I've been coming to Bay City Bistro for quite sometime. Always clean, always fresh food. Today was no different, Had a Asian Chicken Salad ...delicious. I usually get the delicious burgers here, but I'm trying to lose a few lbs. Many choices on the menu! See you there!

Baja fish bowl
Dhoris P.

This place is just down the street from my office. It's in an industrial area so it might get overlooked. It's one of my go to spot for lunch as it is just down the street from my office. The guys here are supper friendly and the service is always great. I order online and my food is ready when I get here. The dining area is huge and outdoor seating is also available. I've ordered the avocado toast, veggie sandwich, salmon burger w/ fries and falafel wrap in the past. But today I ordered the baja fish bowl. It's tasty and always consistent. It's got Spanish rice, citrus slaw, corn & black bean salsa and pico de gallo. The cod is perfectly fried w/ a spicy aioli sauce. So good. They offer a variety of dishes on their menu. I have never gotten a bad meal. Stop by if you're in the area, you will not be disappointed.

Iced Vanilla Latte w/Soy Milk

New to working in this industrial area, been having a tough time finding a close lunch spot until today. Saw this place driving to work and decided to try, well worth it! Got a breakfast burrito and iced coffee for less than $20 which is nice. Burrito was flavorful and good sized. Coffee was good! Can't wait to explore the menu more soon. Would recommend.

This place was a nice surprise in the midst of an industrial business park. We needed to pack some sandwiches for a hike across the bay and chose Bay City Bistro because it's proximity to 92. We were sad to hear we were their first customers in two days. That being said they built my veggie sandwich to perfection. The carrots and cucumbers were nice and crunchy and there was a generous amount of avocado. It held together quite well for the few hours it sat in our backpack. We will be back next time we're in the area!

VEGAN REVIEW: Obscure exterior, clean and contemporary interior. From the outside the small cafe looks like another white-walled business - sort of camouflaged among the similar-looking buildings. The inside is very clean and organized. The interior reminds me of a hotel cafe. There are fountain drinks, bottled juices and waters, packaged chips, cookies, and candy that can be purchased separately from the meal. Empty at 11AM on a Tuesday, but started filling up around the lunch hour: ~12pm. I had the falafel salad which was marked "vegan". It is the only vegan item on the menu. There are also 2 or 3 vegetarian menu items. I actually really liked the falafel salad - it came with sliced cherry tomatoes, pepperoncinis, and 3 small falafels sliced into fourths on a bed of romaine. It also came with a tahini dressing. The falafels had a really yummy flavor; they were slightly dry but fine with the tahini. Tomatoes were fresh but sparse as were the pepperoncinis. Overall, a good and satisfying meal for vegans. Creamy tahini was really good. Wish it didn't come so sparse.

Yes that is the amount of Salmon that is on the Salmon Cobb!!

Has COVID caused a Salmon shortage? Can we add a disclaimer to the description on the menu that the salmon on the Cobb is the size of 2 croutons? And the cucumbers were s

This was probably one of the best BLTA croissant sandwiches I've ever had. The croissant was buttery and flakey. The bacon was crispy but not greasy. The lettuce and tomato was fresh and they put the right amounts of mayo. They could have put more avocado but whatever. It was 6 plus tax plus tip. Great lunch! Also my lunch date liked his Cesar salad wrap with added bacon! We love bacon

I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner and left happy and full. I ordered a triple burger with…read moreno salt and chicken fries. The burger was $15, and the chicken fries were $9. The burger was fresh and made with high-quality ingredients. Honestly, I liked it even more than Billy Roy's smash burger, and they're amazing. The chicken fries were miles better than Burger King's, came in a generous portion, and tasted freshly made--definitely worth the price. I also really enjoyed the South Asian spices in the sauce and chicken fry seasoning. This was my first visit to their brick-and-mortar location, though I've ordered from their food truck before. The customer service was great, too, and I'll certainly be back!

Once you enter, you'll see some booths off to the side, a few bar stools and you can either order at the giant screen by the door or with the cashier. The menu is pretty straightforward. I opted for the single, my husband opted for the double, and we got some cajun fries to share. The place itself isn't big and it can be tough waiting for a table to open up if you come during busy hours, but we got lucky enough to snag a table. I will say, the staff was friendly. The food did take a while and I assume it's due to a mixture of online orders and in person orders so business is booming at least. Overall, I think the food was fine. I like the sauce they use in their burgers, but the cajun fries fell for me (got soggy in the cup) and the prices are kind of steep.

DAIRY BELLE PERMANENTLY CLOSED?!?!? My heart is broken!…read more I started coming here when I was 12 in 1967. Back then a soft-serve ice cream cone, chocolate, vanilla or twist was 10¢. A chocolate-dipped cone was 15¢. Or, you could get a large (very!) cone for 25¢. The best on a hot summer day! It was always a challenge to eat that big cone before the sun started to melt it! More recently my favorite meal was their grilled cheese sandwich with bacon, pickles on the side, the best fries you've ever had, and a root beer. For a treat, a chocolate malt or a Riptide, chocolate ice cream with raspberry swirl. Another treasured business gone. A gotta-have-it food craving doomed to be forever unsatisfied! To the family that owned Dairy Belle, there will never be another you. Thank you for the memories!

I finally got to try this spot with friends, and we ordered a small carne asada fries, a patty…read moremelt, a grilled cheese, and a Riptide. The carne asada fries were a hit and definitely enough to share between two people. My husband really liked the patty melt, and the grilled cheese also hit the spot. The Riptide was really good--we went with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Butterfinger mix-ins, which I'd recommend. Next time, I'd love to try one of their soft serve cones. There's ample parking available, and they also have a few booths inside if you want to dine in

I'm pretty impressed with this Five Guys. I was there during a lunch rush, and they cranked out…read moreburgers and fries like rock stars. The place was straight up busy, but they had a long counter, with a burger assembly line to move the orders along. I ordered the classic combo for $14.99 with my burger "all the way" so it was big and sloppy. Just like a burger should be! It had grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and oozed all that good stuff with every bite. The fries were natural cut and oh-so-crisp. I wish I knew their secret. I had a lemonade, with a free refill to wash it all down. The restaurant was spotless inside, and had bags of peanuts stacked on the floor. I helped myself, for someone thing to munch while I waited for my combo. Nice job guys! All five of you!

The employees at this location were terrible at customer services. They're only nice to customers…read morewho speak Spanish. If you don't speak or understand Spanish, don't come here. They talked shit about you in Spanish with each other in front of you. I learned Spanish in school so I understood them. They made my order wrong and refused to pay me back the difference. Especially, the store manager, who asked me to go file complaint but refused and was afraid to give me her name. All of the employees there did not have their name tags. On my receipt that the she gave me, her name was Kimberly. Hopefully, it was her real name. She was a Spanish lady. She had no manner of a manager. She was rude and acted that she didn't need customers. It was the first time in my life that I met a store manager like her. I felt SORRY for Jose Garzona to hire her. She will push all your customers away. I'm a loyalty customer for more than 10 years. My family and friends will never come back to this location. This location deserves ZERO star.

Drive-up burger joint with a cult-worthy double patty: Val's might be my new Bay Area #1…read more I only moved to Castro Valley this summer, so I'm still working through the East Bay burger scene. Before this, my top spot belonged to Hinano Burger in Marina del Rey, way down in the SoCal/LA area. Val's Burgers in Hayward just knocked it off the throne. I expected a regular burger with frozen patties. What I got tasted fresh, like hand-formed beef, with a real sear and a juicy pink center. The $27 Papa Burger is a double-patty stack drowned in melted cheese. It's pricey, but it's huge and lasted me three meals, so it's worth every penny. The cheese is borderline overwhelming. I had to pause mid-burger with a cholesterol headache, and I'd still order it again. The $8 fries come stuffed in a paper bag, plenty to share. The vanilla milkshake was thick, creamy, and divine. **Know before you go:** - **Cash only.** Call in your order. - It's mostly a drive-up, park-and-grab takeout spot, with some outdoor tables in the back. - Service is friendly and efficient. Someone came out to take our order even though it's takeout. - The menu is now just burgers, fries, and shakes. The vintage sign still advertises hotcakes, steaks, and fish, but those are gone. The retro signage and the "Stop & Relax" clock make the place feel like a time capsule. If you're hunting for the best burger in Hayward or the East Bay, go here. Bring cash and an appetite.

Come on now... This spot is a classic! This has been here multigene's and has the papa and the mama…read moreburger... perfectly cooked wavy fries soft in the middle crispy crunchy on the outside.
