    3/28 around 2:30 or so. Dead, as most restaurants are…read morearound this time. Decent beers on draft. Ranch beans: 0/10 Corn ribs: good flavour, just serve the whole cob and save everyone the trouble. 7.8/10 Pork Belly: burnt, lacks flavour, could be cool. 4.2/10 Tri tip: it was like they put the smoke function on a low setting (yes, I do know how smokers work), but that's the best way I can describe it. 3.4/10 This place could probably be cool, but some attention is needed.

I'm so happy for a local spot like it here in our community from a team of people that are doing their best to provide an amazing experience for us locals to enjoy and not have to drive out of town for good food. We had a soccer party here for one of our kids and they were so patient and helpful to allow us to take up some extra space and provide an atmosphere that the kids were comfortable. Several of the lame one star reviews on this restaurant also leave one star reviews to most of the places they go. Don't buy the lie. This is good food from good people who do a good job. Thank you to the owner and operators of this fine establishment.

We visited Crooked Lane Brewery just to sample this family owned and operated food truck superstar. The sandwich board menu had some delish options so I'm thankful our party of 6 was able to order the perfect cross section of food. I chose the chicken philly, hubs got the ribs, kids were cheeseburgers all the way. My 75 years young aunt dared to try the jalapeño poppers. We all shared a bit to get a taste of everything. Chicken Philly was pretty darn tatsy. The bread was soft and fresh. I'm usually only a fan of the cole slaw I make but i had to try this bacon cole slaw. It was simply perfect! I would have never thought I would ever utter those words about cole slaw...pigs must be flying somewhere. Cheeseburgers were solid. Definitely a crowd pleaser. Poppers were good. Not the best ever but creamy and just enough kick. Ribs were "off the hook" said my grill master husband. He bbq's about 4 times a week and he can make anything on the grill taste fire!! No pun intended..so if he likes the bbq...I'm in! Great job you guys. Can't wait until next time.

Walking in, the place is so clean with friendly staff greeting and seating immediately. The menu has food plus ice cream- the only sadness being there are no onion rings or fried pickles... which was quickly forgiven due to the otherworldly in house made ganache and caramel.

    This is always a fun and very sweet place to come for an ice cream treat…read more It's always upbeat, casual and full of good energy... plus the ice cream is absolutely delicious. It can get crowded on weekends and when school gets out in the afternoon but otherwise it's not so bad. The service is always top notch and this time was no exception. The servers are so energetic, friendly and add to the fun, enjoyable atmosphere. This time I chose a Matthew's Small Sundae... not so small. Two mega scoops of ice cream of your choice (and there are a lot of choices!) plus your selection of a topping. This time I went with the hot fudge chocolate... oh my goodness, so GOOD! As usual the topping and whatever pours all over the sides of the glass on to the plate below which adds to the adventure of cleaning up the delightful mess, scooping up all that delicious topping! Overall really fun for a very filling treat. I still have not tried a sandwich here but they always look so appetizing when one passes by. I must try one. It's the concept of an old fashioned ice cream parlor and it does a great job at it. Parking is always plentiful.

    I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place. It is our favorite restaurant when visiting family up…read morenorth. We believe this place has the very best Chinese food in California. The customer service here is always above and beyond. No matter if it's two people, four people or twelve. They are always checking on you to see if you need more or if they can take away empty dishes. Super attentive. I have been eating here since I was 12 years old. We had a belated Mother's Day dinner here for my sister and reserved a large table for 12. When we showed up they already had complimentary waters served for us. They are so kind and patient with the toddlers and babies in our family. The portions are always generous here and I have never been disappointed with the quality. Our regular platters to order are the Kung Pao Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken Fried Rice, Orange Chicken and Honey Walnut Prawns. This time my brother ordered Pot Stickers and I really enjoyed those a lot!! If you are ever close to Lincoln, CA and want to try delicious Chinese Cuisine I promise you this is the place. Clean establishment with plenty more options than I shared. Delightful staff and good vibes.

    So incredibly disappointed after 10+ years as a faithful customer. Their General Chicken has always…read morebeen top notch, with the perfect crunch and flavor! But yesterday, everything was different. The crunch was gone, and what batter there was had no flavor or crunchy texture. Half the chicken had no batter at all. The sauce was sour, and the spicy kick I loved was gone. The dark brown coloring with that lovely hint of caramel was replaced with a rusty reddish orange sauce. I ordered takeout, and I decided to eat a portion in my car before driving home. I tried, I really did. After a few bites, I closed the container and drove home, and immediately tossed it into the trash. I understand that many restaurants are trying to hang on in this economy. Maybe Lincoln Chinese tried some less expensive ingredients instead of raising prices. I'm here to say, I'd happily pay more for the version that has been my signature order for many years. No other restaurant could top your former General Chicken. PLEASE bring it back! So disappointed.
