“Halal House simply is the best for the plates! Chicken over rice and Gyro! I even got two Gyro pita wraps today. Its affordable, quick bite to heat right near CSUN. I also saw that they have burgers! Really good size and taste. This is my go to spot for halal food near Northridge, honestly.😀I“

“Food is consistently excellent and the service is also great.“

“We came to Paragon Bar and Grill for brunch right after my daughter’s graduation from CSUN. I found the place through a quick internet search and didn’t really know what to expect, but I was able to make a reservation online for a party of 13 with no issue. Our reservation was right when they opened at 11am on a Sunday, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves—just a couple of people at the bar. The space definitely leans more bar than grill, but it worked well for our group. Very low-key and relaxed. The menu had plenty of options, which was great since we had a few picky eaters. Everyone found something they liked, and the food was excellent across the board. The service stood out—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We didn’t order many drinks, but even so, I was surprised at how reasonable the bill was for such a large group. Only downside: the bathroom could use a refresh. It’s what you’d expect in a neighborhood bar—functional but not the highlight of the visit. Would absolutely go back. Great experience overall, and I really appreciate the staff for helping make the day special.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“When you are in California and you’re hungry for something fast delicious and affordable, In N Out is the place to be. If you are adventurous try your burger animal style, better yet, make your fries animal style. You can also request protein style or with ketchup & mustard. Make it a double double and add a shake or two… now you’re eating Cali style. Peace & love“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“

“We went to Black Angus with our family to say bye to my college bound granddaughter. The service was great and the food was very good. Prices are very fair for a steakhouse. It's a bit of a drive for me but I think it's worth it!!“

“The waiter was very nice. The food was hit and tasty. The restaurant was very clean.“

“Denny’s is a pleasant place to eat. I like the ambiance and it’s very clean. Great food and great server 🥰 My server is MARISSA. She let me seat with a friendly smile 😊 then a few minutes she came back and ask my order and drink 🍹 my ordered food 🥞🥗came out quickly, hot, delicious and satisfied 👍. Marissa walked by frequently to check on me and ask if I need something or order something. She always make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend MARISSA for a reward due to her skills, a hard working server, and a great asset to this DENNY’s restaurant. To sum up, I will come again and enjoy my food.“

“The first time I walked into In-N-Out Burger, I honestly didn’t understand what all the hype was about. The menu was surprisingly small, the line was long, and everyone seemed far too excited about a burger. But curiosity won, and I ordered.

A few minutes later, I was sitting in my car with a Double-Double, fresh fries, and a cold drink. One bite changed everything. The vegetables tasted like they had just been picked, the burger was hot and juicy, and nothing felt frozen, artificial, or overcomplicated. It reminded me of a time when fast food was actually made fresh instead of assembled from ingredients that had been sitting around all day.

Since then, In-N-Out has become one of those places I always return to. Not because it’s fancy, but because it stays true to what it does. The recipe hasn’t been buried under dozens of gimmicks and limited-time promotions. It’s simple, consistent, and somehow always hits the spot.

I’ve eaten at countless burger places across California, and many of them charge twice as much while delivering half the experience. In-N-Out proves that you don’t need a giant menu or luxury prices to make customers happy. You just need fresh ingredients, friendly employees, and the discipline to do the basics exceptionally well.

Every city has restaurants that come and go. In-N-Out feels different. It feels like a California tradition that has survived because it never forgot why people came in the first place.“

“Buenas atención todo muy bien“

“Los empleados muy atentos y limpieza todo ellos“

“CCC recently changed their green and red salsa recipe and I’ve got to say it is super delicious. The previous recipe was okay, but this new recipe is so good I had to write a review. I always order from them for the food,but this salsa is very very good. The salsas are now Roasted. Keep it up.“

“I've only had Honeybaked for holidays. Went there for lunch today. Oh my that was the best ham sandwich I've ever had. I never finish my meals but I ate the whole thing. And the potato salad was so good. I'm so stuffed but my mouth still wants more because it was so tasty. 10 stars!“
