“This place is absolutely delicious! My wife I recently moved to Yucaipa and the Haus Bistro is about 3 minutes down the street from us. We had a spontaneous date night and walked in around 6pm on Saturday and the place wasnt busy at all. The beers they have here are totally unique and great tasting too. They also have a sugar spice rim that goes great with the Golden Monkey Ale and the Chai Cider Ale. We started with with Mac Balls and Portobello Fries, which could be a meal in itself, and I had the Cattlemen burger which was so juicy and flavorful and the wife had the smoothered chicken special with cheesy polenta. Everything was perfect and packed full of flavor. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Very chill vibe and great music. Highly recommend the Haus Bistro for a nice and chill date night or family dinner.“

“We just came from having breakfast at the Kafe Royale. We have been coming here for many years. Everything was ok but we had the most nasty waitress. From when we were seated, she had the worst attitude. Very lazy stout woman, very flippant. I never post reviews, but, I was so upset. Maybe management will go through the reviews. Although she was not wearing a name tag. She was a large heavyset woman with her hair in a bun, her station was on the left side as soon as you walk in. My husband and I both have trouble walking and use canes. We have always given the waitress our bill to bring up for payment. This time after giving her our bill as she returned to the register she said loud enough for us to hear" Well you always have the option to pay your bill yourself" I felt so embarrassed . I did however, tell her I thought that was very rude.“

“There’s a waiter called Danny, and he’s definitely the definition of amazing customer service. I sure hope he gets a raise, and for anyone else who gets him as a waiter you’ll see why it’s easy to leave him a generous tip 🙂‍↕“

“Great food and great service at the Highland restaurant“

“Fantastic food and service“

“Great selection of local brews and drinks. We had the Strawberry Cadillac, the Margarita flight, the seasonal sour and the maple brew and the end of the board. We also tried the carnitas nachos and the garlic Parmesan wings. Both delicious 😋😋 We sat at the bar top, but they have a big dining area and patio seating as well. For the 6 things we had it came out to a little less than $100. Great spot to go to on the outside of downtown“

“OUTSTANDING!! Love everything about this place! I attended a dinner show "Finnegan's Wake" and the actors/ musicians/servers were just mindblowing! Such talented young people♥️ I've been to Ireland 5 times and these talented musicians and singers were better than anything I've heard on the emerald isle ☘

“Flo’s is the best and the staff are amazing!! We’ve been going here for years and is our favorite breakfast establishment by far!“

“This was not a planned outing my husband and I sometimes choose places to eat randomly I saw that this place was close to home so we went to check it out and I'd have to say we were pleasantly pleased the BBQ pulled pork sandwich was served on a brioche bread which was just fabulous my husband enjoyed the BBQ chicken sandwich we shared a small side of potatoe salad it is small but the sandwiches were filling and the pulled pork meat portion was very generous and filling so had the size been larger we may not have finished it we were very happy with our choice that Sunday afternoon and we also had a live band singing while we ate they were great vocalist and some of the songs brought back some childhood memories very nostalgic. 😊👍“

“Wonderful staff and management! Although I go in to the restaurant, I called and let them know an item wasn't on their online menu and they added it right then and there. Excellent service in house and even when you're ordering for delivery or pickup. The food is great, even with delivery.“

“I had breakfast at Hills. I got the veggie omelet with hash browns and biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious! The eggs and vegetables tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. The biscuits and gravy was wonderful as well, very flavorful and the biscuits were moist. The service was friendly and kind. Excellent experience.“

“One of our favorite! Chili verde is the best around!!!“

“Noami and Lauren gave me the best service I’ve ever had from a restaurant I highly recommend those two for your best experience here! A+++++++++++++“

“I just started working there! all the food is AMAZING! and I work with the best caring staff!! anywhere I have ever worked ❤🙏“

“I really did not want to like this establishment. We lived in Redlands for more than ten years and never once visited until this past Sunday. Tartan of Redlands just never stood out. The only reason why we are here was because someone else chose this location.

The inside was really dark—perfect if someone needs to have a good cry or a bad hair day. The tables were dimly lit with one candle per table. The waitress was friendly and helped us with waters and making recommendations for food options. So far, the impression was lackluster.

While the everything was greatly overcharged, the food actually made up for it. We ordered a porterhouse steak, medium-rare and opted for two sides (French fries and vegetables) rather than the house soup. A good measure of a restaurant is whether or not they can cook to the requested temperature. The medium-rare was in fact a medium-rare—juicy, tender with a warm pink center. An even better measure of a restaurant is how they prepare their vegetables. The porterhouse came with asparagus and carrots that were roasted and seasoned with sweet caramelization and crispy exterior.

I definitely want to come back in a Saturday to try their prime rib.“

“Good food, good atmosphere Friendly staff“

“Very nice place, good food and service 😊“

“Top-rated teriyaki establishment in the city“

“Garlic fries were absolutely amazing! The sourdough burger tasted gourmet and had that delicious homemade quality you hope for. The ribs were tender and flavorful, and the mango ceviche was fresh and perfectly balanced.

We're so glad we stopped in while passing through! Stephanie provided outstanding service and made our experience even better.

For a bar, the food was surprisingly scratch-kitchen quality—fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and far beyond what we expected. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area again!“

“Great service and hospitality , I love this place and Richard is always an amazing host to me and my friends“

“This place is very unique in many ways. To find out, one should pay a visit. Youll notice lots of good things happening here, reception, Service, food and attention.

If you are lucky, you'd be taken care of by Anyssa who is the most courteous and attentive staff here. You will be dazzled by the most routin services personalized and catered to you and your guests.“

“Great customer service, amazing food and warm inviting atmosphere! Highly recommended!“

“We came for breakfast and the server was quick on her feet, easily agreed to compromises on my dish and made sure we got our food in a timely manner. The food itself was hot, abundant and absolutely delicious. We both got generous portions of everything we ordered an all was consistently delicious. Even the biscuits and gravy were phenomenal and fresh. We will definitely be returning!“

“We stopped in today and the food was great! The service was stellar! We we unaware of such a great lil German place. We will definitely be going back. Thank you Gina for the recommendations and great service!“

“This place is a well oiled machine. Went during peak period and was sat in just 10 mins. Server was very nice and efficient. We got our appetizers BEFORE we even finished placing our order. I was amazed with the service. Thank you so much for the masterclass.“

“First time here. Love the building, how everything is set up western is pretty bad ass. The service here was great, very attentive waitress and bartender. The food was good,not disappointed. I also tried a breakfast shot 10/10 highly recommend & we got champagne as well... it was okay. I ate the country fried steak with potatoes and biscuits & gravy, 9/10. Pretty good visit over all, I'd love to come back for BBQ!“

“Good food and decent prices. The cafe serves a variety of food every day—from burgers, pizza, pasta, soups, sandwiches to Mongolian grill, Pad Thai, etc. Everything is freshly made and you get to decide exactly what goes into your meal. The picture I have attached is from a pasta bar they had for lunch. I was able to ask for as many vegetables as I wanted and even add two types of meat without any extra charge.“

“Great little place to unwind“

“Dickeys Barbecue Pit Restaurant located in Yucaipa California is a great place to get your favorite smoked chicken,beef,pork,ribs and more! They smoke their meats on premises and the portions are very generous! We had the brisket sandwich with onions,pickles all on a fresh steamy bun! Super fresh and tasty! The serve yourself soft serve ice cream really finished a great barbeque meal!“

“Muy buen servicio y muy rica la comida.“

“🙂👍 Anthony and the entire staff do a great job!“

“Chilis food & drink is pretty reliable with prices that match, especially these days. This review though is for the service my son and I received this evening on 7/24. First, we were greeted and seated happily and with a big smile from a very sweet hostess (I unfortunately didn't get her name, but I believe she had red hair and super fun make up!!). We then were sat in Robin's section - she announced herself and got drink orders immediately. She remained upbeat and on top of our table as well as her entire section the entire time. She was so fun, kind, and just had a great personality the whole time - you could see she was probably busy but she never let anyone feel left out, rushed, or forgotten!! I really appreciated Eli too! He helped Robin, and other servers, I'm sure too. He brought items out quickly and was extremely personable! He had a great attitude and you could just tell he's a hard worker! He had us laughing and smiling along with him all through dinner! Lastly, I want to highlight Steven, the manager. Most times you see management out when somethings wrong. Completely opposite with Steven - he was bussing & cleaning tables, running food, and helping out everywhere on the floor. He lead by example the entire time! I really applaud that and can't thank them enough for tonight. It's pretty expensive to dine out most places, but I would happily spend my money here for the same experience with my son tonight - its the simple things that make a difference and tonight proves that, all thanks to Robin, Eli, & Steven!“

“The food is absolutely delicious. Definitely worth it.“

“The service is great very kind and well spoken crew in my opinion they have the best tea in town the food was good however the size of the strips I got for my meal could have been some what Bigger that's just me saying however I'm grateful and can't complain the atmosphere is comfortable and not to loud...“

“Zach was our waiter and he was great! He was kind and treated us like royalty! He was so busy but kept a professional attitude! He is a hard worker and was back and forth and they were short staffed but he kept his great demeanor. I would recommend him as a great waiter to anyone. I think it’s sad that they don’t have enough staff and then leave it in the staff to hold up the business“

“Came here for brunch/lunch on a Sunday around 11. Ordered the steak and eggs with the Smoking Monk cocktail. The steak was cooked perfectly, the eggs were great and the included toast was buttered and well made. Didn't need to add anything to the dish in my opinion to enhance it. The drink was also really well made. It's in the adventurous section and I will absolutely be ordering again.

The service was really nice as well. Very welcoming and attentive. My only minor complaint was the seating, 1 person gets a bench seat and the other gets a hard chair with their back to a busy walkway. Staff and guests constantly walking pretty close behind you unless you get lucky and are seated somewhere else with a different orientation.

I would 100% recommend this restaurant and I will be back very soon to try new items.“

“very nice! food and service was great!“

“The manager Brittany was so warm and welcoming! She was out on the floor, checking on everyone, getting refills, people’s orders, and cleaning up plates and cups! She’s one of the only mangers I’ve ever seen out on the floor helping when I visit ! My boyfriend had some questions because we just found out I’m pregnant, and he was being cautious and she made him feel like his questions weren’t dumb and she reassured us !!“

“Cranking’ club vibe! Loud music. Sticky dance floor. You know, the hip spot.“

“Course is in great Shape staff very friendly“

“Had an impromptu family lunch meet up and chose this Coco's since all the ones close to us have been closed. The second we walked in we found the nicest, kind and most positive staff. The location is clean and well kept. The food was really good and the service even better. Definitely need to try the Loaded Browns Benedict. It's their fully loaded hashbrowns with eggs benedict on top. We had more than enough food for sure. Nancy was really attentive and gave exceptional service. Thank you for the great experience!“
