Restaurant near San Gabriel High

[paprkutr]

We are going to a graduation Tuesday night at San Gabriel High. I know the obvious would be to go for Chinese. But I think we want something more casual, Italian, Pizza, Hamburgers. We will be then going to Alhambra, so anywhere in between. Thanks

There's 38 Degrees in Alhambra which has a menu you'd expect from an ale house!

Was just there at the high school last weekend for a basketball tournament. We ended up at Elite for dim sum which was quite disappointing. Wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. But whenever we're in that area we go to Tokyo Lobby on Las Tunas Blvd in San Gabriel. Haven't been there in a while but the last time was pretty good. Try that family "boat" of assorted entrees.

What is more casual than Chinese?

Dip's Grill?

Why is one exclusive of the other?

[chrishei]

Is Dip's Grill any good? I've only heard from fobby young'ns...

It used to be great when it opened, but has gone downhill over the last year. They once had one of the best VN pork chops in the area, thicker than usual and very generous for the price. Now it is the generic thin style and prices have gone up. The appetizers are still pretty good though.

Petrillo's

Petrillo's is great. I moved away from SGV over twenty years ago, but still get Petrillo's with family when we order pizza.

Wahibs on Main in Alhambra is close and might work-see thread linked below.I haven't been in a few years but it used to be pretty good and the baba ghanouj was tasty ...casual, too. I don't eat meat, but folks liked the lamb, tho we all agreed the vegetarian stuff was the best.

Charlie's Trio is also on Main St. in Alhambra tho some think it's acceptable, I found it to be pedestrian Italian fare with a menu that looks more exciting than it really is. To each his own.

Thanks, but the kids don't like Wahibs, I will check out the other

Maybe you should give us more info of your group. How many adults, children, infants, seniors, etc? Approximately what time do you expect to dine? Any allergies (i.e. shellfish, nuts, dairy et al)?

[paprkutr]

Three adults, high school graduate and 13 year old boy. No allergies that I know of. It will be about at 8 at night so I don't want anythng too heavy and just casual.
