If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. However, it wasn't necessarily the establishment but…read morerather who works behind the scenes. I just wanted to write this review for an absolute work tank called Erick. I was having a bad day, came in pretty late after Soltopia had ended and right away Erick noticed something wasn't quite alright with me. Couple minutes go by and Erick comes with appetizers as well as a pitcher of Beer, says it's on him and to think of it as a "pick me up." He sits down and asks me what's been going on, I build up the courage to tell him and he's just there, listening, which is really all I needed at the time. Well time goes by and before I knew it I was smiling and laughing, I had temporarily forgotten the reason why I had came in looking so sad. I'm personally a firm believer of it isn't what's in the establishment, but more so WHO's in the establishment which is why I went out of my way to write this. Woodstocks is so lucky to have such a high calibre of an employee working for them!

I was surprised by their take on how they develop their crust. It's folded over the slice making for an interesting texture profile. Each bite was packed with flavor and the crust was great enough on its own! I'm also a big ranch with pizza guy and their ranch is phenomenal. Big kudos to Woodstocks for absolutely crushing it!

What really makes it worth going to, though, is the convenience and the service. The staff is always friendly and on top of things, which goes a long way. It's also right next to their sister sports bar, Rounding Third, which makes it an easy spot to grab food before or after a drink. The whole setup just works. I'm a fan and will definitely be coming back.

I think a container of the smoked salsa instead of whatever was in it would have been a better choice. Much more flavor. The chicken was dry but the skin had the grilled smokiness.

They both contain bacon, so i thought this bacon Mac and cheese would be a bad deal ..that is until I tried it and realized that it has A LOT more bacon than the bomb Mac and cheese. Probably like 10x more bacon. It's awesome. I didn't have to add anything else like sauce to finish it. Every bite was awesome. Favorite so far. 2. BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese. I like the BBQ version more than the Buffalo. I got more chicken this time and it improved the overall meal. 3. Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. The chicken is good, i got the crispy version, but there isnt enough pieces of chicken for the price. It's good, but not worth the money. 4. Bomb Mac & Cheese. Great, spend the extra money instead of getting the regular Mac and cheese. I had to add spicy mayo, Sriracha, spicy mayo and jalapenos from Lao Wang to make it better though. 5. Flamin Hot Mac & Cheese. The crushed Takis definitely improve the regular Mac & Cheese. Therefore it's definitely worth the extra dollar for the crushed Takis. Or just buy a bag of Takis and crush them yourself and add that to the regular Mac and cheese. But for convenience, just get this one instead of the regular Mac & Cheese. 6. Street Corn Mac & Cheese. Not as good as the other Mac & Cheese options. More queso fresco would make it better, but it wouldn't be enough to make it worthy of a second purchase. 7. Mac and Cheese. Good, but needs something extra. Kinda plain, I added Sriracha, chili oil and spicy mayo from Lao Wang to make it better. 8. Mac Bites. My least favorite Mac & Cheese option. The monster sauce is good. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Snack Wraps with 15 different sauces. From Favorite to least favorite: 1. Crispy chicken snack wrap with House Sauce, is delicious. 2. Chipotle Sauce. 3. Ranch. 4. Honey BBQ Sauce. 5. Teriyaki Sauce. 6. Spicy Asian. 7. Spicy Sauces. 8. Hummus. 9. Spicy Mayo. 10. Honey Mustard. 11. Buffalo. 12. Bleu Cheese. 13. Tzatziki. 14. Green Salsa. 15. Tahini. I tired ALL of the Grilled Cheese options. I enjoyed all of them. I ranked them from favorite to least favorite: 1. CRISPY Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese. 2. GRILLED Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese. 3. B.L.T. Grilled Cheese. 4. Bacon Avocado Grilled Cheese. 5. The Bacon Cheddar Ranch Grilled Cheese. 6. Chili Grilled Cheese. 7. BBQ CRISPY Chicken Grilled Cheese. 8. BBQ GRILLED Chicken Grilled Cheese. 9. The Veggie Grilled Cheese. 10. Fantastic Grilled Cheese. 11. The Caprese Grilled Cheese. 12. The Bacon Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese. . 13. Adult Grilled Cheese. 14. Classic Grilled Cheese. I have tried 3 different bread options for the Grilled Cheeses. Favorite to least favorite. 1. Sourdough Toasted 2. Rye Toasted 3. Wheat Toasted I have tried all Wing flavors (BONE-IN) except for Ghost Pepper. Favorite to least favorite. 1. Mango Habanero 2. Honey Garlic 3. Spicy Asian 4. Garlic Parmesan (better than Wingstop) 5. Honey Hot 6. Teriyaki 7. Honey BBQ 8. Spicy Buffalo 9. Spicy Korean 10. Mild Buffalo 11. Cajun 12. Lemon Pepper 13. Plain 14. Spicy Scorpion (Extremely Spicy) I've tried every sandwich except for the Falafel and the Fat Hippie. Rank: 1. The Fat Gaucho (I think if I changed the Honey BBQ Sauce to Chipotle or House Sauce it would be the best) 2. The Fat Sam (I think if I removed the fries it would be better) 3. Pastrami (Delicious) 4. Philly Cheesesteak Arguably better than Jersey Mike's Cheesesteaks. 5. Chopped Cheese 6. Patty Melt 7. B.L.T. (Best Bacon in I.V.) 8. Lamb Gyro 9. Ham Sandwich 10. Veggie Sandwich I made a separate sandwich list for the chicken options. Rank: 1. Chicken Shawarma 2. Southwestern Chicken Club 3. Honey Spicy Chicken 4. Chicken Bacon Ranch 5. BBQ Chicken 6. Chicken Pesto Avocado 7. Buffalo Chicken with Bleu Cheese 8. Chicken Tender I made a separate list for Turkey. Rank: 1. Turkey Chipotle Club 2. Turkey Pesto Avocado 3. Turkey Sandwich. I've tried some of the Burgers. Rank: 1. Gaucho Burger 2. IV Burger 3. Buffalo Burger 4. Breakfast Burger 5. 1/4 (Quarter Pounder) 6. Hamburger I've tried some of the Fries. Rank: 1. Dirty Andrew Fries 2. Asada Fries 3. Buffalo Chicken Cheese Fries 4. Animal Style Fries I recommend using their IV Deli APP, because you save time and you can customize your order A LOT. The APP also gives you credits for free food. Overall I loved eating here and ordering something new every day. I liked that this place was open late and had a HUGE & awesome variety of comfort foods :) I was shocked I was able to purchase BOSS coffee here, because I only saw these little cans of coffee in vending machines in Okinawa and mainland Japan..that's awesome:) I.V.

I was pleased to see that happy hour was still being offered despite the holiday. The menu offers a nice selection of bites and discounted drinks at great prices! For food, we ordered the carne asada flatbread, onion rings, garlic herb fries, and chicken wings. All of which were enjoyable! Although, I will mention that the carne asada had a slightly funny taste that wasn't very pleasing. It was tolerable, but could have been better. Despite that, the food was delicious. We also ordered the white chocolate & raspberry cheesecake. The cheesecake comes from the Cheesecake Factory! So, you know it's going to be good and it was. The presentation was beautiful as well. For drinks, I had the Prickly Pear margarita and Paloma. Both were well made and refreshing to drink. I love the rooftop vibes here! The layout is great and the views are amazing. More like Mountain View's, but still nice to be up high with sky views. There's also a restroom available, so you don't have to go downstairs. Our waitress Caitlyn was such a sweetheart throughout our visit. She had great recommendations and consistently checked on us. The music was great and it was good vibes all around! They have different bands that play here. Check out their website or instagram for more information on that. Overall, a lovely time was had and I would definitely come back here.

I actually appreciate having the opportunity to have a say in how done my meat is so kudos to Sizzling Lunch for operating this kind of restaurant. This specific location had some minor issues though, mainly with service. I've been to a few other locations in the Bay Area and the service is always good. Unfortunately when we visited this location as we were passing through, the server was grumpy from the moment we walked in. The food was quite good but the Rib-eye special did not come with soup unlike the ones in the Bay Area. But once the garlic buttery beef hit my tongue all was forgiven. Five stars for the excellent sizzling plates and garlic butter minus one star for the mediocre service.
