“chilis was very very good tonight“

“I love BJ's! One of my favorite places to eat, makes me feel so nostalgic. I came here with my boyfriend today for Valentine's Day and we had the best time thanks to Bryan! The service was fast and he was also very communicative about our order and how soon it was coming out. I am very happy to have celebrated vday here!“

“This is the best Denny's because of the many memories I have when our family would eat here when it was a Lamppost Pizza. The layout is the same but of course the food is breakfast fodder. It's evolved with me because now I can't eat pizza and they change their omelet plate to make it a Vegan plate and now I can eat here again with my family.“

“1 be my not sin you: 2 sins not: an victory“

“Breakfast burritos were amazing!“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“Freddie, our server, was great. Food was served in timely manner, we had a great dining experience. Freddie noticed that we had a bday, he kindly asked my son’s name and a minute later came along with other co-workers with a bday brownie ice cream and sang to him. It was a nice gesture.“

“It was awesome that it was open late, very busy even then. Fun crowd, lively bar, and patrons. My vegetarian burger tasted so good, almost as if it was off the grill. The waitress was attentive and double-checked for food allergies before serving walnut pesto. Afterward, the bartender on duty broke a glass, and the room fell silent; then everyone laughed and cheered on! ?

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian red beet and quinoa burger was the bomb! Great texture and flavor.

Dietary restrictions: The waitress notified us about possible allergens in the food.“

“Went for breakfast during the week. It was surprisingly busy. Service was fast and relatively friendly. Food came out quickly. I didn't love the scrambled eggs, but I'm admittedly picky about them. The pancakes were pretty solid.

It has a distinctively retro vibe... 70s maybe? But not in a campy way. Just feels very old school. I wouldn't say it's on my favorites list, but I'd definitely go back.“

“Evening, dining with heaters, makes it nice and toasty and cozy and lovely♥️ brings on the appetite🥩🥔🍸🍺🍾🍴“

“Had a great breakfast Chicken fried steak and eggs,huge portion of hash browns ,toast We also had a Our server he was great Huge portions We will be back“

“Amazing Food, Unbeatable Prices, and Incredible Service!

Tom’s Chino is truly a hidden gem! Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the prices are unbelievably affordable. In a time when eating out can feel expensive, Tom’s offers high-quality meals without breaking the bank.

What really stood out to me, though, was the customer service. The staff is beyond friendly, making you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you walk in. They go above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience—without ever expecting a tip. That level of hospitality is rare these days, and it makes me wish more restaurants operated with the same kindness and integrity.

If you’re looking for a place with great food, amazing service, and prices that make you do a double-take (in a good way), Tom’s Chino is the place to go! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“We experienced a very wonderful time! Looking forward to return more often“

“Great food great company great service“

“Anyone that works the night shift is a special kind of champion. Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks, Earl! You're the best!“

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“My 8 yr old son's honest review: "At first glance, this may seem like an ordinary diner but it's so good that I almost inhaled my food and also it felt like Jesus touched me." My husband and I had the California omelette and the Cobb salad, both were excellent! Great service too! We'll definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: My son said the pancakes, french fries and chicken nuggets were awesome. He rated it better than McDonald's (which is now his old favorite)!“

“I've been getting bean and cheese burritos for a while now but Wednesday I ordered two bean and cheese burritos as usual with cilantro and onions and pico de gallo plus I decided I would try there breakfast burrito (sausage eggs and cheese). Bean and cheese burritos no cilantro no no onions and the sausage egg and cheese breakfast burrito was no egg no sausage but plenty of potatoes rolled up as a breakfast burrito but charged as a breakfast burrito. that had to be deliberately done. I don't know what I did to piss off cook but I got the message.“

“I have been going there for 50 + years. Me and the Wife for 30 years! We live in Las Vegas, Nv. I have been to every 5 star in Las Vegas for 45 years and Clearman's is still the best ever! The food, service and the service has not changed in all that time! I remember the Owner, was going to build a Clearman's in Green Valley, Henderson. When he passed away I asked his Son when is the New Clearman's was opening, he stated never, his Dad was wrong in thinking about opening it. I told him I live in Vegas, the Wife and I come just for the food then back to Vegas. I told him we tell all our Friends , Family and our work mates, ( Law Enforcement) , take photos of our food and the restaurant! Today my Son's Friend from Co. Ate for the first time took leftovers home with pictures he took! Still waiting for a NEW CLEARMAN'S in Nv. To happen! Please!“

“Tiana was an amazing server! Food was delicious and drinks were amazing.“

“First time there… the food was excellent and the service was great! Friendly and very helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“What a fun restaurant! The music was happy, upbeat and our Server Mario was very attentive. I had a patty melt and I have to admit that it was by far the best I have had in a long time. The sauce on the sandwich was a very pleasant surprise. The onion rings were fat and thick. The banana split was fresh and very tasty! This was my first visit and the next time I’m in town I’m definitely going back. Thank you Millie’s I’ll see you next time around!“

“Fun location with delicious entrees, salads, drinks and so much more!“

“Went in very late to study and received great service by the waiter Tano. Was checked on very often and was refilled on everything before we even had to ask. Definitely helped build a great atmosphere to help do homework as well which was appreciated.“

“This is an absolute gem in the heart of Covina! The moment you step in, you're welcomed by a warm and vibrant atmosphere that feels both upscale and cozy. The live music sets the perfect mood, making it a great spot for a date night or a fun evening out with friends.

The menu is a delightful mix if steak dishes.

Service is attentive and friendly, adding to
the overall relaxed yet lively vibe. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food, fantastic drinks, and a memorable dining.“

“In the kitchen, the boss had a "treat,"
But he thought he was safe from a greet.
When the waiter walked in,
With a wild, knowing grin,
Now the gossip is rich and complete!

The boss in the restaurant, bold,
Thought his secrets were safe to uphold.
But when someone came through,
He turned red, lost his view,
Now they jest about tales that aren’t told!

There once was a boss full of glee,
In the lavatory, feeling quite free.
But the chef walked right in,
Caught him in a spin,
Now they whisper, “What *else* could it be?”

The boss had a “break” in the loo,
With his thoughts and his fantasies, too.
Then a waiter came in,
To a sight that was grim,
Now the kitchen’s all buzzing with “who knew?”

In the office, the boss took a chance,
With his “me time” a curious dance.
But when he got caught,
With hot tension distraught,
Now they tease him with laughter and prance!

The boss thought his secrets were sly,
Till the door swung wide, and oh my!
With a gasp and a stammer,
He fought a bright glamour,
Now his tales are the talk of the fry!

In the lavatory, loud cries arose,
As the boss sat, he felt quite exposed.
With a slam of the door,
Came an employee’s roar,
“Didn’t think you’d be doing *that* pose!

What did the employee say when he walked in on his boss beating his meat?
“I didn’t realize we had a ‘hands-on management’ training session today!”

How did the boss react when he got caught in a compromising position?
“Well, that’s one way to keep ‘employee morale’ high!”

Why did the boss turn red when caught in the act?
“I thought this was a 'hands-on' approach to team building!”

What did the employee do after walking in on the boss?
“I quickly learned to knock twice and say, ‘I’m here for the meat meeting!’”

5. Why did the boss insist on using that room for “private meetings”?
“Who knew it would lead to a ‘beef’ between employees!”

6. How did the employee feel after accidentally catching his boss?
“Let’s just say, that’s one meeting I wish I could ‘unsee’!”

7. What did the boss say to the employee after getting caught?
“You're not supposed to ‘tender’ details like that!”

8. Why did HR get involved after the incident?
“Someone learned the hard way that there are better ways to ‘work out’ stress!”

9. What’s worse than walking in on your boss?
Walking in on your boss and discovering he was just trying to prep for ‘steak night’!

10. What did the employee say when he walked in on his boss?
“I think you misunderstood the phrase ‘the meat of the matter’!”“

“Just arrived back in California and stopped here for lunch. The food was absolutely amazing. Super fresh and flavorful. Who doesn't love Hawaiian Rolls!

Stop by for the a hot dog or burger. You will NOT be disappointed!“

“A rare visit for dinner tonight on Friday , had a special for ribs and I couldn’t resist! Carlos and Caitlyn were great. Had a moment to share with Carlos the years I lived in Jalisco Mexico and what can I say Caitlyn has been great as always. She has been a great server since 2019, I hope she never changes.“

“This Server like most of the servers and the restaurant say hi to you and asks how you are doing then ask for your beverage and if you are ready they will take your order Ninfa. Is very friendly and courteous she usually waits on me and my family when we come in together but on top of everything around her she is a very good server. Thank you Ninfa.“

“Great 😊 service. Outdoor eating is awesome 👏“

“This Marie Callendars is smaller than the one in Anaheim I used to go to for many years. I appreciated having access to pot roast and other favorites. I was disappointed that only a small chicken pot pie was available, but it comes in a nice trio. And they have great pies!

Parking: Ample parking next to the restaurant. Easily accessible.“

“This place has the best milk shake around, a pastrami that's top notch, and friendly employees. It's like time traveling, being in a 1990's burger joint.. but it feels good to support a small business in this day and age. Breakfasts are always good and the value is still there despite price increases over the years.“

“One star less on atmosphere bc the music is so horrible. However, AB is my go to for sports games etc. they have happy hour food, which is a big difference from their un-named competition (Chili’s). Food is always good, TV’s are sports ready, and Happy Hour.“

“ABSOLUTELY love BARDOT! Amazing food and great atmosphere!“

“The food and service were both amazing!!“

“I had a wonderful experience today…
I went to buy a pie for my son and I was helped by Robert M he was so wonderful . When I said the pie was for my son birthday he was so kind, he wished my son a happy birthday and gave him two delicious muffins; blubbery was my sons favorite.I was so grateful, thank you Robert And thank you Marie Callender’s for always making my a experiences with you guy’s memorable..see you soon“

“Saturday night the noise level was so loud. It was hard to talk to my Friend. The food was okay but it was so busy. I would say they were short-staffed on waiters not the waiter's fault that the managers fault for not having another waiter on duty! The reply from management was lame. Didn't address any of my complaints!“

“First time at this place and the food is AMAZING!“

“There was an event earlier in the morning and I got a coupon for a free 2-pack cinnamon rolls so it was perfect that I was planning to go for dinner that same day! Cinnamon rolls were yummy and I love the fact that the icing comes separate since I’m not the biggest fan of sugary icing. I tried a different dish, Pasta primavera and added grilled chicken. This was good and would recommend it. Their side salad was yummy, had all the good toppings and at the end, my family ordered peach pie and sadly they ran out! This is a seasonal item so they were very disappointed. But it just goes to show you that it’s popular and to reserve it once you get seated because my family actually called ahead and asked if it was available and it was but after we ate, they sold out!“

“Was a good time on Sunday evening listing to live music !!!“

“Came here for a last minute meal with the family. Sat in Phil's section and he made sure we taken care of, never ran out something to drink and very kind with the cheese bread. Thanks Phil for the amazing service and making sizzler a special place for nice steak and food.“

“Excellent food, service, and one of the best places for all the above.“

“Great service ! The food was yummy and the beer is cold !“

“Classic 50s Americana and good“

“We went at 1:00 and it was pretty empty. Maybe 3 other tables. Service was somewhat slow. I ordered the pipeline burger. Chili had. Zero flavor. I mean absolutely added nothing to the burger. The fries were the best though. They remind me of In n Out fries.. Honestly should have gone there instead..“
