[ "I really like the couple that is running this place. They are always there and ask how everything is tasting. There are a couple of items they need to work on, such as the jalapeno poppers, cooked on a flat top so the peppers are crunchy, bacon is undercooked and the cheese in the middle is melted away. Menu is very simple and they plan on updating it a little at a time. I've had the patty melt and it was excellent. Lots of beers on tap and good specials as well.", "This is an awesome place! I've only been there once, but everything from the customer service to the food to the ice cold brews were great! Me, my girlfriend & our kids stopped by for some lunch. The owners greeted us as we walked in and told us about the burger special. We sat in front of a 90\" HDTV to watch the game, while we waited for the burgers we ordered. This place has tons of different beers on tap. I couldn't help myself to a couple cold ones. All of us enjoyed our burgers and the kids loved their ice cream. The owner Clint checks on every table. We actually talked about the up-coming UA football season. We defiantly will come back again. This place rocks! You need to check it out!!!", "Service was Great !!! Food was ok nothing special ! Burger was pretty tasty ; ) limited menu . Bar was nice !", "Sat at the bar and talked with Jimmy. Service was great and the burger was tasty. Will be back next time in town.\n\nBob - Chicago", "Food was yummy, service was friendly. My burger was one if the best I've had in awhile. I could tell it was made by hand, not a machine. It was tender and tasty. Also, properly cooked. We live in this area and are excited to have a new place for casual meals.", "The is a great place but the food tonight was not up to par. My wife had the Sante fe Salad and the chicken was bland with no seasoning. \n\nI ordered the Phillie and the sandwich was good, but it really does need a little more meat. I really like the atmosphere and the owners are super friendly.", "We wanted to try something new and The Station was close to home. We won't be going back! The service was horrible. Our waitress was rude and never smiled once. The ticket says her name as Kazsalea? When she came to ask us if we were ready to order she walked away before I could order our appetizer. When asked questions about menu she answered like we were idiots. Our appetizer was cold and we had to ask another waiter to fix the problem because she would not pay attention to the full plate of food sitting on the edge of the table. And needless to say the nachos need some work. Described in the menu as house made chips but clearly out of a bag, topped with cold cheese and iceberg lettuce. YUMMY. She seemed to be complaining to all the other servers when she was putting in orders. It clearly was not just our opinion because we heard the table behind us say they would never come back. I turned out to agree with them. They had been waiting forever to get their check and had two young children ready to leave. They had the same server and they said she was so rude and felt like she had a chip on her shoulder. When their check was brought to them it was just sat on the table with no thank you or anything. I am really sad that we can't get a good place in this spot. We really need a great place in this area. I'm sure if you are just coming to drink it would be alright but don't waste your time for the dinner experience.", "My good friend and I started coming here a couple of months ago to relax and have a few drinks after work. Wasn't sure what to expect, considering the location has changed ownsership multiple times over the past few years. We have really grown to love and enjoy this place! I am so happy that we FINALLY have a local Bar/Restaurant with GREAT customer service, delicious food, and yummy cocktails. We LOVE Megan! She is super awesome, and always takes such good care of us. This place has so much potential and I look foward to watching it grow, and will continue to spread the word of its awesomeness!!!", "This is a neat little bar and grill. I really enjoyed coming here and would definitely make it my regular bar if I lived in the Continental Ranch Area. I didn't try the food but would have no inhibitions towards it. The bar was fully stocked and had plenty of TV's to enjoy the game. \n\nThe place has plenty of seating but I can see it getting busy on the weekends for parents trying to get out for a night. I'll try the food next time I'm back because the place was so clean i'm sure they have great fare.", "First impressions are important and this place left a good one with me. The place is super clean and looks almost brand new despite it being the 3rd restaurant to take over rent in that space in the last 5 years. \n\nThe beer I ordered was really good and you can choose to have it poured into a pint or a 22 oz glass. Our waiter was nice enough and even though the place was pretty dead when we went (mid-day), he wasn't overly obnoxious. Also, they had a very large selection of drinks made with Hammer and Sickle vodka. It's a really good russian vodka and their mixing options are huge!\n\nI gave 3 stars purely for my lack of knowledge on this place. I didn't order any food but I will be sure to update my review if I am ever back in Tucson and choose to dine here." ]

[ "The doughnuts here are really quite good - you can actually eat a couple and not feel completely disgusting afterward. They taste fresh and delicious, with just the right amount of sugary decadence; the shop is very clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I typically snarf down a double chocolate cake doughnut (tasty!), which is just the perfect amount of chocolate and cakiness - terribly bad for me, I know, but I just can't help it. Unfortunately, they are really close to where I live, so I will probably be 500 pounds in six months. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! Much better than Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts.", "RIP building formerly known as Donut Connection - But I've always been a Fray's gal. \n\nFEAST YOUR EYES\nOne of the entrances is blocked with a \"use other door\" sign--but if that door started working again the first thing you'd see would be dozens of pretty young donuts--each dolled up differently-- crooning from the racks. Do not resist.\n\nTHE CRUST AKA OUTSIDE\nLike its sister stores, don't judge the flavors from the crust... a book by its appearance... eh--a donut shop by its external looks. The building itself looks a bit worn out and its location is not in the posh-posh area of the 'Burg... but definitely take this chance. \n\nI also have mild \"GRRR\"-syndrome in businesses that use photos of their products that look like stock photos. Come on Fray's--you can do better! (Plus when was \"gourmet\" spelled \"gormet?\"--see menu)\n\nAfter a few visits this place has never been as busy as the one on 16th St N (Same owners) but since local donut stores are rare in these parts I'm sure they'll do just fine. I want to review higher but so far this place needs slightly more work to get to the status of other Frays.\n\nINDULGANCE IS YUMMY\nAny donut is fine- I've stuck with a good ol' Apple Fritter or a Maple Donut. The varieties here don't delve into the wild and crazy- just tried-and-true old goodies. Light and fluffy sugar goodness with a not-too-gooey frosting. Even their Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on an Onion Bagel (only a few varieties) had a homemade taste. But the Green Tea Frappe had this slight chemical syrup taste to it. The drinks are just so so.", "What a fun place for breakfast. Fray's is right across from Dunkin Donuts, but given the choice to go with a small, local place I was happy to try out Fray's. They had croissant breakfast sandwiches which were nice. Even more intriguing was the \"baked donut\" breakfast sandwich. It was essentially doughnut dough that was baked and unglazed, like a really tasty English muffin used to make breakfast sandwiches. It was really delicious and had a great texture. The basic glazed doughnuts were light and soft, very nice texture again, not overly heavy or doughy. The coffee was great, the staff was fast to assist, and I loved the atmosphere. The sign out front boasts \"the worlds best coffee\", and it was pretty darn good. There is even a drive thru. If you're in the neighborhood be sure to stop in for breakfast.", "I am so happy Fray's took over the old Doughnut Connection. The place looks so much nicer and safer to eat at. The salted vanilla cream on the headlight doughnut was heavenly. Staff was super friendly. Still had plenty of late morning selections. Best doughnut shop around.", "Perhaps the perfect donut is the simplest. These donuts are light, delicious, and reasonably priced. Their cake donut had a nice vanilla taste. The apple-filled donut had a surprising but not unwelcome maple glaze hidden under the cinnamon sugar.\n\nIn this day of overloaded, cloyingly sweet donuts, it's wonderful to find a place like Fray's that understands that donut is, at its core, a breakfast food to enjoy with a cup of coffee to start your day. \n\nThis is the donut I could stop for every morning.", "Not a bad place! Classic varieties and friendly service. The raspberry filled with vanilla icing was divine:)", "Great old school relic hanging on while surrounded by dunkin donuts. Made fresh daily with great coffee great prices a drive through and the feel that only a privately owned independent business can provide!", "So we have a great local donut shop in our city but we were in St Pete for a couple of nights and drove by this place. Decided to stop by on our way out of town at midday on a Saturday. Tasty! I prefer yeasted donuts while my wife likes cake so we each bought two. The cake ones were better at this place than the raised. I like that it's a local place and it was very clean and the employee was friendly. For a small shop they have a pretty great variety. Come here instead of DD or KK. Your taste buds will thank you.", "--- Short Synopsis ---\n\nGood donuts at a local St Pete donut shop! They have drive through if needed.\n\n--- Detailed Summary ---\n\nI have come here a few times and enjoyed their donuts. \n\nI even came here in the morning when it was raining outside and saw quite a few people come in and out during the short ten minutes I was eating there. This shows how good and popular their products are.\n\nOne of my favorite items is probably their square cronut (croissant donut). It's not too heavy or buttery like other cronuts I have had. It is light and fluffy/flaky with a nice thin coating of glaze. I would try their cronut, especially if you have not had one before! The other goods I have had here were also good to exceptional, so feel free to try other items here.\n\nRecommend coming here (and trying a cronut)!", "Very basic little shop. All of the donuts we tried were very dry as if they were a few days old. Based on the reviews we were expecting some fabulous breakfast treats but we were very disappointed especially after the drive to get there and the high price we paid." ]

[ "This place is great! It has amazing ambiance. Old leather couches created a very relaxed vibe! They had my favorite Irish whiskey and the bartender made some great suggestions for some similar flavored... I liked all of his suggestions. Same went for the humidor. Huge selection and they guided me well. I will be back!", "Nice Chill Lounge! drinks and cigars! Relaxed couches and bar stools! Cigar Room! Nice for meetings!! Very Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff! Will definitely be back very soon!!", "Unique addition to 'Top things to do in Nashville'. A bespoke cigar lounge fragrant with notes of a Prohibition past.\n\nI am a non-smoker who likes a cigar on occasion. Problem is I know nothing about cigars or what to drink with them. \n\n Primings has put education at the forefront with a custom built humidor and a knowledgeable staff who is more than willing to advise whether you are looking at a $10 or $50 cigar. They also carry cigars you won't find anywhere else in the country.\n\nOnce you have your cigar selection you can cozy up on one of the plump sofas or rich leather chairs. Whether you are just one or in a group of 6+ there is a seating spot where you can feel like you're the only ones there. They also have an opulent upstairs area for Members Only with an even more exclusive cigar collection. \n\nThe bar staff is terrific, the first time I came in I was feeling a little under the weather, ordered a cocktail that included Absinthe, and I swear my sore throat was gone the next day.\n\nHighly recommend Primings for something different. I'm a Nashville local who just moved to Miami, and it's an ideal spot for locals and off-the-beaten-path out of towners.", "I've heard nothing but good things about the establishment can't wait to try it out!!!! \n\nBreak\n\nWhat an awesome venue; a great mix of class, ambiance, and sophistication. The cigars and spirits met all of my expectations. This proves that you can enjoy life's pleasures without the feeling of sycophancy. Definitely a repeat establishment, nothing beats a Veteran Based Business (VBB). \n\nMack\nUSSOCOM", "Excellent lounge! Good selection of cigars, beers, and liquor.\nComfortable overstuffed seating such as one would expect from a club.\nAnd the smoke eaters are excellent! Nothing to not like in a cigar lounge.", "Wow! Fantastic atmosphere. The humidor is a work of art. Dozens of comfortable leather chairs, high ceilings, and a loft over looking it all. \n\nJohn at the bar can make anything you want. I had a dirty martini and then an old fashioned...and then another. Light but tasty food options. Although the Cuban sandwich filled me up! \n\nJake, the GM was welcoming and friendly. Ask about the location's interesting history. \n\nBrought a female colleague and she loved the place too. We are considering joining the private club. Very reasonable for access to the gorgeous space and view from upstairs. \n\nA cigar meeting place! What?!", "Excellent new spot with friendly & knowledgeable staff. Made us feel at home our 1st night in Nashville. It's brand new very cozy with great cigar selection. Tasty signature drinks my husband had a bourbon cocktail and I tried the lime and ginger beer one on the drink menu. It's a little off the beaten path a few blocks from Broadway but worth it.", "Picked this place for my husband to enjoy a cigar while in Nashville. Smoke did not bother me at all. Great ventilation. Great chats with our bartender, Jacob. Made a mean old fashion. The place to go for all you cigar smokers.", "I am so happy this place opened up... Great selection of cigars and comfortable seating to enjoy them. Several televisions to watch sports and a nice bar. Had the meat can cheese tray....went good with our cocktails.", "Visiting from Houston,Texas. Couldn't ask for a better cigar bar. The owner id friendly and personable. Large variety of top shelf spirits." ]

[ "Came here for dinner and was not disappointed. Sushi was fresh and the chicken pad Thai was awesome! Definitely will make a habit of coming here since I'm 5 minutes away. I only wish they would deliver but oh well. The atmosphere and decor is beautifully modern but not pretentious. Staff are nice and eager to help which is nice. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good hibachi, sushi or Asian fusion that doesn't want to make the hike to old city...", "Stopped by and picked up sushi, firecracker roll, it was fresh and I really enjoyed it. I. Plan on coming back for dinner another night at the hibachi tables. This is a new business , the staff were friendly and quick. The restaurant was very clean.", "My friend and I decided to stop by for an early dinner. As both sushi lovers, we were both so excited that a place closer to Holy Family has opened. We were warmly welcomed as we came in. From the outside, I didn't expect the restaurant to be so spacious. There was another half of restaurant consisting of hibachi tables. Overall, a very pretty and clean place. While waiting for our sushi, we were even offered complimentary salads. (Obviously, I was psyched cause as a college student free is for me.) Typically, it takes forever for the sushi to come out but I was really surprised that it came out right away after we finished our salads. Our waitress was on top of her game and kept refilling our waters constantly. Sushi was great and reasonably priced. Overall, awesome place! Can't wait to come back and try their lunch bentos! :)", "We went here yesterday and I loved it. I didn't try hibatchi, we ate it the main dining room. We had sushi, hot and sour soup, spring rolls, and Pad Thai. All of it was delicious!! Same owners of Sukura on street road in Bensalem. This shopping center needed a good restaurant like this and I think it will do very well. I'm so excited to have a sushi place close by!!", "So I thought I'd stop in for dinner. It was just me and I ordered soup, two sashimi rolls and a noodle dish.\n\nThe waiter came back 2 times to verify my order and then two more times to ask me in what order I wanted my food. \n\n I waited over a half hour for my soup and I was honestly ready to walk out right as it came . The mushrooms in the soup were still raw. There wasn't much of any flavor to the broth. \n\nThe rolls I ordered came out 25 minutes later. They were mostly avocado and no sashimi to them (paper thin). \n\nFinally my noodle dish came out. Broth was bland and noodles did not taste like buck wheat noodles as I had ordered. \n\nHad they been busier I might have accepted some of the time it took but some warning the soup wasn't ready would have been nice. I would have ordered something else. The guys making the rolls did a poor job as they fell apart easily and quickly. I've been using chopsticks since I was 2 so not and issue on that end. \n\nCompletely unimpressed doubt I'll return.", "Have had takeout from here 2x. They don't scimp on the servings and even takeout is pleasing to the eye. The Seabass appetizer was excellent ! As well as their many assorted sushi rolls. Cannot wait to dine in as this place is perfect for family or date night. Looking forward to trying many other yummies on their menu!!!!", "The best sushi and Japanese food in philly hands down. Great service and great atmosphere and can't beat the price.", "Just opened up and was told by a friend to check it out. The rolls are massive! So filling. Fresh, delicious seafood. The haru maki was also very good for an appetizer. Sushi is mostly all 50% all day. The best part surprisingly was the fried ice cream for dessert. We got vanilla and loved every second of it! BYOB and craft beer store next door. Will be back :)", "The quality, ambience and pricing are worth coming and enjoying. Me and my fiancé were a little bit skeptical about the whole 50% off and what type of rolls we were gonna be limited to but to our surprise is all day and all rolls. We Order the Love boat and the amount and quality were on point. Also it includes Miso soup and salad. usually the miso soup on there type of restaurant are just bland but their Miso soup as very savory and nice and hot. That's without counting their variety of food in the menu is great they even have Pad Thai! Definitely worth trying.", "Excellent! Came here to give it shot, completely satisfied with Nick service. We didn't wait long to be asked for drinks, then for food the fiancée and I already knew what we wanted. We orders Love Boat for Two, came with Miso Soup, salad, 10 sushis, 15 sashimi and California rolls (I think I forgot one more item that came with). The presentation of the plate was phenomenal, good variety of sashimi and really delicious. Our waiting time was on point, mind that we came on a Saturday at 4:30pm, but Nick always kept the customer service ongoing. The place looks nice, the music volume was at a decent volume that you aren't competing when having a conversation. We definitely will come back!" ]

[ "Finally open!\nMy husband and I both got the classic gyro. The pita bread was light and tasty, there was a good serving of gyro meat that had a good crisp to it. The tzatsiki sauce was lovely, the veggies tasted fresh.\n\nI like that there's an option to skip the pita. We're looking forward to trying the chicken as well.", "Had the classic gyro and fry box with gyro meat I loved both but the garlic sauce was unbelievably good", "first time & really good. gyro was large! added a Fitz's Black Cherry. we will return to try more of the menu.", "Went a few days ago. The staff was very nice and super patient! It was good but not my fav. Loved the hummus and pita! The gyro was good. They gave us some falafel to try. It was ok too. I'd go back, but I'm sticking with my other Fenton Greek restaurant for now.", "I have had the classic gyros on several occasions and each time it was great! Love consistency like that. Everything tastes incredibly fresh. We need some new places in Fenton so I was happy to see this going in.", "Recently opened, fast service and REALLY good food! We stopped here\nFor a quick dinner and were impressed! We would definitely come again!", "What a welcome addition to the Fenton area. The portions are huge and the taste is delicious. It's a limited menu but everything we've had has been extremely satisfying. Others must agree because the place is always packed!", "Very friendly service. Gyros were good. Meat was a little on the salty side but other than that super excited to have another Greek restaurant in Fenton.", "Went in for the first time and was greeted by friendly staff and their food was delicious. Even their hummus is good and I will not buy store bought hummus. This is definitely a great place to eat.", "The Classic Gyro was okay. The onions were very sharp (old onions). You do not get as much of a serving as you do in the Fenton branch. They used too much lettuce as a filler and skimped on the meat. They used black olives, not Greek olives. The baklava was soggy and inedible. This was to-go. Maybe they thought they could get away with crappy items." ]

[ "Checked out the self-proclaimed \"Tampa Bay's Finest Mediterranean Restaurant\" with a co-worker for lunch today. I think my subconscious expectations were too high (e.g. Byblos). I imagined a sit down restaurant but found a counter service. IMHO any restaurant that is going to be the \"finest\" would surely be full service. \n\nWe got there a bit early (11:40) and the only other customer in the place was the woman in front of us placing her order. Which took at least 10 minutes. Apparently only one person there knew how to operate the cash register or else the others just weren't interested. The girl running the register didn't seem that interested either. It seemed that she would have been content just listening to this woman blather on and on about her order - which turned out to be a cup of soup and some pita bread. So it was finmally our turn - no smile, no \"welcome to Kurdi's\", just a sort of void, vague look. Nothing you would expect in a brand new restaurant.\n\nThe menu is somewhat limited but boasts fresh ingredients, so we decided to stay and try it. We both went for the chicken shawerma pita sandwich, my friend with tahini sauce and me with the special garlic sauce (I have lots of toothpaste etc. at the office :) We also ordered dolmas to share. They were unable to serve iced tea, which we both wanted, because they were out of filters. At 11:30 AM on a Wednesday? Couldn't someone have picked some up on the way in? They had Turkish coffee, which I decided to wait to try another time.\n\nThe sandwiches were not bad, although they really were not so much pita sandwiches but quasi pita wraps, meaning the \"bread\" sort of tasted like pita but it was much thinner like a wrap. That didn't bother me except it seriously upped the mess factor. I went through three napkins just on the sandwich. But it definitely had the Mediterranean flavors I like, although somewhat milder than I prefer. It's served with a small side salad of fresh mixed greens, tomatos and red onions (probably something else most people on a lunch break will not want). We both agreed that the dressing was pretty good. The strangest thing to me was that there did not seem to be a single dish on the menu that included Feta cheese - one of my favorite Mediterranean ingredients!\n\nMy friend though the dolmades were just OK but I could not eat them as the rice was just soggy and mushy. Yuk! I'm not a big fan of rice to begin with but the texture was horrible. The grape leaves seemed fine with a drizzle of olive oil and a couple of those little pickle slices and some other mystery pickled things. They were bright pink/magenta but not beets. But they tasted OK. The dolmades were cold so they'd likely been pre-made and refrigerated. I think they're supposed to be at room temp.\n\nOverall, they have small healthy portions (we weren't stuffed), most but not all of the prices were not bad, the ingredients did seem fresh and it didn't take a really long time for the food to arrive. But the place really wasn't busy and I could imagine long delays if it got busy - which will not be acceptable for the downtown lunch crowd. Hopefully they will get some of the bugs worked out but I probably wouldn't bother to walk up to the Skypoint building again to eat there unless they show improvement. I'd rather drive to Byblos. It was sort of like Byblos on valium.", "So after walking by this nice clean modern looking new place in Skypoint quite a few times I finally decided to have dinner there. The first thing I said to the owner, who care over to talk to me, was \"I can't believe I took a month to eat here!\" Now onto my review, this place is definitely something way different then what you can expect to find in most fast casual dinning options. This food if I were to close my eyes was right along with some of the best kabob places I used to eat when I lived in New York. I started with the yogurt and cucumber, it was well seasoned and a very nice sized portion, definitely enough to share. Then I had the Kufta kabob entree, it was amazing. It had perfectly seasoned meat on top of a piece of pita with these very well cooked onions on the side. There was a healthy portion of roasted red pepper rice on the side, one of three rice options. Btw the only complaint I had was that they used to wrong rice and the owner agreed and said the only reason the rice was wrong was because of the chef that they already had to let go. And if that wasn't enough food for under $10, it even came with a skewer of perfectly roasted veggies. This all paired nicely with a glass of Mediterranean red wine. So to sum it all up, if you want a delicious freshly prepared meal that won't put a hole in your wallet and doesnt taste the same as every other downtown option then this is worth a try. And as a rebuttal to the other review on yelp, there's is nothing wrong with using napkins when a pita is stuffed with goodness, lol. Ps. If you want some heat there's a homemade hot sauce you can ask for... Highly Recommend!", "Delicious, authentic, healthy. I walked into this new restaurant wondering what I would find. Polite and quick services. AND THEN THE FOOD!!! Everything I ordered was wonderful, and I will go back to try more. Try the cucumber-yogurt salad and you'll think you are in Dubai. Try the baba ghanoush and you'll swear you are on a luxery cruise on the Red Sea. What a wonderful respite from the usual. I'll be back and soon!", "This is a good three star rating, I need to venture to more flavorful territories on my next visit. I tried Kurdis because I had a 20% coupon bringing my entire meal to a whopping $6. Even if I'd paid the extra dollar it would still have been a great deal, granted, vegetarian food is generally inexpensive so make of that what you will.\n\nThe falafel platter I ordered included 5 falafel balls, any kind of rice you want (I picked pesto), a pita/gyro hybrid, a kabob full of grilled squashes, tomato, onion, a side salad, and two sauces, a veggie filled yogurt which I didn't try but looked pretty good and a garlicky vinaigrette presumably for the salad. While the falafel lacked flavor and proper texture (it was quite dense) the star of this show was the veggie kabob. I think there is a dinner that includes three of these which I will be ordering next time. They were perfectly charred to the point where there didn't need to really be any extra seasoning, the flavor of the veggies was spot on and they tasted really fresh. These are the reason I don't miss meat/dairy.", "Unfortunately I have nothing good to say about this place. I could say the staff is friendly and the place looks clean and bright, and - they have yummy garlic sauce.\nFor the rest, I am not impressed. Creamy lentil soup was too thick and too sour (too much lemon, no other spices used, I guess) and chicken pieces were very small and oily. They have pretty good rice choices but again, they are too oily.\nI ended up paying lots of money but ending up with empty stomack as I could not eat the soup and the other dish was too oily.\nHowever, for anyone else, who likes fats, this place is a great choice.", "I had been dying to try this place and am glad I finally did. What a nice addition to downtown Tampa. I am sad that is it probably overlooked due to its location. Cheap healthy delicious and clean. Definitely worth a try. Plus amazing gelato. What a plus!", "Love the new chef's work at Kurdi's. Lentil soup much improved, and chicken schwarma is excellent. Had the falafel with tsaziki sauce and applaud them for that improvement too. My husband let me try his maqanek (mild) sandwich with lebanese beef and lamb sausages, hummus, pickles, tomatoes, parmesan cheese and garlic sauce layered on ciabatta bread, then pressed until crispy. If I were not dieting, I would have ordered one - a reward to look forward to at my next splurge! Very affordable; good service, and this restaurant has really grown up - much improved on many levels. Love the new sofa seating outside!", "Well, I'm 50/50 on this place. The first visit was stellar. It quickly became the \"best\" Mediterranean meal I'd had in Tampa, beating out my Byblos go-to and Ginghis Khan backup by a mile. The falafel was warm with a fantastic crunch. The tabbouleh was fresh with wonderful texture. The babaganoush was simply the best I'd tasted -- ever. And the hummus was also very delicious. I was happy to be offered white or wheat pita, and the prices were competitive. \n\nThe second visit several weeks later was disappointing. I'd ordered all the veggie items above, plus added in a few skewers of chicken and beef to share. The falafel and tabbouleh didn't taste fresh and lacked the crunch/texture they'd had before. The chicken was inexcusably overcooked, and the beef was chewy and slightly foul-tasting. I finally abandoned the meat -- wasn't worth the risk.\n\nSo now I'm at a cross-road. I doubt I can convince my friends from the second experience to try it again, and I'm not sure I want to risk another meal.", "I was underwhelmed by the food and overwhelmed by the prices. This is expensive, people. I had a falafel wrap and hubby had the shawarma wrap. These did not include any sides or drinks and our bills was twenty dollars before tip. The shawarma wrap is NOT shawarma meat. Shawarma meat is supposed to be thinly shaved/sliced meat. At this place, they give you chopped CUBES of grilled meat. WTF. Similar to the meat inside Taco Bell Steak soft tacos but you get less meat here. WTF. The wraps are tiny. I weigh 100lbs and I could probably eat 3 wraps to be full. My falafel wrap was decent tasting but it's hard to mess something deep fried up. It definitely needed more sauce though because it was so dry. I don't recommend this place at all!!!", "Upon my first few times trying Kurdi's, I would have absolutely rated it at least 4 stars. The food was good, the service was quick and friendly, the facility is nice and clean, and it was overall a great experience.\n\nThis last visit made them drop 2 to 3 starts... The front of house was completely disorganized. I waited with my party at the counter for almost 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged, and then waited another few for or our order to be taken, all while the staff fiddled around behind the counter and attended to seated parties before those who were standing in line to order and/or waiting to be seated.\n\nI'm glad you guys are still downtown, but let's try and either step up the customer service, or make it clear where and who to order from..." ]

There are so many varieties that it's hard to just choose one (but the sourdough, French Boule and Hearty Whole Wheat are my favorites). \n\nThey also make an amazing challah that always gets rave reviews when I serve it at big dinners. Make sure to save room for the big chocolate chip cookies, too. They rock.", "As Carrie E. describes, the delicious baking bread smell wafts from their open door and will draw you in if you are anywhere near. We just got a sourdough, but it was wonderful (and made excellent french toast after left out overnight too :) ). There are a wide range of loaves, and the sourdough was huge and only $4.50. A sample bite of one of their muffins made me drool for more... A carbophiles fantasy!", "On a nice day, if you're driving by, you can smell the fresh bread emanating from the Baker Street Bread Co. And once you smell it, you're under their spell where they lure you in, and before you know it, you've left with a few loaves of bread and you're missing a little cash. If this was Harry Potter, the spell would be something called Breado Confundo. But its ok because its so worth it.", "Baker Street's apricot pistachio bread is on my personal shortlist of the greatest breads in the world. Everything they make is good, but this particular variety is just extraordinary. Good bread is way under-rated, imho.", "Chestnut Hill is loaded with bakeries. This one has the best breads, hands down. My family gets our regular whole wheat sandwich bread there (I know, boring) and we try a variety of their more unique specialty breads when we have guests or special occasions. A+++", "Good? Yes. Excellent? Yes. Obscenely overpriced? Alas, yes. It is the pricing, and not anything else that knocks this place down to 3 stars from 5.\n\nAs wonderful as the bread here is, I still think it is priced too high, to the point where it does not offer good value for your money. I recently got a large loaf of bread and it was about $5.50. For the amount of bread I bought, it should not cost that much. The prices are not posted/advertised, which would not bother me if they were reasonable, but it makes me suspect that they know their high prices would turn people away, and are making a conscious effort to hide them.\n\nI used to work at a bakery in Lancaster, PA, and the owner would get bread from various Philadelphia bakeries to try it out, and both of us were a fan of this one. If this bakery has a niche, it would be sourdoughs. This place really knows how to make a sourdough. I was pleased to return years later to find the bakery still here and still making good bread. I didn't ask how much things were and was a bit shocked when I got rung up at the register.\n\nBottom line? I wouldn't buy bread here more than sporadically. I don't see why it needs to cost so much. If the rents in this neighborhood are too high, if the cost of employing people in this area too high, then maybe land values and rents need to fall a bit. There are vacant storefronts up and down the block and plenty of unemployed people about.\n\nHigh prices are bad for our communities and bad for America. When I pay $5.50 for a loaf of bread, someone is siphoning off money--I don't care if it's the owner, the landlord, or who it is. I just want to pay a fair price for what I get and no more. This place needs to find a way to knock $1 off the cost of all its loaves, and if it can't do that, I'm not coming back.", "Baker Street is where I usually go when I need nice bread for dinner, or because I can't find challah at the grocery store. I'm no bread connoisseur but I've never been disappointed.\n\nHowever, I do have to agree that this place really stings the wallet. I understand the prices of basic things like flour have been on the rise but $4.25 for a baguette seems excessive even if it does have Parmesan cheese on it. What Would The French Do? Well, first they'd probably be disgusted at the thought of a cheese adulterated baguette... but past that.. what?\n\nGood bread, just not suited to the thrifty twenty-something's wallet. Something to look forward to.\n\n(And as always, remember, three stars isn't a bad review.. it's A-OK!)", "I'm probably the only person here who wasn't satisfied when I purchased a loaf of bread here.\n\nI remember coming here in a rush to pick up a loaf of bread for a little gathering I was supposed to attend. It's a good thing I ended up bailing on this open event. When I got home, and tried the multigrain loaf I had purchased, it was a disaster. I found the texture too dry, and almost impossible to break. Not to mention how difficult it was to chew it comfortably. My teeth were sore after a few pieces! I also found the bread lacked in flavor. \n\nMy mom makes bread from scratch often, and I've been to quite a number of bakeries in my lifetime. Sorry, this place just doesn't do it for me. I kind of want to say it's pricey, but since it's an independent bakery, and they make everything themselves, I don't totally object. $4.25 for a baguette is a lot though...Even in France they don't charge so much.\n\nIn summary, I wouldn't run to purchase here again.", "One of my absolute favorite parts of living in Chestnut Hill is when I'm walking home from a night out on the Avenue and I start to smell a scent that is second only to Chocolate Ave in Hersey, PA. That scent is The Baker Street Bread Company going late into the night, baking up so many different treats for their costumers the following morning.\n\nWhen you go to Baker Street Bread you may find it a little stuffy inside the little shop, but that's just from all the ovens going. The things they're baking up in their will keep you coming back for more. Now I haven't tried a ton of different things here, but what I have had was really good. You can can use your eyes and nose to guess how good the breads are going to be, but I want to focus on something else. \n\nIf you don't come in too late in the afternoon, you will probably notice something you may not have expected sitting there on the counter. Baker Street Bread makes some of the best pizza, yes I said pizza, that you may have ever had. Now its not your typical pizza, but I think that may be what makes it so amazing. I've seen this pizza in two different varieties: pepperoni and spinach ricotta. Although the pepperoni is very good, the spinach and ricotta is like nothing you've ever had. Sicilian style pizza with extremely soft crust, a light layer of sauce, and perfect combination of cheeses and spinach. All these things blend perfectly together in each bite. I ordered a whole pie (12 very large slices) a day in advance for the Super Bowl and let's just say our guests were quite pleased. I posted a picture to give you a visual, but really you just need to try it.\n\nMaybe when I start to some of there other baked goods I'll do an updated review, but this place is worth a stop just for this pizza. Trust me.", "So much love. I just moved into the area and am there 3+ days a week - getting a great cup of coffee, grabbing a delicious muffin, or ordering a bunch of loaves of their weekend speciality bread (February - Cherry & Chocolate). My office workers love their bread too, so now I'm taking orders from the office! A coworker of mine used to be a manager there, and she has nothing but wonderful things to say about their bread making process, their staff, and their management. Their service staff is wonderfully friendly, and even their delivery van guy, who is there in the middle of the night, waves and calls you \"friend\" once he recognizes you as a neighbor.

[ "This is a restaurant with a severe identity crisis. It aspires to be an upscale steak house among the dozens of seafood joints that dot the landscape of this resort community, but it's tucked away in a Marriott and, aside from a wall of windows affording a spectacular view, is cursed with a decor that betrays its mid-priced hotel dining room roots. It's slightly better than the faux-Western atmosphere most venues of this type embrace, but it's a long way from being elegant enough to justify pricing steaks - which are served with a simple salad but no sides - at $26 to $38. Besides, this isn't South Beach - neither the tot-toting tourists who flock here nor the seniors who comprise a large percentage of the local population are likely to part with bucks this big for a single meal. Although we had come for beef, we opted for more reasonably priced crab cakes - moist and mercifully light on the breading - with snow peas, and lobster with pasta in a saffron-infused lemon-cream sauce, and both were delectable. Still, while there's nothing offensive about the ambiance, it's not enough to lure us back . . . and certainly not for a $31 ribeye. If I'm going to pay that kind of money, I expect - at the very least - a server who's more of a cultured Jeeves than a kiss-my-grits Flo.", "Gorgeous view of intercoastal waterway, but looking east, so no sunset. Nice decor. Too expensive for a casual evening out, more for a special occasion. We had two very attentive and efficient servers for a table of four. Lobster Bisque was watery with no lobster meat, just the flavor.....more like Lobster Broth. Crab Cake and Barbequed Shrimp were excellent. House Salad was very good, Caesar Salad was average, but crisp and fresh. Filet Mignon was cooked as ordered and very tender. Lobster Tail was good, but shell was charred. Drawn butter was served warm in a carafe over a candle. Sides were ala carte, but large enough to share. Chocolate Mousse Skyscraper Cake was large enough for 4, very rich, smooth and luscious! Served with a chocolate sauce. We were not rushed and enjoyed a nice evening. Would definitely dine here again.", "We had a roller coaster evening at Watercolour Steak House the other night. We chose to go there because it was ranked as the Tampa area's best steak house for 2010 in Tampa Bay Magazine. It is located in the Marriott Hotel on Sand Key.\n\nThe setting is beautiful with a wall of windows looking out onto the bay. It is nicely appointed. Not particularly luxurious, but comfortable and suitable as the view dominates and establishes the ambiance. \n\nWe were promptly greeted and served well constructed cocktails. The fact that our server was not a moonlighting Ivy league professor or retired super-model was of no consequence to us,\n\nAppetizers were superb. My wife had the escargot which were delicious and perfectly prepared. I had the crab cake which was among the best I've ever had. A huge ball of crab held delicately together by a spare application of bread crumbs. Delectable.\n\nThen came salads which were included with the entrees. I can't effuse over salads but both my wife's caesar and my chopped salad were delicious. \n\nThen what was an impressive dinner to date took a turn for the worse.\n\nAt about the time that our entrees should have been served, our server came to the table to tell us that the crab legs my wife had ordered were no longer available. Why didn't she know this at the time we placed our orders? The place was far from busy. My wife chose to have a lobster tail instead. Then we embarked on what seemed to be an interminable additional 15-20 minute wait for our entrees during which the unengaged wait staff congregated at the bar to watch the hockey game. \n\nOur entrees came and quite frankly I was unimpressed with my rib eye steak. They promote their Angus aged beef but this wasn't a first class piece of meat. It was full of sinew and a battle to slice. I was happy I asked for the special olive oil steak sauce on the side as it wasn't to my taste. They also serve the steak on a plate heated to 350 degrees to \"keep it hot\". The plate was hot and sizzled the steak after I cut it. This was a bit scary to be honest.\n\nThe final indignity came when a server who delivered the dessert menus refused to clear our dinner dishes telling us \"someone else\" would do so and we waited another 10 minutes. During this time we decided to cut our losses and asked for our check.\n\nSo I end up confused here. The first half of the dinner was very very good and we were extremely pleased - but then they lost it and crashed and burned. I might be inclined to give the place another chance (and have another crab cake) but it won't come around again as there are many places we routinely enjoy,", "Excellent Romantic Ambiance! Just be sure to ask for one of the three dining tables found directly facing the bay towards the back of the restaurant. You will need a light sweater-ladies or sports coat/light jacket-men,... since the dining tables in the rear facing the bay have the air conditioning a bit cooler than the rest of the restaurant. On weekends they have a one-man band playing your \"classic\" top hits! He really added to the romantic ambiance/dining experience. Drinks: Try the rasberry lemonade martini - def winner! The calamari appetizer is unbelievably fresh and comes with two wonderfully mixed sauces. The barbecue jumbo shrimp appetizer is a \"must try\" if you like a zesty smoked flavor-Note: Shrimp is wraped in a very thin slice of bacon that gives the shrimp a nice punch-of-a-taste-great presentation as well! The house salads were very good but take a rain check on the salad dressing and just ask for balsamic vin. or olive oil. Oh my goodness, if you like scallops then you don't want to forego ordering from the \"light entree\" section of the menu the scallop meal - trust me - you will not be disappointed - the sauce is very light and buttery. Under the same \"light entree\" section of the menu you will also want to order the jumbo shrimp dinner meal. This dish has an amazing taste - with the red roasted peppers, asparagus and light cream sauce as the bed of the shrimp,... the dish is divine! If your palate is savoring for sweets, then you don't want to pass on the Key Lime Pie! I've tasted many a Key Lime and theirs is by far the best - extremely light airy texture with a perfect balance of \"tart and sweetness\" to it! Very nice selection of wines and mixed drinks....I would highly recommend this place! Our server, Jason, was excellent as well! I will def be back to this hidden gem located inside of the Marriott Suites in Clearwater/Sand Key in the near future!", "Although this place is tucked away inside of a hotel, I am surprised I haven't heard more about it.\n\nThe food was very good, although they brought my steak out on this sizzling plate, which is fine, except, it was REALLY sizzling. So much that grease spattered up on my white shirt. Other than that, we thought it was a great place to dine with a good view.\n\nIt is \"on the water\" but not on the Gulf Side, though I think the view they have a little nicer. I like to watch the boats and what not on the water.", "Average at best. Good wine. Don't have them season the steak it ruins the meat. Good service.", "This place is terrible. Anyone who thinks this steak is good has obviously never had a quality steak, and I feel sorry for them. I could get a better steak at Outback Steakhouse and save some money. We're from the area so we're not tourists. Any other place in the area is better. Trust me. For Clearwater Beach Legends and Beachcomber come to mind. We ordered for carryout because we have a baby at home. We got the 24 oz porterhouse. First of all it obviously wasn't porterhouse. It looked like a dry t-bone. We ordered it medium rare and got rare. It was full of gristle and fat. We could barely saw through it with a steak knife. And they say their steaks are aged! Are you kidding me????? We eat aged steaks regularly and they're never this poor quality. You don't even need a steak knife for a good aged steak. It's like butter. I think they paid off the reviewers who said they're the best steakhouse in Tampa Bay. There is NO WAY. We've been there before for a few drinks and the ambience is very cool. Overlooking the water. Just get a few drinks there. It's not worth the price of the steak because the quality is horrendous. We are beyond disappointed in them.", "My wife and I first visited Watercolour two years ago after seeing it top rated and we had a distinctly mediocre experience. In the interim the place continue to receive top rankings and good reviews so we decided to check it out again to see if we just caught it on an off night.\n\nTo sum it up, this was out last visit to Watercolour. If you're stuck in Sand Key, try Colombia down the block, it's fabulous.\n\nUpon arrival we were encouraged as the place was packed. We decided to share a bar-b-cue shrimp appetizer. The sauce tasted like it came right out of a bottle from the supermarket. Disappointing. \n\nOn the menu was a kobe steak / lobster tail surf and turf for $85 and King Crab legs for $65. Pretty presumptuous and outrageous prices for a mediocre steakhouse if you ask me.\n\nI tried the rib eye again and I'm shocked that this place can stay in business with the poor quality of meat they serve. I could have used a set of surgical tools to dissect my way though the sinew and blood vessels that ran rampant though this piece of meat. true, it wasn't a $45 NYC rib eye, it was a $37 Sand Key rib eye, but you should get a serviceable steak at that price. My wife ordered the salmon which she aptly described as a \"sliver\". It was the smallest piece of fish I've ever seen served.\n\nOh well, they can't all be winners. What can you do?", "This was a total disappointment. We sat at our table for over 30 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink. The first wine we chose they didn't have. The second one was the wrong vintage. 45 minutes in, we had some wine. The food was mediocre at best. Both my wife's steak and my steak (filet) were tough and under cooked. They bragged about hot plates to finish cooking your steak on, ours were barely warm. Not worth the $$. Don't waste your time.", "Stayed at the Marriott for a conference, so encountered Watercolour as 3 separate entities: Catered lunch, the bar, and the restaurant. \n\nCatered lunch: Grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Delicious! Usually catered food has no flavor and does nothing for me, but that was not the case here. The chicken tasted liek it had been made on a charcoal grill (yummm), the potatoes were the perfect consistency, and the veggies were steamed to perfection. The best catered food I've had in a while. \n\nBar: RICK was amazing! He learned our names the first night and rememebred them for the duration of our stay. When I couldn't find a cocktail on teh menu that tickled my fancy he made me a Pineapple Upside Down Cake cocktail that knocked my socks off-sweet but packed a punch, just how I like it! He was funny, witty, and even served us drinks and bar food to our table. Rick definitely made our Watercolour experience unique and awesome! \n\nRestaurant: Voted one of the top steakhouses in the area. We tried to go down for dinner without a reservation and the wait was 1.5 hrs, so we made a reservationf or the next night. Boy am I glad we went back! A couple of us ordered the Surf andTurf. It started with a Caesar salad that was one of the best I've ever had. There was even an option of with our without anchovies! The authentic way of having a Caesar salad! \nI can go on and on about how delicious and cooked to perfection my Steak and Lobster was, but words won't do it justice. One by one we were saddened as we got down to our last bites. I am usually a fast eater, but my dinner was so DELICIOUS that I savored it and finished last. Absolute perfection. \n\nAll in all a great expereince at Watercolur. I would give it 5 stars, but the service was a bit slow. Great, but a bit slow." ]

That's all well and good as long as you nail the food...TengDa doesn't\n\nEel roll - not sure where the eel was. Pretty much got a roll of rice, carrots and cucumber.\nBroccoli with Garlic Sauce - not sure what the spicy symbol was for, it was bland as can be.

While it looks like a dive, the inside has nice, clean decor with real tile floors and new, stylish tables and chairs. Make sure to look up to see the beautiful chandelier. \n\nI usually get food for take-out here, and it's always good. Doesn't taste cheap or greasy like you might find at a lot of take-out, just good Asian food. The mix of vegetables and meat is also good - they don't stuff it with \"cheap\" vegetables like celery. \n\nToday I ate in, and had the Tom Yam Goong soup, which tasted like a soup version of Panang curry. The vegetables were fresh and the broth spicy. I also had the Bomba for dessert, which was good but maybe a little overpriced for what it was. \n\nThe service was prompt and friendly.\n\nHighly recommend this place for a casual dining experience with good food which won't break the bank." ]

The menu said it was available with goat or lamb when available. I wanted goat, but it was lamb that day, so the owner/cook/waiter/cashier suggested I try the goat soup.\n\nMost of the food comes with either rice or fufu. What's fufu, I asked. Fufu, I learned, is pounded yam. (Cassava, I think?)\n\nHe asked me if I wanted it African style, with the fufu in the bowl. Mais, oui! (Everyone else who came through seemed to be speaking French with the owner. I asked what country he was from and he said Benin.)\n\nThis soup was a delicious, filling red soup with a perfect degree of heat (although I was offered more hot sauce if I wanted it) topped with tender chunks of delectable goat, poured over a mound of creamy white fufu. The fufu is extremely filling, like a very thick porridge, and made me wonder if people rolled into balls and fried it. Because that would be amazing. I was not able to finish the fufu, but I ate up all the soup and meat. There were only a couple bones in it. There was also something rubbery and white, about the size of a little finger, that I could not chew. I didn't eat that part. But everything else was delicious.\n\nThe owner asked me why I didn't like lamb. When I said I didn't dislike lamb, it just wasn't my favorite and I really liked goat, he brought a big chunk of grilled lamb out for me to taste, and it was also incredible. I could have easily enjoyed a plate of lamb. Then he gave me some fried plantains in a bowl. They were crispy and sweet (I saved them for dessert). \n\nI should have brought the fufu home and fried it.", "A little skepticle at first never trying african cuisine but was pleasantly suprised. The chicken with red sauce my wife had the grilled tilapia with the habeñero sauce", "We had a delicious birthday celebration at the new Alafia West African Cuisine. The chef showed us the menu and the choices were new and interesting. We ended up ordering some of each. We had Ox tail, goat, lamb and chicken, each served in a unique and flavorful sauce that we then dished out over rice or fufu. My favorites were the lamb in a peanut sauce and the vegetarian spinach with yams. The birthday boy had a ginger juice and we finished off the meal with fried plantains. Yummy, we'll definitely be back!", "Absolutely delicious and unique. Very palatable to American taste, but still authentic West African. Run by people who are happy to tell you about the food with a smile on their face. No, I don't work here, just highly recommended", "Amazing friendly staff and very delicious food. Very good lamb cooked in peanut butter and hot sauce", "Oh Em Gee people. I just don't get why West African food isn't the next big thing in food. The peanut sauce is so exotic and yet so familiar. I love all the dough-like things as an alternative to rice and pasta and what have you. not to mention that you will totally impress a date by taking them to a place where neither of you are familiar with the food but the people there are really sweet and can guide you through what to get.", "I'll start talking about the location. It's not great. There is an apartment complex (I think?) right behind them that did not look very... \"family-friendly.\" You can't see what the place looks like from the outside, so I was a little scared to open the door at first. Once you enter, you'll see a row of tables (the place is long, not wide at all). On the right is the kitchen, very visible to people sitting in the restaurant. There's a counter at the end where you place your to-go order. The place was full of people, who all seemed to be family friends, not customers. Felt like an outsider, but I guess that's just me. The owner was very nice though.\nTheir menu isn't pretty but does the job. They're a new place (opened 5 weeks ago I believe) so that's fine. I'm pretty good with Arabic food but not African. I didn't know 90% of the things on the menu. They had whole chicken and tilapia fish, yay!\n\nTilapia took 20-25 minutes to make, which isn't bad at all. There's a Circle K next door so go for a walk. I got home, opened the box, and there was the fish, and a side (banana something?). I'll try to add a picture here. The fish tasted \"good,\" maybe needed a bit more flavor. The banana side was different-tasting but I ordered it so can't complain. I really wish they would work on their plate-organization or food decoration a bit more, everything was just thrown in there. I might be a little too picky here, other people will probably think it's perfectly fine. \n\nIn conclusion, try this place if you want a different type of food, but I suggest you order takeaway. I gave them 4 stars because it's still new.", "This place is incredible. From the moment you walk in, you are put at ease by the wonderful host and his delicious food. This is the only West African cuisine in Tucson, and what a treasure that we get to enjoy it. \n\nI highly recommend swinging by for the great lunch specials.", "Alafia is great! The host is fantastic, the food is great. \n\nI took a friend there for lunch. We had the lunch special (goat soup) and it was the real deal, and the price was very reasonable. I ordered the ginger drink and my friend had the hibiscus drink. Both drinks were excellent. \n\nWe were talking about coming back before we even left. Bravo!", "This place should be packed - all the time! The crew working is incredibly nice and create a laid back atmosphere. When my friend and I got there we were the only ones in the place so we got to know a few of the workers, all of which were fun and happy to have us there. \n\nWe started off with some hibiscus juice and plantains. The hibiscus was awesome, but really those plantains stole the show. They cooked these perfectly. Some crispy nibbles on certain portions with the actual plantain soft and smooth. So good, you must have it!\n\nThey were out of a few dishes (tchop djen and ocra soup) that I was looking forward to, but the goat soup and \"red sauce with chicken\" was still really good. Of course, both the goat and the chicken still had the bones all over the place when it was served - I wouldn't expect anything less. Out of the two dishes, I preferred the red sauce with chicken. The flavors were powerful, unique, and so tasty. Dishes naturally come with a large portion of rice, but you can sub in some fufu for $2 extra. I'm a huge fan of fufu, and they cooked it really well. Fufu would normally go better with a sauce dish rather than a soup, but either way fufu is a win.\n\nWhat I really like about the food is how unique it is from the normal food options and the solid fact that I can't go home and try to recreate their main dishes. If you're looking for something different and perhaps might feeling a little adventurous, look no further.\n\nOne additional note. If you're planning on paying with credit, they charge a dollar or two fee for that." ]

[ "I WOULD be the first one to review this HAHA *cue all of my friends giving me crap*\n\nSo I downloaded the Shake Shack app because it was opening day today. I was able to select the pick up time and placed my order with my phone hours in advanced. As expected, the line was out the door onto the sidewalk when I got there, but my food was ready before I even arrived. When you order on the app, they text you when it's ready. So, head there a little ahead of the time you select. For the next couple months, I would suggest ordering through the app to avoid the mass amount of people in line because SHAKE SHACK IS LIFE. \n\nFor those who have never had Shake Shack: forget In N Out. Forget McDonald's. Forget Whataburger. Forget Steak N Shake. Forget it all because Shake Shack wins forever and ever. I cannot express my love for Shake Shack enough. As a matter of fact, I nearly cried when I found out Nashville was getting one. \n\nAnd, since this is Yelp... The staff was super friendly upon arrival, and the pick up counter was very easy to get to. I think this goes without saying but I will be returning. Probably way more than I should. \n\nAlso. Sorry for no pics. I scarfed down my food before I took a picture. Better luck next time.", "Good as hell! Let me repeat myself... good as hell! \nOther than being packed by middle age moms in yoga pants , the wait wasn't so bad.", "Very trendy, it's fast food with love. I'm not really into milk shakes but the burgers is on point and the chicken sandwich was great also reminds you of a chick fl la sandwich. I definitely will be going back", "Good burger but for the price it should be dynamite In-N-Out or 5 Guys level. All of their ingredients are all-natural and that comes with a $14.83 price tag for a double burger, regular fries, and a large soft drink. Thank you to the staff for your great hospitality on your opening day and thank you for the t-shirt.", "While ordering through an app is a nice perk, it doesn't makeup for the average burger and fries that result from the high price purchase.\n\nFor the faithful, remove your blinders and realize these burgers are just a good as an In/Out or Five Guys. But considering the price, I'll be going elsewhere for my cravings. \n\nIf you're less interested in the flavor of the month, go check out Gabby's in Nashville or even Pharmacy Burger in East Nashville. \n\nDon't get me wrong, I loved the crinkle fries and the good times, but it's not any better than average. Keep looking", "We have been to the Shake Shack in New York and Atlanta so we were so happy when Nashville got one. We ordered on the app for a 4:15pm pick up on a Saturday. The food was ready and waiting for us when we got there. Luckily we ordered on the app because the line was out the door. There seemed to be enough seating for everyone. I love the shack burger and fries. Next time I'm going to try the shake.", "Had a double cheeseburger, fries, and a vanilla cookies and cream milkshake - everything was incredible!! 10/10 would recommend", "I ordered through the app with a specified time so i can skip the ridiculously long line for fast food but then again, people wrap their cars around Chik Fil A daily. I'm also going to give them the benefit of the doubt with this review and come back another time later in the year when it isn't so busy. \n\nI arrived at my pick up time and received my food within a 5 minute window. I ordered the Shack cheese burger, cheese fries and a drink for a total of $14 and some change. \n\nThinking bc I just got my food it would be fresh but I was severely let down. Soggy burger and stale fries. Really lacked seasoning. The cheese has an odd after taste to it. \n\nI was really hoping that it would blow me away but there are far better restaurants that are worth your time and money. \n\nI give it 1 star for getting my food in a timely manner, but no stars for quality or taste. \n\nNext time I'll try their Chicken Sandwich hopefully for a better experience.", "Nashville finally gets a Shake Shack! What! One of my fave burger chains hands down. Rivaling up against In-n-Out. I've been to other Shake Shack locations, and I must say the Nashville location is one of the best. I enjoyed the Nashville exclusive burger. Makes me sad that Nash gets all the cool stuff AFTER I move. But hey..when visiting home I have many options! Shake Shack I'll be back....to play foosball.", "My son had been keeping me up-to-date on the arrival of Shake Shack to Nashville so I promised him when it opened, we'd go give it a try. We couldn't make it on their Thursday opening night, but we did get over there late on Friday evening. We were supposed to meet my cousin there, but when he arrived he saw the line wrapped around the building and decided he wouldn't be able to stand for that long due to recovering from getting shot a few months back. (See my review on Hopdoddy's after meeting my cousin there for lunch the following day)\n\nMy son and I got in line and one of their staff members showed up shortly after with a menu we could start looking over to decide what we wanted. We probably waited in line about 15-20 minutes before we made it up to the registers and placed our order.\n\nI decided to try the Nashville location specific burger, \"The Crackle Shack\", a cheeseburger that comes topped with pork cracklins (pork rinds) from local establishment, The Peg Leg Porker. This burger also has their shack sauce on it as well. I added a Shack-Cago Dog for good measure (Rick's Picks Relish, onion, cucumber, pickle, tomato, sport pepper, celery salt, mustard). To wash it down, I got their lemonade, which was very good and tart!\n\nMy son was a little upset in that they weren't prepared to fulfill his wish for a hidden menu item that apparently other locations have, the Peanut Butter-and-Bacon Shackburger. So, he ended up just getting a regular double cheeseburger. We also split an order of bacon cheese fries.\n\nThe fries were very good. Thick crinkle-cut fries covered with a generous helping of bacon and melted cheddar cheese sauce. \n\nWe both enjoyed our burgers. You can tell the meat is high quality and they are cooked on the grill perfectly. My son shared that he actually thought the double was a little overwhelming with beef and he'd probably just get a single in the future.\n\nMy cracklin burger was very tasty. I was worried about the pork rinds being a little too crunchy and messy, but they were softened enough to be able to easily bite into and get a good flavorful portion with each chomp into the burger. Both of us mentioned that the buns were very tasty and soft, so I believe they steam them a little bit before serving.\n\nHonestly, I was expecting to compare this place to In-and-Out, but they're just different enough in my opinion that there's really no need to compare them. Since I usually get my In-and-Out with full PLOT, and my cracklin burger didn't have any of that. I couldn't really even come up with a close comparison between the two. My son and I did enjoy Shake Shack's fries much more than InO's.\n\nNote: If you're looking for an In-and-Out fix in the area, you just need to head on over to Nolensville and go to the Burger Shack. They've even got the Neopolitan shake for you too!" ]

[ "This is a decent lunch place. It is comparable in its offerings with Chipotle chain restaurants. In direct comparison with Chipotle, Qdoba wins due to its much more comfortable seating arrangements (chairs not bolted to the floor etc...). The only thing that needs immediate improvement is the corn chips quality. They are somewhat dry and often too salty. The fresh mild salsa on the other hand is great. I also liked the \"gumbo\" dish, which is all the usual mexican stuff plus a cup of soup dumped over it...very tasty! Price-wise this place is medium to high...two persons with chips is about $20 for lunch. There are better deals around the university. Try Trung Viet Quisine on Fowler...a much better value! A salute to hard working self-exploiting immigrants!", "Come on, Tampa - do we REALLY need another burrito place?\n\nChipotle, Moe's, Tijuana Flats, and now Qdoba adorn Tampa's list of burrito dining options.\n\nI rank Qdoba as equal with Chipotle - except Chipotle's steak is much jucier and more flavorful. \n\nOther than that, Qdoba's just YABP (yet another burrito place).", "Qdoba is nothing particularly different from Chipotle in terms of food fare, thought the quality and portions are consistent. They are also able to get orders done in good time, and the location is convenient to the interstate, which is why I visit them frequently on school nights.\n\nTheir fresh guacamole is a treat...it's definitely made from fresh avocados and is tasty, which is a big reason why I give them repeat business. Overall, though, Chipotle is probably a more solid option.", "Great service from this location- always! The queso is awesome, and the dining area is way more comfortable then Chipotle. They have really good guacamole too. The manager Big John is the best and will do anything to make your visit the best possible. Keep up the good work!", "Soupy soggy gross mess! \n\nI went to a different location many months ago and had a pleasant experience. After today's trip to this one, I will not be back. It was a total disappointment.", "This was a disaster from the very beginning! I have been to Qdoba's a million times before and they are fine for the most part and make your order how ever you want. We stopped here because it was right by our apartment and we were getting food to go. I ordered the veggie nachos, which were ice cold when we got home (2 blocks away). The lady helping me literally leveled off and measured every piece of rice, every bean and each drop of salsa. When I dared to ask her for more salsa, she told me it would cost extra, then when I told her that was the first time anyone told me that, the manager stepped in and told me I couldn't have more salsa for free. After I explained my previous Qdoba visits - he told me to go to Chipotle!!! I couldn't believe it, he made my decision easy - thank you sir, I will go to Chipotle!!!! :)", "Mmm! I loved Chipotle until I had Qdoba. It's basically the same- same ingredients, same price, same arrangement- but Qdoba has this amazing ranchero/queso sauce that I would probably drink if I wasn't afraid of being called the biggest glutton ever. It completely changes the taste of the food, in a good way, and Chipotle doesn't have anything like that.", "Even though Qdoba has a queso sauce, the flavors and freshness do not compare with some of the other Mexican restaurants in the area. It felt like something was missing. The portions on the Craft 2 meal were smaller than expected.\n\nI will say that the mango salsa and the cilantro lime dressing on the Mango Salad were delicious. The pico de gallo and corn salsa were not spicy at all! I would have liked to have a little \"zip\" to those salsas.", "My expectations were definitely higher than reality with this experience. The two staff members working at the time were not very friendly; the girl in the front had a hard time putting her phone down the whole time we were there. Personally, I think that is a bit unprofessional. \n\nThe food was a bit old tasting, as if had been sitting out for a while, however, this could have just been because it was the end of the day. There are definitely better Mexican restaurants in the area. I bought the Taco Salad and wasn't that impressed. The shell wasn't too crunchy and the toppings weren't that fresh. It was too expensive for the quality of food. I think I'll refrain from returning here.", "Qdobas is another burrito place in a long-list of burrito places around USF. I like coming here for the \"Craft 2\" menu. For $7 and change you can get two items such as tacos, quesadilla, soup or salad. Good portion sizes and everything is fresh. Not the most innovative menu but fresh and tasty nonetheless. Definitely the healthiest (in my opinion) of similar chains. Service is always fine, and they encourage you to take advantage of the discounts (check out their USF student discount and their rewards/points program.) A good choice when we're on our way to MOSI or BG." ]

Amsome!!!!", "After just a week being in business in this Creve Coeur location, we were impressed with our lunch. For $31 we got a tasty and sizable salad, two 11.5\" pizzas and two fountain drinks. The price/ value equation is certainly in-line. It's all very customizable and fast. Even the whole wheat crust is a healthier and good tasting option. Service was excellent, the space was contemporary and clean. Quotes on the wall are an inspiring touch. Only minor flaw was lack of any recycling--surprising given it's a California based company. We will be back!", "Great addition to the neighborhood! Family friendly, great customer service and delicious pizza! We tried the Meat pizza, the Veggie, the Buffalo Chicken and the Cheese pizza. The dough is really good and it's cool that you can completely customize your pizza. We will definitely return for more.", "The place gives a weird vibe. And you should listen... When your \"hand made\" pie comes out of plastic bag... And having just two of us as customers they manage to burn your pizza... Just walk away and don't come back. Ever.", "Terrible experience of a night out for pizza!! First visit was marginal but we thought we'd give it another try after they had time to work out the kinks!! They haven't and the way it seemed they might never get there. Many tables were dirty. Trash can was overflowing. After making our pizzas we were informed the charge machine was down. That should have been relayed BEFORE we ordered. Ok-we had enough cash. After waiting longer than we should of considering the amount of the business they had, we went to the counter where our pizzas had been sitting!!! They were too disorganized to have brought hot pizza to our table as promised. Instead we carried our own barely lukewarm pizzas back to the table. Would have asked for them to be remade but they were out of red sauce after making our second pizza. They either need to get their act together or Pieology won't be in the neighborhood for long!!!!!", "Terrible! Don't bother visiting. Pizza is mediocre at best and the place was dirty! I think the thing that bothered me the most was the staff. They were rude! I ordered a cheese pizza to go and apparently I walked too far from my pizza and the worker literally yelled at me (quite loudly) \"you must stick with your pizza!\" They weren't busy at all. As a matter of fact, my daughter and I were the only ones in line...should not have been confusing. I spoke with the manager about my experience and she gave me a phone number to call of the franchise owners. LOL! The phone number does not work! Skip this place. Bad service, horrible pizza crust, and dirty, dirty, dirty!", "Five stars all day kids great service from the time I walked in the door to the thank you when I left. love the remodel of the location concrete floors cool and Industrial. Only complaint I wish you would cook the pizza little longer at a lower temp to get the inside products steaming hot", "Good pizza for the price. I highly recommend this place for the value that one gets for the money.", "I took my family to Pieology, great pizza, the staff was friendly, nice clean atmosphere, great pizza at a great price. I'll definitely be returning.", "After an appointment and starving, I seemingly walked into this establishment the opening week. Talk about service with a smile; straight away Genevieve approached me with an explanation of how the services work. Fast casual? Yes, but way above walking into a place slinging one topping pizzas on sale. \n\nThere is plenty of open seating and this place boosts great sunlight. This may sound silly but the character of Pieology feels like a pizza bar/hangout with all the warm woods and stainless steel. Note that they do have bottled beers for your enjoyment too. I think many people don't know this location is here as it is located in a low key strip mall.\n\nI chose the Smokin' Buffalo Chicken pizza yet instead of the spicy buffalo seasoned chicken, I went with basic chicken and added pineapple for a little contrast to the hot. Well that wasn't enough it was still blazing but guest attendant Genevieve was kind and gave me some Gorgonzola to cool that thing off. \n\nI stopped in again last night and received an effervescent and informative run down from Brandon. The entire staff was wonderful and bubbly and makes you excited about the meal they are hand-crafting for you. Per Brandon's guided hand I went with Alfredos' Alfredo (\"AA\") with modifications. AA was loaded with 3-Cheese alfredo sauce, parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, mushrooms, artichokes, basil, sliced grape tomatoes, and I added gorgonzola and roasted red peppers. When there is Alfredo sauce involved you have to it eat it fast while it's warm. While the sauce left me wishing for more the pizza was still way better than average. \n\nIf you have any leftover slices, they have the cutest little to-go boxes that you can grab on your own as you prepare to leave. This is a great place for lunch or even to have a meeting after school or work. Pieology is big on recycling and personal responsibility so if you can, don't forget these boxes can be recycled. \n\nIt looks like this parking lot gets full fast but there is plenty in the back. This is more like a 4.5 rating. I think what ranks them higher for me is definitely the service I received. Grab an associate and your appetite and roll down to Pieology. Show love to the crew and they'll give it right back to you!" ]

[ "Hands down some of the best BBQ we've had...and we've tried it all over the states! The pulled pork (the meat by which I judge all BBQ joints) was outstanding and didn't need a lick of sauce to stand out. The ribs were about as perfect as you can get...fall off the bone with just a slight pull to them, perfect, slightly peppered bark, and again needed no sauce other than what was basted on. We did try some of the sauces, though, and they were very good. The warm and friendly staff and inviting atmosphere will surely bring us back to this South St. Louis BBQ Haven :)", "I loved the food when I went in this weekend! The staff was very friendly and the facility was very clean. I took my family and our children loved it! We will for sure be going back soon! The pulled pork was fabulous!!", "I wouldn't have known if not for visiting the new range, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of BBQ here. Great standard options served hot and the meats are quite good. The brisket was sliced nicely, the sauces spot on, spicy sausage was great. I simply can't give 5 due to the high standard of BBQ in this town, and the decor is just not BBQ-esque at all for whatever that's worth, but for a good option on that side of town, and especially if you're up for some time at the gun range I do recommend it.", "I have visited sharpshooters pit and grill on several occasions, and honestly they have the best smoked meat in St.louis. The ribs literally fall off the bone. If your looking for a new place to take your family I highly recommend giving them a try.", "This place is ok. The food is not terrible by any means, but I would not go out of your way for it. I tried the pick 2 plate with turkey and brisket. Brisket wasn't bad, but the turkey was just like a hot piece of deli lunch meat. The potato salad was fine as were the green beans. \n\nThe sauce was my biggest issue. It just wasn't very good. \n\nThe service was excellent, so I will definitely give them props for that. Just step up your game on the sauces, and make better turkey, and ill gladly add an extra star next time.", "Not only is this BBQ on par with pappy's and bogarts but it is in a much more convienent location for me. I am a huge fan of the pulled pork and my fiancé has had the brisket twice. Their beans are a bit spicy but the sweet potato fries are great. The food comes out hot and quick and the people are nice. As a bonus if you are having a bad day you can go shoot a gun underneath before you get your food!", "This is the best BBQ I've had in a long long long time...but the problem is this and only this...how this place continues to operate, abiding all state and local laws, while simultaneously distributing narcotics cleverly hidden within their baked beans? I knew I had hit a wall, a crossroad in youth and ever decline after eating these baked beans... They rearranged my priorities...I considered what depths I may fall to get ahold of these in a hypothetical futuristic post-revolution whereas food is scarce and we, as a society, must relearn how to gather and hunt to live day to day....would I slit the throats of long united friends to taste these baked beans in my future apocalyptic hell scape? Yes...and several times over...they are beyond any single item of food I've ever tasted...and they are just a lone plastic ramekin of baked beans...the Monday after, I returned to work like many of us did, but I had gone through a metamorphosis...I had turned into the \"old guy\" at work that wouldn't shut up about that \"food he ate at that place over the weekend\"...I guess the short version is the pulled pork / brisket platter is superior to any guy fierri St. Louis diners drive-ins and dives hokum...and if you are a paranoid gun worshiper, it's attached to a shooting range...but they will not let you shoot mosin nagant 7.62x54 rounds, so I have yet to shoot there...but don't let the \"ain't gonna take my guns away\" misconception keep you from stuffing yourself with smokey meat, the staff and patrons wouldn't hurt a fly...but there's no crossover market, so don't expect to check out a shooting lane with your Taurus judge in one hand and a slab of ribs in the other...safety first ya turkey.", "Was doing some wedding planning with my step sis (with my mom in tow) today... met with the caterer who suggested including brisket. But she had no idea what is was. Happened upon this place in route to Kennrick Meats to see if they had any on hand (because that's who supplies the caterer). Apparently is a fairly new place--Google still shows it as the car wash that used to be at Gravois and Seibert.\n\nFigured when I heard the name they'd be sure to have some sort of brisket. It's named Sharp Shooters I guess since it directly next to a new shooting range and directly across the street from the 7-11 turned ammo store. First word of caution, if you park at one of the 2 spots facing Gravois and Seibert or down the hill and behind the building, there is a steep glob of asphalt formed into a weird rectangle that goes from wide base to skinner (but ample foot width wide) rectangle. If you have trouble with steps, or other ada walking issues, park down by the range and walk down.\n\nNext prepare yourself to serenaded with heavy metal and an industrial ambiance. The place is clean, 6 regular tables covered with plastic check and oversized and tall tables. (Again, an issue if all the regular height tables are taken.) TVs galore, so would be a fab place to catch an afternoon game... there are 4 or 5 outdoor picnic tables with out umbrellas. So yes, it was delightful getting my 71 year old mother in the building and seated in a tall chair. (Actually, it did amuse the 3 of us..she was fine once up there!)\n\nMenu board is clear n easy to read. Of course, since we were on a brisket quest, we went for the platter--that included meat and 2 sides. SIdes are applesauce potato salad. slaw, or green beans. Fries are not side choice but can be had for an upcharge of 1.25. First thing that rankled me was the tip jar--clearly a server/bus yourself place, I know is the trend, but really it's kinda ballsy and well quite frankly, tacky to ask me for extra money before I have had service. Sodas are pure profit at 2.25 each (but you can have refills of the 32 oz cups).\nWhen food is ready, a kitchen person comes round yelling someone's name till they claim their order. He's kinda a quiet fella, so if you are in a conversation at the table, you have to keep stopping to make sure your food isn't returned for non-claim. \n\nFood served barbq place style in a paper lined basket. I had fries and slaw...way more fries than should be a normal serving, but I guess they figure, for an upcharge, give ya the money's worth. Along with the generous pile of meat, you get toastcut in nice neat triangles, a good deli pickle spear. The regular sides were probably just the right amount, but crammed into serving cups makes it look stingy. \n\nThe brisket was cut in thin slices and had an ok overall flavor. I don't think it was a true pit slow prepared brisket as it was a touch over cooked and not fall apart n buttery like a great brisket should be. Found it a little on the salty side too. But overall it was just ok--it didn't need to be hidden with sauce. (Wasn't too impressed with their sauce--again just ok for a sauce, one was heavy handed on paprika and chili powder.) \n\nOverall, I think this place might have some potential--first pay attention to your diners!! Mixed family and ages, some just in from the church across the street don't necessarily care to be full on serenaded with head banging music. (Fab acoustics since the building innards are exposed and there is no drop ceiling....change or seriously lower the music.) I kinda felt the pricing was a little high for a Sunday lunch--15 bucks a person and you wait on yourself n bus yourself....actually for just ok, over cooked brisket, high.\n\nI would also like to know where their meat comes from since there are no pits or smokers on lot, nor no overwhelming delish smokey scent of q'ued smoked meats. I did see plenty of industrial ovens... so the food is either oven cooked (and a brisket can be done well in an oven if the cooks are experienced) or done off site and served reheated (which would explain the touch of overcooking I experienced)..", "Tried this out after spending time at the adjoining range. Very good pulled pork sandwich, and good potato salad. I used their spicy BBQ sauce, and it was exactly to my tastes. I will definitely be going back there.", "I've had the pulled pork both times I went. It's debatable whether this amazingly smoked meat even needs BBQ sauce! But the BBQ sauce is delicious as well! Sharpshooters is at the very least on par with (if not better than) the other 'Food Channel' famous BBQ joints in town. \nThis is where I will be going when I want BBQ, and where I will bring friends who are visiting. \nBonus- Both times I've gone have been peak meal hours and neither time did I have to wait in line!" ]

[ "First off I come from a land of curry houses (know as the tender loin) that ensnares all your senses and never let them go until you get back to your car and notice 2 mild mannered crack heads are nonchalantly smoking rocks on the hood for your car. (I know it has no frame of reference but bare with me) the one curry house in particular \"Lahore kahari\" which if you never been don't know what real pallet decimating curry is all about. But enough ranting back to the restaurant at hand...first off the prices are a bit outrageous! But I understand that this little gem has to keep up with all the casinos that are just down the street. And let's face it the average uneducated, white, blue-collar scumbag would rather spend more money on a bland slab of cow flesh than send their taste buds on a spice-laden excursion. As for the food's taste, the mixed vegetable korma is quite exquisite. The flavors are really well blended which gives the impression that someone in the kitchen has the attributes of a level 5 spice master. my fiance always sticks with her usual dish, chicken tikka masala, that hits the spot every time without failure. The naan is always light and fluffy with a generous helping of butter brushed acrossed it. So all and all if you just plan lust for Indian food or never tried it before and would like to adventure to curry-land, Indian garden is a must.", "I love Indian food and have frequented all the Indian restaurants in Reno. My favorite is Taste of India on Moana, because the food is great and the owners are spectacular. \n\nThe food at Indian Garden is pretty good, but the customer service is poor. \n\nI like to alternate between all the Indian restaurants, but may not re-visit this one, because although they are listed in the entertainment coupon book, they did not honor the coupon when I last went. They had a sign up on the wall & said sorry we don't do that anymore. The correct way to approach customer service would have been to honor the coupon that one time & say, in the future you will not be able to use that type of coupon again. ... \n\nJust poor service, doesn't leave you feeling good.", "Have been to this pace last year during thanks giving. We happened to have a lunch over there. Felt all the food is kind of leftover from the last night's. dinner. Not even a single dish is hot, infact warm. \n\nAll the dishes were so very bland.. We came out without eating much. We paid like 7 buck per person for the buffet. Though the price is less compared to many places at bay area. I feel that, they can compromize on the number of items but not on the taste.", "We had very nice experience during our visit. Food tasted better than many south bay area restaurant. We ordered Saag Paneer and Tarka Daal and both were excellent. I never had these things better even in Fremont. Naan was good without eggs. Waiting staff was serious but quite functional. Took our instructions well, and when we did not like the Raita (because of much spice), they took it back and never charged for it. They had a survey card also that we filled.\nThis restaurant is on the left, after few blocks from Peppermill, when you are staying at Peppermill or Atlantis a nd going towards downtown. Easy to find and they have sign on the Virginia street.\n\nWe loved the food and will be visiting again on our next Reno visit.", "Walking into a restaurant, near the dinner rush hour, with only one other table seated besides you can make you a bit weary of eating there. However, once your meal is served, you don't care that you and your guest are the only people in the restaurant. \nThe soup and appetizer were absolutely outstanding and full of flavor. I suggest getting the vegetarian dinner for two. It comes complete with tea, soup, appetizer, chutney, naan and two entrees. Runs about $25. If you prefer to order the other way, one entree was priced around $11. \nThe only problem we had is that our order came out wrong. We were pretty sure it was served to the other table because we got a totally separate meal than what was expected. No complaints though because the entree was delicious.", "Delicious food and friendly service. The food is relatively authentic and portions are reasonable. The combination dinners are always a good bet if you have a few people who aren't too picky/specific. Always save room for the gulab jamun or mango ice cream desserts.\n\nI have been coming here for years with my wife (to get her regular required Indian fix) and our son as he's grown up from 0 to 2.5 years old. The staff always try to play with our son and seem to really enjoy our company every time.", "Due to the high dinner prices for rather inexpensive items to produce and serve, as a dinner house this restaurant deserves only 3 stars, but, if you will come here for their extremely reasonably priced lunch buffet, its FIVE STARS all the way. \n\nCost is around nine dollars and includes their fantastic Naan bread. Wrap it around everything and dip it in Marsala sauce. Get some butter and slather that baby. In fact, this spongy, tortilla like bread could make cardboard taste good, it's that wonderful. \n\nEverything that comes in a Marsala sauce is fabulous here, and I appreciate, that for us meat eaters, the restaurant offers chicken, beef and lamb dishes. \n\nI haven't been nuts for the soups, but I love their chai tea. Also, the ice creams are worth paying a few extra bucks for. They offer coconut, ginger and mango, each one divine. Two people might consider sharing a scoop of each before rolling on out of here on your big bloated bellies! \n\nOne neg is that much of the waitstaff, being indigenous Indians, speaks little English. There's usually one good English speaker acting as the manager, but it's a bit wearisome waiting for this one person to be fetched if you have questions about a particular dish. \n\nThe decor is nothing much, the tables and chairs are kinda cheapo, but since I see lots of native types eating here, I presume they approve of what tastes wonderful to me, or, the chef is cooking up something special for them?\n\nI've always been impressed by the cleanliness of Indian Gardens -- as not every Indian restaurant I've tried has made the cleanliness cut.\n\nAnd yes, for all you parking space-o-philes like me, Parking is right outside their door. Perfecto!", "I went here last night with a friend and got food to go because the Melting Pot wasn't going to be able to seat us for an hour (Guess the bad economy hasn't hurt them!).\n\nIndian Garden was nearly empty. They had only one other table, and when I saw their menu -- with inexpensive options for dinner -- I felt terrible about my earlier review that stated you should avoid them for dinner.\n\nPerhaps I've overlooked this option in the past, or perhaps these options are new. \n\n$25 for two people to get a complete vegetarian dinner with their choice of two vegetarian entrees, Naan, Somosas, soup, and either tea, coffee or desert. This option also includes a grilled vegetable salad. This is a great deal.\n\n$30 for two people to get the same as above, but with two meat entrees of their choice.\n\nor\n\n$37 for two people and our choice is called The Royal Dinner.\nYou get two included meat entrees, one lamb one chicken, though I've forgotten the names of these items, Naan, Somosas, soup, and either tea, coffee or desert -- plus you get to choose two meat entrees. That's four meat entrees! Fantastic. My friend and I both ate our fill for dinner and had large lunch portions left over for each of us today. Or, it's enough to feed four people and you can order extra Naan.\nWe chose Lamb Masala and Lamb Tikki (or that's close to the name) for our two elective meat entrees, and brought everything home to eat on my deck because it's the last days of the hummingbirds and we didn't want to miss a thing!\n\nThe food was artfully packed into a large grocery bag. I'd estimate it weighed 6 to 8 pounds because it was heavy.\n\nIn addition, three included small containers are filled with mint sauce, a tomotoey sauce, and a brownish sauce. All were very good. I tipped them $4 or my usuall 10% for a to go order, but I'll probably up it a little next time now that I see the exceptional manner in which they package the food.\n\nI am pleased to highly recommend this as a dinner spot offering marvelous, tasty food with low price options. Try/buy anything with the Masala or Tikki sauces. YUM!", "Pretty good indian food. Went here for lunch with my co-workers and we were all able to eat and sit with no wait. The food was good, not great. I felt some spice was missing. I like really spicy and bold flavors and I found myself pilling on the chili sauce because the heat was just not there. I much prefer Indian Kabob.", "I always feel badly when ethnic restaurants try really hard but still fail to attract customers. Good food and good service is obviously key, but the most important thing besides getting new customers is keeping old ones.\n\nThis is one of the few restaurants in Reno that I try to patronize, not because of the decent food and prices, but because the waiters try to hard to keep us happy. \n\nI am not a fan of lamb, but will try just about anything with chicken or lentils when it comes to Indian food. Having been to India, I know that each region has its own speciality, so it's hard to pick a favorite dish if the restaurant doesn't offer that region's best cuisine. This places does just about everything right and the naan is goooooood!" ]

[ "This new restaurant has opened up in the Grand Villa casino located in the new Roger's Place. We arrived around 7:00 expecting it to be super busy but when we checked it out, it would only be a short wait. Since we just arrived, we decided to walk around the casino first.\n\nWhen we decided to grab a bite around 9 p.m., there was a band playing on the little stage inside. The music was quite loud and could be heard throughout the casino. There were two couples ahead of us but we got seated within 5 minutes. The \"lounge\" area looked small with the band. I followed the hostess and was wondering where we would be seated since I did not see any empty tables. She lead us through some glass doors into another room which seemed odd but I was happy since the music was so loud as I passed by. This area had a few booths and tables with more room. The music was still a bit loud since the wall did not reach up to the ceiling.\n\nOur server came to the table immediately and took the drink order. She disappeared for a while and another server asked if we were ready to order our food. We wanted to give her our food order since we were starving now but she said she would find our server. Along came another girl who took our order who was very friendly and efficient. Then our first server returned with the drinks and noticed that our menus were no longer on the table and asked if we ordered. I replied yes and she ran off to the kitchen like she was upset. Most of the servers here seem like students, young and inexperienced. I felt like the first server was competing with her co-workers since she was speed walking throughout the restaurant but the service was very slow. It was disorganized with too many servers trying to help every table. When it came time to pay the bill, she brought out two machines that weren't working! We tried them both before she tells us they don't work!?? I really did not want to give any tip but thinking they just opened, there will be some learning curves.\n\nThe menu was two-sided, one containing drinks. It did not offer as many choices as I was expecting for dinner. There was lots of appetizers to choose from, a few soup and salads then the some hot items. We had the Hey, Alfredo! which was penne with no meat for $13, tasted okay. The Dip with Beef was also just okay. The beef was a bit chewy and the portion could have been a bit bigger. It was $15 and came with skinny fries. The Match Burger was nothing special for $14.00, the meat was way smaller than the bun. A table beside us had dry ribs which looked tasty and Match Nachos. This was just tortilla chips with salsa, couldn't even see any cheese. Sadly, this would not satisfy anyone's craving.\n\nThe washrooms are hidden in a corner and there are only two, both are unisex. Weird, for the amount of people this place can hold, two is not enough.\n\nIf you sign up for the Player's card, you will receive points and a 10% discount. Our server did not ask if we had the card and knew nothing about It. When we asked her about it, she had to check on it. We were not impressed with the experience here so not sure if we would eat here again.", "We went here for lunch on Friday and I can't say too many good things about the service. They are super new so I get it but they have a lot of work to do. I would have given them a 1 star except the manager paid for our entire tables lunch and we had 8 ppl! So super impressed by that but it was the right call for sure. \n\nOn to the food, the pesto shrimp and Margareta pizzas were good. The salad and sandwich combos were also tasty. Don't get the spaghetti & meatballs. Tasted like it came out of a can! And the Brie cast iron appie was OK. \n\nWe will give this place another chance though cuz it has potential and the place itself is layed out nicely", "A group of 6 of us went to Match Pub on Saturday,very nice inside. Great TV's for watching sports,not a bad draft beer list. I ordered the Taco trio,which I wouldn't order again,not much flavour and kinda dried out. Another person got the fish and chips,I tried a piece. I'd give it a 6 out of 10,another friend got the hot wings which were pretty good. If you like cilantro this place is for you,they throw it on everything.", "If I could give this place a zero stars I would. Dropped in today before oilers game, party of two total, was seated in 5 minutes which was decent time as they had to find someone to clean the tattle to seat us. Ordered drink at start of meal nothing complicated, Diet Coke and water and a coke, drinks showed up, minutes the water, waitress took our order, fish and chips and a French opinion soup, fish and chip had about 15 fries and a piece of fish, French opinion soup was decent size expected, however was the worst French onion soup I have ever tasted, you could taste the stale bread, still no water, during ,eat staff never dropped in to check if food was ok, no salt or pepper on the tables, finally had to flag down waitress passing but and ask to have our drinks refilled, water finally arrived, another waitress brought Diet Coke and coke refilles, however said she had no idea which was dies or regular and they probably both are regular coke, but she does not know as she is cover for the original waitress. Then waited about 10 minutes for the bill.\n\nI would NOT recommend this place\nService below normal service levels\nFood below average", "This was my first time checking out the new casino and we decided to reserve a table for 12 here on a Saturday night.\nFirst impression is that it's a very nice and open restaurant. On one side they seem to have live music, not sure if it's an every night thing. We were in the in the other side, as they have it split into 2 rooms.\nThe food prices range on average from $14-18, so would be on par with places like Earl's and Joey's, typical pub food far. I ordered the Match burger ($14, extra for cheese or bacon), it wasn't anything great. Reminded me of a typical burger you can get at Dairy Queen (which at $14 shouldn't). I actually think the burgers at Joey's or even Original Joe's are better. Some friends ordered the pizzas, I didn't try it but it seemed to be pretty filling (warning if you don't like thick crust and lots of dough pizza then may want to avoid). Another had the wings which I did try and they were pretty good (Tuesdays I think are wing specials at $6 compared to $12 much better deal).\nMy one complaint is that they only have 2 unisex washrooms, which for a very busy and big restaurant is frustrating as you have to wait sometimes quite a while to use the facilities.\nService was very good, as the waitress was attentive, always coming around to check on us and refilling our waters. She also separated all our bills for 9 people, which is very much appreciated.\nI would give this place another try, the chicken and waffle actually looked pretty good. If not for food, I would definitely come here before or after a hockey game for some beers, as the prices for beers is way better priced than at Rogers arena haha.", "We were there on a very busy Friday night. If you don't have reservations you'll most likely sit on the bar side. We weren't even aware that there was a restaurant side...much quieter.\n\nThe music is way too loud...everyone ends up shouting. The person performing was really good...a one man singer and guitar player...very good.\n\nThe food is very good. We had the Mac and cheese, Brie appetizer, chicken bite appetizer and some sandwiches... All very good.\n\nService was also very good, no issues at all. Prices are very reasonable. Interesting that a draft beer is more expensive on the gambling floor than in the restaurant bar, make mo sense.\n\nOur group would recommend this restaurant and we would go more often if we could find close free parking. \n\nCasino was way too busy,crowded, and very hot !", "Currently just dined at Match, and easily experienced the worst service we have had in ages. 17 minutes to receive a beer, even if busy, is absolutely ridiculous! Also, whenever things got backed up, instead of letting the table know, our server has literally just hid. Tables sat 25mins after us ordering have received food before our whole table. All around bad experience. To top it all off, sitting in the restaurant, surrounded by small children, at almost all tables and they turn on UFC. Sounds intelligent to play this sort of programming while in the family section of your restaurant. On the lounge side I can understand, but in the family section of the restaurant is irresponsible. The manager says they have to have half the tvs turned on to UFC, I feel like that is a horrible choice from the venue, and the staff. Don't waste your money here. Food is over priced. Service sucks. Absolutely not worth it!", "Lunch with friends and we decided to check out Match as none of us had eaten there yet. One friend made reservations online for the 5 of us.\n\nWhen I arrived a couple of my friends were there and we were seated in a half circle booth close to the entrance facing the casino. The booth was wide and had 2 tables and we didn't like how our other friends would be seated so far. I went to ask the hostess if we could move into the restaurant part (which I didn't know about but my friend arrived earlier and waited in there). She said no as we didn't have a reservation and they were still full. My friend asked her if it was she was certain we couldn't move, and then yes, she said we could.\n\nWe walked through a dark door to have seating that was more restaurant like with tables, half booths, and chairs. There seemed to be lots of available tables so not sure what the issue was moving us. We asked why when making the reservation, we didn't have the option to choose the bar or restaurant and she said we would have had to write it in the comments section. How would we know if we haven't even been to the place?!\n\nWe were waiting for one friend were but we ordered. I decided on the salmon burger with fries and water to drink. The food took about 20 minutes to arrive and there was a mistake in one of our orders where they brought salad instead of fries. We let the woman know who brought that plate and she said she would bring out fries. She didn't and I told a hostess and I'm not sure where she went but no fries. Finally our server came and asked if there was an issue with one of our orders. My friend told her and she got his fries.\n\nMy meal look appetizing and the salmon had a strong fish taste than any salmon burger I've had. The food was just ok, nothing spectacular. During our meal, the server filled water glasses except mine, and my friend's pop glass was filled with water. If she paid attention to the straw, she would know it wasn't water inside.\n\nLots of inefficiencies and people not know where they're going and what they're doing. I saw a table of ladies being served food after they had already eaten. Maybe having more experienced restaurant staff would help or a manager around to guide them. We went a few months after opening so the service should have been much better. \n\nMy meal was 10% off with my Players card so that was a bit of a consolation.", "Food was very good. Service was what you really want. They know when to check if you need anything without bothering you way to much. Would and will definitely check it out again.", "The wait to get a table on the bar side (restaurant was closed) was about 10 minutes, not bad but once at the table the wait for service was excruciatingly longer. Same for the wait for the food. The food: 3 soft tacos, Caesar salad and French onion soup. Soup was just as good as the frozen one at Costco. Salad was probably one of the worst. In their attempts to dress it up, you get over ripe, over cooked tomatoes, over cooked garlic cloves and balsamic drizzles. And you have to make your own salad. The just bring you a romaine heart and you do the rest. Tasted awful. And the chicken tacos were bland, cold and came with 3 lime wedges - which the only thing you're going to squeeze out of them were seeds. Again, the wait was brutal even for a refill and the bill. Won't be coming back here." ]

Would never go back or recommend.", "Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a very long time and extremely friendly service! Would definitely recommend if you're in the Philadelphia area.", "I've heard of their name thousand of times because of their Chinese hamburger and noodles, and today I finally had the Chinese hamburger and sautéed chicken with noodles. They were all amazing! \nThough the Chinese hamburger is not a real hamburger, the meat inside is juicy and tasty. Love it! The noodles in the sautéed chicken are chewy and the sauce is extremely delicious. \nI can't wait to try other dishes like Liang Pi and Biang Biang noodles next time.", "Wow, spicy sour pork noodles... I think I have a new favorite dish. Spicy, sour, flavor, fresh noodles... Who could ask for more?\n\nCan't wait to go back and try some other specialties. \n\nInformative bar manager/server, sounds like many exciting things to come and some where I'll spend many an evening. \n\nFYI, floor one bar and casual small tables, floor two more formal dining, floor three is/will be private karaoke.", "Located in the Olde City across from Han Dynasty, Xi'an Cuisine is a new restaurant that also offers Sichuan cuisine. When you walk in, don't be mistaken that this place is only a smoky bar; the actual restaurant is on the second floor. I walked in Xi'an because Han Dynasty was full, so while I cannot compare the two Sichuan restaurants, I can say that Xi'an Cuisine offers a solid Sichuan cuisine dining experience.\n\nLet's talk about the restaurant atmosphere first: Clean and brightly-lit setting in modern, Oriental-inspired decor. It was certainly almost heaven and hell difference compared to its bar section downstairs. Check, good clean environment!\n\nHow about the food? Xi'an won me over with its red oil dumpling appetizer, a classic in the Sichuan cuisine. Years living in Houston, I have not found a Sichuan restaurant there that has satisfying red oil dumplings, but ironically I found my ideal red oil dumpling in a Philly restaurant on accident! The dumpling skin was thin enough not to overwhelm the dumpling texture like most restaurants' do and thick enough to support the generous meat filling while latching some red oil on the exterior. The wonton dumpling was well made, but the true star was the hot red oil itself. The oil was spicy as expected, but the spiciness was not trying to overwhelming the taste bud and instead adds another aroma to the food. \n\nBEST red oil dumpling I have ever had!\n\nThe two entrees I have were the salted pan fried pork and mixed vegetables (Buddha's delight). The pork was unfortunately nothing out of ordinary, but the vegetables was a flavorful surprise! I usually avoid ordering the mixed vegetable dish in a Chinese restaurant because it tends to be bland, but my vegetarian mom insisted on ordering it in Xi'an. I'm a little kid who hates eating his vegetables, but Xi'an's vegetable dish was so well-done that it was my favorite entree between the two!\n\nAdmittedly the price is a bit high, although I cannot say for sure if this is a Philly standard pricing. Nonetheless, Xi'an Cuisine is a great choice if you are looking for a solid Sichuan experience!\n\n---\ntl;dr version\n1. Solid Sichuan cuisine restaurant in Olde City\n2. BEST red oil dumpling ever!", "Food was awesome. Service was amazing I think the bartender was the was the nicest, most genuine server I've ever had at a restaurant. Would highly recommend.", "We decided to try this place on the second day they were open. We tried all the recommendations from our waiter: Sauteed Spicy Chicken & Noodle, and the Chinese Hamburger. The sauce for the noodles saved it, the chicken was a mystery (me and my boyfriend were sure we ate a pigeon of some sort). The chinese hamburger was good, nothing special about either dish nor was it spicy enough. I don't think I'll be going back to this location, I might check out the original Xian Sizzling Woks on Arch to spot the differences.", "Xi'an is simply awesome. As close to traditional cuisine as I've had outside of China. Liang Pi (cold, spicy, vinegar noodles) an absolute favorite, and Spicy Sour Minced Pork Noodles right behind. The Wonton Soup won over my 9 year old, and a plan rendition of Biang Biang took care of the 6 year old. We sat at the downstairs bar, and were cared for by one of the best servers ever had - knowledgeable, engaging. The entire package is fabulous.", "Delicious food! Great service! Love the wonton with chili oil and Chinese hamburger! Will definitely come back!", "Everything I've tried so far has been very tasty. Prices are great. Same for service. Today was my fourth visit (the first three were actually to the 9th st one and today was my first time to the 2nd st one.) I will definitely be going back.

Everything!\n\nI am never disappointed when I visit this place. Always helped fast, never a terribly long wait, the waiters are pleasant and professional. The drinks aren't watered down, and the General Manager of this location cares about his customers!", "Why do companies couple forgettable food with horrendous service and let the formula continue while making no discernible efforts to make things better? We stopped at an Appleby's once when the torrential rain made it dangerous to be on the road. We had the burger and ribs. Worse we ever had? No. Memorable? No. But the service? It's clear that Appleby's and many of the other chains have retreated from the notion of fielding a competent floor staff. Abandoned the idea completely. Can't argue, its their store. But maybe they can screen applicants for the servers positions by giving them an IQ test. Not a ridiculous idea. Being a waitron is the default job for students on vacation, hard on their luck single moms and others who need a quick paycheck. Its viewed as no brainer. Its anything but. If your IQ is less than say 115, its pretty clear that on a moderately busy night you'll be challenged as when you have more than one table, you're going to need to think, set priorities and keep at least 2 balls aloft in the intellectual plenum. If a new hire has passed the Cattell, send them out on the floor with this tiny primer, don't let them follow an \"experienced\" server, we know that doesn't work. The primer. PLEASANT - Approach your table with a smile and say hello. Don't tell them your name because hungry people don't care. TIMELY - If anything from the drinks, to the food, to the check takes more than 5 minutes, tell your guests the truth and offer to make their wait as tolerable as possible. EFFICIENT - Before you leave the kitchen, see what has to go out, not just the table you're presently concerned with and when leaving the dining room, do the same, consolidate your trips. The time you save accrues on each saved trip. Don't let any of your guests or any guest with whom you make contact leave without giving them a smile. A server doing the above and coupling that approach with decent food is the way restaurant patrons \"have a nice day\"", "This is the WORST Applebees I've ever been to. I usually LOVE Applebee's but this place has the UTMOST WORST service ever. The server was never around, didn't provide us napkins when we asked for them, and never gave us any utensils until we asked for them. We waited 1 hr 5 mins before we got our food. We were charged 15% gratuity for the horrible service. We had to wait 30 mins before the waiter came to get the check after we complained to the manager. To top it off, the manager didn't care and simply told us they're short on staff. Nobody even apologized for anything. Then, when half of us paid by cash and the other pay by credit card, we were charged another $2.00 gratuity on EACH credit. Once again, there was no apology. I left this Applebee very upset. I have never been so upset about any service before in my life. And, I will never ever go back to this one again. \n\nIf anybody intend to come here, make sure to stay away from Jeffrey the waiter and Peter the manager.", "How is that every time I go to this Applebee's I get CONSISTENTLY HORRIBLE SERVICE?????? The waitresses are forgetful, the wait is unbearably long, and the food is mediocre and usually served COLD the first time around. (I say FIRST TIME because you usually have to send your food back at least TWICE to get what you want!!)\n\nThat being said, the Manager is GREAT and has been accomodating each time a member of his staff screwed something up. So.... Catch 22. The waiters suck but the Manager will try his damndest to make sure you leave the restaurant satisfied.", "I go to Applebees almost every Friday, i sit at the bar and have some wings & a drink, the waitresses give me great service even though they are very busy. the food is hot and tastes good, the price is right. I had 1 problem when I went with my family i sat at a table. the service was horrible!!! i complained to the manager and he did everything he could to rectify the situation. it would have gotten 4 stars if it weren't for that 1 time", "Went there today and wasn't expecting much from this establishment and of course, I left EXTREMELY disappointed. I guess if you want good service sit at the bar. If you want horrible service, sit at a table. I went here for a night out with my wife. It was actually my first time at Applebees so I ordered a beer. The waitress asked me what size I wanted but didn't explain to me what sizes were what. I told her the biggest one thinking I'd get a pitcher and of course I get a tall glass. There was alot of other things that happened during my short time here, this will certainly be the last. Next time I visit a applebees establishment it'll be the one in Manoa Shopping Center.", "Good... Good ....Good! Service was really attentive and good. Food as usual is gr8.", "The commercials make it look like a great neighborhood bar and grill, but truth be told it is not. The food is barely average, except for the fries(which are surprisingly good). I'm not sure if I will be back.", "Love this Applebee's! I rarely dine in there, mostly take outs and they've been awesome. my fave is always the fried chix oriental salad and that fried wonton things (chix/pork wih limes).", "This has got to be the worst chain restaurant on City Ave. While the service makes an effort the food is absolutely bottom rung. I've given this place a number of chances since its close by, but I'm officially finished. The incredibly dry burger that seemed pre-cooked to death and then microwaved was the straw that broke the camels back." ]

[ "If you like your huevos any time of the day, El Zarape is the place to go. With eight egg-based options breakfast or brunch is a go whenever you want. I had the Huevos Mexicanas, which was stuffed with peppers, tomatoes and onions and was VERY tasty. It came with refried beans and Spanish rice which were both really good and very authentic. This is a fairly authentic Mexican Taqueria. They were playing the Mexico football game projected on a large screen, which was popular with the locals. It's right across the street from the Cantina, but this is where the real Mexicans go. I can't wait to try the other menu items. \n\nThe only drawback is that the prices were a bit higher than I expected. That said, the breakfast came as a platter, not a la carte, with coffee or oj so it ain't that bad.", "This review is for the little water ice stand attached to the restaurant. It's not as good as Rita's---it doesn't have that fresh texture, with the chunks of fruit. But it is what it is: a decent litte corner store to grab water ice on a hot day. Plus, a small runs you $1 flat, which, I believe, is a good 50 cents less than Rita's.", "I have a soft spot for the Mexican stylings s of El Zarape because, unlike a lot of the other taquerias popping up all over South Philly, this place uses bacon and mozzarella cheese in some of their dishes, and who doesn't like that? My favorite lunch is the \"Gringa\" quesadilla - lean pork (not those fatty cubes of pork you often find in the more traditional taco joints) marinated and grilled, with mozzarella cheese & grilled pineapple. \nPork, cheese and pineapple? It works I tell you.\n The side of beans (I forget the name they have for it but there is definatly a \"frijole\" in) it is much more like a delicious bean & bacon soup that comes with warm tortillas that the usual glop of refried beans. Try it you like it. Same goes for the homemade horchata.\n\nThe price are much lower than that gringo place across the street and you get something more authentic with a friendly and funny staff.", "It's across the street from the Cantina Los Caballitos. (which is also a great place too! But El Zarape is less about being hip, and more about getting your mexi-grub on!) So when you just want to fill 'yer belly, El Zarape is the place to go when you're at Passyunk and Morris.\n\nIt's a really great place to get some authentic Mexico-city-style Mexican food. Great for just some tacos, but also has great platters too. Way better than Taqueria Veracruzana on Washington. (I'll never bother going north of Washington again!) I love the Chorizo Con Queso tacos. Their meats are top-notch.\n\nAnd very nice wait-staff, but not always completely english speaking... but always trying their best to understand your order completely... and they learned my weird food requests after the second time I went there.\n\nAnd they don't have liquor, but you can bring your own.", "All I have to say is that the staff of the Cantina eat here when they are on shift instead of their own kitchen. \n\nI'm just sayin'.... WHITE RICE????", "I love El Zarape! I have gone here at least 3-5 times per month since I moved to the neighborhood in August 2007. The quesadillas, tacos al pastor, enchiladas verde, salsa verde, hot sauce and rice are just awesome. I've taken my mom and siblings, from the land of Taco Bells, here and they freaked out over how good everything was. When an older friend and I went in on a sweltering day and asked for a fruit salad to accompany our delicious chicken quesadillas, they cut up a beautiful pineapple and watermelon just for us.\n\nI've gone to Cantina twice, and will never set foot in there again. The El Zarape owners and staff are always quick, polite and consistent whether I am in to eat, or to order takeout. I just bring a book for the 10 minute wait or chat it up with all of the other neighbors who swear by this place, too. It may look simple on the inside, but the pride in quality and flavor are always there. Check it out!", "I've become a tacos al pastor junkie thanks to Los Taquitos de Puebla. Nothing has compared to them until possibly El Zarape? The tacos al pastor here were covered in pineapple love. The meat was a little crispy on the outside which gave the tacos a great texture. They had that gross/delicious pineapple fat-juice leaking out when you picked the tacos up. Plus, El Zarape gives you yummy chips which they don't at Los Taquitos de Puebla . However, those chips make me feel weird pains in my chest and I feel full for like a week afterwards so that may not be a good thing. El Zarape, I think you're my new bff!", "It's Cinco de Mayo and we just signed a lease to live on the block. We tried to head to the hipster-packed Cantina Los Caballitos but there was a huge wait due to the holiday. We tried El Zarape across the street.\n\nService was excellent. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Food came amazingly fast! We had one mix-up on a dish possibly due to a bit of language barrier. The server was actually Mexican, you see... which is a plus. But they fixed it in minutes, so no worries.\n\nI asked the waitress for her recommendation and she was surprised then recommended the chicken enchiladas in mole sauce. They were delish! My girlfriend got a shrimp burrito and said it was average.\n\nPrices were ok. And we definitely didn't try it for the ambiance. (Though they had some good Latin music playing.) But because of the friendly and fast service we'll definitely come back!", "You guys really like this place, huh? Maybe my order was too gringo? Chicken burrito, chicken quesadilla, guac and chips. The guac was great, but the chicken was dry. I mean, it was OK, but certainly not anything out of this world. My friend and I agreed, the food was relatively bland. And so is this review. Uninspired food = uninspired writing. Is there a stand out dish here that I need to go back and try?\n\nI miss The Joint.\n\nExactly as the stars suggest, \"Meh. I've experienced better.\"", "Try the tacos al pastor here. I'm a huge fan of the tacos served at the head house square farmers market and these definitely remind me of them. They also give you fresh chips and salsa AND a side of refried black beans. It doesn't seem like much but I found the beans to be great. I liked the food here much better than the hipster haven across the street. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with Cantina if you're trying to get your drink on....but if you're looking for authentic mexican food El Zarape is the place to be." ]

Sports shack has a nice, cozy, back patio where if you let your mind wander you may think you're in Key West instead of Largo. The staff is super friendly; beer pitchers are never left empty for long. Great place to watch a game.", "I came to Sports Shack looking for a quick bite to eat and to just chill before a meeting. It's a little shack that's located in an inconspicuous area, but the interior and exterior is comfortable. It's a sports bar, so there's not a lot to expect in terms of excellent decor and magnificent interior design. \n\nThe Staff: The staff is super sweet and engaging. The server stopped and chatted with us because they weren't crowded. The cook asked me how my calzone was because it was the first one he's made. The owner was around, and she was a pleasant lady as well. I enjoyed how much the staff cared about their job.\n\nThe Atmosphere: It's a typical sports-bar atmosphere. There is tons of indoor and outdoor seating, televisions and space for everyone. There's a Jukebox for choosing your own music too. \n\nThe Food: Again, the food is typical sports-bar food, but it's really delicious and cheap. Like, really cheap. A small child's pizza is actually pretty huge and big enough for two people. The calzone I had was massive and delicious. My sister got a burger that was pretty large as well. The prices are truly fantastic, and the quality isn't skimped on either. That's a huge plus for Sports Shack. \n\nMy calzone had a crispy but soft crust, the gooey cheeses inside mixed well with fresh spinach. No frozen goo here. The onion straws I had ordered as an appetizer were also pretty delicious. Flavorful, crispy and plentiful. In the past, I have tried their vegetable sub and that's pretty incredible too. I get extra mushrooms for a more meaty feel to it. It tastes phenomenal, but it's certainly pretty greasy. My sisters also had no complaints about their food. \n\nI will probably return. There's more than a few vegetarian things I can order here, and all of them are delicious. If you're ever in the area, then hit them up for some football, good food and great service.", "Best wings (get the Sports Shack sauce)in County by far, also the hamburgers are great . A hidden gem, I am never disappointed when I go. Highly recommend", "This place is great! Newly updated interior & really friendly staff! The menu has a variety of options from your traditional fare like nachos & jalapeño poppers to fried green tomatoes & hot subs. The prices are reasonable & they have a good amount of TV's too!", "Great food and really causal fun atmosphere. It's a small town sports bar feel, but they have good music some nights. Have been here many times, and it's always fun and always tastes great!!!", "I recently moved to Largo from Dayton, OH and my husband and I rely on yelp for all of our dining adventures, but my fellow yelpers have let me down this time. My dad and his girlfriend came into town and the Florida vs Dayton March madness game was that day. We were looking for a good place to watch the game, and with a place named \"Sport Shack\" we were expecting sports fans and good food, but we were very disappointed. We ate quickly and left in the middle of the game to go somewhere else to finish the game. \n\nThe waitress was obviously brand new. We asked her what the \"Sport Shack Sauce\" was, and she said \"I don't know, I'm not much of a wing person...\" Uh...\nOk? We ordered appetizers which took about 20 minutes to come out, and when when our food did come out, only half of the table got their food, and then the other half of the table got their food about 10 minutes later. My dad got the wings, because I had heard that they were good from other yelpers, but he wasn't too impressed. They were a decent size though. My husband and I shared the pound of boneless wings, but they were just puny chicken fingers, and there weren't many there. We also had the fried green tomatoes which were pretty good. \n\nOur bellies were full, but we were very disappointed and will not be back.", "If you haven't been here in a while I recommend you give them another try. We are fairly new to the area and we understand this place may have seen some rougher times in the past, but has recently come under new management. We have been here three times for dine in and once for carry out and have been really pleased each time. The interior is clean and bright, including the bathrooms. The whole place appears to have been fairly recently renovated with clean tile floors, new tables/chairs/booths, tons of flat screen TV's, and updated bathroom fixtures. The outdoor bar area where the band plays is a little rougher, but it's outside so that's cool. The wait staff (Kim & Alexis) are great - always friendly and now that they are starting to recognize us even take the time to come say hi even if they aren't our server that evening. \n\nThe menu is made up of really good, solid bar & grill fare - burgers, apps, salads, pizza, and wings. The wings, the wings, the wings...! The wings are large and come unbreaded (the way we like them) - fried and then charbroiled before a toss in your choice of sauce. The Sports Shack sauce is delicious - tangy, sweet and generously applied. The first time we went hubby tried the jerk which he says was good...but honestly we've just become totally addicted to the Sports Shack sauce and just can't bring ourselves to order anything else!\n\nOur first trip I had the Greek Salad - it was very generous, cold and fresh with a huge piece of feta cheese, tomato, cuke, onion, and that funny plop of potato salad that is apparently a Clearwater \"thing\". Really good. Last night we tried the Mini Vinny pizza which reminded us of our home town with its \"St. Louis Style\" -- thin crust, cut into squares, with crushed tomato, hamburger and peppers. We earned a free order of Garlic Knots with our YELP check in. We've been to some places who didn't seem to know what to do with a Yelp Deal and it became a bit of an ordeal to redeem them. However at Sports Shack Kim immediately said great! and Alexis later cheerfully brought us our order of hot buttery garlic knots with no hassles or weirdness.\n\nLove me some Shack!", "I had a few Hours to kill so I jumped on yelp to look for a Sports Bar I could watch NASCAR in and have a few beers. Yelp once again steared my in the right direction. I pulled up and outside they had a live band playing rockabilly music that was really good. I go inside and they had about 15 TV's with various sports on them. They asked me where I wanted to sit and I asked them where is the NASCAR and they said to sit anywhere and they would turn it on. Well I got the best of both worlds, NASCAR on one TV and the Tampa Bay Rays on the other. I had several beers to choose between so I went with the FAT TIRE. One of the house speicals is fried green tomatos which were delicious. They had blue cheese crumbles with a spicy Thai sauce. For 2 beers and the fried green tomatos it was only 15 dollars. What a great deal. Thank you Brian (I think that was his name).", "I am VERY picky when it comes to food (read my other reviews lol) I love food and eating out. I could not believe how GOOD this food was the price was even better. Even though they were busy we still got amazing service. It doesn't look like much from the outside so I always past it by. I meet a friend there for some food and drinks after work and I was pleasantly surprised!", "Friendly staff, clean environment! Being from Wisconsin, we are used to being our kids with us to restaurant/bar places. Our daughter played the golf game while we drank beer waiting for our supper. So far so good!

This definitely a great place. And the price are awesome....", "Miami-style Cuban bakery that is actually CLEAN and run by caring friendly people. Amazing!!!!!!!! Guava pastries, croquettes and these little things called \"chorizitos\" are to die for. Best I've found in Tampa Bay. \n\nHowever, I like the Cuban bread at Florida Bakery on Columbus better.", "Stopped by early on Thursday and Friday, had the Cuban Sandwich for a late breakfast, good portions of Ham, Tomatoes and Lettuce et al. \nWashed it down with a Cafe con Leche. Awesome. Must have been since we visited it two days in a row. The bakery goods are standard Cuba fare and made me want them all, judging by the steady stream of customers this is not a hidden treasure. It's a well know local place,", "La Caridad has been around for as long as it has because it's one of the best bakeries in town. The guava pastries are my favorite, but everything I've ever had there is excellent.", "Cuban hot dog in the bun was good.\n\nGuava and cheese pastry took a bit to get used to. After my acquired taste set in and I started to like it my in-laws accidentally dumped the bag of pastry before I could finish it. Bummer.", "Another fine Latin bakery, mainly offering pastries, flans, cakes and other sweets that appeal to Latin tastes. Do not drop in to find any rye, pumpernickel or whole wheat, but wonderful at what they do. Also sandwiches, croquettes and other finger food to go.", "I like their medianoches and coffee (and you get a hearty portion for what you pay for). \n\nThey also make great guava bread (the Cuban version of a guava and cheese Danish). Note - the guava bread (possibly their sweeter breads) are not vegetarian. We later found out that their guava bread is made with lard. Which is not surprising since Cuban cuisine is very pork-centric to begin with...", "This place is unbelievable. The parking is tight, but don't let that hold you back. The minute you enter your sense of smell goes on overload and them you look around and see all of the beautiful, delish baked goods. Sensory overload sets in and you want to buy at least 1 of everything and fast, before you start to drool. \nFrom cookies to pastry pockets filled with chorizo it is all great and all made there. I have loved everything I have tried, but I am afraid I have become an addict to their chorizo pockets, love them and can't get enough of them.\nGreat place, give them a try.\nWhat's a girl to do? Isn't chorizo in the bacon food group?", "The Cuban is NOT the star here, but it is freshly made and cheap around $3.50, they went up a bit. It is extra if you try to make it a bit healthy by adding lettuce and tomato.\nThe bakery is 5* all the way, you just want to try it all! Everything I have tried has been delicious. The problem is getting out with just your sandwich and not being tempted by all the lovelies behind the glass calling out to you.\nWhat's a girl to do? How did all those pastries learn my name?" ]

Food was excellent. We had the teriyaki steak, shrimp Rangoon, shrimp with broccoli, egg rolls and pork fried rice. The fried rice was the best I ever had. All the food was fresh tasting and good portions. We had it delivered and the delivery was fast and the driver was very friendly. I think we found a new place to get our Chinese fix.", "After years of mediocre to poor offerings in Phoenixville, years of enduring burned spare ribs, years of my pleas for \"extra, extra, extra, extra spicy\" being ignored, my search for a quality Chinese take-out place has ended.\n\nThanks to Yelp I discovered Mayflower. I'm quite sure my first visit wasn't a fluke and that it'll be this awesome every time I visit. \n\nI love being able to order online. Their website is sooo simple and user-friendly. And great for someone like me that has to have their orders prepared to exact specs because you can write notes to the chef when placing your order; in my case, no baby corn, no water chestnuts, and extra, extra, extra, extra spicy.\n\nSpare ribs - Awesome. Meaty. I asked for them not to be fried and they listened. \n\nBroccoli and Shrimp Combo - Awesome. I asked for spicy and I got spicy. Why didn't King Chef ever listen? Btw, with Mayflower's combos, you can get lo mein instead of fried rice for a small upcharge. That rocks. \n\nWonton Soup - Very good.\n\nCrab Rangoon - Awesome. In fact, the best I've ever had because their version doesn't have the thick shell; it's lighter so you really taste the filling.\n\nEgg Roll - Fantastic. The shell is light and not overfried. The filling is substantial. \n\nService was ridiculously friendly. The girl even double-checked my order to make sure everything was there (unheard of!!!) and told me exactly how many sauces she put in the bag and asked if I'd like more.\n\nSorry, King Chef, we're over.

[ "Avoid this place unless the country is in anarchy - which may be sooner than we think - and food is scarce and they are giving it away. Even then, watch out for server Samantha. Never have I come across so rude an individual purporting to be a professional. A customer sat down at the sushi bar, his phone rang, he answered and unless one was totally deaf, you could he was handling a crisis at his job. Samantha proceeded to mock and berate him with another customer as he tried to speak into his phone. He finally rose and spoke with management. (Ms. Harley, the F&B manager on duty promised to \"talk\" to the servers. Who knows that good this does.)\n\nAs for the food, which would normally be the saving grace, while it was very good, why run a gauntlet of rude service when other commendable sushi is nearby?\n\nStill, the comestibles are worth mentioning. This an AYCE venue - All You Can Eat - and the Sunday lunch cost $24.95, before tax. All items tasted were fresh and clean-tasting, with clear, flavorful seafood notes. Ikura - salmon eggs - were briny and crystal-red, though the kitchen was out of quail egg topper. A first-time and perhaps unique offering is the Black Pepper-crusted Ahi, virtually the same as fish carpaccio. It was dense, moist with a very pronounced peppery jolt, but not overbearing. Salmon and Tuna Nigiri were nice laid out, with the latter sporting tiny lemon rinds, which made for a very refreshing taste. While the Rainbow roll was very good, the Moyako was the most sensational tasting sushi I have had in years: Tempura Shrimp and Tuna, laden with and avocado dome. Masterful!\n\nThe sushi makers themselves are solicitous and thus a much better bet for good service than the floor staff, which needs retraining.", "The quality of the food here is so bad that Safeway has better sushi. The tempura is pre-fried and sits out for an easy reach for \"made to order\" rolls. It gave the shrimp tempura a soggy weird texture that made me want to yack. \n\nWe ordered a total or two rolls and nigiri. \n\nNigiri came out first, which was Hamachi (Yellow tail). Disappointed with the quality and portion but still dug in.\n\nWhen the rolls arrived my cousin and I tried one piece each, the taste seemed really off and old so we chose not to finish the rest of the rolls incase it was going to mess up our stomachs. \n\nServers are a little weird. I couldn't really tell who was taking care of us or not. The bus boy refilled our drinks out of nowhere and then when we asked him for the check he said he'll let our server know. The server brings the check over. Handing her my debit card and the receipt back (no check book) she's walking around the restaurant holding the card in her hand while she's helping other customers. \n\n15 minutes later a different lady comes from the back of the kitchen area and hands us an check book with the the created check showing the transaction and hovered over my shoulder, staring at the receipt as I wrote the total, waiting for me to hand it back. \n\n(We aren't jerks, we didn't throw any annoying attitude at them)", "If you've ever been to Kokopelli sushi at Circus Circus Reno, you would know the fresh quality of sushi there. Now they renovated and brought the restaurant towards the front under the name Kanpai (cheers in Japanese). And they have new selections of rolls as well as the old favorite ones. It was so yummy, with open seating and happy ambiance next to El Jefe. I give thumbs up!", "This probably is the best sushi place in reno all sushi rolls taste different from each other and all are so delicious. The fish that they use is so tasty and fresh.

He spoke to the chef and said okay and sat us down. Let me say the workers seemed upset that we sat down. They told us it's not all you can eat and it's a la cart. We clarified it Joey and he said it's a la cart. That wasn't what we were there for. \n\nJoey asked the Larry, one of the sushi chef, and he said 4-430 the rice should be done. My friend said what time will it be ready. Larry said 430. At that point I was pissed and told Joey his worker just lied to me. He said 4-430 and now he's saying 43. He's over promising to customers and is unable to deliver. \n\nJoey apologize and now I have brought the issue to David Hurly, the food director. Btw, Dusty was suppose to managing this restaurant but she was not there to assist the customers. Would explain why they ran out of rice because no one was there to manage it.", "Kanpai isn't worth its price for AYOC. Incredibly slow service from both the servers and sushi chefs. The fact that they have outlets to charge your phone be this place's sole redeeming factor.\n\nNevertheless, Kanpai isn't worth the wait especially when there are faster serving places in town. I won't be back.", "Service here was slow for no one being here around lunch time. Rolls were very small and our dragon roll was very unimpressive(Tempura, Rice, and a small piece of unagi on top). Workers also forgot to bring out some of our food. I would not recommend this place and rather go to the deli next door.", "Sushi is pretty unique compared to other sushi bars which is a plus and makes it that rolls don't taste the same. The fish to rice ratio is pretty good, probably on my top 3 favorite sushi bars list.", "I got to say that this is the best sushi restaurant that I've ever been to I've been to at least 10 other sushi restaurants in Reno and the creativity, presentation of the chefs is always just so good. The ceviche roll is the best sushi roll ever made. They are not afraid to fill you up and make you cry Mercy when your belly is full. Just had a cervix hand roll, it was even better the a long roll", "Being a glutton for punishment, I thought I would give Kanpai another shot, and perhaps enjoy BOTH food and service. Alas, it was not to be. It is said that lightning does not strike twice, but I can attest that bad luck does. Once again, I was 'blessed' with having Sam as my sushi provider. Sam is young, inexperienced and seemingly eager to please, but his customer interaction is at best atrocious and at worst mordantly stupid. This is not invective I hurl, it is fact. And here is why I say stupid.\n\nI am not fan of being called anything but sir when I am spending good money dining in any establishment above a KFC. Don't call me Boss, Guy, Dude. You don't need a tip that badly? Cool. Call me Pedro in that case. For my money, sir is fine. After I corrected Sam four (4) times, he finally got the picture. Suave and savvy are not characteristics which can be forced, so... don't try. Nervous? Okay, fine. Let your work speak for itself. And Sam's work is fine. In fact, it is better than fine, so... SHUT UP!!! Stop talking, Sam and just make sushi. But Sam is incapable of that.\n\nSo, as I ate and read the latest headlines and tried my damndest to enjoy both my food and solitude, Sam chattered on. And On. And... you get the picture. THEN, when he saw I was not engaged in his natter and banter, he said, \"SIr, may I buy you a beer?\" I demurred the first time, but eventually said sure, why not. I ordered an Asahi from the waitress, a $10 offering from the alcohol menu and continued to try and enjoy my visit. Again, alas, it was not to be.\n\nSam disappeared and Grasiela, a truly gifted sushi maker and a very clear-minded service provider, took over. I figured Sam was taking his state-mandated break. But no. Sam had left the building, as in, done for the day, sayonara, adios, goombye. And guess what he 'forgot' to do? And guess who had to pick up the tab for his forgetfulness? No, not moi. Kanpai. The manager, Joey, so said to me, \"That's strange, they're not allowed to do that.\" Ah... another day and a pair of dice. Thus, I paid for both a fine meal and embarrassment of having to ask for a correction on my check, as if I were trying to cheat the eatery out of a drink. Very nice, indeed, dude. Sam, you are a class act. LOW class, but still. \n\nI write professionally, and have done so for lo these many centuries, so people such as Sam help to fuel my both my imagination and notebook for future needs. However, it occurs to me that I can really do without any more Sams, as this one is the epitome of verbal celerity without much self-recognition of how inane he sounds. Oh, and thanks for the beer, Sam!" ]

[ "Thank God for fresh bagels on the Westbank. Don't know what the first reviewer was talking about. Probably just a poser. \nAnyway this Panera just opened three days ago. \nAte here yesterday. Had the split Apple turkey sandwich with the broccoli cheddar soup. It was just as consistently good as the other Panera locations and the restaurant is clean and the service is wonderful. Everyone is very friendly. Will definitely make this one of my regular spots for fresh healthy food.", "Ohhhh yes. Panera Bread has finally landed on the Westbank and oh my gosh was it worth the wait.\n\nWhen I saw that a Panera Bread was coming to Manhattan, I was pretty excited. I had never been to the Panera in Metairie, but I had heard how great this place is and I am a sucker for a soup and sandwich combo. I'm usually not a huge chain person, but the Westbank is sorely lacking in good deli places, so I am going to take what I can get.\n\nToday was only the second day the this Panera was open, so I was pretty surprised that there wasn't more of a crowd at lunch. I guess word hasn't gotten out about the place yet- perfect.\n\nI walked up to the register and decided to do the \"You pick 2\" soup and sandwich combo. I got a half of a bacon turkey bravo sandwich and a cup of the broccoli and cheddar soup. I also got an iced tea. Once you order they give you a buzzer, and when your order is ready, you go and pick it up at the window.\n\nThe food came out fast and it looked amazing. The sandwich half was a good size with fresh turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Everything tasted really fresh and I loved it! The broccoli and cheese soup was a dream come true. This is one of my favorite all time soups and the Panera version didn't disappoint. I was a little nervous that the soup was going to be out of a can, but it tasted really good and I loved it. Bonus: they give you a baguette with your soup order, in case you want to dip!\n\nThis Panera is new so, of course, there are a few \"bugs\" to work out, but I loved the food and I will absolutely return. I am also really excited that they have a drive through, for those days where I don't feel like dining in.", "I really wanted to like this location, but there was a hair in my chicken bbq flatbread and there was barely any chicken. My boyfriends tomato mozzarella flatbread only had 1 slice of tomato. Maybe I'll give this place another try but I only enjoyed their bagged potato chips and the green iced tea. Not good enough for what we paid for. So sad. I hate to give a bad review since they're newly opened, but I can't get past that strand of hair. Ugh.", "so excited it finally opened! their broccoli cheddar awesome!!!!! I tried the you pick 2 combo so 1/2 the sandwich or 1/2 a Salad or cup/bowl of soup .... the Ancient grain and arugula salad is really good . i thought half would be enough but I was over full lol and it was well worth the money. check this place out if your by westbank!", "Finally, been waiting for something different on the westbank for awhile. Small line but that went quick since all registers were open. \n\nHad the pick 2, potato soup and flatbread Sammy, it was filling. I also had the tea which was fresh and tasted good. \n\nService was very attentive and friendly. \n\nOh, also took home the pastry ring. It was fresh and delicious. Think king cake with a twist. \n\nLeaving one star off until the new car smell goes away and they maintain this level.", "I am actually disappointed. We both ordered the pick two combo online for pick up. I had the chicken salad half sandwich and a half Caesar salad. My sandwich had hardly any chicken salad on it :( and then what was on there was more grapes and filler than actual chicken. The salad was really small and had no cheese and barely any croutons. I have been to many panera breads in south Florida before none of the experiences were like this location. I know it's new and we may give it another try but no time soon. $22 for lunch without drinks and I could have made something much better at home. Kind of a shame.", "Just what the West Bank needed! I was so excited when I heard they were building a Panera at this location. Each day on my way home from work I'd look to see what progress they'd made constructing it. But I was nervous... as much as I love Panera, I hoped we'd up with one that's clean and run well with a friendly staff. Well, they exceeded all hopes! They are so friendly and accommodating. Haven't had an unfriendly encounter or a bad meal yet. Keep it up, and thanks!", "Fresh assortment of bagels with multiple cream cheeses to choose from with great coffee is a must for me and my mornings! Customer service is great with an awesome friendly staff!", "I didn't try the Bagels...looking forward to this week. I went the weekend they opened. The French Onion Soup was delicious. Had the Steak and White Cheddar Pannini was disappointed...maaabe 4 oz.s of meat on the whole sandwich. Thought it was over priced. Basically I was drowned in the large amount of bread in the Soup and the small amount of meat in the Pannini.\n\nMay try again this weekend before I pass final judgement.", "I came when this location was still pretty new, so they were all about providing good service. It was more like a full service place. They brought our food out to us. They had a staff member open the door when you entered the restaurant and another was picking up our used plates. \n\nSomehow my family almost always causes problems when ordering food. My mom is allergic to bell peppers and was trying to figure out which items on the menu contain bell peppers. After some confusion with the nice lady taking our order, the manager was called and they brought out a binder detailing all ingredients for all of their items. They were very nice about it, and I was impressed that they were so thorough. \n\nBut...I didn't really like my food. I got a roasted veggie sandwich. The paste they used was way too sour for me. I couldn't finish the sandwich." ]

And I especially like how they sell both- fresh seafood, as well as cooked.", "Good & Bad......First time I ordered lobsters. They were excellent, cooked perfectly, and presented very nicely on a bed of lettuce with lemons all around. Second time I ordered lobster tails. I was quoted $15/lb but when we picked them up was told they were $20/lb. I was told \"take it or leave it\". We took them and several of the tails were complete mush which was very unpleasant.", "Fresh seafood all the way! Found this seafood spot three years ago and have been coming since, the seafood is wild caught none of that farmed shit from China. Great taste and quality. The restaurant is also awesome, the breaded shrimp and chili poppers and ceviche are just delish. But i just love the seafood market products freshness and quality.", "Amazing Seafood at a Great Price. Definitely would recommend checking this place out. The quality of food and with their prices you can try a few dishes. Recommend trying any of the tostadas (beware they are pretty massive)", "This place is awesome! Had a conference near the airport and wanted something other than regular Mexican food (which is good down in this area as well.) Went for the campechana and the tostada mitotera. They aren't shy with the amount of seafood. They load it up and it's seasoned very well and tastes fresh. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. May be back tomorrow. It was that good.", "Had an epic seafood feast here a few weeks ago with a group of friends. We tried a few different tostadas which are piled high with various seafoods, veggies, and salsas. The tostada embarazada (haha) was really ample and tasty. The Coctel Campechana is a giant goblet of mixed seafoods. The toritos are bacon-wrapped chiles, stuffed with shrimp and creamy cheese. Yes, this is as amazing as it sounds. The menu is big and I need to go back and explore more things. They have a variety of hot dishes but I would say the cold ceviche and tomato-based coctel-style dishes seem to be their specialty.\n\nThis place is casual but there is table service, our waiter was super friendly and helpful and happy to take a couple rounds of orders from our group. I enjoyed that they brought little packages of Mexican saltine crackers in with the basket of chips and extra tostadas. Seafood!", "I have not eaten at all of the Mariscos restaurants in Tucson, but this is the best I've had. Very inexpensive as far as seafood is concerned.", "I am totally in love with the little chili relleno stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon.

Today was the most disappointed I have ever been at a Panera Bread location (Trinity/New Port Richey). I ordered 2 Paninis and 2 drinks to go. The check was $20.06 and the sandwiches were horrible, tasteless & thrown together. There was hardly any meat on either one. They didn't give a pickle with the sandwiches and that would at least have had flavor. While I was waiting for the order, I watched the employees and you can tell when they really don't care about doing a good job. I will never, ever return to this location. Complete waste of $20.", "I love Panera Bread! My husband and I come to this location every Saturday. As far as the food goes, it is typical Panera yumminess. However, I'm only giving 3 stars because the staff as a whole needs to get it together. Every time I am there, there is some issue. It's never anything major, just minor annoyances. We rarely get our orders done correctly-either they give the wrong side or mix up our orders, causing confusion. The empty tables often need to be wiped down & a lot of the employees walk around like zombies. It's odd. Still, it's yummy food & it's served fast, so we will continue to be regulars at this location.", "We saw the new turkey cranberry flat bread commercial on TV and had to try it. Boy, everything is bigger on TV!\nWe ordered the turkey flatbed only to find that it was much smaller than we thought.

Our heads were hung in shame as our hands were extended for the morsels . couldn't find the rolls that were supposed to be there either. The staff has that \"nose in the air\" attitude, ya know...that \"you need us- we don't need you\" kind of social display. I get a little intimidated by this crowd, god forbid I say anything about politics.\nWe took it home. Once we opened the flat bread wonderment we were surprised to see a 4\" round 1/16th\" thick disc utterly NOT filed with turkey and dressing and sauce. There were 6 beautifully arranged green spinach leaves, a half a teaspoon of cranberry stuff on the left side and approximately 2 pieces of, what i suspect was turkey, about the size and thickness of a nickel.

When we visit we're usually looking for a quick breakfast and a bunch of bagels from Panera are the perfect solution. Often I'm the one to run out and get them because I like to also get a mocha for myself. Maybe I have terrible timing but this story always feels overwhelmed, for lack of a better term. \n\nLast week when I ordered bagels the cashier spent most of the time I was ordering staring at me and looking slightly confused. I wasn't sure if she was actually taking the order but I doubled checked it as I walked away and it was correct. She was also super confused when I ordered a \"skinny mocha\" but I noticed afterwards it was not listed on the menu at this location (I've seen it on more than one menu board up here). The location is generally convenient but the parking lot is always chaotic and the service is meh.

Wait staff very friendly. Whether it is their fried chicken, daily specials, seafoods or their best in the world bread pudding, it's worth a trip to the suburbs to dine at Mr. Ed's.", "Have been spending some time in Metairie lately and have been searching for a great place to eat. While searching online for Buster Holmes fried chicken recipe I accidently came across Mr. Ed's. Before driving to this establishment I asked several locals about Mr. Ed's and everyone said that the food was excellent. Tucked away in Bucktown in a residential neighborhood I almost missed this place but glad I didnt. My partner and I are both Italian so we both ordered our favorites, Eggplant parmigiana and Veal parmigiana. Both of our lunch specials came with a salad and a piece of garlic bread which was a little stale but good. The breading on both the Veal and the Eggplant was perfect and my Veal was milk white and delicious. Although I'm not a fan of Marinara and prefer a good Italian seasoned sauce the Marinara was fresh but a little sweet. All and all we enjoyed our dining experience at Mr Ed's and cant wait to go back for some of their seafood or their fried chicken which I've been told is the best in New Orleans.", "Being a visitor from California........ I'm grateful for stopping by this \"local\" eatery! The location is in a residential setting, so I could see why there would be no foot traffic or tourist stop!\nAs a visitor, I had to try the Po-Boy sandwich. I got a half catfish and half shrimp sandwich! The shrimp and the catfish were both full or flavor.... I couldn't decide which one was better! They were both delicious!!!\nWe also ordered a seafood platter with fried oysters/shrimp/catfish! The plate was HUGE! More than one man can eat!\nThe service was great! All in all an awesome experience! For all you visitors...... try and make it out to this joint! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT", "The food is was good and the service was ok.

I had the eggplant casserole, which she raved about. It came with a sad little salad - literally 4 or 5 pieces of lettuce with one cherry tomato and one cucumber slice. I would have rather skipped having it all together since it was so scarce. But we did opt for the seafood bisque as an extra which came with a crab ball afloat in the creaminess, which was a nice touch. The casserole was too rich for me - I couldn't taste the eggplant and the main flavor I could detect was creamy sauce. The stuffed peppers were the same - but that has a lot to do with Southern food too - I think.\nThe peas that were a side were really mushy and watery. The green beans and carrots were a little undercooked.\nThe service was friendly and I had my iced tea refilled constantly (which I appreciated).\nWhat really stole the show was the dessert - tiramisu, meh - I could make much better. But the Ice Box Lemon Pie was TO DIE FOR. Airy merengue suspended over tart lemon custard on a crunchy crust.\nNow THAT I would go back for - skip the main and go for dessert!", "This is a great place to take your kids to after work during the week. The food is decent, and the atmosphere is friendly. There's a claw machine and a huge aquarium filled with the cutest fat-headed fish to keep your kids entertained. \nI personally enjoy the grilled chicken on bun, dressed. I don't know what they marinate their chicken in, but it's super tasty and moist every time! Yum! Another great dish is their creamy seafood pasta. The sauce is excellent!", "This is a great alternative in the Bucktown area to Deanies or R&O. You can find me here at least once a month. Service has been excellent since Katrina (2005), it used to be a bit sketchy. Fried onion rings, stuffed artichoke, & fried eggplant strips are my favorite appetizers. Portions are large. Eggplant parmesan is great. Grilled pork chops are good as well. Fried chicken is a nice change of pace from the usual fast-food joints too. Be warned, the menu tells you that it will take 25 mins extra, but it is worth it if you are craving chicken.", "Popped in on a whim and was really surprised how good the food is.

All the patrons seemed to be elderly folks, but that just meant it wasn't overly loud during the meal.", "OK everyone, there is a review below mine (One Star) that I think is quite unfair, and obviously meant to hurt this great place...(just had to add this on 4/3/2013) \n\nHere is my review, exactly as I first posted it, and it still stands today:\n\nWhen it comes to a breakfast/lunch place, there are a few things people don't usually consider.\n1. What is the overall quality of the food....it is truly made by hand, or are the recipes and ingredients sold to the place by the food distributor? \n2. Do you see the same people in the place over and over, year after year?\n3. Do you know exactly where to sit on different days of the week, so you get your favorite server?\n\nThis is the way Kopper Kitchen operates, for over 30 years:\n\nThey make their own sauces, salad dressings, etc. right there in the kitchen, and they are really excellent quality and taste great. The produce they buy is first rate, so your salad will be great! \nThey have lots of \"salad\" sandwiches....Chicken, tuna, etc. and they make them all from scratch in house, never bought from the food service. They make their soups, daily, from a recipe, not from a plastic tub, can, etc. \n\nThey have a vegetarian special, daily, and it is amazing how great they are, even for a omnivore like me!\n\nOn Wednesday the 5th, I had the Lentil soup and meatloaf with seasoned rice and gravy. So hot you have to wait for it to cool...perfect. So good, I had to finish it all, even though I knew I was overeating.......Oh well, I will just cut back on dinner.\n\nAnd the place is packed, Kathy is my favorite server, the owner, Fred, has a rotation of his three daughters helping him from time to time...and they all work together.....\n\nReally, there are simply no other places in a 20 mile radius that can come close Kopper Kitcken for food, friendliness, service and overall quality. If I eat elsewhere, I usually wish I had gone to Kopper..", "I've been going here for about ten years now. Its not fancy surroundings, but I'm there to eat the food, not the wallpaper. The same staff has been there for years. They always make you feel welcome, and the parking lot is always full around lunch time. I see a lot of \"regulars\" and this to me is a sign of quality. I almost always get the small Greek salad, but trust me, it isn't small at all! The bread pudding is a huge enough serving for two people. There has only been one time in the past that I can think of when service was slow, but that was at breakfast time, and every table was filled, so understandably there was a 15-20 minute wait. However, this isn't the norm. I actually went there one time and had somehow forgotten to put my wallet into the handbag I was carrying. Fred told me to just bring the money back another day! They are very nice people, they like to get to know their customers, and I've never gotten a bad meal there. St. Petersburg really needs more quality places like this, kind of like a \"mom and pop\" diner. I saw the bad review below, and frankly the first thing I thought was that someone was simply writing a bad review out of spite for this place. (tho I have no idea why) Again, its NOT fancy on the inside, but it is clean, friendly, and the food tastes home made, not out of a box.", "Did lunch here yesterday after staying away for about two years. The gracious cashier lady tells me, sit anywhere you like, the greeting that always makes me feel welcome. It was after one on a Saturday, so no big lunch rush. Mostly a boomer crowd, my own age. All booths occupied along the wall except the last, so took that. \n\nMenus are on your table. A friendly waitress appears quickly, what would you like to drink? Coffee please, which was reloaded four times even as she was busy attending others. Since you can order breakfast anytime, went with a ham omelet plus home fries and rye toast. A few minutes and the folded omelet arrives. \n\nThey get a medal for service, and waitresses seem to know most customers. A simple menu with not too many choices, a good thing as you can choose quickly. Walls adorned with copper jars plus colorful paintings. Tables and floors constantly being swept and cleaned. Courtyard entrance in the rear filled with plants, unique touch. Kopper Kitchen has been here many years in a town strewn with memories of dead restaurants. Only cash accepted", "This is one of my all-time favorite places to go for lunch in St. Pete. It makes me nostalgic because my friends and I came here after school nearly every day in high school and the staff recognize us to this day. I wish I could get here more because you feel at home when you go there. \n\nBut anyway, on to the food...\n\nFull disclosure: as much as I love this place, I've never been a fan of their breakfast. With that being said, it's been 8 years since I've had it so I don't know where it stands at this point. \n\nBut my favorite thing about this place is their veggie sub. I haven't eaten meat in over 9 years and this sub has been known to be a favorite of my meat eating friends. I've also know their salads and clubs to be good according to friends and family. Oh, and their crispy fries... Always good. \n\nThis place is like a diner with a twist. And if you're a vegetarian, don't pass up the sub.", "Every time I visit my family in Florida I insist on a visit to the Kopper Kitchen for lunch. This place has been here for ages and what I love most about it is nothing has ever really changed. Don't expect fancy food, but instead expect very fresh and very well prepared simple breakfast and lunch fair. My go to meal is always the small (actually huge) greek salad, and OMG is it always just what I needed and wanted. Lots of feta, fresh greens, cucumbers, great home made potato salad, red onions, tomatoes... and that amazing house dressing... it's also served with their classic garlic roll... man I want to fly in today just to get another and it's making my mouth water thinking about it...\n\nNow they also have a lot of other good stuff including daily specials, excellent sandwiches, and especially the soups, which are consistently fantastic...\n\nFinally, I've been coming here for years and they have a great family atmosphere. The servers have been there forever, which I think speaks well of an establishment and the owner is a real sweetheart of a guy who is very accommodating to families, regulars and new patrons alike. Just can't say enough good things about this place.", "My husband and I love this place. Egg salad they make fresh by order. Big slabs of moist ham. Sausage patties are not pre-formed - they're sliced from a roll of delicious breakfast sausage then flattened on the grill for cooking. Little cups of preserves and jelly - none of that plasticized jelly here. Patty melts that melt in your mouth. Homemade soups. Fresh salads. The best lemon merinque pie I have ever had is made fresh every Thursday. No chain restaurant offers food this good, and it's served by super-waitresses who've been there forever. Two negatives: so-so coffee and sometimes the pancakes aren't cooked in the middle. That said, we are sad it is closed on Sundays - we'd go every week.", "On a recommendation from a local shop down the road, we were starving and needed a quick bite.\n\nWhat's not to love? It's 5 stars because it's top notch for this type of establishment. It's right on Central Ave, it's jam packed and tells you that you can't go wrong, the menu is like the best of the best for diners and the food and service is GREAT!\n\nI ordered a simple combo platter that consisted of a huge tuna scoop, a huge egg salad scoop and a huge potato salad scoop over some lettuce, some red tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado and a few black olives. Perfect. It was all very crisp and fresh looking and I enjoyed the entire thing! My husband had a Reuben and I am not a big fan of corned beef, but it was so lean, sliced really thin and it was excellent!\n\nOur server, Patti, was ever so nice.\n\nAll in all, this is a really great spot. It's not much to look at from the outside, but it sure fills your insides with goodness!", "I have been to Kopper Kitchen an inordinate amount of times, due to the quality eats and the proximity to my work location. This is not a fancy-pants venue; it is a family owned diner with fresh ingredients, items made from scratch, and all of the friendly that you can handle. The average age of the customers always seems to be about 72, so it makes me feel like a young whipper snapper. One of my all-time favorite sandwiches is located at Kopper Kitchen: The Veggie Reuben. It is a hot mess and oh-so-delicious. I am also a big fan of their salads.", "I've been going to Kopper Kitchen since I was a kid... it's a St. Pete mainstay and you'll see everyone from the mayor to school teachers, to fisherman, retired cops, stay at home moms and high school seniors. The price is right for fresh, no nonsense meals. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, and I have been there twice in one day- it's that good. \n\nTry the breakfast special for a filling way to start the day- the biscuits are homemade. Feel like only strawberries and bananas in your fruit cup? Do it. Delicious. For lunch, the patty melt, the BLT with the juiciest red tomatoes and slice after slice of bacon on toast- YUM. The chicken salad is delish, oh and the greek salad too. You'll need to dump it out on a big plate to make sense of it all. They make a different special entree each day of the week, and they are all great. \n\nDessert? They have that too. Homemade creme puffs on Wednesday will rock your face off. Seriously.

Each room is decorated in super cozy old school Christmas decor and plates of Christmas cookies are served up at the bar along with holiday beers and cocktails. \n\nCreative concept and a great place to get into the holiday spirit.", "It was okay. The smell of canned air freshener was overwhelming. It looked as if you were in a 70's basement, which could either be endearing or horrifying. Would I go back? Probably. Did I love it? Definitely not.", "What a great concept...a holiday themed pop up bar! I dig it!! And I must give my husband props for knowing about it before I did. \n\nThe owners of Finn Mc Cools purchased the jewelry store attached to them and made it into a last minute holiday bar with cheesy colored Christmas lights all around, wrapping paper ceiling and festive drinks (seasonal beer and about a half a dozen cocktails) on a menu that looked like a greeting card! Fun!\n\nPerhaps my favorite part was that we could bring the kiddos with us for Shirley Temples! Yep, we're those parents that bring our kids to the bar haha \n\nDrinks were very good, strong, and certainly got you in the holiday spirit...\n\nHardywood Morning Stout on draft which had coffee, cinnamon and nutmeg. Warming and filling. \n\nThis Little Nog Of Mine a creamy eggnog cocktail he absolutely loved. \n\nHarvest Mule- cranberry vodka & ginger beer with the most delicious red and green sugared rim! Yum! \n\nMy only complaint would be the plastic cups, but I get it...it's not permanent. For $10-$12 a pop for a cocktail, I really wanted a glass. \n\nIt was a laid back, casual atmosphere. Not a ton of seating but they did have three rooms filled with lights, Santa's and trees to cozy up in. Oh, and be careful, the restroom door sticks! \n\nWe had a ball here! Everyone was friendly and in good spirits including the bartenders. We would definitely come back again!", "i expected this place to be a bit bigger, the drinks were over priced but were yummy. it sucks that it closes at midnight so i'd definitely recommend going earlier when it's not super crowded", "Pretty disappointing. I like a cheesy pop-up as much as the next guy, but the service and prices leave a lot to be desired.", "I was so excited to try Tinsel because I loved the concept―a Christmas themed pop-up bar by the owner of Bru, Independence Beer Garden, and U-Bahn. The exterior is adorably decked in Christmas lights and garland. Even the font on their sign had me―so cute! Once I walked inside though, just bleh. Tinsel resembles that of an 80s wood paneled basement thrown up on by Party City. \n\nThe drink menu was creative with holiday themed drinks but they all came in plastic cups. The best drink I tried was the harvest mule. I was shocked at the amount of people in Christmas sweaters and Santa hats showing up in large groups. It's very stuffy in here and it's one of those places where you go for a drink and think 'Okay, I saw it and I get it, where should we go next?' At least it's located right by some great restaurants and bars such as Sampan, El Vez, and Barbuzzo. \n\nThe male bartender was nice but the female bartender was the Grinch. She never once opened her mouth. When it came time for me to order she just stared at me emotionless and waited for me to order. I also said \"thank you\" and got no \"you're welcome\" in response. Granted, they were extremely busy when I visited which was around 6pm on a Thursday. I was discussing with a coworker how disappointed we were with Tinsel and she made a great point- This bar is essentially a failed version of NYC's Rolfs.\n\nTip: If you really want to check Tinsel out, it's only open through January 1st.", "This place is wall to wall people with no room to move in the entire joint.\nWeb site said food....didn't see any\n\nLuckily this only season", "This is a cute place. Fun for a group. I asked the bartender - \"can I get a glass of whatever bubbly you have?\" \"We don't have that.\" \"Ok, glass of white then?\" \"We don't have wine.\" Uh. So I picked from their festive holiday cocktail menu and settled on a peppermint schnapps drinks that listed WHITE ZIN as an ingredient. No wine you say? In any case, it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. I don't like super sweet drinks but you know - \"when in Rome\" and whatnot. Decor was cheap and festive - but also everything a bar like this should be. If they invested a bit more into the drinks available they may have a larger crowd. This place was by no means poppin when we went around 9:30 pm (although it was a Monday night- but the Monday night before Christmas!)", "I loved this Christmas themed pop-up bar! It fits everything you want-tacky decorations and decor with Christmas themed drinks like gingerbread man martinis, eggnog, merry margaritas, and spiked hot chocolate. \n\nThe downside: a) the place was packed so come expecting a crowd and b) the drinks were served in plastic cups. This bar would be all over Instagram if it had real glasses." ]

[ "When scouting possible cities for the post-grad school move, my husband and I had three criteria:\n 1) low cost of living\n 2) a pretentious grocery store (Whole Foods got here in just the nick of time)\n 3) good taco trucks\n\nUpon finding El Chavo, we knew Boise would be our home.\n\nEl Chavo is amongst Boise's better taco trucks. Its menu is limited to taco truck basics - tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and tortas. Even their meats are the metaphorical 'girls-next-door' of Mexican proteins - asada, pollo, chorizo, and carnitas, with cabeza and tripas rounding out the exotic portion of the menu. A more extensive menu is posted on the starboard side of the truck, but a fine-tip Sharpie® has tattooed a scratchy line through most of the menu items. But what El Chavo lacks in quantity, they more than make up for in quality.\n\nThe tacos are the standout at El Chavo - and not just because of their $1 price tag. A duo of white corn tortillas is grilled until their surfaces become a patchwork of crispy and pliable, easing into a chewy, tender middle. These tortillas caress a handful of meat so generous that it will spill onto your plate no matter how deftly you maneuver the taco to your mouth. Tacos are garnished with finely-diced white onion and feathery cilantro leaves, served alongside sweet grilled onions and a blistered Serrano pepper.\n\nOne of my pet peeves with Boise's taco trucks is the overuse of pulled roast chicken instead of pollo asado. While I enjoy a good roast chicken, and the spinning carcasses at Costco™ have tempted me more than I care to admit, I find it too wet and texturally incompatible for tacos. Considering the pervasiveness of this protein on Boise's mobile Mexican menus, I'm clearly in the minority on this issue. But El Chavo, at least, agrees with me. Order pollo at El Chavo, and instead of a damp wad of stringy flesh, you'll get a tidy heap of cubed grilled chicken. This pollo asado has been seasoned gently with annatto and absorbs essence from the iron grill, so its surface becomes a crisp flavor envelope around the plump chickeny center.\n\nAnd although I'm well sold on El Chavo's pollo, it's worth a buck a piece to try their other proteins. However, I've found their asada and carnitas to hover on bland and fatty.\n\nAsk for an extra cup of salsa verde - a homemade concerto of fire-roasted tomatillos and jalapeños. Or if you \"dine in\" the adjacent tent, each table is set with a bottle of this fantastic serum.\n\n*** CASH ONLY ***", "I keep finding some great Mexican eateries in Boise and none of them a chain job. El Chave is a food truck located at Overland and Pershing, just west of Rockie's Diner and on the same side of the street.\n\nThe tacos are fantastic and only $1.25 each. Doubled wrapped in corn tortillas, they are tasty. I had carnitas and chicken and they were both tasty. The couple that run the truck are friendly and they include lime slices, grilled onions and jalapeño with the meal.\n\nThere's tent seating next to the truck and they have bottles of two different salsas that they bring to you. They were both good, as well.", "I went to these kind of food trucks back when I lived in CA, I could not find anything decent while I lived in NY (not NYC obviously)\nIt was a little hard to find the place since it did not have an address and I had to look through a few other websites to find the location, it's updated now on Yelp.\nToday i tried their 5 taco sampler with beans, rice and soda.\nWell hello it was throwback time, just as I liked them so much back in CA. Very tasty and you can add 2 homemade chili sauces for extra flavor. The meat was juicy and the ingredients are fresh. I'll come back and try their other stuff soon.", "You know you are at the right place when you eat amongst Mexicans \nTheir food is fantastic!", "We like to go here after going grocery shopping at the Boise Bench Market! Fabulous tasting pork tostadas and a massive chicken burrito! Two foodies Full with authentic food for 11 bucks! Try their yellow, green and red salsas! Amazing!", "Best, and most unique refried beans I have ever tasted. Not a pile of mush like everywhere else!\n\nAwesome tacos. Everything made to order. Inexpensive (5 tacos, chips, refried beans, drink, and a fried pepper for $9). \n\nBetter than any sit down restaurant. Very friendly family runs it. \n\nJust passing through on I-84 but will always stop here when passing through Boise!\n\nOpen till 11p on Friday too after long drive!", "Awesome veggie burritos stuffed full of goodness and only $4 best deal I've had for the amour of food offered in awhile. But for best serves you should probably know some Spanish the employees aren't the best with understanding English.", "Cash only! \n\nTheir tacos are a buck twenty-five each. They are small, authentic, tasty and enough to bridge the gap between early lunch and dinner. Their hot sauce is seriously mouth burning hot, so be careful. Don't douse your tacos before you try the sauce beforehand. Tacos also come with roasted peppers. \n\nI need to get back there to try the other stuff on their menu. It is just good to know of a good quality taco truck in my hood.", "I've got to say this is my favorite taco truck yet. Their homemade salsas are the best around and their carne asada and adobada tacos are consistently amazing. Their horchata is excellent as well. I would give them 5 stars if they made their own tortillas (I'm pretty sure they don't).", "We have been back plenty more times since the last review. We still like them, some offerings more then others. Quick Hint: stick with the tacos :)" ]

[ "I've gone here several times with my foodie friends for Sunday Brunch, and each time I was delighted. \n\nAs to be expected for a place in Montchannin, it was beautiful, elegant, and super-foo-foo. For my first time there I was underdressed in nice jeans and a classic sweater. Wear your Sunday best.\n\nThe service was impeccable, the coffee was delicious and the food was perfectly prepared. Definitely the best eggs benedict that has ever crossed my lips. \n\nIf you need some foo-foo, this is your spot. Dress nicely, dahling, and don't forget which fork to use-- they notice. Bring the in-laws there.\n\nPrice-wise, it's only about a dollar or two more expensive than you'd pay for brunch anywhere else. \n\nFor dinner, it's pricey; but you'll get what you pay for, without question.\n\nIt's best if you call ahead and make a reservation, even for brunch.", "My future in-laws were awesome enough to take me here for dinner. This restaurant is part of a bed-and-breakfast type inn, very nice -- and expensive.\n\nThe food was really superb. At the beginning of the meal we all got a 'welcome' from the chef which was a bit of goat cheese garnished with a plum and some fennel. \n\nI had a crab bisque, which had some of the best crab I've ever tasted in a creamy delicious soup -- rich but not too rich. I also tried a bit of the arugula salad, which had many fresh twists of flavor -- nectarine & vanilla vignagrette, with cranberries.\n\nMy entree was a beef tenderloin, a nice piece of meat that was charred nicely. Delicious.\n\nThe dessert was actually the most unmemorable -- chocolate buttercream cake, but I heard the creme brulee was great. \n\nI would have given this 5 stars, but my fiance had the special of the day (kobe beef), and suffered a bout of food poisoning. :( But ... besides that, we both agreed everything was really fantastic.", "I attended a dinner for 16 in a private room called the Board Room. We were disappointed. The service was terribly slow. After cocktail hour, we were seated for dinner for a half an hour before even a cold roll appeared on the table. The soup and crab cakes were \ntoo salty. The crab cakes were quite dry and served with a forgetable rice and a few overcooked spears of asparagus. The creme brulee left a greasy after taste. One cup of coffee was served with dessert, but no refills were offered. As mentioned in another review here, at least two of our party had intestinal distress later that night. \nThe distance of the Board Room from the kitchen may be part of the service problem. This private dining room isn't in the same building as the Krazy Kat Restaurant , so logistics may complicate service. Although the chairs in the room are very large leather executive chairs, they are not really comfortable for everyone because the seats are so \"broken in\" they're akin to bucket seats and cause a shorter woman to be almost at neck-level to the table! \nI must also comment on the difficulty parking in the small lot and the treacherous, rather long walk on cobblestones and steep stone stairs that make this a less than desirable place for older women in heels, especially after dark. This is part of the ambiance of the historic locale, but it appeared that a disabled person would have a great deal of difficulty attending a function in the Board Room.", "Had Antelope. It was quite well prepaid and was super tasty. Had a mint Julip that lame. The waitress said all the wait staff prep thei own bar drinks. \n\nThe low stars are for the long service. 3.5 hrs fir party of ten. When asked for the bill, took 15 minutes.... \n\nHad breakfast again the next morning with a table of five. I had the omlette which was very tasty butAGAIN did not get put in under an hour.... It was only one course and the room was only HALF full!\n\nI ate there two more times since I wrote the original post above. The trick to getting out of there in a reasonable time is to let them know before you sit down that you are on a time table...", "great atmosphere and excellent service. The wine list and the food were delightful. Pricey. Can't wait to go back. The best part was the waiter bringing us this wacky freebie appetizer, which consists of 3 parts - i don't remember exactly what it was (lots to drink that night...), but basically the results was something like a bacon cookie. Strange combination but DELICIOUS!!! \nLook forward to going back there.", "A couple friends took a birthday girl here for brunch a few Sundays ago and I have to say, I was more than impressed. Kid Shelleen's is a standard brunch option for Wilmo folk, but for those willing to dress up a wee bit more, I think Krazy Kat's is a wonderfully affordable (surprise!) option. We each had a breakfast cocktail and delicious omelettes, all for under 20 bucks a person. We sat in the solarium for what felt like hours, chatting and were not bothered aside from the filling of our water glasses. I can't wait to go back!", "We stayed at the hotel on our road trip. Our first thoughts would be of more history preserved at the place, and the Krazy Kat really lacked original atmosphere, it did have the feel of a 1980's fit out. The ceiling in particular looked as if it had come right out of a retail store, and the ambiance was dated. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food selection interesting if a little dated. I had braised pork belly to start with followed by sweetbreads. Both dishes were over salty for my liking but the pork belly worked best. The sweetbreads were served with macaroni......which to me simply did not work. I got some truffle mashed potato (excellent) and green beans which worked well.\n\nOverall we felt slightly disappointed as the chef tries well, but the whole place was a little stuck in the past.", "Dined here on a Tuesday night with a group of 7 for a late dinner at 8:45pm. \n\nThe ambiance before going to the restaurant was romantic - to say the least. The tree that was lit up with small lights, the crickets creating a melody with their little chirping, to the old trees with a lot class. However, I was surprised right away when we walked in. The restaurant is dressy; there are paintings of cats and dog everywhere including your plates; the chairs are huge as if from alice wonderland. \n\nThe food was very good. If we were to base the restaurant on food alone, the restaurant would have gotten a 4 star. What did we have then?\n\n1. Cheese Plate - Pick 4 different types of cheese for $20. A very good deal. We were able to share one cheese plate amongst 7 people. The cheese selection is varied and comes with a strawberry jelly, berries, bread & crackers. \n\n2. Sides - Each side is able to serve family style. \n\nMac and Brie - It's Mac and Cheese but creamier. The mac and brie was cooked perfectly - there was no run of extra cheese and there was a slight crunch from the top of the mac & brie. \n\nWhite Truffle Pomme Puree - I could not taste the white truffle in this dish and ended up just tasting like mashed potatoes to me. I would suggest not to order again. \n\n3. Antelope - Yes, because it was antelope and I thought to myself, \"When am I ever going to eat Antelope?!\" The Antelope surprisingly was not too gamey nor chewy; it had a duck/steak- like consistency. The antelope was coated heavily with pepper which masked the true taste of the antelope. \n\n4. Hudson Valley Duck Breast - I had a taste of the Duck Breast. This was one of the better dishes (compared to the Antelope and the scallops) as the chef maintained the flavor of the duck. The duck breast had a slighty crunchy skin but the juices flowed from the duck meat as you take a bite. The haricot vert on this dish was amazing and should have ordered it as a side. Overall, one of my coworkers described the dish as \"a plethora of flavor\". Each compenent of this dish had something to the table and was good even as standalone. \n\nWhat gave this restaurant 2 stars? \nPoor customer service. First, we were definitely a younger crowd in what appears to be an old - school spot for the locals. We felt like we were treated as such. There was no explanation of specials (if there were any) and no personal touch from the service. They carded us and looked suspiciously long on each id as if we were underage. Second, towards the end of the meal, yes it was getting late but NO need to close the lights on one of the side dining rooms on us. Once they turned that light off, the place was extremely dim and we felt we were being hurried out. Finally, we asked nicely about the smaller plates deal and they sternly told us that they could not accomodate us for a party of 7+ (yes a weird number to come up...not 6+ but 7+). We did have our hearts set out on the smaller plates deal but it didn't seem like they wanted to accommodate us or even suggest splitting into 2 tables.", "Great food in a really quaint and intimate setting. We checked out Krazy Kat's for brunch and really enjoyed it. The total for a really top notch brunch was $47 including tip and for portion size and quality was definitely worth it. \n\nEntering the restaurant is kind of like going into a hobbit hole. You walk down some stairs from the upper parking area then double-back around the corner to a big door. The atmosphere inside is inviting and intimate although very kitschy and over the top at the same time. The high back chairs having a mixture of cheetah print and Victorian design, the lampshades on the sconces have \"frillies\" adorning them. There are big portraits of a cat and dog in regal attire overseeing the main dining room...just a bit odd and over the top...but hey, its Krazy Kat's!\n\nThe food was superb. We started with an heirloom tomato salad with house made saffron mozzarella and a pesto oil. The tomatoes were very flavorful and the cheese was amazing. The greens added quite a kick too.\n\nI had the chorizo omelet as my entree which was stuffed with tomatoes, gouda, spinach, fresh corn (and of course chorizo.) It was stuffed and cooked to perfection - one of the best omelets I've ever had. Accompanying were perfectly cooked potatoes, creamy on the inside but quite crunchy on the outside, and whole grain toast. My wife had the pancakes which were great in regards to flavor but doused with a little too much syrup. So definitely ask for the syrup on the side as they were basically swimming...\n\nI would say, while the service was good and attentive, we were not told of any specials. We're younger so it always annoys me when I see/hear older patrons getting the full treatment from the waitstaff. Either way, we'll definitely be back. A very scenic area and a brunch that's worth a drive.", "Superb food and service. We love escaping to The Inn and eating dinner and brunch at Krazy Kats. The service is always attentive and the food is delicious. The portions are a little big for us, but this is really not a complaint." ]

The local town folk seem to go there all the time too. It always has 4-5 people in it at all times of the day. Also the shop's been there since the 1800's, makes it a little historical tour too.\n\nFantastic Sandwiches and the staff are friendly. They give you these coupons whenever you order a sandwich, get 15 of them and you get 5 dollars off for one sandwich. Also, they've been voted Burlington Counties best place to get sandwiches and hoagies. They are also known for overstuffing their sandwiches.\n\nDefinitely would recommend people getting a sandwich and if you love roasted pork, get the roasted pork with provolone cheese and sweet/hot peppers. If you think a 6\" or 12\" long sub/hoagie is not enough to fill you up, you can grab a side from the refrigerator in the front or the back, ranging from cold redskin potato salad to some pasta salad.\n\n\nAlso the shop's been there since the 1800's, makes it a little historical tour too.", "Awesome deli, family owned and operated.

They also enjoy that they have a Mummer sandwich, South Philly Pork, and a Broad Street Burger - sure it's a little thing, but I love the Philly connection. \n\nI decided to go simple the first time to establish a baseline and got a chicken cheesesteak with fries. It bad at all. I'm definitely interested in going back and casting a wider net there.", "Just went here tonight since hearing the opening was this week! Excited for a new place, we ordered a simple cheesesteak hoagie and wings ( mild and sweet chilli). Both were very good, cheesesteak was tender and hoagie roll was very fresh! Clean place. Secluded area but definitely a gem in warminster!", "In a day when there are so many food places to choose from, I was blown away by the kindness and graciousness of owners Brian and his brother. \n\nGoogle shows them as open through 9pm on Sunday, inaccurately. The guys closed at 8pm, but I stroll in quarter of 9, and they so kindly insisted on making sure I was taken care of and well fed.\n\nMy sub was spectacular... fresh, delicious, and absolutely perfect. \n\nMake sure you try their amazing food... but most of all keep people that truly care and have such passion in their food in business - it's a rarity and incredibly special.", "The food was tastey and fresh. Good Value! Service was a little slow but it's brand new so that's understandable. They were all very pleasant.", "Not in the best location and I was a little hesitant but we ordered from work and I had their sweet chili wings and a tuna wrap. Great tasting food.

I highly recommend this place.", "Fresh made to order delicious food ! !Top quality ingredients ! The staff are super friendly ! The place is clean and comfy! We got a free French bread pizza and it was delicious !!! Definitely coming back !", "This was our first time there, we went for lunch after church. My husband got a cheesesteak with a side of onion rings, while I got a hamburger and fries. Everything was yummy and the best part was the price. We'll definitely be back.

Their pizza steak did not skip on the meat where other places like Slack's Hoagies charge $3.00 extra. \n\nConclusion: So far they're doing it right with good food and pricing. Definitely worth the trip. What will hurt them is the location which is why the previous owner closed. Not a high traffic area and people won't know that they are there. Don't let this stop you.", "Great food. Salad, cheesesteaks, wings were great. Quick delivery. Bread is very fresh. Our new go to.", "None of the food here was better then a school lunch . Even my daughter was not happy with her Mac and cheese which is a first. No one in our group finished there entire meal which wasn't due to the amount of food but more so due to the poor quality. To add insult to injury, 2/3 of us ended up with upset stomachs and multiple trips to the bathroom when we got home. This place is an overall Skip it!" ]

The tamales are very good here too...and if you want one come early because they go FAST! They opened today (Sunday) at 11am and they only had 6 Chile Relleno Tamales left...I bought 3 of them! \n\nWe also got some of our go-to items: ribeye tacos, chicken tacos, shrimp & ribeye sopes. All to die for! To reiterate it appears they started using meats with close to the same quality that they used when they first opened on Benjamin...back when me and a few other veteran yelpers put Lolis on the map and it got crazy busy. Years later I had to drop stars at the Benjamin location because I could tell when they started using ingredients from the big distributors. Restaurants always make that mistake when they become popular and a salesperson shows them how they can save on their bottom line by switching their meat to distributor meat. Hopefully Lolis continues to serve quality meat, but I have no issues with dropping stars if I notice a change in quality.\n\nSo glad they opened in very close proximity to Westchase on Hillsborough! I'm about 7 minutes away and it'll be hard not to stop in for a taco for lunch. This location is a huge improvement from the last location. There were people giving Lolis bad reviews at Benjamin because it was very small so eating in was a bit uncomfortable. This Hillsborough location overcame that with a huge dining area, updated decor and room for lines with a big order counter. The large electronic menu is not only freshly backlit, but displays photos of the food in \"food porn\" style!\n\nThis location is exciting. The food is addictive. The service is friendly. What more can you ask for? As long as try keep it up I'll be a regular!", "Delicious! Same quality of delicious food I crave from their original Benjamin Rd location.. only differences are very positive! Much larger space to order, big dining room, clean, bright. If you are debating what to order- steak tacos!! Wonderful addition to this neighborhood.", "I love the newest incarnation of Loli's Mexican Cravings just as much as the original.\n\nI might even have to say I love the newest version better because there are tons of places to sit. This place is massive compared to the first one. It's bright and shiny since it is new. I have to say, I do love how prominent Yelp is everywhere. There are TV screens that flash positive Yelp reviews (my friend hit me and said isn't that you. I took a photo for proof) and their main screen shows how loved they are on Yelp. \n\nEven though they covered up their grand opening sign and have a sign on the door that says they are in training, they are still open for business! I always go with the lengua, beef tongue, tacos. This time I decided to try two lengua tacos and a lengua sope (can you tell I love lengua). The lengua is always tender and fatty, exactly how I like it. I wasn't a fan of the sope fried tortilla base. It just tasted like bland fried dough to me and if I'm going to eat something fried it has to be worth the calories. I've actually never had sope before, so I really have nothing to compare it to. I always like to branch out and try new things, but next time I will stick to my three lengua tacos on corn tortillas.\n\nEven though the servers are still in training, they were very friendly and efficient. \n\nI was afraid this place would be packed, but its big size ensures that you won't have to wait long! We came at 1 p.m. on a Thursday and there was no wait at all and only a moderate amount of people dining in. \n\nThis is my new go-to lunch spot. Anyone who wants to get lunch with me will have to come here!", "Just as good as the original but with tons of parking and more space! How excited was I to drive by and see cars out front. A quick turn in, to find that they're open!\n\nIf you've been to the original, the menu items are the same and it tastes JUST AS GOOD.", "The chili relleno tamale was the best I have eaten. I used to live in the southwest and miss the food. Yummy", "Love this place great food I can't wait when they have the actual grand opening. Currently in the soft opening phase training their new staff. Looks good so far. The new menu screens and very spacious building makes it an overall better step from their older/other location.", "Amazing food! The tacos were absolutely delicious. The shrimp tacos were crunchy in all of the best ways and the chorizo tacos were so fresh and flavorful. And let me tell you about those Tamales. Out of this world! I have eaten fresh, hand-made tamales in Guatemala and these were definitely comparable. The staff was also very helpful in explaining their menu choices and options. We will definitely be eating here again.", "Very god Mexican place, they do their own tortilla, they were at Benjamin and open a second place \n\nLove tacos al pastor and the tamales \n\nVery friendly , nice place", "I went to try This place because is close to work and I'm on my 3rd visit . Good is really good and great costumer service . Great price too!!!!" ]

[ "I can't believe no one has reviewed this place. The food is very simple and what I imagine the owners grew up eating at home. The Potage de Paris is warm and savory. Salads healthy and interesting. Love the crepes. Baked goods are tops. Sit outside if it is nice.", "We road our bikes here and sat outside with them on the patio. It seemed like we were in France since all the people that worked there had accents. The food tasted authentic and the dessert was probably one of the best I've ever had. We asked for iced tea and dr pepper and they were out of both, sort of disappointing.", "I miss miss miss this place. Now I live in SoCal and can only get great French desserts when I head home to Boise once a year. The desserts taste so good and are beautiful. Boiseans... take advantage!! :)", "Crepes, croissants, eclairs, personalized omelets or frittatas -- there is nothing not to like about this lovely little gem.", "This is a lovely little bistro in a marvelous downtown location. Owned by Mathiew Choux (who was apparently taught the trade by his family who own a restaurant in the Burgundy region of France), Le Café De Paris offers authentic French cuisine in a comfortable down-to-earth atmosphere.\n\nWent there for breakfast and was impressed. They serve a fabulous cup of coffee (they don't officially offer mochas on the menu, just lattes, cappuccino, coffee and espresso--but when I inquired, our waitress was more than happy to whip us up a caramel mocha, which was utterly divine--rich in both coffee and chocolate--beautiful). Though their gorgeous display of pastries was tempting (and I definitely plan a revisit to try!), I ordered their quiche du jour, which was made with spinach, tomato, and goat cheese. The tomatoes were fresh and the goat cheese was flavorful. It was served with a side of roasted potatoes, which were equally delicious. My dining companion ordered their duck eggs Benedict and claimed it was the best eggs Benedict he'd ever been served. He ordered his meal with the fruit compote as a side, and found it a bit sweet for his liking.\n\nThe only perplexing thing was that our coffee took an inordinate amount of time (which I was fine with, as we ordered something not technically on the menu)--but the waitress came out and apologized that it was taking so long as they had to wait for the \"cups to be cleaned,\" which was a little odd (15 minutes to clean two cups?). Other than that, a beautiful dining experience.", "Thoroughly pleasant cafe. Real food, simply but delicious. Desserts are outstanding and the cheese, while limited, is delicious.", "Wondering through Boise's downtown looking for breakfast is such a treat but stumbling upon Le Cafe De Paris was like stumbling upon a little piece of Parisian heaven. You can order a nutella crepe while sitting in the sun, close your eyes and imagine you were right under the Eiffel Tower. The OJ and espresso were both so both fresh and the food had such lovely flavors we were desiring a trip to Paris halfway through our meal.\nlovely place, heavenly food and delightful staff\nLaissez-vous prendre vos repas dehors", "We made reservations for Bastille Day days in advance, and this place was packed when we arrived. We both had the three course meal (off of their menu made specially for the day) with a champagne aperitif, foie gras, filet mignon and chocolate souffle and nearly everything was divine. Neither of us were fans of the souffle, although we couldn't help but admire the effort.\n\nThe foie gras slices were thick and creamy with a slightly smoky flavor, and coupled with the sweet and flaky brioche crouton it was served on top of and the brandied cherries, it reminded me of a high-class Thanksgiving. The Filet mignon was also a generous size and came with potato puree and haricot verts, all with truffle compound butter.\n\nWhen my steak came out medium rare rather than rare, they offered three times to fix it (different waitresses, they were extremely busy). I haven't seen that amount of dedication to creating a perfect dining experience in quite a while, but with the entire meal apart from wine only coming to $35/person I just didn't find it fair to send back a steak that was still delicious. \n\nAll in all, it was far above and beyond what we expected to receive for the price. They make amazing creme brulee that we've come here for as well. If you'd like to try their foie gras then call ahead to see when they'll have it available next as it's not a regular menu item.", "Since I was starving when we happened to come upon this place, I was rather disappointed that the mozzarella and sun-dried tomato focaccia was really small. It would have probably been better as a breakfast item. I think it was made with shredded (pizza) mozzarella rather than whole slices which I expected. Fortunately there were two of us, so we shared sandwiches. I ate the other half of a french dip. It was ok, but I don't love roast beef. The sunlit patio was very nice though.", "I have been going there for about 4 years now and the food is always fresh and service remains consistently good. The owner Matthew is always friendly. In the warmer months I would stop for a cappucino and some quiche or a pastry and take the dog and sit out on the patio they offered to bring him water which was a.nice gesture. I took one of my daughters there for her 18th birthday dinner so she could expand her palate a little that was quite some time ago and now she takes her friends there! Its best to make reservations for dinner but breakfast and to drop by for a quick coffee has always been no problem.we are lucky to have this fine cafe here in Boise strongly suggest you visit if u are in the area and if u are local then make it a regular" ]

Were they trying to say Thai-Satay instead of Thai-Stada? Typical Chinese restaurant. Wei Hong on Grand is sooo much better than this place!", "I admire a place that seems to be able to have different things they can offer you that isn't what you can normally get at any ole chinese restaurant. I adore the fact they have chinese, thai, and curry here as well. It's refreshing to have different choices when your not feeling like having the run of the mill chinese. I do have to say that i love, love, love their orange chicken and their curry. Simply delicious! I also have to give mad props to the staff there. Not only are they etremely helpful every time i go in to get something, but they are knowledgeable as well!", "Among the worst Chinese I've had. The chicken was stringy and low quality, the crab rangoon were the worst of the bland frozen sort. I've had better from Panda Express.", "Chinese name, Chinese dishes (and then some), but would you call this a Chinese restaurant? The food is below mediocre, but as one Yelper had mentioned, their service is excellent. The worker in the front is amazing - she's super friendly and super efficient. I was craving some egg drop soup, and I could have made some better straight out of a package by adding water and an egg. I really want to like this place because they offer catering, some good selections of combo plates, and the location is very convenient for me. However, I don't think I'd come back unless I'm too lazy to drive out to Grand or Olive. BUT, \"A\" for effort!", "What a great restaurant...described by staff as Pan-Asian rather than Chinese with their variety of dishes - curry, mandarin, thai. Their main selling point for me was that all dishes are prepared with fresh vegetables, freshly prepared & not over-cooked (tender crisp); even though I'm not a vegan, I was impressed with their variety of vegan dishes! I had the Mandarin Chicken with Lettuce Wrap and was really impressed...I can't wait to go back to try other dishes! Plus the girl that greeted us was friendly, and super knowledgeable about the dishes they offered - I loved that the place wasn't over-run with high school kids who don't know what they are serving like most fast food joints. The service was quick, the dining room was clean and they had real china and silverware!", "New repeat customer. Truly enjoyed. Plates,silverware. Panda Express no more! Happy.", "I have to say, I find the online ordering really convenient and easy to maneuver. That being said, as many other reviewers pointed out, the service is much better than the food. The girls in front are fast and friendly with your orders. \n\nMy beef lo mein was pretty greasy, and my small chicken fried rice for Tricia was a really small portion. I guess I should thank them for portion control, but the point of getting Chinese is leftovers, right?", "Not good. The beef was so salty you couldn't eat it, the rice wasn't cooked all the way, the chicken was really tough and hard to chew, the crab rangoon was awful, and they forgot half of our order. Definitely wont be back.", "i stopped here about 8pm after seeing Titanic 3D. I have been here several times over the past couple years.\n\nthe food is made to order, so it is always hot! i work in a service industry so i was trying to eat a fast so that i could be done by the time they closed at 8:30p. i felt for the girl behind the counter who got a very familiar look on her face when 3 people walked in at 8:27p. \n\ni ordered the shrimp and vegetable rice dinner. i know the counter girl probably thought i was strange because i was picking out the water chestnuts and celery. the spring rolls were a large. they tasted good with the peanut sauce. \n\ni wish i lived closer because they deliver. i will be back.", "I go here a couple of times, then I forget about it for awhile and come back again many months later. It never is really memorable or outstanding Chinese food. Last night I was picking up a prescription right by there and thought I would pick up something quick. \n\nAll I really wanted was some chicken fried rice and my wife wanted chicken and vegetables with brown rice. They only have white steamed rice and fried rice, no brown. The fried rice is okay, but it kind of looks like just stained white rice. There isn't much flavor and the chicken is a little weird. It tasted better the next day left over though. My current or past experiences have never been bad, but nothing that makes me crave it either.\n\nMy one interesting observation about this place is that the dining room has some style. This is one Chinese restaurant I don't mind dining in, although it is very small. It doesn't have the same decor as all the other Chinese take outs that purchase their accessories at the Walmart of Chinese restaurant supply. It is a more tasteful eastern decor with dim lighting. \n\nI can't say I recommend this place, but I certainly have had much worse experiences at other Chinese restaurants." ]

[ "I have been driving past this little place for weeks now waiting for opening day so I could check it out. Finally, today I realized they opened on Wednesday! I live right down the street here in river ridge and was so excited to have something like this finally come to our neighborhood. I hurried over after work before they closed at 8. When I arrived I was greeted very pleasantly! They have a good selection of wines and a few chilled in the cooler. Which is very nice. \n\nWhen you walk in there are some shirts for sale and a nice array of fry seasonings and spices. The coolers have different types of raw meats and stuffed goodness! I can't wait to try them all. Pre-seasonend and ready to pop in the oven for an easy delicious meal. Though, tonight I did not feel like cooking so I opted to try some of their cooked specials. I chose the fried blackened drum special with Cajun fries. Huge filet and great flavor! I also tried one of each of their regular and stuffed boudin balls. The only suggestion I would have on those would be that I prefer a bit more rice in the stuffing. Also one of the types, I believe the pepper jack stuffed ball, didn't have as much cheese as the perfectly done Gouda stuffed. Lastly I got the traditional meat pie and the crawfish meat pie. Both were awesome! My favorite was the traditional even though it was a tad greasy the flavor was phenomenal!! The staff was beyond friendly and attentive!! I can't wait until they get the ball rolling and see what else they come up with.\n\nOh and next time I'm definitely trying their boiled crawfish!!", "Tried this new place and was very pleasantly surprised. This guy knows how to smoke meat son! Chicken fried steak and dirty rice on Thursdays and the portions are huge. Hope ya'll come when crawfish cornbread is on the menu too. This joint is a winner!", "Stopped in on the way home from grocery shopping and picked up a pound of cracklings and some crawfish boudin balls with jalapeño remoulade...excellent!", "Cajun Style Fare in The Neighborhood : Tres Bon Cajun Meats\n\nYou won't be disappointed at this new place in the neighborhood that features Cajun food only known to the out reaches of the metro area. I had the crawfish pie, crawfish balls, crackling, and boudin sausage. It might be the best I had anywhere else. If not the best it's highly debatable if there might be better elsewhere.", "Mixed results... The pulled pork sliders were really good and very tender. The cracklins are hit and miss. 1st time they were like I used to get in Lafayette. The last 2 times they've been dried out. Also tried a cheese sandwich on French bread wrapped in bacon with corn grits and mac&cheese W/ sausage. The sandwich and mac&cheese taste like smoke. Wasn't really expecting that from either of those. I ate the corner grits... Tried the others and they were both 1 bite and done. She enjoyed the macaroni, but the cheese sandwich went to the dog. Seems like they try to smoke everything. Given the hit and miss of our 3 trips, I don't think we'll be going back anytime soon.", "Tried the boudin, cracklings, meat pie and boudin balls. The boudin was filled with a ton of mushy rice and very little meat. To bad because it was well seasoned. The cracklings were tooth cracking hard and tasted burnt. The meat pie was 70% pie crust and 30% badly seasoned meat. Lastly, I almost threw up when I bit into the boudin ball - mushy gelatin glob of nasty tasting meat. Stay Away!!", "Just ordered lunch from Tre Bon, the burger was on a soft french roll, not a bun or real French bread (no excuse for bad bread in this city) but they served it. They extremely dry overcooked meat was drained onto the soggy bread. Order it dressed, all the dressing was on the side, EVEN THE CHEESE. A cheese burger with 2 oz cheese in a container on the side- cold. Little packs of condiments. I had to toast my bread, add the condiments, warm the meat and cheese, reassemble. I should have brought my own lunch. My co-worker got the brisket sandwich which was dry and he didn't like the sauce. Wasted $25.00", "It's so great to have these guys in the neighborhood. There is a big pit in the front parking lot that seems to always be smoking some meat. \nThey make their own cracklings and they are good. Good fresh cracklings are hard to find in this area of town. They make some great boudin also. \nThey also took second place in the 2016 Crawfish Mambo!!\nI've only had the boudin and cracklings but I can't wait to taste the rest of he menu.", "Out of town company were coming in for a visit in a few weeks. Trying to plan ahead, I stopped in to check out Tres Bon's meat, thinking maybe I would buy something special to grill over the weekend and impress the guests... As you enter, there is a refrigerator-freezer area to the right. There was a nice selection of preseasoned and smoked meats to choose from. I had a hard time deciding between a tenderloin and a brisket. Finally went with the tenderloin. (As an after note, the company thought the tenderloin was great.)\n\nSince it was lunch time, I decided to buy lunch to take home. I wanted some of the brisket since I had bought the tenderloin, but they were sold out. I settled for a pulled pork sandwich pistolette for lunch. Added a side of Dirty rice. I enjoyed the lunch.", "Shrimp and corn chowder was great. Will get that again.\nCracklins are ok but could be better. No flavor. Kinda like bacon.\nI take them home and season them myself. But it wouldnt keep me from buying them again. It seems that the owner needs some kitchen help. His little cashier is sweet and a good helper. But, it looks like he's trying to do it all himself. Shelving for their brand of seasoning too close to the lunch tables. Move them back some.\nMaybe trade places - booths for the shelves." ]

They somehow get a supply of recent hardbacks very cheap, and the older titles are pretty good as well. I've picked up some decent current event and history titles, and trade paperbacks. Last year they had a good paperback mystery section, because my wife sold them hundreds of titles (see picture). The offer price wasn't much, and they didn't offer bookstore credit, but we needed to thin our holdings. Very friendly merchant who also carries a nice array of puzzle books that my kids enjoyed, like sudoko and crosswords.", "Love it!!!!!!! Amazing market, awesome vendor's, highly recommend!!!!", "This giant jewel is hidden beneath a fairly ugly facade, but what lies inside is worth a closer look. There are produce stations, amazing meat from the finest Amish farmers in the land, and wares from shoes to flowers to antiques to jewelry. It's a hodge podge without question, but once you get into the swing of things, you see a method in the madness. Though the hours make regular shopping a little weird, I've gotten accustomed to making a special Friday trip to make my rounds.\n\nI ALWAYS make sure to get center cut pepper bacon, herb & garlic cream cheese, and a sandwich at Albie's. However, you could very feasibly walk out with a disco ball, fried vegetables, nail polish, a tutu, and a dozen inflated helium balloons. \n\nIt's sometimes tough to walk through the aisles when you have a cart, but if you're making a big haul, it's worth the trouble to not tote a basket around. Definitely make a stop in the discount bread shop, and the hot dogs wrapped in pretzel (NOT Auntie Anne's, the one in the back, though I don't know the name). The rotisserie chickens and rib station is unstoppable, and right next to it you can get the best fresh squeezed orange juice I've ever tasted. \n\nI know this is vague and nonsensical sounding, but it's really difficult to describe this maze-like market. Just make the trip for yourself, and you won't be disappointed.", "Fresh food and mega flea market. \n\nFirst I will talk about the food. We got sticky buns and soft pretzels which are baked fresh and were amazing, I am not exaggerating. Also fresh sausage sandwiches. You can def tell the difference with food made direct from farms and the stuff you normally get from a supermarket and I like that. There is a produce and meat market here which we will come back and get some groceries from in the near future. The food was fresh and tasty. \n\nFlea markets aren't really my thing but there was a lot here. Old books, Movies and CD's also furniture, shoe and watch repair, and some sports memorabilia. There is a lot to look at and seems like it will take multiple visits to find every nook.", "The best variety of stores in the area. I like doing business with small business owners and this is paradise. My favorite lunch is Cajun Kate's. The best gumbo and jambalaya outside of New Orleans. Always a stop for me is Tasty Cheeses. The Habenero cheese dip is incredible. The people in the office at Booth's Corner are top rate. Booth's Corner is a must stop anytime I'm in the area!", "It's hard to explain... This place is just amazing! It's like an Amish farmers market and a flea market had a baby. I love it hear!", "Interesting place similar to Zern's near Pottstown but on a smaller scale. Lots of Amish stalls but not all things are from Amish farms. Some of the produce from one produce stall last week was from California. You will find end runs, a shoemaker, bakeries, a nut store, and plenty of places to stop and get a bite to eat. Since it is only open on Friday and Saturday, it is always crowded.", "First time at booth corner and i must say ..i enjoyed myself...both some maple glazed bacon and it was delicious. Next time im going to try the cajun spot.", "This place has everything good. That does not mean it's good for you....but we all need fat, sugar and salt now and then...\n\nThe Market has been around for years and reliably serves a lot of people in the surrounding area. The vendors are mostly local folks. It's very much a dedicated community shopping center and, because of that, I give it five stars.\n\nWhere to start? The FOOD. Many of the vendors are Amish/Mennonite/Brethren, and make food on the premises in this wonderful, homestyle way. Others bring prepared items. Booths abound with all kinds of fresh produce and meats as well as ready to eat items. Just try to resist the smells of things like roasted meats, baked cheese or fresh bread. The prices are very reasonable, less than the supermarkets. The selection is smaller but you shouldn't have a hard time finding something that smells/sounds/looks perfect for a meal. Most customers are regulars, and come for specific items that they know are sold here, and most have a favorite vendor that they patronize (I will admit that I am in love with the candy apples but, for my own self-interest, I will not say where they are). It's always crowded but it's controlled.\n\nLots of amazing, one of a kind things like creamy egg nog and fresh apple cider, as well as prepared food. Some booths have creative snacks, like flavored popcorn and chocolate covered bacon (yes, it IS delicious). The specialty items are much less expensive than they would be at some gift shop, or in a mall.\n\nOn the other hand, there are a lot of unimaginative things for sale, too, like Auntie Annie's pretzels, repackaged popcorn and potato chips, smartphone cases, gloves and pajamas. The thing is, the prices are low. No surprises with the quality of what you're buying.\n\nThe building is old but they do a great job keeping it clean and orderly. The atmosphere is folksy; no putting on airs here. You can spend a good two hours wandering the stalls. They have everything, from food to toys to clothes to hardware to windows to hearing aids to...so much more.\n\nGo with a sense of adventure and keep an open mind. It's a fun place to shop, especially knowing you'll be sure to find something at a great price, and that you're helping a local business owner.", "We stopped at booths corner after our real estate agent told us to check it out. After pulling up to a large warehouse looking building, we were surprised to find all the delights inside.\nIt's very convenient to find anything from fresh pretzels, bakery items, cider, fruits, veggies and meats all in one place.\nSome of the finds are great deals whiles others are not but definitely worth a drop by!" ]

[ "This place doesn't fit in with the rest of St. Louis. The decorations are way out there, well I guess for my tastes. It's a unique place catering to vegeterians. They do have a brunch. I liked how it's such a friendly place; the owner will come talk to you.", "The Shangri La is a great alternative restaurant that caters to vegetarians. A restaurant whose specialty is for, you could say, eaters who have a handicap when it comes to dining. The wait staff is fun and personable and is in no hurry to get you in or out. Like the restaurant, you can go at your own pace and enjoy the eclectic scenery while having a salmon burger with a glass of tea.", "short answer: very disappointing!\n\nI stopped by this restaurant with a bunch of friends when we were passing through St. Louis. I was really excited when I saw their menu - there was so much awesome-sounding vegetarian food that I wanted to try! I remember saying I wished I could eat three meals in a row. Thank god I didn't. I ordered the special baked cheese fries and vegan chili which our server highly recommended. The service was friendly but mostly inattentive. (Come on! There were only two tables!) The food seemed to take around 40 minutes to prepare, which seemed a bit much for a diner - but I was so psyched to try this place I didn't really mind. When it eventually arrived I was disappointed to find that the \"specialty\" baked fries were indubitably Ore-Ida frozen crinkle cut fries, right out of the bag. But much worse was that they were obviously burned to a crisp. Literally blackened. It was the same for everyone at the table. Burned in the sense that I would probably not feed them to my dog if I had one. I'm by no means a restaurant snob or even a very picky guy, but I was still incredulous. But I was equally starving, and made an attempt to eat the less blackened fries. Amazingly, they somehow managed to char the outsides while leaving the insides lukewarm. I turned my attention to the veggie chili which was also less that hot and less than tasty. Out of the 6 of people at our table, only one had a positive experience (he had the seitan reuben). One of my friends suggested that his tuna tasted like cat food. The server did not check on us until it was time to settle the check. She acted surprised to see burned fries left on the plates and offered me a $2 discount. What a joke. The cooks knew they were inedible and so did the server. Not inedible by restaurant snob standards, inedible by regular people standards. I understand that sure, things are gonna get burned once in a while, but for f**k's sake either make it again or apologize and offer something else to the customer. Honestly, I had such a uniquely awful experience at this restaurant that I created a Yelp account just to let people know.", "Started on $4,000 (compared to typical $100K- $1Million) and opened after 2 weeks of start-up... the Shangri La Diner is a bit of a example of Goethe's quote: \"whatever you can dream, begin it. there's genius in being bold.\"\n\nsure, sure. It ain't the ritz. nor the olive garden-- they don't have everything figured out, or a menu suitable to everyones' tastes. But that's the thing: It's not trying to be. It seems Joshua and Rob were expecting something normal,something routinized...\n\nNo, Shangri-la feels a lot more like eating in Patrice's living room--- her adorable, girly 60's california bohemian living room (the pic I took does not do this place justice, not even close!) and trying out her new dishes that she's made with absolute love and care. I can feel her boldness, her improvisation, and her perseverance. It's eccentric and it's lovely.\n\nNow, Patrice admits- she's no trained chef. But that doesn't mean the bbq pulled pork (vegan) sandwich isn't finger licking good. Or that her vegan hostess with the mostess cupcake isn't TO DIE FOR. Of everything she makes, her vegan desserts are not to be missed. They are the best of almost any veg restaurant I've been to in the states, and believe me, I've tried plenty. My meat eating husband was begging for more of the banana walnut cake.\n\nBOTTOM LINE\nIf you're feeling bold, adventurous, or just up for something non-boring- try out Shangri-La. Maybe it'll inspire you to begin something too... If you're in a more \"safe\" mood, stop in for some desserts to go. I'd bet they're pretty delicious to most anyone. And if you're curious, make sure to ask what's vegetarian, what's vegan, and what's fish on the menu...because it has all three & is not always noted.\n\n(If this restaurant was in Chicago, it'd get 4 stars. But seeing as hard as it must've been to start this in St. Louis, i.e. Rob's comments, it gets 5. )", "Listen to me carefully. Go here and order 'the hostess with the mostess' right now. Trust me, you will be so glad that you did. I'm sure that my waistline has grown due to the desserts here. They have wonderful teas and a bottomless cup of coffee as well. Try the pie, you'll be glad that you did. I must admit that I can't remember eating an actual meal here. Not that I haven't intended to. It's just that one I get in here I remember all the wonderful desserts I've had before, and I end up eating sweets for my meal. I won't tell if you won't! If you are trying to stay slim, they have a teensy sundae for I believe a couple of bucks. The original draw of the place was all of the bright colors and the beaded wall hangings. It's so much fun to sit in here and laze the day away. You are going to love it.", "Very best vegetarian BLT EVER!! Seriously...so good. They even shared their secret with how to cook veggie bacon so its actually delicious! Would rather the lady cooking was wearing something other than a tank top but that's really my only complaint.", "Went on a Saturday noon with friends, and there went an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back. The menu looks good, if a bit limited--am I the only one who finds it weird that many of the menu items were playing up the fake meat, rather than featuring the vast array of vegetables that could have been used? Not being a vegetarian, this was something that really stood out. \n\nI had the black bean burrito, which was quite tasty, but very wet. Wrapping it in paper just soaked the tortilla. The quesadilla was quite good...the cheese was mighty fine. I was looking forward to the cheese fries, and they were good, but the cheese sauce was tangy and sweet, which was a bit disconcerting.\n\nService was as close to non-existent as possible. Two or three parties left rather than wait to be seated. We waited about an hour for what would have taken two minutes at any other establishment. I think one of the waiters was coming off a crack high. (Or he was just completely incompetent.) I did not have a Hostess with the Mostess, because my friend got two to go, and they were so poorly wrapped, I knew it would have been a mess once I got home. I did want to like this place. God bless 'em, hire wait staff that knows their asses from their elbows, and you'd have a decent restaurant.", "I was at Shangri La at the same time as Lisa, I thought I saw someone I recognized, but couldn't put two and two together (heck, I'm an engineer, I can solve Fast Fourier Transforms, but can't balance my checkbook without a calculator - go figure). I've _never_ had fast service at Shangri La, but never as poor they describe.\n\n I'm not a Vegan or a Vegetarian - I believe in equal opportunity for ALL forms of protein - sometimes the bloodier the better. Anyway, I had Patrice's Slammin Salmon and I Lllllloooooovvvveeeddd it - I found the service good, my water was kept full, and although not fast by any means, the service is what I expect in a laid back atmosphere. I hope that they can address the apparent aberrations because this is the only veg-rest I think I'll ever call a favorite", "Quirky and fun - that's the best way to describe the Shangri La. No doubt about it, the name of the game here is good food without the attitude. Not quite a diner by definition, the personal attention by owner Patrice is a welcoming experience nonetheless. Not to mention, great playlist for background music!\n\nThe menu is simple, the food delicious, and the ambience refreshing. A lot of the reviewers speak of waiting an unacceptable amount of time, but if you want a wait-on-hand-and-foot place, go try City Diner or Applebee's. We came at 6 o'clock on a Friday and sat right down and ordered.\n\nGo have fun and eat. That is what Shangri La's motto should be. And yes, don't leave without trying the Hostess with the Mostess! I just hope no one outside the neighborhood finds out about the place.", "I was in St Louis visiting family and I was looking for a place I could get some Vegan dinner food and this place sure did fit the bill. The service was great and timely. We walked in and our party was seated right away. Not only was our server friendly but the owner actually stopped by our table to talk with us. The vegan crab cakes were amazing. I was the only vegan/vegetarian in the group and the others really enjoyed their meals as well. This place is a great place to go for vegan/vegetarian dinner food. I didn't try any of the deserts but others in our group did and absolutely loved the cupcakes." ]

[ "Great family owned restaurant in the heart of Carmel's Arts & Design district. Reasonably priced, friendly staff and intimate--only a dozen tables. Try the Penne Putinesca it's spicy and delicious. Though we didn't try Grandma's Italian Cream Cake; mom's Cannoli's were a big thumbs-up!", "What's better than a home-cooked meal? When someone else does the cooking! That's what dinner at Donatello's is like. And for good reason. Donatello's is family owned and operated by mom, dad and son and they cook up grandma's recipes daily. Like grandma's house, it isn't very big, so be sure to make reservations. \n\nMy friend and I started with toasted ravioli, which they call \"a Midwestern take on an Italian comfort dish\". As it turned out, that meant large and filled with a generous amount of creamy cheese served with a homemade red sauce. This is without question the best fried ravioli I've ever had. Period. The rest of our meal didn't disappoint either. I try to dine with people who are willing to share, and my friend was more than willing to comply. We had Tortellini Michelangelo, which is cheese tortellini with mushrooms and bacon in a pink sauce, and Roman Chicken Marsala. There were two things about the tortellini that really stood out. First, it had a wonderful smoky bacon flavor that was prominent but not overpowering. Second, despite the bacon and cream (and butter no doubt!) it was not the least bit greasy. The Marsala was similar to others I have had in the past, but the sauce was a bit thicker and richer and the dish was topped with prosciutto and cheese. My only complaint about this dish was that accompanying potatoes and vegetables were under-seasoned and came across as an afterthought. I'm looking forward to trying more of Donatello's menu, especially dessert. The cream cake looked amazing but shorts season is rapidly approaching so I grudgingly abstained.\n\nDonatello's has only been open since the beginning of the year, and they have a little room for improvement in the service department. Don't get me wrong, they were welcoming and friendly. But there was much rushing around and a little bit of chaos that couldn't be hidden from the customers in the small dining room. However, the food is the shining star here and the minor disorganization does add to the feeling of dinner at grandma's house. (If only my Granny could have cooked like that!)", "Not really impressed. My salad was over dressed & just soggy lettuce with balsamic & olive oil I think...I can't believe they get away with actually charging people money for that. I had the ravioli which was overcooked with some kind of ground meat on the inside with an herb that left a bad spinach aftertaste. The sauce used for the ravioli was also a bit underwhelming..it was just a think marinara that tasted like it was out of a jar. I have no problem with sauce from a jar, but when it's advertised as \"home made\" marinara I'm expecting to taste some oregano or basil...something. But I still had to salt it to give it some kind of flavor other than tomato. Along with my glass of wine I ended up having to pay $20 for a lunch that would have cost me $10 out of the frozen food section at Target. \n\nMaybe because it was lunch so the exec chef wasn't in at the time and had left duties to a line cook, but I wouldn't go back for that. I've heard good things about their dinner so maybe I'll give it another shot.", "Everything was good except the food. Unfortunately, that's a key ingredient for a restaurant. My wife and I really wanted to like it, but everything we got, unfortunately, was pretty far off. We started with bruscetta, and it had very weak tomatoes and very strong onions. My wife got a caesar salad that somehow had a mustardy sort of taste. I got bean soup that was quite a bit sweeter than it should have been. We both got a spaghetti with meat sauce dish that, had too much sweet, no salt, and was overall very bland. We've had better out of a jar at home, and at pretty much any Italian chain.\n\nIn summary, we were disappointed with pretty much everything. We went next store to La Mie Emilie and had a much better desert. Wish we'd went there for dinner too.", "We stopped here while passing through Indianapolis, and what a pleasant surprise. Delicious food, very nice service, and a lovely atmosphere. They brought out parm with the fresh bread, which was awesome. We then had the toasted ravioli appetizer. We were concerned that a breaded ravioli could be too oily, but it was instead a great combination of crunchiness and rich cheese. We're both vegetarians, so we ordered two pasta dishes -- the puttanesca, which was wonderfully fresh-tasting, and a tortellini in a red cream sauce with mushrooms. I'm often not a fan of cream sauces, but this one was different -- complex, not just rich, and the mushrooms were perfectly cooked. We were sad to skip dessert, but we were just too full. Next time.", "Pros- Quaint setting, friendly staff, food is good\n\nCons- Too expensive for what you get, took far too long to receive more bread, boring interior\n\nI feel like Donatello's tries too hard to be fancy and European. The food is ok, but it's not $20 a plate good. Also, no olive oil and cheese with the bread...really?", "I was looking for a place that catered to adults yet, had a truly authentic taste. I just moved to the 'Arts & Design District' here in Carmel in June, 2011! When I walked in, I was quite surprised as to how quaint this place was! It was very alluring to adults and definitely not a place for kids! Then again... that's what I wanted! They had no tv's, again to which, I loved! Just truly authentic Italian food, nice wine selection, Italian music playing and superb, personalized service w/o being overly attentive! I met the owners Patrick & Beth and they were an absolute delight! At the end.. Patrick brought me a piece of his signature Tiramisu! OMG!!!! I wanted that recipe so badly but, not a chance! And I can't blame him! FIVE STARS w/o a dought!! Perfect place for romance and even solo dining! Highly recommend!", "Awful. Just finished dinner and desert. Both couples ordered entrees and bottles of wine. Ordered desert. After desert, asked to order another bottle of wine and was denied. Reason being they needed our table in 6 minutes for a \"last minute reservation.\" Pretty much kicking us out. This is the first time I have ever been denied anything at a restaurant. Service was snarky, mean, and pushy. Never going back.", "Woohoo! As good as it gets about sums it up. My husband and I went to Indiana for the super bowl, and stumbled across this place! Amazing family that owns it, amazing atmosphere, and most of all real, authentic Italian food! It's a must try if you are looking for a wonderful evening.", "Ate there last weekend, food was unbelievable. Problem is you get very little time to enjoy it, the staff nearly tries to shove the food down your throat to move things along. It ruined what could nave been a great dinner" ]

I liked they included avocado and the bread was nice like an authentic torta however, I couldn't taste any chipotle flavor and the chicken was dry and hard around the edges. It's obvious that the chicken was pre-cooked and reheated.. I'm all about second chances, so I would like to give them another try to see how their other items taste. But I gotta admit, (Mexican) tortas paired with wraps and juices/smoothies is a weird combo for a food truck.", "Fresh, healthy and delicious! No matter how you eat, they are great to work with you and make custom items! Great smoothies, wraps and tacos!", "Everything is super fresh and they're always very friendly. Most sauces and even the torta bread are homemade, and everything is made to order. The Jacs wrap is my go-to, but I haven't had anything on the menu that I didn't enjoy. For street food fare, Don Miguel is one of the best in Nashville!", "The Chipotle Chicken Wrap was delicious! Will be back! The Chipotle sauce was just the right texture and heat for this wrap and the chicken was grilled and seasoned beautifully. I definitely want to get this again!", "Super fresh and flavorful. Veggie wrap was well portioned, and filled me up!", "OMG -- this food truck is just what Hendersonville needs! The food is fantastic and--gasp--good for you!\n\nI sought them out on a rainy Wednesday after hearing through their IG that they'd be at the Sumner County YMCA. \n\nI ordered Jac's Wrap and the chicken and mango was so flavorful! Unfortunately, their generator was down so I couldn't try one of their juices. The food was ready really quickly and you can tell it's made with quality ingredients.\n\nI'll definitely be returning to try a juice and other menu items I've seen featured that look delicious.", "This is my favorite place to get a delicious salad and juice! Tell Miguel and his wife run the business I believe, and they always serve their food excellent! They are kind good people, trying to make it in the food industry we should support them. Plus their food is wonderful!", "I've literally never left a review on yelp before but I felt that this place is so worthy of a great review!! I had the Jac's salad and honestly it was the best salad I've had. I also had the K-bomb juice and it was absolutely delicious!! We will definitely be back!!", "Jack's Salad is the best! I am so glad they have a storefront now! I have gotten it to go several times and each time it is made fresh to order and so good!", "Wow. Great food. The all natural selections are awesome! I love the peanut butter protein smoothie. Tasty, smooth, healthy and filling." ]

You can tell the establishment is still trying to get on their feet, but they are doing good so far. They are slowly introducing deals and better happy hour. But I see a lot of good potential for them in the future.", "Yelped this establishment and decided to try it. It is nice on the inside newly remodeled etc. The food was good , I had chicken wings and fries and have nothing bad to say. I am only disappointed that for 8 wings bone in, fries and a soda, fries sold separately (no combos), I paid $18.00. It seems bit overpriced, but nonetheless I paid it. I hope in the future they have better combos offering wings fries and a drink at a better price. Other than that it wasn't bad.", "Went for the first time last Sunday and oh my goodness.....\n\nOne word.... Michelada !!!! They are NOT messing around when they say \"best micheladas in AZ!!\"\nI personally never really cared for micheladas until I stepped foot in this place!!! \n\nService: was great never had a empty glass. \n\nAtmosphere: loud music, sports, and busy! (Must be doing something right huh?)\n\nFood: onions rings were BOMB.. Chicken quesadilla was awesome! The salsa they service was spicy and had great flavor. Brought home grilled steak tacos to my husband and he said they were perfect. \n\nOverall can't wait until I have to work in Tucson next month so I can stop in again.. This is defiantly my new spot.", "The customer service was great..Bartender greeted us right when we came inside she let us know about the lunch specials...The food was very good had some Street Tacos of Carne Asada and Grilled chicken..Ordered Micheladas and they were delicious..They have a variety of specialty drinks at a good price and sounds Delish..Going back very soon..", "I loved this bar. The michelada was the best that I ever had. It was served with Mexican candy and totally hit the spot. The TV's were playing reggaeton videos and it was a great atmosphere.", "Came on a Saturday night. Place was packed. $5 cover just FYI...but easily the cheap drinks will make up for that. Music is good...if you're Mexican American like myself then it'll be all the music you heard at weddings and quinceaneras haha. Drinks are decently priced. Only negative is the ran out of every plata (silver) tequila. Patron, Don Julio, every silver ...I just don't know how you let that happen. That's why I gave it 3 stars. If they didn't run out of tequila it would easily be a 5 star. Because bartenders are nice and helpful...patron bottle margaritas are good. Seating is good if you arrive early...just can't run out of tequila that's an easy mistake to fix. Either way will be back to try it out again.", "I'm being generous giving this place a two, it gets a star because the food was pretty good. Although, really, the nachos came out a little cold. The quesadilla was tasty. So I might remove the star. However, I'll never return to this place because the service was atrocious. When you have to go up to the bar to hunt down indifferent waitresses to ask for a check because you've been waiting 5 minutes, and they never bother to check up on refills for ice tea, there's a problem. When the place isn't full, and it's 6 pm, that's no bueno. When a waitress offers to bring two plates, then walks off and starts standing around and 3 minutes pass, and we have to get up and ask for the plates and she brings them like an after thought, that's lousy. If a place is offering table service and food, the least they can do is offer to point to somewhere to sit. Having to actual flag down a waitress walking right by ignoring the table by tapping them on the arm (as the noise volume is VERY loud) shows a sign of poor service. The only person semi-interested in actually caring wasn't around enough, and I don't know if he was the owner. I get the feeling that in this bar if you aren't ordering drinks, you get shut down, because your bill will be so small and this tip less, and I frankly don't care to come back and eat or try the drinks. I have no doubt this place has seen better service and days and I am very forgiving but there is no excuse for this atrocious service. I was so glad my dad tipped the bare minimum. I would have tipped nothing.\nI forgot that napkins weren't brought as well. That irritates me. So I convinced myself to bring this to 1 star- the one star was for adequate food. Good quesadillas though.", "Perfect place for perfect atmosphere perfect drinks perfect bartender Alonso my new hang out spot", "Hands down the best michelada in Tucson! For a long time, another local restaurant was the spot for a michelada but this one has a perfect mix and topped beautifully with spicy/sweet candies and chamoy. Food is great too and super affordable. Highly recommend the smothered steak burrito. \n\nThe atmosphere is fun. Good music and relaxed atmosphere. Happy hour offerings are awesome and the seating arrangement makes it very comfortable. Whether you want to be surrounded by strangers or secluded a bit for a date, there's a spot for you here.", "This is a nice cool little chill spot located in central part of town right off of 29th and Alvernon; we arrived early to order some drinks and to get some food for dinner.\nThe waitress was very friendly and very attentive.\nThe atmosphere was nice the music was playing and along with the music they were videos playing on the different TV screens.\nThe drinks came out right away and I must say I was extremely impressed the mixture it was great the alcoholic beverages were blended perfectly so it wasn't too over powerful. \nYou definitely pan little bit for the drinks but it is well worth the price you do pay.\nThe food came out rather quickly and I must say everything was delicious we ordered both chicken and steak quesadillas and my cousin's husband order the nachos had we known we would've only order the nachos because it was plenty to go around the whole entire table very filling.\nI look forward to returning and trying their wings because I hear those are delicious" ]

[ "I had combo #1 and my Hubby had Carnites both very good. Service was perfect and I am pretty demanding about good service!", "My wife and I rarely make it out to Hendersonville, and we really didn't know anything about the local eateries... When in doubt, try a new Mexican joint, right?\n\nIn this case, it worked out beautifully. I don't know how long this restaurant has been around, but we were extremely happy with our experience here.. \n\nThe restaurant is located in a strip mall, so from the outside it is tough to know what to expect. When you walk in, however, it is a very nice place. They put lots of thought and effort into decorating and design... which is not something I usually pay much attention to, but in this case I was very much impressed. There was artwork on the walls in the form of murals and paintings, which looked authentic to my untrained eye. Everything down to the chairs had a beautiful flowing design. My one and only semi-negative observation: The bucket - style chairs just barely fit me (being a larger guy), and a truly big person might have a lot of trouble fitting in them at all. \n\nThe food was no disappointment, either. We typically have a couple of key items that have to be good on a Mexican restaurant menu... Chips and salsa, for starters. The salsa was fresh and very good, maybe a touch hot for some people but perfect for us. Fresh hot chips. My wife had a taco salad, which she reported as incredible. And I had my favorite, Carnitas; these were among the best I've had. The pork was tender and very flavorful. Whole jalapeno peppers and freshly sliced avocado were on my plate along with rice and beans. GREAT!\n\nThe common complaint I hear with Mexican restaurants is that they all serve the same stuff, and this is pretty much true... but some do it SO much better than the rest, and this place ranks pretty high up there in my book. And prices were pretty well on par with the average casual Mexican place.\n\nAll in all a great place we discovered completely by accident... we may very well be making the hour drive to Hendersonville in the near future to try it again!", "I love Mexican food and his place has lots of it!! The staff is also very helpful and nice and oh yes the food is awesome!", "Great place! I love coming here for Mexican food. The service is friendly and fast.", "High quality food and margaritas. Always great service! This is my favorite Mexican restaurant, period!", "Food always terrific. Haven't been disappointed one single time. Service is good, but can see room for improvement when you find your waiter watching a game on TV rather than taking care of his guests. This doesn't happen much,but think management can crack down on the staff a bit. Most all servers I've encountered were very friendly and not distracted. Will be back! The Enchiladas are the best I've had at any Mexican restaurant.", "My husband likes their food more than I do. The chimichanga is good and the lunch portions are huge. The nachos get soggy quickly but most places do if you don't eat them really fast. I wish more mexican restaurants had better chips and salsa, more flavorful, I mean. This is no exception, but it is better than some mexican restaurants I have been to but most in the area are the same, give and take a few.", "my first impression upon arriving was that it was a typical strip mall Mexican joint. Wow was I surprised. Great flavors with quick service. I would eat here again if I am ever in town again", "This is one of my (and my wife) favorite restaurants in the Hendersonville area (or Nashville for that matter). We will usually go in the evening and split the Nachos Supremos (I think that's the one haha). It is $10 and fills us both up, and with drinks, we can get out of there after tip for $16 for 2 people. The service is always good, the food is very consistent, and the chips and salsa are very good as well. Oh... and the margaritas... pitcher anyone?", "Caveat: I am from Southern California. I eat Mexican food almost daily. Since my husband and I are considering moving to the Nashville area, we decided to try out some Mexican restaurants. Our first night here, we tried casa viejo. I ordered the carnitas dinner and my husband had a combo with a tamale, taco and chile rellano. My husband was impressed with his meal. I liked the chips and refried beans. My carnitas were way too salty...if there was less salt/seasoning, I would have been impressed. Service was fast and friendly. We would return!" ]

[ "I had high hopes for this casual eatery. I love Mexican food, and have tasted my way around various Mexican restaurants in the area. This place was the worst I have ever seen. I ordered a Carnitas torta, and instead of getting soft, delicate meat, I got charred squares of pork-like charcoal. The sandwich bread was good (but not made in house), and the sandwich did not come with Avocado as advertised. It lacked sauce and seasoning. \n\nI decided to order chips on the side with pico with my take out order. They put a very small amount of pico right on top of the chips, just enough to turn the chips soft in the short journey home. I have never seen anyone else do that before. \n\nWhile waiting for my food I observed the staff to be uninformed (but they had just opened, so they get a bit of a slide with this one). I also thought they were a touch rude. \n\nI was also disappointed with the sanitary conditions I observed. Food was being stored in chaffing trays on the floor, and I saw an open-bag of store-bought tortillas laying on the ground. I also saw staff handling non-cooked food without gloves. \n\nEven though this place is only 2 blocks from my home, I will not be back. Hopefully El Limon, set to open any day, will meet Ambler's need for a Mexican restaurant.", "My girlfriend and I recently ate here. We shared nachos, a steak taco, a chicken taco, and a steak burrito. For starters, I actually ordered a carnitas burrito but I had already eaten half of it when I realized we got a steak taco and pork burriro, not the other way around. Oh well. The steak was decent. A little overcooked. It came with rice, black beans, etc inside. The overall flavor was a little bland. It wasn't any better than what you can have a 16 year old make you at Chipotle. The tacos were very mediocre. They were literally just chicken and steak with a little cilantro on top. No queso fresco, tomatoes, pico, guac, etc. They were extremely bland, with very little spice. The nachos were pretty good, though I'm not certain how \"authentic\" it is to top them with nacho cheese, and for $9 I can get the same thing in a more comfortable sit-down restaurant. Speaking of the prices, this is probably the most expensive taqueria in the world. The tacos are cheap, but $13 for a quesadilla? $14 for fish tacos? Get real.\n\nIf you're in the mood, spend a few bucks more and go to Cantina Feliz or Tamarindos, or even drive 10 minutes to Plymouth Meeting and go to the rooftop taco truck at Whole Foods (3 tacos for $6, and they actually have flavor). I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.", "Went there just after they opened with my roomate. I ordered the steak taco, carnitas taco, and the spicy pork burrito. The spicy prok was tasty and that's about the only nice thing i can say.... The steak tasted tough and bland, the burrito itself had things in it not listed on the menu (i do not like lettuce inside my burrito small thing i know). The main offender was the carnitas. I am a sucker for carnitas, i love me some carnitas. If they are on the menu i have to get them. The first thing that struck me as odd was the cube shaped pork on my taco as opposed to the pulled delcousness that is my usual love, but since i had already ordered and paid for it (with a down cc system which seemed shady) why not? This pork was like the worst offense when i screw up in the kitchen, let alone at an \"authentic\" mexican joint. It was dry, flavorless, and chewy. I wont be heading back which makes me sad as i love me some mexican, I am just holding out hope for El Limon.", "I really wanted to like this place. I have it two tries before reviewing - first last week and then this week. Last week I got three tacos. I thought they were well priced and was looking forward to the variety of meats: one each of carnitas (pork) al pernil (marinated spiced pork) and one chorizo (spicy Mexican sausage). I didn't mind waiting 15 min for the tacos and happily took them home to eat. \n\nWell, it was very disappointing. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the three meats. All were gray chunks with little flavor. I think I could distinguish the chorizo but there was almost no spice. The tortillas were very disappointing too -- so soggy that they wrapped each taco in two tortillas since one was broken through each. The salsas were good, if a little generic. \n\nThe second visit we tried to get the fish tacos (my favorite) but they were out of fish. I was a little irritated at the lady taking my order who said I should have called ahead -- I DID call ahead, attempting to get takeout, but after 12 minutes on hold gave up and drove in to order. I stead I got the sandwich -- cemitas poblanos. It was ok but all the flavors were muddled and hard to distinguish. \n\nI wouldn't say it was bad, but it definitely wasn't something I'd seek out again. \n\nAmbler is a small town blessed with a range of wonderful culinary choices. I was hoping El Jefe would add a lovely little taqueria to that list, but in my opinion you're better off elsewhere.", "Like the other posters, I really wanted to like this place. I stopped in to give it a try the day they opened and all I could think was the owner needs to go to El Limon and see how this is supposed to be done (I had been to the one in Conshy and the one in Ambler just opened). First, I only ordered three tacos and was the only one in the restuarant. They must have prepared 5 takeout meals before mine, as it took almost 15 minutes to get the tacos. When the food arrived, the tacos were dry and bland. And even the provided sauces did little to help, as they had minimal flavor as well. I really think any of the local burrito chains are offering up much better quality food than this place. It's too bad really, as I was hoping for another good resaturant in Ambler. If things don't change quick, they won't be around long.", "Great Service, kind and courteous and if you aren't sure what to try they will let you know what to get to suit your palate. Also offered to make vegetarian!\nI tried the nachos and was plentiful to share, Delicious!!", "I actually like this place much better than El Limon. Though I do think they are a little expensive, my burrito here was much better, more delicious, and came with a side of pico. This burrito also didn't fall apart on my plate as it did at El Limon. I hope this place sticks around, because they are much better!", "Had three tacos from El Jefe.. carne asada, chorizo and carnitas tacos. Accompanied by cucumber, and radishes. The meats were lightly seasoned, there was no salsa or sauce provided with the tacos. These are adequate tacos but not the type that make me want to run back for.", "Stopped in for take out. Could not believe the place wasn't packed. So happy with the food. Was fresh and not greasy. I have tried both places in ambler and while I hate to compare them I did think this was the better of the 2 by far. I would like to see them make it and they will be getting my repeat business for sure based upon service and fabulous food. We had the nachos, el pastor quesadilla, chicken taco and a steak taco-all very good. Will be spreading the word to my friends.", "I guess a number of the reviewers haven't been to an authentic place. \nFirst, the tortillas aren't fresh - they are out of a bag. I don't pay premium prices (even if not overly expensive, easy to spend 15-20 for two) for cheap tortillas. \n\nIt is true that one cannot expect the typical commercial toppings (i.e. lettuce, tomato, and so on). They are very plain, which is the classic way, and they do have accompanying bottles of nice salsa.\n\nBut here is what really upset me. They have tamale specials on the weekend. I had two last week and loved them. Very authentic! And at 1.50 each, just as I remember...true Mexican peasant food (and I mean that in the nicest way).\n\n So today Saturday at noon, I made a special trip for tamales. Unfortunately, I had already forked over money to Ambler's parking meters (so offensive) when I walked in, and the sign was there - tamales.\n\nSo, surprise when I ordered and the girl said she didn't have any. Oh, they did have the other \"special\" all ready - all $12.00 of it. You had to get three of whatever it was, and I didn't want to spend that much for a taste. It's also annoying - but common - that one has to get THREE fish tacos. Now, my husband (not a fish eater) agreed to eat one last time, so I could get them. But, if you are alone, you are out of luck unless you want to eat three and spend $11.00. Plus tax. Plus drink.\n\nYou could argue that I should have called, but I do expect that at noon on a weekend that some place will have their advertised weekend items available.\n\nSo I had to leave without eating.\n\nMy husband thought the steak taco was very mediocre last time. Totally plain, NOTHING except two packaged tortillas (double wrapped) and a small portion of just-okay chewy meat.\n\nWe thought the tacos at El Limon were a bit tastier, but so sad they don't have tamales. More about that in another review." ]

[ "Best NY style pizza in Tampa Bay area, and strombolis are great too. Ultra fresh ingredients, and Rick and the staff are always friendly.", "When you're hungry enough to order a pizza delivered, you usually want that pizza to hit the spot. This one missed. Though mercifully scant in amount, the sausage has a distinct \"off\" flavor. Being scant though, it was easy enough to eat around it :)\nThe cheese was good and seemed of high quality. The bread was okay. The delivery took an hour. Not the NY Style Pizza I was expecting.", "I think they make the most authentic NY Pizza in Florida. It's also better than most of the Pizza I've had in the 44 years that I lived in NY and NJ.", "I give it 4 stars because the pizza is incredible, however the cannoli tasted terrible! I have not had anything else other than pizza and a cannoli so I am only rating that for food. \n\nThe service was unique to say the least. I stopped there on a whim so I did not pre order. I ordered my food and the man taking my order was very nice. While I waited for my pizza all the workers came out of the kitchen to watch the tv in the dinning area and had conversations that were inappropriate to say the least. It made the wait very uncomfortable. \n\nI recommend the food but I would call ahead so there is no wait or have it delivered.", "My family of four hit this place about once a week, sometimes TWO if I can make it happen. Rick is a card and we enjoy chatting with him when he is there. It's a super casual place - still haven't figured out the killer surfer dude statue hovering over the place, but it does give it a certain flair.\n\nPizza - WONDERFUL! I really like sun-dried tomatoes and he happened to have some the first couple of times we went. Not a standard ingredient for him though. So he said I could always bring my own and he would throw them on my pizza.\n\nWings - We LOVE his wings. Basic, but large and very yummy and he does something to give them an amazing crispiness that I'm totally addicted to.\n\nCalzone - Can you say BIGGER than your HEAD??? We were so stuffed.\n\nIn fact...... I'm going to start my subliminal maneuvers within my family to get there tonight.......", "I loved the pizza! The crust was nice and crunchy and had the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. The antipasti salad also hit the spot and I loved the vinaigrette, it didn't have a in-your-face bite that a lot of bite that most vinaigrettes have. I loved the garlic knots, but some of then did not have enough seasoning. The calzone was HUGE! It was bigger then my face! The crust on that was nice and golden and was filled to the brim with very good cheese, although, I did not like the ricotta in it because it was bland. All together, I loved the pizza but fell short on the seasoning of the garlic knots. I did like them, but the others in my group called them \"just baked balls of dough\".", "I had the small almond cranberry salad and it was super good, the dressing was tangy and the feta cheese very creamy and the chicken was grilled and flavorful. I'm a picky eater about chicken, but this was awesome! They also packed a ton into the small salad so it's enough without being too small! This order was takeout and I was getting soda in cans for someone and accidentally dropped one and the guy at the register let me get another one even though I offered to pay, and that was very cool of him to do that. I highly recommend this place!", "There is only one way determine if a place has great pizza. How's that, you ask? Get their cheese pizza, all pizzas start out a cheese pizza and the you add other toppings. No frills.\n\nI got a half-cheese-half-pepperoni. I wish I went whole cheese. The crust is amazing and has the taste of garlic, which is AMAZING! I mean after my first slice I thought we were on our way to a 5-star reviews. \n\nThen I had a pepperoni slice, and I was disappointed. I really can't explain it, when cheese is this good it's usually enhanced by pepperoni. This was not the case. Maybe the cheese was just THAT good. As I said I really can't explain it.\n\nUpdate: Had to drop them from 4-stars to 2-star. The last 2 times I got delivery it took over an hour and the final time the pizza was cold. As good as there pizza may be it wasn't very good cold. Also they are the only delivery place that can't find my apartment.", "Every time we visit we have to get some pizza from this place. Great crust and flavor. But the real treat is if you call a head they can make you some home-made Civolata Sausage. (if you don't know what this is it is Italian sausage in a \"pin-wheel\" that has cheese, parsley, fennel and mild spices). A real treat. Best to grill on BBQ and serve with peppers and onions! YUM!", "We've been waiting an hour and a half for pizza. which turned into 2+ hours and the owner actually hung up on me. we called back to cancel the cc which we had paid as we originally ordered and he fought with us. The worst experience ever!" ]

She came and took our order right away but the food didn't show up for an hour later and its not like the place was crowded. When we arrived about ten mins before happy hour was over, asked for a cocktail on the happy hour menu and then was told they sold out. How is that even possible. But when we switch to regular drinks all of a sudden the happy hour specials were available. I asked about the kale caesar salad and was told it doesn't even have kale..Really?? So I ordered it any way but it never arrived but some how still showed on my bill. Lastly when the bill was paid The waitress decided to include her tip on her own. Not cool. Had to get the manager to fix. overall its a nice restaurant just need for staff to put in extra effort", "Shrimp and grits were a huge portion and tasted good, just too much sauce for my liking. Service was really slow and they were unattentive.", "Derrick and E has been amazing!!! We stayed at the adjoining hotel and these two individuals were the epitome of customer service! Everything was fresh and delicious! They made sure we were comfortable and satisfied at all times!!! I appreciate them! Tackle Bar they are the best! The charred oysters are to die even BETTER than Dragos! Try them guys you will not regret it", "We stayed at the hotel connected to this est establishment and the service was amazing! The charbroiled oysters and beignets were to die for! Derrick and E provided the best service, will go again!", "Beautiful setting and friendly staff that offered to charge my son's phone while we ate. Our party of 3 ordered Garlic Parmesan Oysters which were a hit. We also tried their shrimp poboy, a burger and the grilled white fish. Everything was great except the grilled fish was a tad overdone. I would def return for cocktails and oysters when I'm in the NOLA area again.", "Was our first visit to Tackle Box with a group of five\nothers. We were very excited to try the raw oyster platter. Loved their their wall decor of various oyster shells from all around the world. My friend also ordered the oyster platter. Serious about our oysters.\nWe were so happy, well, until we had our first bite. Now, granted, I've enjoyed briny oysters from East coast, West coast, London, Paris and never tasted oysters before that had no flavor... I mean, these oysters were missing that briny goodness. We agreed that these were the blandest oysters that we had ever eaten anywhere.\n- Texture: fine. \n- Temperature: good, cold\n- Flavor: non existent : (\n- Size: plump, medium sized. Good.\nMy friend, from Vermont, was equally disappointed at the lack of flavor. Service was pleasant enough. In summary, it was a less than fulfilling experience and will not be returning to Tackle Box for their raw oyster platter.", "Had trouble finding as it is not on google maps as this name. It is under their parent company but I'm glad we tracked it down. We were sat right away and when asked to be moved they were more than happy. I had a Bloody Mary that was good. Also had the smothered fries. Now THAT was a dish to write home about! Crispy Shoestring fries with bacon, cheese and a delicious white gravy that was SO GOOD!! Hubby had a fries seafood combo that had catfish, shrimp, oysters, gator bites, crawfish hush puppies and fries. I stole all the oysters and they were plump and delish!!! The catfish was perfection! Fried crispy and SO flavorful. Wish I had more now! The rest was super good too and will definitely visit here again! Gave 4 stars as the prices were just okay and they don't have tarter sauce.", "Great service and very good food! Husband and son ordered the southern fried chicken and the chicken and wafffles ...both excellent. The thin fried catfish is a little different, but tasty, although some may prefer a more meatier fish. Just overall cool, laid back modern atmosphere.", "This place was right around the corner from the hotel I was staying. We wondered in for dinner. The place is nicely decorated with chandeliers and leather chairs at the bar. Our server was excellent. The menu was diverse enough to please our group including my picky mother. Would definitely be back." ]

Colonial also cooks seafood, but I've never tried any. Prices are reasonable and the staff are super friendly. Worth a trip if you're in the area!", "My family and I order from here a lot.

There chicken Cheese steaks are the best. There \"Small\" is equal to other people's \"Large\".

Their menu has so many items on it and you can order online! www.colonialkitchenpizza.com I put this here because googling it took me a while to find it. Delivery is pretty quick.

Fast Delivery & Online Ordering! What more can you ask for!", "awesome food, awesome staff and great prices. I highly recommend colonial kitchen to all the locals and out of towners", "I swear these folks make that food with all of the love in the world...I've never had pizza so good that it made me want to run out into the street and yell to the neighborhood about it. I, sinfully, had their chicken bbq pizza and mild wings one night. Guess what, it was so tasty that I went back the next night and had the chicken cheese steak and bbq wings AND shamefully patroned the third night in a row for the 5 cheese pizza and more wings....WOW!!! I've never eaten somewhere three nights in a row. Not only is there food exceptional but the service was quick and they were friendly to myself and others from the neighborhood that I observed. When I am back in the Philly area, I will definitely frequent Colonial Kitchen again. Oh, and add a Root Beer to your order....ppppppperfection!", "I really hope the food is good, because when I just placed a delivery order over the phone, the woman was SO RUDE. When I asked about salad sizes, she said they're \"all the same\" and actually sighed as if I was annoying her. I would have canceled the order, but I was sending food to my friend who just had a baby. The woman was impatient and actually hung up on me when I was trying to say thank you at the end of the phone call. RUDE RUDE RUDE. Will definitely not do business with them again!!!!!" ]

If you drive a pick up, chew tobacco or think a mullet is cool then you might like this place.", "Large, cheap slices of pizza! The pizza was yummy and the garden salad was okay (what I would expect from a small pizza joint). They change their special slices every day so you can always get something different.", "this place was awesome, great staff excellent pizza, totally groovy atmoshphere...a little crowded inside but well worth it", "I would give the staff a 5, the business hours a 5, yet unfortunately the pizza is only a 2! There is never enough sauce or quality ingredients on the pizza. This pizza doesn't even come close in quality when compared to the likes of Tony's, Guidos, Flat Bread or Chicago Connection (which are all right down the street from Pie Hole). If you are looking for a pizza joint at 2 am, this is your only choice, but if you're chasing for good pizza during the normal hours of a day, then look elsewhere.", "Good NYC style pie. Nice combos like jalepeno and pineapple or tatter and bacon. Better than guidos and super friendly staff.", "Best pizza in Boise. Lulu's and Guido's are next. Perfect proportions of sauce, cheese and topping. Only negatives...wish they had nice salads like Lulu's and Brick Oven Bistro and a drive up for carryout...8th Street parking is brutal.", "It's a college pizza joint. You'll be surprised by the taste. If there's not a party where you're eating it, there will be one in your mouth! \n\nBut here's the catch, do everything in your power to get your hands on fresh pizza, even if that means ordering a full pie, because during the summer flies might get to the pay by the slices before you do....\n\nEither than that, one of the guys that works there, has one of the coolest longest beards I've ever seen!", "I really did not like the place the people that worked there was not very helpfull pizza was not that good. I have been to New York a few times and had pizza there this does not do it justice. I have no problem with the size of the place some of the best things come in small packages but this is not one of them.", "My favorite pizza in Boise. Don't go for looks, go for taste. I find them to be very true to the Italian ethos of pizza which is rare here. (Yes, I have been to Boise's top-rated). Not pretentious. You won't likely find exotic toppings here like, elk, say, or whatever other lofty topping is \"trending\" in the upscale pizza kitchens. But you will find rather common Italian choices like potatoes which is unusual for a place that looks like it serves the college student market (and it mostly does). But don't hold the seemingly dive-y interior against them (for us, it doesn't even matter b/c we get our slices to go); when it comes to quality -- the crust and the authenticity of taste -- this is a winner, of course provided that you select a slice from a fresh pie. Plus it's pizza a taglio. Now if only it was by weight instead of pre-cut slices, so that one could get as many small pieces as one's heart desired. I will keep hoping." ]

I have since given up. I stopped buying pancakes from IHOP because frankly, between their batter and how they are cooked they just aren't very good. This particulat time I ordered a BLT sandwich. When it arrived the bacon was undercooked (something IHOP loves to do apparently) and the sandwich was a wet, limp mess. The problem was that the lettuce was washed then applied to the sandwich wet. Anyone who has ever has a piece of wet toast knows how that sucks. U ad the waitress take it back and they replaced the toast (since it was falling apart) but put the same wet lettuce back on with the undercooked bacon. I mean: making bacon and cooking a good pancake isn't rocket science- except at IHOP.

That speed comes in handy, too, because the lines wrap around the parking lot at lunchtime. \n\nCrunchy, juicy chicken on a buttery bun with melty cheese. Good Lord, it is 9 in the morning and I want Chick-Fil-A now.", "Delicious. And like others said, some of the most welcoming and kindest staff and managers ever. Very refreshing for a fast food place to get that kind of treatment.", "Excellent service. Great food and good prices. Particularly good is George who walks around the restaurant to make sure everyone is happy. I have eaten at many Chick-fil-a restaurants, but Downingtown is the very best of the best .", "While the food may be delicious and the service impeccable, there are three major factors that people seem to be missing here. The first being cost.\n\nWithin the last few years, the prices have grown in leaps answer bounds. When this location opened up, the price of the chicken sandwich has gone from about $2.09 upwards of $3.09 per sandwich. For a 12 piece nuggets value meal is well over $7.00. These prices are too savvy for someone on a budget, someone that wants more than just a sandwich, but doesn't waste the equivalent of a half tank of gas for a meal.\n\nThe second thing people are not looking at is the drive thru. On a good day, during the first few minutes of lunch, you could easily wait for more than 8 minutes to get through the line. It's even worse when the high school across the street, Bishop Shanahan, is in session. Kids from the high school go through the drive thru to get lunch. As far as I am concerned, the students shouldn't even be leaving school grounds while class is in session.\n\nThe third and final thing is this. The crowd inside the restaurant. During a normal lunch, including the kids from the high school included, you can't even move through the place with a tray without running the risk of having it knocked out of your hands by kids running around or people that are just plain rude.\n\nIf you want food, go cook yourself.", "I wish I could give a higher rating, because the service here is excellent. My orders have always been correct, and the staff are polite. However, I simply don't care for their grilled chicken options due to the unappealing seasoning, and the waffle fries tend to be soggy. The rest of the menu might be better, but I can't try it because of my dietary restrictions.", "Their customer service is right on! Very nice , helpful staff that go way above the normal fast food help. Food was the usual Chick-fil-A good.", "I had never actually tried chick fil a before and just had my first sandwich. I must say now I know why so many people love it. The staff was awesome and the place was very clean. The waffle fries were very good too.", "I'm not a giant fast food fan, but Chick-fil-A is a one in a while treat. The service is tops for fast food, the food is pretty good, drinks are quickly refilled with no hassle, and you get everything served hot. I am friends with a person who used to work for BK and he always complained about how he could never compete with CFA for quality, meal prep, etc. \n\nI had to knock down a star because the parking lot is insane pretty much all the time - with people backing up onto Lancaster ave and if one wants to sit inside, no matter what time of day, there will be 10 million people in there with you.", "We always have a good experience at ChickFilA. Polite service and yummy food--it's a win-win! My fave place when I'm in the mood for a chicken sandwich, hands down.", "I can only echo the positive remarks, this place is great.

Very fresh and a nice level of spices. Very authentic. The menu had Chihuahua's favorites and some exciting new options. The decor and ambiance...well you have to see it, its incredible. Reminds me of some restaurants I have visited in Mexico. If you go around grand opening time, be patient. Everyone in the area has been anxiously awaiting his opening and I suspect they will be packed for awhile. Still, I promise it will be worth the wait.", "This place is really cool. The food is delicious and the decor and atmosphere is excellent. They went all out on this place with a tequila tasting room and everything. I got the enchiladas especial and every one was delicious. The cheese dips and margaritas were also excellent. I will definitely be back.", "This is a really nice place with an awesome gift shop. I went there on opening day and there was a DJ playing good music. The food is good and the service is good but the fajitas do not come with a plate of rice, beans, lettuce, cheese, Pico, sour cream & guacamole like other restaurants. This is a deal breaker because fajitas are not right without those things. I would have given it 5 stars otherwise because it is a really cool place.", "Have been so excited waiting for the opening. Didn't mind the 45 minute wait. Until we were walked to our table and saw half the restaurant was empty. It was explained to us that they were only seating a certain amount of people at a time so the kitchen wouldn't get overwhelmed as many of the cooks were new. Wait...what? Ok...more excitement that our food will be amazing then right? No. Half the chips on the tostada app had barely any cheese on them. The beans were spread so thin you could barely taste them. And some of the chips were burned. The Santa Fe Chimi had no bean in it as menu said it would. It was soggy. The side of beans and rice were very small portioned. Half of my boy friends beans and rice that he had to order extra with his burrito because they didn't come with it. We have eaten at Chihuahua's many times. And always loved it. This experience was very disappointing as this restaurant has so many amazing things and a great atmosphere.", "Went there in afternoon so they were not busy. Beautiful decorated restaurant that is nice to have in the area. Got the happy hour margarita and it was very good. Food was good and portion size just right. Service was also excellent and other servers even asked how everything was. I will be back.", "Let me start with the place is beautiful. Staff and servers were great! Beautiful gift shop to browse through or buy while you wait. The patio looks like it'll be amazing during the summer months. \n\nOk...so for the food... honestly it was ehhh. I'm Mexican....so any Mexican place I try...I start with the basics. Tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, rice, beans, etc. If you can't do the basics...well it's just that... the basics. ALL was BLAND. The best I could do was add salt. \n\nLet me add that a few days ago I had the stomach flu and all I wanted was soup. I saw that this place was open and had my fiance go pick me up some Caldo de res (beef soup) like my mama makes. I gotta tell you you it was close. Almost but not quite like Doña Aída makes but very good. Which is why I was so excited to try this place in person!\n\nSad to say I was disappointed. Left the place with half the food left on my plate. The beef taco and beef tostada shells were pre-made (like you would buy off the shelf at Schnucks) and the beef had no seasoning at all. The beef enchilada was dry as well. Rice and beans were ok. \n\nI'm willing to give this place another try because their soup was great, the people were great and the ambiance was beautiful. It was suggested that I try a few other things on the menu so I'll definitely post an update when that happens. Til then I'll unfortunately have to give it 2 stars for now.", "Went on Saturday night...Wow busy! We were able to find a table to set at and wait. The Bartender Emily who was great came over immediately. She took our drink order making us an incredible Top Shelf Margaritas, also bringing us Chips & Salsa to snack on while we waited. Alberto the manager a great guy came by and escorted us to our table. \nThen we met our waitress Mickey who did an awesome job making sure our needs were met. The food we had was very hot and tasty. As were finishing our meal, Eric who was part of management team checked on us, he was very personable and a great asset to the Casa Juarez team. I Highly recommend the Restaurant for Great Mexican Cuisine, however get there early or wait at bar area and chill. We spoke to Ryan who was clearing our dishes. Very accommodating during the process, making sure to ask if there anything else he could do.\nThe atmosphere was fun & energetic, also they had many big tables to handle large groups. \nWe will be back....however next time bringing our friends!!\nAs we were walking out the Manager Alberto thanked us for coming, saying he hoped to see us again soon.", "Imagine your five year old said she wanted to make dinner. But she's not tall enough to reach the spice shelf or the seasoning rack. That's Casa Juarez...bland Mexican food (a seemingly oxymoron).\n\nFirst the chips and salsa. The salsa was watery. No taste to it except tomatoes. Even looking at it appeared to have no spices or seasonings.\n\nSo, we ordered guacamole to go with our chips. Also no seasoning...just mashed avocado. \n\nMy tacos..which had chorizo, were also missing any flavor. Who has ever heard of super mild chorizo? By definition, chorizo means a well-seasoned sausage! The taco salad my table mate ordered was definitely off-the-wall weird. Grilled peppers and onions, but little lettuce. Also, reported as weak without much taste to it. \n\nIt was coined by our table as \"Taco Tuesday at the Senior Center\" -- you know how bland and unspicy the food they serve at nursing homes and senior centers can be. \n\nThey get one star for decor and the gift shop. \n\nThere are plenty of good and a few great Mexican restaurants in this part of St Louis County. Do your self a favor (or flavor) and avoid this one.", "NOLP! This place is new to my neighborhood and I was VERY disappointed. FYI we went on Saturday and it was BUSY! \n\nSERVICE- Went on a Wednesday so it was not busy but for some reason it took 15 minutes to get water. After which we did receive cold chips (they tasted store bought- you want tasty chips go on the other side of Dorsett) \nFOOD- you should probably take the Salmon off the menu- especially if you overcooked it TWICE- and the minced/sporadic crab meat and shrimp that was in my husbands enchilada was pretty pathetic! \n\nCUSTOMER SERVICE- After the waitress asked how was the food and they recooked it twice (Salmon tasted like I was eating STEAK- you should not need a knife for Salmon), the manager came and told me he would package up something else and give me a dessert- after 30 minutes of waiting (I am still waiting) he never resurfaced (I hope he is ok) - \n\nHopefully the drinks are phenomenal because if not- based on the bland, overcooked food, and horrible customer service this place will not be around long!", "Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was pretty good. Our food order was messed up but I lend that to it being opening night. I've been back and it was better. In the end I really like this place. I think they can improve but they're off to a good start!!" ]

[ "This Panera is different because it has the easiest Panera drive thru. This restaurant and the entire building it's in was just built, and designed fron scratch, so the drive thru is not just an afterthought. The VU 21st Avenue Panera drive thru was an awkward add-on and there is sometimes gridlock there. The fresh crew here at this Belle Meade Panera are fast on their feet and the line moves quickly. As with many Paneras the breakfast time and lunchtime lines can be long but when the chicken salad or soup in a bread bowl is ready you know what you're getting. Panera food is about the same at all their restaurants. I like the Brueggers alternative across the street for their bagels. Also some of the sandwiches at Brueggers are better bite buys.", "I was anticipating the grand opening of this Panera location because I am resident in the Hillwood area, so it is convenient to my home and they have great parking. The service was good and I was assisted by the manager, Vandra. She was very kind and promptly greeted me when I entered the store. Because it's still brand new, it is still very clean and organized. I had a great first experience and would recommend this Panera location.", "Worst Panera I've ever been to!!! I'm a Panera Bread lover, so when I heard they were opening one right down the street from me I was pretty excited. Excitement has now turned to disappointment after the 2 god-awful experiences I have had there since it's opening! I went about 2 weeks ago through their drive-thru and I ordered a pick 2 with the Turkey Avocado BLT and a Chicken Caesar Salad (as is, nothing complicated). I wanted a baquett as my side and they said they were out of baquetts. You're Panera Bread, how are you out of bread!?!?!? I have never heard of such. So then I proceed to the window to get my order and the girl asks me again what I ordered. Apparently they had made me a Chicken Caesar Sandwich instead of salad. Why would I have a pick 2 with 2 different sandwiches!? That doesn't even make sense. So after waiting forever, they assure me they have included my salad and also gave me the Chicken Caesar Sandwich they accidentally made me. So I drive off but decide to check my order before I leave the parking lot and realize they didnt give me any dressing for my salad. So then I have to go back around and get in line again to get dressing. Finally I get home to eat my dinner, and I open up my salad to realize they put TURKEY on a CHICKEN Caesar Salad! I couldn't believe it. So then I figure I'll just eat the Chicken Caesar Sandwich they included instead. But I couldn't eat that either because the sandwich was DRENCHED in MAYO (which isn't even supposed to be on that sandwich) and the chicken on it was PINK!!! Wtf. Even my Turkey Avocado BLT was drenched in mayo, and it only had ONE strip of bacon on it. It looked like a disgusting mess! It was basically a $15 meal wasted! \n\nSo I wasn't planning on going back, but today I remembered I had a free bagel on my Panera card that I've been needing to use. I decide to give this Panera another chance...surely they can't screw up a simple bagel order! Wrong. The lady I encountered at the window today could not figure out how to swipe a Panera card! She got extremely rude the moment I handed her my card and told her I had a free bagel offer I'd like to use. She immediately got flustered and started yelling repeatedly that my card was \"not processing.\" A minute later she hands me back my cards and food and says, \"Sorry about that,\" so I assume she figured out what the problem was, but then I look at my receipt and see that I still got charged for the bagel. So then I said, \"It doesn't look like it took off the bagel?\" And she gets real nasty and says, \"Yeah I told you your card could not be processed!\" This is all quite odd, seeing as how I go to other Panera breads all the time and have NEVER had any issue with my Panera card. Sounds like user error to me. Oh and I got home to realize they gave me the wrong cream cheese with my bagel LOL. Why am I not surprised.\n\nBasically to sum it all up, I will not be going back to this Panera, and I recommend you do the same if you would like to save yourself the annoyance and hassle of getting a simple meal. You'd think sandwich making isn't rocket science, but these people need at least a year to figure it out. There's a great Panera Bread on 21st Street across from Vanderbilt that always gets it right, go there instead. The staff is friendly, the service is speedy, and the food is made perfectly!", "If you like Panera and think one has really been needed over on this side of town, you are in luck. There is one here now. It even has a drive thru if you are into that sort of thing.\n\nAlways a bit pricey, but they don't mess around for the most part with the portions.\n\nI have no doubt that I'll be here again.", "It just opened, and they are doing a great job. I have been through the drive-thru twice, and it has been quick and accurate. The girl who took my order the first time sort of struggled, but the place is new, so the employees are, too! Cut them some slack for a month or two, people. \n\nI am glad there are more drive-thru food options on this side of town!", "Overpriced for small quantities of barely decent food. Guess I'm not a soccer mom.", "It's a Panera Bread, and it's great as far as Panera Breads go. But the winning factor? It's closer to my house than the one in Green Hills, and it has a DRIVE-THRU! I love drive-thrus! I don't have to waste time finding a parking spot and grabbing my purse and keys and walking inside and all of that fun stuff. I can just get what I came for and be gone. Yay!", "It's not terrible, but the staff definitely does not enjoy working there and there is just a kind of negative vibe behind the counter (unlike the nearby starbucks). It may be because they don't pay their staff very well, so there isn't very much emphasis on customer service or attention to detail. It's not a bad place to go if there's nowhere else, but expect for them to get something wrong with your order.", "I don't usually do chain restaurants, but I stopped in here for a quick bite after church. The food is really yummy and the portions are just right for the price. The staff was super friendly and helpful. If you live on the west side give it a shot!", "The standards of this location need to improve. Here are some of the things we have come to expect from this location:\n\n1. They don't have the ingredients to make a sandwich or salad.\n2. They put the wrong ingredients on a sandwich or salad.\n3. They don't prepare salads like other locations, for example leaving whole strips of bacon uncut.\n4. Forgetting side items.\n5. Drive through service is slow.\n6. Delivering incorrect beverages at the drive through window.\n\nHowever...\n\nService is always friendly... We're glad they're in the neighborhood, and consider their being here an improvement. We do want them to succeed. But we can't keep spending money here until we know we're going to get a consistent product." ]

Still, I've had a lot of pho in my life and it is very good here, even if just a bit smaller than average.\n\nStarting with the atmosphere, they seriously cleaned this place up. While it is a bit cozy, all signs that it used to be a quick cheesesteak place are long gone. I'm not sure if they take reservations, but if they do I recommend one as it seemed to fill up quick on both of my visits.\n\nFood quality is great. You can pick your protein in a variety of their offerings which is cool. The shrimp summer rolls were tasty and had plenty of shrimp. The beef pho had everything I was looking for and a good mix of flavors. I spiced it up a bit, but feel free to dig in as is.\n\nService is still coming along. I don't think they expected to be so busy so quick. I'm sure they will work out those minor details and I look forward to watching them grow!", "This small pho place right in the heart of Manayunk is a perfect spot to grab some hot soup on a cold day. With large portions and lots of vegetarian options it's easy to find something for everyone here. I'm a sucker for boba and was thrilled to see it on the menu. The noodles were average, but I really enjoyed the beef broth. The staff were all super attentive and the service was speedy. Would happily return to Main Street Pho.", "I was really anticipating the opening of a pho restaurant on Main Street and finally tried it out on a chilly rainy day. The menu is extensive and offers a variety of appetizers, bobas and main dishes. I like that you can choose to create your own pho down to the broth, protein and noodles. I got a beef broth pho w rice noodles and pork wontons. The broth was decently flavorful, but what disappointed me was the noodles tasted rather plain; like they hadn't taken on any flavor from the broth. They also stuck together and seemed to take over the bowl - usually I'm not one to complain about too much noodles but it made it a little difficult to eat! The wontons were delicious and really soaked up the broth well. Service was speedy and the servers were all attentive and friendly. Would give it another try again soon.", "Everything is excellent here, from the rolls to the pho without forgetting the friendly atmosphere. We went there on a weekday and were warmly greeted, the beef pho is excellent and they do not skimp on the meat. Definitely a neighborhood favorite!!", "Like most people who live in Manayunk, I've been waiting for a Pho restaurant to open up. Sometimes traveling to China town or to Washington Ave to hit up the usual suspects is a little too far and a hassle on its own. But thank god, we finally have a spot in our little town that's walkable and delicious.\n\nI'm hoping Main Street Pho starts delivering soon. :-)", "The service here was great. The food came quickly. We came in hungry and left out stuffed. We ordered pork dumplings, crispy spring rolls for starters and got shrimp pho as our main meal. We also got an order of the fried bananas and they were great. I'm so happy Manayunk has a pho spot now! Will definitely go back soon!", "Finally a Vietnamese restaurant in Manayunk! Came for the grand opening and the service is fast and the food is on-point. Delicious steak and flavorful brisket pho - the broth is good and ingredients are fresh. My girlfriend (who is Vietnamese :) ordered the pork chop vermicelli - and we both felt that was flavored well! She did note that fish sauce was watered down compared to what is traditionally served. We also got bubble tea - which she really enjoyed , and the Vietnamese coffee, which I felt lacked some sweetness but was overall good. Will definitely be back here again ! We also really enjoyed the shrimp summer rolls.", "A Vietnamese BYOB with vegetarian options?! HALLELUJAH!! This place is exactly what Manayunk needs! The space is small but cozy and totally worth the wait for a table during busy hours! The food comes out quick, hot, and fresh! The pho broth is delicious! I see myself dining in or taking out on the regular :)", "As I was visiting family in Philadelphia, I was craving some Pho. I looked this place up on Google and so far it was really good. They're new to the strip of eateries and prices are not bad either!! They do have a last seating at 8:30pm which is reasonable and they offer take outs. They have BOBA here as well. The chef personally came out and delivered all of our food to us. He's is a very nice and kind gentleman and my family had nothing but good things to say about this place. It is a small place so I'm sure it can get crowded in here during lunch and dinner peak hours. We experienced all great things here so whenever I'm in town, I'll gladly come and dine in again. Thank you for the delicious food!", "Limited menu, super hot inside, no offer of larger or smaller portions, service is slow. Probably better as a takeout place. room for improvement \n\nFood is ok, and price is very reasonable. \nThey take credit card." ]

I also had the Kashmiri chai and it tasted like nothing I've ever had before--it's a blend of the typical chai spices plus some secret ingredients that Liza, the owner, promised me not to share! The decor is warm and inviting and Liza is very nice and clearly passionate about her new creperie. I live in University City ad rarely come to South Philly, but I will definitely be returning many more times. A great new addition to neighborhood!", "Best Crepes in the City!\n\nGlobal Crepes is one of the best new eateries in South Philly. Its a tiny corner spot right near Pat's and Geno's and has a great selection of sweet or savory crepes and a ton of unique coffees, teas, and other beverages. The owner and chef, Liza, is really charming and sweet and makes a damn good crepe! Prices are also extremely reasonable especially when you compare to the outrageous cost of cheese steak and fries just a half block away.\n\nCan't recommend this place enough!\n\nAlso...just writing this review is making me crave another crepe....an \"Out to pasture\" with bacon just can't be beat!", "This place was great! I went for the first time a few days ago and I got a Rose-Vanilla Milkshake. It was so good, I'm salivating thinking about it right now. Really delicious and creative flavor combos (ROSE Milkshake - woah!) . My friend got a coffee/salted caramel milkshake without the salted caramel (so, just coffee) and she loved it. While we were there, the next customer ordered a \"Fancy Ham\" savory crepe and it smelled so good - wow! We are definitely going back here , a lot more times.", "Amazing! Delicious crepes, great atmosphere, so glad this finally made it to the neighborhood!", "I wasn't sure what to expect here as all previous reviews were all five star and all made by people with few reviews...but Global Crepes is well deserving of five stars and I very much enjoyed my Out to Pasture crepe, bf's chicken tikka masala crepe and mango lassi that I sampled, as well as a delicious shake I had myself made with cookie butter. The crepe dough itself is certainly on par with what you'd find in France, or at other excellent places like Cafe L'Aube which I believe is now defunct (?) The woman who owns the joint was working with an Indian guy who is perhaps the force behind the number of Indian items on the menu, including a saag crepe besides the tikka masala and lassi already mentioned (they also have different flavors of lassi). Indian food lends itself quite well to crepes I find--I hope they add a few more choices to the menu along those lines.\n\nPrices are very reasonable, but I will say the crepes are a bit small. If you're very hungry you may want two of them if you're not also getting a substantial lassi or shake. The store is also very tiny. I would imagine that they will eventually be quite busy and peak times. We went at 4 in the afternoon so we more or less had the whole place to ourselves. But I don't think it even seats more than 8 people or so.\n\nThere was NOT a cheesesteak crepe on the menu and I'm so glad there was not. I hope it will always be this way.\n\nOverall a unique and welcome addition to Passyunk area dining.", "Read about this place on Foobooz , have been hungry for a good crepe and they were AWESOME!! It is a very small neighborhood spot, just a few spots to sit. We had the Black Forest and another with grand marnier and marscapone, homemade whipped cream, YUM!!! The owner is very friendly and let us know we could hook up our phone to her system and play our own music. This is a great little spot for sweet or savory crepes. I was too stuffed to have anything else, but there is an interesting menu of teas/coffees and of course, shakes. This is a must try spot.", "Great addition to the neighborhood, the crepes are comparable to those I've had in France! \n\nThe menu is super creative, which definitely beats out the menus of other crepe places in Philly. I tried the Banananutella crepe (I desperately needed chocolate), but definitely plan to try either the Out To Pasture--her most popular--or the vegan Indian option Lisa, the owner, mentioned. Lisa is also super sweet and genuinely passionate about her business, which makes it that much more of a great experience! Only recommendation I have is breakfast crepes, I'm not sure if those were on the menu, but definitely some of the best crepes there are!\n\nSuper glad this place finally opened and I can't wait to go back!", "So happy to discover this small cute sunny local place! The best hot chocolate and crepes I have tried in Philly! And Liz, the owner, is so great!", "Savory, sweet, unique or traditional. I had the Out To Pasture; a crepe with fig, goat cheese, and walnuts, my sugar loving band of guy friends enjoyed their s'more crepe, bacon and cream cheese crepe, and Nutella covered waffles. The place is small, it seats about 9 people total, but it's very cute, colorful, and pick up is available. The restaurant is owned and run by a very hospitable Indian and American couple. As a result their Indian inspired crepes, as well as the plethora of amazing teas that include Chia, and Tia tea served hot or cold. I can't wait to go back!", "Stopped in for dessert after dinner at Khmer Kitchen, best decision ever. They have a lot of unique options to choose from and offer alot of options for creating your own custom crepe. We went with the La Colombiana (bananas, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, & dulce de leche) and the Natxo Vitoria (dark chocolate, saffron, & orange zest). Both were delicious, but the La Colombiana was just amazing. I also had the Kashmiri Chai, my new favorite discovery, it's unlike anything I've ever had. The bf got the Housemade Nutella Hot Chocolate, which was super rich and extra hazelnutty--so good! We will definitely be returning, but with empty stomachs to try their savory crepes and shakes!" ]

Fried for me was the only manageable way to go. I will be fair and tell you I went with three others and the got their \"grub\" on. They left satisfied, of course I was paying. Why does food always taste better when someone else pays? Back to what I was saying the bill floored me! 4 people $78 before tip. OK, if I would have loved it i wouldn't have balked.

It was totally undercooked, not just \nal dente, UNDERCOOKED!! I had to chew it to eat it. It was also flavorless once again, despite telling me it had mild CAJUN SPICES. My husband and I lived in Louisiana for almost 6 years during Military service and trust me, it wasn't mild, it was NONE!

Pho Lai hits the spot and rivals several of my favorite haunts in VN. Beef and chicken pho broth are wonderful and served with all the fresh accoutrements one should expect with this food of the gods. Reasonable prices too.

So we chose the crunchy rolls instead those were pretty good.\n\nWhen our combo came out I asked about the rice and he said it doesn't come with it but in the menu it states that it does. Also the chicken combo was some weird mixed dish that reminded me more of a Mexican dish than Vietnamese dish. It looked like nothing in their realist pictures they had in the menu and it had cilantro and jalapeños thrown all over the top.\n\nThis was in fact way over priced for the portions that was given. The price does match the sushi though, those were pretty big and you got 8 slices on a platter.", "Give pho a chance! I saw this place come in a couple of years ago and have been wanting to try it. When I walked in one of the owners greeted me and sat me, and made a couple of suggestions. I got the plainer chicken udon and an order of samosas. I ended up ordering a second order of udon to take home for my mother.\n\nI'll definitely be back. For two meals I paid $20, which I think is perfectly reasonable.\n\nThe food was plain (And she said it would be) but you can ask for additional sauces, and there's some spicier options on the menu. The samosas were fresh and crispy, and my udon piping hot when it came out. The chicken broth in particular was delicious, with healthy slices of chicken and perfectly cooked noodles.\n\nI plan on bringing my friends here. It deserves more business!" ]

Definitely not the place to go if you're looking for healthy options but everyday is cheat day with me so that's not a big deal. This is a family owned business and the excellent service they provide only elevates the customer experience they provide. Also this is a carry-out and drive through only restaurant, so no space for dining in. Give them a try as they're an excellent addition to the neighborhood!", "I visited them last night - The first person I encountered was Ms Roz - she was very friendly - I ordered the shrimp/ chicken/fish combo. Everything was seasoned and breaded and fried to perfection. I was expecting to get a side included but I had to pay extra for the fries - that was OK though - I will definitely return to get their food - This place is worth checking out.", "So disappointed! I spent $15, so I can try a few items. I ordered Peach Cobbler, Shrimp Po Boy, lemon pepper wings with cheese fries. Here we go- Peach Cobbler-needs sugar. It was tart and had more of a savory taste vs sweet and delicious. Lemon Pepper wings- saturated in a butter sauce(yuck) and the lemon pepper wings had a sweet taste.... Nothing like the lemon pepper seasoning I'm used to eating. Finally, I the Shrimp Po Boy...it was the most edible out of the group. But the hoagie bread would have been better if it was toasted. Unfortunately, I won't be back.", "Walked in to a real nice guy with an amazing smile and a sense of humor as I asked about the shrimp. Is it hand battered shrimp I ask and the promise to please was made. Needless to say I am NOT disappointed. I'm sticking with Big Jays from now on. See the pics.", "Honestly, they hook you up here! Amazing portions, and quality to boot. Inexpensive, but the taste doesn't show it! The various po-boys are the deals. You should definitely try it, especially with there really only being fast food joints in this (their) area. I will continue to go back.", "Big Jay's did not disappoint! The jumbo shrimp to the chicken sandwich was awesome! Hush puppies had just the right amount of sweetness. The fired okra was nice and crunchy not greasy that can over take over fried foods sometimes.", "This place makes me wish I could move back home. My parents and I tried it and we loved it. My parents have already gone back twice. Great customer service and they give you huge portions. The shrimp and hush puppies are my favorite.", "Great food at a little neighborhood joint. Customer service was excellent. The man taking my order was not overly friendly but had just enough customer service to make you feel welcome, smiled, assisted me with my choice, and thanked me for coming. I ordered the shrimp dinner, which I think was $13 for 10 shrimp and fries. I initially thought, hmmmm seems a little pricey, but I'm always one to give it a try to see if it's worth it and it was. The shrimp were HOT, GREAT and HUGE!! Slightly more breaking then I'm used to, but very tasty. Only mention it because the container the cocktail sauce comes in is to small to dip, had to take a bite first then dip. Compared to some other chain restaurants Big Jays is a better value and better quality. You may want to call ahead because you will have a little wait, but no longer then if you sat down and ordered in at a restaurant. Oh and the price was definitely a good deal because it was enough food to make 2 meals.", "Big Jays has only one thing that needs to change, I wish they had a big inside place with tables! The food is incredible! The catfish is my favorite but I love the okra and ... be still my stomach ... the potato salad is the bomb! We go here at least twice a week. EVERYTHING I have ever ordered comes out fresh and yummy. Today shrimp may just be my new favorite!", "Awe man big jays is the place to eat when you dont feel like cooking and want some amazing seafood! The fish was awesome and the shrimp is to die for!!\nI recommended to all my co-workers that work at all-star dodge and they are hooked!\nCant wait to get back down there and get my grub on!" ]

[ "I happened to be in Philadelphia on their opening night. Lucky me. The place has such a wonderful comfortble vibe. The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. I enjoyed it so much that I am making The Mildred my new go to place when I'm in town. I absolutely recommend it.", "As my friend and I entered the restaurant, we were welcomed by two young ladies in black and white gingham shirts. We immediately felt welcomed to a warm and welcoming environment. We took a seat at the bar which comforted us in generous bar stools of leather. We began with martini's generously poured by our gracious and knowledgable bartender. We ordered the Mildred Salad, chicken and dumplings, and scallops and mac - n - cheese, The salad was good; however, the chicken and dumplings tasted like thanksgiving at grandmom's. The scallops were delicate and thoughtfully prepared. Now let's get to that mac - n- cheese. With a sprinkle of cardamon, this mac-n-cheese brought dinner and dessert to a happy marriage. We had a gorgeous glass of red wine with dinner as recommended by the bartender. We could not have asked for more from this new neighborhood restaurant in Bella Vista. Long live Mildred's!", "Creative internationally trained duo, everything is a new adventure, well done, delicious, perfect portions. Will be top dining spot.", "This restaurant inspired me to open a yelp account because I needed others to know how fabulous this place is! (clearly new to yelp because I thought I was writing a review and wrote a tip instead) \n\nI love this place in pretty much every aspect. The bar is gorgeous! Love the wood and the beer taps are unlike many I have seen. Very classy. Yes, classy beer taps. I realize what I am saying. \n\nWe started with the Mac and Cheese, chicken and dumplings and mackerel. The mackerel was my favorite. Very simple in design but an explosion of taste. Only bummer was my husband ordered it and he ate most of it. \n\nFor dinner I had the quail and my husband had the short rib. We were kind enough to give each other one taste and then we didn't share after that. The quail was outstanding. Sitting in lentils and beets and stuffed. A chef I am not so not quite sure how he accomplished what he did but it was real good. \n\nFinally the desserts. I have to say the salted Carmel chocolate cake was so good it overshadowed the other dessert. Next time we are ordering two so we don't have to share! I encourage you to do the same. \n\nI am already looking forward to my next visit...", "Big disappointment! The food was distinctly average, which for above average prices and very limited decor doesn't bode well for the future of this newly opened restaurant.\n\nGranted that they may still be ironing out a few problems, but waiting 30+ minutes between courses, having to beg for a bread plate and cutlery, plus a snarky server who didn't want to listen to who ordered what didn't help the situation. \n\nFor appetizers , the pig trotter, veal terrine and salad were horrible. The only dish worth eating was the celery root soup (which was pretty good and well presented). For entrees we tried the Bratwurst, Scallops, Blade of Beef, and Short Rib with Pasta. Not one of them was better than average, and certainly didn't make any of us sit up and say 'wow\". I also wouldn't call four Lima beans a salad. \n\nWe ordered 3 chocolate cakes and a caramel apple pie for dessert to cover eight of us. Again, nothing special - and the sides of ice cream and caramel were very very small.\n\nTwo special notes. First, the bartender is very friendly and willing to make drinks up on the spot for you. Second, being in South Philly, parking is all on the street and very limited (no valet) so be prepared to drive on the hunt for a space.\n\nTotal cost per couple, with a few drinks, was $130.\n\nBottom line. Very disappointing and we won't be back.", "I do not dole out one stars. In fact, i have only ever given one one star before for a used car dealership. That being said, I really put off writing this review. I wanted to like this place, badly. But, overall, it was just a big disappointment. My girlfriend and I went opening night. I was impressed with the wine and beer selection. I did not pay much attention to the cocktails that were featured, but they looked good when the table next to us. But, the excitement ended at the bar. We asked the waitress what the chef's specialties were as I had read a ton about him from what he did at Talulas Garden and he was supposed to be pretty good. She recommended an appetizer and the bouillabaisse. I do not remember the name of the app, but it should have been called \"meat on plate\". Legitimately, it was a slice of uncooked meat with aioli and capers randomly sprinkled on top making it look like melted cheese on pavement. It tasted better than it looked, if you could get over the poor presentation. However, it was still bland and nothing special. Next came the bouillabaisse. Now I have to say, I am a bit of a bouillabaisse fanatic, and I know good bouillabaisse. This dish is all about the broth. The broth should be so good that you want to order more bread and lick the bottom of the bowl. This broth tasted like chicken broth. It was plain, bland and not anything like what it was supposed to taste. On top of that, there was maybe five little neck clams and mussels in the dish. The only \"big\" piece of seafood was a monkfish. I understand that monkfish can stand on its own in flavor, but this was also bland. For about $30 per person for that dish it lacked substance and was severely disappointing. Potentially the worst part of the evening was when our waitress sent over the chef when she saw we had not enjoyed the food. This guy came at us fangs beared. He asked us what could be improved about the dish. I suggested, \"more seafood\". The chef badically rolled his eyes at me then went into a rant about how he is classically trained and that is how it was cooked, blah blah blah. I may have gone a step too far when I suggested that I had better bouillabaisse at Legal Seafood (which is true). He retorted that he would not know as he had never been. I honestly hope this guy does not eat his own cooking every night, because it would be soo boring. He then told us he would take the dish off the bill. However, when we got the check the $60 bouillabaisse was still there. At this point in the evening, I was already in such a bad mood I just paid and left.\n\nOverall, I will not go back. The food was tasteless and plain and way over priced. Skip this place, and try another. I promise you it's not worth it.", "I have no idea what those 1 & 2 star guys are talking about. This place is fantastic. Haters, man. \n\nMy husband and I went last night and sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly without being annoyingly attentive. You can tell he's been at this a while--he pours a good drink, a healthy glass of wine and a good beer. \n\nWe ordered a handful things off the bar menu. The grilled squid was great. We basically order grilled squid or octopus off any menu we see it on, so we've had our fair share. This was the perfect combination of charred and chewy without being over or under cooked. The fennel and radishes were a great compliment as was the watercress salad. The bartender talked us into the pig trotters and potato confit, which was facified pulled pork in potato cups. This was banging. The presentation looked like bone marrow and if there were twice as many in the serving, I wouldn't have been mad at them. We also had the rabbit and ricotta meatballs with housemade sourdough biscuits. The meatballs were delicious and there were plenty of them. The gravy I wanted to swim in, but had to be satisfied with letting the biscuits do it instead. Maybe I wanted to lick the bowl. So what? Oh, and I also sampled a friend's order of squash tortellini with roasted fall vegetables and I'm not a vegetarian, but I would order it. \n\nOverall, this was a great experience and I can't wait to go back. I wish we lived in the neighborhood so we could spend all winter at the cozy fireplace nook in the bar.", "My husband and I had such a wonderful experience at dinner, that I vowed to write a Yelp review to negate all the low star comments.\n First the space is warm and inviting. They've done an amazing job converting this place from James restaurant. For a Friday night there was a reasonable noise level. We did not have to shout to hear each other or strain to hear over the background music. Look forward to coming back to the bar, for good food and conversation with friends. \n Second the service was friendly and attentive. Our waitress, Adrian, and the bus girl never let our water or cocktail glasses get close to empty. They both often checked in. And when they discovered we were celebrating a special occasion, congratulated us and then left us a lovely note with our check. \n Finally the food was delicious. We started with the Mildred salad and pan roasted scallops. The sauce for the scallops was creamy heaven. I was glad to have some leftover bread to scrape up the remnants. For our entrees we had the bratwurst and the braised rib of beef. The bratwurst surprisingly came wrapped in braided pretzel. Perfect balance of salt and spice. The braised beef melts in your mouth. Unfortunately since we ate every bite of our starters and entrees, we had no room for dessert. Definitely will return to sample. \n\nOverall looking forward to making The Mildred a regular neighborhood spot.", "A wonderful addition to the neighborhood. I ate at the bar, so a more informed review will come later, but, I thought the Mildred was a great new spot. The bartender was super friendly and our food was delicious. Can't wait to head back and sit at a table!", "Went on a Friday night with friends. The ambiance and staff were great. The drinks were superb and the desert was top notch. We sampled some dishes from the bar menu and to be honest they had great potential but were a bit bland. So close to being amazing but missing something, which I am guessing would be spices??? I really hope that maybe it was just an off night, I really want to love this place. Not to mention I live only a few blocks away & would love it to become a frequent weekend spot. Overall I enjoyed myself and I am hoping the next time I go that the food will have a bit more zing & zest!!!" ]

[ "Awesome Deli comes into town with awesome choices of hoagies and sandwiches! Great for breakfast n lunch! My favorite is always Christie's wrap and Spicy Buffalo Special Hoagie!!", "I love this deli! Great food, great prices, and great people! There are lots of specials and the quality is high across the board. And they serve the best cup of coffee on Spring Garden!", "Great place for a quick lunch! I had the chicken pesto panini and it was tasty! Staff is very friendly too!", "A must try. Finally, a deli in the area that serves quality food! The grilled chicken pesto panini amazing. And they have Boar's Head! So happy they opened.", "This is the best sandwich shop in the area with the best customer service. All Board Head meats and cheeses, so no fillers or gmo's like the other brands, just quality stuff. I've had a different sandwich every time I've gone in and it's always done right, not skimpy at all, and all at really great prices which is good for a student on a budget. They make everything fresh and right on the spot when you order, and to top it all off, the owners are genuinely nice people and want you to make sure you enjoy what you ordered unlike most other spots in Philly! Also, they do different specials everyday, and are all homemade. Try this place once and I guarantee you will be hooked...\nP.S. I'm a food snob", "Great deli for any type of sandwich you are looking for. The normally have delicious specials in addition to the regular menu. The owners are an extremely nice couple who care about their customers and their business. I highly recommend Christies!!", "Great place to stop for a sandwich or a snack if your in the area. Don't let the tinted windows fool you they are open.", "After getting up at the crack of dawn to go vote, I stopped in here briefly on the way to grab some much-needed coffee and a breakfast wrap. The coffee is La Colombe and $1.5, which I think is probably the best option for coffee within a few blocks' radius. \n\nI took the sandwich to go and ate it when I got to my office. It was one of the best-valued/best quality breakfast wraps I've had in Philly. For $4.99, I got to select the type of wrap (spinach, in this case), and it was filled with generous amounts of freshly made eggs, thick-cut bacon, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. I elected to add some hot sauce and to substitute American cheese with cheddar, and it was delicious! The wrap is lightly toasted to seal. It was delicious and filling. I could only eat a half for breakfast, and then ate the remaining half at lunch. \n\nThey also have simpler breakfast sandwiches for an even better value. I would definitely like to try their regular sandwiches. They use high quality Boar's Head deli meats for all the sandwiches. They also have some tasty-sounding salads, an eclectic assortment of drinks and snacks (they have Kinder snacks!!), and the service is very friendly. This place will definitely be the first to spring to mind if I ever have to stock up on sandwiches for an apocalypse. Or to simply grab a good sandwich.", "This is the best deli in Fairmount. They use Boar's Head meats and cheeses. Everyday they have a new special with an Asian twist. The spicy chicken salad sandwich is an everyday sandwich that is to die for. On Thursday's they have an amazing spicy meatball sandwich. \n\nI eat here twice a week, every time it is a pleasant experience and I haven't ever had a bad meal.\n\nThe owners are extremely friendly and very welcoming.\n\nHighly recommend Christie's Deli for your next lunch, dinner or snack.", "Christie's Deli is an Art Museum gem with great specialty sandwiches and lunch specials. The owners greet each and every customer with a smile! The deli meats are fresh made by Boars Head. They offer many combinations of sandwiches, smoothies, and groceries. They also sell different types of snacks and drinks! La Colombe coffee is served too! Can't ask for a better neighborhood deli!" ]

[ "$5 Italian hoagie with ham, capicola and salami on a seeded roll. Pretty good, a much better alternative to subway. Smaller sandwich than Dad's Deli but higher quality.\n\nThey also have hot hoagies, soups, salads, wings, hotdogs, and fries.", "When I lived in Philly, I was spoiled with all of the great hoagie options there. I thought I would never find hoagies that lived up to the ones I had enjoyed in Philly, but I have been surprised on more than one occasion here in NJ. Yes, there are good hoagies to be found here!\n\nWhat I love about the $5 Italian hoagie from Skyler's is that it's not gargantuan. Some hoagie places will give you more hoagie than you can feasibly eat in one sitting. That is not to say that this hoagie isn't ample in size; it is. I'd say the roll is about 10\" in size. I could get two meals out of that. But I shared the other half with my other half.\n\nYou really can't go wrong with quality meats and cheeses by Dietz & Watson. All hoagies are made to order with your choice of condiments and vegetables, of course. I really can't think of anything bad to say about this hoagie. It was satisfying taste-wise; size was right; price was right.\n\nThey also have a list of hoagies for $6.00 and $6.50. Those are still very good prices. I don't think you would be disappointed to try one of their cold or hot hoagies. As the 1st reviewer mentioned, they have other things on the menu, too. Worth a try!", "DELICIOUS food and the best Gyros in the area! Homemade sauce is incredible.", "Always fresh. Always delicious. Always great customer service. No need to say more.\n\nNo yelp, I don't want to say more. Shall I continue to repeat myself?\n\nAlways fresh. Always delicious. Always great customer service. No need to say more.", "A great tasting Italian hoagie at a great price. As long as I am working in the area there is no need for me to go to Primo or Wawa when I crave a hoagie. \n\nWell done Skylers. I'll be here once a week.\n\nLooking fwd to trying some of your hot sandwiches.", "Got a cheesesteak hoagie while traveling through for work. Wasn't bad, wasn't good. Nothing wrong with it, but I'd had much better. \n\nThe place was busy so there are probably better choices, but unless you are looking for a slightly better version of Subway I'd try elsewhere.", "This place is great! The hoagies are delicious, the cheesecake is amazing, and they sell one of my favorite things ever... whole pickles! The couple who owns this business are some of the kindest people. You won't regret trying a giant $5 hoagie here!", "Small mom-and-pop sandwich shop; takes a while to get your food but it's worth the wait. Proprietors are super-nice and work super-hard. Love the Italian hot dog (North Jersey-style).", "A nice hoagie done well. The fact that they only charge $5 for some of them a nice as well. The owner and staff are very nice, so going there is always easy.", "This is sandwich perfection. \n\nI get the smoked turkey on a seeded roll (you have the option of plain or seeded). Great fresh vegetables - they use those little roma tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, and a perfect amount of oil and vinegar. Not too much meat, just the right proportion for a balanced sandwich. I've never had their hot sandwiches.\n\nThey're not super fast (takes like 5-10min) but you can always call ahead.\n\nTheir $5 hoagies are the best value around." ]

[ "Billie Jean. Another masterpiece from Zoe Robinson and her team who transport us to a side street in the West village or North Beach, and more importantly deliver on the high expectations we all have for her creations. Bille Jean was awesome. We sat at the chic bar and Blake took incredible care of us especially given the intensity of a first night. The spirits are off the radar selections so right away i felt somewhere far away and special. My scotch was perfect and her martini was too. The lighting in the dark room was just right and the noise never rose to that level where we could not hear each other in our normal talking voice. \n\nThe food had classic familiarity and simplicity. Dining at Billie Jean will be a perfect compliment to this trio of St. Louis' finest experiences (I Fratellini and Bar Les Freres). The Asian influence is meaningful, and even though i dislike the word fusion it fits. No bread here, instead a scallion pancake with a ginger hoisin soy sauce. Again it felt special and different. So tasty. We had the tuna poke style lettuce wraps which definitely pack a spicy punch but I loved them. The mushroom radicchio salad with the warm bacon dressing and parmigiana was - according to the successful chef who tried it next to me - the perfect flavor profile. Julie and I both loved it. I was very happy with the Asian flavored spare ribs perfectly tender and then a split swordfish with a parsley verde sauce so subtle we were able to experience the swordfish in its perfect preparation. Subtlety and style combine wth a bold atmosphere to make Billie Jean another reason Zoe is our towns finest creator and leader of the dining experience. And we can walk there.", "Excellent service, ambiance, cocktails and menu. Zoe is a master at her craft and her attention to detail is unmatched. Another beautiful creation and I look forward to returning", "We had dinner at Billie Jean last night with friends and the owner was on site which says something in and of itself. The staff could not have been more gracious and attentive. It is such a cozy, beautiful space.", "My husband was able to get a last minute reservation for Billie Jean this evening. We've been anxiously awaiting to come here since it was announced that Zoe would open another restaurant in our neighborhood. \nThe ambiance is great. The wine selection was wonderful! The husband ordered a Cab and I a Pinot Noir. \nThe menu is small, but everything we had was delicious! We were offered complimentary scallion pancakes with a ginger dipping sauce. Very good! The husband and I shared the duck spring rolls which were amazing!! I ordered the mushroom and radicchio salad as well. Unfortunately the radicchio was too bitter for my taste, but Zoe not only brought out another serving of mushrooms to offset the bitterness of the radicchio, but she took it off our bill altogether! I wasn't expecting that, but it was much appreciated! \nAs our entrees we ordered the red snapper which was served whole, and seasoned and cooked well. We also got the dumpling soup. The broth was amazing! It was terrific on this extremely cold evening! \nSince we're within walking distance, we will definitely be back, and maybe we'll bring some of our friends too!", "Love the location and atmosphere. Prices are high-Especially the wine and drinks. Too high to feel good about ordering a second. Average wine price per glass is $13-18. Chardonnay per glass was $18. Same with cocktails. My husbands Manhattan was $17. \nI had snapper. It was full of bones. I couldn't take a bite without pulling a bone out of my mouth. Others at our table had dumpling soup and liked it. Also, the quail dish was good, but needed more seasoning. The swordfish was excellent. The bread was like a pita with dipping sauce. It was delicious. Service excellent. Everything is a la Carte and you can expect to pay high $30s per entree. If the drink prices were lowered, I think we'd come back. Not sure as it is.", "Fall off the bone best spare ribs I've ever eaten. Classy & intimate. Ended our evening with a short chilly needed walk to Bar LF down the street for some champs..perfect places for my birthday evening", "Celebrated my 40th birthday dining at the outstanding Billie Jean! What a wonderful addition to St. Louis and to Zoe Robinson's exemplary history of top notch eating and drinking establishments. Similar to I Frattelini, Billie Jean delivers on an equally exquisite food and service experience you just can't receive anywhere else in St. Louis. \n\nWe started off with complimentary, perfectly cooked scallion pancakes. Then, we enjoyed tuna crudo that literally melts in your mouth and delivers the ideal amount of spice on a cold winter night. The beef carpaccio was also excellent. The lemon grass, shrimp and pork dumpling soup was undoubtedly one of the best soups we've had. The broth was perfectly balanced without being too salty, with a side of chili paste to customize one's own preference for additional spice. Last but not least, we shared a unique and delectable quail with hazelnut stuffing and butternut squash. Top notch meal and memorable 40th birthday celebration.", "One of my new favorite restaurants! From the minute we walked into the door last night we experienced excellent service and had the best time. Somehow, I was able to get a Friday reservation when I called earlier this week. I was so excited! When I walked in I was greeted immediately with a smile and they took our coats. Once seated, we started with the Seoul 75 and White Cosmo cocktails. Both were delicious and perfectly\nbalanced. I always worry about cocktails being too sweet but neither of these were. The menu for the evening looked incredible so we decided to take the strategy of ordering a bunch of things to share. The kitchen timed our courses absolutely PERFECTLY so none arrived at the table before we were ready or made us wonder where they were. We were thrilled to see scallion potato pancakes arrive at the table, compliments of the chef. They were really delicous. For our meal, we started with the duck spring rolls and the spare ribs. The duck spring rolls were presented where we each received our own plate, which I thought was a nice touch. We then each had our own little sweet & sour dipping sauce. Next, the spare ribs came out and we were also given hot towels to clean our hands. These spare ribs were incredible. Falling off the bone. The sauce was deliciously spicy. And they were topped with green onions - which I love. I would consider eating this as my meal the next time I return. The smaller portion comes with five ribs. For our main dishes, I decided to stick with smaller plates to be able to try more and ordered the green curry mussels and the tuna crudo. My friend ordered the pork belly. It was the first night for the pork belly on the menu and she thought it was amazing. I was obsessed with the tuna crudo. Everything about the dish was absolutely perfect and the tuna was so fresh and the acid and other spice on the plate was total perfection. I also enjoyed the mussels, though I was expecting to get a little bit of heat from the green curry description. Regardless, they were still delicious. At this point, we were comfortably full and not able to indulge in dessert - even though it sounded amazing. I also ordered a glass of sparkling wine to drink with my entrees and thought it was yummy. Never once did our water glasses need filling or did we want for anything. It honestly felt like we were the only table in the restaurant (which was full), which is exactly how you want to feel. The price point for this restaurant is incredible based on the level of service and quality of the food. Our cocktails were around $13/each and totally worth it. Most of our shared plates were around $16/each. And the entrees were priced as you might expect. I've had similarly priced meals that did not feel nearly as decadent or wonderful as my experience tonight at Billie Jean. I cannot wait to come back!", "Outstanding food, cool vibe, initiate space. This restaurant has it all. We've been twice and can't wait to go back. St. Louis is lucky to have such a talented and adventurous restaurateur like Zoe Robinson who keeps showing us all how it's done!", "The restaurant is a masterpiece, in and of itself. Stop for a second to look at the art, and then learn about the artist/photographer - if you don't know already. And have a drink of your liking to enhance the flavors of your liking - because it's why you're there. The food, the drink, the ambience. It's all divine...thank you Zoe, for par excellence, of course!" ]

[ "They are fairly new to the area. I broke one of my cardinal rules, which is always give a restaurant some time before trying it, and ordered the first week they were open! I was desperate for delivery and tired of the same ol' same ol'. That said, I really like the food here. The buffalo shrimp is my favorite thing here. The boys love the cheesesteak sandwhich. I've also had the wings, fried mushrooms and salad. Yes, that is correct I have not tried the pizza! The food always shows up hot and the orders is always correct. They have a coupon for 2 philly cheesesteaks or any two sammies for $10.99 (excluding the veal parm) I think that's a deal as they are huge! Huge as in I eat 1/2 for dinner and 1/2 for lunch the next day. I have not seen the inside but I know it's been remodeled. One thing though, the same chick always answers the phone so if you ask about how hot the medium buffalo sause is, she will tell you it's really hot, but it's really not. Just sayin'", "Guess our mistake was dining in the restaurant. The counter help left alot to be desired. She acted as if we were distrubing her. My companion ordered what should have been one of their $5 lunch specials (you will find them on a board on the opposite wall, away from the counter, not directly visible at first glance), but the cashier rang it up seperately, adding a few dollars to the order. We ordered Moz Sticks and I had the Chicken Parm dinner. Must say thumbs up on the Chicken Parm-excellent. However, the Moz Sticks were cold in the centers, the Pizza by the slice lacked any spices, and overall, it was a less than pleasant experience.", "yummy yummy yuuuummmy pizza!! I am a very Italian girl, and have tried every single pizza place in Tampa & st Pete and they are nothing to write home about. Just the usual, flimsy dough soaked in grease with scant toppings for $15 yikes....One day I had passed up the Pizza joint and had to give it a whirl...Not only was I not disappointed, It was some of the very best pizza I have ever had! The dough was noticeably home-made, and it had this soft chewy quality that actually seemed to melt in your mouth! The flavor was just right, not to salty and not lacking in toppings...My mouth is watering just thinking about it, I think i will be getting for dinner again tonight. I highly recommend you try the white pizza, it has ricotta, spinach and a ton of good quality mozzarella~~ YUMMY!!", "Not a terrible pizza, but far from a great pie. Everything about this pizza was ok, but not one thing was great or even above average really. The crust was probably the most mediocre aspect of this pie. It lacked flavor and texture. The sauce was average, do average in fact that I can't remember much about it the day after eating it. The cheese and toppings were I be again nothing to write home about, the sausage brings tiny bits that I would feel bad feeding the dog.\n\nReading the other reviews, I was very excited to try the pizza, but am not excited to go back. I don't know if they have changed ownership or recipes or something else, but I can't get excited about this place, but will give it another try, hoping it was an off night.", "I always try to find a locally owned pizza place, I have found a few that I like a lot and this is one of them! The food is awesome! I cannot get enough good pizza! The garlic knots are great too!", "I have ordered from pizza joint about 100 times to home and office and it has always been the best pizza I ever had.. They use fresh grande cheese and fresh sauce..They always make sure you have enough sauce and cheese on the pizza so it is far from dry..However, the crust is still thin and firm which is hard to do down south with the humidity...This pizza tastes like the kind I used to get on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ...The owners I believe used to work at Westshore pizza but they do it right..Westshore was always pre made on racks and than warmed up as you order...yuck...This place makes it fresh from scratch and it blows Westshore away..They also use a special spice in the sauce which is awesome..I am usually not one to write a review but I am just stoked how consistent which is hard to find in a mom and pop pizza shop....You should try this place once and if you are from New York or up north I promise you that you will not eat pizza no where else again...I am surprised that delivery is so fast as I would think this place would SELL 500 pies a nite the way they do it...They seem so humble about it but they really have the best in Tampa Bay...I used to work in pizza shops in New Jersey so I am very particular..The best kept secret and best of the bay for pizza.. Angela is soo right!! She knows her food.", "The Pizza Joint is pretty good. My friends and I got a large pizza, half chicken/ half mushroom. The guy taking our order was nice. The pizza itself was good. However, the chicken topping was not great. It tasted like chicken sausage. My friend eats their pizza a lot and thinks it was just a fluke. I plan on going back, but will not get the chicken topping again.", "I experienced these guys' service for the first time today, on vacation from Central Florida. I ordered plain spaghetti (sue me), bread and butter, and two slices of cheese pizza. They told me the wait time would be 30-40 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it came in 15 minutes. My bread was delicious, the pizza was great too. Two very large slices that weren't too oily, but also didn't lack proper seasoning or cheese. But then it all hit the fan.\n I told you I ordered plain spaghetti, right? You'd think if I ordered plain spaghetti, I'd get plain spaghetti, right? Nope. It came swimming in tomato sauce. I was quite disappointed, because it was not what I ordered. But to be honest, I was stuffed from my bread and pizza, so I just stopped there.\n The delivery man was an older looking gentleman, with white hair and beard. He was friendly as could be, really a great guy. I don't blame him one bit for what happened. It this that keeps me from putting this place at only two stars.", "My first experience with The Pizza Joint was when I asked them to cater my daughter's birthday party. I ordered baked ziti for 30 people...man, I got enough food to feed 100, lol. And it was delicious! The kids loved it all: the garlic knots, the ziti, the salad, everything. And the ziti was even better the next night as leftovers! Since that was a good experience, I decided to switch it up and get our traditional Friday night pizza from The Pizza Joint. Again, delicious! Even my husband - who is not a giant pizza fan - commented about how good it was and how fresh the ingredients tasted. \n\nWe will definitely be using The Pizza Joint from now on for our Italian carry-out.", "Usually, I do not hungar for cold pizza flavored with disappointment and irritation, but when I do, I order delivery from The Pizza Joint.\nI call up and place my delivery order, give my name, phone number, address and all that, then get told delivery will be about 45 to 50 minutes. I accept the wait since it is a weekend. 60 minutes later (I am a patient man) I call back to check on the status of my order and am told that it is sitting there on the counter waiting for me because the driver didnt see my house and the thought of calling me never even crossed their minds." ]

The menu looked reasonably priced with a good number of dishes to choose from including breakfast and dinner. Both, myself and my coworker hated our meals. I ordered a steak and onion sandwich, in which the waitress said was an excellent choice and my friend ordered a grilled cajun chicken sandwich. When the sandwiches arrived, they were not appetizing at all. The only thing I could taste was the oil from the steak. It literally dripped oil when I picked up my sandwich. My friend had a similar dissatisfaction. Needless to say, we will not be going back there ever again and would gladly wait however long to eat at The Yummy House.", "A new building next to the wonderful Yummy House China Bistro. Same owners, I am told. \n\nGood food, nice and clean, simply decorated, great food.

You will find something for breakfast or lunch that will be good. \n\nI highly recommend and will most certainly go back and be a frequent diner there. \n\nGood job - Country Pumpkin Cafe! Keep up the good work.", "Be careful, they don't care much about food safety! I've been to this place for breakfast once before and the food was ok so decided to go this morning. Tampa has had a Boil Water order since yesterday.. this was an order, not a suggestion. Other restaurants are either not serving anything with water or are serving canned drinks, bottled water and oj, etc. Not here. I asked the waitress and she said they have a filter and an ice machine so they are safe. I told her that wasn't safe and a filter won't stop ecoli, etc. She said \"well maybe we should just close then\" and I agreed. It's disgusting. They are not complying with the city of Tampa's water safety orders (serving fountain sodas and glasses of water) for restaurants so I'm not going back..even after the order is lifted.", "Why 3 stars? Because it was solid with a large variety.\n\n --- --- ---\n\nI can't believe how long I've lived in Seminole Heights, and how long it's taken to visit the Country Pumpkin. It's nestled right next to Yummy House, and has managed to remain very ghostly. But I finally found a way, being the fat kid that I am...\n\nI had to go with the banana pancakes, and I was pretty happy with them. I don't usually like to order pancakes, because about 3/4 of the way in, I am usually ready for a nap. These cakes tasted great, but I did indeed feel a coma coming on before even finishing my meal.\n\nI'd go back here again for something else... I could practically walk to it from my house.", "The food deserves 4 stars. I had the Breakfast Scramble which is a huge portion of potatoes with sauteed onions, spinach, peppers and mushrooms and topped with eggs and cheese. It comes with a side of Cuban toast, which is a nice twist. I highly recommend this meal for hangovers. :)\n\nService was really lacking. Once our food was brought to our table, we were forgotten. No one came to check on things or drop off the bill. Eventually my dining mate went searching for our server in order to get the check.", "This meal definitely aided in healing my post party hangover stupor. The GINORMOUS omelet that could have fed 3 people was flavorful and the sausage wrapped in my cheesy egg monster was really divine. The homefries on the side were also seasoned really well. I splurged with a blueberry pancake on the side and I gotta be honest, it wasn't as good as First Watch's, it was a little dry, but it did satisfy my hankering. \n\nAs for the ambiance, it was really clean and new looking on the inside, but the layout was odd. Too much open space, nothing about it felt cozy, which is what I've come to expect out of a diner. I was a bit peeved by the service forgetting about us and having to hunt them down for our check, but overall this isn't a bad spot to catch some cheap and tasty breakfast.", "Their strawberry pancakes are the best - full of berries, light and just a touch crispy on the edges. The fried chicken is crisp and moist, but not greasy. And, they are honest. We left a computer there at lunch and didn't notice until after they were closed, but when we called first thing in the morning they had the computer waiting for us.", "VERY cheap breakfast menu for yummy food. Service was fast. Hard to spot this place unless you know exactly where it is ( near yummy house...right past the train tracks heading east on hillsborough). Great price for good food", "Came with a group of friends looking for a new breakfast place. It was mid-morning on a Monday so it was to be expected that there weren't going to be many people dining, but I didn't really expect us to be the only ones dining... slightly concerning if you ask me. At any rate, the menu had quite an extensive breakfast menu.\n\nI decided on one of the breakfast combos -- 2 eggs, bacon, sausage links, ham, and 2 pancakes. I ordered the eggs over medium and they were cooked perfectly. The pancakes were huge and delicious. While the food was tasty and well-prepared, the food took forever to come out. We were waiting for at least 20 minutes for our food.\n\nOverall -- the food and service were great, but the kitchen was suuuuper slow. Because the food was really good, I would actually return for breakfast... but I'd probably have to place an order in advance so that my food is ready before my next birthday.", "Good little breakfast spot in the Seminole Heights area. My friend and I stopped here the other morning and just got the basic breakfast- eggs with toast, potatoes, and bacon- no complaints really. Nothing super special about the food- what you'd expect.

Last couple times I have been there not only has the service been horrible but the food poritons have been cut way back and the quality of it is not as good. We will be looking for a new mexican place.", "The only thing Mexican at this restaurant were the people working there. Seasoned ground beef was all I got in my taco and enchilada. The enchilada sauce and salsa must come straight out of a can made in no other than New York city! I could of gotten a better and tastier meal at Taco Bell.", "This is the best Mexican food we have found in the NOLA area. I can only speak for the enchiladas, as that is all we ever get... they are consistently good. Love it topped with their cheese sauce. Their salsa is not anything special, but I always eat more than I should. \n\nService is quick, and the food is filling at this little place.", "I ate here last week and I am just now getting around to writing a review for this place, mainly because my experience here was pretty forgettable.\n\nThe food here is a solid three stars: not overly great, not bad at all, really just \"meh\". I got the chicken flautas which came with a side of rice and beans. It wasn't bad. Halfway through the meal, I was wishing that I had added a little spice to the rice and beans, as it was really kind of bland. The prices weren't bad and I would say that it's a good place for a fast hot lunch. I will say that \"Amigos\" does have an extensive menu and even the pickiest eaters are sure to find something that they will enjoy.\n\nUnfortunately, the Westbank doesn't have as diverse of a selection of Mexican faire as other parts of the city, but my Westbank \"go to\" is still El Mesquite Grill.", "Los Tres Amigos is an average Mexican restaurant. That being said, there are a few redeeming qualities.\n\nThe building was once a different restaurant, so the design seems a bit odd. While I cant remember exactly what it was, it reminds me of a breakfast restaurant. There is nothing wrong with that, but the layout seems a bit odd. One nice thing is the patio area. In front there are several tables with simulated palm umbrellas. On a nice day you could dine and have a great view of the traffic driving down Lapalco.\n\nOne nice thing they do is the individual servings of salsa. Rather than bring out two filled bowls, they bring a glass container filled with salsa. This lets you decide how many bowls you want to make. This is a nice feature.\n\nService was acceptable, but drink refills were few and far between. The food wasn't bad, but seemed rather average. \n\nWith so many other Mexican options on the West Bank, I don't think I will be returning again anytime soon.", "Well I decided to hit this joint up today and see if it was any good.\n\nThe people here were pretty friendly. The hostess that sat me was very friendly. So was the spanish waitress that took my order. I did notice they had a really good menu selection.\n\nI ordered the Chimichanga . It came with spanish rice and refried beans. The chimichanga was good and so were the refried beans. The rice was okay but nothing special. Before I even got my meal I was provided free chips and salsa which I think should be a standard at every mexican restaurant. The best thing was that there portions were huge.\n\nThe decor was typical of what you would see at a mexican restaurant. They had quite a selection of beer and mixed drinks. Which I will have to check again on another date and time,preferably when I do not have to be at work the next day.\n\nIn short really good place to grab some good mexican food and a few drinks.", "My family loves this place!!

The lounge is somewhat quiet (Friday night), not many people, but great if you have a group of people and want a sort of private hangout. I'm assuming this place will get more crowded as people find out about it. The rooms are clean, modern, and quiet. Good hotel staff.", "Making reservations was easy and the front desk was friendly. I did call once to ask for transportation options and the front desk couldn't help me, which was odd. But anyway... we arrived and they gave us a city view - nice perk! \n\nThe hotel is rather new so everything was clean and updated. We had a king room suite which was very spacious. A small fridge and microwave came with. They do not have safes, so if you have valuables, bring them with you! The closet is also really small, don't expect to hang a lot of your clothes. \n\nLike I mentioned above, the staff was super friendly. The breakfast attendant sang to the radio every morning and was super perky, you could tell she loved her job. I wish I got her name. The food was decent, just your typical hot hotel breakfast. I'm a tea drinker and they had plenty of options and my husband said the coffee was good. \n\nMy favorite part was the roof top bar called Up. It opens at 5pm (which is the only bummer)... but it was nice to go out to dinner one night and come back to the hotel for drinks. Its uber modern and has a great view of the city.", "I liked this hotel for location alone. It was near downtown Nashville, but far enough away for some peace and quiet. There are also a few interesting restaurants within walking distance. The interior is fairly stylish and the rooms seemed fairly quiet. Hotel staff was fairly friendly. Also nice, a breakfast buffet was included. Not so nice, valet parking.", "New hotel, clean rooms, walking distance to The Gulch. Located directly across from Yazoo brewing. I haven't checked out the rooftop lounge yet, but I've heard its wonderful. The rooms all have a microwave and mini fridge. Breakfast in the morning is pretty good - hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage (I forget which as I don't eat it), oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, waffle maker. The \"fitness room\" could be better...2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, 1 stationary bike, free weights with 1 bench but its a TINY room.", "A brand new hotel in a trendy part of Nashville, this Fairfield In and Suites offers an up-scale ambiance while maintaining affordability for it's patrons. We were blown away by the level of service we received -accommodating staff at every opportunity necessary and an obvious display of high standards. The rooftop lounge, Up, is something to be seen. Unique menu items with reasonable prices and a view of the city that's completely unbeatable. We'll never stay anywhere else!", "Pros: new, clean, convenient to the Gulch, rooftop bar; rooms have a mini-fridge\n\nCons: understaffed (quote from front desk, 'room wasn't ready because cleaning crew showed up late' - it was 5:00 PM); valet took over 30 mins to get car; rooms had weird quirks for being new hotel (no USB port in rooms-thought this was standard anymore; one wall outlet was half covered by the wall ornament/paneling which made it useless; another was a false outlet); closet is just a little more than storage for the ironing board; although the website shows what looks like a decent pool it's more like an oversized hot tub. \n\nAlso, as previous posts have mentioned, if you're going for the roof top bar, make sure you call/ask if it's closed for a private event. We were there for an event so got to experience it. However we noticed several groups that got turned away, which wouldn't make anyone happy if you paid for a taxi/Uber ride to a closed bar! \n\nSide note: It's a little frustrating when you've stayed at a Marriott property over 100 nights within the past year and yet the front desk staff (and assume their management) stick you in a room next to the elevator with a view of the parking garage. But, that's a post for another day when a further explanation will detail why I'm starting to choose Hiltons because they are just better at the customer service thing. \n\nBack to the hotel, Overall Nashville has much better options when it comes to lodging. The Fairfield is nice because it's new. But they have a long way to go in regards to customer service and staffing.", "Stayed here recently for a music conference and the room was spacious, clean and well stocked. I wouldn't mind a mini-bar though. I had a few small notes that I emailed the manager and they promptly took care of them. The staff was very friendly and the rooftop bar has views for miles. Great to have a new option in town! I will stay again.", "So this hotel is located very centrally, it was about 3/4 of a mile from the Bridgestone hockey arena and there are many good restaurants around it. This place felt more like a full Marriott instead of a Fairfield. The room was very large, the building is very new and amenities in the room were more like you'd expect from a full Marriott. Like a full walk-in shower and sheets, towels and pillows that did not feel like a Fairfield. If you want a good place to stay with good places to eat and walk around this is a great choice.", "Stayed here recently. It was a new very clean hotel. Desk staff was excellent. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Only downside was the elevators were the slowest on earth.

So we were the first to eat there and the first to review! The decor was soothing green earth tones and some funky nature-inspired metal sculptures. \n\nThe review of the comida is based on two different breakfasts with groups of four and six, respectively. I highly recommend any of the caldos (soups), but the best is the posole. It is as good as the excellent posole at El Menudo Taqueria in San Francisco and almost as good as my Grandma's posole. You have to try the atole de guayaba, even , or especially, if you have never tried atole before. It is just the right viscosity with a pleasing tropical fruity sweetness. Other caldos we have tried include birria, chicken and menudo. The fish tacos were unexpectedly tasty with a crisp light batter and garnished with guacamole. The chilaquiles were fine if a bit ordinary. Overall, you can't go too wrong with a meal at Antojito's.", "I went Antojitos for lunch today. I must say I was impressed. I ate a shrimp burrito and a cheese enchilada and my boyfriend had a carnitas burrito and a goat taco (I mention this, because I tried them as well.) The food was great. My burrito was absolutely delicious (I've been on a shrimp burrito kick since July after I had the best one of my life at a place called La Playa in Mission beach and I must say this is the best one I've found in Reno.) The prices at Antojitos are extremely reasonable... our total for the 2 burritos, enchilada and taco was $13 including tax. The staff was extremely friendly as well. I would definitely recommend Antojitos if you've got an itch for some quick Mexican food!", "I happened to be in town for a bowling tournament in Reno and was looking for something that is legit.

Would love to get the opportunity to sit down here for lunch one day and try one of their plates.", "Good stuff!\n\nCeviche is very good here. Fish tacos are decent as well. Friendly servers and a very laid back atmosphere (almost always a soccer match on the tele!). No beers on tap, but Bohemia (and others) available by the bottle.

They are the type of owners who remember your name and order and are more than happy to hold a conversation with you. You can't ask for anything better!

Fantastic! \nI got my order to go, and food was still smokin' hot by the time I got to eat at my destination 30 minutes later - although it did melt through the styrofoam container :-( . \nFried wonton and crab rangoon were not the best ever, but still OK for cheap takeout.\nMenu says lunch specials come with fried rice, but what I got was more like brown rice. Not a big deal to me (preferred, actually), but just wanted to make note for any future Yelpers who enjoy a meal here!\nVery friendly staff...made certain I had everything I needed before I left.\n\nCan't overstate it enough....really, really impressed with online ordering option.", "Third visit: St. Paul Sandwich. Surprise! They serve on an onion roll instead of white bread! Purists may take offense to this, but made a good sandwich great! Service still good, too.", "This isn't your typical Chinese place. These are far and few in between! This is our 2nd time this week ordering from here! You must try!", "This is the real deal. I almost didn't try it because I read that it had a very small dining area. Actually, I would describe the dining area as \"quaint\". The dining area is sectioned off from the main counter to create a cozy area with 5 tables. We went for dinner and there was sit down table service. The waitress did a great job keeping all 5 tables happy. The food is EXCELLENT and the menu is full of choices. The prices are very reasonable. It was an enjoyable evening and we will be back. \nThis place is in the corner of a strip mall. From the outside, it looks like a carry out place (and I'm sure they do plenty of carry out). But go in and give the sit down service a try. You may be as pleasantly surprised as I was.", "I love my co-workers. We're always ordering in for each other. Usually it's pizza, but on this cold day my assistant manager declared \"Chinese!\" So we searched on Yelp for nearby Chinese delivery places and settled on Hunan Yu thanks to all the great reviews.\n\nWell....I've had better. Many times. I ordered General Tso's chicken with egg drop soup and an egg roll. Now I love spicy food - LOVE - but I've never had Chinese food that was spicy enough for me. So I ordered my chicken \"extra spicy\"! So I open up my container and dig in...to my not even remotely spicy General Tso's chicken. I don't mean that it just wasn't extra spicy as requested, but it wasn't the least bit spicy AT ALL! As far as I'm concerned it was just chicken in a sauce whose flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on.\n\nNow, the egg drop soup. Always been a favorite of mine. But it was extra thick and the taste wasn't quite right. Even my super nice manager, who said his sweet and sour shrimp was great, said that the soup \"tastes like soap.\"\n\nConsidering how many Chinese delivery places there are, I'd try some other places before ordering from this one again.", "This local joint just down the road from me provides a great value for the amount of food you're given. Seriously, a dinner combo with the main, rice, egg roll and soup for $7?! A complete steal if you ask me and it's not low quality either, this is probably why it was very busy when I walked in yesterday. I waited around 20 minutes for one dinner order but I didn't mind, I could see they were working very hard to keep up with the volume. I'm so glad the place is only a 2 minute drive from the house!" ]

[ "I have to get a few things off my chest before I review Imos. I just moved to the midwest/St Louis area and I wasn't expecting uber-thin crust pizza. \n\nA) the house salad was great! Crisp fresh lettuce with cheese and tomato. \nB) there was something off about the pizza. I didn't like the very thin crust, but there was some cheese or something they used that tasted more like an alfredo sauce then a pizza cheese. I was not a fan. \nC) that being said, I'll try it again and ask for thick crust. \nD) delivery was prompt! and that's important for the hungry masses at home.", "I just don't get why people out here are so crazy about this place. The pizza is okay, but I think mozzarella cheese is better than provel. As one of my favorite quotes ever out of Sports Illustrated stated \"He's like pizza, even when he's bad, he's good.\" That is the way I feel about Imo's. I will eat it if someone gives it to me, but overall it is not that great, but it is still pizza. \n\nI think Elicia's has better pizza for St. Louis style, and it is usually cheaper.", "I gave Imo's another try, but this time with the thicker crust. It was better, but still not the best in the world as everyone seems to rave. But I still think their salads are very good and super cheap ($5).", "So lame that people associate our fair city with this place. I used to really like Imo's, until I moved away and realized I'd been lying to myself my entire life.\nMy friend used to work at an Imo's when we were in high school and I'd go visit her sometimes after school. I should've taken it as a sign that everyone was in the back smoking pot and cigarettes (in the kitchen, while making food) that the place was a dump. But when you're in high school that kind of stuff is cool. \nNot anymore, folks (I mean about smoking and ash in my food, I don't disagree with herbal medicine). I'd like (at the very least) a reasonably clean kitchen for my food to be prepared, along with cheese that is not made of plastic (but actual milk products).", "You must have to be from St. Louis to appreciate this kind of pizza. Never heard of the Provel cheese they put on it until i moved here. Must be an acquired taste", "Avoid like the plague. We used to eat here but never again! The owner is very rude. We had a gift card for $5 on a plastic card. The owner told a lie \"the gift card machine is down\" and offered to take cash. Hmmm.... The way he refused to take our gift card that is supposed to be good at all restaurants like this was very wrong and for him to cop an attitude was also wrong. The previous times we had eaten at this restaurant the food was about as good as frozen pizza you can get at the supermarket but we just wanted to use up our gift card. Never again will we go back there.", "No way this is an imo's pizza. It was missing that sprinkle on top and it was loaded with sauce. \nThe young man was very rude over the phone and kept saying what. What. I am a customer service rep and I speak very clear. When I went in to pick up my food no one greeted me nor did they even say what do you want. I said to the boy in a blue imo's hello I am here to pick up my food for lauren. He said huhh. I said, no not huhh lauren. He looked at me as if I wasn't at imo's nor was I there to even pick il food. The young blondish haired boy needs to take a class or to in customer service and his boss should be watching how these kids are making his food and treating their customers. Ridiculous!!!\n I will never be back", "I love imo's but this was a let down.\n\nThe staff was rude, there was a hole in the door, floor and tables were a bit dirty. The bathroom was pretty dirty too.\n\nThe food was good and the prices were good. The inside it is cramped but there was a good amount of out door seating.", "OK, so here's the thing. You either get St. Louis style pizza, or you don't. You either accept Provel cheese as part of the local foodscape, or there must be something wrong with you. \n\nImo's IS Saint Louis style pizza. Thin, crispy, need two extra large ones to fill up a family of 4, coated in a molten layer of this cheese foodstuff that is met with more hostility by foodies than met the Jews by Hitler. \n\nSaint Louis Style pizza isn't for everyone. I know very few locals that don't like it. I know many STL transplants that either loved it the first time, or it grew on them. It is something different, and personally, I love it. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. They have some good salads too. Ordering from this location, I often request a side salad, and get delivered a full order for the price of the side. Sharing is caring, folks. Although I usually don't. \n\nOne more point of advice. If you're new to the area, or just visiting, and you've never had toasted ravioli before. DO NOT under any circumstances let your T-Rav cherry get popped by an Imo's T-Rav. You'll regret it for the rest of your life, and it will not call you the following day. Just don't do it.", "Pizza is good and delivery times are fair. Prices are too high ($23 for a large two-topping) and the first time I ordered from them they mixed up the style of crust I wanted. If you really want pizza, get it, but if you have any other options you should definitely explore those first." ]

In addition to her inability to accept people who do not drink she is shady towards individuals of the lgbt community, although she will appear to welcome us into the establishment it is apparent she is uncomfortable with us displaying any signs of affections. In this day and age, it much easier to find non-gay places that are welcoming to all types without facing this level of shade. As that is the case, me and friends will find another establishment.

Convenient to medical centers, Smoothie King Center and Superdome. Good place to stop pre or post Pel's or Saint's game to celebrate or drown your sorrows. Plenty of televisions for sports. Patio if you want to get away from sports! Cold beer and good friends. If you like tequila try a shot of the T1 Estelar.

I met a group for a business meeting and ended up seeing several others I know from the neighborhood. \n\nThey have live DJs and the music is pumping after 10:00 pm. The lights are pretty low, and the ambiance caters to a late night party, while being perfectly appropriate for a dinner date night earlier in the evening. \n\nThere's typically plenty of parking on Tulane Ave, and it's well lit. They are closed on Tuesdays. The outside patio bar is really chill and will be an awesome spot when it warms up a bit. \n\n(The absolute best part of this place is that on Thursday nights they offer a $10 steak night.

So, my friend and I decided to give it a try. \n\nThe food and service was decent. The staff didn't give us the greatest first impression. When we walked in they were at the other end of the restaurant talking amongst each other. They decided that they would finish up their conversation before seating us. Finally after a few minutes have passed and a few dirty looks were given from us, our waiter decided to seat us. \n\nIf you are in the mood for Vietnamese, just drive to Pho Quyen. The food, menu, portions, price, and service is so much better. For being a nicer place and serving overpriced food, I expected better service and the food to be better. The food wasn't terrible, it just wasn't as authentic. The meal presentation was probably the only thing that was better than average.", "Indochinois doesn't fill their menu with Thai or Chinese favorites. It has a huge menu filled with classic Vietnamese dishes. The restaurant moved up Dale Mabry, but the location in a very crowded \nstrip mail could scare off some lunch time customers. They would be missing some interesting lunch specials.\n\nI am not a big fan of pho, but Indochinois has a wonderful Oriental Bouillabaisse with shrimp and salmon. Conservative diners will really like the Key Lime Chicken and the Bun Bo Xao with lemongrass beef. South Tampa food lovers should try this family-owned restaurant with its good service, lovely decor, and dynamic menu offerings.", "We went for lunch on a weekend and were very happy. My fiance got the Bahn Mi which he enjoyed and they accommodated my request for chicken Pho even though it wasn't on the menu.", "Nice build out, comfy and well appointed. I decided to have the pork bahn mi - a tasty treat - lunch special is 9.95 for the sandwich, a veggie roll and a drink. \n\nIndochinois is more expensive than the places on Waters for sure... of course, Carriage Trade Plaza is the high rent district, and this place is a LOT nicer than the Formica table/fluorescent light places uptown.\n\nFood: The sammie was yummy. A little hard to eat because if its construction, and the cilantro should be cut up some (thats hard to bite into) but the flavors were really good. The veggie roll was meh, I'd do the crispy roll instead next time.\n\nI'd go 3.5 stars, but thats not doable, so I'll round up to 4.", "I visited there yesterday for lunch. We had the spring rolls made with tofu since I cannot eat shrimp, then the Pho which was tremendous, nice slices of beef with a wonderfully fresh bone marrow broth. They grow their own herbs in the back in container gardens, so the basil was very fresh. The service was good and the staff was charming and conversational. We will be returning!", "This is a really great place for Lunch (maybe even dinner but I've never been). It's family owned and feels like it. The spring rolls are an amazing app. The Pho and Mi are both really great entrees. I have heard compliants from friends about slow service but have never experienced that for myself. My brother is a really picky eater and even he loves this place. Definitely worth a try!", "This place is certainly not the \"Best in Vietnamese\" as their sign proclaims. The pho was bland: the ingredients were lacking in quality and flavor. The spring rolls were of the same tasteless genre. I made the mistake of ordering a mojito, which arrived tardy to the table and did not possess the taste of a mojito because the sugar and soda were forgotten. \n\nAn assortment of unseasoned vegetables did nothing to salvage the curry base, which was a more of a yellow water than a curry. I was under the impression that curry sauces are supposed to be flavorful. \n\nAdd to this the prices, which are much higher than other (and better) places in town and you've earned one star. \n\nAt least the decor was pleasant.", "I came back here because the choices for Vietnamese restaurants in south Tampa are very limited. This time I tried their rice dish. That was a lot better. Service was also better this time around. I also like their dish presentation. It is pretty overpriced though. For good pho (Vietnamese noodle soup), I would recommend going to any Pho Quyen.", "Had lunch there today and had a nice meal. We went a little later, around 1pm, so it was not busy at all, and the service was prompt.\nThe first thing that impressed me was the fact that the ENTRIE menu is gluten-free! I did not have to ask if an item could be specially prepared, or not get something I really wanted because there was hidden gluten.\nI had the spring rolls (un-fried) which were ok. I loved the mint, but the noodles were the main focus, not the protein.\nFor the entree, I had the grilled key lime chicken rice bowl, and my buddy had the sliced lemongrass beef rice bowl. The chicken was much much better and I would order it again, but not the beef which was a little overcooked for my taste. \nAll in all, a great place for a quick lunch, but a little pricey considering an ice tea, half an appetizer and an entree was $20 with tip." ]

By the way the food is delicious! The homemade potato chips are my favorite. A great local spot!", "This part of Philadelphia reminded me of the Williamsburg section of Queens. A transitional neighborhood with a mixture of the young artsy hipsters and the old ethnic neighbors. After reading about Ida Mae's on a food blog, my ever so lovely lady and I decided this would be just the place for two aging hipsters. So we trundled on up to Fishtown for a late breakfast. Freshly renovated in an old corner bar it was wonderful inside. All the cooking is done behind the old bar, right out in the open. The menu was varied and inventive with items like a Full Irish Breakfast, Tofu scramble and daily specials along with many standard breakfast items like eggs, omelets and pancakes. My companion had the Irish Breakfast which was enough food for two people. The Irish Breakfast consists of 2 eggs, Irish bacon, sausage, roasted tomato, baked beans, white pudding, mushrooms, potato bread and soda bread - whew!! I had the Breakfast Burrito which had in it scrambled eggs, sharp cheese, black beans, avocado coulis and salsa. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. Credit card are accepted and the price just right. Although we went for breakfast they do have lunch items on the menu as well. Great place and great food.", "From the entrance and location you'd think you're walking into more of a Fried Green Tomatoes spot, but you'll be pleasantly surprised by a uniquely laid out back dining area and a clean look counter styled front room. \n\nThere are good ways and bad ways to pull off simple new locales in Fishtown, and this is one of the good ways. A stained glass frame here, a nice polished wood counter there and next thing you know the space is much more inviting than you would have expected when walking past. This is a nice neighborhood addition that knows where it is, but also knows that it doesn't have to be a dump.", "Getting off the El and seeing signs in Spanish make you wonder what the hell you've just gotten yourself into, but fear not! Walk on. \n\nThe first time my companion and I tried to go to Ida Mae's it was closed for summer vacation which gives you an idea on the kind of small family run type establishment this is. \n\nWe went back early the next week and the place was PACKED. There's not a lot of space, and the service was kind of slow because it was so busy and low on space. \n\nBUT!!! It was worth it because I had the best damned creamed chipped beef on toast I've had in my entire life. I didn't know the Irish did it--but oh god I'm willing to travel to the wilds of Fishtown (or Port Fisherton as someone calls that neighborhood) again and again for it.", "This place is good no matter where it is, as every other reviewer has mentioned. Personal favies are the Creamed Chip Beef, Beans on Toast, either option with black beans, though really I like almost everything on the menu. My two dislikes - their soda bread and their pancakes. If you want pancakes and are in Fishtown/PR/Port Fishington (UGH!), head over to Sulimay's. Their's are outstanding, but the rest of the menu is very meh.", "Tried this place 4 or 5 times and in most cases it was OK. Often luck was on my side and my friends would have a problem , not me. Usually the service is friendly but sporadic, despite quiet to almost empty place.\n\nAlso, the food is good but not really special enough to cost what it does. I understand that they're using organic and locally grown food, but the results aren't special. I feel like the same price meal at Honeys or The Hinge nearby would be a lot more interesting. \nLast time at Ida Mae's I had a simple breakfast sandwich, coffee, a side of sausage, and a small OJ. It ended up costing me around $15. More than I expect i would for a full size special gourmet omelet at Honeys for sure. Service was mediocre. \n\nI like Ida Maes for being there and so nice to the community, just am underwhelmed.", "I had a really good experience eating brunch at Ida Mae's on Sunday. We were seated quickly and service was brisk and friendly. I enjoyed watching the chefs prepare food in their open kitchen behind a dramatic polished wood bar. \n\nMy order of huevos rancheros arrived on a stylish square plate, but the real star was the colorful arrangement of vegetables, eggs and beans. It was an excellent presentation and everything tasted amazing. I was really hungry so I polished the whole meal at record pace. Very satisfying!\n\nAfterwards, I got a chance to meet Mary Kate, the chef/owner and she couldn't be nicer. She is really into fresh, local ingredients and that is clearly paying off in her dishes. \n\nEveryone at the restaurant seemed to be relaxed and having a good time. I can't wait to head over to Fishtown again for another excellent brunch at Ida Mae's.", "I had the beans on toast with fried eggs and cheddar - great! Friendly staff, great service.", "Authentic Irish brunch with some American fare. Very reasonably priced; if you do takeout you can get away with spending around $15 for two people. Atmosphere is extremely casual. The authentic Irish dishes are the highlights, particularly the full Irish breakfast and the soda farl. \n\nOf note: 1) It's a BYO. 2) CASH ONLY. 3) They do takeout", "One of my closest friends and I attempt to grab breakfast or brunch together at least once a week, and chose Ida Maes after hearing many good reviews. \n\nI have to say I was pretty pleasantly surprised and satisfied by the experience. \n\nThe menu ranges in prices from 6-about 12 dollars for breakfast, I stayed at the lower edge of the spectrum this morning. \n\nThe coffee was good and the server was pleasant and on top of our refills. \n\nI had the breakfast farl which has most likely the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. two pieces of soda bread with bangers (sausage...two big sausages), two eggs, and two slices of rashers( kinda like Canadian bacon). I deconstructed it into a platter and every bit was delicious.\n\nMy counterpart, had a hearty appetite that morning, so I was able to sample a bit of her choices.The heuvos rancheros was better than I've had anywhere. Instead of just a bunch of mush on top of chips, it was a careful stack of Spanish inspired goodies. Also, anything with chunks of avocado always makes me happy. \n\nThe taste of french toast I had reminded me a lot of my mothers which is comforting. It was topped with fresh strawberries instead of the usual frozen overly sweet variety of berries.\n\nI would definately go back to Ida Mae's again. Next time, I think I will be bringing my Irish brother who will love the fact that they have baked beans over toast...an Irish classic." ]

When we walked in, we were greeted by a team member who explained more about the menu and how to order (you order with the cashier and then take a seat and a server brings your food out to you). There are so many options to choose from- tacos, burritos and build your own salad, burrito bowl and quesadilla.. and the best part- their extensive list of toppings are all FREE (yes, that includes guac, sour cream, avo & queso!). I really enjoyed my shrimp burrito bowl and a side of chips and salsa.. I can't wait to come back after work to try some of their margaritas!", "So, I went there last week for take out and the tacos and chips were amazing! Just went back today for take out and it was a complete mess. Ordered refried beans and got black beans. The chips were so salty I couldn't eat them. Very disappointing inconsistencies.", "3 weeks in at their new location by Vandy on 21st and Taco Mama feels like it's been her for years. This comfy, cozy place is staffed with very friendly folks ready to explain 'the system' to you. The menu is full and detailed but it all looks good. Build your own is easiest- almost everything is included so dive in. Gotta say the chicken tacos were fabulous!\nThere will be confusion with Taco Mamacita so figure it out. Parking is squirrelly but if you've made it to The Pantry you can get here. Enjoy!", "I am always looking for a good street taco in Nashville, and I was hoping Taco Mama would be that find. Unfortunately, it fell way short. Super friendly staff but the food just fell short. Chicken tacos were very bland and the chips seemed undercooked and too thin to even be able to dip into the guacamole. Also, I ordered 2 flour tacos and received 1 flour taco and 1 corn taco. And the person I was with ordered shrimp tacos and the shrimp were not fully cooked (he sent them back and the staff was very accommodating). And parking is very tricky.", "I would go to this place all the time in Birmingham, AL and I am SO happy Nashville finally has one. The food is delicious and the queso can't be beat. I always get the nachos and have never had a bad experience!", "This is a new mexican/taco restraunt that just opened up in hillsboro here in Nashville. I have to admit, I was really craving Mexican food, so I was pretty excited when my friends told me to check out this new place Taco Mama. When I walked in it was really dark, and I wasn't a huge fan of that, but it has a nice vibe. \n\nThe food itself was okay. I got nachos and a fish taco. The nachos were really thin so they got soggy really quickly and the taste was just okay. The fish taco was pretty good, but the corn tortilla was a bit hard. \n\nIn general, the experience was okay. I was expecting more, but it was not horrible.", "Just stopped in here for a drink, but it was amazing. Very fresh and huge! Good prices. Love that the menu has a build your own option with all the free toppings you want! Great spot for a lunch!", "OH EM GEE! Move over all you other New Nashville taco joints, Taco Mama is that spot!!!\n\nFirst of all, very prime location. Right in the center of Hillsboro Village, next to Vanderbilt. Perfect for residents, students, doctors and nurses, etc.\n\nThe place seems small for the outside, but actually extends pretty far! It's such a cool atmosphere. They've got paraphernalia from Belmont, Vandy, and Lipscomb #inclusive, but it's definitely that millennial vibe in there. It's not waited service. Instead, you walk up to the counter, look up at the menu (picture attached) and order. They've got basically the same recipes shared across different Mexican food platforms (burrito, burrito bowl, taco). I'm vegan, so I got the tree hugger, which was soooo good and soooo filling!\n\nSide note -- not too many vegan options here, so be careful! But, you have the luxury of creating your own burrito or taco, so you can make t vegan friendly easily! \n\n\nBack to the meal. So you get a drink, chips and salsa, a side, AND your entree. I got a huge burrito with all of this and I was STUFFED. Like wow. I can't believe you get all of this food for like $9. You will not leave unsatisfied!\n\nAs I mentioned, I love the atmosphere here. It's so cool and very Hillsboro Village. They've got indoor and outdoor seating (outdoor is scarce however), but my friends and I were able to snag a table outdoors. This place is gonna be hoppin in the summer! I sincerely cannot wait to return!\n\nOh, one more thing: HELLA DRINKS. And they do drink service to your table, so you don't have to go up to a bar to get your drinks. Just open a tab and they come to you. They only have one tv (that I saw), but you can bet that the weekend's big game will be on it!\n\nWAIT ALSO, the SERVICE was soooo fast!!! Literally we ordered and our food was out to us in no less than 4 minutes. That's incredible!! And the staff was so attentive to us from the time we got there to when we left two hours later (yeah, two hours-- it was that much fun).\n\nOk I could go on but I will sum it up with THIS MAY BE MY NEW FAV RESTAURANT IN THE VILLE", "New favorite taco shop. Lunch was so good came back second day. Sizzlin tacos were amazing.", "Finally a place on 21st to get a quick taco and margarita! I went for a drink and got the house margarita and it was probably the best tasting \"house\" margarita I've ever had. I would've loved for it to be a little stronger but it tasted so good I couldn't be unhappy about it. I also got some chips and salsa and after waiting on it for a good while (it appeared the waitress forgot about it) I talked to the manager about how we had been waiting for a while on chips. He was super nice and apologetic and rushed them out to us. A couple minutes later, he comes out with a free order of queso. Really went above and beyond to make things right when in reality it wasn't a big deal because we had drinks. My friend got the Ahi Tuna tacos and couldn't believe how much food you get for I think it was $10. 2 large tacos, a side, and chips and salsa were included. Friend also had the \"La Playa\" margarita (which was more of a coconut pineapple tequila sunrise w/ salt) and it was delicious. Tuesday's are $4 house margaritas too! I'm actually going there for dinner tonight- gotta try those tacos for myself" ]

[ "Red's is located in the heart of Virginia City, an old mining town turned tourist destination. The streetscape has been preserved with the original wood-slatted walkways, narrow thoroughfare, western victorian style buildings, and of course tons of ye-olde-west saloons, pubs, and most importantly, candy stores.\n\nI mean c'mon. What gun-toting silver-grubbing cowboy -wouldn't- want some peanut brittle to chase down their sasparilla or ale? Certainly not me.\n\nTaken straight from their brochure: \n\"Red's Old Fashioned Candies is the oldest operating candy store & factory in Nevada. They make a wide variety of fudge, brittles, nut clusters, barks, turtles, english toffee, caramel, candy & cinnamon apples & some hard candies.\"\n\nAnyway, Red's has a delightful selection that is varied enough to please even the most discerning sweet-tooth. Some of their prime offerings include:\n\n- Fudge (in a variety of flavors)\n- Ice Cream with chocolate dipped waffle cones\n- Nut Brittle (macadamia, peanut, cashew, brazil nut)\n- Crystalized Hard Candies\n- Sandwiches and lunch snacks\n- Caramel Apples\n\nMy personal favorite was the macadamia nut brittle. Delicious!\n\nIf only they sold guns, knives and confederate flags their operation would be complete!", "Probably one of the best places to get your chocolate related grub on! \n\nThey do hand dipped chocolate ice cream cones which was too tempting to say no to. The ice cream itself was just ok.", "The smell of sugar is overpowering and all encompassing as you walk through the doors. \n\nSugar, \nOh, Honey Honey. \nYou are my candy girl, \nand you got me wanting you. \nHoney, \nOh, Sugar, Sugar. \nYou are my candy girl \nand you got me wanting you. \n\nIf you are a candy girl (or guy), this is the place for you. If you are doing the tourist thing in Virginia City, this is the place to get your sugar fix. They're an old fashioned candy shop with all the sugar your modern heart (or sweet tooth) craves. \n\nThey also have sandwiches, drinks and some non-sugary snacks which you can of course follow up with some CANDY!!\n\nHave fun and don't forget your insulin.", "They also have some decently priced snacks here, including cheese fries (not on the menu, but you can request it!). \n\nNote that everything comes out of a microwave, but its still a cheap place to get a snack, especially if you have little ones and don't feel like spending an arm and a leg!", "We stopped for some ice cream during our Virginia City visit. I liked they offered both commerical ice cream but also ice cream \"homemade\" from a local Lake Tahoe dairy. Various eye appealing candies line the walls and counters and this store like many have lined the walls with local history. The employees were friendly and the prices were fair (priced for tourists). I'd go back :)", "Fudge, lots and lots of FUDGE. They have all kinds of flavors and don't mind giving you a sample or two :) they also have pre bagged candy all over the place. If you want it they just may have it.\n\nYou can smell the sweet scent from down the road. Once you enter the store your eyes almost pop out of your head with excitement. I walked away spending a pretty penny but my sugar high feels well worth it.", "I stopped at Red's a few days ago while cycling through virginia city. There was a closed sign up at 11am but the front door was open so I headed in. There were no other customers inside and there was rap playing through the sound system. I asked if they were open, a young lady told me they were. I walked over to the counter to order some food and the guy there stared at me for a good 30 seconds without saying a word. I said hey to him and he turned and walked away without responding. The girl that was working came over from the other side of the store and took my order. As she was getting my food ready, the guy, I think his name was Curtis, was throwing boxes around complaining about how, \"Nobody does SHIT in this place besides me, that's why I can't go home early\". The girl kept calling him boss so I'd assume he's a supervisor or manager. I took my food and ate outside, I won't be heading back.", "I got a caramel apple from here. The caramel was not tasty and the apple was too soft, like mushy. When I asked the guy behind the counter if the popcorn was fresh, he didn't even look at me. He continued what he was doing and said \"this morning.\" I guess I gave them two stars because they had deep fried candy bars like at fairs. Maybe next time I'll try one : /", "BINGO! A perfect treat for the old western stroll down the boardwalk. Been here 2 times and both were delightful.", "Visually this place is great, once you get past that its not so great. I got a mixed bag of salt water taffy, my gf got a bag of turtles chocolates, and an ice cream cone. The ice cream was okay but once we got home we realized the taffy was rock hard and the chocolates tasted ancient. The two teenagers working there were less than happy to help. I would never go back here." ]

I love the variety of vegetables you can choose for your bowl. \n\nThe restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly and polite! \n\nThey don't have any soft drinks.

It was large and healthy and they adjust to what you want to add or take out of it. I went both days with the Signature salad but day one had chicken (no extra charge) and day two added zoodles, their take on zucchini \nWith Ahi Tuna $3 upcharge. Wow what a great lunch and large portion. If i lived near by this would be a staple for me as i eat out everyday. They had 4 choices of ice tea which was great as i do not like bubbles in my drinks. Hope this place comes to West Palm Beach area soon. Next time i can make it i will definitely try the wraps and bowls.", "SoFresh is phenomenal! The food was fresh and terrific with the variety of healthy selections on the menu. Outside sitting absolutely add value to SoFresh! The is my second time coming here during my lunch break and will be a regular. Try the Skinny Bowl is my choice!", "Better experience at this new location than my first visit at the S Tampa location. The basil pesto wrap with chicken was pretty good, as was the hibiscus tea. A variety of options for every type of eater (carnivore, vegan, vegetarian). Service was great, prices are reasonable.

[ "A weird statement... but on the fly years ago, I ordered their banana pudding. If you're one of the few people under the age of 65 that enjoys such a delicacy, I'd recommend this place instantly.\n\nTheir other food is very run of the mill. It's better to sit in than most West Philly pizza shops, but it's that vanilla wafered homemade banana pudding that has me and Gwen saying, \"That ish is bananas\" b-a-n-a-n-a-s.", "FIESTA i love you. Not because your pizza is amazing, which is isn't, but rather because you are exactly what a neighborhood pizza place should be. There are kids running around, ice cream, plastic booths, a certain level of shabbiness, and a light film of pizza oil over everything in the restaurant. I love going here and sitting in one of the booths in the summer after taking a neighborhood walk, eating a slice of pizza, and feeling like i am 14 again in my home town pizza place. No caliber of better pizza in the neighborhood could stop me from frequenting fiesta pizza. it truly is a party.", "For real, the mini strombolli hits the spot. And it's way cheap. Fiesta suffers the same fate alot of pizza places in West Philly suffer. An over loaded menu. So for the things Fiesta does really good in, there are host of bad plates. Oh, and the ATM never works..", "It's called Fiesta Pizza because it's a party in my mouth (I really should marketing some of these one-liner's). As Rachel sums up I don't love it because the pizza is amazing (it's kind of far from it).But I love it because it's a neighborhood pizza joint that offers a lot of things that I would never expect to order a neighborhood pizza joint.\n\nBefore Fiesta Pizza I never thought I'd be able to order shrimp stir fry at a pizza joint. But I saw it on the menu and was feeling kind of adventurous so figured why not? And it was so huge that it hooked up 2 meals worth of shimp, rice, carrots, peas, onions, and more goodness. So in a lot of ways it was the perfect meal(s) for less than $8. As Dan says the menu is overloaded, it's so overloaded that they actually really need to give their take out menu a good update. But in a lot of ways so many options aren't entirely a bad thing.", "Don't be daunted by the numerous and incongruous menu items; you have every right to be somewhat hesitant when the same kitchen that advertises itself as a pizzeria also claims it can make shrimp teriyaki, egg salad, and fish and chips. . . but if you stick to pizza and pizza-related items (I'm gonna go ahead and put my endorsement on the veggie mini stromboli), you should be fine. I'm not saying that anything on the menu will blow you away--in fact, Fiesta exhibits above average mediocrity--but as far as pizza joints in West Philly go, it doesn't get much better than Fiesta, though it tends to get quite a bit worse. The aforementioned strombolis can take 10 or 15 minutes even when the place is seemingly dead, so call ahead, or bring some quarters for Pacman.", "BEWARE!!!!!!This is by far the nastiest food and service I have ever received in Philly!!!!! The food was soggy and gross. I ate only a small portion and ended up sick. I called and spoke with the manager he was extremely rude and unwilling to make things right with the order. I will never order here again and I suggest you skip this place all together and save your money or spend it somewhere where they actually value their customers and take pride in their food and service.", "Not sure if this place really has good food but I'm bias since I've grown up eating at this place. My dad's dental office is right next door so it was always very convenient for me to eat there! \n\nFiesta pizza special!!! I love how they pile on the fresh veggies and how the crust is always the right crispyness :) other than i've had the cheesesteak which is pretty good!\n\nCheck it out if you live in the area! I love them! But like I said I'm just a bit bias. I don't think you will find better in the ghettos of W. Philly :)", "Went here before seeing a show at Curio Theatre, and I loved it! My friend and I both got ourselve mini pizzas (they don't do slices) and it was delicious! my other two friend both got milkshakes that made me very excited that it's milkshake season! The service was friendly and fast and... yea if you're in the area you should probably go... and see a show at Curio Theatre... just saying", "I can't really add much more to what has already been said on here but in terms of delivery foods, Fiesta has the BEST wings in west philly. And i've tried ever delivery pizza place that university city has to offer.", "\"Meh. I've experienced better.\" barely encapsulates Fiesta's extreme level of mediocrity. They should be utterly ashamed of the chicken gyro they served me. Watery sauce, limp lettuce, overly-spicy, and greasy, and those were the good points. Ugh. I don't even like reliving the memory. After that experience, I'm not willing to go back and give them another shot. If I need greasy goodness, Best House is much better.\nTo sum up: For the $5 and change it takes to buy a bad gyro at Fiesta, take your hungry tummy over to Fu Wah's and get a sandwich or tofu hoagie and make your mouth happy." ]

[ "First time since they opened. The restaurant overall was very inviting and the music was on the indie side of pop. Liked it very much. Ordered the firecracker shrimp and egg rolls, both were perfectly prepared. The shrimp was not over done and the spring roll wrapper was a unique touch. The dipping sauces were light and flavorful. Ordered the Pad Thai and managed to get it with their crispy duck. By far one of the best duck Pad Thai's I've eaten. Perfectly prepared and the duck was tender but still a nice crisp to it. The coconut ice cream for dessert topped off the evening and we both enjoyed it immensely. You'd think with all that food we'd be bloated but everything was prepared so well that we left full and happy. Definitely will be going back and looking forward to trying everything on the menu at least once or more.", "Wow. \n\nKao Thai Kitchen is not your typical Thai restaurant. Kao is more of an upscale Thai restaurant. The atmosphere is romantic, clean and extremely nice. They are in the former Da Sesto location. However, they definitely changed it and made it their own. \n\nWhen you receive the menu, it looks like your typical thai food. Prices are slightly higher than a lot of similar restaurants. However, when the food arrives you forget about all of that. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees. \n\n-Fried dumplings - 5/5 - Wow. These are unlike any fried dumplings that I have ever had. Make sure you view my pictures. These little fried pockets of deliciousness were perfect with the savory soy dipping sauce. It will be hard not to order these again. Definitely worth the $8.\n \n-Rama (with beef) - 5/5 - This was my entree. I wasn't sure what I wanted when I walked in, but this peanut butter dish jumped out at me from the menu. I ordered it medium (which is semi spicy). This is the best peanut butter sauce I have ever had. I will come back again and again just for this sauce. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It comes with broccoli and baby corn and a meat of your choice. I tried beef this time. I may have dreams about this dish. \n\n-Pork Ribs Panang Curry - 5/5 - My Husband's dish. He loved it! I had a bite of the ribs and they were really flavorful and well cooked. He did mention that the meat was slightly fatty, but he doesn't mind that. The vegetables were a little al dente for his tastes, but he liked the ribs and curry enough to still give it 5 stars. \n\n-Coconut ice cream - 5/5 - They surprised us with a special treat of coconut ice cream with jellies and beans. The beans...meh. They are mostly for texture. You can't really taste beans. I would prefer it without. The jellies were really good and gave your palate a break from the coconut ice cream. The coconut ice cream was SO good. It definitely has a nice coconut flavor. It is creamy and smooth. The perfect dessert after a spicy thai dinner. \n\nWe will definitely be back to Kao. I am hoping that they do really well. We had a discussion after dinner and decided that this was a different type of Thai food. It doesn't compare to other Thai restaurants in the way that a burger fast food place does not compare to a gourmet burger spot. We will add this in to our rotation for sure. Until then, I will dream of that peanut butter sauce.", "This is the best Thai restaurant we have ever been to. They recently opened and they should have a waiting list, they are that good. The Southern Thai Noodles were amazing. The Duck salad was flavorful and the duck was tender with the perfect crispness. Definitely will be here again.", "Let's me start, by saying I'm Thai, and this place will be my new favorite Thai restaurant. The decor reminds me of high-end restaurants in big cities. Service is excellent. The owner came out to greet us. The best part is the food! We ordered Rama and Chiang Mai Curry Noodles. I inhaled the noodles as it was so delicious and authentic. I have never seen this dish being served in Thai restaurants around Pinellas county. I'll definitely bring my friends here to explore more dishes.", "It was the perfect little casual dinner for us - fried chicken with rice and a curry with noodles and pickled greens - all quite tasty. Started with some refreshing garden rolls and finished by splitting coconut ice cream topped with beans and jelly. They pay a lot of attention to the look of a dish, as well as the taste - it was a very pleasant surprise, and we will be back.", "Excellent food! Very cool decor. Best thai in the Pinellas park area. Well worth the trip if you live anywhere in bay area!", "First time checking out this new Thai Restaurant in Pinellas Park for lunch and I enjoyed it. Had a little mishap with my appetizer, ordered their wings and it was still cold in the middle, informed the server she was very polite and accommodating without making it an issue. She apologized gave me a fresh order and didn't charge me for the inconvenience. That kind of customer service will make me come back along with the tasty good. \n\nFood: Apps,Ordered Crispy wings, very flavorful and moist. Hubby had Tom Kha with chicken very coconutty. \n\nEntree: Panang ribs which are slowed cooked and marinated for 4 hours was very tasty and crispy yet fall off the bone tender. Hubby had Shrimp with broccoli in garlic sauce also yummy. \n\nDecor: Nice, clean and inviting decor but a little dim with Edison bulbs throughout restaurant. \n\nService: Outstanding! \n\nOnly thing I would suggest is a better spice tray that includes fish sauce with fresh chilis. We asked and she brought out a whole bowl which was above and beyond our expectation. Really looking forward to trying out more dishes. \n\nSide note we eat very spicy food and normally get Thai Hot but since it was our first time there we ordered Hot and it was perfect.", "Crispy fried duck pad Thai was excellent. It was an up charge because they used the dang PRD yang duck to make it crispy. The fried dumplings were delicious. I ordered the chicken wing appetizer. I was pleasantly surprised to find they were full sized wings. Cooked very well (not in the terms of well done). Nat, our server was a pleasure. Like a beautiful sunshine. She allowed me to try the curry sauce before I ordered and had such a sweet and attentive demeanor. \n\nOur meal finish with coconut ice cream which was delicious! We will be back.", "This Thai restaurant is very different from every other Thai in st Pete , it's look super clean and best services, the foods are in the right potion and most of all so signature of their own style, the location is in the middle of town near park boulevard, If you like Thai food this place is one of the best for you, I am absolutely coming back.", "Great little Thai place with a fresh look. Want Thai food but getting a little tired of dried lifeless Pad Thai. This is your place to step outside of your comfort zone be rewarded by some new age Thai food. Reasonable prices and cool atmosphere, good service are a plus. We will be returning for sure." ]

The service was a little slow, but I think that is to be expected with new restaurants. We'll be going back.", "Stopped in on a Monday evening had some time to kill while waiting on a meeting. The staff is hometown sweet and anxious to please and with the extremely small crowd probably bored stiff. This is a bar with a few tables that hasn't changed from the previous iterations of this space. \n\nThe cocktail menu is varied and interesting with some \"smoked\" options that look worth the try and there is a good selection of beer as well. \n\nHad the PC burger and made sure to order it medium well as the fella sitting at the bar was complaining about his being raw - he sent it back and the cook to his credit came out and apologized. The burger was a nicely charred half pound patty cooked perfectly on a nicely toasted bun - I had mine with Swiss and the fixing - juicy and delicious!! Side of serviceable tator tots (extra $) rounded out the meal. \n\nThe meal was well prepared and served quickly - the girls kept my drink full and were attentive. Appreciated the owner stopping by to see how the meal was. \n\nSo why three stars??? They don't accept American Express- this seems like a ridiculous way to save a few pennies. Second they suffer from the same affliction every establishment that has ever been in this location - it's downtown PC - it's asleep, not vibrant no energy and this location in particular seems to continue suffering from extreme lack of ambience. Final beef there was a party with a couple young kids - loud, running around out of control- normally I don't dock for this but they seemed to be relatives or friends of the staff... final issue dessert sounded delicious but wait staff never offered - hmm missed opportunity \n\nGood burger!!", "WELL WELL WELL!!! We've got a new gem in Plant City. We were doing some business late afternoon & checked yelp to find someplace different to get a bite to eat. I had read about Strawberry Tap a few weeks ago so we decided to check it out. \nIt's a quaint, clean , fresh, family & veteran owned establishment. \nI ordered a \"law dawg\" old fashioned for my wife that I read about in a previous yelp rating and she loved it. Then we both ordered the Plant City burger. OMG!! It was like eating a steak. It was the best burger I've had in a restaurant. The buns are baked at La Segunda bakery in Ybor. The crispy tater tots are a nice change from fries. \nThey have monthly features that the owner, Brian, names after people he served with in the military. They change the menu monthly to keep it fresh. Some items are unique & creative but not weird. There are several TV's around to give it a sports bar feel. There were families there as well as a few people at the bar having drinks. The music was not so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation.

I cannot wait to see this place jam packed soon because everyone is getting a taste of this place. Every time we've been they remember who we are and what we ordered.

I had a local ipa from green bench and sampled one of their smoked cocktails called the smoked apple boubon and it was amazing‼ Its worth it to come just for the craft beer tap list and smoked cocktails but their menu looked amazing too.

Creative combination of flavors. Drinks exceeded my expectations. Service could use improving. Ordered two different options, with two different sides. Got the same option with two different sides. However, this was quickly resolved by removing the fee from the tab, offering it as a free take home, and providing the correct option. Also forgot we had ordered a second round of drink. Perhaps writing things down would work better. Will still be back for the food and drinks!", "The Elvis sandwich was pretty unreal. The banana on top really made it a unique and tasty experience.

If it's your first time, I'll give some pointers...use the touch screens. I find that the technology is a nice touch to a more modern vibe. The food is healthy and very refreshing...the service, not so much, but they're new so I'll cut them some slack. Considering the fact that it's on the Main Line, the snooty people pushing through and bumping you doesn't surprise me. Dogs are allowed outside but there's no covered seating so on days like today, you'll enjoy your food while melting. They have a lot of kinks to work out, but I'm sure after they get through the motions of being the new spot in town, it'll all be just fine :)", "I have been waiting for this spot to open for months and today I finally visited after it opened about two weeks back. To start off, parking is brutal in Bryn Mawr and Bryn Mawr village is no different. I was here around 11:30am today and found one of two available spots in the entire lot. I ordered on their touch screen monitors, also where you pay and pick up your order number stand. The seating is modern, comfortable. The room is a great size with super high ceilings and a ton of plants, both in the ground and installed in pots around the room. The environment is amazing and feels like you're in a cool cafe in Los Angeles. The front large pane of doors opens all the way to expose Lancaster Ave and some outdoor seating. Staff is incredibly friendly and service was not super fast considering there were only 4 others in the store. \n\nNow onto the order. I ordered a build your own wrap with their healthy wrap, baked chicken, avocado, turkey bacon, lettuce, onions, low fat mozzarella, and buffalo sauce. This wrap was super filling to the point that I only finished half of it. I also got a side order of baked sweet potatoes fries and an iced coffee with almond milk and natural agave sweetener. My total order was about $14, which is on the more expensive end for \"fast food\" but the quality of the product will bring me back!", "Excellent customer service. Told manager I had a peanut allergy- he was very accommodating.", "After much anticipation I finally got to the newly opened Bryn and Danes - it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and very fresh. The ambiance is very welcoming and makes for a pleasant dining experience. \n\nThe only way to order is to use the touch screen kiosks. The kiosks are pretty cool and easy to use. The only downside is that there are only 3. The only way to view the menu is through the kiosks so it takes people a long time to place their order. They definitely need to display the menu somewhere else and to add additional kiosks. \n\nLong lines aside- I will definitely return again!", "I'm here right now, and I'm blown the hell away! I know of the Bryn and Dane's around Abington (or Horsham?) and it's got a more store-like feel to it, didn't seem as special... but I liked their food. Then they opened the one here.... WOW. I mean, wow! The exterior and interior designs of this place is wonderful, simple, and fresh. The kiosk idea is great, except it leaves little room to make certain customizations, otherwise easy going. I love their food! I do wish they show a nutritional facts chart or something, because their food is amazing!", "The food was absolutely delicious. Very fresh, quality produce.", "Finally gave this new Lancaster Ave restaurant a try. Having watched the construction for months, we were excited about it's potential. The space is really attractive and bright. That's where the good things end.\n\nMy electronic menu/ordering device was not accepting credit cards, so I had to reorder using a different machine. My partner and I ordered two wraps, one with sweet potato fries and one with side salad and each got an iced tea.\n\nThe food came quickly, but the teas took almost 10 minutes to be delivered, well halfway through our meal. \n\nThe sweet potato fries were inedible. Half of them were raw and the other half were cooked slightly, but completely mushy and slimy. \n\nThe 'side salad' is a small bowl of wilting mixed greens with NOTHING ELSE. No carrot, no onion, no tomatoes, nothing. It was dressed with what tasted like pure vinegar. \n\nThe wraps were made with cheap ingredients (like the cold, pre cut chicken strips sold in the grocery store and canned orange slices). The mexican inspired wrap had a 'chipotle' sauce on it that had a weird bitter flavor. I am a huge chipotle fan, and found it to be quite bad.\n\nThe food here was so bad I thought I might have been getting punked. It was quite honestly one of the worst lunches I've ever had and was somehow $14/person. \n\nThe highlight of the meal was the peach black tea and the organic ketchup.", "Just got takeout from here. The food was so bad, it tasted like it was from a hospital cafeteria. \n\nThe Tennessee Bleu wrap might as well have been unsalted mozzarella sticks wrapped in a tortilla for all the flavor it had. And the quesadilla survived one bite before I threw it aside (literally, ask my wife) . And this coming from a guy who will eat anything you put in front of him. \n\nHow can a place have such nice interior design, a fancy logo, and their own kombucha, and still have food that tastes like a half-microwaved frozen dinner?\n\nGuys, you did a good job on the decor, location, and branding. Now for goodness sake, do something about the food.", "First Bryn and Dane's experience was positive! The storefront and interior are absolutely beautiful, so open and airy. My partner and I sat just inside, so our dog could have some shade, and the staff was nice enough to bring us a water bowl for him! \nThe touch screen ordering is very efficient and our food was out quickly. \nFor now I'm going to give the food a 3.5/5 stars. I tried the Rickshaw sesame and was pleased but not blown away. Everything tasted very fresh but the sauce was a little bland, and the aesthetic was off. The wrap was falling apart as soon as I removed it from the foil wrapping. Also curious why it was wrapped up when we were dining in, but no biggie. \nI enjoyed the side salad, but it was swimming in the while balsamic vinegar which is overpowering when used heavy-handed. The highlight of the meal was the sweet potato fries- awesome! \nI loved the iced coffee, could it be from la colombe next door? Great brew! \nHaving said all of that, for about $12 (if you do the combo) you get a ton of very fresh and relatively healthy food. I will be back to try again, and maybe grab a smoothie too!", "I stopped by recently since this place looks very cool from the outside and I thought I could get something I could take back to my office. I ordered soup from one of the touch screens and paid for it there as well. No human contact there and I am sure their clientele does not mind since they all look so self-absorbed that they are oblivious to others around them. After 10 minutes of waiting for my soup I tried to get the attention of a server and they all seemed to be doing their best to avoid having to look or speak to any customers. I finally was able to ask a server about my soup and she said they had to make \"a fresh batch\" and it would be \"awhile\". No \"Sorry for the inconvenience\" offered and her attitude was like, what's the big deal. I said I could not wait for a \"fresh batch\" and said I had to leave. Later I emailed corporate and, after saying \"Sorry about that\", all the customer service rep wanted to know was what time of day did this happen? I sent them a copy of my receipt with the time on it and never heard from them again. I foolishly expected a refund but that may take \"awhile\", if ever. I will never go back there unless I have an hour to kill and I need a break from all human contact. I have never trashed a place before but figured they fully deserve one." ]

[ "Finally, a real Mexican restaurant in Phoenixville. Good prices, tasty food, standard selection. Ambiance -- well, it's \"authentic,\" meaning bright fluorescent lights, white walls, travel posters, and you won't hear much English being spoken. Try the chilis rellenos. They're my favorite so far. Portions here are rational in size: not exactly enormous (i.e., smaller than customary for average U.S. eateries), but should satisfy most appetites. Staff is very friendly.", "The tacos are great and carnitas are wonderful if eaten on premises or taken a short distance (they do not travel well).\n\nThey have Menudo on the weekends, which is quite good. Its a huge portion, so dont order a lot of other stuff if you plan to get it.\n\nLarge selection of Mexican soft drinks and horchata.", "My wife and I went for dinner tonight. We missed going on my birthday on the 21st, so we were happy to discover that the carnitas were indeed good. I took home the enchiladas rojas, but also had tacos lengua (tongue) which passed the test with flying colours!\n\nThe rice was average, as were the frijoles, the chips were good. The pico de gallo could have used more cilantro, as it was a little bland. Service was good.\n\nAs mentioned, it is also a take out place but it does have a few tables for those who want to dine in. It was quite clean, as well, which is a plus.... Lunch specials are $5.75, BTW.\n\nUpdate on 8-16-08: \n\nStopped in for lunch last week and ordered, again, from the back of the menu (Mexican as opposed to Tex-Mex).\n\nI had another taco lengua, and this time I tried a tamale filled with pork.\nThe filling was great. The masa was not quite as tasty as some I've had (or made) but it was decent nonetheless.\n\nThe third item I had was a sope with carnitas, cheese and lettuce and \"sour cream\" on top. That was quite good. \n A sope, in case you haven't tasted one yet, is a little disc of fried masa with toppings. \nHere is a link to try them at home:\nhttp://marcsala.blogspot.com/2006/06/mexican-sopes-step-by-step.html", "Not impressed at all.\n\nStaff was more interested in staring at my date then getting my order.\nFood was just ok. \nI gave it a second chance with a friend and still not impressed.", "Authentic, tasty, lovely Tex-Mex with a wonderful atmosphere. \n\nI was lucky enough to have lived down the street from Los Mariachis, so was able to take advantage of my location to try many different dishes. I was never disappointed. The chorizo is tasty without being too salty, the sauces and dips are fresh, the chips are amazing. The frijoles refritos are average, as well as the arrroz, but to be honest, I don't expect those things to steal the show.\n\nMy favorites are the chimichangas, the chorizo nachos, and the chips and salsa they serve to everyone. The salsa is a delightfully fresh experience that I encourage everyone to try. \n\nIf you dig flan, try it here, I promise you will not be disappointed. The portion is huge, melts in your mouth, and will leave you wanting more.\n\nLos Mariachis also carries a great selection of Mexican sodas. If you're into trying new drinks, I'd suggest starting with the Orange or Apple sodas.\n\nThe family running the place are very sweet and will answer any questions you have about a plate. Don't forget to check out the Guadalupe painting on the rear wall for a glimpse of a unique use of spray paint.\n\nThis is a great food alternative to all the yuppy hangouts in Phoenixville, and totally worth the going the three blocks off of Bridge Street to enjoy.", "An authentic and amazingly delicious experience! I felt as if I was in a local restaurant in Mexico. The food was great and the service was right on. Will make this a regular spot! If you want to bring a 6 pack of Coronas, it's BYOB as well.", "I love Mexican food and Los Mariachis did not disappoint.\n\nMy favorite is the chicken Enchiladas de Mole served with rice and refried beans. If you are not sure what you want, try the Mexican Platter (2 sopas, 2 enchiladas, 2 mini quesadillas and 2 stuffed peppers) also served with rice and refried beans.\n\nThey also have a reasonably priced lunch menu ( around $5.75) and you get plenty!", "Great lunch specials here! The menu has a lot of great stuff, but to the point where it is overwhelming especially if you don't speak Spanish. I never heard of half the stuff on there.\n\nI bet this would be a great place to watch the World Cup. I'll have to wait 4 more years I guess.", "Eh. Nothing special. Could have gone to Qdoba for fresher food. The tamales were horrible though! I like good tamales, and these were dry, and one of the \"pork\" tamales didn't even have meat in it.", "Strangely enough, it's not easy to find good mexican food in this area. Qdoba, Chipotle and the like are all well and good for lunch, but if you want to find the real deal it's sort of hard to come by. Los Mariachis is a great place to get some good, cheap mexican take out. I'm a big taco fan, so I got 3 tacos (spicy pork, al pastor, and tongue) and all 3 were great and flavorful and 2 bucks a piece. Awesome deal.\nWe also tried some of the stuffed pepper, enchiladas, and tex mex tacos (which I think are more \"americanized\" tacos with flour tortillas), and all was very good.\nSo, they're not reinventing the wheel here or anything, and it's not trying to pass itself off as some fancy pants restaurant, but this place is a great go to place to get Mexican." ]

Fortunately I live just a few minutes away, close enough that I swear I can smell the smoke from my house. I've had the mullet three times, so the other day I decided I better try something else. I had the smoked chicken dinner and honey, it was so juicy and yummy. For sides, I've had the mac and cheese, rib rice, collard greens and topped off my last two meals with a slice of that fabulous sweet potato pie. Everything is so good and fresh, I just can't say enough about Sims, so you better get down here and check it out for yourselves!\n\nAs soon as the weather cools down a bit I'm coming with two friends and we're going to share the BIG Snow Crab & Shrimp Platter- 9 clusters, 20 shrimp, 8 potatoes, 8 eggs and 4 corn. Yeah, that should fill us up just fine.", "Great food, great price, great service and Great people. Never disappointed. Not only is the food great but the sweet tea and lemonade are too.", "Went here when I saw the sign for smoked mullet. I had been out of Florida for 8 years and missed good BBQ and mullet. When I stopped for the mullet I saw that they have proper smokers that burn wood and operate at 200 degrees, low and slow which is the only way to do BBQ right. I have been 5 times and always call ahead. I have been to dozens of BBQ joints and I am thrilled to be back in the land of great BBQ from Big John's and First Choice to To the Bone. BUT Sim's also has awesome mullet and crawfish. Ribs, chicken, and pork excellent as well as the collards. I have not tried the crabs and shrimp yet but the mullet spread is wonderful. It is a food truck with covered outside dining. I go every chance I get.", "If you are looking \"real food\", this food truck is the place.

The owners r amazing and I'm really glad they set up on Dr. MLK!! Thank u", "I would like to start this review with one word... AMAZING!! The owners are so friendly and engaging from the moment we walked up. It took us a few minutes to decide, but when we finally did we couldn't wait for it to be ready. I had 1lb of brisket. It was so amazingly prepared it cut with a plastic fork. The sauce was an amazing BBQ and mustard sauce. It was accompanied by a generous helping of brisket rice. Wu wife and daughter split a crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, corn and hard boiled egg dinner. It was such a generous portion of crab legs and shrimp, both were more than satisfied with their dinners. The butter seasoning was on all the items and it totally worked!! Please stop and try this place out. You won't be disappointed.", "Snow Crab platter was on point came with potatoes , boiled egg and corn on the cob. The only reason it is not five stars is the crab came out warm. Given the fact I did come an hour before closing time. I would imagine if you came midday when it is fresh to semi-fresh it would be some of the best crab around. Beats out Joes Crab shack and Red Lobster , especially at their prices.", "Great BBQ. Excellent seasoning and smokey flavor. I've had the ribs, chicken and pulled pork. They also have seafood but I haven't tried it. The owners and staff are very friendly. The mac n cheese is dope. I could eat a slab of ribs all by myself. The BBQ sauce is spot on too.", "This is my new favorite BBQ place. By far the best ribs I've had...and I've tried ribs in many states. Friendly service and great food. I was here yesterday for Lent Friday and the Shrimp and Grits was better than the Shrimp Boat in Bloomingdale area (which was my favorite place for that). Today I came back for some meat and it was phenomenal. Ribs and turkey fell right off the bone. I love Trust Me BBQ on 301 (best peach cobbler) and this place beats it for sure...and beats the food truck on 60 after Brandon Ford...no joke!!! Turkey Rice and Mac & Cheese were great as well. My sister and father in law both said this place was good and they weren't lying!!! It is awesome. Clean outdoor eating area too with a port-a-potty in case you need to go.", "Went on a weekday at almost closing, and we were still accommodated like it was earlier in the day. They still had everything on the menu, and everything came out fresh. They accepted the $5 off Yelp check in offer, as well as the free side item. We ordered the rib dinner and the crab legs and shrimp. That dish was amazing. There was this awesome garlic butter that was poured over the legs, shrimp, potatoes and eggs. What an odd combination, but as other Yelpers said, it worked! While we were waiting for our order, about 10 cars came through to pick up take out orders. This must be the popular way to go, but we didn't mind waiting. The most thoughtful and convenient perk is that there is a cooler filled with water and hand soap to wash your hands if you enjoy your meal at one of their sheltered picnic tables. What a great idea!! After tearing into those crab legs, I definitely wondered how I was going to clean all of that goodness off my hands! Please make your way out to Sims. You won't be dissappointed!" ]

Can't get enough of the freshly prepared food and friendly atmosphere. I especially love the steak burrito - huge and delicious! This is the third restaurant at this location and at last, this one is worthy of our patronage. My husband and I never leave hungry. So if you are in the mood for good, authentic mexican food - be prepared for large portions - this is the place to go.", "Excellent service and food. I don't think I've had such attentive friendly service in a long time. We just moved down the street and we will definitely be eating here again. Not sure why it doesn't have more positive reviews, so I felt compelled to write one. You definitely won't be disappointed.", "I am really surprised at a couple of bad reviews on here. I suggest those people try it again. Every single time I eat here and I go often the food is fresh and delicious. I have tried many different items and everything is excellent. It is hard to not order the flan every time even though I am way to full to eat it. Also the re fried beans are probably the best I have ever had. I will also echo the earlier reviews about the service - this is a family owned restaurant and they could not be nicer people. If you had a bad experience, try again.", "I'm not a fan at all. The food is overpriced and not very good at all. We have been several times because I keep wanting to try and hope that it gets better as I love supporting family owned businesses.", "Friendly staff, but the food wasn't as great. When I ordered a beef burrito, I got ground beef and it was some pink ground beef.. ???? I changed my order to a chicken burrito, but it wasn't as tasty. Not worth it for the price.", "If you are in Temple Terrace and crave excellent Mexican food, you need to visit Tequila. The homemade salsa with their tortilla chips before the main course is excellent. The service is quick and top notch. My wife and I have not had an unpleasant experience there in the 6-8 times there and will continue to visit.", "My boyfriend I had driven by this place a lot, and he always talked about how he wanted to check it out, so we did. We were the only guests at that time, the server was friendly, we ordered drinks, she brought them, along with chips with salsa. She proceeded to ask if we wanted queso or guacamole, I said queso. We get out entrées, and mine tasted ok, could have used more flavor. Forward to when we get the check, and there's an item for 3.95. We ask, and it was the queso. The amount of cheese that she gave us was about 4 tablespoons worth, and she never informed us of the price, nor that it wasn't on the house, like the chips and salsa were. We were bothered at this point, because had we known the petty rip off that she was trying to do, and did, we would not have agreed to her offer. My boyfriend points out to her that she should inform her customers when something is extra, and not on the house. At this point, the waitress starts snapping at him \"what, did you think the cheese was free??\" No, but not $4.00 for such a small amount either. We payed, and left, and she didn't bother to say \"have a good day\" or anything at all, along with mumbling to another employee who came in, clearly about the issue. Uncomfortable and unpleasant experience, we do not recommend it.", "Paid $13 for strip tacos that were nothing but a few pieces of shrimp and a tortilla. The staff seemed nice enough but the food was beyond over priced. Won't be going back.", "I love the food. It is prepared fresh and it is a friendly family owned business. The prices are reasonable IF you get a dish that comes with sides. If you get something like the Chimichanga then you have to order sides and then it gets pricey. I wish their salsa were more chunky because it is good but it is very watery. All in all I will keep eating here because their food is fresh and delicious and I always support small business.", "The food is more like a 4, and you have to choose knowledgeably to get there, because some choices are better than others. (The tamales are especially good, though our family prefers them without the sauce they put on top.) But this place is a 5 because this is a really nice family willing to get to know their customers so they can learn to do what makes those customers happy. An added benefit is when you get to be seated by the little girls, who are so proud of themselves when they do so. This is exactly the kind of homey restaurant one wants in a small community like Temple Terrace" ]

Their shakes are absolutely to die for as everyone will attest to. \n\nWhile I've never been to another Chic-Fil-A, I've been to my fair share of fast food restaurants in the past (I don't really eat fast food anymore) and this place really sets itself apart by delivering personalized, friendly service.

The family who runs the shop is nice enough, and I will admit that their chicken tenders are pretty good. That being said, the pizza is pretty underwhelming, but I got it every now and then because it's hard to go wrong with 2 small-ish slices for $1.25...just don't expect something that tastes amazing. I haven't tried anything else in the restaurant, but it was a nice place to grab a quick and convenient bite. But if you wanted pizza, you could always swing by Allegro's, and there were plenty of pubs around if you wanted that kind of food. It's quick, simple, and cheap, but don't expect anything more than what you pay for.", "We went with a half veggie (with red sauce) and half anchovies and mushroom. The anchovies were as advertised, salty, but blended nicely with the mushrooms. The crust was chewy and there was a nice (about 50/50) blend of cheese to sauce.

Being a pizza-snobby New Yorker, I suffered when I came to Philly for want of good pizza. Then I discovered New Style. Don't get me wrong; I don't consider New Style to be the same type of pizza as a Brooklyn slice. It's good in it's own special way. The crust is really like nothing I've had anywhere else before, and that's what makes it so special to me.

Also, the sauce is a lot less acidic than other area pizzerias for those of you with sensitive stomachs.", "New Style is one of the numerous pizza/italian combo shops that cover most of Philly, but here in University City it is one of the best. \n\nYou can really taste the quality and the freshness of the ingredients when you eat from New Style. The decor is modern and the layout of the store stands out. The store is also seems super clean which definitely gives it an advantage when compared to the other pizza combo shops. \n\nNew Style sells a variety of items ranging from Chicken fingers, pasta, salads, paninis , and of course Pizza.\n\nThe rating I have here is what I grade their Pizza. While the ingredients are fresh and it's not a bad slice, it is not the New York style thin and wide slices that I love in a pizza. Also the pizza is GREASY, one of the more greasier slices that I have had, the grease soaks right through the bottom of the box.\n\nAll in all a lil bit better than A-ok", "Two words, Stuffed Pizza! That is all you need to order. The stuffed cheesesteak pizza was life changing, I had never had a pizza quite like it before. I've lived all over the country eating pizza and loving life. But until I had this pizza my life was incomplete, it's just full of cheese and chopped steak with a crust on top also, wait for it, covered in cheesy goodness! Honestly my only complaint would be their hours, stay open later and you would be my drunk food Mecca!", "8 months ago--now 8/26/11--this was one of the best pizzas I had in West Philly. This was going to be my pizza shop. In the last half year, things have gone downhill tremendously. Late deliveries. wrong orders, etc. Good customer service, but their delivery seems messed up. Tighten it up a bit, and it could be one of--or THE--best place in West.", "In search of the ever-elusive philly pizza, I wandered into New Style Pizza, hoping to find a tasty pie shop in my neighborhood. Maybe I caught them on an off night...but the pizza was so bad that I probably won't go back to test it out." ]

First off, all the smoothies that I have had have been sweetened with Turbinado (which is still in fact sugar just made earlier in the sugar cane processing method, but is processed less, so often viewed as \"healthier\"). I imagine you could request spenda or \"normal sugar\". Secondly, what I believe sets tropical smoothie apart from other smoothie stores is the food. I have tried several of the items from the menu and my favorite is the vegetarian wrap, it's amazing. Everything else I have tried was also very good. As far as the smoothies go, I do not believe there is a better store, Smoothie King comes close and will do in a pinch, but I prefer TS...", "Friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Since the summer started all I seem to crave are smoothies though and this is the only smoothie place downtown (that I know of). They are usually pretty fast (call ahead if you can, it's usually waiting for me in the small freezer at the register when I get there) and each smoothie I've gotten has been delicious. \n\nThey are pretty large though, I wish they sold an inbetween size. On their kid's menu they have a banana chocolate smoothie that is delicious and the perfect size for a snack. \n\nYou can request any smoothie without sugar, which I recommend as the fruit content makes them plenty sweet. You can also sub the sugar for Splenda which I don't recommend because that stuff is nasty. \n\nThe smoothies cost between $4-$5 depending on the flavor (many of the \"indulgent smoothies\" are $5). \n\nTheir food is good too, I've gotten the thai wrap with extra veggies and they never mind when I sub out the meat. Join their \"club\" and get texts for half price smoothies each week.", "My first time in a Tropical Smoothie place, and while the decor was a bit run down, the service was great.

They offer Breakfast and lunch as well as smoothies all day, so it makes for an easy to grab kind of meal.", "This place was a huge relief for my trip to Tampa!\n\nWho knew, staying in the business district of downtown Tampa, also meant that you are limited to walking distance dining options. Whose idea was this?\n\nTropical Smoothie is much more than a place to grab a healthy liquid lunch, but they also have a huge menu of actual food items that are healthy and filling! Twice, I had the veggie wrap with hummus, and also twice, I had their strawberry/lemonade smoothie. As I am typing this review, my mouth is watering for both. Not only is the food absolutely fab, but the staff are just as accommodating, but in a very cool sort of way. They weren't all crazy in my face, but when I asked about nuts (I'm the crazy tree nut allergy girl that restaurants hate), I was reluctant to ask and actually apologized for being high-maintenance. The staff went back and not only checked their own food interactions with nuts, but then checked the labels of the wrap and anything else that may come into contact with tree nuts.

You are NOT a customer!!\" and said that in front of another customer.... Terrible customer service and humiliating experience.

Some pieces of the pizza around the outer edges didn't even have cheese on it. So, a cracker with a bit of sauce was more like it. Did have Rosati's pizza at Largo location and it was delicious! I know the Oldsmar location just opened, perhaps they need to work out the kinks. Probably won't be back for pizza, may try some of their other menu items.

I was hoping it was a dine in restaurant, as I had been to one in Arizona that was a fantastic restaurant/sports bar. Nonetheless, my excitement remains. \n\nWe felt we wouldn't do Rosati's justice without ordering some deep dish pizza on our first visit. A simple sausage & pepperoni deep dish was cheesy with a buttery crust. Simply delicious. We wanted to try a couple of appetizers as well so we got the onion rings and pizza bread. The onion rings came with a great side of ranch. The pizza bread was delicious but not something that I would order again if I was getting pizza. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that it tasted yummy! \n\nAnother perk was that while looking at their website, I noticed that they have online ordering and if you register you receive 20% off your first order!

I was excited to try the new one that had just opened up in oldsmar. When I arrived workers were strange and non-attentive. As I waited for my pizza in excitement it slowed as I took my first bite, was terrible. I don't know who cut the pizza first of all because it looked like they were drunk while cutting it. The pizza was barely cooked and service was junk. From a former worker at rosati's a year ago, it's just not the same. Disappointing....", "Very good deep dish pizza from a Chicago based pizzeria. My wife and I had the small deep dish with sausage. A total of six slices. It was enough for two meals. The only disappointment is no inside dining.

There it was, a fantastic looking, great smelling pizza cut into squares, a Chicago thing. (It's not pie, its pizza!) I took the tiny \"taster corner\" on the upper right and was in heaven. Next red light, the lower right taster corner was eaten. Needless to say, my pizza made it home cornerless.(lots of red lights) \nI can not stress enough how good it was, it was for sure a taste of home. The crust, the sauce, everything was just on point! Best pizza I have had in Tampa since I transplanted.\nThis will be the only pizza I ever eat in the future! \n\nWith Rosati's now open, Portillo's open, all that I am missing is El Famous Burritos and I will never have to go back to Illinois!", "Just like home.. pizza was perfect. Taste the same from Chicago down to the cheese, sauce, toppings and crust.. the cheef's were amazing haven't had a real beef since being back home.. Portillos is good and good for other things but not as good as this beef from Rosatis. Cinna sticks were good as well. I never had these before today. Everything was on point will be back for sure!

They are currently a to-go joint with few tables if you want to eat there. The owners said they are planning by next year to expand and have a more confortable dine in area. For now not only is it the only halal chinese in the region, its actually pretty good too! Enjoy!!!", "Awesome customer service and awesome food. I feel so comfortable knowing that the meats are halal, which offers ease of foods-free of pork.", "YES!! Absolute YES! I am very very picky with my chinese food but this place now has my heart! Not only the food is great but it is HALAL. where can you find a halal chinese place in philly? And to top it off, THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have experienced in the asian industry. I can not begin to thank them enough for being so great and for having such great food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!", "This was my first time ordering takeout from this restaurant;\n\nI ordered the chicken pad-see-ew with extra sauce and veggies.\n\nNow, initially I was precautious, since they also service chinese food. but, at this point, I was starving and had set my hearts on having thai food for lunch. (additionally my original spot's closed on mondays :(, so, I decided to make due and give them a try.)\n\nThe pad-see-ew reminded me of chicken and broccoli without the rice. The noodles were overcooked, the sauce was super sweet, there were barely any pieces of broccoli, let alone a medley of veggies. Also, I paid close to $12 for my food, which adds more salty onto the saltiness of this experiences, since I didn't really enjoy it. \n\nAll this to say, this review to soley on the thai food. I've experience better thai within the area; with more authenticity, better taste and large quantities all for under $10. \n\nI'd definitely order chinese from here tho, I can't wait to check out that menu.", "Wow, I don't know what I love more about this family owned place-- the fact that everything is good or that everything is so cheap. \n\nIt's definitely out of the way for me, so I doubt I'll be back any time soon, but on the recommendation of a friend I decided to drive out here and pick up a LOT of chinese food. Somehow the total bill was only about 40 dollars when we ordered a beef and broccoli, general tso chicken, a tofu dish, a crab rangoon (Free with our order! whaaat), a vegetable fried rice, and a lo mein.\n\nI tried everything and it was pretty good. Center City is lacking a halal chinese spot so these guys may just become my go-to, if I can swing the drive.\n\nFood was hot, not very oily, and not overly salty. I feel like those are the easiest offenses to commit when cooking chinese food so they get extra points for avoiding those pitfalls.\n\nThe owners are friendly and helpful. Will definitely try them again.", "This is my go to spot! Great family that works there, very nice and accommodating! Food is incredibly affordable, fresh, delicious, and doesn't have that greasy Chinese food stereotype at all. I usually order their chicken or shrimp with mixed vegetables, or their Basil chicken and shrimp. All very good!", "Wowsers this place was awesome! I was on a road trip back home but was really craving some halal Chinese food. Found this place on yelp and seemed pleased with the reviews, but I don't think the reviews did it much justice. \n\nEVERYTHING we ordered was delicious. The hot and sour soup was the best I've ever had in my life. The beef Lo mein was so tasty and fresh. The chicken fried rice was so flavorful with the rice so fluffy. And the shrimp with garlic sauce was scrumpdiddilyumptious! \n\nHonestly, I was a bit skeptical when I actually saw the place. It was 9pm, it was the only place open on that lot, and it looked like a typical take out place, except it had a small dining area. The staff there were so nice and sweet. We spent about 30 minutes there, and I noticed a lot of customers coming in for take out. They must do well. \n\nThey also have specials like free soup or egg roll with $25 purchase. My husband got the egg roll, but wasn't too impressed with it (disclaimer- that's because I make the best egg rolls :p) \n\nAnyways, I have been dreaming of this place since I left, and I am hoping to make a trip again that lets me pass by this area just so I can get some more of their Lo mein. Seriously, their Lo mein was also the best I've ever had. Noodles were just so plump and the sauce was delicious but didn't make you feel like crap afterwards :)", "Best thing about this place is that I can see how clean their kitchen is from where I order and sit to eat. Their English isnt great so read your menu.", "Awesome spot! This is what your favorite Chinese takeout place would be if it was halal :)", "I rarely Yelp.\n\nMy Yelps are almost always for high quality places that few people know about, I don't usually Yelp angry. I also don't Yelp revenge. This place is really good. It's just an ordinary Chinese place, however the food here is outstanding. I ordered their version of the crab rangoon which they call a cheese wonton, which, like any good addict, I tend to eat no matter how it is. But it was really really nice. Not too fatty. Perfect. In fact, the food here seems a lot lighter than typical Chinese places. \n\nI usually use the wonton soup is a good indication of whether or not the place is decent. Bland, flavorless soup equals bland, flavorless food. Their broth was delightful. Again, it's not too fatty, I kept it in the fridge overnight, and when I took it out the next morning there was no layer of fat at the top. I also had the chicken with garlic sauce. Chicken at a Chinese place can often be hit or miss. And, while theirs is about mid range as far as the actual meat is concerned, the sauce is really really good. Less sweet than typical places. Also, I tried the wings and they were excellent. Flavorful. Not just deep fried frozen pieces of protein and fat. That's what I've gotten used to. \n\nWow, that's sad... \n\nThis place is fantastic. My only real complaint is they don't deliver :-)" ]

My brother lives down the street from this place and raves about it all the time, so I was happy to check it out with him. Hibernia does not dissapoint. We went for breakfast and my bro got the Ulster slam, which has eggs, bangers, Irish bacon, grilled soda bread, a roasted tomato, and grilled soda bread. His girlfriend and I both got the french toast, which is really cinnamony, the way I like it. She got it with scrapple (ew) and I got it with Irish bacon. Pedro is the owner and he seems pretty awesome, and our waitress had a really cute Irish accent.\nSo, seriously, check out the Hibernia. I've heard it's packed on the weekends, and that's understandable, because where else can you get a full Irish breakfast, an Ulster slam, or bangers & mash? Where else can you buy all your British Cadbury treats or my favorite, Lilt soda? Yay Hibernia!", "Went here on St. Patrick's Day and again had a great and huge breakfast. Once again my brother got the Ulster FRY (not slam, as mentioned in my previous review, although I think it would be funnier if it were called the Ulster slam), which has grilled brown bread too in addition to the grilled soda bread. \nI know other people go here -- you can write reviews too. :)", "Had breakfast here November 1 for the first time and was really impressed. Our waitress was really friendly and the food was really good with generous portions and good prices. It was busy and there aren't a lot of tables but we were seated rather quickly. I'd definitely visit this place again.", "This place is just awesome. Simply put, their food is great. We come here about once a week. \n\nMy boyfriend loves the Old Sod burger, a burger topped with Irish bacon. I tend to either get the half traditional Irish Breakfast or the fish and chips with mushy peas. If I get the fish and chips, I always get a side of curry, their curry is spectacular! We order the curry so often they give us extra to take home.\n\nDefinitely try this place, and if you love the food, you can bring some home! They have delicious scones you can take home, black and white pudding, beans, peas, Irish groceries, meat pies, even candy from across the pond. Everyone in here is so nice, they deserve your patronage and you deserve their delicious food!", "Oh no. There's now a small coffee shop within walking distance of our home that stocks every conceivable variety of Cadbury chocolate, fresh scones, and Dairygold Irish butter. There goes my cholesterol count...\n\nThis is a simple, unhurried neighborhood eatery with deli counters, griddles and comfortable booths reminiscent of the luncheonettes of my youth. The coffee is just right, although nothing special. Attentive service and endless refills make up for the lack of sparkle and oomph in their java, though. \n\nYou'll enjoy the French toast which tastes and feels like it's made from a good egg-batter bread like challah. Their breakfasts have substance to them, and it helps that they cook them with Dairygold butter -- a boutique spread you typically find only in high-scale venues like Wegman's and Whole Foods. Using Irish butter makes even a simple side order of scrambled eggs taste special. \n\nThe Hibernia stocks and sells Dairygold, as well as Irish teas (Barry's and Lyons in a startling array of varieties for a small shop), which makes this more than a simple lunch counter. I now know where I'll be doing Christmas shopping for my native Irish friends.\n\nWhat sets the Hibernia apart from other local establishments like Ming's (still our favorite) is that they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have a menu befitting a much larger diner. They even deliver. \n\nThe Hibernia isn't much to look at from the outside. It's in a somewhat down-in-the-mouth strip of stores on Garrett Road within striking distance of the Wawa and Farm Fresh Produce (known to locals as the Italian market) at the intersection of Garrett and Burmont. My family and I walked or drove by this little place for two years before we found the time and the will to venture inside, and now we're very glad that we did.", "One of the best, filling breakfasts I've ever had in the U.S. Don't let the exterior and location (a pretty quiet, unassuming block) full you. This place is the real deal.", "Even though it was lunch time, I chose Colcannon & Bangers from the Dinner Special section of the menu, I was really hungry. It was excellent.\nI get breakfast sandwiches from here regularly, they have never disappointed.\nHighly recommended.", "Great place! Loved the food, staff was really nice and the prices were totally fair. You won't be dissapointed!", "I go to this place as often as I can.

We could not have been happier to see that an Ale House was coming up to Franklin, Tennessee. We went there today and had the double layered chicken nachos, the smoked fish dip, and the zinger mountain melt, along with numerous frosty cold beers. The prices were just as reasonable as we remembered, the staff and management were friendly and polite, just as we were used to. The interior and atmosphere of the restaurant was rustic and amazing, with so many TVs. Our server, \"Burns\" was super friendly, didn't rush us, and was so willing to get us anything we needed.

I grew up with this chain in Florida and I am so thrilled it is in Cool Springs now. Staff is new but great and the food is perfect. It is open until 2:00 am which is perfect for late nights out. Ask for Ariel O as your server. She is so sweet and checks in the perfect amount.\n\nUpdate- this Miller's Ale House does not to carry out. Only giving it a low rating because of this.", "My wife and I decided to give Miller's a try because we were curious about what changes they made to what used to be Logan's. Folks, you will not be disappointed with this new restaurant/sports bar. For sports fans there are several large TV screens with multiple sports events that are visible from the bar seating, tables, and booths. \n\nThis place opened less than a week ago and everything was running smoothly. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, and we noticed an observer/coach that was very involved with the restaurant staff.\n\nWe didn't try any beer or alcoholic drinks, but I did browse through the beer menu and saw plenty of variety for reasonable prices. The beer menu definitely justifies the name of this restaurant. \n\nWe came here for the food, and I was very impressed with my entree. I've always thought that fish and chips entrees are a great standard on which to judge this type of restaurant, and Miller's definitely passed with flying colors! The English Pub Fish and Chips platter was a great value for the money. The fish had a mellow flavor which was greatly complimented by the Samuel Adams beer batter. The fish portion was extremely generous, and matched up to the excellent fish fry platters I've had in my home town by the Great Lakes. The slaw and fries were great, and the only thing that would have improved that entree was a beer. (which I'll definitely get next time!)\n\nFor dessert my wife and I shared the Captain Jack's Buried Treasure, which is an ice cream cake that's a perfect ending for a great meal. This comes with three layers of ice cream with toppings and an Oreo-style cookie crust between the layers. There is also chocolate fudge syrup in the bottom of the bowl for dipping. Absolutely delicious!\n\nMiller's has definitely made our top five list for restaurants in the Cool Springs area. We plan to come back on different days of the week to try some of their daily specials, and may also stop by for a few drinks when the Titans or Preds are playing. They have a lounge area by a fireplace that I'd like to try as well.\n\nWell done Miller's Ale House! You've earned our business!", "NOT ready to open yet. Arrived at 11:40am and was told a 20-30 minute wait for an accessible table. 20 minutes later we overheard another staff member tell the hostess to tell folks the wait was 2 hours. We asked for clarification on our table and no one would even give an answer. Turns out there were only 3 tables that would accommodate a wheelchair being seated. Other tables that would work were ina section not being seated because the weren't enough servers. Maybe we'll try again when they are adequately staffed.", "Customer service customer service customer service!!!! This is what you get when you visit millers ale house!!!!!

Cleaned it up and opened it up some. Looks great. Tvs all over the place so definitely a game day spot. Big variety on the menu. No peanuts on the floor. I could tell the server was new. He did not know the menu but otherwise he was friendly and attentive but not annoying. I had the ribs. Nothing special. They were good but no different than most chain restaurants. Management all over the place making sure things go well. I could tell they still have trainers there too. For being a grand opening they did very well. Welcome to the neighborhood millers.", "First impression wasn't good. It was noon on Gameday Sunday but this is why I went. 4 hours from Atlanta but with 50+ TVs not one on the Falcons game. Tried to get one changed but got denied. Ordered fish and chips which weren't very good. Replaced my sides but was served all four and charged for all for.

They rent movies that you won't find elsewhere too.", "It would certainly get 5 stars if the seats weren't so close together...my boyfriend is a fan of independent films, but at 6'4\" he gets awfully cramped by the end of a show.", "There is a special place in my heart for this theater.. when I was growing up it was the only place in Idaho to see cutting edge indie films. The projection could be brighter, the sound could be better.. and MAN O MAN are the seats cramped. They went through a phase some years ago where most of the films they were playing could also be seen in at any theater.. but looks like for the most part they are back to supporting mostly indies you can't see any place else.", "It's places like this that give Boise it's (well-deserved) reputation as a town thats \"almost there\". \n\nPlaces like Flicks are a direct affront to the terrifying 2C rednecks, backwards and corrupt Republican good ol' boys network that runs the state, violent cops, etc. And not surprisingly, they've tried to shut it down.\n\nFlicks is a tiny 3 (?) screen theater that shows all the biggest documentary and indie movies. Stadium seating its not, but thats part of it's charm. The best part: they serve booze! Wine and beer only, but it is sooo good. Best popcorn I've ever had at a theater, and great food, especially the quiche. Super friendly staff, lots of special events and screenings, and dont forget the rentals! pretty fair selection of cult classics and new releases for rent at reasonable prices.\n\nLike I said, Flicks is a kick ass theater, but I think it represents more. It represents the handful of people in Boise that are fighting the good fight. The fight to make this beautiful little town a place that normal, forward thinking, educated moderates feel comfortable living in, and not just a xenophobic redneck outpost. Boise is \"almost there\". Places like this help push it along.", "The Flicks is absolutely as good as it gets. A selective theater with three screens (I'm pretty sure there are only three anyway) playing only the best of the latest independent films and documentaries. Plus, they have a great rental store inside with a marvelous selection of many of the off-beat films that are difficult to find at your larger rental chains. Those facts alone would make me a fan, but on top of that, they serve beer, wine, AND coffee (mochas...lattes...cappuccinos? You name it, they've got it)? Oh...and one winter evening last year they were serving some fanfreakingtastic Irish cream (along with their nightly beer and wine selections)--warmed me body and soul! In addition to their delightful beverage selection, they also have an expansive café menu, including salads, sandwiches, soup, pasta (freaking lasagna!), baked goodies (Crème Brulee? Have I died and gone to heaven), along with all your usual movie theater fare (popcorn, soda, candy). \n \nBooze, comfort food, and quality films? Good gracious GOD-- yes, please AND thank you!", "I shudder to think of where Boise would be without this place. A theater that serves up irished coffee with your indie flicks? Yes please! I think this place is one of the ultimate date spots in Boise.", "The Flicks projects all the indie goodness you used to only get in an art house like this, before Netflix. They are still relevant after the ubiquity of Netflix and Internet/TV convergence - going out to see a movie. Not only do you bond with your movie going pals, date, etc. away from the distractions of mundane home stuff, but you get to enter the movie as it is projected through the space. A luminous screen is not the same thing.\n\nThey almost got their beer and wine license taken away by the overly zealous state alcohol police. It's nice to have a quality brew or vino with your garden burger - another thing that helps compete with home theater.", "I love The Flicks. It's fun to meet there for a glass of wine and some baked brie, then on to a quirky film. Try to get there early in a run while the film is showing on screens 1 or 2...the two tiny screens past the movie rental are the reason I can't give 5 stars (you crane your neck looking up at the screen and the soundtrack from the adjacent film is audible through the thin walls.) It's helpful to get on their e-mail list to see what's coming.", "I love the Flicks. It's not the most modern or updated or technically sophisticated theater, but it's homey and interesting. If you're looking for fancy sound, gigantic screens, butter flavored popcorn topping or gallons of soda, look elsewhere. The Flicks is a small independent theater showing a fantastic variety of films while simultaneously offering beer, wine, espresso, and pretty good food (including scratch made soups). I see one reviewer complained about employees, but any business that hires people for customer service runs the risk of a bad employee or two over the years. On the other hand, the Flicks has many wonderful employees that have worked there as long as I can remember. One of my very favorite things about the Flicks is they give you REAL BUTTER on your popcorn. Not butter flavored oily nast. Also I know they do tow people who are not customers on occasion because they have very limited parking areas. So just don't park there to go to some event in the park or you might get towed.", "My favorite movie theater in Boise, period. This place is an institution, always picking first rate indie films, great espresso drinks, and great service. If you are ever visiting the Boise area I really encourage you to go, order a glass of wine and a pretzel with cheese and enjoy a movie. Its not the newest movie theater in town or the most updated, but it has character and its where I fell in love with movies." ]

[ "Nice restaurant with great table-side-made sangria. Seriously, their special sangria, a mixture of fresh fruits, cinnamon, brandy and red wine, is alone worth the visit.\r\n\r\nThe escargot is traditional and tasty. The Red Snapper Papillot is quite good as well. Truthfully, their dinner specials are what shine. I have had anything from seared tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes to lobster papillot.. all of it good. On the downside, their yellow rice is a bit bland.\r\n\r\nService is attentive and quick. Atmosphere, while not overly dressy, is not overly casual either.", "I've only been here once so I can't give it a four star rating...yet. The food, service, and overall atmosphere..., however, were splendid. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. When in Florida, I highly recommend grouper from the Gulf of Mexico, and Cafe Don Jose did not disappoint. I believe you need reservations, especially on the weekends. Great place for a family dinner, or even dinner for two. Live music some evenings as well. Make your reservations and enjoy your evening. I know I will be back for another taste of this Spanish-style restaurant.", "Rude and inconsiderate waiter/bartender. Extremely inflexible with a simple request to have dinner at the bar, sangria was average, menu looked great... but my date and I decided to eat else where... (Cilantros!). They need a serious dose of customer service training.", "This is a pretty cool little Spanish restaurant nestled in Temple Terrace. I always feel like a pirate when I eat here.\n\nMy first visit for lunch was simply because I wanted to tell my friends I'd eaten an ostrich burger for lunch. (For the record, the burger is served with a salad and fries and made an excellent lunch!)\n\nThe dinner menu offers a wide array of tasty Spanish dishes. I had the chicken salteado, which I really enjoyed. I wouldn't say it was spectacular, but it was above average.\n\nBreak away from chain food monotony, and give this place a try for a unique lunch.", "Tonight I had green turnip soup, plantains, fried green tomatoes, and ostrich with yellow rice. All of it was very good -- especially the fried green tomatoes. Would like to try their escargot on my next visit.\n\nMy only gripe was that the vegetables could have been cooked for a bit longer... But that was my only issue.", "I've seen Cafe Don Jose for years when passing by, but somehow always passed it for later, but tonight was the night. We first ordered the sangria (red AND white), which was made at the table, followed by a delicious house salad! My group ordered all kinds of dishes ranging from bacon wrapped shrimp to seafood casserole to ribeye. Everyone, including me, was very satisfied. Raul was our server and he was amazing; seriously one of the best parts of the night. The place is quit pricey, but for a special night out it's definitely worth it.", "We decided to go here one night after passing it many times. We ordered both the red and white sangria, not knowing that they were $20 a pitcher! As far as the food, the portion size was huge and the food was good but not the best I've tasted. My husband ordered the special and wasn't told the price until the ticket came and it was $40!\n\nOverall, it is overpriced for what you are getting but the atmosphere is nice.", "I'd been wanting to try this place out for a while, so we finally decided to take the plunge. I would say that the food was definitely good but probably overpriced as some other reviewers suggested. I had the Cazuela de Mariscos ($25) for an entree and the escargot ($9.95) for an appetizer. The cazuela was tasty and had plenty of seafood. Good, but not the best I've had. The escargot was about average. My boyfriend had the pastry puffs for an appetizer ($9.95), which were pretty good but the portion was very small for the price we paid. For an entree, he had the filet milanesa, which he was pretty pleased with.\n\nThe service was actually quite good - attentive without being obtrusive!", "A nice little Spanish place amidst a sea of chain restaurants in Temple Terrace. I came here ages ago but really enjoyed my meal at the time. It can be easily overlooked due to its location but should not be forgotten.", "I've been here twice, both for work lunches.\n\nThe best things about this place are: 1. it's not a chain restaurant, which makes it unique in the Temple Terrace area, and 2. the staff is wonderfully friendly.\n\nHowever, I have to say that I've been disappointed with the food both times I've eaten here. The first time, I had the fish special (pan fried blackened grouper), and it was salty and the vegetables tasted like they were formerly frozen. This second visit, I had the chicken with yellow rice. Again, the food was over-salted. The chicken was well-cooked (tender, not over-done), but the rice was mushy, and the peas were clearly of the frozen variety. Portions were huge, but who wants to have a huge portion of mediocre food?\n\nMy lunch companions seemed to enjoy their food. I thought it was a nice touch that the chicken and spinach salad is tossed at tableside. However, I thought it was funny that there weren't salad dressing options, even on request." ]

Both times were during breakfasts. The lunch menu is really diverse I like the salmon salad and the rice bowl", "5 stars for actually have healthy tasty food close to the quarter....nearly impossible. I come here once a month and finding a decent salad/healthy breakfast is difficult! Been here 3 times and I love the salads especially the curry chicken. Just had the breakfast bowl with a poached egg, pretty damn good way to start the day!!", "I am so happy this gem is in the neighborhood!

One day I hope to wake up early enough to try breakfast too.", "I hate to do this...but since we've been working in this building for 3 years, I've tried to give G.O. and now Louise so many chances. I truly hope they get it together, because I like the owners and it's family-run. But come on. \n\nConsistently, they are out of menu items, their staff is surly, and now the quality of food seems to be taking a serious turn. \n\nA few weeks ago, I was in a hurry to ordered a curry samosa from the case. I took it upstairs to eat, and not only was it cold, to the point that it seemed partially frozen, but it had 0 flavor. \n\nToday, I ordered the Cobb salad, one that I've ordered many times and have been very happy with. The chicken is petrified! Completely dry, hard, doesn't appear to have been cooked in house, as it was in the past. There are just 4 small pieces (which is fine for me, since it's inedible). Typically, having worked in the service industry, I'd resort to speaking with them directly about the issues. But given the way that I've and my coworkers have experience resolutions with their staff, I have gone this route. \n\nTruly, I had hoped and still do hope that Louise would be an improvement from G.O., and I appreciate the attempt at healthy and affordable options in the CBD.", "I was begging for a good coffee shop to pop up around my building and FINALLY one did. This place is the best; friendly staff, really good food, and great cocktails! I grab breakfast here every morning and sometimes even lunch. I just wish they were open on the weekends !", "This place would've gotten 4 stars had it not been for the drinks. We went during happy hour, where my dad and boyfriend both got Moscow Mules. My dad is a huge Moscow Mule guy, and he said that there wasn't enough ginger beer, so it ended up just tasting like a vodka-lime drink. My mom got a gin and tonic, which wasn't on the happy hour menu, so it was $8 as opposed to $4. They put so much ice in her small glass it was ridiculous. For how much they charged, there should've been more alcohol and less ice.\n\nThe food, on the other hand, was really good. We went when they were serving their evening menu, which only had 3 items on it. We ended up trying all 3- the banh mi, kale mango salad, and eggplant dish (can't remember the name of it for the life of me). While I didn't eat the banh mi, the general consensus was that it was good, maybe not super authentic though. The eggplant dish that I got was like a sort of bruschetta, and it was seasoned really nicely. And then the kale mango salad tasted super fresh and also got goat cheese, avocado, and walnuts. It was a mix of kale and mixed greens, which was nice so that the kale wasn't overpowering. My mom said it was the best kale salad she's ever had out to eat. \n\nI'd probably go back if I was around the area to try food from their other menus, because some of the other dishes looked really good!", "Awesome sandwiches right next to our hotel, thought we were going to go hungry bf our concert but we popped in here and I'm glad we did.", "Louise is an awesome CBD find!!! The food is delicious, made with high quality ingredients and reasonably priced. Delicious coffee from French Truck Coffee and excellent cocktails and bites for happy hour! Today I had their Italian sandwich which came with generous portions of succulent burrata and a light and tasty side salad. I can't wait to come back to sample more of the menu!" ]

We like to call it mystery meat you WONT be able to tell if what your eating is the fish piece or the chicken piece - the only reason you know your eating french fries is because they aren't shaped like the fish and chicken pieces. However all are a greasy goodness! The service is really really slow but making mystery meat is a slow process so we understand - and when in the mood for a suspenseful meal we go back! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless of course you have a cast iron stomach in that case I'll see ya'll there!", "Love it. Really good food.

I don't know why, I just never really think about going here and it's not on any of my usual paths. That being said, I tried their new Cajun Fish Meal that I've been seeing on the commercials. Really good and good value for your money. $5.99 for 5 pieces of fish, hush-puppies, cole slaw, vegetables, and this really good crunchy stuff they put they fish on. I love how the tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, ketchup and vinegar are all unlimited and easily accesible. As my wife says, I'm a \"condiment whore\" so it's nice to not have to ask for extra. Service was friendly, and they have a pretty good value menu too.

I actually used to live near one and really liked their fish and chicken, so here we go with another installment of Jeromey Visit Fast Food Chains He Hasn't Been To Since He Was A Teenager And Gripes 'Cause They Aren't As Good Anymore. \n\nWell, actually the fish here is still pretty good, and the hush puppies. Both the chicken and fish are more dry than I remember. But man, prices have gone up. Most combos are around 7 bucks, which would be reasonable with a drink, but they are sans beverage and a small is like 1.75. Fountain drinks cost these places almost nothing so not throwing one in with a meal seems like a rip.\n\nWhen the bill gets to be around 10 bucks per person and up that's a little nuts for fast food. But the food is OK and they have a good range of sides.", "Chuy had a great attitude and was above and beyond drive thru service, and our food was 100% fresh. Thanks man.", "Since I am speaking for myself two stars it is. And that would be for the young man working the window.

All I could find is battered salt in the guise of fish and lettuce in a tortilla. I was hoping perhaps a salsa or something, but nope. I did not get through two of them.

We chose only the Alaskan white fish. The fish was fried in a batter but didn't have any flavor on its own. The Cole slaw was a bit to watery. The hush puppies were good they just tasted like they were prepared in the morning. \n\nStaff: Staff service was horrible. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom and they didn't want to refill it (first world problems). When we were ordering and asking items off the menu the guy at the register said this is the price as far as food I don't recommend anything it's all the same. I get that maybe their underpaid and overworked but I should at least be able to question the menu and get a real answer.", "I have been coming here since I was a child and thus is my go-to place when I'm craving some may vinegar (vinegar fans understand). While the food here has always been consistent, service fluctuates wildly. I actually stayed away for a while based on my last few visits. However, today I was thinking about some hushpuppies and decided to give them another try. The staff here was awesome today. So friendly and attentive. Every table was clean and had a fresh bottle of vinegar. Theres a $5 box deal right now for two piece entree, a side, drink and cookie. Two small complaints: can't combine fish and chicken for the $5 meal and the tiny ketchup cups are useless. I know they're probably an attempt to limit waste but you have to fill like 100 to get even a few oz of ketchup and in the words of my toddler \"the chickeeeeeeen won't fit in the ketchup!\" Other than that, everything was great and everyone rang the good service bell as they left." ]

Grand Blvd).\n\nIt's a very casual fast food-esque eatery that is somewhat sterile in appearance, but don't let that stop you if you like solid tasting food that is affordable. \n\nI'm definitely adding this one to my \"cheap eats\" list because there are several substantial items on the menu that are under $5, such as $3 borek and $3 samsa (borek-phyllo pastry meat/cheese pies, samsa - puff pastry meat/cheese pies).\n\nThe kebab plates are around $12.50, but the portions are so HUGE that one meal is enough for 2-3 people. You get a TON of TENDER meat, pickled slaw salad and veggie, a half loaf of AWESOME homemade bread, onion, cooked tomatoes, and basmati rice. It's not seasoned much, but it is tasty and you definitely get your moneys worth.\n\nFood is made to order, so it will take about 20 minutes. My server brought me a free cup of Turkish tea and a light, less dessert like version of baklava to nosh on while I waited. They serve three varieties of baklava. \n\nThis is close to home for me, so it will definitely be a regular stop. I will likely call ahead and order carry out. YUM", "I have gone here 4 times now. It is now on my list of top 5 restaurants in St Louis. I have not tried a lot on the menu as I am addicted now to their Sultani. The meal is very large, plus they give you salad, bread & soup.

Very clean and restaurant is very easy to get to off Bates on 55 South.", "Royal Kebab took my Turkish-food virginity away.

At first look, I was thinking this doesn't look like much. There were a couple piece of meat and some chopped vegetables. I was terribly wrong. I had to finish this in SESSIONS. I haven't been this full in a long time! I mean breathing was a tiresome task after eating all of this. And the bread was so doughy and good; it was literally the size of a mini loaf of bread.\n\nI've never had baklava before but after my first piece, I've been lusting for more ever since.

I had a gyro sandwich, which is all the stuff you'd find in a gyro, served on a HUGE freshly-baked-right-there-in-the-restaurant bun. This sandwich was almost as big as my face. I only ate half of it. The other half will be great for lunch tomorrow.\n\nThe various breads and baklava in the display case also looked very appetizing.

Lots of veggies but no tzatziki or tahini but instead RANCH dressing. I hate to admit, I kinda liked it... but I rather have tzatziki any day.\n\nThe gentleman who cooked the food came out to personally check on us and make sure we were happy.

Great bargain and great service.", "My wife I stopped here very spontaneously on a recent Sunday bike ride to the neighborhood where we'll be moving. \nAfter we took our table, a man brought us chicken and lintel soup with very freshly baked bread -- both divine. \nThen he brought menus. \nWe were amazed and delighted by this sequence, but even more pleased with our orders. The kobideh sandwich, on this same fresh, airy, sesame bread, was astonishingly good. The dolmas with yogurt sauce were exceptional, and the Greek salad variation was beautiful and fresh and very tasty. \nIt was really more than we could eat, and the bill was under $15. \nThe best news is that soon we'll be living two blocks away and will be regulars at this wonderful little spot.", "The food was outstanding.

The former Saigon Harbor is now Hanoi Pho. \n\nInside, nothing has changed setup wise, and the same excellent wait staff are there. Friendly, professional and responsive. Good move by the new restaurant. \n\nThe menu has definitely changed, both with the addition of some Thai items and also a build out of some Vietnamese, including (duh) more Pho and also bubble tea. \n\nThe Patriarch and I headed over for an early dinner. He ordered the steamed vegetables with rice, and I got my favorite Vietnamese chicken fried rice along with spring rolls. \n\nThe spring rolls were great, a promising sign. The Patriarch got a mango smoothie which he also thought was very good. \n\nThe entrees...flavorless. Steamed vegetables really needed the peanut sauce to taste like anything, and oddly, included was fried tofu. Okay. The Chicken fried rice was likewise flavorless, lacking vegetables and egg. Even the chicken was bland. A bowl of fish sauce made it palatable, but not really save it. \n\nWe mentioned the blandness, and the servers as well as manager were gracious about it. They offered a free smoothie which was nice. I hope, though, they'll get their seasonings down and amp up the flavors. \n\nI'm crossing my fingers, because they are super nice, it's clean and well run.", "I live in the area and I have never ordered from Saigon Harbor but I was curious to check out the food under the management.

I got the deluxe vermicelli and I must say the chicken, pork, and shrimp were grilled perfectly. I would say that the flavors in their food are very authentic and comparable to what I would find on the city and it's nice to not have to drive that far for good Vietnamese food! \n\nThe restaurant was clean and updated.

I walked in dressed like a dirty laborer. They greeted me with respect. They didn't pass judgement on what I looked like or how I dressed. This is personally important to me. Btw, place was more than 3/4 packed on a Sunday night. Impressive! While I was waiting on my food, one of the staff members and I were talking about what's going on with the new Restaurant and the past. Long story short, he said, \"i promise you! You'll be back!\" Guess what!?!? We were back today for more take out. Also, I was very impressed by what my wife told me when she came home with our order. My wife asked for \"pineapple sauce\" last week, they forgot to put it in. It wasn't life or death. Forgive and forget. When my wife went in, she asked for the sauce again. Staff member had an amazing memory. He said to her. You must be the lady from last week. Idk. Maybe he recognized her voice. Idk but I was impressed. He Apologized right away for forgetting. Now that's customer service right there. Let's get to the food! Majority of the time, I get pho deluxe and spring rolls. Springs rolls were excellent! Instead of getting your normal quantity of 2, you get 3 here! Shocker! It's hard to explain but They're just perfect in flavoring, meat, size, density, texture, cripsy, n etc. Deluxe was absolutely great. Remember, it's all about the broth then meats. Personally, the broth was perfect. I wasn't drinking a bowl of salt water or pure fat! Portions were perfect. It wasn't over bearing with extra amount of meats or opposite; a mountain of noodles and not enough meats. I'm not your typical customer. I just want good food. This is what I got; a great meal! I don't care about \"deals.\" Im not a person who wants to pay $6 for a bowl of pho and expect to eat or make two meals out of it. My standards are simple. Give me good food and simple service. I don't ask for much. Sometimes, the smallest gestures to me are the biggest. Btw.... my wife enjoyed everything she ate. Also, I noticed how Hanoi's has a few authentic viet dishes on their menus which other places do not. I can't wait to come back n tried something new. If you been here before, like or dislike, please go back! Give this new team a try! Like he said to me before \"you'll be back!\" He was right! I'm back and I'm staying. Thankyou! Good luck!", "Is it reassuring to find a 1\" long dead cockroach in a restaurant bathroom (because it's dead) or disturbing (because it's in the restaurant to begin with)? I'm going to say the latter. Found that little surprise when hitting the rest room after my meal. We weren't too keen on the food to begin with so a return trip was already unlikely, but that just sealed the deal. Nope, not going back. \n\nThe food was pretty ho-hum. We had the pho and a vermicelli bowl. Not bad, but neither tasted quite \"right\" - and I've had my fair share of Vietnamese food having spent a month in Vietnam and many a weekend eating my way down Washington Ave in Philly.\n\nSkip this place and drive the extra 10 minutes to get your Vietnamese fix down by 69th street terminal. Or better yet, make the trek down to Washington Ave.", "Extremely helpful and friendly staff, happy to give recommendations and they are always spot on! Big portions, reasonably priced. Grilled pork chop is very flavourful and tender. Thai pork fried rice is divine!!!!!! Have never had a meal that wasn't stellar quality. Try this little gem of yumminess you will not be disappointed!", "I don't know why my original review was removed from Yelp themselves. I didn't say anything negative or derogatory except to warn that the \"online ordering\" stops at 5pm during the week and that they should maybe mention that on their site. Just telling the truth.", "Saigon harbor is gone and so is the quality and service. The beef vermicelli used to be a terrific flank steak that had a nice smokey flavor, now it tastes like eye round that is pan seared. The spring roll was still good - and thats the only reason it gets a second star. As for the service, asked for no peanuts on all of our dishes - but there were peanuts. We had waited such a long time (almost an hour which is ridiculous for Vietnamese food) we just told the staff to forget the replacement. No real apology or even acknowledgment of it happening. After that they never filled our water again until everyone was completely out and we had to ask. Ten years ago the waiters would talk to you and the place was a real treat. We went there once or twice a month. About five years ago it sold and the waitstaff completely changed but the food was still just as good. We missed the conversations and our kids missed the comedy routine but it was still a good place to eat. Now its just another below average place - I'll miss the smokey beef.", "We've been twice since they opened. Delicious food. And very welcoming to little ones. Can't wait to go back!", "Blurgh & yuck! Ordered noodles & tofu--got home and not only was it chicken, not tofu, but the noodles taste like they were soaked in fish", "We had an awful experience here two weekends ago. Ended up getting a sitter last minute and thought we'd go to our favorite spot. When we arrived we noticed that Saigon Harbor was no longer there and a new place had taken over. We decided to give it a try. We ordered and waited 30 minutes only to hear that they had lost our order. They asked us what we ordered and our food took another 30 minutes to arrive. My husbands order arrived about 10 min before mine did and our appetizers came 10 minutes after our entrees. My entree was the wrong thing and they actually made us pay for it, informing us that we would get a 20% discount- for the wrong thing! The food is not the same quality either. The entire time most of the wait staff seemed to be wandering around with a confused look on their faces. We'll never waste another date night on this place. We are so sad that Saigon Harbor is gone." ]

[ "I made a special trip here yesterday for their delicious open face crab melt sandwich...only to find it was taken off of the menu. Bummer! The crab cake sandwich was an ok substitute, but really just not what I was craving. Thank god they still have great drink specials and complimentary super buttery popcorn!", "It's a local place for sure,if you are going to have a Pub Menu then they should deliver, which on my 2nd time back they didn't ,food is thrown together,missed items,and I feel that you don't get what you pay for. I won't go for the Food.", "I will skip this from my places to eat. What happened? It's not all bad news...the butermilk/panko crusted onion rings are still a winner and the Ahi Tuna Burger was good ( so says my daughter). I ordered a bowl of the soup of the day - Chicken Gumbo. Whoa! It was a bowl of rice with a watery broth that maybe someone waved a tomato over. Oh, one tiny piece of chicken...I sent it back and opted for a bowl of Chili...Yuck! A tomato pasty mess surrounded by a pound of flavorless tortilla chips! The Shrimp & Grits ordered by my husband was a special of the day. They need to delete the word \"special\" from the menu description. It was way over-priced. It was served in a large bowl and it was hard to find the amount of flavorless grits with cooked green pepper on top. Huh? The shrimp and the sausage pieces were overcooked what there was of them. \nGood thing they still have the complimentary popcorn, or I would have left very hungry. The waiter was friendly...so that was a bonus!", "Local pub, good beer selection. No pretensions. Stop there to see the game.", "Great PEI muscles. Courtney is a bartender they should never loose!!!!", "Great place to catch up with your guy friends for football on Sunday's. Also, the bartenders are personable and get to know you. Kinda like Cheers, probably dating myself :)", "Our family use to love this place. The burgers were awesome especially when the grill was near the bar area. Now the food is cold the burgers, steaks overdone and served cold, the wine glasses looked dirty...luckily they have popcorn. After the last 3 or 4 times going back was continually disappointed but wanted to give it another try...don't know what has happened but finally gave up...", "The food and the service is good, just what you would expect from a pub, with tasty menu that's good for lunch and dinner. I would definitely recommend the crab and artichoke dip; very delicious.", "Stopped in for happy hour with my friends. We come here because the drinks are cheap, the popcorn is great, and the service is good. They don't have any fruity girly drinks that I like, but the John Daly's are dirt cheap. The crowd is bizarre, especially the old biker dude ramming his tongue down the drunk old lady's throat sitting next to him, we almost barfed.", "Local pub with cheap drinks and good food. They have dinner specials almost every night of the week and drink specials all day every day which you just can't beat. The crowd is perfect if you like people watching, they have trivia on the tvs, and awesome popcorn. Great place!" ]
