Good/Bad FBO Reviews

I second Lakefront. I went there on a Primary O&I and we took their car into NOLA for some good food. KPAUL's Louisiana Kitchen = good food and 50% off the entree. The FBO looks really nice too, and its a fun airport to fly into. I don't know if a T-45 can do the river run, but its a lot of fun.
If you are ever in the Nebraska area, Omaha/Eppely Field (OMA) is a nice FBO. Not that big but it has plenty of space to relax, nice flight planning areas and a handful of crew cars readily available for visiting aircrews. It's a very short drive to hop across the border to Iowa and hit up some good local restaurants.
Also, Offutt AFB is right next door and if you fly any approaches into the field, you will get a chance to see all of the RC-135's and E-4B's. It's one of the only fields in the area with a PAR so a good excuse to hit it up on your route of flight.

There are very few FBOs that I've had bad experiences at. Small town, no where near the military seem to be more appreciative. This last trip we got a Dodge Charger, Cadillac CTS, and Infiniti G37... All for the price of three midsize.
That's not saying much.
Subtle humor implied. It actually is very good.

The Regional Jet Center in KXNA - NW Arkansas Regional is one FBO that you will want to avoid. They are very rude. After uploading 7000 pounds of Jet A, they told us our business was small potatoes to them and that we could not use the pilot lounge.
Bush Field in Augusta was pretty sweet.
Imperial County in SoCal is always good for some free pizza and sodas.
Pecos, TX will have Mexican food brought to the plane for you.
Some guys have recently told me Sedona, AZ is a good hook up--have to test it myself.
All the ones around P-Cola hook you up pretty good.

Ellington is a decent enough place to stop for food. Last time I was there, they had a Firebird courtesy/crew car you could take bagstriking into town. T-top as well, so you can really live it up. They also have a big mini-cinema in the mil only side (perfect for titty flicks), along with a fridge and sink stocked with sandwich stuff, beer, and ice cream sandwiches.

Lake Havasu has great barbecue right at the ramp.
Palm Springs has leather couches, a big screen TV, and hot chocolate chip cookies.
Salt Lake City gives you a Lincoln Navigator with leather seats.
The 29 Palms EAF has an excellent port-a-shitter by the VIP ramp.
Flagstaff has a great little coffee shop with a chipolte breakfast burrito.
Choose wisely.

You forgot to mention that Palm Springs also features a pool at the FBO......not that I've ever flown there with my trunks handy, but someday I will.
As for socal, I'd also throw out a bump for Brown Field. Pretty easy place to VFR direct into, lots of cool old planes including some old guys with a flyable MIG-21 in a hangar. The FBO there is pretty massive with a full up restaurant and bar, and a cute girl at the flight school counter. Just don't punch out on short final, or you might find yourself in a prison.....and also don't confuse it with Tijuana airport......probably would be better to just stay there if you accidentally landed a naval aircraft there

I don't remember it being a "hook up" from the standpoint of free stuff, but the scenery is awesome and the restaurant is very good.
I know phrog73 and I already talked about this last year, but as of last year, there was no contract. It looks like it's currently up for review again and you may still be able to get fuel. I'd talk to your MCO first just to be sure (if you care about such things).
ETA: Random Sedona pics.
