“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“Always great service and good food. This simple dinner has been around for decades, although I'm new to the area. As a single guy, I enjoy the friendly servers that lighten the day and get to know you. The food is consistently good. It's no high class place or special atmosphere, but it's a reasonable, friendly place to get food.“

“Trotter's feels reliable in a way that is honestly underrated. Comfortable casual easy to enjoy and the food landed in the exactly what I want zone. Nobody was trying to reinvent or give food too much personality which I appreciated. Go when you want a good meal but don't want to overthink it.“

“Mandy provided exceptional service! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our entire dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. She checked on us regularly, kept our drinks filled, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out. It's clear she cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Mandy, for making our visit such a great experience—we will definitely be back!“

“Awesome Course but better staff!“

“Great food. Comfortable and quiet.“

“I thought the Birria tacos were great, and the avocado salsa was excellent. If I lived here I would go back. We were there in the middle of the afternoon so the place was empty. Service was okay, it seems like food places today run skeleton crews so not a lot of customer service happens these days.“

“I had an outstanding experience at The Rock Wood Fired Pizza thanks to the exceptional service provided by Sarah H. From the moment she greeted our table, her energy set the tone for the entire visit. She was friendly without being overbearing, attentive without hovering, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure guests had a great time. It’s rare to find someone who strikes that perfect balance, but Sarah did it effortlessly.

Throughout the meal, Sarah checked in at just the right moments—never interrupting conversation, but always appearing when we needed something. She knew the menu inside and out, offering helpful recommendations and answering questions with confidence. Her timing was spot‑on, and every interaction felt personal rather than routine. It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and it shows in the way she treats her guests.

What stood out most was her professionalism paired with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. She made the experience feel smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Great food is important, but great service is what makes you want to come back—and Sarah H is exactly the kind of server who elevates the entire dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’ll absolutely be asking for her section again.“

“I went with friends and liked it more than I expected to. The vibe was comfortable, not too loud, not too fancy, and honestly that balance is harder to find than it should be. It was easy to sit, have drinks, talk for a while, and not feel rushed, which made it a great girls night option. Go when everybody wants to go out but nobody wants chaos.“

“very good evening excellent service and great food music was over the top. I will be going back!“

“This is fun when you want more than just a meal and everybody in your group has a different idea of what counts as a good time. It is very easy to turn a quick stop into a whole evening here because there is always something to do. You go in thinking food first and maybe a couple games and then suddenly it has been two hours and someone is taking air hockey more personally than the situation requires. The mix of food, games, and general chaos works better than it should. That is probably the magic of a place like this. It gives you enough structure that nobody has to make a plan but enough going on that the night does not feel flat. I would absolutely bring the kids here on a energy day, though my son would need a little pregame speech about indoor voice versus arcade excitement and how those are not in fact the same setting. It is the kind of place that can carry a birthday, a casual group outing, or just a random night when nobody wants to sit still. Go when you want dinner plus something to do and do not feel like overthinking it.“

“Place was organized and clean with good music. All staff was respectful and courteous but Rico- this man deserves a raise his service and attitude is amazing will definitely be returning.😊 Keep it up Imperial!“

“This has been one of my favorite places for many years, they've got the best fried chicken sandwiches and I absolutely love thier BLT salads.. The burgers are also incredible!! Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself, you deserve it ?“

“Great service Nice people. Food delicious“
