"I am obsessed with their Dubai Strawberry I think I've ordered it like 32 times. They make it to order so the strawberries don't get mushy. They're reasonable priced compared to a lot of locations in San Diego. They also have an amazing selection of unique drinks. 10/10 would recommend. Like I'll probably be there tomorrow :)"
"The wuality is great, would get again! The blueb Iced Blueberry Latte was flavorful and the Iced Habibi Latte was great also. The Dubai Strawberry tasted exactly like Dubai chocolate, but I wish there were more strawberries because there is alot of filling"

"The omelette was delicious, I recommend adding mushrooms to it if you like them! Was very flavorful and cheesy. Would recommend getting this item! Was very quick and efficient too. Good presentation, and everything tasted good!"
"This Dennys sold the Alvocado Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger with a single paddy of beef and missing onion and pickle; Onion rings were scalded, burned-over cooked. I bought the exact same order at the Santee store last Saturday with two pads of beef and all the other stuff at the same price. MESSAGE: Don't buy from this Dennys again!!! rmr"

"SOOOOO good and they gave me extra chicken! the fries were kinda cold when they came but tbh it was still rlly good my go to order frfr "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

"Potatoes were not greasy but nicely cooked. And thank you, Cook, for leaving the bell pepper out of the potatoes. You noticed that I asked for none in the Scramble. The Shasta Scramble was really good. Great food out of the last two visits. I'm impressed!! "
"I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and brown gravy with a side of white cheddar macaroni and cheese. The meatloaf had a good flavor and firm but not dry texture. It came with crispy onions on top and the classic ketchupy glaze. The potatoes were just mashed redskin potatoes nothing stood out but that's what I was looking for just a basic anywhere USA classic meatloaf dinner. It didn't disappoint. Would order again if I'm feeling a comfort meal and don't want to use the oven in the heat. It scratched that itch and the portions are large. I made two meals out of it. Corn muffin was nice and slightly sweet and moist also"

I decided to give them one more try and im glad it was at Einstein Bros! I ordered the Chorizo Sunrise Egg Sandwich and the bagel was so soft and delicious and easy to bite and did I mention delicious? I will definitly be coming back for more! "
"Highl recommend not getting the Texas Brisket Sandwich from this location. Liteterally less than half of the beef than i have received from the other two locations i visit. I thought the first time was a fluke. After the second time of getting about a 50 cent piece circles worth of beef on the entire bagel, that just not worth it. "

"Sausage & Egg Burrito was good, good size and double wrapped like I requested.
Good price compared to other places around."
"We literally order Ferny's at least once per week, and anytime we try a different shop for burritos, beans, and rice, we wish we would have ordered Ferny's. The beans and rice are perfectly cooked and seasoned. We usually each get a Crispy Potato Taco as a starter, and then we have part of a burrito. I get the Pollo Asado Burrito with some additions, and my hubs gets the Chicken Chipotle Burrito. The leftover burrito, Side of Beans, and Side of Rice become a whole second meal! Do not make the mistake of trying another taco shop...Ferny's is the correct answer! "

"This is my first time coming to Swami's and WOWWWW!!! The portion size is fantastic. You get more bang for your buck here. The food temperature was perfect! The Eggs Benedict were so creamy and tangy and my taste buds are just exploding from all the flavor right now. I also got the pastrami melt which I might have to save for later because it's so big. And although it's a side dish, the sweet potato fries were my favorite part. Whoever cooked this food, man.... I LOVE YOU."
"The Swamis Club was pretty big. Tasted pretty good. Fresh ingredients
The fries tho...Ehh
No seasoning and they taste sweet as if they fry a sweet or breakfast item in same oil
They do come free with the sub tho so I guess if you like the taste, just season at home
Overall 4/5
Would order again bc of sandwich size but I'd definitely get a different side like a salad"

"Everything delicious today. I had gorilla soup with lots of chicken and they give you the trimmings to add before you start eating
