This place has been around for over 25+ yrs??? How did I miss this wonderful upscale yet decently priced restaurant?? The staff was courteous and friendly.
This one was take out. I wanted what I had at the restaurant another earlier time. It was one of their new bowls. The Mediterranean Bowl is delicious! Had to go back and have it again!!

This charming spot has plenty of parking and a welcoming vibe. The food is inventive, filling, and absolutely delicious. The modern decor and quick, friendly service add to the experience. The cheesy tots are a must, and the burger, avocado toast, and chilaquiles are all fantastic choices.

Ordered to go for the office everyone was so happy with what they got. It will be our go to from now on! They were prompt when we picked up. Everything was so fresh and the people that work there so accommodating. Love this place.

We've been customers of Eat Chow since the restaurant opened. We had a couple of not so great meals lately so backed off. But the meals we had a few days ago was fantastic! Back to the quality we had enjoyed before. Looking forward to more of the same!

Eat Chow has been remodeled. I don’t know why they changed it. It was so much better before. I can’t go back. I know it’s dramatic, but it breaks my heart. So many things in life right now are scary and uncertain and coming into Eat Chow was comforting. It is no longer. I’m almost as sad as loosing The Barn. Iykyk.

It killed the ambiance on a Friday night, when young kids were screaming and running around the restaurant. I get Eat Chow is a family type local place, but you are not iHop or Chucky Cheese. I was having a lovely dinner with a friend but it was overshadowed by loud kids running around. I've been a patron of Eat Chow Since Day 1- I love it, but was disappointed last night in how the atmosphere has changed.
Food is good and the menu is far larger and more extensive than you would think for a small restaurant of this type. This is honestly a neighborhood gem. I have been there before and had the salads and never forgot how good they were. This latest trip I had the hot entre salmon with risoto and it was delicious. My guest had the tacos on th 1/2 price night. We loved the food. We did not think our server was great and it might be because she had too many tables to cover but she was not attentive and had to be asked 3 times just to bring sweetner for our ice tea. Took 15 min to take our order. Never came back to the table with a receipt. To her credit she did see that one entre was not correct and she snatched it and returned moments later from the kitchen with the correct preparation. We were impressed that she did that but figured it should never have been brought to table if she was on top of her game. The less than postive service level is not going to keep me from going back.
The service the food the ambience was incredible. I will be going back actually debated going back today the very next day because it was so good.
Was a bit disappointed they didn't have a kids lunch menu when we went to eat at 12pm, but it could have been a limited menu due to the holidays. Food was good and restaurant was not crowded.

I was so happy with every aspect of my lunch several months ago, I chose Eat Chow for my birthday celebration. I was not disappointed. The warm goat cheese and arugula salad was dressed perfectly and allowed me to indulge in their butter cake again.

We've been eating there since 2012 and we don't like the remodel at all. It's noisy and no longer a cozy neighborhood vibe.
The service was exceptional as was the food. We had fish tacos and a burger. Both delicious and arrived quickly. Would definitely come back
Always great food and service.
Three amigos is my favorite...
