"Idk what cook was on the line today, but my steak was soooooo juicy, it was well done but amazingly packed with flavor and super moist!!! ...When you order steak you never know what you will get but thanks to the cook. CHEFS KISS!!! I'll definitely order again. Oh and the mashed potatoes were just as delicious."
"Absolutely shocked by how bad this order was. I spent over $70 on a very simple delivery order from the Applebee’s at 9255 and it was a complete mess. My steak with mushrooms and a potato arrived cold and basically inedible. The cut of beef is the most disgusting, veiny, low-quality piece of steak I’ve ever received from a restaurant. I’ll be uploading a photo. To make it worse, they smothered it in soggy, half-raw onions even though I specifically requested mushrooms. I understand onions are cheaper than mushrooms, but charging for mushrooms and covering the steak in wet onions instead is unacceptable. The smoothie they advertise all over the app that I ordered was also missing. The Dasher told me nothing was packed for a drink. When I called the restaurant, the manager Walter just told me to contact the app. Emily packed the order. The brownie bite dessert also came with a laughably tiny scoop of ice cream in what looks like a sauce cup. This isn’t the first time items have been missing from orders here, but it will absolutely be the last time I ever order from this location again. Completely unacceptable."

"NY born and raised and Joe's is probably the closest to NY/NJ Pizza I have tried in the LA area. I love all pizza but thier is a reason I still order from here after moving from Sherman Oaks to Northridge (of course I make it worth the drive with a very generous tip). Can't go wrong with anything off the menu, I particularly like just a plain cheese, Sicilian Slice, or the calzones/parm sandwiches. Canoli is pretty massive and worth the price for a njce dessert. 👌 if you are tired of chain pizza (nothing wrong with them either, just depends on what type you're craving), you should def check out Joe's."
"Cheese pie: crust tastes burnt, but feels wet at the same time. So what I have is a soggy burnt crust the texture of naan. Cheese is good. Calzone: massive disappointment. Wet dough, undercooked, and poorly balanced ingredients. Maybe a meat topping once every 3-4 bites. The rest of the time I was chewing on wet dough and a mouthful of bland cheese and sauce. Feels like a huge waste of money."

"I feel like not a lot of people realize this, but their wings are my favorite wings out of anywhere they're plump juicy and the hot honey wings are so fire. They are pretty hot but not crazy hot and they just taste so good. I get them at least once a week and their fries are some of the best tasting fries around. This is kind of a hidden gem. And this is not a paid comment I just really love them enough to leave this comment."
"I like wings and that's why I often order them. So I ordered the Mango Habanero and The Buffalo. 20 wings in total. BUY ONE GET ONE FREE - 10 PC CLASSIC WINGS The mango habanero arrived as ordered, but the Buffalo, was replaced, with what I believe, to be hot honey, not buffalo. it even has chili flakes on the wings. not what ordered, but it's really good, so it's okay. Just be advised, you may experience chicken wing flavor roulette, trust the chef, all the flavors have been good thus far.."
