"This Chilis seems to be fairly new and it didn't disappoint! Good service, the sweet corn soup and big mouth burgers were great and for once the presentation was a-ok (I often feel like these chains get super sloppy with presentation). It also has a really nice bar! Will definitely return to this Chilis when the next craving arrives!",
"The service was horrible! We waited almost 10 minutes after being seated for someone to greet us and take our drink orders. The waitresses and other staff members were messing around at the entrance to the kitchen with their ipods, their phones, etc. We had to ask for drink refills and the check. The hostess was on her phone as we left. Just horrible.",
"Please do not go. The service was very ghetto. I do not have to say more - management sucked, the whole place is bad. If you want to hear slang out of your severs mouth go to this Chilis'.",
"So-so Chili's location. You know what you're getting into. Nothing really light or healthy on the menu that's worth eating. If you're here you're looking to pig out on some texmex or ribs. You'll be pretty satisfied with either or. Food is good but I find myself a little bored with the menu these days. Have had good and just ok service here. Also have good drinks and desserts. Never really crowded here so don't be hesitant to stop by.",
"If I could rate this a 0 I would. It was my family's first time (myself included) and the entire experience was horrendous! We went on a Sunday afternoon so it was slower than I suspect it would be usually. The server was slow and rude. She did not check back on us to see how the food was nor come by for any refills. The food was subpar (below even Applebees) and when I stated my complaints to the manager all she could muster up was an offer for a free dessert (at 1:30pm). This was a horrible way to try to \"rectify\" a bad guest experience and shows why there wasn't much business at this location when my family and I went. VERY disappointed!",
"This is our local restaurant it's literally 5 minutes or less from home. I've been going to this chilis for some years now and I can honestly say I've never recieved a meal that wasn't great! Lol last night I went with a close friends and I was very surprised even for the 2 for 20$ entree was a nice portion and the food was delicious! Don't let the area discourage you...very nicely ran establishment.",
"Disappointed with service at the bar. Arrived a bit before 10 and received cold treatment. Was told to wait when I tried to order take out but bartender never circled back...basically ignoring us while waiting on others... Won't go back for a while...",
"So this is a Chilli's in the Oak Lane/Cheltenham area. It's like a friggen Apple bees, only it has a clean bathroom. The service is pretty fast and the waiters, for the most part, are kind and helpful. I always find myself craving their honey chipotle chicken fingers and Texas cheese fries, and if I don't feel like going to Center City to get those, I go here instead. The Texas cheese fries are to die for! The decor is like most family restraints so it has a whole bunch of saloon style signs and stuff like that. Would make a nice place for a cheap and quick date.",
"My worst restaurant experience ever. Server was nice but not professional. We didn't get our silverware until after we got the appetizers and the main entree. When I opened them there was a grain of rice stuck to the fork. You can see the servers hanging around the kitchen door area on their phones and arguing really loud with each other. I order a steak and was never asked how I wanted it, I have never seen ribs as dry as the baby back ribs my wife ordered. Loud place. Even the costumers are rude. The server taking the order from the table next to us was basically laying on their table as she was taking the order. Also my wife ordered 2 margaritas, one was served in a beer glass the 2nd margarita was in a the glasses they use for soda. Also there was napkin and straw covers all over the ground under the tables and booths. At one point it got so ridiculous we started laughing and looking around for the camera, thinking we had to be in a show.",
"We went here the other week after learning they had late night half-priced apps and were pleasantly surprised. For appetizers, we got the skillet queso, loaded potato skins, and one of the chicken flatbreads. We did not enjoy the queso because it had some sort of beefy flavoring to it that made it taste very gross. The potato skins were pretty good, about average for this type of place. The flatbread( which isn't included in the half-priced special) was great! It really was a perfect flatbread with great chicken and flavorings. Service wise are waitress was GREAT, the other people like the food runners were okay. For instance, they forgot to give us the salsa that was supposed to come with our queso. But, when we saw our waitress we told her and she immediately fixed it. For dessert, we got some type of chocolate cookie that came in a skillet with vanilla ice cream. That was amazing! This was a good late night outing and our bill was so cheap in the end, barely over $20. I will definitely look to use this special again if the opportunity arises."

"Stopped in here on St. Patty's day. The ambiance in this place is ON POINT! Comfy chairs, huge ottomans and great decor bring the class factor up a notch for a B-Rip establishment.\n\nHookah is a fair price, and a great selection is available. Just make sure you've already got your buzz going, because LAVA doesn't get its liquor license until mid-April. Me and my friends will definitely be back once it can serve a few cold ones!\n\n\nAll in all: the look and feel of this place makes it worth a visit, liquor license or not!",
"Now, I'm not much for hookah bars, but I was pretty impressed with this place. Very modern/eclectic design, dark and woody with that sweet smoke smell, and clean!! This is an awesome place to come a chill with friends. They don't serve alcohol (yet), but they serve up some mean smoothies that will compliment any of their fine hookah blends. And it wasn't too expensive either, for hookah and n/a drinks. I'd come back!",
"Cairo Cafe was my spot for hookah until it completely went downhill. After going around and around finally LAVA opened up. I believe its owned or at least its managed by a lot of the Egyptian Cafe guys. Service is not its strongest suit, but for sure the hookah quality is way better than all the other hookah cafes in town. The fact that its right in the middle of Broad Ripple make it a great alternative to a night of drinking.\n\nHookah : 5/5 (their signature flavor Lava Lava is the way to go!, in the pineapple bowl!)\nLocation: 5/5 \nService: 2/5",
"The food is phenomenal. Love their house merlot. The seating is so comfortable! Our service was very expedited and they brought out dessert to celebrate my friend's birthday. Love their music--and they had ncaa games on their new tv's! The waiter took a picture of our group and said he would email the picture to us. Fantastic atmosphere. I didn't want to leave! We'll be back.",
"Indy has a shortage of nice hookah bars, sure service is spotty but I give it 4 stars for the cheap hookah and nice ambiance. Fun place to meet up!",
"Despite the fun atmosphere and helpful staff, I was still pretty disappointed with Lava. The food wasn't bad; I had the Shawarma, which was pretty good but not served in the traditional wrap style. But the hookah was a major let-down. The flavor was good, but the tobacco was extremely week. To be fair, this was one of the first days that they were trying out a new tobacco supplier, so that may have affected my experience.",
"The hookahs were overpriced, and you can't mix your own flavors, you have to smoke their pre-mixes were not satisfactory. The only upside is that I was comfortable why I waited for my check and then headed to the Egyptian to get what I wanted.",
"Is anybody else hot???\n\nOne-word review: Wow.\n\nLava turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I was hesitant to go in since I'm not a smoker and try to avoid tobacco products as much as possible. While this is definitely a smoke-filled atmosphere, it's neither unpleasant nor unbearable. The cigarette smokers are still relegated to the out-of-doors, so rest easy in that regard.\n\nI didn't get to sample any of the food, but my friend's looked delicious as did our neighbor's. \n\nThe space is large and welcoming with oh-so-sexy vibe. This world work great for date night or for a good sized group outing. I even ran into someone who I'm hoping to return there with ;-)\n\nI'll definitely be returning to Lava. \n\nP.S.: Try the hot tea with mint; you won't be sorry! \n\n(P.P.S.: I'll let you know how date night goes.)",
"We came here after having dinner. Nice ambience, definitely busy on a weekend. We had to wait but that was okay! \n\nNice comfy chairs! Table was a little small, but that was okay. Though there is smoking in this establishment (duh) its not unpleasant. Also, anyone still needing their cigarette fix still has to go outside. \n\nBeverages are good! Food looked good, but I didn't have the opportunity to try as we had just left 10-01. Upon watching others, I also saw that hookahs also have the option of putting a fruit on top. Pineapple, apple, orange... I believe they were all options.",
"Let me start by saying that there's a lot to like about LAVA - great food, great hookah, great atmosphere. All of this, however, was overshadowed by the worst service I've ever had at any restaurant ever. We waited twenty minutes for a waiter to take our drink order, twenty more for our drinks, and even longer for him to return to take our good abd hookah orders. When we needed refills or the check, he was nowhere to be found. (He was actually talking to the other waiters over by the bar, completely ignoring anyone in the restaurant.) While everything else was great, the service was absolutely terrible! My girlfriend had been here other times with friends and had said the service is consistently awful regardless of the number of people there. Needless to say, we'll be taking our business to The Egyptian in the future."

"Good selection of Chinese style and American. Susi, clams, oysters, king crab. Salad and dessert bar. Cute waitresses, hehe. \nAlways open, always clean, great price.",
"NAME CHANGE\n\nHibachi\n\nWe have ate here when it was Kings and now Habachi. I can't tell the difference.\n\nBuffet food at its best. Going there again today. I think it is the best buffet of its kind any city any state.",
"My husband and I were both overwhelmingly disappointed in this place... and it takes a lot for us to be disappointed. It has some redeeming factors such as crab legs for extra. As a vegetarian there were VERY few options. They didn't even have spring rolls. There were no tofu dishes. My husband is not a vegetarian and said that the things he tried were essentially unrecognizable. Said the crab rangoon tasted like ricotta instead of cream cheese, the egg rolls were gross, and none of the dishes were even edible. This place is now named Hibachi.",
"This isn't going to be the kind of buffet you rave about but I really didn't have any complaints either. Dinner is 9.99 aperson so for 2 dinners and 2 drinks my husband and I paid $24 plus tip. It was pretty average Chinese buffet fare. The Mongolian grill was decent, I liked the egg rolls OK, the \"crab\" Rangoon was fair. There was perhaps a bit too much of the imitation crab in almost every dish but I still managed to leave full. There were a few dishes I didn't care for, the \"seafood\" stuff leaves a lot to be desired, but all in all for 10 bucks a person it was pretty decent. BTW this place is now called Hibachi Buffet.",
"Despite the bad reviews my wife and I gave this place a try. We were pleasantly surprised how good it was. The sushi and the clams were most excellent. I did see a lot of dishes with imitation crab but with all those dishes with real crab the price per person would be through the roof. They were still very good. Service was excellent. Our waitress kept snatching up the dirty plates within a few minutes of us finishing each and kept our drink glasses full. The only reason I gave 4 stars is they didn't have kiwi on the buffet. I know it may seem petty but I just love kiwi fruit after a meal. My wife and I will definitely be going back again.",
"Went tonight for our 23rd wedding anniversary. Food tonight was outstanding, especially the frog legs and clams in black bean sauce which were out of this world fantastic. My wife can't stand frog legs and she even liked them when I asked her to try one.\nMy wife and I frequent this buffet place as often as we can and never disappointed with the food or the service. Our dirty plates were removed from the table within a couple minutes of finishing and our drinks never fell below half. We always have a wonderful experience when visiting King Buffet.",
"We came here for crab legs. We imagined great heaping trays of fresh, steaming goodness waiting to scratch and cut our fingers as we harvested the sweet, meaty insides. What we got, instead, were cold, sad, mushy little claws and legs served on ice. When we said we wanted hot crab legs they were nice enough to put a few of them in the microwave. This really enhanced the delicate fishy taste and released the meat from the last little bit of firmness to which they desperately clung.\n\nThe rest of the buffet's selections were old, vile, and not fit for consumption. There was kitchen staff busily stirring the food that was there but I can't say I saw anyone bring out anything fresh. the breading on the General Tso's Chicken had long ago separated from the chicken and was swimming in the sauce. That's the best I can remember of the food, the rest is now a repressed blur of awfulness. \n\nI would give King Buffet 5 stars if I were rating the strength and duration of the stomach cramps I had afterwards.",
"I patronized this buffet since it was called King buffet. Now its called K Hibachi buffet. Going here is a hit or miss. They have a few items on their tables that are exceptionally tasty. But like I said its a hit or miss. If you go for certain dish, chances are that you will be out of luck. The frog legs were worth going but now they are way too salty. Recently the quality and taste of food has gone down. That includes the sushi bar as well. The hibachi grill and hard ice cream is the best thing going. Its nothing worse than paying for a meal that you are not satisfied with. It gives you a feeling of being taken for your hard earned money.",
"Went to this buffet (now called Hibachi Buffet). I consider myself a Chinese food fanatic, growing up in Brooklyn and then living in South Florida. Great buffets. Since the move to St Pete, I am seeking a great buffet. An oxymoron you say? Nope, does not have to be. But people...I implore you...stay away from this tasteless, wimpy, salty, excuse for a Chinese buffet. It is sad when the only tasty food on the buffet was the green beans and the pizza. The pizza I'm saying. Service was efficient and polite. Crab rangoon tasted like funky cheese filling, black bean sauce was watery, mongolian pork had no bite, baby clams steamed had sand in them, spare rib was bathing in a sweet sticky sauce, sweet & sour was only sweet, tea was weak, green tea ice cream? nope just green ice cream with no flavor. I did not have the crab as they looked really puny. The salt & pepper shrimp did not want to be peeled. I'll end on a good point...there was a big variety of food. I will never go back.",
"Ate lunch there. Sushi buffet was stingy. Limited selection of sushi - mostly rice rolls that were heavy on rice, light on fish. Food was generally OK, but nothing especially great."

"This place was fun, a group of us in town for business came here. First in the center of the table is a heating element and a pot t is placed on the element where wine and cheese are melted into fondue to dip bread and stuff, then the pot is replaced with hot oil, and meats are brought to cook in the pot served along with dipping sauces. Then to finish up, the last pot is chocolate, and dip fruits and desserts into. \n\nI really enjoyed this experience and would go again.",
"Expensive and mostly worth it. I came because I won a gift card and had a wonderful time.\n\nI didn't like having to wait when we arrived, we had made a reservation. We'd dressed nice (my bf in a jacket, me in a dress) and while they post a dress code, they don't appear to enforce it, a couple came in after us in jeans.\n\nOur server was very pleasant, though she tried to upsell us on the meal we ordered--the Night out which included cheese fondue, salad, entree fondue and chocolate fondue for dessert. Service was prompt and she didn't mind putting the bananas separate from the rest of the dessert items which I appreciated.\n\nI do have a quibble about the wine list. I'd chose what I thought was a medium-range price bottle of Big House red. Nowhere on the menu did it indicate that this was screw-top bottle. For thirty bucks, I expect a cork, call me crazy.\n\nThe food was wonderful, portions were generous without being overfilling. No issues with meat quality, vegetables were fresh. Plenty of wine in both the cheese and the entree fondue which made for a nice flavour in each case.\n\nI'd definitely go back, probably for an anniversary or other special occasion.",
"Heaven in a pot!\n\nThese words are how I would describe the deserts at the Melting Pot.\n\nThe date starts with a nice serving of lots of food. I have to cook myself?\n\nBut nothing beats the taste. Damn. This is wonderful. The wine is perfect. \n\nA very cool mood feels the room...and very private. We play footsie. How 50's. \n\nThe delish chocolate heaven has arrived. Its heaven. Fruits, Cheesecake and things I cant name....all in chocolate. Would I come again...I would most certainly come again.",
"The food and selection here is really first-rate. The costs are a little expensive, but worth it considering what you get for your money. The environment is wonderfully private (at most of the seating areas, anyway - there are a few general tables that are less private, but these are few). It's dark and the wait-staff do a fantastic job of explaining everything as you come in and sit down. We've never had bad service here and we've been several times. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone, but PLEASE pay attention when they are explaining the cooking times to you so that you don't get sick on raw meat. \n\nAtmosphere.\n\nGreat (friendly) staff.\n\nExcellent quality of foods.\n\nI rank Melting Pot up high on my list of good places to eat, it's a lot of atmosphere AND food. Because remember, this is a fondue restaurant - there aren't a lot of amazing culinary spices and things being added to your food here. Oh, and GREAT for older kids (9+ who will be into the \"cooking your own food\" thing).",
"Excellent meal.\n\nFamily (my fianc's family) tradition is that on Christmas eve, the clan gathers for a meal at the melting pot. The family has been doing the tradition of fondue ever since this location opened. \n\nFood was wonderful. Drinks and salad to start. Then got right to business with traditional cheese fondue - swiss style. Bread and fruit with cheese - very nice. Main meal was the steak, pork, chicken, shrimp mix - with various veggies. Cooked in a pot of oil. The mushrooms were amazing! I actually got so full I couldn't finish. (amazing) \n\nDessert - ok - this is where it gets really good. A pot of melted chocolate with a selection of fruit, brownies, and marshmallows to dip. Fantastic. The chocolate covered bananas were my favorite, followed closely by strawberries. My mouth is watering thinking about it.\n\nThis location is right in the heart of downtown Nashville. Down a flight of stairs into a dark, calm space. Booths are sized just right for a party of 4. Service was prompt, efficient and friendly. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. It's not cheap, but considering it takes roughly two hours to eat, and includes a ton of food - it was worth it. \n\nBottom line - go, try it, take your time eating - this isn't fast food. I'll be back again next Christmas eve, if not sooner.",
"Dear Melting Pot,\nYou do not fool me. Yes, you offer a fun and unique experience. And because of that I would recommend you to someone who has never been. However when I am going to spend this much on a meal I want to be sumptuously tempted by an amazing chef excelling at his chosen art form. Not skewering and cooking my own food over a hot plate in the middle of my table. Don't get me wrong your food is good. And I do appreciate that you have plenty of things for vegetarians hidden away in that mystery kitchen of yours. But when I go out and am planning on spending this much money on food I expect a little more. Obviously that's just me though. You have plenty of people lining up on your doorstep to pay you to let them cook their own food. It just won't be me.\nSincerely,\nLeigh",
"The Melting Pot is a Fondue restaurant that serves a full dinner and desert menu. I would recommend this place for a fun dessert spot. Anytime I think of Fondue I remember the scene in \"Lost in Translation\" where Bob remarks, \"What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food!?\".... but funny remarks aside, the atmosphere is romantic and the crowd is always dressed well. This is a nice date spot, just because the restaurant is really intimate and vibey. \n\nThe desert tray comes with a Fondue Pot of hot sweet chocolate, and you get a tray of fruits, chocolates, marshmallows, and cheesecake to dip and cover with the chocolate. It is all pretty tasty, and fun. You can always pull one of those moves where you feed your significant other from across the table. \n\nThe price is pretty steep considering you cook everything yourself, and the desert requires no cooking at all...but that is the phenomenon of Fondue for you, don't try to understand, just dip!",
"When it comes to desert, The Melting Pot can not be beat! While I have not been to the restaurant for dinner, I can still give it 5 stars based on the experience I have had savoring their unique blend of chocolate fondue.\n\nI never imagined that eating desert could be so fun. Skewering pieces of pound cake and strawberries and then dunking them into the molten pot of chocolate goodness is one of the best experiences a person can have on earth!",
"this is my favorite place to go for a quiet, romantic desert night. order a coffee and one of the chocolate fondues. give yourself a good hour or so to soak up all the yumminess :)\n\ni'm not a huge fan of the dinner here. it just takes a little bit too long and unless you like to cook, i wouldn't even dare.",
"Fondue is the higher being's gift to my mouth. I came here on date to experience the joy that is cooking meat, toping everything with melted cheese, and then ending it with a feast of chocolate covered dessert. The big thing to do at the Melting Pot if you are heading there a full meal is their \"Big Night Out\", which includes cheese fondue, a salad, entrée (meat platter which you cook yourself, I picked the Court Bouillon style), and to end it all chocolate fondue dessert. I don't think I have ever had such an orchestrated food feast, but it was well worth it. If you aren't the mood for a full course meal, I would at least go there for the dessert!"

"Much better than the old Jouvay Java that this replaced. Jean-Luc is a very friendly owner + on-site working out the inevitable startup biz kinks.\n\nA watery espresso made by a new hire was remade perfectly upon request. Unique offerings: crepes both savory and sweet, as well as Belgian waffles - yummers. Prices are reasonable. Hours are going to be regular early morning to evening, 7 days/week -- something the old Jouvay never managed to achieve. Promises of live music also soon to come. Friendly staff, good unique menu offerings, and solid espresso drinks. Overall - a welcome addition to South Street West.",
"I am so happy to have L'Aube in the neighborhood - a great coffeeshop/creperie is a great addition to the eclectic South St mix! The owner Jean-Luc is passionate about the neighborhood and generous to his patrons. On my first visit, he cooked up two savory crepes and two sweet crepes for me and my date, and the total was only $20. The place is clean and attractive; the food and coffee are unbeatable; and the price is right. For the francophiles, there are fairly current French magazines (Paris Match, L'Express, Le Point, others) available to read, too.",
"It might just be me, but the fact that there's now a coffeehouse right next door to Tritone makes me insanely happy. Hell judging from the number of reviews I guess it makes me 600 review happy (woot woot!). after all within a two stores apart you can take in a divetastic happy hour with some of the best gumbo ever, and then get a serious wake up call before heading home (or across the street to Bob and Barbara's). I know I'm sold!\n\nBut L'Aube is a pretty awesome coffeehouse in it's own right. I'm only giving it 4 now because I haven't tried the food. But since it's supposed to hook up some serious crepes and waffles I'll probably be turning that beat around. It has all my standard coffeehouse requirements in check too - free wi-fi, roomy tables, strong coffee that stands out with plenty of other options, and good artwork. It even hooks up some decent outdoor seating on the better side of South Street. The thing that impressed me the most though was the vast amount of sweeteners it offered. They even had brown sugar cubes and agave!",
"What is there not to like about this place? The crepes and waffles are great. The waffle is not too sweet like Bontes bu pretty perfect. The service is friendly and knowledgebale and the prices are cheap.",
"since i work next door, you'd think i'd have not only been a patron a grillion times, but that i'd have also yelped it.\n\nbut....well....no. i hadn't, and i didn't. i don't drink coffee!!\n\non monday, however, i had a crazy hankering for crepes, and was reminded that the cafe serves them. and makes them fresh to order!! what the hell, right?\n\ni ordered a savoury little number containing herbs, gouda and turkey.\n\njesus-jumped-up-christ!! it was so damnably good, and filling, and wonderful, AND hand-delivered. (a perk of working next door mayhap...)\n\nfrankly, i am just so glad i finally found a reason to patronise a wonderful local business, run by a really nice guy whose staff is aces. maybe i ought to start drinking coffee or something, because even i cannot partake of the crepe everyday.\n\nthanks jean-luc and chelsea!!",
"First of all, the service is outstanding. I love all of the baristas, especially the owner Jean-Luc. If you're interested in an interesting conversation - just talk to this guy. Of course, the other baristas are also engaging. \n\nAdmitedly, the service is not the regular drive-thru speed you might get at Starbucks. But really, that's not what I go to Cafe L'Aube for anyway. Every drink and dish is carefully crafted and the lack of haste accounts for the exquisite quality on your plate. \n\nIt has the feel of Grad Hospital/South St but is usually a bit quieter. \n\nI love the hot chocolate which is whipped up with imported Belgian chocolate syrup - mmm! The waffles are also very, very tasty!",
"Excellent coffee, soy milk is out in the open and not more $$\n\nBright and inviting atmosphere.\n\nA+ will go back",
"I've tried a few crepe places in the city. While many make an excellent meal none made crepes the way I first fell in love with them when I was scarfing them down in French Djibouti. Cafe L'Aube comes closest to what I believe a crepe should be - good ingredients with a gentle balance between the crepe itself and the filling.\n\nPlus sides - solid barista for your coffee drinks and amazing savory crepes. \n\nI had the Preferé (bacon, leeks, creme fraiche and swiss) and also tried the simple crepe (mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil) with spinach instead of basil - both amazing. For dessert we shared a strawberry crepe which I considered flavorful - but a little dry for a sweet crepe. \n\nGreat staff - very friendly and fast on the service. Overall - a very quiet and laid back atmosphere. I dare say \"cozy.\"\n\nOh yea - and cheap. ;)\n\nOnly minus side - drink selection was very limited if you're not up for coffee. I was craving juice and the closest thing they had was flavored iced teas.\n\nHighly recommend you try it out! If you do, let me know how the waffles are... I have high hopes.",
"Decided to stop in and give the food a try on a whim and it definitely delivered. After taking the first bite of my crepe that had turkey, melted gouda, and fresh herbs I consider L'aube to be the 2nd best place for crepes in all of Philly (nothing trumps Beau Monde.). they had a diverse selection of the sweet and savory varieties, and all of the crepes were for a pretty reasonable price considering the quality.\n\nOn one of my other visits since the first I also had the chance to talk to Jean-Luc. And he proved to be an upstanding and friendly guy all around. Definitely recommended!",
"My crepe with scrambled egg, goat cheese, bacon, and tomato was good, and the cook made it fresh, even slicing the grape tomatoes after I ordered, and handed me the plate the moment the crepe came off the round flat thingy. My 14-month-old daughter liked it too. And the coffee here is good. (Daughter has no comment on the coffee.)\n\nBut I came back later in the day and got a disappointing waffle. It was soggy, not crisp at all. You can buy a waffle iron at CVS for twenty bucks and make yourself waffles that were better than this one was, and they won't cost $3.50. \n\nThere was no toilet paper in the bathroom. I thought maybe they had just opened last week and didn't have the routine down, but I see that is not the case. Regardless, it is inexcusable."

"So glad to find a decent diner in West Nash, and Greek ones are the best. Everything I've tried so far has been great but I always come for the loaded hash browns (w/ eggs), best I've ever had. Ten different ingredients to choose from and topped with cheddar, fantastic. The lamb burger is so delicious I couldn't put it down, and the gyro is very good as well. The greek salad is tasty but could use more greek olives. I look forward to trying more of the menu as long as I'm here. The staff is always friendly as well. Now if only they'd deliver!",
"Had lunch today and it was great. The lamb burger was perfectly seasoned and cooked medium, just like I ordered it. The fries were hot and crispy. Total with ice tea was a little over $13 and the waitress brought me an ice tea to go at no additional cost. Definitely will be going back next time I am in the area.",
"3.5. Will definitely try again for higher. \nFood good, why not great? This remains to be seen. French fries, AMAZING DON'T get in my way. The BEST I have had I a longgggg time. Not exactly sure what they put on them, not sure of the oil they used, but trust me, great fries. Crispy and good...GUUD!\n\nI think this place has a chance to knock it out, CRUSH it, and make Bellevue go nuts, However. The tidiness makes me wonder. Again food very good. \nWalked in with a friend I begged to come across town for Mediterranean food. I love love love diners from my North East Days in college. Again FOOD LIVED UP, aside from a sad Rueben, not enough of the Rueben good part, sauerkraut and dressing. but that can be improved. \n\nThere was 1 table with patrons the rest open, but NOT so fast, the rest of tables all had crumbs. The wrapped silverware was on 1 table and then only for 1 at a 2 seater. We took the table with 1 wrapped silverware, 1 crumb and 2 maybe 3 servers chatting. \n\nLet's also say the service is very good. So not sure why they did not see the issue when we went to 3 tables to our final 4th table that had 1 set of wrapped silverware. Maybe closing time jitters. \n\nI was soo excited to try many things and told my friend so as well as the server. Wish I could remember his name, nope it fails me. \n\nOrdered the Spanakopita to start and the Chicken Rice soup, the Reuben, the Greek Chicken Rice soup and the Supreme Gyro. My friend had the Gyro. I have 2 sons. Food was going home. -Don't judge a hungry lady fighting a cold. Eyes are as big as her stomach. \n\nThe Spanakopita was very good and came in 2 slices with nice filo dough. Phyllo was spot on, If the Phyllo is not fresh, it is sticky. This was fresh with feta on top. Lovely presentation and tasty. \n\nThe Chicken soup with rice came thick. So very needed on days you are fighting a cold. I was fighting a cold and it hit the spot. Spot on if you like thicker chicken soup on some days. \n\nWas I hungry for the Rueben or the Supreme Gyro, Heck to the No. But could I not sample? Yes!!! I could. Reuben was comparable to many other establishments. This is a diner. I expected just a little more and also would have appreciated extra Russian sauce on the side. Size was OK for the price, it definitely could be bigger, it did not come with fries. Disturbing as those fries killed it. \n\nThe Supreme Gyro comes with mushrooms. This was wrapped in Pita Bread, not in a pocket like the faster Gyro places. Better touch. Another sandwich where the sauce could be on the side. \n\nThe staff were very nice, I did not see the bathrooms. The parking is easy peasy next to the Captain D's. \n\nI will be back with expectations a little lower but with hopes because the Menu has the Owner/or Chef saying they will do their best or something like that- see menu pics, the staff were very accommodating. The first impression was lacking and makes one wonder. Food 3.5!",
"The Best Breaskfast without the wait. The pancakes were amazing. Omelet was delicious as well! Definitely would recommend.",
"This place is dirty. Went for breakfast and my coffee cup had pieces of lettuce on the side. Servers' uniforms looked like they hadn't been washed in days. Couldn't get our coffee refilled. The guy who was sitting at a table next to us ordered water but was served iced tea, so he had to send it back. When his food came they brought him eggs and hash browns but forgot his bacon, so he had to wait. Our food was fine, but nothing special. We ordered the choose your own ingredient skillets.",
"We've been hearing great things about the Bellevue Diner! We were excited to try it out because - let's be real, Bellevue is struggling for a good reliable lunch spot! \nHere are the Positives:\n-Friendly staff\n-Great menu and substitutions are totally OK (our pet peeve when going out)\n-Food was indeed delicious! Loved the salad dressing and seasoning on everything!\n\nNegatives:\n-Yall, from the first impression to the last, the place looks and feels DIRTY! Don't look at the floors, or the trim, or even in the big kitchen doorway. \n\nI'm REALLY hoping the owners will spring for a deep cleaning and then a nightly cleaning service. This spot has SO much potential!",
"Well, the food is good and the prices are very reasonable, the just need to clean up their act a little - meaning, tidy up the place. You might not expect a great eggs Benedict at a local diner but theirs was very tasty. Eggs were cooked just right with an ample amount of ham. Home fries are tasty, too, Again, good food - especially for the price, but they just need to make the place a little cleaner. Will try again in a month or so.",
"I eat here at least 2 or 3 times a month. The service is always very friendly and I have not had any problems at all with the delivery time of the food or any occasion in which the food delivered was wrong.\n\nI usually order the gyro or the traditional greek platter. The platter is a large amount of food, so make sure to bring your appetite. My alternate order is some variation of one of their large omelettes. They always come out hot and fluffy.\n\nAte there today and decided to try an order of the eggs benedict. I haven't had that dish for a while and it really sounded good to me. Well, I have to tell you that when it came to my table it was beautiful. I am regretting not taking a picture of it to share. It tasted as good as it looked! The home fries that I ordered with it were also very good.\n\nIf you are looking for some good greek food or you just want to get a burger and fries (they server lamb burgers!!), then I would highly recommend that you give this place a try.",
"Not good. Food is regular and not much flavor to it. The place just feels dirty. It is close to our house so we wanted to try but we will not be going back. Service was not good either. Took three tries to get a refill on our coffee. I rather go to a Waffle House.",
"2nd time here to try & make up for last visit. Food was typical Sysco grease. Chicken was under cooked & pink. And we got overcharged."

"Johnny's is under new management. The place is cleaner and brighter and the food was excellent. I got a Italian hoagie with their homemade chips. I've also had their pizza and that was excellent to.",
"I tried their cheese pizza the other day. I thought the crust was great but the sauce was just ok. Didn't think it was much better than the average pizza in jersey.",
"I was just totally disappointed by this place tonight. I ordered my pizza over the phone at 5:45pm and a rather brisk man on the phone told me it would be about 40 minutes for delivery. I agreed and we hung up. I waited until 6:42pm and then decided to call and check on the status of my pizza. I was told it was on its way and should be there momentarily. I then received a phone call at 6:58pm from the delivery driver who was lost. While I understand that my complex may be slightly difficult to find, I must say that Papa John's has no problem finding me. I would normally find it difficult to believe that I'm the first resident of my complex to order from this place, but after this experience, I can now understand why I am. My pizza finally arrived at 7:12pm...nearly an hour and a half after I ordered it. Unacceptable. Naturally, when I opened up the box, the pizza was anything but hot...luke warm at best. I popped it into my oven and heated it up. The flavor was, well, average and the crust was bland. \n\nOverall...just a bad experience and I have no desire to try them again.",
"Well, I'd like to be able to say the pizza was horrible, but alas, the crappy customer service kept me from even tasting it. I called at 8pm to ask if they deliver to my address. Curtly, the man on the phone says yes, but not for just one pizza. So we decide to order two, visit the website, pick out the toppings and call back at 9pm. Same man on the phone says, sorry, he's too busy to deliver to me. And I reminded him that I called earlier in the evening and he said it was okay as long as it was more than one pizza. So he says he wants to close and that he never said that. Do I have to beg this guy to give him my business? I gladly took my business elsewhere. Vitarelli's was happy to take my order.",
"The owner has been a great supporter of the local schools. The pizza is solid with good sauce. I'd like my crust a bit thicker but otherwise very good. The cheesesteak here was also very good for South Jersey. Finally their grilled cheese varieties are very tasty. Johnny's is definitely a solid go to neighborhood pizzeria.",
"Love Johnny's Pizza...the people are always so nice and my wings come out great every time! :)",
"The owners are very nice and professional. They offer great customer service and so does their staff! Pizza is very tasty/great sauce. I just had their Buffalo Wings for the first time and they are delicious!! I am a regular customer and I will continue to patronize Johnny's Pizza.",
"Friendly staff, consistently fast service, and the best pizza in the neighborhood. They seem to be a big hit with kids from the local elementary school. Our daughter came home talking about them after a classroom pizza party, so we decided to give them a try. Glad we did, they're now our new favorite!",
"Outstanding service, great food and very reasonably priced. Has become one of my favorite places to eat. 50 cent Sunday wings! Where else are ya gonna get 2 slices and a soda for 5 dollars? I highly recommend this place.",
"My girlfriend and I are huge pizza lovers, and try new pizzerias all of the time. We tried Johnny's last week, but weren't too impressed.\n\nWe placed an order for a chicken bacon ranch pizza, sweet potato fries, and cheese poppers.\n\nThe sweet potato fries weren't very good; overcooked and tiny portion- the menu listed only one size.\n\nThe poppers were very well fried, cheesy and delicious. Highly recommend.\n\nThe chicken bacon ranch pizza wasn't cohesive- very strange combination. It was literally ranch dressing, very little cheese, and bacon. There wasn't much chicken at all. The upside was that the bacon was actual bacon strips.\n\nI'd go here again for the poppers, but not much else."

"This is a good place to grab lunch. They have a 1-5 level of hotness that can be applied to any dish which is great for people who love spicy food, or even those who don't. I'd recommend the lunch special #9, which is the fried rice dish. It is excellent.",
"Had lunch there today. Pad Prik King - nice selection of veggies. Good quality nam pla on the side. I've had a better experience in the past. My companion's drunken noodles had a dank aftertaste. Daughter's curry was over tumericed (e.g. bitter). I think I will stick with Chiang Mai on Emerald and Orchard.",
"They have pretty good selection on thai food on the menu. Service was good too. I had ordered their pineapple fried rice. It was decently displayed on the pineapple shell. However, the taste was not all that impressive. There were large semi-raw tomatoes in the fried rice and not much of anything else. A few pieces of chicken, cashew nuts, and egg here and there, but overall it was all soy-sauce fried rice. \n\nI even tried their thai ice tea. Very good price for a good portion of thai ice tea, but okay in taste. There were enough tea flavor and too much milk. I had better thai ice tea somewhere else, but this place's thai tea would pass if you are looking for something pretty decent to drink with your meal.",
"I would agree with Gabe, the heat level is a little all over the place, but it also means that the food is actually being made fresh, obviously not out of a bag here!!\n\nI have only grabbed takeout from here, but have done so 4 times in the last few weeks and everything was delicious, they have a huge variety and everything I have had was really good. The smell alone is fantastic, actually tastes real, very strong flavors.",
"Good food and very friendly staff.\n\nService is not the most prompt, but not unbearably slow or inattentive.\n\nFood, for Boise, gets 3.5 stars. If you're visiting from a bigger city on the west coast, it's about a 3.\n\nIf I had to choose between Chiang Mai restaurant and Bangkok, I'd choose Bangkok every time. Better food, better service and a significantly cleaner restaurant.",
"We sat outside discussing whether or not to go in. \nWhen I see only two customers inside a restaurant, on a weekend night, I get nervous.\nBUT ....alas.... we just beat the crowd. Soon after we sat down, the crowd arrived. \nExtensive menu. So happy to see a specific vegetarian section on the menu. \nA spice level of \"3\" on my dish had my lips burning, but yet with the flavours of peanut sauce, I couldn't stop eating it. \nSmall/intimate setting. Only one server, so your service is relaxed yet attentive. \nA nice surprise for Boise.",
"Worst pad Thai ever, swimming in sauce. Waitress said sorry, sometimes wet sometimes dry. Didn't offer to take it back. I will never be back again.",
"I love Bangkok! As far as Thai restaurants go in the area, it's by far one of my favorites. It's always a great choice for lunch when I'm working in the area, as the lunch prices are around $7.00 a plate and the size seems to be the same as dinner, just less expensive. Everything has wonderful flavor and presentation. My favorite choices are the Pad Thai with Chicken, Green Curry with Chicken, and Pad Se-Ew. Chai Gior is a delicious appetizer as well! \n\nThe servers are all sweet and I never have an issue getting in and out promptly on my lunch break. \n\nI agree the heat level is inconsistent. You pick 1-5 on spiciness and it really changes every time. Once I got it too hot to even eat, and other times I was having to add extra chili paste. \n\nGreat flavor, great value, great service. I'd highly recommend it.",
"Evidently they close whenever they like, ignore the listed hours on their website.\nBut their food is decent. Middle of the pack Thai food for Boise.",
"I had the pad thai level 1 and didnt really care for it. But the rolls were amazing."

"Do we really need another burger joint? They seem to be popping up around the Philly Five County Area like pop corn! Ashys Burger & Fries is located in the Paoli Shopping Center. Upon walking into the store, is the crackling sound of bacon on the grill. The air has a slight smell of bacon. I tried the store mainstay, a Double Bacon Cheeseburger and a small order fries. In the back of my mind, i can picture a cardiologist at the Paoli Hospital rubbing his hands together as I chomp into my medium well cooked colossal feast! The burger taste was ok but the french fries were better than average. They were nice and crunchy with the correct amount of salt.\n\nI plan on returning to Ashys to try what looked like Lamb Kabob (ground up lamb meat with spices) looked intriguing. I will save that sampling for another day!",
"The burger was decent but it was a bit dry and the flavor of the meat seemed to get lost (maybe the meat is a bit too lean). I had a bacon cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato. There is no option for how you want the burger cooked. Well done only which to me is a shame if the meat is supposed to be good. The bun was nice. Contained the meat and toppings well.\n\nThe fries were nice. Maybe a little overcooked but nicely salted and the flavor of the potato was pretty evident. The small portion I ordered was more than sufficient in size.\n\nThe black and white milkshake could have used a bit more \"black\". The inability to have it malted was a little disappointing. Not surprising, but disappointing. \n\nSo...three stars then. I will be going back to try some of their other menu items. I'm a sucker for a good gyro and chicken sandwiches so fingers crossed.",
"I was starving. It was already 3PM and I last ate sometime early morning. So by the time I walked into Ashys I was ready.\n\nSince they had just opened in the Paoli Shopping Center I figured-check em out.\n\nI walked through the door and the only occupied table had an employee sitting and reading the newspaper. Ok, it's late after lunch and before dinner.\nBut you get it, I'm the only customer in the store.\n\nAnd no one is paying attention to me. No hello, no nod of the head-not even interest that I'm there.\nThe cashier is languishing behind the counter doing nothing.\nI look around to see what they have to offer, and finally spot the pamphlet menu on the side of the cash register.\n\nI'm already thinking, why didn't I wait and go to 5Guys.\n\nOrdered a cheese burger, small fries and soda. $9.72 to go.\nTook 5-10 minutes to get it. To be expected.\n\nBeing so hungry I ketchup-ed everything up and took a bite of the burger right then and there.\nOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH why didn't I wait for 5Guys.\n\nGot in the car and started eating the fries. Okay they were hot and crispy, but NO flavor. Salt? Somebody talked about salt? There was nothing on them except the oil they were fried in.\n\nEven the ketchup and additional salt packs could not cover the bland taste. And when they got warm, they turned from crunch to rubber.\n\nI finally dug in to the rest of the burger when I got home. Put tons of salt and ketchup on it, and still you could taste the blandness.\n\nAnd all I can say is go to 5GUYS.\n\nI will not be going back to ASHYS any time in the future.",
"GOOD ~ Their Homemade Chili was my favorite! It's kind of like the filling you get in a Australian Meat Pie, including the vegetables.\n\nAVERAGE ~ The Cheese Burger, Fries and Chocolate Chip Cookies were ok.\n\nOK ~ My Hotdog fell apart b/k the roll got soggy from being wrapped in aluminum foil.",
"I completely agree with E.A. If you are hungry for a burger go to 5 Guys and take a PASS on Ashys. \n\nBurger = pale and tasteless - oh, unless you count the nasty aftertaste. \n\nBurger Toppings = if you like pale tomatoes and pickles rinsed of all good pickley flavor, be my guest. I would have to say if I went back (only if I had a gun to my head and the assailant wanted to go here) I would have a sandwich with just the toppings. As bad as they were they were at least better than the burger. \n\nFries = cheap - also tasteless. \n\nFalafel App = okay if you smothered them in the cucumber yogurt sauce and you tried to forget they were reheated and mealy as you ate them. \n\nSkip it.",
"Well, I can't really add anything that E.A, D.L., and R.R. have not already said. Blah taste on burger and fries. Burger so overcooked it did not taste like beef. The pickles were rinsed of taste. The fries were bland (no salt) and did not really taste like fries. Maybe change to peanut oil and don't over cook the burgers and I might try it again.",
"I am new to this whole writing reviews about food and new restaurants, but I thought I would start with this new Burger place near my house. I eat here almost three times a week now , and I was never a burger person but they have so much more then just burgers and to me this makes them way better then any burger place I ever been too. \n\nLet me first comment about the other comments I read, you people are idiots and have no clue what good food is. Fives guys is a chain and that is why they are liked because it is familiar so people who are followers continue to think five guys is the best burger place but all and all I went there once and never went back. \n\nAshy's burgers , I ordered a Mushroom and Swiss the first time I went here and it's amazing , they have this garlic sauce that just makes the burger and it is so juicy and the flavor is great. Their buns are my favorite it is a sesame country bun and it's unbelievable. Their fries don't even need any salt they are already flavored which is less calories on my end, and their so crispy. The second time I went I decided to try something different instead of a burger. I tried the grilled chicken sandwich , OMG!!! SO juicy and tender, it melted in my mouth. They also have a variety of healthy foods which you don't see very often, like salads and vegetarians should try their veggie burger , it's the best veggie burger I ever had outside of my own home . All around I think this place is great and wish them nothing but luck , their customers service is amazing so friendly and homie.",
"I've had good experiences every time I've gone there. I recommend getting the burger with their garlic sauce. It really enhances the flavor. The gyro is one of the best you will find anywhere.",
"well, unfortunately, im going to have to disagree with most of the other reviewers. Im sorry if you hate that another burger place has arrived, but id rather see another burger place than some lame so so pizza joint, seriously! Anyhow, Ashy's was spot on when i went. There were alot of people when i went, probably like 10 - 15 people. Everbody was grubbin. I have been jonesing to go to Primanti's, so when i saw their version on the menu, i had to order it! 2 of 'em in fact! I took em back to my work, delicious. I mean cmon, bacon, cheese, the works, plus fries on your burger... Ya gotta get over to Ashy's and support a new local shop! Great guys in there! Im going back as soon as I can to try the falafel, chili, and jalapeno poppers!",
"Ashys burger is not worth your time. I was short on time during a lunch break and thought I would give it a shot.\n I ordered a bacon cheese burger and fries. Not only was I unhappy with paying $ 10.50, but I also got burnt bacon on my burger. The fries had no salt on them and the burger had no flavor. \nI suggest driving an extra 10 min down the street to five guys if your in the area and crave a burger."

"I was looking for Krispy Krunchy Chicken because of the great Yelp reviews. However, I learned that it changed ownership and thus the name of the restaurant. \n\nThere is no public restroom. The eating area can accommodate several guests. \n\nI ordered the #2 - 2 dark pieces of chicken and a biscuit for $3.99. It was juicy but not as special as I thought it would be.",
"Sunny's Chicken is great. I took my family there yesterday and we really enjoyed it. The chicken tenders were amazing. Very big and juicy. The management was very friendly and they made us feel like family. This is a gem of a family restaurant on the south side. Great prices and lunch specials too.",
"This place is great!! Huge juicy chicken tenders, fried okra, fried corn on the cob, awesome biscuits. People are very friendly and you get a lot of food for your money! Support mom & pops shops!!",
"I went to Sunny's for the first time planning to take their fried chicken home for dinner. When I got there the chicken strips looked so good I had to try them and they were good. Big enough to keep their moisture with a good crispy crust (not heavy), two was enough for dinner for both my husband and I. The onion rings (cooked to order) were good but not quite done so greasy and not crisp, would have been good if cooked until done. I got the family meal and appreciated the option of some sides that were not deep fried, the red beans and rice were good and more satisfying. I am not usually a biscuit fan but they do theirs a little different and they were good. We will be back to try the fried chicken and coleslaw, food was fresh and the staff was helpful in ordering. There are tables to eat in but definitely an afterthought, cooler take up a lot of space, very efficient in takeout.",
"I've have eaten there quite a bit. The food is always hot and fresh. In the past under the former ownership, on more than one occasion my food was over cooked and or the oil was old or dirty and in need of changing. Since it became Sunny's that problem has become a thing of the past, I hope. The staff is always friendly and helpful.",
"I have ordered from Sunny twice now and both time was delivery. I tried a few things on the menu, like their chicken fingers, chicken burrito, shredded chicken sandwich, and chicken nachos. Everything was delicious. Their chicken is tender and their house made sauce is very good. The lady who delivered to me both times was a sweetheart. I recommend their tasty food to anyone who enjoys fresh, tender chicken. Thank you for the great food and amazing service.",
"This is a small restaurant but it packs a lot of flavor the staff is very friendly the food was piping hot I just wished I had my phone to have taken pictures, baby we need a Sunny's chicken on all four sides of town, the variety is great, it's a great little secret that needs to be shared more.. I had fried chicken, I enjoyed okra my husband had potato wedges with his chicken we shared red beans and rice it was just great! The service was awesome very friendly staff and management.",
"I went to this location when it was called Crispy Crunchy Chicken. \nIt has since changed ownership and has been renamed Sunny's. \nIt was OK back then, just as it is now. \n\n\nWhen one uses the definition or description of a 'hole in the wall' restaurant, this place has it's picture next to it in the dictionary. There is absolutely zero atmosphere, and there is really no place to sit in peace and eat. The place looks tidy and clean enough, so I was OK with the complete reality of that part of the situation. It's just best to pick up your food and get the heck out of there. \n\nThe chicken tasted above acceptable. It was very crispy, and also tasted very juicy and *moist* (*yes, I dare to use that unappreciated and despised word - hehe), and it had a decent amount of seasoning. \n\nThe mashed potatoes were surprisingly palatable as those type of potatoes go in places like Sunnys. The biscuits were decent too. \nThe mac and cheese was very runny and could use a little work, and the breaded mushrooms were probably pre-frozen / prepackaged. \nI love onion rings and was a little bit curious about their's, but I have a feeling it's probably the same situation as the breaded mushrooms.\nThey have many other sides to choose from, so I really can't accurately comment on any of those because I didn't try them.\nIt could be more of the same,......or could it be a pleasant surprise ? \n\nAll in all, I would consider going there again. \n\nAgain, at the very least, I would pick up a load of just their fried chicken and take it home.",
"I went in here the other night for the first time. Trying to find something fast and easy to feed my family. I wasn't feeling very good and the lady working there talked to me and made me tea as I waited for my chicken. She treated me as I was family and I am very thankful for this. I am sorry I didn't catch your name but I hope you read this and know that I truly appreciate the tea. I have never met somebody so nice in my life. The food was also amazing. I will be back for sure. Thank you so much for tea!",
"Some of the best chicken I've ever had . I ordered the 3 piece dark with a biscuit and green beans chicken was superb"

"I ordered the Southwestern Chicken and got a slider sized portion of meat. No visible / tastable Cholula on it and it cost $14 for the meal. No thanks!",
"Get ready to wait! Luckily, we had time to kill since our flight was delayed. Here's the key to Grounded--get the kids burger. No, it's not as fancy as the other burgers, but you get a drink and a full-sized order of fries for just over $5. Compared to an adult-sizes burger (which, honestly, isn't that much bigger) for $7-12 with no fries.",
"On Wednesday at 5:30 pm they did not have sweet potato fries or milkshakes. No ice cream. No apology or even an excuse . Poor management planning and training. Maybe they need to rethink this.",
"Long wait, surly staff, then I ended up with chicken instead of beef. I didn't even know they served chicken. I ordered the melt, with sautéed mushrooms, onions and provolone cheese. I got a slider sized chicken breast, no onions (no beef) and some of the most boring fries ever. The fries are put in a tinfoil pouch, which causes them to be gooey mush after sitting around for a few minutes. \n\nWhy was there a line at this place? I guess it was the only non-sit down, non market food in Terminal A.",
"I should have read the reviews first. I ordered a classic burger with no onions; received some strange concoction with sauces ... and onions. I ordered regular fries; got tater tots with some sweet potato ones thrown in too. But hungry, I dove in -- which was a mistake. The bun tasted stale, the burger like a frozen patty; the tots were chewy. With a Coke it cost me $12. The only reason this gets any stars at all is because at least the girl at the counter was pleasant.",
"Very friendly staff. Southwest burger was good not great. Toppings not super noticeable and burger a little dry (maybe overlooked). Sweet potatoe fries had way too much cinnamon for my taste. Chocolate milkshake with Reese's was very good. Good alternative to slow service and high prices at Beers of the World and cheaper than Mosaic (which is a good food option here if you have time) I will give them another chance for sure to let them work out some of the new restaurant kinks.",
"Terrible overpriced airport food. We placed our order & had to wait 20 minutes to get the food while multiple people in front of us got there orders. The chicken was bland and a very small piece of chicken. Brioche bun tastes nothing like Brioche. Milkshake in chocolate Is equivalent to Wendy's Frosty with extra chocolate sauce. Fries and tater tots were served cold and soggy. No apologies from the server taking orders. Better off with typical fast food then overpaying here.",
"Burgers taste like and are presented like a crappy amusement park burger. The staff messed up my order and then gave the burger that I had opened up and touched to another customer. Terrible service with bad food to match the service.",
"Do not stop at this burger place - the food is not worth it! Flat taste of the burger, tasteless bun and toppings. Even the fries sucked!",
"When your alternatives are pre-packaged deli sandwiches, or microwaved pub food, one would gravitate towards the idea of freshly made burgers and fries. Unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to (the very low) expectations. Tasteless, dry, every adjective you could imagine that would describe a piece of meat that sat under a red lamp for hours before I decided to order it. Stay away, go for the pre-packaged sandwich."

"Sarita's Grill just recently re-opened after being closed from katrina. Seeing as it is only down the street from tulane, Sarita's may become my new place for a good, quick lunch.\n\nThe food is good and the price is great - two of us ate there for $18.50 after tax, and we couldn't even finish our food. The Havana (pulled pork plate) was delicious. \n\nThe service was VERY friendly, and even though it is only run by a wife an husband they both had time to chat us up. My only regret is that we didn't leave room for the flan, it looked amazing.\n\nNote: Bring a student ID and get 20% off!",
"Freret St s coming back, and part of it is Saritas grill -- a combination of Cuban, Nicaraguan and Mexican food. It's next to the Martial Arts Gym, not far from Napoleon (4520 Freret St, New Orleans, LA). Its where Las Penitas used to be. Here's the Streetview: http://tinyurl.com/Saritas\n\nAnyway the food there is great and inexpensive. They give you a free chips and jalapeno queso with every order (at the time of writing). I have had the Cuban plate, which is slow roasted pork (great flavor), black beans, rice, and fried yucca. I have also had the Chinnie bowl which is ribeye and grilled onions over rice (it's ribeye so it can be a bit fatty). My wife had pork and ribeye tacos. And it's relatively cheap, with the most expensive item being only $10 or so.\n\nThey don't serve booze, but they welcome you to bring it in.",
"This is our new favorite restaurant. The flavors are so fresh, the service so very personable, their story inspiring! I will attest to everything every other poster has said, all meats are tender, beans cooked throughout, chips addictive, pico tasty, and (forgive the caps here) THE CHEESECAKE FLAN is to die for. My husband had a problem sharing...and he is not a dessert guy. We love Saritas....please go here and support this new local business.",
"Brightly colored Latin restaurant in a semi-run-down stretch of Freret. I loved the murals that somehow incorporated both New Orleans and Latin American themes. Interesting to say the least.\n\nThe complimentary queso tasted more like velveeta and less like authentic dairy product. No salsa served with the chips :-( Menu was fairly limited to tacos, \"bowls\", and a few meat-based plates. I opted for the tacos - two chicken, two pork. Pork tasted like...pork. Nothing more - no seasonings to speak of. Chicken was better. Black beans tasted like nothing as well. The tortillas seemed like they were purchased from Sysco... and they were flour! What gives? Catering to gringos I guess? I was very pleased with the amount of food for the money, but the quality just wasn't there. Honestly it reminded me of taco night growing up.\n\nI didn't try the seemingly magical flan, but maybe it would have been the meal's saving grace. I'll try again.\n\nA star because the waitress was *really* cool, another star because of the student discount.",
"Nice change of pace from the usual suspects in the burrito/taco genre. I had the Havana and thought the pork was very good ... it may not be loaded with spices but it's good quality meat, without much fat. I also really liked the fried yucca ... haven't come across that anywhere else. Inexpensive, friendly service and there were a bunch of cops eating there for whatever that's worth.",
"I agree that the atmosphere is a little odd, but the food was definitely tasty, service was friendly, and the prices were fair. Why only 3 stars? Because I don't think they make their own guacamole; that's why.\n\nIt's that stuff that comes in a pouch that you can buy at the grocery store, and it is edible, but this is a restaurant focused on tacos. Someone has got to get real. That being said, I had the shrimp tacos and they were really, really tasty. I will come back, but if they made their own guacamole, I would be a huge fan.",
"We had a great meal at Sarita's over the weekend. The atmosphere was funky/cool but the music wasn't something we were crazy for. Management happily changed the music at our request and it made for a much more enjoyable experience.\n\nYou must try the pork, really really good. Also the best plantains I have tasted in the city. This is my new favorite spot for Cuban fare and it is great to see a business making a go of it in the up-and-coming Freret neighborhood. \n\nMy only suggestion would be the addition of Cuban coffee to the menu.",
"The food is tasty and authentic, the prices are cheap, and the couple who run the place are super sweet! It's kind of a blend of central american, cuban and mexican food. Everything I've had there was terrific. \n\nSkip giving your money to an out of town corporation (Felipe's) and support a local New Orleans business! I think the owners are workin on havin kids, so come on now!",
"I'm a fan of what Sarita is doing with her self-named neighborhood eatery which opened only a few months ago on a stretch of Freret St. that could definitely use a few more places like this. She's cooking Latin fusion dishes from the heart, much of it that you can't get elsewhere. I've never seen plantains anywhere else in the Big Easy. Her Mexibowls are great. The default is a bowl and not a burrito, though they can be made into a burrito for like a buck more. All of her ingredients are fresh and she's super friendly and welcoming. The neighborhood can use more places like this!",
"If I could give it more stars I would. The food was super. We had guacamole ,queso dip, which was free and chips to start. Nic had the \"Super Bowl\" . Chicken, steak, and all the fixings. I had the \"Mexi Bowl\" with shrimp. The shrimp were huge and there were plenty of them on the plate. Then Nic had the fried plantains with sour cream and I had the flan. We both had the mango tea. The owner/waitress was wonderful. She made us feel like we had been coming there for years and it was our first, but not last, trip. I was so comfortable there, it was like eating in her kitchen. It is totally unpretentious. We will return for sure and bring friends with us."

"In the land of the Wawa sponge, there is a beacon of hope.. a taste of South Philadelphia.. I had a wonderful Original Italian hoagie. Beginning with crusty sesame seeded roll, the fresh cut meats (Boars Head) the mozzarella and sharp provolone cheese.. it was a revelation as to how good a hoagie in the suburbs can be.",
"Every time I come to this area I just have to go to Palantes to get their tomato basil mozzarella pie. Though this is an Italian deli, they serve better pizza than most in the area! Wait time can be a little long though so be sure to call ahead to order before you are really hungry.",
"The best deli I've ever been too. They have the best hoagies I've ever had. Good selection of lunchmeats, rolls, and Italian specialties. Can't say enough good things about this place, a nice hidden gem in richboro.",
"really solid deli! best hoagies around. \nbetter rolls than anyone nearby. Pizza is really good. and consistent. Meatball sandwich is really special. better quality than any other place nearby. \n\nstill great 2 years later. Tuna hoagie is the best for miles. shooters are amazing. never fails to be great. \n\nmy biggest complaint is the short hours and closed on Monday. \n\n- hours are still short. closed many times when i would order, like sunday night at 5pm.",
"Great Italian deli ! Everything is very fresh . Love the rolls. Artichoke pizza is my favorite there. Soup is great. No complaints at all ...my family \nLoves Palantes Deli. Everything is presentable and wrapped well for a take out deli. They definetly take pride in there bussiness. # 1 Italian Deli.",
"This is Richboro's hidden gem. With the amount of Italian restaurants competing in Richboro, Palante's is hands down the best deli/pizzeria in the area. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Dominick's and taormina's. But Palante's has a distinct taste that I always crave\n\nFirst off: if you want anything on the weekends you better call first thing in the morning to order ahead of time. This place gets packed with orders. \n\nThe rolls are from Sarcone's in south Philadelphia. Meaning the hoagies are on the finest, freshest rolls you wi ever bite into. \n\nThe pizza. Where do I begin? The pizza is amazing. I recommend getting:\n\nTomato basil pie \nVeggie Pie (the wheat dough is good as well)\nAnd the pie with cheese on the bottom and sauce on top. \n\nThey also have the best homemade roast beef. \n\nIf you're in the mood for a panini, get the Emilio. \n\nStaff is friendly and they even sell slices of stocks bakery pound cake! \n\nGO HERE. You won't regret it.",
"By far the best hoagies around. Bread is incredible and the selection of hoagies is amazing! I order from here all the time and have never been disappointed. You have to try for yourself don't just take my word for it. This place is \"legit\"!",
"Best hoagie of my life. I live nearby and I have to keep myself from going here every day. Their honey mustard is divine. My mouth is watering just thinking of eating here. I usually get a turkey hoagie with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and the aforementioned honey mustard on a seedless roll. The portions are generous so I get a small hoagie for lunch or a half hoagie if I am not eating anything else that day. There was a primo's in the same shopping complex but they were twice the price and half as nice so they closed. I am sad that Palante's is closed on Mondays because that is one less hoagie day.",
"Roast pork with long hots is the best!",
"Absolutely the best hoagies. Friendly and fast service and incredible hot/prepared foods too. The place literally reeks of Italy in the best of ways.\n\nI always get the turkey with fresh motz. Unbelievable!\n\nYou've got to give this place a try. It's worth every penny."

"My first time here and I had an amazing experience! The friendly server greeted us at the door. The restaurant is small but very cute with authentic, relaxing decor. We ordered sushi which was Hawaiian, tropical mango, sweet potato and avocado rolls. \nThe owner brought us salad and soups on the house and also desert on the house after dinner, which was very generous! He talked to us for few minutes and we could tell he's very passionate about his business. \n\nAll I can say is that this is a place that I would definitely be a regular at. Very delicious food, super friendly people and it's close to home.",

Very delicious food, super friendly people and it's close to home.",
"Gave this brand new restaurant a try the other night. Overall, we can't wait to go back. We got there a little early (5:30?) on a Friday night, and it was empty, but it quickly started to fill up. It is a pretty small space, so it fills easily. We started with a seaweed salad, which was good in an exactly-what-I-expected way. Good portion, good flavor, just enough dressing. I had an appetizer of yellow tail and jalapenos, which was excellent. Just enough heat and sauce that you could still taste the generous portion of fish. My wife had spring rolls, which came as 6 (?) mini deep fried rolls, and she loved them. For dinner, we each had a few sushi rolls. All were excellent. I did order one special roll, and was a bit disappointed - For all of the ingredients - two sauces, two fish, etc.... it was a bit bland. Not in a bad way, just not the \"pop\" I expected. Still can't wait to eat here again. Prices were typical of sushi in this area, and it was about $70 for the two of us, not including tip, or the free and delicious fried ice cream we were served afterwards.",
"Love this tiny little local place! Friendly people, awesome food with great selection. Highly recommend.",
"This restaurant just opened and I am so happy it did! Really good sushi! We checked in on Facebook and we got a free California roll (not sure how long that promo will last, but get it while it's here!!) and we got the Kani salad and Angry dragon roll. The Kani salad was good, I prefer mine a little spicier, and maybe a little crunch (panko and more tabiko) but it was still good. The angry dragon roll was AMAZING. I will def get that every time we go back. The staff is very friendly and the place is decorated well. I am already planning to come back soon! Highly recommended!",
"Just got finished with my first experience at Saku. Very pleased! I'm so happy to have a sushi bar so close by. The decor was tasteful, the server was extra attentive, and the food was great. We tried the Hawaiian special roll, which was very nice. A nice sauce with a tad of spice, not too cloyingly sweet. My sashimi and sushi was tender and cut beautifully. Portion sizes are great, even slightly large, for the price! We even sampled a dessert item and it was very tasty! Can't wait to return, or even do take out. And I thought I curbed my sushi addiction!",
"Went there again for take out last night. The staff remembered my name. They are the friendliest people! :)",
"Can't wait to eat here!\nOwner is super nice and gave my office menus. \nWill be trying them this week\nI love sushi and he promises it's the best around!! \nI'm looking forward to a weekend trip to see if he's telling the truth!!",
"I got take out from here and was not disappointed! It's 5 mins from my house, delicious, and quick. Being pregnant I can't eat raw sushi, so I had the spider roll, shrimp tempura roll, and the banana peanut butter tempura roll (not the actual name but I can't remember what it's called) for dessert. Both shrimp and crab rolls were delicious and the banana roll was amazingly delicious. It was soggy from my drive home, but even soggy it was amazing so I can only imagine eating it in the restaurant. I will definitely be ordering from them again! I can't wait until I can eat raw sushi again - yummm!",
"My wife and I went for dinner yesterday and this place well exceeded our expectations. The prices are great ($2.95 for a nice sized ginger salad) and the sushi was excellent. We had a little bit of everything, Shrimp Tempura rolls, Philly Roll, and a few special rolls and they were all fantastic. \n\nHighly recommend."

"My experience was drastically different from the first reviewer. I thoroughly enjoyed almost all aspects of the experience, most importantly though, was the food. I am reluctant to provide a review based on one meal, but I felt this place deserved a better score than it currently holds.\n\nMaking the reservation was the first pleasant experience. They asked if this was a special occasion and gave me a great list of cakes to choose from over the phone (it was my wife's birthday). Upon arrival, we were greeted quickly and shown to our seat. \n\nMy wife and I started with cocktails from the specialty drink list. The Toreador was perfect. Tequila, fresh citrus, sugar, and a hint of sage. For an appetizer, our kind waitress suggested the tuna carpaccio, a Eric Ripert signature dish, but we both were curious about the fish burger with saffron aioli and ordered that instead. Hands down, this was one of the top five burgers I have ever had. The burger is large chunks of tender striped bass topped with a subtle saffron flavor that is pure goodness. I highly recommend this.\n\nOur main courses were the rabbit and bouillabaisse. I had never had breaded rabbit and am excited to say that it was very good. The thin strips were crusted perfectly and served over a wonderful combination of fresh whole grain mustard and local peas and beans. I am not a big bouillabaisse person myself, but my wife seemed to enjoy it - her only comment was that it could have used more starch or bread. \n\nThe lemon, pistachio, raspberry, crème brûlée birthday cake was amazing, and very reasonably priced. \n\nIt was a wonderful meal, and I would like to go back again and give it another try. The food is reasonably priced for the high quality fare (12-36), but there is barely a drink listed under $15, which really adds up. Like I said in the preface, I would not normally judge on one sitting, but this was a very good sitting that I can comfortably recommend.",
"In terms of the food tasted, 10 art's dishes are uncomplicated and flawless, and deserves 5 stars being among the most delectable in Philly.\n\nWith its confused decor, mediocre bread, and overeager waitstaff, I worried that the halibut special I ordered would be too bland after I noticed that 10 arts is one of those places that don't supply tables with salt and pepper.\n\nHowever, any doubts about the quality of 10 art's food were dashed by the arrival of our entrees, which were all exquisitely flavored (without any self-seasoning), and perfectly done. My halibut dish and the flat-iron steak and striped bass that others ordered were all 100% delicious (the menu is seafood heavy:)), and well-portioned to leave you perfectly satisfied without feeling overfull and immobile. \n\nSo go elsewhere to lounge with drinks, but come to 10 arts to experience some of the best food the city has to offer.",
"This is your classic tale of a restaurant that has a pretty gorgeous interior, solid (if still obviously very new) staff, and a kitchen that cannot live up to its billing.\n\nFirst, it's in the Ritz, so the place is immaculate. Huge columns, night club-style lighting, holographic light walls...all pretty cool looking. I liked how the club lighting contrasted with the old-world columns. The circular wine cellar in the middle of the lobby/restaurant was amazing. I want one. \n\nWe were seated immediately by a very nice hostess. Very professional. The restaurant was nearly empty at 8:45pm on a FRIDAY...eh, that's a bad sign 99% of the time. \n\nOur server asked if we wanted Fiji or Pellegrino. Did not even ask if we wanted tap. Bad sign # 2. \n\nWe were promptly brought menus and the water came out quickly. The wine list is just average. The prices were absurd. A bottle of 2005 Duckhorn sauvignon blanc sells for $24 at Total Wine. They had it for $85! Terrazas Malbec sells for $11. They had it for $42. We're talking four times mark up on wine here, people. That is simply unacceptable to me. I settled on a toreador cocktail. It was fine but it was also $15. Oh, and she brought us the wrong drink the first time, the second time she said they don't have it, and the third she returned with it. I can excuse that because she's pretty new, I'd assume.\n\nWe ordered an order of the pretzels with three sauces from the lounge menu ($10), the salmon rilette ($13), two of the flat iron steaks ($26 each), the bouillabaisse ($28 I think), and the striped bass \"Grand Mere\" ($34) and a side of mac and cheese ($10). \n\nThe pretzels were good, if too salty. The dipping sauces were good but nothing special. In fact, this appetizer was something that tasted pretty similar to what you'd get at Auntie Anne's pretzels but with a bit harder shell. They did come with a jalapeno jelly that I liked a lot.\n\nI didn't try the salmon but our guests seemed to like it a lot.\n\nThe steaks came a la carte. This was a bit surprising, but I guess it shouldn't have been as the menu didn't say anything besides \"shallot sauce.\" One steak was ordered medium and one medium rare. Both came out the exact same degree of doneness. Awful. You're a \"top\" restaurant! Learn how to cook a steak! The medium steak was done rare in the center. My girlfriend wouldn't even finish it as it was cool and red in the center. The other steak was the same but our friend likes rare steak so it wasn't a big deal. The steak was pretty tender and carried a nice flavor.\n\nThe bouillabaisse was incredibly fishy. The shellfish were good according to our friend but the striped bass was overcooked to the point of being almost inedible. Dry, chewy, ruined. Also, the waitress could not specify what sort of shellfish were in the dish (as our friend is allergic to scallops and wanted to avoid them...there weren't any but the waitress didn't know for sure).\n\nThe Grand Mere was probably the best dish at the table but it still had its flaws. Two pieces of bass were served in a slightly bland broth with various vegetables (fingerlng potato slices, asparagus, snap peas, haricot verts, sun dried tomato, all fresh). The smaller piece of bass was tough while the larger piece was cooked perfectly. Obviously, they were cooked for the same amount of time and the smaller one just became overcooked. \n\nThe mac and cheese was so salty that I could not eat it. It had a sea salt crust on top (at least the bread crumbs had a lot of sea salt in them). Who does that?\n\nWe did not stick around for dessert.\n\nI'd probably not recommend. I'd not go back any time soon.",
"I hadn't been to the Ritz-Carlton in a while, so I was surprised to see that its newest restaurant, 10 Arts, literally takes up the entire lobby area (which was formerly a bar and cocktail/dining area for the hotel). There's definitely been a lot of hype surrounding 10 Arts so I was expecting more and was a bit let down. \n\nThe food was good, but not mind-blowing. At 10 Arts, you can expect higher end comfort food...great mac & cheese, freshly made tagliatelle, burgers, great fries, corn chowder, etc...paired with a pretty good wine list.\n\nThe service was impeccable - the friendly and attentive host & waiter staff was similar to those you'd come across at The Fountain Room at the Four Seasons or Lacroix at the Rittenhouse Hotel. The service gets 5 stars for sure. I do agree that the space feels cold, especially when it the restaurant isn't full. The ceilings and columns in the space are beautiful but so high that being surrounded by marble feels a bit unwelcoming.\n\nFinal thoughts...\nFor the quality food and impeccable service, I really would have given 10 Arts 4 stars. But I think a rating over 4 stars means you plan to make a return visit. It's a place I'm happy to have tried once yet have no desire to return to. I'd rather spend a little less money on similar well-made comfort food elsewhere or for the money, ambiance, and hype I would hope for something more unexpected and a higher level of fine dining.",
"I expected 10 Arts to be way overpriced and I was wrong! Sure this is not the place to go have a light meal, but I think it would be a great place for a date. I also thought there would be a dress code. There was not. \n\nI dined in jeans and a casual shirt. The menu I think is suitable for most pockets. Again, not the place to gorge on a dime. There are two menus, actually there are three! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Depending on where you are in the Ritz-Carlton's grand rotunda, you can also order off of the Lounge menu which is more affordable of course. \n\nI could see myself here having drinks and such from the lounge menu with a special someone after a wonderful night of theatre. I did not think the staff was snobby at all and I would have expected that from my attire. We even met the chef who actually said hello to every table. \n\nMaybe the hardcore winer may have issue with this venue, but I think 10 Arts is suitable for the high class guest as well as the everyday Philadelphian. Congrats to 10 Arts for finding a mid-way point that encourages a non-RC guest to dine in such an elegant setting without hurting the pocket! I am a fan of 10 Arts!",
"I thought this place was delightful - although the atmosphere was totally not what I was expecting...it is kind of thrown in the corner of the Ritz lobby and has a very sexy, dark, hip thing going on, which is kind of odd considering that the food is very much French comfort style bistro cuisine...with that said, it does somehow work in mismatched kind of way.\n\nWe ordered two salads, and if I were to go back (which I probably will next time I am in town) I would get the romaine with vinaigrette one again, it was just the perfect blend of crunchy, acidic, salty, and fresh tasting salad I have had. We also tried the roasted chicken with country stuffing, which was amazing as well (this should be a required ordering item). The bouillabaisse was very good also.\n\nService was good, cocktails were good, and the bill was impressively low for what we got.",
"Disappointment = The Act of Disappointing. \n10 Arts = The Expensive Art of Disappointing. \n\nRather than starting my bitch list about this place, I have decided to take the high road and recommend 10 Edible Arts and Crafts that you can do at home. \n\n1. Marzipan Pottery \n2. Vegetable Puppets \n3. Carrot Prints \n4.Turtle Bread \n5. Fruit Leather Purse \n6. Vegetable Landscapes \n7. Sandwich Art \n8. Mini Bread Monsters \n9.Cookie Paintings \n10. Log Cabins (no political ties) \n\nFor the location, the price and to compete with other Philadelphia Restaurants in this price range they need to do simply much, much better. I guess if the do not improve soon, we will need to review the next restaurant at this location. Looking forward to it. \n\nFor more information on edible crafts please go to FamilyFun.com",
"I don't know, maybe I am a food snob and pickier than I should be, but I was not very impressed with this place. I had high hopes too. Now granted I went here last night as part of Restaurant Week (because my @ss is poor). My conclusion? This restaurant is not worth the price tag. \n\nThe food was good but not great. The best part of my meal was the appetiser salad. It was a mix of young spring greens that had a nice vinaigrette and was paired well with a strong warm goat cheese and sweet baby sugar beets. \n\nThe main course I opted for was a pasta dish with a mushroom reduction that was ok, but nothing special. The dish was made with no cream in the sauce but still seemed heavy. \n\nThe dessert was good but once again nothing to make me come back to the restaurant again. The addition of bitter chocolate in the banana bread pudding was a mistake as it overpowered even the banana flavor (which is not by any means a subtle flavor). \n\nOn the positive side the service is great. Our glasses were never empty the dishes, and silverware were replaced promptly after ever course. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes and wines being paired with them. This made for a very pleasant dining experience overall.",
"I had dinner at 10 Arts this evening with a friend for Philadelphia Restaurant Week. I always take advantage of Restaurant Week; I've had some good experiences and some not so good experiences. This was a good one.\n\n10 Arts is located in the Ritz Carlton and fits very well into the hotel decor and feel. We were seated and I immediately notice the flatware. A quirk, but this makes an important impression on me, sets the ton. I loved the flatware, it was a good weight, angular, and aesthetically interesting.\n\nWe chose to have the wine pairing with each course, and it was well worth it. Very tasty wines that paired very well with each of our choices.\n\nI started with the corn chowder with smoked salt. It was good, not great. \nMy friend had the stripped bass croquettes. These were very good, and the citrus sauce was fantastic.\n\nFor the second course I had a wonderful dish: trout with a brown butter sauce, hazelnuts, and bok choy. This was really delicious. The brown butter sauce's nuttiness played well against the sweet trout. The hazelnuts were a great textural contrast. My friend had the short rib. She was happy with it, but didn't LOVE the meat. Had only good things to say about the creamy mashed potatoes.\n\nFor dessert I opted for the hazelnut parfait and my friend went for the banana bread pudding. We switched. The pumpkin ice cream and spiced pumpkin seeds with the hazelnut did not work for me, but my friend really enjoyed it. The banana bread pudding was really very good with a bourbon ice cream and caramelized bananas. \n\nThe service was good. Our water glasses we very well taken care of as were we.\n\nIt was nice to finish up and head right across the lobby to the bar for a final glass of wine.\n\nI would recommend dining at 10 Arts, and no surprise, would definitely recommend a fish dish. Not sure about non-Restaurant week pricing, but I would go again.",
"This review is for the Bar Area/Lounge at 10 Arts.\n\nA really special, gorgeous spot for a drink with your girly pals, or a stop on the romance train if you're on a date. Was just there for a quick stop with my fabulous friend Sara Moore a few days ago. Drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but it's 10 Arts at the Ritz, so there you go. I had a verrry nice wine in a gorgeous glass. Wine always taste better to me if it's served in nice stemware. \n\nIt's gone through some recent decor changes, and I can't tell if it's really very modern-looking, or just retro cool. Anyway, it's pretty nice."

"I went here with my wife and another couple. In total we ordered a nice mix of Chinese and Japanese food. The one word that we all found ourselves saying over and over was WOW. The sushi rolls tasted perfect and the Chinese food dishes tasted home made. I live about 20 minutes from this place but I would consider making this my take out place of choice!\n\nI had a simple sushi meal, california roll, eel roll, and a special roll called the perfect roll which was a mix of spicy tuna and spicy salmon wrapped together. I was very pleased with my meal.",
"Most places that try to Chinese and Japanese food manage to mess up one or the other. This is the only place I've been that gets both right and in a big way. \n\nI'm a vegetarian so I've only had the veggie dishes but they were all awesome (especially the sweet yam rolls!) The last time I ate there they gave us a complimentary bowl of edamame to munch on. If you live in the area check it out, you won't be disappointed!",
"This place is my definition of \"A diamond in the rough\". \nFrom the outside it may look like an abandoned diner, and the inside is only slightly nicer. You'll notice some gaudy early 90s light fixtures, faded threadbare carpets, and the general tackiness that you may have come to expect.\nThe servers aren't overly attentive as of late, so between that and the aging ambiance, you may want to use this as a favorite takeout joint instead of your date night go-to spot.\n\nHowever, despite these things I can't stay away for long; while they may not be the most attractive restaurant around, they make up for it with the food itself. For good reason, they are a local favorite and have been here for a long time. The food is good, the variety is great, and the prices are right where they should be. The owner is always up front at the register and cares about his customers' happiness.\n\nFor entrees, we tend to lean toward the Beef Chow Ho Fun or the General Tso's tofu. They have plenty of other great options but those are our usual choices. The chicken with Szechaun sauce is a good choice as well!\n\nWhile Chinese is their focus, they have a lot of Japanese, Sushi, and Thai food as well. \nI highly recommend trying my wife's favorite sushi, the \"Woodbury Roll\"(shrimp and banana tempura with chunks of avocado and a sweet yogurt sauce.. interesting!). Myself being a hater of all things seaworthy, my favorite is the Sweet Potato Tempura roll with soy wrap instead of seaweed. \n\nOverall I definitely recommend this restaurant. If you're new to the area, grab a takeout menu and keep it handy. There are dozens of places with delivery, but this is worth a short drive for the quality and variety that they provide.",
"My husband and I are regulars at Sakana -- particularly for lunch on Saturday or Sunday. We are fortunate enough to live five minutes away from here, so we can enjoy it often. It is just the best and most consistent food of any kind this area has to offer; it's our go-to since we know we'll always get a friendly greeting, nice service and great food. It's obvious from watching others who come in that we are among many diners who frequent Sakana.\n\nI aquired my taste for sushi by nibbling off my husband's plate here; I find that I periodically need a sushi \"fix\" now! The soups served here are the standard by which I measure every other Chinese restaurant's offerings. I love the sushi chef and trust all the sushi offerings here. We always start our lunch with one of the soups (the hot and sour is divine) and move on to sushi rolls. The shrimp tempura and spicy tuna rolls are always a must. For some reason I prefer the dinner portions of Chinese entrees to the lunch ones, but that is my only limited criticism of a fine establishment. We love Sahana and feel that it loves us!",
"Lived in the area for 6 years now, cant believe its taken me this long to try this place. I guess the exterior has always bothered me, plus Im kinda already in love with my current Chinese place. However, a perfect 5-star rating on several reviews and the promise of a few Thai dishes encouraged me to stop in and give it the old college try.\n\nOn the first visit, wife opts for garlic chicken off the chinese menu, and the owner talks me into the Bangkok chicken off the Thai menu. I also dispatch an order of potstickers for good measure. $30 later (this is take out, mind you), Im liking my Bangkok chicken - It was actual chicken breast, in strips, with a delicate, sweet, not at all spicy sauce. I remember savoring the bright citrus and ginger flavors, even though I yearned for more heat. Across the table, wife wasnt feeling her garlic chicken. To be fair, it was served with minced chicken, which she is not accustomed to, but the slightly sour taste I detected was indicative of burnt garlic. Shes tough to please anyway.\n\nI decided a follow up visit was in order, so 2 days later I go back, this time for lunch. I was solo this time, but decided 2 entrees were still necessary (you can always have it later for dinner. Still thinking about that Bangkok chicken, I figured the General Tso's chicken would be similarly fresh and tasty. Of course, I had to balance that out with something not-so-fried, so I decided to add Pad Thai as well. Sadly, this meal would be my last, as they were both terribly dissapointing. The Generals chicken was nothing more than hood-grade globs of fatty grey meat. The pad thai was pink, almost red, in color (curry?) and somewhat creamy. Im not sure what the hell was going on there, but it was certainly not even close to standard. I expect some variation from place to place, but this wasnt even in the same realm.\n\nLet me balance this review by adding a few positives. First, the menu is extensive - there is something for everybody, especially the sushi lover (place seems to be known for sushi). Also different kinds of seafoods featured, sometimes exotic stuff on the menu. They cater as well. The dining room is pretty nice, and the service is great. I would even call it upscale, at least compared to other chinese eateries. However, food here is expensive for what it is (do you really always get what you pay for?). When you've had better, the answer is easy. In the end, it does me no pleasure to burst this 5 star bubble, but rewarding mediocrity is something I refuse to do.",
"Best local asian restaurant. The owner is big on customer service and always is friendly when you come in. The sweet yam rolls are amazing. There is nothing questionable about the meat. It's always identifiable. Great for take out or eating in.",
"Don't let the outside fool you, or the fact it's next to a biker bar. This place is the real deal for asian favorites and awesome sushi. Prices are reasonable and the service is top notch. George, the owner, will know your name after two visits I promise.\n\nI really wish this place was in the city so I could go once a week.",
"This is the best only place I go for Chinese food. They also have Japanese, a Sushi bar and Thai cuisine. Huge selection of dinners meals are large and low priced, they also have very reasonable lunch portions 7 days a week from 11:30-3:00. They take all major credit cards. I have never had bad service here dining in or placing a to go order. Staff is friendly and knowledgable. You can rent out the back room for showers, luncheons or dinners.",
"All I can say is I have Bangkok Chicken on my list of phone contacts bc I was afraid I'd forget the name of it... fabulous. The sushi is wonderful.... try the tempura roll and the Woodbury roll.... my daughter has been around the world and loves sushi, she recommends this place for sushi lovers. We have been going here for 10 years and it remains our favorite restaurant",
"The calamari is a MUST whenever I visit Sakana! I have cravings for it when it has been too long since I last had some. The sushi here is also good, and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Don't let the looks fool you- the building could use some TLC, but this place is worth a visit!"

"McCormick & Schmick's just opened in St Louis (at the West County Mall) one week ago. I know they are trying extra hard because they've just opened, but we've had several great experiences dining here, so far just for lunch. My husband and I are both seafood lovers, and the cedar plank salmon has been amazing each time we've tried it. My husband also tired the blackened salmon Caesar and loved it. \n\nOne special note: They listen to suggestions. After our first visit, we got a follow up call asking how we liked the meal. We commented that the starter salad was very small, and on our next visit the salad was twice the size. BTW, the farmer's market starter salad is yummy, with grilled vegetables on top of greens.\n\nWe've dined at other M&S restaurants and the concept is great, they bring in fresh fish daily and offer daily selections and specials depending on the catch. \n\nFor non-fish eaters, they have a selection of beef and chicken that should satisfy the palate.\n\nM&S, we're glad you're in St Louis!",
"Went shopping at the West Co. Mall last night and after they were closed (about 9ish) we headed over to McCormick's for their 9-10pm HAPPY HOUR! Yes, that's right ....a happy hour right after the mall closes! We sat in this beautiful bar and felt a little under dressed at first, but the staff are very friendly and casual so we were right at ease.\nThey brought out a piece of paper with their specials and we couldn't decide so we just got a few. \nThe Buffalo wings were really good and not too hot. We also liked the sweet potato fries (but not the sauce) and I got a chicken quesadilla that was very yummy! The tomato brie app. was another favorite.\nAll of this w/ 3 drinks was only 22.00!!!\nThe atmosphere is just beautiful and glamorous and it wasn't too crowded. This review is only for the bar but the restaurant part was very nice looking.\nWe will be adding this to our list of places to go after the mall for sure. It's a nice mall too!",
"Came here last night for my birthday dinner - decided to sit at the bar and have a few drinks before dinner. Our bartender Aaron was fabulous - he offered some great drink suggestions and was extremely personable. I was excited that martinis here were only $6.50 - after my sticker shock at some other restaurants, I felt a $6.50 martini was def well worth it (they were delicious!). My favorite for the night was something called a cosmo-mimosa - you can't go wrong with drinks that have FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice (they do it when you order, so you know it's fresh!).\n\nSince we were having so much fun at the bar, we opted to stay at the bar to have dinner as well. Aaron brought us each a surprise (complimentary) shrimp amuse-bouche - it was a lightly breaded shrimp over cous cous. We had a bowl of the roasted corn and seafood chowder - delicious! It has the familiar hint of clam chowder but without all the cream and thickness. For dinner, I had the crab cakes - not the best I've ever had (that would be reserved for Baltimore), but they were pretty good - the most important thing was that they were actually made with crab meat and not filler. On top of that, you get 3 crab cakes instead of the typical serving size of 2. My bf had the halibut and was able to make modifications to the entree sides without problems. The halibut was def fresh and was delicious.\n\nAnd since it was my birthday, I had my choice of dessert for free - a lot of restaurants will have some standard bday dessert, but M&S allows you to choose from their entire tray. Everything looked good, but I opted for the creme brulee (my all-time favorite). The creme part was delicious, but there must've been too much sugar on top bc it was extremely sweet (I managed to eat around it).\n\nI also had a chance to see the Happy Hr specials they offer - the specials are awesome! You can get all kinds of menu items for under $5. Great deal! I will def come back to try that.\n\nAll in all, the food was pretty good, but the service made it excellent. I would def come back again!",
"I know it's a chain and I am disappointed in myself. I had no say in the matter...\n\nWith that said, everything was actually pretty good. Service was awesome and food was prepared well. Even the wine list had good selections. I had the steak and stuffed shrimp. Tried the calamari and crab cakes too. So why such an average rating? I'm just not excited about the place. Sometimes you need things to be consistent and if that is on your agenda, come here.",
"I've enjoyed other McKormick & Schmicks, so I expected the St. Louis location would be good too. How wrong I was. It was awful. \n\nWe visited on a weeknight around 7:30, and it was not too busy. Our waiter was friendly, but it took 3 requests and about 15 minutes for our bread to come out, and it was basically flavorless mushy white bread with airy whipped butter. The salads took another 10 minutes to come out, and the dressings on both were awful. \n\nI had a burger and fries, which were served in a metal basket like we were at Chuck E Cheese. I asked for a plate and had to transfer my greasy burger and fries myself, with my hands. The burger was just OK, not great. Pretty flavorless. I would have put a lot of katsup on but they only gave me like a tablespoon in a little cup. \n\nMy wife had cashew crusted tilapia, which was OK. It was served with white rice that was basically flavorless mush. It might even have been microwaved. \n\nThe only saving grace of the dinner was watching an annoying older waiter attempting to entertain a family of 5 at a round table nearby. We thought it was over the top when he started making jokes to them. When he invited himself to sit down at their table and started playing games with the kids, we were really amused. Good thing he wasn't our server because we would have just walked out.\n\nNothing was good - bread, butter, service, salads, burger, fries, rice. \n\nThat was our last visit to this location.",
"Once again a bad review. Our meal was bad too. Calamari greasy, soup too salty, food over cooked and seasoning overpowering to the dish, even my wife drink was done wrong. The manager comped the meal but that hardly made up for ruining her birthday dinner. We have been to other's in this chain and have never experienced such poor quality.",
"I realize that it's someone's last name, but I always want to call this place McCormick & Schmucks.\n\nAfter paying $80 for a meh meal, I felt like the schmuck.\n\nNothing was bad, but nothing was great, I despise Red Lobster, but think I've had better meals there.\n\nNice patio though.",
"We're definitely coming back.\n\nThis restaurant fits in the \"pricey but worth it\" category. I had the salmon stuffed with crabmeat and shrimp. It was cooked exactly how I asked for it. The sauce complimented the salmon perfectly. \n\nAnd the pumpkin upside down cake for dessert was delicious.\n\nService was attentive, the decor is classy and cheerful, you do not need to dress up to feel comfortable here.",
"I've been to M&S's four times now. This past Tuesday night it was not very crowded and thus much quieter than previous experiences. There were five of us and our bill came to $300 with tip, which puts McCormick & Schmick's at the moderately high end in terms of costs. I believe that the quality of their food is excellent in terms of freshness and taste. Where M&S continues to fall short for me is in the selection and training of their serving staff. In short, when I take my family out for a special dining experience we should be able to focus on one another, without having to deal with a server who is overly chatty or reaching clear across the table to serve food and fill water glasses or not bring a requested item (horseradish). Service definitely needs work at McCormick and Schmicks.",
"I stopped in for a quick bite before work. The location was convenient since I had to stop by West County Mall anyway. \n\nI stayed in the bar since it was happy hour. There are only a handlful of tables in the bar area. I ordered the fish tacos, chicken quesadilla, and mussels. The tacos and queadilla were average. Typical bar fare. The mussels were a treat. Cooked perfectly and tasty. \n\nAll in all, I was satisfied and would go back if I was in the area."

"Great new addition to the Trinity area. The wife and I went here for dinner last week, and enjoyed the food. I had meat deluxe pizza, my wife order a single slice of Steak & Cheese, and Hawaiian Luau. Her only complaint was that the mushrooms on the steak & cheese pizza were uncooked. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere inside and is good for the whole family.We plan on returning soon.",
"Edit 2: had my first REAL Bronx Bomber from Johnny Brusco's and it was amazing! The customer service is outstanding, the text below is testament to that!\n\nEdit 1: \nThe Manager sent me a message \"I want to take the time to apologize for your experience at Johnny Brusco's in Trinity. As the bar manager, we haven't received many complaints and when we do, we definitely want to address them. After calling our other restaurant owners in Georgia, we did realize the discrepancy in our recipes as we always serve ours with pasta and they do not. We have discussed the issue and have changed our recipe to match the Georgia locations. We'd really love to have you come back in to try it again as we know we can make it exactly as you remember. We hope all is well and that we can continuously better ourselves and our recipes to better suit you and all of our customers. Again, we sincerely apologize and hope we can better serve you in the future. Thank you!\"\n\n\nOriginal review:\n I love Johnny's Pizza and expected this to be the same. I spoke to the lady at the take out counter and verified it was the same company but some restaurants added \"Brusco\" to the name. My favorite dish from Johnny's Pizza was the Bronx Bomber. An amazing bowl of marinara, cheese, sausage, meatballs, onions and peppers. I ordered it from Johnny Brusco's expecting the same thing. When I got home from the hour long trip, I discovered they had changed the recipe. What they considered a Bronx bomber was just a sad spaghetti concoction. Two meatballs, a sausage link, a little cheese and not enough sauce to cover all the noodles they threw in there. I looked online to see if they had changed the recipe from the main menu but it remains in pristine condition as I remembered it. I called Johnny Brusco's to verify and they do, in fact, \"have pasta on all their Italian dinners\". Their words. Just be warned that you won't be getting Johnny's Pizza quality from Johnny Brusco's.",
"Tried order out and dine in, and both times had a large pepperoni pizza with extra dough, and loved it. They cook using a pizza oven, and it had a nice crisp crust. I imagine that if you like thin and crispy, they should be able to nail it.",
"I had the pizza lunch special and it was very good 1 slice with crumbled Italian sausage and one slice with spinach. The wait staff were very friendly seated us right away and food came out about 5 minutes after we ordered. My wife got the calzone lunch special and she enjoyed that as well.",
"Ordered meatball parm to go. Very nice place. Food not so much. Sauce tasted old and burnt. Cooked by what looked to be teenagers and served by teenagers. Would have been nice to see the owner cooking and taking pride in what he was serving. Will not be back",
"Pluses: service, draft selection, specials\n\nMinuses : food, prices, atmosphere \n\nWe sat at the bartenderless bar and had some drinks and food. Girl that took care of us though was still great and was on top of everything. Id give that 5 stars....... however the food and atmosphere was mediocre at best. This is no fault of the staff or management but just what you should expect from a chain type of place. Pizza was comparable to a pappa johns or Dominos and appetizers were your general pre made frozen items that most of these places serve. They're definitely way over priced on their pizzas and additional toppings especially. Considering their location they're definitely going to need to advertise more and improve on their price point if they expect to make it.",
"I was craving wings. Like SERIOUSLY craving wings and nothing was working so we stopped into this plaza and noticed a new pizza shop. Pizza goes naturally with wings, and I was right. \n\nThe former Crisper's location wasn't busy, but the service was pretty awesome. Our waitress took our order - we ordered their special 20 wings and a large pie for $32, and we got some fried mushrooms. The Mushrooms came out 10 of them for about $8.00 a bit pricy, but they were tasty fried morsels of yumminess. \n\nThe wings came out and though we ordered Medium - they were pretty heated. The husbeast at 8 and I ate 4, The pizza, they left it in a little long, I'm ok with that, i like my crust crispy, but the Owner was very apologetic, He offered to throw a new pie in for us. He didn't need to. \n\nThey are over priced for their location. Crispers didn't make it and if they want to, they're going to have to come down a bit to match.",
"This was the first time to visit here and we will be back. We got seated very quickly and our server was there in a flash to get our drink order. We ordered the Fried Mushroom appetizer which was very good. They were hot, crunchy and the horseradish dipping sauce was excellent. For our main meal we ordered the Johnny Special pizza. A great combination of mushrooms, onions, green peppers and sausage. The combo was delicious. My only complaint and the reason for not giving 5 stars was the crust was very sooty. When I looked down at my plate it was covered in black soot as were my hands. I think they just need to brush out the oven a little more often. But it was a great meal and we will be back!",
"Being from Chicago we are very picky about pizza we were pleasantly surprised on this pizza being Excellent. Ingredients were fresh, crust was crispy on the edge and soft not chewy/gummy. We were sat quickly, waitress was awesome. Well be coming back.",
"Dianna B. said four stars, so I tumbled in for lunch. The lunch specials allowed me to order pizza and wings without getting too crazy. They have a cute lil bar with Fat Tire, and Stella Cidre on tap. They promise great game day specials on brew and grubb. They offer growlers, and have plenty of TV's. Still pretty new, they weren't slammed or anything, but attentive and informative. They have the Five Star rewards here, so if you know about that, it's one rewards card that works at several dining establishments. (whew, finally!) The ingredients are fresh. So fresh in fact, that they were still a bit cold after being in that oven for a couple lunch slices, which is okay with me. The pizza, baked screen less kept some of it's \"baking bubbles\". The best and worst part about this place is that it's a chain in Trinity. Which means there's nothing quite like it around, but will also prove too pricey for Pasco Countylites. Good luck guys! I'll be back!"

"I don't care if this a chain...I LOVE IT! They give huge samples of their bread and ALL of them are delicious. I mean, literally everything I've tried has made me want to learn how to bake fresh bread at home...or at least kidnap their baker for my carbolicious pleasure!\n\nThe one thing I actually CRAVE all year (because they only make it around the holidays) is the PUMPKIN ROLL. I don't care that I have to travel to the middle of nowhere, as long as I can have some pumpkin roll!",
"Great Harvest is amazing. Talk about incredible bread, food, and customer service. Everytime you walk in you are always offered a slice of bread with complimentary butter and honey. They make fresh loaves daily and rotate through various delicious flavors. Check out the 50% off shelf-great deals there. One time they just gave us a loaf of bread and some broken cookies for free... Yum! Their sandwiches and baked goods are also fantastic. Also have a variety of peanut butters, honeys, and jams for sale. This bakery supports local businesses.",
"Will is the man, great bread, great sand whiches. Highly recommend checking it out.",
"Love Great Harvest! We love their sandwiches, the bread and all the yummy goodies you can get there. The brownies are amazing, the scones are to die for. The best thing about this GH though is the customer service. You get a free slice of fresh bread when you come in. The staff are so friendly and helpful to each person in line and definitely go above and beyond. Can't say enough good things about Great Harvest!",
"Took my mom for lunch here today. It was the first time eating there for both of us and it was a terrific experience! We were greeted by the owner Will who took the time to explain about their different breads and sandwiches. He offered us a complimentary slice of hot fresh bread while we waited for our sandwiches to be made. We ordered turkey avocado sandwich combos that came with a full sandwich, chips a drink and a HUGE cinnamon roll.Everything tasted amazing! We used groupons we had purchased so it made it ridiculously affordable. The dining room was bright and spacious and smelled like hot fresh bread. I was impressed with everything- food, service, prices and atmosphere! Defiantly going back soon!",
"BEST Place by Far for anything related with BREAD! If you think Bread = Boring - Think again! They have a wide selection and make anything you eat a real treat! Even bread with peanut butter in amazing in this place! Sandwiches are super awesome and soup is good too. I specially enjoy how they let you sample any of the breads they have made at the time. Highly recommended!",
"A great place to go if all you want is a sample of bread and to buy either a cookie or a loaf of bread. \n\nAs far as the sandwiches go, there are much better options. All the cheese is processed cheese (I asked, they said it wasn't, I got sick 20 minutes later because it was). And their sandwiches are uninventive and quite boring.\n\nOn the other hand, getting a huge slice of bread to slather butter on is yummy!",
"The pastrami sandwich is an art that seems so simple, yet perfection is so difficult to attain. Great Harvest Bread Co. does it on the spot. I have been in Idaho for 7 years now, almost 8, and this place served me the best pastrami sandwich I have ever enjoyed in Idaho. Possibly my whole life. I definitely recommend this place to everyone who likes to enjoy a great sandwich. They are a bakery so their bread is phenomenal. All in all, this place is the greatest! I am definitely coming back for my next sandwich.",
"I cannot believe the previous review I read about the rueben sandwich. I just ate the damn thing and couldn't be more disappointed. There was literally ONE SLICE of pastrami. ONE EFFIN SLICE. Anyone who has ever eaten a rueben knows quite a bit better than this. I can't describe the anger over spending seven fifty on a \"rye\" bread sandwich comprised of onion and sauer kraut. While we're at it, I could use more sauer kraut, BUT ONLY IF THERE'S SOME PASTRAMI ON THERE.\n\nThis experience flat out sucked. I am angry or hangry and I'm going to have a beer now. My wife really enjoys their hummus veggie, oddly enough, without the hummus. She can give them five stars when she gets a yelp account. For now, I'll never eat here again. I mean, what's the point of a sandwich like the one I described...\n\nI should add that my wife's cheaper veggie sandwich was almost twice the size of my more expensive rueben. That was a pisser.",
"The food here is delicious. I like watching them make it in front of me. I like their many varieties of bread to choose from. And their cookies are fantastic. They are a little spendy for the amount of food you get."

"It was my first time there! :) Amazing food, and even better customer service... I was very impressed. I will for sure be back! I highly recommend this place.",
"While not my number one choice this is a great sub... Definitely not lower than my number 2 sub place. Bread is crusty but not hard. Veggies are very fresh. I ordered online and I arrived just as they finished up my order. The manager was very friendly and ensured my order was correct. Store was very clean. We wanted to stop on Saturday but the parking lot was full and we couldn't even get into the lot. We definately will put this on our routine for subs.",
"However good the service was and it was ok. It wasnt great they made my cheesesteak- peppers grilled onions extra cheese! upon receiving the smaller version of the sandwich, I ate more than half way through before I received the 1st and only bite of one sweet pepper. knowing that should have been laced with them that was disappointing when I complained they said oops sorry!!! I had already eaten the sandwich, it was still good, it just should not be named cheesesteak!!!sorry",
"Okay, so growing up in Tucson means that we don't really have a mast variety of sub places. Growing up the only places I ate at were Eegee's (which beats everyone still) and good ol' Subway. Jersey Mike's is the type of place that \"we know about but isn't our first pick on the list\" which is just like Jimmy Johns (which I barely had for the first time this year as well, I know). This place is just.. eh? When I went my first time, the place was moderately busy and for me the whole sandwich making process is confusing. My second visit really got under my skin. The only communication I received was \"What will you be having today?\" \"Are you having it Mike's Way?\" That is it. Of course I said yes to Mike's way but I had some moderations but the girl making the sandwich was too busy talking to her coworker waiting in line to get a sandwich. Only reason I couldn't speak up was I had no idea what my sandwich looked like (reminder this is only my second time here so I'm fairly new). I didn't want to say \"NO TOMATOES PLEASE\" on a sandwich that wasn't mine. Of course, I had to go through the terrible process of seeing this employee put tomatoes and that red wine vinegar on my sandwich. I would've liked some mayo but she never blinked an eye to me. Alright, here's the part of getting my sandwich. The only people that tried to talked to me were the older employees hence maybe because they were taught good manners (I'm only a young adult but working in customer service you at least have to say how are you). The cashier never asked if I wanted to eat at the restaurant or to take it home. So then I had to be the annoying customer and ask for a bag. I must admit that the sandwiches are not bad at all. It's the customer service that comes with it. Most of the employees seemed like it was their first day. I understand asking if I want it Mike's Way but the person who is putting the toppings on my sandwich should at least ask if I wanted anything extra. Nothing too special, but it isn't terrible either. Just went because we had some coupons (which everyone there had as well). Maybe they just weren't used to so much customer flow since in Tucson, where do you hear about Jersey Mike's? It's an OK stop.",
"Move over Jimmy Johns! This place is pretty good!\nYums: I had a club supreme and my boyfriend got a Chipotle Cheese steak and were they both pretty tasty. There was plenty of meat and fixins on the subs and I love the to-go packaging! Staff is super friendly and the store was very clean.\nHmmm: I wish there was a different system for the hot subs. It is yummy and worth the small wait but it seems weird to get your cold sandwiches and then have to wait for the hot (they should come out together). Also I think that the hot subs should be asked if they want lettuce or something else on it because my boyfriend wanted to add mustard and lettuce and that didnt seem to be an option unless we pre-asked but we didnt know that we should do that.\n\nOverall I will be going back but I think I might try calling ahead next time so I dont have to wait :)",
"Wonderful place for lunch. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is excellent and they have many repeat customers even though they have not been open long. As a former New Yorker I finally found a real sub in Tucson. Thank you",
"Subs were tasty but as others have mentioned that the wait for a hot sub is ridiculously long compared to a cold sub. I ordered one of each and seems like the workers on the hot sub line were not even working w/ nearly the same level of urgency. Mall store hot sub places may take 5 min, here though be prepared to wait 20 min if you go that route",
"This place is way overpriced for the amount of meat they put on the sandwich. I paid like $15 for a big cheesesteak and was just shaking my head in disgust while I swallowed it down (have to finish it).\n\nI ordered this sandwich that has chicken instead of beef, my bad. The ingredients of the sandwich were flavorful with two major exceptions: \n\nThe meat\nThe bread\n\nThe bread is crucial to a solid sammich. They just miss the mark here, it is bland and was a little but flaky vs. soft. The other ingredients like he cheese, peppers, onions, and jalapenos were nice touches to what amounted to eating a 15 inch shoe.\n\nThis place is better than Subway in taste however for the price I want more.",
"Great place to get a sub. Prices are a bit high, but so is every other sub place, so don't let price steer you away. Pretty good selection in sandwich choices.",
"Subway? Who's Subway? Jersey Mike's is a very welcome alternative to Subway! I go there after my workout, and have a \"Sub in a Tub\", which is any sandwich ingredients that can be put into a tub instead of two pieces of bread to give it that low - carb flair. I like that very much! The Buffalo Chicken is exquisite, and for a little spice, try adding some hot red pepper relish to your entrée. It gives it a kick! The people are friendly and seem to be having a good time with themselves. Very professional and courteous. This place has a lot of positive energy and great tasting subs, with generous proportions of meat! (IMHO) If you're in the mood for subs, try this place!"

"Soup and salads are the main draw here, and they do both exceedingly well. In addition to a wide array of salad fixings for do-it-yourselfers, the restaurant offers ready-made Caesar and Oriental Chicken salads as standards and a few specialty salads that change every ten days or so. These tend to lean towards the \"exotic\" - greens with pears, walnuts, and gorgonzola or a spicy Southwestern pasta salad, for example - and are never disappointing. The restaurant's strong point is definitely its soups, always made strictly from fresh ingredients, perfectly spiced, and overloaded with vegetables and whatever other ingredients it contains. Here, too, the specialties rotate - a recent Mexican meatball soup was one of the best I've ever had. The chicken soup - a staple - is filled with huge chunks of breast meat and thick homemade noodles. Chili is thick and spicy. There are always three pasta selections, but these tend to be less successful, usually dry and overcooked. Foccacio and pizza (too often underbaked or overdone), a variety of muffins, and baked potatoes with all the extras are also available. Fresh fruit, pudding, and soft serve yogurt for make-your-own sundaes comprise the desserts. The addition of a fruit cobbler doesn't warrant the higher price charged after 4:00pm, since all other menu items remain the same. A major problem with this location is its layout. New diners leaving the register enter directly into the area where people are picking up their soup, pasta, breads, and yogurt, and the result at peak dining times is a traffic jam, if not actual collisions involving food-laden trays, and tables are too close to each other. Best time to visit is between 2 and 4:00pm to avoid the crowds and increased noise level.",
"Everything is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good (CYE) here and you can't beat a buffet that is this clean and not filled with 500 lb people on scooters. The prices aren't bad and even better if you have a coupon, of which they send out many in my area.",
"While it is a buffet, this is one of the healthier eating establishments. Plenty of fixings for a make-your-own salad, but the soups, pastas and baked goods were the main draw to me. While the alfredo pasta and mac and cheese were tasty, the blueberry muffins won me over. They were the BEST I've ever had.",
"All the salad ingredients are very fresh, but the main reason we come here are for the soups. They usually have six different choices and they're always terrific. The Sunday brunch features an outstanding pasta with eggs, spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese, a delicious spinach frittata, and excellent bruschetta, but the waffles and French toast aren't cooked to order and get cold and stale very quickly after they're put on the counter, and the potatoes O'Brien were practically raw. This really isn't an ideal spot for breakfast, and the warm dessert you get at dinner doesn't warrant the higher price, so keep this on your list for lunch options only. Check out the Sunday paper for discount coupons.",
"Buffets rank low on my list overall, so note that I am giving this 3 stars as this is an A-OK buffet as far as they go. Despite the fact the food is probably cooked institutional style for the masses, things still look fresh and enjoyable. Much cleaner and brighter than your average buffet place. The salad bar is amazing, and there are no excuses to not have an awesome salad because you build it yourself. The soups are mostly amazing. The bread and muffins usually never disappoint. Everything from the bran muffics to the cornbread to the garlic cheese bread is very tasty. I'm usually not a fan of the pasta section, but that's ok because my 5 pound salad and bowls of soup fill me up. And, best of all, you get to top off the meal with ice cream and jello. The drinks are good too, as they almost always have a cool flavor of lemonade or tea. The price is reasonable for the quantity of food you can consume, especially if you join their list and get the coupons. Just beware that even though this place has a healthy vibe, you actually can be unhealthy here depending on what you select and how much you have.",
"I never say no to going to Sweet Tomatoes! The salad bar is great- pretty much any veggie/salad topping that you'd want and they have a bunch of pre-made salads (Caesar, pasta, potato) that are usually good too. They have a bunch of rotating items that go with their theme for the month- on the salad bar, as well as the other areas, so I go fo these if I'm in the mood to try something new. The soups are always great, the mac and cheese is good and they always have good breads/muffins. I LOVE when they have cobbler for dessert- that with a little vanilla softserve of top is amazing! The only downside is that while you THINK you're going to be eating light and healthy- it's salad, right, there are a lot of unhealthy, filling things (in mass amounts) to tempt you, so watch out!",
"Lots of choices for salad, soups and even a few choices of pizza. Only complaint here is the so called italian dressing. This was by far the worst italian dressing ever. It was sweet. What italian dressing is sweet? This is what ruined this place for me. If you like the other dressings than it's a great salad place. If you are a fan of house or tangy italian like I am, then don't eat here.",
"Everything was fresh and crisp. Loved the Chipotle Tomato Bisque, the focaccia was excellent, Joined their email club before going and instantly received an email with BOGO 1/2 price. Took the advice of previous reviewers and went between 2 and 4 and it was not to crowded or loud. We will be going back.",
"My parents have brought me here probably a dozen times over many years, as they absolutely love this place. Normally on my own, there's only a single buffet in the Clearwater I'll ever eat at (Oriental Super Buffet at 2456 Gulf to Bay), and I'd usually rather shoot myself than do the buffet thing. But hey, they're your parents and you love 'em, right? So you suck it up, and take one for the team.\n\nThat said, Sweet Tomatoes does what they do very well, serving up a very nice selection of salads, soups, pasta, bakery items, and stuffed potatoes that often changes daily. Even more, every few weeks they seem to feature a rotation through a theme of dishes from different countries that repeats every few months\n\nI usually stick to a couple of bowls of soup and a small salad, and I've found a few soups that were very, very good. I don't eat any sweet things, so my choices at the bakery are usually limited to some focaccia breads which are usually mediocre, in my opinion.. As someone else hinted at, on my first few visits I found it waaaaay to easy to overeat here even with the few soups/salads I like, even once puttin' a hurt in my belly that I'd like to forget. Lesson learned, I've limited my portions accordingly.\n\nThe dining room is nice and usually kept very clean for a buffet. Since everything is self-service (except for the limited wait staff that clears tables), it's tough to give them much of a score on that account. But the value is very high, and be sure to do the email sign up on their website to get discount coupons every week, along with regular updates on their menus changes.\n\nAtmosphere: 4\nService: 2\nFood: 3\nValue: 4\n\nI'm sure my parents would give them 5's all around.\n;-)",
"I like this place, because the food is tasty and they have a nice variety of soups and a good salad bar. And there's always coupons in the paper.\n\nAll-you-can-eat: nice salad bar, flatbread-type pizza, six kinds of soup, baked potatoes, a couple kinds of pasta, frozen yogurt. Right now they're experimenting with pay-a-little-more-get-cold-chicken, but I don't think that's gonna be popular. Also pay a little more for free-refills beverage (water is free, they give you a blue glass instead).\n\nI'm torn about this place selling itself as healthy. I mean yes, the food is all pretty healthy, but without some kind of portion size control... so that's why it's full of fat people. Because they think eating a ton of relatively healthy food will magically make them thinner, or something."

"It's really at a 2.5 stars for me, but I figure I'll be nice since part of the problem was my decision to order sharp provolone cheese.\n\nWas super excited to see this location, which is right around the corner from my parents. Been wanting to try Tony Luke's for a while and here was my chance! The store was clean, there were tables, and the waiting area was a bit cramped - this place definitely had a \"fast food\" feel, since you get a ticket and have to wait around for your order to be called. Also, the tables are not regularly cleaned, so you either have to find a table that ONLY has crumbs, or clean it yourself.\n\nThe cheesesteak itself had a great texture, but the meat was sadly quite bland. The fried onions didn't add anything - not flavor, not texture... very strange. The bread was good - not amazing, but definitely the right kind (and only available in the Philly area).\n\nI ordered a large (9 inches - $8). Definitely get American cheese. I was feeling adventurous and thought - \"let me try the sharp provolone... yeah.. bad idea. Why don't I ever learn to stick with what I know works? Then again, I am not sure who would ever order the sharp provolone... maybe they should take it off the menu?\" [End stream of consciousness]. I went back up and ordered another cheesesteak w/ American cheese, which melted correctly, (the provolone cooled very quickly, which meant you got the chewy cheese w/ every bite). I let them know that the cheesesteak w/ the sharp provolone did NOT taste good - they didn't really care. I also asked if they would be so kind as to add more salt to the meat this time, bc the prior cheesesteak was kind of bland. They said they would make a note of it... no noticeable difference, the second cheesesteak was still bland. \n\nThe cheese fries were not plentiful (not like Five Guys) but they did not skimp on the Cheese Whiz! Sadly, the fries were also not crunchy/crispy (even the ones that were not in touch w/ the cheese).\n\nLastly, they had a problem w/ the ordering system while I was there, and it took at least 30 minutes to get our food. They knew about the problem when I ordered (bc I heard some of the employees in the back asking if \"it worked yet.\" But the cashier didn't mention at all that there might be a delay... \n\nOverall, I wish that I knew how to make the meat in my cheesesteaks get that great texture, but as for the flavor of the meat itself, I prefer the ones I make at home. Might go again (when the cheesesteak craving hits) just in case this particular visit was a bit of a fluke, but it's not exactly cheap either.",
"Obviously not the same experience as the orig Oregon Ave location, but a welcomed addition to South Jersey. Much better than the last NJ location they tried in Deptford @ Rastelli's (closed). Saves $5 in tolls and definately better than the NJ Di'Nics. I've found that the sandwiches are not quite like the ones they make across the bridge, although they are still acceptable. I do like that this location offers the half sandwich options (juniors) - now you can get 2 sandwiches when you go, like me. They also offer little panzarottis here, although Ive not tried them yet. Sidenote: The provolone here is strong - even the mild tastes sharp to me. Some people are into that, but as for the rest of you - consider yourself warned. Also, this location accepts credit cards.",
"Not thrilled about this particular location, there weren't any chopped cherry peppers ( a must for cheesesteaks). Not a fan of their bread either, prefer the Amoroso type rolls. Prices for the cheesesteak are a bit high as well. Meat wasn't very flavorful and a tad bit greasy to boot. Had the cheese whiz. Wanted to also try their famous pork with broccoli rabe, but they were even more pricey. There also weren't that much of a crowd when I went (5 pm). I'll think I'll wait to try John's Roast Pork if I ever get a chance to get to that hard to find eatery.",
"Went here today for cheesesteaks...They were small and literally had one slice of meat. The cheesesteaks felt like appetizers as opposed to a filling meal. They did taste good. I say if you want one, go over the bridge.",
"Slippery When Wet!\n\nMy experience at Tony Luke's is not based on the food, the Roast Pork was fine and filling. They accepted my order over the telephone prior to there opening time, but insisted not to arrive before 11am. 11:05 would be better. I thought this was strange , but after seeing their hours posted on the door I understand. I am no genius, but Sunday is game day and an 11 o'clock start doesn't make sense, especially with all us Philly Sports fans. The service was quick, the cost was average and the place was clean. A little too clean. After I picked up my order I slipped and fell on my ass and realized the floor was wet. The counter girl and manager (I think) just stood there and if it wasn't for another customer, I probally would still be on the floor. The manager did ask me if I was ok. No appology, no sorry sir and no warning.",
"This was my first time eating at any Tony Luke's. I am surprised by the negative reviews listed below. I had a good experience today.\n\nOrdering - waited in line for 1 minute. Food came within 5 mins (4 sandwiches ordered to go). The ordering system is laid-back vs. the Philly location - where you need to be prepared to ordered and order \"appropriately.\"\n\nThe restaurant was very clean, reminded me of Five Guys. Plenty of seating available, and parking was not an issue.\n\nI ordered a traditional cheesesteak with onions, mushrooms, and cheese whiz. The bread was very fresh & soft. The steak is NOT chopped up, but rather layered in the bun. (I'm a fan of having the meat chopped.) The steak had great flavor. There were times when I order a cheesesteak out, and the meat isn't salted enough, bland tasting. Not this sandwich, it was very good.\n\nPlenty of onions and mushrooms - sauteed very well.\n\nCheese whiz - great - can't really butcher this up too much......or can you!?\n\nThis location does deliver - according to their big sign in the front.\n\nI would definitely come back here and order again, however, I will also try the other locations as well. The pork sandwich was good too.\n\nEnjoy!",
"Wasn't that great, bread was stale for the dinner time crowd. My cheese steak was bland, unseasoned and tasteless. My Wife liked hers but I thought they could use fresh rolls in the afternoon, not the ones from the morning.",
"What happened to Philly's Best? Sometimes you just have cravings and today mine was a delicious cheesesteak. I went to Tony Luke's in Sicklerville. The outcome: my craving was NOT satisfied to say the least. I found it bland, onions just plopped on top, skimpy serving of meat in proportion to the bread and the meat was thick slabs of flavorless folded slices! What happened the the expected chopped beef and onions all mixed with mouth watering Flavors? I say if you can't get to Philly and go to Pat's, Genos, or Jim's, check out and support your local Pizza place they are still doing it right and 10 times better then TL's.",
"My question is....where's the beef? Or chicken in this case. I ordered a chicken cheese steak and there was hardly any chicken on it. They give you this big roll with some cheese and hardly any meat. What a rip! To make things worse it's kind of pricey to begin with. I won't be going back.",
"Semi-Ok. Meat bland, no flavor, semi hard bread... Not impressed. \n\nThe store was clean and staff friendly, but I didn't come here for that. \n\nMaybe this is the norm for Philly, but after visiting 5 places in Philly, they all are equally bland in meat flavor and bread."

"This was a pretty good bar and grill as those go. The bison burger was tasty, and the Turkey Club was great. I wouldn't say the food was fabulous, but I would definitely go back if I wanted that atmosphere. \n\nIt wasn't smoky at all which is very appealing to me, and they had 3 or 4 TV's playing sports which was appealing to all the males in our party.",
"Like Kelly R. said, this place wasn't tooo smoky like other bars. I wish they had more variety in terms of desserts. The menu looked really good. The chips & salsa were so-so. Live music on a Saturday night wasn't too bad.",
"Good bar, food is edible, but great atmosphere. If your a local you will run into someone, I bumped into 2 old teachers (Hammered), everyone trying to have a good time. Surprised by how good the live music was. Alcohol not cheap, but not bad.",
"A rude older blonde bartender who ignored us for a while we stood at the mostly empty bar.Guess she prefers to chat with her regulars. Fail.",
"I heard about Satchmo's from George Mahe, the food editor of St. Louis Magazine, during one of his regular visits on the Dave Glover Show. \n\nBasically, the owner of Satchmo's is a foodie and is striving to have the best bar food in St. Louis. He's offering an absolutely outstanding 6 oz. and 10 oz. Filet Mignon on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The Filet is nicely presented on top of smashed potatoes, with a vegetable. Also included is a great chopped salad. Since hearing about this, I've dined there three times. On each occasion, the Filet was perfect. \n\nThis is not fine dining but a bar. If you want a great Filet Mignon and an incredible price, try it.",
"Went here the other night with the family and got what I have always trusted and relied on: The bison burger. Unbelievably juicy and delicious and smothered with cheese and other toppings. \n\nAlso cannot go wrong with their appetizers...the nachos are HUGE, the toasted ravioili is delicious, the wings are spicy and plump, and the chili is out of this world good!\n\nI also ended up trying their version of a \"Slinger,\" which as many St. Louisans know, is the ultimate cure to a hangover. It was incredible. \n\nSatchmos recently revamped their menu to include other higher-end items (but still incredibly affordable), including pig tacos, pork tenderloin, steaks, and other entrees you could find at fine dining restaurants. The quality is not lacking, either!!",
"Met a friend for dinner a couple weeks back. I ordered the personal sized StL style pizza (just cheese) and had a Long Island. \n\nThe drink was okay. Overpriced and under-alcoholed, really, as most places tend to do with these drinks. \n\nThe pizza, though, was DELICIOUS. I am so happy we are getting more pizza places in the area that serve StL pizza that blows Imo's out of the water in flavor. Imo's sucks. \n\nThe service was fine and the atmosphere was good except, on the night we went, there was evidently going to be some live music and the guy was setting up for the show for the entire time we were there. So there was a lot of microphone feedback and many seemingly unsuccessful attempts at tuning the guitar. It was a little unsettling. \n\nThe only semi-complaint I have is that they don't serve dessert of any kind. None. That seems a little strange. But one can always travel a little down olive and stop in Silky's for some good custard. Even if it sounds like it's named after a pimp. \n\nAt any rate, I will be back for more of that stupid-good pizza.",
"Good food, friendly bartenders, it took Rob all but one visit to learn my name (impressive). I bring my friends here when we're looking for a quiet (well... At least quieter than most) bar to have a few drinks or grab some food. I definitely recommend this place for an easy night out with some friends.",
"Always enjoy myself when I come up here! Food is always good! Nothing bad on the menu! Their steaks are incredible! Maddie is one of the best servers! And Rob is the best bartender ever! Hands down!",
"Place was decent and I will be returning. They have Guinness on tap which is mega points with me. I had the pulled pork with onion rings and potato skins for an appetizer. Girlfriend had the hot wings. I felt like I could've bought a package of tgi Fridays frozen skins and they could've passed as the appetizer. Same with the wings but the buffalo sauce was good. Service was kinda slow, I think our waiter was a bartender filling in but that is just an assumption. It was kinda loud with some obnoxious guy in there who had been drinking since 8 at Mardi Gras but that is nothing against them really. (He also drove home =\\)."

"Are you serious? You're doing review on Denny's? Umm, yeah, so what? Yes, this conversation was imaginary, but I'm certain there are food critics in the world who would question my motives. Is it so that I can get my first \"First\" on Yelp? Maybe... Is it because I love breakfast foods and could eat them all day every day at any time? FO SHO! \n\nDenny's is Denny's, wherever you go, right? Wrong! This particular Denny's has had great service whenever I've been there, and I go quite often. The waitresses there know me by now and have a colander of Diet Coke ready for me when I sit down. Yes, it's true, I love Diet Coke... a LOT... Any friend of mine that's dined out with me would be able to attest to this. \n\nThere is a brand new value menu at Denny's, which I was excited to try out. They offer endless pancakes for just $4 and biscuits and gravy for like $2! There's even a pretty tasty omelette for just $6! If you're a breakfast food lover, you have to go in and try some of these super value deals. \n\nThey say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and at Denny's you can have it 24/7. Mmm, mmm, mmm.",
"You want to know something? I'm not exactly sure when I became so obsessed with bread pudding. I wish I could pinpoint the exact moment when I shifted from a casual fan to a hard-core enthusiast. But I honestly can't remember when that happened.\n\nAll I know is that I'm in love with the stuff. And if a restaurant has it on their menu, I will make every effort to visit. \n\nSo when Sarah S. told me about a place that offered Bread Pudding French Toast, I knew I had to go. And SOON. \n\nThe only caveat? This place was Denny's. Em-effing DENNY'S. \n\n*sigh*\n\nI tried to quiet my inner food snob. I strongly considered not going. Was it REALLY worth it? \n\nY'all know I'm just kidding, right? This is the same girl that ate the Double Down at KFC. Of COURSE I'm going to Denny's! \n\nAnd...Fat & Nasty Night was born. Me and 7 other fabulous Yelpers crashed Denny's and chowed down. \n\nI guess this is the part where I should, you know, REVIEW the food instead of boring you all with my obsessive bread pudding shenanigans. \n\nI started with a sugar cookie shake. Oh, Denny's. I wonder how many calories and grams of fat were in this AMAZING shake? It was great. \n\nI also sampled the Red Velvet Pancake Puppies that Joselyn ordered. They were served with a cream cheese icing for dipping. Yum. \n\nOkay, on to the main event: Bread Pudding French Toast. Are you tired of reading yet? Because I'm tired of typing. I should really learn how to stop being so long-winded. Geez. \n\nI wasn't a fan. The idea was great, and I'd like to see another place successfully execute the idea, but yeah. We're talking about Denny's here. It just fell flat. The french toast was kind of on the hard side, and the drizzle of icing (or whatever that was) didn't do much to add to the flavor. Oh well. \n\nOn the bright side, the turkey bacon I ordered was delicious! Oh, and I had an order of pumpkin pancakes, as well. Fat & Nasty Night, remember? We do it big. The pancakes weren't good, either, for the record. \n\nIn summary? 5 stars for Fat & Nasty Night, 5 stars for awesome yelpers, 5 stars for our kickass waiter (seriously, he rocked), and 2 stars for the food. \n\nYou can't win em all, right?",
"Not a big Denny's fan, but not much else around this location. Service was good, restaurant seemed clean, and the food was very good. I'd go back here.",
"Can't beat the customer service especially when you get to know the night staff pretty well. They have been working at this location for a while. Take care of them and they will make your Denny's experience worth it no matter what time of the night.\n\ndp",
"I love love love this Denny's. Not just any Denny's, THIS Denny's. I go here to study at night during the school year (because I CANNOT study at home with 2 lil kids) and usually stay for 2-3 hours. Generally I just drink coffee, but every few times I get either some dinner or just a snack. I always sit in the waitress Heena's section because she is the absolute best server I have ever ever had in any restaurant anywhere. She is so kind to let me study and do homework for hours and never gives me an attitude for taking her table up for so long (granted, I only come in when it's slow, I'd never do that to any waitress when it was busy). The food is good, nothing fantastic, nothing bad. I usually just get a side of chicken breast with swiss cheese and a side of broccoli. Always yummy. Or sometimes the seasoned fries. Yummmm. Coffee is always good. But really, it's the service that gets 5 stars. If you go, ask if Heena is there. You will never be disappointed.",
"This is a great Denny's. Food and service is very good. Our server was Ruby and you can tell she enjoyed her job which is a rare find these days.",
"It's a Denny's. You know what you are getting into before you walk in.\n\nThis Denny's is almost always clean and the staff are great. There used to be a few seedy people working here, but I have not seen them in a while and that makes me happy.\n\nLove me some Moons Over My Hammy!!!",
"It takes over 30 minutes to make 4 chicken strips - small chicken strips. Probably acceptable if they the Mac n cheese was fresh pasta or they were out back killing the chicken. If I would have taken the time to drive to CB, I would have been finished before my food at CB before my meal arrives at Denny's. It wasn't even off-the-stove/oven/fryer hot. \n\nI also don't think the owner or mgr cares about the service you receive anyway when he knows there is only one cook.",
"Just had breatfast there with my sister. Service was terrible. Don't know if he was new or not but service was bad. When we finally got our food it was warm. The help needs to learn if your coming around with the coffee to bring both pots. I had to ask for every cup I wanted while I'm waiting for my food which took over a half hour after putting in our order. There is another Denny's in the area so maybe I should try them.\n Maybe better mangement who cares would be better. \n\nMy daughter had the same experience at the same restruant not too long ago her and a friend. Even after talking to the manager the service has not improved. What's Wrong.?????? Why hasn't it been corrected????\n\njs",
"Awesome place... Good things are: open 24 hrs, good range of options, neat and clean with good service... And finally fits to your pockets..."

"Before posting my review, I feel the need to point out that I do have a few friends who work there currently or have worked there in the past; BUT... I will give an unbiased opinion of this location.\n\nFOOD?\nAmple Menu with lots of choices to pick from. They also have Seasonal/Monthly specials as well. From Steak to Shrimp, they have it.\n\nQUALITY? \nMost of the time, I have a wonderful meal here. Rarely the food does come out a bit cold or wrong, but the wait-staff ALWAYS make it a point to correct the problem instantly.\n\nTASTE? \nMOST of the Steaks that Outback serves are absolutely delicious with almost NO to minimal Fat or Gristle on them. \n\nA truly great steak should have NO fat or gristle, contrary to what other local and national Steakhouses claim (are you listening Houston's? Morton's? Dickie Brennan's? Ruth's Chris?) \n\nMarbling (Fat) in a steak is a sign that it's a corn and barley-fed cow and it is NOT a free range meat. The longer that beef cattle are corn-feed, the higher the chance of fat ratio and the higher risk of acidosis to the cattle. Cattle should always eat grass, and NEVER eat grain. Luckily, it seems that Outback knows this and chooses to use free range cattle.\n\nLOCATION?\nLocated almost on the corner of Barataria Blvd and Patriot Street.\n\nPARKING? \nThey have their own parking lot, which is almost always FULL.\n\nSERVICE? \nSome of the best wait-staff around. Seriously. The wait-staff at this location truly seems to go out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful meal.\n\nCLEANLINESS?\nAlways clean on every visit.\n\nSAFETY?\nPretty safe. Haven't seen or heard about any issues here in all the years that it's been open.\n\nATMOSPHERE?\nVery family friendly, always busy, never too loud, but can get a bit noisy sometimes the later it gets.\n\nPRICES?\nPretty good prices for appetizers and entrées.\n\n\nMy only complaint about this location, which keeps it from getting 5 stars, is the hours.\n\nThis location is only open for Dinner. They are NOT open for Lunch, like they used to be before Katrina.",
"Outback provides consistantly well cooked, flavorful food everytime I go. I almost always order steak everytime I go. And to the guy who said that steak shouldn't have fat on it, are you kidding me? Fat = flavor. Ever wonder why ribeyes are more flavorful than a filet mignon? It's the fat. The most prized beef in the world, Kobe beef from Japan, looks almost pink because of the high fat content. Even when the usda grades beef, marbling is a factored into the rating. But anyways, give Outback a visit, I've never had a bad meal here.",
"Went there on Saturday night and of course it was crowded.\n\nThe waiter was excruciatingly slow. So he eventually brings some bread out. I ask for plates - he'll be right back. By the time they get there, bread is eaten. I have to specify we want silverware and napkins - apparently not everyone uses them. I had to specify that when drinks have been empty for 15 minutes, that's a cue to get refills. Just simple stuff.\n\nParking lot is always full, its just unneccessarily painful to park here.\n\nI know Outback can do better, I think our waiter needs to find a different line of work.",
"I've been here a couple times and always get crappy service. I also heard from so many people the service sucks. But I went there the other night and had amazing service. I didn't get her name but she was a cute little Asian girl. She looked about 18ish and she is very good at her job. Next time I go there I will request her.",
"In a pinch, Outback is a lifesaver. Full disclosure - it's about a 10 minute drive from my house, so it's one of very few eating options for dinner nearby. I may be a little biased due to lack of other options.\n\nThis location is always ridiculously crowded, so we usually choose not to eat in. Typically I'll go online (they have a mobile website too), place an order for pickup (fully customizable if you have any special requests), and then swing by in the 15-20 mins that it estimates for it to be prepared. Also, they have curbside pickup, so you never have to leave your car. \n\nYes, it's a chain, but it's extremely convenient. It's a good alternative to other takeout in the area (\"do you want pizza or Chinese food?\"). They have an extensive menu, including kids' options. There isn't anything that has ever really WOWed me at Outback, but I've never had a bad meal.",
"Been here several times for dinner over the years, you do need to get here early to find good parking (sometimes you have to park by the closed business next door) and also come early for dinner if you don't want to wait too long for a table. \n\nYes, as the others say this is a chain restaurant but with limited choices on the West Bank it is a place that can offer decent food at decent prices with good service. \n\nI love the seared tuna appetizer here the best though they do run out some times. The times I have been there, the manager usually comes out to check on you as well as the wait staff. I've had the benefit of having good servers every time I have been here. \n\nThe complimentary bread and drink refills were brought promptly. The steaks are okay, not the best though. I like the peach wallaby drink as I like peaches.",
"Our sever was Sally (well, that's what it said on our check). She was an Asian girl with blue colored contacts. She got two out of three orders wrong and blamed me for my order being wrong. (when ordering, she said the default dude was French fries and I said that would be fine). She also heard my boyfriend order some sort of chicken sandwich, he wad really specific about it, but he received the fillet focaccai sandwich. Which is like a steak sub you dip in nasty juice. She a wasn't very polite and it just really got to me when she blamed me for me not getting the thing she offered me. She didn't even offer us dessert before giving us the check. We might go back, but only to get food \"to go\".",
"Last November I left a review for Outback on Urbanspoon, seeing as no reviews since I feel it better suited for Yelp.\n\nThe overall experience this visit was quite dismal, very little to any good things to speak about. It didnt help the table we were seated in leaned quite a bit as my son's crayons kept rolling towards the floor.\n\nService - We arrived a little after 7 fully expecting it to be busy, we waited but were sat ahead of same size parties that were ahead of us, I asked about it and was told \"oh don't worry about it\". Our waitress was friendly but quite absent minded, we finished our appetizers before getting silverware, after asking twice. She would come stack up plates at the end of our table but then walk off, later to return with a 3rd refill after just receiving a full one. Every instance of seeing her was at least 10 minutes or so even after giving money to pay for our bill. Lastly what was bothersome was walking out to have the host open the door for a couple walking it but immediately walk away when we were to walk out, all the while making eye contact with myself,sure I can open my own doors but quite nonsensical.\n\nFood - My wife ordered the outback special with the lobster mac and green beans while I ordered the outback special with caesar salad and broccoli, both of us requested medium rare. Our appetizer came, son's food came, finished both and still was a 20 minute wait before receiving our food. The caesar salad I received had wilted lettuce as was completely swimming in dressing. The steaks had to have been the worst steak I have ever eaten at this location when their steaks are usually their high note. The steaks were both medium-medium well instead of the requested Medium rare, I made the comment to the waitress that it wasn't cooked correctly but we didnt wish to wait longer and she might want to just say something to the kitchen before more steaks are cooked improperly. She didn't offer to remedy the situation, take my comment into consideration but instead told me that my steak was medium rare and thats the way it should look, now I wish I would have taken a picture. Also, the steaks seemed to either be old or lack of marinade/seasoning as they were extremely bland and had a quite discerning taste, not fresh at all. On a positive note, the broccoli was cooked perfectly and tasted great but the same could not be said for my wife's green beans which were an oddity of textures with no flavor whatsoever. \n\nLong story short, with their ever increasing prices and the inconsistency from the kitchen and waitstaff I think we will be skipping outback for a while until we muster up enough courage to give it another shot. I feel I have given this place too many chances but have come up short every time.",
"After giving this place a few chances I don't think we'll be back. On one occasion I ordered the \"fall off the bone ribs\" and literally could not even cut through them with a steak knife.\n\n The last time we went my husband ordered a burger special that had double patties. Each of the patties could not have been any bigger than a McDonald's patty. They were clearly cheap, frozen burgers. I ordered the outback special medium and got a tough medium-well steak. The onion mum was also very greasy, like they put it straight on the plate from the fryer instead of letting it drain a little first. \n\nToo expensive for the quality, but at least the service is usually good.",
"My wife and I went celebrating our anniversary. We ordered the onion mum and it was sp greasy and nasty after the 3-4th piece. My wife ordered the Victiorian Fillet (Medium) and it was cooked very well. I ordered a ribeye (Medium Rare) and it came out somewhere in between blued and rare. I sent it back and it was burned to a crisp. They took it away in hopes of bringing me a fresh perfectly cooked medium rare and it was so rubbery that I could not even cut it. I then ordered a NY strip and I think out of mallice it was seasoned with so much black pepper on one side of the that my mouth and throat tasted as if I had swallowed battery acid. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THE MARRERO OUTBACK I will drive across the river to Metairie for one more chance."

"Yay! old city needed another market.\nOwners are very sweet and friendly.\nDELI SANDWITCHES ARE AMAZING.\nflavors like i have never tasted before....",
"Best little grocery store in the area.",
"Very nice people, better price's and lower credit card minimum then Sasafrass, only $7. Can't wait until they start making sandwiches!!!",
"Far and away the best Market/Corner Store/whatever you want to call it in the area. They have an extensive selection of dry goods and produce, and even have a brand new deli counter which serves salads, soups, and sandwiches all day long. Speaking of which, each day they have a different soup and salad on special which makes getting a fresh lunch to go super affordable and very tasty. The owners are very nice and accommodating and are always willing to go the extra mile to help you with whatever you need. Whenever we find ourselves out of things at the last moment, whether it be paper towels, bread, or onions, we always find ourselves going to Torch-Wood to buy them, and I definitely think you should too!",
"Convenient alternative to Sassafras Market, up the street. Only $7 credit card minimum and more affordable prices than the former.\n\nThey have La Colombe coffee, deli sandwiches, and miscellaneous dry goods. They have a bunch of random stuff- even Hi-Chew!\n\nThey offer a Chicken Tandoor sandwich, which I have to go back and try.\n\nPossibly the nicest grocery owners I've ever met.",
"You can't really ask for anything more than what you get at Torch-Wood. First of all, there's a reason that every review mentions the owners - they are incredible. Some of the friendliest people you'll never meet, let alone have the pleasure of giving your business to. The market is very well stocked with the essentials but it's the little touches here that make it unique. They go out of their way to bring in things that you might not see in other places....different types of cookies, snacks, crackers, chocolates, etc...\n\nLa Colombe coffee, fresh pastries in the morning. A full deli stocked with only Boar's Head products and the care that they take in making sandwiches is unlike anything I've ever seen.\n\nI really can't say enough good things about this place and these people.",
"Friendliest service, excellent selection of high quality beverages and snacks. Nice variety of sandwiches, rotating soup selection and extra large salads.",
"I completely agree with all of the other reviews for the Torch-Wood Market!\n\nI travel extensively for work and often times don't have any food in my fridge when I get back. The toasted Turkey sandwich on wheat is my \"go to\" and it's delicious!! Ingredients are fresh and there's a TON of meat on it!\n\nThe Owner's absolutely make this place! They are extremely friendly and cater to their customers. One time I was in there and they gave me a small bag of apple chips (new to the store) to try for free. \n\nThe Sea Salt Hummus chips are another one of my \"go to's\". I saw they were out of them and asked the daughter about it. She said her regular distributor stopped carrying them, however the next time I was in I noticed they were back!\n\nThis family run convenient store offers a wide range of items including La Columbe coffee (by the cup and whole beans), Chibani yogurt, fresh fruit, household cleaners and a wide variety of snacks and drinks. They have a full service deli with lunch specials and tasty soups!!\n\nCredit card min is $7.\n\nTorch-Wood is a hidden gem and I am thankful to have them close by!! Take a minute to stop by and see what they have to offer! You won't be disappointed!",
"I've never written a Yelp review, but it's worth joining just to support the amazing owners of Torch-Wood.\n\nI go to Torch-Wood every Tuesday night after working out. Usually I just buy a pre-made smoothie, but sometimes I pick up other things. One evening, I was so tired after my workout that I forgot my (already opened) smoothie at the register. I realized a few hours later, and thought to myself, \"bummer!\" So I was completely surprised when I walked in a day or two later and the owner flagged me down, ran to a refrigerator in the corner, and pulled out my smoothie BECAUSE HE SAVED IT FOR ME. I was completely floored. I've never, ever experience such a random act of kindness and will always go out of my way to shop there.\n\nOh, and they have doggie treats!",
"Went in there for the first time yesterday. Yes the owner was nice but there are no prices on basically any of the products, which is a big put off. I went in to get a half gallon of milk and it cost $3.50. That is extremely high for a half gallon. I'll definitely go back to give the sandwiches a try but it'd be nice if they could display prices on their products and holy moly drop that milk price."

"Best Mexican place in Tucson! Best salsa and can prove it. This is real Mexican food. Service is quick food is hot Drinks are cold!! Add this to your favorite list!",
"Salsa was flavorful and different, but should be served room temp for more flavor. It was very cold and the flavors didn't really pop in your mouth until it warmed up.\n\nThe green chile chicken enchiladas were just ok. Nothing special about the chicken, but the green chile sauce was different...and not in a good way. It was very creamy and white with little flecks of green (parsley?) it sure didn't seem like chiles. The side of rice tasted more like Uncle Ben's Mexican rice than real, authentic Mexican rice.\n\nAll in all, the service was great and the food wasn't bad, just not really that great either.",
"I believe this placed has changed ownership a few times since opening in Rita Ranch approximately 5-6 years ago. Over those 5-6 years, I have tried it about 1 time year. Their best attempt was about 3 years ago, but now this place is just horrible.\n\nI thought I would keep it easy and just got some nachos and a quesadilla. The nachos were lower quality than Los Betos (see picture) and the quasadilla had too much cheese packed in and wasn't even melted properly due to this. \n\nI'm not sure what other people see in this place as I'm yet to have 1 thing taste good from here all of my attempts. I am now drawing the line and will not be back.",
"Reviewer RR must be the owner or an employee because this place has mediocre food at best! I only gave it two stars because the service is better than the food.\n\nI have eaten in once - meh on the food, good service\n\nTake out once - food was again sub-par, 10 minute wait - acceptable\n\nRANT: I don't know what the people that have opened the last two Mexican restaurants in this location think, but they must think people that live in Rita Ranch are idiots about their Mexican food or that we won't drive 20 miles to get a decent meal! \n\nIf the owners read this: You are fooling yourself if you think you can stand up against the REAL players in the Mexican food biz in Tucson. Go eat at El Merendero, Mi Nidito, & El Minuto.....heck, try Los Betos. Their food is all better than yours and people will leave the area to eat it! \n\n I may give you another chance, but you may go out of business first.",
"The wife and I eat here at least once a week. We love the service, salsa, and enchiladas with green sauce. Excellent.",
"A tale of two dinners.\n\nA couple weeks ago we stopped by and ordered take out. It was ready pretty quickly, tasted good and we enjoyed it. So we didn't think twice about going back in.\n\nLast night we went back to eat in. BAD IDEA. First, we were told we could sit any where. Well, there were no clean tables. We really should have walked out then, but we didn't. We pointed out the table we wanted to sit at and one server said go ahead, but we then pointed out it needed wiped off. Oh...I'll get it, he said, but then he didn't. The busboy did come out and wipe it off.\n\nSo we sat down and were given menus. About 10 minutes later, the busboy came back and took our drink order and got us a couple beers. Well, it took about 20 minutes before the busboy came back to take our orders. The busboy hadn't gotten the order right so the server came over to ask hubby about his. The server was rude to hubby which didn't make matters any better.\n\nNow it wasn't that busy. There were about 8 tables in the 2 rooms with guests and 2 servers. The servers were running around looking busy, but not really achieving anything.\n\nOur food took another 20 minutes. It tasted fine and it was hot so the cooks are doing a good job.\n\nI wish we had tipped the busboy directly because he did a good job.\n\nWe might do take out again, but I'm not sure.",
"We have been going here since it was Cafe Bonita. The food is good and wait service is just OK. We brought the whole family and everyone enjoyed their food. We were a little disappointed with the fired ice cream. This has been getting smaller and smaller every time we come.",
"El Coronado is our new Monday night fav place. The service is good. There are several tv's in the dining area to watch football. The food is great! We've tried the cheese enchiladas, the shredded beef chimi, beef tacos and the shredded beef burrito...all good! The chips keep coming as do the soft drink refills. Also tried the red velvet cake. Yum! Really like it!",
"I wanted to try this place because its close to our house and they advertise cheap margaritas. (Ok I know I am pregnant, but I am putting together a list of places to go post baby.) We got the standard chips and salsa on the table which I thought was decent. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and my husband ordered the chicken chimi. When the food arrived there weren't any sides like rice and beans but it was enough food for us. My husband said that it was the most chicken he had ever seen in a chimi but the food lacked flavor. The chicken wasn't seasoned and it wasn't anything special. The prices were incredible which is the only reason I can give this place 3 stars. Our bill was $16 for both of us.",
"Do not waste ur time. The wait time is ridiculous! I have gone about 5 times in the last year and wait on average one hour for my entree. This is when the place still has plenty of open tables. I am not sure why it takes so long. Food is nothing special."

"Eggs Benedict with home fries were spot on!\nSat at the bar, saw everything coming out of kitchen. They're doing it right, here. I'll definitely be back.",
"Plan ahead. I took 30 minutes from the time we ordered until the time our food arrived and it showed. My over-medium eggs were not running in the slightest and the steak was overcooked. It's newer so that might be a factor. Maybe over time things will improve.",
"Perfect little breakfast nook! This very homey mom and pop restaurant is right on the money. They've only been open for like 3 weekends now so they're still working out the kinks but all in all a good experience ! The staff is very nice and attentive. When you walk in you will wait to be seated although there isn't a sign either a waitress or the person working the cash register will seat you. Like I said they're still a new business so be patient if it takes a few to seat ya. Our waitress Tracey was sooooo nice and attentive ! I ordered the heavenly corn beef hash and eggs. And it was delicious! My parents got an egg sandwich and just eggs with toast. Everything coming out is kitchen looked great. It looks just like home cooked goodness. I definitely recommend this place, it has a bit of everything for everyone and let me say you get a huge portion so you won't go home hungry !!! Can't wait to come back !",
"It's ok! Not my favorite place. They still seem kind of disorganized. They are relatively new. I got a bowl with potatoes, eggs, ham, cheese and gravy. Gravy is flavorless. My husband got a normal eggs over easy sour dough bread and sausage. He really enjoyed the sour dough bread",
"We were excited to try this new local cafe. When we eyed everyone's plates our excitement grew as it looked fantastic. My husband ordered a burger and fries...I ordered the veggie burger because the menu made it sound house made and fantastic. \n\nWhen our plates arrived they indeed looked great...fresh toppings, beautiful brioche bun; but, then we opened the sandwich and discovered patties that barely covered 2/3 of the bun. Obviously frozen, processed, and bland. \n\nTheir Facebook has touted homemade pies but we learned you must pre-order to buy a whole pie. Those who keep a few on hand offer extra convenience but not a deal breaker. \n\nGreat location, cute cafe, hoping maybe we just ordered wrong. \n\nCheck out was worst part of the experience. After being disappointed with the meal we had to stand and wait to pay while the gentleman at the counter and server who was going off duty added and re-added her tips so she could leave, versus taking care of the customer first. Hoping they work out the kinks.",
"Well, this was our first and last visit. Always looking for a good breakfast/brunch in Hendersonville. Thought we would try this place. The worst service. May be just Sunday morning but we spent more than 1 hour getting our food. Food was ok but so is Cracker Barrel...",
"I really wanted to like this place as we need another good breakfast spot in the area. Unfortunately, this is not it! The service was a little slow, mostly because they seemed very disorganized. No one seemed to know who was doing what so it was not getting done at all. There were 3 tables seated in the whole place, yet the food took almost an hour to come out. My son ordered a bacon and cheese omelet that was inedible. It was so shiny (a combination of being terribly underdone and the oil or grease they used to cook it) that anyone should have been able to see something was wrong. He attempted to eat it but said it was like slime going down his throat. Unfortunately, since the food took so long to come out, we did not have time for him to send it back or reorder. My breakfast sandwich was ok but my potatoes were not seasoned at all and were so overcooked that they were mushy. A few people have told me to give them another chance since they have had good experiences, but the jury is still out on when or if that will happen.",
"We waited 58 minutes from walking in, waiting, moving to a table, waiting, ordering, WAITING, until finally being served. Most of the tables were full, but it didn't seem like it should have taken that long or I wouldn't have stayed. The food was average & less that hot when it arrived. Coffee refills were slow. The only positives are that it's local owned & appears clean. I may give it a 2nd chance, if there are less than 5 other tables waiting.",
"This is my favorite breakfast spot in Hendersonville! They have the most amazing fluffy French toast that reminds me of my moms. My husband enjoys their coffee of the day. At first things were a little wonky, and I can see how some people might've had a bad experience, but don't let that deter you. They have been working out the kinks of being a new restaurant. We've been 5 times and plan to continue!",
"Great breakfast experience! Coffee was great, food was delicious and service was excellent. Support your small businesses so they can stick around for years to come. Don't let the chains take over our towns."

"The baked ziti was amazing! The garlic knots are bread, butter, garlic, and salt... and sooo good.",
"Ordered it tonight with the wife. Food was absolutely delicious. I keep my reviews short and sweet. I highly recommend.",
"Delivery was prompt, customer service both on the phone, and in person, was good.\n\nThe Pizza: Good sauce, and ingredients - but the crust . . . not so much. Not sure why, as I'm not a pizza maker . . . Even though it's a 'thin' crust (about 1/4\"-3/8\" thick, which to me, is a bit thick for a thin crust), it's too 'bready' for a 'thin' crust.",
"For the money the lunch specials are a good deal. Waiter was efficient even though every table was full, bathroom was clean even though there is leak from the ceiling that drips into the sink (there is a hole cut out of the ceiling). The line cook delivered our food, as the server was slammed. Food was passable but not unique or special. If you are hungry and don't have a lot to spend for lunch than this is the place for you.",
"The best pizza I've ever had was from a little shop in East Syracuse N.Y. called Alessandro's. Since then I have been trying to find a pizza that even comes close. These guys come VERY close!! They call it New York style pizza and it is! Real cheese and a very tasty crust make this my new favorite pizza joint in Tucson! The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent! Give it a try!!",
"Jimmy's (formerly Canal Street) is solidly good food. It's not the most authentic Italian food, and it isn't really NY-style pizza except for in shape, but it still tastes pretty good.\n\nMy husband has liked every pizza he's ordered. He always gets the small size (10in.) and that's way more than enough for one person. They don't skimp on toppings or cheese, so each slice is pretty hefty. The veggies all taste pretty fresh. The meats are decent. The cheese is decent. The red sauce is pretty good. It is a little sweet, like a good tomato sauce, and fairly well-seasoned. The crust can be a little thick, which is what really makes me say it's not \"real\" NY-style pizza. However, it tastes just fine.\n\nWe've also tried the buffalo chicken specialty pizza. Their buffalo sauce is actually really good! It's pretty hot, too, which is a huge plus! And the hot doesn't overpower it, so it's still plenty flavorful. The chicken has always been tender and good quality. Overall, it's a very tasty pizza, and a nice change from the more traditional pie.\n\nI always order the baked ziti, but without the sausage. (I just don't like sausage, it has nothing to do with theirs in particular.) The sauce, again, is very seasoned and pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but it ranks high amongst the sauces I've had in Tucson. They clearly put oregano and basil in it, which are the base of a good Italian sauce. They also put plenty of ricotta cheese mixed into the ziti. One thing I've noticed -- and I'm not sure they do it on purpose -- the pasta doesn't end up soupy, so it seems like they're draining the ricotta, which is exactly how it should be done. Lots of mozzarella is layered on top and then baked until the cheese is melty but a little browned. \n\nThe baked ziti is served with a few of their amazing garlic knots. If you go to Jimmy's, you MUST try the garlic knots! They're garlicy. They're buttery. They're so bad for you, but they're so good for you, too! They certainly make me very happy!\n\nThe service since they changed to Jimmy's has been really good and very friendly. They're always on top of drink refills and any other request. \n\nThe prices are reasonable and the portions are large. The dining room has TV's tuned onto sports most of the time. The dining room itself isn't fancy or anything, but I find it to be kinda cozy. The bathroom has always been clean whenever I've been in there.\n\nOverall, I'll be returning to Jimmy's. It's not the most authentic, but it is still tasty and I enjoy it.",
"Jimmy's Pizzeria has always been amazing. The quality of food is fantastic, the service is exceptional, and the drink specials are right on the money! I'm very fond of the baked ziti, Philly cheese sandwich, and of course their garlic knots. Even my husband who is picky about his pizza will always be very happy with Jimmy's!",
"Odd it's taken me this long to do a Yelp review, but here's to the beginning of a dynasty. I think.\n\nI went to Jimmy's tonight after the suggestion of a friend who was in attendance with both myself and my girlfriend. We had originally intended to stop by and visit Whole Foods but the sign that simply read \"PIZZA\" served as a beacon in the night. These days, it isn't that often I get into a place without a preface, but such was the case with Jimmy's. What felt like familiar LA-being-NYC decor and a chalk menu suggested myriad pizza and pasta options along with some salads, beers, and other specialty drinks. The pizza all sounded amazing but I settled for something I haven't had in years -- baked ziti. My girlfriend and her friend selected the Treehugger (vegetarian) pizza. Their pie arrived piping hot with an ample crust, plenty of toppings and a good balanced of cheese. My ziti was prefaced by a simple salad with a few cherry tomatoes and a side of decent Italian dressing -- nothing to write home about. But the main course -- fantastic! I've always had an aversion to tomatoes but have struggled in the last few years to decimate such a ridiculous problem for a boy of Sicilian heritage. The marinara used here was outstanding, balanced ever so perfectly with a blend of ricotta and mozzarella, creamy in the dish and bubbling brown on the outside, additionally topped with sausage for that nice kick of salty, caraway-ey kick. Furthermore, I was also given four garlic knots, which was a perfect way to sop up leftover sauce (which proved problematic since I wasn't leaving very much behind...). I was really impressed, and for about $40 with tax and tip, we got out with a pretty decent amount of food. Definitely planning to go back soon.",
"Wonderful little spot for a cheap & filling lunch, happy hour drinks at the bar, or a delicious dinner. I had a superb server named Kenny and left feeling as though I made a new best friend! This is definitely some of the best pizza I have found in Tucson. They have a seafood pizza which sounds most bizarre, but is actually very yummy! The garlic knots and parmesan potatoes may wreak havoc on your well planned diet, yet they somehow always leave you in the happiest of food hazes!! Delivery is prompt as well and the driver, Timmy, was quite congenial. I will certainly return to this restaurant due to the amicable staff & tasty food:)",
"I'm from New York so when a place puts \"New York\" in its name it better live up to it. Jimmy's falls way short. I tried some pizza by the slice. The crust tasted like a pre-made crust (I don't think it was but that was the consistency) and the sauce tasted like it came from a jar with the acrid taste of dry oregano overpowering the tomatoes. The cheese was so-so. Afterwards I suffered from agida."

"We were looking for a kind of nice place to go with our 4 YO and saw Trattoria Toscana described as \"casual\" and \"family friendly\" on City Search.\n\nNo.\n\nThis is a fine dining restaurant and they don't serve pizza. This makes it challenging when your little one doesn't like spaghetti (or anything like it). There is no kids menu, of course. There was another family in there with kids. Everyone else was 60-plus. The good news is our little one likes chicken and loved the bread, so we made it out with no issues. \n\nWe kept is simple with Cannelloni and Chicken Romano (proscuitto and cheese on lightly breaded breast pieces). Cannelloni is our go to dish when trying a new Italian restaurant and I have to say, this is as good as any we've had anywhere. The chicken was OK - missing any kind of wow factor by quite a bit, but it was fine with some salt. The side pasta dish was excellent, as was the bread.\n\nBoth dishes came with a house salad (no alternatives were mentioned). it was fresh with a nice array of greens, but bland.\n\nService was just plain excellent - very attentive without being overbearing. Prices were very reasonable for this type of restaurant. I'd say we'll go back and try another pasta dish. Probably without the little one, though. I'd rate this a great place to take Mom for her birthday. \n\nParking was at a premium due to the Ten Mile House next door, which seemed to be hopping early on a Saturday night. We parked right in front, which required us to back out onto Gravios without a good look at traffic. Scary.\n\nBottom line: if you're a pasta lover looking for fine dining that won't break the bank, or if it's your mom's birthday, give it a try.",
"Trattoria Toscana is located in a cheesy old strip mall in Affton next to the Ten Mile House. \n\nWe stopped by on a rainy night and were pleasantly surprised. The decor is slightly upscale (low lights, white table cloths, dressy waitstaff). \n\nThe food consists of traditional Italian pasta and entrees. We had the Risotto ($14), Cannelloni ($14), and Veal Saltimbocca ($16). All entrees came with salads with fresh mozzarella. Yum. The Saltimbocca (one of my faves) was just OK, but the risotto was good. Portions were large on the pasta dishes and plenty of Italian bread was brought to the table with olive oil/parmesan dip and butter. Refills are given frequently. \n\nOverall, we had a nice experience. The staff were VERY attentive and service was excellent. I'll definitely be back.",
"Went with the usual lunch group -- with a coupon. That didn't hamper the service we got in this linen-clad dining room at LUNCH time.\n\nLovely traditional dishes. Great salads. Everybody loved their dishes.\n\nUpon leaving, we got a coupon for a complimentary bottle of wine on next visit.\n\nThey're a great bunch who's glad you came and is happy to serve you!",
"Went with 2 girlfriends on one of our nights for dinner. Had a Groupon. They were all very nice there. Lovely interior, and I have to agree with Kelly's assessment of the \"cheesy old strip\" and it was surprising to find a nice place tucked in it. Just about as surprising inside as it was crummy outside (but they have a very nice exterior for their place). It was a Thursday after work and not busy at all--I felt sorry for them that they go to so much trouble for so few patrons.\n\nThere is nothing at all wrong with it. We all liked the house salad served with dinners. I had Veal Marsala, which I frequently order at nice Italian restaurants. I thought the veal itself was lacking in taste, although the Marsala part of the dishh was fine. My friend loved her lobster ravioli. My other friend had chicken parmesan, which was a huge serving, and looked exactly like you would think it should.\n\nWe split a cheesecake slice for dessert, which came with fresh strawberries and amply took care of the 3 of us. I agree with Tom J. who said it was a great place to take your Mom for her birthday. It is quiet (although the 3 of us were kind of noisy, but there was no one else talking to cover us). We had our typical yakky dinner out. Other customers filtered in, and there were much quieter, more in tune with the atmosphere. Yes, an older crowd--but a couple of working men also ate there that night. \n\nThe recorded music was Italian-like and a Frank Sinatra that I noticed. Not rocking. But an enjoyable place to go if you want a quiet, intimate evening--or even if you want to talk with friends.",
"The bread was awesome as well as the olive oil dipping sauce. Service & ambience was perfecto. My pasta said that it was spicy in the menu, but it really didn't have a kick to it. The marinara sauce could have used a little work on it. I was happy that they offered calamari that wasn't fried. The Pasta Tutto Mare had lots of seafood. The menu offerings weren't much.",
"I eat here two to three times a month, the food is always great along with the calamari, I strongly recommend having the soup. I was amazed how great the soup was there last week. Salad is great and the bread and olive plate is hands down the best anywhere.",
"Chef Tiki makes such wonderful sauces. The bread is very good, I really enjoy the salad, but my BF isnt a big fan. he does eat it tho. Everything I have tried is delizioso. I love the ambiance, and the service is immpeccable. I can still hear \"Volare\" playing in my head.",
"We acquired a Groupon for this particular venue - an excellent motivator to dine out! We booked a reservation with no issues whatsoever in hopes of having a nice, romantic dinner for two. \n\nThe layout and ambiance was very nice and even held a touch of romance. The service was also excellent as we had multiple associates catering to our every need. The parking lot is a bit close to the main road and can fill up quickly - not a complaint...just an FYI. \n\nWe enjoyed our fair share of the complimentary bread and olive oil, which was delicious. We also enjoyed the smoked salmon appetizer, which was excellent and very flavorful. I ordered the lobster ravioli as my entree, and it was amazing. It was also the perfect portion size - filling but not excessive. The pasta was cooked to perfection as well. \n\nOverall, Trattoria Toscana was a wonderful dining experience. I recommend giving it a shot for pasta lovers that wish to dine outside of the Hill - break free once in a while! Cost-wise - it is not expensive but not exactly cheap, but the quality is well worth the price.",
"Excellent flavors on the chicken dishes. Fresh ingredients in the side dishes. Very good wine selection. Reasonable prices.\n\nThe seafood pasta had frozen mussels and the clams were on the fishy side. Also the ambiance is a bit outdated and attracts an older clientele.",
"Great place. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good quality authentic Italian cuisine. Service was very good .The lobster ravioli is amazing. I have been there twice and will go back again."

"This place was amazing. Everything from the food to the customer service. Everyone from the start of your burrito to the end of the cash register. During my visit I order a chicken quesirito. Which is a burrito wraped in a quesadilla. This was recommended by one of the employees. I was really impressed by the cashiers friendliness. When I got to the register I went to pay for my bill and my card got denied. Instead of embarrassing me he let me know, but he comped my meal. I also found the restraunt to be very clean. It seemed as if the cashier was doing a majority of the work, and running around the sitting area to make sure everything was clean. I was more than happy with my first trip there, and I definilty plan on going back. I also was impressed by the fact I was asked how my food tasted, you don't usually get that at a fast food establishment",
"Litterally eat here 3 times a week. If I'm hungry I get the burrito but if I just want flavor I get the tacos. Alway go both beans and always go half safritas half chicken. It will change your life. Amen.",
"For a fast casual lunch or quick dinner, this place is a great value for the $. The burritos are tasty, and this Chipotle's staff are always friendly and quick with taking care of your order. If one is looking for a quick inexpensive lunch in downtown Boise, I'd definitely recommend this Chipotle's.",
"Quick service, helpful staff, and pretty awesome food. I decided to go here because my boyfriend wanted burritos... While I'm not a huge fan of them myself, the ones that I got were pretty delicious. :)",
"So, I've eaten at chipotle all over the country and love this place. However, this location is not representative of the others I've been to. Last time I was here I found completely raw chicken in my rice bowl. Amazingly, I didn't get sick. This time, the table next to me asked for a manager and showed him a fly in their burrito! Needless to say, I probably won't be coming back here. Those are two pretty big errors I my book.",
"Being a past employee of Chipotle, I'm aware of the kinds of people they hire. They don't just hire anyone looking for work, they look for people who are team-oriented and driven to move up. Knowing this, I go into every Chipotle, expecting to be greeted happily, as well as make sure I reciprocate that greeting. I visited on 7/21/2015. It was busy as usual because it was right around lunch time. I wait about 1 minute in line, which is normal. When I get to the young lady working the tortilla press, She says, 'What can I get for you?' Straight face, no emotion, just neutral, which caught me off guard. I ask how her day is going, hoping she'll feel better, because I've been there before. She states, 'Fine, so what can I get for you?' At this point, it's a lost cause. Not only did she come off unenthusiastic, she ruined a customer connection. And I can guarantee other customers noticed her uninviting \n\nOther than that, everyone else on the line was friendly. The food was okay as usual. The chips were a little salty, Guacamole had some brown chunks in it, which I've experienced before.",
"I have eaten here a couple times now and both times I was disappointed. I went here because they went organic so I was super excited. The first time they just put too much in our burritos and they broke open. You had to eat the burrito with a fork. This happened again the second time I ate there. I watched the server make a burrito and ask the guy if its okay that it broke open. The customer said remake it. I got my drink cup filled it with tea and there was a body hair (not mine)on the cup. Then when I was eating my chicken burrito, there was a piece of steak and a piece of pork in it. I was totally grossed out and couldn't eat any more. There food bar has been questionable each time I have been in here. They need to work on the cleanliness on their store as well as grooming habits of employees.\n\nI have eaten at the Milwaukee location and they made the perfect burritio!!! and their food bar was super clean. Totally different atmospheres.",
"I come here at least 3 times a week. The customer service and attitude of the employees could really use some work. I was ordering my usual chicken salad with extra lettuce (because I put nothing on it) while the girl putting lettuce in my bowl was mid action of dropping lettuce in another employee comes over and rips it out of her hand and says \"that's enough\" even though he had not heard me ask for extra. She says \"she asked for extra lettuce\" and his response in front of me \"ya, well that's enough\" he then sloppily scoots my bowl down the line throwing some cheese and flopping sour cream in it like he was so put out out that I had come in there. This wasn't the first time I've been shocked by the attitudes and unfriendliness of the staff.",
"My preferred Chipotle here in Boise, the food is MUCH less salty than I've experienced at the Milwaukee Chipotle and luckily it's closer to my office. Been here a couple of times during the lunch hour, the lines can be long but they're pretty efficient at moving people through. I'm surprised to see the poor customer service reviews as they've always been great. But I also prefer the lack of small talk. I don't really like to talk about my day with everyone I run across. To each his own. *shrug*",
"This place was filthy. Most of the tables were dirty and when I brought it to the employees attention no one did anything. Also, their coke dispenser was spitting out diet coke. Again no one seemed to care."

"Chipotle makes me happy and makes me miss San Diego just a smidge less. \n\nThis location is close to home and brand new. The staff was all as friendly as you'd expect to find and even though it was slow when we got there the food still seemed fresh. \n\nWhen I need a burrito that isn't covered in cheese or has to be eaten with a knife and fork I'm happy to have chipotle so close to help curb my cravings until I can make it home for a real burrito",
"Chipotle is a go to for fast food as it is the best quality at reasonable prices. They are inclusive in menu selections offering both meat and vegan friendly plant based options. I appreciate that immensely.",
"A new location up the hill. We are becoming regulars here. The servers are consistently inviting as soon as one walks thru the door. Place stays consistently clean and the workers actually care. \nMy kids are notorious to changing their minds and the servers are always patient. Not an easy feat. \nOne must drive up the hill and then park. Food is fresh and made to order. We always get the burrito or burrito bowl. The chipotle mix is really good and we always get the quac. \n\nWhat keeps us coming to this one are the servers. Great job Manager. See you again either Tuesday or Thursday after sports at school.",
"This was the cleanest chipotle I have ever visited. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend this location.",
"I love Chipotle, but this one really stands out. The staff is always friendly, professional, and the taste is consistent. I recently ordered catering and it was superb.",
"By far the best experience for a 1st time visitor. The staff is SO friendly! They have a good working vibe with each other and the customers. It was so refreshing to see happy employee's and infecting every one else's happiness. Plus the food was fresh and delish! I'll definitely be back!",
"After an initial good few weeks, the employees at this new Chipotle have already stopped caring. As a frequent online orderer, I just had to go back in twice because they forgot parts of my order. And I had to practically jump up and down and scream to get their attention. It was nice while it lasted.",
"If I could do less than a star I'll do it,, the evening staff (8:00pm) is really unprofessional, skipping people and ignore them. And the food doesn't looks clean. Go find another branch cuz this one is disgusting",
"Staff was partially enthusiastic, while their counterparts acted annoyed to serve customers. \n\nChips were over sprayed with lime juice and soggy. \n\nMeat was old, cold, no new meat cut during prime dinner hours. \n\nCondiment area was incredibly dirty. Stainless everywhere had spots. \n\nMen's bathroom dirty. AND even worse? Toilet paper was wrong side up. #wash my hands of this place",
"Food is fresh and usually very good. Quality has deteriorated since my last visit. Lettuce was scarce, and rusted. Chicken was gristly. I ordered a salad and received less than a cup of lettuce. Who skimps on lettuce? Maybe it is an off day. Noticed their guacamole was discolored last time. Will give them one more try, before giving up."

"Best Pizza in the area and by area I mean South Jersey!! Thin crust like NY and awesome crust. \n\nThank god, we were about to give up on pizza!",
"Got take out food last night (lg cheese pizza, parm garlic wings, eggplant parm, and chicken blue salad). Everything was delicious! Pricing is very fair ! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone ! It's our new pizza place!",
"Was going through withdrawal when Jakes closed in Pitman, but so glad it reopened not too far. We got the onion rings, pork sandwich and a slice of chicken/roasted pepper pizza. Everything was excellent.",
"I'm actually writing this review as I'm eating because I'm not sure I will be able to accurately describe my feelings about this place and its food once I'm done.\n\nFrom recommendation the first on the order was their onion rings. My thoughts: Crisp'd to perfection. Seasoned batter left a flavorful bite. The dip had you wishing they sold it separately.\n\nOrder them! Their famous for it.\n\nThe entrees were a Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak and a Sausage with Peppers, Onions, and Marinara Sauce ordered from their Specialty Sandwiches list. \n\nFirst off, everything here is homemade and made with QUALITY food. The Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak was full of real chicken breast, not shredded, and just the right combination of buffalo sauce and cheese. The Sausage sandwich had a very healthy serving of meat, peppers, onions, and sauce.\n\nNeedless to say, this isn't the typical quick service restaurant. Food is made to order. Again, everything is homemade. The quality is tasted in every bite. The owner is present and involved in making sure premium service is delivered. I would recommend this place to anyone and certainly be back for another meal. \n\nThanks for dinner! It was D-Lish!",
"Im a big foody. I was born in ny and grew up in north jersey. Pizza up there is different. Finally i found good pizza in south jersey. Thank god its close to home. I so recommend this place. Yay for jakes",
"Great buffalo cheese steak sandwich. Outstanding onion rings. Portions are huge! Bring a friend to help you eat this. The friendly owner made me feel at home. Glad I found this great local spot on Yelp!!",
"So happy this pizza shop opened close to me. I've never gotten anything bad here. Tonight is ravioli, tortellini, pizza and steaks. Y U double M Y.",
"Wow, their pizza is really really good. I dunno if it's the sauce or they add something else but it's really quite tasty. Was pleasantly surprised. This place is only like 10 minutes away from my house, so that's awesome as well. There's a pizza place across the street from my house called Not Just Pizza, the difference between the pizza at Jake's on Greentreen and the place across the street from my house is like night and day. Jake's pizza is like 100x better. I didn't think there could be a huge difference between plain cheese pizzas at the two different pizza places, but man was I wrong. I'll definitely be ordering again, next time i'll try a pizza with a topping or maybe one of their specialty pizzas.",
"Fantastic pizza. Awesome garlic knots. The owner was super nice as well. We walked in there around 10pm on Friday night. She was super friendly. The pizza slices were huge & fresh when they came out of the oven. She even threw in some extra garlic bread for us. Nice that it's only a couple minutes away from our hotel, & even better that they deliver to the hotel. Might have to eat from them again before heading back!",
"Stopped in and ordered a veal parm sandwich and onion rings. The veal parm was nothing to rave about and the onion rings which are supposed to be great were over cooked and chewie. Won't be goin back."

"So much meat. So much delicious meat. \n\nI can 100% guarantee if you are a vegetarian or don't eat red meat you will not have a good time finding food here. They have a couple salads and some chicken options but this is a smokehouse/bbq restaurant so bear this in mind.\n\nHOWEVER, if you love down-home bbq this place will not let you down. From pulled pork to racks of ribs, there's saucy bbq'ed meat for everyone.\n\nThe sides are pretty tasty - I had the mac and cheese (which was simple, creamy and everything I wanted with a pulled pork sandwich) and the Cajun potato salad (which was potato salad; it was good). They also had fries, rice and beans. Apparently the beans are delicious.\n\nIt's casual - had the football game on, and blues blasting. The service is fast - we waited less than 10 mins between ordering and getting our food. \n\nIf you want to get sauce on your face and your belly full, give this place a try.",
"Finally, a real BBQ place in Edmonton! Smokehouse BBQ has only been open for a little while, but it is a great addition to 124 Street.\n\nThis is definitely no place for vegetarians. Even the corn bread muffins have bacon in them (but they are delicious! And inexpensive; only $0.50 a piece). But if you love meat, especially southern-style BBQ, this is the place for you.\n\nThey have a variety of sandwiches, like pulled pork, smoked brisket, and the \"Burnt Endz\" which is BBQ beef with caramelized onions and coleslaw. They've also got all of the usual BBQ foods: pulled pork, smoked brisket, St. Louis ribs, and 1/4 smoked chicken. I haven't yet tried all of the meat on the menu, but I've had a fair sampling and it is all delicious.\n\nThe sides are decent, but not great. The focus here is definitely on the meat. That's to be expected in a BBQ place, of course, and the sides are still a good compliment to the main course. They could be improved a bit, though.\n\nThe various starters are also good. My wife and I shared the jalapeno poppers and nearly got divorced trying to decide who would get the last one! (OK, not really, but I wish the order came with 6 instead of 5 because they were so good!) Rather than the usual breaded and fried poppers, these were jalapenos filled with cheese and then wrapped in bacon. I highly recommend them.\n\nWhat puts Smokehouse BBQ over the top for me, and gets them an extra star, is the beer menu. They've only got 4 taps, but all of them are devoted to local beer (three of Alley Kat's regular lineup -- Amber, Charlie Flint, and Full Moon -- and one devoted to a seasonal brew). The bottle selection includes the same options plus Aprikat and a number of mainstream beers like MGD and Coors.\n\nThe atmosphere is casual -- similar to what you might get at a BBQ roadhouse in the South -- with football on the TV and great blues music in the background. The service was friendly and efficient -- I hope that the current staff sticks around for a long time, because they're some of the friendliest servers I have experienced in Edmonton.\n\nIn short: Smokehouse BBQ is excellent. Great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere with a good beer menu. I'll definitely be back regularly.",
"We went here for dinner and it was awful. We waited an hour for our appetizer, which was cold. We got the bacon bomb. It was like an over salted meat hockey puck. Another hour went by before getting our dinner. Everything on our plate was so cold, dry and very bland. Our waitress forgot our drinks 3 times. However I think she was very overwhelmed being that it was very busy and seemed to be understaffed. So although service was slow, I dont think it was really her fault. My issue was much more with the food. Silver lining...my husband seemed to really like the dirty rice. The rice is what got the rating from one star to two.",
"I went there on a Sat night with my girlfriend, we waited 30min for a seat which is fine, it was busy. But once we did get seated the waitress never came back to take our order, after 15min with the menus on the edge of the table under our empty glasses about 30min since sitting, I flagged a waitress over and told her we were waiting and hadnt placed our orders she assured us someone would be right over. Then after another 15-20 I watched 2 tables that were seated after us place orders- At this point we decided we were just goin to leave.\n Most of the staff had very bad attitudes(not with me)just in general and were trashing talking a certain waitress who seemed to be one of the only ones doing a decent job. \nI would never go back.",
"The food that arrived correctly was absolutely fantastic (hence the 2 stars). Its a shame the service was absolutely terrible. It took 20 minutes before our drink order was taken, another 20 before our food order was taken, and another 30 before we managed to get our drinks refilled. The server was rude, slow and complained to us about other servers. She was also nasty to a member of our party that requested the mac and cheese without the pork topping. We thought about dessert but gave up after waiting another 20 minutes for a menu. If you are going to eat here, don't go on a Saturday night.",
"The service was reasonably good and the premises were clean, but my twice-smoked brisket sandwich didn't taste, well, all that smoky. I'm happy enough to have stopped by, but I won't be in a huge rush to return.",
"Finally! We have not one, but two, BBQ places in Edmonton. Plus, I love seeing all these new places open up on 124 St.\n\nI went on a Wednesday evening and it was pretty quiet, although our server said it hadn't been that quiet since they opened. They've got a much bigger space than I thought, and it looks like this could be a great place to take a large group. They have a long table set up in one side of the restaurant.\n\nThey've got a bunch of local beers on tap, which is awesome, and some really interesting sounding other drinks, although I wasn't drinking this time. Our food did take a little while longer than expected, given how busy it was, but it wasn't an unreasonable wait time.\n\nWe all got ribs and brisket, which comes with bacon jalapeno cornbread and two sides. The mac and cheese was some seriously good comfort food. The meat was tasty and tender, although I found the sauce a bit overpowering. But I still really enjoyed my meal. \n\nThe atmosphere is fun; the servers all wear shirts with sassy meat-related sayings on the back, and they have a poster up that says \"I like pig butts and I cannot lie\". I can't resist a good pork pun.",
"FINALLY! Good barbecue in Edmonton!\n\nI just rolled myself back home after an impromptu dinner at Smokehouse. First impressions were: a strong, smoky smell, old church pews for booths, plastic tablecloths (a good omen of a messy meal to come), and paper menus. I want no pretense with my smoked meat, thank you--this is serious business.\n\nThey had a fine selection of AlleyKat beers on tap, and a good-sized menu boasting something for everyone, including non-meativores. But that wasn't me tonight. I went straight in for the pulled pork sandwich. Our server informed us there was just a bit of the Memphis-style sauce on it, but I was excited about the \"Carolina sauce\" listed on the menu, which had to be vinegar-based with a name like that. I attempted to order some, but I was told we'd get all the sauces in short order.\n\nThe meat and sandwich were fantastic. There was but a squirt of sauce, making it really easy to assess the Carolina sauce--which, I have to admit, I didn't get past. It was a respectably spicy vinegar sauce, just as I'd hoped. There was also the tiniest bit of slaw, which is the way a pulled pork sandwich should be served. I got some extra slaw on the side, too, which was quite good. But the meat was the shining star, and the fried pickle atop the bun just made everything perfect.\n\nOur friend ordered the brisket and ribs, and was delighted with both. The ribs had been cooked so perfectly that the meat slid off them. She said the cornbread was a bit dry, but we were all in agreement that you don't go to a place like this for anything but the meat. \n\nWe couldn't humanly try the desserts after all the meat we'd consumed, but we will have to upon our return, which will be soon.",
"Had dinner with some friends expecting an interesting dining experience and we got one. We had a large meat platter to share between 4 hungry people and overall it was good. The brisket was tender and tasty, the chicken was flavourful and slightly dry and the ribs were tasty but again slightly dry. One saving factor were the variety of sauces on the tables. Each was interesting to try but none of it memorable. We had come just before dinner and expected the food to be on point but it wasn't. We were all unhappy about our sides, the potatoes in the potato salad weren't cooked, the rice was bland, the coleslaw was so bitter we couldn't take more than a mouthful. Added to this, the service was just okay. The pacing could have been better i.e. we could have gotten utensils faster and drinks could have been replenished at the appropriate time. The only redeeming thing was dessert. My partner and I each had the lemon pie in a jar and it was pretty filling and flavourful . Next time we'll share it. I'd like to go back in a couple of months to see if things improve.",
"I am heartbroken. This was by far the best barbecue in Edmonton, but then an incident involving a greasy rag and a drier resulted in a missing roof and about a half million dollars in damage. \n\nThe food was excellent: properly smoked pork shoulder pulled expertly (not shredded and not chunky) with a great array of sauces in squirt bottles. The place reminded me of some of the better barbecue joints I went to in my homeland, the American South, down to the checkered tablecloths and feisty servers, and even though I only went once I miss it dearly.\n\nI'm posting this half in mourning, but half in hopes that like Tinkerbell, if enough people clap hard enough, Smokehouse BBQ will come back from near death with flashing lights and a fighting spirit."

"Our spot!!! Chilis is what it is... always consistant and Meghan is hot and awesome! Sit at the bar!",
"We have eaten at this location numerous times. This last time (yesterday), however, was entirely different. The problem: SERVICE - or a lack thereof.\n\nIn a word: HORRIBLE\n\nThe manager did not manage his restaurant well. Guests waited long periods to place orders, to get served, to get the bill, etc... He appeared to be far over his head and couldn't manage his lackluster staff. He resorted to giving away food to many people to assuage their angst.\n\nUntil we hear things have radically improved, we'll stay clear of this poorly run establishment.",
"went there for my birthday a week or so ago. fast service, awesome waiter! talked with us a while, joked with the husband about being a ASU fan while living in Tucson lol made sure we had drinks before they ran out, same with chips and salsa. did great with the kids. food was hot and tasted good! will defiantly go back to this one instead of the one in Marana! plus got a free b-day dessert!",
"I have eaten, at this restaurant, four times. Food has been consistently good. Service both friendly and efficient.\n\nTheir current promotion, 2 for 20 is a good case in point. You can get one appetizer and two entrees for $20. As an appetizer we had fried cheese. In the past we've had fried onions, salsa with chips etc. I then had Chicken Fajitas (very good) my wife had ribs - OK (Possibly we should have selected a spicer sauce). For Desert we had the Molten Chocolate Cake ( topped with vanilla ice cream under a hard chocolate shell.).\n\nThey have a full bar and take out service as well.",
"I do LOVE Chili's for their best Quesadilla Salad! I do like their current promotion 2 for $20 including your choice of the appetizer! This is like a \"STEAL\"! I was also impressed with the server for providing us the best services and always filled up our drinks. I am giving this restaurant 4 stars!",
"Food 4 stars, but service 1 star!\n\nWhile in town for a national mixed doubles tennis tournament, we had a team dinner here. There were 10 of us and we arrived at 6:30pm. It took about 45 minutes for us to get seated, but we were seated at two tables across from each other which were meant for 4 people. We were going to do 5 and 5, but some people wanted to sit with each other, so it was 6 and 4. I was at the 4 table and we were very comfortable.\n\nIt took about 10 minutes for a server to acknowledge us, then take our drink orders. We didn't see her for another 30 minutes with our drinks. When she brought our drinks, we were more than ready to order. \n\nOnce we ordered, it took another 35 minutes for our appetizers to come out, then another 10 minutes for our main entrees to arrive.\n\nNeedless to say, we were very hungry by the time our food arrived.\n\nI know the restaurant got slammed with two local youth sports teams just before our group arrived, but the service should be much better at a national chain like Chili's.\n\nIf you eat dinner here, then be prepared to wait for a table and for your food!!! or just wait in general.",
"Food is good but unfortunately the service is Slow. Maybe not the servers fault as she is always busy. But I think she is doing it alone at a busy time!",
"Wife and I stopped in for dinner... Service was great and the food was wonderful. The servers were attentive, friendly and appeared to enjoy working there. It was obvious on their faces. Keep up the good work!",
"MMMMMMM Chili's in Oro Valley is the BOMB. They have revamped the place. Staff is ALWAYS great. Servers are engaging, attentive without being overbearing and food is AWESOME!",
"Hubby and I went to Chili's again. We absolutely LOVE the place. This time though I was a little miffed. Right before our meal was served a dumpy looking female came in with her dog. She looked homeless and as though she had not bathed in a few days. Granted the dog had on a \"service dog\"\" vest. But I know for a fact that you can order those off the internet for about $20. THIS dog was no service dog. It was one of those mangy looking poodle mutt mixes. Now, I know that the restaurant has to allow people to bring in a dog if it is a service dog. But really. it needs to be a REAL SERVICE DOG. I have met actual soldiers and others who REALLY NEED A SERVICE DOG. And for people like this baglady bringing in her yappy dog while others are trying to eat is like a slap in the face to those who REALLY need and use service dogs. There ought to be an office that oversees the registration of service animals just like there are for handicapped placards. Some people will take advantage of any situation they can. As far as my experience at Chili's; the food was great, as always, the atmosphere was great, as always, the staff were all great, as always. The ONLY thing that kept me from fully enjoying my night out with hubby is the fear that I might catch something from this person or her dog."

"I know this is a chain in the middle of the suburbs, but did everyone have to act like such mediocre zombies?",
"I used to live right near here, so I have been there a few times. It's like a slightly (and only slightly) better version of Olive Garden. The pizza is ok, the entrees were clearly put together by 18-year-old \"chefs\" in the back using the microwave heavily. You can get out of there for like $20/person with tip but why? I only ever went when my more frugal friends wanted to go out but 1) didn't want to spend a lot and 2) didn't want to go into Philly. \n\nDon't go.",
"An ok place to eat. The pizza is tasty, made in a brick oven and most of the dishes are acceptable. What draws me back, though, is the bread brought to the table, with the garlic olive oil for dipping. The bread turns a mediocre chain resturant into an OK one.",
"It is obvious this place is a chain, and it is also obvious that much of their food is not freshly prepared by any sort of qualified chefs. This place is on par with the likes of the Olive Garden. The food was decent enough for the money, the atmosphere was very substandard, and the service was just okay. Since none of these factors were outstanding, I don't think I will be returning anytime soon (not by any fault of the restaurant, it's simply that they aren't that unique). I should have gone up the road to Carrabbas, an Italian chain that I prefer over all others. But I digress. For my appetizer I got a Caesar salad. The romaine was crisp, but lacked any substantial amount of dressing, so it basically just tasted like... lettuce. The croutons were also bland. For my entree I ordered their \"Silano\" brick oven pizza. The crust was nice and crisp. The broccoli and chicken were marinated in something that they did not indicate, and tasted okay. It was supposed to have a creamy cheese sauce, but it must have been lacking much of it, since the pizza overall was very dry. My companion ordered their chicken and steak combo, which looked pretty humdrum as well. I wouldn't recommend this place at all for anyone looking for a unique dining experience, because what you will get is something plain and ordinary. If you are ever on Baltimore Pike in Springfield, Pennsylvania, and want some good Italian, don't stop here, go about a half mile down the road to the Springfield mall and try Carrabbas, you won't be dissapointed.",
"I'm pretty sure everyone has covered the fact that this place is a chain. awesome. ok.\n\nwell, let's be negative first since it's shorter...\nBertucci's pizza makes my stomach want to cave in and devour me. Really, if I eat it, i will be doubled over in a matter of minutes begging for my companion to drive me home asap so i can lock myself in the bathroom. My solution, i don't order the pizza (i'm really smart).\n\nok...the positives...\nI have NEVER received such great/friendly service at a *gasp* CHAIN restaurant before. zombies? Maybe you went there on an off night or something, but my experience has been the exact opposite every single time I've been in there. I've been in during the lunch rush (free salad p.s.) and only had an hour...and they did it with a smile! I've been there for dinner when they were slow and dinner when they were busy and every time I've been greeted and served by a super nice funny person.\n\nThere is a weird thing though...\nEvery single time I go, they give me about 3 baskets of rolls (if you put food on the table, i will eat it, hence me eating the tummy busting pizza more than once) and then, they will bring me a bag packed FULL of rolls and a container of the oil and sometimes even free pasta. Do they do this for other people? I've asked others and they seem shocked. It's really not like I go there that often, maybe once ever 3 or 4 months? I've never had the same server, but they always send me home with a ton of extra food. Perhaps I look homeless or starving...\n\nBut I like this place. I like the people. I love the rolls. Unfortunately they only have 4 beers on tap which is eh, but I'm there to eat....and obviously to act as a one person garbage disposal for all of their leftovers.",
"I've now been there twice. The first time being over a year ago but I walked away happy. This most recent visit was a completely different story...\n\nAfter a 45 minute wait to be seated we were starving. The waitress was pleasant enough but clearly new, which she confirmed rather quickly. It took 10 minutes just to have our basket of bread brought out and another 10 minutes to receive our oil, which I fondly remembered enjoying though this time was inedible. \n\nShortly after we received our bread, a plate of plain pasta was brought out, and not by our waitress. It was what my daughter had ordered though we were confused as to why it was being brought out without our food. The person serving it was as confused as us. We found out a bit later that it was meant for another table. \n\nBy the time we received our own meals I was beyond starving but my spaghetti and meatballs was served without meatballs and the sauce was watery. My husbands lasagna was served with no sauce causing the top layer of noodle to be crunchy and unpleasant. We discussed this with our waitress who said the restaurant was under new ownership and that that was the way it was meant to be. \n\nNeedless to say the entire evening was miserable. Even forgiving the faults of a new waitress, the food was the price of the Olive Garden but the quality was about the worst I've found since moving to the area. We will not be returning.",
"I love this restaurant, not only is the pizza surprisingly refreshing but the chicken tortellini dish is amazing...I always ask for extra sauce or it does get too dry. Last time I went with my boyfriend, we also got the appetizer sampler and everything they offered, wings, bruschetta, fried cheese, etc...omg it's a meal itself! Just add a side salad for each and it would be great to share!",
"Actually that would be 2 1/2 stars. This place is what it is, and that is a generic chain Italianish restaurant. The menu items are tired and boring. Obviously in chain restaurant fashion wanting to cater to the masses of boring Americans. The best thing about this place are the bread rolls they give you upon ordering. The wait staff has always been very good. I have two young kids, so dining out options are kind of limited. Prices are typical of these kinds of places. I must say this. This place beats The Olive Garden hands down.",
"i liked all of the food. i ordered the tuscan chicken wings as the appetizer and they had a nice fresh grilled look and taste. for the main course i had the individual ultimate bertucci's pizza and that was very good. Does not taste like your neighborhood pizza, much better than.",
"Being served cracked glasses to drink out of should have told me to leave in advance. The restaurant was not even forty percent crowded, yet it took forty-five minutes to receive our meals. My sister's, brother's and mother's chicken parmigiana was not made correctly. I asked for little ricotta cheese on my pepperoni calzone, instead, it was smothered with ricotta cheese, not to mention it was the size of two and a half hot pockets melted together. I called for the manager, whom immediately apologized and stated he would have a pepperoni pizza cooked ASAP, which I asked for instead of another makeshift hot pocket. ASAP means twenty minutes to them. To top it off, they baked the pepperonis inside the cheese. They reduced the bill a notable portion, reflecting, as the manager stated, the poor quality of everything."

"Stopped in on opening day. Ordered an iced coffee, but informed they could only do an Americano at the moment. Fine by me. Was asked if I needed room for cream (I did) & they left the perfect amount. It seemed they had a head barista & she was training 2 others. Then the owner walked over & introduced himself, I like that touch. The price was right around $2.25? Just about the same price as a tall iced coffee at Starbucks & this one was larger. Placed a buck in their fairly full tip jar & headed to work. I didn't have a taste until I got to work & added my stevia & cream. It was outstanding! Great brew, no burned beans, just delicious flavor. \nI'll be a regular, as I live in the neighborhood and have been waiting for over 10 years for someone to bring a coffee shop to the neighborhood.",
"I was really excited to finally have the time to check this place out. When my significant other and arrived the barista was very friendly and immediately told us where the menus are, where we order, and where we can sit. We both very much appreciated this. \n I had the Cafe Mocha and a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a English muffin. The cafe mocha was perfect and kept me buzzing for hours, and the sandwich tasted just like home, yum! \n My bf had the Chai tea latte and a coffee cake muffin with lemon drizzle. The chai tea tasted just like fall (if fall had a \"taste\"). The coffee cake muffin is literally the best I've ever tasted. The texture was beyond perfect, the lemon drizzle on top is a perfect addition to coffee cake, and it was still warm! We were very pleased to discover they bake everything there. \n I enjoyed it so much I went back the following morning to get myself another cafe mocha and coffee cake muffin. I'm going to need them to come off the recipe.",
"Homemade soups and sandwiches with fresh salads. Wonderful coffee bar. Daily lunch specials. Today I had a homemade tuna salad on toasted rye with the tastiest potato salad ever. Followed by a white pumpkin cake that the in house baker created and the coffee of the day, vanilla latte.",
"Great local coffee shop with affordable drinks, deliscious food, and a relaxed atmosphere. The trendy yet simple decor keeps it modern without being overwhelming.",
"Stopped by right after they opened and liked the place. Not thrilled with the setup since I have trouble walking and they only have stools on the lower level. You have to go up a step to get a table with chairs and I did. They brought my coffee so I did not have to carry it with my cane. The also brought my order which was biscuits and gravy. It was laden with sausage and tasted great. Only problem is I should have ordered half. Staff was friendly and new. They showed marked improvement by my second visit where I sat outside and had coffee and breakfast sandwich. I really like the place and will return. They have street parking as posted and parking in the rear of the building. Great addition to the area.",
"So excited to have a new coffee shop & cafe in the area. Stopped in for some breakfast and was immediately greeted by the friendly baristas who explained the ordering process and let me choose my seat.\n\nGreat seating areas for singles or larger groups. Menu is small but appetizing. I had the eggs benedict with country potatoes and enjoyed every bite. Couldn't even finish, but wished I could. Had a regular coffee, but will try one of their specialty coffees next time...and yes, there will definitely be a next time.\n\nBest part of this cute and quaint shop opening is that it replaced a very scary looking dive bar. Quite an improvement for the Garfield Park area!",
"Our food here was soooo good. We had the huevos, the Cobb salad w/chicken added and homemade balsamic and the pulled pork sandwich. We will go back! The girls at the front counter seemed \"new\" to the business of customer service. But there were 2 guys that delivered our food...that I think also made it, that were so gracious and kind. We love this place!!!! GO! SOON! And then go over to the Garfield Park conservatory (for $1 entrance) and sunken gardens, and walk it off.",
"Great atmosphere. Tables for eating and cozy chairs for relaxing. We just stopped in for coffee (I liked my Latte), but the sweet treats looked tempting. I will definitely go back for breakfast. The staff was friendly and responsive.",
"Great place! Atmosphere and coffee are the perfect combo in this gem! The food could use some work but definitely will be back.",
"What a delightful addition to the neighborhood! The coffee drinks are top-notch, affordable, and come with very friendly service. This is a great place to spend an afternoon, sipping chai and working. Fast wifi, comfy chairs, big sunny windows. The salad/sandwich/soup lunch combos are great. The mixed greens on the salad were the good kind, not crummy iceberg lettuce. I wasn't impressed with the vegetarian options, but I hope that as they grow and the menu offerings stabilize, that they'll offer a little more in that area. I recommend a black bean burger :)\n \nFor visitors: the Cafe is a very convenient stop off the highway. There aren't really any cool shops within walking distance, but the Garfield Park Conservatory is an amazing hidden gem, and just across the street."

"I can't say how amazing this place is! I've only been once, but I'll definitely be back. The ambiance is great, and the service is amazing. \n\nI ordered one of the grilled wraps (the name of it was Diablo something or other...all I can remember is that it was spicy), and it was delicious. Their chips and salsa were really good, too. \n\nOn the way out, I grabbed a cookie (white chocolate macadamia), and it was also tasty. \n\nTheir menu is HUGE, and they have a breakfast selection, too. And free wi-fi!",
"Have never had anything I didn't love here. We last came on a Sunday evening, and their special is that after 5 all items are $5! Great deal, good food, fast service.",
"Let me start by saying that I've been to Camille's before and have thoroughly enjoyed those previous experiences. Not only does Camille's offer an extremely bright, calm, relaxing atmosphere but past experiences with the food have been exceptional as well. \n\nPerhaps today was an off day. \n\nI came in for a quick lunch and ordered a Chicken California Wrap and a soda. In the time it took me to leave the register and make it down to the end of the prep area, less than 3 feet away, EVEN before I could pour a soda for myself my wrap was finished. \n\nMy surprise must have been palpable because the serving girl said something to the effect of 'fast huh?' \n\n\"Yes....TOO fast...\" was my mental reply. \n\nIt was SUSPICIOUSLY fast. My first impulse was to ask if it had been pre-made or (unthinkably so!) that it was a cast-off order left by another customer and had been waiting an indeterminate time for me to arrive and claim it! \n\nBut I was polite and said nothing, scolding myself for not being thankful for the superhuman service. Until I bit into the sad thing. \n\nThere was no particular component of the wrap that I could blame for what I tasted, but the the sense I got from the whole was \"QuikTrip Wrap.\" Not bad, but DEFINITELY not worth nearly $10. \n\nWelcome to Blandsville! Population: Me.\n\nTo top it off, my tortilla chips were stale. The highlight of the meal was sitting in the pleasant atmosphere, drinking an orange Fanta and eating the salsa that came with the chips. \n\nNeedless to say it was very disappointing.",
"After making a trip to Whole Foods and other stores around, I decided to go to a place that I had looked up to possibly grab lunch with a friend. I wanted something with like a Panera feel but also somewhere I have never been. After reading Andrew M's review though I was a bit skeptical. We decided to go and it was around 2 o'clock (the middle of the day) and they were cleaning up everything... I thought this was a bit odd as the door says they dont close until 9pm but just thought whatever. When we ordered our panini and our wrap... it tool almost 20 minutes for us to get our food... This was a bit riduculous as my friend and I were the only ones in the entire place. I am assuming this was due to the cleaning of all of the grills... which I am still unsure of why it was done in the first place. I am also assuming that they have a large lunch rush because at 2 there still looked like the tables had not been cleaned since noon when their lunch crowd had left..Along with the door and windows having finger prints all over them. \n\nThe decor in the cafe was great. I really loved the mint green, yellow, and oranges. This gave a great feel for the neighborhood... if you dont look at the windows of course. \n\nMy sandwich was ok...I got the Napa Vally Panini and I am still unsure today if I liked it or not.\nOverall I would say this is an OK place but I would much rather go to the Bread Co. or even Subway.",
"I went to Camille's with a friend today and my first impression was \"Wow, why is this place so empty?\" We were afraid it might not be any good.\n\nThe immediate vibe is St. Louis Bread Company Goes to California. Sleek but cozy. The real similarities to Bread Company are all surface: they have sandwiches and salads and you order at one end and get a buzzer and pick up your food when the buzzer goes off.\n\nBut the real similarities end there.\n\nThe menu is refreshing and varied, and includes the largest selection of wraps I've seen anywhere. Hot, cold, spicy, veggie, you name it, they can probably wrap it in a tortilla for you. After much debate, I chose the Chicken California Wrap (which was fantastic), although I am determined to go back soon and try the Tex Mex Club and Hail Caesar wraps as well.\n\nCamille's also offers a variety of salads (my friend enjoyed the Bangkok Thai salad), hot and cold sandwiches, and flatbread pizzas. The flavor combinations are unique and quite refreshing when I think about how long I've been eating roast beef on Asiago bagels.\n\nNothing on the menu is over $7.59, and everything comes with chips and salsa. There are a number of flavored teas and smoothies as well as fountain drinks and coffee.\n\nCamille's also does catering, and I'll write a separate review for that when I've tried them for a work meeting.\n\nOh no, NOTHING is wrong with Camille's just because it's a little empty. The problem is that people obviously haven't tried it yet.",
"My fiancee enjoys Camille's far more than I do, so we've been there a handful of times, and every time I come away with feeling like we should have gone somewhere else--even to the Jimmy John's next door. \n\nI don't consider myself to be a guy who likes much in the way of condiments or excess vegetables on a sandwich, and I very much appreciate when a place doesn't get too fancy, or at least has the option of getting a plain wrap (not spinach or sun-dried tomato or jalapeno) with chicken and then some lettuce, tomatoes or cucumbers--not exactly earth-shattering ingredients. I've always hemmed and hawed over what to order at Camille's, not because of the \"everything looks so good\" dilemma, but because the ingredients in their sandwiches seem to go in different directions, it's more a case of \"how do I want to confuse my taste buds today?\"\n\nThe problem I have with Camille's is that I don't get the sense they have a specialty. There's nothing discerning one wrap from another in a significant way, save for one is spicy, one is vegetarian, one has chipotle mayo, etc. I've opted for the pizza a few times, which takes about 10 mins from the time they take it out of the freezer and put it into a toaster oven. \n\nI like that they serve sandwiches with tortilla chips and salsa that exceeded my expectations, and I'm always a fan of places that have the soda fountain on the customer side of the counter. \n\nIf I was needing to kill a few hours with free Wi-Fi and Bread Co. (Panera) wasn't nearby, I'd probably have a use for Camille's, but there's nothing on their menu that I can't get somewhere else in the area at a higher quality, not to mention probably at a cheaper price. I continually get the sense that Camille's caters to people who want a Starbucks with a full menu.",
"This is a chain restaurant, only known to about 15+ states. Coffee, bakery muffins/bagels/cakes/etc, flatbread pizzas, wraps, sandwiches with salsa on the side, and soups among other things are on the menu.\n\nI haven't had anything I didn't like here. The paninis are tasty and quite filling and come with a side of tortilla chips and salsa that are a very welcome side item over potato chips. I have also tried the Thai Chicken flatbread pizza, which was really good. The portions are decent enough, I couldn't finish either of these in one sitting and was able to make a nice 2nd meal or snack out of the left-overs.",
"Decent wraps if you need something quick (i.e. lunch break). I haven't tried any of their menu items besides their wraps. Sometimes I feel like it's not worth the calories listed on the nutrition menu, but desperate times call for desperate measures.",
"Bottom Line: Good *and* healthy food, helpful staff, nice place for \"fast\" food.\n\n*Do not let the empty cafe fool you! This place is worth the stop. Just order wisely, if you have to grab something quick and go.\n\n*Also, entrees after 5pm are $5, as of this writing.\n\nFood:\nI ordered two items. The \"Paris Bistro Hot Wrap\" and \"The Veganini\". \n\n\"Paris Bistro Hot Wrap\" - First impression, \"that's it?\" It is smaller than I hoped. It is packed with really good things though. Ham, brie, and green apple slices on a sandwich, which was quite good. \n\n\"The Veganini\" - It took a little while to \"grill\" the eggplant, but I wasn't in a hurry. The wait was worth it. I will warn you that the sandwich should be eaten quickly as the bread got soggy quick. The feta and red peppers with the eggplant really give this sandwich great flavor.\n\nThis is a good place to go, as far as chains go. i am pulling for this place as I think finding healthy, good-tasting food in Saint Louis County can be a challenge.",
"Get the Thai Chicken flatbread pizza. It is actually pretty awesome, coming from a person who doesn't usually order this type of thing at all!"

"Soul food. Plain and simple. I've been here a few times and it might be the best soul food in the City. The restaurant is set up cafeteria style that allows you to eat in or take it to go. The menu rotates as far as the entrées go, but most of the sides are typical soul food side dishes. On my last visit I had the Neck Bones. These were smoked pork neck bones, served with greens. I also got some macaroni and cheese and yams on the side. I topped it off with some \"hot water cornbread\", which is more like a pancake than the Jiffy cornbread that so many of us are used to. \n\nThe food was great. The prices have gone up a bit since a recent remodel, but are still very reasonable. The servers seemed a bit gruff, but I have come to expect that at many soul food restaurants. \n\nDiners Delight is one of the oldest continuously running restaurants in the area and I can see why. It's no frills but simple soul food goodness.",
"After reading Tracey's rave review for this place, I had to stop by last night to give it a try. It's been on my to-go list for a while now and last night I was feeling kinda \"blah\" so I decided soul food might be the answer to my problems....food therapy, mmmm the best kind of therapy (cheaper than paying a shrink too, if you're eating at Diner's Delight.)\n\nIt was about 7:30pm or so by the time we got there and some of the food was already sold out. Thankfully they still had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese. Those were the three things I really, really wanted to try. Oh yeah, and gravy/cornbread as well! They have a menu that changes every day but the one common item on the menu for every day is fried chicken, and thank god for that. I love their fried chicken. \n\nMore specifically, the fried chicken had a really crispy breading which was seasoned with some type of spice blend. I have no idea what was in it, but it was magical. Sweet, salty, and a hint of something else....? The chicken inside (I had white meat breast with the wing... the dark meat with the leg is slightly cheaper, FYI) was really juicy and not dried out at all. It had a great flavor. Because we ended up stopping by another place on our way home, my food wasn't really hot or even warm anymore by the time I ate it...but like Tracey W. mentioned, it didn't matter! I could have taken the time to heat it up but I was so starved that I didn't care. And it didn't even matter. STILL GOOD even cold! \n\nThe mac n cheese was kind of a disappointment for me but maybe that's because I prefer my noodles a bit more...firm? It tasted \"OK\" but wasn't earth-shatteringly good but it somehow still \"went\" with the rest of the food I got if that makes any sense at all.... As in, it wasn't too rich and it wasn't too heavy/sickening to eat (like the Shaved Duck's...still good though) but that was probably a good thing because the mashed potatoes were very heavy. Not sure if I would get the mac n cheese again right off the bat simply because there are still other side I want to try like the mashed yams/sweet potatoes.\n\nThe potatoes had a nice creaminess about them without screaming \"we were made with only heavy cream and lots of butter!\" (But maybe they were?! Gasp!) They were smooth and had some other flavor to them which I cannot describe....as if they were cooked in the same vessel which cooked meat or a vegetable. Or maybe it was just seasoning? Who knows. Either way these were some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten in my life and I liked that I didn't feel ultra ill after eating them. I could only finish about 1/2 of the serving they gave me though, btw. SO FILLING!\n\nThe gravy was SO freaking amazing. It had a rich, savory, hearty,....meatyyyy flavor to it. It went perfectly with the mashed potatoes and chicken. There was a chunk of meat in the gravy so I suspect it came from the porkchops that were also available that night. (Sooo on my list of what to try next from D.D.)\n\nThe corn bread was like a little pancake! Such an unusual way of making cornbread but I really liked it! Makes it easier to eat in the car on the ride home, that's for sure. It was a tiny bit dry but not sure if that's standard or if it had been dry from sitting out all day. \n\nService was great too, btw. The guy helping me out was younger and really nice. He accidentally under-charged me for the white meat I got and I told him I'd pay the correct amount but he said no worries since he already punched it in the register. He handed both Sean and I pens, business cards, and menus and told us to not be strangers. My entire meal was less than $8 which was an incredible price considering I could have only eaten that whole thing for my only meal in one day and not been hungry at all for anything else because it was so filling!\n\nOh man, Diner's Delight.....y u so good?! I am already plotting (yes, plotting) my next trip to this place because I can't stop thinking about it. That's how good it was. I am scared to imagine how many calories I ate last night but now I know that one meal from this place is so filling (and cheap!) that I could eat here once a day and not have to ever eat again for the entire rest of the day. It's like a one-stop calorie intake/feeling of fullness for me, lol! Oh yeeeah!",
"If Sweetie Pie's is too busy for you and you want something quick, but homemade and delish, then go to Diner's Delight. When I first started working on the southwest end of Downtown St. Louis, I was introduced to this place and back then it was was a hole in the wall. Well 10+ years later and it has been remodeled and is very welcoming. The plus is that the food is still down home, southern, soul food--straight no chaser. I have Thanksgiving all over again on the days they have turkey and cornbread dressing. The fried chicken, cabbage, candied yams and cornbread cakes are good too. Whatever you don't feel like cooking for Thanksgiving, you can order a big pan of it from them and take it on home. Diner's Delight is home-cooked food, fast and inexpensive.",
"If my mom, grandma, and a host of my Mississippi cousins opened a restaurant, it would be Diner's Delight. Seriously....it's a taste of home, in South City. I generally hit them up for dinner on Sundays, right before the after church rush starts. They stock all that stuff that you can't get at other so-called down home restaurants-oxtails, chicken & dumplings, neckbones, dressing everyday-love it. Teddy & the rest of the staff make it a point to make sure you enjoy your visit, AND don't leave hungry. Great atmosphere, friendly clientele (me included!), and soul food at a reasonable price...my go-to spot, since Delmonico's closed their doors.",
"FREE Wi-Fi is available at Diner's Delight and that is the most positive point about this diner. With the majority of the reviews on Yelp being 5 Stars, I was expecting to be blown away with some down home cooking. Instead, I was served food that made me wish I was bulimic. All the food was overcooked and flavorless. Yet it left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth. I couldn't get home fast enough to brush my teeth to rid myself of the terrible taste in my mouth. \n\nWe had two Chicken Dinners with two sides, two ice teas and 1 Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream. Total cost of lunch $27 with tip. No alcohol, poor service and bad food. I think I've been robbed. I would not recommend this place to a homeless person.",
"When I don't feel like cooking...this is where you'll find me!\n\nThere baked chicken, smothered pork chops, smothered chicken and cornbread pancakes are good. The star of the line is the fried chicken have them put some gravy on it and you've got yourself a \"Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!\"",
"Very solid soul food when I don't feel like cooking on Sunday. I would give 5 stars but corn bread is never hot and I wish Mac and cheese didn't seem watered down. Service always great. Don't wait in that other line folks.",
"Diner's Delight has amazing fried chicken and I love fried chicken.\n\nThey give you a huge portion of mashed potatoes, which are good, but not the best I've ever eaten. However, let's talk about the fried chicken again. You have to go for the Fried Chicken!\n\nThey also have Ox Tail Tuesdays. The beef is extremely tender from the ox tails. The gravy with the ox tail is also mouth-watering good.\n\nJust try every poultry and meat at Diner's Delight and you will be very satisfied! Excellent Soul Food overall!",
"Let me start by saying that Diner's Delight has some of the best fried chicken I've ever tasted!\n\nI make it a point to go here at least once a week to get the fried chicken wing box with yams and cabbage. The food is always hot and fresh and the owners are so friendly...it feels like you're eating at someone's home. Definitely comfort food.",
"The service was good. Nothing looked good, but I tried it anyway. Mac & cheese was runny & flavorless. The dressing was flavorless, and the fried chicken was dry, overcooked and cold."

"Man....I hate to do this, especially since it's a small mom and pop but, here goes:\n- Successful restaurants make most of their product from scratch....not food service crap served cold.\n- If you're going to reheat that crap, heat it. Nothing worse then serving cold food.\n- If you're going to charge me for items, let's make sure I get them. Missed both bread and bacon.\n- Paper plates and plastic spoon and knife.....really?\n- Would be nice to refill the water \n- NEVER EVER make fun of a tip that another customer leaves. Maybe that's all it was worth!!\n- Sorry, but if you're known for poboys , make a good one!!\n\nWell... At least the water was good!!",
"Quick weekend get away. Cute little mom and pop spot with a fantastic red head waitress. She was a breath of fresh air and highly attentive. Good food. Great service. What else could you ask for. Definite go to spot when in town!",
"Delicious!!! And didn't have to wait 3 hours for breakfast!! And mine was hot!! Great small little place with lots of NOLA character. Definitely will be back! Eaten here twice once for lunch and once for breakfast. I judge by the roast beef poboys and it was delicious! The breakfast sandwich was equally as good. I see they do crawfish boils and that will be the next NOLA test!",
"It's one of the smaller places little bit off the populated area.\nKeysey our server was wery friendly.\nThere is no druft beers available only bottles.\nFood was little too specific for my taste and i didn't enjoy it so much. There is many more better places sround area so i was surprised that price of food was not any bit lower then other places.",
"New business with excellent food and drinks, with a great staff creating a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast grilled shimp omelette is one of the best I've had ever. Fresh shrimp and eggs make all the difference. Our new go-to place in Nola.",
"I was staying at the Intercontinental and this place caught my eye. The cook told me to try it and I'm so glad that I did. My friend is from Louisiana and he loved the boudin balls. Everything I had was delicious and the prices were great. I wish I could bring this place back home with me!",
"I came in for dinner and had the blackened chicken poboy at the bartender/waitresses suggestion. It was delicious! After taking a few bites the chef insisted I try the dipping sauce that was on the plate, I'm sure glad he did, that sauce was so good I think I'd enjoy eating a bowl of dirt with that sauce on it. I enjoyed the meal so much I came back the next morning for breakfast. I had the muffaleta omelette which was also really really good. \n\nService was polite, friendly, and fast. It was clear both times I came in that both groups of people enjoyed what they were doing and took pride in the food and drinks they served. \n\nEat here, seriously, just do it!!!",
"Look at my pictures and you will see why this is one star. They were really busy at 9 pm and seemed to cater to the bar patrons and not concerned at all with the people sitting at tables not buying drinks. Shrimp po boy 9.99 for hard bread and 8 small shrimp. We came because it was very close to our hotel. Tourist trap? I sent my food back and the server was apologetic and offered a free drink but I declined. Too expensive, not enough food. Not to mention they brought out 3 out of four entrees and I had to go remind them five minutes later that we were still waiting on it. It was sitting there just waiting to be delivered.",
"Food is definitely good. Blackened Chicken plate or poboy is a good choice. The shrimp wrap is another real good option. I heard rumors of a specialty Bloody Mary coming soon..",
"Excellent food, excellent service!! Brand new place with a great vibe! Jeff and his staff are amazing. Ask for Casey, she will take care of you!"

"Very basic menu of tacos, burritos, and salads made fresh to order in front of you. You place your order and the tacos/burrito is stuffed with your choice of ingredients (meats, rice, vegetables, sour cream, salsa, & sauces) right down the line to the register. The large burritos are in the $6-$7 range. Chips & Salsa are additional. For the most part the burritos are very filling and taste decent, but just be careful about the salsas here. I had the tomatillo green chili (supposedly medium) in my burrito, and it actually tasted very hot and spicy. The service here is quick right down the line!\n\nhttp://www.chipotle.com",
"There is one other Chipotle near Citrus Park mall, I prefer this one due to its fresher taste and better service. I visit here multiple times a month and am always satisfied. Carnitas burrito with every topping available and its good for 2 meals.",
"Chipotle is one of my favorite \"burrito\" joints (similar competition being Moe's, Qdoba, etc.). The burritos are always filling!",
"This is the second time I've this location and it still sucks. The people that work there has one speed and it's SLOW. First time I tried the burrito and it had so much rice that I couldn't even taste any meat. Today I tried the tacos. Let's say the meat was luke warm, the hot sauce was \"mild \",guacamole was bland, and the lettuce looked awful. The genius behind the counter wrapped all the tacos together in aluminum foil so when I unwrapped the foil all the tacos were stuck together and also made the tortillas soggy. But I must say the chips were good!!! Gave this place 2 chances and both times it was awful, won't be a third!!!",
"It was pouring rain on a Sunday night, and I wasn't in the mood to go anywhere fancy for dinner. Chipotle is right up the road from me, and the idea of some quick Mexican food sounded like a plan.\n\nUnfortunately the word \"quick\" does not seem to be in the vocabulary of the staff as they were busy conversing about their weekend conquests and could have cared less about the line of people standing on the other side of the counter. This was not shaping up to be a positive dining experience.\n\nI ordered a steak burrito bowl, brown rice, pinto beans, heavy on the veggies, medium hot salsa, and no sour cream. I didn't think that was a particularly difficult order, but it took two guys about ten minutes to figure out how to assemble the bowl, and then another 15 minutes for the lady behind the register to get me checked out. By the time they were done clowning around the food was cold and unappetizing.\n\nMost of the Chipotle Mexican Grills are generally pretty good for Mexican fast food, but these clowns were pathetically awful. Next time I'll pick a different place for a quick dinner.",
"Love this place! Food is so fresh there is nothing to feel guilty about. The barbacoa is my absolute favorite (shredded beef). I can order the kids' taco kit w/ drink and chips for $4.55 and be full for hours. When I order the bowl, it is usually 3 meals.\n\nHighly recommend it. Only warning is regarding the sauces: even mild can be hot. Careful with corn salsa and pico for the same reasons.",
"Burrito bowl with brown rice! The place needs to be kept in cleaner condition.",
"Chipotle is my go-to for healthy fast food. The burrito bowl is my favorite and I (usually) save half for later. Pair it with some of their awesome guacamole and chips, and I'm good to go. The food is fresh and has great flavor (the cilantro-lime rice is so good!) and the chips are even good on their own. Don't be scared away by a long line; these people know what they're doing and get you out the door in record time!",
"Delish options if you're looking for great low carb options in the Tampa Bay area. Fast, healthy, easy!",
"This place never lets me down. Usually pretty busy but the line moves quickly.\n\nSteak bowl is delicious with some mild salsa, corn, cheese, black beans, and white rice.\n\nYou can also order online and cut the line when ya go to pickup."

"A cute gem added to our neighborhood of beer bars! It was crazy busy on their second night open, but it was worth lingering to get a seat at the bar. My date and I had 2 glasses of draft wine (a concept I love) a cab-merlot and a rosé. Also shared an order of Brillat-Savarin cheese which was at its peak of ripeness. For $7, I thought it was the perfect size. It's was a pretty big wedge (see photo). The owners were there - wife was at the bar and running food, while her husband was keeping an eye on everything and mingling with guests. I think they have really scored on this collaboration!",
"Nice selection of wines along with some special beers and cocktails. Also yummy meats and cheeses. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders offer a casual and inviting experience perfect for wine lovers and novices alike.",
"Atmosphere cool, location cool, Price NOT cool.\n$12.50 for a glass of red, it's $18.00 for the bottle. I get it, it's \"Fishtown now\" but these ppl forgot what it was like to come down here as a kid or even grow up in the surrounding neighborhoods. It's a real shame you can't get a deal on a glass of wine/beer in the old barrio. This place is way to uppity for me, support the old school places in the neighborhood that remembers what it's like to grow up in Philly. Btw, I saw the staff sample wine and try to describe it, it's a fucken joke. The wine sommelier at Joe Canals puts them to shame. No spitoon, and three tools/wanna be hippsters trying to find a common taste to denote. This place is a joke of a wine bar. Save your money....\nOne and DONE.",
"My favorite place for a drink in the neighborhood. Best staff, best wines,say hi to Mary if you stop by!",
"Overpriced and snobby atmosphere. One waiter kept going outside to text/smoke instead of paying attention to us. Probably won't go back.",
"Small space, seating isn't super comfortable, poor acoustics. All that would be fine, except the service wasn't great either. My friends and I had all finished a glass of wine or two, and when asked, told the server we weren't ready to order the next round yet. Two minutes later we were given the check and told \"no rush\". We didn't, and the server kept glancing at the bill. After we eventually paid, I stood up to use the restroom, and the server was quick to say goodbye, even though we still weren't leaving just yet. Also, it wasn't busy - plenty of empty seats. So I'm not sure what the rush was. For a wine bar called Social, it didn't seem to encourage leisurely socializing. The wine selection was good, and the two I tried were nice, if a teensy bit pricey. I hope to give this place another shot, if I hear that others haven't had this same disappointing experience.",
"Decent wine selection by the glass. No flights. Food is limited. Selections are specialty meats and cheeses primarily; no \"wine bar\" cuisine you find in more sophisticated bars. Wait staff likes to talk about customers and shift issues behind bar; unprofessional. Drank their \"Tera-a-tete\"... A California red. Very good wine. Over all good place; could be better for price.",
"This place is okay...went here on opening night and the waitstaff weren't exactly welcoming. I got that it was a busy night but it felt awkward figuring out where to sit and then finally sitting at the bar and having to make eye contact in order to be given the menu. Selections are limited and the wines are pricy. I went here a second time just to give it another shot before writing a review. The waitstaff was better. However, I find it hard to justify paying for a $12 glass of wine, when I can go to the Wine and Spirits down the street for a bottle. The food selection is still scant. Root opened up down the street and their wine menu seems better, especially since they also have more food selections. If you're going to charge $9 for draft wine, why not also include a little piece of complementary chocolate or cheese to really create an experience.",
"The only down side is how close it is to my apartment. I love it. Love the wine selection, love the atmosphere, love the small foodie. The people that work there have been nothing but 100% since opening night. Keep up the good work!",
"I really want to love this place but I've been only been twice. Our first visit was really disappointing, but our second was better. The staff behind the bar is pretty friendly and helpful (particularly the female bartender who seems like she owns or manages the place). I like the wine list but it's expensive. I'm in my 30's, am not on a tight budget, frequently splurge on wine at the store, but found the cost per glass to be expensive. The menu is light but everything my husband and I tried was delicious. My biggest gripe was the wait staff. The first time we went our experience was all but ruined by a waitress. She was occupied entertaining a few friends that popped in and was cursing, jumping all over the place, and being incessantly obnoxious. This is the type of behavior you expect at a Fishtown dive bar. But not at a small establishment where you are paying $12 for a glass of wine. The next time we visited she wasn't there and we found the experience to be worth our while! I think Fishtown Social has a lot of potential. But if they're going to cater to crowd's that can afford to and are willing to splurge on their wine (which is amazing by the way), they need to tighten up the professionalism of the waitstaff on the floor."

"Your basic breakfast place with traditional foods. Nothing fancy with plenty of good hot coffee. Moderate pricing.",
"Good food, friendly servers, and the dining area is clean. The food's traditional breakfast fare - a bit like an upscale Courtesy Diner, but some more interesting items on the menu like gyros. Price is very reasonable for what you get.",
"Short and Simple:\nFood - great\nService - sucked\nPrice - reasonable\nService - sucked...oh wait, I said that...well that'd be the only reason I may not rush back. But the food really was good especially for the serving size and the price! They could've gotten a 4 except for our mean waitress who apparently was having the worst day of her life.",
"The food is very good here. And the price is very reasonable but the fruit flies bother you while you eat. I would rate it 4 stars without the bothersome bugs. the fruit flies are gone so i moved it up 4 stars",
"What an enjoyable dining experience! I first had the pleasure of patronizing Break N Egg several months ago; I'm fairly certain they had just opened. My boyfriend's brother is a lawyer who works across the street from the restaurant, and he suggested that me meet up one Saturday morning for a quick breakfast. I'm so glad that we did! This place was delicious, the staff was extremely friendly, the food was tasty, and the prices were great! My boyfriend and I both ate great meals and walked out full... all for around $15.00! \n\nThe food is great. In fact, we returned yesterday with a large group of people, and the food was just as good as it was during our previous visit. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (bacon, eggs, and cheese on a bagel), and a side of oatmeal. My boyfriend also had a breakfast sandwich, but he chose to add hashbrowns instead of oatmeal. Everything was delish!\n\nThe staff is out-of-this-world friendly. Your water glass and coffee cup will never run dry at this place. They are prompt with approaching the table, taking orders, and delivering the food and drinks. I know of some finer restaurants down the street that could seriously benefit from taking lessons on how to provide great service. \n\nNow for the piece-de-la-resistance: it is never crowded. Yes, there have always been lots of people in the restaurant when we've eaten there, but there is never any waiting around for a table and you don't feel as though you're about to get intimate with the people sitting at the table next to you. All of the tables and booths are spaced perfectly. \n\nNext time you're looking for an inexpensive but enjoyable breakfast, run to Break N Egg! You will not regret it.",
"Ended up here after Stratton's Cafe was having issues with the gas and couldn't serve brunch. This place is a hole in the wall. Not sure if they just opened, but everything looks temporary. The walls are bare, the sign is more of a banner, and the tables look like they were taken from my high school's cafeteria. \n\nThe service wasn't terrible, but not great. The food... not a fan. I got the veggie omlette prepared as a skillet. The hash browns were under-cooked and the cheese was left off completely. When I asked for cheese, they sprinkled it on without melting it. \n\nThe server forgot our toast, then forgot butter for the toast. Oh, and she called me \"lady.\" (As in: \"this lady wants cheese on her omlette.\") Not appreciated. When we went to pay the check, they took our money and gave us change out of a strange wad of cash... looked a little sketchy.\n\nI will not be returning. Just not a pleasant experience.",
"Wonderful place to go! I have been here several times since it has been open and will continue to go back! I have had breakfast and lunch and the food is delicious! The service is wonderful! All of the employees are polite, friendly and fast! I will continue to go back to this diner! Keep up the good work!!",
"I am so happy I found this new breakfast spot!!! It is a VERY clean, simple atmosphere to enjoy a fantastic meal in. The servings are huge, the food tastes high-quality and the service is wonderful. I look forward to going back!!!",
"I've tried this place several times. A couple times right after they opened and then once more recently. The recent visit was only attempted with the hope they were able to work out the 'just opened' kinks.\n\nI was flying solo so I chose to sit at the counter. I'm a breakfast guy, I like it simple, so I ordered the eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. While waiting for my order, I noticed miscommunication between the waitress and the cook (who I assume is the owner) on all 3 orders. Great. Sure enough, my eggs came out missing the cheese. In addition, the eggs were overcooked (i.e. dry), the hashbrowns were beyond crispy, bordering on burnt (and they were out of a box) and the bacon was the typical skimpy, limp bacon that you come to expect when eating at a place more worried about cost than quality. I don't want perfection but you can't swing and miss on all three parts of the meal. \n\nAnyways, the last visit was indicative of the other visits. The staff had changed, the cook stayed the same and the overall experience makes you wonder what their striving for with this restaurant. You pay for convenience, not crappy food.",
"We tried Break N Egg this morning for breakfast. Lots of choices on the menu. All low fat and low cal at a diner of course :) Gyro skillets, omelets, pancakes, french toast, yum!!\n\nWe tried the Denver Omelet and Greek Skillet with a pancake on the side. Both very good with friendly service. We'll be back! I was surprised to find out that this diner has been open for over a year and I hadn't heard of it. And with a memorable name like Break N Egg, who wouldn't love this place?!"

"Kids like the mac and cheese here. The west Nashville regulars like the chatty atmosphere. Cheap meat and three for thee.",
"You're much better off at Wendell's if you're a whiskey drinker or if you need a check cashed in a jiffy. If you're a wine drinker, like me, you go in to pick up something quick and cheap. They do have a bargain $5.49 wine bin at the front with some pretty reasonable stuff. In the fridge in the back, there are a few more expensive good selections too. \n\nI like Wendell's though for its down-to-earthiness. The father and daughter team who run the store are always friendly and are only too happy to share tips on the best deals and new arrivals with you. I take pride in supporting those businesses on Charlotte Pike who have weathered out the past fifty years or so and are now dealing with the gentrification of Sylvan Park. Hopefully they'll be around for fifty more.",
"Great place to nurse a hangover. They have good fresh coffee. The place looks like a timewarp of really really bad 1950's decorating that hasn't been touched since 1957, complete with grease from 1957, but in a good way.\n\nWe went early Saturday afternoon and they were still serving breakfast, so if you're looking for a good homecooked breakfast in the afternoon, go here.\n\nThey were simultaneously serving a meat and three menu, which I am going to have to go back and try because everything smelled great. \n\nGood down home cookin'.",
"Walking into Wendell Smith's the first time reminded me of what it would be like for an outsider to walk into the Cheers bar. Everyone seated at the tables around us not only knew the waitstaff by name but could tell you intimate details of their lives. It was very difficult not to eavesdrop into the neighboring conversations. You seat yourself in a variety of booths and tables neatly packed into a space barely able to accommodate them. The waitress took her time getting to us, almost enough to make me feel unwanted. \n\nThe food is very Nashville in the Meat N Three style. I had the chicken and wasn't disappointed. Warning though in case it isn't your thing, it did have the skin on it. The sides were a tad lacking; I found the green beans to be watery, but had no problem with the mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese. It's supposedly a Nashville institution so I would recommend everyone try it once, although I won't make it a must to take a visiting friend.",
"Wendell Smith has an amazing amount of Local color and charm. Its obvious after only a few minutes there that the people who come there come there A LOT. The waitress was friendly and the food was inexpensive but my biggest complaint was that the plate was TOO small for the amount of food that is provided. Since its a \"meat and three\" there is PLENTY of food. My mistake seemed to be in getting the creamed corn. It was put on the plate with my meat and proceeded to ooze its way on over making my BBQ a soggy mess! To further disappoint, the cashier seemed significantly less friendly than the waitress. In the end the entire experience seemed rather average.",
"My husband and I ate here recently and really liked it! Yes, the place is filled with retro pieces of yesteryear, which is why you come to a place like this. The tables are small and packed together, but it adds to the charm. My favorite was the handwritten menu! I had the fried chicken (delish) with great potatoes, \"fried\" corn, and green beans. It was neat and not all over the place like previous reviewers mentioned. Hubby had roast beef, potatoes, greens, and green beans. We both got the corn bread and roll, but next time I will just get rolls. The corn bread was dry for my taste. Loved the bbq sauce too. Will be back again sometime soon :)",
"Pretty good place for the Meat & Three category. The atmosphere is very laid back and has the local feeling that everybody knows everyone and their families. It's just what you expect from a Meat & Three dining experience. \n\nThe fried catfish on Fridays is some of the best I've ever had. The sides are okay but tasted like they had been sitting in the back for awhile.",
"Check the back for Aunt Bee\n\nYou almost expect to see Andy and Barney discussing the finer points of law enforcement in the next booth. Warm small town feel, filling comfort food and banana pudding, what more could you ask? Some items can be a little on the salty side, but for the most part its good southern cooking. Gas up at Goober's filling station and come on down!",
"I just LOVE this place for breakfast. You can get enough food for a large wild beast for about $6.00. It's insane. It tastes so much like home cooking. The biscuits and gravy are wonderful, eggs always cooked right, meat always grilled perfect. The Menu's are hand written. How cool is that! Their coffee is very similar to Waffle House (if you like waffle house coffee). The place has pictures of famous people who have visited. The Diner has been around since the 1950's and the decor hasn't changed much for sure. But the old style home town diner will be perfect for you wether you want a table for 4, or a long counter with stools like \"Mel's Diner\" for a solo visit to eat while reading the morning paper.",
"The quintessential small-town meat and three experience, right smack in the middle of west Nashville.\n\nCrowded, yes. Pray you don't have to sit in a booth unless you are a size 2.\nFancy, no. Your plate might be a little chipped and the busboy's cart might be two feet away from your back. It's OK.\nMacaroni and cheese way better than your mama ever made? Absolutely!\nDaily specials, usually good choices unless you're a health nut. If you don't think that mac & cheese and candied yams count as a vegetable, then you're in the wrong place.\nExceptionally good cornbread muffins, too. - what else could you need?\nAdvice: Go to the bathroom before you leave the office, especially if you're a guy."

"This is an exceptional restaurant... the location is a bit hard to get to as it's not on the main line or street... and outside doesn't look like much, but the decor is very upscale and modern... was for her birthday and she loves Trout... at the time the Belrose had a pecan encrusted Trout dish... excellent!! Although it was a bit pricey, the atmosphere is elegant and food even better... service was excellent as expected... 333 Belrose is as good a place for a date or a romantic evening as it is for a night out with friends... this is a well run establishment and although a pricey menu, it is upscale and well within tolerance for a special evening.\n\nUses Open Table to reserve... way cool.",
"This is a solid four star restaurant. I've eaten here maybe 5 times and every time it has been great. \n\nLocated in a former ranch home, it's easy to miss from the outside. Inside, the decor is sort of funky, with big bright paintings on the walls. it has a small bar with a nice TV if you happen to go during a game. We finished up dinner and had after dinner drinks in the bar watching the end of a baseball game on a couple of occasions. When the weather is nice there is a fantastic patio. \n\nThe service has always been excellent, every time. Friendly hostess, happy and helpful waitstaff. As I said, I've never had a bad meal here - we even brought some of our Boston food snob friends when they were in town for a visit (they have a kid to lug, so going into the city isn't feasible with them) and they loved it, as well. Also, the wine list is decent and very reasonably priced.",
"I don't know what they started putting in the food at Belrose, but whatever it is, it is amazing. We've been patrons for years (party because of geographic convenience) , but in the past few months, every meal we've had has been amazing. The spring and summer salads are great (blending fresh flavors and great textures). The scallops with corn relish is one of the best dishes I've had in a while. The calamari with jalapeños is a great starter. Wine list is impressive. Crowd can be hit or miss, but with a lovely outdoor patio and very impressive food, the crowd is a non-issue.",
"I agree with another reviewer, I have been coming here for many years for business lunches but the quality has really gotten better in the last few months. They have a great outdoor seating area too.",
"We wanted to try something new, in our area.\nSo when I remembered Restaurant.com had a coupon for 333 Belrose I decided that's where we would eat. Then I checked YELP! And people had written good things. So off we went.\n\n I have to say nothing was overtly wrong with our experience, but we do not have to go back there again.\n\nOur waitress although extremely friendly was slow and did not return to the table after our food was served (by the wait staff) to see if everything was alright. In fact we were missing something from our order and when she finally did come by and we asked for it she got it right away. . \nAnd we are not very picky people. Yes really.\n\n\nWe started off with \nCrispy Shrimp and Ginger Springrolls (you get 3 small rolls cut in half so you get 6 pieces) and it came with Asian Slaw. To tell you the truth I liked the slaw better than the springrolls. $11.\n\nAhi Tuna Sashimi and Wakame Salad.- the tuna was very fresh. The Vietnamese clear dipping sauce had a slight citrus? flavor and seemed a little hmmmmm bland, so we used the sauce from the springrolls. This dish was a good value for your money. $13.\n\nThe entrees start at $22 and go up to $28 from the menu.\n\nMy husband had the Sage Cornbread Stuffed Rainbow Trout and it comes with green beans and \"4\" shrimp. This was the best thing about our meal. Very good. The stuffing gave the fish a lot of flavor and the mustard sauce drizzled over the fish just made it mouth watering to look at when it came to the table.\n\nDaughter had the Wild Caught Salmon with baby potatoes and substituted green beans for the braised red cabbage. This was also a very good dish. The salmon had a very nice marinade and the potatoes were very tasty.\n\nI had the Slow Braised Lamb Shank- substituting asparagus for the Brussel Sprouts. Sorry folks I don't do brussel sprouts. You get a very big shank bone. This was just an ok dish I am sorry to say. And I do like lamb shank. The garlic mashed potatoes were very good as was the asparagus.\n\nWe had the individual carrot cake and the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. These WERE good. The carrot cake is basically a nice cupcake with sour cream topping and they drizzled caramel sauce around it, so the sweetness with the slightly salted sour cream top and the not so sweet carrot cake really was good. The chocolate cake was rich and creamy and melted in your mouth.\n\nThe restaurant is off of King of Prussia Road, so you have to be going there to find it.\n\nSadly to say it was an okay experience but we do not have to go back there.",
"I was so excited to try 333 and heard nothing but good reviews from some coworkers. When I got there, though I should have gotten back in my car and drove away. I was with a party of four and we showed up around 11:30 for an early lunch. There was only one other couple seated, but the snotty hostess nearly didn't seat us because we didn't have a reservation. It took an unacceptable amount of time for our server to offer water and menus given how slow it was in there. The food itself is overpriced given how bland and ordinary it is. We had barely started eating our meal when we were practically rushed out by the server. If it had been busy, I could have understood the desire to turn the table quickly, but since we were still only 1 of 2 parties in there, it just came off as rude. We left a minimal tip and vowed to tell everyone we know not to patronize this establishment.",
"This place has never disappointed. The food just keeps getting better and better. The food here ranks among the best in the Philadelphia area. Service is pretty good too. I've always been here for lunch and prices have always been reasonable.",
"Had a really enjoyable date night with my husband here recently. We ordered the calamari which was delicious and really fresh, I had salmon in a red wine reduction and my husband had lamb with polenta. We enjoyed it all...the only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the room was a bit crowded and loud (sitting next to a shrieking harpy probably did not help things either, but that happens sometimes).\n\nBar was pretty crowded but the menu is different there and looks yummy. We'll probably try that next time.",
"I love this place. Not only is the food terrific, the waitstaff are friendly and knowledgeable professionals (unusual these days) and they have a great outdoor patio. \n\nLunch and dinner entrees are unique, hearty, healthy, and delicious. From great fish and steaks to more unique offerings. Lunch offerings include half sandwich and soup to salmon.\n\nYou don't like calamari, think you've had delicious calamari? Try it here. It's lightly breaded and served with sliced jalapenos. Just spicy enough. It used to be served with pumpkin seeds which I loved. I've never had good calamari anywhere but here, I don't know why it is so difficult, I don't know how they do it.\n\nTop that off with very good desserts and rich coffee.\n\nThere's a nice long bar area with TV's for cocktail hour. The restaurant area is divided into 3 sections, each one a bit more quiet than the last, with the first open area getting quite lively. The outside area is fabulous. Lots of sun but plenty of umbrellas. Extremely relaxing. Heaters for when it gets more cool outside.\n\nWine and alcohol selections are very good. Great wines by the glass. It is almost always busy so make a reservation, that includes lunches as well as dinner.",
"Always look forward to a trip to 333 when I am working in KOP and especially so when the weather breaks. Short menu but all the bases are covered. Great patio and 1/2 price wine menu on Thursday nights!!! Usually some good specias and Thursday night was no different a great Rack of Lamb. Have had plenty of great meals here, nothing over the top and incredibly inventive but sometimes that is what I want. Service was a little off that night but all in all another good experience."

"I found the decor and musical selection to be a little cliche and the food to be mediocre. I enjoyed my meal, but this is one of those places where they think that if you put enough melted cheese on it, then it will be good Mexican food. Not so much. I still liked what I had, what little I could taste around the overwhelming amount of cheese. The service was quite acceptable and the atmosphere, while tacky, was still really comfortable. Not where you go if you want good Mexican food, but you could end up in some seriously worse places than this.",
"Matthew's totally right that this place is cliche. Right down to the mural painted on the wall. But they sure do pack them in here. Admittedly, I used to go here, but now will go to the new location near Concord and Nolensville Rd, if I don't feel like straying far from Brentioch.",
"I truly do not understand the rave reviews for Las Palmas. I would have to say that this is the Mexican chain in Nashville that I will actively avoid. I have been to several locations, including this one, and have always been something way beyond disappointed. Actually the last couple of times I've been there, I've had nothing but the most meager expectations, so disappointment doesn't even apply.\n\nIf you like sloppy, tasteless burritos with chicken bones in them, this is your place. The last time I went, I ate tortillas and cheese dip, because I thought that was my safest bet and couldn't possibly be actively disgusting. \n\nThe salsa is o.k., and that's about as far as it goes. Everything else is sloppy and covered in cheap cheese. Las Palmas has won best Mexican in the Nashville Scene's poll a couple of times, and this makes me feel like I'm living in a crazy alternate universe where people have never tasted Mexican food before. I feel it's my duty to let people who go based on recommendations like that know what it's really like.",
"Las Palmas was my high school crush. I used to love and frequent this place back in the day. However I have grown up a little bit and my tastes have changed. I no longer like or appreciate my enchilada sauce to taste like it came straight from a Prego jar. Sorry Las Palmas. I've moved on.",
"Yeah, I'm with Claire on this one. I had tacos al carbon, and if 'al carbon' means that the meat is cooked to an unrecognizable condition then they're named correctly. Considering the burgeoning mexican-american population in Nashville, this is pretty low end fare. Granted I grew up in Albuquerque, home to some of the best (New) Mexican food known to man!",
"Delicious!!!! I have been going here for years and the food is always good. The salsa is some of the best around and the prices can't be beat!!!",
"It looks exactly like a Mexican restaurant, but something is different. They serve all the things a Mexican restaurant would serve, but the food sort of seems like a scaled back version of Mexican food.\n\nIt's tasty, it's served like you would expect, but the taste is off... it's not bad, but it's disconcerting. Last night I had one of the 4 or 5 vegetarian options, it did not taste bad, but it had an underlying sweetness I was not expecting in beans, and a bean and cheese and mushroom burrito.\n\nMy wife ordered a beer that was as big as an adult cat, and I ordered a margarita that came in a glass you could seat a guinea pig in.\n\nI don't have really an excellent standard that I've found to judge Mexican restaurants by... the food was good, the portions were decent, the price was reasonable, and I did not feel regret after eating there.\n\nSo good",
"my first meal in nashville. traditional, huh?\n\nthe lunch margarita was $2.50. two dollars and fifty cents for frozen, flavored tequila goodness that packed a bite. we were all definitely happy post 'ritas.\n\nspecial #5 - chimichanga covered in melted queso and served with rice or beans. i went with beans. did not disappoint.\n\nthe chips are coated with crack and are replaced before you even think you need a fresh basket. the salsa is a harmonious blend of chunk and juice.\n\nmy entire meal was $8.36. the wallet did a happy dance.",
"Four stars. I'm only lacking the fifth star because I actually feel a little bad for giving good ol' Las Palmas such high marks.\n\nThis is your typical Americanized Mexican joint, after all. You know the drill: chips and salsa to start, the cheese dip is white, and every dish is delivered by saying \"hot plate!\" \n\nBut no one can deny it. There's just something about this place. It gets into your blood. And if you skip a week without going... the cravings intensify with every passing day.\n\nIf you're willing to stray from your typical [fill in your combination number of choice here], try the LP Special with Chicken: a bed of rice topped with fajita chicken, onions and peppers topped with the white cheese dip.\n\nUm. Yes, please.\n\nWhat's more, Happy Hour is from 4-8pm Sunday thru Thursday... and they don't mess around. All margaritas are half price and you can seriously get a 32oz mug of Bud Light for $2.05.\n\nAll that aside, you should probably go here just to admire the brilliant mural of an Indian chief holding an Indian maiden (who has fainted... or worse... died!) in his arms. Epic ambiance.",
"Bad customer service. Food is not up to par. Has definitely gone downhill in the last few years. I have tried to give them more opportunities, but I've vowed not to step foot back in that place."

"Stopped in on opening day and enjoyed a delicious lunch with tomato bisque soup and special grilled cheese sandwich. Yum! Club sandwich on multi-grain bread was likewise very tasty. Owner and staff are very friendly and service oriented. Be sure to stop in!",
"This is a true neighborhood restaurant. Small and comfortable with a table set up that invites some interaction with your neighbors. \nService is quick,friendly and efficient -with specials listed on the chalkboard and serve-yourself coffee available as soon as you enter. Environment is warm and comfortable. Seems like prices have gone up a bit since they first opened but the food is quality and the service is excellent. Substitutes allowed on Avocado toast ; the chorizo sausage is kind of spicy.\n\nIt is a fun place to run into people you know from the neighborhood. Plenty of free, convenient parking.",
"Happy to have breakfast in my boyfriend's neighborhood again, as we used to frequent the Patachou that occupied Rad's before. Staff was attentive and could tell something wasn't right as I cut into my omelette. I like my omelettes well done, and this was a tad runny; however, my boyfriend loves runny omelettes/eggs, and he said it looked perfect (he told me to clarify, as he thinks most people do love runny eggs). I explained to our server, and without hesitation, he quickly offered to take it back and cook it longer for me-just the way I like it! It was tasty; however, I realized it was not what I ordered. I ordered an omelette w/peppers, tomato, & bacon. I was eating an omelette w/peppers and sausage. My boyfriend was laughing bc he knows I despise brkfst sausage. At this point, I was so hungry I ate it anyways, and it was smaller sausage chunks, so I didn't mind too much. I was sad tho bc I do love bacon! I will have to try again next time. This was partially why I couldn't leave a 5 star review. My other suggestion would be to acknowledge everyone as they walk in, or have a sign that says \"please seat yourself\"...we were a little confused when we walked in as all servers were busy, so we patiently waited for a server to offer us a seat. Overall, we will be back, as I would like to try an omelette with peppers, tomato, & bacon. My boyfriend wanted me to mention that he really enjoyed their biscuits & gravy.",
"Great food, great location, great price! Ate there for the first time today and it was delicious! I asked about the delicious multi-grain bread and they said it is from Turano's out of Chicago. It was delicious on the BLT sandwich.",
"Visited Rad's this morning and was so impressed! Fresh, delicious, scratch made breakfast plus a super nice self-serve coffee bar. Biscuits and gravy are out of this world and french toast was stellar. Staff was friendly and service was good; we were not rushed like most breakfast joints. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular. Already looking forward to my next visit!",
"Great breakfast spot! We went for the first time this morning for breakfast. Friendly & fast service. Fresh & delicious breakfast foods. Great self service coffee. Cute atmosphere. Our party had pancakes, French toast, biscuits & gravy, an omelette & the avocado toast du jour. All were great and very reasonably priced. Can't wait to come back for lunch next time.",
"Goodness, I had high hopes for this place. It is new, so maybe it's just the new kinks. The bright spot, hot coffee and pleasant servers. \n\nMy chopped salad with salmon was decent but didn't have the avocado as promised. She brought me some. Dressing was good and you could tell it was homemade. Just seemed a little paltry but then again I didn't get the cheese. Hard to mess up eggs and sausage but my hubby thought the scrambled eggs were a little over cooked. I never got the ham and bean soup I ordered so can't comment on that. I thought it was that she didn't hear me order it, but it showed up on the bill. Back to the kinks. \n\n3 stars for the potential but not sure I'd come back anytime soon with all the other breakfast options. But I am intrigued by the veggie gravy and biscuits.",
"Great breakfast place in Carmel , the servers are very friendly , the food is very delicious my favorite food is the French toast ,pancakes ,eggs ,and biscuits & gravy they were very well made . Wonderful atmosphere I will recommend anyone to come and eat here.",
"Excited for these owners. Friendly new breakfast spot for my husband and I. We enjoyed the black bean quesadilla (special) and the reuben sandwich. Both were yummy! Husband commented the reuben could have a little more meat added but was still very tasty. I really enjoyed the quesadilla with the arugula. Loved the taste! The homemade pico was excellent. We each had the coffee and appreciated the serve yourself coffee bar. Service was wonderful! We will be back often. And I plan to enjoy a girlfriends outing there soon. Relaxed atmosphere and you don't feel pressured to rush through your meal.",
"I love this place. Great service, excellent food, and meats from Smoking Goose. I will be back."

"The BEST frozen fruit drink! You can only find it in Tucson and nowhere else. My fave is pina colada and strawberry mix. Mmmmmm!!!",
"Tucsonans know Eegees, Eegees knows Tucsonans, out of towners are a little suspicious of such goodness. My husband's from KY and he's not particularly fond of Eegees, but as someone raised in Tucson, I'm all about it. \n\nAs a child Eegees offers a nice alternative for you and your parents to other fast food joints. You're excited about the the frozen drink (in a variety of flavors), they're excited they don't have to cook. \n\nAs a teen Eegees mixes nicely with your vodka while in a concealing styrofoam cup. \n\nAs an early adult Eegees is again cheap and good and fast. \n\nWhat I'm trying to say is that Eegees is the type of place the grows with you. Isn't that special?\n\nOther things I like about Eegees:\nEegees frozen drink mixed with soda = Eegees fizz\nFries and ranch (note: not Ranch Fries)\nVeggie grinder\nPlain turkey sub with fries on top\nHaving a local place to call your own, it's ok that you don't get it, non-Tucsonans!",
"When i went to school in Tucson, Eegees was a local classic. they have frozen fruit drinks (my favorite is strawberry) that are great in the hot tucson sun. However, having returned 10 years later with slightly more refined taste buds, i found eegee's to still be a treat -- but a less satisfying one. The drink was much syrup than fruit than i remembered. Overall though, for a fast food joint -- it's a good deal -- and it will always be a tucson-only classic.",
"Another Tucson original that just does not deliver good food. Go to a 7-11 get yourself a slurpee and a sandwich somewhere else.",
"I love Eegee's for their icy drinks! I moved away but when I visit Tucson It's on my must do list. I like the Lemon Eegee with real lemon.\n\nBob Campbell",
"OMG I miss Eegees. There is nothing else like it in the country. I spent a lot of my allowance money as kid buying an Eegee Pina Colada. MMMMMMMM. \n\nEach restaurant is different like any chain. Some stores are better than others.",
"I LOVE EEGEES!! Like Campbell B. said...there is NOTHING else like it in the country....\n\nThey specialize in slushie drinks...in fact...you can buy like a whole cooler's worth! lol The Lemon Eegee is the most popular and I recommend, ahem, missing in some Vodka for a truly pleasing Summer bevvie! Great for a party...or a picnic.",
"Yuck!!\n\nNot impressed with Eegee's at ALL.\n\nFirst off, when hiring staff...make sure they are at least educated enough to work a damn register AND converse in English without having to repeat yourself 9 TIMES. \n\nSecond, if you are going to make a sandwich called a \"grinder\" (something i've only found here in AZ) Go easy on the oil....nobody likes a soggy sandwich! \n\nThird......AGAIN TUCSON AGAIN!! PLEASE STOP TELLING ME THAT THE FROZEN DRINKS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!\n\nAll that I experienced out of the stuff is that it was sugar water and ice. No Thank You, I've got Kool-Aid at home.",
"I pretty much have only been there for their drinks. They have really good slushies, which I guess are called eegees. I always go for Lemon, but I wish they had a little more variety for being their special. My favorite flavor is bubblegum, if that's possible.",
"Yum yum yum! I was in Tucson this weekend and went to Eegee's to have a true Tucson experience. The fries are definitely the best in fast food... so yum! And they had Cranberry as the frozen drink flavor of the month, delish. If I'm ever in town again, I'm skipping the sandwich and going right for fries and cranberry goodness :)"

"Taco Bell is Taco Bell. We've all been there and know pretty much what they have to offer. When it comes to fast food chains, this one is probably my favorite. I personally enjoy the crunchwrap supreme or chicken grilled stuff burrito. I also like that it costs so little to fill up.\r\n\r\nOf course, I recognize that eating too much Taco Bell is a bad idea but once in a while I'll throw out logic and just enjoy a tasty, cheap meal.\r\n\r\nOne strike against this particular location is that the parking lot is tiny so if you're dining in during a busy time you'll probably have to park at CVS.",
"i love this taco bell! Never once did they get my order wrong, and the cute boys were always so polite!\n\nWho am I kidding it is just Taco Bell, but if you are a fan this is a good one!",
"It's Taco Bell, same as any other Taco Bell, but they never have a problem substituting beans for beef, as some of the other 'Bells do. Plus, it's handy for lunch. Go early or late, or be prepared to wait a while, even though they move quickly.",
"Taco Bell breakfast is a huge let down in any way. My order was wrong (2 out of 6 items missing). The service was extremely slow. The food I did get was terrible. Dry and chewy and generally gross. When I tried to call to correct my order, they offered free combo meals which I don't want. I will not be back.",
"Came here twice this week & gotten drive thru. They've messed up my order BOTH times. Both times they didn't put quesadilla sauce on my chicken quesadilla. & this last time my soft taco had no lettuce & there were some potatoes in it. I would understand if it was busy, but it wasn't at all. Come on guys, get it together. Probably won't be back for a while.",
"This Taco has been a good one to eat at for years, until recently. Ever since they've added breakfast here, all of the taco shells, including all the Doritos editions, have been terribly stale. I go here a lot hoping to get better food than I did the last time but every time, the taco shells are stale. There was one time a few weeks ago where I went inside and ordered crunchy tacos and they were great. But I did see someone in the back throw out old shells and open new ones. I suggest that this Taco Bell throw out old shells WAY more often. I just can't stand to go to this one anymore and I've been going here since way before it moved to Carmel Drive. PLEASE stop using stale taco shells. I really want to eat here again but I can't as of now.",
"For being a Taco Bell this place is great. The staff are really friendly and the food was made-to-order. I also liked that they called my name when it was ready. The dining room was pretty clean, but the men's bathroom could use some work.",
"Just used their app to order food, worked pretty well as its a lot easier to order food and how you want than when your in drive thru or at the counter.\n\nI live close so was there in 5 mins, still had to wait a bit, not sure if they waited until I had arrived to start.\n\nSo need a change in the appt to tell them when you'll be there",
"Best in the biz! Love ordering on the app. Never had a problem in the two years I've been coming to this location and I'm a frequent eater here (at least twice a week). I love you, Taco Bell!",
"Bad. Was there last night about 9. Should have walked right back out. Staff shenanigans going on, horseplay, trash on the floor. Paid today, won't go back."

"Kimu is one of my wife and I's favorite places to eat around Indianapolis now. We discovered it one day a few months ago and loved the menu. Everything is great, the curries, the sushi (try the Kimu roll), the fried rice...\n\nThe portions are huge and we usually pick a couple things and share. The service is always great. Make sure to try the Burmese tea.",
"A Burmese restaurant in Greenwood. And right next to the Yats, down the street from Thai Spice. Looks like Greenwood is getting some culture. That's what's up!\n\nI discovered the place when I was about to stop in at the Yats for a quick bite. I saw the word \"Pho\" on the window to Kimu and decided to go there instead. I am a huge fan of Pho soups, having spent some time living near the Vietnamese neighborhoods in Orlando. Kimu's stake Pho did not disappoint. It was fresh and filling. Their pickled pork dish was recommended and did not disappoint my taste buds. I also ordered a curry dish with chicken that was so incredibly good because the chicken was perfectly tender. The sushi I ordered, a spicy tuna roll, was not rolled properly and fell apart, but was still tasty. \n\nI have returned to Kimu a few times already and will be back often. In fact, they can at least count on me whenever I need a quick Pho fix.",
"I went here last night as part of the International Supper Club, and I was impressed. I had a cup of Burmese sweet hot tea to start- nicely creamy and spiced, and not sticky sweet. I went with the tofu curry for my entrée, and man, it was so good- chunks of tofu with carrots and potatoes, kinda like a masaman without peanuts in flavor. I never missed the meat in here, and for a carnivore like myself that's a big compliment. We also tried samusas at the table- triangular little bites filled with potatoes and chicken, and maybe peas? It kinda reminded me of my beloved samosas that I crave at the Indian restaurants. I did take off a star because our appetizers all arrived after we'd gotten our entrées, but that's a minor quibble. I'm looking forward to going back and trying their pho.",
"Now, why hasn't a Burmese restaurant opened here sooner? We dined at Kimu last night with some other Yelpers and had a terrific experience. The dining room has maybe 10-12 tables and is fairly plain & nondescript. The menu isn't huge but there are several dishes of different varieties to choose from: curry dishes, fried rice dishes, rice noodle soups and other regional fare. All dinner entrees are very reasonably priced from $7 - $9. We started with a Burmese sweet hot tea which was really tasty - a good blend of tea and, I think, evaporated milk which added just the right amount of sweetness. For our meals we ordered the Chili & Lemongrass (with chicken) and also the Pork with Pickle Mango. We also requested both dishes to be \"spicy/hot\" and we were not disappointed. The chili & lemongrass was a stir fried dish with tofu, onion, chili and a good amount of lemongrass. The vegetables were crisp, the lemongrass wonderful and the sauce was spicy and flavorful. The pork dish was filled with chunks of PORK BELLY that were tender & juicy, slightly carmelized and melted in your mouth. We devoured our meals in record speed because they were just crazy great and addicting. The fried appetizers were really good and all came with a bowl of spicy hot dipping sauce. I forgot to look for a carryout menu but I found a menu online stating that they are open for breakfast 7 days a week. How cool! I definitely want to go back to Kimu soon for breakfast and I must order a Chin Donut. I don't care what it is, it's listed on the menu and I want it.",
"It's true that the menu is pretty straightforward, but most places have far too many choices these days so this is fine. The samusas were tasty, similar to Indian samosas, these were in a crunchy phyllo dough with some ground meat and a spicy dipping sauce. Let them cool first!\n\nThe food did take a while to come out, and did so at quite random intervals. We were with a large group, but one diner had to wait while most of us nearly finished our meals. There was only one server to keep up with the demands and it was also difficult to get our water glasses refilled. On that note, drinks seem to be a fairly limited selection of tea and soft drinks.\n\nEveryone enjoyed their food when it came out. The Chili Lemongrass, which I ordered with Chicken, was about as hot of a dish as I have had at a restaurant. I would have enjoyed it more if it were saucier, was a little dry over my rice. However, it had good flavor and those who had Tofu Curry really enjoyed it, with enough coconut milk flavor but not too much. All in all, a good experience if you have plenty of time and don't mind some heat on your food!",
"Greenwood. The first thing that comes to mind is Burmese. \n\nYep. From here on out... Greenwood & Burmese are inextricably interwoven into the tapestry of my palate, my past and most definitely my dining future. \n\nI am thrilled to see this place invaded a strip mall of my past. I grew up in Greenwood, you see. I worked at Blockbuster in the same strip mall. Then, I fled. Never thinking I'd ever-ever-ever return to Greenwood -- let alone seeking it out for one of my favorite food stylings -- Burmese. \n\nI found out about Burmese at Yamo in SF (God bless you, the gentle women of Yamo). I even had a conversation a few years back when the Myanmar junta was heated that I'd love to bring a peaceful life to any Burmese kitchen ninja here in the States and open a restaurant. \n\nAlas... there has been a major influx of Burmese refugees in Greenwood. Yeah. I know. Sad... but beautiful. As a result, Kimu! \n\nKimu is the stripped down, bare bones strip mall spot with the essentials. Kimu is your go to for curry in Indy, and by that I mean... Kimu has the best curry in Indy. Kimu is your lemongrass fix den. Kimu is the spot that puts \"pork\" on the menu and they really and always mean \"pork belly.\" Kimu is the craziest cup of tea you've ever had: milky, rich, deep, a caffeinated dream of earth. Kimu is your penny pinching eating out option. Kimu is a quiet Saturday afternoon alone with a book and a bowl of their spicy tofu. Kimu is Greenwood 2011. \n\nAnd I am so damn proud to see this little hamlet \"hole-in-the-wall\" smack dab in the middle of everything I ran away from. You could consider me a Greenwood refugee, even. I'm damn glad to go back, any time Greenwood. Thank you Kimu.",
"Stopped here for lunch and had the fried rice dish with shrimp, scallops, crab, and pork. The rice was a little dry and I had to add some soy sauce. It also had only three shrimp and could have used more. There was ample pork and it wasn't bad. A little tough and dry but not bad.\n\nThe service was fine.\n\nOverall, I liked it and would go again but it's not at the top of my list for lunch spots in the area.",
"The Pho was OK. The prices are decent. The service is excellent.",
"Burmese is one of those southeast Asian cuisines that exhibits influences from its surrounding countries. The curries they have here are strongly Thai and are hands down the best in the city. \n\nAnother thing that made me love this place is every dish that said it was pork on the menu came to the table as pork belly (my personal favorite part of the pig). \n\nThe Tofu Kyaw (fried tofu) was also amazing. Great textural dish. \n\nIf your in the mood for Thai, Chinese, Indian or Vietnamese this place can satisfy all of your urges. Go here.",
"I decided to give this place a try after hearing good things about it in Yelp. I ordered Curry Chicken and I would say it is way too much coconut milk in it. If you love coconut milk in your curry, this would be the place you'd like to visit. Coming from Southeast Asia myself, this is not the type of curry I'm used to."

"I don't know why I went here, I absolutely hate corporate restaurants like this. This experience further proved that. \n\nFor appetizers we ordered Queso and Chips and Salsa. Some of the chips were stale and all of them were over salted. The salsa was cheap and flavorless and the Queso was a horrible color and poorly spiced. \n\nFor lunch I had the Chicken Tacos with rice and black beans. The tacos were OK but nothing great. The rice and beans were inedible, stale, and clearly had been sitting in the steam table for quite some time. My brother got the same thing and agreed it was gross. My uncle ordered a Cobb Salad with Grilled chicken and had to send it back. The chicken was so over cooked it was dried all the way through and black on the outside. \n\nAs for service it was no better. The waitress took forever to bring drinks and whenever we needed something it seemed like she was purposely waiting in the back before returning. The place was not busy at all so there truly could be no excuse. \n\nThis lunch reassured me that corporate is another name for crap.",
"Chili's is a corporate type chain, but the at Memorial and Hillsborough Ave has a GREAT staff. They are always very friendly. \n\nI normally always sit at the bar, since the bar serves free chips and salsa. Two for one draft beers, and house margaritas are a bonus as well.\n\nHowever, I'd definitely go for the Presidente Margarita which is their specialty. You can get it flavored with a variety of fruit juices such as strawberry.\n\nYou can't go wrong with their Fajitas either. In fact, I'd say that's one of the things they do better than just about anyone else. It's very consistent, and very tasty. I can't say I've had a bad fajita there from Texas to Tennessee to Florida. I'd add a side of salsa to layer on my fajita if I were you, but then again, that's my taste.\n\nFor lighter fare, if you want fajitas, but without the bulk, ask for a Fajita Pita. It's not on the menu anymore, but they'll still make it if you ask. Perfect for a lunch-sized portion.\n\nFor dessert, I recommend the Molten Lava Cake. It's about 1200 calories of heated chocolate cake and ice cream heaven covered with a Magic Shell type chocolate. Mmm.",
"What happened to Chili's !!!??? I used to love Chili's up in New York. Their food was always good and consistent and their service was great too.\n\nEverything changed since I moved down to Florida. This is the second Chili's location I tried in Florida. The first one in Clearwater was really really bad. This place was not as bad as the one in Clearwater but still not good at all. \n\nThe mango iced tea the waiter recommended me was so light...couldn't taste anything. The beef fajita I used to love came out with such a small portion and it was just miserable looking at it. \n\nAll I can say is that even the same chain restaurants can be totally different depending on their management and quality control.",
"I live close by and whether I order take out or I dine-in the staff if very cordial and treats me like a regular part of the family.",
"How many servings of silverware does it take to get 1 clean fork?? We were at this Chilis where the silverware is wrapped two forks and a knife in a napkin. It took at least 6 sets (that's 12 forks) to find one clean fork.",
"\"Where's my veggieburger?\n- I don't know.\n- I don't know.\nWas that a veggieburger?\nThe sh*t tastes just like meat.\nYou greedy bastard. You ate it!\nWhich one of you f@cks ate my veggieburger?\nThat sh*t's not funny! I am the vegetarian!\"\nGRIDLOCK'D\n\nI have had a few of my veggieburgers stolen here! Technically a black bean burger, this is a pretty good vegetarian option. As far as veggie burgers go, Chili's has probably one of the better ones in the chain restaurant world. The patty holds up well against the toppings, and Chili's has a good selection to choose from. All of there regular burgers can be made with a black bean burger.\n\nHad a chance to visit this location and had the Mushroom Swiss Burger, black bean burger served with sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, mayo, shredded lettuce, tomato and pickle.\n\nSat at the bar for a quick bite on the way out of town, service was great. Two for one Happy Hour made it better!\n\nQuit stealing veggie burgers, that sh*ts really not funny!",
"I had a gift card for here so free food is well, free food. I went here for lunch two separate times. I got the California club and it was alright. Not the best sandwich in the world but it could be a lot worse. I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich and that was much better. Onion strings weren't good but it was free. Wait staff was very nice but I'll go when I get a gift card.",
"I usually really like Chili's but I was a little disappointed when I recently stopped for dinner at this location. Being from Texas, I was excited to order a real southern style chicken fried steak. I know Chili's does not use the frozen processed patties like many of the other places do here in Tampa. When my partner and I got them they were raw in the middle. I normally would send it back but ironically just had a conversation at work about the things that happen at restaurants when people complain about the cook and send their meals back for that extra special ingredient. Instead, I decided to voice my complaint when the waitress came to clear the 2 plates with sections of bloody steak still on them.",
"Went to chilis for lunch, it was busy but not overly packed. The staff was attentive, matter of fact they went out if their way to make sure we were comfortable, food was what you'd expect for chilis so just ok. I got the mango tea which was just plain weird, switched it up for blackberry and that was better!! Overall a good experience.",
"I visited this Chili's recently for a work lunch. The restaurant didn't seem busy at all, yet somehow the server shorted us a water and just couldn't manage to remember to bring it. I think we asked three times. \n\nThe food did come out pretty quickly and everyone seemed happy with their meals. The California Grilled Chicken Flatbread was good."

"Poor policy for children - WOULD NOT let us order for our 11 year old daughter from the kids menu. What's up with that?? Can't 11 year olds get a cheap bowl of mac and cheese anymore? We paid $9.50 for it. We'll never go here again on principle.",
"This place is always good and the service is great. We live nearby and eat here often. If you don't believe it, try to find a parking space!",
"Very poor service. Drinks constantly empty, waiter does not automatically bring refills, you ask & then wait another 5-10 minutes for it. Ice water never came. Had mixed grill, chicken very dry. I would not recommend this place.",
"Been to this OG many times since i only live about 10 min away...the food and the service has always been good....the chicken gnocchi soup is awesome as is the salad abd breadsticks....my fav meal is the chicken marsala....will go again soon",
"Dear Olive Garden,\n\nSorry we haven't seen each other over the past few years. Last time we were together, I told you I needed my space to see others. It wasn't you, it was me.\n\nWhile I've been gone, I've had a string of romances with other Italians. You've always known I'm smitten by their warm embrace with sauces, the sweetness of tomato balanced by spices and herbs, the delicateness of fresh ingredients, and pasta cooked al dente....tough, yet tender, just the way I need it. And some of those affairs were meals of passion, while others left me cold and empty. But as I discovered, I need excitement and I never got that from you. And I'm sorry, but I can't resist variety in my food love life. \n\nBut when I saw you last night, I was reminded why I used to enjoy your company. Just as much as you don't give me excitement, there's something to be said for you just being what you've always been. Let's just tell it like it is. You're convenient. And you're reliable. I call, and you always answer. \n\nI wasn't ready to go any further, so I figured it was best just to take it slow, and see what happens. I decided to just play it safe. And what's safer than your soup, salad and breadsticks?\n\nNow I'll be honest, your salad? The way you grate parmesan reggiano is always a nice touch....so it was all good, but I've had better. And your pasta fagioili? I've always liked your flavor, but this time it just wasn't as hot as it used to be. And is just warm pasta fagioli worth doing at all? I don't think so. And your breadsticks? Ok, I liked them. And honestly, it's probably because I've played around, but I just don't think they're as good as I remember them. I will say the attention you gave me with your service was nice, and I appreciate that.\n\nSo where do we go from here? I really don't know. But you know I'm not one to commit to long-term relationships, so you can forget that. With the time we've invested in each other over the years, it may be worth seeing each other again. So who knows, I'll probably stop by and check in on you sooner or later, and when I do I hope you can give me the excitement I'm looking for. \n\nI really do want to feel the love,\nCiao",
"the food is always consistently good. I like the way they always change up their menu and have some kind of special. Mark our waiter always suggests a great wine pairing with our meal.",
"It's Olive Garden. Like Burger King to McDonald's ... Perkins to Cracker Barrel ... Home Depot to Lowe's. You will never confus the two & will go here but only if the other one isn't close by.",
"I'm sure you have been to Olive Garden so you know what the food tastes like so I will rate the service and cook of the food. I have been to this location several times, every time the waitress has been amazing. They are nice, caring and considerate so I have always tipped well. The cook of the food has been fairly good. I have only had an issue one time, my sons pizza was under cooked. Not only were they nice about it but they made a whole new pizza for him. If you are considering this location, I recommend it.",
"I love their new $9.99 special! Choice if pasta, sauce, and meatballs or shrimp. The best part is the dessert that comes with it!",
"Went tonight for parmesean baked shrimp.....was very bland. Tried their polenta....was covered in sauce....more sauce than polenta and the olives were awful....had to pick them out. Will not be back soon...."

"Very pleasantly surprised by Shogun Sushi. This restaurant recently opened in the strip mall off North Dale Mabry by the Publix and Gamestop. We saw the \"Grand Opening\" sign and after being offput by the long lines and slow service at Sushi Alive (one strip mall over) decided to give this place a try. The decor was surprisingly nice, including a cascading fountain/waterfall effect right when you walk in the front door.\n\nThey were advertising a Monday and Wednesday all-day special involving a long list of different types of sushi rolls (6-8 pieces) for $3 each. We ordered several rolls (spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, spicy scallops), seaweed salad, and some white tuna sashimi ($2.50 for 2 pieces). Service was prompt and the fish was fresh. Portion sizes were generous.\n\nThe menu included an interesting array of fancier rolls, bento boxes, and specials for different nights of the week. We plan to return next week and try more. Recommended.",
"Great food, great service, clean, fast. Tucked away in a strip mall, but definitley a gem. Our new favorite sushi place.",
"Yay for Shogun Sushi! A friend of mine purchased a Groupon for this restaurant. Although in my area, I had never heard of it. I'm always leery of sushi joints. One bad bite of fish and I'm done. However, this couldn't be further from the case. The fish was fresh and the sushi was outstanding. My favorite sushi is Soho North, but this runs a close second. I once loved Sushi Alive but after multiple visits where the fish did not taste fresh, I haven't been back. The atmosphere is very welcoming and stylishly decorated. The service was a slow, but I'm willing to overlook that because it's a new establishment. Also, note that they will tell you the soy sauce on the table is low-sodium, but it most certainly is not. This is a fantastic find tucked away in an \"eh\" strip mall. Try it out!",
"I stumbled upon Shogun Sushi from Groupon and immediately used it after my friend told me she had tried it and thought it amazing. It was literally 5 minutes away from my house so I couldn't lose. \n\nThe place is small but had a nice contemporary atmosphere. At the entrance is a really cool waterfall. Although very nice to look at, if you're sitting in front of it, the reflection from the sun isn't pleasant. Next time I suggest the booths. \n\nThe menu had a nice selection of sushi. They also had some pictures that were helpful to decide. We started off with a Sunamono salad and a sashimi salad. Both were really good. Our server was cute and nice, but he lacked comprehension of what we were saying. We found out he is Chinese and has trouble differentiating the rolls. He brought us a Summer roll instead of the Sunamono. It looked good, but we didn't want to eat it if we were going to be charged for it. \n\nWe finally ordered 2 regular rolls: Salmon and avocado and Eel and avocado, and 2 special rolls: Longly Angel roll ($13.95) and Sweetheart roll ($14.95). I thought the presentation of the dishes were creative, but the Sweetheart was overly priced for the amount of fish in it. It's shaped into little hearts but only come in 8 pieces.\n\nThey have a specials everyday. Monday is $3 on all regular sushi rolls, but because I had a Groupon, they would not honor the Monday Special for me. We also ordered another Salmon and avocado roll (which they put more avocado than salmon, hmm) and a Shrimp tempura roll ($6.95) to-go. Our total bill was about $75 and after the Groupon we ended up paying $40 plus tip. \n\nI'll come back during their weekly specials and happy hour.",
"My family and I are Sushi lovers, so when we went grocery shopping on Sunday, we stopped at Shogun Sushi for lunch. We were the first there, and were showed to our booth quickly. The waitress was much helpful as we hadn't been there before and weren't familiar with their menu. Our eleven year old son and 15 month old baby boy loved the food as much as we did. \n\nEven though the restaurant is small, it's cozy. The service was excellent and the menu was very good, though I have to agree with other reviewers that it seems quite pricey. We stuck to their lunch menu, which included a special buy one get one half price on rolls. \n\nWe were extremely happy with the quality and freshness of the sushi and will definitely go back.",
"One of the best sushi spots in Tampa. We've been twice on a Friday when they offer buy 1 get 1 half off. Cool that there's a sushi spot that actually offers discounts when it's convenient for somebody to dine in. Their specialty is the angel hair sushi. I highly recommend! You normally have to travel to south tampa for this quality and vibe, but not anymore. This north tampa / carrollwood spot is amazing. I highly recommend. Oh, and they have real southern sweet tea!!!",
"So, round two of my Dale Mabry Tour de Sushi...\n\nAs you walk in the first thing you notice is a nice waterfall that separates the door opening from the dining area. The sushi bar is in the back, which is where I headed. Took a seat, the sushi chef, sort of looked up, but was busy in preparation.\n\nFriendly server arrived after a few minutes and took my order - spicy tuna, cucumber roll, one piece of tuna nigiri and two pieces of yellowtail nigiri (for ala cart nigiri, price is per piece). Prices were pretty in line with most sushi spots in Tampa. Tuna and yellowtail were both fresh and had good flavor. Spicy tuna roll was pretty good, no cucumber (which is a good thing, I prefer the purer flavor of the spicy tuna by itself). The cucumber roll is sort of the thing that you order to see if the chef really cares, it is all about the symmetry of the roll. In this case, it was just okay.\n\nNegatives were no one to greet me when I walked in, it took a few minutes for the server to come out and the counter top sushi refrigerator had tons of condensation so I couldn't see the fish. \n\nNot sure about a return visit.",
"Very clean and nice inside. The sushi is pretty good and they have good happy hour specials. The fact that it is in that shopping plaza isn't the most appealing thing from a location standpoint, but the food and service are good.",
"I've never had sushi before, so this was my first experience with a sushi bar. Had the \"Hawaiian Roll\" and it was amazing. Waitress was great, never had an empty glass of water. Chicken fried rice was also great. Great atmosphere with the waterfall and the music was at a nice level. Rays game was also on tv, so I couldn't really ask for more.",
"LOVE THIS PLACE! Found it through groupon, and it is the best sushi place I have been to in the entire Tampa Bay area. Great sushi, entrees, dessert, and appetizers, and for so cheap."

"I never understood why some women prefer food over sex until I went to this place.\n\nThe mecca of food in Indianapolis. This is In-N-Out Burger but on this side of the Mississippi River. Do I have to continue with the review? I can frequently been found driving 30 minutes from my apartment to this place just because it's that damn good (and I'm lazy so you can imagine!). \n\nThe menu is limited to burgers, fries, AMAZING milkshakes, and I believe grilled cheese? You'd have to check out their website. At any rate, I think you get where I'm going with this. \n\nI always get the number 4 (single burger, french fries) and substitute a chocolate milkshake. Just get your tookas up there already!\n\nBe careful though... if you go at lunchtime on a weekend, the place is usually swamped. I usually go after work or sometime like before 11am or after 1pm to avoid the rush.",
"Apparently this place isn't anywhere near as gourmet as In-N-Out (so say my West Coast compadres), but I don't care. Everything is fresh and hot and ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURES. The milkshakes are out of this world. And any place that serves malt vinegar with their French fries is all right by me.",
"Decent burger place with a fun, vintage feel. Favorite here is the chocolate shake, but that's not news to anyone reading the other reviews. I'm thinking it's not that different than Steak 'n Shake, though, other than it has way less on the menu.\n\nNot that many veg heads would go to a joint with \"Steakburger\" in the name, but in case you're one, and you find yourself confused and in their parking lot, just know you'll only be getting a grilled cheese here ... not much else to choose from. Actually...there is nothing else.\n\nBurgers are good, though. I still favor a burger on the grill in my own back yard, but this is a decent option.",
"As close as you can get to In-N-Out without going to the West Coast. Great burgers, great milkshakes.",
"I moved here from Southern CA a couple years back, and have been craving a GOOD burger. \n\nI found this place yesterday, and I have to say that, in my opinion, it's better than In N Out. Way. Something about the sauce on the burgers just did it for me. Granted, I am one of the very few meat eaters that never really got off on In N Out....But, I have had it several times, and this place beats it. \n\nThe inside is clean, the guys that were working were very nice, food came out quickly. There's vinegar for the fries...that in itself gets a couple stars. The drive through was seeming to go very quickly. \nAs a previous reviewer stated, the food looks like the pictures. They're not sloppy, and I can appreciate that. They wrap the burgers half style, and I also dig this. \n\nI don't like the fact that they don't have anything for kids...A single adult sized burger will go to waste on just about any kid under the age of 6. \n\nI did not have the milkshake, but will. Soon!",
"Excellent food. Fast service. And great milk shakes",
"Steakburgers and milkshakes - you're thinking Steak N Shake, right? Well, next time you have that kind of craving, go here instead and experience fresh ingredients and amazing milkshakes. The simplicity of the menu is part of what makes this place so great - when you don't have all these items to throw around behind the scenes, you can focus on your main dish - your burger! The fries are excellent - they're a little brown because of the potatoes or the way they're cooked, but never burnt! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an alternative to fast food.",
"If you have read any of my previous reviews about burger joints, my expectations tend to be fairly high if you boast \"the best burgers in town\" or something similar. I did enjoy these steakburgers of the burgers I've had lately. They were juicy and had all the right toppings and I really liked their dressing as well. What I did not like...the price! I was shocked that for three double cheeseburgers and one fry, I spent almost $20. I guess, if you have a drive thru, and sell ground chuck as your main course, I don't see why I have to pay out the ass for it. But alas, I did and it was good. I will go back....when I'm craving an overpriced, well dressed chunk of cow.",
"Some of the reviewers seem to be making so pretty bold claims about this place, and I'm not really getting it. I mean it was a good burger, but not life-altering by any means. Also the set up of the place totally threw me off. I was expecting diner feel, but it felt more like a Qdoba than a diner. One interesting note for you non-gluten eaters, they do offer a burger with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun.",
"I think that this is a good place if you want a good burger. The fries are decent. I love their strawberry milkshake. It is made using the real strawberry syrup. My friend had a vanilla milkshake which I thought was decent as well."

"If you like \"Little Caesar's\" with extra cheese and extra sauce for twice the value, then this is the pizza for you. Definitely not in my list of favs.",
"The good: Short drive from Fishhawk Ranch, convenient online ordering with plenty of coupons.\nThe bad: The pizza. Just sopping with grease. I'm surprised the cardboard container stayed together for the 8 minute drive home. I could feel my arteries harden with every bite. What good is a convenient location and coupons when the food stinks?\n\nThe quest for decent Litha-area pizza continues. I'll drive the extra mile and stick with Olde Town Pizzeria for now.",
"Best pizza we found in Fla. 8- corner pizza is fab",
"We tried the Brandon location. Horrible salty,greasy, cardboard thin crust pizza,rubbery wings. I wish I'd seen the reviews sooner. My bad.",
"The pizza here is great as long as you do not stray from the recommendations of online reviews. \n\nThere \"regular\" thin crust / round pizza is disgusting. I'd put it below the $5 Little Ceasar / CiCi's cheese crusted cardboard.\n\nHowever, if you go with the 8 corner / square deep dish pizza you won't be disappointed. The toppings are fresh and \"chunky\" cut and the meats are seasoned correctly.",
"Best \"Take out\" style Pizza. Good sauce toppings are fresh. Had the all meaty / Hawaiian split. I am usually not a fan of pepperoni on account of it being greasy usually. The pepperoni here was crispy but moist and had good overall flavor. Crust has a crisp airy taste with some flavors of a zeppole. You can't go wrong for fast decent pizza from a chain.",
"I love Jets pizza! I grew up in Michigan (where they are HQ'd) and it is what I grew up with. I have to admit though the pizza in Florida isn't quite as good as it is up north. And it's not just this location, I have tried the shop in Brandon and the one on Bay Pines. There is no consistency, one time it will be awesome and the next time it's terrible. But I will take it all day long compared to what's out there in this area! 8 corner with pepperoni is my favorite.",
"Deep dish pizza is good, haven't tried anything else.",
"My husband and I just moved here and our friends introduced us to Jets. After the first bite I was won over. Their square deep dish is deliciouso! Had the meat lovers and the pepperoni so far. But recommend highly off of those two items. PS you can get flavored crust too!",
"I'm visiting from out of town. I ordered a small Jet 10 thin crust. I was told 45-50 minutes and it was here in 40. The pizza is really good. Only problem is it was delivered borderline cold. Definitely not warm....BUT if you can eat pizza like that and still say it's really good then I can imagine a hot one from there would be awesome!!!"

"The new location is very nice! A complete upgrade! I have been a regular here for well over 6 years. This is my favorite place in Tucson by far. \nThe vegan and veg menu is extensive I have tried it all and it's all wonderful. The General Taos veggie chicken is the bees knees! The lunch special includes rice, egg roll/ crab puffs, main dish and soup! Seriously for 5-6$!!! And it's fast! Hot and fresh and lunch break friendly!\nThe egg rolls at dinner are nothing short of orgasmic. They are the only place with vegan hot and sour soup in town I have found. \nThere is a reason they get voted best of Tucson every year for really good reason. \nThe staff has changed a bit with the move but the food has not! \nThey are open get over there!",
"I have been coming to Guilin for a very long time. I have always enjoyed the food: Fried Tofu w/ Spiced Salt is my all time favorite. I enjoy the staff very much. The new location seems to have some new staff. The new staff are welcomed because they seem to help move the restaurant to that next level. I manage a restaurant just down the street from the new location and welcome the owners and staff to the area. At the new location the food is still incredibly good, fast, and delivered with precision. The pluses are the location and the new building.",
"Visited the new location last night - SO MUCH of an improvement over the last location (which was closer to my house but really beat down). \n\nNew location is further but worth the drive. I appreciate that they're more healthy than your average Chinese restaurant. They have an amazing vegan and vegetarian menu and will cook without oil if you specify. \n\nWe had chicken broccoli soup, beef broccoli, shrimp lo mein, house fried rice and chicken chop suey. It was all SO TASTY. Service was excellent and the kids actually liked all the food - which is unusual (typically they HATE at least one thing I order). \n\nAnyway, long story short - BIG fans, we'll be back and if they have delivery, this is our new place!!!",
"We've been eating at Guilin since we arrived in Tucson. Same delicious food, new improved location. I love this restaurant, and I'm happy they were able to upgrade and move into a new building.\n\nThe huge vegan & vegetarian menu sets Guilin apart--but the meat selections are excellent, too. I really enjoy just about everything on the menu, but I have to get an order of the vegetable lo mein every time. It's that good. \n\nDitch the Panda and the Safeway takeout, and try Guilin. You won't be disappointed.",
"Brand new location, same excellent food! No wonder they keep winning \"Best of\" in the Tucson Weekly. The menu is exactly the same from what I can tell, and the food is just as good. Same staff and people from the Speedway location. We piled up on mushroom and veggie soup, and dry tofu (that's how it comes, so good!) with vegetables, and the plate of dumplings is perfect. Noodles are amazing, everything is finger licking good here. I also really enjoy the green tea ($1) iced, and the hot green tea is served in a pot. \n\nThe decor is much fancier here and the \"bar\" with alcohol more prominent. This feels more like a restaurant and less of a take-away place, as the previous location did. It's clean, nice, and pleasant. Did get pretty noisy and hard to hear since it's not a very big location. \n\nI'll be back... and back, and back, and back!",
"Had a nice meal here.Service was attentive and the food good-usual \"Chinese-American\" fare.\nThe General Tso chicken was very good and nicely presented.I thought the hot and sour soup was mediocre. Prices very reasonable.The new facility was an upgrade.\n\nOne negative was the water seemed unfiltered and tasted bad.Had to order Jasmine tea to have something to drink.They ought to remedy that.\n\nGiven the scarcity of decent Chinese food here this is one of the better places.",
"Absolutely my favorite restaurant, great food and prices for lunch specials and healthier options. \n\nGo here. Seriously, go.",
"After 5 years of living in Tucson, I finally made the trek to Guilin to see what the hype was about. Now, I understand why it's a local favorite.\n\nThis is what we ordered:\n- Hot and sour soup (tasty according to the bf)\n- Sesame chicken (very flavorful according to the bf)\n- Tofu skins with Chinese greens (my absolute favorite dish)\n- Eggplant with basil and garlic (meh... lacking depth and flavor)\n- Vegetarian dumplings (pan-fried and sooooo delicious)\n- Brown and white rice\n\nIf I had things my way, I'd be eating their pan-fried dumplings all day, everyday. \n\nService was friendly, fast, and efficient. I'll be back again.",
"Huge fan! Love the veggie general tso's chicken. It is served with best steamed broccoli. The hot and sour soup and veggie egg rolls are great.\n\nFast delivery and friendly staff.",
"Love Guilin and am so happy they have moved closer to my office. You cannot beat the value of their lunch specials!"

"Green Tea is a Welcomed Change in Salem / Gloucester County areas. Normally I find Asian restaurants that are Thai/Japanese/Chinese are usually mediocre. The Atmosphere of this new restaurant is Great, Service is Great & Friendly and the Food is Great! The Sushi was excellent, The Thai Basil Noodles were perfect as well as the Miso Soup! What more can you ask for. I'm definitely a fan of this Brand New Restaurant. It's BYOB and the Brand New Liquor Store at the end of the strip has an Excellent Selection of Cold Asian Beers and Saki's. I strongly suggest the Lunch Specials and Call to let them know you'll be there for dinner! I'm sure you'll enjoy this Newly Opened Restaurant!",
"My family had a surprisingly good meal at Green Tea. The kids ordered miso soup and sushi, which were quite good, my husband ordered tofu and mixed vegetables from the Chinese portion, which was mediocre, and I ordered the penang curry from the Thai portion of the menu. The curry was as good as any I have had in NYC or Philly, which makes me think the chef in the back might be Thai. Definitely worth another visit, and thank goodness for Asian food in rural South Jersey!",
"I work in Gibbstown and everyone knows there isn't much around the area as far as dining. This place is a very welcomed eating place to the area. The food is great! I'm slowly but surely making my way through the menu. I don't do sushi but my friends say it's delicious!! I think I'm gonna dine here once per week!!\n\nThe Mongolian Beef and Spicy Scallops are yum-o!",
"I go to Green Tea a lot. The service is great, The Sushi is Fresh and the newly found Thai is excellent. Nothing but great things to say here",
"Decent, not outstanding, mixed Asian food. Beef Negimake is great; Age Tofu heavy and not good at all. Some sushi rolls okay, a lot of heavily sauced/fried/Americanized rolls if you like that kind of thing. Will go back to try more of the menu, though, as it seems a bit hit or miss in what they do well and what is much better elsewhere. Service is friendly and though BYOB, it is in the same shopping plaza as a decent liquor store in case you forgot a bottle.",
"What a waste of time, money, and dare i say- sushi. \nWe came to have the all you can eat Monday night sushi. Unfortunately this turned out to be a big mistake. The fish tasted old and had a strange after taste. The avacado was half black, the \"crab\" roll just had the shell of the crab stuffed inside some rice. We left sick to our stomachs and feeling totally unsatisfied with paying $60 dollars for one of the worst sushi meals i have ever had.\nWill not return again. EVER again.",
"What happened here? Have gotten food from Green Tea maybe 15 times since they opened, usually take out, and it has been very good. We even brought food in when we had company at our home and all mentioned how much they enjoyed it. They last two times were OK at best and this time it was terrible! Everything was greasy and the sushi horrible, bland, no taste. Generally we do not give restaurants a second time after a bad experience, however we did here and it only got worse. Definitely won't come back.",
"First time at this place and brought the wifey .. place is small first seeing its on the corner you figure it would be bigger. The outlook/presentation looked nice not saying it looks like a slum house. The hostess was real quick in seating us thinking maybe we were gonna change our minds and leave.\n\nSaw the Sushi bar and i gotta say i had to give this a try seeing there were 2 chefs' behind there wheeling those knives and cutting up some fish and other fine ingedients .(we'll get back to that).\n\nWe started off with trying all 3 regions.. Chinese, Japanese, and Thai.. get the whole asian explosion experience.Our tour will start off with a sample from apps, to main dishes... and dessert. Wifey and i switched it up a little.. our own personal buffet at our little booth and ofcourse we knew we weren't gonna finish and looked forward in bringing it home. Our table we had set up sections and boundaries so we know where we were eating from... i know messed up, the waitress looked at us weird but i explained and i think she understood... she smiled and nodded... Now everyone knows the nod...thats the approval nod.\n\nChinese-\n we went with- a sizzling rice soup which was ok, its alot and 2 people can enjoy it. Myself toooo many water chestnuts and the shrimp was small... chicken tasted ehh besides that it was ok, Rice didn't have that much sizzle to it. Also tried the Sesame beef, opted out of the rice for this tour cause i wanted to get other rice/noodle options from the other fine countries. The sesame beef was ok , nice taste to it .. somewhat chewy but in all the flavor was ok .\n\nThailand-\nWe went with the salt and pepper calamari tempura style, they say lightly battered but it had a little too much on there.. maybe my idea of lightly battered is a dusting, the sause it came with had a little zip to it.. i liked it not sure if the wifey was impressed. also after that trial we also orderd the Basil Seafood.. This i enjoyed, mussels were a little sandy but everything else i enjoyed. wasn't over bearing .\nI did want to try the Pad Thai or their Mango Chicken but i didn't want to hit the Hundred dollar bill note for this.. but so far i am liking the Thai scene.\n\nJapanese-\nHere we go... i was really really looking forward to this.. we started with the Kani Kappa salad, which was wow.. i enjoyed and the wife enjoyed, it had a great taste to it, the dressing they use was great. Banged out an order of Gyoza could have went with dumplings from China but i have had gyoza before and i like it better.Also we got the beef udon noodles... very good, very tasty, great flavor to it., beef wasn't chewy great tasting \n\nNow lets dive into this sushi mofo like the po po to a dunkin donuts. They give you the option for cooked or raw like alot of places. You can order pieces at a time(1 per certain price) Went with a maki roll , and some chef special maki rolls.\nShrimp tepura roll, Salmon tempura roll, Alaska roll(raw) . they were ehh not liking this .. too much rice around it, kinda bland to it.. taste wasn't what i expected from seeing these guys behind the bar. The specialty Maki rolls i tried the Godzilla Maki had spicy tuna and shrimp tempura.. with some tobiko. this was ehh.. not feeling it on the sushi end from these guys.\n\nDesset we shared fried bananas', and never had a fried ice cream tempura.. this was good.. weird but good\n\nWow this is a long review... but i gotta drop the info for you guys, in all The winner here is a tie between Japan and Thai.. we left the sushi on the table couldn't bring it home along with the sizzling rice soup and the salt and pepper calamari. \n\nWaitress came around alot seeing if we were ok , showed alot of paitence even though she had a hard time hiding it. . Place is very clean, bathrooms were good.. seeing i had to go because i think i started a war inside my stomach with all 3 countries going at it at once. mixtures of diffferent cultures at one shot.. not a good idea. \n\nI'd prob go back ... this time I'd go with one country",
"I have to bump Green Tea up a star after being back a few more times in the past year. I think the sushi has certainly improved - although I still avoid the heavily Americanized/fried rolls. But they do some good versions/variations on tuna rolls and spider rolls, and I like some of the lighter salads and appetizers as well. Took a friend recently who is normally very tough to please with Asian/sushi and she was impressed. So I'm glad this place is still around and perhaps just getting better and better.",
"The food is excellent and the service is friendly and fast (a little too fast). It is a BYOB and there is a liquor street in the same shopping complex. I eat there or order and pick-up food from there multiple times a month. I especially like their specialty rolls (red heart roll is my favorite) and gyoza (Japanese dumplings). \n\nThe negatives are the decor (get something on that giant green wall already!) and the service (it's too quick! They need to work on pacing the timing of the food when apps and entrees are ordered and need to be patient and give customers time to review the menu before ordering and time to finish eating before coming over to clear our plates). Green Tea is a much welcomed addition to the community!"

"Came here for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was pretty chill. It looked more of a bar than your typical diner. I had the chicken wrap. It tasted great and the menu is pretty extensive so there are lots of stuff to try. I saw a sign for $5 martinis for happy hour...definitely putting this place on my list of happy hour to try.",
"Fun with Great food. At the end of the meal you they give you fun things to do to get drink coupons. Had a burger and it was awesome.",
"My company frequently takes \"Dive Friday\" lunch outings as a group. We target smaller food joints in the area that don't get a lot of attention, but can really bring it in their respective culinary realm. Most of these places are holes in the wall. Nothing against holes in the wall (some holes are my favorite!), but you come to expect a dingy, dark, small space with sub-par servers and middle-of-the-road decor. Therefore, based on the fact that Back Alley Diner (BAD) had been selected as a Dive Friday destination AND that it's located in The Arcade in downtown Nashville, I was not expecting much. Boy, was I wrong.\n\nOnce you walk up the stairs into the restaurant, you are immediately blown away by how spacious it is compared to what it looks like on the outside. Plenty of tables (even to accommodate 12 people at lunchtime!), a large bar, and an upper seating area looking down over other diners. We sat down and were promptly welcomed by our server (who I would later find out is co-owner). He was friendly, upbeat and had a great sense of humor. Food came out quickly and was delicious. My fried chicken wrap was basic, but exactly what I was looking for and were accompanied by french fries. The perfectly delicious (and yes, unhealthy) lunchtime selection I've come to expect for Dive Fridays!\n\nAs we were leaving, I noted that they do have a happy hour, it appears as though they might have live music (!) and the crowd was pretty solid for lunch. All good signs. I live nearby and plan to swing by for happy hour in the weeks to come. Will report back then. For the time being, B.A.D. is definitely on my GOOD list.",
"The best new bar in this city. I have visited Nashville on many occasions and this is one of the best local bars I have ever enjoyed.Great staff and a cool local bar atmosphere.\nGood burgers.",
"Perfect little hole in the wall gem. A little hard to find but they were very welcoming. We went for $5 martini happy hour and also shared the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers. I was pleased they weren't breaded! We actually liked it so much we went back a couple hours later. Their fries were top notch and the pomegranate martini? To die for. Will definitely be back. We went on a Tuesday night and it wasn't busy at all, which I like.",
"I was in town for a seminar and looking for someplace other than fast food where I could grab a quick lunch. This looks like a true hole in the wall from the outside -- if not for the internet's assurances, I might not have gone in -- but inside, it's a perfectly pleasant bar/lunch spot. My hot turkey-and-cheese sandwich was very tasty, and the fries were perfect. Plus, I was seated right away and on my way in a half hour!",
"@BackAlleyDiner in @DwnTwnNashville is not a diner in the traditional sense of the word. They feature fare more in line with what I would call American Standard fare...burgers, salads, etc.\n\nI really enjoyed a catfish po'boy with fries and hush puppies. The hushpuppies were fluffier than most that I've had.\n\nThe catfish was a generous portion and the sandwich came with a nice remoulade. I would have liked it more heavily sauced...but I have to admit I've spent a good deal of the last few days heavily sauced. That's a story for another review though.\n\nThe folks here were very nice and turned us on to the Peanut Shoppe in the Arcade nearby and I would also recommend a stop there.",
"Amazing Blue Burger, super friendly staff! We went there about 15 minutes before they were supposed to start serving dinner, but they just happily served us anyway.",
"WoW is all I need to say. But I will say more. This is a definite must try. Don't be fooled by the outward appearance. Nothing to look at from the street but very nice inside!! Our server/ co-owner was awesome. Very friendly and knew his menu. Wasn't sure what to get and he asked if we like catfish. Was a little leery about it but promised if we didn't like it that he would even discount it. That is how much he believed we would like it. Definitely not a let down. Loved it and had fries and white beans with it. Very good prices even this poor boy can afford. Look hard for it and don't give up. It is a little hard to find but really worth it.",
"Located in \"alley\" in downtown Nashville, this unassuming looking from the outside restaurant is pleasantly surprising on the inside. Exposed wooden beams and brick make a warm atmosphere inside, with a spacious bar that is tasteful, nice art on the walls, and an upper \"loft\" area overlooking the dining room instantly take you away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The server we had was friendly, and while we expected \"bar food\" for lunch, we all agreed it was far superior. I had a very fresh Chicken and Bleu Cheese salad, with big chunks of green apple and walnuts, and it was delicious. The others at the table had sandwiches and fries and thoroughly enjoyed those as well. If you're downtown and looking for a place that is not packed with fresh, good food, try the Back Alley Diner (B.A.D.)"

"I love this place my brother brought me shrimp platter from this place and it was so good... shrimp nice size ..fries was good potato salad was tasty ...So I went there on my own to check out the menu oh my god they let me taste test every from bar b que pork chops to red beans and rice ....it was so tasty and delicious ... And I can't forget the crawfish and I had a slab of bar b que ribs ...yummmmmmy ...Check them out .. Great food from Good people .. My new fav spot",
"Have had poboys on two occasions, the shrimp and the oyster, and both were yummy. The bread both times was French just right, something of a quest for me since so many places serve cardboard. The small fry was huge, mealy and warm and delicious. The crawfish pie was a tasty morsel, definitely meaty and flavorful. My call-ahead order was ready in a flash, but even ordering in-store does not take too long. Can't wait to go back and try even more of the menu!",
"Went to different seafoods place in the Westbank, by far this place is the best!! The crawfish was always hot, not like another places where they let it sit for hours. Made to order on hot plates, just loving it!!",
"I was surprised how nice the shop was on the inside.\n\nI'm an avid eater of cheap affordable but good places to eat.\n\nThis place has it all, it stocks various flavors of arizona: arnold palmers, and your other typical cheap drinks.\n\nWhen I went I ordered a 12\" shrimp po-boy, a regular fries, and a turkey neck.\n\nThe 12\" Shrimp po-boy was a little pricey imo at 9.99, but the quality of the sandwich itself was much better than brothers, the bread was crisp, the lettuce was green, the mayo wasn't overwhelming. The tomatoes weren't overly mushy.\n\nThe fries were decent, they have the crinkecut french fries with a light cajun seasoning. I might ask them for more seasoning if I go there, but the value of the fry is definitely worse than brothers. You get a lot less for what you pay, but unlike brothers Cajunland makes their fries fresh for every order. It takes a little while longer, but its definitely worth it in the end. \n\nI didn't get to try the turkey neck yet... because its a lenten friday and I forgot by the time I got home I realized I couldn't eat it....\n\nI'm definitely going to go back in their hot display they had: two variants of crawfish, boiled shrimp, whole turkey neck, D&D smoked sausage (long links), pork boudin, fried catfish, fried chicken wings, pigs feet, red beans and rice, and a lot of stuff on the menu. \n\nTHE MOST SURPRISING THING FOR ME WAS THEIR TURKEY WINGS. \n\nIt was kind of crowded so I didn't get to take a picture of the menu, but the prices were fair. \n\nThey have a LARGE selection of po-boy meats and their menu is huge. \n\nI also saw snow crab on the menu, and I think there was a deli part of the shop as well if you were just looking to buy like a bunch of smoked turkey or something. \n\nI don't know if this matters, but Cajunland is an asian owned asian run establishment.",
"I love that this place makes two different batches of boiled crawfish. I can't handle anything too spicy, so this is perfect. They clean their crawfish quite throughly. You don't taste that grittiness like other places. The cajun sauce is also good. Nice clean facility.",
"Had the shrimp poboy and the etoufe. Both were on point and delicious. The poboy had a generous portion of shrimp and the bread was soft. Shrimp was fried to perfection. The Lettuce was a little wilted but sandwich was tasty overall. Will be going back again for sure.",
"Best crawfish!! You can choose mild or spicy, did not try mild. spicy crawfish was so good.",
"I can't really describe the food here besides the fact that it's what cajun food should taste like! And the price ain't bad either \n\nItems I've tried so far and loved:\n\n-potato salad; it is really good! Not like others I've tried before. \n\n-shrimp poboy; two thumbs up! The batter is not too plain or salty, and it really fills you.\n\n-crawfish; yum! \n\n-gumbo; has a nice variety of seafood. The color and flavor are on par \n\n-chicken wings; delicious! The chicken wings here are nicely seasoned and tender. We have gotten catering from here, and it was a favorite by everyone. \n\n-crawfish etoufee; better than most etoufee I've had in a nice cajun restaurant and definitely for like 1/4 the price for a nice big serving \n\nI've tried many other things but can't seem to put my finger on it right now. Just know you won't walk put disappointed. Even if it isn't to your liking, nothing here is bad!!! They also offer a variety of drinks that pair well with the seafood like Big Shot.\n\nYou can ask to try a crawfish, soup, etc. for free. Extra star for free samples. Service is great as well.",
"I am never ever disappointed by this place! I go out of my way to come here at least once every single time I'm visiting Nola. Everything is made to order and everything is SO GOOD. I've tried a large chunk of their menu. Their po boys are the best you'll ever find. Crawfish is perfect, and you can get it spicy or mild. Try the chicken wings! You won't be disappointed. All of their plates are good choices as well...shrimp, fish, ribs, etc. You really can't go wrong with anything here!",
"I grew up in the South (New Orleans and Houston) so crawfish is a staple in my diet. When I moved to the East Coast, needless to say, I have crawfish cravings every year with no decent crawfish around for STATES! \n\nSo like many relocated Southerners, I tried having my crawfish shipped in. And after many many disappointments and subpar crawfish (they just can't get that authentic Louisiana seasoning right), my friend recommended Cajunland. Best place ever! Their crawfish is delicious! Definitely, a great representation of the southern crawdad taste. And shipment was fast! I mean FAST! Next day FAST! So no lost in quality or taste! (They ship to my local airport. Pick up was very straightforward. And the shipping price was more than reasonable.) My family of 6 finished 50 pounds of crawfish in one night! That has to be some kind of record. \n\nSo if you're a relocated Southerner like me, and can't find decent crawfish for miles, definitely look into Cajunland and have them ship ya'll some good ole Louisiana crawfish."

"I had forgotten that the fries are the best thing here. The spicy chicken sandwich was okay. Better than other fast food places. Nothing special.\nThe waffle fries were excellent, among the best in fast food. Get the Chick-fil-A sauce to dip them in The lemonade is tasty, too.\nService was friendly and prompt.",
"Much better than the CFA on McCarran. The fillets for the sandwich are just larger which is always good, meat is properly seasoned and tender, fries are crispy, and the staff already has the customer service and speed aspects down. Only bad thing is the lemonade isn't as tart as other Chick Fil A's.",
"I stopped in as it is a newer restaurant, and wandered in. The drive through was exceptionally busy and handled by employees out there working hard with a smile. I went inside, placed my order within 2 minutes of arriving, and had it at my table before I could take my jacket off and check my phone. I had grilled chicken sandwich, grilled nuggets and a fruit cup. Not exciting, I know, but hits dietary requirements to a tee. The food was fresh, very tasty and exactly what I was looking for. I am very pleased to say I have been there, and will be back again. Noticeably better than any other of this chain. Don't change a thing, and I will be there often.",
"This one just opened. \nCompares well with the other Chick-fil-A restaurants. \nFood was hot. Service was great!!!\nThe drive-thru was busy, but the restaurant wasn't.",
"One of the better Chik Fil A's I been to! Only one complaint is that they never remember my sauce when I ask for it at the drive thru... I've been here at least 8 times and I want to say 5 of those times they forgot my sauce which is a bummer when I get back to the office and notice ;( but still 5 stars because their food quality and service is awesome",
"Received a nice coupon in the mail and decided that I would pay a visit for lunch. Had not been to a CFA in at least 15 years, and never to this one, so I was looking forward to items with which I was not acquainted. With construction and the very large area at the Legends/Outlets at Reno, it is a fair schlep to this outpost which sits near a Popeye's and other casual eateries. I was surprised at how busy the place was for a Wednesday early afternoon. Once again, having never visited this location and having forgotten about my last visit sometime in the early naughts, I was perusing the menu, keeping the coupon in mind, when I was asked by Robert for my order. I said, politely the first time, I needed some time. He thought this funny and continued his 'customer-service' barrage, until finally, when I did have a question, he turned and disappeared into the kitchen, where he was visible laughing and pointing out the door, in my direction. Odd, indeed. Monica, who was standing next to him, was not only MUCH nicer, she was the antithesis of Robert: Well-mannered, patient, courteous, considerate and respectful. \n\nI placed my order with Monica and then, much to our surprise, the food-laden tray was up within 60 seconds, maybe even sooner. I proceeded to a table to enjoy my lunch. A minute or so after sitting down, a man approached and identified himself as Thomas who, along with his wife Tiffany, own the store. He was concerned about my having been treated as I was when I entered and we had a cordial chat about the state of customer service today. He was solicitous & attentive, as well as personally engaging. He handed me a gift certificate for the issues experienced and we parted with smiles. Now, the food...\n\nAgain, having not enjoyed CFA in a decade and a half, I had no real memory of the basic sandwich. However, much came flooding back with that first bite: The soft bun, the distinct flavor and the unique pickle with chicken. A delight! The waffle-cut fries were as I had remembered, quirky and flavorful. Myriad sauces are available and I enjoyed the Sweet & Spicy Sriracha made more potent with a packet of Texas Pete's Hot Sauce. However, the Zesty Buffalo was, to my taste, nothing more than pink-tinged vinegar. Sated, I left, planning my next sojourn to this very good Chick-Fil-A.",
"I can't believe I am leaving less than five stars for a Chick Fil A. I have been to this location many times now. And the wait time is absolutely ridiculous. One day I waited 20 minutes for my food in the drive thru. Chick Fil A is known for their speedy service and friendly employees. I'm not saying they aren't friendly but they seem more focused on each other than the customer. I've never experienced this at another new location so being new isn't a good excuse.",
"I love this place! Such a family feel and the owners are amazing. They're always interacting with the guests and my order has been perfect every time. I go at least twice a week. I love the healthy options and that I can always find something within my eating plan.",
"Super great service every single time\nEveryone is sooooo kind and cheerful\n\nFood is delicious of course as well",
"First timer here to this restaurant/fast food establishment. Wasn't sure how it would be, but upon walking in I was greeted an after telling the cashier that I've never been here he explained what they offer, went over sauces an that etc. So after ordering Wife and I weren't even sitting down for a few mins and the food was out. But like some places, every place has Pro's an Con's and here's the Chicks.\n\nPro's\n- Great looking food, fresh ingredients and it's the first place I've been too where what you order is how it looks when you get it. Amazing!\n- Amazing selection on sauces.\n- Friendly Staff and knowledgeable about products\n- Clean Place, Nice Seating\n- Location has a Play Area for kids.\n\nCon's\n- They use Styrofoam cups!! (Personal Preferences) that's me I will not grade them less because of that."

"Reasonable prices and a great menu, munchies cafe is a welcome addition to the lunch offerings of the area. \n\nI don't know what this little space used to be, but now it's a nice lunch place which offers a full deli set and more. Especially good are the wingdings, breaded chicken wings. You can tell these are popular because they lowered the amount if them you get per order!\n\nThe sandwiches are okay for the price, and the salads are a great size. The only problem is breakfast. Offerings are expensive compared to other nearby place and the food doesn't taste good. All in all, check this out for a cheap lunch!",
"My coworker is obsessed with Munchies. He invited me along a couple times and who am I to say no to the Mayor (or whatever you're called when you've checked in the most) of Munchie's Cafe? \n\nHe loves their wing dings, but he has never offered me a ding to wing or to try, so I can't attest to how amaaazing they are, but I can tell you their fries are the best in a 2 block radius. Their sandwiches are well prepared (good thing too since the place has a deli counter), but their grilled items are pretty boring and lack anything special.\n\nOverall, it's a nice lunch spot. I wonder if I keep accompanying the Mayor, he will appoint me to his cabinet.",
"Surprisingly good! My chicken salad was ... good! My wife's cheese steak was .... good! A good value downtown within walking distance of our hotel. We like. \n\nI liked it better than (no, don't say it!) Jones right nearby. \n\nIt is definitely NOT fancy, but when you just want a fast sandwich, a bag of chips and a soda, this'll do it for you.",
"There are only about a million places to have lunch within walking distance of this place. I find it middle-of-the-road in all respects. Variety, quality, quantity, price, service and cleanliness are all OK. I once had a cheese steak here that was really excellent but that was an exception. Their location is often good for me so I've stopped in fairly often. I'll give them three stars but also say that if you walk three minutes into Old City proper you have many better choices.",
"Munchie's is FANTASTIC. First of all, they are HUGE, with a large selection of both breakfast and lunch. They have a fridge case in the back that spans the length of the store, and has a wide variety of drinks. If you're a sandwich and snack person, don't worry. They have an assortment of snacks from cookies, to chips, to ice cream to Pocky. \n\nThe meats are fresh - taken from their deli case and sliced right before you. And they are proud carriers of Dietz & Watson.\n\nI went in during lunchtime, expecting a long wait. There were a few people there, but they have a system (similiar to Wawa) where you order, then pay while they are making your food. It works fantastically. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. I ordered a BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avacado, & Tomato) sandwich. It was $6. I must admit I had never considered blending those flavors, but how can you go wrong with bacon AND avacado? The answer - you can't. \n\nThe sandwich turned out to be a 10\" sub with perfectly cooked bacon and fresh veggies. The bread was fresh, although I don't know if they bake on site, or have fresh bread delivered.\n\nAs with all well cooked bacon, the sandwich took a little longer to cooke than it did for me to pay. Which was fine, because they have a flat screen tv over their coffee bar, which I was able to watch until my sandwich was ready.\n\nIn addition - for those of you looking to bring in sandwiches for a party or function - they do make both small and large party trays. The small trays are for 6+ people and cost $7 per person. That's almost cheaper than (and a whole lot more healthy than) pizza!\n\nI'll be treating myself here for a long time to come!",
"Munchie's Cafe has quite a long menu. A variety of breakfast and lunch options, La Colombe coffee, and their deli carries Boar's Head meats. So far I can only attest for their breakfast sandwiches, which I like because they actually cook the eggs on the grill and not in a microwave. They also make omelettes, pancakes and french toast. They have a few booths for seating and local alternative papers on hand for reading.",
"We stopped in here on our way back to our hotel from visiting the Liberty Bell. The menu was BIG and it took some time to decide what we wanted!\n\nI got a BLT, B got the American sandwich (turkey, ham, bacon and cheese). B wanted potato salad, but they were out, so we both added bags of chips (BBQ for me, sour cream and onion for B). Bonus points for bottled AND fountain soda, I love me a good fountain soda!\n\nMy BLT was great, crispy bacon and not too much mayo. B said his sandwich was good, too, but I think I won the order battle! Both were served with veggie chips (B ate mine, said they were good) and a pickle.\n\nThe prices were super reasonable in my opinion (my BLT was only $5), but locals who've reviewed here seem to think it's pricey? Maybe Boston is just so expensive it's warped my sense of affordable! Super clean and really friendly staff, too.",
"Munchie's is very close to my office and so I stop in there frequently for coffee or for lunch. They make the most delicious grilled cheese of any restaurant, and the sandwiches come with a side of some kind of pita chips (as long as you are eating in.) If you get the sandwich to go, they do not include the chips. The coffee is good, and they have hazelnut available. They do not restock their shelves very often so sometimes you can't get a candy bar, bag of chips, or certain drink you might be looking for. Their many breakfast options are good, just make sure you have about 10-15 minutes to wait for it, even if it's only a bagel with cream cheese. I recommend Munchie's for the grilled cheese, the smoothies, and the coffee. Other stuff, I would go down the street a little further to the corner store.",
"This place is good for a quick, inexpensive breakfast in Philly. They have healthier options as well, which I appreciated. They even let me switch out the cheese and get turkey sausage instead of regular sausage. The guy at the register even brought my food to me. I like it!",
"you better check your receipt and your order - if I hadn't asked about why they charged so much they would never have corrected food order bill - In addition, I work down the street and there aren't very many decent places to get lunch takeout - since they claim to make breakfast all day one would expect that the could prepare an omelet as requested but they make it the the same, dry omelet no matter how i have requested it -they cut rolls when you ask them to not cut in half - when you ask for shredded hash browns they subsitute the greasy patties because they're faster to cook but fail to mention it to you until you have walked 2 blocks to your office - they take forever to make your order. I suspect they di business despite poor servife and fod prep because of their location ."

"like felidia's this is one of those posh places that is sometimes difficult for me to give anything but five stars. to start, it's a old little building practically built right on the road. so old in fact, that as a general store, a post office was built into it... the post office is still there and functioning. needless to say the exterior and somewhat remote location make this a staple of the northwest philadelphia countryside. the interior is decorated decidedly french with roosters, wine corks and elegant iron candle lit wall fixtures.\n\nit's byob, so make sure you know what your doing if you bring wine. i'm of the mind that the wrong wine could ruin the enjoyment of such fine french cuisine. the menu is small and expensive with dishes that seem like their ingredients were bought that morning at the market. and the dishes did not fail to delight.\n\nthe service was ok, friendly, but not as attentive as i would hope for such a high end place.\n\nbut if you're into fine dining, it's definitely worth it to scrap up the cash and check this quaint place out.",
"Chef Francis T is one of the most talented and passionate chefs in the region and his dishes reflect his passion and skill.\n\nMake sure you take your favorite bottle of wine. The window in the store is filled with dozens of empty 1st growth Bordeaux (some contributed by my dining companions and me).\n\nThe place is a bit hard to find for first timers or people not familiar with the area, but that's part of the charm that makes this a hidden gem !!",
"Birchrunville gets a 5 star rating for being the perfect antidote to the culinary wasteland that is Chester County. It's not the most inventive food on the planet, and the food often has an old school continental feel. It's quite likely that a table of 4, with 4 different entrees will all have the same vegetables. \n\nBut, the veggies will be tasty. If you order a crispy sea bass, as my date did tonight you won't get a potato wrapped or heavily breaded clumsy piece of fish. What you will get is a pefectly seared, super crispy skinned plate of goodness. When fish skin gets this cripsy, who cares if the veggies are the same on everyone's plate?\n\nThough I find the food incredibly enjoyable, its the atmosphere that really makes this place. Although the space is beautiful, its the simplicity that makes it so comfortable. You won't find table cloths or fancy stemware, and the servers are likely to grab your wine glasses by the bowl and they'll certainly speak with a Chester County accent, but that's all in the charm.\n\nThe Birchrunville Cafe has not misconceptions about what it is. Its delicious, comfortable and quaint. If you are looking to be impressed with nouvelle cuisine, look elsewhere. But, if you're looking for a perfect place to pass time with great company, I can think of no place better.",
"Recently had a private event at Birchrunville Store Cafe and it was fabulous!! Not only was the food delicious but the staff and service was excellent and Chef Francis was very nice to work with in order to create a custom menu and finalize the details of the event.\n\nThe late spring evening drive was perfect, passing picturesque churches, horse farms and mansions.\n\nOur menu consisted of :\nHors d'œuvre - Escargot, Tuna tartare, Duck confit and Pancetta wrapped shrimp\nFirst Course - Truffled Goat Cheese Soufflé\nSecond Course - California Bass w/wild asparagus and basil emulsion\nThird Course - Rabbit Lasagna, Bitetto olive, chanterelles, baby leeks \nFourth Course - Napoleon of Sweetbreads and Foie Gras\nFifth Course - Buffalo w/Cabernet sauvignon risotto, walnuts, mushroom fries\nDessert - Caramelized chocolate-strawberry ganache; Lemon Dacquoise with almond meringue; Citrus Champagne sorbet\n\nWe paired some great wines including:\n2006 Beringer Chardonnay Sbragia\n2006 Saintsbury Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir \n2000 Chateau Prieure Lichine\n2006 Kracher Beerenauslese Cuvée\n\nIf you haven't been to this authentic French-Italian mecca, perhaps a pilgrimage is due. Remember to grab a few bottles from your cellar and make sure you have a reservation. \n\nI believe the first Tuesday of every month they do a tasting menu only (normally they are not open on Tuesdays). Call them for details.\n\nIf you are passionate about food & wine and the menu above peeked your interest and you are interested in attending similar events in the future with similarly minded people, send me a note.\n\nCheers\nPercy",
"One of my all time favorite restaurants. The setting is perfect - in the middle of nowhere, shares the building with the town post office...\n\nThe food is amazing. I've never had a bad meal. BYO.\n\nMy husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner here. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The food was incredible, and our guests had a great time. A wonderful spot for a romantic dinner or private party.",
"This place is long drive from Philly but boy was it worth the trip. The appetizers were all fantastic. Definitely try the salmon terrine if it's still on the menu. All five in our party had very memorable meals. A very quaint space with the local Post Office in the same building. It might look like Mayberry RFD but Andy and Aunt Bee never ate like this. The food will stand up to anything in the city. Not cheap but as a BYO a very good value.",
"It's amazing how long it takes to get a reservation in this restaurant. The cool atmoshere warrants a good review but the food and service surely is lacking. Being fortunate enough to dine at the many excellent BYOBs in the area, we have become accustomed to the server keeping some eye on the wine, to pour. Rather than continue to wait and ask, it became obvious that we were to keep our wine glasses full on our own. Also, to request the additional bottle to be opened. The food has much to be desired, lacks imagination, rarely change menu. Filet is overdone, Ceasar salad had so much dressing on it, felt like wiping down with a towel. Even though we have had good dinners in the past, our last 4 visits all in last 5 weeks will be our last.",
"We eat here often enough that it is on our regular list to eat at, but not so often that we use it for special occasions as well.\n\nMeals are excellent, staff is friendly and the only time I ever had to send something back (app that just missed the mark) they corrected it in a minute.\n\nThe deserts are an excellent way to end the evening.",
"For us, it's like living near the Liberty Bell...we never go. WHY don't we go to Birchrunville Store Cafe more often...we live 1.4 miles away. Great dinner last night included a super ostrich with blueberries and risotto...the best. Desert was three different crime brûlée of which my favorite was the dark chocolate with peppermint...yum. Take a good bottle of wine with you...don't cheap out with the Pinot Grigio...yuk. We are coming more often...sorry we forgot about our local treasure",
"This is one of the best restaurants i have eaten in. My wife and i usually go there with 2 other couples about once every 2-3 months. It's worth the wait. The food is always outstanding, and the menu is constantly changing. The staff is always very attentive to our needs at the table, weather its wines being opened, glasses being filled or napkins being folded, they are on point. The beautiful ambiance of the surrounding is perfectly match by the inside of the cafe, and the food on the menu."

"You people are way to harsh on this place. It's good tasty fast food Chinese. It's not trying to be anything more.",
"Panda Express is another ok fast food place. It's nice to have an option besides burgers to eat fast. The food at this particular location is usually hot and tasty for what it is. The Orange Chicken is their best dish. The cheese rangoons aren't too greasy and are good. The rice and noodles are good for a fast food version of them. The service is fine. The cleanliness of the store could sometimes be better, but it's only been bad when bad parents have let their kids run amuck in the store throwing food around, which seems to happen every time I'm in this location. \n\nOverall, if you're looking to eat relatively cheaply and quickly, and don't want a burger, then I'd recommend Panda Express.",
"Food is good, but service is very slow and the people behind the counter are not very nice or friendly. Design of the restaurant is weird. If they are busy I highly recommend going in through the back or you have to cut through the people in line in order to to the back of the line.",
"I've eaten here many times. I really like the Walnut Shrimp, but they never give you enough walnuts with the shrimp. This last time, there was only enough shrimp left in the pan for my bowl that I ordered and there about 15 walnuts in the pan. When I got home, I realized that I did not even get ONE walnut! Was the server eating the last walnuts in the pan herself or are they so cheap that they reuse the walnuts over and over? This isn't the first time this has happened. I wish they would serve the dish that they advertise -- cheap skates!!! As I walked by tables (from the lunch crowd) I also noticed that all the tables were dirty still. I GIVE UP! I've given them a bunch of chances, and the service seems to always get worse. The servers aren't even friendly -- never a smile for the customer. NOT ever eating here again. Other Panda Expresses around town are much better. These people at this store have gotten VERY GREEDY! Greed = NO MORE CUSTOMERS. Subway, around the corner will be my choice when I pass by for a quick meal.",
"The service here was horrible. The server took anywhere from 2 to 6 minutes per person. With 5 people in front of me, it took almost 18 minutes to get to the register. He seemed to be confused and disoriented and people had to repeat their orders several times to him. With three total people on the line, that's unacceptable.",
"I like this place. We all know what it is - it's nothing fancy, but the food is usually good and the menu is always changing. Plus - love the Orange Chicken!",
"So I had an unfortunate event happen when another panda opened, and I vowed to never eat there again. Fast forward two years and I find myself ordering the same wonderful delicious things I remember from long long ago. And like that I was hooked.\n\nToday after being out and about on a \"mom\" day, did some shopping then stopped into Panda to have a quick bite. The staff was nice enough, a little slow but they looked understaffed. I got my food, ate it there and long story short I'm now in the bathroom with terrible pains in my stomach. Thank you for food poisoning ONCE AGAIN!!",
"First time eating at this location. The inside was clean and employees were nice. However I was bothered by watching an employee put a Rangoon that had dropped on the counter back in the dish to serve to customers.\nFood tasted normal, nothing special.",
"So saaaad. Not sure if Panda standards are getting worse or if their food has always been this bad?! I was so disappointed and dissatisfied. This is the third time I've eaten at this location and both times the food tastes like it had been there since yesterday. My son wouldn't even eat the noodles or chicken which he loves. $10 for a 3-plate entree?!?! I'm taking my business elsewhere....besides no signs for upcharges on *new* items. Which the new ribs tasted liked cardboard.",
"Disappointing. Food was stale and bland. Johana didn't care about what the customer wanted or requested. She was more interested in pushing people through the line even though there wasn't anyone else behind me. Don't think we will be coming here again. Really loved their food and service in the past."

"Like their predecessor Amrutha Cuisine, Curry Leaf just goes from bad to worse. Their biggest weak point is what the owners' of Curry Leaf tries to pass off as service. Now to be fair, I have to break my review of their service into two parts: the owners' service, and the waitress' service. The owners' do not seem to care about the customers, and just do whatever they feel like. (Including deciding how to charge you, and what foods you'll order.) The actual service staff, a young blonde waitress in our case, actually tried to make a favorable impression on us.\n\nWhen we first pulled up to Curry Leaf, they had two lighted signs saying they were open and two signs beneath each which stated they would not open for another 45 minutes. We went inside to ask if they were open, and were told they were. My guest and I stood near the door for two minutes while an older gentleman stared at us. Finally, he told us to sit anywhere we liked in the completely empty restaurant. The older man walked away, and an older woman came out to give the two of us one menu to share. We would later learn these menus were new. Which I guess means they are incredibly valuable, and not to be handed out lightly.\n\nWhile looking over the menu, the woman just stood at our table, waiting to take our order. Talk about awkward! We spotted a few dishes that seemed interesting, but then saw a two person dinner. This seemingly good deal had less interesting choices, but still good standards of Indian cuisine. We decided on the two person dinner because of the deal, instead of getting the more interesting items.\nThe \"non-veg family dinner (for two)\" comes with a plethora of items (rice, naan, dhal, raitha, soup of the day, a choice of two selected entries, and a dessert). The older woman took our order, mumbling and nodding the whole time. There seemed to be some confusion, but the woman would just nod and mumble. When she finally appeared to understand our order, we asked to hang onto the menu for a little while. She just nodded and left.\n\nThe mango lassi we ordered appeared almost instantly, which is rarely a good sign of quality food. This was no exception. The lassi was warm, too sweet, and tasted slightly metallic. Before we had taken two sips of the lassi, our entrees arrived. The other items did not come with our food. When we asked about the missing items, the older woman shook her head. I pointed to the menu saying we were supposed to get other items, and she pointed to the same place. I asked if it was a choice of items, she nodded yes, grabbed the menu from my hand, and left without a word.\n\nWe were confused and disappointed. The portions were really small, but I attributed that to the fact it was a shared dinner instead of individual portions. About this time, the blonde waitress I mentioned earlier walked through the door. It was at this time that the quality of service went way up. After checking in with the owners, she came to check on us. We asked the waitress about the missing items, and she apologized. She said the same thing had happened the night before. They didn't have the proper plates for the dinner for two, so they were not offering it yet. (Surprising since we had just ordered it.) She said she would make sure our bill was corrected, and went to argue our case with the owners. The waitress really took good care of us. She earned this restaurant the only star it gets in this review.\nLooking back on the food, I guess those tiny portions are the general dinner serving sizes. How sad. My guest and I were both hungry the rest of the night, but had already purchased tickets to see a movie after eating. By the time the movie was over, both of us had really low blood sugar levels. Eating at Curry Leaf literally ruined our whole night. I guess the only good thing about the food is that there wasn't much of it to eat.\n\nThe Lamb curry was mostly tasteless, until we got to the bottom of the bowl. At the bottom the curry tastes only of disgusting heavy oil. The Chicken Tikka Masala was neither good nor bad, it merely existed on our table. Seriously, even the naan was bad. It was under cooked in the middle, and tasted like doughy pizza crust. I am so tired of thinking about how terrible everything was that I don't have the energy to complain more about the food. This is the worst Indian food in Tucson. If you want good Indian food, go literally anywhere else, like New Delhi Palace, Gandhi's, or my personal favorite Saffron.\nWhen the bill came around, the waitress apologized again for the misunderstandings. We left the waitress a tip, in cash, and ran out of the restaurant as fast as we could. I was embarrassed for the waitress, and for guilty for leaving her there. I will say again, the waitress was the only saving grace at a restaurant with terrible food and contradictory signs/menus/owners. I have tried both incarnations of Curry Leaf and Amrutha, and I can honestly say that I hope to never step foot in that establishment again.",
"Curry Leaf, which used to be Amrutha, has supposedly been updated and refreshed.\n\n(+)Here are the positives:\n+The waitress (a young blonde) was very nice. \n She said she was new, but was quite attentive and willing to please.\n+The mango lassi and food portions are small.\n Why is it GOOD that the portions are small? I'll get to that...\n+They were open before hours and willing to serve\n+Gave 20% off the bill for their errors (though this shouldn't be expected since I could hear the waitress arguing for us even tho it was an error on the restaurant's end)\n\nNow for the negatives. Where to even start?!\n\n(-)SERVICE\n---Allowing customers in before they were officially open or prepared.\n The open sign was turned on, despite their opening dinner hours starting at 5:30 (we were there just before 5pm). Although at first listed as a positive, the fact that they were not ready to take customers bumps it to a negative.\n---Service by one of the owners\n We were served by one of the owners, an older woman, until their official waitress came in at about 5:15. You'd think this would be a positive thing, but even though the woman got us water, she didn't care that we existed and although had invited us in, seemed put out by our being there.\n When we weren't immediately ready to order (looking over the new menu and it's options) she didn't say anything, but remained looming over our table until we put in our order.\n---The Family Platter (for 2)\n We ordered the family platter for two, by pointing to it on the menu. It comes with naan, raitha, dhal, soup of the day, a dessert choice, and 2 entree choices (from a list). We chose the Lamb Curry and Chicken Tikka Masala (we figured a curry would be a safe bet and Tikka Masala is one of my favorites), and when given the option, chose the garlic naan. I also asked to keep the menu (I hadn't had enough time to properly peruse it)\n The two curries and garlic naan arrived with none of the other options. Confused, we asked about the other options (and the soup of the day), wondering if you got all of them or it was a choice (didn't seem like a choice of items the way it was laid out on the menu and she should have said something if they were). The woman mumbled affirmation for choice and rudely took away the menu (as if to prevent me from further comparing what we ordered to what we were getting) before stalking away.\n When the new waitress arrived, she explained that Curry Leaf was actually not doing the family platter because they were missing the family platter plates. Really?! If you have all the items, it can't be served without a specific PLATE?!\n More than a little disappointed, as had we known the option wasn't available, we might have ordered different curries. But upon tasting the food, I don't think it would have mattered what we ordered.\n\n(-)FOOD\n---Mango Lassi\n I LOVE mango lassis but I'm glad we only ordered one to try and it was actually a good thing that the lassi was fairly small. Why? To start with, it was lukewarm, but worse, it didn't taste fresh as if it came from a mix or can...too sweet, yet mostly flavorless and an unnatural bright orange.\n---Curry\n Small, bland portions filled with grease. To start with, both the chicken and the lamb were overcooked and chewy. Because we ordered 'medium' spice, I was left with a slight spice kick in my mouth, but because the food was inherently tasteless (which curry should definitely NOT be) there was no other flavor transfer. They say that hunger is the best spice, but despite being hungry, the food was so unremarkable that when I considered trying the lamb, I'd already forgotten that I'd just swallowed a bite.\n The Lamb Curry had a slight pepper taste in addition to its grease, but no other memorable curry taste at all. Although the Tikka Masala was better than the curry, it was the 2nd worst Tikka Masala I've ever had. The worst was when I went to Amrutha's last year and tried their Tikka Masala...that's an improvement, right? \n---Garlic Naan\n The garlic naan was large, almost pizza sized, which at first made me happy (yay! more naan!) until I tried it (no!! more naan!). The taste was like uncooked pizza dough, the crispy edges like overcooked pizza crust. Basically, the naan tasted like unsauced, mostly undercooked thin crust pizza with a smattering of parsley and garlic. It tasted premade...but from where? I'd say Pillsbury, but Pillsbury tastes better.\n\nI tried, Curry Leaf. You said you were re-vamping, improving from the disaster that was Amrutha's. Although there are minor improvements, it's like saying slightly spoiled milk is better than rotten cheese. \nIf you want Indian food, go ANYWHERE else.",
"Wow. Came across this little spot on my ay home from work-I cannot imagine why anyone would leave anything other than 5 stars for this place. First, the atmosphere is nice, classy, very clean. Second, great service and the owner shared lots of interesting tidbits about each dish yo help me find my destiny, a coconut curry creamy base with veggies and cashews. He is willing to accommodate an dietary needs and told me I could call ahead to make special requests. The owner was my server at this visit, so some other reviewers mention a blonde server. I did not meet her.\nThe dish was served and it was absolutely delicious. It looked, smelled, and tasted amazing.\nThe chef even came out to greet me and ask me how I liked my entree.\nI will be visiting this place again. Not a perfect location, but worth the drive in my opinion. Prices were more than fair and apparently there is a buffet at lunchtime.",
"Mobile review go! Went here at 11am for an early lunch with my fiancee, got buffet. Really enjoyed the chicken saag and a few of the other dishes. Was pretty impressed by the food, but wan't expecting much. Nothing much to say about the service, I got refills on iced tea and otherwise I just served myself as one does at a buffet. Would go back, would eat again.",
"This place is awful. Though not technically their fault, the AC was broke when I went. What is their fault, however, is that the food is greasy, they were out of tofu, they have no brown rice and their prices are too expensive for the quality. They cook their curry in oil instead of coconut milk, giving it rubbery consistency.",
"Feel better leaving my son in Tucson knowing that home cookin is just around the corner! Showed up 30 min before they closed and the staff was most gracious. Our order was hot, fresh & tasty. I wish I could remember the names of the dishes but we were tired from a long day's move!\n\nChicken something was great. Lamb something else was greater! Rice was fluffy. The raitha was zesty and soothed our palate - I ordered it a spicy 7+ and told the waitress not to treat me like a tourist! They delivered!\n\nSon is looking forward to Lunch Buffet - I feel like I should warn the owner...LOL",
"My girlfriend and I first found this place under it's previous name, Amrutha. Back then it was shrouded in curtains with dimmed lighting inside. The restaurant has changed since then.\n\nThe last time we visited with my parents from out of town, we all had a great meal. The food at Curry leaf remains the best Indian food I've ever had. I'm pretty certain that the food is made by an Indian family that runs the place. I especially like their palak paneer and chicken biryani rice, however chicken tika masala is also excellent. Whenever I visit I order chai at the end of the meal, it's friggin' amazing, it's like drinking a cookie.\n\nIf this were a review of Amrutha it would be five stars, however the restaurant is now too bright(they removed the curtains and didn't replace them with anything, eating at sundown can be somewhat annoying) and the young white college girl waitress they hired is somewhat awkward and impatient. \n\nThough the new staff and atmosphere subtracts a star the food is still amazing, I recommend this place to everyone who comes into town.",
"Authentic Indian Cuisine debuts in Tucson! The Tucson Weekly article inspired me to check out Curry Leaf. Had noticed a new sign- has stayed in the family but re-invented. They have sensibly re worked their serving style eliminating the lunch buffet and creating these wonderful 'tasting plates' called Lunch Thali (like Japanese Bento Boxes) with a delicious assortment of authentic menu items profiling fresh ingredients, spices and flavor profiles. The portions are 'just right'- allowing each item to be enjoyed and combined with others.You chose either a meat or veggie entree ( 8 choices in all), Super Samosas, soft warm Naan (try the garlic style), perfectly steamed aromatic basmati rice, a pakora bite,Tandoori chicken leg (abit dry), freshly made Raitha (cucumber/yoghurt sauce), and a lovely little stainless cup of Sambar- a flavorful lentil soup with squash, carrots, tamarind and onions- delightful! You also get to enjoy a Gulab Jamun- a lovely almond dessert- not too sweet....all for $8!\nHostess Danielle and Owner Prasad were more than attentive. Prasad sat with me and told me about their food concept and what they are hoping to achieve. He made me feel like I was in his home. He also offered me a complimentary tasting of the warm rice/milk/raisan dessert- you could eat a bowl for breakfast!\nI love a little chutney to balance the creamy, cool, spice, and heat flavors. Prasad was quick to bring a sample to the table.\nYou can custom 'heat' your entree items. Mine were midly spicy with that wonderful heat that stays on the tongue inviting your next bite!\nMy best Indian dining has been in Bangladesh, Hong Kong and London- however, Prasad's Curry Leaf brings back wonderful memories offering traditional taste with fresh ingredients and spices...it's as good as it gets!\nHow lucky we are to have them in our backyard. Run, do not walk to Curry Leaf and try all the menu items....they deliver too!\n\nChef Jo\n\nps I suggest to those that had bad experiences come back for another try. Eliminating the buffet was a very smart move., Have tried other Indian Restaurants in Tucson and they are either extremely expensive, glitzy or generally just bland and hardly truly authentic.\n I don't eat anywhere where the food is 'hot held' and open to lots of people's germs.....give the place a chance; make positive suggestions to the owners who are open and willing to make this restaurant a success....",
"I guess they are still working out the bugs for their new restaurant. The menu was in plain 8.5x11 piece of paper. When you enter there is no booth or anyone to greet you. We waited at the door for couple of minutes then just decided to sit at one of the tables. The waitress was new, so she was still learning, but that is OK, everyone has to learn. But, when it came to filling out refills and being attentive, that was not happening. We got our drinks once, and no refills the entire time we had our food. The food was good and the waitress was nice, but they need to step up on their service big time.",
"I am surprised this place has such low reviews as well. I got a veggie curry dish (nordvark or something of the sort) and it was delicious. We got veggie samosas delivered to our table for free and they were really amazing. The rest of the meal was very good, not amazing, but definitely will be back. They make the samosas by hand and the owner explained the process to my guest and I, stating that it took 90 seconds for a skilled worker. We also got chai and it is made fresh upon you placing an order for a cup.\n\nGo here if you're craving Indian. I've yet to find a better place in central Tucson."

"Chinese and Japanese food. It's always fresh and the service is pleasant and attentive. They include pickled cabbage and carrots along with the crisps.\n\nThe other day, someone complained that the entree wasn't what they expected and it was taken care of quickly and without fuss.\n\nThe crowd tends to be older, with few children. The interior is mostly pink and the lighting is very good. The booths are comfortable and while the tables tend to be crowded together, the seats are also comfortable.\n\nI always get the sushi, which is fresh and delicious. Prices for a sushi entree range from about 11 dollars for the three roll platter to about 21 dollars for the sushi and sashimi platter. It will include miso soup. \n\nThey give you fruit and a fortune cookie with the bill.",
"I have never had a bad experience here. I have only dined in once, but the food speaks for itself! I almost always get the Maki Combination. The fish is always fresh and delicious! Service is always great & I look forward to checking out their new location in Warminster I just wish they delivered!",
"When we visit my cousin in Philadelphia, we often stop there. Decent Chinese food.",
"Had a chance to dine here last night thanks to a $25 gift card from a particular website! This was my 2nd time here. The first time I dined here was in '05.\n\nMy friend Jess and I ordered Calamari as an appetizer (I love the way they prepare their calamari). So when the waitress asked us,\"Calamari?\" we said yes. Well, out comes Edamame. We didn't think anything of it. We thought maybe it was just like the crunchy (which were awesome, btw!) noodles you get when you sit down. Complimentary. And I even noted to Jess that when I came here in '05 they didn't give us edamame, so I thought maybe that had changed in the service.\n\nSo our Miso soups came. Then our dinners.\n\nI got my usual Maki Combination (Alaska Roll, Spicy Tuna & Philly Roll) and decided to try a Special Roll. The Special Roll that I went for was the Crazy Tuna Roll (PEPPER TUNA AND AVOCADO INSIDE, TOPPED WITH SPICY TUNA). It wasn't that bad. It didn't knock my socks off either. It was tasty & fresh, don't get me wrong.. Maybe next time I'll look for something really out of the ordinary. Looking at their menu online, next time I'll get the Golden Dragon Roll (Spicy Salmon & Asparagus inside, Salmon on the top).\n\nJess ordered Chicken Teriyaki with white rice. HUGE serving. She took home more than half of it.\n\nHalfway through our meal we realized we never got the Calamari. When we questioned the waitress, she had thought we asked for Edamame!! We were still craving the calamari, so we told her we'd still like to have it. I know I shouldn't complain, but I thought that maybe they would have taken the edamame off the check, but hey - we had a $25 gift card, so whatever! Next time I order calamari there, I will make sure there are no communication issues. While yes, it was a little difficult to understand our waitress at times, that did not take away from the fact that she did a great job. \n\nLast but not least, ice cream. Jess had strawberry and I had green tea. The portions were HUUUUUUGE! While I didn't get a chance to take any pics of the sushi or Jess' meal, I did take a picture of the ice cream because I said it looked like wasabi ice cream (is there such a thing? I'd eat it!).\n\nOverall it was still a very nice dinner. It did get a little loud with a table full of approx. 15 Russian diners celebrating a birthday, but hey, with bottles of wine, vodka and the delicious food, who could blame them for getting a little loud?\n\nI have another $25 gift certificate to use and I'd definitely go back. The total was around $38, including 18% tip. Not too shabby!",
"Such a cute restaurant! Very cozy and warm inside. The Chinese food is pretty tasty, and the sushi is beautiful, but expensive. I did not like all of the fish in the sashimi sampler though. I have had better and fresher sashimi in Center City.",
"lived in the neighborhood for 11 years and only tried it last week (the name scared me off ;-o). Really good food and service. They serve Japanese and Chinese food in this brightly decorated restaurant",
"Ive been eating here for years, I try to go at least 1-2 times a month to get take out. I think it's the best chinese and japanese place in NE Philly. The food is delicious. I love the kani salad, hot and sour soup, and general tsos chicken. their lunch menu is a steal and i usually get the bento box for like $10 which includes sushi, and chinese.\n\ni highly recommend it. though the decor is brightly colored, the service is good and food is yummy.",
"Taste Queen is the best option in the area for your everyday Chinese takeout. The food is always good and the meat never funky (my least favorite thing that seems to happen at Chinese takeout quite frequently) and the service is on point. The also have a pretty decent Japanese menu.",
"Decided to try Taste Queen based on the reviews and we weren't disappointed! Great food, good service, large portions.",
"Plain and simple, Taste Queen is a great restaurant. The Chinese and Japanese dishes are well-prepared, and their Sushi is second to none. The portions are very nice and the service has never disappointed. Taste Queen also has a dessert that you don't often see in a restaurant serving Asian faire... Fried ice cream!"

"I like the convenience of the drive through at this Panera location. The service could be better. They do not put the cream cheese on your bagel, instead they give you a small container. Have you ever tried spreading cream cheese while driving? Me either! I have been there 3 times and not once did they ask for my mypanera rewards card, so I missed out on the points. I tried to go to the website and add the information from my receipts, but it would not let me. \n\nI work in Mt. laurel and find that location to be much more accommodating!",
"this place was rad and my food was great the outdoor seating was so nice and besides a few bees me and my group had a great time!",
"I have been a fan of Panera Bread for years so I was excited when one opened close to my home. After eating there yesterday I am sadly disappointed. When I placed my order the first thing I was asked was \"if I had a Panera card?\" I said no and asked for some information about the card and if I could get one. I was told curtly there were no cards and was asked to move on. I ordered 2 panini sandwiches PRESSED ----total cost $20. The sandwiches came cold and unpressed and when I asked to have them pressed so they would be warm I was told that they would \"have to see\" if the order could be redone. 5 minutes later a very unhappy worker came to my table and said \"Okay they will redo your order\" and grabbed my plate. Will not be back again.",
"Finally went here and got the soup in a bread bowl. My usual. However, the bread bowl was sooooo super chewy that I couldn't even eat it. It requires super human jaw strength. I wouldn't bother with another bread bowl again. Plus, the tiny amount of soup they give u isn't worth the $6 eventhough the black bean soup was on point. I also got the cobblestone which is my fave bakery item from panera. And even after it sat out all day, it was still awesome. The staff was friendly and it wasn't busy so they took care of us right away. I'll go back. I'll just skip the bread bowl next time.",
"Food is great here and the service at the counter is always fast and friendly. The rapid pick up is a DISASTER! They opened this location in early August. I have done Rapid pick up 4 times since then and the order was wrong twice. I guess I should have known better after the 1st time and checked the order before I left. DO NOT use Rapid pick up from this location. The 2nd (and last) time I did, only 1 of the 4 items ordered was correct. I don't mean something small like the condiments were incorrect. I was given soup instead of a salad????? Half order of pasta instead of a whole order and a half order of something I did not order. Contacted Customer Service who told me this is a franchise location and they would forward my email. Never heard anything back.",
"I love Panera, and super excited to have a location much closer to my home & office! This location has a drive-thru, which is super convenient. Friendly staff, food prepared well. They had some kinks to work out when they first opened, which was to be expected, but now seems to be up and running full steam ahead. My only complaint, which is more of a 'heads up' to others is that if you order through the drive thru or rapid pick up make sure you double check that they've included the croutons for your soup. It's been my experience that they will forget the croutons every single time.",
"Bread was super hard. And the iced green tea tasted like laffy taffys. I told them to try it and tell me if it tasted weird to them. But none of the workers ever tried it or even heard of panera bread or knew that they were working or that they were in this country called \"sicklerville\"",
"(Update as of my 10/17 visit to this location) \nToday I ordered a rapid pick up order that had the butternut ravioli and soup with baguette as the side choice. I wasn't given the bread, and the pasta container was jammed into a bag that was too small causing the lid to be open. Needless to say, by the time I got to the office to enjoy my lunch it was cold. The pasta was dry and didn't seem to have any sauce, which I thought was strange because a co-worker raved about how delicious the same pasta dish was when she had it last week. With Panera's prices a bit on the high side, the employees should be cautious to ensure the orders are correct. Especially with a drive-thru or rapid pick up order when you typically don't realize the error until you've already driven off an arrived at your destination.\nI voiced my concerns about this location via the Panera website. I received a response from corporate within a day. They advised me that management at this location was made aware of the issue and would be in touch with me very soon. I still haven't heard from anyone at the Sicklerville location.....I guess they're not overly concerned in correcting the errors. \n\n I really hope things improve as I've never ever had issues with any other location.",
"This Panera has a drive thru and they deliver to your table after you place your order at the cash register. It store is huge, there's a lot of space! I got a Mediterranean veggie. It's always standard and solid for a vegetarian. \nMy friend got a thai salad bowl. She wasn't that happy with it. \nCookies, pastries and bagels are always good here. Also they have a hot chocolate with marshmallows with chocolate chips in them!",
"Try the breakfast bagel sandwiches. If you are looking for something on the healthy side, try the avocado egg white and spinach on sprouted grain flat bread bagel. A freshly prepared choice, which is rare to find in a chain restaurant. All bagels are on the chewy side. For lunch, you can't go wrong with the frontega chicken panini. If you bring kids, they have courtesy cups for a small juice. Save yourself a buck. Nice outside seating."

"Daniel Costa of Edmonton's popular Corso 32, opened up Bar Bricco this past weekend. The Italian wine and spuntini bar (late night, small snacks) sits between his infamous Italian restaurant and the old home of downtown's Transcend, soon to be a third restaurant of the acclaimed chef. Contrasting Corso 32′s \"reserve two weeks in advance or good luck to you!\" stance, Bar Bricco does not take reservations. Which was intriguing enough that got me thinking, I need to go ASAP or else I'll never get to try it once word gets out. So Saturday night, Joe and I headed down with the hopes of nabbing two seats.\n\nOur server/bar tender was excellent, super knowledgeable with the drinks and menu, which you can view at the end of the post (photos). Neither of us are extensive wine drinkers so we opted for our usual. Joe ordered the Deschutes \"Mirror Pond\" pale ale, and I ordered the Aperol Spritz, something both Cafe Amore and Woodwork made me quite fond of. Delicious! Although I preferred Cafe Amore's concoction because I'm a definite lightweight and like things with juice. But on to more yummy things!\n\nFirst to come out was the salumi tasting board. From top, clockwise and the center on my photo: speck (a smoked proscuitto), mortadella, Proscuitto Di Parma, housemade porchetta, and Finocchiona. All of which are imported from various regions in Italy, except of course the house made porchetta. My favorite? The Finocchiona, a Tuscan salami that is flavored with fennel seeds. De-frickin-licious. The plate is served with grissini, housemade pencil-sized bread sticks, and a plate of crostini, lightly rubbed with garlic and olive oil. When I asked Joe which was his favorite, he said he liked the ham. They're... all technically... ham. What he really meant was the mortadella.\n\nBecause we couldn't have enough of meat... our second dish was the carne cruda Piemontese, essentially chopped beef and otherwise known to us as steak tartare. The Italian version of it though is quite simplified, without addition of Worcestershire, and instead a blend of lemon juice, olive oil, truffle oil, salt and pepper, and topped with grated Parmagiano Reggiano. More specifically Vacche Rosso, a cheese made from and named after the native red cows of northern Italy, richer in flavor and slightly creamier. Whoa. This was good stuff! Cut to order, the carne cruda was beautifully done.\n\nNothing says Italian food than a pasta dish, and with three of them on the menu, it was hard not to pass on it. The egg yolk ravioli came out as a single portion, meant to be cut into to let the yolk meld with the sage butter sauce. And meld it did. Beautiful and with a very slight hint of sourness from the housemade ricotta filling. God. I could eat a gazillion of these. Or maybe 4 is good too... but honestly. So well done.\n\nOur last dish for the night was agnolotti dal plin, an rectangular ravioli \"al plin\" or \"pinched\" to form their distinct shape. Meant to be picked up, dipped in the sage butter sauce, and then into the Parmagiano. Super cute way of eating pasta! Filled with salumi and bread crumbs, the filling was quite light and the thin wrapping really reminded me of the texture of wontons... of course, only I would say such a thing. Great dish if you're with a group of people!\n\nI rue the days that Joe goes to his parents to eat lunch and is too full to try more dishes! It really messes with my eating. But with drinks and four dishes under our belts, both of us were full. The crowd had petered in and out while we were there, most being family and friends, and those in the industry. Chef Costa was out and about chatting and even poured a few Aperol Spritz for some lucky ladies. We were coincidentally sitting beside the designer of the interior, Joe Johnson, who also designed the Corso 32 space and is currently designing the neighboring space for the third restaurant. The design was based around a gorgeous proscuitto slicer (pictured, above Chef Costa's hand!), a centerpiece of the restaurant although unbeknownst to us when we entered the restaurant.\n\nTip: Seat yourself at the right end of the bar when you enter for prime proscuitto slicing action. Also, there's hooks on the bottom of the bar counter for your jackets and purses. I chose to put my purse on the ground as it was clean for opening, which prompted Joe (the designer, not my Joe) to ask me why I did so. It's not the design, my purse had nearly a kilo of items, I swear. I was reassured that those hooks could manage heavy purses. And don't get too whoozy on wine, there's \"Mr. Clean\"-clean glass walls surrounding the entrance and a glass door enroute to the washrooms. Don't want to walk into those!\n\nCongratulations to Daniel Costa and his team for the opening and thank you for the lovely experience! Looking forward to future visits to Bar Bricco! They're open 6pm-1am Wednesday through Sunday. Parking is a hard find, it's right on Jasper Avenue.",
"Abbreviated review (effort in proportion to wow factor)\n\nHigh expectations, unmet.\n\nCured meat on a plate, condiments extra. Hohum.\nEgg yolk raviolo: spectacular.\nAnchovy walnut Preston crostini. Meh.\nService: over worked and under performing.\n\nWine: well done. \n\nDessert: really? Fudge broken up on a plate? Simple, understated. Underwhelming.\n\nAmbiance: nice at night. Not good at sunset.\n\nWorth a second chance, but not raving.",
"Amazing cheese and wines. I had both prosecco by the glass and it was great. I sat on the bar and the service was great. The atmosphere is perfect for a lounge night. It's pretty dark in there but I don't mind it at all. It gives it a lounge feel. It was a bit warm too but again, I didn't mind it at all. I'm looking forward to going back when the rooftop patio is open.",
"Opening Bar Bricco right next to Corso 32 was a brilliant idea. They are both operated by Daniel Costa but fill very difference niches. You need a reservation well in advance for Corso 32 (unless you can grab a spot via twitter when someone fails to show!) and it is a special occasion kind of restaurant- take your time, order lots and enjoy yourself. In contrast, Bar Bricco offers a menu for snacking and a venue for visiting, no reservations required. I was glad when they changed opening from 6 p.m. to 5 p.m. because my office is right next door and it is easy for me to head down and grab a table! Parking for both locations is a bit tricky because they are right on Jasper Ave but their are some parking lots to the south which are just a few steps away. I found it difficult to locate Corso 32 the first time I went because the exterior signage is subtle (the name is engraved on the glass window. They are between the 7-11 at 104 Street and the Second Cup.\n\nThe tables are the same height as the bar. Sitting at the bar will allow you to watch the staff slice the meat as it is ordered. The bartenders are quite social which also makes it fun.\n\nThis bar offers \"sputini\" which are snacks or appetizers. They have some wonderful pasta selections as well as an excellent variety of meats and cheeses. It is a perfect place to have a drink and a snack with friends. Order everything - it is all great!\n\nThe only complaint I have is that the stools are quite uncomfortable. I'm not sure if they sacrificed comfort for appearance or if they want the stools to be a bit uncomfortable so people don't stay all night!",
"It is great to finally be able to eat food designed by Danny Costa without having to make a reservation seven months in advance :D. I met up with a friend on a weekday evening to enjoy this bar. It's definitely got the vibe of a casual, yet swanky, meeting spot. The service is efficient, the food fantastic and the ambience friendly.\n\nThe Eggs Moliterno are particularly good. I didn't expect to be blown away by eggs! Slow cooked so as to make the eggs velvety smooth. The Piemontese Carne Cruda, an Italian take on beef tartare, was exceptional too. Fresh, good ingredients well executed. Well done. I glanced upon the cheese and charcuterie board and was glad to see some not so common ones on the menu. I can't wait to go back and eat more food at the bar, with a side of delicious Amaro.\n\nHowever, I left hoping they had more than just a few great wines and digestifs on offer. I would much rather spend $13 on a good cocktail than $18 on a Sangiovese. Perhaps this bar is not meant for me? I don't know though - given the recent bar scene in Edmonton, one would expect Bar Bricco to customise to the scene. If it is only a wine bar, then remove the tired and uninspired list of three cocktails from the menu, or else replace them with something cool and trendy.",
"Between all of my summer travels I managed to make it to Bar Bricco, and thank goodness I did because man it was truly AMAZING! I love that Corso 32 opened a little place next door and while I didn't have a lot of luck with Corso I will not deny that their food is AMAZING! Bar Bricco did not disappoint! We started with some amazing wine and shared a couple of plates, including hand made ravioli and an amazing charcuterie plate! Sitting here writing this I am drooling over the ravioli and can't wait to go back! I love that Edmonton is finally starting to get more fun, small, quaint places that serve amazing food! Down with the chain restaurants! I would most definitely come back here, it's small so you best get here early if you want a seat!",
"I went here once last year, and haven't been back yet, but I definitely want to check it out again. \n\nTheir meats and breads are fantastic (I believe I had the speck). The restaurant has such a neat concept and is quite unique to Edmonton restaurants. I also really enjoyed the agnolotti you dip in butter and parmesan... delicious. My sister loved the cheese she got along with one of the honey dips you can add. \n\nI do wish they took reservations, but what can you do? \n\nI do have to mention that I wish the seating was more comfortable. There is nothing wrong with me physically, but my back was hurting by the end of our meal. The chairs are like rock hard barstools and if I recall, they don't even have backs on them. Not good.\n\nI also found it odd that I couldn't just order a pop. Not a huge deal, but sometimes I don't feel like alcohol and I want something different than water... they don't really have much to offer in between. \n\nOverall I definitely recommend the place.",
"We've walked past this no-reservation little brother to Corso 32 at least 3 times during our many visits and walked on as it was simply over subscribed. Tonight, however, it being Boxing Day evening, we were in luck and, having just ordered wine at the bar, were beckoned to our table where a lovely meal was thoroughly enjoyed.\n\nWe each, separately and respectively slurped down a white from the Abruzzo region and a lovely Rose by the glass. Should have bought a bottle.\n\nWe primarily focused on the small plates ordering warm olives that were yummy, prosciutto that was accompanied by the most divine bread, a ricotta-stuffed shell dunked in sage butter and then rolled in grated Parmesan cheese, and, finally, a fennel and pistachio salad tossed in a beautiful vinaigrette.\n\nMore glasses of wine were ordered giving us the courage to loosen our belts and press our gluttony further by ordering honey-drizzled cheese featuring black truffle ribbons that made us weep as we loosened one more notch on our belts.\n\nWe will return to Bar Bricco when next we visit our daughter, son-in-law and beautiful grandson who is perfect in every way.",
"Bar Bricco is my new favourite after work spot for wine and cheese downtown. Get there early to get a table, it fills up fast! Whether at the bar or at a table, you're guaranteed a great selection of cheese, meats and wines. \n\nFavourite things about Bar Bricco:\n-you can order 3 oz glasses of wine, so you can try a few different kinds while still keeping your wits about you\n-you can also do a half meat half cheese platter which has yet to disappoint, offering a great variety in plentiful quantities\n-the ricotta raviolis that you dip in sage butter and then roll in shaved parm... They are melt in your mouth delicious!\n-the focaccia that comes with the meat and cheese platter is so warm and tasty, with a slight bit of coarse salt n top\n\nOk, writing this review is making me want to return. Maybe this week after an especially trying day at work?",
"I love bar bricco! It's small but cozy and great for a more intimate dinner. Their wine selection never disappoints and they have a delicious and eclectic cheese board that is my go to choice."

"This is by far the best local Chinese place in the far Northeast/Somerton area. They are great for large parties and much more inviting after the smoking ban has made the air-quality breathable. The food is all very good. They are known for their clams casino & seafood soup but serve all of the well known Chinese favorites. They have some of the best hot & sour soup in the city. I recommend the sesame chicken or orange beef which are delightfully crispy when served. Their barbecue beef (beef-on-a-stick) appetizer is great as well. The best part is at the end of the meal you are brought a plate of ice cream (made in house) which is garnished with the fortune cookies as well as candied pecans (also made in house).",
"The far Northeast is blessed to have this gem to call its own.\nWhy you ask? Well, simple - Taste King may follow the same old Chinese restaurant formula that most do: Large portions of flavorful food for low price but the big difference here is that Taste King has been doing so for well over 11 years. It has the details down to a science. The owner understand that his business and livelihood relies heavily on large parties brought in regularly by the large Soviet community local to the area and has learned that service, quality and serving size is vital to those patrons.\n\nWhats this mean to the average Yelp er? \n4.5 Star prices for 4.5 Star Chinese food and service.\n\nSo, whats the catch? \nHaving to listen to the occasional group of fifty-year olds with horrendous Russian accents try to sing happy-birthday to a nephew or niece as the child shrinks into their seat wishing death not only upon him or herself but upon his or her entire lineage.\n\nSo is it worth the auditory torment?\nI think so. \nTaste King is the only place i know of in the Northeast my better half and I can split a order of General Tao's Chicken, both have Hot and Sour soup plus get a complimentary plate of ice cream and end paying just over 20$. (tip and all)\n\nNote:\nThe Restaurants highlights really are its seafood dish like its clams casino & seafood soup. I'd suggest trying both. \nO and if you later decide on booking a large party, keep in mind that this place will do more then just what's on the menu, just ask to speak with someone about it. The Chef has talent.",
"I forgot to mention that this place is BYO! Very friendly waiters & owners! :)",
"I absolutely LOVE Taste King. Have been going there for at least 15+ years. The food is always same (meaning the recopies are never change).\n\n Always same friendly staff. You can choose to eat in to take out. No matter which dish you choose from the menu, it always taste great. Good place to also bring company. It is a BYOB",
"I must admit that when I go outside of NYC for a culinary field trip, I am most of the time left disappointed! But, not at Taste Kings!!! A friend of mine, who lives nearby, has taken me to this establishment twice, and both times I leave boasting about how amazing this place is. The outside/inside décor doesn't do this place justice, and for all those skeptics out there, give it at try and you won't be left disappointed! The staff is very friendly, and prices are very low. If you're in the Philly area, make a stop at this place for dinner and definitely order the following: \n\nAppetizers: the stuffed clams are amazing, the scallops, and the vegetable egg roll are all delicious. \n\nEntrée: Chicken with String Beans in a garlic sauce, general Tsao chicken\n\nThey give free dessert, and this place is BYOB! \n\nNo wonder this place is always packed, the people of Philly know what's up!",
"This is by far our very favorite chinese resturant by far. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the service is quick and efficent. DO not waste your time or money going to China town with no parking and over priced food. No need to dine(graze) at the local buffets with the prices at Taste King you can create your own freshly made buffett.",
"Seriously people, is THIS what you call Chinese food? I've had a ton of it all over the country, and for what you pay, they sure don't give a lot (not even in quality). So take your money and get a good meals worth elsewhere.",
"Taste king or as my family calls it, patrick's (owners name) is easily the best Chinese food in the northeast. Great waiters and amazing ribs.",
"I love this place, been eating here since i moved to the neighborhood with my family in 1998!!! waiters and waitstaff are very friendly, prices are reasonable for the yummy food you receive!\nMr.Lee and all the staff are all so very helpful and friendly. This place is a family type atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable. They go out of their way to wait on you and are perfect with big crowds and parties. \nThey did renovations to the restaurant recently and the restaurant is even more customer friendly and appealing to the eyes. \n\nByob so you can't eat that! Will open the wine bottles for you if needed, and supply ice buckets for your tables. I always have a great time here with my family and friends. You get a lot of food for the money spent. I feel like family there with the staff since I've been frequently coming here for the past 20 years! \n\nAll the dishes are great but I'd suggest the house soup which has different veggies in it and meat- it's a meal within itself! The spring rolls are delicious also and the sesame chicken or chicken and broccoli. The pupu platter is also a winner in my family and we usually get about two each- they come with many appetizers that feed about 4-5 people and cost 19.99 each which is a steal!",
"My family has been going to Patrick's ever since they opened. You are always greeted with friendly and knowledgeable staff, who after a while will know exactly what you want before you even order. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. Patrick and Sonny are amazing and they treat their customers like family."

"Very good service. Wait staff was excellent. Nice 2 for one beer special. I had a spicy chicken sandwhich and fries. I also had a salad with a delicious avocado ranch dressing. Yes, its casual dining. But it was close by, and loved the good service, good food, and unfussiness about it.",
"I've been to this Chili's four times. The first three all came with bad service and one with particularly bad food. The most recent time I walked in with my wife during the middle of Sunday lunch, stood awkwardly in the foyer for a full 2 minutes (which felt like an eternity), saw at least 6 servers, (made eye contact over half of them)...and NOBODY came to get us a table. Finally we gave up, walked out, and walked over to Pei Wei (which, as always, proved to be a better dining experience).",
"The food, as usual was good, and the margaritas are the best in town. Allison was great. She was very experienced, and when I left our dining cash for the month there, she turned it in. Not a dime missing.",
"I stopped in and had lunch with a friend today. The place was very clean and my sweet tea glass stayed full.",
"A subset of the chorus with which I sing ends up here after rehearsal most Tuesday nights. With a few exceptions, the service is excellent and they remember our names and drink orders from week to week. \n\nI wish the Chili's chain would add few lighter options....when you just want to nibble but don't need all the fried stuff. but that's not the local store's fault. \n\nWithin the parameters of what Chili's is, this location is a good one!",
"This Chilli's was right next to our hotel when we were looking for apartments in Tennessee so we decided to grab a drink and an appetizer right when we got there since it was literally a three minute walk away and we were tired of being stuck in the car. \n\nThe staff there was so friendly and we enjoyed the food and drinks immensely. Although the food is the same thing you could find out here, the quality seemed better. It tasted like some body actually cooked it!!! Ha ha. \n\nIf you ever get a chance to go there sit at the bar, ask for Jill and tell her that Nina and Daniel sent you! :]",
"Ate there with a friend for lunch. Greeted right away and sat at the bar. Drink order was taken immediately and served. Appetizers came out right away followed by our main course. The restaurant was busy but the staff handle the crowd very well. We had ordered one meal and mentioned that we would split it and they went the extra step and split if for us. The food was great...a lot better than other Chili's I have been to. We will be back!",
"Love this location, the staff is attentive and helpful. And the food is always good. I had the avocado burger which was absolutely delicious. Trying to eat healthier these days and if you take the time to actually read through the menu, finding something to eat is not hard. I really appreciate how our waitress was on top of things, bringing us more chips, water and even a box promptly after asking.",
"Food was good, place is located in a great location however my service sucked!!!\n\nI was feeling sick so we stopped. I ordered the chips & salsa first before ordering so I could get something in my stomach. The salad comes, the meal comes and no chips! My father said his chili was horrible and sent it back. He never does this so it had to be awful. I waited 15 minutes before I ever got any food....They did still bring the chips but they were useless. \n\nThe booth we sat in was cut open and not clean. \n\nVery disappointed.",
"Today the girls and I from the office went for lunch(about 5 of us). We understand it's a busy time for the business lunch crowd, but when we put our order in we waited over 40 minutes to receive our food. The majority of the order was only salads, sandwiches, and an appetizer (which is easy to make). The manager already gave us our lunch for free for being so late, but on top of that, the food was cold and did not include any of our items that said on the menu. Also, before we even asked about our order, the waiter was ingoring us the whole time we were there. Not only did we wait forever, but I am also an hourly employee which when I was out for 1.5 hours! This should never happen and you will never see us again!"

"Champions Sports Bar is located inside the Marriott Downtown Hotel, but also has a separate entrance on Maryland; it effectively functions as the hotel's casual bar, but also draws a good mixed crowd of conventioneers, tourists and locals.\n\nThe service in here the few times I came in here was excellent. The bartenders were friendly, attentive and efficient; the food was good -- certainly for sports-bar standard, the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich is outstanding! -- and the drink and chat flow easily. The combination of booth seating, bar tables and bar seating works very well here, too.\n\nWhen there's a big event in town (as there was this weekend), Champions stays lively until well after midnight, and was a good place to call into for a couple after the shows finished in the late evenings.\n\nA hotel bar that actually has some spunk to it? Who'd have thought...!",
"The food here is surprisingly good. I didn't expect much when I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. The service here is outstanding. The chicken was lean with nice buns and fresh lettuce. \n\nFull bar in the middle of the restaurant with plenty of big screen TV's all over the place. A couple of arcade games to pass the time very convenient if you staying at the Marriot.",
"Friendly McSports-Bar in a convention Hotel....does the trick",
"Pretty good food. Service is quick. Go with the Nachos...big fan of the Nachos.",
"Between sessions at a conference a friend and I had our lunch break at champions. I ordered the fish and chips and she ordered the Cajun chicken pasta. The fish was tasty, but turned mushy pretty quick. My friend's pasta was filling and the perfect amount of spicy. Overall we enjoyed our meal and experience with the staff :)",
"The happy hour M-F 4-6:30 is great for a pre-Indian's Game bite.\nThe menu features $5 nachos, wings, sliders (pork, chicken, or burger), and mini corn dogs. \n\nThere are nightly drink specials. Monday night is $5.50 margaritas (which isn't really that great of a price for your average margarita in a pint glass, if you ask me!) and Coors light/ Miller light pitcher specials (can't remember the price, but once again it didn't seem like a steal)\n\nOn Mondays & Thursdays post-Indian's games they feature $1 pints.. which is great!!\n\nService was friendly but a little on the slow slide. The food for the price was great!",
"Champions is located directly across the street from the Indiana Convention Center, which makes it a first option for anyone attending an event there. It is also connected to the Marriot.\n\nOn our first night in Indianapolis, my frat brothers and I ate here. The food was good. I ordered a BBQ chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Our waitress was a very pretty girl named Sara. My brother was flirting with her the entire night. It didn't result in any free food, but I guess it was fun.\n\nThe drinks seemed a little watered down. The bartender(s) definitely needed to be a little more heavy handed with the spirits. \n\nOverall, if you're in Indianapolis and you're looking for a spot to watch sports and eat good food, Champions is highly recommended. If you want alcoholic beverages, I might recommend going somewhere else.",
"I stopped in to grab a quick beer on 07/18/11 at about 11:45pm. I was staying at the attached Marriott hotel, so I entered through the lobby. There was no greeter, or posted hours, so I tried to grab a seat at the bar. Unfortunately for me, the bar was filled, so I grabbed a nearby table facing the bartender. I figured someone covering the section, or the bartender herself would come over and take care of me. I'm a pretty patient guy, and the bartender was very busy, so I decided to wait. Tow other servers walked past me, made eye contact, and kept moving by. After the third server ignored me, I decided to approach the bartender to order my drink. It was 12:04am. While waiting for the bartender to come around to my side, another server walked by. I asked her, \"Are you guys closed or something?\" She responded that they closed at 12. Frustrated, I walked out. A few minutes later, I came back in and found the server I had spoken with. I explained that I had been ignored for 15 minutes, and I just wanted one beer and I'd be on my way. The bar was still pretty full at this point. The server told me the only person who could help me was the bartender. So, I spoke to the bartender, who was incredibly rude. I asked if I could just get one beer and close out. She said that they were closed and that she couldn't serve me. I told her that I had been sitting out there since 11:45pm waiting for someone to help me. She said, \"No you didn't. I watched you come in at 11:55pm and I had already made last call.\" I explained that in fact I had been there since 11:45pm because I was sending emails on my phone (with time stamps), and I just wanted one beer. She said \"You weren't here that early. I can't serve you.\" No apologies for anything, just a very terrible attitude.\n\nNeedless to say, I won't ever come here again, even though it is attached to my hotel. I'd recommend that you don't either.",
"Over priced, sub par food. Pre-formed burger patties with fake grill marks and packaged fries?? I could have gone to a Wendy's for a third of the price. Really disappointing.",
"Uninspired but the portion sizes are good and its close to the Convention Center. I was staying at the Marriott Downtown so this was good for the late nights when I needed a bite to eat and didn't want to go out."

"I knew I liked this place when our waitress Brooke took my credit card and stuffed it in her bra for safekeeping during the 15 foot journey from our table to the cash register. The Miller Light girls were there too, handing out free beers and laying waste to male ego's in Wii games of basketball. \nThe food was standard pub food, the beer was cold and everyone there was having a good time. A wonderful low-key place to start off the night with the boys.",
"Corner Pub Midtown, or \"CP2\" as we like to call it (because of it's sister bar, the original Corner Pub in Green Hills) is a great place to meet after work for happy hour, to watch any sporting event, or just to go for a great hot turkey sandwich. \n\nIt's not a stuffy, ultra smoky bar--windows all around, and when the weather is nice they open them fully so it's like the entire bar is a patio. Multiple TVs so anywhere you sit has a good view. Large, non-cramped bar. Cold beer. Acoustic music on occasion. And, you'll usually spot some sort of Music City celeb there, be it a Titans or Preds player or any number of musicians. \n\nEasy-going place, go there to sit back and relax with a cold drink.",
"Not a fan. I can think of a thousand places I'd rather go than Corner Pub at Midtown. It has a dirty feel to me. Now, I don't expect a bar, especially one know for cheap beer and great happy hour specials (two for one), to be whistle clean. But this place just had a feel to it that I didn't like. Pretty dingy.\n\nAs I mentioned, they do have great happy hour specials. So do lots of places. The food is just OK. Again, if I want bar food, like gooey quesadillas and great chicken fingers, I'll go to a list of other spots around town. I've never been when it's been live music night. I hear the folks playing are actually pretty good. I doubt I'll ever find out.\n\nThe crowd there was not my speed. Pretty much a biker bar. Nothing wrong with bikers, but I'm just going to mosey elsewhere next time I want a drink with friends in the Midtown area.",
"No matter what time of day you head into Corner Pub there will undoubtedly be a bunch of middle aged men hanging out at the bar, why you ask? I'm guessing its because if your not blonde and well endowed you don't get hired at Corner Pub. Regardless I do like the 2-4-1 drink specials, and manage to usually hide from their usual crowd and 'bubbly' waitresses in a corner booth. The food is actually not bad, and they also make some mean fried pickles. Aside from the middle aged bar flies, the proximity to Vandy makes it a popular college student hang out. They do have TVs and beer, so if you are looking for a place to watch a game, this might be a good spot. Corner Pub is the kind of place I end up out of convenience but don't really seek out.",
"I've been here a couple of times for lunch and always enjoyed it. If you're trying to eat healthy or stay on a diet, probably not your place. They have great bar food - burgers, fried chicken, fries. I like their ranch as well, good for dipping. I think this is one of those places where you're safe with pretty much anything fried. \n\nI've always found the service to be good, although sometimes you get stuck in a table that feels like you're in everyone's way.",
"Nothing really special, but not too bad. Kind of a typical sports bar near a college type place. I will have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. I ordered the spicy chicken chunks not really expecting much, but was pleased to find that they were fresh and very tasty. I don't know if I would make this a regular stop, but if you are in the mood for some beer, sports, and good simple food you could do a lot worse.",
"This is a great little bar to watch sports, get friendly service (with the exception of a couple), and to enjoy killer food! The kitchen in this place is amazing and is open for lunch. Monday for lunch they smoke ribs in an old fashioned smoker-they have chicken and wings and they are truly to die for. \n\nIf you do go on a game day, make sure you get their fairly early as their seating can not accomodate a large mass. It is smoking and has a full bar. If you are ordering a drink at the bar, go to Doc and if you are at a table, so if you can get Rachel or Janikee. Both are great.\n\nStay away fro the CHEESE DIP AND SUBSTITUTE IT FOR THE SALSA, which is handmade and amazing. The Hot chicken chunks are my favorite (chicken chunks fried golden brown with a hot spicy kick) but do awknowledge they will tear your stomach up--but they are sooo worht it!",
"We had lunch here Saturday while exploring the neighborhood.\n\nIn Chicago it is not warm enough to eat outside for very many months out of the year, so I love anyplace with giant open windows or outdoor seating.\n\nWe came in on a nice sunny day, and sat by an open window. The place was kinda empty, but there were still a few other tables filled.\n\nThere were some Chelsea fans watching an EPL game, which impressed me. There were different sports shown on all of the different tvs.\n\nWe really just wanted somewhere to sit and eat. I had a delicious berry limeade drink that was nice and refreshing.\n\nFor lunch our party of 3 had 2 salmon salads and a catfish po boy sandwich. Everything looked great. The waitress didn't even flip out when we each altered our meals.",
"The perfect Bar for Lunch in Midtown\n\nMost of the reviews are about after work, happy hour- and all that of course is great. However their food is actually made in house and though its mostly fried and unhealthy- it's delicious! Most of the sandwiches are great and their onion rings are fantastic! If you need a beer over lunch and want a quality greasy spoon in a laid back environment then this is your place. \n\nAnother perk: It's 21 and up so during such things like CMA Music Fest you can lunch there and know the tourists can't bring their kids!\n\nAlso, as of the last time I was there a few months ago you could smoke inside- that may be a dealbreaker or a reason to go, either way I thought I'd mention.",
"Please, everyone, DO NOT GO TO CORNER PUB. Of all the bars in the area, there is no reason to choose Corner Pub over the others. Some better ideas: Broadway Brewhouse, Winners, Losers, Rack Room, Melrose, etc. Just please don't go to Corner Pub. They don't deserve your business. \n\nThe manager's name is Jeff and he is NOT good at his job. Since a waitress never took our order after about 40 minutes of waiting (we had to order at the bar instead), I asked another waiter if she could send the manager over to our table. So she did, and it was not a pleasant experience, to say the least. Instead of apologizing, Jeff was a defensive schmuck from the get-go and was extremely patronizing. After about a 5-minute conversation, he called my friend a \"motherf-er\" and asked us to leave the bar. What kind of customer service manager calls their customers names, much less curses at them? Obviously, that's quite offensive. So we left and he sent the bouncer to follow us out. That's right, he sent the 6'5\" and 240 lb. bouncer to follow three sober and insulted customers out of the place, presumably to make a scene. What a douche!\n\nTo be fair, I don't think Jeff is used to solving real problems and I understand that you can only expect so much from a middle-aged country bumpkin who runs a sports bar. His communication skills are clearly lacking and I'm sensitive to that. I'm sure he usually offers a free shot and the problem goes away. He also might have had a terrible week and took it out on us. Regardless, you can't curse at your customers and get away with it. That's just not okay.\n\nAs a fellow consumer, please don't give them business. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!"

"Good prices, good food. Will definitely be going back. Everything was hot and fresh. We got takeout, but the restaurant itself looked very clean.",
"Good prices and they were super quick for delivery! I ordered 2 cucumber rolls with cream cheese. They were quite tasty and they were huge! 16 pieces per roll. The chicken lo mein was also quite yummy. Crab Wontons were delish!",
"The food was delicious. It was my first time bring there and the staff helped me in making my choices and they were to die for.",
"Attempted to order dinner last night. My wife called and confirmed that they did indeed deliver prior to our ordering. Two entrees and an appetizer - nothing crazy prices were good reviews seemed great for this place at the time of this review. Unfortunately for us it was over 90 minutes since we placed our order that I started to realize that I might be starving tonight. What boggles my mind that most it that the delivery driver texting us 40 minutes into our long wait to confirm the delivery address. It should also be noted that we are2 miles away from the restaurant. At this point 90 minutes in I'm not sure what we'll be getting but I can guarantee it won't be hot. We called the restaurant - who in their defense - tried to make things right by guaranteeing our food will be there in 5 minutes after talking to their driver and that they would reduce the price almost in half and assuming it was cold, it'd be free. I know I know free cold food what a deal right? Anyways we waited 15 minutes without the driver showing up before we ultimately called and canceled. Lady on the other end of the phone at the restaurant was unapologetic and honestly kind of a jerk that I finally gave up after almost 2 hours on a 30-40 min quoted delivery time. Not recommended if you're hungry or intend on eating within the course of a feature film -maybe worth trying to eat in though? Who knows?! good luck if you're brave enough to give it a whirl but from here on out this place is dead to me.",
"Decently fast delivery, cheese wontons and sushi was amazing! This will now be my go-to delivery chinese/sushi place!",
"Fast delivery and they called twice, once when leaving and once when they arrived. The food was great. The portions were large on both the appetizers and the entrees.",
"Looking for a Chinese/Japanese place that delivers to St. Francis Hospital, we decided on Atami Grill and Sushi Express. Decent reviews. I'll add mine on the good side. \n The General Tso combination plate came with a nicely spicy but not too spicy sauce (I ordered medium; plenty of spice) as well as very good fried rice. (Not all fried rices are equal...) Just last weekend a friend and I were lamenting the skimpy servings of broccoli you get at most places these days. Atami included three large perfectly steamed florets. A winner. \n The crab cheese wontons were large and very full, among the best I've ever had. \n A shrimp roll was also full and fresh, but a trifle overdone. \n Pork egg rolls came with each combination plate; they were good (and not overdone).\n Two vegetable rolls were added as a side dish. Other places call them spring rolls, really tasty. \n The pork egg foo young was ordered with extra gravy on the side to be safe. Egg foo young is one of my favorite Chinese dishes (my daughter calls it \"egg foo yuck\"). This was as good as any I've had. The \"gravy\" wasn't like normal gravy but was a rich, soy flavored gravy. Really good. \n On the Japanese side, we ordered the crunchy tempura shrimp roll. I don't usually order sushi, so I'm certainly not an expert. It was good, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to order it. \n Both meals also had chicken rice soup. We thought about ordering another of the seven soups, but we both wanted chicken rice. Nice broth, lots of rice, scallions and strips of chicken made this soup a winner. I added a touch of soy sauce to mine. Wonderful. \n For dessert, 10 Chinese sugar donuts for $3.75 would be the perfect end to a wonderful meal except the donuts smelled like egg rolls. I guess they don't sell enough to make it worth using separate oil?\n Lots of food. Two combination platters plus sides = plenty of food for 3-4 hungry adults.\n Atami. Well worth the effort.",
"The food was fantastic! The rice was on point and the General Tso chicken was amazing! Delivery was on time and I'm glad they can deliver to my house!",
"Fast delivery and food was excellent.\nI ordered sushi and wonton soup. Enjoyed my meal. Can't wait to try more of the food on the menu",
"This review is for the pre-made sushi (in a refrigerated case at lunch time) only.\nThe Salmon Avocado Roll (Alaskan) was excellent but the Phoenix roll (Tuna outside was fine, inside - not so fresh) was not as fresh as it should be.\n\nIn the mean time, so far, so good and I may return to try some cooked items.\n\n$3.50 for the Alaskan Roll (It's $5 on the menu) and $6.75 for the Phoenix - which I will not order again."

"Charming reasonably priced South Philly BYO. The bill for appetizers, entrees (including two specials) and dessert came to just over $100 for three people. Excellent Southern Italian food and lovely presentation. The caprese salads were stacked and beatiful. Our smoked mozzarella and crabmeat appetizer was delicious, with a port wine reduction. The marinated octopus was less exciting -- it needed an acid, like a lemon juice, to add interest.\n\nThe menu features a nice mix of classics and and innovation, particularly in the specials, and the meats and fish (I had the branzino, my friend had the veal special with gorgonzola, and my husband had a chicken and pasta dish) were all perfectly prepared. My only complaint is that the service wasn't all it could be, hence the four stars.",
"I had dinner here with my friends after a shopping trip for Halloween. everyone was tired and starved so i decided to go to a closest place. Well, i have a salad and a grilled calamari which were good. My Friends complained that they were salty but overall i think the meal was OK. The price is reasonable and the location is not hard to place. This place have a modern Italian twist not very cozy but nice and have enough space for you to not eavesdrop whatever the people sitting in the next table talking about. I would give this place 3.5 stars but i can't. A 4 stars is not fair cuz three of my friends were not happy with their meals.",
"This place is literally right down the street from our apartment, so I was surprised when my boyfriend sent me a link to this page and I had never heard of it before! We ended up going there last night with his family and had a great dinner. Good atmosphere- almost all the tables were full. I had the mushroom soup and the Linguine Valentino- both delicious. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it wasn't exceptional. The dishes are very simple, but that's what makes for good Italian food anyway. About $30 a head for appetizer/main entree plus BYOB, always a plus.",
"Cute small spot, though they've since expanded. Food was okay, but the highlight was the tiramisu. Definitely worth going back just for that!",
"Almost a very good restaurant. First of all (and this may sound weird) but we got BREAD!! I haven't been served bread before dinner at a restaurant in ages. V. much appreciated.\nNow that I got that out of my system, the bruschetta was underwhelming and the fried zucchini just awful. It was cold and limp and when we asked for marinara sauce that came out cold too.\nMy seafood pasta (dinner special) was pretty good. The lump crab meat was delicious, but the clams were a bit chewy. The homemade squid ink pasta was very tasty, as was the tiramisu dessert.\nOverall, an ok experience, and willing to give it another go.",
"From the top... I wanted this to be five stars, I really did. The wait staff was very attentive and informative. The waiter helped with the incredibly tough decision between all the great sounding pastas. Wound up going with Gnocchi with shrimp and pink vodka sauce. Holy schnikes that was good. The home made gnocchi was absolutely delicious. The shrimp was maybe a tad undercooked, but that's just nit picky. Sauce was delicious too.\n\nPerhaps the biggest downer was the bread. It was hard, dry and overcooked. Walking out of the place another table had much better looking bread. Had their been total bread equity this would have been an easy five. For the price you can't do much better, and I'm very likely going to be a repeat customer. Eat with confidence!!",
"Besides the delicious gnocchi, I loved the complimentary limoncello. Get the cannoli if you're in the mood for something sweet... You won't regret it. Prices= very affordable, waitstaff=accomodating. overall a great dining experience.",
"This is my husband's and my go-to byo. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. The food is simple but never disappointing. Last visit I had parpadalle with brussel sprouts, pine nuts and Parmesan. It was so light and delicious! \n\nThe waitstaff is always friendly and accommodating. Now that the weather is nice they have added some outdoors seating. \n\nMy only complaint is that they have gotten a bit pricey recently. Boo.",
"after many a years of higher education, i am done.\n\nand where to celebrate done-ness other than the upstairs of caffe valentino?\nput together too much byo alcohol, about 30 residents, a smattering of attendings, significant others, nerdy home-made videos, and a white baby grand piano...and really, you've got yourself quite the shin-dig.\n\nthe pluses-pasta that if i had an italian grandmother, she would approve of.\ncannoli. \nawesome wait staff.\nthe veggies and cheese on the antipasti platter.\nand i have a bias towards their coffee. well, just their coffee maker.\n\nthe minuses: the decor is cheesy, in an italian-ish sort of way. \nit gets way too warm upstairs. \nthe prosciutto... very very meh.\n\ngo. eat too much pasta. and then wait 20 minutes, and have some more. trust me, you won't regret it.",
"I have eaten here twice and both times have been nothing short of wonderful.\n\nThe first time going in was slightly confusing, the server would ask questions and I would sit there trying to figure out what he had said without looking like a total idiot. Myself not being used to hearing authentic 'fresh off the boat' Italian accents, and not being such a master of my own English language, I was a little befuddled. However, noticing my obvious confusing the server-taking no offense-respectfully slowed down his question so that I could better understand...\"would you like some water?\"....ahh...yes. This confusing interaction did not take away from the experience, in fact it added to it. There was something refreshing about eating at an Italian restaurant and having a hard time understanding real Italian accents. \n\nAgain, my knowledge of Italian anything falls fairly short, but the food was amazing. I may not know much, but this wasn't some old run of the mill food you'll get at Maggiano's, or generic plates you'll see at Olive Garden. This was even better than some of the food I have had at smaller places up and down the Italian Market (where I happen to work). I was impressed, and my stomach was pleased.\n\n****NOTE, BYOB, and doesn't charge a corking fee."

"Siam Orchid made a bad situation great and handled it perfectly. I've also found my new favorite Thai restaurant. I feel that how a business handles adversity is the best measure of their quality, and these guys did great.\n\nSiam Orchid is a pretty new startup near Fairview and Maple Grove. Having passed by a few times, my fiancée, her parents, and I decided to give it a go. I dropped by and picked up a to-go menu, and later called in an order. We were quoted 25 minutes, showed up at 25 minutes, and it was done. The interior looked great and the service was prompt, friendly, and courteous.\n\nWe take the food home and find out it's wrong. All of it. Every dish is completely the wrong thing...but with the right meat. Something is up. We call up and explain the problem. We had ordered by the numbers and, comparing menus, we realize their menu doesn't match our menu. We live literally a couple of minutes down the road so we just swing by to straighten it out. It turns out the chef has made multiple revisions to the menu and we picked up an old version. Everything is 1-3 numbers off between the two, so what we thought we were ordering and what they thought we were ordering were entirely different. They say they'll remake everything within ten minutes and, due to the inconvenience, tell us to keep the old food and also offer us free soup, drinks, and sushi while we wait. Awesome! \n\nWe're brought miso soup and...well, it's miso soup. It's not bad, it's not great. It's run-of-the-mill miso soup. We're made a spicy tuna roll and it's great, flavorful with notes of green onion and sesame oil, and spicy but not too spicy. Oh, it's also in the shape of a heart, check out the picture I uploaded. Double props for giving us real chopsticks, not those crappy little pull apart ones. I'm brought possibly the largest Thai iced tea I've ever seen. It was admittedly a little sweet for my taste but, again, the flavor is superb. Even my fiancée, who doesn't like Thai iced tea and isn't too fond of sweet things, enjoyed it. After about 10 minutes, our now correct order is brought out and we take it home. We now have 8 entrees instead of 4, so we're in for a fairly extensive sampling of Siam Orchid's cuisine.\n\n\nSimply put, the food is fantastic. First off, and impressively so, spicy there is actually spicy. My fiancée, being from Houston, has been disappointed in \"Boise spicy\". It's like medium for most parts of the country. At Siam Orchid, if you ask for spicy, you get it, and not just \"burns your face off\" spicy. Increasing the spice actually comes with more flavor. I had the lahd nah, also known as rad nah, which is broad noodles with a sweet gravy and vegetables. It was admittedly different than I'm used to: the gravy was more flavorful, less sweet, and spicier than most of the rad nahs I've had before. My fiancée had the spicy Thai style basil with tofu, which tasted great. Her father ate the entire serving of gai yang, a Thai grilled chicken, in a single sitting. Half of a good sized chicken. It was that good. We grazed over the rest of it, including avocado fresh rolls (amazing!), fried calamari, and crystal fried rice, and didn't have a single disappointing experience.\n\nNow, even though this place is awesome, there are a few things they need to fix. Consider going with alphanumeric designations for your menu (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc) instead of just a straight list of numbers. 57 and 67 sound practically the same on the phone and it'll cause you to have to spell it out if you want to be sure. Second, you REALLY need a website! Online presence is important now and, sad to say, you don't really have any past a Facebook page that I actually had to dig to find. Past that, you're doing great. Boise just needs to give you a try.\n\ntl;dr: Give this place a try. It's awesome, you won't regret it.",
"Best Thai food in Boise!!! My husband and I ordered the spring rolls and Pad Thai and both were super fresh and delicious! The restaurant is very clean, beautifully decorated, and has a great ambiance with the water fountain trickling in the background. The staff was attentive and friendly, and the owner Eddy was awesome and went out of his way to make us feel like valued customers which was really sweet. We will definitely be back! If you like great Thai food or sushi, do yourself a favor and go check it out!",
"Just happened to notice this please a few days ago, Thai and sushi in the same place. Take my money!!\n\nGolf and Eddie are awesome. Making sure you like your food and are happy with it. They gave us s few things to try, and didn't charge us for it.\n\nGood hand rolls, nori was nice and crisp. Nigiri was great. Rolls were decent, but I usually don't like them anyway. Thai chicken dish was awesome. Love the cucumber salad. \n\nPrices are the lowest in the valley, and the food is close to on par with Kyoto and Fujiyama.\n\nI'm planning on what to get on my next visit.",
"Welcoming, serene, sparkling space artfully cobbled from a beat up strip mall location formerly home to Boise's only (now defunct) Filipino restaurant as well as a natural foods cafe. We have been in twice to sample lunch and dinner and we look forward to eating our way through the menu! By far the best SE Asian food we've had in Boise and as good as some of the best we'd had elsewhere. \n\nSERVICE\nThe food can be slow to come out of the kitchen even when there are few diners. Servers are super friendly but there sometime seems a tag team approach borne not of plan but in the way of some are not sure of what the others have just done or what is on the menu. That said, this is a new place and these delightful folks will smooth processes out as they go. The food is the thing here. Go with patience in mind and your taste buds will thank you.\n\nA FAMILY AFFAIR\nI'm normally not a fan of restaurants that mix Asian foods, like Sushi and Thai. One Asian cuisine, with all the nuances and technique, is hard enough to get right. But our delightful server told us this came to be because her dad is the sushi chef and her uncle the Thai food chef. We didn't try sushi but from the steady stream of men that came to sit on the handful of high stools at the sushi counter it seemed several were already regulars. The sushi we saw being walked by our table while as we savored a terrific Thai meal looked beautiful if that is any measure. \n\nMENUS\nWeekdays there is a lunch specials menu served until 3p. About a dozen options, each only $8 and the service includes soup or salad, spring roll, rice (except with noodle dishes) and entree. They have recently decreased the number of offerings on the dinner menu based on diner feedback there were too many options. From my view, there are never too many options on a Thai menu. But it will be interesting to see how this evolves for what stays. You can order from the dinner menu at lunch if you ask for it.\n\nFOOD\nDinner menu prices run from $12 to $15 for main dish items, as I recall, so this is in the moderate price range. Not having acquired the skill to order Thai dishes in the 'sum rap' pitch perfect combinations that folks who grew up eating at a Thai family table would know to do, we ordered Thai dumplings, Khao Soi and a spicy duck and noodle soup that included a perfect few crispy baby kale leaves. All were excellent flavors.\n\nThey make wonderful Khao Soi ($12). Yahoo! This mostly Burmese origin dish is not on the menu but the owner posted a photo on Yelp and if you know to ask for it because you saw the photo, they will make it. Do yourself a favor and ask. Siam Orchid's Khao Soi is unique from all others we've tried in that it includes one perfectly hard boiled egg, cut in half, and a big dice of raw red onion sprinkled across the top, neither of which we've ever had elsewhere.\n\nOf the three we wouldn't order the duck soup again only because the once crispy skin on the sliced duck gets soft as it steeps in the splendid spicy broth. Noting they have crispy duck on the menu that will be a choice for another time.\n\nHEAT\nHeat levels run from 1 to 5. Each Thai kitchen interprets differently and here we find 2 is just right for me, normally a 3 kinda girl, and satisfies even for my spice-heat lovin' hubby who would ask for 4 in most places. Plan accordingly.\n\nLIBATIONS\nLimited list of beverages. No hot SE Asian coffee, like a Vietnamese coffee, although iced Thai coffee and tea were both on menu. Our happy surprise was a split of Italian sparkling wine,Il' Ugo which was infused with elderflower for just a bit of sweetness. The low alcohol (8%) and a nice acid balance was just right with our Thai dishes. That said, I'd deny I had this wine were I in serious wine company. ;-)\n\nTHIS N THAT:\n\n1) Parking: The strip mall where this is located has a big parking lot, decrepit but big.\n\n2) Accessibility: One spot of parking marked wheelchair accessible but it lacks a striped access aisle for wheelchair van users. It fails Federal and state codes. Curb cut. Level in the door. Standard height tables. Accessible Loo but tight squeeze to get to it.\n\n3) Diners: On a Saturday visit about half the diners were speaking Asian languages with each other and the staff. That suggested authenticity to me.\n\n4) Hours: Closed 3 - 5 on weekdays. Open straight through on weekends.",
"Love it!!!! Best tom yum soup!!! We got pad see ew and red curry sooooo delicious!! The servers are still learning the menu but they are all super nice and very attentive!! Would definitely come back again and again!!!!",
"Ok, I love Thai food, maybe because I've live in Thailand our that my wife is from Thailand and cooks Thai food. What ever the case, I love Siam Orchid Restaurant. New Thai restaurant on fairview near maplegrove, the Decor and the friendly staff are great but the food is sooo good. Try the beef salad and the noodle soups, don't forget it's a sushi bar too. I like most of the Thai restaurants in the valley but I will have to put Siam orchid as one of the top Thai restaurants. I have been to it's sister store in Pendleton OR and the quality and attention to detail are duplicated in Boise.",
"Super friendly staff, fast service, great food! We were slightly put off by the fact that there were no cars in the parking lot but once we entered the establishment our worries were put to rest! The atmosphere is relaxed, the space is clean and well decorated. The food comes tastefully garnished and looks amazing. Fresh veggies graced my pad sew ew and tasted amazing for it! Do yourself a favor and drop in for a taste!!!",
"Amazing!! This was my first time eating at Siam Orchid and I am hooked! It's very cozy, clean, and everyone is extremely friendly. I ordered a spicy tuna roll, Spicy Thai Basil w/ Beef (4 stars on the heat), and a Sapporo. The sushi was fresh, the Spicy Thai Basil w/ Beef was the best I've had, and the beer was ice cold. Thank you for the great meal and friendly service, I will be back soon. :-)",
"Excellent dinner! Tried it all. Started with Rangoons, perfectly done with tasty sauce. Fresh sushi roll with a surprising new twist on the cucumber roll topped with tobiko. Flavorful shrimp Pad Thai and Penang curry. Sushi chef and owners came to the tables to greet us and asked how we liked our meal.",
"Worst Thai ever. I eat very spicy food daily, my order was so spicy my East Indian husband couldn't eat it! The appetizer took 45 minutes to come out and was supposed to be vegetable tempura, it was vegetables, and about 10x too much weird oily American breading. It was awful! We didn't eat more than 10%\nBetween the two of us, and it was $40. \nThe server didn't speak enough English to serve by a long long long shot. There were at least 4 people working but it seems like they were only there to translate for the one server. We both felt sick after eating too!"

"Pin up decor, pin up waitstaff...no complaints there!d\n\nActually, I have zero complaints about Breakfast Club at all. Service was prompt and abundant....odd in a way....like all staff actually believe in, and support the restaurant. Prices were average for breakfast ($7 - $8/plate).\n\nOn this visit I opted for the corned beef hash plate. Hash was crisp and flavorful. I would have preferred a bit more crispness to the potatoes - but they were flavorful nonetheless, and this is definitely not a deal breaker in my book.\n\nI will be back!",
"Just had breakfast here after a MTB ride. The restaurant is small but very nice, I love the airbrushed pinup girl art!!! The patio was perfect. There is something special about the bacon here, I could smell the smoke flavor on my hands after breakfast!! It's a must try!!",
"Had lunch here today. Everything was fantastic. We shared a Onion Loaf...highly recommended! I had a bacon cheeseburger...it was really big. The french fries were plentiful, crispy and delicious and the cloeslaw was really good. Great staff and food. Can't wait to try breakfast.",
"Decided to try it out for breakfast this morning at the suggestion of a friend. Glad we did. Very cool, funky vibe. It was over 100 degrees by 9 this morning and when we got there at 11, it was scorching out. Restaurant is a little warm and our first table was right next to the big garage door window and was therefore not comfortable. The owner (I'm assuming) suggested we move to a different part and it was much better. We ordered the corned beef hash, French toast with bananas, biscuits/gravy, and the apple-pecan pancake. The French toast was excellent. Corned beef was nothing special (little too done and dry). The biscuit was freshly made, gravy was a little salty and watery but good nonetheless. The apple-pecan pancake was decadent, sweet, melt-in-your mouth goodness. I was especially happy to see them use chopped, fresh green apples so that they retained their crunchiness. Glad I opted for the half portion since it was about all I could handle for sweetness. \nYou could tell they opened recently as they are REALLY happy to see you come in. ALL were very friendly and welcoming!! They have a young daughter hostessing and helping out which is pretty neat to see now days. \nWe will definitely go back.",
"Sadly this is not somewhere I will be going again. Tucson needs good breakfast places and I was so sad that the food here was not something I would want to try again. The atmosphere was fun...pin up girls ect. The waitress (Christina) was helpful and quick but the coffee was burned and so was the gravy on the biscuits and gravy (oh and the biscuits were hard). I ordered a pancake and asked for a side of peanut butter, there was nothing special about the pancake, it had very little flavor at all. They had no peanut butter and had no real butter! My friend did order the banana nut pancake and he did say that was good. Maybe it was just a fluke but probably won't return.",
"Medium sized menu includes biscuits and gravy, eggs done your way in tortilla, omelette or regular edition and pancakes. Great service, fun vibe and lots of free parking. We will be back!",
"Sadly I cannot say much that is positive about our visit. Although our waitress was very pleasant that is about the only good thing about our experience. I ordered a veggie scramble that came out as an omelet and was missing at least half the veggies that were supposed to be in the scramble. Not to mention the size of the scramble was barely enough to feed a child. Also we asked for fruit instead of potatoes and we were told they only had apples because they were out of fruit. The entire meal had little or no flavor which we found very odd. Thank goodness for hot sauce. I had read previous reviews and was hoping that this could be a new breakfast place for me to frequent. Maybe it was just an off day or the chef didn't know what salt and pepper was? I just thought the owners may want to know about our experience today.",
"Just got here. Sitting outside on a beautiful morning with several friends. I'm looking forward to this experience, as I've been told it's the best breakfast in Tucson. The waitress is wonderful. She says they will accommodate my appetite but that the cooks have a hard time with the word, \"small\". She ain't kidding! I ordered 1 egg, over medium, 2 pieces of bacon and small pancake. $5, no problem. I also asked for a cup of coffee with honey. I had to ask 3 times from other waitstaff for the honey because I hate it when the coffee is cold after the honey arrives. When the egg arrived it was 2 eggs, and they were not over medium. I actually don't know what they were, but they somehow got the yellows hard and the white runny. How do you do that? I sent them back and when they arrived the 2nd time, they were good. Then the small pancake arrived. HOLY SMOKES! It was the size of a medium pizza!!! It was a good pancake and I asked for butter, but it arrived about 10 min. later and the pancake was cold by then. The good news is that the pancake didn't really need the butter. The honey I asked for from the first waitress also arrived after the butter, about 45 minutes after I asked for it the first time. She was REALLY nice, and her daughters were helping out with the tables, everyone was really sweet but things were missed.\n\nOne BIG problem with sitting outside was the panhandler that was constantly talking to us. It was a distraction to our conversation and the management didn't do anything about it. He was trying to sell us \"Coach\" bags. \n\nThe food was okay...the pancake was good but not as good as Bobo's in my opinion, and they clearly had 2 cooks, one experienced, one not so much. The eggs are still a mystery to me.",
"Came in for breakfast for the first time. The food and service were good. Danny the owner is a trip. Ordered the chicken fried bacon and was not a fan. Danny brought me over a plate of regular bacon and more toast. The bacon was awesome. Another table ordered their apple, banana, pecan and cinnamon pancake, they ordered the small. I asked the girl to tell me if she liked it and she gave me a portion of her pancake. The small is on a 12\" pizza pan. I now know what I am ordering the next time I go. The pancake was awesome. Danny was going to bring me a waffle to try but we had to leave otherwise I think he would have kept bringing out food. HAHA. Danny had a good thing going let's hope he keeps it up.",
"Love this restaurant but I'm always hesitant to go back and changed my mind on several occasion. I've been several times because the food is great. But there are positive and negative aspects of my visits.\n\nThe biggest issue I have is the poor ventilation of the restaurant. If I do decide to go in for breakfast, i bring clothes to change into. I believe the problem is not only with poor ventilation but the fact that there's no division between the kitchen and dining area doesn't help either. I would have thought this would have been addressed during the remodel... Also, I'm not sure but i believe that in order to get to the restrooms, you have to go through the kitchen?...\n\nLeaving with the smell is a huge problem for me.\nThe food is made fresh and from scratch from what can tell. which makes for a good breakfast. And if you get there before 8am, they have good $2 specials. I would warn that in my opinion, some menu items are overpriced. Example, on one visit i ordered the corn beef n hash, which was made fresh, but was way more hash than corn beef! I don't usually pay $8 for a plate of potatoes....! \n\nI enjoy their pancakes but have been tempted to bring my own butter because they offer rock hard butter which is hard to spread because it doesn't melt on the pancakes. \n\nLove the pin up girl decor and the first few times i joined the Breakfast Club, the waitresses had matching uniforms, red lipstick, and overall old school classy sexy look! Now a days, they seem like they went back to wearing whatever and just seems blah now. \n\nDefinitely a place to visit and see if its the place for you. I would definitely go there every morning for breakfast if they fixed the kitchen smell problem!"

"Stopped in today and accidentally wandered into their soft opening. I haven't been to a Miller's before so I wasn't sure what to expect but whatever it was the staff, food and decor easily surpassed it. The staff at the inside bar was helpful, friendly and fast. There were Tv's everywhere but I was much more than a sports bar and the French dip was excellent. This is a welcome addition to the area",
"Nice causal place to grab a beer and food. Food was good and the staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely be back.",
"Just opened in this area; my first visit here - pretty damn good. I came in on a Monday night, decor & atmosphere was nice & welcoming. Found some elbow room @ the main bar, and was fortunate enough to get Loren as my 'tender.\nShe was friendly, quick, & attentive w/o being overbearing. All the staff I encountered seemed also inclined but she was really nice. The kitchen nailed it too-the place was at least half full yet my food came out fast & fresh. My burger, despite being cooked (correctly) medium-well, was one of the juiciest I've ever had; very savory, rich & smoky, too. \n Didn't feel like a typical chain restaurant experience-food was great & service made the overall impression excellent. Got high hopes for this location & will be back.",
"love the wings it's small but vey nice they did a nice job....the service was great and the workers very nice\n\n\n..",
"Great new sports bar in South Philly! Friendly staff that goes above and beyond for customers. I hope it will remain that way and not only in the beginning like the start of most business. Food is good, drinks are good. Amazing prices! We ordered a to go item after we got our check and got the wrong item when we got home. If it weren't for the wrong menu item, location would have gotten 5 stars. It was not extremely busy so there was no excuse or recovering from that mistake. Overall good experience and will definitely return!",
"Had a great lunch at the bar today. First time visiting this new spot in any of their locations. Our food was really good and Melissa, the bartender, was fantastic. I can't wait to go back again and try more of the menu.",
"Good wings and other bar food, decent attentive service on their first Saturday night. I came back 2 days later for take-out, prompt service, same quality.",
"Dinner was amazing here tonight. Wait was not long and service was quick. We had the calamari, pork shank dish, Saturday's special which was the steak and coconut shrimp, and two pitchers of sangria. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection.",
"The 3 stars is for the low quality of the food. Ingredients make the dish & they use low quality ingredients. Bagged tortilla chips, frozen cooked shrimp, pre made coleslaw & guacamole ect....The best recipes or chefs on earth can't make these items taste good. It is a sports bar with a dining room not a fast casual restaurant as advertised.\nThe service & sports bar vibe however were 5 star. The host was friendly & personable. & Our server was attentive, knowledgeable & professional . There are at least 50 TVs showing every game possible & a lot of great beer/drink specials.\nI will definitely be back to watch sports, drink beer & eat fryer food, because that it what this place excels at.",
"Overall the meal was good and the service was wonderful. However i was a little dissappointed with the advertising. Went on Monday night especially for the BBQ ribs special. The meal was for a rack and a quarter of ribs. My sister and i ordered the same but our meals were quite different. It was obvious that we did not receive a rack and a quarter and it was obvious that i didn't even have a full rack. \n\nNeedless to say i was a little upset. Did i complain, no because i dont like to complain because i dont want food with \"special touch\" so i just go with it. However the ribs were cooked right and they were fall off the bone---just needed some more BBQ sauce. \n\nI do plan on going back, maybe for thr prime rib special"

"I'm always looking for a great BBQ place and I stumbled upon this little gem. The owners are really friendly and the service was great. I ordered the Beef Brisket sandwich and was very pleased. It was very tender, and flavorful and not fatty at all. I know you have to cook brisket with the fat for the flavor but I hate it when the slices are served with too much fat. \nThe sandwich, fries and a refillable drink came to under $10. That's hard to beat.\n\nI can't wait return for a rack of ribs!!!",
"#1 treat in my house... mu husband calls it comfort food... but it just is plain and simply good BBQ! We come everytime we dont want to cook it and for parties too (well sometimes depending on the party)\n\nAlthough the sidws are good I'd rather just get the meat and save a little money that way.",
"This isn't true BBQ, there smoked BBQ isn't even smoked, Mac n cheese has cheap cheese, collards were weak. There was no soul in this food. Typical imitation chain food style BBQ.",
"Real friendly staff and nice lunch special ! But I would stay away from the beef ribs for two reason one they were very salty and second their was little meet on them, you pay $15.00 for 4 of them what a disappointment ! Now the steak chill was not to bad maybe a little more season and the chill would have been great! I am give them 3 stars because of the great service and friendly staff!",
"Yesterday, I found myself at Lumpy's after lunch time. I should have exited the premises when I didn't smell any food. I order 1/2 rack of the St. Louis style ribs with dry rub, macaroni and cheese and collard greens. To begin, I wanted to try both their hot and mild sauce. I was told that the extra sauce would be extra. I told the cashier it was my first time here and I had no basis from which to choose. No, I was not offered a sample. When I asked her what sides she would recommend, she had no opinion. I went with greens and Mac and cheese and was disappointed. Apparently, there us no salt in this place....The greens were meaty and overly sweet. I've never added more than a pinch of sugar to greens, they added 2 cups. The Mac Ana cheese was bland and made with cheap pasta and cheap cheese. Both dishes were beyond help. The ribs were not horrid but mostly bones and they tasted like they had been cooked in the oven. Overall, I'll never go to Lumpy's again, and I recommend you don't either. Save your money.",
"I went here tonight for the first time. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and my girlfriend ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. Both of us enjoyed the sandwiches very much! The sides they come with are a good size. The mac and chesee was good but I feel like the mashed potatoe could benefit from some more salt. Prices weren't bad, overall I enjoyed it and I will be back.",
"Recently ordered from here for lunch. Food was decent for Bbq done in Jersey!! Ribs were done well, pulled pork could've had more flavor and my son liked the brisket. The sweet and tangy wings were meaty, but a little spicier than I expected. Sides were nothing special. Thought the sweet potatoes were watery and reminiscent of baby food. Same with the BBQ beans. The cornbread was good. So why four stars??? Because the service was great!! From the girl who took my order over the phone to the food being delivered within 15 minutes of placing my order!!! It came hot and the delivery guy was friendly!!! Definitely will order again!",
"I love good barbecue, but it can be hard to find it in the Philadelphia area. This isn't the south. Here cheesesteak and pizza places are on every corner, not BBQ joints. Lumpy's BBQ can be literally hard to find. It's easy to accidentally drive right past because it sits in a nondescript shopping center and isn't all that visible from the road. I've passed it a thousand times and never noticed it. I only found it because I was looking up some other local restaurants on Yelp.\n\nHowever, I can happily report that Lumpy's has the best barbecue that I've ever had north of the Mason-Dixon Line. It's a simply decorated place and operates much like most barbecue restaurants. You go the counter to order and you get your own drinks. Your food is brought to your table when it's ready. When we first walked in and saw we were the only diners in the place, we were concerned, but they clearly do a booming take-out business. I was also really excited to find out that they deliver.\n\nWe ordered pork ribs, pulled pork and burnt ends. They were all delicious and served with 2 sauces (hot or mild). The burnt ends were especially delicious. The sides we chose were good, although the mac and cheese was not as good as I would have hoped for.\n\nIn doing some research on my phone on the way home, I read that the owner competed on the BBQ Pitmasters TV show, so when we got home, I immediately bought that episode on iTunes. It made me want to go back for more right away or, better yet, get some delivered!",
"I can only presume the haters work for some other BBQ establishment or something. I've had lots of BBQ in my days. Lumpy's is outstanding.\n\nI've had their pulled pork, ribs and most recently, their burnt ends. Holy cow, the burnt ends. Eating those was like a religious experience. I ordered my burnt ends with the mild sauce, but added a bit of the hot for some extra kick.\n\nFor sides, I had the BBQ beans and cornbread. The beans were so-so, not the best. The cornbread was excellent though.",
"I've had a lot of great barbecue platters from Lumpy's, like their pulled chicken, pulled pork, burnt ends, and chili. All of these options work best with their hot barbeque sauce which has the perfect amount of heat. Burnt ends are probably my favorite option so far.\nTheir sides are usually very lacking and I've tried all of them. However, the corn bread is really tasty and goes perfect with the chili. The mac and cheese is probably their second best option and works really well when combined with the hot barbeque sauce from your platter."

"2 stars for convenience and 1 star for having brown rice as an option other than white. Otherwise, it's your average chinese food place in Langhorne.",
"This Chinese Restaurant is not your ordinary American-Chinese Restaurant. The food is better than other Chinese restaurant in the area (Feasterville, Langhorne area). The owner used to open a restaurant in Chinatown called Joe's Peking House but then he moved to the area. It's pricier than the restaurants in Chinatown but when I feel like eating Chinese food but not the drive, I'd go here instead. The menu selection is not that extensive, you'd get bored after a while but their special is worth to try.",
"Best authentic Chinese food in the area! They even have peking duck!\nTry the Salt and pepper crispy spareribs, panfried crispy noodle with seafood Hong Kong style or the Singapore rice noodle. Delicious!",
"My wife and I lived in Singapore & Malaysia for 2 years and consider it the best food experience we've ever had. Chinatown in Philly has some good food but they seldom measure up to Singapore. We were very surprised and very pleased when foodie friends took us to this modest little restaurant in a small suburban strip mall. We ordered the Roasted Duck, Eggplant in Garlic Sauce and the Green Beans. This is really fabulous Chinese cuisine...closer to Singapore then Chinatown! We now go there regularly to eat-in or take-out and we have never been disappointed. And everyone we have turned on this little jewel has been back again and again.",
"Awful awful food... Got four dishes for take out and threw away all of them. Even the most basic ingredients were stale. Worst food I have ever eaten.",
"China town cafe is our go-to Chinese restaurant. Their food really is as good as China town. I highly recommend the noodle soup, duck, ho fun (w/ sauce on the side), and general tso's.",
"This place beats the pants off of any place here in the suburbs. The owner is friendly and helps with selecting the best choices. A little pricey but getting it fresh in the restaurant is the best and worth the price. Love this place.",
"I'd give it 5 stars for the noodles and wontons. The beef chow fun wide noodles are pretty decent. Also the Singapore noodles are good having a curry flavor. I liked their duck fried rice. The string beans I had were good. A dish I did not like but can't remember the name -but had scallops and shrimp in it with pepper and salt. The scallops tasted like they were not fresh and in fact kind of off. If I had ordered noodles soup and rice dishes only I would have had no reservations giving 5. I see the few reviews here are very low and I would rate higher personally. Btw I served to several adults and kids all whom felt like they had a good meal. (take out). Bottom line, noodles shine here.",
"I highly disagree with any negative review. This guy is the real deal and his food is equally the real deal. The Chinese style wonton awesome. The steamed clams in sauce is excellent. But this guy makes DUCK like no other. I can only find Duck like this down at 10th & Race!!! (CHINATOWN) for rookies... People really need to think before slamming a guy with such a negative.. Thank God I didn't listen to this dope who slammed Chinatown Cafe. I would have missed this little Gem in the Burbs...",
"The food is definitely more expensive then you would expect for a take out Chinese restaurant, but the food is better quality than the average place. Their wontons are phenomenal. They are thin and light and allow the filling to stand out, not like the super thick, doughy wontons you normally get at cheaper places. \n\nWhen we get take out Chinese food, this is the place to go in Langhorne."

"Hmmm. I went here for two reasons. One is a double 5 star review by Christopher R, the other is because it's near where I work and I've ridden by there a number of times on bicycle rides through Riverton and Delanco. It was obviously not one of the usual lousy Spanish /Mexican chain restaurants. Looked interesting.\nWell, first of all, the menu is pretty big, has some vegetarian and lots of seafood choices (I don't eat meat) and the decor is very nice for a small inexpensive place. \nThe service (provided by Franko?) was very friendly and helpful. I had the shrimp Tacos, and they were absolutely perfect. They came with home made sauces which were fantastic. I also had fresh squeezed lemonade, which was perfect - not too sweet like you usually get. \nEverything was quite nice, fresh and perfectly seasoned.",
"Seems to be a family business (read: friendly, fresh food, service can be a little slow). Has been open for a little over a year (~13 months?). \n\nExcellent food. My party had nachos (homemade chips, which are not soggy with oil or burnt - like some of the other places I've eaten at), one set of regular tacos, one set of marinated tacos and a quesadilla. Standard basic fare. We were pleased with the basics and will probably try the whole fried fish next time and branch out a little into some of the less basic dishes. \n\nDrink orders were the sangria soda and homemade lemonade, which was not too strong, definitely fresh, and had subtle hints of some other flavors. Wasn't quite sure what it was. But it's not standard lemonade. \n\nI love steak tacos, but few places do them well, so I usually opt for carnitas. --- will definitely go fully steak next time I'm here. Delicious. \n\nTook a menu. If you call in advance, they'll have stuff ready for you to pick up.",
"Foremost the owner who I assume was Franco was as kind as could be. My friends and I were welcomed quite nicely. The menu is very generic, but it's reasonable. It's got the tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc. The general introductory mexican dishes. I ordered the steak fajitas special. It was very good. Nice portion of rice/beans. The chips ahead of time were stellar. The salsas were great. Only complaint is bescause of extremely slow service we spent probably an extra 30-45 mins waiting in the place being unattended. He did apologize. And I understand, he needs some help in the kitchen. Until then, I'll do pickup because regardless my meal was noteworthy.",
"Great service best taqueria in the area(not much competition). Wish more people would eat-in, most seem to do take-out. So far everything was either a 4 or 5 out of 5.",
"I'll never go back again. Wow from one side of the spectrum to the other .Unlike my first experience the restaurant was apparently missing a cook..Two young kids were running the show who didn't know what the heck was going on. They were so worried about watching Lebron James first game with the heat and playing with the blaring power 99. I asked for a burrito with chicken fried peppers and onions (fajita style and yes i specified that) and whatever else I ordered.What kind of idiots are they? They gave me raw peppers and onions wrapped up in a white flour tortilla of disaster. It could've been good had these fools even gave a smidgen of their attention to us.",
"Awesome! Very friendly, and the food is very fresh and exceptionally good. \nI got the chicken enchilada, and it was everything I wanted and more. Super FRESH!!! \nOther people in our party got beef enchilada, carnita tacos, and carnita burrito. \nEveryone was happy with their meal, and it was very affordable. Forget taco bell, and don pablos, this place is real, clean, and awesome!\nHighly Recommended!!!",
"I was brought here by friend and fellow Yelp!er \"Pamela K.\" who has done nothing but rave about this place for months now. I finally acquiesced and I couldn't be happier that I did. The food is fresh, the restaurant is clean and the service is outstanding. \n\nFirst key to eating on the cheap -- BYOB! Score. \n\nFranco runs the show here. He cooks, serves, and plays gracious host with ease. He treats you like family - lets you know what goodness he has just concocted today (house-made Chipotle sauce on the day I went) and is super-accommodating. I don't eat meat and although there are not a ton of veggie options on the menu Franco will whip you something up to suit your tastes in a heartbeat. \n\nI requested the fried plantains as someone here suggested. They were excellent, thick-cut. I typically like mine a little thinner but these were AWESOME. \n\nAlso, I split an order of fried plantains and had a burrito with beans and rice on the side. Total bill? 9.58. Yep, you read that right. Rachel Ray... bring your \"$40/day\" -- and walk out with change! \n\nAfter eating lots of delicious real Mexican down in Hammonton (migrant workers are particular about their Mexican :) and even some in Philly, I can say that this is one of the best spots around.",
"This is definitely the best Mexican food in South Jersey. I actually met Franco for the first time at the Willingboro farmer's market and he told me to come check out his restaurant in Riverside. \n\nThe restaurant is spotless and is in a lively location near the Riverline station, which is great if you want to BYOB. Franco treats every customer like they are family and the menu has an extensive collection of Mexican along with some Ecuadorian and Brazilian offerings. The service is a little slow but it is definitely worth the little bit of a wait. I've ordered everything from shrimp fajita to churrasco ecuatoriano and they've all been outstanding. I can't wait to go back.",
"Great food, best Mexican in the area. The owner is super nice.",
"Vegetarian review:\n\nAMAZING! Franco, first of all, is just the sweetest guy. He's extremely kind, welcoming & quick to make adjustments for me.\n\nThe food is extremely reasonably priced, everything is always fresh, & he's constantly adding nicer decorations to make his restaurant more inviting.\n\nMy favorite place when I'm home!"

"Reasonable prices on good food and great service! Very impressed with their new location and CLEAN!",
"The food is good, portions are a little in the small side. Excellent beer selection.\nOverall, this is my favorite neighborhood pub. Great place to watch a game.",
"Rudy's is one of our Favorites! Great service, Ice Cold Beer and the best Philly Cheese steak sandwich! Love the deep fried Tater tots and Fry sauce! Love this place! Love Sade too! Great waitress! Thanks Guys!",
"We frequent the Rudys on the south side of town and always have an amazing time. We just stumbled across the N Meridian location this evening on our date night. Food was ok, lettuce wraps were awful. But the service was the worst. If you need anything after your food comes, you'd better be ready to walk and ask for it. Love you Rudy's don't love these waitresses....",
"We LOVE Rudy's on McMillian in Meridian. We are always greeted with warmth & enthusiasm. Our favorite servers, Hana & Crena, make every visit special & fun. They have taken the time to get to know us and make sure our every need is met! Rudy's is our go to for watching sports, great food & beyond great service!",
"Great place to grab a cold drink and some good food. Lots of tvs and a friendly wait staff! We love the sliders!!",
"One of our Favorites! Great Philly Cheese steak! Ice cold Draft Coors Light and ACE Pear Cider! Very refreshing!",
"Thanks but no thanks. Waited 20 minutes for a repeat beer. Owner came over and defended her waitress. SMH I'm done...",
"Went to order to go about 20 min ago. Never had eaten there before so I decided to try it out. Ended up ordering the kids burgers for my boys, and ordered the Kobe beef sliders and came back burnt. If you know how to cook, you don't burn Kobe beef, or any burger. Needless to say I will never eat there again one of the worst places and waste of money.",
"I liked it alot, the prices were good, service was good, food was pretty good, Cole slaw was very salty, Irish cowboy was pretty bland"

"First time at Bambu! The staff is amazing and drinks are delicious! So many things to try on the menu!",
"If you love Vietnamese iced coffee, this is the place to go. They make it strong just how I like my coffee. Their passion fruit green tea, Thai tea, fruit smoothies and #6 is a must try! \nCredit accepted for $10 or more",
"Came here two weeks ago and got the #2 and a strawberry macaroon. The drink was good with all the ingredients and not overly sweet. My daughter enjoyed the macaroon. Came back today and ordered the bambu special #1 (which was $.35 more than all the other drinks). I did not like anything about the drink, it was weird tasting and at some point, bitter. Not only did I not enjoy my drink, the girl cashier was rude and had an attitude. I will never return to this place.",
"It's a must for me!!! I went there today and everything is adorable!! Perfect for me 100% it maybe a little pricey but it's worth it! Thai tea is amazing and the macarons LOVE IT !! Keep it up",
"I've heard so much about this place and I had yet to try it...that is until they opened this second location right by my job. I'm glad I finally tried them out because it was delicious! I love the variety of drinks and Vietnamese dessert drinks \"Che\" that they offer and can't wait to try them all. I tried their #6 dessert drink, \"Che Trai Cay\" which translates into \"fruit dessert drink.\" This cup of deliciousness has lychee, longan, red tapioca, jack fruit, Palm seed, jello, pandan jelly and coconut. It's fresh and not too sweet and quite filling--perfect for a light lunch. The service was super fast and the place is really cute. \n\nI only wish they had some menus I could take with me. Their menu board is quite extensive so I had to stand at the counter for a while to read their entire menu and decide what I want. Hopefully they will print some menus soon. I'll definitely be back soon!",
"I love the drinks and desserts here. My boyfriend and I have frequented twice a week since it opened. However, it lost 2 reviews because of poor customer service, particularly from one. She's really loud and has a bad attitude. I won't mention her name but when you get there and see her, you'll know!!",
"I always come here on my day off and the girl in the front never fails to be such a sweetheart. She always has a smile every time I come in, and always helpful. Today I got the hazelnut Iced coffee with grass jelly. The girl recommended the hazelnut ice coffee instead of the Vietnamese because I wasn't trying to go for something too bitter/strong. I'm glad she recommended that because it's so good, I'm drinking it as I write this review.\n\nI'm waiting on them to give out to go menus to that I can think about what to get before I come in.. My favorite is the number #10! It's not too sweet, yet its so flavorful and so refreshing! The only time I didn't like my drink was when I made up my own drink and it ended up being yucky, I should've listened to the girl at the register because she said that's a weird combination! Haha and trust me, it was! I thought it was the drink I got from Chinatown but I figured I ordered it wrong. I also didn't like their #5 avocado dessert with brick jelly. It wasn't because of the quality or anything, I just didn't like them two together. My dad however, loved the #5, so I guess it's your own personal preferences.\n\nI really don't think it's their fault when people don't enjoy their drinks, after all it is a franchise; I don't think they make up their own combinations. It is what it is on the menu and if you don't want a certain item on it, just tell them and they'll take it out. I did! I think the only things I think they are accountable for are the customer service, and the quality of freshness and also cleanness.. ( Which I never had a problem with.. ) I recommend this place for anyone who wants to stop in and grab a refreshing drink or a delicious dessert! :) \n\n(They have macarons in the front.. My favorite is the Rice Krispie)",
"Really great dessert drinks. Giving it 3 stars bc I found a hair in my pandan jelly. Hey bambu owner, remind your employees to wear hairnets please. \n\nWhatever, it's good che so I'm still going back.",
"A freshly new opened up location that provides the same consistent dessert drink experience as the one in South Philly. While I wish they would expand their drink selection for more non-milk tea drinks, like most of the bubble tea shops in Chinatown, the quality of their drinks shows why they are expanding. \n\nThe caramel drink I had was a bit too sweet for my liking and was a bit less than I expected for the price but I will probably be back to try more things when I'm in the area.",
"So delicious but just SO EXPENSIVE! I want to have it everyday, but I definitely cannot afford it! Service was pleasant, especially this one girl named Loran. Cards accepted with a $10 minimum. There is an area to hang out and chill and play board games at. The plaza itself is super Asian with a pho place and an Asian supermarket. So if you want to have a superasian day with some good but so expensive bubble tea, here' s your place."

"more boba & hot pot places opening up around the santa barbara area!! the tea & boba is definitely one of the better ones in the area and quite comparable to the drinks at gimmeal cafe. also their hotpot is good too!! definitely better than hotpot 212 in iv & i didnt feel sick afterwards. the prices are fair, better than iv pricing and they're still having some soft/ grand opening deals so definitely stop by here!! their service is good as well, especially for being a new places. i'll be back here again",
"Despite being open for less than a month, Phresh has quickly become one of my favorite places for teas! My first time here, not realizing what time it was, I came just as they were closing, but was still cheerfully greeted by the employees who insisted on taking my order anyway. \n\nWith a single sip, you can tell the drinks here are made with quality ingredients along with the food they serve here as well. There's also a bunch of games available for when you want to hang out - Uno, Jenga, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, and more. And even better than games, free WiFi!",
"So glad that there is a finally a place in Goleta near UCSB! My favorite drink here is Phresh milk tea with tapioca balls. My roommate likes the Phresh fruit tea the most because it I looks so pretty and perfect for an Instagram foodie!\n\nAlso, the other reason I love this place because there is a great hot pot place connected to it and I can order boba with my meal!",
"This place is refreshing, in multiple ways. It brings a fresh style to Goleta/Santa Barbara, as of matter of fact I felt more like I was in Irvine when I was there. I had their Phresh Tea with boba and it was amazing! The drinks come in a solid tall cup with a lid and holes for the straw which is different from the traditional boba cup which you have to forcefully punch a hole into. They have some small food items in the menu but I did not get around to trying them. I really love the area where this place is located, I hope that it brings some of the students out of Isla Vista to experience the rest of town all whilst providing an outlet for open minded folk in the neighborhood. I can definitely see it being a great place to study or just drop by to enjoy a drink and avoid the heat wave, I hope that they will remain here for a good time!",
"The service was amazing. We got offered a sample of both the Hokkaido and Phresh milk tea. They were both great but we decided the extra money for the phresh was worth it. Really tasty!! \n\nThe restaurant was really clean too and plenty of parking was available. Would come back again!!",
"Hi everyone I'm giving this place a 5-star rating. I've had a lot of boba in my day (Sharetea, Kung Fu Tea, Honey Boba, Ootea, Lollicup, Half & Half) and this place was really good! The staff let us sample their Hokkaido Milk Tea and Phresh Milk Tea and they were very flavorful and rich. They use milk powder for most of their drinks and said if you're lactose-intolerant, the milk powder drinks shouldn't make your stomach upset. Anyways, we also got a discount when we mentioned the yelp promotion, so definitely stop by and get some reasonably priced and delicious drinks!! \n\nBye everyone!!",
"THIS PLACE IS DANK!!!! Try the fried milk and the water melon slush with boba and lychee jelly!! It's so yummy. Also give the passion fruit paradise tea. It's filled with limes and really does taste PHRESH.",
"Came in 8 min before closing and they still let us order! I ordered the passion fruit paradise and my girlfriend ordered the watermelon slush both with boba. They're both really refreshing and good :) also very good customer service from the staff. Really great experience here.",
"Squishy boba.tea was average.store was pretty messy,personal item all over the counter!I won't come back!",
"I am convinced most of these reviews are from employees... so I'm from the Bay- I know boba. I have a trained palate! I was very excited about this place, hoping that we finally have a good boba place in SB/Goleta... too bad it was mediocre at best. I had the classic milk tea with boba. The boba was not good- squishy like it's falling apart, not much flavor in it either. The milk tea seemed watery, and not much different from the other boba shops around here... I also tried their popcorn chicken, which was better, but extremely salty and you can also taste some sugar to it. Overall, just another bad Santa Barbara boba shop.\n\nEdit: tried this place again and still same opinion... for $5.92 for a regular black milk tea with boba... pretty pricey for mediocre boba :("

"I wasn't sure what to expect when I discovered the massive crystal windows of the this cafe that seemed to erupt into existence overnight. I stepped in and was immediately greeted by the staff that seemed too eager to assist me. The menu is simple and has a few options that range from different types of acai bowls to acai smoothies.\nI was recommended the islander as a beginner bowl and received it shortly after ordering. The presentation was phenomenal, you could tell they really emphasized the appearance of their product. and the taste was wonderful! I always figured superfoods were savory in flavor but this tasted almost like a desert. I would definitely recommend basic cafe to anyone looking for a quick healthy and delicious meal, in a homey setting thats kept it's island vibes, despite being in a desert 5 stars, can't wait to bring my friends!",
"Delicious and fresh acai bowls. A delightful addition to the midtown landscape. Every bite of my bowl was either fresh or crunchy from the granola. Will definitely refer friends and come back for breakfast or even a meal replacement. Welcome Basik!",
"Sleek new shop at the Sticks center in Midtown. The menu is fairly limited...but perfect...you don't need anything else. The service was super quick and the staff friendly. I ordered the Islander bowl to go. It came loaded with bananas, strawberries, granola, etc. Tasty treat!",
"I have been eating acai for years now, so I'm very happy there is finally a place who has the acai bowl perfected here in Reno! The best thing about acai bowls is they are good for breakfast, lunch and even dinner. Basik has very delicious options. If you think the \"acai bowl\" isn't your thing I highly recommend giving them a try and I can guarantee you'll be back for more! \nI can't wait for them to finish up on all the small touches of the shop and to see what they become here in Reno!",
"This was my first time having acai. I didn't really know what to expect but came in one morning with a craving for something fruity and WOW! This stuff tasted amazing! I ordered the forager, with strawberries, bananas, some kind of light nuts, and a few other things that all complemented each other very well. The small bowl was around $8 and was pretty filling.\nI'm excited to come back to try more bowls and their smoothies!\nGlad to have such a great place in the sticks complex!",
"Summer days like these call for a cool treat and acai bowls are a nice and healthier alternative to ice cream (in my opinion)! All the menu items sounded amazing but I had the puna because it contained ingredients I hadn't tried before. I actually bought a bag of hemp hearts after having my acai bowl. The strawberries were a bit sour but everything was fresh and refreshing. It was nice that even though, under each bowl and smoothie, it tells you what's inside, the guy who worked there explained each one and what flavor they were more centered around. Whether it was more earthy, berry, etc. My boyfriend had the Waialea and although it was good, it was nothing out of the ordinary. In our opinion, this place is cool-it's got a hip vibe to it- but definitely a bit pricey. Nonetheless, the portion is large enough to make you satisfied.",
"Was hoping to be a first one to review them (went in on soft opening on July 10th) but was late to the game! Had the drifter smoothie and it was delicious - perfect mix of fruit and raw cocoa. Not a huge banana fan but that did not overtake or overpower the drink at all. Trying to eat healthier and this is a great place for breakfast replacement meals. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone.",
"This new midtown cafe is delicious! The interior is really trendy and hip, not to mention the smoothies and acai bowls are delicious and so fresh! I love the simplicity!",
"I love açai bowels and I am so excited Reno is expanding its option to get one. I got the forager and it was delicious. Very clean building with lots of light. The lady at the counter offered advice and they were very quick!",
"Great location for a quick bowl of healthy goodness. I love acai bowls, smoothie bowls and yogurt bowls. This one did not capture my taste buds. This trend is fun and I'm glad we are having more places enter our lovely city. This one just needs to work on their taste. It just want as refreshing as other places I have had. I make them too, and might continue for a while. I know sometimes it's a hit or miss at places, so try them out. I also, wasn't feeling so well the day I decided to grab a bite from here. Plus side is the fruits are super yummy. The downside is the smoothie base was lacking in flavor. Maybe they expected me to mix my fruuts amd granola in to help the honey give it some sweetness, but I didn't. Might of helped. Tasted like blended ice with a hint of flavor, so maybe mix it. The bowl itself is huge. I couldn't finish it. Either share with someone if you can't or save it for later if you have the opportunity to. The location is spacious. The design is on point and the menu is simple. Easy to pick what you want and go on your way. The wait time isn't bad either. Sat down for like 5 minutes and it was ready!"

"I have to admit when I saw the redesign of the old video store building I didn't like it....still don't, no offense Mr. owner sir (it's the circus colors outside). However if looks were everything where would we be? Inside this place was great! Lots of flavors of yogurt, should have counted but it seemed more than the other local joints. They had a ton of toppings which was really nice, lots and lots of options. Place was clean, really nice inside, and staff guy was nice as well. I was skeptical at first but you won me over, we will be back!!",
"I was really impressed with their flavors and toppings - tasted delicious and fresh and there was a ton of variety. The store itself was very clean as well",
"They charge 37 cents/oz. They have lots of flavors, I think like 15 or something. You get a free waffle cone/bowl with your ice cream if you want it. The staff is very nice as well. My favorite part is they have a huge candy, cookie and topping bar. You can rent out the space for free for partys. There's really nothing bad about this place. Its a fun place to go!",
"Great yogurt! Friendly staff! I like that even the toppings were self serve, unlike the other frozen yogurt shops. We were there for a birthday party, which they let you rent out the corner room for free!!",
"Not the best frozen yogurt I've had, but ok. Lots of flavors and toppings. They don't let you get your own sample. The person working has to do it for you :( I get it, but it takes forever and is just stupid. Where the yogurt is, felt really cramped. It was busy and I wanted to get out of there, so I didn't get the samples a wanted. Don't think I'll go back. U-swirl is much better.",
"Wow...the most expensive frozen yogurt I've ever bought!! Good selection of toppings and several flavors of froyo..although I'm a fan of tarts and they only had one tart froyo. They have an employee get samples for you...which is just weird. I didn't like that at all. Waiting on someone to get it for you...have the frozen yogurt behind the counter if it's like that. Why have a self serve place if you can't self serve?? Anyways, they were charging almost $.50 an ounce, which is horrible for a frozen yogurt shop. I definitely will not be back!!",
"In some ways, this is your typical self-serve fro-yo situation. Cups stand at the entrance to a line of several flavors of frozen yogurt that you may mix and match to your hearts content. This is followed by an array of the usual toppings for you to top your mix-matched delight.\n\nThere are a few things that, to me, make Yogurtz a cut above the rest:\n\n1. All the self-serve toppings are in containers with a scoop for you to top with your desired amount. This may not seem terribly unusual, but some of the other places in town have these canisters on the wall where you twist a nob and your chosen topping is dropped into your cup. You have little control over the amount and I've had a ridiculous mountain of mini-m&m's descend on my poor unsuspecting swirl of fro-yo. This is annoying in 2 ways: \n a) The mini-m&m to fro-yo ratio is rendered totally unacceptable.\n b) Topping are heavy and now my fro-yo is stupid expensive.\nBut, the point here is: Yogurtz doesn't have that system, so my fro-yo is always topped exactly how I like it.\n\n2. The atmosphere is upbeat. It's large and there are always people enjoying their fro-yo in good cheer. There is even a party room and very often a party underway. \n\n3. There is plenty of seating.\n\nTheir yogurt is not as tart as some of the other places in town (which some will enjoy and some will not). It always seems to me to be a bit on the sweeter side--though not overly so. \n\nIt's always clean and the workers are pleasant and efficient. \n\nI should mention (though I may be the only one who cares about this): They don't have mini-m&m's but rather the regular sized m&m's, which I don't like as well as a fro-yo topping (I don't know why this makes a difference--but, really, it does!).\n\nOther than that small snafu, a fabulous frozen yogurt experience.\n\nGet to it!",
"My go to Froyo place. The most froyo flavors than any other place I've been to. Couple that with their wide selection of toppings and free waffle cone/bowls, you've got a great spot to satisfy your froyo craving.\nIt's the only place I've found that has all of my ingredients. Tarte froyo. Fresh kiwis and strawberries. Granola without any sunflower seeds (it's happened before), and cheesecake bites. Yum!! I need some now. \n\nThe only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it's always super warm in there.",
"Delicious, lots of options including non-dairy, and tons of toppings!",
"Love it here! The most toppings and yogurt flavors but more importantly, clean and pretty friendly service! It's bright and cheery with plenty of seating so don't feel bad if want to sit and visit. Love that you yourself can control exactly how much topping you want. Even the owner is great!"

"I was curious about this place which recently opened on 104th street, that was until I heard it was completely vegan. To me a meal is not a meal without meat! I ended up in here as I eat lunch downtown everyday and had just about exhausted all my other options. I chose flippantly - one of the first things that caught my eye on the menu. I was resigned to the fact that I just wasn't going to enjoy it. I was completely wrong!! The Chipotle Taco salad is one of the best salads I have ever tasted - lots of subtle complimentary flavors and very fresh produce. A generous portion filled me up and the absence of meat didn't matter half as much as I expected it to. The downsides to this place are that it is on the expensive side and I do feel that the decor is minimal to the point of being unwelcoming.",
"I've become a once a week regular here, after a rocky start with a poor first experience. But I have come to crave the coconut bacon BLT with the delicious citrus greens. Packed full of fresh tomatoes and greens, and delicious date jam. \n\nI also enjoy the vast selection of smoothies, ranging from basic to protein packed.",
"The newly opened vegan eatery on 104th presents a number of healthy and delicious breakfast and lunch options, ranging from waffles to smoothies to soup and salad. They also have excellent vegan baked goods featuring an \"ice cream\" sandwich that might just be the crown jewel of the entire place.\n\nI absolutely adore their chili which is flavorful, filling and will be even more of a treat when it starts to get chilly out. I've also tried a few of their salads which are all deceptively filling and incredibly yummy. Usually I have a slight aversion to spending very much on a salad but these ones are definitely worth slightly above average prices. The same can be said for their smoothies which are indeed pricey but are jam-packed with nutrition.\n\nOverall, the new vegan eatery is a welcome addition to the downtown breakfast and lunch scene with great healthy options but just be prepared with a backup plan for seating if you're going with any more than a couple friends because the tables are small and fill up quickly.",
"What a great new addition to 104th St! I love having more healthy and delicious options to choose and this place delivers on both.\n\nIn the last 2 years, I have been incorporating more vegan/vegetarian dishes in my diet. Trying to educate myself was a little daunting so I took an 8 week program with a wholistic nutritionist. I feel like this place encompasses much of that program with healthy, delicious, satiating food that makes you feel great! No guilt in overindulging here. \n\nThe chilli bowl is so yummy. It is loaded with tons of good stuff like quinoa, beans, tomatoes, avocado, pepper and onion. The sweet chili chipotle cashew cream that tops it, is so flavourful and really compliments the spice. \n\nI recently had the Quinoa Tabbouleh salad. It was also very tasty loaded with kale, parsley, mixed greens, peppers, cucumber and quinoa. The lentil hummus, olives and tahini-lemon dressing make this salad divine and unique from the others. The combination of saltiness, creaminess and citrus makes you want more! Unfortunately, even after finishing the salad ,you will want more - not only because it is so good, but because the portion really isn't that big. \n\nThe portions being on the smaller side would be my only complaint; however, prices are decent considering everything you are eating is organic and made in house. If you go down the street to Earth's General Store, you will see that it isn't cheap to eat consciously. \n\nThe space is bright, clean, and very modern. I kind of feel like I am going to the spa to have my meal. It is a great break from the busy office.\n\nI look forward to indulging in many more items on the menu and not have an ounce of guilt in doing so.",
"We absolutely love this place. The owners have taken on a plant based approach keeping it simple with no highly process meat and cheese vegan alternatives. There is no soy in the food and everything is made from scratch. I recommend them to everyone because they are delicious, healthy whole foods. \n\nThe staff and owners are very polite, nice and on many occasions have chatted with us to see what we think of the food. \n\nThe place does have two long tables that can sit 4 people each and a long booth to sit and wait for take away. It's a great place to sit in or take out. It's located on the beautiful 104 Street so taking your meal to a bench in good weather is also ideal. \n\nI recommend you try the turmeric tea, coconut BLT and cookies! But so far nothing on the menu has disappointed me.",
"Today is my sister's birthday, so it's the day to go vegan. \n\nFirst impressions? To be honest, I hate the decor. It's pretty minimal, both in color and artwork. The walls are white and wood paneling. The booths are charcoal grey, and there's a few dull gold accents. For me it's a cross between stark and bleah, but I'm sure someone will tell me it's tasteful and contemporary. I halfway suspect it's so you'll decide to take your food to go.\n\nBUT, atmosphere isn't nearly as important as flavor, and do these flavors ever pop!! I had the vanilla bean latte, (robust) and the Sloppy Joe. The Sloppy Joe was actually a tidy and delightful sandwich with beans, tomato and avocado. The thing that struck me was how delicious the bread was. I could taste the multiple grains and it was so soft and fresh. Nice decent portion too with a few tortilla chips. \n\nMy sister had the falafel, and I can see why she enjoyed it. Again, very fresh, with singing flavors. She also had a mango mojito smoothie. THAT was interesting! Not my thing, but I swear it tastes like summer. Like sunning in your backyard next to the freshly mowed lawn, drinking something cold and fruity.\n\nDessert was a chocolate chip cookie for me, and an Eat More square for my sister. The cookie was okay, but I'm thinking I should have had the square. THAT was moist and yummy. \n\nWould I come back? For sure, but next time I taking my food to go.",
"My friend found this place through facebook and insisted we check it out. I am not a vegan or even a vegetarian, but the menu looked interesting so we decided to give it a try.\nThis place is amazing! It's plant based-aka vegan, soy and dairy free. I got the Chipotle taco salad, mango mojhito smoothie and a raw Nanaimo bar.\nThey were delicious but a little on the expensive side. I wasn't planning on spending $25 for lunch type items. My only complaint is that the smoothie definitely needs more mango. I would definitely reccommend this place!",

"The food here is DELISH, and it's always nice to have more vegan friendly options in the area. The staff are friendly and fast, the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. Over all a really good experience- the only point of contention is all of the good and drinks are WILDLY expensive. Although you do get what you pay for in terms of portion size, tasty assortment of healthy foods, a great tasting meal etc. it's also really hard to fathom paying $10 for a smoothie, or $10 for a small chia pudding when you could spend the equivalent elsewhere and get more bang for your buck. I guess that's what you get for eating healthy and vegan. Don't let that deter you though, if you don't mind paying a little more this is a truly great spot!",
"Totally worth paying a little extra to not feel like crap after eating junk filled food!\nThey have an amazing range of health conscious food. \nThe space itself is comfortable,open and welcoming. Did I mention the space is very clean?!\nThe staff is super friendly and helpful, the food is fresh and I love it here!"

"The food proportions may be plentiful and delicious... But have you ever wonder what goes on in the back?? How is your food really being made?? I've seen this with my own eyes and will eat only certain dishes... They drop food all the time and instead of tossing it.. They just put it back or put it in the pan..",
"It's Italian food...made by people who don't really know what Italian food is. My veal marsala was nearly tasteless; but the veal was tender. The side salad had chunks of lettuce so large they required a knife, and the salad was not tossed; dressing should be on the side only if you request that. The dressing was, however, clearly not bottled; vinegary with plenty of oregano which I liked. Oddly enough, my husband's antipasto salad had no dressing at all.\n\nCheesy bread is garlic bread with mozzarella melted over it; but this was like a cheese pizza with no sauce. But the cheese was properly melted & browned, the way I like it.\n\nThe waitress was a nice girl--but my husband had to point out the antipasto salad on the menu because she didn't know what it was, and couldn't manage the word \"antipasto\". And, ok, I realize it was the middle of a Sunday afternoon, not exactly peak hours, but....really? you're going to hang out with your friends either outside having a cigarette or in a corner table?\n\nI really wanted to like Taste of Italy. But the \"antipasto\" episode sort of sums up the whole experience: they are trying, but they just don't really understand what they're trying to do.",
"Usually pretty good food but today we order a thin crust pizza and get regular crust . I called back and received another pizza in about an hour. It was COLD! Maybe just a bad day but not during the game",
"Went for lunch.\nServers are very friendly.\nThe atmosphere is extremely tacky. Red/White/Green everywhere and very DARK..\nLooks like it's not sure if it wants to be a pizza place or a formal restaurant. \nI would go 2 Stars because the actual experience dining in is so bad, but the food redeems it.\nThe appetizers were surprisingly good. Recommend the stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta. Very tasty and fresh.\nBYOB",
"To address another review of the decor of this restaurant... don't expect fine dining from a strip mall in Donelson! Taste of Italy is the best Italian restaurant in the area. The service is always excellent and the staff is very personable. The pizza is some of the best in town and the dishes are very well crafted. The owner makes it all on site and he cares about what is served in his restaurants. I would recommend it to anyone, but if you are looking for the feel of the grotto at Valentino's, you are going to be paying a lot more for your meal. This is a restaurant with a Mayberry feel and it's byob which is always fun!",
"I've been several times for lunch and dinner. Food is always excellent. The stromboli is one of my favorites. Decor? When this place first opened they were going for classy and quasi formal. They must have figured out rather quickly \"that dog wouldn't hunt\" in Donelson. It's now casual with remnants of its former self still evident. Go for the food.",
"Sadly, the food can be good, especially the antipasto salad. Unfortunately, the wait staff is rude, the decor is tacky, and the delivery time is never right, which means my pizza was always cold. Rather discouraging.",
"It was just okay. Nothing flashy, nothing outstanding, merely ok-ish. The decor is the typical Italian joint type of set up and painted the color of the Italian flag. The music was atypical as well - Sinatra and the like. So for that I ding them. Come on, people! Let's be a little creative here and try setting up a whole different ambience!\n\nHubby ordered the tropical pizza (thin crust) topped with ham and pineapple. While he said the toppings were tasty, his big complaint was that they kept sliding off. Oh, and the pizza only comes in one size.... It basically fits on a dinner plate. And it is cut into squares, not the typical pie wedges. That made it drop down as well since hubby likes each piece to have crust.\n\nI ordered the chicken piccata. At $14, it came with a house salad and bread sticks. The salad was just the bland iceberg lettuce variety with some tomato, canned black olives, red onion and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. The dressing was obviously bottled. My entree was alright. Nothing special. It could have used more lemon in the sauce. The biggest problem with it as well was that I had to put salt on it a few times. I am not one of those that usually adds salt to my cooked meal as I think it should have been properly seasoned during the actual cooking process.\n\nThe biggest highlight to our lunch was that we discovered that you can bring your own bottle of wine and there is not a fee for corkage. However, that really doesn't matter since we will not be returning.",
"Went here after going to there \"coffee shop\" a few doors down because the sandwich we ordered wasnt up to par an the guy didnt wear gloves at all during the process, so still being quite hungry and all we gave it a try. WHAT A JOKE.\n\nNot one person who works there is italian or has any clue about Italian food. We ordered Caprese' for an Appetizer an it didnt have any BASIL on it but a few small pieces and the balsamic was so thick it was almost a reduction but it was still Really sweet so it couldnt have been. Rather Odd. Strike 1\n\nWife got Chicken Alfredo and the noodles werent even cooked through or close to al dente' an the chicken was borderline raw. I ordered a cheese pizza. Sauce was 100% from a can an the pizza lacked overall love. It was kinda sad that they couldnt even make a simple 10\" pizza right. Strike 2\n\nWhen the owner (middle eastern? man) came to our table he asked how was everything an we complained about the alfredo but nothing was done about it an he seemed almost annoyed we were even there. Then he goes behind the counter to talk to our server an basicly ripped them a new a**hole in front of everyone an the staff. Wow. For 43.62$ I felt ROBBED an the server didnt seem to happy with the 1.48$ tip he received. Strike 3\n\nAfter the Panini fiasco I honestly dont know these guys are open. Save your $.",
"Little hole in the wall of the interstate. The food was very good. We ordered Chicken Marsala, peperoni pizza, and garlic knots. The only complaint was that the bread sticks that came with the Marsala were cold and kind of hard. The servers were very friendly. The restaurant is tiny. This is where the star comes off. The servers would have to rub along the back of my chair to get between tables as there was no other way around. Give this place a try"

"Chile rellenos in the Tucson Area rated according to the Homeland Security Advisory System with three word descriptors.\n\nTania's: near Alohólicos Anónimos. Orange\n\nSee photos.",
"The food here is not great but it is not bad. It is a good alternative to your fast food Mexican. It is definitely a mom and pop traditional Mexican food place. The food can be a little greasy as well. The salsa is a 3/5 stars. Worth a try.",
"I had the joy of having tamales from this place today at a potluck. My co-worker says this is a great place inside. The people are friendly and the food is usually good.\n\nThe tamales that I had to day were an exercise in authentic deliciousness. I had some red beef tamales with green olives inside and some green chili and cheese ones. They were really good. I would definately recommend stopping in to alieviate your tamale cravings.",
"This place *shakes head*.....\n\nwhere to begin?\n\nfirst off the employees couldn't care less about their paying customers. If something is on special and you dont specifically say you want the \"special\", then they wont offer it to you, they won't tell you about it and you'll pay FULL price.\n\nExample: today my co-workers sent me there to buy burritos.\nI ordered one green chili burrito and one red chili burrito. 4.99 each.\nAfter I received my order, I noticed a whiteboard out of customer peripheral view that read:\n\n \"Today's Special\nGreen/Red chili burrito with beans and rice $4.99\"\n\nwow. Forget the sign being out of view, the lady that took my order(skinny lady in late 30's) didn't even mention the special to me. So I paid $4.99 for the burritos minus the beans and rice.\n\nOh and dont you DARE critisize their food!! because no matter what YOU'RE wrong and their food is always cooked to perfection!\nOne time a co-worker ordered soup from Tanias.\nWhat he got was undercooked meat and vegetables. What gave it away besides the lukewarm broth was the crunchy potatoes.\nHe went back to inform them(not even complain) that the soup wasn't fully cooked. and the lady, in her 50's or 60's with curly hair and glasses, IMMEDIATELY cut him off and wouldn't hear a single word of it! Stating that that's the way the soup is made and that it was cooked right. Trust me it wasn't, the darn potatoes were like peanuts.\n\nPrice? Well 1.99 for a Taco Bell quality taco sounds like a steal to me!!\n....A steal for Tania!!\n\nAnd last if you are gonna eat there, don' eat *THERE*. The inside of the restaurant is like walking through a New York subway train. Narrow and packed! Please bring your steeltoe's because your shoes might get stepped on! Because of size limitations the tables are so tiny they make a coffee table seem like the one from The Last Supper.\n\nSpeaking of the last supper, I'm done eating there. Which is a shame because It's so close to my work.\nOh well... 99 cent Circle K hot dogs here I come!!\n\nUPDATE: My co-workers sent me to this dump again (they have no choice) and wow. If a picture's worth a thousand words let me just stop now and let the new photos I posted speak for themselves.",
"Well, been going here for years. Usually pick up some breakfast burritos, which are great. Dining area is way to small, unless for a quick bite to eat for a small party of 2-3. There is always a line when I go, which say's something on it's own, but as I mentioned the place is too small, and most of the orders are all take out. Menudo the most popular hangover cure over in these parts, is always a hit as well.",
"I walked in today and ordered a new favorite. Carne Asada Fries. they were really good. Double tortilla makes every meal a bit more satisfying.\n\n The place was packed on my particular visit and it took a really long time to get my food. Even though it was well priced and absolutely some of the best Mexican food in town I wish it was a bit faster.\n\nSo next time i will order out. They do this all the time.\n Same great flavor, on your schedule. More than likely you will not visit when there is a line out the door so don't always expect to have my experience. \n\n\nReal Mexican sodas as well. For that real sugar taste. I think they cater as well.",
"Tania's is my go-to place to pick up a gallon of menudo, a dozen tamales, family-sized albondigas and the softest, most melt-in-your-mouth tortillas in town. The service is knowledgeable and professional, and no detail is missed. For example, when I told them I was heating the menudo the next day, my green onion-cilantro was neatly packed for stove heating. I've been worshipping at Tania's counter for more than a decade, and this place just keeps getting better. These days, the clientele leans toward yuppie as the area gentrifies. Tania's is keeping it real, though.",
"This place is a gem! \nExcellent food, the best carne asada and enchiladas I've had in Tucson!\nService can be spotty - sometimes friendly, sometimes not. The atmosphere is a bit divey, but the prices and portion sizes are great.\nTry it!",
"Gotta love this place. Now that they've moved next door, Tania's is more spacious and has a couple TVs on the walls while you wait got your order. Food is good but greasy, but what do you expect?",
"Great caldo when your too sick to make homemade soup. This is the next best thing to your own or Nanas."

"I had Lunch here today with my wife and it was great! I had a fish taco, steak taco and Pork Taco. My wife had a Taco and a thing called a Chalupa. I've never had a chalupa before but I had a few bites of my wifes and it was different but really good. I'm looking forward to going back and trying different things on the menu. If you're looking for Tacos then this is the place to go in Hendersonville.",
"I was really excited to try this new taco shop in hendersonville which is located right next to some other great spots(Jumbo and Moore's)\n\nThey have done a nice job of building out the space with the exception of the ceiling fans which are placed right below the light fixtures which causes really choppy lighting in the restaurants--so much that you can almost feel sick. \n\nThe food has a good flavor and they have a good variety of meats for your tacos. They do not have rice, chips and salsa, nachos or anything besides tacos and burritos. Their prices for tacos are high. $1.75 per taco seems unreasonable give the lack of size of the tacos. With El Grullense right down the street and their tacos are amazing and 40% cheaper I think they are going to have a tough time competing.",
"I try something different every time I go in there and all the food is fantastic. The staff is excellent as well. Definitely a big thumbs up!!!",
"BEST Mexican food this side of the border! Great service, fresh authentic food! This is a must try. Local owned & operated!",
"Great food! Good energy and the young couple running the place are so down to earth!! We will return for the super fresh eats!",
"Very fresh and authentic Mexican food. Great taste and service. I would like them to add chips/salsa. I definitely will become a regular.",
"This is a small family owned restaurant. The service is friendly, the food is different but delicious. In fact, I think it is as authentic as it gets. This is not a chips and salsa restaurant but a great place to experience new flavors and culture. I love the chalupa with yummy corn cake, grilled onions, and a grilled pepper. The cheese flan is amazing. Definately worth a try. Be imaginative and enjoy.",
"True al pastor Tacos. Extremely delicious. I highly recommend getting the al pastor tacos with the pineapple salsa. The salsa's are SPICY and addictively yummy. Even the flans are great. This is my new weekly taco stop.",
"We thought the food was fresh, but expensive for the quantity. The waitress was super helpful and sweet...we probably need to try more of the menu.",
"Best tacos in town! \n\nMy husband and I were so hungry driving home after church and this was on our way. We didn't even know this place existed but we knew there were other little restaurants in the shopping area it's located in. It was the first time we'd seen the place as they only had been opening for 2 months. So of course, we had to try it.\n\nWe were welcomed by the sweetest lady. I think we were their first customers that day. My husband ordered their burrito de lomo. Omggg! Best thing on the menu! It was so flavorful- you must must get it! I started dipping my tacos in the meat sauce that dropped from the burrito!\n\nIf you're wanting tacos, you must get al pastor! That was so flavorful- packed with different seasonings.\nIt was mouthwatering.\n\nSmall but a very lovely place. We ended our meal by writing on their wall. They have a black wall where their customers have signed in the past. Definitely a cute way to end our meal.\n\nHendersonville is truly stepping it up and this is such a good addition to the neighborhood! Now I'm craving some tacos at 11:34pm!"

"I really like fish and chips and although this place had all the credentials it just didn't make it.\n\nIt is located in a strip mall and is a bit of a dive. For me this is actually encouraging as I have found that if a place can last with no ambiance it is either dirt cheap or has good food. \n\nWhen entering you are surrounded by British posters in a large open space, but the furniture and flooring has seen much better times.\n\nThis is obviously a family run business and you get to meet most of them during your visit. Service was good and the food was ready in a very short time. First thing you notice is the HUGE portions of fish, so crispy you can't wait to dig in. The second is the chips.... they served frozen fries which brings pain to my heart.\n\nThe fish was OK, light and flaky but i've had better. The fries still haunt me.",
"I'd been meaning to visit Sir Winston's for a while, and today I had the opportunity to go with two co-workers. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the owner who made friendly conversation with us as we were being seated. Within minutes of being seated, he took our drink orders and then gave us time to go over the menu. I was tempted to order a beer from the wide variety available, but since I went for lunch and had to go back to work afterwards, I had to pass on it. My co-workers and I took a few minutes to look at the menu, and when the owner came back with our drinks we were ready to order. Right away we all knew we wanted to try the vegetarian samosas and calamari for our appetizers. I ordered the two piece halibut meal, while my co-workers ordered the two and three piece haddock meals.\n\nWhile we sat there waiting for our orders, the owner came back with three bowls of coleslaw. The coleslaw was fresh since it was still crunchy (not soggy), and there appeared to be dill in it which added to the flavour. As my co-workers and I chatted and ate the delicious coleslaw, our appetizers were brought to us. I was pretty impressed by the speedy service, since we were just finishing our bowls.\nRight away we all dug into the plate of calamari, and were pleasantly surprised by the taste. A lot of restaurants that serve calamari, don't have good calamari. It either has a strong fishy taste or is really chewy like gum. This was the complete opposite. The calamari was easy to chew, and tasted great. Kinda wish I didn't have to share with two other people... haha. Next we tried the vegetarian samosas. The samosas had good flavour, and I was actually happy the samosa shell wasn't thick. Many Indian restaurants I've gone to screw them up by using a thicker samosa shell and barely putting any filling in them. These ones were perfect. Since the owner is Indian, you know he's going to get the samosas right.\n\nAlmost as soon as we finished our appetizers, all of our meals were brought out to us. I can't comment on my co-workers' meals, but I was impressed by the large pieces of haddock on their plates. They seemed to enjoy their choices, but since there was so much food, they couldn't finish. They both got through one piece of fish each and the fries, before their stomachs got full and they had to box the rest up.\n\nMy halibut meal was equally as large. The pieces of fish were covered in a light and very scrumptious batter, and the fish pieces used were thick. Some local restaurants I've had fish and chips at tend to use a very thick and heavy batter, and skimp on the fillet used. It's almost like they emphasize on the batter instead of the fish, and you usually go home feeling sick after you finish. That wasn't the case at Sir Winston's. It was a large piece of fish covered in a light and crunchy batter. I basically started, and didn't come up for air until I finished everything on my plate. I'm sure I could've eaten more if there was actually more on my plate, but thank god there wasn't because I still had to go back to work... haha. I do feel kinda bad my co-workers and I almost went through nearly two bottles of tartar sauce... lol. If anything, the owner should see that as an indication of how delicious his food is.\n\nAfter our meal, it came time to pay our bill. The last time I went to Brit's Fish & Chips and had the two piece halibut meal, I ended up paying around $30 plus tax and tip. At Sir Winston's, my meal cost less than half of that. With tax and tip I paid under $15. Even my co-workers' meals cost significantly less than the price of the haddock meals at Brit's. In total, I think our bill came out to around $70-75 (two appies, and three entrees) What more can you ask for? You're paying less money than at Brit's and getting the same amount of food, and the food also tastes better. Sir Winston's definitely has great value paired with mouth watering fish and chips.\n\nI don't think I'll ever be going back to Brit's or having fish and chips at any other restaurants from now on. I'll only be going to Sir Winston's when I have a craving for fish and chips. It's a very clean establishment, with a friendly host, the service is top notch, and the food is amazing. We even had the owner's son serve us, and you could tell the apple didn't fall far from the tree in that family. He was equally hospitable as the owner.\n\nTo some of the other reviewers that had negative feedback, I didn't see slow service and the food came out hot. My co-workers and I got there around 12PM. We ordered, ate, paid, and left by about 12:45PM to go back to work. In my opinion, that's a reasonable amount of time considering this isn't a fast food establishment. The portions of food were also comparable to Brit's, at a much more reasonable price.",
"Come hungry and be sure to get the halibut! This is the best chippy in town, hands down. If you are not into the battered fish, you can get pan fried fish as well. You will leave feeling full, but not greasy.",
"Probably the best fish & chips I've ever had, especially as take-out. The fish was battered perfectly and cooked to perfection. The two pieces of fish barely fit inside the 8\" square clamshell.\n\nMy only complaint: the 1 oz of tartar sauce included by default wasn't enough... but that would have been easily solved if I had known and had asked for more.\n\nService: exceptional.\n\nWill be back soon!",
"Good value, big pieces of fish and a good serve of chips. I only had take away but the venue seemed pleasant enough. Really this is what fish and chips should be.",
"Fairly disappointing. I was looking forward to some fish & chips. My wife dislikes any kind of sea-food, so I don't get to hit up many restaurants that specialize in the cuisine. And hey, my wife wasn't with me this evening, so let's get me some fish & chips.\nThe menu seemed promising. The appetizer menu was impressively large, but I knew I wouldn't be able to eat that much food so I didn't order anything from there. As for the main course... you can choose different types of fish which is a great idea. \nThe fish itself wasn't bad, nothing I would rave about either. You could defiantly tell it had come from a freezer... but not soggy and gross. I was not a fan of the batter though. The batter wasn't thick - actually rather thin coating - and it seemed to be inconsistently coated. And the batter was almost too crunchy, maybe it was the thinner coated spots that were the problem.\nThere were only 6 people in the restaurant, yet my fries were cool and hard. If you can't be bothered to have the time to make fresh chips at a slow time, you may have to rethink if you want to be in the restaurant business. \nIn the end I think I've had better fish & chips at corporate restaurants, so I probably wouldn't go back. But maybe I just hit them on a bad day.",
"The manager was very friendly and greeted us nicely as we sat down for a nice meal. The food came out pretty quick. The coleslaw was small in size but it was nice. As for the chips they were also nice and big and tasted better then the fish.\n\nThe fish was a disappointment. filled with oil I decided to use my tissue to absorb all the oil out of the fish.. My Tissue was soaked in oil by the end of it and the batter was over cooked. As for the fish well there was no taste left of it due to the oil and batter being so bad. \n\nMost likely will not go back there but service was good and its a nicely decorated place. Could do with a bit better on the cleaning scale though.",
"I used to love this place for it's reasonable prices and large portions, but they have raised their prices on every single menu item ($2 for a can of pop that does not even come with a glass of ice) and cut down the portion sizes tremendously. After seeing the new menu prices we debated leaving without ordering, but thought we would try. I absolutely wish we had gone somewhere else. \n\nThe fish portion was large, but very bland. The very small handful of fries were very overcooked and dry. I know our society as a rule are overeaters, but the portion size was not worth the price at all. \n\nLots of decorating, but no ambiance whatsoever. The bathroom is falling apart. The staff is very mediocre, nothing warm and friendly whatsoever about the experience. This was our last visit to this particular place. \n\nProtip: If you're experiencing financial difficulty in your restaurant, you should probably try to keep what customers you have instead of expecting them to carry the weight of all of the people NOT eating there.",
"Super good super large pieces of fish. Highly recommend for authentic fish and chips without that heavy greasy feel",
"This place is a hidden gem!!! Prices are great. Service is fast and friendly. The place itself is pretty big but its cosy. Fish is AMAZING (coming from someone who is very hesitant about eating fish). Coconut shrimp and deep fried halibut are must trys. Food isnt greasy at all considering its deep fried! Love this place :) it will become one of our regular restaurants!"

"So I'm 10 or so years out of New Jersey, and I'm still dreaming about McMillan's sticky buns. My mom used to bring me to the bakery every weekend to pick out the treats for breakfast. I always picked out a sugar cookie as we waited for the sticky buns to be packaged.... Something has to be said for a bun that hasn't been paralleled at any other bakery in 13 years of searching. The coffee cake is deelicious too, if they still offer it.",
"i discovered McMillan's by word of mouth thru my co-workers at the time (we'd get the birthday cakes from there and they're TO DIE FOR) an office lady spoke of the fabled cream donut - their signature pastry... it comes in two forms powdered sugar or granulated sugar. (i think there's crack in the cream) the donut is like a fluffy pillow of dough... the cream is like a pool of goodness.\n\n*sigh* i miss it...",
"McMillan's is probably the greatest bakery ever. A friend of mine is so obsessed with their cakes that he will use any and every excuse to make a stop. Rumors of the infamous cream donuts at McMillan's made their way to me when my coworkers discovered my weakness. I didn't believe the hype, opting to stick with my old standby, Dunkin Donuts' kreme-filled chocolate-frosted (occasionally with sprinkles) donut, on the rare occasion that I started my day with such an indulgence. One day, a visitor to our office brought in a huge bakery box filled with deliciousness from McMillan's. There were several cream-filled donuts and I think I visualized my name written in the powdered sugar on one of them. It was love at first bite. \n\nI still have love for ya, Dunkin Donuts, but I hope you don't mind being the side piece for now on.",
"It's tough to try and diet when you live so close to such a great bakery. \n\nMcMillans succeeds in many ways. They are one of the few purveyors of granulated sugar doughnuts still around. In fact, since Bredenbecks closed in Philly, this is the only place I know of that makes the granulated sugar cream doughnut. The jelly in the doughnuts tastes like real fruit versus generic sweet filling, and just the right amount of sweetness. The packzy's (imagine a jelly doughnut where the doughnut is made of raising bread) is fully responsible for at least two sugar fits in recent months. \n\nBread and rolls are great as well, and the cakes, although pricey, are worth it. Danish is also a great option here, with the toasted coconut my current favorite. I did hear the other day they have a butterscotch danish, so I may have to try that one out soon. \n\nSteer clear of the butter cake. It's an interpretation versus the runny top sweetness you're probably used to. Petit fours are similarly disappointing, being solid cubes of ice pound cake. No jelly, no layers of colored goodness, very expensive. Cookies are hit or miss. I've had some that are great, others that are bland tasteless discs with colored sugar on top. Fruitcake was a bust too (and I love fruitcake). \n\nOn the whole, if it looks good, it probably is. Service can be variable depending on who helps you. I've purchased a dozen pastries and sometimes I'm offered a bakers dozen, sometimes not. \n\nGo early, but no too early (seriously). I arrived right after opening one day to try and get the best selection and they were still bringing stuff out. It was like being there after the morning rush! For holidays and special occasions, do yourself a favor and order in advance for pickup. \n\nParking can be exciting, do yourself a favor and park across the street at Walgreen's. You'll burn a few teeny extra calories walking over that will justify that 13th bizmark!",
"Why you should go there right now: \n\n7:30am Sunday - Cupcake balls filled with a dollop of white cream, dipped in raspberry jelly, the rolled in electric pink coconut. Probably one of the best two bite confections I've ever eaten. I will be there this morning buying more. \n\nPost cupcake buying update: \nMy son and I headed over promptly at 8:30 treasure hunting for more pink balls of happiness. The place was crowded as ever, and a ping of concern went through me. What the heck if people were actually reading my reviews. Yikes! Do I get dibs on my favorite items? We stood in line and nowhere did my eyes see an electric pink puff. I did spy something new, a peanut butter tastycake cake. Hmmm. \n\nMrs. McMillan herself waited on us this morning, and when I asked about the cupcake bites, she informed me that they were one of her son's 'creations' and she'd give our feedback that we enjoyed them. I asked about the peanut butter tastycake cake, and she assured me if we liked peanut butter we'd love that. I told her that my son was a particular fan, and we've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered, especially her son's 'creations'. While she was wrapping that up we discussed how they are the lone purveyors of the granulated sugar cream donut, and she remembered Bredenbeck's in Mayfair when I mentioned it. Knowing how to work a crowd, she asked my son if he'd ever had their peanut butter brownie. He said he hadn't, and suddenly there was a small bag placed in his hand with a wink 'to try'. \n\nIn the eight seconds (later at home) that the peanut butter brownie was visible to my eye before my son inhaled it and pronounced it 'great' I will say it did indeed look great. 3\" square, a definite layer of peanut butter, a large walnut on top. Very moist looking. Yum. \n\nI spied a small chocolate mound in the case and asked what it was. \"Oh, that's today's creation. It's a cupcake center with cream filling, iced in vanilla butter cream, dipped in chocolate ganace, dusted with white chocolate slivers with a dollop of chocolate mousse on top.\" \n\nO.M.G. \n\nSo as my blood sugar soared past 200 just looking at this mountain of sweet (that she was wrapping up for me) I assured myself that the yardwork I would be doing today would offset the potential sugar coma this confection represented. The tab for all these items, plus donuts and a few danishes - $16.75. The free brownie and wink to my peanut butter loving son = customer for life.",
"Been here once and tried some of those cream filled donuts. I thought it was okay. There just wasn't something that really got me though.... I am set on trying them again though.\n\nI'm going 4 stars since my father brought back a chocolate cake one night and wow was it good. It was moist, tasty, and the icing tasted like fudge!",
"It's hard to imagine that there's a better bakery on earth, much less in South Jersey. And there are some damn fine bakeries in South Jersey...\n\nTheir sticky buns are the bomb. With nuts or without.",
"Living between here and Di Bartolo's is like having Greg Maddux and Nolan Ryan in their prime on your team. Something good is always gonna happen. \n\nI've tried the cream filled doughnut and their chocolate with vanilla frosting cupcakes. The creme in the doughnut and the vanilla frosting are quite possibly the best I\"ve ever had. Its so good, that you end up much like a little kid with a plate of spaghetti. You start out with the frosting/creme on the pastry, and by the end of eating it, you've got frosting on your mouth, on you hands, on you fingers. And you just don't give a flying fig. Because they are really THAT good.\n\nI also ordered a lemon sponge cake. It was pefectly moist and very flavorful. Sometimes lemon or other fruit flavors taste artificial or too strong, but this was perfect. It was very very tasty and went over really well at the party I went to in Philly last night. \n\nNext time I'm going to get one of their pies. Though I\"m almost afraid to, since they might knock The Pie Kitchen and my mom off the top spot.",
"Coming here for dessert after eating at the Pour House was a great idea. We've driven by here so many times and never thought to stop in. The store itself looks very unassuming- it just looks like an old bakery. We just ordered a whole bunch of cookies and they were delicious. They had these chocolate chip cookie sandwiches (with a cream center) and they were heavenly. The other cookies were really good too (my favorite were these crisp lacey-thin cookies with a layer of chocolate). i'm giving it 4-stars because we hadn't tried any of the other pastries yet. Next time, we'll definitely have to try the ones the other reviewers have raved about.",
"I can see the neon sign from my front door....it is very dangerous....\n\nI have to use all of my willpower each and every morning to NOT stop in and buy 2 or 3 donuts....about once a week I crack, park at Wawa, and walk over to fill a little white wax covered bag with pure happiness (a.k.a. sugar)\n\nBOSTON CREME......I could eat these bad boys til I am SICK....that's how delicious they are...the creme donuts are famous, and the cupcakes... ohhhh the cupcakes!!!\n\nOk, I'm starting to drool...time to stop writing before I ditch work and drive 8 miles back to McMillan's to spend my lunch money on donuts..."

"The Pint & Brew is a fine little bar. Lots of craft beers, with 20 or so Florida brands on tap. You get a sense that they really aim to support the locals companies. Our bartender was Tiffany, and she was as pleasant as can be during our 30-40 minute stay. I ordered a Kasteel Triple from Belgium, which can in a 25 ounce bottle. Took me a while to chug down that bad boy, especially at 11% ABV. I even shared a glass with the couple sitting next us, who had no idea what a triple was. Had to enlighten them!\n\nThey do not have food at P&B, but they do allow places to deliver. One of which is Mystic Fish next door. Order it up, and they will walk it over. Simple as that, and they're food is divine.\n\nIf I lived in the area, I'd probably be a regular, but I don't. Therefore, I will probably only belly up to their bar when I'm dinning next door at the fish.",
"Great new bar off Tampa Rd with rotating Florida specific craft beer selections. Many are hard to find and unique, like Funky Buddha from Ft Lauderdale. I have been several times since their opening and appreciate the bartender's, mainly Michael, knowledge and passion for locally crafted beer, as well as the inviting, clean environment. Definitely a beer lovers go-to spot.",
"It's like a taking a tour of the best Fl breweries without leaving your barstool!\n\nMy bf and I wanted to do a little day drinking on our day off. I had already purchased a Groupon for 2 flights for $14 at Pint and Brew. (Great deal BTW!) So I pulled up the website and was super impressed by all the local beers!\n\nThe Bartender Michael was extremely helpful and friendly. I believe he's in charge of the selection and he is very well versed in the local craft beer scene. \n\nThe bf and I tried a variety of beers but my hands down favorite and my new all time favorite beer EVER is the Funky Buddah Blueberry cobbler beer. Sounds girly, I know. But try it! It's not anything like the blueberry garbage put out by Sea Dog!\n\nI look forward to returning here and seeing what interesting beers Michael adds to the lineup!",
"Awesome neighborhood bar. The beer selection is superb and they have a few wines in case you drag along a non beer drinker. The atmosphere is trendy and smoking is outside only so you can enjoy your beer without getting lung cancer. They have a shuffle board table and you can order food in from Mystic Fish and Positano's. Both have very good food. Check this place out!",
"This is a great place for craft beer. All the draughts are from Florida breweries and also include a few from a different state which rotates each month. This month is Georgia. It's a great concept in an area that really needs a cool bar with awesome beer. They also have a shuffleboard table, so fun! The bar has great decor, plenty of seating and a very comfortable neighborhood bar feel. If you are hungry order from Mystic Fish or Postiano's in the same plaza for great food. Looking forward to my next visit",
"This place is magic. It offers the best of Florida breweries, near and far. I highly recommend sampling a beer or 6. Mike and Laurel are excellent bartenders and keep the drinks and conversation coming. Please visit Pint and Brew at least once and I assure you, you'll go back again and again. Mike and Laurel are the nicest people and they know their shit about beers!"

"Very nice and new panera. Usually busy, which leaves the employees looking harried and tired. They try but often don't go overboard in order to help. If there were more employees, especially one wandering the dining room and cleaning it, things would be much better.",
"Probably the 4th time I have been here, and I have never reviewed this place. Parking can be challenging so be patient. Look out for the people walking to their cars, and once found you will have a jackpot of a parking spot.\nService is very friendly and very helpful. Since it can be crowded inside it's a little bit hard to find a table, but you will find one, or you can sit outside with your doggie but be prepared to be hot if it is that time of the year.\nThis time I ordered the seasonal salad with turkey, wheatberry, and maple vinegrette, yummy and I ordered the asiago steak sandwich. I love the asiago cheesebread the most.\nI forget it is here bc this is on the outskirt of Wiregrass mall, but when I go I am very happy.\nI also had a surprise waiting for me bc I did not know that on my Panera card I had a free pastry from my birthday. How nice.",
"It is Panera, so the food in my opinion is good.\n\nAs for the location and parking situation, it can be difficult to find parking during busy hours.\n\nThe biggest reason that I rated this high is the cleanliness of the building and more importantly the service. The entire staff at this Panera location has been super nice. I am visiting on vacation and have stopped by in a couple times. This morning I was even greeted by my name by one of the workers as I walked in.\n\nI recommend this place for studying, dining in, or a quick break.",
"Great place and as usual... Great food! \n\nI tried the roasted turkey wheatberry salad and it was fantastic. Also had a side of the autumn squash soup. All was fresh and the meal was served quick. This surprised me given the volume of customers that were there. I can't fault the place for having too any customers and think the staff did a great job of getting the food out quick.",
"I just love Panera, everything is quick and tasty. Cinnamon crunch bagel w/ hazelnut cream cheese, sausage & gouda quiche, Italian combo sandwich, baked potato soup... the list goes on. My oh my I think I'm salivating.",
"This location is awful - always too busy & overcrowded. The crowd is tired, hungry & rude. There are usually no places to sit & the drink area is a zoo. Skip this place & go elsewhere!",
"This Panera Bread is really good. We have gone here several times and everytime the people are friendly the food is delicious the establishment is clean, and the atmosphere overall is great. Our kids love the grilled cheese sandwich, I love the Asiago steak sandwich and my wife likes the grilled cheese sandwiches and salads. The French onion soup is also really really good.",
"Love, love, love Panera Bread, too bad the parking lot is for everyone at the mall. So if you get there when they're having an event or something of that nature, your walking a very long distance to Panera. Wish they had designated spots for customers.",
"Food was good. Parking is a little so so. I had the you pick 2 Chicken Ceasar and French Onion soup. Overall, good. Place is clean and neat and finding a table is not that bad.",
"Love this place. The staff is so squared away. They are nice, are on top of everything, fast, and professional. Been here tens of times with never an issue and always leave feeling like they gave it their all. Great managers here too."

"While the theaters here are just large rooms with seats, tables and chairs, the movies are a reasonable 5.50, and food and beer are also reasonable.",
"The decor put me off at first, but I really enjoyed my movie going experience here. A server discreetly waits on tables throughout the movie. Food and drinks including beer and liquor are all reasonably priced to be around the same as a chain restaurant like Applebees or Chili's. \n\nIt really is an all inclusive dinner and a movie experience.",
"This is a perfect Friday night place to hang out and relax in. I am always exhausted on Fridays and i hate to have to get dressed up to go out after a whole week of work. So we come to the Cinema Cafe. They have a full bar and great food with an extensive menu of all kinds of stuff, too. My least favorite thing to get here is popcorn, believe it or not. Despite the bar I can bring my son here and feel comfortable. They have kid-friendly food and movies. The place is old and outdated; the furniture is, too. They do not have a state of the art screen and sound system, but it is a fun, relaxed atmosphere with good food and good prices. Get there early though because it is packed (especially on an opening night) and the kitchen can run slow.",
"I keep trying this place because it's a thrill for my kids to eat and watch a movie but it keeps disappointing. This visit they had 2 theaters start at same time with 4 servers attending to both theaters. We were in line before doors opening and one of first ones in and seated. We waited a full hour before receiving our drinks! The food came nearly half way through the movie. Our kids desert included with their kids was never offered and our check was brought. It happened to be perfect timing though because the movie credits came up anyway. This place needs major updating to the interior and menu. I'll be dining at a restaurant that provides good food and service from now on and then seeing my movie in a regular theater. Total disappointment..again.",
"The prices at this theater can not be beaten. It's $6.50 (I think?) for adult, and $5 for children/students/seniors. This is by far cheaper than any other place in the area.\n\nThe theater is all one level, and the tables come with comfortable swivel chairs. Because everything is one level, if there are people sitting in front of you, expect to have part of the screen blocked. There is also a bit more walking around than in a normal theater. The servers try to quiet, and sneak past, but there's only so much they can do if they're helping someone in the front.\n\nI really like their chicken tenders - and, in fact, can not think of anyplace that does better. Both times we've gone, we've ordered their Cafe Platter - which comes with chicken wings, chicken tenders, cheese sticks, fried mushrooms, onion rings, and french fries, for $16. This was more than enough for my husband and I; when we took the kids this last week, it was just about perfect for the family.\n\nI did order a popcorn this last trip, and was somewhat disappointed. It came out on a tray, rather than in a bucket. Half of it was fine, but the other half was on the line between 'okay' and 'burned' - it was a deeper shade of brown and had just a slight bitterness to it. It is a little sad when a movie theater serves marginally burned popcorn.\n\nThe theater screen, at least in the room we were in, is off to the left side. Its positioning makes it a little awkward to see if you're sitting at the right of the room. The rooms are also on the small size, so you're pretty much sitting close no matter where you are.\n\nThe pros are definitely most of the food, the price, and the location (a couple of blocks from my house). These pros definitely outweigh the few cons.",
"Cinema Cafe is in a little strip plaza in Clearwater and it's easy to miss. The plaza itself nor the theatre are nothing to look twice at and are in fact a bit run down, but for this reason they offer SUPER cheap movie tickets so that's a big plus (currently tickets are $6.50 for adults and $5 for kids). They've been in business here for many years. They also sometimes run movies here that are not being shown at the main theatres as well as the same big screen movies that you can find at any other theatre.\n\nAs the name implies, they also have a full menu, which is served by waitresses while patrons get comfy, sit down and get ready to watch the movie. Rather than traditional row style movie seats, these are just regular chairs at tables so that everyone can eat a full meal if they'd like. The food itself was nothing spectacular, but considering there aren't any other theaters around to get dinner and a movie at the same time, it's unique and a fun idea to switch up normal plans on a friday night. As a final bonus, they serve a full liquor bar here and luckily they do not allow smoking inside the rooms. So overall it's a nice place to grab dinner/drinks/movies all in one spot, can't beat it.",
"Sound is not balanced, screen flickers and it smells like old deep fried food. The screen was not large enough and the picture was outside the edges. \n\nOverall I was not terribly happy, but it's a great idea. \n\nThere is plenty of parking though. So that's good.",
"Not bad food, overall, but some (all?) of the menu items are obviously microwaved. \n\nThe seats are packed in, which can make it difficult to sit and get up when needed. \n\nOverall, a different way to see a movie, and the food is palatable, if not excellent.",
"The place is a little old-looking but don't let that misguide you! The staff is courteous and the food is delicious! The screens are big and the sound system is fantastic!\nI come here a few times a month and it's a really fun place to enjoy a movie and a good meal for less than the cost of a movie with popcorn and a drink at a regular theater.",
"Love to have the comfort of sitting at table and eating while..watching movie..beer is available..cocktails as well..pizza. sandwiches..salads..wings. cost is not high..orders are usually taken just before movie starts and they give the check after..they take credit cards..there are also coupons to discount the order..never enough servers but there is no business to support the server income so i understand.."

"Best Indian food excellent service and they have more option to choose food nice place to try Indian food in harleysville",
"As an Indian, I am especially picky about Indian food\n\nWith this said, the food is fresh, flavors were perfectly balanced and service was impeccable. I walked away feeling pleasantly surprised and full (but not stuffed).\n\nWe ordered chicken tikka masala and mutter paneer. Oh, paneer is homemade - a rarity!",
"Me and my wife have an obsession with finding good butter chicken. It's a never ending quest and to be honest, this is the first time in years we have found a local eatery who gets it right. Seriously, it was excellent. Sauce was the perfect consistency, right spices and tomato flavor, chicken right off the grill. The gentleman who set up my take out order was prompt and courteous, food was up fast. They have a lunch buffet I'm definitely going to hit up next time!",
"I am by no means an expert on Indian food. We ordered a couple of dishes as take out to try it out. The flavors were delicious. Subtle layers, rich, well developed flavors. Spicy but not overwhelming. The naan with coconut & raisins was very tasty. The service was prompt. A nice change from my regular Chinese or Italian. I will be going back.",
"My husband and I ate here tonight. It was delicious and the service was very good and friendly. We recently moved to this area and are so excited to discover this place. Will definitely be back for more!",
"My wife and I ordered take out. They did not have any vindaloo or any lamb available and both are on the menu. The food we did get (chicken tika masala, samosa, etc.) was just OK and we both felt sick afterwards. Would not recommend or go back.",
"This is my new favorite restaurant in the Harleysville area. My wife, daughter, and I ate here on a Monday night. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, my wife ordered the goat madras, and my daughter got the lamb biryani. All three dishes were amazing. I don't think I've ever had better Indian food.\n\nThe service was also great--our server filled up our glasses at least 3 times.\n\nBonus: soft drinks are reasonably priced at $1.50, unlike so many other places that charge you $2 or $3 for a fountain drink.\n\nThe only regret I have is I'm pretty sure I'll end up gaining a few pounds as a result of good Indian food so close to home, LOL!",
"I'll start off by saying that I'm not an Indian food expert by any stretch and was a little skeptical to try it out. We stopped in for lunch today to try something new and different. I must say that we were pleasantly surprised and everything was absolutely amazing! We were blown away by the flavors of the food and service. Can't wait to come back again and try out more of the menu! I'm so glad to see another quality restaurant come to the Harleysville area.",
"This place was great. The menu was very easy to read with descriptions of each meal rather than just the dish name. My son and I both got curry, his lamb and mine chicken - each extra spicy. It was delicious. The spice was present, but not obnoxious. The Naan bread is separate but comes in multiple flavors like garlic or cheese. It was easy for us to share and try each others meal. The staff was very friendly and attentive to us. We will definitely be back to try the tandoori and butter chicken.",
"The food and service were excellent. Lamb Rogan Josh was full of flavor and nice, tender pieces of lamb. Palaak paneer was creamy and flavorful with delightful pieces of homemade paneer. Naan was light and airy. Hyderabadi biryani had large pieces of tender lamb and full of spices. Would have given 5 stars but there were annoying fruit flies buzzing around the table."

"Been twice for dinner and it is fantastic! Each dish is bursting with flavor and fresh ingredients. We tried satay, chicken wings, bbq pork Thai style, Rice Thai Bistro house fried rice, pad thai, Thai shrimp salad, tom ka chicken, stir fried eggplant, stir fried mussels, panang curry tilapia and jungle curry (no coconut milk on jungle curry, a northern thai dish). We love Thai food and the food here is superb. Well worth the trip. BYOB. Nice dining area. Also take out. Reasonable prices. Highest recommendation.",
"The Massaman Beef is great as is the Pad Thai, Chive Dumpling too. \n\nGo here, do it do it!",
"What a great restaurant! The food is amazing! Have eaten here twice now and can't wait to go back. The owner, Brian, is so nice and you can tell he is passionate about what he is doing, he came out and talked to us both times we were there. The restaurant is small and so charming. The food though, that's the main event of course! Delicious! The Pad See Ew was stellar, as was the Beef Massaman (AMAZING - my husband is craving it). We have also tried the Jungle Curry which was excellent and the Pad Thai was good too - however, the owner says the Pad Thai is very authentic, so it does taste very different than most restaurant's Pad Thai, but I enjoyed it, but could see some people being surprised by it. The Pad See Ew is a great mild option for people new to Thai. So excited to see this option in West County!",
"Due to the reviews I thought I give this place a try. I have to say it was very disappointing. The owner is part Thai, it's sad to say he can't make papaya salad (some tum). The salad was pre-made, dry, and bland. Thai fried rice, my suggestion is to add Thai basil, less onions and chop it into smaller pieces. Pad see ew, was disappointed too. It was bland and I had two pieces of collard green. Try using Chinese broccoli instead of collard green. If you want something tastier and less expensive go to next door to Pho Manchester or in Brentwood try Mai Lee. Sad to say I will not going back to Rice Thai Bistro.",
"What a find! First let me say that I am a big fan of Asian cooking and had high hopes when we first went to the Rice Thai Bistro. While it is easy to make a quick judgment about new places, I generally withhold my comments until I have been to a new establisment at least twice. Well, here goes. \nOMG! While the atmosphere is quaint given the number of tables, I was impressed by the open comments being made by others at their tables as they received and began tasting the beautifully prepared dishes. It wasn't until we received our plates that we truly understood the excitement and fun others were having. \nThe amazing part of our experience at Rice Thai Bistro is the care taken by the owners/chefs Brian and Nina to present the food almost like art. From the crab rangoon, the simplest of salads or complex dishes like Massaman Beef or Yellow Curry with Squid, each dish feels like it was especially made for you. Can we all say \"Flavortown\"!!\nI could go on, but if you want my advice, JUST GO. GO NOW, or you might not get a table. See you there!!!",
"Wouldn't even give a star. Just posted three pics of my Togo order and I thought it was a joke when I got home. That's exactly they had no business no people in there when I picked it up at around 6 Saturday night. Not the way you do business fyi. Check the pics out. No I do not recommend it. Had green curry with chicken and this is eggplant dish. Green curry chicken was not even half full in the container for around $10. Eggplant around $10. A spoon full of rice all for around $32. What a joke!",
"This is a very small place with just 8 tables. They have been open for about 3 months now and I finally made it in to give them a shot. I'm always on the hunt for a great plate of Pad Thai and frequently disappointed...not this time!\n\nThey offer an $8 lunch special which includes soup, salad and the entree. Another two bucks gets an iced tea with lime wedges and free refills.\n\nThe soup comes out first. Piping hot semi-clear broth with a good quantity of vegetables and some parsley floating on top. The broth had a very delicate flavor and was light on the tongue. It is slightly salty which really brings out the flavor of the vegetables - carrots, onion, potato, celery, parsley...you can taste each one individually as you scoop up spoonfuls of the stuff.\n\nNext up is the salad. Nothing too fancy on first glance - iceberg lettuce, sliced red cabbage and strings of fresh carrot. Looks can be deceiving though and this is one really unique salad because they dress it with something made in-house. I couldn't quite identify the flavor so I took a little sip if the liquid left in the bottom of the salad bowl and thought I detected a very light pineapple flavor. I asked the owner and he told me it was pineapple vinaigrette. I've never even heard of pineapple vinaigrette before but what a great idea!\n\nPad Thai was the final component of my lunch experience and it arrived piping hot with a trio of spice offerings on the side. The first thing that struck me was how much fresh stuff was piled on top of the noodles and pork. There were abundant green onions and bean sprouts such that the diner could choose how much of each to keep with the dish. On the side was a small bowl with crushed peanuts - same idea - and a wedge of fresh lime. Under the fresh stuff was a delicious mix of perfectly cooked noodles in a slightly sweet sauce with obvious chunks of egg that was added late enough in the cooking process to be less than the well-done usually seen in dishes like this. Along with the surprise of the egg was a different preparation of tofu than I've seen previously. They cut the block into pieces that were roughly 1/4\"x1/4\"x1\". The result is that they lacked the unattractive attributes that tofu can quickly develop in this dish. Instead, they were slightly sweet bits of flavor and added nicely to the texture of the dish as well. \n\nAll in all, I'm impressed!",
"Great place! Very small and comfortable. Served personally by the owner, Brian. Pad Thai was delicious with soup and salad that came free with the lunch. Sniped some gyoza from my mom which was also very good. My brother had green curry and also said it was yummy.\n\nIt's an honest-to-goodness small immigrant-owned restaurant among an ocean of lifeless West County chains. Feels more like a place you'd find out of the way downtown than in a suburban strip mall. And that is a good thing.",
"I came here with a couple of friends for lunch. One friend ordered the massaman beef & the other 2 friends ordered pad thai. The massaman beef came with a separate sauce. Ummmmm, that's not how my family (Thai that is) eats it. But, okay. I didn't get to taste it. The pad thai came with everything but a side of sugar. Ok, then. Again, I didn't get to taste it. I got the moo ping (Thai bbq pork) & fried tofu. The moo ping was flavorless & bland. Sooo, not like home. Tiny skewers of pork with mostly oil. The sauce didn't help much. The fried tofu was so-so. The sauce that came with it wasn't my fave. The authenticity is somewhat there. Unless, you call this Americanized Thai food which to me this is what the food is. Service was ok. Perfect location. But, turning left across Manchester can be a bit tough at times.",
"Great meal! The Crab Rangoon was fantastic and the shrimp Pad Kee Mao was spicy and wonderful. It is BYOB so bring some beer or wine and ask to meet the chef Brian - he is from Bangkok and cooks a great dinner!"

"The Mug in Irvington had its soft opening last night. Despite the glitches with the online tickets not completely functioning well, a lot of people seemed to make their way to the new location just fine. The burgers, tenderloins, french fries, and onion rings were hitting the tables in full force. The location in Irvington is an interesting spot. It's in a growing area occupying one space of a 3 space strip next to the Pennsy Trail. It's not a large space, and the parking lot is not large considering it will be shared with the other 2 businesses in the strip. That may be why, unlike the Greenfield location, there is no car service at the Irvington location However, unlike the Greenfield spot, the Irvington shop will server beer! Sweet! Speaking of sweet, this location still has ice cream, so relax. The grand opening is tomorrow, Wednesday, 9/27/16, beginning at 11am.",
"It's not very often that I find myself experiencing a new restaurant in its first 24 hours, but such was the case as I stopped by The Mug, the new Irvington location of Greenfield's The Mug, a \"farm-to-curb\" experience emphasizing a locally sourced menu with top-quality, drug-free beef, pork and chicken from Tyner Pond Farm, a farm right down the road from the original Greenfield location and, as an added bonus, a farm that is opening up Tyner Pond Market right next to The Mug in Irvington. I looked inside tonight and it looks like they're getting mighty close to their own opening. \n\nThe Mug is located at 118 S. Audubon Road, just South of East Washington Street in a three-space strip center that houses the Hummingbird Cafe and the soon to be open Tyner Pond Market. \n\nIt's an interesting layout. The building itself has been renovated nicely. It looks like the parking lot has been newly striped. There's two accessible parking spots, though they aren't quite ADA compliant. There's two curb cuts at opposite ends of the building, though the one at the end toward The Mug is weird because it actually opens into an identifiable parking spot. To be honest, that's weird and kind of stupid. \n\nThe parking lot is small, though so is the strip center. The Mug offers an outdoor dining section that is modestly sheltered. I would think it would work fairly well in rain, though a blowing rain would likely be out of the question. Unlike the Greenfield location, the indoor area actually has some decent seating - mostly tables with a handful of booths. It's not spacious, but it's more generous than Greenfield. However, Greenfield offers the actual drive-in/curb experience and this location does not. So, it's a trade-off. \n\nYou enter their front, two-sided glass doors and go up to the order counter. Unlike Greenfield, they do have two registers instead of one but even today only one was open. You place your order, pay, they give you a number and you either wait for your food to go or grab a table and they bring it to you. You can eat for less than $10 even with a combo, though you can easily go into the mid-teens. \n\nAs is true in Greenfield, you should be aware that the \"combo\" includes their \"classic\" fries rather than their highly popular (and much tastier) fresh-cut fries. The combo includes a medium drink and fries. They do not combo with their fresh-cut fries, though you can order them separately. I was impressed that the person working the counter did explain this - one of the complaints I had from my Greenfield experience. \n\nI ordered Aunt Polly's Sloppy Joe for $4.50 plus a combo. My entire meal was $8.18. I already knew I liked the Sloppy Joe, though I'll confess I find the sandwich a bit small. These classic fries were significantly better than the ones I tried in Greenfield, though I think I would likely upgrade the next time around. I heard at least one other customer say they didn't like the classic fries. \n\nThe atmosphere is definitely busy and rather loud. It would be an autistic person's nightmare as it's noisy and people are fairly close. As a neat little perk, the front windows can be opened and the place turned into more of an open air concept. \n\nIt feels weird to evaluate a business in its first 24 hours. I expect some of the little things that bugged me to be worked out. For example, the menu identifies that iced tea is available but it was not out tonight. My system doesn't do well with sodas and that would definitely impact my future business. I'm guessing less than half the tables are truly wheelchair friendly. I also had trouble passing through in front of the outside tables, though I didn't immediately see the second curb cut.\n\nThe staff was friendly and helpful, though you could tell they were learning their way around things. Condiments are on a table area by the trash - not bad, but a bit high for wheelchairs. There were no utensils (plastic) out, though I was able to ask for them. \n\nThey do offer ice cream, of course, and this location will also be serving beer. So, there's that. The atmosphere fits the neighborhood - urban casual with mostly simple, comfortable decor.\n\nIt's entirely possible that The Mug will jump up to a 4 for me, but the modest accessibility issues and overall experience make me lean more toward the three than the four-star at this point. If you've read my reviews, then you already know that's the same rating I gave the Greenfield location - but for different reasons. I liked it and I will go again, but my sense is that The Mug won't become a destination spot for me. It wasn't overly relaxing, an important thing for me, and I almost felt an obligation to rush my dining experience and after a hard day's work I really tend to seek more of a relaxing atmosphere. However, this little corner is becoming kind of cool - The Mug is a nice add, Tyner Pond Market will be a gem, Coal Yard Coffee is around the corner and there's room for a little more.",
"Yummy food and super friendly staff. Has a fun vibe and they've done a great job remodelling. Though they have some normal opening night issues, their hospitality and attitude totally outshine them.",
"Very clean and I love the front patio. The food not so much. For about $18.00 (including tip) I had a burger, onion rings and fountain drink. Neither the burger patties nor onion rings had much flavor. Not saying they were bad, just not really good. \n\nI arrived before the dinner rush and the staff was pretty casual. The cashier was friendly and professional, but a few other staff members seemed a bit more interested in horseplay. That being said the place was very busy a short while later and others seemed to be enjoying the food, so maybe my expectations were too high.",
"waited anxiously for Mug to open WOW what a disappointment prices way too high $30 plus dollars for 3 people one was a child I had hot dog the menu promised would be great NOT Paid extra for hand cut fries and got soggy overdone mess. I was starving and ate the food but not going to visit again until things settle down BIGGEST disappointment Their root beer was served in paper cups and it was warm! what a sacrilege Iced mugs are a must not cheap paper cups that start to fall apart before you finish drink! Beware of overpriced poorly executed menu!",
"This \"Tree Hugger\", as I am defined on the menu, won't be dining there... disappointed that there is not more than Grilled Cheese for the non-meat eater. A veg burger would be a nice addition. I hope they grow vegetables on the farm, I am hoping to buy those from the market next door.",
"When I heard that The Mug was opening up a sit down restaurant in Irvington, I was anticipating its opening. So I gave it try, what a disappointment. The ordering system is the same as Greenfield..at the counter. They even press for a tip before the 'service' begins. You even order the beer and wine at the counter. Very strange.\n\nThe food. I had the tenderloin. Very large as usual, but over-breaded and a bit greasy. The up charge on the fresh cut fries of $3.25 is a bit much for the quality of the fries. My dining partner had the bacon cheese burger and again, a bit greasy. Onion rings were ok. \n\nWe sat at the 'bar' area which was a 12 foot section of counter, 21 and over, where you still had to get your own condiments and pay for beer/wine as you go. I just don't get the no wait staff other than food delivery people. Why not go with traditional servers and dining experience?\n\nIt's just not that good of an overall dining experience.",
"Just dined here for the first time. Long line the whole time we were there. My companion had the sloppy joe and it was very good, would highly recommend it, though it should have been hotter. I had the special grilled cheese with apple slices. It also should have been hotter and should have had more cheese and apples as I found myself eating just bread. Having said that with a few tweaks it could be a very delicious sandwich. We will definitely go back and hope that they get the kinks worked out.",
"We live close and happened to stumble into the mug on the night of their \"soft opening\" and were sooo impressed! \nLoved our burgers (jalapeño popper and original). I got sweet potato fries and my husband got the fresh cut garlic. So so tasty. We were chatting with friends and didn't pay attention to the wait, which was long but it was the first night but like I said we didn't even really notice the time passing because we were having a good time sitting a talking with friends. The lady who rang us up came by to check on us and kept us updated on our orders, she was very kind and the overall service is very friendly and personable. \nI loved the sweet potato fries and the burger was warm, fresh, and delicious!\nOur second time back this past Sunday was slow again and unfortunately this time our food was overall pretty cold :/. My husband tried the tenderloin, HUGE and tasty. And I got the jalapeño popper burger. They were out of sweet potato fries so we tried the original (not the fresh cut) and they were actually really good (also the only warm part of our meal).\nWe definitely aren't giving up on mug (our great first experience is keeping it at a 4 star), but are hoping they work through the new restaurant hiccups quickly!",
"I live nearby and have been to Greenfield location, so arrived with high expectations.\n\nClean renovated space.\n\nWell over 30 min wait for food -- was here on a busy Saturday. In comparison, a similar order at their other location would take 5-10 minutes.\n\nGood burgers, but hand-cut fries limp. Clearly they tried to rush them out of the fryer to meet demand.\n\nLots of links to work out. Will try again in a couple months to see if any better."

"Lovebird, the much anticipated new fast casual chicken restaurant from the people that brought you Jules Pizza finally opened today in Doylestown. I parked my car a few blocks away and as I rounded the corner I could already smell the chicken cooking. The anticipation continued to build...\n\nLovebird sources its chicken from Gerber's Poultry, and Amish chicken farm in Ohio that raises chickens humanely, eschews the use of antibiotics and feeds the chickens a vegetarian diet. The grain used to feed the chickens is certified GMO and pesticide free. The result is some of the best chicken you will ever taste, \"just like Grandma's chicken,\" if you were fortunate enough to have grandparents who grew up on a farm.\n\nThe menu at Lovebird is small but has choices for everyone. They serve fried chicken in as small a portion as two pieces up to the whole bird. The fried chicken has a wonderful crunchy breading but is perfectly fried as not to be greasy. I ordered a two piece leg and thigh combination and it was perfectly cooked. \n\nThey also serve salads and sandwichs. I ordered the Seoul Bird, the current special sandwich which I had made with a miso garlic marinated grilled chicken breast, and it was served on a Le Bus roll with cucumbers, kimchee, cilantro and a spicy mayo. It was one of the best chicken sandwiches that I have had in a long time. \n\nThey also offer salads, vegetarian proteins as well as some small side dishes and Boylans sodas. \n\nEven the packaging deserves mention. The plastic bag is made of completely recycled plastic, and the containers were all cardboard so they are easily recyclable.\n\nDoylestown is lucky to have such a wonderful new business open in town. I cannot wait to return.",
"I work right next to lovebird so this was highly anticipated by me. I got the lovebird sandwich, fries and coleslaw (my husband also got a sandwich) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. My only thing is I wish the bun was toasted or warmed, but that's personal preference. It was still delicious! My other suggestion would be have a menu sign up, and have mashed potatoes because I like fried chicken and mash. \n\nSo happy to have this place nearby! My husband and I said that we are excited to have a place close that is quick food that is also high quality.",
"Full disclosure: my daughter works at this location.\n\nI ordered the Lovebird sandwich, which can be prepared fried (breaded) or grilled, or with tofu in place of chicken. My meal came within 5 minutes and was served to me at one of the high bar-stools near the window.\n\nThe chicken was cooked to perfection and was tender and juicy. The pickles and coleslaw added some great flavor and the roll was soft and tasty. \n\nThe key ingredient is the Lovebird sauce, which appears to be a mixture of Worcestershire, mayo and BBQ. Don't quote me on that, but it is great on a sandwich. \n\nStore is clean and simple, as a restaurant should be. Restroom was neat, clean, and had what you need.\n\nAll in all, a great place to get a meal. Will return.",
"Stopped for lunch, and got a 4 pack of Chic and the Brussels sprouts.\n\nThe quality of the actual chicken and seasoning is very good, would prefer a little more substantial coating - the \"fried\" part was relatively thin. Was served lukewarm, not hot. I recognize they are using organic chicken, and these birds do not get too big, but note: 2 pc breast and wing, or leg and thy are not quite a full serving. The wing, was barely worth the effort. \n\nThe sprouts were good and tasty, but a little greasy, which you notice more as they cool off. These came out a few min after the lukewarm chicken, but these were right out of the fryer - hot!\n\nThen there is the space, again a new shop, but as soon as there are 5-6 people in line, it is loud! Needs some work on the acoustics. Seating is one community table ( could sit maybe 10 people) and about 5 window-bar type seats. \n\nService was very good, pleasant, but a little awkward ( another new shop issue - I hope) .\n\nI love fried chicken, so I hope to see some improvements, as for Dtown not much for other options.",
"Got the gluten-free popcorn chicken, salad and Brussels Sprouts side. Everything was so fresh and tasted delicious! The best sauce (in my opinion) was the Lovebird sauce. Will definitely be coming back! Advice: call in order ahead of time!",
"Stopped in on a Friday night for the first time. We got our meal to go. As soon as you walk in it was very noisy. You can eat at a community table or sit along the window (not much room). Waited about 20 minutes (better off calling order in). \nWhen we finally got our food it was just ok a little too expensive for this kind of atmosphere and in my opinion it's a lot like Chick-fil-A. I think if I'm going to eat a chicken sandwich that is on the same order as Chick-fil-A I'd rather eat at Chick-fil-A. \nThis is not a gourmet chicken sandwich. \nAnd to top it off they charged a 15% gratuity even if your just picking up your order. Really Lovebird? For what?",
"We tried Lovebird tonight for the first time. It was a little pricey for a takeout/counter service place (we spent about as much as we would at an Applebee's) but I'd absolutely pay it again in a heartbeat. \n\nI got the lovebird sandwich and my husband got the special of the month; we both opted for the hand cut fries. They had several sauces on the counter for dipping and our overall favorite was the lovebird sauce which I was told is a combination of mayo, sriracha, worcestershire, and I something else I forget. \n\nThe chicken was tender and juicy and the sauce, pickles, and slaw were a nice accompaniment to it. The fries were perfectly done as well. I'm looking forward to trying their two piece meal next time. \n\nWe'll definitely be coming back and I highly recommend trying this place out! As a word of warning, we did notice a few take out customers waiting a long while for their food, so they may have a few kinks to work out in their first weeks moving forward.",
"If you enjoy soggy fried chicken skin this is the place for you. Gross!",
"Nothing to rave about for the price. 4 pieces of fried chicken and fries was $14. Chicken was not dry. Tasted Ok. 8 pieces of fried chicken at ACME on Mondays is $6.99. Could use salt and pepper on the tables.",
"Since we were walking our dogs downtown on a beautiful spring night,my friend asked the staff for a menu to look at with me outside so that we could place a \"to go\" order. We were told by the staff that they only had 3 menus and that we would have to go on line to their website to view the menu and order-even though we would be in sight in front of the restaurant and would return the menu once we looked at it and placed our order with staff. Ahhhh....no."

"I LOVE EEGEE'S!!!!\n\nThe last time I had an Eegee was at least 12 years ago, and it is just as tasty as I remember it. For those of you who do not know, you can only get these tasty fruit icee's in Tucson, \n\nI came all the way from Washington, DC to Tucson to get one and it was worth every mile and every mediocre meal between then and their tasty sandwiches!",
"Eegees is an icon in Tucson, and it was once one of the best sandwich places in town, but their sandwiches have dropped in quality and taste over the years. It is now way overrated. Get any of the straight servings, and it is mostly the bread and lettuce that you will taste but it will still be on a mediocre bun. The only way to save the flavor is order heavy meat but that still doesn't save the lackluster bun. Just a bit better than Subway, if you order heavy, but not by much, unless you stick with the italian ice.They are always primo, tasty and worth the trip. Parking at this location is a real pain and poorly designed.",
"When is a chain not a chain? When it is a local institution up against the giant Subway's of the world. If you live in Tucson and you want a fast-food sandwich, you should be going to Eegee's. A sandwich is a sandwich. And frankly on that count, they are about the same as Subway. They have a decent selection of various sub sandwiches. But that's not really why you go. \n\nFirst, you have the Eegee frozen slushes. These alone are worth the price of admission, although I wish they'd add a couple of the \"flavors of the month\" to the full time menu. But I guess that's part of the appeal. The other thing that always brings me back, are the pizza fries. French fries, marinara sauce, cheese, and oregano. Yummy. These are the real reasons to go to Eegee's. The sandwiches are really the side-dish to these tasty offerings.\n\nNow, what month is the watermelon Eegee? ;)",
"This is more of a two and a half star review. Last week, my husband and I stopped in to grab something to eat after driving around all day in Phoenix and then in Tucson. I thought that maybe they were closing and that's why the service was just so-so. It was only 8:30 and according to this, they close at 11pm. So, now I just don't know what their problem was. \n\nEverything was fine until we were sitting eating and three or four employees (one who was off the clock and packed up to leave) were hanging around talking about this, that, and the other. It wasn't bad, just awkward to know that much about a stranger's afterwork plans, haha. Also, the girl who was taking the order that night just seemed unenthusiastic about well.. anything. I guess that comes with taking orders all day though.",
"Great fries and of course delicious eegee flavor of the month drinks.",
"This is a great Eegee's, a VERY busy Eegee's, but they have a high turnover rate with customer serving and seating so the crowd is never an issue.....UNLESS you park in their tiny parking lot.\n\nThe drive-thru line often backs up into the main parking area, blocking in customers who went inside and are now trying to leave. You seriously need a shoehorn to get in and out of that lot, so we usually just park across the street.\n\nWe went around lunchtime and a lot of the tables were dirty, but RIGHT as I noticed (and wrote my Quick Tip!) someone came out and wiped them down. \n\nGreat local chain!",
"Good sandwiches, the bread is good, ranch fries good but something we can make at home. Slurpees are the best ! I like the strawberries my girl loves the watermelon. Service was good, food was quick, place appears semi clean. I would come back again in the future but wouldn't go out of my way for it. Would b great to have one in Phoenix !",
"Delicious, fresh food. Quality ingredients. They put oregano on the subs, yum! Roberto was friendly and kept a smile as we took awhile to make decisions and had a complicated order.",
"Food is ok ..But the staff is a bunch of immature assholes..Real mouthy and ignorant..I went there 10AM today..If they were my employees I would fire them right away..Probably will too since they have problems keeping people..Just hope they don't mess with the food..Beware...!!",
"Lemon Eegees.... Yum! Nice way to cool off with a refreshing slushy! I always look forward to one when I am visiting!"

"You might need a chart or other visual aid here: Doson was Chinese's on Oak Street uptown which became Doson on Oak Street and then moved to Doson on North Carrollton. Despite all this musical chairs business, the Pho is comfort food goodness and the crab rangoons are still the best I have ever tasted. My fiance loves the spring rolls and the chicken fried rice. I am also a fan of the grilled pork with vermicelli noodles. Being that our neighborhood was suffering from the loss of Pho Tau Bay, this was an excellent addition. Good prices and fast take out. I have only dined in once or twice, but it was pleasant enough, nothing fancy but good service. This restaurant used to have weird days that they were closed, but I think they have settled on Sunday. I can live with that.",
"I had really hoped Doson had moved onto Carrollton to fill the void left in the wake of Pho Tau Bay's failure to return to the area. Like I had really, really hoped.\n\nBut alas Doson wasn't much more than slightly upscale Chinese with some Vietnamese on the menu. Ah well, you live and you learn. And i guess you can always drive to the west bank.",
"Dear god, this is probably my favorite restaurant, for 2 main reasons: \n\npho like none other, and the best spring rolls i have ever tasted. \n\nI'd like to put my star-rating in context: I am a pho monster. I like a pho that isn't too oily, that isn't too americanized (but, nothing that andrew zimmern would make a tv show about), and that comes with a bunch of thai basil. Here, I like the chicken just as much as the beef. The chicken appears to be/is all white meat. The Beef is brisket and meatballs. \n\nThe Spring Rolls have earned the 5 stars. I know, i know, I'm probably overdoing it with this rating, but hear me out. The spring rolls have a delicious amount of plump shrimp (none of that butterflied crap), pork, and plenty of mint. \n\nAlso, I think they have the best pecan shrimp ever (if you're in the mood for a more chinese cuisine). \n\nAlso, my roommate fantasizes about their crab rangoons. you really ought to try those as well.",
"So I very unfairly associated Vietnamese restaurants with Pho - which happens to mostly be comprised of chicken broth (and a bunch of other fancy mess I can't even possibly begin to know of). But my roommate, two good buds and I decided to visit Doson since it's practically right down the street from me. \n\nIt's a pretty quaint little place, unassuming, typical Vietnamese restaurant decor . . . nothing really memorable. I ordered the Bun Chay Kho (I was stoked there were vegetarian option on the menu). When it arrived I was a little confused because the noodles weren't quite the vermicelli noodles I've been accustomed to my whole life - they were thicker and not as translucent. \n\nBut anyway I poured the soy based sauce over my dish and then proceeded to consume the contents of my plate very voraciously . . . okay well as much as possible, because I had mindlessly noshed on some snacks right before dinner plans were made. Anyway, I'm pleased to say that it was definitely one of the most pleasant vermicelli noodle salads I've had. They definitely didn't skimp on the fried tofu bits and they nicely soaked up the sauce - which was the typical salty soy, but slightly sweet with hints of ginger (?) stuff. I often make my own vermicelli salad and well . . . it's usually so-so and I've sampled a good amount of other restaurant's versions and it's not really something you can epically screw up but I certainly liked what I ate. Hell I brought it home and it was a great brunchy-type meal, especially for that killer hangover I somehow acquired (haha, it's a mystery! Jk).",
"I found the limited menu a little off putting, as I like VARIETY whilst eating out. The selections in and of themselves were good, and the egg rolls weren't that typical greasy fare one would expect from deep fried foods. \n\n\nThe vegetarian plate was good, but I thought the tofu was a but overcooked and tough....",
"This place does not have a full vietnamese menu. They do serve a little chinese on it too. I am giving them a 3 star because....\n1) Pho is really good here but you are looking to pay double here for a bowl of pho. $10.95\n2)When you do dine in.. The service is horrible and you will wait if u need a refill on your drinks. The server don't speak English to well.\n3) I am a regular here. So I tried everything on the menu. And I can say everything is authentic to the fullest.\n4)Everything is over-priced once again. Only reason why we keep eating here because they deliver.. So we dont mind paying for an over priced meal due to being lazy. .And days of being hungover or the weather and not feel like cooking. We don't mind paying extra just to not leave the house. \nOver all this place is real good and authentic but if you are watching your wallet.. I would not recommend !!!!!",
"Decent Vietnamese. Nothing extraordinary, but you get what you would expect from a vietnamese restaurant, super fast, good viet food. I got the standard beef and noodles dish. Beef was good, not the best I've ever had, but good. \n\nThey seem to have some good daily specials; I was tempted to get the duck when we went. Service isn't the quickest or friendliest but they get it done. \n\nI'll give them one star for good food, one star for decent service, and one star for getting my meal to me five-ten minutes after I ordered; it's the vietnamese way.",
"ugh... what a disappointment... I had been craving good Vietnamese food for a while now and I remembered that New Orleans tends to be good with Vietnamese hidden gems. So I looked around on Yelp to see what I could find in the neighborhood to order some Take Out and after some research and reading I decided to give Doson a try. \n\nI called in to see if they delivered, but they said they only do it after 4, when their PM prices kick in. So I put in my order; some steamed dumpling appetizer and the vegetable vermicelli noodles with the house special sauce. They told me it would be ready in 15 minutes.\n\nSo i headed over there to pick up my order. Mind you, according to their menu, before 4 o'clock the entrees are charged with lunch prices, it was around 1:30pm and they charged me dinner prices. I was excited though, the staff had been prompt and pleasing with the transaction,\n\nApparently that didn't really matter, the food was bland and could have been any weird blend of Asian/Chinese noodles...definitely nothing close to Vietnamese. The dumplings were the same. I was very disappointed, perhaps the food is better when you dine in, but for Take Out, it sucked.",
"I have eaten many times at this noodle house, the pho is average. The only thing that keeps me returning for lunch is the service that I recieve from the waiter that works the lunch shift. He seems to always take the time to greet me by name and he remembers what my standard order is. It is hard to find this type of personalized service now a days",
"I've eaten here several times and I'm finally going to review their Pho Ga \"chicken noodle soup\". I order take out and waited for it. It didn't take long. I also ordered their fired dumplings.\n\nPho Ga to go is nicely separated so that you can go home and assemble it yourself. The broth is in one container, sprouts, basil, lime and sauces in a plastic bag and rice noodles and chicken in a box. \n\nIt was delicious and I ate it for dinner two nights in a row. A little salty though, maybe msg. I acceptingly paid for it the next day.\n\nFried pork dumplings are good too. Six of them come with a beefy soy broth."

"We had read about this bar on http://newjerseycraftbeer.com and decided to hit this place up for some Sunday lunch. The inside of the bar is spacious. They have a huge bar in the center of the restaurant & a lot of big screen TV's. We were immediately seated by the hostess.... Four minutes went by, then six minutes went by and we were still not greeted by a server. Generally, I would of walked up to the hostess & asked what was up but decided to give it another minute........ Finally, a server had come over to our table (it was a miscommunication between the hostess & the server). \n\nWe didn't see a beer menu/list on the table and we were seated too far from the bar to see what they had on tap. Thankfully, our table was close enough to be able to see the beer list on the wall-mounted chalkboard, they have a decent selection of drafts. (their Facebook page boasts 24 beers on tap/ 80+ different bottles of beer). At this point we were thirsty/hungry and decided to take the easy/safe route and go with a Palm beer and a Yuengling.\n\nThe food menu has the usual suspects plus some wild game offerings for the carnivore (Bison burger, Wild Boar burger, Lamb burger, alligator bites, etc.). They have clam steamers in beer, Calamari, nachos, Mussels, etc. They have a few vegetable items such as Portabella Mushroom burger and salads but no vegetarian/vegan items.\n\nI opted for the Bison burger. It was okay, could of used a little more seasoning. (though, it was cooked perfectly the way I ordered it). I think a Bricohe bun would of complimented this burger a lot better! (instead of the dry, snow-flake type of roll). The tomato did not have a bright red/fresh taste to it, it was more of an after thought. I chose the house-made potato chips. Some of the chips were crispy while others were semi-soggy (from soaking up too much oil?). It appears that the chips were not seasoned after they were pulled from the fryer, they were lacking in flavor. (the accompaniment of onion sour cream and house-made ketchup helped it along). \n\nOur server was good. She kept our water glasses refreshed and gave us the right mix of attention & space. The food was brought out quickly. I think the price points are reasonable.\n\nWith a name like 'House of Brews' I had an expectation that this place would be a 'beer bar' similar to the Blue Monkey Tavern (Merchantville, NJ) or the Pour House (Westmont,NJ) but it kind of felt more like a Chickies & Petes or PJ Whelihans sports bar (nothing wrong with that, looks like a great place for a E-A-G-L-E-S, Phillies, Flyers, Uuuuunion fan to watch a game). I am still giving this place a respectable 3 stars and will give this place another shot. I see other items on the menu that I want to try. Will the bartenders offer small samples of beers to try before we buy? Are the bartenders craft-beer knowledgeable? We will sit at the bar next time and find out...... stay tuned.\n\nUntil next time",
"Great burgers and variety of drafts. Also a really good sports bar where there's not very many around. I was also surprised to find magners on draft here. Ask for Jeff and tip him well!",
"Waitress started off by saying \"hi babe\"!! Food was cold and mediocre.\nif you want to sit at the bar and watch the gaame go for it, but dublin square and PJ's have better atmosphere and way better food",
"The waiter didn't know the difference between an ale and a lager. He also brought me the wrong beer and insisted it was the correct one. \n\nIf you care about craft beer, this is not the place for you.",
"Horrible food. Everything was massively over done like it was cooked in a 3000 degree blast furnace. The mozzarella sticks were pitiful. They were little more than a paper thin strip of cheese wrapped in some nasty burnt tortilla. Chicken was over done, wings were over done. Crab cakes were bland and kind of fishy, tasted like they were microwave type from the supermarket. The onion rings, aside of being burnt, were nothing more than an onion the size of an onion straw and mostly batter. Never again.",
"House of Brews is a great local bar with a surprising menu . . . we're talking wild boar, ostrich, succulent bison . . . I recommend the wild boar and that incredible horseradish sauce. The bar service was fine for a week day and the selection of beers wasn't bad. The draw is definitely the specialty burgers though. \n\nIt's definitely somewhere you can hit with groups of people or on a date, or with the kids.",
"A decent selection of beer, though somewhat of a limited offering of craft beers. Food was ok, I got the fish & chips, of which I only really like the fish.\n\nI stumbled upon it by accident while lost in the south jersey, probably won't seek it out again. If you're close by, its probably a good place.",
"1st time to try 2nd time to taste...my first experience was not the greatest but it definitely wasnt the worst. \n\nI didn't like my food, the manager happily took it back and let me try again. That was just ok. \n\nThe endless variety of beers ( i know i know ) was cool my fiance always tries something new I just like to piggy back of that.\n\nso to sum this up, I will go back again, the beer is a major plus, and the food well my experience hasn't been the best yet.",
"Great place for a game. Great selection of draught beers. Bartenders are attentive and the manager Andrew extremely helpful. If good beer and pub food are what you are looking for...try this place",
"Very disappointing food. Tasteless burgers. The desert was actually brought out with plastic wrap on it. Expensive for the level of food."
