“The outside fire pit adds to a beautiful, cool summer night. The service is quick and the servers are attentive. Have to give a special shout out to the waiter, Jacob who not only came by frequently but informed us of some extra deals they had going on, and even let us know of this special offer for their monthly beer club without being too pushy. Definitely, coming back. Not only for the ambiance and the fact that I can bring my corgi, but because Jacob was so cool.“

“I have been going there for 50 + years. Me and the Wife for 30 years! We live in Las Vegas, Nv. I have been to every 5 star in Las Vegas for 45 years and Clearman's is still the best ever! The food, service and the service has not changed in all that time! I remember the Owner, was going to build a Clearman's in Green Valley, Henderson. When he passed away I asked his Son when is the New Clearman's was opening, he stated never, his Dad was wrong in thinking about opening it. I told him I live in Vegas, the Wife and I come just for the food then back to Vegas. I told him we tell all our Friends , Family and our work mates, ( Law Enforcement) , take photos of our food and the restaurant! Today my Son's Friend from Co. Ate for the first time took leftovers home with pictures he took! Still waiting for a NEW CLEARMAN'S in Nv. To happen! Please!“

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“Always good food . Typically good service. Atmosphere is VERY dependent on the booth where one is seated. Unfortunately, if you're near the bus station, it is very loud as the workers divide up plates, silverware, glasses et cetera. We go here for brunch.Most sundays after church. moving forward, we will always ask for the lounge.... far from the bus station in the center of the Cafe dining room. It would be much better if the separating of dishes were done in the kitchen, away from diners ears and out of the atmospheric influences. I still strongly recommend this restaurant.Just choose your seat wisely.“

“The food is delicious and generous portions!“

“Amazing experience! I love the atmosphere, looks like the old restaurants from the movies. 🤩 The server was super helpful and the food was delicious. Definitely I’m coming back! Btw the restaurant sells Disney products in the entrance.“

“Great place, owner Mike is hands-on and will explain the beer selection (which he tries and chooses himself) and unique menu. Everytime I travel to CA I stop by. Burgers are great, beers are mostly local with some intriguing European beers tossed in. All the produce is freshly and locally sourced. Very unique retro interior and vibe. Check it out, one of a kind.“

“I've gone to several of the regional airport cafes. This location is the best! The wall is all windows and it's directly on the runway which adds to the experience seeing planes land and takeoff while eating. The parking is easy and plentiful. This place was hopping on a Friday morning. That was nice to see. The service was great. Greeted with a warm, friendly smile. The servers were attentive, prompt and courteous.
The portions large and very reasonable. The food was delicious. I had biscuit and gravy and a meat lover's omelette. Oh my!! Very flavorful. And filling!!
The lobby has plenty of pictures with history of the airport as well as memorabilia throughout the restaurant.
This place is fun and a tasty experience. I highly recommend it.“

“If you’re craving something sweet, the muffins and pies here are a must-try! 🧁🥧 The muffins are soft, moist, and packed with flavor—perfect with your morning coffee. The pies are just as impressive, with buttery, flaky crusts and rich, satisfying fillings. Whether you’re into fruity pies or creamy classics, there’s something to love. Definitely a go-to spot for dessert lovers!“

“This was my second time spending my birthday at the summit house. The food was amazing. My filet Mignon was cooked medium rare at it melted in my mouth. My husband ordered the Australian Barramundi, I enjoyed that also. The staff was very attentive and our server Lupe was very helpful.“

“My favorite brunch spot. I regularly drive here from Pico Rivera just to have their coffee lol. BEST cafe de olla I’ve had from a restaurant. Super friendly and attentive staff and amazing food. My favorite dish is their chilaquiles and adding chorizo, eggs and avocado. Sooo good. Parking is sometimes hard to find only bc this spot is so popular on weekends but there is street parking as well.“

“My party cost about $80+ between the 5 of us, and it was well worth it. I personally ordered their chili omelet, and when I say I couldn't finish it because of the big portions, I mean it, I'm a big person, I can eat A LOT, and I couldn't finish it all. 10/10 on atmosphere, flavor, and portion size“

“I always have the most amazing experience at this Applebee’s San Dimas for decades! Yesterday, was the best that I simply felt this review was warranted. From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm and welcoming. Aurora at the bar was truly exceptional!! Her service was top-tier, fabulous, friendly, and professional. She made us feel right at home and elevated our entire experience. The rest of the staff were equally wonderful, attentive, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do.

The food? Absolutely delicious! Every bite was full of flavor, and the value for what you get is unbeatable. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink or staying for a full meal, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend and definitely coming back when I am in town.“

“I had a wonderful experience today…

“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.“

“We were recently passing through Pasadena and boy, did Yelp come through for us when picking a place to eat! Craft by Smoke & Fire in Old Town Pasadena ended up being the perfect choice. It was a beautiful evening and we opted to sit outside. We were lucky enough to have Stephanie as our server…and also lucky to be there during happy hour – you gotta love a 2 for 1 drink special! It was hard to choose between all the craft cocktails, but we ended up ordering Lulu Lemons which were excellent! I play mixologist when entertaining at home, and when I expressed interest in recreating this drink for our friends, Stephanie was kind enough to share the recipe! The menu is full of yummy Texas-style BBQ options made from locally sourced meat, and it was hard to choose. We landed on brisket grilled cheese with a side of mac & cheese (can you have too much cheese?!) and a harvest brisket salad. Both were so delicious. The outside table area was pretty full and although she was covering a lot of tables, Stephanie was knowledgeable when guiding us through the menu, super attentive and personable to boot! We look forward to returning…and to checking out their Anaheim location as well!“

“Came here with my family for breakfast. The service was pretty good considering we were a party of 9. The food took a long time to come out and wasn't very hot, but at least it all came out at once and it tasted delicious. The pumpkin spice latte was also amazing. Will definitely come back.“

“It was my second time to visit and eat today, and it was so delicious, it was a lot and it was good. The service of In Beatriz D was also good“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“Love coming here in the morning..also..the Lady in the morning, (the mother, wife, of the owners,) she has the best hospitality ever :)“
