“Cindy is the most kindest soul there is.
She takes the spotlight.
Her service and attitude is not only a one-of-a-kind but they feel sincere.

Oh yeah — and the fries are good too of course.

You guys have a moral and professional responsibility to reach out to her and remind her of how amazing her service is...or else 😤💪🤣“

“🌟 Appreciation for Lisa (or Linda) at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park I want to express my sincere appreciation for Lisa—or Linda, as I may have heard both names—who works at the Tiger Sanctuary entrance and the Tiger Store at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Her presence made a genuine difference during my visit. 💛 What Made Both of them Stand Out • Sincere and hardworking — She carried out her responsibilities with real dedication. • Warm and pleasant — Her kindness made the experience feel welcoming and memorable. • Highly courteous to visitors — She treated every guest with respect and care, creating a positive atmosphere for everyone. Both made a true difference during my visit. They were sincere, hardworking, and extraordinarily pleasant and courteous to every visitor they encountered. It is rare to find staff who bring that level of genuine warmth and professionalism to their roles, and I felt compelled to make sure their efforts were acknowledged. . 🐅 About the Park The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, located in the beautiful San Pasqual Valley in northern San Diego, has been a beloved destination since its opening in 1972. As the sister location to the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park, it continues to offer extraordinary wildlife experiences—and staff members like Lisa/Linda are a big part of what makes it special. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is already a remarkable destination, but it is people like Lisa and Linda who elevate the experience and leave a lasting impression on guests. Please pass along my heartfelt thanks and recognition to them — they are a true asset to your team Thanks & Best Regards, Respectfully Submitted, Sridhar Rangaswamy ("Sri") US Trademark: #5030763 US Trademark #SN 98620494: "Promise Less/Under Promise and Deliver More" "Excellence is not an act, it is a Habit" "Honesty is the Best Policy"Be Truthful,Honest and Fair"“

“Oh my gosh! I have driven by different Tom's so many times, and always thought it was just a hamburger 🍔 joint. We finally decided to stop and go in and see if they had breakfast type foods, and do they ever!! I am very picky when it comes to breakfast and i was a little mad that my husband pulled in and said let's try this place. I should have taken pictures of the food but when the food was delivered to our table, I was in awe at how big the portions were!! My over medium eggs and long thick slices of bacon 🥓 took up a large plate just themselves. And the half order of biscuits and gravy, mmm-mmm-mmm, took up an entire huge platter plate and so much gravy, there was extra left over on the plate! That never happens. I always have to ask for a side of gravy other places to help cover my biscuit, but not here!! The biscuits are baked to perfection and that was the best gravy I have had from anywhere ever (except home ha. The omelets are huge and glorious! We were fulfilled in every way with our breakfasts here, and we're going to keep coming back!!! I can't believe we've never stopped at a Tom's before! It may be why I put 3 stars, because the atmosphere first, outside is deceiving... I always thought it was just another burger joint nothing special about it's signage, decor, or landscaping, and the indoors and tables resemble just another burger joint. Don't judge a book by its cover it's said, and from now on, I'll keep an open mind. We loved every bite of all of our food and we'll be back!!!“

“Jay absolutely kills it.

I watched him do the manager’s job plus everybody else’s while others stood around laughing and hanging out. The difference in work ethic was impossible to miss.

I had been waiting on my order, and Jay immediately noticed, took control of the situation, got things moving, and made sure my food was handled quickly and correctly while the rest of the store looked completely checked out.

That’s leadership without the title.

You can tell who actually keeps a business running, and it’s clearly Jay. The crazy part is people like him are usually underpaid while others collect the benefits off THEIR effort.

Jay deserves real recognition, better pay, and a leadership position because he’s already doing the work anyway.“

Kid-friendliness: I don't have kids but they do have games inside for kids

Parking: They have a lot of parking for pickup, which to me it seems they have too many but since I don't know if they really get many at a time. I guess I shouldn't say. The reason I mention is because it doesn't leave much for the rest of us

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty sure they have ramp“

I usually get the basics and always happy. I just am disappointed my home town can't keep a B. K. Due to unspoken reasons. We've had two chances at a B. K. But closed each time. I can't say why publicly because the stories are not varifiable. Still. I wish they'd try again where I live. B. K. Please re open in my town! 🙏“

“The food was good, as expected. However, there are only two self-service kiosks and no cashier available to take orders. This can create a long wait because some customers get confused while using the kiosks. There is also only one restroom available for customers, and yesterday the air conditioning wasn’t working. I wish Burger King would invest a little more in making this location more comfortable and pleasant for customers.“
