    Half Jalepeno crunchy turkey with a cup of chicken tortilla soup,a pickle spear and half sweet tea with lemonade.
    Alana F.

    Food was tasty, service was quick and the restaurant was clean. I would return for lunch. Lunch specials are around $11 plus tax

    My to-go club sandwich with tortilla soup!

    I've been to this location before so surprised at service here today. Food was good as usual. However, food took so long in coming out I had to ask for a to-go container because I simply couldn't stay any longer. I think they were just short staffed. But the person working the register just kept smiling and kept her composure despite the long line and dealing with to-go orders. Kudos to her!

    Spud Max

    The service was good. The potato was terrible. I ordered the Spud max minus ham and there was nothing "max" about this spud. Definitely didn't look anything like menu which I never really expected it to but this was laughable. I also ended up picking out the processed "turkey" pieces.

    Order Receipt 12/12/2022.

    My husband and I went to this restaurant yesterday and the items that were bought are: 1. French Dip 12"(Dry and tasted stale), Fresh Fruit (Pineapple, Honeydew, and Cantaloupe (?), but, it was kinda hard and sour). 2. Angus King Club w/ Pepper Jack Cheese 3. Smores Cookie (receipt says Smores but, the lady said it was a Snickerdoodle). 4. Chocolate Chip Cookie 5. Large (Lemonade & Unsweet Tea w/ Black Cherry syrup). It's so hard to think that the sandwiches were not good because, we go there a few times within a month or so, and we've loved the food in the past but, from what we ordered last night, we are having a hard time thinking if we're going back to this location. I also checked the bag with the items in it, and they made a mistake by not including the French Dip sandwich until I said something. Thank goodness, I looked into the bag. We didn't even finish our food because, it didn't taste good and the fruit I paid $0.70 extra for tasted stale and was hard to chew (kinda like it was unripe, and the pineapple was sour). Our bill was $46.65 and it was already expensive for two sandwiches that didn't taste well at all.

    Placed an order to go and this is what we got. No sauce. No pickle. Wrong chips. Wrap looks like it was smashed even wrapper was open.

Customer service was a 10/10 from the moment I walked in, and the restaurant was super clean. The food came out hot and fresh, and I'd give it an 8/10. The restaurant itself is really aesthetically pleasing, making it a great spot for brunch, a date night, or even just a chill meal with friends. They had jazz music playing, which made the atmosphere even better. I also noticed on their Instagram that they host live jazz events on certain days, so I'll definitely have to come back and check one out. If you're looking for a new brunch spot with a cool vibe, I'd definitely recommend giving 375 Social Kitchen a try!

    It's not bad. It's typical diner fare, located in a strip center…read more I'll go back, but I will try something different. Both dishes were overwhelmingly salty, and the salt overpowered the flavors of each entrée. The biscuit served with the eggs bene was dry, and the ham on my eggs benedict tasted like cheap lunch meat, which was really underwhelming for a dish like this. While the eggs themselves were cooked well, I couldn't help but wonder, where was the Hollandaise sauce? The key part of the dish was missing. The pulled pork biscuit was tasty, but again - it was overly salty.

    AH. WANTED TO LOVE IT, DIDN'T END UP EVEN LIKING IT. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE THOUGH!…read more Service: 4/5 It looked like a one man show- I can appreciate that. The man who I assume could be the owner, was a server, cashier, and the cleaning crew. Haha. He looked a bit serious but he was very kind. Food: 2/5 I hate to admit it, but just like some of the lower reviews said- the food was so bland. I mean, not a taste of seasoning. I ordered a chicken fried biscuit with gravy, and it came with potatoes. My sister ordered a bacon croissant. I'll start off with mine. They did give me a rather large hunk of chicken; the batter slid right off and the chicken itself was tasteless, I do mean absolutely tasteless :( The biscuit was so dry, and crumbly. Possibly day old? Not sure. I slapped some of their homemade jam (Now that jam was wonderful! ) however they don't give too much of anything (butter, gravy, jam) so I do feel the sandwich would be better if it was maybe made smaller? I'm not sure. It was just a huge biscuit with nothing to slather it with. The gravy portion is really not fair, lol. Since the biscuit was super dry and again SUPER bland, I do feel they should make the gravy a bigger portion. My sister said her bacon croissant "was nothing special. I could've made it at home." I also want to throw out there that their drinks also need some help. I ordered a strawberry lemonade, my sister did a "freshly brewed tea" ah. The tea was bitter as heck and the lemonade tasted like it was pure strawberry syrup. :( Price: 2/5 I spent $30.00 on two plates, that Indeed we could've just made at home for 1/3 of the price. I know food is at an all time high right now, but this meal was not worth my hard earned money. We couldn't find one thing we actually enjoyed about it. Overall: 1/5. I hate to be honest because I really want to see small shops thrive; whenever I go to a restaurant I ask myself "Would you come back?" And the answer for Happy Cafe is absolutely not. The food, the atmosphere, the drinks, everything was just not for us. The restaurant itself needs some deep cleaning, an upgraded menu, and maybe some new tables (ours were peeling and super sticky) however, if I'm being honest I can get past that- but I simply will not return due to the food. As some of the others said, I don't know how this place is so highly rated (love that for them) but it just wasn't for me and my family, maybe it will be for yours.

Meat Jun (Korean egg-battered beef, so tender), Chicken Katsu (crispy panko perfection), Kalua Pig (that smoky island vibe), garlic shrimp, loco moco, teri chicken, Spam musubi. Big portions, perfect rice, legit mac salad every time. No watered down "Hawaiian inspired" nonsense. Every bite is the real island deal. Hawaii local food is that old school plantation days multicultural mix. Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese influences and more, all blended by Hawaii's cultures. Not strictly indigenous Hawaiian food. Service is family style aloha. Owner and staff super warm, welcoming, full of pride. You feel it in every plate. Portions huge, wait's worth it for the hype (call ahead, brah). As kamaʻāina visiting, this hits home hard. Straight comforting. If you're from Hawaiʻi traveling through, or don't know Hawaii local food but want the real old school plantation days multicultural deal (not pineapple ham pizza), make the drive. Closest thing to home out there. My San Antonio go-to. 5 stars, no cap. Returning every trip!

When we arrived, however, we were told it would actually be closer to a 30 min wait, which was disappointing. We had a party of 5 and were seated at a small square table that seemed intended for 4 guests. They simply added an extra chair, leaving very little room for everyone to eat comfortably. It felt cramped and made the dining experience frustrating from the start. We ordered the Gringo queso and chips as an appetizer and that was definitely a highlight. The queso had good flavor and was enjoyable. For my meal, I ordered the Rattlesnake Pasta and unfortunately was not impressed. While it had some spice to it, the sauce itself lacked flavor. The garlic bread served alongside it was also disappointing it smelled and tasted like cardboard. Overall, I was not pleased with my experience. Between the inaccurate wait time, cramped seating, and underwhelming entrée, it wasn't a place I'd be eager to return to.
