Clearman's North Woods Inn of San Gabrielgreat place to eat a big mealIt is a great value for a ton of food. I don't eat like this often but when I do I like going here5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMCasual dining ambienceI moved from the San Gabriel Valley several years ago and hadn't had the opportunity to eat at the North Woods Inn in a long time. Friends still in the area mentioned it as a favorite, so I made a reservation there for my 21st wedding anniversary dinner spot. We were cordially greeted and seated promptly. The staff was attentive and professional. The food was prepared fairly quickly and the portions were plentiful, to say the least! The traditional of throwing the peanut shells on the floor surprised my wife and we had good fun from that. Prices were moderate, especially considering the quantity of food. So glad the red cabbage salad is unchanged. When you go take your appetite and enjoy!5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place will never winThis place will never win any awards for fine cuisine, but the food is good, solid "American" fare, in a very fun and traditional place (as the name implies, complete with fake snow on the fake log cabin roof!), with some really simple but delicious foods, like the red cabbage salad, cheese bread, and blue cheese iceberg salad they're known for! Servers couldn't be nicer, or more accommodating! Been coming here for decades and will keep doing so!4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMExpensive yet quite tastyEclectic mountain chalet feel,
Good service but extremely expensive4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGood old fashion comfort foodI've been coming to Northwoods Inn for over 40 years. It is a good place for steaks, fish, chicken. It has been around a long time. The food is pretty good. Fair prices. Bread and salad are excellent. They give you a lot of food and you don't go home hungry. Don't even think of coming here for health food type of eating. It is real comfort food and a lot of it.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMIt has been many years sinceIt has been many years since I've been to North Woods Inn and was so glad to be able to introduce my grown children to it all over again. We all reminisced as the memories began to return. Still has that warm feeling of years gone by and the FOOD is still great and so GENEROUS. EVeryone should try it at least once! Many thanks for keeping it alive.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother flawless meal at North WoodNorth Woods has been a family tradition for years, and in the past couple years an Easter tradition. The food is uniformly fantastic; they've resisted the urge to skimp on portion or prep as cost of everything has gone up over the years. It's a bit pricy (entrees in $20s-$30s) which is why we only do it a few times a year (plus they give you so much food you wouldn't be able to fit through the door if you ate there frequently) but worth every penny. The service is also great, in all the years we've been going I can only recall one instance of poor service.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMV. KimThank you to Rachel, our server, and the manager at San Gabriel Clearman's North Woods Inn, for making my mother's 94th birthday celebration extra-special. From the royal treatment to the great food and wonderful "Happy Birthday" song at the end of the meal, we all had a wonderful time. Best of all, my 12 year-old twin boys loved eating the peanuts and tossing the shells on the sawdust on the floor. The richness of the wood and beautiful paintings, plus the Dutch oven menu boards made our lunch experience all the more fun! My mother loved her halibut and the red cabbage was so good! Thank you again for everything! Clearmon's North Woods Inn in San Gabriel was as much fun for me as adult as it was magical for me when I was a child!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent red cabbage saladExcellent red cabbage salad and cheese bread. Portions are huge, plus all you can eat salads and cheese bread, so you definitely don't go away hungry! I had not been here in many years. It was still as great as I remember and brings back lots of great memories.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat old world charm andGreat old world charm and fun. Very casual and friendly.11/30/2012 12:00:00 AM
