    "Pulled pork with coleslaw"
    Sofia N.

    If you do go here. Stick to the salads. Pretty much everything else is disappointing and bland. Like have the workers even tasted the dishes and what they are serving people? I would know I've been a professional sandwich maker for years don't make a dry sandwich. Like call me and I'll teach your staff how to make one?? Also. I'm not expecting the best quality of food. It's a college run chain with cheap alternatives. But at least make it taste good. I've tried the crispy chicken sandwich. Asked several times for a different bun but still got the onion one and I did not have time to wait another 20 min so I just went with it. Tater tots are fried too long and poorly so it's mostly just dry oily potato and like 3 small chunks of potatoes inside that haven't been fried. Bleh Burgers are also dry and bland. I get it, they're like $2 and you can drench it in condiments if you want to. but you can also walk over to McDonald's and get a better one for $1. Decided to go with a pulled pork sandwich this time and OH BOY JUST DONT GET IT. it says it has bbq sauce and COLESLAW. there is no slaw. Just a few pieces of LETTUCE tossed in some bbq sauce. Also the bbq sauce is only on the "French roll" or as I'd like to call it, dry roll. Sauce is not mixed in with the pork and there is not enough on there making the whole sandwich very dry.

    Arbor Grill is probably my second favorite place to eat on Campus. Not only do they have snacks and pre-made food but they also have fresh to order food. What they have . . . Personal Sized Pizzas: decent Fresh Tossed Salad: refreshing, better than the packaged salads Potatoes (plain, broccoli, or loaded): more bang for your buck Sandwiches and Subs (tuna melts or Reubens): decent Hamburgers, hot dogs, and sausages: ahh they have better ones at the pub and much, much more. Location The Arbor Grill is right across Juniper Hall which is convenient for us Business Majors. They have a ton of outdoor seating, some of which are shaded by umbrellas or trees and some of which are surrounded by their mist systems for those hot valley days. Overall They are fairly fast depending on what you get, they have a ton of seating, and a lot of options. So, overall The Arbor Grill is A-okkk for me. Tip Don't buy the "Bestway" products (premade salads, sandwiches, or pastas) it's not worth the disappointment or the price.

    Let me start by saying I'm disgusted at the idea of salad, but this place right here is one of the few that make salads delicious.

    I went here for a late lunch a few days ago. It wasn't busy since it was a weekday. I copped a…read moresquat at a high top table and perused the menu. The drinks looked good but I decided to save some calories and just had a glass of water. For food I started with clam chowder. I'm thinking it was a special since it was on a piece of paper on the table. It came in a bread bowl...it had lots or clams, bacon and potatoes. It was delicious. It could have been a meal with a small salad. So for my entree I had the lobster Mac and cheese. It was good as a well. Ooey gooey and seasoned nicely. I was almost full from the chowder so only at about 1/3 of it but would definitely recommend. It was my first time coming here and I'd definitely return.

    Honest review…read more.... Beer options - 5/10 They were aiming for local brews but honestly, not the best options. Food - 7/10 For pub food, it's not bad but not great. Service - 5/10 I'm not sure if they were just so understaffed or what was going on. Food took forever to come out & it seemed as if there was only 1 waiter for the entire restaurant. She also had an ugly attitude. Price - 2/10 Honestly for pub food, it's way too overpriced. You're paying West Hollywood prices in the valley, probably more. I hate that each sandwich/burger is $15+ à la carte. Ridiculous! Cocktails - 2/10 Ordered an old fashioned multiple times & each time it was too heavy on the bitters. Gross! Ambiance - 6/10 It's a cool dive bar feel but the TV sound could've been on for the ball game. OVERALL - 6/10 It's way too overpriced to even want to come back. The food is mid, and just not worth the price. The beer options also are not it. Cocktails aren't great either. Probably wouldn't come back.

But we have been coming less and less because the service is abysmal. There was a time where we gave our phone number and were never actually put on the list. Then there was a time we made sure we were on the list and after a 40 minute wait we checked in with the front just to be told the system went down and we lost our place. Beyond that the servers would just never come around to check on us. In fact I am currently writing this while still waiting for the check we asked for 10 minutes ago. For the entirety of the dinner our server only checked on us twice after ordering and one of those times it was only because we flagged someone else down. He never even refilled our drinks till we asked for the check, which we are still waiting for.... **update** We got the check 17 minutes later after flagging someone else down.

The chicken was…read morevery moist and well seasoned, the rice is always a great filling side especially when you're starving. Don't even get me started on their little fruit bowls with the cream ball thing and Nutella sauce dip they serve with the breakfast! Drinks are phenomenal. I'm a huge sweet cream type of girl, so the butterscotch is my go to. I'm a creature of habit and I highly recommend this drink to anyone who has a sweet tooth with a coffee addiction. Don't get me started on how nice the place feels and looks inside. Like a lot of people described, it is super cozy and welcoming. They have a big mirror near the entrance you can take pictures with your friends at, and as a girl, I looove it haha. There's two levels, like a loft area you can chill at if you like towering over all the other customers. I love high places so that's my favorite spot to chill. The store itself is very well themed and the decore is pretty cool. Service was even better. The good looking guy with curly hair (I think his name is Luis) who serves me on occasion is always so sweet and polite, great customer service skills. Too bad for me he has a gf, but we looove a loyal king who loves his girl! The other employees are great too btw everyone has a great attitude every time I've been, they handle the stress of the rushes well and are easy to relate to. They make it feel less as a transaction, and more like seeing a friendly acquaintance you get to catch up with. Clearly Yellowhouse has employees who know what they're doing with being not only efficient, but delivering quality drinks and service. Great all around, 10/10 would recommend.

    Parking: This Cafe is off Reseda not too far from CSUN. There is no dedicated parking lot that I…read moreknow of. If you cannot get street parking in front of the cafe, you are better off parking in the Harbor Freight parking lot off Nordhoff and taking the 2 minute walk. Yellow House is nestled between other small businesses but you won't miss the entrance as it is highlighted by a big yellow wall. Ambiance: The exterior of the building almost plants the idea that the cafe will be small, but once entering the building you get a different feeling. The interior is spacious even having 2 stories. The interior exudes a calm, cozy, minimalistic feel. It really does feel like you are walking into a warm inviting yellow home, albeit a little loud and busy. There is a good amount of natural light coming from all the windows and depending on the time of year, they also decorate for each holiday. Drinks: We have gotten the tiramisu iced latte, creme brulee matcha, Earl grey Matcha, and Strawberry matcha, and sea salt caramel americano. Order all drinks half sweet or you'll get a cavity- heed the warning of this tooth fairy. But in all seriousness, their drinks are SWEET so be aware. All of the drinks taste like what they advertise though which is amazing! If you're looking for top tier matcha quality this isn't the place, this isn't Rocky's matcha but if you're in sheer desperation and ache for some green drink derived from leaves, it'll work. Service: Everyone is nice and the drinks come out pretty quickly considering their crafted nature. Overall: There's a reason we keep coming back! It's reliable, has lots of cool varieties, and consistent! Although I will say a bit overpriced, but that seems to be everywhere these days so eh.
