Drinks were great, I really liked the macadamia chi chi! Food was decent, but we only got a few appetizers so we didn't really try their main dishes. Servers were kind. The setting is what really makes the place though! Feels like you're in a totally different world. Decorated so well and is an ideal location to feel like you've escaped LA! Even considering buying a shirt! read more

My parents used to take me here when I was a kid, I loved the aquariums and weird dark decor. The place has not changed, same salad and steaks along with some garlic bread and if you like a good mai tai you will love this place, plenty of parking in back and super friendly staff. I am a sucker for old dark pleather steak house with a bit of tiki. It's an experience! You just need to be in the right mindset. Don't expect prime aged beef and a sommelier, just good old American style dinning read more

We came to Damon's tonight to celebrate a birthday and almost from the beginning the service was not good. We had an early reservation for 330p. We were seated in the very back and it took almost 20 minutes for someone to come and start talking to us and asking for our orders. The waitress came to take our drink order, when she left, took another 20 minutes to return. She later came to take our dinner order. The salad arrived promptly but then nothing else did. It probably took another 25 minutes for the entrées to arrive. 2 of Steaks were not prepared to the proper temperature, they were ordered Medium and were raw inside, so they had to be returned to continue cooking. One of the dishes had the incorrect side dish. One entrée salad we ordered never arrived. The server who brought the entrees promptly took the dishes back in order to correct the steaks however, the steaks took another 20-25 minutes to come back and only returned after we had to ask someone about their status. Every time we looked around for the waitress, we could not locate her. When the meal was just about done, again we were looking around for our waitress to inquire about dessert and the check. After being unable to locate her, we asked for the check from about four different people. Finally, I had to get up from the table, go to the front and ask for someone to bring us the check. The employee I spoke to said they were waiting to bring the check with the dessert. That was a dessert that we had asked for 30 minutes prior. When the check arrived, again we could not locate the waitress, so I took the check up to the front to pay the bill. While the food was tasty, and the atmosphere was good, the service was very lacking today. This is not how I remember it being at Damon's. I don't think I will return with a large party. It was a shame since we were celebrating a family birthday and it was not the great experience that we were expecting. read more

The food and services are very good! I love the prime rib, and the bread is very good too as well as the salad. read more

Been coming to Damon's for over 40 years. Only change is that they always improve a great product! Saturday night here is packed , loud and bustling .sports bar in back, booths and a large party room in front with very professional servers. Parking in back and on street .Coulette steak is tender and juicy. Twice baked potato's are still great and the salad tossed at your table is a fav. Filet mignon is a thick generous cut perfectly cooked . Add their signature orange cake to a dual birthday party and it was a perfect dinner, read more

If you're in the mood for retro tiki vibes, solid steaks, and a killer Mai Tai, Damon's Steakhouse is the move. The place has that classic tiki-lounge-meets-steakhouse feel--dim lighting, bamboo decor, and just the right amount of retro charm. The steaks are consistently good. Juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked how you actually asked for it (which, sadly, is becoming rare). I had the ribeye and it hit the spot--super flavorful and tender. Sides were solid too, especially the garlic mashed potatoes. Now, the real MVP? The Mai Tai. Sweet, strong, and dangerously easy to drink. You can tell it's their signature for a reason. Definitely grab one (or two) while you're there. Overall, it's not trendy or flashy, but that's part of the charm. Just good food, strong drinks, and a chill atmosphere. Worth checking out, especially if you're into the throwback vibe. read more

Damon's is the best place for Thanksgiving dinner! Great food, great drinks, and great service!!! Thank you Damon's read more

I've been a patron of Damon's for 30 years. You get the best damn steaks at the best damn price in LA. Period and Guaranteed!

Tiki Bars have become cool again, but Damon's has been a local institution in Glendale since 1937. With its laid-back atmosphere and unpretentious vibes, it's a suitable place to chill and relax while having a cocktail. The Polynesian themed tiki décor and Hawaiian murals are lively and fun. If you are looking for a good hearty meal, they have that too. I used to frequent Damon's back in the day to imbibe on signature libations because they were strong and cheap. A $5 Mai Tai. Yes, please! The prices have increased but their cocktails still pack a punch. I stopped in with a friend for Happy Hour, which includes Damon's Famous Mai Tai & wells. The place looked different than I remembered but, then again, it's hard to remember much after a few tropical drinks. The music was good, the bartenders were cool, and our conversation was engaging & entertaining, which made for an enjoyable evening. *Metered parking in the back lot and the street. read more

My husband and I came here for our annual Christmas Eve dinner date tradition. We both love historic places and tiki themes, so I was excited to try Damon's despite hearing that it was dated and not at all trendy. It's been around since 1937! When we walked in, it looked like Santa Claus and all of his reindeer threw up all over the restaurant.... totally decked out in all of the lights and cheesiest holiday decor just like I hoped for! The restaurant had lost our reservation and had been having a similar issue with other diners, but still sat us without any problem. We shared calamari and garlic bread, my husband ordered a steak with a twice-baked potato, and I ordered the mahi mahi with creamed corn. My fish was a little dry and overcooked, but the steak was fantastic.... why do I always order non-steak items at a steakhouse and regret it? He definitely ordered better than I did, and I look forward to coming back for a steak of my own. Specialty drinks are the chi chi and the mai tai (which tasted almost identical and seemed to be the same drink but orange juice vs pineapple). They were the kind of drinks that didn't taste alcoholic but would probably sneak up on you. They also have a decent wine and beer list... not too many options, but some well-known labels and very reasonable prices. A server tossed our side salads next to our table, and it ended up being a delightful salad with beets and a tangy dressing. When we were boxing up our leftovers to go, he came back and said that he noticed that we enjoyed our salads and asked if we would like some to go, for free. He explained that he really liked the way the salads turned out tonight and liked to see people enjoying it, so he boxed up a few to-go salads with dressing on the side. So nice! We had a really nice time here, and the bill was much, much lower than we expected for a steakhouse and how much we ordered. I'd love to come back and hang out at the bar! read more

Three stars for the ribeye. The salad was zero stars. It was a pile of chopped brown lettuce that was way past its expiry date. On top of that was a huge pile of canned beets. The plate was so small it was impossible to keep the salad on, if in fact you would eat it. We chose not to. It's usually tossed at the table with a orangish French dressing. It was drowning in it from what I could see. The server brought us replacement salad that was the same with a little newer lettuce on the top only. No thank you. For $63.00 per meal, you could do so much better! The steak was pretty tasty with garlic butter but it mine was too rare, not medium rare and my husband's was medium rare, not medium. The twice baked potato had no cheese on top and a little dry. The place was rather dingy and desperately needing a remodel. It's iconic and we wanted to try it but it was our first and last time at Damon's. read more

Had been great til recent: besides the hostess acting like you needed a reservation despite the empty tables & booths, there was one bartender tonight who just was beyond unaccepting or accommodating over a salad order that's all we wanted with our drinks but he made it such an issue warranting close out and go get a table when we had salad at the bar just last week. obviously he's got his own clients? so we just said good bye Damon's and the lousy parking salad was the best but not worth this treatment read more

This place is more of a Hawaiian Tiki lounge. I did not get any steakhouse vibes here. There's a big aquarium inside the dining area. We ordered an appetizer of steamed muscles/clams, and that was great in flavor. The pricing was $18 (but the menu showed $16), so that was kinda crummy. We ordered the Mahi Mahi ($28) and the Smoked Pulled Pork($28). They were both disappointing. The Mahi Mahi was lacking in flavor and came out a bit dry (small portion). The pulled pork was a huge disappointment, since it was also small portion of meat with mostly fatty parts. The flavor was ok, but definitely not what you'd expected from smoked pork. The service was not great. Our server was grumpy and had some attitude about explaining the menu. Overall, the atmosphere was cool, but the food was too much for the price. read more

When we first walked in ambiance and vibe was totally tiki it was the best inside and it was a nice dim. Food was soo good i ordered the fish and chips and shirley temple and the Shirly temple was absolutely the best. and the fish and chips just made it better :P Service was AMAZING our waiter named Linda was so funny and also nice it was an honor to have her. Then our second waiter Ruben, was so sweet and kind he kept checking on us to see if we were ok and he even refilled my shirley temple with more cherries hehe ^^ Me and my family left with smiles on our faces and it was also one of my family members birthdays. Would come here again :3 read more

Decided to celebrate my bf's 32nd birthday here since we've been planning to try this spot eventually based on our coworker's recommendation! We heard great steak and tiki drinks and we were in!! Lol! We made some last minute reservations for 7 people at about 8pm, earlier in the afternoon which luckily they were able to accommodate since it was on a Saturday. We sat down almost immediately. Luckily we found parking on the main street which was convenient and easy to pay for via machine and license plate. The place was packed! Our lovely waitress, Mary, was super, super sweet. She took care of us and made sure to keep comin back to make sure we had everything. I ordered the dole whip with rum and it was actually my first alcoholic dole whip! It was SO delicious but very rum heavy which kind of took me by surprise. I expected it to be more mixed in but the glass is mostly rum and the dole whip sat on top. It was like a dole whip float if you want to call it that. Super delicious though! Just took me by surprise lol! The coconut shrimp was suuuuper good and almost wanted to just eat that all night but we had to try the steak since that's what they are known for. My bf got a Mai tai which is also what they are known for and he loved it! We got some garlic toast on the side since it's also a famous appetizer here and glad we got it. Super soft and super garlicky, just the way I like it!! I ordered a USDA Prime Sirloin Coulotte Steak (medium rare) with Fresh Creamed Corn as my side. They know how to do medium rare here which is perfect and just how I like it! My bf got the Tenderloin with twice baked potato which he loved as well. It was loud due to the amount of people but luckily we had great company and conversations and had no problem! Mary brought out a cute little birthday pastry for the birthday boy and we had a second whole birthday cake from Porto's which they happily gave us plates and utensils for. Looking forward to coming back and grabbing a souvenir Mai tai glass and to enjoy more delicious food! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Parking: Limited paid street parking available, but there is a paid parking lot behind the restaurant Ambience: Fairly large restaurant with a tiki theme and bar area Service: Friendly, no complaints! We came here for Father's Day and what appeared to be the manager wished us a happy father's day :) Taste: Got the mango-papaya chicken salad, Damon's brisket & pork combo platter, prime rib, and Kona coffee frozen mudd pie, all of which were decently good in my eyes. I really appreciated the size of the side salad as it was surprisingly larger than the actual salad we ordered and could've easily fed 5 people. My parents thought everything was great, and it made for a lovely Father's Day! read more

Damon's harkens back to the golden age of the Tiki bar scene. Feels like being transported back in time, but with food and drink concoctions that still have all the tastiness you want right now. Steaks were great, and the sides, salads, and soup were all served old school but with flavor to burn. As a visitor to the Los Angeles area, it was also nice to find a fun place to eat with my spouse that had readily available street parking and was a relative bargain for my wallet. Service was great, too! Would definitely visit again when in Glendale. read more

So many restaurants to choose from in Brand!! Glendale has so many good options to choose from but since this is a Glendale staple, decided to give it a try. The outside looks super deceiving, as if the building was closed so you have to just walk in. Once you walk in, it's crazy's how huge it is! The restaurant has been in business since 1937 and the service is amazing! You have to walk all the way inside towards the back to get seated which I think is awkward but either way was seated promptly. The monthly special was new so we had new food items to choose from. They have a great variety of food items to pick from. read more

Bestie and I had a spontaneous outing that night. We were on the search for good ambiance, great drinks, and a savory meal. We stumbled upon Damons Steak House as one of our places to try and here we are! As you walk in, you enter into their waiting area in which we waited for almost 5 mins to be seated. We made a mistake in waiting there not entirely sure where to go to be seated. Little did we know it had a frame of a "map" leading you to the reception area lol. If it's your first time like we were, walk right through the tables and you'll see where the hostess stands. I had ordered the steak and shrimp with a side of sauteed spinach. Bestie ordered one of the weekly specials the Filet Beef Stroganoff. Most orders came with a side choice of either salad or soup. For appetizers we got their calamari and Wagyu Beef Corn Dog. No order went to waste that night. Everything was delicious with a pair of margarita and one of their special Mai Thais. Great service and food came in pretty fast too for a Saturday night. Great place for some meetups and have some drinks too. They had a full bar which was huge ! Will definitely be coming again. read more

Came here for dinner the other day and what else can I say besides WOW! I didn't expect one of the best steaks I've ever had to come out of a place like here--no offense but it looks like Islands Burgers' fancyish cousin inside. Started off with some coconut shrimp Very big shrimp with actual coconut! Dipping sauce it came with was a too sweet for me but they were good. I got the 16oz ribeye that comes with a soup or salad. I asked for the salad with Cesar dressing but think I'll opt for the soup next time. It had an ungodly amount of diced beets in it(?) strange but if you love beets the salads for you! We got bread and butter for the table but it was weirdly stale. Next, the ribeye came out and I don't think I've ever felt sorrier for vegans than I did in this moment. I ordered it medium and it was cooked to perfection. DELICIOUS rosemary garlic butter sat atop this beautifully crusted piece of cow. I almost cried. I had the twice baked potato with it and it's basically baked mashed potatoes! I wasn't too keen on having to smash my own potato but was mistaken, when I return I'll definitely be getting it again. The brisket was solid! Not the bestest I've ever had but still good! The fries were fresh and if you're a ranch person like me, their ranch is divine. Mac and cheese had a great cheese pull but, in my opinion, could've had a stronger cheese taste. Finished off dinner with their brownie that was so gooey it ended up quite literally being goop with ice cream and a bit of crust. I prefer my brownies a bit more firm so I probably wouldn't get this again but their macadamia nut brittle was delicious! Service was alright, we had to flag them down a few times but nothing infuriating. It was nice and busy for a Saturday night, I'll definitely be back! read more

Always passed by this place and it always looked run down from the outside but once you go in, it's a pretty nice restaurant. I was able to get a table for 9 people the day before Thanksgiving easily. The waitress was very attentive, patient, and helpful. The drinks here were really good. Lot of tropical drinks if you love those types of drinks. I got the beef stroganoff and it tasted awesome. Though it's a weekly rotating special so it's not available every week. Prices were very reasonable for what you get. Don't let the outside deter you from enjoying this gem. read more

This review is regarding service on June 27, 2025. If you are like me and have become frustrated with the state of customer service these days, the service staff and management team at Damon's will revive you. My family and I are longtime customers of Damon's so we have spent many dinners and special occasions sitting in their dining room. Today was unique because I wanted to set up something special for my mother's birthday even though I am hundreds of miles away. I contacted management at Damon's and presented my request. Although it was outside of their standard practices and took some special coordination on their part, the team spoke with the General Manager and together they decided they would grant my request. I have to say, the ladies at Damon's are a class act. They exemplified a caring and personal approach to customer service and took a simple request and made it extra, extra special. Their team put a huge smile on my mother's face and made this dinner really special; I could not be more thankful. Huge kudos to everyone from the host staff, to Management and the General Manager, for making this an occasion for the memory books. Your hard-earned money is well spent at Damon's. Their service exceeds everyone else around and if you don't know, they are an institution since 1937. Give them some love because they will definitely give it back. Let's keep them around for years and years to come! To the ladies at Damon's, thank you - thank you - thank you! read more

I have been coming here 45 years and normally love the food & service. Tonight I unwrapped my cloth napkin and food a dirty fork inside with a large piece of dried food on it. I requested to speak to the manager about it and politely expressed my displeasure. The young manager gave me excuses and platitudes while being insincere. She handled herself poorly; and that was more disappointing than the fork itself. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary dinner and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. We heard so much good things on Tik Tok and were excited to try. The food was... eh? The steak was good I'll give it that but the sides were horrible my twice baked potato had absolutely no flavor besides potato. His spinach just tasted like washed and steamed spinach, no flavor no nothing. Our softs drinks were flat. The service did not help at all. We never got checked on by our actual waitress only the staff that came and picked up our plates would ask how we were doing. I wish our tip could have gone to them and not her. I am giving this place 2 stars one for the steak itself and one for the ambiance. I did very much enjoy the location and decor but, that's about it. read more

Great place, great drinks, the variety of plates and steak they offer will make you close your eyes and just ponder for a second in delight.

Really good quality beef, onion rings to die for and the staff is phenomenal. The Tiki bar is my favorite. I like to sit at the bar and eat

Love the whole vibe here! The decor is perfection, from the amazing swag lamps, to the big fish tank, the menu design, everything. My steak was awesome, as was the server (sorry, I can't recall his name)! Actually I was surprised by how good the food is because a lot of times "legacy" restaurants seem to bank on nostalgia rather than quality - NOT the case here. It's not fancy, but you're going to get a solid old school meal and dining experience here, which is precisely what I was after and found to be so delightful. There was a little issue with one of our meals and it was handled swiftly and professionally. Again - great service. Honestly, though, I gotta say the mai tai was not the best I've had (to be fair I'm somewhat of a connoisseur) and the hostess could've been more polite but all in all this is a truly fantastic place - a dying breed, really - and I can't wait to return! read more
