The food here is amazing and I enjoy coming here with friends and family…read more The restaurant is situated firmly in the middle of town, with may other attractions within walking distance. Service is always kind and timely. No rushing or making you feel unwelcome. VERY kind and attentive staff! The ambiance is ordinary, but very clean. There is a bench for people to sit while waiting on seating or their mobile orders. Payment is up front by the door, conveniently next to the display case of great baked items and pastries. If you haven't yet been here, then you haven't tasted what Brentwood has to offer!

I usually love the food that comes out of the kitchen at MJ's but today they weren't on the ball…read more I ordered hashbrowns extra crispy. They were crispy on the outside, but inside they were uncooked. I ordered the Italian sausage, onion, and green chili omelette. Unfortunately the sausage was tasteless and the green chilies don't seem like they were rinsed because they still had a briny taste. I had asked for cheddar to be inserted in the outlet, but unfortunately it came out without cheddar. I brought this to the attention of my server. She said I could take it back and have them put cheese on the top and melt it in the oven. I know it was a busy morning with the farmers market at all, but that shouldn't be a reason why the food quality that came out of the kitchen was like this. As always, the hostess the person that gave you the set up to the water and the waitress were all great.

We finally made it to Cap's in downtown Brentwood, and I honestly can't believe it took us this…read morelong to try it. It's definitely a hidden gem! We started with the crab cakes and Caesar salads. The crab cakes were a good size and came with a really tasty sauce. They weren't the best crab cakes I've ever had, they were still good but I don't know that I'd order them again. The Caesar salads were excellent. They were a generous size, the lettuce was crisp and fresh, and they didn't skimp on the fresh Parmesan cheese. For our entrees, I had the beef Wellington and my wife had the filet, both with garlic mashed potatoes. Both steaks were cooked absolutely perfectly and everything was delicious. We were way too full to try dessert, but that just gives us another reason to come back and work our way through more of the menu. One thing that surprised us was how busy it was inside. From the outside, the restaurant looks pretty quiet and unassuming, but once you walk in, you realize they clearly have a loyal following. You can also tell that Cap's is family-run, and there's something really special about seeing a local restaurant that has clearly built something that works. Good food, generous portions, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem in downtown Brentwood, and we're looking forward to coming back!

The caesar salad was just that, I suppose it was okay ‍. Both were presented in a large bowl but there was a lot of "food padding". Now, I was born and raised in San Francisco, so the crab louie threw me off. I'm use to ice berg, egg, tomato and a pile of Dungeness crab. The Dungeness sat on top (not really a lot), then there was iceberg, onion, cucumber, egg, tomato, mushrooms and artichoke (lol). It felt like they threw in everything but the kitchen sink. There was a lot of lettuce piled at the bottom. I didn't eat much, I had to bring it home and try to fix it. The dressing was good, although it was thousand island, which has sweet pickles and traditional louie dressing does not. I would go back and try something else but not the crab louie.

We had a wonderful time at Orwood Resort Marina! The vibe is so relaxed and welcoming and right on…read morethe water with that perfect Delta view. We ordered the nachos and potato skins, and both were delicious. The nachos were loaded with all the good stuff, and the potato skins were crispy and flavorful exactly what you want when you're kicking back by the water. Our server Tanille was Amazing! The drinks were outstanding too and great cocktails that hit the spot and really enhanced the whole experience. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it feel like a true escape. Whether you're boating, launching, or just stopping by for bites and drinks, this place delivers. Highly recommend Orwood Resort Marina for a fun, laid-back day or evening. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Delta Dining with a Front-Row Seat to the Action. Some restaurants lean heavily on their kitchens…read more Others rely on their scenery. This Delta mainstay attempts, and often succeeds, to balance both. A short drive from the city delivers you to this laidback waterfront outpost, where the real show unfolds just beyond the patio: a steady procession of boaters launching, docking, and lingering over the day's boating stories all around you. It's an unpolished but undeniably charming backdrop, best enjoyed with a cold craft beer in hand and nowhere urgent to be. The menu casts a wide variety of burgers, seafood, barbecue, designed more for broad appeal than culinary ambition. Still, it largely delivers on its promise of satisfying comfort fare. Service, however, is where the restaurant consistently distinguishes itself. Staff members are warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, a level of hospitality that feels increasingly uncommon and worth noting. On this visit, I returned to a familiar favorite: the cheeseburger, paired, at our server's suggestion, with tater tots. Around the table, fish and chips and pulled pork sliders completed the spread. The cheeseburger, Juicy and cooked with precision, it carries a distinct flame-grilled character that signals real attention to technique. The toppings are fresh, the bun properly toasted, and the overall construction strikes a satisfying balance between indulgent and controlled. It's a burger that delivers exactly what it promises, and does so consistently. Having previously paired it with excellent onion rings, it remains a dish I'd order without hesitation. The tater tots, however, were a notable misstep. A great tot should offer contrast, crisp exterior giving way to a light, airy interior. These lacked that essential textural payoff. Soft and underwhelming, they suggested oil past its prime and a lapse in execution. After sampling a few, I left the rest behind. It was a surprising inconsistency, particularly given stronger past experiences. Fortunately, the pulled pork sliders recalibrated the meal. Three well-proportioned sandwiches showcased tender, smoky pork layered onto soft buns with a restrained hand on the sauce. The balance was thoughtful, allowing the meat to remain the focal point. Each bite was cohesive and satisfying, making them one of the afternoon's clear highlights. The fish and chips were fresh and not over battered, well-flavored, but just a little heavy, that defines the dish at its best when lightly crispy, in my opinion. For this visit, I award 3 out of 5 stars. Not for lack of potential, the kitchen clearly has it, but for inconsistency. Strong dishes sit alongside underwhelming ones, and that variability prevents the restaurant from reaching its full potential. Having experienced better execution here before, particularly with fried items, it's evident that higher standards are within reach. Still, three stars should not deter a visit. This remains one of the Delta's most appealing gathering spots. The waterfront setting, approachable pricing, generous portions, and engaging atmosphere create an experience that extends beyond the plate. It's a place where time stretches, conversations deepen, and the rhythm of the water sets the pace. I'll return, for something new on the menu, the view, and with the hope that the kitchen rediscovers the consistency needed to match its undeniable strengths.

We tried Sticky Chicken at it's previous location and weren't impressed; the services was shoddy…read moreand food was meh. But I'm a firm believer in second chances so when we realized this was in a different location near an event we attended, we were excited to try it again. And I'm so glad we did. Service was 10/10. I saw a lot of previous reviews mentioning the same experience we originally had. If this was you but you liked the food, please give them another shot. We ordered a little closer to closing than I normally would (about an hour, nothing crazy.) The young lady that helped me was incredibly kind and double checked our order against the receipt. We don't live super close so this was very much appreciated. We ordered the 3s a Crowd, sticky wings, fries, corn bread, mac & cheese and potatoe salad. With the exception of the chicken tender that came in the 3s a Crowd, all of the meat was excellent. The brisket was perfectly smoked & sauced and the ribs literally fell off the bone. The chicken leg was crispy, juicy and had amazing flavor. Sadly, the chicken tender was really dry, almost tough to bite through. But in the grand scheme of meat - we weren't there for the tenders so not a deal breaker for us. Fries were packaged in a wax bag so they were pretty soggy, but I acknowledge that we had about a 10 minute drive before eating. They still tasted pretty good as far as fries go. Corn beard was about as unremarkable as corn bread can be without being notably bad. It wasn't bad - it certainly wasn't good... It was, much like the mac & cheese, without any flavor or appealing consistency at all. It was crumbly, not sweet or savory - and left no more than a hint of corn bread after taste. The mac & cheese was wildly overcooked & lacked any flavor at all. It didn't taste "bad," it literally tasted like nothing at all and was comically mushy. This wasn't something seasoning could fix. The potatoe salad on the other hand was great; very flavorful, amazing consistency, I loved this. If you can't have a bbq without mac & cheese or corn bread, this might not be the spot for you. But we will absolutely be back for ribs, chicken, brisket and to try the other sides. Overall we really enjoyed trying this again and will definitely be back.

The waitress quickly came to clean off the table we chose. They were fairly busy and it was very hot in there. They had fans going but I'm thinking they might be having issues with their a/c. It was at least 100° outside so maybe their a/c unit couldn't keep up. We ordered an appetizer and then my husband ordered the prime rib sandwich and I ordered a salad and added chicken. Everything was delicious but prices are on the slightly pricey side. For example, my salad with the chicken was $35. It wasn't a large salad either, like some places have. At least I was full. I know it's a steakhouse but it's not giving "upscale steakhouse". The waitress had a "shadow". They were both very friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back but maybe on a cooler day.

Ordered a jack and coke, what I received was a watered down coke, I politely sent it back. Waitress brings a second and it's worse than the first, if I didn't know better I'd say they just tossed fresh ice in the same drink. It was awful and I told the waitress to just bring me a beer. She was babbling something about her not making the drink, I never said she did. Only that the drink was awful. Of course the service was sub bar after that. We opted for a couple steaks, mine was small and medium well-not at all what I asked for. Needless to say, who I was with received a nice cut and great tasting steak. I would have sent mine back if I could have found the waitress. In all it was sadly a very poor experience.

Over the last 10 years or so , every year , it's gotten worse and worse and worse. With their last night with my family, ordered Carne asada tacos just like I always do and they were completely flavorles and the tortillas horrible. They changed the salsa..why i dont know? That was the only thing left there that tasted decent. If you look on their front door you can plainly see , they used to be really good with all of the awards for the last twenty years For best restaurant in Brentwood, I haven't seen any new ones on the door lately. If you order a meal , the rice and beans are spread so thin on your plate , There's only about three spoonfuls each. They're prices have gone up to just about almost twenty dollars a meal , which is absolutely ridiculous for the quality and quantity of food they give you. For a family of four, me my wife and my 10 year old and 5 year old, it came out to $87. I had 3 tacos, my wife had a burrito and my son's had pizza. $87!!! Plus now they include tip on every check!!! I know why... probably because they weren't getting very good tips. Because the food and service sucks, so now they have to add it to your bill so they get something out of it. And every time summer rolls around and it's ninety degrees outside , you go inside and the ac never works and it's always musky and hot and humid in there as well. I would recommend going to La Fuente downtown Brentwood, they give you 3 times as much food for half the price, and the quality of food is extremely better. Last night , unfortunately , will be the last time I take myself or my family to Jaliscos. I don't know what happened to this place, but they need to figure it out or else they will not be in business very much longer. Considering every time I do go in there , there's maybe 5 people total in the entire restaurant. That should tell you something. And finally... why I even went back to this place after this happened ... Two months ago , we were in there for a family dinner birthday , and I got down to the bottom of my chips and noticed that there was a roach deep fried with my chips at the bottom of the basket. I didn't want to make a big scene and tell everyone at the table.So I kind of just covered it up and sent it back to the kitchen when we were all done. Again, why I went back after that happened? I have no idea.I guess I've just tried to give these people multiple chances to get it right.But they just can't seem to do it If you like expensive flavorless food with very little quantity of rice and beans , this is the place for you.
