“Awesome service. Always a pleasure to have as a waitress Michelle”
“Nice friendly place to have a good time and a good beer and the bartenders a good friendly guy I recommend crusaders to anyone looking for a nice place to relax or have a good time with a date.”
“I absolutely love this place! The server’s are so amazing and provide such good service. Shout out to the girl for being so amazing, funny, and uplifting! 10/10 here!”
“Last night, we had a flavorful dinner at PF Chang's, struggling to choose from their menu since all the dishes are delicious. In the end, we couldn't resist the crispy shrimp and Mongolian beef topped with fresh green onions. The apple drink infused with smoked cinnamon had such a unique flavor that we happily ordered a second round. The highlight, however, was the warm, complimentary service from our friendly servers, Katlynn and Daniel. They made us feel more like friends than customers, engaging in meaningful conversation and making our evening truly special—far beyond ordinary service. If you're planning to visit PF Chang's, I hope you'll have the chance to meet them and enjoy such a warm, friendly experience with their kind smiles and spirits.”
“I’ve always enjoyed the food and the Luigi’s experience and last night just added to that! I hosted a surprise party in their warehouse and it was phenomenal! Their staff is amazing! From start to finish, they delivered! From their detailed-oriented event coordinator, Lis Clarke, to their friendly, attentive, and fun staff—I am thoroughly impressed! All of my large events will be held at Luigi’s from now on!”

“Oscar was our waiter for lunch. He’s very accommodating. He brought our drinks right away. Took our order. He was friendly, outgoing very positive vibe. Our order without any problems. The steak was cooked to perfection. Even asked if you wanted tea to go. he was an excellent waiter.”
“We stopped at this restaurant in Bakersfield on our way to Death Valley, and honestly, the exterior and overall floor setup might seem a bit deceiving at first — but don’t let that fool you. The food is absolutely delicious!
We ordered Malai Kofta, Sarson Da Saag, Paneer Butter Masala, along with Amritsari Kulcha with Chhole, Garlic Naan, Makke Di Roti, and Tandoor Roti — and everything was outstanding. The real standout was the Amritsari Kulcha with Chhole — just superb. Fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor. The breads were perfectly made — soft, flavorful, and served hot.
The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming and kind. You can truly see the pride they take in their service and freshly made, authentic recipes. Everyone in our group, including the kids, loved the food.
We will definitely be coming back again!”
“Carla’s Café feels like stepping back into a simpler time—when fresh ingredients, homemade recipes, and genuine hospitality were the heart of every meal. In a world that moves fast, it’s comforting to know there are still hidden gems like this that remind us how food is meant to taste: fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. Every bite reflects the kind of quality and attention that’s becoming harder to find these days. Places like Carla’s Café don’t just serve food—they help brighten your day and give you a small moment to slow down and enjoy something real.
Grateful to still have spots like this in our community. Easy 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Very kind service, fast and tasty food! I'm always looking for pupusa restaurants, I will be back to try the pupusas and hopefully the jamaica agua.
Today I tried the chicken tamales, corn tamales and rice, my first time eating a Salvadorian tamale, it was yummy, and the rice was also delicious! Thank you! 😊🫔🍚”

“What a special treat to discover this restaurant my first morning in Bakersfield. Delicious Chilaquiles, and a coffee made with that very special natural sugar found everywhere in Colombia, South America, Panela! Topped off with salsa music. I’ll be back.”
“After leaving another area restaurant/bar due to zero service, we decided to stop into Nuestro Mexico. So glad we did. The servers remembered us even after it had been awhile since our last visit. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. From that moment on - the food, cocktails, service was ON POINT! Best decision we made. Comfortable atmosphere in historic central Bako. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This place was a really nice surprise. The food came out delicious and everything was well seasoned, so every bite had great flavor. The portions are pretty generous too, which I always appreciate. It’s definitely the kind of meal where you feel satisfied by the time you’re done. The prices were completely fair for the amount and quality of food, so it felt like a good deal overall. One thing I thought was cool is that you have the option to either order on your own or go with full service, depending on what you prefer. That flexibility makes it easy whether you’re stopping in quickly or planning to sit and enjoy your meal. All in all it was a great experience and I’d absolutely come back again. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.”
“We celebrated my birthday on taco Tuesday & we also participated in the line dancing after dinner in their brand new venue. It was rustic with a timeless, vintage flair. The line dancing was family friendly and so much fun. I had the steak salad. It was solid! Good size steak medallions in a super fresh bed of lettuce and assorted veggies including tomatoes and beets with home made blue cheese dressing. Our daughter who almost never finishes any of her meals consumed most of her taco salad which was a generous serving. She couldn’t stop telling us how good it was! Papa had the very flavorful ground beef tacos with a side of perfectly seasoned potato salad. We ordered a side of carne asada tacos which were a little on the dry and salty side. Although the place was very busy our server was very attentive and recommended their Ribeye special on Thursdays…so, we made it out again tonight to celebrate our anniversary. We both had the amazing ribeye special and boy was it special! Salad was once again so fresh and tasty. The baked potato and sweet potato fries were melt in your mouth yum. The rolls were toasted yet so tender. The steaks were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. No need for any condiments on these steaks. We thought it would be good but not that good! Salute to the outstanding chefs! Our server Jasmine was also very attentive and made us feel at home. We ate in the newly extended covered patio which was very inviting but could use better lighting on the outskirts of the patio. We are looking forward to trying the fish Friday specials including shrimp tacos next! Thank you Ethel’s for the outstanding service and for serving up heartwarming meals!”
“Stopped here while I'm visiting the town. I sampled their English Toffee ice cream. That's a winner if you can have nuts. Big chunks of toffee. Got a pint of that. They only sell pints in their special plastic containers so it's a bit pricey but you only live once. If I was going to eat it right away I would have just purchased a cone which seemed like the best deal. I also bought one of each flavor of chews they make. They do sell them individually. 8 in total. Though they do have 3 Sugar free ones too. I loved the Caramel and the Peanut Butter the best. Peppermint a close 3rd. Then, in their freezer section they do carry containers of half gallon ice cream but those do not fit in my RV freezer unfortunately, As well as, frozen bananas covered in chocolate and some in nuts and have Dubai Chocolate bars filled with Pistachio ice cream. Those sounded better than they were. The pistachio ice cream wasn't very flavorful. It's one of my favorite flavors of ice cream too so I had high expectations. And for $10.25. Just not worth it at all. So, that was a bummer. So all and all would recommend coming here for a cone or sundae and some chews if you're into that.”
“I would like to thank the restaurant owner and staff for their outstanding service. Everyone was welcoming and attentive, and the food was very good. We truly enjoyed our visit.”

“By far the best butter chicken I’ve ever had ! My husband and I are obsessed. We eat here at least once a week. The atmosphere is always very relaxed and the employees are so nice and welcoming. Will definitely be a forever returning customer 💜”
“Stopped in for lunch, and was amazing as always. We’re a Frequent Foodie at Frugatti’s, because of the great service, food, and atmosphere. Don’t skip the dessert, you definitely need that. We met the owner, Ralph, today. It was fun to discuss his future plans and his passion for perfection. Best lace to eat in Bakersfield, hands down.”
“So, everyone talks about their Prime Rib, and yeah, it’s amazing—but honestly, don’t sleep on the NY Strip. It’s perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right every time. The service here is top-notch—super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and has that perfect “let’s sit, relax, and enjoy a great meal” vibe. Every visit feels like a little celebration. Prices are fair for the quality you get, and you can really tell they care about both the food and the experience. I left already planning my next visit. If you’re craving a steakhouse where the food is incredible, the staff is awesome, and the vibe is just right, Hungry Hunter Steakhouse is the place to be. Can’t recommend it enough!”
“I have been coming to this Super Taco location in Bakersfield since 2003. This is the first place I eat when I come home. Carne asada burritos are my go to but, definitely recommend you give this a try. Pura comida autentica desde hace 30+ Años. Teinen que venir a probar.”
“This is the cutest bar! Its so cool! It reminds me of bars in Pasadena and LA. The service was really friendly. Atmosphere: Artsy. Food and drinks: amazing!
We had the Salmon with hominy
Baked Brie with roasted garlic
Dukkah Fries and Buffalo fries”
“The banana split is humongous!!! My kids call me big back dad because I eat alot! I eat so much I became diabetic (lol true story). Today I decided to split a banana split with my wife and the banana split knocked me out like AJ did Jake Paul.”
“This is one of my favorite places to go in town~ They always have the friendliest staff and their food never disappoints! Their new yaki noodles and tazuna rolls are really great. I loved their tazuna roll because I got to build what I like in it, since I always have the hardest time choosing between what roll I want. Their tea is so refreshing to drink! I got the mango black tea and it was definitely the perfect thing to have in today's hot weather. Great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner :) <3”

“I went to Fabulous Burger for the first time today (08/01/23) and was really impressed with my burger and fries. We also ordered the onion rings (great) and the zucchini fries which were exceptional. The portions were generous and the prices were surprisingly low for the quality of the food. I will recommend this place to all my friends and family.”

“Very pleasant/professional staff. Great choices on their menu. Delicious food (five of us; each agree with different meals). Very nice ambiance. Fun history of the location.”
“I want to say I have ALWAYS loved this place! There's never been one day or night I went that was underwhelming. The atmosphere is intoxicating in the best way, the food is chefs kiss and high quality and presentation, and my Waiter last week Carter was the most understanding waiter I EVER had in all my years in this life. That man deserves recognition for the cordial humor, interpersonal skills, social awareness, patience, expeditousness and drive to be successful. Thank you Carter”

“Absolute amazing experience used to come here as a kid and started coming back now as an adult and I’ve always had an amazing time everyone is nice as can be and service is ridiculously fast”
“The appetizer ceviche was 10/10 and different from any other ceviche I’ve had. The flavor was perfect. The appetizer fries were good too, reminded me of an upgraded animal fry…..I had the tempura shrimp tacos. Flavor was great just a little too battered for me…Overall loved it and will be back soon.”

“Absolutely love it here. Every month there are faves, everything posted on IG as far as new menu items and updates, service is fast given its popularity, people are friendly and courteous. I am constantly impressed with how good their memory is. Menu is always 🔥. Prices are amazing.”
“This place has the best Mexican food in all of Bakersfield!!! We love their food!! My youngest son loves the fajitas. My oldest son has the chicken tacos. My husband has enchiladas or a tostada. I have chile rellano and asada taco. Everything we’ve had to eat here is delicious!!! Lupita and Betty are the best!!!”
“Tuve la oportunidad de venir a comer al Pollo Rico y la verdad quedé encantada con la variedad de sabores y las opciones del Menú, todo lo que degusté estaba delicioso, el pollo al carbón tiene un sabor exquisito, las empanadas y las papas rellenas súper deliciosas, los frijores y el arroz también me encantaron, en fin todo! La atención fue extraordinaria, mucho respeto y amabilidad y pendientes de todo lo que uno nesesitara, el ambiente estaba limpio y agradable y disfruté de la buena selección musical ofrecida en todo momento. Yo pienso volver muchas veces más y para mi es altamente recomendable este Restaurante”
“Multiple food options, quantity and quality A+. Staff meet and greet with superb. Understanding and communication excellent. This has been and always will be my go-to pizza store. Sounds are good too but I kind of think that the size of the salad went down a little bit and the price didn't I could be wrong but anyways.”
“I really like their food; the zucchini sticks are delicious, and the breakfast burritos are tasty, they are very nice and take their time to cook the food to make sure it is cooked to healthy standards, I don't think I will ever get tired of eating here, I do hope though with the minimum wage hike to $20.00 hr. that it doesn't raise the prices to high, and have to close them down, to many small businesses and even bigger businesses are closing down now because they can't afford to pay their workers and keep the prices down where their customers can afford the food, but they are one of my favorite fast food places to eat on this side of town.”
“Their ice creams are super delicious and affordable. The staff and the owners are spectacular and extremely friendly. Every time I go they always manage to light up my day. They have new flavors every month in addition to their set menu of flavors which includes a wide variety of flavors.”
“Do you want to feel special? Do you want to experience getting served at 3 course meal? Try their meals here they literally will melt in your mouth and dessert is the best part! I highly do not recommend bringing young kids this is an adult function. It's worth every penny. All proceeds go to charity”
“SO CUTE. What a hidden gem. Excellent wine bar. Great decor, easy vibes, light and bright. Wine and beer and small plates. Bar tender was so friendly. The little shop is adorable. They have decore and snacks and wine and beer for sale and olive oil infusion station and a grab and go cheese/ meats. Will for sure be back”

“Our group, ten hungry people traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles stopped in Bakersfield for Thai-Chinese foods. We were lucky, the owner did the cooking for us. Surprisingly, the quality of the food is authentically Thai and Chinese. Kee, the owner is a Chinese from Thailand and owns 3 branches in Las Vegas and other cities too. The service is excellent! and the facilities are very clean.”
“My husband and I have been regulars here for a while. The food and service here is just amazing. my favorite is the chicken marsala and lobster ravioli. Liz is the best waitress there hands down. Always so friendly! I can't recommend this place enough.”

“Thank you Don, for providing a welcoming environment. I took my networking group to your brewery today, the staff had a table ready for us & there was plenty of room. Bonus the pretzel with cheese was bomb!”
“7/6/25 I so enjoyed my Beef bento delicious,sushi, salad so fresh our server was great Davy O I will for sure return, We were a party of 12 with 3 children they also loved it!”
“We came to Seoul Shikdang to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and the experience went way above and beyond anything we expected.
First off, the staff was incredible. I brought a cake with us, and they were generous enough to store it in the back kitchen. When it was time to sing happy birthday, they surprised us by bringing the cake out with a candle, plates, forks, and even a knife to cut it. On top of that, they joined in singing happy birthday with us. It was such a thoughtful, kind gesture—something they absolutely didn’t have to do, but chose to anyway. That alone made the night unforgettable.
Now the food 🔥
• Bulgogi Hot Stone – absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor
• Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib (with added cheese) – hands down the best item on the menu
• Sweet & Spicy Gangjung Wings – crunchy, saucy, and packed with amazing flavor
• Marinated Dumplings – solid and flavorful
• Pork Curry Katsu – comforting, crispy, and satisfying
Between the incredible food, warm hospitality, and the genuine care they showed during our celebration, Seoul Shikdang truly stood out. Highly recommend for birthdays, special occasions, or honestly just a great Korean meal. We’ll definitely be back.”

“The fries are super crispy inside & out. They're very generous w/ toppings & sauces, it lowkey overshadows the patty. If you wanna taste the meat I'd get the double.
They also give you a pager so you can walk around to the other food trucks.”
“O'Hennings is truly a hidden gem. I tend to go either Tuesday or Wednesday nights. The bartender, Sheila, is the sweetest person. The drinks were poured perfectly, and she got everyone at the bar to play games. Due to its location, I was sort of hesitant to go in, but once you step inside, it's very inviting and calm. The parking lot is well lit, and theres a Taco truck right outside with their own seating area, or you can take your food into the bar. The only downside is that it's kind of dated inside.”
“Really good from the moment you walk in. Greeted by a beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. The waiter was engaged and helpful. The food was fantastic and the wine selection so good I bought and drank a bottle. Shocked an Italian Restaurant this good, in of all places, Bakersfield.”
“This is good place to eat they always have fresh food and great flavor I do recomend this place to all my friends and family. Caldo de pescado is the best in town.”
“Always have the best tasting beers 🍻 you can’t go wrong and they have the best service ! Been coming for years and don’t plan on stopping.”
“Love going to this restaurant. One of my favorite healthy places to eat. There aren’t many in Bakersfield that have locally grown food to enjoy a nice meal at. Besides, anywhere you go is expensive but here you’re getting quality food and locally sourced food. Heather was even there that day and came out and shared her vision with us. We are very excited for her and wish her all the best!!”
“Amazing food, service and atmosphere!! Ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and was one of the best steaks I've ever had.”
“First time trying and the staff took forever cause they were attending a bday table that was loud and obnoxious but we stayed and glad we did cause the food was really good. Cafe de Olla was good. Iced coffees not so much.”
“Mauricio the cook deserves a damn raise and a party. I accidentally left my purse yesterday because my child was upset and I carried her out while my husband paid. I called this morning and the waitress said it wasn't there and sounded Shakey like she was scared so I felt suspicious. I came in anyway and the waitress was nowhere to be seen but Mauricio immediately said it was there and handed it over. I cried a little and tipped him for his honesty. Real gentleman are rare these days, he's a real gentleman. His honesty is refreshing and he really saved my ass today.”
“AWESome experience . We had as AWESome very attentive waiter. Especially with our huge party of 30 celebrating my G’son’s BIRTHday. Every dish in our party was soooo delicious.”
“The service is always so nice! Especially victor and his right hand man! The girls are always smiling and the Chile verde nachos are the best in town but please tell us if you’ve had better😊”
“Such a great, amazing experience!!!!!! Recently celebrated my beautiful wedding! Kristin was such an amazing coordinador, extremely helpful thru out the whole process on my wedding planning! I would do it all over again! ❤️ Thank you Kristin truly appreciate you! Great Feedback I received from all my loved one from the day of the wedding, all the staff was extremely awesome, great attitude and very attentive to all my family in anything that was needed thru out the night! Best part was the food! Highly recommend 1000/10 by far the best food we have all had at a wedding! Soooo delicious! Thank you chef 🧑🍳 Everyone whom worked the wedding, me and my husband truly appreciate you all. You are all an amazing team!”

“Been here before for Sushi but this is the first time for Teppanyaki. Very good. Must try”
“Apparently my first review didn't post and those that waited on me and prepared my delicious meal deserve a glowing review and gratitude. Visiting Bakersfield, I decided to enjoy a steak dinner with lobster. I rarely eat shellfish but this entire meal was past a 10 and off the charts with deliciousness! ??? Major yummmmm!! I also enjoyed the brownie dessert that was topped with ice cream and scooped whipped cream. Oh my goodness gracious delectable. I also decided to order a slice of carrot cake to go and enjoy for the next 2 days. I was pleasantly surprised by the dessert being sent home with me as compliments from the management. The carrot cake slice was huge and sweet and delicious and I ate off of it for the 2 days of my visit. I know this is long but y'all must try the Stockdale location of Outback in Bakersfield, CA. As they say....G'day mates.”
“Very friendly service, good food and easy atmosphere. Every time we've gone it has been a pleasant experience.”
“The food is excellent, and I particularly love their pesto sauce. Thank you to the Hostess, Lauren, for taking such good care of me today. The pesto sauce is out of this world. I tried picking up some sauce the other day and they were out. I mentioned that I would come back this weekend when they add some more. I walked in there today and it was already waiting for me. Lauren absolutely 💯 took care of me. Thank you!”
“Been coming to champions for 2 months now and I gotta say i improved more than I thought I would in 2 consistent months, coach rock always corrects me from the ground up and always puts me on game when I need it. great gym, great people.”
“Never a bad choice coming to La Costa, I do prefer this location over Ice Houze but both are AMAZING. The servers are excellent, the food is delicious, and you can’t go wrong stopping in here for lunch or dinner.”
“We had such a great time as a family for my husband’s Birthday! Thank You! Our Server was Great!”
“Luis , a teppanyaki cook was very entertaining, enthusiastic and food was awesome!”
“If you want the very tastiest, off the charts flavor shrimp cocktail then you have come to the right place. I’m not going to lie, first impression was a small trailer with a table to eat right in a gas station parking lot but All that fades away once you begin eating. The Clamato base and perfectly chopped veg and cilantro and tons of good size shrimp! They are not skimpy but generous to a fault in my opinion than most restaurants will offer and topped with ripe avocado slices! We were served both tostada style tortillas and saltine crackers and napkins and soup size spoons. The 32 oz tall cup was rimmed with Michelada Sal con Chile! PERFECTION in a cup. The proprietors are clean cut, nice uniforms and very accommodating and friendly and bilingual. We will return because there was nothing preventing us from becoming repeat loyal customers. The menu is extensive too! Bravo! Enthusiastic thumbs up! Well done! The 32 oz was large enough for 2 people to be satisfied (on this occasion). Try them once I guarantee you will be satisfied too”
“My husband has been saying he wanted to try Brazas for several weeks, and we finally made it in. We enjoyed incredible food, a wonderful mimosa bar and phenomenal service. I was literally texting friends and family giving them a play by play of our experience. Hands down the best customer service we’ve experienced locally in quite some time. We will definitely be back on a regular basis!”
“i think heidi was the most fantastic professional bartender i’ve had at this bar in years can’t wait to come back. mainly to see her beautiful smile and personality… love bio best bar in town by far to visit with friends meet new clients or gain some more…”
“Best Italian Food in Bakersfield. Fresh made pasta. Fantastic Spaghetti and Meatballs. Our favorite for date night. Just around the corner from Frugatti's (also good) but more romantic and cozy.”
“You recently Changed the fries. People tell me they loved the thick perfectly seasoned fries. No one in my group likes the skinny dry fries. Can you bring back the old style fries, just give us less to make up for whatever you need to do. Thanks. We have been customers since you opened and we love the fish.”
“First time here. We had dinner here. I had been craving bulgogi for so long and this meal was so very delicious!!!! I paired it with the side dishes, white rice and the center plate with the tteokbokki and with the sauce…absolutely delicious! My friend had a seafood soup and I very much enjoyed that one too. The hostess was very sweet and welcoming. We had a great time and would definitely recommend!”
“My favorite pizza in town love the decor always feel relaxed with great music and amazing drinks. Pardon my French is my go to with a pizza margherita. No matter what you order it’s all delicious definitely recommend.”
“McGarry's Irish Pub is a favorite of ours because of the wonderful service the staff, management, and security provide. The bartenders are very skilled in the profession. It is a very comfortable and clean pub.”
“Everything is very delicious and the service and waitresses are very friendly 😋💗”
“This may have just became my favorite taco spot!! Met with smiles at the window, I had questions beyond my Spanish capabilities and the lovely woman’s english, yet the cook/owner/ man behind the counter was so descriptive and patient. Tuesday had tacos for a Buck!! So I ordered some carne asada and el pastor. I also needed to try the rice and beans, they tell a lot about a business. We added two canned Pepsis and for under $15 fed both of us well. The asada tacos were perfection!! Melt in your mouth perfection, the produce was fresh, the salsa was dynamite, and I could have put down a dozen. El Pastor was delicious only dimmed by the excellence of the asada. Then the tell all… the rice and beans l… they were done by a perfectionist taught by a grandmother, or Abuela in this case. Whole pinto “pot” beans were seasoned to perfection and the rice was what I’ve been searching for since my favorite restaurant closed a few years back. If you haven’t tried this truck, Do It! After hearing the love coming from the cook as he described what things were, I’m coming back, going back, may never leave. There’s so much more I need to experience. I’ll keep you posted. Good no no, I take that back, excellent food!! Great prices! Lovely customer service!! Don’t miss out!!”
“We had dinner there last night, one of the best fillets I’ve had in quite some time, lobster was excellent, service, off the charts. That folks is why we keep coming back!!!”
“I recently tried the Amritsari Kulcha here and was genuinely impressed. The stuffing was rich the crunch was perfect and the flavours were truly authentic. Excellent service and a must-try for anyone craving real Punjabi taste!”
“I went with my family of 11 yesterday and we had a great time we had the tempura roll and the mar y tierra roll the aguachiles and shrimp ceviche and every was pretty good like margaritas and micheladas were delicious too and my little liked the chicken tender and fries it is pricey so be prepared to pay the good stuff our waiter was amazing didn’t get his name but he talked Spanish and that’s always a plus”
“I tell people that I went from milk to Mexicali, Chinese and Basque. All three of the restaurants have been here well over 50 years and still going! Thanks for the memories.”
“The michelada VASO they sell is off the hook! They have a delicious lemonade and most recently got some horchata, all amazing!! Panda Gordo is the place to go..”
“It was really good , but won't be going back just to support a dear friend that was let go by them. My friend is an amazing chef with great talent in cooking and I hope I have support from other's as well. Who ever hires him next will have an amazing person but a great chef.”

“Great service, extremely friendly, and the food was top notch. It took a little while for the food but the small wait was well worth it for the quality and price. Waitress asked if we needed anything often and she said on point. Will definitely be back.”
“Came in to the stockdale location and was greeted by Cameron and had a truly great experience just waiting for what was a super awesome great event quality pizza!!! Paige and Faith were also great and super friendly and professional and just went out of their way to say hello to me and even make some small talk while I was waiting what I thought was a very short amount of time compared to every other place in town….food was outstanding and wow just an all around great experience! Great local business and even better employees! Tony’s has my business 100% moving forward!”
“Great filet mignon — I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked exactly as expected, very delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The presentation of the plate was a bit plain, but the meat was excellent. Unfortunately, the fries were not fresh and not very good, so I didn’t eat them.
Overall still a good experience, but considering the price, the sides could be better. 4 stars”
“I have been coming to this location for many years, and have always received pretty decent service, but the last time we visited, they were extremely busy, and regardless of how busy they were, we received some of the most impeccable service I've ever seen at a restaurant!
I feel bad that I can't remember our server's name, but we made sure to talk to a Manager on our way out.
He was quick on his feet, checked in on us frequently, went out of his way to make sure that the birthday we were celebrating didn't go unnoticed, and had an infectiously cheerful vibe.
I seriously can't imagine a single thing he could have done differently that would have enhanced the experience any further!
If all servers took lessons from him, I would probably go broke pretty quickly!
Needless to say, I'll be looking for him next time we visit.
If anyone knows his name, PLEASE let me know. I would like to acknowledge him by name on here to give him the accolades he deserves!”

“extremely poor service. my boys were at a birthday party and it took an hour just to get drinks, at that they warm bottled drinks. then it took another hour or longer to get food. no one ever walked up to them for 45 min. and was not even a busy night not very many other customers their. never came back to refill. the drinks. extremely unacceptable service. it is sad when you can get better service and food from a food truck than an actual restaurant. not sure where to leave star rating but it would be -⭐”

“I had such a wonderful experience with La Michoacana Plus Ice Cream Parlor. From the moment I reached out, the team was friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to help. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled quickly and efficiently. It's rare to find a business that truly cares about its customers the way Michoacana Plus Ice Cream Parlor does.”

“We had an incredible family lunch today at Jun BBQ, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The moment we walked in, the place was buzzing with energy. A consistent flow of hungry diners, a true sign of how loved this spot is.
The Chinese cuisine was absolutely delicious, and the dim sum was nothing short of superb. Every bite was rich with flavor and perfectly prepared. The service was top-tier, attentive without being overbearing, and it elevated the entire experience.
Overall, Jun BBQ delivered a memorable dining experience we won’t soon forget. We’re already looking forward to coming back and indulging in those amazing flavors again soon.
Price point was spot on and worth every penny.”
“Stopped into Rooster’s Cantina and let’s just say… The nachos disappeared faster than we’d like to admit and the burger absolutely hit the spot.
Huge shoutout to our server, Brooklyn, who brought great energy to the table. Friendly, fun, and the kind of service that makes a place feel like your new go-to spot. Great drinks, tasty bites, and a comfortable vibe. We’ll definitely be back!”
“We came to Seoul Shikdang to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and the experience went way above and beyond anything we expected.
First off, the staff was incredible. I brought a cake with us, and they were generous enough to store it in the back kitchen. When it was time to sing happy birthday, they surprised us by bringing the cake out with a candle, plates, forks, and even a knife to cut it. On top of that, they joined in singing happy birthday with us. It was such a thoughtful, kind gesture—something they absolutely didn’t have to do, but chose to anyway. That alone made the night unforgettable.
Now the food 🔥
• Bulgogi Hot Stone – absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor
• Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib (with added cheese) – hands down the best item on the menu
• Sweet & Spicy Gangjung Wings – crunchy, saucy, and packed with amazing flavor
• Marinated Dumplings – solid and flavorful
• Pork Curry Katsu – comforting, crispy, and satisfying
Between the incredible food, warm hospitality, and the genuine care they showed during our celebration, Seoul Shikdang truly stood out. Highly recommend for birthdays, special occasions, or honestly just a great Korean meal. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Came here for first time for a baby shower. Was definitely a cool place. The bartender was friendly and set me up with a binch of delicious beers. The back room was nice, had lots of tvs with all the football games. Also a few arcade games. Not sure if the pizza we ate came from here, but if it did it was really good too. Definitely will be back again, they are less then 5 minutes from my house.
Update,
Came here for a Flatspots show, had a great time, had some good beers for the show. Definitely recommend this place”
