“If you're just looking to get your fill this hole in the wall Mongolian place is a great way to do that. The prices are reasonable and they will give you a refill for your soda. The one item I missed out on the last couple times was the soft serve machine. Dinner and lunch are priced different and its all you can eat for dinner, they offer to-go prices as well. The cooks who whip together your noodle bowl really appreciate the tips. Not the nicest place but its all about getting full here.“

“🥪🔥 Big Boss Cafe = sandwich heaven 🔥🥪

This spot seriously delivered… if you’re a sandwich person, you NEED to try this place 🤤

I ordered the Black Cadillac and wow… one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a while 🙌 It’s loaded with tri-tip, black garlic butter, sweet balsamic glaze, lettuce, tomato, white onion, and parmesan cheese and every bite was packed with flavor. You can tell the meat is smoked for a long time because it’s super tender and has that deep, rich, smoky taste 😮‍🔥

That said, the meat definitely carried the sandwich. I almost wish there were a bit more toppings to balance it out, like extra balsamic glaze or more lettuce and tomato. But if their goal is to really highlight the meat, then they nailed it 👏

Also got the mac and cheese on the side and this was not your average mac… it had pieces of brisket mixed in which made it even better 🧀 The flavor was so good and really complemented the sandwich

I will say, the wait was a little longer than expected for the size of the line, but honestly… completely worth it once you get your food 👏

Overall, such a solid spot for high-quality, flavorful sandwiches. Definitely coming back for this one 🥪💯“

“The good amazing as well as the staff and service. I'm not sure if this is home cooked meals but holy cow did it taste like it. The complementary sweet tea is ridiculously good and addicting they should bottle and sell it so I can drink it everyday.“

“My nephew's fiance, K, had her bridal shower at Back forty Roseville. Galina and her crew were amazing! They were on top of everything, so nice and the food was fantastic. They helped make the event a huge success and K was very happy woth it. We definitely recommend and will be back.“

“Had the tri-tip sandwiches and they were outstanding. First time at this location during the weekday lunch rush and had our meal in only 10 minutes. Great service !“

“I had been craving barbecue for weeks. I had to go to Roseville for an errand , while driving around hungry I saw a dickies and decided to pull in. I meet the nicest people I had the best brisket sandwich I’ve had in years and the freshest crunchiest coleslaw. I walked out there one happy camper. Can’t wait to return.“

“such a fun and friendly bar. karaoke is so fun on Wednesday night! yummy food too!“

“5 stars. They were very kind and patient and made a Smaller version of the combination plates for my daughter! Thank you to the Chef, will come here again! You should too :)“

“We had a 33rd birthday party for our son, his band and groupies, party of 11. The mgt Kien/Kenny was very accommodating with our reservation, running a slide show in our private room and the lobby while our guests arrived. The seafood pancakes, desert, and spinning the prize wheel were unexpected treats. Some may think it's pricey but when I consider that for the price I would pay for a basic Rib Eye dinner elsewhere, I can have as much Rib Eye, as well as a variety of other meats, chicken, shrimp, sides as I can possibly eat, it's very reasonable. Most of our group were 1st timers, so the cultural experience of new foods, cooking at your table the way you like, made for a unique experience. Our group of 20 something yr old punk rockers had a lot of fun, the service and food were excellent. We'll be back...ps. call ahead to gauge the crowd and bring an appetite.“

“Pita Market & Restaurant is an amazing place! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and provide great customer service. The market side also has a nice variety of quality products you won’t find everywhere. Clean environment, great prices, and a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great Mediterranean food!“

“❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered the Family Meal from O’Connor’s to sample a bit of everything—1/2 lb Tri-Tip and Brisket, two half chickens, garlic mashed potatoes, tri-tip chili, garlic bread, and BBQ sauce—and everything was fantastic! The chicken had a flavorful dry rub, and the skin was perfectly crispy while the meat stayed incredibly juicy. The tri-tip was tender and packed with flavor, and the brisket had a rich, smoky taste that hit all the right notes. But the surprise standout? The tri-tip chili—absolutely outstanding! The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, and that loaf of garlic bread didn’t stand a chance once we got started. Add in friendly, helpful service, and you've got a 5-star experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Truly enjoyed the food delicious“

“Excellent BBQ and service. Can't wait to go back.“

“Sonora location. Tried when first opened and few weeks ago. It was clean (new) and great service. Re-visited yesterday and totally the opposite! Counter was dirty, all food was low. It was 4 o’clock and not busy. The cook, other gentleman and waitress was very unprofessional and unsanitary! The cook, yes while wearing gloves, continued to touch dirty services and our food. At one point he had his cell phone in his hand looking at it while cooking our food. Phone back in dirty pocket, touching his hair then back to cooking our food! The conversation between the three of them were load and unprofessional. I was so ready to leave! Definitely won’t be returning anytime soon.“

“Long wait but the food was good.“

“Always great staff and consistent good eats here. I love that they also have cookies and beverages from "back home".“

“I was there last week and there was a girl named Lorena that helped me, the food was great but the customer service was top tier she gave amazing recommendations and food was awsome. Shrimp burgers are delicious. Ill for sure be going back because of her. Highly recommend L&L“

“OMG! 1st time here. had to wait a bit for fresh, delicious food. service was great , food is OMG so good, the Mac salad just yummy. went today around 6pm, staff was friendly and attentive, even when customer/ pick up person was super RUDE because fresh beef had to cook, with his food workers and woman are below be attitude, Sonya I think her name was handled herself well and continued to work along with co workers to get orders out, food fresh. Will be back“

“Only took a star off cause they didn't give us plasticware. Not a huge deal, but kind of important 😅

Edit: Meant to add on, the food was sooooooooo gooooooood!! Loved the mac salad, and the bbq meat I ordered was delicious, especially the beef!! 🤤🤤🤤 Masubi was good too, though I agree with other reviewers that the spam was pretty thin compared to other hawaiin bbq places. Still, it tasted very good! Will definitely come back.“

“Food was good, I overall enjoyed the experience and will come back but one thing to mention is that the floors where you get your food are messy and so are the counters, not very sanitary. Service very friendly, good atmosphere, very busy during the rush.“
