Bellflower

Thai food that was featured as one of the best vegetarian restaurants by the Los Angeles Times.

Bellflower is home to the original Chris' & Pitts' and is locally adored for its wood fire bar-b-q specialties.

Golden Corral drew large crowds for its all-you-can eat buffet and continues to have long lines at meal time. A favorite feature is the chocolate fountain with various treats waiting to be dipped.

Ricci's is easy to miss as the front looks like a small deli. On the inside, a larger dining room serving hearty portions of Italian food can be found in the back. Parking is in a small lot to the north between the building and the 91 Freeway exit.

The 1980s live on at the New Wave Restaurant & Bar. 80s themed decor and drinks along with live concerts by 1980s groups like the English Beat, Mary Jane Girls, and Missing Persons in an intimate (e.g. tiny) venue.
