Wow, some of the best Chinese food Iâve had!Kennyâs is located off the beaten path in a shopping center. There is ample parking in the parking lot. When you get inside you seat yourself. Staff is friendly and eager to help. Make sure you check out the daily specials. They serve a lot of Chjnese food, but also a smaller American food menu. At first I overlooked the American food, but I noticed many people ordering the Prime Rib special.The general chicken I got was amazing. Huge pieces of flavorful chicken, light on the sauce, mixed with onions, and fresh broccoli on the side. I get this dish from various Chinese food places in the Bay Area at least once a week and Kennyâs was the best. The egg roll was interesting. At first when you get it it looks huge! Itâs about twice the normal size. But then you realize itâs double fried. The outer breading is a more puffy breading. It wasnât bad, but not great. Iâll be back. Now to decide if I want General Chicken again or American food. Mmmm...

We stop at Vallemar Station every time we visit our hometown of Pacifica. I always get the Basa fish with macadamia nuts, delicious! My husband always tries something different, yummy meatloaf this trip. If we still lived in the Bay Area we'd make weekly trips for dinner, but have to settle for yearly visits. It's comforting to know the food will always be great. And server Michelle always remembers us and provides excellent service.I suggest anyone who travels on hwy 1 thru Pacifica stop for a meal at this local gem.

Small, very small sandwich shack. Go early before bread runs out! The sandwich is HUGE. Garlic spread is a must. We tried roast beef, Black Forest ham, and ultimate club while in town for the week. Get the black forest ham for slight upcharge in the club. Otherwise I think you get cheaper grade boiled ham. The bacon on the club was wimpy, could use some crunch.

This place has an indoor and outdoor seating - outdoor patio is on the sunny side so during a day this is a great spot for lunch. Food was ok - nothing special. The restaurant carries many special beers and ciders. Staff here is the best and puts a small on your face :)

I know the rule is that restaurants with great views usually have at best mediocre food. This was no exception. Crab cakes were tiny and had too much crust, pappardelle with Boar ragu was good, rolls were hot but tasteless, but bread pudding dessert was exceptional. Service was excellent.

Our large party turned up without a reservation and we were soon seated.Service was prompt and friendly.The consensus was that the fish tacos and the kids grilled cheese were both excellent.Fish and chips were ok.The biggest criticism was that everybody felt that the fries were poor and limp. This is easy to resolve,just make more effort to keep them crispy !Casual kinda place and worth a visit

This was our choice for breakfast (twice) and lunch (once) during our stay in Pacifica. We recommend it most highly! My breakfast choices were a Belgian waffle (day 1), and bacon and eggs (day 2). Iâd repeat this everyday if possible! The waffle was perfectly done, light and crisp, with served with whipped butterâsimple and yummy. This morningâs bacon and eggs were perfectly prepared, and the hash browns were perfectâan ample portion of crispy edged shredded potatoes that I wish I could replicate at home! Yesterdayâs lunch choices were a patty melt for me, a Reuben for my husband, each accompanied by shoestring potatoes fresh out of the fryer, crispy and hot. The patty melt had a wonderful char possible only with gridding. It was wonderful. We ordered iced tea, which came as a entire pitcher and was perfectly brewed. This is a classic sort of place, complete with â50s music (satellite radio) that really rounded out the experience. And service was wonderful. We couldnât have asked for more. A great place!
