Food scene
This is more upscale Mexican Restaurant and a little on the pricer side but well worth it every now and again. If you're like me and love a margarita with your Mexican food this is the place to go. I love the skinny margarita! I'd recommend most things here especially the shrimp tacos and skinny enchiladas.

The best Italian food in town. It definitely isn't a place you'd just stumble upon and don't let the location alarm you. Just GO! We have had them cater a few parties for us and I've never been disappointed. Make reservations if you can. It's more of a dressy casual place (white tablecloths) and the food is top notch.

This is a super chill but awesome burger place with both inside and outside seating. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The options on what meat, bun, topping, etc is limitless here so most people can find something they like. Not just burgers, they have great salads too. Their salmon is great on a bed of greens. It's a great place for milkshakes also if you need some extra sugar. It's really a meal in itself. They serve beer and wine as well. It's delish :)

Yes, it's a chain but it's consistently good. We love sushi and switch up the places we go but we always come back here. I love the salmon and yellowtail sashimi. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is also very good. Cheers!

This is a local establishment with great food and beers - homemade by them! Most food items I've had are tasty and they really have a good combination of things so most people can find something they like!
They also have another location where they serve their beers and on the weekends host food trucks and it's a great relaxing spot. The other location also hosts a large Octoberfest event.

In my humble opinion, the best pizza in Santa Clarita. Nice and fresh salad bar too. Tons of TVs with sporting events broadcast also!

The bar area is great. This is a high quality place but that also comes with a high price. If you are looking for that, this is your place.

Santa Clarita Certified Farmers' Market
26455 Rockwell Canyon RdMovie Theater
We rarely see movies in Santa Clarita. We either go to ArcLight in Hollywood or Sherman Oaks. You can enjoy a beverage during the movie, the seats are comfortable, you can reserve you set in advance, and the popcorn is the best - with butter of course. In our opinion, it's worth the short drive - after traffic of course!

Awesome selection of basic and unique items for reasonable prices. This is the store I frequent most often in Santa Clarita. Many choices of organic items as well. The flowers they sell are great and I think last longer than ones sold elsewhere. You will find something you'll love here!

They have a wide selection of produce (regular and organic) for fair and sometimes awesome prices. They make sandwiches and have a meat counter with some nice selections as well. This is my second go-to grocery store after Trader Joe's.
