    i love a good chicken sandwich and this place exceeds that, the chicken was seasoned perfectly and it was so juicy i'd say this is top 2 chicken sandwiches I've ever had. on top of that the service is great and the owners so nice. they have a bunch of seating outside which was really convenient! oh and they have stuffed churros, they taste so good make sure to get some when you go

    Firewich (2/5) $12 Overpriced and small
    Sayed M.

    Made my way down here on a weeknight a couple of weeks back. I had been waiting to try this place for quite a while, but it proved to be a disappointment. I ordered a Firewich without the combo for $12. The sandwich itself is by no means bad, but it's mediocre at best. It's overly dressed with dry seasoning that causes a bit of a gag reaction with your first bite. On top of that, the sandwich is insanely small. The piece of chicken you get is about the size of a single chicken tender. It should really be advertised as a slider, there is no way this could fill anyone up. I ended up going to a second restaurant after my visit here since this barely put a dent in my appetite. The price makes it really hard to justify coming here, the customer service isn't any better. I for one will not be back, and I'd urge you to spend your money elsewhere too.

    This place is such a great addition to the Union City plaza! I dropped by on a random Thursday…read morenight, and the restaurant was already decently packed. The vibe is awesome, they have a great bar area with a couple of TVs playing sports, and the music was definitely bumping. The staff was incredibly nice and super attentive to our table the entire night. Food-wise, this spot doesn't miss a beat. One of the best surprises was that they offer fresh crawfish, which is pretty rare to find at most seafood boil places. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, and the garlic fries were amazingly good. Honestly, this boil spot isn't lacking a single thing. Whatever they are doing, they need to keep it up! This has easily jumped to the top of my list as one of my absolute favorite seafood boil spots.

    We had a very mixed experience here recently. We specifically called ahead to confirm their $25…read morespecial (1lb shrimp, garlic noodles, and a drink) was available from 4-6pm. The Pricing Confusion: We placed our order at 5:05 PM, and the server initially took it. However, a few minutes later, they came back to explain it wasn't actually a happy hour deal, but a lunch special. This was frustrating since we had called to confirm and had already ordered. While our other food arrived earlier, we waited over an hour for the shrimp. We watched five separate tables who arrived after us get served their shrimp first. Even though we told the staff a couple of times that our shrimp hadn't arrived yet, we were still left waiting. The shrimp didn't finally arrive until 6-6:10pm. They eventually explained they thought we had already been served and suspected our order had accidentally been packed into a to-go order. The food itself was actually delicious, the shrimp and garlic noodles were very flavorful. I don't even have a photo of the shrimp because by the time it finally arrived, we were so hungry we just started eating! To their credit, once they realized the error, they slashed the price of the 1lb shrimp and gave us free rice to make it right The food is great, but the kitchen organization was a mess during our visit. Management was honest and tried to fix the mistake, but waiting an hour for the main part of your meal while watching five other tables eat is a major headache.

    What a gem of a restaurant!…read more We were looking for some bbq on a Sunday funday and were so glad we stopped by. It's in the grocery outlet plaza. Order at the counter and sit and enjoy kind of place. It's decorated simply with a tv that was playing ufc and we were welcomed by Tim who was so warm and hilarious our entire visit. First thing I noticed was how fairly priced the place is. 1lb of brisket is 30 dollars, potato salad is 5 dollars and soda is 2 dollars (some places charge like 4 bucks for a can!) Ordered, sat down and enjoyed some convo with the order and our food came out in about 10min. If there's one thing to get, it's the brisket fries!! Oh my word, the sauce and cheese all go so well with the bbq. I like how their sauce has a kick to it and isn't overly sweet. The brisket was really tender and smoked well. I personally enjoy fattier pieces of brisket but I bet if I would've asked for those cuts he might've accommodated. The smoked potatoes salad is almost a must. Very unique style of potato salad and pairs well with everything. We noticed they also do catering, and the prices for that also look very reasonable. Would definitely considering using them for our next party!

    How did I just find out the Bay Area has BBQ that's as good as the one I had in Texas…read more Come with me to Smoking Pig BBQ, and they've been quietly smoking meats low and slow since 2011. Every brisket, rib, and pulled pork shoulder is smoked for hours over real oak and apple wood. And you can taste it in the tenderness of the meat. The brisket is rich, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The pulled pork is packed with flavor and practically falls apart with every bite. The ribs are juicy, perfectly seasoned, and pass the pull test every single time. This is my first time having burnt ends and they were bursting with savory flavor but doesn't taste burnt at all. This place isn't just about the food either because the whole family can enjoy watching the World Cup right here. And right now, when you order any main dish, you can get ONE FREE item of your choice link in my bio: Wolf Turds, Wolf Turd Quesadilla, Mac & Cheese Balls, BBQ Beans, or Banana Pudding. The voucher link is in my bio or comment BBQ to get it sent in your DM. Trust me... It's time to put Smoking Pig BBQ back on the map.

We also tried all the sauces and Sassy was my personal favorite. We'll definitely eat here again

    Have been coming to Texas Roadhouse for a little over ten years, food has been very good…read moreconsistently. Prices are amazing. That's probably why they are always busy. I always get good appetite as soon as I enter the restaurant: love watching the bread being made and the steaks on display. It's also great that the wait staff always grabs a basket of hot bread with cinnamon butter spread as they bring guests to their tables. Bags of peanuts are also waiting at the table. I always order the same thing: 20oz bone-in Ribeye Steak with Caesar Salad and baked sweet potato as sides. It's a great value at $37.99 although I still remember it being $10 cheaper when I started coming to this restaurant. The steak is always perfectly cooked, medium rare is how I like it. The salad is always fresh and crisp. The sweet potato is nicely baked and really tender. That soft, hot bread is addicting. Service is excellent because their wait staff is trained to keep bringing the bread even without being asked. They are very nice about it. And since they have a dedicated person making the bread continuously, they never run out. The free peanuts are also very good and keep customers occupied while waiting. Food came out at a decent pace. It's loud and lively inside the restaurant. The whole atmosphere is very cheerful. I have been to other Texas Roadhouses since it's a chain. They are very consistent and they all operate very smoothly. Highly recommended if you are looking for a decent steak house and do not want to break your wallet!

When we were getting seated, I had asked the…read moregentleman that was seating us (I didn't get his name...I'm sorry) if we can have an extra basket of the amazing hot bread. He said to me, "Oh of course. You asked me so kindly. Everyone has been in a bad mood due to the hot weather." I understand that it was a hot day, but why take your dreadful mood on the staff? All you gotta do is eat, drink, & pay for your food. The staff has to do most of the work if not more and serve your grumpy a**es. So unnecessary! Anywayzzzzz, our server was Ray for the day. Super nice, super on point, always checked on us and he even sang Happy Birthday to my mom. Bravo & thank you for your service Ray! Thank you for making my mom happy! Like I said before, if you get a happy reaction from my mom, then that's just golden for me. And as usual: the food is always amazing!

My husband's go to is lechon kawali. Perfectly deep fried pork served with the classic Filipino "all purpose sauce".

There's a a generous amount of meat and it's always so tender. I would love if they made it a little more sour but that's my personal preference. The protein might be different depending on the day but they've all been good. The place is tiny, maybe like 10 chairs so you might have to wait at prime times. Service is friendly.

Hubby got the longanisa and it was good too. Portions are huge. Service was good even though they had a full house. They're not on DoorDash which is a bummer.

    step foot in country way and you'll have your patriotism (or any remainder of it after the past…read moreyear) tested. it reeks of cigarettes and buttcheeks and the dishes presented look like all american slop. does it taste good? no! but in some ways you'll rediscover your love of america right in this little establishment. it's the place of memories, whether you want to reminisce or create new ones. this is the place you go when you're hungover, or when you're a broke teenager looking for a place to loiter with your massive friend group (there's only two girls, you have a crush on one of them, she's probably gay), or when you come back from a trip abroad in a country that does not have enough grease in their local cooking. you come to celebrate your 95 year old grandma's birthday (by the way she doesn't remember your name), and to go out with your football team (apparently your team has done well this season; coach naively offers to treat, so everyone except coach orders three dishes each and complains of hunger an hour after eating), and to meet up with random friends of your parents (you didn't even know they existed, and they spend an hour commenting on the following: your height, love life, and college applications). either way you want some cheap, easy, horrible food. you choke down your dish that's got oil puddles on the side and mysterious radioactive sauces because the portions are huge and binge eating is nigh. you save half, or a quarter, or maybe none of your dish for later, knowing that you will most definitely forget about the leftovers and trash them when they turn moldy. this is a true diner - arguably one of the most waffle house-esque establishments in fremont, and thus a quintessential american experience. you have to live it to understand it all: the questionably quick service, the servers stacking full plates on one arm, the pile of smuckers jam on every table, the chattering in multiple languages, and most importantly the trashy food. so would i encourage you to come here? ideally not at all! you will be disappointed beyond measure. but if you're like me and disillusioned with your american-ness you can come here and renew your patriotism. 3 stars for the experience.
