    Tiny portion of chicken, dry bland rice. Will not return.

    Big problems in the kitchen here very unprofessional. I saw a woman eating food over the cooking counter, where my cooked food was being put together and then when I confronted the male worker about it and asked, why is she eating over my food in the kitchen? He said she wasn't eating but then I told him I saw her put food 3 times in her. Mouth and he said, oh don't worry, that was just berries that she's eating back here. I don't think I'll be back. I think the hygiene in this place is very questionable.

    Mediterranean Veggie Plate

    Seems like a small owner-operated business. Person working was nice and welcoming. Probably the best tasting falafel I've had; it was perfectly cooked and had good flavor/spices. Everything on the plate was delicious and complementary. Portion-wise, I would've preferred a few more falafels, even if that meant the price was higher. There was a lot of table seating instead and there's outdoor tables as well. As it is operated by a single person, at least when I visited, the wait can be a bit long even when there wasn't more than a couple other customers. While you may not be able to be in and out quickly, the food seems like it's made to order and very good!

    Chicken Shawarma

    We are driving through town on our way home and looking for somewhere to stop for dinner late on a Sunday night. We walked in and met the entire family that was in the restaurant working. Such kind and welcoming people, made you feel like you were at their home. We ordered a kebab plate, pastrami burger, and a chicken shawarma. Got a side of hummus and cheesecake and baklava for dessert. Everything was amazing. It was all perfectly cooked to order. 10 out of 10. Even the lemonade that my son ordered was fresh made. We'll definitely be back the next time we're driving through town. It's a must visit.

    Great experience eating at First Bite. It's a family run establishment that guided me through their menu and gave me their recommendations from what they like and what they like the least. Wally, the owners son, was awesome to talk with. He is very enthusiastic about his family business. They chicken shwarma that I was recommended was 10/10. Absolutely the best post dirt biking meal I could asked for. I will be going there every time I go up there to the motocross tracks near there. 10/10 experience. Food 10/10. And will 10/10 recommend them. The inside had a great diner vibe.

    Bustrami w/ Fries - Succulent burger topped with grilled pastrami and swiss cheese, served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and mayo

    If you're looking for amazing food and genuine hospitality, First Bite is a must-try! I ordered the pastrami burger, and it was hands down one of the best I've had--juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My wife had the chicken shawarma with mint tea, and she couldn't stop talking about how fresh and delicious everything was. What really makes this place special is the owner. He's incredibly friendly and welcoming--the kind of person who makes you feel like you're being taken care of by everyone's dad. You can tell this is a family business that takes pride in both the food and the people they serve. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving First Bite a try!

    Chicken wrap with hummus instead of fries

    Passing through on our way back home to the Bay Area, looked on Yelp and discovered this gem. The chicken shawarma plate was delicious. I don't eat rice they offered to give me extra grilled vegetables which were seasoned and grilled perfectly. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor and the hummus was creamy deliciousness. My husband ordered a wrap and loved it, it was the first time he's had it presented this way. If we lived here we'd be regulars

    Amazing food! Owner was very kind. Great options of authentic Middle Eastern food. Large space to dine in with clean tables. Will definitely eat here again!

    Ended up having lunch here for my birthday with several colleagues from work. I was given the power to cast the deciding vote, and between Sutter buttes brewery and First bite, the Mediterranean option sounded more appealing. The restaurant is located within a shopping center, so finding the location was easy. The owner was working alone, appearing to be a one-man army. I decided to order a vegetarian plate and a beef kabob plate as appetizers and a lamb wrap as my main course. My colleagues all fell in love with the idea of a chicken shawarma... The food took some time to arrive but was clearly freshly made and tasted fantastic. The hummus was smooth, the falafels were crunchy and the shawarmas were flavorful. The grilled veggies were simply amazing. The silverware provided was small, individually wrapped disposable plastic, and I had to play the role of a freelance server by asking for additional plates. As more customers arrived, it seemed that the owner's spouse and young son stepped in to help. I clearly see a 5 star rating on the restaurant, however i am not one to easily give out 5 stars; this restaurant certainly does not come close to fine dining, The food tasted great, and if the rating was on the taste alone, i would rate a 4.5/5 stars. When factoring the totality of the experience, I see 4 stars as an honest and justified rating. As someone who grew up eating middle eastern cuisine on a regular basis, I can tell you that this food was cooked from the heart. Definitely give the restaurant a try, just allocate some extra time in case they are busy.

    Beef & Lamb Combo Kebab plate

    Hey Neighbors! Just wanted to share an awesome Mediterranean Restaurant called First Bite on N Beale Rd. Part of me wanted to gate keep this gem, but the better ethical part of me wanted to share this place and help share their amazing food and business. Hole in the wall, great food! Seriously a master of his craft. Be extra patient, as he typically works alone. I recommend ordering the Beef & Lamb kebab plate. Comes with generous amount of food: hummus, rice, and roasted vegetables.

They are a bit hidden but have a huge sign that says "bakery" outside their door. I decided to try it out and I'm glad I did! I was sweetly surprised when I saw that they serve Camellia Coffee Roasters (a Sacramento gem), so I ordered the horchata cold brew. It didn't taste like the one that is served at Camellia, but it was still tasty! I also got an almond muffin which was affordably priced and delicious. I do wish it had less sugar on top, I ended up scraping a lot of the sugar off. They have lots of food to choose from, so I look forward to trying other options. They have street parking right outside their door. Inside there is plenty of comfy seating, a tv, and detailed decor. It's a nice spot for those looking to work or study. Definitely a charming Marysville spot!

I ordered an iced butterbeer latte and it was AMAZING! In terms of service, we arrived when they first opened. There was only one barista working, and he did warn us because it was only him it would be a little long so to be patient. It did take us a while to get our food and drinks. But honestly so worth it!

We were given the excuse that they stopped selling them (milkshakes) after COVID (the COVID excuse left the station years ago). A place of business is only as good as the employees and the young man who served us really didn't want to be there and acted as if he was doing us a favor. The place was empty when we arrived but our son insisted he had been there years ago and it was worth a try. Big mistake!!! Telling a obvious lie (that the bathroom is out of order) to customers is extremely rude and insulting, state law requires employers to have bathroom facilities for employees - so rather than insult the public just say you don't allow customers to use the bathroom. Hard to imagine how they stay in business given the fact that they also didn't have many of the flavors listed on the menu and to top it all off the ice cream they did have was not very high quality. 31 flavors is located across the street go there and avoid a very unpleasant experience.
