Zeke's Smokehouse BBQ

Reviewed By Rogerdob

We enjoyed out BBQ beef sandwich...it was good, but we both agreed we have tasted better. The french fries that we ordered with it was seriously lacking a little grease on the outside of the fry...they were very dry. There is parking on the street in front of the restaurant and a large parking lot (free) in the back. This is a sit-down restaurant with waiters.

Our special event rooms will be closed for 2 months and our dining room will be closed for 6 months as we undergo renovation. We look forward to the positive changes that are taking place to better serve our guests.

I have 2 locations near/at the Castaways Restaurant in Burbank, Ca. One is, the venue where the young couple married each other was quaint and intimate! The grassy area (up the hill from the golf course) accommodated 150+ Family and Friends to witness the Wedding. The location had restrooms, a bar for drinks, an amazing Mariachi band, tables and chairs, an awesome arch made by the ‘father of the bride’, a kitchen where delicious hors d’oeurves were made made and served. Excellent spot for a memorable event such as a Wedding!Two is, the location where the Wedding Reception was held. The location and the dance floor were clean. Dinners served to guests were delicious especially the Sea Bass, on my plate! The Steak dinners were questionable, ‘the father of the bride’ who is an expert on quality of beef and the payer of the event was VERY disappointed stating the steak was too dry. Others that ate Steak dinner said the same thing. There were activities for guests to do; Corn Hole game, a Photo Booth, Drink, Dance, Drink more. Besides, the Dollar Dance, Bouquet Toss, the Garter Belt, etc. so much fun and the location accommodated all of this to after 12! Good Times....Good Times!

Taylor's Steakhouse

Reviewed By Wizzzzzard

Lunch today was Over The Top! Wife insisted on celebrating Father's Day for me today (Thursday) 'Cuz conflicts on Sunday. Just the two of us for a super cozy lunch. I love Mushroom ('Shroom) soup, but this cup was really over the top! Best I've EVER had. 'Shrooms freshly sliced, cream just right. Photos below show cup full and half full. Could be a meal in itself.Wonderfully Quiet!We shared the Prime Rib on the lunch menu and it was a fantastic cut, not the usual thin cut at other restaurants...this was a serious cut of Prime Rib done nicely medium rare. We ordered one entree' Cuz we knew it would be more than enuf for both of us. It was! Photo shows the entire piece, cut in half, and we still had some for 'Doggy Bag' to take home. Yes the dog will get a couple of bits, but there's enough for a beautiful lunch at home.Since entree' comes with Salad OR Soup, we ordered a side salad in addition to the Soup de Jour. Salad was very crisp and fresh lettuce, carrots, radishes, onions, bleu cheese crumbles, tomatos with a lovely dressing of choice (we chose Italian which was light and refreshing).We chose wine, a wonderful Merlot from Hitching Post Vinyards in Buelton, CA, so it was definitely a "LOCAL" wine. Same name as the historic and wonderful Hitching Post Steak House in Casmalia, CA, near Lompoc and Santa Maria, CA, but not sure if there is any connection. The Merlot was excellent, just a tiny hint of dry, but otherwise very much to my wife's liking. It really pulled the lunch together for us since we had dined in the original Hitching Post Restaurant in Casmalia many years ago. Casmalia is a Historic railroad town waaayyyy in the outback, a real railroad town, but a real down-to-earth historic dining venue.This lunch was a real treasured Father's Day celebration for us.

Reviewed By CacheOn

Wow, I guess we missed the exceptional service. I came here on a weeknight along with seven other ladies. While taking our order went smoothly, the waiter never once came by during the entire duration to refill drinks! I finally had to ask for more iced tea and no refills were offered to the rest dining along with me. As to the food, it was quite good. I had the shrimp and sausage dish and the shrimp were large and plentiful. The flavors in the dish all combined nicely. The venue is nice. I would definitely return.

Basin 141

Reviewed By Linda F

This could very well be our hangout. The food is great, the beer selection always has something interesting, and the atmosphere is laid back. We’ve been there a few times and find all of the waiters and waitresses friendly, helpful, and speedy. Most people might look at this as a bar with food. It is that but much more. The food is exceptional and the bar is a welcoming place where the regulars gather and people there for the first time are made to feel welcome. A highlight is the eve changing menu of tap beers, many from micro-brewerys. My husband claims to be a burger expert and further claims their burgers are the best. My favorite at Basin 141 is their chicken sandwich, served with heaps of fries.We have not been there when it wasn’t crowded. But we always get a seat. The bar is our first choice but the choice of high tops and booths are also great spots. If you there to watch a game you’ll find you are never more than a couple of feet from a TV – they line the walls.Parking in the street and lots of free parking behind the building with a backdoor entrance.

This is a reliable chain that serves up fresh California style food. My favorite dish is the salmon with mashed potatoes and fresh corn. It is a wonderful combination and is fairly priced. The restaurants are a little loud; however, you can eat outdoors which makes conversation easier. I have never had a bad meal here.

Jeremy's Restaurant

Reviewed By Joyce G

Driven by this place many times, and I didn't see much activity, so I wasn't interested in going in. Finally the day came when we did go in and boy was I surprised to see so many people inside!! It was jam packed!! We were lucky to wait for only a short while. We ordered breakfast and were pleasantly surprised to receive a whole lot of food with leftovers to spare. It reminded me of Denny's type breakfast which I love. If you have your dog with you, you can sit outside where they have several spots. Plenty of free street parking. Customer service is pretty good.

We love their stew. We invited friends to come as our guest and they ordered different things and enjoyed their meals. My husband and our friend enjoy your beers. You have a great assortment of beers. But for me, Tuesday nights are Stew nights. The meat is the large trim pieces from steaks and it is better than any stew meat I have ever had. There is a choice of potatoes and vegetables, great rolls and you will feel like you just took part in a feast.There are some very cozy booths and a nice bar. The atmosphere here is that of an English pub. This old cigarette smoke filled bar was treansformed into a very comfortable place to have a beer, cocktail, or full meal. It is very attractive to me as a senior woman. Lots of friendly people. The stairs to the women's restroom are beautiful with totally new decor in a 1930's style with tile everywhere and beautifully maintained.

Reviewed By BeastiePV

I don’t normally gush about a restaurant, but this one is worth gushing about! Had an early breakfast here. We were immediately greeted with warmth and humor and served a very tasty breakfast by our waiter Ricardo. You will love the extensive menu, the baked goods made on site, the aesthetic yet warm ambiance, and the generous and friendly service. Advice: go on the early side to avoid crowds.
