Scotty "SAUCE" D.'s Profile
DateWe were very intrigued by the corn ice cream wrapped in a crepe so we decided to share that as well. The presentation was great but the texture and flavor of the ice cream just fell short and it not ready for prime time. My buddy Andy had a margarita on the rocks he loved but it did have alcohol so that isn't a huge surprise. The decor in the restaurant is a huge trip and worth the visit for that alone. The art is insane and so fun but the seats are pretty uncomfortable after a while.
Overall this place is fun and they do have some things to work out but that salsa is a huge hit and it's worth a visit to try it/ I will be back and I'm really looking forward to trying everything on the menu.
This is my new favorite spot in the area for sure and I'm so glad there is such a great BBQ in my area and I will be back ASAP!

this is a really bad chili's location! not that you can really find a great one anywhere these days. the food is still pretty good but with so many better options these days for a better menu i suggest you look elsewhere. last time i ate at this pleasanton location i server seemed to have just left the restaurant after he took our order. i know how things work in restaurants with shift changes and what not but this guy just disappeared and we couldn't get anyone to help us. at the end of the meal i even had to go to the host stand to ask if someone could get our bill for us. this was by far a very bad experience but i have had many like this at chili's.

this is a good spot for breakfast!
this is a fantastic place for lunch!
sideboard is as good as it gets when it comes to a nice lunch spot in danville. the menu is so very danville but with some really great items you just won't get at other places.
for starters make sure you get your self the fresh corn pudding and the fried brussel sprouts with lemon aioli. as for the sandwiches they have some great selections that come on acme breads with house made potato chips. the seared ahi with pickled ginger and wasabi aioli is so fresh and my favorite. the chicken salad is a good choice with apples, toasted walnuts, currants, scallions on a walnut bread. they have a pretty good burger as well but thats if you want to try a burger at almost $11.
if you want to go the pasta route they have a great truffle mac and cheese at $10 and a great spagatini at $13. this one has spicy italian sausage, goat cheese, asparagus, heirloom tomato, garlic in an olive oil pesto. every time i come in i hope they have the soft shell crab sandwich on the menu because IS GOOD!
you can come in for breakfast and you might come back but stop in for lunch and you will make it a priority to come back again and again.

i have always had a love for shopping at target even though it did take over my childhood favorite, GEMCO. i would give 5 stars but it doesn't quite make the cut like other target stores.
it's also way too dangerous for me to get anything here because a lil something turns out to be a big something on my credit card. they have everything i need and more of what i don't need but i tend to buy anyway. friendly staff and the shelves are always stocked full of goodness. thank god this place closes at 10pm or I'd be soooo damn broke. they have grocery and everything you would expect from a target store. if they sold jager and cigs i would live there!! lol

this place never seems to disappoint! always great service, fantastic food and the best selection i can never seem to decide on.
i have always been a big meat lover and not a huge fan of salads but the black and blue salad makes up for it in so many ways. i'm talking about pan-seared grass-fed filet mignon tips & point reyes blue cheese on romaine with blue cheese dressing & onion strings. the meat was so tender and flavorful i may just have to get this salad each and every time. the portions are always so huge even i usually need a doggie bag.
there are still ALOT of things i need to try on the menu so i can see many trips to danville in my near future. -

this place is a sweet treat in the heart of downtown danville. i like to come here for lunch alot to avoid the busy dinner rush. the best thing about the menu is the wide variety and constant change of items on the menu. the pear quesadilla and calamari appetizers are a great way to start the day. for a sandwich i love the chicken club, cubano, french onion panini and the pulled pork. the pizza's are pretty good but then i'm not a thin crust kind of guy. save room for a pear martini and a very sweet selection of deserts. a bananas foster sundae and a different flavor creme brulee every day could do some damage on your waistline.

when i was growing up this is what made the ideal sandwich. it was in my lunchbox every day at school and if i had a lunchbox these days i would insist on an ike's sandwich. our tastes change as we grow and even though i still love miracle whip the rest i can pass on any day for the extravagant ike's sandwich.
I have been waiting an east bay location closer to my home for so long and I'm so excited he finally opened up in oakland. I'm going to be here every week and that is a promise.
this is a great place for a sandwich and alot better than any sandwich chain out there. I can hobestly say this is te best sandwich i have ever had in my life. first of all the sandwich names are as out there as you can get and ike is obviously a huge child of our pop culture past. the sandwich combinations are insanely creative and make it hard for me to choose my sandwich of the day. there is alot going on with the sandwiches so they can get messy and a little soggy so i just enjoy myself and make it a sandwich experience. each and every sandwich is loaded to the tee with the freshest of ingredients and each halve so big i usually have the rest for a midnight snack.
they offer veggie and vegan sandwiches as well but with all those great options for those who eat meat i have yet to go to those menu's. and the fries are healthy and good for me! yay some of the best fries i have ever had. a long wait..........WHO CARES! i can deal with it because the place is small and the demand is so insanely high. this place is all about creativity and just being who you are, so have fun and enjoy your ike's.
i would say ike's gets the best original creative scrumptious sandwich i have ever had anywhere sandwich.
