The food was good, and the staff were polite.

There was a bit of difficulty placing our order due to the kiosk system, which made the ordering process slightly less straightforward.

Overall, it was a good visit.“

My sandwich always tastes and looks phenomenal! Thank you Veronica for always brightening up the day and making one delicious meatball marinara sandwich! Next time I'll have to remember to take a photo!“

“I have to say this Jack In the Box has the best staff in all of Marina. I frequent all the restaurants regularly and I have to say Gloria...is the kindest, human, beautiful person I have come across in a very long time. I am now devoted to Jack... McDonald's in Marina used to have nice staff but Matthew left and the manager there has denied EBT usage by saying the machine doesnt work. She is rude and makes the staff uncomfortable...people need jobs and we should be happy to serve...Gloria is a shining example. Give her a show of appreciation!!!“

“Came to this location on a chilly Tuesday evening just to order something small. food was fresh and delicious. The worker Ashley was super nice and kind. She would check on us and make us feel welcomed. Her smile is beautiful and i hope to see her again! Thanks again Ashley!“

“This is a solid place to get a burrito for the road. The staff is friendly. The Super Burrito is always good. But the quesadilla is soggy and the cheese on the Carne Asada fries is weird. I do love that it has a drive thru, though; so it's my go-to in Seaside.“

“Papa Chano's is a beloved local spot known for its hearty Mexican comfort food, generous portions, and friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere. Guests appreciate the authentic flavors, from sizzling fajitas and flavorful tacos to satisfying burritos and classic enchiladas. The casual setting and quick, welcoming service make it a reliable favorite for both locals and visitors looking for a satisfying meal.

“Absolutely delicious and very satisfying experience! The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and the service was quick and friendly. Everything tasted authentic and homemade, especially the tacos and enchiladas. Papa Chano’s is a great spot for anyone craving real, comforting Mexican food in Monterey!”“

“This has been our Taco Tuesday stop for months now. Their carnitas street tacos are wonderful. Better than beef, and you rarely hear me say that. Five tacos, a 4 oz. side of guacamole and one Mexican beer for under $20, perfect! You place your order at the counter and they call your number. Plenty of indoor seating, none outdoors.“

“Onion rings and frys cost the same. I always get Onion rings. 1st they are made fresh to order. 2nd they taste better. Recommend with ranch dipping sause. No real atmosphere in the drive through though.

Highly recommend ranch with breakfast Hashbrowns.“

“best old fashioned greasy burger around 😋 patio burger is the best“

Aceesible restrooms in central Cannery Row area and van accessible paid parking in garage“

“We had a good experience at Honey Berry.

We ordered a blended honeydew boba, and it was enjoyable.

The staff were polite, and the store seemed clean during our visit.

We did not have to wait long for our order.

Overall, it was a quick and pleasant drink stop.“

“To the last two employees tonight, April 11th, Thank you for making our samdwiches even after you had been closed for 11 minutes and things were being cleaned. I didnt get your names but you two are exceptional employees and hope the management recognizes you! ps the samdwiches were also made perfect!! Great Job Togo's!“

“Someone learned how to cook Sushi 🍣 Rice! Decided to give Poke House another chance for redemption, and they came through! Ono!! Shoots!!!“

“I love El Pollo Loco. I eat at El Pollo Loco everywhere I go. I live in the Hayward area, and they get a LOT of my business. I highly recommend it. The chicken is grilled, not fried, and is not greasy. Put it together with the ingredients they use, such as Mexican style rice and beans and you've got a delicious, satisfying meal. Best part is it's more sensibly priced than KFC. The Salinas location did not disappoint. I'm visiting from my home area and loved the burrito I ate here today.“

“The food here is always great. We always call a head of time just to make sure the chow mein and orange chicken is ready sometimes it sells out QUICK! The atmosphere can be a be loud and hectic, but it’s. A great place. We get our food to go.“

“The online ordering made it easy. I'd rather not have to interact with anyone. Ordered and paid online through their app, which was easy to use. Went to pick it up and it was ready at the front for me. Easy. I ordered some breakfast crunchwraps. Highly recommended the Cali one.“

“Dametra Fresh provided lunch for volunteers at California Roots Festival this year. The food was so fresh and mouth watering! Providing for the volunteers is so special and means the world to us! Highly recommend if you want yummy food and kind hearts.“

“Jesus, I think he’s the manager, if not he should be, has always gone above and beyond. He’s always kind and thoughtful especially on one of my hardest day. I was spending the last day with my old dog, & made a stop at BK. Jesus showed compassion by listening to our story and offered my puppy a pup cone, which I didn’t even know you had! He was able to enjoy his last moments with a sweet treat. Thank you for giving us a forever memory 💕“

“Ahh… a trip to Taco Bell, it’s always a gamble , a 50/50 it either goes exactly how you expect and hope to experience Taco Bell… or your trip to Taco Bell can go completely in the other direction. After a long day of travel, I found this Taco Bell in Seaside with my companion, we went to town on those ordering tablets, and this Taco Bell delivered, great food, environment, and refuge before falling again spell to highway hypnosis.“

“Wendys - if yall like the food the Seaside one is an excellent Wendys. Chili is spicy/sweet, Baconators are big and not flat, the fries with skin on and good and well salted. We were not disappointed, our favorite Wendys foods are prepared with care, here. Good job.“

“An employee working there has 17 years in that location.. everything he makes is made with gratitude and appreciation with love from within.

Vegetarian options: All veggie subs available

Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions are accommodated if applicable

Parking: Park in front or around the corner. No parking problems

Kid-friendliness: As far as I know. Children are welcome!“

“Went for the new smash burger combo. Sat at the drive in booth for 15 minutes pressing the button. Realized I had run out of time and went through the drive thru instead, was served instantly. Food was good because its sonic but the original roller blade experience has been left in 2012.“

“Blanca took my order in drive through .
She was very attentive, polite, my food was very much fresh 😋 and delicious as always 😋 .
Sometimes I walked to the park and after that, I stopped by This 🍗 KFC, because this is my favorite location 😋 😍
My baby and I really enjoyed this chicken 🐔 😋“

“They're always wonderful, kind, quick, and so friendly. I've always loved subway, and I've been to many, all over the continent and a few overseas... this is by far my favorite.

there is a shorter, a little older, extremely kind, woman who works there and has for many years. She was there back when I was living out of the area and my visits home she would let me practice my (awful) Spanish to order my sandwich so I wouldn't forget (since I lived where there were virtually ZERO Spanish as a first language speaking people 🤦🏼‍♂️). Now that I'm home, and i order it through the app mostly, she always makes me feel confident in knowing my sandwich is going to be exactly what I ordered and never misses a chance to say "hola" as I pick up and go. She not only deserves to be recognized as an amazing employee - she deserves a raise. I would go out of the way to get a sandwich from her, as opposed to any other subway or sandwich shop. Honestly.“

“My wife and I will be paying a visit to the Presidio in a few weeks. We have many fond memories there from 1986/1987 when I was a Polish student and she was a Czech student, both of us U.S. Army. We met there and were married in Pacific Grove on our lunch hour. In our minds it's a magical place (and a superb language school) that expanded our horizons. We're returning to the U.S. after many years overseas.“

“This Jack in the Box is an oasis in the food desert that is lower Munras avenue. Who has time for delicious meals cooked from scratch at way better eateries like The Wild Plum, Krua Thai or even The Great Wall? I know I don't. Just this week I grabbed two tacos for the wifey, a spicy Jack wrap for yours truly, hamburgers for the kids and a large curly fries for the whole family in less time than it took to write this review. I don't get high anymore but if I did I'd hit that l8 night stoner menu fo sho.“

“I was driving through Salinas and I was a bit peckish. Wanting to grab a quick bite without breaking the bank, I saw this Subway. So off I go. The place was clean, staff provided good customer service, and the sandwich was delicious. It's comforting to know that I can go any Subways and get the same quality sandwich and reasonable prices. And this location did just that.

I sat inside to eat, it was clean and comfortable. The AC was cranking. There were a steady stream of customers eating in, the staff kept the dining room clean. The shop is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. They are located on the corner of South Main Street (Route 68) and Nissen Road. The only glitch, in my visit, was that the restroom was out of order but there was a plumber there working on the issue.“

“About 11.40 Monday July 24 2023 there was only one female worker she had a long line. The lady had a smile on her face. Fast but not sloppy. Great worker. I was impressed. Fast and yet attented everyone with a smile. You hardly ever see that.“

“I had a good experience at McDonald’s. Ordering ahead through the mobile app helped make the process quick and smooth during my visit.

The parking lot looked clean, the line moved quickly, and the staff were friendly throughout the experience.

This location also provided paper straws instead of plastic ones.

Overall, it was a fast and convenient stop with no major issues during my visit.“

“Amazing crews,got my food quick. Definitely going back“

“Loving the new sub place and it’s taken me so long to leave this overdue review. As I was looking for their phone number to call and see if they had power since power has been going off in the area, I was simply appalled at how many ignorant reviewers there are. As someone who has served in the hospitality business for well over 15 years, the water cup, the complaining about teenagers learning their first job, to the water cups, all these one star reviews from Karen’s are petty. Complaining about water cups when there is a Starbucks next door is redundant. Complaining about kids learning on the job is also redundant. Complaining about “possible” cross contamination- you can tell when people are completely ignorant to state protocols. Every time I’ve been into this establishment, and interacted with the staff, I immediately get the validation that these “kids” understand how important my business and my health is to them. They are proudly working to make my experience an unforgettable and safe one. From watching them wipe EVERYTHING down (and holding up the line) to ensure GF guests are safely served, to switching out gloves to ring me up- not sure why none of these people have a conversation with any of them- Adrian, the GM, will tell you himself how he prides himself on coaching these kids to help them develop their characters as they navigate through school and work. Whether they have someone from corporate or not, I’ve been here plenty of times to say that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting their corporate leaders, they always make you feel like you’re a friend who’s just in for a delicious sandwich, whether my sandwich touched lettuce from the previous sandwich or not, is irrelevant. As long as my sandwich wasn’t made on the floor, I always feel safe ordering a sub from people who take public safety, serious. People need to stay at home and make their own sandwiches if they’re not happy with the store’s protocols, at least your dogs and cats aren’t rolling around this establishment.“

“This location is good for late night , but only drive-thru is open. I mostly use the app to order ahead & usually I’m able to get in and out within 5 min or less. Interaction with employees are pleasant and friendly. Depending on the time of day if you dine in can be really busy , although others might not tend to clean their area when done eating . I do clean my area when finished eating & usually the staff is good about cleaning up the dining when need be.

Only suggestion is that their fountain drinks aren’t consistently good. On multiple different visits to this location , the sugar in the soda is very minimal. It’s as if you’re drinking carbonated water with a hint of flavor , so I don’t get drinks from
This location anymore.“
