"Since 1921, this 24-hour steak lovers' paradise has served outstanding beef. Housed in a converted rail car, this restaurant has something for everyone, from carnivores to the health conscious...."

"But unless you�re willing to shell out $40 - $50 for a dinner entree, I recommend ordering from the affordable breakfast menu which is served around the clock. You�ll still receive the same gourmet experience for a fraction of the price...."

"The beef is all from the East and dry-aged on the premises, and the grill men here seem to never make a mistake, even though they're working over live mesquite rather than a broiler set to a precise heat. Order the richly marbled rib-eye medium rare with..."

"Seen from Wilshire Boulevard, this place, which opened in 1990, has always seemed so forbidding: a concrete bunker with no way to peer inside. Step up to the entrance, though, and there is a bit of ornament: opaque windows framed in metal to suggest a rai..."

"One of two local locations the Pacific Dining Car on West Sixth Street has been serving prime steaks and salads to the hungry throngs since 1921. The silver two-tone railroad-dining car sits confidently back from the swoop lamps that border the street and..."

"I guess the Pacific Dining Car was a fitting place for a Santa Monica High mini-reunion -- after all, those attending all had old Hollywood family ties, and being from the classes of 1975,76 and 77, we're no spring chickens. I walked into the train car di..."

"This Pacific Dining Car, a branch of the family-owned downtown power-dining venue that has been around since 1921, offers the same USDA Prime beef---buttery filet mignon, nicely marbled rib-eye and a massive T-bone---with the requisite sides of baked pota..."

"I am not cheap, but for the $$$$, the portions were tiny, the filet was a below average cut, the service was horrible and you pay for valet parking in a lot that is empty 98% of the time and there is no need for valet in the first place. Trust me, go to M..."

"Believe it or not (and many refuse to believe it), there is a place on the West Side where you can get a full steak dinner after 11PM. It's the real thing -- filet mignon, or broiled New York topped with Roquefort cheese, or the classic Baseball Steak, ag..."
