[ "I come from South Jersey: the land of diners. But until Peter's opened, my town was only a one-diner town... and really, no town can survive that way. Before there was Peter's there was just Geets (which except for a very brief period of my teens I've never liked going to) so one can imagine how exciting it was for Williamstown to have another diner opening. \n\nDespite my obvious sarcasm, I really do like Peter's. The food is mostly really good and fresh. They have good specials. And the portions are ENORMOUS (this can either be really good or really bad). Also, almost everything comes with a bowl of soup (sandwiches, burgers, dinners) it's totally awesome! \n\nAnd the decor is fun. You get to look at Ancient Greek style frescoes (though not actually a fresco because it's not painted on plaster) of bulls with giant testicles and women with very pronounced nipples. \n\nAlso, the service is always good here (which is not always the case at Geets). \n\nThe only problem is that sometimes... and by sometimes I mean this has happened to me twice... sometimes, they don't keep the soup at the right temperature all day. No one wants tepid soup.\n\nI am editing this to reiterate the soup point- They have two soups daily. I have a feeling that they only have burner space for one pot of soup. Please, if you happen to choose the soup that is not up to the appropriate temperature for soup, do your intestines a favor and SEND IT BACK!", "The food at Peter's is fresh, cheap, fast, and good. I cant think of a better combo for a meal out. \n\ni could go into what I ate, how good it was, and why I liked it. The fact is, Ive had several meals there, all your classic diner fare, and Ive never been disappointed. Ever. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, its all good. They have that huge typical diner menu that takes 10 minutes to decide what you want, and they are flexible in fixing it to your desires. The wait staff is always pleasant and attentive. \n\nReally, if you are looking for a good diner, Pete's is the place to go.", "You know... I've been to a lot of diners all over NJ. Then I moved to California and went to a lot of diners there. Diners on the west coast seem to lack a kind of magic and simplicity that New Jersey diners have.\n\nWhen I went to Peter's Diner, I felt like I was in California...\n\nYes, it has an expansive menu with lots to choose from, and really large portions. Their special part of the menu WAS filled with some fun and seemingly delicious dishes.... But when the food actually came out it was a little lackluster, not to mention lukewarm.\n\nOur server was kind of on the rude side as well. I'm all for having fun with your customers, chit-chatting and keeping it real to an extent, but I still like to have a smidge of professionalism. I don't want my server complaining about how tired she is and can't wait to go home, then disappear and not check on us once during the meal, then come back saying her cigarette made her feel better, while making us smell the cigarette on her.\n\nI give three stars because to me, three stars is still OKAY. I'd probably give it another shot, but I wouldn't recommend it over any other place... I'm sure on another day, with another server, Peter's Diner could get a 4 star from me.", "Pete's Diner is either under new management or they need to fire thier cooking staff! Their breakfast service is a thing of beauty however we recently had dinner there on Jan 2, 2009 and it was in one word..\"UNACCEPTABLE\". I orderd the MOP burger, it was overcooked and the green peppers were rancid. My husband ordered the crab cake dinner and got a lot of filling with no crab. Even our children who both ordered the linguini and meatball children's meal commnented that the pasta was overcooked and the meatballs were not good. My kids are 6 and 3....how bad do your meals have to be for young children to commnent!. In anycase, I will keep going to Pete's for breakfast but learned my lesson about their dinners..we spent $72.00 with tip and my husband said we would we would have been better off just burning the money in our backyard...enough said.", "My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Peter's on the way back from Atlantic City a couple of years ago, since then we find excuses to go all the way out to Williamstown for this diner! I'm not originally from Jersey aka the land of diners, but this place is one of the best in the area, hands down. Their menu is HUGE and their portions are even bigger. You can get anything from classic diner fare to breakfast to salads and sandwiches to one of their weekend dinner specials. The menu can be a little overwhelming at times, especially if you're an indecisive chick like me with an impatient boyfriend, but that's pretty typical of a diner. Don't gorge yourself just yet... take home the rest of your dinner and save some room for dessert! I have yet to do that, but their case of desserts look delicious. My only complaint is that this place isn't 24/7 and on the way home from AC, that is a big plus.", "The only reason why I'm not leaving just one star for Peter's is because the food is good, and the service (most times) is not bad. \n\nHowever, there was one time I went, that the service was SO bad, SO SO bad that in fact, I should have spoken to the owner of the business over this, but did not, for fear that I would scream, and I do not like looking like an idiot, so I save my anger. \n\nWhen we were seated, we were informed by the waitress that it was the end of her shift and she'd bring us our drinks, but then we'd have a new server. A-ok by me, by all means, go home, you've done your job. 25 minutes in, we had drinks, but nobody took our order, same waitress came back, looking annoyed, she apologized and said she'd help us get our food too. She ended up doing everything for us, but the order of it all was horrible. Soup and salad came out quite some time after ordering, then just two bites into our soup and salad, we had our meal coming out. Not too big of a deal, but if you're going to make us wait FOREVER for our soup and salad, can't we eat it in peace for at least 5 minutes before you bring us the rest of our food? \n\nWhat I saw was that there were several other people around us who came in quite some time after us and had been served, eaten their food and left before we even got our meal. I complained to the waitress about this, who then huffed off into the kitchen, and out came the meanest, angriest person ever....the head waitress. She informed ME that we only waited 30 minutes, and I explained that we arrived at a certain time (documented by a call I received on my cell as I was sitting down to eat, which was an hour and a half earlier). She got angrier and said that no, we were NOT waiting that long and there was nothing she could do for us and would appreciate me not calling her a liar.\n\nFor that one experience, I'd say, go for it, go eat at Peters, but if you have bad service, I dont know who you could safely complain to. Most chances are though, you'd probably have good food and service, I just had to yelp about the one horrible time, because that's the reason I myself will never return to Peter's.", "I've been there twice, both times were bad experiences. I am only going to review the latest meal.\n\n 4/13/2010: I ordered a sauteed veal dish with shrimp and asparagus. The asparagus was cut from the end, so it was tough and inedible. The shrimp were not cleaned, even some legs were still on. The sauce was bland. My mother ordered a salad trio. It was very bland, she only took a couple bites and sent it to the trash. My wife had turkey, it was ok but not worthy of high marks. I almost never complain if a meal isn't good, but in this instance I showed the waitress, sent the meals back and complained to two people.Our party was barely even offered an apology. They didn't treat us very well at all. The bill came to $51.30.", "One of the best Diners in jersey. It's a great place to hit on the way to an from the shore", "For me it's all about the eggs, but for some reason the diners in this area have a hard time making the incredible edible egg not runny. Although they did not offer turkey sausage they at least offered herbal teas and the waitress was on top of filling the drinks. So it was ok, but not great and my search continues for a better egg.", "I've been here several times already, though I do not live in the area. My boyfriend and I found it on Yelp while visiting my family and looking for a spot for brunch. We loved it, they loved it, everyone loved it!\n\nThe first time I tried the french toast with bacon and coffee. The french toast was delicious! The next time I had a basic egg breakfast with homefries, wheat toast, and bacon. Again, it was all delicious! I sampled the hotcakes as well and those were tasty!\n\nIn both of my experiences, everyone enjoyed their food and the classic dinner experience. Peter's has quickly become our go to brunch spot when we're in Jersey." ]

[ "Thai Spice is my favorite Thai place in Indy. The staff is very sweet and attentive. The drive from downtown is a bit farther than I would normally go, but it's always worth it. My recommendations are the Thom Ka Gai soup and the Panang Curry. If you can get your dinner mate to order Panang Curry and you order some Padd Thai and steal some of their sauce, it's EXTRA good!", "Some of the best Thai food I've had in my life and I live in LA....Everything I've had here has been awesome. Yep, that pretty much sums it up.", "Very good Thai, better than most I had in SF.\n\nI am not a Thai connoisseur by any means but the food is great and the staff friendly.", "I love this place, but I wish it weren't all the way down in Greenwood. The food and service have always been very good. I'm a fan of their pad see ew, especially if you like noodle dishes. It's yummy! For dessert, I recommend getting the friend bananas with ice cream.", "I agree with Matt B., the only bad thing about Thai Spice is its distance from those of us who live farther north..\nI stopped in for lunch this past Saturday because my friend Manunya told me this is her favorite Thai restaurant. Specifically, Thai Spice has several dishes on their menu that remind her of her grandma's cooking. How could I resist such an endorsement? We took a small list of Manunya's suggestions with us so we could understand the basis for her devotion....we were not disappointed. We selected the green curry and of course, a pad thai. Both were right on target with their complex flavors and heat....wow, the green curry....more about that in a minute :-)\nBut, the big surprise was the laab, unbelievably savory little dried shrimp cakes - fried up and served with a sweet and spicy chili dipping sauce. I could eat plate after plate of these babies! Our meals were accompanied by the Thai Iced Tea - this should be the mandatory beverage at all Thai restaurants.....you don't know what you're missing if you haven't tried it! \n\nNow, we didn't even come close to finishing our meals...the Pad Thai alone was enough for three people. Naturally, we asked for \"to-go\" containers - on receipt we discovered the leftover green curry was just a bit too much for the container - nearly brimming over at the top, in fact. So, Mike decides to take \"sip\" the excess from the cup - oh....bad idea - on the 2nd attempt, he was literally left breathless, that's how fiery this dish was :-) \nThai Spice, along with Country Nutrition and Inner Path are on our list of the top three things that we would make time for next time we're down Greenwood way.", "This solid little nook on the Greenwood-Indy line was the first Thai place to open on the Southside, and it's held up with some kickin' business over the years. Alas, it's been too long since I've last visited here to recommend too many specifics, but I suspect that I had either the Green Curry or Musaman (since I often get those and use them as a gauge for the quality of a Thai place). I remember the subtlety of coconut as well as the freshness of the vegetables, with perfectly steamed rice. Service was warm and comfy. Best of all: they offer five scales for spiciness: Mild, Medium, Hot, Very Hot, and Thai Spicy. The \"Hot\" classification is more than enough for the average Caucasian. Whitey, you've been warned. Despite the intensity of the Hot classification, the other flavors still shone through excellently. I loved it as it vacated my sinuses for a full 36 hours--like breathing Alpine air...only thick with curry.\n\nWent back recently and it's still terrific. I ordered the one thing on the menu where they specifically say \"no refunds\" which I thought was a big provocative. Sorry I can't remember the name of the item I ordered but you'll see it if you ever go, because of the small print below it. I guess there's been some problems with this item? I thought it was great; peanut sauce was abundant but the flavor was not so overpowering to drown out even the onions and bean sprouts (which is tough because bean sprouts in particular aren't usually exactly screaming FLAVOR.) Go and try their summer rolls as well; they're wonderfully prepared.", "god this is SO GOOD. And totally vegan friendly, if you ask for your dish without eggs or fish sauce. I REPEAT, ASK FOR NO FISH SAUCE. One time I only said \"vegetarian\" and my pad thai totally had little shrimps or something in it. \n\nOne bad thing about Thai Spice is that there is a Pipe store in the same strip mall and sometimes it reeks of stale cigar smoke. Not the restaurant's fault, but it is a little gross. Otherwise this place is perfect!", "Best Thai food ever! The location leaves a lot to be desired, but I can honestly say that I've eaten at this establishment several times and often order something different, but have never left unsatisfied with my meal. It is good. It is cheap, especially for lunch. And it is by far the best Thai restaurant in Indy without argument.\n\nThe service is great as they're always friendly and quick. Please, if you live in Indy and like Thai, give this place a visit or three. Mmmmm! My mouth is watering just thinking about that lemongrass soup dish.", "My favorite place to eat. Always great food and great service. Everything on the menu is great, and I've had most of it. If you can't figure out what to get Pad Thai is hard to beat. Remember some like it hot and their hot is pretty hot. When I feel like taking a risk I get Thai hot, whew.", "I have loved this place since it opened!!! It's hella good!!! Now I don't have to travel back home to San Francisco just to eat Thai food. Even my girls in California love it. They have a rad lunch special. The service is great, I've never had a bad experience there, ever!" ]

[ "Pizza is *real* and quite good. Clean, with *real* ice-tea.", "Really? I've never written a Gino's review? As a founding member of the organization PWEG (People Who Eat at Gino's), I am shamed till I rectify the situation by writing a review. \n\nGino's is home to the best eggplant parm I have ever eaten. Ever. It's perfectly breaded, thin sliced, and covered in a sauce so delicious it doesn't even need cheese. But who am I to turn down cheese, eh? The upside down pizza is another menu standby. I'm a sucker for a thin crust and tasty sauce. Over the years, I've also eaten the pasta, seafood, sides, and appetizers. It's consistently delicious. \n\nOne half of the storefront is a take out joint, the other half seated restaurant with bar, so regardless of whether you meet in the comfort of your own home or at the establishment itself, I encourage you to form a chapter of PWEG immediately!", "This is one of my favorite restaurants. It's not very big but comfortable and casual. I can't get enough of their tortellini alfredo. The staff is friendly and the prices aren't bad. Food is consistently good. Writing this review makes me wonder why I'm not there more often. I think I'll work on that.", "Kate, \n As you are \"a founding member of the organization PWEG (People Who Eat at Gino's),\" I appeal to you or anyone else to get a sensible answer.\n I've given this place rave reviews previously. I went there last week, waited to discuss it here so I would have time to think about it.\n\nQuestion: What ever happened to serving \"ONE COURSE AT A TIME\"?\n\n I ordered an appetizer, clams, and an entree. \n I was taught that the first course is removed from the table when finished, then and only then, is the 2nd course served. \n As I was enjoying my appetizer, the waitress appeared at the table with my entree, forcing me to move my appetizer to the side. I informed her that she had just produced chaos at the table, and was \"rushing me,\" preventing me from enjoying my first course.\n The waitress replied, \"Well, I wanted to serve you the entree while it was hot.\" I informed her that \"of course, the entree should be served hot, AFTER the appetizer is finished.\" \n Her reply, \"Well, how would I know that?\" Am I the only one who expects the wait staff to know what is going on at THEIR tables?\n If I wanted everything to be served at one time, I would have been at McDonald's. I thought Gino's had more class than that. They proved me wrong.\n Who teaches the personell to be wait staff? Seems like it's a case of--Put on the uniform and go to it.\n We are not talking \"brain surgery\" here but basic \"wait staff\" skills.", "Feels like this place has slipped a bit over the years. I used to LOVE this place and even when we moved out of Mayfair/their delivery grid I'd go out of my way to pick up. But had to stop a little while back. We had 3 shaky pizza experiences in a row & I live by the 3 strikes & you're out rule. Not saying I'd never go back but if/when I do I'll go their & sit down & I'm certainly not going out of my way anymore. If you asked me 4 or 5 years ago I'd say 4 or 5 stars but something has changed.", "Gino's is a nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. the staff is friendly, food good and reasonably priced. I've never had a bad meal from them, whether it's take-out or dine-in. my personal favorite is a personal pizza with cappicola and onion. it's just the right size to fill you up for dinner. it's a hand tossed crush with plenty of cheese and toppings and a well-seasoned sauce. the platters are typical Italian classics, all good as well. their wings are suprisingly good too. they remind my of the wings at Chickie's and Petes, garlicy, spicey and very tasty. next time your in Mayfair and want a good pizza or other Italian dish go to Gino's. Enjoy!", "Great. Friendly...Good cheesesteaks... That's all I've had. Might venture out and go there one day. Hassle parking there though....", "Great pizza and great chicken wings. I have lunch there once a week. Their lunch specials are very good and reasonable price wise.", "Awesome pizza and great service. I recommend ginos to anyone who appreciates good pizza.", "Ordered two salads from here and they messed them both up? Really, how hard is it to make a garden salad with grilled chicken? And, they were small and expensive.\n\nI will try this place again because all of my neighbors ( I just moved here) say it is awesome and I did order a salad from a pizza joint so, maybe it should be shame on me?" ]

[ "Oh, boy. I've been waiting for this place to open and it was as good as I thought it would be.\nIt was packed on this grand opening day. We enjoyed the cod fish sandwhich on their famous butter bun. Great taste! The onion rings and fries were done to perfection. I'd never tried their famous cheese balls before and they were quite tasty. I had a small shake for the finishing touch and it was rich and creamy.\nI see this place as being a favorite fast food haunt and a place to get my frozen custard fix.\nWelcome to Tucson, Culver's. I'm glad you're here!", "OMG... It wasn't but a month ago I was at work, bartending, and talking to some guests about how much I miss Culver's, how I wish Tucson had one, and how well it would do if someone opened one here.\n\nFast forward to yestereday, I'm driving to emmissions testing and what do my wonderful eyes see, but a big, new shiny Culver's building. I had no idea it was the grand opening. I gathered my family and returned.\n\nI waited in line for about 35 minutes and was not disappointed. My mushroom and swiss ButterBurger was perfect. Super flavorful, dripping with butter and very fresh tasting. Deep fried cheese curds, amazing. Hot, gooey, crunchy just like back home in Wisco. And top it all off... A cup of custard with butterscotch. It is like eating silk. SOOOO creamy, so rich, so flavorful.\n\nThe staff was so nice for as busy as they were and it being the first day. Everyone was happy and they went out of their way. They even gave me two free orders of cheese curds!\n\nI love this place and I highly reccommend anyone who likes burgers to go here. You will not be disappointed. Way better than In and Out or Five Guys, and it is WAYYY less expensive than five guys!\n\nCulver's, thank you for finally making your way to Tucson!", "Eh. I had heard so much about Culver's that maybe my expectations were too high. Yes, the burger was good, but not great. The fries and cheese curds were also good, but not great. I had never tried frozen custard before, and I will admit that it has a smoother, creamier texture than regular soft serve. If I go back to Culver's, it will be for the custard, not the food.", "For weeks I'm driving by the new Culver's building on Broadway...several people I know can hardly wait for it to open, so I'm thinking it's got to be good. We checked it out today, arrived at 2:30P. Was impressed with the crowd at that time, and didn't even mind the 15+ minutes it took to get our burger and side salad order. They're new, it takes time to work out the bugs, so we were fine with the time thing. The fact that fries showed up, which we didn't order - and the coffee didn't appear at all until I went back to the counter were also okay. They're new and the staff seem young and a bit overwhelmed.\n\nBut I don't think it's too much to ask for your food to be HOT when it's served to you - I would have settled for warm! Alas, such was not the case, both burgers were cold and so were the fries. And the side salad was full of old brown lettuce. Enough said. \n\nWe couldn't have been more UNimpressed. When one of the kids clearing the tables asked how things were, I told her we were unimpressed because the entire order was cold. She didn't seem to know how to respond. In case the manager of Culver's is reading this, I'd like to suggest that you have a chat with your new staff and let them know this is the kind of thing that you don't want your new customers writing about...it's the kind of thing they should be coming to you about while the customer is still in your establishment. \n\nSadly disappointing experience. Good luck future diners.\n\nIn N Out Burger...you have nothing to worry about!", "I kept driving by this place wondering what it was. One day driving by my husband and I thought it was open so we stopped well it wasn't but they gave us a coupon for a free frozen custard so today we went. OMG what can I say. This was the best burger I have had in a long time. Look out Five Guys and In n Out. You get to pick what you want on your burger and the bun OMG. I was not at all disappointed in the wait. After lunch got my free frozen custard and man was it good. I know where I will be going to get me a good burger.", "burger was really juicy and tasty..cheese n bacon were also very good on the burger and the bun wus nice and toastee..dont kno if it was worth the long wait but it had just open so ill give it a pass..will come back once its not so hectic in there..definatly be worth it then", "This place just opened a few days ago. It's always cool when you get a new place in town. It's even better when that place turns out to be good.\n\nBurgers, sandwiches of all sorts and some dinner type items, like pot roast, make the menu pretty extensive. This means you will have choices to make. Burgers come single, double or triple - pretty self explanatory. You can order the \"basket\", which comes with a side (some are extra $$$) and a drink. Sides include fries, onion rings, mashed potaoes, fried cheese curds, among other things.\n\nI had the Culver's deluxe burger with bacon. It came with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. I got fries and my buddy got the cheese curds. We split them so we could try them both. As far as fast food burgers go, Culver's is somewhere near the top of my list.\n\nOh yeah, their signature item appears to be their custard. I did not try it, but it seems to be popular.\n\nAs I mentioned, this place is new. It's not without wrinkles. Once they get those wrinkles ironed out and/or some more locations pop up this will be added to my rotation of lunch spots.", "I am a little shocked at all the positive reviews of the food I am seeing. I ate there for the first time last night and my body is still trying to purge the last of that meal. \n\nI had a swiss mushroom burger which is Culver-ese for a brown sodium burger. I literally drank a half gallon of water after that burger to quench my seemingly insatiable thirst. It was ridiculously salty. My wife had the version of patty melt and could only eat half as it too was insanely salty. \n\nHere's the problem, I can drive a block up the street and drive in and out and get a nice crisp bun, with crunchy fresh lettuce and tomatoes on it, a side of fresh cut potatoes and not feel like I am Lawrence of Arabia suffering through the center of the damn Sahara desert or I can go to Culver's and get a soft oil laden bun smashed onto 2 thin hard pieces of meat covered in a brown salt based sauce. The mushrooms were meager and the swiss flavor was hidden behind the overbearing oily saltiness. The fires are a standard Ore Ida looking frozen variety, the same as you can get at your local Eegees. Only saltier. \n\nCulver's now occupies a space right next to McDonalds in my hierarchy of eating out establishments which I will eat at only if there is absolutely no other option, which would include gas stations fare.\n\nThanks for giving my a new location to avoid at all costs Culver's, now if you excuse me I need to get another huge glass of water and make an appointment with my cardiologist to get my blood pressure checked.", "Fried cheese curds: everything that is right and wrong about America, right in a little parchment sac. Dark cheese or light, small curds or large, they're breaded and fried in golden brown unity. Just wish there was a little more crunch and they were served just a tad bit warmer (besides the nutritional danger of fast food, I like some tactile challenges as well). \n\nCulver's Deluxe Burger Basket seems to be the way to go. Two beef patties, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayo...am i missing something? Oh, the bun! I didn't much notice a difference with the mighty swipe of butter, but I did appreciate the consistency of the bun and how it was soft with a bit of elasticity that kept it from tearing under the Midwest pressure to put in a solid day's work of holding that burger together. \n\nCulver's crinkle cut French fries could almost give Eeggee's a run for their money, if only they were served as dangerously hot as our hometown fry masters. Other sides looked good, and we'll probably try others once I can dive into their nutritional info and see if I can make an allergy friendly meal so the whole family can return. \n\nA single scoop of chocolate frozen custard set me back $1.99, and it was good, but I don't see the value for the money over a DQ. (If I'm going to spend more than $1 on ice cream, I'm going to hit up Frost). The rest of the menu was in line with value for product. Bonus for having Pepsi and the yummy Pepsi Max on fountain.", "This is going to be a 2 part review once now and a revisit review once this place is ridiculously crowded!\n\nFirst off parking was horrid, the lines for drive through, were almost out to the street, and the line inside was even worse. It seemed there were people standing around everywhere confused about where to go and how to get there! It was utter chaos! Once I finally made it to the register the poor girl that took my order sounded as if she was discovered in the desert nearly dead from thirst! Her voice was almost nonexistent. Her and I joked as she told me it was because she lost it working the counter almost non stop since the place opened. Yikes. So anyhow I knew this place was churning and burning at full throttle so that is why I didn't give it the worst review I could. I mean its not everyday that Tucsonans and tourists alike can order Wisconsin based fast food! \n\nWhich brings me to the order. I ordered the Shaved Prime Rib, and the onion rings. My friend ordered the Culvers Deluxe Bacon Burger and the cheese curds that we were soo excited to try. Once we got our food I was super bummed to bite into my shaved prime rib sandwich and find that it was cold! Seriously! That ruins a sandwich like this!. The burger on the other hand was amazingly good. Which is why I hold out hope that a second review and second visit might do this justice. But alas the cheese curds...... more like breaded poppers! I have never had cheese curds anywhere else and in my mind I imagined a sweet desert like cheese similar in consistency to cottage cheese. Boy was I wrong. The cheese curds tasted like they had been frozen and then flash fried, which is almost completely off of what the restaurant stands for. Better not come thirsty because to get a refill of a beverage took almost as long as it did to order, and since the lines were so long it was awkward standing next to a table in a line when someone is trying to enjoy their food. \n\nSo Culvers.... we will see you again." ]

[ "Bourgeois breakfast bistro best sums the Perch in the morning. Belgian waffles and dainty crepes are prepped with finesse in customers view which helps spark the appetite. In the heart of rich Green Hills near The Mall the prim Perch patrons in this little creperie sit properly. I wasn't proper but I was pleased. In the afternoon the scene shifts more to tapas.

As soon as the sign went up I passed the store for weeks anticipating its opening. It turned into disappointment when on its first day of opening they decided not to serve crepes and just served coffee. Ok, so opening day no crepes. Fair enough it's a new store... I then left it for a few more weeks thinking that my anticipation may have been a bit much and that I may have jumped in to early. So over two weeks later I went in to try the crepes.... I made two different orders one sweet and one savory. AND.... Dry crepes and guess what, NO espresso COFFEE! Are you kidding me?\n\nSo, the crepes themselves were ok but really nothing special, nothing better than what I could make at home and believe me I'm no chef.

That's not their fault; I just didn't get there much.\n\nSo when I found that Perch was opening in Green Hills, I was glad because Green Hills had long lacked a good coffee shop. Sure, the eBar at Nordstrom's is good, but it's inside the mall and therefore hard to reach. And I know that there are two Starbucks nearby, but I said GOOD coffee shops.\n\nSo, I brought my two boys, got a coffee and decided to try a crepe suzette. They were really nice in letting my sons and I watch the process of making it: they got a kick out of it. But I wasn't thrilled by the flavor, but the kids loved it, so it was a success(?).\n\nThat being said, the coffee was pretty good. I was expecting it be bitter and unpleasant, but it wasn't. I enjoyed it quite a bit.\n\nI admit, I like the well better, but this is a nice place for a date.", "Stopped in for brunch. Not impressed.\n\nAfter navigating the ever more crowded parking lot in the newly renovated shopping strip on richard jones road, I decided to give this place a try. I had seen the nutella waffle on the menu and thought 'how could that be bad?' - well it was. terrible. maybe one of the worse waffles I've ever had. Chewy, tough, overcooked. really bad. Out of fairness - this place, I guess, is supposed to be known for their crepes. I do not care for crepes really, but Mr BL got one and reported it was ok, nothing special. If you are into crepes, they do have a lot of choices for fillings/toppings both sweet and savory. The portions are small. The place is tiny, poorly arranged, and crowded feeling (ie-no room for kids. how you would have a place that specializes in crepes and other sweets in green hills and not be equipped for kids is beyond me). It took more than 30min to get our order. It was also more than $30 for a simple meal for two. I will not be returning.\n\nUPDATE: Mr. BL here with a quick update. After our first disappointing experience, the owner was kind enough to give us a free breakfast coupon. We were uncertain we'd ever bother returning, but this morning I had time for a long breakfast and decided to give it a go. The good: the grits are awesome - like lick the bowl awesome - and the coffee is very good. The bad: Everything else. I decided to forego the bland crepes and get a simple egg white omelet this time. I should have stuck with the grits. My omelet was a watery, unseasoned mess with undercooked bacon and virtually no cheese. I've come to the conclusion that this place simply lacks basically culinary skills (except for grits, of course). They also forgot my coffee. We are officially done with The Perch.", "Read in the paper this place opened up so went to check it out. After I ordered the cashier told me it would be a 25 minute wait, but we weren't in a hurry so we waited. Paid in cash, was given no receipt. Helped myself to a shot glass of warm water (would be great if you put some ice in there). When our food came out they had substituted the banana in the peanut butter and banana crepe for apple... then tried to tell us it was just \"really ripe banana,\" only to finally admit they had run out of banana. The guy was polite, but it was just a strange reaction. The other crepe was fine. I probably will not make it a point to go back.", "I had lunch at the Perch with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. I had the peppermint latte and a bowl of the smoked Gouda grits. It was excellent! The grits were warm, creamy and smoky and paired perfectly with the peppermint. \nMy friend had the veggies and mozzarella crepe and enjoyed it. The balsamic sauce was delicious too. \nThere was a little miscommunication when I ordered, the server was super nice and gave me a drink voucher for next time. I will definitely come back.", "Needs some work on process. Somewhat confusing layout and ordering scheme. If you watch the kitchen prepare your food you wonder how they can get any number of orders out in time - painfully slow watching my ingredients get chopped.\n\nNevertheless, my scramble did come out and was not overcooked. My mates hade crepes they were very pleased with. \n\nORDER THE CREPES!", "Very unique place to eat but you better have time to kill. There always seems to be a long wait for the crepes. I tried the sautéed pears blue cheese arugula and balsamic. Amazing! Just wish it came out quicker. Coffee really good too!" ]

[ "I had my reservations about going to Mikimoto's as I am not particularly fond of Asian fusion especially Japanese fusion restaurants. By looking at the menu on their website I could pretty much guess that this would be a fusion type Japanese restaurant so for the longest time I didn't go to Mikimoto's.\n\nRecently a co-worker mentioned that Mikimoto's had good sushi and the fish was fresh so I was curious to go and try it. Today was that day. I went with my friend with good expectations. The only table they had available for 2 was at the Sushi bar, so we sat at the Sushi bar. Wow, nice decor and atmosphere. Good looking crowd. The restaurant is crowded so I am guessing the food must be good.\n\nThe menu is filled with lots of creative and mouthwatering sounding dishes. What we ordered.\n\n- Lemongrass Sake Steamed Littleneck Clams (Sounds better than it tastes - One of the clam shell was not open, indicating the clam was not fresh)\n- Sunomono Special (Nothing really special about it. Very sour and overwhelming)\n- Sashimi appetizer\n- Chirashi ($25.00 for a few pieces of Tuna, Salmon, Crab sticks, Egg, White Tuna, Shrimp, Red snapper and side of Seaweed salad - I don't think its worth it.)\n\nThe service was average.\n\nAll in all the experience at Mikimoto's was uninspiring. Decor and atmosphere was nice. Good looking crowd, too bad the food wasn't as good. Maybe I should've just ordered the rolls. Maybe next time, if there is a next time.", "I really enjoyed my lunch order here the other day... \n\nI started with edamame and the special crab salad over seaweed, which was delicious, then had a Motos roll and Tamago sushi. \n\nEverything was good, but it was the crab salad that really blew my mind - what flavor!", "Arriving at Mikimotos, the sign on the front door read, \"No cutoff shirts or hats allowed.\" Luckily, I just happened to be wearing a shirt with sleeves on this particular evening and was thus able to gain entrance.\n\nInside, Mikimotos had a large flat-panel television showing a basketball game - take notice sushi restaurant owners, this should be a decor requirement!\n\nMy meal was very good - seaweed salad, edamame (the Japanese equivalent of the Mexican restaurant's chips & salsa), and then a variety of tasty sushi rolls.\n\nOur waiter recommended the \"Miami Heat\" roll. This greatly increased Mikimotos sports cred, but I was shocked and chagrined when I searched the menu and could not find a DETROIT PISTONS roll? What gives Mikimotos? No love for the Motor City???\n\nMy Detroit Piston roll would be Detroit River Sturgeon, road salt from I-75, used engine parts from a Ford Probe, and felt from the Pistons three championship pennants. Eat it, Miami Heat fans.", "I give this place 3.5 stars primarily because of the non-sushi part of the menu (Sushi is good, not great, but good). That part of the menu is lame for the most part. For example, I ordered Tom Yum Gai. This should have come with a caveat \"Some assembly required\" because the pickled onions, cilantro, and pre-squozen lime were merely served as garnishes and not yet ingredients in the soup, as if Mikimoto's were so afraid pushing the average Wilmingtonite to new levels of taste! This was a slap in the face. If the patrons do not have the bold spirit to match the bold taste of tom yum then tell them to go down Concorde Pike to the AZ Caf (see review) for food bland enough for patients recovering from surgery.\n\nP.S. parking was ample.", "ehhh, not impressed. we went for sushi...we were told this was the best in the area. it was decent, we had 5 different rolls, sake sashimi and fatty tuna...both were good. the rolls were ok, i think they could have been rolled better and the quantity of fish wasn't impressive.\n\ni guess people who want a SUPER loud atmosphere and want to dabble with a sushi menu will like this place. i prefer the little quiet hole in the walls with super fresh fish...i felt like i was eating fast food sushi here.\n\nthe wait for our food was excessive, and the place wasn't packed. i won't go back.", "I think MIkimoto's just got lucky with the location that they have. Being where all the major business's are they tend to be a little more busy than the average. Food is ok and its usually to loud to hear any convo. that you may want to have! I honestly think you can get the same or better meal/service at any other asian fusion in the area, Jasmines, potstickers. They may be a little better too!!!", "This is one of those Japanese fusion places with hip lighting, possible Biden sightings and a bar area/meat market for 20s professionals. I used to go to the bar a lot, but not to meet meat, to eat the half-price maki happy hour special. Great way to people watch while stuffing yourself silly with tasty rolls from 5-7.\n\nThe food here is surprisingly good. I am very picky about tempura, and they make it nice, light and airy. The entrees of seared diver sea scallops and filet mignon with tempura shrimp are really good. Sashimi and nigiri are very fresh, but I usually go with the rolls, which are plentiful, creative and well-made. Miami heat (three kinds of fish with sesame seeds and spicy sauce), Malay (crispy sea bass and asparagus) firecracker (salmon roll wrapped in salmon and dotted with hot sauce) and the crunchy spicy rolls are great.\n\nThey call the crumbs in their crunchy rolls \"tempura frick.\" Is that totally made up? I suppose you need some sort of word for it. My friend once speculated that crunchy rolls are made after they sweep the floor around the tempura station.", "Mikitmoto's has been a Wilmington mainstay for sushi for about 10 years now. I went there once when it first opened. And while I always thought the sushi was very good the price has always kept me away. (For one of the best values in Wilmington, check out Niwano Hana formerly Mikasa). As a treat for our 9 year old daughter who absolutely loves sushi (and loves isn't a strong enough word here), we thought we would take her to someplace different than our usual mainstay and indulge her with some fine dining.\n\nOur visit was on an October Saturday night at 6pm. The dining room was fairly empty, however when we asked for a seat, the hostess asked if we had a reservation. When we replied that we had none, instead of telling us the dining room was booked, she said we should go check the lounge and see if there is a seat available. There's all of 4 tables in the lounge, all of which were full. At no point did the hostess bother to check for us. I though she was a little rude, but I'll forget about it for now. We were then offered seating at the large sushi bar which we accepted.\n\nAs stated in previous reviews, the menu features a largely Asian fusion choice of fare among the wide variety of sushi and sashimi choices. Of course, our daughter gets the standard sushi platter. But my wife and I were in the mood for something different and both decided to order entrees. \n\nAs a starter we ordered 3 different rolls which were all excellent. Our choices were decidedly on the spicy side and were not favored by our sushi-loving 9 year old, but we both enjoyed each one immensely. \n\nAfter this first round came the entrees. My wife ordered the Hawaiian Shrimp Stir Fry and I order Seafood Curry Stir Fry which was a special this night. Obviously, we are both fans of fiery food. I am also a big fan of curry and while I thought the chefs choice of adding chorizo to the Seafood Curry Stir Fry was an odd one, I was willing to give him/her the benefit of the doubt.\n\nThe first thing I noticed was that my stir fry that was supposed to be served with rice was served with a thin noodle. But OK, I will roll with it. After my first bite, my meal was quite bland. Not at all what I expected from a curry stir fry. As my wife was eating I looked over and noticed that she kept dumping soy sauce on her meal. When I asked her why, it turns out that hers was also quite bland. I can appreciate the subtleties in flavor of a well cooked meal, but there was barely any flavor to be found this night. Now, preparation was spot on. The shrimp and scallops were cooked just right, not over-cooked at all. But the lack of ANY seasoning left me wanting for my daughters sushi platter instead. And as far as the chorizo? Well, it wasn't bad but....really out of place and added nothing at all to the entree.\n\nAs for service, and after our less than stellar greeting at the door, our server was very attentive and never once left us wanting for anything. Great service from the waiter all evening.\n\nMikimotos strong point is its execution of all sorts of sushi dishes. They do this very well. But if I am going to pay $100 for a meal for 3, and this included the one and only $9 mojito my wife ordered (my daughter and I drank water), I would expect a little bit more for my money.\n\nIf you MUST go to Mikimotos, then I would say stick with the sushi. You won't be disappointed. But if you are looking for value for your money then I think you could do better. I'll give Mikimoto's 2 1/2 stars since Yelp only allows full stars, but 3 might be a little too much. Points deducted for our greeting by the hostess and for 2 pretty lousy entrees.", "The threat of a long wait on a weeknight in Wilmington can only mean one thing - this restaurant is obviously popular! \nI was in the mood for some sushi, but in no mood to wait, so we ended up taking a table in the lounge which turned out to be pretty neat. The \"lounge\" seems like a result of a trendy makeover of a patio - a few bar tables scattered around a comfortable couch and ottomans, overlooking the not-so happening streets of the city. The Restaurant itself is rather trendy and definitely a watering-hole for the post-work crowd. \nThe menu is extensive although there wasn't anything particularly unique about the vegetarian maki options. Opted for a healthy libation since they'd run out of my martini picks, but the crispy tempuras compensated for any pretense of healthy eating! \nMikimotos came highly recommended but fell a bit short on the dining options front, for me at least. However, I did like the overall dining experience.", "Overpriced but honestly the best sushi in Wilmington by my account. Always fresh, staff is nice and cool atmosphere. You will have to wait during the busy times, but it's worth it to me. Take out options are also great and the party trays are a steal. I go here 2-3 times a month." ]

[ "I wanted to like this place.\n\nThe geographic elitism that pushes my nose up at Pizza shops claiming NY heritage didn't apply to this soda fountain style diner aspiring to Coney Island tubesteak fame. \n\nThe walls are a memorial to workers past, their faces look down, inscribed with birth and death dates. Historical drawings of St. Pete and environs surround them. This establishment thrives on past lives, on the memory of simple hot dogs served on boardwalks. \n\nThe regulars (and there are regulars) are friendly, jokingly lamenting about their wives, plans, and former jobs. They are served from memory, though one cracked wise about having to 'read the menu.' The menu consists of a single plastic board adorned with about a dozen items - the most expensive is a sub-four-dollar BLT.\n\nThey've got burgers, dogs, spartanly simple sandwiches, and milkshakes. I ordered two dogs, one their way (chili, onions, mustard) and one mine (mustard, but would've added relish if they had it). The dogs were disappointingly limp - i like crisp skin and burstingly juicy meat, and the chili was little more than ground beef - no spice, minimal sauce, and no beans. The chocolate milkshake was a step up - hand scooped with real ice cream and a dash of malt. \n\nI might head back just to see if salvation lies in other dishes, but for now Coney Island remains an unrealized abstraction nestled next to a freeway instead of a seashore.", "I've been coming here for 2 years shortly after moving to saint Pete and I am someone who really appreciates a hole in the wall and a good meal at cheap prices. I have only ever eaten the chili dogs here but if you are in the mood for a dive with a satisfying delicious dog then this is your place. A street vendor chili dog is 2$ of awfulness, while coney island gives you 1.72$ worth of chili and meat perfection. Again it is 1.72$, dont expect a mind blowing world champion chili but rather something that you will take a bite of and just love the blend of chili onion mustard dog and bun.\n Even though you can't fit another in your stomach you will leave craving just one more. The staff is what should be expected of a little place like this, don't be rude cause if you go at lunch time and see the amount of people that flow in those doors you'll see they don't need you. I like places like this, they know they do it right and are happy to give you the best damn chili dog in saint pete. \n\nMy usual is 3 all the way and a large rootbeer. Simple, cheap perfection.", "You order the chili dog with everything. Period. It may be a bit downmarket to the fancypants type, but I've always found it to be charming and cheap. The chili is good too.", "Living in Gainesville these past couple of years means that a trek to Coney Island is a very rare moment indeed. It is one of my top favorite places of all time to have a nosh in the Tampa Bay Area. \n\n2 chili dogs all the way and a chocolate shake is possibly the only thing I have ever ordered here... and I've been haunting their doors since the 1980s. They, of course, have been there seemingly forever. This place is a holdover from an era now long gone. I sincerely hope it stays exactly the same for the rest of my days. A sublime experience.\n\nMy only complaint is that I have to drive all the way to St Pete to have them...\n\nOK: My second complaint is one of dietary origin - since I have eliminated a lot of the sodium from my diet, places like this suddenly seem vey salty. I wish they'd back off on the salt in the chili a bit - I can add salt, but you can't take it out.", "Coney Island is in my mind a quintessential St. Petersburg institution chock full of character and dishing out nostalgia and yummy hot dogs for 80+ years. The ambiance is mid century diner with plenty of stainless steel+white tile, brown and red vinyl stools/booths, a long formica counter, and a plain white menu board that has hardly changed in all those years. Of course the main draw are the hot dogs (always sold in twos) probably followed by the milk-shakes. The dogs maintain a perfect balance between the frank, yellow mustard, raw chopped onions, and chili. However if one thing stands out more than all the rest of the ingredients, and is probably the secret to their success, it is the chili. At first glance it looks like nothing more than just seasoned ground beef, but let me tell you there is something special happening in their big pots of chili. I have many great childhood memories eating here, it always seemed extra special treat when my dad would bring home a brown paper bag of chili dogs after a day of work. It is definitely worth a trip if you are a hot dog aficionado or just want a great trip down memory lane to a simpler time.", "Classic Coney dogs...

Maybe if those edible bouquet places sold a coney island chili dog bouquet i'd actually order one.", "$1.72 chili dog...........nothing on the menu cracks 5 bucks.................been around for over 80 years.

The woman behind us had the pastrami, which she raved about, and the guy next to me at the bar had the Lemongrass Chicken Taco, which he also gave big thumbs up to (wish I'd had the nerve to ask for a bite!) I was told that the owners make everything except the bread from scratch, and that's obvious, since I've never tasted better giardiniera on that Italian Beef.\n\nThe place has a great vibe, and I'm hoping to get back soon for one of their burgers - the descriptions made me drool!" ]

The prices were awesome. My friend and I had the lunch special, $12 for all you can eat sushi rolls and one entree from the list.

I had the hibachi shrimp, which was a wonderful grilled flavor with a variety of veggies like zucchini and carrots. I think I'll get the tempura next time though because it was SO GOOD.\n\nWe got an order of pork fried rice for the kids.

FOR SERIOUS.\n\nNow to the sushi...I had the Alaska Roll (Salmon and avacado) and the fish was so fresh and both ingredients were of a generous size. Usually they skimp on something at most places. The spicy tuna roll was alright, but I think I should have gotten my favorite, the Unagi (eel/avacado) roll. It actually comes with cucumber but I prefer avacado. Anyway, I was going to make that my 3rd roll, but I was too full to order it haha. \n\nAll I have to say is....I will DEFINITELY go back and even the kids liked the place.\n\nThere aren't a lot of tables though, at least not big ones.

Pete the bartender is pretty cool.\n\nOn occasion, we even order take out from Brittingham's, which is always quick and good.\n\nWould definitely recommend stopping by Brittingham's.", "The pub grub is a-ok and the selection of beers is very authentic. We always have great service. The bar area is really comfortable, but the deck is smaller than I expected. They also have live music which I did not have an opportunity to check out yet.", "So this was one of my first expeditions to the 'burbs and I'm happy to report that it was a successful one. Went for a benefit that included open bar and stayed for the best U2 cover band I've ever seen (aptly named 2U). \n\nThe place gets 2 stars but 2U automatically adds two more given how good they were and how hard they rocked the place. I didn't know the 'burbs had it in them to be fun but I guess I was proved wrong.", "Brittingham's is nice local bar for us. We'll head down there occasionally for quizzo or other events that they have going on. Overall the pub food they serve is good and inexpensive and the beers on tap are good (although without much variety). Service has always been good and the inside is nice looking and clean. If you want a nice clean local place to grab a beer this is never a bad choice.", "Another great watering hole located in \"downtown\" Lafayette Hill. \n\nThis place, just like some other bars/restaurants in the area, is a historic landmark. Built in 1743, it was used in the Revolutionary War as a resting place for troops. During the Civil War it was part of the Underground Railroad..very cool. So with all of this history taking place inside the walls it could only mean one thing- ghost stories abound!!! Just a little history lesson for ya.....now onto the review:\n\nBrittingham's has three areas: the dining room, the bar, and the party room. The dining room has a \"grandmother's dining room\" feel to it. This section of the restaurant seems particularly jumping on Sunday afternoon when brunch is being served. The party room opens up into the main bar area and usually holds the various musicians that provide entertainment on the weekends and selected week day nights. The epicenter of Brittingham's is the spacious bar that encompasses most of the main room. It is very inviting and makes you feel very comfortable once you have pulled up a chair. Tables and booths fill in the rest of the room making it feel like a cozy nook, without sitting on top of the people around you.\n\nThe food ranges from Irish specialties, to standard bar food, to pastas, sandwiches, salads and soups. I am a huge fan of the Irish potato soup, corned beef sandwich, and the classic BLT. \n\n My husband and I walked here in the midst of those crazy snowstorms this past winter, they were open and ready to fill us with good food and drink!\n\nA great place to go for a cold beer, hot soup, and good company.", "was there a few months ago with a friend we ate there before a show i had Burger and fries spirte everything was good was good we both had the chef specail turkey noddle for soup was great and was such a big bowl like it was home made not out of a can . Then we went to see our friend Plyay we both had cofee and had Irish whiskey cake was so very good will come there again food service music waqs good down the street from my dentist so i have to return", "Brittingham's is a good place to drink. It's an Irish pub, for goodness sake!\n\nDaily, from 5 PM to 7 PM it's happy hour. ($4 Guinness? Not too shabby.) There's live music (at times), and they've got a stage (all the time). They have plenty of seating plus a bar worth its weight in booze, so bring friends.\n\nAs for brunch, they're a decent spot. Besides the bar area, they have a homey dining room, naturally lit, with tablecloths to keep it real. You've got standard brunch offerings, plus regionally-flavored ones. If you're thirsty, they've got mimosas. If you're of a mind to grab lunch, try their corned beef special sandwich ($6.75), served cold with a side of oh-so-crunchy homemade potato chips. Not sure what makes it special exactly, but it's a sound meal with lots of meat; you won't leave hungry." ]

They have outside dining/drinking in the back which is nice to chill during the summer. As an added bonus, they have 3 horse shoe pits in back. It's a very laid back \"joint\". Every now and again its nice to go to a place that doesn't require combing my hair.", "Don't go here for the food while it is busy. Try 11 am on a Saturday morning for an early lunch or anytime when it isn't packed for $1 beers and the food will not disappoint. \n\nGreat sandwiches and great finger steaks.

This is a Boise favorite.", "Oh, how I love this Goose. This Goose that is Dutch.\n\nI've been on a personal mission to find the best fish and chips in Boise, as I have in every city in Southern CA. So far, I have found nothing better than the Dutch Goose.\n\nFirst time I came here... was when I had been in Boise maybe 2 weeks... probably less. I was at Terry's on State Street on a random Saturday afternoon, and since the BSU game was on, Happy Hour was crackin. After a few too many Cherry Bombs, I was asking my newly aquired friends where to get some delicious food. It seemed as though every person there sang in unison, \"THE DUTCH GOOSE!!!\" So I had to check this place out.\n\nWe went up the street a little bit and found this quaint place that looks like a total dive from the outside... riiiiight up my alley. Going inside, I was shocked at how BIG this place is.. It is a \"order at the counter\" type of place.. and this particular visit, I was super stoked to see that they had ACE Pear Cider on tap... Much to my dismay, they were tapped out... and my heart was breaking, until the AWESOME bartender suggest a Calimocho! Oh. my. god. Way to my heart... I am such a fan of Calimochos, Tinto de Veranos... anything with red wine and soda, really. If you haven't had a Calimocho, I suggest you take your happy ass to your nearest wine bar and order one up. But I guarantee they wont be 3.25 like they are at the DG.\n\nI ordered the fish and chips, because I had heard they were quite famous. Manfriend ordered the french dip... weird... haha! The f&c is AMAZING!!!! Its enough food to feed an army.. or a drunk and hungry Kayla. I've been back probably 4 times since then, and every time... fish and chips. They have a great assortment of food, but I just can't stray from my sure thing... Plus I love fish. And chips. Best $9.00 I can spend, in my opinion.\n\nSo far, all of the employees have been super rad... plus, the cook has renamed me \"Pretty\". God damn it, he must know I looove the compliments. \n\nOh! and they have $1 beers on Thursday nights... its a small cover ($3 I think, and well worth it), but really, I can't think of a better time. I was a little weirded out by the crowd the first time I came here... it was chock full of BSU students, decked out in BSU gear, chanting and what not.. but Im used to it now. Its a type of place where ANYONE fits in. And really, who CAN'T appreciate that?", "Dive. Soso beer/food. Dingy atmosphere. Great place to get sloshed", "Really cool bar! A little dive-y but great food and decent beer selection!", "Something happened...I used to eat here, but quality and service is now poor. Ordered the finger steaks and fish n chips...too much batter and Super greasy. When I needed a to go box I had to wait for the bartender to finish sending text messages to get one. I thought all businesses don't allow texting in customer view. Can't see myself going back or recommending it.", "We've been going to The Dutch Goose for several years now. Their food is consistently flavorful - great bar food! Staff is friendly, service is fast. We have never had a bad meal or experience, and will definitely be back many more times to come.", "Friday night is the night to be at the Dutch Goose! Fresh halibut waiting for the deep fat fryer and then your taste buds! Those golden fried morsels of the sea are so delicious you'll be back for more next Friday!

[ "Whenever I go somewhere to eat I set my expectations accordingly. If it's a 5 star steakhouse, I expect to be waited on hand and foot. When going to a dive I expect the prices to be dirt cheap to make up for everything else. So if I hit a chain restaurant for food I expect it to be decent. Not great or sub-par just decent like the typical food you get at these establishments. Seems I was setting my sights too high with this place because I didn't even get that.\n\nI was too tired from flying in the night before, so I decided to check out the restaurant attached to my hotel. Yes, I know that's the epitome of lazy, but I was no in the mood to brave traffic in search of sustenance. I walked in before 5pm which appeared to be a slow time for them. Barely anyone was there and the staff outnumbered the patrons 2-to-1.\n\nI sat at the bar expecting your typical chit chat, but didn't even get that. Instead I received a forced smile and a \"I don't want to be here\" attitude. Hunger overrode my better judgment and I got a menu. Surprised by the healthier selections, I picked the California Shrimp salad which sounded halfway decent. I have to admit they were quick getting it out to me, but then again there was NO ONE in the restaurant so that's not an accomplishment.\n\nFor those unfamiliar with this salad one of its features is avocado. Black lumps that looked vaguely like vegetable matter was what appeared on my plate. I ate everything else out of desperation, pushing the horrid looking pieces to one corner.\n\nWhen the bartender came back and asked about the meal I told her the avocado looked pretty foul. She just responded with \"that's because they're not ripe but I eat them anyways\" and took my plate. Sorry, but avocado is supposed to be yellow and green, not blackish in any way shape or form. \n\nThe entire staff was more preoccupied with hanging out, shooting the shit and waiting for more business to come in than taking care of the few patrons they had. If I could give this place zero stars I would. With a hotel attached to the damn thing you think they'd be raking it in having a built in customer base, but with service like that it's no surprise the place is a ghost town.", "Fine dining at it's best, folks.\n\nOkay, not true. Sometimes I loathe myself for even setting foot into an Applebee's. But what can I say? I've never had a terrible experience at an Applebee's. Growing up near Eureka, it was one of the only restaurants you COULD count on for consistent food. Sure, it isn't gourmet. Sure, it isn't healthy or fancy. But, whatever. If you're in the mood for some mozzerella sticks or boneless wings, let's assume you aren't looking for anything fancy to begin with. Am I right?\n\nOnce thing I can say is that my husband worked as a line cook when he was in college for Applebee's. For some reason, it gives me a certain sense of security that he'll still eat there after having worked \"behind the scenes.\" At least you know nothing TOO gross is going on in the kitchen.\n\nI enjoy their Fajita Chicken Rollup which is good because it actually did take me awhile to find something I liked at Applebee's. If they ever take it off the menu, I'll probably just go down the street to Friday's or Ruby Tuesdays or Chili's. Who can even tell the difference anymore?", "Why so much hatred for Applebee's? This past Sunday after attending service, some church friends and I went to another restaurant to finish the rest of the Bears v. Packers game (I'm a Bears fan). Much to our dismay the other restaurant was PACKED (no pun intended). So as an alternative, we went to Applebee's and finished the game there. \n\nSadly the Bears lost. \n\nBut on a bright note, the service was very good and the food was not bad at all either. I had the Cowboy burger, which has bacon, bbq, those fried onion thingies and a burger that they'll cook to medium-rare (I don't like places that tell you they have to cook well-done). That, with fries to boot, and you've got a good meal. \n\nThe only downside is that they only serve Pepsi products. I'm a big Diet-Coke fan. They do have Dr. Pepper, but no Diet Dr. Pepper. There's a half-off appetizer deal on Thursdays if you buy any drink for those of you looking to save some cash.", "Sometimes I feel that Kitchen Nightmares should visit the large chains. I don't want to see how dirty the dinnerware (thing that holds the sizzling plate) is. It is dirty and it probably has never been cleaned or wiped down or anything. You can tell that whatever is caked on it is old because it is dried on. \n\nI also don't really like that even when the restaurant is not busy at all (barely any customers inside) and the service is very slow (even for a refill) but so fast to deliver the check.", "I'm boycotting all Applebee's for firing that poor girl... That disgusting woman got what she deserved and should be embarrassed !!!!! I used to eat there all the time but no more!", "The thing about Applebees is you can go to any location in any city in any state and they're all exactly the same. The food is the same, the decor is generally the same and the drinks are the same. All that sets then a part is the people who work there. This Applebees is no different however, the real treat here is Maddie who tends bar on Monday and Tuesday. She is a sweetheart and makes your visit fun. As a frequent traveler it's nice to come to a place and be greeted with genuine warmth and friendliness and for that reason I can't recommend this location enough. If you me in the mood for some American comfort food stop by Applebees in Creve Coure, sit at the bar and let Maddie take care of you.", "I visited here really late, around 11PM so I was concerned about getting food since sometimes the food is not so good at restaurants at the end of the night. I noticed on the door that they were open until 1AM.\nI got the club sandwich with mashed potatoes and it was really good. The server was nice and I didn't have any issues. There were actually a lot of people there, I think it helps that it is connected to a hotel. They had pretty good looking specials, 1/2 off a lot of the appetizers and some drink specials during happy hour and also 9:30PM to close so I will probably come back sometime to try that out.", "Accurately, put by many of the other reviewers; expectation is key. On the low end I expect the food to be decent and service as expecting of a food chain. On the higher end I am a snob for service which and practically make any experience worthwhile and even worth returning. \n\nIn this particular visit, I was having a few drinks to wind the evening down after dinner at a different location. Granted there is a free happy hour at the attached hotel, when you want a quality drink you go to the bar right??? \n\nAnyhow, the place was pretty full for dining but the bar was very quiet. There wasn't much conversation from the bartender until I had stuck around for round two. I can appreciate his approach; I was working on emails and he did not attempt to engage until I had coleted my obvious devotion to my iphone.\n\nSo, bottom line is that expectation is key. Expect to get a quiet and casual Enviornment along with a drink you can count on. If you want more, seek the obvious.", "Every time I go to Applebee's I always get the 4 Cheese Honey Chicken Macaroni. It is delicious and will quickly melt in your mouth. The honey makes it taste really sweet and the crispy chicken also adds great flavor. \n\nThe appetizer sampler is pretty big, perfect for a 4-5 people. Great variety and decent pricing. Me and a friend were splitting the appetizer sampler, turns out we both were full from it before the entrees came out! \n\nService was good. Waiter always checked on us to make sure everything was ok.\n\nBy the way Applebee's is more like a sports area with a bunch of TV's and sport decorations all over with a bar.", "We ordered a pick up order total $51. We got two riblett basket and crosscut rib basket. They are suppose to come with fries and slaw. It came with just fries, no slaw which is a part of the meal no forks, spoons ect... And also all cold and we are only a mile away so still should of been hot. \n\n And the cross ribs were dry had no sauce no flavor (I've posted a pic) I just sooo disappointed with this experience. We did get a gift card but worst experience with Applebee's and it's usually good." ]

[ "Don't bother with this place. The food was passable, but barely, unless you like all starches. The service absolutely sucked -- our server just up-ed and disappeared several times while we were there, and really, good luck getting someone else to notice you-- and the coffee, oh the coffee--if you could even call it that-- was worse, unless of course hot, brown water is your \"coffee\" of choice. I had to go into the nearest Starbucks just to get a decent cup.", "We went to the Bisbee Breakfast Club's \"Grand Opening\" on 12/5/11 because we had enjoyed the food at the original restaurant in Bisbee when we've travelled through. We and our out-of-town guests were not disappointed! Delicious breakfast choices. All four of us had a different dish and each received thumbs up. The service was outstanding. I went back a week later with another out-of-town friend for lunch, and we were both impressed by the lunch menu. He ordered the chicken salad sandwich with walnuts and I ordered their unique BLT and we shared halves. Both sandwiches were yummy. The next time I went in for lunch (they have an impressive burger menu) I sat next to a couple and their kids vacationing Tucson from New York City. They were in town for 8 days and ate at BBC 6 times! They were on their way to the airport to fly out and wanted one last meal there. What do New Yorkers know about good food? I think their patronage says it all about this new Tucson eatery that's worth visiting for breakfast or lunch. Open from 6:00 A.M. until 2 P.M seven days a week.", "My family and I went to Tucson's new Bisbee Breakfast Club (BBC) for my birthday yesterday, and we had an excellent breakfast! We all ordered something different and all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast with a biscuit. The steak and eggs were done just right and the biscuit was big and fluffy - as I remember them in Bisbee's BBC. the gravy was perfect, with pieces of spicy sausage in it. My Mom ordered the Zorba, a scrambled egg dish with fresh veggies and cheese and and ordered fresh fruit in lieu of hash browns. She said that everything was fresh and delicious and would bring her friends there for breakfast. Others at the table ordered the Biscuits and Gravy, Pancakes, The Wingdinger; and Chorizo and Huevos Rancheros, and all enjoyed their breakfasts immensely. I will definitely go here for breakfast and can't wait to try lunch! Oh, and my coffee was just fine... : )", "My husband and I tried the BBC today for lunch. Great service, good food. There really is a good choice of dishes, not all starch. I had the zorba, husband the chorizo rancheros. The feta on the Zorba lent just the right amount of tang to the dish, the green chile sauce was good, not hot.. The coffee was good diner coffee. We will definitly go back.", "I did not read any of the reviews here prior to my visit to BBC today. I had to laugh at Lindy B's review, because we experienced the same waitress situation. We waited and waited for our food order (about 20 minutes) and then she returned informing us that she \"lost\" our ticket, and she couldn't figure out how and why it happened, except that she had been a waitress for some 30+ years and she was \"regressing\". The restaurant was not busy, so I feel there is really no excuse for a \"seasoned\" server to \"lose\" a ticket. The waitress seemed quite happy that we did not get upset over the poor service, as she said we were just \"Awesome!\". And she also asked us if everything was \"Marvelous\", but I tried to contain myself and said \"No\" as she walked away. I did not want to create a \"scene\". I figured \"yelp\" is a good enough platform to share my experience.\n\nWe ordered the chilaquile breakfast with home fries and sourdough toast. Don't bother ordering this dish. Although it comes with a side of \"salsa\", it could not save the taste. Bland/Passable as mentioned by others. The \"corn tortillas\" scrambled in the egg dish are simply bag strip chips. Yum, right? Ketchup to the rescue.\n\nWe also ordered a couple of hotcakes, and I must admit those were great. The coffee is \"diner\" coffee, nothing to write home about, but passable.\n\nThe restaurant is clean and color scheme is trendy. Will I come back? I'm willing to give it another chance, but I feel that a customer should never have to consider it. I'll probably stick with a non-ethnic breakfast. What was I thinking?\n\nSad, no?", "Hi ... What can I say ... I WANTED to like this place a lot more than I did. I think it's the shake down phase is taking too long ... ya.. open a month they told me ... but the waitrons stand around looking all over and when an order comes up it just sits there... 5 to 10 minutes later they wander by (even though the cooks call out their names) and then seem all confused about which dishes \"up\" go with which ticket. That said, the taste of the food was great ... Things just need to get smoothed out a bit ... maybe they could hire some of those old-gal waitresses who can keep a place like that running in their sleep and have a gin and tonic going too to show them how to run the front end. Other minor gripes... coffee way too weak ... needs a much darker roast to go with the good flavors of the food ... and they need to resolve the acoustics in the dining room so that you can have a normal level conversation at your table and not be hearing everyone else around you shouting ... some kind of sound dampener or baffling on the ceiling might help .... not my area of expertise ... I'll give them more tries as the taste was there ... but the help needs to get a move on especially out front .. it's like there are too many of them so they tend to stand around instead of hustle. One or two near the register area seemed to have nothing to do but stand around and look at the people and stretch and yawn ... yet the place was close to filled up. I'm hoping the owner/manager is taking peoples constructive comments to heart ... it should be better than it is! I'm putting them on my calendar to try again in another month or so.", "Love this place. Love the one in Bisbee as well. Great menu, good food. Service was great and very friendly and helpful. Portions are too large which is a bonus. Chicken salad sandwich is my favorite. Salads are yummy too.", "The chairs although they look cool (chrome and vinyl) are the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever sat in. The chrome bars on the back rest dig into your back like leaning against a wrought iron fence (I think that would be more comfortable). The chrome rim that wraps the seat of the chair is higher than the cushion and digs into your thighs, think blood clots. \n\nThere is no soft material anywhere in the restaurant so it is extremely loud! \nThe food was OK not great, but not bad, however you can get a better breakfast at the Waffle House down the street for less money.\n\nThe service was good, but the waiter had to write have a nice day Psalm 12:8 on my check. I really hate when people inflict their beliefs on me. I really didn't need to be reminded about the wicked around me at the Bisbee Breakfast Club. \n\nWith that said we won't return due to uncomfortable chairs, loud restaurant, and mediocre food at an inflated price.", "I love Bisbee. I love Breakfast. I don't love Bisbee Breakfast Club.\n\nThey were hopping on a Saturday late-morning. Overall the service was alright. We had to flag people down a couple times for water, but everyone was nice and prompt. The food was just nothing special. I expected to see something more unique and fun, but was not impressed. It was kind of expensive for what it was.\n\nHowever, I can't argue with the location! Right around the corner for me. We'll give this another shot next month. Maybe I'll learn to love Bisbee Breakfast Club...", "Not much of a breakfast person but this seemed like a neutral location to have a breakfast meeting and I need reasons to review the places I wouldn't normally go, so this was my chance.\n\nThe staff is really friendly and I was seated immediately into what looked like the over-60's \"breakfast club\". Not a problem. Our waitress was great so I have absolutely no complaints about the service keeping in mind that the restaurant was not busy at all.\n\nThe food was just meh...the menu is average looking. I had to special order due to my diet so I got a dry egg white omelet with spinach, onions and zucchini (they call it squash), with a side of fruit instead of potatoes. The flavor of the omelet was very under-par. I really had to season it up. I know, I know, it's egg whites and green stuff...but I've had much better. I did not love this omelet at all but I managed to down it. The other odd thing was that out of the entire omelet I had one bite that actually had vegetables in it so they certainly don't go overboard on the fillings. That was disappointing.\n\nI would come again if I had another meeting but I certainly would not go out of my way to have breakfast here. You all may like it so don't base your decision on my skimpy meal. I noticed their biscuits are about the size of my head!" ]

[ "I tried this restaurant for the first time today, they opened recently. Stopped in to grab a bite to eat to try out their cuisine. I had the Dan Dan noodles, spring rolls and beef. IT WAS ALL DELICIOUS!!!! I am so happy I stopped by. Nice birthday lunch!", "Ban Ban styles itself as an Asian fusion bistro and I guess that's really what it wants to be. What it is not however is authentic Asian fare. In my experience Asian fusion means one of several things like, 1) I'm a non-Asian chef but my friends tell me I have a flair for \"Asian\"; 2) I'm a non-Asian chef and my significant other is Asian and she/he likes my cooking; 3) I'm a non-Asian chef and I've visited Japan, Korea, Thailand, etc.; or 4) all of the above. This is not fusion cuisine but rather a con-fusion of tastes which unfortunately stopped short of delivering. In my opinion, unless you're a real David Chang type talent, these are not waters that your average restaurateur should venture into.\n\nCase in point, like the other reviewer, I happened to stop in for lunch the other day as well. I ordered the Korean chicken wings and the aforementioned Dan Dan noodles. The Korean wings simply lacked the heat and spiciness of other Korean wings in the area (e.g. Soho cafe on Chelten Ave in nearby Koreatown) and were served with a sticky sweet sesame seed flecked sauce that managed to overpowered any spice that the wings might have had. It reminded me of a doctored store bought BBQ sauce. The homemade kim chee that accompanied the dish was sadly bland. Store bought (H-Mart is just down the block) would have been far better.\n\nThe Dan Dan noodles were anything but real Dan Dan noodles in my experience. Trust me on this one, I ate Dan Dan noodles all over China. Instead of a deeply rich brown, sichuan peppercorn and chili pepper infused ground pork sauce on thin noodles topped with the \"de riguer\" blanched baby bok choy, the Ban Ban version of this dish was essentially a mixture of tahini sesame paste, some ground peanuts and separately cooked minced pork over pretty thick noodles. Nary a slice of chopped scallion or a hint of bok choy to be seen. It was sort of a thick gloppy mess requiring both hot sauce and soy sauce to tone down the sesame paste / peanut mixture and balance the flavors. Think of the cold Chinese noodle with sesame sauce appetizer but warm and with some ground pork and that's the dish.\n\nPerhaps it's not fair to judge a restaurant on such a limited tasting menu but in my opinion if you're expecting real Asian fare, you'll not likely find it at Ban Ban. On the other hand, if a mish mash of different, \"sort of Asian like\" tasting plates is what you're looking for, have at it.", "I have been looking forward to the opening of this restaurant for a while. I took my two adventeurous children there for dinner tonight and was sadly disappointed. They do not offer a children's menu, so I ordered an appetizer, pad thai and a plate of sizzling tofu. Given that there were no children's menu, I asked for a small side of rice for the sizzling tofu. The waiter brought out a TINY scoop of rice in a bowl. This thing was literally the size of a small scoop of ice cream and they had the nerve to charge me $2 dollars. Maybe if it was a bowl of rice then i get it.....but this was a little larger than a golf ball and barely enough for my 3 year old daughter. \n\nThe food was solid, not great, however I love to support the local mom and pop businesses. Given that you are going to charge $2 for such a tiny serving of rice, I can not imagine that will go over well. Congratulations, you got my $2 for what most restaurants would have given out for free......for that price, I seriously doubt that I will return and I am happy to share my experience with my neighbors and co-workers.", "I went to Ban Ban during it's grand opening and was nothing but impressed!! I knew that I wasn't going to have a typical Chinese dining experience as soon as I walked into a bright, modern and friendly atmosphere and was greeted as soon as I stepped in. I was excited about the menu and specialty drinks like bubble teas and smoothies since you can't get anything like that in the nearby area! As for the food I was able to try not only my order but my friends due to the sharing style dining experience. I highly recommend the soft shell crab, which is a lightly fried and seasoned crab that you can eat whole, which I ate the whole plate of!! This is now my new Asian food hot spot and my family now orders take out from Ban Ban instead of our boring,lifeless, chicken and broccoli from our old take out place.", "This restaurant has been open about one week and aside from some Maiden Voyage minor hiccups, Ban Ban could be an excellent eatery. A wife (front of the house) - husband (back of the house) team operate the place. She is Chinese... he is Polish (sounds like the basis for their next restaurant!) The menu offers a variety of pan-Asian dishes most heavily leaning towards Chinese, Japanese and Thai (some marked as spicy). The decor is bright, clean and modern (yet feels slightly 1950 retro in a good way). We were the only patrons for the first half of our meal (Tuesday night, 7:45 PM). We ordered a tasty wonton soup (the wontons were pork and shrimp and beautifully made); Pork belly buns (excellent and bursting with many flavor-notes); Pineapple chicken fried rice (excellent); an excellent Mango Smoothie; Tonkotsu-style Ramen soup (excellent broth cooked 20+ hours, very good noodles, mushrooms, marinated egg and pork slices... but the broth needed to be much hotter and because it wasn't... the egg and pork slices (both refrigerated until being added before serving) were cool to cold. I kind of heated them by submerging them in the soup... but overall the broth needed to be hot. An easy fix. The only negative (and it's just inexperience) was the server... a really nice and friendly 18-year-old college kid. I asked him how a certain dish was prepared (seeking and expecting a description of the dish). He said, \"The Chef cooks it in the kitchen right before it's served.\" I had a big smile when I heard that. It was cute but clueless. I asked him to please tell me about the ingredients. He looked at the menu and read what was listed. He also didn't clear anything prior to bringing the check. BUT... he was kind and friendly and checked back to see if we were happy. I just felt that if the restaurant was packed or even busier... the newness of the routine there would have presented problems. He's a smart fellow and personable. He just needs some training. He'll get it. I look forward to coming back. Try it. You'll like it.", "The food around Abington area is not great at all especially the Asian food. This place has a nice decor. We didn't wait long. We came on a Friday night and it was more than I expected. I ordered the pad Thai chicken and the seasoning was good. The chicken tastes rubbery and the beef from the basil beef. Those two had the same texture. It's not good at all but despite the chicken the pad Thai was good. The Thai tea was not bad too with soft bubble. Overall it was better than I expected but keep in mind the food around there is not good. The service took forever. They forgot my Thai tea as well. They served the check quickly without asking if I wanted something else which I wanted Thai tea. I asked two different people for boxes. One server gave me the box and the other boxed it up for me. I would come back but the food is a bit pricey $14 for pad Thai.", "Pass... this place is trying to be something its not. Expensive for mediocre food at best. I had the ribs. Four little ribs for $11.00 To make matters worse, they were served warm, as reheated, and were flavorless. How about a $2 up-charge for brown rice. Thats more than 10% of the cost of the meal. Plastic chairs, way too much red, and poorly trained, if trained at all wait staff. Save your hard earned money. This is nothing more than a Chinese restaurant dressed up to be \"Asian Fusion\". From a menu with very limited choices, to poor execution, and prices fit for center city, this is not a gem in Abington. Dont see this place making in the long term. We are not going back and urge you not to even go.", "everything was delicious and the service was fantastic! the restaurant is really nicely decorated & comfortable! the dan dan noodles were my favorite and for dessert you can't get much better than the peanut & marshmallow egg rolls!", "My wife and I have been looking forward to the opening of this place. We finally got the chance to try it this week. When entering, there is a contemporary, clean feel. The menu is getting and back of one page, yet still offers a pretty good variety of dishes. We had the Beef Satay for an appetizer, Brussels Sprouts for a side and then Pork Ramen and Pad Thai for appetizers. Everything was wonderful!!! They flavors were all great, the Ramen broth had a traditional authentic taste, and the portions were perfect. On top of that, the owner and staff wanted to make sure everything was perfect and showed a genuine interest in making sure we were satisfied customers. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back again.", "SO! Finally got a chance to check out Ban Ban after driving by, staring up in eager anticipation at the paper covered windows. First of all, WOW! Compared to the busier themes in this location, Ban Ban is clean cut with simple yet trendy decor! We were the only folks in here and we're promptly greeted by the hostess, Angel. She was a doll, answering my mother's endless questions and laughing at my father's corny jokes. We started off with vegetable spring rolls, super yummy with big slices of cabbage throughout (cabbage lover over here). Korean ribs were next on the menu, the meat was a little tough but seasoned well, really tasty! My parents went with pad Thai which they both raved about, I went with the Tonkotsu Ramen. Now, being a bit of a ramen snob I went at this piece by piece. They don't use authentic ramen, so the pasta began to give off an almost wheat like flavor...hard to describe..like if you cook pasta too long...that flavor. It started mixing with the broth (which was AMAZING) so kinda killed it for me. However, the char siu was sliced thinly and full of yummy grilled flavor aannddd the seasoned egg...mmmmmhmmm! We all left full and happy! I'll definitely be back" ]

[ "Okay, we're going to practice some visualization. I want you to close your eyes. Go ahead...yes, even you there in the back. Now, I want you to imagine a happy place. You in the back, I said happy PLACE - no hand motions associated with the happy place please.\n\nClearly some of you are having a problem with the happy place concept. You need some more structure? Fine, I can do that. Eyes still closed everyone. So we're going to imagine a relaxing, low-key spot. Maybe near water. Water always seems so relaxing, doesn't it? That's good. Add a little sound now - water lapping, maybe a boat bell in the distance, a touch of bird call...who's snoring? Could someone please poke the guy in the back row for me? Thanks.\n\nMaybe we need to liven up the happy place a bit. Give it a bit more structure. Let's transfer this to a marina or boat dock. And I want you all to imagine a beat up looking shack on the water edge, built right onto the dock. Now if we're in a happy place and we're on the water and it's a lovely warm climate then we can't possibly go inside the shack, can we? That would have to be the kitchen or something. So keep imagining - let's put a big deck around the side of the shack, right out over the water. And maybe a nice long bar under a shady awning. Casual seating, grungily comfortable plastic-covered menus, plentiful cheap beer and wine, yummy fish tacos, docking facilities for boats...and a pool table. Right out there on the dock, under the sky.\n\nNow that's a happy place.\n\nYou may all open your eyes now. Any questions? Yes, you in the back row? Restrooms...No, I don't think I remembered to put restrooms in. Do I need to think of everything? Fine, we'll put restrooms across the lot by the boat storage. Class dismissed.", "I've only been here once, but had such a great time. The food was fresh and hot, the service was outstanding and the people who frequent Fish Tales are warm and funny. I highly recommend it! On a warm sunny day, you can't beat the views or the tiki bar on the dock. :)", "Webcams for a website? Odd.\n\nHave eaten at Fish Tales a couple of times. The first time it was okay (we had a few beers, had dinner, and played pool). The food was not noteworthy. They do not serve fried foods at all, which I find I want at a place like this (nice fresh fried fish!).\n\nThe second time we just had a quick meal, and I found that I kept thinking \"this place doesn't look very clean.\" Made me want to rush right out.\n\nNot sure I can go back again. The tucked-away waterfront location is great, but somehow they just don't quite make it in my book.", "Was here again recently. The Crab Cake sandwich, minus the bun!, was good, but nothing to brag about. The cole slaw was alright, but I prefer my own! It wasn't a total wash, but I don't think I'll order this item again. The beer was nice and cold and the bartender at the tiki bar was a hoot.", "you don't go to fish tales to eat. you go to drink and watch idiots dock their boats. but if you HAVE to eat, stick with the crab cake sandwich and/or bread sticks. solid jams.", "I love to go to Fish Tales with friends for cocktails. The location right on the water is great. They know how to pour a strong drink and the cocktails come in styrofoam cups so the drink doesn't get immediately watered down in the summer heat. \nThis place has a dock and it's always fun to watch people try to maneuver their boats up. I like that it doesn't get too rowdy and the bartenders are cool. All seating is outside and there is music and tv's for entertainment when no one is docking their boats.", "I'm grading this place 4 stars based on the type of place it is. It sure isn't your 4-star fine-dining experience, but for a local dive on the water, this place blows other local dives on the water away. I say this because you get a heap of seafood for really cheap here. And, it's good seafood! Try the skillets! Fun for the whole family. Laid back and casual, just how it should be on the water.", "We wanted a dive bar... And we found a I've bar. Just finished checking out the Dali and wanted to relax and have a drink. This place did the trick. Th waitress was friendly. And the atmosphere was very chill. Michael paid the bill but it did seem just a little steep for what we got. The drinks were not bad, but they weren't overly impressive either. \n\nIt was relaxing to just sit and watch the water and the boats while we relaxed. It was worth making the stop here. And the waitress was very friendly.", "AVerage. Yes, it's in a cool tucked away location but it is right next to, or more like in, a working marina. So you get lots of boat fumes with your food. The food was ok, nothing special, it was hard to tell the fish sandwich from the chicken each one tasted so bland. Service was good and drinks were cheap. They do have Stella on draught so that's a plus!They have a bar that gets really crowded too but I agree with Sandy, it just doesn't feel very clean! If you use the restroom you'll see the inner workings and know for sure it could use a scrub down.", "My boss and I were in St. Petersburg to do some training at the Hampton Inn on 34th St. He's from Minnesota, I'm from Charlotte, and our two business companions are from Des Moines. So we were all out of our element. \n\nWe asked the front desk attendant to recommend his favorite fish/seafood restaurant, or some place the locals would eat. He said, \"Well, it's kind of a simple bar, but it's cool, and the fish is great.\"\n\nThat's how we heard about this place! \n\nYes it is a bit of a Dive Bar, not to be confused with a Dive Shop. When we walked in, around dusk on Nov. 9, there was a group of older men and women at a table nearest the water, singing Irish fishing and sailing songs in four part harmony, a Capella.\n\nAnyway, the martinis were huge and strong, the Ahi tuna appetizers were fresh and tasty, the smoked wings were good, and the fish/seafood skillet platters were great. \n\nThe atmosphere is laid back. But the service on a Monday night was efficient, without being intrusive. \n\nThere are the ubiquitous table-side TVs, more screens over the bar, and because the place has open sides, you get a sense of the marina around you. That was nice when we were there, but I can see how it could get loud or smelly or hot or buggy... or occasionally cold. (But this is Tampa, so that must be fairly rare.) \n\nAll in all, this was a relaxing and satisfying evening, with good food and drinks. Check it out! \n\nAs someone else sort of said here, it gets 4 stars for the kind of place it aspires to be, but it isn't four stars in Zagat or any guide like that. It's elegantly shabby in an \"I've got a two-day growth of beard but I'm wearing a sport coat and jeans\" sort of way." ]

[ "Mill Creek Cafe is one of those little mom and pop joints I have passed a scadzillion times but never had the opportunity to visit. Until today. \n\nLocated just before the Mill Creek Ravine Bridge, Mill Creek Cafe has a cozy atmosphere and a decent number of tables packed into a relatively small space. You place your order at the counter, pay for it right away, then seat yourself. Your food and/or drinks arrive shortly thereafter.\n\nThe menu consists of breakfast items (served until 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. on weekends), sandwiches, soups, and light entrees. I just stopped by for coffee, and was impressed by the variety of hot beverages available. I decided on a chai latte. Prices were on par with other coffee shops, and the drink was served in a tall glass. \n\nI noticed a number of customers getting sandwiches or treats with their drinks. I was tempted by the delicious assortment of squares and cookies, but decided to save that for another time. The staff are courteous and the place is clean. Mill Creek Cafe is a hidden gem along Whyte Avenue.", "They make everything themselves at Mill Creek Cafe and they have a great variety of food. It is a nice little place and quite relaxing. \n\nThe menu has everything from soups to coffee to cookies. They people working here are very nice and take good care of the place and the customers. It kind of reminded me of Tim Hortons just on a lesser scale.\n\nAll in all, it is a great little place to come and relax and enjoy some goood soup.", "I've had the pleasure of visiting Mill Creek Cafe a number of times over the last few years. It's a little off the beaten path for me, so I don't get there all that frequently. Each time I've been there, however, I have enjoyed myself.\n\nThe Cafe is more of a local gathering place, where friends tend to meet to share a breakfast, brunch or lunch. I've found myself most frequently there for breakfast although I've been for lunch at least once.\n\nMy favourite part of this restaurant is their baking. If you're looking for a cinnamon bun that will fill you to the cork, try Mill Creek Cafe. The cinnamon buns, baked daily, will fill a small dinner plate. They are a nice mix of dough, sugar and cinnamon. They are also served with a small container of cream cheese icing. A nice touch.\n\nI've sampled a handful of other kinds of baking, including some tasty cookies (nice big ones that almost need two hands to hold) and squares.\n\nThe breakfasts served here (besides the cinnamon buns) are really tasty. I have a fond memory of a chorizo omelette, which left me wanting more. They also bake their own break on-site and it's some of the best around - always nice and fresh.\n\nSpeaking of bread, their sandwiches are great. I'm particularly fond of the turkey, brie and pear sandwich. A really nice mix, with tonnes of flavour!\n\nThe staff have always been really friendly and courteous. The restaurant is clean and inviting. I do also believe that they offer catering.\n\nSo, if you enjoy small, local cafes with tantalizing baking and wonderful breakfast and lunch menus, consider hitting up Mill Creek Cafe next time you're headed down Whyte Avenue.", "We went there for breakfast, & we found it to be quite pleasant\nThey did have staff to wait on you, but it was all the staff were taking care of you throughout your visit. You were required to get your own coffee (as much as you want). steady stream of customers for a Sunday morning, very little waiting time. Food & coffee was very good, fresh , large cinnamon bun top noch best in the city, great cornbeef hash.", "The Mill Creek cafe sits just west of the bridge over the Mill Creek Ravine on Whyte Avenue, in the less commercial part of Whyte Ave. \n\nI used to live a few blocks away, and became well acquainted with their selection of muffins on my way home from night shifts at the hospital. The muffins are fresh baked every morning, and are about the size of my head. They are to die for! I will likely be driving back to this neighborhood just to relive the enjoyment of those muffins.\n\nMuffins aside, Mill Creek Cafe has a good selection of light lunch fare that is always tasty and reasonably priced. There is a decent amount of seating given the relatively small footprint for the cafe. \n\nStaff are always smiling, service is quick, and the atmosphere is cozy and warm. I wish I could still call this place a local haunt!", "Sarah and I are still hunting for our go-to brunch spot here in Edmonton. The New York Bagel Cafe would be it if it didn't cost $20 per plate. So this morning - a Saturday, we gave the Mill Creek Cafe a try after we picked up some food for the week from the Old Strathcona Farmer's Market (boy, does this sound as if it came from that \"Stuff White People Like\" blog that was popular a few years ago).\n\nAnd probably because it was a Saturday, the cafe was completely packed. And as this isn't a traditional sit-down place with a host or full waiter service, the lack of seating made for a somewhat awkward experience. The room itself was somewhat cramped. And I found that a good amount of the silverware, and some of the glasses were not washed well. I pulled a plastic cup out of a stack which had a lipstick stain on it.\n\nThe arrangement of the cafe is also awkward. If you order a pot of tea a server will bring you hot water and a teacup.. And if you want to put sugar and milk in your tea, you need to wield your way through a maze of people and tables to get to a stand with the sugar and milk.\n\nAnd while you order at the counter, the Mill Creek Cafe serves a full breakfast. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash, which featured larger chunks of Corned Beef and Potatoes than I'm used to. The hash was good, but not anything special. And Sarah ordered the Eggs Florentine, and the Hollandaise sauce tasted as if it came from a package. But the potatoes were reportedly tasty and serving sizes were well portioned - large enough to satiate your appetite, but not so large that you need to take home leftovers.\n\nOn the positive side, the cafe bakes (and sells) its own bread multi-grain bread, which is fantastic. I'd also like to try a number of its other baked goods at some point. \n\nThe Mill Creek Cafe may be more appealing at a less hectic time than the peak Brunch hour on a Saturday. If I'm paying $10.50 for Corned Beef Hash, I'd like the experience to more pleasant than chaotic.\n\nBreakfast is served until 1PM on Weekends and 11AM on Weekdays.", "We own a little shop in the OS area and are slowly making our way through all the little eateries near us.\nToday's menu was courtesy of the Mill Creek Cafe. \nThe hubby had a tuna melt and I had the roast beef with au jus. Both sandwich's were ok, nothing to rave over, the au jus was seriously lacking and I ended up with 1/4 of a sandwich with no au jus. \nFor $8.00 and $8.50 just for a sandwich (no sides, just meat and bread) we were prepared for something a tad more stellar.", "3.5 STARS. The food and service are why people come here. The eggs benedict is about the best you will find anywhere. Period. The mushroom and brie omelet was expertly prepared and met the test. The bread is fresh and done right. The potatoes are real and yummy. The service was prompt, effiicient and home town friendly. I would have given this place a higher rating but just don't care for the decor, tables and chairs - not particularly interesting or comfortable. I guess they don't want you to stay too long. Some, however, will likely enjoy the small town, unassuming surroundings. The location is great if you are coming down Whyte Ave. but if you are looking for something a little less hurried, this is not the place. Great for a pass through but I wouldn't want to be a regular. There is better elsewhere. Moderately $$$.", "Fun facts I learned about Mill Creek last time I visited:\n\n- They've got wifi (just ask for the password)\n- The manager is a really cool dude\n- They're licensed (what's up, coffee and Bailey's?)\n- They serve weekend brunch!\n\nAnd here I thought they were just a random cafe kinda far down Whyte Ave. The more you know!", "Ok seriously, what more could you ask for? (Except perhaps more timely reviews from me...but I meant out of a restaurant...)\n\nLast Sunday, we headed over to Mill Creek Cafe to meet an old friend for brunch. Arriving for the first time at this conveniently located, locally owned diner with a south facing patio, I was pleased from the moment I sat down in the sun, outside - awesome. \n\nThe coffee is self-serve right by the entrance (kinda cool) but all lattes, mochas etc, are full service. \n\nI ordered a mushroom and brie omelette and added some Italian sausage. Wow! The serving was generous and it came with the best toast and a little plastic cup of what I can only imagine was homemade berry jam of some sort (because it was delicious and didn't taste anywhere near the kind that comes in the little plastic containers as is typical of most breakfast joints - without prejudice of course). \n\nI can't remember what my friends had, but one had been there before and stated that without fail, EVERYTHING on the menu was ALWAYS good. We all enjoyed what we ordered, the service was genuine and friendly, oh and the patio-wasps minimal. \n\nCheck this place out the next time you are wondering where to go for brunch.

Pizza is AMAZING!", "We order from this place all the time because they deliver super fast and the food is decent. The pizza though always has to much cheese. If you want a pizza with a \"normal\" amount of cheese, request \"light cheese\". I forgot to say it and tonight's pizza was uneatable. We were swimming in mozzarella. I'm from Italy and I know what I'm talking about.", "I'm a fan because they are good solid \"local place\". Delivery is fast, cheesesteaks are great. My only complaint is the fact that they always put 50 lbs of cheese on their pizzas. If you want a \"normal\" amount of cheese you have to say \"light cheese\".\n\nAs long as you do that you'll be fine. This is a good place for sure.", "Got treated to this place the other week. I had a small pizza, light on the cheese per the reviews listed here. The crust was crispy and the pizza tasted OK. But I dont see myself going back and spending my own money here. \n\nBy the way, even though I asked for light cheese on my pizza it was still greasy. But in all honesty I wouldnt expect anything else from a Greek pizzeria.", "We've been ordering our pizza with light cheese and well done and it's been great. Even my mom from Italy liked it!", "Hubby and I love this place, it is our \"go-to\" for pizza, subs, stromboli and all other kinds of food that tastes delicious but is probably terrible for you.

I ordered the burnt ends platter with 2 sides (cole slaw and mac and cheese) and paid extra for a piece of corn bread. I asked if there was BBQ sauce in my order and I was told it was on the burnt ends. \nCame home and the burnt ends were just ok. No sauce on them but a dry rub. I grabbed my own BBQ sauce from the fridge to dip in. For the most part, the ends were dry. The cole slaw was not a favorite of mine. It can honestly say I like Chick-FiI-A's cole slaw better. Took one bite and put it away. I was not a fan of the mac and cheese. It was as if they used Craft mac and cheese and spruced it up a bit. It tasted extremely processed and I am guessing the dollop of shredded cheese they put on top was to help with the real cheese taste. The corn bread was more cake like. Not good or bad but not worth the additional cost of it. I really wanted to like it since it cost $20 and it's a local business. But I don't think I will be back. I have enough for 2 (or left overs for tomorrow) but I don't know if I want to bother with it. \nThe staff was very nice and they were still talking out the ins and outs and minor details, which was fine with me.", "So happy that the void created when Rib Rack closed is now finally filled.

They smoke meat the right way. I'd give them 4.5 out of five. I had the brisket sandwich this time and it was great. Smoked perfect tender but not falling apart, nice smoke to it. Best part was the little crisp of fat that added the nice texture to soft bread lite crisp from the cooked off fat. You can tell the sauces are store made and delicious. They have mild, smoki'n hot BBQ, Carolina vinegar, and a home made Texas hot sauce. All very tasty. Don't worry I didn't use the Carolina vinegar on the beef brisket as that would be sacrilege. Best fries in town, they are browned more and have a rich taste to them. The wait was well worth the wait. I'll be back for sure.", "My official rating is actually 2 1/2 stars, but there isn't a \"1/2\" option on Yelp, and since Fat Jack's in Elkins Park just opened the doors a few hours ago, I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, even though I was kinda disappointed... after all, I've been waiting a long time for this location to open since I live practically across the street.\n\nSo let's start out with my big disappointment... They don't serve baby back ribs. And here's why (and I'm quoting the menu VERBATIM): \"... we only use St. Louis cut Ribs 'round here at Fat Jack's BBQ!! REAL Pitmasters don't use Baby Backs\".\n\nWait. WHAT?! Now while Glenn A. Gross \"won more than 200 local and national awards, grand championships and state championships\", There are plenty of REAL Pitmasters who have won national awards, grand championships and state championships with Baby Backs. In fact, I Googled \"St. Louis style ribs vs. baby backs\" and after reading the findings on about 5 or so websites, I have determined that the general reference among pitmasters and consumers is about 50/50. So, I really think it would behoove Glenn to rethink the decision not to offer the baby back option. Because next time I'm craving ribs, I'm driving to Ambler to get the baby backs at The Lucky Well.\n\nThat said, I really did go in craving ribs, so I went ahead and ordered a half rack of the St. Lou-eez. I was hoping for sweet potato fries as well, but alas, they're not an option either. That's okay, though. I like regular fries, too. Their regular fries as it turned out are actually pretty awesome. Skin-on, crisp, flavorful, nice'n hot. Practically perfect. But the ribs...? Not so much.\n\nOut of half a slab (5 ribs), only half of those were enjoyable. There were a couple ribs that were on the tender side, but for the most part, this slab was WAY overcooked. I could have gotten a package of beef jerky and slapped some sauce on it for a similar culinary experience. The texture was stringy and the meat was like chewing on rawhide. Their sauces are SMOKIN', however, so that was a saving grace and the reason i leaned toward the three stars.\n\nNow REMEMBER - this WAS OPENING DAY! So this review is really here to hopefully help them work the kinks out. As a matter of fact, I'm heading over there tonight to give it another shot and I'll update my reviews to be as fair as possible. One thing I won't be ordering is the ribs, though. Too soon. Let's see how they are in a few weeks after they've had a chance to read their Yelp reviews and tweak their menu. Tonight I'm going to keep to simple and go for a bacon cheeseburger. I'll let you know.\n\nOne last thing. The staff. They kitchen crew were hustling. They looked a bit stressed (I did go in at dinner time - so business was peaking). The young woman at the register who took my order could have been a little more helpful. The place was loud and she was a little too soft-spoken and when I asked about sweet potato fries, she didn't mention that had mashed sweet potatoes, only that they have regular mashed potatos. Also, When I was home looking over the takeout menu, I noticed that it's cheaper to order a combo with 2 sides. I had only ordered a half slab with one side, so it would have been nice if she had mentioned the combo price and asked if I would like another side. It's something I would have done back in the day when I was a server and a bartender. Hey, but that's just me. All righty then...\n\nI'm getting' hungry. Heading over to Fat Jack's for Round Two. Later!", "I was born and raised in the south so I like to think that I know my BBQ. I am even sitting here writing this review while wearing a Central BBQ t-shirt (die hard BBQ lovers will understand). I ordered the Notorious PIG sandwich and was blow away, this is easily one of the best BBQ sandwiches that this 41 year old man has ever eaten. This location just recently opened and they are already firing on all cylinders. The Hot BBQ Sauce is amazing and I will come back the next time i am craving some good BBQ. Well done Fat Jack's in Elkins Park", "Update - Much better. I told you in my last review of Fat Jack's BBQ that I was heading over there to get a Bacon Cheese Burger. Well I did and it was extraordinarily good. I paid a dollar extra and got Mashed Sweet Potatoes instead of the fries and they were pretty good. Maybe a little too sweet, but that's a personal preference. Fortunately, I have a sweet tooth, so I enjoyed the heck out of 'em.\n\nBack to that burger, though. When I ordered it, the manager, whose name I forget to ask, rang it up and told me it would be about 15 minutes. I said okay,paid and sat down outside to wait. About a minute later, it dawned on me that if you cook a burger for 15 minutes, it's going to turn out very well done. So, I ran back in and asked him to PLEASE not let them overcook it. He politely explained that all of their burgers are cooked well for health code rules yada yada. But having been in the business myself, I'm already familiar with the code. So after going back and forth for a minute, he agreed to meet me halfway and make it medium-well, and he promised to personally keep an eye on it so it wouldn't come out like shoe leather. And it came out perfect. Juicy. Tasty. Awesome burger. Awesome bun. Happy Hal.\n\nAt this point, it seems I'm raving about the place, now, right? SO why didn't I change the rating to 4 stars? Because after this 2nd visit, the average is now bumped up to 3 1/2 stars. Since there are no half-stars, It's gotta stay at 3 until I try the ribs again in a couple weeks and see if they improve. I know the potential is there because other reviewers here are raving about other items on the menu. \n\nAnd once again, let me humbly suggest Fat Jack's include Baby Backs as an option. Perhaps you could consider it after you go through the current menus so you don't have to reprint them all right away :-)", "So happy that the void created when Rib Rack closed is now finally filled. Loving the brisket, pulled chicken and even healthy salad selections for my wife. I'm loving it!", "Best BBQ around. Great customer service. Some friends and I called the wrong store and placed a large order. When I went to pick it up, obviously the food wasn't there but the manager insisted that he remake the order for us. Would highly recommend!", "Woke up Saturday morning wanting beef...and steak and eggs wouldn't do. I wanted brisket! I yelped, called my fiancé, he hurried over to my place and off we went to Fat Jack's. When I tell you it was everything I imagined, it WAS everything I imagined. We were the only 2 people there at 11:00 AM. They gladly gave me a sample of their burnt ends ( brisket cooked a little longer) it was amazing and the sample was enough to satisfy my craving so I ended up ordering 4 beef ribs, 10 buffalo wings and a salad. Before ordering his food my fiancé asked \"Where are you going to put all that food?\". Of course I said \"I'm going to eat it!\" haahaa. My fiance ordered burnt ends, collard greens and chicken fingers. Let me tell you how I was in heaven. The customer service was awesome and the food even better! I guess I'll share pics of our breakfast lol....it's the breakfast of Champions lol." ]

[ "The wait is over! Dickey's Barbeque Pit in the North Valley's Area has gotten a lip smackin' response. After the demise and odd closure of the Summit Sierra location, and a downward spiral of the Plumb Lane location that is giving it a thumbs down for most, this location is taking the slack and running with it! Cheerful staff! Food that is flavorful and addictive! And portions that make you go, \"That's a lot of food for the money!\" One bite, and you're hooked! \n\nOnly thing giving these guys a 4 out of 5 is seating. On a BUSY Friday night, good luck finding a place to sit and outdoor seating is a no go. This location also does something smart, NO PUB! They do offer some bottled spirits if you really have to have alcohol, but it's worth just sucking down some sweet tea in a Big Yellow Cup - a take-home cup that you will end up with a ton of if you're not careful! ;)\n\nCan't wait to go again, and I DO recommend the Spicy Cheddar Sausage and the pulled pork as meats, Mac and Cheese and Sweet Potatoes (not on the menu but at this location) as sides, and a slice of Pumpkin Pie to end the meal with indulgent comfort.", "Super good! The best ribs Ive had in a restaraunt in years! We ordered the xl family meal $40.00. Came with 1 lb ribs, 1 lb of briskitt, 1lb of pulled pork. All of witch seemed way more than a lb. All very tender and juicy light smoked flavor, never overpowering. I didnt care for the choice of bbq sauces.{5years in KC MO makes you picky about what sauce you put on your meats} Really yummy rolls hot and fresh! We chose cole slaw, baked potato casseroll ,and green beans. All of them were great my favorite was the green beans. Free whole dill pickles, yummy!!! and free soft serve ice cream cones. We will be back again!", "Yes! The North Valleys always has room for fun, quality restaurants of all kinds. We were very excited to see this location open. Even though we had never been to the other locations in town, I had heard it was good food. And good food close to home is always welcome. \n\nDickey's has an extensive and delicious menu. There are more meats to choose from than I can name off the top of my head. But I guarantee, whatever you're in the mood for they likely have! There are several different sauces to choose between but I generally go for their standard. My son is a huge fan of their sweet sauce and my husband loves the spicy. And they have a great sides menu too. There's the standard selections (Mac n' Cheese, Coleslaw, Potato Salad, Fries in the waffle shape, etc) and then there's a few that are a little more different. My favorite by far are the onion tanglers. They are fried onion pieces and they are incredibly addictive. I could probably stop in for just an order of those and leave happy! In addition to all that, they also offer free pickles and soft serve ice cream. That's a hit with the kids, I assure you! \n\nYou can sit down to eat or get your order to go. We have done both though we more often do the take out. It's easy for my husband to pick up on his way home from work and we can avoid the crowds. At least up until now, Dickey's has been pretty busy on a regular basis and sometimes it can be difficult to find a table. \n\nThere is a television generally tuned to a sports station for entertainment. It would appear they offer wi-fi but I've had issues getting the free wi-fi service to connect to my iPhone. Luckily, there's a Starbucks next door with free AT&T wi-fi for subscribers so I'm not left entirely out of the loop while I'm there. This is a good thing since 3G service in this location is poor at best. \n\nAll in all, I'm SO happy to see Dickey's come to the North Valleys and I know we will be back again and again and again!", "\"Slow smoked, Served Fast\" that's the motto. My only let down was the lack of ice cream. The machine was down.\n\nI have eaten at DIckeys here in Reno before. This location is fairly new but was packed. Thats usually a good sign. If you have never been to Dickeys before they feature free pickles and ice cream. Plus they give you a yellow cup that i consider a collectible. \n\nThe meat is smoked to perfection and the sides have never let me down. Dickeys is one of those places that you must try.", "Fantastic! You get a TON of food for your money. My wife, my kids, and myself just walked in the door from eating here and we are all in need of a gurney due to the food coma we're about to slip into. And we came home with 2 full to-go containers. I had the westerner sandwich with brisket and cheddar sausage (Thanks Yelpers for the tip!). I got beans and onion fries for my sides. Absolutely delicious. My wife got a brisket sandwich with fried okra and mac'n cheese. She can't move she's so full. The kids meals are not only a great deal but just as good. $4 for an entree, side dish, biscuit and drink. Couple all this with amazingly good all you can eat pickles, kids eat free on Sunday's (The total for our entire meal was $17 to feed a family of four and bring home enough leftovers for a whole 'nother meal) and great, friendly service, you get, \"Woohoo! As good as it gets!\" Oh yes, we'll be back. We will be back. Often.", "Pros: Super casual environment. Great for families. Especially when kids eat free on Sunday. Lots of create-your-own type entrees with mix/match side dishes and meats. \nCons: No servers. Usually only one cashier, so you can spend 10-20 minutes waiting in line to put your order in and then another 10-20 waiting for your food. We were taking our kids every Sunday since they opened. In the beginning, the food was hot and fresh. Lately, the food has been cold/warm and last week the mashed potatoes were FROZEN in the middle! Also, every Sunday, like clockwork, the soft serve ice cream in 'broken' or Out of Order....hmmm.", "This place is wonderful for those nights I don't want to cook. The service is excellent and the food is tasty. I'm a little bummed that the ice cream machine has been broken for over a month, but they promise they are just waiting on parts to fix it. I recommend the giant stuffed baker.", "I want to be fair. I have tasted real Texas BBQ. The food here can be quite satisfying. I was excited when they opened a location relatively close to where I live. Unfortunately that is where the good part of the review ends.\n\nI have only ordered take out at this location. Everytime they have omitted item(s) from the order. Their lack of attention to detail has frustrated me to the point that I will no longer patronize this location. They don't seem interested in improving their service.", "I'll give Dickey's thee stars, but my one meal here actually was probably two stars. I trust other food is better.\nI got the rib tips with sides of green beans and mac and cheese and also blackberry pie.\nThe rib tips were spare ribs. They were of poor quality to begin with and I didn't like the sauce. The green beans were soggy and didn't have much green bean flavor. The mac and cheese was okay. The blackberry pie was okay, too.", "April 30, 2012 Monday - diner 6:45 PM\n2 adults\n\nAtmosphere - 4 stars\nFood - 4 stars\nService - 4 stars\n\nBackground - First time to this location but been to another location.\n\nAtmosphere - Huge menu board by the register with some of the items having pictures. The soft drink and condiments station did not have a garbage can nearby so straw wrappers and napkins were piling up.\n\nFood\n Appetizer - none order.\n\n Main Course - Went with the rib platter, I think I got spoiled with the St. Louis style rib cut from the Rib Cook Off. They cut their ribs differently which gives you a little more meat but also gives you a little more cartilage. Meat did fall off the bones. One of the side dishes I went with was the hush puppies, five little balls of heaven.\n\n Dessert - Had a free cup of the swirled soft serve. The vanilla was a little too icy for ice cream.\n\nService - The cashier was helpful and pleasant. They bring the food to your table based on the number the cashier provides you. I just wish they had wet naps somewhere.\n\nFuture - When I need some BBQ." ]

[ "Went here for the soft opening last week because they were doing a cool \"donate $5 to charity and get a bunch of food\" thing. I was not familiar with the chain, but who doesn't love burritos. I should start by saying that the brand new staff was super great. They were passing out samples before we ordered and telling us about the origin of the chain. We also had several people come to the table while we were eating, asking if they could get us anything. \n\nI got a \"monster\" size burrito, which is massive and probably more than anyone needs, unless you starve yourself for the whole day leading up to the meal. It was quite good. The highlights were definitely the meat and the queso, which is even better than their competition chains in my opinion. The salsas were a little lacking in flavor, but I can't say I tried all of them. They have what seems like a cool rewards system through an app that also seems like a pretty good deal. \n\nI reserved a star for a couple small reasons. The parking is not ideal and it is not located in a very accessible area, although what place in green hills is. I also didn't care for the largely shredded cheddar cheese which seemed a little inauthentic, even for a Tex mex burrito spot. Just seemed a little bit like something straight from Kroger. Also seemed a slight tick down from a chipotle or something in terms of \"freshness\" of ingredients like veggies. \n\nOverall, I loved it and would happily go back", "Was super excited for this spot to open up because I work in close proximity. \nI swung by on their first preview day; the line was wrapped around the side of the building. The general manager was walking around letting people try chips with queso and guacamole. He was very informative and personable. He space itself is inviting and open. I will say I'm concerned that there isn't enough parking. \nOnce we got to the ordering line, we got to pick what we wanted in our burrito. There were a lot of options to choose from and everything looked great. I chose a spinach tortilla, steak, queso, black beans, pico, and cilantro lime rice. The queso they have is fabulous. I really liked that everything was super fresh and authentic. The salsa tastes super fresh; it was delicious.\nThe burrito was fantastic. I was amazed that they even serve breakfast foods. \nIf you haven't tried this spot yet, you're missing out. Getchu some.", "I am thrilled this restaurant just opened in Green Hills - it's so convenient to my work! We had this catered in for our work lunch today and it was delicious. I had the burrito bowl with cilantro rice, carnitas, cheese, pico, guac, sour cream and their creamy jalapeño sauce (which is AMAZING, I want a tub of it to put on everything). Our entire office loved it but I docked a star due to many missing toppings on our group order. I'll attribute this to their recent opening, but my coworker order a veggie bowl with nearly every topping available and only received rice and tomatoes, and many of us were missing dressing/toppings like guac or sour cream. Hopefully the next time we order out or stop by, we won't have quite so many mixups! Overall a tasty meal.", "I stopped on the 1st day to check it out. The parking was a problem. I was thinking it may calm down once the newness wears off.\n It reminded me of Chipotle Mexican Grill. It's hard to say which one is better. I would say that the food is good and priced reasonable. I would not drive out of my way to go to Freebirds but I would stop and pick one up to take home if I were in the area.", "In a nutshell, a somewhat better Chipotle.\n\nFreebirds is, relative to other fast-casual dining chains, above average. The burritos are large, reasonably priced, and pretty tasty. The menu offers a lot of variety and customization, which I really like. If you're in the mood for a good, cheap-ish meal, this will do.\n\nThat being said, it's nothing stellar to write home about. In a town with many more great taco joints--Mas Tacos, Taco Mamacita, Bakersfield, Little Donkey, Rosepepper, or Bajo Sexto, to name a few solid ones--Freebirds just doesn't stand out enough. It's decent enough to try once, but nothing special that'll keep me coming back regularly.\n\nOther annoyances: the line is really long (~30-40min.) and parking is tight. The staff are super pleasant and helpful, though.", "Service staff was rude and food is basic at that, better than most n Nashville but is just basic. I grew up on Mexican Food and have been eating at the same place 35 years, even after moving to NAshville 12 years ago. This place is twice the price I feel of what you El toro Bravo in Costa Mesa CA (35 years and still the best) and more recent now closer to me Los Primos Mexican Taqueria who is the very best in all TN hands down. Freebirds line staff tto make your food was and I will not be back to pay for such overpriced food from a chain store no better than a Chipotle and we all know what happened there as it was in the news, hands down support your local owned places if you want the very best and freshest authentic mexican food.", "I am not sure what happened with these reviews rating less than 4 or 5 stars, except that this place was slammed for the soft opening and opening week and fighting the crowd was likely too unpleasant for everyone? I thought staff were awesome, welcoming, friendly and super efficient --- and also I saw them being quite patient (moreso than I) with the 38,794 questions from the woman and child asked in front of me in line. I do wish they turned the music down a bit b/c between the crowd and the blaring music it was *loud* and hard to hear each other across the burrito line. \n\nFor everyone complaining this is not authentic Mexican - well, no, and I don't think it pretends to be. \n\nIt *is* however, very tasty Tex-mex. The set up is like Qdoba, Chipotle or Baja Burrito - choose your taco or burrito sizes and tortilla flavors and point to what you want. Their meats are deliciously char-grilled and nothing is too salty, thankfully, unlike the afore-mentioned burrito chains. \n\nThe cilantro lime rice is so good and the refried beans are not really refried so they are healthier than they may otherwise be. I was lucky enough to make maybe a dozen visits to Austin some years ago and these burritos take me back in time like some kind of Proustian madeleine.\n\nI have been three times and gotten a little rice krispy treat (they are made with extra marshmallows) every time, they are soft, not to sweet, and not too huge.\n\nI do wish they would stay open later (!) Otherwise, I am really glad they decided to open a spot in Nashville.", "If chipotle and Taco Bell had a love child, this would be it. Super tasty tex mex with lots of options for toppings. Love that they offer different burrito sizes and different tortillas! Also, the staff is super friendly which I truly appreciate! Especially when I'm with my toddler.", "My new favorite burrito joint!\n\nI ordered online, and when you pick it up it's waiting for you on a shelf so you don't have to interact with anyone, so I didn't get to see how the service was but that was really convenient! \n\nThe food is REALLY delicious and seemed really fresh. I appreciate them having a fresh spring mix along side romaine so I can get in a little more nutrients. I filled my burrito bowl with things I normally get at other burrito joints, and when I did the online nutrition calculator the bowl was much lower in calories than the other places I go to! So now I don't feel as guilty getting a huge burrito bowl. I'll most likely go to this place much more than other burrito places. I'm hoping to try to queso soon. The variety of what you can get is great and I really enjoyed it.\n\nThe only reason this is not 5 stars is because the parking lot is very small and the slots are very narrow, and if you're able to find a spot to park it's a hit or miss with being able to fit your car in. I could barely open the car door to get out being next to two other compact cars, but thankfully I was just going in and out so no one could accidentally hit my door with theirs. But it's not a reason not to go! It's very yummy.", "Freebirds is a great place for a quick lunch or dinner. The set-up is similar to qudoba or Chipotle except Freebirds has staff that come around and pick up your plates and trash. \nThe ingredients were fresh and tasty! I got a buritto bowl with Cilantro rice, black beans, carnitas, pico, and queso. Queso costs extra. \nThe portions are large and service excellent. I suggest trying it out! It would also be a great place to bring the kids." ]

The service was prompt and timely.\n\nNow to the most important part: the food.... \n\nMy dining companion and I shared a Creamy Cauliflower soup, Baked Falafel Salad, Cheesesteakless With Vge Sandwich, and Vge Burger Sandwich. All were delectable! It's hard to believe that nothing is fried because the baked falafel and vge burger were both moist with wonderful flavors and texture. We really loved all the items we ate. My (meat-eating) companion and I left the restaurant feeling full, satisfied, and thrilled to have found food that is extremely healthful and extremely delicious. We grabbed some cupcakes to-go and look forward to our next trip there!", "Vge offers diverse selection of healthy sandwiches in a bright, clean environment. I will definitely return. I will say that the tofu banh mi (which I ordered even though I don't eat much soy, just because I love this type of Vietnamese sandwich), was not very authentic tasting, but it was a good, European tofu sandwich. By this, I mean that it was not spicy at all, was served on a grainy roll, and the primary flavor was of dill-flecked vegan mayo. Yummy, yes - a banh mi, maybe not. Luckily, there are several other sandwiches that look good, and knowing that the quality of the food is good - even if the interpretations of classics is a bit on the quirky side - I'm eager to try them, as well.", "Stopped in here today and really enjoyed the food. The menu looked stellar and the BBQ Seitan sandwich that I had was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Plus, the place was really bright and clean.\n\nMy only gripe - no side dishes. The sandwich that I ordered for dinner was just that, a sandwich. That would cut it for lunch, but not so much for dinner. A sandwich should be served with something. Perhaps a small side salad. Even if sides were only available for an extra (but reasonable) fee, it would bump this place up to five stars. There need to be some add on options besides soup.", "Update: the Vge burger was much better than the banh mi, and things are getting better than ever, now with desserts, natural fountain sodas, and soups. Highly recommended.", "When I heard that a new veggie restaurant was coming to Bryn Mawr, I was elated. And Vge has not disappointed me.\n\nWith a variety of options (wraps, sandwiches, soups, salads, desserts, and more), Vge is an excellent choice for any veg person. \n\nBoth times I have been there, I have been surprised at how appropriately sizable the portions were. They were much larger than I anticipated for the prices. In other words, the prices are completely reasonable.\n\nI would suggest any veg person or veggie-friendly people head here, and with friends. The place is clean, delicious, and pretty quick in terms of food preparation.", "Judging from my experience as a restaurant server, people are just crazy for Caesar Salad. After seeing how it was made at a certain chain restaurant over the years, I had to agree that it was indeed a Seizure Salad, which is how many of our customers pronounced it. \n\nBut not at Vgë Café! I could not wait to get here to indulge in a Caesar Salad, which I once thought was lost forever to me. It was large, fresh, and much much healthier than any I'd had before, no anchovies either. Delicious croutons and dressing! I opted for the extra tofu for $1 more, which made it even better.\n\nVgë Café is a casual classy lunch and early dinner spot in downtown Bryn Mawr, right across from Greene Street Consignments. Make sure you realize it is WEST Lancaster Avenue, after Villanova on the way into Center City. It has now been open five weeks and should become very successful. Oh, if only I had this in my town; it would be a weekly takeout joy.\n\nThe menu shies away from mock meats, except for locally-made seitan. There is a better soda machine, no HFCS. The falafel is baked, not fried. Portions are big, and the prices are very reasonable. The owner was previously a finance guy who has worked at Chrissie Hynde's vegan restaurant in Akron. All of the plates and cups are compostable!\n\nMy creamy kale soup, made from scratch as are all the soups, was delicious and went perfectly with the salad. I did not have enough time to try the Brazilian Coconut soup. My spouse loved his barbecue seitan sandwich which came on thick ww bread with roasted peppers and greens. Any sandwich can be made as a wrap. The burger is homemade lentil/flax, and next on my list is the black-eyed pea salad with roasted corn. Desserts are from Vegan Treats and another local baker. We split a lemon cupcake.\n\nEven at 2pm, there was a constant stream of customers. The space is well-designed, orange and green and bright, and would seem to welcome children. I was very grateful there was no tv, just big murals of vegetables overlooking the room. No hippie music either, but rather a cool array of GenX-demographic classics like Pretenders and Cure.\n\nI can also imagine this cafe low-lit with candles for an occasional evening speakeasy-style BYOB meal.", "This place is pretty great. A vegan cafe outside of the city limits gets immediate props for being unique. I tried this place on a very rainy Friday evening. My husband and I split two sandwiches, both on very tasty whole wheat Le Bus rolls. The tofu bahn mi was nice with layers of tofu, daikon, carrots and cilantro aioli. What the bahn mi lacked in heat, it made up for with a very tasty cilantro sauce. The bbq seitan was very tasty and had a good amount of healthy cooked greens and caramelized onions. My only complaint on the two sandwiches was that there wasn't enough between the rolls. The rolls are very hearty and you really need a lot more filling in order to taste more than wheat. \n\nI also had the fountain ginger ale which was kind of like a watered down ginger ale, but good and refreshing. They make their own sodas and use no HFCS, which is fantastic. I was pretty full after dinner, but I had to save a little room after seeing the dessert case. The vegan coconut cupcake was sublime.", "I am so happy to have found Vge Cafe! They are part of a growing movement of vegan take-out and it warms my heart.\n\nThe sandwich bread is wonderful LeBus bread that is so fluffy and not chewy. The bread will not exercise your jaw. While it is very fluffy, it is very big and can fill you up fast. Let me review what I have had there:\n\nThe Bahn Mi: I call this sandwich a celebration of cilantro. If you like cilantro, you will love this. If you have even the slightest negative feeling about cilantro, avoid this sandwich at all costs. There is cilantro two ways: fresh cilantro and a cilantro dressing that really makes you know what ingredient is running the show. Apparently, they use the cilantro dressing on one of their salads. I would be intrigued to try that.\n\nThe Cheesesteak: I had this as wrap because I was not hungry enough for all that bread. Decadent taste. Made the right way with Daiya mozzarella. Just the right amount of Daiya that runs along one side of the wrap. I like that they let the cheese have its own little area rather than try to intermingle it throughout the seitan.\n\nThe Barbecue Seitan sandwich: Tastes very much like meat loaf. So let that be your guide. Not as good as the bahn mi or cheesesteak.\n\nThe cheesecake: The slice is huge! I felt like I was at the Cheesecake Factory! Good but more of an alternative to cheesecake than tasting like cheesecake. That is a good sign because it tells me that no artificial flavor is involved. Comes with brownie pieces on top and a chocolate crust. A nice mild sweet taste. Next time I would cut it in half and save half for later.\n\nIf you are on Lancaster in Bryn Mawr, you owe it to yourself to check out Vge.", "I am so happy that this cafe opened across from Greene Street because I can now get my veg fix and vintage accessories in one fell swoop. I stopped in to try the sandwich selection and decided on the vegan cheesesteak, which was comprised of seitan, mushrooms, peppers, and plenty of onions on a soft Le Bus roll. While I personally prefer Sarcone's or Conshy's rolls, the sandwich was very good and the vegan cheese surprisingly creamy. The seitan was juicy and I really liked the extra peppers and onions, which gave it a nice flavor boost. The muli-grain roll definitely added to the virtuosity. Service was very friendly and fast, and my coconut cupcake was fantastic. Be sure to try this place if you are in the area (and stop by Greene Street after too!)." ]

Waitstaff was not particularly friendly, but got the job done. The Roast beef itself was kind of dry on a hoagie (a grinder or sub depending on where you're from), but my friend had the pork and loved it.", "Nick's Roast Beef of Old City is a bar, and a slightly dingy-looking one at that. The bartender there that night was funny and didn't waste any time when it came to making drinks. The place was crowded and the crowd was boisterous. People were cheering along a sports game.\n\nI had a the best stuffed mushrooms I've had in recent memory, with a spicy, tangy dipping sauce (recommended). Their cheesesteaks are ho-hum but tender and warm. Get the mozzarella cheese sticks, they're sure to satisfy.\n\nWorth a visit if you don't mind a crowd. Cheap, tasty food.\n\nUPDATE: Came back for dinner in December and sat in the back - got a variety of sandwiches, which weren't half bad (the roast beef club isn't all that, but I'm not a fan of roast beef anyway) fried mushrooms, and an order of \"hot\" wings. Jessica (our server) brought out everything fast, and I still love their stuffed mushrooms.", "This is the kind of bar that my grandfather would love. Good food, lots of \"old man beers\" and a fish tank / sports TVs to watch.\n\nOther old men agree, as this is filled with them. The music however, is not for old men with its Beck, Morrissey, and whatnot.\n\nThe roast beef sandwich is cheap and delicious. The golden brown french fries are good too. This isn't the place where two people should go to tie one on, but its great for a group of friends to have casual drinks and an array of party/comfort food in a relaxed, spacious setting.", "This is actually the worst restaurant I've ever been to in Philly.... and I was born in a restaurant in Philly... Okay, it was a hospital cafeteria, but it counts. The food was terrible, the service was the same.", "Feels kinda like an old-guy Philly hangout. And that's not always bad. They rave about the roast beef, but roast pork with spinach and sharp provolone is great here. Grab a booth in the back, or get it to go and eat at Penn's Landing or in a nearby park when the weather is nice. But be sure to get plenty of napkins. This ain't dainty food! Tender, juicy pork, lots of sauteed spinach with garlic, and really sharp provolone on a nice roll. Yum. It's also pretty inexpensive, especially when you consider the gargantuan portions. One sandwich feeds two!", "I think I had roast beef here once, and it was pretty decent. It was quite some time ago. As I was I was eating my sandwich I felt like I should of been older for some reason. Maybe to blend in with crowd I suppose. There used to be a really cool venue upstairs where they had shows. Mojo Nixon played here once, but I wasn't old enough. Dag Nabbit! But I did sneak in to see RL Burnside play here before he passed away.", "if youre coming here for a yum friday dinner & beer in the back booths like we did, you will be happy. this was our 2nd time here & we got the same booth as last time, 2 ppl in a booth is perfect as they are smaller sized booths. trivial pursuit cards tucked into the menu holder may entice you to quiz your seat mate but you may or may not get sticky hands. part of the charm. anyway. i dont eat meat & i couldnt decide what to get, which is always a GOOD sign. so i went with eggplant parm on a long roll, a trusty favorite you dont see everyday. oh my goodness, yum. like others have said, 1 sandwich could feed 2. it arrived hot, open faced & provolone covered just how i like it. the eggplant was so crispy fried & the sauce was heavenly. i bet you dont hear that about eggplant parm much these days. my fiance was jealous even tho he got his fave, some kind of sandwich with bacon. we both ordered our own fries off the \"fry gallery menu\" (big mistake bc these fries are gigantic). i prefer the straight up plain ones, he got cajun powder, cheese & peppers on his. anyway they have beers too & you will leave super full. ps the sandwiches are like $5. we spent more on three draft sam adams than on both our entrees. of course the fry gallery experience upped the price a bit. rounding out to a nice under $40 dinner of belt busting delish & tipsy/food drunk happiness. i have to give 4/5 bc i dont know that i'd traverse the city for this place, but it is a super awesome Neighborhood-feel place w great food. so if you dont live in the same block like i do, i would recommend it as a great after happy hr dinner location.", "The food was just OK but we got really crappy service and I would probably not go back again if I had any choice in the matter. Plus I feel like the price was just out of range for what you were getting--even in Olde City", "A million and one years ago, when I was but a youngin and my dad worked in Center City, he would often tell me how he liked going to Nick's for lunch...they had great food at a good price, and it was \"far away\" from the usual spots he went to. Well, back then there was no reason whatsoever to be on this block, and while many things have changed over the decades (mostly for the worse), Nick's is still there. \n\nLike a lot of the old guard-type joints in Philly (and in any big city, really), Nick's is a place that gets by on reputation more than current execution. Lets be honest...if Nick's opened last year, it would be gone already. But since its...\"Nicks\" (wave your hands in the air when you say it), it remains. The food ain't bad, certainly nothing special, and the prices are higher than they have any right to be. Service is \"there\"...again, nothing special. You could probably give half the people who come in on any given day a plate fulla Arby's and I don't think anyone would notice. But, the highlight from the days of my dad remains...the horseradish. Why that was his favorite thing is anyone's guess, and why it is my favorite thing is really best left un-discussed. \n\nI found myself stopping by every once in a while when seeing a show at the Khyber...mostly if I got there way too early or the first three bands really sucked. Or, more likely, the pizza joint on 2nd was closed. I can't fathom going out of my way to eat here in this modern age, but I guess its still highly rated in some yellowed guide book somewhere so people keep showing up. It is totally out of place on the block nowadays, but since the vast majority of that neighborhood makes me want to vomit in anger I consider that a plus. Still, I want to like it more than I do, for nostalgia if nothing else...but its resoundingly average. I'll give it an extra star for the horseradish...yea, I'm that easy.", "Their roast beef sandwich was good. There really isn't much to write about this place. I've eaten in once and it doesn't seem to be the most inviting atmosphere. I would walk in, see the bar, feel like I didn't belong and stand awkwardly until someone seated us. This place is almost like a step above a diner, not food-wise, but the restaurant itself :)" ]

[ "Best authentic Mexican food I have found in Edmonton since I moved here from Michigan where every restaurant is Mexican. If you want the food really spicy just ask for the creamy green sauce. Everything I have tried at both of their restaurants has been so tasty. Support local and give them a try. There is a mariachi player on certain nights. They do take out and the staff is so friendly.", "It tasted how I remember Mexico tasting. I especially enjoyed the house made Salsa. Only mild complaint was service was a little slow, but we weren't in a rush.", "Be prepared to be here for a while. Food was very good and filling, but service was very slow. Perhaps they were under staffed due to the groupon they had online. The place was full! Will return", "Good place to have authentic mexican food in Edmonton, thank goodness for this place, we've been looking for this kinda place since we moved from Florida!!\nThe service is pretty slow but it worth waiting", "Came here for the first time post Yelp's Fit Club for an authentic Cinco de Mayo treat! Unfortunately that's where the fun ended.\n\nHandmade fresh to order - noted on their menu from the salsas to the tortillas. Be sure to have lots of time and don't be in a rush. I phoned ahead of time and reserved a table for 5. We were surprised to arrive and find the restaurant 3/4 empty. We were seated and advised of a $5 per person cover charge for the Mariachi band. \n\nStarted off with the MUCHO double corona bull dog. I'm not much of a beer drinker but hubby liked it. And he better at $17.99!\n\nWe ordered Papuans to start - $3.50 each and came with about a tbsp of fermented cabbage and a tbsp of red sauce. Now, I LOVE my Papuans so do yourself a favour and go to an El Salvadorian restaurant like Acajutlas for Papuans that will come with 3 sauces and a giant jar of fermented cabbage (aka heaven)... I digress... \n\nThe Papusa itself lacked flavour and the piping hot temperature I am accustomed to at other restaurants. \n\nWe ate with our fingers waiting to get the attention of someone to bring us napkins and silverware.\n\nNext up was a complimentary basket of about 20 tortilla chips for 5 of us and maybe 3 tbsp of salsa. Really? Really! A table of 5 with $25 in cover charge and we get 20 chips...\n\nEntrees arrived about 20 minutes later. I had requested water twice by now with still no success.\n\nMy friend's taco salad was missing her chicken altogether and her drink had 2 hairs in it! When pointed out, she was told the hair wasn't her server's and given 75% off the beverage which had been mostly drank when she discovered the hairs. No adjustment was made to the taco salad - chicken was brought 10 minutes later and lacking flavour.\n\nI had specifically requested extra spice for the following two meals which arrived with little to no spice:\n\nFiesta Sampler Platter with empanada, taco dorado, tostada, and tamale. \n\nAlambre - seasoned steak and tocina mixed in with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes topped with melted mozerella and 3 handmade tortillas.\n\nNeither of our meals were hot which leaves me to wonder if the food just sits waiting without a hot pass while the rest of the table's food is prepared.\n\n$75 later (for two) and a disappointed tummy :-(\n\nSadly, Three Amigos was no friend of ours tonight. It's pretty heartbreaking since we thoroughly enjoyed their south side location previously but alas, the Jasper location did not make the cut.\n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\nUPDATE 2 DAYS LATER - 3 of the people from our group have been sick for the past two days after eating here. It may be a fluke but we will NOT be back.", "What a horrendous experience I have on monday night!!! My salad arrived without any chicken and some awful tasting house raspberry vinagrette. I asked for a side of ranch and waited endlessly for both the salad dressing and chicken. \n\nMy husband noted that the chicken was just ripped pieces off of chicken drumstick that tasted awful. It was so bland and microwaved that the chicken was dry and flavorless.\n\nThen to make it even worse, we ordered the double bulldog with 2 coronas to share. As we were drinking on it (3/4s finished), 2 eye lashes appeared from the bottom of the glass. The server had the courage to tell me it wasn't their hair but if it is at the bottom of our glass how can it be ours. So for a period of over an hour, we were sipping on someone else's flavored hair particles!!! GROSS!!! \n\nI will not be attending this or the south side restaurant ever again, even if they claim they have a great groupon offer to come back and try again. \n\nWould not recommend it to any of my friend!", "I was really looking forward to trying this place out. I went there today with my wife and was extremely underwhelmed. We had to pay for chips and salsa. The chips could have been good if they had seasoning on them. The guacamole dip was horrendous and bland. Very small basket of chips for what you pay for it.\n\nI had the steak tacos. They were nothing special at all. Very bland. The steak wasn't as tender as I have come to expect from other establishments.\n\nMy wife got the fish tacos. They were disgusting. The ingredients were definitely not fresh. You should not have to cut out black parts from your avocado and pick out wilted and rotting cilantro from the taco. Unbelievable. To top it off my wife became very sick after we left. \n\nNeedless to say we will never be back! If you are looking for good tasting Mexican food...do yourself a favour and go a block east and visit Tres Carnales.", "So I came here about a month and a half ago with a groupon and it was a good experience, food was good, slow but good. I have to say, everything has changed since I was last in here. Way better service, they now have 2 TV's, they have an actual drink menu, portion sizes are bigger, food is still tasty as always, and they even have a live musician playing Mexican music. I love it. I will now for sure return and even pay full price!!! Everyone needs to try this place", "I always thought this place was a fast food joint but it's definitely a sit-down Mexican restaurant (they even say it on their menu for people like me)! It's a small spot but colorful and cozy. If you're wanting to beat the lunch rush it's best to get there before 12pm.\n\nI had the empanadas with chicken. They were crispy and came with salsa, sour cream and guacamole on the side. Each entree includes a side of beans and rice too, so you really get your fill here! I barely even touched my beans and rice because I was so full. I tried my friend's fish tacos and they were delicious, I think even better than my empanadas because they just seemed to have more flavour. Might have to get the fish tacos next time. They have a good assortment of Mexican beers too.\n\nThe service was good at first but seemed to get a little disorganized once the lunch rush hit, which is to be expected I guess. We had to wait a bit longer for an order to go, which we had alerted them about earlier but they might have forgotten about it. Other than that minor detail, this place is good.\n\nRemember, don't expect this to be a fast food place cause it's not!", "The food was quite tasty, the lunch time rush service was slow. We arrived at 11:45 am to try to beat the lunch time rush, and it still took an hour to get in and out after being seated immediately. In my mind, it is critical that downtown restaurants be able to accommodate quick lunches over the noon hour. \n\nThe service was definitely lacking. We were served our appetizer (which was delicious guacamole and chips) before our cutlery, serviettes and drinks arrived. We had to request our drinks and cutlery some time after our appetizer dishes were cleared. It then took a lot longer for the food to arrive, and when we were done we had to seek out the server to get our bill. \n\nAs for the food, I had the carnitas with rice and black beans, and they were very tasty and fresh. They weren't dry at all, which is always a good sign. My husband had the chicken tacos, which he said were dry and not very flavourful.\n\nFor a lunch, The Three Amigos was tasty enough, but their servers were clearly overwhelmed by the number of people seated in the restaurant. I also think the kitchen was having a hard time keeping up." ]

[ "Great food, service needs a little improvement for groups.\n\nWe had reservations for a party of ten so we were in the back room. Everything was actually quite nice, impressive, and well laid out. Here are a few problems we encountered which is why I am giving them a three star rating:\n\n1. For a group of ten people, I wish we were given a more experienced server who will be able to handle the party.\n\na. Four bowls of pho were ordered (let's call our friends E, B, K, & J), only two arrived - for E & B. K & J both followed up on their orders after realizing that E & B and pretty much everyone had their respective orders. Took a long while for K's soup to arrive. J's order never came - and he was the birthday celebrant. Since the portions were big on some food items, he and his girlfriend split her order.\n\nb. K, from the previous point actually had sushi ordered with his soup. It also never came despite being followed up on and confirmed previously before and after his bowl of pho arrived.\n\nc. My bf and I also had a few problems with our order: We had to follow up on the beef teriyaki we ordered which was fine, and I understand it usually takes longer. However, after following up with a server helping ours (as we had already finished the rest of our food), I confirmed my suspicions that the order hadn't gone through when I saw the second server bring the teriyaki and our server sent her away saying it wasn't for our table. Hmm, so we again waited until she eventually came back. Also, we ordered a large tuna tataki, and received a small tuna tataki instead - we did not realize it until we got our bill. \n\nNeedless to say, our server was overwhelmed. She was so nice, and I liked her. She would have been great if it was a smaller group.\n\n2. Although it looked nice, I think they should rethink their curtains in the rooms. The servers had their hands full with our food so they had to go blindly into the room with the curtain covering their eyes/face because it was in the way. In addition, there is a chance (since they can't see) that the curtain can get into the food before being served on the table. Ew.\n\n3. Stalls in the women's washrooms are incredibly tiny. Loved the mouthwash idea though, I thought that was awesome!\n\n4. The only problem I had with the food was how thinly the beef tataki was sliced. I have eaten at a lot of Japanese places, and I never had difficulty eating beef tataki as much as I had here. It was so thin that it breaks off and sticks to the plate. Even the bf who rarely complains about his food thought it was very disappointing. Which was sad, because it was one of our favourite dishes and we did not get to enjoy it.\n\nDespite all this, I actually really liked what they did with the place. Everyone was very warm and friendly also. Just a few tweaks :) We will definitely come back, just with a smaller party.", "Professional atmosphere, menu includes Japanese and Vietnamese Pho which is a nice combination. Taste of food is also good, but I'm rating it a 2 for the following reasons:\n- background music was a bit loud, top 40 hits is not conducive to an asian restaurant\n- disposable wooden chopsticks are the cheapest type you can get, doesn't fit the experience of this restaurant especially when these have a high probability of splinters. \n- tea was brought to the table without asking, thought it was complementary only to discover I was charged for it.\n- we had a party of three, one ordered sushi combo which includes miso soup but they forgot to bring the soup. meal was almost done before they brought out the dishes for the others.\n- I ordered Ramen, bowl was brought out with no soup spoon, when I asked server for spoon she looked at me as if I was from another planet! She proceeded to bring me a 'table spoon' - really!\n- another server brought me a correct soup spoon but to my surprise there was a drop of colored liquid in the spoon!\n- at the end of the meal hostess came by and apologized for not having calamari - huh - we never asked for calamari!!!\n- finally price is quite high for the Japanese part of menu as compared to other higher end competition, i.e. Mikado.", "I saw Volcano several times as I passed by on my way to work and decided to give this place a chance after craving Japanese. We were greeted right away and seated by a hostess dressed in \"traditional\" Japanese attire. At first glance the restaurant looks well thought out in both placement and styling; though lacking in atmosphere (the lights were not even dimmed even a smidge).\n\nUpon being seated we were immediately offered water and menus. Right away things started to appear \"fishy\" and cheap as the menu was printed poorly with very low resolution which made reading any description unpleasant. Even the chopsticks presented were your typical cheap \"fast food\" chopsticks. \n\nI immediately ordered the beef tataki, something I do with any new Japanese restaurant I am trying, as how the beef tataki tastes and is prepared says quite a bit about the quality, freshness and taste I am about to embark upon. The meat did NOT look fresh nor did it taste fresh, it was oily and left an odd after taste which was not even close to being as good as the worst tataki I had ever tried. \n\nAlas hunger struck and we ordered the maki combo B to try, even after being turned off from the beef tataki, we decided we were too hungry to go elsewhere. Now normally ordering a combo is fine, but the menu seemed to be a bombshell of everything they offered and their combos lacked variety and hidden amongst the regular items instead of being right out there in the open, this made deciding what to order longer than normal since their combos only consisted of \"safe\" food and adding nothing \"adventurous\" that one may try to expand their tastes into what else was offered. I had hoped there would at least be a sushi/maki or sushi/maki/sashimi combo so I may get to try each type offered but the menu was priced in such a way that if you picked and chose your own \"combo\" it would end up costing twice the price (at which point ordering the $100 for two is more \"worth\" it).\n\nWhile waiting for our food I used the opportunity to use the restroom, which upon entering immediately looked pleasant with nice fixtures inside, especially with the mouthwash and cups, they're really considering those who are on a date... or want to get the fishy taste of their unfresh food out of your mouth. Upon further inspection however I immediately lost my appetite as I realized the washroom appeared as if it had never been cleaned at all; snot, dirt, whatever that is, all over the place. For a place that had \"just opened\" this was quite unexpected and disappointing.\n\nThe combo came with miso soup which immediately did not look \"right\", instead of looking into a hot bowl with rolling clouds it looked like watered down chicken noodle soup but with nori for noodles and tofu for chicken. It tasted exactly how it looked. Tasteless and terrible.\n\nOnce the maki arrived we immediately noticed the fish was not fresh, nor was the rice and nori. The roll first off was brittle and would break apart upon grabbing. The entire piece was cold, as if they had rolled it earlier in the day and put it in the fridge. Tokyo express makes maki fresher than this, if I had wanted refrigerated maki I would have gone to the grocery store or hell even the macs store.\n\nVolcano, while having the right idea and good service, appears to seriously lack an identity. Appearing, and attempting, to be an upscale restaurant with the good looks and high prices, fails immediately upon further inspection with obvious \"cost-saving\" measures and lack of cleanliness (in the washrooms, eating area was fine), taste, atmosphere and uniqueness. I personally will never eat here again and feel that for the same price can get better quality AND quantity at other Japanese restaurants, both well known and unknown in the Edmonton area. With the right improvements this place could become a go to date spot, but felt more like I was eating at a Vietnamese restaurant than an upscale restaurant with a nice atmosphere.\n\nRecommendations for improvement:\n-Don't cheap out. Customers can tell, having nice furniture, dishes and fixtures is great, but the cheap chopsticks that easily break and sliver on you or the hard to read, poorly laid out, menu just scream \"run\" for me.\n-While having Japanese and Vietnamese is a \"neat\" idea, it immediately jumps out to me as a lack of identity, the offerings felt like I was reading a completely different menu when I flipped to the back, I think coming up with even a small number of Japanese/Vietnamese fusion dishes to put in the middle to tie in the Japanese section to the Vietnamese would be quite helpful. Say Shrimp Tempura Springrolls sounds interesting, or even a shrimp tempura salad roll would be really interesting.\n-Atmosphere, your staff were quite attentive and did not intrude at all, however as a restaurant to take a date, I would not recommend it - the lighting in the front of the restaurant was full on bright while the back was dimmed slightly.\n-PREPARE FRESH.", "Volcano is in a great location for those living south of Whyte Avenue-easily accessible by Calgary Trail and Gateway Boulevard, the restaurant offers both Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine in a well-decorated, spacious building. The combination of Asian flavour offerings is unusual but not unheard-of in our city, where one can get Korean short ribs at many Japanese restaurants, or enjoy a Pad Thai served up alongside a Curry Laksa.\n\nI recently attended the grand opening, where I was greeted with a glass of prosecco and given a chance to grab a seat at one of the many tables. The food samplings were laid out in platters: sushi, sashimi, and maki on one side of the table, short ribs, spring rolls, and pork chops on the other. The divide was interesting but not unwelcome-it's nice to be able to pair cool raw fish with a cooked item or two.\n\nI took a little bit of everything, grabbed a sake caesar, and sat down with my plate of goodies. Everything was good, although the short ribs will always come up tops for me. The tuna sashimi was light and fluffy, as it should be, and the unagi maki was filled with flavour.\n\nI haven't had a chance to try the full menu yet, but I'd rate Volcano as a tasty, reliable Japanese/Vietnamese restaurant based on my experience at the grand opening.\n\nThe prices are in the mid- to high-range for a sushi restaurant, so I'd estimate prices to be around $40-50 per person for sushi (depending on how much you can eat) and around $15-20 per person for Vietnamese. They also offer a variety of Western and Chinese dishes, including brunch omelettes and chicken stir fry.", "I've never eaten at a vietnamese/japanese restaurant, and I don't think it's a good idea. I was happy to have another japanese restaurant to eat at, but the food was really bad. The sushi had fish that was already baked, which I thought would be raw, and the tempura was beyond bad. The vietnamese food was alright, but why try to be jack of all trades and end up with below mediocre results when you can just focus on one type of cuisine. Also, the decor seems like a lighting showroom gone wild. There are so many different types of chandeliers, it's a bit bewildering. However, it is well-lit.", "We were actually looking for a different Japanese restaurant when we found Volcano. I was unsure...There's been some nasty reviews for this place.\n\nWe had a near perfect experience, from the rich, flavorful tea to the clean and but quirky washrooms, which have a pretty laser radio thingy in the mirror and stalls the size of airplane bathrooms.\n\nWe split a bento box, had a couple salads and sashimi, and all were delicious. The sashimi was sooooo fresh. It was well chilled and like silk on my tongue, exactly how I like it.\n\nService was fantastic! Paige was friendly and efficient. Our tea and water stayed filled. It was just one of those dining experiences where everything went right. We'll be back.", "I was so excited to taste some great ramen and Volcano didn't disappoint. I ate #98 - shio ramen. With a pork base, the broth was the flavour I was in search for. Yum. The staff were very friendly. I got my food fast and the decor is nice in here.", "Great place! We came here by accident and are so glad we stopped in! Service was amazing and the Vietnamese noodle bowls are huge! Also had a couple sushi rolls and they were great as well! Will definitely come here again! Cute decor as well", "I always get wonderful service when I dine here. The menu is extensive and though the prices are higher than others, the portions are always leaving you more than satisfied. \n\nWould definitely recommend.", "Worse service to none existing.. all waitress like a dummy.. definitely will not go back and will not recommend to anyone at all." ]

[ "Oh, so THIS is what Mexican food is supposed to taste like.\n\nIncredibly warm and friendly service from both wait staff and management.\n\nI went in with a list of dishes that sounded good from the review on the Nashville Restaurants blog (http://nashvillerestaurants.blogspot.com/2010/08/fogatas.html). \n\nI couldn't actually locate most of those dishes on the extensive menu, but I did find the tlacoyos. Nashville Restaurants calls these \"thick tortillas stuffed with beans and served with grilled nopales cactus. The red, spicy beans contrast with the tangy green salsa. The nopales are served to the side. The grill brings out an excellent flavor.\"\n\nThat's sort of an accurate description, but it doesn't really bring out the heavenly combination of tastes and textures, the amazing mouthfeel and the wonderful freshness and lightness of all the ingredients.\n\nTruly a lovely, lovely dish of food. Despite the extensive menu, I'm tempted to order tlacoyos on my next visit. \n\nPrices are really reasonable. A complimentary basked of chips and salsa, agua fresca (with refill) and the tlacoyos made me comfortably full and cost only around $10.\n\nIncidentally, the Nashville Restaurants review kind of disses the salsa. I actually thought it was really fresh and tasty. Seemed homemade, and I liked the way they served it in a tiny carafe that you could pour into a salsa bowl, but I do admit that it might be a little thin. Just something to note if you tend to prefer chunky salsas.\n\nFYI, I drove down Nolensville Pike for a mile or so looking for this place on the side of the road. It's actually located in the shopping plaza on the corner of Nolensville and Old Hickory Boulevard, right next to the Lowe's lumber yard.", "What a joint. This is easily the best mexican food I have eaten in Nashville. We did'nt know this place existed until I walked past it on a hot sunday afternoon. What I saw tempted me to give it a shot- 95% of the eaters were latinos(maybe all mexicans--not sure). So its simple now, if almost all the customers are latinos, the food has to be authentic or true to authentic. \n\nIt was crowded, the staff were friendly and cute :-), fast service, live latino music which we did'nt understand but it was fun. The salsa sauce given with the tortillas is tangy which you just cant find in other mexican restaurants in Nashville. Two of us finished three cups of it with the chips.\n\nThe menu is is almost entirely in spanish so it was a bit hard to decide what to eat. Ordered a plate of burritto + grilled chicken entree. Both came with rice, beans and gravy. What can I say, it was all too good. I came out of this place happy and smiling.\n\nNext time I wanna eat mexican, Iam going here.", "We came here on a Saturday for lunch. We were surprised they made fresh juices, true Mexican style, which were very tasty and refreshing. The vegetables that came with my meal were a little undercooked, almost \"al dente\" style. Our waitress did not know what they had on hand and 4+ times had Togo ask the kitchen if they could make any of the standard menu items and each time the answer was no. The ribeye was cold and not cooked to order and I got food poisoning. I would rate this with zero stars but it would not metics that option. We'll not ever come back here. Also, for the previous entries reported here that gave5 stars, you have ever tasted real Mexican food because Taco Bell is better than this place is. If you want decent Mexican food, try El Sombrero just a couple of miles South on Nolensville Road.", "Fogatas is getting better and I like it more everytime now. The tacos esp the mexican sausage tacos. The quesadillas are really nice. I am gonna try lot more things here which I have never eaten. Fogatas is by far the bext mexican I have eaten in Nashville.", "Authentic Mexican food and it is very good. I love the homemade tortilla chorizo tacos. The queso dip is also very good. If you want real Mexican food, give it a shot.", "I think I've found my new Mexican restaurant. \n\nEver since El Mirador closed I have been without a good Mexican Restaurant (y'know, with waiters and stuff, I have plenty of go-to trucks and taquerias). \n\nThis place was awesome. I really appreciated how almost everyone greeted us in both languages. This gives the customers the opportunity to choose which language they are most comfortable using, which I appreciate. Service continued to be top notch throughout the night, our waitress was on top of everything and very friendly. \n\nWe both ordered agua de jamaica, free refills on aguas is a plus. \n\nMy husband ordered the Torta Cubana and I ordered the Tlacoyos, both were excellent and unique, and neither came with the obligatory runny beans and yellowy rice with occasional peas that always goes uneaten on my plate. \n\nHowever, we will be back to try the pambazo, the quesadilla de flor de calabaza, and maybe even the quesadilla de huitlacoche if we're real brave. \n\nWe didn't order dessert, but noticed flan, tres leches, platanos, and ---- coctel de frutas!! Which I am also excited about returning to try. \n\nThey did have a delicious looking breakfast menu which included champurrado, a favorite of mine in cold months and also hard to come by. \n\nIt appeared that they might have some live music at some point as well, although while we were there it was a little early for that sort of thing, instead there was a big first communion party going on for about 10 or so little girls. \n\nMy only complaint is that the chips were not homemade, and yes the salsa was a little bland, but this is to be expected from a place serving authentic Mexican food, since chips and salsa aren't authentic Mexican.", "First off, if you are looking for this place it is in the \"South Plaza\" Shopping Center with the Lowes and Office Max.

It was clear that we were the only \"Gringos\" in the place. We were seated pretty quickly though, and treated to some VERY LOUD live music. The better half might have argued that it was a bit TOO loud, since when he was singing, conversation between us was nearly useless.\n\nOn the plus side, they have \"Mexican\" Coke, on the minus side, no free refills on Soft Drinks because they all come in the bottle. Fortunately they give you the 24 oz bottle instead of the 16 oz, so unless you are really thirsty, this will suffice.\n\nThe waitress took our order pretty quickly, and then the waiting began. It was at least 45 minutes between ordering and our food arriving. Either it was worth the wait or the wait made me so hungry it was better than it was. It did appear to be very authentic.\n\nWhen we went to leave we did discover that, while they do take credit cards, they charge you a fee. I'll not debate the legality of this (It is not allowed), but this serves as a warning.\n\nOverall, despite a few hitches, I would certainly return.", "The food here is actually really great and their prices are surprisingly low. Nice atmosphere and generally great service.", "The food here is very close to food in Mexico, I'm from Mexico and this places is my favorite Mexican restaurant :)", "The service and the staff are really great. I ordered the Chimichanga plate and I was sort of dissatisfied. It tasted like it was previously frozen and the beef had a strange flavor AND smell. I don't know if its true authentic Mexican ground beef and I'm just used to American flavor or what. The rice that came on the side was fluffy and the beans had a great flavor. I will give this place a try again but go with more fresh choices like fajitas or shrimp. Chicken can't be bad either. Mexican ground beef is just a no for me." ]

I am not a huge sushi fan; I only like cooked sushi. Sushi Time only has two cooked rolls on their menu, both which are great! They will make special rolls for you if you ask them nicely. We sit at the bar every time and the service has always been good. They usually have coupons in the local mailers, so check before you go.

I really like spicy food so the chef made me a couple on the fly creations that were all pretty tasty. They use habanero peppers instead of jalapeno and it was a nice change. Their menu is pretty standard assortment of cooked and raw rolls and nigiri. I thought their nigiri was sloppy and not that impressive. \n\nThe reason I'm rating it so low is the entire restaurant REEKS of fish. Bad sign when it comes to any Sushi joint in my opinion.", "I was looking through a coupon mailer, and I found a coupon. I hadn't been to Sushi Time in about two years, so I thought I'd give it a go. I went for lunch and it was really only ok. The krab was off, that's for sure. It had a very weird texture, and that wasn't on account of it being krab, it just seemed like they were trying to offload it when they gave me a special I didn't even order that had a pile of crab in the middle. My friend liked it, but I wasn't down. Also, even with the dollar off coupon and drinks and a small tip, lunch was around $20.

The place was packed, considering they just opened Saturday night. We ordered the beef fajitas for two. The meal was OK, next time I would order something else.

We ordered a couple of beers and a cheese crisp, and chile rellenos. \nThey brought out chips and salsa and that's when things started going south. There chips were stale and tough.

Yum. \nShortly after that our food arrived... cheese crisps -much smaller than average restaurant cheese crisp, but even worse, the tortilla was tough like beef jerky! Are you kidding me...? Can't even get cheese crisp right!!?? But then, it gets worse, the chile rellenos were cold!! Yuck!! \nThat's all it took for me.. a big disappointment. \nMaybe other menu items are better, but not sure if I'll be back to find out!", "We've been really excited about this place. We really needed a new place to eat in this part of town. However, we were a bit disappointed. \n\nPros: Great service! When my shrimp tasted funny (inedible) they discounted the meal. Our waitress was charming and had knowledge of the menu. Our drinks were great and the chips and salsa were delicious. Everything was served in a timely manner.\n\nCons: As mentioned, the shrimp tasted funny. The rice and beans were just blah. My husband really disliked his chicken mole enchiladas.

You can even order things other than sushi (seaweed salads, shumai, etc) for no additional charge.

I wish it was belly lox instead of nova but you can't win them all and it is still very good and enjoyable as is the whitefish.\n\nMy wife and I enjoy \"Schlomo and Vito's\" very much and go as often as our \"waist lines\" allow.\n\nThe service was excellent and very pleasant. \n\nGet there early as this is a very busy place.", "I agree with Alan this is the best I have had west of NY. Bob, they must have read your review because the deli case had lox and an assortment of fish along with tongue.\nI too ordered the signature Schlomo with corned beef and pastrami on rye. My wife the chicken salad my brother the Vito Italian special. We all loved our meals. We of course had to order some potato latkes with apple sauce and sour cream, awesome and a knish that was on the money. I ordered Wise potato chips instead of fries ( man do I miss Wise). What's a NY deli experience without Egg creams?We ordered them and they were very good.\nIt was a bit expensive but you are paying for 10 oz of meat. The sausage on the Vito was tasty and hot.\nWe (6 of us) all shared the Tiramisu and it was great.\nThe place is beautiful and the outdoor seating is a must. Service was great. I live on the east side and my wallet and waist line thank me that I do.\nWe shall return to try the soups and also go there for breakfast.", "I read the great reviews but was very disappointed. the food was awful expensive and over cooked. Why do all these New Yorkers have to come out here and then spend all their time telling everyone how great New York is(was)?? We had three different dishes there all pretty poor. Sorry Deano..just another rich guy who thought he would start a restaurant. .", "This place is awesome. We went back today to celebrate my birthday (again) with our half priced gift certificates we bought from 97.5 Bob FM's Almost free Fridays.\n\nThe corned beef is out of this world. The matzo ball soup was spot on the latkes amazing. They had H&H bagels today and even flown in they still were great. A displaced NYer's dream come true. My brother had the lasagna which was packed with meas and had really soft homemade pasta.\n\nWe have been here two times with an assortment of foods and everything has been great. The service is warm friendly and attentive.\nWe have a couple gift certificates left for their Sunday brunch.", "Yeeeeahhhh it was okay.\n\nKinda reminded me of a little more upscale version of a Jason's deli. \n\nThe portions were HUGE and the prices were just a tad on the pricy side, (Expect to spend around 15 to 20 a person for lunch).\n\nI'd be open to going back, but my first time was just a \"so-so\" experience.", "I've been wanting a place like this for 10 years in Tucson. Jason's doesn't compare. This is the best Ruben sandwich I've had in Tucson. Nice clean and friendly atmosphere. I would go back in a heart beat.

I had the pastrami, which was perfect, but my wife had the corned beef, and that was at least as good. Great deli-style fries, fabulous challah french toast for the kids, and really good chopped liver. Portions are enormous, service is friendly. The place looks a bit antiseptic, which may be the wrong vibe, but it's clean and well lit. For ex-New York Jew wandering in Tucson, it was like Mecca, to mix a metaphor.\n\nDid I mention the egg cream?", "We came here for lunch after the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun. Points for attentive service, not just from our waitress, but from the other waitress making sure we had been attended to. Points for being able to order just half a sandwich. Points for extra pickles, even though they were slices, not spears. Points for decor: the very cool retro black and white tile that looked woven, both in the entry and in the bar and in the bar on the way to the bathrooms. The bathrooms had whorehouse red, though unflocked, wallpaper and tiles that looked as if there had been paint applied and then wiped off, less successful a look than the wallpaper. But the stalls had dark wood louvered doors and looked pretty good. They functioned as they were supposed to.\n\nAlan had half a hot corned beef sandwich on rye. I had half a tongue sandwich, heated, on rye. Since Chompie's in Phoenix has moved. we weren't going to be stopping there, so this was my deli tongue fix. Not as chi-chi as Saul's, no capers or anything, but it was good and authentic. We both chose the cucumber salad, which was simple and good and he had a side of potato salad too. Both sandwiches came w/ fries, which we left pretty much untouched. We ordered iced tea which was refilled as needed. As we were leaving we saw humongous servings of chocolate layer cake and cheesecake in the case. I can't imagine anyone eating them, they were so big.

Well the day arrived and we were across the street at La Encantada and decided to try it. Nice looking place for a deli, clean and the staff were very welcoming. Monster menu chocked full of deli style sandwiches with humongous portions of meat. The server brought over some pickle slices and asked for our drinks. As I pondered the menu I munched on the pickle and it was great and I proceeded to eat them all. So when the server returned I told her and she nodded like she heard it all the time. Since the full sandwiches are so big and come with two sides, we decided to get a bowl of matzo ball soup and another order of pickles. The soup came out first and they kindly brought and extra bowl. This was a huge bowl of chicken broth, chicken pieces, onion, carrot and 2 big matzo balls. Nothing out of the ordinary, but the broth was flavorful. The monster pastrami sandwich arrived. It was smart that we shared, cuz I don't know how one person could eat this. The marbled bread was grilled, a little greasy for our tastes, and overflowing with pastrami, which was lean, warm and tough. The sauerkraut was minimal and the dressing lacked flavor. The coleslaw was acceptable, mine is better and the fries were good and hot. We aren't big meat eaters, but if you are this is the place for a meat sandwich. The service was great, very pleasant and friendly and these folks aim to please. Maybe next time some salmon, herring or the chopped chicken liver will please are taste buds.", "I am soryy it was not good! too much money for nothing.

The fish taco was pretty good, and the pork had a good flavor, although the meat had some chewy bits. Their corn tortillas aren't very substantial, being thin and prone to tearing. The al pastor plate came with a bean soup of some sort that resembled baked beans rinsed of any flavor and served in beef broth. I'd give them another try, but in general I prefer a couple other Mexican places in the area.", "One of the better molcajetes in town. And the tacos al pastor are pretty good.

I have to say that their menu is HUGE compared to other similar places and have options for everyone. The food tasted very fresh and came out promptly. \n\nTheir strawberry frozen marg was one of the best I have ever had...so fresh and just the right amount of tequila!

I would have had another if I'd known they were just $2.\n\nChips and salsa were GOOD. The chips were warm, fresh, light and crispy. The salsa had no sweetness to it, a little kick -- different-tasting. It was smooth, not chunky. Quite tasty.\n\nMy dining partner and I both got a combination plate. We got a little mixed up reading the menu, and we both thought our combinations came WITH rice and beans. They didn't, But when we asked about it, they brought a big plate of rice and beans, then charged $3.50 for it. We thought the rice and beans came WITH the dishes. We really didn't want rice and beans to pay EXTRA for them. But that's how it worked. We didn't know until we got the bill. It's OK. We really did misread the menu. But it was a bit comical we both misread it the same way. What's with these foolish old ladies?? No, it wasn't from the margaritas! Way too early for that!\n\nShe got the tamale/burrito/enchilada combination (#14) AND got to choose her protein (beef or chicken) for both the burrito and the enchilada. She picked one for each, but I don't remember which went with which.\n\nI got the chili relleno/chalupa/burrito (#30) and chose chicken for the burrito protein. I've never had a chili relleno, so I asked the server what that was, and she explained it well, so I got the picture.\n\nThe food was out in something close to a New York minute. Absolutely amazing! The plates were so hot, she had to use little baby potholders.\n\nAll my dishes were extremely tasty, especially the chili relleno, which had a nice sauce, and it was new for me -- such excitement, be still my heart! The chalupa had lots of lettuce and a big hunk of fresh tomato. The burrito had a nice sauce -- could have been the same nice sauce the chili relleno had.\n\nMy dining partner thoroughly enjoyed all her dishes.\n\nAnd the beans and rice were just fine . . . not particularly different from others, but somehow tasted fresher.\n\nI think my to-go box weighed five or six pounds. There's at least two more meals there!\n\nFor all that, including tip, we both tossed in $16.50. Not shabby!!", "One of my absolute favorite places to eat in St. Louis! This is a fairly typical family owned, hole-in-the-wall, Mexican restaurant, but with DELICIOUS food! I would recommend anything on the menu here! Trust me, if you love Mexican food, you wont be disappointed. \n\n You can't go wrong with the prices either. On the lunch special, you can eat a HUGE meal here for under $6 and that's including a soda. Dinner is a little more expensive, but not by much. \n\nHappy hour drink specials are great here too, last time I was there I had a 32 oz draft beer for about $5. Pretty great!\n\nThe service at Charro is excellent; always very attentive and speedy. \n\nCheck this place out! Seriously.", "My friends and I tried Charro's on a midweek guys night out.

The taco chips were fine but no better then others we have tried.\n Just beware, if you partake of their happy hour drinks you cannot use any coupon. They will not honor their coupons if you order a special happy hour drink. \n We had a $60 tab with tip, $37 in food but they would not honor a $5 or $10 coupon that we had. The Manager just argued with us and said he told all his servers not to take any coupons if the customer ordered a Happy Hour Drink!", "Ms T and I have to keep using all of those Groupons and we finally made it to Charro. It was chilly and rainy but inside was warm and inviting. The place has a good feel.\n\nThey started us off with the usual chips and salsa. The chips were normal, thin style, served warm. The salsa is pureed tomato with cilantro and oregano. Ms T thought it was a little sweet, but I thought the sweet and acid balance was good. I would increase the cilantro and back off the oregano, but that's just me. Overall I liked it. It was borderline salty but was not loaded with onion, always a plus.\n\nMs T ordered the Enchaladas Supremas plate and I ordered Chile Verde with pork. Her platter had one chicken, one bean, one cheese and one beef enchilada. It was excessively smothered in red sauce. The sauce was different in that it clearly had tomato pureed into it making it tangy. I prefer a good pure chile sauce, but this was OK. It was also on the edge of being too salty. The shredded chicken slightly stale, the ground beef was pretty bland, but the cheese was simply bad. It was that commercially available goo with the processed cheese texture, like white Velveeta. It is getting harder and harder to find places that serve good queso Chihuahua or queso Oaxaca. Ms T would not order this again.\n\nI liked my pork much better. For once I liked my food better than she. The menu gives you a choice of pork or beef \"cooked with green tomatillo sauce\". The meat is not cooked in the sauce. It was large cubes grilled freshly and served in the sauce. The meat was tender and juicy with grill flavor and was quite good. The sauce was thickened tomatillo and was probably canned, but was OK. It had some heat, but no evidence of much chile. I found a number of indelibly tough, fibrous strands in it, either from husk or tomatillo stems. This led me to assume the sauce is canned. They also needed to trim the pork a little better, some of the pieces were just chunks of fat. All that being said, I still liked it and what I took home was great the next day. It's too bad the meat is not finished in the sauce longer. The sauce was also salty and would really benefit from the mellowing of the meat juices.\n\nThe menu is very large. I saw enough promise to go back, Ms T did not. This is not a taqueria or creative Mexican. I would not call it comida casera. It is a straight ahead Mexican restaurant, but seems to be better than average. It certainly exceeds my experiences at Ruiz or Hacienda. We will try again when we get a chance and I may bump the rating based on the experience.", "Had the molcajete. Neat presentation. Hotter the Sun. Not spicy hot, heat hot. Food was still boiling when we left. We also had enchilada suizas, and they were good. Except, with both the dishes I think they only use fat and gristly parts of the beef. The beef in the dishes was bad. \n\nWe would go back. We are still looking for the Mexican restaurant in the area to call great, and this wasn't it. Yet." ]

If you want crappy pizza that's better cold, go here. Otherwise, go to Cafe Alessio down near Warrington Hospital, it's the same price and something the owners love to do. Sopranos on the other hand is owned and run by someone that doesn't care for the quality of food being put out, but rather the profit margin.", "I have been eating at Soprano's Pizza since it opened and I have to say that the quality of the food is impeccable.

Soprano's has really good food, and would have given it a five star but have experienced polar inconsistencies. There is a server there who completely aloof, couldn't give a hoot, and always screws up your order, and the cook can't keep his eyes off the game on TV. On other nights, treated and served great. The \"bad\" staff doesn't know the difference between regular chicken Wings and the Wing Dings on the menu. I ended up with breaded Wing DIngs soaked in hot sauce.

About an hour into the wait my sister-in-law and I went to ask how long the wait was and the rude owner (with a rude, smug look on his face) said we'd have to wait. We weren't a huge group- four couples; and groups of the same size that had come after us had already been seated. Upon this response we asked why others the same size and larger than our group had been seated already to which he said we were imagining things. IMAGINING things. THANKS! Unfortunately I have no time for people who are rude and told him it was amazing he was still in business considering how rude he was to customers.

Yeah, that's what I thought too, but what the hell, it's a free meal.\nPub 1905 was the spot he had in mind and this Jasper Ave sports bar really surprised me. Hot dogs truly are their specialty; I was expecting some kind of bacterial street-meat type deal but the menu was rife with creative, tasty-sounding options with fun and silly names, all available as veggie dogs if you wanted 'em. I did, and wound up with a gigantic veggie dog topped with (if I remember correctly) barbecue sauce, onions, tomatoes, and melted cheese alongside a green salad. It fed me twice that day (it was so good I took half to go) and I was impressed enough to tell my dad, who plans to keep the hot-dog date tradition alive with his own girlfriend, a noted hot-dog connoisseur, one of these days.", "Pub 1905 just may be my new favourite pub in Edmonton. While the decor leaves a bit to be desired, I can think of very little to say about the place that isn't positive.\n\nThe staff is extremely friendly, the drink prices are lower than a lot of places in the city (it's perhaps the only place in town where a pint of Guinness won't cost you $7 or more), and the food menu is surprisingly diverse.\n\nThe specialty at Pub 1905 is the humble hot dog, which they've managed to turn into an art form. Despite having eaten a full meal before arriving at the pub, I couldn't resist ordering \"The Dog Who Shagged Me\" after reading the description: a hot dog dressed with back bacon, onions and a creamy cheese sauce. From the first bite to the last, it more than lived up to my expectations, and currently stands as the best hot dog I've ever eaten.", "Do not set foot in this place!

They do not accommodate large groups and do not allow for questioning when they become over-the-top angry for anything but complete submission. \nThe service is aggressive, the management is ignorant and obtuse not to mention the food is mediocre anyway. You can find cheap beer elsewhere. \n\nJust go to Shanks or Whyte.

For example, \"The Dog That Shagged Me\" says it comes with back bacon on the menu, but the last two times I've ordered it, it came with regular bacon.\n\nIt also seems like, at least every second visit, they are out of something that someone in my party wants to order.\n\nDespite the recent hiccups, I still think that Pub 1905 if one of the best pubs in Edmonton. They have a good menu and inexpensive beer. But they need to fix the problems in the kitchen in order to maintain the positive word-of-mouth that they've been gaining over the past few years.", "The food at pub 1905 is nothing special.

Just days prior I ate at Daily Eats for about the same price and I left wishing I ate there instead. I ordered the Bacado omelet, mostly because of the clever name, and coffee. The omelet was average but the grits were the most disappointing. They weren't creamy, instead tasted mealy. I couldn't take more than three bites. The coffee was really disappointing. They advertise it as if it's something really special but it was far from. It left me yearning for a cup of Maxwell House instant - yeah, it was that bad. My omelet cost about $8.50, which is very overpriced for this quality and the strained service. \nThere is only one condition might make me return. My girlfriend ordered a side of carrot cake pancake, it was out of this world amazing. I'm thinking of eating really healthy an entire week and ordering a tall stack one day (without coffee!).\nIf you're a pancake and OJ fan, this might be your place. If you're an eggs/grits and coffee person, like me, I highly suggest elsewhere.", "Good food without breaking the bank... Free WiFi too!!! \n\nYou will receive your own pitcher of water and coffee/tea pot. The food is fresh and very tasty. I had 1 humongous blueberry pancake (yes with real blueberries). I ate off my hubby's scrambled eggs with cheese and that was tasty too. I sampled my hubby's french toast and it was tasty as well. \n\nI will visit them again. \n\nPS: They close at 2:30 - they are truly a daytime dining experience.", "Nice little place for breakfast on any day.

Get it with the onions, fresh cilantro and lime-to die for. \n\nTheir homemade guacamole and sopes are worth ordering. \n\nInexpensive and I believe there is. $5 credit card minimum, do bring cash.", "This place is amazing -their food is delish, authentic, and full of flavor.

They are timely even during the busiest hours, they take a moment to recognize your face after a few orders, and they work to get you what you want.\n\nThey are clean, have a great little setting, and the food is very affordable.

The first time my credit card was charged 144.00 instead of 14.40 they corrected after having to get in touch with my bank. The second time it took nearly 40 minutes to get 3 tacos. When i asked after 30 minutes if my order was almost ready they said they would get to the order as soon as possible and I should have called it in before hand. I guess it was my own fault for not thinking through fully my taco purchase and just stopping in by chance.

What an amazing improvement! Great, friendly staff, tasty food, awesome back patio. Super excited to have a nice, easy spot to head to in the neighborhood.", "Wow what a facelift! We were anxiously waiting for the reopening of one of our favorite neighborhood bars and it did not disappoint. It looks amazing- and that patio! So awesome to have a place to come enjoy a cocktail while the kiddos can play and have a fun time too (ping pong table, cornhole, giant connect four!). The cocktails didn't just look beautiful but were tasty and definitely not watered down ;-). And the FOOD! Yum yum yum! Delicious smoked chicken, ribs and tri tip, and the best burger I've had in awhile. But what impressed me is the fabulous salads they have for those who want a healthier option. Nice job guys!", "I never made it to the Creekside prior to it being remodeled so I can't say what it was like before but on my latest visit I must say it's very nice! \n\nThe bar area looks to be upgraded with a casual rustic but modern feel. There's a pool table off to the side in a separate room with a flat screen TV and seating area. I especially loved the open outdoor patio with plenty of options of seating to choose from.\n\nThis place is kid friendly and there's a ping pong table, and game area just for the kids to keep them entertained. \n\nThe staff was overly attentive on my visit and friendly. They were quick to clean up anything on our table that we were done with. Great job guys! \n\nFor drinks I opted to try the Passionfruit Mojito ($10) and Rosemary Gimlet ($12). Both were refreshing and very well made! The Passionfruit Mojito was my favorite, very fruity and not too sweet. The Rosemary Gimlet made with organic cucumber vodka was also good. \n\nThe food menu offers appetizers, salads, and BBQ. Prices are a little steep but I guess that's to be expected when BBQ is on the menu. \n\nMy friends ordered the chimichurri fries ($6) to start and they were the best fries I've ever had!! Topped with queso fresco these were full of flavor and addicting. Highly recommend trying these! \n\nFor my main meal I ordered the burnt ends tri-tip sandwich ($14). This comes with French fries and a housemade pickle. The sandwich was served on a huge roll which I didn't eat because it was too much bread for me. I was kind of disappointed with this meal. The meat was decent but there was no WOW factor in this sandwich. The French fries that came with this meal were light, crispy and good though. \n\nThe buffalo wings were probably the best I've had in along time here in town! They were cooked perfectly and the meat was juicy. Wings can be overcooked and the result is dry meat but these were on point! \n\nThe smoked beet salad is made with golden beets, goat cheese, candied pistachios, and mixed greens, served with a lemon vinaigrette. My girlfriend let me try this and I really liked it! It was fresh, light, and had a nice combo of ingredients. My only suggestion would be to have the beets cut into bigger sizes as they kind of got lost in the salad and it seemed like there wasn't much of it.\n\nOverall I'm glad I could check out the newly remodeled Creekside and it looks to be a great place to hang out with friends and fam. I will definitely return to try more items on the menu and for sure order the chimichurri fries!! Those were amazing.", "Came on Wednesday at about 6pm. Self seating outside Good food for sure. Great place to let the kids loose to release energy. BBQ combo plate has perfectly sized and prepared portions and staff was super attentive and friendly. Yes Richard knows what he is doing behind the bar. Parking was a challenge but it has always been challenging at this location.", "We had a fun time last Saturday night at Creekside. Newly remodeled and modern. We made a last minute call to the manager asking for a table for 7, and he said to come on in and he would try to fit us in. When we got to the restaurant, the place was packed, but the manager was good to his word and had us at a table in under 5 minutes. The place is great for families, and had a terrific country rock band on Saturday night. With the band and the crowd it was pretty noisy, but for some reason it was so much fun to be there, I didn't really care about the noise, and that is unusual for me. The food was good as was the service. The wait staff was very attentive and customer oriented. If you want to feel the Santa Barbara vibe in a really good way, Creekside is a great place to do it.", "Came in on a busy Friday night but got drinks at the bar within a couple minutes- amazing lemonade and our favorite beer. The ambience on the large back patios is a fun and casual family-friendly vibe. Our kids could play ping pong or pool while we waited for a table. Santa Barbara is a small town - it was fun to run into people we know from Little League. \nFood came quickly when we ordered- fresh and tasty. Also not very expensive. Constant friendly attention by servers and owners- we were certainly well taken care of. We are looking forward to trying more of their barbecue in the near future! \nP.S.\nIt was turning more into a bar as we left 8:30-ish, as there was a bouncer at the door and people taking cigarette breaks in front.", "The Creekside is incredible. My two friends and I stumbled upon the restaurant and have since decided to make it our new place. The fries were the best I've ever had, and the service was wonderful. We will be coming back very soon.", "Came from WI and wanted a good burger and beer/cocktail. Yelp pointed us here. Was amazing! Burgers are the best. Craft cocktails great too!", "Service= A+\nAtmosphere=A+\nDrinks=A+\nFood=B\n\nTried out this new/newly reopened(?) spot on a recent trip to Santa Barbara and loved the patio and the attentiveness of the staff. Immediately we were provided an umbrella as we chose our table on the immense outdoor patio. We came in for lunch and there were kids playing at the ping pong table and pool table, people hanging at the well stocked bar and really just a great atmosphere for a Sunday funday. Started with the burrata and tomato jame app- which was delish! Second course- salad with chicken. Salad had way too much dressing and the chicken seemed like it was cooked a couple days ago and stored in the fridge. \n\nMaybe the barbecue is better? Anyway, seems like a fun place to hang and have some drinks." ]

If your a light eater, 2 eggs and home fries run about $3 with their special! My favorite is that they're not trying to prove anything, their toast isn't weird, they won't butter it for you, eggs are exactly how you want them, and the home fries aren't soggy. \n\nBut no matter what time of day. This place is always running some kind of special.\n\nHave the munchies? Come by when all the bar closes. HILARIOUS! Come be drunk and be merry with the rest of the drunks! What's also important, is that this place is not your typical greasy spoon, it's CLEAN. If a germaphobic me can eat there AND use their restroom so can you.", "Blech.\n\nMediocre diner food at best. My omelet was watery, the \"home fries\" that accompanied them were completely bland. The garlic bread was a hoagie roll smashed down & toasted on the grill with granulated garlic sprinkled on it. I added butter to make it taste edible. The only thing that was good was the marinara sauce that came with the mozzarella sticks we ordered that I am 100% sure came out of a can or jar. So the $6.95 for the 4 piddly motz sticks & sauce from a can was just a little over-priced. As was all the menu items for the quality. Maybe the food is better if you are hung over or stoned but if you are sober you could go many many other places in the far Northeast & get better food.\n\nTo top everything off our waitress was rude.

The entire platter was barely warm when it arrived, the eggs were hardly scrambled, and the home fries were bland and unevenly cooked - would have been more satisfied with a baked potato. \n\nThe service was bad too. I went in with a group of 6 and they tried to squeeze us into a table for 4. When we asked to add another table, they refused and insisted to add a smaller table that was half the size of a regular table. They messed up one of our orders and charged us for extra food that we did not receive. \n\nHighly unlikely that I'll be back - I think Denny's would serve me better.", "The breakfast here is good and plentiful. I ordered dinner (can't remember what I had exactly) here before and didn't like it so ever since that, I've just ordered breakfast. The place has recently been remodeled and it looks great inside. I think the outside still needs a bit of help but its the food that counts. They have their own little bakery where you could buy all types of pies and cakes. The Boston Creme pie is delicious! Sometimes when I'm driving by I order a whole pie to bring home to the family. :) The waitresses here are very nice and the place is usually pretty quiet.", "This is not the best breakfast place in the area, this is not the best place to dine, but it is consistent.\n\nWhen needing a snack or a late night meal this is one of the best places to go to.

I also viewed a customer waiting to be seated and when he told them that there was 2 in his party, the hostest informed him they could not seat him until the second person showed up. Viewing the restaurant they had plenty of tables and in my view customer service is very lacking in this restaurant. The customer was appaud about what he was informed and again she informed him not once but twice and walked away.

Our server was terrible in every respect: no refills, no check-in's, 20 minute wait for the bill. The worst part was that he completely messed up my order (including trying to convince me what I got was what I ordered... um, no) and the rest of my party had finished eating by the time I had the proper food. It really ruined the time I had that evening. He never apologized, never offered a drink, coupon - nada. The decor sucks and the overall feel of the restaurant makes me think of the inside of a single-wide trailer. Yuck. The only good part was the lime margarita I was able to drown my troubles in.

I'm not really a margarita drinker--too sweet for my well-honed tastebuds--but I will get the mango one. I asked Neill to make me something that tasted like whiskey and it kind of did. The music is pretty abysmal and the crowd annoying so this is in no way a Copa-rific review.", "OK, I guess it's me because I haven't been in this place for years, but I used to love it there. I love their flavored margaritas, and normally I'm a beer drinker, so that should say something. \n\nFood wise. . .yeah, I dunno. I'm a vegetarian so I'm limited in any place like that.

It's been what, eight years. . .maybe seven. That sorta makes me sad. But if I ever feel the need to get a little shitty on tequila all fruited up with salty tassels, I'm still heading over there.

Besides that, I don't get it.\n\nIt is a small, dirty place in my opinion. They do have some great fries and nachos, but if you want real Mexican there are tons of better places.

I have mixed reviews, but over all, I enjoyed it.\n\nI went for lunch so it wasn't crowded (which seems to be a common complaint). Our server was attentive, until she clearly forgot about my friend's margarita. But, she did remember before we had to remind her, so that wasn't terrible. \n\nMy burger was super yummy... it was medium-well like I asked and had tons of yummy blue cheese and bacon on it (I ordered the Cannes burger). However, their prices are a little steep for their portions. For 8bones, I feel like a burger should at least come with a pickle (if not fries). I was able to finish my entire burger (and I haven't done that in months) so the portions were fairly small. \n\nWhat really bugged me was their margarita selection. Sure, they have lots of choices, but they're all jumbo sized. I know $8 for a jumbo margarita is a fair price (it's like 1 1/2 $5 margaritas) but sometimes a gal just doesn't want a jumbo drink. It annoyed me that I couldn't find a regular sized margarita on their menu... but maybe that's just because I'm cheap. But my friend's margarita was nice (once it arrived).\n\nI'd go back for lunch, when I feel like getting a jumbo margarita. And next time, I'll probably just order the fries.", "Sorry, I have to give this place 5 stars. Everytime i go to copa i have a GREAT time. The location is key, at 4th and South, its basically the crux of activity in the South Street district. I enjoy sitting in the windows or along the sidewalks with friends, partaking in some french hating. French hating is when you basically talk about every person who walks past. I highly recommend the fruit margaritas, i always order a double, they are the most famous item on the menu. Another one of my favorites here would be the Caribbean Burger, prepared with jerk spices and mango chutney. Original and delicious!", "I think that the reason people rave about this place is that it really was good like 10-15 years ago before the national restaurant renaissance occurred here in the US.\n\nI mean, where could you go back then to get margaritas made with lime juice that was freshly squeezed that morning? How many burger joints actually cared enough to really make a great juicy burger? How many bars on South St. ever gave a crap enough to actually be clean inside? Certainly not Copa, but it didn't matter back then.\n\nCopa was competing against other places like theirs, because there weren't upscale alternatives spread all over the city. So, the margaritas and burgers, which were once considered strengths of Copa, are no longer special.\n\nHowever, to be fair, I don't think they're as bad as people are making them sound. The margaritas, yes, they're sweet and made with a mix, but I can't tell you how many bartenders cannot make a good margarita for the life of them. Their burgers are also pretty good. Maybe not spectacular, but I'm sorry, they are still decent burgers.\n\nI agree that the service sucks and it seems sort of dirty inside, but, then again, it's South St., so I'm used to it.\n\nLook, if you're in the area and you want a burger or a margarita, stop in.

It's not a dumpy hole-in-the-wall where you'll probably get sick and the meat is all chewy, jerky and it's mostly breading. It's not high end Chinese with really authentic dishes you never heard of and dim sum. It's just eh, in the middle. On a positive note, it's new and clean. This used to be Wendy's. They still have that funky green house section room with all the windows. It was a BBQ joint after that and before this incarnation. The decoration is sparse but adequate. There's a lot of windows left over from Wendy's. I ordered the BBQ spare ribs appetizer, and on the menu it says (4) as in 4 ribs, but it came without bones and all cut up. If I was on the wall between 3 and 4 stars, that pushed it toward 3. You NEVER cut up BBQ spare ribs and leave the bones out! Never! They say they have homemade pot stickers. They were the kind with a lot of chewy dough almost making it a meal in itself. I don't like those types. I'd prefer just dim sum. I don't know why Americans love pot stickers. I guess it's America's infatuation with the crispy versus the chewy. \n\nI had to order the General's Chicken, what they call on their menu, Genetal's Chicken. I know you think I'm making fun of people's limited comprehension of English, but I can guarantee you in China, they make fun of our tattoos in Chinese characters saying stuff we don't really intend like instead of \"warrior\" the Chinese translation might be \"monkey scrotum.\" I can guarantee you America! The Genetal's Chicken is the standard by which I judge the quality of meat and how it's cooked. It's a good measure, and these guys are right in the middle. A lot of breading, but a fair amount of juicy, fresh chicken, a notch above Panda Express. Accordingly, their prices are in the middle, not too low and not too high. I can't honestly say yah, I'm a fan, because I prefer some ingenuity and authenticity like they do at CaiE and CHI the two best Chinese restaurants in Reno, Peony coming in third because they're more upscale and do everything well, although folks aren't hot about their sushi. And I don't care what you say, I don't like Cafe 168 and I never will and trust me, I've kept going back trying. Too much on the menu and really poor service. Am I a Chinese expert you ask?

Walnut shrimp like none I've had before, not good. They could get our soup order right. My son who eats anything and everything didn't finish even half his plate. Kept having to ask for things they forgot to bring us. Egg rolls were just cabbage with a speck of carrot and speck green onion and very greasy. Asked for lemon 3 times. First waitress who seated us didn't understand English. When we asked for a straw they pulled it out of a box with hands they had just wiped a table off with, straws were not wrapped. Didn't use the straw. This place might last a little longer than the BBQ pit before that. And that was the pits.", "Very good place to eat simple and flavorful Chinese food. Service was excellent Janet was very helpful in describing the items on the menu to my son we will definitely be back.", "The staff here is quite friendly. This is my second time here. It is located in an old Wendy's hamburger restaurant they did a very nice job making it not feel like a fast food joint. But it is fast Chinese. I LOVE potstickers but did not like theirs. The dough was way to thick and doughy! The dipping sauce was unique and delicious. I did really like the Moo Shu Pork. The pancake was thin and my pork mixture was excellent! I'll try it one more time", "some of the best chines I've ever had and for sure one the best in Reno. I hope it stays and doesn't change.", "this is the best place to eat, in a friendly atmosphere and in an accessible location \ntheir special lunch is what I needed at only $ 6:95, \nand no more fast food, this place can enjoy healthy food and a unique flavor. \nNext time you think about eating out this option. \n  this place is just excellent ... I love the GENERAL CHICKEN!", "I have tried several Chinese restaurants in the Sparks area; this one is just next door in Reno. Best Chinese I have eaten here; had Mongolian Beef that tasted like what I got in the SF Bay area before moving here", "This restaurant offers good service and a comfortable atmosphere. My group and I ordered the Cantonese Dinner, which comes with soup, appetizers, several entrées, and the choice of rice or chow mein. At first, the soup and appetizers didn't seem to be too great. They were slightly bland and cold and we figured that it was because we didn't arrive to the restaurant until 9 p.m. We weren't sure if we would enjoy the meal. The entrées were actually delicious, and they totally made up for the soup and appetizers. This is a nice, family restaurant, considering its location.", "At the point of entry I was greeted with a smile, the atmosphere of the place just made me want to smile back. I kept my smile on, but throughout the dinner experience my smile had turned into a frown. The service was mediocre and the food was bland. What i was looking for in my experience there was a little bit more professionalism, it was amateur at best. The proprietor of the establishment does have some things he can do better, but we all do so I'd have to give this restaurant three stars for their service and the food." ]

[ "Brewforia is the best beer store I've ever been to, plain and simple. I just got back from Seattle & I visited the best specialty beer stores in that area and none of them were even close to Brewforia. Rick Boyd, the owner, spends a lot of time researching beers, going to festivals, visiting breweries, and arranging to get the beers locally. It's not always possible, but if at all possible, he'll get it for you. You can mix and match beers and they only cost the same as if you bought the entire 6 pack.\n\nThe prices are very reasonable!\n\nYou can also drink the beer on-site as he has both on-site & off-site consumption permits. And recently, they even got a pizza oven, so you can have something to eat as well.\n\nI just don't know how you can be disappointed with this specialty beer store. Great beers and great service.", "Great place. A really good selection of beers, though I would love to see more east coast brews. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We sat to drink a new beer while we thought about what new treasures we'd bring home.", "Plain and simple best beer store in the treasure valley", "Go here for beer! Nuff said. Don't waste ur time at sports bars or places with girls in tight shirts. Come here and drink amazng beer", "There isn't a better place in Idaho to get a beer. Lots of choices from all over the country and the world.", "Hats off to Rick Boyd for not only being passionate enough about beer to open a craft beer store locally but helping coordinate Boise's annual beer festival that has already proved quite popular after only a few years in existence.\n\nThere's really not much else to say about this place that hasn't been said. Part bar/part beer store, this is a place to come if you're looking for high-quality beer from around the world, be it to take home or enjoy there. They mostly dabble in single-bottle offerings but have multi-packs in the frig in the back. Plus there's a rotating set of beers on tap. It's a bit like Meridian's version of The Front Door bar in downtown Boise. They also host occasional events with beer tasting.\n\nI guess the knock on them for me would be that between them, the Co-Op, and Brewer's Haven, I think they generally have the highest prices of the three. But it's not insanely higher, generally $.50 to $1 for the stuff I regularly get. If Brewforia is the closest of the three to you, it's not really worth the extra driving to get the savings. Plus it's a place to actually hang out at and enjoy your beer in a comfortable and relaxed setting. As it's the furthest of the three for me now after they moved out of their old digs on Milwaukee (and even after they open up a new location in Bown Crossing soon), I don't get there all that often. But I sure appreciate them being here.", "Great place to grab a bite and linger a bit over a beer with friends. Specializing in unique flat breads (pizzas) and sandwiches for food offering, remember that the beers are the focus here.", "Nice selection of bottled beer. Small selection of beer on draft. Nice decor, atmosphere, and customer service. Decent food menu.\n\nBeing from Portland we have a far better beer store (John's Market on Multnomah) and pubs with much larger draft selections (Green Dragon) but this is a nice place in Boise to enjoy a cool draft with friends.\n\nThe menu includes pizza, salad, sandwiches, 6 varieties of chicken wings, and mussels. Outdoor seating on sunny days is another plus!", "I always meet interesting people, the service is awesome, and the beer selection... Oh, and try to beat a $5 growler fill!\n\nThis is one of the establishments that makes me happy I live in Boise.", "Have to say this is a great concept that is well executed by the owners.\nI would recommend this place to any micro brew lover.\nNever had any food there.

[ "Happened into South for the first time on a whim with my boyfriend. The decor is lovely--charming, enchanting, a little whimsical with Southern charm. The food was delicious. We ordered the crawfish fritters, hush puppies, gumbo, and wreck fish. All fantastic. Good drinks, great service.", "Besides the food being superb South is a wonderful room to hear live music! Wreckfish!!!!!!! Shrimp and Grits!!!! Gumbo!!!!! Whew what a great start for a new dining experience right in our neighborhood!", "It can be a traumatizing thing when your favorite neighborhood restaurant and happy hour is shut down, which is exactly how I felt when Route 6 went dark last year. I could reminisce about their bloody mary, clam chowder, burger and oysters for hours, but that would be dwelling in the past.\n\nI was excited when I heard the space was going to be retrofitted for a jazz scene and decided to check it out for happy hour during their opening week. Sure, there are a few kinks, but I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. This was already a beautiful space, and they didn't change the bones of the place much other than soundproofing the back room and adding some rustic touches along with some greenery, which was needed.\n\nThe staff was extremely friendly and timely (albeit a little shaky with the menu, which was expected). They need to declutter the menu presentation a bit to streamline the process. The draft beers are diverse and interesting with some exclusives from Evolution (yay for the peach, nay for the julep). On top of that, the cocktail selection is excellent, they're well prepared, and in-line for pricing. \n\nWe tried the three happy hour food specials, which were: pork boudine croquettes, crawfish fritters, and a smoked mushroom flatbread. If you like scrapple, order the croquettes. They're delicious two-bite morsels that pair really well with the mustard and pickled cabbage underneath them. The crawfish fritters will be the item this place is known for shortly, order them to find out why. The flatbread is tasty and unique with a ton of smoky mushroom flavor, but I have to say they need more cheese on it and less sauce. This is coming from a guy that likes saucy pizza. \n\nThe neighborhood is really taking off, but it's still in the early phases, which is what Starr found out with Route 6, so until foot traffic really expands, this needs to be a destination spot to succeed. I'm really rooting for South to anchor the area's food and music scene along with Alla Spina and Osteria. As a matter of fact, I'll be down for drinks tonight!\n\nSuggestion: Extend happy hour to 6:30 or 7:00 to keep people around for jazz and avoid losing customers to Alla Spina's 7:00 happy hour next door.", "This place just opened up in the former Route 6. Have now been three times in about a week and a half. Space is very open and they have two rooms essentially - the main dining and bar and then a separate enclosed jazz lounge (full dining). I've had drinks, full dinner, and happy hour - and all have been awesome. \n\nThe food is blowing my mind. I was skeptical of southern / New Orleans type cuisine as its not my favorite but this is a modern twist - everything has just a hint of the south. Everything tastes rich but is not over sauced or covered in cream.\n\nThe scallop crudo is awesome - slightly smoked and comes with some chilis and avocado.\n\nThe crawfish fritters are exactly as they sound - amazing.\n\nThe gnocchi is a cornmeal take on it with a soft egg and some bitter greens - really tasty. \n\nThe fired oysters are one of favorite things so far. They are smaller in size than the typical one - perhaps this is why they are so darn tender. \n\nThe best dish I've had so far is the corn soup. It's a massive bowl and comes with two blue crab beignets. This dish is rich without being too creamy or heavy. \n\nAnd don't forget the bread. You get corn muffins and bacon biscuits with sweet cream butter. So awesome.\n\nThey have a solid beer and wine list (seem to be figuring this out as they go along) and they have a lot of bourbon based cocktails. \n\nHappy hour is 4-6 and you get $2 off beer, $5 glasses of white or red wine and a deal on the cocktails but I don't exactly remember.\n\nHaven't stayed for jazz but my neighbors did and liked it. \n\nCheck it out!", "So I was here about two weeks ago right before they had their grand opening. I honestly just stumbled on it and decided to try it out with my boyfriend.\nThis place is outstanding. Really it is probably my new favorite place in the city. The staff are amazing. The food is mind blowingly good. The atmosphere is calming on one side and more upbeat on the other.\nI like to hear about attire for places so I will include that; we showed up very casual just because we had been walking around. I would certainly say jeans and t-shirts are not appropriate, but simple khaki's and a collared shirt for men is appropriate.\nPrices are mildly expensive, but worth it. I highly recommend coming here. You won't be sorry.", "I stopped in here with my girlfriend on a Saturday night and grabbed some food and drinks in the lounge area adjacent to the bar and we were both very pleased with the experience. The service, atmosphere, food and drinks were superb and is a must visit for anyone who likes Live jazz, great southern food or hand crafted cocktails. South Sazerac is there house specialty and is amazing! We had the friend oysters, pork croquettes, burger and hush puppies from the bar menu and each dish was better than the next. I highly recommend this restaurant!", "The food and the ambience was lovely- fresh, clean and neutral. We had the shrimp, fried oysters and crawfish fritters. It's fancy southern food. I enjoyed it and will go again. They also had live jazz which I enjoyed.", "YES. YUM. GO.\n\nThis is probably the best restaurant I've been to in a long time - fantastic food, great service, warm atmosphere, live music. What more could you want? (Maybe a name that is more distinctive when trying to conduct a google search, but hey...)\n\nWe started off with a round of cocktails at the bar. At the bartender's offering, we told him what flavors/alcohol we liked and he made us delicious, custom drinks. The hostess then offered to give us a mini-tour of the space, so we could see the live jazz area - while tables are available here for a small cost (more on Thursdays when the bigger acts come through), you can also sit in the main part of the restaurant so the music isn't overwhelmingly loud.\n\nWe then settled in for a round of appetizers: the Louisiana Crawfish Fritters and Crispy Rock Shrimp were fantastic (clearly fried shellfish has a special place in my heart) and the South House Salad was very fresh. We were equally delighted by the Carolina White Shrimp and lobster grits (3 big shrimp, very little lobster) and our Apple dessert.", "When walking into the restaurant the decor at 1st sight is reminiscent of Route 6, the restaurant that previously was at this location. However, upon further inspection, the subtle differences helped to improve the ambience. The lighting was perfect, not too dim but not to bright either. The lighting provided a radiant glow. Throughout the restaurant there were ample mason jars filled with fresh vegetables that decorated the cabinets while providing a \"homey\" feel to the place. The staff was friendly and attentive.\n\nWent with my bf. While my food was good, some of his food was disappointing :(. For appetizers I had the crawfish fritters while he tried the rock shrimp. The waiter raved about the crawfish, but I think his shrimp stole the show. The fritters had too little crawfish with too much dough / batter. \n\nI had the Berkshire pork with collard greens & polenta for my entree. The pork was tender, flavorful & succulent. The greens truly tasted like authentic southern cuisine & the polenta was bland. His meal was not good. My bf had the strip steak that came with carrots & crispy potatoes. His steak appeared to be undercooked & he said the carrots were hard. Of course, since I love him so, I shared my collard greens & pork with him :). He didn't seem to be disappointed.\n\nWhile I mentioned his disappointment with the carrots to one of the staff, she shared it with the manager, who did nothing, including coming to check on us.\n\nThe dessert menu seemed to be ok, but nothing we had to try. The bacon biscuits and corn muffins served at the beginning of the meal were great. This place would be 4 stars in my book, but given the lack of response to my bf's concerns, it's only a 3 in my book.", "South is a beautiful looking restaurant. If only the food matched the décor this would be a 5-star restaurant. Unfortunately, the food is a mixed bag. Things start off good with a bread basket containing corn muffins and bacon biscuits. The corn muffins were very good but the bacon taste in the biscuits was too strong for my liking. For appetizers I had a chance to try the rock shrimp and the crawfish fritters. The rock shrimp was delicious but the crawfish was not. Although to be fair I generally wouldn't even eat crawfish, so those that like crawfish may find it tasty. \n\nFor my entrée I had the strip steak with carrots and potatoes. The steak comes pre-cut into slices. I ordered it medium, but it came out medium rare. I only ordered it medium because in general only the steakhouses know how to cook medium rare properly, so I was actually pleasantly surprised to see what appeared to be a perfectly cooked medium rare steak. Then I went to cut it. The steak was not easy to cut. Despite appearing to be a perfectly cooked juicy medium rare steak, it was actually chewy dry tasting steak. One bite I had to wash down with water because I couldn't completely chew it. Another slice was clearly from the end of the steak, and was so difficult to cut through that I didn't even eat it. I'm guessing the restaurant must be cooking the cheapest possible steak they can find. The chef cut it into slices, which means he knew he was serving me a poor quality steak that was not easy to cut through with an end piece that I probably wouldn't be able chew. I have no way of knowing if this is standard practice or that they pre-judged that I wouldn't know what a good quality steak is supposed to taste like. I've been to great steakhouses in both Philly & NYC, but this steak tasted like what I used to get as a kid at Sizzler. My girlfriend did share her pork chop and greens with me. Unlike my steak, the pork chop was wonderful and the greens were among the best I have tasted.\n\nThe restaurant also has a very nice looking room for live Jazz. I would have loved to listen to some Jazz there, but the web site did not have a calendar with a complete schedule of artists and times. When I arrived at 6:30 hoping I might be able to listen to some Jazz starting at 7, I was informed that the Jazz doesn't start until 8. I should not have to guess. It's not hard to set up a Google calendar and link to it from the restaurant web site.\n\nI do see potential in SOUTH. The restaurant is beautiful, the Jazz concept is awesome, and they have some good meals. If they want to stand the test of time they must make it easier for people to see the Jazz schedule and set better standards in the kitchen when it comes to steak or simply take it off the menu. If it's difficult to cut through then don't serve it!" ]

[ "This is our default beach -- especially the stretch south of the Don Cesar. It's usually not *too* crowded down there, & for whatever reason we like it best. It seems to me that most of the beaches in this area are about the same as far as the quality of the sand & the temperature of the water; they've all got nice, silky white sand, & the beach gently slopes into the Gulf so you've got to go out a ways just to get up to your waistline (which I love!). Plus, coming from California, the water here's swimmable in any season.\n\nOne day when we went, it was so windy that the seagulls were HOVERING over us. They weren't flapping much, they weren't going higher, & they weren't going lower. They were just hanging in the air, anywhere from 3 to 8 feet above our heads. (Lower when they came down for french fries...) The wind also made it freezing, so the patches of reeds came in handy for blocking said coldness.\n\nAt the southernmost stretch of the beach, there's a handful of restaurants & shops where you can get food or souvenirs. A little bit further north from there, there's a little beach shack with bathrooms, outdoor showers for rinsing off the sand, & I think it has a snack shop, too.", "In my opinion, the nicest beach in Tampa. Never over crowded. Good choice of restaurants. Showers to rinse off. Parking is cheap. Easy to access, you literally park and walk 50 feet to the beach.", "great beach for access to beach, food, small town boutique shops, slower traffic. It's got it all!", "I've been living in Florida for almost a year now, and Pass-a-Grille is by far the best beach I have found to date. The sand is white and usually free of litter and garbage, and the water is clear and warm (however all of it is here compared to the California water I'm used to). Moreover, this is my go-to beach because its never overly crowded and overrun by tourists, even on the weekends. It is a laid back, relaxing get away not too far from decent restaurants and shops. I absolutely adore this place, and most of my summer plans will surely involve this beach!", "White sandy beaches with a good chance of finding some nice sea shells. Beautiful blue, clear water. What more could you ask for? I love this beach!", "Pass-a-Grille Beach is like no place else. It's well worth the flight from California to go here.", "It is just beautiful. White sands, clear blue water and very clean. Can't wait to go back.", "4.5 stars...\n\nI went to both Clearwater and St Pete/Pass-A-Grille beaches while in Florida and found both to be quite similar. The beaches are wide though if you're going during low tide more than half the beach is moist and packed down and you'll be farther from the calm clear waters if you want to sit in the soft white sand. Everyone talks about how white the sand is at Siesta Key and although it is the whitest sand, the sand at the rest of the beaches in the area don't vary a great deal and are still very nice. St Pete beach is a longer beach and if you keep going south you'll reach Pass-A-Grill which is much less busy (it's mostly residential) but there's still a nice concentration of restaurants/shops on 8th ave (otherwise the shops at St Pete can be spread out a bit). Clearwater's slightly smaller beach makes for a little denser business concentration and they do have pier 60 which is cool to check out or go fishing on (for a small fee). If you're debating between the two there really isn't a huge difference. There are nice beach bars at both, same great sunset, same great soft sand, and you have to pay for parking and leave your alcohol at home (or of course get creative with it). If I had to choose between the two I'd give the edge to Clearwater as it has transportation to Tampa, better nearby restaurants, and has a little bit more going on (if you wanted seclusion you wouldn't really be going to either beach anyway).", "Nice small beach area when you want to be somewhere not so crowded, but if you want to be around more things and people then Clearwater beach it is, and it's nice there too but Pass-A-Grille is just so nice love to go down there and hang out sometimes.", "When a beach has a solid 5-star rating you know it has to be good. Recently revisited Pass-a-Grille for the first time in years while trying to expand the beach repertoire in greater Tampa Bay. It is pretty much the perfect beach. The crowds are really limited, the sand is great (only better at Siesta Key, but it's way crowded there), the water is beautiful, there's bathrooms right across the street if you park properly, and you don't have to walk far to get to the water.\n\nProbably shouldn't say this for fear of getting the beach crowded, but if you're in Pinellas County and want a great beach, make sure you check out Pass-a-Grille." ]

Very crunchy and nutty on the outside. Also well seasoned inside. \n\nThe only thing is the price point. It's a little high (as food trucks usually are), but I got some quality food for the money, so it's very VERY close to balancing out. And the cook was entertaining during the short wait.

You can definitely tell fresh ingredients are used, I recommend this place worth the money!", "Fresh, delicious, food. High quality and super friendly service.

Falafel was packed with flavor and crunch you could pick out different bits of the mix so it wasn't just a singular soft mash bite. \n\nLoved my chicken Shwarma so much I craved seasoned chicken thereafter. It was well cooked and very well seasoned with veggies that added all the fresh and crunch you wanted in the heavy meal. I thought I'd need a plate to fill me but the sandwich did it well. \n\nDownside on the tzatziki sauce - wasn't really a fan kind of felt flat/mayo-ish to me.

Throw in a bag of their AMAZING fries, and you're good to go! Don't come here looking for a big selection or a great place to sit and eat--although they do have some tables inside and a few tables outside--this is mainly a place for good take-out.

The atmosphere isn't anything special but the food makes up for it.\n\nThey deliver too.\n\nIf you want a burger in Reno try this place before all others...you will not be disappointed.", "The hamburgers are good, yeah they are good but I rarely eat here. Why you might ask, Well if you did it would be because I hate food that falls apart and my hamburger always falls apart. It pisses me off to the point of wanting to throw it against the wall.

But the burgers are good, did I say that already?", "Juicy's is distinctive and I can see why some people like them a lot. \nBut they just don't do it for me. First off, I've had problems with service with them going back about 16 years now. It seems every time I go in there something happens. The order is wrong or its horribly late or something.\nI went in recently, and nothing happened. But the burger was just okay. I ordered a double burger and apparently to give the impression you're getting a huge burger they pile on extra lettuce. It makes it difficult to bite the burger. And on top of it, it was stale lettuce. I should have pulled the lettuce off before I tried eating the sandwhich, but I took a bite or two, and everything kind of got mushed together and if tried to pull the lettuce out then everything would have fallen apart.\nThe fries were good, better than most chain restaurants, but not fantastic.\nThere's better places for me to get burgers in town.", "The hamburgers are good, albeit expensive. They are cooked well-done leaning towards fully cooked, unless you ask them to make it different. The flavor is great, and it's a thick burger, which is always a good thing.\nAlso thick is the onion, which they basically slice and put on there, so unless you're a fan of tears on your friends eyes from your breath, ask them to skip, or manually remove. Salty, and fresh. Nothing bad about that.\nThey do have homemade ranch, which is delicious, and creamy. I enjoy dipping both burger and fries in it, for those extra calories that we all need.\n\nThe place is always playing some old music, and they have a couple of ancient arcades in a corner, which are awesome if you're into retro games.\n\nThe staff is friendly, and the place is clean enough.\n\nThe biggest complaint about it is the price, but I've never left feeling hungry after eating a cheeseburger.", "Juicy's is a clean, happy place to take everyone to get away from the strip in Reno. The 1/3-pound patties of fresh ground beef are smothered in American cheese and sit on a toasted sesame bun and a pile of lettuce, tomato and onion. The whole burger was as juicy as the name implies. I got the double cheeseburger for $6.57. Way more beef than bun. The fries are thick and crispy, but not quite as good as the burger. This place is a winner for a quick burger in Reno. \n\nHoosier Burger Boy", "Juicy's had my mouth watering! :-)\nNewly remodeled, and spruced up inside and out, nice spring time flowers, and very welcoming feeling.

They offer delivery, and also have beer for dine in - and have new hours but not sure what those are!", "I have had juicy's twice....Once I ordered a burger, once a Teriyaki chicken burger. First time was over off McCarren on the eastside of town and the Teriyaki burger was fantastic. Fries were so so. Second time was on Wells Ave....I never ate that burger because I witnessed the girl behind the counter smoking outside, never washed her hands when she came in and then started to rip lettuce apart. Bad, but not horrible. What ensued next was her sneezing in her shirt, and wiping her nose with her hand while she is doing the lettuce. I prompty took my burger, threw it away with the fries since they weren't great either and enjoyed my diet coke while going threw the drive through at taco johns.", "I love Juicy's because it is one of those great fall-back places for when you're not sure where to eat. The food is always delicious and the people treat you right. The burgers are maybe not \"giant\" but they are definitely big and a perfect match to their tasty golden fries. There are a handful of good burgers in Reno, but Juicy's is always at the top of my list." ]

[ "As far as I know, there are several Cibo locations in the Philadelphia International Airport.\n\nSince we had to catch a flight (and the place was already chock full of diners), we only had time for drinks. The food looked good but, as you know, looks can be deceiving. Speaking of looking good, the interior wasn't too shabby.\n\nI ordered two Washington Apples (at $10/shot) which I found so-so (alcoholic aftertaste), but my fellow drinker liked hers. Vicki, our (cute!) bartender, was friendly and made our shots quickly.\n\nCan't recommend for or against Cibo yet, but will return in due time.", "We were flying out of Philly on Saturday right as the Belmont was starting. I needed to at least view a little pre-race excitement and we were told we could watch the race at Cibo's. (We were flying out of the new terminal A and would have known to go to the Jet Rock if we were in terminal B). \n\nThe place was packed which I thought was a good sign and a nice couple leaving for their flight offered us a spot at their table. They wanted to pay as their plane was leaving and we told the waitress we had more time than they did. No, she had to take our order first. Then after more waiting she came with the bill and left before they could give her their credit card; not that I would have done it but Dine and Dash came to mind. Finally they were paid up and left (they even invited us to come visit in North Carolina; I guess we really bonded during that wait). Then after more waiting our drinks came; there was no spice to my spicy Bloody Mary and they mixed up the husband's request for a twist and he received an olive. OK, since it would take so much time we just dealt with it. We then repeated the above wait-for-the-bill act that our friends from North Carolina had gone through. When the bill came it was $21.15 for two well drinks and that did not include tip. \n\nPlease Philly, put a Jet Rock in your new terminal A. This snotty little place just will not do. Two stars because it is clean and hip looking with a bank of TVs and has upscale food offerings if you are on expense account.", "Cibo is definitely my go-to when I'm in Philly for airport food. Pretty good variety on the menu and they always get the food out quickly. Absolutely 4-star for airport food. One or two tables are close to outlets.", "Questionable so far. I always try to give early morning staff the benefit of the doubt...but they seem unhappy that their tables are actually filling up. \nThe food was pretty good if you can excuse the fact that it was barely lukewarm. Sadly, the service did not improve much during my time in their establishment. Likelihood of a repeat visit? Slim to none.", "My husband and I are at the airport waiting on the plane when I said \"baby, remember last year when we were here and had the worst experience EVER at that Cibo Bistro\". He said \"too bad you didn't know about yelp back then. People should know how bad it was \". \n\nSo here I am waiting for the plane to take off and more than happy to tell people to stay away, especially if you want basic service where forks are not tossed at you and when you ask for hot food, you actually get somthing warm.", "I'm a big Cibo fan and love the locations at LGA and DCA. PHL - not so much. Stopped in for lunch today not realizing there was a Legal Seafood not too far away and was really disappointed. The menu is \"new\" and several of my favorites are no longer available. \n\nI went with the Italian wedding soup and calamari. The soup was \"ok\", the calamari was over breaded, tough and not very hot. Considering the place was almost empty there was no reason for it to be cold. Waited awhile for the check but my waitress was nowhere to be seen so I went up to the bar as the restaurant was extremely hot. She intercepted me on the way there but didn't apologize for the fact that I'd had to go looking for her.\n\nI wouldn't rule out all Cibos but this one is definitely one to stay away from.", "1. Employee at the counter prepared salads with her bare hands. That is, she scooped up salad greens with her hands. No gloves. And this was right after she had handled cash and credit cards from customers\n\n2. I ordered a 12 dollar Arrabiata Linguine. Tomato sauce, chillies, garlic and parmesan. I was eating it and discovered some pieces of beef. The noodles were thrown away immediately. As a vegetarian and a Hindu, not only was the addition of beef unwarranted it was also offensive\n\n3. Watching them make their salads was quite a scary experience. The same tongs are used to pick up everything: from lettuce, tomatoes, onions, chicken, cheese, croutons etc. If you have any sort of allergies or dietary restrictions (vegetarian/vegan) steer away from this nightmare\n\nI am writing this review from Athens. That is how upset I was at my experience at Cibo that I wanted to let people know ASAP about the travesty that this place is.\n\nI know people don't really look at reviews when picking a place to eat at an airport. But if I could dissuade anyone from eating and spending hard-earned money there, I'll feel better. Not only do they fail several health code violations...their employees and food lacks basic decency. Avoid at all costs.", "If you want a sit down meal, a soda and a burger... This is the spot! The burger was fantastic! Medium rare with buffalo mozarella wow! Skip the booze though, one mixed drink was $11!", "What! Who are these people reviewing? First, you can't judge airport food against normal food. Airport food after security is on a lower scale...it's just life.\n\nTaking that into account, Cibo is actually some pretty solid airport food. I had the ahi tuna entree and a salad.....this ended up being one of the best airport meals I've had in a while.\n\nRecommended.", "Nice place for a quick take out from the fridge case for an in-flight meal. Remember this is airport food. The ham, provolone, watercress sandwich on multigrain bread was well made. The bread was a little soggy but the watercress was peppery but a little wilted. The tomato was mealy. The cheese was good with a nice sharp flavor.\n\nGranted it was a good sandwich which could have been better but probably had been sitting around a bit in the fridge case. But lets be honest this is airport food, expect lower quality and higher prices for it. IT was a fast pick up and quick check out which makes up for it at the airport in between connections.\n\nAs a side note they had single size Pellegrino rather then the ubiquitous perrier, which is a plus in my book." ]

(Hoegaarden, Victory Hop Devil, and 3 or so other usuals). \n\nThe real time to stop by is when they have the live entertainment, karaoke, or for their daily specials. They also offer a take-out beer section if you're looking for a six pack to go.\n\nDon't bring kids, don't bring your best clothes, and enjoy a cold one at the bar.", "Looks like Jamison Pub is going to be closing/turning into \"Just Sports\". Which I find pretty funny because Just Sports opened up about a year ago further down York Rd and then closed about 6 month later. Soncini's took over and is still running a bar there.", "So happy when this went from skanky, dirty bar \"Just Sports\" and was redone and became the Jamison Pour House! Family friendly (although we sat next two two young families and their kids were all over the place. This is, however, a parenting problem). Next time I'll ask to sit in the front section. The back section has lots of TV's, tables, the bar and a beautiful fireplace. I'm pretty sure there is seating on the deck but we didn't check that out yet. Food is reasonably priced, good burgers (really big!) and nice atmosphere. Looking forward to their happy hour specials and lunch menu since it's right down the street. Enjoyed it and would love to go back!", "This restuarant/bar is clean and family friendly with an arcade area for kids. The bar is nice, with beautiful work done on the fireplace. TV's are everywhere. Service is OK and the food is good (although, the nachos are covered in cheese wiz and all the fun stuff is on the top layer only, so I don't recommend those...). Parking is good. It was a little loud the last time I was there because there was a live band/trivia night, but that's what you get when eating at 8PM! There's a deck area, but I haven't been out to see it yet. Overall, a good casual dining place and a good place to go watch the games on the weeknds!", "Incredibly average. \"ok\" beer selection. Had the dogfish 60 minute but it tasted \"off\". I don't know if the taps needed to be cleaned or if the beer was bad. Food was alright. The best thing about the menu is if you order a sandwich you can get two different halfs - you don't have to get a whole sandwich of the same thing. There are so many better choices in the area..........", "Every since I moved from the Abington area, leaving behind the Drake (love the long windows that open out to the street - food can be hit or miss, but when it's hit, it's grand) and the Vintage (owners are fabulous, bartenders great, food always a hit - but small and too dark) I've been searching for a 'replacement.' \nSomeone recommended the Jamison Pour House and though it took us a few months to actually get around to going, I think I've found my replacement (if only it wasn't a 20 minute drive!).\nDo not let its small stature on the outside fool you. When you walk in, there is a nice dining area to the right and a bar to the left. \nOf course, we headed straight to the bar. The bar area is filled with windows (love). It was a sunny day, the blinds were closed, but it was still bright without being distracting. There were many tables in the dining room, but we sat at the bar. Many TV's throughout - with great crystal clear pictures- this would be a great place to watch sports. There was a wonderful fireplace, which gave it a cozy feeling.\nThere was a juke box (a MUST for me to be truly satisfied!!) and the bartender knew how to make a \"wedding cake martini.\" - so it was shaping up to take the lead for my 'new favorite bar.' Then the food arrived .\nJohn had mussels in white sauce - which he said was excellent. One feature that I love about the Jamison Pour House is that you can mix and match (half of one sandwich, half of another) your pub sandwiches for a buck extra. \nI had half the porchetta - slow roasted pork with provolone and peppers and half roast beef w/ provolone. John had half roast beef and half cheesesteak. We split fries, and the fries were crispy and hot and seasoned just right! The sandwiches were fabulous and they are known for their porchetta and now I know why!\nService was speedy and the bartender was attentive without being pushy or annoying. \nMost excellent place. I can't wait to return!!!!", "Decent drinks. I got the 10 oz steak with onion rings and garlic mashed potatoes. Steak was ok at best not well marinated. I liked the garlic mashed potatoes though.", "The first time we went service & food was average. We recently went back when they had their HOP FEST & had a totally different experience. The beer selection was phenomenal & I just checked their draft list & it's pretty darn good. The food was good too - i got some crazy burger with pork roll & a fried egg & all the guys liked their food. They were PACKED the night we went but everyone was super nice - bartenders & servers so..... we would go back!!!!!!", "Since this place has been transformed into a family friendly establishment, complete with game room for the kids, and large beer menu, I have been meaning to stop by.\n\nI went there with the hope that I would have pasta with oil and garlic, but that appears to have been removed from the menu, and not reflected on the website.\n\nTheir beer selection is big, with probably at least 25 taps. You are given a list to peruse, with stamps over kegs that have kicked and stamps saying just tapped. It was a bit confusing to read, and also lacked sufficient description of the beers to give you a good idea of what something is without tasting it.\n\nI had a bottle of George Washington's Porter from Yards, which is one of my favorites. Bar loses points for giving me a frosted glass to pour it into.\nSecond beer was a Paulaner Oktoberfest.\n\nFor food I got the Monday special, the Pour House burger. It is a big burger served on a brioche style bun. I asked for it medium rare and it game out medium well. The burger had some caramelization on it but really lacked in flavor. A single piece of cheddar was melted on it, not even covering the whole top of the burger. Through eating the burger, the bun disintegrated, leaving me no choice but to eat the remainder with knife and fork. But not a bad deal for five dollars.\n\nThe moral of the story is you can put 25 tap lines in, but unless you can communicate to patrons and provide good food to go along with it, you will only go so far. Jamison Pour House has come half way. Lets see if they can bring it home to make this a truly wonderful establishment.", "This was my first time here, and it was okay. The staff all seemed overly friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. We came here for more of a meal than \"drinking\". I wasn't really impressed with the food. I ordered the Crab Mac & Cheese which was tasty, but was presented very poorly and quite expensive for what it was. No side dishes or anything was included, just the entree. The pasta dish my friend had was also good, but nothing real unique. \n\nThe beer selection is enormous, which is obviously the main draw here. You obviously don't really come here to have a \"Miller Lite\" type of beer (although you certainly could). The few drinks I did have were excellent, but that is for a different review site. \n\nI will definitely return on more of a \"bar night\", but would get the \"finger food\" selections as opposed to a full meal." ]

I ordered a Jack Daniels burger, and it was moist, having plenty of taste, the ketchup I added wasn't truly necessary. The bacon didn't detract from the taste of the beef. The fries were pretty bland, I would say they are about on par with those of Ruby Tuesdays except with more seasoning. \n\nThe waiter did a good job, having a drink already ready for me before my drink was low, and checking on us regularly to make sure we didn't need anything. A pretty good experience overall.", "it's like a chili's/applebee's but with BETTER TASTING FOOD!...\n\ni'm in love with their dragonfire chicken.. it's a grilled chicken breast with kung pao sauce on top (so needless to say it's sweet..with a little tangy).. with their brown rice medley, which i have to say is really good.. i didn't know brown rice can taste like that.. i wouldn't have known it was brown rice if they didn't say so..it's topped with a pineapple pico de gallo (what some of you might think of as salsa..but salsa is more like a liquid form)..and canned mandarin oranges on top.. .. *drools*..\n\nthe service was wonderful too..our server was the mellow laid back honest type..that wasn't just saying miscellaneous stuff just to get a better tip..", "Went here after hitting up the Hard Rock Casino. Started out with buffalo wings for a appetizer and finished it up with a Jack Daniels Burger for my meal. The food was what you expect from a restaurant like TGIFridays and the service was great. I will return next time I'm in the area.", "I came here for an officer lunch social with people from my club. They had half-off appetizers which was neat, but the service and food quality was lacking. I ordered their new Teriyaki Burger, it wasn't very good and the fries were not good at all, I had to drench them in ketchup so they could taste decent. I suppose I shouldn't have expected much since my last visit here wasn't that appetizing either. All my friends appetizers that they ordered such as the potato skins and tostada chips tasted dry and barely had any taste at all to them. \n\nThey messed up my friends order on how they cooked her meal, then gave her a hard time about it. The waitress sent out her manager to explain why they messed up and they agreed to take the order off the menu. Then they sent us our bill and everyone was charged 18% gratuity for lunch at TGIF. Please. I would understand if we were at the Cheesecake Factory or something, but TGIF? For barely 8 people? We could have all sat at separate tables and then the waitress would have had to do more work coming to us individually, we weren't a hassle at all so I don't see why gratuity was included. On top of that her service was sub-par, she wasn't even worth 15%. She had a half-attitude throughout the meal and we weren't rowdy or difficult at all until they messed up how they cooked my friends meal.\n\nMy friend who had her order messed up and had it removed from her bill ended up getting the gratuity charge as well and they charged gratuity for the total including what they discounted, which would have meant she was paying double her bill in gratuity. The managers and waitress gave her a really hard time about it before they finally they took it off. By the time everyone left, we were all frustrated with the restaurant and their service.\n\nNo more lunch socials there for us, next time we're going to Chili's if we are feeling American food. The 1/2 off appetizers couldn't make up for TGIF's lack of good food and just annoyingly bad service.", "Well, it's a TGIFriday's...\n\nI'm not usually a HUGE fan of Fridays, they do have awesome french onion soup, but my bro-in-law swore this was the place to be. We showed up on a Monday night around 11pm and there was a 15 minute wait. Seriously? The place was friggin PACKED!\n\nWe get seated and realized why it's probably so backed. Well, first off, it's right near the University of South Florida, so that's one reason. The second reason is that it's half price appetizers and 2 for 1 drinks. Score! \n\nHubby got the sliders, which were really tasty and I got the chicken quesadilla. They quesadillas were really good, but they give you ALOT of them, so it's plenty to share.\n\nAll in all, it was a pretty good experience. :)", "First of all, I usually like most of the food at Fridays, but the food at this location was just OK with the exception of the delicious bread sticks. I wasn't that hungry so I got the soup and salad combination. The all you can eat bread sticks, salad and soup seemed like a great deal, but it wasn't due to the soup being way too salty. I tried both the clam chowder and the cream of broccoli soup and both were too salty. The bread sticks on the other hand were perfect! It was warm, golden and crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside with a hint of garlic to it. The salad was just your basic salad so there's not much to say about that aside from the fact that it was fresh tasting. \n\nThe bread sticks were soo good though that my husband and I had the waitress bring us back four or five baskets of it, lol! The waitress was nice but a little overly attentive by explaining things that we didn't even ask about. She was nice though and when I complained about the soup being too salty, she offered to talk to the manager and comp us for it. So we got a half off discount on my order. She also said that a lot of people have complained about the soup being too salty before. So if you go to this location, avoid the soup unless you like your food to be super salty.", "The wait was extremely short. The staff was awesome.

Waited for 30 minutes for really awful looking, terrible-tasting diner food. \nNo excuse for poor management and awful food. Plenty of other good dining choices in the Loop.", "I don't even know where to begin. I have lived all over the US and eaten in restaurants in just about every major city, and I have never had such an awful experience. If I could give this review negative stars, it would have them. We were a party of six. Restaurant had customers, but no where near capacity. No one acknowledged us. After about ten minutes, the bartender acknowledged us and brought us drinks. Still no server in sight. Both of my daughters are servers, and believe me I know how restaurants work, and clearly no one at the Peacock has a clue. There didn't seem to be any assigned tables...waitstaff was wandering around, some obviously had no idea what they were supposed to be doing. Now to the food. Three of the party had burgers. These were perhaps the worst burgers ever served. One of my party said it tasted like it had been boiled. Another ordered the shrimp po boy. The \"Asian slaw\" had no dressing...it was just plain cabbage, with some lettuce thrown in. Maybe 5 tiny fried shrimp, and they were cold. My tuna wasabi melt had no wasabi, and it was also cold. The 6th member of our party walked out when she was told her soup would take an additional half hour. The only kudos were to the bartender, who seemed to be working in what I can only describe as a cacophony of chaos. This restaurant was clearly no where near ready to open. The cooks do not know the menu (and the menu isn't that big!), the servers have clearly never served anywhere in their lives. This place should be hopping, and it was an abysmal experience from the moment we walked in. The decor is fabulous. Joe Edwards, you need to fire your manager, as he/she clearly is completely inadequate to this task. Hire someone who has actually managed a restaurant before!", "The ice water was excellent.\n\nUnfortunately, that's all we had.\n\nWe weren't greeted when we came in, so we seated ourselves. We got water and menus, but after 10 minutes, nobody had come to take our order.\n\nMy wife found the manager and asked if anyone was assigned to our counter. She looked annoyed and just said that \"there was a mixup\" and walked away. No apology.\n\nAfter another five minutes without service, we left.\n\nIt's astonishing that a place owned by a long-time successful restaurateur would be so incompetent.\n\nThe place looks great, but I don't know if I'll be back. I'd rather spend my money at a place that cares about the customer.", "This place has a lot of potential but they definitely don't have all the kinks sorted out. No egg whites.

The menu is okay - it's pretty much Johnny Rockets menu with a few random Asian items to avoid plagiarism.\n\nI ordered the Milk & Honey spiked milkshake, and a double cheeseburger, well-done. I planned to get the single cheeseburger, but the server successfully upsold me after sharing that most single cheeseburger customers were disappointed (begging the question of why it's on the menu, but I digress). \n\nAfter waiting 45 minutes, I'd gone through a few ice waters, but still no food. The double cheeseburger showed up, medium rather than well-done, and without the toppings requested. The spiked milkshake was forgotten, and showed up a few minutes later. It was horribly mixed such that the first sips were like taking a shot, and the rest of the drink could have been given to a baby. When I got the bill, I was billed for the wrong milkshake.\n\nI think I'll just go to Denny's or Waffle House next time.", "fun atmosphere and great staff. the black bean burger was delicious and a modest $5. would go back!", "Reasonably high expectations were dashed when, at 11:40 a.m. on this Friday, I was told the wait for food would be 45 minutes because they were still getting the kinks out of their kitchen operation. I opted for what turned out to be a tiny bowl of chili. Meh. For $4 I expected more, or at least much better. They should have waited until ready for customers before opening.", "While the interior design is beautifully done, I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. I came with a few friends last night and after waiting for around 15 minutes for a server, we ordered a few appetizers. The diner was only about half full but the appetizers took a full hour to arrive. When they arrived, they were stone cold, and the server dropped one of the appetizers onto the table and left it lying there until one of us picked it up. There were no words of apology, nor any attempts to explain or replace the dropped appetizer. \n\nLater, a friend and I had to leave our group early, so I stood up to pay. There is no clear area to pay, so I stood near the cash register I saw and waited for someone to notice me. I made it clear I was waiting to be served, and there was no one else around me who was also waiting, but about 5-6 servers passed me and ignored me. I'd like to say they were busy waiting other customers, which would have been understandable, however they were merely chatting with each other, or filling a cup with ice. I attempted to leave money with my friends, but was unable to break the bills I had with me. \n\nEventually, I practically chased a waitress halfway around the diner and got her attention where she helped me pay for my cold appetizers at a painfully slow pace. Needless to say, I was not impressed with the service and had much higher expectations for this place. The atmosphere is very well done, but apart from that, the food was mediocre and the service was disastrously terrible.", "24 hr diner, because that's how long it takes to get your food....oh, wait my server is entering her tips. That's obviously more important than the industry people sitting at your counter that would've tipped you more than what you've made all night.

I am not a sushi connoisseur, but I know what tastes good.", "My family's \"go-to\" sushi place in the area and top notch rolls, service plus quiet small and comfortable place to BYOB any nite. We can't comment too much on the cooked food as always go for sushi. They have great variety and the size of the rolls is an appropriate and tasty mouthful vs too big to eat. The family servers and sushi chefs are quiet, respectful and work hard at good service. But they are also very friendly and take care well of your needs. \n\nI hesitated to write a glowing review, as selfishly want to keep this spot to my self. But I highly recommend Mino's for a peaceful, delicious sushi outing. (And BYOB)", "A few guys and myself make sure we get to this place once a month. We love everything about it! The food is fantastic, they have some of the best rolls to offer and their specials are excellent. Every time we come in we get treated famously by the staff. We tell everyone about his place and will continue to visit as often as possible. Oh yeah BYOB too, cannot beat it. If you are a sushi lover than this is your new spot for sure. \n\nThanks for providing a great experience, we always look forward to eating here.\n\nRick Hlavacek and the Mushi Crew", "Mino is gone! :'(\n\nEvidently Mino sold out, retired, and has left PA. All Mino's personal things are gone, and an entire new crew is in charge.\n\nUnknown how the new crew will fare. Went Saturday night and it was confusing. Not bad, just confused. Food was good, but menu was effectively unchanged. I suspect the menu, prices, and decor will change in the coming weeks.", "We were the only one in the restaurant and took 30+minutes. My son ordered all you can eat and he didn't get anything until after we received a partial boat which was missing rolls and then they were both deep fried! His second order came quicker but no wasabi, ginger or presentation PLEASE pass on this place under new management. Cannot imagine what they would do with a few tables since they couldn't handle one-yikes!!", "We have been to Mino several times in the past few months. In fact, we are now pretty much regulars. Having had Sushi at similar places up and down the Main Line, this is now our go to place. It is a family run business that does not disappoint. \n\nThe service is great but most importantly is the solid quality of the ingredients. We have ordered a series of rolls for dinner, Sushi for two, and the all you can eat Sushi. The quality has been consistent on all of these visits. Our favorites include the White Tuna Salad, Spicy Salmon Crunch Roll, and the Green Tea Ice Cream. \n\nThe All you Can Eat Sushi is a great deal. It includes Appetizers, Sushi, Sashimi, and Desserts. \n\nThe restaurant is small and can fill up quickly. It is a BYO and they will heat up your Sake for you." ]

[ "best italian restaurant in new jersey - hands down!", "In my opinion, this is by far the best restaurant on Haddon Ave. The martini list is a mile long, the newly renovated bar is really classy, service is always wonderful and the food is consistently fantastic. \n\nI've probably gotten crab cakes 90% of the time I have eaten here, and they are always fresh and made with big chunks of crab meat. Portion sizes are on the very large side. You will never leave here hungry, and if you do, I would suggest a Lap-Band. Seriously. \n\nAll desserts are homemade and brought around on a large tray so you have to physically look at them before you decide. It kind of breaks my heart a little on the days that I pass and just have a coffee instead, because my head is screaming \"GIVE ME THOSE THREE ON THE UPPER RIGHT!!!!!!!\" However, if I'm here for a special occasion, I'm always down for splitting something sweet!", "Scrumptious Food! Awesome Owners, Waiters, Waitresses! Perfect Atmosphere - fun & lively every time! I have been here a hundred and one times....every single time it was to die for....love, love, love this restaurant - absolutely THE BEST in South Jersey.", "In My opinion, the absolute best Italian food in South Jersey. Was a fan at the former location on Station Ave. In Haddon Heights, Now (Anthony's). Great food. Stay a while. Calamari is cooked to perfection. Never Rushed! Service is Excellent! Try the Pesci Del Giorno. Fish of the day Cooked the way you like with toppings of your choice. I prefer the shitake mushrooms with clams & olive oil, crab meat & scallops.", "This is one of the best restaurants/bars in South Jersey. The food is always amazing as are the special martinis. I strongly recommend any of the raw bar items, The Sam's Cut Filet, and the Eggplant Florentine. Drinkwise, you can never go wrong with their espresso martinis.\n\nI generally sit at the bar, even when I get food, so I can really only speak to the bar service, which is always great. Heidi, Jerry and Michelle are always great.\n\nUPDATE: I just tried the soft shell crab special the other day, and IT WAS AMAZING!! If you ever see it on the menu, get it! A lightly battered, perfectly fried, big meaty soft shell crab served over fresh Florida corn. YUM!", "After moving to New Jersey, this place was one of my first 'lucky finds'. For over five years now I have been dining here, both in the formal dining room and at the bar, and I have never had to send anything back. That says a lot people, as those of you who know me and follow my reviews will agree. \n\nNew Italian based cuisine, the menu is updated about every other week with new season items moving on and off. Current highlights include the new entry of Sam's Slamming Italian Nachos. A wonderful large portion of in-house made tortilla chips smothered in roasted red peppers, sausage, grilled chicken, fried onions, and various luscious Aioli drizzles. The perfect nibble to be shared with others or secretly scarfed down alone. The new GBurger is also a great addition to the lunch and bar menu, providing a delicious quick bite when time is tight.\nMy personal favorite is the raw seafood plate. A huge portion of raw oysters, clams, perfectly cooked shrimp, and jumbo crab. In years past on days off my friends and I would split this as we sipped ice cold Peroni draft at the bar. Just. Perfect.\n\nI'll finish today with a note on the espresso martini's here. The best I've ever had, made with fresh espresso and love (yes, you can taste the love, trust me), these go down dangerously fast. No night is complete without one.", "we ate dinner here last night. i had never been here before and my fiance has been talking about it probably for the past year or so. we sat outside on the patio since it was a gorgeous day. the starter breads were very good. one of the breads was a toasted cheese something or other, and the other was a simple sesame bread that came with sweet butter. we got the spicy calamari to start. it was beautifully fried (not too heavy on the batter and not overcooked as is often the case with calamari). the flavor seemed almost asian, because of the spicy red pepper, green onion, and lemon. i had to stop myself from eating it. we each got salads with our meal - my fiance got caesar and i got the house salad. even the house balsamic dressing was really tasty. for our entrees, my fiance had the veal rosa and i got the seafood cannelloni. anything in a rose sauce is delicious, but these meals were phenomenal. we didn't have room to even look at the dessert menu. i'm sure there was creme brulee on there... my weakness.\n\ni'd definitely go back here. \n\nmy only reservation is the complimentary valet parking. it's weird. there is a large parking lot next to and behind the restaurant. there really is no need for valet parking. it's not like it's in the city where you have to hunt down parking and potentially walk for a few blocks. complimentary services like this make me uncomfortable. it basically forces you to shell out tip money for something you didn't ask for.", "05/26/09\nTonight they added a soft shell crab to the menu that my guest pretty much licked the plate for. I had the clam and crabmeat happy hour special. Sorry for the dark pic. For $13 you get ~15 littlenecks and a heaping handfull of jumbo lump crabmeat in either a red or white sauce. My friends and I swear these guys own a crabmeat farm with all the crab they use on the various dishes. Neither the white or red sauce should be taken lightly, and both are delicious. The red sauce comes spiced up with small dried italian peppers that look like cayenne's but have a richer flavor and a milder heat. (Still will get a sweat going!) The white sauce comes loaded with enough garlic to immediately reduce blood pressure/cholesterol/dating opportunities. Make sure you share with your date to prevent awkward breath issues later. Rumors are ribs come back on the menu tomorrow. May require some take out!!\n\n05/09/09\nOh how suck that you can only post one update! Ok, this will be a running update then, as I go here a lot and it's my intent to keep you updated on the food happenings here. Sam's oyster flight came online yesterday as promised and was as delicious as expected. Two each of cape may salts, kumomotos, and blue points ($16). The cape may salts were sweet as candy. Yum! Rumors of oyster shooters are on the horizon. Thank G-d for local cabbies if that happens! \n\nI also wanted to point out just how much fun the people that go here are. I've met some really greatpeople here and had some fantastic conversations. I think having a great space, a great crowd, and great food truly defines five stars to me, and I only wich I could make them blink! I'll just keep them spare in my reviews so you'll know if I give it a fiver, you know it's worth the trip!\n\nThey're open Mother's Day from 3-8 (not normally open Sunday, so book quickly and treat Mom right!)\n\n05/08/09\nPopped in yesterday and tried the new buffalo shrimp. Excellent colossal shrimp, lightly breaded, then bathed in a great hot sauce that has kick, but won't leave you gasping for breath. Chef Sam notes it's a touch of honey that keeps that fire under control, and my guest and I liked it a lot! The carrot and beet frisee that accompanied the dish was a fun garnish and delicious as well.\n\nChef Sam let on that tonight (and hopefully tomorrow as well) they are doing an oyster flight with their always super fresh blue points, cape may salts, and kumomotos! Yum! I'll be there with Peroni in hand waiting for those Cape May Salts!\n\nWe had the nachos again as well, and the recipe has been tweaked one more time, now with larger pieces of chicken and chorizo. So large, in fact, I picked up what I thought was a chip and it turned out to be grilled chicken. Now that's a slamming plate of nachos!", "I just ate the best meal I have had in a very long time.\n\nMy fiance and I had a reservation, and though we arrived about 10 minutes early, we were seated promptly. Our waitress recited the many specials, took our drink orders, and started us off with a basket of delicious breads and a crock of yummy marinated peppers. We both decided to order from the specials list.\n\nMy date ordered the filet mignon and crabcake surf and turf. He has ordered this before, but it was served differently this time. The crabcake was finished with a sweet corn sauce, which pretty much tasted like the best corn chowder you have ever tasted. The filet was cooked perfectly as requested, and was served with a side of demi glace.\n\nI was feeling indulgent and ordered the veal and lobster francese. The whole thing was perfectly seasoned, tender (I was able to cut it with a butter knife) and topped with a handful of jumbo lumps of crab. A slight digression: my dad is from New England, and I have eaten lobster pretty regularly my whole life. My dad does an expert job steaming the live lobsters, but I have never understood why so many restaurants choose to serve the tough tail meat when the claw meat is so much better. Tonight at Giumarello's, I learned why. I don't know what they did to it, but this lobster tail melted in my mouth. In fact, just thinking about it makes me want to dig into my leftovers!\n\nWhen the dessert tray came around, we were both full but unable to pass. We ordered the caramel creme brulee, figuring we'd each take a couple spoonfulls and be done with it. But when we cracked into that burned sugar only to discover that the custard was warm and flecked with vanilla beans... well... let's just say the only thing left in the dish was the strawberry garnish.", "So the menu is getting ready to flip to fall, run in now and try the tomato bisque. A handful of crab with the velvety thick fresh jersey tomato bisque lovingly labeled on top, complimented with a chopped fresh basil leaf grown right on the patio! That same basil goes into the limited engagement caprice salad, artfully presented and as lovely to look at as delicious to eat.\n\nThe new tent seating is great, with the plasma TV and fire pit a perfect addition for the fall and a great place to watch the game versus in a stuffy bar.\n\nIf you ask nicely, the bartender may let you try a shot of Shiela's new Chocolate-cello. Imagine drinking chilled boozy fantastically rich chocolate pudding shots while unicorn ponies kiss your cheeks. OK, the ponies may be a stretch, but not much of one, check it out and see!" ]

I've always driven by, been curious, but never stopped. \nOur waitress was happy and friendly and only too willing to make suggestions and during our meal carried on friendly banter with local regulars. She practically insisted we have both rolls and cornbread. Dotson's make a great meat and three meal. My chicken and dressing was tasty, an unusual almost casserole creation. The creamed corn was sweet and delicious and my turnip greens were, again unusually for this kind of restaurant, not at all salty. \nI wished I could have sampled a dessert, but after this meal and cornbread and a roll, I just couldn't squeeze it in, but the lemon meringue pie looked large and marvelous. I shall have to try it next time.", "Dotson's Restaurant is one of the many southern style restaurants in Nashville. The food is pretty good and the servers are very friendly. Dotson's is known for their great sides like the creamed corn. The creamed corn was really good and exceptionally buttery! I had a side of fried green tomatoes that were spectacular. They were cooked in the traditional southern fashion, meaning a great buttery breaded crust. On a recommendation from the waitress, I ordered the pecan pie. Yum, super sugary and definitely home made!", "Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought I'd be missing Dotson's. Oh, but I do... and how! If you want real, down-home, meat 'n' three, Southern style cooking... go here. To say they \"keep it real\" would be an understatement. The building itself kind of leans a little bit... don't worry about it. Don't be surprised if you see a celebrity or two keeping a low profile in this place. (Keith Urban was there the last time my dad ate here.) The waitresses will probably call you darlin' or honey; they'll be sure to put a fresh pot of coffee on for you, and they'll want \"ya'll to come on back.\" Get the fried catfish and mashed potatoes... and the cornbread and biscuits.", "We were recommended to this place by a local because we wanted REAL down home southern cooking. We had to second guess ourselves when we got there because the restaurant was in a trailer. After stepping inside, we were instantly reassured by the approval autographs of Martha Stewart, as well as Leanne Rimes and dozens of other famous people who have come to this place. \n\nMeat and 3 is the best bet because you get a little bit of everything. Creamed corn was delicious. I absolutely recommend the FRIED CHICKEN. Mac and cheese was more mac than cheese. .. We finished it off with a slice of homemade pie. The prices are very reasonable. Everything was really good and it gave you that homemade with love kind of feeling after you finished.", "This place is always packed. The parking lot is always full and usually a long wait. But, I have to say it's not my favorite meat & three. The mac and cheese was okay, but I've had better. The cornbread was very dry. I liked the baked chicken quite a bit though. The pecan pie was burnt and yucky. The service was pretty good though. The bathroom was really dirty though.", "I love fried chicken.\nI love sweet tea.\nI love turnip greens.\n\nI like Dotson's. Just 'like'.\n\nBeing a Southern ex-pat I miss good food now that I live in Brooklyn.\n\nSo when in Nashville for work I was beyond pumped to hit as many meat & 3's as I could. Due to scheduling and actually having to work while down there I was only able to make a trip to one on a Monday afternoon. I had heard the Swett's and Arnold's were the very best but I really didn't want to do cafeteria style. I wanted to find some out of the way place with booths and 80 year old regulars and super sweet mother-like waitresses. I should've done cafeteria style.\n\nI loved the vibe of the restaurant; not nearly dilapidated but not at all new. It had great simple warmth to it. And the waitresses did not disappoint. I was bombarded with \"sweeties' and \"babies\" the whole time. Now if she was only hot.\n\nI ordered a classic meat & 3 combo: fried chicken (white meat), mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, turnip greens, biscuits and a sweet tea. This order even elicited a \"There you go baby!!\" from the waitress.\n\nThe tea was perfect. The turnip greens were tasty with good amounts of vinegar. That's really the only thing that made me happy. The mac and cheese was runny, it wasn't baked as I had hoped for. The chicken had a really crispy, oily crust. Not well seasoned at all. It wasn't awful but I didn't taste any love in it. That's what I need when I eat good southern food.\n\nIt was kind of a bust. I should've gone to Swett's.\n\nIdiot.", "fried chicken, sweet potato casserole, and one of these days i'm going to try their meringue pies", "I love the fried chicken and the chocolate pie is awesome.

We don't eat much Greek food, and there were no reviews, so we were a little nervous. We needn't have worried - we got the combo kabobs and lamb gyros, and they were delicious! We also got an order of Falafel which was good, but we didn't care for the sauce that came with it. I think that's the only complaint we had. Delivery was fast, (even on a Friday night), and the delivery guy was very courteous. They forgot something we ordered, and we called and told them to just credit us next time because we are definitely ordering from here again. They brought it anyway within minutes. All in all, a delicious Mediterranean meal!!", "Got a menu from the Green Olive Café the other day left on my doorstep, and this evening after an exhausting day thought - let's check it out. The main menu suggested Middle Eastern/Moroccan fare with appetizers that are a global hodgepodge or perhaps just kid friendly. The woman taking our delivery order was just delightful. Sometimes when ordering you can feel rushed, but she answered questions and offered me the available side options. My husband is a big lamb fan and so he ordered the lamb gyro, which he thought was tasty; however a bit lite on the lamb. His French fries were wonderful - well seasoned, crispy and still hot upon arrival. Their vegetarian sandwiches and entrée options are limited - falafel or vegetable couscous was it, so I opted to get two appetizers as I was not felling like either. The Baba Ghanouj was very tasty and tangy, but the pita it was served with was that cardboard like store variety and did nothing to add to the enjoyment of the dip. The gyro bread was much more appealing texturally and next time I will ask for that to be substituted for the pita. Second appetizer was the Green Olive quesadilla, a combination of green peppers, onions, zucchini and cheese. It was good, but it was combo of the harissa (I think harissa, but was milder than most I have had) and sour cream accompanying it which really enhanced it. I would love to have had more creative Middle Eastern/Moroccan vegetarian options on the menu.\n \nBottom line - We were not blown away, but we liked the Green Olive Café and will probably order from there again next time trying the one vegetarian entrée and one of the lamb dishes. The delivery was very quick, delivery person very friendly and the price about $20.", "just noticed this new spot opened in my neighborhood and decided to try it last night as i love middle eastern food. the owner/waitress was friendly and helpful. we ended up ordering falafel and hummus and the lamb couscous. the falafel was amazing and moist (i find many places in philly have dry falafel) and the hummus was delicious. the lamb couscous was out of this world. the lamb was so soft it fell apart just by touching it with a fork! the vegetables in the couscous were perfectly cooked and seasoned. we were upset we couldn't finish it all (although i just ate the leftovers for lunch). i feel like this will definitely be my go-to this summer.\n\nas for the place itself, it's a byo which i always love. downstairs there is a morrocan room with couches, cushions and hookah as well as a pool table. did i mention it's a byo? definitely get there!", "This is by far one of the best Middle Eastern restaurant I've dined in South Philly.

Highly recommended.", "We've ordered from this place a couple of times, and stopped in to pick up once. The food is always incredibly fresh and delivery is fast. \n\nThe chicken shawarma is amazing. I have a hard time not getting it each time we order. We've had the gyros and the falafel as well, each is fantastic. The sandwiches are flavorful and have the right amount of sauce and bread. The fries are plentiful - be ready to share - and crispy. The spinach pie was luxurious, like it's supposed to be. \n\nThe menu is limited, but that means they're not trying to do things they're not good at. If you dine in or pick up, they have awesome beverages. Also, I haven't been down there, but am intrigued by the promise of game tables downstairs.", "Pleasant interior, warm and welcoming proprietress. This place offers some nice alternatives to the usual neighborhoid fare. The green salad, a diced cucumber and tomatoe mix, was fresh and wonderfully seasoned. A soup offered gratis had a hearty, complex broth that would be great on a winters day. The vegetable cous cous was flavorful and loaded with cabbage, potatoes, carrots, etc. I look forward to trying their kabobs, Rabbit, and sandwiches.", "Very friendly service and well-made dishes, with very fresh ingredients. We started off with hummus and toasted pita. The hummus was freshly made, topped with olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika, and a perfect consistency - neither too grainy nor too pasty. After that came the grape leaves appetizer. I've had a lot of rice dolmas that were too heavy on the lemon, but these had just enough acidity to bring out the flavor of the other ingredients and surrounding leaves. Our entree was the lamb shawarma over rice - delicious, savory, and filling. Coffee was excellent as well, made in the North African style.", "I was looking for good food in South Philly for dinner before concert at Wells Fargo. Green Olive received some good reviews and I like this style of food so my group decided to try it. The atmosphere is very casual/little character, but the food and service made up for all of that.

[ "I wonder why the wording is listed weird for this business. I'm pretty sure it's \"The Basque Market\" not \"Basque the Market.\" Anyway...\n\nI'm in Boise for the week and I was wandering around downtown today killing time while B was at work. I ducked into this little shop in search of some reprieve from this relentless heat and the scorching sun (my scalp is so sunburned! it will fall off tomorrow...). It was dark and cool inside, and I was immediately greeted by a friendly man. Coolgirl was working the deli counter when I approached to look at the menu. A crisp white wine seemed like great idea so I asked about the house. Well, coolgirl gave me a sample of the house white and of the other whites they carried and discussed them with me. Very cool, hence, the title. I decided to go for the New Age White. It was very bright, clean, and easy to drink. The citrusiness (ok, so that's probably not a real word) and slight effervescence--think vinho verde--balanced out the sweetness. I got strong floral and peachy notes with a touch of honey. It was served over ice with fresh lime. Very refreshing.\n\nWith cool cocktail in hand and teetering back from the brink of heatstroke, I perused the shelves of exotic basque treats. They had some interesting stuff I had not seen before (tinned octopus! and snails stewed in tomato sauce--had to get that one) and some nice Spanish wines. I wanted to pick up one of everything, but the thought of lugging around a sackful of canned goods and bottles of wine in the heat didn't appeal to me. I noticed that some of the items were past their freshness dates, which is a sad thing to see at small specialty stores. People need to buy more goodies from these places so that can stay in business!\n\nIn my exhausted (been moving all weekend--packing, loading, uhauling across multiple states, unloading, reloading due to last minute apartment change at destination, and unloading again...) and dehydrated state, the wine affected me quite quickly and I got a bit chatty.

The staff there actually split them for us - at no charge. Both of us ate lunch for $12 - what a DEAL! It was delicious and with some bites I felt as if I were sitting at an outdoor cafe in Spain. The potato salad, specifically, tasted of Spain. The rice pudding was creamy and the added dusting of the cinnamon lauburu was a nice touch. Their red pepper aioli on the turkey sandwich added a perfect depth of flavor to what could have been a standard turkey sandwich. \n\nWe added some croquetas from the nearby Bar Gernika and had a lovely lunch. At these prices, the wonderful outdoor patio and the delicious food, I don't see how you can go wrong here.", "We have now been to the Basque Market twice both times attending classes. The soup class was a good class, the soups were quite yummy. This last time we attended the paella class which was a blast. Of course the paella and wine were delicious but I feel the best part is the experience. \nThey offer quite a few bottles of nice wine, you can get some meats and other lovely bits for tapas. Or head over just to enjoy someone else's cooking and a glass of wine.\nIf you can, take the time and attend a class because it is a great experience and plus you are fed a lovely meal while enjoying a few samples of wine.", "This is one of my favorite places to have a quick lunch in the summer. You can get a selection of tapas or their lunch special which is a small sandwich, soup or salad, and a dessert. Everything they make is excellent. They also have a great frozen sangria that is soooo good in the summer. I like going for an early lunch and sitting outside on their little patio -- very relaxing. The people who work here are always friendly and it's very informal. You order your lunch at the counter and then grab a table either inside or outside and enjoy.", "My company has the Basque Market cater many of our events and they never fail to please. Their tapas are always delicious and enjoyed by everyone. The frozen sangrias are also yummy but very dangerous!", "Wonderful food, authentic tapas, great drinks.

[ "This place is a pain in my behind. I dont think I've ever been in here when there weren't about 100 tiny children SCREAMING at the top of their lungs and holding 8-10 helium balloons each. It's more than slightly terrifying, and the food isn't great, so there's nothing to make up for it. \n\nI only give it two stars because late at night, when the children are in bed, the bar is a fairly fun place to hang out in (comparitively speaking - this is of course Wayne, PA) - and I once had a hilarious night here that involved a stolen dessert tray, 50 shots of randomness, and a $700 bill that we stuck on my friend Kit (which wasn't hilarious the next day, let me tell you).\n\nBut really, unless you absolutely are dying to be cried on, spit on, and have your ear drums BURST because of high pitch yells, I suggest you go elsewhere.", "So, I'm updating my review on this one. As you will know from Lori's review, we recently decided to stop by on a Sunday night as opposed to our previously typical Wednesdays.\n\nI have to say that the food here is really good compared to other late-night options. And that's important. Actually, the fact that there even is a late-night option other than Manilla's is kinda impressive. Go Wayne!\n\nWe had very disappointing service on our last return. Our waiter never showed up. One of the bus boys took our drink order and then tracked down our waiter who was standing in the bar (which I'm pretty positive he's too young to be in anyway, but I guess 18 is the minimum age to serve). I had the Pear-tini and it was decidedly tasteless. I mean, it didn't really even taste like Vodka. I'm guessing it was just green water with a splash of Vodka. Either that or it sat long enough for the alcohol to evaporate.\n\nWe weren't given water when we first sat down. I had to ask the hostess to get us some water between shifts of wandering between the kitchen and the front. I also had to ask her for some bread for the table. And separately I had to ask her for some olive oil.\n\nOne thing that I saw that really bothered me was one of the waiters talking on his cell phone. There were two tables waiting for a \"hello\" and this guy is on his cell phone? In the dining area? Whatever!\n\nI will probably go back to Christopher's. However, I can promise I won't be going on a weekend and I won't be going for the service.", "It is with great sorrow that this review is written. Christopher's was a great place for Sam and I to go after tango on Wednesdays. We joked that we were becoming regulars...but we liked the idea. The food was consistent, the service acceptable and their Wednesday wine special was perfect timing for our schedule.\n\nWith our Wednesday night commitment in Wayne a thing of the past...we decided to take the drive from Media to Christopher's last night (in the rain) for the sake of the good ole days. The server who used to say \"got it\" all the time was now dressed in the garb of management and the staff huddled around the kitchen doing nothing much.\n\nBe it the peter principle at work or simply a bad night for the place...Sam and I contemplated walking out after sitting with menus for over 10 minutes with no one to greet us. The manager walked by 3 times and never once noticed our empty table and folded menus. (He was an attentive, capable server before.) Eventually someone came by and asked \"Has your server been here?\" Well, of course not, we don't even know who our server is. The person who was not our server took a drink order...and then we were left alone again.\n\nWhen our drinks arrived with our assigned and previously missing server, he put them on the table and said \"Are you all ready?\" Yes, in fact I was ready to tell him how little I thought of him, that he should be ashamed to call himself a server and had he learned not an ounce of social skill simply from being human? (I held my tongue, not wanting to act as old as I was feeling at that moment.) But really, he was rude, gruff and not at all apologetic for his tardiness. In fact, he seemed annoyed we were there.\n\nHe took our order. No water, no bread, no further contact ensued. Sam's drink was not to his liking...but there was no one to talk to about it. The \"got it\" manager looked scared of making contact with anyone, even his staff as they freely did what they pleased: nothing.\n\nHow can you run a restaurant and not have the desire, ability and sense to take note of each table in the place? To anticipate the needs of your customers, to note the stages of dining, how attentive are your servers being. There is no excuse for bad service when more than half the staff is standing chatting (on their cell phones) doing nothing to contribute to the success of the restaurant.\n\nNeedless to say, I think our love affair with Christopher's came to grinding halt last night. We left disappointed and saddened by the loss. We are sure our hand written comment card was discarded...why would a server pass on such information? Why would a new manager risk letting his boss see the comment?\n\nAnd we really like their cobia special. It is the best bargain on the menu. Crab and scallion risotto, grilled scallions on top, a mild, flavorful grilled cobia fish on top. I can still recommend that...but perhaps take-out is a better option.", "I like the food here. I like the bar here. It is for sure more geared towards Mommy and me play-groups. But if you can tune that out then you are golden. \nI like that Wayne has become a good meeting ground for suburbanites from all over. It is funny to see all of the LL Bean colors and plaids in full force.", "If you are a doctor/lawyer-supported soccer Mom who can't control your children in public, this is the place for you. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, but the numbers of \"underparented\" kids that frequent this place is extreme. Think upscale Chucky Cheese without entertainments for the kids. The menu caters to the kiddies. The more adult selections are OK, but forgettable. It gets the second star because it is open late, the food is acceptable and God-bless the staff there for putting up with kids who's parents don't do their duty and teach the kids to behave in public.", "Christopher's, on most nights of the week, is the restaurant equivalent of spending 2 hours at the tot lot from hell while simultaneously flushing money down the toilet. In fact, if you asked for the 35 dollars in one dollar bills that it costs for 2 people to eat average-tasting food, you would probably enjoy yourself more by flushing them one by one. \n\nAllow me to elaborate...\n\nDuring my visit, my friend and I were squeezed at a deuce (a table for two, for those of you unfamiliar with restaurant terms) behind the hostess stand. Seated behind me was a man of such hefty girth that I was allotted approximately 2 inches of room to move around. Next to us was a proverbial zoo of kindergarden ages hellions who kept whacking their yellow balloons into our entrees. Also, because Christopher's is essentially one giant open room, every table's conversation echoed louder than ours and I had a hard time hearing what my friend was saying. \n\nWhen the bacon cheeseburger that I ordered arrived, it took the waitress about 10 minutes to locate me some ketchup. My 9 dollar cheeseburger had essentially no flavor, even WITH the bacon, and instead of fries they gave me chips. This is dinner, people. I shouldn't have to pay an extra 2 dollars for a handful of fries on the DINNER menu. Lunch I could understand. \n\nThe only people that should ever spend money at Christophers and expect a relaxing time are the deaf, blind, extremely patient or those that themselves contribute to the zoo of children in the restaurant every night.", "I really like Christopher's. I've been there many times, but only for lunch. Every time, my experience is the same. The place is full with children (which I still don't get) and the servers are slow. But, the food is really satisfying. \n\nYesterday, I got their BBQ chicken wrap. It came to the table piping hot and delicious. The mixture of Spanish rice with the sweetness of the BBQ sauce made it hard to put down. \n\nOne day I'll have to try it for dinner; I just hope I'm not disappointed.", "It surprises me that people are so alarmed by Christopher customers and their children. If you're not a fan of sharing a restaurant with children, try dining on the later side you'll enjoy it more. Anyway, I've really enjoyed coming to Christopher's. I've mostly come on Monday nights around 10pm. The bartender always remembers a face even if it's been 6 months. \n\nThe space is split into two sides bar and restaurant. One of the last times I was there were 19 of us in a giant herd. They were great about letting us sit in the restaurant section even though it was well past the dinner rush. The bar area has a modern \"jukebox\" and one of those game machines. I think I'm partly lured here because of Photo Hunt competitions with my friends. \n\nOne of my favorite things about Christopher's is the Dum Dum lolly pops. Sometimes the waiters will hide the bowl of lolly pops if people get too greedy aka when people take hand fulls.", "I have seen other reviews calling this place \"the tot lot from hell,\" and a place for \"doctor/lawyer supported soccer moms who can't control their kids\" and that makes me SO GLAD that I went there late. In Wayne I have often experienced poorly behaved children and that definitely ruins my meal/movie/shopping trip/etc. \n\nWe arrived around 9:45 pm on a Saturday and the place was pretty empty. We were seated immediately and our waitress was polite and attentive. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. While the menu selection isn't the greatest, my boyfriend and I both managed to find something delicious! I will most definitely return, but not during the hours that kids may be there!", "My boyfriend and I used to go here once in awhile, but always had the same experience. Unruly, undisciplined children running wild all over this place! Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate children. I just lose my patience with parents who don't take the time to teach their little ones how to behave when they're in public. I know some would recommend coming here later. Well how about parents either taking control over their kids, getting a sitter, or going to Chuck E Cheese or some other family oriented restaurant? When you dine out, you're not just paying for food and drink, it's the ambience as well. I didn't sign up for a romper room. This place serves alcohol...unless they need a drink to put up with the whining and screaming, I don't think this is the type of environment for tots. Okay, now that's out of my system...let's get down to business. The menu isn't vast, but the food is satisfying. The service can be hit or miss (the servers are probably too busy trying to avoid dropping piles of plates on children running between their legs). The noise level gets a little loud so it's not a spot for an intimate conversation. If your a parent or a lover of naughty kids, here's your haven. For everyone else, look elsewhere." ]

We haven't found it yet, but there are many better than China Garden.\n\nWe should have stopped after the teriyaki beef which was pretty good. A bit more sauce would have been nice, but the meat was good. The fried rice was flavorless and very overdone. The orange chicken was inedible. There was an odd fishy smell to the large globs of breading covering a tiny bit of tough chicken. Even the chicken rice soup was bad.", "Some undeserved hate for this place (seriously dude,one star because of a delivery driver when you actually enjoyed the food?)\n\nTheir food is awesome-sesame tofu is super tasty, and their general tso's is gold. They jam pack the house lo mein and mei fun with meat and seafood, and every is flavored perfectly.

However, when I first moved to the neighborhood, I desperately searched for a decent Chinese place; I think I tried every joint in a 10 block radius! This is by far the best. \n\nThe staples are all here. I've tried most of them over the course of the nearly 2 years I've been ordering from this place. They're all above average; none have been truly bad. Some of the more unique offerings like the cold sesame noodles and the Sichuan fried wontons are my favorites! \n\nIs it the best Chinese delivery/take out food I've ever had? No - but it is, by far, the best in the neighborhood.\n\nP.s. - Never had a problem with delivery; it's always been on time. And the waitress is very friendly if you opt for take out.", "My experience with China Garden's delivery was less than stellar. Got a call from GrubHub after an hour stating the delivery guy showed up to my house and said I didn't order food. Wrong answer. Shortly after the guy came back and explained he attempted to deliver to the house across the way...kind of odd seeing as my house number is LARGE and has never been an issue for any other delivery guy. Long story short China Garden's delivery drivers need to learn their numbers.\n\nWas a bit concerned food would be spoiled since it was out for a while but it was worth the wait and annoyance. Ordered a dish of shrimp and chicken. Fantastic. Wasn't as spicy as I like but that's why I keep 12 bottles of Sriracha on hand. I'd order from these guys again but probably dine in.", "Banging dumplings!! Fresh, house made delicious banging dumplings!! Thank you China garden!!!", "Cheap and fast Chinese food. Never had a problem. Love their singapore noodles & egg rolls.", "Here now getting some take out. Food is always consistently good. I always get the General Tso Chicken.", "Dumplings were awesome, ribs were delicious, general chicken was so so. I'd crush some more dumplings in a heartbeat.", "It is sold Chinese take out. Best no worst no ok yes.", "Best Chinese delivery I've had in years. Everything was hot and fresh. Delivery was super fast.

It's going to be a great neighborhood bar!", "Consistent, really good comfort food at a really inexpensive price. The are in the middle of remodeling so I really can't wait to see this place mature.

I hear that may be in the works.", "My family and I recently stopped by for lunch. The food was excellent. We had two of their burgers and two kids meals.

I look forward to many more visits.", "Friendly staff, reasonably priced food, good beer options and the feel of a small town place... what more can you ask for.\nStopped by for a quick lunch Dee was friendly and welcoming.

The waitress was very sweet.\n Cons: karaoke on Sunday a lot of the crown seems to be leftovers from the previous bar, which makes for an interesting clientele. The food took FOREVER to come out! Like 35-40 mins and there were only like 5 tables of people, most of which already had their food. The waitress/bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed since she was the only person working until we were almost done and then another guy (I think the owner) showed up.\nConclusion: they need to work on the atmosphere. If you want to do karaoke, maybe move it out of the small dining room into the game room or something. Have a little more backup in the front and back of house.

I had Curry Tofu Noodle dish was not too spicy and full of flavor. They are just getting open so it's still looking a little unfinished but the food was really great. They are currently only open until 6pm.", "Pure Kitchen, located in the same plaza as Soho Sushi (across from Fox News), offers organic and vegan meals and desserts for home/office delivery, catering and also grab-n-go. Kyoko, the Japanese chef/owner, and her other chef greeted me as I came in. They were working on their menu for the coming week. I got a sneak peek at it and they have a lot of great dishes to come. Each week they have different offerings, many of which are Asian-inspired.. Until they have their website up and running, you can join their email list and follow them on Instagram and Facebook, where they have great pictures. \n\nI stopped in twice already during their soft opening this week. I'm not vegan and never will be but after trying the food here, I will definitely sprinkle in some vegan meals from here from time to time. \n\nLet's start with dessert because that's what I took home on my first visit...lemon strawberry chia pudding, pina colada chia pudding and the wine poached pear agar jelly, which is a top seller. I didn't know what to expect with any of these desserts but they sold me! The wine poached pear agar jelly is a Japanese-inspired dessert made with agar, a gelling agent derived from algae. Think of it as a fancy Jello. Interesting and I definitely recommend trying it. The chia puddings were also great. I could eat them every day. If I had to choose just one, I would take the pina colada flavor because I think the pineapple and coconut flavors are stronger than the lemon and strawberry. But you can't go wrong with any of these desserts. \n\nI was very excited and told my vegetarian coworker that we should try them for lunch. We both grabbed Kyoko's version of pad thai, which was made that morning. We returned to the office with our meals. I took one bite and immediately asked my coworker her opinion. She said it was AMAZING! I'm not of a fan of that word because it's so overused. But I agree. It was EXCELLENT! Seriously good. Don't expect it to be like pad thai at a Thai restaurant. But that's a good thing. It's light and fresh like a salad. The sauce has a little kick, so much flavor. The herbs and veggies very fresh. Thin rice noodles. It was delicious. Putting it on the list of one of the best things I've had in 2017 (along with the loaded chili at Crack Chili food truck and bo luc lac at Singha Thai Viet, to name a couple more). My coworker also got the coconut \"bacon\" which she thought was delicious. I tried a bite and thought it was interesting. Coconut, granola, salt, and some other ingredient that made it taste meaty without there actually being meat in it. What kind of sorcery is this?! Impressive!\n\nKyoko is truly an artist in the kitchen. Looking forward to trying more of her creations, such as the cashew corn soup and the mac and cheese (\"cheese\" made of cashew). The prices are very reasonable. Each of the desserts I tried were $4. The pad thai was $10. Though there wasn't much protein, because of the great flavor, I thought the price was fair. The place itself is very small. Again, it's just grab-n-go with a couple coolers stocked with various items. There are 4 bar stools if you wanted to eat there. Most people that came in were coming to pick up items they called in for. Check them out on Facebook and visit soon when they are fully up and running!", "Stepped in for lunch on a whim and definitely did not regret. They're predominately a grab-and-go place but my colleague and I walked in while they were preparing new food and grabbed some hot meals. I picked up a jerk fried rice made with tofu that was a little meatier in flavour than my typical taste but my omnivorous friend loved it. I also had a coconut curry with black-eyed peas that was sumptuous. For dessert, we grabbed some coconut sweets that were soft, chewy and not too sugary. The portion sizes were also large enough that I have leftovers for dinner. I was very pleased with my purchase and will be returning again to see what else they have to offer.", "Kyoko (the owner and chef at Pure Kitchen) gets it. Despite what most people think, vegans like tasty food, unique recipes and fun ingredients beyond just lettuce and mushrooms (crazy, right?). Pure Kitchen fills a void and offers all of the above in a grab-and-go setting. The dishes are thoughtful and balanced, combining plant-based proteins, carbs, healthy fats and vegetables with flavor profiles that really make the ingredients stand out. Many (not all) of the dishes draw on Asian influences, although I hope this branches out in the future to other cuisines that aren't as naturally vegan-friendly (think Cajun, Portuguese, etc). Omnis will love the place too - it would be hard not to with the quality of the food!", "I went to the grand opening of Pure Kitchen and it was wonderful!

The place is simple and cozy but the food is anything but.

My chicken dish was a little bit dry but good flavor overall. Hubs had the pork dish, which sort of came in a broth-y soup bowl that made it a bit difficult to eat (this could be easily remedied by putting it in a low bowl instead, I think,) La Colombe baguette, homemade butter, and relaxed/cozy decor plus BYOB make this a good choice for a nice dinner out with friends or date night.

What more can you ask for?", "For those of you writing reviews on here complaining about loud music, drinks in Dixie cups, and bar food just missed the point. Tin roof is the place to go for bar food, music, and watching sports. If you want fine dining ambiance, go somewhere else. Two thumbs up to tin roof 2 and the staff. This is an excellent place to grab a drink, get some tasty wings, watch the game, and enjoy some music!", "Wait a second! The well healed people of Cool Springs don't need such good happy hour deals!! I cry foul! Example, the night I wondered in was Wednesday so $5 quesadilla and $2 on all draft! And I noticed a sign on the wall proclaiming, among other deals, that Sunday was $10 all you can eat wings! Yet another reason to skip church for the elite heathens of Brentwood! \n\nI was also treated to a good cover band, with a 10 year old drummer that kicked ... Um... booty ( keepin it clean for da kids)\n\nTin Roof 2 boasts an interesting layout with a balcony to view the band, wall to wall nick nacks and flat screens for sports. The food was good pub grub and even though the place was slammed we still received great service. \n\nEnjoy a great time and a good deal among the well healed!", "This place is a great, casual place to eat and have a drink while listening to some live music or watching a game. Been here a couple times. The live music was perfect for happy hour both times. Not over-whelming where you can't even hear yourself think. The crowd during happy hour was varied (20's - 40's). I've only had the queso dip and it was really good. Beer selection is okay and \"yes\" the drafts were served in plastic cups, but that isn't a deal breaker for me - actually kind of funny. The bar staff was good as well.", "As a cheap lunch place this isnt too bad. Nothing too special about the food, but it's a lunch spot that breaks up the monotony of subway, jersey mikes and the such. But you can tell the minute you walk in this is a place that people frequent in the evening and love because of the bar and social scene it exudes. Definitely a 20's to 30's crowd after 5pm...\n\nI was very impressed with our waitress's memory the first time I came here. We had 6 in our group and she didn't write a thing down and remembered every order despite everyone saying \"hold this, add that, put this on the side...\" and got the order perfect. I'll keep this as a lunch place. \n\nIf you order a side salad be sure to ask a lot of questions. These are not side salads that you're used to getting!" ]

[ "Was recently in Clearwater for business and toward the end of my trip, I really didn't feel like going out for dinner. The hotel clerk recommended Tan's as having \"pretty good\" Chinese food. I decided to take the chance and order up some food (and have it delivered).\n\nI ordered the Happy Family and some Crab Rangoon. It arrived right on time and far exceeded my expectation. There was enough food for two people! The Happy Family was full of shrimp, beef, scallops, pork and chicken... while there was broccoli and other vegetables in there, they weren't the predominant food group.\n\nThe crab rangoon were solid. I've had better before, but still tasted decent. (I subtracted one star for this).\n\nMy total bill came out to be $18.\n\nOverall, I would definitely recommend this place! I'm not sure what the restaurant itself looks like, but you can't beat delivery sometimes.", "Had house fried rice and kung pow chicken. About $18 fed my brother and I. I liked the rice the best but both were good. Not great inside the restaurant but not scary bad. Would do again.", "Everyone needs a reliable Chinese restaurant and tan's fits the bill when we're in Clearwater Beach. The food is fresh and well prepared. the prices are more than reasonable. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. You can eat there, take out or have them deliver.", "We went to this place for multiple reasons - it was close to our Hilton Resort, walking distance and it was Chinese food and we wanted some thing 'rice'. We were impressed by the Chinese decor of the place as well as the lady running the place who was very hospitable. Three of us ordered three entrees and it was enough for us to bring back half of each for another meal. The portions were very good. Since we do not eat pork the lady made us special spring rolls with no pork. The food was awesome. The best part was that the dinner special included soup, spring roll, main entree and fried rice - quite enough to fill us up with food left over. That was about 8-9$ per person before taxes.\n\nThe best part is their lunch menu in this expensive touristy place - each order from lunch special is less than 5$! We told the lady we will come back again, and we will in this very trip!\n\nOh yeah, take the tourist map - coupon to get another 10% discount on your check! Have fun!\n\nEdit: I went to this place a total of 7-8 times during this trip to Clearwater - because it was a great value for money and the food was simply awesome! Highly recommend!", "Ok ok enough with the fake reviews my Apruvam Paul and Steve. This WAS THE WORST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. I could go deep into a tirade filled diatribe about how bad it was. But I won't, I will just tell you. DO NOT EAT HERE.", "Considering that there are no other Chinese food places around here, this place is decent and cheap. It's a a small, hole in the wall, mom and pop kinda place. So don't take a date here unless you plan on staying single. \n\nLunch specials will set you back around $5!!!", "Tans has really good Chinese but the last time they delivered they put MSG on my food which almost freaking caused me to have a heart attack! Their menu even says No MSG! So I was a bit surprised as they have never done that before. Then like 2 nights later on our local ABC station, their dirty dining did a report on Tan's being inspected and having a bowl of MSG on the counter by the food. They told the inspector it was for the \"workers\" only. Yeah right. So be sure to say you do not want MSG or you might be surprised!!", "We order delivery from these guys about once a week. They prepare \"Dragon & Phoenix\" the best by far. so far of the restaurants we've tried in t past. Orders are always precise, and delivered in a timely manner.\n\nI could eat this stuff till it kills me. :)", "We ate here while staying overnight on a sailboat at the city marina down the street. We set out to eat at Frenchy's but they had a wait so we litteraly looked around from the sidewalk and spotted Tans. Not being from around here I looked to Yelp for reviews. It seemed good so we went for it. Glad we did. Food was very good as was the price and service. It's very quiet and not much to look at but it was good. A true hole in the wall but we would eat here again.", "Typical Chinese restaurant with affordable pricing in Clearwater Beach area. Small eating place. Friendly staff. It's hard to find location in the back of a small street accross from Cooter Restaurant. There almost never a waiting line unlike other restaurant around the area." ]

[ "Went on a Saturday around 11am for some breakfast because I heard that \"Steve's Cafe\" has amazing breakfast. I was soon informed by a server that Steve had left the cafe and now Terri owns it and that it was the first opening weekend for Terri's Cafe instead of Steve's. Congrats Terri! \n\nSimply put, this place is AMAZING. Although it was busy due to the Saturday crowd, we were seated immediately at the breakfast bar area. Here's the breakdown:\n\nPROS: Too many! First of all, when you order a drip coffee, they give you a BIG mug...none of those tiny 10 ounce cups you see at other places that leave you hoping that the waitress notices you need a refill every 5 minutes. Secondly, if you're not into coffee, DO order a hot chocolate or a peppermint hot chocolate...you will not regret it! \n\nThis place has the absolute BEST corned beef breakfast plate I've ever had in Boise! Quality meat that is perfectly flavored and doesn't have the fatty parts seen on other plates around Boise. The server informed me they slow cook it overnight. My wife scored the huckleberry stuffed french toast which was also delicious and quality. The woman next to me ordered the biscuits and gravy which she highly praised as well. \n\nCONS: None! Everything from the food to atmosphere and service were top notch. There were plenty of servers staffed and everyone was very friendly and helpful.\n\nSide Note: If you go during a busy time, the parking can be somewhat limited since the parking lot is shared with several other businesses (it's located in a strip mall). Also, expect to wait a little bit if you if you have 4 or more people. Although, the wait is definitely worth it!\n\n\nOverall, if you are craving a quality breakfast be sure to check out Terri's!", "Went to Terri's because its a nice place plus has fabulous coffee, its hard to find an eatery that has great coffee, we ordered coffee and lunch, for me a burger and hash browns, wife ordered eggs and hash browns. Something was wrong with my burger didn't taste good, I ate a few bites then went back to coffee. I asked my wife how her food was her eggs good but hash browns weren't crispy as requested not cooked long enough, we realized the food we ordered likely stocked frozen, my burger patty cooked around the edges but pink in the middle next time I'll emphasis 'well done'. You know most folk that come in this place aren't in a rush, Terri's a happy scene and l don't want to complain and send food back because of a dumb hamburger everybody's working hard I know. I'll go back because the coffee is fantastic but might order food not stored frozen like eggs, bacon, muffins, hot oatmeal. It's hard to find a restaurant that serves great coffee and I'll go back, and if the situation is for the guys in the back having to rush then getting the grill hotter might work since things they cook for breakfast and lunch could handle a really hot grill they promise good breakfast, sandwiches, salads, waffles, you know the basics its not French cuisine but if there is a decision needed between waiting longer for an order OR getting food out fast we'll nurse our great coffee and happily wait for it!", "Great people, Friendly atmosphere, only one problem. I asked for extra crispy hash browns and they couldn't have been more raw if they took them right out of the freezer and slapped them on the plate. The other items were perfect..so I will try again.", "Fabulous pancakes and coffee! Try the sausage varieties too. \nThe staff is so friendly--Amy is our favorite server. \n\nIt's a great place for breakfast and lunch.", "I go here during the week as the weekends can be crowded. They listen when you order and the food is prepared accordingly. One of the few places in town that can make an egg over easy and not come out medium. HINT: Once in awhile the crispy hash browns come out pasty white - I have since learned to ordered them crispy on both sides. Perfection!\n\nI hope Terri's will follow Steve's lead and offer the PORKIE. Hasn't happened yet. It's the only time I go there on weekend and then I go both Saturday AND Sunday. Yes, it is that good.\n\nKeeping my fingers crossed!\n\nps: I think they use Dawson Creek coffee - good stuff. Let's hope it doesn't change.", "I really like this restaurant. Normally I would give them a 4 at least. But this morning when I ordered my eggs over easy the whites came very runny and ran all over my plate. I did not eat them. I simply asked them to take them off of my bill. Someone (presumably a manager) came over to argue with me that I didn't know how to order my eggs! They did give me a dollar off: I wanted to show them a cookbook.", "Really good breakfast options. I went with my family and everyone loved it. The huckleberry pancakes are amazing! The huckleberry \"syrup\" isn't like regular syrup. It's homemade and tastes amazing! I had their biscuits and gravy and Oh. My. Gosh they were amazing!! The gravy is made with the sausage oils (like they are supposed to) and it made you just want to keep eating. Overall everything is homemade and you just want more. Service was great as well for being so busy.", "Terri's Cafe is ok, nothing special by any means. The food was good and the coffee is good, you get larger cups here then you would at a Denny's or ihop. My only gripe is my pancakes were kind of chewy. But overall was a good experience. Staff was very friendly!!!", "I highly recommend TERRI'S CAFE. The food is always delicious. I have to eat gluten free and they have a very nice selection of breakfast and lunch items. TERRI the owner has made nice improvements to what was once Steves Restaurant. The waitresses are always pleasant and friendly. Don't hesitate to have your next breakfast or lunch here.

[ "Tacos del Mar is now Antonio's Mexican Grill. They offer tacos, burritos, gorditas, tortas y ensaladas. \n\nI had the Taco al Pastor which was mighty tasty, though this was my first one ever, so I might not be the best judge. I also devoured a Taco Pescado, with grilled rather than fried fish. It was not too bad.\n\nThe Pico de Galla was fresh and had a nice crunch to it. Cilantro was present in just right amount so that it did not overwhelm any of the other favors. The double soft tacos helped keep the meal together. The addition of pineapple to the taco al pastor off-set the spice burn nicely and provided an alternate flavor sensation.\n\nAntonio's has only a limited license, but serves house wine and beer in addition to fountain drinks. They hope to have a full license in the near future and plan to serve a variety of margaritas.", "There is a new kid in town - downtown that is.\n\nAntonio's is a little mamá y papá restaurant in the heart of downtown. It is a casual restaurant with fresh food served in a fastfood style. Nothing fancy here. You walk up to the food line - looks a bit like Subway only with real meat - order from the menu printed on the board, and get your own plastic ware and napkins and sit.\n\nThe food was quickly prepared and brought to our table by mamá. I had the Burrito al Pastor which was filled with succulent chunks of spicy tender pork, fresh lettuce, tomato and avacado, rice and beans, and pineapple all wrapped up in a soft warm flour tortilla. It was a nice mix of sweet of sweet and spicy and the ratio of meat to the other fillings was perfect. \n\nThey have beer and wine as well as soft drinks. The space is open and light with bold colors and bright lighting. They have a small outdoor patio area that will be used for outdoor dining during warm weather. \n\nThe food is trattoria style rather than cheese laden Tex-Mex. Food is fresh and well prepared. Prices are reasonable - our total tab with food, drinks and tip came in under $30. \n\nThis will be worth a return visit.", "Welp. Looks like we've replaced cheap crap with overpriced crap at this location.\n\nMajor sticker shock upon first entering and looking at the menu ... these are downtown San Francisco taqueria prices. 7 bucks for most burritos, and 8 bucks for the carne for some reason. Everything else is 7 to 9 bucks somewhere. One street taco is 3 bucks - whuf! And you don't seem to get chips with any of this either. \n\nOK, but maybe the portion size or the food quality makes up for the price? I tried the al pastor burrito. OK size ... not impressive for the money. Food quality? Upon biting in, not only did they pull the \"fold an oversized tortilla on itself to make it look bigger\" trick (Subpar Burrito does this too), they filled the thing with lettuce. LETTUCE. IN A BURRITO. \"They put lettuce in the burritos Hank!\"\n\nOh, and the al pastor that is being tooted about here? Yeah, that's not al pastor. It was just roast pork. No seasoning, no heat. Just plain pork. Terrible. \n\nI have to question whether this is really \"mama y papa\" or just the old owners up to their old tricks with a rebrand to shake off the Taco del Mar stink and as an excuse to charge higher prices.", "Food - A+. I got the vegetarian catcus taco + rice and beans. It rang in around $6.00 and was very filling. It was delicious and wholesome.\nAmbiance - Warm festive colors that brightened up a dreary winter day! Nice decorations on the wall. \nCustomer Service - A+++++++. The owners are the nicest people and one walked up to my table and made sure everything was to my liking. \n\nOverall, it's way more than a casual dining place. It's authentic quality food at a good price in an inviting sit-down restaurant environment. And for the record, it's leaps and bounds over the place that used to occupy this spot, Taco Del Mar.\n\nI will definitely be back (again & again) for more!", "Wonderful food!! Great service. Very nice family restaurant. We will go often. (good for vegetarians and vegans also)", "Great carnitas! The gorditas are good. The tortas could have more filling for the price. Still, really good Mexican food for downtown reno.", "I got the store at 7:43pm,walked and in was told \"sorry we are closed\". The sign said open until 8. I guess this place will be out of business soon,like the previous place. I wont come back.", "EXCELLENT tacos and salsas. This is a real taquería with fresh ingredients, excellent flavors, and attention to detail. The owners are very friendly and always have fresh green and red salsas that are outstanding with complex flavors. So far I have tried the carne asada, chicken, fish (grilled), and rajas tacos. (Rajas is a great option for vegetarians) The prices reflect the downtown location and the high quality ingredients. This is a much-needed addition to Mexican food in Reno!", "Wonderful service. Willing to substitute items. Veg tacos, carne asade tacos on point. REAL MEXICAN food.", "I was not impressed with this place. When we came in I almost made my boyfriend leave because the place was dirty, but decided to still give it a try. What a mistake. The food was bland and over priced. No one ever came and cleaned any of the tables. Gross. Qdoba or Chipotle would have been much better options.\n\nThis place had so much potential being right down town by the river.

I was born and raised in EUROPE so I am always skeptic about local rustic restaurants. I have to say that everything starting with the food (cheeses, meats and main dishes) are of the highest quality. Everything from the smallest ingredient is imported. Tasting their food brought back memories of flavors and saturations I have only experienced in europe. The fact that they have added a unique rustic design and atmosphere is what really brings the whole experience to a whole new level uncomparable to anything around.\nI will certainly be back for more.", "Amazing! Wow what a wonderful spot. Great people. Incredible food! Nice atmosphere!! I definitely recommend!", "My boyfriend brought me here for a date and it was the perfect setting and atmosphere. The service was excellent and everything came out very quick. I had the braised pork with mushrooms, and would definitely recommend it. We ordered some of their sliced meats as an appetizer and it was some of the highest quality I have ever had before, the flavor was so unique and unforgettable. To finish it off we had one of their desserts which was a creation made by the chef/owner of delicious sweet tortillas dipped in fresh cream.\n\nThe details in this restaurant, and the design and authentic feel make Lagiola a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back!", "This is exactly what we needed in Ambler!! My husband and I came here on Friday before the dinner rush. The food was fantastic!!! We ordered 6 different small plates and every single one was amazing. The owner was super friendly and even showed us how he made fresh mozzarella. It's also nice that it is BYOB. It's very small inside. I want to go back soon because I know once word gets out there will be lines out the door.", "Very delicious lunch I had with my sister. Food was amazing.

We will definitely be back to try other selections. Welcome to Ambler. \n\nMary Giampa", "My husband and I enjoyed a late dinner at Lagiola last night. The servers were incredibly attentive, knowledgable, and personable. Husband got the chicken empanadas, they were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and so full of flavor. I sampled the aroz con hongo porcini y esparragus. It was delicious. The mushrooms and asparagus were tender and the cheese was melted all the way through the dish. I wish it was a little more herbaceous, but that is more of a personal preference, over all the flavors were simple but full. For our entrees husband got the steak skewers with the Moreno dip. The steak was succulent and perfectly medium rare. The dip is so tasty you want to keep finding things to put in on. I tried the paella which was to die for. The seafood was tender and fresh, and the portion was large enough to share with three or four people. I would eat this every day of the week, it is true comfort food. For desert we had espresso and the traditional quince and Manchego cheese which never disappoints. I am so happy to have found a new spot in Ambler. I can't wait to take my girlfriend here the next time we go out.", "Antonio and his team are a welcome addition to Ambler's blossoming restaurant scene. Being a BYOB and having a liqueur store a few blocks away make this an affordable weeknight option for me and my wife to visit. The service is responsive and lovely and the food is outstanding!\n\nAs the great Arnold Schwarzenegger said... \"it's not a tumor\"", "My partner Bob and I found 555 Lagiola totally on a whim and persisted in finding the location and we were so happy that we did. Antonio and his team were quite welcoming. We tried the mixed vegetable salad and the grilled shrimp. Both were perfectly cooked and tasty. I am not a huge dessert fan but the strawberries with Nutella, pistachios and freshly whipped cream caught my eye and filled our stomachs. Yummy! We will be returning every Friday for lunch and figured by the time we have everything on the menu, Antonio will be creating a new menu for fall. If you are in Ambler, and are interested in flavor, this place is for you.", "I'll start by saying the staff is so friendly here. We were greeted very nicely by the manager, our server was very attentive, and the head chef personally came to our table to ask how our meal was. \n\nHowever, don't get your hopes up for traditional Spanish tapas. As someone who has spent months in Spain, these tapas are not what you would typically see across the pond. When I saw the patatas bravas on the menu I was so excited for a dish I haven't had in years, but they came out looking and tasting more like an upscale hashbrown dish.\n\nLastly, this may be part of the growing pains of a new restaurant, but our plates were not coursed at all and everything came out at once, so we saw ourselves sitting at the table with a steaming hot plate of paella (that we didn't want to get cold!) next to our meat and cheese plate which we had barely touched. \n\nOverall I think this place has a lot of potential, and would be willing to try again with a few changes. I would say that if you're looking for traditional Spanish tapas, it is definitely worth the trip down to Philadelphia, but for a local BYO this place will hit the mark." ]

[ "Overall, I would go here again. I was excited to experience the sushi on a conveyor belt because I missed this experience! Alas, having lived in Japan my expectations are too high, but this restaurant more or less was what I expected from a sushi restaurant in the midwest. The decor here is very well done and has a great atmosphere. I ordered the Dinner Bento with Tonkatsu, my mother ordered the Dinner Bento with teriyaki salmon, my sister ordered beef udon, and my father ordered the Shogun chicken. The bento boxes very much resemble Tachibana's bento boxes. Mine contained an appetizer of miso soup, 4 pieces of a california roll, chef's choice of three nigiri zushi, tonkatsu over lettuce, an egg roll, two shumai, and a crab rangoon, with steamed rice on the side for 17.95. I think you definitely get your money's worth out of the bento box but not so much with the conveyor belt sushi. To top it all off since we said it was my dad's birthday, they surprised us with candles and 4 pieces of tempura fried cheesecake! How special! It really made this a memorable and fun experience and while it isn't quite what I hoped it would be, I would give it a second chance.", "I am a HUGE fan of sushi, so I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to any sushi restaurant reviews! We received a few coupons in the mail for Sushi Japan so we decided to give it a shot on a rainy Friday night. I have to say that I was super excited to try this place, we need more good sushi restaurants in the counties! \nThe restaurant is in a plaza with a few shops and Dierbergs, they have a very large sign in front so we knew exactly where to go. The windows are all covered with thin paper, so we weren't sure what to expect until we walked in. The place was nice inside, it was a lot bigger than I expected and there were quite a few people there. There is a bar on the left, the conveyor belt seating area in the middle and larger traditional Japanese seating on the right. We sat in the bar seating area in front of the conveyor belt, thought it was a cool concept to see all the sushi go by and pick and choose as we pleased!\nWe weren't sure how the pricing of the conveyor belt items worked out until we looked around and saw that there are different colored plates that are associated with different listed prices, all very reasonable. Most of the sushi that passes around are only 2 pieces on a plate, so it is nice to be able to choose lots of different items without getting too full. There are also traditional Japanese drinks, salads and appetizers such as edamame and crab rangoon on the belt. We kept picking up more items and tried lots of different things: hawaiian roll, spicy tuna, Alaska (not our favorite), crab rangoon, daily special, edamame and shrimp dumplings (yum) among others. What I did like about the conveyor was that you had lots of options in smaller portions so you could try a lot, what I didn't like was that sometimes the items might sit for a while before they are picked up; our edamame was lukewarm so it probably rotated for a while. \nWe also decided to order a few rolls off the menu: spicy tuna, spicy salmon (both I think tasted almost identical), salmon and yellowtail roll (yum!). \nAll around, I think the conveyor belt brings a cool factor to the place that brings people in; we will probably be back with friends for drinks and small bites. The service was good and the restaurant was nice. However, Sapporo sushi is still our favorite in the area, they have the best tasting sushi around. I did enjoy coming here and to most people that aren't obsessed with sushi like me, this place will probably be a hit.", "I happened into Sushi Japan for lunch and I was not impressed. \n\nLocated in a west county strip mall that is chock full of restaurants, they have lots to compete with. The conveyor belt concept is good, but it isn't working here. \n\nConveyor belt sushi bars usually have a sushi chef actively working the conveyor belt replacing old with new, keeping an eye on the customers and and making sure that things are rotated. This was not the case here. \n\nI came late lunch and everything on the conveyor belt tasted very old. I'm not even sure if it was made that day. Usually, the conveyor belt sushi experience is a social experience, but there was no one in the place. I was there by myself. The waitstaff seemed wrapped up in each other. Then, when I was getting ready to leave, I was approached by a guy who may have been a manager or owner. He wouldn't leave me alone talking about his personal life and seemed intoxicated. Overall, a very strange experience. I won't be back.", "I ate here for the first time today and I am a huge fan now! Not only was the sushi excellent and very affordable, but the staff was also very attentive to our needs the full 2 hours we were there. I am absolutely in love with the conveyor belt too which sends around a variety of items for your choosing... it's something you must see to believe! I will be going back soon and I will absolutely be recommending it to everyone I know. I have been to a lot of sushi places in the surrounding areas and I usually find them to be very pricey and average in taste, but not this one. Stop in soon, you won't be disappointed.", "I've never really been the type to leave reviews for restaurants, but I've been coming to Sushi Japan since they opened and still enjoy as much as ever. This is actually a bit odd as I have never been much of a sushi fan. \n\nSushi Japan offers a variety of food, including a hibachi grill, which is my personal favorite. The decor and staff are fantastic every time I have been, and while it may not be a five star restaurant, you will be hard pressed to find a better value anywhere else. \n\nSome of the other comments refer to business being slow, which is true to some degree. Sushi Japan only opened a few months ago, and while being immediately poplar and busy may be the dream of a small business owner, the reality is that business takes awhile to pick up. \n\nSushi Japan is a perfect place to take a family, even with small children. The menu is extensive and many sushi and non sushi items are absolutely delicious! It is certainly worth a try if you find yourself in west county - - especially considering that most other restaurants out here are boring chains.", "If you truly love fish, you need to check this place out! Their sashimi is amazingly fresh, with generous portions at ridiculous prices. Make sure to order a miso soup to start, it's rich and flavorful. We had roll from the conveyor belt, which was fine, but not great. But the sashimi is a complete steal. It comes with an unusual garnish: an LED light, glowing blue under the bed of ice that cradles your fish, keeping it ocean fresh. I'm not a fan of overly \"fishy\" fish, but the mackerel here was subtle and flavorful, and completely delicious. It'll change your mind about what sashimi can be. Don't miss it.", "... one of those places that get slap happy with the sweet sweet mayo... and I have a particular aversion to it due to my experiences with my time at Taiwan... I hate the stuff.\n\nIt needs to be noted that this place does do the conveyor belt sushi and the service is pretty decent. \n\nHowever two things in particular make me not want to check this place out anytime soon - their fried calamari - I was hoping was just dusted in corn starch, which I'm used to at Japanese restaurants, but was with this ridiculously hard oily breadcrumb coating. That and instead of a light ponzu sauce or something it came with said disgusting mayo sauce.\n\nThe other was that there was a fish bone in one of my fish... which I have to say I've never experienced at a Japanese restaurant before. Ever. The only thing that would have kept this place from being a 1 was that the taste of the rolls were pretty decent.", "We went for the all you can eat dinner and it was amazing!!! I eat sushi all the time and was not disappointed. it is made to order and tasted great. I enjoyed the service and decor as well.", "So glad we stumbled into Sushi Japan! Their all you can eat lunch special is amazing. $13.00 gets you a salad, soup, appetizer, and ALL YOU CAN FREAKING EAT SUSHI, SASHIMI, AND ROLLS, all made up fresh when you order. Are you kidding me?? We were prepared for buffet style sushi (you know what I'm talking about, it's been sitting around all day and while it doesn't taste that great, it's cheap and there's a lot of it). Instead, the sushi chef here made everything as we ordered, and it was fantabulous. How often do you eat sushi and leave full for $13? We had St. Louis rolls, honey rolls, Missouri rolls, shrimp tempura rolls, california rolls, white and red tuna sashumi, it was all fantastic. Had with my special miso soup (great), salad with ginger dressing (very good), crab rangoon (best I have had) and unlimited sushi....all fantastic. Will definitely be visiting again.", "I went there for the $12.99 lunch all you can eat. They provide a menu with all the items that are included in this great deal. I got miso soup, house salad, gyoza, california roll, spicy tuna roll and alaska roll. The food was very good and I enjoyed myself very much. I would recommend this place to others. They have a dinner $19.99 all you can eat also. My friend says the menu is larger and he was happy with what he had eaten. Remember though, what you leave you have to pay for. So make sure you have a big appetite. LOL" ]

[ "I'm generally a do-it-yourself kinda gal - especially when it comes to washing my truck. I like the sense of accomplishment! But when it comes to spilled half-and-half in the floorboard of my husband's truck, I opted to take it to someone how has better tools to handle the job. \n\nAnd let me tell you, I chose the right place! I barely made it in the door when I was greeted politely by a staff member. Not only was he helpful in finding a solution to the 5-day old milk on the floorboards, but he was informative. Then the service member whisked away my husband's truck and was back in a jiffy (but not so quick so I know he actually did some work). \n\nPlus this place has a little boutique inside so you can browse great gifts while you are waiting on your car. They also have a coffee bar with BEER and WINE! And free Wi-Fi. \n\nWe are selling a car in the spring - and I'll be taking it back here to get the whole dealio done - engine block cleaned, buffed, waxed, crevices squeaky clean. In the meantime, I might be spending my lunch hours at Miles!!", "If you want to spoil your car and give it a luxurious interior and exterior cleaning, this place is where it's at. \n\nI loved going to a place like this in the Midwest, and having moved to Nashville, I found that many people in the South wash their cars by hand rather than at a gas station car wash. So I was on the lookout last year after I got a new car last October, for a place where my car could get pampered once a month (and maybe me too). \n\nI simply love the place and love the fact they have a juice bar that offers coffee, pop, and alcohol. And while you wait, they have a nice seating area with a large screen television. Or if you'd like there's a computer station where you can check email (or Facebook) while you wait. And for the ladies out there, there's a small shop with various clothing and accessories with some greeting cards too. \n\nThey have done an awesome job with the car washes, and I always do a round-the-car inspection before I drive-off and each time, they've done a perfect job. \n\nOverall, I love this place, and I wouldn't get my car wash anywhere else!", "Went for the first time today and it was an enjoyable experience. No waiting, staff was friendly, efficient and did a good job. I plan on going there again in the future", "Took the newest car in the fleet to get the Mac daddy detail -- the $189 (on their website) job. Called ahead and made an appointment.\n\nFirst off, when I dropped the car off at 8AM I was surprised to find that both interior and exterior were $250. I understood the statement as to why, but I guess that I'm a little surprised that the website wasn't any clearer.\n\nThe technician called about noon to say that the car was \"almost ready\" and that I could come anytime to pick it up. Dropped by at 1pm and was surprised to see the car still unfinished, and, frankly, not even 100% clean. Bugs, etc. still on the outside, portions of the car not even well vacuumed. Pointed this out, and the tech scratched his head and offered, \"Well, there's only so much we can do...\" The owner followed up personally on the complaint and promised that it would be fixed. He asked for two hours to complete the job the right way.\n\nWhen we dropped by four hours later (5pm), they were still finishing the car. Don't know why, but again, I was surprised and it took another 20-25 minutes of waiting to get it done. After a few picky little items, I took the car, paid and left.\n\nFor the detail, I'll give five stars. For the run-around, I give two stars. Three is what they get in total (would give 3.5).\n\nAs others have said, the facility is great and I'd go there again, but perhaps not for detail.", "I go to Miles regularly for car washes, and love the experience. BUT, I tried taking my wife's Lexus there for a detail, and came away greatly disappointed. They were not done on time, did a very poor vacuuming job, and totally ignored waxing the roof of the vehicle. When I asked about the roof, I was told to bring it back tomorrow so they could finish it. So, yes to their wash service, but decidedly no to the detail offering.", "Just moved to Franklin and was looking for a good place to get my car washed. Reviewed Miles on their website and it looked enticing. Given this is TN, thought the prices were actually quite high given similar places I've visited in other parts of the country. I chose a $30 package to get the exterior, interior, wheels cleaned, etc. but unfortunately was quite disappointed. Multiple spots missed on exterior of car, wheels not very clean even though this package called for special attention to this area, interior windows left smudgy, and interior surfaces not cleaned. I was clearly disappointed given the price tag. Just not that good of a service performed and attention to detail was clearly lacking. If this was a $10 wash, no problem, but for $30, not even close.", "I had a horrible experience with an employee ruining a $70 print inside my car. After going through the ran around the owner (Miles Johnson) actually emailed me and rectified the situation. I really appreciate them doing the right thing. I will definitely return.", "+/- A bit pricey, but they do solid work.\n+Can consult to get your whole garage remodeled.\n-Purses? Jewelry?\n\nBottom Line: Still confused why anyone would buy a purse at the car wash.", "Don't waste your money! They have an automated pay machine but it wouldn't take my bill. The screen said $7 dollars but it charged me $9! For $9 dollars they didn't even pre-wash our car off or towel dry it. My mirrors got pushed in but no one was there to fix them. I've received much better service for less money.", "Found Miles The Auto Spa online and I couldn't be happier to have a clean car now from the Rain we had yesterday. Didn't know that they offer Bumper paint repair and they also do tint windows. Cool experience, as you can buy a beer or gourmet coffee while you wait to have your car washed. Will go again!" ]

A couple of times I've been when they are busy and my noodles came out way overdone.", "Wife and I stopped here on Sunday for lunch during yet *another* trip to Bed Bath & Beyond. (We're newlyweds.) It's a good joint. Yes, it's slightly more expensive than a burger at Mickey D's, and it takes a little longer, but the menu's unique and interesting for a fast food joint. The best part is the service, though. The folks behind the counter are friendly.", "5 stars for customer service. I have been a patron of noodles since the first one opened in Carmel a few years ago.\n\nThe food is always good if not great for the price. The few times I or anyone I have been dining with has had an issue it has been taken care of immediately!! \n\nFor those of you new to noodles here we go:\n\nThe menu board is divided into 3 sections: American, Italian, Asian.\n\nAmerican options include Stroganoff, Mac & Cheese, etc.\nItalian includes: Pesto Cavatappi (my personal fav), Penne Rosa, Spaghetti w Red Sauce, etc.\nAsian includes: Pad Thai, Japanese Pan Noodles, etc.\n\nThen you pick a protein (if so desired) Beef, Shrimp, Tofu, Chicken, Parmesan crusted Chicken, etc.\n\nAnd you pick your size, small or regular.\n\nThey do offer a combo plate (I made that name up, not sure what Noodle's calls it but you get the idea) of pick one pasta, one protein, and one soup or salad.\n\nThey do serve beer & wine, have a fountain machine, along with a beverage case of teas, juices, and milks.\n\nFor dessert try a giant gooey Rice Krispie treat or Cookie.", "love this place!! so in love, that we went here 2 days in a row!! the first time i went there, i ordered a regular indonesian thai peanut and thai curry soup. this was so yummy! and it feels so healthy!! \n\non day two, i had a regular chinese chop salad. this was so good. it has been awhile since i've had a yummy chinese chicken salad (with no chicken). the cripsy wontons gave it a nice finish. yummy!!", "I have to admit I even surprise myself when I gave it only 3 stars. Because when I was a kid I was the pasta kid. I love and still love pasta. So you think I would love this place. It's okay. Second time I have been in the place. Maybe it's just me. But I would rather go to another little favorite Chinese place around the corner from this place. I think the Shrimp was good but not enough for the size bowl. Doubt I will rush right back anytime soon.", "I got an Asian salad that was very very good but also overpriced. Seems like some bread to go with it would be nice. My dining companion had also eaten there recently and thought the pasta was a better value. I had a pasta dish at another Noodles & Company and it was just okay. My granddaughter loved the macaroni and cheese. My salad was good, but I enjoy salads just as good at other restaurants for half the price.", "Decent place for 'Noodles'. They have a good selection, that's for sure. This visit was only a 4 because the noodles and sauce were kinda 'mushed' together. When it's fresh, you can't beat it for the price!", "I've been here several times and always found the place with dirty dishes on several tables. On this visit I had to clean a table so my family could have a place to sit. I stacked the dirty dishes on the serving counter just to make a statement. There seems to be enough employees to send one or two to clean off the tables so paying customers can sit down. And, the price is expensive for what you really get. I don't think I will come back to this place.", "I'd never had noodles and company before.. and I now see why. What a nightmare. \nThere were a few people in line before us when we arrived. We briskly moved through the line and ordered without incident. After about 5 - 7 minutes of waiting on our food they come out to let us know that they are out of the pork and that we could have anything else on the menu... Well that sucks because nothing else really appealed to me. About 40 seconds after one worker leaves to give us a few minutes to figure out what we'd want another member comes out and proceeds to tell us they are out of pork.. Wait a second... you're out of pork? really? \n\nthere were literally maybe 4 people working.. is it that hard to communicate amongst 4 people working in like 25 sq ft of kitchen and counter?\n\nI finally order a steak and cheese and my friend orders a meatball. About 2 minutes later our wives meals come out.. mostly. The other part of one of their meals comes out a minute or 2 later. About 10 minutes later after they've all but finished their meals, my friends meatball comes out. A minute or later my steak and cheese finally comes out. \n\nFor the steak and cheese, I didn't expect some masterpiece or huge sandwich, but this thing was tiny... Each half was maybe a little bigger than a slider. It was flavorless and uneventful. But at least i had that chocolate chunk cookie to look forward to right? Well either i neglected to read the fine print on the sign or it wasn't there.... this was an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chunks... Sigh.. crappy ending to a crappy experience. I won't be back.. \n\nSide note - this place is right next to city bbq.. go get me some pulled pork there!!!\nPs.. my wife just added that they were out of a lot of soda flavors in their fancy soda machine." ]

[ "O'Neal's has a fairly impressive selection of beer for an Irish-styled sport's bar. The atmosphere has a sort of seedy-underbelly quality of which I'm not particularly fond given this usually comes paired with gropey middle-aged South Philly dudes (which are in no short supply at O'Neal's). The food's not too bad either. It's straight-up pub grub but it's like grub found in a real pub. I liked the chicken fingers a lot and the Irish Stew was really delish.\n\nThey have pool tables upstairs, which is a plus. If somebody asked me where I was going this Friday night, I wouldn't immediately shout out \"O'Neal's!!!\" all excitedly; but if a friend wanted to meet there I wouldn't say no.", "I like to stop by O'neal's to catch a soccer match or on Wednesday nights for their $2/$3 domestic special which includes (almost) any domestic draft (even the cask ale!) \n\nDecent selection on tap with the usual local suspects (dogfish, yards, stoudts, sly fox etc) sharing the towers with a couple imports and some good bottles tucked in the cooler. And as I hinted to before, they've got a beer engine for us real ale enthusiasts.\n\nFood is typical pub fare. Spanish fries were good and the buffalo wings were HOT. I like my wings HOT (so hot, in fact, that apparently only capital letters can emphasize how hot I fancy them). If my nose ain't runnin' and my eyes ain't tearin' I feel ripped off, and these things had me. Everything else I've had was so-so. Not in a bad way, just nothing to shout from the hilltops. \n\nThe staff is friendly and attentive (although on my most recent birthday I did get away with throwing up ON the bar, sneaking outside for a smoke only to return to order another shot of irish and a bomber of golden monkey without any accusations), the crowd varies, the regulars can be lend a chuckle and the bathrooms make the water closet on a plane look like an executive spa.", "I like O'Neals. It's totally unpretentious, has a fantastic beer list and usually plays decent music. I met the owner before the LCD Soundsystem show at the TLA and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I will def. go back. Plus they have a cask conditioned beer pumped with the beer engine that, usually, is pretty good. The food is definitely lacking however and the crowd is a little, I'll quote Nicole R, \"gropey middle-aged South Philly dudes\"", "I'm a bit hazy on this one... I'm very often already half in the bag by the time someone suggests to go to O'Neal's. Can't tell you about the prices, or the food, or the beer selection (they serve a lesser know stout in place of Guinness) I still whole-heartedly suggest you visit O'Neal's if for no other reason than to see Rebecca the loveliest bartender I've ever seen. I defy you to find a flaw on this girl. She's worth the trip. Also, the regulars (especially the girls) are always very nice to me even though I'm already a goofy drunken beast when I walk through the door. Be good or be gone.", "There's a lot to love about O'Neal's. First of all, every time I go, I'm impressed with how friendly and accomodating the ENTIRE staff is. You can take your pick for hang out locales- get squished downstairs, play darts upstairs, or chill out on the patio in back. They have great happy hour and nightly specials (2 for 1 appetizers, Wednesday is ladies night, Monday $2 microbrews, etc etc.) and prices on food are also completely reasonable. I recommend the Big Salad, though it's better pre-beer. O'Neals is also kind enough to sponsor Philadelphia Women's Rugby and allow us to occasionally take over upstairs for meetings, socials, and fundraisers. Solid beer selection as well, and usually not overcrowded. Upstairs is much more fun than down and they're pretty happy to turn the TV to whatever sports game you want to see.", "Stopped by Oneal's after the Happy Hour at Tattooed Mom's and it was definitely a good scene. It had the classic neighborhood bar feel, 2 floors of hugeness, late night gastropub food, and plenty of daily drink specials to merit a visit.\n\nWe rolled up to the second floor and got drinks promptly. Wednesday was ladies night (1/2 drinks for the ladies) and $2.50 domestic drafts, so the tab was next to nothing. We also got to watch the worst game of darts EVER. these players were seriously ricocheting darts off the only metal part of the board. it kind of bought back memories of when I took a dart to the leg, but it was amusing to watch nonetheless.\n\nOverall O'Neals is a great neighborhood dive that has plenty to do and see. Cheers.", "When you walk into O'Neal's, you might be taken aback by the tremendous amount of dudes in the place. They are definitely serving sausage there.\n\n Wade past all the \"sweet dudes\" who are high fiving each other at the bar and make your way upstairs or all the way to the patio out back. It is really nice out there, with the owner having shelled out a few dollars to revamp the concrete slab/plastic table set up that he previously had. Now, it goes for a kind of European cafe feel with spot lighting, big circular tables and comfy seats. The even have a flat screen outside for watching the game in the elements. \n\n The beer specials are 2.50, so four hours of drinking equaled two rounds at a club, and you don't have to yell or have someone's genitals rub against you. Our server was great and didn't let the Vonnegut book she was firmly entrenched in get in the way of keeping my palate wet. Beers were prompt and cold.\n\n I ate a burger and it was delicious save for the roll, and good god man, the onion rings were perfect. \n\n Our tab came at the end of the night. With four people drinking steadily for almost four hours, our tab was so cheap, one of our companions picked up almost the whole thing (sweet deal for yours truly). I had a great time chatting up the server, the cook, the bartender and everyone else.\n\n It would be nice to be able to smoke on the patio, but I saw the dilemma with the fan blowing right into the kitchen. Also, stock your pond with some ladies for a while to thin out all the swinging dick that blocks my path out to the smoking area", "Irish named bars usually aren't my scene - having grown up around Boston, I had my fill before turning 21. I decided, however, to take up my friend's opinion that this place has the best happy hour around South Street. And he was most certainly right.\n\nDraft beers $5 and under are half price - anything else is $2 off. Appetizers are also half off. Everyone is right about this place having some stellar munchie food - we opted for the sampler, which included pierogies, fries, chicken wings, and chicken tenders. All of which were prepared fresh, unlike most other places. \n\nThe patio out back rules. It was an awesome spot to spend a beautiful August evening. This place was a definite surprise for me, and proof that not all Irish bars are terrible. I'll definitely be back.", "Best happy hour or place to start out you're evening! From 4:30-6:30 downstairs and till 8:30 upstairs. Half off all beers $5 and under and $2 off any beer over that and their selection is not bad! And Wednesday night is ladies night so it's half price drinks all night! Also, half price appetizers and granted, it's not the best pub food around but some of it is pretty good!\nTheir new patio is pretty nice, and everyone is always very friendly as well.", "I guess I should come here for happy hour sometime, based on the other reviews. But alas, it was saturday night when I stopped in. Two friends and I were looking for a place in the area to throw back a couple, that wasn't \"South Street\". So O'Neal's it was, and not a bad place to do just that.\n\nThe lights were a little too bright (I usually don't want to see the other bar patrons in such harsh lighting... nothing good can come of it.) And the no-nonsense dive-esque sports bar theme didn't really add anything for me. But the beer selection was good, and the trivial pursuit cards kept us entertained for a while. Did you know that belly button lint is most commonly blue?\n\nThe bartender had never heard of the beer Leffe (and if you haven't either, I suggest you try it), which was a little surprising. I had to repeat my request several times and point to the bottle before he got it. But he asked to try a taste of mine, decided it was quite good, and made up for it by giving us a shot of \"sex with the captain\" on the house. I'll take it.\n\nI wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you're with a few friends and just looking for a place to hang out, this'll do the job. Especially if you're a dude." ]

[ "I woke up and ate breakfast like normal, but I knew this wasn't any other day. Once the breakfast was digested and I felt the urge again I headed on my way to the new Paesano's in the Italian Market. \n\nIt's not a brand new menu, but about 5 new additions have been made: three sandwiches (fried lasagne, liver & onions, and fried fish), a Minestrone, and a Chopp salad. Hanging next to the original menu is plenty of blank chalkboards just waiting for them to settle into the larger space and expand. In addition to their larger kitchen comes a dining area that enables you to finally breathe and relax between each delicious bite. This leads to a much more pleasurable dining experience, I must admit.\n\nNow onto the actual eats. I got a mainstay to eat in: the Gustaio (lamb sausage, sun-dried cherry mustarda, fennel, and gorgonzola). This was extraordinary, even more fantastic than usual. I noticed that the wrap was extra rustic and while I was polishing it off Nate had confirmed my suspicion that they had switched to a different one. \n\nI felt empty at this point though. Not my stomach, my heart. Why stick to the basics? This visit would be unaccomplished if I didn't try a new sandwich, so I had to decide what to take home. I was feeling extra giving today and decided to bring one of the new sandwiches, the Bolagnese (fried lasagne, smoked parmasean, and a fried egg on a Kaiser roll), home for my roommate and I to split. Italian-style chicken cutlet breading helped the deliciously fried lasagne, but it definitely doesn't have the full-on flavor of the rest of the menu. \n\nThis great new location will be a spot to take the out of towners, but I think I will stick closer to home with the old Philly Style. I have a feeling that the authentic old menu staples (Gustaio, Arista, Daddy Wad, and Crispella, etc.) with the few additions such as Bolagnese with the Italian-style fried lasagne will help new Paesano's settle perfectly into its new location on the corner of 9th & Christian.", "I am so bummed that I didn't get \"First to Review\" for this new location of Paesano's. I saw earlier that I'd been beaten by Ben M. by only a few hours.\n\nAfter a night of tossing, turning and almost drowning in my own tears - I decided to come back to Yelp to give Paesano's 2 its proper review.\n\nLet me break it down in the easiest way possible. If Chef Peter McAndrews was a movie director... he'd be... Quentin Tarantino. HA! You thought I was going to say something predictable like James Cameron right? Wrong. I will say one thing though, if any of my favorite Paesano's sandwiches were movies - it'd have to be Avatar. For me, when I watched Avatar I knew it was a pretty damned good movie. So, I went and saw it again on a grander scale - IMAX 3D. And y'know when you watch a movie for the second time, you kind of just watch it play out again? The second time I saw Avatar, I swear I wanted to upgrade the MFer to the best movie I'd ever seen in my life. In short, that's basically what you should expect from your first and second experiences with a Paesano's sandwich.\n\nBut getting back to my point, why is McAndrews, Tarantino? I will tell you one thing, his sandwiches ARE EFFING BADASS. Tarantino's movies are what? EFFING BADASS. McAndrews' use of fried egg (appears in a few of his sandwiches) is pretty much like Tarantino casting Samuel L. Jackson (appears in a few of his movies). On the surface, hell it's just fried egg. Take that fried egg though and combine it with some of the best ingredients (actors) you've ever had in one sandwich (movie)? You'll be experiencing one of the best explosions of flavor (filmmaking) in your life.\n\nNow, just like Tarantino not everyone might be a fan of McAndrews' style. And just like with Tarantino, if you don't like McAndrews' style, you're just plain wrong. You are wronger than wrong.\n\nAt any rate, like that bastard Ben M. said before me - there's currently four new sandwiches at the Italian Market location:\n\nLiveracce (seared beef liver, sauteed onions, iceberg lettuce, roasted tomato, garlic mayo and gorgonzola on an Italian roll)\n\nBolagnese (crispy fried lasagne Bolagnese with smoked parmesan and Samuel L. Jackson on an Italian roll)\n\nMeatloaf Parmesan (crispy fried Italian-style meatloaf with red sauce and mozzarella on an Italian roll)\n\nPesce Fritti (crispy tilapia fillet with lettuce, tomato, onion, caper maionese, and sharp provolone on an Italian roll)\n\nSo, stop in pick a sandwich and crank your iPod/iPhone (or lesser MP3 playing device) to your favorite retro-60's music and enjoy a badass cinematic masterpiece in your mouth.", "Ok, so the general consensus is that Paesano's sandwiches are great. But what about for vegetarians? Well, they have one option for people like me on the menu and it is delicious. The Giartina (I think that's the name of it) is roasted eggplant, peppers, & fennel with basil pesto and fresh mozz. Just incredible, very flavorful and you can taste everything with every bite.\n\nThe roasted potatoes side is great as well and only $2! I'll definitely be back often for take out as that sandwich cannot be beat.", "Paesano's did not disappoint! I had the eggplant sandwich with roasted potatoes and I am currently in a coma after stuffing my face. The sandwich was toasted just right with a yummy mixture of onions, mozzarella, pesto, peppers, and eggplant. The menu boasts that the potatoes are made with all of the fat and flavor that they can muster and they are definitely worth the heart attack risk. \nI highly enjoyed the absolutely over-the-top charming, helpful, and enthusiastic waiter/chef that took our order. He was patient and explained things well, even letting us know that he could make the potatoes without the animal fat. \nReasonably priced, delicious, ample portions, and great service- methinks I found a new favorite place!", "recently i rode the subway to spa east in northern liberties. on my way back to the el, i noticed that the original paesano's is right near the girard stop. i made a mental note to go back sometime. never happened. \n\nluckily for me, paesano's II just opened in the italian market, which is a much more convenient location for me. i attempted to eat there for lunch on monday, but paesano's II is only open wednesdays through sundays. undeterred, i vowed to go back later in the week.\n\nas always, i studied the menu well in advance, so i knew what i wanted as soon as i arrived -- the arista (roasted suckling pig, sharp provolone, broccoli rabe, and long hots). mr. h ordered the meatloaf parm sandwich.\n\nwe rushed home and, let me just say, the sandwiches did not disappoint (i stole a bite of mr. h's and it was quite tasty). \n\nnow, my approach to eating is always, \"stop when i am full.\" i really hate the feeling of being stuffed. tonight, however, that rule was out of the window. i ate until i felt almost ill and i wanted to pass out afterwards. but that's a good thing! the food was that tasty. \n\nthe roast pork was extremely tender, the provolone extra sharp, and the long hots provided this amazingly subtle heat. enough kick to be noticeable, but not so overwhelming that it overpowered the rest of the ingredients. i thought the sandwich was a hair too salty for my taste, but i am very salt sensitive. i really don't include much salt in my diet. (so take that criticism with a grain of salt!)\n\ni should have stopped at half, but i forced my self to eat almost the whole thing. i just couldn't stop. i kept saying, \"one more bite,\" until it was almost gone.\n\nMy goal right now is to try everything on the menu. There is not an item on the chalkboard over $8, so that shouldn't be that hard.", "i have heard so much about the original place in nolibs that i was so stoked to see this place open in my neck of the woods. i love a good sandwich, but i am lazy and hate going to nolibs. went there last night, it was empty, we went near the end of their day. i was so excited and a little incapacitated so i ended up with the meatloaf, when i thought i ordered the lasagna. rookie move, ordering while excited. my main squeeze got the artista. \nit took a little while for our order to come up, but obviously you don't rush these sandwiches. this is how good they are: we ordered hot sandwiches to go on a freezing night, ran/walked home 10 minutes and they were still some of the best sandwiches i have ever eaten. even after a delay, that lowered their temp and made the bread a little soggy. i mean come on, a sandwich that can withstand that and still impress me, is worth every penny. the flavors were amazing and the size was intimidating. i forced myself to complete it in one sitting, then lay on the couch for an hour blissed out by the tasty experience. so yeah man, i like this place and you will too. go on and get some.", "I haven't been to the original but I stopped in on a busy Saturday lunch-hour; the place was packed and people were hawking tables.\n\nThey have a good selection of hot/cold sandwiches, a soup, salad, even lasagna. There was a lamb sausage sandwich w/sundried tomatoes that sounded good, as well as a roast pork classic made with suckling pig.\n\nI had a Tuscan Tony - hot dog wrapped in proscutti, with a long hot and bolognese sauce...this was the Italian answer to the chili dog and worth the $5. Cartoon of this dog is posted in the photos section.\n\nOn another occasion I split the Daddy Wad, their version of a classic Italian hogie; served on a Sarcone's roll, it was OK...not as much veg/lettuce as I would've liked but the cheese was sharp and the meat was good quality. At $8, it wasn't really that great.\n\nIf you're looking for some interesting hot sandwiches and you're not in the mood for Bebe's BBQ, then this is a reliable stop in the Italian Market.", "I tried the Paesano as well as the Fried Meatloaf. Havent been to the original on girard.\n\nBoth sandwiches were good. Expected the egg to be a bit overwhelming on the Paesano but it was perfect. Brisket was tasty as well could have used some more horseradish. Cash Only, and great neighborhood and view from the seats. \n\nMeatloaf sandwich left a little to be desired. Meatloaf was dry and very breaded. I admired the suckling pig on the menu but didnt get it. I dont know why but I dont know if Id be able to live with myself after it... gotta get over that for food's sake.\n\nLet's be honest though... who gives a crap about the sandwiches when a restaurant boasts RC Cola Stewart's Rootbeer and Black Cherry Wishniak. I havent seen these since the magical soda machine that was at my grade school.", "Love love love their Gustaio. I still can't pronounce it correctly but I sure do appreciate it! I love the Christian St Paesano's, its open and relaxed but simple like their Girard place. There are a few new items and specials as well. If you're someone who loves food with textures and a combination of flavors, try the Gustaio. Meat lovers, the Zawzeech will have you in a coma. I'll be trying something new every time I got there which shouldn't be difficult since my work is 3 blocks away - jackpot!", "I have to admit I am really picky about sandwiches. Being born in NY, I grew up with tons of great delis and sandwich institutions. I am always on the lookout for a good one - great bread, good mix of toppings/items, a little different from the usual, great flavor, plus reasonable prices, etc... \n\nBut after recently visiting Paesano's, I am happy to say I will be enjoying many more sandwiches here now! I was thoroughly impressed with the vibe of the little store - I love the chalkboard menus, the simple decor, the soda fountain (which includes Cherry Soda!), and of course the food. \n\nMy fiance and I were really impressed with what we ordered - Gustaio (lamb sausage and cherry mostarda) and the Bolognese (fried lasagna with egg!)\n\nSince it's no frills, the prices are really affordable, but you get more than what you pay for, in my opinion. A great addition to the neighborhood and a GREAT change from the typical hoagie joint." ]

[ "Way back in once upon a time time, I saw a blogger friend write a blog post about this amazing coffee shop in South Tampa. It was the first time I'd heard of Jet City, and I must admit, I was just a *tad* jealous of all of the scrumptious looking things she got to try (like the Cafe Borgia!). \n\nAs time went on, I forgot about the post, forgot about Jet City, and forgot what a \"Borgia\" even was. I never made it down to check the place out, and continued dividing my coffee adventures between home and chain shoppes. \n\nUntil.... that glorious day.... when I read in the Seminole Heights Patch....that Jet City Espresso.... planned to open up another location.... IN MY LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD!\n\nWhen I found out that it would be just steps away from my home and work, I kissed the 'Bucks farewell and decided to go local for the rest of my coffee days. Jessica, the owner of both locations, isn't new to the coffee business. She is a true coffee entrepreneur, having shops both in Tampa and in Seattle.\n\nIt's easy to miss Jet City as you're traveling along Florida Avenue. At first glance, it's just another bungalow, until your eye catches the neon sign indicating you've reached coffee mecca. There is ample parking in two back lots, and entrances on either side of the house.\n\nWhen you first walk in, you're greeted by the scents of freshly brewed Seattle's best coffee and espresso, cozy tables, chairs and couches, music playing over head (and sometimes in person!), and other traditional Seminole Heights touches, like a fireplace, real wooden floors and natural light from surrounding windows. You're also guaranteed to receive a friendly, personal greeting from behind the counter, as everyone always makes the extra effort to make you feel as though you're walking into their own homes.\n\nPastries like scones, muffins, cookies and cakes (many of which are gluten free and/or Paleo!) line the counter, and gourmet quiches, salads and other desserts are proudly propped inside the the refrigerated display case. A large chalkboard hangs on the wall with hand-written menu items that make your mouth water as you peruse the options. Candy bar themed lattes (think Almond Joy and Milky Way!), cafe con leche, bacon and Gouda quiches, Sante Fe Salads, wraps, sandwiches, and even gluten free French toast make an appearance! Although Jet City's known for their signature drinks (remember to try a Cafe Borgia!) they offer a wide variety of treats to compliment the hand-made creations. \n\nThe next time you're in the lovely Seminole Heights neighborhood, stop by and say hello to Jessica and the awesome staff at Jet City. Order a freshly prepared hot or cold beverage, pull up a chair, and sit down with a good book (or your laptop- they have free WiFi!). Believe me, it will be the highlight of your day!", "If you know me, you know that I love everything Seminole Heights. Jet City is no exception.\n\nSo, I live a block from here. After a neighborhood party, a bunch of friends and neighbors decided to meet up for breakfast at Jet City this morning. It was a great decision!\n\nThe owner and other staff are so nice. You can tell that they take pride in their coffee and treats. They were very friendly and willing to explain anything.\n\nThe atmosphere is very home-y and much bigger than I expected. The breakfast scones were delicious and the coffee that I got was great. It's great to have another local business opening here and hopefully will take some of the business from the craziest Starbucks ever right up the street.\n\nI definitely would like to come back for brunch as I saw some really delicious looking salads and sandwiches for sale. Yet another lovely addition to the best neighborhood in the world.", "I've never made it over to the original South Tampa location but had been hearing great things. I immediately headed over here today when I saw via some friends' social media updates that the new location in Seminole Heights was opened. \n\nCan I tell you how happy I am to have a non-Starbucks within close proximity? Because I'm thrilled. Jet City Espresso was exactly what our neighborhood was missing. They made a wise choice to set up shop in an area with flourishing mom and pop businesses. I have no doubt they'll be bombarded with customers at this location.\n\nThe atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Since it's in a old house, you really want to just hang out and linger all day. To drink, I tried their signature Borgia coffee made with a touch of orange and a dollop of whip cream. So perfect. \n\nThe food looks phenomenal. I eyed a nearby table's salads and wraps as they were delivered. The gluten free goodies lining the counter also looked quite tempting.\n\nAs I was leaving, the owner Jessica stopped me to ask me my name and introduce myself. What a great touch! \n\nLooking forward to becoming a regular here. Thanks JCE for realizing you'd be right at home in the Heights.", "I haven't reviewed in a while, but Jet City's newest location has inspired me to come out of Yelp hiding. First, let's talk about Jessica, the owner. I think most of us aspire to the level of passion and happiness Jessica cultivates every day. Her welcoming enthusiasm and always genuine graciousness makes visiting her cafe a 5-star experience the second you walk through the door. If you don't feel like part of her family after just a few visits, you haven't had enough of their wonderful espresso concoctions ;) Add another Borgia and you will certainly be convinced. \n\nThe new location offers the same inspired coffee classics my girlfriend and I have been falling in love with since we started visiting her South Tampa location. I personally prefer the Chai latte made with almond milk. If you enjoy powdered donuts, you will love the somehow healthful liquid form. Also making a yummy reappearance at this location, her gorgeous, well balanced (and often surprisingly healthy) paleo and gluten-free treats. I love watching my girlfriend, a celiac sufferer, happily choose amongst the offerings (finally she has options!!). We are waiting to see if her gluten free paleo chocolate lava cake makes an appearance. This is hands down the best chocolate cake I have had in a very long time, across the board. \n\nThe thing that really sets this location apart is the damn near perfect salads and sandwiches. Jessica outdoes herself daily with salads that contain just about everything you are reading about in your health magazines. No dressing necessary for these mixes of hearty lettuces, perfect slow cooked chicken, seeds, and extras like spaghetti squash and exotic rice. I recently had her portobello Gouda melt on a gluten free wrap---amazing. Next, I'm heading for her fish tacos. I am confident they will deliver in freshness, flavor, and wellness. \n\nA major win for Jet City, Jessica, and her team.", "Why 5 stars? Because it's the perfect marriage?\n\n --- --- ---\n\nMy love for Jet City and my neighborhood, have now combined into one. If I could have chosen any business in all of TB to open a location in Seminole Heights, Jet City would be right at the top of the list. And this version is a full-on cafe! \n\nI have my own espresso maker, which provides my caffeine boost on most days. But sometimes, I like to change it up, and unfortunately, Starbucks was the only other option in the neighborhood. And Starbucks is far from my favorite. Far.\n\nI always want to try something different, but the Cafe Borgia is so good that I can't stray! It's one of my all-time favorite coffee drinks :)\n\nJessica, the owner, is probably the nicest human being I've ever met. Even if she's swamped, she will manage to make every person who walks through her doors feel like the only customer in the house. That's a pretty amazing ability, and it's no wonder both locations are rated 5 stars overall.", "Amazing! Will fall in love with just one visit! The Cafe Borgia is unique and delightful (my personal favorite). The food is healthy, creative, and delicious. If you are having a bad day, one quick stop here and Jessica (the owner) will have you leaving with a smile on your face :) Her passion for coffee, food, and life is above and beyond.", "Let me be very candid here......I don't get along well with coffee, but I really enjoy the atmosphere of a traditional coffee house. I have a teensy little issue with that jolt of caffeine which seems to go straight to my brain, and I just know that there is no way in the world that I'm getting to sleep later that night. The next thing you know I'm on my hands and knees with a toothbrush scrubbing the kitchen floor at 3 in the morning. And yet, sometimes I just can't help myself....\n\nThat was the case today when I had the chance to visit the new Seminole Heights location of Jet City Espresso, and had a thoroughly enjoyable time talking with Jessica who is the owner / manager, and one of the very nicest business owners that I've ever met.\n\nIt was late in the afternoon when I pulled into Jet City's parking lot, which is in the alley behind the business. Since they've only been open for about two weeks they don't have a lot of exterior signage, and you need to know where to find this awesome coffeehouse / café. As you drive north up Florida Avenue watch for the intersection of Henry Avenue, which is a few blocks north of Hillsborough. Turn right onto Henry, and then an immediate left into the alley behind the businesses. Jet City is the second business on your left.\n\nI did not realize that Jet City closes up at 4 in the afternoon, but Jessica waved to me as I walked up the ramp, and she had her helper unlock the door and graciously invited me inside. I remembered meeting Jessica at the South Tampa / Hyde Park location ages ago, and we had a great chat about her success with the Jet City stores both in Tampa and in Seattle. I told her that I learned of her new location thanks to Yelp reviews, and she started beaming from ear to ear as she told me how the Yelp response had really helped her to build her business. What a very sweet lady who is extremely passionate and excited about her coffee houses, and anxious to make sure that her customers have a wonderful experience.\n\nEven though it was past closing time, Jessica offered to make me a cup of coffee while we stood there and chatted, and so I ordered a cappuccino. I had enough common sense to ask for just one shot of espresso, because any more than that and I would have been bouncing around like a squirrel on speed. (Trust me, it's not a pretty sight!). She asked if I wanted wet or dry moo foam, and I confessed that I didn't know the difference. Turns out that wet refers to a milkier foam which is poured on top of the espresso, whereas dry is a light stiff foam which she spooned on top of the shot of espresso. It was super delicious, and I really enjoyed my afternoon pick-me-up even though I have already alphabetized all of the cans in my pantry, and I'm now thinking about sorting the frozen foods in my freezer. Blame it on the caffeine! \n\nJessica introduced me to her baker, and we talked a few moments about the creative and super yummy cookies, muffins, sandwiches, and salads on the menu. I will definitely be back to enjoy a breakfast muffin or a lunch-time sandwich along with a fruit smoothie or some hot tea.\n\nHer menu has all types of coffee drinks including the traditional espressos, macchiatos, cappuccinos, lattes, café con leches, and so on. Jet City serves flavored espresso specialties, including their signature drink - Café Borgia which is made with espresso, a touch of honey & orange blossom, steamed moo juice, fresh whipped cream, nutmeg & orange zest. She also has hot teas, hot cocoa, fruit smoothies, and more.\n\nThis café / coffeehouse is adorable, and you can tell they are quickly developing a very friendly neighborhood vibe that will be a huge hit with the people living in Seminole Heights, as well as for those of us who drive up and down Florida Avenue.\n\nI am very happy to help promote a local business which is building a customer base in their community, and especially pleased to support a lady who is so genuinely happy and excited about her spectacular small business. Thank you Jessica, and three cheers for Jet City's newest location!\n\nAnd now if you'll please excuse me it's time for me to climb up on my coffee table and perform a 3-hour air guitar solo extravaganza to the greatest hits of Def Leppard. The caffeine is calling me again, and it's time to Pour Some Sugar.....", "A-mazing! My boyfriend and I see Jet City Espresso on our way to work, but never have the time to stop in as we are always running late. Today, we left on time even though we were going into work at a later time than usual-good thing for us as we were able to stop into this wonderful gem of a coffee shop. \n As soon as we walked in Jessica greeted us with a warm smile from ear to ear that I have been missing in coffee shops (seems like people feel the need to be snobbish in coffee shops). I was immediately drawn to the delish' looking gourmet treats, such as Irish Cheddar and Bacon scones and Lavender Chocolate Chip cookies. \n Since it was our first time, we ordered something from their specialties side of the menu. I ordered the Cafe Borgia (espresso, a touch of honey & orange blossom, steamed milk (I chose almond), fresh whipped cream, nutmeg and orange zest). My boyfriend ordered the Almond Joy (espresso, Ghirardelli chocolate, almond & coconut syrup, steamed milk & fresh whipped cream). The most important ingredient in the drinks: the wonderfully genuine conversation we had with Jessica. \n I cannot wait to go back and try all the delicious treats and other wonderful drinks. See you soon, Jessica!", "What a great addition to Seminole Heights!!\n\nI came here on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all- but I can imagine it gets quite packed in the mornings and on weekends. I ordered the portobello sandwich but on a gluten free wrap. I was not disappointed!! So delicious.\n\nI look forward to frequenting here for drinks and more food!", "If you haven't been to the new Jet City Espresso location in Seminole Heights - run, don't walk, and get yourself a Cafe Borgia STAT! I was always a fan of the original location, but this one just goes above and beyond. From the moment you walk in the door it feels like home with plenty of tables, chairs, and couches to sit and relax on. It's a great atmosphere for working on paper or just simply to relax with a good book. I loved the soft music playing in the background and, of course, Jess always makes all the patrons feel at home. I ordered a Cafe Borgia and a mozzarella and basil sandwich. I'll admit the sandwich was a little pricey for the size, but it was all made fresh and was very tasty. Very simple flavors that complemented each other perfectly. For dessert I had a lavender chocolate chip cookie, which was amazing. The cookie was my favorite part of the meal, especially since they warmed the cookie for me. Warm cookie-= winning. The food menu is small and simple, but sometimes we need small and simple. I can't wait to return and enjoy another quiet afternoon reading a book and drinking a Cafe Borgia." ]

[ "The food is alright but I will tell you I love going to watch Colts games at this place. The staff is cool, reasonably priced food and drinks, it is located inside of Circle Centre mall, and it is steps away from where all my friends tailgate before the games! Win win situation.", "I generally hate chains and have been to Champps before, but not this location. Its in a great location and close to the RCA Dome, right in the heart of downtown Indy. It was a good atmosphere for post game partying after the Chargers eliminated the Colts from the playoffs! The Beers were reasonably priced and the potato skins very good.", "The new menu is great. I love the club sandwich! The BBQ is pretty good as well. The drink prices are pretty good as well.", "Best sit down american chain in the area! I haven't had anything here that was bad except maybe the wait at times. The portions are big for what you get, but full of great american goodness. A great place to grab some food or brew while you're shopping in the mall. Best of all, they're open late! Perfect for game nights. Many of times I made the 40-45 min trip from Bloomington to come here!", "Fab Cobb Salad & pretty good Reuben sandwich according to my lunch date, Jason & Kelly were Great, very friendly & helpful!! \nlove the people watching Washington Street patio", "Champps is one of the better sports themed restaurant/bar combos in downtown Indy. Located in the circle center mall right beneath the arts garden, its got a great location that you cant miss when you're strolling around downtown. \n\nThe food is great, everything from huge salads, to sandwiches, burgers, pastas, entrees, even a reserved steak menu. Reasonably priced and huge portions are what make this place worth a try.\n\nThe place is packed with TV's and they play virtually every sporting event you can think of at any given time. Its great during march madness or any sunday if you wanna catch an NFL game. The waitstaff is friendly and hospitable and some really make the experience that much better.\n\nThe bar is a little bit overpriced in my opinion and if you're looking to do some heavy drinking theres definitly cheaper places to do it downtown. They have over 40 beers on tap so the selection is great. Its worth a try if you like sports bar/restaurants and large portions.", "I ate here while in Indy and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of this chain. I had the best Patty Melt I have ever had. It was huge and was sandwiched between two thick slices of grilled rye. Seasoned fries on the side and a cold beer to drink and it was the perfect meal.", "Ate here twice while on vacay in Indy, and loved it. We do have Champp's in MI, but none near where I live and I love the sports bar/good food combo. Anyway, I had a salmon BBQ salmon salad that was AWESOME. Service was perfect both times, and we could watch various games while eating. I don't think my husband could ask for more in a restaurant, LOL. Highly recommend.", "Champps is a great place for a group, or great place to watch a game. The food and service is always consistently good.", "This review is strictly for the bar. We did not order food. We were in town for the Final Four so it was busy. The drinks are moderately priced. The service could use some work. There are a lot of big events downtown, so they should be prepared for this size crowd. I would bet during a nornal day it is a little better." ]

[ "I drive from Muncie to eat here; THAT is how good the food is! This place is SO popular in Texas (and Texans know about some good wings) I urge any Yelper that has a craving for some fresh & delicious wings to go to Wing Stop!\nAlso, I have to mention the fries at Wing Stop. I do not know what kind of yummy crack they sprinkle on the fries, but OMG, the fries at Wing Stop are the BEST!! It's hard to explain how delish they really are. They are fresh cut and they have almost a sweet-salty spice that they are seasoned with. OoooWeee, those fries plus those wings... you can't get any better!\n\nSeriously, Buffalo Wild Wings is just average. Wing Stop blows them out of the water. \n\nGo support your local business owners and eat at Wing Stop!!", "I am lucky in that I only have to drive 10 minutes to get to Wing Stop, which is not to say I would not drive farther. I love wings and will try them just about anywhere, and I do not hesitate to say these are in the top 3 wings I have ever eaten. I have tried all the flavors, and they are all great in their own ways. I usually stick with Atomic and Garlic Parmesan. And then there are the fries...as the other reviewer mentioned, I too believe them to be sprinkled with some sort of addicting substance. If I had to guess the seasoning has some sugar in it, you get sweet notes here and there from it. They also have a cheese sauce for the fries that is a must have. Service is always great, folks there are just plain friendly and engaging. Another huge plus is they are open till Midnight, which for folks like me who are late eaters is a great thing.", "I love love TRADITIONAL chicken wings!! I don't know why there is boneless chicken wings...what's the point it's not really a \"wing\". Wingstop wings are a lot bigger than what you would find at Bdubs and the sauce is whole lot better. I don't like sauce that taste like it came straight out of the bottle, this is not the case at Wingstop. I don't care if they do use the bottle, it TASTE like it was tossed in homemade sauce. You can actually see spices and herbs crusted on the outside of the wings. The original hot is one of my favorite, it's spicy and tangy. The cajun is also really good, similar to the original hot but less saucy and has more of a cajun flavor. The staff there are super friendly. I wanted to try a lot of sauce but did not want to order a lot of wings. Most places require us to order a certain quantity to get different sauces. They agree to give me as much sauce as I want as long as I pay for the extra sauce, which is great because I don't want to get bored with the same two sauce. I will definitely be a regular at this joint!", "Wing Stop is GREAT! Probably my favorite wing place! My friend has worked here for a couple years, but for some reason I never came out to try it. Now that I have, I love it! \n\nAs the other reviewers have mentioned, their fries are indeed laced with crack! The only other place where I've had the salty/sweet/yummy fries like these is Philadelphia Steak & Fries. \n\nLove the interior too - it has an airplane theme which is CUTE! Planes, wings...get it?! ;)", "I love this place. By far the best wings anywhere in Indianapolis!", "Perfect food, the owner remembers my name and that I drive from Broad Ripple. Eat the fries and the rolls. \nfavorite sauce is the cajun and the barbecue.", "My wife and I happened upon Wingstop one day, when we were near the area. We were impressed with the prices when we first walked in, so we decided to try it. Not only is the food delicious, but the prices can't be beat. My wife and I can each get our fill and then some for less than $20!! The wings are delicious, the fries fantastic, and the rolls are amazing!\n\nWe will definitely be back", "Great wings with a much less hectic atmosphere than Buffalo Wild Wings. They also feature a friendlier staff and better prices. The fries are salty and sweet and addictive. The rolls are excellent, fresh and hot. They provide plenty of bleu cheese and ranch and there's no tip factor. My wife and I can eat in the restaurant with our young children. Highly recommended.", "The best wings in Indy!\n\nMade fresh after your order, Wing Stop is budget friendly, fresh and delicious!\n\nWing Stop beats BW3, Hooters and any other specialty wing restaurant. With fresh, homemade dipping sauces, awesome fries and delicious yeast rolls...this is a place for wing lovers indeed!!\n\nMy husband and I strongly recommend the Louisiana Rub!!\n\nOur suggestion: GO! GO! GO!!", "I see your BW3's and raise you a Wingstop! Wingstop is one of the handful of places I googled when I was moving out of California with my fingers crossed and a silent chant of \"please have one, please have one\" YES! Although it is a bit of trek out to the Southside, those that are looking for a great wing, you can quit the search. Wingstop makes everything fresh to order (14 minutes to be exact) and it is worth every minute! I am a wing purist and would never go boneless, if I wanted a chicken nugget I would go elsewhere, like Kindergarten maybe. The only place it is acceptable is their Gliders and that is only because the bones would make the feasting slower. I was an original hot sauce fanatic until I ventured to the Cajun. It's a similar sauce to the hot, with a lingering bite but with added Cajun seasoning over the top. The Louisiana Dry Rub is also one to grab a couple of. The wings always come out hot, crisp, and covered in sauce. Their fries are fresh cut and have a sugar seasoned salt on them (I promise it tastes better than it sounds) grab a small cheese sauce and give them a swim! \n\nStaff is really friendly, prices are reasonable, and oh did I mention they have beer? ..." ]

[ "First of all the prices are too expensive. Secondly the size of the rolls arent realistoc their huge. I tried speaking japanese and using real japanese\nTerms and requesting types of sushi. I tried to have a conversation with the chef in english and i was given mean looks. i felt really uncomfy there. I had high hopes\nFor this place but the food was huge and not sushi it fell apart when i went to pick it up and the samon and fish werent fresh tasted like it was thawed. I didnt try the hibachi. \n\nIf they expect to serve customers they need to show hospitality and pretend they care. Ill never return because of service, price, freshness and not authentic. Avoid unless you like being treated wrongly and ignored!", "Great restaurant! Hibachi was very entertaining and delicious, sushi was also very good. Kind of pricey but no more than similar restaurants of the same style. Also they were very very good with kids.", "the first time i came here i had the sushi it was good nothing mind blowing.i must order the wrong rolls like the bbq eel and snowcrab roll cuz they werent huge lol. the second time i came here i had the hibachi. i liked the hibachi alot cuz of the size of their scallops.\n\ni think the best thing about this restaurant is the music they play and the gong they use when the staff sings happy birthday.", "The food was great (fresh and the menu had an excellent variety), the prices were very reasonable (completely average for any sushi restaurant) and the staff were extremely accommodating (they let us have thirteen separate checks). I would recommend Fuji Hana to anyone looking for lunch on the Westbank.", "While I was super impressed with the Hibachi chef performance, I kind of expect that at *any* Hibachi place. Note that small children, particularly those under 2, may be terrified of the fire tricks. I thought mine would enjoy it... I was wrong. The adults were entertained, though!\n\nFuji Hana isn't really anything incredibly special. They have Hibachi, Sushi, and a list of appetizers. However, it's in a nice location on the Westbank and the staff is exceptionally helpful/friendly. We didn't try the sushi, as I was in a Hibachi mood and the boyfriend suggested this place. Sushi may be warranted for an updated review in the future.\n\nI'm giving them 4 stars instead of an average 3 because they have a cute kids menu, where you can either get kids' Hibachi or a plated meal from the kitchen like chicken teriyaki. Definitely mother-approved, as I don't want my kid to eat chicken nuggets and fries at every restaurant. Her meal of sushi, teriyaki chicken, fried rice, and an orange was perfect, although was a LOT of food. We ended up taking at least half of it home with us.\n\nAlso, like any Hibachi place, it's definitely pricey.", "The meal was a bit expensive but wonderful. Our Hibachi Chef, Cheng was very entertaining but a bit risque for my 14 year old!", "It wasn't my choice to dine here, but Fuji Hana was a very pleasant surprise. They bought over the old Ryans, so it is tremendously spacious on the inside. \n\nMy brother was really dehydrated from cutting weight for his weigh in, our number priority was to get him something to eat asap. The waiter was VERY accommodating by skipping our drink orders and rushing a crunchy roll order for us. He kept an eye on the roll and we literally received our crunchy roll in like 3 minutes. \n\nI can't remember exactly what we ordered, because they picked this restaurant out at the spur of the moment. I'll list what I can remember.\n\nCrunchy Rolls - I won't comment on this since we had to order the easiest roll the chef could make. Im just laughing over the fact that Crunchy rolls was what got me addicted to sushi when I first started hehehe.\n\nBeef Tataki - the visual presentation was different then most places. I thought it looked sort of weird, but it was really tasty.\n\nBaked Mussels - I know mussels are generally pretty rich, but it was extra rich here. A little too much for my taste.\n\nWe also ordered a dish that came with an assortment of raw fishes. All of the raw fish tasted really fresh.\n\nWe ordered about 3 rolls and I'll be honest, I can't remember what 2 of the rolls were, but you've GOT to try their Filet Mignon Rolls! Im usually not a fan of beef on my sushi, but this roll really blew me away.", "I decided to try Fuji Hana one day for lunch, it was a pleasant experience. I ordered hibachi and the food was just OK. I find it odd that their hibachi dishes do not come with rice (has to be ordered separately) but it does come with noodles (very small portion). I couldn't enjoy my salad because I didn't like the sauce. Also the sauces that accompanied my meal weren't the greatest either. Nothing amazing, but a nice reasonably price lunch choice. It was worth a try!", "Popular place, kind of a secret unless you go out alot. TERRIFIC hibachi meal size. \n\nYou get soup, salad, entree, veggies, noodles, and either brown or fried rice. Great portion sizes sure to fill anyone up. \n\nExcellent sushi menu and drink specials also. My boyfriend and I go here quite often, as when you split something, the price is great. We usually get chicken and shrimp and it is a good size for us both.... go at lunch and get an even better deal! Can't beat a filling, delicious lunch for a great price!", "I really like that the Westbank has some good sushi choices: Tennou, Daiwa and I can now add Fuji Hana to the list.\n\nThe atmosphere of this place is a little \"fancier\" than a typical sushi place and this restaurant is extra cool because it also has a hibachi. I didn't get the hibachi, but from what I could tell, they put on quite the show and I think that I'm going to check it out next time.\n\nAll I got when I was here was the Philly roll and the tuna roll and both were really good. I was going to get sashimi, but it's only 3 pieces for a $6 order and I honestly didn't think that it was really worth it. They did have an extensive list of special rolls to try, and they were the same price as a special roll that you would get at any other place.\n\nThe waitress was really attentive, friendly and helpful and even boxed my leftovers for me when I was ready to pay. While I probably wouldn't make Fuji Hana my \"go to\" for Westbank sushi, it is definitely a place worth checking out." ]

There's also a mushroom chimichanga here that will make you roll your eyes in ecstacy.\n\nOH, and once a week, you can catch a mariachi band and a magician! \n\n....RIGHT?!?", "There's obviously just something about Tex-Mex that often brings out the extremes in people. I think it's the limited palette of the genre, maybe; everyone gets all frenzied when making critical judgements, because it's all about details and personal preference after a certain point. I'm from Austin, where the Yelp entries on various city landmarks of fried/larded wonderfulness are basically a flamewar of alternating accolades and curses. The thing is, those places have to deal with a pretty avid customer base with significant options and experience (and don't even get me started on San Antonio). \nCaretta's seems to have it pretty easy. I can't quite account for the love of this place otherwise.\nIn short, this is neither authentic nor good Mexican food. Nor is it even good Tex-Mex. Nor is it even cheap. Nor is it atmospheric, fun, or really anything besides a crappy and wasted trip out to Metairie. Before I lived here, gumbo was pretty much chili, but with fewer peppers and more rice. That's kind of what's going on with Carreta's in the Mexican department. FAIL.", "The white cheese dip and entertainment by Dr. Magic are good. Everything else is not. The \"refried beans\" are odd. They are actually black eye peas.", "I could eat here everyday of the week! The service is always awesome and the cheese and salsa are always flowing!", "Start off with Bagged Chips and jarred salsa add jazzed up minute rice and canned refried beans and thats 80% of their menu. Fajitas were O.K.", "Looove this place! Great chips and queso, friendly servers, quick service and yummy mango margaritas! Steak tacos are delicious! The prices are pretty good, even though the margaritas are kind of expensive.", "Should be two dollar signs and nowhere near as good as northshore carettas. You're better off spending the wasted money on toll to cross the causeway and eat at the real one. All things considered, this place is fine/adequate. We'll leave it at that.", "This is a simple Mexican restaurant. Located along Veterans Highway near Causeway, it's a popular family hangout. \n\nI went on a Thursday, the day that Dr. Magic performed. He's a lab coat clad magician and entertainer. People seemed to love him. But if you don't have kids then Thursday is not a good day to visit la carreta. The restaurant is very loud.\n\nThe food is fine by me--I really enjoyed it. I like their salsa and chips that are provided when you sit down. The beans are meh but not awful. Expect to pay around $8-13 for an entree.\n\nI LOVE their tacos and order them a la carte as my meal. The margaritas are tasty. It's my top choice for good quality Mex food in nola!!!" ]

[ "First impression:\n\n4651 Maryland used to be home to Companion, a favorite bakery and coffee shop to many St. Louisans. We were all disappointed when the location closed, and downright surprised to hear Lester's Sports Bar was moving in. How could a sports pub ever fill the shoes of a beloved bakery?\n\nI'm happy to say that although Lester's is no Companion, it's different, and, at first look, very worthy in its own right. Walk into the eye-catching restaurant -- which sources tell me may break some CWE codes -- and you'll be as impressed as I was upon my first entry: this place is beautiful. A huge bar dominates the main area, TVs abound, and the decor is sleek yet still, well, sporty.\n\nWe came for happy hour, which lasts 4:00 - 6:00pm Monday through Friday and featured $1.50 domestic drafts, $2.00 bottles, $3.00 wells, and half-off appetizers. We decided to try some of the appetizers with our drinks; I found the two flavors of wings to be very tasty and the nachos some of the best I've had in a long while. Everyone seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant, and made special note of the private TV screen sitting at the wall end of our table.\n\nThere's a gorgeous rooftop here, although it was a little too warm to enjoy it. Before long, probably as the weather cools down, I hear, they'll open a second bar up top. It isn't huge, so expect it to be a very crowded locale in not much longer.\n\nOur professional and friendly server, Carl, talked to us a little bit about the new location; apparently, the CWE location is classier and more upscale than the others, which I haven't seen (Lester's is a three-location chain). The employees all seemed excited for the grand opening, and I don't blame them -- the restaurant is pretty slick.\n\nDo keep an eye on Lester's over the next few weeks, because it's definitely an establishment to watch. Competition will be stiff on a few fronts, I have a hunch, but as at least one colleague remarked over a frosted glass, we've all found a new go-to spot when the big game's on.\n\nWelcome to the neighborhood, Lester's!", "Run of the mill. Just like bar louie down the street but newer and better decorated. Got the wings... they still had feathers in them! DISGUSTING!!! I would have said something but it wasn't the waiters fault, and he was just as new as everyone else. Its okay, good sports bar, and seems to have a good happy hour.", "Though I'm not a sports bar kind of gal, this place is as nice as sports bars tend to get. The individual screens at most tables are a huge plus since we were the only Florida State fans in the place when we visited to watch a game. They play background music so it's not too loud to carry on a conversation over the din of the music. The restaurant also has a lot of windows so it's light and spacious. We didn't check out the upstairs patio but hear that was a nice addition in their new space. The food was decent but not superb. I had the Cobb Salad which was available only with romaine lettuce (no field greens) and my fiance had the turkey club which came with nothing (no mayo, cheese, veggies) on it -- seemed strange to us. Not gonna lie, though, that their artichoke dip was pretty good.", "New. Great decor. Nice rooftop deck. Plenty of flat screens. Great BBQ nacho with baked beans. Limited menu for vegetarians.", "Went to watch the MU - OU football game Saturday night and wasn't that impressed. It's amazing how many places want to call themselves a \"Sports Bar\" but then don't have any clue what that means. I know it was a Saturday night, but I would guess 90% of the crowd was there for the MU game - so what are they doing??? Playing some kind of crappy music... We had to beg them to turn on the sound for the game. We then tried to get them to turn 1 TV away from another game that was a 30pt blowout and switch to a more competitive game and they wouldn't do it. That wasn't even the worst of things. We had people show up 2 hrs early to get a table for 10 and they told them that if they wanted a table they would have to ask the 2 people to leave who had been cut off but wouldn't get up. The manager or waitress wouldn't do it - they wanted US to go and do it. Incredible.\n\nThe food was ok and they have plenty of tv's that are High Def (unlike Bar Louie which is the dumbest thing ever...) so we'll probably give them 1 more try.", "This was my second time at Lester's and both times I was unhappy with my food. The decor is lovely and the rooftop patio is a good addition for the area, but the food is just barely adequate.\n\nThe first time we went during happy hour and the service was great. About 15 ppl came to check and see how we were doing. Decent beer selections although they were out of about half of them (including all the seasonals). I'll chalk that up to opening week jitters. The wings were under-cooked and fatty. I threw away half of them because I couldn't stomach it. The pretzel was too salty to eat. The barbeque sliders were good but I would never pay full price ($11 for a appetizer).\n\nThe second time we went for a late afternoon lunch. It was on a Saturday with the Card's first playoff game so I was already prepared for busy. We happily sat outside to avoid the noise. I ordered the Cobb salad and was very disappointed. This was a $11.50 salad. I was expecting actual lettuce not shredded iceberg. I felt like I was eating the inside of a taco with all the good stuff missing. The egg and tomato were half frozen tasting and everything about it made me sad. I think there needs to be some pretty delicious meat on a salad for it to be more than $10. I actually asked the waitress for more lettuce because the ''bowl' was about half an inch deep. It was absolutely not worth the price. I know CWE is \"high-end\" but come on. At least give me decent food. My boyfriend ordered the hamburger which he thought tasted okay but there was an up-charge for french fries. The fries were shoe-string style that turned cold within a minute of us getting our food. To top off our experience it took over 35 minutes for us to get our check after all our plates had been cleared. Our waitress actually left and was eating outside at a different restaurant as we were leaving. \n\nI'm sure I'll go back to check out the roof top patio but I think I'll just stick to drinking.", "How do you make a sports bar upscale and classy? You let Lester do it. \n\nI have always been a big fan of Lester's in Ladue and was excited when I heard the news of them opening a third location in the CWE. I was hoping he'd give the CWE location a different twist and he did not disappoint. They still have the same fantastic bar grub, but it is just served in a more upscale and classy venue. This will be the place to watch Mizzu and Rams games. Also, now that the Cards are in the playoffs, besides the stadium, Lester's will be the place to be. \n\nOne of my all time favorite things at Lester's is the chicken wings. I always order the Garlic Lemon Pepper and request that they be done just a little crisper then the norm. For me and my friends, it just seems to lock the flavor in more. No need for dipping these wings, their seasoning needs no condiments. \n\nLester's also serves up some true New York Deli style sandwiches. His pastrami hits the spot when paired up with a side of fries.\n\nOn the recent visit, we tried the Chopped Chef Salad and it was awesome. It includes Romaine and Iceberg lettuce, house smoked turkey, honey baked ham, bacon, tomato, red onion, hard boiled egg, cucumber tossed with your dressing of choice and topped with seasoned croutons, cheddar & provolone cheese. Not being fans of Iceberg lettuce and provolone cheese, we asked if they could use all romaine lettuce and use more cheddar instead of the provolone cheese and they were more then happy to accommodate our request. \n\nI love forward to future lunches and happy hours at the CWE Lester's. \nIt is a great addition to the Maryland Plaza mix.", "I'm actually pretty surprised by all the negative reviews. Lester's is pretty new, so maybe they are constantly making improvements.\n\nWent here a couple weeks s ago for the qualifying Cards vs. Astros/Phillies vs. Braves games for who will go into the playoffs. So they were pretty busy. As a result, service was pretty slow and our food was kinda lukewarm when it got to us - no doubt a result of how packed the place was.\n\nI don't recommend the bavarian pretzel - it was obviously a microwaved frozen prepackaged pretzel that was way too salty for my taste. \n\nDevin had a french dip sandwich and said it was pretty tasty.\n\nThey have a pretty good selection of beers, including some seasonals (but no Schlafly Pumpkin ale :( ).\n\nThe real winner here was the SWEET POTATO FRIES. Aaaaahmazing. These are hands down the best I've ever had.. Even better than Pappy's. I get cravings for them. So addictive.\n\nThe next visit was better - Devin and I went recently with his family from Wisconsin to watch the Packers.\n\nMuch better this time! It wasn't so busy as it wasn't a big STL day, and the service was great. Our server Beth was fabulous. Devin's cousins brought their two small children, and Beth was great with them, so I would definitely call this a family-friendly place. Devin was so impressed with Beth that he found the manager afterwards and told him so. So A+ for service.\n\nWe got an appetizer sampler. The chicken wings are delicious - juicy and flavorful with sauce on the side, but I didn't think it needed any. But you can get lemon pepper or buffalo sauce. T-ravs were great, ribs were decent, but I'd say this is not a place to go if you're looking for awesome barbecue. But it gets the job done.\n\nMac and cheese was actually pretty good. Very creamy and yummy.\n\nOf course got the sweet potato fries and they were just as delicious as before.\n\nThe staff is pretty accommodating as far as changing a TV by you if there's a game you want to watch. And yes, they are in hi-def.\n\nTheir rooftop is pretty neat. It's like a mini 360. Not a good place to go for watching a game, though, as they don't have sound on the TVs up there. So go here if you want to take your girl out to a romantic rooftop dinner, while you stealthily look over her shoulder at the game while she talks.\n\nDevin and I really like Lester's. It's a really classy establishment for what it is. Because it's so close (and we don't have cable to watch the games) we will likely find ourselves here a lot. You should check it out, too. =]", "I'm not usually a huge sports bar fan, but occasionally have cravings for bar food as much as the next person. Went to Lester's last month with a friend and sat on their awesome roof deck. The wings were fantastic. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and meaty on the inside, with just the right amount of spice. Their shoe-string fries were also delicious. \n\nI'm not sure I would enjoy sitting inside as much, as it is super crowded with sports fan crowds and families with kids, which makes it pretty loud. Also, if you're not a huge sports fan, it's impossible to escape the TV monitors. They're everywhere. But it looks like that's what they are going for, so I guess they do what they do well.", "I've seen other venues come an go in this location, so when I seen the construction and the added rooftop bar, I was really excited to try this place out. My boyfriend and I went one day and we were empressed. From the decor to seating, it was nice. Our food was good too. We went after attending a Ram's game and we tried the ribs, chicken appetizer. The drinks were good. We've since been several times afterwards and was pleased each time. It was only once where we had a slow waiter who did not check on us frequently as he should have. One of my staff told him as a tip, she would teach him how to check on his patrons, LOL. It was all said in fun, though.\n\nNevertheless, the food was good and the service has been as well. I will continue to visit this place because it is my boyfriend's newest fav spot." ]

[ "Pizza by the slice in the humble ghost kitchen of Beddia's. This reincarnated pizza shop is located in the holy space vacated by the Pizza King himself. And yet they manage to fill those behemoth shoes! These Pizza Shackamaxon guys have done an amazing job. Honestly, the pizza is phenomenal. Here's why it's better than its predecessor:\n1) Accessibility. It's open wed-sat from 12-8 on W/Th and 12-10 on Fri/Sat. You can buy by the slice and there's no obnoxious line.\n2) They're super friendly and they Let You Use Credit Cards, like every other sane business owner out there! \n3) The crust is to die for. Crisp, not oily, not too salty, slightly charred.\n4) The tomato sauce is not sweet. It's a perfect medley of crushed, not-too-tart tomatoes. \n5) Their \"special\" slices are ridiculously good. They make the best caramelized onions I've ever had on a pizza. \n\nIn short, this place is a blessing to the neighborhood. It's mostly take-out, they only sell slices (no drinks, but there is free water) and you don't have to wait three hours and buy a whole pie. Regular slices $4, special $5. Go now!!!", "Wow! When Pizza Beddia closed and this place opened there was no difference. Very surprising how good the special veggie pizza was! Had to get the tomato pie, pepperoni, and special. Hopefully they sell pies in the future!", "We went here thinking it was Pizzeria Beddia but were told he closed and they took over. Pizza looked good so we tried it. And it was super duper tasty! We got a slice of each of their pies. They only make certain kinds certain days but unlike Beddia, they don't close when they run out of dough.. they just make more... Thank the pizza gods! Every slice was great. And the guys behind the counter were very nice and informative. Wish I was there now actually.", "I got a plain slice today. It was $5 with tax but was almost the size of 2 slices so I feel that I got my money's worth. It tasted good and I'll be back to try other flavors. Bonus: the guys working there called me miss instead of ma'am", "Really good pizza. I bit saucy on occasion (pepperoni). The special pies are always great. Only wish I could customized the whole pie experience, its new but has a lot of promise!", "I loved it. The crust is thin, crisp and flavorful. The special, with squash and tomatoes was sweet and savory. The pepperoni spicy, cheesy and tangy. The plain was worthy condentor for plain 'za. It was delicious but my least favorite of the offerings.", "Simply awesome. We got a half plain half pepperoni and it was on point. Staff was friendly and service was good. All around an easy 5 stars.", "Their tomato pie is best I've had in Philly, but the plain pie is no slouch: thin crust, cooked well, flavorful sauce. I'd put it up against any slice. These guys are a worthy successor to Beddia, no doubt.", "The plain slice was super delicious. The special slice which had peppers and onions was even more delicious. I expected to encounter some artisanal douchiness, but thankfully there was none. Just friendly faces.", "Pizza Shackamaxon is in the house of Beddia which recently closed/moved. We stopped in Wednesday before heading to the shore. The girl working the counter and the pizza guy were super friendly. We ordered 3 slices for the road and 2 diet cokes. \n\nThe slices themselves were pretty darn good. The cheese to sauce ratio was spot on and flavorful. It's a thin crust pizza and it's so light and crispy. The crust was a bit too well done for my liking. There is a fine line between color, flavor and burnt. At $4.00 a slice it's a bit much but it's a quality slice. There is limited seating in the place and they offer very limited drinks. We will stop back in though, solid 4 stars." ]

[ "After noticing that Larry's had opened up a few months ago, we stopped by here in hopes of some delicious sandwiches. Ask and ye shall receive! Larry's has generous serving sizes, filling, hearty food, reasonable prices, and fast service. These guys sure do know how to blaze through a line! There's a counter to sit at, but most people seem to do takeout. Bonus points for the small parking lot they've got going on. We got regular-sized hoagies (priced between $6-$7), which each must've been about a foot-long. The bread is soft, yet sturdy enough to withstand the huge amounts of filling they pack in there. You get a few free toppings from the menu too; always nice. Whether the fillings were cooked or cold, they were fresh and delicious. If you're looking for a solid hoagie experience, Larry's has you covered.\n\nI'm a little scared to try the belly filler, or even gaze upon it with my mere mortal eyes.", "Got one order of fries, onion rings, one house cheesesteak with everything, and one buffalo cheesesteak (with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese). The sandwiches were made to order, big, and delicious! The buffalo cheesesteak had a nice spice to it. The fries and onion rings were just okay - seemed like they might have been frozen and come out of a bag. Service was quick and friendly-enough. Everything cost about $25. The space is rather basic with outside tables and just a few stools inside. Beware the bathroom faucet, though - doesn't seem to want to turn off...", "In a city like Philadelphia, you do not have to go far for pizza, steaks and hoagies. We Philadelphians are not the type to be like, \"Ooh let's hop on the L and go to this place since it's 'the best.'\" Yeah right. Unless it completely sucks (which it won't thanks to good ol' American capitalism and competition), we're going for what's closest or, in most cases, the best place within delivery range. That is how I discovered Larry's. \"Home of the Belly Filler,\" Larry's steaks have helped me nurse many a hang over, a heart ache and a hell yeah let's have steak sandwiches with fried onions and mayo tonight baby! I thought I could polish off a belly filler on my own during one particularly difficult night which I don't want to talk about, but that sucker was HUGE! My deal: Steak sandwich, slice of cheese pizza to eat on the way to wherever I'm going to eat the steak sandwich, chocolate chip cookies to dip in milk after. Pretty sweet right? (See my posts on how much yoga I do). Not really a sit down place especially when it's cold out - only limited counter seating, but a fast and reliable joint to order ahead and pick up or have delivered. Of the 3 places within a 4 block radius, Larry's is my absolute favorite, and even though I've sampled plenty of places in Philly and the surrounding 'burbs, I actually look forward to Larry's. The best? Well, let me pull a Bill Clinton here and clarify what \"best\" means. Tasty, flavorful meat, artisan cheese and legendary service? No. Quality meat and cheese that tastes delicious, and warm service that feels like home? Yes. Didn't answer your question about \"best\" did I? Exactly.", "I was driving down Girard Ave with friends on a weekday. We were really craving Pats or Genos, but didnt want to drive out that way. We stopped in at Larry's, and let me tell you, just as good as Pats or Genos. We ordered a 2 foot cheese steak and slip it between 4 people. At first I thought it wouldn't be enough because we were starving. But it was very filling. I probably wouldn't have been able to eat another steak. \n\nSeating available outside, and bar stools inside. Friendly cooks. Quick service. Awesome cheesesteaks. What more could u ask for?\n\nI'm definitely taking my husband here next time we're in the mood for cheese steaks!", "After getting 10 menus in my door I thought this was a signal from God so order we did. Ordered the cheesesteak (I didn't eat but was told very good) & pepperoni Stromboli. A bit greasy but super fast delivery and would deff. try again!", "Second time I had problems with their delivery. First time was a very rude delivery driver, and this time I placed an order at 9:41pm, they confirmed it and said it would be delivered by 10:35. At 11 I called to see where my order was, and was informed that they cancelled my order and were now closed. Plenty of other places in the neighborhood without having to deal with this nonsense.", "Larry's Steaks is responsible for the worst customer service experience I've ever had in the food industry. Don't get me wrong-- their sandwiches and cheesesteaks are actually quite good, but do not attempt to try what they call pizza. I ordered a chicken and broccoli pizza only to open the box to find that the entire layer of \"cheese\" had completed shifted to one side of the pie (I put the term 'cheese' in quotes as this was in reality a blob of lumpy cheese swimming in a pool of oily liquid). And when a piece that actually had cheese was picked up, the fat and slippery mound of cow bi-product merely slid off the piece. Horrible. I will say though, the chicken topping was quite good!\n\nSo I attempted to return the pie and in the process I asked for some delicious fried foods to replace my order. The cook insisted that the pizza was \"supposed to be that way\" arguing that \"they all come out that way\". I repeated my polite request for some mozzarella sticks and fries, and he stared at me blankly, refusing to make right the terrible monstrosity he called food. He began giving me attitude as if I was the crazy one in this situation, so I merely left and made sure to leave the pie as well. I received no refund. \n\nEven though I live just a few blocks away, I will never eat at Larry's Steaks again.", "Worst steak ever!!!\n\nThe amount of grease is just insane. The steak was so greasy that in the few minutes it took me to get home the roll was completely saturated in grease and could not be picked up. Not only was the roll completely saturated but the grease puddled so badly in the bottom of the bag that it ripped. I had to throw it in the garbage. Completely inedible.", "I've been to the original one off of City Line after hearing people say it's one of the best in the city. That was a few years ago. I recently just moved into the neighborhood of this location and saw there was another Larry's. I thought it was time to reintroduce myself to this cheesesteak. I got the traditional whiz with fried onions. I should have done like Kramer did in Seinfeld and snubbed it. If this location is anything like the original, then the people who claim this is one of the best places need to forfeit their Cheesesteak card. The roll was ok; it wasn't terrible, but not great either. The steak itself had no real signature taste that you're looking for from a \"top spot\". The meat wasn't anything special. I feel like I've had that kind at any local pizza joint in the area. There must have been a whiz shortage there because there wasn't much on it. The open half of the steak didn't have any, and only when you got to the inside of the steak is when you could taste it. The onions were chopped very small and barely influenced the taste of the sandwich. All in all I was disappointed in it, especially since I live so close. For being such a well known place, it certainly wouldn't make a Top 10 list.", "Their pizza sucks. Thought I was ordering from somewhere else and ordered here accidentally. Soggy $17 pizza.

I can't wait until I come back.", "Having an amazing sandwich as I type this review! All fresh ingredients - including the bread. Takes 2 hands to eat it. The chef is from Naples, Italy and it shows in the food. The rest of the staff is super friendly. I will definitely return. I can't wait to try the pizza....", "Man, I get having your friends and families write some reviews to get some traction on Yelp, but having a bunch of 5 star reviews from first time reviewers makes any new business look a little shady, especially when the reviews don't have much substance. Makes it look like they're trying too hard, instead of letting natural reviews take hold.\n\nIn any case, these slightly shilish reviews made me want to check this place out, even if I had a slightly sour taste in my mouth going in.\n\nI had seen that there was some work going on in this space (formerly Rugierri's) a month or so ago, but it fell off my radar. Space is pretty much the same - they've got 3 pairs of small tables up front (set up basically as 3 four-tops). Obviously not looking to have a lot of dine-in business, but mainly to go. A large, empty counter dominates most of the space, and the space feels a bit unfinished, with plain walls, no interior decorations, etc, so no ambience to speak of but not a big deal for me. The kitchen is viewable behind the counter.\n\nLooks like they're tied to the Peluso's in King's Beach, though not sure if it's same owners or what.\n\nI ordered a 9\" clam Florentine ($8.30) and an escarole salad ($6) to go. Who knows why I ordered to go - I'm usually pretty anti-togo (why bother bringing home trash, when I can just dine in comfort out?). Order was prepared quick, probably around 10 minutes, though they said it'd be 15.\n\nThe pizza was solid - fantastic thin crust, with generous amounts of chopped clams, and flavors blending nicely. Salad was fine as well - lots of escarole, with a few thin slices of tomato, salami, and a decent provolone. The balsamic vinaigrette seemed to be house made. Looking over the menu, the pizzas look to be somewhere in the middle - not quite on the level of the fancy, wood-fired pizza options in town (i.e. Campo and Southcreek) but solid thin Napoletana style. Solid pies, and I feel like their personal pie prices are very fair - looks like anywhere from $6 to $10-ish.\n\nSome new business kinks - I noticed when I got home no napkins or anything. I'm assuming they'll offer napkins, red pepper and Parmesan packets, plasticware, etc for to go orders. I'm not dinging them for this, as I can make due without that stuff.\n\nLooking forward to trying out a grinder there too . . . . seems very reasonably priced at $7 for a 9\".\n\nI'm glad to see this new addition to the neighborhood, and will try and stop in again in the future.", "This location has been through the ringer. This may be the 4th restaurant to open in the last 5 years....I don't know if it is cursed but it does have it's challenges, limited seating being the primary issue. But I think Peluso's has a solid business model to succeed here. They offer take n' bake pizzas, grinders, subs and traditional pies which I'm sure will be popular with the students at Reno High. During my visit I was in a hurry so I ordered a meatball sub with mozzarella and green peppers, to go. The order was up in about 6 minutes and I was on my way. The sub was huge and their were ample meatballs. I'm a strong eater and this $8.50 sub tested my mettle. I thought the sandwich was good but unfortunately the meatballs were pretty dry. They really wanted for moisture which is the primary reason I can't give them 4 stars. Solid 3 stars for this new entrant into the west Reno market.\n\nI look forward to trying Peluso's again and sampling the menu.

Great french roll, tasty meatballs and zesty sauce. I think ill get a side of sauce to go next time since the sandwich was a little dry without it. One of these days ill need to try something else on the menu.", "THIS is a true neighborhood pizza joint like you'd find back East. Great pizza, IMHO easily the best in Reno. The meatballs are made from scratch, and they make their own bread for their toasted subs and grinders. Come hungry if you order a sando.

This place rocks, staff friendly and a must visit!! \n\nThere are about 5 tables to sit and eat at inside, we took everything to go!!", "If you like NY/NJ style pizza. \nA nice thin crust with light cheese, this place is a great place to try.\nThe only complaint I have is the tables, even 2 rows in, gets a blast of cold air, every time the door opens. And, fortunately, they are busy, but, that means the door opens all the time!\nThe prices are decent, the staff is friendly and the pizza, is among the best in Reno. \nGranted, pizza is a personal preference. Some pizza I hate, others love it. You should go here and find out for yourself why I and my dad really like this place.\n\nFor the summer, they have outdoor seating!\n\nSuggestions: \nA barrier by the door to help keep the cold winter's air from freezing that first table. (this is what kept it at a 4 star rather than a 5 star)\nA soda fountain", "My second visit was a great success. Ordered a large pie and chose my own ingredients. The pizza was ready in 20 minutes as they predicted and was everything I expected. The crust is light and crunchy, the ingredients appear to be fresh and the prices are noticeably lower than their competition. Peluso's has a unique selection of gourmet pies and on my next visit I'm ordering the the Florentine with Clams. Not many Reno pizza places offer clams so it's worth noting. \n\nGlad these guys have come to the neighborhood!" ]

[ "I performed here this past Friday (March 6, 2009) at their Artists on the Avenue that takes place on the first Friday of every month. Artwork from a selected local artist is displayed, there is free wine for anyone who comes in, and the best part--local musicians perform! I was invited by a good friend of mine who is an artist and art teacher at a local middle school and felt very privileged to take advantage of this experience. The shop itself is small but there is seating outside for those who choose to do so. I would love to come back again!", "Food was good, service was fast and friendly. Prices are a little expensive compared to say the Great American. Very nice atmosphere.", "I love this place...\n\nWhether it is stopping in for a quick cup of coffee, wandering down there for lunch after shoveling out the driveway or stumbling down there with a hangover trying to get some breakfast. The people are always friendly and make sure everything is good.", "I'm giving this place 3 stars because the staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is awesome and I can go there and bring my dog and eat outside. The menu is decent. I ordered the sausage gravy biscuits once and I guess they figured I wouldn't notice that my gravy was on a hamburger bun. I ate it anyways because the gravy is pretty damn good. The one thing that really troubles me is that the coffee is terrible. I've even talked to others at The Cafe who've stated the same thing, \"that place is pretty good but the coffee is awful\". Seriously. The gas station has better java. And really, folks, that's the only reason I don't frequent this place on a regular basis. I need imbibable brew.", "The best thing about this place is the service. The people who work there are always friendly, and come to think of it, it seems to spread to all of the customers; I've never seen a grumpy guest there. \n\nIt's a bit of cultural hub, showcasing and selling local art and scented candles made in Langhorne. I really enjoy the atmosphere. It's comfy, clean, and attracts all kinds. The place seems to be run by people who are aware, inviting, and proud of what they do. I recommend this place to all locals and passers-through.\n\nThe downsides are there, but they are few: The worst thing about this place is the size. There's seating room for maybe 30-35 people, and it feels full when it's at half-capacity. We've never had a problem finding a seat, but this place would surely benefit from added space.\n\nAnother thing that makes me groan all too regularly is the skimping on portion sizes. For $2, I expect far more than a few forkfuls of homefries, delicious as those forkfuls may be. Is there some kind of potato famine in Langhorne? Also, I've had to wonder on occasion as to whether the cheese in my supposedly cheese omelet is actually there or simply implied. And this isn't coming from some over-indulgent Golden Corral fan. I'm an agnostic -- if I don't see or taste that it's there, I can't vouch for its existence\n\nAll in all, a treat.", "This place is super laid back, which I love, and the food has never disappointed me. I have only had breakfast here though and not lunch but I cannot imagine lunch would suddenly suck. \n\nPros -\nServe yourself coffee\nOutside seating\nGood food\nFriendly service\nInteresting people\nInteresting decor\nLOCAL ART!\n\nCons -\nThe space, it needs to be bigger. Or different types of tables, or something. I feel claustrophobic when it is packed, which it often is.\nThe service can be, it is not always, slow.\n\nThis is a non-corporate place, and I really dig that and will continue to support them despite their few shortcomings.", "2.5.\n\nA neighborhood coffee place, with local artists' works on the walls. Pretty much everyone knew everyone that walked in the door (except me of course, I probably stuck out like a sore thumb). Cozy interior with laid-back, friendly staff.\n\nLike others have said, the coffee is self serve, at almost 10 different pots at the front. Awesome idea (especially since it's bottomless), but the coffee is \"eh\". With \"coffee house\" in their name and a Kona coffee bag decoration on the wall, I honestly expected better.\n\nI made my own omelet, and it was good, although the my add-ins (spinach, tomato, Swiss and sausage) were a bit sparse. Definitely tasted fresh, though. The home fries were OK, and the toast was a bit burnt. The portion was just right for my stomach, but I know that it probably isn't enough for my guy friends.\n\nThe space and staff are charming, but the food and coffee? Left much to be desired, especially since the prices were close to what I pay for brunch in the city.", "I love places like this! Self serve coffee, great food whether its breakfast or lunch. The homefries rock! They showcase local artists, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. A great place to be if you live in Langhorne or just passing through. Kudos to the owners for maintaining a great coffee shop. Beats a Starbucks any day of the week!", "Staff is great, food is great nothing really complain about.\n\nIf you want food during peak hours though, it is smart to order ahead and get it to go. The place is really small and is ALWAYS packed. I guess with good reason tho, this place is rocking!", "Great breakfast place. The specials are always delicious!" ]

Mmmmm, there's nothing better then a huge, steaming bowl of Viet Soup with all the fixins, plus with fall/winter just around the corner, i'll be sure to be coming back. I believe this place hasn't been open very long judging by the Grand Opening sign, but overall it was a good experience. The interior is clean, and spacious in addition to a few flat panel TV's to catch up any sports you may be missing. I say this cause my hour lunch break turned into two while watching the Ryder Cup today. :) I also had the Grilled Pork Banh Mi sandwich. It was OK, little too much bread and not enough pickled veg, and pork. I give that solid 3. and i had mentioned that to the waiter they needed to add more substance to the sandwich and he said he would let the chef know. I guess we'll see next time. Overall a good spot for those in the SOUTH EAST SIDE looking for some quality Vietnamese fare.", "Some reviews require lengthy analysis of the high points and low points of a meal.\n\nThis is not one of those reviews.\n\nIn this case, all that needs to be said is - \n\nBest\n\nPho\n\nIn\n\nNashville\n\n\nYou want more?\n\nHow about strong Vietnamese coffee to knock your socks off?\n\nHow about free eggrolls (and they're darn tasty too) to celebrate the grand opening / renaming? (Yelp calls this 'Dai Viet' but the sign reads 'Pho Viet' now.)\n\nHow about friendly service and a clean atmosphere with booths that look and feel like new and Spanish murals on the wall? \n\nYeah, they've got all that too.\n\nNow if only they could fix the paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms because having to dry your hands on a roll of paper towels balanced on the back of the toilet tank is pretty gross...\n\nIn conclusion - wonderful soup (both chicken and beef versions) in huge portions at great value. An exiting new arrival on Nashville's Asian food scene!!", "Pho is good, Lemonade fresh made and strong. #22 fried spring rolls with rice noodles and fish sauce is also recommended. \n\nHad to seat myself, so service can be better. But Pho is still the reason to come here. I love beef noodle soup, cravings are nearly satisfied by coming here, if only it were a little closer to where I live. I like to come here on the way to the airport for my preflight meal.", "Still wonderful pho\n\nStill reasonably priced\n\nAnd yet the restaurant was practically empty at a Thursday lunchtime despite the location on busy Harding Place. \n\nC'mon Nashville -- support a great purveyor of pho!\n\nPS - The paper towel dispenser has been fixed in the men's room. Awesome.", "Finally a Vietnamese choice closer to the south side of town. \n\nInitial impressions of the digs are that it is slightly nicer than most other Vietnamese spots in town. It would be silly to expect 5 star appearances in an authentic spot and I love a hole in the wall as much as the next person but it was a welcome change of pace compared to others that are a tad dilapidated or somewhat dingy.\n\nThe staple of any Vietnamese experience for me is a french coffee with condense milk, a pork banh mi, and rare beef pho. Unfortunately this round I didn't try the french coffee. The banh mi was good. The bread was crispy but had a softer texture than what I am used to. The pho was above average. All in all it was enjoyable.\n\nAlthough one might find a better meal at the end of a long trek out to the far reaches of west Nashville's Vietnamese row, Pho Viet offers a nice option a little closer to home for those of us on south side.", "This wasn't the best Vietnamese I've ever had, but not bad, either. And it has the advantage of being much closer to where I live! I liked my bun, husband liked his pho (he did say that the beef was the way he likes it, came to the table nearly raw and cooked to perfection once mixed into the broth). \n\nThe pork bahn mi that we split as an appetizer was extremely good. I'm not sure what the Vietnamese do to pork & beef before they grill it, but EVERY. SINGLE. VIETNAMESE. RESTAURANT. I've ever been to had great grilled pork & beef. And the bread was nice & crusty. Definitely worth a return trip.", "Boy I wanted to like this place because it's so close to my office. It's got all the potential in the world. Good menu, good location, decorated nice, etc. However, the food just didn't cut it. The pho was OK. It had too much MSG in it for me. I know most places but it in, and I hate that they do, but I can tell when too much is in there.\n\nWhat got me though was no cafe sua da. I finally talked them into an \"iced coffee\" and it was close in taste, but no french press? That's a must at a Vietnamese place. \n\nI would love to say that I would increase this rating on my next trip, but my experience was bad enough where I just don't know if I will make it back.\n\nHope you guys make it! That location has bad luck...", "I have lived in LA, and Vegas. Moving to Nashville was definitely a culture shock with the lack of great Asian food. But, when you try and try you just might find that needle in a hay stack. \n\nDai Viet definitely has the cleanest and well seasoned broth for Pho. I tried the Banh Mi, it was my first time. \n\nAnd now I can say because of this place I am addicted to the food here. This is my 2nd time eating here in two days, and coming from a curvy girl that's saying a lot. \n\nSo, please try this place it will not let you down. Also, I would hate to see it close from lack of business. Keep them going!!", "The Pho there is very tasty, but after a while it seem little bit too sweet. the service was okay, took them a while to brought us the food while it was dead. well they actually brought us the wrong Pho, so we waited about 30 mins for a pho... :/ i'll probably go back and give it another try.", "Good Pho Nashville. Kien Giang is 1)cheaper 2) just as good.\n\nOne good thing, is their basil and bean sprouts are top notch because they also own a grocery store (King Market) and get fresh shipments every Thursday." ]

[ "As far as diner food, Mal's does this the best of any diner in the area. They have a nice menu of typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner items. There breakfast plates are really good and the portions are large. I always get pancakes, which are fantastic. Their sandwiches are pretty good also and I recommend the cheeseburger sub. They also serve a small selection of bottle beer and wine. I've always found Mal's to be clean. Another perk is they have home made breads and deserts that are usually pretty good.\n\nI say \"usually\" because one time I got the homemade rice pudding and it was terrible. The consistency of the rice was hard, and maybe the cook likes crunchy rice pudding, but I do not. We also had one time when our waiter was not very good, not bad, but not good. He barely looked at us or spoke when taking our orders and in general seemed to be completely uninterested in doing his job.\n\nOverall, I would recommend Mal's, especially for breakfast.", "Okay...so I'm really not so pleased with Mals. Been there twice in the last month and a half or so, both times not happy with the service or food.\n\nI apologize ahead of time because the following is hard to actually take seriously.\n\nTwice in a row I ordered the \"Big\" breakfast, and received the \"Big, Big\" breakfast. They are basically the same item, except the big, big comes with three of everything and two pieces of toast. Also costs about $2 more. First time, not a big deal. Second time I was kind of annoyed and indicated to the waitress that I had actually ordered the \"big\" breakfast and she had brought me the \"big, big\" breakfast. Hoping she would just take two bucks off the bill, no problem. Well as I pointed out the error she said \"they are the same thing\". What?! When I went further into my explanation as to why there is in fact a difference, she didn't say much more and walked away from our table.\n\nThis last experience pretty much soured me on Mal's. I don't know if my expectations have changed or the place has slowly gone down hill, but I've now been disappointed one two many times to return any time soon to mals. Overall, from the wait staff to the food that comes out, it just doesn't seem like anyone cares about the place. Kinda sad because it has more potential.", "STAY AWAY!\n\nbeen there 3 times. terrible service.\n\nfirst... this place is run by a bunch of 16 year olds.\nsecond. the food sucks.\n\nterrible slow service\nterrible crappy food.\n\ngreat location, too bad...", "HEY! C'mon guys, 1 1/2 stars? Maybe we're taking the name literally here, or perhaps y'all have never breakfasted in Lansdale, where there is a so-serious-it's-depressing lack of decent breakfast places. Mal's is a little pricier than Lansdale garbage holes but their omelets are proportional (not overstuffed-- the cheese doesn't melt as well if they are), their breakfast potatoes actually have a taste (apart from vegetable oil), and their pancakes are fluffy and tender. The decor is ridiculous, but it's a diner! If this diner were in Lansdale it would beat out all of its competition. Unfortunately I'm not going to drive all the way to Skippack for an omelet again, but I thought I'd work a little to up Mal's average.", "This place is much too good to bear the title \"Diner\". The food was very imaginative and the service was attentive.\n \nLast, but not least, the prices were very fair.", "Worst meal we ever had! The roast turkey dinner wasn't even real turkey. And the chicken dinner I got was cold. Service slow and terrible. I would never go there again. Plus, my boyfriend ordered a sandwich in place of his meal and they didn't take the entire dinner off, only a portion. Also, when he got his CC statement, they ran thru a different amount than what was on his receipt. (The price of the meal he didn't eat). Bad business, bad food. Don't waste your time or money.", "We had breakfast here a few weeks ago and left decidedly unimpressed. Service was lackluster at best, and the food was very overpriced for what it was.\n\nI ordered the special Pumpkin coffee which was either too strong or burned. Either way, it wasn't pleasant, but luckily I didn't have to suffer through more than a cup of it. When I asked for more coffee (yes, you have to ask, if you are lucky enough to see your server), he brought me a cup of plain coffee and a blank look when I told him the pumpkin coffee seemed burned.\n\nMy breakfast must have been edible, but I can't recall it. I do know my husband was VERY displeased that his over easy eggs were hard as rocks in the middle. Not that he had anyone to complain to.\n\nI am sure there are better breakfast places in the area. It's hard to be less impressed than we were by Mals.", "I had breakfast at Mal's over the summer and I was a little concerned after reading the reviews (someone else picked the venue), but I was pleasantly surprised. The service was a little slow, but friendly and helpful. My food (Eggs Benedict) was delicious and cooked exactly as I requested (firm whites on the eggs). I'm not sure if I'd do lunch or dinner, but it's a solid choice for breakfast.", "I think Mal's is getting a bad rap. Yes, the furniture is worn & outdated and I wasn't thrilled about the dusty ladies' room. But it's the best waffle in the area and the fruit cup is actually made from fresh fruit! Yay for Mal's :-)", "Slow service\nBland food\nDevoid of real character\n\nYou're in Skippack, not at a highway-side truck stop, but the quality you experience here would indicate the latter. \n\nGetting a seat isn't tough here (a hint more than a bonus, I'm now seeing), but the wait times from seated to waited on, to served, to followed up on, to given the check are all long. Service is passable. The food is plentiful, but utterly unspecial, not very well-prepared, and pretty flavorless.\n\nPlaces like this are a dime a dozen and your time is worth more than this. Head to a local place with more character, better food, or (yes, or) faster service, and you'd have this place beat. So, why bother? \n\nNot recommended." ]

She was fantastic to work with! She made suggestions on which cupcakes to order and they even delivered to our office location as I was flying in for the event and wouldn't have a car. They delivered on time and we couldn't have been happier! The cupcakes not only looked decadent, but they smelled great and tasted even better! Our colleagues were thrilled with the cupcakes and they were gobbled up with glee! I made a special order of gluten free cupcakes to take home and was amazed at how great they were! I definitely recommend this place for a wonderful treat!", "I bought Crushcakes out of mini cupcakes today because I was supporting a Wounded Warriors Foundation fundraiser. 14 mini cupcakes to be exact! At $1.25 each that's not a bad price. My co-workers loved the cupcakes. Some of them getting two and arguing with each other over them. I bought a large cupcake for myself called Half Baked and it was delicious! I even ate the frosting and I hardly ever eat frosting on cakes and cupcakes because a lot of people just pack it on there.\n\nThe first time I tried a cupcake from Crushcakes, it was so dry, it almost choked me but with the ones I had today, they've redeemed themselves. I like their new location in Goleta.", "This place is amazing. A small, charming building with wonderful food. They have more than just baked deliciousness- they have salads, sandwiches, burrito bowls, breakfast bowls, pancakes, etc. I had the fall favorites salad which was arugula, chicken, walnuts, dried cranberries, goat cheese and citrus vinaigrette- it was delicious. The two times I came here on a work trip my coworker and I got cupcakes and they were incredible (and I bake so I am picky!) I had the cookies n' cream and crumb cake. I would definitely recommend this lovely place.", "I love this place and love that it's not in IV anymore. I went in, they were so nice and even threw in a free mini cupcake! I tried the half baked, carrot and strawberry. All were amazing but my favorite was the strawberry. The cupcakes are moist and the icing is amazing (and I usually don't like icing) I'll be coming back here for sure! And they sell pies too!", "Crushcakes has pleasant cupcakes and hipster atmosphere. They also have food options which are pretty good as well! I love the halfbaked cupcake and the carrot cupcake as well :) It used to be in IV but it moved. The prices of the cupcakes are affordable and similar to any other cupcake shops/bakeries so you won't be surprised. They have free wifi as well!", "It's no secret, if you look through my past reviews, that I love cupcakes, and that I love Crushcakes. I was super crushed when I found out over the summer that Crushcakes in IV was gone, but I'm so excited that they opened one up in Goleta, which has a decent amount of indoor and outdoor space!\n\nThe prices are the same (to my recollection), the cupcakes taste amazing as always (especially cookies and cream and their signature crushcake), and they still have gluten free cupcakes and vegan cupcakes. My friends all love their coffee-related drinks (I can't personally comment since I don't drink coffee), and overall, the space is really nice. \n\nI go basically every week, so my love for this place should be apparent!", "I'm always thoroughly disappointed with the lunches. I've been here quite a few times now, both when I was a student at UCSB & because my work orders from them occasionally. Today, I ordered the Chicken Panini. So mediocre. Bread was dry, as was the chicken. Pesto was the only saving grace. As for the side salad, the lettuce was all wilted. And it's not cheap. I can safely say that I've given them all the chances I can muster.", "This place is super cute with nice service.\n\nCame here for the first time for brunch with a few friends. I had the cafe skillet which totally hit the spot for my craving for brunch food.\n\nThe eggs were perfectly fried where the egg yolk was still runny - yum! The potatoes were also nicely done, and it had a good amount of cheese to hold it together (there is never too much cheese in my opinion).\n\nMy only complaint is that the dish was a little too greasy/oily, but overall it was very tasty.", "Delicious food! Great fresh lemonade and excellent coffee! Very friendly staff and the vegan cupcakes are delicious!!!!" ]

We felt stomach after eating this.\nThey recommend one roasted lamb but there is no price information on menu. And it turns out to be $39.95 for just 6 lamb. Very ridiculous!!!\nWe wait for 20mins just for check out.\nWill never come back again.", "Excellent! Best Chinese in the area, Every dish my Wife and I had was perfect.", "We've been there three times since they opened. Consistently good food. I'd recommend lettuce wrap and crispy duck with steamed bun!", "Extremely happy with the service, quality and taste. This restaurant is only been open a week so I am unsure how the first reviewer commented before then. The food was all excellent and they offered authentic Chinese dishes. The service was great and the wait staff was enthusiastic and proud of the food. I would defiantly recommend many of the dumplings and appetizers. The Sichuan chicken was authentic and made to order based on customers heat recommendation. Will definitely be returning.", "I am suspicious of these negative reviews ( a competitor?). Our experience was quite the opposite. Good food. Efficient service. Rex is very friendly and accommodating. We will return. Try it. You'll be pleased.", "There are very few authentic Chinese restaurants on the main line. If you are in the mood for outstanding Sichuan then this is the place. We had a number of the Sichuan dishes and none let us down. They carry the standard dishes you would expect from any other place, but why bother when the dishes they specialize in are so amazing.", "Date of visit, Sept 13, 2016. The staff were very nice. I just do not feel they are ready to be open until they iron out some issues. Example, they have 8+ duck entrees on the menu, however only three of them were available. They advertise a special Milk Tea, but that is only available when the owner is working. Finally, I got my entree and after 10 minutes we asked the server about the status of my wifes entree. Were informed that the chef made the wrong entree but there was no indication if a new one was being prepared. We were asked if we wanted the already made (but wrong) entree, we declined. My wife went hone hungry. My meal was ok, it was duck with plum sauce.", "I agree with Shawn M. They are just not ready for prime time. I normally would not review this restaurant but I do think it has promise. The setting is one of the nicest I have seen. We ordered chicken chow fun from the menu but it is chow mei fun and it was missing the chicken. I asked Rex if I could have his email address but he chose not to give it to me. My partner had very good restaurant in Philadelphia Chinatown 90s. We could really have provide a list of suggestions that would have been helpful. It is not too late but you must make some changes or the restaurant will not make it. This my sound drastic but I want to see you survive. We will give it another try in a couple of months.", "Unique sauces and spices make for an excellent meal. We really enjoyed it. I's a BYOB which we really like. Decor is ok but we were there for the food which was great! Try the wonton in spicy sauce....yum!", "Unfortunately disappointing. They took over the old Wabi Sabi restaurant, which was only fair and had terrible service, sorry Rex and staff, but you need to step it up quite a bit to be attentive to customers. We waited for a server, waited for water and waited a long time for even the appetizers, and the restaurant only had 3 other tables occupied. They should really remove the Wabi Sabi from the front door!\nSoup was fair to poor, I agree with others\n that that the Hot & Sour was below par. Rex told us that it was all authentic Chinese and Shezhuan style, but guess what, only about 8 dishes were marked as \"spicy\" and they all were made with the same sauce. Same complaint as others that they were out of many items on the menu. Hey guys, it's a Saturday night and you have been open for 6 weeks, you should be able to serve most of the dishes. Overheard another couple also ask about entrees and was told that they were not available. Only had 2 dishes and they were good, but far from great (and not close to authentic Chinese), If you want basic American Chinese, it's okay, but anything else, it's not worth a trip. Rex, the host was very nice and accommodating, but sorry, there are too many other great choices on the Main Line within a few miles. Hope that you can step it up, as never want to see anyone fail." ]

It is promising w a night open lay out and a central bar. $7 for a 12oz bottle beer is too much for Reno but they are getting draft beer which will hopefully not be IPAs and Bud. The dj spins top 40 like every Reno club which is sad because EDM. I'll be coming here though because Reno. We need more medium sized clubs. Even Vegas is embracing medium size venues over the mega clubs that just draws a coterie of drunk Europeans. I just wish EDM.", "This place is probably a solid 1. I guess this passes for Mexican food around here because where I'm from this would not last long. I had a carne asada enchilada plate that came with their canned refried beans and min-type white rice, nothing Mexican about it. The salsa was watery with very faint flavoring. The meat really didn't have much flavor either. The menu consisted of Asian-fusion Mexican food. If you're looking for authentic Mexican this is not the place. If you're okay with Chevy's type Mexican cuisine, way overpriced, with Asian influence, you might like this place.", "The DJ is horrible. The music selection is horrible and why is there a white light pointing in my eyes!?", "This place is TERRIBLE! The tacos took FOREVER to get to the table! The server forgot to put our order of fries and nachos in and we had to cancel them when he eventually put the order in because it took FOREVER! And the servers brought us chips and salsa that we thought were complimentary because they brought it up, but they end up charging us for it! NEVER come here!", "Food was horrible and blan no flavor, small portions, expensive, slow service, we dont recommend it", "Street Tacos are great! Street Fries are pretty good, I think they forgot the cilantro. Bartender Elijah is very personable and attentive!", "Sometimes, it really is ALL about service.\n\nBottom Line: They do not welcome or greet customers in even the most basic sense.\n\nWe went to El Jefe's anxious to try it, 4 of us on Saturday, March 18 around 7:00PM. We waited for a host or hostess to guide us if it was \"seat yourself\" or wait to be seated. After several minutes, a young lady came out and said she was not taking any more names for the waiting list....that she was the kitchen manager and she was \"calling it\". What was boggling is that the restaurant was not full. We did not see anyone else waiting. But actually, what is most mind boggling is that she did not greet us in any sense of the word, guide us where else we might go, apologize that they are short-staffed and wouldn't be able to offer service to their standards (you get my drift). Nothing. We felt like we were thrown out before we even got in! Not even sure I want to try these guys again.", "Pleasantly surprised much better than the reviews we had a very good waitress food was good chips and salsa were excellent. I had a blue moon they actually had oranges unlike the place down the hall. The only reason I wouldn't give them five stars is because the wife ordered a blended strawberry margarita with salt and it came in a mason jar.... not what we expected it was mediocre in flavor not super Blended. Definitely will go back. Nice to have another option for Mexican food during our stay at the Legacy. Also really enjoying the one Club Card which allows you to use comps at all the restaurants from all three casinos", "I've been eager to see what El Jefe's was all about. My entire family and I enjoyed the previous Mexican cantina that was in this location, so it seemed fitting to go to El Jefe's for a Mother's Day dinner. We had a party of 6 and ate around 6pm--it was not very busy in the restaurant.\n\nWe had mediocre service throughout the dining experience, and that is to say the best. The hostess was not welcoming when I arrived, and she did not seem sure if she was allowed to seat us if the entire party was not present. We did get seated and the rest of the party showed up within a minute. We were asked about water promptly, but it took quite awhile for the waters and a basket of chips and salsa to arrive. Since we were at a long table we requested a second basket of chips so that everyone could reach and it did not arrive for a very long time. Our drinks were never refilled. At one point two pitchers were dropped off at the end of the table, and my dad filled everyone up. Sadly, the water was actually Sierra Mist, and we never got a refill of water until the end of the meal when the check came. Our server seemed totally out of it and didn't even realize that it was Mother's Day until she asked why we had a couple of gift bags. Anytime she came by our table she was walking too quickly to get her attention. It was really terrible service.\n\nThe menu left a lot to be desired. Tacos and burritos are the only options!! I ended up going with the Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos. They were okay, except the tortillas totally fell apart. The beans and rice were gross. The beans had a crust on the outside which made me think that they had been left out for awhile before being served, and the rice was plain. No salsa or hot sauce was offered.", "Food was good but not as ordered. The service took forever and there wasn't a lot of patrons?\nNice bar" ]

[ "Let me start this review with a caveat. It was their second day open. I went with my wife and daughter. We really liked the ambiance. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. On the other hand the food was not good. I ordered the Grizzly Burger. It was charred on the outside and pink on the inside. It had a burnt taste to it. The romaine lettuce leaf was big and wilted. The waffle fries that came with it were good, however they were luke warm. My wife had the pork tenderloin. It came on a bun with no garnishments. She had to ask for mustard and mayonnaise. The tenderloin was big but had no taste. The cole slaw was shredded red cabbage with a small amount of dressing. It tasted like raw cabbage. Her waffle fries were also luke warm. My daughter ordered the Blue Onion BBQ chicken sandwich. The chicken filet was half the size of the bun. The manager did comp half the price of the sandwich. The chicken was also charred to the point of being inedible. She also ordered the Caeser salad. It was not well tossed. She thought that thet forgot to put the dressing on it. To sum it up the management and the wait staff did a good job. The kitchen staff needs to learn how to cook. In all fairness, the pizza coming out to the tables looked tasty. We probably should have gone with the pizza.", "We visited MacKenzie River for the first time just a few days after they opened. It was a positive experience, and I'm sure once they get a few bugs worked out, it'll be a great experience.\n\nThe wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Our waitress thanked us for coming in and seemed to sincerely mean it, which is far too rare these days. We were off to a good start.\n\nI had questions about a couple of the menu items and our server was able to answer them for me.\n\nWe decided to do a pizza and a couple of side salads for our meal.\n\nIt took longer than usual to get our salads, but I will say they were VERY good salads. A nice touch was that they had diced pears on them, giving the salad an interesting texture and flavor. I liked these side salads a lot.\n\nFor our pizza, we chose the branding iron. This has italian sausage, jalapenos, and some other things on it. The cheese was very good as was the flavor and the amount of toppings.\n\nThey have several crust options. Their signature crust is a sourdough crust, and I gotta say, I wasn't crazy about it. It wasn't bad....but it was just so-so. This visit certainly merits a return visit to MacKenzie River, I'll just choose a different crust next time. ;)", "First time visit, no reservations, and the management figured out how to seat 12 of us. Kudos! Our group were all happy with salads, pizza, pasta, and even gluten free pizza. They really work to accommodate guests needs and wishes. We plan to go back again.", "We decided to try this new place, and invited along some family friends. What a mistake.\nLet me start with the bottom line - the sooner this restaurant will close the better.\nThe staff was friendly and helpful, so I wish they will find another restaurant job elsewhere, but the food was a disgrace. Even for a restaurant where everything must have come into the kitchen in a plastic bag or frozen.\nOur party had salads, pizzas, soups - all were left on the plates. When my kids try just one slice of their pizza and refuse to take the rest in a box home - that's strike one. If my wife leaves her salad mostly untouched (I have never seen this happen before, ever!) - that's strike two. But when the friendly server explains to me that the bread sticks taste they way they do...because they deep fry them - the game is over.\nImagine, a place that has \"pizza\" in its name, but instead of baking they deep fry bread stick. What is the world of restaurants coming to?\nIn the end of the visit, I wanted to apologize to our family friends for my poor choice of restaurant for lunch. how embarrassing.", "Frozen, reheated pizzas. Ugh. (Don't you hate when you don't get to pick the place to go to dinner?) We ordered the BBQ Pork pizza. Visually the pizza looked like Totino's $5 pizza. At the touch it was completely greasy and for taste? What flavor? It was like cardboard with cheese on top.\n\nRidiculous that \"Pizza\" is part of their name and they serve their customers that.\n\nFood: 1/5\nService: 4/5\nLocation: 4/5", "We went here for the first time. We expected some glitches with it being fairly new and we certainly had some. The waiter was great and the owner was great. What happened was they brought out our one child's meal but then the rest of us seemed to wait forever. In fact, she was about done and we still didn't have our food. \n\nOnce it did come out the food was okay. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was okay but was missing something. Not sure what but it just felt like something was missing. Everyone else said they liked their meals.\n\nI appreciated the owner coming over and offering to give us a desert on the house due to the slow service. \n\nOverall, I'll give this place another try. It had a nice atmosphere and I think they have a lot of potential.", "Had a good pizza and nice ambiance. Seemed like the servers were a little clueless. Guy from the kitchen came out and was rushing around with plates.", "Just had a wonderful meal with a large group of women who have been going out to dinner together monthly for years. We had great drinks, great food and a fabulous waitress. We had a fun time and I was especially impressed with how smooth dinner went for all if us. It is nice to have a great new place to eat with friends and family .", "Saturday night at 6:30; we had great service. 2 couples had large pizza and salads, 1 bottle of wine & 1 beer. Grand total was under $100 for 4 including tip = good value. Our friends really liked it. Not exceptional or gourmet - more middle of the road mass appeal. Might be trying to be too many things to too many people. We will try Tues. night when wine is 50%.", "Newly remodeled. Solid pizza chain. Good for kids. Interesting pizzas: Caribbean chicken, sequoia (pesto, artichoke, pine nuts), \"make-your-own-anything\". Salad was fresh. Good selection of craft beers and cocktails. Attentive service. 10 minute wait on a Friday night. Plenty of parking. It will not blow you away with complex and creative flavors, but is unlikely to disappoint either." ]

I knew this was going to be an excellent experience. Inside, I was greeted by one of the proprietors he even remembered my name (from when I came in before with my business card)! \n\nI got the #2 meal, which comes with a dog, fries, and a drink. I got the garden district weenie (VEGAN and labeled as such) with vegan chili and waffle fries! Husband got the same but topped with cheese.They also have sweet potato fries, if you wish. \n\nThey have tons of sides, if you aren't into fries, like hummus, chili (vegan and non), chips, and many more. Their topping selection is ace too- curry and things like that- even cream cheese!?\n\nWhile sitting and waiting for my food, the ambiance was pleasant and friendly. Non-cheesy New Orleans music was playing in the background, while customers carefully chose which weenie they were going to consume. They have kosher, halal, and vegan options clearly marked. I think this is a first in this city (THANK YOU!).\n\nOur dogs came out, and they were epic. Better than the first time, the dog is now wrapped in a wonton skin (my guess, not sure), which makes it super crispy and YUM. I demolished it as fast as I could, until I was super roly-poly full. \n\nYou gotta make your way over here. It's run by extremely friendly, gracious, and caring people. They really do care about giving customers the dreamiest weenie experience possible. \n\nDon't let the address scare you, this part of Rampart is super safe and populated. It's RIGHT near the Armstrong park arch, which is a great photo-op spot, my lovely tourists.", "My wife and I checked out Dreamy Weenies for lunch. This is a great place. The beef dogs have natural casings and are deliciously a cut above any other we've had locally without question. The chili is meaty and delicious, not thin and soupy like you find at most any other restaurant or fast food chain establishment. The atmosphere is cheery and bright and the staff is friendly and attentive. We were both very impressed. Kudos to you Dreamy Weenies. Treat yourself today!", "I was referred to this spot by the owner of the Golden Feather which is down the block. I was full from Satchmo Fest so I couldn't finish the hot dog I ordered, but the sweet potato fries with the molasses based \"drizzle\" sauce warranted a second visit the next day. The place is clean, the service superb, the owners nice, a great addition to the Treme/French Quarter area.", "Hot dog that was good. Stopped in on a rainy night. I had a delicious hot dog on a fresh warm bun. Loved the sweet potato fries, served with drizzle ( buttery, brown sugar and cinnamon).

I am so glad I did! This little spot is bright, cheery, clean and the folks who work there are friendly and welcoming. I had the polish sausage topped with kraut, mustard and relish and the waffle fries. Everything was outstanding and the bun was warm soft and chewy. I loved it!

The people seated seemed very happy and their food looked delicious. I had to wait a coup minutes, but that was fine with me since they make your gourmet hot dog when you order it. \n\nWhen the food came, I sunk my teeth into my dog (my choice: hot sausage). It was so flavorful. The bun was different than any I have ever had. It was freshly baked and soft. I jazzed up my dog with all the fixens. For that I needed a fork. As a side, I had that sweet potato fries. These were absolutely the best ones that I ever had. Did I mention that they make all their sides from scratch?\n\nI highly recommend this clean and respectable establishment for everyone.", "After a long day traveling, on our first night in New Orleans, we strolled by this place. It has a great look. The two guys behind the counter were fun and nice. We each selected a different sausage. The sausages were very good and were served on a soft tasty bun. As we were eating, people who appeared to be from the neighborhood (lacking that touristy look with flip flops, shorts, and hats) kept coming in and were warmly greeted. This added to the ambience and our enjoyment of the meal. Go here and keep these guys in business.

The lox & cream cheese on pumpernickel met my full expectations. On my next trip must try the toasted avocado bagel. Parking a bit of challenge but you make it work in south Tampa.", "I have been anticipating the days of opening since I saw the sign go up. As a former NYC resident I must say, I know what a real bagel is suppose to be like. Although the environment is nice and menu options consist of a good variety, you aren't going to find the chewy, crispy, crunch, with the subtle flavor of the barley malt that a NYC bagel has at 18BagelsCO. These are bagels, heavy even when scooped of their filling. Eating half of one will fill you up bc they are very dense and smear (cream cheese) variety is limited. I ordered two bagels, their lox breakfast bagel and a everything scooped with jalapeño smear. It isn't what I had hoped but will be a nice choice for the locals who haven't been exposed to the amazing NYC bagels. If you are a lover of those bagels, go across town the Bagels Plus, those are a step back to the streets of NYC, you may even hear the sirens, honks, and NYC accent if you close your eyes. \n\nOverall, 18 Bagels is new and trendy and great for someone who wants a unique kick to their day. Wishing 18Bagels Co the best on their future!", "So far 18 Bagels is the best bagel option in South Tampa, but I predict New Yorkers will continue to be disappointed.\n\nThis Sunday was our second time trying the bagels from 18 Bagels. We were fortunate enough to try the bagels when my husband's office received a sample delivery prior to the soft opening. The bagels are made fresh daily at their Kennedy-Dale Mabry location. This locally owned bagel shop offers lots of fun and innovative bagels such as the unicorn bagel and the oreo cookie bagel. (Warning: the oreo cookie bagel and oreo cookie cream cheese is extremely sweet!)\n\nI ordered my go-to bagel: an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. The outside of the bagel was well seasoned with garlic, poppy seeds and sesame seeds, but the inside of the bagel was dense and a bit bland. Even though the bagel was cooked it had a slightly undercooked doughy taste to it. The bagel was barely toasted, a complaint that many other customers were voicing. My husband wasn't thrilled about the lox on his bagel and said that it wasn't the best quality.\n\nSince this is just the soft opening I will round my 3.5 review to 4 stars, but I really hope that the kinks are worked out soon because we need some great bagels in South Tampa!", "Visited during the soft opening. When we walked in we were greeted in a friendly manner which is always nice! I ordered a sesame bagel toasted with cream cheese and it was good - heavier than I expected but good. It had black and white sesame seeds so that was something different that I hadn't seen before. My husband ordered a bagel sandwich that ended up costing $9.49 plus tax! To me, that's expensive for a bagel sandwich. It was a simple ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. Yes, he requested egg whites so I assume there was an up-charge but I was so shocked at the prices - it was also $2 for the cream cheese on my bagel. If you're into coffee they have coffee ice cubes which I've never seen before but I don't drink coffee and it's make your own coffee with cold brew and tea on tap. I think they should somehow put the bagels on display even if it's just one of each kind. I like to see the bagels before I pick one and they are hidden in containers behind the donut display case making it hard to see them.", "I have tried a majority of the bagel places in the Tampa Bay region...I was so excited that this new one was opening up and close to my house! My favorite bagel is a salt bagel but there salt bagels had very little salt on them. Additionally the cream cheese just didn't seem fresh. Customer service was great though and the bagel wasn't awful considering the salt situation. I'll probably have to try it again to get a full reading but for now I'll have to drive out to Brandon Bagels or Bagels Plus for a high quality bagel.", "Wow, this place exceeded my expectations. I had been hawkeye-ing their Facebook page, so I knew I wanted to try the Oreo bagel with the cookies & cream cheese. We had 2 bagels with premium cream cheese and it was about $9.50. So it's a little pricey, but definitely a nice Friday treat. I wondered how good could a bagel be? But it was perfect. The bagels are huge and it was a nice combination of soft, chewy, and fresh. Not something I buy from the bread aisle in Publix. \n\nI like a lot of cream cheese, if you don't then I'd ask for light. The cookies & cream cheese was really flavorful, almost like whipped chocolate pudding and they were generous with the serving, which I appreciated.\n\nOverall, despite the price, the bagel and cream cheese was filling and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try their lunch. It took a while for me to find their hours, but it's 6am-3pm.", "After much anticipation for the new bagel spot to open I tried to go today. It was 10:25 on a Saturday morning and they said the kitchen was closed. Meanwhile there was a line 20 people deep waiting and they were not sharing that until you got to the counter after waiting in line. People were just walking out after ordering nothing so it seemed like the considerate thing to do would be to tell people waiting in line if you couldn't serve anything but coffee. \n\nParking is a pain as usual. \n\nThe build out of the new space seems nice enough but can't say I'll be inclined to try again with the pain that parking is.", "Went at 830am today, waited in line for 20mins and got to counter and was told it would be 40mins for hot food from the kitchen. Was just going to get a bagel and cream cheese but they only had tubs of cream cheese. I wasn't going to buy a big tub of cream cheese for one bagel. Ended up just leaving and going elsewhere. It would've have been nice to get this information in line rather than just waiting and being told at the counter. Someone should've informed us of the long wait.", "9:30 am Saturday-- Waited 35 minutes in line only to be told when we got to the cashier it was a 45 min wait for anything in the kitchen even a everything bagel with Peanut-butter and Jelly. Then we said we will take bagels and cream cheese. She said grab the tub of cream cheese out of the cooler. They only had Oreo cream cheese seemed a bit much to have to buy an entire tub of cream cheese for 2 bagels.", "Would like to say this is a terrible start for a new business that just open up. Got there at 10:30 to find out the kitchen is closed and they are not taking any more orders... 10:30am on a Saturday? Seen plenty of restaurants come n go in the Tampa area. This is definitely one of them that will go..." ]

[ "Good lunch spot but don't go for breakfast. I was in a hurry one morning and went in for a little Breakfast before work. I ordered oatmeal and this was my conversation with the owner... \nMe: I'll take the oatmeal, please. \nOwner: We'll I'd have to make that for you. \nMe: (wondering, isn't that how a restaurant works?) \nOwner: It'll be just a minute (in a rude tone) \n10 minutes later...... \nOwner: Here is your oatmeal, that will be $6.75 \nMe: (I'll never be back)\n\nAs far as the menu price for oatmeal, the 3 slices of apple she added as a topping made the price sky rocket. Her explanation for the drastic price increase...'apples are very expensive right now'", "The oatmeal is $3.25 on the menu, so I can't vouch for what the other reviewer was mentioning.\n\nWhat I can vouch for is the amazing sandwiches this place serves up. There are about a million sandwich shops (Port of Subs, Subway, Deli Towne, Etc.) in reno, and they all serve pretty much the same thing with varying levels of quality. Rick's has delicious sandwiches and they're completely unique.\n\nI've tried to work my way down the menu, but the \"John Gotti\" sandwich always pulls me back in. It's a unique mix of ingredients that go together perfectly to create an unforgettable sandwich. My favorite place in town for a sandwich!", "Usually good. But can be very slow. The employees seem easily distracted by the phone and anything else. Not sure if it was just a bad day or what, but 30 minutes for a deli sandwich is too long... We finally had to change the order to-go because they wasted the lunch break. Wasn't thrilled about taking the sandwich back to the office- but it was a great sandwich", "Bread? DUTCH CRUNCH. \nIngredients? PLENTY OF GREAT OPTIONS.\nCreative Sandwich Menu? CHECK.\nOverall Taste? FANTASTIC.\nService? Here is where we take pause. While they are family owned and operated (I give them more leeway), they can be prohibitively slow. If they hired or con'd ONE more family member to work during the busy lunch hours, they would be a perfect sandwich shop. \n\nSide note: Love the huge Chicago Skyline pic from the 80's. Makes me miss home.", "I used to always go there when I worked down the street.. I would always order the Wall Street (tri-tip, cheese and jalapeno mayo). That sandwich is amazing. Worth 5 stars. \n\nWent there today and order a basic turkey and bacon sandwich (Dutch Schultz), but with chipolte mayo, not regular mayo. It was good. However, it was only really a 3 star sandwich. If I would have gotten regular mayo, I probably would have given it 2 stars. The problem with this sandwich is the quality of the turkey. It didn't have the turkey breast type quality that I come to expect from deli's. The meat tasted ok, but it had that slimy texture that you get from supermaket meat....I would have expected a bit more from Ricks. \n\nI will be back, but the next time I will order a Wall Street!", "I've only been here twice, but I plan to correct that in the coming months. My first experience was with a John Gotti sandwich which just about blew my face off. Marinated chicken breast, bacon, cheese, on a Dutch Crunch roll. This morning I stopped in for some breakfast and had the best breakfast burrito I have ever had (bacon breakfast burrito with sauteed onions, hold the salsa - bacon was even crispy!!). \n\nWhile I was waiting for my food I really enjoyed the pictures of New York and Chicago. There is one especially cool one over the door of Chicago's Grand Ave in the 30's. On both visits, the staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. I will be back many, many times.", "A great place to go for lunch in South Reno during the week. The portions are perfect but a little pricey for the amount of food you get. The staff is very friendly and will remember you after a couple of visits. I'm definitely a fan of the Scarface on sourdough, very, very good pastrami.", "The John Gotti is by far my favorite sandwich on the menu that deserves 5 stars, I order it everytime. However the price is about a dollar more than other sandwich shops around and the service can be a little slow during the lunch rush, my suggestion is to call and order ahead.", "Ive had experiences with Rick's Deli for quite a few years now, visiting for lunch time to time, and it has always been just as good as every last time Ive been. One thing I have to say is the Dutch Crunch bread is fantastic... Makes the sandwiches there just that much better. \n\nLike many restaurants though, rush hours can be slow, so be patient during those times.", "The Deli used to be much better. Has lost a bit in the past few months.\nOrdered a sandwich today that I have ordered for years. Asked for no tomato.\nReceived no tomato, no onion, no peppers, way too much mayo.\n\nWould really like to get what I order since I do pay for it." ]

[ "I've been waiting for this Mama's to open for months because it's so close to work. I even e-mailed them a couple months back asking when it would be open. Well, here it is!\n\nI ordered the Kalua pork sliders with fries. This was not the salty, tender, slow-cooked Kalua I've had in the past. But it was still good, served very messy on King's Hawaiian rolls.\n\nThe good: This is pretty decent Hawaiian food. I think there's better Hawaiian in Tucson, but not within driving distance of work. This location is easy to get to for most of the East side. Their walls have beautiful murals of Hawaiian women, a pineapple, and the store name. The staff is quite friendly and very patient.\n\nThe bad: For a restaurant so new, the deep fryer has a funky smell. I couldn't smell it from the table where I sat, but I could smell it on my french fries. The fries were flavorless (I'm not sure they were even salted) other than the odd \"deep fryer\" taste. Ketchup for the fries was only available in packets, and this particular brand of ketchup packet was EXTREMELY sweet. I read the ingredients label and found the first three ingredients were: tomato paste, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup.\n\nI felt like everyone at my table enjoyed their food, and I hope this new restaurant does well. But I probably won't be back here much. While it's conveniently located near work, there is better Hawaiian food near where I live.", "It was our first time a Mamas Hawaiian BBQ and I gave it 3 out of 5 stars for these reasons.\n1, The food was A-OK meaning is was pretty average, not boring or bland but not overly exciting either. We did not leave the restaurant feeling hungry nor dissatisfied.\n\n2. The portions were good and prices were in line with local area establishments of it's caliber. We had the Hawaiian teriyaki chicken salad with pineapple salsa and oriental sesame dressing. The buffalo wings served with celery stalks, very common, and the Teriyaki chicken plate with fries and macaroni salad and finished with Pineapple upside down cake and a creamcheese brownie, both of which were a little on the dry side and a little tasteless.\n\n3. The ambience of the establishment was surprisingly drab and a little boring. It could be so much more ... it was like Eegee's threw up a luau in it. They serve on paper plates, including the salad of which I am never a fan of salad thrown on a paper plate. A recyclable plastic bowl or other concave flatware would have been much better. The finished concrete floor looked like clay and cheaply done at that. There was too much white on the walls making it feel like it wasn't finished, the drink area was sort of conjested and the bathroom, although very clean, was very sterile.\n\n4. The staff were jovial & content. A young man served the food to our table even though they asked for a name to pick it up ... that's worth a small tip if you ask me. However it doesn't appear to be a consisent act and somewhat of an unpolished courtesy. I much prefer someone bring the entree to the table and swing by to pick up the recyclable plates and get feedback while doing so ... again, worth a tip.\n\nSuggestion: Consider improving the decor by adding appropriate theme color and consider upgrading the boring floors to 3 dimensional art that captures the eye and changes the mood to one that is less cafeteria like. Burn the tables and chairs! Or donate them to Eegee's since it fits their 70's style decor. Reconsider your serving flatware to something square in design for your entree's and definately something more concave in design for the salads ... it's really tacky to serve salad on a paperplate regardless of the outing.\n\nSide bar comment: I had to chuckle when the young man behind the counter was trying to help the young woman at the counter count my change back properly ... I showed them both just to be kind. Nothing worse than someone that throws the change in your hand without counting it back properly.\n\nWe will be back for seconds however and another review will follow.", "After visiting Hawaii a few times and falling in love with the slow roasted pork I was exited when I came home from a trip to discover Mama's. Now 4 years, and multiple locations later I am just as happy every time I order. Having a location on the East side is going to be dangerous for me!", "I wish there was a rating between \"Yay, i'm a fan\" and \"A-OK\". Very good tasting food (try the Kalua pork), and the service inside is adequate. \n\nDon't order off of EatStreet! . Unless you're willing to wait 2 HOURS for your delivery to arrive (this has happened twice). I got fed up the second time and drove there to pick up my food. I sternly asked them to make my food fresh; they did not offer me any sort of consolation for my experiences and the staff seemed annoyed/unsympathetic. \n\nThe cool part is that the delivery guy showed up when I was picking up my food, so he left my order by the door. So I ended up with two orders..\n\nI wouldn't put up with this kind of service and customer treatment if the food wasn't so good haha", "I am disgusted by the food I ordered. I ordered Katsu Chicken to go and unfortunately half of the chicken in the to go box are UNCOOKED, I repeat uncooked. I was sitting at home eating my dinner in a dark room so it was not visible for me to see how much of the chicken was cooked. I thought the chicken was just soggy or watery because of some marination. Oh boy, I was definitely wrong, but the damage was already done. I consumed over 3/4 of the plate until I noticed the red and slimey uncooked chicken. I got very upset as my dinner and rest of the night were ruined. \n\nI usually order from the University place, but now I will cross out this poor establishment for good.\n\nTo add to my dinner tragedy:\n- Rice was hard and almost raw, rice not cooked properly (OMG)\n- Teriyaki sauce had a weird very sour taste, never tasted that before from the Mama's University Restaurant\n- The other ketchup spread looked like jelly when I opened it from the container \n\nThe only good thing was probably the side salad. If you really want to try it out after my experience, than order a side salad. \n\nI seriously hope I won't be getting salmonella symptoms from eating the raw chicken. I guess will find out soon.", "I am actually very surprised to find the mixed reviews here. We have been to this location twice and its been quite good both times. I got the chicken katsu and beef teriyaki. My husband got the loco moco. (Both times). The second times we also got the wings. Everything was very fresh and good. The service was a bit slow to get the food out but they were all so friendly. I highly recommend the pineapple upside down cake. My family was all vying for the sugary edges. I will say the piece the first time I went was twice as big as the second time I went. Hopefully it stays consistent now. We brought food home for my son and he thought it was OK but not spectacular. I think the key here is sauce. He didn't want to use sauce. Its just a bit bland without it. They have like 5 sauces so really you can have a lot of awesome combinations. I like the katsu sauce which is a fancy ketchup bbq type sauce and the teriyaki and of course the chili! \n\nOh, and the wings were fantastic. It is so hard to get good wings at a place that is not a wing joint. These were crispy, big and super saucy. Yum.", "I really like this place. I've only ordered from here twice and only takeout, but it was good both times. The first time I called ahead and ordered the kalua pork with white rice and french fries, the fries were nice and hot, the rice so-so, but the pork was very good with a great smoky flavor and was a pretty generous portion. I have to add that the girl who took my order over the phone, who was also the same girl at the register when I picked up my food, was great. Very pleasant on the phone, very smiley and friendly at the counter and very fast too..I believe the name on the ticket was Bri. Also, my food was ready right on time, I didn't have to.wait and I always appreciate that. I went in again yesterday for takeout again, without calling ahead, and ordered the big kahuna, which includes teriyaki chicken, more of that yummy kalua pork and some kind of beef. The chicken was pretty good, the pork still delicious, but I didn't really enjoy the beef or the macaroni salad. The beef was tough and lacked flavor and a few pieces had too much gristle to eat. The macaroni salad would have been okay but there was just way too much onion in it. I couldn't taste anything but onions and mayonnaise. But again, the service at the counter was great. No complaints there. To sum up, I just won't order beef or macaroni salad from here anymore.", "Have ordered from this place in the past and it was good. When I got my cheese burger and fries yesterday it was disgusting - fries were cold greasy and soggy the burger was cooked gristle and salt - so thinking this Malfunction was a fluke today I ordered the same and.. It Was Worse! Same as yesterday but more salt and more gristle cooked to a salty greasy wad. I called and talked with a indifferent young person who seemed to want to get me off the phone. Oh Well lost another customer no big deal I guess, every business is good at something this place is good at making return customers leave and never look back..", "I grew up in Tucson, but moved to Hawaii in 1976. I help a Hawaiian friend prepare, cook & cater for luaus frequently. There was no laulau, poi or lomilomi salmon, and the only thing that could qualify for \"Hawaiian\" was the kalua pig, which I did not try, everything else was a mix of other cultures' food, teriyaki this and that and some ribs, nothing on this menu that looked appealing to me, but my son was hungry, so he ordered the chicken katsu lunch plate. The chicken was overcooked, dry & hard. The rice hadn't had enough water added to it before cooking & was chewy, hard & dry. The mac salad had a weird sweet flavor, like they added sugar & sweet pickle relish juice. I wonder who runs this place & calls this Hawaiian food, but it's giving real Hawaiian food a bad name to people who don't know any better!", "I will NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. The food was so bland and had no flavor and the amount of food i had for take out was ridiculously small. I love Hawaiian bbq and this was definitely not up to standards. It was a waste of $20... I should of just went to jimmy johns." ]

It was on a fresh baked roll and was absolutely perfect. While I was dining the owner John brought me out fries and onion rings to try and then before I left gave me 2 slices of tomato pie to try. The fries and rings were ordinary fare but the tomato pie had the most wonderful sauce. Everyone was friendly and the place had a nice decor. I will (and have been) recommending this place to everyone and I cannot wait until my next visit.", "delicious :) gluten free pizza is actually tasty. \ngrab a window seat and hopefully get a glimpse of the planes taking off and landing. \ndecor is so so.\nstaff has authentic italian attitude.", "I only gave them one star because I had to.\nI called for a delivery of a vodka pie, a buffalo chicken grinder, and a side of mozzarella sticks.\nLets start off with the fact that it took maybe like an hour and 15 minutes for my food to get here. The delivery man didn't leave with a phone, and ended up calling me from a hotel's payphone and told me I had to wait another 15 minutes after an hour had already passed.\nLet's start with the vodka pie.\nThere was cheese all over the box, the cheese that was actually left on the pizza was cold and congealed, and the pizza was extremely thin.\nThe buffalo chicken grinder tasted like they microwaved ground chicken and poured hot sauce all over it. Then they forgot the cheese so they just slathered congealed cheese over the side of it.\nThe mozzarella sticks tasted like I bought frozen from my local supermarket and microwaved them. The breading was falling off and they were extremely soft and not crispy.\nNow let me just say this.\nI am in no way shape or form a food critic or anything like that.\nI love food, and although sometimes I pay for food that wasn't worth the price, I've never had to just put my food down and make a yelp account just to talk about this.\nGrandmas Grotto is seriously down the street from me.\nWhy did it take so long, Why was my food cold and congealed, and why did I pay 30 dollars for this?\nAuthentic Italian? Uh, yeah, okay. They wouldn't have let my food look and taste like that if they were so authentic.", "I should start by saying that I write this review as a celiac (someone who is allergic to wheat, barley & rye) but that said, this restaurant is fabulous! They have kinds of Italian food that I haven't had in 15 years. I actually had ravioli and cannoli for dessert. Their gluten-free dessert platter has over 15 kinds of dessert on it, including many kinds of cake. \n\nThey also have a counter of cookies, all gluten-free, and sell their own frozen products, including my first stromboli in 15 years. \n\nI think, although I cannot speak to this, that the food for someone who isn't celiac is fine, but if you are a celiac, this place is a mecca. You must go here!", "I am a Celiac and had a \"Philly\" pretzel for the first time in 7 years and it was really good. This restaurant does its best to make all of the foods that anyone on a gluten free diet misses the most, i.e., strawberry short cake , a variety of other delicious cakes/cookies, Italian loaf of bread, bruschetta, pizza, etc. I had their gluten free penne vodka and it was so yummy! \n\nI go there weekly now to pick up my tasty treats and breads. I highly recommend Grandma's Grotto, especially if you're on a gluten free diet. \n\nI am so glad that the owners weren't afraid to invest their time & money on catering to the Celiacs/gluten free eating community.", "This place is very old school inside. Burgundy colored walls with plastic ivy plants in white containers placed in odd places in the dining room. The tables match the walls, the servers shirts match the walls etc. The place needs a remodel. \n\nWalking in, we first noticed the selection of gf cookies in the display and then the freezer full of gf goodies. along with a shelf of Mr. Ritz mixes etc. We asked to be seated (it was late for lunch, there was only one other couple in the place) and my daughter ordered the cxn tenders with fries and I had the cxn tender salad. Our waiter told me is \"really good.\" It was odd, 3 very thin cxn tenders with a handful of iceburg lettuce, a few slices of tomato and a large serving of marinated peppers. My daughter thought her meal was delicious and was thrilled to be able to eat chicken tenders at a restaurant. When we asked for our check, our waiter asked if we had noticed the desserts in the case and I told him we did and they all contained dairy - bummer for my daughter. I did purchase a spinach stromboli to take home (which was pretty darn yummy) , two soft pretzels (which weren't so great) and 2 sprinkle cookies (very very good) and 2 sugar cookies, which I hate to admit. were way better than any cookie I have ever made... maybe not my peanut butter cookies but seriously, they are worth the trip just for them.", "I absolutely love this place. Had a birthday dinner here with a bunch of friends and I was super impressed with the service, food and atmosphere. Prices are decent, menu is extensive (extra kudos for the gluten free fare) and the staff have always been nice and attentive. And don't forget to leave room for dessert!", "This place is incredible! Celiac and non-Celiac alike will appreciate the delicious italian food-but those that are gluten intolerant are especially going to be in pure heaven. Though its a bit outside of Philadelphia, its 110% worth the drive. AMAZING!", "what I love most about this place is that have have 2, very elaborate menus: Gluten free and gluten full! My husband go to have some dishes that he hasn't had in years and, more importantly, they tasted GREAT!!!!! Highly recommended!", "I dined here with my family because we heard about their extensive gluten free menu. My brother, a 7 year old Celiac, used to enjoy all kinds of italian foods before his diagnosis, and over the last few years it has been very difficult having to deny him of the foods like bread and pasta that he loves. \n\nThere are plenty of places that offer tasteless, cardboard gluten-free menu items, but Grandma's Grotto is not one of those places at all! Everything- gluten-free or not, was delicious! Finding a place like this was an emotional experience for us. \n\nThose of us who can eat gluten take slices of bread, pasta and cakes for granted, and Celiacs (especially children) can feel so alienated by their dietary restrictions. It was a very moving experience for us to ALL sit down and be able to eat pizza together.\n\nTheir desserts are out of this world as well. I had the pistachio cake and it was downright amazing. I think that everyone can find something they love at this restaurant." ]

The beer selection is great, with a bunch on tap and a bunch in bottles (including kind-of regional stuff that I generally haven't been able to find in bars on this side of the country, like Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, which sounds appalling but tastes like nostalgia). This is one of the most fun and spirited places in Tucson to catch a college basketball game (or, presumably, other sports, if you're so inclined); sit at the bar, stare open-mouthed at the huge tv screens, and suck up a hoppy rainbow of flavors.", "Where does every club at the Uni of Arizona choose to hold its club meetings, events, etc. : Old Chicago or the mexican place off of Broadway (cannot re-call the name). Came here with my Indo buddy a few times too, good deep dish. \n\nBut the reason why all clubs have their meetings here is: \n- Cheap happy hour\n- Massive appetizer sampler platters - 3 @ $10+ a piece was enough to feel over 20 people. Great for clubs on budgets. \n- Within 4 miles of campus\n\nCons: If you are a member of 4 clubs, be willing to come here 4 times in less than 10 days, it gets old, trust me\n- They messed up my indo buddy and my order every time we came here\n- Can get pricey outside of happy hour, there are better pizza options in Tucson. \n- Service can be very slow\n\nStill, the pizza by itself the second time around since they messed it the first time every time is a 4 star.
