I am an avid diner and love to find old fashioned ""mom and pop"" and or ""husband and wife"" family eatery's and restuarants where I reside. I have been staying at the Marriott hotel for the last month for my contractual business obligations I have down here and after work I have had enough with corporate chain restuarants who worry more about the bottom line than the quality of their food not to mention paying higher prices. Now in this case it is was a cold balmy, windy, rainy night and I did not want to travel far so the Hotel conceirege at the hotel I'm staying at (Burabnk Marriott at Bob Hope Burbank Airport) gave me a recommendation to Gary Bric's Ramp Restuarant conveiently located up the street and accesible by the Golden Satate 5 freeway which is a big freeway arteiry in Los Angeles. Since that faithful night in early December I have been there over ten times since. The steaks, seafood, appetizers are phenomenal and much less than those other pricey ala carte Steak houses sprinkled throughout the lower 48 states and especially here in this city. Stuffed mushrooms are an amazing appitizer right before a 25 oz. Porterhouse steak which is mouth-watering along with the baby back ribs. The owner and is wife which are both very gracious and are the hosts every day and night and are wonderful especially the wife by the name of Shelly who is a load of fun. I was not sure at first of the owner Gary who is a local politician/council member as I am always skeptical about leaders in our local municipalities because most of them have their own agendas and when they proclaim ""they have a purpose"" it's usually the purpose to fullfill their own coffers. But I have to say I was seriously wrong with my first impression about the owner (Gary) who thurns out to be one of the most delightful resturanter/business owners I have ever met and has a loyal following at the restuarant with almost every regular customer asking for Gary and Shelly. This place is the best around.
Pros: Steaks, Seafood, Appetizers (Stuffed Mushrooms, Garlic Cheese Bread), Owners!!!!
Cons: Not open 24 hours, 365 days a year (LOL)
