Nostalgic lunch at Steak Corral in Whittier, California | My Whittier TV

[@marcusfieldfield4069]

$17.95 for a rib-eye dinner❤ it's that much for one ribeye steak at Albertson's ! Thank you for showing us that great time capsule

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

You pay that much for mcdonalds meal steak corral far better

[@johnrobinson5156]

Awesome, the Covina location was Boyhood Favorite Family Restaurant 😋

[@Bouncerboy33]

When you walk in the front door. There is a Black box that kind of looks like a Pirates chest. Many years ago, it was full of Indian head dresses. An adjustable one size fits all cardboard band that had holes in it where you could stick the feathers. Anyway, they gave those to the kids when they came in. Some adults used to request and wear them too.

[@MyWhittierTV]

Awesome! I can imagine how fun that was for kids. Thx for sharing

[@happyhippie2853]

I grew up in the Whittier, Im 64 and have been going to Steak Coral since my childhood. Love it.

[@mikewatson5281]

I used to love the Indian headbands they would give to the kids

[@riograndelily8344]

Remember the high chairs were little horses with saddles?

[@Janices-ih6bt]

My family and I moved to Whittier in 1959.We went to Steak Corral and ate their delicious food. Went to high school there. Sierra High. Back in 64-68. Steak Corral and Seafare Inn were the best eating places there.😊

[@patriot1902]

Heck ya! Driven by this place a billion times and never stopped. For sure taking the family. Glad to see they haven't doubled the prices like every other restaurant. Thanks for reminding me of the place.

[@davemeneley]

Steak Corral was my dad’s first job.

[@j.w.7688]

Yes, i once told the waitress that if they ever go out of business (which i hope they NEVER do), I want to buy that portrait! Every time we go, if that table is available, that's where we sit😁😁😁.

[@josephmartinez8803]

It's good to see the Steak Corral, still in business, frozen in time. Steak Corral was actually a chain of restaurants, similar to Sizzlers. We moved to Whittier from La Mirada in 1968 and there are so many restaurants in Whittier that don't exist anymore, most recently Chris and Pitts. I remember the old Bob's Big Boy on Whittier Blvd. The Holly House on Lambert. The Jolly Rodger at the Whittwood Mall. Cliftons at the Quad. I miss the old Whittier.

[@davedave4561]

Hard to stop short of Chris n Pitts but I love coming here over the years. 67 years in Whittier, started going to Steak Corral when I was in my 20's. Best salad bar, best baked potato bar and tasty Steaks! Hard to beat the prices!!

[@Moondoggy1941]

Is Chris and Pits still open in Pico Rivera?

[@patriot1902]

Could you imagine Chris and Pitts with a help yourself salad bar?

[@billdivine9501]

There was one in Altadena/Pasadena on Lake in the 60s-70s. I remember going when I was around 7 years old. It’s long gone.

[@jeffthompson303]

You sure are a man of word and wisdom

[@GatoDeLaDansa]

Frozen in time are the right words . This place will always be our family place

[@NativeImagesPG]

Hey Bob, When I lived over on Roseheadge dr... I never been inside this place. Remembered that Joshua Tree out front. thanks for sharing.

[@j.w.7688]

[@Mroscar-q3j]

Yes sir the steak corral never dissapoints

[@j.w.7688]

I love Steak Corral so much and frequent it so often, I wish i could take up residence in it and live there 😃😃. 🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍

[@billhudson6462]

I'm glad they are still around.I used to eat there alot when I was a kid and loved the cheese bread

[@tomasmorales814]

The food is so good there! Need to revisit soon!

[@armandob5227]

I have been living in South Whittier and always seen it but never stopped, now i know and it looks great and very clean too.

[@RalphPalomo-p5u]

My mom worked there back in the 70s . Great food in town.

[@theguyshow3392]

The hamburger steak paired with their brown gravy, mushrooms and peppers is delicious

[@jeffpiazza1860]

Been going there my entire life and has never disappointed. Quality food for a very reasonable price and fun decor. Great job capturing the essence of Steak Corral My Whittier!!

[@AlhambraCityAudits]

🗣️Awesome video brotha! Wife & I gonna head out this week to try it out!😎

[@MyWhittierTV]

If you dig retro this is the spot bro

[@562fooo7]

drove by countless times never stopped, I might have to make a stop for lunch

[@riograndelily8344]

I remember the Baked potatoe bar came to you on the table. Thanks for this memory. My eldest no 40 and my late Mother came to this place all the time it was our monthly routine

[@robinponce-edgington8408]

So glad it is still thriving. Went back and I felt like a little kid again. Great looking lunch you had!

[@MyWhittierTV]

Awesome thank you for watching

[@erichegrosse6874]

Used to go to Chris & Pitts every few months or so- didn't know it was closed. Guess I've found our new place.

[@joeshmoe8952]

Been coming ere for years, it's a good spot.

[@divalejano8763]

❤love it. You brought back great memories for me Bobby!!!!❤

[@MyWhittierTV]

Thank you for watching ✌️😎

[@keithwillis3761]

OMG I remember this place. I was a child at the time on family vacation; one of my Dad’s favorite places. Way back when the Olympics were in LA. Great memories. Everyone was so afraid LA would be overrun with tourists that they initially stayed away. Disneyland was so empty they let my sister and me ride twice sometimes without getting off the ride. If this wasn’t my first steak dinner it’s the first one I remember. Still have family near there. Have to see the place again. Thanks for the video!

[@vision-gc4hy]

Glad I found your channel. You're a really cool guy. Definitely will patronize the Steak Corral.

[@MyWhittierTV]

🙏🏼 thank you I appreciate it very much

[@cyclops214]

Born in 1972 and I've lived in Whittier all my life. I've never heard of this place before going to have to check it out.

[@SouthernSierra]

I used to go to the one near Hacienda Heights. It was always good.

[@Aliy493]

I always love seeing these videos, and hope to move here one day! As a British person, it would be cool to see things, that Americans eat on Independence Day, and Thanksgiving..

[@paolo-n2000]

Gotta support these SoCal restaurant institutions like the good ol' Steak Corral!!!!!

[@ryanmcadams1737]

Looks good 18 bucks great deal

[@imyourhuckleberry357]

So good..I didn't go to this one but the restaurant in West Covina..Our family went there in the 60's and 70's. It was always so good and us kids thought it was so cool to actually dispense our own drink. Back then it was rare you dispensed your own drink anywhere let alone get free refills.

[@marmad8232]

Love Steak Corral! Grew up around the corner from here. Been coming here for years, and now my daughter works there! 😊 Love Steve!

[@jasminecalderon2658]

It was today's dinner! If they ever want to see an up roar in Whittier... Try to shut down... Whittier won't... They corral all the Rites alright!

[@glensoares7393]

Grew up with Steak Corral in Covina since the late 60s. Love the Corral Burgers, cheese toast and especially the croutons.😊

[@californiography]

Always drive by, but have never stopped in. Definitely going to change that this week!

[@MyWhittierTV]

I think you would dig it man

[@BUBBLEGUMGIRLONE]

It’s funny and shocking to see my neighborhood on KZbin 😂 Thank you I was entertained and I liked your video.

[@rivrivrivera2916]

I use to go there in the early 80’s , I use to love it !!! But haven’t been there in years . Definitely a Whittier classic . By the way we met this last Saturday at liquor mart !!!!

[@MyWhittierTV]

It is a classic for sure! Oh yes 👍 great to meet you man I appreciate the support

[@rivrivrivera2916]

You know I lived in Whittier 1973 to 1997, but my heart and soul brings me back all the time , and my sister still lives there !! Lol

[@craigcatimon8608]

Back in the 70s there was a Steak Corral on Lake Ave in Pasadena, where Roscoe's chicken is now located! The staff used to wear cowboy or Indian/native American outfits! This restaurant also sponsored Little League baseball teams at Victory park!

[@billdivine9501]

I went there in 1971! Loved the Indian headbands, don remember the food, but I’m going to check out the one in Whittier!

[@uptownauctionsltd]

Kismet, random tidbit, but wow. I just listened to the 11/29/23 podcast episode about Steak Corral and you know what? There WAS and/or maybe still is one of those cowboys w/ the lasso in San Pedro (LOL). It had been there for a long time as well. I am thinking it may not be there any longer, but I remember seeing it after I moved to San Pedro from Whittier in the mid 1990s. I stayed in San Pedro for nearly 2 years. It was so weird to hear someone mention it because it brought back a lot of memories. I remember seeing it and thinking hey there's one like that in Whittier. At that age it was a big move and I was very homesick. In Whittier, we used to travel down Washington quite often because my grandparents live in Pico Rivera after having left LA. Also, 2005-2006-ish I worked at the Adult Ed in West Covina and drove right past the Steak Corral over there coming in from Fullerton. Thank you. It's really great to hear someone else mention it.

[@MyWhittierTV]

That is really cool. Thank you for sharing that story with us so awesome. And thank you for listening to my podcast and supporting. I really appreciate it.

[@frankpaquet295]

I lived in Whittier, for 22 years and I don't think I ever went to Steak Corral!! Darn! Looks like it's good and until I can get down there again, I can't try it! Thanks for the video. I miss Whittier, I grew up there and loved it. (from Sandi)

[@haydeemedrano2293]

I've lived in Whittier 23 years also never have ate at Steak Corral 😐 Looks good will need to try it lol Thank you Whittier TV

[@Moondoggy1941]

I lived off the other side of the 605, in Cypress, I never knew of this restaurant. ..

[@cindyperine7965]

Great video! I went there many times as a little girl and young teen..and then a few times when my kids were little..omg it still looks the same and delicious! Definitely need to remember about it and get in there..ty MW 🤠

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

I remember steak cotral in arcadia

[@KFRnews1]

That’s one of my all-time favorites best Price for a steak 🥩 dinner thanks for the high light 👍

[@HumannMutt]

Lmao my family would always fight whether to get Steak Coral or Shakeys across the street😂😂

[@MyWhittierTV]

😂 two great choices! Love me some bunch of lunch!

[@elviagarcia5284]

my all time Favorite !☺Steak Corral never disappoints!♥

[@MyWhittierTV]

It is like going back in time every time

[@TheToocoolbro]

One of our family's favorite places to eat!

[@stevenotero2627]

Calamity Jane is my favorite wagon to sit and eat. Haha😎🎭✌️

[@rallypoint1]

Although not my style of steak house, I will give credit to Whittier for keeping these places.👍🏼

[@bengolfs1]

I thought all the Steak Corral's had closed up. I remember there was another one off of Azusa Avenue, in Covina, back when I was a kid in the late 1970's. Great memories.

[@stevelister2896]

I remember back in the day they had stainless steel containers that held your butter, sour cream and chives already at the table.

[@TheSaxon25]

i love the steak sandwich and the i used to love eating salad out of the metal bowls hahahah good times

[@MyWhittierTV]

They still have the metal bowls! Thx for watching

[@TheSaxon25]

My Favorite place I ate there yesterday yummy 😋

[@osbic1]

Thank you sir

[@HDYaqui]

Great place & awesome Steaks! There was one in West Covid but they Closed it and it’s now a Norm’s.

[@MrSamR100]

wish I was in town to join you for lunch . its very affordable for a steak house and the bread is some of the best you'll ever have. Great idea Bob

[@rebeccabarrantes4836]

Amazing walk down memory lane.

[@BUBBLEGUMGIRLONE]

I’ll give it a try. I’ve seen that restaurant all my life. My parents took me once. I think if they put some thing sugary on the menu, it would really help bring people in. In the 70’s and 80’s it was always buzzing with people. With long lines. Remember it was before Sizzler. $17.99 is a good price for steak. Other places are very expensive.

[@BUBBLEGUMGIRLONE]

Wow I can’t believe that man called him boy! He’s the owner.

[@armidaperez5360]

I love their steak sandwich ❤ & baked potato & salad👍

[@MyWhittierTV]

I almost went with the steak sando

[@reedberry]

I went to Steak Corral not long ago. Everything was good except for their mashed potatoes. I guess it could have been an off day, or maybe they had been sitting there a while, but they were pretty bad. To be fair, I'll give them another try soon. Our family dined at various Steak Corral locations when I was growing up. Their former West Covina location is now a Norm's Restaurant and their old San Gabriel location is now a real estate office, if I remember correctly. I'm glad there's one location left because, while both my parents are now gone, the great memories of our family outings to Steak Corral remain.

[@toydoll22]

I❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ve this spot steak corral

[@MyWhittierTV]

It is such a great place!

[@peteytpb]

Great flavors! Oddly enough, Jax steaks in Oakland had similar presentation-tray line, toast, giant vat of butter and the exact same flavors.

[@crystalhernandez1059]

It's an Og all-time favorite I love it 😋🤤

[@MrTraceuser]

looks amazing

[@MyWhittierTV]

It was really good I was happy with it

[@williamheinemann326]

I'm pretty sure I remember the cowboy statue out front used to hold a rope in its hands. Anyway, came here last year for the first time and quite frankly wasn't impressed. I'll have to give it another try at some time.

[@MyWhittierTV]

The steak and rope were stolen. I’m sorry you weren’t impressed I’m not sure what you expected. But the Whittier nostalgia is a big part of the experience. Thx for watching

[@j.f.699]

Miss the nearby Chris n pitts steak nearby too.

[@SteveCarras]

Been many times!

[@UnBeAtabLe9735]

I went there this month

[@jaysan7316]

Have we done Best Whittier Happy Hour !?!? I can’t remember??!!

[@stonephilips9361]

Can’t believe Chris N Pitts closed😢

[@maryvillanueva9388]

Sad this is only one left always went to San Gabriel then temple city after they closed San Gabriel location. And went to Azusa when I moved out there

[@paulayers1111]

Always loved it there, but always wished that their salad bar was actually all you can eat

[@thescoopr7344]

Best steaks in Whittier

[@GaryED44]

Hey I just noticed what happened to the lasso and the steak the cowboy lassoed in front? the rope and steak are gone!

[@adilla121783]

It's was a place like that in.the Lakewood Mall

[@mlbolts72]

Haven't been there in yrs

[@MyWhittierTV]

You might have to pop in for lunch. It was a good time

[@darrenhamada4955]

I went there several years ago I think one of my buddies took me there for my birthday. Not really a big steak eater drove by here millions of times never really appealed to me but yea it was good. All I remember was I was wild bill hiccup or whatever his last name was

[@jesseblanquel9233]

Are you aware that there is an abandoned resort up on the hills in Whittier CA that belongs to Alcapone???

[@MyWhittierTV]

No I never knew that.

[@_LucidGrinder_]

ayeeee, I live there lol

[@rickallen9864]

I remember the one Azusa in Azusa

[@Moondoggy1941]

I am shocked that they do not have the plastic red glasses.

[@PraiseOnMyLips]

When are you going to create a video about Cholo life in Whittier. It wouldn’t be Whittier without the Cholos. I’m talking about Whittier 13, SS Whittier, Quiet Village and such. The Cholos have been part of Whittier since the early 80’s. Lowrider life, Mongols and Graffiti are all part of Whittier. Lets keep it 💯, lets keep it authentic. Don’t want to shock the visitors when they visit and see a vato hitting the pooky pipe on a park bench in Gunn or how the new generation calls it Adventure park.

[@walter6873]

Prime rib?

[@marcustvchannel5885]

Solar panels

[@laurastewart3486]

The cutlery is awful😶

[@michaelcontreras212]

This place sucks!!! It’s a dive, the rib-eye I had was 65% fat, when we got there, no one guided us on the process of what to do and where to go, it was bad from the start! The food was warm/cold and bland, etc. I would not recommend this sorry restaurant nor would I never return .

[@MyWhittierTV]

Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching.

[@GaryED44]

Awesome video thank you so much my friend. I loved Steak corral as a kid and later. Mom always took me there at least once a week when i was growing up. Even after moving over by the whittwood still went to Corral often as possible.

[@MyWhittierTV]

Thx Gary I appreciate it. Yup still good I had a fun time

[@e-ticket5625]

Been going there since i was 5 years old in 1975!
