“This restaurant has incredible customer service. We had ordered food online and were not sure if it was being delivered. We had called to ask them and the nice man wasn’t sure either. Well, 15 minutes later they call me back informing that doordash has picked up my order. The employees just went above and beyond. That sweet man didn’t have to call me back and he did.“

“This is a wonderful bowling alley! It is clean and well maintained, which is becoming increasingly rare these days. I didn't have any issues at all with my lanes while practicing for nearly three hours. Both the bar and the grill were well run and efficient too. I had tri-tip sandwich that was delicious. While I was eating lunch, the General Manager walked over and asked me how my lunch was and offered to comp me some more games as well as invite me to a future bowling tournament! He really made me feel like a local regular. The ambiance is laid back and chill, just like it should be for an alley. Everyone from the center I interacted with was direct and courteous, which was a breath of fresh air. And I knew I was in the right place when I stepped in and saw the American and State of California flags hanging above the lanes. If you are anywhere near Santa Maria and want to relax with friends, have some BBQ and maybe an adult beverage or two, hit this place up!“

“This is my second visit to Santa Maria for work, and the second time staying at the Santa Maria Inn. I’ll start with the rooms, I’ve only stayed in the newer rooms (tower) and I love! The original rooms are older because it’s a historical hotel, so know that when coming. This hotel has it all, no need to leave, pool, 2+ bars, and a restaurant with great food. I came to the bar everyday after work (don’t judge). The vibe is on point, brunch on Sundays with bottomless mimosas, say less!! Tiffany is in the bar on (Sunday) and let me tell you from a back in the day server, she is giving the hospitality vibes and surely bringing people back no doubt! Super sweet, attentive and even remembered me from months past, (speaks to my server soul)! If not for the sweet front dest staff and good food, come for the tasty libations and Tiffany!!“

“My dad is a service related disabled Vietnam veteran. Today I took him to get his special free veteran’s day meal. Thank you Denny’s for allowing him to take it to go. He has trouble walking and sitting for too long lately and has been reluctant to go out much, especially to crowded restaurants, due to COVID 19. The meal was amazing! He had enough pancakes to share with his grandkids.😉 Even as busy as you were, the service was amazing and quick. I think he waited a total of 10 mins. Maybe consider handing out a free meal card for next year to still help avoid the large crowd that was still present and did not allow for social distancing. You did way better than IHOP who stipulated he had to eat it there and not get it to go and they were packed as well. We left and went straight to you. Thank you for recognizing and supporting all service members, past and present.“

“So... I'm a local. Through the years, some of my friends have never wanted to accompany me here. "You won't like it. It's too expensive." Yesterday was my first time here, and I now realize I've been surrounding myself with bums and broke-asses. But evolution is always good. I'm just sad that it took me this long! LOL!“

“This Applebee's is a very safe and family-friendly establishment. The managers provide excellent customer service, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone receives equal respect and attention. The food is outstanding, with great attention to detail, and they show a special appreciation for veterans.

Parking: It’s great

Kid-friendliness: It’s great

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s great“

“We stayed at the Holiday Inn and decided to spring for the breakfast rate to keep things convenient. We had three days of breakfasts and they were all awesome! I do think part of our experience was colored by being taken care of by Tasha all three days, who was really down to earth and fun to talk to while going way past the extra mile to take care of us. The food was excellent too! We spend probably half the year in Holiday Inns and it’s so great when breakfast isn’t the usual buffet and made to order.“

“Great service and food 😃😃😃“

“Fui ah Santa María California pasar la navidad con mi familia y ya de regreso a casa para Washington pasé por pollos asados Culiacan está muy rico el pollo les recomiendo el pollo de ese lugar nada más que vivo en el estado Washington si no todos los días ira consumir“

“Just gave this star ratings, but I wanted to come back to it. Read some lukewarm reviews going 4 to 9 months back. Sorry it wasn't super at that time. I had great service and a great meal that was well prepared and came out of the kitchen in a reasonable time frame. My guess is people rotate in and out of these jobs from time to time, and you have hits and misses.
I had the salmon with roasted potatoes and French cut green beans. The salmon portion was bigger than I expected and cooked perfectly. Also had a nice presentation.“

“Fast friendly service. over clean“

“My cute little wife and I went into me and Ed's pizzeria looking for some pizza and some salad.
When we went to order the lady at the counter told us they would have Coca-Cola products today but tomorrow they were changing over to Pepsi products. I was really sad.
And of course when I went to fill up my diet Coke it ran out. But I got some root beer so that was okay.
We both got personal pizzas I had all meat and Momma had pepperoni and pineapple and some other stuff. The salad bar was okay it could use some bacon bits or ham.“

“Great! We had a wonderful waitress and food was fantastic.“
