Was in the area for Title Nine's annual Replay sale and wanted to have breakfast. So I found this…read moreon my route to work and what a delightful surprise! Nothing fancy, just basic, hearty diner food. It's Denny's, Black Bear Diner, iHop, or Bob Evans without logos and franchise baggage. I had the country breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns, ham steak, and wheat toast. It was all exactly what I expected and wanted. The wait staff are friendly and attentive, and the owner is a sweet lady running the register and folding napkins around silverware. Outside, Sukie's is hardly noticeable, tucked away at the edge of a strip mall parking lot. Inside, it's like every diner I've ever been in. If I had children, this would be my weekend family brunch spot.

It's been so long since I've been to Pear Street Bistro, and while in the area recently for a few…read moreevents, I popped in with some friends on two different occasions. Love seeing this spot so lively! Both visits were for apps and sips, but I did notice they added more dishes and variety to the menu for lunch/dinner options. Friendly service, fun atmosphere, and also different rooms within the space pending what your feeling ~ the bar area for drinks/apps, the restaurant space if wanting to truly sit down and have that type of intimate environment too. The Pear Salad has always been my go-to, and happy it's still on the menu. Chopped lettuce, gorgonzola crumbles, candied walnuts, champagne vinaigrette, and pear slices. I also enjoyed the Cheese Please for sharing, which comes with toast, three different cheeses, dried cranberries, pears, candied walnuts, and olives. Can you sense the pear theme? We were heading to a play at the Pinole Community Playhouse (walkable & across the street), but check out Pear Street's fun happy hours, events, and weekly specials. Plenty of restaurant parking in the back too.

Came here for the Cinco De Mayo event. We were a party of 9. They had a DJ…read more The food came out hot and it was delicious. They were no complaints in the area from anyone. One of our party members ordered the Rum Punch. It was overly sweet. Another ordered a drink that was not great at all, sent it back.. only to be told that they do not take back drinks, but made an exception that time. However, if the drink is made wrong or disgusting.. there shouod be understanding around that. We ordered the bottomless Mimosas. It seemed like it was difficult to get a grenadine on the side because I had to constantly ask for it. We had to talk to the manager because our waitress was not consistent with the pouring of bottomless. We lost about 30 to 45 mins of time because of it. The manager understood and granted us more time. I also did not like that fact that our finished plate sat on the table way longer than what they should have. Maybe the waiter was overwhelmed or overworked.

This was not my choice of restaurant but I went w/ my uncle & aunt, real meat eaters !!…read moreSo the waitress stated this is a meat place & they stopped carrying veggie burgers , plus they had no vegetables ! NO VEGETABLES ?!! But I was able to get a very plain salad ( iceberg, cucumber, tomato & croutons ) a w/italian dressing plus some sautéed mushrooms & the ever reliable French fries !! ( Definitely not a place for vegans but vegetarians would be ok if they ate dairy & eggs ) I couldn't believe they discontinued the veggie burger & had no frozen California blend veggies ! I won't be going back !!!!! Plus the fries were not that great either !! They were shoestrings but some were overcooked : really hard & dry ( uneatable ) ! There was not really notable decor , but it just seemed old & outdated, not in a charming way !!

So I never leave reviews but this time I have to. My family and I have been eating at Embers since…read moreI was 5 or 6 years old and have always liked the food. The last 4 times my parents have gone there, Embers has gotten a simple plain cheeseburger wrong. My sister always asks for "A plain cheeseburger, meat and cheese only" This time we were given a plain hamburger, no cheese or anything else. The times before were a hamburger with mayonnaise, a cheeseburger that literally had everything on it and the other time it was a plain hamburger again. I don't know if the food ticketing system has changed or what but I've heard my sister order a plain cheeseburger each time while on the phone with them and this is what happens ...

A solid local breakfast spot with big portions and good comfort food…read more Planned for today to be my rest day... but that didn't happen so I stopped by Cafe Soleil for breakfast afterward. Went solo and sat at one of the high tops. Started with coffee, which was actually really good for diner coffee. I ordered the chicken fried steak with crispy hashbrowns covered in Monterey Jack cheese and a sweet cream pancake. The chicken fried steak was well seasoned and flavorful. I just wish the breading had been a little crispier. The gravy was definitely a highlight though. The hashbrowns had good flavor but were a little soft in the middle compared to how crispy I personally like them. Now the pancake... HUGE. Basically plate-sized. The sweet cream batter already gives it sweetness on its own, but once you add butter and syrup it really takes it over the top. Overall, a really good breakfast and definitely a solid option for breakfast or lunch in the area. They can get busy, but if there's a wait it's worth sticking around for.

I have worked in several restaurants and the fact that the server places the bill on your table…read morewhile your still eating is the most rude not professional move a restaurant does you ask yourself they the restaurant doesn't know if your going order something else off the menu so this restaurant is one of those restaurants that place the bill on your table while your still eating they should wait until you ask for the bill and not feel rushed out hurry up finish your food you want to feel comfortable and enjoy your food and not feel hurred out hopefully this place breaks that bad habit.

The restaurant is currently under a renovation but they were still open. Our waitress Celeste is…read morereally nice and good. They had a new special I will post the picture so you can get it. The burger special was just a regular burger but still good. The manager I think her name was Bernadette sounded kind of rude on the phone. You can hear here raise he voice very loudly maybe she should turn down the music if she can't hear. She also never comes by the table to check on customers like most Apple bees do. Overall we had a good lunch and thank you Celeste!

I'm really disappointed with my experience at Applebee's in Pinole. This was especially upsetting…read morebecause my husband and I were there celebrating our 11th anniversary, and unfortunately, the experience completely took away from what was supposed to be a special night for us. This was actually my second time going to Applebee's this week, and unfortunately, I experienced similar issues both times. The service was not good. My waiter was okay, but it took a very long time for my drink to come out. I shouldn't have to wait that long just for a drink. The food was even more disappointing. I ordered my steak medium-well, but it came out dry and overcooked, and my food was cold. I also ordered the onion soup, and that was cold too. The cheese wasn't even melted. At that point, I was extremely disappointed. We went out to celebrate our 11th anniversary and enjoy a nice dinner together, but instead we spent the evening dealing with slow service and cold, poorly prepared food. I really wanted to enjoy our anniversary dinner, but unfortunately, Applebee's in Pinole ruined what should have been a special occasion. After having a similar experience earlier this week, I honestly don't know if I would come back.

No lie, I've lived in the area my whole life and never heard of Angel's until Kool John's video…read morestarted going around! We got the jelly breakfast sandwich, like everyone else, and honestly, it was really good! I thought it was going to be overhyped lol, but the bread was nicely toasted and buttery and the strawberry jam went well with all the other ingredients. We got white bread and chicken sausage. We also enjoyed the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. We chose to have our chilaquiles made with salsa verde and it tasted fresh and had a lilttle kick to it! Lupe was surprised that it was our first time there, since we ordered all the bestsellers! She said to try the breakfast burrito next! Lupe was very sweet and wholesome. She told us that Angel's has been open for 21 years and that people are now finding out about them. She was gushing over how the restaurant blew up and how many food vloggers had stopped by and the exposure it has given them. She looked so happy telling her story and name dropped Grub with Mike and Kool John. We're so glad we were able to stop by and check out this local restaurant, which has been in our community the whole time!

I have to say, the food was amazing and the owner and workers were super friendly. The owner was so welcoming, and we had a great conversation as well. I ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa, huevos rancheros, and the breakfast sandwich I've been seeing all over the internet. Honestly, everything I tried was delicious in my opinion! There's mostly street parking, and I believe there's also a small parking lot in the back that I didn't notice at first. It's right next to Mira Vista Liquors, so if you're having trouble finding it, that's a good landmark. The inside is also pretty spacious if you want to dine in. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the San Pablo area!

Walked in on a Sunday, there was one maybe 2 people in front of me, walked in to the counter and…read morewas told another customer was getting change, happy to step aside; did so for a few minutes. As the last customer exited the parking lot, I still stood a side for a few seconds, maybe I didn't see who was before me. No one stepped up, a couple minutes went by, no acknowledgment, still stood just waiting, nothing, walked out the door, still no acknowledgment. They may not need my acknowledgment, but I have recognized, and recommended their business, which will probably continue without recognition, but I will no longer recommend this business. I just wanted a burger and fries to go, but was met with low expectations, when I spend money here always without hesitation. I'm sad to say I will not order from here going forward, and will talk family, friends and close ones to order elsewhere. Very unfortunate.

Service was rude. Was not just me either 2-3 orders after me felt the same. After placing my order…read moreshe told me to "take your receipt" rudely. The order after me even tipped her & she didn't even say thank you. We've eaten here plenty of times before, the worker taking the order today was new to us. This location also doesn't offer the option to have pie warmed. Again plenty of times before today, the workers (not from today) would kindly warm it up in the worker's microwave.

It was hot and ice cream sounded really good. On this day, we passed by Foster Freeze to get home…read moreso we decided to give it a try. This was the first time visiting a Foster Freeze for my daughter and for myself. Parking was ample. There was seating available inside and out. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted. The cashier was very friendly with a warm smile. My daughter immediately picked the cookies and crème twister from the poster on the wall. I got the same in cookie dough. A small twister with an add-in was $6.99. My daughter's order came out immediately and mine arrived a few minutes later. The twister was nothing special. The vanilla custard was thick and creamy, the add in was ugh in portion. For what we received, if I paid $3.99 I would have no gripes. I am familiar with A&W and Dairy Queen's versions where the topping is plentiful, mixed in well and every bite has the combination of flavors. At Foster Freeze's we received mostly custard with some bites of the add in. I would have preferred the topping to be mixed in like a twister. Doubt we would return. Customer service was stellar, our food selections were not bad, just not the standard I am accustomed to. Custard was yummy.

I have noy had Fosters Freeze since 2000. 26 years later I ate here…read more California Grilled Chicken was lower back in 2000. The price of the burger now is worth the money. I enjoyed my Grilled Chicken. It wasn't hard to chew on. Fosters Freeze is perhaps the longest business pre 2000s. They been in business almost longer than Red Onion off Pinole Valley. For the price of their food is worth dinning inside. When I went on a Saturday Morning not much of a crowd but it looks like locals do come to a landmark place.
