They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and their genuine enthusiasm for providing excellent service truly stood out.

Restaurants by Cuisine
“I don’t even drink beer and this is my happy place”
“Great place with great food and great service, will definitely come back!”
“Came here to grab some beers and stumbled upon a deli. It was me and my wife so we decided to get one sandwich each. She got The jerk sandwich which is everoasted chicken with their in house sauce. I had a bite it was a lot of flavor. Since I love hot Cheetos I got the Hot poppa sandwich. Comes with turkey and hot Cheetos along with fat boys way of sauces and vegetables. Then we grab a hot dog to share to go and it was amazing. Rueben hot dog was still good for later. Kill 2 birds with one stone here at Fat Boys deli. Definitely coming back !”
Restaurants with Delivery
“The sandwich with beef and chimichurri is delicious!! Excellent service…”
“This place is worth a stop! The food is very good and very fresh.
I've been here many times and have always enjoyed everything I've tried on the menu. They are always very quick with their service as well.”
“Great coffee find! We ordered a cold brew with vanilla bean foam. Fresh and yummy. We also ordered a vanilla bean iced latte and it was delicious. Not too much milk and they make the vanilla bean syrup in house. The service was good and everyone was nice. I would highly recommend this place for good coffee and service.”
“Michael is great! I’ve been eating lunch here almost everyday for the past 2 months due to dietary restrictions, the food is good and the service is fast and friendly.”
“Loved Saturday, and Sunday breakfast at Gillespie Field. A great staff of folks, and a must visit if your only on vacation.”
“Their carne asada fries are to die for always enough for two. I get mine extra cheese no sour cream (I don't like it).
They never disappoint.!!
Sorry I don't have a photo I ate them before I left this review.
Next time.”
“I was recently helped by Carlos at the front register, he was very helpful and provided excellent service !
Everytime I’m in the area, I have to visit Luna Grill! 5/5 stars !”
“The service was nice, and the atmosphere was good. Other places I’ve been to have not served me this quick. The food was delicious and I would come again anytime.”
“Sinbad Mediterranean Cuisine is amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. Malak, who works here, made our experience even better with her friendly and attentive service. She gave great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend visiting for delicious food and great service!”
“Just tried the Banana Cream coffee iced and by far the best I’ve ever had! Support your local businesses!”
“I'm leaving a review about this place in general, and Andres in particular. I was unsure of what to order and he took his time and helped me pick a great option. Thank you for your exceptional customer service! This place is one of my favorite restaurants in EC, and employees like Andres is one of the main reasons why this place is awesome.”
“The chicken was so good I got a level medium and it was awesome I cannot wait to go back I'm going to try to go up a little higher on the hot scale and see where I can get LOL.. definitely give it a try it is so so good
Vegetarian options: I believe they have a cauliflower for who doesn't want chicken
Parking: It's a little tight but it's not to bad”
“Absolutely delicious drinks and desserts. I love their royal kanafa, the cream tastes really good and reminds of Mexican atoles I would have growing up. All the drinks I've had here have been great, I recommend everything on their menu!
Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible, large open seating area with moveable chairs and tables.”
“Всем рекомендую посетить этот ресторан и поесть суп "Pacha" из баранины.”
“DiLeone’s catered a party for us (20 people) and the food was delicious. We called when another Italian restaurant forgot about our order and we had nothing to serve our guests. We called DiLeones and they had our order ready for pickup in 45 minutes. The rigatoni with meat sauce was delicious - nicely cooked pasta with a rich and tangy sauce. They also prepared two pizzas and garlic bread. It was so much food that we brought our leftover pasta to the fire department. They loved it too. We were beyond grateful that they could help us out with our last minute order.”
Outdoor Dining
“I'm not a hamburger person but once in a while I'll get a craving. Drive thru line was no longer than it's usual long, roughly 20 min wait. The girl who took our order was excellent. Shame on me because I should have checked before we left, but we got home I set up my kids to eat their food and I almost cried because MY BURGER WAS MISSING!! Sad day.”
“Really great food and service! We had a great time. We ordered 1/4 pound each of tri tip and turkey plus a hot link and some drinks. The spicy slaw wasn't spicy at all but all the meat was delicious. Had some loaded fries and enjoyed some live music. We had a great night!
Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids, space to run around, fun family environment”

“Best Hawaiian BBQ I’ve ever had. They give you a decent amount of food so the prices are fair valued. And on top of that the food is delicious and packed with flavor. Also had a good customer service experience. Definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking for some great food.”
“FANTASTIC DELI, BEST IN SAN DIEGO. I PURCHASED THE SAN DIEGO NATIVE AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS”
“Me and my partner were in a rush today but we also didn’t want to get fast food so we came here. The server KARINA immediately knew and rushed the food and got us to go boxes. She and the cooks were amazing. She helped in every way she could and had an excellent attitude about it. We’ve come here before and every time is an excellent time. Don’t forget to tip your servers they work really hard here and genuinely deserve it!!!”
“Authentic Mexican food Mexico City style ?a gem in El Cajón.
We had seen this place but had not had the opportunity to visit it and we liked it a lot. In a few words: Delicious food, good atmosphere, good service and attention; and very affordable prices.
We tried the pambazo, the al pastor tacos, the head and the sope. Everything was very delicious and with a 100% homemade Mexican flavor, but for us the star dish was the sope (they give you a choice of several stews) the dough with which it was prepared was very soft and at the same time crunchy. And the hibiscus water we ordered was very fresh and not as sweet and cloying as other places.
The decoration of the place is authentic Mexican and very colorful. You have to eat outside and inside.
And for us the most important thing was the prices since right now everything is very expensive. We were especially surprised given the quality of the service and food.
It is a place we will definitely return to and recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Mexican food.”
“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.”
“Excellent service, friendly atmosphere..food very satisfying”
“I've been wanting to try this cute little country cafe for a while now. So glad I finally had the chance! It is small and cozy, seats about 30 people. The staff were inviting and super friendly! I ordered the basic french toast and eggs and my eggs were cooked to perfection and I'm super picky about how they are cooked :) The homemade salsa was delicious and had the perfect kick to it. I will definitley be stopping by again to try the biscuits and gravy everyone has been raving about!”
“This is an update to my original review. The cook was preparing our sandwich without a mask during COVID. I call the situation to the attention of Manager but when he left, she took off her mask and continue preparing our food without the mask. We complained and requested our refund, and the Manager, respectfully refunded it. We have never gone back.”
“Great good, excellent service. We didn’t have to wait to be seated. The food came in a timely manner and the prices we received definitely affordable. I love the atmosphere.”
“The service was amazing it was a first for my girl and I and they gave us a tour even though they didn't have too the food was amazing and the drinks were on ”
“This was a lovely restaurant I came to for my friend's birthday. Every guest seemed to like their dish. I ordered a club sandwich (no bacon, no tomatoes) with a side of fries but I was a bit disappointed when they brought it with bacon and tomatoes. They sent it back and corrected the order, and it ended up being pretty good and very filling. The restaurant has an outdoor terrace that has a beautiful view on the pool area.”
“I love Press Box so much! I’ve been coming here for years!! The menu has changed some but all for the better!! Happy Hour is great and Wine Wednesday is even better! Great food and great service.”

“I have been craving good Thai for a few years. I have tried some not good and some okay other places. Thai Time is so good. The aromas of the spices tortured my already empty stomach with the enticement of good food to come. I have fallen in love with the food and customer service. I will be back as my budget allows.”
“AMAZING FOOD!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! SO DELICIOUS!!!!”
“Hala is number one. I wanted a mojito they were out of mint and she went to the market to grab some just to make us happy after she was finished with her shift. She is the reason we keep coming back. Best server at the Junction!”
“Best taco shop in El Cajon! We’ve tried several and keep coming back. My favorite thing is the carne asada plate. Tacos and jack cheese quesadilla really good too. Like hot sauce? They’ve got a couple good options. The guys here are always nice, helpful and friendly. Def a recommendation!”
“It's kind of sports friendly with a few TV's here and there. Staff was friendly. The medium sauce chicken tenders were huge and delicious. Great value!”
“Great place with great food and great service, will definitely come back!”
“People here have great attitude. Cook is cracking jokes as soon as you walk in. Carne asada fries where amazing and the portion was enough to feed one person and then some. Prices are also affordable. 15$ for carne asada fries is reasonable considering my the portion. Way better than Tapatíos who charged me 20$ for the same. Definitely recommend El Cotixan. Green salsa is mild and red is a little spicier. Great experience overall!”
“BEST PIZZA and food! Always fast and good service! The owner is hands on and super nice!!!”
“DiLeone’s catered a party for us (20 people) and the food was delicious. We called when another Italian restaurant forgot about our order and we had nothing to serve our guests. We called DiLeones and they had our order ready for pickup in 45 minutes. The rigatoni with meat sauce was delicious - nicely cooked pasta with a rich and tangy sauce.

“Tasty tacos! Quick n tasty n it’s only $2 a pop on Tuesdays ?
They have a TV inside too, nice chill vibe inside and the people behind the counter are super welcoming and nice??”
“I recently researched a good Chinese restaurant for takeout, and it was a great experience! I called the restaurant, and the person who answered was so patient and helpful, answering every single question I had. It was really nice. I gave them a pickup time, and it was totally worth it.
We tried the Beef Lo Mein ($15.99), Shrimp House Special Fried Rice ($14.99), Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($19.99), and Homestyle Tofu ($14.99). Everything was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly salty. The portions were generous, enough for the two of us, which was amazing.
Just a heads-up: since it’s a restaurant, if you’re sensitive to salt, you might want to ask them to go easy on it. Otherwise, just drink plenty of water. Personally, I loved it! We’ll definitely be returning.”
“I made a special trip of 7 hours just to dine at this establishment, and whenever I visit San Diego, I would greatly appreciate it if it could be recommended as my first dining option.”
“Great place to have your event at, great food, super friendly and accommodating management and staff. The food quality and quantity were amazing. I would definitely come back here for our future events and recommend The Palms to all family and friends.”
“My wife and I like it here. Have been here with daughters and sons in-laws. Have shared a table with a larger group of friends a couple of weeks ago where we were all taking advantage of happy hour. Five dollar tacos and cheeseburger. We did Taco Tuesday yesterday and had the fish and calamari tacos and took two Birrea tacos to go. Excellent tacos waitress did us well in the past and bartender took care of us yesterday.”

“Alex is absolutely legendary. This guy provides upstanding customer service, made my family feel right at home and delivered incredible 5 star hospitality. His food recommendations were spot on and even turned us on to the dessert brownie. We will be back here based on his service alone. 10/10”
“Man whaaaat! Yall still going to chipotle for your protein bowls n getting skimped & taxed w no flavor either ?! ?
Just look at this rice bowl w Carne (removed the beans) only 11$ btw. Can’t beat it. If you haven’t tried it your missing out. Packed with meat spicy rice & their red sauce is amazing. Small cups of sauce tho so I always ask for plenty. Thank me later ???????”
“Arrived on a Wednesday for $5 Bingo, I want to say the play started at 2pm… and since I skipped lunch, I needed a snack before dinner. The Bingo Hall offers food from Double Down Grill next door. I decided to share a cheeseburger, add fries with my partner. The burger was damn delicious, the brioche bun was so soft and the fries crispy and hot, just how I like them. It was like $16 altogether with tip! So worth it, give them a try!”
“Really good flavor!! We got pollo asado burritos and added rice, beans, sour cream and pico. Lots of flavor. Only complaint I have is the fact that the burritos literally only come with the meat and cheese. I don’t understand that. So after I added all the normal burrito ingredients the price was SO high. Paid $37 for 2 burritos and a cheese quesadilla”
“I love this McDonald's. The people are so friendly. Way better than 2nd st!”
“Went late around 12:30am and ordered 2 orders of carne asada fries and the Rosendo special of 12 rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole. The person who took our order was polite and patient. Waited about 10 mins for our food. Final price of the three items came out to $50.”
“Santana's has been around for decades. I've heard it was going downhill but that is NOT right now. They're awesome. This place is excellent I can tell they work very hard too. Go support them.”
“So very yummy. Sad I can’t buy it for my home.”
“Hana Sushi is truly exceptional! As a sushi lover, I couldn’t ask for more—Hana combines convenience with some of the most delicious sushi in San Diego. The prices are affordable, the service is outstanding, and the sushi is melt-in-your-mouth perfection!
This is my go-to spot when I want to avoid the busy downtown scene. The team at Hana clearly takes pride in what they do, with every bite crafted with care by their skilled sushi chefs. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Hana Sushi is a must-try!”

“I don’t know how to spell his name right but his name was Fran’s I think he is an amazing worker and customers service on point. FOOD WAS AMAZING, all around great.”
“The food was really good and the staff were very nice. There are so many choices on the menu and there are also many drink options which I enjoyed. I got the grilled pork vermicelli noodles and really liked it. The pork had so much flavor and was cooked really well. I am excited to go back and try more dishes!”
“Had heard good reviews and decided I had to try this restaurant. Was glad I did. Crust was great, crisp but with a good chew, sauce had just the amount of oregano that I like. Spotlessly clean and very nice people. I will definitely be working my way through the menu along with stopping by for their two slices and a drink special. Got my eye on a good Stromboli.”
“I think we have a new favorite Chinese place! We ordered take out, but when I came to pick up the order, I was admiring the restaurant. It was very nice- it looks like a great place to take a date. We ordered Lemon Chicken- such a flavorful sauce!, a chicken with basil and garlic- delicious and so many whole cloves of garlic -yum!, vegetable fried rice with lots of still- crisp veggies, and the only disappointing entree- egg foo young. The sauce was magnificent, but the egg foo young was a bit overdone and unremarkable, and even the sauce-full of pieces of pork and crisp veggies - couldn't save it. We will absolutely be back, though!”
“Please take the bells off the glass front door. They are super loud every time someone walks in. Awful sound. What’s not awful is the tuna sandwich. Best tuna sandwich in North America.”
“The only thing I don't like is their salt and pepper wings but that's a given, most places can't make them good.
But besides that I like their food a lot.”
“Never had a bad experience here. The staff are always super friendly and make you feel welcomed and take good care of us. This is our favorite no-frills, reliably good food, hole in the wall spot. Our son loves the food here too! Highly recommend”
“Been going there over 30 years.. Forget those chain pizza places, seriously, this place always feels like home when I go. That guy has heart, and his dough and sauce are on point! Keep it up Sam! Much Love.. I can't believe no one else has posted here till now.”
“Always excellent food and service. Great pad Thai and Great Yellow Curry. A favorite.”
“This is Jjin that Koreans make. It was nice to see Koreans in El Cajon. It's delicious, and they gave me an extra piece of chicken last time. I guess it's because they spoke Korean.
I’m going again today~~~”
“This place is a chain and an amazing one for that matter. It's not the best Taco shop but it's so solid and consistent with great food that whenever I see one I'm excited and already know I'm going to get great southern California Taco shop food. San Diego is lucky to have them...I wish they made it out to some other states. Also the price is always great. You are not going to break your bank here.”
“One of my favorite sushi restaurants in East county! The food is amazing, the chef's definitely know what they're doing, they're quick, polite, friendly and great at what they do!
Only problem from time to time is the service. Lots of teenage servers but they aren't all very attentive. Granted, it's probably most of their first job's but trying to get their attention shouldn't be that tough.
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for non sushi eaters, teriyaki chicken, ramen, fried rice and simple things.”
“All my family enjoyed the ? , it has good flavor , we all really like it . We even order an extra. Along with the wings. Only thing was the price is a bit high , but nowadays I'm not so surprised. Since everything is up. I guess it's worth the price.”
“Honestly this place is amazing they are very friendly and quick. The food is delicious it’s probably one of the Best tasting food overall. I highly recommend this place.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I haven't stopped in yet, but I know I'm definitely due soon. With all that good smelling aroma, and that mesquite smell in the air... I guess they'll say you'll be a fool not to, stop on in and take a plate ! I know I will, and I will return a five-star, with no despair...”
“You feel the soul here. Baristas are kind, quick & great! The coffee is AMAZING! I think this might be my new favorite part of town! It’s become a staple in my daily routine & I wouldn’t have it any other way! LOVE! Can I give a million stars???”
“Called at 7:15 this morning to order 200 breakfast burritos after the caterer fell through. The team got us done in 90 minutes. Awesome staff on such short notice. Thank you for saving the day!”
“Been coming to this location for over 15 years with my kids. Always great. The owner is s hard working nice lady. Pumpkin pie blizzard was fab!!!!”
“This is pretty cool, we actually went through the drive-through wrong way. And had a laugh about it. But the food was delicious and it was very well priced. I will definitely be back as I am a local here in the Mesa.”
“My baby girl loves Smoothies and we drive past everyday so figured today we should try it…& I’m so glad we did!! These smoothies are very yummy!! Baby girl drank all of hers and even wanted mine…. We will definitely be back for more soon!”
“Your chili cheese fries made me cry today. But its a good thing! Here's why. Growing up my mom was a single mom, so my grandma whom we lived with was basically my second mother. Needless to say her and I had a bond unlike any other. She was the most important person to me. And our favorite thing to share together in life, was food. We had our usual favorites, i.e. Weinerschnitzel. Our favorite is your chili fries! Growing up we always talked about how we would love a "large" size fry, because we love them so much! Well, my grandma passed away last year, a couple days before my wedding. Its been a rough year but the good things that remind me of her and our happy times, really get me by. When I heard the new "large" size was introduced, I had to have them. Today, the always wonderfully nice people at the Magnolia ave. store made me an order of your large size fries. This was the 2nd time I had tried them, delicious ofcourse. But today I parked and opened my box of fries, and saw it was fresh, steamy, and sooo many fries!! I was so excited, my first reaction was to call my Grandma and tell her all about it. Well I havent found a cell provider that calls to heaven yet. But that fresh hot order of fries, brought back sooo many good memories. And as a cook, I believe thats the job of good food. To transport you to a happy place. And today, it most definaitley did. And I felt you should know. Thank you so much for a wonderful kickstart to my day. :) To some it may seem crazy, but to me my heart is happy today.”
“Great selection of Baja California style delicious food. Their lobster bowl is a must try! Daily Agua fresca and sweet teas are refreshing. Plenty of kid friendly choices in main menu and kids menu.
Kid-friendliness: Many Kid friendly options to choose from.”
“I love this place, for more than the food. The employees at the registers are always great food is solid and a hit every time. But on occation i have been blessed to be eating when the owner is on site. And whitinesed how kind he was to a few un housed individuals and restored my faith a little in humanity. He had no reason to as we all know too well, however he understood that it takes 3 seconds to be kind to someone. And that has made me a lifetime customer and any time our crew is in el cajon this is where we spend our money!”
“Best fast food ever! This place serves great Greek fast food. We got the platter and everything was so yummy. The 1/4 chicken was dry though but everything else better than expected from what the inside of the restaurant looks like (McDonald type).”
“One of my favorite sushi restaurants in East county! The food is amazing, the chef's definitely know what they're doing, they're quick, polite, friendly and great at what they do!
Only problem from time to time is the service. Lots of teenage servers but they aren't all very attentive. Granted, it's probably most of their first job's but trying to get their attention shouldn't be that tough.
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for non sushi eaters, teriyaki chicken, ramen, fried rice and simple things.”
“I was very hungry today, swung by the drive-thru, and was pleasantly surprised with a first-rate Chicago all-beef hotdog, tasty French fries, and a delightful orange cream shake (with a wide straw)! I sat in the adjacent parking lot and devoured a meal fit for this diva! I will definitely return for some of the interesting entrées listed on the diverse menu! ✔️???”
“Really cool little taco stand with great service. The food was okay, the guacamole on the rolled tacos had no seasoning or taste other than mashed avocados. The California burrito was good and decently sized for the price. The tostada was the weirdest, it was a tostada sandwich! Decently priced Mexican food, I would maybe go again if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way.”
“I've been here several times and every time they get my order wrong...Human error is acceptable, being ripped off is NOT acceptable...I ordered 3 potato rolled tacos which are $3.99, I asked for Cilantro & onions instead of lettuce w/the included guacamole on the side, and the included cheese...I got 3 rolled tacos with Cilantro & onions, no guacamole or cheese?!? (They come with cheese, my receipt says NO CHEESE when I specified I wanted it) What I was CHARGED for was 3 beef rolled tacos w/potato which isn't even a thing, for $5.69...on top of that I ordered fries which the menu states are $2.99 but was charged $3.99, extra crispy was extra limp and undercooked...if that wasn't bad enough, they screwed me for another .50 for a credit card fee...NEVER will I go back & yes I definitely will dispute the charge because this isn't ok...Taco Azul is better (I was in a hurry and Taco Azul doesn't have a drive thru) and they ALWAYS get the order right, both food and cost, they have my business from now on...I support small business but these types of actions need to be made public because most small businesses are infinitely honest so the ones who aren't need to go bye bye...”
“Best pizzeria on earth The pizza Is the best I’ve Ever tasted better in my life the environment in the pizzeria is clean and the employees there are very nice.”
“I love doing my kids birthday parties here, been coming here for over 20 years , I also love the half price games on Tuesdays it’s awesome … my daughter loves the frog hopper …and the coaster the most”

“The reception is very respectful. They treat them kindly. Their food is good, the speed of preparation is clean. They deserve all the best. I wish them success and sustenance❤”
“I ordered 5 Ground Beef Kabob Skewers , 5 Chicken Tikka Skewers, 1 chicken cream chop, 1 Shawarma Wrap, Rice, Hummus & Salad. Served with Pita Bread, Grilled So when I got home I find out there is only 4 Ground Beef kabob and 4 chicken Tikka And that was so embarrassing for me because I invited 5 people for lunch That was really bad experience”
“We've been patrons for 61 years; spent our 60th. Anniversary dinner here along with all our family mile stones: birthdays, wedding rehearsal dinners, etc. We love the staff, lovely people and family and the food is always great. We love the atmosphere; calm and private booths... they are family as far as we are concerned...”
“Yumm. No cayenne heat in the sauce which I appreciate, just flavorful spices. Idk if there is cayenne or not it’s just not hot. Liked potato salad and loved the beans n fries.”
“Wow! Fresh made chips, all food DELICIOUS! The spicy cucumber margarita, don't miss this succulent beverage. Service was fast, prices were good. Bathrooms run down but reasonable. This is a big place so lots of cars in lot at weekend dinner and we still got right in. Yum!”
“BEST Acaia Bowls in Town, Easy. Coffee is so Delicious from Common Good Coffee Roasters. Great Variety on Menu Coffee, Tea, Soda, Frappe Lovers, & Food. Stars on the Waffle Bowls, Parfait, & Bagels. Super Family Friendly! They have a Playground & Curbside pick-up available.”
“Took my wife to Al Finejan a few times. Always enjoyed the food and Daniel the owner is friendly and knowledgeable. Went there tonight and it was closed. Called their phone and the number was changed to an unknown number. Sad to think that this fine restaurant may have closed down.”
“Mr. Shawarma is an absolute gem! The food here is incredibly fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The portions are generous, ensuring you leave more than satisfied. The staff is friendly, and the service is great too. Highly recommend!”
“This place is cozy, inviting, clean. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff, but didn't interact much. The music was low which I personally like. I love the booth seating. Fast service.
My Complaints: I ordered a tuna melt but the tuna was cold and the bread of toasted. Defeats the purpose of a melt. But everything else was great. They have on the menu Mr. Pibbs soda, but didn't have any, and offered a Dr Pepper instead.”
“First time going here! I was skeptical at first because it’s a bit smaller than i’d like, but it turns out its a lot of fun and not as intimidating as the bigger places and $7 for 1 good sized beer, that’s a good deal! I will be returning soon, so much fun and they play plenty of todays hits and songs I know how to dance to, also no cover charge on Wednesdays!!”
“If you're looking for an authentic, Philly steak sandwich, look no further
These guys make each sandwich to order and everything is fresh and delicious. Don't get me started about the fries. You could order them plain or I understand you can order them Philly style. Going to have to try that next time. Let me know what you think of this. Fabulous local spot”
“I came here for lunch and got the chicken shawarma plate. It was delicious, the best I’ve ever had. Also the man working there is very friendly and takes extra care when serving you. I definitely recommend eating here if you stop by and I will be back again.”
“I recommend La Cresta especially for Taco Tuesday.”
“4/4/2022 My first time getting a pizza from here, and it was amazing! I look forward to trying other items as well.”
“Alex is absolutely legendary. This guy provides upstanding customer service, made my family feel right at home and delivered incredible 5 star hospitality. His food recommendations were spot on and even turned us on to the dessert brownie. We will be back here based on his service alone. 10/10”
“The people who own the Golden palace are such amazing and nice people!! The hall is so pretty to have a baptism, Engagement or Henna party �”
“My visit to Nahrain Fish & Chicken Grill was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. The customer service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Iraqi Masgoof , which was prepared to perfection. The fish was incredibly fresh, beautifully seasoned, and cooked just right. Each bite was a delight, showcasing authentic flavors that transported us to Iraq.
I can't recommend Nahrain Fish & Chicken Grill highly enough for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Iraqi cuisine in a welcoming environment. It's truly a gem worth visiting again and again.”
“We hadn't been to Black Angus for many, many years. On a whim we decided to go check it out due to wanting a good steak. We had reservations and were seated right away. Our server Laura was absolutely fantastic. She was polite, patient, and informative. She checked on our table many times. We received our food in a very timely manner and it was exactly what was ordered. Steak was perfectly cooked, lobster was delicious. Overall this turned out to be a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back soon.”
“GO HERE NOW!!This is my go to pizza place now!Every single time I’ve had pizza here, it’s always been superb! The crust is cooked to a perfection and the toppings are sooooo good.I typically order by the slice which is also super cool! I can’t always eat a whole pizza to myself.And one of the main reasons I choose this pizza over any other, THE SERVICE IS AMAZING!!!The guys here are always so so nice! Last thanksgiving I needed pizza dough and all the stores were sold out, they were nice enough to let me buy some from them at a really fair price! Today, my son wanted a water cup and they didn’t have any so they gave him a water bottle, on the house! So sweet.These guys always go above and beyond! Wait time is never an issue, quality is always on point, and their attitude is never short of amazing.Support this business!! They deserve it and some ❤️*pictured is a pinepapple ricotta cheese slice. I ate this so fast. Yummmm”
“Very yummy date shakes. I loved the chickpea date shake. Great customer service, felt very welcomed. Every date looked fresh, the honey had air bubbles which means it’s good quality. Will definitely get honey next time I go back! The honey date shake was also very good, me and my husband and our baby enjoyed it.”
“I've visited this place more than once in the past 4 years. But my last one was the best after they did a great remodeling job it is really looking nice and the food is great.”

Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.”

“I'm not a hamburger person but once in a while I'll get a craving. Drive thru line was no longer than it's usual long, roughly 20 min wait. The girl who took our order was excellent. Shame on me because I should have checked before we left, but we got home I set up my kids to eat their food and I almost cried because MY BURGER WAS MISSING!! Sad day.”
“The chicken was so good I got a level medium and it was awesome I cannot wait to go back I'm going to try to go up a little higher on the hot scale and see where I can get LOL.. definitely give it a try it is so so good
Vegetarian options: I believe they have a cauliflower for who doesn't want chicken
Parking: It's a little tight but it's not to bad”
“Absolutely delicious drinks and desserts. I love their royal kanafa, the cream tastes really good and reminds of Mexican atoles I would have growing up. All the drinks I've had here have been great, I recommend everything on their menu!

“These cookies are amazing! However, I’ve been to this location twice the first time my cookies were over an hour late and I was just passing through as I do not live in California so we had to wait the second time my chocolate cake cookies did not have any sprinkles. Over all the cookies are amazing. The service was great but my kids were a little disappointed as they didn’t get their sprinkles and the first time thank God I wasn’t in a hurry, but I was expecting to get home early and I was delayed over an hour and a half but I will definitely go again. ☺️”
“Food was good, but not as good as I've had at other locations. The chicken was a little small. I ordered tea and somehow got Coke for both of my drinks. Also the line was very long but it moved pretty fast.
Parking: It's in a huge shopping plaza. If you can't find a spot, drive a little farther”

“Really great food and service! We had a great time. We ordered 1/4 pound each of tri tip and turkey plus a hot link and some drinks. The spicy slaw wasn't spicy at all but all the meat was delicious. Had some loaded fries and enjoyed some live music. We had a great night!
