There is nothing like some Shakey's Pizza, Fried Chicken & Mojo Potatoes. I enjoyed it as a kid and still love it as an adult. The Carson, CA location has nice workers and good customer service. It gets pretty busy at this location but it's worth the wait. I like that they have never changed their flavor. Yum Yum . I recommend this restaurant.

So happy to find Shakey's open until 10pm. Late night and wanted something. PCM for one was perfect. Everything was fresh and perfectly baked and fried. Service was friendly and while I was ordering each item individually, the cashier suggested PCM individual order and that saved me some money! The restaurant was bigger than what looked like from the outside. Clean and orderly. Located in the same plaza as Walmart. Will come back!

Definitely a good experience right as you walk in you're greeted with welcome and as you leave they say thanks and goodbye. The staff is focused during bunch of lunch time during the week. They do the refills on the pizzas as well as the other proteins and pastas pretty regularly as well as the wipes off the tables in the dining area pretty consistently keeping things clean. Just an overall we know what this is about and we're here to serve. Definitely make sure to leave a tip like I did even though I don't think it's required or noticed but nonetheless they work hard help him out. As for the food the salad bar is fairly decent Lot of options on the toppings hit and miss on the lettuce so just filter through. The proteins beginning with the chicken was decent the batter on the skin was a little lacking in flavor and as was the pork riblets. Didn't try the pasta or the grain based offerings other than moving on to the pizza Pizzas; were OK as you know from Shakey's the crusts were crisp and there was enough cheese on the pizzas. Drink station sufficed allowing you to get sodas/ras tea/lemonade, tea-sweet or unsweet and water with lemon option. All in all good experience will return the manager's doing it right and the employees seem enthusiastic about being there. Monday - Friday: $14.99 per adult. Saturday - Sunday: $15.99 per adult. Seniors: A $1.50 discount is typically available. Beverages: These are usually not included in the buffet price and cost approximately $2.00 extra. Hours: Served daily from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Menu: Includes unlimited pizza, fried chicken, Mojo Potatoes, pasta, and a full salad bar.

I remember when most Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants would have a weekday buffet, and I would 'drag' my co-workers to it (when we wanted variety from our typical AYCE Chinese buffets). Those lunches are all gone now, so when I got the itch of nostalgia, this Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Carson was our destination for a Tuesday lunch. It was very satisfying. My wife and I invited our friend/neighbor to come with us and arrived around 11:20. There was still parking in the strip mall parking lot, but can see how those spots would fill up quickly. Upon entering, there is a line where you order and pay (The buffet runs from 11 AM to 2 PM daily, costing $14.99 for adults [$1.50 senior discount, plus $1 on weekends]). Got our customary water cups, which can be filled from a nice water container near the utensils (there is also a self-serve soda machine). A plate for pizza and a plate for salad is given to each diner, and the obligatory sign stating that a clean plate is needed for every trip was visible. The set-up isn't easy to get a new plate, since the only way to talk to a counter person is to fit into the same line that people are waiting to enter. I was pleasantly surprised when someone walked around giving out fresh plates as old ones were bussed. There were a choice of up to five different pizzas, and it tasted OK (reminded me of Chuck E Cheese pizza) with plenty of cheese and toppings. If you get lucky and get a fresh one, it would probably taste a bit better. But I was impressed with the amount of toppings. I also tried the spaghetti with sausage marinara (OK for a one-time try), and enjoyed the sweet corn, and really good mashed potatoes with gravy. The other main dish was chicken (both baked and fried, about as good as what you can get from a grocery deli, which is pretty decent, a skippable rice pilaf, and cocktail meatballs (which I know I should skip, but can't resist since they almost always taste good). Their famous Mojo potatoes weren't as good as I thought it would be. What I was really impressed was the salad bar. It had more choices with fresh(er) ingredients than either of the last two salad bars I remember (at Golden Corral and on various cruise ships). This is what I returned for seconds, and would be a good choice for non-pizza fans (though strangely, there is no salad bar only option on the menu).

Family style dinner

We had a great dinner! Food was delicious Thank you for the fast and excellent service. The ambiance was inviting and enjoyed watching the soccer game! Thank you Milton for your welcoming ambiance.

Dined in. Missed the red onions in the salad bar area. Ordered a small pizza with chorizo, jalapeños, red onions and pepperoni. Also ordered the salad bar and a pint of Stella Artois. Food was delicious. Everything was clean. Service was great. Lots of parking.

It was 9:51

Finally tried the Burratino's trendy black onion pizza!…read more One issue we found is that we didn't really know where to park. Update: The black onion really didn't suit my tastes. But I did enjoy the italian sausage and basil. Still so glad I got to try it. I heard many people say that the black onion was sweet, but personally, It didn't taste sweet to me. The sauce was quite overbearing. The comments were right about one thing: it was very tangy. However, the good news is that my family loved it. If the family loves it, then it really has the potential. We loved the ambiance! The restaurant is very clean, seriously spotless. Based on our experiance, we also found the restaurant is empty. The plants outdoors really set the vibe. I love how it feels like you are in a garden. The inside feels like a typical pizza place. Very calming, and cool temperatures. Their pizza is fresh and everything is done well. The service is outstanding. For anyone who is new to the place, the waiters will bring you the pizza after ordering. They came as soon as possible and everything was delivered well. While I wasn't a fan of the black onion marinara, I do believe that we will come back in the future and try a few different pizzas. I am still willing to think that maybe I didn't order the right thing and that there is more flavors to try. Thank you Burratino's Brick Oven Pizza for the good experiance. I am willing to try the restaurant again.

Disappointing I've eaten at Burattino before, but my…read moreexperience today under the new ownership and management was extremely disappointing. I ordered Parmesan wings and a medium pizza with sausage, and both were overwhelmingly salty. I don't remember the food ever being this salty before. It was so bad that I ended up throwing it in the trash when I got home. It's frustrating to spend money on a meal you can't enjoy. Based on this experience, I'm really disappointed with how the food has changed... ;-(

A very satisfying place for Hawaiian-style pizzas and other Hawaiian foods and treats. I've been…read morecoming here for years, and it's always been great. Since Auntie Mailie acquired it, the quality hasn't dropped, and the menu has been refreshed a little. The pies (aka pizzas) are all excellent. The pie ingredients are more what you would expect for a place in/from Hawaii, and not mainland Italy. I'm not sure I have any particular favorite, and I'll sort of be of no help because I think every pie is good. Recently, I had the Haleakalā Pie, which has a nice combination of chicken, vegetables, pineapple, onion, garlic, and lots of cilantro. And if you're convinced that Hawaiian Pizza needs to have ham and pineapple, they've got that too, but do notice as it's called a Not Hawaiian Pie because if you didn't already know, "Hawaiian Pizza" was actually invented in Toronto, Canada, not Hawaii. Don't miss all the various Hawaiian treats. Particularly notable are the various flavored Malasadas. Order one, or take a half dozen to go, you won't regret it.

I wasn't really in the market for pizza so after scanning the menu, I decided to order the bacon fried rice breakfast burrito. The burrito is HUGE! It seems like it contains an entire egg omelette as well as hash browns, fried rice, and cheese. The salsa that accompanies the burrito is excellent. Spicy and fresh without being overly hot. The egg could have been a touch more moist but overall a solid choice. There are so many new items, I look forward to returning and trying a few more options. Good job AP&S.

The pizza felt a little soggy in the middle but it still tastes good. I believe our lasagna came with salad that we didn't receive. But it's okay. Service was great even though the wait was long for food, service and seating. I'm telling you.... It was PACKED!!! The Italian sub was subpar. I expected more. But glad I got the lasagna lol. The fountain drinks were good and crisp. Lots of parking but because it gets packed it fills up quickly. Small spot.
