"The Colorado Omelette was so good that I forgot to take a picture. I'm not a pancake person but the Cupcake pancake was the best"
"Salad was warm and lettuce was brown, all hot items were ice cold and a side of hash browns was the smallest side I have ever seen for 6.00 plus. Turkey looked nothing like the photo, didn't even recognize that it was turkey. Very angry and disappointed with this order. Never ordering from this restaurant again!!"

"The food arrived fresh and hot. The best I've ever gotten from here truly. The chow mein had lots of noodles and less cabbage. Usually it has so much cabbage I can't even eat it. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is they did not include sweet n sour sauce for the rangoons. That infuriates me. I need the sauce. I always think twice about ordering the rangoons because chances are they won't include the sauce. "
"Quality has gone downhill and the cuts of meat being used are less than ideal (the teriyaki chicken was slimy and rubbery, fatty bits in the orange chicken, etc) especially for the cost. Just not worth it anymore."

"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"

"You left a big chunk of shell on one of the hard boiled eggs. Good thing I inspect my food first before eating. And both pieces of pineapple in the fruit salad were rotten. You are the most inconsistent restaurant of all the ones I order from."

"Cali Breakfast Burrito said it had red salsa and green sauce...NOPE, also asked for red sauce to go with it, but NOPE. Barely any sausage. 90% egg, two slices of Avocado. also, have ordered this before and was JUST the burrito, which was correctly made that time, but this time came with rice and beans...was I supposed to have them last time since I ordered the EXACT SAME THING??? $21.00+?

"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! "

"The SW avacado shrimp salad was excellent. The lettuce was super fresh and actually had a crunch to it. shrimp were tasty and not overcooked with a light BBQ flavor. The best part is the large portion, which was enough for two ppl. Plenty of extra French dressing as well. This dinner is a keeper."
"The To-Go Chicken Pot Pie is creamy, tasty, warm. Corn Bread comes with it and is always good. The Razzleberry Pie slice sounded good (I've had it before) but it had a lot of extra crust and tasty sauce but just a couple of berries. As in less than 3."

"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"

"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."

There was so much guacamole in the Cheese Quesadilla that it fell out all over the place and the 4 Rolled Tacos was covered in flakey cheese and had a chalky texture and taste.

"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. "

"Yea ima just say it they got the best California Burrito in all of California. I cannot think of anything they could improve it's just a perfect burrito. It is a few dollars more than other taco joints but you get your moneys worth it is a large burrito. Tortilla is fresh and toasted to perfection, they use actual diced potatoes that melt in your mouth with so much flavor and without being greasy at all, the steak is seasoned well and has a nice sear to it, they use high quality Mexican cheese that stays melted 30 minutes after it leaves the restaurant, they also use real Mexican sour cream with the perfect amount. To top it all off all 3 of there hot sauces are perfect and the best ive had. You are missing out big time if you havent tried this place "
"Tortilla Soup is the best I've ever had. it's full of fresh veggies and is a good amount for the happy hour price. Chicken Taco (One Piece) did not come with the rice and beans and drink that it said it would. Taco was good, but needs to be priced different for one taco. Vegetarian Burrito was super good and fresh!"
