1. The New Rick & Brian's Cafe & Bakery
What crap.
I took pictures but I'm just going to trash them like I did with the ultra-greasy Monte Cristo, fries & onion rings. Effin' horrible. Groupon deceived!
This is no cafe. This is a lame excuse for a tuck 'n rolled 50's coffee shop.
Their only…More »
2. Ohana Hawaiian BBQ
I love a good chicken katsu. You know the kind... lightly breaded and fried golden brown, crispy with tasty batter totally complimenting the fresh, steamy chicken inside. Like good chicken fingers from a fine restaurant (i.e., Houston's), you savor…More »
3. Joe's Sushi Restaurant
Ugh, the little flying bugs, the ones you find in unkempt bathrooms, made for a nasty meal even though the company was outstanding.

Bear with me, friends, this is a two-part review. It had to be.
Pt 1, "First Strike":
Based… Read more »
4. El Pollo Loco
Okay, the update. On Sat, I received a "sorry 'bout that" coupon and used that to order some tacos al carbon and a Hot Fudge Sundae. As they passed over the sundae, I asked "Is this fudge or chocolate syrup?" They replied it was fudge. Still…More »

I've been contacted by 3 different El Pollo "staffers" who promise me immediate and effective… Read more »
5. Ristorante daVinci - CLOSED
Sorry Leonardo, but this machine of yours just won't fly. Sure, it's pretty and all but the engine lacks the thrust, the oomph, to get it off the ground. You need more heat.
I guess it all began with our server messing up our orders several times. Or…More »
6. Wiley's Well Rest Area
Check the photos*, for a photo can save a thousand words and if you can hold it, wait till you get to Blythe 15 miles down the 10. Or, if you don't mind the noxious smell of cooking urine and feces, you might also enjoy the empty view of dirty…More »
7. Sambo's Restaurant
Having dropped into this place for more times than I care to admit over the years, I'll say that it has had its day in the sun and it's time to go the way of the chain it once buoyed as the original. The world's stage has moved beyond a place called…More »
8. Chili's Grill & Bar
Since being diagnosed with a bad disease, I've become, perhaps, hypersensitive to cleanliness. Or should I say that the need to maintain extremely clean dining surfaces could be life-critical. That being said, following a movie (a dirty, filthy…More »
9. Ristorante Arrivederci
Yuck and ew, shock and awe, defines our experience at Arrivederci this week. They ought to issue every diner a fly-swatter as they enter because these bugs ruled the air here and were quick to find landing on the food. While the open windows helped…More »
10. International House of Pancakes
I jones, you jones, we all jones.
My IHOP jones was simple enough...the "International omelet". I can take or leave everything else..the pancakes, the coffee, OJ, whatever. But the omelet must have that certain something in it and it used to be about…More »

11. Little India Grill
If you've never tried Indian food before, or if you're looking for delicious curries, masalas, tandooris and all the other taste treats that make up fine Indian cuisine. then avoid this place like the plague.
It was so bad, I can't describe it...and…More »
12. Big Mike's Philly Steaks & Subs
El Segundo, CA 90245
(310) 726-9638
Categories:
Steakhouses,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: El Segundo
Big on chopped meat and garlic, small on flavor.
Absolutely unimpressive except for the fact that an incredible heaping of chopped garlic on your fries will make your breath reek and friends recoil the rest of the day while the huge pile of dark brown…More »
13. Cheng Du - CLOSED
Los Angeles, CA 90024
(310) 478-3270
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: West Los Angeles, Westwood
Karma: What goes around, comes around...
Cheng Du is history, gone the way of the dinosaur. May they reincarnate as viscous green phlegm (sorry for the visual but they earned that). This was a place truly worthy of closure and I breath easier knowing…More »

14. Hank's Pizza & Deli
Steven G writes in his Yelp review of this place, "this pizza is a gastrointestinal time bomb. I woke up at midnight to VIOLENT bouts of acid reflux". Well, so was my $16 marinara entrée as was other's in our party. Fortunately, I was prepared with…More »
15. Boston's The Gourmet Pizza
This place is goin' south. Gourmet my ass.
I rarely eat pizza but when my friend wanted me to shut up about surfing while at the Aquarium of the Pacific by offering to buy lunch, what's a girl gonna say, "No"?...right.
Al's from the Bronx (he…More »
16. The Original Lobster Festival
Sept 5-7, 2008, and if it weren't for everything else combined, I'd say stay at home, dine in and get your money's worth.
I'm frugal, you know that by now. So when we paid $12 to park and then $30 for an overcooked, chewy, shrunken carcass of a small…More »
17. Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles
Unimpressive. Mom does better fried chicken. Hell, I could do better. But, to be fair, when my brother arrived in town, I asked if he was hungry. He's a big boy, easily making two of lil ole me. He was (hungry), after all, just arriving from St Louis…More »
18. Coast Anabelle Hotel
Burbank, CA 91506
(818) 845-7800
Categories:
Hotels,
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: Burbank
Update 10 Sep: Burn me once, shame on you. I thought I'd give em a 2nd chance at cooking. The "chef" can't get it right if I went into the kitchen and showed him how. A simple burger ($9), cooked to a nickel- alloy meteorite (they never asked how I…More »
19. Dave & Buster's
A gf recently moved into a rental unit just across the parking lot from Dave & Buster's and she invited me to join her for dinner. "It's only a 5-minute walk.", she said, and It would be both our first times.
While D&B's exuded a sense of charm and…More »
20. Park Bench Café
Oh, does this place stink!
I'm not kidding. You see all these rave reviews about dogs running around and how cute that is? What a load...literally. To be fair, I've eaten @ Park Bench probably 4 times now, each time after a good Huntington surf,…More »
