“The food inside is delicious and healthy portions. The service here is great too!“

“Friends here visiting and found this gem of a place! Best thing is we didn’t have to go far! Food was delicious!“

“Seriously, this place is a true find from the sandwich heavens.
They take such meticulous care with every sandwich, and everyone there is genuinely caring. I’ve already gone off the freeway twice just to come back and eat there again, and each time it’s been just as wonderful.
I had the Rib Roast the first time, man what a sandwich, good amount of meat that you can taste the flavor, tomato, layered on the entire bread kept it so moiost delicious. Then the Italian, swapping the salami for mortadella (a perfect switch). The sandwich is perfectly moist, tastey, full of flavor, loved it.
Oh, the lettuce, they do an entire side salad with dressing and put it on the sandwich, unreal. I appreciate this place and recommend it to everyone who cares about a great sandwich.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Truly a gem in the East Bay. It’s tucked away and easy to drive past (like I did the first time I went). They have a large variety on the menu ranging from pasta, to burgers, to Mexican food. I had the Jambalaya Cajun Pasta and my friend had Al Pastor tacos. The tacos were flavorful, and the pasta was very good and filling. Definitely recommend if you have a picky family and don’t want to make multiple stops for dinner.“

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

“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.“

“It's a small dining area, so was kind of tight but the food was good so I didn't mind. We ordered the seafood omelette, which included shrimp, salmon, bay scallops, cheese and tomatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly. It came with seasoned potatoes, and two large fluffy biscuits that melted in my mouth. The staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be a repeat customer.“

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

“So I have the cheeseburger and garlic fries. The garlic is not just a powdered sprinkled on it is actually handmade and put on the fries it is phenomenal. And the amount of fries they give you wow they're just over the top. The cheeseburger that I got had real beef. Not the stuff you see at McDonald's this is real beef like what you buy at your own barbecue at home. A cheeseburger and fry filled me up. The fries were crispy and not limpy like most other restaurants. When coming here you're going to get a quality meal. I'm going to be coming back here I hope you will too.“

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

“I love going to Duo Grill for brunch. They have really good food, the service is great, you get your food right away and it's never crowded. Honestly, it is such an underrated place.
I always ask for spicy chilaquiles and they never dissapoint. Their beans are also the best!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent customer service from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the entire visit. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with great flavor and quality in every dish.

I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great breakfast and a positive dining experience. I will definitely be coming back.“

“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.

“Came here on a Monday morning around 945am, and there was a sign saying their dine-in location is in El Cerrito, whereas this location in Berkeley is a bakery. I was looking for a sit-down kind of place so I moved on I’m figuring I’ll be back, but wanted folks to know about this in case like me you were looking for a different dining experience. (To management: please clarify if what I’m saying is inaccurate. Thanks)“

“Randy, thank you so much for your kindness, as well for your incredibly delicious food! The lobster rangoon, the pesto pizza, the double smash
cheeseburgers! I wish I'd better words to describe how wonderful this all was. Thank you 🙏“

“Applebee’s in Vallejo is SOOOOOOO Much Better Than Applebees In Pinole, I WILL NOT Go There EVER. Landon Was TOP NOTCH. She Constantly Came To Check On Me. In Pinole I CONSTANTLY Had To Ask Other Servers, Where Is My Server. I Truly Wasn’t Happy & Felt Like Leaving Right In The Middle Of My Meal.“

“You enter through a walkway full of displays. Then a beautiful patio, up a ramp where you can grab a menu and wait in line. You place your order at the register and get a number. We found a table, grabbed ourselves water and waited for food to come out as its made. Luckily we were sharing plates so it didn’t matter how long between dishes.“

“Great Take and Bakes! Amazing cookies! Genuine Goodness is a special gem in the little town of Orinda.“

“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.“

“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“

“Delicious food. Great to find lovely outdoor seating.“

“Very Spacey the only thing they need to improve is air conditioning they don't have air conditioning in there I guess you have to bring your own but was clean nice the day we went in it was really busy as hell besides that my son loves it that's the only thing that matters“

“Dining with Abstract Table is an art experienced through the eyes and palette. Each course was beautifully and thoughtfully created to delight the senses. I can’t wait to see what they dream up next!“

“Delicious and portions are huge“

“Great bands, friendly staff, excellent vibes“

“Love this place and my pizza was the ultimate!!!“

“Nice little neighborhood bar in downtown Benicia off first street. Open pretty late but still closes earlier than 2am. They have late night eats, TVs, and a happy hour menu. The bartenders were friendly and helped us with our drinks and their food menu didn’t look bad. Both indoor and outdoor space. Parking isn’t too hard as there is plenty of street parking around this area. Their starburst, gummy bear, and green tea shots during happy hour are $5 and pretty tasty and sweet.“

“Honestly, best chicken in town and there’s a lot of options! Their ranch is really good also. Pretty sure this is the only place I’ll be getting a chicken sandwich from now on as long as they can stay consistent with their food and service.“
