Clearman's North Woods Inn

Clearman’s North Woods Inn has three locations around the greater SGV (San Gabriel, Covina, and La Mirada), plus the less wintery-y Steak ’N Stein concept, and each is as delightfully cheesy as the next. There are cozy log cabin interiors, aggressive taxidermy, gas lamps, and speckled flooring that looks like someone keeps tracking snow in. The food isn’t anything special, but it’s decent and exactly what you want from a place that feels like the Montana game lodge. Think cheese bread, porterhouse steaks, and free refills on salads.
