“Mission Hills Cafe is absolutely fantastic. My husband has been eating here for years & I became a regular maybe a year ago & I don’t know what took me so long. The food is phenomenal & the portions are nice. Hector & Sonia make you feel like family and they give the best service. The vibe is beyond comfortable and relaxing. Drinks are also AMAZING! The food is delicious and I love the tacos :-) I highly recommend.“

“Been on road trip from Texas for a week definitely the best we’ve had so far. Fantastic food and service.“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

“Tried this place yesterday at OTG: Fort Mason. After eating a bunch of other unsatisfying food I just wanted one chicken tender no sauce. Yes one chicken tender. There was a bit of a wait but I was so happy after eating.It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was well seasoned and had a nice crunch to it. The service was friendly and even they still offered me sauce during my pick up. They probably thought wth, but that is truly what I just wanted haha. Anyways try this place!“

“Good foods , server are friendly“

“muy buen servicio y el personal muy atento como trailero para en barios pero este es muy bueno“

“My favorite brunch spot! Hidden gem with huge portions. Breakfast is excellent, whatever way you choose. Love the omelets, hash browns, waffle, burgers, fries. Cool cook + waitresses. Location is a bit off the grid, definitely stop by if you're in the area. I'll add photos later, can't find em'“

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“Had the best time as a Canadian for my first time at Applebee's! Our server Nico was super friendly and fun to talk to which made our experience amazing. We grabbed three cocktails including a super affordable holiday special cocktail and the mozzarella sticks (which was half off od the lat night menu). The drinks were pretty sweet but I highly recommend the Perfect Margarita (customized as a spicy mango marg) it was strong, tasty, and came with a refill! Great time, would come again :)“

“Had the brisket sandwhich based on a recommendation. Not bad. Fries and slaw good too. Glass of soda was huge. we'll eat it again, maybe try dinner.“

“This restaurant is always good if you’re in for comfort food like a great burger and a literal bag of fries alone with a nice cold shake made like they were in the 50’s! Overall great service and awesome staff that care about their customers! The meat is made all to speck in-house and aged for 24hours and the fries are steak fries made right!“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“Just a quick stop for a good burger and an ice cold coke. The service was great and, unlike Fair, they will let you use the restroom.“

“It’s that time of the year that you count on seeing us. We pick up our sides and gravy every year. Some how a pie always seems to make it in the bag to go Happy Holidays from the Guzman’s“

“My favorite IHOP location. I’ve been coming to this specific one since I can remember. Staff has always been very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Bringing condiments prior to the meal, such as hot sauce, helps make the meal that much more enjoyable. The staff even asks how my kids are doing when I come alone. Highly recommend this location.“

“We need a freaking salad bar in Alameda! We used to have 2 sizzlers on the island! Food is great & price!“
