanliness. They are always cleaning and keeping up the place. Pastrami is their flagship, but I like the dips, sandwiches and chili cheese burgers.

Also- having a big pot of Chilis on the counter always a plus!

JJ Bakery

Reviewed By ElHuevonComelon - Texas

... go to this delicious bakery and pick up desserts. The Asian bread selection is superb and the different sweets are delicious. The double cheesecake is quite amazing, fluffy and not heavy at all. The staff members are friendly and patient with questions.

Newport Seafood Restaurant

Reviewed By MsLATam - Carlsbad, California

My husband ordered the crab and kept repeating, “This is the best crab I have ever had.” That is saying a lot as we usually seek out Michelin rated restaurants when traveling. My fish fillet with basil was also very aromatic and delicious! Can’t wait to return! In the end, it was Memorable!

In-N-Out Burger

At In-N-Out Burger, quality is everything. Stop by to enjoy our menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries and shakes. In-N-Out makes fast food the old fashioned way.

Reviewed By debandrob0821 - Albany, NY

My teenage son and I recently visited our first In-N-Out Burger while travelling. Although it was good, I found it no better or worse than Five Guys, or other burger places. We each had a burger, fries and shake. Decent value for the money.

Really friendly people running the place. An excellent choice of freshly made sandwiches. The donuts are fresh and tasty. Especially love the sprinkled donut holes.

Julienne

Reviewed By Hexy - Gloucester, Massachusetts

This cafe and gourmet shop is like something straight out of France. Absolutely beautiful inside, with unique gift items, pates, pastries, chocolates, cheeses and other delicacies. The cafe looks like a room in a French chateau. Unfortunately we arrived less than an hour before closing, so the cafe part was already closed. The two gentlemen at the counter were incredibly kind, encouraging us to sit at the outside tables and providing us with everything needed to enjoy pate, crackers and dessert. They even opened the pate for us and provided extra wrapping so we could take the leftover home. They truly went above and beyond! Everything was delicious, including the cafe au lait and cappuccino. This cafe is a treasure!

One of my choices for ribs. Good size servicing and great service. While you wait for your order, peanuts are served and the floor is covered with peanut shells giving it a very rustic feel. Love the cord bread too.

Mama Petrillo's

Reviewed By LT7744 - South Pasadena, CA

The Petrillo's family name in the San Gabriel Valley area means quality food and good service. Many of it's dishes have been passed down through the generations in this family run establishment located on Las Tunas Drive in the changing community of Temple City. With the influx of Asian eatery's locally this longtime standby offers old world traditional Italian food in a very comfortable setting. Food is all freshly made (therefore it takes a bit longer) and you can taste the difference.

We had been away and had just gotten home after a long airplane ride so we just wanted an easy meal. I had pastrami melt & my wife had the steak salad with a glass of wine. We had good, prompt service and all the food was great.
