The Scene – Wanna-be wacky décor, exposed brick walls decked with modern canvases and an open kitchen with loopy tile mosaic set the stage for high school dates, family dinners and office workers' lunch breaks. – – The Food – The Croc bridges the culinary generation gap. Mom and Dad can get eclectic with dishes like oakwood-grilled salmon bathed in a guajillo sauce while the kids can wolf down their beloved burgers and curly fries. Culinary epiphanies are unlikely but the food is consistent and the prices right, with most entrees hovering around $10. If you only…

Yummy Bread... but....

The Croc as we call it has a great ambience and great bread, but their dishes are only average. Their prices are kind of on the high side for lunch. None the less, it is a great place to go to have a business lunch. I would recommend their fish of the day specials and their ravioli specials. The waiters are very sweet and service is great.

  • Pros: Ambience, service
  • Cons: Prices, food

I love this place! Unique Food and Cool Waiters

by showmethemoney at Citysearch

I've been eating here for several years, and I don't see snobbery or anything like that. It's a nice place for lunch. I had a salad with blue cheese, pears and walnuts, in a raspberry viniagrette that was to die for. Another time I tried the daily special of a crusted halibut with a unique fruity sauce. Mashed potatoes were heavenly. Go with the waiter's recommendations here, try something different that you've never had before. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of Southern California food.

  • Pros: food, staff

Ten Bucks for a Burger??

by tetsu_no_ryori_nin at Citysearch

Nestled at the foot of Glenoaks and Brand, this eatery is a favorite for corporates and well-to-do elites alike.

If you make less than 100k per year and don't drive a new benz, expect to feel a bit out of place.

The food is no better than Denny's, but at three times the price, with an ambiance a mix of CoCo's Meets the Castaways.

  • Cons: , Food below standard, Snobby Clientele
