Claro's Italian Markets

Reviewed By YukonDiver - Coronado, California

I think of Claro's as my source of great Italian foods for home preparation - even though I live over 120 miles away. Their sausage, is a must purchase, any time I am in town, their choice of cheese & cold-cuts is just as awesome. Other Italian staples from this Full service Italian market are the best as well & they serve great Deil sandwiches as well.
During the summer I have been known to visit the nearby Stater Bros Market, just to get a bag of ice, to insure that my Deli Items will make the 2+ hour trip to my home in their insulated bag

Eureka Burger

A collection of America's best. Eureka! Features an elevated American selection of craft beer, whiskey, regional wine, & locally sourced ingredients.

Reviewed By kay k - Metro Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota

Fun, lively atmosphere and really tasty, well prepared food. Burgers are delicious, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Bakery quality poppy seed buns were a nice touch. The butcher's steak dip sandwich is also great. The Fresno Chile's added just the right amount of heat. Side salads were very good and fries were crisp and hot. We sat at the bar and enjoyed fast, friendly service.

In-N-Out Burger

In-n-trapped-n-finally-out Burger! 20mins in a drive through!

This place reminds me of a Tim Horton's multi-lane drive through. You have the right lane drive through for everyone and then the left lane for those that have passengers.

Passenger or not, take the LEFT LANE! No one is there. Park the car and do the stretch over to the passenger window - pretty sure we all did something like that at one time of another for some reason! :))

Otherwise, the right lane has 3-4 cars and that's a 15-20minute trap!

First time at this place and by the way there are regular restaurant INOBs too.

The burgers are the standard griddle fried and sloppy cheesed on a small white bun variety. Those who's been to shake shack...same thing. Thinly cut fresh fries completes the meal - oh...yes...with a pop.

The burger is definitely better than your standard clown or the crown food. Not better than Five-guys - sorry INOB'ers. Also, still prefer Harvey's over this any day - for those who wanna know...it's a Canadian thing.

The best thing about this place was it was open late. When I finally got to the IE and checked into the hotel, nothing else was open but fast food. Does hit the spot when you've been flying and driving forever!

Panda Inn Restaurant - Ontario

Panda Inn is a leader in upscale Chinese cuisine. The restaurant was established through the vision of Andrew Cherng, founder and chairman of parent company Panda Restaurant Group, and his father, Master Chef Ming-Tsai Cherng. The concept remains simple - to introduce regional Chinese cooking to a local audience. Today, Panda Inn carries on that tradition in a more casually sophisticated setting, practicing the Chinese art of balancing a mixture of tastes and textures in each entree to delight the senses.

Reviewed By LeaderInAction - Los Angeles, California

This restaurant is your typical fast food Chinese chain restaurant. This is the same restaurant usually found at malls. This is a stand alone restaurant with drive-thru service, which is pretty convenient. This location is always clean and service is fast and friendly.

Vince's Spaghetti

Reviewed By Joe F - Cary, North Carolina

First time diner at Vinces, was not disappointed. As previously mentioned don't be deterred by its looks. As we walked to our table you could tell the portions were huge, so we ordered the half portions of their pasta special, still could not finish. Only thing we'd change for our next visit is to go easy on their famous house marianna sauce, it smothers the pasta. Great service from Cynthia.

Molly's Souper

Reviewed By NormKeith - Azusa, California

Molly's Souper is neat, quirky, nostalgic, and homey and is set in an old two story house with lots of outside dinning. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. The service was fast and friendly. I had read that someone thought that the food was pricey. Not at all unless they just eat at chain fast food places. The prices were reasonable and very must in line with the serving size. I had 3 eggs with their home fries which was better than most and wheat toast. One friend had pancakes with eggs, pancakes cooked perfectly and served hot not like barely warm I get from IHPO. My other friend had a strange sounding breakfast called breakfast salad. Breakfast salad was yogurt, berries, oatmeal and a bran muffin. We had a nice visit and good food.

The Hat

Reviewed By Paul C - Upland, California

Firstly this a really efficiently run place. There is an army of folks behind the counter who jump on your order and get it filled quickly.
The sandwiches are great - pastrami dip, burgers. The sides are huge! Fries, wet fries, chili fries, onion rings: you get a mountain. Each is at least a meal in itself or as a side bring 2 or 3 friends to share (or be sure to bring a huge appetite!).
May not be fine dining but a great place for a fast and tasty dinner!

Caffe Allegro

Reviewed By Sierra_Gray_Wolf - Nevada City, California

We met my sister there for her birthday. Unfortunately, it was a Thursday and the street was closed for a very sparse street fair. In fact, there was not one thing on the block where the restaurant was, but the street was closed. Since my sister was in a wheelchair, that made things difficult. The restaurant itself is itself is in need of some TLC, with chipped and fading paint, plus the door to the patio wouldn't latch and kept blowing open. That gave us a blast of 4th rate music from a live band close by. That being said, the food was very good, though not exceptional. I had the scallops and they were not overcooked, common in too many restaurants, with a decent sauce. Risotto was good, but not great. The service was very good. No real complaints, but with all the closed businesses on the street, it felt like a soon-to-be ghost town. Sad. In another location, it would do much better.
