"When I think of breakfast I don't usually think Nation's. That was a mistake. Ordered a MEAT & CHEESE OMELETTE (ham & cheddar) with French toast instead of hash browns & toast and there is the option to add blueberries, which I did. Everything was delicious! No syrup needed for the French toast and the omelette had ample ham and cheese. I think the price is fair for what you get."
"My chili cheese fries were once again delicious as expected. I love them topped with the chopped onions. When I opened the box, I was delighted to see what I saw. I took a picture of it so you all could see it too. Nation's does a great job with its chili cheese fries."

"Love this place and the salads are so bomb; always accommodating their customers as well , this is not the usual cold chicken , this one is hot fresh and juicy."
"The Spicy Eggs breakfast sandwich was really tasty. The tomatoes were evenly sliced and juicy, there was plenty of cheese, and the sausage had a nice bit of spice. The brrad here is the real winner though. I can tell that they pride themselves on having good bread because it took the sandwich from good to excellent."

"As usual, we were not disappointed. Catfish was absolutely delicious. I'm gonna still complain about the small hush puppies. I like them larger cause they're so delicious but even if they're not, I still eat them and they're still quite tasty as you can see my tickets monthly says nothing with Southern chicken Southern comfort kitchen rather so I'm like many others at one of your most loyal customers so I think about making those hush puppies larger as I totally love them as I do the Catfish my cholesterol and went up eating so much Catfish there but I'm still eating that Catfish keep up the good work, gentlemen and good cooking. You all do love love to all LJ."
"I ordered the 50/50. The Shrimp were smaller than I thought they should be. Plus, there were 3 pieces of Cat Fish, one of them had big bones in it and the meat inside mushy/real soft. It didn't even taste like the other 2 pieces.For $20.00 I expected pieces to be better size wise."

"First time here and wasn't sure what to expect because I've tried smash burgers at a few other places and been a little disappointed, but these are AMAZING. The Baydestrian burger was super flavorful, the fries were hot and crispy, and their sauce is reeaally good. Even came with a cute little mini cheeseburger gummy in the bag. I'll definitely be back!"
"This was my first order from smack burgers and it was for breakfast. I had a Smackrrito with bacon and avocado added, an order of tots and an OJThose were the BEST tots I've ever had. They cook them crispy at Snack Burgers. They were crispy crunchy perfection. Every other place I've had them they ve been soft . These that Snack makes were like wow . I never knew tots could be this good. The Snackrito was very good too. it was a lot of food. When I took it out of the bag it was heavy. so you're getting your moneys worth with one of those. enough for two meals and for me I'm kind of a light eater these days. I'll probably get three out of it The bacon in the Smackrrito was perfectly  crispy. Thank you to Whoever is doing the cooking there, you killed it yo. I love crispy bacon The only thing you could do that could improve the experience is I found myself wishing I had pico de gallo in the Smackrrito. Something to brighten it up a little bit that would've made it like 10 stars. Also, your drink election isn't exciting. I really wanted to get a Toguvera drink and the only place I know to get it is is it Egg Happiness? I almost got one of their scrambled egg breakfast burritos which are super good but I decided to switch it up and try you guys today so I'm glad I did but I just wish you had if you had yoga Vera I would've been so happy that drink is so good. They had they have mango there and it has a little bit of aloe Vera in it which I didn't even know that was the thing that they hit pop in your mouth they're so good sweet refreshing so your drink selection was a little boring. Idon't like orange juice in general only fresh squeeze so it was very underwhelming. And coffee would've been great too. But otherwise ya'll killed it. And I really liked the sauce y'all make. Even though I was really jonesing for pico de gallo in my Snackrrito that sauce is good. I recommend this place to everybody and I will eat there again. I'll even try your burgers. Oh that reminds me. Y'all should make a breakfast burger with a fried egg. That would be an awesome option for breakfast. I found myself that would've been a great breakfast option. Five stars thank you for the great breakfast today. See you soon.!"

"The chicken I got was so dry and so not fresh. I order a type of lemonade but instead gotten root beer. Even the fries were way too salty. Just everything about it was not good.

"Ordered from Gold Bean Cafe for the second time. I got the Any Bagel W/ Spread again but this time the jalapeno and cheese and liked it better than the plain. Also the Tropical Smoothie and it was just as delicious as the last time. Sure, they're on the spendier side but the quality of ingredients is high so worth the extra money. I really like this cafe."
"Loved the Cookie Butter Latte. It was a delicious treat. Needs stirring before drinking! The BLT Sandwich with everything bagel was good, though the bacon seemed suspiciously similar to microwave bacon. The sauce is on it was great and I would've loved even more if it! Elote-Bites was a great portion size for a snack. More like a meal and I had to take a few bites and save it for later after the sandwich. I had mayo/chili/lime and the lime slice was much too thin; could not even grip it to squeeze it on. I love lime so that was very disappointing to not really get any of the flavor from it. The amount of cotija was excellent!! I would absolutely order from here again, but would love the chance to get more lime on the Elote-Bites."

"We ordered two King Classic with fries. Both were hot, perfectly seasoned, and fully king sized as ordered. I only wish they would cook their Steak fries a little more. Nonetheless, they were cooked far more than any other time I've ordered them."
"My favorite cheesesteak place in Oakland. Great flavor and texture everytime I order a cheesesteak. Onion rings and steak fries are always on point. Sometimes they forget the ranch but I've ordered the food 20+ times, only 2x have they forgot my sauce. Love this place. Highly recommend trying this place out."

"Always love getting food here. It's always good quality with the salsa to pair with it at its best. I prefer the 4 piece meal combos with a drink and corn tortillas but i also enjoy the nachos and burritos to something about it with the Smokey flame grilled chicken that makes them pop. The quesadillas are just as good especially the street corn one wich took me by surprise on the taste. I thought it be worse but it wasn't at all. Flavor wise everything is good and pairs well with what gets added. I usually will change something on items or add more of something depending on what I grab. Service is always excellent and quick here very accommodating to if you have issues. Door dash or picking up myself both processes is smooth and well worth coming to or ordering from!"
"The nachos were very filling and the toppings lasted through all the chips. Churros were crispy and sweet! I haven't had a good churro in a long time, so glad I got them! Double chicken bowl was packed with good stuff and I was surprised at how heavy it was! The rice and beans were well cooked and not mushy."

"They got the best deal for any family meals I've ever seen. I have ordered numerous times and always delivered with deliciousness. "
"Legs and Thighs Chicken Bucket I ordered the Legs and Thighs Chicken Bucket, but it was given to us in a plastic bag instead of a bucket. That was a little concerning, especially with hot food sitting in plastic. My kid even mentioned BPA, which made me question the packaging choice. The bigger issue was the chicken itself. I understand chicken can be dark, but this looked and tasted burnt — not just crispy. It had that bitter, overcooked flavor. On a positive note, the carnitas were perfect. Flavor, texture, everything was on point. So it’s clear the kitchen can get it right. Just hoping for better consistency and proper packaging next time."

"good eggs and pancakes. but you may want to consider adding a bit to the price and have bacon that you cannot read a paper through. seriously up the thickness on the bacon. pretty please."
"Happily had the option to order from the Marina JITB. They always get the order correct and never forget utensils or condiments, as is my continual experience at the other local JITB. Double Bonus Jack® Combo is a good value. I tend to opt for the iced coffees, which gift a strong buzz. I prefer the caramel to the vanilla sweet cream. I love that JITB offers fresh salads. I'll often order the side salad, but today ordered the Garden Salad w/ Crispy Chicken for dinner later. These are always good so I got this for dinner later. The Pumpkin Spice Mini Churros are a tasty alternative to the regular churros."
