Greeters were cool, but I could read lips when they were walking about. Some not-so-nice things were being said about whomever. We picked "Z" today because they had the Indy 500 on a couple of the bar area TVs. We had a distant peek at only two screens in-between other sports like women's field hockey on a couple other screens. I accomplished what I set out to do; watch a bit of the Indy 500. Mission accomplished. Z-Cafe is a good place to get the Sunday breakfast until 3pm and the lunch option after 11am. They do have a good and diverse menu. Do pay attention to the daily happy hour and daily early-bird specials. I'm not one to complain about much unless it is due. Today it is due. Today revealed some overhead dusting needed on the game kill busts along the walls, and the larger leafed indoor plants were in need of a wipe-down. Also, I went to open the Tabasco that was on the table. The wife looked down at the bottle and cap and was overly impressed by their cleanliness. I did point out to her, that it was a new bottle and the staff failed to remove the plastic "safety" wrapper. Ohhhh!, she said. We attempted to pay our ticket and waited close to 10 minutes before it was picked up. A manager walking the floors should have picked it up. What a great opportunity to make a bit of customer contact. Still a good place to eat. Let's hope it remains that way. By the looks of the crowd, it will. CritDicks

Now mind you, I don't give out 5 stars very often, but Backdraft deserves all five of them. Cool, friendly and attentive wait staff, every time we have been. Nice back area with seating is great with the nice weather. Vast selection of food options is great for many people, even finicky, picky people that you don't really like, but have to meet because your friend likes her. That's not the case today, but just saying. Also, the fire fighter theme is great and fun with the names of the food. Anyhoo, we ordered the Smoke Alarm Brussel Sprouts appy and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked sprouts, goat cheese, mustard drizzle. Not a huge portion, but was great for the two of us to share and still be hungry for lunch. The Biz Partner ordered a medium Code Blue pizza to have some to take home. The pizza is marinara, mozzerella, blue cheese crumbles, grilled steak, grilled onions, cilantro and house made. BBQ sauce. I did not try any, but he loved it and had enough leftover for him and his girlfriend for dinner! It was a LARGE medium pizza. Speaking of large. I picked the Hotshot Italian Sub and decided to get the 12" so I could also take some home, figuring I would eat the 6" if I just ordered that. Now, I did not measure it, but when it came out, it did not seem like 12", you know like SW "foot long". It was cut into 4 huge pieces and each seemed like 1/2 a SW large sub. I ended up eating only one of the 4 portions that arrived. Ate it for lunch the next two days! The Hotshot is a great italian sub, one of my favorite sandwiches. It is Honey Smoked Ham, Salami, Pepperoni, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions, smeared with mustard and mayo and then drizzled with Greek Style house dressing. I ordered it hot and on a white roll (the only way it should be prepared! IMHO). Damn fine sandwich and at "12 feet" long (ha, ha!) it feeds a bunch of people or me for three lunches. Service is so good and attentive. The waitress got her workout refilling my diet cokes as after eating we stayed and did some business. She always checked on us and did not care how long we stayed. So awesome, I wish I had gotten the names of the servers. This was Tuesday, 3/24/26 at noon. So, you know who you are! GO! EAT WELL!! BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF!!! HAVE FUN!!!!

The restaurant is really well fire-department-themed, especially the outside patio! The service here was fantastic during my visit; we were seated in the outside patio and the gas tank to their heater was out, quickly an employee was sent to buy a new one! Within minutes we were accommodated with a comfortable dining experience! S/o to our server Kayden who was fantastic! He was so patient and helpful! He was so kind to take the time to share some history of the restaurant! I had the Slop-Over Chicken & a little taste of a burger, while both items was good, I think their specialties lay in other dishes. Our whole table agreed their salads is where it's at!

This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

Saw the beautiful wild Alaskan salmon and finding out they caught it themselves had to get some. Looking forward to going back sometime. Very clean, friendly, interesting vibe.

The food tastes genuinely homemade and wholesome, like real care went into every step. I was a little worried the Deli Rose sandwich might be heavy, but it was absolute perfection. Rich, balanced, and incredibly satisfying without weighing you down. The chips are freshly made and so crispy and delicious, the kind you keep reaching for. The iced green mate is grown and prepared by them and is smooth, refreshing, and genuinely calming. You can taste the intention behind everything, from the house made breads to the home grown vegetables and simple, wholesome ingredients that let the food shine. There is a religious or communal aspect behind The Yellow Deli, and I do not claim to know or understand all of it, nor do I need to. What I do love and admire is the home grown, homemade, back to nature feel of their community and how much of that care and love clearly shows up in the food, the space, and the overall experience. This is not a loud or rushed deli. It is a place to sit, linger, and enjoy. The patio is charming, the yellow building is iconic, and the service is warm and kind. You can tell the people here truly love what they do, and it shows.

The food is always so good. The young man who took our order was nice. My daughter and I sat at a table and got our drinks. I ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 to sit and eat and the 3rd to take home to my son. He loves board and brew. The problem began when Ashley, a worker came to our table and gave us two baskets with half a sandwich in each baskets. I told her "Sorry but this sandwich is not ours, I ordered 3 sandwiches, she looks at me and rolls her eyes and say,"No you didn't you guys are sharing one sandwich" Again I tried to tell her and she has the nerve to say "Look I'm trying to make you understand that you guys are sharing a sandwich, she turns to walk off and I grab my receipt. I told her here is my receipt, I hand it to her and the only thing she says, "well I guess someone made a mistake. She gives me the receipt and walks away???? No apology! Ashley's tone and demeanor was so disrespectful and I truly don't understand why she acted this way. She was so confrontational, I don't understand why? I've never encountered such a rude employee at board and brew to the point my daughter was tearing up, how rude she was to us. Another young man came to bring us the correct order. I thanked him and asked him what was the young ladies name? He told me "Ashley, Why? I didn't want to upset my daughter anymore, by telling him what just happened. I just told him, I want to know her name. I couldn't eat my lunch, I was so upset my daughter was so upset. We grabbed our lunches and went home. I've never been talked that way and so rudely. This type of unpleasant and unprofessional behavior & attitude is uncalled for. Do better board and brew. I'm so disappointed and will never spend my money at this location, ever again.

You snooze, you lose. (Funny note: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of chicken and that I would get extra pulled pork. When I got home, I found a large piece of chicken.) The best option is the Sampler plate. You get six different proteins, three sides, and three Hawaiian rolls. The proteins are chicken, hot link, tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. I thought all of the proteins were very good but I especially loved the hot link. I could have eaten three of these alone. The sides are also very good. The mac and cheese and potato salad--both clearly house made--were excellent. The house made beans were ok but a little hard. I didn't love them. They have three BBQ sauces to choose from (spicy--marked with a giant "X" on the little cup, sweet, and regular. They are all delicious but you really don't need any of them. That is a sign of good BBQ. The sampler plate gives you a ton of food. At $56, it seems expensive but it is not. This plate easily feeds three people and you will probably have some leftovers. I drove 30 minutes one way for this, waited about 15 minutes, and drove another 30 minutes home. It was very much well worth it. Good BBQ is hard to find in SoCal but it exists, if you make the effort. And this is very good BBQ at reasonable prices.

Crusty exterior with a fluffy interior that just melted! I think I scarfed down my sandwich a little too quickly because everything was balanced so well, and the bread absolutely divine. The soup was also great, and paired extremely well with the sourdough bread. I wished there was a location closer to me, however if I'm in the area I will always opt to come here!

Additionally, their sushi, smoothie bar and pre-made foods are top notch - they are MILES ahead of any of the "big" grocery stores. So the question is - if they are so great, why do they only have 4 stars on Yelp? One major reason is that they stretch their products. If you don't check the expiration date on every product you purchase, you will end up buying something months after it expired. I purchased a Brie-en-croute on sale for Super Bowl. I was so excited to try it. When I opened the box, the product had mold all over it. I looked at the expiration date and it was not supposed to expire for another week. Then I looked more closely. They had an expiration sticker that was on the box that had already passed, and then they put another sticker on top of that one with a different expiration date. That's not accidental - that's intentional. I definitely felt taken advantage of. Is it enough to make me stop shopping at Frazier Farms? Absolutely not. But, if this grocery outlet wants to improve, they need to look into why so many products on the shelves are expired. I understand not wanting to waste things. But you can't put new stickers on top of old stickers while selling a moldy product. I hope someone in management reads this review, and takes it seriously. I don't have time to go back to Fraziers every time I have to return an expired product. If that changes, I will change this review to 5 stars.
