It might simply be a relatively unknown restaurant that has many of the characteristics of a finer establishment. I never know for sure. That's half the fun. It's also half the danger. With such a broad spectrum from which to choose, coming up with a top five wasn't easy.
Some places stand out easily on traditional merits.
That being said, here are what I consider the five best restaurants, in no particular order, that you'll find in the Inland Empire Off the Eatin' Path. Tyler St. No. This little place is so unassuming, you could easily miss it. Tucked back into the anonymous tan stucco of a strip mall on Tyler Street, it's so normal, it's almost invisible. But what's served inside is anything but normal.
