“Service was exceptional and good was delicious!“

“I had called in my order the lady who took my order was very well spoken she repeated my order so they would get it correct. It was ready when I got there I recognized the lady's voice and ask her for the manger she told me she was the manager on duty. She asked me if there was something wrong with the order.I told I just wanted to let her boss know how pleasant she was talking to something about her voice . She said thank you and asked me if there was anything else she could do for me . I stop coming to this location because of the service but decided to give it another chance because I live so close. Joan made me change my mind about it so for the last 2 months I have been coming every week. Great employee. I only go in there when I know she is working.“

“An upscale breakfast/lunch or brunch location compared to a general cafe/diner. Service was exceptional and the was food very good too. The real knock about this place has to do with acoustics and how the noise travels. It's so bad, when there's a lot of people in the restaurant, it's difficult to have a conversation with a person sitting directly across from you. Maybe sitting outside might be a better option.“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“Originally, I thought this place was another establishment due to seeing “the melt” on doordash, only to find out it was actually Dennys. I am so glad that wasn’t the case.

I drove by and saw the storefront and had to give it a try. From the moment I walked to the front door, I smelled an awesome aroma. The place was clean, decor was nice and staff were friendly.

The food itself was AWESOME. Generous portions. The burger itself is almost like what you’d see in commercials. The garlic parm fries were super tasty, and not over seasoned. BBQ bacon burger was juicy, and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back. I spent about 30 bucks, but I also got a double instead of a single. To the CEO or Franchisee, awesome job!“

“I absolutely love this Denny's out of all of the other Denny's. they always go above and beyond. they have excellent staff. Cynthia is the absolute best there is no other like her thank you for everything you always do and going above and beyond in your job I appreciate you so much.“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“Loved our experience but the only negative is it gets loud and I found myself talking loud. Given that the tables are so close to each other, I think everyone talks louder to be heard. Everything else was amazing and I'd still tell everyone to go. :)“

“What a great find! I asked Google for steak and the Manor Grill popped up first. The food was excellent. Angie was an awesome attentive server. I wish I had a cozy home cooking restaurant like this where I live. You will not be disappointed. Parking is a little slim so you may have to circle the block to find a place but it will be worth it.“

“I LOVE PIES & was HAPPY to find out out about this place! I tried 4 of them: Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Artichoke Pesto, German Beef & Mushroom, & All American Chicken. Thumbs Up to the Perfect Crust & Flavorful stew Fillings. Look fwd to trying many more 😋👍❤“

“Mission Hills Cafe is absolutely fantastic. My husband has been eating here for years & I became a regular maybe a year ago & I don’t know what took me so long. The food is phenomenal & the portions are nice. Hector & Sonia make you feel like family and they give the best service. The vibe is beyond comfortable and relaxing. Drinks are also AMAZING! The food is delicious and I love the tacos :-) I highly recommend.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. We had the quesadilla and artichoke as appetizers 2 of us had the short ribs, one had the salmon, and one had the lamb shank. For dessert we had the pear tarte and the creme brulee. We were all extremely pleased with everything. The service was a little slow as far as taking our order and our waiter could have been a bit more attentive, but we will definitely be back!“

“If your looking for a great place to hang out for Taco Tuesdays this is the place.The Restaurant also has fabulous food and great atmosphere for dining in a wonderful environment with great music In or outdoors.
I really have enjoyed both plus people at the Bar are friendly and staff are excellent servers.“

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.“

“Great local eatery with delicious beers and wonderful taps. Joe, the owner, is one of the most sweetest guys you’ll ever meet. Highly recommend!“

“we love the vibe, service and menu at GLK on Grand and have been going there for years. On our last visit we were surprised by how salty the food was. I think the cooks are overly generous with salt. Both our brussel sprouts and the scallops were really over salted. Next visit we will be sure to order low/no salt, and send back anything that's too salty.“

“Been on road trip from Texas for a week definitely the best we’ve had so far. Fantastic food and service.“

“The mushroom steak hoagie with onion is my favorite. The steak was seasoned and cooked well.“

“chicken fried steak eggs over easy hash browns and biscuits going to try their omelette next“

“Excelente atención como en familia y muy rica la comida 👍“

“Absolutely love everything we have tried here! Friendly staff and always super clean! Always leave full, satisfied, and happy.“

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.“

“Does not appear to be what I expected after finding them on Yelp. Just didn’t seem to be what I had pictured in my mind. Nonetheless, food came out quickly and it was hot and tasty.“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

“My fiancé & I decided to try something new on a random Saturday morning. We were pleasantly surprised to find Katy’s Korner was clearly a staple of the community & for good reason. The food was top notch, the service was exceptional. The quality of kindness in each & every employee we interacted with was just what we were looking for. I highly recommend this place.“

“One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. The Diggery Inn has everything you need for an amazing meal at a reasonable price.

These hard working lady's provide a comfortable, inviting and friendly place to recharge and relax and refuel.

Doug's Signature was my latest find on the menu. It includes Two Poached Eggs and Chorizo on Toast or English Muffin.
Matt says check this place out!“

“Stumbled across this spot one Sunday afternoon after church. I purchased the crab egg rolls, side of fries, OG lemon pepper party wings, and a green apple lemonade drink. Usually I eat my fries first but babbby when I bit into that crab egg roll it had me humming and dancing in my seat. The crab was so fresh, seasoned to perfection, and the crisp of the egg roll was a win win for the tastebuds! My homegirl ordered the crab bowl and I tasted a little bit and was sold! Service was great the atmosphere was cool too! Definitely will be back! Oh and I was hecka hungry so I didn’t take any photos.“

“Came here to celebrate this summer and had Nick as our server, returned tonight and asked for him again! He’s absolutely the best 👍🏻 great food, great location and fantastic service, just ask for Nick!“

“Francisco helped me out today. He went above and beyond with his 5-star gold service. I called in after hours asking for help and he stayed to offer me support with the kindest voice and warm energy. I’ve had the fish and chips which are amazing (I have high standards for this dish). French onion soup is on pointe and the clam chowder is pure comfort food. The mandarin chicken salad is refreshing too. Will come back for the yummy food and impeccable service!“

“From the minute I walked through the door I was greeted by Tina Rhae with a big smile. There were a lot of great items to choose from and specials. I got a hibiscus iced tea and the linguisa sandwich. They were both delicious! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables so there was room to move around if you have a wheelchair. A perfect spot for large groups of people too.“

“Oh my!!!. One of the best Bacon Cheeseburgers myself has had in a long while!. Love this Emil's Burger & Breakfast!!!. GO!!! JALAPENOS!!!.“

“We just had breakfast at the Cozy Kitchen coffee shop - in a little stripmall at the corner of Washington & Bradick in San Leandro. It's a tiny classic diner, serving basic breakfasts at the most reasonable prices around. Been around forever, run by the same little couple (ever since our friend was a boy & ate here with his family). Husband cooks. Wife runs tables. Well-worn furnishings from decades of diners make it feel like a step back in time. It is the CLEANEST restaurant I've EVER been in - evidence of pride/care/lifelong work ethic. There's nothing fancy on the menu, but if you're looking for bacon & eggs on a budget around Oakland, CA - this is the place. Period. Come support these folks!“

“Tried this place yesterday at OTG: Fort Mason. After eating a bunch of other unsatisfying food I just wanted one chicken tender no sauce. Yes one chicken tender. There was a bit of a wait but I was so happy after eating.It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was well seasoned and had a nice crunch to it. The service was friendly and even they still offered me sauce during my pick up. They probably thought wth, but that is truly what I just wanted haha. Anyways try this place!“

“Great food!“

“This is a basic cafe inside Eastmont Town Center. Nothing too fancy, but if you want to support a local small business and the Center, this is better than the neighboring fast food options. I work at this site occasionally and like the coffee.“

“the best cheese steaks!! we live down the street from the Sunnyvale location. we eat there all the time. they never disappoint!! but I started eating at the SF location since 2008. still bomb“

“Hotel clean. I seen more housekeepers here then I have even seen at any hotels recently. Everyone was beyond helpful. The courtyard and pool area was clean, quiet, and safe. Fencing is around entire area of the hotel. Beds super comfy, great air conditioning.Only downfall was we traveled with a disabled adult and few times we noticed handicap parking was being used by someone that did not have a handicap permit in/on their car.“

“Good foods , server are friendly“
