Malibu Mutts Grill

"One look at the menu—chicken tenders, chili cheese fries, hot dogs, burgers—and it’s clear Mutt’s really knows its customer: The little take-out stand is located just steps from the Malibu Country Mart’s adorable playground. It’s kid food at its best, and for mom and dad there are veggie burgers and a solid falafel wrap (also comes in salad form). There’s no designated seating area, so grab your order and find a shady bench or picnic table; there are plenty throughout the mart."

"It’s nearly impossible to get away with a $49 dinner at a place like Mr. Chow in Malibu. Eat like the stars with a meal that could include green water dumplings, emperor’s crab with sautéed rice, and ice cream." - Crystal Coser
