"If you’re looking for a kitschy, old-school dining experience that can fit a bunch of friends and family, few places rival Damon’s in Glendale. The steakhouse/tiki bar has been around since 1937 and is the kind of place where unadulterated escapism is the chief attraction. Bamboo roofs cover the main dining room and fake tropical plants sprout from every corner. There’s a giant wooden canoe suspended over the tables. Everybody in your party will eat well-priced steaks, snack on crunchy coconut shrimp, and down mai tais and chi-chis like they’re going out of style (they’re not). " - brant cox
