O. M. G. Sushi  roll, one of my favorites.
Pete V.

This is my local go to for good sushi. The staff is polite and friendly with great service. The restaurant is somewhat small, but very comfortable. Most of their customers generally get their food to go, like I do sometimes. BTW, they also serve fish & chips, that's quite popular too!! Looking forward to going back soon.

Dinner Special $13.99 includes 1 fish, 3 onion rings, 3 lumpia, 3 zucchini, chips and soda
Susan D.

The restaurant was cute and clean in a strip mall location. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table. They have about 30 types of sushi that looked good but we were in the mood for fish and chips. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are enormous. The fish pieces were about a foot long. The tempura style coating on the fish and veggies was perfectly crispy. The lumpia was excellent. The chips were a big disappointment because they were just frozen crinkle cut fries. Our other criticism is there did not seem to be any salt on anything. I deducted a star because of the chips and lack of salt. The bathroom was clean. Next time we will just order the veggie combo and a couple of pieces of fish on the side.

Best fish & chips in the area! Fish & chips and sushi bar. Wide variety of sushi and rolls. Lumpia is available too. Clean and Comfortable. New comfortable banquettes. Well appointed and tastefully decorated. Homemade tartar sauce. Great quality food! Generous portions of fish! Well fried and crispy! Not the least bit greasy! Great calming background music. Friendly, courteous, welcoming, and smiling staff. Each individual order freshly fried at the moment of ordering. Malt vinegar and lemon slices available. My new go-to place for fish & chips!

Crispy fish and chips!
Dana A.

The owners are so kind AND the food is delicious! I mean, everything fried is good rightHubs and I enjoyed the Tugboat, 6 pieces of fish with chips and a side of ginormous fried mushrooms! They bring all the fresh sauce directly from the fridge to your table. The fish is a generous portion and nice and CRISPY. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! Now, it's nap time

$11.99 lunch special! 1 piece of fish, onion rings, zucchini , limpia and a soda!

What a fantastic find! I just had my first meal at **Tug Boat F&C in Lincoln, CA**, and I'm absolutely thrilled. My family and I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we'd discovered a true local gem. The lovely lady behind the counter greeted us right away, and I was so impressed by how sparkling clean and tidy everything was. There's a wonderful variety of delicious fried treats on their fish and chips menu, and their sushi menu is absolutely lavish! With sushi rolls ranging from just $9 to $15, it's an incredible bargain. We decided on the $11.99 special, and it was pure perfection! It came with one piece of fish, three potstickers (or lumpia!), three zucchini, three onion rings, and even a soda. Every bite was **crispy, light, and wonderfully fresh**. You could tell the oil was perfect--no old or reused taste at all. This place truly won't disappoint! Just remember they're closed on Sundays and Mondays. I can't wait to go back!

Yummy Yummy Roll, Lumpia, hushpuppies
Amber M.

Stopped by Tugboats for lunch today and really enjoyed it! You order at the counter and they bring the food out to your table, which came out super fast. I got the Yummy Yummy Roll, hushpuppies, and lumpia--all were fresh and really good. The malt vinegar on the table goes perfectly with the hushpuppies, and the lumpia comes with a sweet and sour sauce that was great. Everyone working was super friendly and helpful. They've got a big menu with lots of appetizers, sushi, and fish options to choose from. The inside is cute too, with fun wall decorations that make it feel cozy. Only downside is the parking lot--it's pretty small and can be tough to get in and out of when it's busy. But overall, definitely a solid spot for lunch!

Service is always quick and staff is always friendly. I have never had a roll I don't like!

I've been going for month, up to a year. I love their sushi. Dynamite (spicy) on the left and Flying Tiger (lemon) on the right. The fish and chips are good too. The seating area is relaxing. The parking lot is small but worth if you can get in or take to go.

this place is a gem! I haven't been here in a while, but I was nearby and had a craving so I stopped in. I'm so glad I did because I was hungry when I ordered hit the spot. They are so nice here service is always done with a smile and done quickly. There is Apple seating inside, which is very roomy and comfortable. I will definitely be back more often.

Simple, yet satisfying. In the words of Pumba. All smiles. Ordered a Seafood Sampler 2 Fish Combo "Dragon" Roll The fact that they serve sushi and it's small and quaint. Plus the staff keep to themselves and are super attentive. This cozy joint is a decent place to just partake a simple meal. The sushi rolls are portioned just right. Thank you kindly for the meal

Small dinning room, but clean.   Great fish & chips.  Also freshly made to order sushi.   Hidden gem in plain sight.

We recently ordered dinner from Tugboat Fish and Chips. It had been a while since I had eaten their food. I have always had positive experiences in the past. This time lived up to my expectations. Our meal consisted of * Cab Cake * Rainbow Role (Crabmeat, Avocado supported by a variety of Fish) * O.M.G. Role (Crabmeat, Tuna, Salmon, Albacore & Cucumber) * Clam Strips * Prawns Every think was good. I practically enjoyed the O.M.G. Roll. The food was well packaged for takeout.

Wow! Very nice people run this little restaurant. The fish and chips are good. Their tartar sauce and ranch are also very good. We saw the great ratings on Yelp and decided we had to give tugboat a try. I'm glad we did. I ordered the lunch special; 1 fish, 3 onion rings, 3 lumpia, 3 zucchini, fries, and a canned drink for $10.99, my wife ordered the same, except she got 3 potstickers instead of lumpia. Lastly, we tried one sushi roll, California special, which turned out to be really good. This spot has been here for over 20 years, and this is our first time visiting. It's decorated and arranged nicely, and everybody from the staff people to the customers seem to be happy! Nice place for lunch, for sure! I'm sure we'll be back.

I didn't even see a drink menu, but the bartender made me a custom gin drink with elderflower and it was delicious.

It's the type of low key establishment you'll find in neighborhoods of many big cities. Their hours good too, especially for folks like us who eat meals at atypical times... with a broad menu available most of the day for whatever you choose. We came with friends and sat outside on the patio for the first time. It was absolutely delightful with a nice cool breeze and just the right outdoor temperature. Coming here for a very late lunch, after 2pm, there weren't many patrons which meant we didn't feel rushed or crowded and settled in for a nice long stay, which was quite fine with the staff and manager who seemingly welcomed it while not needing a table. The back of the menu has lunch specials, available until 3pm. Right under the wire, we ordered. I got the Veggie Sandwich with a side salad and my choice of Italian dressing which came on the side. My salad arrived first and was larger than expected and quite good. I liked the variety of greens and the addition of a couple types of beans, pinto and garbanzo. A very nice hearty and fresh salad. The Veggie Sandwich was delicious with a blend of vegetables, melted cheese and a robust sauce (mayo & mustard). It came warmed on foccacia bread. Being a bit difficult to eat and messy as things slipped out onto the plate an ample amount of paper napkins were provided. They just know and prepared in advance to be asked for some! It was a very enjoyable meal and the only reason for one less star is how mainstream it is as a restaurant, very consistent yet nothing out to have a 'wow', unique factor; which frankly is very OK. If you haven't been, do try it.

We kicked things off with the artichoke dip, which is always a fantastic starter--warm, flavorful, and a perfect way to begin the evening. I ordered the Chicken Marsala and made a substitution to linguine instead of potatoes, which turned out to be a great call. The dish was well-prepared and satisfying. The only slight question mark for me was the sweetness of the sauce--it had a different flavor profile than I've experienced elsewhere--but it was still very good (I cleaned the plate). My brother went with the Italian calzone, served in three generous portions, and he absolutely loved it. The marinara sauce deserves a mention on its own--rich, well-balanced, and a great complement to the dish. My wife stuck with her usual Pasta Toscana (no surprises there), and as always, it delivered. It's a consistently excellent dish and clearly a favorite for a reason. My sister-in-law really enjoyed the gnocchi, and my nephew, who's vegetarian, was very pleased with the Eggplant Parmesan--he said it was flavorful and hit the spot. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent--attentive without being overbearing. We dine here regularly and enjoy working our way through the menu, trying something new each visit...well, most of us do. All in all, another great experience. Siino's continues to deliver a consistently enjoyable meal, and we're already looking forward to the next visit.

I dine here regularly, and their hamburger is consistently fantastic--always cooked right and full of flavor. But tonight really raised the bar. My wife went with me to the Wednesday Prime Rib Special, and it was hands-down one of the best prime rib dinners I've had in a long time. The meat was cooked to perfection, incredibly flavorful, and that end cut... absolutely off the chart. On top of that, the portion size was generous--they definitely don't skimp here. The sides were just as impressive. The veggies were spot on, and the au gratin potatoes were phenomenal--fresh-cut potatoes, rich, cheesy, and simply over the top delicious. My wife also tried the prime rib sandwich with fries, and it was excellent as well. Fresh bread, perfectly cooked meat--every bite delivered. As usual, the view of the golf course and waterfall from the dining hall is spectacular. And the cherry on top? The service. We were greeted with smiles and treated like we were the most important guests in the room. That kind of experience makes all the difference. To those who may have had a different experience--I'd just say maybe give it another shot.

The Ahi Tataki Noodles, when offered, is fabulous and a favorite. Whenever I have it others pass by and say something similar to, "gosh, I wish I had ordered that". It happens more often than not! The other day I had the African Peanut Soup. Delicious and creative. A bit of spiciness would have really set it off well. (I saw someone add Tabasco to their bowl). The soups here are phenomenal, and come in either a cup or bowl. With the soup I had a bowl of chili. It was one of the best I've had, very tasty, hearty and quite satisfying. It's so nice that Meridians is open to the public as you get to see an array of folks not typically around the community. Some people give not so good reviews, but as with any review check the number of reviews they've written and read between the lines about a complaint to draw a conclusion on reliability. Some folks just like to complain and/or are overly critical. Do try it!

There's over 100 flavors. My go-tos are chocolate chip (vanilla ice cream blended with the chocolate they use to dip cones in- aka the " hard chocolate shell") or peanut butter chip (same thing but they add PB). I really think it's that hard chocolate shell sauce that makes the milkshake for me. If they used regular chocolate chips it wouldn't be the same! The digital menu of the milkshake flavors would change, which kind of threw me off a little bit. I feel like I couldn't focus on where I was reading. I realized I've never ordered food from Taylor's so today was the day! I ordered their smallest burger option which is the 1/6 lb junior burger. It was definitely a bite-size burger, (ok maybe a few bites) but it definitely packed a flavor punch. It had that "at-home charcoal backyard barbecue" taste that you want from a burger at a small town diner. It came with shredded lettuce, onion, a tomato and thousand island dressing. I was pleasantly surprised by the bun. It was so light and fluffy and airy! I was not expecting that. Know before you go: It's a small joint with a handful of tables inside, but there's also tables outside.

We enjoyed watching the Super Bowl LIV between the KC Chiefs and the SF 49ers at Halftime with many football fans in the house.

Numbers were already placed on the tables making it easy for the servers to wait on the guests. We did find an empty long table by the wall which we later shared with another young couple and his family.
