Then I saw the sign that says they are open. Order at back door. The workers were so nice and they were quick to get the food out. It’s not easy for them with all the back and forth to the front for the cash register. I really appreciate them and the food.”

“My dad is a service related disabled Vietnam veteran. Today I took him to get his special free veteran’s day meal. Thank you Denny’s for allowing him to take it to go. He has trouble walking and sitting for too long lately and has been reluctant to go out much, especially to crowded restaurants, due to COVID 19. The meal was amazing! He had enough pancakes to share with his grandkids.😉 Even as busy as you were, the service was amazing and quick. I think he waited a total of 10 mins. Maybe consider handing out a free meal card for next year to still help avoid the large crowd that was still present and did not allow for social distancing. You did way better than IHOP who stipulated he had to eat it there and not get it to go and they were packed as well. We left and went straight to you. Thank you for recognizing and supporting all service members, past and present.”

“Food is always good and the service is great! I come here a lot these days 😊”

“This place is always a solid choice. I go maybe once every month or two and it's always a delight. I've had most of their bentos and they are tasty and a decent amount of food for the price. They're hot sake ? is an excellent addition to the evening. And they are the restaurant that has been getting me to try sushi again and I am starting to like it as a result. The customer service is good and the place has an excellent atmosphere for a fun night out

Parking: It's a large parking lot overall, but it is a busy area. While there is typically no issue finding a spot, it may be a ways away from the restaurant”

ALSO for all the uncultured folks, PLEASE STOP ASKING FOR A TO GO BOX for your left over PHO. That is absolutely frowned upon. It's idiotic to even do so. It's the dumbest thing anyone could do. SMFH...”

“This place is great, flavors are authentic and the food is made to order. They don't have pupusases ready made and sitting in a freezer or refrigerator so they taste freash and homemade. The cabbage is perfect also. Tried the yucca and it was the best I've had from any restaurant ever. I will definitely be returning often.”

Danielle is a pro at the oven and super nice. She has a great attitude and really cares about what she does. There is a girl at the topping station that is Breaking world record topping speeds. These guys all need raises.”

“The atmosphere and pizza here are consistently great. The owner and employees are very friendly and make us feel at home. Great food, late night (3am) service, multiple televisions with sports and fights, what more could you ask for? We love coming here!”

“This is a perfect place for big events and parties. They can accommodate 400 plus people with huge kitchen and ample parking space. We always have a great time going to this building. Highly recommended!!!”

“First time here and I was surprised.
The place is nice, but its empty from the inside. Its somewhat quiet, so it's calm. The waiter was polite and gave us chips and salsa. She was really patient.
I ordered a quesadilla "herradero" which is pretty big and it has a wonderful taste. I feel like it was a reasonable price.
At the end the waiter gave us peppermints. :)”

“The service was prompt and friendly. the food was really good. The salsa was tasty but could have had a little more heat. That's just a preference. I had the chili relleno burrito and it was exactly what I hoped it would be.”

“I finally found a GREAT, DELICIOUS TACO PLACE! My husband took his first bite of his burrito - and said it exploded with flavor! Everything is delicious 😋‼️ I do not need to travel to Downey anymore for tacos & burritos.”

“I love my burritos simple and spicy! I just had one of the best ever at Nena’s. Meat cilantro onions and red sauce is almost enough for me?
I want to cry, sweat and have my nose run by the time I finish my simple burrito.
Best Ever!!”

“Ice cold beer, pool, karaoke, great people, great staff love this place! I'll always stop here whenever I'm in Santa Maria.

Parking: Parking is okay but sometimes sucks whenever the place is packed.”

“This place was excellent! We had lengua, carnitas, al pastor, pescada and cameron (sp?) tacos, and all were phenomenal! I am a bit of a spice weenie so it was a bit out of my comfort zone, but nothing "Mas crema, por favor" could not solve. :) My husband, who has a higher spice tolerance, absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this place. The jamaica is really good, too. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Santa Maria.”

“I love �”

“We had such a lovely time tonight! Our family biked over looking for dinner to end Mother's Day with a memorable experience and this place did not disappoint. The service, food & atmosphere were just all simply fabulous. The owner came by as well to say hello. We'd love to come back sometime and try more of their unique tasting dishes!”

“Their food is honestly so delicious. The bread is hands down the best in santa maria. You can tell everything is made daily and is fresh. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. It's a must, especially for their bread!”

“Honesty the best Chinese cuisine on Long Island. I started with Pearls back in the 1980’s in Manhattan and have followed them all these years! Cathy is the most gracious hostess’s and her staff as well! I love SAM!! The CHEF’s are fabulous and there presentation is spectacular!! Thank you for a wonderful Baby Shower… Kerri”

“I love this place, and the boys are such gentlemen.”

“Food and service are outstanding been going to Bill’s takeout for over 25 years Armando and Liz are great people always friendly place keep up the great work 😎”

“We've been looking for a buffet with healthy food ever since Hometown Buffet closed several of their locations on the central coast. We go as often as possible to V Star Buffet and thoroughly enjoy every visit. If you arrive before 2pm their lunch is only $15. I love the fact that most of their foods do NOT contain MSG and they will tell you which food contains the MSG if you ask. Although it might not be Chinese in origin, I love their coleslaw. The only improvement I'd like to see is a "heat" indicator so I know which dishes are spicy. They use a large amount of mushrooms, an item that's hard to find in most restaurants. I'm also gluten intolerant and I don't have any problem finding food that I can eat at the V Star Buffet. Their ice cream is the best we've ever tasted -- rich and full bodied. They don't have a designated employee standing at the counter to dish the ice cream for you, but the friendly staff are quick to notice that you're standing near the ice cream and they come immediately to dish it out for you. Their staff are very professional and tend to be on the quiet side, but if you indicate that you'd like more water it seems to appear as if by magic. It's true that they use disposable plates, but they've switched back to using metal utensils rather than the plastic ones they used during covid. And they provide an ample amount of napkins without us having to ask for more. If you want quality food, at a reasonable price, and aren't specifically looking for traditional Chinese food then we recommend you stop by for lunch. We might just be there too.”

“This place just ripped me off but I went through it. Should’ve been $13.49 they told me $32.49 I paid it plus give him a tip. I am old hard of hearing but they took a vantage of me.

“Our anniversary cake was beautiful and delicious! Thank you for a job well done.”

“Delicious food, clean food and restaurant, and service with a smile. Both front and kitchen staffs are knowledgeable and go beyond to offer outstanding customer service. My family and I will definitely keep coming back for more.”

“Absolutely the best food! Service is outstanding and the quality of food suburb. Love the shrimp rolls.. So glad they are back on menu”

“I am always on the lookout for the best places to enjoy lunch and dinner with customers, friends and family. I look for places that are not your cookie cutter run of the mill restaurants, Well that is this place, one of my new favorites, and truly one of the best places in town to enjoy. If you come here and can not enjoy/appreciate the taste of this amazing food well you better go to the Dr as your taste buds may need to be tested. If you come to this place and don’t feel totally relaxed, Maybe you should seek counseling as your too up tight, shoot get a beer and relax, as you need to open your mind to what a true authentic place to decompress and enjoy your inner foodie is. I highly recommend TSBK. Signed by a guy that loves good food and don’t pass out free undeserving reviews. This will be your new spot! Enjoy!”

“I have eaten at this restaurant a couple times now and their food is great. Can't beat their eggs benedict anywhere in town. Service is great more people should try this restaurant.”

“I eat at Huckleberry’s at least twice a month, today however my experience was not good to the point that I did not leave a tip and feel terrible about that. I went in around noon on Sunday, I knew it would be busy. I signed in for one and was told it would be a 10 minute wait. I sat there roughly 10 minutes. Two ladies came in signed in. Apparently they knew one of the waitress and were seated a few minutes later even though I was there before them. A waiter then approached the hostess and pointed at the clipboard, the hostess told him she was not going to seat one person in a booth. So I approached the hostess that initially signed me in and inquired why the two ladies were given a booth even though I was there before them, she didn’t know and looked for the waitress who sat them. The waitress proceeded to move them to a bigger booth to seat me. I was very disappointed. I realize it was not right to leave a tip but customers should not be given preferential treatment.”

“Greatest bathrooms too parr no homeless kind @,all yay thank goodness
