"Party of 2 was the perfect portion/serving and meats full of flavors 🤯 the slaw was fresh, bacon potato salad more tart over sweet to my liking, and beans were killer just like the name with the complimenting Texas toast adds a nice crispy crunch of carbs. I added 1/4 lb Brisket to make for an even better 🤯 I would most definitely order again!!!"
"What a tasty meal for the Fourth of July without all the cleanup. All the meat was delicious, the cornbread was awesome too. Plenty of food for four adults. We will definitely order from Del's next time we want BBQ."

"Delicious and quick food! Ordered a few times & great! Alabama Rotisserie Chicken so much food and so good. The Baked Cornbread is amazng! Dont share!! And the burnt Brisket Burnt Ends & Jalapeño Mac 'n Cheese yum!! Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. "
"Brisket was just okay, pretty dry, with very little flavor. Made it even worse they forgot the bbq sauce.The bun was crisp and soft and had soaked up a bit of brisket flavor. Over all there’s better brisket sand which’s out there. Now for the cornbread, oh boy ! The worst cornbread I’ve ever had, soggy, flavorless, weird chunks of who knows what. Looked like an infected SpongeBob. Maybe it needs to be eaten hot and fresh, no delivery for cornbread is something I’d look into or swapping containers so it doesn’t arrive like a wet bag."

DO NOT SKIP THE MAMA'S LOVE SAUCE!
It's a total game changer, haha!"
"The BMH sandwich was great! There was a good ratio of protein to veggies. Their red onions are cut nice and thinly and they include a good amount of mayo in te sandwich. They included the dressing on the side so my sandwich didn't get soggy.
The Cobb Salad was a good size but the amount of dressing they gave me for the salad was extremely tiny. You should definitely ask for extra dressing if you do not like a dry salad."

"I think this is my 4th time ordering from Island Spice and it's perfect every time. The portions are great, the flavor is amazing, and they try to honor special requests. The Oxtails were great, so was the Curry Goat! Some pepper seeds would nestle into a bone of the goat, and it was a nice spicy surprise. I really can't get enough of the Plantains, and this is my first time getting the Beef Patty from here, and it's even better than the chicken patty (that's already pretty bomb) in my opinion"

"So happy this place is right near the naval base. The food is delicious. I get the Oxtail Dinner and it's really yummy. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the rice is absolutely wonderful! They also have baked macaroni which is so good! 10/10 would reccommend "
"Oxtail dinner. Each star is for each item on the menu. 1 star for the cabbage veggies, great flavor and cooked perfectly. I can't wrap my head around this plate. When I opened my plate it looked like the beef had been sitting out and the sauce dried up, the meat was crusted and stale. No flavor at all. The rice said seasoned but also it had no flavor and absorbed the sauce from the oxtail, again, like it had been sitting on their counter for a while. Mind you when i placed my order I was in their parking lot already and went in according to the time my food would be ready which was about 8-10 minutes. Platain was a platain. Nothing special about it. I also ordered a patty. The edges were hard to chew and almost had to pull away roughly to bite through them. And the size, I wouldnt be complaining had the patty been like 3 bucks and it was so skinny lol it's laughable. Such a le down. I was really looking forward go enjoying my meal. "

"Love Wingstop. Can sometimes be a little overcooked, but this time the boneless wings were perfection with enough sauce. We also tried the fries with the Cajun seasoning, came out tasty with a kick to it. We asked for fries to be well cooked, but they still came a little flimsy. The Boneless Meal Deal is always the perfect amount for us, 2 people. Will definitely order again, maybe next game nite!"
"I've tried Wingstop once before and wasn't that impressed. Figure I'd try it a second time after being told to try a dry rub. The first time the tender's were too soft, I had gotten medium and I just didn't really care for it. This time I got the Louisiana dry rub.. game changer. And I got the corn with the "Mexican Street Corn" rub.. broooother. Not to be dramatic but it was absolutely the move, so much so I needed to share publicly lol 9/10. Also their ranch is top tier."

"For anyone who is wondering if the BACON CHEESE FRIES is worth the cost...I'll admit I was suspicious, its not cheap and its not a big plate...but it was absolutely delicious and loaded with lots of real bacon and lots of layers of cheese. It was definitely made with tender love and care, and not just thrown together. So if you can afford it and you want to splurge on some luxury fries, these cheese and bacon fried definitely did not disappoint. Lots of places do cheese and bacon fries and most arent very memorable...I would say that these particular cheese and bacon fries from Duke's are some of the best that Ive ever had, definitely in my top 3 and maybe even the #1 slot now. The THE DOUBLE burger was also great as always."

"It was so delicious. I will ordering it again soon so I can do a review on tiktok. It was flavorful, yet not over powering. Even though the burber was well done, it was still juicy. The cheese was melted perfectly with the right amount of sauce, and mushrooms. The bacon I ordered on the side truly shined on it's own on the burger, but so did everything else. They all worked well. "
"Great new options good portions for the prices and excellent packaging! Awesome service all the way around. Thank you Applebees. I would order again and again"

"Every item was absolutely delicious, and fresh. The amount of food that you receive is more than worth the cost.
I can't decide if the Crispy Firecracker Shrimp or the Shrimp Fried Rice is my favorite. My Mom and daughter loved the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables.
We received all of the requested condiments, plates and utensils.
Will order again!"
"The quality of the food was noticeably poor today. We get this same order about once a month and usually love it. The veggies were discolored and sour, the meats were less crisp and more soggy. And they now combine the side and the entree in the same container, instead of individual boxes. I think that is what may have caused these problems. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. "

"This is my favorite chicken tender spot in SoCal! The tenders are thin and seasoned well with the perfect amount of breading. The fries are thin and crispy with great flavor. The waffle is always light and fluffy with the best buttery dressing. Highly recommend!"
"The food was very good. The portions were kind of small. The shrimp plate has like 6 small shrimp. The sauces are delicous. Even the herb mayo I would say is way beyond a mayonnaise. Different flavors of syrup would be cool. Unfortunately the bag was not tied up and within literally two minutes of my food being delivered a random dog came and ate one of the sandwiches. "

"omgoodness!!! my chicken nuggets were DELICIOUS tender and moist! my mashed potatoes seasoned. the biscuit small but mighty good. BRAVO. My son was a bit shocked at how lemon pepper his chicken was he loved the mango tea..THANK YOU, POPEYES"
"Ordered the Classic Boneless Wings with honey bbq sauce. I like Popeyes chicken but was a little disappointed with this as I thought the chicken would be tossed in the sauce. Instead they were just dry pieces sitting on top of a little bit of sauce in the container. Don't expect the pieces to be covered in sauce. Better off getting it on the side for dipping. The ad is pretty misleading. Coleslaw was ok. "

"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 :)"

"Im SD born and raised, been going to Filippis my whole life. Every time Im in town, I get a pizza. You dont need extra cheese. You can stretch that mozzarella across the table the way it comes . The dough is soft and melts in your mouth. The sauce is deep and adds so much to the flavor. 1 piece fills me up. Most are filled by 2. Worth it. You'll have leftovers. And I love popping those cold leftovers in the oven the next day. Just the best."
"Oh my gosh. This is completely filled with lasagna. Amazing great taste. I love it. Thanks for asking if need Parmesan cheese in your app. I'm an over the road truck driver so yes I don't have the luxury of carrying Parmesan cheese in my semi."
