“I love BJ's! One of my favorite places to eat, makes me feel so nostalgic. I came here with my boyfriend today for Valentine's Day and we had the best time thanks to Bryan! The service was fast and he was also very communicative about our order and how soon it was coming out. I am very happy to have celebrated vday here!“

“The food was yummy and affordable!“

“This is the best Denny's because of the many memories I have when our family would eat here when it was a Lamppost Pizza. The layout is the same but of course the food is breakfast fodder. It's evolved with me because now I can't eat pizza and they change their omelet plate to make it a Vegan plate and now I can eat here again with my family.“

“Breakfast burritos were amazing!“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“This place has unique takes on classic American meals. I think a majority of the items in the menu are great! My favorite is the bison burger, if you haven’t tried bison ever, I would ask anyone reading this to give it a shot, it tastes just like regular beef but it’s better, at least at this restaurant anyway.“

“Monique was an ABSOLUTE STAR!!! Super kind server, extremely attentive, and on the spot! We loved being in her section and she really was an extra bit of joy in our day. Thank you Monique for the wonderful service, we hope to see you again soon!!!“

“Went for breakfast during the week. It was surprisingly busy. Service was fast and relatively friendly. Food came out quickly. I didn't love the scrambled eggs, but I'm admittedly picky about them. The pancakes were pretty solid.

It has a distinctively retro vibe... 70s maybe? But not in a campy way. Just feels very old school. I wouldn't say it's on my favorites list, but I'd definitely go back.“

“Make reservations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s otherwise it’s a long wait.“

“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!“

“Great food great company great service“

“The food is delicious and generous portions!“

“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!“

“My husband and I love Country Cafe! We come here almost every weekend, it is our favorite local breakfast spot with the best food, nicest staff, and a warm and friendly atmosphere. We've brought many friends here too, and everyone has loved The Country Cafe!“

“My server was David and he was great. He was attentive, friendly with a smile, and came back several times to ask if I needed anything. I ordered the bourbon chicken skillet and it was delicious! Couldn't think of a thing I would improve on the whole experience. Would come here again. Thank you!“

“Saw this place on instagram. Since im always going to Disney & look for new fun places to eat before I get to Disneyland. I decided to try this place.

This place is amazing. You can actually see the place taking off & landing. It’s decorate on point. The tables have an activity board perfect to keep kids busy while waiting for the food. The food is amazing cooked to perfection. The 1.99 mimosas are perfect. It’s reasonably price.

The reason I took of a star, because I’m not sure if they were understaff but I waited a good 20min for a table when you could clearly see there were plenty of tables available as I was waiting two more parties came & they had them wait as well. When I finally got seat the server was not to friendly she never checked up on us never asked me if I wanted a refill on my coffee I actually I had to wave her down a few times. The times she would acknowledge me, she would take her sweet time coming over to my table. I wish I would have gotten her name. Girl if you are working as a serve you need to be more friendly smile more.

Would I recommend this place yes but hope you don’t get the same server as I did. Because honestly this place is amazing. I’m not sure if I would come back. Service needs to improve in order for me to go back.“

“I love this place all the variety of plates are really good we ordered the 3 taquitos dorados and for dessert canela Nachos with ice cream and oh my God are really really god. Angela has and excelente customer service she recommended us this dessert thanks Angela for been nice and make our day better with your attentions. God Bless you! And guys don’t forget the cucumber agua Fresca is really good 😊.“

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“Came in to pick up a prepaid pie for the Thanksgiving holiday. Service was great and all employees were very friendly and professional. I was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes even with the line out the door! Hopefully this location doesn't go out of business like so many others have.“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful experience today…
I went to buy a pie for my son and I was helped by Robert M he was so wonderful . When I said the pie was for my son birthday he was so kind, he wished my son a happy birthday and gave him two delicious muffins; blubbery was my sons favorite.I was so grateful, thank you Robert And thank you Marie Callender’s for always making my a experiences with you guy’s memorable..see you soon“

“One star less on atmosphere bc the music is so horrible. However, AB is my go to for sports games etc. they have happy hour food, which is a big difference from their un-named competition (Chili’s). Food is always good, TV’s are sports ready, and Happy Hour.“

“This little gem feels like an old school drive inn. They have oldies playing and the atmosphere is great! You can order to go or dine in, but let me warn you it can get packed in there!

As for the food, it's amazing! The food comes in big quantities, as you can tell from the images, and yes, it does taste delicious as it looks! Next time we are in town, we will definitely stop by for more!

Vegetarian options: There are options for vegetarian such as salads and other items.

Parking: Parking is free. Just don't come in during rush hour because of the drive-thru line.

Kid-friendliness: It's spacious enough inside, and it's family-friendly“

“great food, great atmosphere ans friendly service“

“Saturday night the noise level was so loud. It was hard to talk to my Friend. The food was okay but it was so busy. I would say they were short-staffed on waiters not the waiter's fault that the managers fault for not having another waiter on duty! The reply from management was lame. Didn't address any of my complaints!“

“Came here for a last minute meal with the family. Sat in Phil's section and he made sure we taken care of, never ran out something to drink and very kind with the cheese bread. Thanks Phil for the amazing service and making sizzler a special place for nice steak and food.“

“Wonderful food and great service! Thank you for having dine-in also! I hope more restaurants will be bold and open with dine-in!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“The food was great and the waitress was amazing. Awesome experience.“

“Been eating here for many years, but I'm moiling farther away. I miss their salid bar. The staff is always friendly and the food is great“

“Excellent food, service, and one of the best places for all the above.“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“
