I stopped in this Post for a Sunday breakfast. It's a nice post located in a small strip mall. The…read morespecial for the day was the Pork Chop and Eggs breakfast. I asked for my eggs over medium and the meal also came with house breakfast potatoes and toast. I had rye toast and the meal cost $8 donation. The lady in the kitchen hit the eggs right on the money and they came with a slow run yolk and were partially cooked through. The eggs were lightly seasoned but I did add some black pepper. Pepper and eggs are my thing. The pork chops was thick, very tender, and tasty. However, I do recommend that they render the fat along the edges better, not to get rid of it, but to elevate the texture and give it a some crunch or crispiness, not to mention some color. The potato cubes were good. They had nice color, tender, and offered a nice crisp edge. They were also seasoned well. They rye toast was good. They went a little heavy on the butter for my taste, but then again, I like to spread my own butter on my toast. Lisa, the young lady on the floor that morning was very nice and helpful. Good service.

So I'm not finding as much that is interesting to me in thrift stores here now. But occasonally I do.

To the management: I wish more items in cabinets were placed so it was possible to see what they are without asking for assistance from the few employees. Or put a note on them with the basic info. The same for items behind the counter. We can't buy them if we can't see what they are.

Everything was smooth sailing on the Veterans Adviser's side for submission to the VA. When I received a denial the first time I was surprised and heartbroken, but Stephanie spoke to me directly and settled my nerves by explaining that sometimes the VA will do so. She explained the next steps and what might happen even at the supplemental claim stage. When I received denial #2 from the VA it was not a surprise as the VA had once again not reviewed my actual paperwork submitted. Stephanie stayed on top of things and explained what a Higher level review might look like, reassuring me to trust the process. Fast forward a few months later I received the positive outcome we had longed for. Forever grateful for Stephanie and the team.

I cannot say enough good things about the outstanding service I received from Tony. From day one,…read morehe was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping me navigate the complex VA disability process. Thanks to his expertise and relentless commitment, I was granted 100% Permanent and Total disability in lightning speed--something I never thought possible!!! He handled every detail with care, kept me informed throughout, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. What stood out the most was how much he genuinely cared--not just about the case, but about me as a person and a veteran. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you, guide you with confidence, and get results fast, Tony is the one you want by your side. I'm beyond grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any fellow veteran seeking VA benefits.

The guys at the OC Vet Cent. are great people. My reasoning​ for a low score is​ appointments​ and…read morethe front desk. It is very difficult to have consistency​ in your therapy​ when appointments​ are so limited with your counselor​. If you are a working individual or a student it makes it even more complicated. The guys at the front desk are polite and nice, but terrible at relaying​ messages; therefore is impossible to communicate directly with your counselor​ since you cannot have their email nor their direct line. I know these​ guys are overworked; they keep taking clients under very low staffing. I know low staffing is out​ of their control, but accepting more clients when they cannot keep up​ with the ones they have is not OK. I felt obligated to quit​ after having such a difficult time booking the ​appointment​​s and delaying my therapy; at times I felt worst having to relive it and dealing with it for two or three weeks until my next appointment​. I always felt in a rush, and not enough time to deal with all the mess in my head. They say many things that they cannot keep. Therefore, I felt, though their intentions might be honorable; they were more damaging​ to me than helpful​. But remember, everyone's experience is different.​

Tables on one side of the room, bar on the other, dance floor/stage in between. Our friend's band was playing at the VFW (a gig's a gig, right?), so we thought we'd check it out. Upon entering we quickly realized that we were easily two of the youngest people in the place - awesome! Everybody was so nice and welcoming. We were made to feel comfortable right away. For a requested $5 donation we could've enjoyed a pork roast dinner with mashed potatoes and all the fixin's. We opted not to, but it looked delicious. Homemade for sure Drinks were incredibly cheap! $3.50 for a bottle of Pacifico or a Bud Seltzer. Trish was our outstanding, super friendly bartender. We loved Trish! Good times aboard The Ship.

I wish I could have met JD Mullen of the Veterans Benefits Consulting Group a long time ago. For…read moreten years, I had gone back and forth with the Veteran Administration to consider my 'during service' emotional and physical scars- to no avail. It seemed as if I served and once I no longer wore the uniform, no one cared. I will not go into the damage on this platform but I will say, the services that the Veteran Benefits Consulting Group provided, garnered me my just reward. JD was attentive, personable, professional, and he knew what the hell he was doing! He spoke the VA language and navigated the weird and wonky disability rating matrices. Let's just say it took him less than 90 days to achieve the results I labored 10 years trying to achieve. Oh! Vets - don't be sticker shocked either because I'd take $0 property taxes over his one time fee any day. Make the call and get what you deserve.

I am a Veteran and wanted to share my experience with this consulting group. While they did help…read moreincrease my disability rating from 30% to 90% (a $1,760 monthly increase), they charged me over $6,500 for their services. After two failed attempts by JD to reach 100%, I decided to leave and hire a lawyer instead. I went to Vet Law, which has excellent reviews, and within four months I reached 100% disability (a $1,589 monthly increase). Their fee was $1,012 -- far more reasonable, and the process felt professional and straightforward. Based on this comparison, I believe Veterans Benefits Consulting Group charges excessive fees and does not provide fair value for the cost. Although I did receive an increase, I do not feel their billing system is ethical or fair. I want other Veterans to be fully informed before committing, as there are better options available.
