Pioneer Cafe Low Calorie Plate

This may be the last thing I review at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale because they changed their hours. The owner came up to me himself and apologized for the change.

In any case, the Low Calorie Plate is almost all protein. I mean, look at all those kinds of protein. You should eat this after a workout because it will get you jacked.    

Pioneer Cafe Bacon and Eggs on Toast

Pioneer Cafe Bacon and Eggs on Toast is the wasted and hungry meal that some how got on a restaurant menu. This tastes fine and is filling but isn't it something you should be cobbling together when you have a hangover? 

Pioneer Cafe Grilled Salmon Dinner

Pioneer Cafe Grilled Salmon Dinner tastes a little fishy. It being fish I guess that's right. There are a lot of things that taste fishy in Glendale now that I think of it. 

In any case, this is rather basic, good for you, and boring.

Pioneer Cafe Chef's Salad

This is a Chef's Salad at Pioneer Cafe. The thing is enormous. It was the first time a salad filled me up. I mean, look at that thing! 

Pioneer Cafe T.B.T.

Is a T.B.T. a thing? Turkey Bacon Tomato and Lettuce. Come to think of it why is a B.L.T. a thing? Anyway, the T.B.T. at Pioneer Cafe in Glendale is a simple idea that tastes classic and brightens your day. The only problem I have with this is that I want another one as soon as I've eaten the first.

Don't look at me like that! I'm fat!

Pioneer Cafe Grilled Chicken Breast Dinner

The Grilled Chicken Breast Dinner at Pioneer Cafe in Glendale is one of those things that are just kind of a thing. It's a good amount of chicken, the vegetables are bland, an the potatoes are an option. 

All and all, not bad but not the best thing on the menu. 

Pioneer Cafe Scoop of Cottage Cheese & Fruit

At the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale this is the 'Scoop of Cottage Cheese & Fruit'. This is salad for the people who don't like salad. This is a great healthy snack that will put some nutrients in your system. It's great for those of you waking up with a hangover. Trust me, people are showing up to this place with a hangover. I mean, not me because I'm working but some people. 

Pioneer Cafe Pumpkin Pie

Fall is in the air...well, it's California so no it's not but we'll pretend, and at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale you may just want a slice of Pumpkin Pie. Well, this pumpkin pie is creamy not spicy and all around nice. 

As for me, I'd rather it have a stronger flavor, but creamy works for most folks. 

Pioneer Cafe A.B.T.C.

Over at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale a simple lunch is this A.B.T.C. a relative of the B.L.T. I think. What we have is Avocado, Bacon, Tomato, Cheese, and lettuce all on toasted bread. You hardly notice the tomato. 

As sandwiches go this is a good one. I'm not sure it's worth going to a restaurant to eat, but then again, I'm not sure you're saving all that much making this at home. If you have this with a salad you're likely not as fat as me. 

Pioneer Cafe Spaghetti

At the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale you can get yourself a plate of Spaghetti. That is not truly red gravy on there but it's, well, okay. It needs more meat to be red gravy. I mean, I can't say I'd order this again but it's food and unoffensive. Who orders spaghetti to start with? I mean, it's so easy to make.  

Pioneer Cafe Chicken Parmesan

At the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale this is the Chicken Parmesan. Well, I mean, that's what it is. I have to point out that it's a little bland. Then again, I've never seen a Chicken Parmesan that wowed me.  

Pioneer Cafe Chicken Primavera

At the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale Chicken Primavera is not on the menu. This was a recommendation from the waitress. In any case, this is everything I would expect from American Primavera. It could use some pepper. 

Otherwise, it's a filling dish at a reasonable price.  

Pioneer Cafe Clam Chowder

I will never understand clam chowder. It was there at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale so I ordered it and it was, well, boring. I still don't understand clam chowder. 

Pioneer Cafe Salmon Primavera

Salmon Primavera is not on the menu at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale, but the waitress told me about it because I'm a good customer. 

This has a strongly fish flavor but it's not bad at all. There are a number of things I'd rather order than this but this is good stuff. What am I saying? I'm not even sure. You kind of need to like Primavera to be interested in this and if you're not a Primavera fan this won't set you on it any time soon. Still, I'm glad I tried it. 

Pioneer Cafe Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Pioneer Cafe's Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich feels like a light meal when I'm sure it's not. This sandwich is a great combination but eat it with a salad or die young. 

It kills me so good.

Pioneer Cafe Bacon Omelette

Over at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale you can get a nice Bacon Omelette. Well, it's just what someone would want for breakfast. I mean, omelettes are so simple that it's hard to comment on them. Fun to eat, I'll admit, but hard to comment on. 

Pioneer Cafe Chili Burger

Pioneer Cafe Chili Burger is more chili than burger. It's like a whole serving of chili on top of a burger. Now, I'm not a big onion man so all the onions detract from the chili.

I had to cut the burger with a knife because the bun was so lost under that chili. Finally someone figured out how much chili to put on a burger. 

Pioneer Cafe New York Stake and Eggs

Perfect for the gym rat who is trying to ram as much protein down his gut as possible the Pioneer Cafe  New York Stake and Eggs is a big day starter. 

Now, let us be clear that if your going to hit the gym and pump some iron this is a great way to get the basic building blocks of Mr. Beefy, but you need vegetables to keep up the workouts. 

Pioneer Cafe Corned Beef on Rye

Over at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale you can get yourself a nice wet Corned Beef on Rye sandwich. I am beside myself in the understanding that this is how they make these across the country. I like my lunch meat grilled and not just heated. 

These have a lot of salt so they are best had with a beer...then again what isn't best had with a beer... a colonoscopy I guess. 

Pioneer Cafe Ham and Cheese Omelette

Okay, so the Omelettes at Pioneer Cafe in Glendale all look alike so I have to show you these cut open to figure one from the other. 

Ham and Cheese is a classic, but that cheese is a little on the cheese sauce side of things. Not a bad meal, I'd get this again, however, there are better things on the menu.
