    fries
    Kevin C.

    Went to pick up food on the way home from a race. It was busy, so had to park across the street. The ordering was fairly quick, but took quite a while to get the food - but they were busy. I ordered the Rokka Pollo and it was VERY tasty, The garlic, olive oil, and rosemary combo was great. The chicken was also tasty and juicy, but somewhat of a rubbery/chewy texture unfortunately. The fries, as always, were also tasty and well seasoned. However, I do like my fries crispy - and these are on the soggier end. (I usually throw them in the oven for like 5-10 minutes to get them crispy.

    The food is good and fresh... I got a salad and a taste of delicious It's a Walkup counter where you order and pick up your food right down the counter. It was quick service. The place has a music theme. It's clean and presentable.

    I recommend going to Big Anges Eatery. There food is awesome and so is the portioning size, it's the right amount and the customer service is awesome they are so friendly there. I give them 10 stars.

    Knowing this place would be busy on Father's Day, we decided to place a takeout order for later in the afternoon shortly after they opened at noon. We arrived around 2:15 pm, about 15 minutes before our pickup time, and the restaurant was still packed. The pickup process was a bit chaotic--the older woman helping customers initially told us that our order was completely sold out and asked us to wait off to the side. About 10 minutes later, a younger staff member checked our order again and let us know it would be ready shortly. Overall, the pickup experience was far from smooth, but the food made up for it. The prime brisket was easily one of the best I've had--tender, flavorful, and worth the hype. The sausage was equally impressive, incredibly juicy and probably the best sausage I've had at a barbecue spot. The ribs were tender as well, though the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Despite the holiday chaos, the quality of the food was outstanding. We'll definitely be back to try the sandwiches, though we'll probably avoid visiting on major holidays next time.

    You order at the counter and then wait for your name to be called. I ordered the ribs and coleslaw. I added the blackberry habanero hot sauce and it made the ribs even better. I regret not buying some of their hot sauce to go. Despite not having table service, the employees walked around the dining room and checked on everyone. After seeing what other diners ordered I definitely want to go back and try more. I didn't love the coleslaw but overall Ange's is still 5 stars.

    What a rip off! Ordered small beef, dipped hot, cheese fries and drink $24? If I would have ordered it through DoorDash I would have gotten the large beef for the same amount. Can't believe I got suckered to driving an hour for a sandwich that was gone in eight bites. When I brought it to the cashier's attention he said "that's what it is and why did I bring up DoorDash?" Won't bother with a return visit. Beef was decent but no heat and very little peppers for the extra buck. Fries were very soggy.

    Sandwich fill out my bag so

    I tried a restaurant near my house that serves a popular chicken sandwich called Rokko Pollo. I ordered two sandwiches for $41.05, which didn't include fries. The cashier accidentally gave me a bigger sandwich and charged me for it. When I asked them to cut the sandwich in half, the juices spilled and the sandwich fell out of my bag when I got home. Probably won't stop at this place again. No greeting or nothing. I really had high hopes for this place.

    We saw the Scratchboard Kitchen on tiktok and wanted to see what all the hype was about. How did it…read moreturn out, let's find out: Ambiance The Sratchboard kitchen has a bright and welcoming decor. The lighten in the place was warm. And the music seemed similar to a club beat but not obnoxiously loud. Service The service was great. Our server gave us some recommendations and the staff seemed pretty nice. The food itself did not take too long to come out. Also, when there was a mistake with one of the orders, it was taken care of without any issues. Food Fried potatoes This was a recommended side. The potatoes themselves were crispy with a fluffy middle. It came with a spicy mayo type of dipping sauce which tasted good other than the fact that dipping the potatoes in it did not really get that much sauce on them. I would recommend this side dish. French onion grilled cheese The French onion grilled cheese is a very tasty dish. It has the sweetness of the caramelized onion and nice cheese pull. It is a rich dish so eating cause food fatigue. We got it with bacon. It was good but not really necessary. Crispy chicken sandwich This is the chicken sandwich seen on tiktok. The cutlet is thick and it was fried with a light coating. The chicken sandwich was juicy. I think mine might have needed a little more seasoning (my own preference). Overall The scratchboard kitchen is a nice place to go and have a bite to eat. It has a nice array of food and drink options. I would recommend at least trying the food and enjoying the ambiance and service.

He called from the car on the way and was told 20min. He got there sooner than the 20min mark and she started bitching in Spanish !!! Saying , "Is this the guy for the soups? I told him 20min wtf is he doing here already ?" People should be very careful bc you never know who is in your restaurant, sorry honey he knows Spanish and replied in SPANISH , "It's ok I'll wait !" She looked at him like a deer in headlights and went to the back. He laughed it off but it was extremely rude , it's warming up soup lady it's not rocket science and the stove does all the work . If that's too hard for you , maybe you should find another job bc your lame attitude isn't professional or cute !!!

We ordered some drinks (no one got alcohol) and some appetizers. We got the Low Carb Yuka Fries and while that is not my bag, they were good. I was pleasantly surprised. We also had the roasted red pepper spread, which everyone enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich. I opted to removed the caramelized onions. The other person let them on. I also removed the garlic herb sauce but replaced it with a chimichurri sauce. That really kicked it up a notch and was good for dipping the fries in. They're fresh cut fries, so they were good on their own, but the chimichurri again kicked it up a notch. We also ordered the chicken bowl, the avocado salad, and the Greek style lamb chops. We all loved our food and were too full for dessert. It's a quaint little place, cozy for intimate conversation or a night out with family and friends. I think the night was made a little more fun when a couple came in and was seated at a counter height table and were making out all night. It was a lot and gratuitous. The table next to them were visibly uncomfortable and that made it all the more enjoyable to witness. Dinner and a show. Who knew?

There's also discrepancy in their menu and what they actually have available as it seems they also display items for the the cafe next door. We happened to arrive during happy hour so some menu items were discounted. They also have a complimentary salad bar. We ordered chicken karaage, potstickers, salmon avocado sushi, and I had the katsu sandwich. All the food items we ordered came separately over a span of 20+ minutes, with the sandwich arriving last and cold. Not only did the sandwich come on a cold sourdough bread, the meat also had an unusual texture and so I ended up throwing it out. The other items we ordered were lacking in flavor. The chicken karaage was prepared well but it had no flavor. I'm regret spending money at this establishment.

So we got out of the car and saw someone pull up in front of the restaurant and jump out at 11:59. As soon as the door was unlocked at 12pm, this customer went in, and a few others after them. This is a small joint, and it was already half full by the time we ordered, then sat down (they told us the table at which to sit). I didn't know, but asked, and found out that a salad bar and miso soup are also included. The salad bar was pretty decent, with fresh vegs. They even had French fried onions (my guilty pleasure) and a very good House dressing (ginger vinaigrette). The portions are enormous. The couple next to us got ramen, and it was practically overflowing. We ordered takoyaki (too much food, we didn't need). I had the Pork Katsu bowl and my companion had a Katsu curry. I wished I had ordered the curry -- it looked dark and rich and thick like pudding (not like a boxed curry). They also gave us a bonus piece of chicken karaage which was so large and crispy. I think I'll get the curry next time, or the ramen. We originally came because we were going to get a karaage sando, but get the curry.
