Dirty, flies everywhere. They were rude. They didnt offer any condiments. Even though it's conveniently located, I'd rather go to a different KFC
9. Columbia Restaurant
Reviewed By 872deanm
It's not fancy, but it's good food at a modest price. We stumbled upon it after a Chargers game and will be stopping here before the drive home now after every game.Loaded burgers, pastrami, steak sandwiches, greek, mexican, breakfast, salads, you name it, they have it. We had a chicken fajita burrito and a carne asada burrito to go. They were huge and no leftovers. They also have hand dipped ice cream shakes in real ice cream flavors beyond vanilla, strawberry and chocolate (butter pecan, pistachio, etc). The one thing you will need to have is patience. They aren't fast food fast, but it's worth it because they make everything to order.

Visited here for lunch on a weekday. Place was pretty crowded. Very rustic inside, trying to make ya feel like you're in a shack somewhere down South I imagine. Friendly staff. Very attentive. Prices are typical to most BBQ places. I ordered Combo with brisket and pulled pork which comes with two sides and either biscuit, cornbread or hush puppies. I got hush puppies, mac n' cheese and collard greens. The food was all pretty good. The brisket and pulled pork were decent but seemed to be lacking a little in real smoky flavor. Sweet tea was very good and the offer to get a refill "to go" at the end of the meal certainly rings try to how it's done down south. Not a bad option for BBQ but there are better places a little closer to Los Angeles.

I always find the burgers to be very tasty at Steak N Shake and this one is no different.This restaurant doesnât offer the table service that other Steak N Shakes do, however, they still have the same burgers and shakes the other stores have.The staff were friendly, the food didnât take too long to make and it tasted great. They also have some of the best fries seasoning around. You can even purchase it for about $3 a bottle.

I came to Jay Bee's because I saw this on DDD. I was really disappointed. The pulled pork sandwich had to much BBQ sauce on it, and the sauce was not great. The ribs where like jerky, very dry and tough. The chicken was good, coleslaw was very bland. It was really not work the drive to get over to the place.
5. Fatburger
Reviewed By Kauai-Biz-Traveler
Not bad. The turkey burger was a little too salty. Excellent fixings and fresh veggies on the patty. Everything is made after ordering so it's not exactly fast fast food, but if you know what you're getting it's ok. It's also a bit pricey for what you get. Just a single patty turkey burger without anything else was $6 plus tax.

3. The Green Olive
Reviewed By Nereida
I visited this eating establishment today, but I was not impressed. I ordered two beef kabobs with rice, salad, a pita bread and humus. The beef was bland, and dry. The humus was tasteless, and the one pita bread was not enough to eat the humus. I do not think that I will be visiting this establishment again.

I love all the food here! I usually get a bacon cheeseburger, but will sometimes go for the steak sandwich. My husband's go-to are the pastrami and the carne asada. Our friend can't get enough of the chili-cheese fries. We usually get an order of onion rings that we split between 3 - 4 people. I don't usually like onion rings, but theirs are amazingly good. Their ranch dressing is so fresh! Quick, friendly counter service. I'm not a fan of the inside, but for getting food to-go, it's a great place.
