"The ribs where so sweet and delicious. Sweet tangy barbecue sauce gives it the kick. Honestly this my favorite item on the menu. Fries and street corn are also my favorite sides. Best thing is you can also load your fries with cheese, chives, bacon, and etc. "
"The asparagus had an odd burnt taste. The mashed potatoes had the same burnt flavor, even though they were in a completely separate container. They tasted like they had been boiled together in the same pot. The steak was cooked properly, but the flavor was strange. It didn't taste like a ribeye steak should taste, or any steak for that matter."

"Shack Attack (Burger Combo) is an outstanding deal! Chili Fries were awesome and pretty big portion, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was great too. Thrifty ice cream is just the cherry on top of this place. Can't believe we've lived here for so long without trying Water Shack! 100% will be ordering again!"
"Instead of the pastrami melt I got the grilled cheese and added pastrami because I wanted American cheese. So glad sourdough was available. It was delicious. The chili fries were great and huge. I'll skip the one scoop sundae next time. There wasn't much peanut butter sauce."

"Practically everything they serve, including the excellent EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA with the included side of pasta, comes in a more than generous portion. Where every bite is delicious and the fresh bread helps you scoop up those last morsels of flavor from their range of exquisite sauces.
You really cannot go wrong with whatever you choose on this menu. We've tried a good portion of it over the years and it has only gotten better. Always using top quality fresh ingredients, Ciao is a staple of North County and we are lucky to have such an amazing and authentic Italian restaurant nearby!"
"Cold. Tough thick layer of cheese. Needed more noodles. Very bland. Disappointing and heavy. Lots of meat, but still no flavor. The huge portion of bread was the best thing. Heating it up will make it really crusty."

"Dude... the CATFISH DINNER tasted absolutely BOMB!!! I've had it fried and blackened... baked beans, potato salad and cornbread on the side. 2 big filets with plenty of sides = 2 full meals... I mean cmon!! Everything fresh. I don't order too much delivery food but I always look forward to Felix's and order it every couple weeks."
"Y'all... I flat-out cussed!! After one bite, I couldn't believe I had finally found a place serving actual soul food in the San Diego area, because finding real soul food has felt like searching for a unicorn wearing a chef's hat.
Then I found Felix's BBQ With Soul.
This North County spot is the real deal. Not "inspired by soul food." Not "California soul food." Real, authentic, made-from-scratch soul food that tastes like somebody's grandmother is back there running the kitchen with a cast-iron skillet and zero tolerance for shortcuts.
The catfish is the best I've ever had. Period. Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside. The fried chicken is absolute perfection, golden, crunchy, juicy, and everything fried chicken is supposed to be.
And every single side deserves its own standing ovation. The collard greens, black-eyed peas, and red beans and rice are all incredible. These aren't filler sides, they're dishes you could make an entire meal out of.
Then there are the fried green tomatoes. Bar none, the best I've ever had. Anywhere.
Every bite of this meal was so good that somewhere between the catfish and the collards, a word flew out of my mouth that would have made my grandmother raise an eyebrow.
The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the entire experience reminded me what soul food is supposed to taste like.
If you've been searching for genuine soul food in San Diego County, your search is over.
Five stars. Highly recommended. And yes... the food was so good, I actually cussed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"This place is great and has such a high quality when delivered. Their to go cocktails are delicious and super fresh. Although it is more expensive than ordering it in person it is definitely worth it to get nice, fresh made burgers delivered! "
"Extremely disappointed with this order from Eureka. My Cobb salad arrived with brown, wilted, deteriorating lettuce that clearly should not have been served.
Additionally, the delivery bag arrived completely open, despite having visible staple holes where it appeared to have been secured. While the food containers themselves were closed, one had what appeared to be a smear of cheese or dressing on the outside of the lid, raising further concerns about cleanliness and food handling.
Between the poor food quality, careless packaging, and overall lack of attention to cleanliness and freshness, this was an unacceptable experience, especially considering the price of the order. I expected much better quality control from Eureka."

"EXCELLENT French Onion Soup from Outback once again - the one thing I'm guaranteed to be able to eat while fighting multiple gut-related health issues, a total lifesaver for me. ALWAYS a deep, rich beautiful broth you wanna bathe in with onions so soft you could gum them without teeth but yet they're still super flavorful. I make this from scratch but Outback is the only place I've found who does it better than I, and I've never gotten sick from theirs. Ever. Not once.
Interestingly, tonight's order showed up with the Holland rusk and cheese on the side so I can melt it in whenever I decide to eat it. It usually shows up with the bread and cheese in the container but I do not care one bit, it's just as DELISH! It's also the ONLY bread that does NOT make this gluten-allergic freak sick AT ALL.
Thanks Outback! You're totally saving me! I'll be back!"
"Mushrooms were sad and small and they didn't include the sauce, about half the amount we used to get for $16, Bloomin' Onion® was a mess but tasted good."

"We order mexican food several times a week. Los Cabos has been our newest. Not one time have they ignored our comments, food is always piping hot and fresh. They are the one spot in Vista and around that we don't have to rely on the delivery driver to ask for our sides etc. Perfect consistent portions every time. Would I order again? Yeah, tomorrow!

Quality is always great though, unlike a lot of places it always tastes fresh and they read my custom notes and did the bread with butter on both sides which is highly appreciated. Would certainly recommend."

"The chicken is fire! Very tender and juicy and the strips are huge. I preferred the sandwich to the strips. I definitely think the mild is a little spicy compared to what mild is at other chicken places like this. My only complaint is that the seasoned fries were over seasoned and very salty. Could have been a one off, though. I will definitely order again to try the medium. "

Nope! The most food , the best price and the chicken is moist and delicious!
