What People Are Saying About Damon's Steak House

Featured Review

In Short – Okay, so technically it's a steakhouse, but the kitschy decor and island theme is what makes it a true blue tiki haunt. An old-time landmark left over from the heyday of Polynesian-themed bars and restaurants back in the late 1950s, the restaurant moved to Brand Boulevard in 1980, and that's when the tiki sparks really started to fly. Take a look at the hostess table, where you'll see an original velvet painting by Tahitian artist Edgar Leeteg. You can't miss the outrigger hanging above the main dining room, the tropical murals on the walls, and the large salt-water aquarium…

Editor's Tips

Happy Hour:
Monday-Friday, 3pm-6pm.
Parking:
There's very limited free parking on Brand Blvd. Try the metered lot directly behind (three hour max) or validated parking at the structure at California and Orange.
Fun Fact:
The South Seas decor theme began almost by accident. A single palm tree in the middle of the original Damon's inspired the gradual addition of artifacts and furnishings.
When to Go:
Check out the Mai Tai brunch on Sundays from 11am to 3pm, with your choice of Mai Tai or Champagne.

Great mai tais and amazing food!

by DrivThruBandit10

Why go to Hawaii when you can get the Hawaiian feel without the trip? I came this week with one of my coworkers and the food was delish. We came after work on Monday and saw that they were running an all day long mai tai special and they were so tasty! We got a great filling meal and definitely plan on coming back another day!

Ran out of Crab legs @ 6:30

by CableMcMan

Been a customer since the days on Central. Went back on Saturday 3/26/11, been a couple of years. It's changing signature salad, someone mess w/the recipe(must be a beet shortage), but the big disappoint was who offers a Steak and crab legs special, on a Saturday night and runs out of crab @ 6:30. Come on Damon's get it together. If it was not for George and your cocktails you would not have a dinner crowd.

Damon's Steak House in Glendale

by dactright

The food was horrible. The servers took forever to service us and the atmosphere was cheesy. I received a gift card for this place not only did they not accept the card but questioned whether we were going to stay. But husband insisted that we stay since it was our anniversary but I wish we had just walked out. WHAT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

This Polynesian steakhouse is one of the best places around

by jeffusc1

Damon's is one of the coolest places in town. It never disappoints. The food is good, the service is great and the atmosphere is just plain fun. You may have to wait a little while for a table but it's well worth it. There's a large bar/lounge area that offers a full selection of tropical drinks (Mai Tai and Chi Chi being the house specialties.) The steaks are good (not "prime" like Ruth's Chris, but good.) The prime rib is excellent. Most of the servers have been there forever and make you feel just like you're at home. The decor is eclectic - leaf-print carpeting, polynesian mural, aquariums, stuffed monkey's and a real canoe. Sure, it's tacky, but it's all part of the experience and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

  • Pros: Good food, good service, fun atmosphere

I love this place!

by jbsullivan

I love this place. It is family run and when you walk in the door you are treated like family. The employees have been there for a very long time and are very kind. My finacee go there about once a week and we just love it. It is also good to meet a friend for a drink after work. As far as the food goes, it is amazing. Their house salad is a must! The steaks are always cooked to perfection. I have yet to have a bad meal there. If you are a local I recommend that you go. Fun atmosphere as well.

  • Pros: Good food and atmosphere
  • Cons: Sometimes it get a little packed inthere on the weekends.
