"Coffees fine, just be prepared to wait 20 plus minutes and remind them what they forgot to make. Avoid the chicken waffle sandwich at all costs I don't think this should be consumed by humans..."

I ordered the Turkey and Cranberry.The sandwich was two layers and came with a fresh and beautiful salad.Tasted wonderful and it was a good value for the buck.Will certainly go back."

"My wife chose this place, from a host of nice eateries in and around Livermore town centre, which we have been visiting for a while, to invest in the local economy. We wanted to go some place we haven 't been before. So Nick the Greek 's it was. The place is well presented, a nice covered, off road, outside eating area, and a spacious clean, modern inside eating area, with comfortable seating. The Gyros (Yee-ros) were some of the best we 've had in California. The classic lamband beef one was excellent, and the chicken one was fantastic. We went for the combo which meant you could have fries and drink, or fries and salad or salad and a drink. The green salad was well dressed in olive oil, salt and pepper.Simple, but so tasty when you actually want to taste the lettuce. The Gyros themselves were well put together with a bit of salad and not one sign of the pitta being soaked through with too much runny sauce. It courageously stayed togetheruntil the last couple of mouthfuls. And talking of mouthfuls, make sure you come hungry . The portions are generously meaty and the REAL potato fries were top notch and well seasoned. My wife and I know the food was good, because we didn 'ttalk to each other for a few minutes and we didn 't realise we had stopped talking. To top the main off, we also ordered the beignets as a small dessert, which we shared. I know there are five in the picture I posted, but I couldn 't wait,and ate one before I realised I hadn 't taken a picture. So yes, you get six of them, freshly fried, light, smothered in flavoured honey syrup and topped with nuts.The smell was amazing. The taste; even better. The service was excellent, youorder at the counter, pay and then collect your drinks from the machine and the server will bring your meal to the table you chose to sit at. Good, friendly service. They actually offered to delay making our beignets until we 'd finished ourGyros. And then they brought them out, freshly made. Little touches like that mean a"

"Couple dishes were unique, drinks were yummy and price was decent too. but I would like to enchant the service especially the one from Joaquin. I don’t get impressed easily by service but boy he was fantastic. He kept checking all the tables he got, service was very prompt, friendly and kind. We will def. come back. Oh it was first time visit and parking was little tricky for us. There was no connected parking but huge city parking lot right across the street. It’s just better if you are aware beforehand."

"the fondue was just okay. the chicken wings had a good taste, but a bit salty. on the other side the bark cabob was spiced, but the bark was tender and melted in the mouth. we also had the buffalo chicken bread. if they like gorgonzola when they want it, but it was too strong for us. the personal is super friendly, the place has no love to the detail: they can see Ziploc packs under the hostage. next to the bar is a stand with clean glasses that could be thrown away. on the curse sit some dirty wuts on some chairs"

"I love this little place with tasty Veggie Sushi. I recently switched back to being vegetarian and had been craving sushi. This restaurant is fantastic, located in the heart of downtown Livermore. I especially enjoyed sitting outside and listening to live music from a nearby restaurant. The sushi was delicious and the beer selection was great. The restaurant was clean and organized. I will definitely be returning to this spot."

"Waffle was great! Syrup is your standard bottled affair, as you can tell by the quantity given. All of the chicken was cooked together for the same time leaving the breast perfect but the drumstick and wing were jerky. The breast was delicious."

"I had heard of the Sichuan dish with two kinds of chilis, but never found it. China Villa has it on their new menu, which you have to ask for separately, though there is a board at the front. The dry and wet versions are available, and the dry is spectacular (ask for it with bones). Can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes. Service is a bit disorganized, but the prices are good."

"I never thought we could have so many tasteless dishes at one sitting. The appetizers had no flavor the sauces had no flavor. Our main courses had no flavor. Itâs not like we canât taste things because we can. But there was nothing to taste. We will never eat here again"

"Here on the way to the bay, we had come before and they are solid good. I had a deliciously drawn pork sandwich with Habreño Coleslaw and Makkaroni salad, which was quite delicious. The sandwich was sweet, savory and spicy, but not too spicy a great taste profile that meets the point. Note that they hold the cheese. Mummy has a **** with sweet potato fries and a Thai chili sauce for the fries, an excellent flavor combination. Note, they are slightly later opened than other restaurants in the area and are not too far from the highway. I'd rather wait and eat here than along the 5th. See pictures"

"I was truly truly impressed with the speed and service of the takeout here. The guy prepping takeout had so much hustle, and had my to go order ready in less time than the online ordering projected, even when I ordered two separate orders because I had forgotten something. It's an incredibly well run shop, with great front and back communication that allows them to work so fast. First, my tiramisu it was excellent. It was already prepped and ready for a last minute add to my order. My ceaser salad was perfectly fine. But the minestrone soup wasn't minestrone. It was a cabbage, zucchini, broth veggie soup that reminded me of the cabbage soup diet recipe. Although I slurped it all up because the broth was that good. The reality is, their food tastes no different than prepacked Italian food you buy in the grocery store frozen section which might explain how they had it ready so fast. My creamy tortellini with ham and mushrooms was yummy, and my meat sauce for my spaghetti was good and tasted like my favorite jarred sauce. But the meatballs were ultra salty and tasted like preservatives, as was my husband's chicken for his chicken parmesan. We couldn't say enough good things as we picked it up super quickly, and their combo was a great deal but once we ate everything, we decided we could make better Italian food ourselves at home. That said, if you are in a huge hurry or never cook yourself, then I do recommend these guys run a tight ship with great prices."

"Probably one of the best BBQ joints this side of the bay! Tried the 3 meat combo with brisket, 2 types of burnt ends, cornbread and waffle fries. Everything was absolutely delicious and I don't say that often about any place. My favorite was the very tender brisket. 4 types of BBQ sauces to compliment the brisket. Server was also super friendly and thoughtful. Outdoor dining area is very shaded and pleasant. Great selection of house and local craft beers."

"They have good happy hour deals. Tried their normal and speciality rolls. Both were nice. I was expecting small portions but was surprised to chunky rolls of sushi being served. Ordered oysters as well but they weren’t up to the mark. Their staff is very warm and friendly. We informed the staff Jimmy Chen about the taste of oysters and he quickly replaced it and apologized several times. Overall a good place."

"This little restaurant is a must try! Your food is delicious! Especially her tacos. I had lengua it was amazing. I haven't had big tacos for years. My husband ordered shrimp soup also he loved it! He couldn't stop thinking about her food. Your shrimps on the beers are also very delicious! Next time, I'll order the first time. We also tried the Enchiladas rice beans. The Enchiladas were okay, but I'll pass on them next time. The rice beans were good with the salsa chips. Only on the bottom is not enough chips for the 2nd bowl."

"Found this place right before we were on the way to ihop and I'm glad we did. This place has better food than ihop. What I got was a breakfast chicken and bacon waffle sandwich with a side of hash browns. The chicken inside was tasty and so was the bacon and eggs in it. The waffle was a perfect waffle, it had a nice flavor and definitely suits the name of the restaurant lol. Other picture I provided is a smile pancake which was also tasty even though this place specializes in waffles. Definitely will be back soon and recommend this place if you're looking for a new breakfast place to eat at."

"Went for lunch to this place on our way back from brentwood. Good atmosphere service were super quick. Loved the plant set up other decors. Tried springs rolls, roti Mussamun curry. Loved the roti. It was my first time trying it. Curry was good as well. All ingredients are listed on the menu so if you add to more veggies be specific.Our friends tried basil fried rice, which they loved with hot spice level. They were a little disappointed visually by Chowmein, but the flavor was good as per them.Overall, I loved it. I will definitely recommend it if you are in the area looking for thai food Vegetarian options: Tofu"

Its located in a small strip mall near a RiteAid, and the inside is a small cute restaurant. First off all the sandwiches are amazing. Everything tasted amazing the meats were great and the bread was soft. Great food!Food: 5/5"

"The Pozole Verde was good! Wished they gave sides like cabbage, lime, radishes. The Flautas were basic (pass) and the Carne Asada Fajitas Taco barely had any peppers. The carne meat was ok. The Birria tacos are the best here and the Crispy Pork Belly Taco are good too! Both a must try! I also really like their burritos. I had chicken tinga but again, wish fresh salsa was available for additional toppings."
