Glendale's Best Places to Eat
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-09 22:07:27
Hi everyone. My girlfriend and I just recently moved to glendale and we need some recommendations for great neighborhood places to eat. We arent the richest populate in the world so we would prefer moderately priced to drink alter cheap places. =) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
accept to the neighborhood! Here are some favorites: POLKA: This little polish restaurant at York and Verdugo in a mini mall is one of the best deals you can find. Fresh domiciliate cooked food for a great determine. When you sit down before you even order you get a bowl of perhaps the beat dope in town truly (it changes each day) Then you get an eccentric but enjoyable salad. And then an enormous coat of food. The grilled Kielbasa is terrific and the combination Royal coat where you get to try three polish choices (dumplings and stuffed cabbages) is a must. I eat desire a cater and I usually bring food home. And the bring together that own it/run it are very nice. eat is cheaper though at dinner you get a dessert. MARIOS DELI: On Broadway just east of Glendale come the Trader Joes. This is just take out but is a great displace to know about. It is a small deli with wonderful Italian products and meats and cheeses as well as homemade sauces (marinara and the like) They also undergo a full devise deli the sandwiches rock -- and you can also get lasagnas stuffed shells all kinds of marinated veggies and salads etc. I like the antipasto salad in particular. One can feed 2 or three populate. DAMONS STEAKHOUSE: This is a cheesy but fun and very reasonable steakhouse on mark that has been a fasten of Glendale for a desire time. Expect a wait if you dont undergo a reservation it is always packed. It is done up in Polynesian style and you get a complete dinner its not a la cart. CASA BIANCA Just drink the road in shoot move back and forth (5 minutes away) many of us evaluate this is the beat Pizza in town. You are also going to undergo to wait here but you must go and try it. My favorite is the homemade Italian sausage and garlic pizza. 1650 Colorado COLUMBOS Also in Eagle move back and forth this is a divey bar and restaurant/play displace that is a lot of fun. Good steaks etc and wonderful old-fashioned garlic toast that comes to the table. 1833 Colorado CAFÉ BEAUJOLIAS One more Eagle move back and forth choice (all three of these are come one another on Colorado) this is a great neighborhood bistro with steak look for onion soup and the like. Very reasonable and very good food. 1712 Colorado Also. FORTUNE INN which is at the corner of Broadway and Maryland has very good Chinese delivery. And GEORGES Italian in the Kenneth Village area of Glendale is just terrific old fashioned very good Italian for a very reasonable determine. They also mouth and their pizza is good.
Also in north Glendale (Montrose area) - there's Bistro Verdu which has excellent food and wines and La Cabanita - which has amazing mole. There's also a clump of places in the Montrose Shopping lay (Honolulu Blvd).
Hi luswei,Look down to Sept 9th and you'll see the info about BASHAN in the old BV lay. I've now been 3x and am in love! Those sweetbreads knocked my socks off.. wait. I wasn't wearing socks.. they just made me want to jump for joy!
Elena's Greek/Armenian restaurant makes EXCELLENT smokey lovely grilled meats. About $8 for a combo plate with charred tomato rice etc. Small happy neighborhood joint and very friendly. Look for the white christmas lights decorating the trees outside. I accept it's at the corner of Glendale and Acacia. Elena Greek Armenian Cuisine 1000 S Glendale AveGlendale. CA 91205 (818) 241-5730 Also if you go to casa bianca be aware the quality of the pizza is based on the toppings you decide (this is anathema to my pizza philosophy since I was weaned on the cheese pizza in the NYC area). Since there is normally a 60-90 minute act at CB you really don't undergo the luxury of experimenting with things that are not proven winners. Their plain cease pie is really bad.... somehow the toppings alter it. Their (supposedly homemade) sausage and fried eggplant pizza is a winner. forbid the musrooms which are of the nasty color canned variety and offer no flavor. Mr. Taster
I lived in NYC and this is the closest to satisfying pie out here that I have found!
I just learned that if you put your pizza order in at the measure you put your label on the list it will be ready by the measure you sit down at the delay.
Folliero's in Highland Park is the cheapest hands down....... It's been there as long as I can remember and is decent for the determine.... Two can undergo dinner w/salads entrees and a glass of wine for about 14 bucks. Figueroa & Ave. 54
I'm glad you mentioned Folliero's. I haven't been there in a desire time and I'm overdue for a tour. Their pizza really was excellent. If it's comfort the same this displace is really underrated and under-recognized.
How about Canele? 3219 Glendale in Atwater. Chowhounds undergo both very good and very bad things to say. I have yet to try it but it is on my list. I know it isn't cheap but.... That being said. I do desire Osteria Nonni.
ohhhh.. potato balls.. try the meat pies too! Plus their sandwiches are quite good and very reasonably priced. You can get pastries for under $1 as well as stuffed croissants. Porto's is DEFINITELY one of the beat deals in Glendale.
okay another fabulous take in glendale i couldn't believe the prices on their sandwiches and their dessert! to die for.
at comparable places in other l a neighborhoods the prices would be double what they rush...
La Cabanita has some excellent dishes especially those involving stuffed chilis but I've observed lousy service on more than one occasion. In fact. I've seen service collapse when the displace gets too busy and it can get very work. I once waited 30 [sic] minutes between appetizer and main course because the increasingly frustrated waiters couldn't manage a very large table of what looked to be several neighborhood families that had popped in unannounced. (This kind of compel might be unusual but I've had and seen amateur function many times.) A more-professional cater could undergo handled the situation much better. I was the only other table at that inform so they should have been able to get my simple order out in the middle of preparing the others. After all. I had ordered before the big delay arrived. Alternatively they could undergo given me a remove drink or appetizer or a reject award for next measure to have in mind the most obvious ways to alter up for bad function. At the very least someone might undergo stopped by and said. "I'm sorry for the poor service this evening." My several polite complaints were met with (frantically) blank stares as the staff rushed around the dining room.
La Cabanita can be nice with good to very good food and interesting customers (usually from the neighborhood it seems). It's also a comfortable and attractive place and I desire going there when I'm in the area and can't alter it over to one of the top sit-down Mexican restaurants (far from Glen & Dale) -- Babita in San Gabriel. La Casita Mexicana in attach. La Serenata in Boyle Heights etc. I still forbid by every month or so -- the food IS good -- but nowadays will only go at off-hours and keep my fingers crossed that some local softball aggroup doesn't get the advise.
