😠 Refused service becuase my co workers and I were in uniform. We are local military recruiters for the area. After work we decided to eat there for them to tell us they would not serve us while in uniform. In my 16 years of wearing this uniform this is the first time I have ever been refused service...

👍👍 Great, simple and friendly place with great outdoor seating. Portions are perfect to share if needed. French toast were on point but then again so was the omelet and bacon. Everything we tried was solid.

Tubac Jack's Restaurant & Saloon
Southwestern restaurant (US)
🫤 I cannot recommend this place. The burger looked nice but, for me, rates as one of the least favorite I ever had. Meat had no spices added and had no flavor, onion rings were greasy and cold, but was dense and tasteless. The wife's salad we ordered was to have chicken on it. That meat tasted like po...

👍👍 Update: three years later, and we're still going to Sushi San regularly. The three photos are from today: Donut Roll, Sashimi Donburi, and a combo (I forget which one). I was dragged in here and really didn't expect much, and was pleasantly surprised! Despite its location in a quiet corner of a sho...

🫤 A disaster in action, and no one cared. 45 minutes for a burnt burger, burnt cheese curds, burnt fries, a cold lifeless chicken wrap that sat in the window for 15 min. During the 45 min wait we got to enjoy a show of: a waitress holding a child and fighting with her husband in the dinning room; walk...
