Who would of thought in this small plaza there was this hidden gem. I frequent this area at times…read morearound 6ish am to get Starbrrad for my co-workers. When maps directed me to here, I was shocked. Stepped in there was 1 party so I said great its not busy. As we took a seat, I kept hearing the online ordering beeps while the nice young man was there checking them. Alan came around and handed us menus and since my little one is into chicken or country fried steak, its the first thing I asked him when he greeted us. Ordered the food and observed hes the only o ne cleaning tables, greeting, processing the online orders and waiting. Hes truly a star and is great at what he does. Food is fresh and delicious. Did not disappoint. Kudos to Alan

I wanted pancakes today... to absorb the overindulgence of cocktails the night before. (Oy!) I…read morereviewed yelp to find something close that maybe we hadn't tried, and I found Mely's with the amazing rating of 4.3 stars. We've lived in Hercules for over 30 years and are creatures of habit, so it was nice to venture the 10-minute drive to San Pablo. We were not impressed by the exterior strip mall building, but the interior of Mely's is very cute, homey, and clean. (I even peeked into the kitchen since the door was open.) I wanted pancakes, but got waffles instead since W ordered the blueberry buttermilk stack. We both had a side of eggs, his scrambled and mine sunny side up. The eggs were delish; mine in particular was perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy edges, a beautiful, silky, runny yolk, and no uncooked whites. The blueberry pancakes are so good! Of course they are huge and I ate some of them in addition to my waffle. We could have split just the pancakes and been perfectly happy. They cook berries inside the homemade batter and top them with a house-made blueberry compote. Maple syrup and soft butter on the side. The waffles are crispy outside with a light, airy, center, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I had strawberries on the side (+$5 !!). Since I ate some of W's pancakes, we took half the waffles home. W had a drip coffee--no decalf available so I had the fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a large glass so I took half of that home, too. The coffee was nothing to rave about, but it was coffee. Service was friendly and efficient--there is only one cook and one server, and it seems several of us arrived at the same time on this Sunday morning. Overall a wonderful find that we will return to so we can explore more dishes. We saw omelets and Benedict's come out that looked amazing! Plus, I want to try the dinner menu, which also looked pretty amazing.

First time coming here, it was soooooo good. My boyfriend got the Marina Bay Burger was soooo good…read moreit was just juicy enough and the grilled onions were cooked to perfection. While I got the Keller Beach Chicken Burger was also so good the chicken in other places is usually pretty dry but here it was just as juicy with all fresh veggies to go with it was amazing. Also we had our two dogs with us today the fact that they sell patties for dogs was a nice surprise our dogs enjoyed a quick snack with us. While yes there are no indoor seatings there are some outdoor seating with shade for a nice sunny day, listening to live music watching some others dance. It was a relaxing area to have as a hangout either by yourself, your partner or even as a group. I truly loved going to this place and definitely coming back!

Tucked in the industrial section of Cutting Blvd, the backyard is worth a weekend stop. From the…read moregravelled parking lot to the old sofas, live music, and a food trailer on what was once an abandoned lot, I loved this family- and dog-friendly spot. There are even games in the yard. A real surprise was the food. I had the avocado toast it was tasty, I would order it again. When I tasted the beef Philly I was ready to order one to go, but they had sold out. The rest of my friends had burgers, the vegetarian had fries, even the dog had a pup patty, and everyone enjoyed the food The music was almost too loud; however, because the stage is outside, it was not too uncomfortable. We heard two different bands. The loud music did make it hard to have a conversation. A word of warning that does not affect my rating: bees and yellow jackets are everywhere. There is nothing that the Backyard can do to keep these pests out of the yard.

Because there were so many people talking and the place is small, it was somewhat difficult to talk. I had the plain breakfast burrito which is the best value on the menu. It is just egg and cheese on a flour tortilla. I found the service to be good. The coffee and tea are Peet's which I like. I would like to come back and sit outside when the weather is warmer. This place is also very popular with bicyclists passing through.

To all GYM PEEPS! Including people who want something healthy. New spot in the 510!!…read more I had to go check this out. A friend recommended me this spot, though it's a fresh to the public. The outcome of the protein shake and protein bowl has set the bar high! Indoor seating gives you a welcoming to the place. Street parking is the only factor to this location. No parking lots nearby. Moving forward, I got the protein recovery shake because it was my rest day from the gym. I ordered the choco nana (P4). The shake was thick and just right when you slurp on the straw. My friend ordered the protein bowl, and for the amount it costs, the portion was a lot and good for taste! I'd definitely recommend checking this place out with friends or even go on a solo mission yourself. S/O to Clara the Business owner for opening a spot to share her experience to the people :)
