"I love donuts. I'm also from the Bronx. Those two things may not mean much to anyone in the Santa Cruz area, but if it happens to help someone - dope. Ferrell's Donuts are BY FAR my favorite donuts in Santa Cruz County - period. And I just moved here and happen to live down the street! The GLAZED DONUT are LIFE!!! And if you like glazed filled donuts - their 1/2 Dozen Filled Holes are basically glazed filled donuts - they are HUGE. My favorite are the CUSTARD and RASBERRY. So that's your starting point. CUSTOMER SERVICE - every box, every time, they send a note to me - and maybe even an extra something dependingon the time of day ;) I won't share too much 'cuz that's my thing - thank you @Ferrell'sDonuts!!!!! You bring me joy! Let me go put my order in ;) Heart, Jess"
"Sausage, Egg, Cheese & Jalapeño Ham, Cheese & Jalapeño, the stuffed croissants left a little to be desired (don't get me wrong, the croissant part was buttery and delicious) the filling was just so-so. BUT all the donuts were perfect 😋 exactly what my family and I wanted! They even threw in a few donut holes (also delicious)!! Very prompt delivery and they even left a sweet note on the box! love love love Ferrell's 9/10 would recommend!! My daughter and I order at least once every time we come to Santa Cruz 🥰"

"The chicken tenders and fries were tasty and the order size was appropriate for the price, however, the double mocha was not as mesmerizing, I thought I would get a 20ounce mocha but received maybe a 10ounce. Not a good price for what I paid 8.00"
"Pretty sure they use AI images for their menu photos because the food looks nothing like this, not even the same ingredients. I got the Rockfish Burrito and it was huge (yay!) but it was almost entirely beans and rice. The fish was barely noticable, not big chunks like the photo but small flakey pieces and it was very dry and chewy. I ate about 1/4 of the burrito thinking they had sent me just a bean and cheese because I didn't taste any fish or pineapple. There was almost no flavor to the burrito at all and the tortilla fell apart. The Onion Rings were also huge in potion but it was all one giant greasy onion blob. Not really rings at all and a little burnt. Again, nothing like the photo, not even the same kind of batter. Really disappointing and expensive for the low quality food I received."

"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)"

The bread rolls were heated and even the butter was placed in a separate container so they didn't melt or get smashed. Thank You Gilda's and a big hug to the Chef and Preppers. "
"This was a DoorDash order. I ordered my filet mignon med rare; it was well done. The coleslaw was hot. The spaghetti and meatballs tasted like Sysco quality; no way was it homemade. Although they didn't clam it to be homemade, it was pricy for "freezer food." Crab cakes were sub par at best. The vegetables were good and cooked perfectly. The fruit bowl was hot...probably similar to the hot Cole slaw being bagged with hot food. Cold vs. hot should be bagged accordingly. We also only received one set of utensils for $140 worth of food, including two entry's. Seems common sense to pack fo at least two people eating. Disappointing on several levels.

"Best egg sandwich since I was ten years old in my mother's kitchen! Just look at how much egg! And the bacon was thin, crispy, crunchy, and so satisfying! "

"Beyond Burger was amazing, Sweet Potato Fries were crispy and delicious. 10/10 would destroy this meal again."
"I ordered the Kids Grilled Cheese for a picky eater, and it came with a mountain of pickle slices on top of it, no joke, like a handful of them, which soaked the sandwich in pickle juice, making it inedible to a kid that doesn't like pickles. I also got the steak New York Steak Sandwich which was honestly just very bland, I added some salt and pepper which helped but the bread was not toasted and definitely not a garlic ciabatta roll. and for the cost, I think unfortunately this will be my last order."

I just forgot to take the photo before grubbing down half of it down ;) Just one call out, it's a bummer we don't get any dipping sauce for the RIP-TIDE TENDERS ie ranch/bbq sauce. We did get a generous portion of ketchup though :)"
