“They ran out of sole so we got the cod and it delicious!!! The batter was crunchy, light and seasoned well! I would definitely visit them again! I really enjoyed this fish especially because the batter was not thick! Sometimes the batter is so thick and you bite into the fish and get a glob or gooey not throughly cooked batter....YUCK!!!! I suggest arriving as early as possible to prevent them selling out! Service was great, they take Apple Pay. Ambiance...well it's outdoors so it was cold outside so we ordered and waited in the car but this row of food trucks is quite popular! There were quite a few folks browsing the row of different trucks!“

“Tbh I was hesitate too try this burger joint out,only because it looked like a hole in the wall food place ... but let me tell you guys how so wrong I was !!!!! This place is the freaking bomb ?!!!!! Great food , great service, and decent prices ?!!! SO IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED MISSION BURGERS YOU'ALL NEED TOO TODAY !! IM TELLING YOU ITS WORTH IT!!! NEVER LEAVE HERE DISSATISFIED!! ?“

“My wife and I visited Vicky's after church today. This was one of her parent's favorite places. She wanted Mexican food and decided on the carne asada plate. I chose the pork chops, but got the breakfast as it was a lot cheaper. We were both very pleased with our orders. She was able to make herself four tacos and loved her rice and beans. My pork chops had great flavor. I loved my hash browns as well. My two eggs and biscuits and gravy were also very good. An added bonus was at the drinks fountain. They had grape soda. When do you ever see grape soda? I enjoyed the change...mmmm! The service was outstanding and everyone in the place was cheery. Great atmosphere.“

“I never had a problem with this place. The food was fast and quick, friendly, and nice staff. The only thing I don't like is the parking lot. It can be a pain at times when busy. That's only a negative part, but it's not their fault for it“

“Long lines for a reason! These delicious burgers make my mouth water everytime. I can't get enough of these delectable tasty mmm mmm so kick myself amazing burgers. Order a 4x4 and call it a day. I'm gonna proudly feel fat and enjoy this meal always. Boom! Yeah buddy!“

“If you are looking for a family friendly place to come and dine then Papa Joe's is it. Not only do you find great food here, but you'll learn just how much of an impact this place has on the community. Did I mention the price? No I didn't, you'll have to come see for yourself, but trust me it's worth the price. It's not moms meatballs, but hey it better then I make at home.“

“This place is a hidden gem ? honestly reminds me of tacos in Rosarito and Tijuana! Respect the culture and learn some Spanish before you eat here! Lol it’s authentic and I wouldn’t change it for anything! The lunch rush is real and I’ve never waited more than 8mins for my food no matter the line. It’s cooked to order so don’t expect to be in and out. All good things take time! ? enjoy tacos, MY FAVORITE IS SHRIMP AND FISH! but they have everything from asada to cabeza! Burritos, mulitas, tortas, tacos, caldos, quesadillas, platos, sopes, huaraches and more! Tuesday and Sunday they have fish taco specials and it’s the best deal in town!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp close by door“

“A great change of pace and the service was top notch!!“

“The service and cooking is great“

“Great Food, employees are super nice“

“Not sure if I remember his name right but Carlos Lopez was super professional! Really nice and worked with urgency! I’ve managed in fast food before and was surprised! He is what we’d call “a great example of us managers”. 10/10 destination point.“

“Muy buen servicio y la comida... ufff se rifan paisanos!!“

“Everyone did a great job tonight. There was a bit of a line when I showed up. My wait was maybe 5 minutes if that. Was chatting and making new friends while waiting in line. Jeremey, Zèke and Alexander were all fantastic, nice and helpful. My order was ready in maybe a few minutes. Turned out great and I would definitely come back. Thanks for the nice treat and friendly service.“

“My local mom & pops burger spot.I love to support family businesses.I would rather buy a burger here any day than at a monopoly franchise like McDonalds. WAY BETTER INGREDIENTS! We've all been to hit or miss fast food spots, but in my opinion, this place never disappoints.They have a variety of burger combos. I always order them with grilled onions instead of regular onions. They're probably my go-to item when i don't plan on cooking at home. I like switching it up and ordering different types of burger combos.*My personal favorites are the Riverwalk burger and the ABC burger listed at the bottom of the review.I usually order over the phone & the wait time is approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Perfect time and distance from me.This is not only a burger joint, but they also serve great breakfast items, including the hangover cure item - Menudo. If you've had a long Friday night of drinking, nothing beats saturday morning hangovers better than Menudo.The weekends tend to be their busiest. The morning rush can sometimes have you waiting for your order. If you don't plan on eating there, calling and placing an order is your best bet; time your wait time and your distance. Otherwise, place an order at the counter and enjoy your meal there. (Free drink refills)Items I've personally tried and recommend, listed below. The items with 2 stars ** are the ones i recommend if you're a first time vistor here. ENJOY !*Cheese burger combo with fries & drink*Bacon cheese burger with fries & drink**Riverwalk burger combo includes sourdough bread buns, cheese, pickles, avocado, bacon, tomato, thousand island sauce, fries, & drink**ABC burger combo includes regular burger buns, avocado, bacon, cheese, tomato, thousand island sauce, fries, & drink* Western burger combo with BBQ sauce, onion rings, bacon, fries & drink**Menudo bowl 52oz with corn or flour tortillas (served on weekends)**Rib eye steak breakfast with eggs, toast, & hashbrowns**ham steak breakfast plate with eggs, toast, & hashbrowns**sunrise breakfast plate with 2 eggs, hashbrowns, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, & pancakes*french toast breakfast plate with 4 pieces of french toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, & 2 sausage*bacon breakfast burrito with bacon, cheddar cheese, eggs, & hashbrowns**Riverwalk burtio with bacon, sausage, ham, cheddar cheese, eggs & hashbrownsIf you're vegetarian, there's a few Mexican dishes to choose from, the veggie burger (meatless), and the vegetarian omelet.Veggie omelet includes: eggs, mushrooms, onions, tomato, bell peppers, avocado, & swish cheese.SUPPORT SMALL HARDWORKING FAMILY BUSINESSES !i will be updating the review and adding photos every time i visit from now on. Im usually with family and haven't honestly taken photos.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger, salads (just ask them to remove the meats), vegetarian omelet, huevos Rancheros, etcParking: There is plenty of parking space in the shopping center. Depending on the day of the week and hours. You might have to park a little further than in front of their establishment. Not entirely an issue, you'll find a parking spot in no time.Kid-friendliness: Great family restaurant with plenty of seating.“

“WHAT THE DILLY YO!!!!!5 stars for the ice cream cake!!! Yummmmbo! Don't forget to check-in for that free Dilly bar, ya feel me?!?!?I grew up with DQ, so this visit gave me all the nostalgic feelings I needed. Moms was craving that DQ ice cream cake for her birthday, so you know what the golden child had to do, boom bon appetit!Although it was smackin', there really wasn't much "cake" under the ice cream. It was more like an ice cream pie in the shape of a cake. Either way it was delicious as sh!t, and you might as well just go get you one right now; you're welcome.Enjoy friends...It's a really small take-out joint so just be prepared to grab your stuff and go.“

“The food is pretty decent i usually judge Chinese fast food by the way they good chicken and how they cook bbq pork and the chicken was not dry and the pork seasoning was pretty good compared to a lot of other places in riverside. The service was a bit slow as they took time packing the food but I didn't mind because they freshly cut the teriyaki and bbq pork in front of you. I also got the broccoli beef but it was like a 2/5 not the worst but not the best. The ambience is exactly like any other Chinese fast food place and cozy.“

“The Drive-thru line was not as long as other locations and the line moved pretty quickly, The employee taking orders wasn't too welcoming, the employee at the window turned that around with his professional and polite attitude, and the fresh ingredients sealed the deal.Parking: Parking is tight and a sign is posted stating no oversized vehicles or trailers.“

“JM has always has very polite and kind people behind the counter. The food and service is fenamal and I can't wait to go back. I tried what they call a "sexy Italian" which is the #13 on the grill. It's always so delicious and would highly recommend“

“The only thing I really like here is the taquitos they remind me of fosterfrez. Other than that the food is alot of frozen meals but they are affordable cheaper than most places the burgers are okay of you need to buy many for large groups of people probably the cheapest place you'll find. Employees not so friendly but it's whatever.“

“Pizza was a little under cooked but still amazing customer service staff was so nice and friendly and the cheese bread was delicious and thank you to the employees your the best ! And place was super clean and they don't charge for Parmesan cheese packets unlike dominos &Pizza Hut so that's a plus .“

“Perfection, without a doubt recommend. This is the quality food you deserve to it, not that burnt msg noodles and dried up orange chicken from panda express. Panda will have limits to scoops but here, oh you will eat good because those big scoops are actually worth the price.“

“Pizza is consistently good ?. I really like the option of vegan cheese , Im good with the upcharge for it. Overall we like buying pizza from Scratch, BUT the one thing I just can't get over is the SERVICE CHARGE!, and the more you spend the more it goes up. It's like they are discouraging us from spending more ? .Vegetarian options: Vegan Cheese , which is very rare for pizzerias to offer.“

“In general, i love coming here for lunch and dinner, I normally get the snack taco with quakamole in it with 3 packets of inferno sauce, This is the best fast food ever! It might be because I try a family owned one which they put love ? and care ?, We don't talk about the one up the street.“

“The food is amazing!! Plus the owner was really sweet!“

“Asada Frys are amazing.!!!“

“in door dinning now let's go“

“Very flavorful. I didn't get to try them fresh so I had to freeze them. But it was still very delicious. The food is high in sodium and calories. Juices are high in sugar than I'm used to.. So I don't think I'll come back anytime soon unless they have low-cal options. But overall it's a good option to use over fast food.“

“Came in fir the once a year Venison sandwich, amazing, now just have to wait another year to get spoiled again!“

“best pancakes and breakfast ever, they actually use real butter“

“Everyone is awesome and the food is on pointt“

“We took my son to get his favorite meal (Mac and cheese) after a difficult doctors appointment, and when the manager noticed him through the car window, she came and gifted him and new little cow plush! he was so happy and she really made his day. thank you ❤️“

“We’ve lived here about 5 years and have said several upon several times that this is the friendliest Carl’s Jr when it comes to drive thru. Whenever there’s been a mistake they fix it immediately- particularly this last time they forgot my drink cuz we were chit chatting and the gal ran after my car with my soda. Appreciate the commitment! The fries have always been hot, too.“

“I’ve been hooked on their tuna melt on sour dough along with fried zucchini since 2011! I worked as a nurse right across the street from them. Although I’m now retired, I still treat myself on the way home from the mall. Also Super friendly staff!“

“The Team Leader Adrienna was very personable and professional. Felt very welcome“

“The location representing Raising Canes is superb. Although my order had a small discrepancy, the manager, Marcus, handled it promptly. He proved punctual with his word, genuinely concerned, and exceeded my expectations. The hardworking and exceptionally kind staff further contributed to a positive experience. I highly recommend this location for anyone seeking a fantastic restaurant experience with delicious, Louisiana fresh food. "This was quality I can count on!" C. Alfred“

“Used the online ordering option based on past reviews that there might be a long line when I got there on a Friday night. Online ordering was simple. Arrived on time and there was maybe one person in line. Food was fresh and tasty. Would definitely go back“

“I LOVE this place. The sandwiches are great! The service is ALWAYS great. They are very kind and efficient! I work across the street so my time is limited. Even when they are busy, they get it done so I get a good lunch at a reasonable price, done quickly. I strongly recommend this Subway! This is a tough corner to work because there's so much going on. They are unfailingly kind and patient with the clientele. You should go!“

“Miss Vanessa is in here HOLDING IT DOWN! She's the ONLY employee working both the drive thru AND walkin orders ALL BY HERSELF and has OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE while doing so! You go Vanessa coco! Keep shining you little star! ✨️“

“This is one of those hole in the wall gems. Don't read this book by it cover. The outside is a bit run down, but what's inside is what's important. And inside you will find some great food, I recommend their teriyaki plates. Watch out for their chili sauce. It's got some kick to it.“

“Ordered by phone for pick up at this location.Got a large Veggie Lover's; a large with toppings of ham strips, mushrooms & pineapple tidbits; a large with toppings ofbeef sausage, mushrooms & pineapple tidbits;Plus buffalo wings.I love the crispy bottom crust,and pizza have generous servings of the toppings.They have curbside or delivery,Mobile app for carryout, online order or pickup.“

“Only reason I don't full 5-star this location is because the entrance and parking are a crazy nightmare at times. The staff can get bust and miss small details sometimes. But, that's the restaurant experience and I can't knock them for how busy they are. It's bc it's good quality food each time I visit.“

“I come here mostly for their breakfast croissant sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. The food is usually always good here. The service is fast and friendly. I also like ordering their number 12 which is a spicy chicken and a cheese burger with fries, a cookie and a drink for only $6 dollars plus tax. It's a very good deal not many places actually offer this deal at their Carl's Jr which I find strange. It such a great deal.“

“Have never had a bad experience with Jersey Mike's but Taia (I really hope thats how you spell it) absolutely KILLED IT! Made me aware they were out of cold sub bread, but when I inquired about the hot subs, immediately asked what they could make for me and they made it fairly quickly. Overall Taia served me with extremely amazing service. Not to mention how good the food was too!!!“

“The speed of service was great! I did not have to wait too long for my order. I came here for lunch and ordered my usual of a western cheeseburger with a side of waffle fries. Everything came out exactly how I like it! Will definitely be coming back to this location.“

“Arturo here runs a clean ship! Excellent customer service that so almost unheard of these days. Food quality is always fresh and hot. Restaurant is always clean and well kept. My favorite Carl's location in my neck of the woods for sure !“

“China Wok Inn is a staple in the community. They've been around for at least a decade. Even when management changes, it always remains the same bang for your buck place to eat. They always load my plate and are very quick to finish your order. Their smoothies are delicious, and their soup is wonderful. I can always count on a plate full when I'm low on funds.“

“buenísimas me atasque 3 y ni deje nada“

“No lines at midnight, fast good food“
