| - In our ongoing search for biscuits and gravy in the City of Sin, we decided to try this cross between a Denny's and a Carl's Jr. They have about 60 locations in Southern California and a few starting here. They claim to have great burgers, and they are also known for breakfast. Very homey dining area, clean, not busy for a Sunday morning, decent service, not friendly but okay. Nice ceiling mural acknowledges the proximity to the Air Force base, a little incongruous with the country setting. You place your order at the counter, get a number, seat yourself and they bring the food to you.
Loved the coffee and the continuous refills in a real diner-style china mug - a little expensive at about 1.50 per serving but a nice smooth breakfast blend. The gravy on the biscuits had a nice amount of crumbled sausage, and definitely used the drippings so lots of taste and plenty of pepper, the way I like it. The biscuit was not great, though, not very thick, not flaky, like a large round flat disc. I saw they also have a Strawberry Dessert Biscuit and I can't imagine it standing alone without the gravy. On the expensive side also for what it was, $2.79. Better than McDonalds, not as good as I hoped it would be, so I'm still looking. I saw several people eating salads, sandwiches and malts, this was at breakfast time on Sunday, so I'm guessing they do full menu all the time they are open. Based on the other reviews, I'll try again and hope for better luck at lunch.
