[ "This is the first Saturday evening they are open. We are consistent customers at other PF Chang locations so the menu was no surprise. However the place is noisy, very very noisy - headache producing noisy. We had reservations and were seated on time. I ordered the Hot and Sour soup and Mongolian Beef which is what I usually order Soup showed up before my Ice Tea and without a spoon. Ice tea showed up without a straw. Both problems were quickly rectified by our waitress. However, she placed a dirty plate in front of me just before the main course was served. \n\nShe replaced the plate of course. Then she redeemed her self completely. I asked for a refill on the ice tea and she brought one but noticed that I only had one Splenda left. She brought more with the refill without being asked. \n\nFood was great as expected. We'll probably be back regularly but this is not the place for a relaxing meal. Did I mention that it is noisy?", "I love P.F. Chang's! So with that being said it's opening Saturday night live. I'm not sure what vibe they're looking for, pub/club/restaurant atmosphere because the music was blaring on top of the noise level which did not make for easy conversation. Staff was pleasant and attentive and there were opening night missteps. However that is to be expected. Our usual ribs were spot on- delicious. My Ahi poke bowl was presented in an unexpected manner but good. The chips were over salted for my taste. The Mongolian beef again spot on! Will I return ABSOLUTELY. here's my suggestion, address the noise level. It's irritating and frustrating. How about valet parking? Otherwise, welcome P.F. Chang's. Definitely recommend.", "We went tonight to the new PF Changs in Brandon. It has to be the noieseiest restaurant I have ever been in. They also had music playing on top of that. Terrible acoustics they won't see us again.Waiters had to lean over to take your order.", "I am so excited to have a PF Chang's So close to home. Hubs ordered the Lobster avocado roll for an app. He enjoyed it. I ordered lettuce wraps for an app, which never showed up, but the manager came over quickly and made it right.\nThe Spicy Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken were delicious. I have to agree that it was really loud in there. Hard to carry on a conversation. Also, the floor was REALLY slippery. I spoke with a couple of ladies in the restroom and they said the same. They need to address ASAP before someone takes a huge spill. \nOverall, the staff were Fantastic and the food was good. We will be back!", "Called and no takeout for soup and salad at 11am. There are takeout signs, person that answered phone also needs some customer service training.", "The brandon location just open and was semi decent. Had dinner with a friend and the atmosphere was very noisy on top of super loud music. I ordered the shrimp lo mein and chicken egg rolls. Both items lack seasoning and very bland. The food gave me diarrhea the next morning. The staff was nice and welcoming. Probably will not be going back.", "Turn the music down and the crowd will converse instead of having shouting matches. Our food came out separately (15 minutes apart) so my dish was cold by the time the rice and my husband's entree arrived. \n\nI realize they've only been open a week, but we were disappointed with our experience. The waitress was pleasant but the managers were aloof!", "We sat at the Bar and Benjamin took care of us, it was very busy Saturday night but he was amazing. The food and the drinks are to die for.", "Let me start of by saying - I'm a huge P.F. Chang's fan and rewards member. I basically have my own section and favorite waiter at the Westshore location. Brandon, y'all are gonna need to step up. The music for one is too damn loud. We were yelling at each other during dinner service. Waiters are extremely green- i get that...but come on! When you bring a drink take the old glass, or dishes away. Had to ask for pot-stick sauce, soy sauce and red chili paste and the kid had no idea what we were asking for. Food - was meh. All the vegetables were basically raw and not cooked. Definitely needs some refining. No one came over to ask how our meal was. Felt a little forgotten about ....not fun when you are dropping $125 bucks", "So my husband and I sat at the \"community seating table\" which was completely empty and first come first serve. Several and I do mean several servers whisked by us, going to the bar, yet no one stopped to greet us or take our drink orders. Were they busy, sure it's Saturday night, but they weren't packed. As I said the table that seats 8 was completely empty as well as a few surrounding booths . After 10 minutes my husband and I got up to seek out a manager to let him know what's going on. He apologized for the \"coach-able moment\" and offered to take care of us personally. Even with that we couldn't stay.... why.... my plate was greasy with food bits still on it, my fork had food on it, and my glass was dirty as well!\n\nAfter seeing all of that, I'll opt to eat elsewhere. Tighten up Brandon PF Chang's! We want the same caliber you offer to your Tampa patrons!" ]

[ "An all-around steakhouse chain. This location is in a nice area (plaza frontenac).", "Waiter: Wine by the glass sir?\nMe: Why yes what are you offering?\nWaiter: Here is volume one of our selection I'll have gilberto wheel in volume two.\n\nSERIOUSLY aside from Annie Gunns you can't find a better wine list in St Louis. Over 200 wines by the glass.\n\nIt is unfortunate that this is a chain of restaurants but they redeem the 1 star that I would normally take away, because their service was incredible. Never had to touch the wine bottle, glasses were always full and table etiquete was followed perfectly.\n\nOn to the food... The calimari while It probably belongs on PF Changs menu was delicious with a decidedly asian flare. The bone in Rib Eye I had was prepared to a perfect medium rare, the Steak au poivre was prepared rare for the girlfriend, both delicious. Now for the serious stuff the side dish of sugar snap peas with a little aisian sauce great but the Potatos Fleming Holy Crap I think they're illegal in 8 states a layer of potato then cheese then jalepenos, repeat, repeat, repeat.... I don't know the cheese to potato to jalepenos ratio but you have to get this!!!!\n\nFinish it off with the Chocolate Lava Cake and don't get on the scale for 2 to 3 weeks.\n\nSo good the Dinger doesn't want to leave.", "Simply delicious. \n\nI've been lucky enough on two occasions to be treated to a four-course meal here. This is definitely in the higher price range, but worth it for a special meal. \n\nI've had their seared ahi tuna and bruschetta as appetizer...yum. I actually got the tuna complimentary because they had accidentally made two for the table next to me. That's service! The spinach and portabello salad is also a must-try, if just for the crispy goat cheese on top. \n\nI've also tried their steak, seafood and stuffed chicken. If I had to choose, I'd go with the steak. Top-grade meat cooked to perfection. All of their sides are rich and are large portions. The comment earlier about not stepping on a scale after dining here is so true! \n\nThe wine selection is also good. You are surrounded by the wine rooms, which adds to the ambiance. I was treated to a $150 bottle of champagne, so that only added to the experience. Yes, I am spoiled!", "Fleming's is an upscale chain of steakhouses (brought to you by the folks from Outback) that does things so much better than their faux-Aussie counterparts. Their wine list is superb, and when I do a wine flight, I have always been presented with great examples by the wait staff. My favorite is the filet, and in the four or five times I've visited, I have never had an overcooked steak. The Flemings potatoes are excellent, and so are the shoestring potatoes. Try the mashed potatoes with blue cheese (sense a theme here with starches?) or the creamed corn (damnation, it's good!) On Sundays, they have a prime rib special. The wait staff is absolutely professional, and the atmosphere can be rather romantic (unless there's a table of obnoxious business guys, as we experienced one night.) In all, I really look forward to a meal here.", "I'm a vegetarian...I can't eat a darn thing here. It's kind of annoying, but that's not why I am giving them five stars (obviously, who gives five stars for THAT?).\n\nI have to say, I am a HUGE fan of the happy hour here. They have amazing specials, both on drinks and food, and it makes going to a fancy schmancy place like this a possibility for the poorer folk like myself. Even for the happy hour, the service is AMAZING here and the drinks are incredibly delicious. If you want to sample this place before dropping a lot of dough and you want to really KNOW what you are getting into, come to the happy hour. You will not be disappointed and you won't spend a lot of money. AMAZING.", "I still can't believe how much we ate at our anniversary dinner at Fleming's! Thank goodness for the gift certificate and our healthy appetites.\n\nThe Cajun barbecue shrimp appetizer had a delicious kick and disappeared all too quickly, but our steaks and three sides (Fleming's potatoes, chipotle macaroni and cheese and sauteed spinach) were right behind it. My petit filet was cooked perfectly, Justin enjoyed his steak and we tried to figure out the recipe for those Fleming's potatoes while we savored every bite. Fresh berries with Chantilly cream brought the meal to a sweet close and I probably could've fallen comfortably into a food coma right there in my chair. Since we ordered like pigs, we had plenty of leftovers and everything reheated nicely the next day for lunch.\n\nThe service was quite good, but I noticed something interesting. I realize Fleming's is an upscale place (even if it's a chain), so their service is expected to be impeccable and professional. Our server started out attentive and professional, but almost to a fault. She wasn't cold--more timid, like she couldn't be herself or something. Anyway, Justin and I are pretty laid back kids and once we were able to convey that to her, she loosened up as well. That does not mean our service suffered--in fact, I'd say it was even better because our server ended up having a really warm personality and she continued to be attentive to our needs. \n\nAs an anniversary gift, we were presented with a box of chocolate-covered giant strawberries and a card signed by the folks on staff that night. Definitely a nice touch! \n\nIt's likely we wouldn't have made the trip to Fleming's if we hadn't had a gift certificate, but I'm glad we had the chance to check it out. The food was delicious and our server turned out to be a doll. I'd happily go back--especially if someone else is footing the bill!", "Definitely for special occasions. Fleming's is a classy joint.\n\nI got the Bone-In Filet and it was excellent. My wife got a three-course meal (salad, braised cut of beef, and dessert) and loved every course. Also, would highly recommend the blue cheese butter on the mashed potatoes and the chocolate lava cake.\n\nEvery thing we ate was great. The wine selection was great, but the one I selected (Irony Pinor Noir) was so-so. The service was excellent as well.\n\nOverall, worth every penny and would recommend it highly. I don't give it five stars only because it is a chain. Gotta reserve the highest ranks for the locals!", "Flemings Steakhouse is a great place to dine on steak and have a nice glass of wine. I like their bread and appetizers as well. It's pretty pricey, so go being aware you might spend 30-40 bucks per person.", "I was a little anxious choosing this restaurant for my birthday dinner, considering how uneven the on-line reviews were... and that's exactly what we ended up getting is an uneven night. Four of us dined there, and all four had steaks. I had the \"lite filet\" (6 ounces - came with a bite sized portion of the Flemings potatoes, which was perfect for me, since I really just wanted to try them), another had the \"petite\" (8 ounces) and the two manly men had the \"main\" (12 ounce) Oscar style. The two smaller steaks were perfectly cooked, well season. The larger steaks had issues. One had an entire corner of nothing but fat, at least an ounce worth. At that point it wasn't worth complaining about since he was done anyway. The other was *not* a center cut filet. It was fatty and had gristle throughout. I do think that if the recipient of the steak had pointed it out to the server, they would have replaced it. That's not his style though, and really.. why is Fleming's serving a filet that is obviously not center cut? \n\nThe rest of the meal was great. Fresh bread with two kinds of butter was plentiful. We had mashed potatoes and green beans as sides, both good. Service was attentive, the restaurant is nicely decorated.. a little noisy on a Saturday night, but not too bad.\n\nChocolate lava cake to end the evening... phenomenal.. highly recommend it! The four of us shared the one dessert, since we were pretty stuffed after steak.\n\nThe bill was fairly reasonable, for a nice steak place. Don't go if you're expecting Outback prices. If you're used to Morton's, Ruth's Chris or Jeff Ruby's, this place's bill won't come as a surprise.", "I have been here quite a few times and it has been a great experience except once, so 4 stars. \n\nRecently we went on a Monday night and I was very pleased with the food and service. \n\nThe bread was delicious and it was difficult to choose which type of butter to put on each slice. So I just went back and forth between the two. They were very different, but each delightfully seasoned. \n\nWe split the wedge salad and this was the perfect portion size. \n\nI had the 12 oz. fillet Mignon special. This fillet was (obviously) huge and accompanied by mashed potatoes and green beans, which were all prepared perfectly. The special sauce was to die for. My friend tried it and then asked for some on his steak as well. He had the bone-in fillet, which was also perfectly prepared. \n\nFor dessert, we couldn't choose, so split the creme brulee and also the mixed berries with creme. Both excellent! \n\nWe did not get there in time for happy hour, but the specials were truly that! Very reasonable and a good option if you want to indulge without breaking the bank. \n\nI have to say the valet went above and beyond too. We did not valet, but it was raining when we left, so he asked the server if the valet could go get the car and they did. He gave them the key. Valet had no problem finding it once they hit the panic button and I didn't ruin my new suede shoes. It was a great evening!" ]

[ "I have been to the Mona Lisa that is also a fondue restaurant and the Melting Pot was a totally different experience! It was much more authentic. Our server was very helpful through out the process explaining each course and checking back to make sure we understood. Each course was so different and better than the last ending in a wonderful dessert! I have heard that it can take up to 3 hours to dine but our sever was able to give us the entire experience in only 1 1/2 hours ensuring that we made our movie time! The romantic table was the cherry on top of our perfect date night. I will tell all of my friends to go to the Melting Pot for any special occasion!", "A fun date choice. Don't get the oil pot, for it will add to the hips and burn your lips, and skin.", "Staying downtown and trying to abide by my one main rule when eating out when away from home - something I can't get at home - we decided on the Melting Pot. We made a reservation but for a Saturday night they sure weren't very busy so probably could have got away without one. The service was so excellent. 3 of the 4 in our party had never been before and the waitress did an excellent job of explaining the options and making great recommendations right down to the wine (the wine list takes up more pages than the food on the menu). She even brought us some tasters before we made a final decision.\nIt's a wonderfully fun yet relaxing dinner experience.", "I am a big fan of Fondue. The Melting Pot did not disappoint. The waitress and staff were wonderful and explained things very well. The food was tremendous. The only complaint I had is that there were some private booths yet we were put in an open air bar area. Perhaps the booths were already spoken for, but we were not given an option to sit there, even when making a reservation.", "This place defiantly the best fondue restaurant i've ever been to. the staff was fabulous and i'm going to make sure to come back for valentines day!!\n\n\ni would recommend it to everyone", "Went a dessert after a long time. Yin Yang is a great choclate founde.\nWaiting staff is great and take time to expalin the menu well.", "We recently moved to Idaho (no I'm not), and were taking advantage of having free childcare for our anniversary. Enter: The Melting Pot.\n\nWe hadn't made reservations, but weren't concerned because the place was 80% empty (it was a Monday night). Nevertheless, we waited at the bar for twenty minutes for a table (but they did give us free drinks as we waited!) Once we got to our table, a girl took our order and told us that our server would be with us shortly to get the cheese started. THIRTY MINUTES LATER our waiter came. I tried to convince my husband to leave, but he opted to stay and wait it out.\n\nI'm glad we did, because the food and the (eventual) service was SO worth the wait!!! Everything was delicious. And, of course, fondue is always so much fun and there's something incredibly sexy about feeding your spouse across the table with a long fork. It's baby-making food, for sure. We got an AWESOME cheese starter - spinach artichoke or something... For our meal we got shrimp, filet mignon, ribeye, chicken, and TONS of veggies (totally my fave, despite my love for meat). Their dessert was drool-worthy. I don't recall which one we got, but MAN it made me want to mess in my panties. Gross, I know.\n\nIf you're not in a hurry, go to The Melting Pot. It's fantastic and absolutely worth the money.", "The Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant located in downtown Boise. It opened a few years ago and has been very successful, filling a niche that is otherwise absent in the area. It is also much more than cheese and chocolate dip. \n\nI have visited the restaurant on other occasions for dinner but this was my first for happy hour. My friends and I sidled up to the bar (we often prefer to sit at the bar versus at tables as this offers better access to the bartender for insider knowledge). The bartender of the evening, Bobby, was very attentive and enthusiastic. We couldn't decide on a wine to have so he let us sample several before we made our selection. We really liked this! \n\nThey have a vast selection of their wines for $5 during happy hour, as well as beer and liquor specials. An interesting tidbit about their liquor selection, their well offerings are higher end than most places. So for their vodka, they offer Smirnoff as the well instead of something like Kamchatka. \n\nThey have a special food menu set up for happy hour also. It includes a couple of fondue options perfect for sharing with someone, as well as salads, shrimp, and dips most priced at $5! We enjoyed the Baked Brie with Pesto, Honey and Almond Baked Brie, and the Spinach Artichoke Dip. Everything was fantastic and nicely presented. The brie was served with bread and chips; the chips seemed like an unlikely pairing but actually worked. The spinach and artichoke dip was a more than ample portion of creamy goodness. \n\nA note of mention, happy hour is only available in the bar area. This should not pose a problem, however, as there is ample seating in the bar. The restaurant also has an outdoor patio, as well as several booths throughout- some are very intimate 2-top tables tucked away behind curtains. There were only a few groups in the bar on our visit, but on a trip through the restaurant I noticed most of the tables full....and it wasn't even a weekend evening. \n\nThe owner of the restaurant made his way around the establishment while patrons dined, personalizing each persons visit. This was nice to see as it is a rare occurrence to visit with the owner anymore. This seems to be an area that several restaurants lack but I believe it to be key in keeping diners returning. Every diner wants to feel special and that extra step does just that. \n\nBobby the bartender actually gets big kudos from us. A few days after our visit to Melting Pot, he spotted us downtown and said hello! Nice work remembering us! We will definitely return to the Melting Pot for happy hour and hopefully it is on a night Bobby is working!", "This restaurant isn't for someone on a budget. \n\nI was pleased with the flavor of the fondue, but overall found the cost prohibitive. For melted cheese, bread and a beer, I paid around $25.\n\nThe food was good, but the price and clientele suggest to me it's an after work shmoozing joint.", "Eaten here a few times and I continue to love it. The owners are so sweet, and the food is amaaaazing. I always end up eating too much though (totally my own fault) and one time I undercooked some meat and got sick (also my fault, won't be making that mistake again).\n\nOn the expensive end, but good for a special night out!" ]

[ "Cheap friggin eats, cheap breakfast and cheap donuts, open 24 hours and get to hang out with the JP deputies. Their chicken tender plate is so cheap and so are the mini burgers. If you are on that side of the river, go check it out.\n\nCold, good for smokers, video poker machines and if you are looking for a place to chill without going to a bar, here is your place, it's open 24/7 and safe, parking is in the lot behind the buiding.", "I'll be honest: I've only eaten the donuts and I've never actually been to the shop. \n\nThat said, they make some of the most delicious donuts I've tasted. If you like deliciously soft, thick and chewy donuts, you will be convert. It seems like they use an angel food dough, much like the Southern Maid donuts from north Louisiana that Johnny Cash sang about. \n\nCome here if you're tired of thin, sugary donuts with no substance! You won't be disappointed.", "Like Ashley B., this review is only for the donuts and not having been in the shop. \n\nMy sister lives close by to this place and her and her boyfriend pick up donuts from here quite a bit, so we thought it would be a good way to start our Thanksgiving morning before the feast commenced. \n\nHer BF picked up a dozen...six glazed and six chocolate frosted. I tried one of each with a glass of milk and they were both delicious. They were fresh, soft, and chewy. The glazed have the more liquidy kind of glaze (I'm thinking due to freshness) so you'll need a napkin. There not huge donuts, and I think there about $4 a dozen. I probably could have downed about 5 or 6, but I didnt...", "This is a great little neighborhood coffee shop.\n\nThey serve coffee, donuts, breakfast and the usual coffee house faire.\n\nThe place is family owned by an awesome guy named Phil Songy and the staff is really nice and personable. If you come in, you will be made to feel like a part of the team.\n\nMy favorites are the jelly donut holes and the apple fritter.", "I've been going to this place since I was a little kid. Its your typical donut shop that always have a variety of fresh, tasty donuts. They serve breakfast but the menu is very LIMITED; fries, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, and MINI BURGERS (basically the whole menu). Its the place to be after a drunken night!", "This is our first stop out the door when we head down to Parasols for St Patty's day block party. Need to load up on some grease before the all beer and Jameson binge.\n\nI have had the breakfast and mini burgers. Cant go wrong with either. The donuts are really good, perfect when hot and fresh.\n\nIf you have time or are feeling all breakfasty in T-town, swing by here. You wont be disappointed. Seating can be limited sometimes due to all of the people wearing glittery green on a weekday morning.", "Another great local gem! This place makes their donuts on site and are always fresh. They serve amazing castle burgers that you can order by the dozen, It is a 24 hour joint and there has never been a let down in my case. If you are ever in Terrytown stop on over for some yummy.", "This is probably the best little donut shop on the Westbank. They have all the usuals (glazed, sprinkles, chocolate covered, cake, jelly filled, etc) and they're open 24 hours, so 2 AM donut cravings need never go unanswered. The donuts are fluffy and fresh pretty much any time of day or night, which is impressive when you're making that late-night run. The coffee is fine- nothing special, but no complaints.\n\nThey also serve food- including a decent breakfast for fairly cheap. (So you don't have to subsist on JUST donuts) and they serve it up in a hurry, so no wasted time.\n\nSeating is limited- mostly counter seating and a couple of small tables. They have a high chair if you need to contain a little one, but you'll have to score one of the tables to use it. \n\nAt Mardi Gras, they also make donut king cakes, which are exactly what they sound like (a king cake made of donut dough)- If you are anti-cinnamon, or just want a change of pace, these are a GREAT alternative to the coffee-cake style king cakes. Most of the time you can walk in and get a donut king cake, no need to order in advance. (If you're having a party or something and absolutely need a king cake, you might want to call it in first, though.)", "IF you need to pickup Donuts on the way to work I highly recommend this place.. Probably the best in this area of the wank.. I do not recommend buying their coffee, It's ok just average coffee and should be cheaper.", "Good ole reliable Terrytown Donuts! I have been going here since I was a kid. It has never changed. I love their egg sandwhich just make sure you add cheese!" ]

[ "If you can deal with the craziness of the all-too-small Trader Joe's parking lot, then this is a great place to pick up a fresh bagel and coffee. The line tends to be a little long on the weekends.", "Our motel didn't offer breakfast, so the plan was to hit TJs and pick up stuff we could eat without cooking. What a serendipitous find Jack's next door turned out to be. The kids loved their toasted chocolate chip bagel with cream cheese, and didn't mind the occasional power bagel I forced on them. S and I craved the onion-topped biallys (biallies?), and bought some to take back to LA. Coffee wasn't bad, with Kona, French Roast and European Roast to choose from (flavored doesn't count). \n\nService isn't all that efficient (yeah, I studied operations -- these things bug me). We never got around to trying the more substantial bagel sandwiches because it took so long toasting and buttering the regular ones.\n\nStill, breakfast for four under $10 every morning -- a bargain.", "The correct name for this is \"Jack's Bistro and Famous Bagels.\"\n\n I guess when you are in Santa Barbara and own a Deli, you can call it a \"Bistro\", which nowadays means your restaurant is trying to be upscale, but it really serves sandwiches and coffee, with a few trendy salads, wraps, and panini bread thrown in the the menu to tell you they are cool and you can be to if you only eat here.\n\nActually, this place has the espresso machines to serve beverages a la Starbucks, but they serve Peet's coffee. They have your standard American sandwiches, and \"gourmet\"?? sandwiches like Tuna Melt, Turkey Melt, Reuben, and a Vienna Hot Dog?? (that's gourmet?); and salads and soups, burgers, and pastas (well, only Fusilli and Penne, the \"cool\" pastas!). \n\nBut really folks, this place is known for its breakfasts, served all day, like omelettes, burritos, of course Bagels, and things called Bagelwiches and B-Eggl'S (Like fast food Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches). \n\nThere are 3 locations for Jacks. This one is in the \"Trader Joe's Plaza\" at the Milpas roundabout, where traffic congestion into and out of Highway 101 mixes with local street traffic into a European style roundabout, usually a haven for fender benders. \n\nGrab a bagel and watch the EMS vehicles arrive as you eat. Practice your rubbernecking skills sitting down in the outside patio.", "I've been to this place a few times with friends. I always think I want a B'eggel (their version of a bagel and egg sandwich) but when I see the simple creations they do with cream cheese and lemon pepper and onions (forget what this is called, but it looks heavenly when my companions always order it) I always regret my B'eggel.\n\nDon't get me wrong, the egg ones are good. But I have a serious case of bagel envy every time I'm here!", "We loved this place so much, we went back the next day!! Deluxe burrito was amazing, orange juice fresh and tasty, bagels were yummy and lots to choose from, coffee was coffee, nothing too special, and service staff was friendly. Out side seating is nice, especially since you can see all the rif raf going on in the parking lot. I ordered the B'Eggl which was good, but not as good as the deluxe burrito. I would give the B'eggl 5 stars in comparison to other bagel sands I have had, but go with the burrito for sure!!! Will definitely go back next time I visit SB.", "It's hard not to like a place that does egg bagelwiches. And calls them \"B-EggLs. That makes me laugh, don't ask me why. Inexpensive, satisfying breakfast, and they use Peet's Coffee - big points.", "Everything from a simple toasted onion bagel to their sandwiches, to their wraps are all very good. I also love the fact that they carry Peet's coffee which is one of my Favs as well\nGreat place to go for a quick breakfast or lunch. Even when they are buys they crank out the customers while being friendly", "Great bagels, quick table service, friendly staff. We really enjoyed this place and ate here twice on a recent trip to town. This one is labeled \"express\" so maybe the others are bigger? This has about 8 tables and seems to be bustling pretty much all the time. It's in a busy Trader Joe's shopping center but has ample easy parking. Good prices and a strong value for the cost.", "Wanted to add a quick update that on a five day trip to Jack's, we ate here four times! By the last day, they remembered us and our orders. A definite recommend.", "Yum yum yum! There is an excellent selection of bagels, *cheese bagels!!*, creative cream cheese, pastries, and other breakfast options (omelettes, etc). Make sure you pick up a menu, there are way more options then what you might first expect. The coffee was good and the service was friendly. There was a little bit of a wait for a \"coffee house\", but considering the menu options, I would be alarmed if some of the complex dishes were ready in micro-seconds." ]

Food was delicious-we had charcutterie, watermelon salad (my favorite), potato omelette and the Bikini egg dish (another favorite of mine!). The ricotta pancakes were delicious, perfectly fluffy and moist and the Futbol sandwich was really good and a very nice portion size. General manager and sales manager (Lucy) made time to visit our table several times. Overall, the décor and atmosphere is great. Cannot wait to come back to try the Paella and cocktails.", "I went here last night for the opening and to celebrate a friends birthday. I was impressed with the décor. It was pretty and clean. The staff was super nice, I hope they don't get jaded. I met several friends for drinks by the bar. The full bar was nice. We planned on meeting at their roof top lounge and then going to dinner in their restaurant but roof top was closed. We ordered several small portions of food and it was all delicious. Presentation was excellent. I'm sure every one had their favorite dish, I loved the Huevo Bulla which was eggs, homemade potato chips, serrano ham, potato foam and truffle oil. Here is why I only rated it a 4 star: I tried to order a small desert for the birthday girl but I did not get a response back from the waiter about it. I'm going to cut them some slack since it was opening night. I hope in the future they get some fabulous desert for celebrations. I will definitely be back again.", "We thoroughly enjoyed dinner at Bulla last night! It was apparently their second night open to the public and was booked to the hilt. We made reservations (somewhat late in the game) but neglected to indicate our preference for indoor seating, so we had to dine outside. The weather fortunately cooperated and we had a fantastic meal! \n\nThe assortment of Spanish wines and cocktails was impressive. Each and every tapas dish that we ordered was divine, but most special were the tuna tartar, sautéed garlic shrimp, and kale salad.\n\nWe were too stuffed to order dessert, but I'm sure that's equally wonderful! When in Tampa again, I'll be back!", "Absolutely amazing all around.The food was delicious I love the tapas experience I'm so glad this concept came to Tampa. I've been living in South Tampa for 10 years and I finally have a place that I really really love. I know nothing about Spanish wines but our server was so knowledgeable and so cute she was amazing it was my birthday and she really helped our dining experience Sophia we are coming back to see you.", "Came to celebrate my mom's birthday this weekend and had a great time! Got a bottle of wine, octopus salad, patatas bravas, crispy calamari, arroz caldoso, and some sort of cheese stick dish that I can't remember the name of. Everything was amazing!! So flavorful and tasted so fresh. The staff was great and gave us a little candle on the dessert we ordered. For dessert we had the torrija, churros (omg amazing), and flan de coco. The decor is great and really fits in with the vibe in that part of Tampa. \nWe've been to the location in winter park and they have the same good quality food, decor and staff so we were really pleased!", "Checked out Bulla's first Friday night happy hour and we were not dissappointed. Devon was amazing behind the bar, as were the rest of the bartenders. 50% off from 5-7 including bottles of wine, Bulla has some good ones and some nice cocktails as well. We ordered about 6 different tapas, each was delish and each was delivered within minutes of ordering. The atmosphere was loud and lively. Sitting at the bar was unique too as they open the front windows, but still keep the AC humming. Can't wait to go back, great addition to Soho!", "This is now my favorite tapas restaurant in Tampa Bay. My wife and I stopped in for brunch and we loved everything that we ordered. The Iberian ham, house marinated olives and pintxo moruno were our favorite dishes. We were also big fans of the sangria de cerveza. Our server, Frank, was also fantastic. Hope to make it back to Bulla real soon.", "Went here with a bunch of friends who love to try the new restaurants popping up all over Tampa. We each ordered different tapas to sample and share with each other. The chicken croquettes were my favorite and a big hit with everyone else at the table. Our service was also great, they were very accomadating when more friends showed up and we needed a larger table. Can't wait to return and try out more of their menu!", "Beautiful decor and beautiful food! Grilled Octopus salad and Arroz Cardoso are amazing! Get here as fast as you can you won't be sorry.", "Great atmosphere and everything we ordered was amazing. We only had 4 Tapas Plates between 4 of us and drinks but next time we plan to order more. Ca't wait to go back!" ]

I was amazed to find so many items that were Gluten Free too.", "We've been to the Lambertville location a few times and always loved it. So happy they're now in Doylestown. Awesome food and nice people. BYOB is always an added bonus. We'll be going at least once a month.", "Decent during slow hours", "Restaurant needs to decide if they are Mexican or Peruvian. The Mexican food was just ok (Very Over-Priced). We had the tamales...and for $12 you get 1 tamale and lettuce. The Peruvian was slightly better. We had the Aji De Gallina ($18) and the Yuka Fries ($10). The Aji De Gallina was tasty. Needed more spices to be called authentic and missing a key ingredient...Parmesan cheese. We tried to order one of the most popular Peruvian dishes...Pollo Saltado but it was not being cooked at this location. Really? I have 2 recommendations for the restaurant...pick a region and lower your prices by $3 per plate. Otherwise, I can't see this place lasting more than 6 months.", "We tried Quinoa and were both very happy with our meals. Delicious, great service. Can't speak to authenticity as I've not been to Peru, but it was great. Perfect amount of heat, added great flavor, not overwhelming. We will definitely go back. Very happy to have something different in Doylestown.", "Went here once and it was good, second time it was awful. Bad service, the food was slightly different, and they made excuses the whole night. We waited at least an hour for our entrees and they said the computer messed up but then the manager said the kitchen ran perfectly. Too expensive for the medium to low quality food. Dont go.", "Superb recipes, fresh ingredients, attentive staff. I had the ceviche shot, Pescado Ranchero tilapia. Visit brant open atmosphere. My favorite Doylestown restaurant and perhaps the best Peruvian food in Philly area.", "Shame, shame, shame on you! We checked in for our 5 pm dinner reservation and the host asked us how many are in our party. When we responded two with a possibility of a third person joining, the host responded impatiently, \"Well, is it two or is it three?\" Strike one. We then ordered the guacamole (very good) for appetizer, lomo saltado for dinner (tender and flavorful beef but sparse for the price!) and caramel quinoa flan for dessert (beautiful presentation, not a creamy texture as to be expected from the quinoa, and had an anise/liquorice note to the flavor which I didn't like). Then, after eating our dessert and as we were having a pleasant conversation...the unthinkable happened! The host came up to our table and said, \"Um...our 7 o'clock reservation is here, so can you guys leave now?\" Really? Wow! Btw, on our way out there were two empty tables! Will not be patronizing this business again. This dining experience really left a bad taste in my mouth... literally!!!!!", "Amazing food and incredible service. I am a huge fan of their \"sister restaurant,\" El Tule in Lambertville, and I am excited to have their new location so close to my home in Doylestown! It's not as cozy as the Lambertville restaurant, but it also helps reduce the wait time for a table on a busy Friday.\n\nIt gets brownie points for bring a BYO and the food is truly authentic Peruvian. I recommend the red snapper tacu tacu and the ceviches. The ceviche chifa is my favorite because it has such a unique oriental flavor with crispy wontons for added texture. The steak tacu tacu is also one of THE BEST STEAKS that I have ever had!", "We've been to both El Tule and Quinoa several times and have always enjoyed every moment and every morsel of food. The service has always been exceptional so I don't know what D.P., Susan L. and Stacy are talking about and Martha just seems to have a long winded vendetta or an agenda against this restaurant. If D.C. has such better restaurants then eat in D.C. but don't discredit these good people. You can't get more authentic for Peruvian food than Quinoa, the family immigrated from Peru and make yearly trips back for recipes and techniques. Also one of the chefs if from Mexico. To criticize a restaurant that makes everything from scratch is ludicrous. And to expect American size proportions is unrealistic. Every place has an off night now and then, but this family works very hard to make their restaurants the best they can be. And the waiting situation isn't any different than any number of restaurants in the area we've been to, some lines go out the door and into the lot. This isn't a fast food restaurant and isn't meant to be. I can honestly say I have recommended this restaurant to many people and have always heard back about how much they enjoyed their meals, the presentation of the food (upscale) and the ambience. I highly recommend it!" ]

[ "Great little market and deli. They make their own soups (example mushroom brie, cream of asparagus, pumpkin bisque) and foods to take out and I would classify as almost gourmet. Also nice selection of wine, St Petersburg Bagels, and specialty foods. The Deli features Dietz & Watson meats that do not have all the MSG, extenders, antibiotics, and growth hormones found in most American meats. They have tables outside however we have always taken food home. They have wine tastings on Thursday nights. They also serve breakfast sandwiches on bagels but we have never tried them. JJ's really need a web site. They are owned by Kaunas bar next door which is a big surprise as no comparison in their foods.", "Cute little neighborhood market. The deli is delicious and they are always making something new for dinner every night. They also have a variety of essential grocery items (milk, eggs, bread, etc) which makes it very conveinant as there is not a grocery store super close to that area.", "Adorable! I'm visiting my family from NYC and, although I do enjoy a Publix, I hate that I can never get all the specialty stuff that NY markets have to offer. Like, say, crunchy baked green beans. Dot ask my why, but sometimes a crunch green bean is enjoyable in a sea of lays.\n\nAnyhow, this little treasure of a deli has all that and some pretty tasty prepared food too! We had the Cuban and balsamic vinegar sandwiches along with broccoli and asparagus salad. All quite fresh and tasty! They also have a cute wine selection, nothing life altering, but a good alternative to the grocery store choices. And the staff was very helpful in guiding me on their favs, respectively.\n\nAll and all, a lovely experience. I shall return.", "Love this place and it continues to get better and better. Great lunches, always interesting side dishes, and the beer selection is always consistent in that they seem to always have some new featured brews that are great. I have only brought home dinner from there 1-2X (meatloaf was awesome, btw), but their quality didn't diminish from lunch. \nThe big surprise for me is their catering capabilities. I have used them at my company for at least 20 meals including a mix of lunch and breakfasts and they are really good. Jody will work with you on customizing and coming up with creative options so that it isn't the 'same old thing' time and time again. Our groups have been as little as 10 people to as many as 30 - and the food, setup, and delivery has been perfect. \nOnly reason that I didn't put 5 stars is that I think with age, this place continues to improve and i need a star to add later - I hope.", "What else can you ask for??? Good deli, good food, good selection of beers and good service. This is heaven for a working family without time for the kitchen and don't want to eat fast food all week. Each day the chef prepares a different kind a plate and several options in the side. These people cook with passion and love the kitchen, using fresh ingredients. All the times I have visited this place the order is to go, re-heated at home and had an excellent meal after a day of work. Last time I had the lasagna and the lemon chicken, both were excellent. The lasagna had a very well balance between the meat and the cheese. The lemon chicken wasn't dry and the lemon flavor wasn't overwhelming. Definitely will keep going...", "Had the Italian sandwich for lunch today. Good stuff. Not life changing, but far better than the chains in the area like Firehouse and Subway. Nice small selection of organic and locally made stuff too was a nice touch. Will definitely be back.", "Quirky local market/deli right across from Derby Lane on Gandy Blvd. Mentally, I was comparing this to the neighborhood Italian delis I remember from the NYC suburbs, but that's unfair. That was there; this is here. For Florida's left coast, this is good stuff.\n\nThe market is a largish space, with not much stuff in it. Various gourmet-type groceries: handy, but mostly available elsewhere for less. Some wines, fancy candies, Kahwa coffee, a few cheeses, etc. Not a good place for that type of shopping. But the take-out food is great, and the prices are reasonable.\n\nI tried a Reuben sandwich my first time: not Carnegie Deli fare, but better than others I've eaten around here. Tasty ingredients, well assembled, nicely cooked. They warned me that it wouldn't travel well, which was good advice (soggy after too long). Last night, we tried the Italian dinners: one lasagna, one chicken Alfredo. Decent-sized portions, reasonable price, and they include some garlic toast and a simple garden salad. They also have some unusual and very tasty deli salads.\n\nI agree with Geno K. that this is not life-changing, but definitely better than the chains. I recommend that you try this place at least once or twice- you may get hooked. I plan to return to taste the lemon chicken one night soon...", "This place is amazing! All ingredients are fresh and the service is great. Don't think of it as a restaurant - it's more of a deli/market (as the name indicates) - but they have a couple tables to eat inside. I love the great selection of craft and micro brews, and they even have a good assortment of wine at various price ranges and styles.", "Great place to wine down, I'm there @ least two to three times a week..Very nice Owners and staff, Jody and her crew are great, They will make it right for you. As we all struggle with the economy today, Please go see them @ JJ's, you won't be disappointed, As a local and a resident of Saint Pete, Thank you for being in the neighborhood...Ohh yeah very bike friendly...", "Wanted to check out what the interpretation of a Deli is here in Fl. I have to say JJ's has executed a NY style Deli rather well. Menu items are typical deli fare with some variations as well. Beer selection is very good and seems to be changing often . I ordered the Cuban and I did enjoy it , the meat / cheese and bread ratio is above average. It wasn't the best Cuban I had but the charm of the establishment adds to the whole experience. I do like Dietz and Watson products however, I would've preferred to have Boar's Head option , they are a huge step up across the board.\nThis place is valuable asset in an area dominated by fast food and supermarket options. I do like Publix deli but this place is a more of gourmet deli that offers more higher quality and delicious options that what makes a true Delicatessen is all about." ]

[ "After a very heated discussion with my GF about the state of our relationship and possibly ending my stay here in the bountiful south I ventured out to do some exploring on my own down that magical stretch of road known as Dale Mabry. I'd been warned about the dangers and perils of the highway, but to hell with that I needed my space. That same devil may cry attitude is exactly when.....\n\n\"ACCIDENTS HAPPEN!\" Don't you love it when announcers use that echoed booming voice to announce dramatic things. \n\nOnly in Tampa Bay can you get rear ended by a rambling Danny Devito clone dressed in puece scrubs, driving an 82 Wrangler and find a decent Chinese satellite restaurant in he same hour. As I'm sitting here leeching off the wireless connection of the Altell store next door I begin to wonder if Tarantino would wanna write a screenplay of this. \n\nDimly lit (just the way I love it in a restaurant) with the soothing tones of light conversation and Norah Jones mewling in the background it's kinda hard to believe you're not in one of it's parent (PF Chang's if you didn't know) restaurant's. The menu offered all the familiar fare but due to my ordeal less than 15 mins ago I'm in no mood to be picky. So I order my old staples, Crab Rangoon and Lo Mein/w chicken. Both were carbon copies of the original which makes them delicious and satisfying, not to mention a value (which is important to me now only because if the jokers' who hit me insurance doesn't pay up I'm gonna have to fork over a couple of thousand for a new rear end). Although I did miss having a waiter actually mix the sauces for me (which is always my favorite part) the self service part wasn't that bad. I actually over tipped the bus boy for bringing me a ink pen to scribble some notes on some loose leaf, but I'm keeping his pen so I guess it all evens out. Not bad for a place I never intended on stopping in in the first place.\n\nAll in all I could've easily done without the accident, and though the discussion with my GF was a necessity I truly would've rather skipped all that and went right out to lunch.", "I love the iced orange green tea. So yummy!!\n\nThis delicious, SAFE (as in NOT SKETCHY) Chinese food restaurant costs the same as all the skethy chinese food restaurants around town. Why anyone goes to those dumps is beyond me.. ANYWAY, I love getting the veggie fried rice with the hot and sour soup. Yum, yum to fast service-- less then five minutes to get my meal.", "I wonder how different Pei Weis get different star levels, but for now I will be confounded. \n\nThis location is good, which means close to Dale Mary and I-275. \nThe food is identical to all other Pei Wei Diners. \nRecommended for the person seeking Chinese or Asian (they have Thai dishes) without having to worry in anyway about the type of meat and level of cleanliness.", "Food sucks. Fried rice too sweet. Korean dish was too salty and the veggies were not cooked all the way. I would have never came here but my thoughtful aunt gave me a Gift Card to PF Changs *sigh* . She probably got it as a gift and just gave it to me. Here is a hint for those who like to explore asian food. If you don't see Asians in the restaurant, its most likely its not good asian food.", "It's Chinese food; quick, pretty tasty, and affordable. This restaurant is owned by PF Changs, but the available selections have been scaled down substantially. Get in line to peruse the menu and order. Choose a table and they'll bring your food to you in about five minutes, maybe quicker. \n\nQuality and taste of the food is good. I'm not fond of restaurants where orders are not taken at the table, but decent food and quick service will make Pei Wei a regular stop for me. I wouldn't come here on a Saturday night out, but it's great for lunch, or weeknight dinner.\n\nI did notice a separate door which allows for fast take-out service.", "This is supposed to be PF changs less pricey side. Unfortunately it seem they sacrificed quality too. I eaten there plenty and even if I order the same dish it always taste different. Too sweet or not enough sauce who knows it always a toss up. You may get lucky though if you're a gambler", "I've eaten at this place twice. The first time I ordered a bowl of hot and sour soup, and Mandarin Kung Pao. The Mandarin Kung Pao is listed under their \"signature dishes\", and their menu indicates that these dishes can be ordered with Beef, Chicken, Shrimp, or Vegetables and Tofu. I asked if I could have a mixture of Chicken and Shrimp, and was told \"sure.\"\n \nThe hot and sour soup was ho hum . A generous portion, but not very exciting or very spicy. The Mandarin Kung Pao with Chicken and Shrimp was outstanding. It was so good that I went back two days later to order it again. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite as good the second time. Maybe 3 stars where the first time I had the dish was worthy of 4.5 stars.\n \nThere are a lot of cooks back there working in the open kitchen, which could account for the variability. I will definitely try it again.", "It obviously lacks authenticity and is just an infusion of American-Chinese fast food joint. The menu does look appealing as the open kitchen too, however, the flavors can be compared to a pop-in-microwavable frozen Chinese meal. Well, it's not THAT bad but you can find better Chinese food in the mall's food court. I guess it's a great place to grab some lunch if you don't care for it's authenticity but rather for something to fill your belly.", "I go to this place from time to time and I think it's great! The food has lots of flavor and the price is reasonable. I tried the Mongolian Beef and it was delicious. I also tried the Asian Slaw Salad and that is one of my favorites. Yes you get in line to order, but at least they bring it to the table. I love all the different sauces they offer too. I recommend!!", "Fast. Great food. Reasonable prices.

Not exactly the Kolaches of my childhood across the Atlantic, but quite a delightful alternative of sweet dough filled with savory or sweet ingredients. Our family favorites are ham and cheese, bacon egg and cheese, cream cheese and apple. One kolache feeds one young child, two-three for adults. Ask to warm them up - much better that way. Decent coffee, standard drink options. \n\nI have previously used the North- East location to cater kids' birthdays and the food was definitely a hit compared to cold and tired sandwiches. \n\nI wish this location stayed open until 4 pm for mid-afternoon snack alternative. As of now, closes at 2 pm.", "been jonesing for a Kolache since the old Indy airport shut down.

I'm a fan of carbs so when you wrap delicious cheesy, meaty, eggy, breakfasty goodness inside of bread, you've pretty much made my ideal food.\n\nWe had driven past this place a few times while going to lunch elsewhere in Carmel and decided today was the day we were going to stop in. I went to Google the menu and found a buy three, get three free coupon instead.

I haven't gotten to any of the breakfast ones yet (I was full after two) but the chicken enchilada was my favorite. I also sampled the BBQ beef and enjoyed that.\n\nThis is definitely a place I'll be taking my mom when she comes into town. Yum!", "Just discovered these from a coworker recommendation, and love them!! Have been back twice already!", "I heard a pastor talking about these rolls that were filled with all kinds of yummy goodness that made my tummy growl just hearing about them. Fast forward several weeks and I'm looking at Yelp for places near my job where I could go for lunch and lo and behold I see the Kolache Factory. I checked them out online, reveled at all of the choices and then ordered online for pickup. They were ready in 10 min, the people were friendly and the food was yummy and super inexpensive. Needless to say, I created an account online and will be back again and again!", "Nice place to try and a lot of combinations some of which are experimental. Not the best Kolachees I have ever had but the best you can find in Indy. Recommend the chocolate cream cheese with coffee and ask them to serve the kolache warm.", "It's carb heaven for sure. The koulache reminds me of a cross between siopao (Chinese) and Empanada (Latin). Great little place and each item is filling and definitely priced right. There's a lot of breakfast fillings available as well as savory items and dessert. They also offer catering which is great for office meetings.", "Ok, I have to admit...I had to Google what a kolache was. Be honest, did YOU really know what it was? Ok, ok...maybe you did. Anyway...I wasn't sure what to expect. I just knew I was getting some sort of baked-pastry-bread-thingy filled with...stuff. Well, it was good. Some better than others (yeah, I had more than a few...don't judge me) but in general they're all pretty good. Are they the best thing I've ever tasted? No. But they're still pretty tasty. They're the kind of thing you're not overly impressed with at first, but then a day or two later you find yourself craving a kolache. The place itself is nice and clean. Service has been good every time I've been there. And I think the price is very reasonable. 2-3 of these and a coffee would make an excellent breakfast. I do wish they stayed open later because I find myself wanting a kolache after work sometimes. So boo to their 2pm closing time!", "Today was a whirlwind. No. \n\nToday was a category 4 hurricane. Not quite a 5, but plenty of destruction to go around. My frustration at discovering I'd left my lunch at home was quickly replaced by a twinge of inspiration. I grabbed my phone and flipped through my Yelp \"to try\" bookmarks. The closest candidate to the office? You guessed it. Kolache Factory.\n\nI hopped in the car and was walking in the door in no less than 7 minutes, surprised to find the place so empty at 12:30 in the afternoon. There were only a handful of other people and they were on their way out as I stepped up to the counter. I'm guessing they're geared toward more of a breakfast/brunch crowd?\n\nMy mind raced as I stared at the menu. I remembered a review that mentioned the ham & cheese. Sold. Next up - a sweet option. I queried the counter lady what she would suggest. This is where things got a bit rocky. I asked for a recommendation and the response was a shrug followed by a half-hearted flip of her hand in the direction of some options that looked like they were topped with some jam-ish type stuff. I panicked. Despite the absence of other customers behind me, I felt the pressure kick in. Make a decision. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, do it!\n\nCherry? I blurt this out half questioning, half begging for guidance. Panic over. She turned and added a red blob topped option to the bag with my ham & cheese selection. I'm handing her my credit card before I know what happened. She hands it back and I realize I have no beverage with my lunch. Second transaction completed, and I'm on my way out the door. I don't know how to feel about my experience at this point. It was weird. An empty establishment and disengaged service? Maybe it was just the crazy bent of my day continuing? Driving back to the office I remember the other thing from the reviews of Kolache Factory I'd noted - have them warm them up for you. Drat. Cold kolache for me, I guess. My heart plumeted again when I looked in the bag and noticed the cherry topping smeared over my ham & cheese kolache. Sad face. \n\nAfter my first bite, I didn't care. No way. No how. They were scrumptious!! I wanted a dozen more, but I was completely full after just two. I didn't even get a picture of the cherry one because I wolfed it down with such enthusiasm. I was two bites into the savory option before I remembered to take a photo. \n\nI want to do Kolache again. Soon. I want to do it better. Calmly select my options rather than panic rush. Have the kolache warmed. Bring a book and enjoy a peaceful lunch in the quiet restaurant rather than at my desk with one hand on the keyboard. I was jazzed by the food and underwhelmed by the service. But, maybe that was just this nutter of a day? One thing is certain, I'll forgive quite a bit for just one more bite.", "Love this new location for the Kolache Factory!!

[ "Great new pizza place in downtown Kirkwood! The pizzas are both traditional and unique and the salads are excellent. You can't miss with Dewey's!", "Simply the best Pizza in St. Louis, imho. Not the Imo's kind either. Their crust is \"traditional\", neither Chicago thick nor St. Louis thin, most similar to New York style. They prepare them right in front of the waiting area, so you know there is no monkey business in the kichen,and if you have kids it can keep them entertained during your wait for a table. If you go at usual dinner hours, be prepared for at least 45 minutes wait time.\r\n\r\nMy favorite is the meatball pizza. They have all kinds of specialty pizzas based on 2 (or 3?) sauces which can be spiced differently depending upon the style of pizza. For instance, the aforementioned meatball pizza adds basil. They are also happy to go 1/2 and 1/2, on 1 pie for instance 1/2 meatball 1/2 BBQ chicken.\r\n\r\nA tip for 2 if you want a salad, instead of ordering 2 small salads, order 1 regular and 2 plates. The regular size is more than enough for 2, perhaps even just right as a pre-pizza appetizer for 3. Another tip, don't go there if you don't want pizza, their other menu choices are limited at best. They do serve beer, wine, and some mixed drinks but I would not call it a full bar. Overall, prices are California Pizza Kitchen like...high for Pizza but not high for a meal.\r\n\r\nService is great, they employ a team serving system. If anyone walks by your table and sees you low on a drink, or with some extra plates, or whatever you can expect them to stop and take care of you. Somehow, they manage to do this without being too intrusive. Bravo!\r\n\r\nThere is a location in U City as well, we've been to both and they were equally pleasing and almost identical in layout, food, and service.\r\n\r\n5 stars for Pizza (which is not the same as 5 stars for all restaurants)", "This is for the Dewey's Pizza on North & South and Delmar. \n\nArguably the best pizza house in St Louis. Unlimited amount of options and gourmet toppings. The service is outstanding. Their are no reservations and wait times can be long at times. But, the wait is worth it. \n\nI recommend a white pizza with chicken, fetta, pesto, and light olive oil.", "I agree, the best pizza chain in St. Louis. Aims for the gourmet type. From my experience, only people from St. Louis like Imo's. Overall, not that many pizza choices. Sometimes, I also eat Racanelli's. Wasn't that impressed with Black Thorn.", "Now I never really hang out in downtown Kirkwood because I have never really had a reason to go there for anything, a couple of days ago though, I did find myself there. I was meeting up with some friends out there for lunch since that was the closest thing to being in the middle that we could agree on; we went to Dewey's Pizza.\n\nSo I've been to the other Dewey's Pizza over in University City. Both are great places, but they have somewhat of a difference in atmosphere from one another. The Kirkwood Dewey's seems to have a mixture of a family restaurant element mixed in with it. I guess that would be appropriate because, it is geared towards families and such.\n\nThe place is friendly and the service is great. I had a wonderful lunch and the pizza tasted delightful.", "Maybe it's a bit morose to eat an Edgar Allen Poe, but no more morose than the late poet's dark exploration of the human heart. Besides, everything tastes better with cheese.\n\nEspecially at Dewey's, where a few of the great artists of our time get posthumous recognition by having their own pizza (Socrates is another example).\n \nThe aforementioned Poe pie has on it mushrooms, roasted garlic, kalamata olives, goat cheese, mozzarella and fontina cheeses, tomatoes and parsley.\n\nKind of makes me want to create a poem to express just how delicious it is, but I'm afraid it would turn out cheesy.", "Great pizza!! Thanks is really all you can say about this. Now this is \"fancy pizza\" and they have a lot of great different toppings, it is going to cost you more then Dominoe's but it is worth every penny. The salads are great as well. You can't go wrong eating here. They have beer and wine available, but not a full bar.", "I like Dewey's a lot. The pizza is good and it has it's own flavor. I usually do take out if I'm getting any kind of pizza- but the restaurant area is pretty fun! HOWEVER- I will gripe at the fact that you have to watch who is making your pizza... (I don't know how I feel about actually watching 16 year old kids (boys at that) making my food. I usually try to forget about that aspect when I'm eating pizza...", "Amazing Pizza and salads and calzones! this is definitely my favorite pizza place. The candid walnut and grape salad is fantastic. although everything you get is great.

[ "I would come here everyday after school and it's popularity seemed to catch on quick with other locals. Delicious smoothies!!\n\nMy favorite smoothie was the Rockin' Raspberry. It contained raspberries, bananas and strawberries. Everything is prepared behind the counter in front of you (except the food- sandwiches) and you can see the ingredients they mix in. \n\nAs far as their sandwiches go, they're pretty good. From wraps, to fresh bread on the sandwiches, They have large salads and healthy snacks behind their counter, organic things, fresh baked cookies as well.\n\nThere is some dining space within the restaurant and outdoor seating, or you can grab and go someplace else. I love coming here on hot summer days in FL to taste their sweet smoothies.", "I love this place, have been coming here for years now. I love their wraps and now they have a new selection of taco items. Their smoothies are generally good. I usually choose the yogurt-free smoothies if I know I'll be eating, since the ones with yogurt are very filling and you end up replacing a meal. They use turbinado in all their smoothies which is minimally-refined type Of cane sugar, often considered healthier than brown and white sugar. My favorite smoothie is their totally green with kale, cucumber, celery,..etc. Yum!", "Great smoothies!!! The food can be hit or miss at times but I'm still here every week. The staff here is SUPER AWESOME!\n\nMost smoothies don't even need the added sugar. The Peanut Paradise is sweet enough without added sugar. \n\nI love that their food specials change on a regular basis. Keeps things new and exciting. Some have been great. Some have been not so great. However, I think that's just a matter of my personal taste. Not that the food is \"bad\". \n\nStill the best staff here. They're always friendly and always smile. Friendly customer service is getting harder and harder to find. So, I treasure AND thank the places that have it!", "Love it, I wrote a review once before but it magically disappeared so here I am to tell you that I prefer the prices here over smoothie king. I do not know how they can survive with the high cost of their product compared to the delicious tasting smoothies and food that they offer here at tropical. \n\nThe peanut butter cup with soy protein is my favorite and the price is just right and it is down the street from my gym. I do not get here often but when in the area I tend to stop in and take advantage of the best thing ever in my personal opinion.", "It took 6 attempts for the Jeff Spicoli working the counter to get it right.

The smoothies are usually always perfect, and everyone is nice who works at this location as well as the Park Blvd location. There is tons of seating!\n\nI know from personal experience that Tropical Smoothie uses real fruits. \nIf you come here often, buy a promo cup! You get a discount every time you bring it. \nI recommend the Pineapple Delight, Beach Bum, and Health Nut.", "The location is close to Tijuana Flats and can be a little hard to find. I have driven past this location multiple times without noticing it.\n\nThis was my first smoothie place since moving to Florida. I got the smoothie and a half combo. I chose the health nut supercharged smoothie with whey and the wasabi Caesar roast beef sandwich.\n\nThe smoothie was tasty and I have a weak spot for food with nuts in them. The smoothie size of 24 oz is decent and could probably warrant sharing if desired. Also, the sandwich was tasty and I enjoyed the wasabi and Caesar twist on it. The main downside is service seems to be a bit spotty.", "The smoothies are always good here, but it can take awhile with the lunch rush and through the afternoon.", "Tropical smoothie is one of my favorite fast food restaurants to go to. When I don't feel like having something greasy or french fries or crave something healthy this is my go-to place. One of my favorite smoothies is blimey limey. But I am attempting to try at least one of each type of smoothie. The last one I tried had avocado it was much better than I thought it would be. What I really like is you can choose not to have sugar added artificial sweetener or use their regular terminado sugar. I also really like the rats in the salads. If I'm craving roast beef I like the roast beef sandwich with horseradish. You can even choose healthier bags of chips if you decide to get a meal. Tropical smoothie will also cater events. They are good for a platter of wraps and a tray of smoothies for your next work event.", "November 2015. They are in process of remodeling.

You can get burgers with a variety of toppings for around $6, poboys for $7 (stay away from the RB but the others are OK) and liberally-sized lunch entrees with sides any time for about $7. They also have a breakfast and late night selection for those times of day. \n\nI've ordered delivery from them several times, and they've consistently brought my food to me within 40 minutes. They also take care with the packaging - if there's gravy in your entree they put wax paper between it and your bread so your bread won't get soggy, and wrap the entire container in saranwrap so nothing spills. This sort of attention to detail is a good way to ensure my repeat business.\n\nThough their poboys aren't as good as the ones from Verti Mart they deliver much faster and offer more consistent service. In fact, they've been so good to me on my lazy hangover days that I decided to upload their menu :)", "this place was amazing! Located at the 'dead' end of Bourbon st.

Yes..New Orleans may have 24 hour drinking...which blows away NYC...but NYC has 24 hour deli's, pizza, etc...\nThis was a great place (from what the locals told me) to buy something to eat at a cheap price in the french quarter.", "I've been meaning to write a review about this place for a long, long time. When I go to New Orleans, I only have a few requirements - an Irish coffee at Molly's at the Market, a drink or five at The Avenue Pub, brunch at Bayou Barbecue, and at least one po-boy from Quartermaster. It's not a place for the faint of heart - the staff is surly, the environs look to have not been fully scrubbed in at least 20 years or so, and if you have dietary restrictions, just smelling the miasma of frying foods is enough to give you palpitations. But hell, it's New Orleans, so you should damn well be used to all of these things. \n\nI promise you this, though - you will not get another po-boy so delicious at any other place in the city, so that probably means you won't find one anywhere else in the world. From the fresh, flaky and chewy French bread, to the crunch of the lettuce and every bite of fillings in between, you will be in heaven. Just don't make my mistake and think you need to start in on a second one right away, OK? Take it from a pro - just go again tomorrow." ]

(Fear not, he and his crew were from Vietnam, I was not just assuming.) Well, now just follow Vina Baguette around town at one of Tucson's many food truck round ups. I was lucky enough to try them on their 2nd day of operation at the Civano neighborhood roundup. I ordered the \"special\" which is a nicely marinated traditional style pork Banh Mi. The baguette was perfect- nice and firm yet airy. The pork was perfection- full of succulent flavor with that nice red traditional color from the marinade. Fresh cilantro, cucumber, daikon, carrot, and pate rounded out the sandwich, and it all came together perfectly! Now smear on some pate and you have heaven. Seriously, it is so fresh and so flavorful, the clouds will part and little angels playing the harp will serenade you as you delight your palate. The only thing I missed were a few perfectly placed jalapeños. They also offer a grilled chicken, grilled beef or meatball version. To wash it down they have boba milk tea, iced green tea, Vietnamese iced coffee, or soda. The best part is it's only $3.75! Seriously, $3.75!!!!!!!!!!! It was so good, I went back to get another two- I wanted to squirrel it away it was so good!!! But they were sold out. \n\nI'm counting down until my next visit. Follow them on facebook or twitter.", "I've been searching forever for quality bahn mi. I like this truck: it's The real deal. Very nice bahn mi sandwiches at a fair price.

It was pretty good and reminded me of how much I missed going to Lee's Sandwiches in Cali. \n\nI really wanted to try the boba but they could not sell drinks at the food truck round up location due conflicts with strip mall vendors. \n\nA few days later I drove past Vina Baguette by chance. I decided to stop and try the boba Milk tea. It was delicious. Best I've had in Tucson so far. I got to speak with the owner for a bit and he takes pride in his food. He told me he makes his boba fresh every day. You can taste it. The boba isn't hard and flavorless like a lot of places around Tucson. Instead is it soft yet chewy like boba is suppose to be. The owner also talked about his food menu and welcomed any suggestion. \n\nToday I was deciding what I wanted for lunch/driving towards Taco Tote, I thought to myself maybe I should see where Vina Baguette was at today. I sure lucked out because before I could pull over I saw the truck. It was a sign. Lol. \n\nThe owner remembered me and I asked him about his menu change. He added a tofu and a garlic shrimp sandwich. Also the Banh Mi went up in price by $1. The owner explained that people were requesting more meat in the sandwich. He decided to add more meat and increase the price by one dollar. He said the increase in meat is substantial and that you get a lot more for the dollar. He was right. I noticed easily double the amount of meat compared to last time. \n\nI ordered the Banh Mi, Garlic Shrimp(tomatoes, lettuce, pickled carrots, actual garlic, and shrimp) and a boba to wash it down. All three were delicious. I know if I wasn't happy or had suggestions, I could go to the owner and he would take me seriously. One can tell from talking to him he is very humble yet very proud of his work, and genuinely welcomes suggestions/criticism. \n\nGive this place a try. The food is great and the owner is super nice. Just spend one minute talking to him and you will see he does it for the love of the food and for his customers.", "Cheap but fantastic food truck food? Your pit stop should be RIGHT HERE.\n\nThe MUST ORDER (especially if it's your first Vietnamese sandwich from here) is the \"Banh Mi Special\" like other Yelpers (Kai Y., Rich Y., and Christy F.) have posted. My photo will especially illustrate the generous portion they provide for the cheap cost (Yes, under $4 when I last went at a food truck round up)! The sandwich was so huge we were able to split it amongst 3 of us! Vina Baguette gives you a genuine taste of a true Vietnamese sandwich. The baguette itself is soft and warm, yet crispy. The pork and traditional veggie toppings (cilantro, jalepeno, carrots, etc.) in addition to the Lard spread were just as I remember when I ate them in Houston ~ one of the best places for Vietnamese food in the US in my humble opinion. :)\n\nBottom Line: Me being a fan of food trucks, this is one of my highly recommended trucks to track down in Tucson!\n\nWill update this review as I go back and try their other new sandwiches, thanks Kai Y. for posting their new menu!\n\nEat it up!", "What a lunch truck gem. There was a lunch truck round up at Cartel last month, and immediately this was the place, I couldn't get enough of.\n\nMy husband and I both ordered the Banh Mi Dat Biet sandwich ( which includes: pork, ham, pate, butter,cucumber,daikon,cilantro and jalapeño) and it was so fresh and clean tasting, on a fresh roll. It's been so long since I've enjoyed a Vietnamese sandwich, that I was blown away. It had a nice kick to finish the sandwich due to those few jalapeños tucked inside. Despite having many other lunch trucks tempting us to spend our dollars, we ended up ordered a second sandwich to go, for breakfast the next day! \n\nThe biggest surprise is that it was only $3.75. What a deal.", "Vina.... This is my open declaration for the love I have for you!! Came here with a friend on a sunday night at tanque verde around 7 for dinner, I ordered the lemongrass chicken salad, as I had tried that last time at the food truck round up and I loved it. My friend ordered the beef sandwich and we both ordered a boba milk tea each.. While we were waiting for our food in our car our order for boba got called up so I ran to the window to get it and sat back in the car, within 2 minutes we had already annihilated our boba drinks and were simultaneously thinking the same thing, \"Lets get another one?\" The boba milk tea is the BOMB dot COM.... holy moly. Its the perfect mix of tea+milk+and sweetness, bobas are nice, chewy and soft. Vina's kicks all the competition's butts with their boba milk tea! In that moment we both agreed we both needed another boba so I go up to the window to order us both another one, the owner was shocked as I handed him our empty cups and sheepishly asked for round two. Sadly, he said he was out and that he was only able to make one more order of boba milk tea for us, but he said it was free of charge.. Wow!!! He gave us whatever he had left and charged us nothing for our drink... He's a real gentlemen people! I handed him a twenty dollar bill told him to keep the change and I took the drink+our food in the car so we could devour everything privately at home. \n\nSandwich+salad was amazingballs.. but I prefer the \"special\" banh mi over the beef. I got that last time as well at the UYME food truck round up on top of my salad and I liked what was inside that sandwich over the beef. \n\nConclusion, if you see VINA in town please stop and support this guy! and do yourself a favour and get that boba!", "VinaBaguette= Vinadelicious. My boyfriend got something from another truck and suffered from food envy the whole time. I let him have half of my amazing beef sandwich, layered with pickled goodness. (He half heartedly ate his other meal and wished he had gotten a vina baguette). \n\nWe also got the bubble tea--no fancy flavors, just plain old tea--AMAZING! The chef brews it fresh every day and the proof is in the sip! Simply delicious. \n\nThe next time I go I'm going for the tofu one. :-)", "I think it appropriate that Vina Baguette be my first ever Yelp review, because it was quite literally one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Everything about it was perfect. I ordered the #1, which is the standard beef sandwich, with onion, cilantro, jalapeno, carrot, cucumber, etc, etc. The fresh vegetables, the crusty yet soft bread, and the deliciously season beef married perfectly. Throw on some extra Siracha and it's gametime. \n\nQuality like this doesn't come around all the time and the service, along with the food, was unbeatable. If I had one request, it would be to offer a foot long version, and I would happily pay $10 for it. I want more!\n\nSeriously, I want more.", "Horrible they forgot what my order was after being there wAiting 15 min, the chicken was awful and there was chunks of butter on sandwich, but nice staff very friendly" ]

[ "Awesome coffee in downtown. This coffee has soul and the vibes of this place is cozy and inviting. The coffee is rich and flavorful and an experience unto itself. You can taste the artisan roasting. For a treat I love the mochas without sugar!", "LOVE Kahwa! My new favorite coffee place! I hope you will keep expanding- we need a location further north. Maybe Dunedin or Palm Harbor?", "I love Kahwa coffee! I'm a frequent visitor to their St. Pete coffee shops and am glad that they have opened one in Tampa! Try an iced latte on a hot day or a hot cafe mocha:) Their pound cakes and croissants are also delicious:) - my fave is the sourcream pound cake and the choc croissant. The great coffee, awesome service view of the world going by and an urban chic vibe are just what Tampa needs!:)", "I don't live in Tampa, but I needed a place to work a few hours... and ideally stay awake. My cousin (who I'm visiting) dropped me off at Kahwa... a big store with a funny name, and it was AWESOME! I was greeted by a friendly barista who made me a delicious iced vanilla latte. Prices are in line with Starbucks, but I'd much rather support this little local place. The walls are tastefully covered in art that's for sale by local artists to boot. I set up my laptop in the corner, and began to work for the next 3 hours. The ice in my drink melted, and they iced me down with some more. They showed me where the bathroom was when i was too oblivious to see the sign that said \"RESTROOM\". Most of all- they left me alone! I've been asked to leave coffee shops near home after camping out for an hour or so... but they couldn't have been nicer about my extended stay. \n\nOnly tip would be for them to also made sandwiches. The counter is HUGE. There's a little back room. They could totally handle some panini's and if they taste anything like their coffee, they'd be doing Tampa a treat! I look forward to coming back here next time i visit!", "I loved this coffee. I am a caffeine addict, i admit it. But i typically settle for the big box name in coffee. However, now that i have good coffee readily available....i can now become the coffee snob i feel i should be! This coffee was some of the best i have had. It's on par with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee that i have only had one other time.", "We were staying in downtown Tampa for the weekend and stopped in twice. Several restaurants and shop owners who serve good coffee have told us they get their coffee from Kahwa, and we can see why. We initially tried to visit the one on Ashley, but it was closed due to filming (not sure what that was about, but we could see the film crew and it looked like they wouldn't be opening any time soon this weekend) so we went to this location. Both are equally convenient. \nThe coffee was the best I've had in a long time (on par with Drica's in Lakeland). It's a small, bright shop and located next to the Duckweed Urban Market - both have patio seating. It was ridiculously hot, so we stayed indoors during both visits. The barristas were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I got my usual Americano, and it was wonderful. The 2nd day I discovered they had almond milk, so I tried a latte. So rich, creamy and flavorful - both run about the same as you would pay at Starbucks but sooo much better,and local. I enjoyed my latte while waiting for someone to arrive, and I noticed a tray of croissants come out. They make all the pastries, and they looked so good, I had to try one. I was not disappointed. Flaky. buttery and delicious! They also offer a wide array of vegan and gluten free choices. We'll be back when we're in need of coffee in the downtown Tampa area.", "I've been to the St Petersburg location but they are nothing alike. When I originally walked in it smelled like a gas fart but well, I could just be at wrong place at the wrong time. Ugh, awkward! Unfortunately, it didn't get much better from there. The selection is minimal and the setting looks like a warehouse. The walls are bare and I wish the they had more of an identity or cozy feeling. The baristas made me feel like i was interrupting their conversation. Seats are standard seating with one couch inside and the outdoor seats has 5 tables.\n\nThere is free wifi and plenty of outlets, which is a plus. The parking is meter based.\n\nMy coffee was good but my gluten free banana bread was just bland. There is a small itty bitty case of baked goods to choose food from. There are other places to eat and score coffee within walking distance so I don't think I'll make it back to the Kahwa at this location.", "Stayed in a hotel downtown for a night and walked around downtown on a beautiful Saturday morning. Great little coffee shop and a nice atmosphere.", "There's plenty of other info on here, so I will be brief with the highlights...\n\nCHEAP! - Under $2 for a great cup of coffee. Tip well!\n\nBEAUTIFUL! - I was really blown away by the use of the space, the circular serving area, bare walls, and ceiling decor.\n\nNICE! - The baristas were genuine and friendly.", "Love this place. Kahwa is some of the best coffee you can find in Tampa. Buddy Brew is another good bet.\n\nService is great. If you come in a handful of times it doesn't take long for the baristi to start remembering your face and order. Always friendly staff. Nice atmosphere, modern stylings with exposed rafters and plumbing. Never terribly crowded, free wi-fi (password protected) and a great location in downtown.\n\nI only gave 4 stars since parking is a pain. I'm cheap and hate paying for parking and there is no place close to park for free (unless it's the weekend and meters are off).\n\n*edit*\n\nChanging to 5 stars. Kahwa can't control the parking, so no sense in faulting them for that. But parking is still a pain." ]

[ "I've been to Nova Mediterranean Grill 5-6 times since it opened and have enjoyed everything so far... The salads are very fresh although they are a bit pricey, and the sauces and pita breads are wonderful... The meats are also very good - I highly recommend the kofta (kinda like juicy little slider burgers filled with herbs and spices) and the Shepherd's salad when you need a good dose of veggies... And of course the pita bread with tzatziki sauce....\n\nI know many of my Villanova colleagues have been repeat customers as well... Hope Nova Mediterranean Grill is here to stay for a while!!!", "Nova Grill is a great addition to the Villanova/Radnor area. The food is fresh, tasty and very good value. We have been there several times since it opened and return at least once a week for the mediterranean inspired salads and spit roasted meats.", "I LOVE THIS PLACE!!\n I have been coming here since it opened, and each time I leave extremely happy and well-fed. The owner, who makes his own sausage, tzatziki and harissa!, will do anything to ensure your satisfaction, and treats every customer like family!\n I love the plates and bowls! They are always piled high with the freshest vegetables, and the sauces, esp. the aioli, are savory. The homemade tzatziki and falafel are the best I've ever eaten. My dining companion had the chicken plate and raved about his meal on the way home! The desserts aren't heavy at all and are well apportioned. And oh,the baklava! It is so so so good! \n Anyone I have sent in to Nova Grill always comments to me how fresh and healthy the food is, and they are so excited to return. The Main Line sorely needed a restaurant like this, and I suspect this hidden gem will not be a secret much longer!!I", "Nova grill is a great new restaurant in the Villanova area. I've only eaten there twice, but had a great experience both times. Great pita bread and hummus. I got the kofta and it was delicious with the aioli, definitely would recommend that.\nService was quick, they make the food right in front of you. The people are very nice and will explain what the foods are if you've never had them before. I would absolutely go back again.", "Middle Eastern food is tough to find in the suburbs and finding good Middle Eastern food was a damn near impossibility...until Nova Grill showed up on the Main Line. \n\nIn addition to being delicious, Nova's food is fresh, affordable and generously portioned. One sandwich is more than enough for a hearty appetite but won't leave you feeling over-stuffed and weighed down. \n\nThe premise is simple -- DIY pita sandwiches and bowls. They have pre-made sandwiches, bowls and salads but why deny your right to customize? \n\nEating at Nova is an easy five-step process:\n\n1. Pick a pita (white, wheat or multi-grain -- I prefer the latter) or a bowl of rice pilaf.\n\n2. Pick a filling -- they have a vast variety ranging from fire-roasted gyros to falafel (garlicky, crunchy and perfect) to salmon to roasted veggies to locanico - a traditional Greek sausage.\n\n3. Pick a topping -- traditional stuff like romaine, feta and tomato-cucumber salad to the more exotic sumac onions and piaz bean salad.\n\n4. Pick a sauce -- everything from tzatziki (a yogurt-cucumber sauce) to harissa (a Tunisian hot chili sauce).\n\n5. Inhale in a matter that would terrify small children and experience pure bliss\n\nMy usual is the falafel on multigrain with romaine, tomato-and-cucumber salad, hummus (amazingly rich), sumac onions, spicy feta and parsley herb sauce (a bright green, garlic-infused creation that I want to swim in). \n\nThey also feature a variety of sides such as lentil soup and homemade pita chips as well as several desserts like baklava, rice pudding and a Turkish pudding known as Asure. \n\nService is excellent - fast and friendly. The first time we visited, the owner gave us roasted potatoes to sample (they were delicious) and every encounter since has been great. If you call your order in, odds are you'll speak with Stella and she's a doll. \n\nIf you work on the Main Line and can't face another day eating a staid turkey sandwich or boring salad with wilting iceberg -- give Nova Grill a call. \n\nBut if you end up thinking about pitas with the kind of irrational intensity reserved for Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, don't blame me.", "Middle Eastern food is my absolute favorite. I was so thrilled when Nova Grill opened up because there aren't many places to get falafel and hummus in this area, but I must say that for the price, you are better off traveling a few miles down the road to Hummus. The husband and wife that run Nova Grill are super sweet, but for a place right next to a college, they've got to be a bit more reasonable. I ordered a regular salad with a few falafel balls on top and it was over $10. Not that $10 is crazy expensive, but if you can get a $5 salad from Campco next door, this place won't survive. The falafel is also not the best- funky after taste. However, if you are looking for a clean place to order a pita wrap, it's great. If the prices were just a few bucks cheaper, I'd stop in for lunch at least once a week.", "pick from the menu, or create your own fantastic greek food from a wide selection of delicious ingredients with incredible flavor", "I was excited when I found out that Nova Grill serves Mediterranean food. I rode by this place a zillion times and figured they served cheap college food. It is adjacent to Villanova University's main campus. Well, half of my assessment was correct...it is relatively cheap. \n\nThey offer sandwiches, salads, plates, and soups. I love Soulvaki! I could not pass up the opportunity build my own sandwich. I decided to go with the fire roasted chicken, on white pita. They offer a vast variety of fresh toppings. I went with cucumber and tomato salad, Kalamata olives, roasted peppers, harissa, and tzatzaki sauce. My sandwich was delicious! They pack a good amount of meat on the sandwich...which is a plus. \n\nThe only negative was the fact the person who made my sandwich was not wearing gloves. That is one of my pet peeves. But that did not discourage me from chowing down.", "I finally stopped in today to grab a platter. It's basically Chipotle but for Middle Eastern food, which I love. The only detraction is that they don't have lamb but the kofta was a good substitute; the ground beef was well-seasoned and finely minced so that you didn't get a large, unseasoned chunk every other bite (it's not pleasant, trust me!). The rice pilaf was pretty good but justa little dry, and the multi-grain pita decent but not amazing (still like Hummus's pita the best). You get to pick your sauce and toppings, which great because you get to try a lot of different combinations. I confess that I felt like being rather boring so I stuck with the tahini sauce, hummus, romaine, and sumac onions, with piaz bean salad on the side. The sumac onions were delicous and added a new level to the taste of the dish. You can also get just a pita sandwich, salad, or bowl, much akin to the protool at Chipotle. I'll be back for sure to try the locanico, which is the Greek sausage, and salmon, both of which you can't really get as a regular dish on the menus at other Middle Eastern places in the vicinity. Service was amazing and extremely helpful, and they let me sample the various salads and slaw. Plus, a sandwich is only around $7 and platters around $8. For the variety and amount of food you get, that's just amazing, especially on the Main Line.", "Nova Grill is amazing. The meats are great and the topping are all phenomenal. You can tell they are all homemade and fresh. I cant even really make a recommendation because everything is so good so load up. I generally go fire roasted chicken or steak and then a large variety of toppings and sauce. \n\nBoth for lunch or dinner I am so completely satisfied. The prices are very fair for the quality of food you get. When you finish you are full but never get the burrito style hangover we are all so familiar with. \n\nCan recommend enough. Go there.\n\nOnly two minor quibbles are parking is tough and lack of of lamb option." ]

I love supporting local businesses and I think that they should get a sign on the main road. After a day out of shopping with my daughter, we were at a light when I happened to glance over and noticed a new sign on the building. Glad we stopped, but they need more attention from those driving by with a sign on he main road. Two thumbs up!!!", "Very clean and new. The tea was very good.

They have a legit espresso machine. You won't settle for the powder mixes after you try what true milk tea and thai tea should taste like. Second, the specialty teas in the menu are well mixed and thought out. You'll appreciate the depth of flavor and fruity notes. Ask for the Thai Green Tea if you want some complex flavors in your drink. Lastly, don't forget to order some food. I really liked the meatballs and the skewers.

The design, art, and appeal of the restaurant and seating is great. \n\nUnfortunately, this location falls short with the service, food flavors, and general management. \n\nFood okay. Salsa watery and lacked flavor. For me, it's the restaurants first chance to impress and set the stage for the exciting adventure of flavors that are about to come. Portion size was good.

They had a delicious passion fruit margarita for 3 dollars. The food took a long time and it was below average. I got the enchiladas and they didn't have any taste. The chimichanga was also bland and Tijuana Flats has one with more flavor for half the price. This is a good spot to go for happy hour. Other than that we were disappointed especially in a new restaurant.", "The food is great. No issues or complaints there.\n\nThe service? Horrible. The guy at the hostess stand is a nightmare, he had anywhere between 4-7 open tables and refused to seat us or anyone because \"other people need to get their food\". He also said \"we need more servers in order to sit people\". \n\nThe Bar is an absolute-udder wreck, there is no system or organized method to that complete madness. They have about 4 taps, and a couple dozen open bottles of wine and liquor bottles that have no pour spouts. We watched them pour uneven servings of alcoholic beverages. Their margaritas come from a slushee machine that isn't frozen. Limes, lemons and garnish everyone scattered throughout the back bar. The best part of this, no credit card machine in the bar area. The \"bartender\" then leaves the bar and walks around the restaurant to ring up every single order at the server computer. \n\nThe service? Eh. We had to ask for a server to come greet us after waiting about five or so minutes. Granted, they were coming to the end of the busy dinner rush, but the goal is under a minute anywhere. \n\nCalling this \"organized chaos\" would be an understatement.", "This placed opened a few weeks ago and we finally made it in for dinner last night. I expected growing pains of a new restaurant, but this place needs some serious help. The staff seemed to be trying and staying positive, but it was kind of a disaster\n\nThe front of the house, while friendly, was super disorganized and not clear. The bar itself was a mess. Food/drink dishes not cleared for 1+ hours, the bartenders took 20-30 minutes to turn around to take drink orders since they were so busy fulfilling the table orders, there was no POS behind the bar so bartender had to keep running into the kitchen to complete sales, and they were out of pretty much everything on the menu (drink wise).\n\nWith service being a hot mess, we didn't expect much of dinner, but the food was actually really good. I'm really hoping their management can clean things up because we'd like to go back in a month or so to see if they've gotten things together.", "My family and I went to Grand Hacienda on 4th street for an early dinner, around 5pm Friday night, May 25th. We stood and waited for the hostess, an older hispanic woman, as she rushed around talking to other servers and writing something on a little notepad. We stood there waiting for a while, watching her, while some others entered behind us and got frustrated with the wait, complaining that they had reservations and shouldn't have to wait at all. Once we sat, we were then moved to a different table. Overall, none of this was a big deal. \n\nOur server, a young hispanic man, comes and takes our drink order, and I'm informed that they have no juice options at all. Not even from the bar. So my kids can have either water or sprite. Fine, they get a sprite. \nChips and salsa comes quickly. Chips are hot, but the salsa's flavor is not that great. It kind of tastes like ketchup. I see in the menu that there is no kid's food section at all.\n\n Server comes and I ask if they have a kids menu and he says no. No kid's menu. He lists off some things that they make for kids, but he speaks quietly and quickly and I don't understand half of what he lists. I say fine, a cheese quesadilla for the kids, plus some beans and rice. I then order the plantain appetizer and some guacamole. He brings the guac, which doesn't look very fresh (and certainly wasn't the \"table-side preparation\" that the menu claimed it would be,) and it's completely flavorless. No seasoning, no lime juice in it. Fine, whatever. \n\nSo then we order our entrees. My husband orders the veggie fajitas, and asks if he can get a small side of their mole sauce. This mole sauce is supposed to be available as an option to go on the enchiladas, so he asks if he can just get a side of it in a little cup. The server gives him a quizzical look, but nods his head. I ask for the carne asada, and I point out that menu says it comes with rice, and either beans or a potato enchilada. I ask if I can have both beans and the enchilada. He seems completely confused by my request. I show him the menu explanation and he nods and writes stuff down. I also ask if I could have verde sauce on the enchilada instead of the red sauce. He nods, and walks away. I didn't consider this a complicated request, but he seemed completely thrown by it. \n\nEventually our food is delivered (and while we're waiting I hear a white guy -- I assume the manager -- explaining to the table next to us that everything is cooked to order, so expect about a 30 minute prep for the food. The customer asks if the appetizers will take thirty minutes too. He says no, and goes into this thing how he was just explaining that the food isn't pre-prepared, it's all cooked when it's ordered, so he just wants them to expect a 30 min wait for their entrees. But... this is a nice looking, sit down restaurant. Why on earth would anyone assume anything differently about how they prepare the food? It SHOULD all be cooked to order. It's not a Chiptole. That all seemed sort of weird and unnecessary. )\n\nAnyway. Instead of the potato enchilada with verde sauce, I get a chicken enchilada with red sauce. I explain that's not what I ordered -- that the menu said it would be the potato enchilada. Server is completely confused. He says he will go get me a potato enchilada and leaves. I remind him about the verde sauce instead of the red sauce please, and also that we still haven't received our fried plantain appetizer. He looks confused, walks away. \nHe comes back with a potato enchilada with red sauce, and a basket of plantain chips out of, I assume, a bag. They're like potato chips. I'm confused. The menu says the plantain appetizer is fried plantains with sour cream and a chipotle sauce. I ask, \"this is your fried plantain appetizer?\" He says, \"what? I don't know.\" I tell him it's on your menu. He gives me a blank stare. He says the kitchen's really backed up and shrugs. I guess that's supposed to explain why I can't order the plantain appetizer. I hand him back the basket of plantain chips because we don't want them, and I decide it's not even worth raising the issue of the red sauce on my enchilada after I asked repeatedly for verde sauce. So we never get our plantain appetizer. Also, the mole sauce that my husband asked for is just red enchilada sauce. \nOverall, food was good, but the service was kind of terrible. The manager needs to train their staff on their menu ASAP. I can't fathom how they could get through dinner rushes when servers basically ignore an order that their customers have made (our plantains) because they don't understand what's on their own menu. He could have picked on up and actually read the menu right there, but he didn't. Or maybe that's where the language barrier was -- maybe he couldn't read English? I don't know. If that's the case they should definitely have menus printed for them in Spanish. Not doing that is disservice to them as much as it is to the customers.", "Just finished dinner at the new Grand Hacienda. Food was great, service was excellent and pricing was exceptional. Great atmosphere too. So nice to go to a Mexican restaurant where they include the chips and salsa and serve them in huge bowls. Will be back soon.", "This place is awful. Actually the food might be good but will never know. Wife and I decide to go out for a nice Saturday dinner and check out the new restaurant nearby. This is our story... Was told a 10 minute wait and we could sit at the bar. Host came over and said there was a table outside (it was raining) or we can wait and he'll come get us when another seat opens up. That never happened. That was our first flag. We end up ordering at the bar or at least thought we did. Had chips, salsa and a round of drinks with no problem. Bartender then apologized for the wait on our order but it had only been like 5 minutes. That was our second flag. But we assumed he meant the kitchen was backed up and it might be a while. No problem. Ask for another beer and that never comes. After watching him (Jack) specifically make several other people drinks, drinks for servers, and checking with guest sitting at the bar, I asked if he forgot about me to which he responded \"no, what did you have again?\". At this time my wife ordered a spicy margarita. 15 minutes later I then ask if he forgot about her margarita, which he goes on to blame their margarita guru \"he didn't make that yet?\". Meanwhile we're sitting right there the whole time and he never even told the guru. That was our third flag. Never got the margarita. Jack continues to apologize about the kitchen being backed up and the company not having a computer system because they're still new. All of our concerns at this point had all been human error (mostly his) and had zero to do with the kitchen our lack of computer system. After being there for at least an hour and a half Jack then walks all the way around the bar, through a jam packed restaurant, put his hand on my shoulder and ask \"what did you guys order\". Advised Jack that we'll just take the check please and he boldly responded \"but he's making your margarita now\". Advised him where he could put said margarita and again asked for my check. Hands me a hand written check (no computers, I get it) with a completely Jack'ed up total. The check read 3 corona but was charged for 5. Forth flag, not that more were needed. Bring this to Jack's attention and he let's me know that he didn't ring up one of my beers which sounds great but I'm looking at it and he's still charging me for 5. Like some kids cheating in homeroom I do the match in front of him, give him the answer/total just so he would finally understand, I could pay my tab, tip 10% because I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for my change, and we leave", "We have already been here twice. I love the warm chips and fresh salsa they bring out. The food is amazing and fresh! The staff is very attentive even though they are busy! It looks like they are also dog friendly in the outside seating", "I was super excited to try this place as the decor is superb. I have never been to the other location but I had heard good things. The drinks were on point in taste as I tried 2 signature cocktails. You can tell this place is still working out the kinks for sure. The food came out Luke warm which was a bit disappointing as I wanted a hot lunch. 4 minutes into eating the food was cold due to it not coming out warm. The service was lack luster. The man greeting people, who I came to find out was the owner, kept checking on tables and seeing how people were doing, which is great, but never asked how I was doing until he saw me watching him. I will go back but not for awhile until they figure it out. I hope they do it's a beautiful place.", "I had dinner with my Mom at Grand Hacienda on 4th St. Only thing I wished for was better parking. From the time we arrived until we left everything was great. Friendly greeting, fresh made chips, hearty salsa and great waiter. The medium sized house margarita is huge. Many queso choices, we simply did melted cheese no meat. I'd be content with just that. We each got an enchilada platter ... you won't leave hungry. I'm excited to make this a new hang out.

I'd honestly say it's worth a trip outside of the city just to grab some of this greasy goodness.\n\nOh... make sure you get a milkshake too. Frikkin' amazing.", "Started coming here with the ol' grandma back when I was just a little fat kid, now that I'm a slightly trimmer adult I still love it.\n\nThe burgers are greasy as all get-out and the buns are warmed on the grill. Condiments are applied by the spoonful. The burgers are a little small and compared to fast food places a little pricey but definitely worth it. Like the others have said you're going to want a shake to go with them. \n\nIt's a small place so it's not where I'd take a bunch of friends but you can always do takeout. Overall I'd reckon the place comfortably fits 15-20 people.\n\nThe most important thing to keep in mind is that Charlie's is closed on Tuesdays so plan accordingly otherwise you'll pull up to a dimmed building, an empty parking lot, and a heaping pile of disappointment.", "Serving fatty awesome-ness, one burger at a time.\n\nThe other day I was craving a burger for lunch so I stopped by Charlie's for a fix!\n\nCharlie's is a little place but this doesn't stop the masses from swinging by in droves for a little fatty bit of heaven.\n\nThere is not much to say about ambience and decor in this place. There are a couple stools up at the counter around the kitchen area and then a few more by the windows. This isn't a place for large groups at all. There isn't music, but the sound of sizzling burgers on the grill and the occasional slurping of milkshakes, is quite entertaining.\n\nI had two hamburgers. Yeah I was sort of a pig that day. But hey, if I'm going to die of a fat attack, might as well go down with a full stomach. Anyway these burgers aren't massive, just the right size. So eating 2 or even 3 won't kill anybody. They aren't the best I have tasted, but I don't know, you just can't stop after one bite, and as soon as you know it, you are done.\n\nThe shakes are awesome. The black and white is by far my fav. They make your shake right away when you order. So you might find yourself polishing off your shake before you even get your food. It's that good.\n\nSo if you dont mind the blah-ness of this hole in the wall, I assure you the burgers will keep you coming back!", "FAB greasy burgers and shakes.\n\nI still remember the first time I went here with my dad. What memories!! It's a little building off the road that looks like nothing special but oh so special it is. The burgers are slighly on the smaller side so order a few and don't forget a black and white milkshake.", "I'm writing this review in retrospect, I don't eat meat now but, Charlie's was still a bangin' burger. They do make grilled cheese for your veggie friends who want to turn a blind eye to the fact that it's made on the same grill as the burgers.\nMy Dad used to buy Charlie's all the time when I was growing up. It was the most honest burger around, seriously, no crap. They don't offer extras, it's more like meat, cheese, and bun. They put your take out order in the empty bun bags (reusing before it was hip). I don't remember having shakes from here but I'm assuming they would be pretty delicious, because it was simple. The atmosphere of Charlie's was simple, it wasn't ever a cluttered hang out. \nThey used to close for a couple months out of the year, the owner would go to Florida, I'm not sure what months it was and even if they close anymore.", "Charlies has always been an esstential to my fast food favorites. Getting two greasy burgers packed with delcious cheese and ketchup and a soda will always be a past time which I'll pass down to my kids, whenever I have kids. Don't get cravings on Tuesdays though, they're closed.", "Pretty stinkin tasty!! Went here tonite after a recommend from Marcello(thanks man!). I got the Charlie special, and a black and white. Only down side like fries, but the burgers are bangin, so who cares? These are so yummy! Get a couple, grab a BW, and get the fries somewhere else and go party in the park! Super quick and to the point! Love it and close to my place so thats a plus, when ya wanna get away from hoagies and pizza...;) Only stools to sit on but its all good. Decent prices and a great reward for after a good workout!!!", "So, I lived in Prospect Park for 18 years of my life. Charlies was always on the potential lunch/dinner menu. Small but delicious burgers, great shakes, and huge lines. \n\nIt's been around for far longer than I've been alive. My dad and his brother used to go there as kids. It's a Delco institution. If you're in the area, head behind the Sovereign Bank and look for the little shack known as Charlies. It's great.", "A hometown favorite! The burgers are good, but the milkshakes are phenomenal. I don't know what they put in them, but the taste is like no other. I'm so glad this place is not a franchise or chain...having just a single location makes it all the better! There were rumors a few years ago that this place might close or move. I really hope that doesn't happen, at least not for a long long time. This place is a much better choice than Zak's or 5 Guys. About a block away, Nifty Fifty's milkshakes are good too, yet I'm surprised they don't deep-fry them, like they do everything else in that place. I swear those people would deep-fry the napkins if they could find someone hungry enough to sell em' to!", "\"Much better than 5 Guys?\" Absolutely. Have people that rant and rave about Five Guys really never have a burger beyond McDs or BK before? The Five Guys phenom is more about a very good marketing machine than a good burger. Ok, enough of that rant.\n\nCharlies is the perfect greasy, cheesy, onion-influenced soft bun burger out there. If you are a Philadelphian or one by proxy, Charlies is a \"MUST GO\".

I went thinking that I was going to end up at 3 or 4 stars. In the past, the BBQ has been good not the best I've had but decent. In fact, we've gotten a number of the 1 lb take outs of the brisket and pulled pork. Yesterday, I got the ribs with a dry rub. That to me means the ribs are still tender and juicy but have a more dry coating on the outer side. These ribs were dry and overcooked. I had a 2nd helping and they were the same. Someone had forgotten about my corn on the cob side so it didn't come out with my ribs. I asked and it came out with the second helping. I was a little disappointed and felt I couldn't give them a 3 rating on this one time. Maybe it was just the ribs. My son liked his pulled pork sandwich.

Anyways, my last visit was on a Sunday, early afternoon, probably around noon. I had ordered the pulled chicken sandwich, fries and a sweet tea. About 5 minutes after ordering the waitress comes back and says the pulled chicken wasn't ready yet. I told her I could wait because my boyfriend was getting all you could eat pulled pork and I knew we would be there a while. She then comes back telling me in won't be ready until 2:30. Yep, it would take two and a half hours to get food ready, which in my opinion should be ready when the restaurant opens. She asked me if I wanted pulled pork, which I really didn't but hesitantly took anyways. Our waitress never apologized to us at all for the chicken not being ready.

Sonny's has now expanded to include operations in 9 states around the southeastern US.\n\nThis particular Sonny's is on the northern end of Dale Mabry Highway, almost into the Northdale area. I believe that there are still seven Sonny's locations around Tampa, even though a few locations have already closed.\n\nThe atmosphere is very \"Good Ol' Boy\" relaxed, and that's real popular with their regular customers. This is the kind of place where the waitresses know their customers by name, and they're quick to keep the drinks refilled as they catch up on news about each other's families.\n\nThe menu includes platters and sandwiches featuring barbeque pork, beef, chicken, turkey, shrimp, catfish, and ribs. There are a number of different combo specials and nightly all-you-can-eat options which are very popular. You can also carryout everything on the menu, or just order your favorite barbeque by the pound. Yes, these folks do a huge carryout and catering business as well.\n\nI generally order one of the platter specials, and combine that with a trip to the salad bar for an extra couple of bucks. The waitress very proactively offered to hold my sliced beef brisket order for about 10 minutes so that I'd have time to enjoy my salad. I thought that was a nice customer service touch!\n\nThe salad bar had a great combination of fresh greens and salad toppings along with three-bean salad, potato and macaroni salads, fruit, cottage cheese, a daily soup special, and so on.\n\nThe sliced beef brisket came with two sides (I chose mac & cheese and corn on the cob), but they also have baked beans, Cole slaw, French fries, and more. Oh, and you have a choice of corn bread or Texas toast with your meal. The food came out fast and it was mighty tasty, and my waitress checked in frequently to refill drinks and see if I needed anything. She even offered to get me a drink to-go as I was leaving -- again, really nice customer service!\n\nSonny's certainly does the trick for a quick, casual, and affordable barbeque dinner.", "The food was bland and the restaurant was not professional. I ordered the Brisket which was dry and did not have flavor. The mac and cheese did not taste like anything, Kraft mac and cheese is better then theirs. The garlic bread tasted like frozen bread only thing decent was the French fries. The waitress was nice but then when we went to pay they said their credit card machines were down and asked if we had cash which we didn't but we could pay with check and they said no. They wanted us to put our credit card info with our phone number and sign a piece of paper so they can process when they are back up. Yea right! That's not safe at all so that meant I had to leave my husband and go find an ATM to get cash and drive back. The manager did not even comp anything on the bill. NEVER AGAIN!", "They always have fast and amazing service. The staff is super friendly and I LOVE BBQ! They even have take out which is great to take home to the family.

When I went with some local friends who insisted that this was the burger in town, I had severe doubts when I saw some wayward fries on the floor, basic b-flat plastic tables and benches, and lots of loud kids.\n\nHowever.\n\nBig Juds earns five stars if only for the fact that they serve the best burgers not only in Boise, but I'm fairly confident in the state. The menu is really varied, with some incredibly delicious and creative burger options. I had the fajita burger, and have yet to find one to beat it. The menu also includes a large variety of chicken sandwices, homemade ice cream, sides, and a couple salads-sorry vegetarians, this is probably not the place for you! \n\nCOME HUNGRY, and if you are feeling particularly ambitious/have been stranded on a desert island for six years and need sustanance pronto, attempt to finish the 1 lb. Big Jud Special or the fifteen scoop/five topping Hungry Heifer Ice Cream Sundae. A local hot spot, I can't recommend this place enough.", "We go here for the ice cream/malts/shakes/sundaes more then for the food, which is really saying something because the food is above average. It's usually pretty busy, which speaks to how good it is, but you can get the dessert treats to go as well. Great in the summer. The dive-burger restaurant, only as Boise can do it.", "I ordered the Big Judd burger to-go. It was the biggest burger I have ever seen or tasted. It is about the size of a frizbee 7-8 inches in diameter!

I generally cannot focus for a good hour due to the burger-induced food coma. No-frills ambiance, but a lovely picture wall of those who have conquered the famous 1 pound Big Jud in one sitting.

A mountain of tater tots is $3 and I dare you to finish them, it can't be done, even with the delicious fry sauce that only Idaho restaurants know how to master.", "Best burger joint in Boise. The burgers are large and tasty, and about on par with Bad Boy's burgers. The bleu bacon, ortega and fajita burgers are all interesting concoctions that offer something different than the usual burger options. They tend to be a tad more expensive than Bad Boy, but where Big Jud's has the advantage is with their hand-cut fries. If you're ordering tater tots here, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! The place rivals Hugo's and Highlands Hollow (and maybe various offerings at the Boise Fry Co. now) as having the best fries in the city. The first time I came here, the fries were given to me in long thick chunks, and there was a ton of them. I haven't gotten them as long and thick since, but they're still fairly thick. But much like In-N-Out's fries, eat them as quickly as possible before they get cold (hint: order them well done so they're crispy and to avoid any limpness issues). The shakes and malts are pretty good too. Not insanely great but decent.", "Feeling guilty after watching diners and drive ins re-run on a recent trip to the bay area cause there was Big Juds and even though I moved from CA 13 yrs ago I have never been in.\nI have driven by it so many times or stopped to get gas close by I guess I never went in as it doesn't look that appealing inside or out.\nThere were mostly BSU faculty there and a few other people all guys yep every single one so they love it! \nI walked in and was told sit anywhere the waitress was friendly and quick service.

Sorely dissapointed so took off one star in this review. \nMy fries were very plentiful so I would have barely eaten half of them if they had been good anyway. They were a little burned on the ends and just didn't taste good, like the oil needed to be changed is the best way to describe it.\nI asked for malt vinegar and was told they don't offer it anymore but get asked for it often.I would have gladly paid for some so if they are cutting back they may want to consider that.\nNo fry sauce was offered or mentioned but after reading reviews I know they do have that.\nWill I go back? Yes for sure so I can give the fries one more shot as but I am taking my vinegar with me when I do.\nOne of the better burgers I've had in Boise but dinning area is a total dive they seem to be busy so hope they do some updating to the decor", "After watching Man Vs Food, I had to try this place.\n\nI ordered the bacon, mushroom, grilled onion burger with a side of tator tots..........Just fucking awesome....!!!\n\nThe burger was so flavorful.....the mix of onions, mushrooms, bacon and hamburger was soooooo good.\n\nThe tots came with a special sauce (thousand island dressing).....\nloved it.\n\nGreat place.....and supercheap!!", "After traveling to Boise almost every month for a year, I finally got a chance to visit Big Juds.

I'm a bit surprised this place only has 7 reviews (now 8 with mine) since it's such a great place to grab a delicious burger. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something good, cheap, and fast in Boise.", "What can I say, this is my absolute favorite place for a burger. I am partial to the mushroom bacon burger, but the blue cheese and bacon is fantastic. The fries are thick and actually resemble potatoes, skins and all. No extra charge for their fry sauce and the classic rock soundtrack is perfect for clogging your arteries. You can share a large fry with 3 grown men or a family of 4. \n\nIf you haven't tried Juds, shame on you. Go support one of the few mom and pop joints we have left.", "HOW DOES BIG JUDS ONLY HAVE 9 REVIEWS?? Clearly, everyone's trying to not spread the word (though it was on Man vs. Food, so I think the secret's already out). The burgers here are phenomenal, whether you try to tackle a multi-pound burger or if you stick with a normal-sized one. The mushroom bacon burger is my absolute favorite, while my dad swears by the bleu bacon burger. But whatever you get, it will be delicious (the hickory burger is like a ridiculously good rodeo burger from BK). The only complaint I've heard about Big Juds is that their fries are very thick cut, but slather some fry sauce on and you'll forget about any preference for thinner fries. Their ice cream is from a local company (I believe) that some other places around Idaho have, but it's very good as well, if you have room.\n\nAnd as a plus, you might get some entertainment as you dine watching someone attempt to tackle a two-pound burger and a pound of fries." ]

[ "It's worth every minute of the 20+ minute wait for food here, but don't let that stop you!!! I've eaten a lot of BBQ in my life and Roper's is PERFECT!!! It was so good I visited twice in two days, having different items each time. First, the #7 half-rack of ribs was perfectly sauced, incredibly tender and the perfect pink all the way through and shows the amazing smoke technique they use. The potato salad isn't bad, too. The next day I had the #25 pulled pork sandwich. Rather than slather it in sauce and make the concept of a BBQ sandwich unusable (some places act like it's a Sloppy Joe), there's minimal sauce. And I mean minimal; the meat's the star. For flavor, they rely on a wonderful blend of savory spices. There's enough moisture to make the meat not sloppy, very tender and they don't skimp on the amount. Another bonus is they actually PULL the pork so the strands varied in length and the meat kept the moisture and tenderness needed for a sauceless sandwich. Check out ropersribs (dot com) for menu, etc. but I'd seriously call ahead and pick up your order rather than wait around/park in this area. The neighborhood isn't \"desirable\" but not deadly or anything. There's a semi-paved lot around the corner half a block away where everyone parks and it's clearly lighted from the road. No matter what, the food is worth the trip and the guy at the counter was incredibly pleasant and helpful.", "The good news is Roper's sauce is amazing.\n\nThe shop itself is a quaint and tiny neighborhood storefront, with a couple tables and chairs where customers wait for orders. It smells divine, like their sauce has been baked into the walls. It slowly wafts over everyone and made me smile in anticipation of my own taste of yummy goodness. It's truly memorable -- sticky and sweet with a wonderful blend of spiciness that just envelops the tastebuds in smoky goodness.\n\nThe wait was a bit long, but we were prepared to sit for a while when we saw the stream of regulars dropping by for their bbq fix. Unfortunately, all the regulars and the great sauce couldn't make up for subpar meat. Maybe we just chose the wrong time, but both my husband's St. Louis ribs and my baby backs were tough and stuck to the bones so much that I suspect both were undercooked.\n\nFrankly, my husband & I make better ribs at home. Kind of a bummer. I liked it okay, but not enough to return for a second try. True St. Louis style ribs will have to wait for my next trip to this Gateway City.", "best ribs i've ever had! hidden gem in stl; a very small dining room, but very tasty food. tons of pictures of steve harvey; must be good.", "Ropers Ribs has to be the most over looked bbq place in St. Louis. Ribs both spare and baby back are tender and moist with a peppery dry rub. The pulled pork is some of the best i've had. The brisket is sliced ultra thin which is stacked high between two peices of white bread. The tripe (first time i've ever had it) was great once you get past what it is. The snoots are great, crispy little peices of heaven. The only problem is that the wait is a long time, so just call ahead and they have your order ready for you. If you want some good bbq make the trip to the area it's worth it.", "I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in to check this place out. I was expecting a restaurant but it's really a carryout place, although there are a couple tables. It was Saturday around 1:30pm and there were a bunch of people sitting there waiting. Framed pictures adorn one of the walls, many of which featured Steve Harvey, who bestowed Ropers with the 2009 Hoodie award for best ribs.\n\nWent for the 1/2 slab of STL style ribs ($12) and a brisket sandwich ($7). After waiting over 30 minutes, the food came out. The ribs were pretty incredible. Very meaty and delicious with a sweet sauce glaze. Really really good. They came with a small side of cole slaw that was creamy with a great bite.\n\nThe brisket sandwich was disappointing. It was too big and messy to be eaten as a sandwich, so we had to fork and knife it. The meat was not tender at all and hard to cut and tough to chew. A lot of it was so fatty that it was inedible. This thing pretty much sucked all around.\n\nLessons learned\n1) Call in your order 30 mins in advance. Or bring a book to read while you wait.\n2) Stick with the ribs and avoid the brisket.", "Mrs. Roper was super nice and gave us a great discount for coming all the way from Portland, OR. The rest of the staff was friendly too. There was a little bit of wait but you don't want to rush a good thing. I got the sweet baby back ribs, the St. Louis style ribs, bbq chicken sandwich with baked beans, slaw and it came with a side of whitebread. The rib meat fell of the bones and was super moist. The chicken sandwich was super tasty too. My favorite was the St. Louis style ribs. Steve Harvey's pictures are all over the place he must be a regular? Anyhow I'd recommend this place it was great. Probably good for a nice picnic if you're in the St. Louis area.", "We finally got around to trying Roper's Ribs on our latest trip to St. Louis. We were going to go last year, but, when we got in the van, we discovered that someone had broken in and taken the ignition cylinder right out...it was on the floor of the van, and we weren't going anywhere! Roper's is famous and highly regarded in this part of the country, and we can see why. This is certainly one of the top 20 places we've been for BBQ. We tried both the St Louis style and baby back ribs and found them both to be perfectly smoked, tender and delicious. They weren't quite as succulent through and through as some in our top 5 or so but they weren't dry either. They come out sauced but the sauce doesn't overwhelm the flavors of these meaty porksickles. It's not very sweet, slightly tangy and subtly spiced. You can taste the rub through the sauce and can taste the pork and smoke through both clearly. We couldn't stop eating them. They also serve chicken, turkey leg, pulled pork, rib tips, snout, fried shrimp and burgers. The sides are potato salad, baked beans, slaw and fries. We had the baked beans and the slaw. The beans were pretty sweet but really nicely seasoned and baked and we both really liked them. The slaw was great. It tastes like it might have some pineapple juice and was really perfect with the ribs. We will definitely be back to try something else. The restaurant is very smokey, the seating is very limited and the wait for perfection is long. It's worth all this. The locals call ahead and get their barbecue to go.", "Decided to head up north and see what all the fuss was about for Roper's Ribs. My only real negative would be the area where Ropers is located. Parking is very limited and had me walking a block in seemingly rough part of town; the gas station down the road is completely glassed off so you can't get anything yourself.\n\nI must say it was worth the walk and the wait. I had the opportunity to speak with the owner for a couple minutes as he showed me a couple of their videos, which was interesting. The brisket and sides I had were definitely some of the best I have had on this side of the state. I still lean towards KC but if your here in St Louis, I think Ropers should be in your top 3 BBQ destinations.", "This is based solely on taste. I have not been to the actual restaurant...I tried their food at the \"Taste of St. Louis\". I will be going to their restaurant now. Not sure where I have been hiding, but I had never heard of them and I probably live within 15 minutes of them. \nI had the Pulled Pork and OMG...need I say more?? I was deeelicious!!! Makes me wonder why anyone would go to a BBQ \"chain\". The pork had the BEST flavor and soooo tender. I didn't try the ribs...(didn't want to make a \"pig\" of myself)...but they looked Yummy too!! I will soon try all their items! *LOL*", "I was recently in St. Louis on a Sunday and had plans to go to Iron Barley, which was featured on Man vs. Food. When I showed up at the door, I sadly discovered that they were closed on Sundays. Not having a backup plan, I pulled out the smart phone and Googled, \"best bbq in St. Louis\". Roper's Ribs appeared at the top of the list, so off I went. \n\nI was a little surprised at how small/divey the place was, but happy because this type of place is right up my alley. The restaurant has a small dining area with only a handful of tables, and had a wall full of Steve Harvey photo's and other photo's from various local events that Roper's has participated in. I thought this was great as it gave the place a cool communal vibe. \n\nBeing in St. Louis, I decided that it would be most appropriate to order a half slab of St. Louis style ribs. The service was friendly, quick, and the prices were very fair. \n\nThe ribs were covered in an amazing sauce that had a little bit of kick to it. The meat also tasted great, was very tender, and fell off of the bone with little effort. \n\nAbout half way through my meal, a nice guy named John came out to the dining area to check on how I liked the meal. We chatted for a minute and I thought this was a nice touch. \n\nGreat food, good prices, along with fast and friendly service gives Roper's Ribs a perfect five star rating." ]

Bartender was super friendly and made great recommendations for snacks. \nWe had the garlic fries (LOVE!), kale chips, and deviled eggs (OMG!). After finishing our drinks and snacks, we couldn't resist the temptation of a boozy popsicle - freshly-muddled mint in a delicious mojito ice pop made in-house. Awesome!", "Chef MacKenzie doing an awesome job revamping this fun tasteful and tasty menu.\nFun place, fun food, happy chef.....gayborhood is alive an well !", "I met Mackenzie Hilton in person while i was dining for a friend's birthday, and she is lovely! She is doing an incredible job at revamping the menu and I am obsessed with her take on grilled cheese and tomato soup. It is such a comfort food but it is so well made there, it is honestly the best grilled cheese I ever tasted in my life. I tried their deviled eggs and their fries which were fantastic and whatever she is putting in that cheese sauce, it is working because it is addicting. Love that there are three floors so the second floor is a bar and piano bar, and the top floor is a club. Absolutely fabulous.", "This is my second time eating at this venue. And after my first visit, I invited 13 friend to join me for dinner and conversations. The food is amazing, the service is direct and informative.

The food and drinks, even their $5 house wine, were delicious.\n\nI had their tuna tartar, which was excellent.

We had a group of eight, and the acoustics allowed us to be able to hear everyone without shouting.", "I loved everything about this place, and the owner herself is amazing.\n\nComing here was very random. Me and my girlfriend were just out cruising the town looking for something to eat. The 1st place we ran into just closed, but nevertheless the bartender guided us to \"The Tavern on Camac\".

Where this place is located is a quiet street. Also, its a downstairs restaurant, where you walk down a flight of stairs. It's small cozy place with a bar area to sit. \n\nWe were seated promptly. They have sandwiches offered in half portions (no sides) or a full portion with sides. They also served lots of small plates and appetizers.\n\nMy friend and I were hungry but didn't want to eat a ton so we ordered the grilled chicken breast sandwich with mushrooms, onions, crispy brussel sprouts (which were amazing) and truffle aioli. It also came with fontal cheese. They were able to put the cheese just on my friend's half since it upsets my stomach. We had the choice of a side - fries, sauteed kale, kale chips, garlic fries, grilled asparagus. We ordered the kale chips as a side. In addition, we ordered the arugula and pickled beets salad which came with goat cheese and roasted parsnip, red onions and hazelnuts and white balsamic and olive oil. \n\nEverything was delicious, decently portioned and fresh. My only issues were that we ordered kale chips as a side and got fries instead. Fries were good so we didn't even bother to correct them. Also, there was too much oil in our salad, made the bottom pieces inedible. Overall everything was amazing.", "This is one of my favorite places to eat in Philadelphia. Allow me to tell you why:\n\n-The Monkfish Po'Boy is my favorite sandwich in Philadelphia. Perfectly fried and served with a knockout remoulade sauce, it's the only thing I can eat every day and not get sick of. It's perfect.\n\n-It's getting almost impossible to find a restaurant in Center City where you can hear yourself talk on a Saturday night, and Tavern manages to maintain a dignified, quiet atmosphere. Maybe it's because its basement-level location makes it a 'secret'. Either way, I've never had to wait for a table.\n\n-The prices are actually affordable. Chef McKenzie Hilton has won \"Chopped\" and her cooking is incredible. She was the Chef at Mercato, a fancy and expensive yet ultimately delicious restaurant down the street. Now, you can have the high quality cuisine of one of Philly's best chefs for the bar fare prices that someone like me can actually afford. \n\n-The sides are all awesome. Kale chips, garlic fries, deviled eggs.\n\nGO HERE. As much as I don't want to have to wait for a table, I will feel guilty not telling the world about the amazing plates of Tavern." ]

They also have salchicha huachana , so, if you know about Peruvian cuisine you will love this breakfast!", "Great restaurant if you're​ looking for real Peruvian food I would recommend this restaurant to any of my family and friends great experience, only thing I would recommend is too be little quicker with the ticket times.", "While I appreciate the presentation of the causa rellena de pollo (a classic dish made with yellow potatoes and chicken salad), it was nearly inedible. Very, very salty. To top it off, it took longer than it should've for it to come out. I also got a chicha morada, which instead of being made fresh, it was from a bottle. I finished drinking that before my food came out so I asked for water. The waiter brought over a bottle of water because they \"don't have\" tap water. To top it off, they overcharged me a little but no problem, I just made up for it in the tip. \n\nThe owner was \"on the floor\" but didn't seem too interested in her customers.

As small business owner we strive to offer the best experience when you come to our place, starting with the price. I went here because my sister recommended it. This place is right in our neighborhood so my husband and I decided to give it a try. We both order the lomo salteado which was way to greasy and unflavored for being a Peruvian plate.

The meat was very tasty and they had a good selection of sauces that I found were different from the run-of-the-mill bbq sauce. They took those to the next level. Had the fries and coleslaw as sides. I would say these were also better quality than what you usually get. They don't have an enormous menu but definetely cover their bases. I'll definetely come back and try the rest of it. \n\nWhat also helps is more than decent drinks selection with local craft beer on draft, wine and soda.\n\nThe staff was very welcoming and accommodating.\n\nThey have indoor seating, a nice patio with a covered section where we enjoyed our lunch", "Awesome new BBQ joint on THE HILL! It's in an old gas station that has a very cool bar and inside/outside dining options. \n\nThe brisket burger.... amazing!

From the moment we stepped in, interactions with staff were friendly and helpful. \n\nWe had ribs with fries and brisket with the mac and cheese. Everything was fantastic!

I got one grilled shrimp and an \"I'm sorry we didn't have al pastor, so we made you a carne asada.\" The margarita and the shrimp taco were pretty good. The carne asada could be identified purely by its consistency and had no real flavor.

The only thing that kept me eating it was the side of chili it came with which I used as a flavor mask/chaser. And free chips too, which was kinda cool. \n\nI know I should probably try something else before I give such a harsh review but do not get the chicken sandwich!

Nothing more, nothing less. \n\nAfter hearing hype from a few work friends, I had to give it a shot. In basic terms, here's what I experienced. \n\nThe assembly line moves well. It's a very Chipotle-like style of food assembly. You'll find that out when you come here. \n\nThe crust is pre-made, and almost too perfect. It's also quite flat, like flatbread. I understand that it has to be that way for the service model to work. But it reminds you that deep down this is not a mom and pop place. It's maybe the one drawback. \n\nFlavor-wise though, it's on point. I tried the Dominic which is basically a white pizza with tomato and sausage. The good part about the flat crust is that it comes out crisp, and it's not too heavy if that's what you're in the mood for. It's a perfect portion. The ingredients came together very well.

But I would come here with work friends for lunch again.", "I would LIKE to LOVE this chain based from Seattle, but I liked their homemade teas and lemonades more than their pizza. OK, wait though. The prices are really competitive. $4 something for a 6-incher, $7-something for 11-incher, and mega which is made of two layered pies which I missed the price of.\n\nThe pizza crust is more like a tortilla that's been cooked in the oven until crunchy. It actually reminded me of \"quickie pizza\" I used to make as a kid...tortilla, ketchup, bagged shredded mozz, and pop that sucker in the oven. Okay, that's a gross exaggeration of Mod's pizza offering, and an insult to the caliber of ingredients Mod offers, but the former only to an extent. The crust was like that. \n\nI think it's a bit of a stretch to call it pizza, especially without some kind of qualifier like \"flat bread\" or \"thin crust\" verbiage, because it's more like those types of pizza than the pizza one imagines without those descriptions. \n\nI agree with other Yelper's Mod comparison to a Subway. This is true for the aspects of ingredients and the ordering process. It's unlike Chipotle since Mod doesn't seem (?) to invest as much in organic, GMO-free ingredients, and if they do, they don't advertise it.\n\nHere's how the ordering process works: come in, be welcomed/hello-ed, wait in line for your turn to order, choose a pie size, choose a sauce, choose your toppings, seasonings, then some more toppings and finishing sauces, make it to the order finish line, choose or decline a beverage, pay, wait for your pizza and for your name to be yelled so you can go pick it up from the counter.\n\nI experienced bottleneck while waiting to order and then again waiting to pick up. Despite this, I was impressed they were managing so well at 12pm on a weekday not very long after they opened their doors for business. \n\nI love their selection of sauces and toppings. One could really get creative. They also offer 10 preselected pies for the indecisive. Check their menu for the specifics as there's A LOT to list out. They offer several sauces; white, red, pesto and others. And their toppings are all fresh; real basil chiffonade, fresh sliced baby bella mushrooms (not the canned ones lots of pizza joints have), asiago and Parmesan cheeses. I got the sense that though it isn't organic-ingredients-good, they still don't skimp.\n\nThe atmosphere is very modern. Wood planks. Wall of pictures. And another collage in the back. Plenty of tall tables, round tables for larger groups, small 4-seaters. This is a great place for groups and kids.\n\nOK, so about those drinks. Homemade blackberry puree lemonade--yumm! Pear iced black tea; another mega yum! Mix up the pear lemonade with the black tea for a unexpected treat.\n\nIf you're not fussy (read: not a snob) about your pizza crust and want a reasonably priced, pretty quickly made fresh flatbread-type \"pie\" come to Mod. And bring your kids and friends and family for a great group setting. \n\nBut if you're looking for something that resembles REAL pizza, stay away, because this isn't quite it. The unfortunate part is it's just a mental discrepancy of expectations to reality. If they managed expectations, there would be less disappointment and more enjoyment of reality.", "My first visit to MOD, but not my last. I really enjoyed everything about it -- service was fast, friendly, and efficient; price are super-competitive; and the pizza itself was delish. The topping options were plentiful and fresh, and I appreciated that they had gluten-free options. I didn't have to wait long for my order either, which I appreciated during a workday lunch outing. \n\nOne word of caution - Gateway itself gets crazy at lunch, so parking and entering/leaving the shopping center can be hairy.", "Think Subway but pizzas instead of subs! Their sign says \"fast\" and it is, once you get to the counter to actually place your order. On my first visit here for lunch (weekday), we were in line for close to 25 minutes before reaching the order taker. I'm sure some of this is just a lot of people wanting to check out a new eatery in the area--we had a good 20+ people in line in front of us when we arrived. \n\nYou can pick from one of their pizzas off the menu or create your own (I went with the Tyler pizza). You start by telling the order taker what size pizza you want (mini, mod, or mega) and then as you walk along the counter, you pick out your sauces and fresh toppings to add on top and then they quickly bake it the oven and my pizza was ready as I was still filling my cup with one of their delicious flavored lemonades. I liked the fact that everything is one price, no matter how many toppings you choose to add to your pizza. There are no extra charges for \"premium\" toppings! The crust is thin and surprisingly not burnt. I've been to similar places where a good portion of the crust was a bit burnt. \n\nWe also got the garlic sticks (basically the pizza crust cut into thin strips loaded up with garlic. You also got to pick from a couple of dipping sauces. The sticks were good and not overpowering on the garlic. For dessert, we went with the cinnamon sticks and while good, we probably should have ordered those after our meal as it was a bit cold and hardened up a bit by the time we got around to eating it.\n\nAlso props for posting most of their nutritional info on the menu itself, except it is based on the Mod size pizza and not easily obtainable for the other sizes or any of their specialty pizzas, which my Tyler pizza was one of them. \n\nDefinitely a place I will go back to. They also have shakes, floats, and salads. I actually ate my coworkers side caesar salad for dinner and it was just OK. I would likely just stick with the pizzas but would like to try their shakes next time. Might have to come a little early for lunch next time to avoid the potentially long line.", "Great & fun atmosphere and cool concept. But really skimpy on toppings. I got onions, and counted 4 small rings of it. Got olives, and got 7 little pieces smattered around. And this was the large. Every topping was like this. Crust ok, but really more a flatbread. PS-parking was ample.", "I wanted to update my review. In response to my disappointment expressed here on yelp an employee from MOD reached out and informed me that he would send my feedback to this store. He was also kind enough to promptly send me a $25 gift card. After a couple visits I was pleased to see the improvement. I felt heard and I think that's a great sign of a good company when they pay attention to their consumers. My pizza crusts weren't burnt, the service was great (as usual) and now when I order pesto drizzle it's not dolloped on. If it weren't for this gesture I probably wouldn't have gone back after that experience. I am happy to say that I am now a regular customer and love MOD pizza! Now I am going to convince my friend to give it another try :) If you're wondering what to get, I usually build my own veggie pizza and it's great!", "I first visited Mod Pizza during a business trip to Seattle. The whole idea of this chain pisses me off. \"Hey, let's take the Chipotle concept, apply it to pizza, and charge a lot for it.\" It's a lazy concept in my mind. \n\nFor me, when I want pizza, I want an Italian flag on the wall, a statue of a pizza chef holding a pie, and a gruff owner who sounds like he doesn't want your business. That usually equals good pizza. Not some place where a hipster is making my pie and the menu is filled with fru fru choices. \n\nThe toppings are of good quality. However, the pizza tastes like it is cooked on a tortilla. The whole process of the assembly line to make your pizza was a bit confusing-for both myself and the staff. \n\nNot sure if I'll be back. There are better pizza options in the area like Spatola's in Paoli and Franzone's in Bridgeport.", "I agree 100% with Steve S. this is a Chipotle-esque pizza spot - and I got the mini ($4.97) loaded with veggies.\n\nNot bad! A thin crisp crust (bordering on burnt - so they need to be careful) and lots of goodies.\n\nNo issues.\nQuick and cheap." ]

[ "This restaurant is the epitome of hawaiian fusion at its best. The best part is that you don't even have to put a huge dent in your wallet. They offer a prix fixe menu of 30 dollars where you can order an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I highly recommend the Canoe, which is like an appetizer sampler. The Macadamia nut mahi mahi was superb, and the chocolate cake is a dessert to DIE for. If you want great seafood at a great price, this is a place to check out.", "Great service and great food! Reminescing my experience at Roy's Pebble Beach, I ended up here for dinner.\r\n\r\nThe atmosphere is warm and the chefs worked in an open kitchen. I ordered from the fix prixe menu and had the fusion sampler, mac nut mahi mahi, and the chocolate souffle for dessert...a deal. Everything was delicious! I felt so stuffed! \r\n\r\nContent and in a food coma, I slumped in my seat after the meal. I couldn't finish my dessert and but I keep picking at it...I couldn't bear to have such good food go to waste. One of the servers even noticed and joked that I LOOKED STUFFED. He chuckled at my feeble attempt to finish off the last of the chocolate souffle.", "Roy's food is right up there with the top 5 restaurants in Philadelphia.\nHawaiin fusion fare, soaring ceilings and an open kitchen all make this a great-looking interior. \n\nDon't even question the food - don't bother reading any more reviews - this place is a sure bet. Your male date will love the perfectly cooked meat and your female date will love the fun drinks.", "I used to work for this company. OSI, or Outback Steakhouse inc, that is. This should have nothing to do with how I feel about Roy's, but I thought I should show my corrupt colors just in case. \n\nBack when I still ate seafood, I loved this place. It's on the high end side, but they have specials for two where I believe you can order three courses for 29.99 or something like that, making it a better deal. The atmosphere isn't as chain driven as most OSI concepts, and the food is certainly different from all OSI sisters. \n\nI haven't found myself here in nearly five years, as now I eat nothing that had a pulse ever, but I remember good times and great wine. I hope it has stayed as quality as I remember it.", "I don't have much to add to what's been said by other reviewers -- their descriptions give a good sense of what you can expect. This is a nice place to go to get food that's a little different than elsewhere. The dishes are nicely prepared and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is nice, although some of their background music selections are not to my taste.\n\nOne thing that I noticed is that the price markup on the wine menu seems very high for a restaurant of this class. If you really enjoy wine with your meal and are ready to splurge, that's fine, but a good alternative is to get yourself in the mood for having a beer instead (they have a selection of good beers).\n\nRestrooms are clean and nice, but you need a tour guide to help you find them..", "One of the best meals I've ever eaten, and VERY child-friendly for a trendy fancy restaurant. We brought our 2 year old and they immediately brought out edamame, shortly followed by a plate of apple slices and quesadillas. The prix fixe menu was great, and the waiter was fantastic. Great deal for what you get, even if it is pricy. The desert was fabulous.", "I had always wanted to try this place since I moved to Philly, but the $50+ per person price point (wow alliteration) was a major turn off. Thankfully they participate in restaurant week.\n\nI came here with a group of friends during restaurant last year, and it was phenomenal. We were seated quickly, right in front of the MASSIVE wall-o-wine (I'm sure they call it something a little more classy.) We were ordering from the 3 course price fixe menu, which, considering it was only maybe 1/8th of the regular menu, still covered all the bases.\n\nI had ordered an appetizer of ribs and a main course of mahi fish. We also got the wine paring, which was fantastic (especially considering that our waiter was an aspiring sommelier.) In fact, I had my new favorite wine for the first time in that pairing (Pinotage in case you were wondering.)\n\nThe portions on first look seemed pretty meager and pretentious, but when we got around to eating, we couldn't believe our taste buds. My ribs were so incredible that I actually almost started crying. And the fish was one of the best entrees I've ever had.\n\nAll in all, a fantastic place for a fancy dinner, from the atmosphere to the food.\n\nA+ for Roy", "When I last went to Roy's, my friends took me as a surprise for my birthday dinner. What a treat! My birthday also happened to land during restaurant week, another plus. This restaurant considers its food to be Hawaiian Fusion, whatever that is. There was an array of meats and fish on the menu. All the food was spectacular (I tried some from everyone's plate, my right as the birthday girl!)\n\nThe thing that made me love Roy's is the fact that they introduced me to the pure goodness of coconut ice cream. After I tasted their ice cream, I searched far and wide for another place that served the same deliciousness. I still have had no luck, not that I am complaining about having to go back to Roy's. \n\nUPDATE\n\nI went to Roy's on Saturday for my anniversary dinner. Another amazing trip. I had the American Snapper. The most delicious non-salmon fish that I have ever tasted. I also tried the Mango Pineapple Sangria. Also amazing.", "Roy's is culinary heaven for the fiscally sane on earth. The wait staff is personable, loveable even, and there is a feeling of comfort at any Roy's you visit. \n\nWent here for my birthday one year, after having been to one in Hawaii. Equally as good, obviously with its own unique menu derived from the day's fresh fish. So. Effing. Good.\n\nWe had a party of ten, so much mooching and tasting abounded. My crazy chocolate souffle dessert even came out with a candle & a song from the waiter, who was I might mention extremely adorable. Then the chef signed my menu, which I still have as a fond memory of a filling and fabulous meal.", "Great atmosphere, I found the fake \"aloha\" stuff to be a little schmaltzy, but what the hell. Everyone there was good natured and fun. \n\nRelatively good food. We shared the Momma Lei (or something like that) roll as an appetizer. For the price, there could have been more fish. We also had the beet salad, which was a HUGE let down. For something named a beet salad, we were surprised to only see five or six miniscule pieces of beet on the plate. Way too expensive for the salad we paid for. But the Mahi Mahi with lobster sauce? Divine. We also had a good berry cobbler. Ask for an extra scoop of ice cream." ]

[ "I visited MADD Greeks this afternoon for lunch. It is a brand new dining option conveniently located downtown, near the IUPUI campus. This week is its first week of operations -it has only be open for two (2) days. Since I work nearby, I was looking forward to trying out their menu selections. The restaurant itself is nice, with a large eating area and an open view kitchen. The staff are friendly and the line as well as service moves pretty quickly. \n\nI ordered the \"Taverna Style\"pita with traditional gyro filling, with an add on of fries. The gyro meat was inside the pita was very generous but a bit too tough for my liking. Also, there were only two tomatoes in the pita. The tzatziki sauce was average. The fries were good. \n\nHonesty, I just wasn't wow-ed. Being that the restaurant has been open for such a short period of time, I am willing to come back and visit this place. How often? I am not sure. There are plenty of options in this area, so I imagine it's challenging to come out better than average.\n\nIn the end, it was edible and hopefully with time, the new business kinks will get worked out.", "I just left this place and all I can say is wow....we eat Greek food and have not found a better place...it's all homemade and the sauces are off the hook...try the spicy feta and the Greek ranch dressing...didn't have anything that I wouldnt order again...", "Just had lunch at the new Greek restaurant by campus. We split the grouper salad and MADD greek feta fries between the two of us. The piece of fish was seasoned to perfection with Greek spices and the salad dressing was delish! The feta fries were an appetizer that came with three amazing dips! We will definitely come back even if just for a quick to go order! Great new addition to the assortment of restaurants in the area.", "Stopped in at the MADD Greeks and it was a great decision! This is the ONLY AUTHENTIC souvlaki place within at least 200miles of Indy! Flavors on the grilled meats were crazy good!!\n\nMade me feel like I was back in Greece! Fantastic!!! Will return every chance I get.", "Wow!! This place is true authentic Greek souvlaki place!!! Everything I ate was so delicious! Even their Madd Nachos was awesome! I will be heading back many times!!!", "I'm only here for work and haven't been able to find a legit Greek restaurant that shaves their lamb meat from the gyro vertical griller and makes the tzaziki sauce right!! I've been here since June and tried the other popular places like The Parthenon and Adel's Gyro's and their tzaziki sauce tastes like watered down cucumbers. Here, I've had the original gyro wrap and Madd Greeks Nachos!! So yummy! Been there twice already!", "Me and my dad wanted some greek food while we are staying at IU hospital this week. And I saw that this place was having their grand opening. We are definitely fans. Food was delicious, staff was friendly, and food came pretty quickly. We both got food I've never had before since the only greek food we have back home is a gyro food truck. \n\nOnly complaint I would really have is, the acoustics of that building are awful. There was only 4 other people dining in at the place yet all their voices bounced off the walls and ceiling and made it so we had to talk rather loudly to be heard. Nothing that the staff can really do, but if you want a nice quiet place, you'll have to make sure nobody else is eating in there. But the food still makes it all worth it.", "The saganaki, gyro meat and spanakopita that my wife and I shared at Madd Greek were PERFECT! The meat is seasoned just right and the tziki (sp) sauce was thick and tasty......we r so happy that there is a Greek option on campus!", "Had a late lunch with the wife, daughter and grandkids. I couldn't have asked for better service at any restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic. Fresh pitas with the seasoned meats makes for a great meal. They are a bit pricey. 3 adults, 6 and 7 yo cost $70 plus tip. That's no terrible but I probably won't go back as often as I might have liked.", "I work on the IUPUI and I was excited to try this restaurant. My coworker and I both ordered the spanakopita. The entree was fresh and hot; served with rice and a Greek salad. The entree was large enough to eat half and save the rest for later. I will definitely visit again." ]

[ "The idea of a waffle and ice cream sandwich seems so simple that I wonder how we didn't come up with this sooner. I love ice cream; it's my favorite dessert. This iteration of an ice cream sandwich hits the spot. \n\nMy husband and I shared a half order, which is two sandwiches, each with its own scoop of ice cream. At $5.99, it was a decent price for a shared dessert. I chose butter pecan for my mine and K. chose Irish cream for his. They were both tasty! The waffles were light and had a hint of sweetness and went so well with the butter pecan ice cream! All of the ice cream comes from Serendipity, which is a bonus because they're also local (and yummy). I was expecting the waffle to be slightly crispy, but it was on the soft side. They had probably made it a few minutes before and didn't want to waste them. I almost wanted to ask the employee to make new waffles for our order but didn't want to be *that* person (at least not today) and it ended up tasting so good anyway that I didn't really care. \n\nThe place is quite small and there is only seating for maybe 5 or 6 people in the front window seat area, but they make it work. I liked the black and white boardwalk photos on the wall. \n\nA few kinks for the staff to work out (no stars taken off since it was their opening day) are fixing the receipt machine, making sure the napkin dispenser is not empty, and making sure the trash is not full. \n\nI would definitely enjoy coming back for more ice cream sandwiches (especially since we don't have a waffle maker at home and can't make our own). So go on, head over and have some dessert!", "I was a bit skeptical of waffles + ice cream, but the scoops were perfectly sized and firm enough to eat on the waffle sandwiches without making a mess. The waffles were warm and made to order - YUM. \nSerendipity ice cream is of course delicious. Boardwalk has a variety of ice cream flavors, including gooey butter - also YUM. \nI noticed there was coffee, but did not try any. I do wish there would have been a water cooler. \nWhat impressed me most was how friendly the staff was. They were so kind to my family, offered samples, even asked my son what his name was and gave him a hi-5. The employees seemed pleased and happy. \nWe will most definitely visit again. It will be nice (in the warmer months) to sit outside on nearby benches.", "Fresh, warm, and fluffy waffles + Serendipity ice cream = my new favorite dessert. I don't understand how St. Louis didn't get a waffles and ice cream shop sooner.\n\nWhen my group of 6 walked in, the staff was attentive and friendly. We were graciously provided as many ice cream samples as we requested. I ended up ordering a half, which is a full Belgian waffle made into a sandwich with 1 scoop of chocolate peanut butter and 1 scoop of cherry and it was absolutely amazing.\n\nUnderstand that this business is only a few days old and still has some kinks to work out. There is only 1 section with chairs and there are no tables. My party of 6 awkwardly sat in the corner trying to balance our waffles on our laps. We would've stayed longer if there had been more seating. The other downfall was the amount of ice cream on the waffle. The waffle-to-ice cream ration seemed to be lacking.\n\nI will definitely be back again and hopefully after all the kinks are worked out, will be giving Baordwalk Waffles & Ice Cream 5 stars!", "We stopped in during their Grand Opening for a late night dessert. I love the concept of waffles and ice cream, especially sandwiched together as a combo. I was super excited to try this dynamic combo together as well as trying Serendipity icecream for the first time. I have always wanted to try the ice cream at Serendipty. \n\nThe shop is right next door to Reeds American Table. It is definately a tight fit. There is a small space in the window as you walk in for several people to fit. The young man scooping the ice cream is extremely friendly and helpful. They allow you to sample the ice cream flavors which is cool. I love how the waffles are made to order, so you know they are hot-n-fresh. And for those who opt out of a scoop or two of ice cream on your waffle, you have the option of ordering the waffle alone. They provide butter and syrup for your enjoyment, which is great.\n\nThe waffles were full size. They had a nice flavor. They were soft and chewy. I chose the half waffle which comes with 1 scoop. I chose salted caramel, 1 scoop and left the other 1/2 of my waffle plain to eat with butter and syrup. I was not impressed with the taste of Serendipty's ice cream. I am a huge Jeni's Splendid ice cream fan. There is a reason it's called splendid, because it truly is. Serendipity's salted caramel ice cream does not come close to the complexity and flavor that Jeni's provides, neither do their other flavors.\n\nSomething that stood out to us, is the fact that the owners whom were present during our visit, do not enforce the rule of a hair net to cover your head and face for any employee whom is working the waffle stations. As you can see from my enclosed pic, the man preparing the waffles has quite a bit of hair hanging. He also has a full beard that is not short. It's just sanitary to have your hair covered when preparing food for the public.", "I was a little skeptical when I walked in. I thought to myself... how good could this be? It's just a waffle ice cream sandwich right? I don't even like ice cream sandwiches, I probably won't like this one. Boy, was I wrong.\n\nI normally find ice cream sandwiches way too overpowering. You've got the cookie that sweet and ice cream that's sweet, sweet on top of sweet, even too much for my wife (who has a mouth full of sweet teeth). This was different. Waffles aren't inherently sweet, normally honey or syrup is added for the sweetness. The concept is similar, but instead ice cream is used! Genius! (Why didn't I think of that?)\n\nMy wife and I decided to split half a sandwich. One scoop of butter pecan and one scoop of Bailey's Irish Cream. The waffle was nice and fluffy, and I was pleasantly surprised as to how good the ice cream tasted. But now that I've read a couple of posts, I'm not surprised being that that ice cream was from Serendipity. I really enjoyed my waffle ice cream sandwich. I think a quarter order is definitely enough to satisfy a craving, but I'm probably going to order a half order for myself next time :P\n\nThe store is pretty small with limited seating. If it's not too cold, I would plan on ordering and eating outside. There's lots of cool stores along that area in Manchester.", "Remember that time when you were 13 on a family trip to the jersey shore & you stopped at that ice cream shop w/ the house made waffle cones? Boardwalk brings you back to those simpler times when all you cared about was boys & getting rid of that bacne in time for swimsuit weather. \n\nThis galley style shop is locally sourced w/ serendipity ice cream & their own homemade waffle batter. You can choose you waffle portion & ice cream \"middle\". My husband and I split a full order so we each got to choose our own flavors. I opted for salty caramel & gooey butter cake while he had two different variations of chocolate (I'm a vanilla girl, I like my ice cream like I like my men!). Both flavors were delicious especially w/ some white chocolate & caramel sauce topped though I'd favor slightly towards the salty caramel. \n\nSeating is minimal in this joint, but once the weather warms up I venture the lines will get longer & you can sit outside somewhere along Manchester ave.", "So today I got a notification to try a new spot and I'm now thrilled that I did. Boardwalk Waffles & Ice Cream, you now have a lifetime spokesman and loyal customer! To Keith and his crew, keep up the magnificent work and may your business prosper.", "I love this place! I lived several years in New Jersey and it's hard to find boardwalk style ice cream sandwiches anywhere else. All that's missing are the carnival games. The waffles are fresh and soft and warm and buttery rich without being overpowering, the ice cream is amazing (locally sourced Serendipity brand) in interesting flavors that you can mix, and of course, powdered sugar on top just like on the shore. I highly recommend this as a dessert spot if you're out for a walk (seating is limited and there's street parking), although I just parked across the street at the Shop 'n Save. I got the salty caramel and the pistachio; the salty caramel was my favorite. I'll definitely be back.", "Fast and good service. Waffle cooked perfectly and ice cream flavors on point! Will be coming again with friends!", "Decided to give this place a try since I live up the street! Walked in and the lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. We were asked if we wanted to try any ice creams which we did so. She explained the way it works. We ordered quarter sandwiches which came with a scoop of ice cream. I ordered the Baileys Irish cream ice cream with my waffle and my friend ordered the salty caramel swirl with his waffle. We added a little chocolate syrup to the tops and went on our way! Wow...it was like heaven! Delicious and I can't wait to go back again! The lady behind the counter told us they have breakfast waffles on the weekend...this maybe a Mardi Gra pregame!" ]

[ "I just tried this place for the first time, and I am loving it. Masala Kitchen opened yesterday, in the former location of Marabella Meatball Company (which had been a favorite of mine.) \n\nTheir specialty is \"kati rolls,\" which are meats, paneer cheese, veggies, or eggs, wrapped in a thin flatbread. I ordered the chicken masala roll and achari paneer roll (paneer \"with a hint of pickle.\") When you order two rolls ($3.75-6.00 each), you get $1.00 off. \n\nThe chicken masala roll is awesome. It has huge chunks of tender, white meat chicken in a masala sauce, with sliced onions, in the wonderful kati. The kati is thin enough to not be overly filling, but dense enough to hold all the goodies inside without ripping. \n\nThe paneer roll is also great. Lots of cheese and a delicious, mildly spicy green chutney. None of the food is spicy, for those who are hesitant to eat Indian because of its reputation for hotness. You can add hot sauce upon receiving your order if you want to heat things up. Despite the lack of chili-pepper-hotness, the food is full of flavor and punch from other spices and fresh ingredients.\n\nThe yogurt sauce that came on the side is so good, sweet and savory at the same time, and very flavorful, a lot like tzatziki.\n\nThe staff in the restaurant was very friendly and helpful, making recommendations, and offering us samples of rose lassi (yogurt with rose syrup.) The lassi was really unique, and anyone who enjoys the flowery taste of rose or jasmine will love it.\n\nIf you live in the city (and don't just work there like I do), you will also be pleased that the restaurant is open very late every day. \n\nMonday-Thursday: 11:00am to 12am\nFriday: 11:00am to 3:30am\nSaturday: 12:00pm to 3:30am\nSunday: 12:00pm to 11:00pm\n\nThat's good eating in the middle of the night!", "Solid street Indian food. Chicken and rice tastes almost like the halal guys in NYC. The Kati roll was decent. I had the chicken masala roll and the veggie roll.\nThe veggie roll was surprisingly better spice then the chicken roll. \nGreat place for groups and enough seating to go around. \nDifferent lassi to try including rose and mango. Catering available with FREE delivery. I'm totally game for that!", "Delicious food and great service. So happy to have another great casual lunch and dinner option in midtown village.", "Good Kati rolls with good spice sand flavor. Reasonable prices and nice, fast, and friendly service!", "Delicious food, awesome crew! Absolutely loved it!! Their Kati rolls are out of this world. Portions are well thought of; you can have one Kati roll as a snack or quick bite or multiples as a meal. Looks like this joint is going to get frequent visits from us!", "We ordered delivery from here and were very pleasantly surprised! My boyfriend and I love Indian food but were at bit doubtful about their \"Kati rolls\"- although I love naan I usually prefer rice with my Indian food. However, the rolls are amazing! Our favorite was the Masala roll- it is juicy, a touch spicy, and full of flavor. We also tried the tikka roll, which was great but a little dry. Luckily, they delivered a tasty yogurt sauce with every roll which was delicious and made up for any dryness. We also ordered a mango Lassi which we both really enjoyed.\n\nNot only was the food a hit, but they delivered within 20min for free! Very impressed and will be ordering again soon.", "This place is amazing! After heading home from Vintage Wine Bar where we had some wine and appetizers, my fiance and I stopped here for kati rolls. Everyone there was so friendly and they even let us sample some of their lassis (all which were delicious!). We loved the food so much we ordered kati rolls for delivery a few days later and although it was Saturday night, they were very prompt with delivery and they didn't charge us a delivery fee. The food came hot and fresh. Highly recommend!", "this is my new go-to. The staff is warm and friendly and the place is very clean. I was so down when Marabella Meatball Co closed. BUT.. this is a most welcome change. The chicken masala roll is DEELISHUSS! I went back the next night to get it again. I also gave the aloo paneer roll a whirl and it's also very tasty. I see this place doing very well once the neighborhood realizes how great the rolls are. I definitely recommend this place. I'm sure bar goers will be happy with the weekend 3:30am closing time.", "Tasty Kati rolls for those looking for a quick bite for something healthy and tasty, and a nice neighborhood Chipolte replacement in a similar price point. Don't overlook the Chicken Keema roll for a bite that is more juicy and spicy, the Rose Lassi for something a bit exotic and raves to the quality of the freshly made Naan. Service was efficient, timely and friendly. An excellent food addition to the Washington Square neighborhood!", "Tried the chicken and rice platter, Achari Chicken Roll, and Aloo Paneer Roll. The rolls were good but Chicken and Rice Platter was incredible. Will definitely be back. Also tried Kala Khatta drink, which was mediocre. A lot sweeter than expected." ]

[ "I've been a fan of the Marlton location since it opened so of course I wanted to try their new location, which was closer to my work location. This location is smaller than the one in Marlton but there are tables for you to eat in. I made it in right before lunch hour so it wasn't too busy. I ordered based on the chef's recommendation and got the special crab stick and seaweed salad, and the shrimp tempura burrito.\n\nJust as I expected, the food was delicious. My favorite was the salad because the dressing was just right, which allowed me to taste the different components of the dish. The salad also offered great textures because of the fried kani and the avocado. The sushi burrito was delicious as well. There was a good ratio of rice to kani and shrimp tempura. All of the ingredients tasted fresh!\n\nI don't think I've ever had a bad experience at any of these Sushi to Go locations, which is why I keep coming back. Next time I'll go for the 3 roll/ $10.50 lunch special, which is great for my wallet!!", "I was around the area and thought I'd stop by to get some sushi since I was on my way home. I was told by a friend that Sushi to Go here in Voorhees just opened up recently and that the sushi are fresh and well prepared. Soo I decided to go try it out and I was amazed how fast they prepared it with 2 other people in front of me, and also how great it all tasted! My name is Angel, so to my surprise as I was looking at the menu, I thought I'd get one of the special rolls called Angel Roll LOL. It has Shrimp tempura and cucumber inside with spicy kani on top. It was GOOD. But my favorite roll I had eaten was the Lobster Roll. It looked plain and typical to me, but when I stuffed one piece of that heavenly delicious thing inside my mouth, it MELTED. I'm a big fan of creamy taste so this Lobster Roll just tasted the best. Overall the service was great. Your standard nice customer service and the store was actually not too small. I would've eaten inside (since they do have tables and chairs) but it was getting late so I decided to take everything to go. If you're looking for good sushi and lives in Voorhees, this is the place to order from !", "I was super excited to find this place on GrubHub, less than two miles from my office. I was even more excited to see they had sushi burritos on their menu, as I am a huge fan of Hai Street Kitchen in Philadelphia. I ordered lunch for delivery via GrubHub. My order arrived quickly, in half the time GrubHub indicted! I ordered the Sashimi Burrito, which was supposed to include: salmon and tuna sashimi, guacamole, jalapenos, green onions and tempura flakes wasabi mayo sauce - overall, it was bland, the jalapenos and green onions were nowhere to be found (disappointing because the jalapenos were my deciding factor in ordering this particular burrito) and I wasn't able to detect the wasabi mayo sauce but the fish itself tasted fresh. I also had their kani salad, which was very good. I will order from here again, but I probably will stick to their sushi rolls vs their burritos.", "I've been meaning to go to their Marlton location, but then this location opened up. Great prices and quality, especially for their sushi burritos. I definitely would go here all the time for lunch if I was from the area. One thing to mention though, can someone tell me why spicy tuna is an extra $3 from the spicy salmon sushi burrito? Otherwise, I can't wait to go back and get my sushi fix.", "Great place!! They delivered in under a half hour and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Never had a sushi burrito before and it definitely didn't disappoint. Highly recommend! Especially for delivery", "My husband and I LOVE this place! After moving to the area from Center City- we were having a hard time finding our go to sushi spot. Our search is over! We order take out from here every weekend now. The sushi is fresh and delicious. They always get our order right, and the prices are really reasonable. Another huge plus is that they deliver. Definitely give this place a shot if you are looking for great sushi.", "I believe this is a small, hidden gem in the suburban South Jersey. An hour prior to my visit here, I had a 4 course meal down in Philly; just an fyi to know that I was not even hungry when I came here. \n\n\nWhen I got to Sushi-to-Go , there were two tables and the store had a take-out sort of vibe. I'm not complaining, just an observation. I only ordered the sushi dinner, which included two of each tuna, salmon, white tuna, and yellowtail as well as a spicy salmon roll (I substituted the spicy tuna roll) and a side of green salad. I ordered it to take-out. My order was incredibly cheap as it was 12 bucks for my order. (*remember, two pieces of sushi cost 5 bucks alone at most sushi bars*)\n\nAs for the taste, the quality is amazing for the price. The fish is hella fresh. My favorite is the white tuna because that literally melted in my mouth. I liked the subtle bit of tempura crumbs within the spicy salmon roll. \n\nIn regards to service, I'd say my experience was perfect as the person taking my order allowed me to substitute the spicy tuna roll with the spicy salmon roll without an issue. \n\nAlso, this place has sushi burritos!~ If you don't live anywhere near Hai Street in Philly, this place is a great alternative in NJ.", "This place is Fabulous. I have been to many Sushi Places and I have to say this is the Freshest and Best Sushi I have ever had. It's a small quaint place, really for to go though some tables you can sit and eat...I love their Sushi Burritos! All the workers are very friendly and helpful. I have been there so many times since they opened and have never been unhappy. I will be going back, and recommend this to anyone who loves Sushi...The Place is Clean and I will say it again, The Sushi is FRESH and Quality, I love this place and the people that work there! FIVE STARS *****", "Good sushi... Fresh quick service and reasonably priced \nGreat hibachi dinner - good portion fresh veggie and great place to go", "Love that they have a huge selection for vegetarians compared to other sushi places.

They also serve green tea which is brewed with toasted brown rice, and I can't get enough of it. The decor is soothing/quiet and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys sushi.", "Very nice, very attentive and polite servers, fresh artistic sushi, nicely decorated, quiet. \nTry the Pink Lady appetizer, it's like a Japanese version of jalapeño poppers, really good!", "My wife and I have enjoyed this new local eatery on several occasions since it opened and have added it to our short list of regularly visited local eateries. The sushi, sashimi and Japanese style cuisine are excellent and I find the prices very reasonable.\n\nI especially enjoy the Bento style dinners.", "Good sushi, descent kitchen (had app's and edamame) and a-ok service. Also had the Firehouse roll which was delicious. Overall OK, but not 4 or 5*. The comfortable surroundings and stylishly decorated dining room and sushi bar do make up for the just average sushi. This location is convenient for Medford.", "Excellent restaurant. My husband is very particular about sushi, and he proclaimed the sushi here to be quite good. The kitchen items also were very good, and the service was excellent. Much better Japanese food than other offerings close to Medford.", "The second incarnation of this restaurant has just opened in the same shopping center. There are new ownership, but the food remains as good as it was before. Service was a little rough, but it was only the second night they were opened. Definitely worth going back to for really good sushi.", "IT HAS REOPENED!!! Different owner, but same name and same location --almost, I mean it is the building next to the one that burned down. Sushi was good, not too expensive and the staff is really nice. BYOB.", "I have been back to Kanamizu several more times since it has re-opened and have found that the sushi has been consistently fresh and beautifully presented. Happy to report that the service has improved greatly.t", "Hmmm maybe if this business and others aware that this place is actually opened from yelp they would have more customers. Hopped on in here on a Sunday night. Maybe it was just medford or maybe it's in the wrong strip mall however it was completely dead. Cricket cricket. We wanted to enjoy some sushi and thought we would give this new place a try instead of typical Jasmines or Ginger Asians in medford. The server was very nice and polite. She explained everything that we ordered and along with that the sushi chef was very friendly too! Everything was pretty good. You can't really mess up veggie sushi dishes. I hope they can find a niche to attract more customers for the future. Although one complaint I had tho was that there was only one either soup or salad included on the meal. At most Japanese places I've been to, both were included.", "The sushi rocks here. old place was great before the fire. this place is great too. I think only the name is the same, ie not the same people. but they do it right. big sushi. that's how I like it. don't skimp on the fish. beautiful presentation. very friendly staff. byob. only thing better would be to have a place that sells b next door." ]

What do the employees wash their hands with ?", "There's a lot of mixed reviews about this place (mainly bad ones) but I thought it was pretty good. We decided to try this place on a whim because we were just driving on Fairview looking for a place to eat. And I said I wanted sushi so we decided to try here.\n\nMaybe it's because it was small and I went in with low expectations, but the sushi turned out to be decent for such a plain place. We got a \"sushi plate\" with a couple pieces of Nigiri and a California roll. The fish could have been better, but since it wasn't the only thing I got it it satisfied me. We also ordered two rolls, an Alaskan and Spider. The Alaskan was pretty good (but it's hard to get it wrong really), and the Spider wasn't the best I've had but it was still delicious all the same.\n\nThe staff were friendly, and I'd come here again when I want a sushi fix and my budget is not \"Arigato\"-y.", "If you like food posioning they you'll love Sushi Teri.

I've found the food to be of high quality and the prices to be really reasonable. I like their katsu especially. Their combinations like the teriyaki chicken/tempura combo are pretty good, too. I'd definitely recommend. Their hours on weekends are weird I think so you might want to call ahead just in case.", "Sushi Teri is not my favorite sushi in Santa Barbara, not by far, but when a friend and I want sushi and we're driving by, we can be easily convinced to pop in.\n\nAnd we did! So much for wanting a fresh salad down the road.\n\nIf you just like the salmon and tuna instead of the other bits on a rainbow roll, try the mastercard roll. Like rainbow, but only salmon and tuna!\n\nDeluxe california roll is ample and smothered with smelt roe. Mmm, little crunchy eggs popping in yo mouth.\n\nChicken gyoza is deep fried, not pan-fried/steamed like we were mildly expecting. It's okay, they were still good, and hot.\n\nSalmon skin roll had that gobo stuff I am not entirely crazy about, but I liked the variation to our lunch that was predominantly california roll and variations of california roll.\n\nSushi Teri seems a little pricey for what you get and if you have the means and motivation to stray a couple miles away, you can find more interesting rolls and better prices. But, in that particular area, price and quality are about the same with other sushi places. And you can't beat the company if you're there with a good friend!\n\nSharing three rolls and the gyoza with one other, plus water and hot green tea held me from lunchtime until about 9 pm.

[ "Stopped in to try this place. First it's not in the best spot and the parking lot is small and can get full when busy. Luckly I went after the lunch rush. The employees are nice and friendly and will answer any questions. The menu is pretty simple and there isn't a tone of selections. It's 6 bucks for a basic come which is same as 1 topping slice of pizza and 7 bucks for a premium which gives u more toppings or u can build your own. They have a simple soda machine and chips for extra. I got a meat cone which had pepperoni and sausage and a small drink was 9 bucks which isn't bad but the cone isn't huge and I could have easily ate another one. They say it's equivalent to 2 slices of pizza. Overall for the price and food it was good. The restraunt it's self was weird very industrial which means uncomfortable seating but it only takes 5 mins to eat one so you don't sit that long. Overall a good grab for a good price will probably hit it up again when I am around.", "We stopped in Coned for a quick bite to eat on Saturday. All 3 of us ordered different cones (Buffalo Chicken, Alfredo Chicken and Chicken Parmesan). This is definitely a novelty item at $7/cone because I wouldn't pay $7/slice of pizza unless it was REALLY good. The cone was probably the best part; however, it is very messy to eat once the toppings inside start spilling out. My daughter's cone did not have the cheese melted all the way through (was still in large chunks and cold in the middle) so they sent it back through the oven for us. Overall the place is cute and simple. The staff was just \"ok\" one of the gentleman working provided better customer service than the other girls. For as simple as it is and as slow as it was when we stopped in I was surprised to see employees standing around and not cleaning up wiping down tables, there was trash on the floor and the bathroom needed to be cleaned.", "I really wanted to like this place, like a lot. The location is convenient, the store is beautifully appointed and the staff is friendly. So what's the problem? The food. This place is all about the cone, heck, it's the name. But you want to know the worst thing about this place? The cones. There's nothing special about the cones. It's not quite pizza crust...it's just unflavored dough. Beyond that, all three cones by friend and I ordered all had holes in them which made them impractical. The pizza was nothing to write home about and the process takes forever. We were the only two in line and it still took about 7 minutes for our two dinner cones to be ready. Then, for dessert I was super excited to try their partnership with the STIL for an ice cream cone. However the cone ruined the dessert. It's the same unflavored dough as the pizza, still had holes in it, and it was served warm which melted the ice cream instantly. I feel bad saying this, but everything here would be better coneless. Excellent idea, and it CAN be executed properly (here's looking at you Cozy Cone inside California Adventures) however this place, as is, is not worth the money or calories.", "Pizza Cones are a super interesting concept and I really enjoyed the one I got. They have a pretty good selection and they are relatively quick. This place is right down the road from my work and now I feel like I have a place to run to on my short lunches that will make me feel satisfied for as much, if not less, than I'll wind up paying at work. \n\nI definitively would recommend this place to anyone who wants pizza, as they put a new spin on it. \n\nP.s. The Bavarian Cream Cone is a win for dessert.", "If a new video game doesn't come in 3D, VR, or 4K, I won't watch it. If my pizza doesn't come to me in an irregular shape...I'll probably still eat it, who are we kidding? But hey -- pizza in a cone? That's exciting.\n\nThe hype surrounding the recently opened Coned! and their irregularly-shaped pizzas was real, albeit a tad subdued. We couldn't get very far in life without hearing about it, so we tried it out as soon as we could! And then I procrastinated for almost a month before writing this. Woops!\n\nWe tried three different cones between the two of us; we each got a pepperoni, I got the bbq chicken, and Ken got the chicken alfredo. We also learned, halfway through eating these, that they have ice cream cones (it's just ice cream, but the cone is still pizza dough). We each got one of those, too. I ended up feeling so full, I almost died.\n\nHere's the thing: despite being a cone, it still tasted like pizza. This is good! However, it tasted like pizza with a *lot* of sauce. More than normal. So if you're big into pizza sauce: you'll love this. I don't know if it has to do with the physical dynamic of it being in a cone, or just the way they proportion their ingredients, but at times you are practically drinking the stuff.\n\n- The Pepperoni -\nWith a red, marinara-style pizza, drinking the sauce isn't so bad. The peps were there, the cheese was the right amount of gooey, the crust was pretty solid, nothing special to really note about the taste. Good stuff: Kenny and I both agree.\n\n- The BBQ Chicken -\nThe bbq sauce they use is very vinegary. Not something I might notice on more normal pizza, but remember, you really do end up *drinking* this sauce. If you like drinking vinegar, be my guest. Otherwise, the other ingredients were fine but it really got drowned out by the sauce. I can't say I'd recommend it.\n\n- The Alfredo -\nSee \"The BBQ Chicken\" and replace \"vinegar\" with \"alfredo.\"\n\n- The Ice Cream -\nNow this is worth it. Their ice cream is great (I have no idea who the source maker is), and the pizza-dough cone reminisces of a scone sundae like the kind at Merritt's. If you're stopping at Coned!, you'd be remiss to skip dessert.\n\n- The Verdict -\nConed! is fine, acceptable pizza...if you stick to the marinara style. I don't know if they're going to read this, but the one thing they need to consider to really up their game is to cut back on the amount of sauce per cone. It noticeably drowns down the other texture and flavor you expect to get from pizza. The fact that it's in the shape of the cone can't hide this from the scrutinous taste buds of Boise's most prolific pizza pundits. Neat idea, though. It works really well for ice cream!\n\n3 slices out of 5", "This place is definitely worth a try! For me the experience is the real reason I'd come back. The price is kind of high considering one cone is two slices of pizza. You pay $6 for a basic cone and $7 for the premium cones. You could easily eat two & thats roughly $15 after taxes when you can get a whole pizza for that. Also the dough isn't what I thought it would be. It could've had some more flavor or be more crispier. The service was amazing though & it's interesting watching the process!", "Just ok, sounded tasty and stopped to try. Cute establishment. Liked the appearance of cone pizza. Started out good but as you eat it, becomes messy and the cheese and sauce were cold in middle. Not sure I would return again.", "Pizza toppings in a crust cone? Yes, please! Five stars for deliciousness, service, and fun factor; 3.5 for value (kinda pricey for size; usually by-the-slice pizza is closer to $3). But we still come, because YUM.", "Yummy! I asked for light sauce and it was just right. Excellent customer service. A little pricey, but good pizza usually is!", "This is a fun way to eat pizza. Ingredients are fresh and the cheese is good quality. Price seems a bit much for what you get but the novelty of it all makes it worth it. Good fun. Great staff. We really enjoyed it." ]

The rice noodle was cooked perfectly (so often places over cook these). The only problem was that there were so many noodles that they overwhelmed the pho. there were simple twice as many noodles as needed. too many for the noodles to pick up the flavor of the pho.

There's also an ox-tail broth and vegetarian broth version that I want to challenge myself in the future to see if my palette can distinguish the difference.

Have lived in Asia and have to say we were a bit nervous going in BUT were pleasantly surprised by the authentic dishes!! Yum!!", "One the best Vietnamese places in Indy. I have tried just about every Vietnamese restaurant in the city and this place makes one the best Egg rolls, pho, vermicelli bowls, and bahn mi sandwiches. Great family owned place that people need to try. Sure the name is fun, but i found myself saying \"this is legit\" the whole time. Lol. I will definitely be coming back here." ]

[ "This restaurant seems like a little un- (or at least under-) discovered gem of Springfield. I stopped here for dinner looking for something more than a deli sandwich and I was pleasantly surprised. With nice ambiance and very clean look the place feels inviting and cozy. The interior is not huge with less than 20 tables but there was no wait on a Wednesday night to get seated. I tried the Pollo Capperi from the menu and have to admit it was above the average. The service was quick and cortious, the only small bummer - they were out of tiramisu, which is my favorite desert of all times! Also on a positive note - my dinner including tip came to less than $30 and I left taking large portion of my meal home. Go aheand and visit if you are in the area - you won't be disappointed but remember it's a BYOB!", "Went here for a late night dinner and it was terrific! Service was attentive but not overly so. Food was great. I had the pasta with broccoli rabe and it was not overly garlicky like a lot of places make it. Place felt like a neighborhood Italian joint where everyone knows your name. I'll be back.", "This is your classic Southern Italian suburban eatery. It's small and quiet and a BYOB. It's a fine place for a nice quiet dinner.\n\nPrices are reasonable. Dishes with meat (Beef, chicken, veal) will be mid-teens and include salad and bread. Pasta only dishes will be a little less and seafood a little more. The wait staff is just fine.\n\nParking is not bad with lots of room behind the restaurant. They can get busy so call ahead. No Open Table here. \n\nThis is one of those places that the locals know well but escapes the notice of others. You can certainly make the drive into Philly for better Italian but if you want to stay in the western burbs this is not a bad choice.", "I wasn't expecting much as Delaware County is not really known for their fine dining, but I always enjoy a BYOB and this was a place my mom had mentioned she liked. We came here on a Sunday night for my mom's birthday with a party of seven. The place is pretty decent sized for a BYOB with plenty of tables for large groups, but for some reason we were shoved in the corner right next to another table even though there tons of other large tables open. the decor is very old world italian and they decorate the open shelving with left over wine bottles from previous patrons. I did notice some fruit flies circling around the empty bottles on the shelf near our table, so I'm assuming they weren't cleaned out before being left there. Our original waiter seemed very distracted and was eventually replaced by (I think) the manager after leaving the table for quite some time and not returning. The bread was delivered to the table cold with packets of butter, which i always find strange for an Italian restaurant. I love a warm chunk of bread to dip in olive oil, but maybe that's just me.\n\nThe menu at Cascata is enormous and their special list was equally huge consisting of around 12 to 15 specials that the waiter had to recite. By the time he was finished I might have remember 3 out of the 15 he listed. I ordered the Frutti Di Mare which was pretty good. The give you big portions so you definitely get your money's worth. Every entree comes with a soup or salad and either veggies or pasta. The Bf had the crab imperial which he didn't really like. He said it was more of a crab dip that should have come with bread instead of a full meal. Overall I wasn't really impressed. The service was disorganized and the food wasn't spectacular. I don't think I'll be returning as there are plenty of other Italian restaurants nearby to try.", "After eating here with my family for dinner the night before Thanksgiving, I highly recommend that you do not dine at Cascata. \n\nHere are the highlights: The food is decent, with some good dishes and some bad ones. However, the service, from the waiters, to the manager, to the owner, was so poor with extremely rude and incompetent staff, and so slow, with our food taking nearly two hours to arrive, that we will never go back to this place and I don't think you should either.\n\nWe were a party of 10 seated in a room that also had a party of 26 in it. It was clear that we were not their priority. Our first waiter ditched us about 30 minutes in and then another person took over. We couldn't get water refilled at table because we were being ignored. The food took almost two hours to arrive even after they promised it was \"on its way out\" for a half hour. For some of this time, they had a man playing the accordion for the other group in the room. He was terrible at playing, and it was extremely annoying. \n\nThe waiters were laughing about how long the food was taking and did nothing to try to apologize. The manager was almost worse, apologizing profusely, but never offering to take anything off of the bill. On the way out we talked to the owner, who is the chef and he was even worse than the manager. He said that anything other than the food wasn't his responsibility. What a terrible attitude to have as an owner. \n\nI'm not from around the area, so I don't know about other Italian options. But I am sure there are places where the food is as good or better and where the people who work there care about the service. Don't waste your night by going to Cascata.", "I completely agree with Steven B:\nThis is your classic Southern Italian suburban eatery. It's small and quiet and a BYOB. It's a fine place for a nice quiet dinner.\n\nIt's cute and quaint and has a mom and pop feel all around. We had a waiter that was extremely italian and rough around the edges but very on top of things.\n\nI went with the stuffed mushrooms to start with a house salad. The house salad was delicious but the Italian dressing was creamy, I would choose something else next time. The stuffed mushrooms were extremely tasty but very greasy and buttery, which I like but, just a heads up if you don't. \n\nI went with the grilled salmon special for dinner. It was on top of veggies, a mix of spinach, mushrooms etc, quite delicious. It was well done which I liked, extremely crispy on the outside and tender inside. For the side I had angel hair with garlic and olive oil, perfect portion, not overwhelming. \n\nEverything was very good.", "My party waited nearly waited 2 hours for our food to come out. I ordered Filet medium rare it was well done. Because it took so long I did not send it back. at the end of the meal I was offered a free dessert. Even though we had brought our own cake. I asked the manager to do something like remove the appetizers, she responded we don't do that. Horrendous slow service, pricey food that was just ok, and awful customer service. I highly recommend not going so this restaurant can go out of business. I have had such bad service at a restaurant ever.", "A 1 star Eh rating is an over statement. Poor, displeasing, horrible are all better. I went to this restaurant last night for a friend's birthday party. I drove with 3 others all from NJ. It took us 1 hour to get there.\n\nWe got to the restaurant around 7. We were part of a party of 14 people & were seated promptly. Right away when I got to the table I saw a problem. We were packed in like a herd of cattle. There was one long table for 10 that should have seated 8. At one end there was a shorter round table that was for 2 but they shoved 4 people here. Plus they put an extra chair behind me. I couldn't pull it out because we used to hold gifts for the birthday girl and we had no where to put without putting it with the party next to us. My back hurt from sitting so straight.\n\nAbout 30 minutes later the rest of the party arrived & our first waiter took the appetizer order. That came out fast! The bruschetta was nasty. It was soaked in oil & the toppings were eh. The calamari was ok I was told.\n\nAbout 30 minutes later the waiter took our food order. Here is where it got bad. Our order took 90 minutes! In the 90 minutes they apparently switched servers on us. They kept bringing bread but gave up doing that. I lost count how many times the second waiter we had told us that on average there is a 45 minute wait for food on the weekend. THAT'S HORRIBLE! Get your act together, you can't do that people. Around 9:30 we finally got dinner after 6 tables in our room either finished and left or were about to finish their meal. All these tables ordered right before us or well after us.\n\nMy fettuccine alfredo was pretty good, but not worth the wait. Some people ordered baked foods that they needed spoons for because it was like soup. When questioned the waiter said that it was correct. My friend ordered a meal with veal in it. He's still looking for the veal. They should have said veal flavored. Another ordered a medium-rare steak. It came medium-well. When asked if it was okay by the waiter he hesitated & said ok. The waiter offered to recook it but he didn't want to wait 45 minutes again. Another person ordered the ravioli & got 4 for $20 bucks. Olive Garden gives you more.\n\nAfter dinner the waiter asked who wants cake. He stopped mid-sentence because he ruined the last part of the surprise for the birthday girl. \n\nThey brought us the cake, we sang, they took the cake away to cut up & cut it to serve. While they were cutting it our third waitress came & asked my friend with the bad steak if he wanted a free dessert or coffee for it. He politely asked if as a table could have a 20% discount or free appetizers for all the above problems & the 2.5 hour wait. She said she would have to ask the manager. The manager/owner lady came over & told him \"No we don't do that.\" She refused to accommodate us like they didn't do anything wrong by making us wait, cramming us into the table, or by serving other parties. When we asked why the table of 2 got there food & left in an hour she said \"Cause that was duce\". How rude was that? She couldn't even say a table of two, she had to say duce. I asked if she would even take off 1/2 of the appetizers but she refused. We decided to stop wasting our breath & leave.\n\nWhen the 3rd waitress came with the check she saw fit to take care of us where the manager wouldn't. We were thankful for that.\n\nA place like this doesn't deserve business if they can't treat customers' right & make good to keep the customer happy. We were better off going to the bowling alley across the street. It would have had better seating, better managers, better serving, & cost less. Living in NJ is a natural barrier to going back here but even if I lived in the area I would never go back. This place will go out of business or be bought by new managers at some point because these people don't know or care about their business.\n\nSave your money go to Olive Garden, your experience will be better.", "Outdated decor and style. Friendly staff. Food was okay, not worth a second trip. The Alfredo sauce was more like white water.", "This place is great! Love that it is a BYOB. I have have many events here, wedding rehearsals, birthday partys, graduation partys, all great! The salmon is the best around! Better than any seafood place. Try it, you'll like it!" ]

Got a couple free samples and ordered a Hawaiian Pie protein drink - housemade cold-pressed almond milk, lemon, coconut, grahams, banana protein ($5 for 16 oz). It was OK, it definitely had that protein taste. Met a friend here who ordered a bowl, which she didn't have a favorable opinion of due to its blandness. They offer cold pressed juice, bowls, wraps, supplements and things of that sort. It should do really well since it is connected with the gym and the service is friendly (and the ladies are attractive, fellas). Saw a lot of people taking photos with this big dude. Turns out he's the wrestler/actor Batista. So come for the healthy food and stay for the people watching.", "This is a great way to give your body what it needs while giving your tastebuds something they will definitely enjoy! The Nutrition Factory features an extensive menu listing everything they have freshly prepared, and ready to eat, to help you create the salad, bowl or wrap that you desire.\n\nPick a protein, a grain, various veggies, and decide how best to enjoy the combinations you create. Simple, easy, fast and tasty.\n\nI have not tried everything but I already have a few favorites. The shrimp and chicken are delicious and but it was the bison meatballs that made me a believer. Had never tried bison fearing it would be dry and not to my liking but now I know that is not the case.\n\nThe staff is always helpful and can be great guides when it comes to ordering off the menu or going it alone and making your own personal \"craveable combination.\"\n\nAll of the items are beautifully - and individually - displayed so there is no chance of ingredients intermingling. That is a pet peeve of mine because I want to taste only what I order and not find some random bit of something else in my dish. \n\nIn addition to the food items which now include breakfast (protein pancakes, quinoa and egg scramble bowls or wraps and \"raw\" oatmeal, to name a few), there are cold pressed juices plus protein shakes (possibly the best I've ever had) and post-workout performance amino slushies.\n\nThe interior area is lively and the communal table is surrounded by displays of various health-enhancing products. It also overlooks the adjoining gym so if the food isn't inspiration enough, maybe watching others working out will inspire you to get back in shape.\n\nThere is an outdoor sitting area that is set well back from the highly trafficked Hillsborough Avenue.\n\nEat well, feel well, be well. Now there's an enjoyable, affordable and easy way to make that commitment come true so why not factor in The Nutrition Factory into your lifestyle and let the health benefits begin!", "Heard about it from Uber Eats. Absolutely delicious!!! And not horrible for you. I got one of the bowls with the cauliflower and the sweet potato hash. super flavorful. Definitely recomend!", "My Go-To lunch place!! The bowls are so delicious and nutritious. You can't go wrong with the protein choices, they are all flavorful and they do not skimp on the portion sizes. I am so happy to have a healthy alternative in the neighborhood!", "This place is attached to a gym. I actually didn't know that for a while because I would just Uber food at school. For what you get in their bowls the prices are really fair. It's sort of like getting a bowl at chipotle, but with better ingredient options and you're probably less likely to get E. Coli.", "Probably the best gym cafe you can find. They have smoothies and even a \"bowl\" system like Fresh Kitchen, Chipolte, etc but the foods even cleaner! They also sell supplements and what's better than having a place like this attached to the gym!?!?", "I stopped by the nutrition factory after a workout. I wanted an all natural cold pressed smoothie that hit the spot. I wanted a beet and ginger juice but they were out of stock. I had a berry juice smoothie that tasted good but I was not overly impressed. I saw that you could build a bowl or salad. I wish I would have done that. The options looked tasty and I am sure I would have enjoyed that more. The prices were average. My smoothy was about $7. If you are looking for something healthy check this place out.", "Yea, so the bison meatballs I ordered were as dry as my grandmother so I thank you for making me pay extra for that", "I just tried this place out from UberEATS. The food came quick but they left out the avocado on my custom fresh salad. The other ingredients were good but the salad was dry since I didn't have the avocado for moisture/fat content. Not sure if they were out of it, but in that case they could have called to give me a substitution or put that on the app. Probably will order from somewhere else next time.", "This place is soooo good. Great option for vegetarian meal. The bowls and wraps can be ordered without meat. I spoke with the manager and he is planning to put non-meat protein options on the menu (i.e. Tofu) as he has a lot of vegetarian customers." ]

[ "Green Leafs is a quick serve soup, salad and sandwich bar located in the Philadelphia airport. Staff seemed a bit distracted and did not provide a friendly welcome. They have a medley of different salads to choose from or to make your own. Ingredients seemed fresh and plentiful. Price points are reasonable given salad weight. There is also a soup and sandwich component to this establishment. The food was OK to slightly lower than OK, hence the MEH. If the service was better, I think it would get to a 3-star rating. Perhaps it is a nice change from the typical burger and fries at the airport. Good luck and enjoy your stay in Philadelphia!!", "Seriously laim Airport food...\n\nMake sure to ask for a receipt... They will not openly offer one.", "This is the second time I've been forced to fly united and consequently, come to green leaf's. Both times the staff have been complete and total pros. Relaxed, chatty, smiling... And the rarest Philadelphia retail animal...happy. Seriously, id pay more any day just for human beings like these to wait on me in a restaurant. Kudos to management for creating what must be a pleasant work environment...or maybe they're just naturally pleasant! Plus my smoothies were good too.", "Overall it was one of the better places I saw in the airport, but it wasn't amazing. The salad greens were all fresh, the employees were all pretty friendly, and the prices seemed fair for an airport. My salad with organic greens cost $8.50 I think.\n\nMy complaint is that they vegetable toppings I received were super skimpy, but my salad was overwhelmed with the blue cheese I wanted. I mean, I love blue cheese and all, but isn't the cheese more expensive than some veggies (usually)? If so, why overload me with cheese when I want a salad.\n\nI would go back though if I were in the airport in that terminal.", "I'm surprised to see any negative comments. Green Leafs was the BEST place I've dined in so far at the Philly airport. The topping were plentiful, the staff was uber helpful and friendly, and EVERYTHING was fresh. I was VERY pleased!!! This was one of the best salads I have ever had ... even beyond the airport!", "Just the kind of place I was looking for. Between the salad and smoothie, I paid like $14, but it was tasty and it is the airport...terminal D btw.", "Whilst chillin in PHL, I yelped myself to this place. I was aimin for Le petit bistro, but couldn't find it (I'm not good w being smart). So to the salad store I went. Had the Asian salad and enjoyed it. Dressing on the side worked as the chicken and other stuff had enough crap on it that it still tasted good. I was happy w the salad and the greens will be good for my poop. Yay!", "Pretty good for airport food. At least you can feel healthy eating a salad or some yogurt. I've had a couple salads here and they have been alright. The people are very friendly but the last time I was there it was incrediibly slow. That would have concerned me if I didn't have plenty of time for my flight. I think there may have been some new people training or something because they were all over the map on who was supposed to be doing what behind the counter.", "Good smoothie, but obnoxiously rude manager? \n\nAsked him about the large vs small smoothie, asked to see cut, tough to visualize numbers. He gave me dirty look and reply. After I paid, no thank you, nothing.\n\nI guess when you are at the airport you can treat people like crap", "Decent salad for airport food.

[ "I was waiting for this restaurant to open after Ciao closed. It was supposed to be named Bite with tapas, but who knows what happened there.\n\nThey do have some small plates here. On the first visit I had the truffle macaroni and cheese with a glass of wine. It was good, and I love truffle oil, but it was a tad overwhelming.\n\nThe second visit I had a spinach and cheese pizza. The crust is very thin (which I like) and it was enjoyable. My husband had fish tacos. They were $11 for two little tiny tacos. He said they were just okay.\n\nI will continue to go back and try new things on the menu. The wine selection is nice and I enjoy the atmosphere.", "Food = great! It said american bistro...but there was a lot of pan-asian items. \n\nTruffle mac-n-cheese was good, but needed a bit more seasoning. Yes, it tasted like truffles... I tried the egg fried rice and hot-n-sour eggplant... and the fried rice was awesome, but the eggplant was really undercooked, so we had to send it back. I changed it to their chicken-dumpling soup....which was just flavorful and addicting. \n\nDrinks = great selection of wine, beers and cocktails. We tried their tangerine margarita, which was on the rocks...it was great--slightly sweet, tangy, and strong tequila, meng!\n\nService = great. They were very attentive, friendly, and just full of personality. \n\nThis place was a real gem in Reno for us. :)", "I'm hesitant to Yelp this place because I feel like it's some sort of secret in Reno...the food here is insanely delicious and reasonably priced. I came for a friend's birthday dinner and enjoyed myself immensely. The place is spacious - not overly swanky, but definitely a \"nice\" restaurant. \n\nI tasted the crab cakes (good), mac 'n cheese (shells are not my fave, but I wouldn't mind this again...and again...and again), ribs (excellent), miso crusted seabass (omg, I wanted to demolish it all...but given that it was the birthday girl's entree, I thought it'd be kinda mean) and the cheesburger sliders (SO delicate and delicious). \n\nMinus 1 star for our mildy grumpy/standoffish waitress. Boo.", "I visited this very well decorated place just a week ago. It hasn't changed in appearance much from Ciao, but nonetheless it is still a very modern nice looking restaurant. The wine list consumes most of the menu, but that's where the pleasantries end. \n\nService = 0 there wasn't any. I showed up on a Tuesday evening around 7:30pm and there were only two people at the bar and a total of three tables being used in the dinning area. Of course we were sat right next to another table which took a little privacy away, but not a night killer. The waitress was less than useful. Not once throughout the entire meal did she smile or show that she may have a personality. Nothing on the menu was explained or recommended, no specials or soup of the day were offered, and for having such a large wine menu one would think that we would at least be solicited to buy a glass or have the wines presented to us. Nope nothing.\n\nAmbiance - well, all of the tables had candles on them; not lit of course and I could see that there were speakers on the walls for some back ground music, but nothing was playing from them. With less than a dozen patrons in the place a little back ground music would have made it feel as if they were giving restaurant operation a C effort. At last, after an hour (we did not mention anything) the bus boy came by and lit all the candles and we suddenly started to hear those wall mounted speakers working. Seems a little late for that seeing as how nearly every table was nearing the end of their meal.\n\nFood - Mediocre at best. We had the stuffed olives which sounded delightful on the menu, but were less than desirable. The menu description is very misleading and they are not something I'd recommend. They seem to have pizza making down as the pizza was pretty good. I ordered the ribs and they would have been better had the chef ran to the grocery store and bought them pre-cooked from the deli. The meat was not tender and tasted either over cooked or maybe was just bought on the clearance rack from their distributor. For desert we ordered fondue and it was ok, besides the fact that you need to make a special order to receive fruit which struck me as odd.\n\nPresentation - the presentation of all the courses was well done. great plate and glass designs. Food was well dressed on the plates.\n\nPrice - well, had it not been for the waitress messing up two attempts at ringing us up it has since been followed up by a double charge to my card which I am currently trying to resolve. Outside from that the food prices were great.\n\nOverall - this place has all the makings of being a hip new cool restaurant, but the food and the service are lousy. There is no publicity for this place so I guess one day someone that wants to have a successful restaurant will buy this place because it definitely looks good inside and could be a place to visit with the right combination of food and service (aren't those the two most important items in a restaurant???).", "They're getting 3 stars, with the potential for four.\n\nI stopped in here for lunch around 1:30, and the sign on the door said they close at 2:30, before reopening later.\n\nAnyway, I liked the decor. The space is large, with maybe seating for 50 or so on the left, a large curved bar with seeing for 20+ on the right, and a half dozen smaller tables in the bar area as well. Lots of dark colors, and a slightly industrial feel with the high, unfinished ceilings. \n\nI think I saw 4 other people (2 at the bar, 2 in the dining area) in the place when I went in, so I either missed the lunch crowd, or they're just not that busy during lunch.\n\nAnyway, I had the fish and chips and a beer. The presentation was excellent, and I was excited to dig in. There was a large, white, deep, saddle shaped bowl with a generous portion of fries and 3 pieces of fish. This bowl shared space on a larger plate with small dishes of ketchup and tartar sauce, which had a bit of freshly minced ginger on top, as well as some chives.\n\nThe fries were the smaller, shoe-string variety that seem to be popular these days, with some random greenery and some freshly shredded, hard cheese. These were definitely tasty. Unfortunately, the fish could have used a bit more time cooking, as the breading was still slightly doughy on 2 out of the 3 pieces. \n\nIt's a good thing I didn't need anything though, as the bartender never checked in on me, until I had finished. Not a huge deal, as I don't usually have requests to make, but if she had forgotten the malt vinegar, or I had wanted Tabasco, it would have been an issue.\n\nOverall, the menu looks intriguing, with lots of interesting choices, but slightly on the expensive side (the fish and chips and a beer were around $17 total). The sashimi sliders sound interesting, though they don't mention what type of fish the sashimi is . . . I'd assume ahi?", "This place is as good as it gets.\n\nI stumbled upon it one night while searching aimlessly for somewhere to eat. There's a mexican place in the same center so I pulled in, parked and then I noticed the entrance to Bistro 7. \n\nI can honestly say that this place would hold it's own in New York, Chicago, L.A., wherever. I sat at the bar, and after having a masterfully crafted mojito, I got some kind of pecan salad that was ridiculously good (and I'm a rugby guy, not a salad guy). I then got the steak frittes. The steak was quality stuff, not too much of it, but not too little. It came with seasoned fries. Oh, and the aioli (?) sauce that came with the steak was worth writing home about (or at least yelp. My mom would be all confused if I wrote to her about some steak sauce, no matter how good).\n\nMy only regret is that my project has come to an end in Reno, so after tonight I don't know when I will return. And I would also gladly pay my own money to eat there, the fact that I expensed the meal was just a bonus.\n\nPlease support this place, it's truly a diamond in the rough.\n\ndm\n\n\nNOTE: The map on Yelp (in the corner) is WRONG. It's best to google map the address yourself", "Great place, nice atmosphere and fantastic, attentive service. I had the fish and chips which was delicious, but as noted in other reviews there are loads of pan Asian selections on the menu too.\n\nI was surprised that it was so quiet when I was there, and that a lot of people I've spoken to have never heard of it. \n\nHowever, the dessert was a little disappointing. I had the creme brulee, which wasn't all that. My friend had some kind of ice-cream/sorbet which was yummy.\n\nMaybe a little expensive for an average meal out, but I'll be coming back here for special occasions for sure,", "I loved this place. We went last Thursday, and had a great experience. \n\nWe had the privilege of being served my the owner. There were 5 of us and we all had something different. Spare ribs, teriyaki steak, halibut, mac-n-cheese and fillet. I am pretty sure we all enjoyed our meals. we also had a GREAT wine, and fantastic dessert. \n\nThe atmosphere was very modern and chic. There was local art work and a dj booth that the owner had made. \n\nI will definitely me going back!", "I am updating my review from last year...this place has become one of my favs.\n\nThey have Happy Hour Tuesday-Friday from 4:00-6:00, but all day on Monday! This is my favorite day to come. Wine by the glass, well and domestic beer is all 1/2 off. They have a happy hour menu with items such as the hummus, sliders, pizzas, pretzel bites and truffle mac and cheese. I usually meet a girlfriend and we mix and match 2-3 items to share. My favorites are the hummus and the sliders. The hummus is served with warm flatbread that has a great flavor. The hummus is delicious! The sliders are hand formed, juicy little burgers on a brioche style bun. They are super delicious. The mac and cheese is great as well and the pizzas are always a favorite. The selections of wine by the glass is great. The Prisoner is available by the glass (don't see it everywhere) for $15.00 a glass, so I love having a couple of glasses on Monday night at that price I tried the watermelon gazpacho a few weeks ago, and it was interesting and fun. \n\nDinner is reasonable and service is attentive. The hand squeeze their juices here, which also makes for some yummy cocktails. Not on happy hour, but worth it!", "Absolutely could not have had worse service. I'd love to spend a little while ranting about how offensively worthless this restaurant is, and how they don't deserve your money. But I think I'll just hit the high points and not waste too much of my life on it.\n\n1) Went to the \"1 year anniversary and patio opening\"\n2) Restaurant was not even half full\n3) No hostess\n4) Asked a server (who seemed to think she was incredibly busy with 3 whole tables) if there was a hostess who could seat us 15 minutes into the wait. Her reply? \"Yeah we have a hostess. She's over there\" to which I inquired where she might have been for the last quarter hour. Answer? \"uh, she's probably, you know, SEATING SOMEBODY.\" \n5) Walked through the entire place to see if any of the staff would even notice customers aimlessly cruising through the room. They didn't.\n6) Waited 35 minutes total. NO SERVICE AT ALL. \n7) Finally got the attention of a girl running around for no apparent reason and her reply was, \"OH I didn't know. I thought you were waiting for the bar\"\n\nIn a quarter century of going to restaurants, I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER waited for a bar. Are you joking? \n\nThe owner was apparently in the kitchen, oblivious to the plight of his celebration's potential participants. Maybe he should have been IN the restaurant talking to his customers about their experiences.\n\nOr maybe there's a reason that the place was half empty for the commemoration of it's existence. \n\n\n\nOh, PS: the patio apparently isn't equipped for any precipitation, so it never even opened. \n\nDon't bother with this place.

[ "This California Pizza Kitchen is clean, and sports an outdoor seating area. (Sure, it's facing a parking lot, but if it's a nice day, it's nice to have an option, right?) They have a spacious interior, and quite a bit of seating. Anyone else notice how low the seats are in the booths?\n\nFor appetizers, we had their Sonora egg rolls ($9.79), wonton rolls filled with grilled lime chicken, roasted corn and black bean salsa, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, mild chiles, green onions, and cilantro. On the side was a tomatillo salsa with a slight ting, and a ranchito sauce that looked like Thousand Island. Pretty good, though I wish we had more salsa.\n\nWe shared a personal-sized Hawaiian pizza ($11.99) - that's pineapple, Canadian bacon, Mozzarella, and their sweet house tomato sauce - and a half order of a classic Caesar salad ($6.49). Both are dependable, safe choices.\n\nIsmael provided outstanding, friendly service, checking on us often, and offering the dessert menu after the meal. (Sadly, we were full.)\n\nIf you're a fan of California Pizza Kitchen, this location does fine. If not, your mileage may vary.", "I've been to many Pizza places and I've got to say, they're one of the best!!! Their thin crust pizza is great! And while they're a bit expensive for my taste- $4 for a soda!, I think their lettuce wraps are better than the ones at P.F. Changs. \n\nA clean restaurant with a nice outdoor seating area, this particular one is a bit on the small size, therefore when it's busy, it's very noisy. But they do have a very good BBQ chicken pizza. Their Pesto Chicken Pizza is one of my favorites. And they used to have a pizza with curried chicken on it that was quite good but they don't have it anymore. \n\nNaturally, their chicken, pasta, and fish dishes aren't that wonderful. It's a Pizza Kitchen, so what do you expect?!?!? Their desserts are nice, I like their Tiramisu and Turtle Sundae. \n\nCheesecake Factory does have a bigger and better lettuce wrap, but the sauce that comes with the lettuce wrap at CPK is divine! You can order a pint of it for about $5. \n\nOverall, I think they have wonderful pizzas, service, interior, exterior, and lettuce wrap sauce. They are consistently great which is why I will continue to go back. And, I will continue to buy their frozen pizzas at the grocery- they're half the price and almost just as good.", "Stopped by for a midweek dinner with friends, and was extremely underwhelmed by everything about the dinner experience. There was no single operational transgression that detracted from the experience, but rather a confluence of minor annoyances:\n\n- we had to stand around in a crowded waiting area for 20 min\n- the service, especially time from seating to drink order, was pretty sluggish\n- the food was pretty bad: margherita pizza arrived semi-congealed, as it seemed as if it had been sitting out for a while. My $13 signature BBQ chicken pizza was also not that great. \n- the tab was pretty high, given the quality of the meal\n\nI think the facet that made this meal bearable was the fact that we were with good friends whose company we enjoy. Had it not been for them, this would have been a pretty miserable experience. Sorry.", "I am generally such a fan of the California Pizza Kitchens (no kidding, I squeal like a little girl every time we pass one and it's around lunch/dinner time).\n\nThis one, was kind of a disappointment.\n\nThe focaccia bread/sandwich was dry. The Chicken BBQ salad was good. The miso salad was only OK.\n\nI will probably go back just for the Chicken BBQ salad, but I was not impressed with the rest of the selections.", "This is definitely not the place for me. I am a big fan of \"mom and pop\" pizzeria's where you can get amazing food for a good price and you can see and taste the quality. CPK reminds me a a factory that is constantly turning out food in massive quantities without doing a quality control check. \n\nI have been here a few times and feel that the experiences have been identical. Long wait ( in a small area), service that is a snail's pace, and food that is underwhelming. My pizzas, even the marherita (which is probably the simplest one on the menu), usually come out crusty (in a bad way), congealed, and cold. Not really what I want for the amount of money you have to spend. \n\nOn a positive note....this place is pretty clean (even for my crazy OCD standards). I enjoy the way the main dining area is set up with high ceilings, bright colors, and funky accents. Unfortunately, it is just not enough to make me enjoy CPK.", "I have gone to this restaurant a few times since it has opened. Originally, I had no qualms with this place. The food was good and interesting enough, and the service was just fine. However, since my first visit, I have been nothing except disgusted and dissatisfied. I am a very patient and forgiving person when it comes to restaurants (seeing as I work in one), that being said, it takes a lot for something to get to me when it comes to dining out. The past two times I have eaten at CPK, I have had slow service. The food did not change (although I did have an unfortunate take-out incident with this place...but that's besides the point), and neither has my seat (in a smaller booth in the middle of the restaurant on the side facing the bar), and surprisingly enough neither has the horrible service. The past two times I have been there it has taken our server over five minutes to greet us. Each time our server looked as if they had just rolled out of bed with out a shower...or even a wash of their hands. They lack character and personality, and make the experience miserable. I do not intend on returning to this restaurant, unless if by some miracle their service improves greatly. The only reason I didn't give this restaurant one star is because the food is consistently OK.", "I've said before that I don't mind paying for good food, but honestly the pizza here isn't good. I'd much rather go to Peace a Pizza or any mom and pop pizza place and save a few bucks in the process. CPK is way overpriced and just isn't quality food.", "This place is the worst. Run.\n\nI ordered a chicken salad here and it came without chicken. When I complained they could have cared less. \n\nGuess what now I don't ever care to come back here. \n\nPitiful.", "Run and run fast. \n\nI went with 3 friends. We ordered soup, salad, and pizza. Everything came out at the exact same time and didn't fit on our table. Our waiter apologized and said that the kitchen must have been \"confused.\" The margarita pizza was soggy, and the artichoke pizza was just plain gross.\n\nThe night ended with 1 of our friends throwing up, and the other 3 feeling like they needed to throw up. Good times. Avoid this place at all costs.", "Let me begin by saying I love CPK. I have been eating at their establishments for years when they were only in LA.\nSo the fact that I am giving 2 stars is really tough for me. And truthfully, this location only deserves 1 star.\nArrived 4:30 on Friday. Was with elderly mom. Took + 15 minutes to be waited on. Mom orders pizza. I order salad minus some toppings . Took 30 minutes to get food. My salad had all the items I asked to have left off . When server asked how dinner was I asked if he told kitchen no fried toppings. He stated yes, then said WHY? All the time I am picking wontons off salad. Do you want it remade ? WELL , YEAH !!!! Salad comes back yummy. Moms pizza yummy. Then mom wants desert. I order coffee. Comes out tight away, but no spoon. Server can't be flagged down. 10 minutes later I get spoon. Still no key lime pie. 1/2 hour later I tell server drop pie, want check. He states desert will be delivered in s second. 5 minutes later no key lime pie. Check please. Server says he did the best he could. I comment over 1/2 hour for cold pie unacceptable .\nAs we are leaving g manager appears with pie. Asks. Server which table . I comment probably ours have been waiting 1/2 hour for pie ! She offers to box for takeout but we decline. Box would have been another 15 minutes.\nMy advice- go anywhere else unless you have unlimited time and patience !" ]

[ "This place was new in the area, and my family and I decided to try it! It was an amazing idea, might I add. Their sushi was great, and their hibachi was spot on! A hibachi order comes with shrimp and noodles, soup, salad, rice, and the actual hibachi itself. We had gotten the steak and lobster, and it was amazing. The steak was soft and delicious, and the same goes for the lobster! However, our drinks, we got a coke and root beer, seemed kinda watered down, and service was kinda slow, but it was pretty busy, so I'll give them that. The actual place was kinda small, but looked nice, especially since the layout was an old IHOP building. All in all, our experience was amazing, and we might come back if we are craving some Hibachi.", "Went there a few days ago for lunch, and I think it tasted better since it was 20% off. Ordered the steak and shrimp teppanyaki and it was prepared in front of us -- but not like at a traditional Japanese Steak House where you sit in a C-shaped table with a bunch of people you don't know and the chef puts on a show while he cooks. The food was delicious!\n\nAlso ordered some sushi (chef's choice on the menu) and it was also very good.\n\nLunch on the weekend comes with a complimentary mimosa (as of this review) which was unexpected but pleasant.\n\nGiven that the building used to be an IHOP, I was very pleased with the décor. Will definitely be back!", "Visited on one of their first nights open. They serve hibachi meals but not at the traditional tables where they cook in front of you. I prefer this because I don't like group seating and my other half doesn't like the extra heat from the table. \n\nThe host seemed new or nervous as there were many open tables when we came in but he asked us to have a seat and wait anyway. We waited about 15 minutes when a gentlemen who appeared to have some authority spoke to the host and we were seated right away. Not sure why they did not seat us to begin with because this was never explained or apologized for (if the kitchen needed time to catch up or the staff was behind, I understand, but I would like to be informed so I don't sit and stare at empty tables, wondering why I can't have one).\n\nOur server was very sweet and handled things in a timely manner.\n\nThe inside is beautiful! You can't really tell it used to be an old IHOP. I loved the water features and the ceiling/wall murals. \n\nWe both had chicken and shrimp and the meat was perfectly cooked. The only downside was the rice was a bit either under or overdone as it had an odd crispness to certain bites (not like a paella but not like it hadn't been cooked either). The noodles were very good. I would love to try some of the expensive beef options (the last time I had such beef was in Europe and it was not quite this pricey) but worry about how they will maintain the quality/freshness of high end beef in this area where I don't image too many folks are spending 90+ a plate. \n\nAll in all we will definitely be back and it is definitely worth a try if you are looking for a higher end Japanese style meal.", "We stopped by this evening to try out Oishi after its opening, we were very impressed with the food, service and decor. Once inside we were greeted and seated very quickly and our orders were promptly taken. Drinks came fast as well as our food order.\nI had the sirloin steak which was cooked perfectly and cane with rice, soup, ginger salad and noodles with shrimp. She had the chicken with fried rice, a California roll, soup and salad which was perfectly prepared as well. The service was fast and friendly. All said, this place was very impressive and we'll definitely be going back every chance that we get! We were lucky to have received a 20% discount but even without the discount the pricing was very good compared to the amount of food that we got. Definitely A+ and a must try..", "Great atmosphere, great service and amazing food. What the owner did to this place is amazing, it used to be an ihop, and wow every inch of the place was redone. First time walking into the place I didn't know what to expect, but wow is the only word that I can use describe the inside. Been here 4 times now since it opened and every time the service is always wonderful. Servers Trang, Debbie, and Michelle were the ladies that have taken care of me when I come into the establishment. There hibachi is set up differently from other hibachi places but still the food comes out hot and delicious. Only a long hibachi table is set up and you can watch by sitting at the bar top. And if you sit at the table, they will cook it and bring it to you. The sushi is very fresh and the chefs are great with many years of experience. Jason and yen are the sushi chefs. Can't go wrong with either guy. Good job with the place!!", "I have no complaints. First time in. We sat at the hibachi bar. Great chef. Ordered edamames for an appetizer as well as drinks from their speciality menu. For main course, we had the chicken and sirloin hibachi. Everything was amazing. The service was great too. An attentive server, never had to track her down for more water. Everyone was friendly and the hibachi cook was fun, onion volcano and all. Very impressed and they have only been open for a month. This place is a must visit.", "Exceptional! My wife and I stopped in on Saturday while car shopping and saw there was a new restaurant across the street. The weekend lunch menu for the Teppanyaki (Hibachi) meals were very reasonably priced and included a free Mirmosa. My wife had the steak and I had the combo steak and shrimp. It was portioned perfect for lunch and exceptionally tasty. Be sure to check this place out as we will be back for sure...even order a meal to go for our son.", "I love it. Friendly staff. It is the old IHOP and if you read my old review about that place you would know I was not a fan. They turned this little disaster into a gem! Great deals. Reasonable prices. Sushi was very fresh! Hibachi was awesome not your typical set up- you actually only sit with your family and friends- food is served to you rather then cooked in front of you. Mimosas are good too. Small bar.Small place but decorative and delicious.", "I stumbled across this place hoping it was the reincarnation of the Oishi that was in the Largo Mall. It isn't. \n\nThe first thing I noticed was that the prices are on the high side. As far as the food goes, my soft shell crab appetizer was bad. It was hard, overcooked and the breading masked the taste of the crab. The main course was chicken teppanyaki. I just wasn't that impressed with this dish, either. There was way too much sauce and it made the meal too heavy. \n\nThe place was clean and nicely decorated. The service was friendly. I went in at 1:30-after the main lunch crowd-and was the only one in the place. The cook, who cooks out front, seemed a little overwhelmed by a few to go orders and it took a long time to get my food-not good if you're in a hurry for lunch.\n\nIf the prices were more reasonable, I'd probably give them another chance, but there are far too many superior options, so I'll pass.", "First time visit..we had the tuna sashimi and crab Rangoon appetizers it was very delicious. The soup and salad starters were pleasing to the palette. The main course ribeye and scallops were cooked perfectly. I will definitely return." ]

[ "Blue Pacific is a Chinese \"fusion\" bistro, with a sushi bar, grill, and bar (yay for liqour!). Their menu is diverse, with Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese (Szechuan?), and Malaysian choices. They offer weekly and daily specials, which sometimes are good.\n\nTheir fried rice is very plain (fast food Chinese makes it better) - don't ever get that from here! I made that mistake twice, because I keep forgetting to consult my notes. The Mandarin beef is good.\n\nService is hit-or-miss, ranging from bad (when it was just me and a date), to okay (when I brought 20 people there for a meal). One unusually positive experience I had was at the sushi bar with a friend. Both the meal and service were outstanding. Server and sushi chef Brian made us maki rolls and threw in some extras. He was entertaining, too!\n\nBlue Pacific is not thrillingly great and is firmly middle-of-the-ground. If you're stuck at the mall and want Chinese, you can always go to the food court. If you want Japanese, sit at the sushi bar and ask for Brian - hopefully he still works there.", "Clean, Neat, Fresh, and Underwater Atmosphere.\n\nBlue Pacific Sushi Grill a convenient place to have at the mall. If you're extremely hungry, and you need wants some sushi, good place to stop by. The sushi is made right there and then in front of you. The sushi tastes great, and filling! If you are a sushi person, this is a must try place. There are many, many different kinds of sushi. Maybe 1 to 2 pages filled with different types of sushi. \n\nThe interior felt like you were underwater. From the design of the plates, to the chair, to the table, to the fans, to the ceiling, even the fish tank, and walls were like you were underwater. There were different size circulared mirrors on the wall to represent bubbles from fish's mouth. Brilliant design for a sushi restaurant!\n\nGreat to bring a group of people for lunch or dinner.", "Don't be fooled by the cliche look of the outside of this mall restaurant. The food is actually very good. Shop till you drop then indulge in some exquisite sushi. I highly recommend the duck entree, the shrimp tempura roll, or the bento box. All very very good!", "Excellent. I had a clue this place was the shizzle when I saw the Alta cockers eating and chatting up the owners. In fact the owners sat down with the few couples. Sale price specials on what else you guessed it my fave.. UNI! It doesn't get better. The sushi was tres fresh. Tuna excellent, nice and red. I am afraid to admit what i spent on just myself alone; but I didn't do sake so I saved there.. Anyway I highly recommend this place. Nice, experienced chef. Quick service, good prices and did I mention Fresh Fish and quality specials. And yes they have quail egg, shiso leaf and the other oddities the Shazz loves so much.. and it was in stock! Oy Yey!", "Here is where I had Sushi for the very first time in my life. I had mentioned to some friends that I never had sushi before and they quickly made plans for lunch. So we went to Blue Pacific. It was pretty empty when we arrived but for some reason, service took forever. We just ordered a couple of sushi platters so its not like anything actually had to be cooked. Still, the sushi was good (I loved the california rolls and other rolls the most) and the price was good as well. I would go here for sushi again but not for a regular meal. There are a couple of places in the food court that are faster, cheaper, and yummier.", "Another great find in the monstrosity known as the King of Prussia mall. This place always seems like it's empty and I can't for the life of me tell you why. The food is great. Their spicy tuna rolls (soy wrapped please) are fresh and delicious. A friend of mine swears by the bento box and I usually get this shrimp with candied walnuts and beef dish (i forget what it's called) that's really, really good. The staff is generally prompt and attentive, but I have been there on occasion where they tend to disappear for long lenghts of time. A nice alternative to the tried and true food court or the big chain restaruants. Give em' a try.", "3.5 stars\n\nThis is both a Chinese restaurant and Sushi bar in one setting. I just sat at the sushi bar and ordered sushi accordingly. Ordered the spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, and spider maki (which is the same thing as shrimp tempura, but made with crab). All three rolls were great. I also got hamachi sashimi and it wasn't the best, but it wasn't terrible either. Overall I was pleased. Good service, wine options. In fact I was surprised that they even had Uni.", "Sushi is decent but everything else is mediocre. Everything here is pretty expensive, although it is in the King of Prussia mall. If you're stuck in the mall shopping and you have a random sushi craving, then this is pretty much the only choice you have.", "Went to KOP last night with my girlfriend and wanted some non food court Chinese Food for dinner... so it was time to try The Blue Pacific. All in all a pretty darned good meal.\nI was impressed by the extensive Sushi menu (The Blue Pacific roll sounded slammin'), but I didn't think I had enough room for Sushi. I'll definitely return for some in the future though. For starters I had the Won Ton Soup, which was really good. It was different from traditional ones because the Won Ton was a Shrimp Won Ton. The Broth also had a really good salty flavor.\nWe split the Shanghai Spring Rolls, which had a spicy Citrus sauce...kinda like a zestier Duck Sauce pretty much. The presentation on those was also nice, as they came on a bed of shredded carrots. For our main course we split the Ginger Scallion Crusted Shrimp. They were phenomenal. They were breaded, but they weren't overly heavy. The Ginger rub was awesome. They also came with string beans, carrots, and rice. The sauce was mainly centered on the veggies, but I just dipped the Shrimp and it was fine. Maybe next time I'd just ask to get the Sauce right on there, but otherwise it was fantastic.\nThe Blue Pacific also had a nice ambiance, with its fish/bubble scene on the Sushi Bar wall...it was kinda Hawaiian themed....but there wasn't any Hawaiian dishes on the menu, at least that I saw. So they should try to throw something with Pineapple on there. So if you find yourself craving Asian cuisine at the KOP Mall do yourself a favor and skip the food courts!", "I'e eaten her two times. Both times the food was very good. I haven't had the sushi but they have a decent selection. The restaurant itself is ok. Nothing fancy or even remotely interesting. Just a place in the mall for good Chinese food." ]

Service is prompt and you may find yourself getting served by many different waitresses (in cute faux kimonos... fauxmonos?) but they seem generally coordinated. Service is swift and courteous, I love this place.", "First time having Sushi that wasn't from a grocery store and YUM. The Spicy Tuna sashimi was like butter. Loved the miso soup and the seaweed salad was so refreshing. I will go again and maybe try the other side of the menu, I saw another table order some Pho and it looked so good.", "This restaurant is fantastic. I've been here many times with no problems at all. I highly recommend the miso soup and the dragon eyes roll.", "I've been going here for a while since they first opened and have grown to like it more and more each time. I usually go for the sushi but last time I went I tried the pho. Sweet jesus, it was delicious, and the noodles vs meat ratio was outta control. A massive bowl of steaming beef for 8.25. A couple scoops of chili paste for some heat and it may have been one of the best bowls of pho I have ever had in my life. We ordered a roll of sushi on the side to have but we couldn't even touch it after the pho it was so filling.", "Love it!, My good friend Cory showed me this place. He owns Off Whyte Tattoos just up the street a few blocks east. I first found out when he had a solo acoustic show there one night and since has played many times. Love the \"nut so crazy and dragon eyes Rolls\" they are dynamite! Also the owner and staff are really nice. I was there when they had a staff party one night and they get pretty intense with that Karaoke hahaha", "Maki MAKI!\n\nAfter driving past this place all the time, I finally stopped in for the sushi dinner I had been craving lately. What a good decision! The rolls I ordered here mostly came with bits of tempura in them, which gave the maki a crunchy texture I wasn't used to, but liked a lot!\n\nThe staff were friendly and I loved their kimonos! The authentic style of dress, plus all of the creative Japanese-style decorations really added to the atmosphere of the restaurant.\n\nMy favourite thing was the tempura sauce. It was sweeter than most other tempura sauces I've tried, and it was amazing! I would go back just for that!", "I'm always interested in going to new restaurants, and sushi is one of my favorite foods to eat so whenever I get a chance to, I get really excited! Last night I went to Maki Maki with a friend. It was a really nice restaurant. The menu was huge, there was so much to choose from. The thing I liked most was that I could order both japanese food and vietnamese food at the same time. They also had so many more choices of maki rolls to chose from. More than most other japanese restaurants (some of which had local names like the Oilers Roll and the Eskimo Roll) which I thought was cool.\n\nThe service was awesome, our waitress kept having to come back and try to take our order a few times since we couldn't decide what we wanted. After our meal was done they split the bill for us so we knew exactly how much we needed to pay. We also stayed afterwards just chatting and didn't feel pressured to leave.\n\nI would definitely return go back to Maki Maki another time and try something else!", "Though I have been eating at Maki Maki for a few years now I feel undecided about my experience there. The food and service is good for the most part. They have an impressive array of rolls, and the fish always seems fresh. I recently discovered noodle bowl #148 on the menu and have been enjoying that.\n\nWhen Maki Maki first opened I thought they had a delightful mix of weird, which I like in an Edmonton eatery. None of the decor seemed to match and you could still see pieces of the old German resteraunt which was there previousely. If you remember the old Maki Maki lounge area it was very much pieced together with odds and ends. Kareoke, and even hippies performed folk electronic music in this lounge on some evenings which added to the vibe. Sadly, I went to Maki Maki recently to find all of the weird decor \"cleaned up\". No more late night kareoke, hippies were gone, and the walls painted a mellow yellow with no art or anything on the walls. It was a bit sad as I think the old Maki Maki seemed to match the neighbourhood a little better.\n\nAll in all I think that the portion sizes are what sets Maki apart. Expect an entire samlon on your plate when you order sashimi, and the large bowl of miso rivals the tiny cup that miso is served in other sushi joints.\n\nThere are a few rude waitresses I find, but most of them are wonderful and full of personality.\n\nGive it a try. It's open late!!! Love that.", "Maki Maki! The waiters are more Vietnamese than Japanese, dressed in Japanese kimonos. The menu is excellent with a large selection ranging from the tradition Japanese Sushi or Vietnamese Pho. I ordered the Dragon Eye Roll (delicious), and also the Alaskan Roll (okay, but over priced). My kids had #20. Com Gà Nuong, they ate it all! I think they were just hungry. And my Honey had #19. Bún Thit Nuong Cha Giò, he said it was alright, though it didn't look like the picture in the menu. Overall, a great place to eat from a day of strolling down Whyte Ave.", "Are you the one who always ruins sushi lovers' company by saying you don't like/eat sushi? Well ... Maki Maki seems to be the right solution! They serve a lot of sushi here but also have a surprisingly long list of Vietnamese and Japanese entreés of cooked food. I haven't tried those entreés, so I\"m not expert on how it is, but sure seems to be the only place with a real compromise for groups mixed with sushi and non-sushi eaters. \n\nThey have a list of regular beers and again, to my interest and youthful enthusiasm, they serve bubble tea! How cool is that? Having bubble tea and sushi? The bubble tea is a'ight. But sure is a nice change. The serving of the miso soup is really tremendous and stretches the concept of an appetizer really well. Healthy, soupey appetizer! \n\nThe sushi now, is pretty decent. Here's why I cut a star from them, though. Their sushi serving isn't particularly big. 10 pieces of sashimi cost me $18. That's completely agreeable to me if the fish was in fact really, really awesome. But given that this doesn't seem like an expensive place, I was kinda disappointed to spend $40 on a dinner and still feel a bit hungry. (miso + beer + sashimi = $40)\n\nRight across Whyte Ave, from here, is Furusato where the Bento Boxes and other special boxes start at $16. Here, on the other hand, it's around $23-$24. Of course, the quality seems to be equal at both places and at best negligibly better at Maki Maki. I want to like them a lot more, but can't really afford to! It's a nice place but I'm not sure if I'll be coming here again. I guess Furusato would have to really stoop in quality for me to consider Maki Maki instead. That is, assuming I don't want to walk 5 blocks to other sushi places ;-)" ]

The music changed from ultra pop, to country, to rock - annoying. The service was great, friendly, attentive waitress, but the place didn't have that special essence about it that would make me want to return. If you live around there, sure it's OK, but otherwise it's another local pub.", "I work in the area and I ventured in for lunch yesterday with two of my co-workers. I will admit I had checked reviews and said I didn't want to go but they talked me into trying it with them. I don't know what the evening crowd is like but the lunch crowd was mostly men in polo shirts and women in business casual attire. I would guess the lunch clientele are mostly people who work in the area like me. There were a lot of TV's mostly on ESPN and I don't recall what type of music played. Here is what's important. Service was friendly and gave us several fun anecdotes about the place when she found out we were first-timers. The food was good. The Pita Bread I received with my grilled chicken salad was far superior to some Pita I had at Detour in Carmel. My co-workers both liked their meals as well (French Dip and Tenderloin Sandwich). This is a bar and shockingly enough serves bar food. I wouldn't go there and expect it to be Oceanaire or Ruth Chris but it was definitely solid Pub Food." ]

[ "Great location for quick breakfast or lunch. Healthy and affordable options that include everything from salads, to soups, to wraps, to rice and noodle bowls. Can either order pre-customized or made-to-order items. Real good lunch and looking forward to going back and trying more things!", "\"Excuse me, sir? We don't allow photography in here. You can take it outside but not on premises.\"\n\nBeware: do not get fresh with freshii. If you take a picture of anything inside freshii the staff will sustainably, organically, jack you up. Big time. \n\nIf you're a frosh to freshness, here's a refresher on freshii's fresh take to freshening up fast food. Allow folks to construct and customize their meals based on nutritional value.\n\nYou can order by checking off items on a card. I would have uploaded a picture of the card had the freshiimen not wrestled me to the ground, confiscated my camera phone and neuralized my memory. Just kidding, that didn't happen. And if it did, I have no way of knowing. Did someone reading this see me there? Please call me. \n\nThe store's signage and layout hint at the way freshii would like its patrons to consider their health and what they eat. There's even a bathroom scale near the counter, which is neither scary nor off-putting in any way whatsoever. \n\nI ordered the spicy lemongrass soup. Despite this soup actually being noodles and other ingredients with incidental traces of broth, it was quite good and quite filling. For $7.59, you would hope so. It could be spicier but that might diminish the nutritional return. Still, a few more veggies wouldn't hurt. \n\nAll in all, nutritious food in mindful quantities at affordable prices. If only I weren't terrified of going back.", "Horrible!!!!\n\nCouple things. Went there for lunch yesterday and was greeted at the door by a staff person who had me fill out a menu form, The staff person instructed me that they were having a 2-1 special going on.\nI proceeded to fill out my form and ordered a Chicken Club Wrap.\nI had ordered extras from the unlimited toppings menu which included jack cheddar cheese, broccoli and a few other things all of which costs .25 to .50 cents more for each, so what turned out to be a 6.99 menu item cost me close to $11.00. The wrap was horrible. The entire wrap was about 80% bacon bits, very , very little chicken, a few diced tomatoes, NO sign at all of the extras I had ordered such as the broccoli and cheese. The sandwich had heart attck written all over it with all that bacon. The best part comes next, I pick up my wrap at the cashier stand and I asked where my second free one was. The cashier responded, \"Oh, you have to mention on the order sheet that you want a second one\" Hello, commonse sense alert! It'sa buy one, get one free.\nHe then asks if I would like a free one but I would have to wait.\nYeah, like I really have time to wait another 40 minutes.\nGood thing I never did wait around for the second one, cause I would have thrown it out.\nI was told that the noodles in this place were good, but I'll never go back there to give it a second try.", "Freshii gets 2 stars ONLY because they just opened and because I only tried the bowls. Had this been a well-established eatery, I would have given this ZERO stars (is that possible? okay fine maybe 1/2 star) \n\nFreshii's motto is: Fresh Food. Custom Built. Fast. \n\nIt was most definitely NOT FAST. \n\nAgain, this may be because it's a newly operating business, but damn did this place seem inefficient. First, there were at least 20 employees working, but the wait for your food was unbearably long. there were 3-4 employees whose sole purpose was to hand you clipboards and pencils to write down your order. THEN, there were no less than 2 employees who took your order and went through line by line to ensure that you had selected each component correctly. WHY?! This seems silly. What a waste of paper! \n\nOn the positive, they do give you a lot of food. On the negative, it's not exactly cheap either. Prices were in the ~$6.50-$8.99 range.\n\nALSO, the ingredients did seem fresh. I'll give it that.\n\nWarrior Chicken: brown rice + cajun chicken + sweet corn + red onions + black beans + cilantro + diced tomatoes + carrots + low fat ranch dressing\nThe foundation of this dish was fine and the ingredients were also pretty fresh, but the recommended sauce was weird. I mean, ranch rice? At any rate, I ordered it on the side and also got the Asian Sesame, but both seemed at odds with the combination of ingredients. I also tried the spicy lemongrass sauce with it as well and that also wasn't very tasty. I suspect the soy sauce might work best. \n\nUltimately, I left feeling like I ate an unsatisfying and bland meal. Which makes me ANGRY. I loathe calories consumed w/out pleasure. \n\nMy friend had:\nspicy noodle: rice noodle + grilled tofu + chopped almonds + bean sprouts + cucmbers + carrots + cilantro + spicy lemongrass sauce\nThis tasted much better than my dish, but still wasn't anything memorable or worthwhile. She did, however, ingeniously mix in the leftover Asian sesame sauce with the leftover Spicy lemongrass sauce and that made this a billion times better. \n\nBottom line, you might like this if you're someone who likes to deprive themselves of flavor because you think it's healthy and therefore how you should eat. As for me, I could MAYBE be talked into going back, but only if I had time for a long lunch and they were doing some sort of free or 1/2 off discount. AND I most definitely would not get a bowl again. I begrudgingly admit their sandwiches/wraps might be good.", "I like. I have to say this place is nothing revolutionary in terms of food, but its quick, healthy, and like the name, very fresh.\n\nI've been here 3 times- so far I've tried a regular salad (no meat or cheese), the frozen yogurt and a breakfast wrap. Nothing fancy or unique, but the food is really good. The salad came to just under $6.50 with tax and it was HUGE. \"Premium\" toppings like meat, tofu and cheese are going to cost you more, but the base salad is $5.99 and comes with unlimited topping like veggies, beans, cilantro, etc. The dressing is homemade and really good.\n\nThe yogurt is pretty expensive (I think around $6 with two complimentary toppings) but it's good. A lot lighter tasting than yogorino-I could eat it for breakfast and not feel gross.\n\nThe breakfast wrap was also good. It was half of a whole wheat tortilla with hard boiled egg, bacon, cheese and chopped tomato. It was pretty big for only $2.99 and really tasty.\n\nOverall, I would come back here. I think the salads are priced well for the area and they offer a range of toppings that other places don't. I would probably skip the yogurt and definitely choose their wraps here as opposed to something unhealthy from starbucks or dunkin donuts.\n\nAlso a plus- they take credit cards- no miniumum.", "My beau and I enjoyed a freshii lunch several days ago. The staff were friendly and very helpful, which was kind of a necessity for not only their first week but anybody's first time. There are a TON of options, and the ingredients are all fresh, the portions are all pretty generous, and the place is in general pretty nice. \n\nFood-wise, I'm a bog fan of their options for low-calorie enjoyment. I will say that one should look out for the sodium amounts in their broths and sauces, because that can do a girl in -- but no worse than anywhere else one eats out. Still, that said, they do let you pay attention to intake via their website, which builds your nutrition information as you order - a major plus. As for taste, it's what you make it, but mine was damn good for 400 calories!", "Just picked up a wrap for lunch. As soon as you walk in someone greets you and gives you a clipboard to fill out, you either look at the menu and write it down or pick from their options to make your own. I decided to make my own. This process was only slightly confusing. Under wraps you had options like brown rice, romaine, spinach, silly me I thought spinach was the kind of wrap not that spinach would go in my wrap. After checking off ingredients (premium ingredients cost extra, otherwise you can choose as many as you want without extra costs). I took it to the front and the lady proceeded to highlight what I had checked off with my mini golf pencil to make sure they got it right which really they could just get computers like wawa that you order from and save everyone time. Also, their website feeds you back the nutritional info as you build something, why not have an in-store computer system do that as well. Just have enough that people aren't waiting around to put their orders in.\n\nI was confused if i paid after I submitted my order (they gave me a carbon copy) or when I pick it up so I went to the register but nobody came over, ended up paying when I got it, but the girl was surprised I didn't pay yet. Probably took about 10 min to get my food but I was busy looking at the baked chips, kind bars, cliff bars, fruit, oatmeal, yogurt parfaits and fruit options. I settled on some baked doritos, my order was $7 and change which isn't bad for center city lunch and I was basically satisfied.\n\nThe ingredients were fresh, the wrap in my opinion is way too big i took off a lot of the wrap part so I wasn't just munching on bread with nothing to it. Turned out to be whole wheat wrap. The ingredients were large pieces, I ended up just eating out of it with a fork but it was good. I would come here again, maybe get a bowl instead. It's a fresher and healthier option close to where I work. I also don't mind waiting up to 10 min if it's custom and fresh. I'd like to try it for breakfast sometime.\n\nAlso, they gave me a card, if I get a wrap 7 times I get one free. There are other numbers on the card, i have no idea what they are for, maybe salads or bowls. They may want to be a bit more descriptive and user friendly here.", "Went here today for the first and last time. The only good thing about it was how my salad looked and the friendly staffer who walked me through ordering a salad (who know it was so hard?!). Anyways, I went with the create your own salad, I won't bore you with the details but it came to $15, I was expecting caviar and crab meat for that price. One of the ingredients I ordered, avocado, was an extra cost item. When I got my food I noticed it wasn't on there. I mentioned it to the \"chef\" behind the counter and he said that the avocados were hard and they weren't serving them...\n\nOk, I'm glad they wouldn't serve produce that wasn't ripe, but I paid extra for it so I'd like my money back for the extra charge. He offered to add extra stuff to the salad like corn, beans, tomatoes, etc. which are actually free items so I declined and asked for my money back for the cost of the avocado addition. These people work within 3 feet of each other you would think the \"chef\" would say \"hey, if someone orders avocado, tell them they aren't ripe and don't charge them extra for it\".\n\nThe salad was good, but for $15 I expected it to be. My friend went with me and she got the Poppy seed dressing, which we believe contained mayo and poppy seeds. Quite the flavor depth. Wouldn't go again.", "Been here twice. First time I had a vegan wrap and it just didn't have much going on. I was annoyed that when I asked for a cup of water they had no way of giving it to me so I was forced to buy a $2 bottle of water. The thing that annoyed me the most was the way they informed me that it wasn't possible. It was as though I was crazy for asking. \n\nThe second time I got the soho salad. The green apples tasted as though they had been soaked in lemon juice and the poppyseed dressing just wasn't very appetizing. The one good thing was that the bacon, spinach, and goat cheese were fresh. \n\nAll in all I spent $11 on a average salad and small bottle of water. Booooo. I'm sad because I'd really like a place like this to work. Next time I'm going to Saladworks or Peace A Pizza. At least I'll get a free piece of bread.", "Okay haters... knock it off! Freshii is fantastic and until Philadelphia gets some real competition around here, this is the place to go for truly healthy lunch options that are fast, reasonably priced and really tasty. Seriously, what else is out there salad works? cosi? corner bakery? Their healthy stuff stinks and isn't even good for you. Freshii is so much better and their food is actually healthy compared to the other places who claim to have \"Lighter\" options and their food is still loaded in fat, calories and carbs. Freshii has a ton of good veggie, protein and dressing options. \n\nYes, it is a little pricey, but so are all good veggies and fresh food. Go get a salad at Wendy's if you aren't happy or eat a wrap from a cart next to City Hall. You get what you pay for and if healthy eating is important to you than its totally worth it. \n\nThe Rejuvinate Rice Bowl is awesome! Cucumber Dill and Asian Sesame dressings are great on everything. I am eating a salad now with mushrooms, egg whites, roasted red peppers, edamame, cucumbers, feta and grilled chicken. Its delicious even without dressing.\n\nOnce again, this place is finally doing what this city needs.... And BTW, weren't we once called the fatest city in America? I'm just sayin..." ]

Don't miss the chorizo biscuits or the shakshouka. Amazing happy hour as well.", "The cutest little cafe/bar in the Bywater! Chanced upon this place on accident, and glad we did. Nicest possible staff with an impeccable bar aesthetic. Definitely a part of the gentrification wave, but most so are a lot of other places in the area. Can't complain about it. \n\nCoffee? Excellent. Amazing, even. Kept me coming back. Had the Paloma and it wasn't my favorite, but everyone has their own style y'know? Someone at the bar mentioned something about chorizo... I'll have to return for the food and do a review update!", "Paloma Cafe is the spot!!! We were suggested by friends to check it out and it exceeded our expectations. We loved the laidback, clean & cozy atmosphere and their Sunday brunch was out of this world! We got the French toast with fried chicken and the avocado toast and both were extremely fresh & flavorful. Very fair price for the quality and quantity. A Bywater must!", "Only went for happy hour/ a shared entree but it was a bit underwhelming so far. It is a nice environment, I like what they did with it. Good service, our waitress was overall lovely and attentive, so 5 stars there. \n\nDrinks were good, decently priced craft cocktails but after the first one we all decided to just drink tecate. No one was blown away. I'd try again with them since I know they are all new, but not a new go-to happy hour so far.\n\nFood was sadly a bit disappointing. The yucca fries with aioli were quite bland and a very small portion. Same with the cod fritters, not bad but not what we were hoping for. My friend doesn't eat most meat so there weren't a ton of options. We shared the curry which was good but not enough to make us want to try anything else at the moment. \n\n I'm hoping they change up the menu a bit, I'm going to wait a while then try again. It seems like maybe they are catering to an earlier crowd but I'm not sure how that's going to work out for them. The previous places there seemed to mostly do well with their good happy hours for people who live in the neighborhood - there's not a whole lot of options now. Hope they succeed.", "Pleasant place. Superb service for Saturday lunch. Really good coffee. The torta is delicious. Cod fritters were tasty but a bit diminutive (and therefore pricey). An exotic green tomato cocktail might prove to be habit-forming (and it packs a wallop). Definitely worth returning to.", "We were staying two blocks from Paloma and basically went there everyday for coffee and breakfast. The coffee was terrific (that's not typical of New Orleans) and the food was great tasting and fresh (breakfast tacos, avocado toast, yogurt and granola). The prices were almost half of what we're used to in the Bay Area.", "The only reason this gets a 4 rather than a 5 is because the lattes, though excellent, we're seriously overpriced. The breakfast tacos were scrumptious and very reasonably priced - 3 for $7 - a latte was close to the same price. Way too much for a small cup of joy.", "Great breakfast with a friendly local atmosphere. Chipotle bloody Mary was excellent as well as the breakfast tacos. Staff was friendly and accommodating" ]

[ "Officially opening day! Finally! We love Dewey's pizza and are so happy that we don't have to drive 45 minutes for good pie! Came in for lunch and the place is packed... with staff that is. Zero wait, very nice beer selection and friendly staff. Lots of room, second biggest location I've seen to date and a nice atmosphere. The true test is how did they get my Porky Fig done? Nailed it!!! OMG IT WAS EXCELLENT! I've had many local pies, and while many of then are very good, none of then are Dewey's!", "Pizza isn't bad from an Ohio food chain, the crust is superb. I don't know what the fascination is with Gorgonzola, it's definitely overdone. The staff definitely seemed rushed and the one goof was telling the ladies to scoop up plates as soon as people were finished which is rude to the person still eating. The one girl running around with the butch haircut was pretty pissy. Would say thank you and she'd storm off. I don't know if she has a thing against men or what, but she needs concierge training or needs to find a different line of work. The tall guy with the goofy laugh, ran and bumped into me like he was making an urgent dash for the lavatory. Could've said,\"excuse me\" but eh. Place is definitely better than any IMO's or Chicago Pizza around and at least they don't offer those hog nut baked ravioli. \n\nWe'll try the different flavors next time.", "We all loved it!!!\n\n Starting with the invitation from Stephanie to our greeting at the door our anticipation was high to enjoy Dewey's soft opening to try before they open next week. We are a large party of 8 and Stephanie assured us they'd have room for us all, they did.\n\n There were handy placards on the table letting us know that pizza, calzones, salad, and drinks were complimentary. The attention to our party and everyone else's in the establishment was second to none, we were well attended too. It took us a while to order due to being unfamiliar with the menu which was clear and easy to understand, we just couldn't decide. The atmosphere was pleasant and friendly, my younger children enjoyed interacting with the cook staff as they were making pizzas and calzones behind a large glass window. It was busy, but the staff made you feel that you weren't going to be forgotten and you never had to ask for a refill on your drinks.\n\n Kylie and Mariah were our servers and Justin the general manager were all close by to help with any questions or needs. There were small questionnaires for us to answer and a couple of questions to ask our server which she answered perfectly, we understand that this is Kylie's first serving job, you can't tell! You have a star in her!\n\n As you can tell we have plenty of leftovers, and we are stuffed to the gills! Lunch tomorrow!\n\n Of course we all love free pizza, and it wouldn't be hard to win over the public with a great occasion like this. They went above and beyond to earn our return business and they have it. Thank you Dewey's Pizza, we'll be back soon!", "THANK YOU for opening a Dewey's on the Illinois side! I'm so happy I don't have to drive into Missouri to have one of my favorite pizzas. I was a little apprehensive because I wasn't sure it would taste the same as the one in St. Charles. It was just as good as I remember it being! It was extremely busy (came in at 5pm on Friday. Service was awesome and quick. I love that the managers were working just as hard as the server/runner staff. I had the Green Lantern gluten free pizza and the hubby had the Edgar Allen Poe (minus the olives, added meatballs). My GF pizza was so delicious! The crust was flavorful just as I remember it. I caved and had the goat cheese (my FAV) and mozzarella stay on the pizza. I enjoyed every single bite of it. I can't wait to come back!", "Been going to Dewey's over in St. Louis for years and am super excited to now have one in O'Fallon! My family went there this past Friday. Even though they've been open less than a week, we received the same quality service and food that we do at the other locations! The specialty pizzas are superb, love the Green Lantern! The Harvest salad is one of the best salads I've ever had, always look forward to that seasonal favorite! Our server was friendly and courteous, as was the rest of the staff who served our food. We will be back soon!", "My father and I stopped at this brand new Dewey's Pizza in Shiloh, IL on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving for lunch. They were BUSY! We ended up waiting about 5 minutes and grabbing two seats at the bar. We weren't looking to dine leisurely so we ordered one large Porky Fig Pizza (A Fig Jam Base, Mozzarella, Fontina, Prosciutto, Caramelized Red Onions, Gorgonzola Cheese) to share. Turns out a large pizza is 17 inches. We only ate about half between the two of us. It was delicious! It had the sweet fig jam, the pungent gorgonzola cheese, and the savory Prosciutto all working together. I'd order this again and again. This location is very new and things were a little hectic but seemed to be working pretty swiftly. To the previous reviewer who called out one of the workers' sexuality all I can say is wow, that's klassy with a \"k.\" We enjoyed our lunch, there's not a lot of pizza places in this area that are good, and we'll certainly return.", "Great pizza great service, Mens restroom has a baby changing station.

I went for dinner with my husband and parents on a Tuesday night and we had a great experience. Little wait time, nice atmosphere, super friendly service and awesome pizza. They do things a little differently- you don't have one specific server, they all share the tables in the dining area. This sounds like a disaster, but everything went very smoothly! They also have a solid local beer selection. My favorite thing about this place is that you can do half and half pizzas! So for my fellow indecisive people, this is a beautiful thing! My favorites are the Doctor Dre & Porky Fig.", "The service was great! We never needed a drink. Our plates were always cleared as soon as we were done.

[ "My husband had mention to me one or twice he would like to try this place whenever we would pass by.I have never had German food and thought it would be something new to try. \n\nThe outside looks very inviting, but once you get inside its a little weird. The decor looks old and its actually a really large place. We were a little confused on how to be seated because you walk in and there is a podium so we waited, then later found out that you walk more in and take a right and there is a \"seat yourself\" sign. Tables set up all over more for big groups. But a couple near the front that are for smaller groups.\n\nThe food, service, was great. Very nice German woman waited on us and commented on our eating habits and make silly talk with us. Like how she was on a lot of pain meds and was feeling good. There were other traditional German food, but I was hesitant on ordering and just stuck with a pork roast with potatoes. Next time I think I will venture out and order something I can't make at home. My husband ordered weinersnitchel and potatoes which was very good. \n\nBut why this place for me gets 4 stars is the bakery. You have to pay your bill in the bakery and ohhhh there is a good reason why they make you do that. They have some pastries to choose from if you would like and yummmmmmy. I got a couple of things all of it was great. I can not remember the names of these pastries, all I know they were sooo good. I am going back only to get more sweets!", "Ok, so I came here because I saw these reviews and they were relatively decent so I was pretty excited. For the most part, I like bakeries and most bakeries in restaurants that are rated fairly well also are pretty good.\n\nSelection wise, no complaints. This bakery has just about everything you can possibly think of, their pastries are good (not great) and you can get them in large quantities. That said, seriously they should put some name tags and price tags on their pastries so at least you know what it's called and how much it'll cost you.\n\nI did manage to find a gem though. There was a pecan cluster on something which looked very similar to baklava that I got. It was quite possibly the most delicious baklava type pastry I have EVER encountered and I am a HUGE baklava fan! I would only go back for those pecan clusters :) and buy out the store ... haha", "Bavarian World is located in a plain building, in a not-so-hot-so neighborhood on 6th and Valley Road. But don't let this book's cover deceive you. Bavarian World is the real deal.\n\nIt's owned by Klaus. He is German through and through. He and his restaurant have been here for at least 30 years. Have you ever had the fantastic, seeded flat bread at Harrah's steakhouse? It's baked here. Have you been lucky enough to have a sandwich on a pretzel roll? That's baked here too. You can buy both here.\n\nThe bakery accounts for the lion's share of the business, but the restaurant is fine and it is authentic.\n\nThe interior doesn't look like much because the decor was outdated 30 years ago. It's cheap, dark, and brown, with picnic table cloths - but this is actually part of its charm. Few tables are occupied, and if you come toward the end of the lunch or dinner hour, you practically have the place to yourself.\n\nThe seating is plain wooden chairs at standard cheap restaurant tables. But the food is divine. Try any sausage item, make sure you get it with the hot potato salad and fried cabbage. As they say in Germany - It's Vonderbar! Pork is also a German specialty. Try any pork item on the menu. Get it with applesauce. Or try German Potato pancakes with sour cream and apple sauce. Fantastic!\n\nRather than buy desert, when you go into the bakery pick up an Apple Strudel. This probably isn't the apple strudel you are accustomed to. Authentic German apple strudel doesn't have much pastry and isn't too sweet. There are raisins in the filling. It's very good.\n\nOne caution. Only buy items baked fresh that day. Some items were baked 1-3 days ago and are frozen. No thanks! I want mine fresh or not at all. I command you: Do Not leave here without at least a half dozen pretzel rolls. These are the bomb! Great for sandwiches or plain with butter.\n\nThe bakery is also a German grocery store. You can get real gummy German gummy bears -- the land where they were originally created. These are much better than the Americanized version. \n\nTry the meat case where you can purchase authentic Black Forest ham, Proscuitto, Liverwurst and other unusual meats.\n\nNote: Next to the restaurant there's a humongous, unused room with a bar. This is where they hold Oktoberfest. You can also book it for parties. It also happens to be the nicest room in the place, but you don't get to eat there which I feel is a terrible mistake. This cracks me up and is the main reason I have only given the restaurant 4 stars instead of five.", "It's not in a neighborhood I'd typically be in or even passing through, (which is probably why it's taken me more than 10yrs to try them). I'm delighted that I finally decided to try them. \n\nThe building is quite large with several dining rooms. As you enter the dining room is to your left and a grocery/bakery to your right. At the time I went there was a sign to seat yourself and a friendly waitress arrives shortly to greet you and bring you a menu. The room has several well placed tables with vintagey blue vinyl and cotton tablecloths. The room has dark wood paneled walls that are very retro looking. The whole interior reminds me of the 60's/70's, in a shabby but charming way. They have a Bayern Style pub in the back and a cheesy but wonderful \"alpine\" room with a dancefloor! (I would have so much fun going to a wedding reception here. so cheesy but great).\n\nI ordered potato pancakes($7.95) and a side of garlic sausage($3.95). I didn't realize how large the portion would be and was embarrassed when the waitress brought out a huge platter of potato pancakes. There were 8 or 9 little fried cakes surrounding a cup of applesauce (did not like that it was a little single service plastic cup like Mott's. homemade would be nice, or at least a ceramic cup so I can pretend it's homemade). The pancakes were not the kartofelpuffer I'd had in Germany, but more traditional latke style with a semi chewy texture and seasoned with some herbs. They were very good though, crispy around the edges and savory and dense. The garlic sausage was scored and pan grilled, served with grainy mustard. It was juicy and great, not very strong garlic flavor though. The meal also came with two brotchen (dinner rolls) and butter and jam packets. Not cheap, but super hearty. It would be nice if they had a platter with a couple potato pancakes and a sausage for around $7-8. I ended up taking 6 of the pancakes home.\n\nThe bakery is where the cashier is, and it has some great temptations. They have a very good selection of sausages and deli meats. some prepared salads (potato, green bean, red cabbage), some sliced cakes, cookies, strudels, danishes, and what looked like Bienenstich (a great almond honey and custard cake. bee sting cake!) I had to get a couple pretzel rolls (very good and authentic!) and a couple sausages to go. (I got chicken cherry and a garlic sausage). They stock a wide assortment of German and Austrian goods. cheeses, spreads, pickles, tinned and jarred fish, seasonings, liquors etc. Everything is marked up quite a bit, but I imagine it is reasonable for those who really crave some authentic goods. They even have magazines and knickknacks. A fun store.", "Location is in a semi-sketchy area in Reno, and doesn't look very clean at first sight.\n\nInside it is actually split into two separate areas - on the right is the bakery with packaged goods for sale, many imported items (candy, magazines, etc... all in German of course). On the left is the restaurant, with traditional dining setup. They need to kill the annoying beep system that lets them know a customer has walked in, or at least switch to a new one. Jeez.\n\nMenu is authentic German with MANY choices, perhaps too many. Broad selection of German beers are available. Service is good. \n\nGerman speakers in the restaurant, as expected, and a nice assortment of German cars on the day that I visited. This must be the place!", "Every now and then you go to a business and realize that you've just walked into a place that is someone's life. That's the feeling you get at Bavarian World. The place never ends--\n\n1. The restaurant. The lunch menu has lots of sausages and good hearty fare. The dinner menu is completely different. At dinnertime, you have to try the rouladen, which is a steak rolled around cabbage & pickle and covered with gravy. Lunch seating is usually in the front dining room. At dinner, they usually open the rear dining room, which wraps around a dance floor flanked with artificial trees reaching to the ceiling.\n\n2. The bakery. Delicious cookies. Nut corners, florentines, and raspberry filled ones are the best. Great breads and pretzel rolls as well.\n\n3. The deli. They've got a selection of meats I need to investigate.\n\n4. The gift shop. There's a selection of European imports that usually expands around Christmas time, and its fun to explore.\n\n5. There's even a little bar in the back that few people know about.\n\nYes, the place is a little strange; a world unto itself. But it's worth it for some great food and a completely different experience.", "First time at Bavarian World tonight. Very solid and delicious German food. Crazy German lady who is wonderfully nice. Everything we had was delicious, and we'll definitely be coming back.\n\nThe restaurant also shares space with a big bakery and store, which I will definitely have to explore.\n\nOnly downside is that they close relatively early for Reno, at 8:30pm -- nonetheless, when we showed up at 7:45 they were more than happy to serve us and take their time doing it.", "So here is the deal. I am writing this review to share an unfortunate experience. I believe this place has really good German food, our group just caught them on a REALLY bad night that they had not properly prepared for. \n\nWe went to Bavarian World for their annual October fest (Saturday October 3, 2009 this year). We were very very disappointed. We made reservations in several days in advance, on the recommendation of the staff. When we arrived the staff seemed COMPLETELY overwhelmed. We were delayed in being seated even though we had reservations. \n\nAfter being seated we sat at our table for nearly an hour before the server took our order. Drinks were not served in a timely manner, and we ultimately began getting beer from the bar ourselves, that is until they ran out of beer, before 7PM at their special October fest. \n\nAfter ordering, it was another 40 min wait for our food which was cold and not very well prepared. I think they underestimated what they would need on this night by a long shot. \n\nI understand this is a great place on a slow night for lunch or dinner and I plan on returning to try their traditional German fare when they are not hosting a special event. Hopefully I will be able to give them a glowing review after a better experience.", "This was a poor experience. While there were only four tables occupied the entire night, it took nearly one hour to get our main dishes. The soup that was served was not hot and the vegetables therein were reminiscent of those in a can of Chunky soup--the perfectly cut squares carrots as one instance. We got the 'wurst festival.' A number of cooked sausages that tasted nothing unlike those you would find in a grocery store. The sides were uninspired, including potato pancakes, some cooked potatoes that had a metallic taste to them, some sauerkraut that was the source of later indigestion, and some red cabbage. We asked for a side of applesauce, 'That'll be 50 cents extra.'When it came out, it was served in the original plastic cup, nicely marked on the side with the expiration date. Is it just me or does authenticity suggest that they could transfer the plastic grocery-bought cup into a bowl? I haven't addressed the decor: the men's room features an entire missing ceiling panel and a giant hole with exposed pipes, switches and other sundry. Above our table was a chunk of missing ceiling. The entire place bespeaks of some sad carnivalesque experience. Walking towards the restrooms I noted feeling an overwhelming sense of dread, similar to a situation that Sartre described in one of his books. I think the place seats 297, but they were well short of this tonight. The scale of the place, and the fact that it was practically empty, added to the overall lack of ambiance. It was, to a person, the wurst!", "The decor is amazing! If you want to step back in time, come here. You are transported to an abandoned dance hall in the 1970s. Many items reminiscent of a quaint grandmother's home. The food is interesting. The sausages and mustard is a good appetizer to share. The potato soup is wonderful and the side salads are quite nice with a vinegar dressing and shredded beets. \n\nI am not very familiar with German food, but mostly I find most of their dishes to be too dense for me to enjoy much. But it is quite authentic.\n \nThere is a vegetarian entree choice, though I don't believe it is vegan.\n\nThe best features are of course the atmosphere and the staff. Stop by the shop and buy some pickles, chocolate, baked goods, wine. The women's restroom has delightfully strange wallpaper and is surely haunted. I am told that the men's restroom is not very interesting in comparison. Sorry, bros." ]

[ "Either new ownership or change of name so not to be associated with the franchise Pho Hoa.\n\nThis is my FAVORITE location for pho, I also like Pho Ha too by 6th street, but this place has a lot more variety of food choices. I come here because I especially like their crab and seafood spring rolls. Nothing crazy special just stuffed with, think of dim sum shrimp/crab balls with the tangy spicy sweet and sour sauce that they probably purchase from the supermarket in the bottles lol. still love it.\n\nThe place looks a lot cleaner than other pho places that I've been to so that's a plus for my somewhat frequent visits. Especially once winter hits, I'll probably be here more often. Inexpensive and filling, just the way I like it :)", "Pho Hoa without the Hoa, add a Ta! Different name, same location, same management, same food. Updated menus.", "Same owners, new name. Amazing pho, the food is nice and fresh, and for 7 bucks you can eat like a king. Hell for 7 bucks u could feed 2 people (i can never finish a bowl of pho solo). Amazing place, and a new fav of mine especially as the weather cools down.", "Same management, new name. Food is always good usually get their pork chop dish and love the Summer rolls. But when it comes to Pho, I prefer going to \"Pho 75\"", "My favorite dishes so far here:pork chop with broken rice, banh xeo, pho tai (beef noodle soup) with the rare steak on the side, Vietnamese coffee, pho ap chao... Will come back and try other dishes as well.", "This used to be Pho Hoa, now a new name. Not sure if it's new ownership or not, but it is and has always been my favorite Pho spot in Philly. After spending a lot of time in Vietnam, I gotta say this place makes the most authentic flavorful broth that I've tasted. Everything I've had has been amazing. Always full of Vietnamese families, so you know it's good.", "This is my go-to place if I want good Viet food. Never disappointing. Good variety. Always fast service, and delicious food--what more can you ask for?", "My favorite Pho in Philly. I was worried when it changed names from Pho Hoa to Pho Ta but if anything it has gotten better.\n\nIf you've never had Vietnamese this is a great place to try it. I go once a week. Be careful, you'll be addicted to spending $6 for a huge delicious meal.", "So, I guess they just changed the name of the restaurant, but the service has changed as well. I would go into Pho Hao and no one would ever refill waters or ask how you're doing, and now the service is much better! Still have to seek out a server if you need something wrapped to go, but that's better than... being thirsty. \n\nTheir food is fantastic! I'm a vegetarian, so I do not eat the pho, but I have tried many other things on the menu. I do have to say, the best part of this is the appetizer, SUMMER ROLLS! Sometimes I even go and just get two orders....", "Pho Ta isn't bad. I got the beef curry pho, which is a different choice for me, but nothing else was really screaming delicious at me. Perhaps it's the overwhelmingly large menu? My friend got the pork pho with yummy greens and I wish I'd gotten that instead. \n\nWe also got a couple summer rolls, one with shrimp (just okay) and one BBQ Pork roll (excellent). \n\nOverall, not a bad place. Service was good and all, but I've experienced better. \n\nSpecial Note: Parking is a real PIA in this area, so I would walk or avoid high-traffic times." ]

[ "After much anticipation, watching the progress as world of beer international was built from the ground up, I'm so glad World of beer International is finally open to the public! Wob international is located off spruce a block away from international mall across the street We watched the heated Monday night match up of the Bucs versus Panthers. It was right down to 3 seconds but the Bucs won with a field goal. We had the draft of the month, the lightning bolt, which is a blonde ale by 81 Bay brewing locally made in Tampa off Gandy! It's nice to see that world of beer is supporting local breweries. Wob International has a cool infusion tower with jalapeños and citrus that changes daily and a daily real cask ale. This world of beer does have a full liquor and wine bar unlike South Tampa. However, Wob hides all the liquors from plain site and only showcase the premium whiskies. There is a huge selection of locally made Tampa Bay brews at this location from copper tail, motor works, cigar city, sea dog, cycle brewery, hoffbrauhaus, 81 Bay and pair o dice. World of beer has a cool rooftop balcony with comfortable couches, 2 fire pits, and another upstairs bar. Happy Hour runs 3-7 and 10 til close Monday through Friday and includes $3 drafts, and $5 Tavern bites which include beef Barbacoa street Tacos, chimichurri, Chipotle BBQ chicken Flatbread pizza, Tavern taters, and Southern fried pickles. Infused beer shots are only $1! The current flavor was lime and cherry IPA and wasn't bad but not my favorite either. For lunch on the weekdays 11AM-3PM, Wob international offers 2 meals for $8 which is a great deal! On Mondays, wob has a $5 brats and burger night. On Fridays and Saturdays they're open til 2AM and but only open til 12 during the weekdays. Wob international has different colored wood plank walls, exposed ac ducts, brick walls, high ceilings, rustic hanging Edison bulbs, and a cool dark brown and black rustic multi textured bar. Wob plays a mix of music ranging from old school punk rock like welcome to paradise by green day and thriller by Michael Jackson at a medium volume which wasn't too loud or too soft. The parking lot is a bit small on the ground floor due to other businesses next door but there is additional parking available designated for wob on the second floor of the parking a garage next door. Staff was very nice and attentive. I look forward to my next visit to try some of the bar bites!", "Hi Mark,\n\nWe visited on opening night and then again Sunday Afternoon. :)\n\nThis is World of Beer's 'Flagship' location. The outside patio is two stories and is sure to become very popular as the weather cools. He downstairs patio has plenty of shade and tv's and the upstairs will allow for great airport views while catching some sun during the day. \n\nInside the long bar has lots of seats and other seating consists of high-tops, booth-type seats and some larger group tables. Lots of tv's for the game and music to set the mood. Weekends will have live music after 9pm. \n\nThe beer list is huge and the loyalty program is a must. Every bartender and server we encountered over the two days were friendly, helpful and just great. \n\nThe food menu is larger than you'd think with everything from salads to pure comfort food. Here are some elevated main dishes that rival any in The area too. The Wiener schnitzel was AMAZING and will be on our list to order again. The sharable sausage and cheeseboard is also a great way to munch and enjoy your beer. He chimey burger was huge and one is worth the trip here alone. The pretzel bread pudding was a master piece and so addictive. \n\nWe are really impressed on how well the staff worked together and in no way did we ever see signs of it being their first weekend open. This will definitely be our new neighborhood hang out. Especially for happy hour.", "The latest option in the bar and restaurant explosion around International and Westshore malls near the airport is this World of Beer, although it is much further west and isolated than any of the other existing spots.\n\nBut, hey, at least WOB actually had a plan and got it open, unlike whatever the hell Lucky Dill/LBC is doing with the old Boizao spot for what seems like the last decade.\n\nI've been in about five WOBs across Tampa and Orlando prior to this one and find this location to be nicer than all of them. \n\nUnlike most other stores, there's actually room to breathe in here and the multi-level outdoor patio areas are a very nice touch with various seating options that were well conceived.\n\nThe beer selection is as massive as advertised and the tablets offered to let you scroll through the choices work really well.\n\nNow, let me tell you about how this first visit to WOB furthers a conspiracy theory my friends and I now have about some bars and a pattern of behavior by employees working behind the bar itself.\n\nThere were at least six or maybe seven different employees that were behind the bar at various times during my visit. A couple of them interacted with me more than others and I received plenty of attention throughout my visit UNTIL I was clearly ready to pay the check.\n\nAs my beer was approaching empty, I had at least three employees ask me if I wanted another. I kindly said no to all three and said I would take my check. When my check was produced, I placed cash across the check and put it on the edge of the bar closest to the employees while finishing my beer. \n\nFor at least 10 minutes, I watched all these same employees who paid plenty of attention to me earlier just walk by, not make eye contact or grab the check and payment.\n\nMy friends and I have noticed this recently in other similar places and our theory is this:\n\nEmployees ignore you at this point in the hopes you change your mind and decide to order something else.\n\nThat's not right. And, if we're correct, they need to stop doing this.\n\nCustomers shouldn't have to wait an exorbitant amount of time or put forth significant effort to pay their bill. When we say we don't want to have another, don't ignore us...bring the bill and look for prompt payment. You'll get it, as we clearly are ready to go. \n\nWe came, we drank, we're want to leave when we choose...not when you want us to leave.\n\nAgain, this WOB is not the only place we noticed this trend. However, we decided it was time to say something about it after this latest experience.", "Awesome service and bar! If you are in Tampa airport make the trip here to enjoy a fantastic menu and beers galore.", "Great bar with huge space to watch a game. They can definitely accommodate a large group. Perfect location right off of Veterans Highway. Nicest World of Beer I have ever been to. The shrimp tacos were delicious. Wonderful place for happy hour or to kick back on the weekend.", "First time to come check out the new world of beer. Great service and environment. I can't wait to come back to try it again. Really enjoyed the happy hour specials and tacos they had. They were all so good! Can't beat a $4 beer. Chris m was great! Very knowledge and great guy!", "Great atmosphere and full bar. Awesome two story hangout spot with friends and cornhole!", "Great two story bar with a full liquor menu! Awesome to watch a game or hang out with friends. Highly recommended.", "In town from Virginia for a football game and passed this place on our way to the hotel - HAD to stop because of the name and it looked like a fun, new place to try. Scoped out the menu before we arrived. Food was good (wings weren't as hot as we wanted, but tater tot nachos were AMAZING!). We actually learned the kitchen may have forgotten to put sauce in our wings which may have contributed to our disappointment. We were too hungry to realize it I guess! Just thought they were weak. \n\nMy husband had a flight of beers and really enjoyed each of them. The variety was great too! I loved the mixed draught choices. Wish we could come back and try more of their food. Their staff was awesome too (our server Jasmine and the manager Jason). Very helpful, friendly, and personable.\n\nAtmosphere is great too!", "After a lunch visit, I must rate 5 stars based on service, food, design, pricing, beer and overall atmosphere. \n\nThe lunch specials are a deal, you have $7.95 and $8.95 \"Pick Two\" options. I chose the Black & Blue Flatbread and apple/kale coleslaw, both tasty accompanied with a Samuel Adams Octoberfest malt beer. The cheeseburger that the servers kept delivering to other tables will be my order on next visit. With former Outback COO now the president of WOB and other former Outback execs involved, you know the menu will be kicked up a big notch. \n\nThere are 100's of beers available. Search via an iPad provided to your table to find what you like. Beers on the paper menu provided are listed by category - light,wheat,hop, malt, dark, Belgian, light, etc., to help direct you to your tastes. \n\nThe loyalty club for $15 gets you a t-shirt. Then after you try 50 different beers, you get a free t-shirt, then to 100, 150, etc. At some point you earn a large store credit. \n\nSeating is inside or outdoor patio on 1st & 2nd floor. Two Fire pits and separate bar are on the 2nd floor. \n\nLooks like parking could be tricky times due to proximity to other retail and the 4 or 5 adjacent hotels." ]

[ "The BEST mexican food in town. Steak tacos are awesome!!! The best salsa verde ever... Just so you know I am mexican and I really love it :D", "The best Sangria and salsa in town! I'd bring a tub home with me but it's preservative-free. Made fresh daily and HOT! Well, you have to specifically ask for the hot salsa or else they will only bring you the mild. Only thing missing is some outdoor seating.", "No bueno. Three of us decided to give this little place a whirl after a relaxing beach day. I decided to go with just simple tacos, which were gringo style(lettuce, tomato, and cheese), something I normally don't do unless I am hitting taco bell up but I went for it. They were dry and flavorless. The chicken was just terrible. I've had more moist beef jerky, and it was big chunks making eating the tacos very awkward, which I wouldn't care if they tasted good. The beef tacos weren't even as good as previously mentioned taco bell's, and we all know that they are more fast service/ cheap food than any Mexican joint would bill itself as. The black beans were ok, again lacking any real flavor, and the rice at least wasn't bad.\n\nThe only good thing there was the salsa, which was admittedly very good, saving them from a dreaded one star. The service was about as bad as it can get too, there were two tables(including is walking in) and it still took over 5 minutes to get a drink order taken, and longer for chips and salsa. I am normally willing to give places a second try, but there really were no saving graces to get me to want to go back.", "Carmelita's\nWe arrived late in the evening around 8pm and the place only had one other table sat. We utilized a Living Social Coupon and we were served by Danny whom I found to be charming, knowledgeable and relatively efficient.\nWe were brought the traditional chips and salsa fare. The chips seemed fresh but were not warm. The salsa was wonderfully thick and chunky but lacked the sweet tang of fresh basil. The side of Verde we ordered was strangely cold and lacked all flavor but was hot as hell with peppers and inedible.\nI ordered 2 steak and 1 chicken taco at the advice of our server and found that the chicken was horrible and I quickly traded it out for another steak one which had by far the best tasting steak I have ever eaten in a taco. The steak was served medium rare with great flavor. The side plate of toppings seemed fresh but needed a slightly larger portion size of sour and guacamole. The lettuce was crisp and abundant. The refried beans were served warm with a smokey flavor that made them unique and just the right amount of shredded cheese.\nI washed it all down with a pitcher of Dos Equis which was a great deal for a 60oz pitcher.\nThe steak and the low cost of the beer caused me to give this so so place an extra star. All and all not a bad meal and with just a bit of care could be an excellent meal.", "We have been going to Carmelitas since 1993 or so. The food and the service are first rate.\n\nThe sangria was great. The Chicken Enchiladas were awesome.\n\nHighly Recommend.....", "I have been coming to Carmelita's for good Mexican food for as long as I can remember. I love, love, love Carmelita's. I've only ever gotten their enchilada's - because they are so delicious! I just can't get past them! The sauces are always so tasty and the chicken is tender and flavorful. I also appreciate that they still provide free chips and salsa. This past visit we were using a living social deal, but we come here without one as well. They run pretty good specials throughout the week and that helps too. I think this is the best Mexican restaurant in St Pete.", "That was the worse restaurant experience I have ever had. There was a quarter inch of grease on top of my microwaved chili that was cold and disgusting. Everything on the table looked Luke it was microwaved back from oblivion and covered in a disgusting sauce. Send Ramsey in this place is a kitchen nightmare.", "Yelp has given me a badge informing that I eat too much Mexican food. It also states that apparently burritos are not a food group. \n\nDespite Yelp's clear attempt at an intervention, I still checked out Carmelita's. \n\nVery, very good! The plates are heaping, and the dishes are insanely filling. EVERYTHING was on point. \n\nAnd added to this, their frozen margaritas and sangria are muy bueno. \n\nMy only complaint is the location. This joint is very easy to pass up because it doesn't stand out.", "Located in plaza so keep your eyes open so you don't pass it.\n\nCaramelita's is one of the best local Mexican places!\n\nThe inside has a standard restaurant feel. It's not updated, but it doesn't matter because it's all about the food.\n\nThey offer homemade chips and salsa, which are addicting and can fill you up. I try to limit myself, but I always indulge especially when I have the white Queso dip. The dip is super creamy, which equals yummy!\n\nI go for dinner and order a burrito every time. Depending on how I'm feeling I'll either get the Del Rey chicken burrito or a veggie burrito, both are huge and delicious. With the burrito I get black beans and rice. The rice is not yellow rice and that's a good thing. Again, delicious! I always make it into two meals, which makes the price right.\n\nMargaritas and Sangria always refreshing.\n\nThe service is good too. \n\nIf you haven't tried, go now!", "Very delicious and authentic Mexican food- actually run by Mexicans (which doesn't always seem to be the case down here). The complimentary chips and salsa are good, the service was fine, the entrees are reasonably prices and huge- they definitely fill you up and are amazing! Definitely coming back." ]

If you've got someone who doesn't eat Mediterranean, try the veal. Try Byblos again and again.", "Simply put: Amazing. After every meal, I must return home for a reflective nap. Colorful, flavorful, fresh, delicious. I've yet to come across a bite that didn't make me grin while chewing.", "Having only experienced the pita bread and hummus, I am completely sold on this establishment. Using only the freshest ingredients, Byblos crafts a meal that will not be soon forgotten.\r\n\r\nAlso, you stand a good chance of catching some local celebs dining there.", "Went there with group of friends and everything we had was delicious, that's all I can remember but what really stood out in my memory was the lamb chops, so damn tender! Yeesss! Just the way I like it!!!!", "Absolutely the best Middle Eastern restaurant in New Orleans! I tend to go on week nights as the crowd is weak and the service is excellent!\n\nI love going to this location because you get the white linen with the cafeteria price! It's relaxed and very casual and yet cozy. The dining area is this huge open space, very reminiscent of an American cafe in NYC. \n\nLamb kabobs does it for me -- sooooo flavourful and juicy and tender! Rice pilaf is nutty and underseasoned enough to compliment the meat entree. Love the smoked salmon appetizer! But stay away from the eggplant! Very bitter and just...ick! \n\nDessert is something else...we had a brownie a la mode...the icecream and caramel was delicious..but the brownie was WAY too sweet. \n\nI seriously used to live in this restaurant! Parking is on the street, but if you go evening hours, park @ the Liberty Bank parking lot. I used to be Mona's, but Byblos just rocks my world =)", "Ironically enough, when I moved back to Boston from New Orleans I missed the Middle Eastern restaurants the most. I mean, I was so over the po-boys and the redfish drowning in cream sauce and sausage on everything and bland gumbo and red beans and rice and fried oysters. Byblos is one of a few places in New Orleans where you can feel good and healthy about eating there. The food doesn't weight you down and it's really freaking good!\n\nByblos has the most incredible hummus (but I will say I think Mona's is slightly better) with warm pita and their feta is creamy and fresh tasting. I'm pretty basic in my ordering and always stuck with kabobs and salads but I've always been pleased. \n\nOn this last trip to New Orleans I made it a point to go to Byblos uptown and it was my favorite meal there. I know, I work in Watertown, MA where Middle Eastern restaurants are plentiful but none have been able to do for me what Byblos can.", "one of my faves in N.O. I recently moved back to San Francisco and have been craving some Byblos!!! Theres tons of greek/med. food in the sanfran but the ambiance here was really nice. The food is consistently good and a nice change from all the fried food in the city. the chicken kabobs are sooooo good perfectly seasoned. hummus is delish. falafels and greek salad are also quite good. the only thing i wish is that the cucumber yogurt salad had more than a slice of cucumber in it!!!!! awwww but i miss this place and will be heading there on my next visit", "This is the best Med/Mid-East./Greek style food in the State of Louisiana. Also it is the best Hummus I've ever had. Do NOT miss the hummus!", "As a half-persian raised on Middle Eastern food all my life, I find it hard to give any Middle Eastern restaurant a high score- let alone one in New Orleans, but Byblos faired well. The hummus is OKAY... the sumac was excessive and they didn't add olive oil in mine. I prefer Mona's Cafe over Byblos, even though the atmosphere there is lacking. My favorite dish here is the chicken kebob, and the falafels weren't shabby either.", "Nooooootttttttt so bad. I wandered in here tonight, crashing at a friend's place in the Garden District for the evening after three days at a conference in the Quarter. I was up to my eyeballs in po' boys, not in a bad way, so this was a good alternative. Plus I love Lebanese/Middle Eastern food and it's a staple of my eating-out diet in DC. \n\nThis place is calm and attractive inside, so I was happy about that. i ate at the bar, where the service was low-key. The chicken shawarma was yummy, but the sides are where I get picky...the hummus was okay. I wasn't blown away. And I asked for a side of fattoush as a sub for the rice that comes with the dish. The bartender immediately obliged, but this was not fattoush. it was like Caesar salad with pita chips. Boo. (I love fattoush...) \n\nThe portion of chicken was generous and it was really good. A generous basket of pita slices came out first. I'm an olive oil junkie so it would have been nice if they'd brought some out with it. \n\nIt was definitely a quality meal and I'd go back, but I do recommend that they jazz up the salad and the hummus, just a bit. I'd also love to try more of the mezze. Since I was alone I just got the few things I had, and it's not fair to judge a restaurant with so many options just based on those. Pleasant dining experience, though, and I'm glad I chose it." ]

[ "Andy's just opened on Monday in the location that formerly housed the short-lived H.I. Rib (and Longhorn Steakhouse before that). I was unbelievably excited when I heard that we were getting a diner - and a 24-hour diner, at that! - near our neighborhood. Even though I generally have a policy of not trying a restaurant during the first couple of weeks that it's open (I learned that less with H.I. Rib), I was too excited to wait.\n\nMy wife and I stopped in last night, and we had a good experience (especially scaled to the fact that it was pretty much their first night open). My first litmus test comes early on in the experience: the quality of the iced tea (this is a big deal for me). Good Iced tea: check. Huge menu with choices ranging from a scrambled egg through a treasure trove of seafood (not that I would order the latter): check. \n\nAfter perusing the huge menu, contemplating our choices carefully, then reevaluating their opportunity costs, we had our choices: cheeseburger and a BLT. Both were very good, but the fries really stole the show. They were awesome.\n\nThe waitress was very nice, and I liked that fact that, when I paid the bill up at the counter (like you do at most diners), other members of the waitstaff stopped and made small talk with me. I thought that was nice. \n\nAnyway, Andy's looks very promising, and I am thrilled that they are in the neighborhood. Oh, wait, one more thing...they have a bar. Sweet.", "Boy, has Conshy been in need of something like this. Let me just start by saying that I was in love with this place as soon as they knocked down H.I. Rib N' Stuff. That place was god awful. And like the previous poster, I also like to wait until a place has been open for a week or so. But seriously, a 24 hour diner that doesn't start with the numbers 401 (crappy diner in Conshy that claims to be 24 hrs, but is not). My girlfriend and I had to check this out immediately.\n \nAnyway, it didn't really matter that it was the second night open. There is a ton of parking and the place is huge, so we were seated right away. The bar section looks pretty cool, but we didn't sit there. HELPFUL INFO! domestic drafts $3, Imports $4, wells $5. Not too shabby. \n\nThe decor is well done. It screams \"diner\" with it's massive amount of granite, but creates a lounge atmosphere with it's olive shaped wallpaper. Pictures of Elvis, James Dean, and several loose instruments coat the walls as well. Anyway, to the food!\n \n I ordered the Brooklyn Burger. Burger with swiss, shrooms, and bacon. It was pretty darn tasty! Just what I would expect from a Diner. The fries are steak fries, which made me and the little lady very happy. Hard to find good steak fries these days. We split mozz sticks (why are they always so damn expensive?). They were delicious. \nMa' gal pal had the chicken fingers with fries. HELPFUL INFO!! Chicken fingers are sold separate from fries, so expect to pay extra if you order this. The chicken fingers were a little overdone and they forgot to bring honey mustard. They were not the frozen type of chicken fingers, so if you like the frozen type as opposed to the homemade breaded type, don't bother. I think you chicken finger maniacs know what I'm talking about. \n \n I would have given it a five, had we not noticed an trashy smell while we were leaving. If anyone has worked in or near a kitchen, you might know what I mean. Something that has to do with the dirt and trash a kitchen collects throughout the day. If they are able to address this problem in the future, I could change my rating. Maybe I just need a seat further away from the kitchen next time. \nOverall, It has everything I look for in a diner.\n-24 hrs\n-Sugar dispenser\n-decent coffee\n-Menu with a ridiculous amount of options\n-reasonably priced breakfast (2 eggs, hash browns, toast, and a meat: just under $7)\n-Overpriced entres that you hope are made from scratch\n-scrapple option\n-Salad Bar\n*Bonus--Bar\n\nI plan to go back frequently and try out the massive menu. \nHope this helps!", "I am not good at this but here goes. My family and I went for dinner the other nite and it being the first week open we were a little worried.\nWe arrived at dinner time and expected to wait but surpised to be seated right away as they added a table to a booth to fit all six of us.\nThey have a very good menu and we found someting we wanted.\nThe wait for the food was long but we told to go to the soup and sald bar to get something to hold us over(which was very nice). They have great desserts and we all enjoyed our food. I like the fact that they are open 24/7 and would defintly go again.", "Attention All Diner Lovers!\nIts FINALLY Here. Our very own 24-7 DIner, in Conshohocken and its Great. I arrived around 11 am for Breakfast with my 5 grandkids, and was glad I can get in without a wait.

This place is much closer to us ofcoarse but I am familiar of their great food.

Breakfast on Sunday was awesome. Great waitstaff as well as great food and prices very reasonable. I had a pepper omelet with real green peppers..imagine that. Real buttered toast and real hash brown potatoes.......The quality was excellent. \nWe even went back today for lunch. Large menu with a very nice salad bar for $9.00 which included soups (3 choices) and cinnamon bread. I can't believe this is actually happening. A real great diner open all the time....", "HORRIBLE!!! I had a western omlet that was pretty retched. The pepers werent even cooked and crispy, there were TOO many of them and the eggs had NO taste. The home fries also had no taste and were very bland. Even syrup didnt help them. Toast was soggy and the butter came out clumped and not even melted. I would never go back. Took like 10 minutes to pay the bill. I can only inagine the money this place spent on a liquor license and all the granite table tops. Longhorn and the Rib house didnt work in that location and I dont see this place working out any better, not with that food. If you want \"diner\" food your better off going to the 401, although thats if your desperate for diner food.", "The fries get five stars and Diet Pepsi. The location must have a black cloud hanging over it. Lone Star which wasn't that bad and HL Rib House which was really bad. \n\nWhoever designed the inside went overkill with the marble. It is everywhere from the outside to ever table in the place to the bathroom.\n\nTry at your risk.", "This is so what I needed and was previously missing from the area. The place is open 24/7; food is cheap and surprisingly very good; they serve alcohol; the wait-staff is great and very friendly; its big and tables are usually available right away; outdoor seating; free WiFi. I love this place and cannot think of one negative.", "This is a GREAT diner, especially for a basic business breakfast. The food is awesome. I have been there a bunch of times already, always consistently good - the wait staff are really nice, the managers are even nicer. They are HAPPY to have you eat there - no greasy spoons here - this place is great - highly recommend it for breakfast.", "We have needed a 24/7 diner here for quite some time and it seems that we finally have one. I stopped in here with a friend and I got an order of pancakes and she got the chicken fingers with fries. My pancakes were okay but not spectacularly fluffy. My friend's fries were nice and crispy, but the chicken fingers were just okay. They could have used a bit more spice in the breading. Overall, the place serves its purpose, but I will be sticking to Minellas. The menu is extensive and there is free WiFi, but the food itself is not amazing." ]

And the service reflects the loving, caring attitude that they share.", "I've got a real soft spot in my heart for Chick-Fil-A.\nAs a fast food establishment, it really stands out in terms of quality. The standard chicken sandwich, garnished with the two pickles, will definitely satisfy your craving for a chicken sandwich that has been disciplined in the fires of a fryer and the intense demographic surveys they must have done to come up with such a fulfilling flavor. Don't get me wrong - This is not high class, healthy cuisine...but it beats the heck out of Taco Bell, McDonald's, etc.\n\nChick-Fil-A's shakes are really great. I am a sucker for the cookies n' cream.\n\nHell, even breakfast at Chick-Fil-A is good. Fried chicken on a biscuit with hash browns and OJ?

Is it some unusual marketing tactic? No. It's just that so many of their stores are located near malls and shopping centers and people tend to do their shopping on Sundays. \n\nYou head down to Ikea, Best Buy, or one of the malls and, boom, you're staring a closed Chick-Fil-A dead in the eye at lunch time. You could apply Leo Getz's philosophy on drive-thrus from Lethal Weapon 2 to this scenario.\n\nI get that the owner is a devout Christian and he wants to be closed on Sunday because it is the \"Lord's day\" but people still need to eat. The J man handed out loaves of bread and fishes to his peeps. He didn't leave them starving, right?", "I heart Chick-Fil-A! Out of all the fast food chains, they have the best chicken sandwich. I like that their buns are whole wheat. Whether I walk in or drive thru, customer service is top notch. They greet you with smiles and sometimes even help take your order to a table, I had my kids with me at the time and they brought my tray over.

Waited. The help (cute brunette) was TOO BUSY TEXTING ON HER PHONE to help us. Hubby knocked loudly on the counter, I waved & called out to her--\"excuse me, are you still open for lunch?\" She never even looked up. We could see her clearly--how could she have not noticed us? \n\nWith all the people out of work, it is sad to see small businesses putting up with such bad help. I wonder if the owners know how their customers are not being served when they are not in their store?

I don't come here for the service or atmosphere unless I'm feeling destructive and need some disdane along with my chicken bowl.

I got a turkey burger with 3 toppings (goat cheese, smash sauce, and haystack onions). The burger itself had decent flavor, but they left off the goat cheese entirely (which was on the receipt and I paid extra for), and there was a tiny amount of sauce. It was basically a dry burger with onion strings. My boyfriend got a beef burger with several toppings and asked if they forgot the sauce, because his was also very dry. To me the main draw of a place like this is the toppings, so if you can't get that right, it's unacceptable. The veggie frites were well-seasoned, but a bit too oily for my taste.\n\nI might give this place another chance. The staff was friendly. The food has potential, but I hope they work on their execution.", "Not sure why Smash Burger is a popular chain. I thought the Triple Double burger was terrible. Low quality beef, low quality cheese (one slice wasn't even melted). Very greasy and salty. The shoestring fries were bland. The prices are high considering it's not a \"gourmet\" burger joint.

For the Pho or Vermicelli, I would go three stars. \n\nMy word is that I work fairly close by and I will support this business when I need a quick Vietnamese fix. My go to will be the Banh Mi and egg rolls for now.", "Good prices, nice sit-down service, OK food. They had a fresh limeaid but we couldn't seem to get water/refills after asking a few times. I was thankful that they posted the sauces as peanut/fish ingredients and the chef made a vegan version for us upon request. I'd like to up my rating once they get going, but I wouldn't think to get the vegan pho again- bland broth and pretty basic add ins. Overall, it was OK but I kept comparing it to other Vietnamese places and that's not what dinner should be about.", "So delicious and cheap!! We have been here 4 or 5 times since they opened (and we don't usually eat out). Amazing pho - the tofu one is so flavorful. The chicken meat in the chicken pho is really high quality. BYOB for now." ]

[ "I was trying, operative word TRYING, to get home today and the Schuylkill was backed up. I know everyone who knows the Schuylkill is rolling their eyes right now thinking, \"Really?!?!?! No Duh! Trying to kill me with that surprise?\" But it was particularly bad today, excited to just hit 18 mph. But this isn't a review of the road, although I imagine there are a lot of people who would like to review that and with a few choice words to boot. \n\nI pulled off the road desperately trying to find a place to get on the internet and at least salvage some of my day and work. Honestly, it was an epic saga worthy of a novel. But after many, many misattempts, I finally was able to get on the internet at this place, Chili's. \n\nThe servers really went out of their way to help me find the internet connection and get logged on. I sincerely appreciated this. The internet was a bit slow, but serviceable, and frankly, beggars can't be choosers. But if you ever need internet, this Chili's has it and are nice about letting you use it! My personal server was amazing. He really walked the delicate line of being helpful and disruptive. He generally left me alone, which is a great thing, because I was obviously trying hard to work on my laptop, but came by at just the right time to ask me if I needed anything else or to offer me refills of things I had run out of. One of the top 5 waiters I have EVER had. \n\nUnfortunately the food reminded me why I never go to Chili's anymore. I got the beef Fajitas and they were very plain. I will temper it by saying that I'm not a real Fajita lover to begin with. But the tortillas were a bit thick and flavorless. The peppers seemed a bit over cooked, the guacamole was flavorless. The salsa was too spicy for me, but some of you may love that. And this review is happening at 6:40pm after having gone an entire day without eating a thing. \n\nUpshot: Great place to get food is you need to use the internet (gave it an extra star just for that) and/or care about service, but probably would not go purely for the food, unfortunately. :(", "I used to be a real fan of their Cedar Planked Tilapia, so I was mad when they took that off of their menu! Some upgrade! I order takeout from this location fairly often, and now there's not a whole lot of healthy options on their menu.\n\nI also order the Monterey Chicken w/o bacon, and no visit is complete without their White Chocolate Molten Lava cake. YUUUUUUUUUM!!! Chili's is okay with me!!!", "This whole meal was stellar. I liked the ambiance... not too noisy and low key enough for me to enjoy myself. The service was great and the food was better. I had some spicy honey chicken tenders and a BBQ burger/fry combo. It wasn't amazing or anything, but it's enough for me to go back. Really, I'd like to try a different location downtown. \n\nAnd I think I lucked up because there was no wait and it was a Saturday night.", "This was the second stop for me & my buddy on our hunt for food last night. After waiting 30 minutes and no one ever coming to our table, we left T.G.I. Fridays then proceeded up City Line Ave to come here. Well, we got there and witnessed someone pulling on the door, it appeared to be locked. After reading the sign on the wall outside, they were supposed to be open till 11pm, it was only 10:30 and they had already locked the doors. Apparently the guy who was pulling on the doors knew someone who worked there, he made a call, and a server came to let him in.\n\nWhen we attempted to follow behind him, she not-so-politely said, \"Guys, we'll be closing shortly.\" I said, \"Ok, you're saying that to say what? We can't come in? It's only 10:30, don't you close @ 11? Long story short, we turned and walked away, STILL in search of some eats...Never again!", "My friend and I were in the area and had a gift card, sooo...off to chili's we went. \n\nIn the casual dining with drinks category (ruby Tuesday's, appleby's, Fridays, etc), chilli's is one of the better options. I especially enjoy their margarita chicken. However I do wish their menu had a wider selection of specialty mixed drinks, since I sort of expect that from this type of establishment. \n\nWe arrived at this chili's a bit before 2 and were surprised to find it still quite busy. However it was not busy enough to warrant the distracted service we received. We did not receive side plates with our chips and hot dip appetizer, even after we asked for them! We stared longingly at the bar awaiting our drinks as the bartender chatted up customers at the bar. Finally our waitress retrieved our melting frozen drinks from the bar, after our appetizer was half gone. \n\nFood and drinks were tasty and consistent with other chili's, which of course is the benefit of a place like this.", "We've been here quite a few times - service is highly variable depending on who you get but the food is consistent. Consistently mediocre. Our service two nights ago hit rock bottom.\n\nMy ribs had a tasty sauce but they were dry and the waiter never checked back on us or ever brought me a freaking knife. All any of us had were forks and napkins. And we had two young children. Any waiter with sense knows to bring extra napkins when you have children and this guy just didn't get it. The lack of knives also really pissed me off. I couldn't find our waiter after he served us and I had to tear the one of the children's hamburger into pieces with my fingers. Seriously. I shit you not! I could not hail our waiter, or ANY WAITER, to save my life.\n\nTired of waiting, I walked over to the service station and got a stack of napkins myself. No one batted an eye.\n\nAnother thing that really gets me about places like this is that they don't put the prices on the drink menu. Why is it that they tell you that the bottomless chips cost $2.99 or that the burger cost $8.99 but they can't tell you that the chardonnay you ordered is $5/glass? Does the price of a glass of wine or a margarita change so DAMNED MUCH that they can't afford to put it in print? WTF is with that crap?\n\nI think that this is more of a drinking than a dining establishment and they don't want the drunks to know how much they're spending on alcohol before the tab comes.\n\nTacky!!\n\nI'll only eat here when I'm desperate for something the kids will eat.", "Some of the worst service I've ever experienced. Took 15 minutes for even a greeting to my party and after receiving the wrong order, drinks not being replenished and a visit from the manager who promised he would fix everything. What happened you ask? The manager brought out the wrong food for the fourth time personally. Oh did I mention that the appetizers were brought out after we finished our dinner?", "Warning: The following material may be inappropriate for sensitive readers.\n\nWell, you have to keep reading now, right? Fine, but I told you so.\n\nSo, it's almost 11:30 on a Saturday night and hotel room service stopped delivering at 11:00 PM. We haven't eaten for hours and we're starving. What do we do? Hey, there's a Chili's right down the street (kitchen is open 'til midnight). Let's go! \n\nBad #$@*&$ idea. Why, you ask? Well....\n\n#1 - As we walk across the parking lot we notice a guy puking outside the front door. Nice. We then watch him go back into the restaurant. Okay, interesting.\n\n#2 - After dodging whatever this idiot had been drinking throughout the evening, we start to go inside. WTF is that? Oh, there's more vomit, at eye level, slowly oozing down the inside of the interior door.\n\nOkay, those should have been enough warning signs for the average, prudent person to turn tail and run, but we're not average people. Plus we're hungry, dammit, and nothing else is open at this hour! So, we quickly grab a booth and I'm feeling like I need to take a shower just from being in there.\n\nEventually an uninspired waiter comes over and takes our drink order. Water please. We decide to share the appetizer sampler of chicken sliders, burger bites and Southwest egg rolls. \"Is that IT?\" the waiter inquires, as if he's never heard of such a crazy thing. \"Uh yeah, thanks,\" we respond, wondering if we've offended him in some way. \n\nSo, by now we're thinking that surely someone working here has at least addressed the disgustingly decorated front door and entrance-way. Nope, still there. ::eye roll::\n\nThe waiter comes back a little while later and drops off our food. Okay, it doesn't look too bad. Let's eat! We look at each other. Umm, where are the utensils and napkins? Nothing. Really? (Wait patiently for waiter, again, who brings back a stack of napkins). Okay, good to go. Oh, wait. Umm, where are the plates? Ugh! Forget it, I don't even care anymore. After we construct our own napkin place mats, we quickly devour everything, hoping and praying nothing else happens while we're in here. \n\nWe don't see the waiter again until he brings our check, so I guess one glass of water each is adequately sufficient. I quickly pay our bill so we can get the hell out of there. By now, someone has FINALLY decided to clean up the mess, so a game of late-night hopscotch is fortunately not needed to escape this madness. Wow. What an ending to a long day! \n\nBTW...who gets wasted at Chili's anyway!?", "This place is mediocre at BEST!!!! Service was horrendous.... can some body open a restaurant on city line that doesn't suck!", "Lucky enough to drop in for Magarita madness Mondays. I came in the afternoon with my dad and couldn't complain about anything. Food was typical for a place like this and has a slightly prefreezed taste. Night could be a problem though with volume and waits for seating. If there was anything more cookie cutter franchise America than this place, it would be scary. But that's why places like this exist, It earns three stars somehow like Yelpers are in a trance. I just snapped out of giving them three stars, there is nothing unique to places like this, but my margarita did do its job." ]

Dinners are fresh, well-prepared, and feature generous portions. The scallops were HUGE--my mom loved them. I enjoyed my broiled bluefish. \n\nYou can choose any fish they have in the market and choose how you want it prepared. I like getting exactly what I want.\n\nThis is a good neighborhood restaurant.", "Every time I go to Seafood Unlimited, I'm reminded what a terrific little restaurant it is. Everything I've ever eaten there has been well prepared, tasty and reasonably priced. My cousin, who is notoriously difficult to please, never has trouble finding something on the menu to make her happy. They are flexible and are typically really happy to accept substitutions and special orders.", "We took the Happy Hour special where dishes are $5 per plate. The portion is good for 2 pax. We had the chicken quesadila and quarter spicy chicken. Don't mind visiting it again.", "Two and a half stars.\n\nDecor was horrible-- tables that small should be outlawed! Plus our table was super wobbly, our drinks were about to fall over.\n\nFood was okay. Oysters weren't as fresh as I've had before; I wanted to stop halfway but my husband doesn't eat oysters so it would have been a total waste. I got the sesame crusted ahi tuna with some kind of pineapple/papaya sauce with sauteed snap peas and polenta cakes. The ahi tuna, although cooked medium rare, was dry. I don't know how that was possible, but the sauce definitely saved it. Snap peas were standard and polenta cakes were unexciting.", "Been here many times - always a great experience. It is not the place to go for a trendy scene. The food is always Great, Fresh and healthy. The fresh isn't butchered with tons of sauces to, get it grilled or pan fried and it's delicious. \n\nGreat prices for what you get. Highly recommend for great food, homey atmostphere. Service has always been great as well", "Went here during lunch one day after searching for a new place to eat. The waitress wouldn't let me sit where I wanted because it was just me, however it was during a slow time and two other solos came in and got to sit where they pleased.\n\nOrdered a shrimp melt which I was a little leary about because I had concerns that it would lack flavor...and rightfully so because it did, very bland not even the cheese helped.\n\nThen I went to pay my bill and for whatever the reason, the waitress thought it okay to give me my dollars yet keep about 35 cents with no mention of it. When I mentioned it to her she said she'd have to get the register opened to get the change so I let her know that's what she'll need to do then. Thing about it is I probably would have included that change with her tip but how about not deciding for me that that's what should go down!\n\nI'll try this place again and get something I'm more likely to like see if my judgement is different but if I see this waitress I'm heading right back out of the door!", "I have lived in Philly for 15 years and never stepped into Seafood Unlimited. Then, the outdoor tables beckoned on a beautiful October evening. Now, I have been there twice in ten days.\n\nThis is NOT a trendy scene. Try Snackbar or Rouge or Parc for that. This is a classic Philadelphia dining experience- just a few steps above a diner- with value in mind. BYOB is now available. The HH menu goes all night long. $5 mussels, cocktails, and other goodies. My friend and I sampled 3 HH menu items + 2 margaritas. Yummy.\n\nProps to our server M- super sweet and attentive.", "What an excellent evening out! My friend and I stumbled upon this place and didn't want to leave! The food was incredible- I requested non fried calamari and the chef improvised his own special creation. The owner and bartender were a great source of cheerful banter. We will definitely be back.\n\nThey also have a fantastic happy hr menu from 5-midnight... check it out!", "Went here during restaurant week last summer. Much too salty and generally not terribly exciting.", "I read through the other reviews and have to say that I have had every experience detailed therein. I have had great happy hour specials, I have had good meals here, I have enjoyed the appetizers, etc. However, I have also had three dreadful meals in a row here and feel compelled to sound the warning bell. \n\nMost notably, we ate here on Saturday night and arrived at 7.30 (we had booked a table as we were 6 people). We had a 9.30 movie to catch and figured this would be no problem. Not unlike my previous two \"bad\" visits, our waiter was completely out-of-it. He had to ask each of us at least 2 or 3 times what we were ordering (note: no one deviated from set menu fare). This should have been a sign. \n\nWe sat for at least 30 minutes before bread and drinks arrived even though we had tried to flag down our waiter several times. The place is small, so imagine how skillfully inattentive a waiter would have to be to avoid a party of six! \n\nOur food arrived about 1 hour and 15 minutes after we ordered it and 3 out of 6 entrees were wrong. One was a completely wrong order, two had sides incorrectly ordered, and there were no accompaniments for baked potatoes (e.g., butter, sour cream). \n\nWe barely got out of there by 9.25 and I am not one who usually would have noticed the time, but we were on a schedule and the service was painfully slow. Even getting the guy to ring up our bill took ten minutes. \n\nI ordered the salmon and it was off with a fishy taste and bad slimy feel. The crab cakes did not even taste of crab - more like canned salmon. The baked potatoes were small and over cooked. The side of mixed vegetables was a slimy disgusting mess of julienned zucchini, carrots, and broccoli florets. All in all - gross! \n\nI am not one to advocate chain restaurants, but I had a much better piece of fish with friendlier, more efficient service on a recent road trip at Red Lobster. Three strikes and you're out, Seafood Unlimited." ]

One guest questioned why another party that came in after them were seated first and the staff actually argued with them. They had been told 25 min and had already waited an hour. I was shocked by how the staff handled the situation. They lost 2 customers right there. We were finally seated and the food was ok. They advertised horseradish mayo. It it was straight mayo. The wine was good and the beer selection decent. We aren't in any rush to go back.", "I always give new restaurants the benefit of the doubt when trying them for the first time and I award points for effort even if the outcome falls a little short. My wife, son and I arrived at around 5:15 PM and were immediately seated by friendly host staff. The ambiance is very open and modern, albeit quite loud, and the all staff who served us were attentive and and eager to please. My wife ordered the Portabello Salad and subbed in Steak and I opted for the charbroiled Salmon with a rice accompaniment that was prepared raisins or dates that offered a sweet and savory combination. The salmon was solid and accommodating and my wife's salad greens were fresh and very visually appealing. The flavor was good but lacked texture and variety. Perhaps some cherry tomatoes or grapes might have added some contrast to liven the texture. We love the sister restaurant on Olio Road so we will definitely be back. Kudos to the dining room Manager Ryan for checking in and genuinely soliciting feedback.", "I went on wednesdsy evening. I loved the atmosphere and the attitude of the Murphy team was incredible. I was informed it was a soft opening week and they were overwhelmed every night. Great job. We will be regulars....thank you for investing in the Geist Community", "Great food, great company, great drinks! Don't expect to be in and out - and you aren't paying to do that either. Relax and enjoy your night out. And HUGE plus - the owners own Stoney's liquor store on the east side.", "The best! Steak and service was awesome...Cindy was very friendly as well as management. We are definitely coming back!", "Good was good but not outstanding . Service was excellent. We will go back, heck it is too close not to.", "Birthday dinner out for two of us in the family. Our party of 6 walked in without at wait right around 4. The New York strip was fantastic. Others enjoyed the chopped steak, wings, and goat cheese bites. Great customer service and atmosphere. Appreciated the cake slices for our celebration. Highly recommend. We will be back.", "Overhyped! Judging by the crowds over the last few weeks I was expecting this place to be awesome. The menu is basically the same as the Pubhouse down the street except 50% more expensive. The same exact ribeye that their other location serves for $19, they had on the menu for $29.\n\nGlasses were dirty. Napkins were dirty. When I mentioned to the hostess that they had people waiting around when 1/3 of the tables were empty, the look she gave me was dirty.\n\nWe won't be going back.", "Glad to see that a nice restaurant is here. We went for Valentine's dinner and had good service and good food We will make this one of our \"Go to Spots\" for dinner. We cannot wait for the patio to open.", "Very underwhelmed! Nothing about the place makes me think it will last any longer than anything else in that same location. Hostesses anything but, there seemed to be no joy in anyone's faces and conflicting info regarding bar seating given to many guests. My burger was not seasoned nor cooked to order (since when is medium completely brown) and arugula topping per menu was shredded iceberg (ick), husband's chicken in his salad was very dry. Server was very attentive but not enough of a reason to return unfortunately! It's too bad, not to worry El Rodeo many will be back." ]

The latte was a bit weak, but fine. The atmosphere could use a little work, but ever since it was a burger joint, they completely changed the layout. (making it a hard space to work with).\n\nThe people that own this place are great. Customer service is down home and super friendly. Free Wi-Fi to boot! So, all in all, a nice local alternative.", "I've eaten breakfast and lunch several times at Hattie's and they exceeded my expectations every time. I highly recommend the birds nest breakfast sandwich and the Old Maid sandwich for lunch. If you like a good cup of coffee my favorite is the French press but their regular coffee is excellent too. Want fresh squeezed orange juice, this is the place. They squeeze it with Florida oranges right in front of you. Highly recommend. Located in The plaza behind Walgreens on Dale Mabry at Van Dyke Rd.", "Tried what was recommended in a newspaper article which was a salmon sandwich. I substituted the bread with a croissant roll and it was off the chain good EXCEPT the cream cheese over took the sandwich. Could have used more sprouts, more onions and more salmon. Salmon that was there was high quality. The ingredient list stated avocado but it really was guacamole and just the barest of dabs. They need to go with thin slices of avocado. Place was really clean. Staff was prompt and friendly. Prices were very reasonable. I will go back and try it again.", "Great spot for a tasty affordable lunch! I've tried the quiche and a couple of their sandwiches over the last couple months and have enjoyed it all. Friendly staff and daily specials make this a must try.", "So happy to have a bustling little coffee shop in this area. I only got toast and a cuban coffee but both were good and I did see that they pride themselves on roasting their own beans before grinding them fresh each day. The actual coffee bean roaster is in the seating area and is pretty sweet looking. \n\nThe cashier was a little icy and gave an initial bad impression but she warmed up as my order was prepared. They were pretty busy for 9am on a Saturday which is maybe why she was a little indifferent but cheer up buttercup, I'm a nice person. The cuban bread was pressed and crunchy, exactly the way I like it. I think for the toast and my cafe con leche, the total was around $5 which isn't La Tropicana but I guess rent is higher in Lutz than Ybor. The cafe con leche is very very strong. I was kind of shocked at how strong it was. Maybe I've been enjoying weak cuban coffee my entire life?\n\nThere was a full bakery case full of pastries, bagels, muffins, and other goodies and I noticed they prepare sandwiches and salads as well. Most people seated were eating breakfast which is cool that it isn't just take out and people stick around.", "Granted, this was my first visit but it will not be my last. The food was excellent (had the Hattie's benedict and a Cafe Con Leche for breakfast)--maybe a little pricey but when you consider the ingredients are fresh and everything is made to order it is well worth it. The staff was very friendly and the owner was in the little dining room often early on a Mon morning chatting with customers. Looking forward to trying a sandwich and pastries. Oh, and if you are a coffee person, they roast their own (watched it being done this morning) and are happy to discuss their process, blends, etc. They also have gluten free options for those of that persuasion. I even heard the owner talking to his staff about how different items were gluten free so they could discuss ingredients intelligently with customers, not just say something was gluten free. Support this great local business!", "I love the taste of good coffee... Hatties has excellent coffee that they brew fresh and roast fresh. Don't be worried about getting a plain Joe and pouring it yourself, that coffee is delicious... the person that roasts the beans is spot-on. I've never had a better blend. You can even order a press of roast as well.\n\nNot only is their coffee great, but so is there food. I love their cheese danish (they offer to warm it up) and their quiche is amazing as well.\n\nWill always come back for at least their coffee.", "Hats off to Hattie's for a number of reasons. \n\nWarm, welcoming and wonderfully committed to creating quality dining experiences are my main motivations for seeking out this dining spot that has deep ties to the Tampa Bay area (for the history, go to the very informative web site).\n\nThere is the coffee roasted on premises, fresh-squeezed orange juice that tastes as great as it looks, baked goods made daily on-site and made-to-order breakfast items that are available even beyond the traditional breakfast hours.\n\nThis is a combination cafe, coffee house and bakery and just the sort of place everyone would love to have just around the corner or down the block from where they live or work.\n\nI first tried this for breakfast and will definitely return to sample its lunch offerings.", "I live almost across the street from Hattie's and am so glad to have them here. They have incredible coffee that is fresh and tastes great. They roast the beans themselves on site. The staff and owner are all very personable. I have only had food once but it was excellent, the breakfast nest egg sandwich. I highly recommend Hattie's, especially if you are looking for a good cup of coffee!", "One of my favorite things to see at cafes now are the gluten free options! I do not need to eat gluten free (thank goodness) however, I do partake of the gluten free options quite frequently; especially when I feel I am eating too much wheat and bread. I had the Ed's Grill on gluten free bread which was pretty good. Honestly for $7.50 maybe a side of chips or a pickle spear would be a fantastic way to add value. They have gourmet coffee, oatmeal-to-go, and jams they retail as well. Choice spot with great alternative food options for vegetarians and gluten-free folks! The chai spiced coffee crush was uh-mazing." ]

[ "Formerly the Argus Inn, which I heard mixed comments about in its day, this is a historic building dating back to the 1700's. The interior is done in a charming country fashion throughout that matches the building. Entry into the restaurant is through the bar which is very small but sharp looking. Wood abounds. You feel like you just walked into a bar in the middle of the forest. Visually the only complaint is that the dining room has a drop ceiling which seems really out of place. \n\nMy wife and I decided to share the Oriental Beef Satay composed of grilled sirloin skewers for an appetizer. Not only was it delicious but it was huge - it almost looked like a dinner portion. The beef was cooked perfectly (med-rare) and it was tender as could be. There were a lot of delicious vegetables accompanying the beef. \n\nFor her entree my wife had the Ahi Tuna Steak brushed with ginger/teryaky sauce. It came out cooked to order and she enjoyed it. I had the Mixed Grill which consisted of Konfit of Duck, a country sausage and a 6 oz. steak. Like the beef satay appetizer the steak was cooked perfectly and very tender. The konfit of duck was also tender and delicious. The country sausage was the only letdown. It was a very generic tasting sausage and was a bit humdrum compared to the rest of the meal. \n\nWe had a Chocolate Mousse for dessert that was delicious. It was light and fluffy but oh so rich and came topped with a whopping pile of whipped cream and a few slices of peach. \n\nService was consistent and very friendly, as it should be.\n\nArielle's is a really charming stone farmhouse restaurant. This place is hidden away in Bucks County but it is worth finding it. We eat out quite often and this was one of the better meals we've had out in a while.", "I wish I could review the food or maybe even the service but had a bad experience just trying to get in here. I made a lunch reservation here to take a friend out for her birthday. We had trouble finding the address as the numbers start over several times along this road. I called at about the reservation time to get some help finding them only to get an answering machine. I left a message and continued to try to find it. In less than 5 min I got a call back and the woman told me that since we were late \"he\" had started closing the kitchen down!!, so they couldn't accomodate us. What a way to treat a potential customer. They supposedly are open for lunch until 2PM and this was about 10 min after noon.\nNeedless to say we enjoyed a great lunch at ANOTHER establishment.", "I have patronized chef Jacques Colmaire since his first restaurant in Jenkintown, Coquille St. Jacques. He maintained his background in French cuisine at Cafe Arielle in Doylestown. It is with his latest iteration in Sellersville that he has changed the culinary conversation of exacting, complicated sauces and haute cuisine for a country ease while still maintaining his standards in food execution. Everything is prepared with deft precision, utilizing locally sourced (his own garden) and sometimes organic ingredients to create what appears a straightforward presentation but is an extrapolation of the French way. His \"salmon dumplilngs\" are actually quenelles, impossibly light, rich in flavor and garnished with the unexpected chunks of backfin crab. My last meal began with a special cold soup, puree of pea and ginger which was perfect on a blistering hot evening. The roasted salmon entree was moist, flavorful and simply delectable. His softshell crabs on another visit were lightly dusted yet had an added flavor ingredient in the breading. There was no \"paper\" as experts say. The crabs were newly shorn of their shells and they melted in your mouth along with the buttery sauce. Simple simple simple and packed with flavor. I think asking a restaurant to stay open while you lose yourself in the country is arrogant. Giving them a poor review because you can't follow directions is shear hubris. Deborah B. should get GPS and then hie back to Arielle for an exquisite meal at really resaonable prices.", "My boyfriend and I had a delicious last minute Sunday dinner at Arielle's a few weeks ago. We had a restaurant.com voucher and figured we would give Arielle's a try. A lot of times when I've purchased the restaurant.com vouchers in the past, the restaurant has been a miss, but not this time. \n\nThe restaurant itself is located in what I consider a pretty remote area. However the views were beautiful on our drive up from Hatboro. According to the owner, the building is was an inn with lodging upstairs and a tavern downstairs. The owners actually live above the restaurant, which makes a lot more sense to me considering their Sunday hours (5-7). There are beautiful gardens out front with bistro tables and chairs you can sit at during the nice weather. We sat inside and although I'm not a big fan of country decor, it really suits Arielle's. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. We had the crab cake and the cream of asparagus soup for an appetizer. My boyfriend had the chicken cordon blue for his entree And I had the mixed grill which came with duck confit (juicy and Delish and I don't even usually like dark meat), filet mignon skewer (perfectly cooked) and bratwurst (never had been my favorite, but I think they did a good job). We were stuffed after the large portions and didn't have any room for desert. The size of the meals definitely make up for the prices. \n\nIf we had never gotten the restaurant.com voucher, we probably would have never found this place. This is a great place for an upscale meal in the country.", "My husband and I have just moved into the area and we were looking for a place to have our birthday dinner (our birthdays are 5 days apart). We decided to try out Arielle's and we are so glad that we did! It was delicious! Both of us had the swordfish, as it is a favorite of ours, and it didn't disappoint. In addition to the great food, the service was great as well. Very polite and prompt. Will definitely go back.", "My husband picked Arielle's for Valentine's dinner and the food was delicious. For the 'holiday' the menu was Prix fixe with good options. Our order consisted of: bacon-wrapped scallops, bratwurst, rack of lamb, steak filet, vegetables, and desserts. Everything was cooked perfect and delicious. The service was friendly and good. As others mentioned it felt remote with country charm, but not overdone. The place is small so I would say reservations are a must.", "One of my absolute FAVORITE restaurants! Delicious fresh food, fabulous atmosphere, and excellent service!", "Third visit and my only complaint is why I do not go there more often. Had the escargot and it was one of the best I ever had including in Paris. The cat fish special was to die for for!! It is so nice during the week no noise no crowds, just a lovely evening. The owner, Christine is delightful!!!!", "Had dinner here last night with my wife. We sat outside in the flower garden. Being late summer, the birds and butterflies were out and about amongst the flowers. The restaurant had created an excellent setting to relax and have dinner.\n\nWe started with the gazpacho. It was made with beets and heirloom tomatoes. It was very good. Our entrees included the crab cakes and a filet. Both were accompanied with local summer vegies. I suspect they were grown on site. It was very tasty and enjoyable. \n\nI definitely recommend this place and look forward to going back. I do recommend getting a reservation and sitting outside if at all possible,", "Would have given it five stars if it wasn't for the abysmal service.

[ "Just had my first meal at San Jose Mexican Restaurant which recently opened in the location vacated by Panchero's Mexican Grill (which I still dearly miss). The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was helpful and friendly. This trip I decided to give the Burrito San Jose a try and it turned out to be a great choice. The tortilla was filled with steak (and from what I could tell, ONLY steak) and was covered with the white Mexican cheese. On the side were the staple beans and rice. Altogether delicious and well worth it. Prices are very reasonable and comparable to the other Mexican restaurants in the area.", "Came here last night and had a great meal! The Pollo Cancun and the Pollo Popeye were both outstanding dishes. The only drawbacks were the margaritas which were bland and not very potent. Skip the margs and have a glass of wine or a beer and enjoy the meal!", "We stopped by a couple of nights ago since we live in the area. We were a little leary since it just opened. Pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed the food and the friendly service. My margarita was quite strong. Not a sweet margarita, tart and intense with very little ice (on the rocks) just the way I like them. We will definitely go back to try more. It's worth trying. Best Mexican food in Crestwood.", "Mexican food the way it ought to be! There is nothing worse than Mexican food that tastes like it came out of a can. This is the real thing! My wife and I have been here 3 times since it opened a couple weeks ago, and everytime we are more impressed. Spinach and cheese enchiladas are outstanding. \nI agree that the margaritas weren't the best- too strong on tequila and not sweet enough. I opt for the Dos Equis on tap.", "Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Great food, great margauritas good atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our new weekly Mexican fix. Must try!", "First let me say, the area around Crestwood Mall is depressing. It's like a different world now. Most of the well known businesses have moved out. Poor Crestwood. We've got to do something with this area. \n\nThere's a new plaza across from the mall in which San Jose is located. PLENTY of parking as there are only a handful of open businesses here. It's a newer building and inside is bright, with more of a southwest feel than Mexican flair. We were seated at a booth by a window. I like the way they set up the place. There are more booths than tables which gives each table a more intimate feel. \n\nThe salsa is definitely hand made and good. It was a little mild for me so they brought me a different hotter version. We started with cheese dip. Nothing special... but it was good. For entrees, I had the Pollo Guadalajara. This was a chicken dish with chorizo and a side of beans. The flavor of the meat was awesome... although a bit greasy. The beans were average. I also tried a few bites of my girlfriend's tilapia dinner. The fish was very flavorful and topped with a white cheese sauce. It was equally as good. Hers was served with rice and vegetables. The top-shelf margarita was great. The sopapilla with ice cream was ok. \n\nOverall, the main dish items were very good, but the sides were sub-par. \n\nService was very, very good. I didn't get his name but he offered his suggestions, was always around but never intrusive, and was super nice. \n\nValue was awesome. An appetizer, two entrees, drinks for two and dessert was $35. \n\nA couple of negatives... \n\nThe first vegetable we bit into was still frozen. Obviously their veggies aren't fresh, and in this instance weren't prepared correctly. \n\nThe rice and beans were just average.... and maybe I'm spoiled but I expect each Mexican main plate to have both, not one or the other.", "This is a really cute Mexican restaurant that opened recently in the Crestwood area. Since it is close to home, I have been there several times already. I am not sure there is anything that sets this apart from other area Mexican restaurants (fairly standard menu, red salsa) but the quality has always been consistently high and the staff very attentive and friendly. I have tried two different enchilada dishes and both were on point. The chicken was especially flavorful and moist. Only downside is we were once seated near the front door and there was a really bad cold draft. Brrr!!!", "Surprisingly good. I had a favorite Mexican food place in Kansas City and in Columbia and I may have finally found one in stl. It is Tex-Mex, but well-executed with a great happy hour and fabulous ambience. I'll be returning, at least for happy hour.", "I think overall the food is good. The place is newer which is good. Everything is solid. \n\n\nMy only knock on this place is I have been there about 5 times now and there seems to be a rice and beans shortage. They hardly give you any and spread it real this on a plate. \n\nIf your on Watson in the area, I think El Maguey is probably better.", "The service was excelent. The staff was so friendly, and attentetive to my needs. Not usually a fan of Tex Mex, but was in the area, and decided to stop by. I really enjoyed my buritto which was a Texano style one. It was crafted with amor, and a job well done at that. The facade and interior are inviting; they took the time in decoration, and the establishment is nice and clean. I was sure taken care of, and will be sure to come back when in Crestwood. Their menu is extensive and unique, filled with more exotic dishes then expected in Tex Mex dining. I think you wont be disappointed. For a place being in a suburb, i think it holds it own. Much much better then Maguay buay." ]

[ "These guys exceeded my expectations from service to the quality of the food.\n\nA good pho does not need anything added to it. This pho was like that delicious as is and then bumped up a level when you add the basil, lime and jalapenos. It was slightly more beefy than I like but that is personal. The beef was top quality and the noodles cooked just right (easy to overcook those). The goi roll is with shrimp and missing the more commonly found pork. But it was excellent and as good as any in town. The sauce that came with it had a nice peanut flavor (something missing from many of Indy's Vietnamese restaurants). The grilled pork bahn mi was excellent with all the crunchy daikon and again a high quality pork. The bread was good but would have preferred something a bit more French with a harder crust. Still I'm just nit-picking. The service was friendly, helpful and fast. I had my appetizer within less than 5 minutes and my soup and sandwich in less than 10 minutes. These 3 dishes were enough to feed myself and my wife. So at $23 it was a cheep date.\nOver all this has just jumped to one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in town.", "We had Pho and taro dessert and everything was delicious! Friendly staff and fast service!", "I got a beef pho, it was good but the down side is the price (10-11) for the size of the pho bowl & how much food is actually in it. Even my little cousins finished their pho bowls and they were still hungry, even after drinking all the broth. \n\nI been to many Vietnamese restaurant and their portion of pho is big and the price would be around $8 and I wouldn't be able to finish it on an empty stomach.\nTheir rice dish surprised me for how small it was. \n\nThe interior design is nice. They just opened so they're still learning.", "I was so excited to try Chao. We went in for family dinner night. We chose to start with the avocado spring roll. It was really fresh and tasty, definitely recommend it. The dipping sauce was little salty for me. \nIt was a cute space and we sat in the little table which was really comfy. \nMy boyfriend got the steak bahn mi. It was quite tasty except it had a little bit more mayo that I like. \nI ordered the steak rice dish. It was a bit bland. I like the grilled flavor which also made the rice have that yumminess. \n\nThe avocado smoothie was really tasty and love that it wasn't just powder mix but fresh avocado in it. \n\nI would definitely go back to try the pho. I love that they have my childhood favorite drinks. Everyone was really nice. \n\nIt is a bit pricy for the portion. I have also been a bit spoiled growing up in SF so there were awesome Vietnamese food for great prices.", "I ordered vegetarian Pho, egg-rolls and tamarind drink and they were so good. The portion is just right and the price is acceptable with the location and quality of the food. I didn't get a \"dried mouth taste\" from the use of MSG like I'd get from other places so I'm happy about that. It's clean and friendly staffs. Definitely will be back with friends to try different dishes.", "Wow! It's about time we have banh mi in Indy! I had the shrimp sandwich. Perfect combo of spice, fresh veggies and sauce. Just added a bit of sriracha. Top it off with a watermelon smoothie and boba. Soooo good! Can't wait t go back.", "You definitely got a try this place yourself! The atmosphere was great, the food was quick, unique, and tasted amazing (especially the egg rolls). I am making this place one of my favorite for lunch. Prices are reasonable enough than I'm probably going to stop going to the fast food places around this area.", "First off, people need to stop making the argument that this is in fishers and so that justifies the high prices and small portions? LOL! Seriously, I would pay double in the ghetto if it tastes good and we'll portioned! Heck I would pay double in Fishers, but not if the food sucks and very small portioned ...\n\nI was really hoping that this place would be awesome since I live close by, however it seems as though I'll continue to go competition on the west and south side. \n\nThe 2 stars are for the friendly workers and comforting environment. Unfortunately that's about all the positive things that I can say. \n\nI ordered the beef pho for my son, wife, and myself. The pho was really bland and each bowl had literally 4 small pieces of beef. The portion was soo small, and for the price was definitely a disappointment. The deep fried pork eggrolls were really bland too, even with the dipping sauce. \n\nThey really need to consider portion and flavor adjustments if they want people to continue to come. I will try their other items but I won't be excited or looking forward to go there, however I will give them the benefit of the doubt because they are new.\n\nWhen I think of pho, I want a decent portion, with beef, meat balls, tendon, tripe, etc! I need the broth to be flavorful without doctoring it up with hoison and siracha. I can get such for alot cheaper and well worth the drive at Eggroll #1, or any of the Vietnamese restaurants on the west side!\n\nI know the place is new, I hope they really take into account these reviews!", "Had the bun noodle dish and mango strawberry bubble tea smoothie. Delicious!!!! Love the decor and staff was very friendly.", "I was hoping for a great place... but yes it kind disappointed, not much choice on food. However the pho it good, need little more spices of pho. Friendly staffs. Also the price it to high!!!!" ]

The coffee is from la colombe and it is served in really cool steel mugs and i've never been even the slighted bit dissapointed in any dish I've ordered. Even though I remain puppyless, I always liked the fact that there are free biscuits for the 4-legged ones. 5 stars Rx, five stars...", "Excellent spot for brunch. We went with friends who used to work here, so maybe that helped us get seated with lightning quickness and service from bright shining faces, but either way, the food spoke for itself.\n\nI got the steak and eggs (which was amazing, cooked perfectly medium rare and sliced thin, accompanied with eggs and a small handful of delicious sauteed spinach), so did my girlfriend, and we both tore into our friend's french toast (he claimed he couldn't finish - it was incredible, with a light crispy texture and blueberry compote on top - pretty much the best french toast ever). Coffee was served up in steel mugs and was just as eye-opening and delicious as the meal. \n\nVery impressed. Definitely getting the french toast when I return.", "I had been \"saving\" Rx for a special treat, and was really excited to come for brunch when i showed up with my three girlfriends for a special sunday morning... It was *such* a dissapointment. My coffee was cold, scrambled eggs crumbly overcooked, and the salad that came with the eggs wasn't that fresh. My friends were good sports, but the real insult came with the 20% service charge that was tacked on to the bill -- we were only a party of FOUR 'fer cryin out loud... Maybe i just came on an off day, but I'm not going back in a hurry.", "Budget friendly BYO: Rx does a regular Tues-Thurs $25 prix fixe (app, entree, dessert) with almost their entire dinner menu. A few items such as the steak have a $5 addition. I highly highly recommend these appetizers: dayboat calamari (generous portion, slightly addictive sweet & sour & spicy dipping sauce) and the tri-sausage & mustard plate. Desserts are also a lot of fun- some made in house, others by friends of the owners. I like that they try to source ingredients locally, and much of the meat is happy meat (ie pastured, grass fed).\n\nCute lowkey ambience, occasionally unprofessional service and it can get a little cold in winter if you're seated too close to the door.", "Went here for brunch. They don't seat you until your entire party is present, which the group before us seemed upset about. When there are several parties waiting, I don't see a problem with that at all. But I do wish they had a list going for people waiting. The host doesn't, so another group arrived and was seated right away, since we didn't hover at the door but trusted him to call us in (we waited just outside the door). Seeing this, we approached the entrance again as he greeted another new party whom he knew. But we hovered, and he noticed and seated us before them.\n\nService was very quick; our food was on the table within minutes of ordering. Our server misheard one order but was quick to correct it. It was a simple misunderstanding (it gets a bit noisy in there), and she handled it quite well.\n\nThe food was good. Portions were perfect; it was exactly enough to satisfy us but not enough to make us feel bloated afterward. The eggs were cooked properly. The potatoes were seasoned well.\n\nBut overall, I'm lukewarm. I LOVE going out for breakfast, but at $8-13 for a breakfast entree, it wasn't so amazing that I need to go again. But if I'm invited to join friends for brunch, I'd certainly tag along. Left to my own decision, I'd say there are other options to explore and other reliable favorites to which I'll return. \n\nThat said, I might try Rx for dinner some time to see if that might be their specialty.", "This is one of my favorite brunch spots in all of Philly. It's local to me, easy to walk to, and I know that I can stroll over sometime in the afternoon on the weekends and not have to wait long to be seated.\n\nRx serves up dishes made from locally found, seasonal, mostly organic ingredients. The basic breakfast - two eggs, home fries, toast, and choice of sausage or bacon - is a comfortable $6. They offer several very different choices, from standard breakfast options to mini-burgers, and a couple of vegan options. Portions are perfect. The coffee is wonderful and served up in sleek metal mugs that you can actually purchase. I love the staff. Everyone is chatty and friendly, and I have never felt like I should leave less than a 20% tip.\n\nI've never had a bad experience there, and will go back again and again. I wouldn't recommend going with more than four people, as the place is pretty small and the wait can be kind of long at the height of the brunch rush. Also, if your wait is insane and you don't feel like just standing around the whole time, take a walk up 45th Street closer to Walnut - there's a huge thrift store there.", "The food was great, for brunch, so small we got sat by the door on a chilly morning. I could never imagine coming here with more than three people as the wait seemed to be long and uncomfortable. The French Toast looked fancy, and the coffee was great. Probably won't go there again, but only because there are so many place that are better.", "I've had very good food and service at Rx the handful of times I've been there for dinner. The calamari is excellent, and I've had great luck with fish and steak. The prix fixe is a solid deal and I need to get back there for it, as well as try the brunch sometime. Service is also top-notch. Highly recommended.", "This review is based upon the Sunday brunch. Fabulous. My wife had the french toast. It was made with local ingredients, well portioned, and made up so sweet and tasty - the best she's had.\n\nI enjoyed the bagel and lox. Couldn't have been better. Reasonable prices.", "It's a cute, cozy place in West Philly with lots of character--interesting stuff on the walls and cool coffee cups. The $2 endless stream of high-quality coffee is great, but I love the stainless steel cups, in which they are served even more. It just reminds me of camping and those beautiful chilly mornings and sunrises...not exactly sure why.\n\nAnyways, I got the eggs florentine (english muffin, eggs, spinach, hollandaise sauce) and my friend had eggs sardou (english muffin, eggs, with salmon instead of anchovy, heart attack sauce). I was very pleased with the food especially the potatoes, and I do like the spinach a lot. You can definitely taste the freshness of their ingredients.\n\nFood and atmosphere makes the place deserve 4 stars, but SUBTRACT 1 STAR for the pre-seating service and the rushed bill. If you're unfortunate enough to come here when there are no open tables, expect to be jostled in the tiny foyer every couple of minutes as customers and staff come and go. Even coming at a post-rush hour brunch time, I felt like the wait staff was trying to rush me out the door by giving me the bill right after we had finished eating. Even most diners do better than this.\n\nAdvice: For brunch, go early or late. If you're on a brunch date, plan ahead of time to go to Bucks on 40th or the Green Line Cafe for continuation of conversation. Only suitable for those with the most patience and tolerance for mediocre service. Otherwise, bring materials for breakfast cocktails to help you forget about the service." ]

They also have some outside tables for warmer/drier weather!!", "I know Mokabe's is the \"hip\" place to be, but I like the coffee and atmosphere better at Shaw's. Go to Adriana's, eat your sandwich, then stroll down the street and have a coffee at Shaw's. You'll be glad you did.", "Shaw's Coffee Limited is in my opinion was of the best places to have a cup of coffee in the city. There they roast their own coffee and as such, they have people who actually know or at least to me, seem like they know what they are doing when they are making your drink. Ah yes, a tasty beverage goes a long way with, as with service too, which this place has, and it is awesome.\n\nI don't know really all that much about coffee but I do know what I like and can tell the difference between a cup of coffee from McDonalds, Waffle House, and Starbucks. When I first had a cup of coffee at Shaw's Coffee Limited you could say my standard for taste went up quite a bit. Can I be considered a coffee snob now? Probably not because I still rate things on \"mmm... this taste good\" scales, though I know a good cup of coffee when I have one and Shaw's Coffee Limited makes just that.", "Shaw's Coffee Ltd is a rather new find of mine, and I quite like it. It is a nice little shop that smells wonderful because they roast their own coffee. Out of all the things that I remember, the inviting smell is what I think of most often. The staff is very sweet, but can be a little soft spoken which is trouble due to my often allergy-clogged ears. The decor is cheery and relaxed, and the sofas and chairs are comfy. The inside is pretty interesting, as it used to be a bank, and I recommend checking out the vault seating! They have some really nice pastries and sweet treats to enjoy, all of which are good. Trust me, I've tried them all. \n\nThere are a lot of choices if you want to purchase bags of coffee for home brewing, but I cannot review that as I have not yet made such a purchase. I have had their in store coffee, and I really like it. You can't really go wrong here. Now, I am not an expert on coffee by any means. I know that I don't like mine too bitter, and that I sway more towards smooth and sometimes towards sweet kona. So, if you know your beans and you like my tastes, then you should really like what Shaw's Coffee serves.", "Have you ever drank coffee in an old bank vault? No? Oh, I have. Here in fact. \n\nIt's been a while since I was last in, so I'd hope you can still sit in the old bank vault with your coffee. Either way, the coffee and scone my friend brought me the other day took me back to my last visit. The coffee bold, and heart warming. The scone, cranberry, was perfect after 15 seconds in the microwave - not too dry, not too moist, and the prefect consistency to hold butter and jam. The few times i've been it has been almost empty, yet the baristas are still happy to see you walk it, like you aren't interrupting their slow period. I'll be in this region later this weekend, camera and coffee-addicted-best-friend in tow, hopefully we'll return to our bank vault.", "Out for a little 8 mile jaunt this morning (06-02-2009) on my trusty Trek Navigator I bought from craigslist, I felt the urge coming on to find a restroom. Seeing that it was only 7:30 in the morning, about the only thing open in \"The Hill\" (Italian) neighborhood was Shaw's Coffee Ltd. \n\nWhat the heck... I can always use another shot of good coffee. Too bad I didn't find it. I felt obliged to buy something seeing that I needed their restroom. Shaw's Coffee is a rustic, friendly looking place, with plenty of real wooden furniture & decor inside. Outside on the wide sidewalk is about 5 metal tables & matching chairs. It's a very quaint arrangement.\n\nEvery once in a while, I don't mind paying an over-inflated price for a good cup of coffee. ($1.84 with tax for a small.) However, when it's bitter - it's not worth 2 cents. They also sell the usual scones, bagels & cookies...at a premium price. From what I could tell, they also offer free Wi-Fi for laptop users. On the counter for your coffee is cream, sugar cubes, Sweet 'n' Low & Splenda...but no Equal. I love my Equal. \n\nIt all boils down to the bottom line though. Was the coffee smooth & rich? Sorry, nope.", "Loved everything about Shaw's Coffee. I visited Shaw's with friends for the first time in late January of this year. We stayed three to four hours, and then had to leave because they were closing! I had two great coffee drinks. The vibe was perfect. Good Music. Good décor. Loved that you could sit in the re-vamped bank vault and sip your cup of joe. Loved the massive coffee roaster with personal attendant. It added that intimate, personal feel to the whole experience. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Loved the handmade Valentine's Day decorations! (Check out the \"YOUR FACE\" picture in the photos sections of this Shaw's Coffee Yelp review.) I look forward to visiting Shaw's Coffee next time I'm in St. Louis!", "As of today, this place has become my official coffee house. Right now I'm sitting here drinking an outstandingly strong iced soy latte-- free wireless abounds. I polished off their breakfast sandwich (hold the bacon) which consists of fresh basil focaccia, scrambled eggs and sharp, white cheddar cheese. Delicious! \nAbove me the pipes are playing John Coltrane. It's audible, but not too loud. The floors are crisp, clean wood. I love the decor: stylized like a 1930's coffee roasters factory. Shaw's also has a bit of Europe in their flavor. I feel as if I could be sitting in a little shop in Switzerland or Northern Italy somewhere.\nAnd most importantly, the coffee is so good, it doesn't remind me that I'm still in St.Louis!", "I love to visit Shaw's when I'm in town.

[ "I went on the basis of the positive Yelp reviews, and was underwhelmed. I tried a few dishes (the aforementioned tomato beef chow main, the roast duck, and some seafood dish from the \"house specials\" menu). They weren't bad, but they weren't tasty enough that I'd want to eat here again. My quest for good Chinese food in Reno continues.\n\nFor those undissuaded by my review, be advised that Yelp/Google Maps puts the location of the restaurant in the wrong place: it's on the SW corner of Mae Anne and McCarran, next to the Safeway. Which makes it all the more disappointing I didn't care for it: it would be an awfully convenient place for me to grab dinner after my cross-dressing workouts at the \"Curves\" next door.", "I certainly don't pretend to be any kind of expert on \"authentic\" chinese food, but I know what I like, and this it it. If you want spicy, the mongolian beef or the general's chicken will do the trick, and when I'm feeling under the weather, I don't crave chicken noodle soup, I want hot and sour soup from here. I've never been treated rudely - on the contrary, it's almost always the wife who takes my order (it's family owned), and she knows my order and my son's order, down to my diet coke and his root beer. Its not just me, I've seen her do the same with other diners.\nIs it fine dining? No way. But does anyone seriously expect fine dining from a strip mall restaurant? It's great, and I can eat a full lunch for less than $10.", "-- Strip mall Chinese joint offers refreshingly stripped-down dining experience --\n\nThe negative reviews of this restaurant seem to miss the essence of its intent. Taiwan Restaurant is not supposed to be ostentatious or flashy; it's unobtrusive, simple, a tad spartan. It's not trying to be ambitiously appointed or anything other than a quiet retreat from the harshly-lit alternatives in this price range. I relish the absence of annoyingly calculated world music, and you should too.\n\nEat and enjoy the lack of disturbances. There is a difference between a wait staff being aloof and being respectfully distant. Taiwan Restaurant falls into the latter category every time. To wit: I'm never bugged about beverage availability. They assume I want water, and leave the pitcher on my table. Classy.\n\nWith the service and appearance out of the way, how's the grub add up? I favor the spicy eggplant with steamed rice because it's one of their meager handful of vegetarian dishes. It is consistently good, always meeting my expectations in terms of temperature, taste, and timeliness. \n\nFor $5.50, I get hot & sour soup, an eggroll, wontons, and a generous portion of their spicy eggplant. The rice is always perfect and the service exemplary if you're not looking to be relentlessly chatted up. \n\nFinal Thoughts: \nInteresting selection of imported beer. Tsingtao and Heineken bottles are $2.50 and domestic beer is only $2.00. Get an entire pot of tea for $1.50. There are many entrees under $6.", "Best Chinese food in reno!!'", "YUMMMMM.

We order orange chicken, beef with broccoli and chicken fried rice. It's amazing and we have enough for dinner and for leftovers the following day! \n\nIf you are looking for good Chinese food, you have to go here!", "I really wanted to like the Taiwan Restaurant more. It seems like it has great potential. The dishes are solidly average dishes. Not much distinctive about it.\nUsually I'll get the beef tomato chow mein. They'll add a pinch of curry like they do in other Chinese restaurants if you ask. Today I got the sliced pork with bean sprouts and the hot-and-sour soup. The soup was competently made but nothing outstanding. The sliced pork with sprouts were better but nothing to make me go all the way to northwest Reno.\nMost of the dishes seem heavily Americanized.", "After all the negatives on here I want to boost the rating. This place has great Chinese food at a reasonable price and it's as local as you can get. The family that owns it is super nice and they don't hesitate to share their culture with you.

[ "Just opened on Thurs, May 1, 2014. Great outdoor space right outside Comcast Center. Reasonably priced entrees and friendly servers.", "Went Friday for Happy Hour. Didn't try the food. Giving a 5 because the staff was so friendly. The owner came over and said hello, bartenders were attentive and the ambience was great for an outside space. This is the patio section only, the main inside restaurant doesn't open until later this year. The space is covered so even if it rains you'd be protected. Perfect place for a drink on a nice day. Next time I'll try their food.", "We went to Chops (formerly Table 31) for Center City Sips yesterday evening. Upon arrival, we waited in line for about 20 minutes while the staff checked IDs and arbitrarily allowed people in. Our group of 4 was split up at the entrance because they allowed two of us in and then made our friends wait another ten minutes. So, being the team players that we are, we went to grab drinks for the group. We bypassed the cash only/warm beer/warm wine table and went to the main bar where things took a turn for the worst. (Not a typo. The WORST).\n\nThe bartender \"working\" the far right side of the bar was ignoring the people waiting patiently in favor of a table of about ten people to the side. These people got round after round of shots, water, beer, wine, you name it - and the bartender pocketed tips from the table. I watched him take twenties and run off to get them another round. Now, I understand the economics of catering to the ballers doling out $20 tips for glasses of water, and I could respect it if he had managed to throw the normal people some attention too, but he didn't. In fact, he was blatantly rude to the \"normal\" bar patrons, shoving people out of his way so he could run to the table.\n\nYou'd think that the other 4 bartenders would spread out to accommodate the people at the neglected-redheaded-stepchild side of the bar but you'd be wrong. I gave up after about twenty minutes of waiting and went to the warm beer table. Then I left and went to Marathon because Chops clearly can't handle the Sips crowd. RIP Table 31.", "Went here for a work lunch last week, and was immediately greeted by a very old, very dapper, and very zealous maître d who lived to make sure our experience was pristine. My boss and I shared the kale salad and lobster grilled cheese, and ended with their ice cream sandwich trio. Some notes:\n\n - the kale salad was nice and refreshing, the peanut sauce gave it a unique flair. \n\n - the lobster grilled cheese was a perfect way to spend my no-salt cheat day....mmmmm, lobster and cheese all melty on toasted brioche. Definitely worth sharing, or you might go into the best cardiac arrest you've ever had. \n\n - Skip the couscous side, it was bland and room temperature. \n\n - the ice cream sandwich trio included mint chocolate chip (with fresh mint choc chip ice cream and chocolate cookies), hazelnut (nutty ice cream and similar shortbread cookies), and their take on s'mores: marshmallow ice cream with ginger/graham soft cookies. The first two were good, but the s'mores one, oh my god. It was like there was a party in my mouth, and I didn't want to invite anyone because I wanted to have all the wine and shrimp cocktail to myself. Dear Chops: I will buy all of your s'mores ice cream sandwiches, in bulk, for this lonely party I just mentioned.", "Came here for sips with friends, I think it was less crowded than normal because of the soccer game going on, but definitely not complaining! Great experience we sat down and ordered some food (edamame and burger are half price for sips), my friend ordered the burger and it was delish!\n\nLoved that it was outside! Perfect for summer!", "Made my first trip for Center City SIPS. Outdoor seating is on point. Great breeze and LOVE the fountains. Able to get a seat which was nice but felt like I was forced to order food because I was sitting. Friend got a burger and said it was awesome though. Great atmosphere, definitely will be back!", "I have been there twice. That being said, I waited for the second time to give a review. I should say everyone has been nice although they are constantly apologizing for the kitchen. \n\nThe food is very average although not bad. The first time my dish came out a solid 5 minutes after the rest of my table (salmon, which was overcooked) and too much oil on the spinach. \n\nSecond time the food was again very average (especially for $15 price point at lunch). I had the crab cake which was fine but small. They didn't serve enough rolls for people at the table, when asked if they had another they said they were baking them... they never came. It took 3 cups to get me a clean cup for coffee, this was at the direction of the waiter not me (so you know I wasn't sending stuff back complaining)... so there is that. \n\nNice people most act like they haven't worked in a restaurant before. They need to iron out the kinks but god help them when they open inside and need to run both sides of the restaurant. \n\nI won't comment on the location as it mostly caters to business lunches and the exact same venue existed for Table 31 so not really their claim to fame. \n\nGood Luck Chops", "Went here for sips. Their specialty cocktail was a cranberry pineapple vodka concoction. I know it's sips, but I expected a little better. It was premixed already and bartender served in a plastic cup filled above the rim with ice. That's a lot of ice! So if you exclude the ice, the drink so realistically a shot. And I mean a shot of juice - I couldn't taste any alcohol in it.\n\nThe outdoor patio is very cool, and the area for sips is great- outdoors, live DJ, good open space for the crowd. I wish I got to try the food, but there was nowhere open to sit. It was that crowded. \n\nI'd come back to give the food a shot, but given the drink prices, I imagine the food could be pricey too. ($8/draft IPA)", "Kale salad was delicious and the burger was great. The Cole slaw was OK but slaw is personal like potato salad. The service was excellent. The only negative was the frozen cheesecake bar. If you need to freeze your desserts find a better way to make it room temp.", "I came here with my girlfriend last week for Happy Hour. The prices were anything but Happy Hour prices, but the wine selection and food were top notch. Plus, there's nothing better than sitting outside with drinks on a lovely summer evening. We both had a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for our beverages of choice. The Chard was crisp and fragrant while the Sauvignon Blanc was fruity and subtley sweet. The waiter presented each bottle to us and made excellent recommendations. We shared the hummus plate which is was delicious. Sea salt lavash, fresh hummus, feta, olives, sundried tomato, carrots, and cucumber/roasted red peppers. It was flavorful and filling yet light. The service was top notch as the managers were always walking around the ensure satisfaction. I can't wait to go back." ]

[ "Drove from Clearwater to try this place - and it was worth it! Tried two pizzas: the Bianco (red onion, fresh mozz., grated grana padano, pistachios, rosemary and olive oil); and the Raquel, to which we added caramelized onions, mushrooms and prosciutto de Parma. Both were excellent, but the Bianco was especially good - as long as you love rosemary. The dough is particularly tasty - perhaps even slightly sweet. The crusts were very thin in the center, with a nice char on the edges. Staff was very friendly, as was the owner who works non-stop creating those great pizzas. A little advice: bring your own wine ($5 corkage) - they're expecting their liquor license in September; and you should call to reserve your \"dough balls\". They ran out Saturday and had to turn away some customers. We actually tried to order a dessert pizza (with Nutella), but they were out of dough - so our server comped us a couple of canolli - very nice. We complemented the owner (Peter) as we were leaving. He seemed quite appreciative, asking me to review him on Yelp - so here it is!", "I had the pleasure of dining at Wood Fired Pizza a few nights ago. The first thing I noticed in this restaurant is the very nice decor. The place is a little dark decorated with photos of Sofia Loren when she was young and gorgeous (she still is, of course). The tables have candles on them that the waiter promptly lit. We had a delicious pizza with prosciutto that was fabulous. For one thing, both of us ate and were satisfied, without getting the horrible feeling one gets after eating greasy and horrible pizza from places like Dominoes. This is a place where you feel you can enjoy your food with friends-no rush. The service was excellent. We even got complimentary glasses of wine. The one thing that would make this place better, in my opinion, would be a nice wine list. I think the place deserve to have one. Ahh, let me not forget to say that prices are reasonable and that USF students and staff get 10% discount. My review is: maraviglioso!!!!", "Insanely good pizza - I haven't had it this good since my last trip to Florence! This pizza is not greasy and is super thin, which I love, with a really tasty crust. \n\nLike pizza in Italy, one can easily devour an entire 14\" pizza by oneself; buy two!\n\nWe had the Sophia and the Raquel. This pizza will haunt your dreams.", "I pity Martha. I imagine her working as a server for Anthony's Coal Fired and watching her tips plummet after the first restaurant preview was published in Creative Loafing. I find it interesting that a few days after Peter's new restaurant gets a rave \"preview\" in a respected local publication, Martha surfaces just long enough to put forth an obviously slanted, bitter and easily disproven rant on Yelp. My wife and I have eaten at Wood Fired Pizza every Saturday since the full review appeared in Creative Loafing. On our first visit, we arrived 20 minutes after they had closed for lunch. However, after telling Peter that we had driven 30 miles from Clearwater, he graciously stayed open and treated my wife and I like old friends. On this visit we had both the Raquel and the Carnivore exactly as they appear on the menu and each were fantastic. It was actually quite embarrassing to be in the restaurant by ourselves as there were no other customers to drown out our sounds of pleasure. The ingredients used seemed as if I had driven all over town to get the best of everything. The meats were so flavorful and unique I felt that I had gotten them from a little Italian deli that makes everything fresh. The cheese tasted like I had driven out to the country to a small dairy that does nothing but make their own cheese, then on my way back from the dairy I found a farm that grows their own seedless tomatoes. Luckily, I didn't have to do all of this because Peter already has done this for me. This and more because I didn't even go into the special yeast and bottled water and three kinds of wood. Be sure to check out his web site to gain a full respect for the work and research that Peter has done to make the best pizza that I have ever eaten and the only pizza that I have consistently driven 60 miles to eat. The only problem that I have is that I can't reproduce Peter's work at home. I would love to order several pizzas and eat for a week but even though they have boxes, they shouldn't, because it's just not the same out of my fridge. On our subsequent visits, we have played around with the toppings and remain consistently impressed with everything. Please be sure to try the Hummus. My wife doesn't even like Hummus but she is going to ask for a quart to go on our next visit. It is better than any I have gotten from even the best Greek restaurant. We have every intention on working our way through the menu and every combination that we can get Peter to agree to make.", "This place is the real deal. I have been twice since I found it a couple weeks ago..once with a friend, once with my girlfriend.\nThe pizza is great and there is a reason for that--the owner does not cut corners! You can be sure that your pie is made from the freshest ingredients--San Marzano tomatoes, organic herbs, homemade mozzarella.\nI have had 3 of their pizza's the Raquel(their signature pie), The Carnivore, and the Icarusi. All of these pies were great. The Raquel is a perfect example of what pizza is supposed to be!\nIf you are looking for pasta--too bad. This place focuses on having the best wood fired pizza.\nThere is passion and heart in this pizza restaurant, that is for sure.", "This is probably the best pizza you are going to find in Tampa, and quite frankly I was very surprised to find some Za of this quality here. Outside of New York and Chicago I am usually very skeptical when someone recommends pizza (Portland, OR gets a friendly mention for good pizza becuase some ex-new yorkers moved there and opened up pie shops). When my buddy Harvey said i had to try this place i said \"Whatever\", but he was spot on (big ups to HAR-oy-vey for finding this little gem in Tampax, FL). If only I could have given it 4.5 stars i would have.\n\nAnyway, the restaurant had a very friendly owner who was making the pizza's in a huge wood burning over that was sitauted in the corner. While we watched him make the pizz, he discussed the fresh ingredients he grows and uses, as well as the homemade mozzarella. I'm telling you Tampa, you have a little gem here that you better support; enjoy it or lose it.\n\nSo the pizza comes hot out of the oven, and man o man that was some damn good crust. It was slighlty burned but still dought, with the right amount of oil to make you want to lick your fingers. I ate a whole pie in the blink of an eye. Seriously! I tried two different pizza's and both were excellent. We also ordered the hummus appetizer which came with freshly cooked pizza dough. Good stuff!\n\nThey didn't have a liqour license yet when i was there, but they were working on getting it. Bring your own booze, pay a small corkage fee and don't wine about it becuase you will be saving little money anyway.\n\nI'm going back tonight. Oh snap!", "This place is the bomb and Pete rocks! After 3 visits in as many weeks (the last one with 6 fellow pizza lovers), take it from this native New Yorker: When in Tampa, you absolutely must stop by. (Yeah, even Ariel was impressed. And my man Rick loved it too.) Pete is a no-holds-barred pizzaficiando who is obsessed with authenticity and quality. The flour is from Italy, the mozzaralla house-made and the tomatoes...San Marzano, of course. Sophia and Raquel peer down at you from their photos on the walls while you eat their namesake pies. Oh...and you have to try the Rosa. Unique and unusual in a delicious way: rosemary, ground pistachio nuts, EVOO. Mmmm, mmmm good! Next time I'm in town I will be back for sure. \n\nAnd, as Mrs. Clemenza, said: Don't forget the cannoli! (If you're not stuffed.) Bravissimo!", "Lived in ny, la and boston. This is better than john's, spago or regina. An absolute must if you are in tampa.", "If you fancy yourself a pizza lover, you absolutely need to get over to Wood Fired Pizza Wine Bar. (Actually, this is a small and rather pleasant restaurant, not so much a bar.) The artisan in charge is an expert...a world class pizza maker. We are ever so lucky to have him and his 2000 degree wood-fired oven in the Bay area. Normally one would have to travel to Naples, or at least New York, to get a pizza anywhere near this authentic and delicious. Do yourself a real favor and drive on over to this amazing little place. You will love the pizza!", "Back in town for a week and this place was a priority. They have their liqour license and have put in better lighting. How much better can it get. Pizza is still great.

[ "My friend & I, who travelled Italy together, were en route to The Spice Corner, our bellies bemoaning the lack of authentic trattorias in Philadelphia's Italian Market. Nina's was a spot of delicious calm in the bustling, Saturday afternoon, anxiety instilling, Market. We were greeted at the door of Nina's Trattoria & were made immediately comfortable. Nina's offers the same menu for lunch & dinner, with the option of smaller portions at half price. \"Anything you want, we'll make,\" I was told when questioning the lack of panini on the menu. A bottle of Acqua Panna & sliced Sarcone's seeded bread started the meal's perfecto tone. My guest ordered gnocchi pomodoro, which were exquisitely light & perfect for lunch because the primary ingredient is ricotta cheese, not potato. (Gnocchi can be served al olio, gorgonzola, or any way preferred.) I had grilled radicchio dressed in light olive oil & brussels sprouts with pancetta. The radicchio was smokey, pancetta crisp & salty: everything just right. We shared the asparagus patties. They were crisped, not oily, & full of delicate flavor & texture; the recipe was the restaurant namesake's most popular! We sampled 2 desserts: the chocolate hazelnut pie (like a truffle on pie crust!) & the ricotta cheesecake (better than my grandmother's!) Never shy at a table, we finished everything right down to the last blackberry garnish. Upstairs features a crisp, clean private dining room/banquet facility with a fireplace & private rest room.", "So, Grandma and I pretty much have a standing lunch/errands date on Friday. My grandma is an awesome, eccentric 96 year old who has been all over the world, done all sorts of crazy things, and still has the catty wit that runs through the x chromosome in my family. \n\nAnyway, this past Friday we went to Nina's for the second time. We were originally introduced to Nina's through the owner of the Spice shop across the alley (which we also L O V E).\n\nWe went for lunch both times so the place was pretty empty, which was actually very nice. The gentlemen that have been there both times have been so lovely to us. The owner remembered grandma, and of course conversation ensued. \n\nThe food is amazing. We usually stick to seafood and pasta. This time we ordered a cheese plate to start, and they actually ran across the street to the fruit mart to get figs for the plate!!! The cheese plate was delicious, a semi-soft cow, a gorgonzola, and a hard pecorino-ish cheese. There were figs, hazelnuts and a delicious vinagrette dressed arugula salad on the plate as well.\n\nThis time, I had the fish stew which had a delish fennel saffron broth with clams, mussels, and a white fish. Grandma had linguine with mussels, and it was delicious. \n\nAnyway, the prices are a bit steep, but IT IS a byo, so that makes it more reasonable.\n\nI would definitely recommend it.", "Within hours of arriving in Philadelphia on business, a colleague had made reservations for our group at Nina's Trattoria. Attorney Nicholas Nastasi opened the restaurant in late October 2010 and named it for his mother. The restaurant features many of her original Italian recipes. \n\nIt was wonderful getting to know Nick and be on the receiving end of his passion for fine Italian cooking. His chef made a delightful gnocchi sans potatoes that was delicious. Beet tart with gorgonzola was another standout starter as was the sauted radicchio. \n\nI had a delicious eggplant parmigiana and my friends had pumpkin ravioli, pork chop, fish prepared tableside, and yet more gnocchi. Everyone was more than happy!\n\nAs the other reviewers have noted, Nina's Trattoria is located on a wonderful block surrounded by authentic Italian shops, coffee houses and more. The neighborhood has Old World roots that give it a great feel, and I expect more wonderful dining destinations like Nina's Trattoria to appear here.\n\nIf you're headed there for dinner, BYO wine and your appetite.", "Being a fairly new restaurant, I was quite surprised when the owner, Nick, greeted my parents by name. This was their 4th visit to Nina's Trattoria in the approximately two months it's been open. \n\nThe restaurant appeared half-empty when we entered, but for good reason: they were getting ready to seat a party of 14! \n\nThe dining room was of modest decor; soothing colors, old family photos, and a partially-open kitchen. I sat facing the window and had a nice view of the shops across the street in the 9th Street Italian Market.\n\nWe were served bread with olive oil and complimentary stuffed mushroom caps while placing our orders for appetizers. Our wine ('05 Sangiovese) was opened and poured as we waited for our grilled leeks, grilled radicchio, homemade ricotta gnocchi, and something I have never had before called faggoletti (fazzoletti). \n\nThe appetizers were of ample size; the filling in the faggoletti was creamy and smooth, the gnocchi were fresh and softer than regular potato gnocchi, and the grilled leeks and radicchio were phenomenal. The vegetables, even grilled, were not wilted, and our discussion turned on how to find seasonal vegetables this fresh in winter.\n\nMy dad ordered the grilled veal, which came on a bed of fantastically fresh arugula with capers. My mom ordered the orata, a Mediterranean fish that was flown in from Greece that morning. Their meals were on par with every dish that they had ordered there to date; excellent.\n\nI ordered the pork osso bucco, which is considerably larger than its veal cousin. The meat was cooked to perfection, and was falling away from the bone. It sat on a bed of creamy porcini risotto, and was nicely seasoned. \n\nUnfortunately, I had had my fill before the osso bucco arrived, and was about ten bites into it before I had to admit defeat. It made for a great late-night Christmas Eve snack while watching Irving Berlin tap away across the TV screen.\n\nConsidering 3 people had 3 main dishes, 4 appetizers, an espresso and a shared dessert (enough for 3), the bill wasn't unreasonable, and the food and especially the service made a good enough impression to become my gold standard for tasty, authentic Italian food.\n\nA couple notes: The menu last night differed a bit from the menu posted on their website, and as with many vendors and shops in the Italian Market, they too will no longer be accepting credit cards. Make sure you hit the ATM before you get there!", "What a night. Service with a smile... cause they know the food will have u drooling.... We finally had the time to check this place out. Table side service and a visit from the owner allows u to feel like family in this small very warm and comfortable spot. The food was delivered hot quick and most of all mouth wateringly tasty. We could not get enough of that amazingly fresh tomato sauce. A new favorite that u are best to check out before there starts to be a line and u cant get in!", "Amazing. We stumbled in here for lunch this weekend, looking for normal sandwiches or soup, and what we got was so incredible, it was worth the dinner price-tag. The off-menu gnocchi in a white garlic sauce was generally portioned and reasonably pried. The pumpkin ravioli was the best use of pumpkin I've ever eaten. \n\nI basically would go here again in a heart beat. And am very very excited to take friends and family alike.", "This restaurant was a nightmare..from start to finish! There are plenty of other BYOBs in Philly and this one cannot compare in any way! We were seated, greeted by a waiter, asked about water, and then he proceeded to give us \"one slice of italian bread\" on our plate!! This is definitely a no-no in South Philly!! We want a loaf or at least a plate with italian bread that we can all share!! Then we had a few questions regarding the menu...he stumbled and couldnt explain some of the entrees?? The food was just okay...eggplant parm, pasta & artichokes....then the finale was the do not take credit cards! Thumbs down on this one!!", "I recently went here for lunch with my roommate while buying everything in the Italian market. The food was unbelievable with a standout being the asparagus patties which were unreal. The owner who is also the chef came over multiple times throughout the meal to check on us and explain the dishes as the came. I would recommend this establishment to anyone and it is a great date spot.", "Very unimpressed with the food. Came in for Sunday lunch and they were out of a few of the signature dishes. The gnocchi was above average, but the rabbit was overcooked, rubbery, and very bony with little meat.\nI really wanted to like the place and I hope they do better in the future, but I will not be visiting again for awhile.", "A 10 out of 10!\n\nI live in Florida and travel up to Phila very often, sometimes weekly. I am half Italian and grew up with an Italian mother who is an excellent cook as is my wife and sets the bar very, very high. We always seek out great italian restaurants, and with Nina's we hit the jackpot. The food on a 1 - 10 scale was a 9.9. The fresh hand made pasta's, the the sauce/gravy, the specials, and the very home style attentive service makes this place now our ONLY destination for Italian food. It was like being in Italy. Bring your own favorite Malticino or Brunello and you'll be blown away! \n\nFYI - there was 5 of us, with extra orders of pasta, the bill was only $120. Now that's a deal!\n\nLove this place and will recommend to everyone. Don't put it off, you'll love it!!!" ]

I highly recommend it!!", "Ryan Crown is the Stephen Starr of juicing. Best juice in town!", "A few months back, I discovered Ryan Crown's Juice Club (RCJC) after coming out from a nearby gym. Ever since then, I've become a very happy regular, and here's why:\n\n1. RCJC makes juices fresh and made-to-order: \nJuices are best consumed immediately after being made while the nutritional power is at its maximum. So right after my workouts, I go straight to Ryan for a juice. My regulars are the organic carrot juice or the coconut. When i say coconut, i mean fresh, not from the can. Fresh coconuts are actually an obsession of mine with the sweet electrolyte-rich water and coconut meat. Ryan turns it into a wicked meal combining it with banana and hemp seeds, yum!\n\n2. Ryan and his crew are very knowledgable: From Day 1, I was so impressed with Ryan's knowledge base and personal experiences as a lifestyle juicer. It makes a huge difference knowing that he really is *into* juicing, does his research, loves the science and art of recipes, knows precisely what the benefits are of each ingredient he puts in his juices, keeps up with legislation regarding food standards in the U.S., and knows the importance of maintaining the right pH balance in the body. \n\n3. RCJC is super friendly and educates customers: Ryan's storefront always has something new going on, it never looks exactly the same each time I walk by. He weaves educational elements seamlessly into the fun, quirky design. He takes the time to talk with people. For those who are interested and ready to take their nutritional health to the next level, Ryan points them to resources, including documentaries, books, and subject matter experts in nutrition, so from there they can do their own research and make more informed decisions on healthy eating.\n\nAs a Philly native, I'm so excited to see RCJC flourishing and doing its part in raising health-consciousness here!", "I just completed a 3-day cleanse that entailed consuming all raw foods and drinking some really amazing juice that Ryan whipped up for me. Prior to the cleanse, he asked me what my detox goals were and customized a juice to drink 3x a day. It was cool to see what he would come up with each day; I'd take a sip and exclaim \"This is really good! What is it!!!\". Surprisingly, this man can make celery juice taste really good! My roommate embarked on this juicing journey with me, so it was fun to see what he'd made for her and compare notes, so to speak.\n\nRyan was a supportive, completely positive and inspiring guide throughout the cleanse, giving me lots of helpful hints and encouragement along the way. If you're looking to detox after the holidays, jumpstart a diet or gain a new perspective on food, this is definitely a route to consider.", "Best juice bar in Philadelphia! I love the lemon ginger blast and the thai coconut meal!!!!! Ryan crown is the juice Boss of philadelphia for real---", "Best juice bar in Philly! I'm a student here, if this place were closer to where I go to school I might not ever eat solid foods again.", "Ryan has volumes of knowledge about juicing and healthy living and he's more than willing to share that knowledge as you enjoy a refreshing, highly nutritious, and delicious juice at his awesome juice bar in the heart of Philadelphia!\n\nThis morning he made me a raw protein packed smoothie and it was excellent!! I'll be a member of Ryan Crown's Juice Club for many years to come!", "RCJC deserves every star! Not only are all the juices awesome, but the staff is super cool and so nice! They always offer their knowledge are more than willing to share all the information they are armed with! Their customized drinks are made to order and made with the freshest ingredients right in front of you!! The prices are completely fair!\nTry the Life Regnerator- it is one of my favs!!!" ]

I like the old donut shops...the ones filled with plastic tables and a huge glass counter with a rainbow of different donuts. That's what this place is.

It's fantastic to be able to drive to Jelly's and find them open late at night. \n\nThe selection is great and the prices are low. It's everything you could want from a donut place. \n\nMy personal favorite is the big glazed cinnamon coil donut! I like to uncoil it and break off small pieces.

This one does. They have glazed, maple and chocolate. I'm a purist. I got one and it was delicious. They were out of glazed so I got chocolate (I wish it were glazed). It's a small simple place by a somewhat scary laundry mat. \n\nI'm so glad I don't live near this place. Losing weight is hard enough! This would be my first choice to get donuts if I did live in Reno.", "hate to start out on a bad note, but I love donuts when I'm on vacation, and I must say this was the second worse shop I've ever walked into.\n\nWent 4 miles out of my way due to the reviews here. Saturday morning around 8:30. Shop was in a pretty seedy part of town, but looked past that, its the inside that counts.\n\nDirty, expensive, and the jelly I got and the fritter my son had were not made that day. Poor selection, coffee was bitter, and as we drove off realized the OJ was sour. I barked at my son as to why he didnt drink it (I was pretty frustrated) and took a gulp for myself, hadnt tasted spoiled OJ since I was a kid. yuk.\n\nWas going to turn around and ask for a refund, but time was running out for the bike races we were in town for, thought I'd just vent here.", "LOVE their donuts! Parking pretty much sucks because it is pretty small and busy with the laundry mat. But the donuts are great. Donuts seem pretty standard, right? No, I have had ICKY cream filled donuts elsewhere. This place is great!", "Cambodians in the US have often taken over donut shops... it seems they don't eat donuts though and it shows... go taste a real donut in Los Angeles etc and you'll see what you're missing... this place was a Winchell's long ago and they no doubt used much tastier ingredients back then" ]

Both of which were delicious and made me feel as if I was back home. The store is clean and the workers are very kind. You could actually taste the freshness of the ingredients, unbelievable! I will definitely be back with more of my friends.

I was surprised to find the place already packed for lunch, the server was very friendly taking our order and accommodating our picky demands. I heard from a friend that the falafel sandwich are the real deal. I thought I would have to check it out myself. Since I went with couple of friends we decided to order a variety of sandwiches and we asked them to cut each one in three pieces so we can share with each other. The first sandwiche was the chicken shawarma with garlic and pickled cucumber; it was made with baguette bread and pressed like a Cubana sandwich. I loved it. I would order it next time without the onion. The second sandwich was falafel with tahini sauce, tomatoes, pickled turnip, it was the real deal! they also made it with baguette, but you can order it with pita bread instead. The third sandwich was kofta kebab with pickle and tahini sauce and lettuce, it was pretty good, but I would have preferred it without the lettuce. Overall, our lunch experience at the new falafel join was beyond our expectations, let's hope they will keep it this way. I am definitely going back.", "Best shawerma and falafel in town, one of few places in the U.S that make them as good as overseas.", "Very healthy shawarma. Had the chicken platter. It came on a bed of lettuce. This is healthy- less carbs! The chicken was flavorful. The side Turkish salad was awesome. Super friendly service. A star down for the spartan decor. But the place was clean.", "Best falafel in town I highly recommend this place if you have a taste for authentic falafel. The shawarma is also the best I've had anywhere in Tampa. The owner is very friendly and the Resturant was clean.", "Pretty darned good! I'm spoiled by Alladin's in CLE, but this place is worth a stop if you're in the mood for shawarma or Shish Taouk. They have a \"bar\" of pickled veggies and veggies so you can select whichever topping you want. Also, you have your choice between white and spicy sauce.\nThe pita they use is hefty enough to be stuffed but totally soft and delicious. I had pickles, purple cabbage and lettuce. All veggies were FRESH and very crisp. I'm used to a more garlicky white sauce but theirs was ok. \nSandwiches are probably enough for lunch... They were for me today, which is good as they lack options for \"sides\". Fries are on the menu and we got some for the kids - but not much else outside of rice or hummus. \nWe tried the falafel. It was heavy on the spices and had a great exterior crunch. I liked it, family was not a fan. Maybe serving with white sauce would have helped for them. Oh well, more for me! :)\nDefinitely worth a try. The area lacks great MidEast food and Mays can help fill the gap.", "Friendly staff, fresh food (mainly pitas and wraps) and toppings. Customize your falafel or meat wrap to your liking. Employees are happy to provide suggestions. Need something to accompany your sandwich? Try a side of hummus. Goes well with everything here. Sort of like the middle-eastern version of ranch. Large new neon signs make this spot easy to find on 56th street, especially during the evening. Prices are reasonable. Families with (little) kids may have an overall better experience here during the day as the younger crowd tend to take over at night. Regardless of what time of day or night you're there, however, you'll leave full and satisfied.", "This place is over rated on yelp. I bought 1 shawarma and 1 falafel roll, and both were cold. The shawarma tasted good, but falafel was less than average.", "Open till 2 a.m on the weekends, amazing halal food. Served fresh, authentic philly steak, will not disappoint.

They cover this by having a lot across the street and one a block down. Just be aware that there is a house that has both feral cats and a raccoon behind the location. \n\nWe stopped in for brunch, something new they are offering, and we were a bit surprised. It was a brunch as in offering breakfast & lunch, not a buffet. That's ok, there were some interesting offerings on the menu! The first thing we noticed is that (almost) everything had either bourbon or bacon in the ingredient list. YUMMY. They were not offering the full menu either, but they were offering some fantastic drink specials on Bloody Marys, Mimosas and bellini's. \n\nWe placed our orders: The husbeast got the Cinnamon stack pancakes and I got the Fried chicken toast plate, and we waited while we sipped our drinks. I chose a peach bellini - ($6 all you can drink- I would NOT recommend it) and the hubster got himself a cider. \n\nWhen the food came it was delivered on very pretty plate, but we were hungry and I forgot to take pics. I did take pictures AFTER we'd started eating. HEH. Anyway, the hubs got three large, but thin pancakes layered with bacon and topped with fresh fruit and a bourbon sauce - though he requested the sauce on the side. By the way he ate it, I can tell he liked it. \n\nMy food was good, the 3 large slices of french toast were fried, and served with 2 large chicken tenders (they called it southern style fried chicken, but lets be honest, it's chicken tenders) and maple syrup. The French toast was some of the best I've eaten. Because it was fried, it was not soggy, it was evenly done, and so good. \n\nAt the end of the meal, we opted to NOT get dessert, but we could have had a bacon plate (candied bacon to dip into chocolate) or cereal sushi, among a few other things. I'll try something next time." ]

[ "I was super excited when I came back to campus to find that a new restaurant was on campus. Although I never had a chance to eat at Nan, Penn was really lacking in Vietnamese cuisine and a new place is always welcome.\n\nI went with three other friends for an early evening Saturday dinner and the place was relatively empty. We were quickly seated and given glasses of water. The menu itself is pretty expansive, with a wide range of Vietnamese dished. I skipped right to the pho menu because I was really in the mood for a hot bowl of noodles. I ended up getting the large beef brisket pho.\n\nThe dishes took about 10 minutes to come out, but they were all piping hot. Accompanied with the pho were portions of limes, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and basil sprigs. The broth was very tasty and was as salty as other places I've been. I also really appreciated the strong onion undertones. Just fyi, the large is LARGE. Although there wasn't as much meat as I would've liked, close to half the bowl was full of noodles. I ended up needing to take some of it home. My friends also got the pho, the summer roll, as well as bun, which reminded me of a Vietnamese style bim bim bop but with rice noodles. I didn't get to try them, but they seemed to enjoy their entrees and appetizers.\n\nThe ambiance was a interesting. It was a relatively quiet venue and the playlist was almost strictly 90's pop and R&B. Throughout dinner, conversation was constantly interrupted with, \"oh wow, haven't heard this one in a while,\" and \"this was my jam in middle school.\" It's not a good or bad thing, it was just... interesting.\n\nOverall, a great dining experience and I would definitely go again with some friends. It's about time we've gotten some decent pho on campus and this place fits the bill!\n\nPros: price, LARGE portions, authentic flavors\nCons: very quiet ambiance\n\nDishes to try: Pho", "I'd call this Chinese Cuisine not Vietnamese Cuisine. A lot more expensive than other Vietanmese restaurant ( but I take it that it's the only in the district )\nThe food is just average, but I won't call this authentic", "My computer now has about 10 tabs open for \"how to make pho\"...purely because I don't want to be the awkward person showing up at Saigon Cuisine for every meal. \n\nSeriously, it's that good. After reading Ben W.'s review, and realizing how stupidly close it was to my apartment, I headed over for an early dinner on Sunday. The beef brisket pho was so delicious-the broth is perfect for a cold winter day and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I just went back for lunch today and the beef eye is even better; I highly recommend it. With any pho, you get a 1 qt container of soup, and a takeout box full of noodles, sprouts, hot sauce, peppers, and lime. I'm not the biggest fan of the sprouts, but try putting some of the lime in!\n\nService for takeout was quick and friendly-I was in and out in under 5 minutes. The first time I went, there was no one in the store but today there were at least a few tables. As soon as the Penn community hears about it, I think this place will be packed. Between here and Ramen Bar, there's no contest.", "This place opened relatively recently, but I've been here twice so far and it was pretty tasty both times!\n\nThe first time I got the bun, which (contrary to what may be popular belief) is not actually a bun with some filling. I was pleasantly surprised by a decent-sized bowl of rice noodles with vegetables and grilled pork. The veggies were pretty fresh and the pork was cooked to my liking - a bit charred but not dry - and it had a really nice slightly-sweet-but-still-savory flavor. The sauce (not sure if it was soy sauce, fish sauce, a combination of the two, or neither) brought it all together. I also had the fresh Vietnamese spring rolls with peanut sauce as an appetizer - typical but good.\n\nThere weren't too many people there that time (presumably because it had just opened), so it was pretty quiet, but they were playing some 90's throwback hits, which I appreciated.\n\nThe second time I got the pho. I haven't really had too much pho to compare it to, but it was definitely satisfying; I chose the round-eye slightly-cooked beef and it came with jalapenos, bean sprouts, lime, and mint on the side. Their small is more than enough to fill you up and still have some left over - great for lunch the next day. We also realized that this place is a BYO, so we had some wine with dinner, which was nice. My friend's glass had a lipstick stain on it - no bueno - but they were quick to replace it. There were more people there this time (I think it might've been a full house), so word's definitely spreading that this place is worth checking out.\n\nOverall, above-average Vietnamese food at decent prices - and considering it's literally across the street from my apartment, I'll most likely be back! (I'd probably get the bun again or try one of their rice dishes...)", "The food here is very solid. The prices are very reasonable. I had the \"small\" pho and it seemed fairly large. The broth was light and flavorful and everything seemed very fresh. \n\nThe service is really efficient. What more could you ask for?", "Well, first of all, this place is more like a Chinese restaurant than a Vietnamese one. The menu has a lots of categories, which is usually uncommon in Vietnamese restaurant. If you want to have pho, this is not a good choice. There're only 5 items under the pho category, and these will be served within 5 mins after you place the order. The brooth is so-so, not as tasty as I experienced in other Vietnamese restaurant. Consider its price, it's totally not worth it. A huge bow with a large amount of pho but with only few beef, selling at price $8.50.\n\nI give 3.5 out of 5 for its taste, but consider its price, I give 3 stars in the end.", "Middle of the road vietnamese place. Vietnam Cafe a bit more west is much better in my opinion. This one has the benefit of being right next to the school and much easier to get to. Fish cakes were great, pho was good but nothing mind blowing. Prices were reasonable, but I've seen better at other Vietnamese places. I'd come here again.", "I got lemongrass pork on rice noodles.

Attractive interior.\n\nI was a little sad to see it rather empty 1pm... I'll be rooting for business to pick up!\n\nPS. I wish they had Banh mi sandwiches!", "The only reason they are getting one star is because Yelp doesn't have zero. I was in a super good mood when I walked in, because I just got a new fish and I can't wait to put in my bowl. Well, I guess I really shouldn't have waited. Here's the reason why I walked out with super bad mood:\n\nFood: TERRIBLE! I ordered \"seafood lemon grass soup\", and I couldn't taste any lemon grass at all. The veg and seafood are obviously from the FROZEN bags, and the pho is sticking to each other. If I use this $11 dollars to buy frozen seafood and veg, pho and tom yum paste, I can easily feed six people.\n\nService: EVEN WORSE! THEY THREW AWAY MY FOOD!!!!! Ok, to be fair, the tall guy is very attentive so I like him, but I seriously don't know what other people are doing. This one girl, has been talking on the phone the whole time when I was there. I asked her to pack my remaining soup up, and she THREW MY FOOD AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She did only one thing, and she messed it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nOther: Although their menu is in Chinese, I don't know if they are Chinese or not. I'm a native speaker of Cantonese and Mandarin, and understand a lot of other languages and dialogues, but I just couldn't understand what they were speaking.\n\nI sincerely recommend AGAINST this place! They are NOT worth any of your money or time!", "Saigon is a nice addition to campus, and it's definitely on my list of places to consider for lunch. \n\nThe menu seems to suffer from a little bit of an identity crisis (they purport to be Vietnamese, but the menu is a kind of hybrid of Americanized Chinese dishes [General Tso] and Vietnamese dishes, like spring rolls and Pho). I recommend going with one of the noodle dishes. I got the BBQ beef with ho fun and found it to be delicious. The noodles with gigantic, flat rice noodles and had an awesome airy texture to them. At $12, it was not a bad price. My friend got the general tso, which I tasted and found to be just OK. It was nicely crispy, but the sauce committed the cardinal sin of general tso: you could taste the ketchup. \n\nI will now do something outrageous and dedicate an entire (albeit short) paragraph to the chicken spring rolls. These were really, really good, and I think they might be homemade. Highly recommend. End of paragraph. \n\nService was very pleasant and efficient, and the space is nice, if austere. \n\nWould come back. End of transmission." ]

You can mix and match 5 for $7, or get one of the combo deals. \n\nNoodles for vegetarians: portobello mushrooms and veggies can be substituted for any meat. To be honest, I hope they consider adding more mushrooms and also add tofu as an option, as vegetarians still need a good protein source. \n\nA very good start, but I would like to see more tofu or seitan options for vegetarians in the future. \n\nIf you want authentic, go to Chinatown. If you want a twist on dumplings with fun flavors like cheesesteak, peach cobbler or cheesecake (!), check this place out!", "Stopped in here today as we were walking around Queen Village. Bright and creative space to which we were welcomed by counter person Mya and Church (?). the cook. We had steamed Asian pork dumplings and as an indulgence, fried Shrimp and Grits dumplings. Both were very tasty, but I think I liked the Asian pork best, perhaps because they were steamed which made them delightfully chewy. \nShrimp and grits took me back to my youth in the south and my Grandma's shrimp and grits. We will be back to try the salads and noodle bowls and the other flavors of dumplings too. Great addition to the neighborhood.", "This place has great deals and really big portions. I liked the Asian pork dumpling a lot and the buffalo chicken was good but the others we ordered were pretty terrible (Cauliflower, honey chipotle, and cheesesteak). It might just be my preference but the textures were really unappealing and the flavors were not good. \n\nThe watermelon and arugula salads was really tasty and the buffalo chicken noodles were huge. \n\nThe dumplings are definitely not made fresh so it might be a good idea to listen to Philly mag and just stop by for a bag of frozen ones to keep at home for late night snacks.", "They have a great selection of dumplings! All of them taste very yummy. I will definitely come back here!", "Pick the filling of your choice, stuff into a wonton wrapper, and deep fry it. Yes! That's basically what it was. It is a smart concept but nothing special and out of this world. It was worth trying but again, it did not \"WOW\" me. If you are craving deep fried wonton, this may replenish your craving. If not, save yourself $7 for 5 deep fried wontons.\n\nOverall, great customer service and individuals. Also, nice space and vibe.", "Awesome dumplings and great service!\n\nIf you've never been here you need to check it out.", "The dumplings are delicious, and the service is fantastic.

They also have Roman Wraps, big deli pickles. Butternut squash soup. was sweet (but cold - maybe it was supposed to be?). Kids subs were good ( we had ham and cheese and pizza ) the come with drink and chips ( or pickle or potato salad). The Green Turkey sub was good.", "My boyfriend introduced me to Planet Sub in Chandler when we were visiting his parents. I had no idea they were opening one here in Tucson until I saw a Groupon for the place. I bought three of them! I hope they will open a location on the Northwest side or more central; the location is not convenient for me. I hope they do well; it seems that area is growing up with Dave and Buster's and the new theater.\n\nMy boyfriend likes the meatball grinder and the beefeater. I have always ordered the green turkey; it has turkey, bacon, tomatoes, cream cheese, sprouts, salsa, and guacamole. The subs are served on house-made wheat bread, which is soft and fresh-tasting. You can also order your sandwich on gluten-free bread or in a tortilla or lettuce wrap. This would be a great place for people with dietary restrictions, and they have a good selection of vegetarian options as well.\n\nA half-size of any sandwich is plenty for me, or I will order a full size and save half of it for later. I'd expect to pay about $10-12 per person, depending on if you get a side or a drink. I just ordered the sandwich and got water, but they have bottled drinks as well as a Coke Freestyle machine. They offer chips, cookies, and pickles for sides. I read they also have soup on the menu, which changes daily, but I didn't take notice of it on my visit.\n\nThere were two guys working when I was in. They were both very friendly, and the place was clean.", "So I have to start by saying THANK YOU SO MUCH to the owner for rectifying a previous order..got the DAGWOOD'S DREAM this time and it was delicious.. menu has a good selection and subs can be cold or toasted which is a good option. All in all I will go back cuz I have to try other sub options.", "The best sub and sandwich place inside of the Market Place Area suitable for anyone! They offer some of most extensive vegan and vegetarian options in the zip code. Subs run around $9 for whole subs but they do have daily specials on weekdays. Like $6 veggie whole sub Thursdays. Incredible friendly and helpful staff. My coworkers love the meat options. Definitely recommend this place for any situation. Can't wait until they start stocking tempeh!", "I love the service here. The owner happened to help me. Today's special is foot long for $6.99. I was happily surprised that they have gluten free option here. And even happier that she threw it in so I could try it out. It's delicious for it to be gluten free! And very generous portions. I believe that it's longer than a foot long! They even have a few wraps available. Veggie and seafood options. I'm definitely returning. they make their bread daily there.\n\nI was also told that those people who have tried gluten free from there, feel better afterwards compared to the normal breads. They only have limited supply of it daily. Once they are out of it, that's it. \n\nWould be an awesome place to cater from.", "I really like Planet Sub so it makes me sad, but I have to dock them a star based on my last visit. I was thrilled to see they were on Groupon and bought three vouchers. The first time I tried using one, the cashier didn't know how it worked, but they took it without question.\n\nOn my most recent visit, I was grabbing dinner to go for my boyfriend and myself. I ordered a Big Dipper for him and a half Green Turkey for myself and specified the order was to go. The cashier was a really young kid who seemed very clueless. He asked a female worker how to do everything. When I presented my phone to use the Groupon, the kid once again asked her what to do and she said \"We don't take those.\" I was confused; I know how Groupon works and they kinda have to take them. She said, \"I'm sorry but an employee put us on Groupon and he wasn't authorized to do so. You'll have to contact Groupon.\" I was annoyed. My order was $18 and change, which is pricey for two sandwiches. I might not have come without a Groupon or special deal.\n\nI had already ordered so I sucked it up and paid full price. I got a drink while I was waiting. A lot of options in the Coke Freestyle machine were out. When the young cashier brought my sandwiches out, he had only packed one to go. I admit by this point I was perturbed and short with the kid. I said \"This is to go.\" And he said, \"Oh. You wanted both sandwiches to go?\" and slipped my Green Turkey in with the Big Dipper. I suppose I could've wanted to eat in and take my other sandwich to go, but that was weird. The lady was nice and apologetic for the apparent Groupon mixup.\n\nWhen I got home, I discovered my Green Turkey wasn't what I ordered. There was no guacamole, no onions, no sprouts, and no salsa. It appeared to be a Turkey Club instead. I was super disappointed. I'd give them two stars, but I really want them to be successful, and my boyfriend was pleased with his sandwich.", "While dining in or ordering out is probably an entirely different experience, I would advise against placing group orders with Planet Sub. The office that I work in placed a group order and it was completely disappointing. \n\nThe first issue was that the online ordering system allowed group members to edit or remove other members' meals, and the layout of the website was confusing, making it easy to accidentally modify someone else's order. The second issue is that the morning of the date we were going to get this group order, we received a call saying ALL of the soups were sold out, so anyone who ordered a half sandwich and a soup were now just getting a full sandwich. There were many different kinds of soups on our order, and I find it both disappointing and surprising that every single soup they offer was sold out. How does that happen? The one plus (or maybe a red flag) is they mentioned they could deliver to us when they called. \n\nOnce our order arrived, the delivery person was kind enough to help sort out all of the food and distribute it to those who ordered items. Each item was bagged individually with the recipient's name on it. However, the delivery person noted that some people's items may have gotten mixed up and are in the wrong bags. Additionally, because of the bug on the website allowing people to edit each others' items in the group order, some items were flat out wrong or missing, including the sandwich I had ordered. Luckily the restaurant brought some \"extras\" and after some people traded sandwiches I ended up with a BLT.\n\nI read other reviews saying that they claim to make the bread in-house, but honestly I felt that it was really bland and cheap tasting bread. It had a really thin crust and was really reminiscent of cheap school lunch sub bread. Also, it was wheat, which is not my first choice for a BLT. Additionally, the bacon was definitely the super paper-thin microwavable kind -- come on, even Eegee's serves better bacon. I'm not necessarily going to speak for my whole office, but this was a really bad experience for me and several others and we probably won't be ordering again. I also am going to pass on ever visiting the store for an individual order, either.", "My husband and I love his sub shop. We recently moved to Tucson and we tried it out as keep coming back! My husband is a big eater, but he gets filled up on just the half. My husband is a really tough cookie to please (I've cried a lot in the past! Lol) but he keeps saying \"this is really so good!\" He likes it better than any sandwich place. We've tried many on the menu and can't pick which is our favorite!! You've got to try it!! \n\nAlso, the owner had been here each time. He personally makes the sandwiches and brings it to us. He also stops by to make sure we like it! I really like this place and will definitely continue to come back. \n\nAlways fresh and hot!!", "My family and I have been coming here since Planet Sub moved to this new location! Their food is amaaaazing and you can tell it's from scratch!! The most important thing for me and the reason why we keep coming back is because of their customer service! Very very personable people. Today I went i had to call in my order, pay over the phone and even had one of the workers take my food to the car because I had a sleeping baby. There was no question about it or push back. All the workers are just genuine hard working people! I would recommend them to people off the street! :-)" ]

Looking forward to going again. The market is nice because you don't have to drive all the way into St. Louis now.", "Had the duck noodle soup the other day for lunch. It was awesome would recommend to anyone. Wish I could find their hours of operation and a published full menu. They could really use a website as well!", "Zapp is awesome! We actually started going there because they are the only restaurant of its kind open on Sundays. We were 100% impressed and highly recommend. \n\nWe haven't tried much because we liked the Lo Mein so much that we just get it every time. We have however tried several different Thai spice levels and they are all delicious.

It's delicious! We ordered the fresh spring rolls, which were amazing and very fresh. My mom ordered the cashew nut chicken, she said the chicken was of very high quality and their was plenty of thick, fresh vegetables and cashews. I ordered the pad keo mao with tofu, it was delicious and the tofu was excellent. The decor is very cute too, I definitely recommend this place and hope it stays open! It's much better than the other Asian/Thai restaurants in the area.", "Pretty good Thai food in the area. Went there fo dinner last night with my 2 boys. My 14 yr old ordered their chicken stir-fry noodle, my 6 yr old ordered their chicken noodle soup off the kids menu and I ordered their egg noodle chicken soup, veggy spring roll & a thai iced tea. Their food was really fresh and tasty with out the greasy taste and heavy feeling. My egg noodle soup had broccoli, carrots, green beans, bean sprouts, mushrooms, cilantro & chicken and it tasted SO good. I highly recommed this place. Will be going there again that's for sure.", "I've seen this place plenty of times, since it's next to Orange Leaf (awesome froyo place), but had never actually been in it. \n\nAfter reading the reviews here, though, I thought I should try it out--and drag my family along as well. I was more than al little worried about how our experience would turn out, especially since my family held me responsible for picking the place. However, we were all pleasantly surprised! \n\nThe decor was very stylish, and the food was delicious. We tried the fresh spring rolls (yum) and a variety of noodle and rice dishes (among them the green curry and Zapp Noodle II). All were distinctly different from other Thai dished that I've had, and tasted delicious. \n\nBonus: the woman that was our waitress (and I assume the owner) was really nice, and gave us complimentary fried bananas for dessert!

Excellent ambience, extremely friendly service, and pretty darn good food. I don't know the status of their ABC license (it's a small place and the licenses are expensive), but a cold Chang or Singha would seal the deal for that extra 1/2 star. All said and done, definitely try this place.", "I hate to kill this wonderful 5 star review, but...We started with the crab Rangoon. The presentation was okay, but the flavor was lacking I don't think there was any crab in them just cream cheese. For the amount of Rangoon noodle there was not enough to fill it. Very disappointed in this appetizer but not the worst I've had.\n\nI had the Veggie Lo Mein, this was AMAZING, not to salty like most that i get from thai places. I would definitely get this again, the portion for dinner was enough for my lunch the next day.\n\nThe lunches are all always $7.50 and the dinner is always $9.00 for everything on the menu, i like that touch, everywhere you always go has different prices for chicken, beef etc...not this place!\n\nMy hubby got the Green Curry Chicken, he thought it was delicious, that the curry had a great taste, he did get the hot and he was definitely sweating.\n\nAs far as the service, i think the lady was cooking as well as waiting on tables, it took a while to get to place our order and we had to get her attention for water refills, napkins and for our check. \n\nBased on the services and the crab rangoon this place is like a 4 1/2 but i just can't push it to the 5 because the rangoon didn't just WOW me.\n\nI would definitely come back here when i want thai, i think it is one of the better in the area!", "I'm the hubby that got the green curry chicken!! YUM! i would recommend trying new things all the time, so we went back and i got the pad Thai and that was scrumptious as well. i really like this place and will continue to come back and try new things on their menu. if i had to knock it for one thing it would be timeliness. its almost as if the lady who take our order has to go back and turn on the burners to start cooking.. it took at least 10 minutes the other day to get our waters and it wasn't busy inside. \n\nso if you have the time and want some GOOD FOOD, then stop on by Zapp, they are SCRUMPTIOUS!!" ]

I especially liked the fondue appetizer and the guacamole. Probably the best guacamole I have ever had, and that has been the rumor in the restaurant each time I have been there. The tacos are also delicious, with El Pastor being my favorite. The staff is really great, friendly, and prompt. The owners are great people with a lot of passion for their restaurant, which is also awesome to see. The location is great being in Hillsboro Village. The atmosphere is very fun as well with an open air seating area and a fun bar. Definitely a must try venue!", "Loved this new place!! Great vibe great service great food. You have to try the chorizo taco they make the chorizo fresh in house!!!!", "I eat Mexican almost every day...obsessed. The food, drinks, and service at Boca Loca were all SUPER great! Our server, Drew was cool and did a great job. I had the Ahi Tuna Salad, which had a wasabi dressing and was served in taco shell bowl thingy that wasnt too crispy, so I actually used it as the bread for my salad. The sangria and happy hour margaritas were also amazing...as a bartender, I'm super picky about those two drinks in particular and I was just loving them (even Instagramming them like a crazy person). \n\nSat nearly outside at one of their hi-top tables next to the open garage doors and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon. As we were leaving it was really starting to fill up in there, so it looks like they are doing well!\n\nCan't wait to go back and try more...I was too full to eat the entire menu today. But next time, bring on the tres leches cake!!", "Boca Loca Cantina has only been open a week and my husband and I decided to drop by and check it out, even though I saw 1 bad review on Yelp when I went to look up the address of the restaurant.\n\nI'm not sure what Rachel M. is talking about in her review, because everything we had was great. My husband and I are both from southern California and have spent extensive time traveling (and for myself, living) in Mexico, and the food at Boca Loca was delicious AND authentic, thanks to the chef's time spent living in Mexico. I doubt that reviewer has ever set foot in Mexico, judging by her ignorance of Mexican cuisine. This is not a tex-mex or southwest restaurant, so perhaps that's why this other reviewer was disappointed. This IS a Mexican restaurant with a bit of a Southern flare (like the cocktail featuring whiskey, obviously not a normal Mexican offering)...but the dishes are pure Mexico. \n\nWe tried almost every street taco and found most of them awesome--our favorites were the chicken, steak, and al pastor (skip the fish). (Rachel M seems to think that $3/taco is expensive...but that's a pretty standard a la carte price for tacos at this type of restaurant). These are not Taco Bell/Del Taco or whatever fast food crap you eat -tacos--they are \"street tacos\" thusly named because in Mexico you can typically buy them at little carts all along any main street (as well as in restaurants).\n\nWe sampled 2 different margaritas, the red sangria, the sparkling sangria, and the whiskey/blueberry cocktail, and all were great. The drinks were definitely a high point--this is a great watering hole. The guacamole was good (and is by nature \"mushy\" otherwise it would be a salsa!) and does have fruit in it--which is really common in Mexico. And it was good! Finally, we had churros for dessert and they were SO GOOD. Hadn't had any as delicious since I left Mexico 6 years ago!\n\nOur waitstaff was excellent and we spoke with 2 of the owners, who are really nice guys. \n\nGive this place a chance and a year from now it'll be one of the hottest spots in the area.", "No service here- a 20 minute wait and no help! My party of 2 arrived at a not so busy time and waited for 10 minutes before being told that somebody would be by to help us. After another 10 minutes nobody arrived and after asking two more times, couldn't get service or an order, so I have no idea how the food is- if you eat here, better stop by Taco Bell first.", "$9 HOUSE MARGARITA!!!\n\nOut of all the (many) margaritas I have had in my short time on this earth, this may have been the most expensive compared to quality. It was good. They make a solid margarita, but it is not nine dollars good. I would say 6-7 would be reasonable. There are no prices on the menu though, so you are hit with sticker shock after you have downed 2 of these little jars of tequila. Also, if you order liquor 'neat' they charge you 2 extra dollars when all you wanted was no ice. \n\nThere is one vegetarian option in the menu. Less than I would hope for, but a good effort. I was on a liquid mission for the evening, however. We did try the guacamole and it was good, the chips were fresh and pretty tasty.\n\nThe decor is very nice. I like the wood paneling and the look of the bar. The openness is really nice too. Just watch out for the steps going into the bathroom. They are tricky.\n\nI was really hoping for a neighborhood joint to go grab some tacos and drinks, but for $9 I will go buy a pitcher of beer across the street. I'll probably hit up happy hour at some point when the margs are half price. I am curious to see how this place develops and hopefully they will work out the kinks and there will be a good place for tacos in the neighborhood. I will be thrilled to update my review as things progress.", "The skirt steak tacos are the best I have ever had!!! The margarita is pretty darn good too! If Catherine waits on you, you are in for a fun treat!", "It is such a beautiful fall day and we wanted to try something new so we decided on Boca Taco, a new place in Hillsboro Village. We sat at a high top near the huge open window and promptly received a basket of delicious crispy chips and some cucumber salsa the chef had made fresh. It was amazing. We ordered guacamole and it was good mixed with the chef's cucumber salsa. This place is all about tacos so we each ordered two. They were the perfect size and made with fresh ingredients. We had 2 fish tacos ( better than Taco Surf in Huntington Beach Ca - according to my husband....and those have been his favorite fish tacos for years). I had one chicken and one steak taco and they were each delicious. We will definitely be back for their M-F happy hour from 3-6pm to try one of their margaritas soon!!! Our waiter DK was great too!

[ "Red Lobster. Red Lobster. Send Lobster Right Over.\n\nWhere is the Red Lobster of my youth? The all-you-can-eat snow crab legs. The deliciously buttery cheese biscuits. The crisp, fresh salad. The crowds. OK, maybe not the crowds.\n\nI don't usually choose to go to RD. My parents are usually the ones who want to go there. But I went here last night with the wife and kids. I don't know if it's the economy or what but it was unusually dead. Every other time I've visited this particular location, it was at least a half hour wait to get a table. We were lured in by the promise of delicious, endless shrimp. \n\nJust a few points:\n\n1) Endless shrimp ain't so great. They tend to be tiny, cast off pieces that aren't considered worthy of making it to the big leagues.\n2) They were \"temporarily\" out of the shrimp alfredo. Maybe it was wanting what you couldn't get, but that sounded like the most appetizing of the 5 different varieties.\n3) Everything seemed sticky. It might have been the diners who were there before us, but even the dessert menu felt like it a 2 year old drooled all over it.\n\nThe biscuits came out flat. At least they were hot. The salad didn't seem as fresh and crisp as it usually is. All the food was overly salted. I tried to stay away from the water...I really did. But the saltiness of all the shrimp forced me to down a few glasses of water. I probably wouldn't have eaten much more what I did (I'm not telling how much I actually did eat) but still, if it were a bit tastier, I might have been able to stomach a bit more.\n\nI've saved the best thing for last. Our waiter was incredible. I know it wasn't crowded but he was attentive and very outgoing and energetic. \n\nOh and one last thing. The kids' meals stink. If it's not fried, it's not anywhere near appetizing. The fish and the grilled chicken were flavorless. My kid wouldn't touch them and he's usually a great eater.\n\nBoy, I hope the economy picks up so more people can go out and get the salad turnover higher so we can all get fresher food.", "Give me a break, how can anyone with taste buds and a nose give Red Lob a positive review?", "2 stars is plenty generous for this chain of BLAH seafood (all pre-frozen) and bisquick (Cheddar Bay) biscuits.\n\nIt's the Olive Garden of the sea.\n\nAnd my brother in law and his wife both worked here when they were just out of high school, met and fewll in love here and now are married.

At least they are consistent because my lobster was on the well done side as well, like almost burnt.\nI will go there again, I think the service is friendly and adequate.\nEnjoy if you need cheaper lobster,\nElijah", "Wow...I had a GREAT experience at this place recently, so I am excited to write this. I wasn't expecting upscale service here, because it's a typical chain restaurant, but I had a gift card that I wanted to use, so I decided to give it a try, and I was very pleasantly surprised! \n\nWe went the weekend before Valentine's Day, and even though it was crowded, the people were moved smoothly in and out in an organized manner. ALL the employees we dealt with were friendly, nice, and attentive -- even the ones who were not directly involved with us. They made us feel welcome. I sensed a real team spirit here, and you could clearly tell that this place cares A LOT about customer satisfaction. Our waiter Jovini was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and he went the extra mile to make sure that we were happy. That really felt great, especially at a time when genuine customer service seems to have fallen away in many places. (I actually received better service here than I have in some five star restaurants I've been to that charge top dollar!)\n\nAs far as the food goes, I liked it. They had a nice variety of menu items to choose from, and some lower calorie choices that are great for diet conscious guests. Both our meals were hot when they got to the table, and they were prepared just as we had requested.\n\nThis is a casual, mid-range, family-type chain restaurant that serves mainly seafood for a reasonable price, in a friendly atmosphere, and I think it does what it does very well. Yes, a lot of the stuff is pre-made, but it still tastes good, so who cares? Obviously, I am not going to judge the food here in the same way that I would a more sophisticated, high-end, fine dining establishment. High-end restaurants are great, and I enjoy them, too, but this place does just fine for what it is, and I would highly recommend this location for quick meal at a very low price.", "It's a chain. Yes. But it's the kind of chain that mothers and grandmothers like, and so we go. \n\nI've never had what you would call a memorable meal in a Red Lobster, but for the price, and for the mom factor, it works. \n\nMost of the time. \n\nUntil tonight. \n\nI made the mistake of ordering fish and chips, and it was abundantly clear to me even before I tried to sink a fork into it that the Red Lobster chefs have no bloody idea what fish and chips are supposed to be about. \n\nThe dead giveaway? The chips. A soggy pile of shoestrings. Which makes perfect sense when paired with a Bic Mac. (God forgive you for that, by the way.) NO SENSE AT ALL as part of the classic fish and chips combo. What had I expected? Big, thick-cut russets. But no. This is the first time I've ever been served MacDonald's fries with my fish.\n\nAnd, hey, let's talk about the fish. Wouldn't you normally picture a hefty slab of moist haddock or cod, encased in a nicely spiced, light, flaky and deliciously greasy batter? The thing they served me at Red Lobster in Montgomeryville must have been something more like flounder. It looked like a fried surfboard. \n\nThe batter? Well, I'm not sure you could call it batter. More like spackling compound. It was something fried, that's for sure, but I needed a knife to saw through it. No amount of malt vinegar could save this abomination. I made it about a quarter of the way through this hard, dry, flavorless plank (it took too much effort), ate a couple of fries because I was hungry, but then just gave up.\n\nFor five or six bucks, you can get a much better version of fish and chips at any Highland games.", "We received a gift certificate for here so we decided to go for dinner. We arrived at 5pm on Black Friday. We were told 15 minute wait. About 15 mins went buy and were seated. We never saw a person leave while we were waiting. When we were seated we saw 7 tables empty in our section. We were not told of any specials just given a sheet with the specials listed. Our waiter arrived and asked if we were ready to order. We ordered and were brought our drinks. I had an alcoholic beverage that I finished during the soup/salad course but was never asked if I wanted another beverage. Our main course arrived. Normal Red Lobster fair nothing special. Still not asked if I wanted a refill but server brought all the others a refill since they were drinking water/soda and left right away after putting their drinks down. No how is your meal. I even found a hair in my rice. I decided not to finish my meal. When our waiter decided to finally came back he asked if anyone wanted desert. I was able to tell him about the hair and I finally was able to get another beverage. I was planning on getting another drink but decided on water. No can I get you something else off the menu or I will discount your meal. Just picked up the plates and brought the bill. $89.00 for 4 of us with no apps or deserts. I plan not to go back any time soon. Worst meal in a long time. Worst service and food even for a chain restaurant.", "A very inviting atmosphere. Loved the decorations throughout. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I had the Chesapeake Shrimp with Crab dinner. Asked to substitute the rice with red potatoes and chose broccoli as the side. I loved the potatoes, the broccoli was overcooked. The stuffed shrimp had a bit too much \"stuffing\". The crab on top of the grilled shrimp were sweet. I would've liked the shrimp to be less spicy instead of the cajun spices I tasted. My dining partner had the Wood-Grilled Lobster, Shrimp and Scallops. I got to try the lobster which was also very sweet, and the scallops which was cooked just right.", "The pros: The server was very attentive and professional (she forgot one item, but not a big deal...we had enough to eat, and she didn't charge us for it). The decor was fresh and modern, definitely not nearly as fuddy-duddy as I remember, and I see from a previous reviewer that there's been an upgrade. My companion loved her lobster tail, her salad, the cheese biscuits, and the apple crostini.\n\nThe cons: My Bar Harbor salad with shrimp had lots of shrimp...but it was rubbery, rubbery shrimp. Why did I think it would be different this time?\n\nThe real con: The place smelled vaguely of sewage. Maybe this was just a problem on one day (July 15), but it wafted through the dining room. I don't think it was the regular seafood smell. (At least I hope it wasn't.) When I went to the restroom, I found a possible source. The floor leading from one of the other toilets to the other toilets was wet in a way that suggested a leak from the toilet. I ended up having to roll up my pant legs to make sure that I didn't get piss, or piss water, on my jeans. And I'm obviously not a squeamish person...I ate voluntarily at a Red Lobster, after all!\n\nThat said, my companion, who fits into RL's older demographic, loved her meal, so I can't give it one star. (That said, I hear that one's senses dull with the years.)", "I generally do not go to places like Red Lobster because usually the food is just ok. I went for the first time because its the only place to get a real lobster dinner and it not costing 200 bucks. The place was clean and everyone from entering to leaving were super polite and very organized. I had a 30 min wait which was ok because they had a nice bar and all the bartenders on sept 7th at 7:00 pm were great. all of them. super nice and attentive. My server name Jovon ( spelling ) was fantastic. he was knowledgeable on the menu and was again super polite and made me feel very welcome and made sure everything was perfect. I will deff be returning again. I got the 3 pound lobster for 58 bucks. it was great. not as tender as I wanted but very good which is the reason for the 4 star review. I would have givin 3 but jovon puts it at 4. that guy is a great rep for your brand" ]

[ "Had an enjoyable dining experience at Gigi's. Took part in the \"early bird\" specials where all plates on the list are $8.00 from 4 - 6pm. I had jumbo stuffed shells with a meatball, and my wife had baked ziti. The early special also includes toasted garlic bread and either a dinner salad or soup. It's hard to wreck pasta dishes with red sauce, and that held true in our case. Both of our dishes tasted similar. The pasta was cooked correctly and the red sauce was passably good, but did lack any outstanding nuances of fresh Italian seasoning which always makes pasta sauce better. I had intended on giving Gigi's 3 stars based on standard solid Italian dishes without anything special about them, but quickly moved up to 4 stars due the the pleasant, attentive staff, fast service, and pricing.", "So... this place isn't bad. Its just ok... Like the review states - I've had better. Maybe the 70's feel lends to the atmosphere, but I found it to be dark and oldish? The service was great! The food, was just alright. I had the chicken parm and fettuccine Alfredo. My boyfriend had the fried shrimp and fettuccine Alfredo. The fettuccine was ok, it had a garlicky taste at the beginning and then became bland. For 5.00... not worth it at all! Chicken was bland as were the shrimp. So... it was just ok. Probably wouldn't go again. The sangria wasn't that good either. But it was a nice night out. Overall... We've had better.", "Nice retro atmosphere at this Italian inspired restaurant. Service was good and food came quickly. Had pizza and a pasta dish. Pizza was ok, Broccoli-Shrimp Penne was very good.", "My Chicken Parma was WAY overcooked and overpriced.", "Great food and service. Homemade meatballs were a wonderful app with the hot fresh garlic bread. Chicken piccata and chicken saltimbocca are both very yummy. Salad was a bit lack luster but house dressing was good. The homemade sangria was also tasty. I would definitely visit again.", "Great pizza and wonderful service. Their home made sausage is the best.", "Great thin crust pizza the rest pasta and meatballs where so so and the decor is really old. price was fair.", "Good, basic meal and because we took the early bird specials, inexpensive ($10/ea) but no happy hour so house wine was about $7 each. Husband had baso (catch of the day) and liked it: my linguini w/ red clam sauce was also fine. Good service.", "I'm honestly surprised Gigi's doesn't have more reviews in general. We came here on vacation with a large party of 14. Our waiter was friendly, helpful and perhaps most importantly, not annoyed when we asked for separate checks. He also brought my dad a free slice of key lime pie for his birthday.\n\nI ordered angel hair pasta with meatballs and split a large caesar salad with my parents. The salad was delicious. The was pasta also good, perfectly cooked. The meatballs were the highlight, moist and flavorful. Minus one star for the sauce, which was somewhat one-dimensional and on the sweeter side.\n\nNevertheless, I would definitely recommend Gigi's. Good food, homely ambiance (although still fairly upscale) and a welcoming waitstaff. Go here!\n\nP.S. Try the house red wine", "Had our anniversary dinner there last night. Food was great- I had baked ziti and my wife had lemon chicken. We started with bruschetta which was good but not great. Staff was very friendly and our waiter was great." ]

The lovely Jackalope, Tennessee Brew Works, Fat Bottom, Black Abbey and at least a half dozen more flow from the 20 taps. Theres even one or 2 Tailgate brews including easy Blacktop Blonde made at Minhas Brewery. They just moved into this old fraternal lodge up on a hill in west Nashville and its nothing fancy. A big room with a bar and a barkeep and about all craft beers made in these parts. I like that they didn't mind me ordering a sausage pizza from Little Caesar's down the road a mile to have with my Yazoo.", "This place has so much potential and I can't wait to see what it becomes once they are done. As of right now it's a large taproom but that's only about a 1/4 of the space. It has two of their beers on tap (a session IPA and blonde), numerous other local brews, and a few non-local brews. They are also filling growlers. They are finishing up the cafe, event space, outdoor beer garden, brewery area, etc. If it comes out how they describe it, it's going to be super cool. Nashville folks, keep an eye on this place. It's hopefully going to do some really cool things and bring a great beer option to Bellevue. We enjoyed our stopover this weekend and we will definitely be back to see the progress.", "Pretty new taproom in West Nashville area. There is around 20 different taps. It used to be a Moose lodge so this place is huge!\n\nAs soon as you walk in the taproom is to your left as they are still finishing up the construction for an event space, cafe, etc. It was pretty cool how we can bring our own food and have some tasty beers. We just had to run down the st where the new Hattie B's was located at. Good ol hot chicken and downing it with a ice cold brewsky. Thats what i am talking about! The taproom has a projector to play the games and another smaller tv for whatever else is on. They also offer board games and cards just to pass time. I like this place a lot and since it is still renovating there will be alot of potential.\n\nOh they also sell their 2 local brews by the case (6packs - Session IPA and Blonde) for now", "Glad that a local craft brewery opened on the west side with some unique options that you can't find at most other places. They have a comfortable bar to hang out at and Drew is knowledgeable about the beers that they have, so if you want a recommendation based on a taste profile, he can tell you what is good or give you a sample to let you try before you order your drink. We will probably be stopping over here on a regular basis as it is 5 minutes from our house.", "As a few others have mentioned, this place has potential. Only potential right now. We came for the official grand opening day, although this place has been soft open for a few weeks. We didn't do the free brewery tour they were offering, because we've done so many others across the country and they all end up being about the same. Had local live music going so that was cool. We headed straight to the bar to get a drink. That turned out to be next than impossible with the amount of people at 2 pm. Can't imagine the nightmare it would have been later in the evening. We knew it was opening day so didn't bother us too much. \n\nWe grabbed our beers and sat down. They have picnic tables and other outdoor furniture inside their concrete walls with no natural light. They have outdoor game like corn hole, buts again, it's inside a dark room. I find it strange that a beer markets itself as \"tailgate\" beer but no patio. No windows. Straight dungeon. They definitely could have utilized that space better with more seating! \n\nWe looked at the food menu while sitting down and immediately decided against ordering anything. It appears that a five year old made up the menu with Nutella sandwiches and BLT with peanut butter. That's not creative; it's nasty. \n\nMade the decision to leave and find a bar with a nice patio to celebrate the beautiful weather we were having Saturday. Getting our tab was horrific. I know it's busy. I know it's opening day. But you have 3 people trying to get beer for hundreds with 1 register that is also an iPad. And one waiter who doesn't know how to work it, thus slowing everyone else down. \n\nThis place has a lot of good ideas, just poorly executed. Hoping they can turn it into something better, but my faith isn't too strong.", "Potential, but massive problems this weekend as I watched any sort of flow grind to a halt as there was one point of sale machine and three bartenders attempting to use it. 20 minutes to get a beer, kind of line chaos at the bar, they were out of what I wanted so I chose something random, also out.\n\nHowever, I think this is surmountable. Another POS register, some sort of \"order here\" sign to get some sort of line order as there was none, covering up mention of out of tap beer, would have made this a very very cool place.\n\nI wandered out around back, not so much by choice as by chasing something caught in the wind, looks like the outdoors back area will rock when they get to fixing it.\n\nThey're a good place to go, but they're not ready to be popular yet... I think that will be soon enough though", "New with a welcoming team. I have been a few times and Wes and his team have always been welcoming! Hearing the plan for the rest of the buidling was exciting. Can't wait to see the place grow!! PS: Beer is COLD just like I like it!", "Go here! Im so glad we found this place, the service is fantastic. Great beers and its huge on the inside. Live music and they have food too. We were hesitant to try it at first because it kind of looked like high school gym from the outside but its great! Cant wait to go back and try more of the beers", "Empty atmosphere.\nWith as little inviting accommodations that they have (uncomfortable seating, lack of decent tables other than standard old picnic tables, huge empty rooms), you'd think that they would make up for it with inviting hospitality. Not so.\nWe found nothing about the service or friendliness or lack there of that would make us want to come back.", "We just bought a house in the neighborhood & the proximity of this brewery was counted as a \"positive\" for our decision. The owner & his wife are authentic & delightful. The brewery sells an eclectic mix of locals & craft beers including their own. Their beer is better since they expanded their on site brewing operations & hired a bigger staff. Their food is ok but I would love an expanded menu. They have specials & fun things every night. They sell onsite home brewing equipment which my husband appreciates as a home brewer. This business has a lot of potential & I look fwd to a day quite soon when I can give them 5 stars." ]

[ "There just aren't that many good independent restaurants in this area so maybe T & S shines by comparison to the competition that doesn't exist. Still, if you want a burger that did not start out as a hockey puck or other decent diner food you could do a lot worse. They used to have a \"Chicago Style Dog\" on the menu that was just like in the Windy City, but that was a casualty of a change in ownership/management. They still have hot dogs and can customize something like this if you give directions (but they don't have the sport peppers so it can't be exact). What I like is that they will try hard. Another favorite of mine in a hamburger with blue cheese and here I can improvise with a decent blue cheese dressing which they will provide on the side rather than mayo and actual blue cheese (like it should be).", "My husband stumbled upon the Twist and Shout when giving my visiting mother a tour of the desert. They had lunch and loved it. We later went back on a Saturday night for dinner and Karaoke. The atmosphere is fun, the food is terrific, the staff is awesome! The desserts are home made and fabulous. It was really refreshing to be in a \"mom & pop\" establishment where mom and pop are there and really care about what you think about your food and experience. We loved it, our kids loved it. We will be back!", "Normally, fantastic service doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. The drinks never got more than half-empty, which is a fantastic thing except when you're being charged 50 cents for each refill because you had a flavor added to it. Multiply this by every visit to the table and that small charge really adds up to almost five dollars just for refills to the drinks. Worst part was that this wasn't disclosed anywhere on the menu. It just said 50 cents, not 50 cents for each half-glass of soda. \n\nFood can be really great or fairly poor, depending on time of day and cook available. There isn't a lot of seating except during the summer time because of the outdoor seating available then. Service is always excellent. \n\nI'd avoid the waffles as the batter is \"off\". However, the omelets and home fries are excellent. \n\nThe burger with peanut butter on it is surprisingly awesome. You have to try it to believe it.", "Lots of good ingredients, not always prepared to our preferences. Rueben needs more sauerkraut, thinner cut meat, less gristle. Turkey sandwich tastes like home cooked thanksgiving leftovers. Would like some veggies on it. Dont care for their fries, but if you pay a lil extra the onion rings are great.", "Were a fan of twist and shout... We have only ever experienced excellent customer service, and great food... They also offer a military discount.\nWe have gone as part of a large group on several occasions and they have been more then happy to move the tables around to accommodate us all.... I would defiantly recommend this place", "Nice to have this place in Green Valley. The owners are great and the food is good enough. The night chef comes up with some sweet specials. The staff is awesome.", "Great food & service. The pancakes are large and impossibly fluffy! The bacon is thick cut and delicious. There is something for everyone on the menu. Everyone is very friendly. This was a highlight of our visit and we'll definitely be back!", "Was looking to see if there was an actual diner and was surprised to find this place in a shopping center. OK, I won't hold it against them. First, the service is excellent and friendly- its apparent that they work hard at it.. Decor is fun and nicely done- poodle skirts and everything. I had the corn beef hash with eggs over easy which was very good- you'd be surprised with how many cooks don't do eggs over ez well. However the \"old fashioned country potatoes\" looked and tasted like something out of a frozen bag. I picked them over the 2 hash brown patties because they sounded like frozen Ore Ida like patties. Country potatoes are chopped up fresh with onions and bell peppers- at least that's how I make them and have had them at other eateries. They have made the business decision to skimp on breakfast potatoes, ok- next time I'll get the fries- they at least looked like the real thing.", "Good food. Always good service.

[ "Legendary BBQ but not so good that I want to rush back. Maybe it is just the opening jitters and things will get worked out. It sure smells good in there and they do have a good system for moving people through. \n\nTheir \"Plates,\" however, give a new meaning to Paper Plates. It is really just butcher paper with a a piece of wax paper laid on top. I'd prefer a real plate since the paper gets soggy as you eat and starts stripping off as you cut your meats, especially the more food you have.\n\nSpareribs were not available for 15-20 minutes so I had pulled Chicken instead; it included big lumps of chicken skin. When I mentioned something to one of the staff, he shrugged it off saying, \"that's the best part.\" Not to me. Pulled pork was good, brisket ok. Beans so so. Fried okra was soggy. The Mac and Cheese was lukewarm, dry and uneventful.\n\nBBQ sauce has a nice bite but a bit sweet and only so so. Suprised that there was only one BBQ sauce available. \n\nI'll give it another try once things get broken in. Hopefully it improves.", "Whoa Nelly, you should go here! I know, I know, you're like me - you bypass trying a new place unless an experienced Yelp user scores something five stars. No, really, the barbecue is really five stars - there are just a couple things that need to be worked out.\n\nIt is almost torture smelling the smoky goodness of Mr. K's BBQ as you wait in line. Though I was not there during peak hours, the cafeteria-style line still took awhile, and there was not any takeout line available tonight - nor any pies made. There is a water cooler outside for drinking while you wait.\n\nFirst thought, as I entered \"Mr. K's North\" is that this restaurant reminded me of Texas! Almost an open-air environment with barbecue being king; a place where families and communities could bond over good Southern barbecue. I mean, who doesn't like a smoked meat and sides?\n\nI had a few issues - it seemed like this place was not prepared for its popularity - that is where most of the kinks lie. But also - there are no dinner plates! What is up with that? You get your meat wrapped in Costco-hot dog-style wrap, and even Styrofoam plates are a foreign language. Yes, your wrap is going to get greasy and messy from excess barbecue sauce. Also, there is not a warm sauce bar. A lot of diners were wondering why they didn't get sauce with their meal - it's room temperature in a squeeze bottle, and there is just one flavor.\n\nInstead of a super tangy, a super spicy, and a super sweet kind of sauce, there is just one sauce. It is mild and only slightly acidic, with a hint of molasses, a hint of onion salt, and a couple other hints. Nothing too high fructose corn syrup or ketchup tasting. It is good!\n\nMr. K's is standard price for barbecue. $8 for a sandwich and a side, $10 for a meat, side, and bread, $4 for dessert, $2 for a drink. I think sometimes we all get barbecue-comatose before we eat and want to go crazy without adding everything all up. Say you get a potato with a small amount of meat in it but you want some greens and mac and cheese as well as a Pepsi and a peach cobbler. That's going to cost you around $19 right there for one person. You're best sticking with just a meat and some sides!\n\nMeat choices included are sausages, briskets, pulled pork and chicken, and I would stay clear from the chopped choices which looked like canned meat in tomato sauce. If you are a meat lover, order the sliced brisket - that is the hugest portion for sure. The pulled pork is that smoked goodness that is tantalizing your sense of smell once you walk into the restaurant.\n\nAs far as the sides, there are French fries, fried okra, collard greens, mac and cheese (large Velveeta shells with less of a strong cheese taste), fried apples (seemingly popular choice), green leaf salad, potato salad, cole slaw, and a few other choices. I would go there and try it out today.", "Mr. K's in a word? Fine. \n\nNow, I need to say that I'm partial to deeply smoky barbecue and sticky sweet sauces with kick. And, keep in mind they've only been open five days. I'm sure they're ironing out wrinkles - like you can't get the spicy barbecue sauce out of the squirt bottle because the pepper pieces are larger than the hole. Or that the meat was served warm-ish, but was ice-cold halfway through dinner (but at least the A/C works great!) Saturday night at 8pm and the line was almost to the door. You queue up cafeteria-style and order off the big board menus - sammiches, meat-stuffed baked taters, 1-, 2-, and 3-meat combos. Ribs; pulled pork, chicken, brisket; hot links & sausage; sliced brisket and turkey. Mac-n-cheese, collard greens, potato salad, peach cobbler, sweet potatoes, green beans, baked beans and green salad. \n\nRed and white checkered tablecloths cover the multitude of picnic tables, along with mild & hot vinegar-based BBQ sauce, rolls of paper towels, salt and pepper. There's a condiment bar in the SW corner with hamburger dill chips, sliced jalapenos, hot pickles and peperoncini along with fixin's for the baked potatoes. The staff was very friendly and the service fast. \n\nThe food was.....ok. The collard greens looks so appetizing, served with lots of liquor. They are made with pieces of the smoked meats, though, and not bacon, so they were quite bland. The mac and cheese is home made. The cornmeal-breaded okra was tasty and crisp. The ribs needed another hour on the grill - they were done, but not even remotely tender. The pulled pork looked great, and came with a little bit of bark, some edge and center bits - but it was incredibly bland. The brisket looks great, with a nice smoke ring, but it too was bland.\n\nWe'll give Mr. K some time to work out the wrinkles, and try them again. But this first meal was really disappointing. Barbecue is really personal thing, though; this could just be a case of 'cue incompatibility.", "I have been eating at Mr. K's for over a decade and was really excited to try the new place. New building is nice but with plastic ware and paper plates? It is very clear that the chefs from the other K's had nothing to do with this place. The sauce does not taste at all like the original Mr. K's. The super-peppery sauce and seasoned meat is the best at the Park location. This sauce was bland. \n\nI am not sure how I feel about the concept... the picnic tables are different but not sure they are better. Tables and chairs would probably be an improvement. Cafeteria style... just don't know. Just down the street there is BBQ with a waiting staff. I guess it just depends if you like to be waited on. I was just under the impression that Mr. K's was moving up to better things but it just seems the only that was better was the building and parking lot.", "Five for sure. Its local and family owned. The owners are personable and really care about their customers. The line was out the door. They were busy, but the daughter of Mr. K came up and she very nice. They gave out free water while we stood in line.\n\nFood was great and good value. This is the kind of bbq where they dont slather it in sauce... you do that yourself. They dont use sauce as a crutch to cover up shitty meat. But the house bbq sauce is grub. Its good texas style bbq. they even hand out your order on butcher paper!", "Really fun atmosphere with picnic tables and red-checkered table clothes. I had a great piece of brisket and the potato salad and house beans were delicious. They had a pitcher of beer for $10 which really can't be beat! Overall great experience. I love to support local businesses!", "Owners are friendly and helpful. I ordered a beer but they needed to tap another jeg as that one was empty. They brought a dessert to me at the table to apologize for the delay in getting the beer. The food is wonderful; I highly recommend their brisket. I\n\nThis location is great for those of us at Satori. I ran in to numerous Satori folk!", "I was excited to try this place as it is near my office and I love BBQ. What a disappointment and will not be going back.\n\nThis is a order/pickup at the counter place and you fill your drinks up yourself. You get plastic utensils, styrofoam cup and no plate!\n\nWe were there for lunch today and thought we would have the 2 meat/2 side plate so we could try more items - 4 meats/4 different sides and it comes with bread. We also got two large drinks. The cost was $35.00 for lunch! Now if this was the best BBQ I ever had, I probably wouldn't have mentioned the cost; but it wasn't, far from it in fact.\n\nDon't expect to actually receive a \"plate\" when you order a plate meal - the meat comes wrapped in butcher paper and when you unwrap it, the grease/juice (I use juice loosely, more to that later) goes all over the place. The brisket and pulled pork were moist but they had absolutely no flavor! When you drive past this place, you can smell the wood burning but for some reason, it doesn't get into the meat. The turkey and chicken were so dry that when we put BBQ sauce on the meat, it soaked up instantly. Yuck! The turkey and chicken also had no smokey flavor.\n\nThe sides we ordered were collard greens, baked beans, fried okra and candied yams. The yams and okra were awesome but the collard greens and baked beans were a disappointment. The macaroni and cheese looked dry and not very appetizing or cheesy and the green beans looked as though they had been boiled for several hours.\n\nWe didn't get our bread with our order and thought that maybe the bread would be awesome as we thought surely the bread would be a biscuit or corn bread considering the theme of the restaurant is southern. So I went up to the counter to get our missing bread and was handed two slices of white Wonder bread!\n\nDon't waste your money going to this place. Go to Famous Dave's for a meal that is not only less expensive but you get waited on, food served on real plates with real utensils and way better tasting food! Or Brush Fire BBQ which is a self serve place but the food is awesome and a lot less money.", "Not the same as the original on South Park Ave. Different recipes. I like Mr K the man, but this is nothing special, just another wannabe bbq franchise. My rating is if it had a different name and was going to be judged on its own merits. Not bad by any means: just not the \"Mr K\" flavor/experience that is famous.", "Great, smokey pulled pork. Delicious! Though hickory barbecue sauce is my favorite, the meat was so nice and smokey it didn't matter that they didn't have it, and I liked their barbecue sauces. I will definitely go again when I am hungrier so I can try the side dishes. Would have liked regular flatware instead of plastic, but it wasn't any kind of deal-breaker.

I had the Chicken Torta, flats (flat enchiladas), beef rolled tacos with red sauce and the ice cream concha. \n\nThe chicken torta was flavored to perfection with a light breading. Habanero coleslaw was a nice refreshing note with a spicy kick to it. Pickled onions and sauce rounded out the perfect bite. Also cannot go wrong with the traditional toasted torta bread.\n\nThe Pina Flats, which were covered with red sauce, citrus flavor pork and topped with a pineapple salsa. Amazing flavors to compliment each other and satisfy the pallet. \n\nThe rolled beef tacos were amazing. The flavor from the beef was mouth watering and the special Rollies red sauce that is poured over the tacos was on point. \n\nFinally the ice cream concha! Mexican pastry with soft creamy ice cream? What else needs to be described? \n\nEverything was unbelievable and tasty. The atmosphere is very inviting and the staff was great. There is nothing like this in Tucson or anywhere for that matter.

I asked my husband where they got it from and he said \" Mexican Bread Heaven\"! As for the rolled tacos they were good. I ordered the beef tacos with the queso sauce and my husband ordered the chicken tacos with the red sauce. Both had decent flavor, sauces were good. They had salsas you can put on the tacos but there were no little cups or containers to put the sauce in. I know this place is fairly new so they are still working the bugs out as far as service. I'd definitely return and will most likely order another torta!", "I loved my meal!! I had the cauliflower rolled tacos topped with red sauce and a side of the corn salad. As a vegetarian there aren't many Mexicans options to choose from. I will definitely be back!!!", "So I came here because my dad told me they closed Taco Fish and put this in its place... I was as much of an emotional wreck as I was the day after Trump was elected. I quickly skipped the first 3 stages of grief and fell into a deep state of depression. Days passed. My will to live faded. Then, as I was driving back from \"work\" today (if it wasn't obvious I don't actually have a job and therefore have WAY too much time on my hands to write a long-winded/unnecessary review on Yelp), I passed Rollies and then saw that Taco Fish was still open! The sweet sweet taste of fish tacos need no longer be but a memory! I made an entirely legal south side U-turn and was about to pull into Taco Fish when suddenly a feeling of guilt came over me. I felt guilty for being angry at Rollies for no reason at all. So, in that moment instead of rolling into my favorite Taco Fish parking lot, I decided to roll into some Rollies. \n\nOk, now to talk about Rollies. I ordered 5 Rollie Tacos with red sauce which warmed the coddles of my recently recuperated corazoncito. My favorite food is actually tortas ahogadas and this was very similar! Maybe I'll get the torta next time and ask them for some side sauce. Speaking of sauces, they have like, 10 sauces to choose from once you get your food. Also, I tried their agua fresca del día which was piña, lima, and cilantro. Tres magnifique. Molto bene. But, I'd have to say my favorite part of this place was the lil donkey they have (find said donkey in my pictures above). \n\nOk if you're still reading kudos to you. Help me find a job. Ok bye.", "The Rolled tacos with queso sauce is amazing! Also, be sure to try the concha ice cream.", "This place was brand new when we came here and before we even tasted the food we were impressed with their customer service! The owner came out and personally apologized for our food being a tiny bit late and offered us free dessert. This place is really nice and we will be coming back. It's a fresh take on Mexican food and we loved it." ]

[ "A multi-faceted eating center. I'll split my review into three:\n\n1. THE BAR: is an okay place to catch an Eagle's game. They have a bunch of televisions, so you're bound to get a seat with a good view of Donovan McNabb's latest injury (and the Eagles' latest failed season). The appetizers are killer, since they're made by guys that staff the restaurant. However, don't come here for night time socialization on the weekend, not if you're younger than 40. The place is a hangout for divorcees.\n\n2. THE RESTAURANT: has plenty of class, although I've only been there for the weekend brunch. All the seafood is the great stuff you know from the other Ruhlings location. The breakfast staples (potatoes, pancakes, sausage, etc.) are all as you'd expect from a first class buffet-style brunch. They also, I believe, have live music on the second floor.\n\n3. THE SEAFOOD SHOP: is not something I you should take my advice on---because I really know nothing about how to pick out a nice piece of salmon. But I'll say this: everything they serve in the restaurant is from the seafood shop, and I've had nothing but positive experiences there.", "I came to \"The Buck\" on a Thursday with my boys and was the youngest person in here by a long shot. One older gentlemen decided coming dressed as Elvis (not a joke) would increase his chances of landing a Priscilla... It didn't. This place was PACKED. Lots of people dancing to the \"Geater with the Heater\". One of my friends was taken against his will into the middle of the dance floor and not seen again. If you bring a woman under 45 here, hoards of eligible mustache clad bachelors will supply all of her beverages for the evening. One thing you have to keep in mind: There is a thin line between cougar and codger... It is usually located around the ear from a facelift. PS We need a friend to take the place of Brian... Must have an automobile that can seat 7.", "This landmark has more history than your 8Th grade history teacher taught you! However it has changed hands, so the history is gone, because the building was totally torn down when it was bought by the Ruhling family. The original place was just called The Buck Hotel, and it reopened in 2001.\n\nIt is not really a hotel as it once was many years ago. However it is huge and was rebuilt similar to the original, on the outside anyway, but it is more spectacular. Outside, the original buck statue is still standing where it was.\n\nIt houses a very large sports bar and tavern, a gourmet seafood market and deli, a ballroom, banquet rooms, a fine dining restaurant and a \"casual\" late night bistro.\n\nThe finer dining restaurant, bistro and the deck bar are all upstairs, so your options are pretty well endless. They also offer catering now!\n\nThe food is good, no wow factors, but I've been back and probably will again. Check them out @ http://www.thebuckhotel.com/index.htm", "The Buck Hotel has been somewhat of a landmark to me for the majority of my life. For years it sat deteriorating at the corner of a major intersection, the large deer sculpture standing proudly before the restaurant becoming more and more dilapidated as the years went by. When it finally reopened a few years ago, I was excited to discover what they had done with the infamous building. \n\nI must admit, the decor is quite nice. The main dining hall is decorated in a cabin-like fashion, equipped with a large stone fireplace and mounted animal heads. I was even lucky enough to dine in the topmost tower room, which is reserved for well-to-do patrons. The bar is also nice, and it is often packed in the event of an Eagles game. \n\nThe food is mediocre, at best. The prices are fairly inflated and the meals are substandard. Even the dessert menu is unimpressive. I do not want to give the impression that the food is bad, it is simply not as good as one would expect from such a fancy place. Also, I believe it would be prudent for me to mention that four members of my family, including myself, have gotten violently ill following meals from the Buck Hotel. \n\nIn the end, the Buck Hotel is nice to look at, but with very little payoff.", "What a place! In a word, COUGARTOWN. My brother had his wedding reception here, it's actually a really nice location with a nice upscale feeling to the ballroom. The food and staff were all great. \n\nThat being said . . \n\nCome 10 the bar area is completely transformed into a crazed dance floor stuffed with horny 50 something year olds that are bumping anything and everyone. Needless to say, the wedding afterparty was one continuous laugh, an intense dance off that lasted long into the night.\n\nCertainly a memorable night, we all had a lot of fun despite one girl from our party getting her purse stolen :(", "This place is actually very nice looking from the outside. It looks like an old hotel that probably has a nice upscale restaurant inside. My wife and I decided to bring our families there one day for an early dinner. Inside is very nice, decorated like an old hunting lodge. The bar is immediately on the right when you walk in, and there is a seafood counter (to go) in front. \n\nWe sat down to eat, all ordered apps and dinners (and ordering was a hassle, believe me) and began eating. I myself ordered oysters, which are one of my favorite shellfish. The oysters themselves were pretty small for blue points, and the cocktail sauce.... oy. Usually I can scoop the sauce with a fork and put it onto the oyster, but the sauce was so runny it went right through the fork. Gross.\n\nI forget exactly what I got for a dinner, but it was some sort of sandwich. I remember that not being so great either. Since we ate there a while ago and I just decided to review, I forget a lot of the details, but I know I wouldn't eat there again.\n\nNow let me look at it from the bar/lounge angle. The bar there is great. Awesome staff, great atmosphere, and when the weather is nice a patio with tables. On the weekends they have live music as well, and I believe karaoke. I would go here again just for the bar. But again, I ordered food from the bar, and it was so-so. I've had better. But you can't screw up a beer! Or can you....", "Meridith B, I finally ate a raw oyster!\n\nThe Buck Hotel is huge and multifaceted for both the decor and the food offerings. This time we entered the tall white French doors and walked into a huge foyer with shiny marble floors, chandeliers, well polished and in prime condition antique tables and stands holding massive beautiful fresh floral arrangements. Off from this were two more sets of open French doors leading into immaculate well dressed rooms sporting a gorgeous fireplace. \n\nIn front of us were large white French doors which would lead us into the grand ballroom. The ceilings before these doors were as high as the sky and light shined in from the tall windows above. Right off from the vestibule was a very unique service bar, dark polished wood, dimly lit, no stools or tables, you walked up, ordered your cocktail and stood to mingle or sat on one of the velvet tufted antique settees with ball and claw feet. \n\nThe Mother's Day Grand Buffet was not quite ready for us but I had my dirty martini so I was fine chit chatting and people watching. We were one of the first tables to be seated and rather than wait for instructions I was starving and knew what to do. Many of the chafing dishes did not have the utensils but they readily brought those out when I suggested they may be helpful. Now mind you they had an earlier brunch buffet, which had to be cleaned up and ready for the Grand dinner buffet. \n\nI do not remember seeing the chicken wings or the cocktail meatballs because I was concerned with the mushroom imperial and the clams casino and both were very good. I enjoyed pick and peel shrimp and get this, they ran out of snow crab legs during the earlier brunch so we were treated to king crab legs and people flocked to them like flies. They were not cracked and there were no crackers to break open the shells so I took my dinner fork just driving those shells open like that fork was a pair of scissors. \n\nI then brought back marinated mozzarella, olives and grape tomatoes along with a few raw clams and oysters. Hubby who has been trying to get me to eat raw clams for years said you will like the clams, but he mentioned he had never liked oysters. I guess it is true that opposites attract because I did not care for the clam but I did like the oysters! \n\nI ignored the pasta station but I did cave into fish which featured swordfish, tuna, Mahi Mahi and Unagi BBQ. The only thing I tried was the crab stuffed flounder which were fillets rolled and stuffed and they were delicious! I so wanted to try the Unagi but I had forgotten all about it. \n\nThe carving station had rare prime rib, turkey, ham and rare leg of lamb. They will cut as much of it as you like and as thick as you like it. I had the rare lamb and found it a bit chewy and lacking in flavor, I am not a big fan of leg of lamb, give me a rack of lamb any day. Hubby loved the leg of lamb and kept going back for more. \n\nThey had veggie options of haricot vert, glazed carrots, red bliss potatoes, mac and cheese and a lot of salad options. The only thing that I tried was a chilled shrimp and rice dish with a kicked up red sauce which was good. The sweet tables and the ice cream bar presented a beautiful display with tiered dishes of little squares and rounds which were picture perfect surrounding the chocolate fountain. \n\nI dove into the chocolate fountain with speared chunks of pineapple and filled my bowl. Many items were available, come to think of it I saw no strawberries. I filled a small plate with a few of the tiny pastries and then went back to check out the flambe section with bananas foster, southern comfort peach melba and I enjoyed both. \n\nYou may be saying to yourself what a pig and I'm telling you now, I wish that I had ate more king crab legs, they were so good and what a treat. My only complaint was the service. I brought in my martini and finished it and then ordered a glass of wine. Some very young punk girl asked me every five minutes if I wanted coffee and each time I said no thank you, until I finally said to her listen, it's Mother's Day and I'm a lush and if you ask me if I want coffee again then I'm going to trip you! ( I didn't really, but I wanted to). \n\nA huge last minute party without reservations came in right after we got our first plate of food, so the staff, as loud as they could rolled in huge tables, opened metal chairs ( we were sitting in gorgeous upholstered chairs) and made as much noise as they could, after several glances from each patron, a few people got up and ran out to complain. \n\nI'm a big tipper, this was $40.00 per person, which was a fantastic price including tax and 20% gratuity for a buffet, we overheard our server grumble as we left that we had not left more. All of the servers were babies and I do mean young. \n\nUp one star with the Buck Hotel and I will be back, try to polish up those servers or replace them with a few antiques who have some class and know how to serve the public.", "Went to a baby shower in one of the upstairs rooms.It was the room with the picture of Lincoln and is burgundy colored with leopard trim.The room and the entire place is attractive but I found the food very average.I am friends with the mother of the soon to be dad who hosted the shower and she said it was on the costlier side but she just wasn't up to hosting the party in her home so to her it was worth it.If you are looking for an impressive glitzy atmosphere and are happy with ok food it will work out fine.I for one will prefer less glitz ,more homemade sauces,larger portions and a little bit of soul in my food.", "My review is only regarding the Sunday Brunch, which was loaded with excellent (and normally expensive) items like fresh oysters, smoked salmon, trout almondine, rack of lamb, and a slew of other foods, each of which would have made for a good meal. At a cost of $29 per person, it seemed very reasonable.\n\nIn addition, the service (for which they add a 20% gratuity on the bill) was excellent, with many servers there to remove plates, bring whatever was needed, and refill drinks (one alcoholic drink and endless beverages were included).", "i ate there once monday night buffet and though it was quite good for 20 per person. they had rack of lamb, snow crab legs. cehfs experiment with molecular gastronomy and some apetizers were impresiive. I also thought that it was too much selection especially at desert table. Recently owners removed all quality items such as rack of lamb and crab legs and raised prices to 25 per person. I asked owners to consider havong less choice such as pastas and few other things and consider bringing quality back. was told is just too expensive for them. Obviously making things that logical and pleasing customers is not their priority. so i am not going there again" ]
