Stopped to grab a quick bite for lunch…read more We ordered at the kiosk inside which was convenient to see what the dishes looked like and for customizing toppings. The lighting inside was a bit dark, but there were plenty of tables and seemed clean. Our order took a while to prepare. It seemed like they had a lot of mobile orders. We ended up waiting around 15-20 minutes for 3 bowls, and they did end up forgetting our hot sauces. We could have added them to our bowls ourselves since they have a station with hot sauce bottles, but we didn't notice until we were in the car. The bowls themselves were simple, had fresh ingredients, and was filling. This place seems like a slightly less sodium-heavy alternative to Chipotle for around the same price.

I like that this is a healthy fast option. It's definitely a whole food, you can recognize and name every ingredient. With all the synthetic and petroleum based additives going into food these days, it's good to have safe and healthy options. My favorite part is the Yumm sauce. This stuff is so delicious it should be classified as a narcotic. I doubled checked the barcode using my Yuka app and sure enough, it rates clean of additives. All this stuff is natural actual food, and they made it taste good! Imagine, healthy food that actually tastes good, especially the vegan version without any meat added. Walking in, the store feels very clean and comfortable. At first I noticed the array of do-it-yourself kiosks. I prefer to deal with humans, so I walk directly to the counter and happily enough, there is a smiling face asking if she can help me. I look up and there it is all laid out on the menu board. In no time I had it figured, ordered and paid for with the warm human interaction as opposed to the cold flat screen. This store is well lit with plenty of natural light coming through the large windows. This yumm sauce is amazing in its flavor. I think I have a new addiction for a while.

We've been coming here for years, but our recent visits have been really disappointing due to major…read moremenu and quality changes. Last time we came for brunch, we noticed the eggs Benedict no longer has the amazing Parmesan-crusted potatoes. The hollandaise is still decent and the focaccia bread is great, but losing that crispy crust was a big bummer. Today's visit for our usual wings and nachos was even more frustrating. First, they no longer offer ground beef for the nachos. We were told we could substitute steak, but that literally doubles the price of the dish. We opted for chicken instead, which was a steep $7 extra for maybe two ounces of meat. When the nachos arrived, they looked like low-effort, homemade oven nachos with just melted cheddar on top. The whole thing was fused together into one giant sheet of chips; we had to break it apart and manually pile the toppings back onto the chips ourselves. It was really weird. The biggest letdown, though, was the wings. It used to be a solid order of six traditional flats and drums. Today, we paid $14 for just four pieces, and they weren't even wings--they were frenched chicken thighs. Subbing a completely different, lower-quality cut of meat without telling the customer is false advertising, and they turned out dry. Plus, the sauce has changed from a traditional Frank's-style buffalo to a harsh cayenne sauce. Between the wings and the nachos, today's total came out to $34--and $40 with a tip. Paying premium prices for dry thigh meat, overpriced add-ons, and a block of fused-together nachos makes it really hard to justify coming back. I'm not sure if North Fork got bought out or what, but I really don't see a point in returning.

There were a lot of issues with the order one of the issues was that the salad dressing was literally hot when it arrived. The steak was missing etc. I was contacted by the owner who apologized and sent me a full refund. I will be trying this restaurant again but maybe in person instead of delivery. I feel very grateful that someone listened and gave us a refund. Um. What. First time ordering from here and last time. Why would this be $85?. Paid extra for steak AND for extra serving of steak on all 3 orders and got a small serving of steak on 2 orders and chicken on the other one, definitely not extra. Ok. The dressing was hot. Paid for 3 extra servings of potatos on one order and got what looks to be a regular serving. Worried we might get sick coz if the order is this off ..who knows. Hope not. Wanted to like it!!! The chicken tasted ok. The fruit cups were good except i paid for extra fruit and well .. nothing looks like the photos at all. My family is throwing a fit and won't even eat it. Ugh.

Several times recently I have gotten home with our order only to find a very small layer of cheese on it, some of the tortilla without any at all. I recently asked them about this and was told that they had been told to cut back on the cheese on their menu items. I can understand doing that on an item that has other ingredients, like a burrito with beans, etc. But one expects a normal amount of cheese on a "cheese" quesadilla that only has pico with it. I probably won't order that item from them again.

We were seated immediately, which was greatly appreciated since we still had some driving ahead of us. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly. The food was a mixed bag. The garlic and parmesan wings were delicious--probably the best that I have had at a restaurant. My partner liked their burger, and the fries were really good. They were very similar to fresh McDonald's fries. The Caesar salad with chicken was okay. I prefer a dressing that is more creamy, and the chicken was pretty tough. That aside, the prices were good, and it was a great pit stop since it was not far from the freeway. We would stop by here again!

I saw the employees wiping down tables and menus throughout my stay. The food was good, wish I would've ordered something other than the lunch burrito asada. The meat was sweet like sugar not like mole. But I didn't order a mole burrito. I think the prices are great, even outside of the specials. Also, I wasn't offered homemade hot sauces, so that is unfortunate since I like flavor and also heat. In the past I've had the skirt steak plate and the shrimp fajitas. The flavors there were superb. I'd definitely recommend this place.

There are restaurants that seduce you with promise, and others that test your patience before…read morerevealing their intent. Lion & Owl, on this particular morning, proved to be both--a place of evident talent, yet uneven discipline, where flashes of brilliance are offset by lapses that no serious kitchen should permit. Let us begin with the triumph. The buckwheat pancakes arrive not merely as breakfast, but as a composition. A stack of admirable loft and structure--evidence of a properly developed batter, handled with restraint and precision. The crumb is airy yet resilient, each bite yielding gently before dissolving into a delicate nuttiness inherent to buckwheat. A caramelized banana sauce pools generously, glossy and fragrant, its sweetness tempered by the cultured tang of crème fraîche. Toasted coconut chips scatter across the top like crisp punctuation, lending both aroma and texture. This is cooking that understands balance--sweetness checked by acidity, softness lifted by crunch, comfort elevated by technique. It is, quite simply, a five out of five dish. The kitchen, here, remembers what it means to nourish and delight. And then--alas--we encounter its counterpoint. The mushroom brioche toast, in conception, should be a study in harmony: buttery bread, earthy fungi, silken eggs, fresh greens. Yet the execution falters at its very foundation. The brioche--so essential, so central--is pushed past the threshold of caramelization into bitterness. In a bread so rich with butter and sugar, precision is everything; overcook it, and the entire structure collapses under a shadow of char. The garnish, too, feels careless--large stems of greenery draped without intention, rather than composed with purpose. It is a dish that looks promising from a distance but betrays its flaws upon inspection. A two out of five--a failure not of imagination, but of discipline. The brie and truffle macaron arrives as an afterthought--set aside, unannounced, uncentered, as though it were a spare utensil rather than a composed pastry. Presentation matters. It signals care. Here, there is none. And the macaron itself? A confection that should whisper with delicacy instead resists with age. The shell is hardened, the interior overly chewy--signs of time having passed unkindly. The flavor is confused: a sweet, almost vanilla shell encasing a mild, savory filling of whipped brie and timid truffle. Neither side asserts itself; neither yields to the other. It is neither dessert nor savory course, but a muddled compromise. A two out of five, and left unfinished--a silent verdict more damning than words. The mimosa, I am told, is bright and pleasing, though presented without flourish--a small omission, but telling in a restaurant aspiring to polish. A four out of five, competent yet unadorned. The pour-over coffee reveals a lighter roast profile: bright acidity at the fore, a nutty mid-palate, a gently lingering finish. It is, as you observed, "hipster coffee"--intentionally expressive, though perhaps too acidic for a more classical palate. On flavor alone, a three out of five. Yet the experience is marred by a most unforgivable intrusion: a hair in the initial cup. Such a thing should never reach a guest. Ever. And beyond the plate--there is service. Dishes arriving out of sequence. Eggs meant for one guest appearing with another's delayed entrée. A table divided, one diner finished while the other waits. Explanations that do not align with reality. Items placed without acknowledgment or intention. These are not minor stumbles; they are fractures in the very architecture of hospitality. The Verdict Lion & Owl is a restaurant caught between what it is capable of and what it consistently delivers. There is real talent in this kitchen--evident in the pancakes, in the conceptual ambition of the menu, in flashes of thoughtful composition. But talent without rigor is unreliable. And hospitality without coordination is hollow. For every moment of genuine pleasure, there is another of carelessness--overcooked bread, stale pastry, inattentive plating, lapses in cleanliness, and disjointed service. In the end, one must judge the whole, not the highlights. Overall score: 2 out of 5. A restaurant with promise--undeniably--but one that must remember that excellence is not achieved in moments. It is achieved in consistency, in care, and in respect for the guest at every stage of the meal. Until then, Lion & Owl remains... a place that almost is.
