Restaurants in California

“Staff was very friendly and did an excellent job handling my food order since I have Celiac. I highly recommend this location if you have celiac or other food sensitive needs.”

“This place had been recommended to me so many times and I finally tried it and I have to say I was not disappointed!!! The food and service were great!! I thought prices were very fair too! 100% recommend!”

“Maddie was our hostess, she was great on the phone when I called ahead & in person. Our server was LJ he was very attentive, took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Ribs my husband had were perfectly made. I choose Salmon & grilled shrimp & the were outstanding. We both brought leftovers home for lunch today.”

“Yummmm food. Decently priced for the area. They replaced lotus in terms of freshness in my opinion but with more options.”

“Jr Bowl with mixed greens, white rice & Chicken Shawarma, is my favorite!

Counter order, you select the size you want, bowl or wrap, your base, meat, toppings and sauce. Everything is fresh! Think subway but Mediterranean and 1000 x's better!! Subway is good but this is better in my opinion.”

“Great steaks and great customer service!”

“Where do I even begin? The night before our wedding Sunny personally met us at the door with Manhattans, IPAs and cups of bacon. He and his staff made our incredibly culturally diverse family feel at home. When I needed a place to hold a cancer fundraiser for my dearest friend on the planet, Sunny not only allowed us to use his place without changing us, he allowed us to provide and auction off food and donated 10% of the bar receipts. Not the profits, the receipts. If there is a kinder, more generous business owner in St. Mary’s County I’d love to meet them. We no longer live in the county but every time we visit, we are greeted with a warm sincere hug from a good human we are proud to call friend.”

“This place is wonderful! The food is top notch and the service is amazing! They even have managers walk around to ask if everything is okay! Olive Garden is one of the few restaurants to do this! This is one of the best locations because the inside looks beautiful. It is always neat and clean.”

“The BEST pizza in Southern Maryland!”

“This is a great spot to have a simple lunch while watching the planes. Ordering was easy and the food came out quickly. Looking forward to going back.”

“DELICIOUS FOOD! Love the chicken pad Thai and the ice tea! 😍”

“The food was fantastic, service was exceptionally quick and Anna was excellent. The most kind hearted server I’ve ever had 100/10 will come back and recommend.”

“Delicious, well-seasoned, cooked perfectly. Got the double boil with 1/2 lb snow crab & mussels, and added clams. Everything was great and I will return.”

“Not much to say here. I like Chinese food and theirs is delicious. I called my order in then by the time I arrived I paid them and they put my freshly made hot food in a bag where I took it home and enjoyed it with my family.”

“Awesome service and the sushi was SO good. ♥️”

“The place smell so Amazingggg. The Staffs are very friendly. I like how you can see where they are baking the cookie. I think the price is great too. Plus the cookies are hugeeeee.sorry I started eating it as soon as I got in the car. Oh they even have ice cream too.”

“Had an amazing time at Coldstone Creamery in California, Maryland. I was served by Gretchen who made my ice cream in record time with the biggest smile on her face! I will be coming back!”

“I have ordered three custom cakes from them in the past. They are wonderful with such attention to detail! The ship is complete with doors and windows. The cake was very tasty--I've never served a cake where everyone ate their whole piece. The cake made my husband's retirement party a huge success!”

“I love it here. Employees and ownership are great and it’s always a good time. Sometimes Jimmy lets me play music on my phone and use the mop when I’m drunk!”

“Great prices and good food”

“Staff and patrons were friendly. Our waitress Grace took care of us. The food was excellent. Prices were reasonable. We drank a local IPA they had on tap. It was nothing fancy. Everything we tried was good: sweet Heat BBQ Bacon Burger, Coleslaw, Tater Tots, Trio Chips while it seems like a local's place, they are welcoming to tourists, too. Choose your spot - the bar, inside tables, or outside seating. The décor is rustic, comfortable & welcoming. Don't miss it!”

“I absolutely loved going there with my mom when I was in high school. it became our girls trip snack date whenever we wanted a kiwi smoothie and I was craving their sesame balls. I really missed this restaurant when I had to move away from Maryland.”

“This is going to be lengthy so don't read if not interested in a Birthday Party review. I contacted Guest Relations on Thursday, confirming in Person on Friday, confirmed Catering on a Saturday, & had the physical Ten years Young B-Day party 🥳 on Monday 24Nov25. The Store Manager must have seen the panic on my face. Inclement weather in bound, Solomons park not feasible for a party. Last minute moving in doors, strict budget. Mom wants to thank all kiddos that arrive with a $5/6 dollar thank you gift 💝 from the CB store. Manger so personable & helpful, the kind Gentleman's name is Khari/Kari? I walked through what I believed a group of TEN ravenous energetic boys plus parents would need. The Holiday Berry punch tea (Adults table) was delicious, want to use as a base for cocktails 🍹 at some point. Pitcher of Lemonade for the kids. Platter of sliders X2. No problem with me bringing in cupcakes 🧁 with candles, budget saver. IN THE MOMENT, added a tray of Crispy Dippers. Three of the B-Day boys friends, don't like burgers 🍔. So much chicken on the tray, everyone got two pieces. We were the back corner of the restaurant. A table for gifts & logistical setup. A kids table, a two tables consisted of the Parent Table. Napkins, cups, plates, goodies bags, balloons, coats dump. We brought table wears for Birthday theme & easier recycling ♻️, wasn't going to have some poor soul washing what this ravenous crowd put away other than pitchers of drink. Long table made of three he personally pushed together. We have never had more than two guests show at any previous party 🎉 because of close proximity to travel holiday. We had ten sitting at the tables with the Birthday boy. Also room for platters & cupcakes, out of reach until time to plate & share. When my lighter failed to ignite, manager let me borrow bic from fireplace. Also handed me a cup with an inch of water. When the candles kept re igniting... Into the cup they went, he obviously has done this before. Unbeknownst to Mom/Dad older siblings had swapped B-Day candles for trick candles. While kids were playing with bouncy blow up balloons awaiting arrival of last guest (I was stalling for time) several cups were knocked over. Mya B our Hostess/Server didn't miss a beat... extra napkins at the ready. Didn't know at the time but Happy Birthday 🎊 Napkins shred like confetti 🎉 when wet. When amped up on B-Day Sugar, she placed pitchers of water front & end of table so the wolf pack could detox. All told, food/Drinks, was $80!! This included location, staging, prep time, hearding cats to rest room. Male head unknown to me, Female Head immaculate. Also the hour plus it took for Ten Boys to pick under $7 toy. The apologies continued to flow. All staff helpful, kind, understanding, consummate professionals. I need to return as every visible trace we tried to remove of our being there a ketchup got swept up into the carry out boxes. Catering came with lids which were stackable perfection for leftovers. This Veteran Momma with a port and an MBC diagnosis knows that birthdays are precious, not guaranteed, & fleeting. So thank you 🙏🏽 to the army of everyone that made this possible. Even the dinner guests on the other side of the restaurant were so thoughtful to wish him Birthday Blessings 🗽🕊️⚓️🎗️This will be an Inside Out, core memory I will forever cherish. Thank you 🥹 to Cracker Barrel for returning us to a little bit of everyday normalcy & an exceptional gathering. 🫰🫶🏽👩🏼‍🦲❤️‍🩹”

“We had dinner there this evening, and everything was great. The server was so sweet and helpful. She helped one of our kids with us to figure out what sushi he actually wanted. She was on top of it with drinks, food, boxes and cleanup. The chef was fantastic! He was funny, talented in his skill and the food was delicious. We were told at the end that he was the owner, which made the whole interaction even better. He took the time to do his job and talk to us, all while getting ready to feed a party of 80 people. I highly recommend this place!”

“Amazing service fast and the ice cream and everything is better than mcdonalds for the same price or a dollar more its crazy why do people go elsewhere! Best soft serve cones around best fries ive ever had in my life and if you think they fry bombed you get free replacement of fresh ones also best burgers and funnel cake fries are amazing wish they were bigger though but they arent too small im just greedy ❤️”

“Great customer service, great frozen custard, a drive thru, open all year round and coffee!! You cant beat that !! I highly recommend if you are in California MD!!”

“Great night in, Valentine’s Day crisis averted - my boyfriend and I tried to get sushi to-go to avoid massive crowds and waits, to show up at pickup time and be told our order was CANCELED!!! MOD pizza for the win! Great service, food, and better option for a great date Night! Shout out to Calista!”

“I walked up and got my food and the man behind the register started screaming at me to place my desert on the scale. He weighed my food and gave me a dirty look when it was over 43 oz. He told me that I had to wipe off the food dripping on the scale and clean up after myself. I will NOT be coming back as the staff is totally untrained and uncontrolled.”

“Fast. Clean. Affordable. Friendly employees. We had wraps, tenders, and chicken w/ waffles- all good. Yummy shakes. And the berry lemonade is a favorite. This was our second trip and will go back again! Thanks!”

“I do recommend Outback at California, MD. location. EMI H and the entire crew are great customer service and are always willing to do the extra.”

“I can't even say how nice our breakfast was today. We had Journey as our waitress and she was the nicest person I've ever met, she made sure we were all happy and taken care of and enjoying our food. The food is always incredible and nice and warm when it comes out, the service has always been amazing, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming and lots of nice people talking and eating and enjoying this place. When I order carry out its always nice and fast and the food is warm. The place is now decorated for Christmas and looks amazing and the tables and bathrooms are always clean. I highly recommend you try this out for breakfast.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Bollywood Masala today and having such an incredible experience with Raj, who not only offered suggestions but adjusted the spiciness of the sauces for us both, as we were both first timers in Indian cuisine.
The experience was amazing, the food and taste, impeccable, and left us fans of Indian cuisine forever! Service and atmosphere was great and the music left you feeling relaxed and feeling happy as you enjoyed these wonderful dishes. Thank you Raj so much for this wonderful experience. We will definitely be returning soon!”

“This restaurant has made it into our family's top list of restaurants, even after just one visit. We have a number of allergies to contend with, including dairy and wheat (needing gluten free). We stopped in one day to see if this might be a suitable restaurant for the future and we had a great conversation where all of our allergy questions were answered with care. It takes a lot of trust in a restaurant to dine out when you have severe allergies and it was so amazing to have questions answered in such a confident way that we didn't have to feel nervous or fearful about trying the food. The jerk chicken and shrimp options both fit this need and were amazingly delicious on top of that. Our group tried the jerk chicken, plain shrimp, jerk trio and jerk chicken tacos, with sides of white rice, fried plantains, French fries, festival, Mac n cheese and sauteed cabbage. It is hard to find food that is safe for our family members but also tasty - we are already making plans to try to book this restaurant for catering for a large event we are hosting next year. My son said the French fries were the best he'd ever had, and as I was told usually happened after customers had questions about the food, all plates were eaten clean. We are excited to have another safe restaurant to have on our list and we can't wait to eat here again. I only wish we had gotten pictures - but it smelled and looked so tasty that we were diving in before we could think of it.”

“Favorite location in the area always clean line moves great management has been consistently amazing and I've been coming here for years Keep up the great work!!”

“Had the Italian sub and it is worthy of praise! The bread was warm and chewy the sandwich was absolutely delicious! The service was on point. Would definitely go again!”

“~ Very friendly service at the drive thru window & they give my pup a treat 💖”

“Food was good, but the server I had was inattentive. She just gave me my food and said here you go and walked away. I had hoped she would come back so I could get ketchup. I had to ask another server to get it for me. Since I had a burger with a lot of sauce on it I needed napkins to wipe my hands. Once again no sign of my server. I asked another server walking by if she could get me some napkins. She brought me cocktail napkins. Pretty much useless when trying to wipe sauce off your hands! My server finally showed when I was almost finished eating up to ask me if I wanted anything or the bill. A friend of mine said thyey had poor service there as well. Train your servers and may I will come back one day.”

“I want to praise the manager of this Red Robin restaurant for displaying the best of customer service one could ever obtain! Tara was fabulous! I had some complications with my phone order and some issues that I faced upon picking up the order. In the end, I was beyond satisfied and taken care of by manager Tara. This woman is incredible as she listens to her customers, discerns the best way to handle the situation, and then she immediately implements a resolution! I am so impressed with this manager and because of her I will continuously come back to Red Robin because I know that even when something doesn't go exactly as planned, the restaurant has my back in the end! There will always be things that are going to happen when dining out, but how an issue is resolved is the most important piece to the puzzle. And manager Tara knows how to handle such situations and represent Red Robin in the finest light! Thank you Tara and thank you Red Robin!”
