"I met up with a good friend for Taco Tuesday at this restaurant. It was packed, but we managed to find some seats. Most of the seating is outside the building, giving it a relaxed backyard vibe. They have weekly specials from Tuesday to Friday (you can see the menu in the photos). The service was great - friendly and down-to-earth. The staff explained everything well when we had questions. The tacos were smaller than expected but packed with flavor, and we appreciated the variety of options. The Poki Ahi was fresh, savory, and delicious. My personal favorite was the Chorizo cheese fries - everyone in our group couldn't stop eating them. The root beer float was large and beautifully presented. Overall, it's a great place to grab a drink and some tasty food without breaking the bank. I can't wait to go back."

"My young daughters and I went into Big Jim 's for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day for sitting out back on their shaded and very clean patio. The atmosphere was very nice upon entering and we loved the patio, but decided to move inside so they could look at the gorgeous butterfly photos on the wall. We ordered a kids quesadilla that ended up being big enough to share, but was so tasty, they didn 't want to! It came with homemade potato chips that were the best I 've ever had! I ordered a chef salad and it was HUGE! It was like a work of art! I had to take pictures of it next to my daughter, so you can see how big it is! I was so happy with the size of it, because every ingredient was so fresh and delicious, I was super excited to have enough left to share AND have leftovers. I would definitely recommend getting the whole salad for yourself so you can do this too! No sharing, no half salad , just do a whole so you get seconds, because it 's that good, you 'll want it for yourself. Haha! I also ordered a side of fries after putting in my initial order, and they came out fast, HOT, perfectly seasoned and slightly crispy. PERFECT. Fries are a huge thing for me at a restaurant, and they passed that test! Big Jim came out to ask how things were, and he was very kind and pleasant to talk to. His wife Jill was working as well, and she was also a sweetheart and very attentive and thoughtful. The restrooms, restaurant, and patio were SPOTLESS. They also had coloring books and crayons for my kids and were so gracious about how messy and loud they ended up getting . We even met another family while there and became friends! Thank you, Jim and Jill, for welcoming us to your place! We will definitely be regulars now, and I 've already been telling my friends! I literally can 't wait to go back and try more of their delicious menu!"

"I've eaten here three times, 2 times delivery and 1 time dine in. All three times were exceptional. My last experience, dine-in, was the icing the cake! The food was a great temperature, service was fast and attentive, and restaurant was very clean. I ordered the baby doll sushi roll, since I absolutely loved the golden California from one of my deliveries, and of course that tasted very yummy too. My partner always gets the chicken fried rice and puts spicy mayo on top, of all the the (three) times he has ordered it, they all come out tasting amazing (consistency is important). This is definitely a place that feels very relaxed and laid back. I'm a Waraii Sushi customer for life!"

"The 4 star review : If you want a cozy spot with outstanding coffee, desserts and food this is the place to go! Morning coffee or evening stop it's one of my favorite places. I've had their French press Italian, espresso, oat milk latte, whole milk latte, and my most favorite drink their skybound dark chocolate mocha. You will never find another mocha like theirs! Creamy and super decadent and rich, and just an all around dream when you need a mocha! They make their own powder and you can taste the quality. Their employees are super sweet, their manager Aaron is great and they really care about your experience there. 10 out of 10 recommend! The 1 star lost : recommendations I think the ambiance could be updated to provide a more clean and a more maximized space! The wood touches and shelves are sooo nice, don't change those! But the mobile order sign, general upkeep of ac vent dust and other containers could be cleaned. The succulent wall could be revamped easily. And the handwritten signs could be updated to printed and give it that next level professional look! I would love to see the photos be updated or placed as well, since as every space needs updating after a while. Smaller things like the open sign be moved or updated cords be hidden in the ceiling vents place dirty sample spoon cup with a darkly color real container would be things that would just add even more to the incredible experience!! The last and most important thing I'd love to see is for the music to be more consistent when you're at your visit. I've had multiple coffee dates with friends or family or my husband and the music can changes vibes too many times. It's worth the investment to provide a singular channel, jazz indie instrumental lofi club, to give the customers a more comfortable time while talking or studying. That's one detail I notice and pay attention to wether a clothing store or grab and go deli, it makes a difference and would be a worthy investment!This is one business I will continue to support and want to see thrive! Bring your friend, visit soon!"

"Can’t afford you anymore. I took my friend there last night for dinner for helping me with my pets while I was gone and their prices are now exorbitant. Alfredo dinner was $25. That literally used to be $14 for the dinner. We almost walked out. I had a six dollar salad. I usually love their blue cheese dressing, but it tasted nothing Like blue cheese. I know their cost of goods have gone up but it’s also a lot of pasta and dough. I love to support mom and Pop places, but I won’t be going back at those prices."
