    Catfish fillet
    Erica R.

    Order 5 catfish filets for $12.99. Great price for the fillets, seasoned, and fresh, but they were super thin. So thin that it seemed like they may have cut a fillet in half or the pieces were flattened. Definitely more breading than meat. Some parts of the fillet were just breading... no meat. There is no way that that is catfish. It tasted kinda fishy as well. I haven't tasted the chicken, but I do not recommend this place for fish. You will be disappointed.

    You can drive thru, dine in or takeout. They have many options for sides and the fried rice seems to be popular. Will try next time. The food is seasoned very well and cooked to order. The breast was a bit dry but I like dark meat and that was perfect! Overall it was a great dining experience.

    Dark meat combo with mac & cheese and coleslaw
    Syeda H.

    This is definitely a place that offers food at a great value. I bought a combo that had 2 pieces of dark fried chicken, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, a roll, and a drink for around $5. I really like that they have a drive through and the person taking my order was friendly. In terms of the food, I found the fried chicken had great crunchy skin, but was a little too salty. The mac and cheese was pretty generic and bland.

    10 piece mix.

    It's very good, seasoned well, hot and fresh. My second time going this week. Try it, you won't Be disappointed

    When we order the food is fried fresh. I try not to go to often‍: my complaint as in my previous review is some of the people(younger ones) taking orders.

    I was driving around with my wife and I was so hungry. As always couldn't pick what I wanted to eat so I opened up the yelp app to see what was around. This place happened to pop up. Not too many pictures of the food and only one review, so it's hard to make a choice when you are super hungry. We all know when you are super hungry you don't want to waste that hunger on bad food. Lucky for me I made the right choice. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, more like a corner store. As you walk in you see plenty of tables and the set up it's a little weird but it works. They have 2 TVs where the tables are at so you can enjoy different shows which is a bit weird for a small place to have 2 TVs, but I guess they are doing good. They have plenty of drinks to choose from- Mexican sodas to snapple teas and everything in between. At the back of the restaurant is the kitchen and the register where you get to place your order. Let's get to the food. They have plenty of combos to pick from- some have chicken strips, catfish, fried chicken and shrimp. Portions are good and the prices are even better!! You can get a 5 piece chicken strip combo with 2 sides and a drink for under $7. I had the 2 piece white meat and mash potatoes with brown gravy and fries. My plate also had a roll and a jalapeño. My wife got the 6 pice shrimp combo, mash potatoes with white gravy and fries. I believe the total was around $12 or so. The chicken was fresh and super juicy, the flavor was regular nothing too special but good. The shrimp were huge, a lot of batter but shrimp were still a good size, mash potatoes nothing special but good. The fries were nice and brown, well done like I love. The rolls were those little Hawaiian rolls- great little side. I would definitely come back to this little hole in the wall place to try some other goodies.

    Nice menu

    I don't think the fish was really Catfish. But maybe it was. It just did not taste like Catfish.

Ethan immediately stepped in with patience and a genuinely helpful attitude. When the order became more complicated, he called on Ms. Emily for her expertise. Together, they took the time to make sure everything was entered correctly and that I received all of my coupons: a free birthday shake, a free ShackBurger, and fries for only $5! Their kindness, teamwork, and professionalism truly made a difference. They both had warm, welcoming smiles and made me feel valued as a customer rather than rushed or inconvenienced. This is exactly what exceptional customer service looks like...going above and beyond to help someone, even when the process is not simple. Thank you, Ethan and Emily, for turning a frustrating situation into such a positive experience. Shake Shack is lucky to have you both, and I will definitely be back to dine with you again!

    In-N-Out Burger is a classic fast food chain that has built its reputation around keeping things…read moresimple: burgers, fries, and shakes made fresh to order. We walked into a clean, casual space with a quick-service atmosphere that makes it easy to stop in for a straightforward meal. The menu is intentionally limited compared to many modern burger spots, but that simplicity is part of the appeal, and the layout of the restaurant reflects that focus on efficiency and consistency. The main highlight is the burger. The patties are cooked fresh, the ingredients taste noticeably simple and balanced, and the overall flavor comes from the combination rather than complicated toppings. We ordered the Double-Double, the signature order, and found it gave a good balance of beef, cheese, and classic toppings that came together cleanly. The Animal Style option adds grilled onions, extra spread, and mustard-cooked patties, which gives the burger a richer flavor profile and is worth trying if you want the more famous version. The patties have a good sear, and the produce is fresh and crisp, providing a clean contrast to the richness of the meat and cheese. The fries are usually the most debated part of the experience. They are made from fresh-cut potatoes, which gives them a different texture than typical fast food fries. Ordering them Animal Style with cheese, grilled onions, and sauce is a popular way to make them more flavorful, since the regular fries can feel a little plain depending on preference. We tried them both ways and found the Animal Style version adds the richness needed to elevate the fries into something more substantial. The shakes are also a solid addition, especially as a simple pairing with the burger and fries, offering a classic, creamy finish to the meal. Service is generally efficient, even when the lines look long. The staff works quickly to keep orders moving, and the made-to-order style means there can sometimes be a short wait compared to other fast food chains. The team handles the steady flow with a practiced rhythm, and the open kitchen adds a layer of transparency that fits the brand's straightforward approach. The locations can get extremely busy, especially in areas where In-N-Out is newer, so peak hours may require some patience, but the turnover is fast enough that the wait does not feel excessive. In-N-Out delivers exactly what it promises: a simple, fresh, and affordable burger experience. It may not have the biggest menu or the most creative options, but the consistency, value, and classic style are what make it stand out. It is a place that works best when you are looking for a reliable burger rather than a complicated one, and the quality of the ingredients and the efficiency of the service ensure that the experience remains dependable across visits.

El Pollo Loco opened a few months ago and I received numerous coupons in the mail. Last Friday I decided to drop by El Pollo Loco to see what all the hype was about and use a coupon for the $5 pollo loco nachos. The nachos actually weren't bad. They were fairly tasty and a decent size. I enjoyed the chicken, queso, guac, and I even added jalapeños to the mix. I recently joined a weight loss challenge so I won't be a frequent patron of El Pollo Loco unless I drop by for a salad but I will definitely be back to sample more of the menu.

I decided to give the another chance since they were so close to where I was. To say that this was another big mistake for going back, is an understatement. I ordered a Tostada as a takeout. I live 20 minutes away. When I got home, the Tostada was stale and the ingredients were soggy. I called and, of course, they offered to make it again, if I brought it back. About one year ago, I ordered a 2 piece, again as a take out, at a different location. When I go home, the chicken looked and tasted like it had been sitting out for 2-3 days. Please understand, I've been eating El Pollo Loco for over 30 years, so my expectation is fairly high, however, knowing El Pollo Loco started on the West Coast, I was willing to give Texas grace since I loved the restaurant's food, therefore, I did lower my expectation. I have now banned the restaurant as one of my favorites. I guess the old adage is "If you know better, you should do better". I feel sorry for those who don't "know better". Never again, never again.
