Now, I haven't been in a long time, but it's worth a mention here incase someone can chime in and say it's still excellent, or to stay away. I used to chow on the chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits and pie. Okay, now I have made myself want to check it out when I go down in August! Maybe on the way home we'll stop for lunch...

Mmmm...It's still yummy! Fried chicken, mashed taters, warm biscuits with butter and jam....mmm..I even like the rhubarb cherry thing they serve......Now I wanna jump in the car and go for lunch!

Oh my, if I leave now I can be there by 4'oclock, lol.

Thanks Pepperjack! I'm glad to know it's still good!

For all you folks who fly in and out of LAX Proud Bird is a GREAT place to eat with Teens and Pre-Teens.

Something to do while waiting for the flight home..

I am really tempted to try Tiffy's now! It sounds a lot like Millie's!

Millie's is our favorite place to eat outside of Disneyland...it's on Harbor, right across the street from DL in the parking lot of the Fairfield Inn. Their food is consistently good, the prices are reasonable, and they have the gift shop & brain teasers at the table just like you mentioned at Tiffy's!

My personal favorite thing to order is the "Soup, Salad & Cornbread" with the Millie's Famous Tortilla Soup. Everything (including the salad) is surprsingly delicious! And that's the only kind of tortilla soup I can eat; it's a chicken broth base instead of tomato base and I'm very sensitive to tomatoes. It's a good way to get me to eat my veggies too! The soup is loaded with veggies & chicken, and topped with cheese and tortilla strips! YUM!

And yes...for the millionth time...avoid Captain Kidd's.

We went in by accident, but the service was great, and the food wasn't overly expensive..

We love that place! We go next door and get the chicken to go, so yummy! Oh we also love Millies, right across harbor from Disneyland!

If anyone's in the mood for pizza...the Papa John's on Katella was awesome! I'm not generally a Papa John's fan, but it was really good. Plus, if you don't have a car...they deliver!

Oh you will definitely end up eating there then! I'm not saying it's a 4-star restaurant, but we have never had a bad experience, food/price/service-wise! I love their menu because it has so many comfort foods. It's not like going to Denny's where you can have breakfast food...or expensive, not-so-great dinner foods, you know what I mean?

Millie's has sandwiches and burgers and salads and...ummm I am SO HUNGRY RIGHT NOW!!!

[Pixie]

ugh we had denny's the last time we were there and i took like 20mins just for them to come over and take our orders!!

yeah, we certainly don't go to the Denny's right across from DL expecting great service. They're always swamped, and don't really seem to have their act together.

HOWEVER...they're always better than IHOP. Who knew? Lesser of 2 evils, I guess.

Oh another great pizza place is Biggs pizza, it's north on Harbor. It's great, we eat there almost everytime we go!

Oh really!! We always get great service at IHOP!! We have gotten a few bad people but that is usually when they are PACKED

Ya know what I don't like about it, the prices are so much higher than other Ihop's. It's crazy!
