"Food is fabulous. I have had their NY steak - several times - and they knock this one out of the park! Cooked to perfection- full of flavor-- mashed potatoes are just as good -- even the asparagus is fantastic-- crazy good food. I just love this place-- Bravo Water Street! "
"Ordered the Gouda Burger and added bacon. As soon as I opened it I was not impressed. The fries are basic, frozen fries. The burger had no condiments or lettuce on it. Sautéed mushrooms apparently means 3 mushroom slices, and the bacon I paid $5 to add definitely had been sitting around for a few hours and was pretty oily, tough, and sparse. Definitely not worth the money. "

"I absolutely loved the cobbler and 2 lbs of brisket fed 4 people and all of them were so full and if you order the heat at home Berry Cobbler they will fully freeze the ice cream so it stays frozen the whole way! The brisket was comparable to heaven and it was so tender and fatty but the non fat part was very lean but atill very flavorful, the flavor is balanced throughout the entire slice, the mac and cheese was so creamy and stayed warm through the whole car ride the coleslaw was a perfect balance of flavor and crunch. 11/10 stars would recommend"
"Wish I could give a better review. We normally love Mission St BBQ but tonight was a miss. The brisket was cut super thick with a ton of fat, and a very small portion compared to what you would get in person. Definitely not worth $23. The kid's meal was horribly burnt and I had to cut around a ton of char just to get to edible meat for them. The restaurant also gave us a potato salad side instead of mac and cheese, which was very clearly on the receipt. Please do better with to-go meals!"

"Two burgers, a large fry, and a shake - $70. Was moving all weekend, too tired to cook. Milady wanted a nice burger, so we indulged. Absolutely no world where these burgers are worth $20 each. "Crispy" fries were limp and soggy. Ranch tasted straight out of a middle school cafeteria. Doesnt accept Dash Pass. Prices are inflated through the app. I get it man, restaurant margins are tough and DD doesn't help. Still. First and last time ordering Betty's - absolute rip off.

"This Jbox is far superior than the one in Santa Cruz. Always fresh. Rat meat tacos are the best!😎👊"
"I really need to stop trying the food here over & over, hoping it will go back to even a tiny fraction of edible & even good again. The insane prices for any burger here alone is hard to justify for fast food, but when the meat is severely rubbery, burnt to hell, somehow devoid of flavor, my bun was awful, stale, rock hard - there is no way it's brioche. imo misrepresentation of their products it's a joke. We can find better food at real restaurants, costing half the price, tasting better in every way, & the quality between the two is so drastic. (even frozen ones!)
curly fries still the best + these Pumpkin Spice Mini Churros are ridiculously delicious. Interesting the juxtaposition between those & the burger 🤷🏻♂️
if they weren't one of the only options here after 10pm, I wouldn't have bothered. Would not order again in the future.
somehow got 3 bags of the churros. swear I only ordered 2, so if I got 1 free somehow, that's cool at least ig (but the burger price ruins it)"

"I don't know if it was the day or time (Tuesday at 7:30pm) but those were the best burgers that I have had out of Belly Goat that than had to go into delivery. We did adjustments to every part of our order and each were executed perfectly! Thank you Belly Goat. I know that level is hard to execute all the time but I want you all to know how much we appreciated our meal last night. "

"Discovery Luxe Box was a great late night meal. The Burritos that come with it were mini but about equal to a whole burrito. The chipotle sauce that comes with it was better than I expected. Highly recommend!"

"This is lowkey one of the best spots in Santa Cruz! Cheap but really good food. Good kitchen! "
"The "mashed potatoes and gravy" were both practically liquid. Besides that they were very salty. The fish was hardly seasoned. And the zucchini was thinly sliced and burnt. Everything arrived cold, but I'm not sure whose fault that is. I only ordered here because most restaurants are closed late at night today. I won't make the mistake of ordering from Denny's again. "
