3 Whittier Restaurants you all know and Love | My Whittier | Whittier, California

[@mcbone5746]

Jenny’s is a special place to me. I used to go there with my grandfather when I was a kid. We used to park in the back and just walk in the back door, through the kitchen. Jenny would always welcome us by name and grab a biscuit off the baking sheet and hand it to me. Great memories. I still make a point to have breakfast there when I can make it over there. Chile Verde Omelette is my go to.

I moved my family to Central Virginia back in 93' and one of the things i miss the absolute most is the charbroiled burger. I had my very first one as a young lad at Norms on Whittier and Ocean View. I live vicariously through your videos brother. One day when I come back, I want to spend the day with you, breakfast, lunch and dinner. My treat. :-) I do want to add that one of the biggest reason I enjoy your videos is that they aren't just about the food, you include the history of these places as well as the surrounding area. Thank you for that! Be well brother and hopefully we can share a meal together soon.

[@MyWhittierTV]

You had me at “My Treat” thank you so much for the comment and kind words man! If you ever make it back we will definitely break bread my man. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it. I will definitely keep the videos coming

[@GaryED44]

I so love this video. My Mom worked for Jacks Whittier when I was about 7 years old. 1969. I still remember going with Dad to pick her up after work. Thank you my friend

[@MyWhittierTV]

Thank you for watching Gary. That sounds like a great childhood memories. Awesome to hear about your connection to Jack’s.

[@cindyperine7965]

My favorites at Jack's is their delicious bacon and eggs breakfast..their homemade soups..their hard shell chicken taco plate..their fried shrimp dinner and I love their homemade rice pudding with a cherry on top of course! 😊 Another great one thank you my whittier!

[@MyWhittierTV]

Wow! You really know Jack’s. Hey it sounds like I need to try those tacos. And yes the soups are great. Thank you very, very much for watching I appreciate.

Menudo and chilaquiles are my favorite dish at Greenleaf Cafe ,my next try out will be the Abel Chile relleno omelette

[@MyWhittierTV]

Really good stuff! I like the menudo and the club sando! Thank you for watching I appreciate it!

[@Fallsemester101]

I am so glad you went into the history of the Greenleaf Cafe and how Ramiro went from dishwasher to waiter to restaurant owner. He would wait on my grandparents back in the day when it was the Deli Express. He was always so nice and warm to my to my grandparents. I am glad he's still running a successful business. Jack's was always a good spot as well. The women who used to ring you up would always give me candy.

[@MyWhittierTV]

Thank you. It is a great story and he is a great guy. Thank you for watching I appreciate it.

[@poundsonwood]

Happy to see you spotlight Jenny's Cafe. I used to eat breakfast there almost every morning, back when Jenny was there every day. She was a sweetheart. Kinda drifted away over the years as life changed my habits, but it is great to know a quality small shop can keep it going for 50 years. I'm going to make it a point to get over there real soon. Thanks.

[@manhhilston4827]

Jenny's Chilaquiles is what you should have it's iconic

[@renesalinas2279]

There are so many delicious restaurants in Whittier I don't even know where to start. From your traditional home style Mexican cooking to delicious burgers and even seafood. I'm hungry again and I just ate, lol! Great video, thank you for posting.

[@MyWhittierTV]

You are so right! Many good ones to choose from. Thank you for watching I appreciate it

[@manuelvallejo6393]

My favorite restaurant was Rick's Burgers. I used to live down the street from Rick's Burgers in Eas los angeles(Commerce). Then I lived in Uptown Whittier down the street from Rick's Burgers. I couldn't escape that tasty restaurant. Lol!

[@manuelvallejo6393]

I remember going to ricks burgers in Whittier on Saturdays, then visit that old ww2 antique store. I miss thar store.

[@thomasrichmond2413]

Born at Presbyterian hospital in ‘59 but left Whittier in ‘72. My fondest memories are going to Farmer Del’s restaurant ( somewhere near Washington & Lambert-I think ) on my father’s payday. Remember the check for five of us was $6-7.00.

[@danbanuelos3368]

I am glad that you finally tried Jenny's wet green chile burrito. I had messaged you about trying it after your green burritos episode, after you had mentioned that you loved them with when served with chips! I also love their menudo and chilequiles. Jose has been a great friend for a good number of years. I have eaten there from almost the beginning, having lunch while working at Sears across the street from 1973 to 1990, before it was demolished some years afterward. Great place!

[@Dookie_burner]

Anyone here remember buster and poncho's ? At whittier &painter. Had cool local commercials on tv. Poncho had a lowrider and buster had model T hot rod

[@stevegonzalez4811]

Good history appreciate all your hard work

[@dburch7894]

Grew up in Montebello, Whittier area. 1950 until 1983. I believe we used to order what was called the Mess, at Jacks! Nice to know they are still there. Look forward to your posts. Takes me home for a bit.

[@stevenfranco4774]

Omg that's what it was Jack's on Beverly. My dad took me as a kid but I couldn't remember what it was called all I remembered it being on Beverly and Pickering.

[@wesbrewster8702]

Great video! I grew up down the street from Jenny's and Jacks is our go to Sunday breakfast spot 😀

[@MyWhittierTV]

That is awesome Wes. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video. Much appreciated

[@javiersigala9353]

Great choice on the Chile Verde Wet Burrito . Next time, order a side if sour cream and eat the Burrito with a little bit of sour cream. It will elevate the taste to a whole new level

[@MyWhittierTV]

My grandma worked at Jack’s in the late 70’s for a short time (a decade before I was born). My mom, boyfriend and I ate at Jacks right before we had her memorial there at Rose Hills October 2018. Really enjoyed the food but also just getting to see history & that lil’ piece of my gma. Hope to be back but would love to try those other two! Thanks for your video!

[@firedriver8367]

Jack's is one of our favorite place's 😍 love their Turkey burger must have a side of thousand spread for the buns and it's tasty 😋 best of all the waitresses are very friendly and Juan who runs the counter is a very nice man. Try your burger on Tuesday with a chicken Tortilla soup. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Jack 👏

[@davidatovar]

I remember Pup and Taco before it became a Tommy's, Der Wienerschnitzel, House of Pies, Scotty's burgers, Tower Records, the used hot rod car lot. Cruising and street racing between lights.

[@h8er11]

Jack's and The Bright Spot 😎👌 Knocked my front teeth out on the concrete benches at Rick's 😅

[@KidultTV]

Man just seen this while eating at Jacks Restaurant. Thanks for the shout us out Bobby! U da man. Great video. Also the guy laughing all loud in the ur restaurant b roll is Dee’s dad.

[@dawncontreras5691]

I learned a lot from this video! THANK YOU! 🤗❤️

[@johnhughes9019]

*Jenny's* *Country* *Kitchen* was one of my favourite 'haunts' in the early 90's . The atmosphere was delightful -- it reminded me of the classic coffee shop ; more smoke than a poolhall ! Dynamite ! Excellent breakfast , outstanding coffee , and quite affordable . It's too bad that only one - of - three *Jack's* remains . I frequented the one nearest my home ; the one on Whittier Blvd. between Gretna and Palm . Do you remember *Farmer* *Del's* ?

[@MyWhittierTV]

Awesome! Thx for watching

[@kimberconover245]

I Love Jenny’s Country Kitchen. Best home style breakfast around. You should add Zumaya’s on Greenleaf to the list as well.

[@rogersinger7758]

As always, awesome video Bob! It was great to meet you a few weeks ago! Keep up the good work

Grew up in Whittier and Jack's Salad Bowl was the first "grown up" restaurant my family took me to when I was about 4 years old. That is a long time ago, over 60 years ago.

[@reedberry]

I've been to Jack's a few times. Won't go back. The last two times I dined there, the silverware and glasses were dirty. So, I have to assume the plates people are eating off of aren't any cleaner. Too bad, because it's the kind of place I would like to enjoy going to, but dirty dining isn't my thing.

[@MyWhittierTV]

Thank you for your feedback and thank you for watching

[@BUBBLEGUMGIRLONE]

Can you review the taco salad please? Or post some pictures on Facebook. I’m really craving a taco salad. Taco Bell is not selling taco salads right now.

[@Moondoggy1941]

The problem with Jacks website if you click on the menu, it does not show you the menu but that you have to enter your address and then it will not let you out, could be a MAC thing I do not know.

[@ericvasquez8028]

Do you have whittier merchandise? Hats for example?
