Bonded about Austin and then had amazing food that he suggested we get. Couldn’t have asked for a better 1st time experience. Thank y’all“

“My partner and I spent our anniversary here. The customer service was amazing. The tomahawk special and the cheese and truffle ravioli was great. We didn't have any room for dessert but our server still got us a dessert for free to celebrate our anniversary. Definitely will be back.“

“First time here. I'm leery of chain places, they usually aren't worth the hype. This was worth it. We were there to celebrate my birthday. Hubs made the reservation a week prior. The staff went out of their way to make it special. Judy was helping us tonight, backed by Trent. They were both great at their jobs. Timing was perfect. Not too much, not too little. I appreciated the level of service. There wasn't a rush. The restaurant is open spaced, but it wasn't loud, even as it filled up. The food was on point. Seared pork belly, Cesar salads, Flemmings salads, Tomahawk steak, rack of lamb, creamed spinach, Brussels sprouts were all delicious. Then dessert arrived. First of all, Flemmings coffee is amazing. Their regular, brewed coffee. Fantastic. The crème brûlée was good...but the lava cake was the best thing ever. I'm not even a chocolate person but this lava cake is phenomenal!! This was the first time but it won't be our last!“

“We love this place. Love the sodas. First time trying the scallops and shrimp plate. Don't let the pics fool you. It's delicious for fried food. We have been coming here for decades. Always love the service and the food. Fresh mochi and fish. Chicken teriyaki is delicious too. We'll be back.“

“When you want a no fuss delicious lunch or dinner check out California Fish Grill ! I love places that offer a fresh tasty menu like this everything we’ve tried has been delicious ( don’t forget the chimichurri sauce ) here are a few meals we’ve had !“

“You MUST try this restaurant!! I have no words to describe how surprised and good the food here is! I felt like I was eating in my friends home, you could taste the love in every bite. The layers of flavor are unlike any Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. The service was good and the place is quaint, not fancy but welcoming. I had the shrimp Al La Diabla and the heat snuck up on you but not in a overwhelming bad way. My daughter had the shrimp and octopus cocktail and my husband had the Vericruzana. Both are incredible. I can't wait to go back.“

“The place might be small but it delivers exceptional quality! We were instantly greeted and helped to our table by the amazing chef who also made sure everything including the high chairs for our kids was wiped down and clean.Pros:the chips are actually house madeThe green sauce is to die forThe horchata is actually homemade too!Civeche is freshFood is all hot and made to orderThe service is better than you'll find anywhere elseCons: there aren't more of this manKid-friendliness: Plenty of high chairs and a friendly atmosphere“

“Happen to be in fresno and stumbled upon on this restaurant.The place is really nice and clean. Service was awesome. And the food was amazing.Try the camarones al godinazo and cold pacifico.Definitely worth making a trip back to fresno just to eat.“

“Never been here before but was impressed how quickly my food was and it was set up as a pick up but you can eat inside. I was blown away how juicy the fish was and the tartar sauce was a good compliment with the Tabasco. I normally don't eat collard greens but they were delicious. I left nothing on the plate!“

“For our first Friday of Lent, we decided to come to West Coast Fish N Chips for the first time ever. It is a smaller restaurant and we got there around 6pm so we beat the after 6pm rush. I got us a seat while my husband waited in line to order. Clam Chowder- 5 out of 5. It came with oyster crackers and absolutely delicious. Fish n Chips- 4/5 My husband loves fish n chips. Had a bite of my husband's fish and it was good. He refused to let me eat his prawns, but he liked them. He didn't finish his fries so I finished them. They were cooked well, but needed salt. I salted them and they were really good. Crab Cakes- 3/5. I've had better crab cakes. They looked a little burned, but $4.99 for 2 crab cakes is not a bad deal. Service- 5/5, Amazing, Liz whom I knew, was doing cashiering was sweet and kept up a good pace with the line, the ladies who brought out the food were efficient. I will definitely be back.“

“I have cooked thousands of oysters throughout my life. I know what a good cooked oyster taste like. This place has the best oysters I have ever had anywhere. They are cooked to perfection and are just one of the best foods I have ever had my whole life. I had oysters Rockefeller all along the coast in San Luis Obispo county and they couldn't compete to Richards oysters. Yes I have gotten a bad oyster at Richards once, but that is normal anywhere you get oysters. I go to Richards usually and get about 2-3 dozen oysters and it's the best meal of my life. Also, you can't forget that this place is a time capsule to a time long ago. A true fine dining restaurant. If you don't like seafood I would also recommend the half rack of Australian lamb.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a slope going in the front door for wheelchairs.“

“I have been to almost all of the seafood boil places in Fresno and can honestly say the flavor here was great and I really liked the spice level. There are a few things about this spot that were notable to experience and made it not as enjoyable as it could have been. Two things they can include that will make the experience better: a little trash bucket for the table and a different style of scissors along with some crackers. The plate they give you is a good idea though, it keeps it less messy and pretty for pictures! The other thing that would be better, but is less doable is having easily accessible sinks so you don't have to touch your gross hands on the bathroom door to wash your hands.All in all, I still had an enjoyable experience and the food is great, definitely worth a try!“

“The mango ceviche *chefs-kiss* Hubby and I have been looking around for delicious seafood and we have found my favorite ceviche spot! $18. The ceviche is so well seasoned. Mango was ripe and sweet. Avocado was extra $1 but it paired perfectly with everything. Our daughter ordered the quesabirria tacos. $15. They were full of birria. The consume was a tad bit spicy for her taste but for us who can take a little bit of heat, it was perfect. The shrimp tacos too were delicious. $15. Whatever they breaded the shrimp in did not lack in flavor at all. We just had ceviche last night and I'm ready to go back again tonight. Lol“

“Everything was made fresh to order. Panko fried seafood is the best. First time being here and the service was friendly. Definitely will be coming back to try the salt and pepper shrimp. I was told that this is what they are known for. The cocktail sauce is like no other . A must try. And the restaurant is clean.“

“This place is a little hole and the wall but pretty clean in the inside. I was confused why the place is called fish and wings when it's more of a Mexican food restaurant. What attracted me was the advertising of their 99cent tacos cause I had my 3 daughters and my niece talking bout their stomachs was touching they back so I figured hey yall can get all the tacos yall want lol. The lady at the counter was very sweet. I decided on the birria pizza, a fish taco and wings and fries for the kiddos. First the birria meat was so tender and seasoned to perfection. We got the honey glazed wings and the kids ate everything but the bones. The fish taco was also really good it had about 6 fish nuggets that were lightly battered and very crispy. I loved how the lady saw I had my hands full and even tho she was the only cashier took the time to help me take the food to my car. I would definitely recommend this place. Matter of a fact getting ready to go back now“

“we made a order for a special dinner, we ordered a few dinner plates and appetizers. two of the dishes sides we requested were "vegetarian" however when we opened our order it was NOT vegetarian. we also ordered cheese wontons and they had crab in them when we commented on this the manager was INCREDIBLY RUDE and asked if the menu stated they were "vegetarian cheese wontons" like we didn't know what we were reading off the menu or as if he didn't know what exactly was stated on the menu.“

“The place was nice. The people was very nice. The worker come to my table making sure everything was ok. On problem was some of the plates wasn't clean. They don't have much American breakfast choice. They only had Pancakes. Which was really good. I do recommend their pancakes.Parking: They have parks with the restaurant name on it so you know where to park.“

“Food and atmosphere are great . BUT take them seriously on their heat scale of 1-10. My husband loves spicy food and so he ordered the spiciest, 10!!!! Boy was he sweating like crazy. Lol the next visit he went down to 6... Lol be careful on the heat level.“

“My go to place picking up food for my mom that lives in West Fresno. The staff are friendly and get your order to your liking. I especially like their sizzling rice soup with lots of vegetables and chicken plus shrimp. Mom says this is the best food here. Her dish is the chop suey chowmein with lots of vegetables. The prices and portions are very reasonable and you get your money's worth.“

“Oh my God, Cajun Crakein' in Fresno is a seafood haven! The seafood boil was a feast - king crab, scallops, mussels, clams, shrimp, Cajun sausage, corn, and those soft, heavenly potatoes, all drenched in a spicy Cajun sauce. The operation is top-notch, tables well-prepped with wax paper, heaps of paper towels, gloves, bibs, and wet naps for the full experience. The place smells like seafood heaven, and it's impressively clean. I've been twice, and both times left me beyond satisfied. Forgot to snap pics, too excited devouring. Seafood lovers, Cajun enthusiasts, flavor fanatics, this is your spot - Cajun Crakein' is a winner!“

“Had a lovely family with the in-laws early dinner. They accommodated 8 of us perfectly. Food was good, not spectacular but good. I had the crusted sea bass I felt the hot plates tend to overcook it during dining. The Brussels sprouts weren't very flavorful and a bit undercooked. The spicy shrimp fantastic and the creamed spinach was very good. Everyone said they enjoyed their meals. I did want a picture in the end but our server never came back, they were busy. Over all very nice and easy to visit without too much background noise. We definitely will visit again.“

“This is a four star rating for a chicken place in a gas station. The chicken is good considering it is from a gas station, not in comparison to some restaurant so take that into consideration as you read . My son has been asking to try the chicken for quite some time as we pass it on the way home from school. Finally caved and got some chicken tenders, mac and cheese, red beans and rice, and biscuits. I was surprised that the food was as satisfying as it was. The chicken had a little Cajun spice as advertised and although it could've been more moist it was still tender and good. The red beans and rice was good and the mac and cheese was really very tasty. There's nothing fancy about it but it was very cheesy in comparison to a place like KFC. The real star for me was the biscuits. I've had a long affinity for the honey biscuits from Churches Chicken. There are locations in the Bay and in So Cal but not in the Valley. Moist biscuits with some type of honey glaze on them. Krispy Krunchy Chicken's biscuits are a good substitute for those biscuits. I'll be back just for the biscuits. If you're looking for a fast food chicken fix I would give them a try. It's filling and if the line is any indication they're pretty popular. Next time it'll be biscuits and I'll try their mashed potatoes and gravy. What a pleasant surprise.“

“Thank you Chuy for catering my sons 21st birthday with such short notice. The food and service was fantastic! You made this occasion so special and I want to thank you and your family for making it happen. I will definitely use you again and recommend your services. Muchísimas gracias ??“

“The food was delicious, and our server was professional and helpful. We sat at a very comfortable table in the bar area. It was our anniversary, and we requested a table in a quiet area. We were led to a table in their quiet area but a large party was going to be seated near us. We asked to have another table. It was in the bar area at a very comfortable table. It was not too noisy at 6:30 on a Friday night. The musician, Ed Burke, was fabulous and made the evening extra special. We will definitely go back!“

“This was my first visit. I came for the Kalbi grilled beef short ribs, marinated in Korean-style BBQ sauce. The ribs were excellent! It was a lot of food for the price; a large serving of short ribs, short-grain (Japanese sticky) rice, macaroni salad, and vegetables including broccoli and cauliflower. There are many other items on the menu I’d like to try one day. Highly recommend!“

“This review is specifically for the manager that was working the floor tonight! She was amazing. Hostess greeting wasn't great & service was ok. But she was all over the floor speaking with guests, even bussed the table & cleaned the one next to us when it was empty. Noticed drinks were empty, took our plates & dessert orders when our server was busy. I totally get servers can get slammed, but having a hands on manager that wasn't just standing around but even taking the time to bus a table was super impressive to me definitely impressed by her! She was blonde with some blue in it. 10/10 for that service from her!“

“My husband picked up food for us from here today. I got the tacos birria which came with the consume, pickled carrots/onions/peppers (they were tangy and great). My husband got a carnitas burrito. When ordering, my husband was given a little cup of soup while waiting. He said it was amazing. The tacos get soggy pretty fast BUT they were so full of flavor, hot, had some crunch, and were drizzled with an additional sauce. I have no complaints and will be returning soon!! Husband said the burrito was good too and the owners were great!“

“Food as beyond my expectations from the flavor to the freshness. Hard to find fresh perfectly cooked octopus and they delivered. Everything was freshly made. Waitress was very attentive and had great customer service. Would highly recommend.“

“Tried this place last week as our weekly date brunch and it was really good! My favorite seafood dish to order at a mariscos place is aguachiles, and they didn't disappoint! It was flavorful and spicy, just how I like it! I love that they offer a smaller dish other than a larger size in the molcajete. I ordered the smaller one and still got nice and full! My boyfriend always orders breaded shrimp tacos and he loved them! The only thing that threw us off was that it was extremely cold in there and if your a person who gets cold easily I would take a sweater so you can eat comfortably. Other than that it's a great place with great food!“

“Fresh hot food. The MexicanThe taste is different I would call it unique. Customer service was wonderful. They provide table service. Clean establishment. Great for friends and couples to gather and hang out grab a bite before an show at the movies or a “

“after a long trip from sequoia National park, my family and I stopped at Fresno for the night and were contemplating where to eat. We stumbled across this restaurant and we're very pleasantly surprised. This spot had amazing food, fantastic service, and most importantly, air conditioning in the blistering Fresno heat. We ordered the fried fish filet plate, fish tacos, and the shrimp veracruzanos and each of these items were simply amazing. My personal favorite was the shrimp Veracruzanos plate. As someone who lives in Los Angeles and has had Mexican food very often, I can confidently say this spot is one of my favorites so far and would recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal. Service was fantastic as well.“

“As authentic as it gets. Chicken mole was disappointing, they used the so called enchilada sauce. The servers were very attentive everything is clean and refills are prompt. Nopales were good and fresh. The coffee is good and so are the aguas frescas. Freshly made tortillas were a nice treat. Pancakes were tough also but very good overall.“

“It's my favorite spot to go in Tower. The food and drinks start at $5, so you can dine on a budget if you want. The cocktail list is really where it's at, but they have plenty of good beers on tap normally also. I would skip Sequoia every time you come down to Tower and do this instead. If there were more places like the Lincoln, the world would be a better place. Great concept, they nailed it! Cheers“

“In town for an event. We were headed out and wanted some breakfast before hitting the road. We love Machaca and this place did not disappoint. We ordered a couple of michelada's to start and they were excellent! Meal onto its self, great presentation. Service was great and chips and salsa were good. The only thing I would have changed is to have rice instead of potatoes , but my fault for not reading the description all the way. Next time in town will go back.“
