“We came to Paragon Bar and Grill for brunch right after my daughter’s graduation from CSUN. I found the place through a quick internet search and didn’t really know what to expect, but I was able to make a reservation online for a party of 13 with no issue. Our reservation was right when they opened at 11am on a Sunday, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves—just a couple of people at the bar. The space definitely leans more bar than grill, but it worked well for our group. Very low-key and relaxed. The menu had plenty of options, which was great since we had a few picky eaters. Everyone found something they liked, and the food was excellent across the board. The service stood out—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We didn’t order many drinks, but even so, I was surprised at how reasonable the bill was for such a large group. Only downside: the bathroom could use a refresh. It’s what you’d expect in a neighborhood bar—functional but not the highlight of the visit. Would absolutely go back. Great experience overall, and I really appreciate the staff for helping make the day special.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“Haven't been here for years. It's the same, guess consistent is the theme. Same booths, same patched leather seats. Food was good.
Started with the cheesy bread. I'm a sucker for cheesy bread. Mom had a huge garden salad. Wife and enjoyed the wedge salad. Mom had salmon and fried shrimp combo. She ate it all. Wife tried the Wagyu dumplings. Sauce was good. The dumplings were just hype. I had end cut prime rib. Was what it should be. Mom's birthday so our server brought a complimentary desert with a candle.
AC unit was down. Hope they can get corporate office to get it repaired faster.“

“Denny’s is a pleasant place to eat. I like the ambiance and it’s very clean. Great food and great server 🥰 My server is MARISSA. She let me seat with a friendly smile 😊 then a few minutes she came back and ask my order and drink 🍹 my ordered food 🥞🥗came out quickly, hot, delicious and satisfied 👍. Marissa walked by frequently to check on me and ask if I need something or order something. She always make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend MARISSA for a reward due to her skills, a hard working server, and a great asset to this DENNY’s restaurant. To sum up, I will come again and enjoy my food.“

“The first time I walked into In-N-Out Burger, I honestly didn’t understand what all the hype was about. The menu was surprisingly small, the line was long, and everyone seemed far too excited about a burger. But curiosity won, and I ordered.

A few minutes later, I was sitting in my car with a Double-Double, fresh fries, and a cold drink. One bite changed everything. The vegetables tasted like they had just been picked, the burger was hot and juicy, and nothing felt frozen, artificial, or overcomplicated. It reminded me of a time when fast food was actually made fresh instead of assembled from ingredients that had been sitting around all day.

Since then, In-N-Out has become one of those places I always return to. Not because it’s fancy, but because it stays true to what it does. The recipe hasn’t been buried under dozens of gimmicks and limited-time promotions. It’s simple, consistent, and somehow always hits the spot.

I’ve eaten at countless burger places across California, and many of them charge twice as much while delivering half the experience. In-N-Out proves that you don’t need a giant menu or luxury prices to make customers happy. You just need fresh ingredients, friendly employees, and the discipline to do the basics exceptionally well.

Every city has restaurants that come and go. In-N-Out feels different. It feels like a California tradition that has survived because it never forgot why people came in the first place.“

“I had an issue with a ham. Sandra reached out to me and immediately offered to replace it (which is incredibly generous in my opinion). The staff were very friendly, the wait time was very short, considering it was just a few days before Christmas. The only issue was the ham (and since the pandemic, they no longer open the wrapping to show you the ham any more) so I will just make sure to check them in the future (although, I've never had an issue prior to this). Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the Northridge location for their prompt action and willingness to make sure I was happy.“

I tried the mango margarita, but it wasn’t that good. I’d rather stick with water next time. Everything tasted fresh. The waitress kept checking on us to make sure we were okay, which I appreciated. The only thing is that they need to keep the area a little more clean.“
