As always the food was the epitome of fast and tasty Teriyaki/Japanese food…read more We were the first customers of the day. It didn't take long before there was a line behind us. My husband I both ordered the Chicken/Beef Teriyaki combination. The proteins were chopped up fine, crispy and plenty of it. We both had the noodles. My husband ate the ENTIRE meal before we left the restaurant. It comes all wrapped and ready to go. If you want to sit there, you're good to go. I had mine for 3 separate meals. For the $12.00 price, such a deal ! BTW, this is a small little spot in a busy shopping mall. Maybe 10 small tables. Not a place to bring a big family unless you all carry the boxes out to the car !

Fried rice tastes like school quality lunches…read more Orange chicken I'll admit taste pretty good. Has a very subtle crunch, like VERY SUBTLE, tastes good, has a nice chew. But I could buy one from the frozen section in Safeway and make better orange chicken thats also more cost effective The amount was surprising. He asked me for my entree, told me my options, I just said fried rice, I didnt know you could pick 2 entrees. (On the receipt, it said 1/2 fried rice + 1/2 fried rice). He gave me a lot of fried rice and when I said orange chicken, he gave me so little I had a physical reaction. I think my face tweaked a bit seeing how little orange chicken he added (I was under the impression that panda express would overflow your bowls so much that they cant even close it). Probably more worth to buy a plate, I think thats when they overflow it, but who knows, maybe its inflation again. Lots of workers, I was surprised, the moment I walked in, there were like a group of 6 all hovering next to the food section. The worker I had was very good, he was quick and my order went pretty smooth for my first time at panda express He asked me if I wanted any drinks, I said water, asked me if I wanted any sauces, theres soy sauce, hot sauce, I said hot sauce, he also asked if I wanted a to go bag, I said yes, the fortune cookie came without needing to say anything. I was surprised how comfortable the chairs were, they got pads. Also since no one provided the menu, I took some pics of the menu

On certain days I go, food is steaming and high quality and comes out in what seems like half a minute. On others, there is a long wait, and it comes out cold or some items are missing from my bag, meaning I have to go inside and show the receipt in order for them to fix the issue. Some advice, check the bag immediately after it's handed to you. I must mention that the drive-thru is my preferred method of ordering. The last time I ordered inside was a long time ago. Ambiance inside is your typical Jack in the Box. Roomy dining room with the standard advertising, and you hear the employees' dialogs with customers, as is typical in any fast-food establishment.

I'm not sure if they changed their fries or how they fry them or what they fry them in, but it would be great to know that info. I think the Burger in Habit Burger has not been prioritized and the regular charburger seems to have dropped in quality. The sandwich with chicken, avocado, and bacon was good. They have also started handing the payment slider to people in the drive thru, with the first screen asking the customer to tip. This is the first time I have experienced it at Habit, and I don't know if it is a new policy, but I will be taking my business elsewhere. People can tip inside, but this is a bad policy to have every business CEO ask the customer to pay the living wages of their employees. CEOs can redistribute their own salary to the frontline workers. An order of fried tempura green beans and a charburger with no cheese was just under $13. The green beans were great. I think the charburger can use some attention at that price.

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

I finally got a chance to check out Raising Cane's in Chico, and I gotta say--it's a whole…read moreexperience. If you're looking for a quiet sit-down meal, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you like fast service, crispy chicken, and a high-energy vibe, you'll probably love it. First Impressions: It's Loud, But It Works The first thing I noticed walking in? The noise. Between the background music, the crew calling out orders, and customers chatting, the place is bustling. But weirdly enough, it works. Even though it sounds chaotic, the team has a system down. Orders are being called, food is flying out fast, and everyone's moving like they know exactly what they're doing. Oh, and then there's the disco balls. Yes, you read that right--three disco balls hanging from the ceiling. It kind of gives the place a fun, nightclub feel, which adds to the whole energetic atmosphere. The Food: Simple, Fresh, and Filling I went with the Three Finger Combo, which comes with: Three crispy, golden-brown chicken fingers A side of crinkle-cut fries A buttery slice of Texas toast Cane's signature dipping sauce A drink The chicken? Hot, fresh, and not dry at all. You get solid white meat with a nice crunch on the outside. The Cane's Sauce? Definitely the star--it's got that tangy, slightly peppery kick that just works. And between the chicken, fries, toast, and drink, you're definitely leaving full. For $11-$12, I'd say you're getting your money's worth. Service: Fast & Efficient One thing Raising Cane's does really well? Speed. They even have people outside taking orders to keep the drive-thru moving. And when they're not serving food, the crew is constantly cleaning tables--not just wiping them down but actually disinfecting them, which is nice to see. A Nice Bonus: Discounts & EV Charging One thing that really stood out to me? They offer a senior and military discount. With prices going up everywhere, it's cool to see a place still showing some appreciation for seniors and veterans. Another surprise--Blink charging stations outside for electric vehicles. That's a smart move, making it easy for EV drivers to grab a meal while charging up. Final Thoughts Raising Cane's is one of those high-energy, fast-paced spots that's probably going to be a hit, especially with younger crowds. It's loud, but fun, and the food is fresh, simple, and satisfying. If you're looking for a quiet meal, this ain't it--but if you want fast service, good chicken, and a lively vibe, it's definitely worth checking out.

I will say something positive about this Taco Bell, but first let me give some brutal truth -- it's…read morethe worst Taco Bell I've ever been to three times in a row. DO NOT order in the lobby at a kiosk... the entire staff doesn't know how to interact with humans. I've been to businesses where the customer service counter was literally run by people with "special needs" and they were more efficient, I'm not joking. Because I'm not an Evil Person, I don't wish for the staff or managers to get fired or the restaurant to be shut down, but for the Love of Fast Food Decency: be better! My positive pro tip: you'll have way better success going through the drive thru in your car. They may still mess something up, but it's very clear that the priority is window orders and not interacting with humans in the lobby. I just ordered one of their blended drinks at the kiosk today and it took over 10 minutes to get it and I had to speak to three different employees and everyone of them looked at me like I was speaking mandarin and trying to teach them advanced calculus. The good news is, there is no way it can get any worse.

The name pretty much tells you exactly what you're getting, and thankfully they're really good at both. The burgers are the main event. Big, messy in the way a good burger is supposed to be, and actually worth being hungry for. There are enough options that you can switch it up every time, although I usually end up staring at the menu for way too long just to order something similar to what I always get anyway. The fries are great alongside it, and obviously having a good beer with everything doesn't exactly hurt. The atmosphere is another reason I like this place. It's lively and casual without feeling like they're trying too hard to manufacture a "cool" restaurant. You can come in with friends, grab a burger and a beer, hang out for a while, and nobody is rushing you out the door. Service has always been friendly and pretty on top of things, even when they're busy. And considering how packed places like this can get, that deserves some credit. It's definitely not an everyday kind of meal unless you're trying to personally keep the beef industry afloat, but when you're craving a real burger, Burgers and Brew is hard to argue with. Five stars and absolutely worth coming back to.
