    Literally ordered a breakfast burrito from this place and they sent a tortilla. Would not recommend. Updated with receipt since owner is gas lighting

    California eggs Benny with home fries.

    I really wanted to love this meal, I've only had The Embers once before and it was takeout ribs, I thought the ribs were great so I assumed they'd have great breakfasts as well but unfortunately there was nothing great about this meal at all. My man described it as tired and uninspired. The home fries were just potatoes, no onion, no peppers, no flavor. The chicken fried steak is the worst I've had at a restaurant, the steak tasted like a Salisbury steak from a box in the freezer section, it wasn't even chicken fried as far as I could tell, no crispy coating at all, and the gravy was thin and bland, not a sausage in sight. The eggs benny were ok, eggs were a little overcooked, (they weren't poached, they were fried and crispy on the bottom side). With all the other great places in town we won't be going back.

    I was meeting with a contractor and he said he knew of a a place with the best steak sandwich to which he had been coming since the 80's. He had not been there for many years but looked promising as we were promptly taken to our table. Service was excellent. We got the food pretty fast and I had noticed they had a wood burning oven so not sure if the steaks are also cooked in there but just looked cool. Steak looked great when it arrived and was cooked properly , medium, as I like. It was flavorful, cooked nicely, and tender but the trimming was not right. Nice New York steak shall have some fat that if rendered well melts in your mouth but I took a bite that I chewed and chewed and could not break down or swallow. I had to spit that out in a napkin so that was not great. My fries were ok not great so they could improve on the quality of their meat and fries. Not the best steak sandwich or the worst one I have had. For the prize it was fine but I was underwhelmed as my expectations where to high coming in, that's my fault not theirs, I guess..... Service: 5 Food: 3 Ambiance: 4

    12/26/24 Placed an order through Door Dash for the steak and eggs hash browns crispy eggs sunny side up English muffin grits and orange juice. Did not receive my grits and orange juice called the restaurant immediately@7:09 lady answered I addressed my concerns regarding my missing items her response was "they have 3/4 workers that's making food she's not sure who didn't include my missing items and to contact Door Dash so that I can get a refund" the presentation of the food was horrible my hash browns were far from crispy if anything soggy from the steak being thrown on top of them and salty...UGH!!!!!!

    Bacon, eggs, toast, Corned beef, Pancakes

    The worst of the worst chicken and dumplings I've ever had in my life. That soup taste like some kind of creamer. I don't know what.

    Expensive price for bland basic food. We were the only people in the restaurant and the waiter barely checked on us.

    The Chicken Alfredo looks good but it has an aftertaste and taste average. Very little portion. Cashier is not friendly.

I knew I was in the right place when the menu didn't have artisanal kale or a mushroom burger on it. I stopped in with my dad, who has consistently great things to say about CJ's. The customer service was excellent from the moment we walked through the front door. Friendly vibes all around- it seems like CJ's is a community spot. The patrons and staff knew each other on a first-name basis and were quick to include us in the conversation. The overall vibe is what made it a five-star experience for me, and it seemed to get busy shortly after we arrived. Our food was ready quickly, and it was delicious. It was a little over $100 for generous portions of ribs, chicken, hot and mild links, macaroni and cheese, beans, and bread. While we took our food to go, the restaurant was very clean, and I would have been happy to stay and eat there. I hope to try the peach cobbler in the future, but I was too full today to have room for it.

The links are beef, which was nice for me I stopped eating pork a year ago. The owner was so thoughtful, he gave us extra sides of potato salad at no charge. This guy is simply outstanding. My mamma enjoyed her dinner so much the only thing left was the rib bones. The beef links were tasty, the BBQ sauce added an extra kick to the meat, we were both happy.

    I love British style fish n' chips and haven't had really great local fish n' chips since Rhode's…read more(back in '80's Richmond/San Pablo - yes I'm old). Anyway, Hundal Sahib fish n' chips is pretty darn close! Their selection of fish and fried veggies is excellent. We ordered a large family meal (for 4 people) which came with 6 pieces of fish (large meaty pieces of cod), chips (aka fries for the Americans out there), fried mushrooms and onion rings and hush puppies. It was all made to order, crispy, juicy and delicious. And they gave us plenty of tartar sauce and malt vinegar without us even having to ask! I highly recommend this spot. And the restaurant interior is very cool and kitschy!

    "The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli!"…read more-George Costanza, Seinfeld Like a step back in time.. haven't been in awhile, and now appears to have new owners. da Scene: had a mediocre baja fish taco the other day, so stopped here to grab some good ol' fish & chips. Looks the same from the outside. Inside could use some updating, but I always take it home. da Grub: went with the tried an true Double Catch; Cod & Prawns w/ mushrooms & fries. At 1st glance it looks pretty much the same... munch, and yep, very familiar Cod, very crispy outside, soft, white, tender inside. Prawns were nice size, about 2 bites per; mushrooms also crisp/tender. All atop some fries... and these were the only discernable difference, these were fries, not traditional pub style english "chips" as before - ok, but not as sturdy as chips which are typically stubby and thicker, and somehow stay crispy. Not a deal breaker though... the quality of the Cod & Prawns is most important and still shines through. da Service: Greeted warmly, nice lady, 15 min wait, packed in open cardboard tray so things stay crispy, you get a container each of malt, tartar & the cocktail/horseradish sauce (yummy, I use all 3 in every bite!). 5 Stars for quality; it's a bit pricey, but when it comes to seafood, don't skimp. Old school hole inda wall feel, with friendly service. You can't eat this too often, it's a cheat meal... but when you get the craving, this hits the spot, so come get it.
