    Chicken and waffles
    Isabelle V.

    This review is long overdue, as I've been coming here since 2015 and it has consistently remained a local favorite for a breakfast that never misses. The staff is always very friendly, the food is solid, and the prices are fair, typically ranging from $9 to $18 per plate. On my most recent visit, we had the chicken and waffles, loco moco, and beignets. While the vanilla beignets are my personal favorite and the chicken was perfectly crispy, the real stars of the show were the waffles--they were incredibly crispy, sweet, and soft.

    Don't be surprised if there's a line waiting to get in. Very popular among the locals but they offer something for everyone. The food is fresh and served quickly. A relaxing interior feels cozy. From basic breakfast to specialty dishes you can't go wrong.

    Beignet
    Sherica G.

    Humble restaurant with good food. I have been here before and have tried a few of their breakfast. In this visit, we bought beignet as niece was craving. It was satisfying. Crisps on the outside and warm and soft on the inside.

    Cute local brunch spot! Came for a birthday party and they accommodated our group of 8 on a Sunday. Staff is attentive, cozy and homey feel. Well-maintained restaurant. Affordable pricing for delicious food! Got the chicken & waffles and country fried steak lunch. CHICKEN & WAFFLES: really great waffles. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Fried chicken was not too dry and was flavorful COUNTRY FRIED STEAK LUNCH: the gravy is a bit salty but the salad balanced it out well. The salad dressing was a basic olive oil balsamic vinaigrette. The fries were thin and crispy My boyfriend and I got there early and ordered a mimosa for the birthday girl, which our waitress told us to just give us a signal and she would bring out. Our waitress was kind enough to also bring out some treats for the birthday girl: dessert beignets! Would recommend!!

    People say that it's a hidden gem, which is quite true because it's hard to find the location of the spot and not many people seem to know this place unless they tell their friends about it. The place looks really small, crowded, and decorative inside but if you walk more towards the back, there's probably more seatings. I honestly expect this place to be packed where I have to wait for more than 20 minutes, but again, it doesn't really seem to receive a lot of attention. Honestly, the food is good and portion size is neither too small nor big. Usually, some restaurants serve bigger portions. At least I didn't get full though and save my stomach for lunch. I was quite surprised when the pancake combo is $11 ($9 before 9am) while three-stack is $12.50. Price is quite reasonable due to portion size. The issue is when I needed my change after paying for the meal. I guess that either the staff forgot about it or some miscommunication. Not sure though, but they seem to be very busy, which I understand. I was expecting them to get it as soon as I pay for it, but went straight to doing other tasks.

    Crab Cake Benedict
    Kerry R.

    You really can't go wrong starting with some warm beignets, soo good! I had the crab cake Benedict, and as a bit of a Benedict connoisseur, I loved it. It was delicious! I also love that you have the option of either a side of rice or potatoes. I opted for the potatoes this time. It had been years since we last ate here, but we'll definitely be back much sooner this time.

    Chicken & Waffles, Korean Barbeque Lunch Special Bow and Chocolate 5 Piece Beignets
    Cathy D.

    This used to be my goto breakfast place back when I lived in the Bay. The staff is always very nice and accommodating. Giving out recommendations and small talk. My favorite goto items is the chicken and waffles and their Beef Korean Bowl. The korean bowl comes with veggies, rice and rhe meat. They also give you their own type of bibimbap sauce. Which gives a whole other level of flavors. Also, their serving sizes are good and fillings. Today I tried their chocolate beignets for the first time. And they were pretty good. But I think next time I'll stick to the Vanilla flavor.

    Eggs Benedict Chicken & Waffles

    This place is a Union City staple. Known for their Beignets and them being small business has helped it uped its traffic. I think place is nice, small but a great breakfast place. Priced are good compared to other places. Ambiance is feels cozy like they put their personality into it. What I got : Eggs Benedict 4/5 Beignets : 4/5 Garlic fries 5/5 Chicken and Waffles 4/5 Eggs Benedict has 2 muffins, 3 eggs, and 3 Canadian Bacon, served with potatoes. I thought it was good but I felt like the potatoes could of been more crispy Beignets were nice but felt like they could of been more fluffy. We did it with a drizzle with both chocolate sauce and vanilla sauce. Garlic fries were really good, lots of garlic and nice and crispy My friend got the chicken and Waffles. Both were nice and crispy.

    Such a gem of a small, family-run business! My husband and I stopped by Break Your Fast on a whim while exploring new local spots, and we're so glad we did. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and you can tell they put a lot of care into what they do. While the beignets weren't quite the traditional fluffy style I expected--they leaned more biscuit-like in texture--they were still tasty. If you try them, definitely go for the homemade vanilla sauce--it's rich, creamy, and pulls it all together. My favorite, though, was the fruit cup. I'm usually not into melon-heavy mixes, so I was thrilled to see one full of fresh berries instead. It was refreshing and felt like a step above your typical fruit side. If you're looking to support a passionate local team and enjoy some creative, comforting breakfast bites, Break Your Fast is absolutely worth the visit.

    I had the country breakfast! It was very tasty!

I was here for an art show last night, but honestly? The food ended up being the masterpiece. We essentially tried to defeat the menu and the menu won. 10/10, no notes. The Highlights: Hawaiian Sliders: Absolutely bomb. The perfect balance of sweet and savory. I'm still thinking about them 24 hours later. Crispy Quesatacos with Chicken Tinga: Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. It's hard to find chicken Tinga in a crispy Quesataco this authentic in a pop-up setting, but they nailed it flavor bomb Pupusas & Tacos: My friend and I went in on these and they did not disappoint.

    Josephine Southern Cuisine - fried chicken combo with mac and cheese, yams, and cornbread

    Josephine Southern Cuisine

    4.5(49 reviews)
    6.8 mi

    4 1/2 -- Fresh, Home-Style Soul Food and Definitely Worth Trying- rounded up on Yelp …read more I stopped by Josephine Southern Cuisine for lunch today around 1:30 PM. They're currently operating as a pop-up inside the Star Catering & Cafe location at 1202 W. Winton Ave in Hayward. It's in the Winton Avenue area of Hayward, near the commercial and industrial side of town, and there is plenty of parking, which made it very easy to stop in. I was actually expecting a much bigger crowd, but the restaurant was pretty quiet with light traffic inside, so ordering was simple. They had a $30 plate that included fried chicken, greens, yams, and cornbread. I didn't notice until after I ordered that extra chicken was an additional $10 and mac & cheese was $9, so I added the mac & cheese separately. For two plates, tax, and tip, our total came to about $76. The fried chicken was the highlight. It was extremely crispy, hot and fresh -- not spicy hot, but clearly just out of the fryer. I had read that the food is cooked to order, and that definitely seemed to be the case. There was a slight wait, but I would much rather wait a little for food that is fresh than have something sitting under a warmer. The greens were perfectly seasoned. Personally, I like mine with a little more heat, but I understand they're cooking for everybody, not just my taste buds. The seasoning was still very good. The yams were excellent -- just the right amount of sweetness and honestly reminded me of the kind my grandmother used to make. The blueberry cornbread surprised me in a good way. I was expecting it to be overly sweet, but it wasn't at all. It had just the right amount of sweetness, was moist, and was very well cooked. The mac & cheese had a good texture, was cheesy, and had plenty of flavor. I personally prefer mine a little cheesier and more like the baked mac & cheese I grew up with. I did notice some oil at the bottom of the container, so that was probably the one food item I liked slightly less than everything else, but it was still good. We decided to dine in, even though the food was packaged to go. They do have tables and seating inside. The dining area was simple and functional, but I think the atmosphere could use a little upgrading. The floor in particular didn't look especially clean to me, although that may have been partly because of the type or age of the flooring. A little more décor, a more polished dining area, and a few more beverage options would elevate the experience, especially at this price point. The portions were good, although I did feel the meal was a little pricey for the serving size. That said, the food tasted fresh, homemade, and well prepared, so I still felt good about the experience. They told me the menu changes depending on the day, which actually makes me want to come back. I'm especially curious to catch them on a day when they have oxtails and try some of their other dishes. Overall, this was a very good first experience and I would definitely return. I'd give the food itself close to 5 stars and the overall experience about 4 1/2 stars, with the half-star deduction mostly for the dining-room ambience and value for the portion size. If you're looking for good soul food in Hayward, look for Josephine Southern Cuisine at the Star Catering & Cafe location on W. Winton Ave. There's plenty of parking, the food is cooked fresh, and it's definitely worth giving them a try.

I only waited about 5 minutes for my order, and headed home. About 15 minutes later, I opened that container and my food was STILL HOT! Now let's talk about the food... The fried chicken: Crispy, well-seasoned, and still had that crunch after the ride home. YES! The greens: YUM! Flavorful and cooked just right. The yams: Good, but a little sweeter than I prefer. I like my yams with a little less sugar. The blueberry cornbread: Now this was an unexpected treat! Good and definitely worth trying. Overall, Josephine Soul Food gets a BIG thumbs up from me! I'll definitely be going back. And next time, I'm coming for that macaroni and cheese because I need to see what they're working with! Josephine Soul Food is definitely a GO!

I came with a party of 10.5, .5 was our niece and had preordered a large thin pizza Blanca, large stuffed Zachary's special and a small thin cheese pizza. With the Blanca, definitely squeeze the lemon wedge over the pizza before devouring! The cheese pizza was a hit with our nephew. We could've ordered another Blanca instead of the special. There were large chunks of bell peppers and onions under the red sauce that could've been sliced thinner. We had this boxed with over half remaining. In addition to the pizzas, we also added roasted cauliflower, wings, and the meatballs. Both their Buffalo and BBQ wings were fully sauced. Maybe instead of their ranch, will consider asking for more of the applicable sauce. Meatballs were drowned in what appeared and tasted like the same red sauce in the special pizza.. Which now makes sense because both have Zachary in their menu name. These were also boxed up. Roasted cauliflower was well seasoned and a good balance between all the red sauce. Our original server clocked out and a new server took over- that's the story the gentleman/new server shared with us. Awkward. Even at Olive Garden, the server has taken the initiative to tell us of a server change.

Food ordered: Yucca fries on the house! 1. Plantano Fritas (4/5) I love a plantains and these were delicious and less oily than other which I appreciate! Personal preference is a I prefer a little more sweetly caramelized plantains, but I did really enjoy this. The dish comes with a white creamy sauce and a refried bean dip - both yummy and not overpowering in flavor. Papusas: Lots of flavors to choose from! And in general, for all the papusas, the papusa batter is wonderful and the porportion of filling to papusa is perfect. 2a. Calabaza Papusa - mixed cheese + zuchinni (4/5) This was the most cheesey papusa, where the cheese was the heavy lifter. I enjoyed it and every bite had a nice cheese pull too it. I would have liked to see a little more zucchini green, and for it to add to the textures. 2b. Frijol y Queso Papusa - mixed cheese + refried beans (5/5) My favorite! Can't go wrong with a bean and cheese papusa and this was so so good. I recommend this classic pairing of flavors anywhere. I was thinking about this papusa for days. 2c. Chicken Papusa - mixed cheese + chicken (5/5) This was also really good. the chicken is mixed in with the cheese, so every bite has both, which was nice. There was also a lovely seasoning which balanced all the flavors beautifully. 3. Churros: This usually comes with vanilla ice cream, and the server warned us they didn't have any in stock. We were fine with that because we love churros. When we were complete with our papusas, they served us our churros and surprised with apple slices instead of ice cream which was a lovely touch. Parking: There is no designated parking lot that we have found, but the public 2 hour parking lot 2 blocks over on Second Ave! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Comalito. The hardest hurdle is parking, but once you find the public parking lot a couple of blocks over, it was easy to find and gives you a little exercise before you eat!

I also got a side order of carne asada. All the food was good. Everything was full of flavor. The carne asada was tender. The pupusas had the perfect mix beans and cheese, with the masa being light and fluffy. The casamiento with a great mix of rice and beans. The only negative was the curtido. It was ok. Somewhat soggy and not very crisp. Also, lacked any flavor. It's a small thing, but otherwise the dinner was 5 stars.
