The Thirsty Axe - (Near Ukiah, CA)

Vicky Geez I was hungry @ 11am, as a full time Uber driver unfortunately I have to eat out a lot. I have had sandwiches for 3 days in a row I was wanting something different, but this place stood out to me on the Google search list, mostly because I havent seen a sandwich shop with so many reviews sitting at a 4.8 of 5 rating, with zero 1 & 2 stars. So, upon entrance, i dont love the atmosphere, it gives cafeteria with fluorescent lighting & push tile ceiling, flat white walls and ZERO decor, not even a picture on any of the walls that I noticed... which is fine, they want to focus on the food then really none of this is a problem. Their menu, maybe 8 protein choices, maybe 6 kinds of cheese, maybe 6 varieties of bread to choose from, & thats pretty much it... I chose the "Joes special" which is 1/2 pastrami 1/2 roast beef or.. corned beef I cant remember. Meat warm on cold soft French roll with Swiss. They dont have any fancy sauces except for mayo & mustard, or really much additional toppings except for lettuce tomato red onion & pickles.. & pepproncinis. Its extremely simple & straight forward, which is actually kind of refreshing. Sandwich I think was around $8 or $9..REALLY great price for the Bay area & its a BIG portion too. Then after you order the sandwich, slide on down the station & pick sides if you want, I got the Mac n cheese & the macaroni salad. They were I think $3.69ish each They did have fountain drinks too which I super appreciate! I got a small bag of lays chips too All together my Joes special sandwich, 2 sides, chips & fountain drink was only $25. Honestly my meal would have been satisfactory with just the sandwich & the drink for what, like $11 or $12? Yess. The sandwich did come with this sort of dark gravy that I LOVED as well. Ill Def come back here.

xia Feng The portions were huge and satisfying! Cindy recommended the Chicken Fried Steak Skillet, and it was absolutely amazing—we ordered three of them, and each one was perfect. The décor is warm and retro, which I really loved. Cindy was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Overall, such a wonderful dining experience—highly recommended!

Jean Tu I arrived for a pretty late lunch since I was in the area for a conference and have been meaning to try out Hodads. I came around 3 PM on a Monday and there was no one else in the shop but me which meant I got super quick service. I opted for the single cheeseburger with onion rings and a Dr. Pepper. The burger was pretty good and the onion rings were amazing. It was definitely worth the 20 minute walk that it took to get there. Id go back in the future just for the onion rings alone! The best part is that they give you 2 stickers at the end of your meal! Im pretty sure youre supposed to stick the stickers on the walls of the establishment somewhere but I wanted to take mine.

Erica Fung This food truck is located at the corner by the place I am staying at. They opened at 0700-1400. I walked here for breakfast. I ordered the oohla latte and the complete crepe. It took them a little while to prepare the crepe as it was made fresh. I was enjoying my coffee during the wait. The coffee was flavorful! It has hazelnuts and pistachio in it. The complete crepe came with ham and egg, and it tasted wonderful! There were table and benches and we could sit at the outdoor area. However, I would rather eat by the fireplace. Staff was friendly, and price is reasonable. Will come back again for sure.

jsa trades First of all you must know that Im a dinner enthusiast. DDD is high on my list of hidden gem places. Johns is such a place. You can go in and tell them what you feel like, and theyll get it for you and charge you a reasonable price for a tasty and large meal. We saw a plate of fries being served to a customer and made the mistake of ordering a large plate as an appetizer for the 4 of us. A third of it was left behind. Their salads are very good with meat of your choice on them at your pleasure. Mexican, BBQ, huge burgers, steaks fish... All available, and more. The staff is friendly and helpful. We were referred to Johns by the owners of monster shakes here in Palm springs: best date shake I ever had, bye the way. Go to these 2 places, theyre great.

Johanna Steensma I love taco Tuesday I love to ball on a budget. Carne Asada, Carnitas, and El Pastor are all quite good and there is a great salsa bar. Also the horchata and pineapple drink are good, if not a bit watery. The staff who works the front counter are very nice!
