You'll feel welcomed here

by sansna at Citysearch

This place is a diamond in the rough. Have only been here twice in the evening but the afternoons are fabulously interesting. You'll never know who you'll meet - some young kids who are big Lakers fans or an older gent who must watch the local news at 1pm. Although their daily specials are mostly Mexican, they make delicious clam chowder on Fridays. Sliders are pretty good. You must try the onion slivers. Oh, and they make a mean bloody Mary.

• Pros: Fun, friendly employees & owners; free parking
• Cons: Not enough lite, healthy menu options

We Love it at DJ's!

by Lance Hudson at Citysearch

Richard and Dean are there every Friday and Saturday night and they are the Best Entertainers in town! They both play horns, keyboards and stuff and play all of our old favorites, everything from Glen Miller to Johnny Cash and Toby Keith. Dean was born to entertain and couldn't ask for a better backup man than Richard. If you go, ask them about the Keytar.

Ramon is there a few nights during the week, is quite excellent and offering a more relaxed atmosphere.

The food, service and drinks are all excellent and the drinks are both good sized and moderately priced.

• Pros: Great Food, Drinks, Service, and the Best Entertainment!
• Cons: We can't go every night

Great Music and Great Food

by SkinnyCoach at Citysearch

Great little blast from the past. The food is really quite good. Great little red vinyl oversized booths, dark lighting, big inviting bar.... the drinks are cheap and the food is great.

Dean and Richard play on Friday and Saturday night and it is the coolest RETRO horn duo I have ever seen. FUN FUN FUN.

• Pros: Dean and Richard and their horns.
• Cons: NONE

Classic steakhouse w/ great entertainment

by Mary1e at Citysearch

What a great joint in the classic sense. Really small but a real trip! Regulars are hilarious. Food is overall good and fairly priced. Entertainment is 6 nights a week, believe it or not. Weekly is good but duo on Fri. and Sat. nights is a must see. Play multiple instruments and literally rock the place. Drinks are good and strong. Service excellent. A fun place.

• Pros: No trendies at all, regular folks. Entertainment lineup excellent. Good food.
• Cons: Small. Must wait for table on a weekend. Make reservations. Looking a little well worn, but worth it.
