    Parking: street parking Entrance: no steps, easy access Exterior: signs visible, outdoor seatings and shaded Interior: well lit, flat floors easy to walk and roll cart or wheelchair, wide isles, very clean environment There is two restroom, one is bigger for anyone who needs more space Service: friendly, helpful, knowledgeable Food/Goods: very good crust and plentiful on the toppings. One slice is almost the size of the plate

    First time here I've always wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint. We got two pies, the grubby pie and lemon pepper pie. Our favorite was the grubby pie 100% we'd order again.

    I visited Square Pie Guys in Walnut Creek on May 2 around 5:30 PM. I had previously visited the Oakland location several months ago and remembered enjoying it. The pizza was decent, and the wings were excellent, so I was genuinely excited to try this location. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to my expectations. The pizza was okay, but the chicken was extremely salty and difficult to eat. It also didn't taste as fresh as I remembered from my previous experience. Considering how much I spent, I left feeling like it was a waste of money. I was really looking forward to the meal, which made the disappointment even greater. This may have just been an off day, but based on this experience, I probably won't be returning. I hope others have a better experience because I had high hopes going in. The service and energy were great.

    Our dinner is looking good!

    We love Detroit Style Pizza!!! Honestly Square Pie Guys is one of the few pizza joints around here that actually offers something relatively close to the kind we could get in Michigan. The only downside for us is the price because it's still considered a relatively new trend here in the Bay Area, and the price reflects that. In my opinion $25-$30 for 4 slices is too expensive for pizza in our budget, so we sadly couldn't afford to get it as often as we'd like. But yesterday was the last day of their Buy One Get One Free deal, and we didn't wanna miss it! We ordered through the app, and I wish it was a little more flexible. They had some pre-set pizzas to choose from, but you couldn't modify them at all. For example, we don't like Hot Honey on pizza, but if a pre-set came with it, there was absolutely no option to remove it. That felt really inconvenient since we liked all the other toppings and just really wanted to remove literally one. Because of that, we ended up having to build our own pizzas, which honestly wasn't hard to do. With that said though, the confusing part that we found out later was that when you build your own pizza, the extra toppings apparently aren't included in the Buy One Get One Free deal. So we ended up paying full price for all the added toppings on both pizzas, which felt a little misleading and caught us by surprise when we saw the final total cost. That being said, the pizza itself was really yummy. We got a Pepperoni Pizza and another one with Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Marinated Bell Peppers, and Red Onion. Both were super delicious. I loved how fluffy the bread was while the bottom of it still had that crispy crunch. The cheese flavor really came through, and the toppings were super flavorful too. But at the end of the day, it's sadly still a little pricey for us to get regularly, but I really hope they bring back the Buy One Get One Free deal again sometime soon because we'd definitely order again.

    One of my favorite pizza spots in WC, even though I'm not the biggest fan of Detroit style pizza their flavor combinations make the pizza amazing. The wings are hella good and the garlic fries are always on point. They don't have regular soda in the store but do carry craft soda and some beer. The service is always very friendly but I've only done take out so can't review for those eating there. The ambiance of the store is very clean and modern. I only saw one bathroom inside the store, with the sinks being outside of the actual bathroom. Overall have been back there multiple times and will continue to come back.

    Spicy pepperoni
    Everett L.

    Square pie guys has some of the best crunchy crust and bottom. The flavor is also very good. We had the spicy pepperoni and it was covered with jalapeños and spicy vodka sauce. There's also outdoor seating, which is nice because you can have pets with you. They make it fresh so do you anticipate a 15-20 minute wait per pie

    Ellen Supreme
    Rachel M.

    Really tasty Detroit-style pizza! Location is below an apartment complex in the corner with paid street, public parking nearby, and indoor and outdoor seating. I was able to schedule my order for a specific pick up time and the friendly team executed my 3 pizzas and wings right on the dot. My hubz was able to order a custom vegan pie without cheese, I got the Ellen Supreme and the lemon pepper wings. Everything was tasty - albeit kind of salty - crispy crust, cheese and ample toppings! Service was friendly and there was indoor and outdoor seating. Interior was modern and clean with gray and blue accents. I'd come back!

    Da Grubby Pie
    Rachel C.

    Square Pie Guys is easily one of my favorite pizza spots. I ordered the "Da Grubby Pie" (limited edition*) which consisted of white sauce, pickled jalapeños, gochujang bbq chicken, green onions, sesame seeds, and topped with their alabama white sauce. The pie was perfectly cheese-y with some asian flavors (and a hint of spice). Also, don't forget to get their complementary sparkling water! Service was relatively quick. There is ample seating inside and outside of the restaurant. It is located under an apartment complex. Street parking only, can be somewhat difficult during peak hours.

    Lemon pepper wings
    Andrew E.

    This place tastes like what a true Detroit style pizza would taste like. The ingredients put into the pizza taste good quality and were balanced. Pepperoni was better than average. The texture was also something that I noticed was better than other detroit style pizzas Ive had. Nice crisp edges and not burnt and clean tasting. The middle was soft but not doughy. Wings were also solid. Crispy outside, juicy inside and good flavor and not greasy. The stand out to me was the ranch. It had a lemon zest to it and great on the wings. but it also great on the pizza! (Im from california dont hate me) Came here for an early lunch on Saturday and we were the only ones dining in. Staff was nice and helpful. Although they seem to be dealing with "new store" syndrome. Not 100% sure on certain ingredients. Took about 10ish minutes to get our pizza and shorter time for the wings. The restaurant is on the smaller side. Its clean and has a new store look. Basic decor with posters on the walls. A very casual spot for lunch or late night quick dinner. Parking can be hard to find since its next to bart.

    Cheese bread
    WC N.

    Pizzatiers rejoice! The square pie guys are here! No need to drive thru the tunnel required. Quality is as expected- deep dish heaven. But wait, if you are a cheese purist you get an awesome deal in the form of cheesy bread. This $9 treasure is a proper cheese pizza served with a BOWL of marinara. I said what i said. We also had the everything pie and I am now in love. Lots of seating available. Just Try it

    Davis Y.

    Heard a lot of hype from my friend who is from Detroit so I had to try it. Got it delivered earlier this week and with the classic cheese. I was hoping for something with more flavor. It was good but I wasn't blown away like I thought I would be. Crust was good but the cheese and sauce were nothing special. Will probably give it another go down the road but didn't live up to the hype for me.

    Danika Z.

    Got the mushroom pizza--loaded with cheese and big mushroom chunks. Quality felt noticeably better than usual. I only had one and a half slices and was already full They have both indoor and outdoor seating; we chose outside so the kids could make a mess without stress

    Wow, that was extremely impressive and tasty. We ordered the fried Brussels and the P-Lo vodka sauce Sausage pizza. The quality was amazing. The portion for two people was great. Will definitely come back. Unique beverage offerings. Service was excellent. Very bright interior.

    We finally made Sipeos the priority after walking past it for ages on our True Food trips next…read moredoor, and it earned the detour. California-Mediterranean spot with a big vegetarian focus, plenty of vegan and gluten-free options, and a solid cocktail and beer list to go with it. I had the Impossible Kefta, which was full of flavor and easily my favorite thing on the table. The Avocado Toast-ish held up too, piled with arugula, feta, and poached eggs. We finished with the Mediterranean Cocoa Mousse and it was worth every calorie. If you only order one thing, make it the kefta. The Turkish coffee deserves its own mention. I know my Turkish coffee, and this one was done right. Not burnt, thick and flavorful down to the last sip. Staff was friendly and on top of things. The indoor tables were all held by reservations, so they sat us at the bar, which turned out to be a nice perch anyway. Make a reservation if you want indoor seating, but the bar and the outdoor patio are both comfortable. Noise stayed low to average the whole time. We never had to raise our voices. Clean spot, well staffed. Parking is free for the first three hours in Broadway Plaza, so the logistics are easy. They serve brunch, lunch, and dinner, plus a happy hour Monday through Thursday with cheap bar bites and discounted drinks. Great experience start to finish. I'd come back for dinner or happy hour and bring friends next time.

    Food 5/5 Service 3.5/5…read moreAmbiance 2.5/5 I've been wanting to try this spot for a while and I'm glad I did. Unfortunately the rain caused a plumbing issue resulting in sewage back up and bathrooms and half of the seating were closed. Thus, the reason for the low ambiance score. The food was very good, everything was fresh and the combination of flavors were perfectly flavored. I ordered the chicken avocado bowl with Romain and quinoa as a base. You can pick your own and I subbed crunchy rice vs. tortilla chips. I loved my bowl and wistfully look back to try some of the other bowls I saw other patrons order. This is a fast casual spot, you place your order while going down a line to select ingredients. At the end your salad or bowl is tossed and ready to eat. I loved it and recommend without reservation.

    I've been a Sweetgreen customer since the original Mountain View location opened roughly 15 years…read moreago. Today was the worst customer service experience I've ever had at any Sweetgreen. I specifically requested a bowl for dine in because I strongly dislike eating out of the compostable cardboard containers. They affect the taste and overall dining experience for me. When I asked for a bowl, I was told none were available. The problem was that I could clearly see bowls in the restaurant. I was told they were "dirty" and unavailable. I also observed bowls being used for wrap preparation. I pointed out that there were other bowls visible, including plastic and porcelain bowls, but Store Manager Julia repeatedly cited "store policy" and offered no solution whatsoever. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of effort to accommodate a loyal customer. No attempt to wash a bowl. No alternative suggestion. No effort to find a manager-level solution. Just a flat "no." As a result, my wife ate her salad, my daughter ate her wrap, and I sat there watching because I refused to eat from the cardboard container. I've happily supported Sweetgreen for over 15 years, but after today's experience, that relationship is over. Other fast-casual restaurants like MIXT and Tender Greens have no issue providing proper dine-in bowls and plates when customers request them. The issue wasn't the bowl. It was the attitude, the unwillingness to help, and a manager who seemed more interested in hiding behind policy than solving a customer problem. After 15 years as a customer, I expected better. UPDATE: Sweetgreen responded with a generic, copy-and-paste apology that did not address any of the questions raised in this review. Specifically: * Does Sweetgreen provide dine in bowls or not? * Why are dine in bowls prominently featured in Sweetgreen's advertising and app if customers cannot use them? * Why was no attempt made to wash a bowl or otherwise accommodate a dine in customer? * Was Store Manager Julia correctly applying Sweetgreen policy, or was this simply poor customer service? I am still waiting for an answer.

    Casual Spot with a Great Indoor-Outdoor Vibe!…read more We had a beautiful day out in Walnut Creek today and decided to stop by Gott's Roadside for a casual bite. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! The Vibe & Atmosphere The space is incredibly bright, open, and airy. Even though you're sitting indoors, the massive open structure makes it feel like you're sitting outside. It instantly gave me the breezy, expansive vibes of an outdoor concert pavilion or open-air amphitheater. It's the perfect casual setup with comfortable bench seating and a gorgeous, light-filled aesthetic. The Food & Drinks We didn't snap a photo of the food because we dove right in, but everything hit the spot: The Western Bacon Burger: Perfectly made, featuring a really nice, thick, crispy onion ring inside that stole the show. Garlic Fries: Flavorful, hot, and the perfect side. The Strawberry Lemonade & Rosé (⁠image_5.png⁠): I am not usually a big soda or sweet drink person outside of the house, but this strawberry lemonade was so good I willingly paid $3.50+ for a second one! Pro-Tip on the Drinks: They serve the drinks heavy on the ice. For me, that's a perfect catch-22 because it keeps it cold and dials down the total sugar intake. But if you're someone who wants every ounce of drink and doesn't mind the sugar, definitely ask for your ice on the side! Sweet Treats Note: The milkshakes looked incredibly thick and delicious (the peanut butter one caught my eye!). However, we passed on the cookies displayed at the counter. Visually, they looked like flattened-out dinosaur eggs--a bit dry on the outside (though they might be moist inside!). We decided to skip them based on appearance alone. Service & Cleanliness The ordering system here is great-you order at one window, they give you an old-school buzzer, and you pick up your food on the other side. Customer service at the counter was quick and efficient. I was also incredibly impressed by how diligent the staff was; they were constantly coming by to pick up trays and ensure absolutely no trash was left floating around. Even the bathrooms were clean, bright, and airy.

Just by walking up to it, you knew the food was going ti be good because there were many ppl sitting outside and the line was out the door. They automatically have menus waiting for you by the door and the special of the day posts both with words and pics. This spot has everything: burgers, salads, wraps, chicken sandwiches and etc. They serve beer, wine and hard alcohol. They even have a frose. However, just know the process area a bit steep and you do not get any sides with anything. Everything is sold separately. This spot is hugh btw. Plenty of seating My wife and I both ordered the California burger. I took off the balsamic onions and added lettuce and tomatoes. We shared regular fries. I also ordered a special of the day which was street corn. My wife ordered a cobb salad and froze. I had a water with lemons. They gave us a buzzer item to alert when our food came. We opted to sit outside in the sun. Once out food was ready... my wife went inside to pickup, my wife had to return the fries because they were cold. Everything wise came hot and so good. The burger was so big and juicy lol. Everything we had was fresh. My wife was surprised with her salad presentation, the size and the lemon vinegeratte that it is served with. She bust it down. We were both very happy with our food choice for lunch...as you can read..lol.

    After a few hours of walking around the mall, visiting some stores, and doing the shopping we…read moreneeded, we were both very hungry. As I entered, I eyed Cholita Linda, and since we had already eaten at the place near us, I knew what we wanted and would enjoy for our late lunch or early dinner... a Cubano! For those who might not know, a traditional Cubano sandwich is made with Cuban bread (a white bread loaf with a thin, crispy crust and a soft, airy inside. Usually, a moist palmetto leaf is placed on top of the dough before baking to create its signature split), Mojo-marinated roasted pork (slow-roasted in a marinade made of sour orange juice, garlic, oregano, and cumin), glazed ham (sweet, deli-style sliced ham), Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and yellow mustard. Of course, here in the US, the recipe is adjusted based on the location and available ingredients, but the core stays the same, which makes for a delicious sandwich. Cholita Linda's Cubano is made with pulled pork shoulder, black forest ham, mustard, pickles, aioli, and Swiss cheese on grilled French bread. Trust me when I tell you that it is a delicious version! Anyway, this location is very well managed and maintained. The staff are friendly and the place is clean and nicely kept. They have tables inside and outside the mall. On a warm day, you might prefer to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air while you eat.

    We frequent the Westlake Original Joe's, but decided to try the new Walnut Creek location since…read moreit's closer to home. The décor has a modern touch while still keeping the classic Original Joe's vibe, and I'm perfectly fine with the update -- it feels familiar but fresh. The food was the same great quality we're used to, and the service made our visit even better. Our waiter, Carlos, was amazing. We mentioned that my son had just gotten his braces on, and Carlos immediately connected with him by sharing his own braces journey. His beautiful smile and encouraging words genuinely made my son feel better and more confident. Carlos was attentive throughout our meal, and the drinks were excellent. Overall, Walnut Creek Original Joe's delivered the same great food we love with standout service that made our day extra special.

    Original Joe's is relatively new to the Walnut Creek area but not a new restaurant. I've always…read morewanted to go to the SF location but when the Walnut Creek location opened up I preferred this area due to it being closer to me. I made a reservation for 4 for dinner and the earliest I could get was 8pm. They have a strict policy that your whole party must be there in order to seat you, which I think is fair I ordered the crab cake ($26), which is one singular crab cake. It was very delicious with a creamy sauce but no where near worth the price. I also ordered the prime rib dip and truffle fries ($30$). The bread was soggy by the time it made its way to my table, I assume it sat for awhile before it was delivered to me. The food tasted pretty good but again, just not worth the price. The wait staff was friendly and got our orders correct. They were attentive to anything we needed. All in all, it's a good meal but I just don't think it's worth the hype or price. I'd rather go somewhere else.
