Popped in here to study and eat but no power outlets:(. The blended coffee I ordered was good though! they have wifi, parking, lots of seating. You can only stay as long as your laptop lasts lol.

Craving this for breakfast I ordered it delivery. Arrived fast . Tasted fresh and the coffee was still warm. Loved the almond and chocolate croissant

Panera bread Cerritos was number 2 of my birthday rewards redemption tour. A complimentary pastry is the reward for your birthday and today I chose their Cinnamon roll. I don't know if these are made fresh and baked in house and if it was, it was not as soft as I expected. However it was free so I enjoyed it to the last bite.

This location is always busy, the workers work hard. Place is reasonably clean given how busy they are. I appreciate the dedicated 20 minute rapid pick up parking spots given how busy this plaza gets. The most recent thing I tried is the dubai cookie. It was priced the same as their chocolate chip cookie. I'm glad I tried it, but I will be sticking to the classic chocolate chip cookie if I ever go in for their cookies. Coffee is always hot and tastes fresh which is a plus!

They always have specials here. Today they had certain soups , sandwiches, and salads for $4.99 each if you buy two or more. I added a drink and a blueberry muffin, so l'm good for the day. The employees are very friendly and helpful.

This location is exceptional! It's located right off the freeway right across from the mall! It's perfect because you don't have to get in the mall traffic! It's huge inside! Quiet, friendly, the bakery is larger than normal! I had oatmeal and the portion was bigger than normal! The coffee is self serve whice is nice...you don't have to wait for it and you can refill before leaving! Met an old friend and we stayed quite awhile!

Panera Bread as a whole is like mid at best. But I do like some of their desserts and bagels. If you're coming for their coffee, its not that good, I was in the coffee club and even though it was free, I didn't like it. But they have been raising prices over the years and its not that good of a value anymore, they also have had less deals over the years, otherwise previously the Panera app would regularly have deals. I usually have only tried the bagels, chocolate chip cookie, kitchen sink cookie, and the tuna sandwich and would only come back for bagels, kitchen sink cookie and tuna sandwich only when there is a deal. Service is nice and the plaza is quite busy where this panera is, but generally the service is nice and its a good place to study.

Restaurant was clean, well lit and no loud music. Lovely and inviting atmosphere. Service was helpful and polite. The kids meals are incredibly generous. My son and I had the chipotle chicken avocado and spicy chicken sandwich. We swap halves. They were both delicious and full of meat etc... no pathetic sandwiches here. We really enjoyed the food and would return.

I always get the same thing when I go to Panera: Bacon Turkey Bravo and broccoli cheddar soup with a side of potato chips. You can order at the register, or you can order by using one of the self ordering tablets. The food sounds super quickly, which is perfect when you have a limited lunch break.

Panera is a great spot for a quick bite, great for lunch to be able to sit down and get some work done or just relax while enjoying a nice meal. This location is great, lots of parking, private lot,clean and lots of seating inside and outside as well. The Cerritos area is nice in general. Used the app as always for quick pickup. Also, typically can get some coupons based on visits and promos using the app as well, so worth signing up. Been looking for coupon codes recently, but unfortunately, have not been able to find any online lately. I am also a member of the sip club. I highly recommend joining, you can get as many drinks as you want every two hours each day. I travel around quite a bit, so it is great for me driving a lot and I love Panera for lunch many days of the week anyway. Enjoy!

I had an amazing tuna sandwich here. The order is ready quickly. This is a very busy store, but yet the dining area is usually pretty clean because the team does their rounds to clean tables fairly regularly.

In the morning when I haven't had breakfast before I go to work, I always get the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. Get it also with the Honey Walnut Cream Cheese and you won't go wrong. For those who are first timers, I would so recommend this. I have also tried their sandwiches and salad and I say they're pretty bomb too. Service is good, they could do better. I used to always go to the Panera in Tustin's The District (i used to work in Irvine) and oh boy they were really attentive to customers over there. So yeah Cerritos' Panera's service is just okay. read more

I haven't tried much here, except for a sandwich and soup combo. It was good and I'd come back again. I haven't had any pastries or other breads, but they look good. The reason I like it here is because it's just very laid back and you can come and sit, relax, read, chit chat, or study for a long time. You can come and sit out on the patio on a nice day, have a bite to eat and read a book. I guess the downside is that the place can get busy with students who stay for hours at a time. The only other thing that I don't like about this location is that parking can be bad during peak times. read more

Have been a big fan of Panera since our San Diego times. The Frontega chicken has and will forever be my ultimate favorite sandwich. They have healthy and hearty selections. Came to the Cerritos Panera with my children which might of been a mistake. Although the setting and location are great, the children's selection is very slim, and over priced, a lot like many things on the menu. I got the you pick two, which is perfect for me, salads are always bigger when taking out, and my children had a kids deli, ham and turkey sandwich. Both came with yogurt but had to pay additional for the drink. Panera is delicious but I think I will keep it as a solo spot. $40 something dollars is not an acceptable total for our sandwiches. read more

I absolutely LOVE Panera Bread but this place is just HORRIBLE!! Of all the Panera's I've been to this one by far is just.... The look and feel of the place is just like any other. Patio with heat lamps and free wi-fi. It's super clean seeing as how it is a new location in a remodeled plaza. Downside to the place..SERVICE IS NON-EXISTENT. Took forever to order a drink and a cookie. Apparently the workers were too busy talking to each other and what not. REALLY?! Just sad :[ Never again will I bother coming to this location. read more

Panera is typically consistent with their service and food quality but yesterday I went and one of the cashier's was pretty bitchy and nasty. I only want to rate them based on my personal experience and I think my fellow Yelper friend will write a review, BUT I did observe the cashier's rude behavior on my visit and I didn't like it. My friend and I both reached the counter at the same time so my friend and I ordered from different registers. Before we ordered, we asked to sample the tomato soup. My cashier was delightful and even added croutons to my tiny tomato soup sample but my friend's cashier had a glare in her eye and waddled to get the soup and totally mad-dogged my friend, who does that anyway? The cashier was definitely in a bad mood and should not have taken it out on a customer. Anyway, I liked the sample so I ordered the tomato soup and half a roast beef sandwich on a cheese demi loaf, and it was tasty. My creamy tomato soup was hearty with chunks of tomato in it and my sandwich had the perfect amount of horseradish and the cheddar really had a great vibrant taste. I'll go back, but if I see that rude-ass cashier the next time I go, I'll wait for someone else to help me. Great place to study too. Next time I go, I'll try the pastries too. read more

FIRST OF ALL, FOR THOSE OF YOU TRYING TO EAT HEALTHIER AND THINK IT'S HEALTHY TO EAT HERE, DO YOUR OWN READING AND CHECK OUT THE NUTRITION MENU. My review will strictly be on what I ordered: Steak Balsamico Panini - Overall an a-ok panini, but nothing to write rave reviews about.. I only got it because it was one of their "new" panini's. There was nothing special about the top sirloin in the sandwich... just some thin strips of salty meat. My first bite of the sandwich I immediately regretted not choosing my usual roasted turkey artichoke, then again I am someone who always gets something different on the menu. OVERALL: This is an awesome place for a light sandwich, salad, &/or soup. Still a huge fan of Corner Bakery. OH YEAH! 5 STARS BECAUSE THEY ALLOW DOGS IN THEIR OUTDOOR DINING AREA Like I always say, YOU WON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY IT FOR YOURSELF! read more

I mean, it's panera. The food here is okay. It's not great. This one is in a pretty crowded plaza, but I've been lucky with parking thus far. I like the soup bread bowls, and I love the french onion! However the sandwiches I've had here are not good, and the tortilla soup is mediocre. It's a cool quick stop for lunch occasionally, but I definitely prefer corner bakery's nearly identical menu with much better taste. read more

My first time here was when my friend suggested to meet here to chat. Ever since then, I have loved Panera Bread. I've never been disappointed with their food. So far, I've tried their asian sesame chicken salad, turkey panini, cheese pastry, iced green tea (BOMB), and my absolute favorite, broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl (DOUBLE BOMB)! Everything I have tried has been beyond delicious, and my favorite part is that it doesn't do too much damage on my wallet! It's not super cheap, but they set a good price for what you're getting. I like coming here to study. Although not every table has outlets, you can probably find one or two seats that are near an outlet, or bring in an extension chord to reach a nearby outlet. It's also a great place to just come and chill at. I love you, Panera Bread! :) read more

This place is horrible. Ordered for pickup through the app and more than 1/2 their stuff was "sold out". Whatever, I ordered anyways from the little they had and they gave me salads and sandwiches with rotted avocado, old meat and wilted veggies. And on top of all that, I ordered a hot chocolate and they gave me warm milk, no chocolate! But they took the time to write "hot chocolate" on the cup. So I had to throw away $30 worth of food!! If they can't keep up with the online order demands, then CLOSE. read more

Their portions aren't too generous but it'll make you content as it always leaves me satisfied. 1. Quick lunch 2. Study (free wifi, has few outlets) 3. great sandwiches and food 4. has snacks (pastries are great) 5.

But the taste left something to be desired. My friend ordered a soup and salad combo that was advertised in a picture on a window. Looked nothing like the poster. And he had said he was still hungry.

The salt and green onions are self-serve. I always get their Seolleongtang or Kong Na Mool Guk Bap and they both come with rice. They both taste great and are often considered a hangover cure. If you want to add noodles, you can choose between white or glass. Near the end of your meal, they give you Sikhye as a little treat. Sikhye is a traditional sweet rice punch. I think this is for dine-in customers only, I'm not sure if they'll pack it for take-out orders. This place is never too packed and it's a great place to dine if you're looking for something light hearty and a warm meal!

You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

I am not new to Panera Bread. I like everything that I've had there. So why the 1 star? Poor customer service and lack of consistency with sandwich preparations. I've been bragging to my coworkers about one of the sandwiches that I get on a regular basis. Today's sandwich had NO PESTO and 2 little tomato pieces. I called because I really did not want to drive back today. I called 4 times and got no answer so I had to go. Especially, since I had bragged about the sandwich and purchased one for my coworker. I explained that there was NO PESTO SAUCE and very little tomato on the sandwich. I got a "sorry we'll make you fresh ones". As an after thought I was offered a small coffee. SMALL? When I got the new sandwiches, they had a dab of pesto in the center of the bread. You would think that they would've spread it all over (LIKE IN THE PICTURE) especially when that was the complaint. I also informed them that I had called several times. "Oh, what happened?" What do you think happened? Obviously no one answered the phone. "Oh, I'll make sure they know." ?? Then as I walk to my car, still unhappy and vowing not to return to this location, I notice the employee taking several large take out bags to her car, a delivery perhaps? Could it be that my 2 little sandwiches didn't warrant their full attention? This is not the only Panera where great customer service is lacking. read more

I dropped off my dog at the groomer so I thought I'd get in a little work as I waited. Panera is usually a good choice as it is quiet and the food is decent. They've also got booths with outlets, so that's a plus. Being that it is the lunch hour I realize that there'd be a possibility that the place would be busy..... but the place ended up being really busy. Moreover, it's not the most accessible. If you are not going west on South you'd never know that it was there until you passed it by and by then you wouldn't be able to u-turn until half a mile down. It's hard to give chains anything more than 3 stars, because by definition they are all alike. As long as they meet their standards they should get their 3 stars. Anything above that depends on the locations accessibility, staff, and comfort level. Being that I've been to some really great Paneras, I can only compare them to each other. This place meets the standards, but nothing more. Still, a nice and quiet place to work. Bring a sweater if you plan to work at any Panera. It gets chilly. read more

My experience at Panera Bread in Cerritos, California, has been inconsistent. On my latest visit, I ordered the tuna salad sandwich, which was mediocre and unfortunately caused stomach discomfort. The cheddar broccoli soup was also disappointing due to its watery consistency, earning it a 4 out of 10. However, the customer service was exceptional, always friendly, deserving a perfect score. The cleanliness was somewhat satisfactory, rated 7 out of 10, with ample seating available. The atmosphere was pleasant, with many patrons working on their laptops, contributing to a cool vibe, scored 9 out of 10. The wait time for food was impressively short, never exceeding 8 minutes, warranting another perfect score. Unfortunately, the freshness of the food was only average, rated 6 out of 10. read more

Big fan of this place. The employees are very nice and always ask how you are doing. I usually go for the "you pick 2" with a half sandwich and caesar salad. The food is very consistent and always tastes delicious. The last time I was there the cashier mistakenly ordered me the wrong sandwich so when they delivered it I told them I wanted another sandwich and they said no problem and took that sandwich away and quickly brought me the correct sandwich. Great customer service! The soups are also very good, and even the breakfast items are out of this world. Great job Panera! read more

Panera Bread always delivers great quality, and this location is no exception! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile, and the service was outstanding.

As alluded to in my initial review, Chick-fil-A rewards members in the Greater LA area can get a free chicken sandwich anytime within the next 3-4 days after an LAFC home win as long as they open the app that same evening. There was also a promo involving the LA Angels, but it seems to have changed so that you'd actually have to go to their home games to be eligible. Not with LAFC, who just recently played their last home game of the year, at least for the regular season, so I figured in preparation for the season of thanks, I'll put out this review update as a thank you to both LAFC and Chick-fil-A for the partnership over the past few years. My last visit was on Saturday, the last day the reward could be redeemed, and I was planning to attend a community event nearby. It had been a pretty hectic day and even week for that matter, so I figured making Chick-fil-A my last stop before said event would make for a nice break from everything that was going on this past week. I arrived at about 4 PM, and there were a handful of employees behind the counter chatting with each other, yet no customer was in line. It took about a minute before one of those employees, Arem I believe, came over to the register to assist me. I feel at this location, the employees aren't as punctual at serving the customer, but once they do, their good service commences. However, good service may also accompany slow service, and in this case, it felt a little slower than the Lakewood location, which would normally be my go-to. Here, it took about 7 minutes, which may not seem that long, but I've usually gotten my sandwich a few minutes quicker at other locations, especially Lakewood. It wasn't even that busy inside, especially since it was an hour that's too late to be called lunch, but too early to be called dinner, so at peak hours, I would expect a longer wait for your meal, especially for a whole family. However, there was plenty of Halloween decor around the restaurant that made the wait more than manageable. The skeleton by the restrooms with a Krispy Kreme style hat and an orange "Chick-or-Treat" shirt was a really nice touch. Say hi to Bone-ita on your next visit this month, and she'll give you a mint (or two) in a bucket! If you're really nice, she'll also let you tap a special button on the bucket that will make the handle light up. The tables have been maintained pretty well with flower vases on most of them inside the restaurant. It might have been a thing even before my initial review, but you can actually order from your table on your mobile device, and then they'd bring your order out to you. With how slow they've been on my recent visits, I may have to try that next time I visit this location. Something different between this year and last is that for the sauces that come in rectangular tubs, you have to request them at the register when you place your order. In the past, anybody could just grab any number of them at the counter across from the register, but now, that counter will only have the more common condiments like mayo, mustard, ketchup, and Honey Roasted BBQ sauce. The Lakewood location did the same thing too, and I wouldn't be surprised if other locations followed suit as well. The chicken sandwich tasted just like how it should taste like, with pickles underneath the chicken to further enhance the taste profile of the sandwich. It's certainly not the best tasting chicken sandwich, but unless you hate pickles or meat in general, you just can't go wrong with the original since 1964, as stated on their insulated bags. This probably won't make a "It's the Little Things" segment on their website, but when I went to toss my trash into the trash bin, I saw there were two holes: one for regular waste, and one for green waste. I get befuddled at times deciding the type of waste between the two, but one of the nice employees told me it didn't matter. So I just tossed the waste through the regular waste hole, and he pulled out just one trash bin that was underneath both holes. Turns out they separate the trash in the back, which made me wonder why we'd even be asked to separate the two up front if they were going to do so later? We were both confused by this and shared a few laughs, which did ease up the tension that had been building up in my system this past week. Service was overall good nonetheless. I still recommend patronizing this Chick-fil-A in Cerritos, but do hope they can be more punctual and provide faster service on my next visits.

I almost always order the Mini Club on herb bread, and the sandwiches are consistently fresh. The ingredients taste fresh, the bread is good, and the restaurant itself is always clean. My biggest complaint is the price. While the food is good, it feels expensive for what you get. My mini sub and a bag of chips came out to over $12, and the sandwich is only about four inches long. Even a bag of chips is around $2.50, so the cost adds up quickly. The other thing I'd like to see improved is hand hygiene. I've noticed employees sometimes go from working the cash register back to making sandwiches. While they may put on a fresh pair of gloves, I'd personally prefer to see handwashing before handling food again. That's just my opinion, but it's something I pay attention to, especially when it comes to food preparation. Overall, the food is fresh, the restaurant is clean, and the sandwiches are consistently good.

After partaking in each week's deals, I was able to score this free regular bowl, which was actually loaded onto my account after the third week, giving me an extra week to redeem my free bowl. I had known about this location for a while since I pass by the area from time to time. However, since it wasn't the closest location to me, I hadn't bothered to go. That is, until I was doing some shopping in the area and needed to get lunch. This Flame Broiler is in Cerritos on the northeast corner of Pioneer and Del Amo. It's in the same plaza as 7 Leaves, Caesar's Mongolian, Dollar Tree, and Crunch Fitness. Flame Broiler is on the east end of the lot, closest to the gym, perhaps strategically placed there so that gym-goers can simply walk over for some healthy eats after a tough workout. First and foremost, don't assume that this Flame Broiler is similar to its neighboring locations. That's because at this location, you're supposed to head to the right to start building your bowl, and then you pay for your order, kind of like Subway, Chipotle, Pieology, etc. At the Lakewood and Long Beach locations, you simply walk up to the counter to place your order, and that's pretty much what I did at this location since there wasn't anybody in line when I went after 2 PM on a Saturday. I strategically waited until 2 PM because that's when Flame Broiler's Happy Hour usually starts, at least on weekdays. However, the Happy Hour deals are different from location to location. I was hoping this location would have a Happy Hour deal that could get me a free drink with my free bowl, but no such deal can be found at this location. Instead, the Happy Hour deal here is a mini chicken/tofu veggie bowl and a regular fountain drink for only $7.99 + tax. And actually, the deal works all day Saturday and Sunday, so I wouldn't have needed to wait anyways for their Happy Hour deal, which unfortunately wouldn't be compatible with my free bowl reward. I went up to the cashier to let her know my intent to get the free bowl, and she rang me up similar to how I'd get rung up at the neighboring locations. White or brown rice? Vegetables and green onions? The free bowl could have been any protein, and I chose the Steak Bulgogi. It took her a minute to build my bowl, insert it into a plastic bag, and hand me my bag. Except for a few things. I didn't get any sauces, utensils, or napkins! I made sure to ask for them after I asked for a water cup, and she directed me to a nearby counter that has sauce pumps, small cups for the sauces, napkins, and forks. Even more of a deviation from the norm because I'm used to getting pre-filled cups of sauce to go with my order, but here, I had to get the sauces myself. Plus a fork and napkins, which could have been touched by other customers, certainly a hindrance to germaphobes as I'll allude to in the following paragraph. When I went up to get sauces, I noticed the cups on one side of the counter had drops of sauce on them, indicative of the lack of care from the employees here. None of them, not even the cashier who built my bowl, bothered to walk over there to inspect it for cleanliness. While I appreciate how we could have gotten as much sauce as we wanted for our orders, the carelessness of others keeping that counter clean was quite a turnoff. Like I had to grab a clean cup from one side of the counter before going to the other side to get a sauce I wanted. Plus, those cups are pretty small, so you may need to make a second trip to get more sauce(s) for your bowl. The bowl I had was on par with what they should taste like. In fact, I might even say the steak bulgogi was of better quality than when I tried it at the Long Beach location! However, I felt the cashier could have added a little more of the protein, vegetables, or the brown rice before placing a lid on top of my bowl. Minor complaint, though. I had parked my car at a spot right in front of next door Caribbean Juice & Mexican Food; that spot was a 30-minute only spot, but I only needed about 20 to eat my lunch. At the register, they have punch cards, which the cashier told me was more for customers who don't have the app. I was also wondering if my free bowl would count as a stamp, but she said it did not. The punch card is only good at this location, and you can only get a stamp when you pay full price for a regular bowl or plate. After 5 stamps, you get a free 20 oz drink; after 10 stamps, you get a free chicken bowl. Overall, not a bad location to go to, but that drink dispenser was kind of haunted! While I was eating, it randomly spit out ice when nobody was there. Celebrating Halloween a little early I see lol

This location is much cleaner than others I've been to, which I definitely appreciate. I also like…read morethat they prepare the food right in front of you instead of making the bowls behind the counter in the kitchen. I prefer being able to see exactly what's going on while my bowl is being made.

Ordered 20 wings, mango habenero and garlic parmesan, and a large cajun fries. Everything was…read moreordered well done. The fries quantity was excellent, but they was soggy and limp. The seasoning was decent spiced but needed a tad bit more salt. The garlic parmesan wings had zero garlic flavor. It was just parmesan, and even that was lacking in parmesan flavor. The mango habenero was also bland, no sweetness from the mango and very low heat from the habenero. The overall crispness of the wings was the only saving grace. I'm probably going to be judged for saying this, but buffalo wild wings has superior flavored wings in parmesan garlic and mango habenero. Their fried wedges are also superior in crispness and flavor. Mainly sucky thing about BBW is the price per wings, which is just crazy even in this economy.

Warning: This is the second loudest restaurant I've been to recently-music was waaaay too loud. Also in the bathroom the speaker sounds like a mosquito version. Seniors have money to spend, don't run them off with assaultive volumes in your restaurant. This volume also seems inappropriate for babies, and small children. TIP for all good managers, take the courage, with patience, sit down and slowly read all your reviews, and really hear what people think.

CPK @ Lakewood Mall has now been our favorite place to have our friends' birthday lunches, for the…read more6th time this year. We usually come on a Friday at 11 AM right after gym so that means we're starving. And Lauren, our favorite server, doesn't disappoint. She is attentive, efficient, and proactive. You don't have to ask, she instinctively knows what you need and brings it to you. She is amazing! She's one of the top reasons why we always come back. My favorite order is the Lunch Pizza Duo - pepperoni, mushrooms and sausage pizza and Thai salad with dressing on the side. The pizza is warm, thin and crispy with right portions of pepperonis, mushrooms and sausages. The Thai salad has all fresh crunchy greens including thinly sliced Napa cabbage and edamames. The dressing is citrusy and sweet with a little kick. I love this combination. Staff is friendly esp Lauren, who serves us with a smile even when we become demanding seniors, sometimes. You know a caring server when you ask Lauren to take a group photo and she makes sure that everyone's face is seen and not blocked by another. She's a 10/10. The place is clean with tables wiped and servings set. Ambiance is bright, open, and quiet enough that a group of 8-10 seniors can carry on conversations and hear each other without screaming. The prices and portions are just right, esp the Lunch Duo menu. Needless to say, we're coming back here AGAIN for our next birthday group lunch.

The first time I had food from here was sometime back in 2012. I had never been inside the…read morerestaurant, but had family bring back pizza subs and garlic bread, both of which were SO yummy, even reheated the next day. The garlic bread was so flavorful and the pizza subs were stuffed. I'd had it several times since that first time and it never seemed to disappoint. Well fast forward to 2026 and something has changed. We had family in town, (the ones who introduced me to this place), and we decided to revisit an old favorite and made our way here. Maybe I should have been more worried when there was no one else in the restaurant besides the employees. We waited around 20-30 minutes for our food and no one else came in while we were there. I don't know what it was, but the food tasted nothing like I remember; both the pizza sub and garlic bread lacked major flavor and the bread seemed a bit hard. From what I can remember from the last time I had it, they've changed up the bread (which seems narrower now), the sauce (which seems like it packs less of a flavor punch) and the garlic seasoning (which seems a bit tame). The best thing we had from here was the fried zucchini. Everyone was so disappointed with the new flavors, that we had SO much of the garlic bread left and it only got eaten after I'd toasted, seasoned, and added cheese to it. Would I come back? Not sure. Maybe if I'm in the area, and craving some good fried zucchini, but to make a 30+ minute drive out here...I don't think so.

The drive-thru is usually super busy... so I wouldn't exactly call it a "quick stop." We've waited at least 20 minutes in the drive-thru before. That said, the burgers are consistently delicious, so we keep coming back! We usually keep it simple with two Double-Doubles and a small fry. The fries can be hit or miss... when they come out nice and crispy, they're great, but when they aren't they aren't super desirable. We'll occasionally grab a shake too, and those are pretty great. Especially on a day like today when it's over 100° outside, a cold shake definitely hits the spot! Even with a wait, In-N-Out always satisfies the craving, and I'm sure we'll be back again soon!
