“My local Carl’s Jr is amazing. I had an order for my family with Items That had special modification requests and my order was exactly as we hoped. Luna, the employee who helped us at the drive-through window was friendly and helpful. She answer questions about the mobile app so I would be able to use it in the future. Overall, this was a wonderful experience at the end of a stressful day.“

“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!“

“Food was good per usual standards. The only suggestion is to have better customer service and slow down when you're speaking. I couldn't understand a word being said when ordering at the drive thru. I had to ask her to slow down at which time she got mad at me and became irritated.“

“Late night taco munchies aft a Gwen Stefani concert,,,it's the same wth all JnB,,thy never put napkins wth ur order,,,u hv to ask for ketchup, hot sauce,,,“

“Haven’t been to this location so I was able to try it today. I got the 2 scoops for $14.50! It was fresh and lots of topping options which was nice. Only the avocado is extra.

They don’t mix the sauce with the protein, they put it on top. I tried the wasabi cilantro sauce on the side and it was good.

I enjoyed it and would go back.“

“Very clean and welcoming place with a beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant is always well maintained, the tables are kept spotless, and the interior design is beautiful.

All of the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Service was fast, and everyone I interacted with was kind and welcoming. I would especially like to thank the lady who helped me during my visit (I believe her name was Yali). She was incredibly warm, patient, and attentive, and was always happy to help whenever I needed assistance.

Overall, a wonderful experience with excellent customer service. Highly recommended“

“Just an incredible experience at the drive-through. I wouldn’t leave a review unless this was special and they were so helpful kind polite. I hadn’t been to El Pollo Loco in a while so I had a lot of dumb questions and they helped me customize my order. We’re very quick and charming.

No issues with the food either I asked for creamy chipotle sauce on my classic chicken burrito. Highly recommend it.“

“Great staff great food i got breakfast great employee she asked for my ice coffee if i wanted it plain i wasn't awake yet and there was another kevin there i thought my order was made already ice coffee too she was patient with me 🤣 also i did have issues with kiosk at front counter to place my order wouldn't let me donate or place my order it said debit cards doesn't work here so be careful using the ones at front counter middle and right other than that great awesome clean place what i like 😎💯🚀 rocket_ride_tatt2 was satisfied besides there payment and shrinkflation“

“This was probably the best large order pick-up experience I've had from a fast food place in the last couple years. Everything was correct, well packaged, and ready to go when I arrived. The staff were friendly, walking me through the order and helping carry it to my car. Great work!“

“Muy limpio amables y elcocinero muy guapo y servisial muy rapido para a tender y el manager exselente“

“This Del Taco has done a lot to turn itself around. After years of terrible service, I tried them after they completed a remodel and was surprised as how much better the store has become. The staff are friendly and have great customer service. And its so convenient to grab a bite on the way to Doheny which is a very short walk from the restaurant.“

“I like the Fesco bowl with rice,chicken, avocado, tomatoes, black beans onions,cilantro. Perfect size It was a nice change of healthy“

“The worker at the cashier (I think it was Mike or Michael) was cheerful, cracking jokes, making it a great experience. The food was also great and affordable for a family, thanks to the deals they offer here. I'll be sure to come back here more often.“

“After my massage, I was craving pretzels, so I decided to stop by Wetzel’s Pretzels. Luckily, there were no lines when I got there! The pretzels were so fresh and delicious warm, buttery, and perfectly salted. I devoured mine in seconds; honestly, it was the best pretzel I’ve ever had.
I ended up going back for seconds, and a guy named Sal (I believe that was his name) was so nice and hooked me up with another batch of fresh pretzels. His customer service was amazing super friendly and attentive.
Overall, everything from the food to the service was a 10/10. I’ll definitely be back for more fresh, buttery goodness! 🥨✨“

“I'm from HB and there's nothing like it......“

“As somebody who also works in customer service, I understand how essential (and difficult [at times]) it is to consistently maintain a positive attitude. That being said, David has easily been one of the best employees I've interacted with. I come here quite frequently, and he always speaks with much enthusiasm. Many of you drive-through folks might know who I'm referring to (yes, the one who is always high energy, be it day or night). I intend to keep coming, because it's those kinds of employees who make it worth it.“

“The second flame broiler I have been to. The food is simple and decently healthy. Just meat, rice, and veggies. The flavor is good and does not leave you feeling bloated. The staff are very friendly but the food comes out slowly. Seems like they are not sustainable, only 2 people working and not that busy. The interior is large and clean.“

“Guy is working the entire restaurant in Irvine on Barranca by himself today with a smile. Amazing, dude is amazing. I'm working harder today because of him.“

“I just had a Super Sub on the new Rosemary Parmesan bread. It was the best Italian sub I've had in a long time! The man who served me very patiently explained what prosciuttini and cappacuolo are (and told me about an off-menu sandwich with both of them that I might try next time). He prepared it Mike's Way, as any Italian sub should be. When I told him it was my first time patronizing a Jersey Mike's, he even threw in a free cookie :-) The quality of every component from the bread to the toppings was apparent when I bit in. I'll definitely be going back since it's just down the street from my home.“

“The food is in a corner food court. There are 4 or 5 places to eat there. The cashier didn't look like he was happy to work there. When I asked a question he grumbed some answer that I could't understand. They don't have Salsa Mocaljete anymore. They was my favorite.“

“This subway is right next to my work and I come here consistently. The ladies who work there are extremely sweet, and friendly with their customers, im always so happy to see them because i know every interaction i have with them is a good one. I order the same sandwich every time and I’ve never had any issues with them. I would recommend customers to come here to this Subway at the Mobil Gas station and the gas station workers are extremely sweet too. I only have positive things to say about these workers. I believe one of the subway employees who is always greeting me is Belen, and she is AMAZING. Honestly 10 out of 10 customer service, she is an outstanding worker!“

“While I was impressed by the portions for the price I was not impressed with a few things. Ordered a plate via the uber eats deal and it had a lot of promise. The portions as mentioned before were enormous and made me very happy, the quality of my katsu and rice were exceptional compared to the area but a few things were out of place. For starters the musubis shouldn't force you to get 2 I could see a two musubi combo with a drink for what I paid for (7 and change) but not having a single option for people who want to have one on its own is disappointing. Another thing I didn't agree with was the price of the mini plates which I probably would've gotten had they not been 14 and change (the price of a regular plate at other places). Minis should reflect the value proposition they aim to accommodate not be the same price of plates elsewhere. Also they for whatever reason while gave a lot of sauce had little to no substance. As someone who grew up on this I need the consistency and flavor that is standard and this was watered down and less concentrated as what I remember. If they made it thicker I'd get it I'd rather have 1 good one than 2 meh ones at best. Overall while I would try again I am a little taken aback by their way of doing things.

I'm conflicted about this process refine cause some stuff is done quite well and others very wrong. For example the prices and menu are close if not more expansive than others in the area but the food execution is a mixed bag at best musubis at best are thin and very lacking in sauce and nori quality. The mix plate and katsu are of varying levels of thickness sauce lacks consistency and food is either dry or bland in my 4 visits. I will give it that their service and speed is exceptional but the food has to back it up and it does and doesn't at the same time.“

“Fast service good food i like bacon and sheese tendercrisp“

“I absolutely love this Subway restaurant. Being open 24 hours is a huge plus for me, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Every visit leaves me satisfied. Although there have been a few instances when the food quality wasn’t ideal, my overall experiences have been overwhelmingly positive. I would definitely return without hesitation.“

“I am a regular at this Panda Express, visiting at least 200 times a year for lunch. Over the years, I’ve learned that not all locations are created equal, and this one is truly outstanding. The food quality is remarkably consistent—the Orange Chicken is always perfectly glazed and the Kung Pao has just the right balance. Even after years in business, the dining area remains spotless and modern, with no signs of wear and tear. It’s easily the most reliable location in Irvine.“

“Bummer, no Togo's near me (Fountain Valley...hint hint 😉), so I drove way out to grab a ton of huge sandwiches for the fam. Lasted two meals!

They're seriously unlike other places. Amazing bread, meats, and cheeses. The meat is thicker than the bread – unheard of these days!

Best sandwiches ever, and the best customer service too (IMO).“

“I like this Jersey Mike's. I miss your really great manager Ashley. The thing that concerns me is the Shore Point system. Your place doesn't honor specials from corporate. JULY is double point month. Yesterday we bought a giant I was told I had to make internet contact to solve the shore point issue. Not good!!! It is not resolved.“

“Each of the people that prepared our pizza were top tier!!! They prepared it so fast and as ordered. The guy cooking 12 pizzas at once cooked every single one perfectly while the woman doing the final prep was methodically managing the final steps. It was great teamwork, my pizza was ready in like 8 minutes and they all seemlessly performed their role!!! My son loved the pineapple pizza too.“
