“Stopped in for a late lunch and witnessed the GM, Philip, handle an erratic and aggressive customer with calm and utmost professionalism. He apologized to us for the incident, although clearly he was not responsible for that person's rude behavior. We had delicious sandwiches and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. We WILL be back!“

“The best burger I have had and Thomas was awesome. The bummer, I thought the restaurant was opened. There's never anyone to guide and tell you. When I walked to the bar area, Thomas was totally awesome! I thought I needed a reservation but I didn't, it was seat wherever you want.“

“I'm not much of a gambler but my dad was a frequent visitor when he was alive. So in his honor on his birthday we had dinner at one of the restaurants. Ordered one of Dad's signature dishes that I miss, meatloaf. Although not like dads it was tasty and good size slice. Everyone enjoyed their dishes as well. Our waitress was very friendly and responsive which made Dads birthday celebration that much nicer. Maybe a new tradition!“

“We came here to eat last night as a family. Excellent food and service.

What really made the night special was the vibe and service. The Olympics were on and we enjoyed watching the games. I had to explain curling to the little one.

It’s laid-back but still feels like you can celebrate something meaningful there. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The little one ordered a Shirley temple and loved it. Our servers would give her an extra cherry whenever she asked. She was so happy.

Personally recommend getting the wings, brisket, potato salad, and beans. It was a dinner I'll remember. Thank you, Cali BBQ, for helping make it special. We’ll definitely come again.“
