“Six-Eleven is a fantastic addition to the Martinez dining scene! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere and a staff that truly goes above and beyond.
The food here is simply incredible. I highly recommend the Braised Short Rib Pappardelle - it’s a flavor explosion that will leave you wanting more. The Market Greens Salad with Grilled Salmon is another standout, perfectly balancing fresh greens with succulent fish.
But save room for dessert! Their dessert menu is to die for. The Mixed Berry Tart is a delightful burst of fruity goodness, while the Banana Bread Pudding and Tiramisu are pure indulgence. It’s hard to choose a favorite!
What really sets Six-Eleven apart is their exceptional staff. Cory, the bar manager, is a master mixologist who can whip up any drink you desire. Sarah, Andrew, Jamaica, Jewel, Clair, Clara, Lindsay, Brittany, and Matt are all incredibly friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Honestly, everyone here is fantastic and contributes to making your dining experience memorable.
The restaurant offers a great ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating options, and there’s even live music on some nights. Parking is a breeze, with metered spots that are free on weekends.
Six-Eleven is still relatively new, so there might be a slight wait for food during busy times, but trust me, it’s worth it. They’re constantly working on improvements, and their commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of the restaurant.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, or a new favorite spot for great food and drinks, Six-Eleven delivers on all fronts. I can’t wait to come back and try more items from their menu!“

“The General Chicken 左宗雞 had several stand-out qualities. First, the sauce used to stir-fry the chicken was rich, flavorful, and balanced—both tangy and sweet with just the right amount of heat. The portion size was generous, with plenty of chicken to go around, which I appreciated. Another plus was the way the broccoli was incorporated. There weren't too many pieces, and they were the same size as the chicken, making it easy and pleasant to eat together.

That said, the chicken lost its crispiness due to the steam inside the takeout container. By the time I dug in, the once-crispy coating had become soft and was falling off the chicken, which was a bit of a letdown.

I also ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice 蝦炒飯 , and while the flavor was absolutely fantastic, I did encounter a minor issue with the shrimp. A couple of them still had their digestive tracts intact, which I had to remove before eating. Although it's a small detail, it detracted from the otherwise great experience.“

“What a great find on a quick work trip to Benecia! I wish there were more stars to give!

Baxter’s has a welcoming vibe when you first walk in, and it gets even better after you meet some of the team! My server, Michelle, absolutely made the evening for me! She had some great menu suggestions and top-notch service and was great to chat with! Kenneth also made sure that everything tasted great, and I was enjoying my visit! Hats off to the Chef and her ability to create some unique dishes!

I appreciated the menu, which has a little bit of everything. I instantly got that feeling that I was in for a treat. To kick things off, I went with the Baked Brie En Croute, which was outstanding! My main entree was a tough choice, though. There was a special, Gumbo Pasta, which I had never encountered before and piqued my interest. Let me tell you, this special should be on the menu, and if it is available when you stop in, it's a must!

I was torn about dessert, but I went with the New Orleans Bread Pudding at Michelle's suggestion! I'm sure all the desserts are fantastic, but this one has got to be at the top of the list!

All in all, if you can swing by Baxter’s, don't pass it up! Well worth it!“

“Great spot for a drink or a quick bite! On some days there is live music and the people-watching never disappoints!

Vegetarian options: Not Vegan or necessarily vegetarian friendly.

Parking: Parking is generally easy. There are plenty of side streets when the main street is full. There are no parking meters in this town ?“

“You have to go at least once. I like the staff and the bar is close to the water with good outdoor seating available. They have bar food but have a good dinner as well. During the warmer months, they had outdoor music on Sunday's, but the owner was talking about getting some full-time entrainment at some point.

Parking: Parking can be tough at times

Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed, just not at the bar.“

“great people. amazing beer.“

“I've been coming to OL for years. Nice relaxed atmosphere with a little music. Jake and the staff are knowledgeable and are constantly sourcing great beer. Prices are a bit high, and I wouldn't mind seeing some happy hour specials.“

“Step into the enchanting ambiance of this bar where every sip is a journey of flavor. With an array of amazing cocktails crafted to perfection, you'll be spellbound by the mixologist's expertise. And as if the drinks weren't enticing enough, the staff here are the epitome of charm and allure, making every visit a delight for the senses.“

“Great selection of beers and wine. I've been back 2 times(many times now) and have had a great time each visit. Nice place to watch sports. The bartenders are all nice, friendly and attentive.I still need to explore the food menu. To be continued...Part 2: the food is amazing for bar food and the menu has many different types to choose from; Burgers, wings, lumpia, wraps, and much more. They offer many different dipping sauces. And some are uniquely made in house.They also offer free wi fi ???Update to review: The food has gotten even better! You will find a full menu with about 50 items and specials every night to keep things new. Every thing I've ordered has been almost gourmet level and delicious. The ownership is doing a superb job on the menu and food preparation.“

“The Owners of this bar are super unique spirits full of awesomeness.. and they provide Live Music, which is so important in this world full of stress and chaos. Also, they kept the feel of the old Toots...and walking into familiar atmospheres is a great sense of comfort and family.“

“Comfortable seating, great service and food.“

“Hi from Kristiansand,Norway. My sister Elynn took me there a few years ago and every time I come to visit it's a must to go see Moe and some of the friends there that I have gotten to know. Was there February 2025. Greets from Norway.“

“Nice place to hang out and watch some live music. Was there to play the club with my band Midnight Sinfini. The sound system wasn't high tech so the sound could have been better but was a really fun place to play a show. I would consider playing here again.“

“Great sitting and nice clean movie theatre 🎥🎥🎥“

“Club Tac in Crockett, CA, is a hidden gem that pleasantly surprises with its eclectic atmosphere. The unpredictable charm keeps you on your toes, and the friendly service adds a welcoming touch. Don't miss the chance to indulge in the delicious Italian sausage sandwich – a must-try that leaves a lasting impression. The pool table adds to the entertainment, so be sure to bring some extra dollars for a game or two. Christina, the talented cook and owner, is the mastermind behind the crispiest fries you'll ever taste. If you find yourself in the quaint town of Crockett, a visit to Club Tac is a culinary adventure waiting to happen.“

“It was great to celebrate a birthday dinner with family. The food was amazing, as was the staff. This has become my favorite place to take people in the East Bay by far. Had a friend reach out from Japan and say all he can think about is the Chicken Parm!“

“Very beautiful atmosphere lovely people! Pool table for tournaments and fun, cards as well. Serves wine and beer, smoking outside with seating, also bar cat comes around here and there and I think it's the best. Will most definitely come more often! I give this place five stars.“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“Reading these reviews, the good ones, bring back wonderful memories of the past. I was there most Friday afternoon/evenings from 90 to 93 when stationed at CSTSC Mare Island as an instructor. Great to see this place still in business. Great people then and apparently now.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff, great food!“

“Came here with my boyfriend as we heard they have a great happy hour and they sure did! We enjoyed a half yard, a cocktail each, a shot each (get the Friday night vibe right lol) 2 poke nachos (our favorite) & off the happy hour we got shitake mushroom noodles which were SO good! Atmosphere was lively, service was good! Definitely a nice spot to have some good food and catch some sports or to just hangout.

Parking: Parking is at the Veranda shopping center so parking is can be difficult at times but it’s a given with the location.“

“Couldn’t be happier with this place, great vibes and a lot of care put into the food and drinks. Everything was delicious and high quality but particular favourites are the mint julep, apple pie old fashioned and burrata ?? it’s a real treat for people who are serious about their drinks too!“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“

“Loved the atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty brunch!“

“Well prepared menu, staff are fantastic“

“Had a great time. Other bars were closing at 9pm on a Sunday and these guys were open until 2. I've been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. Tucked away in a parking lot off of the main street. Turn down sos drive and left into the parking lot halfway down the hill, and you'll find it.“

“of course its excellant.. it belongs to my #6 son.......“

“My friend found this place for Happy Hour and it’s been my favorite place ever since. I always get the pickle chips. So good if it’s hot. Tacos are decent too! I’m not an onion rings fan but they service good rings. Wings are decent. Wings are huge and only $5 during HH.Drinks are good. The only con is everything is salty so you drink more. It’s not overly salted, it’s just a lot of salt overall.“

“Yummy food, good service and nice atmosphere.“

“Excellent! We had a great experience!“

“Been here about 4 times and honestly the tribute bands have all been quite impressive & fun. We’ve seen tribute bands to The Smiths, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, De Peche Mode, Alice In Chains here. We also have noticed that the audience here are generally unusually friendly.
We’ve seen a few regulars while here & folks are open to chat, vibe in the music, really fun which is a welcome change from some unwelcoming “ too cool” crowds in other joints.
Parking was easy in the back, drink prices are reasonable, there are places to sit & chill and some cool video & pinball games too. When patio is open there’s been food trucks - this last visit they didn’t have any -but did allow us to DoorDash our own food. We had lots of Palomas & beers while listening to live music - great time!“

“Delicious pizza, great salad, and outdoor seating. Our favorite pizza place!“

“The place offers a great vibe that’s perfect for a casual outing or a special occasion. The service is excellent - friendly and attentive staff with beautiful smiles, make the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The menu has a good selection of dishes, ensuring there’s something for everyone, and the food is consistently well-prepared. Salad bowls and juicy burgers can be a great pick. Some good deserts to choose from.

The main dining area is spacious and thoughtfully designed, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. For those who enjoy dining al fresco, the patio is a nice touch. Parking is convenient with a pay-as-you-go option available in the back.

Overall, Batch & Brine is a solid choice for good food and great ambiance here in Lafayette!“

“Delicious food and desserts. I loved the cocktails too.“

“Spectacular !! Super fun. Great food. Bend over backwards to make sure your happy service. Love this place. Just not quite sure what to call it. Baxter’s - The Speakeasy - or The Office. Whatever they’re calling themselves, they’re great.Try the scallops . . . and the bread pudding.“

“It was my first time at the Beverly Elks Lodge. The have a full bar and kitchen if you're hungry. I was there because on Wednesday nights, for a nominal charge of $10, they teach Chicago Style Steppin' . I has a great time and met some new friends. I can't wait to go back next week.“
