"This is the first time I ordered the Large Sourdough Jack Combo Meal. This Large Sourdough Jack Combo the sourdough bread was nicely toasted on the outside with a juicy burger patty, sliced Tomatoes, Swiss Cheese with Pickles and Mayonnaise. I would order this Sourdough Jack Combo again it was that delicious. I chosen the regular large size French Fries with dipping sauces the Sweet and Sour Sauce and the Ranch Dipping Sauce was perfect to dip my French Fries into today. I also ordered the Iced Tea with Boba in it. This Iced Coffee with the Boba has a unique flavor to it. It tastes like a Cinnamon flavor with these soft berries at the bottom of this Iced Coffee cup.

"My goodness this order was so beautiful and so delicious. My sincere compliments to the Denny's Chef. This meal is what I would have expect from a 5 star San Francisco restaurant. The Double Cheeseburger was fresh and perfectly prepared. The Classic Sampler was equally fantastic. Thank you Denny's Thank you Door Dash Happy Camper here"
"The French Fries were some of the best I've had from delivery with good portion; they held their crispness and were good quality. Salad and Cali Club Sandwich were also really good and Denny's was a good choice for a 10:30 pm order, so good to know we can use them again."

"There was a huuuge thick pool of caramel at the bottom of my drink after I asked for no caramel drizzle. Double or triple the norm of this drink which is my go-to. I have a health condition that requires me to limit my sugar. The extreme amount of caramel rendered my drink undrinkable. Such a waste. :("

"This place is truly AWESOME & Amazeballs!!!! Best Filet in town. Not cheap - but WORTH IT by far. Always tender and juicy. Potatoes Rock! The worst thing i can say is that last time there were only two vegetable spears - and I didn't really care. I was a vegetarian for over 15 years, and I don't eat meat on a daily basis - sometimes not even weekly - AND - the beef here feels like it is Good For You! Great Menu!!!!! GREAT kitchen staff!!!! Thanks for your expertise!!!!"
"The eggroll sampler was not great tbh. For $19.99, it was small amount of food -- one small fried eggroll of each flavor - Southwest chicken, hamburger, avocado and chicken taquito . They were soggy and barely warm. In the restaurant , the Southwest ones are a favorite of ours. Will not ever order them for takeout again. The Thai salad wasn't ready when I arrived so I think the eggrolls must have sat for extra time and that didn't help. Was only 10 minutes from pick up to eating and The temps weren't hot. The Thai chicken salad was tasty, but they say it will have "satay chicken" on it and there was a very small amount of very charred chicken, almost burnt. Not juicy like normal satay is and certainly not even 1/2 of a satay chicken order would normally include. Again, for the price, ($23) there was not enough protein. Maybe add some edamame if going to chintz on the chicken. The cheesecake was very good, though so that was nice :)"

"We picked up the MEEATLOAF SANDO, the CHOP CHOP Salad, Pepperoni and Olive Flatbread, and the Galactic Monster Sweet Potato Fries and every dish was amazingly flavorful and super filling. Our four year old kiddo loved everything, except for the galactic fries and only because it had jalapenos. How this place didn't have a line out the door is a mystery to me! The MEEATLOAF SANDO is a monster of a sandwich. Honestly, it's so filled with stuff that I don't know how you'd pick it up. This was the family favorite! The CHOP CHOP Salad was light and refreshing, which was a nice balance to the rest of our heavy meal. The pepperoncini gave the salad a nice kick of flavor. I don't think that I need to go on and on about how much we loved our meal. Vegan or not, if you like flavorful food that will fill you up, you have to try this place. We're already planning our next trip to Eris to try other items on the menu . "
"This was a mess, a lot of food but very very bland. Bummer, we barely ate 1/4 of the food since it was so bland. Ordered the chicken bacon sandwich, even the fries were bland. The sandwich was crunchy in some areas and soggy in other areas. No flavor My so had the Rueben. Same thing I tried it it was a sloppy mess and very bland. His fries were bland too. Waste of money"

"I've ordered the Finney Burger many times because it's delicious and always cooked perfectly to order. Unfortunately, my burger tonight was well done instead of medium. It was still good, just not right. I'd still order it again."
"The burgers at the Oceanside spot are good, but I ordered sliced avocado on my $14 Finney burger for a $4 upcharge and received eight dime sized pieces that belonged on a small side salad. NOT slices, not even enough to actually effect the taste or texture of the burger because they just sunk into the bun and covered 1/3 of the patty. It was a little insulting. That being said, I like the Finney Burger which is just your basic cheeseburger, and the fries and homemade ketchup are interesting. I just won't be ordering any add-ons. Quick service, but probably because they save time on not slicing avocados :-)"

"The Beets + Avocado Plant Based Bowl was a treasure trove of flavor and textures that dazzled the tastebuds in majestic ways. Hugely satisfying serving size too. My only gripe is the slice of Chocolate Vanilla Layer Cake that appears to have been hit with the inflation wand. Used to be twice what it is now. "

"I literally have no words for this rap! It was literally delicious. I did it with the air, fried chicken and bacon, and I asked for their spicy aïoli on the side. Literally delicious. I was hesitant because obviously it's pricey, but I love the tortilla the ratio of chicken and the veggies. The Parmesan. Everything was amazing. It was fresh and I will order it again! "
"This place is a little pricey, but there is a good reason for it seriously so freaking delicious always fresh always flavorful absolutely amazing.

"I order from here all the time because I am a picky eater. The quality and speed of service are always amazing, and the packaging is always safe & secure. In person, the service is great and they have one of those soda machines with a million different flavors. I've never had any issues with my orders over the countless times I've ordered for years. My one note is that if you're looking for a lot of heavy flavor, this is not the place. The reason I like their food is because of how light and fresh it tastes---I normally have to add my own salt and sometimes I even add my own seasoning. I recommend it for picky eaters but not someone looking for a very filling, rich flavorful meal. Has great vegetarian options, too! "
"Ii placed my First Time online order on the Door Dash App yesterday afternoon. This was fir my lunch time meal. I ordered the one Penne Rosa with the Grilled Chicken Meat. The price is $23.73. This cost include the dessert and my beverage. For my dessert I ordered one large size Snickers Doodle Cookie. This huge cookie has cinnamon and white sugar baked inside this delicious and delicate soft baked cookie. My beverage I have chosen is the Regular size Sprite Soft Drink with ice. I also wanted bread to go with my Penne Rosa dish. So I ordered one Baguette it's toasted and includes one piece of wrapped butter to spread on this Baguette. The price is $1.63. The subtotal was $25.36. The Delivery Fee was zero. It was $3.99. The Range fee was $1.49. The Service fee was 46 cents. It was originally $3.00. I got a great discount being a Dash Pass Member. I saved $7.00 on this order . That's a great deal! The tax was $1.97. The Dasher Tip I chose for Sue was $7.50 a high tip amount because Sue will have to drive (40 minutes) one way to deliver my food order to my house in Oceanside from the Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad, California location. It's a really long commute to my home. Sue deserves to be appreciated by me their customer. Sue was also very personal to me. My total bill was $36.78.

"This is my go-to restaurant for prime rib. The chili and salad are great, as well. Heck, so are the ribs. Seems you can't go wrong here. "
"Mr. Peabody's has the best MAC N' CHEESE. It doesn't matter what entree I order, I always want their MAC N' CHEESE with it. Tonight I ordered the RIBEYE STEAK. Very tender & full of flavor even without the au juis. Everything was packaged very carefully. Much appreciated!"

"Wow! This was my first experience with the Crack Shack and I am not disappointed! Quite the opposite...I am happy and full! The Coop Deville is the best chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. The fries were perfect and the portions generous. "
"The Uncle Phil-y sandwich was tasty but overpriced. The one fried chicken thigh was too salty, dry, had more breading than meat, and was overpriced. I'm over the Crack Shack. Its prices are ridiculous."

"I enjoyed my first Create Your Own salad overall but there were issues. Was missing the Napa slaw I added. The ingredients were fresh, and they did include a sufficient amount of blackened chicken. A bit stingy on the feta crumbles. Dressing containers not entirely full. Probably will be an occasional lunch given the cost though."
"Sweetgreen never disappoints! Their salads and bowls are consistently fresh and flavorful. I especially love the pesto vinaigrette dressing. It’s the perfect balance of herby and tangy, and it elevates every bite. A must-try for salad lovers!"

"Mmm saucy! Loved these guys growing up, glad they're still around. My favorite buffalo wings, love their sauce over any other place I've been to.

"This flavor filled omelet was amazing!! The thick cut of Swiss cheese at the bottom of this omelet along with the generous amount of chicken hit the spot for me. The homestyle potatoes were browned to perfection and are highly recommended as the side for this dish. Will definetly be ordering from here again!!"
"Swamis is on top of it with DoorDash. They're the one restaurant I consistently order from as the order is always right, even if I ask for a modification like 'No tomatoes' or 'please add chipotle mayo.' Quality and consistency every time. I am not one to write reviews, but the Swamis kitchen definitely deserves some praise. Thank you for being my go to! "

"the worst experience ever for a pizza place. They send a pizza in a damaged box. it seems as though someone stepped on it. and the pepperoni pizza was made wrong. basically all of the cheese was concentrated on 2 sliced and there was maybe 5 pepperoni slices on it.

"We love Ki's. if you have allergies, you can make a great affordable healthy dinner by combining their sides. The veggie stew is a great way to have a lot of different veggies at once, as well retaining the vitamin filled cooking liquid. We love their shrimp, much more affordable than most shrimp in Encinitas. The house dressing tastes like it has dairy, but last we checked it doesn't. Delicious. The people are great, only problem is that juices and smoothies often get left out. Dash refunds this(usually), but if you want it,you have to reorder. retip, and pay the fees again. And dash is not refunding small items left off of orders. So, if you can, go pick up your order, and double check it before you leave. much of their food is 5 star, there is just this weird delivery glitch. We have loved this place for 25 years."

"We love Nectarine Grove. It is not always the prettiest after transport, but it is far and away the most consistently delicious very healthy food on Dash. if you are off gluten and dairy, do not miss the pancakes, the best we have ever found, nor the Chipotle sauce. We get the fajita bowl or the veggie bowl most of the time. You can customize it exactly with veggies, sauces, and proteins. The balsamic reduction is delicious and addictive. The GF pizza is thicker and a bit breading than some, but it is actually good for you, unlike most Gf DF pizza crusts that taste good but are feats of chemistry and starches. if you like a lot of animal protein on your pizza, get extra toppings. We are light eaters, and we usually get enough for both of us on one entree. We have never had any food from them that was not good, and usually it is great. This is a higher standard than many local places that have new tourists every day, & care little for quality control.They are also kind & caring. Amazing"
"Paid $4 to add bacon to an already $22 burrito and they added 1 tiny piece of bacon. DONT ADD BACON TO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU ARE OKAY PAYING $4 for one piece of bacon. Nectarine grove is one of my favorites as I am gluten free, but they are a little scammy with the pricing of add ons to an already expensive menu"
