| A
"safe bet if you're already at the mall", this "pleasant" Mission
Valley Californian offers "yuppies" a convenient "break from shopping"
with and "unusual" menu that can be "surprisingly good" - "we
love the fried bananas" and the "great ahi sandwich" - delivered by a
"well-trained staff"; while the decor is "cheerful", skeptics
"wish the food spoke as loudly as the room." Zagat Survey, San Diego - 1999

| For
a taste of the upscale Parkway Grill at "reasonable" prices, this
"child-friendly", "colorful" Californian spin-off delivers "great
chicken burgers", "good pizzas", "surprisingly well-prepared
steak", Cobb salads, calzones and curly fries; "dependable if not
exciting", it's a crowd-pleaser that's "better than expected." Zagat Survey, LA - 1999
|
| What
the Daily Grill is to the Grill, and the Wolfgang Puck Cafe is to the Spago, the
"consistently good", "fun for a first date" Crocodile Cafe is to
Pasadena's Parkway Grill, a stripped-down version for the people, with overlapping dishes
at far lower prices, and branches just about everywhere; kudos go to the pizzas, Cobb
salads, calzones and curly fries - it's "unexciting" but "comfortable"
- most "everybody loves the Croc." Zagat Survey, LA - 1998 |

| The Burbank location of this Californian cuisine chain is upbeat. Tile mosaics are etched into the wall behind the open kitchen and there is a nice outdoor patio, which enjoys and a lunchtime suit-and-tie crowd come here for "excellent" food, especially the grilled meats and breads which are "to die for," and "superb" service. |

| Based on the tremendous (and deserved) success of first-born Crocodile Cafe in Pasadena, the Crocodile is setting out to conquer Southern California, and perhaps the entire country. The newest branch boasts a great Santa Monica location near the ocean. The Cal-Southwestern-Asian cuisine is fresh, lively, and affordable, the staff is cheery, and the settings are fun. |
