I have been coming here for years. I have been here for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even taco Tuesday. The food it good, typical diner food. However, staff does need some training. Just because you say "hello", when a customer walks in the door, is not customer service. Depending on staff and time of day, but more often than not, you have to ask for refills. Almost like that old Ron Popiel commericial, "set it and forget it".

I've never been crazy about Applebee's, always preferring Chili's. But Chili's in Stonegate can't seem to make a drink, so we tried Applebee's. The atmosphere is nice, the servers were nice, the food was fine but nothing special. My husband was happy with his steak, but he is usually happy! I had a pasta dish, and they left off whatever it was I objected to. They were cheerful about doing so, and they did it correctly. Which does not always happen everywhere. On the whole, I wish I liked them better!

Their food is really good HOWEVER, the service to the inconsistency leaves A LOT to be desired. First, the staff. Man is good help hard to find! From the rudeness, to the nonchalant attitude about getting your order correct (or incorrect for this matter), to the sometimes 'not fresh' food (that is ALWAYS blamed on it sitting in the container, but not even 15 minutes of sitting in styrofoam can turn fresh fried fish. I don't even order if its past 2pm AND THATS PUSHING IT! I don't know if they fry in anticipation of the lunch/dinner crowd, which would make sense if the wait wasn't always so long. The biggest problem I have is the unprofessionalism of the staff (exclude 3 people). The first time I visited, I specifically asked the woman (middle aged, lighter skin) if the red beans had or was made with meat. She told me 'no.' After continued asking, PORK. Almost stopped eating there. Only order fish, hush puppies, and fries. Safe.

Polly's Pies

Reviewed By grandslamhomer

here was a 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration in Nuevo, CA this last weekend. The Event was at the Carrillo Ranch, and for dessert after the dinner celebration, the guests enjoyed multiple Pies purchase at Polly's Pies in Moreno Valley. The Pie crusts were cooked perfectly and the different flavors of the Pies were so tasty. One of the big favorites was the Pecan Pie. Moist, and delicious. All of their fruit pies were also very good. We will definitely be going back to Polly's Pie Restaurant again to purchase more of their delicious Pies !

Sizzler

Reviewed By CSP1961

This is the best Sizzler we have ever visited. The ambiance is nice. I say recently redecorated - because everything seems recent to me. The interior looks so pretty. They added televisions during the redesign. The salad bar offers loads of choices. We usually order some type of fish. Our Son-In-Law likes the steaks and our daughter enjoys the shrimp. Everything we order has been good. I highly recommend this Sizzler.Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. So happy to hear you like the improvements we've made and we look forward to having you a regular here at our Sunnymead Boulevard location. - Your Local Moreno Valley Sizzler Team

We're regular dinners at this location. At the time we arrive there;s generally no wait! The crowd follows our sit down. The menu is no too expansive, prices are fair and service is generally very good. I generally don't get steak but my fellow dinners do. They have no complaints.All in all: A good stop! If you leave hungry, it's your own fault!

Brought my pops here for Father’s Day and ordered him the half chicken and rack of ribs. He immediately compared it to Dickey’s and said it was much better. My sausage was also very good. They were nice about reheating my wife’s sandwich since she arrived a little later. Great place to break bread!

BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

Reviewed By SusieQx325

The food is excellent!! I am addicted to their California Flatbread! I think I had 3 of them during my trip! I would have had it every day if I had tried it sooner! Just delicious! Their dessert is yummy as well! Those cookie things are so good with the ice cream and extras on top! I bet I gained a few pounds because of them! :-) Ordering online was a little tricky for some reason, not sure if it was because it was late or what. I used their online ordering once and a separate delivery service for my other orders. Everything arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I wish they had restaurants on the east coast! I can't wait for my next trip out west so I can try more from their menu and have more of those California flatbreads! :-)

Our son recommended Portillo's to us, and we are glad that we did. We just had take-out, and everything was grand. We sampled two types of hot dogs, and an Italian sausage sandwich, and we all raved about each item. We will be frequent customers.
