“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“If you’re looking for a spot that does everything right, this is it! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is special. Their bánh mì is hands-down one of the best I’ve had — perfectly toasted bread, flavorful meats, fresh herbs, and just the right amount of pickled veggies. Every bite is pure satisfaction.

And can we talk about the desserts? 🍰🥤 Each one is deliciously unique and so satisfying, especially paired with their coffee — rich, smooth, and brewed just right. The dessert selection alone is worth a return visit.

This place is easily one of my favorites — excellent food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone who loves bold flavors and quality eats!“

“The food here is amazing and affordable! It's a great place to stop by for sandwiches, salads and tacos ☺️“

“Was my first time trying Tommy's Doughnuts and wow I am impressed! The service was amazing and quick, and very friendly. The doughnuts are absolutely delicious and fresh. The prices were great as well! Will need to stop by Tommy's again the next time I am in “

“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.“

“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.“

“Bomb. Burgers hott chicks goood foood been there lots of time great service“

“Very friendly staff! Amy herself works the grill and always greets me with a smile as I am a regular. Clean place, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Good food too! They are open daily till 3p, sans Mondays.

Breakfast items are fantastic! Prices are also good and they won't break your wallet. I can walk here from home. Neighborhood place and feels like you are having a home cooked meal every time.“

“Wow!! Such a hidden gem. Loved the food, the decor, the hospitality, everything. I stay way away from this place, else would have visited often. But surely would come back.
Some places you feel the people are not just after making money, this is one of those places, love the passion put into this place.“

“Food was done quickly and it tasted amazingly delicious.“

“I discovered this great gem of a bar during the final Hayward B street block party of the season! The owner was very friendly & the bar tender was amazing! She was working so hard because it was super busy. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken wings & they were the best I'd ever had. YUM!! They took awhile to come but as I said they were super busy at the time, but they were well worth the wait. Come on down to Blue Crown Bar & Bistro!!“

“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!“
