But for the same price, we can get so much more at places like Oriental Market and just as delicious to satisfy our craving for Filipino food. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces out front, service was great and friendly. Seating space? Extremely limited, especially if you have a party of 5 or more. Best to order for takeout food which brings me to my main point - if I have to order Filipino takeout because of extremely limited seating, I'd rather simply get a la carte elsewhere and pay a lot less or hit up Rocklin area where there are restaurants that serve fantastic boba drinks with fantastic Filipino dishes for much more affordable prices! Is the food incredible? Yes! Will it satisfy your craving for Filipino food? Absolutely! Would I return? No, I wouldn't, to be perfectly honest. Regardless, I feel it's worth a try if you haven't yet but just be mindful of the highs and lows. It's not all great, but it's not all bad. Mediocre and average, at the very least, given all factors. Do I have high expectations of Filipino restaurants? You bet I do!

My plate featured brisket-pulled pork & pork rib,along with Green Chile Mac n cheese and jalapeño sweet slaw and 2 slices of bread and pickled veggies. Brisket was special,10/10-perfect ratio of meat ,seasonings and fat-really enjoyed it. Pulled pork was a solid 8/10-nice flavor and not dry,which happens with so many pulled pork dishes Pork Rib was a very memorable 9/10-meat just fell off the bone with magnificent flavor! Green Chile mac was so good I wish I had ordered 2 of them!!! Overall great experience trying this true Texas style BBQ and look forward to trying them again at their next pop-up!!!

But what I wasn't prepared for was how hard this food SMACKS. We took our food home to escape the rain and just sat there in dead silence absolutely CHOMPING on the delectable gift in front of us. I've had bbq from all across the US. I've had bbq from quite a few places who claim to have good bbq and they disappoint. But this place? So humbly dominates the BBQ game. For a rainy day, the whole Oakhouse team was in great, kind, friendly spirits and happy to dish up their well-rounded menu. Their mac and cheese had me doing that chewing-while-aggressively-pointing-at the-dish kind of thing and their brisket is the kind that doesn't need to hide behind a sauce and HALLELUJAH for that. If you're blessed enough to find one of their pop-ups, DO IT. bring yo camping chair, bring yo wife, bring an appetite. Thank you Oakhouse team for raising the bar!

Overall, a solid Peruvian spot and definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more dishes.

Two of us had the Green Goddess salad with tri tip, elote, avocado, tomatoes, fresh blue tortilla chips and a very tasty dressing. The flavor combination was delicious and probably one of the best meals I've had ever! My other friend ordered the Cabo Bowl with tri tip and loved it. We all shared blue tortilla chips and fresh guacamole. Healthy and delicious. Great prices, generous portions and a fun environment. The pop up was right next to Nectar and they had a nice selection of hard seltzer and fresh beer, wine was available also. Well worth the hour drive from Lincoln. We will be back soon. Highly recommended this amazing organic grill.

Tallow Organic Grill was tardy and tasteless. I went to their grand opening last weekend, and I…read morewill not be returning or recommending Tallow to anyone. I tried to be understanding regarding this being their first opening to public (outside of their soft opening). BUT after a 2 hour and 22-minute wait to get food, the owners need to reevaluate their business strategy. I took one star off for the poor service, and each food item. Regarding the service, I am frustrated that this weekend was advertising as a Grand Opening with Giveaways, etc. Tallow's staff were completely unprepared for the line. Additionally, once they were aware the wait was over 40 minutes after eventually getting to order, you should advise individuals on the wait time for them to make an informed decision on waiting. Also, when providing samples of your food, make sure the samples are good. The fries were incredibly cold, and the owner's wife dropped a non-alcoholic beer then handed it to me. You don't dropped beverages then hand them to customers. Similar to the service, the food was not thoroughly thought out or properly cooked. Starting with the chips and guac, Tallow's chips were not cooked properly or for long enough because the chips were chewy not crispy. Also, chips need to rest after being fried to dry and prevent sogginess. The chips were really oily, and you could tell that the chefs did allow the chips rest. Moving to the food, I ordered the barbacoa tacos and the chicken green goddess salad. The tacos literally split in half from the wetness of the barbacoa --- This makes no sense because (1) I saw them make the tacos in front of me and (2) I waited 2 hours and 22 minutes for fresh food. Owners, the tacos need either 2 tortillas or the tortillas need to be grilled longer to give them a harder structure. The flavors were good but the tacos dissolving into a lump should not be sold as "Tacos." It is offensive to taco lover everywhere. The salad was not much better: the chicken was incredible cold, hearts of lettuce were served, add more dressing, and -- For the Love of God - cut the grilled onions on your salads (see attached photo).

The sisig chicken was equally impressive, packed with flavor from the Asian marinade and finished with a delicious smoky char. Nox Barbeque truly gets it right. As an Asian American, I've always believed barbecue should come with rice, and I've never really connected with traditional coleslaw. Nox absolutely nailed the balance with their light Asian style slaw and perfectly seasoned rice. It felt both comforting and thoughtfully done. Thank you for creating a barbecue experience that feels both elevated and familiar.

I had already looked over the menu and knew I wanted to try the Pork Belly Sisig. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. I placed my order and added a spontaneous milk tea with boba, 'cause why not live a little. Food and drink came out quickly. The pork belly sisig was great, and consisted of shredded browned pork belly with a side of pickled veggies over a bed of rice, with a fried egg and two pieces of lumpia, garnished with a touch of diced white onion. Very tasty. I ordered the Jasmine Tea boba. Pro-tip: you can ask for less sweet on the teas. He customized my milk tea at 50% sweetness. I look forward to coming back to try the pork adobo, order more lumpia and try the spam musubi. It's been awhile since I've had good Filipino food! I grew up in a very culturally diverse area and missed these dishes, so I'm stoked to have this available right down the street from my work.

We learned on our very first visit how good the gumbo is and it's become a must ever since. The people who work here are friendly and you can tell they have a lot of regulars who stop in for food. There's a gravel lot right next to the building and you can take your food to go or enjoy it there. Our food took about 15-20 minutes and then we took it home to enjoy. The portions are definitely fair for the price. They also pack everything well for the ride home. The gumbo is our favorite, it's flavorful and packed with protein like their sausage, chicken, and shrimp and has just a hint of spice. We tried their riblets for the first time and it was a generous portion and we really enjoyed the bbq sauce they used. The mac and cheese is good, but I like mine creamier. It does have a little spice which was nice. The dressing was packed with flavor and we were excited they offered this side because you don't see it everywhere. Their hot water cornbread is definitely something they're known for and is really good on its own or dipped into the gumbo. The Palmer here tastes like Brisk raspberry tea mixed with lemonade, and we really enjoy this twist on it. Overall this spot is a local gem and we love visiting.

I was recommended Tori's Place for their fried chicken so I gave it a shot. I found the lightly crispy skin to be excellent. You can see the herbs and spices that they use in the breading and the taste is outstanding. It's one of the best chicken skins I've had. The combo meal comes with three pieces - a wing, thigh, and drum. You also get your choice of side as well as their hot water butter cornbread. Though I loved the exterior taste of the chicken, I found the inner part to be less quality than I would have liked. Certainly not bad, but I could tell that the actual chicken quality wasn't as high. As fried chicken is, the grease factor is there so expect to use a lot of napkins! The side I chose was mac and cheese, and Tori's doesn't skimp! I found their portion to be very nice. The mac and cheese was also very creamy and soft. It was very comforting to eat. The cornbread was interesting and very large. It wasn't my favorite thing, but it was an interesting bite for sure. Tori's is especially famous for their gumbo, so the next time I go I'm going to give it a try!
