“Small little cocina tucked around the back of a gas station in a small neighborhood. Had a nice outdoor seating area. The hostess was incredibly kind and friendly. Ordered the tuna melt and garlic fries, and wow, was it amazing. There was a steady stream of take out and dine in customers, so we could tell it was a popular local spot. We wish we lived locally and we'd eat here more. The menu has many delicious options for tacos &, burritos. Oh, the michelado was 👌🏽 We had gone for a big hike in the area and the portions were perfect.“

“Oh man I love sandwiches. I used to travel to find good sandwiches. Lucias craft sandwich is amongst the best sandwiches I have had the pleasure of eating, globally. Seriously. And they are BIG. I usually buy a big one and eat it for lunch and dinner. So the sandwichology here is top notch. True to their Italian roots the come heavy with an herb olive oil vinaigrette, reminds me of Lorenzos in Belmont. The ingredients are fresh and flavor full. I have tried a few sandwiches here now but the Apple wood Smoked is something to write home to ma about. The apricot with the Italian herbs and the applwood ham blend with the focaccia and fresh veggies to give you a sweet, tangy and smokey flurry in your mouth. Will eat again.“

“Definitely a chefs kiss for the food, my partner, and I both had breakfast, which was perfect! Juan’s Service was excellent very attentive, but not intrusive.
Don’t let the little strip mall location for you, the interior is extremely clean, tidy and ready for service“

“Today we visited El Jardín de los Sueños Cafe ( Garden of Dreams Cafe) It was crowded but the service was spot on. The ladies serving worked fast and the hot chocolate we order was yummy. The neat thing about this Cafe is that they have a children's play space . They have children's books a doll house and toys. Food wise they have regular Cafe drinks but their hot chocolate has delicious cinnamon. They have omelettes, Bagels ,Sandwiches . protein smoothies and fresh juices. They also carry a variety of candy from Mexico and el salvador. There is also an outdoor seating area. Today being Saturday it was crowded but there was plenty of standing space. I loved the livelyness of the Cafe and overall it was a very interesting place to visit. I think this is a great place for families or for friends to meet.“

“YUMMMO - Savoring every bite - you will LOVE the catfish and hush puppies!!“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

“Been to Hotel Mac many many times and never ever been disappointed. The menu often varies with excellence across the board. Just celebrated my 70th birthday there. Wonderful evening in a great atmosphere.“

“Great place to celebrate my moms birthday!! 🎉“

“1111 Solano is a new location for this restaurant. Previously near Craneway and before the pandemic in Point Richmond. Same chef, same staff, and same excellent food and service.“

“Had an absolutely delicious Sweet & Savory burger (blue cheese, fig jam, bacon, arugula patty, bun), garlic fries, and fried zucchini. Would highly recommend, especially after a day of shopping and sightseeing in historic downtown Benicia. Perfect way to end the day!

Only downside was not enough napkins available for us to grab and tables were a tad sticky.“

“Had a wonderful meal there. The chef is a lovely guy offering creative variety in his dishes. Fish or meat - both were delicious!“

“We arrived here shortly after opening on a Sunday morning and we were seated immediately. We had the vegetarian omelette and hash brown hill along with an Americano. The omelette was 5/5 and well seasoned. The hash brown hill was hearty and deftly seasoned. We really enjoyed the Americano! The dining area is welcoming. We will be back.“

“I love Inn Kensington. I've gone there for decades and their breakfasts and brunches have never disappointed me. Their omelettes are exquisite, their homemade bread is delicious, and the service is excellent.
For lunch, I love their corn-cilantro, pancake.
Not only do they have incredibly fast service, But they're also very flexible about your order. For example, I always get black beans instead of potatoes on the side because their black beans are exquisite.
My highest recommendations for their breakfasts and brunches“

“Sue is a phenomenal waitress! She is attentive, checks in, updates on delays, and always brings our food while it’s still hot! Her efforts to make you feel as if you are the only family dinning in does not go unnoticed. We always appreciate when she is our server.“

“THE FOOD IS 1000% WORTH THE WAIT!! We arrived around 11 and waited in line for a good amount of time. 30 min? 1 hour? Longer?? I don’t even have a clue because we chatted and looked at all the beautiful scenery there. The staff does a really good job of keeping tables turning and they seat you after you order. I really appreciated how they kept the pace and we didn’t have to find our own table.
The food was sooooo good. We had huevos rancheros, chicken and waffles, tres leches French toast, and a breakfast burrito. The breakfast burrito was just ok but everything else was AMAZING. 🙌🏼 The michelada was the best I’ve ever had EVER. We ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice to go and were blown away. We all agreed that we’d stand in line for the OJ alone! Ugggghhh, it was all so good! I wish we didn’t live 3 hours away!!
OH, the staff were soooo friendly and handled everyone so beautifully. They’ve created something really special and unique there.“

“Best food and best service!“

“Great food, relaxed environment, great place.“

“Five stars. The food and service here are impeccable. New favorite neighborhood restaurant.“

“I love going to Five Star Chicken in Vallejo, I've actually recommended it to a lot of people. I love the food, it fills me up at a reasonable price point. Plus the customer service is excellent, way above average! I highly recommend you try this place out, you won't regret it.“

“Love the live music of the Ripplers And Secret Sauce!“

“The staff here were super friendly and nice. Had one of their famous cheese puff which had a sweet cheese inside. Also ate a pocket chicken pot pie, which was
warm and savory on the inside while being flaky and crispy on the outside. Loved both items I got! Will be coming back to try some of their other sweet items.

The indoor dining area is small, but there is bench seating outside. Sadly the FatApple’s restaurant next door is closed.“

“I enjoyed a delicious Pastrami & Turkey club sandwich Rosemary and Olive oil chips it came with a side salad I chose fresh fruit. I’ll be back and let me add the sandwich was so meaty I couldn’t finish it all.“

“Our Kingsmen group meets here once a month for breakfast. The food, service and atmosphere is always excellent. Denise is Usually our server and does an excellent job ensuring that our food and drink orders are correct and piping hot (cold drinks cold). She is always pleasant and friendly in spite of our large group. Thank you Denise, all the cooks, and wait-staff for making Sukie’s Country Kitchen an Institution for our community.
Bblessed and keep up the excellent work.

“I started going to Rrags in 2002 when my daughter started working there as a barrista. she received excellent training, earned enough to buy her laptop and most of her first car. the owners, and staff are very pleasant and welcome regulars and new customers with a smile.“

“O2 Eatery isn't just a place to eat—it’s a full-on spiritual experience. Calling this spot a restaurant feels like an understatement; it’s a masterclass in Mongolian cuisine from the second you walk through the door.
Their breakfast options are an absolute game-changer, cooked to absolute perfection and packed with rich, comforting, authentic flavor. Just when you think it can’t get better, their lunch menu takes things to a whole new level. The dishes are bold, insanely savory, perfectly seasoned, and served in massive portions that leave you completely satisfied yet already planning your next visit. The atmosphere is top-tier, the staff treats you like family, and the kitchen moves with unreal precision. Easily a 10/10—O2 Eatery is setting the standard for what incredible food should be.“

“We just want to say that Kim and Phillip did a great job for our Thanksgiving dinner. We will definitely be going back for their barbecue pork feast at Christmas can’t wait if it’s as good as Thanksgiving was it’s going to be a hit with the family.“

“Quiet spot, great food made to order. 5$ beers. The hazelnut peach chutney pork chop was delish. The corn fritters were light and sweet and the dipping sauce had perfect mouth heat. Friendly service. Overall a great spot that I hope does well.“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. It's clear they genuinely care about providing a great dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious! The mango margaritas are hands down my favorite, they're perfectly balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The chile rellenos plate was incredible, with flavorful peppers, delicious filling, and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I will definitely be coming back for the flavors and feeling of home.“
