Grab & Go Subs
The bread was ok and the meat was a little lacking. But, if you want a fast lunch on the go, the service is pretty quick.
Book Off Usa
This place is HUGE! They have all kind of new books and they buy your old books from you. Obviously their payments aren't the best but you're getting something for them most of the time. Still, a huge variety from self help to anime.
O'Brien's
Mainly ales on tap, but they have one of the biggest selections of ales I've seen. From Alpine Brewing's Pure Hoppiness to the usual selections of Stone, this is the place. The foods the regular greasy stuff you get elsewhere. The service is pretty bad though, but hey if you can stand that, enjoy.
Rack It
The service here is awesome. The guys know their parts so even if you don't remember the name of a universal support for an xsporter truck rack, describe it to them and they can help you out. Kind of small, but they are the authority on thule. They can order it if they don't have it.
Coastside Comics
Great selection of comics old and new and the guys know their stuff. They have the most copies of any high in demand comic when they come out.
Great Wall Chinese Restaurant
Family owned and operated and they are sooo friendly. The food is good and relatively inexpensive. It can get kind of hectic at night on the weekends but otherwise there's always seats. They have these huge mirrors on the wall kids will like, and they're kind of tucked in the corner of a supermarket strip mall so theres some roomto run around in front.
Golden City Restaurant
Not bad chinese food at all. Always get the egg drop soup over the house soup everytime! The lunch menu is awesome and is easy on the wallet. The service is fast friendly and right there when you need them. The place is arranged for large parties so its very kid friendly. Theres an aquarium they can stare at all night.
Harverst Taco Shop
Not bad, If you don't like breakfast burritos with refried beans, I wouldn't order any from this place. The california burrito is ok if you like sour cream in it.
Jimmy's Family Restaurant
They make you feel right at home even though its in front of one of the busiest streets in the City. Old school feel diner with all the classics from burgers to the apple pie. Reasonably priced and very kid friendly.
Blue Guitar Est 1961 The
These guys know their instruments very well and specialize in sound resonators, banjos, guitars and ukuleles. They are very knowledgeable and although may charge a little more than the chains, I'm all for helping a local business. Primo stuff, so it does get expensive quickly.
