Being from the OC and all I should probably review some eateries and hangouts around here.  Last night I stumbled across this cute little Hawaiian bar/grill in the town of Fullerton.  For those of you who do not know Fullerton, it is the home to my Alma Mater Cal State Fullerton including Kevin Costeners’ and home to the best college baseball team ever.  The main street also known as downtown Fullerton is Harbor, it is adorned with many cute and fancy boutiques and great places to eat.  Last night I was not so lucky.  My goal is to try every restaurant down there, so I went ahead and sat down in this little Hawaiian Tiki Room that was just about that.  Decor….cute. Service …..bad.  Food….worse.  The Palapa grill  ( which is the name of the restaurant) may look pleasing to the eye, but boy, that’s all it does.  I figured there were many people in there so it must be good, well I was wrong.  Service was so slow, one gal had to be the bar tender and the server.  I should have known the food was lousy because no one in there ordered anything, they all were drinking.  I went ahead and ordered a teriaki grilled chicken wrap and a mixed drink……poor choice.  When my food came ………half an hour later, my wrap was uzing teryaki sauce all over, the lettuce was soggy due to the fact that the chiken was piping hot.  So much for eating healthy, come on, we all know wraps are stuffed with lukewarm grilled chicken so the lettuce won’t sag!!!  And that teryaki sauce, I could have marinated four whole chickens in all that junk.  My drink was even worse, no flavor no alcohol…how sad.  Boy I should be a professional food critic.  This place definitely gets a D on my list, if it wasn’t for the decor I would have given it an F.  Do yourself a favor, spare yourself from this culinary catastrophe, you can pick up a great chicken wrap at McD’s for a buck twentynine.
