"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!"

"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! "
"Rib eye was cooked as requested, nicely seasoned, & delicious. The mash was creamy & flavorful. The 5 asparagus spears were puny and were not trimmed of the woody ends, this was puzzling because the entire entree was over $40. The entree Arugula Salad was topped with feta cheese, apple slices, & spiced walnuts. It was huge and satisfying. The Tiramisu was fantastic!"

"The Santa Fe Salad that I received does not look anything like the photo, they have used red lettuce and I can't eat red lettuce and the photo does not have any red lettuce in it. I have to pick out the red leaf lettuce and am not left with much. The dressing is way too spicy also. Pure disappointment, if I would have known I would have certainly ordered something different. $20.00 down the drain."

"I had not ordered the brisket sandwich in months. The previous times it was great. This was horrible. First off, the size was tiny ... about 4" x 2.75". Then, I opened the sandwich and saw all the fat, which I trimed off (shown in photo), leaving little brisket.
The taste is bad too. Definitely not the same as it used to be. $18? Ridiculous!"

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. From quality, cooking and packing the to-go."

"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)"

"Everything is fresh and amazing! The tortillas are even pressed to order. All the ingredients taste clean and natural nothing artificial. Give them a try you will not be disappointed. Out of all the burritos I've had around town they are the best!"
"I am addicted to the veggie Burrito with my Spanish rice, black beans, my fav salsa, pico, cilantro & onion and the jalapeño crema. It is huge, definitely good for two meals, unless you are super hungry, then it's perfect. The churro fries are sugary and divine too. Staff is friendly and helpful. That is a big plus for me."

"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."

It seems like they don't care as muchand that's sad because their flavors are beyond delicious. I hope they read this review and pay more attention."
"The sandwich, although flavorful, was a hot mess when delivered two miles away. The grease/oil soaked through thin slice of sour dough bread. Making it just about impossible to eat. Had I known this was Denny's, I would have cancelled the order..."

"They definitely improved after previous reviews! Wings are perfectly cooked. Ordered buffalo and garlic - though, more sauce would be nice but still tasted it. Food served in plastic containers and flavors are separated with foil. Fries are served separately but as with all to go foods, throw them in air fryer and it'll be crispy again. Good price too."
