I have to say, last time I was at OG, I could not get enough of the salad. Breadsticks were different than I recall (from I think the late 1980s-early 1990s), still delicious, but just not as good.

Hard to say favorite restaurant, more appropriate to say restaurants, since we base decision on desired cuisine. Do not go out to eat often, too expensive and we make just as good, but lately been favoring Eureka, great place for burgers. When we decide to go back to heart healthy, will probably return to Chopan Kebab (best Tandoori fish I have ever had, anywhere).

Never Enough February 16, 2024 - 3:09 PM - 3:09 PM

Buttercup for Breakfast
Chopan Kabob for Dinner
I also miss Scotts

Dbcoop February 16, 2024 - 6:46 PM - 6:46 PM

Shan shan low for chinese – kevins noodle house for pho and la pinata for mexican- never tried chopan kabob but have lived two blocks from it for 15 years gonna have to give it a go

Concord donut February 16, 2024 - 3:11 PM - 3:11 PM

Roxx on Main in Martinez for a nice local evening out
Real upscale: Quince in SF

American Citizen February 16, 2024 - 7:17 PM - 7:17 PM

El Torito. Damn I miss it. The ice tea was bomb.

ClayDen February 16, 2024 - 8:31 PM - 8:31 PM

Best Chinese: Oceania in Amsterdam, local is Uncle Yu’s in Livermore (slightly better than the one in Lafayette IMHO).

Brasas Do Brazil. I’d eat there every day if I could afford it.

Yeah, the ‘favez’, til they end up on the cockroach/rat list

Sandy G February 17, 2024 - 2:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Still miss El Charro
The Embers in Pinole. Great food, huge portions and reasonably priced.

Aunt Barbara February 17, 2024 - 6:38 PM - 6:38 PM

Anyone know good Italian? very sad Rocco’s has gone so far downhill, was so convenient. The live music is horrific. no acoustics, ears ring for hours. plus the food is carelessly prepared.

Prices up….Quality down.

Original Joes might do well when it arrives.

For breakfast, the best is Country Waffles, in Clayton
For good Mexican food, La Tapatia, Willow Pass across from Park & Shop in Concord
For Italian, Luna, in Concord, consistently good, but could use a menu update
For good Happy Hour and Early Bird menu, Wence’s in Pleasant Hill. $20 for 3 course dinner. Good service, consistent quality.

John P February 18, 2024 - 2:02 AM - 2:02 AM

Is any one old enough to remember the Fish place that used to be on Clayton Rd in the strip shop area by Longs? When they left no good fish in the area

Dr. Jellyfinger February 20, 2024 - 9:11 PM - 9:11 PM

I guess not….. give me a couple of years and ask again.
