“The first time you go your a stranger but it didn't feel uncomfortable because you could tell that you were in a friendly atmosphere. Good singers, delicious drinks, good company, excellent bartenders and an attentive KJ! Karaoke is on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 9:00 pm until closing. Pool tables and darts. If you don’t sing come by anyway … you’ll be glad you did. Hey you’ll probably see me there!“

“I love this place , The Beer is good and cold ! The Brisket is the best for me , nice and juices, never dry w/ just a touch of char that gives it the best taste ever ! The portions seem like there smaller but I blame covid and all the other things that have gone on in our country, like the cost of living anymore is getting bad, we feel it and I'm sure the management feels it to ! And trust me ,Phil's is good but, Cali has it beat hands down !
Thanks you guys !“

“The sandwich with beef and chimichurri is delicious!! Excellent service…“

“Cider is delicious, as is the food. As a pescatarian, I really appreciate all the vegetarian options and customizations. I joined the Cider Club and it is great. The ciders and discount are awesome but the camaraderie is the best. They also have beer, wine, and cocktails, so something for everyone! (Even N/A!)
The Mexican Caesar with a side of fries is the BEST light lunch or dinner. I keep coming back for it.
The service is always beyond incredible. Everyone is super friendly and eager to help you find what you want.“

“The only downside is the hired help, Ryan Bradford telling people they deserve to be killed (lynched, was his exact words) when he's posting on social media.“

“My 1st time here mid May 2024.Super sweet and fast service, fun old fashion atmosphere and cool old time decor. Great local place. Large portions, quality food. Clean restaurant and restrooms. This was my 1st visit however, they have been here a long while and pushed hard to stay open during Covid-19. Parking lot is small, however we had no issue.“

“THIS is the spot. If you love Taco Bell and everything they create this spot is for you. They have fun, exclusive drinks, a fun twist on Taco Bell and a Cafe function. It’s just overall a fun spot to try out. I love the dirty Baja blast, but I also tried sips of a few other drinks and they were like milkshakes!“

Jose, one of the staff members, was fantastic—he took the time to explain how everything worked and was super friendly throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great time with a welcoming atmosphere!“

“Another throwback diner, where time stood still. Is it 1960 on the way to Yosemite? Comfort food paradise that makes up good taste with large servings.
Be aware...
Large people have eaten here for years, you will note that the seat to table distance in the booths is accommodating, but the springs in the seat are broken. Take Table Seating.“

“My respect to Jeff and the whole crew. Even though it was the last day of being open as a restaurant prior to switching gears into a a full catering facility, everyone went out of their way to give their best and make sure everyone was having a good time and enjoying their meals. Thank you for making that evening, special.“

“Brunch done right with generous portion. No line on a Thursday morning. We came here through Yelp recommendations. The staff were very welcoming and came by to check on our table often. Donny was our server. Restaurant was clean and roomy. We ordered Carnitas Breakfast Skillet and Chicken Waffles. Both so good. Apple pie was good too. Not too sweet. Would come back in the future!“

“the Hawaiian with crispy chicken. omg I miss that.“

“The food was delicious. The service was so so. They even removed my drink and utensils while I was still eating and did not bother to bring them back. How is a customer supposed to eat hot soup without utensils or a beverage to wash it down? How is a customer supposed to eat the salad bar or hot food with out utensils, napkins or drinks. I even paid $3.59 plus tax for a beverage. I got the all you can eat salad bar. The restaurant had only 3 or 4 tables full and was not busy. However since 1 lady was mopping they forced me out of a clean table into a dirty table. I prepaid my salad barmeal and also paid extra for my soda. I even left a good tip. However they did not even offer me toast and even took so long to come by. Then when they did they took my soda cup and utensils. I was there over 30 minutes.“

“It’s definitely was a 10 & 5 ⭐️ for sure! Our server Sarah was an absolute delight & very accommodating! The food delish.. the escargot was a first & I thoroughly enjoyed (my brother a baby & missed the experience) more for me! All of the food definitely top notch!“

“Absolutely amazing food and drinks at great prices. Never disappointed.“

“My friend Jerry and I had lunch on Saturday at around 1 pm and we shared the meatloaf dinner. Unfortunately we both got really sick from it and thought it was food poisoning. Luckily we didn’t have to go to emergency but suffered from it for a long time. We will never have that again. We are regular customers and enjoy the potato cheese soup.“

“Grand Slam of a place ! Been coming since childhood and never disappointed.“

“We had the greatest server, Taylor in your Rancho San Diego restaurant, Jamacha Road,. She was so personable, efficient, friendly and extremely attentive. The food arrived hot and it was delicious. It was a party of 3, and we all agreed the meals were the best we’ve had out in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed it and Taylor made our experience delightful!!! We’ll definitely return to this establishment.

Parking: Disabled parking is conveniently positioned.“

“we have been going to this place for years. with that said service was outstanding and the food was great as expected. I had surgery on my Right Knee and still not that comfortable sitting at bench tables. no problem here they sat us at a table with both chairs and bench. Now that is great customer service. They listened and accommodated us for lunch. Thank you Islands for paying attention to detail. we will be back . oh and if you like chicken. Try their Sandpiper. I get it every time .“

“We were treated like royalty by Aria. The food was fabulous both mornings. The buffet and omelet bar on day one and avocado toast and eggs benedict on day two. Aria also made a perfect bloody mary. Great service and food all the way around. We will return!“
