Tri Tipps in Valencia: Order the Santa Clarita Sandwich

July 9, 2015 by

Tri Tipps is an unassuming, fast-casual Valencia restaurant specializing in slow roasted, choice cuts of tri-tip beef. This isn't barbecue; it's grill fare! The best selling menu item is probably the Santa Clarita sandwich, which has an enthusiastic following among regular customers thanks to its thick piles of tri-tip served with bacon, Monterey jack, and chipotle ranch. Second in popularity may be the Monster Shred, a sandwich of shredded steak, melted cheese, and jalapenos on a French roll.

If you've got a large group to feed, try one of the family combos, which includes up to two pounds of meat and four large side dishes. Best of all, eating at Tri Tipps won't break the bank, as even the family meals don't cost any more than a pizza delivery.

Tri Tipps offers counter-style ordering and a handful of tables for eating in. Delivery and take-out are also on offer here.

June 25, 2015 by

Bricks on Lyons is a restaurant that centers around all things handheld, from burgers to sandwiches and even unique types of tacos. This popular, casual eatery is located in a discreetly marked brick building in Santa Clarita, and although it’s a bit difficult to find it is very welcoming once you’re inside. The patio area features wooden picnic tables covered in umbrellas and shielded by tall, grassy plants, creating an equally relaxing outdoor space.

The menu mainly consists of different types of gourmet burgers and sandwiches, but it also offers a wide variety of rich, creamy milkshakes served in mason jars to go along with the restaurant’s laid-back vibe. Even the sauces at Bricks are more flavorful than most, and after one taste of the garlic aioli, you’ll likely understand what makes Bricks a local favorite.

Bricks on Lyons is open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays through Sundays.

Enjoy a Leisurely Brunch at Marston’s Restaurant

March 26, 2015 by

More than 25 years ago, husband-and-wife team Sally and Otis Marston opened a charming little breakfast and lunch spot in Pasadena. In 2011, they expanded to include a location here in Valencia. Try a plate of sourdough French toast, rolled in cornflake crumbs that cook into a crispy, golden crust and topped with your choice of fresh berries, nuts, and whipped cream. If savory foods are more your speed, you may be interested in the pulled pork Benedict, which combines two poached eggs with barbecued pork and a spicy hollandaise sauce.

This place is popular, so if you've got a large group or are planning on a Sunday brunch, reservations are highly recommended. Finally, don't forget about Marston’s Restaurant after dark. Dinner near one of the outdoor fire pits can make for a relaxing or romantic evening, and the shrimp risotto and beef tenderloin are popular dinner choices among regulars.

Fab Hot Dogs: Franks Inspired By the Nation’s Eclectic Fares

January 29, 2015 by

Chef Joe Fabrocini, owner of Fab Hot Dogs, traveled the nation exploring each region’s different hot dogs and sausages before returning to the West Coast to found his own hot dog restaurant.

When it comes to the food, however, regulars like the way the sausage casing on the all-beef hot dogs snaps when you bite into it. Popular menu items at Fab Hot Dogs include the Chicago dog, the Carolina dog, the cheese Coney, the Ripper, the LA Street dog and the grilled chicken and Swiss sandwich.
