    Honestly, the food was pretty good, and I thought the interior was charming. I also thought the…read moreemployees were really nice and patient. I came with my dad and two kids, and I ordered 3 things, each of which went on its own tray, while carrying my daughter. An employee came by to help me bring the trays to the table which was unnecessary but totally appreciated! The food was exactly what I expected, but that's a good thing - it's very comforting, large portions of hearty meals. I think the biggest downside to my experience was the other diners. This place is patronized by some of the most curmudgeonly elderly folks I have ever met. A man literally came up to the front of the line to scold us for not lining up correctly? I'm not a regular, sorry I don't know how the line usually works, but I did line up exactly as everyone else before me. My kids are pretty well behaved and cute, and usually passersby at least smile at them, but not here! The whole meal felt like I was carrying two screaming children on a transatlantic flight. I thought a woman sitting near us was giving me the stinkeye the whole time, but maybe I was imagining it. The cherry on top was another woman who came into the bathroom while I was washing my daughter's hands after she used the potty. This other woman was coughing like crazy and looked at us then made some sort of sound that frightened my daughter quite a bit and never bothered to apologize or smile or anything??? 4 stars for the establishment -5 stars for the other customers, shame on y'all

Today was horrifically disappointing. Being on a fixed budget we are barbecuing here at home and so I went to get some roasted vegetables to accompany the meat. When I got there it was not roasted vegetables day it was steamed vegetables which was fine. I asked for 1 quart and 1 pint of the steamed vegetables. That's all. When it was time to pay they said I owed $31.‼‼‼ I said "are you kidding? " She said no that's the price. $18 for a quart of simple broccoli cauliflower and carrots steamed. It wasn't two dollars worth of vegetables. That is a total rip off. $18 and nine dollars. I had to buy them because I had no other choice since the meal was starting soon. I want buyers to be beware. It's a rip off!! there is no way you can justify $31 for a quart and pint of plain steamed vegetables.

I always get the Mexican food such as the taco salad because it comes with a free soda and is pretty filling. I tried almost all the food here and it's pretty standard fare for Cisco cafeteria food. One major improvement they did was accept credit cards. But post-remodel, the flow and crowds are still more or less the same as before. The cafe is definitely the choice of convenience and not for the greatest food. The staff is always friendly and mostly get your order correct but they're definitely overworked especially during the lunch rush since only one person works per station typically

I made my ways around the different types of food they had to offer, and nothing. Not a single pinch of interest was there. So, I decided to default to the soup, which was some lentil soup thing. I loaded my bowl, added cheese, got my crackers, and left. So i'm sitting there, in my cube... enjoying my soup. My co-worker approaches me; "Hey, what do you think of the soup? pretty good huh?" then I say "Yes! This is the perfect meal to default to. Mmmm it's savory, it's just what I nee- ... Oh. My. God. No." No... It couldn't be... It's gotta be a burnt lentil... no, those aren't wings. Noooo that can't be a face! Yup. A fucking big, luscious, protein packed fly was an added ingredient to my fucking soup. "Um.. are you seeing what i'm seeing?" - I asked my coworker. "What is that? Is that a... no... oh my fucking god.. no.. I JUST ATE THAT SOUP." I quickly stand up, walk to the mens room, and completely rinse my mouth out. I grab my fly-soup and march straight back to the cafeteria. I quickly ask the nice lady in the front if I can kindly speak to the manager. "Is something wrong?" she asked, "Yes. Yes indeed there is." Long story short, I didn't make a scene. I managed to resist yelling at the top of my lungs "YOU SIR, STOP EATING THAT SOUP. THERE'S FLY SHIT IN THERE". But I didn't. The manager even asked "Hey, let me make it up to you. Come back next week, and I'll make it up to you with what ever you like!" Why in the hell would I be enticed to want to eat at this place again? If there's a fly in the soup, I can imagine that everything else is just as clean. I have now been inspired to never eat out again. It's hard because my wife loves to eat out... But as far as every day eating, I'll be packing up left overs and ham sandwiches.

    I absolutely love San Pedro Square Marketplace. The energy, the layout, the food options…read more.. Everything is great. It works incredibly well for groups and gatherings because people can wander and grab whatever food sounds good to them and then regroup outside to talk and enjoy the atmosphere and each other's company. There's an impressive variety of vendors. I was hoping to grab a tea at Urban Ritual on my last visit but I was sad to see that they are no longer here. They will be missed but there are still lots of choices so that nobody feels like their options are limited. The outdoor space is great with plenty of seating and it's kept clean. There are sunny spots and shady spots and busier areas great for people watching and calmer areas tucked away for quiet contemplation. It's like a community gathering space and a food hall all-in-one. It's also really dog friendly, outside anyway. I always have my dog with me and it takes the stress away to go somewhere where I know she will be welcome and comfortable. If you need to run inside to order food or use the restroom you can have someone watch your pup but there are also some restrooms outside too if you needed to bring your fur baby with you. Great food options, great atmosphere and one of the better communal spaces I've come across. I definitely recommend I stop here.

Parking is $10 in a nearby garage (a popular parking place for an event at SAP center). This market was huge and had so many restaurants. Anything from desserts to drinks and all types of food. Because we were there before a game and it was a Saturday, there were so many people there. One area seemed to be more popular than the other building (where there was a bar). There was also an outdoor area with a live band playing. Food here isn't the best you can find in the city, it just does the job in a pinch. It's a popular place to hang out as well especially for families. Pros: parking is affordable and there's plenty of options for food and drinks. I like the variety there is available. There's something for everyone. Cons: there was plenty of seating but because the sheer amount of people, seating was hard to find.

    Best BBQ by far in the Bay!…read more Ribs.. on point Collard Greens.. on point Corn bread.. yumm (but they can be a little bigger) Mac n cheese.. great portion (could be a little more creamier) we also ordered the banana pudding, which is super yummy. We had the seafood gumbo, not too spicy, but spicy enough and it was good with big portions of seafood and sausage with a scoop of rice over it. Ordering was easy we scanned a barcode put in our order and got our food within 10 minutes. Great customer service very clean and while we were eating, we could see that the employees put a lot of care into cleaning the tables and seats. Plenty of parking in back very spacious. They have overhead fans, but no need to turn them on because the restaurant was cool and airy not stuffy or hot. The waiters or servers always checked up on us to make sure that we were OK and if we needed anything else. This restaurant knows what they're doing! Added to one of my fav spots!

I got the open-faced roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. The plate was gigantic and I ate the whole thing. It was pure comfort food. When I was a kid my grandmother used to take me out to lunch, and this was the sandwich I always ordered (anybody remember Lyon's restaurant?). The staff at Gunther's are so kind. When I arrived, one person explained how to order at the counter and held a booth for me (I'd been there before but forgot how that works). Another person came by several times while I was eating to give me a straw, and then napkins, and then a to-go cup for my drink. Everyone checked on me to make sure I was enjoying my food. The customer service was like what you'd expect at a fine dining establishment. The restaurant was busy at 1:30 pm on a holiday Monday, but was never loud and never felt crowded. I was grateful they didn't blast music from the ceiling like a lot of places do. Thank you, Gunther's, for your wonderful service and delicious food.

Personally, I love Blue Door, which is a more affordable version of Ettan and serves delicious Indian street food. It's still on the pricier side, but the flavors are absolutely worth it. The drinks are great (also a bit pricey), and on Tuesday nights they host trivia -- which makes the whole place feel even more lively and energetic. I ordered a lychee martini, which was delicious, along with paneer tikka, naan, and daal makhani from Blue Door. We also shared the sesame leaf chaat (my favorite!) and a margarita pizza. The pizza was okay -- not my favorite, as the crust was a bit too crunchy for my liking. Overall, though, such a fun and vibrant spot!

    2/6/2026 El Camino…read moreCafe 2500 Grant Rd Mountain View, CA 94040 After having a warm (not hot) value packed breakfast there, I decided to try this place out for a week of lunches. It's on the bottom floor of El Camino Hospital and is a cafeteria with several stations. You pick your food, pay at the check out register and can dine in the spartan dining area across the Cafe. See my prior review for more logistics. Monday-Panko Crusted Calamari Steak & Green Beans $8.16. This was one of the better steaks I have had. The crust was crispy, lightly seasoned and the squid was tender. The marinara sauce was tomatoey and bland, which I kicked up the Tabasco condiment pack. Tuesday-Hot Link & Onion Rings $7.64. This was from the Grillworks and the sausage had a good snap and spicy. The onion rings were from the freezer with a thick batter and okay. Wednesday-Japanese Chicken Curry $8.13. This was Global Cuisines choice with chicken cubes, carrots and peas. The curry was on the milder side and kicked up by adding chili pepper flakes, the chicken was a little chewy and the veggies were nicely al dente. Thursday-KIKKA Sushi Spicy Tuna & Avocado Roll $13.63. 8 pieces and okay, comparable to Nijiya and Safeway. Friday-Skipped It's a cafeteria with really tasty food selections, mostly healthy and good size portions. I'll be checking their weekly specials PDF for future visits: https://www.elcaminohealth.org/resources/dining/el-camino-cafe. There's no better value so if you are in the area, check it out.
