“Very tasty coffee! Thanks for amzing taste! 😇🤗”

“The pizza was delicious! The people in the kitchen are hard working, most of them family members. I wasn’t impressed with the hostess, or a couple waitress, although others were great. Being in the Restaurant business for yours it’s just really hard for me to watch somebody just stand around, especially when there’s dirty, filthy areas that could be clean, even just the top of tables and condiments.
We did enjoy the pizza, we might order to take out. I was a bit disgusted by the attire that a couple people wore. I think you need to be more presentable when you’re working with the public. Not just my opinion.
I JUST——-”

OMGoodness the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the creamy mascarpone was so stinkin' delicious! Enjoyed a Sangiovese Polago (Sangiovese & Montepulciano blend) that paired extremely well. LeeAnn had the Chicken Picatta which was also off the hook... can't wait to try the new location in Glendale!”

“We held our wedding and reception at Keeler's in October and it was an amazing experience! The staff were very accommodating and worked with us to move our event inside due to the rain.

We can't recommend Keeler's enough! Big shout out to Julia Fox and Sonny for coordinating and making our day perfect!”

Great selection of burgers here. My wife and I had the big Blu Burger, coleslaw and onion rings side. Delicious and huge burger.

They were great at communicating, had everything packed up and ready at the time it was supposed to be, and the food stayed frozen and perfect. The team was so excited about the afternoon treat and can't wait for our next Nautical Bowl day! Thank you again for making this a special day for our girls!”

“Sean prater owner of A 360 view window cleaning and bartender at Harold’s carol is a pedophile”

“They won me over with their Pad Thai. This is the signature dish I always order first at every Thai restaurant. This one crushed them all.

I walked in late on their last hour on a weekday night this week, and for the summer slow season, I was impressed. Most small business restaurants shorten their hours. (They are open until 9 pm

It felt like I was dining in their home by the decor, atmosphere, and especially the service. Pete, the chef/owners husband, takes pride in their family business and is exceptionally warm and hospitable with every guest!

My Pad Thai with beef was served with a generous helping of protein compared to all my past Thai restaurant experiences. Moreover, it was mouthwatering, the beef was SO tender, and the dish itself was not dry like some pad thai's.

I was so relaxed there I forgot to take photos beyond my food. But I will catch up when I return several times to devour the entire menu, one dish at a time!”

“The August monthly Choripan special was excellent! A sandwich with grilled Schreiner‘s chorizo and a House-made chimichuri sauce on a toasted hoagie roll from Noble Bakery. Sorry I didn’t get this recommendation out the earlier, but maybe this nudges Mike to add to the menu… I can only hope.”

“We had a wonderful Sunday Brunch. The French toast and breakfast burrito were super. Someone in our party said the chicken fried chicken was the best she'd ever had. Service was friendly and efficient. Nicely done. we'll be back soon.”

“Everything was top notch from the chili corn bread, beans, smoked wings and brisket! Definitely will be back.”

“We have stopped in a few time on the way to the store and picked up breakfast. Very friendly, good customer service, good prices and great breakfast burritos! We'll be back often.”
