“Good food and service, ambiance a bit sterile, could be warmer with for instance some background music like the standards (Sinatra, Holliday, Martin, Bennett). When we first arrived the restaurant had only a few guests and the room was too quiet, like a library and felt a bit awkward.“

“Stacey and Simon know their beers.“

“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.“

“Impeccable service, food perfection. Even the simplest ingredients, masterfully combined, make for fantastic bites! The Avocado Bruschetta is a perfect example of that. And it’s unlike any other. Simply delicious. The chicken sliders are a tradition for a reason: the house made biscuit is a revelation, and it isn’t everyone who can match that baked flaky goodness with the perfectly fried chicken. Unbelievable. I’ll be back again for that. The spicy shrimp had the perfect combo of heat/spice and sweet curry flavors. And I love the wine list!!“

“Visited Crush'd for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere was great and you can tell the everything is well thought out, from the decor to the tableware.

We both went with a wine flight and had excellent recommendations from Jamie. Decided to splurge on the sturgeon caviar and it was served with the perfect accoutrement, highlight of the evening. Our server Shane recommended the duck fat potatoes (the Aioli was mindblowing) and Wagyu Tartine, both were fantastic!

Cannot wait to go back, 11 out of 10!“

“A little pricy, but worth it. Fried chicken sandwich was very fresh and flavorful. Pairing of sauce and cheese smacks. Caesar salad I had had the freshest croutons.

Parking: Shared lot with other plaza tenants totaling 50 spaces or so.

Wheelchair accessibility: No close wheelchair ramp“

“Beautiful location and good food. Chicken pesto sandwich is very tasty and filling. Avocado toast was good too. Pomegranate iced tea was just fine.
Great views pf the golf course. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good.
Only complaint- they included 20% service charge for breakfast for two people in the bill. It was not mentioned anywhere and felt unfair. Otherwise its all good.“

“Family atmosphere with great service and fantastic food. My mother introduced me to this place when visiting home. I would look no further when it comes to home cooking.

Parking: Very few parking spots available but street parking ok. Church right across street.“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“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 😋👍❤“

“They have good breakfast like the lumberjack slam which is my favorite.. I have been eating at Dennys since I was a kid and I love their food yummy..“

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

“Super relaxed place with insanely nice staff and delicious food and full coffee bar. I got the sunrise scramble with chicken and it was amazing by itself, but then I added the hotsauce they have made someone local, and it just elevated an already delicious dish. Caddy corner from San Leandro BART (right across from the Wendys) so super convenient for commuters if you know its there. Its tucked away so if youre not looking youll miss it. Its worth seeking out!“

“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.“

“Excellent entree (filo-wrapped chicken with orzo), caesar salad a bit heavy with dressing. Excellent service. Facility busy with tables too close together

Wheelchair accessibility: Might be a bit cramped for wheelchar mobility“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“In town for the weekend and this lovely spot was recommended by a good friend. He was not wrong. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere. Chelsea was my server and she rocked it. 100% recommend“

“I had to take my dog to the excellent vet across the street ( chabot veterinary).
So happy I stumbled upon this place. I got a very boring breakfast. Mind you that’s exactly what I wanted. Cooked to order. The dining room offers a view of the cook and kitchen. Staff were all super nice. The vibe is small town breakfast diner. The only thing missing is the proverbial counter. The breakfast burritos look real good. Next time!“

“The Diggery Inn is great. I love this breakfast and lunch spot. I have been coming here for 18 years. I always get one of their hearty scramble plates when I come for breakfast. They have great burgers here too. The meals are all good sized portions. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a family owned restaurant with Paula on the grill and Nary out front waiting on customers.They are great people and very friendly. I Highly recommend the Diggery Inn.“

“Great food, I especially liked the breakfast burrito (you eat it with a fork and knife). It's street parking right in front of it and we ate outside, which was a little muddy but not bad. Service was excellent, we were sat quickly and were attended to well outside.“

“This place is fire! I work right next to it and be seeing them get Hella customers, so I had to try it. steak and hot link hoagie with some extra sauce on the side had me full. Tried the wings today and they where just as good! You get a nice portion to for your money. Definitely a must try“

“I hardly ever leave reviews, nevertheless I couldn’t help but to notice I agreed with a lot if not most of the reviews. First and foremost it is a great local bar the atmosphere and the vibes are great. You always feel comfortable and welcome by anyone ever there. I do have to acknowledge, however that the service sometimes can be slow and sometimes it takes me a good 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while at the bar for a drink. I think this would be my only complaint. for some reason service sometimes for a drink can be a little slow. I must admit the bartenders here are some of the best. The cocktails are always tasty and delicious and I like the attitude they all greet me with every time I come. My favorite bartenders here happen to be JOSE and ERIC 👌🏾👌🏾“

“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!“

“Had a wide variety of foods on the menu. I personally thought that the appetizers for the most part were better than the main dishes. The desert was amazing!! One interesting menu item that was surprisingly good was the pear quesadilla. The staff was incredibly friendly as well. Least favorite food item here would be the chicken wings!“

“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.“

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

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

“Came here for the very first time for Mardi Gras and had the absolute BEST time! Well worth the drive from Martinez. Amazing vibe, awesome staff, delicious food, great drinks. I can see Norm’s Place quickly becoming a favorite spot. Thank you for the most fun I’ve ever had for Mardi Gras!“

“I had an absolutely delicious lunch here in the round house at 2600 Camino Ramon. My sandwich came with a huge delicious side salad and what seemed like homemade potato chips and a cookie! The ambience there is fabulous and I can’t imagine anything better for lunch in this area.“

“Love this pub for its food and drinks, be it for a quick pint or a large group event, like what we did last weekend for a special occasion! I had only been for quick visits before and had a great birthday party with ~20 guests in a private room.“

“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.“

“We met with friends at this place for lunch. we heard about this place from quite a few people. Well, it was a winning. The crew welcomed us with a smile and we had an excellent feeling. The meal was tasty. We enjoyed every moment and we will visit this place again. Highly recommended.“

“Clean, pleasant restaurant with old-fashioned decor, fairly-priced food, and good service.This is located inside Oakland Airport Executive Hotel. The full menu is available from opening to closing. There was only one person working to take orders, cook, and serve food and drinks. One person seemed to be enough though; it's not a popular place. There were only two customers when I visited this place in the evening, including myself. Everything on the menu sounded good, and the one other customer who was there was complimenting the food after every other bite, exclaiming that the eggs were just how he liked them and that the sandwich was perfect.I only wanted a little bit of food, because I had eaten before coming to this hotel. I ordered a side of fries to-go so that I could take it to my room. I was expecting a small container, but after five minutes of waiting, I received a full-size to-go box of fries that came with plenty of napkins and ketchup. My total was $6.62 including tax. The receipt said the fries were $6, but the menu said $5. I didn't bring it up because I got a large portion, but remember to check your receipt.This restaurant is the best part of this hotel, which isn't saying much, but I recommend checking this place out before you open a food delivery app, if you're staying at this hotel.

“Visited here a few times now, and have enjoyed my orders. I’ve gotten smoothies here (mango and strawberry), I’ve also had their milk tea. Both had been great.Food; I’ve ordered their combo plate for sweet and sour chicken, and their cheeseburgers.I personally like their cheeseburgers. Great taste and quality, I will say a bit on the smaller side. Otherwise nice place.“

“Wonderful customer service. Friendly and fast. This charming nostalgic diner caters to classic American comfort foods.“

“There food is delicious. Called my order in 25 min early and It just took five min to wrap and give me enough sauce to eat it with. I had snapper and catfish combo it was Smackin. Great food does take time. I like to get my food in 10-15 min but at least it's fresh. The restaurant didn't have many people dining in, they were stopping in to order and coming back to pick it up though. There deserts were amazing looking and the workers at Jjs were really nice and called me sweetheart.“

“The restaurant is really good too“

“muy buen servicio y el personal muy atento como trailero para en barios pero este es muy bueno“

“This place absolutely rocks. It’s exactly the kind of neighborhood spot you hope to find - super high quality food but with a totally casual vibe and excellent price point. Jerk Salmon was exceptional. Owner was hella nice too. So glad we found our new fav spot!“

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