“Food isn't always consistent. I usually buy chicken pot pies and 3 times last year ( a little too often to be a mistake) I got a pot pie that seemed like it was the last pie to fill and it got very little gravy fill, a few vegetables and 1 small piece of chicken, the pie was nearly dried up inside because there was so little filling it baked down. I called and told them the second time & they only apologised. The last time was Christmas week 12/23/24. I had grabbed my food from the drive thru & left for the grandkids in Merced, 3 hours later, I found no spork or napkin to eat with. I heated the pie to warm for a minute in the microwave & opening the crust found I had more crust than filling. I haven't returned to the Oakdale store, I'll drive the 4.5 miles to Riverbank if I want KFC in the future!“
“My recent visit left me thoroughly impressed, and I couldn't wait to share my experience. First and foremost, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. The flame-grilled chicken here is simply unparalleled. Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor, each bite is a symphony of smoky goodness. Whether you opt for the classic quarter chicken meal or indulge in one of their signature dishes, like the Pollo Bowl, you're in for a treat. And let's not forget the sides! From the zesty citrus-marinated elotes to the creamy and decadent mashed potatoes, every accompaniment elevates the meal to new heights. The ambiance of the restaurant is another highlight. Whether you're dining in or taking your meal to go, the vibrant colors and lively music transport you to a fiesta-like atmosphere. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day or gather with friends and family for a memorable meal.“
“This is a newer location for El Pollo Loco. Riverbank.The food is always hot, fresh , and good.The service is fast for fresh food.They are a busy location and if yiu use the drive thru at times it takes a while to get through.If you like keto or veggie you have good options here.“
“The manager was extremely welcoming, down to earth, attentive, and more. He had such a great personality and energy that it made dining-in extremely pleasant even though the food wasn't exceptional! The food was ok though and the service and atmosphere made the food good if that makes sense. Wish I knew his name so I could call corporate and give him an extraordinary review.“
“We stopped at Bamboo Garden for the first time on our way back from a weekend trip to Yosemite. We ordered Vegetable fried rice, Buddha vegetables and Broccoli in Garlic sauce. Food was delicious and the waitress was very courteous. Lots of great options for vegetarians and portion sizes are very generous. We will definitely stop by whenever we are in the area.“
