“I think this place is great ! The food has that great Mom and Pop Restaurant feel and taste. I never really wait here long even if there's a line , also when it's busy the quality doesn't go down! My wife has been coming here since she was in highschool and then she told me about it and fell in love and have been coming here ever since, for burgers , grilled cheese , tortas , asada fries , chile rellenos! The prices make sense, I hope I can bring my kids here in the future.“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“We went here for the first time with our grandchildren. We shared a burrito, which was enough for the 2 of us. All the portions were large and delicious, even the kid’s menu. The orange juice was fresh-squeezed. Service was excellent.\n\nReservations aren’t accepted; the whole party has to be there to ve seated. There’s always a line.“

“The food has to be experienced!! It’s high-end in taste and presentation, and the staff are professional but so fun that you feel like you’re with family. They are attentive to detail and will bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. Service with a smile; this company is pure joy!“

“Arcadia location... we went for the Monday pizza deal, it was delicious, Marco provided great professional service, would definitely recommend!“

“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this bistro.“

“Great food! 😋 friendly staff“

“It may seem petty - but for what seemed to be fine dining the table was poorly set and with paper napkins. Our server was pushing the special and when the lady next to me ordered the chicken (which I had planned to order), he tried to talk her out of it saying you could get a dish like that anywhere. When it came my turn, I said “Please don't try to talk me out of the Brick Chicken!” He didn't say a word.“

“Great food and service. Loved the the rooftop dining!“

“Honestly love when we get to go here. The food is fantastic. The hospitality is so kind. The whole place is such a vibe and lovely people. We had the friend chicken and the shrimp and grits. We got the gumbo and biscuits to go so we could have them for breakfast the next morning.“

“Breakfast burritos were amazing!“

“I've been going to Pieloon for a few years now and it is THE BEST restaurant in Downey! The food is always fabulous, the portions are large, the service is perfect! I've had appetizers, salads, pastas, steaks, burgers, sandwiches (I'm addicted to the BLT) and many of their specials. My family and I go now 2x a week and have trouble deciding what to get because it's all so good! And the pies...their pumpkin pie is the best I've ever had and the blueberry cheesecake is fabulous...but just wait until fresh peach pie season...I'll gain weight just thinking about it...the fresh peach is the best pie I've ever, EVER had! I love this place and the people who work there!! They're like family now!“

“The restaurant is elegantly decorated and has a comfortable atmosphere“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last visit. I must say the decor is exactly as I remembered. Took 3 minutes to be seated then we were greeted by the most friendly and attentive waiter I’ve EVER had at any restaurant . I’m a huge lover of the cabbage salad so I gorged on a big bowl before dinner. I ordered a medium rare fillet and potato and it was cooked to perfection. I so wish I lived nearby as I would pay it a regular visit. I’m so glad the Clearmans Northwoods inn has not been changed.“

“Salad was tasty . I’ll be back to try burgers they looked amazing .“

“THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE! Run don’t walk to eat here. It’s in a unique area that looks like a business district but the food is amazing! The burger and the French fries were so good and crispy! We also loved the Wild Caught Salmon! I will be coming back for the Breakfast Burrito. The best part is you can tell the owner cares to only find high quality ingredients. This place is a hidden gem and excited I discovered it!“

“I’ve been 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Service and food is fantastic! Highly recommend Smitty’s Grill.“

“Customer service is paramount not only for me, but specially when I am around family. Our server Schaeffer is not only superv to Customer Service but has great personality that makes me feel truly welcome!“

“It was wonderful and the food was delicious. The prices are very affordable. I will be coming back!“

“Delicious food and great service! Not sure if I should feel bad or not for leaving zero tip, only because they added a tip to our bill and there was only 4 in our party. We were going to leave a generous tip because service was excellent, until we noticed the tip was already already added.. I've always known there's an automatic tip on a party of 6 or more. Has that now changed to party of 4?“

“We love JB Burgers. Why? For one, the food is great. I get a steak sandwich all the time. No mayo, due to a diet constraint. Sometimes I'll get a bowl of chili ... or if I'm in the mood, I'll get a stack of french toast with my steak sandwich. Yes, that's a lot of food!

Steak sandwich - The french roll is good. The steak is a nice piece of meat and it has great flavor. They put tomatoes and lettuce. The tomatoes are good. The lettuce adds a crisp crunch, but there's a lot of white lettuce. The steak sandwich is a must!

My better half gets a guacamole burger. Tasty and the guac adds some healthiness AND the creamy texture replaces mayo, 1000 Island or any other sauce that's not healthy.

The chili is good! When it's chilly or on a rainy day, it's good comfort food!

French Toast - this is good stuff. They give you a lot and it's made well. Taste is really good and they use a thicker bread - yummm!

Now to the wonderful staff! 95% of the time we've had good to exceptional service. I order inside the restaurant - makes sense since we're eating inside. One time, this gal told me I could not order inside and she made me go outside to order. I told her I order inside all the time, but she didn't want to listen. I almost left, but I saw the familiar faces there, so I ordered outside. The next time I saw her there, she let me order inside.

I try to get to JB's at least once a week. They're my go to!

I highly recommend JB Burgers!“

“Their Corned Beef sandwich and their Pastrami Sandwich...both DELICIOUS!!!!!“

“Stopped by this establishment because my normal breakfast spot was full to the gillz one particular morning. This establishment was pretty darn close to being full and seated us promptly. I was pleasantly surprised by the food which was spot on. I opted for the chicken and waffle which was hearty and sumptuous. While I still consider my go to breakfast spot to be Georgia's bun n burger up the road, I believe I'll keep this diner as a formidable reserve in my back pocket.“

“Nice atmosphere, and good service . Food was okay . Not sure what else to write in order for this to post 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“Bingo and the Los Angeles Dodgers!“

“Love the food love the place always delicious 🥘“

“Muy buena bienvenida de Liz. Excelente atención, y la comida es buena. 100% recomendado❤️“

“One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The pastrami, the bun is all amazing. I unfortunately don't live near one so I have to grab it when I'm driving by. Unfortunately I have no pictures because I immediately started eating it the moment I brought it to the table. 🤣“

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“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.“

“The most amazing staff and food. They treated us like family when we needed it most. We’ll truly never forget the hospitality you showed our family. 💜🇨🇦“

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

“First time trying Cafe Et Cetera and it did not disappoint! I ordered the California omelette that has bacon, ham, cheese, and avocado. Omelette is also served with a salad and tater tots. Food was delicious and good portions. The lady that served me was very friendly. She even went out of her way to look for me in the seating area to give me the salsa that came with my food. I wish I took a picture of the food but I was too hungry. I will definitely go back!“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“I’ve been going to Towhey’s for over 20 years. I love their breakfast. I love their cheeseburgers. My daughter Micaela used to be a hostess in Alhambra. It’s one of my favorite go to restaurants. I love sitting at the bar. Also when they’re busy it’s a fun place to have dinner.“

“Dog, burgers, drinks and a Tuesday run club, what more do you need!“

“Some unique flavors and some familiar. Customer service at the bar is unparalleled, like the all-day happy hour pricing. I’m very happy when I come to this place, regardless of what I order.“

“Excellent food, great service and environment. Feels homey with gourmet cuisine. Consistently great, we come here about once a month. Drinks are excellent too. Thank you.“

“Susanna provided such great service, although it was a busy morning she treated every customer with a smile and her fullest attention. You can tell she loves her job and cares about her customers. I would def come back and recommend this location.“
