River Creek Cafe -Food CA (Near Ahwahnee)

Ryan Assali Fantastic Mandi restaurant. We had the whole chicken Mandi and split it between two big guys and we barely finished it. We ordered the Yemeni bread (not pictured) and it was bigger than the plate and very fluffy and flavorful. The combination with the yogurt sauce and veggie salsa is just amazing. No need to drive all the way to Anaheim for good Mandi dishes. Definitely this restaurant is worth going back to. Interestingly, they also have a drive thru too.

James Camacho The atmosphere and the food here make for a great night out. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, the bacon mac and cheese, and the buttuery buns. Everything was delicous! At this time of year this restaurant embraces the Christmas spirit, which I really appreciate. The customer service was great as well. Everyone was friendly and helpful. As is the case for any downtown eating experience, the parking can be tough to find. Park 20-30 minutes before you want to eat because you may have to walk several blocks. Overall, a great experience with some delicious food. Eat up!!!

E B The torta special was great, as were the sauces served with it. The greens juice is a must. And the strawberry’s & cream is worth it as well.

Kareem Pinkston Hill Street Brewing is finally open in South Oceanside and theyre bringing some great food, barbecue and brew to the Oceanside community. I attended their soft opening, and Im very impressed with the decor of the inside and the fact that they are leaning into a perspective of "locals-forward" in their business approach. So far, Im thoroughly enjoying the drinks and that the place is very clean and well organized. Service is extremely friendly, even though many of them are just learning the ropes. They have a full bar filled with whiskey, tequila, rum, and many mixers. One of the aspects that I can truly appreciate is that they will be having local discounts, military discount discounts, $.75 wings on Wednesdays and also a bottomless mimosa brunch on the weekends. Ive heard that they will even have an upstairs private room that can be used for private events, bachelor parties, football get together and will also be part of a membership program. Hill Street Brewing also enlisted the skills of the MasterChef Kennedy, and she is able to specialize and not only superior meats and barbecue, but also vegetarian and vegan dishes. I can also appreciate that they have a heavy duty smoker on premise that will supply authentic smoked barbecue made in-house.

Brian Awesome service. The tacos are generally pretty good - the Birria is really good though.
