It is located in a small plaza across from Galaxy Park which makes it great for post-workout or if you want to walk around a bit after eating or just casual eats. There's also a great dessert place in the area (Ken's Ice Cream Parlor). It's self-serve, but when our party got there the kiosk wasn't working (they did fix it after we ordered). The menu prices online when we searched through our phones are outdated so when we ordered at the register food was pricier than expected. However, the food was really good. -Edamame wontons are a new favorite for me! I'll have to keep an eye out if I ever see them on a menu. -El California Burrito: For some reason this took the longest to make, but not sure why. The chips were warm so maybe they made them fresh? Overall service and food was made pretty quickly. My friends got the got the Korean Tacos, Groovy Burger, and Pork Belly Banh Mi and everyone seemed to enjoy the food.

I ordered the pork belly Bahn mi and it was amazing. It had big chucks of flavorful and tender pork belly, plenty of vegies and the right amount of sauce. I especially appreciated the fact that the bread was toasted just right and ensured the sandwich didn't get soggy. I elected fries for my side and upgraded to truffle fries. They were nice and crispy and lot of cheese and truffle flavor. For my drink I tried the strawberry matcha. It was a great value, got 25% sweeet and it was perfect for me. Very refreshing. One of my coworkers ordered the El California burrito. It was pretty big and he couldn't stop raving about the huacatay crema. He even went up to the counter and asked for extra. Other members in my party ordered the Baja Bowl, Thai Chicken Curry and Saltado Peruano. Evryone loved their dishes and mentioned they cant wait to come back and try something new. The staff was very nice and attentive. The only thing was that I ordered 1st but received my order last but perhaps it take longer to make. Will be back to try the mojo cubano for sure!

It was super tender and the gochujang flavoring with braised cabbage was incredible. They give you complimentary bread and the quality was great. It was warm, buttery and fluffy but that wasn't even the best part. It came with a side of butter in the shape of Porsches topped with flaky sea salt. Our server was nice and the food came out in about 15 minutes. The restaurant was relatively empty since it was close to closing time but they didn't make us feel pressured to leave. It was also my boyfriend's birthday so they kindly gave us a chocolate dessert to celebrate.

Even if you don't care about cars, I think you will still enjoy it there. I noticed a large, private room too. Be sure to make a reservation if you want to dine here. The restaurant is nicely furnished and there's a nice view of the cars driving around the track outside. FOOD The 917 Burger is surprisingly good. The bun is so soft and perfect. The patty is nice and thick but also tender, juicy and flavorful. I also loved their choice of ingredients (especially the cheese) to tie everything together. The fries were great too. SERVICE Attentive and professional. PARKING They have a large lot. It's free and easy.

The food comes out instantly because everything is pre-made and sitting, nothing is actually fresh, and if it is "fresh," it's fried. The beer isn't even cold. The service is okay, but the overpriced menu doesn't match what you actually get. I ordered a Cuban listed at $19, and they charged me almost $24. Same with the drink--they charged $17 for my drink when it clearly said 15 The ambiance is loud music and a lot of pretentious locals. This place sucks.

This is very convenient if you are hungry or thirsty after a swim. I would definitely return to dine here when I am in the area. Sincerely, Rosemary Red carpet serv!

(There is also free parking at the adjacent businesses if you're a customer there. Ie. Hannam Chain) Nice, upscale vibes. The bartenders greeted us and welcomed us to sit anywhere in the dining area. It was just the hubby and I and another customer in the entire restaurant with plenty of tables and lounge chairs. There is also a view of the pool area next to the restaurant. The beet salad is plated beautifully and delicious. The only weak link is the fries and ranch which is okay. Hummus, veggies, pita chips, bread are a great start. I chose a simple club sandwich wrap and just added mayo. Hubby chose the chicken sandwich with cheese. All was tasty and the 2nd half of my wrap was still good for the next day's lunch. Hubby liked his sangria. For dessert they brought out two complimentary chocolate chip cookies with oats and walnuts. It's been a very long time since I've had their popular Doubletree cookies. They are wonderful! Great service, atmosphere, and food! 4.5 rounded down to 4.

They greet you when you arrive and also say goodbye when you leave, which I really appreciate. They have a separate kids menu with plenty of options. The overall menu is diverse as well. It's not just breakfast, but also tacos, pancakes, sandwiches, and salads. My go-to dish is the Original Loaded Hash Browns. It's really delicious and the portion size is just right. I also tried the Cobb salad with added chicken. It was fresh, but the dressing was a bit heavy and slightly salty. Unfortunately, I found a small piece of plastic in it, but when I mentioned it, they handled it well and removed it from the bill. The music is good, but the speakers don't seem to be in great condition, so the sound quality could be better.

The bell peppers added a nice touch and it had a noticeable Cajun seasoning. Not the best shrimp and grits I ever had but definitely far from the worst. I would definitely order it again. For desert we ordered the lemon drop pancakes. Definitely a unique flavor that I've never had before. Per the name, it was definitely on the sweet side.
