    Seeing the Sizzler reminds me of the Bonanza restaurant from the 70s-80s that our family always went to in Missouri. Still the same „look“ after all these years!

    Not to burst your bubble BUT.... The Santa Cruz Boardwalk, which is the oldest surviving amusement park in California (1907), serves as the backdrop for a lot of scenes in The Lost Boys - and it's where viewers are first introduced to “the family.” The family being a group of big hair-wearing, wheelie-popping, teenage-brooding vampires. The fictitious town of 'Santa Carla', with its lively boardwalk and funfair is unmistakably Santa Cruz, south of San Francisco between Monterey and San Mateo.

    Its fun seeing all the locations that have meaning to me. I lived in Malibu in HS and was bussed into Santa Monica for hs. Chad lowe rode my bus, Dean Cain and Gary Busey lived on my block. Point Dume is Point DOOM. I went to CSULB and lived in Long Beach for 15yrs before moving to Santa Clarita( where a lot of movies/tv shows are filmed daily). We had a sizzler here, but it went belly up. The airport is actually in Lakewood.

The newer versions of Planet of the Apes and Star Trek had scenes filmed there. Lunch and dinner: I'm sorry you didn't try In n Out Burger. Maybe you already did on a previous trip. It's not for everyone. I love Sizzler, but I have to drive a long way to get to one. The salad bar comes with the bread and a baked potato if you ask for it.
