“After a Great meal in a classic Brunch meal at Dennys, I’m deeply grateful to a knowledge Josue’s awesome Service and incredible hospitality towards my family and I, personally keep up the great work Josue! Can’t wait to come back and see you brother!!!“

“Every single drink and dish they make is the absolute best. If you haven’t tried their grain bowl or biscuit sammie, do so immediately. And the cardamom latte is liquid gold. I love everything about WEOP including the staff and owners. Best place ever!!“

“I did enjoy my experience here, I used to always come a lot as a teenager and things have changed but it still is great. My server, Azul, was very kind and polite, was continuously checking if we needed anything. Overall a good experience.“

“Headed over to urban plates for a bite because I’d heard such good things about it and it was delicious !! Abby at the front surprised me with such a warm greeting, felt like I was chatting with a friend and she recommended their chocolate chip cookies which of course I couldn’t deny and I was happier for it !“

“The Attic provided us with a great start to the long weekend we have planned. The food was great. From the short rib poutine to fall off the bone pork ribs, everything we had was masterfully prepared. The doughnut beneigts with homemade strawberry jam were the perfect end to the meal. The rootbeer float was amazing.Portion size was perfect for what we were looking for at the time. The restaurant itself was beautiful and was very relaxing. Outdoor seating was comfortable, and of needed, there was overhead heating available.We can't wait to go back and eat there again!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp up to the front door, but the outdoor seating is right at the sidewalk level and easy to navigate a wheel chair through“

“Maile, our adorable & attentive server made for an enjoyable dining experience. The ribs can't be any better & the bistro salad as accompaniment a welcoming crunch of coolness. The Lemon Cake was very high this evening anticipating its key lime pie contender coming May.“

“I wanted to eat a good burger and fries so I went with my sister and we had a great luncheon. I ordered the burger special with cheddar cheese avocado grilled onions pickle with fries and black tea omg now I am gonna take a nap..I did order the chocolate chocolate cake to go..yummy delicious lunch“

“Fantastic view of the ocean! Belmont Brewing Co is located at the enttance of Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier. I'm not sure if there's free parking in the area, but we parked in the parking lot next to the restaurant which is not free. Had to pay at the kiosk. This place serves american food and alcohol. Came here during lunch time with coworkers. They ordered alcohol and returned to work right after. I ordered the american style kobe burger. It was very delicious but be aware that it's not real kobe beef. Staffs were friendly and had a good meal here. Really nice restaurant by the beach. Would recommend eating here. It might be a little pricey, but you're next to the ocean.“

“We. Are here for our friends birthday. Very nice vibe with an industrial plus natural ambiance as they use lots of metal and wood for decoration. We ordered the SS signature burger, some appetizers (truffle fries, Korean style pork belly with lettuce wrap, calamari), some drinks and a dessert (pistachio cake, which is all right). The food in general was tasty but not mind blowing. Probably above average. The waitress was super friendly. Recommend for friends and family gathering.“

“Food - 10/10 the pizza was delicious! Unfortunately when we came he didn't have much of the sandwiches because he sold out fast. I will definitely be back to try the other stuff. The drinks were good as well! PB&JAY protein shake was filing! And the Romeo and Juliet mimosa was sweet and savory! Service - fast, friendly, and efficient Ambiance - I love the ambiance! Indoor and outdoor seating. Love the decor inside and outside as well!“

“We were looking for a nice brunch spot, and we came across The Ordinarie. With a 2hr free parking right nearby, we were off to a great start even before arriving at the restaurant. There was no one manning the front, so, we just seated ourselves, and a server approached us soon after. My wife got the Spicy Fried Chicken and Waffles and I indulged on Short Rib Hash. The fried chicken was not so spicy, but it was fried up really well. The crunch from the coating was absolutely crack. And the waffles were made from rye batter that gave it a very unique nutty flavor. The short rib on the hash was melt in your mouth tender and the red wine sauce was deep and flavorful. The crispy onions and fried potatoes paired really nicely with the meat and sauce. Overall, the food was bomb, and I have to give extra points for refilling our drinks without asking. The service was just right; not too much, not too little. All in all, we walked away full and very satisfied. Highly recommended!“

“My whole family is in love with this stand especially your French fries. I get a Box of the sweet potato for me and a large of the regular for my boys thank you for giving us so many options of yummy burgers hot dogs salads and my favorite the chicken Binurger we'll be back for more fun time and time again this Saturday we also visited the free art classes out front at nojo West what a fun time we all had lunch after at the stand for more community enjoyment thank you will be back for more fries“

“Noble Bird is the best brined rotisserie chicken ? spot I have been to in Southern California, aside from the chicken, all the food is fresh, from the salads to the sides, you don't feel dumpy after a meal compared to other "healthy" eateries I have been to, go back atleast 1x a month. Plus they got a dog friendly patio with a dope ? fire pit.Dietary restrictions: Menu had gluten free, dairy free options which is huge“

“We were greeted properly and had our choice of seating upon entering. The restaurant was quietly busy, but we felt attended to throughout our meal. The scone was buttery, moist and delicious. We ordered crab cakes and roast beef hash. Both were excellent choices- seasoned well with crispy edges!“

“Very cool spot! We lucked up and got a break from the rain to enjoy a beautiful lunch outside! The chocolate chunk icecream and burgers were a big hit! The breakfast burritos were a bit heavy on the potatoes slices and we were disappointed that we couldn't add all the fixins (no sour cream or avocados) but overall we enjoyed to food and location.“

“Great place for breakfast or brunch! Service was fast and food was good. The best part is the view! Parking is a bit of a hassle as they don't have their own lot and you have to circle a few times to find street parking. Go on a weekday to avoid parking issues and long wait times.“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

“Last week I had a burger and fries and today I had the comisky dog and chili cheese fries. The burger and fries were delicious. I'm originally from Chicago so I know my stuff and while the Comisky wasn't an authentic Chicago dog, it was still pretty good. The chili cheese fries were great. The chili was meaty with alot of beans ( real chili does not have beans but I digress) and generous.“

“Every Theon was great Food was hot and fresh the price was great! 10 bucks for double cheeseburger fries and drinks.The customer service was out of this world great! Greetings with a smile making the guest feel welcome. Kudos to all the employees! Worked like. Well oiled Ship ?❣️“

“Stopped by for breakfast before heading to the airport. Service from the Asian lady was much better than the white female lady.Food:Fruit BowlPopeye OmeletBiscuits & GravyThe Popeye Omelet was good and plentiful. I truly enjoyed the Biscuits & Gravy. It was delcious.I'd return again“

“I'm obsessed with this place! It's a very down-to-Earth, friendly breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in a very cool old building. I love the simple decor and surroundings, but you know what I love even more? The food! My best friend and I came here before attending the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, and I definitely want to return when I'm in the area. I ordered a chocolate chip pancake, a breakfast burrito made with bacon (hash browns on the side), and a hot chocolate. It was PERFECT. Definitely go here if you want an awesome breakfast. (Note: The restroom is down a flight of stairs, but there's a sign saying staff will direct disabled people to a more suitable restroom.) Our server was a friendly woman who seated us, brought our food, and checked on us several times, all with a smile. I highly recommend the Omelette Inn! ♥“

“This burger shack speaks volume.. nice clean and friendly... the owner is awesome and sweet i placed a huge order for the dr office and everyone enjoyed.. normally we would order from in and out but we all wanted to try something different... i ordered the duce and chili cheese fries and yumm so good... will definitely be back to try more items on the secret menu“

“Came here from L. A. JUST for the Kabocha squash bisque, which I literally CRAVE! Heart skipped a beat when I learned it's not usually served until dinner- but It WAS READY! Yeeeaah me! Eating one serving here, and taking a few home for a few days during the week! It's worth the long drive!!!“

“Of the fried chicken, garlic noodles, peanut slaw, fries and four different sauces we had - we loved and devoured it all. Seriously good -- it is clear they put a lot of love into their food, use quality ingredients, and make everything fresh. 10/10“

“I've always been impressed by the consistent excellent service at In-N-Out, and this visit was no different.Despite the busy atmosphere, we managed to find a nice spot to sit and enjoy our delicious meal.Great spot to take kids who like fries!The food was as amazing as always. I like to get a double double with chopped chilies.Their burgers are fresh and I don’t feel icky after eating them. Opt for your fries to be ‘fry-light’ or ‘extra crispy’ to explore a different texture of potatoes.“

“Only had the food once it was pizza at a music venue, can't complain. Service was music venue Service, cant really complain. I've been to 15+ shows here, always great. I think in the last 5 or so years, someone came in to change the sound system, and it only got better. 8.8 out of 10 for me.“

“I have loved Cena Vegan since they were only a pop-up, and I will love them until the day I die. Seriously. It's that good. Their burritos are the best I've ever had, vegan or not. They make their own meats and they are all amazing. I usually opt for the al pastor. Portion sizes are always great. And as for this location, inside of Partake? Absolutely lovely. I'm always shocked by how few people are dining here. Clean, fun music, plenty of seating.“

“Friendly staff and service. Got a pin. I love their tomato soup. How good can tomato soup and onion rings be? Oh wait. Really good. I don’t like ranch but I think I like their hot ranch and garlic dips. I also really like their grilled cheese. Had their philly cheese one. And it was good. They have funny and interesting pins. I like milk tea so I had to get that!“

“Came here on a recommendation. We wanted a place to eat and have a few cocktails. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outside patio has heaters. There were also several large groups. Our waitress was incredibly helpful. We had Brussel sprouts to start. Ordered the halibut and the seabass. The pistachio tiramisu wasn’t quite what we expected and didn’t finish it.“

“My experience has been really good since I’ve eaten here. The food taste amazing especially the burritos! The only thing that I would say should improve, it’s a minor change, but I don’t like how they staple the bags shut. I like to Check and make sure my order is accurate before leaving. And I have left before with the wrong order not just from here, but other places as well. Overall, I highly recommend eating here!“

“We have frequented Louies on 2nd in the Belmont Shore community of Long Beach CA several times. We have enjoyed the food, service and location. The patio is great to sit, eat, drink and enjoy the people watching. What a great place to soak in the sun and fill your tummy with delicious food. See you there soon.“

“Loved!! Came with my husband for the first time and left satisfied. I had the baby gem, and the lamb chops, and both were yummy. Ordered both a pineapple, and espresso martini and both were yummy as well. Service and ambiance were both top notch, and for as many tables as there are, the whole experience felt super intimate. I will be visiting again!“

“The service was pretty good until the shift of service. I ask for more tea ? to (3) different folks. Instead, I got the check quicker than any tea ?. I paid and left. I'm not sure if they ever charged me for the extra tea because, at this point, what was a wonderful dining experience ended abruptly. Love the greetings when we got there. It was the leaving that bothered me. I'm sure they would have done better if there was one person serving my table, but I thonk she had to take her break or something. I'll be back because it wasn't that big of a deal not to support the local spot“

“My husband and i decided to try something new for breakfast. We had been driving past them for years. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is a little small but the food was great. Our server Josefina was amazing. She was very attentive. We will definitely be back.“

“Wow. What a find. The atmosphere was inviting. Had an outside area to sit which is two thumbs up in my book. They are dog friendly. This was our first visit and I guarantee we will be back. Enjoyed their Cadillac Margaritas with the Brussel Sprouts to start off. They were fantastic. Then we had the Shrimp Scampi and we thoroughly enjoyed. The server would check on us and we never felt rushed. Also all of the folks working there were very respectful and professional. Check out their menu. They seem to have something for everyone.“

“Ordered online and food was ready on time. Burgers were excellent, chicken sandwich was so good too. Fries and sauces were great. It's usually pretty busy so it might be tough to find a spot to sit, limited seating/tables. One of the best smash burgers around. Definitely worth it!“

“It’s a cool concept and convenient for a quick meal pick up. It’s not a sit down restaurant, it’s like a collective of restaurants, like a food court but not because there’s only a couple places to sit and eat. You can order food online or at the site and pick up there. I didn’t know it was set up this way so it was confusing when driving there and trying to find it. The building says Daisy on it, you can park and go in.“

“Will definitely be coming back here. Both the food and service was wonderful. Our waitress, Jasmine, was beyond spectacular. We had some odd modifications and she made it work. Cannot thank her and the rest of the staff enough. If you’re in the area, this place is the hang. The pepper jack burger, chicken nachos, and Bavarian pretzel with cheese sauce is the move“

“My friends and I had our Friendsmas celebration during Saturday Brunch and had such a great time! Nathaniel was our server who was super chill, kind and very attentive to our table along with everyone else at the restaurant! Thanks Nathaniel! :) The ambience is beautiful and very inviting, perfect for an outdoor brunch with the girlies. The food was just as great and reasonably priced - highly recommend the breakfast burrito with bacon! Overall 10/10 experience and hope to be back soon!“

“Visiting from Texas and ate here because my friend works here. I just finished eating some of the best fried appetizers i have ever had. The cheese curds and onion rings are next level. The breakfast burrito is totally off the chain. My kids food all looks delicious and theyre eating their little butts off. Do not miss out on the stache or the sideburns.“

“This little place is awesome. Great food great selection of food and awesome service by Giovanny. Would definitely recommend to any locals or anyone who's wanting a good place to eat. The Small Cafe has got you covered. Had the eggs Benedict and it was great. Thank you for being so cool , will definitely come back.“

“Really friendly staff and happy to help. For reference I am totally blind as in I can’t see anything. So yes, I am a disabled individual. They’re always happy to help me, and to even get to different places around the hanger. Super friendly as well especially the earlier shift don’t know the later shift really. I am sure they are good too. Lovely people. Every time I go they are just as friendly. :d good work! The food is made well and tasty as well. The food is quite filling as well. Got their blazing fries. I forgot to put in my number but the system remembered it. I was so bummed until I checked my messages later. And there was my reward. Good food, good company, and nice service, not sure what else to ask for.“

“Everyone was super nice, fun atmosphere with great music. I had a margarita with chips/salsa/guac. The guacamole was okay, but the salsa was flavorful and delicious. The margarita was a good price. An affordable, fun place to eat with lots of great vegan options!“

“My boyfriend and I had Vikings for dinner and it was sooo good. The fries are lightly seasoned and have a nice crunch. The burger was great! I’ve never had a smashed burger on a brioche bun, and it paired really well with it. The wings were tasty too! Overall, great experience and makes me want to try more food truck food!“

“This place has a lot of character and charm but the food is incredible. I had to stop by for an old-fashioned chocolate cream pie a cup of coffee. They have a traditional counter that you could sit at the place and you can tell that it fills up pretty regularly. Menu is huge and I recommend trying almost everything here. There's a wine and beer selection but the appetizers of you when I'm coming back for!“

“Last week I had a burger and fries and today I had the comisky dog and chili cheese fries. The burger and fries were delicious. I'm originally from Chicago so I know my stuff and while the Comisky wasn't an authentic Chicago dog, it was still pretty good. The chili cheese fries were great. The chili was meaty with alot of beans ( real chili does not have beans but I digress) and generous.“

“Visiting from out of town and found this place. Needed vegetarian options and they definitely have some. Had egg and soy chorizo burrito and fruit cup. It was delicious. Great service, busy but still attentive. Bought a tofu and soy chorizo wrap with homemade chips to have later on and it was great too. Definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch.“

“Mostly outdoor seating. Plastic tables and chairs. Food is always good. Parking is a pain since they share the parking lot with the marina. Dirty city beach bathrooms shared with marina and local homeless.They make a good mimosa and service is always spot on. Place is always super busy on the weekends. Fairly handicap Accessible but they do pack a lot of tables close together which can cause issues if you have someone in a wheelchair“
