I also liked that the portions were just right and not overly large. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back.“

“First visit, weeknight, not crowded. Food very good to excellent. Beet trio appetizer superb. Not clear if the 3 dipping sauces were for beets or brisket but good either way. Fiancee had wagyu burger, excellent. I had the combo plate…brisket a tad dry, fried chicken very good, corn bread muffin & cole slaw great. Extensive wine list, top labels. We shared a flight and each had a glass of bubbly. Portion size good … I had leftovers for breakfast. Server Jeff casual but on the ball with advice. Menu somewhat limited, especially for vegans.“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“I stopped by expecting a basic experience as I was charging my car nearby. I was blown away by the customer service to start, everything was explained in a way that was easily digestible(literally) and the Ball-Tip sandwich recommendation was right on point. Sandwich was probably one of the best I’ve had in my life ,next time getting extra meat. Before heading out I was greeted by a different cashier, a young lady ,and asked her could I buy a single rib to try, after trying the ribs I know for sure this place is a favorite of mines now for sure! 5 stars!“

“It’s all good very good barbecue sauce so tasty“

“I don’t often jump on to review restaurants but when you have the best BBQ you’ve ever had in your life- and that’s NOT an exaggeration- you gotta jump on and give em their due. Pulled pork was so juicy and tender - well flavored. Pork ribs with perfect sweet tang. Crispy sweet potato fries cooked to perfection and the BEST soft cornbread. I will be coming back…“

“Recommend! That said, it is FOOTBALL SUNDAY 🏈 and your taps are DRY for HenHouse, Altamount Maui, and SpaceDust? Come on boys!!! Pass for today but will be back!!“

“I ordered the Italian pasta salad, a whole pickle, fries and some peppered turkey from the deli by the pound. I ended up returning the pasta salad. The noodle were over cooked. Everything else was fine. I didn't have any trouble getting a refund or a replacement they offered both. Kinders staff is excellent always.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excited to have another Hawaiian bbq restaurant to add to our rotation. L&L is always consistent with generous portions, good flavor, and healthy options. The service at this particular location is great, it’s small but the folks behind the counter are always friendly and the service is always quick.“

“This is one of the best food in the Bay Area. The staff are great. The food are excellent fresh. I see some of the comments from other customers just if you don’t like this place just don’t go there less problem for everyone. And I don’t think they need a customer like those guys. Five star to you guys“

“Slow Hand never disappoints. Just got back from Austin and had bbque there at Franklins. But just tasting Slow Hand, absolutely amazing. Love, love this place! So many great drink options as well. Wow.“

“Amazing find! Had a quick lunch here the price was very reasonable (lunch special menu). The small dishes (complimentary appetisers) tasted very authentic and goes well with the rice. Would recommend anyone to come try authentic Korean food at good price!“

“I have now been to this location at least 5 times. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere cheerful, with enough seating both inside and out. I like that they have self-serve water. I keep wanting to try something new -- they have lots of options -- but every time I order the avocado smash toast, I am always so satisfied and delighted that I can't bring myself to order something else! The avocado is ALWAYS fresh and never past its prime. That must be hard to do. I appreciate their quality assurance. (I can recall from other restaurants or sandwich shops the disappointment of paying extra for avocado but getting fruit that has that weird/bad taste of old avocados.) The smash has these scrumptious little marinated cherry tomatoes and microgreens and the tiniest hint of heat from a little chili oil. Yum. A feast the the eyes, too. Toastique in Danville is a great place to have a leisurely breakfast with a friend or a post-workout snack. I also want to given a shout out to the owner who was working on June 2 for the Danville Restaurant Walk. Thank you for being so friendly and generous!“

“Sooo sooo good! Great Service“

“This place was a nice stop. It wasn’t busy when we came in, so we got our food pretty quickly. I ordered the BBQ chicken and short ribs, and my wife got the salmon poke bowl. She really enjoyed the poke bowl—lots of protein, and they didn’t skimp on the toppings at all.

My dish was also good. The short ribs were a little chewy, and the chicken could’ve had a bit more flavor, but if you’re really hungry like I was, it definitely hits the spot. It’s definitely quantity over quality, but still worth it.

We also tried the spam musubi, which was good, though the sauce was more drizzled on the rice instead of coating the spam. Overall, it was a good experience and we will definitely return!“

“‘Ono grinds at a great price 🍹“

“This Hawaiian restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The service was fast, friendly, and made us feel like ohana. The menu offered a great selection, and everything we ordered was delicious. The luau-style ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the coconut shrimp had the perfect crunch with a hint of sweetness. The ambiance was magical, with soft lighting, Polynesian decor, and just the right amount of island music to set the mood. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a casual night out, this spot is perfect. Can’t wait to return!“

“The food here is delicious! 😋 You will walk away satisfied, happy and planning your next return date!“

“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.“

“I hired Willy to make me 9 pounds of his smoked brisket and baked beans for my Chanukah party for 30 people. Everything was DELICIOUS and easy to heat up in the containers that he gave me.
All of my party goers were happy and content with their meal.!
I definitely recommend this business! It was a pleasure working with Willy.“

“Our experience with Kinders catering was a 10! The food was delicious! Everyone THANKED US for great food at a wedding! The ribs, lime chicken, and potato salad were huge hits. Ryan and his staff were great to work with! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next event, and consider for a wedding and make everyone happy!“

“Absolutely Loved This Place ❤️“

“Overall, I enjoy the food. And portions are pretty good. The one downside is their shrimp tempura. It’s basically fried dough and it’s tough. Everything else i enjoy. I recommend the chicken that is not fried/breaded chicken“

“I recommend: The Great uplifting environment very peaceful and Friendly.“
