“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!!!“

“Very nice place, good food and service 😊“

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

“So I live in Oregon and I came down here to pursue a relationship with the best woman ive ever met and this place absolutely sold it for me! The food was amazing the server was funny and so helpful and friendly he made my night there so easy. And for the chefs? They cook on a different level. Ive never had a flat iron steak taste THAT soft and that perfect ever in my life. And this was after not being able to order the chicken cordon Bleu that made me sad but it was completely changed by the steak! Not to mention the amazing artichoke dip, mojito drink, and to top it off the BEST creme brulee ive ever had!“

“Good food, good atmosphere Friendly staff“

“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+++++++++++++“

“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“

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

“I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. Home style potatoes were good. The eggs and CFS had great flavor. The gravy, while tasty, was thin and had small round cuts of sausage instead ground sausage mixed it.
Bloody Mary was spot on.“

“I've been here twice. Reuben with onion straws was a hit. Had a Denver Omelet, added cheese cause it doesn't come with cheese. It was good. Biscuits and gravy was so/so. Service was good and friendly. Pecan pie was also good. Portion sizes excellent. Menu not overwhelming, with good variety. Not the warmest environment, but very clean. Counter dining available. Prices not outrageous, but not cheap either. Will return to try something new because I felt welcome.“

“Great little place to unwind“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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...“

“My partner and I came here for her birthday . I had the New York steak , it came with broccolini and
Mash potatoes . It was soooooooo delicious . I like my meat medium rare and it was cooked to PERFECTION . My girl got the Tequila Cream Shrimp Pasta and that was soooo good . Since it was Tuesday we got $8 Margaritas. So worth it . I would“

“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“

“Had the best time here last night enjoying live music! Our server was Lauren and she was simply outstanding! There was a gentleman too that served our larger group and they raved about him and their food as well. I didn’t get any food pics though.🤦🏾‍♀️ We had a large party at a few tables and she never missed a beat! 🥰 Patient and friendly the entire night. I had the impossible burger and it was perfect! The waffle fries were seasoned so well. I enjoyed a bottle of red wine with my meal, but I can’t wait to go back and experience the craft cocktails and brunch! Definitely a new favorite spot! ❤️🥂“

“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 !!“

“Course is in great Shape staff very friendly“

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

“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!“
