“best chicken fried steak and gravy this side of El Paso“

“This food is amazing. As a long time vegan it's nice to have a place to go and feel like everyone else. Drive thru, order and eat. 💕 The quality is unparalleled, and the service is stellar.“

“Fast. Friendly service always delicious burgers n fries“

“Been coming to Rock ‘n’ Jenny’s since it opened. My favorite hero sandwich. There are other very good sandwich shops, but this place’s sandwiches are unique, from the bread to the condiment combinations. I always go there with very high expectations, usually by salivating in anticipation. Honestly. Going there today, three hours from now. So looking forward to the food and experience.“

“I have been enjoying a quarter pounder for ages with a HI C orange, still delicious and fries were amazing. Soo good

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“

“Always great food fast service and very friendly“

“e well, she is a managers. They’re very friendly and outspoken and really nice people. 😊“

“I have written a yelp review about their food. I love their plum sauce and that’s saying quite a bit as I am not a fan of the usual sweet side sauces. This one is different though. Their Pad Kee Mao or spicy noodles is honestly so good. Their noodles aren’t mushy (they are perfect) like so many restaurants have let them get, and their food is always served hot.“

“My favorite place for middle eastern cuisine in North county. Generous portions and delicious food. A good value for the price. I always get 2 -3 meals out of my order. Bread no longer comes with meals but fair enough. Their prices are still very reasonable for the quality and quantity“

“On a recent visit to the San Diego/Escondido area, we ate at Craft and Taco Lounge. Since I’m vegan, it was my pick for dinner, and the Vegan Pastor ended up being my favorite. It was so good that I went back the next evening for takeout. I’ve had tacos across Texas and Mexico, and these were among the best I’ve had.“

“We came in after a hard day loading and wanted A great meal they went ahead and made our food even thought it was closing time, they could have told us they were closed! What awesome customer service, beautiful and very clean restaurant! Delicious food! Thank You for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 100 star rating!“

“Soy. Un cliente. Q. Frecuenta. Mucho. Este. Restaurante selos. Recomiendo muy. Deliciosa su comida Grasias. Por todo.“

“I went to O’Brien’s for the first time today. My Mother-in-law highly recommended the restaurant so I could meet my friend. The food was delicious. The service was great- Thank You Sarah and team. I am so excited to try the different types of breads and pastries. O’ Brien’s is known for their delicious breads, especially sour dough. If you are in the San Diego area, differently check out this restaurant! Sit down and relax with your favorite cup of coffee or tea with a sweet pastry, great bread or something from their delicious menu.“

“I recently had a fundraising event and Sunny Side was such a great choice for catering. After I sent an email, I got a call back and we walked through the order and right sized it. The guests really enjoyed an artichoke quiche, strawberry chicken salad and three types of mini cookies. Everyone raved about the food. It was all packaged up to be easy to serve. I would highly recommend working with Sunny Side on your next catering need!“

“Ava our server was just so amazing! Such a great attitude and got our food/ beverages out in a timely manner. Definitely would give that girl a raise!“

“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 😤💪🤣“

Kindly name 3 of my songs you love so much...“

“This is the only place to eat in the mall. It’s healthy, Whole Foods, no processed food. And it’s tasty. I get the pioneer plate with chicken, beef and Gyro, and add rice or not depending on my health goals. Anyway, if you care about your self and loved ones, stay away from the other places here and get Pioneer! Also I love I can run through the field and park to get there. Great spot!“

“The quality of their chicken and Greek dishes is absolutely phenomenal. It is a small unassuming location and the menu may look dated but don't be fooled, this place is excellent. Any time a place serves a high volume of returning locals that should tell you something. Truly, the food quality is top tier.“

“After a long day outdoors, me and a close one of mine were both craving for some Chinese food for dinner. I did some research and saw that this place was along the way back to our hotel. It was a hot day, so we both agreed to give it a try and to it look any further. Upon arrival, we were both greeted a warm welcome by one of their friendly staffs. We were seated almost immediately since it was not too busy at the time and we began browsing through their menu to see what we would like to have. They offer many authentic Chinese dishes to choose from from such as their dim sum that is avaliable all day, traditional house specialties, appetizers, soups, seafood items, pork entrees, beef entrees, poultry entrees, dinner combination plates (Avaliable at three in the evening, you can choose and lunch combination plate and add two dollars. It is served with daily soup, steamed rice and an egg roll. If you want a soup with the dinner combination plate it will be an extra two dollars), salads, vegetarian dishes, Chop suey, egg foo young, fried rice, stir fried noodles, noodle soups, dessert and then there is the lunch special section. The items you can select from the lunch special includes various entrees from seafood, chicken, pork, beef and vegetarian items. Also if you want to step away from steamed white rice there is the option between pan fried soft noodles or fried rice. You have the option between steamed or fried rice, a daily soup and egg roll are all included. Same as the dinner combination, if you would like a soup with the lunch special for takeout it will be for an extra if two dollars. We found many things we wanted to try and our order was placed where we both were excited since we both knew something amazing is on the way. Everything here is made to order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. While waiting for our food we were served hot tea and bottomless iced water which was extra points since it was really hot outside and we both needed to hydrate. Finally the food arrived and it was time to feast. From the moment of the first bite I can tell you that they use premium ingredients, the food was well prepared, they have a great chef and most importantly it was fulfilling and more than enough to take home since we were really hungry. The service was really great here, thanks to their well trained, professional, understanding and polite staffs are visit was a satisfying and issue free one. As time went by, a lot of people arrived to dine in and to pickup their takeout orders. They accept both cash and cards for the payment at your convenience. I highly recommend this place to all Chinese food enthusiasts, to anyone in need of a quick bite just like us, to anyone willing to try something new, to anyone looking for a laid back spot to dine at or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious option they have in the future.“

“We only had burritos, but holy cow! This is a gem. We live in L.A., and I honestly might drive down here for lunch again. This is the kind of business that should be patronized during these times, so that it survives to provide REALLY GOOD FOOD.“

“I really like this pho place and come here quite often. In my opinion, it’s one of the best value-for-money pho spots in the area. The interior has a very classic, old-school Vietnamese vibe, which I really enjoy.

The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the food is very filling for the price. The large pho portions are huge. My husband and I can barely finish one bowl, and there’s always a lot left.

The spring rolls are delicious, especially with the slightly sweet dipping sauce. The chicken is tender and flavorful, very authentic. Overall, a great spot and definitely worth supporting.“

“Quick order on UBER EATS and it hit the mark. The acai bowl was filled with great options/fruits and packed with flavor. Avocado Toast spoke of freshness, nice protein w/ pumpkin seeds, and the Tumeric Shot, tart, had a great punch. I'd order again in a second.“

“Seniors portion is just right. Nice servers & good food .“

“Great food
Great service
Great atmosphere

Placed a custom order and it came out perfectly. It can get a little loud at times but it was super busy with not even any open bar seating when we arrived! Worth the wait“

“Had my 33rd bday here with 40+ guests and I can honestly say I am more than happy with the experience. The staff was attentive quick and super friendly. The food was great and the place was big enough where we didn’t feel trapped. Kaitlyn was the bar manager at the time and she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for big events“

“Healty and delicious! The turkey torta was delicious and huge - each half was the size of an entire hand. I initailly wanted to call it a sandwich but it was way better than that - warm and melty with a jalepeno and creamy kick! Way better than just a sandwich. I also had a pineapple smoothie with and orange juice base - YUM!
Definately a hidden gem!“

“Anytime I’m craving Thai food, this is my new spot. I think they have some of the best cream cheese wontons I’ve ever had. The chicken pad Thai is amazing, but tonight I went with the Massaman curry with chicken. The mix of carrots, potatoes, and onions, With the peanut butter infused, curry is delicious. And there’s still a lot more on the menu have yet to try🤗“

“The place is clean ,friendly costumer service and the food 🥘 is awesome.“

“Best chicken soup!! All the daily specials are great! Flavorful food at a reasonable price“

“Absolutely Amazing! I've been a 3GO customer for many years and they have always had the best Sushi in Escondido and great prices too! During the pandemic I started ordering their food for delivery and they do an excellent job of packing too! 10/10 don't bother going anywhere else.“

“I like this local Escondido Filipino eatery. They serve their food buffet style to go or dine in. Variety of freshly prepared Filipino dishes. My faves are the BBQ pork/chicken, loonganesa (sp?), sisig, lechon, ampalaya casseroles, and of course the halo halo for dessert. Yum yum yum... ok, can't say more cuz in eating.“

“LOVE the order ahead pick up drive through! Food is delish and service is on point! Thank you Mirin you never disappoint“

“I Love going to old burger joints when traveling. Stopped here while in town for work. The burger was so fresh and chili cheese fries were bomb! The staff was so inviting and continuous checked that the everything was okay.
There’s a reason they’ve been open so long! 🍔“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“If you’re looking for a cozy spot in Escondido with a laid-back vibe and great service, Kettle Coffee and Tea is the place to be. The atmosphere is super casual, making it perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. The staff is friendly and quick, which is always a plus. Their sandwiches are delicious! I had a BLT that they customized for me by adding sprouts, spinach, and cheese. I even added extra bacon—because, really, who doesn’t love more bacon? The sandwiches are always on point here. I did have a funny little mix-up during my visit. I went to the counter to check on my regular drip coffee with three shots of espresso (I love my coffee strong!) and the lady said, “Here’s your BLT!” Confused, I replied, “I’m already eating one but it wasn’t the one I had ordered but that’s ok because I was hungry.” Turns out they printed my ticket twice. I offered to pay for the extra sandwich, but they insisted it was on the house. I ended up giving the extra BLT to one of our local homeless residents, which felt good. Overall, Kettle Coffee and Tea is a fantastic spot with yummy food and a welcoming staff. Definitely recommend!“

“Love the food and atmosphere here. Hard to get great service these days, but Mike's BBQ never disappoints. Thank you!“

“Just visited and was immediately impressed with quality beverage selections and food offerings. The owner actually touched base and was very friendly. I will be back to try the food. Sorry that the market/ pizza place next door gets confused with this place. The 5 star reviews of the other place actually had photos of the interior I just saw in person...If you are any where in the area you should definitely give them a try.“

“Just try it! You won't be disappointed...“

“If you’re looking for truly authentic Mexican tacos, this spot is a must-visit. Everything is handmade—from the tortillas to the fresh, flavorful salsas—and the meats are grilled right in front of you. The natural fruit drinks are packed with real flavor and perfectly refreshing.

What really makes the experience special is the family who runs it. They’re incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

These are the kind of tacos that take you straight to Mexico—simple, traditional, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!“

“Yummy Burgers, Tempura Green Beans, and Ranch!!!“

“The bowls are amazing and the service is all ways amazing too ! Way to go 🍌🍓🍍🥝❤️“

“The sushi is absolutely amazing! I haven't gotten sick once from them, where I have at other sushi places. Service is timely, pickup orders are always ready when they say it will be. I go to the Escondido location 😊“
