    Burger and sandwich menu
    Rachel C.

    I think it depends on your personal preference. My husband ordered the classic burger with just ketchup, mustard, meat, onion, and tomato. He didn't really care for his burger and said it made him have a "stinky visit" to the bathroom if you know what I mean. I, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed my delicious avocado burger with ketchup, meat, cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I give it 4 stars because I asked for a chocolate Oreo "Cali Swirl" (blizzard) and got vanilla and it was not mixed, blended or "swirled". However the thick vanilla ice cream was delicious along with the crushed Oreos on top.

    As it's Christmas Day, we appreciate you guys being open and feeding us that don't feel like cooking today. Thank you for allowing me to go inside the building when the inside was closed to the public. My truck doesn't fit through the drive through. The workers are all great even if they are slammed with work. Haven't tried the food but definitely smells delicious from where I'm sitting. We will be back soon.

    Large portions of fries, generously topped burgers, and many options. Picked the avocado burger and it had many slices of avocado and fresh tomato slice, pickles, and shredded lettuce. Asked for 10 pieces of chicken nuggets and were able to split them amongst my kids. The service was great and quick. Definitely a place to come back to and

Last year I made a large reservation for about 10 ladies to celebrate someone and on the way to the restaurant they called to confirm the reservation (about 30 minutes before), but I did not hear my phone. When I arrived, a distraught friend told me that they did not have our reservation so I asked what the issue was. The manager told me because I did not confirm, they were not sure they were going to hold the table. I apologized that I had not recieved a call, but asked if we could still have the table (I was there on time and could see the large table with the reservation note on it). The manager begrungenly said they would allow us to still dine with them, but they said they would not seat us until more of our party arrived. I asked if we could wait for our party at the bar, but they said they would not because every seat at the bar was taken. So just a heads up, you cannot stand at the bar, you cannot stand around the restaurant, and they do not have a place to sit and wait for your table, you just have to stand outside (I'm sure it has to do with safety or firecodes, I didn't argue, we waited outside until people at the bar left). Once we were seated, the staff was not friendly. Wondering if we should leave or not, I called a friend who works near the building who frequents this place often on what I should do. He told me to go back inside and that the staff would be nice. When I returned, a new server came to our table with a tray of shots and said they would be taking care of us for the rest of the evening. I figured maybe the manager and that other server was just having a bad day, my friend must have called the restaurant and asked his most trusted server to help us, and enjoyed the rest of our evening. I didn't want to risk it another bad experience, so I haven't returned since. A few months ago during the whole Cesar Chavez news broke out, that friend who frequented the place went with another friend to the Botonist and was talking about the news while they were dining. The manager overheard. Later when my friends were getting ready to leave, the manager started becoming upset with my friends and told my guy friend, "I HOPE SOMEBODY R*PES YOU". Stunned, he asked her to repeat herself and she did. My friends left. The chefs and building are wonderful, but obviously something needs to be done about the management and staff with being professional and treating customers with respect. I've worked in the service industry and understand how stressful it can be, but I have always been able to keep my cool around people who are trying to enjoy a nice meal. Hoping they recieve the help they need as I love to see my community thrive.

There are a lot of tables and seating between the two rooms inside and the completely shaded outdoor patio, it doesn't look as big from the outside as it truly is. The decor is really nice and earthy with tons of real vine plants, a mix of fake, cute mirrors and wall decor, and cool basket lighting. We went at the tail-end of lunch, and it was busy, but there were still a few tables open (I recommend making reservations). I ordered a raspberry drop (not overly sweet so I loved it) and my son ordered a triple berry hibiscus refresher, it was so good! For lunch, he ordered the garlic+parmesan cream pasta with chicken and not only was it scrumptious, but he had enough leftovers for another meal! I had the fish tacos- they were excellent, the pickled onions on top *chef's kiss* made them superb. I would only recommend asking for the tortillas to be doubled because they fell apart. The I'll be returning for sure with friends, and a date night with my hubby.
