    So much fun! There was an Earth Day event at the Off the Grid last night and it was so much fun. A beautiful day, lots of parking, great vendors, delicious food, live music and lots of fun activities for the kiddos. We had such a lovely evening and can't wait for the next one!

    Teo years of deadly virus and the popular Off the Grid has return to Pleasant Hill Wednesday Night. I been attending this Wednesday Night extravaganza since 2014 and it gets better. Hot or cold there are people that are coming to the park. Off the Grid has taken measure to make sure people who are not vaccinated are still wearing the mask. Instead of chairs in the park they now provide tables. Easy for Off the Grid to setup and take down. Pleasant Hill is the home for Off the Grid on Wednesday Night. Second biggest market to Fort Mason Friday Night.

    Pretty cool spot, I food was ok and the beer was nice. The vibe and live music was the highlight. I like that it's family friendly.

    My favorite Off the Grid in CoCo county! Yes, it's true... lil P-hill really knows how to throw a true Off the Grid Par-tay! The Pleasant Hill Off the Grid is one of the larger markets in the area and usually houses about 7-10 rotating food trucks. I love that they actually provide an adequate amount of lawn chairs that they are available for anyone to sit and lounge in. They also have three portable restrooms with hand sanitizer stations in them AND a little station where you can actually wash your hands! This Off the Grid is held right behind Michael's off of Gregory Lane, and there is always parking available. They usually have a beer garden available with beer and wine that's supplied by a local brewery or pub in the area. I also really enjoy their live music! This market is usually held every Wednesday year around from 5p-9p. During the summer it can get quite busy, but I've never had to wait a ridiculous amount of time in line. What I really enjoy most about this Off the Grid are the variety of great food trucks that they have! The food trucks are usually rotating but they tend to always have a nice spread of trucks that have different types of cuisines. They also usually have around 10 or so trucks whereas the Concord location usually only had about 5-7. Some of my absolute favorite food trucks frequent this Off the Grid! I'm utterly obsessed with Cousin's Maine Lobster truck. I literally had to ween myself off the truck for a while because I was coming almost every Wednesday to get their addicting lobster roll! Another favorite truck of mine is IzzyA's frozen custard truck. If and when this truck is present... a scoop of frozen custard will most likely be in my hand at any given time. There are several other trucks that come here that I enjoy as well. The variety, convenience, and entertainment is what constantly keeps me coming back. If you're in the Contra Costa are and are looking for good eats and good times, you should definitely check the Pleasant Hill Off the Grid out.

    Ample amounts of free parking: sweet. Variety of tasty food trucks to choose from: awesome. Dogs everywhere that you can play with: hot diggity dog! You really can't go wrong with that triple whammy. Convenient hours from 5-9pm, so of you don't feel like cooking after a long day at work, you can get your grub on right here! For those who like to unwind with booze, they've got an alcohol truck with a variety of wines and beers to choose from. I kid you not, it's a dream come true according to my alcoholic friends. I believe the trucks rotate so it's not the same every week, but don't expect the prices to change much. Typical food truck prices and portions, but hey, it's OK to indulge in these hipster dining experiences every once in a while. I had trouble choosing, but ended up with a Korean BBQ chicken rice bowl from Bombzies (great name huh?). Korean marinade that was flavorful with a little kick. It comes with a side of kimchi and cucumbers - I skipped the kimchi and doubled up on cucumbers. And of course, I followed this meal with doggy playtime...yes, I literally pet and played with every dog present.

    I bought foods from Gyro Stop & Street Steam Bunz. Those are 2 of my favorites. People there are nice too & friendly.

    The food truck hype has finally made its way to Pleasant Hill! I have to say, the entire atmosphere and environment is DEFINITELY enjoyable. It almost always seems like a summer block party or family-friendly day in the park. It's the one day a week the neighborhood seems to gather on up and spend some time--and bucks--under the sun. I've had some pretty mediocre food experiences here, as you definitely should and need to look at the trucks' menus. What comes out isn't always as tasty as it sounds--and the price isn't always too nice. I've always been a big supporter of small businesses, but I'd still like my food to be good... Trucks tend to change every week and there are a couple that are consistently there. From sliders to falafels to curry to grilled cheese to garlic noodles, pick your food wisely. And the frozen custard from Lexie's seems to be the single dessert truck here on the weekly. Enjoyable environment, friendly townsfolk and vendors with live music and ample lawn seating surrounding Pleasant Hill City Hall's gorgeous lake/water/pond/whatever it is, it's a fun environment to meet people up and share a beer or wine from the crafty stand set up, though choose your food wisely.

    Great place to go on Wednesday Night after work during the summertime! Each week most of the food trucks rotate so your not always eating the same thing every week. Guess what? They serve beer and wine too! Good selection of beers but the wine...not the best (you'll get a headache after 1 glass) By the way, i would say my favorite truck would be the Labsta Truck and their Lobster Roll...sooooo delish!

I loved the fried chicken (this is the one that they usually give as a sample). The kimchi is a nice touch. They give good portions and I was able to eat the leftovers as a whole meal. This isn't a sit down restaurant- just a stall in the mall food court. Plenty of nearby seating. Also, the food is already prepared and you just pick from the hot food table. All in all it is a solid pick if you're craving fast Asian food while shopping!

There are a lot of places to sit once you pick up your food. It's pretty loud since it's in the malls This place is cafeteria style, the food is all out for you to choose from. The person working was super friendly! I gave this place a 3 because the deep fried chicken and shrimp were overly cooked and extremely dry. The fried chicken was very thin. Didn't even think it had chicken inside. We ordered beef bulgogi which was very tender and filled with flavor. The fried red chicken had a lot of flavor but it felt like the ratio from meat to batter wasn't great. The rice cakes in chili was interesting... it tasted a bit like spaghettiOs... the texture of the dish was like a squishy tasting gnocchi. The japchae was filled with flavor. At first the texture threw me of but afterwards you are hit with great taste. The tofu was so good. For a place that's in the mall, it's ok. I was expecting more but it's a great if you want to share with others and try different restaurants in the food court.

This mall has all…read morestorefronts filled up and is busy, so different from the shuttered SF Shopping center that closed down and Tanforan shopping to be closed for senior housing down on San Bruno area. This mall has so many jewelry stores, it's crazy! there's even a barber shop for men on first floor which was different. There's a JC Penny here and like walking around bring back old memories of stores I grew up with with Spenser, Sweet Factory store for sour patch kids candy, Hallmark, and life uniforms. I felt their food court had a strange layout as on first floor all their sweets where there and 2 main food places sushi and newly open Mexican in the mall. I know outside has the yummy BJs and Fusion Buffet. Yes, nice mall to visit and they have a Macys here with the perfume dept working the floor very hard. Perfume is quite expensive!

I don' t know if this mall is ever packed and it's not totally the mall's fault - buying stuff on line has really killed the brick-and-mortal stores in general and I get it. But holy smokes, the stores here - it's multiple variations of the same crap stores. Who buys this stuff? There are some stores that I absolutely cannot believe make enough money to stay open. They have to pay rent and employee salaries and make some sort of profit and you wonder how it's possible. If you go here and look around, you'll know what stores I'm talking about. I was walking around here yesterday was just amazed at the absolute garbage stores. One "kitsch" store (and there are many) proudly displayed some poster about "stupid people" by its entrance that you could buy - for people to buy to make fun of stupid people - yet literally the only people who would buy this are the people it makes fun of. And you can't walk into these stores because the second you do the employee is on you. Like Blockbuster where every employee had to greet you and see if you need anything. I just want to look around without being bothered but it's not possible in these stores. They have so little people in them, when an employee does get someone they hover. You do still have some good stores - Macys of course, an old standby with good stuff - you can't go wrong with a Macys. Even JC Penneys is still here (I didn't even know they were still around). The Sears finally went out and to no one's surprise, they couldn't care less about that store for years now. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. And the clientele walking around. You have your people of all ages and races which you want to see. California is represented well at this mall and I like that. And of course your thugs always wasting time walking around - disturbs me seeing these guys. I guess the mall can't do anything about them but yeah, they're here. On the plus side, the mall is super clean. I'd like to hope that this mall, one of the malls I've been to for decades will still be around for a long time but honestly, if this thing still exists in three years I'd be shocked.

I think the problem is that I couldn't get past the lack of a restroom in the area. They had some portables, but they are making food and we are supposed to eat it. Where are they washing their hands? This area is also pretty cold so if you go, make sure that you have a coat, scarf and hat. I'll never make that mistake again. But because of the cold, I didn't want to eat outside so our food got a cold, but it was good. My husband liked the food he got, but gluten free options are super limited. They get a third star because of the bar! Now there was only one person working there and that's fine because he could go get a snack or something and come back to pour drinks, but again. The restroom issue. Where does he wash his hands, what if he has a cold and sneezes into them, and so on. That's where my mind went. The vendors are quite nice and were helpful and weren't mean when they answered my GF questions and I appreciate that. So, this is like the little engine that could. I can see that it is a gathering spot for people and they have music and speakers which is cool. So I saw and felt a community vibe and people really seemed to like going. If I lived in the area, I may try it a bit more, but in all honestly, Oakland Museum's Off the Grid event is everything I wish this was. I'm sure that they will get there, but don't want to hang out while they figure it out.
