Go with MP Review in Costa Mesa. It's reasonably priced and has alot of good study materials. I took this course and passed the PE Civil on my first attempt in April 2010. The seismic review by Rick Drake, SE is really thorough too.

I took the course out of Cal Poly, http://www.peitrcc.com/index.html. I found the theory exceptionally good. It's not that they did not cover the practical problems but the theory was really good (what I needed). The structures was excellent. I know because I didn't understand most of it (but it was really well organized). But my co-worker (took it at the same time) really seemed to get a lot out of it and co-worker passed the civil the first time out. But for me, I failed after taking the course. I do not blame the course, it's me. With my background, I needed another course, one that was really good for practical problems now that I understood the theory. For this I took the Excel Test Prep course, http://www.exceltest.com/pe.html. It's not that they didn't do theory, but the practical was outstanding. The guy that came in from Texas and covered geotechnical saved by rear-end. Unfortunately, this course seems to be in the bay area only. After taking this course, I passed the civil.

Wish you the best of luck.

If you do plan to take the MP review as outatime2002 has suggested, I'll see you there next weekend. I thought it was reasonably priced compared to RBF and Chelapati. RBF does offer breakfast every morning though.
