The Witch and the Hundred Knight is a video game released in 2013 by Nippon Ichi Software for the PlayStation 3. The game follows the story of a witch named Metallia, who lives in the swamp and is known for her dark powers. Metallia is a unique character in the game, with a strong personality and a mysterious background. She has a foul-mouthed and sarcastic attitude, often belittling and insulting others. Despite her flaws, she is a powerful witch and is feared by the people of the nearby towns. The protagonist of the game is the Hundred Knight, a small creature summoned by Metallia to do her bidding.
The Magic Lamp Inn opened in 1955 but the building was a restaurant since the 1940s and retains its rustic charm, with lots of brick and stone, and a unique Spanish tile roof with tiles of different shades of red arranged in a variety of interesting patterns. It really must be seen in person to be appreciated!

Magic Lamp Inn, Route 66, Rancho Cucamonga, California – CLOSED
I’ve driven most of what’s left of Route 66 in California and the stretch through the ‘Inland Empire’ of San Bernardino County is one of the most boring stretches, with mile after mile of chain stores and restaurants, ugly shopping centers, and suburban tract homes. But there is a short segment on Foothill Blvd in Rancho Cucamonga that is well worth a drive for a good meal, especially after dark.
This daytime shot I took in 2008 gives you a bit of an idea how this stretch of road looks. On the right (South) side are the Magic Lamp Inn (which is just out of view), followed by historic Vince’s Spaghetti, which opened in Ontario in 1945, then later at this location in 1984 (but the building looks much older). On the left when I took the photo there was an old fruit and vegetable stand, which may be gone now, followed by a low Spanish style building, which is now a sushi restaurant, and then at the intersection with San Bernardino Rd. stands the lovely and historic Sycamore Inn, which deserves a post of its own (to follow later).
But I recommend you drive it at night.
The incredible neon sign still has a flame coming out of its spout!

entrance to the Magic Lamp Inn
Inside is a large cocktail lounge, then past that there is this wonderful fireplace seating area. Notice the massive cactus outside in front of the window.
The fireplace after dark looking through the front window.
The food is traditional steakhouse fare, featuring USDA Prime beef, and most dinners come with a fabulous relish tray, delicious cheese bread (a specialty of the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire), vegetable, and choice of potato.
Around the bend is a visit to our next stop, the Sycamore Inn.
