Clearman's North Woods Inn - San Gabriel

This restaurant (along with other branches) has one of the best vibes and environment to dine: serene, dim, and romantic! The food is delicious because they are cooled to your preferences. Dinner dishes have unlimited cheese bread, cabbage and lettuce salads. The waiter gentleman is very attentive, as he checked on us multiple times for potential add ons and refills. The prices are on the medium-high range, but I think they are somewhat reasonable for the aforementioned reasons. Please keep it up!

I had not been here for at least 30+ years. The place looks basically the same. I think the only addition are the large screen TVs in the bar area. A fun place to visit at least once every 10 years. Family friendly, plenty of parking, the food was good, the price a bit on the high side, and the service was not too bad, considering how busy they were. bartenders however we’re very slow. Great place to bring visiting relatives and friends from out of the area, as this is a very unique restaurant that has a lot of interesting history behind it, making it a must see and experience event. Bon appétit! 😎🇵🇷💪🏼

The place was wonderful as was the serving staff. Our group tried the DineLA special with a mix of us getting steak with shrimp and the others getting the filet mignon. The beef dishes were perfection but a member of my group said the seafood was hard and had a burnt smell/taste to it. The salad was also not to their liking . I however got the beef soup and enjoyed it. Desserts were also delicious like the chocolate cake and the key lime pie. Accessibility was good and the bathrooms were clean, would return for the beef dishes and ambiance.

We were excited to come here as we have been wondering for a while what was inside of that snow-covered building. We had reservations on Valentine's Day and only waited about 5 minutes to be seated. The ambiance was nice and everything was clean. Love the peanuts on the floor vibe. Our sever was just ok and seemed to forget about us toward the end. The food was very mediocre, but expensive. We both ordered shrimp and it was well-cooked, but bland. I also had steamed veggies that looked like they came straight from frozen and were also not seasoned at all. Not sure if this is normal? It was pretty crowded, so I guess people enjoy the food, but there was literally no flavor, not even salt. Cheese bread and cabbage salad carried the whole meal. Oh and by the way, the regular salad is just iceberg lettuce and dressing, not much of a salad. Will probably not come back.

I love this place, not just that the food is superior, but because it is truly a one of a kind special atmosphere. It's like Griswold's was. So dining there is really an event, not just a meal. Throwing peanuts on the floor, you get to feel like a kid again.

This place can get busy at times, so a reservation may be helpful. Reservations need to be made online though, no phone in reservations accepted. Walking up to the restaurant you start getting the feeling like you’re in the mountains! Once inside, you’re totally immersed. The service was good. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was also good, good exactly as ordered. The bread and the baked potato are a must try! There’s a few locations scattered throughout SoCal which is nice. I’d go back again 👍

Consistently good steak. However my loyalty is overall with the bake potato with cheese butter, cheesy toast, and the 2 salads...sooo fatty goooodddd. Tried lobster and very impressed that it was moist and had stuffing at the bottom! Also good blue lemon martini. Hardly needed any butter at all. Gets packed so make a reservation or go early!! Love the ambience of cozy wood cabin, feels so welcoming every time
