“Caspers, with a C, is the best hot dogs around. There are several locations around the area. Just happened to stumble on this one. Service is fast. Facility is clean . Old time malt shop feel. Nothing fancy just good dogs.”

“I really like clam chowder and a sourdough bowl. Their sourdough bread is yummy! Soft inside and lightly crispy outside. Salads are really good - fresh ingredients.”

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️”

“Consistently delicious! I’ve been here 4 times now and every visit has been amazing. We ordered the Chicken Kaarage, Honey Bunny roll, salmon carpaccio, and gyoza. All were phenomenal and the vibe of the space is very relaxing with nooks of privacy intentionally provided.
I am glad they put in such effort to provide quality meals, great customer service, and awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“Pedimos diferentes platos y todo estuvo exquisito. Buen trato y excelente servicio. Recomendado 10/10”

“Saneh Bangkok is hands down my favorite Thai spot! The Pad Thai is perfectly balanced, the curry is incredibly rich and flavorful, and the Tom Kha soup is wonderfully comforting and authentic. Paired with a delicious, refreshing Thai tea, it was the perfect meal. Incredible food, great atmosphere, and excellent service—five stars all the way!”

“the chicken is the best around and the al pastor is to die for”

“excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa”

“We just had the most awesome breakfast at The Hangout in Martinez. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It had just the right amount of crunchy spicy sweet goodness. Fast and friendly service.”

“Walked in on a Tuesday evening and the thin-crust pepperoni looked textbook — almost translucent in spots, with the cheese browned just right at the edges from a gas deck oven. The sausage came fennel-forward and crumbled, not pre-formed, which made a noticeable difference with each bite.

Prices sit around $17-18 for a 14-inch specialty, which is fair for the quality. The counter service was quick and patient, even when I asked for half-and-half toppings. The seating is simple — a few booths and tables with a clean, uncluttered vibe. No gluten-free crust here last time I checked, just the regular dough and a solid sauce that leans slightly sweet.”

“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.”

“what a wonderful place to have breakfast I have not tried their lunch yet but it was so good and the portions are really big I really enjoyed myself with my family.”

“I’ve been coming to Giant Burger in Pleasant Hill for a long time, and the service is always excellent. Today, Lupe took care of me, and she was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. I truly appreciate the outstanding customer service she provided.

The restaurant is always clean, organized, and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable. Because of the great food, excellent service, and well-maintained environment, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Thank you to Lupe and the entire staff for consistently doing such a wonderful job. I will definitely be back and will continue recommending this restaurant to others.”

“Enjoy the beers and wonderful staff.”

“My husband and I have been customers since 2013 and now we've become good friends with the owners. The bagels are made fresh daily and always hits the spot for us. Service is wonderful, it's a must go to whenever our family is visiting in town.”

“We ate here and met the chef/owner. Everything was delicious and authentic! Its a small place located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Unfortunately we went by and it had a closed sign and look to be no longer in business.”

“The food is absolutely incredible! Fresh, flavorful, and some of the best Italian cuisine I’ve had. Every dish is made with care, and you can really taste the quality.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding staff. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home.”

“Picked up from Zayn's Pizza & Deli tonight. Got the Spicy Cajun Chicken sandwich on dutch crunch so tasty! Also had a slice of the Tandoori Chicken Pizza with added Banana Peppers and a slice of the Mascarpone Pep Pizza. They were both delicious! The friendly owner has put a lot of thought and time into the menu and making everything delicious. Will definitely be going back for more!”

“Line out the door. Lobby was standing room only. Drive thru was 35 cars deep. The staff and service was the same quality as always. 👍”

“Very friendly local vegan spot. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend! 😋”

“We went to a baby shower last Saturday. We sat outside which was lovely. The service and food is ALWAYS so good! They do not skimp on their portions! We have been coming here since 1985. Thanks Tony, you know how to do it right!”

“Amazing pizza and such wonderful people! The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the whole experience was great. Definitely a place worth visiting!”

“Fresh seafood. Everything done well here! Will come back!”

“never disappointed what ever I order. linguica sandwich is my fav for lunch. Denver omelet is my fav breakfast. the service is warm and friendly. wish it was closer. I live in Lafayette. but it is worth the drive”

“Food was so good and so very excellent. But the waiting is so so bad. Last time we waited for almost 40 minutes and when we checked it was in the food to go. We were so hungry but there’s one more problem. I ordered chicken enchilada for my husband and gave us cheese enchilada. We waited for the chicken enchilada and got it fast. We will still be back. Thanks”

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!”

“Walk in & you will know! Food is delicious”

“My wife and I get tacos here every Wednesday. Yes a day late but we can't help but love it. Ashley the hostess is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, knowledgeable and makes our experience special every time. This restaurant is family owned and operated and that is what makes it so great. The quality of their food is excellent and the service is even better. They have a full bar too so of that's something you're in to then it's definitely worth a visit.”

“Lovely ambiance, great food! Wonderful service! Great place for groups!”

“Finally went to this place. The food was fantastic. Service was great when we first arrived, but after ordering our food is when it began. I did not receive the correct empanadas. The ones I did receive were also great, so I said nothing. The paloma was slow to arrive. My husband's meal did not arrive until we were halfway done with ours. There was no checking in with us, and no offers of more water for our empty glasses. My husband finally got up to get someone for our check. They were apologetic and brought out some churros on the house. My shrimp tacos were amazing, and my son's tzunun salad looked amazing, too. Not sure how often we will be back. The service was not great and eating out is very expensive these days. For the prices paid, some beans or rice with tacos should not be an upcharge. Some chips and salsa should be included as well.”

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!”

“Nice atmosphere but the best part is the food. Great selection with some hard to find items. They definitely know how to spice the food - can’t be beat”

“Always such good food with so many choices. Always very friendly staff as well. Love eating here”

“Very fresh and would definitely recommend the Big Combo Appetizer (Shumai, Gyoza, Tempura & Yakitori) to go with your Meal. Very friendly people, satisfied with the Food and Service😋”

“Visiting from out of town and stumbled across this little place. The food was delicious and we were served quickly. Staff was attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend.”

“Never leave home hungry from this place. Coming here over 2 years. Food are amazing. My favorites are cucumber salad, Sichuan fish soup, it’s spicy - make sure you can handle real spice.
Julie & Swan are so sweet. They always give us the best service and very attentive.”

“Amazing atmosphere, and the Ramen is great. The only problem is the seaweed chip. It was like fish/matcha flavored tissue paper. The Ramen was a good, cozy bowl.”

“Let me say that I was completely impressed by the food quality it was great. It was Hands down one of the best burgers I have had in awhile. The price was good too better that most places for less taste.. the service was very fast and friendly and suggested mushrooms on my burger wich I’m glad I did.. it was overall a not cleaner inside this time the management repaired the booth that were ripped and I can see clearly out the windows great job by all here”

“Stopped here because we got into town late and most other places were closed. Very good food and will go back often when I come to town. Open 24 hours a day. Huge menu options.”

“This place is awesome. While the standard Tex-Mex tacos and burritos are great and have amazing flavors, make sure you try something unique. The Posole Verde is the best I've ever had, Haurache Asada will out you into a joyous food coma, the Caldo Tlapeno is a go to anytime I need comfort food, and there are so much more here. (And the deserts are worth every calorie!)”

“Their deep‑fried garlic chicken wings are incredibly tasty and aromatic. The fresh mango sago drink is refreshing and flavorful. The food‑drink pairing works perfectly. I will come back again soon.”

“Brunch with besties is already a treat, but here it's something really special. We had wonderful crepes, Turkish coffee, and it was my first time truing shakshuka. The atmosphere is soft and sumptuous, layered with rugs and sheepskin. The staff invited us to kick back and get cozy, and you can hardly help but relax and enjoy. Can't wait to come back!”

“It was the best curbside pickup experience that my van ever had! 2 Hand in Hand for Progress Day Program in Concord staff members ordered at least 1 item each!”

“Food is Delicious! Atmosphere is very nice and friendly! Try the Lemon Cake!!!!! This Place is everything you want in a Family Style Pizzeria!”

“Fabulously, delicious cupcakes for our daughters 7 year birthday party. Catastic! Thanks smallcakes!”

“Foods are delicious and has good serving sizes that can be shared with 2-4 people.

They accommodated changes to the menu like for example,I wanted bittermelon with fish instead of beef.

Ample parking.”

“A lot of places around here do decent pho, and this one is solid across the board. The beef pho is consistently good. The chicken has a slightly different style that works really well, especially when you’re not feeling great. The vegetarian is better than most pho spots manage, which is nice if you’re ordering for someone who doesn’t eat meat.

The bún bò Huế is also good, and I usually swap in egg noodles. Appetizers have all been fine.

I mostly stick to pho here and haven’t had a bad bowl.”

“YUM!!! That’s all I have to say! I LOVE the food here! Healthy, tasty, and pricing is decent for the amount you receive (bowls).”

“Staff are very friendly and polite
Food is amazing
The French toast are very unique
Definitely recommend this place and if I’m ever back in town I will definitely visit them again
It’s a good spot to let time go by if you’re waiting for events and they are kid friendly”

“Recently tried this place while visiting from out of town- so sad I won’t have this back home! Great food, really convenient, & got our food fast, have to try the churrasco the sauce is ��”

“Staff went above and beyond to get my order ready when I accidentally placed it for a later time.

The food is always great and staff is always friendly! I love the breakfast burritos 🌯”

“I just visited Pho Vietnam and had such a great experience! I ordered the chicken noodle soup and egg rolls — everything was absolutely delicious. The broth was flavorful and comforting, and the egg rolls were perfectly crispy and fresh.

The staff was also very kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re craving great Vietnamese food!”

“Service was fast and friendly! My Hot Pastrami sandwich was hot and...pastrami! Delicious as always!”

“The fastest and best tasting boba in the area! I always get my drink within 2 minutes, as long as it's not too busy. The oreo milik tea w boba or blended lemon refreshers are a must try”

“Crack Bread is frigging Awesome Buy in Bulk”

“While I hate to cheat on Martinez, CJ's is a larger, more sophisticated but not too, version of our once Ferry Street and a far less dysfunctional version of Whiskey Lane, the latter of which I frequented to write until I found CJs where you can meet new great people, or sit in your corner and write. All folks are good folks at CJs. And that's my run on sentence on that matter.”

“Food and service have always been great. We usually take out (online ordering with the app is very convenient), but atmosphere is also very good. If I would recommend anything, maybe more room and parking for the busy times?”

“The first time you were able and you had to do something about the situation you had with your family you had a good relationship and I think that you had to do that with the kids because I know that you had a bad experience and you were trying and I think you had a great ? and you were right to say it but I don’t know what to tell him about it and you have a lot more than that and you know I’m”

“Great bar. Met my fiancé there we have so many memories there. Great shots, dancing, djs, pool, taco Tuesday and more. Its a lovely place to be!”

“I had the flourintine benidict and it was amazing.💖 I will be going back”

“The best BBQ I’ve ever had. No other place comes close in my opinion. The service was great all the employees were friendly and I even met the owner and she’s the nicest person I’ve met. She’s huge on giving back to the community as well. Great place for families and dates.”

“Amazing place good for friends and family ❤️”

“We've been going every Wednesday and it's been great. They switch out trucks every other week or so. Plenty of parking, there's a band that plays and there are some picnic tables as well as plenty of lawn area to sit at”

“Excellent cookies and friendly customers service would recommend to everyone locally and visitors. A gem we have in Hayward!”

“Tried their shrimp tacos and they were delicious. The portion was pretty good and filling. The salsas at the salsa bar were really good especially the green salsas and the orange sauce.”

“We enjoyed our meal. They were certainly generous with the fries!!”

“Great coffee simply the best”

“Extremely clean and well organized. User friendly concept . Well trained diverse staff. Overall quality of croissant is decent 7/10 , the combinations and toppings is what makes it a winner. Apple tart is proper. Will be returning .”

“We get takeout from here every couple of months when we get together for our weekly movie night. We get 4 or 5 orders of BBQ mixed grill and several orders of fried shrimp and share it. It feeds about 8 or 10 of us and everyone likes it.”

“Great local bbq/deli/meat market. You can get any type of meat from raw brisket, their famous marinated ball tip, I've even seen gator for sale here before. They also have packages that are great if you're going camping that will contain eggs and other protein so you can pay one price and head out. They make one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Not into meat? They also have salad options and seasoned fries in various flavors. The staff is very friendly as well as knowledgeable and will gladly assist you with any questions.”

“Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere.

Ordered the beef bulgogi udon and beef bulgogi kimbap. Absolutely amazing. Very filling and reasonably priced.

Would definitely come back here and order more.”

“the best cheese steaks!! we live down the street from the Sunnyvale location. we eat there all the time. they never disappoint!! but I started eating at the SF location since 2008. still bomb”

“Its a family run cafe that is quiet and feels so chill and local. Very nice decorations and clean. I liked the hand written board. I felt the prices were perfectly reasonable and I was able to get some work done and find a seat without issue. Ill be back for sure”

“This place is so popular! I went on a Saturday night and there was a pretty constant stream of groups coming in to grab the yogurt. It’s clean, all the flavors/machines were functioning and all the toppings were well stocked and clean/fresh. There were some seating as well. There’s probably enough space in there for a few more seats along the wall on one side, but not complaining because at the pace of customers coming in, there was plenty of seating. Self serve, so minimal interaction with the staff but they seemed nice.
Will be back again soon!”

“This place is cozy and offers incredibly tasty milk bubble tea that’s worth trying quickly! The kiosks provide fast service and efficient ordering. I highly recommend it! Great service.”

“So far, it's a good boba place to hang out. There are tons of flavors. You can choose from popping boba, aloe vera, grass jelly, cheese foam, and crystal pearls. My favorite combo lately has been brown sugar boba with oat milk and crème brûlée foam and kumquat Lemon green tea. Support local restaurant”

“Great location the staff is always happy to help even when they are busy they try their best to get people taken care of quickly and with a good attitude. Food fresh and good too.”

“I went on a Tuesday for the $5 Single Papa meal (cheeseburger, fries and a drink). It's a pretty good deal. It may not be enough food for some but I was happy with the serving size. It has been years since I have been to an A&W. This one is also a KFC. A bonus if you have a family that can't agree on food ”

“Let me say that I was completely impressed by the food quality it was great. It was Hands down one of the best burgers I have had in awhile.

I will never go anywhere else but that location I’m a very happy unsatisfied customer.”

“Each time I've visited my burger has been excellent. I love that they also have onion rings on the menu and offer an alternative to soda for a drink option.”

“Far and away the best Japanese restaurant in Pleasant Hill. Nobuya may have the ambiance but the food falls very short by comparison. The okonomyaki is the best in the East Bay. Must try!”

“Their food is so good and now the service matches (finally)! They used to be pretty meh at service (we still go but it required patience). Not any more! Also, I used not want to go because of all the annoying “happy birthday” song. It’s long and loud. It didn’t happen for the 1.5 hr lunch. Yay!”
