"I dined at the restaurant shortly after the lunch rush on a Friday in May. Our server was outstanding, and we were fortunate to get a table instead of a booth. The bread we ordered was delightful and served in a basket. The menu had a wide range of options, including chicken, steak, salads, pasta, and seafood. I suggest trying something different that you wouldn’t typically prepare at home. Don’t forget to leave room for dessert, as it comes highly recommended. Our server also kindly packed up our leftovers and cheesecakes for us to take home, which was a nice gesture. The entrance doors are quite large, but some guests might need a little help getting inside. The restrooms were clean and well-kept, providing ample space for those with mobility needs. It's also worth mentioning that many servers were still wearing masks in May 2022."

"The seating area downstairs is quite lovely, situated right next to the ocean, which allows for a nice stroll before or after your meal. However, the covered section can feel a bit crowded, and the service was inconsistent. We received some poor recommendations from the waiter as well. The food was decent; we sampled the gobernador tacos, tacos de degustación, quesadillas, and guacamole. The cheesecake was probably the highlight, though it wasn’t exceptional. Overall, it was a bit disappointing."

"Lot of bad things with this place.1. The food just isn't up to par with other Mexican restaurants in the area. Tacombi is miles ahead in taste.2. The chips always taste stale. I've tried ordering them five times and they're always stale.3. They will mess up your online order consistently. All I ordered was a burrito and instead got the plate.4. The prices are very high compared to competitors.The only pros I can give this place is they're quick to make your order and the portions are somewhat big. Still wouldn't recommend going here over other places in the area."

"I recently had what might be the worst dining experience of my life at Lost Dog Cafe in McLean. Even a school cafeteria could serve better food. If it were possible to give zero stars, I would, but the friendly and attentive service earned the restaurant a single star. That kind lady might very well be the sole reason this place remains in business. **Atmosphere:** This cafe is conveniently located next to a Safeway in a mall, with plenty of parking available. However, the overall vibe felt run-down and gloomy. **Food:** We were looking for a dog-friendly cafe and had heard mixed reviews about Lost Dog, so I had high hopes—especially since it’s a chain. We ordered the Crab Dog Dip, The Fat Molly, and the Philly Philly, alongside some Dog Collars (their onion rings). Our total was around $48.18, and that turned out to be a pricey lesson in why certain places should be avoided. The crab dip was excessively oily with barely any crab present; it was just a mushy, greasy cheese blend. The garlic bread was dry and tough. The Dog Collars were poorly breaded, some were burnt, and the accompanying sauce was mediocre and greasy. Both sandwiches were a disaster! The meat was so dry that it could’ve been mistaken for jerky from medieval times, and the funky, gamey smell only added to the experience. The pitas and baguettes were stale and tough, the veggies looked discolored and old, and everything was under-seasoned—I felt like I was eating hospital food meant for low-sodium diets. Even more puzzling, the sandwiches were so greasy that oil dripped onto the tables and our laps. We found everything to be inedible. My boyfriend and I managed a single bite from each dish before we left, as our appetite had completely vanished. **Service:** The only redeeming aspect of our visit was the service. We dined on a Sunday around 2:30 PM, and our server was incredibly warm and caring, which included being very welcoming to our dog. Thank you for that! They do provide milk bones and water bowls for furry friends, so if you’re inclined to spend almost $50 just to sit on the patio with your dog, this might be the place for you. Overall, it was a terrible experience. I should have just opted for Subway and enjoyed a meal in the parking lot instead; their sandwiches actually taste like food."

"I loved this place I got the vegan California burrito (at least i think I did b/c I asked for a recommendation and just went for the first thing the waitress said) Anyways it was real yummy, there fake meat game was on point and the burrito was very spicy just like I like it (but for those not spice inclined be warned). Vibe was nice as well."

"Unfriendly business..!!! It's extraordinary how easy this restaurant loss customers. I walked in and 4 of the waitress (personnel) did not welcome me, except the rudeness blond person that say What you Want moreover, yelling from the frozen juice beverage to the cash register where I was standing by she said there is the menu..!! grab one . But I left the restaurant after I asked a question about the tacos and without any regret she said the menu explain everything"

"The Randolph Diner is not your typical American diner, but an expansive restaurant. It has two large floors with plenty of bright rooms full of seating. I went on a Friday night, and it was extremely crowded. Given the situation, I was impressed that this restaurant is so well-run. I was seated quickly, the service was prompt, and everything came out fairly quickly. It’s not just the restaurant size that was impressive. The menu itself has so much to choose from no matter what you’re in the mood for. I ended up choosing the roast turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, mixed vegetables, and a salad. Everything tasted great and it was a very generous portion size. It’s a bit pricy for a diner, but then again this is nothing like your normal diner. I really enjoyed my dinner at the Randolph Diner and highly recommend dining here."

"After reading the reviews about the same thing on repeat along with the manager replying with the same answer as follows: Sorry for the disappointing experience, we will talk to the staff and improve communication that clearly isn't happening on any level. Honestly it's so sad that something so small can't get attention to be resolved and be able to improve business/customer service. Unfortunately I cannot leave less than a one star. Decided to go out for dinner checked in was told the wait was 30-40 we agreed to wait. After 30mins we started noticing people after us with large parties 6+ down to couples being seated, I went up to talk to the gal at the counter and got a bunch of excuses, the lady said well for some reason your name/number didn't register but it didn't take you off the list. I saw this and wasn't sure what happen...(so it didn't cross your mind to fix the issue? Just wait until someone comes up to question the wait? That's wild) So it's going to be another 20mins, we are quoting people 30-40mins. I fully understand what you are quoting people but all these people have come in after us and we are still standing here, not one single person left in this room came in before us. Just received more excuses!!! So my BF went up and talk to them to receive more excuses. She told him I am going down the list and you are next. She said at anytime you guys could have sat at the center section of the bar. As he replied at what moment was anybody going to mention that? From the time we checked in to going up to the front desk not once did anyone tell us that we could self seat in the middle. Right after he walked back over a couple was called back that came in much after us. So we walked out this place is an absolute joke and definitely needs to improve on customer service/communication on many levels!"

"I've been to Cheesecake Factory before a long time ago not this location however and wasn't really impressed with anything. In my honest opinion I always felt it was severely overrated, however I recently went to this location and my tune has certainly changed. I was able to make a reservation for two on a Friday night so there was zero wait and had a very nice time. The restaurant was very clean, service was top notch, staff were friendly and professional. The jambalaya I ordered was absolutely delicious and I would certainly order it again."

"Visited a couple of year's ago and discovered the revelation that is an oyster on hamburger! Hamburger was cooked to a true med-rare as ordered not overcooked like most places) and topped with a plump, flash-fried oyster very lightly battered) that pleasantly melted into the sandwich with my first bite. I remember those details bc since then I've debated coming back, not wanting to ruin that specifically delicious gastronomic memory. I broke down and risked it today while visiting SF, and remain very happy! Oyster was not as plump, but then not all oysters are created equal. Nice hint of horseradish in the aoli. It's more costly than I usually spend on a hamburger $18), but the meat is fresh, local and totally worth it. Comes with a tasting of their cole slaw, so I didn't really need a side order of anything. Plan to return tomorrow b4 leaving town bc I want to try their liver and onions."

"I've enjoyed takeout all through the pandemic and visited with my family to eat in last weekend. Father's Day, right before Juneteenth, and we were able to get a table for 5 without reservations for an impromptu dinner on the patio. Absolutely fantastic food, from our spinach dip appetizer to the lasagna, fettuccine, veggie pizza, and salad. Dillon was a GREAT server, very quick, great communication, and didn't bat an eye despite us all arriving at different times. He was quick to anticipate needs, brought out silverware and extra plates when he knew dishes were being shared, and overall made this a great experience. I knew the food here was delicious and fresh, and having such wonderful service made it that much better!"

"Always impressive, always busy, but always amazing in taste. People who know about this place will wait in line because it's the best. For all of us out of town'ers, definitely a place to try for lunch or dinner. The food is top notch. I've had everything on their menu, but I tend to gravitate towards their Enchiladas and their Tacos. The Lingua Taco is to die for and their Carne Asada is vee delish. Once you walk in, BAM you're welcomed with a smile and that amazing aroma of the grill. I visited them again today after being out of the country for 5 months and the first place I went to, before heading home to my family, was Pancho Villa Taqueria in San Mateo. Cheers..."

"These were the worst wings I’ve ever had. They basically heated up Tyson chicken strips but the chicken was weird and stringy. The ranch was watery and slid right off the celery when I dipped it. Avoid the nachos at all costs. Instead of cheese these culinary geniuses decided to cover the chips in dog food quality steak and the longest strings of lettuce I’ve ever seen. Seriously, these things were like a foot long. They sent me a cup of jalapenos that were thicker than a double stuffed oreo and slipped some random carrots in there. It’s honestly comical how bad this place was."

"Amazing salsa !! Great service and a fun environment !!! But they need better chefs with more than one cooking style who know how NOT to overcook all the meat they offer. ALL dishes taste very similar! All with burnt burn marks on "whatever" meat, mixed with similar spices and all well done to finish cooking. The burned cremation, like a fajitas, but for every dish? This is the second time that I had to come here with the same results ... I refuse the next time I am invited ... Maybe have a drink because the mood is good and fun ... she just need better cooks ..."

"We’re huge fans of authentic Mexican food, however this experience fell a little short. Waitress and hostess were friendly and attentive. Margaritas were great and chips and queso were good. Unfortunately, salsa and burritos fell short of flavor I usually can’t handle much heat and the salsa with heat and the mild salsa both had very little to no flavor mild salsa seemed like crushed tomatoes from a can. The food didn’t taste bad, it just lacked the flavor we’ve known to love about authentic Mexican food."
