I can appreciate this local mom and pop shop for its quaint and simple ambiance. To me, Juicy…read moreBurger similar to going to a barbecue as you order and find a seat while the cook is cooking. There is a toppings and condiment bar for you to craft your own burger to your hearts desire. My burger was juicy and a bit soggy due to the juices dripping, so you know it's authentic. I was surprised how the cashier asked me how i wanted it to be cooked. I gave a five stars because the staff was friendly and the reality is it's like a public bbq turned into a restaurant without servers. It's JUICY!

Had just finished going to the Spring Seed share over at the park and it was lunch time. I hadn't…read morehad a burger in a while, but the open condiment bar was enticing from the pictures so we headed over. What a decision! The restaurant is on the edge of a random collection of shops (too bad there isn't a bookstore over there!) You walk in and the music is a collection of 70s pop and I immediately wanted to sing and dance along to the ABBA. There weren't a lot of people so that felt a little odd. But the condiment bar looked fresh and enticing with crisp lettuce and brightly colored tomatos. There was even a hand sanitizer in front of the bar to encourage folks to clean hands before using. The service was fast, and responsive and we just had to wait for our food and drinks. Soda is fulfilled by the people behind the counter (the only thing here was the soda didn't have that sharp delicious crispness but i fault the actual coke zero versus the restaurant. it's obvious they care about their ingredients). The fries came out first, and they were just right, not overly salted, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. Then the hamburgers came out and the bread was soft, and the medium burger was fantastic. Of course I piled on all the tasty condiments, jalepnos, lettuce, tomatoes, even banana peppers and lots of red onions. While we were there we did see more folks show up but not as many as I would expect based on the quality of the food here. if you enjoy a tasty burger with all the toppings, this is a fantastic gem of a place and well worth the trip!

The flavor was okay at first, but as I got toward the middle of the sandwich, I noticed the meat was actually cold. I'm not sure how it was heated, but it definitely didn't seem like it was warmed through properly. The au jus was also disappointing and had an almost burnt taste to it, which made it hard to enjoy the rest of the sandwich. Sadly, I don't think I'd come back based on my experience.

I'd like to come here because it's quiet, I can work send a text message needed, but I had to worry about the loud music like some places. I really enjoyed coming here, even though I only come once a week, Because I don't live nearby. I highly recommended to everyone who likes to enjoy breakfast lunch.

BREAKFAST STEAK AND LUNCH BURGER…read more I ate at City Diner twice. The first time was in April before going to the San Jose Fair Downs to bet on horse races. Before going to bet on horseracing I like to order steak for brunch. I ordered New York steak asking the steak to be cooked medium rare. After several bites I noticed the steak was cooked medium. Maybe it's superstition, but if I do not enjoy my steak I tend to lose at the racetracks. That's what happened at City Diner since the steak wasn't cooked to my preference as I lost money at the San Jose Fair Downs that day. I wasn't planning to come back to City Diner soon however i noticed one of the items listed on the burger section of the menu was corned beef burger. I've eaten pastrami burger before, but not corned beef burger. Also I love corned beef. I came back last Saturday for the corned beef burger. For $3 more instead of fries I requested onion rights. There is an abundance of milkshakes at City Diner. I asked my server and he recommended the "Groom", which is a mocha malt as it is his favorite. The "Groom" wasn't too sweet so I was able to finish it. The corned beef burger included slices of bacon. I was worried that the bacon would mask the taste of the corned beef as both bacon and corned beef are cured. I was correct as I couldn't taste the corned beef due to the bacon. Overall I'm glad I came here to eat for lunch however I do not see myself coming to City Diner anytime soon.

Garcia's Country Kitchen advertises - "Fresh Ingredients, Big Portions, Real Flavor. That's How We…read moreDo Comfort Food." and they absolutely deliver. My wife and I stopped in for our first visit around 10am on a Sunday. It was busy with a steady stream of customers coming and going, but we were seated quickly. After eating here, it's easy to understand why this place is so popular. I ordered the Chile Colorado Omelette with Country Potatoes, and I took advantage of their awesome substitution option by swapping the toast for French Toast at no extra charge. The omelette was packed with flavor and was incredibly cheesy. My wife ordered the Southern Style Breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, biscuits & gravy, and fresh fruit. My favorite bite of the entire meal was actually the Biscuits & Gravy, they were absolutely delicious. The portions here are no joke. Neither of us came close to finishing our meals, so we're looking forward to some great leftovers. While most entrées are around $20, it's easy to justify the price when you're basically getting two meals out of one. We both ordered coffee, and just like many other reviewers have mentioned, the refills kept coming. We each had four refills. Our waitress, Breanna, was friendly, attentive, and top-notch. If you're looking for a local spot that serves excellent comfort food with generous portions and outstanding service, Garcia's Country Kitchen is definitely worth checking out. We came for breakfast, but after this experience, we'll definitely be back to try the lunch menu.

Every slurp/bite of soup was so tasty, though my one piece of feedback is I wish the rice was less mushy. The beef with assorted vegetables was also delicious and well-portioned. Very tender beef (though a bit too saucy for my liking), but it paired super well with some rice The menu was a bit overwhelming with the many options, but lots of other dishes (tangerine beef) seemed really interesting! Staff was super attentive and nice, and the overall restaurant felt clean and modern with intentionally-chosen decor

On a Roll…read more Family-owned deli that's been in business for almost as long as I've been alive (ca. 1979) and serves up maybe the best deli sandwiches in the South Bay. While I do love just about any and every type of food, there's always been something about a good deli sandwich that brings me back to childhood and my uncle's old delicatessen. I've even gone so far as to institute a "Sandwich Friday" for our weekday dinners, and as of late, we've been going to Zanotto's Willow Glen, as it's on my route home from work, but the other day we changed things up and came to the Sandwich Mill--and boy, I'd forgotten how great this place is! But to keep things fair, I decided to do a sandwich-off and see whose sammy reigns supreme--allez cuisine! Bread: This might be the most important part of the sammich, in my opinion, and The Mill beats the shit out of Zanotto's on this one. Their bread is so soft and fresh, like a pillow that's been in the dryer. While Zanotto's breads, despite how busy they always are, always seem old and stale. Also, The Mill has a croissant option! Winner: Sandwich Mill Toppings: Pretty standard across the board, as both have a variety of mustard, sauces, and the usual cavalcade of classic sammy toppings (e.g., pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc.). Winner: Draw Meat: Zanotto's has a larger selection of deli meats, including prosciutto, but The Mill has Italian sausage and meatballs. Winner: Draw Cheese: The Mill just has a small handful of classic cheeses to choose from, while Zanotto's has a bevy of classics as well as some exotic stuff like Hatch Chili Cheddar, Smoky Cheddar, and Horseradish Cheddar, to name a few. Winner: Zanotto's Ordering: Zanotto's doesn't have an online portal, unless you use DoorDash, but then it only connects to the Rose Garden location, which is way across town for us Cambrian residents. Plus, DD equals paying extra $, while The Mill has a really easy-to-use website where the price you see is what you'd pay in-store. Winner: The Sandwich Mill Accouterments: Zanotto's has a whole grocery store of stuff you can buy, including beer and a giant selection of crisps. While The Mill only has a small selection of crisps. Winner: Zanotto's Price: Zanotto's sandwiches are $14/ea, while you can get a regular for $10 or a large for $14 at The Mill. Pro Tip: If you like wraps, The Mill's wraps are easily twice the size of Zanotto's and for $5 less! Winner: The Sandwich Mill Ambiance: Zanotto's parking lot sucks and it sometimes takes forever--especially on weekends!--to get your sandwich thanks to their lack of online ordering. At The Mill you place your order online and by the time you arrive it's ready for you. Easy in. Easy out. Winner: The Sandwich Mill **DING DING DING DING** Conclusion: It was a tough battle, but The Mill comes out on top with a decisive final score of 4-2-2. While Zanotto's is still a damn, fine place to get a sammy, I think we'll stick to The Mill from now on.
