My favorites are the KILLER HOT and the SHARKY'S salsas. Their AVOCADO salsa is also very tasty. GO-TO FAVES include the Grilled Fish Taco on a corn tortilla. Seasoned and grilled to perfection on a regular basis. I get mine with no Pico de Gallo as I like to layer on some very hot salsa instead (KILLER HOT) and I get it without the cheese to keep it lower in fat and calories. NEVER disappoints. Their Nachos are a treat when I'm breaking my diet. :) Shrimp Tacos are really good as are the protein plates which can be customized and are a very healthy, well-prepared meal every time. You order at the counter -- and a nice touch is they ask if you want chips while you wait. Their water is also a nice touch -- it's got lemon, cucumber, etc. in the water which gives it a refreshing spa-like feel. They also have really good iced tea. You grab your own beverages and I highly recommend both the water (free!!) and the iced tea. The staff here is wonderful -- an active management team that works the floor, checks in on guests, and generally just makes everyone feel welcome, along with the hard-working kitchen team and the young team that takes the orders and puts together the take-away options. They are a smooth-running, very friendly and kind operation there. I love Sharky's. I grew up in this area and remember when it was Twain's. Sharky''s is a great addition to the area - good, solid Mexican food with plenty of healthy options. Something for anyone in your group here.

I genuinely thought it was impossible to ruin a hotdog, but what I got after a 15 min wait is what you see on my photo. The bun was completely wet and falling apart, the hot dog itself was very small. I had to walk up to the kitchen and ask them for just a fresh bun so I could eat my hotdog. I also paid almost $9 for it:( With that being said, the vibe is fun, good for a tourist attraction, no shade to the workers. Toast the buns :)

Ventured into Hi Ho at the height of Friday dinner time, when the whole Sportsmen's Lodge shopping…read more& dining nook was packed with people, including at least 75 kids under the age of 6. Yowza! Luckily, Hi Ho wasn't quite as busy as the pizza and ice cream shops, but there were still quite a few folks, and the staff did manage to tend to everyone nicely. If you haven't been, Hi Ho is a simple, fast food burger joint in terms of decor, but the menu (from the same people who own Matu) is a small, curated selection of very high quality options: mostly Wagyu burgers in a few different configurations, and chicken tenders + some very good, hand cut fries. This time I opted for the Pastrami Heat, a double cheeseburger fortified with spicy grilled onions and a not-too-large topper of Wagyu pastrami. I don't usually go for such an elaborate burger, but I just had a hankering. And while I won't say the burger was small, it was not as ridiculously enormous as you might get other places. The double patties were juicy and flavorful, nicely seasoned and coated in properly melted American cheese. The spicy grilled onions did pack a nice punch, but there weren't a lot of them, so their effect was minimal (definitely could use more of those). House-made pickles were pleasingly artisan, with a layered, briny flavor far more enjoyable than the commercial dill chips usually deployed. Finally, the Wagyu pastrami was really quite good. Marbled and juicy without be too fatty or too rich, thinly shaved and portioned just large enough to make its presence known without becoming unwelcome halfway through. Though decadent for sure, this was an enjoyable treat that was only about 50% guilt-inducing. Fries were fresh, hot, crispy and well done, cooked in beef tallow. Also a treat. Prices are in line with what you're paying at other fast casual burger places like Five Guys or Burger Lounge, but the quality here is definitely a step above, so you could almost say it's a deal. Of course, if you also stop into neighboring Erewhon for a smoothie, your budget will be blown.

Nixon was there to make our first time at Five Guys a great experience. He answered it all. He had a good laugh with us. He recommended things from their menu. Hey, those guys made it so this Five Guys is a destination on my girl and I's cheat-days. The meal was a 10/10! Service, location, price, and parking was A+.

I have been here three times now and figured I should share my thoughts. I don't know why there's…read morealways comparisons between this place and In n Out because for me there is no competition. In n Out will always be #1 for me, but Five Guys is decent. The place is pretty big and roomy for a burger spot and very brightly lit. There's an open kitchen and everything is made fresh to order. I got a Double Cheeseburger with fries and drink and it was over $20. Way too expensive in my opinion. My burger was not awful but it wasn't amazing. I feel like it was just too messy and drowning in sauce/mayo, overpowering the taste of the meat, which wasn't cooked all the way. I like my burger patties cooked well done. Since it was drenched in sauce, the bread was getting soggy and falling apart as I ate it. The fries were also decent but not as crispy as I like. The customer service was great and every employee I had contact with was very nice and professional. The business is in the Coldwater/Ventura shopping plaza and has outdoor/underground parking shared with other businesses. The space was somewhat clean. I don't know if I'll be back for a fourth time.

The outside patio and inside dining areas were very clean. You place your order on a computer and take a number, whether dining in or taking out. My only interaction with the staff was them bringing out my order, but my "server" was very pleasant. I tried the French Onion 'Shroom Burger. The portobello was thick and "meaty". The caramelized onions were too sweet and overwhelming for me. Might be better with less. The Parmesan Garlic Fries were disappointing. They're expensive, and the parm was tasteless.
