“I’m a sandwich (and Italian hoagie) aficionado, constantly seeking out the best. I actually have an entire category of sandwich shops and deli’s saved on my phone. I will drive (or more likely ride my motorcycle 2+ hours just to try a new place.

Take it from me: Lucia’s is a rare gem. Five stars. Terrific bread, thinly sliced meats and cheese, fresh produce, homemade spread: they had it all.

And LOTS of it. I knew as soon as I picked up the bag: huge, loaded sandwich. I couldn’t get my mouth wide enough to get the whole thing at once. Then, I could only eat half. I brought the other half home and my wife could only eat half of that half. I enjoyed the rest the next day.

I should’ve taken a picture but was too busy devouring the thing. I will definitely be back, and I will remember to take a picture then. It’s as good an excuse as any for a return visit. See you there.“

“Pizza Pirate has saved me and my husband many times over the last few years with hot, fresh pasta, kid-friendly options, and so many delicious garlic twists. Sometimes it was when we couldn’t find the energy to cook at home so did a quick call in and pick up, and sometimes it’s because we had a craving to eat out, and each time, we’ve had a great experience and meal! When it was time to help plan my daughter’s end of year school party, pizza was an easy choice for feeding 100 first graders! I contacted Pat at Pizza Pirate a couple weeks before the last day of school to see if Pizza Pirate could accommodate a big order, have them ready before they officially opened, and make sure pizzas were double-cut to limit precious wasted pizza. Not only did Pat respond to each and every email with lightning speed time to accommodate us, he generously gave us the pizzas half off to help maximize our budget for the party and kids. Pizza Pirate is the only place in town my kids love and we’ll be making sure we support them all summer long. After the party, my daughter thanked me for coordinating and exclaimed, I ate four pieces, which is a BIG win for my usually picky eater. Thanks to Pat and the Pizza Pirate team for helping us close the school year right!“

It did not disappoint and discovered the wonton tacos that were soooo good. Our server though, Sabrina I believe?....just added to the experience. Very friendly, and I would say perfect service; to the point that my mom wants to request her as our server again for our next visit which will be way sooner than later. Thank you Applebee's and Sabrina!

To add, from what I remember of being there years ago, it wasn't as clean as it is now. Menus were clean, the table, our booth...everything was clean last night and I was thoroughly impressed as I am in the industry as well. I'm so glad Applebee's is still in Vallejo! We'll be back!“

“Love.this.place.100% AWESOME! From the moment we walked in, we felt like guests in a welcoming place, after a long day of appointments, we were in search of refuge in the form of chips and salsa, a stiff drink and maybe a plate of nachos before an hour long trek back home to SF. We had the street tacos, rice and beans with chips and salsa. Delicious is an understatement! If you want awesome food, a nice place to eat, indoors or out, OR you prefer street side at a table to people watch, indoors for air conditioning, or there's ALSO - the back courtyard with shade and privacy, plenty of seating, fans for hot days or heat lamps for cold nights... THIS PLACE ROCKS! I may regret telling people how awesome this place is but it needs to be recognized. We are picky. This is only my 2nd review...EVER. Thank you, 709 <3 Joel and Heather“

My only thing was the chicken wings I ordered were supposed to be salt and pepper but came out with little to no seasoning. I did try the fries, and they were decent.“
