“Finally, was able to try this location. Small dining-in area but most will take out anyway. I had the combo fried fish platter. It was fantastic, although the fish portion was a bit overcooked but it was still tasty. It also came w/fried oysters and fried prawns with the obligatory french fries side. I took off a star on the food part (for the overcooked fish - it was a sole/flounder-like fish that was probably more than dipped in the frying medium - but like I said, it was still tasty). I still gave a 5-star overall rating. All the rest of the fish was fried/cooked perfectly. They oysters were especially good. I think on my next visit, I'll get oyster platter. The french fries were excellent too but there were lots of them, I couldn't finish them all. They also have poke, sushi/sashimi and that will sampled on the upcoming returns. They're open every day at 11am. I will be back......“

“Just visit!! You won’t be disappointed“

“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.“

“Came in last Sunday for brunch- one of the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had! Washed it down with fresh squeezed orange juice, side of fresh fruit and out of this world coffee cake. Our server, Jorge was working the bar and gave us such amazing service. Best experience I’ve had at brunch in a long time!! Will be back! Told family and friends how delicious it was too!“

“It was our first time at The Melt, and Luis made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. He helped us choose what to try, and his recommendations were on point. The Meltburger was juicy and full of flavor, the Mac Daddy was crazy good, and the Three Cheese Classic tasted like real comfort food. Luis checked in on us, made sure everything came out hot, and you could tell he really cares about the guest experience. Because of him, our first visit turned into a new favorite spot.“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“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.“

“The atmosphere is fantastic and wonderful staff. I would recommend serving soft bread with your charcuterie board instead of hard bread crackers. Other than that the other food options are amazing. It was sad to see The Vine wine bar close down so Crush’d is my new wine bar going forward to enjoy with family and friends. Great wine options to choose from as well.“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“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.“

“I always order Country Breakfast. I am a snob when ordering my breakfast. Crispy hashbrown,crispy bacon,over easy eggs and dry sourdough. In my 10 plus years of placing my order. They have never ever failed my requests.Thank you to the owner and support staff.
I must mention the bar selections have excellent choices and the quality of drinks poured are well made and substantial.“

“This place is a staple in the Washington Manor area. I'd guess that the service is what people come for. They're always super nice and they're never so crowded that you get overlooked or forgotten. It's an old family/meeting spot for us around here so I fully support them.“

“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.“

“My experience at D.Monaghans on the hill was very good I must say! The brunch we had for mother's day was great!!! Oh my plate I had an omelette that you can build your own omelette menu I put all vegetables in my omelette with a side of turkey sausage any black cup of coffee also I had a bowl of shrimp and grits they were delicious so don't sleep on this place. Also my family enjoyed the food as much as I did even my grandson couldn't stop eating the great food. The dinner menu have a vast amount of great meals on it and there a great bar with good drinks and IPA!!!“

“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 food!“

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

“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.“

“The Diggery Inn looks like a modest cafe, but actually it is quite exceptional. The service was great, and our breakfast was perfect. In particular, the blueberry pancakes were superb. And as a final delight, at checkout, KitKat bars are a take-away gift! It's really a great find.“

“I absolutely love Fifth Wheel and have been going almost every Saturday for the past few years with my partner. It started when he moved to the area and we were looking for a new breakfast spot. The other spots just didn't hit the mark, but Fifth Wheel has been consistent. Everyone on staff is so nice and the restaurant is cozy. It's not too big inside, so you may be waiting, but it never takes too long during the peak times on Saturdays. Ordering to go is also a nice and quick option if you don't want to wait.“

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

“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!“

“I had Christmas Eve Dinner with a few friends. I ordered the spare ribs, which were excellent. I also loved the mashed potatoes and veggies. Please know that they are not traditional spare ribs. It seemed more like a big hunk of pot roast, but the seasonings were quite good. The service was very good overall. I would highly recommend.🩷“

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

“Zenti Bistro is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious and relaxing meal! The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, while the service was friendly and attentive. Everything came together for a really enjoyable dining experience. Definitely a great spot in San Leandro, and I’d happily come back again!“

“Pleasant & courteous greeting, Neat & clean tables, Quick table service & ordering, Good food, served hot“

“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!“

“We found this gem while visiting from the east coast. Every morning we were in town we would go to breakfast at Amy’s. When you find a good thing, stick with it! Food and service are top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“Chris that works there is awesome, food is good and they are accommodating“

“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“

“This place is as classic as it gets, they focus on the basics but have perfected it. Every time I've gone, the service is super friendly and attentive, and the food is exactly what you're craving. Prices are also super reasonable for the portion sizes. This is one of my favorite places and plan on going back regularly.“

“The Saucy Hut seafood rolls are hands down some of the best I've had! They're packed with seafood from end to end no skimping on the filling here. What I love most is that they use real crab instead of imitation crab, and you can absolutely taste the difference.
Every bite is fresh, flavorful, and loaded with quality ingredients. The seafood is perfectly seasoned, the rolls are cooked just right, and the sauces take everything to another level. It's clear they put a lot of care into their food.
If you're a seafood lover looking for a delicious, satisfying meal, The Saucy Hut is a must-try. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“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.“

“Had the brisket sandwhich based on a recommendation. Not bad. Fries and slaw good too. Glass of soda was huge. we'll eat it again, maybe try dinner.“
