Marie Callender's Restaurant Daly City, CA
This is a very convenient place to go if you go to Serramonte Shopping Center and you don't want fast food. This was the only choice before Elephant Bar just opened in Dec of 2006 to have a regular meal and not fast food while shopping. The pies are excellent and the food is very good. Their menu is quite large, so there is something for everyone. They have a brunch on Saturdays and Sundays which is very popular too.
Cybelles Pizza Daly City, CA
The price depends on the kind of pizza you order. We have never eaten in here, but we have ordered many pizzas from here. The pizzas are good compared to a lot of the other local pizza places around and we keep going back.
Great Steak & Fry Daly City, CA
What can I say? This is a fast food, food court type restaurant. I've had the fries (good) and the cheesesteake and chicken cheesesteak sandwiches..both ok, not exceptional, but it's fast food.
Bj's Restaurant & Brewery San Bruno, CA
I am so pleased that a BJ's opened near SF. I have gone many times to the BJ's down near UCLA in Westwood and love it. This BJ's in San Bruno opened a couple months ago and it's very hard to get into on a Friday or Saturday night, but otherwise it's a huge restaurant with plenty of seating. There is a very large menu, so even the pickiest of eaters can find something to eat, and like. I have tried all sorts of things from pizzas to sandwiches, to just about everything in between and have liked it all. Portions are large and filling. They have pizza, pasta, stuffed potatoes, sandwiches, chicken, etc etc. The list goes on and on. They also are a brewery and have tons of beers on the menu, along with any drink you could possibly want. The best thing about BJ's is the PIZZOKIE...a very fresh, warm from the oven large cookie with ice cream on it. Go for that if nothing else! Yummy!
Hoffman's Bakery Cafe Santa Cruz, CA
This place is wonderful! Recently spent the weekend in Santa Cruz and while walking downtown ran across Hoffmans. Went for a late breakfast and had the most wonderful eggs benedict on artichoke bottoms I think I have ever had. My husband had an omlette which he said was filled to the brim with fresh ingredients. All breakfasts are served with delicious scones and the service could not have been friendlier. We loved it so much we went back the next day for lunch and were very satisfied with the salad and sandwiches we had. I recommend this place highly if you are walking around downtown Santa Cruz. There is also a Bakery, but we didn't buy anything, although it all looked very good.
Gilbert Seafood Grill Santa Cruz, CA
I guess I am just spoiled by the wonderful seafood restaurants we have here in San Francisco, because this one was very disappointing. It was recommended by some locals, but there were many other fish restaurants on the wharf that probably would have been better. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but we had fried scallops which were alright, except the fries that came with them were less than good. One person ordered a special which is salmon with spinach wrapped in filo, but it sounded better than it tasted. The french bread was ok, but not SF sourdough, and the service as ok too, but not exceptional. We were less than impressed and will not go back. Dinner for three was around $75.
Rosie Mccann's Irish Pub & Restaurant Santa Cruz, CA
This place is great! A long stairway leads you up to a very pleasant restaurant and bar. Service was very, very friendly and the food was great. We had a burger and fries (exceptional and very large), and corned beef and cabbage which was excellent also. A huge beer selection as well. The atmosphere is very casual, the service friendly and helpful, and the food great! I recommend this place highly!
Foster Freeze Alameda Alameda, CA
Gosh, haven't seen one of these for years. This one is ok, but nothing to write home about. Went there to get a softy ice cream, which was ok, but again, nothing special. It's been at this location for years and it's still in business, so it must be doing something right, although the few times I've driven by it I haven't seen anyone in it.
Noah's Bagels Alameda, CA
Just ate lunch here yesterday. The shopping center is being redone, but Noah's is still around. The bagels are as good as ever, if you like Noah's bagels. I bought a half dozen, which disappered quite quickly once I got them home. They bake them fresh daily. I had, for the first time, a turkey club panini which was EXCELLENT. I would recommend it highly. A friend had a pastrami sandwich which rivaled Max's in size! Subway Sandwiches was right across from Noah's in this shopping center and shut down unexpectedly, but Noah's is a good alternative, even better than Subway, albeit a bit more expensive.
Sneakers Pub & Grill San Carlos, CA
Went to the San Carlos Art & Wine Festival yesterday and ran across Sneakers while there. What a great place! The menu is so large that even the pickiest eater could find something to eat. They have tables outside, which are great. The service was friendly, and the food was wonderful! We had burgers, sandwiches and salads. All were large portions, more than we could eat actually, and all of excellent quality. I am anxious to go back to try some other things from their large menu.
El Torito Burlingame, CA
El Torito is a chain, and like so many other chains the food is adequate, even good, but not great. The prices here are average, and the food is served in healthy portions. I like most everything I have ever had here, but with all the choices down by this restaurant, Elephant Bar, Gullivers, Max's, etc...I think I'd chose somewhere else unless I was really craving American Mexican food. The chips are good, served warm, but I think Chevy's are better.
Johnny Rockets San Francisco, CA
Johnny Rocket's is a great place to grab a quick hamburger and fries. They are pretty much like most fast food places, but a step above. I agree with most other posts here, I'd choose Mel's burgers and shakes over Johnny Rocket's any day, but if you are in the neighborhood it's a quick stop and it fills you up.
Saltgrass Steak House Galveston, TX
I set up this restaurant on here and posted the above review, but I forgot to put my name, so I'm adding another review to hopefully make it seem more legitimate. The restaurant is wonderful. Service is friendly, as most service was in Texas. Steaks and prime rib were excellent, along with every other dish we had (see above). I would not think twice about going back to this great steakhouse. It is very casual, with ample parking. They do not take reservations, but we went on a Saturday night around 8PM and got right in. If you are on Galveston Island try this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.
International House of Pancakes Galveston, TX
I set this restaurant up and forgot to put my name on it, so I'm writing another short review to make it more legit. We were in Galveston recently taking a cruise from there and had one morning when we needed to eat breakfast. The IHOP was a short distance from our hotel, so we went over there. It is a very large IHOP, and even so, the wait on a Sunday morning was about 20 - 25 minutes. The service was good, but the food was less than adequate. I eat at IHOPS occasionally, thinking that they do serve a good breakfast, but this one was not very good and I would not recommend it.
Morton's Steakhouse Arnie Los Angeles, CA
Wanted to compare this to places like Harris', Ruth Chris and Alfred's in SF and I must say that the night we were there last week the food was excellent. I can't say it's better than the other restaurants I mentioned, but it was comparable in quality and price. If you want a great steak, good wine and a very nice place to go, go here. You can't miss!
Pink's Hot Dog Stand Los Angeles, CA
Was told I MUST MUST MUST go here next time I was in LA to get a hot dog, and I'm so glad I did. I seldom eat them, but this place makes me want to have more! Line was rather long, but well worth the wait. We had chili dogs and onion rings...to die for! GO!
French Quarter Market Place Restaurant Los Angeles, CA
I don't know how this place was put in the "French" category, except the name has the word "French" in it. It reminds me of of "The Elephant Bar" in a way, as they have a huge menu, but nothing really "French" on it. They have hamburgers, salads, etc...it's all ok, but nothing outstanding. They do have a patio outside where you can eat, but it is on a noisy street. We've always had good service here and the place is usually busy, but the wait times have been minimal. I had a club house sandwich this last time I was there and it was good. The soups are apparently good too, but I have never had one.
Jose Bernstein's Los Angeles, CA
This little "hole in the wall" place, not an eat in restaurant, is within walking distance from UCLA and extremely cheap. It is in Westwood, like so many other little tiny food places. The students eat here all the time, or so I'm told by one of my kids who goes to school there. I had a burrito which cost about $2.50 and it was adequate. It's ok food, cheap prices and fast.
Bj's Pizza & Grill Los Angeles, CA
I love this restaurant! It's right near UCLA and every time I go down to see my kids we go there. The pizza's are great, but so is everything else on the menu. The best thing is the pizookie or however you spell that. It's a warm cookie, sort of undercooked, in a round pan that is covered with ice cream. Go there for just that if nothing else. They are great! Parking is hard, but everywhere in Westwood is.
Acapulco's Mexican Restraunt Los Angeles, CA
Went here just this week while visiting LA and as always, the food is good, but not exceptional. For people around the Bay Area it's about on a par with Chevy's. We had fajitas (good, but not served with cheese) and fish tacos. The fish was very fishy, but ok. The mojito was not so great, but having just come back from Jamaica I guess we really should not compare. Prices are about the same as any other Mexican chain type restaurant. I would return.
