“Abigail has made my pizza several times. She has made my experience worth coming back each time. She remembers my name without asking and the items I like on my pizza. The staff at this restaurant is great. The restaurant is always clean.“

“I said it on Yelp and I’ll say it again!

The service here is great Veronica is always helpful whenever I go in to order! She's positive and offers remarkable customer service! The location is kept so clean! 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 was not prepared for the interior. By far the coolest Taco Bell I have ever been to, and probably ever visit. The decor and design of the restaurant is straight out of a 50's era diner.

I was greeted by a staff member when I entered and the food was pretty good. I highly recommend visiting this sure. I hope will certainly stop by again if I am nearby.“

Or if an item(s) were missing or possibly not to the customers satisfaction --- they will make sure it's corrected.“

“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!!!“

“It was better than the Salinas restaurant. They were also very friendly.“

“it's a nice place to eat💯“

“Best hamburgers. Very fresh tasting.“

“good food. good musi. Service was wonderful“

“Papa Chanos never disappoints! First thing I noticed walking in was how clean the restaurant was — seriously spotless. We ordered burritos, asada fries, quesadillas, and beans and rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were way bigger than expected — those quesadillas were LOADED. We got so much more food than we anticipated, which is always a win!
My son ordered the bean burrito and gave it a solid 10/10 — his words, not mine — and honestly I couldn’t argue with him. It was that good. The asada fries and beans and rice were just as satisfying.
The free chips and salsa bar is such a great touch. Fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to start the meal while you wait. Speaking of waiting — we barely had to! Our food came out super fast, which is impressive considering how fresh and well-made everything tasted.
If you’re looking for a go-to Mexican spot with great food, generous portions, and a clean, welcoming environment, Papa Chanos is it. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Just great 🍔 burgers! Service was excellent“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I'm in town for business and my partner and I happened to go in for dinner yesterday. Went back again this evening. Will be going by tomorrow to try a breakfast burrito before I leave town.
Growing up, I was very fortunate to have friends with mothers and grandmothers who were always making tortillas, corn and flower. There is nothing like fresh handmade tortillas.
This place is absolutely phenomenal. I am almost fifty years old and I have never gone to a Mexican restaurant that tastes homemade. I finally have. I cannot say enough good things about this food and the people that work there. This place is almost three hours from where I live and I'll be coming here as many times as I can.
Thank you guys for making this trip truly special.“

“This one always pays attention to product quality and presentation ❤️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I love salad vegetables, drink chicken sandwich , fries,“

“Wetzel’s Pretzels, Monterey

August 2026
My family decided to stop by and get their Cheesy Dog Bites and their Cin-A-Bitz. I think the Cheesy Dog Bites are new and they were absolutely delicious! The Cin-A-Bitz also came out piping hot and very buttery!

The place was packed but for good reasons! It was cold outside so I’m sure everyone just wants something hot to snack on.

Highly recommend to get these items. I would return if I’m in the area again.“

“We had a good experience visiting El Pollo Loco.

The food was good, and the staff were polite during our visit. There was also plenty of seating available inside the restaurant, making it easy to find a place to sit.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal, although the price felt a little high for what we received.“

“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.“

“We ordered the Classic Falafel Wrap and a Make Your Own Wrap to go, and both were absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and was made with quality ingredients.
The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Great food, great service, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“We stopped coming here about a year ago because it just wasn’t what it used to be. It’s usually kinda bad… but out of desperation, we went back one time and it was great! My husband went back a different day to order and hopefully run into the person who made it last time to let him know he did great. The sandwiches were once again perfect and he got Dylan’s name and this review is for Dylan! We will be back if we see him working“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 💕“

“Foods ok serving size is not they get a spoon full to put on your plate and then shake half of it out and then give it to you I like the walnut shrimp that they charge you more for and then give you 4 or 5 shrimp come on put some shrimp in there and then if you say anything to them they just look at you with a blank stare like your crazy other than that its pretty good pretty crowded in there“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Busy place but they manage to get through everyone quickly. Even has a drive through. Much good to say about this place, only thing I was uncomfortable with was that the busier it gets the more people are packed in together, even for the patrons eating there they have another one standing right next to their table, too close for comfort for me. Other than that, I fully recommended“

“I love eating here. The honey walnut shrimp is my favorite! We've eaten here twice, and i can't wait to go back. The servings are great for the price! It's clean and kid friendly. The staff are friendly as well. It's right next to trader Joe's and across is Chipotle. The parking isn't that bad either.“
