Best known as a wince-worthy cattle call for current and former sorority girls (and the current and former fraternity brethren who love them), this Sunset Strip megabar has a secret. The food is good.

Sloppy four-dollar rides on the mechanical bull are far less frequent during daylight hours, when—to many an Angeleno's surprise—Saddle Ranch serves a large menu of surprisingly tasty (and cheap) food. We were once embarrassed to be seen here, but we've evolved into slightly better people who proudly embrace our love of the weekend brunch. The service is enthusiastic, the portions ginormous (the "giant waffle," which could feed four, is $7.99), and an extra ten bucks brings bottomless mimosas or Bloody Marys. Meaning that "hair of the dog" cure can be applied to a mighty big dog.
