    Deluxe Combo For Two
    Tim B.

    I wanted to like this place so badly, as I've heard about it many times. The bottom line is this: management needs to staff appropriately for a Saturday night and set expectations with the staff of the basics of running a restaurant. The good: we had a party of 10 and got in on a Saturday within 25 mins. The beef barley soup and the chili were amazing. Some of the best beef barley I've ever had. The blue cheese and the onion rings were amazing. The ribs were slightly above average to me and lacked sauce. The bad: the men's restroom was a humid, dirty mess. You could tell it hadn't been cleaned and it was noticeably 10 degrees hotter and 100x more humid than the restaurant. I had to hold my breath. Maybe get some ventilation in there? Our server had two large parties. Us and another. Every other server had a few small tables of 2 to 4 people. It didn't look like any server helps any other server. We waited 45 mins for waters, salads and soups. Why couldn't the other servers offer to help our server? Poor team work. Our server was kind and had a good personality, but was severely overwhelmed and apologetic. It took an hour and a half get our dinners overall. Not acceptable. This was clearly due to understaffing and lack of teamwork. Management: train your staff to work together more and clean the bathroom. I spent $100 on a meal for 2, a bland strawberry milkshake, and an overall bad experience. If it wasn't for the delicious good, this would be one star.

    Salad with the best blue cheese ever.

    Came here to have dinner on a whim. Pleasantly surprised with their weekly special, which was spaghetti for $16. We decided on another special which included two baby back ribs, one spare and one beef rib for $16.95. The special also included baked potato, super salad and a piece of garlic bread all in which were very yummy. With the economy being what it is, we felt we got our moneys worth. Food was tasty very laid-back environment and most of all we get to watch the Dodger game. Our server Nathan was friendly and pleasant

    Queen Size Prime Rib Dinner
    Samantha S.

    Dropped by for a late lunch and was seated right away. Wasn't too busy but quite loud with the table near us. The staff was somewhat friendly. I used to come here all the time when I was younger, but I hadn't been back in a few years. Unfortunately, the food has definitely changed. It doesn't taste the same, and the prices have gone up to the point where it no longer feels worth it. I ordered my usual: the Queen Size Prime Rib with beef barley soup and all fries. The prime rib was honestly terrible -- I'm not sure if it was the cut or the au jus, but something tasted off and seemed overcooked for medium rare. The beef barley soup was just okay, nowhere near as good as I remember. The garlic bread was still good, and the fries were just plain, nothing special. Overall, I left really disappointed. This place used to hold a lot of good memories from family dinners, but it just isn't the same anymore.

    Again, chili dog made with chili from Chris and Pitts

    One of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had giant hoagie roll giant piece of cod pretty sure I've already left a review on that. What I'm doing is leaving review. I got chili on the side and took it home with the red onions. They gave me for the fish sandwich and put it on Hotdog. It was phenomenal so I recommend if you're a chili dog person it's very tasty chili better than most Hotdog chili you get at these places. It's a slurry very little meat when you get it at these hotdog places the chili here was loaded with beef very little beans. Great flavor some of the best chili dogs I've had in a while homemade with their chili.

    Same comfy dining room for decades.

    I've been coming to this C&P's for 53 years. That's because my parents were coming here before I was born, and then I was here as a baby I've had meals that were great, and meals that were just Meh. The quality has been I consistent the last 10 years or so, but lately it's been really good. It got back to the quality I remember from 20 years ago. The only complaint I had this trip is that it seemed like the ranch dressing was not the same. I used to buy jars of it to take home, but not this time. It tasted processed and not homemade. Oh well. I had the beef ribs dinner, and they were delicious Perfectly smoked with sticky BBQ sauce permeating the meat. So good. The salad and fries were the standard good. I'll be back of course, and I hope they keep up the consistency

    Chris & Pitts is one of those places that keeps you coming back. The food is always delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the service is consistently outstanding. What really makes this restaurant special is Ruby. Ruby runs the place with such care and professionalism, making every guest feel welcomed and valued. It's clear she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. Great food, amazing service Chris & Pitts never disappoints. Highly recommend! We take the drive all the way from Encino and plan our day out there and that's what I look forward to the most eat at C&P

    The takeout counter
    Rick S.

    It has a great old restaurant feeling. They do have a take out counter. The booth we sat in was comfortable and roomie. I ordered the pull pork sandwich and it comes with fries and one side. I ordered the coleslaw. I did enjoy the slaw it was sweet. The pulled pork was delicious. The flavor, the BBQ sauce has a great flavor to it . The sandwich is served on a French roll. The restaurant and the restroom were clean. The waitress was friendly.

    Does they serve wine?

    Yes. We have great wine!! And a terrific happy hour

    Recently I watched a police chase on youtube from 2015, I think, and the helicopter had to leave before it was settled. Did they get the guy who ran into the restaurant with a gun? I know this is silly but I was just wondering.

    Yes he took hostages. He was in there for about an hour. While he was letting some hostages out he started acting erratic. When SWAT had their opportunity they shot him once and went in and took him out. No hostages were hurt

    Everything was good EXCEPT the STEAK.. No... Seriously…read more This was probably the biggest steak disappointment I've had in a while. The place comfy, the ambience is dark and bar-like, the drink vibes look chill, I have no complaints about the service. The service was good and the staff was nice. All this makes the steak disappointment that much worse for me. We ordered Ribeye and Shrimp Salmon Lobster Mac and Cheese Asparagus Lobster Roll (Sushi) A drink from the bar The Steak.. The steak came served on a cast-iron skillet. I ordered it medium-well. It arrived a little more medium than usual, but that was not an issue. What disappointed me was the puddle the steak was sitting in. Traditionally said puddle is a mixture of butter, thyme, and whatever seasonings you used on the steak when cooking it. In this case, that puddle was flavorless. It really tasted like the steak was just sitting in a flavorless oil. The steak was very bland, very difficult to think someone could send out a piece of meat out like that, especially when you find out what it costs. It was not worth it and not worth the final tab unfortunately. Really wanted to find a steak W for Downey but I don't see myself being interested in this place again.

First off, our server Emily was rude and non attentive. Never came around to ask if we wanted more drinks after the first serving. We brought a bday cake for my daughter which they cut and serve for the table. She served the table and was short two plates. When she came to serve the last two, she handed it over and said "HERE" ... I looked and my wife and we both laughed since it pretty much summed up the kind of service she provided throughout the night. Needless to say, for the 18% gratuity that was automatically billed to our party, she fell way short of what you'd expect for such a nice place. We ordered a couple appetizers, one of which was the queso fundido with chorizo for an extra charge. I love queso fundido and figured , simple dish, not hard to screw up, but they did. Super salty, not sure what kind of cheese but it definitely wasn't good quality. Biggest disappointment aside from the bad service were their tortillas. I opened up the container to grab a tortilla and was beyond disappointed. For being such a nice place , I'd think they'd at least serve some decent tortillas. El Torito has better tortillas and they're not even that good. The tortillas looked like they were pulled from a cheap bag of store bought small corn tortillas and they weren't even warm. The dry tortillas broke when I folded them to make a taco with the queso fundido . I immediately told the young man who brought them and asked if he could bring some warm tortillas for the appetizer. The young man was apologetic and came back with another container of tortillas which were also not warm and didn't even look like they had marks from being heated on a comal. After seeing the tortillas served with the other dishes it was obvious the bad quality of tortillas was standard for this place. My daughter ordered the tuna tower which was a tiny serving of supposedly fresh tuna which I highly doubt since she ended getting really sick from it. She has been throwing up since last night and had to call off work this morning. I work in the sport fishing industry and we eat tons of fresh caught tuna, not once have we've been sick from any fish that is properly handled. So beware of any raw fish from this place. It's either not handled properly or it's not fresh. My wife called this morning to speak to a manager and bring the bad fish to their attention but Gaby the hostess mentioned that there was no manager available to take her call. This place was definitely not worth the hype and our experience was extremely disappointing . We will definitely not be going back. Do better Diosa.
