They were out of pickles but we got everything else on them, grilled onions and sauce etc. They don't sell fries or sodas, only burgers. I always eat fries with my burgers so that was disappointing. We went back inside to order sodas at the oyster bar. Got back and the burgers were done. The staff served them and then literally packed up, threw bags on their shoulders and walked away for good. It was a little weird since they still had an hour to go until closing according to their web listing. Burgers were delicious, except mine was pink in the middle and that's not my thing. Since the staff had already packed up and left there was nothing to do but eat around the edges. So that's what I did.

While the name implies a burger focus it does not give justice to the full breadth of the menu. Eating my feelings I opted for the Chicken Fried Steak plate with mashed potatoes, corn, and a buttery griddled dinner roll. It was like biting into a lynyrd skynrd guitar solo on 4th of July. I Dad taxed the boy's burger which was perfectly seasoned and griddled. The service was great - including the hand scooped milkshake. I will be back.

P's Way is the only way…read more That's literally what I'd tell someone if they were confused about what kind of wings to get. You look at the description and you almost wonder if all of that is a little...too much. I'm here to tell you that it's not. It's the only way. There's just something about the zing and tang of combining both the Lemon Pepper with the Buffalo sauce that takes the flavors to a whole new level. On top of that you get a hint of sweetness with the hot honey. These are some of my favorite wings in town. Possibly actual favorite. I need to come back and have them again really soon. But just know that if you are wings fan, you gotta try P's Way. The Fish and Chips and Mac were also good. The Fish seemed a little less flavorful than I thought it was gonna be. The fries made it up for them though. I couldn't stop munching on those. The Mac was solid. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a just really good dish that was straight to the point. I just obviously was super obsessed with these wings when I went. The inside is very homey. Has a more publike vibe. I walk in and almost imagine that I'm on the water or at a pier or something. The people working here are usually very nice. The very last time I came here a guy took my order and forgot one of our items but I think he was new. Luckily this girl with a long blonde ponytail who had served us before asked us if we got everything. When we told her about our missing item she apologized a whole bunch and made everything better. Oh and of course they have amazing beers. Our favorites are the rotation of Dark Beers, Mexican Lagers and Ciders that they have. We have yet to ever have a bad pour. Im pretty sure if you like beer there should be something for everyone. Even Wine slushies if you don't care for beer. Hillside was one of me and my wife's places we would go to when we shortly lived in Martinez. Even though we are a bridge away, we can't wait to come back sometime soon.

It's clear that this isn't an isolated incident either, according to other reviews on their page. On top of that, the prices feel like a major stretch, I am always picky with what I buy here because of this, almost like they are price gouging. For snacks and drinks, I'd recommend checking out Safeway instead. They offer better service and fairer pricing. Save yourself the frustration and go elsewhere. You wont get bullied for literally buying their things.

Food 4.5/5 Bar food is usually hit or miss, but I really loved the cheeseburger. It was flavorful, juicy, and absolutely delicious and the fries were also excellent and better than many burger-focused spots I've tried. We also ordered the cheese fries and tacos, but we weren't a huge fan of those. Still, I would come back just for the burger and fries alone. Customer Service 5/5 Amazing customer service.

I ordered the pecan waffle and love that I can get this as a combo - oftentimes you can only get the waffle and have to add sides which gets costly.

I will definitely be back to try lunch or dinner.

It's not always easy anymore finding a good restaurant serving a varied menu at reasonable prices…read more Seems like most places cater to specific tastes: Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, etc. But JP's is the exception. It's cozy and generally quiet (despite the big breakfast and lunch crowds), with plenty of good food in every category. Service is always splendid, with a friendly, helpful staff. And it's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which is another exception and helps a lot, too. The breakfast and lunch items are particularly good, with practically any kind of breakfast food or lunch sandwich you can name. The only drawback is the dinner menu, which is somewhat limited. I suspect this is of necessity, with breakfast and lunch crowds being much bigger, what with work nearby from the county and such. Nevertheless, everything on the menu is cooked to perfection, so try the dinners, too, and you won't be disappointed.

Vic's Martinez - A Hidden Gem with Waffles to Die For…read more If you ever have to go to court (or even if you don't!), Vic's in Martinez is the perfect spot to stop afterward. Their waffles are seriously to die for. And for those who are gluten-free--not by choice, like my sister-in-law--they have amazing "hipster toast" that she absolutely loves. I'm so grateful I got to visit during their last weekend open. It was heartbreaking to hear at the end of our meal that they're closing after Mother's Day weekend. We're crossing our fingers they'll reopen after the building remodel. If not, I've heard that The Hideout in Lafayette is owned by the same folks, so I'll definitely be giving that a try next!
