[ "We decided to check out Yo! Sushi on opening day. We were seated by Alex at a booth and we was helpful to find out information on a peanut/tree nut allergy for us. Our server, Young, was attentive and friendly. He checked on us multiple times and showed us the help button that you can push if you need a server. \nItems on the conveyor belt appeared fresh and ours were tasty. We tried edamame, philly roll, California roll, tuna tataki, seaweed salad, salmon sashimi and yuzu salsa. All were tasty. The seaweed salad was different from others that I've had before. This one seemed to have a kick of wasabi and added in edamame. \nMy one complaint is that for lunch, this was a very pricey meal, as portions are small. I mentioned this and they are going to have specials, etc, but as of opening day there were none. (Instead of a roll having 8 pieces, these had 4, which allows you to sample a variety, but helps the price creep up quickly.)\nOur bill included these items and we drank waters. It came to $36 before tax and tip. We enjoyed our meal and my child loved it, so I know we will be back.", "This place is so cute, it is located on the bottom floor in front of the main elevator. Just grab a seat anywhere and start your sushi on! The conveyor belts circulates the entire restaurant, the sushi plates are within arms reach. Just grab whatever plate you want to eat or order from the menu. There is a service button for you to push whenever you need the server. The sushi plates are color coded by price. For example the green plates cost $3.00 and the most expensive are yellow ones at $7.00. When you are ready for your the bill, the server will total up the plates you grabbed off the conveyor belt or ordered them from the kitchen. \n\nMy experience was on the Grand opening day. The sushi were very fresh and it was a very fun experience! The customer service was spectacular, you can hear them communicating with each other by yelling Yo!!! Yo!!! Yo!!!!!!!!", "Nice addition to the mall. Was it my favorite? No, but it's definitely worth checking out.", "Sushi conveyor belts rolling delicious options to every table just like I remembered in Japan but with a modern american twist!\n\nHaving experienced conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Japan & NYC, I was so excited that a place like this finally exists in Tampa. Came here with the misses & wanted to try just about everything on the menu. kind of like Japanese tapas as the dishes are small enough to encourage you to grab a few to get full. Pretty simple concept, you sit & watch the food roll by ... if you like it, you just pick it up off the conveyor belt, take the cover off the plate & eat away ! \n\neach dish is priced according to the color of the plate, and when your finished the waiter tallies the damage on your bill. with so many yummy things rolling by, it can be easy to rack up a hefty bill so just be careful because you pretty much want to eat everything that flashes across your eyes. \n\nI loved that everything on the menu had a picture on which made it easier to know what you were looking for. be sure to look out for the time stickers on the plate covers to check the freshness of the sushi on the conveyor belts! every dish we enjoyed alot as it came out fresh & hot since it was cooked straight from the kitchen! \n\nsuper friendly staff any awesome waiters! they actually took me & the misses 10 minutes before closing & didnt turn us super hungry folks away ... thank you ! i could see this place doing well as its smack in the middle of international plaza & a new concept with the conveyor belt gimick not seen in tampa as of yet!", "I love conveyor belt sushi restaurants! It's a great concept, and the execution at Yo! Sushi is spot on.\n\nThe place is immaculate, and our server, Austin was excellent. He was quick, friendly and answered all of our questions very thoroughly. Even let us play with the Help button. How can you sit there and not hit the Help button?\n\nI like how the conveyor passes in both directions no matter where you're sitting. Most places, the conveyor belt only passes in one direction. Here, if you miss an item you want, it will be back by shortly.\n\nI lived in Hawaii, and conveyor belt sushi restaurants are common. For this concept to be successful, they have to stay busy, otherwise they'll wind up trashing all the profits. With the location, exposure isn't a problem. They have a lot of foot traffic, but the menu items are super expensive (about double what the average sushi restaurant charges for equal quality and quantity). At that price, they're not really asking for return customers. With a price adjustment, this would be an easy 5 star review, but as it is now, I can't justify the price for the basic menu and extremely small portions. \n\nOverall, it was a nice experience, in a nice location, with fresh sushi. I'll go back, but my wallet can't handle regular visits.", "Yo! Sushi is a totally new concept for Tampa. It's conveyor-belt sushi also known as kaiten-sushi or kaiten-zushi or sushi-go-round in Japan. You sit at a booth and grab the sushi you want and pay at the end.\n\nMy first experience with this kind of sushi was in San Francisco when I first tried sushi as a 5-year old at Isobune Sushi in Japantown and I have longed for a conveyor-belt style sushi place to come to Tampa since I moved here in 1999. Yo! Sushi is finally making that a reality.\n\nThe style of Yo! Sushi is modern and different from Isobune. The focus is on fast, fresh, and convenient and the setup of the place follows this focus. When you walk-up to the restaurant it's open and easy to get a seat at. Call-buttons are placed at each table to make it easy to get service and close your check.\n\nSushi is constantly being rolled and made by the sushi chefs at the restaurant and the open-kitchen let's you watch the chefs in action. I have faith a high-traffic area like the International Plaza will help ensure the freshness of the fish at Yo! Sushi. \n\nPlates range from $3-$6 and contain a variety of cooked and raw sushi, cooked Japanese food, and dessert. There's a little bit of something for everyone depending on your tastes. \n\nOne of my favorite things I have tried so far is the Chicken Katsu Curry which comes a small plate with rice below and about 5 cuts of katsu for $5. I often want to order katsu at restaurants, but find it hard to justify spending $15 on dinner for one - especially when I also want sushi with my food and end up just ditching the katsu. This meets me halfway.\n\nAs far as the sushi is concerned - it tastes fresh and is certainly above what you would find at a buffet or something like Koizi/Saki Endless Sushi. It's not quite the highest quality of sushi which is understandable considering the price and focus, but still satisfactory to me for the taste. Most of the sushi leans towards salmon, tuna, and imitation crab/crab special or California Roll-creations. \n\nI also liked the Popcorn Shrimp (tastes more like Bang Bang Shrimp), Takoyaki (hard to find a decent one in Tampa for sure!), and the Kimchi Salmon Steamed Bun (bun was just right and salmon pretty good quality!). There are plenty of things to try though so repeat visits will need to be made!\n\nFor me, Yo! Sushi is great for a quick and tasty meal when I'm in a rush and don't necessarily want to spend as much time/money at a regular Japanese sushi restaurant. I can see how someone who wants a really high-end Japanese experience may not approve, but then one should also consider price and time into factors of that justification.\n\nThe service is friendly/approachable and the managers clearly really love working for Yo! Sushi which is something plenty of restaurants in Tampa Bay seem to lack and may come from them being an international company.\n\nDefinitely check it out even if it's just to try something new for fun with some friends or family. I know I'll be back often!", "The food is great and the concept is awesome. The only problem, which is a pretty big one, is that it is expensive. With each plate, the price goes up a lot and you can end up spending a lot more than other places for not much food. \nI would prefer to pay a flat rate for unlimited plates, like a buffet. Overall, though, great experience. I will return, but I would go more if they adjusted their pricing.", "YO! this is a new (futuristic looking) sushi joint smack dab in the middle of international plaza. It's not located in the food court, but in the grand court where they do the seasonal displays or car shows. Place was very intriguing. \nSo how it works: 1) sit down (get the seat closer to the conveyor belt if you are with a group of friends. 2) make sure you check the prices of each plate color so you know how much you are spending. 3) wait til something that looks good passes your way and grab it! They also have a placemat/menu that you can straight up order from. \nThe sushi was decent. You never really expect sushi boat places like these to make super high quality sushi, but it's definitely better than publix sushi. They have other things too. I got the takoyaki, soft shell crab, and even the fried calamari. All very decent. Cool new hip place to eat. The only thing is that it's pretty pricey. Probably the most expensive sushi boat place I've been to.", "As other Yelpers have mentioned this is a great concept and the first of its' kind in Tampa. The tapas\\sushi conveyor belt idea is fun and interesting. All of the bubble saucer plates, shouts from the cooks, \"Yo Yo\", put us into sensory overload. If you are an indecisive person this is not the restaurant for you. The plates of sushi and other dishes swirl at a fast pace. I grabbed at least 2 plates on impulse. Bring a calculator because each plate is a different price based on color. For example the green plate is 3 dollars and the yellow plate is 7 dollars ( I wonder if color blind people pay more because of this). Breakdown of some of items that I tried:\n\nIced Green Tea: Matcha based, excellent quality, and free refils: 5/5\nCalifornia Roll (purple plate): Average flavor not real crab I have had better at most resturants: 2/5\nBlack Sesame Dorayaki (purple plate) Love the raspberry sauce, great sesame flavor, ate 2 plates: 5/5\nChicken Fire Cracker Rice (orange plate): Decent well seasoned, not spicy, not much chicken: 3.5/5\nChicken Katsu (orange plate): Solid choice, good sauce, fair portion: 4/5\n\nIn the future I will avoid the sushi and order more hot entrees. I enjoyed most of the chicken dishes. For lunch with tip my wife and I payed just under $50.00 dollars and were still hungry. Next time I will control my impulses and study the menu more before grabing plates.", "WAY overpriced for just average sushi. It's a cool and unique concept, but DEFINITELY not worth the price, especially considering how many other sushi options are around them." ]

[ "So yes, it's an Olive Garden and the same as all other Olive Garden's.\nBut I do have to say that the service is always top notch. Pleasent and friendly and you are never left waiting.\n\n The Mussles as an app is a MUST! Salad and bread are always fresh and good.\n Main dishes always come out fast, hot and good flavors. Decent wine list and just an all around good place to eat.", "If you are eating Olive Garden in Kenner/New Orleans, then you can pretty much expect the same stuff at any of their other locations. But if you want good Italian not from a can or freezer, try a local restaurant like Sandro's or Vincents or Carmine's. All are much better and cheaper.", "What a bad experience! Now..don't get me wrong...the food was exactly as it should be..my lasagna was fantastic..the salad and breadsticks are always delicious....but the service at this Olive Garden is why I will always order to go if I'm craving Italian food again. The host was so rude I actually wanted to leave! And that's when I was standing so close to all the great smelling aromas coming out from the kitchen!! She was so unpleasant I actually turned and looked behind me to see if she was addressing someone else when she asked \"what?\". and I said \"um....well....I was hoping to eat...\". Her reply? \"It will be awhile. sit down.\" I looked around and no one else was waiting so I said \"alright. no problem...Ill run to the ladies room\". I walked out as another couple walked in and requested a table for two, and simultaneously walked up to the stand with me as she grabbed the menus, looked at me, then gestured for the other couple to follow her! It will take a while to want to return for me if at all....", "I like Olive Garden... but only for the soup, salad, and breadsticks at lunch. \n\nEntrees? Nah - I have a real Italian in my family, so I frequently get to enjoy better meals than Olive Garden's mass-produced \"Italian\" cuisine. There are tons of better local Italian restaurants throughout the metro area, too. \n\nI will say, their minestrone soup is delightful though, and I'm pretty sure the salad is laced with.. something... to make it addictive. I don't usually even like iceberg lettuce, but their salad is good. Lunch is cheap, too.", "Soup salad breadsticks! Yum! Service has been mixed?!? Sometimes great sometimes awful. But the 4 stars are for the fact that you can purchase their dressing!!", "We tend to stop at the Olive Garden from time to time, especially when out near the mall. I like it for their salad and bread sticks. The Italian dishes are acceptable. Last time we ate there, I had the Lasagna rollata al forno. I enjoyed the lasagna rolls. Something different from their Lasagna Classico. My wife had the five cheese zita al forno. She thought she had ordered something else that she had for lunch a few weeks before, as she wasn't expecting a pasta dish smothered with sauce. We ended up taking it home and it went to work with me for lunch. They have an acceptable wine list, although I tend to stick with the Gabbiano chianti. I find the service is generally good, although they have had bad nights like most large chain restaurants. They are popular as we have to wait for a table most times we visit.", "I know you're probably wondering what I was doing at an Olive Garden, considering I live in one of the best food cities in the country. When someone suggested we go here, I was hesitant. The one and only time I had ever been here, I was 12 and I just remember hating it. But, I figured my food tastes have probably changed in the last 16 years, so I thought I would have an open mind and give it another shot.\n\nThe food actually wasn't bad at all and it was super cheap, considering all you get. With two entrees, you get a big bowl of salad (to share) and breadsticks. That right there covers your appetizer. I got the linguine with marinara sauce. True, it's hard to screw that up, but I wasn't feeling adventurous enough to try one of their \"stuffed\" pastas. I decided to play it safe.\n\nThis is one of those places that you know what you're getting when you go. It's a chain. The food is mass produced. You don't go here for authentic Italian, you go here because you want some cheap eats for your and some friends. \n\nI probably wouldn't trip over myself to go back to this place, but I might go sooner than another 16 years.", "I dined at Olive Garden a few years ago and had a horrible experience and haven't gone back until my friends decided to come here. This previous was better because of our awesome waitress, but the food was still lacking for me. Yes, I love the unlimited salad and bread sticks (even if they're a bazillion calories!), but their entrees are soo UGH!! My friend and I shared the Shrimp Capreze as a recommendation from our waitress and it was sooooo bland! You already know I had to spice it up with some Tabasco to save it from its misery. The dish consists of grilled shrimp on top of a bed of angel hair pasta with a garlic-butter sauce. BLAHH. I stopped dining here because of another horrific entree I ate years ago. Olive Garden's only saving grace? I really like the stuffed mushrooms appetizer and the calamari was decent. The Zeppoli we had for dessert was also a big hit with the table. They're basically beignets but with the actual grains of sugar instead of powdered with a chocolate dipping sauce. The menu says it's supposed to be powdered, but I think I would know powdered sugar if I saw it, and it was definitely not!\n\nThough the food was lacking, our waittress was full of energy and attentive; we loved her! She was so nice and made the experience a lot better than it would have been. The time it took for our dessert and entrees to come out was a little longer than expected but not terribly long. The pricing of the food is rather inexpensive, so yes another plus. \n\nWould I come here again? Only if I have to. I would've given it 2 stars, but added the extra because of our waittress.", "The food has to be Made by some hairnet wearing people located in a different state it's so bad. Everything is frozen and heated up at the restaurant how do I know? My friend use to be a \"cook\" the for 3 days. Food is bland and plated horribly", "Olive garden is worthless, overpriced, greasy, dumb service who can't get our order right or tie there own shoes. Id rather eat out of the garbage. Never go there!!!!!" ]

[ "This restaurant opens to the public this weekend and they will have to fight back the crowds. Chef Al Paris, who has worked at a host of Philly kitchens, goes traditional with classy comfort food. We both ate two homemade biscuts with real, fresh butter. They were warm and comforting. My husband had the pork loin after inhaling a salmon pastrami/sweet potato cake appetizer with a little maple cream cheese concoction. He's normally not into greens, but he ate all of the kale. I had a (three) beet salad with a breaded warm goat cheese topping that was killer. Ate the whole thing. I had the scallops with pork belly appetizer as an entree and couldn't finish my kale/pork creation and enjoyed some of it today. The quality of food, service and detail to attention will make this the 'go to' place in Chestnut Hill. It's right next to a liquor store at the top of the hill and it's a BYOB. We couldn't do desert. Pity.", "This restaurant has a great ambience and great food. I very much enjoyed the kale and short rib and fingerling potatoes. I am usually not a kale eater at all but i was actually thinking of ordering some to go as well. I had the rack of lamb and my wife had the salmon and both were great. Its a BYOB next door to a wine and spirits which is a great combination. I enjoyed this place so much i posted on yelp, which i never do", "The Good Doctor and I would be delighted to pass this Heirloom along to our kids.\n\nHeirloom is Ameri-centric cuisine at its finest. Doc and I attended on opening night, and welcomed the Bynum brothers (Warmdaddy's and Relish) to grace the Top of Chestnut Hill. We enjoyed Chef Parris' company as he greeted us and shared his vision for farm to table comfort food paired with fine white linen table cloth service. \n\nThis time, we sampled around the menu and enjoyed the salmon pastrami/sweet potato cake with a delightful maple mascarponi dip, the duck, and the diver scallop (perfect sear, perfect texture) accompanied by a unique pork belly. The crab cake appetizer was all meat, just as it should be, with a creole sauce just 'dirty' enough to make us blush.\n\nThe decor is cozy yet the small venue can accommodate a large group of 10-12 at a table in the center of the room. BYOB - you can get a nice selection from the Wine and Spirit Shop, just next door. How convenient!\n\nWelcome to the neighborhood, friends - we wish you all the best!", "I was very excited to try Heirloom after reading about the type of restaurant it was going to be in articles leading up to the opening. The excitement built after I read reviews of the actual food and when I went this week...my expectations were completely met and exceeded. Our table of 5 shared the short rib and goat cheese ravioli as were were all having trouble making decisions on what to get. It was spectacular! The short rib meat paired with the goat cheese was rich and comforting and the micro greens on top added a tiny greeness that went very nicely with the richness. I also had the diver scallop and pork belly which was also amazing. It is hard to say new things about the combo of a pork product and scallop because they always have gone so well together but the pork belly added more layers of flavor to the traditional scallop wrapped in bacon. I love pork belly in small amounts and this was absolutely perfect. To continue my seafood centric meal, I had the Charleston Shrimp-Scallop Purloo. It was was spicy and tasted fresh out of a meal in Charleston SC. It tasted of the south in every good way possible. For dessert we shared the Bourbon Vanilla Creme Brulee. Which was probably the best I have ever had and I have had too many.\nChef Al Paris stopped at our table to chat and see that we were enjoying ourselves which was wonderful. After dinner we asked to see the kitchen as well and were blown away at the size and complemented everyone on a fabulous meal.\nI only wish I'd had a chance to write this review sooner as my words do not do this place justice at all. I promise you will have an absolutely wonderful meal at Heirloom.", "Great addition to Chestnut Hill.\nThis small , but very good BYO is a place that Chestnut Hill has needed for quite a while. \nIt's located in the Top of the Hill Plaza and has plenty of parking in a well lit lot so no problems there. \nThe food is on a par with the likes of Sycamore, Fond and Lotus, but not quite as good as Marigold.\nWhats nice about the new chefs is the interesting use of flavors in their dish's.\nThe heirloom tomato salad had great tasting tomato's and the dressing was light, and the greens were fresh and crisp. The salmon pastrami was excellent, but I love salmon.\nFIlet Mignon with short rib gravy and local blue cheese crumbles was tender and very tasty. The short rib pepper pot stew was not as peppery as I thought, but the short ribs were extemely tender and the pepper pot sauce was something different than the normal sauces. \nThe dessert menu is short at the present time, but the server said they are still deciding on what to have for staples for dessert. I can say that the cheescake with a thick balsamic glaze was light as air and the balsamic with the cheese cake worked very well.\nFor a place that hasn't been opened long, the service was prompt and friendly with no slip ups.\nThey take all credit cards and the bill for the above as only $78 sans tip.", "Fabulous dinner (short ribs) with amazing breadbasket by former owner of Cirque, among others. An awesome BYOB addition to Chestnut Hill dining at a reasonable price given the quality. Now we just need to get our waiter some diction lessons and this becomes 5 stars.", "Great place and great food. unexpected to find it in a strip-mall. service was excellent, only had to ask for a water refill once at the end. The chef clearly knows what he is doing, each dish was well made and thought out. My wife's favorite part was the chocolate mint they brought with the check (homemade). this was the icing on the cake, everything from beginning to end was very good.", "Everything we ate was delicious and well presented. I had the beet salad and crab cake appetizer and both were best of class. The atmosphere is amazing, especially considering this used to be an unattractive food mart. only negative was the mumbling waiter!", "Heirloom surprised me. I only realized it existed a couple days before actually going. Turns out it's a polished BYOB right next to Wine & Spirits. Dining room is obviously a complete overhaul and has a sophisticated outdoors feel. \n\nMenu casts an eclectic net of inspiration. Some twists they had on southern cooking looked very good.\n\nShort rib ravioli was a little different than I had envisioned, with one large pouch filled with short rib chunks among other things. Cherry sauce and onion jam was very good.\n\nI wanted the venison and chestnut crepe. Actually, I really wanted it. Unfortunately, others also really wanted it and it was stricken from availability. So I was forced to get the roast lamb. Life is hard. It was only delicious. Red honey chili glaze worked very well. Eggplant and tomato stack was flavorful, and sauteed grapes are always hits.", "We had been looking forward to trying Heirloom and were not disappointed. First day of their new menu and everything was excellent. Food was great, flavors interesting and creative use of ingredients (stinging nettles?). Enjoyed the salads, carpaccio, arctic char and pork tenderloin. And the desserts were just as good. Looking forward to going back again (and again). Service was friendly yet professional and timely and the room is beautiful." ]

[ "Always decent for breakfast and lunch. Everything is always fresh and the coffee doesn't taste burnt like Stsrbucks", "Oh how I love you my home away from home. I frequent this location due to its close proximity to school, and really, why would you NOT want to study at bread co? \n\nIt does get kind of packed after school because the local high school kids love coffee as much as the next person, but they have plenty of seating.\n\nGreat place to people watch and you can also get some wifi love, which helps a lot while you are trying to complete a paper and need sources in a jiffy. Yes, I did just say jiffy!", "This company is known as \"Bread Co\" in St Louis, and \"Panera\" everywhere else, but the standard is the same: clean tables, free internet, staff that won't hassle you if you while away an afternoon in leisure or at work after only having bought a tea, really great pastries, and good soups/sandwiches/salads.", "Although this is a chain restaurant, I adore this place and frequent it 2-3 times a week because it is close to my work but also cheap and keeps me full. The staff are always in a happy mood and I am loving their semi-new panera card. It is full of perks and racks up on points and I seem to almost get a free item every other time I eat here. Keep up the good work Bread Co!", "I have always loved Bread Co! You can always find something to satisfy your hunger here.\n\nI chose this location because I had an appointment at St. Johns (Mercy) and even though it was the lunch rush, I got my order in and served to me in a timely manner.\n\nThe staff was cheerful, eager to help me and cater to me.\n\nIts a great place to people watch, get some work done and enjoy your lunch break...indoors or out.\n\nI did forget about their 30 min internet cut off during their peak hours but I got the work done I needed to get done.\n\nKeep up the good work Bread Co!", "For the past couple years every Sunday after my family (brothers, cousins, grandma) goes out to St Louis Bread Co for breakfast after morning mass to talk about are week, what we are planning for the upcoming week, or just joke around. I really love this place, so I may be a little bias about my review. \n\nAfter just coming back for college, today my Grandma invited me and 2 of my cousins to lunch at this Bread Co location and have nothing but wonderful things to say. Staff was friend, food tasted great, we found opened seats right away, and ordered and got are food quickly. Most importantly this place was perfect to just sit down at a table and talk about our lives. Got to talk with my grandma and cousins about how my last semester of college went and how they were doing, so that was really cool. \n\nI ordered the Asiago Roast Beef and I would suggest that to everyone that goes there for lunch. The rest of my family ordered one of there signature salads (Asian Sesame Chicken) and had nothing but good things to say. So if you are wanting to find a good place to talk and catch up with friends or family members while getting a good bite to eat, St Louis Bread Co is the place to go.", "Chain or not this place is really great. The service is great and I really love the My Panera program that they have. Free stuff accumulates quickly! \n\n I usually do the pick two and love the Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich and Tomato Basil soup w/ croutons. Yum yum! Everything that I've ever had here is great and it's a great place for families and friends to gather for any meal and it is highly affordable.", "This location is just wonderful! \n\nI live very close nearby and frequent this location a few times a week. Even during busy times, they are always well-staffed, moving the lines quickly and remaining friendly. \n\nThe manager (one of the managers?) Anthony is really nice and he's been on the register a few times when I've been there. I think it's great that the manager pitches in and helps out when they're busy. He's very friendly and helpful and made a great recommendation last time I was in - honey almond cream cheese on their cinnamon crunch bagel OMG WOW GOOD. \n\nThanks for such a pleasant experience. Will be back again and again.", "First of all, Bread Company is not a one $ kind of place. I just paid $15 for a sandwich and a cup of soup. Also, since franchising the quality of the food and their prep work have gone way down. I got the steak and white cheddar sandwich and a cup of mushroom soup. I know the soup has always been bagged but now it's obvious that it is due to the quality of ingredients. And the sandwiches are ALWAYS just slapped together, no matter how slow or busy they are and no matter the location. Take some pride in the presentation when people are paying $10 and up for your food. I've been meaning to write this review for awhile now but put it off until now because I I was finally pushed over the edge when I had to stand and wait for a seat for 10 min whilst my food got cold. After all that, I was practically forced out of my seat right after eating in the middle of writing this review. The Bread Co. Used to be a place where you could go any time of the day and get some great food and be able to sit back and enjoy your meal and work or visit with friends. Now it's like you pay $10 or more to be herded in and out like cattle. This visit along with many others to bread co. have been the worst experiences I've had of anywhere eating out. In conclusion, the Saint Louis Bread Company is just not worth the price anymore. Oh and as I finish this review up in the parking lot, there is a mother and daughter eating their lunch in their car due to no seating. Ridiculous!", "This is one on my most visited restaurants and sometimes I want to not come here, but I can't help but do so.\n\nI have kind of lost interest in their lunch, but I can't get enough of their breakfast sandwhiches. You can't go wrong with bacon, sausage or Mediterranean egg white on ciabatta. All very tastly and filling.\n\nYou will quickly spend some cash here if you are not careful. The sandwich will set you back $4 and add a drink and side and you are up to $10. Depending on my appetite, I will get a yogurt parfait that is good, but again, not cheap." ]

[ "The Breakfast & Lunch Nook opened three weeks ago in what used to be called the Pita Hut in the Town and Country Shopping Center at Kietzke and Vassar.\nIt serves breakfast and lunch, both all hours it is open. It's a minimal menu serving diner food but they seem to do it well.\nI tried it for breakfast today and got eggs, a hamburger patty, hash browns and a half order of biscuits and gravy. The hamburger patty was lean and well cooked, the eggs were eggs. The hash browns were the only part of the meal I didn't like. Kind of gooey and I didn't like the taste.\nThe biscuits and gravy were excellent, maybe the best in town. The gravy is obviously made from scratch with nice chunks of sausage and soft biscuits. \nThe lunch menu is pretty simple as well. Open-faced sandwiches, hamburger or other sandwiches, salads. It's diner food done right.", "Great breakfast spot. They really do it up right here. It's not the fastest place in the world so don't plan on being in and out in 15-20mins. Sit down and enjoy yourself here. The owners are very nice and really go the extra mile for you. Bone in hamsteak, farm fresh eggs and great homemade biscuits will warm your morning!", "Rene and Dave hook it up right. Both breakfast and Lunch are killer.", "This has new owners. They offer special brunches on weekends and I stopped by to try one.\nI got the pork chop with eggs over easy and two kinds of potatoes. They started me with what the chef called a little something. it was lamb on a potato preparation. The mint was a bit strong and overwhelmed the lamb but otherwise it was nice.\nI got a fruit salad with the brunch meal and it was fruit cocktail from a can. The pork chop was nice and thick and well cooked. The grilled flavor was strong. I got both roasted potatoes and au gratin potatoes. The roasted potatoes were a bit soggy but the au gratin potato was quite nice. The eggs were eggs.\nI like this place and I expect I'll eat here again.", "This place is a true gem! Our family stumbled upon The Breakfast & Lunch Nook over Memorial Day at a basketball tournament. Our first breakfast was so delicious we returned again for another treat. I enjoyed healthy, fresh tasting egg dishes each time and my daughter had \"the best hamburger\" she's ever had. It was such a wonderful surprise to find this place. Chef David was thoughtful and inspired. If you are in Reno, you MUST try this place--I would eat there at least once a week if it was nearby.", "Its cute and colorful. Very nice service, kind.\nThe Reuben Sandwich was soooo good. In the summer time for dinner the owner's sun - Jay runs the kitchen, he is a great chef. I recommend this place for a simple calm meal, away from the casino buffets. Food is served with care.", "Been looking for a better breakfast place for awhile now - where the food is good and you don't wait an hour to get in. This place hit the spot on all fronts. It's quiet, and small - maybe 40 seater, with 12 of those seats outside. The menu isn't huge but that's okay. They make up for it by ensuring it's fresh, cooked to order and really tasty. We tried some regular menu standards - breakfast sandwich and a chicken fried steak - in both cases, got far more (quality-wise) than we were expecting. I'll be back to try the brunch specials, and the weekend dinner service looks pretty good, too.", "Tried it for lunch today. The people were nice and food arrived promptly. Prices range from $6 to $8 for lunch items and $4.50 to $8 for breakfasts. We had one of each. My husband's breakfast had four thick, meaty strips of bacon and big, perfectly cooked eggs. He ate every bite of his meal, unusual for him. My french dip sandwich was pretty good (a tad chewy, but at least it was real roast beef). The fries were OK. It's clean and appears to be freshly painted. Some people would have thought it was too warm in there (in spite of a fan), but I enjoyed the change from the chilliness of many restaurants.", "Friday morning, only 2 other patrons in the place and it took about 5 minutes to even get a menu. When she put the menus down she didnt ask if we wanted anything to drink. We finally get drinks and my coffee sits empty the entire time until i wave her down everytime i want a refill. My omelet came with olives which i did not order. our food took about 20 minutes to arrive which in a diner with 2 other customers should not be the case. Both of our breakfasts were very mediocre. The cook came out and apologized for the olives but no discount or anything of that nature was offered. The cook, presumably the owner was very friendly but the server was an overall fail and the food wasnt much better. This is a pass in the future for me.", "Easy parking. Good food. reasonable priced.\nFeel like dining at some 5 star restaurant. \"Head chef\" personally come out to make sure the food is up to standard." ]

[ "This is one of my favorite lunch spots. What can I say?... I just love them Mexican food. El Rey isn't the best mexican, but it does its job. I haven't really had any REAL MEXICAN in Nashvegas, but so what... it does the job for now. \n\nThe chips and salsa, it's a hit or miss. somedays the chips and salsa is off the hook, I think they make their sauce b/c the taste varies. But the chips are stale at times, which sucks. don't ever get anything w/ their beef unless you're paying the premium for some carne asada. If you order from their combo menu, the beef is straight up ground beef and it's not that good. I suggest to get everything chicken from their combo menu. You know that a place isn't real Mexican if they don't have HORCHATA up in the casa. This is a big no, no for me. \n\nHowever, they have really good service. Although it gets pretty hectic during lunch, the staff is always friendly and will get you whatever you need.", "They sure get you in and out pretty fast for lunch, and the prices are GREAT. Other than that, exactly like 95% of any other cheap-ass Mexican restaurant (which, for me, is sometimes exactly what I need).", "MARGARITA MONDAAAAAAAAAAAAY!\n\nI'm SO all about it! Guuuuurrrrl, you know I ate and drank my way through Nashville! \n\nI was feeling down and asked around about Margarita Monday and some chick in a souvenir shop told me they had bomb food. She was right. Despite the ghetto-ness of the food, it was bomb. Margarita's weren't too shabby. At first, I was like- Ewwww, they're too sweet. \n\nBut then I stood up, and well, they were also full of tequila. So no complaining there! As for food, I'm sure the real food would be off the chain, however...I didn't really order the real food because I was planning on a large meal later that day. So, I had a chile relleno and a side salad. The salsa was good, the salad was decent. By that I mean that the side salad was as good as it probably could have been. The avocado sauce (trust momma when I say it couldn't be referred to as guacamole) was also tasty. Here comes the pro/con---all stuffed in one damn tasty chile relleno. The filling for it was some horrendous concoction that I could not describe. It was like, pulverized ground beef mixed with pureed refried beans. Unfortunately for me, it tasted really, really good. So I can't complain that much, can I? Especially since the chile was of good quality and very well breaded and fried. Over all, I enjoyed the food, the 2 margaritas, and the service was more than decent. Slow...but attentive.", "For a cheap Mexican place, El Rey is pretty run-of-the-mill. Decent chips and salsa at the table, a menu full of burritos, tacos, and refried beans, and plenty of margaritas and beer. But it is the perfect lunch when you are hungover at work. Yes I know from experience. \n\nIf you are downtown for a concert or festival, or just kicking around for the day, it's a quick stop to refuel. No matter how crowded it is, the tables turn pretty quickly so don't let the crowds scare you.\n\nNot the best Mexican food I've had, but it does the trick.", "El Rey is pretty awesome! For a cheap Mexican place downtown, it can't be beat. The margaritas are pretty good, but I have certainly had better. The tacos are not too bad, except sometimes the mystery meat inside is a bit chewy! Sounds unappetizing, but its not that bad.\n\nOverall this place is decent, the price is right, and it is super quick. Also, the people who work there are really nice too. Try the margaritas!", "I wasn't impressed by El Rey's food, although the service was great and I like their improvised seedy-but-trying-to-pass-as-family-style vibe (really, I don't mean that sarcastically.) Despite the mediocre quality of the food, I remember El Rey fondly - probably because the people who work there seem really nice, and because they gave me a chance to practice my Spanish listening skills. And because I got to witness an aging biker dude showing off for a biker chick by insisting over and over again that the staff of El Rey needed to make him an oversized margarita. \n\nIf you're looking for fine Mexican food, don't come to El Rey. The soup I ordered was good and spicy, but the shrimp tasted like it was straight out of the freezer, and the avocado wasn't ripe. My friend said his fajitas tasted fine, but the ingredients weren't the best in terms of quality. However, if you're looking for a quirky, memorable dining experience, stop by El Rey for some good people watching, or to escape the corporate chaos of 2nd Ave N.", "I live downtown, and El Rey is a regularly called craving satisfier for my boyfriend and I. It's not gourmet, and the margaritas have a bit of that pre-made mix taste, but overall, I loves. Totally reasonable/cheap prices, and the food is delicious. Not even close to nutritious, but delicious. Plus, amazing happy hour beer specials, almost everyday. If you're downtown, and you want good (filling!) food, low price, and pre-game-alicious beers and margaritas, go to El Rey.", "This is what I expect from a Mexican restaurant: Fast service, chip w/ fresh salsa, and my food served hot. For that, El Rey's and me have \"no beef\" w/ each other. \n\nAs for something outstanding... it's not here. But you will see me here during the week anytime I feel like Mexican food.", "The food is alright, though I prefer Las Palmas. A friend of mine ate flies in their quesadillas. Disgusting right? But so true. Don't really enjoy the lining up to pay thing. Too much trouble. Only thing I like is it is a convenient place to eat from work.", "I want to give this 4.5 stars\n\nAuthentic-Check\n\nBest dam cheese sauce in the state (the super melted montery jack with some chopped hot peppers)-Check\n\nPrice (inexpensive)-Check\n\nCervesa prico-Check\n\nLocation-Check\n\nService-Acceptable\n\nTaste-Mmmmmmm\n\nWe ordered a variety of foods-nachos (chips, cheese sauce and meat - no veggies at all), tacos, more chips, salsa, sides, more chips and drinks. Then, more drinks. \n\nThe staff were very courtious and hard workers. Ellos se ganan la punta de aquí (they earn their tip here ).\n\nI'm a regular now!" ]

[ "This unassuming little place in Glassboro, NJ, of all places, is probably now my favorite place to go for Chinese food, now that House of Chen is closed in Chinatown. I know, bold statement, right? It's actually Asian fusion, as they have a mega-extensive menu of Chinese and Japanese staples. I don't eat sushi, but from what I've heard from my co-diners, this place's sushi is very good, and they even have an all-you-can-eat sushi night on Wednesday (I think, unless they've changed their tune recently). The food is good, the price is right, and the service is outstanding. It's definitely a treat for those of us stuck living in South Jersey, but with Philly-style tastes. \n\nThis is going to sound stupid: All of their food is really delish, but my favorite part of going to Tokyo Mandarin - Their white rice. I swear. It's just SO good. I don't know why... it's just the right amount of sticky. And oh so good. Mock me if you will, but I purposely order things that come with a side of white rice (most of it does, but I always make sure).\n\nI discovered this place while I attended Rowan back in the day, and I like to venture back every now and then with the BF for some yumness. For being on a college campus, I've never really seen it super packed, and there's a good mixed demographic in there, not just a bunch of frat kids all the time, so that's nice. Very cheesey decor, in a good way, and they have cute little booths to one side with pillows and stuff - very Asian-y. Tokyo Mandarin is definitely a good time.", "** March 28 2014: just found out that they have reopened. Will check out tonight.\n\n**July 23,2013 - CLOSED! Not just closed, TORN DOWN! Website only indicates the Sewell location called Mandarin Court.**\n\nI live near Glassboro and this is the restaurant that I go to for two reliable foods:\n1. really good sushi\n2. really good hot and sour soup\n\nIn fact, this is the ONLY place in the area I would go to for either of those. I always make my initial judgment about a Chinese restaurant on their hot-n-sour, and this place won the prize in the Glassboro/Washington Twp area, hands down.\n\nThere are sushi spots popping up all over the area, but this Japanese-Chinese restaurant turns out to be the most reliable for good, fresh product. \n\nVery nice ambiance as well, particularly if you can sit at a booth.", "This is a great place for sushi and Chinese food. Always great specials and a delicious meal no matter what you order.", "Okay, my review is a little biased since I went with a few friends, and one of our friends' dad was with us-- he's a sushi chef here. \n\nThe service was awesome. The food is good, especially their seaweed salad with avocado. OMFG, this stuff was good! They mixed it with some kind of creamy mayo and put avocado on the side. I'm not a fan of avocado but even the seaweed by itself was amazing. \n\nSashimi was plentiful and cut thick, and the rolls were delicious (with pieces that weren't huge and hard to chew). We even got one at the end with mango, and I would have to say that I was my favorite one of the night.\n\nLike I said, my review is biased. I didn't order, so I don't know if the things we got were even on the menu. But no matter what you get, the food is good and solid (and the big group next to us were raving about their Chinese dishes).", "I've lived in South Jersey all my life and I can't believe I've never been to this place. The sashimi cuts are THICK and the fish is SOOO fresh. I found out they get FRESH fish shipments 6 days a week. It's definitely a place to try out especially if it's you're first time for sushi.\n\nUnfortunately the location isn't very convenient, but it's great for locals since there's pretty much never a wait. I'm definitely going back again!!\n\nAlso, the sushi chef like to show off a few new rolls. They have one wrapped with mango that is absolutely perfect for the summertime.", "I'm probably one of the pickiest eaters in all of south jersey and swore to never eat chinese again after an incident in my younger years, but strangely found the urge one day and ordered from this place and, WOW was my mind changed. Granted, I like the more plain menu items (steamed chicken w/ mixed veggies is my favorite) and it was sooo fresh and was full of flavor - especially the veggies. tokyo mandarin brought a newfound confidence in asian food.\n\nit also wasn't until recently that my gf presuaded me to finally try sushi (I'm not a fan of seafood whatsoever) and tried a roll from here as a second occasion and it didn't disappoint - again, very fresh and flavorful.\n\nI highly recommend this place for asian cuisine if you're anywhere near glassboro area. def a must.", "One of my favorite sushi / Chinese places when I was in college. I would stop by at least once a month. The lunch specials were cheap and delicious. I am honestly happy to see they are still doing well and all these yelpers are fans!", "One of my favorite sushi places! The spicy tuna roll is very creamy and the edamame is steamed with vanilla beans I think and is different and yummy. They have all you can eat sushi at a great price and everything is always yummy and fresh!", "Its a small place but i went here on a whim. I had the tofu and vegtable with rice. And hot and sour soup. THe broth was home made, not can!! yes. very good. I loved this place it is quiet and quaint a nice refreshing place very intimate.", "The bottom line: Excellent sushi, reasonably priced, BYOB, good service. \nIf you like sushi or Chinese food I highly recommend this place. \n\nI recommend the sushi for two. Ample portion, good sushi and a good value. Also, try their ice creams - Red Beet and Green Tea. They are delicious. Tried finding them in stores with no success.\n\nPrices are reasonable.

The wait time for our food seemed longer than usual, and I noticed other patrons asking about their orders. I would write this off to a new location except that they've been there for about 5 months.

The prices are fair when you consider that this is basically just simple diner food. We've had both breakfasts and lunches. The egg omelets are generously portioned and have a good amount of ingredients stuffed in them. It tastes fresh and not overly complicated. The breakfast egg sandwich is a large sandwich, full of eggs, lots of cheese, and bacon. The biscuits and gravy are decent and very fairly priced. The burgers are nothing special and are probably just frozen patties, but they are edible. The club sandwich was simple and good enough. Overall, the food is consistent and simple American breakfast food.\n\nThe service is hit or miss sometimes. At times it is good, and at other times, they are understaffed, so tables or people waiting to be seated get overlooked for a little bit too long. When we get our \"regular\" waitress, the service is great! They are all mostly nice and friendly, however.

Horrible. The gravy was salty. I mean Dead Sea salty as was the roast beast (no type). The closest thing I can compare it to would be using beef jerky made with Steak-ups. It was hard and chewy and remarkably springy...like over-cooked calamari or accidentally chewing a condom , and of course, salted to within an inch of my life.\nI took about 4 bites before the salt content built up too much in my mouth that I couldn't push anything past my puckered lips.\nMy girly wanted me to point out that in her defense, the waitress took my food(?) off the bill without being asked.

It wouldn't ever be my first choice for a meal but if it were really late/very early and nothing else was open I'd probably venture here again if I was stuck in the area." ]

[ "Red Sombrero... what can I say about this place? Nothing... that isn't awesome!\n\nRed Sombrero is a little burrito joint hidden next to Starbucks in Kennett Square just off Baltimore Pike. You won't just notice it -- it is on the backside corner facing the strip mall. But trust me -- if you think Baja Fresh is the bomb, you are in for a wonderful surprise at Red Sombrero!\n\nThe menu is certainly more than just burritos. It is quite large for a walk up burrito joint. But the money is in the burrito. I've eaten here three times and the burritos are always fresh, hot and full of wonderful flavors. There are half a dozen or so different burritos on the menu, or you can build your own. You get free chips and salsa with every order -- and 6 different types of salsa in the salsa bar ranging from pedestrian to burn your mouth off hot. I am partial to the Red Wine Salsa myself.\n\nAt the end of the day, I wish this place was closer to home. I only get to visit when I work down that way and I have a light day at work. But the service is fast and friendly and the burritos are second-to-none! I highly recommend!\n\nOverall:\nAtmosphere: 5/5 - You order at the counter, but they bring your food out to you -- and they are super friendly!\nService: 5/5\nFood: 5/5\nPrice: 5/5 - $6-10 per meal\nOverall: 5/5", "As soon as you walk into Red Sombrero you're immediately welcomed by the friendly and vibrant staff!! I'm especially fond of their shrimp tacos and their salsa bar, especially the red wine salsa! Order at the counter and your food is brought to you promptly every time. \n\n\nPast few visits they've featured a drink that they always let me sample....I'm partial to the Horchata, it's made from ground almonds...who knew? Not me!\n\nRed Sombrero is a bit hidden, next to Starbucks...so go find it and eat as much salsa as you can!", "Delicious food at a great price. You're definitely not still hungry when you're done. I love the salsa bar. A lot of variety and good level of spice. The salsa verde is wonderful. I've been here prob 6+ times and I've never been disappointed. The owner and staff are very friendly too. In an area with a lot of Mexican food options, I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a faster meal. Much much better than a chipotle or other chain restaurant.", "First time here. I ordered a Todo Bien burrito, and it was great! Large portion, good ingredients, and great customer service. Very satisfied!", "The Red Sombrero was a great find on my trek down Route 1 today. It's disguised to look like a chipotle of sorts, but the food is actually all made to order, fresh. I'm not talking scooping premade meats and toppings into your tortilla, but actually freshly grilled and prepared just for you. The service is excellent, the guy taking my order was very friendly, the staff who the delivered the food also friendly. I thought it was a great value, especially considering it is fresh unlike a california tortilla, qdobe or chipotle. It had the taste and quality of genuine mexican food you get at a restaurant, in a quick service establishment. I ordered the Fajbrito, which was a burrito with fajita toppings in it. The chicken had a great flavor and seasoning. The peppers and onions were piping hot. The Jalapenos were fresh cut, not the pickled tasteless from a jar kind. Probably one of the best burritos I've ever had. I will definitely be stopping here again.", "Food tastes good, customer service appalling. Frequently get orders wrong. Bad management skills", "People are nice here. But we waited 18 mins in total to get burritos and fish tacos. Food is not bad. The management needs to improve.", "I love this place. Hands down, best mexican food in the area. If I get take out, I either get it here or Giordiano's. I hope they stay in business for many years.", "I am not from around here, but I had a fabulous experience here. The owner was so kind and generous and the food was dare I say it, better than chipotle! I had the burrito with pork and it was so flavorful and the waitresses were more than helpful with getting me extra cheese when I asked. My friends got the chili soup and a sandwich (I forgot which type) and they stuffed themselves silly. The food is prepared fresh before every service and the salsas are made every day. Everything is delicious and the restaurant was beautiful!", "Really small hole in the wall type establishment at that location that is not really conducive to anything other than a fast food meal. They don't seem to advertise, and you'd never know it existed or was there unless you happened to stumble upon it while you were in that particular shopping center. Local here who happened to stumble upon it about a month ago - glad I did. Though I live nearby I never knew it was there. While you CAN eat there, as they have a few tables, it is better for takeout, on the go type meals. Grab and go. Far superior, bigger portions and much quicker service than something like Taco Hell. Good stuff on a really small menu. Great prices. Fairly quick orders, friendly help and management and very tasty stuff. Seems to be geared mainly to the locals who know the place rather than a chipotle type eatery - where you wait 20+ minutes in line before even placing order. Call in orders for take out takes all of five minutes. Very quick take out. Heartily recommend. Give it a try." ]

[ "Just like its sister location up in Green Hills the food here is great. Finally a chain that knows how to do fast and friendly Italian (as well as Asian and American) pastas! And for the price, you can't beat it.\n\nThe food here is really good. For example, for me at least, the chicken noodle soup here is perfection in a bowl... seriously, just add some matzo balls and it tastes as good as what I make (my fiance will can vouch for how good my matzo ball soup is as she often requests it)!\n\nFinally, unique to this location is a semi-automated, touch screen, beverage dispensing system for Coca-cola product. If you want more than just the typical Sprite, Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper and 1 or 2 other random Coca-cola options, this has an immense selection. Maybe this is the first of many of the future soda fountain machines?", "I was excited to see this place pop up recently as I am a fan of noodles of all types... Italian, Thai, American, etc. I've been twice with my husband, and I've been pleased. The food is pretty good... not amazing, but for a quick inexpensive lunch or dinner, it does the trick. The variety of the menu is a plus. I like that there are regular and small portions, so that I don't walk out of there uncomfortably full. If I were comparing the food to nice restaurants with authentic food/menus, I'd give this place 3 stars... but for the type of 'fast food\" restaurant it is, it's a very solid choice! I even thought the soup was pretty good that I had.\n\nOh, and the staff there is VERY nice! Usually a manager or owner comes by to ask how everything is, and staff checks on you for drink refills and take your plates. That's a plus for a fast food joint. My only complaint is the fancy soda machine with the touch screen. I'm a straight up Coca Cola chic, and both times, the coke was way off. However, if you'd like diet vanilla grape coke with lime, you can get it!\n\nThis place will definitely be on our rotation of quick dinners during the week.", "I like this place! it has a wide selection of pasta dishes, and everything I have had so far has been very good. It's fast casual, with a very good service atmosphere. The food has always been delivered really quickly...and the staff has always come around to collect the dishes and check on me.\n\nAs the others have mentioned, the drink machine here is pretty awesome. I only drink water, but I was told this soda fountain does 200 drink combinations. I had seen this prototype a few years back in a special Coca-Cola was doing. It's really cool to see this thing in action.\n\nAnother thing that impressed me about this place - I tweeted about being there. And the next day I got a personal message back from them. They are obviously into customer service from the corporate level down to the bellboy.", "The food was really good, and the staff was *incredibly* friendly and helpful. It has a family friendly, pleasant atmosphere with enough variety for everyone. The kids loved the soda machine, and my only complaint was that the water out of the machine tasted really bad--not sure why. We will definitely come here again, though!", "Love this place. The mac and cheese with meatballs and the spaghetti are both terrific. And the drink machine is always fun.\nBe sure and try one of their rice krispie desserts.", "If you work in or around Cool Springs and want a good lunch spot, Noodles & Company is a really good spot. There's a lot of variety - from Italian, to Japan, to Thai - as well as sandwich and salad options too. \n\nPerhaps a bit on the pricier side, it's well worth it when you consider the fresh ingredients, and that everything is made to order - so much so that you can customize any dish - add or remove ingredients as you see fit. \n\nAlso their website/app make it super easy to order, so you can do a quick pickup if you're in a rush.", "(I only give 5 stars to completely vegetarian restaurants; this one serves meat.)\n\nCool little place! I was looking for a place close to my hotel, and this one was. It's right behind the Courtyard and Residence Inn in a very, very nice corporate-type area.\n\nYou go in and order your food at a counter, get a number, then they bring it to you. The place is cute and super clean. I asked what was vegetarian on the menu, and the girl was VERY accommodating saying anything could be made without the meat; I appreciate that.\n\nI wasn't starving, so I just had a bowl of delicious tomato soup, and a bowl of egg noodles. OMG, the noodles (in butter, of course) were fantastic. They were perfectly cooked and had parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. They were so good, that when I got home, I went out and bought egg noodles to try and replicate them (mine weren't as good).\n\nI enjoyed my meal here. There's plenty of free parking and it's a friendly, low-key, casual atmosphere. The prices were very reasonable! My meal cost hardly anything. When in this area again, I will be back!", "Yum! I was really pleased with my meal at Noodles & Company. It felt a little risky ordering one of the Asian noodle dishes in this chain noodle restaurant, but I wasn't expecting ultra-authentic Japanese udon noodles. I was really satisfied with my meal. I added shrimp to the dish, which made for a good combo. \n\nI didn't realize Noodles & Company offered such a cool, semi-\"trendy\" variety of noodle dishes. They offer a truffle mac 'n cheese (which I couldn't justify ordering because of the calorie count.. which is posted next to each item on the Noodles & Company menu). There's also a pesto pasta dish. Anything is customizable it seems - what proteins and veggies you want in your dish. There wasn't an advertised option to start completely from scratch where you got to pick your noodle, then sauce, then veggies, etc. Not that I would care so much for that option, but I'd say Noodles & Company would work with you on it if you should choose.\n\nGlad there's one closer to me, in Green Hills.", "Very tasty. Maybe a bit pricey for portions but good, fresh food. Easily taken as to go order if staying at local hotels.", "It's ok for the price.

The food is predictable, which for me is ok. If you find a favorite it stays similar so that tells me the food prep staff has low turn over. The Bar staff is on the ball and also seems to have low turn over...another good sign. \n\nOver all the menu has a few items you'll request over and over again. My one complaint is they are salt/pepper/oregano happy on basic items such as cheese steaks...Guys, let me spice it my self!", "Some may consider skeeters a dive however in the past few years they have really made the place great. They have hands down in my opinion some of the best bar food. The bartenders are always friendly. It's my go to happy hour stop.", "Great place to just hang out and grab some food. Quick service and lots of tv's.", "I have been to this establishment dozens of times over the years and have had a nice time.... recently I noticed that Skeeters is advertising 1/2 price wings on Wednesday nights, so I went only to be charged full price... I talked to the bartender and she said skeeters is \"charging full price if their is a playoff game on that night???\" - she agreed this policy was nonsense and that I should talk the the manager - the manager came over to speak with me and when I asked him why my bill was not accurate, he advised \"unfortunately if a playoff game is on that night, there is no wing special\". I responded \"where I could see that on the menu or in the bar'.... his response \"sorry, but it doesn't work that way\", sorry I can't help you\"..... \nSkeeters is a second class place that over charges their patrons.... If you plan on ordering anything that appears to be a special, you may want to confirm with the waitress prior to having them steal your money, and advise you on \"how things work\"", "Decent beer menu. 1/2 price wings on Wednesdays. There are about 10 TVs in this place so you always know what the score is. \n\nI would recommend the onion rings and any wing flavor. I would not recommend the wings for takeout though.\n\n Parking is plentiful and there is plenty of seating. Even have outdoor seating when it's warm. Not bad for a neighborhood bar. \n\nOh, and they're attached to a liquor store.", "I've never had a bad experience at Skeeters. It's never too loud, the bar is big and spacious. The food is decent and it's easy to watch sports games there. Drinks are priced right for the type of area. It's cleaner then most bars and the crowd is a little more maturer then a lot of other places.", "I have been here a bunch of times, usually for after work drinks and a meal. The food is really good and they have a decent selection of beers. My friends and I visited the outside bar and ordered mixed drinks which were over priced for the amount of liqueur you get. The waitress asks you if you want a single or double each time you order as if they receive a lot of complaints about the amount of liqueur. I've had a vodka pineapple in a lot of bars. Granted, some may overdue the vodka... I couldn't even taste it. When we asked our server for less juice and more liqueur she suggested to get a double shot. Which should have gave me a buzz, but didn't. They either water their drinks down or have smaller portions. My friend who was a bartender agreed.\n\nOverall nice place but stay away from mixed drinks.", "I have driven past this place a few times, finally stopped in for a Friday night get together with some coworkers. My plan was to have a few and save my drinking strength for the AC Food & Wine Festival the next day. Well two rounds of shots, and 6 rounds of Guinness, my plan of scaling back for the Festival was out the window. \nI can't really review the food because I only had chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks.

I go there with my family a lot. They have a large bar with a good selection, and the food is reasonably priced and pretty good.\n\nI wouldn't recommend the night scene.

I frequent it often.", "Decent atmosphere, plenty of TV's, good for NFL games, NHL and MLB. But bring earplugs. Unless there's an Eagles game on or NHL or MLB playoffs, the dance club music blasting from the sound system, (no jukebox) is hard to hold a conversation over. Prices are middling, nothing cheap nor overly expensive, service OK, but if you're sitting at the bar and want to order food, you have to get a waitress and deal with two tabs which is bullshit as barmaids don't serve food." ]

After waiting 35 minutes we were seated by a very nice hostess and that is probably the only positive aspect of our trip. Our Waiter Jhaaron was less than knowledgeable about the menu, unable to answer any questions we had about the food. After bringing only one drink and completely forgetting about the other we were less than pleased. He was also unable to suggest anything for us and it was quite easy to tell that his answers were mere guesses. We ended up asking other passing waiters and waitresses for things we needed because our server came by the table multiple times without the food we had ordered. We both agreed that we would not be back to Cheddar's, as it was a very dissatisfying experience.", "I understand that this place has just opened in the last month, so that could have much to do with my experience. The place is beautiful, and nicely decorated, so that was a plus! My friend ordered a featured pomegranate margarita, and ordered it frozen with a sugar rim. It came on the rocks with salt, and it was terrible. All sweet and sour mix. We sent it back and got it taken off the bill. Onion rings were good, and there's a lot of them for the cheap price, so that was also a plus. My friend ordered the pot roast. The server said it was the best thing they have, and that it was made with veal. I found that to be odd, because the menu just says its made with beef, and did not specify veal. It also seemed awfully cheap to be veal. Honestly, our server didn't know much about the menu at all, so we didn't pressure her for more info. If it is made with veal, don't you think that should be stated? It's a bit of a controversial item for some, and I know some people would not want to eat it. Either way, it was pretty bland and the celery that was in it was raw. I ordered the mushroom swiss burger. The menu says they're cooked medium-well, but I ordered it medium. It came out well done and under seasoned. It didn't taste like anything at all. I thought a burger would be a safe bet, but it was not good at all. The caesar salad that came with our meal was drenched in dressing. It actually dripped off the lettuce when you picked it up, making it completely soggy. When the server noticed my burger was on a quarter eaten she asked if it was ok. I told her that it was not good (overcooked and under seasoned). I expected her to apologize for the inconvenience, and offer something else. Instead, she agreed that it wasn't good and told me that she didn't like that burger either, and other customers were complaining about them as well. Don't you think I would have liked to have known that!? A good server would have had recommendations and would have steered me away from that item. Without offering anything else, she says to me well next time you come back get something other than a burger. Now she was young, and didn't really know any better, so I don't even think she realized what she said, but trust me when I say there probably won't be a \"next time\". I'm thankful it was at least cheap.\n\nOn a side note: A few of their drinks are limited to two per guest. I asked why and was told because they're very \"strong\". I don't like being told what to do, so that irritated me. Apparently you can order as many martinis as you want and get wasted, but you can't have more than two fruity cocktails with only one kind of liquor! Apparently when you request to have more than two of these the manager has to come over and see if you're too drunk before he/she approves it. I envision table side sobriety tests. If the margarita was any indication of their drink quality, don't worry. No one is getting drunk here.", "Server tori was wonderful. I had the fried shrimp & fries with potato soup. I arrived during the rain storm no one inside really knew what to do. They told me the back dining room was closed the servers were there drying off. The mens restroom was full of trash falling on the floor. One of the employees was in there doing facebook or reading Email or texting. Not very impressive for my first to this Cheddars. When I ordered my Shrimp dinner it came with 2 sides I asked for fries & soup. When I asked Tori to upgrade the soup to a bowl it was fine with her. Later she returned and told me the manager said I was not allowed to do the bowl only the cup and there would be a 99 cent upcharge to my order.I asked to speak to a manager, later Tori returned & said the manager would let me have the bowl for the cup upcharge.

She kept checking back with us and acknowledged the delay. She even brought us a plate with three fresh croissants to eat while we wait for our entrees. I thought this was a nice touch. Also, she said, \"I'm really sorry, I know it's been 30 minutes since you ordered.\" We weren't too put out, we were enjoying our cocktails and each others company. Victoria kept this review from being 2 stars, but I still couldn't give it four stars. However, if the review was ONLY about her, it would have been 5 stars.

Our first visit was the day it opened, and we had some issues with food temperature, but the server was attentive and met our every need. We summed it up to \"opening day\" issues. \nWell it has been several weeks or more since then and we decide to return. The service tonight was the worse service I ever had at a restaurant. We agreed to let them separate our group of 8 to make it easier on them. They apparently didn't assign a waiter to one of the tables. We had to tell our server and he then went to their table also. One person waited over 45 minutes for a glass of wine. They finally brought her the wrong wine. She sent it back only then to have to go to the bar herself and to be told that they don't even carry the wine she ordered. Shouldn't the server of known that? Food orders were screwed up. Two at our table order the half sandwich/half salad dishes. The third ordered a full sandwich. All of us received half orders. Other salads were ordered with meals and either never came or came when the meal was brought. Two at the other table order half sandwich/half side and were brought whole sandwiches instead. The server never returned to refill drinks or see if anything was needed. We finally asked to speak to a manager when he did finally come back. The manager proceeded to pretty much argue with us and actually said \"Well the servers are wearing down and are tired\". REALLY? Your going to try and use that excuse. He even argues with us regarding the menu as if we were supposed to know the menu ahead of time! He did finally apologize and said he would comp our meal and would have to bring us a bill for the alcohol (about $15 for 3 drinks). After waiting another 15-20 minutes for him to return, which he never did, we walked out. On the way out we met our server, who I handed over the money for the drinks. I told him that we were disappointed and that he was a terrible server. He tells me, \"yeah, well that's your opinion.\" Again,REALLY? TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE service. And when is it appropriate to argue and make excuses with a very unhappy group of people? Sorry Cheddar's, you lost our business forever.", "I'm a rather skeptical of new restaurants and usually will wait until the \"masses\" have been before I venture in the door.

Best thing we did!\n\nJessica immediately made us feel at home and helped to explain their concept and certain dishes that she enjoys. I had the Cagen chicken with black beans and chopped tomatoes . . . sounds rather boring, but the taste was AMAZING!!! And the entire dish had only 490 calories! Jessica suggested we try one of the $.99 desserts - I had the strawberry shortcake and it too was amazing! Can't be the price, right?\n\nSo when it came time to return to O'Fallon, IL last night - we had to go to Cheddar's! We walked in at 9:30 PM on a Saturday night and it was full, but we also ate in the bar again this time. We walked in and a server we used to have at Chava's in Soulard is now working at the bar in Cheddar's! Great to see Steven again.\n\nHad the same exact dishes as we did Monday night and I can't wait to go to Cheddar's again REAL soon. \n\nMy only complaint is that the restaurant is beautiful . . . sometimes the food takes a long time one you order to get your order served . . . and the lighting is too dark with the dark woodwork in the restaurant. They need to retrofit their halogen lighting to LED MR16 bulbs - can you tell I'm in that business?

Food is decent!!", "Very nicely decorated restaurant, very busy lunch crowd... but very worst burger I've had in years. Some confusion about our order caused a delay so the burger was in the \"oven\" ( warmer) for about 20 minutes. Burger was extremely dry, had a small amount of cheese on it. They left the onion off entirely. Menu states 1/2 pound burger. Seemed like 1/4 pound size to me. I get half pound burgers at many restaurants, this was much smaller.\nThe hamburger was very compressed like it had been frozen, and not the taste of good quality ground beef. I did like the Cheddar's sauce. The manger came and talked with us about the delay in getting our food, he said he would be back once we got our food but he never returned.\nThey did not charge for my meal so that was nice.

It wasn't good scrapple to begin with, and the deep-frying only made it worse. (For those who turn their nose up at scrapple: yes, there is a difference in scrapple quality. See Kraftwork for the high end of the scrapple spectrum.)\n\nAside from the scrapple, everything else was just fine here. The breakfast special was very reasonably priced.

As you pass by the deli case, you turn the corner and the hostess seats you in one of dozens of very comfortable booths, some of which can seat 6 people.

The waitresses are super friendly and very competent. Free refills on all drinks (I get the excellent iced coffee). I love their cajun chicken sandwich, which I order with a side of raw onion and a side of honey mustard. I also sometimes get their deli turkey hoagie, which is enormous, and I end up eating half and taking the other half home with me. Their cheesesteaks are not the greatest, but they're decent. My parents love the fish platters, and it's just a friendly, comfortable place with excellent service, free pickles, comfortable booths, all you can drink drinks, fair prices, and great food.

Since we discovered them we have been coming more often.\nYou can never miss with suggestions from the wait staff. Service is top-notch and never rushed but appropriately paced.

We travel 25 minutes just to get our pizzas from this place, but the gas and mileage is worth it. The pizzas are great, definitely made with fresh ingredients (I particularly recommend the eggplant pizza, which is liberally topped with lightly fried pieces of eggplant), and best of all, there are several different sizes to choose from. In my family, not everyone can always decide on a topping, so we each get a mini (10 inch) pizza of our own. The calzones are also quality. Try the pepperoni rolls! And for lunch, you can get, as we used to say up North, \"a coke and a slice.\"", "The pizza is excellent. \nThe staff is awesome, especially Jessica...she made the trip from T-Town worth it. \n\nI'll def go back.", "This place has the BEST PIZZA in Florida.

All of their food is wonderful, the sandwiches are real NY style hero's and the salads are just amazing. Gotta have the garlic rolls too! At the end of your meal you must have the Zeppole's, they are the BEST!! They also have a great choice of wines, and they serve beer as well. Its definitely the best restaurant around!", "Staff is young and enjoyable, the pizza however is inconsistant on the bake. Sometimes the pizza is burnt and dry, other times they get it right.

Papa John's Pizza is my favorite!", "The only item on the menu that I have tried was their pizza. I have had pizza from just about every pizza place around here and I have to say their was the best local pizza!", "great value. best local pizza. no delivery which stinks, but worth the drive. the zepolis (sp?) are good too.", "After hearing good things about this pizza place I decided to check it out. The pizza was just as good as several reviewers and visitors have said.\n\nIt was not overly greasy, had a good amount of tomato sauce (not like some pizza places in Brandon which drench the pizza in sauce), a fair amount of cheese though I added some parmesan to my pizza because like my pizza to have a cheesier taste. The slices were huge, which was great because it tasted so good. The pepperoni was also much better than any pepperoni I have had in some time so I especially enjoyed that part of my meal. The garlic roll was only $0.50 so I tried that out and it was pretty good (though I should have had some marinara sauce to dip it in. They have a very fair price for soft drinks from their fountain and they also offer customer rewards so you can save money if you go there enough.\n\nIf this place delivered I would never called Dominos, Papa Johns, or Pizza Hut again. My experience here has made me want to explore the pizza scene in Tampa.", "This place has a good pizza, but my favorite items are the antipasta salad and the PINWHEELS! I've never really ordered antipasta salad anywhere, but one day I tried it and I was won over. The only suggestion I would make is to have it made with romaine (I like the healther options). Now, the pepperoni pinwheels are really great. We sometimes pick up 12 and take them home for our 18 year old son. They ususally only last two days.", "If only this place made their pizza slices larger, I could give it an additonal star. 2 slices and I find myself still hungry. Otherwise, nothing more than average tasting pizza. The girls in white short shorts add a nice touch. Like a Hooters for pizza.", "Over priced but the cheese sticks are awesome.

I cannot eat gluten without being in a lot of pain and hating myself for a few days, and I am always a little afraid to eat out at Asian restaurants because my requests seem to get lost in translation. However, I can enjoy my meal without worrying when I eat here because the waiters are very attentive and willing to ask the chef any questions I have about what goes into each dish.\n\nMy favorite dish here is red curry with tofu. It is very filling and always the perfect spice level for me. I've also tried several of their sushi options, which always taste fresh and look nice.

[ "This place is one of the most over-hyped joints in Boise. It has been voted \"Best of Boise\" in the local events mag.\nThey claim to have \"world famous\" milkshakes. You had better have one kick-ass milkshake to make that kind of boast.\nLet's start off by saying their milkshakes are OK, nothing special. My wife didn't even finish it. \nWife and I went here twice and had breakfast. The food is about a C+ and we had to wait a little while to get it. I thought about trying a hamburger the second time, but noticed the obligatory frozen pre-formed patties visible in the freezer. No thanks. \nSecond time I got the pot roast. The meat was good and plentiful, but the potatoes and gravy were lackluster. Not much to say about the breakfasts, C+ like I said before.\nThe decor is charming (unique?) the first time you go in, and maybe for guests you might take here to visit the city. But what you really get is a 50 year old diner, literally, everything is cheap, beat up, dirty and grease-laden, and half-ass constructed. Seems like it's out of pure laziness, than some effort to present 50's style or charm. And the bathroom? There is no 50's charm to that awful festering sore of a room. Absolutely no excuse to have such a filthy rotting corpse of a horror. Almost unusable.\nThere was a dude playing guitar both times, but after a while every song just sounded the same, a drone of strumming chords.\nIf you check out their website it says, \"You're invited to our NEW and IMPROVED gift shop.\" Now that is a hilarious joke. They are in fact closing down the gift shop, a gift shop that consists of piles of WAY WAY overpriced useless bric-a-brac, curios, junk and cheap, unappealing novelties.\nConclusion: Go here once just to see what all the fuss is about. But if you want excellent breakfasts in a great atmosphere, clean environment and great prices, visit La Vie En Rose or Goldy's.", "This is a funky little place to eat. I've only had breakfast here, and it was typical greasy diner food. They are known for their milkshakes, but since I've never tried them I can't tell you how good or bad they are. Some might call the decor of this place charming, but I honestly don't know what to think of it. You'll just have to decide for yourself.", "I really wanted to like this place--I really, really did! Alas...nope. I went there for breakfast--the atmosphere is bizarre to say the least--I believe they are in the midst of renovating and are doing so in stages which could explain the haphazard decor (not charmingly eclectic...more like just nonsensical). Honestly, for a diner breakfast, however, I couldn't care less about the ambiance as long as they serve come serious comfort food. And, since Moon's touts itself to be Boise's comfort food headquarters, I had high hopes. Again...nope. I ordered their breakfast sandwich with hash browns. The sandwich was ok...it was on a very wonderish type white bread--I was kind of expecting an English muffin--a little blah, but ok. Their hash browns were undercooked and not even approaching the realm of the crispy. The person I went with ordered their biscuits and gravy, which looked really delicious, so it was all the more disappointing that they were so bland (my fellow diner was utterly disappointed and so I had to taste to verify...the biscuits were in dire need of both salt and butter as they were dry and lifeless and their gravy could have used something...ANYTHING...to give it some flavor).\n \nA couple of pluses (by no means redemptive...but in the spirit of honesty): Their service was friendly and attentive and they do serve White Cloud coffee, which I find a little too mild, but I know many who enjoy it.\n\nOther than that? Unfortunately, much ado about nothing.", "This place is soo good for breakfast! =] I enjoyed the country fried steak and the non stop coffee. Yea! Love it.", "A Lot of HYPE.. Very Little TRUTH\n\nI had heard great things about Moon's so I took my husband for lunch one day. They place was cavernous and absolutely NOTHING had been done to keep all the diner sounds from reverbarating. Our sandwiches were nothing like what was described in the menu, with most of the components seeming like stuff from a bag (frozen chicken patties, processed cheese slices, mass produced buns). To top it all off the server spilled an entire soda on my husband. Yes, they were very apologetic and did not charge us for my husbands meal, but that did not give us any reason to go back. I had hoped their breakfast might be better, but given what I've read here at Yelp I won't be giving it a shot.", "Food Hit the spot. Classic breakfast items on menu. Food wasn't steaming hot when it came out. The breakfast potatoes are nothing special. \n\nPlace was able to sit us right down. Overall it was a good experience.", "This place is great. Typical diner food, but great service & good portions!", "Moon's is fantastic. Their breakfasts are great, as are their lunchs. Has a very eclectic ambiance which is perfect for downtown boise. The service is always great and on sundays (possibly other days, i just get breakfast there sundays) they have great musicians play which adds to the \"north end\" feeling of the place. The perfect play for a sunday morning.", "When strolling downtown during Saturday Market, it's not out of the ordinary to get a strong pang of hunger from smelling all the different vendor's creations on the streets... \n\nSomewhere I had not been since they moved locations and switched owners was Moons, so we sauntered in, not expecting live music and an absolutely jam packed breakfast joint! Let's be honest, it DOES have more seating than cramped ol' Goldy's down the street which was why we decided to forgo Goldy's and try something new. Plus Tay had never been to this Boise staple breakfast spot!\n\nNostalgia hits you like a ton of bricks whe you walk through the door... you see a counter and old diner style bar seating like the old place and you just feel welcome. The integrity of the old place was kept but a new element is added that I can't put my finger on, but believe me, it's positive! \n\nInstead of waiting for a table we plopped down at the bar (closest to the door) because there was a guy playing his harmonica and guitar, croning away trying to make a couple bucks.\n\nFor the life of me, I can't remember what his name was... but we clapped, tipped and enjoyed a LESS greasy (than I remember from years ago), very memorable breakfast at the new and improved Moons! I had the veggie omelet with potatoes and Tay had french toast. Wasn't too spendy and felt like I got my money's worth after a great meal, plus song and dance! We will return. Moons has restored my faith in old time breakfast places!", "Two-and-a-half stars, but for an official rating downgraded to two stars for partaking in one of the most annoying marketing ploys that should die a painful death-- using the \"world famous\" line.\n\nIn every midsized-to-major city, you can count on there being at least one place that has had a long and storied history where patrons who have been going back for years will continue to return to no matter how bad the food gets. A few people that I know that used to go to Moon's a lot during their younger years have taken me there and described Moon's as such. I have no such history with the place, so I can be objective in saying that the food here is overpriced, average diner fare. No big whoop. If I was blindfolded and told I was at Denny's, I'd believe it. Or at least until I got the bill. If anything has the potential to go above average for you, I think their reuben can do it. Not that monstrosity reuben that they sell, but the regular reuben.\n\nThe shakes? Yes, they are quite good, and I will continue to go back for them and probably just them. The Guinness milkshake is.......interesting. Which leads me back to the \"world famous\" moniker. Saying these shakes are world famous would lead me to believe that a) these shakes are in an elite class and b) they're actually known the world over. Spago for example, or any restaurant run by Wolfgang Puck, is probably one of the very few places that can truly claim being world famous. But a milkshake in Idaho? I looked at Moon's website and tried to Google any information as to why anyone outside of the valley would know what a Moon's shake is. Nothing. So we're left with the quality of the shake. Quite good? Yes. Elite? Not even close. Either they have delusions of grandeur like the other 99% of restaurants that use that claim, or it's just another tawdry example of using that cheap gimmick to try and lure people in." ]

They've got dollar bills posted all over the walls. \n\nNow normally, I'm not the biggest fan of fried seafood. I usually prefer it grilled or steamed unless its in a sandwich. However, this place uses a beer batter that is SO TASTY! Seriously, i adore their beer battered shrimp. Its so good. I have no idea what they put in it - my speculation is that its got to be drugs or something (just kidding for those of you who have no sense of humor).", "Walking up to PJ's you wouldn't expect what you would find as a classy place on the beach but after walking inside and sitting down it becomes the place you want to eat at while at the beach. Sure the area is littered with tons of places that support that \"beachy\" feel for the food but PJ's has seemed to capture it down to the T. The food there was great for the area and honestly if it had not been my last night there I would have gone back for a second helping. A great deal of the food was fried so if your afraid of that then stay away but for a hole in the wall with decent food then welcome to PJ's. Kick back drink a beer or something else and have a good ole time.", "Ok, I stopped in for the first time yesterday. I didn't know what to expect, but I always saw it on the corner and figured why not. Our waitress was as sweet as could be, and the staff seemed to have a lot of fun working there. The majority of the menu was seafood with a few options if seafood isn't your thing. We got a half rack of ribs, 1/2 lb peel and eat shrimp, 2 side Ceasars, some fries, a cocktail, a non-alcoholic drink, and a slice of key lime pie for $33. I'm not sure how anyone could call it pricey. The food was great for the kind of place this is, and I totally recommend the key lime pie. Like another reviewer said, there are dollar bills covering everything. They even have a couple on the ceiling. They also have paper towels on rolls above each table (they hang on something that looks like a modified wire clothes hanger). Really cool atmosphere, and better than many of the other little places along Gulf.", "Good basic beach food place. Only got to go once and had a great fried grouper sandwich.

It doesn't take itself seriously, the atmosphere is casual and relaxed and the seafood is very good. I had a delicious lobster tail and an ice cold beer. A wonderful beach experience.", "Another casual seafood place that's delightfully tacky. Paper towels hand on clothes hangers over the tables and there are dollar bills with peoples names stapled all over the wall. Food is generally fried but you can find some broiled & steamed as well as raw items. The fish spread is very good and they have a nice selection of cold drinks. Nothing fancy, just basic seafood in a laid back atmosphere.", "The food is pretty good. The fried seafood platter was really good...especially the grouper. We had a dinner salad though that was pretty pitiful and the service wasn't very good at all. Two waitresses seemed really overworked with only 5 parties between them....and we had to wait 10 minutes before they noticed we were there. There are plenty of other places to choose from around here if you're looking for good seafood. The atmosphere is pretty boring too.", "Finally! I've finally discovered a place with weird touristy gimmicky decorations AND good food. It seems that weird, touristy, gimmicky decor is a staple in this area, but good food is not. PJ's has you covered on both.\n\nI went for lunch with a rather large group and they easily accommodated us. They were even willing to split our bills and package up some dessert for those who ordered it \"to go\". \n\nWe all had grouper in some form or another. I had the grouper sandwich, blackened, with fries and I was pleased with it. The grouper was perfectly cooked (for this being a seafood town, the restaurants really seem to overcook their fish) and well seasoned. \n\nWhen I'm in town again next year, I'll definitely be back.", "Finally, an Indian Rocks Beach area restaurant with decent food. PJ's beats the hell out of Crabby Bill's down the road. I thought the food was better than Keegan's, too, which was featured on some Food Network show. The place was crowded but service was good.", "Was invited by friends while visiting the area and was pleasantly surprised! The food was good and while loud and crowded, we still had a great time!

Looks like some kinks need to be worked out but I am sure they will get there. Did wait a long time for the food but it was delicious. Looks to be a family business but they sure could use outside help.", "Went here for lunch and for dinner, and I think it's a winner.\n\nOk, bad rhyme aside, the first thing that jumped out, even as they were working on getting this place ready for business, was how much effort they put into decorating. It really looks nice. The waitstaff was very friendly and went out of their way to serve us.\n\nAs far as food, the lunch menu is a bit different from the dinner menu. I went with one of the kebab plates, all of which are listed at around $10. It came with 4 pieces of meat, of varying sizes, along with Afghan rice, and was pretty good. Lunch reminded me a little of Sahara Grill, which is my go-to Middle Eastern restaurant. The dinner menu is more varied and elaborate... and more expensive. I got the Qablee Palaw (also on lunch menu for a bit cheaper, and not much smaller, if at all), which consists of cubes of meat, usually lamb, along with shaved carrots and raisins, on a bed of Afghan rice. I've had this dish at a couple other Afghan restaurants, one in Philly and another elsewhere, and I must say this was the best of the three. Not too oily, and the ingredients tasted fresh (the opposite was my complaint about the other two places I tried). Both meals were accompanied by a small salad and a basket of bread. For dinner we also ordered the kidney beans with Afghan rice, and an eggplant based appetizer. The small samples I tried of both were very good.\n\nThe food didn't necessarily come out fast either time, but was certainly within the realm of what I would consider acceptable. Subsequent visits have varied as far as speed of service. It seems like they tend to forget about you if it's a slow day. This place is definitely worth trying, as long as you aren't in a hurry. I wish them well, and hope they stick around at that corner.", "It's back...and the new digs are beautiful! Same warm service, all the old favorites...life is good. Sure to be discovered by locals soon.", "Total disappointment! Waited so long for the beloved kabob house to open back up only to experience terrible service and long wait time for food.\nAfter some wait to even order, salad and bread took 45 minutes. We were starving. Dipping sauce for the bread arrived 15 after we received bread (why even bother?).\nHummus appetizer didn't come until an hour into sitting there. And they brought only one of the two hummus we ordered. They ended up getting the other hummus and that only took 5 minutes. Not sure why the first hummus took an hour.\nDinner didn't arrive until an hour and a half into the meal. The food was just decent. Not as great as I remember.\nThere was a pumpkin dish that was really good. Salad was okay-drenched in yogurt dressing. Lamb kabob was tender, but salty. Check came quickly and Dessert was never offered though they did end up giving us complimentary ice cream. \nOverall, I will never return. Service was terrible. It was not even busy on a Saturday night. The waitresses never checked on us and we had to ask for a lot of things (like silverware for our friend).\nThe new location and decor is really well devoted.\nI know they just opened back up, but this isn't your first rodeo. Hopefully they improve.", "Amazing food and great service...so glad they re-created from Sansom Street even closer to my house!", "We went for lunch and there was no wait. The service was great and the food was excellent. My wife had the vegetarian pumpkin dish and it was amazing. We started with Bulani which was a great appetizer. I had a chicken dish, that I can't remember the name of, but it was also delicious. Their saffron rice that comes with the food is as good as it gets with rice. I highly recommend trying this place out.", "First time at the new location on South St, but worth the extra half-mile hike. I agree that this place can be slow and no one's gonna accuse the wait staff of being too attentive, but they serve a good meal. I recommend the Sansom kabob, sort of a mixed grill of grilled lamb, grilled chicken, and the star of the show: the Chablee kabob (ground beef mixed with onions, garlic and spices formed into a long kabob -- delicious!) -- comes with grilled onion and tomato which are very good compliments, as well as brown rice with a nice topping that's sorta like a thick hummus (plus afghan bread and a little salad). \nWent on a Wednesday evening and there was barely anyone in there, so I got my food quickly. My sambosa appetizer (not quite as good as an Indian samosa, but still good) arrived in just a few minutes. \nI always leave sated and happy and feeling like I had a refreshing and balanced meal -- it's not cheap (Sansom kabob is $18 for dinner), but well worth it!", "This place is amazing! I've eaten here throughout the years when I'm in philly and even after moving locations I was pleased to see that the quality of the food is as great as ever. \n\nI always get the Sansom Kebob which is my go to dish. Definitely check it out if your in the area.", "Ate at the Kabob House last night. The decor was great, the food was excellent (and healthy), and the service was very attentive. I predict great things for this restaurant in its new location. Congratulations and keep the good times coming!", "I work down the street so my boyfriend and I decided to stop in after I got done work one night. It was great! The food was delicious (we got qablee palaw and quarma chalaw), drinks were great (special yogurt drink, afghan tea, and coffee) , and dessert (firni) was incredible!

We had the larb gai, the green curry with chicken and the duck fried rice.\n\nSounds like a very similar menu to what lived in this spot before.\n\nThe food was good, the staff was very friendly.\n\nWe sat outside at a picnic table in front of the truck next to a small water fountain/feature that helped with the Dale Mabry road traffic noise.\n\nI need another visit and try another dish to make another assessment. But so far, it's a quick, good Thai fix.", "Soooo, this is the place that replaced the old Kombo Kitchen... Pretty much the same menu same truck same set up... I got the beef noodle bowl (not the same) the seasoning and spices were a bit too sweet for my taste.. Still a good bowl of soup but not the best as what I used to say for the Kombo Kitchen... If you are in south Tampa and want a quick Thai fix the prices, portions and selections are decent... I will defiantly go back as I want to try all there other dishes... My daughter got the boneless spare ribs.. SUPER DELICIOUS, loved them... The staff is super friendly and very courteous.. Super fast service as well which was surprising as they make food fresh to order... They just opened a week ago I will go back and try a different meal as I am eager to give them 5 stars just couldn't at this point....", "As good as it gets for food truck fare. Thai dishes are all well made with quality and quantity for a decent price. All is prepared with care and quickness in a tiny kitchen. I've sampled the pad thai, drunken noodles, phad woosen and the rolls both fresh and fried. All were very tasty and comforting. If you enjoy heat, let them know. They will will make it very mild if you don't. Cooks and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Glad it is close by, I will be a frequent visitor.", "Definitely my favourite Thai place in all of Tampa!\n\nFirst of, everyone's real nice! 1 or 2 might not speak the best English, but the attitude's really nice with smiles all around. \n\nWe've had 6 different dishes on the menu so far, and every single item has been good. I'm Asian, and visited with American and Norwegian friends, and we all liked different dishes best, but my favorites are the steamed dumplings and boneless ribs.", "3 visits in 1.5 weeks, and I'm still lovin' it!\n\nHave decided that my favorites are:\n1. steamed pot stickers\n2. duck fried rice. Around $12 for a portion big enough for 3 lunches (sure it gets a little dry on Day 2, but still amazing)\n3. boneless short rib with rice", "When Kombo closed, I was so sad. When Thai 5 opened, I was hesitant to check it out, worried that nothing would compare to my beloved Kombo. When we walked up and saw familiar faces in the kitchen, I let out a small cheer. Sure enough, the menu was nearly identical and so was the quality of food. Pineapple fried rice is still my favorite, but I also love the amazing Thai, pad Thai, and pad see ew. If they have banana coins, you must order them! I'm so thankful to have amazing Thai food back in the neighborhood!", "This place has excellent pad Thai. Looking forward to trying everything else!! It is in a food truck next to the Howard Johnson where kombo kitchen used to be." ]

They've also got other sandwiches, burgers, spare ribs, seafood platters, etc.\n\nWhenever I want to get a big order of wings to take with me to a friend's house to watch football, boxing, or some other sporting event, I always order from Mr. Wings. Their buffalo wings are superb - crispy, tangy, meaty, and ready in a jiffy. The staff is also really nice.\n\nIf you are getting wings for the Super Bowl, I suggest calling the night before or early that morning to place your order. That's what I did, and my wings were ready at the time I said that I needed them. This place is great.", "Very fresh and tasty chicken. They make it fresh after you order instead of giving you something sitting under a heat lamp, so order in advance if you can.", "Fantastic pressure cooked fried chicken. Always liked that it was made as I ordered instead of laying around. I've made some very large orders for parties through here. The staff were always extremely grateful, even throwing in some extra chicken, sodas and such. \n\nOn the, very small, down side, some of the other items I've had here aren't quite as memorable. Nothing in any way bad, but just not as good as the fried chicken. Though both the fries and onion rings are perfectly acceptable. \n\nThe fried chicken is the real reason to go here. And when I order it, I'm never disappointed.", "The three star rating is related to inconsistency. First time I got the fried chicken - it was really salty. Second time - it was delicious, third time- not too much flavor and greasy. I have now opted out of the fried chicken and now get the grilled chicken breast platter. It tends to be fairly consistent and tasty.", "This place has pretty great fried chicken. The sides are always good too. Good service, and nice staff. Only complaints is that their hamburgers, while they are homemade, are incredibly salty, and overcooked. The bun to meat ratio is also terrible. With chicken as good as this though, I should have never ordered a burger. They recently added burritos to their menu, and they are pretty good. The nachos were a huge soggy sloppy mess. All in all this is a good place though. \n\nWeird that they included the old name on their new sign though.... GEORGE'S WINGS formerly mr. wings.", "Wings are fine. Just way overpriced", "I was not impressed with the wings at all. Very disappointing for a place with wings in its name. They weren't cooked well and where slimy.

Wings wee tiny.", "I've never had such delicious grilled chicken from a fast food joint....very tender and juicy. My girlfriend got a greek salad and quesadillas, both of which were delicious. I live in East Falls, but I make it a point to stop by this place if im in the Northeast. The staff is very friendly too. There is huge TV which plays nothing but ESPN/CNN so if you're waiting, you're not really bored. Fried chicken takes a little while to cook, but soooo worth the wait. Make sure you get a platter so you can add mash potatoes, corn and a small salad. Nom Nom Nom!", "Was told by someone to try hear, and glad I did. \n\nReally good food. They pile the meat on the cheese steak and not at all greasy. \n\nThe wings are so crispy and good. Definitely worth the money and reasonable to." ]

We had the great pleasure to attend an event before their grand opening and we were treated to a great time. Service was top notch, with a staff that you can tell enjoy the process and the people. I was offered some great suggestions.\nTo me, the best part of the experience was the simplicity. Nothing against the big chains or other coffee shops, but I like being able to scan the menu in seconds. My options included a regular cup of coffee, two different blends of espresso, and pour over coffee. Oh, and they had Stevia and almond milk, great options for those of us trying to eat clean and avoid a lot of different products. We live over an hour away, so while we cannot make this our regular coffee spot, you can bet we will visit and continue to support this shop at every opportunity. Keep up the great work Bandits!", "Do yourself a favor and check this place out! Simplicity at its best with absolutely wonderful coffee & espresso. The space is amazing, lots of natural light & an awesome minimalistic vibe. The owners made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. Truly a great experience! Sadly I'm just on vacation but if I lived in St. Pete I'd no doubt be here pretty often.", "Well-curated coffee. Great pour-overs. Outstanding, knowledgeable people. Beautiful space. You will love Bandit!", "Let me start this review on a unusual note...I DON'T like coffee... That is UNTIL TODAY! Seriously people, Bandit Coffee just converted a 47 yr old die hard tea drinker with one cup! I have tried so, so many coffees throughout my years thinking that maybe my tastebuds would change or this one would be different but, to no avail. From cheap or simple, to exotic & expensive, to those with tons of cream, sugar, & chocolate ....I just couldn't get past the ever present aftertaste! But all that changed today thanks to the very knowledgeable and friendly staff at Bandit Coffee. \n I went to checkout the new place and see some special guests. I ordered tea and was quite content with my tasty cup. I began chatting with one of the owners and felt compelled to explain my tea purchase. We then went on to discuss why I don't like coffee. She totally blew me away with her knowledge of coffee and suggested I try one of theirs. She encouraged me to try just a taste of their Konga blend (straight up no less!) and while I was hesitant, I politely accepted and quickly looked to see where my water glass was so I could chase away the inevitable aftertaste. I took a sip & well....there was no aftertaste! It was just a delicious, pure, flavorful cup,of yumminess! Mind blown! I never knew coffee could taste like this! I ended up ordering my first ever, full cup of coffee! \nSo, whether you drink coffee or not, I strongly encourage you to give Bandit coffee a try. Tell them what you like or don't like, and I guarantee they can help you out. To paraphrase one of the owners \"Their goal is not just to serve you \"their\" best cup of coffee but to serve you YOUR best cup of coffee!\" I'm a freaking believer! And, I WILL be making the haul from Tampa to St. Pete for a cup, because it's just that damn good! Congrats Bandit! You're doing it right!!!" ]

For $7.25 I got a large cheese steak (with onions and Whiz - Yup the real stuff), a larger order of fries, cherry peppers, coleslaw and a Cesar salad.

I'd be interested in trying the salad bar if I ever dined in. They do have a pretty spacious dining room. If you're ever interested in going, check out what specials they have going on. Apparently yesterday was 1/2 off burgers, when the burgers are already $3!", "It was absolutely terrible.\n\nFirst, I had ordered cheese fries only to have received regular fries. \n\nSecond, the state in which my order arrived was a COMPLETE MESS. The hot sauce from the wings leaked out of the styrofoam container and proceeded to cover everything in the bag. After we had pulled everything out, there was at least half a cup of liquid sitting at the bottom of the bag. The wings themselves were gross: the chicken were just sitting in a ocean of oily sauce instead of being nicely coated. They were literally swimming.\n\nThird, I didn't receive a fork for my cake slice. \n\nWas it my fault for not ordering pizza at a pizza joint? Maybe. But if it's on the menu, I should at least get what I had ordered in edible condition. (I had ordered delivery at around 1:30 am for some late night feasting and the choices were limited.)", "Pizza took over 2 hours to arrive. When we called to inquire the person on the phone lied and said the order never went through (despite the fact that they sent confirmation to Grubhub regarding having received the order). We were then instructed by Axis pizza to re-order and pay twice for our one small pizza. Grubhub contacted them and The pizza itself was decent except for the canned mushrooms. I will not be ordering from this establishment again. Ever.", "The owner contacted me and apologized for the state of my previous order, of which I'm appreciative, and offered a $30 gift certificate to try the food again. \n\nLast night, I ordered the small BBQ chicken pizza, a small Italian stromboli, and two sodas. \n\nThe food overall was decent, especially given that I had ordered around 1am. The pizza was a good size for 1-2 people, but as a New Yorker, I have relatively high standards for pizza, and this tasted like your average BBQ chicken slice (think Allegro's). The stromboli was huge and could have been shared with at least one other person. They gave a large side of marinara sauce, which was great, and I proceeded to happily cut up and eat my food. However, it started to become messy (the filling made it pretty heavy) as bits of meat started to fall out when I picked up my cut slices. I wouldn't have minded this except....\n\nthey didn't pack any napkins in the bag. Not a single one, and we were eating finger food. My friend and I were eating in a classroom and napkins were inaccessible.

I obliged and I must say the experience the 2nd time around was INFINITELY better. I said in my last review that despite the terrible service the pizza is good. I shall reiterate: The pizza is really great. I would venture to say it's the best pizza in the neighborhood.\n\nNow, will I think twice about ordering late night for fear that my great pizza may never show? Yes. BUT when I'm feeling lucky I will most likely choose Axis for my pizza (and hot wing) needs.\n\nNice save, Axis.", "The service at this place is dreadful. The guy who took our order was condescending and rude. It was even more annoying because he's a 90 lb loser. \n\nMy wife and I decided to check this place out because we heard they had a decent salad bar. Well, we didn't know the salad bar charged by the pound--what is this, Whole Foods? The annoying order-taker rolled his eyes and spoke in mumbly broken English, like he was so inconvenienced that he had to take nine seconds to explain this to us.\n\nThe salad bar itself was decent. The selection was a bit broader than you would expect from a hole in the wall pizza place and most of the foods was relatively high quality. The greens, however, which are the most important part of a freaking salad, were wilted garbage. This factors pretty heavily into the low rating (coupled with the awful service). \n\nWe also got a shrimp appetizer. It was pretty good--decent portion and alright quality. Not amazing, but not bad by any means. \n\nBack to the terrible service: We had our one-year-old with us and they didn't even offer a high chair. We had to take turns holding our son as we ate. Considering the fact that no one else was in the entire restaurant, they could have at least offered some assistance in this area.\n\nIt sounds like this a place for college kids to show up for late night pizza and wings. That's cool, I guess, but don't expect to get acceptable service and don't expect much from the salad bar.", "Okay. I am tired of looking for pizza places online and reading tons of reviews on how their chicken sandwiches, salads, or beer selections are the best.

Here's the deal: Ingredients, including cheese sauce and dough, were good to fairly good (3.5 out of 5). It was terribly greasy (dripping off an unfolded slice of pizza), which I don't mind but others do. The bake time was a little too much, so the cheese was too cooked (burn spots) and the crust was a little too dry and hard. My overall score is 3.5 out of 5. Nothing fantastic, but then again, there aren't really any fantastic pizza places in Philly." ]

[ "Had lunch with a group of coworkers at Ninki today and we were all quite impressed. The decor was great and not something you would expect to find in a restaurant located in a shopping center - it has a fantastic, modern vibe that was very welcoming, though I can't say that I found the new age music to be the best accompaniment to my Japanese dining experience. \n\nAs for the food, we tried an assortment of things. I can't recall the names of all of the five different rolls we ordered, but I think I remember there being a Butterfly and a Yum Yum roll in the mix - both received great reviews. We also ordered chicken teriyaki (quite tasty) and an insanely large portion of chicken fried rice that was delicious. There were a lot of interesting options on the menu - bibimbap & other Korean offerings and fois gras, for example - and judging off of our first experience, I can't wait to go back and be more adventurous.\n\nPrices were very reasonable and they do have a lunch menu. Definitely adding this place to our regular rotation - but on that note, I must make my one slightly negative comment and say that the timeliness of the service could be tightened up a bit. Seeing as how it is in an area that attracts lots of business lunchers, being able to make it in and out the door pretty quickly is essential. But since the place is still green, I have faith that this matter will get better with time.\n\nOverall, a great experience and a restaurant that I will enthusiastically recommend to others.", "I really liked Ninki! People should definitely give it a try - wonderful feel for the price, overall a relaxing, enjoyable, tasty, and filling experience. Overall very good at a very reasonable price for relatively upscale Japanese.\n\nAtmosphere: It feels very clean and is very tastefully decorated in a contemporary style. A few people I was with thought it felt too cold and open; I thought it felt very clean, open, and spacious in a pleasing, relaxing way.\n\nService: We had a very kind server who had one of the chefs come talk to us when we were having trouble deciding on what to order. She was very attentive and sweet. No complaints. They were fairly quiet when we were in there, so not sure how it is when they are busier.\n\nFood: The sushi was quite good. I only had a crunchy shrimp roll, but even it was beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious. People who ordered more real or daring pieces of sushi and cuts of fish were very pleased as well. They have a very exciting, interesting, expansive sushi menu! All of the salads were fresh. The house dressing had better greens than normally found in a Japanese restaurant - it wasn't just iceberg - but somehow still had the refreshing crunch. The orange house dressy was a bit creamy which I liked. The miso was good but fairly strong. The udon I tried was good; I mainly ate the tempura out of someone's udon, and it was delicious! The noodles and broth I tasted were nice as well. \n\nThey have hibachi, quite well priced (and hibachi lunch specials I want to go back for - very reasonable, I think $10-12), and our dinner guest who ordered from the hibachi (you may order it even if not sitting at a hibachi table) was very happy! It smelled and looked delicious and generous portion-wise. I tasted the fried rice - very good and interesting, has a taste of green pepper which is actually pleasing.\n\nNone of us tried dessert, but the menu looked promising - they consider themselves a bit of a mix between Japanese and French. The dessert menu shows more of the French.\n\nI'll definitely go here again to try a lunch special or grab a roll when in the Belle Meade area - somewhere that could definitely use a few more good restaurants!", "Ninki has renewed my faith in Japanese food in Nashville. \n\nI am a card carrying Japanese Food Snob. I lived in Japan for three years, my wife is Japanese, I cook and eat Japanese food all the time. Nashville has never had a Japanese restaurant that really stood up to my unreasonable expectations. Until now, until Ninki. \n\nI went to the Grand Opening event that was unfortunately scheduled on May 5th. If you speak Spanish or just like an excuse to drink and eat chips and salsa you understand why that might be a challenge for a Japanese restaurant. Nonetheless the meal and the evening were fantastic.\n\nNinki is located in the shopping center next to the Belle Mead Kroger on West End. From the outside it is rather unassuming and will take a while for the locals to catch on to. Inside it is very sleek and elegant. There are two separate dining areas since they offer both Hibachi and a more traditional sushi and Japanese food menu. Overall I found the atmosphere to be very appealing place to spend time and enjoy a meal. \n\nThe menu is broad and covers a lot of ground. I did not have the Hibachi so I cannot review that part of the restaurant. They have a full sushi menu and a great selection of unique Japanese specialties. I love a good hibachi, but with as good as the rest of the menu is I don't know if I will ever make it to the Ninki hibachi tables. \n\nIf I had one recommendation for the menu at Ninki it would be to go exploring. They offer multiple dishes that are unique and definitely not offered anywhere else in Nashville or at almost any Japanese restaurant that I have been to in the US. Our group was fortunate enough to be seated with some friends of the chef so we got to sample most of the specialties on the menu. All of them were excellent and made me wish I had a bigger stomach. A quick recap of the meal is as follows:\n\nSalmon Ceviche Salad with shaved parmigiana and a wonderful dressing; Hon Maguro Tuna, the real deal and the best sushi I have had in Nashville; Duck Breast served Jibu-ni style which apparently means with a delicate mushroom sauce and grilled scallions, fantasic; Black Cod baked with vegetables in a paper wrapper which might have been the single best piece of fish I have ever had, moist and unbelievably full of flavor; Ribeye steak cooked on a ripping hot stone and flambed with cognac; Creme Brule; French Wine; Beer ; Lobster roll Sushi; Chocolate Cake. \n\nHonestly it is a miracle I was able to get up, but everything was perfectly sized and impossible to resist. \n\nNinki left me completed satisfied and more than a little impressed. It is not a cheap place to eat, but it is worth every penny and then some. If you are a traditionalist the sushi is excellent and will definitely not disappoint. If you want to experiment then there is a wealth of great food waiting to be discovered. Explore the menu at Ninki. There are things there that cannot be had anywhere else in Nashville.", "Where's my salad? Where's my soup? Where's my server? I know where the rest of the staff is-standing in front of the G-d Damned front door sucking down cigarettes. Classy. This place needs a GM that can run a restaurant instead of a flock of half-wits that can't. \n\nI've been to Japan, too dude and this ain't it.", "Ugh..., I really wanted to give this place five stars, but it's so damn big. Whoever designed the build-out, forgot to add some charm. It's big as in sterile in not a good way inside. \n\nHowever, the fish is good, rolls are creative and the service was exceptional.\n\nThe prices are a tad high. Granted, this is the owners third restaurant with the other two in Kentucky. \n\nSurprised it looked the way it did inside. Guess it didn't help our last visual reminder of the place as we walked out was of a lobster tank in the hallway. One lone victim was lying at the bottom.", "I was not impressed. Prices are high and why have a lobster tank if it's empty? \n\nToo many gimmick rolls on the menu. If there are no live lobsters in the lobster tank, where are they getting lobsters for their fancy raw lobster roll? I'm guessing way dead frozen ones in the back. And if that's true, I certainly wouldn't want to eat it. \n\nI ordered some fried oysters and received fried chicken instead. It was actually kind of funny because the waitress insisted that despite it not looking like the picture in the menu, they were indeed oysters. I had each of my friends sample it before deciding conclusively that it was instead chicken. \n\nI ordered the sweet shrimp and received the standard raw shrimp on rice and fried shrimp heads. I ate one piece and nearly threw up. It tasted like an old aquarium, which is not a good place for raw shrimp to be. When I asked the waitress about striking it from the bill, she did. However, if that was my sushi restaurant and I was confident in the freshness of the food, I would have explained all that before striking it from the bill. The fact that they did not come over to speak to me speaks volumes about the freshness of their food. That is to say, it probably isn't very fresh. \n\nThe hot food was a joke. My friend ordered bul golgi (Korean dish). It was absolutely pathetic. And it was 16 bucks. Unforgivable. \n\nThe uni was good. For 7 bucks, I should hope that it is. Otherwise, I do not plan on going back.", "The better half and I stopped in at dinner for Teppanyaki. \n\nThe location is very nice, but as other reviewers have said, it's quite large and feels a bit empty. \n\nFor us, Service was prompt and friendly. We even had a table just to ourselves. \n\nFood was decent, but not great. I found the Sushi to be average (We ordered the \"Sexy Girl\"), but its possible I'm just a snob about such things. For dinner I had the Hibachi Salmon which was really good. I've never been to another Teppanyaki place that offered this so it was a pleasant surprise. The downside was the absence of Teriyaki Steak for the Hibachi. \n\nOverall I'd probably return, but only for the Salmon, which I did enjoy quite a bit, but it wouldn't be a strong recommendation to others if you are looking for something to just BLOW YOU AWAY.", "Wow, very impressed! My wife & I just tried the place for the first time and I have to say they have some of the best sushi in Nashville for sure. We ordered something they call a Texas roll and it literally came out on fire! My wife loves nigiri and everything she tried was very fresh. One she said stood out was the blue fin tuna. I also tried an avocado and crab salad and wanted to order another. Our server was very friendly ,and the place looks fantastic inside. Will definetly be going back soon!", "I tried this spot out on Friday night with mixed results. \n\nWhile the chef did some great tricks to entertain my toddler, the food was not as good as I've had at other, similar places. I ordered the chicken and shrimp with fried rice and veggies. I'd give it a \"C-.\" The meat was bland and overcooked, and I had to drown it in \"Yum Yum Sauce\" to make it taste better. The rice was undercooked and almost crunchy!\n\nHubs ordered steak and shrimp and also damned it with faint praise.\n\nWe also got cheated on our shrimp appetizer--never received it! Other places usually throw in some ice cream at the end but not so here.\n\nThe tahini dressing on the salad was fresh and flavorful but the onion soup was salty broth.\n\nIn the end, we ended up forking over $60 on a not so great meal.", "Only okay the night we went apparently. Soggy sushi with inedible fish has followed. Maybe worth it for cheap hibachi? Not sure since I've never personally had it." ]

We met a group of people there, and quickly it felt like the bar was ours! Agree that the wine is somewhat pricey; they also have beers and cocktails.\nMenu looks more comprehensive than \"snack\", although i haven't tried anything.", "This place had such potential but the service ruined it. \n\nFirst off if it is hot outside and their fireplace was running it was about 100 degrees inside. It took forever to get a waiter and he did not even come until we had already ordered from the bartender (who then got a hold of the waiter). Later on in the night we wanted to try another bottle of wine (we had gotten a bottle of Albarino) but our waiter was no where to be found. I usually am pretty patient on a weekend night but this was ridiculous. I had to order bottle of wine from the bartender. Conveniently our waiter finally came back from smoozing with a customer. I told him I order a different bottle of wine from the bartender. So what did he do.... gave us another bottle of Albarino. He never even showed anyone the bottle he was pouring until the second glass was poured. I explained to him this is not what I order and he told me I asked for another bottle (clearly his head was in the clouds because I told him I order something else from the bartender). Then he proceeded to argue with me that there was nothing he could do because he already poured the wine. It was his mistake a) he didn't check with the bartender and who doesn't show you the bottle before they pour it. I talked to the bartender and he was much more reasonable he comped us with a glass of the other wine we wanted. He did say since the waiter poured the entire bottle there was nothing he could do. It was seriously disappointing. experience and I will not go back.", "If you like having drinks and food in a place the size of a shed then definitely check this place out..Staff is self absorbed because they got some 3 sentence editorial fart in an issue of GQ last year...Used to get dragged here with the company's happy hour from time to time..\n\nAfter a few scotches I wasn't paying for you could probably hear me saying things like...\n\n\"The appetizer is made with ...what? \" \"what's in this?\" Wait, they're really not putting the ballgame on?\"\n\nYou get my drift", "i traipsed here on a random monday night.\nit's much smaller of a place than i expected it to be, but modern and clean and rather comfortable.\nthe food and drinks were way too expensive (and small), but quite tasty. the mac and cheese is spicy-good, and the crab cake with pretzel salad is to die for (it better be for $24!). there is no cocktail menu, but there are specials to be had. \nif you're in a rush, this is not the place to go, as the service can be on the slow side...most people seem like regulars and don't mind--which further slows things down, as they all seem to stop and chat...and chat...and chat. \n\nso yes, expensive food and drinks and chatty servers. if that's what you're looking for, this is the place to be.", "I love Snackbar.

I've rarely had a bad item. The drinks are just as good, and even though the beer list is short, they're always updating it with great options.\n\nThe thing I really love about Snackbar is the great atmosphere.

At this point I asked for the check for my drink as I no longer wanted to spend my money where I was being ignored.\nTo add insult to injury my beer was charged at $1 more than the menu price; small mistake but given the entire experience summed this place up for me.\n\nAvoid", "I absolutely looooooove Snackbar. Ok, so it IS just right around the corner from my house, but the food is always such a delight. I love how the menu changes seasonally. The burger is always a must, the brussel sprouts are SOOOOO yummy, the risotto is a staple... People say the mac&cheese is good, but I didn't love it...it didn't have the bread crumb crust that I love so much. I would say that the desserts are so-so (except right now there's a tasty pumpkin something or other that should be tried). The rice krispy thing is not so hot, so get something else. \n\nSnackbar is also a great place to chill. How cool is the fireplace and the little hidden table...I heart Snackbar!" ]

[ "Adorable new space with great food and show stopping Dessert Menu. Open for lunch and dinner.", "Don't pass this place up. We have been anticipating it for weeks and were NOT disappointed. Chef has put together a nice menu. We had the burger and the arctic char and both were fabulous. Pastry chef is creative and dessert was the best we have had in Tampa Bay in a very long time (think comparable to Roy's). Can't wait to go back.", "Found this place quite by accident today and had a fantastic lunch! Very creative menu that was well executed, and the husband and wife duo running the place were attentive and friendly. I'll most definitely be coming back here!", "Just stopped in for lunch and was completely blown away by this gem! This is the type of restaurant you find in SF or Austin or somewhere much cooler than a strip center in Clearwater. Their food quality is top notch and there's a care and attention to cooking that you don't get to see everyday. More than that it's pride in what they do. The prices are incredibly reasonable considering how crazy good the food is. Pass the chains up and go here. Word of warning: it's small so if word gets out this place may get real crowded. Oh and try the ribs :)", "Went there for lunch today and everything about the experience was amazing. The food, the atmosphere, the service was all phenomenal\n\nAs you would expect from a gastropub, they have local craft beers on tap which is always delicious. I got the Lamb Juicy Lucy and my parents got the House Burger. Both were out of this world and honestly some of the best burgers we've had in this area in a long time. If you're looking for a burger that's out of the park then look no further \n\nWe got the bag of potatoes appetizer and it was little baby potatoes, lightly fried with a side of pork butter. No, you didn't misread that, I said pork butter. They were delicious and the presentation was awesome. They actually came in a little brown sack.\n\nNext we got dessert. The aerated cheesecake. It was like a deconstructed cheese cake with an aerated custard and soaked blueberries. The pastry chef actually came out to serve it and explained everything so it was definitely a wonderful dessert experience.\n\nOverall I loved this place. Great food, great atmosphere and decor. I love all the wood panels and the rustic feel of the place. Great drinks and dessert. And the best part was everyone was so friendly and kind. You can tell they care.\n\nWill definitely make this a go to place from now on", "Went here last night. Everything from appetizers (I got the poutine) to the main course (lamb shanks fall of the bone tender) to dessert (their take on a s'mores) was amazing. Service was top notch.", "Wow! This place is amazing. Everything we had was so delicious. The interior is very trendy and contemporary. I felt like I was at home in LA while in Clearwater. \nThe sack of potatoes were very good, with an amazing butter sauce that complimented them perfectly. My dad had the short ribs, and I had the farro risotto. Both were phenomenal. We finished with the pecan pie. Pecan pie is my favorite dessert and this is the best I've ever had. \nThe music playlist was also on point. I would highly recommend this place and we will be back to try more of their food soon.", "Stopped in for lunch today after seeing the great reviews on yelp. I was very pleased with my meal which was the juicy Lucy sandwich made with ground lamb. It was delicious. My wife had the house special burger. She was equally impressed. I will be a regular visitor.", "Yum! Came here for dinner last night and it was Really good.\n\nThe place is not super big, but the interior is cool and industrial feel. We had the Poutine to start - Salty in a good way and had cheese curds mixed in. Next, we had the wedge salad. This had a lot of flavor that I was not expecting and was very good. For our meal, we had the House burger and the strip steak. Both were great. Owner, James was very nice and came over and thanked us for visiting and we tried the cheesecake to finish it off. Can't wait to go back!! So glad a place like this is closer to Clearwater!", "I walked past this place yesterday and it looked interesting so my boyfriend and I came in for dinner tonight. It was absolutely delicious! We are new to the Clearwater area and have been looking for restaurants that make better food than I can make at home... And WE'VE FINALLY FOUND IT! Thank god. These people know what's up! We will be back many times over! Decent prices too." ]

[ "i love my brother, but he's sorta a jerk. he goes the easy road on every gift. he's that guy who goes out, two days before Xmas, and gives everyone a gift card to the same three spots. he's audaciously lazy, yet obligated.\n\ni don't even know why he chose this place for me. I don't wear a cowboy hat, i don't live in the burbs, and i hate country music. \n\nSo when we pull up, i'm amazed at the size of this place. the parking lot is half the size of texas, and so is the place. As we approach the door, we are greeted by the incessant twang of telecasters and songs about lost socks. \n\nwe came on a monday evening, and were seated immediately by a nice, but pre-programmed server complete with coperate scripts and introductions.\n\nBeer selection was weak, really weak. we thought that perhaps we could burn most of this gift certificate in booze. booze would help me cope with the atmosphere. Booze would have also helped put some enthusiasm in the young women servers who felt compelled to do some half assed sort of line dancing display. i felt bad for them, and i tried not to stare, but i couldn't help myself.\n\nsince i hate everything country and texas, the one thing i don't mind is the food. i like a good barbecue and have high expectations. \n\nHad a caesar salad that tasted like straight mayonnaise. which was disappointing. Rice was greasy and nothing special. Ordered the Pulled Pork, which was dry and completely devoid of flavor. Had the ribs too, and while they were 'fall off the bone' , as they promised, they were also of low quality, fatty and left with the gross skin underneath, which is completely unforgivable.\n\nwe had ten bucks left on the gift card, so we handed it off to a group of young women who looked like they were enjoying their meals more than we were.", "i only give this place two stars one for the blooming onion and one for the coconut margarita but everything else was bleh! only went here to use gift card that was given to us and seriously i have no plans to go back!\nhow does this place draw such a crowd??? the food is not good and over priced, the music sucks....seriously, how many times is it necessary to play the cotton eye joe song?? \nnot to mention the less than enthusiastic workers they make line dance to the music. i would never work at a place that made me line dance in the middle of restaurant packed like a can of sardine's. \nand for the money spent to build a bar that large they could use a few more taps and some half decent beer.\ni think the worst was the rice. seriously stay away from it. just don't even order it. i can't even begin to describe the horrible seasoning they flavored it with! \nsave your money and time waiting for crappy texas style cooking and find a nice family owned place where it's relaxing to eat and you know some care was put into your food preparation.", "I'll be the first good review for this place!!\n\nOnly been here three times for double dates and everything worked out good. Food was cooked to order, seating...well it's a Texas Roadhouse..., and nice people served us.\n\nPlan to go back soon!!", "I like the place, I love to relax enjoy my drinks and have some peanuts.. and yummy hot rolls, the only thing to remember is you have to be clear with the waiter! when you say you want medium rare steak, you better tell them you better tell the chef to make it exact what i want...otherwise i will send it back! then they always bring your food out perfect!", "I saw a show on the food network that spoke about Texas Roadhouse ribs. Supposedly they take 3 days to make. So I was really excited when my sister let me talk her into coming despite the fact that we were really busy in the middle of moving her out of her apartment. (Thanks, sis!) \n\nThe place was very noisy with about 3 birthdays. I really admire the stamina of the wait staff, there was a lot of loud singing and even dancing. The wait staff generally seemed very nice and the manager even came out to ask us to do a survey. I thought the food came out a bit on the slow side, but then it is a steakhouse, and we were so exhausted from the moving that I can not 100% vouch for my sense of time. \n\nNeedless to say I ordered the ribs (with a side house salad and mashed potatoes). Prior to ordering, there is a good sized pail of peanuts on the table and homemade rolls with cinnamon and honey butter is served. The peanuts are nice, and I mention them for those with peanut allergies planning on visiting this place. But the true star were those soft and warm rolls. As one can imagine, the cinnamon and honey butter really helped matters too. \n\nMy salad came out first, and I was really impressed, for a small side salad, it was a pretty good size with lots of great ingredients. It had a good amount of eggs, tomatoes, cheese and crouton. The croutons were supposedly homemade and tasted like it. When the rest of my food came out., I was really excited. Unfortunately, then came the crash. The ribs, although falling off the bone, were on the dry side. There really was not much BBQ sauce on it, and a lot of smokiness. I know some people like as much smokiness as they can get, but I prefer just a hint. I should mention that the mashed potatoes were good, but the portion was on the small side.", "I just was finishing my leftovers from Texas Roadhouse. Coincidentally the foodnetwork show \"Unwrapped\" came on. This is the show where I first heard about Texas Roadhouse's ribs. I was SO incredibly bitter about the show. It states that it takes 3 days to make the ribs and they cleaning fall off the bone. However, who cares if the flavor and taste stinks?!?!?!?! The ribs were so dry and so badly flavored. There was barely any BBQ sauce and what was on there did not have much taste. \n\n So for anyone who lives within a 15 mile radius of me, I apologize for the angry, bitter yelling you heard. Grrrr!!!!", "okay but i can't remember my dining since it was rowdy, crowdy, and noisy.", "First of all, if you go to a place with \"Texas\" in the name, and order a salad, you have no right to complain about it. \n\nAlso, it is one of the few places that can serve a baked potato properly. This may sound crazy, but not only are their baked potatoes cooked all the way through, they are served hot! So many restaurants have yet to figure out how to do that. And it is one of the few places whose jalapeno poppers do not taste like freezer burn. \n\nOverall, the place is one of the best values you can get for a steak. The 8 ounce sirloin is quite flavorful and a great value at $10.95 for the entree. And medium rare means closer to rare, which is what everybody wants to order, but is too ashamed to say it. They also have the cheesy \"pick your own steak\" freezer when you first walk in. I am not a big steak eater, but most people I know claim the Roadhouse has the best steaks under $20. They also have a good variety of smaller steak sizes. I'm not a big steak eater, so I can't stand when I go to a place and the smallest steak is 14 oz. \n\nI also highly recommend the Chicken Critters. They have managed to find that perfect middle ground between chicken fingers and funnel cake. Time for the obscure foodie reference, the Roadhouse has the only fried chicken that reminds me of the fried chicken in Chinatown in Kobe, Japan. If you have ever had the fried chicken in Kobe, you understand my quest for it. \n\nThe beer selection is limited. But you can get an ice cold Lager 22 oz draft for about $4. But it is mostly Macros plus Sam Adams. They used to carry local bottles, but I think they have stopped.\n\nThe ribs are ok, but really not much different from any other chain serving ribs. They should be better.\n\nService is not bad; it is just not good. They are not rude or anything. But usually just some overworked suburban college student. And things may arrive sporadically. Don't be surprised if your entree comes shortly after your appetizer, and your salad does not come at all. Yet the chili will always arrive within minutes after you order it.\n\nBut the place is fun, everybody there is having a good time, the prices are low and the food is good.", "Heard good things about it, Did get to go with friends of mine,then I was hooked went for Best friend's Birthday, took my parents , they loved it too. The ribs , OMG, didn't need a knife or extra sauce, fell right of bone , was juicy & tender. Their Bread -is to die for, see this is for when you wanna be bad, allow yourself to indulge !! I am fan, in mood for Ribs, or steak, they are good for this area!! Not like I'm in Texas, have alot of options.", "Food is good! We order 2 time a week, since we live right behind it. We call in our order, which is always a challenge, because they kid takes forever to write the order down. The food is VERY inconsistent. It could be great one time and then it sucks the next time. SIdes usually are not full and every time I call in I have to make sure to say that the sides are filled up. Overall its not a bad place. I just wished they were more consistent with their food." ]

Best I had in town. Crawfish spring rolls were amazing as well, bartender (dont remember her name) was super cool. We had an allergy and she was great about helping us out with that. This place is a must when I go back.", "The food is amazing!!! Came here with a group of 10 for brunch and I'm so glad they could accommodate us at the last minute on an Easter Sunday. It's a great location off Frenchman St with a view of the French Market. Service was great and the food was even better. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for delicious food at a reasonable price.", "Great food and excellent service! We were headed next door, but decided to try this on a whim and glad we did. The gnocchi with shrimp and sausage sunrise were both excellent, and be sure to try the honeynut sweet potato fries. We will definitely be back!", "Great happy hour. Love the shucked oysters - a dozen for $9. Happy hour drinks are also $6. Randall is really nice and helpful!", "I found this restaurant to be nice in decor, the general feel, the host/hostesses/staff, the food & the drinks. \n\nI found the base pricing to be fair on most items, but had the potential to get pricey. For instance pasta (alone) is one $18 for this one dish, then add in $8 more for shrimp; ehhhhhh, $26 for shrimp pasta, I'll pass. \n\nI did find the drink, Singapor Sling, to be tasty & I had a warm fuzzy feeling after just the one, WINNING!!!! A member of my dining party tried the Pimm's Cup & said it too was delightful. \n\nAnd the ambiance is great, lots of open space, which can get noisy, but makes for a more lively dining experience. \n\nService with a smile is what we got. \n\nShe separated the checks for us, although she was a little reluctant. \n\nReservations can be made & I would guess during a holiday or something of that nature, that might be recommended; but we were able to walk in, be seated & get to eating!!!! \n\nLove that a portion of the proceeds go to the Roots Music Foundation; Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of music, makes sense.", "The pim's cup daiquiris were amazing! Oysters were huge! I ordered red beans and rice with sausage and it was really well done. It comes with a side of cornbread, very comforting food.", "We stumbled upon this gem. The service was excellent! We were greeted by the host and immediately sat at a table in the back. The server came over quickly to take our drink order. \nWe ordered the sweet potato fries. They were topped off with Gorgonzola cheese and pecans. So delicious! The fries were fried perfectly. Very crispy. \nI had the red beans and rice as my entree. It came with andouille sausage, a side of cabbage and cornbread. The beans were spicy. I enjoyed them! The cabbage was yummy. I felt that the cornbread, although tasty, should have been baked a little longer. \nI got to also try the Oyster banh mi. The bread was fresh. The vegetables on the sandwich were tasty. I loved the aioli sauce on the sandwich. So good! \nThey also had many brunch items on the menu. I can't wait to go back and try their other dishes.", "This was incredible. Saw it on yelp and thought we should try it out. The atmosphere was great, the playlist was impeccable, and the staff was very friendly. But the food was what truly stood out. It was definitely the best food I had all weekend. The Honey Nut Sweet Potato Fries is a must try. All of the food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Great experience and will have to come back next time I'm in town.", "Very good food for sure.\n\nWife's fried oyster banh mi was fantastic.., 5 stars for that.\n\nI had the red beans and rice. The grilled andouille sausage was excellent as was the cabbage. The beans and rice was a bit too heavy IMO. Still, good food and excellent outdoor service." ]

[ "I'd spied the brand new Sherwood Cafe while it was under construction during a recent visit to the Fort Ben Pub, a bar & grill in the same strip center as Sherwood Cafe. When I was driving through the Fort Harrison area today, I looked over and saw that Sherwood had recently opened and took the opportunity to try it out. \n\nThe Sherwood Cafe seems to be the latest in a growing line of strip center breakfast/brunch type places opening up in Indy, though I'd say right off the bat that their decor is just as simple yet much warmer and more inviting than a good majority of these places. As I noted, it's located in a small strip center just behind the CVS at 56th & Post Road. It appears to be a small, Hispanic owned diner but with primarily American fare on its menu with a strong focus on breakfast. \n\nI've yet to see a website for Sherwood nor a Facebook page, so I'm guessing that their early business will largely be word of mouth. They had several customers dining when I did arrive, though it will be interesting to see how they do with the increasing popularity of the nearby Cafe Audrey, a similarly-themed establishment with a more comfortable and pleasing decor. \n\nSherwood Cafe has the expected breakfast fare, of course, but they also really expand upon the basics in some fun and creative ways. They also serve lunch ranging from pasta to burgers to a variety of chicken options and more. If I'd been thinking ahead, I'd have tried to pick up a menu but I'll admit that it kind of stuns me anymore when someone doesn't at least have a Facebook page. Hopefully, they'll get some social media going. Hopefully, this initial review will help!\n\nAs I'd mentioned in my Fort Ben review, this strip center isn't the most wheelchair friendly - they have a curb cut (and it's right in front of Sherwood), but the accessible spots aren't ADA compliant and the wheelchair emblem is really faded. That said, I didn't have any problem today and can't really hold it against them. \n\nThey have a single glass door going in and you're immediately in the dining area. It's a simple, quaint location with mostly 2 and 4-top tables. The walls are a warm brown with simple decorations, yet it's clear they've cleaned up the location and I was impressed with its cleanliness. The crew was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful without ever being intrusive. I arrived at 2pm - fairly close to their 4pm closing time and they were out of iced tea. They made more without a hint of being bothered by it - it was fresh, good and refilled twice. While I was tempted by breakfast, I ordered a chicken tenders meal that came with fries and one side (I chose cole slaw). The meal is one of their more expensive at $9.49 and the entire meal ran about $12. A good majority of their meals run a couple bucks less, though some of them also have fries as an ala carte option. My quick observation was that they were just a touch higher than Cafe Audrey - that may prove to be a problem. \n\nThe chicken tenders, as a matter of fact, were along the lines of Cafe Audrey's. As you may remember, I noted that Cafe Audrey had the largest tenders I'd seen. These are actually comparable in size, though I'm giving the slight nod to Cafe Audrey. These were very good and very fresh, but Cafe Audrey's tenders had a better texture and held together better. Still, both restaurants offer pretty freakin' amazing tenders. The fries here are lightly browned - good, nothing amazing but they complement the meal well. The cole slaw was clearly fresh - definitely on the creamy side, but it went with the meal well. \n\nThe service was exceptional - The servers were friendly and helpful. I'm guessing it was the owner who came out and was actively conversing with customers in a very genuine way. In fact, I think I met the entire crew and they were all chipping in and helpful. They clearly wanted to make a good impression and it felt genuine when they invited you back. \n\nWhile I'm a tad concerned about their proximity to Cafe Audrey, this area is rapidly becoming a go to place for food with the recent opening of Jockamo along with Cafe Audrey and usual favorite chains like Culver's, Panera, IHOP and others. This is clearly not a chain and you can feel it - this is a locally owned business serving up terrific customer service and very good food. I'm not quite ready to fork over the 5th star, but Sherwood Cafe won me over and I'll definitely be back.", "Just tried this new restaurant located near Fort Benjamin Harrison, and would recommend it to others looking for a simple, tasty late breakfast or lunch. The veggie omelette I had was probably the best I've had in a year or two (approaching Jersey diner quality, which is high praise from me), my wife's chicken salad wrap was good, and the service was fast. Worth a return visit.", "Great little diner. Nothing fancy, just typical diner fare, but everything was great. Several vegetarian options - I had the veggie scramble which was nice and cheesy. All the breakfast entrees come with toast, or you can upgrade to two pancakes for $.50. Service was very attentive. All in all, a solid place and I'm sure we'll be back. It's nice to have more local dining options in this neighborhood.", "Well worth finding! We were out of towners and found this fabulous breakfast spot while enjoying activities at The Fort. Prompt service and good food, must say, my over medium egg was cooked to perfection. Check it out!", "Great breakfast spot. Quick service. Good food. I found it while visiting town and will definitely be returning next time I'm in town. I recommend stopping on for breakfast if you're staying at Fort Benjamin Harrison.", "Sherwood Cafe is a great place for Breakfast !! I highly recommended it! They have a very Extensive selection for breakfast from traditional country to crepes. The pancakes I had today were very flavorful, light, fluffy and cooked perfect. The eggs, bacon and hashbrown were all delicious. The service was quick and friendly! I'll definitely be stopping in again.", "Will definitely be coming back. A few things that stood out to me are the huge menu and accommodating staff.\n\nI had the south of the border skillet and I seriously think it's the best in town. The side pancake was very good as well. There were two or three other things I have on my mind to check out. The coffee isn't THE best, but it gave me enough pep to write this review!\n\nAll in all it was a nice surprise and I would highly recommend a visit.", "We will definitely return to the Sherwood Cafe. We were greeted with smiles, the staff was genuinely nice, the food was served quickly, and it was delicious. Our cups were never empty granted we were the only ones in there for most of our time, but we were early also. I was beginning to get nervous that the place wasn't going to stay open long with the current level of business but as we were finishing our meals a crowd began to roll in. Truly my only complaint food wise was that the hash browns were a little greasy and not crisp but I'm sure they would crisp them more if I asked. \n\nNeedless to say we were delighted with our choice for breakfast and look forward to returning many more times in the future. Keep this place open people, bring them your hungry bellies. You won't be disappointed!", "This fledgling business has a wide ranging menu, especially at breakfast. Tucked into a fairly vacant strip center, it's a bit starved for business, especially at breakfast. The restaurant is very plainly spartan, but prices are very reasonable and food is freshly prepared. The extremely pleasant owner greets patrons making all feel welcome. Though business will pick up as the area continues to develop, please stop in now so they can weather the start-up lean times. It's a worthy addition to Lawrence.", "Great food! Even better service! They have several things I would like to try, but the sausage omelette is so good, I rarely order anything else. Good coffee. We started coming when we lived in the area. We don't make it as often since we moved to Fishers, but we still make a point to drive down from time to time. It never disappoints." ]

[ "The folks who own and operate Shere-E-Punjab in Media have opened a second Indian restaurant in our hometown of Drexel Hill. Who ever thought that we'd be just five minutes away from remarkably good lamb vindaloo and tandoori chicken? \n\nThe interior of Shere-E-Punjab is typical metro swank -- tiled floors, earthtones and dark woods abounding. If you're seated at one of the spacious booths near the floor-to-ceiling windows you'll have a view of the parking lot in front of Fisher's Hardware and not much else, so just keep looking at your dinner partner and dipping your nann into the excellent chutney on the table in front of you. \n\nThe samosas are understated when you take your first bite but increasingly complex as you chew -- layer upon layer of spice and starch unfolding on the tongue. The lamb and chicken dishes are superb. If you're unfraid of spicey Indian cuisine then ask your waitperson to have your dish seasoned at an \"eight\" and you won't be disappointed. Their desserts and lassis are especially good so treat yourself.\n\nThis is a BYOB restaurant and surprisingly affordable (a multicourse meal for three of us cost less than fifty dollars). They also serve a daytime buffet seven days a week, and if it's half as good as the one at the Media Shere-E-Punjab we'll be spending many a lunch hour ignoring the awning of the Ace Hardware across the asphalt of the Drexeline Shopping Center and enjoying the excellent food and attentive service. Highly recommended.\n\nOne cautionary note: The wait staff is very good and quite professional. Your dishes will be delivered quickly and your water glasses refilled with great diligence. But you'll have to be persistent about getting your check. I had to flag down three of the staff in order to get a bill delivered to the table.", "The wife and I just visited today for a late lunch buffet (1:30). The place was busy but we only had to wait a minute or two. \n\nWe have visited their media location before so we know what to expect and we were not disappointed. The 7 day a week lunch buffet is a great way to have some excellent food without burning a lot of time or $$. The weekend buffet is $11.95 and during the week it's a bit cheaper. All the basic dishes are here and they are cooked appropriately and kept filled.\n\nThe wait staff was excellent. Very friendly and always kept our drinks filled. This restaurant is a nice addition to the Drexel Hill area!", "Great experience here!! My husband and I went for dinner here on a week night. We had Indian food before so we stuck to what we knew. Chicken Tikka Masala for me and Chicken Tikka for him. Our server was very nice and pushed my limits insisting that I have regular spicy instead of mild. He was right and joked with us about it later. I really enjoyed the interaction but others may think it's intrusive. Our food came out so fast and it was hot. It didn't taste like something that had been sitting around all day. We had garlic naan also and our bill was around $30. There was still enough food left over for lunch the next day and we left stuffed. This is a new favorite.\n\nUpdate: I had my birthday dinner here (party of ten). It seemed very reasonable on the wallet for all but something out of norm. The service was impeccable. I had two friends that got lost and didn't come in until an hour after we had finished. The staff acted like it was no problem. The were promptly given water and their food came out in like 15 minutes. We closed the place down!! It was about 10pm (dinner started at 6:30) and they handed us the check. We didn't get the condescending \"you need coffee dessert? no! then go home!\" treatment.", "If your in the mood for great Indian food try out this Indian buffet 7 days a week. Lunch hours and amazing. \n\nGreat selection of all the dishes along with the mint chutney which my Mom and I love. I was so happy to see a great Indian restaurant close to my old hometown. It makes it very convenient to come home and stop out for an affordable, quick, quality lunch. \n\nGreat Indian food is hard to come by sometimes and once you find a place it is hard to let go. The Naan is served to each table warm and fresh and is great of sopping up all the great saucy flavors from your plate. \n\nBy far one of the best additions to this plaza and area. If you are an Indian fan I recommend the lunch buffet. You will never leave once you enjoy the great service, exceptional food, and nice ambiance. \n\nIf you enjoy your experience please yelp it and keep it going.", "Loving Indian food as much as I do, I was thrilled when we received a menu in the mail from Shere-e-Punjab for Drexel Hill during the summer. I scooted on over there (only took me less than five minutes) and indulged in the lunch buffet. Fantastic! Everything was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. Now, I go twice a week and I'm never disappointed. I've brought some friends and they enjoy the food as much as I do. It has to be one of the best restaurants for Indian cuisine that I have ever had.\n\nThe interior is inviting with comfortable booths and the service is exceptional. The food is constantly replenished on the buffet and the price is terrific: $8.00 every day including the weekend. A true bargain considering you get to eat all of this marvelous food and as much as you want. So, spread the word to friends and family. They'll love it.", "A great Delco option! Went on a Sunday at noon, sat right down, had a drink and my first plate of food within 5 minutes Everything on the buffet was hot and fresh! Service was good and you get your own basket of fresh naan instead of it being on the buffet. $20 for two of us with tip. I can't wait to go back, and I can anytime since it is close to home and I don't have to fight for parking downtown!", "I am married to an Indian woman, so I have become a pseudo expert on Indian restaurants. This has become our favorite place of all of them. The malai kofta, peshwari naan, and mango lassi are highly recommended.", "Was looking to try Indian food and this place was recommended by a friend - and boy was I glad they did.\n\nThe 7 day a week lunch buffet is a great way to try different things and everything is always hot and fresh.\n\nThe naan is made fresh and served to your table and can get as much as you would like.\n\nThe service is always excellent, very friendly and prompt.\n\nHighly recommend the mango lassi along with all the delicious food on the buffet.\n\nHave also done take-out and the food quality is still top-notch.", "I'm not an expert on Indian food, but of all the places I've been in this area I would say this is the best I've had.\nA friend of mine from London always said go close to a teaching hospital and you'll find the best Indian restaurant. Well, I've been to a couple downtown and Khajauro in Ardmore, and I would say Punjab is much better.\nThey start you off with Papadams. The lamb Vindaloo was spicy , but not super hot. The waitress offered to make it as hot as I wanted, but my son made that mistake one time at a place in NY and couldn't get out of the house the next day. I stayed with what she said was a 6 on a scale of 10.\nNext time I might try a 7 just to see. Garlic stuffed Naan was excellent. I love Naan's and they offer 6 versions, including some I hadn't seen before. The shrimp dish the waitress recommended was also good, but I don't remember the name. This place is so much better than Khajauro and the portions are better. The Nann was 5 large moist pieces stuffed with garlic, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.\nThe bill, for 2 including tax..............................$33.00.\nHow crazy is that? They don't charge for corkage and they take all credit cards. REstaurant sits back in a strip mall so you have to look carefully when you are going there, but I will go back for sure.", "Love!

Don't expect fries with your sandwich--the owner (?) is proud to say that they don't offer anything that had to be cooked in oil.", "Just disappointed. I love a good gyro and had high hopes. Ordered the super chicken gyro and the thing was a huge mess. Way too much hummus and the flavors didn't mesh well at all. After a while just found it impossible to eat.", "Good gyro.

I'd never been here before, so I decided to give it a shot. The Gyro Shack did not disappoint!

This includes: Omelets, fried eggs, hash browns, cream chipped beef, scrapple, bacon, and French toast. \n\nNo one at Country House is that friendly, but who wants to be cheerfully yammered at when they are hungover on a Sunday morning, anyway? And I kind of wish they'd stop calling it a \"Restaurant,\" when everything about it - decor, food, servers - screams, \"DINER!!!!\" \n\nIf I ever go there for a meal other than breakfast, I'll update. For now: I'm a fan.", "I am visiting relatives in the area on my way back to college, and this was the second time I had been to this place. The first time I had been to the Country House, it was under renovation. Good breakfast food, even though the dining room didn't look like much. \n\nThe newly remodeled diner was much better looking. I just got back from a dinner at the Country House, and I had the Main Line Burger. The burger was a 6 oz burger with fries and cole slaw. My meal was just enough to fill me up. However, my aunt and uncle got meals that were very very large. My aunt had the eggplant parm, and my uncle had the stuffed tomato. The eggplant parm came with a salad and a dessert. The stuffed tomato was basically a large salad, with large heaps of cole slaw and potato salad. I probably would have only finished half of their meals. For dessert, I had tapioca pudding, which was probably from a can, but still it was decent.\n\nThe wait staff lacked something to be desired, but they weren't too terrible. It seemed like they only had one person on wait staff.\n\nPros: Neighborhood restaurant with lots of options. Decent prices for the portions.\n\nCons: Slow(ish) wait staff. The fries sort of had a fishy flavor.", "Does not elevate the concept of Jersey dinner, doesn't even meet basic expectations. Unseasoned, bland hash browns, burnt eggs, kinda on the pricey side for what you get. However, pancakes were ok.\n\nService was polite and quick, but this was nothing special as far as breakfast goes. Conveniently located right before I295 on-ramp, but I don't think that will be reason enough for me to come back.", "Had breakfast there recently for the second time and was impressed again. I ordered the spanish omelet again because it was so good the last time. Now If they only served grits, I could be in heaven. The service was good and friendly. Great coffee and atmosphere.", "It's snowing so wanted something close and quick. Had a cheese steak hoagie and it was very good. Chicken orzo soup also good. Service was fast and friendly.", "As a NJ Diner, it deserves a 5 Star Rating - but now when compared to 5 star restaurants! Great place with some really good food. Omelets are huge and very tasty. Homemade chili is a must. Try it. I am sure you will not be disappointed.", "Real family place\nGreat Greek family \nHome made food old fashion \nI did enjoy my meal all the time\nThe prices are more than fair", "This is a good, simple diner with a small menu but reasonable prices and good service.\n Whenever we visit here, the service has always been friendly and quick, the dining room is clean, and we've never had to wait very long to sit. They're always busy but never overcrowded, which is just right! It means the staff is on their toes and the customers are coming back again and again.\n While they don't have the same charm as the Train Station Cafe, the Country House has slightly lower prices and speedier service. They are right next to 295 so it's great for a pit stop, and it's also right up the street from the Riverwinds park which is a great place to just enjoy a nice day and watch the planes land across the river.", "clean place, decent service. My one complaint is that I ordered a California Salad. The lettuce was soaked, so the dressing doesn't stick (helloooo, salad spinners were created for a reason). The salad had bacon on it, but they threw on a bunch of full strips of bacon. And the cheddar was double-stacked strips of cut cheese. Shredded cheddar, chopped up bacon and dry lettuce would have made me a happy girl. Prices are very affordable and the soft serve ice cream is very good." ]

It's a great neighborhood staple!", "Excellent addition to the neighborhood. Could up their game a bit.\n\nI was excited to have this come into the neighborhood. Have eaten there or taken out 3 times. As others have said, the roti canai is excellent. However, in some ways it seems like they are trying to offer too many cuisines at once and some of the sauces end up muddy. Mind you, this is very good.

Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, and tasty dishes. \n\nBurmese, Malaysian, & Thai food, but did not try the latter. Golden Sweet Salad was phenomenal (shredded sweet potatoes, taro, carrot, turnip, orange skin, and grapefruit skin with a lightly spicy sesame sauce).\n\nThe Indian Chili Chicken with a complex brown sauce was very good.

This place is perfect if you're looking for something a little different. We ordered for delivery through GrubHub and were pleased that the delivery time was less than what was estimated and that the delivery man was very friendly. \n\nFor appetizers, Boyfriend and I ordered the Tea Leaf Salad, which neither of us had tried before but really enjoyed, and the Dumplings, which came with a vinegar dipping sauce, which was an unusual flavor combo, but we really loved it. For our entrees, Boyfriend got Pineapple Fried Rice, which he devoured, and I got the Moo Hin Ka. I had never had it before, but I LOVED it. The noodles and fried peas came separately from the chicken and broth to maintain the interesting textures. It had the comfort food quality of a chicken and dumplings, with Asian flair. Perfect for a rainy night. \n\nWe will definitely be eating here again.", "Fantastic value! Great food and service with reasonable prices. I wish there were more restaurants like this in the world.

Our entire party felt disappointed. \n\nThis one needs improvement. Food is 3 star. Portion 2 star. I had the pork carnitas which is essentially pork cushion meat - one of the cheapest cuts of meat on the pig. But they charge exorbitant rates for 3 little tiny - barely 3 inch appetizer-sized tortillas. (It's like being in the city prices - except you're in the suburbs)....\n\nAppetizers were good. We had the ceviche it was beautifully presented and really had nice flavor ... obviously ceviche is a smaller portion - so we expected that. We did not try the guac- which I have tried at Other loc and LOVE it!\n\nOrdered dessert since we were yes still hungry?!... So we went with the cinnamon inspired churros ice cream. We split it and it was a big hit. Something different and still worked well with the Mexican style flow of the meal or shall I say... Snacks.\n\nI will say though that the wait staff is a 5 star. \nThey are accommodating and well trained professionals. \n\nBAR: needs training. \nI had 2 margaritas. The first one was bland and I was not happy at all however, I ordered a second one and it was superstrong. (????)\nThe bar needs to have continuity across the board on all of their drinks -maybe the bar staff needs to be trained on how to build a perfect margarita....If you're going to open a \"good\" Mexican inspired type restaurant you'd better have the best drinks for margaritas in town - note to owner!!!", "Very disappointing experience. The dinner portions are very small and don't include any sides. \n\nTheir signature pork tacos consisted of 3 very small tacos with minimal pork. Most of the \"Mexican\" restaurants in the area include at least rice and beans..... This place charges for any sides. \nThe guacamole was only ok. Nothing interesting about it and we were not offered any spice level. Bland. The salsa tastes like they opened a can of tomato sauce and dumped it in the bowl. \n\nThe staff was friendly enough and there seemed to be 1000 of them running around although they didn't seem to be on top of things like refills, etc. \n\nWith the other Mexican options in the area (senor salsa, mad mex, etc), I see absolutely no reason to ever return here.

Black bean soup, brisket enchiladas, fish tacos, side plantains, and a couple of non-premium margaritas puts you well north of 50 before tip. Service was attentive, and the manager comped the soup and offered chips and salsa unsolicited because of the length of time it took to get the soup to table. Quality of all items was solid, and particularly liked the slightly thicker than usual verde/tomatillo sure on the enchiladas. Portions aren't particularly generous, but not chintzy either. Slick city style like the other Feliz locations.", "Average experience. Normal sized portions. Everything is a-la-carte. Nothing special to make me come back.

It wasnt busy at all and I was unsure why she kept rushing us- well that what it felt like. \n\nAnyways I probably wont come back here because of the price of the food for four of us we got one drink and a meal and it was around $80+ and that's ridiculous.", "I was there when it was a wine and pizza bar and came back one more time as a taqueria...nope!

It was all pretty good. We started with the octopus appetizer- it's sliced into these round little tender medallions and coated in a delicious sauce. Then we had their fried chicken skin gauc- this is a must try if you're in the mood for guacamole. So divine! The chicken skins give it great flavor and a good crunch to the creamy avocado. There's also grilled onions in it and it's a great complement to it all. Then my gf got the chicken tortilla soup-pretty good size portion and probably the only thing she wasn't impressed with. I got the arugula and fig salad which was fresh and delicious. Then we ended it with grilled fish tacos and lamb tacos. The fish was ok-gf found a bone in hers. The lamb was amazing!! I would go back for the lamb tacos alone. They did not skimp on the meat. For all those people complaining about portion sizes, I think y'all are greedy.

They've got all the Feliz favorites with some unique twists. I got the cauliflower tacos with the bibb lettuce wraps. We also had the potato and pulp, which was great. Not fishy at all, tasted clean and savory. They had one of my favorite beers on tap, Grapefruit Sculpin from Ballast Point. Had a margarita as well. I look forward to coming back when I am closer, but until then I'll be at Cantina Feliz or the manayunk spot. Also, the Budino is one of the best deserts in Montco.", "Had a reservation for 8:30 on cinco de mayo because we were in the mood for margs and nachos. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated, however the wait staff was super friendly and the kitchen sent out complimentary guac right away. \n\nThe nachos were outstanding and the guacamole was worth the wait, perfect bar food. The first round of margaritas were a little watery, while the second were more tequila than anything else.

SO had French toast. Everything was really good, corned beef was some of the best I've had. They serve kahwa coffee and the service was fantastic.

This place will really benefit when those things are done. Overall still a very good breakfast spot.", "Food was decent. Not over the top just standard. It is a Cuban cafe turned American owned. They still serve Cuban food as if the previous owners still work there but are owned by someone new. It is a little over priced for the basic quality. \n\nThey also didn't have a lunch menu being that they just opened 2 weeks ago. Service was mediocre. Friendly but not memorable. \n\nWill I return, maybe when I get a craving for Cuban food again.", "Love the Burg Diner!!! We have visited the original burg on Central and are very excited about this location close to home on 49th street! Great traditional menu with Burg specials that seem to be Greek and Cuban themed!! Huge portions make this a great value and friendly staff make this a hit!!!", "We stopped here for breakfast and were a bit surprised at how lacking it was. We love the original Burg and expected a lot more from the Burg Diner. It wasn't necessarily bad and, in fact, the home fries were crispy and well-cooked, but nothing was seasoned and the eggs were way overcooked. Ben F ordered \"thick cut\" bacon, one of the options on the menu, and received two slices of grizzly-looking, grey, under cooked \"bacon\". He sent it back to be cooked a bit more but it still just wasn't good.\nThe decor was very unfinished looking. There were framed pictures/posters leaning against the wall, kitschy items oddly organized on other walls, almost like it was just thrown up in a hurry. \nOverall, it wasn't all bad but not enough to draw me back.", "My normal breakfast place is starting to decline in quality because they're getting so busy because other diners have closed around them, and I'm not thrilled to have to wait for a table for breakfast. \n\nStopped in at the Burg Diner around 9:30, and there was plenty of seating available, so I sat at the counter. Service was pretty good, though the three servers seemed out of sorts even though it wasn't busy at all. I guess the place is still new and they're trying to figure out how to use the iPads for ordering ? \n\nI had the western omelet and home fries that comes with toast and a strawberry, nice touch. The omelet was decent and I really enjoyed the home fries, they were cooked well and you could tell they cooked them with butter, yum ! The only thing I wish they did was butter the toast, I want to eat and not prep my toast :)\n\nThe breakfast menu is kind of small compared to other diners, though you can ask them to make anything you want, but you don't know how much it will cost. I didn't see a lunch or dinner menu, but I didn't look for one either, so I will check that out when I go back for breakfast.\n\nI hope they stay busy enough to remain in that location, but not so busy I have to wait for a table or seat at the counter.", "My daughter and I had breakfast here and it was good. She had pancakes and I had the eggs Benedict. The food was nice. Nothing really special, but I will definitely come back. \n\nThe service was awesome though. It's obvious the people who work there have pride in their environment. It's really nice to see. I hope they do well!", "Great place in the \"middle district\" of St Pete off 49th and 30th ave. Great Burg favorites, freshest breakfast in town, and they pay homage to the old Cuban Delight with a cool Cuban menu! Small space so get here early! Limited seating out front.", "Love the Greek salad with gyro meat - a medium is absolutely huge. Much better than other local Greek places." ]

There is not always a very large crowd, which means easy in and out. \n\nThe food here is pretty good. I've eaten a lot of the menu, and I have a few favorites. The orange chicken bowl and the 3 cheese penne pasta are really good. I am not a fan of any of the burgers they have to offer, it just seems like they always have a burnt taste. Over all the menu is acceptable, and I can see this as a great place to pick up a nice lunch or to take someone out for a casual dinner.", "2 things to start. First, I avoid chain restaurants for the most part and second I try not to be a food snob. Today I fail at both in writing this review.\nLast night while shopping with my kids we stopped at Applebee's. The place was pretty empty and we were sat right away. Right by the door I might add. (it was 11 degree's outside, so when the door opened you knew it.)\nIt took almost 10 minutes before our server appeared to greet us. This annoys me. He did apologize and took our order. We all wanted something fast since it was getting late so it was chicken fingers all around. I ordered mine tossed with buffalo sauce and a side of bleu cheese, the kids got the standard. Mine came out wrong... How do you mess up chicken fingers? \nI will say the beer was good and cold and we had front row parking. Not much else happened to help raise the rating. We paid the check and hit the door.", "The service was great at this location. \n\nWe were coming back from a trip to Florida and stopped to get food here. Our daughter had a long day and was kinda freaking out and crying. The bar tender was super nice and brought over a plate of fruit for her to snack on before our food got there. \n\nThe waitress we had was awesome and really took care of us, I never had an empty glass and after coming back from a 30 minute wait every place we went in Florida, this place was a breath of fresh air. \n\nI think the food was decent and had good flavor. We had the 2 for $20 and drank waters and got really great service. So in turn we left a good tip. \n\nI would recommend this Apple Bee's to anyone that wants a great meal with great service.", "Applebee's advertises in HI, but we don't have any locations. So, to my surprise when I flew up to Indianapolis for the marathon and an Applebees was nearby my hotel. After being seated, I looked around and saw the decor of this place. It was abundantly clear that they are trying to mimic Chili's. When I was there, it was relatively quiet with a few patrons on a Thursday around 4:30pm. \n\nThe server was nice, although I had gotten a vibe like she didn't really want to be there that day. Oh well. Forgot my ID and had a soda, instead of liquor. Ordered the 12 oz steak entree to eat in restaurant while ordering the pasta carbornara for later. Both tasted good and hot the spot on a lazy day to do really nothing.\n\nNice restaurant though. Good service and plenty of parking around the restaurant. If not, park around the Castleton Mall.", "I went on a Friday night around 8 & the place was far from busy or packed, which was great. Of course once it got near 9 it started to get packed due to the half price apps. Here's the deal w/ the half price apps not all are half price so be sure to ask your server. Also all Applebees don't participate, but this one did so again you should ask your server. You also have to buy a drink to get the half price apps. \n\nThe server was courteous. We had to wait a while for the rest of our our party to show up, he kept filling drinks, & checking on us. He also laughed entertained us as well. Overall good experience. I'm not a big fan of Applebees unless it's the half price apps \n\n*just my opinion tho & we all know what those are like*", "I usually don't go to chain restaurants but I probably saw a commercial for Applebees and was craving it. Went on a Saturday and night and it was pretty crowded for 8 pm. Even though busy the service was pretty good, the waitress gave us recommendations and seemed to know the menu pretty well. I ordered the lime chicken and my bf ordered the steak. My bf ordered the steak medium rare and thats how it came out, not over cooked. Chicken was moist and not dry. During the middle of our dinner manager came by and asked how our dinner was. He was pretty nice because he noticed my drink was close to needing a refill and refilled it for me. What I was impressed was that even thought the restaurant was super busy, I didn't feel like I was being rushed out. Food came out pretty quickly even thought it was busy. I may change my views on chain restaurants from now on.", "Applebee's has really stepped it up a notch with their improved menu. This is one chain restaurant I don't mind coming to every once in awhile. Not sure what to say that hasn't been already said a million times before", "What can I say? I LOVE Applebee's food and I wasn't disappointed here. The place was clean, staff good and service good as well. I had the grilled shrimp and spinich salad and wasn't disappointed. I would go back again if in the area.", "The service was good but the food was just HORRIBLE. Absolutely bad. It was the roast beef bacon mushroom sandwich. The meat was not only burnt it was stale and way way over seasoned, and the fries were cold.

[ "Panera is a chain sandwich shop and bakery. The food is tasty and prepared consistently, and service is capable. This particular location is very near the King of Prussia mall, but is across a busy street so walking there may be inconvenient. Prices match what one would find at comparable alternatives (Corner Bakery, Bear Rock Cafe). The seating area itself is broken up into nooks and booths are available, giving some privacy.", "Panera Bread is much like Corner Bakery, but a bit less sophisticated. The menus are very similar. I got some kind of Chipotle panini and it was pretty good. It's too bad that the turkey inside was still a litte cold. Is it supposed to be like that? Anyway, the place just opened within the past 2-3 months. The seating is great and there's a great view of the mall Cheesecake Factory side (where I wish I was instead). \n\nI think the pastries are a bit overpriced, but then again I say that about everywhere. My bill was just under $10 for a panini combo (panini... choice of bread, soup, or salad, and a refillable drink). There were mostly old people inside. Eh, oh well.\n\nAnyway, I might check it out again some time.", "Because of this Panera Bread's proximity to King of Prussia, Costco, and the movie theater, I've been here at least 4 times. Each time, some different person manages to get my order wrong. \n\nDon't get me wrong, I love Panera bread, but the service that this location provides is horrible! The first time I ordered a panini and I stood there for at least 15 minutes before I went up and asked about my order. It turns out, \"it never went through\" (although the charge on my credit card certainly did!) The mistakes made in the second/third orders were also relatively small but irritating to fix. How hard is it to take an order for a salad or a sandwich?? Usually the place is pretty empty too =/\n\nI think the 4th time is the last straw. They messed up the salad that I ordered (I asked them to omit some ingredients because of allergy restrictions) and when I checked the receipt, saw they charged me for \"extra\"! So I got back in line holding my salad like a huge idiot, and after a 20minute wait (even though there were only 2 customers ahead of me), it took 5 different people another 20minutes to solve the issue. In total I probably spent about 45minutes just waiting to get the right food. They refunded me the \"extras\" charge, but not the cost of the total bill (about $8). I\"m trying not to gripe about 8 bucks, but a 45minute wait is kind of ridiculous.\n\nPassing on this Panera forever =/\nHopefully other Paneras in this area will be better.", "I normally love Panera, and given that I live in Center City Philly, it's a treat when I make my way to one. This one was definitely sub-par. We got there after 8 and ordered (3 people, each ordered a you-pick-two). First thing they told us was that they were out of multigrain baguettes. Fine, I'll take a slice of multigrain bread. We get to the pick-up counter, no multigrain bread. No chicken and wild rice soup either. My sandwich was thrown together...the turkey was like a blob in the middle of the bread. Panera, I love you, but this experience was pretty bad. I know it was toward the end of the evening, but cmon.", "This location of Panera was very busy at lunchtime, but they were very efficiently processing everyone's orders - except those who wanted a panini. Something had happened to the panini griller, but apparently they got it working again. Many of us had to wait a bit longer than normal. Unfortunately they had set up my mac 'n cheese on the counter while we all waited for the panini, so you guessed it, it got lukewarm. When the panini finally came off the grill, they tried to put it on the wrong plate.\n\nI'm sure they can do better, but this visit wasn't so great.\n\nThe food was like any other Panera, consistently tasty.", "Panera and I get along very well. Sandwiches? Good. Soup? Gooood. Put those items in a bakery, and hopefully you are guaranteed a good meal. My one suggestion is to go for cold signature sandwiches, and salads too, rather than their delicious sounding paninis because the hot sandwiches are premade, and thrown on the grill to order. Not a bad thing at all, but just not as fresh and the made to order (therefore customizable) items.\n\nPanera is what Panera does; it's fast casual, familiar food. It's generally about a dollar more than I'd like to pay for this kind of set up in this kind of economy, but what are ya gonna do. I've gone here quite a few times, and I like that they don't bat an eye when I go in to buy just a Dr. Pepper in order to enjoy a work break and the free wifi. The cashiers and sandwich makers have always been very friendly, and I've even been witness to a manager very efficiently and politely settling a complaining customer straight, and happy to boot. Good job. I merely dock one star for the almost complete lack of healthy, low sodium foods and that there aren't as many new items added to the menu as personally I enjoy.", "I'm giving this fours stars on general ambiance and taste of the food.\n\nI was attending a conference in the area and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg for dinner. This Panera is in a nice little shopping center across from the King of Prussia Mall. \n\nWhen I came by about 6:30 or so, there was hardly anyone in the place. The manager waiting on me pretty quickly (no line). One of the staff members was a little slow on the uptake but the guy who made my sandwich was fast enough. Although I realized the guy who took my order didn't ask about my \"side (bread, chips or apple) and the chips were the default. No prob. I got the bread and the chips.\n\nI really liked the ambiance of the place. Nice seating, nicely arranged with pleasant lighting and nice soft jazz playing through the speakers. It was a nice change from the super busy Panera Bread place in my home turf which are always packed and noisy.\n\nI really liked this Panera.", "Super weird/unfriendly cashier/barista. She said she had never heard of the drink I asked her to make (chocolate chai... Not that exotic). She then proceeded to put her nose in my drink and smell it, saying \"it doesn't smell like I thought it would.\" Seriously!?!? The Gouda and sausage soufflé is awesome... The only reason for 3 stars.", "This Panera location is well run, with managers who are on top of things. We have been frequent customers in the 4 years since they've opened, and things have only gotten better with time. Occasionally, I see a new employee who obviously doesn't want to be there, and they don't last long.\n\nThe chain continues to update their menu, and seasonal items are holiday favorites in our house.", "the servers here were racist. this one guy ignored us for half an hour just cause we're asian. after waiting for over an hour and a half for our food we over hear him talking about my family. he was telling his co workers how he ignored and pretended he put in the order. what kind fo messed up service is this? just cause we were the only asian family there, is it wrong to expect equality? i've never been soo insulted in my life. who do he think he is?! what makes him better than us? just cause he's caucasian? well then. \n\n\n\nnot only was the food bad, the service was awful. if they weren't going to treat all races the same, they should of put up a sign that says \"we don't believe in equality among all races. you're experience will vary depending on your race. thank for coming.\"" ]

[ "The Nashville Symphony has a new home at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The nearly 1900-seat hall is an excellent venue to hear live classical music. The architects traveled to music halls around the world for inspiration, and some complain that the Schermerhorn copied too much from Amsterdam's Concertgebouw and Vienna's Musikvereinsaal. Maybe so, but the acoustics are undeniably amazing. I enjoyed the program of Beethoven & Tchaikovsky music that i attended.", "Attended the Elvis Costello performance featuring the Nashville Symphony. The facility was amazing... gorgeous marble, art deco inspired flight fixtures, and beautiful architecture. Acoustics were impressive although to be honest, the Symphony accompaniment was so-so. They sounded under-rehearsed which was a disappointment as an entire piece (Il Sogno) was played sans Costello.\n\nAt any rate, loved the Schermerhorn. Will be back again.", "The symphony hall is brand new to Nashville and a fabulous addition to the downtown architecture. The symphony hall is beautiful and modern, taking its cues from the Art Deco school of design. I absolutely love the art deco metal and glass chandeliers they have in the main hall. I find myself starring at them during every intermission when I am not people watching. Nashville is still trying to figure out what \"symphony hall\" means, so don't be surprised if you see some people dressed in windbreakers and jeans. That's alright, its one step at a time Nashville! First come to the symphony, second, get yourself a shoe shine and a suit jacket... \n\nI attended the Phillip Glass performance, and a program by the Nashville Symphony performing Dvorak. I think the symphony is still trying to figure out what the community likes best. The symphony works hard to build up their calendar with lots of Pop events in addition to the classical calendar. This is definitely in attempt to ease Nashville into coming out for symphony events. Regardless of the program, the room sounds amazing. \n\nThe Schermerhorn offers free parking in the Suntrust garage on 4th Ave. For some events they also have a shuttle service from the garage to the symphony hall.", "We (being Nashville) were so thrilled when Schermerhorn opened--this symphony hall is right up there with other top notch cities! It was hailed in the New York Times as a fantastic new symphony hall in the United States as well. \n\nBuilt to last hundreds of years to come, the architecture is classic yet modern--very \"art deco\" on the inside. Take the free tour (they are daily when there is not a huge event going on) and be amazed at the details you would probably never notice otherwise. One of my favorite features of the hall is the floor--it can be flat for \"jazz bistro\" style concerts, where they have tables set up, or they can move it so that it is tiered with rows of chairs. WAY cool, and something you probably won't see at other, older halls. \n\nI have seen several different style concerts here--traditional and classical symphony, and also the jazz series--I was lucky enough to go to this one in the box seats. I have to say, that's a fabulous way to go! You have your own little room where they serve you food and drink (depending on the event and your sponsor, I'm assuming) and have an excellent view of the entire place. \n\nI highly recommend you check this out--either just for a tour, or if you get a chance, for any type of concert! It's truly beautiful and amazing.", "This is a stunningly beautiful venue that is also extremely versatile. We saw Wynton Marsalis on night and Lyle Lovett and friends another. Each concert we were in a different location, but for each we heard and saw everything perfectly.\n\nThe floor configuration will change with each concert, setting it up for the optimal viewing and listening. For Wynton, there were people sitting behind the band, giving them a very unique perspective, as well as giving the performers someone to laugh and joke with!\n\nThe design and decor of the building is stunning. I'm glad it was built and can't wait to see more.", "I went to the symphony, for a children's program, and was blown away! Not only is the building beautiful and newly renovated, but the performance was fantastic. The head of the symphony came out and explained how the orchestra is set up, what is section does, and how it all comes together. Then he explained how we detect pitch and tone. I'm tone deaf, so I never fully picked up on this. The children seemed to, but not me. Sad, I know!\n\nAnyway, I just not could get over how organized the whole thing was and how they got the children involved. You saw little hands all over the room come raised so that they just might be called on stage. That is certainly the mark of an effective program.\n\nAnd the orchestra itself was marvelous. They play old favorites like Beethoven's 5th symphony, lots of Mozart, and the like. Then they played some Disney tunes to see if the kids would recognize them. Of course they did. It was a great afternoon and fun to watch children experience something so enchanting.", "All you can really say is wow. Compared to TPAC where the Symphony used to play, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center is quite amazing. I wasn't sure how it would fit in to the rest of downtown, but it is a very beautiful (if slightly staid) building. Even if you are not a big fan of the outside of the building, I think the concert hall itself is spectacular. It is modeled after the shoebox designs of some concert halls in Europe (at least that's what I read). The seating is great even if there are some limited views from the side balcony seats. There is also seating behind the stage looking directly down on the orchestra. I would be curious to sit here and see what that experience is like. There are all kinds of windows in the concert hall (most of the reviews on the web mention all of the natural light). \n\nI would say that Nashville got a great place for the Symphony. They just hired a new conductor which should start an exciting new time for them. They also are kicking off their season with Ben Folds and the orchestra. Elvis Costello (with the Symphony) has played here as has his wife, Diana Krall (sans orchestra). \n\nThe outdoor courtyard is a great place to enjoy a cocktail before you take in a concert. The view of the symphony and the pedestrian bridge is spectacular. I would say this is a lovely addition to Nashville's cultural scene.", "The Schermerhorn is simply an amazing place to hear any kind of musics. I heard the Chieftains play here in March and I was amazed. The only down side of the performance was the use of amps and speakers. I really felt that the sound was compromised by this. \n\nUnaltered music really shines in here, and any changes to it just tend to screw it up. \n\nThe food and drink selections in the lobby were a lot better than I expected them to be. They carry a surprising selection of pastries, coffee and wine. I was lucky because they had to move us to better seats (oh darn) and gave us two drink vouchers.", "I took a tour of the Nashville Symphony and was blown away at how fantastic of a venue this place is. First, the façade has a bit of the classic roman look (big pillars and large overhangs) combined with a bit of a modern touch. Inside is another story. The main hall is beautify ornate with large chandeliers and beautiful woodwork. The architects did a great job, as every seat in the house has a commanding view of the stage. The tour is about thirty minutes long and the guide tells you all about the history of the building and the inspiration for the style of the façade. Also, they host all sorts of acts that range from classical music to more contemporary acts. I really look forward a show here in the near future.", "Fashioned like a giant greek bathhouse for your hearing pleasure, the symphony center with the funny name is an ode to the ancients...and the symphony is not bad either!" ]

Normal ital menu, but they also serve very well prepared USDA Prime filets and Ribeye. $16 bottles of Coppola Claret....\nGot bonus points from me for high end salt n pepper grinders at each table...did I mention the restaurant is beautiful inside - granite table tops, stained floors, stone accents and a wall of wine.", "We've been waiting for this Joey's location to open ever since the \"coming soon\" signs went up. We were very pleased with our first trip. Our waiter, Ron, was more than a little attentive. Then, again, there were only six tables busy. That'll change as more people find this place. Started with the St Louis ravioli. Was piping hot and delicious. \nFor dinner, I ordered Manicotti with meat sauce. Filling was delicious. Meat sauce could have used some more spices, but I'm not complaining. Also served piping hot. My wife ordered the lasagne. HUGE portion. There's enough left for both of us to share and we probably won't finish THAT. \nSince they bake on order, allow a little extra time or know what you want when you hit the door so they can start on it while you tackle any of a number of appetizers and a salad. I had the Caesar my wife had the house. Both were huge. We could probably do a salad and an appetizer and be full. \nWine selection is low to mid-scale. You won't find a Nickel and Nickel or Stag's Leap Artemis on the list. The wine mark-up is about double, which is pretty normal for restaurants. They want $20 for a bottle of 14 Hands merlot which you can get at Walmart for ten bucks. \nThe only ding I can think of - and it's not a ding as it's more of a personal preference - the bread they serve is doused with garlic butter and, to me, appears to be made from pizza dough. I imagine a lot of people will love that. I much prefer the bread and dipping spices at Carrabba's. On the plus side, it kept me from filling up on bread while waiting for our entrees. \nLarge portions, reasonable prices (our bill with an app, two entrees and two glasses of wine was $58 before tip.

This review is based on our \"dine in\" experience and we ordered stuffed mushrooms for our appetizer and a Stromboli each for our meal. \n\nI'll start with the PROS: The service was good and the Stromboli was tasty. The portion sizes are huge, and two people could definitely split one Stromboli. They have a decent wine selection but the prices per glass are a bit high.\n\nNow for the CONS: We both had only water to drink since my husband wanted a beer but their craft beer selection is limited to bottles of Yuengling or Sam Adams. The stuffed mushrooms were...interesting. They were stuffed with a Stove Top-esque type of actual stuffing and sitting on a plate of brown gravy. Also there was something unusually crunchy in the stuffing mix that occasionally I would bite down on. It was quite similar to that feeling when you eat an oyster and it feels like you're biting on a pebble or sand. We will not be ordering them again. As for the Stromboli it tasted good but had way too few toppings and too much cheese (and don't get me wrong, I'm a huge cheese lover) to the point that I had to pull much of it out. Also how much they charge for an extra added topping was a bit overpriced in my opinion. \n\nWe will most likely give this place another try since it is so close to our house, but I think next time we'll stick to trying just their pizza and wings.", "New restaurant in town. This is their third location and the sure have it down. Friendly service, very good food and the portions are huge.

I've gone here post-Katrina. And they give you a lot of food for a very small price. I agree with Smruti S. when she says it's wonderful. This cafe has some really great soul food and needs the support.", "This place is so freaking good. I haven't been to New Orleans in 5 years and I still talk/think about this place. I used to work at Zeitgeist Arts Center (across the street) and ate lunch here all the time.\n\nNot only is the food delicious, you are also contributing to the community it's so great. After Katrina, I called all of my friends to see if they were ok and then the next question I asked is, how is Cafe Reconcile! I love it that much.\n\nThe crawfish bisque and the gumbo where my everyday favorites. Followed by their daily changing menu of pork chops, fried chicken, catfish and po'boys. I always ended my meal with the the Banana Foster's Bread Pudding. I have been to a lot of restaurants in the U.S. and this is by far one of the best.\n\nI recommend it to anyone visiting or living in New Orleans, not to mention it's dirt cheap!!!!\n\nDownside: It's only open 'till 2pm. Get there at 11:30 to beat the lunch crowd.", "Located between downtown and the Garden District, Cafe Reconcile is a great lunch place that happens to also be a good cause. We came on Monday, so red beans and rice it was, and while we weren't bowled over by the food, our meal was a solid meat-and-two, plus drinks, for less than $8 a person. The waiters dress up, which is a little out of sync with the rest of the decor, but still a recommended experience for anyone wishing to get out of downtown without going too far.", "Heard about the concept of this resturant and thought it was really terrific. If you're looking for a good old fashion southern meal come here. Simple, easy and the food is real good. I had a veggie plate with Mac & Cheese (very yummy in my tummy) some collard greens, sweet corn and mashed sweet potatoes. They have good southern meats like fried chicken, catfish, meatloaf, bbq too.", "Not open for breakfast or dinner, only for lunch it seems.(11 - 3) At night the neighborhood is badly lit and seems very \"edgy.\" Not for the fainthearted. Have not had the opportunity to try it out as went there for dinner only to find it closed.", "It's hard to find Cafe Reconcile with its doors open, since it is only open for lunch on weekdays, but this innovative program/restaurant is worth a trip into Central City, my favorite New Orleans neighborhood. Central City has a rich and fascinating civil rights history. During segregation, Oretha Castle Haley Blvd, the main drag where Cafe Reconcile is located, was the Canal Street of black New Orleans. Now, OC Haley is making a come back. Cafe Reconcile is leading the charge. Delicious Southern cooking, I love the collard greens and fried chicken, and a program to get vulnerable youth off the streets. Youth in New Orleans, and especially Central City, have had it rough since Katrina. Violence is at an all time high and there are very few options for jobs as these kids look at a bleak future. Cafe Reconcile is creates an alternative community, another family, for kids. So, tip big. Stop by Ashe Cultural Arts Center, across the street, when you are in the area.", "Decided to get out of the office with the other broads and decided to head over to the other side of the I-10 to Cafe Reconcile.\n\nBe careful with parking because it's off-street and there is a parking lot but there's a sign that says it's a private parking lot and you will be towed if you do not have any business with the owner of the lot. The driver parked there nevertheless.\n\nIf you are coming from the CBD, it's on your right hand side. It's in an area that I would not normally venture through at night if I had to go through there. Fortunately Cafe Reconcile only opens up for lunch. \n\nThe cafe is clean and tidy. The dining area is open and all the cooking goes on right there on the side of the restaurant. We didnt have to wait for seating as a gentleman greeted us and seated us right away.\n\nServers made sure to check on us and I detected no attitude which is a breath of fresh air for me. \n\nThere are no apps, but there are daily specials. \n\nAfter we ordered, we were brought slices of french bread with butter. \n\nI ordered the fried catfish with collard greens and mashed sweet potato. It was good. They are not stingy with the sides and it came with one catfish--the plate was was 7.99. It was kinda expecting 2 fish was that's ok, considering the money made goes to this non-prof employing at risk individuals and giving them a chance when others wont employ them.\n\nOne of my dining partner had the shrimp etouffee which came with a beautiful salad. Yes it's iceberg lettuce but with cucumbers and tomatoes. \n\nI felt good eating there knowing that I was participating in a good cause by dining there. It felt good to be sitting in the establishment and the food was good. \n\nWhat more can I ask for? \n\nAll 3 of us dined for less than $30, not so bad.\n\nConsider yourself warned about the area already, it's family friendly, not sure if they accept credit because we paid cash. \n\nWell worth the trip to check out the operation and the food.", "Came by after the gym for a quick lunch with fam from out of town. We were seated quickly by the host. We had 2 servers trying to take our order. We ordered, me the baked chicken with 2 sides. The chicken was dry, and I got one of the wrong sides-which would have been OK, but the potatoes were cold. So I called one of my 2 servers back to have them replaced, by something else, that was hot. The place is so cold that you can see the steam come off the plates while they are sitting on the line waiting to be delivered to your table. If they sit there for any period of time (like ours were), the air-conditioner will quickly chill your hot food. So the big deal really is the temperature of the food. Service, well these kids wouldn't do well anywhere else, without formal and proper training, but that OK, that is why this place is here, to help them acquire job skills. We would go back, but perhaps to try the po-boys." ]

[ "Maybe it was because I went here for a wedding rehearsal party, but I wasn't all that impressed with Andrea's. The atmosphere is nice, but the food left me wanting more.\n\nI started with a meat ravioli bolognese, which was pretty decent. The next course was a salad. It seemed, however, that the salad dressing was water rather than anything with flavor. I tried adding oil and vinegar, but it ended up just tasting like watered-down oil and vinegar.\n\nFinally, the main course arrived. I chose the Chicken Parmesean; underneath the chicken was fried eggplant, which was nice. However, the chicken parmesean still could have used a little more flavor.\n\nFor dessert I ordered chocolate mousse (the other option was, and I quote, plain cheesecake). Again, give me some more flavor! I did later find out that the chocolate mousse was sugar-free, so that may have explained some of the missing flavor here.\n\nMaybe if you come to Andrea's for a meal as a regular guest you would have a different experience, but mine lacked the flavor I would have expected.", "Do not EVER go to this restaurant. It is horrible! Granted, I was at a banquet- so I never expect wonderful cuisine under such circumstances, but this food was not edible. I sat at a table of 8 people. We had the choice of Veal or Fish. The Veal was tasteless and was in an undefinable, flavorless \"sauce\" of grease. Also, the veal was hard, yes hard, from (I guess) too long in the deep fryer. The fish that other guests got was also gross. The guests that had the fish said that it had no flavor and was greasy. We all began The meal with a bland soup containing pasta and beans. Next we got wilted salad- in a bland dressing. It was as if the salad has been leftover from the night before. A FIrst for me-- BAD Bread Pudding. How can they mess that up? As I walked to/from the bathroom mid meal, I could see plates of food on the 299 other guests' plates sitting virtually untouched. What a waste of money and food. Andrea should be mortified. The only reason that I am giving this place 1 star is because parking was easy.", "We came in on our on, but were talked into a 3 course 25th anniversary special. Service was very slow, though the restaurant was not packed. The fried calamari were heavily overbreaded and tasteless, with a dipping sauce that was little more than Campbell's tomato soup. The salad Andrea, which on the menu claimed artichoke hearts and avacado, had neither. The house red was more vinegar than wine, a $5 wine from Rouse's would be much better. The white was better. Spaghetti & meatballs (what was I thinking?) were in a sauce as lacking as the earlier dip, a few fresh herbs would help. My wife's shrimp linguini was also uninteresting. Service quality picked up. The desserts (bread pudding and chocolate mousse) were excellent! $70, outstanding for a good meal, but depressing for an evening ruiner. The chef came around, warmly asking questions (before dessert). He determinely blamed the service (not bad, overall), and responded not at all to the main point. We were then swarmed by solicitous waiters offering (non-complimentarty) drinks and desserts.!", "I've had to endure numerous business lunches here. When you walk in, you are greeted to a wall of awards, Andrea's cook books, and celebrity autographs. Because there are a limited number of Italian restaurants in the metro area, I really had high hopes for this place once upon a time. Perhaps the self-congratulatory wall set my hopes unreasonably high. As you pass by the wall again on your way out, you will most likely conclude that perhaps this restaurant has seen better days. \n\nClientele: Old to ancient. Business people. \nService: Hit or miss. Slow to inattentive. Pretty much guaranteed to serve your plate to the person sitting next to you.\nFood: Simply not impressive. \n\nIf this is one of the best Italians restaurants the metro area has to offer, it surely is disappointing for this NJ transplant. \n\nIn short, the two-star rating says it all, \"Meh. I've experienced better.\" I have only been for lunch and would not consider going for dinner.", "Andrea's has been a favorite of mine for years. My most recent meal there was at a fundraising luncheon, and even though everything was pre-set for the guests, it all tasted wonderful. The service was good, and the chocolate mousse is still outstanding.", "A privately owned Olive Garden quality restaurant with tacky old world Italian style. The food is nothing special but it's not bad. It's just not that great either.\n\nHighlights are the copious use of cheese on the lasagna to cover up for a lack of flavor. Fine by me: I like cheese! I really enjoyed the bread pudding and sauce! It was very sweet and custardy but the sauce had no alcohol flavor. The tea was also nice and strong.\n\nA full bar is available.\n\nI parked on the street. There is a private lot as well.", "How on this good earth does this place get rated so highly in rankings like Gambit's \"Best of New Orleans\"? The diner's equivalent of the Stockholm Syndrome maybe?\n\nI was invited to an event there for a group of 20. The first impressions were quite good: tables all filled, lively chatter in the air, and the namesake himself gliding about greeting everyone personally.\n\nThen the evening had to be ruined by the, eh, trivial matter of the food and the service.\n\nIn hindsight it should have been obvious from the moment Andrea shook my hand and I felt how delicate and pillowy, like a puff of cotton candy, his hand was that the food was going to be a disappointment. Despite the full chef's regalia this man hadn't done any serious work in the kitchen in years.\n\nAs the orders were being taken around the table the waiter kept recommending a \"special\" filet mignon. I decided to take his word that it was one of Chef Andrea's best creations. Now, I know the sometime dirty secret of restaurant \"specials of the day,\" but when this dish arrived I blinked a few times. The filet was miniscule. With no exaggeration it was a tad over 2\" in diameter and 1\" high, and it had an unappetizing grayish pallor. For a brief moment I thought I'd mistakenly been served a scallop. Of course, portion size and appearance can be trumped by flavor and texture (think frog legs or squab), but as soon as I began cutting, with the steak knife I twice reminded the waiter to bring, I knew I would be chewing on meat that had been frozen stiff since the woolly mammoth era.\n\nAlso, for a place that's thrived for years on as unimaginative a menu as Andrea's has, the kitchen should at least have the sequencing down pat. But the main courses came out at different times, with two diners receiving their entrees while everyone else had begun pushing aside their remnants (and there were plenty of the remnants). Despite their offering apologies about being short-staffed in the kitchen that night, such a failure in service is totally inexcusable at their price point. \n\nI didn't have to pay for my meal, mercifully, but I felt bad for the folks who invited me. It must've been a $1,000 tab, and as we all said our good-byes not one guest complimented them on their choice of restaurant.", "We went here for a special occasions and to be honest I expected a bit more. It is good, not great italian food. We started with calamari which basic breading really underwhelmed. I ordered the Veal piccata for an entree and it was bland to say the least. At the time we werent living in NOLA and we ordered cannelloni to go which turned out to be the better meal. I don't think I would go back because there are too many other good Italian places to go in metry", "We were going to dine here as a family when in the New Orleans area for a sporting event. Four adults and two children. We were seated in a back dining room and totally forgotten. We were served bread and water. An hour later, our appetizers had not arrived and our orders for dinner had not been taken. We had been totally forgotten and ignored. Our children were well-behaved and we tried to be patient. After an hour, we left $20 on the table for the bread and drinks and moved on. It was late so we settled for drive-thru sandwiches and returned to our hotel. Don't let the fancy trappings fool you!", "Middle of the road, Metairie, Italian, slightly overpriced.They do some good things, but nothing super creative.

Real Turkey, real mashed potatoes and edible stuffing. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable.", "Delaware is great for lots of things like beaches and tax free shopping, but sometimes finding an establishment worthy of our discerning palates can be difficult. I'm not a fan of chains, I will do whatever possible not to eat in them. Seriously, life is too short. \n\nMy mother is an early bird kinda gal, she goes to bed bad 9, so she eats dinner early. By the time we go to New Castle she was ready for dinner. Our pickings were slim and they were grim too. Arby's had the highest ratings on yelp! \n\nWe drove past Arner's and then we turned around and took a chance. The parking lot was pretty full, which we generally take to be a positive sign. The specials were also pretty great too. So, we took the leap. \n\nFor the third night in a row I was jealous of my mom. Her pork and sauerkraut was amazing. They must have been braising this pork for days. It was buttery and paper thin mixed in with sauerkraut and a bit of grated apple. I could have done without the apple. I love the piquant-ness of sauerkraut. Her dinner was served with a heaping portion of yukon mashed potatoes that were most definitely homemade! I had batter dipped cod, which was pretty excellent. It was not soggy at all and better than a lot of cod I've had elsewhere. The baked potato was meh, I was envious of the mashed potatoes. \n\nI forgot to mention the salad bar, it was a well maintained old school salad bar. Plates kept in a chiller, tons of mayonnaise-ladden salads. I liked the coleslaw but didn't try the rest. My mother has made me a neurotic mess about mayonnaise salads left out. The beets were vinegary and lovely. My mother said the apple butter was either homemade or from an excellent purveyor. \n\nOur entrees also came with dessert, bread pudding, rice pudding or ice cream. Our waitress was a sweet older woman who mentioned both the puddings had raisins which is just adorable. Because ten years ago I would have been like ewww I have to pick out raisins! She also packed them for us to go because we had no room. You have two plates of salad and then enough food for six people comes out and your full. \n\nThen the bill comes two dinners, with salad bar a starch and dessert for 19 bucks? I think were in a time warp. \n\nAs I was paying the bill, I was eyeing up the counter. A glass display of mile high pies and cakes. This little darling girl in front of me, maybe all of 9 years old tells me ,\"See that strawberry pie back there? It's realllllll good.\" Seriously a zillion kinds of pies. Some of them a foot tall! \n\nIf you are hungry and in New Castle stop in.", "Good pie. We went to Arner's for pie...and we were not disappointed. Their fruit pies are all made with fruit compote, so we opted for mile high cream pies. We sampled three: chocolate oreo, coconut cream and banana cream. They reminded us of the delicious cream pies we ate at the Pine Lodge near Bryce Canyon. The owner, Aunt Ethel, does not have to worry. These pies are not as good as hers, but we gave the chocolate and the banana solid 7s. The coconut cream rated a 6, due to not enough coconut pieces in the pie.", "There must not be enough Yelpers in Delaware. I mean, this place has been around for a long time, and only 3 reviews? What am I missing?\n\nI've been meaning to come here for years after seeing news stories about it a while back about being the place where all the local politicians eat. But being a Delco guy, I just don't drive down to New Castle that often, and wasn't willing to make the trip just for this place. But, since I happened to be in the area, I was able to finally make my stop at 8pm this past Saturday. \n\nI'll give the dinner food this basic rundown. It has plenty of choices, what you'd expect from a diner. The salad bar was a nice touch for the price, and I seemed to be in the mood for the pasta and potato salads (I did enjoy the tuna pasta salad very much). I got the turkey platter, and got exactly what you'd expect from a diner turkey platter. Literally, it tasted like the ones I've had all over the area, drenched in gravy. I don't consider this a bad thing. It was plenty of food and good enough. \n\nBut... that pie! Good Lord, that pie! Hearing so much about it, I had to sample a piece. I decided on banana cream since they were out of their famous strawberry pie. Now, this is the first time I will say this about pie in my life. I actually wish it had more crust. Whatever they do to that crust, the combo of a good crusty bite with the creaminess of the banana filling just makes for sheer perfection. I'd now drive to New Castle just for some pie and coffee if I could. \n\nI'd say the food is around 3 1/2 stars, but that pie is 5 star quality all the way!", "This place is a New Castle institution. I've been coming here for great meals since the mid seventies. \nWeekend breakfasts are always busy, what does that tell you ? Great Food....\n\nThis is the GO TO PLACE for the BEST cakes and pies in the state of Delaware. Wonderful Boston cream and Banana Cream Pies !", "I ordered their coconut custard pie; I have to say I was very disappointed because it looks so good. The pie tasted more like eggs and coconut. The custard just was not very good. I actually returned it and got lemon merengue which was a little better. I'm not sure if I'll go back again", "I took the wife out last night for dinner. We stood up front waiting to be seated. Once we got seated they took our drink order the wife decided that she would get a Malibu bay breeze which was made well. We ordered an Appetizer combo of chicken fingers Mozzarella sticks and potato skins. The potato skins were horrible and you could tell we're heated in the microwave. We never got the bbq sauce that we asked for with the chicken. When our entree came out my chicken was terrible. The wife's steak was terrible and had a ton of fat on it. We did get desert and my wife said that the cheesecake was incredible and the mile high Boston cream pie was great. All and all the floor was dirty and the food was terrible minus desert.", "Had breakfast there this morning. Big mistake! We were seated and ordered right away and 40 minutes later the simple egg breakfast came out. It was ice cold and the toast was cold and mushy and not buttered. Guess it must have been sitting awhile waiting to be delivered. I have given this place a few chances before deciding never to go again. But this was the last time. And the price was $16 for my husband and myself. We each had two eggs, I had bacon and he had scrapple. We did not want potatoes and got the cold tasteless things anyhow. To expensive and done with them.", "If I lived close by, I would systematical try every one of their pies. Standing in the front, waiting for a table, I just stared at all of the pies. I was very tempted to just say \"the hell with it\" and order a slice of each. \n\nHowever, I am not 7 years old, so I ordered breakfast like a big boy. I got a breakfast scrambler type thing with potatoes in it. It was good, though needed a bit of pepper. \n\nI also ordered a slice of lemon meringue pie. Very good, one of the best that I've had that wasn't homemade. \n\nService was very friendly, and fast enough, even though it was a busy Sunday morning. \n\nAll in all, a better diner than most, and it isn't even in New Jersey.

The service was great and prices seemed appropriate for amount and quality of the food. Overall a great restaurant. We will go again.", "Tried this new spot in Doylestown last night. Cute place, nice updates to the restaurant. Service was excellent, other than that, the place was a disappointment. Food was really bad, grape leaves and hummus almost inedible. Beef kabab was both well done and rare. Host was super nice but unless the food improves, this place won't last long.", "We loved it. 2nd time. Food fresh and yummy. Great price and BYOB. Ask about the baklava. Yummy gyros and fresh veg. Going back soon.", "This was my first time trying Blú, and we began our meal with 2 appetizers, the spanakopita and falafel. The spanakopita was delicious, with a balanced filling and crispy phyllo. The falafel was also good, with a nice crunchy outer layer. \nFor entrees, I had the chicken gyro, and substituted seasonal vegetables for the regular side of fries. The 2 other people with me had the lamb gyro and the kefta (daily special). My gyro was fantastic, filled with flavorful chicken and tzatziki, along with lettuce and tomato. The pita was fresh, and the meal was a fair price for the portion. \nFor dessert, we had a baklava sampling plate. The plate consisted of semolina cake, walnut baklava, sweet cheese-stuffed baklava, and a baklava with an outer coating of shredded phyllo. The assortment was wonderful, and the walnut baklava was our favorite.\nBlú is a fantastic spot to find delicious, well-priced Mediterranean food. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the decor is carefully tailored to fit the Mediterranean theme. Guests are made to feel welcome, and it is an excellent dining experience. I will definitely be returning soon.", "This is a new, no frills, A-OK, Greek/Mediterranean B.Y.O.B spot in Doylestown. Came in with a group last night and was greeted with friendly and quick service. The menu is a little basic, but if you love the standard hummus/grape leaves/tabbouleh/gyro type of menu, then this is a stop for you, because that's basically all it is menu-wise. You can order a appetizer plate of all the fixings, which we chose to do before our entrees, and it was probably my favorite part of the meal. It comes with the standard homemade pita, which was very good. They also bring out some bread (not the greatest, but not bad either) and a lovely dipping sauce which was olive oil based mixed with some red peppers and herbs. \n\nI had the lamb gyro for an entree, but I have to say, it was good not great. I've had better gyro's elsewhere, and even with the homemade pita, I just wasn't crazy about it. I think the pita was a little too big for the sandwich, there was too much tzatziki (which I never thought I would say) and the lamb was a little dry. All easy fixes that could improve reviews for this new spot. \n\nWorth a stop if you're town and craving Mediterranean cuisine. Just not a crazy \"wow\" joint.", "Very accommodating and nice. The food was delicious and the restaurant was packed on a Friday night. This is a BYOB and we can't wait to go back and try more on the menu.", "Went here for lunch. Prompt and friendly service, food was very good and fresh. One person had the chicken gyro and two of us shared soup, salad, and 5 of the 8 traditional foods, all of which were delicious. Will definitely go back", "Top notch. Great service. Great food. Small little cozy joint. Had the falafel, tabbouleh, lamb and chicken gyro. 10/10 will come again. Also BYOB", "This new Tunisian-based BYO is a complete makeover of the Thai operation formerly here. The new decor is awash in soft, light blue (what else?) executed with exceptional taste. The overall effect is delightfully romantic, especially for Doylestown, which can use something \"date night\" like this even though the mellow vibe was diminished by a bright sconce light over our table.\n\nThe owners are obviously anxious to please, and could hardly do more to make folks feel welcome. We were warmly greeted, well taken care of throughout, and even given a complimentary after-dinner degustation.\n\nOur appetizers -- octopus and a meatball special -- were absolutely spectacular, fully worthy of a great restaurant. The latter was spicy in the best sense, with heat used to enhance flavor using a delectable mix of herbs and spices from the owner's mother in Tunisia.\n\nWere the meal to end there, Blu would qualify for a major detour and a solid five stars. Alas, the warhorse mains -- lamb couscous and moussaka -- were ordinare, albeit using superior quality lamb and other ingredients. Couscous was too dry and lacking in flavor complexity, while moussaka came off as little more than pleasant comfort food. If you want worthy moussaka hereabouts, try someplace like Philly's Estia.\n\nThe dessert of superior baklava and dates fared much better except for tiny portion size. If you're more than a nibbler, you're better off walking down the block to excellent Nina's or even Nonno's.\n\nThe owner has had long experience as a chef, and given the investment he's made appears to be playing it safe and predictable with menu offerings. Yet, he obviously has talent worthy of much greater things, so in time the main courses may expand to approach the quality and creativity of the apps we enjoyed. In the meantime, best bet is probably to steer clear of predictable menu choices and spring instead for the specials.\n\nWorth mentioning is how clean this place is, and not only to the eye. We noticed that when a table was cleared off where a family with children had been, the floor area around that table was also wiped down.\n\nWe got out for under $45/person, plus tip and wine.", "Omg absolutely nothing bad to say here. It is a small, cozy spot so I def recommend making reservations. Decor is beautiful. Great homemade Mediterranean with Greek, Tunisian, and Italian flavors. Love the BYOB. \n\nArrived on a busy Saturday night, party of 3, we shared the duck ragu over house made gnocchi, and saganaki cheese appetizer. Absolutely delicious!! Mouth drooling. Also served with bread and housemade tomato pesto, YUM. For entrees we got the moussaka, lamb kabob, and lamb couscous. Best moussaka I ever had- def recommend for a classic!! Lamb kabobs were great portions with tender lamb meat served over herbaceous rice and veges. Lamb couscous was a bit gamier in flavor, very tender- the couscous, light and delicious. Had plenty for leftovers. Finished the night with housemade walnut baklava, not too sweet, great ending to the dinner\n\nGreat service by the lovely couple owners, SO friendly, felt like I was in their home- the chef in the back deserves all compliments.

My boyfriend and I follow the Keto diet and this place has lots of tantalizing options! Make sure to try the Guacamole with Bacon Chips!! The bacon just melts in your mouth. The Angry Shrimp is equally delicious. I could eat those cauliflower grits every single day! They are so creamy and Keto/Paleo approved!! The ambiance is cozy and inviting as well. Perfect for date night or a quick bite!", "This is a great concept that fills a void in the downtown food scene. It is awesome to have a healthy option to eat out even when on more restrictive diet plans. Not only do they offer paleo, keto, whole 30 and vegan options, but also a full bar (kombucha cocktail anyone?) so you can still have fun while eating healthy. \n\nWhile the concept is great, they are still lacking in execution. It is a rather large space for a place called \"Nook\" and doesn't seem like they have sufficient staff to meet demands on busier nights, which is problematic as most people would be grabbing food before an event downtown. It took them 15+ minutes to take our food order and over 45 minutes to get our food out. It seemed like they forgot our order, but it was hard to even flag down a waiter to check on our food. We ended up having to leave because our event was starting. We didn't get to eat and the staff was apologetic and didn't make us pay, but of course my opinion is clouded.\n\nI think I would give them another shot, perhaps on a night when there are no events at BLF or later down the line when they have their act a little more together. I am intrigued by their fresh menu options even though they appear overpriced. Although it was a bad first experience, I would very much like a place that promotes healthy eating out survive downtown. This is a much needed spot in the sea of burger joints, pubs and Hooters type places that pervade the downtown scene.", "Arrived at the restaurant around 6 pm and was greeted by a very friendly hostess. She immediately seated us near the front windows which game is a great view. Our server, Chris, came by the table to introduce himself to our group. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We started off with a \"shot glass\" of olive oil. Very unique but cool. \nI ordered a BBQ pizza that had some of the best damn BBQ sauce this lad has ever had (sweet and a little bit of spice).

We were seated quickly and the service was quick, kind, and knowledgeable. \n\nDinner starts with a complimentary olive oil shot. I was only brave enough to take a few sips. We ordered the sweet potato wedges, paleo cauliflower, angry shrimp, salmon taco, and chocolate avocado mousse. The Brussel sprouts was 5 stars; spicy and generous \"small plate\" portion. The salmon taco was delicious, but non traditional serving (one giant, but extremely juicy, as in dripping, taco). \n\nThe only thing bad didn't hit the mark was the dessert. I would avoid unless you're into nonsweet and bland avocado flavored chocolate pudding. I convinced myself this was a healthy dessert and I didn't \"waste\" the calories. \n\nAn expansion to the dessert and drink menu of this place would be a huge improvement.

All the dishes were prepared with quality ingredients and a TON of flavor. THe Brussels sprouts, lamb taco and curry chicken were to die for!

While we can normally find a way to make a regular menu work for us, it's nice to find a menu that really does work without modifications. The shot of olive oil is a nice touch. The wait staff are more than happy to discuss the food and assist with any questions. Great restaurant, looking forward to my next visit!", "Great new restaurant! Very refreshing to have a high quality, yet down-home place downtown. They have done a great job building a menu that is both good for your health and good for your palate. If you want to be decadent, go ahead, but if you have a need for special diets, plenty here, or, mix and match.\n\nThe cocktail program has promise as well.

The Rainbow Ice and Bubble Tea are all good as well.\n\nThe broth here is the key - it has the most flavor with very little oil/fat. Portions are typical for Pho spots along Washington, so you won't be disappointed.\n\nWith several places to grab a decent bowl of Pho along Washington, it's the service, cleanliness, and of course food quality that puts this restaurant a step above the rest.\n\nDue to being fairly new to the neighborhood, this place is never packed and the restaurant itself is very large for a Pho house. Please support this restaurant to make sure it sticks around for a long time!!\n\nThey also accept credit cards with no minimum limit, which some of the smaller joints do not and they are open everyday till Midnight!!!!", "As pho goes, the stuff at this place is pretty darn good. I admit, I'm a bit of a picky eater so I ordered mine dressed down, but the broth was still warm and flavorful and the thinly-sliced steak perfectly pink in the center when the huge bowl arrived at our table. My girlfriend ordered shrimp and crab rolls that looked so good I helped myself to one. Packed with seafood and few pesky veggies (I hate the green stuff) and fried to a golden crisp, they were the perfect accompaniment to the slithery rice noodles. The hostess saw I was struggling to eat the noodles with chopsticks and hurried over with a fork, saving me the embarrassment of asking for one. (I do know how to use chopsticks, but just can't seem to master the art of eating slippery pho noodles with 'em.) My favorite part of the meal was the mango bubble tea. At least, I ordered mango bubble tea. What I got was more like a smoothie, thick and creamy and obviously freshly made. Though it had chewy tapioca balls in the bottom, I wouldn't call this bubble tea. I would, however, call it delicious. If Pho Hoa was open in the morning, I'd get one on the way to work for breakfast every day.", "like a true viet, i know my pho. it's the phood of my people! i come here with my family and if it can pass my parents' picky palette, then you all know this place is banging. \ni order the chicken pho. i ask for it with white meat. the broth is flavorful, hot, and filled to the brim and i get to add all the garnish. mint, beansprouts. limes. don't forget to add the squeeze of lime. i let my lime swim in my soup. hotsauce. hoisin sauce. more hot sauce. the beef pho is also good. the lunch specials seem to go fast, so if you want the special, get there early. \norder the chicken pho, get the bubble coffee, and for an appetizer, while they still have it, get the fresh/summer spring rolls with crab and shrimp! it is light and perfect for the spring days to come. also, end it with a fresh lime soda. ask for the fresh lime and they will add the carbonated soda.\nthe waiters are nice, the hostess all smiles, my family and i come here to eat pho, talk, get the vietnamese newspapers and eat an authentic vietnamese meal without cooking it ourselves! quality family time. quality pho.", "I've only been here once so I can't write much but it was a nice change to the Chinese noddle soups I am so used to. [Pagoda anyone?]\n\nThe waiter was super friendly and they even made me a bowl with tofu, which I didn't notice on the menu. Free tea and two bowls of Pho cost us only eleven dollars or so and we were full 'till the next day.\n\nIt's a fun place with a mixed environment of locals and college students looking for a cheap meal.\n\nCan't wait to go back so I can write more.\n\n________________________________________________\nUpdate:\nSo after a day of feeling not-so-well we headed to Pho Ha on our way home from work for something filling and that would settle my stomach. \n\nI had the intention of ordering some soup but found the rice noodle bowls more appealing to my senses. I surprised myself by ordering meat for a change and I was in no way disappointed. The spring roll appetizer with shrimp and mint was even more of a delight, especially paired with my fresh limeade soda from the juice bar. Divine! There's nothing like a homemade soda on a hot afternoon. \n\nThe portions as usual were enormous for my tiny stomach so I would up taking a plate home for the evening, a plate I wound up sharing with our dog and one of our kittens who kept ogling the tender strips of pork. No worries, though, there was plenty to go around!", "A new place to the back of Chinatown, still a lovely portion and quick to serve. While it has less meat than some places, everything was piping hot, as opposed to only regular hot compared to some other places.\n\nAnd my table also enjoyed the spring rolls, and the place was cleaner than most in the area, which is a definite point in their favor.", "I guess I was really expecting an amazing experience because my friends eat here all the time and have hyped it up so much. I wasn't really super thrilled with Pho Hoa any more than I was let down. I ordered a big bowl of the chicken noodle Pho (which for those not in the know is a noodle soup.) I guess what let me down the most was how SPARSE the dish was: literally just some sliced chicken, noodles, scallions and broth. They do provide a plate of bean sprouts and basil for the table to break up and add to their dishes, but I guess I was just hoping for more. It was tasty but kind of boring.\n\nIronically my biggest gripe is the small selection of choices, especially starters; but my favourite part of the meal was my own starter, a fried tofu encrusted with cheese. Totally delish!", "So far, the best pho I've had in Philly. In general I avoid Pho Hoa like the plague. They are an international chain and I've had them in many cities in the US and Asia. In general, the pho is mediocre or bad. But today it was pouring and I was parked in front of the restaurant, so what else is there to do but go in? Anyway, I was surprised. Compared to Pho 75 and Pho Xe Lua, I liked it. The broth was more complex (e.g. had more spices which are associated with the south, but that I also prefer). The ve don was intermediate (it was best at Pho 75 and worst at Pho Xe Lua). I often think that the quality of the ve don is a good indicator of the pho in general. I prefer the crispy ve don with the texture of cartilage to the beefy/fatty kind. As the broth and ve don is very different between restaurants, while other ingredients are more similar, I take these to be very significant.", "Look for Thien the friendliest dude here...the staff are courteous and there beside you on a wave of a hand. They have great Pho compared to Pho 75 and have a great new menu that really makes them more than just a Pho place. The Fried Rice is the best its a meal in itself and the spring rolls never fail to delight your glum summer day. The Pho Hoa soups and noodles are there to refresh you and indeed cleans your system. Yes the restrooms have that newly cleaned scent to it . order a YANG CHOW fried rice a Number 24 and the Number 5 or 6 and get a coconut juice to wash it down the hatch.", "Went back to Pho Hoa and brought a whole posse with me , We were about 20 all in all with kids tagged along . We had a great time food was great as usual the spring rolls divine and the service flawless. We had a number of going back and forth with what order was made but they were really patient with us. Every staff was on the dot waiting for your whim, they can even read your eyes sensing you need something (psychic). \nPS. saw the Yelp sticker on the front door........", "Had the chicken pho - it was good, my husband enjoyed that way more than i did. Smelled really good though, and had some light spices we couldn't quite figure out. \n\nI had the chicken fried rice (I'm so adventurous!).

Good drunk food and the people behind the counter are generally nice. It is a little pricey for what it is...a dozen shrimp with fries costs close to $20.

If the greasy food doesn't kill you someone lurking in the neighborhood just may.\nBefore going you should practice standing around and looking tough so no one messes with you.

Sometimes my father, who was African American, just had to flee the scene to get a taste of his childhood. This meant that we'd often make our way down Broad Street to Sid Booker's. If you can get past the bullet-proof screen and the little lazy-susan they use to take in cash and serve up fried goodies, I recommend you stop by once in your life.\n\nOh, this place may be in what you consider the \"ghetto\" but it ain't cheap (honestly, if it were cheap, I'd be concerned about the ingredients they were using) so hit the ATM first. I don't really love shrimp, but I do adore Sid Booker's fried version. Large, plump, tender, and with a crisp batter that will make your arteries weep. We'd take our foil wrapped bundles home and have a little feast as if we were in Richmond with the family and not in Elkins Park. The ladies there are always kind, but they do a brisk business at certain times of day so don't expect a whole lot of chit chat.\n\nNote: This is take-out only and you're going to have to wait on the corner or in your car for a bit while they get your order ready. Contrary to El S.' review, I don't think you're likely to get taken down in a drive-by here as there are usually lots of folks. But like any denizen of a city, I wouldn't be hoppin' in the car for shrimp at 11pm if I wasn't a card-carrying member of that particular 'hood.", "Great fried shrimp. Nothing revolutionary...just excellent quality, huge prawns with great batter. High in price but worth it. Four stars instead of five because the two sides (mac salad and cole slaw) are not that great and they don't have drinks which makes this a very thirsty experience if you eat on the hood of your car, so make sure to bring drinks before you come here.

Second, the service... it's as if they WANTED a bad review.\n\nWe ordered two entrees (two people), but when the server brought us the food, she said they \"ran out\" of the other entree. (How?! They just opened 3 hours earlier and were not that busy. Lol). Instead of apologizing and bring the menu over, she said non-chalently \"If you want more food, I can bring the menu over.\" Again, lol. It was comically bad form. There were a host of other service issues not worth mentioning.\n\nTo top it off, perhaps the first time ever, I asked to speak with a manager (young guy) before leaving. After recounting the above events, he said, also non-chalently, that they just opened and that no amount of preparation is enough.

Give it some some time to find its feet and enjoy. PS Chef Todd is a 2 times James Beard award a nominee so he knows his stuff!", "We went with friends (party of 4) with great anticipation. Unfortunately Suegra fell flat on this first try. It took way too long to have anyone give us eye contact at the mostly empty bar - let alone get a drink. I ordered a house Margarita and the bartender rattled off something unintelligible that ended in Patron. Shame on me for not asking if that was the house Margarita, but i said, \"Sure\" and what would have been a $10 drink was suddenly $15! I won't let that happen again. We were seated in a timely manner and took our time ordering. The house chips and the trio of dips they came with were superb, especially the black bean dip.\nWhen we did order it was apparently the very same time the rest of the world was ordering and it sent the kitchen into a tailspin. At least we received apologies and more chips while we waited...and waited.\nThe food came and the first thing I noticed ( having been in the restaurant biz for 40 years) was the presentation. My entree Tamale came on a side plate (7\") and nothing else on the plate. Note to Chef Todd: You know how this works, put it on a bigger plate and add some relevant garnish (cilantro sprig, lime quarters, something!). Sorry I didn't take any pictures, but everyone else at our table had the tacos of one kind or another - all were good but all said \"hard to eat\". My wife had asked for extra cilantro (the description said it included cilantro) but hers came with NO cilantro at all. By the time anyone came around to check on us, she went ahead and ate them.\nSorry, but two tacos for $17, an $11 tamale all with no garnish or flair, coupled with overwhelmed wait staff, we'll wait to go back when they get it together.\nBy the way, the place wasn't packed, just in case you might be thinking that was the reason. There were a LOT of empty tables.\nBeautiful restaurant, excellent food (although maybe a bit pricey for Oldsmar), but not quite ready for prime time.", "Tried to eat there tonight. I was turned away because I didn't have reservations. So was a party of 4 that arrived right after me. It wasn't overly crowded. Disappointed.", "I can follow a common theme with other reviewers about spotty service. We sat outside and were greeted promptly. It was down hill from there. \n\nThey have a truly amazing tequila list, which includes maybe 50 mezcal offerings as well. I thought this was very cool, as mezcal is still not particularly prevalent. The bartender that waited on us in the outside patio helped me pick a mezcal and it was fantastic. My girlfriend ordered a delicious spicy tequila cocktail called En Fuego, it was perfect!\n\nThe chips came with the aforementioned trio that included red/green salsa & warm bean dip. All three were great, but the bean dip is the star. I could eat tacos/enchiladas/tamales filled with that stuff!\n\nWe ordered food, which was not cheap, and common to another reviewer I found the plain presentation with no garnish or anything at all on the plate other than 3 enchiladas to be a bit lackluster. The enchiladas were good and they serve rice and more of the delicious bean dip in separate covered bowls along with your entree.\n\nWe had asked for water on one occasion when the bartender stopped by to check on us & it never arrived. Once our drinks were empty & our food arrived we were left with nothing to drink at all on the table. Forcing me to get up and chase down the bartender to ask for the waters for a second time and to place an order for another round of drinks. I do not appreciate having to get up and chase down my server to place a drink order, especially when we had already asked for water and you had stopped by 3 times earlier when we weren't ready for you. When the second round of drinks arrived they were not up to the standard of the first round. My girlfriend's En Fuego did not taste the same as the first one, this one was much sweeter. My Paloma, a standard classic Mexican cocktail, was also far too sweet.\n\nI was amazed by the tequila/mezcal list, lured in by the fantastic bean dip and initial cocktail, then disappointed by the inconsistency in service, drink execution, and lackluster presentation.\n\nThey have a good product. Their food and drinks are good to great. If they get more consistent with the execution and spruce up their presentation they should truly thrive, as the location of City Fish was already a thriving restaurant.", "Suegra introduces white cloth Mexican good to the Oldsmar/NW Tampa food scene & we weren't disappointed.

We added queso fundido with chorizo and a couple of margaritas to round out the first course. All a nice step up from the standard Mexican offerings. I wish they used a little less ice in the Margaritas, though. For the main course, I had mole salmon which was an unexpected yet delicious pairing, and my wife had grouper pablano, also tasty! \n\nThe decor was open & cool.

Hubbie had the duck tacos and I had the green corn tamale. I enjoyed both my choices but my husband thought his were mediocre. So, food was decent, drinks were fine. The waitstaff needs work!

I had a chance to try out brunch earlier on, a delightful way to spend a Saturday and a visit to the new co-working space, The Mosaic Centre.\n\nBrunch is a rarity for me, the accomplishment of household chores, diddly-daddling, coffee sipping and Joe's sleepy nature all contributing factors as to why we're never ready to leave the house before 11am. It's around that time that we're hungry, ready to venture into the downtown area or Chinatown to grab a quick lunch. Something about that Saturday morning though prompted me to go to The Workshop Eatery to try their brunch menu though. It's called Ikea. Despite Joe's protests about Swedish meatballs and soft serve ice creams, I was fixated on a real brunch meal for once.\n\nThe Mosaic Centre is Canada's biggest net-zero building, the commercial co-working space delivering on its promise: beautiful, sustainable, and affordable. For now, it houses The Workshop Eatery, a day care, and numerous spaces for the community to use to innovate and collaborate. The morning we were there, a yoga instructor class was being held in the open stairwell spaces and numerous rooms were being utilized for what looked like a brainstorming meeting. It's a pretty cool space and I'm envious of Summerside for having such a beautiful building!\n\nWorkshop Eatery continues the open concept in their own space, the kitchen and bar barrier-free to diners. I love bright, airy, relaxed spaces! Joe and I were seated closer to the front of the restaurant, a bit further off from the action, although cozy and private for our meal. The mural of farm vegetables around the daily chalkboard was cute and rustic. Also noteworthy: the music. I don't think I've really paid attention to what kind of music a restaurant was playing, but it's been a long time since I've heard good ol' Red Hot Chili Peppers during a meal. I'm a fan.\n\nHeaded by owner and Chef Paul Shufelt, previously Executive Chef of Century Hospitality Group, the brunch menu offers the favourites: an eggs benny, straight up eggs, bacon, hash and toast, three omelette selections and even a Heuvos Benedict. The 'Banana in Pyjamas' stood out on the menu because the thought of banana bread French toast smeared with Nutella, slivered almonds, and Saskatoon berry compote is enough to make somebody really think about which way to go. Savoury or sweet? Oh my god the decisions.\n\nJoe was lost without his usual noodle soups for lunch, but he went with the 'Vegetable Melt', a mix of spicy tomato jam, roasted Mona mushrooms, red wine braised onions and a creamy herb goat cheese and fresh arugula between local Bon Ton Bakery country sourdough. Loved the sweetness of the tomato jam and I'm always a fan of Mona mushrooms! The dish also came with a choice of the day's soup, salad, or housemade kettle chips. I was secretly hoping Joe would choose the kettle chips but the 'Cream of Winter Mushroom Soup' with truffle oil and chive creme fraiche was a fantastic choice! Served piping hot too. Nothing is more irritating than a room temperature soup.\n\nWhile my head, heart, and stomach debated between ordering a savoury or sweet dish (BANANAS IN PYJAMAS!), I ended up ordering the 'Chorizo & Chedda' Omelette'. Again, the appearance of local farms or producers was a bonus: the eggs from Four Whistle Farms, the chorizo by Irving Farms Fresh (according to our server), all cooked together with aged white cheddar to make a delicious omelette. The potato hash was in its purest form, a slight crisp to the potatoes and the use of fresh bell peppers, onions, and herbs. It was refreshing to see the ingredients being highlighted as they were.\n\nI can happily say that Workshop Eatery delivered on its promise for that weekend: a handcrafted meal highlighting fresh ingredients! Imagine what they can do when summer rolls around and their gardens flourish! Or how about their bee hives on the roof of The Mosaic Centre? I'm anxious to see the space come spring time to see more of the space. It was also nice to see Workshop Eatery as a family-friendly establishment, the table next to us a young family of three. I was a little jealous of the young boy who ordered the 'Bananas in Pyjamas'. He then exclaimed to our server that it was the best thing he ever ate and that they'd come back every day. I knew I should have ordered sweet. Next time.\n\nCongratulations to Chef Paul Shufelt and his team on their grand opening! Although the space is a bit out of reach for me, those in the area are lucky to have The Workshop Eatery! I hope to be back for dinner soon, the menu looks fantastic and to come back for brunch. Fact: their menus actually get updated on their website. Who does that? Love it. And for those wondering about Ikea? We didn't even go. I just needed an excuse to head south for brunch, bahaha!", "Let's bring this down a notch, shall we? While I'm sure this restaurant will do well given it's pretty hard to find a restaurant focusing on local, seasonal food in the deep southeast corridor of Edmonton, this place unfortunately doesn't cut it for me. \n\nTo start, we ordered the Arancini special ($12), which was mushroom with a yogurt dill sauce. The arancini was very dry, and there was maybe a teaspoon of sauce for three Arancini. The server let me know she would've brought me more, but I never thought to ask. \n\nThe pork belly had rave reviews from my friend, and I tried a bit and can confirm it was pretty damn good. For my entree I went with the $24 perogies (for 7). Sadly, the perogies were dry, lacking flavour, and again I was left desiring more sauce. And I'm not even someone who likes a lot of sauce. \n\nFor dessert, I had the croissant bread pudding with pinocchio cinnamon ice-cream ($9). It was decent. My friend ordered the chocolate espresso mousse, and there was something wrong with it. There were white chunks in it, not sure what, server didn't seem to know either. I just assume it wasn't quite mixed properly. The server took care of this though and took it off the bill, although she didn't quite get the message that my friend wanted a different dessert instead.\n\nThe server was pretty great for most of the meal, but for me, the food just didn't do it. And at this price point, I likely won't be back to give it a second try as I have a favourite restaurant already that's in this price point.", "First time here. Lunch with my wife. First impression... Very simple modern set up, staff were very inviting. Not overly busy but I'm certain many don't know this gem exists yet. You will soon I'm sure though. \nJustin greeted us and took drink orders, when they say fresh squeezed grapefruit juice they mean it. Very refreshing but careful the tart will kick in very soon.\nOur lunch consisted of my wife ordering the burger which she had the chips as the side. The burger was delicious from the one bite I tried.\nI decided to try the huevos benedicto and wow! Okay now this may sound like it doesn't belong but replacing an english muffin with corn bread... That was one of the most pleasant taste combinations I've ever stumbled on. The black beans were a delicious addition as well the the amazing hollandaise sauce. The hash was nothing short of heavenly. Overall this might be one of the most creative and fresh takes on eggs benedict. Would I order it again... ABSOLUTELY! My wife said she would highly recommend the burger!", "After ten years as Executive Chef for the Century Hospitality Group, Chef Paul Shufelt decided it was time to start up a restaurant of his own. The Workshop Eatery officially opened a couple weeks ago in The Mosaic Centre, Canada's largest net-zero commercial building. Choosing to open up in a sustainable building definitely poses its challenges, but supporting local producers, sustainability, and using seasonal produce are concepts important to Chef Paul. \n\nThe Workshop Eatery is located in the far south neighborhood of Summerside, which can be a fair drive for many in Edmonton. But once you enter the building you're greeted by an open space and living wall, which shows how unique and beautiful the Mosaic Centre really is. As for the restaurant, you're greeted into a space that is warm, rustic and inviting. I love the open concept and the visibility of the kitchen - there's nothing to hide! \n\nThroughout the different seasons, the menu will consist of roughly 20 staple dishes and a different feature each day. What makes the menu seasonal will be the different accompaniments and sides to a main dish. If you're ever wondering what's on the menu on a particular day, just check the website! It's amazing that they will be updating their online menu daily! \n\nWe started off our meal with a couple of appetizers, first up was the Arancini ($12). The arancini at Workshop changes daily, and the \"New York Deli\" arancini with deli meats, a balsamic tomato smear, and Nefiss Lazizz Olive Oil was the feature for the day. These fried risotto balls had a golden, crisp exterior, and broke open to reveal a creamy mix of risotto, green peas, and small morsels of meat. I personally prefer my arancini to be rich and cheesy, so these arancini didn't quite deliver for me. \n\nNext up came the Chicken Liver Parfait ($11) served in a small mason jar with crostinis made from Bon Ton Bakery's Cranberry Raisin Nut Bread. The liver was whipped with a mousse-like texture and topped with a port and Saskatoon berry jam. It was a perfect balance between sweet and savoury, and I loved the different textures that the crostini added to the mixture.\n\nOur last starter for the meal was the Duck Carpaccio ($17) featuring Moosewood Acres cured duck breast, pickled shiitakes, carrots, daikon, a soy reduction and blood orange vinaigrette. I really enjoyed the fragrant orange paired with the duck, and the tang of the vinaigrette, but found that the dish was much too salty. Typically a carpaccio dish features meat that is extremely thinly sliced or pounded thin, but the duck in this carpaccio was thickly sliced. The thick slice combined with the soy reduction was quite salty, so with some adjustments to the cut and seasoning, I would really enjoy this dish!\n\nJust like the arancini, The Workshop Eatery has a feature dish each evening. On the night of our visit Tangle Ridge Lamb Chops were being served with a butternut squash, corn and bacon hash. The lamb chops were moist and tender, and looked beautiful against the brightly coloured hash. The hash itself was naturally sweet but lacking in smokiness which we expected from the bacon. As it turns out, we didn't find much bacon in the hash either, so that could have accounted for the discrepancy. \n\nFor myself I ordered the Duck Duck Couscous (how fun is that to say?!) ($32) which featured beautifully seared Moosewood Acres duck breast on a bed of warm couscous with raisins, almonds, pickled cherries and vanilla parsnip puree. The duck was cooked to a perfect medium, and the lightly sweet couscous was a great companion to the duck. The parsnip puree was also a delightful addition to the dish, and complemented both components on the plate. Although I love lamb, the duck was definitely the winner for me and I would happily order it again. \n\nWhen it came down to the desserts, I was torn between two options. The panna cotta at The Workshop Eatery is made with the rooftop honey and would have been my first choice, but I couldn't resist the Croissant Bread Pudding ($9). The flaky croissant pieces are paired with white chocolate and cranberry, giving this dessert some tart notes to balance the sweet. Topped with a generous scoop of Pinocchio's cinnamon ice cream, this was a comforting dessert that I would eat again. \n\nTaken as a whole, we had a great dinner at The Workshop Eatery: our dishes were good and the service was attentive. If there's one thing I love about The Workshop Eatery, it's their commitment to sustainability and supporting local producers. Their decision to move into the Mosaic Centre means that the drive to their restaurant is long and far for many patrons, but the principles of the building align with the values of the restaurant. It's great to see so many local farmers mentioned throughout the menu, and I think it will be interesting to see how things shift once the growing season in Edmonton comes around.", "What an excellent evening. Greeted and seated promptly, engaged in conversation, given suggestions and great recommendations.\nVery clean open and bright space. All staff is knowledgable and friendly.\nI've brunched at this restaurant a couple of times, it has been very good.\nTonight I had the arancini as well as the duck for an appetizer. Both were prepared to a gold standard- if anyone makes a poor comment on either dish.....then they have no true education on food or food preparation. \nI had the steak which was cooked to the level I asked, and the flavour was great, along with what I believe to be deep fried Brussels sprouts.....soooo goooood! And then paired with a cheddar style fried potato tot in Sriracha sour cream, it was awesome. \nMy boss had the lamb, I had a bite and the meat was tender and well seasoned. The grains were in a kind of a gravy sauce which was very tasty. \nDessert-we shared the panna cotta and the bread pudding. Both excellent and exploding with flavour. \n I couldn't ask or even think of asking for anything more from the staff or quality of food and preparation tonight. \nIf your looking for a new wiff of excellent cooking this is the place to go! Enjoy.", "Came here for dinner with a group of 6 friends. Good amount of selection on the menu; half of us had a hard time choosing what to eat as almost everything on the menu sounded quite appealing. Food was serviced in a timely manner and everything tasted great. The main reason I rate this restaurant a 3/5 is due to the service we received from our waiter. We found tonight's waiter to have been rude. Pushy with drinks- he repeatedly asked us if we wanted cocktails or anything from the drink menu and when we politely declined we ended up getting attitude and sarcastic remarks. Not sure if this is a trend with all their staff but same thing happened on another visit for brunch (although the waiter was much nicer). Wasn't helpful with the menu when questioned about certain dishes tonight. When asked about the pickerel he said it was \"just like any white fish\". When we asked for the tab to be separated he said it was already done based on our seating, yet he provided us with one big bill. When approached to remedy this he ended up giving us attitude. As much as I enjoy the food here the service we received tonight was a huge turn off and makes me hesitant to return anytime soon. If do, I really hope I'm not sitting in this waiter's section." ]

Cool that she and co-owner Chris got the jump on Korean tacos over their neighbors across Franklin road. Soy Teriyaki Bistro selections are hearty and affordable, most under $10. Traditional marinated teriyaki and rice are the featured foods, but the tacos are worth a taste.", "Excellent food, love the shrimp and chicken tacos! Ultra modern ambiance with a staff that truly loves making customers smile! This restaurant has something for everyone, from succulent low carb salads, to the best yakitori this side of Asia. In fact their daily specials have become a wonderful addition to my dining plans! An excellent choice!", "I went to Soy Bistro for the first time today, and all I can say is wow. Allow me to explain-\n\nThe atmosphere was simply beautiful. A great modern, yet homey feel really makes the setting welcoming and comfortable. The service was just fantastic. The staff is so nice and so friendly. You can't help but smile (even in the gloomy Tennessee winter!). \n\nBut really, the food alone is worth the 5 stars. I had a traditional rice bowl with chicken, along with a Korean-style beef taco. Phenomenal. As an asian male, I've had a ton of rice and Korean food, but Soy Bistro legitimately ranks as one of the best rice bowls/asian meals I've had in a long time. I would even go to say it was better than home, which, as many people would agree, is a serious remark. That is how good this place is.\n\nOf course, one of the biggest factors for me is serving size. Soy Bistro gives a ton of food, and makes sure you leave full. Especially for the price, Soy Bistro is one of those rare places that doesn't hurt your wallet, while giving you a full stomach. In addition, Soy Bistro has some really healthy options, which is always a large plus. \n \nComing from Nashville, Soy Bistro is absolutely worth the drive. The people, food, atmosphere, everything, is just amazing. Highly recommended.", "Finally a good Asian rest. in Brentwood. Finally.\n\nWe were greeted by the owners. Chris let us sample the tacos, yummy. We had fried rice, chicken teriyaki, and tacos to go. Service was fast and our order was packed nicely. We had just returned from a trip, and this was a hit the spot, spot.\n\nVery excited at the quality of the food, the fact that they make all their own sauces, and use fresh ingredients. A rare find in the chain infused Brentwood area.", "Great ambience and clean. Prices are reasonable and offers healthy selections on the menu. Great service too. Loved the Korean tacos.", "This is, hands down, a MUST VISIT restaurant!! The shrimp tacos are incredible! The beef tacos amazing! The fried rice is the best we've ever had.....anywhere. Incredible service, the owners will greet you and make your meal. Guaranteed you will leave here and talk about it for days! We did.", "Yay! A family owned restaurant in Brentwood that is excellent! So hard to find great food in this area. A friend and I needed a lunch spot in Brentwood that was a) not a chain restaurant and b) open in the afternoon hours between lunch and dinner. We had a late lunch here, and it was fabulous. The service was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the beef tacos, and wow! I can't wait to take my family there. My new favorite Brentwood restaurant, definitely.", "The spicy pork bulgogi was great. Hot but not too. My wife had the \"spicy\"... lots of food and again very good. Prices are fair. Very friendly. Three different people stopped at our table and asked about our food...service...what every else we needed.", "Great food. Great service. \n\nThis place is fun to visit because the dudes who own/operate are so cool. Try the shrimp tacos, edamame, or one of the bowls.\n\nYou will love this spot!", "Great food - I can't get off the spicy chicken bowl to try anything else!\n\nThe family here provides awesome service.

This casino is not as smokey and crowded as most of the others and thus makes for a very enjoyable experience. The dealers are usually very nice and friendly and since it's not too crowded there they are pretty good about patiently (I'm slow) explaning the game and giving you tips and tricks to win...or at least LOOK like a seasoned player.", "THE STEAKHOUSE IS A MUST GO TO! It's pretty pricy, so be prepared!\n\nI've tried most of the items and you won't be disappointed! The Lobster is freakn' HUGE! I MEAN HUGE!...I think it was like 50 bucks when I got the bill! LOL! but definetly worth it! \n\nThe Filet Mignon, Prime Rib and Rack of Lamb are excellent. They have great appetizers and the salads are prepared right in your face by the waiter! NICE!!\n\nOh man, you guys gotta try the Cheesecake and the Banana Fosters...the person who makes the Fosters is awesome!", "Ha, this place is a must go? Maybe for the 1$ beers and 2$ black jack tables . . . . Hey! I Know! We can leave the kids in the trailer tonight, the TV and microwave dinners should keep them out of our Meth supply and we can go have a \"nice\" dinner at the Marina Cafe, order a well done steak, with A1 of course, and then tip the server less then 10% because they done earned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah ............................", "Oddly enough Western Village Steakhouse is the best Lobster tails I've had in my life. \n\nThe steakhouse is better than the one at the Peppermill which is surprising since Western Village is essentially a glorified truckstop. (I believe they are still owned and operated by the same parent company) The casino and other restaurants are semi depressing with a mix of truckers, meth-heads, and seniors. Not the place you'd think you'd find a great steakhouse with excellent traditional service. \n\nThey do table side preparations of warm spinach salad which is delicious, sweet, tangy, crunchy, tender. They also do table side flambeed dishes once in a while. It's been a while since I've dined here, but I still have never had a better zucchini appetizer. I know zucchini sticks are relegated to sports bars and bowling alleys as a snack, but these aren't frozen sticks of battered squash. They do theirs in thin squared buttery slices in a crisp breadcrumb and parmesean coating. delicious! And their lobster tails are enormous and cooked perfectly. They are the large Australian tails, not the chewy Maine lobster that most casinos serve. Last time I went it wasn't on the menu, but after inquiring I was able to order. \n\nThe ambiance is surreal, sort of disco space nightmare. But the booths are big, plush, comfortable and well set up table. The servers are extremely professional and courteous, bus boys expertly trained on keeping glasses full and table properly cleared and clean. Maybe not the place to take a date to impress, but certainly a place with great food.", "First thing you have to remember is that this is a locals casino. Next is that it is next to a truck stop. But this is really a great little place in Sparks. Cheap tables, fast drink service while gambling but the restaurants is where its at. They have a cantina, cafe, and steakhouse. \n\nCantina has some of the best chips and salsa and 99cent maragaritas.\n\nCafe has great breakfast specials everyday.\n\nFinally the steakhouse. I would put this in the top 5 in Reno. They have excellent service, incredible food and its all very reasonable. Kind of reminds me of the service and amenities that Harrah's Steakhouse has for about 25% cheaper price tag.", "A great steakhouse decked out in black light and located at a truck stop??? You betcha. The juxtaposition of these diverse elements makes eating at the steakhouse like entering a postmodernist dreamworld. However, the food is the big draw and the main reason you should go here. \n\nWe started with the Cesar salad that was prepared next to our table. It was quite cool in an old school sort of way to watch the waiter make the salad from scratch using a dedicated salad station. For the main course, I had the rib eye while my date had the steak Diane. The meat was cooked to perfection and the portions were large. We both left with doggy bags. The only thing we did not particularly care for was the zucchini side dish that was seasoned with a hint of what we guessed was almond extract. For desert, we had tiramisu and creme brulee that were both very good. We spent $100 for the meal including a cocktail and glass of house red wine. \n\nI also wanted to comment about the service. We called in advance for a reservation and informed them that we would be coming in a wheelchair and with a service dog. The person said they had a table for us where we would have plenty of room and not be bothered. Usually this means a crummy table in the back next to the service station. Well, this was definitely not the case. We had a great table. Later, the matre di came by and told us that she saved the table for us because her mother is in a wheelchair and she knew we would be comfortable at that particular spot. We truly enjoyed this special attention to detail.", "This review is for the Western Village Steakhouse.\n\nThis is the best low-priced steakhouse in the Reno/Sparks area.\n\nIf not for the linen tablecloths and napkins, this restaurant would qualify as a coffeeshop serving steak.\n\nDon't let the restaurant's looks decieve you.\n\nService ranges from great to mediocre, depending upon the server, but you won't care because the quality of the steaks, and methods used in its preparation, are excellent.

Skip the coffee shop and spend it here.", "Very very surprised by this place. Upon entering what is a small casino next to a truck stop, I thought \"o man, here we go...\" while meeting friends that recommended the steakhouse inside this place.\n\nBut much to my shagrin, I was pleasantly surprised. The decor when inside did a 180, from cigarette smoke infested blinking lights of the casino to comfortable, inviting (smoke free!) steakhouse. \n\nThe food was reasonably priced for a steakhouse, and when the food was served, my jaw dropped! The chicken piccatta was fenominal! Some friends that had the steak were quite happy with thier choice as well, I recommend \"steak Diane or filet Oscar\" based on what I saw and tasted. \n\nAll in all, I would definately return to the steakhouse which I forsee being good for dates or family functions. \n\n(did I mention they have chimay served in the proper glass!? :)", "I was invited to have dinner with friends at the steak house at the Western Village.

Open Monday-Saturday, tajmahalboise.com\n\n\nThere are at least two other Indian places around town, but this is our favorite. Veg Samosas with chutneys. Paneer Mahkni or Palak Subzi Dal. Naan. Mango Lassi. Lamb Biryani or fruit and nut Biryani. Together, the perfect meal (and another the next day). Oh, there's beer, too, seems like a lot of it, am not a beer person, so i stick with the lassi (yogurt drink). The chai's good, too, served hot only.\n\nDinner takes over an hour to complete, don't plan something RIGHT AFTER that you HAVE TO GET TO because it won't happen. Just relax, watch the Indian musicals, and drink your lassi. Anticipate your delicious food. Then, eat your delicious food. Seriously delicious. Have taken several people who've never had Indian to very positive responses, so go and order what I outlined above. This is one of our favorite places.", "The food here is top gear! Prices are a little high. The family that owns the place is very welcoming and hospitable. This is my daughters favorite restaurant. She always wants to have her birthday lunch here. One year the owners gave her some very nice birthday presents. It really feels and tastes like you are at someone's house having a home cooked meal. There are other Indian places out there where it seems \"americanized\". The Kormas are great. We are big fans of the Bhindi Masala. Samosas are good too.\n\nThe beer selection is excellent too. I also enjoy the filmi soundtrack coming from the large screen TV.", "The Taj Mahal is another superior restaurant burdened with a little known and poor location. It has managed to survive though, despite the recent economic troubles, and I believe it's do to the consistently high quality of the food and the friendly service.\n\nLike others have said before, don't expect your food to be rushed out to you. My Mango Lassi didn't appear until near the end of our meal, for which the owner himself apologized and gave to me for free. We ordered several dishes, with the chicken tikka masala and Beef Korma appearing as the favorites of the evening. \n\nThe decor is varied and colorful. The restaurant itself is a treat to sit in and gaze at. With Indian love stories playing on the television in the corner, it really sets the mood for the evening.

Achar is tangy and is a nice complement to the creamy korma. palak subzi dal is a spinach dish with other veggies. The spinach was a little over cooked, and maybe from frozen spinach (yuk) but this might be the way the dish is normally prepared. \n\nI can't wait to go back and sample the channa and okra. There is also a beef tandori which sounds great. They have a lunch buffet which would be a good time to sample a lot of the staples. \n\nWe also enjoyed the garlic naan which they dialed down a little for us. \n\nNick, I think they have always had the extensive drinks menu. They have switched to a lot of regional brews. I'm a fan of the Rogue products. The nutbrown ale was nicely malty and combined well with the savory achar. At the old incarnation of the Taj, I experienced my first ever Tripel Karmaliet. It is really amazing to pair the sugars in beer with spicy food. \n\nThe new space is cozier and probably more affordable to maintain.

Service was friendly, but probably wouldn't go back.", "we were passing through boise and saw the neon signs on the building. we looked at the japanese menu and of course it is a steak house...we are vegan. then we decided to try the taj mahal, even though we have amazing indian in boulder, and so it wasn't really a treat. well, we were wrong! this place was great... from the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly. everyone who worked there, and the owner, were super friendly and helpful.\n\nnot only are they vegan friendly, they have VEGAN dishes listed on their menu!!! you're just never sure what dishes they might sneak a little cream in, so it was a nice surprise to see this. \n\nwe ordered the onion baji. it was good but doesn't quite compare with our own bombay bistro who makes the best baji in the world. so i am probably just too spoiled. the mint chutney was really awesome.\n\nfor dinner, we got banghan barta (very rarely found in vegan form), and spinach sabzi daal. YUMMMMM!!! it has spice, and it is vegan, and it is yummy delicious. the rice was amazingly tasty as well. i think they listened to these reviews, because there is no way i would ever say they did not use enough spice. very very tasty!\n\nto top it off, they had mango juice for junior, and a surprisingly diverse list of belgian and specialty beers! so we got indian food and chimay beer...what a combo! we will definitely come back next time!!!" ]

Hard to find any cake...all crab and the corn relish was great with the crab. Only open a week but the service we got was superb!", "I wanted to love this place but it left us disappointed. \n\nFirst, it was SO LOUD. As in, can't hear across the table loud. \n\nSecond, the server we had could really use some additional training. I asked what the differences were between the 3 different ciders on the menu. The server looked at me with a very puzzled look on her face. Trying to help her out, I asked if perhaps one was sweeter than the others? At that point, she tried to get me to buy a sample of all 3 or get a fruit-flavored beer. I really didn't want 3 samples or a beer, I just wanted information so I could choose one drink. I thought it was just strange that she didn't offer to ask the bartender for information for me, and when I asked her to do that I got another puzzled look. So I just stuck with water. \n\nThird, the food was hit or miss. The Jo Jo's starter was ok, but completely overcooked and dry. The Hangover burger was fantastic, but came out well done instead of medium. The chicken in the Crispy Buffalo sandwich was good, but the bun was a dry mismatch and there was very little blue cheese on the sandwich. The sauce that came with the sweet potato fries was outstanding. \n\nWe may try again, maybe some of the kinks will be worked out with time, but I need some time to recover my hearing before going back.", "So far so good. Here are my wishes for this place:\n\n- a low cal menu\n- nacho app\n- bison burgers \n- buffalo chicken salad\n\nOtherwise great beer selection, nice interiors and OMG wings!!", "A little odd mix here. I've been twice now...As a consultant, I may be a little critical but inconsistencies, if not corrected, can cause a quick demise.\n\nPositives - love the beer and wings, burgers. Great selection of 124 beers (if in stock). The Cajun burger was great as well as the wings. \n\nOpportunities - staff - 1st visit - server was overbearing. We were her only table and she might as well sat down with us as she was at the table way way too much. Almost suffocating. Second visit - sat at the bar - I'd rather be suffocated at a table - the bar service was absolutely horrible - we were greeted right away and given menus, my client with me sampled a beer. The bartender (all tatted up guy) was rude and called names and throwing shots at us thinking he was funny. We played along. He wasn't funny at all. Especially since he didn't know us at all. If your going to be a di_k, go work at Dicks. After he gave the sample, none of the bartenders came back until we had to flag them down 15 min later. The bar wasn't busy at this time and there was plenty of time to service the guest. The entire bar needs trained again. They were ignoring everyone and were just rude when we needed anything like we were blessed by their presence. This will not go far in the Carmel area and they will close as quick as they open. What ever happened to a friendly hospitable environment? We had to ask for everything for the next hour and had to flag everyone down even for more beers. \n\nFood - the food was good except for the hummus and pita. The hummus was bland and a very small amount. The pita was warm but tasted like a cracker. Seemed to sit under a heat lamp too long, or baked after cut in wedges or just stale. Not good AT ALL.\n\nOverall, a 2 due to the need for a beer bar in Carmel but fix the food and service quickly or you won't be here long!!", "I was in on a Wednesday evening during a pacers playoff game, it was packed, loud and fun. Ate dinner at the bar, beer selection is overwhelming, but I guess that is the purpose! Food was awesome, hangover burger and fresh cut fries, fries are not something dumped out of a bag into a deep fryer like most joints of this nature. The wings are good but hard to eat, they are literally the entire chicken wing, honey bourbon sauce was great! I'll be back soon.", "It took eight staff members to wait on me and my wife during our first visit. A Hostess to greet us, first waitress to put down place mats, a male bus boy to deliver water, a 2nd waitress to take our order, a male bar tender to deliver the two beers, a bus boy and our waitress to get our check and arrange payment of bill. Just to many cooks trying to stir the pot! The web site did not have the most current list of beers, and the list they had was from their Bublin, OH location, so none of the beers listed were the same. In addition, It took five selections by me for the waitress to tell me that my choice was available. The atmosphere was loud and I could not hear my wife talking to me from across the table. This establishment is brand new, and I will give them some more time to work out the kinks before I pay them a return visit. I like the idea of having 124 beers on tap, but it took almost ten minutes before a waitress took our order.", "Visited the Pint Room once again with a friend. The service was much better and the food was spot on. One critique though. If there are multiple servers working with you, let the table know. We were greeted by two bartenders/servers at a cocktail table. Both initiated the greet as they would be taking care of us. They both did a great job but it seemed at first that they were taking each other's station until we figured it out. Kudos to Kelly (I believe that's her name). She was fantastic with only being a few days new. Her smile and want to make people happy is contagious. Maybe some of the other bartenders should follow her lead. We also had another female blonde waiting on us and she did a great job as well. Also, I told Kelly that I posted a negative review on Yelp after we finished eating and she said \"you were the one that the management team yelled at us for\". Although I doubt it was yelling, I appreciate it that the management read it, understood it and reacted to it. It\nshows that they are in tune to the guests concerns and perspectives. Way to go!", "We visited this restaurant for the first time and enjoyed it thoroughly. \nMy wife had Kobe Beef sliders that were juicy & delicious. The buns were brioche (or some bakery fresh style) and the arugula accented it well. \nMy daughter had Wings w/ honey mustard sauce & a root beer float. She gave both a thumbs up and took a couple wings home to enjoy later. \nI had a Hangover burger that I thought was good, but a little greasy. The bacon & egg were excellent, though. The kettle chips were crunchy and not greasy. Nicely done.\nThe beer selection is awesome. I had a Shadow Boxer Oatmeal Stout that was delicious.\nIt didn't hurt that parking in the underground structure beneath the restaurant was free & readily available. Including EV charging we were able to use. Kudos!", "My husband, 8 y.o. and I really enjoyed this new restaurant, bar, kid-friendly place today. Great burgers and fantastic craft brew selection. Beautiful interior and servers WITH personalities. I really enjoyed the small \"samples\" to taste ones I am not familiar with. I live in Carmel and I will spread the word!", "If you want a great meal with a great atmosphere, The Pint Room Carmel is where it's at! The burgers here will have you coming back every time. \n\nNewly opened, the hubs and I ventured to Carmel to try it out. We had driven by a few weeks before and made a note to try it once it was officially open. As you walk inside, the decor is nice and reminds you of a typical bar and grill restaurant. We were seated and immediately started perusing the menu. They had such a great selection of beer that it took a bit for us to decide but settled on Oberon. We enjoyed their onion rings as an appetizer and it definitely hit the spot. The sauces that came with was a honey mustard type sauce along with a horseradish type sauce, both were delicious! \n\nWe were catching up about our week and the manager came to our table to inform us that our waitress had forgotten to place our order and that it was going to be coming out soon. He apologized for the delay and offered to pay for our meal. Great guy and great customer service! I'm sure being new, they are still going to have their growing pains, but they handled it like a great staff should. \n\nWhen the meal did arrive, the wait was well worth it! I ordered The Hangover burger which had fried egg, hashbrown, tomato, and bacon. It was so good, I literally had no words! You have got to try this burger! My husband ordered the Panini burger and it was equally delish! \n\nThey have plenty on the menu and we'll be heading back again and again to try everything. :)" ]

So far all the food looks great and this seems to be a gem in the rough. \nMuch better than Taco Bus Roach motel.... And I didn't even find a zip tie in my food here, like the Roach coach.", "This is a tough review, how much slack do you give a restaurant since it was a soft open. So I 'm just going to tell you my experience but keep in mind it was a soft opening. I will go back in a few weeks or maybe a month and update my review. \n\nWell first of all I love the decor, the colors are vibrant and the place is filled with very cool paintings.\n\nOk on to the food and staff. The staff seemed very nice but they were struggling. Food kept being brought to the wrong tables and some tables were getting part of their orders but I guess it was another table's food. The only reason I'm aware of all this is because it took about 45 minutes or longer to get our food. I was observing what was going on at other tables. So it seems, that is any area they need to work on and hopefully with some guidance practice the service will get better.. \n\nLike I said our waitress was very nice but I had to ask other servers for things because our waitress would disappear and we wouldn't see her for a while. \n\nWe started off with chips, salsa and guacamole. All very good, the guacamole was delicious; I would order some to it to go, it was that good. As for drinks, I ordered some version of fire and ice, it was pretty good. For my second drink one of the waitresses suggested a beer and she said it was their house beer. Unfortunately, I couldn't drink it, it was very bitter. \n\nOur entrees arrived, the special Pollo Entomatado and chicken Enchiladas, My friend's food was piping hot, and you could see the steam coming off of it. My on the other hand was barley warm and in a spot or two not even warm. On a positive note the flavors were very good., delish!", "My girlfriend and I just ate an early dinner here. All of the staff were extremely friendly, and seemed very genuine. We were asked at least 4 times by 4 separate people if they could get us anything, and if we enjoyed our food. It might seem a bit of an overkill, but hey, what can you expect on the second day open. The decor/lighting/atmosphere was very warm and pleasant. You could tell there were quite a lot of resources put into this place. The menu was simple, and straightforward. The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and aesthetically pleasing. We shared the carnitas, and there was still a little left after we were done eating. The flavor of this particular dish was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to any pork lovers out there. One of the only downsides that I could see, was that the service was a little awkward. We asked for samples of the salsa, and the waitress was a little confused. I don't see any reason to knock it too much, being only it's second day open. This place will work out the minor kinks, and will be a very popular, successful restaurant IF they continue to provide good food/service. Will definitely be going again soon.", "I lived in Mexico for 8 years and so far this restaurant is the most authentic I have been to in Florida! or many other states! I had the Mole and it was excellent! Just the right amount of spice and the Mole was not over powering as it can be when not prepared correctly! This was only their second day of being unofficially open, I was told the Grand Opening will be in a couple of weeks, and there were lots of people offering help and assistance. Things will calm down a bit later and I would rather have lots of people asking me if I need anything than people ignoring me.\nThe inside is like entering a Art Gallery of Latin Art and even the exterior is a work of art. Best décor I have ever seen outside of Mexico and rivals the top there too!\nIt is a wonderful addition to the downtown St. Pete neighborhood and I am thrilled to see it is moving \"cool\" St. Pete further south!\n I can't wait to try other items on the menu! 5 stars from me!", "Food that I actually got to eat was decent, but worst service I've had in 15 years. It being new isn't an excuse, sorry.", "Seated relatively fast. Some menu items not available. Part of our party served within 45 minutes, then a couple more 30 minutes later, one more plate 30 minutes after that, finally the remaining dishes 15 minutes later (only 8 people in our party). Worst restaurant experience ever. Would not recommend. Will not return.", "Upon first arriving you notice the fantastic murals everywhere. Decor is great...candles burning, rusty tin ceiling. \nIt was totally packed inside and a little chaotic. There were a few tables leaving but no one to bus them so it took a little time to get seated. The hostess felt bad and finally bussed a table herself for us. \nWaitress was right over to offer drinks, chips and salsa. \nMenu is small but looks interesting. I ordered the quarter chicken mole for $12.99. My wife ordered 3 pork tacos for $8.99. I checked out the dessert options, only chocolate cake and flan. Bummer. \nFood takes forever but they just opened so I'm guessing they are still working out the kinks. \nWhile we are waiting we notice the customers. I think we are the only people here (other than service) with tattoos. The restaurant is artistic and funky but the customers remind me of my childhood in south Tampa. Definitely a yuppie/bro vibe overall.\nUpdate. We've been waiting on food exactly one hour. The manager just came out and told us our ticket was lost so they are trying to get our food soon. \nDinner came out. The pork tacos were simple but tasty. The chicken mole sauce was very good but the tiny bit of chicken, with a pile of mushy skin, left much to be desired. Next time I'm getting tacos and will just ask for some mole on the side. Rice and beans were ok. I would come back for the mole sauce...but I think I need to let some time go by for them to get things organized. \nAlso, no toilet paper in the bathrooms. Lol this place is chaos.", "Just visited tonight at 6pm for the first time. It was a terrible experience. And here is why:\n\n-we got there at 6pm and didn't get our food till about 7:20pm. \n\n-one plate came out about 15mins before the rest of our party got their order. It was a plate of nachos so there was no reason to even plate that order till the rest was ready. \n\n-we had to sit at a \"high top\" table in the middle (we were a party of four) and had random couples next to us. The seats are very small and uncomfortable. Not conducive to sitting forever for your meal \n\nService was terrible. It seems the servers are all brand new to being a server. Took forever to get a refill on waters and they ran out of coke before 730pm. \n\nWon't be back again.", "Love everything!! Food is amazing atmosphere is like no other. I have never had better Mexican food and I have been to Mexico numerous times.\nServer was wonderful Elijiah he was super friendly and helpful. Even though food was a little bit slow ready not bad at all for a brand new place, when it came it was perfect. They said everything was made from scratch and they were not lying. \nBeautiful dishes. Manager was super friendly stopped by all of the tables to thank us for coming in. I will be back often and bring friends. \nFinally a great restaurant in the middle of the South Side.", "Folks, we've got a winner... this place is awesome! Went there for the first time today and it exceeded my expectations. We arrived just after they opened on a Saturday (they are currently running limited hours, 3-10pm since they just officially opened several days ago). Its location is not ideal, but I understand this is probably an 'up-and-coming' neighborhood and I'm assuming these guys are pioneers with great insight. \n\nIan, our server, was a joy. He greeted us at the front door with a smile and took great care of us without skipping a beat throughout the entire visit. We explained the three various types of craft margaritas they were featuring - all incredibly delicious (yes, we tried all three ;) - especially the Diablo, which was a sweet & spicy margarita that included muddled pineapple and jalepenos. It was unlike anything I've ever tasted and it was phenomenal!\n\nOn to the food: house-made chips and salsa were bountiful. The staff always made sure we had enough. My husband ordered the Tampiquena Steak and I had the Carnitas entree. Both were fresh, had great flavor and were generously portioned (without being excessive). This is authentic and delicious mexican food! They have homemade guacamole, pico de gallo, and several different salsas to choose from. I appreciate their attention to quality ingredients and flavor (even the re-fried beans were perfectly seasoned). \n\nI would highly recommend this place to anyone. We plan to go back again soon! Great job and welcome to the 'Burg!" ]

It seems you have to order soybeans though, they don't just give you some with sushi. They have a big projection TV that annoyed me and kept catching my attention. Dear restaurants, plz2bnoTVskthx.", "I think this Valenica location has a pretty good benefit by being near the airport. It gets a lot of traffic on the whole and I believe that really helps in keeping the fish very fresh. Here in the desert, we can use everything we can to help get fresh fish!\n\nAki-san is a chef that came over from Sushi Garden (yes he knows Seki-san at Sushi King, they both worked together at one point). Aki-san is on the left (customer perspective) and is the one that can't stop moving. The head chef I actually don't know his name yet. I always refer to him as the \"surfer chef\" though with my coworkers as he frequently wears a Billabong shirt under his chef shirt and the logo on the back is sometimes barely visible when he turns around. He's also pretty young (30ish?) for a sushi chef and I can picture him on a board. That said, Asians have that whole \"I look way younger than I really am\" thing going on, so he's probably really like 50 or something.\n\nI try to vary up sitting in front of both to get both experiences. Aki-san is really good with nigiri-zushi. The surfer chef is really good with nigiri-zushi and maki-zushi. The tamago here is always good. Aki-san will warm it up a bit which I think makes it even better! If you like to go tempura with maki, try the Vegas Roll. I think Sachiko restaurants make the best Vegas Rolls. Hamachi/yellowtail is always fresh and good, they also have hamachi toro here and give that a try if you haven't yet. Buttery goodness! They usually have aji/spanish mackerel too. It's not marinated like typical saba/mackerel. It's raw and very fleshy and still has that mackerel taste to it. Usually dressed with ginger. Very delicious. Saba is also good here. Quality can vary a bit on the Saba, but almost always really good.\n\nPortions at Sachiko restaurants have a tendency to be a bit on the large side. But still usually one-bite sized, just with some effort! I think a lot of people like larger portions, and this is probably a good middle ground for traditional purists and value minded folks alike.\n\nAndy: I think you mean the Wilmot location. This Valencia location is a bit more expensive, I think 3.50 for salmon. And Wilmot has the projection TV. Valencia only has a small ~20\" TV above the refrigerator behind the bar.", "I've been to this restaurant 3 times and I always regret going there. Tonight's trip is going to be my last. If you look at the pictures I loaded, you can see my rolls aren't even round. They're smashed and the rainbow roll was already falling apart before it got to my table. There was so much roe on it, there were piles all around. The \"spicy hamachi and spicy salmon\" where mashed up fish with some red sauce, which wasn't even spicy. I took two bites and threw away the rest. Bad!\nI ended up suffering from the rainbow roll the next morning.", "This is actually Sachiko Sushi II, the originall being off Speedway on Wilmot. Sachiko is the daughter's name of the Japanese owner and his Korean wife. There about 4 other eateries of different sorts next to this sushi-ya. \n\nIt is pretty large, with 10 sushi bar seats and another 20 or so tables. When I went (Monday night) the chefs were both Korean, the young man from Seoul and the young woman from Fresno (second generation). The middle aged waitresses included a Korean and Chinese-Vietnamese. This gave me a chance to practice saying thank you in Korean and Chinese, discuss Vietnamese food, ask for the best Korean restaurant in Tucson (there are none, according to the Koreans) and order and ask for the check in Japanese (which they understood), although they didn't try to welcome me with the Korean version of \"Irashaiimase\"!\n\nI ordered my usual Nigiri choices, which came on the traditional wood platter. The sushi was all reasonably fresh and cut large, with smallish rice balls, but looked colorful. My chef (from Fresno) used very little wasabi on each piece, less than normal. Most common nigiri are priced at $3.50 (i.e. maguro, hamachi, sake, ebi, tako, saba, ika, izumi dai) and at $4.50 were unagi, anago, hirame, ikura. Cali roll is $4.50, Spicy Tuna roll is $4.50, Shrimp Tempura roll is $5.95 and Rainbow roll is $8.50 ( I didn't eat all of these, I am just telling you the prices!) Miso Shiro was free. 6 nigiri and a large Asahi beer totalled under $30 before tip. \n\nFor a middle of the desert, Korean chefed sushi-ya, this place meets reasonable expectations for what it is and would satisfy most of the clients that come here (many of whom don't know better). There was even a table of Japanese businessmen eating, for lack of a more authentic alternative nearby.", "The good chefs are there no longer. Aki-san went back to Sushi Garden and Jun-san (surfer chef) opened his own place (Ginza). The chefs that are now there are disappointing. The fish itself is still decent, but preparation is continually missing something that makes it less than enjoyable. Hopefully some people still find the kitchen useful?", "Good service, friendly and great food. I didn't agree with the negative reviews. I would visit again when in the area.", "I have met up with people here for lunch several times and so far I still remain disappointed. I am amazed of how busy this place could get during lunch time. Our normal 1-hr lunch break could get stretched out to 1.5hrs-2hrs due to extremely slow service. I have tried their several menu items and I find the food here average. Nothing special and can be easily made in your very own kitchen. I was a bit disturbed by their green tea that was made from green tea powder and their tonkatsu sauce that is straight from the bottle. Each item could be acquired from Lee Lee Oriental Supermarket.", "The portions were pretty huge. I got salmon teriaki (ok) and shrimp & veggi tempura (good)", "Had chicken teriyaki lunch. Very good. Great place to eat but sevice can be slow at times. Great lunch prices and better for u then fast food.", "It was a little pricey as others have said. The food was decent, nothing to rave about. I had the Titanic Boat special and spinach dumplings. Dumplings were different and quite good, even with no meat inside.

Toppings - salsas, cheese, sour cream, guac, and lettuce\n\nYou can also get a side of chips and guac, and a drink.\n\nWe each had a burrito bowl - rice, black beans, chopped tomatoes, guacamole, and lots of lettuce. About $6 each. Simple, and very satisfying. I could literally eat here every day.\n\nI have to give extra props for the service. Not only was everyone friendly but the guy behind the counter, seeing that my wrist was bandaged up, offered to carry my lunch to my table for me.", "Better than some sit-down Mexican places! The employees are always in a good mood.", "I love Chipotle. Fresh ingredients, tasty recipes. I usually get the burrito bowl with steak. It's really good and you won't be hungry for a long time. If you aren't concerned with calories, get a burrito b/c the tortillas are perfect. \n\nI can't give this place 5 stars b/c it is a chain. But, as far as chains go, this one is awesome.", "Clean, fast, filling, but tacos and burritos are about the extent of it. NOT nearly as healthy as you think. Hit up West Coast Tacos when they are at 86th and Michigan, otherwise hit Chipoopie.", "YUM. I am stuffed as I write this, and I'll probably still manage to somehow cram the last two bites of my carnitas tacos down my throat. \n\nI work at 96th and College, and I only take a half hour lunch break, so I don't have a whole lot of time. And to cut it even closer, today, I wanted to check out Huddles, so I had even less time. So I tried to think of a place that was super quick to grab some to-go, so I could try something new that wasn't just lunch for later. Ding!- Chipotle online ordering! \n\nOne of the best inventions- online ordering. The phone app works great, too! You can log into the site, save certain meals, so it's so quick to order what you want online, and just as quick to pick it up. Chipotle has dedicated spots (although this time I went, either there were cars parked in those spots when they shouldn't have been or they removed the signs). But I stopped in pretty late, and there was still a pretty close spot open. \n\nAs soon as you walk in, you get to bypass the line if you ordered online. Just walk right up to the register. In this case, again, it was after lunch, so there was no line. The guy at the food making line asked me my name, grabbed my little brown bag with a little nametag on it. \n\nThe carnitas tacos were super fresh- I had them with hot chili tomatillo salsa, rice and blackbeans. I will definitely get this again. \n\nAnd I still had plenty of time to spare to get some frozen yogurt, and still made it back to work like 10 minutes early.", "Buritto, need I say more. They taste do damn good. Chipotle, a fastfood chain that I actually come back to. \nIn full disclosure, I thought this was such a great food and concept I bought the stock in 2007, it's been a total winner!" ]

[ "The wonderful, new, delightful gem of Chestnut Hill is Stella Sera. Outstanding. Cozy, warm, friendly atmosphere. Service with a smile, very professional staff. Pasta is all homemade and delicious. Bread is the best. The menu is wonderful. Great spot for dinner, relaxation, and atmosphere. This is a fine restaurant and you will not be disappointed. You will look forward to returning. It's a BYOB, and that makes it all the better. I highly recommend Stella Sera. Enjoy!", "Place is fantastic. Loved it before the remake. Love it more now. Very comfortable, friendly, and the food is outstanding. Intimate, great location, and the food is wonderful. They've added a new chef who prepares fresh pasta. Delicious. BYOB is an added attraction. Servers, service, owner, all great. Check it out!", "I found this place to be excellent. Its is a bybo and they have a wine& sprits store accross the street . The staff was really accomodating ,friendly ,and gave great service. \n\nNow the food \nwas seasoned to perfection I ordered a \nfettuce pasta dish in a light cream sauce with mushrooms seasoned perfect, not too much sauce , which a lot of americanized italian places do and kills the many other flavors of the dish. with grilled chicken on the side seasoned perfect as I wanted to experience the dish as the chef intended ,but needed some meat , my mouth was so happy for my choice. The chef put his heart into his food and the details where evident from the care he took in the correct balnce .\n\nI had a long walk at Valley Green Park , and arrived at the in between time( 2pm-5pm). This is my luck to get hungry during these times and limits where I can go. But here in this cozy little niche of germantown ave, I found this little place with a good customer base as it quickly filled up with people who had resevation as i was finishing my meal. They gave me and my companion a complentary glass of wine as it was my first time there and I didnot know it was a byob. They were so nice. \n\nI will update on the other dishes I had there soon.\n\nCiao for now!\nps . if you arent there on in between time I would make a reservation as it fills up fast in this cozy romantic spot in the eves.", "Excellent neighborhood gem! We had escarole soup special (unbelievable), spinach salad special (also very good), bolognese over fresh fettuccine (for a usually heavy dish, this was really light and delicious -- one of the best I've had) and chicken and artichoke in white wine off the menu (excellent). Service couldn't have been better. Nice and very accommodating. Prices were reasonable as well. We'll surely be back.", "My wife and I recently tried Stella Sera after having a not so good experience last year when this location was operated under another name (Bocelli). This time was much better... the place is small so we made a reservation for a Friday night. When we arrived, almost all tables were filled but our table was ready. The server was very good (he said he was new to this restaurant and I wish I could recall his name!). We started with an order of the risotto balls... these were very good. I had the paparadelle with bolognese sauce whic was very good. My wife had blackened salmon which was also very good. All in all we enjoyed our dinner and will dine at Stella Sera again!", "This is a wonderful little Italian restaurant in Chestnut Hill. The service is excellent and you're well taken care of the moment you walk in. The food is the winner though. The chefs here earn a 10 out of 10 stars in my book. They put the extra time into making your meal perfect...and you can tell. The pasta is homemade and the desserts are as delicious to look as they are to eat. My only complaint...and it's a small one...was the noise and the size of the restaurant. It's small, so make a reservation.", "Delicious!!!! Best restaurant on the avenue in my opinion. It is BYO so be sure to grab wine from across the street. Good service. Amazing food. The gnocchi in vodka sauce was one of the best I'd ever had. Definitely make a reservation in advance. Cash discount. A little pricey, but worth it!", "What an amazing dinner! The wonderful ambiance of this restaurant was enough for me, but when they brought out our food, I was mesmorized by the flavors! The owner/chef came out to greet us and he shared a nice glass of limoncello with us. You will not be disappointed in any way if you come here for dinner. Everything we ate tasted like the chef prepared each dish with a little bit of \"love\" in every bite.", "My partner and I had an excellent gourmet meal tonight at Stella Sera in Chestnut Hill. The Portabella Mushroom with shrimp and lump crabmeat was a great starter. My entree was pan blackened Mako Shark steak. Seasoned perfectly, very tender and a large portion size. \n\nThe Chef/owner even came out to my table after the meal to ensure we had a great experience here.\n\nTable service was very prompt and professional.\n\nIt is nice to know that places like this exist where the chef cares that his patrons have an excellent dining experience.\n\nIt is without reservation that I recommend you give this chef an opportunity to show you his gourmet italian flare.", "Great food and menu selection. Desserts are to die for, especially the flourless choc cake. All home made. Nice atmosphere, though a little loud due to the confined space. Great bathroom...yes really. Service is always good. It is a BYOB too, which is a good thing." ]

[ "Nice addition to the neighborhood! The cubano sandwich here was done just right, the bread was crunchy, the cheese melted together with the meat for a nice decadent blend of flavors, and the crisp pickle cut the grease nicely. I got the sandwich with a side of sweet plantains, which were gooey and delicious. The empanadas were also done well, light crunchy shells and flavorful meat fillings. The arroz con pollo was less exciting -- fairly traditional style, served in a perfectly round mound, I just thought it could have had a bit more flavor, and the side of tostones was just a couple pieces, not a large serving like the sweet plantains. It wasn't bad, but it's not something I'd go back for. \n\nAll in all, the dishes we tried were faithful versions of some classics -- nothing bold or adventurous, but a solid performance. I'd be happy to see a little more variety in presentation, or different sauces with different dishes, but if you want classic Caribbean food, I think they do a good job, and the servers were polite and welcoming.\n\nThe outside patio also seems like a great place for a late afternoon margarita (and they just opened the bar), so I can imagine this place filling up when SLU students get back in the fall.", "For a new place, you can tell the staff are learning, bit very courteous and friendly. The food, of which I had the Cuban, and shared the Mofungo [very interesting taste]. The atmosphere genuinely feels Caribbean/Spanish influence. Definitely will be back to try not menu items.", "Great addition to the neighborhood. Do not expect Mexican here. The chef and his family are Dominican so the flavors are Caribbean. The actual menu is larger than the one online. My entree wasn't listed online. The old standard guacamole was delicious - lemony, a little chunky and a little spicy. I had the chicken, rice and vegetable entree which was flavorful. It comes with black beans and a side of plantains. Another in our party had the Ropa Vieja - shredded beef Cuban style. It too was delicious. The sopapilla dessert was worth the calories. It is not like any others I have had - sweet, crispy dough with a cream cheese custard inside.", "Had the rice bowl and fried plantains. Delicious with a capital D. Excellent service. Plan to go back soon. Highly recommended.", "Nice looking place and good service yet, coming from P.R., we didn't get what we ordered / were expecting, i.e. ordered a skirt steak (\"churrasco\") and received cube meat (\"bistec\"). The same happened with a \"Mofongo\" that we ordered that was actually a \"Mangu\" presented as a \"Mofongo\". Aside from the misinterpretation of these two typical Caribbean entrees, the rice with chicken (\"arroz con pollo\") and \"sancocho\" were very nice. Also, a bit pricey for the quality of food we received.", "Super delicioso! Very nice place with friendly staff. We started with the refreshing parcha juice. We then opted to try the mofongo with pork and it was to die for. After the meal we had the coconut flan we left super satisfied and plan to be back soon.", "Ordered take out marinated pork entree. Pork was good. Has baked sweet potato \"fries\" which weren't crunchy by any means not flavored. They were just baked sweet Potato slices and there was literally about 6 skinny pieces. The beans were just okay. The atmosphere looked nice so will try them again for a dine in experience.", "Mi Caribe is new and located on Lindell inside the Del Coronado (down stairs - so don't try to enter at the Residences door). This is not Mexican or Tex-Mex - this is what I would call inspired by Dominican Republic (\"DR\") fare. The food from DR is a blend of Taínos (indigenous people of DR), African and Spanish cuisine that is affectionately known as comida criolla. Comida criolla focuses on proteins like pork, beef, chicken and even goat yet there are appetizers, soups and entrées that are meat free as well. \n\nThere is ample space and great sunlight. On my first visit I started with veggie & chicken empanadas. There are typically two types of dough used in the Caribbean when making empanadas, yucca and flour. Here it tastes like they went the latter yet this dough was very thick and not seasoned (it needed salt/pepper). The veggie empanada filling seemed to need seasoning as well; the chicken empanada filling on the other hand was seasoned great! \n\nFor my entrée I went with arroz con pollo w/ maduro (sweet plantains) - give this dish a try! The rice & chicken were seasoned impeccably & bursting with favor. It was so good, I was sad when I began to feel full. It even came with a side of slaw; I don't normally like slaw but it was bright & tasty.\n\nOn my next visit, I called in for a vegetarian soup. I cannot recall the name as it isn't on the menu but it was delicious and I've never had anything like it (even though I've spent time in DR). It was a butternut squash base with apple, plantains and curry seasoning. There was some kick but it came across more peppery. \n \nRandoms: A major staple in DR is La Bandera and I was surprised not to see it on the menu but they do have another staple called Mofongo. I haven't had a rum based drink yet but my Margarita was solid - not frozen but good all the same. The service was attentive and just enough. Since I don't eat many of the above-mentioned proteins, I would give the food a 3.5 and the service a solid 4.\n\nI know this place will be a hit when the Universities are back in and with the uptick of fall traffic. You could easily catch a show and walk down here for some unique eats.", "The staff is great here, the co-owner is especially great and remembered me after my first visit. \n\nThe food is inconsistent, during one visit, it is spectacular, on the next it's just ok and the next time it's great again. They are new, so I imagine it is part of their growing pains. I will say that we've never had a bad meal here and that the Cuban ranges from pretty good to excellent. \n\nLong story short, if you looking for some authentic Dominican & Cuban food, Mi Caribe is worth a shot. \n\nIt would be great if they expanded their Caribbean reach and added some Haitian patté and Jamaican jerk chicken.", "As Puerto Rican new to St.Louis, it was a reminder of home. The Cuban Ropa Vieja was delicious and authentic. \nI have to disagree with the previous Puerto Rican reviewer about the Mofongo and say that it was excelent. It was more of a dominican than puerto rican style, but it was described in that way on the menu and was definitely not Mangú. \n\nAs to the service, the waitress did get our order a little confused but it is a new restaurant and they were still very attentive. \n\nI personally would like to see some credit given to some of these plates as to being puerto rican or at least sharing the credit with our dominican brothers and sisters.\n\nAll in all, the food was excelent and authentic, the service staff is still learning but attentive and most importantly it felt and tasted like home, like\"mi caribe\" to the Spanish-Speaking Caribbean community in STL. \n\n***Notes to the restaurant: The menu had some typos like \"mangú\" \"arroz moro\" \"mofongo\" \"jamón y queso\" \"ensalada\" \"yuca\"" ]

[ "Felicia's is a place that makes very tasty pizza. but it is also an unexpected concert hall that shows some of the best all ages shows just outside the city. Wynne Records do a great job of maintaining the D.I.Y. aesthetic of concert promotion and put on at least one show a month in the kitchen's back room. when you think of the back room of a pizza kitchen you instantly think of a dingy room with lots of ovens, but this area is more like a comfortable living room complete with sofas and a good sized television. \nSince it's in Suburbia it showcases a lot of good bands from that area. but Philly bands like Red Rocket and The Hydrogen Jukebox have played shows here. and since it's all ages, it gives younger music audiences the chance to see bands that they otherwise wouldn't have easy access to. And the bands are more than happy to play for them.", "Being introduced to a restaurant that bears my name was a somewhat anxious experience. \n\nI take food very seriously, and this Felicia's was making Pizza. I was promised white clam pie from a wood-burning oven. The wood out back was described. \n\nIt was all I hoped for and more.", "YUM, YUM, YUM\nFelicia's rocks. Have ordered takeout on several occasions and delicious fare everytime.\nI tend to custom order stuff and they happily indulged my whims.\nThe owner is hysterical and I just can't praise this establishment enough.\nA once in awhile treat is their creme fraiche, goat cheese with carmelized onions & prosciutto pizza. So heavenly..", "Felicias is the best on the Main Line and even Philly for that matter. \n\nNice wholesome ingredients with a delicious brick oven flavor. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Their pizzas are simply awesome. And their staff is super charming. \n\nThis is by far the best pizza on the Main Line! The brick oven flavor is fabulous!", "Let's be up front about this: I've never actually tasted their pizza. The fact that I was never able to try them is the reason they get one star. OK, so you're head is spinning...here's the story:\n\nMe: Flying solo on a rainy evening, hungry, taking Yelper's advice on Felicia's\n\nThem (girl): Politely answering the phone, taking my order (which I made sure was over their delivery minimum), hanging up\n\nThem (some dude): Calling back 2 minutes later to bitch me out because I live in \"Timbuktu\", telling me I have to order MORE food, and asking me directions while constantly talking over me as I try to give them!\n\nMe: Not really digging their customer service, telling the guy he's being an asshole, and cancelling my order.\n\nTrue, the guy called back one minute later to apologize and offered to deliver to my house (which is maybe a 6-8 minute drive away), but by that point the damage was done. This just happened, and instead of finding another source of gastric comfort (aka dinner) I decided I had to Yelp about it. It's too bad, I heard they have good pizza.", "Ahh- the best pizza by far on the mainline! My favorite is the grilled veggie with low-fat cheese- They sure know how to make a girl who only likes string beans love veggies! Tony the owner is the best, He always knows it's me when I call to order the grilled veggies with ricotta and hot peppers and makes it extra special. I can't help but get my favorite pizza every time but my boyfriend's family gets a variety of different pies and they never disapoint. I've had the boneless buffalo chicken tenders as well and they're great.", "I've been a fan of Felicia's since way back. Tony's the best, there is an awesome selection of pies, he has a great brick oven and turns out a top quality pie. Now, I am not one of those folk who care for the grease oozing out, bready crusted pies passing for pizza in Ardmore (like ... uh, Ardmore Pizza). My one, sole complaint is that Tony needs to use more salt in his dough. The crust has a nice texture but is seriously tasteless. Otherwise great stuff!", "amazing pizza. felicia specialty pie with the garlic sauce is nuts. caramalized onions are sweet. just know that going in. The guy I met there was hilarious, personable and made fun of me in a good way.\ndamon\ndont give one star to this place if you havent had their pizza!!! and just because the guy had one bad conversation with you you called him an a hole and then he still called back to apologize. oh my gosh dont take it out on a place if your grumpy. sorry for the preachyness but had to say something", "One fated evening had the bf and me in Ardmore. The Yelp voices guided us to find Felicia's. And it was certainly a find. But first it requires some searching... The address lists as 18 W Lancaster Ave but for those of you not familiar with the area... Felicia's is not located on the main storefront street of Lancaster but rather in the rear of the buildings, facing the parking lot. Just call them if you are confused. Tony will be more than happy to guide you!\n\nAmbiance: This is more of a take-out joint. You are more than welcome to enjoy your meal in Tony's company at a counter or a small table for two. And if the weather is nice - you could ask if you can grab the patio seats upstairs. \n\nService: While we waited for our pizza, Tony regaled us with his company which ranged from a discussion about our chauvinistic society to the merits of the iPad and Apple advertising. Friendly, neighborly and old-school. Gotta love it. \n\nFood: One of the best pizzas I've ever had. We split a Felicia's Special - fresh spinach, tomatoes, mozzarella with a homemade roasted garlic sauce. DAMN. I was worried at first as I prefer marinara sauce on my pizzas but this pizza made me wish that EVERY pizza came with this roasted garlic deliciousness. I can definitely see why this is his most popular pizza. I would recommend extra tomatoes if you like more of that red sauce/tomato element. The only minus I could think of is that while the dough is on point in it's texture (chewy but crispy and substantive) it could have a tad more flavor/salt. But honestly this was one of the best there ever was! \n\nCool piece of information from Tony: Felicia's has one of two wood-burning brick ovens in Philadelphia. I think the other is Tacconelli's .. Thus attributing to it's authentic flavor. Due the environmental legislation that prevented the building of any new wood-burning ovens, all other \"brick ovens\" are gas powered. \n\nDrinks: Along with the usual soda suspects, Felicia's provides some homemade soda options. The root beer was the best in my opinion. \n\nThis pizza is worthy of dealing with septa to get my arse out to Ardmore. That says alot. =)", "Felicia's Special is the best pizza on the main line. This place is much better than Stella." ]

[ "This place may be hard to find on the web or in the phone book as it's variously listed as \"Number One China Buffet\", \"Number One China Buffett\" (double \"t\"), \"#1 China Buffet\", and \"No. 1 China Buffet\".\n\nI decided to be a little generous here with a 3-star rating. I gave them three stars, not so much for the quality of food, as for the good price.\n\nIt's both a buffet (for lunch and dinner) and an order-off-the-menu place. Eat in or take out.\n\nEat-in buffet price: \n$4.99 lunch, plus .99 drink, plus tax. (11 am to 3:30pm) \n$5.99 dinner, plus .99 drink, plus tax. (5pm to 9pm)\n\nTake-out buffet price: \n$4.79 per box for lunch. \n$5.79 per box for dinner. \n(does not include soup)\n\nThe buffet was not as extensive as I normally like, but given the price, it's still a good deal. The main thing missing for me was lettuce on the salad bar.\n\nAt about 4:30pm, the food was fresh from the kitchen, and not left over from lunch. The quality was better than the dirt-cheap/fill-up-cheap places, but just didn't stand out. It was \"meh..., acceptable.\"\n\nThe dessert/fruit section was not much either: jello, dried out orange sections, flavor-less mini eclairs, cantelope chunks. They didn't even have bananas in red sauce.\n\nCleanliness and ambience were good, a tad better than \"acceptable.\"\n\nI would not go out of my way to eat here, and if I were in the area, and wanted _good_ Chinese food, I'd go elsewhere. But if I were in this area, and in a hurry, and price were a factor, this is acceptable. But I would not treat guests here.\n\nThe food isn't bad, but it's just not good enough to recommend. So, this place is mainly for the budget conscious.\n\nIf I'm not getting this confused with another place, I really liked the coconut shrimp.\n\nSuggestion for New Diners: coconut shrimp.", "I'm a big fan of chinese food, and especially buffets when I'm on a particular diet. Most of the low-price buffets in the area seem to be really going down in quality over time, and some have been downright dirty and nasty so I won't eat there any more. But not the #1 China Buffet. I don't know if it's #1 in Carmel, #1 in Indy, or #1 in the world, but my guess it's just the #1 buffet in this particular strip plaza.\nThe food is average, the selection is moderate (certainly not expansive), and the place is clean, orderly, and decent priced.\nThe food seems to be kept relatively fresh, not dried up in the pan, or all gone, as has been with other buffets in the area. You're not going to impress anybody by taking them here, but if you want to eat a lot of cheap chinese grub, at least it's decent and clean. I've been here for both lunch and dinner and have never had anything to complain about. If you want carry out or sit-down Chinese, there are two other better places nearby. As someone else mentioned, not much in the way of dessert except the standard soft-serve machine.", "I usually come here about once a week for lunch. It's not great, but it's also not terrible. It's very cheap with plenty of food to stuff your face with. It's typical Chinese buffet fare.", "I'm not sure the food rates a solid 3 star rating, but the overall experience probably does.\n\nIt's not great. But, some of the dishes are pretty darn good. The price is right, and it seems like they're constantly cleaning, which is a good think in a buffet style restaurant!\n\nMy favorites are the Coconut Chicken and the Peanut Chicken, they seem to be a cut above similar dishes at other Chinese Buffets. The rest of the food? It's hot, fresh, and filling, if a bit bland.\n\nIt's one of those places I stop when I'm hungry and don't want to spend a lot of money, but still get a good meal. However, I wouldn't plan a special occasion here.", "I would probably say it rates a 2.5, but I just can't go 3 stars. The food isn't terrible, but it also isn't that super. I think the appetizer type food is better than the main dishes. They also usually have very fresh good fruit.\n\nThe teriyaki chicken skewers are pretty good. Generally, the pot stickers are good. They actually have nice crisp vegetable spring rolls. They used to have killer meatballs in some sort of delicious sauce, but I haven't seen those for a long time. That bums me out, because that was my favorite thing there. The General Tso's chicken is ok, but most of the other entree dishes I have tried just aren't all that great. As I look back over the list of what is good, I notice they do fried really well.\n\nThe price is really good (and there are often coupons), and it is fast since it is a buffet and that is why I return.", "For the price that you pay, the food is delicious. \n\nEvery time I visit, the food is always coming fresh out of the kitchen. The trays are consistently being changed so you know the food hasn't been sitting long and is sticking to the bottom. \n\nI always have a pleasant experience.", "Good food at a good price. Most of the time it's iffy to eat at a buffet during off peak hours but Number One China Buffet had fresh food.", "I went to this restaurant during lunch and it was amazingly cheap for how good the food tasted. It was around $5 to eat endless Chinese food during the lunch hours and the food was all very delicious. They have your normal Chinese eats, such as stuffed mushrooms, sweet and sour chicken, honey and peanut chicken, crab ragoon, hot and sour and egg drop soups, and so forth. The service was decent and the food seemed to always be fresh. As far as service goes, there was no much interaction with employees past paying for your meal and getting our drink cup, which happened during the same time. You basically put your dirty plates in a tub by a door that I assume leads back to the kitchen or dish room. This limits your interaction with the service, so leaving tips might not seem needed, but that is completely up to you. I went with a huge group of people during work and the restaurant was able to accommodate us all while still serving others that were there without conflict. It is located in a nice area in Carmel near many other stores, so if you would want to go there for lunch while out shopping, it is very convenient.", "As everyone has said, the food isn't amazing but for the price, it's awesome. It's good and fresh because the place is usually busy but at the same time you can usually get in, eat and get back to work pretty quickly. And I think the value for the take-out buffet is even better. They don't weigh it so you just stuff as much food as you can in the box and head out.", "For the price, which is like 5 bucks, you get a lot to eat and it's decent. It seems to be coming out fresh pretty often and there are some good selections at the buffet. The atmosphere is a little creepy. Go for lunch if you want to pig out and pay almost nothing." ]

I got a spicy level 5 and it was perfect (I like things spicy, it was 5 out of 7). We also got Chicken Satay app and it was delish. \n\nSpice Thai is BYOB, and food is very reasonable.

I prefer my pad thai with more fish sauce, chili powder and egg.\n\nThe massaman curry is quite nice and will be going back over and over again.\n\nThis place is a BYOB and I would recommend a bottle of Riesling and some beer.\n\nThey do take reservations if you want to call in advance.

Crying Tiger salad is delicious, with a fine balance of flavors and spices. Curried Chu Chee duck is delightfully flavored, crisp with no fattiness -- a textbook example of how this should be prepared. However, salmon supreme is relatively bland (ginger fish is much better), and default-level spices can overwhelm calamari taste in curried fish offerings (best to ask for mild spiciness with light-fish curry dishes). If you insist on mild spiciness in other dishes, specify when ordering, although recently the default spiciness may have been reduced, so taste and experiment. Polite prompt service most weekdays, although it can get moderately slow during crowded weekend evenings. The setting is modest and tiny but pleasant, with a large window for sidewalk people-watching, but tops of chair backs dig into your spine if you're tall. On frigid evenings try to avoid the rearmost tables, which like the bathrooms can be chilly. When calling last Friday evening we were told we wouldn't need reservations, only to be nearly turned away because we didn't have reservations. After us, most were being turned away, with some leaving and others waiting patiently for an opening. Alas, one waiting foursome leaned themselves next to our table near the front, something even a diner shouldn't allow, and carried on a shouting conversation practically in our ears. So reserve ahead Fridays and Saturdays to be safe, but even better is to try for weekdays.", "Low key and relaxed.\nVery Good Thai in a BYOB.\nNice Staff\nVery good red and green curry.", "This is a great BYOB but small (probably only seats 20-30 people). The menu is also small but everything is really good and they have a lot of appetizers! Service is quick and the wait staff is friendly and helpful.", "Thoroughly enjoyed the Drunken Noodles, the Panang curry was OK but would avoid the Crying Tiger salad. It is authentic thai mostly and the staff were really pleasant. I would recommend it.", "People who compare this to fine places in NYC, Philadelphia, and/or San Francisco haven't lived much, IMHO. :-)\n\nDuring a weekday lunch, the place was completely empty most of the time. the waiter/host was monosyllabic, but competent. Tom Ka Gai soup had plenty of chicken and mushrooms, but had zero seasoning and was flavorless. The \"drunken noodles\" (forget Thai name) that people are raving about was fine, but nothing amazing. \n\nDecor seemed OK. Lunch was pleasantly quiet, which was nice, and the place appeared to be reasonably clean.", "As I walked in my quest for a place to eat, I looked at this place and expected a good experience. What I got was exceptional!\n\nTry the pineapple fried rice with crabmeat. I asked for it spicy, and man, did they make it spicy! And it was a GOOD spicy, not just dumping hot oil or chili flakes in it at the last minute. Freshly cooked. \n\nAnd the sticky rice with mango? What a treat!\n\nThe ambiance was lovely. And service was extremely fast.\n\nI think I just found my new favorite Thai restaurant!", "Cute and romantic little Thai place. The food was tasty but both my boyfriend and I felt sick immediately after leaving the restaurant. There is definitely better Thai food in the area." ]

[ "STRANGE DONUTS WAS AWESOME, HATERS.\n\nAs much as I like to reject the things everyone gets excited about, I couldn't not give into the donut hype. Passion is a wonderful thing. Especially when that passion leads to glorious donuts.\n\nEven with a line going well down the road, the Strange Donuts crew did a great job of keeping things stocked to meet the demand. The classics ($1) are fine, but the strange creations ($2) like Bart's Revenge and the Campfire are what you're really coming here for. Tonight they're featuring a donut topped with a piece of Porter's fried chicken. So don't get on here whining about how great the other donut shops in town are and who cares about this new place. Until World's Fair Donut can one-up these guys with a salisbury steak fritter, I'm not listening to your danged negativity.\n\nAwesome first day, Strange Donuts. I've got 3000 calories of donuty goodness ready for the weekend, a really awesome cup of Kuva coffee, and a t-shirt with a dinosaur on it. Flying a spaceship.\n\nStay strange.", "My husband is an avid donut fanatic and has been following Strange Donuts at pretty much every special event they've been a part of well before they opened the doors. The grand opening was this morning and we got up well before the sunrise to be a part of it all. We were there at 4:45 AM so we could get the sweet tshirt of a freaking dinosaur in a donut spaceship. Yep. Dinosaur + Donut + Space= Amazeballs\n\nBut we're not here to talk about shirts. We're here to talk about donuts. Strange Donuts has classics, creations, and \"strange\". At a past special event we had ordered a dozen Gooey Butter donuts. They were obviously a good recipe but not the best. I'm not sure if they had been baking for days to get ready for the event and the donut I had was a bit old or what. But I was not blown away. My husband told me all the others he had were wonderful and I trust the guy. So off we went to the grand opening. I tried the Gooey Butter again and I have to say, it was moist and flavorful and wonderful. I also tasted the Apple (can't remember the name: iSomething) covered in a cinnamon glaze. My favorite by far. And the Campfire (s'mores) and the Barry Greenberg (coconut chocolate) and the Chocolate Glazed and the Pumpkin Spice Cake. Of all the bites I tried of different kinds, none disappointed. \n\nAnd the kicker- I'm gluten free. I ate these donuts risking pain. It was worth it.", "I'll set the scene: \nWe're at a campfire on a beautiful Friday night. Topic of convo? New donut shop in STL: Strange Donuts. My mouth waters...man do I want a Campfire donut.\nFitting! What's that you ask? Oh, just a cake donut, toped with chocolate, graham crackers crumbs and a FREAKING ROASTED MARSHMALLOW in the center. \nWe ditch the fire, drive to Strange Donuts & I have a Campfire donut in my mouth 15 minutes later. Meta? Or maybe Strange?...that we left a burning fire pit to go get donuts?\n\nHey: $1 for the classics, Strangers are $2. Get some milk! And a shirt, cause we should support this place, yeah?\n\nOh...and STAY STRANGE!", "While not the first donut place like this in the world, it is certainly a first in STL. \n\nGreat originals like the \"campfire\" and simple classics like jelly filled. I am looking forward to trying their chicken and waffle donut. It looks ridiculous (in a good way). \n\nBought a dozen as a birthday treat for my father in law. Everything was great. \n\nThe only problem was a long wait, they may have underestimates the demand and could have configured the store with an in and out door, and perhaps a longer counter. The will probably need a bigger space if they keep it up. \n\nTo sum it up. I'll be back and will be bringing friends.", "The donuts were small and too expensive. $11 for a dozen regular, $20 a dozen specialty. The donuts tested like any other donut, nothing to set them apart from Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts, or any of a dozen other donut shops in the St. Louis area. The jelly filled donuts had a thimble full of jelly in them...I am disappointed.", "Went there in the evening on the first weekend it opened because my friend loves donuts. Waited in line outside for probably 20 minutes or so. Store set up is really not meant to accommodate that many people and there is no place to sit to eat there, which was disappointing. \nThe donuts were okay - all of the donuts are cake donuts which aren't my preferred kind but tasted about average. They do have a wide variety but other than a couple exceptions, most of them were actually not that unique, especially for the price. $2 for a small donut with sprinkles seems a little excessive. More or less they have just 3-4 flavor of donut bases and slap various toppings on the frosting part. The \"strange' donut was the chicken and waffles, which just looked strange as it was a chicken tender on top of a waffle-flavored donut and a pat of butter on top for $5.\nIt's a novel shop but not sure I'd make an effort to go back, esp given the price and the wait.", "Is Strange the new Voodoo????? \n\nThe long line and wait outside the door was not that bad, 30 min I think we spent in line but regardless the line was moving. The place itself is small. Super tiny with one door for entering and exiting. The decor is \"Strange\" for lack of a better word.\n\nI tried the Bart's Revenge, Gooey Butter, Chocolate, and a Raspberry Fritter.\n\nFirst of all all of the donuts are cake donuts that being said I expected great things inside each doughnut. A mix of very strange things in every bite but sadly the cake donuts were plain. At least the ones I mentioned above. \n\nThe Bart's revenge was good. The doughnut was cakey. The butterfingers on top were good. The combination of the two were good but I was not blown away.\n\nThe Chocolate doughnut was also good. Nothing spectacular though.\n\nRaspberry Fritter was okay. You can taste the oil it was fried in. It was not overly sweet and you can taste raspberry here and there. Overall it was a fine doughnut.\n\nThe gooey butter was my least favorite. I have had Gooey Butter cake and I have always loved it. I expected the Gooey Butter doughnut to have a similar type of consistency in the doughnut or at least the same sweetness but it did not. The doughnut part was a simple doughnut. The topping is supposed to be \"Gooey Butter\" but it was not even close. It was salty, not as sweet and could have EASILY passed for a butter popcorn doughnut. You could taste the saltiness and smell the butter. \n\nI will praise the guys working the counter though. They were VERY quick and friendly. They were thankful and apologetic for the long wait outside. Among the chaos of people they were able to get people in and out and replenishing the doughnut supply when things got low. \n\nI give the service and the guys behind Strange Doughnuts 4 stars. I give the doughnuts themselves 3 stars.", "I've been waiting patiently since SD announced their impending existence sometime last year. Since then, I've eaten maybe 3-4 of their donuts through their popup events. \nThey were all amazing.\n\nI finally checked out the store Saturday. The Bart's Revenge, topped with butterfingers is a standout, the Red Velvet was tasty, and the Campfire was also good, but could've used more chocolate. The store itself is itty bitty, with no where to sit, but neither do World's Fair, Donut Drive In, or St. Louis HIlls Donut shop, so it's a moot point. \n\nI ate all three donuts on the 6 minute drive from there to my house, if that tells you anything.", "So I made my way to Strange Donuts on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, strategically right before noon when I figured there wouldn't be a block long line of Strange fans waiting for their fix. \n\nMy plan was a success! I walked right in and gazed at the selection and chose just two - a classic, cinnamon and sugar cake donut and the Tutti Frutti, an iced cake donut with fruit loops on top. \n\nI have to say that the classic cinnamon and sugar donut was one of the VERY BEST cake donuts I have ever had..... and I have had a lot of them over the years.\n\nI found the Tutti Frutti to be good,but just a bit too sweet for me. \n\nI am a fan and wish these guys all the best and I will be back to try some of the more STRANGE versions and of course more of the classics.", "So my wife and I tried Strange Donuts yesterday, after eagerly awaiting their opening. Previously we've tried their offerings at a beer/donut pairing at Perennial Artisan Ales and liked their products.\n\nI picked up a mixed dozen, getting half of their 'creations' and half traditional. They were definitely tasty, moist and flavorful...but not 'out there' enough for the way it's been hyped. They were also a little on the small side.\n\nMy only gripe about this, is that all the 'creations' had the same white or chocolate cake, with their 'strange' toppings. For expanse, the Bart's Revenge, which was topped with butterfinger bits, was good however the cake of the donut was just plain ol chocolate. Now if they would've mixed butterfinger bits into the donut batter, that would have been strange and delicious!\n\nThat being said, everything was moist, tasty, flavorful and fresh. I just feel like they need to really crank up the 'strange' aspect. Otherwise they're really just strange toppings.\n\nWill definitely go back." ]

[ "Much of life is moving toward uber-mobility, so an influx of food trucks is the savvy way to wrangle business in this on-the-go/updating/tweetup-ing world; and, lo! Indy has a Food Truck! The classic, too: the Taco Truck. Having gone to college in LA I lived & breathed & earned a degree on taco trucks; now, I'm ready to earn my turning-30 card with a near-daily taco truck trek. \n\nThese gentlemen don Dodger caps (and, well, they might quickly become ushers at my wedding, my funeral, and when I make little Dodger babies I'll ask them to cater their birth). \n\nThey keep it traditional with $1.65 tacos with cilantro, onions & marinated carne asada -- that's it.\n\nWho knows why they're in the Cardinal Fitness lot...other than it's a prime Broad Ripple Ave location...and it's rather victorious to eat these lean fighting tacos in front of an annoying gym. \n\nLook for this taco truck on the lunch hour (today they were at Illinois & Vermont); the point being...follow their Twitter feed for the location, et al.\n\nI can't believe I get to say this in my hometown: Go Dodgers, Go Tacos!", "I had high-hopes for West Coast Tacos, but wasn't impressed. The tacos were just OK, and portion size was quite small. The 40-minute wait didn't help our opinion much either. Step outside the comforts of Broad Ripple and find some great tacos in more ethnically diverse parts of town. You'll be glad you did. There are many taco carts and trucks serving tacos without the hype.", "I ate five West Coast Tacos for lunch a few weeks ago and have had gnawing cravings ever since. The steak tacos are delicious and the salsa is fresh and just spicy enough. I can't wait to find them at night in Broad Ripple so I can try the chicken and fish tacos, too. \n\nThe line gets out of control pretty quickly, so get there early or be ready for a bit of a (well-worth it) wait.", "They always seem to be in the opposite part of town as I am , but I finally made it to the Cardinal Fitness lot on a Saturday night. Wish I had known that their tacos were supposed to be snacks and not a meal, but an order of 3 (for $5 - great price!) still made a pretty decent dinner.\n\nI had the steak tacos - I got there too early for chicken or fish (I was surprised, since they usually do a good job of advertising their selection on Twitter,but I hadn't seen anything that day). Tacos were a little spicier than I anticipated, but they were still pretty tasty. \n\nI'd definitely try them again, when I know they have chicken and/or fish on hand. If nothing else, it's a fun experience, and it's nice to see another trend make its way to Indianapolis.", "I wouldn't consider myself a huge foodie. I like food. I like making food. But I am no foodie. \nAnyway, I had read about west coast tacos in the Indy Star and was dying to go their. I had tweeted with them a couple of times and I always got a friendly response. I drag my husband over to cardinal fitness to get a bite. \n\nThe wait was long. Really long. and some douchebag didn't help the situation by whipping out his iphone and taking pics when his order was up. But eventually we got ours. \n\nThey were pretty decent nibbles. The tortilla is corn, not flour and that threw me off a bit. I am not a huge spice fan and after a taco and a half my mouth was on FIRE. I ended up giving a taco and a half to my husband. \n\nAt the time we went they only had the steak tacos, and that was okay. They were good. But like I said, my mouth was on fire. I know it wasn't that bad of a heat because it did not give the hubs the hiccups. He enjoyed the sauce a lot.\n\nI want to go back and try their tempura fish taco.", "These guys started off great, but their ego is getting to them. The tacos haven't been as good and remain overpriced, the burrito is EXTREMELY overpriced, and the customer service is awful. In fact, when replying to them on Twitter agreeing with others that their business twitter account being flooded with their own personal tweets was annoying, I was told by them to unfollow them. I follow businesses like food trucks for real time location updates, not stream-of-consciousness from one of the owners. The truth is they don't have many followers to their personal account and are using the WCT account to get more interaction with their boring thoughts. Guys, WCT was born via twitter, you're only screwing yourselves with the lack of regard for your followers. I will gladly unfollow, but now you are no longer in my thoughts on a daily basis and probably won't be getting my business.\n\nOtherwise, if you happen to find yourself in front of their truck...the steak is the best. The others are just ok.", "Terrible tacos. Dry chicken, dry, tough steak. The steak is marinated with something very sweet... I didn't expect this, though I'm not familiar with Korean bbq. The salsa was not spicy. There is too much corn tortilla. They double the tortillas, which are cold and don't taste fresh, so the majority of what you taste is tortilla. 3 tacos is definitely not enough for a lunch. I can eat just a hot pocket for lunch and be satisfied until at least late afternoon... but these left me hungry within an hour. It was not an easy task to choke them down with as dry as everything was. It all just compounded on top of each other. And I'm really sad about this, because I think a taco truck is a great idea, and there was so much good press as well as tons of good reviews. Every one of these people must have been drinking long hours in broad ripple before providing good reviews.", "Simple. cheap. and while they might not be the best of tacos to be had in Indy, they are much better than what one would expect to grab out of a truck. \n\nMake sure to have a water, as the tacos might be a bit spicy for some. \n\nWest Coast Tacos is a dining experience everyone should have at least once, so find out where they are on any given day via Twitter and Facebook updates. @WestCoastTacos on Twitter.", "Today I randomly started telling my buddy about the LA food truck scene in hopes that I wouldn't be so homesick. In the middle of my recounting of all that is delicious, another friend texts me, \"found a taco truck in Indy\" with a picture of this West Coast Taco Truck parked downtown. What a coincidence!\n\nImmediately I yelp this Indy taco truck and find their twitter site. It says they are bringing the Korean bbq tacos to Indy. LA's all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurants are something I miss terrriblyyyy. Anyways, visions of the original Kogi taco truck comes to my mind and I beam with more excitement.\n\nlocation: find them on their twitter; mass ave and Alabama\n\nparking: thank god it's indy where there is parking -_- (I've never been to a downtown with more parking)\n\nwalking up to the truck, I noticed there was no line (Tuesday, 9pm) which didn't bother me that much since indy doesn't have anybody around at nights on the weekends. I also got kind of excited when I noticed two korean dudes hanging out next to the truck (thinking they work there - must be legit kbbq) and a guy with a LA dodgers cap working inside the truck.\n\nservice: there was no visible menu on the truck; a nice lady took my order but there was only steak today\n\nprice: $2 a taco / 3 for $5; pretty typical\n\nfood: My buddy and I got 3 steak tacos (I wanted to try chicken but they only had steak today). Twitter said they were kbbq tacos from LA, they are not. If they were Korean bbq tacos, the meat would be better and the kbbq marinate would taste more kbbq-y. How do they compare to kogi tacos (I used to get them all the time when I was an undergrad at UCLA)? so kbbq tacos, they are DEFINITELY NOT. but putting aside the expectation for the tacos to be like LA kbbq tacos, the tacos are decent - a hint of spiciness and the meat is at least better than ground meat from taco bell. I was a little disappointed with not having more condiments available - ie maybe a lime or some more cilantro or onions? Also I think the corn tortillas could use some warming! But for $2 a taco, I'd go again to reminisce about LA? \n\nI hope I didn't complain too much - while I am not as excited about this as I was in the beginning of the night, I am excited enough to let this taco truck pop my yelp cherry (my first write-up). Given that there are no other taco trucks in Indy, I'd say I'll see you guys again.\n\nI talked with the people in the truck for a little bit and they told me they usually hit up broad ripple on the weekends. I could see myself getting these tacos after broad ripple as long as I still had cashhhhh at the end of the night.\n\n3.5/5", "Thought it would be the Bomb! Went one night at 10:30 and they were sold out but they let me try a little slice of meat that was left. It had great flavor and I couldn't wait to actually try the Tacos in all their glory. A few days went by and I was out to Dinner at Recess (another review is coming). On the way home I just got the urge for those tacos. Parked right up front greeted by extremely nice servers on the truck and placed my order. I waited in anticipation for what I thought would be a wondrous rush of flavor and what I received was 3 corn tortillas with barely any steak, which was cold by the way, sprinkled with some tomatoes, cilantro and onion. I was very disappointed. I may go back to give it another try ( I usually give everyone the benefit of the doubt the first go around) as I sooo want it to be wonderful." ]

[ "This is a one of my favourite Edmonton cafes! The decor in here... On point! So gorgeous and well thought out! This a beautiful place. They use Ace roasters, bake all their goods in house, and seem to be a friendly bunch of people. When they first opened, I wasn't a fan of their lattes. However, upon subsequent visits I can tell there has been improvement and the lattes now meet my standard. Deliciously creamy, with a beautiful foam and even latte art. \n\nWhen it comes to baked good, Woodrack does not disappoint! Their whoopie pies are a delight, and I noticed they are now serving soup and sandwiches, although I haven't been able to try these.\n\nThe one major downfall... they have limited hours, although they have slightly improved since opening. They are open until 6pm some evenings, but not open on weekends. I hope they do well, and are able to open on weekends, because I'd definitely become a regular.", "First time here and loving this chilled cozy boho vibe. This little gem opened yesterday and it's already getting tons of traffic. Loved the cup of YEG brewed Ace coffee and the croissant made in house. A line up working it's way out the door as we speak. Bathrooms are spacious and they even have change tables, great for mommies with their kidlets.", "The Woodrack Café officially opened their doors last week, a welcome addition to the McKernan and Queen Alexandra neighbourhoods just south of Garneau. 109th is a busy street, so there's no doubt that commuting Edmontonians have driven past the new storefront wondering when they could grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the space. It's finally here!\n\nI'm not sure why I was expecting a small shop, the corner unit is expansive with numerous seating areas. Catching up with a friend is ideal on the couch and in front of the fireplace; or perhaps a small table to set up a work- or study-space; or if you'd like to chat to co-owner Kristy (nicknamed Shammy by friends and family), sit alongside the bar and watch her make up your coffee.\n\nSince I entered through the 76th Avenue entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the \"Take a Book, Leave a Book\" shelf space, already filled to the brim with all kinds of reads. Next, the incredible reclaimed wood pieces from local Alberta farms, up-cycled as art and decor to display the Woodrack Café's homemade jewelry, antler art, and boho crafts which are all also for sale. Up-cycled wine glasses, mugs handmade in Victoria, if you like it, it's probably for sale!\n\nRounding up to the main entrance and counter, I got pretty excited to see a display case full of whoopie pies and with fall-inspired flavours to boot. Who wouldn't want a pumpkin pie, carrot cake, or chai whoopie to go along with their drink? The crazies that's who. Their menu online also states that puddings (dark chocolate salted, rice puddings, and bread puddings) will be available, as well as treats like duffins (so help me if spellcheck doesn't let that one through, it's a doughnut and a muffin having a delicious baby), brookies (a brownie with a big spoon of cookie dough!), and butter tarts. The amount of cross-breeding between pastries is enough to get you wide-eyed and drooling, all thanks to in-house chef Tracy, or Mama T.\n\nCo-owner Melissa was up front and center manning the front when I visited last Wednesday. With a background in business, the new development space was a perfect (but challenging) match for them to open up shop. Set out to launch in summer 2015, construction and tailoring the space for the kitchen became the main cause of their delay. I'd like to say though that it was all worth it, the open concept kitchen inviting and the details of the tin-tiled ceilings and wood-paneled floors all coming together to create a warm space.\n\n\nAlongside the whoopie pies and assorted pastries, The Woodrack Café is serving up two kinds of brews, local Edmonton roast ACE Coffee Roasters and one all the way from the east coast, Anchored Coffee from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Having never tried Anchored Coffee before, I'm excited to try the lighter brew next time I'm in Woodrack! For last week's visit, I opted for one of their espresso-based drinks instead. The Danesi Caffè (Rome, Italy) latte is always a sure way to go!\n\nOatmeal and soups are available for now but Woodrack hopes to add sandwiches and heartier meals as they ease their way into things. Currently their hours are Monday to Friday 7:30am to 4:30pm, with goals of extending their hours to 7pm to accommodate the after-work crowd and weekends. Baby steps for now, but I'm hopeful it will happen soon.\n\nWith only a few days tucked underneath their belts, it was a pleasant surprise to see the space full of people and from different walks of life, a concept true to what Kristy and Melissa had wanted. They hope to bring people in, and stay in, never feeling rushed and pressured to leave. Fostering a sense of community is, in all honesty, one of the measures of success for a café! By the looks of how things were going, I could tell this wasn't a grab-and-go kind of space. You can also tell that The Woodrack Café had thought this through, there's built-in plug-ins at the counter!\n\nIf you've been following me, you'll know that I am always excited for a new café and quadruply (not a word, I know) as happy when it's a local business supporting local products and art! I also love spaces where I can relax, order a drink and a bite to eat (every hour, of course!), and type away willy-nilly on my laptop. Here's to another fantastic space and to the expansion of Edmonton's coffee culture! Can't wait to come back to The Woodrack Café check out their menu expansions and a new brew. I'm also crossing my fingers that there will be a duffin or brookie waiting for me. Or even a tarduffin. That's a butter tart-muffin, obviously.", "Great atmosphere in this place. I had the roast beef sandwich - excellent by the way, it had large thick pieces of roast beef - and a cappuccino. Both were awesome. A great place for lunch!", "Nice clean, cozy cafe with friendly staff. Lots of seats and easy to find parking. Cappuccino was good but the milk temp a little hot and milk type was not what I requested. Looking forward to upgrading it to a 5 star on my next visit.", "Amazing place for coffee, lunch, or both. So lucky to have this in Edmonton. The haystack cookie was a hit. Looking forward to my next visit.", "As others have said, the decor in this cafe is ON POINT. It's so aesthetically pleasing, with a beautiful contrast between grounded pieces and whimsy. Such a good atmosphere to look at. \n\nThe food and drinks, however, were not at the same quality as the decor. The latte I got was just OK. It got really gross and gritty towards the bottom, so I couldn't even drink the last inch of my drink. Also the foam was subpar. The whoopie pies looked delicious so we grabbed two: a sweet and a savoury. The savoury (Chives and Feta cheese, I think it was called) was disgusting. It had a weird chemically taste that vaguely made me think of death? I had a bite and then couldn't eat anymore because it was so awful. The sweet (chocolate) was also just OK. I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't order it again either.\n\nAll in all, I felt disappointed. I wanted to love this place because it was so damn pretty, but the food just isn't walking the walk. (also, parking can be tough to find). Hopefully they can fix their recipes and make their insides match their outsides.", "Welcoming warm decor with just as welcoming and warm staff. I meet friends there as often as I can.", "The Woodrack Cafe is a new hipster boho-chic cafe on the corner of 109 st and 76 ave on the main floor of a big medical building. There are a few spots in the back for parking, and some free street parking surrounding the area, but parking can be a bit hard to find.\n\nThe employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I asked about about soup recommendations (they both sounded amazing that day - zucchini bisque and cabbage roll soup!) and they were able to easily tell me about the texture of the soups and specific spices that each of these homemade creations contained.\n\nThe ambience is, like I said, very boho-chic. Huge dreamcatchers in the windows, antlers adorning the coffee tables as centrepieces, patchwork pillows and crochet blankets strewn on comfy couches, a take-one-leave-one bookshelf. Staying and chilling is encouraged.\n\nThings are definitely on the more expensive side for the gourmet product, though. My soup cost 8.50 for a serving size that was quite small (not even up to the top of a medium-sized takeout soup container). I'd pay that if I was sitting down at a fancy restaurant, but I think it was at least a couple dollars overpriced for a cafe. It WAS tasty and unique, though - I was worried that the zucchini bisque was going to be a bit bland, but it actually had a spicy (but not too spicy) kick! Drinks are similarly priced to Starbucks, $3-6 for most things.\n\nWhen I have a day off (boo for only being open during regular work hours) I'll come back for their dreamy sounding snacks/desserts!", "Anchor Coffee (top notch)....enough said. Pretty cool atmosphere too." ]

[ "This newest addition to Reno's galaxy of Mexican cuisine opened just as 2013 was making its last bows, and I think they're off to a pretty good start. I've watched this space during its remodel over the past year, and for a while wondered whether Bistro Habanero was coming or going. I actually had to create this Yelp page in order to write a review ... it's that new!\n\nAs it happened, I was putting gas in my truck (it's next-door to a gas station I frequent) and noticed the lighted OPEN sign in the window. Even though I wasn't really hungry, I wanted to check the place out and purchase a nibble to take home. Although there is plenty of Mexican fare on the menu, they also have some Salvadoran cuisine. I ordered two of the most common Salvadoran favorites, pupusa rebuelta and pupusa queso y loroco, and hurried home to share them with my wife.\n\nIn a word, OUTSTANDING! In particular, I really enjoyed the pupusa rebuelta and will definitely be back for more. The service was very friendly, the place is clean & nicely decorated, and in general was a far cry from what I had expected during their lengthy build-out. \n\nOn a repeat visit I tried the ceviche tostada special and a stacked quesadilla. The ceviche gave me pause because it's the first time I can recall having this item with refried beans in the mix. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how well these flavors combined, and the half-moon fried tortilla was light and crispy underneath all the fish, veggies, and sauce. The stacked quesadilla (meat & veggies & cheese, oh my!) was totally tasty, and my wife enjoyed the mix of tacos she ordered. Everything tasted very fresh, including the tortilla chips.\n\nP.S. they're open for breakfast Mon-Sat at 6:30am (10am Sun). Might have to make a detour on my way to work!", "I have now been here twice and think I may have finally found my goto lunch spot. My first visit I had the Carne Asada Burrito. To me Carne Asada is very easy to over cook and is one way I gauge how good a Mexican Restaurant is. I was impressed. The meat was extremely tender and flavorful. It came stuffed with rice, tasty refried beans (another sign of a good Mexican restaurant), pico de gallo and a nice large scoop of sour cream. Not like many places that you have to ask for extra and are lucky to get a little all at one end. They also have a salsa bar that had a very good tomatillo salsa. \n\nToday's trip I decided to have the Papusa the girl at the counter recommended and a Carnitas taco. The Papusa was amazing. Plus it came with the great sauce to dip in. The Carnitas taco was just as good. The taco had nice big chunks of well flavored carnitas. They reminded me of the Carnitas my Grandpa would get when I was little growing up in LA. Oh and because it was so good, I grabbed another burrito to take home for later.\n\nThey do have a few other items on the menu I can't wait to try like the Salvadorian Tamales that are wrapped in Banana Leaves instead of corn husks. If they are even half as good as the ones my Grandma used to make, I know I have found my goto lunch spot.", "Delicious! We went there on Saturday after a friend had posted a picture of his salad on Facebook. We ordered two salads and 3 tacos (Carne Asada, Pork and Chicken) and let me tell you, they were delicious and very reasonably priced. We were also pleasantly surprised by their salsa bar and that our meal included chips and salsa given how inexpensive everything was. All in all, this place is small but quaint, great customer service and we will def be back!", "Bistro Habanero is a recently opened taqueria with a Salvadorean twist. I've tried it twice, and I will be back for more! Great tasting fresh tacos, tamales, papusas and burritos. The place is immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, leading to a very pleasant lunch or dinner experience. They're open for breakfast and I intend to try that in the near future.\n\nI live right down the street from this place and go by this intersection (Pembroke and McCarran) almost daily on my way to the Hidden Valley dog park. There was at least two other restaurants in here over the years, including a Quizno's, and all have failed. This is just not a good location ... next to a busy gas station (usually among the lowest gas prices in town). This is basically an intersection to rush by rather than stop. I've been watching Bistro Habanero trying to open for about a year now -- apparently that had financial restrictions that kept them from opening in a timely manor, (my guess anyway). They spared no expense on the interior build out - it really is a pleasant place in which to dine.\n\nI have some experience in the restaurant business and this place has amateur written all over it. The food is really VERY VERY good, so taste is not my concern in this regard. I will be patronizing the hell out of this place. My concern is the viability of the business. The pricing is completely screwy - way under priced for the quality and quantity served. And the pricing doesn't make sense - an excellent taco for $1.50 and yet a combo plate of two tacos and rice and beans for $8.00. $5.00 for rice and beans? The times I went, the place was almost empty and yet there were 5 employees in attendance in a place that seats about 20 - 25. These are all signs of a lack of business acumen that may force a closure in the near future. I hope not.\n\nPerhaps the low prices are a loss leader to build business and the pricing will adjust as business grows. All I know is that you can't sell such a great pork papusa for a buck, or a really nice grilled shrimp taco with mango salsa for two bucks and expect to stay in business for long. I'm guessing that they are running a 50% food cost and a 40% labor cost and that is a recipe for failure in the restaurant business. \n\nReally hope they succeed!", "Yum. I thought this place would never open since it looked to be under construction for a long time. I am glad it did. Do not be fooled by the location, a storefront that used to be a Quiznos. The place is small and looks on the surface to be a fast food stand. However, when you dine in they bring your food on a china plate with real silverware and deliver it to your table (you order at the counter first). I had the Chile Verde burrito, which was lightly grilled and came presented on the plate cut in half, with chips. A bit pricey at 8 bucks but worth every bite. The flavors were bold and well balanced. I will eat here often if they keep up this level of quality.", "Terrific little place that finally opened. Great fresh Mexican and Salvadoran food at very reasonable prices. However, it is not fast food. The food is prepared to order and, while the place is not large and only has seating for about twenty people, it can take a little while to get your order. We ordered the shrimp tacos which had grilled shrimp and it took about ten minutes to get the order. They do a lot of take out business so order ahead.\n\nBetter like cilantro, tho, as it appeared that almost all the items contain it in one form or another.\n\nNicely decorated in a simple, industrial style with galvanized siding for the walls, a Mexican roof tiled lean-to over the food prep area and epoxy finished pine tables. Real dishware and silverware.\n\nOne recommendation for them is to bus and clean the tables as soon as the diners leave in order to present a more attractive appearance.\n\nGo, enjoy, keep going so we can keep this neighborhood gem open.", "Stopped by this week for take out and my husband and I were very impressed. I had the chicken tacos which were well seasoned. We fought over my husband's chile verde burrito, it was excellent. Salsa verde included was also great. Food was fresh, made in front of you. We will be back for sure.", "Walking into this place I was instantly impressed. Very clean inside with a fun atmosphere. What I really appreciated was an open kitchen so you can see what's going on. Food was super fresh and full of flavor. Great little eat spot that I will frequent often.", "I went back and tried the breakfast. Not so good. I had the Huevos with Chorizo and they got the order wrong and sent out Huevos Rancheros. That went back to the kitchen and the right order was brought out - about a half hour wait for my breakfast. OK, no big deal, mistakes happen and I accept that. No reason to ding them on that.\n\nBut the food wasn't very good. The chorizo was that cheap really greasy kind - OK, so now I know what not to order. But the grilled potatoes were raw and the tortillas were few and cold. The beans were very good, however, with a generous amount of queso.\n\nI love their lunch but breakfast does not seem their strong suit.", "I'm always in search of new food places to eat and try avoiding restaurant chains at all costs. When this place moved into town, I knew I had to check it out. Right off the bat it was really cool to see that it was a family run place; with who I assumed to be the dad, walking through the dining area checking on everyone's food and cleaning up tables. The menu wasn't over whelming, but offered plenty of choices. I'm a sucker for the traditional tacos. When we ordered, we were also able to customize the order (no this, no that, that on the side, etc.) and they were very accommodating. And sure enough, the food was great! Authentic tasting and delicious. \n\nThe first time I visited Bistro Habanero it was a slower evening and the service was was great. The second time, I hit the lunch hour where there was a line almost out the door. I was worried that the line would take forever and the food would as well, but I ordered and sat down anyway. To my surprise, the food came out quickly and was perfect. \n\nPlease, Please check this place out if you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food." ]

[ "I don't know how busy this place gets at nights or even on the weekend. I've only been here for lunch, their famous sandwich w/ fries in it. The sandwiches get messy so be prepared. I've had many of the sandwiches and they're all pretty good. I usually ask for the fries on the side per if you had the fries inside the sandwich, it get REAL MESSY. hahaha When you eat their sandwhiches you can feel your arteries clogging and you must expect to do nothing for the following few hours due to the food coma. However, the sandwiches are all pretty good. It's not to die for, but it might kill you if you eat too much of them. =P\n\nI did notice some good happy hour specials, so maybe i'll go check it out. The happy hour menu is set daily; they have one special going on every night (I think it's Sun-Thurs).", "This place is known for their humungous sandwiches with fries in them. Yep, fries inside of the sandwich. It actually tasted pretty good even if it was a bit difficult to eat. But you can't wimp out and get your fries on the side, that would be defeating the purpose, wouldn't it? They're really good steak type fries and you've got your typical sandwich meats to choose from. At around $7.00 a sandwich, it's not that expensive either.\n\nPiranha's wasn't very crowded when I went in for lunch during the week so service was great. The waitress was fine, and the bartender (who also seemed like an owner) was very friendly as well.\n\nSo unless you are really hungry, getting one of these sandwiches is probably just a novelty, but it is tasty and worth trying out. I've never been in after work or at night time so I can't say what the crowd is like then.", "Piranha's Bar and Grill on 2nd street has a great dive bar feel to it with some fantastic specials. \nWith a happy hour running from 4-8 on weekdays it's a great place to go get some food and enjoy their 2-4-1 well drinks. They also have tasty fries and sandwiches and I hear their burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, and coleslaw are also good. However, their big claim to fame is their Free Wing Fridays during happy hour, where you can pick from 11 different wing flavors: Code Red (the spiciest of the bunch), Caribbean Jack, Chipotle, Parmesan and more. Being a dive bar and all the place can get smoky and boasts of the usual arcade game staples like Golden Tee and a game I had never seen before called bags that is video corn hole (which I find hilarious because the actual game corn hole is ridiculous in itself, and I can't believe that there is a video game dedicated to it.)", "I bought a round of seven drinks for $16.50. SIXTEEN FIFTY. Niiiiice.\nI also bought a pack of smokes from the machine for seven bucks. \nBecause I am an asshole.\n\nDirty, dark, smokey and cheap.\nI liked it.", "French fries and Cole slaw on a sandwich? Turns out to be a great idea! The atmosphere is super-casual. The staff are friendly and helpful. Best cole slaw I've ever had! Yum!!\n21 and up only.", "A couple friends and I were in Nashville for CMA Music Fest 2010 in June. Eating wasn't a priority of ours. Meeting artists, seeing them perform & drinking beer were all we cared about, but I guess we had to eat at some point during the trip. We were walking around downtown and decided to stop at this little hole-in-the-wallish spot because it had a big picture of a huge sandwich that looked deeelish.\n\nI got the Papa Pete's Chicken, which is grilled chicken smothered in blue cheese and buffalo sauce and stacked with fries & sweet and sour cole slaw. It was gooooood. In fact, I'm craving for this right now. Only \"warning\" is if you think you're gettin crumbled blue cheese in the sandwich (as I was), you'll be in for a surprise. I was eating my sandwich wondering what this little tanginess was...after devouring 3/4 of my sandwich, I realized it was blue cheese sauce/dressing. Even so, I really liked this sandwich.\n\nOnly complaint..they should fix the restroom door. Not everyone wants to stand there and keep watch while someone is using the potty.", "Well I freakin love overstuffed sandwiches. I first tried the original Primanti Brothers sandwiches while visiting up north for work and immediately thought man this would be awesome here in Nashville. Of course that was a few years ago, and since then we've got our on version in Piranha's. The only sandwich i've tried is the Titan Cheesesteak and it was mighty tasty. It did have a bit more slaw on it then i would like, and others in our party also agreed. It didn't bother me since i could just take off the excess. Plus i also added a fried egg for good measure (totally recommended) The fries were great, and the slaw though abundant was a little too sweet. The experience was great and of course unique, so i give it strong 3 and even though it didn't knock my sock off, I will be coming back...", "Buyer beware, besides being an awesome \"dive\" bar, this is a steelers bar. I believe the owner is a Pittsburgh native hence the pittsburgese style sandwiches (overstuffed with lots of coleslaw and French fries). \n\nI went here a few Sunday's ago to watch football and cure a hangover and I'll have to agree with other yelpers- the food was fried goodness that had my stomach doing flips for a few hours. I thought the staff was super friendly- despite my hatred for the black and gold. The prices were on par with the food/service, I can't wait to try it again!", "Pretty cool place. Smoking is allowed. So if your not a smoker this place might not be for you. The place had an interesting menu. They serve, typical bar food, hamburgers, club sandwiches and heavy poured drinks from the bar. The cool thing is, is that every sandwich/burger/sub you order has cole slaw and french fries on it. Reminded me of some food network show. Also they have the 10 lb cheesesteak challenge. I looked at the leader board. Noone has ever won. 1 hour, no bathroom breaks, no help, no vomiting. 50$if you lose. $100 if you win, which i doubt you can win. Overall great service, bar atmosphere, decent food!", "Hidden in the tourist madness of Lower Broad, Piranhas is a nice little hot spot for local action. \n\nThere are all sorts of aspects of Piranhas that I dig. Such as, they allow you to make yourself at home (within reason), the prices are very reasonable for the area (great specials), the staff is welcoming and interactive, the food is damn good (\"Piranha\" your sandwich), lots of local industry people, and they play sports on the tvs. \n\nThey also have a juke box that has a good variety of old and new songs. There is a cigarette machine (you can smoke here). You can combine tables if you have a group. The staff serves as both bartenders and servers. \n\nLocal!" ]

My husband had the cheese pizza and it was pretty good.\n\nGreat setting to get together with friends, plenty of room to visit.", "We were in the area doing some shopping and decided to give this place a try because we had a coupon. We're fans now.\n\nWe ordered two pizzas. The Barbeque and The Special with a few substitutions. No garlic on The Barbeque and no onions and sausage on The Special (which makes it our standard so that we could get a god comparison between all the pizza places).\n\nThe Barbeque was Dear Hubby's favorite. It had a nice kick to it and to me it tasted like it had a bit of an Asian influence on it, maybe in the sauce.\n\nThe Special was very good. The crust here is nice. Thin, crispy and yet tender. We took the leftovers home and these may have warmed up better than any other leftover pizza we've ever had.\n\nWe'll definitely be going back for more.", "While shopping in Cool Springs we needed somewhere to eat and remembered how much we love Boscos, but then decided we should try something we haven't had before. I suggested this place because I'd heard they had changed from Guidos and started their own brewery. \n\nWe opted to do the sampler of beer which consisted of 5 beers in 4-5oz glasses. Not bad. I don't care for Hefeweizens or IPAs, but I will say this was the best Hefeweizen I've ever had and the IPA wasn't terrible. The other three beers were great! There was a pale ale, an amber, and a darker beer. Our waitress said there was a porter and an oatmeal stout they didn't have in season yet, so I'll definitely be going back to try them!\n\nWe split the \"florintine\" pizza. It was good, but not the best gormet pizza I've ever had. But as I'll be going back to try the other beers, I wouldn't complain to eat while I was their, either.\n\nI recommend this place. We went for lunch, so I'm not sure how crowded it might get at night. Check it out if you happen to be in the area.", "We had went to a movie at the nearby Carmike Cinemas and decided to check out what was nearby... as beer fans we decided to give the new Cool Springs Brewery a try. Once inside, we headed for the bar (we'd been here once before when it was Guidos). It took awhile for us to get the bartender to come over to us... she was busy talking with a group of guys. Once we did get her attention, we'd ordered a beer, but one of the \"guys\" yelled something out to her and she left our beers where the tap was and went to talk to him... not great. \n\nOnce we finally got our Fatback Amber's... they were pretty tasty. We were hungry for lunch and we drank our entire beer + 10 minutes before we could get the bartenders attention (and for the record... the only people in the bar were the 3-4 guys she was talking to and my husband and I... so it wasn't busy). We finally got a menu and I asked her to just wait a second because we wanted to order... we got the white pizza (something we'd had before when it was Guidos... and loved) and two more fatback amber's. \n\nAbout 20 minutes later we got our pizza.... and it wasn't what we'd remembered. The pizza was bland and didn't have nearly enough pesto or ricotta.\n\nIt took us another 15 minutes after we were done with our pizza and 2nd beers to get her attention and get our check. It was getting pretty annoying. \n\nWe really did like their beer and the location/decor/vibe are all good... but the service and the pizza left a lot to be desired. I'd like to say we'll be back, but I'm not certain we will, and it makes me sad because they have a lot of potential to make it fantastic... but right now they're missing the mark.", "I did not think that this place would be as nice as it was. When we walked in around 8pm on Friday, it was poppin with people! There were multiple people waiting to be seated, but for some reason are party of 2 got seated immediately... It was quite nice. We were seated in the second floor of the restaurant. Its a really cool area, completely open to the whole restaurant, just up above everything. \n\nThere was a guy playing live music on the lower level. He was covering all the routine top hits. He was half way decent at his job. We ordered the calamari appetizer to start, and the 14in meat lovers pizza. The calamari was quite tasty. It had banana peppers mixed in with it??? That was surprisingly a good combo! The calamari came with a little bowl of marinara type sauce with large chunks of tomatoes in it. Not bad at all. The pizza was not the best pizza I have had, yet not near the worst pizza I have had. It was a little salty for my taste honestly. \n\nThis place was a fun environment if your looking for a busy bar/restaurant type of place to have fun on the weekend or week day. They also brew there own beer here as well. They have a huge brewery set up in the restaurant. I think It would be cool to be there grabbing a bite to eat as the brew master is hard at work mixing the hops! If your a beer fan this is the place for you! They do sell large gallon size to go containers of your choice of fresh brewed beer. You can also bring your container back in for a refill when ever you please : ). \n\nOverall this place was fun, tasty, and unique! I highly recommend it!", "I go to a micro brewery primarily for the beer. The beer here is OK -- not bad, but not outstanding. In fact, the Fat Back Amber is the only one that I really care for. However, this may change with time; making beer is an art and I will continue to come back and see if the beer improves. It is a good spot for happy hour -- on my visits, there has been a pretty large after work crowd on weeknights. There are also some happy hour food specials. The service has been efficient and friendly. The pizza is good too; I believe it's the very same pizza that this place served when it was Guido's Pizza.", "I really like their beer, even get the growler. The only thing I have tried there was their BBQ pizza. It is SO good. Has a kick to it. Little pricey for the pizza but well worth it.", "If you enjoy a great craft beer, I'd highly recommend Cool Springs Brewery. My favorite beers, at the moment, are Pecker Wrecker and Pile Driver, which are both a bit hoppy.", "I was excited when I heard there would be a new micro brew in the Nashville area. I put it off for a long time, for the simple fact is I never have any other need to go to Cool Springs, and I still don't! The server was really nice, the pizza was average, and the ambiance was there. However, I can get that at a hundred places in Nashville. It just comes down to the beer isn't that good. I tried the porter first, and I was okay with it, not worth the 20 mile drive from Nashville. We then tried the pale ales, the IPA tasted metallic, and the red was under carbonated (which the waitress warned us about, so our bad on that one). We brought a growler with the intention of taking some home for a night cap, but we just stopped for a sixer on the way home instead.\nIf I lived in the Franklin area I would probably go there, but I am happy with my Blackstone and Bosco's in town." ]

I wanted to be there for the grand opening to see if it would live up to the hype. When we got there there was a line out the door already. Once we got in and ordered things went very well. \n\nWe ordered the big dippers (pancakes) and a billy the kid. The pancakes were medium sided disks good for just dipping into the syrup. The billy the kid was a egg sandwich with a thick sausage patty covered in cheese and chili all on a ciabatta bun. We also ordered a side of chorizo patties and a made to order fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything was amazing. The yolklore sign gives a definition of it as \"legendary breakfast\" and it totally lived up to it. \n\nThe staff was also amazing. The owner was bouncing around from table to table to check in on how things were going and if any one needed anything thing. All ages were there and it just was a great atmosphere. The only down side was the size of the place. It was a little cramped but then again it was opening day. I would imagine in a few years they will need to upgrade the size! But I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a wonderful and quick breakfast!", "We stopped in to check out the new breakfast hot spot in the Lou. When we showed up I had a feeling it was going to be good, there was a line out the door and to me that's a good sign. We walked into a fun atmosphere, ordered and sat down. When it came out it looked so good, the second I took a bite out of the biscuits and gravy I knew I was in for a treat. Best biscuit and gravy I have ever had. Every single thing my wife and I ordered was beyond amazing and not only that it was all fresh. Everything they have is locally grown and sourced. NO frozen food here. If your looking for a great place to start your day this is it, if you don't live close its worth the drive. We will be back!!!", "I've been waiting for this one to open since the spring when I was at one of their pop-ups. Place is cute and quirky and the logos and branding hint at what's going to be on your plate. It's a fresh take on classic breakfast. I got to taste their seasonal beet smoothie which was light and refreshing. The house made gooey butter cake was A-Mazing. It was sweet and dense and it will make you come back all on its own. My breakfast date and I both ordered the Gravy Train (biscuits and gravy.) The biscuits were soft but stood up to a really tasty sage sausage gravy that managed to be not too heavy on a sweltering St. Louis July day. Service is cheerful and friendly. Of course I'll be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!", "The Nest Egg was Eggceptional!!! My husband exclaimed over the Gravy Train and he never exclaims about anything. The Gooey Butter cake was amazing. Very nice staff, elegant dining room and the Chefs came around and asked how we liked it. It's going to be our go-to place for breakfast.", "Edited 11/11/16 - \n\nHad to update and add a star. Yolklore has earned it for sure. Excellent food and excellent customer service. Today I had the Nest Egg, which they made w/ scrambled eggs instead of poached, since I don't like runny yolk. It was delicious! And I love their salty skin potatoes! Staff is always super friendly, too - A+++!\n\n-----\nOriginal Review-\n\nModern but inviting atmosphere with super friendly staff. Community seating for the most part, which I'm not into, so I was glad the little 2-seat table by the window was open. Also they have a drive thru - great option for hungry kids!\n\nTheir menu is straightforward and they use local, fresh ingredients. They have smoothies, cakes, and a kids menu as well. You go in, order, and they call your name when your food is ready. (Same dining concept as Fuzzy's). We got to sample their gooey butter cake when we ordered, which was a nice surprise too.\n\nI had the MO greens salad w/ goat cheese. Felafel was great, greens were fresh, the goat cheese really rounded it out - that's an extra but highly recommend adding it to this salad. House-made lemonade to drink - fantastic and refreshing as well. No complaints!\n\nMy husband had the traditional breakfast. He said the bacon was the best part; overall it was ok and could have used more gravy. \n\nYolklore is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood. Don't bring your lunch date to dine-in, but the food is worth tasting, so drive thru and picnic instead.", "We went here on opening day knowing it would be busy and it was! But the service was great, we ordered and got our food very quickly. Everyone that we meet with was super friendly and efficient.\n\nI got the Classic Breakfast with two eggs scrambled with cheese. They were really good. It also included the Biscuits and Gravy. I would have liked a bit more gravy since the biscuit was definitely a good size. The gravy was very good. It also came with a side of bacon. They bacon was thick cut and not wimpy which is what I like. It also had a good flavor. One of their other sides was Chorizo sausage and I tasted a bit of it and it was good but very spicy. The other item on my plate were the potato's. They were okay but I think they could use more seasoning or something to make them a bit better. \n\nAlso as we were coming in I tried the Gooey Butter cake and it was excellent. I look forward to going back and trying some of the pastries!", "Awesome new little breakfast spot in Crestwood! We really enjoyed our first time. Great atmosphere, excellent food, super friendly staff, highly recommend! The Yogurt Parfait was delicious! As well as the crispy smash potatoes! And everyone I was with loved their food as well. AND even though we didn't use it, they have a DRIVE THRU!! Awesome perk! 5 stars for sure and will be back soon :)", "Super happy to have a new breakfast option in St.Louis. not sure why this place was so hyped for so long. not any better than any other place in town average at best. This establishment is way too small which I'm sure will be corrected when the average food and high prices take effect. Now for the best part of the visit the egg was cooked perfectly 100% perfect. Everything else was just ok. can't really tell if it's out of the box or made from scratch. other than the window into the kitchen. I would definitely avoid this place on Saturdays and Sundays for the next 3 months because it is it's like 15 people comfortably. And community seating sucks.", "Awesome breakfast and super quick! Try the pancake roll up or pancake dippers. The biscuits and gravy are also very good. Live having a restaurant like this close to home.", "I'm a little split on my feelings of this breakfast spot. The place itself is very modern and hip. However, I'm not a huge fan of all of the community seating since it does not leave very much space for me to enjoy my food. I ordered the Billy the Kid, which is a breakfast sandwich complete with a breakfast sausage patty, fried egg, cheddar, and meat chili all piled on a ciabatta bun. However, I had to completely take everything off of my bun because it was extremely hard to take a bite out of. The chili on the sandwich may have been too much for that chewy of a bread. Eating the sausage, egg, cheddar and chili without the bun was pretty tasty. A little too pricey for my budget for what you get though.

Thank you.\"\n\nF these guys -", "Very overpriced. Mostly sandwiches and bar food - the burger is just OK, and the fries were soggy. Went back and tried the chicken sliders, which had good flavor, but were greasy despite the chicken being grilled. Good service saves them from getting only 2 stars.

I liked the setup. Lots of TVs and little loungy private areas. I had the house burger which was incredible. It was messy and came with fries, picked veggies, potato chips and chutney.

Not sure what to think of that.\n\nOur waitress was friendly and our food came out really fast as well. What did I miss?? For a sports bar, this place had everything I would hope for.", "I'm pretty torn here... the food was perfect. I got a burger and was really pleased with it. The fries were decent - a bit softer and greasier than I would like, but decent nonetheless. I really liked the atmosphere and the music was decent (people at the restaurant can choose it from a virtual jukebox via an app on a smartphone). They had some good craft beers. Pricing was very reasonable for a hotel restaurant.\n\nMy biggest complaint? The service. The waiter was fast at first, but progressively got worse. I ordered a second beer and it sat at the bar for about 10 minutes before he brought it to the table - the excuse? \"She (the bartender) took so long, I forgot about it\". BS! It was sitting there waiting for you to come pick it up. Also, he came by and asked if I wanted anything else... I told him no, and he said he would be right back with the check. 15 minutes later, no check. He came by again and asked if I wanted anything... again, said no, and that I just wanted the check. 10 minutes later, I got the check, but no pen. I had to hunt him down to find a pen so that I could fill out my room details on the slip he gave me. Really lame. He was so distracted flirting with the waitresses there, he seemed to have forgotten about me. The manager didn't seem much better. She hovered around one table in particular for about 15-20 minutes and talked to the guys there. \n\nI'd come back probably because of the food, but, maybe I'll try sitting at the bar or something and see if the service is better.", "Very disappointed with the quality of food, and the overall experience. The individual service we had was great, I felt bad for our server as all of the problems related to the kitchen and overall minimal staffing. The hotel ambiance felt very dated, funny as it was newly renovated. Definitely not going back. Far too many great restaurants in New Orleans to choose from over this one.", "I stopped by Vitascope Hall a few times while at the Hyatt. The first was for a quick (late) lunch. The burgers there are spectacular and very juicy. The fries were also a delight. The staff was very friendly but while there eating I had to flagthem down to get my bill. Only complaint.\n\nLater we held a Tweetup at the bar. The gave us our own private room in the back and really showed us a good time. It was quite the enjoyable experience. Definitely a spot I would go back to.\n\nThe pizza you can order from here is pretty good as well.", "The food is good but the service is so poor! I am staying in the Hyatt, and it is conveniently located. Music is good, lots of sports, but the service is so inconsistent and so slow, that you are better off to just hit the streets and walk toward the French Quarter.", "I had a one night stay at the Hyatt Regency and decided to just eat in the hotel. Vitascope was perfect for what I wanted. Unlike some other reviews I did not find the music loud at all - in fact I barely noticed any music. I was there at 6pm so maybe that was why.\n\nThe local beer selection was decent size, and the jefferson stout I got was really good. To eat I went with the seafood gumbo and loved it, hot & spicy but not overwhelmingly so. Enough that every 5 or 6 bites a sip of beer was called for. \n\nThe service was fine, very friendly and nice, but I can see why other people found service lacking. They seem to have a 'no set waiter assigned to your table' policy, which in all but 1 restaurant I've been to with such a policy doesn't work well. But, as I was in no rush I did not mind the delay in being able to ask for the check. And really, it was maybe a 10 minute wait. The service reminded me more of a European style - you get your order and food and then they leave you alone to linger over your food and enjoy. Nothing wrong with that, just hard to adjust to if you're used to face-paced more Northeastern style of service.\n\nShould I find myself at the Hyatt again, or even nearby I will probably come back.", "The fish sandwich was OK but for $12 I felt it could have been bigger? Seemed a bit smallish. It is convenient if you are staying at the Hyatt but I do not see a reason to go there if you are not a guest of the hotel. Too many great places in NOLA. The place is neat with sports TV going on, modern decor, and a spiffy bar but it is just a hotel place, nothing to rave about. There are other restaurants at ground level of the Hyatt or near that are more reasonable for what you get to eat." ]

[ "Always concerned when the menu says \"fall off the bone ribs\" since those are overcooked according to any barbeque expert. They actually had some chew, although the outside of the rack was burned a bit from over caramelized sauce. The sauce was a bit sweet for my tastes but not objectionable.\n\nPulled pork was overcooked and mushy. Brisket had a smoke ring but no detectable smoke flavor and sliced too thin. They were thrown together into the same \"turn in\" box which mixed everything up in transport.\n\nPotato salad was good if you like eggy potato salad. Buttered corn was bland... needed seasoning. Grilled carrots and zucchini were OK but not memorable. \"Dinner rolls\" were more like sandwich rolls.\n\nOrdered takeout from the counter. Staff was friendly and food was delivered promptly.\n\nOverall, not on my list of favorite BBQ spots in Philadelphia area.", "I usually wait a few months before giving a new restaurant a try because every new kitchen needs to \"shake out\" serving and cooking problems. I made an exception with Something Grilled because I am a huge barbecue fan. This used to be a takeout only place in Honey Brook, and they have moved to Exton and opened their first restaurant. Getting to know a new market, and adapting to new staffing issues takes time. Having eaten takeout from here once, and eaten in once, here are my first impressions... \n\nMy takeout order was a rack of ribs with three sides and cornbread. The ribs were dry-rubbed and finished with a sweet Memphis style sauce with no \"heat.\" The ribs are baby-back, not regular pork ribs, and for baby-backs were quite meaty and done nicely. They did NOT \"fall off the bone,\" and had just the right amount of \"tooth\" necessary for good ribs. The sides were summer slaw, which was spectacular; competent potato salad, which was potato,milk, butter, and pickle relish style; and mac and cheese, which was suitably creamy and a little stringy with mild white cheddar. The mac and cheese would have benefited from sharp cheddar and a little cayenne; it was pretty bland.\n\nWhen I stopped by for lunch, I ordered the Carolina pulled pork barbecue sandwich with a side of ranch fries well done. Service was swift, but it was well after the lunch rush. I ordered ice tea, which was brewed (a good sign), and was given a basket of corn muffins and honey-cinnamon butter. The fries were well done as requested, and the sandwich was excellent -- stacked high with pulled pork with a light vinegar sauce and topped with summer slaw. The twist is that they bake a slice of mild white cheddar onto the bottom of the top bun. You barely notice it, but it does help hold the slaw onto the sandwich, otherwise a frequent failing with Carolina 'cue. \n\nIt's pretty easy to criticize a new restaurant. This one is worth giving a little time to shake out any difficulties.", "I was excited to see a local BBQ place move in and perhaps give Jimmy's some competition. I have eaten in/carried out 3 times since Something Grilled opened recently. \n\nThe BYO restaurant has a nice atmosphere inside. Not just tables, chairs, and lights like some others. Bathrooms were clean, albeit no baby changing station. Servers were obviously new and most had not taken the time to learn the menu or the food. \n\nCaroline pork BBQ sandwich was fantastic. Excellent slaw on my and the cheddar is a nice (if not traditional) touch. The bacon cheeseburger was very tasty with its cheese overflowing onto the grill and crisping around the edges. A bit greasy but very good. Properly cooked to medium. The brisket cheese steak was also very good, and I would only change the thickness of the brisket. It was too thin and cut like roast beef lunch meat. The buffalo chicken sandwich was adequate. Grilled not fried, and a bit thin and dry. Real blue cheese would have been nice vs salad dressing that was on it. The ribs I will skip next time. The half rack I ordered was dry and burnt on the outside. Really had to rip at them to get the meat off. Not huge either. The wings had a good flavor. I tried the BBQ, since I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. \n\nWhile the main dishes were very good overall, the sides really suffer. Aside from the excellent slaw and a very nice side salad, I have yet to have a good experience with any of the hot sides. The mac and cheese was literally the worst I've ever had, including kraft in a box. It looked nice with stringy cheese, but it tasted like milk. Literally zero flavor. Not even a speck of salt or pepper. They need a LOT of help. The cornbread muffins were not memorable and need to be warm rather than cold. The fries are also not season at all and are standard frozen, wide-style steak fries. Very ho hum. Some sea salt natural skin hand cut fries would go a long way to help. I was also a little disappointed with the chumpies. They sounded amazing but I would not order again. Once again, a little bland. The onion straws were a decent try, but were too soggy and greasy. They did at least have some salt. I have yet to try the beans, which is another prerequisite to have down pat for a BBQ place, but I'm not getting my hopes up. \n\nI will certainly keep visiting Something Grilled for their pork and maybe some brisket, and hopefully they can tone up their sides a bit in the near future.", "Atompshere is nice (western style decor) and quiet...not real busy on a Thurs nite. Brisket was thinly sliced like lunch meat I prefer brisket in thicker pieces or chopped Texas-style. Oh well. Pork bbq was ok I've had better but not bad for area since has no other bbq to compare against. Mac & cheese was so-so like other reviewers said it is bland. I salt & peppered mine up for flavor. Baked beans were delish though. Corn bread was dry and crumbly texture perhaps made earlier in the day and it became air-stale. Perhaps with a coupon (Clipper magazine) I'll go back and try their ribs.", "Really enjoyed our first visit to a much needed option in the area. Ribs were great! Carolina pulled pork with vinegar slaw was just right and the wings were yummy too. Excellent service, pretty good ambiance for the strip mall norm around these parts and gotta love BYOB!!! We will return!", "This is the most amazing BBQ in Pennsylvania!!!!!!!!!!! All the negative reviews are rubbish and I would like those negative people to open up a restaurant and see how truly difficult it is to be \"perfect\". They would not last a day because they would have nothing to offer! Anyway, lets get back to why I am writing a fantastic review.\n\nThis owner has really mastered the art of smoking meat and making everything from scratch. I have been there at least a half a dozen times since they opened four months ago and continue to highly recommend it to friends and family. I love everything from their cinnamon butter to their ribs. The menu has so many choices and you cannot go wrong with any selection. \n\nOne of the many perks about this place is the owner. Sal, the owner is a great guy who comes out to talk to customers and hold more than five second conversations. He truly appreciates any feedback and loves to talk \"shop\" from how he does what he does to just hearing about you. Unfortunately, you do not get that from many restaurants today especially when the owner is sitting at home collecting a check. That is not Sal! He is usually there from open to close and you can tell how much he loves what he does.\n\nI would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes authentic BBQ. To the people who do not like to get their hands all dirty or be full at the end of the meal, go elsewhere!", "Excellent BBQ! Went there for lunch today with my son. Had the open-face BBQ (pork). Instead of fries, had a side salad. Also, try the chili! All was great. There is also a nice touch with serving small corn bread muffins - which were fresh, moist and very good. The service was pleasant and attentive. More and more BBQ places are popping up; but I will definitely return to this one!", "Food was Amazing! The owner came out personally to go over the menu and made an excellent decision for me. Bringing my wife in shes from Texas and loves a good BBQ joint. \nFood was fresh well presented and Top Dollar flavor at bar pricing.. i will definitely be back for more.", "I have to say whenever I try new barbecue place, I go in with low expectations. This place while still not a top tier BBQ joint exceeded my expectations.\n\nPros:\n - Brewed sweet tea - a must in any good BBQ place\n - The chicken wings done BBQ style were quite good - large meaty, nice sauce.\n - Portions were good\n - meat quality for both the brisket and pulled pork were good.\n - Slaw was terrific\n - sauteed spinach was great\n - nice menu options for those in your party not fond of BBQ\n\nCons:\n - Sauce was of \"off the shelf\" quality - fake smoke too sweet - but I am picky and usually prefer a southern style tangy or mustard/vinegar based sauce.\n - Brisket had a nice smoke ring bot virtually no smokey flavor\n - Pork was moist and lean but lacking in any smokey flavor\n - Potato salad was bland\n\nThe staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and appointed comfortably. I will go back and try the Carolina style as the vinegar based sauce may be a better choice for me.", "Been here before food was o.k. This trip was not very good. My hope is that the Grillmaster is on vacation.\n\nBrisket was dry and bland. Yes it had a smoke ring, but there is much more to BBQ than a smoke ring. Smoked pork and beans seemed like Cambells pork and beans with some liquid smoke. Sauce thin and runny.\n\nUnimpressed this trip. Will try again in a couple of months to see if any better." ]

[ "I like the location of the restaurant, close to Dale Mabry and not to far from the Veterans Exwy. \nI like the decoration, the colors and the floor layout.\nDifferent options for the crust including gluten free; a lot of fresh ingredients to choose from. Salads are also available.", "So excited that Uncle Maddio's is in the area. There are options for the whole family including traditional, whole wheat, and gluten free crusts for small, medium, and large custom made pizzas and foldwiches, as well as salads.\n\nToppings are fresh and there are an abundance of toppings. They also have a chart of what is gluten free as well as vegan which is good for those that do not eaten some things.\n\nThe service is great, friendly, and helpful, as well as the owners.\n\nGrand opening weekend is now and there is still time to try their pizza for free or $1. It's a great and I'm excited to come back!\n\nP.s. Sign up for their emails for deals and a free birthday pizza!", "This is some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. The crust is crispy and fluffy, the sauces are all perfectly balanced, the pizza is made well and quickly, and the staff is extremely courteous. For the price this is some fantastic quality. I like that thy carry Woodchuck Cider, as that's definitely my favorite. The salad is satisfyingly fresh and the bottled beer selection is limited but accommodating. I came here opening day (yesterday) and as expected, I'm back again today. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if I came back tomorrow. So glad to have real good pizza in my neighborhood. Uncle Maddio's is some of the best food I've had in a while and if I could give it 6 stars I would.", "Well, I love the idea of fresh ingredients , pick as you wish !! You can chose your crust , they also have gluten free dough :) following by your favorite vegetables and meats. They also serve soup and salad , This place is amazing. I would 10/10 recommend Uncle Maddio's Pizza.", "Fantastic place! This just opened on Oct 30, 2016 and I stopped in today for lunch. It's an easy location next to Publix on Van Dyke. It's new, clean, and has a surprisingly large menu. There is an $8.99 lunch special which is a 6\" pizza with 3 topping and a side salad or soup with a drink. I had a Greek salad which was fantastic. It was fresh, made to order, and the dressing was delicious. On the pizza, I had spicy sausage, which had the right amount of heat. All the toppings were fresh, and displayed in a case for you to choose. The crust was the right amount of fluffy, crisp, and chewy (in a fabulous pan stretched way) and cooked perfectly. Ill update again once my children, pizza connoisseurs in their own right, have tried it. With the lack of quick service options in this area, I know it will be an instant hit. If nothing else, it's the perfect place to grab a salad to go on the way home from work. \nThe staff was very friendly and accommodating and seem excited to be there. Welcome to Uncle Maddio's!", "We first tried Uncle Maddio's in Tallahassee. It was awesome. Now they have opened one here in Tampa. I am so happy. It is great to be able to basically make you own pizza. The cookies are delicious and the service was good. I will be back.", "Maddio's has an interesting take on pizzeria. It uses the subway/chipotle way to order food. You walk up and pick toppings. I had the steak and blue. It was ok, it wasn't anything to go crazy about. Everything else was stellar. Service was great and fast. I even saw the owners talking to people and making them feel at home. The locale is very nice and has tv's for sports. It also has an outside area. Parking is easy since it is on a strip mall with alot of parking. I would come back to visit again and give it another chance. They just opened too.", "Recently tried this new eatery that's pretty close to home. I kept seeing Facebook ads and also saw that some fellow Yelpers had been here so figured I'd give it a try. The concept is very Chipotle/Moes-esque where you order whatever you want at the counter but then you take your number to your table and they bring your pizza creations out to your table. They also have a freestyle Coke machine, which immediately gets me pretty jazzed. \n\nI tried the Southwest Baja pizza on a regular crust for my inaugural visit and it was pretty decent. The crust was a good base to hold all the ingredients, but I didn't care for the sparse serving of chicken and black beans on my pizza. I think next time I'll go with the Spicy Italian on a different crust to get some variety and give it another go. \n\nThe service here was spot on from ordering to checking out. Luckily I had signed up for the rewards club so I had a free pizza on my visit. The owner/manager made her way to the table multiple times to make sure everything was good and was very welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try this place out again since I want to make sure to sample the Spicy Italian!", "Excellent, very fresh, great tasting pizza, highly recommend, much better than other local pizza joints", "We gave Maddio's a try last night. Our Go To pizza place is Grimaldi's at Citrus Park so we ordered what we usually get there. Standard pizza with pepperoni, pesto and roasted red peppers. We took it home whole then warmed in a 400 oven to revive. Pleasantly surprised how good it was compared to Grimaldi's. Too me the foundation of a good pizza is the tomato sauce and crust. Both were very flavorful. The pepperoni, pesto and red peppers were good too. We don't eat pizza too often so when we do we don't want waste a meal on a mediocre pizza. We'll have to try some of the other combinations which look tempting. Give Uncle Maddio's a try. We'll be back." ]

[ "I went there for the first night they were open to the public. I was alone and sat at the bar. The service was very good, especially considering it was their first night. I started with the Panzanella salad, which was a big disappointment. It was a very nice green salad with giant croutons, which is not a Panzanella salad. My main course was the gnocchi in a braised beef tomatoes sauce. It was excellent, although I missed the little ridge in the gnocchi. I had two glasses of the house red which was very good, They offer multiple pour sizes. The tab came to about $40, which I thought was a little steep. All in all a good first night. They said they would fix the Panzanella.", "The host staff was very rude and lied about the wait time. They said only 30 minutes but we waited over an hour. After I went to check on the hold up, the man was very rude and told me to hold on so that he could talk to his \"buddy\". We left and will never try this new restaurant again. Some advice: tell people the right amount of wait time for a table because people are hungry!", "We went with our three kids and we will definately be back. The service was great and the staff was very welcoming. We had the cheese plate, some cured meat, pizza and wine - found all of them good.", "After a hard week of laborious work my significant other and I decided to eat out. Our first choice came up short because of a temporary closure and then we remembered that this place had just opened up. Upon second thought we decided to eat in and ordered takeout rather then chance the unknown dress code of this recently opened Italian joint. \n\nBartenders seemed to be either completely bored or giddy from lack of tips from their week old employment. Just plain awkward to put it bluntly. \n\nMy first bite into the margherita pizza, immediately i could tell it was burnt. Not like the awesome crispy \"burntness\" from a coal or wood burning ovens... just burnt. We bought it as a split appetizer so we moved on to our entrees without going back. The Rigatoni Pizzaioli was flavorful and filling, not amazing but legit. The Chicken Picatta was too dry. You got butter on the side, which was well seasoned, but overall not enough liquid/flavor to help the already bland entree. I love garlic. I really do but if you're gonna put slivered garlic in an entree it needs to be slivers not chunks. If the knife cuts aren't up to par to make delicate slivers you should just chop/mince accordingly.\n\nAfter we had placed the order, but before we picked it up, we wish we had saved the experience for a time when we had the energy to sit in and enjoy a nice night out at a newly redone restaurant. That being said a sit down meal at Stella Rosa could be much different for you/family and could be enjoyable for a variety of people. In the end we both agreed that our money is better spent across the street when we plan a nice dinner date in the future. That restaurants name starts with an A and ends with an I, and is hands down the best restaurant in the greater area.", "I would not recommend trying this place for the next few months...we waited over an hour our reservation and then experienced an odyssey of one annoying problem after another....they were out of one of the appetizers we ordered ...not that big of a deal...then right as our main courses are about to be served someone comes and tells me they ran out of my entree. I had to reorder an entree as everyone else ate their meal( they were all feeling discomfort eating with me having no food) then my second choice comes and it is wrong! Very pricey for what you get...quality is so-so...I would go elsewhere .", "I believe I can sum up dinner at Stella Rossa's with one word - horrible. Between the food, the incompetent bartender and the arrogant attitude of the staff from hostess, to the wait staff (Dominque) and ultimately the manager (Lesley) there is nothing to recommend this establishment. You would do better buying a Stouffer's frozen dinner.\n\nThe night started badly when our party arrived at 5:30 pm on a Sunday. There were many open tables and the hostess attempted to seat us at the one closest to the door. When we asked for one of the open booths away from the door, she attempted to seat our party at the booth in the doorway. Finally on the third attempt, the clearly irritated hostess seated us away from the door.\n\nWith the arrival, we were informed that the olive appetizer was not available, nor were they able to make their signature Blood Orange mojito. When one of our party inquired whether the bartender could make an Italian spritzer, we were told he could. However what arrived was not an Italian spritzer, but a watered down version of what he thought was the drink (our waitress later informed us he looked it up on the Internet). When Lesley inquired what happened and was informed of the problem, she sullenly took the drink back to the bar and when she returned it was with a repeat of the same. When the client informed her again what was wrong with it and how to properly make it, she argued with him. \n\nThings got progressively worse with the entrees. My Caesar salad was the worst I've ever had (even hotel room service Caesar salads are better). There were only a few croutons, the dressing tasted foul and the cheese resembled Parmesan, but only in passing. Lesley was clearly irritated when I told her the salad was inedible and she walked away without even so much as an apology. From then on we were marked as a \"problem\" and our service became agonizingly slow to non-existent.\n\nMy wife's chicken piccata was a simply grilled, tough chicken breast slapped on top of a few strands of linguine and topped with parsley butter and a squeeze of lemon on top and 6 capers; another inedible dish.\n\nFinally in an effort to recapture the evening, the ladies tried to order wine, but when it finally arrived at the table after a 20-minute wait, it was the wrong wine. At this point, we asked for the check, which came in at a whopping $101 for drinks, appetizers and entrees for a party of four. There was no apology offered, no attempt to make things right, just an attitude that the staff thought this was our problem and not theirs. Lesley even laughed at us, and the table next door who also sent back their entrees. \n\nSo in short, besides the presence of good friends, the only thing that redeemed this night was the dessert we had at the frozen yogurt place down the street!", "I've given this two stars because the food is edible and it was all cooked properly, although it's not a pleasant experience and not somewhere I would return.\n\nBright interior space and freshly painted walls give a great impression when you first walk in...unfortunatley, that's the last good experience you'll have\n\nThe staff is clueless and walking around frantically, but no one knows what anyone is doing. There were 3 (THREE) hostesses working, all arguing about what table number a party was just seated at and trying to figure out their request to change tables...and too busy to help us immediately. Once we got their attention, we asked for a booth, and asked to wait \"about 5 minutes\", until they could figure out the current table problem. With less than 1/4 of the restaurant and bar area filled, there should have been no delay and no reason ONE of the THREE hostesses couldn't help us. A few minutes later we were told there were no booths available...and then we were led past 6 open booths to be seated at a 4-top table. Maybe they were reserved, but we were there for about 90 minutes total and not a single other table was sat meaning that all 6 booths sat empty (plus 1 more from a table that finished and was reset).\n\nOur waitress started off friendly, but was overly chatty, spending more time asking our friends son about school, what he liked, what grade (he's 14, not exactly a young child), favorite subject, etc, etc. It was like having dinner with my great aunt. She then spent 3+ minutes going over the Pellagrino flavored selections on the menu and how we are supposed to drink it properly...you'd think it was some crazy new drink we'd never seen before (maybe Downington is that rural that's it's new for them?)\n\nThe wine is served in a cheap tumbler like water glass...very European if you're drinking table wine in Rome, but a little low rent when you're drinking a $14 glass of wine.\n\nTo finish off our great service, the food came out and each course was served to the wrong person, and right after our apps were served, the same server placed another tables entrees down on our table.\n\nThe Calamari was actually good, we were told it was made fresh and the breading was light and not at all oily. Unfortunatley, the little bit of calamari we found on the plate was heavily overshadowed by the fried yellow pepper rings (which we initially ate mistaking them for calamari rings!).\n\nPear salad was good, but not great. The pears were kind of bland and it was a little light on the cheese, but the overall portion size was good.\n\nSpaghetti and meatballs tasted like store-bought boxed spaghetti with a watery and bland tomato sauce....how do you open an italian place without eing able to make a red sauce??? I shouldn't be seeing chunks of red separating and leaving a bowl of water for the pasta to sit in. Simple execution aside, there was no flavor at all to it...pretty much a watery and bland red soup the pasta sat in. The are three large meatballs, but they are under seasoned as well.\n\nGnocci with braised short rib was a little on the sweet side, served in a brown sauce. The gnocci tasted fresh made, but the sauce was a little overpowering, although it was one dimensional.\n\nThree of us ordered pasta and we had to ask for a grated cheese. The large hunk of cheese was grated with a corse grater leaving too large of chunks of cheese on top of our dish. After maybe a 1/2 tablespoon of cheese, the waitress started commenting on the \"mole hill\" of cheese and how we were using too much of it, etc....I'm sure she was just trying to be funny, but after spending as much time talking to her as we had each other, we were pretty sick of her commentary.\n\nDessert was served in small glass cups with 4-5 mousse-like options, you basically pick the glass(es) you want, no other options. If you've eaten at the owners Harvest restaurants, you'll recognize the process.\n\nInitially, this is a really cool space, but the execution is so far off, it's not worth your time. Maybe after they get the staff properly trained and settled, the service issues will be taken care of, although I'm more concerned with the failures in the kitchen department and highly unlikely to ever return for a second chance", "Not what we were hoping for...needs a lot of improvement across the board...food was average...service was challenged...etc. Hoping for a better experience as they figure this out...", "We went to Stella Rosa a week after it opened for a 5:30 pm dinner. They restaurant was not busy at that time, they wanted to seat us at a table for 2 but across the table was a booth for 2. I asked if we could sit in the booth, she had us walk back to the hostess stand and asked if we could sit there. It seemed really unnecessary, the hostess could have just quickly asked. \n\nOur waiter was friendly. We ordered the parma brushetta, it was really disappointing, It was a piece of toasted bread like a ciabatta with ricotta, some sundried tomatoes, and 1 piece of parma prosciutto. We did not like it. \n\nNext, we ordered salads which were fine, not a true pazanella though. I ordered the pasta with bolognese and my husband ordered the crab and linguini pasta. The food was bland, not well seasoned, or sauced, just mediocre. I tried to order a blood orange mojito but they were out of ingredients to make it. My husband tried to order a second Stella Artois but they ran out. I had a white sangria which was ok then I ordered a red sangria after I was told the blood orange mojito was not available. I could not get down the sangria, it was bad and didn't taste like a sangria. I asked the manager to remove the sangria which he kindly did. \n\nAfter a few days, I checked my bank statement and saw the pending charge for dinner. A few days after that, when the final amount posted with tip, I was shocked to see that Stella doubled the original charge. I left voice mail message for a manager to call me back, no one did.I was able to find the receipt and dispute the charge with my bank so I received the incorrect amount back. I was really upset that no one called me back and that the double charge occurred in the first place. I would not recommend eating at Stella, the food is bland and I know they are still working out service kinks but I have never been double charged at a restaurant before.", "The food was mediocre, food that you would usually eat at any Italian restaraunt. To start, the food is inconsistent. I received a pretty edible amount while my friend received one twice as big. It tasted alright. I ordered tortellini alla vodka and next time I'll order something different. The dessert wasnt worth it. I had a Nutella mouse with a drop of Nutella in it. And way too many people were standing around doing nothing." ]

A few people around us ordered salads and they looked huge. We really enjoy going to Papa Vito's.", "Papa Vito's is definitely one of the better places in O Fallon to grab a pizza that does not come from one of the chain restaurants. When Papa Vito's first opened a couple years back I was excited to give it a try. After several positive experiences I have no qualms about recommending this place to anyone looking for some good thin crust pizza. I've had several of their pizzas, peperoni with my son, the Monster which is their all meat pizza and quiet possibly my favorite their buffalo chicken pizza. For this pizza they substitute the pizza sauce with ranch and then layer on the Romano cheese and buffalo chicken. If you like wings, then you will like this pizza. The buffalo sauce is not too spicy, but has a great flavor. \n\nI really like the hometown feel of this place, their covered patio adds a nice space as the inside is pretty small. I like the fact they have Magic Hat #9 on tap and any place I can get a Fat Tire is going to make my list. \n\nI'm not near Papa Vito's as much as I used to be so the chances I have to stop in here are limited, but anytime I have a chance I will stop on in and enjoy some great pizza.", "This is good pizza but consider take out the place is really small.", "Our favorite pizza place in O'Fallon is Papa Vito's! We order about once a week for delivery and really enjoy the quality of the food.\n\nThe pizza is a thin crust, covered with a very sweet pizza sauce and lots of toppings. The quality of the ingredients is very good, as there is never grease on the top of the pizza. We typically get pepperoni, hamburger, mushroom and onion. However, the Buffalo Chicken and Double-Decker Peperoni pizza are unique and outstanding.\n\nWe also love the chicken wings, which are baked in the pizza oven, and not fried. (Tip: We have them send them through twice to make them extra crispy.) \n\nAlso, the house salad is excellent with very fresh lettuce, cheese, real bacon bits, pepperoni and homemade croutons. Their house dressing is a sweet Italian and quite good.\n\nThe restaurant is located in a great historic building in downtown O-Town and have a nice outside covered patio that can handle bigger groups. \n\nSometimes their delivery takes a bit longer than the other guys, but I think that is because they are busy and take a bit longer to make the food.\n\nI hope that Papa Vito's is the anchor for other downtown businesses for a long time to come!", "This pizza is AWESOME! But the best thing is that it's on the same street that I live on :) I'm not crazy about sweeter pizza sauce so I get their jalapeño sauce and it is amazing..... Not too spicy! Yummy!", "For me, pizza is about fifty percent ingredients and fifty percent atmosphere. Papa V's is in my top ten for both. \n\nIf a pizza joint hasn't had a sedan from the 50's visit it in the last week it probably isn't going to be to high on my list. Seeing a '55 Bel-air in front of Papa V's was a good omen for this comfy mom n papa pizza place. \n\nThe pizza is good too.. Thin crust, the sauce is not over bearing and they have every topping combo you can dream up. Options for every direction that the road travels.... Though I must warn the Carolina folks that there is no sweet tea.\n\nGood pizza, indoor/outdoor seating, in ol'town O'Fallon... My vote? A must try..\n\nPS.. The yelp options are old for Papa Vito's. They don't even have chocolate breadsticks anymore, much to the disappointment of my six year old daughter.", "I love the salads, the pizza, the toasted rav's, the chicken wings, & the wine. Amen, brother, let's have some more!!\n\nThe service during off-peak hours is excellent. The regular staff is VERY attentive. \n\nI recommend you avoid eating there when they are busy, though, because although the regular staff may be working, there seems to be a crowd of hormonal adolescents there, I imagine to \"assist\" during said busy hours, but even with the extra \"help,\" it still takes an average of about 50 minutes for someone to finally get tired of you staring at them, or waving at them, before they finally break down & stop gossiping/flirting with each other to come take your order. THEN, it averages about another 45ish minutes before you get your drinks, & *maybe* your appetizer. OR you might get them about 15 minutes later (for about an hour total wait time), only to have the pizza/main course placed in front of you 10 minutes after that, essentially rushing you through your salad or suffer a cold pizza/main course. You're extremely unlikely to get a drink refill, & if you do, it'll probably be the wrong beverage. Very uncoordinated, very undisciplined, & very uninterested in the customers.\n\nBut let me reiterate: OFF-PEAK HOURS I'VE HAD EXCELLENT SERVICE! VERY EXCELLENT SERVICE! AVOID THEM WHEN THEY'RE BUSY! LIKE THE PLAGUE!" ]

His food must have been raw too. He still is in bed and it's not because he had 2 glasses of wine - it was the fish. \n\nWe will not be coming back again.", "If it was available, I would give this place a quarter of a star. The food is terrible. The portions are very small and the prices are very high for what they give you. I had to beg for salt and pepper to be provided at our table. When we got the stale bread with a half a teaspoon of olive oil I should've known it was a bad sign. Did I mention the food was terrible... We ordered the lobster polenta which was bland as could be the salad was small and tasteless, I don't even think it had any dressing on it. We ordered two pasta dishes that look more like side dishes then entrées. Plus my pasta dish reminded me of my old Franco American and Chef Boyardee days. When the waiter came over and asked us how everything was I told him I wasn't very impressed and he said nothing. My advice is stay away from this place it's going to be out of business in a couple of months", "Stopped in for the first time last night for a quick appetizer and a glass of rose. The service was very good as were the meatball appetizers and pizza which I took to go. A solid wine menu. My server, Aerin, was exceptional and very knowledgeable about the wine and menu which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be back again to perhaps try an entrée or small plate.", "Very disappointed in this restaurant ! It was very noisy because of the cafeteria style layout. I ordered the Lobster Polenta, salad and Gnocchi. The lobster in the Polenta was chewy and had no flavor, the salad had no dressing on it and my Gnocchi was very salty. The portions were very small!! Can't believe they did not have salt and pepper shakers on the tables. The waiter asked if we were satisfied and I told him the food was not good. I was hopeful that he would take our criticism as not an insult, but to help them improve their business. Our busboy, Jack was very young and he was more business like and very personable! Thank you Jack! \nEC", "We ate here Saturday July 14, 2018. Greg the manager said they have been open only 3 weeks. \n\nWe were pleased with the décor, specialty cocktails, food, and service. This place has a modern open space design with lots of windows and high ceilings that ad to the atmosphere. We will absolutely return for another visit.\n\nThe special beet salad was crisp and delicious. For my main entrée I enjoyed one of the specials -- Halibut with cous cous and spinach. We also ordered a side of cauliflower and potatoes au gratin which was rich and savory. Finished off the meal with blueberry crisp. All round outstanding meal. I highly recommend coming here. Enjoy!", "If it was up to me, I'd give this place a half a star.\nThe food is terrible.

Steak and fish were cooked and seasoned well, but slow getting it plated and served. Nice atmosphere and servers were very professional. Ordered two whiskey on rocks first was fine but second one was pathetic- not much more than an ounce - $10., you won't see me soon.", "I have been here a few times over the past few weeks and have never left disappointed. The restaurant is beautiful, service is great and food is delicious! I have tried the meatballs, all of the pasta dishes, pizza, chicken and the sea bass...no complaints! The pappardelle with pork shoulder ragu was definitely the highlight. I have heard people mention that it is expensive, but you get what you pay for...I'd rather spend a bit more to get fresh ingredients and thoughtfully prepared dishes.", "Front end service was 5 stars and the space is elegant with an up scale feel. Wait staff was attentive and is well trained.\n\nBack end was 2 stars, because entrees took very long and were unimpressive. Flavor was good but short on some ingredients. The veal special was just a breaded fried veal cutlet; no cheese, no sauce. Pappardelle with pork had almost no pork; tasted fine though. Chocolate hazelnut tort dessert took very long to expedite and preparation was inconsistent. We ordered 3 - there were 5 of us at the table - and one came with chocolate shavings, while 2 did not. One was also stuck to the plate and the crust was like stone.\n\nThey did comp us on the dessert, which was very nice considering the wait. \n\nIt's a nice place and they obviously put a lot of thought and money into the space, cuisine and concept. I hope they can work out the defects and execute on their vision.", "We ate at Vela a few weeks ago, just a few weeks after it opened. There are a lot of positives about the place and I think with a few tweaks this can be a great restaurant. First of all the service was great and all the food that are table had was good quality. A common theme from the table was the ambience needs a little work. I love the open concept but they need to bring a little \"warmth\" to the atmosphere. We had the lobster polenta as an appetizer and it was really good. Everyone at our table had pasta dishes and enjoyed them. We had a side of meatballs that were phenomenal. I wanted the Sea Bass but the sold out of it that evening so that is a good side. I am anxious to go back and try the Sea Bass and Veal Chop. I look forward to returning." ]

You walk up to a counter and can order one of the menu burritos or build your own. I tried two. A tuna and tempura shrimp burrito with a classic spicy sauce then added cucumber, tempura onion, carrot, cilantro, and sesame seeds. It was very good. The second was even better, seriously good! A tempura shrimp and crab salad burrito with cucumber, spicy mayo, eel sauce, avocado and tempura onion. The prices are very reasonable and the portions in the fillings are nice. They have a good selection of proteins, fillings, and sauces. You can even do a bowl or sub soy paper on your burrito. I can't wait to go back and try more.", "Very good had the Tuna Burrito & they added some extra toppings I wanted such as carrot. Very clean place with nice staff will be back.", "Three letters: FAD. Went here on a Wednesday and it was dead. We tried a few things on their menu and nothing was working towards even a 2 star... The sushi was gross ( nothing fresh), the Vietnamese food was tasteless and no authentic. As for the sushi burrito we order it was a giant log of crap. The place looked almost the same as it was when it was the Oishii place. Some of the decor was reused from the previous owner's stuff...I can tell because I use to eat Uni from Oishii every week ( only they had it fresh back then). Don't recommend this place at all, don't waste your time.", "This was delicious. I ordered a sushi burrito with crab mix and tempura shrimp (cakes, carrots and spicy mayo with seaweed wrapper) for $11 and it was so tasty. They make the rolls and burritos with what you want, Chipotle style. The downside is that they definitely didn't have unagi (eel) which is what I truly wanted. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯. Oh well. It really is just like a giant sushi roll that's not sliced but for convenience sake, it does the job. Don't forget your prawn crisps. They're the best. Will definitely be coming here regularly.", "Just tried a sushi burrito for my first time and was completely satisfied. I tried the salmon burrito it was delicious and my fiance tried the original and finished the whole thing, I on the other hand had to take the second half home. The ingredients were flavorful and so fresh! I will most definitely be returning to have another burrito and to try the pho which is connected! Very cool idea a must try!!", "Great atmosphere, friendly staff and most importantly, amazing food. The layout is pretty much exactly like a Chipoltle or Moe's but obviously with different ingredients.\n\nI tried the Tuna Burrito (Tuna, crab mix, masago, cucumber, scallions and cilantro in seaweed wrapper) with the Spicy Mayo flavor and my girlfriend got The Original (tuna, crab mix, shrimp tempura, cucumber and asparagus in a soy paper wrapper) with spicy mayo as well. Both were outstanding and ended up being two meals for the both of us. \n\nAlso, I wouldn't just call this a tuna roll that hasn't been cut into portions. For the burrito's, at least, there was DEFINITELY more food than a basic roll.\n\nService was fast and to-the-point with friendly staff. The prices are relatively steep, but that should be expected for the quality of ingredients, which seem to be top notch.\n\nThere seemed to be a troll reviewer here that had nothing good to say about this place, and that review should be ignored.

I was skeptical at first but the sushi burrito turned out to be rather filling and delicious!

You order just like at a Chipotle, Moe's, or T-Flats. My wife and I both got the Original Sushi Burrito (mine with eel sauce, hers with spicy mayo). SO. GOOD.\n\nAlso got a side of edamame with our meal too. Hot and awesome! We'll be back (with friends) for sure.", "The food was fresh and delicious. The customer service was great.

It was so good we went back for 2 additional hits of their buttery cornbread. It's crack I tellya, crack. Why the hell else would I take a picture of it. The fried seafood is really good too. Go for lunch, if my memory is correct they have a different menu at lunch and I think they only serve their cornbread at lunch time.", "We found this place while walking around looking for a place to eat for dinner. \n\nI had the soft shell crab which was pretty good as was the gumbo. However, I would class it as just decent food which would not necessarily make me return. \n\nOr maybe I am just biased by the quality of the other restaurants I dined at while in New Orleans.", "Pretty standard really, even more so than being put into a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. (Anyone?). I mean, all due respect, I can get crawfish etouffe, gumbo, and jambalaya anywhere in the quarter, and equivalent versions at prices cheaper than here. Don't get me wrong, it was all good, but nothing exceptional.\n\nOne standout: the gumbo sampler. For 9 bucks you get a sample of 3 styles of gumbo: okra, file, and Creole. It's like a party in your mouth without the dreaded STD. If you're walking on Decatur Street, stop in. It's good for a bite.", "I give 4 stars....despite that manager! I have a problem with managers that have a commmmunist outlook. Armande is a brilliant chef, and his father is one of the kind-est men I have met. Great menu and a creole sunday menu served everyday.

Olivier's is s small family restaurant serving traditional recipes and new takes on classics. I enjoyed fried eggplant and a trio gumbo sampler and secretly wished the bowl had no bottom.

Not rude or anything, just way too scatterbrained to be a waiter. I think just about every other waiter in the place was great though. We did have a couple other waiters help out at our table though, and they were very good. \n\nFood - The bread was nice, but the butter was darn near frozen solid. The salads were great, and they come with every entree (always a good thing!). I highly recommend the Creole Vinaigrette. My husband tried the Spicy Blue Cheese and it wasn't nearly as good as the vinaigrette. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi, which was excellent. I later found out that it's actually the staff favorite. My husband ordered the Crawfish Etouffee and it was very, very bland. DO NOT order the Crawfish Etouffee if you decide to visit. Fix yourself some Zataran's at home for better flavor. \n\nDecor - This restaurant is very pretty. It's very elegant with beautiful chandeliers, dark woods, and pretty linen tablecloths. However, on our visit we saw everything from suits to shorts, so don't worry about having to get dressed up. Anything goes here. \n\nOverall - I would go back and just cross my fingers and hope for a better waiter. The shrimp scampi is definitely worth a repeat visit." ]

Los Compadres is the second business I've visited. \n\nThe big thing I've had to remember is that I'm used to eating Tex-Mex, which is very different than actual Mexican food. Los Compadres is likely best described as Mexican street food, although they do advertise having fresh seafood, mainly in form of ceviches and cocktails. \n\nI ordered the tacos. They come four per order (mini-tacos) and you have a choice of proteins (steak, chicken, al pastor, chorizo, etc) and whether you want flour or corn tortillas. The gentleman who took my order recommended corn, as this is most traditional. I agreed and when my order of tacos arrived, I wasn't disappointed. The kid in me smiled as the combination of meat, corn, onion, cilantro, and salsa verde made me feel at home while the Spanish conversations in the background provided the appropriate soundtrack. Everything was delicious. Where the food was concerned, I have no complaints. The only downside I'd note is they don't sell beer, which would've been lovely, but the agua fresa was comparable alternative. \n\nI highly recommend this little food truck, especially to those eaters from the southwest just seeking a little, nostalgic taste of home." ]

Morton's is a nice place, but it's definitely not somewhere I'd go on my own because it's astronomically expensive. Plus, for the price of the steaks, they should include side dishes. But no, everything is a la carte, which means that you have to shell out and extra $10-20 per side dish on top of your $40+ steak. Seriously, why force people to pay $10 for broccoli to go with their meat? It's not like the broccoli was anything special. Since the guy's parents were paying for dinner, I did my best not to order anything really expensive (but it all was), so I got a steak that came with crab meat and two pieces of asparagus on top, figuring that I wouldn't order any side dishes to keep the bill smaller. Not that it mattered - his dad ordered a bunch of sides and desserts for the table to share. I don't even want to think about how much the total bill was - it probably was more than what I made in a month.\n\nAnyway, my steak was good. The sides were okay. The dessert was good. But, honestly, I'd rather save my money by buying a nice fresh steak from the grocery or butcher, some sides, and then cook it at home myself. I like my own cooking better, and it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper. In fact, I think it would be cheaper to buy your own cow.", "What's wrong with KOP diners?

Morton's is the most consistent \"beginning to end\" steakhouse in the US.

Now that I was going to visit this place again and going to be paying my way with my own hard earned money, I was not in a position to compromise any of the important factors in a restaurant: décor, food, price and most importantly, service.\n\nI was invited to Morton's in K of P last Thursday with my friend and her husband to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Yeah I know what you are all thinking - I have no life. But it was Morton's and I thought my last experience was pretty good, so why not? So being the good little third wheel that I was, I made my way to the restaurant to partake in the anniversary celebration. The first thought I had as I pulled into the crowded K-of P parking lot around 5pm was \"Why would you put a Morton's Steakhouse right smack in the middle of an enormous mall; especially next to a discount shoe store?\" I continued, \"You are Morton's you should be standing alone --separated from the rest...!!!!\" The location seemed quite odd to me. Don't you all think so? \n\nOnce inside, the restaurant seemed quiet and unassuming. We walked into a dark narrow corridor and entered into the main dining room which was barely lit. The décor seemed stale and not very welcoming or warm at all. As I nestled between the 2 lovebirds in a corner booth, I perused the menu that had been eloquently engraved with a \"Happy Anniversary\". Awww. I felt out of place. I needed a drink. Where's the waiter?\n\nAfter about 10 minutes, the waiter appeared and right off the bat, I thought he was trying way too hard to earn extra moolah on his tip. Too happy and too pushy- a deadly combination for anyone in the food service business. I ordered a Thyme Lemon Drop Martini but failed to realize that it actually had pieces of really thyme sprinkled on the top of the drink as a garnish. What??!!! Who in their right mind thought to mix thyme with lemons in a martini? yukkk, bleck, ewwwww!!! \n\nI asked the waiter what was in the drink. He said it was a \"Thyme\" Lemon Drop Martini. Okay, thanks Einstein. I get it. I thought he could tell by my tone and the look of terror on my face that I did not like it. Did he offer to take it back? No. Did he offer to get me something different? No. Did he offer to have the bartender make me another one without Beelzebub's spice in it? No... My night was immediately ruined (sigh).\n\nThe entrees were okay; the meat cooked the way that everyone had ordered; I proactively ordered a raspberry martini to try to wash away the taste of thyme from my mouth about halfway through my meal. \n\nSo let's summarize, shall we? \n\nDécor - 1 star\nFood - 3 stars\nPrice - 1 star\nService - 1 star\n\nWhat started as a pretty crappy experience for a hoity toity restaurant, ended up slightly over mediocre in the end. That is after the wait staff and fellow patrons sung happy anniversary to all three of us as we ogled the candle in the middle of the crème brulee and I made it smack dab in between the happy couple in the souvenir anniversary photo... courtesy of Morton's....\n\nAh memories.", "Dark, a lot of wood with brass accents, which was beautiful, we were seated in the bar, as part of their dining area? ( we were dressed nice, so I am not sure why.) The bar area was very small and there were four tables side by side and about two feet apart! Our waiter was bar tending as well, they were not real busy at first, but then they started filling up and there went our service. \n\nThe prices are high, but I expected them to be in comparison with other top end steak houses, however, the food was not wonderful at all. The steak does not even come close to the Brighton Steakhouse or Ruths' Chris.\n\nThey did not make a believer out of me!", "Went here with a couple of friends strictly for their Power Hour and it was great. Morton's Power Hour is from 5 - 6:30 and 9:30 - 11 every weeknight. They have a special Bar Bites menu for just $5 a plate. We enjoyed the petite filet Mignon sandwiches, cheese fries, and a crab, spinach and artichoke dip. They also have mini cheeseburgers, crab cakes, and other things on the Bar Bites menu. \n\nMorton's is a fancy high end restaurant and you could see this as soon as you walk in. The dining room is nicely set and the Christmas music is playing. The bar is separated from the dining room which was good because we weren't dressed up for the occasion. The diners were in suits while we were in jeans. The bar is rather small so it got loud when another group of people walked in. You have the choice of sitting at the bar or at tables. \n\nNote: There are no specials on drinks during this time.", "I've eaten at Morton's power hour twice this week! If they only had drink specials that went along with their food specials, it would be my new happy hour spot. Even though it's been in the KOP mall for a few years now, I've never been to Morton's probably because I can't imagine paying $$$ for steak. \n\n But, at power hour from 5-6:30 pm, you can have their food for only $5! So my friends and I ordered their petit filet mignon sandwiches, mini prime rib cheeseburgers, lettuce bites, cheese fries, and their crab, artichoke and spinach dip. I have to say all of its pretty good, but I loved the prime rib cheeseburgers and the dip. I was really impressed that they cut the lettuce into mini circles to fit the cheeseburgers exactly instead of tearing off a piece of lettuce and putting it on them, that's dedication to a slider! \n\nJeff is totally jealous that I've been there twice without him. :)", "This review is just for Power Hour.\n\nService: The service was good. Our waiter did his job. He didn't go above and beyond, but he was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. \n\nLocation: King of Prussia Mall (court). There's an entrance from the mall or you can park around back (near DSW) and walk right in without going through the mall. If you're just going to the bar area, I recommend using the entrance near DSW so you don't have to walk through the dining area. \n\nMust Try: Miniature Prime Cheeseburger Trio\n \nSummary: I've attended Power Hour twice this week, and had a good experience both times. I'd never been to Morton's before, and I still haven't had a full meal there. But the $5 bar bites were delicious, and the price was just right. The bar area was separate from the dining area and got kind of loud once more people started to arrive, but it did not seem overly crowded. The only down-side to the event is that there are no drink specials. But the $5 Bar Bites were enough to make me come back a 2nd time.", "I was at Mortions last night with some friends for the power hour and the food was good, my favorite has to be the burgers and the chedder fries. I like the look of the restaurant and I would have to say the ONLY time i would eat there is for the power hour. I would like to try the mini crab cakes the next time i go. You can enter from the mall or you can park in the back and walk in. I would recommend anyone to dress very dressy and look presentable when going to Mortions.", "I don't know if its because people here don't like chains or if people are just generally stupid but this place has some of the finest steaks in the suburbs Period. This is a very high end steak house that only serves prime beef. The filet is amazing and i've been here many times. One thing to look for is to see if they have two dine for 99 special. With this or some variation you can get two salads, two apps, two steaks, two sides and two dessets for 99 is quite a good deal when you consider the filets alone are 40 each...\n\nTo the people who gave this place any less then 4 stars, please remove yourself from yelp as you have no idea about anything food and should most likely be looking to eat at diners as good food/service and quality service are not your strongest suite. This place gets it right consistently and does steak well period. If your looking for a steak you can't do much better then here." ]

[ "This is by far our family's favorite place for take-out pizza--the crusts are perfect and the tomato sauce is just right. If you have little kids they'll enjoy watching the pizza-makers work behind the big glass window! Very good stromboli too. We've never ventured far beyond pizza and stromboli on the menu, but what we've had has been terrific.", "i'm a snob. \nI'm quite particular about my food. \nLike, for instance, I demand my food be edible. \nWhile Pinocchio's food will never be mistaken for human food, they do have two things going for them:\n\nA) a RIDICULOUS selection of take-out beer\n\n-and-\n\nB) after 9pm, there's nothing else open in a 15 mile radius. So, when you're deciding between this & a beef stick from Wawa's, I'll take my chances with Pinocchio's", "I miss you Pinocchio's! It's cheesy, gooey, and floppy, but the pizza tastes GOOD. Do you deliver to California? \n\nThe pizza is thin (but not crispy thin) and sometimes you have to slurp to eat your slice (from the floppiness and gooiness). There aren't too many pieces of pizza that I've had to slurp. But that's a good thing 'cause it makes it more fun!\n\nSure, the orange, plasticky booths and wooden tables could probably use a make-over, but the setting works for them. With little kiddies at this family restaurant, that set up is way more practical than anything else could be.", "I was a pizza delivery girl for Pinocchio's in high school, so it will always have a special place in my heart. The pizza is nothing special, but it makes great late night food-- when everything else in the area has closed, Pinocchio's stays open until 1:30am, and that is awesome. They also have take-out beer. \n\nOkay, I'll be totally honest. It's basically not great sober, but it's the best place in the world after a long night of drinking. \n\nPlus, they've been in business for over 50 years... They must be doing something right!", "Pinocchio's is a staple in Media. With a large menu, long hours and a full bar, it is difficult not to find something to satisfy. It is the place that you know is always there, always open...almost like being home. The Greek salad with their house dressing is the best...though just an order of raw onions and feta cheese with the house dressing is worth dreaming about. Thursday night is Fiesta night featuring $2.00 margaritas and a special menu of Mexican inspired foods. They try...and often it works. The pizza is average, but they make a lot of it so something must be working.", "I love this place..been going there my entire life pretty much. It used to be the place to go for little league with the whole team, then in high school I would always go with my team for whaich ever sport I was playing that was in season. Once I was in college whenever I was home we would end up here after the bars for some much needed food. This past November we came here after our 10 year Penncrest reunion and it was crazy flash backs sitting in the booths with friends from high school 10 years later. I go out to my parents often for dinner and many times grab a pizza from here. Cheese steaks are really good and I actually really like the pizza. Good beer selection as well.", "Again, pizza is a highly subjective area so I will try to stick to the facts.\n\nBig thin oven baked pizza. Some refer to this style as boardwalk pizza, others call it cardboard pizza. For this genre, it is pretty good. Very family friendly.\n\nGreat place for bringing the kids after a game. Most parents will find something that they will find acceptable. And they have beer!", "I took my California sweetheart here last year after being away for a very long time. Nothing has changed. Not the decor, the booths, and especially...the pizza. THANK YOU Pinocchios for not changing a great thing. Oh, and the prices? They barely changed as well.", "I grew up in town and going to pinocchio's brings back a lot of great memories. Now, I tend to go there with my meager wages clutched in my hand when i know I'm craving massive amounts of pizza and soda for one price. Yeah, the slices are touch and go, but you know another one is on the way. It's all you can eat...what do you expect??\n\nThe staff is really kind and attentive and the beers are cheap and cold. They also have a pretty good cheesesteak.", "I was strangely craving buffalo chicken pizza and wings yesterday. I was told that Pinnochio's is the best place in my area to satisfy this urge to eat and get fat. \n\nWARNING: The wings are ON FIRE. If you can't deal with hot, ask for mild. It WILL numb your taste buds for the rest of the meal. (Ask my boyfriend who could not finish his share of the pizza afterwards.)\n\nThe pizza is thin-crust. Although I usually hate thin-crust pizza, the thin-crust was not SOOO thin that I minded. Furthermore, I was impressed by the place's ability to balance the proportion between chicken, pizza, and buffalo sauce. Some prior bad experiences with buffalo chicken pizza taught me that badly done buffalo chicken pizza = sauce dripping all over the place. There was no such mess - the sauce stayed where it should always stay - on the pizza. \n\nAlthough there is a dining area that is usually sparsely populated by a few young diners, the service is non-existent. What do the servers do if there so few patrons? Where do they go? I have no idea - it was impossible to get a server's attention until they come to your table with the bill." ]

So far we have eaten the chicken wings for appetizers and for dinners we have eaten the pizza, pesto baked lasagna, spaghetti on spaghetti night! All very delicious! The service was great, people friendly.", "Other than the great food, the atmosphere is pretty cool. Also, the wine list is the most reasonable I have ever seen. My husband, father and I all went there for dinner tonight. The waiter was great, and the owner was there too. He took time out of his night to socialize with us for a few minutes. We got a nice bottle of red wine (Italian import) for $20. Amazing!!! I will defiantly go back!", "Ate here again and this time it was great. Iced tea was great! Pulled pork sandwich rivals some BBQ joints. Bread pudding rules! Will be back. It is good to come here in the late afternoon before the dinner crowd rolls in.", "We have always been fans of this place, long time customers at the Moana location. We were so happy that when we moved to Spanish Springs there was another location! My husband loves the hot and spicy pasta and any of the homemade ravioli specials! I love the halibut special, Tuesday's spaghetti special and of course the amazing bread pudding! Always had great service and love the casual atmosphere!", "For an Italian restaurant I was not impressed with their lasagna. Aside from that nugget the place has served us well. They are happy to make to-go orders and since they are right off Vista BLVD it is easy to grab your food and get on your way.", "The atmosphere is great and the service is good. However, in my opinion the food is grossly over rated and the prices are quite high for what you get. Order a soda and it comes in a can with no refills. Pretty cheesy. They offer happy hour specials that appeal to kids like chicken sliders. We were told our son couldn't have them because he wasn't 21. Instead we were charged $5 more for a kids plate. What a joke.", "The food is still good, but the quality seems to have gone down. And the prices have definitely gone up. \nService is usually good here. I like to eat here. But my last several meals here have just been okay. It's now a restaurant I\"ll eat at if I'm in the area, but it doesn't merit driving there just to eat at Pinocchio's.", "My favorite Uncle lives in Sparks.

Went out for an Estrogen Night (all the women in the family) for dinner. Add drinks and it's a night of comedy.\n\nSalad was good, I had a burger w/fries. Good flavor. Everyone at the table liked their food. Service was great, too.", "plenty of big screens to watch nfl on sundays. \nsmall selection of beers on tap. i recently tried the spicy pasta with chicken, very tasty and not for sissys. Bartenders are always nice and attentive.", "My buddy really has wanted to try this place out, and I've passed it every day going to and from work so I said why not. \n\nWell, we definitely won't be going back. I ordered a burger, and it was one of the toughest burgers I've ever had.

I was in the mood for fish, but when I looked at the menu that quickly changed. You want delicious comfort food like your MawMaw used to cook? Go to The Cheezy Cajun! We started with fresh cracklins with Steen's Cane Syrup on the side. First time I've had it like that. Wow! You talk about good! Then we had a BBQ shrimp po boy and chicken pot pie. Afterwards, we ordered a barbecue beef turnover to go. They have a good selection of cheeses, fresh meats, boudin, and a full bar. Go eat here soon! I know we'll be back again. No need to drive to Lafayette just to get good cracklin!", "I had really amazing meat pie made with puff pastry! Also some delicious boudin balls. The restaurant had a really great a atmosphere and it's super close to my job.\n\nGo here and try everything!\n\nGrilled cheese is also baller. Try it with the shoestring fries.", "Amazing!

We have eaten at the majority of them in the greater Nashville area. Tokyo in Smyrna is by FAR our favorite. The food is excellent, every time, and the service is great. Go for the Early-Bird special. It starts at 4:30pm and goes till around 6pm I think. Prices are reduced for the same dinner portions. Enjoy!", "The place is good but a little on the expensive side. The atmosphere is nicer than most of the others in the area. i've had the hibachi only a couple times, both experiences were enjoyable. Usually I go just for the sushi when I'm out for lunch. It's made fast and the fish is really fresh. The salmon skin handroll is really good so it's something I get almost every time along with the seaweed salad. If you're in the area I say that you give the place a try.", "My hubby and I went here to treat ourselves after moving out to the boonies (aka Smyrna). The chef was very entertaining, we had a private table since we were the last ones there one evening. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. We got the special- filet, lobster and chicken. LOTS and LOTS of leftovers! Will definitely be returning but maybe for their early bird special to save some loot. They have half off before 5pm Monday - Thursdays.", "This place is sitting off the road in an unassuming strip mall. I went over for dinner with a coworker. We were seated immediately, and received great service from the wait staff. I ordered the shrimp and steak, along with an Alaskan Roll (Smoked Salmon). The Salmon was okay, nothing to really write home about. Their \"clear soup\" was really really salty chicken broth. The hibachi food, however, was awesome. I would give this place 4 stars, except half way through cooking the steak portion, the chef made a very distasteful decision with one of his antics. I would suggest that they train their chefs to not assume the relationship between people at the table.", "As soon as I got past the nice atmosphere and friendly service and tasty food, I realized that it's slightly overpriced and have had better quality hibachi in other cities.\n\nYou can only have hibachi once for the first time.\nIt brings joy to many people, why is it so good? the show. And lots of great food.\n\nI'm going to plant this seed, don't get your expectations up, and you won't feel disappointed. But it's worth a try for some delightful asian cuisine. They have sushi, and ok atmosphere. You can even hang out at the bar and just grab a drink. why not? what else are you going to do in Smyrna.. LOL", "My boyfriend and I love this place! The service is really great and the food is even better. The prices can be a little on the high side, but it's worth it!", "===sushi only review====\n\nI've now had the chance to eat here a handful of times, one of which was for lunch. I usually sit at the sushi bar and chat with the chefs as much as they are able. \n\nEach time, I have found the service to be good to very good. The knowledge of the staff on sushi is good to very good as well. A couple of times, I've had a waiter that writes nothing down, which is a small touch but very cool. \n\nThe sushi itself is what I would call 'surprisingly good' for a restaurant that puts its emphasis on the hibachi side of things. Some of the best scallops I have ever had were at this place. I routinely get the nigiri, with two of my favorites that I sample just about everywhere are the ama ebi (sweet shrimp) and mackerel. I didn't have to ask for the sweet shrimp heads to be prepared and brought to me, as that's a matter of course for them. Each time they are done to perfection, with a brown sauce drizzled across, just right. The serving sizes are ample to larger than normal for nigiri, with the chefs being prompt and friendly. \n\nI have yet to have any sushi that I wasn't pleased with, and definitely will continue to eat here - especially as it is only minutes from home! \n\nThe overall value is what is expected. I usually get 5 nigiri and spend around 30 bucks with tip. Again - my selections are usually in the mid to upper price ranges, so YMMV. \n\nTough to go wrong here, IMHO.", "Two words- seafood sauce!!

[ "I was very excited for this place to open. I live down the street and mexican food is my favorite. There's not a lot of places within walking distance to even go eat at besides the usual pizza and sandwiches. However, I was a little disappointed. I'm a vegetarian so my opinion is a little bias, but the food was very average. You walk in and order on touch screens. They really need a \"build your own option\". The vegetarian options were very limited. I did however like that the veg options were pretty healthy. I went with the veg bowl which was average - filling because of the egg and quinoa but nothing special with the taste. Kinda salty too. We waited a long time for our food (considering it's supposed to \"fast\"). They didn't offer any hot sauce or anything to fill up on the side - instead they had ketchup and mustard which is just so strange for a taco place. There's additional seating upstairs, but it kind of smells like a bathroom up there. The wait staff was very friendly. \n\nI don't see myself trying this place again, it was nothing extraordinary at all.", "i was happy to see a taco spot open near my school. i ordered the \"almost pastor\" tacos and side of chili. i came out slightly disappointed though.\ntacos tasted good however there could have been more spice. i like the pineapple component of al pastor tacos but these seemed like they were dripping in diluted pineapple juice.. also felt like they skimped on portions. & you only get one tortilla per taco. all real taco places use 2 per taco. for almost $8 for 2 tacos, i was disappointed. \n\nalso there was no side of hot sauce or salsa verde or anything. just one slice of lime.\nit was already a bad sign that each order just had 2 tacos in it. and no they cannot add more to make 3. \nthe chili was alright, it mostly had chunks of beef in it", "Not quite good, but not quite bad. This place fills a niche for tacos and burritos, but they're not very consistent. But they've only been open for a week, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Things are usually either too salty, too bland, or too spicy. Not a bit fan. If you want a novel on why, read on, or else stop right here and move on.\n\nI have personally never been to their Fishtown location, but according to the staff, this place has a more expended menu. The location recently opened up (last week as of the intial posting of this review) from the remains if a Chinese takeout place. There's two floors. The ordering area is on the first floor, additional seating is on the second floor, along with the restrooms. The entrance way is a bit narrow and the lower level can be a bit cold on wintery days as the doors can get open by the breeze of patrons opening the front door to go in and out. Second floor seating is recommended for those looking to eat in. The logo is apparently based off of Boss Tweed, if you are wondering. \n\nI went a few times before their official opening week (this week). I've tried their burritos, tacos, platter, and chili. Overall the taste is flavorful, not too rich (or salty). Your order is freshly prepared, so its nice and hot, if it doesn't end up sitting in the counter for a while. The overall quality varies. I've had the fish burrito and the beef tacos with hard-shell tortillas (very rare to have in most taco places in the area). Sometimes the meat comes out all greasy. This affects the overall taste and is a bit of a turn off for some people, like me. The tortillas shells were also stale on the taco I got and the toppings were missing as well. I usually eat in, but this time I got tacos for take out, so I didn't realize until I got back of the problem. Needless to say, for a pair of tacos at $7, I was pretty disappointed.\n\nI gave them another chance on their official opening week and tried their whitefish platter. At $11, it was a bit underwhelming. The platter came with two decently-sized pieces of freshly fried fish, on a bed of house-made rice, with roasted corn on the cobb, slathered with their special sauce. It tasted good and fresh overall, the fish lacked seasoning, but it's how I like it. Not to salty and not too rich (or greasy this time). The portions were sized well, but I feel that the kernel should have been portioned off the cobb, for easier eating.\n\nThis place has a chili as well. Its $5 for a cup, but it's more like a dry stew than a chili. Despite its name it very thick and dry, there seemed to be big chunks beef and there along with beans so its very hearty. It's not as soupy as you would expect from most places. The taste overall was a bit saltier and richer than I like it. The seasoning wasn't too strong, but the spiciness was on the low-end. Barely any kick, so it might disappoint those that looking for a bit of an edge.\n\nOne more try with the Tijuana Poutine. It was salty. Not just regular salty, but I-should-find-something-to-wash-my-mouth-out kind of salty. Not due to the fries or the pickled jalapeños. What was the cause you ask? It was the Macho Chili (it wasn't as salty the last time I tried it). If you get this starter, a drink is HIGHLY recommended. The saltiness wraps around your mouth so much that you can't even taste the rest of the stuff. The egg doesn't add to it at all, it feels more like a decoration than anything. The portion was big, but very disappointing. \n\nTheir \"Mexican Soup\" or rather Minestrone Soup with Chorizo was overly spicy. While I can handle some spice, the amount of spiciness was overpowering and detracted from the taste of the soup. It's a spiciness that creeps up on you the more you eat it. It detract from the overall taste as the more you eat the less you'll be able to taste the soup. Soda or juice is not a recommended compliment to the soup as it ruin the balance, like if you tried to wash out the bitter taste of straight up spoon of tabasco with Coke or Sprite. This side is not a good paring with any dish or as a standalone. Milk Bubble Tea from iTea will help you wash the taste out, if the spice is too much for you.\n\nService overall is friendly, but the quality can be inconsistent, especially around the lunch rush. The taste varies wildly to the point that I question what the all those chefs in the kitchen are doing. The lead chef should at least taste a portion of what comes out. \n\nThose looking for good \"Mexican\" fare might be disappointed, but if you're looking for a somewhat healthy freshly made meal, and don't mind things things fried, this place is a decent choice. It definitely fills a niche for tacos, burrito, and the like. Worth a try if your hungry and want to try something different. It's certainly different from your typical taco/burrito place. I want to like this place, but I can't. There's not much consistency at all between menu items.", "Don't think twice. Come to Heffe and order the hot dog sandwich.

This sandwich was over the top good. Super messy, totally worth it. The spicy kick and textures and flavors were just so surprising. We can barely wait to make our way through the other expansions on the menu. The staff here was super friendly and we're glad to have them in the neighborhood. Give them a little bit to work out the new location kinks and this place will be your new favorite thing!", "We were so excited when the spring garden location opened since we never got over to the Fishtown spot and we live a couple blocks away. We ordered a variety - tacos, burrito, quesadilla and the chips and guacamole. It was okay. Quickly after eating both my husband and my stomach was upset making a necessary trip to the bathroom. Overall, disappointed. Hoping things get better after they are opened a bit longer.", "Wow!! Heffe's was great. The inside is brand new, but limited seating! I ordered the carne asada bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. The bowl was flavorful, the meat was juicy and tender, and most importantly it was a filling meal. \n\nI was so impressed by the food here I will definitely be back! \nAlso the prices are very fair and the service is friendly and efficient. I wish there were more stars to give this fast casual gem!", "I would argue that a fundamental element of a burrito is that it is tightly wrapped to contain all of the deliciousness. Given that my Willie \"Burrito\" came precut in half, I would argue that it is actually a wrap. It was decent tasting, but at $8 it felt like a bit of a rip off and I left wishing I had gotten pizza or food from a nearby halal truck. \n\nThe decor is cool, staff seem nice, and I think the touchscreens will be cool when there is a rush, but absent a fundamental shift in their definition of burrito, I won't be going back again.", "The fish taco and fish burrito were amazing. The sauces are a nice additional as well. Everything taste fresh and the cashier was friendly. I'm glad I tried this place." ]

The trip to this place is worth the commute.\n\nPros: Wonderful food!\nCons: Be wary of the staff, most just take your order & they lack friendly customer service.

Everything that I tasted from here was very good", "This place is amazing! Such a hidden gem. My fave is the curry shrimp platter; it's huge and you get two sides included for $12, which to me is an excellent price. The fish platter and salmon platter are also great; ask for the fish gravy, yum! \n\nOne tip: there is ALWAYS a line practically to the door so expect to be waiting in line for at least 15 minutes; plan accordingly because it is SO worth the wait!", "Ron's was good. The line leading into the dinning room and ordering counter told me so. They are the hot spot at B&O. The Ox Tails were really good. Serving sizes suggest that you can have leftovers for dinner. If you can stand to not be greedy and eat it all as soon as you get into it. Which is very difficult. They have all the other delicacies of Jamaican food. Jerk this, Ackee Fish that, Curry goat, Plantains, Rice-n-Peas, cabbage, Beef Patties, Carrot Cake. Really you should just go down and get some of their great food for yourself .

I never had oxtails\nbefore Ron's and I must say I was impressed and they give large portions!", "Ron's has good Jamaican food. I have been here many times but I never thought about doing a review because The spot is always crowded and I thought everyone knew about it. When you enter the restaurant the food is situated at the back of the restaurant is warming trays. However you don't get to see the food right away because there is always a long line. The line moves rather quickly and before you know it you are in the food area.\n You get a look at all that colorful Jamaican food laid out before you. There's a jerk chicken, red snapper, curry goat curry chicken and curry shrimp, brown stew, peas and rice cabbage and all types of vegetables, everything so fresh and so colorful as so fragrant. \n You want to buy everything, but as usual I go directly to my favorite Jamaican dish-Oxtails with peas & rice, sauteed.cabbage and a piece of festival bread. So ono! I wanted to give them a 5 stars but the staff has no patience and no humor.", "Was in Philly and saw this small spot, and decided to try it.

New branch next to Patel brothers is cool, nice ambiance, good and great staff. Don't know how's their lunch buffet but dine menu is good. Glad they opened up this branch..Movie, groceries and awesome restaurant at one shot...my soul is happy!!!!\ntotally loved it will go there any time.....", "Our lunch group tried the lunch buffet today.\nThe restaurant was clean, nicely decorated with Indian decor and had friendly service. \n\nThe buffet items were superb; flavorful, exotic and a little spicier than other local Indian places, which is a plus for me since I like things hot and spicy. It wasn't over the top hot so don't let the slight heat scare you - it's more \"generously spiced\" rather than \"burn your mouth hot\" - although the eggplant masala did have a little \"hot\" kick. \n\nThey had several dishes I haven't seen at any other Indian places in town including something called \"Chicken 65\" which was like boneless buffalo wings with a tandoori twist. very enjoyable. They also had old favorites like chicken tiki masala, several types of rice, dahl and many more plus about every type of chutney you can imagine.\n\nThe only thing that was a little disappointing was the Gulab Jamun, usually it's my favorite Indian dessert but it wasn't up to par at this place.\n\nGive it a try - I know I'll be back!", "As a lifelong fan of Indian cuisine, India Sizzling (II) came very highly recommended to me by a true expert. The expert, who is actually from India, advised me that the food at India Sizzling was the most authentic he has had in the Indianapolis area, and was totally \"un-Americanized.\" Since I have never been to India, I decided to take his word for it--and since I could think of little else other than sumptuous, authentic, un-Americanized, Indian food, I had to make my first visit immediate. Needless to say, I was 5-star impressed.\n\nMy visit to India Sizzling (II) came on a Saturday night. I was politely greeted and shown immediately to my seat. On the weekends, the restaurant does not offer their main menu, but has a full dinner buffet. I had hoped to actually order off of the menu--as I like to make sure that my food has adequate spice. From my experience, much of the Indian food in the United States has considerably less spice than its authentic counterparts (especially when buffets are concerned). If one truly wishes to experience Indian food, then he should experience it properly. Kinda-sorta doesn't cut it for me--it's like buying a Harley-Davidson Sportster. Yes, it's a Harley; yes, it's wimpy. To my surprise, the food on the buffet at India Sizzling had a nice, spicy kick to it. In the end, I was glad to have been able to sample various items on the menu.\n\nThe buffet at India Sizzling far exceeds those of other area Indian restaurants. It is much larger, the food is better prepared, and as already stated, is spicier. They offer a full selection of meat dishes, and they serve plenty of vegetarian options. As I was in the mood for meat, I meandered through the various chicken and goat curries. India Sizzling also had a large selection of Chaat, with the Pani Puri being my favorite. Even though I was completely stuffed, I saved room for the many dessert samplings. \n\nThe restaurant staff was extremely friendly, and the service was impeccable. If the service was this outstanding during buffet hours, I can only imagine what it must be like when they are only serving from the menu. I was further delighted to have been greeted by the general manager, who was able to give valuable information regarding the foods that his establishment served.\n\nIndia Sizzling will establish your tongue in Nirvana. The only thing left to worry about is your soul.", "As per schedule , it should be open for dinner from 5:30 PM. But it's closed most of the time. On June 22nd 2013 ,upon calling to know if it will open ,lady said she was not sure if it will open. \nMost of the time it's closed but we ate here twice and both the times food were really bad.\nOther India Sizzling in Fishers is good.", "This place is great! The service is wonderful and the food is authentically Indian. I'm so glad India Sizzling opened a location closer to the west side of town so I don't have to drive up to Fishers. This is a must visit place if you love Indian food!", "I have been to many Indian restaurants. India Sizzling II remains at the Top 1%. There are many other restaurants serving Indian food that are more Americanized. If you want real South Indian food, you should try India Sizzling. Chefs are from deep south India and bring out the best authentic Indian food at the affordable price that you can imagine. Their non-vegetarian food is really delicious. Especially, Mutton (Goat) Biryani is too good to miss. Recently, I went to this restaurant with bunch of friends for Lunch buffet. They have introduced many more items on the buffet and for the price they are charging, I can only get a \"Foot-Long with drinks\" at sandwich restaurant. \n\nIndia sizzling II-way to go.", "Great ambiance!!! Good service with yummy authentic Indian food!! One of my favorite Indian restaurant in town,I'm a vegetarian,but surprisingly this place has lot of options to satisfy my taste buds ,I highly recommend this place to everyone, don't forget to try the panneer tikka masala ,navaratna korma!!and the gulab jamoon!!! Its the best.\nStop in,try the delicious food, I promise you will not be disappointed!!", "Not as good as I expected. Waste of time and money. The lamp was very tough. And when the waiter gave us the dishes, his thumb touched the sauce in a disgusting way!", "Yes, I am once again writing another review for an Indian restaurant. Time for a flashback: years ago, I recall meeting the owner and chef (Madhan Lal) of India Sizzling II when he used to manage Passage To India in Columbus, IN. I never forgot how tasty the food was! Some years passed by, and I discovered that Madhan Lal was up in Fishers, IN at the original India Sizzling, and so I would drive 30 or more minutes just to indulge in the best non-vegetarian Indian food I've ever had. \n\nFast forward: it's now 2013 and I get a call from Madhan, and he tells me that he has taken over what used to be Bombay Garden and opened India Sizzling II on Lafayette Rd. I was his first customer and I'm privileged to be able to eat such good, home style food and not have to drive to Fishers every time I want authentic, non veg Indian. I am unapologetically an Indian food addict! Ha. \n\nSo, if you like rarefied North and South Indian food; if you like exotic spices and herbs and unique breads (dosas, nan, utappam, appam), and if you're not afraid to feel a little butt burn the next morning, then add this restaurant to your repertoire of awesome ethnic eateries and eat good! I'm telling you, you can't find Indian food this tasty outside of an Indian's home kitchen; there are only a few authentic Indian restaurants around Indy and this a top notch choice restaurant!", "My family and I discovered this restaurant a few months ago, dining several times during the lunch buffet available on weekends. We have greatly enjoyed the selection and quality, finding many items that we have not encountered in other Indian restaurants. We always leave completely happy and satisfied. The ambiance isn't special (the old bar just doesn't fit; it was inherited from the previous establishment that was not Indian), but overall it's certainly clean and quite adequate. And at first glance the name is a bit odd for an Indian restaurant. With \"sizzling\" in the name, one might think it's a steak joint or one specializing in burgers and fries! Don't let the name mislead you. This place is definitely worth a try for great Indian food." ]

A friend and I decided to try them tonight. \n\nWe had an 8 pm reservations and arrived a few minutes early. We were greeted by a friendly host who we engaged in light joking conversation and we were promptly sat. \n\nWaiter was Neil who introduced himself and took good care of us throughout the meal. \n\nMy friend and I both had the small filets. They were exceptional. Perfectly cooked. Tasty and very tender. \n\nThe onion soup and side mashed potatoes were very good also. \n\nThe reality is being a chain restaurant I had somewhat low expectations going in. That opinion has changed dramatically. \n\nNow it's not cheap but, I'm a believer in paying for a good meal so, I'm okay with it. \n\nI will be back soon and I recommend this place highly.", "Worst restaurant experience ever. Steak came out very under cooked. Then took 25 minutes to get it right. Place looked like a bunch of chickens running around with heads cut off.

A little pricey for Metairie. Wines are overpriced. Steaks were cooked incorrectly. Sides were so so. Other locations are really good so I am hopeful with time they will get better.", "Visited this location last week for a birthday dinner. While the staff was pleasant, to be a steakhouse, you must get steak temperatures correct. My steak was undercooked and a little cold. I know you just opened so I will give you another shot.", "Well was headed to an old reliable restaurant when we saw a new restaurant so decided to try something new. \n\nThe valet was available but decided to park ourselves. Just nice to know it's there if needed. From the moment we were seated we were impressed. The staff was very attentive. We are seated and when I tell you the happiest server in the world came to great us. Jenna C. was an absolute pleasure all night. \n\nThe Martinis were perfect (and I'm picky). Started off with Caesar salad, followed by a perfectly cooked Ribeye and 2 lobster tails. Leave room for dessert. We split a Carrot Cake and it was very good. \n\nThis place is not your cheap steak house but the food and service justify the price. \n\nI do suggest asking for Jenna C. to make it the perfect dinning experience (even though she is from Chalmette ).", "We had a reservation for 8:30 and we were seated closer to 9:00. \n\nWe were met at the table by a really pleasant and excited waitress named Drea. Throughout the entire evening, she was attentive and very kind. \n\nWe had a party of 8 people and we ordered drinks first. Some of us had the blueberry lemon drop (definitely recommend it) and the spreads for the bread were also tasty. \n\nWe ordered our food and this is where the problems began. We didn't receive our food for over an hour. We spoke with the manager and received an apology but no real explanation on why our food was so delayed. \n\nWe received our food and it was ok but not great and certainly not worth the price.

We ordered 4 soups and 2 salads for starters. The salads came out but the soups were at least 10 minutes later. Thats makes it awkward for everyone. \nThe entrees came out together but the sides were cold and dry. My wife's steak was overdone and cold ? Is that possible? It was last night. \nDesserts were good. We had 5 drinks and coke. \nBill was 600.00 before tip. Way to much for the quality of the food.", "Disappointed in this location. Service help is far from prepared. Stay away until they are trained properly. This not a reflection of he wait staff but the lack of training/procedures. Management failure. Nice people but a disaster as a dinner party. \n\nEx: food served out of sequence, plates removed prior to being completed, orders being taken before the host has any idea and within minutes of being seated - had to wait for sides while entree's were served.\n\nI have been going to Fleming Restaurants in Houston and Destin-this one is sub par. Maybe it needs a little time - but the competition will eat them alive without quick change!\n\nI couldn't wait for a Fleming's in NOLA - it will be a while before I go back - too many great restaurants in NOLA to settle for low service - high prices $$$!

Called on a Friday morning and we were lucky enough to get an early reservation for that evening. Cozy litte place - it really has no more than 15 or so tables, and they're close together. The building was definitely a private home in previous life. It's very unpretentious from the outside, but cute and cozy inside. The place was practically empty when we arrived - again, it was early (around 6:00ish), but I can see why reservations are \"a must.\" The place filled up quickly, people waiting inside the small entrance and out on the street. Service is very polished and polite, without being too stuffy. Our server knew his stuff and was able to answer questions about ingredients, preparation, etc. that were spot on accurate. Appetizers were delightful - I had the ceasar salad which was delicious and artfully presented - very different! Hubby had the tomatoe-fresh mozzarella drizzled with pesto olive oil. Again, another work of art on the plate, so cute and different I actually took a photo of it with my cell phone! Hubby said it tasted as good as it looked. Hubby had the fish special - can't recall the name of the fish, but we had never heard of it. Server described it beautifully, as it was done in a blood orange reduction which he claimed was superb. I had the crabcakes. They were good, very meaty with little filler, but I've had better. Desserts were scrumptous and their coffee is also excellent. This is more of a special occasion spot than a neighborhood place. Cost of our dinner (keep in mind this is a BYOB) with tip was about $110. Will we go back? You betcha!", "This is a great restaurant hidden off street rd. Service was great, knowledgable and friendly. It's byo too! The menu is the most upscale of byos you will in the area. I had a striped bass that was spot on. You will drop bills here though so be prepared. They do accept credit cards so don't worry about bring a wad of cash.", "Wow. This place is out of control good. It's also out of control expensive but you get what you pay for as they say. The food was some of the best I've had. Make sure you try the onion brulee appetizer. It's a caramelized onion stuffed with crabmeat. Sounds weird but it was incredible. The presentation is like nothing I've experienced (granted I haven't been to a lot of fancy restaurants) but even the house salad is artfully presented. Why would they care at all about house salad presentation you ask? Attention to detail is the answer and Augusto's is a master at it. My girlfriend and I went for our 3rd year anniversary and they had a pink rose and card waiting for us at our table when we got there. I didn't even ask for it! Suffice it to say the wait staff floored us. Our waiter was extremely helpful and friendly, not to mention funny. The menu options were a little foreign to us and the waiter answered our questions expertly in a way that was not condescending as you might expect at a high end place. I've never had a waiter that good before. We had such a good experience that we immediately booked a reservation for Valentine's Day on our way out. Can't wait!", "I was taken here by my boyfriend for my birthday, which just happens to be on Valentines day. This was unfortunate timing because everyone else in the area was trying to impress their girlfriends with this \"classy\" place. \n\nThe only reason we went was because we had a gift certificate. Everything I ate was horrible. Their olive oil tasted rank, which was just a chain reaction, because everything was smothered in it, from the bread to the entree. \n\nI just did not enjoy my meal here at all. The service was friendly, but borderline annoying. \n\nIts a restaurant trying to be very upscale and sophisticated, but just coming off as . . lame. I definitely will not be going back, even if i have another gift certificate.", "Excellent - best in the area, bar none. I've been returning to Augusto's for years, and I've never been disappointed. I personally recommend the calamari appetizer, and one really can't go wrong with any of the entrees.", "Dined here last night for my mother's birthday and had an excellent experience. The atmosphere here is very intimate, making it perfect for special occasions. First impressions definitely exceeded my expectations. Upon walking in the door we were greeted by Augusto himself and led to our table where they had placed a couple of red roses knowing from the reservation that it was a birthday dinner. I was very impressed by this lovely personal gesture!\n\nThe rest of the evening followed suit. The service was excellent and our waiter was the best! Onto the food, I've learned over the years that you can generally gauge the caliber of the food your going to be served by the quality of the bread. Theirs was uh-mazing! The loaves came out hot to the table, crusty on the outside and warm, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth, light as air in the center. Seriously could have made a meal from this. Started with the crab bisque, which was unlike anything Ive ever had before. It wasn't heavy and overly creamy like typical bisque, I prefer vegetable based soup and this had just a touch of cream in it. Also had CHUNKS of crab meat not that shredded crab from a can, absolute perfection! The appetizers were just as good, again i could have made a meal from the fresh goat cheese ravioli. At the waiters suggestion, I order the Hawaiian wahloo special with scallops. It was absolutely cooked to perfection. The fish was seasoned perfectly, nicely seared on the outside and tender and buttery in the center. Same thing with the scallops. I was able to try the crab cakes which were 95% crab meat and the sea bass which was also excellent and came with the best forbidden black rice with huge chunks of lobster. So freaking good. They definitely don't skimp on the portion size either. Dessert was Creme Brulee, very creamy and and extra crispy bruleed top!\n\nEverything here exceeded my expectations. Yes its pricey, but the high quality of both the food and the service is reflected in the price and this place is worth every cent. Augusto's is creative, unpretentious fine dining with the service and atmosphere to match. I will definitely be returning here soon!", "I have always loved this place for a terrific meal out with friends and for many special family occasions. So it should have been no surprise to me that they would host a very lovely and elegant bridal shower for my daughter! The food, from the appetizers to the desserts, was truly superb and served just beautifully. The service was really excellent too! The meal moved like clockwork and every guest felt pampered. Many, many thanks to Augusto and the hosts and all the staff that day that made this a very special event for my family and friends. I have been getting calls and emails from everyone telling me how much they enjoyed the afternoon and I know Augusto's will be seeing many of my guests as new customers too!", "Have actually visited here quite a few times and had a more than excellent meal and service. Tonight lacked both. It seems as though they are suffering here, either due to the fact that they have opened a new Italian restaurant and the owner is absent or just because they had a bad night. The service was very poor due to the fact that they only had 1 waiter, who had no personality whatsoever and 3 runners who tried to keep pace with all that was going on around them. All in all I won't be returning any time soon.", "We came here for my uncle's birthday with a rather large group (30+). The food was delish, but the slow and uneven service reduced my rating from five stars.\n\nBefore our individual orders came out - and thank goodness - they passed around roasted veggies and bruschetta that were both quite good. I had an amazing goat cheese ravioli appetizer. My entre was cioppino and delish. The only sour spot was the bread, which was suspiciously like store-bought potato burger buns.\n\nThere was chocolate cake for dessert, which everyone raved about but was too chocolate-y. They also served a trio of small desserts that I enjoyed more (but honestly can't recall the detail of)." ]

Despite it being only 9:20 p.m., a full forty minutes before the restaurant was supposed to close, both doors were locked. Looking at the review from \"Trisha H.\" on 10/22/16, it looks like I'm not the only person who has had this experience. As my reviews tend to show, I am not someone who chases after businesses to take my money so, rather than go through the drive through, we just left. \n\nIf I were this business's owner, especially knowing that with the Steak N Shake right across the street loss of in-restaurant business wouldn't necessarily convert to drive-through sales, I would be very upset if I found out my employees were effectively turning customers away.", "Went to the drive thru an hour before they closed and will never go there again. They told us that they were out of chocolate frostys (what Wendy's runs out of those!). After we had been sitting at the drive thru window awhile (while our server was on his cell phone) they asked us if we had gotten our food. Why would we wait there unless we didn't have it?!?! And then to make matters worse, they told us to pull up bc we had to wait for fries to be made. They finally brought a nasty looking bag out but forgot our straw, napkins and receipt. The server did manage to find a straw and we left. In the car we found out that one of our fries (which were smaller than the size ordered) was ice cold and our sandwiches were not deluxe as ordered. We couldn't even eat the fries so we called back to the Wendy's. The manager really had no excuses but didn't want to give us a receipt number or the Wendy's corporate number. It sounded like a zoo in the background and yet they had no customers inside the restaurant bc only the drive thru was open. Worse Wendy's ever. The owner should be ashamed." ]

[ "Unless things have drastically changed or you haven't had anything Mexican other than at \"Taco Hell\", I would steer clear of this place. Unfortunately, it is still the only Mexican player in town. After living for10 years in SoCal this was extremely dissapointing. Frozen cauliflower and broccoli covered with Velveta posing as a \"Grilled Vegetable Quesidilla\"......need I say more?", "I agree with big b. The food here isn't that great and they don't have a liquor license so no Margharita's. Slightly better than Taco Bell, but not much flavor. I love mexican food and I won't be coming back to Tortuga's. It's a shame because it is so close.", "This is a popular Mexican lunch place. The food is not the most authentic or best Mexican in the area, but it is not bad. I like the Mole Poblano and their chips and fresh salsa are great.\n\nGood for a quick local Mexican fix.", "I don't agree with most of the reviews on this restaurant, I think the food here is good. The enchiladas are similar to what you'd expect from a small mexican restaurant in the city. However, I give it only 3 stars, because I do think it is over-priced. Expect to pay around $40 for a party of 2. \n\nThe absence of a bar is disappointing, but it's more of small BYOB. The most important detail to note is that they do not accept credit cards. This is a problem for many of us that don't carry much cash anymore. However, they do accept debit, which most people have on hand.", "Overpriced, just OK. Slow service, food can be cold. \nYes, Virginia, that is velveeta.\nhttp://www.kraftfoods.com/velveeta", "UPDATE 6/23/12: So we've been to Tortugas twice in the last year. The first time, I had a nice big black chest hair (fingers crossed, let's HOPE it was a chest hair) in my taco. That kept me from wanting to eat there for a looooong time. Then we just went back recently and sat down in the restaurant. The food was great, hot, tasted fresh, I can't complain at all about the food. The server was another story. We handed her a coupon and she had an attitude and a tone with us, stating that it had to be \"called in and would take a few minutes\". Then she walked off leaving us standing at the register until someone else came and took care of us. Listen Tortugas, coupons are incentives that get people's behinds in your seats. We don't want to deal with attitude problems just because we have a coupon that you have to do some extra overhead for. After such a great meal, we left the restaurant talking about the rudeness of the server. That's a shame. See you in another year I guess Tortugas....\n\nUPDATE: 6/5/11: I can't bring myself to eat here anymore. The place does not seem clean. The last time I was there, I found a hair in my taco.....A HAIR. A big greasy hair. It's a shame because Tortugas has some things going for it in the food department. However, with other choices quickly springing up around it, Tortugas needs to get with the program before I'll ever go back there (if ever). For now, even though it's been months since I ate there, I think about finding that hair every time I think about Tortugas. And seriously Tortugas, do something about your debit card purchasing system, it's pathetic! You have to pay money to do debit!!\n\nORIGINAL REVIEW:\n\nI've always liked Tortuga's, they are okay. I really enjoy their chicken taco's and the nacho chips that come with the orders are really very good. \n\nThey are not a great place to order take out from, its better to go there and eat. When I order the chicken tacos to go, I find that they are VERY water logged when I get them home and the once crispy shell falls apart right in my hands. Generous amounts of chips and salsa are given and that is always appreciated. I do agree that they are overpriced though. \n\nThey really need to update their debit card system or something, it always takes longer than usual when I'm paying with a card and I think they even have a surcharge for using a card!", "Best Mexican food ever! There fresh salsa is amazing. There pick 3 combo is a good deal and so much food you will definitely be taking home left overs. Great service, great atmosphere. I love the sauteed vegetables and cheese chimichangas. I also enjoy their sauteed vegetable tacos. My fiance is a huge fan of their beef tacos and the chicken enchiladas. Definitely try this place!", "The place is alright, the Salsa was very very good!\n\nThe \"cheese dip\" is the processed nacho cheese, so it is best to avoid. my chicken quesadilla was a ton of chicken and not much cheese.\n\nnot horrible...but not great either.", "yuck ! coming from a both a mexican and american perspective (his & hers), we thought this restaurant was awful. Not only was the food completely unauthentic, it ranged from bland to disgusting...and in the end, we had a very expensive bill to pay. Would not recommend.", "Love going to Tortuga's...food is rock-solid tasty & plenty of it. I particularly love the catfish, but ask for it cajun. They will be happy to oblige. Also like that it is a BYOB! Their salsa is FANTASTIC! The only criticism I have is that the first serving of salsa is complementary, but they charge (or rather \"over charge\") you for any refills.! I think they should at least give you one refill free or cut back on the refill charge.\n\nIt is a comfortable, laid back jeans or shorts kind of place.\n\nGo - I am sure you will enjoy and return again & again!" ]

Right on time with bringing me more beers and super sweet to my son also. \n\nWe went to get him a t shirt but they had nothing in his size so they gave him a hat on the house instead. He is rockin it and loves it. \n\nSo happy to have a hooters close to home again!!!", "Terrible! The service was awful. Took over 40 minutes for appetizers to come out. Then 2 of the 4 items ordered were incorrect. After waiting 20 minutes our server came over and asked how everything was... there was nothing in front of us... then when food came out incorrect she asked if we wanted it re-made? Yep we do! She told me it would be a while as we would be at the back of the orders... food was actually good but service continued to be an issue. No refills on drinks. No sauces brought out. Manager checked on us and didn't see an issue. When check came server had not applied the 50% off appetizers (happy hour) that we ordered. \nI know the restaurant is new but they need to find better staff or they won't last!", "This so the worst hooters I have ever been to!!! It took forever to get our drinks and good and it wasn't even that busy!!", "ABSOLUTELY THE WORST HOOTERS EVER!! My husband wanted to try this Hooters since it was just opening and we're new to Tucson, worst idea ever! To start with when we got there the wait was 45 mins, but there were tons of open tables inside as well as on the patio. Then the hostesses started seating people who came in after us. Now its finally time to be seated and our hostess, who is under the impression that she's hot sh!t, is throwing attitude and giving our daughter dirty looks. This is now the 3rd issue for us. So our waitress was really sweet and nice and very up front when she tells us it will probably be 30 minutes before we get our food! Well we waited this long i guess we can wait for our food. Our food was fine, but every time we requested more bleu cheese or ranch we got charged...wtf?! My husband ordered a second beer and 20 mins later our waitress comes back that they ran out, ummm since when do you run out of beer???? Overall the food was fine. The hostesses were rude and were more busy trying to get the attention of all the men in the restaurant and the waitresses...don't even get me started. Didn't Hooters used to have standards? Welp not anymore they don't. Of the 7 or 8 working the floor 2, thats right 2, were semi attractive. Or so my husband claims. It was a shame really because what guy wants to go to Hooters and not see any attractive women, but oh well. We won't be back to this one, i guess when we travel back to Ca we'll go then. Don't waste your time going to this place, its so not worth it.", "Have to work out the kinks.\nIt just opened, so I'll be kind. The service was bad. My waitress was friendly. However, the food came out slow and my order from the bar was wrong. \nThis place has potential though. I like how the bar is centered in the middle of the restaurant. There are lots of TVs with different games on.", "Stopped in for some delicious Hooters Wings. They didn't disappoint. Our server, Gabby, did a great job. Food came quick and piping hot. We'll be back.", "Clearly just about every girl in this hooters is new. That being said, it was nice to see Angel back at it!! I was a regular at Hooters when it was on Tanque Verde and this is the third time I've visited this location. With Angel back, I've found my new home again. Anyone looking for a good experience at this Hooters should ask for her. She is what Hooters service is all about! Oh, I also love all the new drinks. The bar looks amazing, the restaurant looks amazing, the food taste great. I'm looking forward to going back.", "I really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, the choice in cocktails, the beer selection, and the customer service was on point! Everyone was happy there to help and you could see how a lot of the cliental were regulars ..... which in alone says a lot.", "Been here several times. Food is good, drinks are cold and the waitresses are friendly. And if you're fortunate enough to get Kasey, Brittany or Angel as your server, you will also give them 5 Stars!\nThanks for returning to the East Side!", "Been twice since opening and as they get in to their groove, the service will only improve. Both times the wings were great, beer cold and server friendly.\n\nReally no complaints at all at this point. They do need hotter sauces though." ]

[ "After viewing the menu from outside, we thought this place would be super pretentious and snobby. We entered to a modest decor with dark wood tones and chainmail hanging from the ceiling?.. kinda cool. \n\nWell we ordered some decently priced dishes for around $50 each. Surprisingly the server came out with an Amuse Bouche. From that point I knew that this restaurant wasn't joking round. This is serious food. The stuff you only see on Food Network. The care and detail that went into the food was outstanding. Service was great. definitely take someone REALLY REALLY special here... cuz its quite pricey. but well worth it.\n\nI recommend this place for foodies, people that appreciate the art and passion that goes into the food. Otherwise it would just seem over priced and pretentious.\n\nAnyways. Ill be back.. once ive saved up enough.", "It's been a while since I dined at Chef Yoshi Chubachi's Wildflower Grill, but my fond memories of my experience have not yet escaped my grasp. \nFirst thing you'll notice is the restaurant's snazzy decor. The flower theme is repeated throughout the establishment. We were seated by friendly wait-staff, and the restaurant had great atmosphere, a buzz of excitement could be felt inthe dining room.\nBut onwards with the food!\n\nAmuse Bouche:\nWhat an unexpected and pleasant surprise! Our amuse of the day was a poached salmon with white balsamic. The fish was tender and moist; balanced well as the vinegar perched atop gave it a nice light kick.\n\nBread:\nSurprise #2. Wildflower's baked brioche came with goat and cow butter. Their brioche was hot, fresh, and steamy. When pulled open, gave off a beautiful eggy aroma. I enjoyed the goat butter the most as it's goat-y tanginess went well with the rich bread.\n\nAfter our bread, chef Chubachi made his rounds around the restaurant to greet his patrons and asked us how we were enjoying our meal. It was a pleasure to see the interaction and to connect with the chef behind the food.\n\nAppetizer:\nHot Potato & Leek Vichyssoise - with roast corn, butternut squash and lobster\nThe soup was garnished with basil and red pepper oils; their flavours were subtle but added deeper, fuller tones to the dish. Creamy and tasted of autumn and thanksgiving. Cockles were warmed.\nCrab cake - with atlantic blue crab,spicy togarashi mayo, orange and avocado salad\nAbsolutely moist and tasted of the sea. Unlike most \"cakes\" you get at other places, you can actually identify clearly chunks and pieces of fresh crab. Lightly battered and fried, the exterior was nice and crisp; did I mention the wonderfully moist interior? The spicy mayo was alright, the crab cakes would have been perfect, as Guy Fieri would say, eaten with a flip-flop.\n\nEntree:\nCitrus Semolina Crusted Sea Bass - with northern Bay scallops, prawns, chorizo, saffron broth and a side of potato gnocchi with sweet pea and serrano ham\nMmmm! Perfectly cooked and moist seafood that sat on a very flavourful broth that packed a ton of body for it's deceivingly light appearance. Gnocchi was light and chewy, lightened with sparks of green peas and balanced with the salty ham.\nGrilled 'Kurobuta' Pork Loin - sugar chilli cured served with creamy polenta 'dauphine', a white bean cassoulet, scampi provencal, and roasted pepper & sweet corn reduction\nThis was a life-changing dish. I was never a fan of pork but this dish set me straight and now look to try it everywhere. I have yet to find a dish that impresses me more than this. I have never had anything so moist, tender, juicy, and flavourful. My first bite of the pork and I couldn't keep the big smile off my face. The sugar chilli marinade was a match made by Eros himself, the sweet and spicy - perfect. On top of the pork were two pieces of shrimp which were out of this world. It would have won the supporting actor oscar. Were it not for the pork, the shrimp could have easily been the tastiest thing I have eaten. Despite it's diminuative size, these little jewels of goodness packed so much shrimp flavour, I was thinking it was lobster. The beans and polenta were great too, as was the duo of very tasty sauces that went with the pork. But man oh man, I would have been happy with just that piece of loin and shrimp. I am having fond memories as I type this.\n\nDessert:\nWhite Chocolate Blackberry Creme Brule - with gianduja chocolate ganache and fruit confit and bushberry sorbet\nGreat end to a great meal. Citrusy fruit and cold sorbet paired with rich chocolate and my girlfriend's favourite, creme brulee, delish.\n\nBut wait, there's more!\nUpon receiving our bill, we were given two more morsels to tantalize our tastebuds. From what I remember the white chocolate truffle was flavoured with coconut and the dark chocolate with some sort of rum. But regardless, they were very delectable and pleasant surprise (there were many of those on the night) to end a most memorable meal.\n\nWhat I would describe as the ultimate dining experience punctuated with many bits of unexpected goodness interspersed throughout. Every dish was very thoughtful and one could appreciate the consideration that went into each aspect, every part coming together to be greater than the whole. As a customer you definitely feel like your wishes and needs were catered to personally.\nI can't help compare Wildflower to the Blue Pear which I dined at recently. As perfect, memorable, and well considered Wildflower was, leaving our minds and tastebuds yearning for more to this day, it was contrasted by The Blue Pear, a poorly thought out and executed menu, a restaurant that clearly doesn't have its customers in mind that left us with a sour experience.\n\nTo Wildflower - Bravo", "Everytime I visit Wildflower, I look across the street at the former location of Il Portico and mourn my favourite Edmonton restaurant. However, once I pop a piece of brioche in my mouth, all is forgotten.\n\nWildflower is all about execution. I have dined here under both Chef Chubachi and Chef Nathin Bye, and the level of cuisine and consistency have not changed. \n\nHighlights: \n\n- brunch. If you haven't eaten brunch here and prefer to fight the crowds at New York Bagel Cafe, Cora's or Cafe de Ville you are foolish. Most brunch sets cost $12-15 here, and are high quality and well done. They are served as sort of bento boxes, with your main dish alongside cornbread, custard and fruit and rich creamy potatoes gratin.\n\n- the extras: amuse bouche and brioche. My only complaint: the slivers of butter could be larger. I always end up fighting with my dining partner over the goat milk butter!\n\n- pastries. Desserts to die for. They're beautiful to the eye and tasty to the mouth. \n\nI enjoy lunch and brunch here when times are lean, and dinner when I can. I'm always welcomed with a warm greeting and solid service. Il Porti-what?", "WIldflower Grill was one of the first restaurants I visited in Edmonton. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, the wine list, and the service. I was with a medium sized group of people and I have to say that the food presentation was perfectly timed between our appetizers and entrees. \n\nWe ordered the seared tuna dish for an appetizer and that was quite superb. For my entree, I enjoyed the lamb and it was perfectly prepared. The only thing about the restaurant that I did not like was the wine suggestion. I feel like our server was just spouting off random facts about wine in general....instead of facts about the wine he is suggesting. I suppose this is pretty common but it is OK to just say, \"I don't know.\"\n\nWildFlower Grill is a great date place and I will return when I get a date.", "This is a place that has pretensions of being serious food, including serious prices, but actually it is not very good. I had two different glasses of wine, at $10 each, and each was lousy (I know something about wine.) The mixed salad was decent, and I had some warm tiny-portion plate that was OK, but the food seemed like it was prepared by auto-pilot, with no real cook in the kitchen. I come from Los Angeles, and a place like this would not be able to stay in business there, it is just too expensive but falling too far short.", "Now who woulda thunk Wildflower Grill and Lazia were a tandem. I sure as hell wouldn't have. This was suggested by Jenn as a dinner option for my belated birthday. Instead we went for brunch. It is located as part of the Matrix hotel complex and very easy to get to whether you live downtown or close by. Parking is accessible on street or in a lot. Transit is also within walking distance. \n\nAs we walked in Carolina and I were taken aback by the lovely decor. It is well kept with an excellent seating arrangement. Although it is considered a grille, you would never know it by the way it is set up. We were greeted by the restuarant manager - a short very friendly Quebecois gentleman. He offered to take my jacket - something most restaurants won't do. Our table had a very classy arrangement with modern looking cutlery and placemat setting. \n\nOur server was prompt but very inviting and friendly. I ordered an orange juice and Carolina ordered a coffee. We were both impressed by the coffee. Not like someone came over and gave her a cup of coffee or gave a carafe of coffee a la Perkins or Denny's. It came in coffee press with brown sugar and warm milk on the side. Carolina said it reminded her of Italy or even in Mexico. To start we with given corn bread muffin to share with a side of butter. \n\nI ordered the Spanish Skillet and Carolina had the eggs benedict. They both came out with excellent presentations. It wasn't plastered all over the plate but rather they were separated by their own dishes. Carolina's \"eggs benny\" came with a side order of mashed potatoes. Both of our dishes came with a side order of fruit. What I found interesting was that the fruit dishes was solidified by what looked like a smidgen of mashed potatoes. An excellent idea to prevent plates from shifting. \n\nNext time Carolina is in town, we will definitely visit here for dinner. I would strongly suggest this place for a romantic evening. It is worth the 5 stars.", "Wow! What a find!\n\nEasy to miss, this restaurant is a hidden gem. Definitely pricey, but Wildflower Grill delivers some amazing food. Everything from the baked brioche to start the meal, to the Peppercorn Herb-Crusted Bison Tenderloin served with a chanterelle, fig & smoked cheddar bread pudding was amazing! I figured bread pudding should be a desert but this was an excellent addition to the main course. So tasty!\n\nI loved Wildflower. Not cheap, but definitely treat yourself!", "In celebrating our one year anniversary my boyfriend decided to take me to Wildflower Grill. It has been on my list of places that I have wanted to check out since I moved to Edmonton. It is inside the Matrix Hotel which looks similar to a hotel you would find in New York, sleek and modern design. \nWhen we arrived I was surprised to see that the restaurant was fairly empty for dinner and on a weekend. Regardless they still sat us at a table that was as close to the kitchen as you could get, how romantic. We figured that the other tables might be reserved for other diners, but an hour into the meal we discovered this was not the case.\nI usually am not a fan of regional Canadian cuisine, but the menu looked fairly creative and I was excited to see what it had to offer. My favorite part was that they had an in house sommelier so I could try something new. His pick was quite good with the dishes we decided to order.\nThe food was good, but for the price I wasn't extremely impressed. I had the filet with lobster and the lobster was overcooked. I really enjoyed the side dish that came with my boyfriend's meal. It was a simple mac and cheese, and I couldn't quite put my finger on what kind of cheese they used, but it was rich and delicious.\nI would go back to the Wildflower Grill, but there are quite a few other places I would rather try before giving dinner here another chance. However, after reading some of the other reviewers I would like to try their brunch. This is where all the rave reviews consistently seem to come from.", "This is the best restaurant in Edmonton. Enough said. I've been about 5 times in the last couple of years.\n\nMy fiance and I used to frequent il Portico before it was suddenly shut down. As an alternative, we decided to try Wildflower across the street one night for my birthday.\n\nI LOVE this place. It's modern inside, but still has a very cozy and initmate feel. \n\nThey also have a great wine and drink list, so I suggest trying a little bit of everything if you can. Ask the waiters, as they are VERY well versed in what wines pair well with what menu item, and what to suggest if you like a type of grape, but want to try something new.\n\nEvery meal begins with an amuse bouche to tease the palette. Next you are served freshly baked brioche with an accompaniment of a couple of different handmade butters.\n\nI highly recommend getting a full meal (appetizer, main course, dessert), to get the full experience. I order different things every time I'm there (I've had the lamb, the chicken, and the bison tenderloin so far), and have yet to have a bad meal. My fiance always orders their salmon cakes entree, which comes with lobster, scallops, gnocchi and more. It's always amazing and never disappoints. \n\nThe best part is, is you don't feel like you've eaten a ton of food. Compared to the Hardware Grill (which was good, but there was WAY too much food), this is perfectly portion controlled so you don't feel like you need to be rolled out of the restaurant.", "I can honestly say that the meal I had here was one of the best I've ever had. I went here for my graduation supper and was lucky enough to experience a custom menu. Everything was perfect, from the sweet pea soup to the fresh halibut. \n\nI've only ate there once but this is by far one of my most favourite places to eat." ]

[ "This is Americanized Mexican food in a franchaisable business, so don't review like it's La Lupe in South Philly.\n\nI personally love this place and have traveled \"over the border\" (aka: over the Walt Whitman bridge) to get their buttery corn cakes made from heaven dust (I added that last part). I could bath in corn cakes....warm, buttery, corn-cakey little balls of goodness.\n\nBut besides corn cakes, you can also get other food.\n\nThey are good about making your own combos, additions, negations and sides and still getting you the budget \"meal\" price they are advertising.\n\nI ALWAYS ask for guac and sour cream, refried beans instead of rice and extra corn cake. If you are still hungry after wings and apps, definitely get a combo (It's like $10 for a taco, fajitas, enchilada and two sides....or some other equally-stomach busting combination).\n\nSo if you are gun-ho small Mexican eateries that are authentic, spicy and hardly speak English, you don't want to eat here. But if you appreciate both the latter and good Mexican however you can get it even if the cooks aren't directly from Mexico, then you definitely need to take a trip to the DP.", "What made this place great was the comfortable atmosphere and friendly service. Our server was on top of everything. \nWe had a group of us including two 3 years olds and a 5 year old.. and everything still managed to go smoothly! \nThe food: The chips and salsa left a lot to be desired.. but they were ok. Nothing special. My burrito was quite tasty, although smaller than I thought it was going to be. My mom really enjoyed her enchilidas... she was raving throughout the meal actually.. and she's even pickier than I am! Also, my brother's margarita was delicious.. and I don't generally like margaritas. So, no complaints.\nMostly it's just another version of Chevy's.. It has a generic tex mex feel to it. But my experience was good! So I reccomend it.", "When this Don Pablo's first opened, I was into it. It's designed to be very hip, with high ceilings, lots of natural light and lots of splashy tex-mex themed decor. But over the years, the quality of the food has just gotten worse and worse. The service is always good, but on busy nights you'll have trouble getting a seat much less a server's attention. The bar is very cool and drinks are expensive but tasty. If you're going on a weekend, make reservations. But I'm one less person who you'll have to fight a table for, because I'm not going back. The food's not horrible, but there's still so many places to try, why waste time rehashing the same mediocre crap?", "Last night while sitting side by side in the nerd room my lovely girlfriend pointed out that I haven't given any 3 star reviews. This is mainly because I don't agree with the Yelp star system. Three stars is A-Ok, I take A-Ok to be a positive rating, but 3 stars is in the middle. My next mission is to petition Yelp to make 3 stars say something like \"Alright\" or more accurately \"Meh\". \nOk that got a little out of hand, so I'm salivating about what to have for lunch (while my poor leftovers get destroyed by the microwave) when I decided a little reverse psychology was needed. I asked myself \"Self, What wouldn't I like for lunch\" and I received my 3 star answer....Don Pablo's. \nI think success Don Pablo has had is directly attributed to location. I've eaten at the one in Easton, PA and it was also empty, but in Deptford you want to plan on waiting for a few mins on Friday/Saturday night. It's not that food is bad, but more a case of the food not being good. It's really mediocre at best. It there was a closer more ,convenient place to get some yellow cheese Mexican (my nifty little term for Americanized chain Mexican) I would go there. I've never had a issue with the service and the menu has all the regulars, but there's no wow factor...nothing that makes you think \"Now that was worth 1500 calories\". I don't have much more to say about Don Pablo's than Meh.....3 stars. It's not terrible, but certainly not good. I'm dumb and will probably end up eating there again.", "My friends and I were running errands around the Deptford Mall and wanted to get a quick bite to eat. We decided to head to Don Pablos. We got seated quickly, but our waitress only acknowledged that we were alive when I flagged her down to ask her to find our waiter...after we were seated for nearly 10 minutes. (We were so annoyed we started timing our service.) After she took our drink/food order, it took her another 7 minutes to bring us chips (with one bowl of salsa for three people) and our drinks. It then took another 23 minutes for us to get our food. \n\nMy friend ordered the Numero Uno Favorito. You would think ,since it's supposed to be the number one favorite combo, that the cooks and the wait staff would know what it included. The taco didn't have the typical fajita toppings (ironic, since it is all you can eat fajita night, right?) and the steak was cooked so well it was barely palatable. The chicken was so overcooked that it was also not edible. The manager came to our table twice to try to fix the food, but never once offered any resolution other than bring out more palatable meat.\n\nMy other friend ordered a chicken caesar salad. The lettuce was obviously old and again, the chicken was burnt.\n\nI got lucky and my food was ok...I probably ordered the stuff that they microwave and have a low probability of messing up.\n\nThe nail in the proverbial coffin of our trip was our waitress's attitude. At the end of the meal, she apologized for the horrific service and food that we received, but she told us that it was not her fault and that she had done everything that she could do. My friend told her, \"Well, you never did bring us the chips we asked for.\" She mumbled something about how her brain goes somewhere else when the meals come out. When we told her that we would never eat at another Don Pablos again, she said, \"Oh, I'm sorry.\"\n\nI cannot give today's meal-and dining experience--a bad enough review. I have no idea how this place stays in business...other than the fact that Deptford is so devoid of dining establishments that there are basically no other choices. I personally will never eat here or at another Don Pablos again. Complete fail.", "We were seated right away ....no wait on a Saturday night ! maybe it was slow because of Labor Day weekend... anyway, they gave us chips & salsa right away, waitress was very friendly..... had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes for a margarita...but the waitress apologized and said she forgot... I can live with that because she looked kinda busy.\n\nThe food was good, hot and nice sized portions. I don't think you'll get the best meal of your life here... but it was good. I will say that the cornbread that came with my Tacos was pretty tasty... it was more like spoon bread because they spooned it out like a ball of mashed potatoes..... thanks to the waitress for suggesting the corn bread :-)", "This place has gone down hill over the past 4 years. At first I enjoyed the food and service but at our last visit (March 2010), service was horrible, the drinks are too much mix (especially for top shelf Margarita) and the food is comparable to fast food. The chicken is overcooked (too burnt and tough). Too much money and indigestion.\n\nThe biggest pet peeve about this place is that you leave smelling like cooked onions. Yuck! Will never return.", "i love don pablo's for what it is - chain east coast tex-mex. as far as this genre goes, don pablo's blows its competition out of the water.\n\ngreat starters (i highly recommend the border dip) and filling, tasty entrees. nothing is perfectly done, and not even close to authentically done, but it all tastes pretty good and the portions are extremely large relative to the price.\n\nmargaritas and domestic drafts seem to always be on special, if that's your thing. dos equis amber on draft is a plus for me, even though it's not a \"special.\"\n\ndecor is corny and a bit forced, but family-friendly and very large and open, so the waits never get too long.\n\nservers can be spotty, but for the most part are friendly, quick and attentive. i often go with my parents who tend to make borderline creepy remarks (my dad once asked our waiter if he was on facebook) and make tons of messes (same father spills an entire glass of diet coke every other visit), and they're good-natured about everything for the most part.\n\nall in all, don pablo's is a surprisingly above-average dining option in the chain store wasteland that is south jersey.", "We have only lived in this area for about three years, so everything is pretty much new to us. One visit to Don Pablo's a couple of years ago was enough. It was mediocre at best and inedible(way too salty to eat) at worst. When I pointed this out to our indifferent server, she just shrugged. This was our first and last visit to this establishment.", "My fiance and I go there everytime we go out to eat during the week and sometimes on weekends. We love the food, the service and the prices. I can't say enough of much we love going there. If one of us even mention Don Pablos to each other we are in the car and on our way there. We love Mexican and this is the perfect place to go." ]

[ "Richie's is one of the go-to places to get food on Temple's campus. It's one of the few permanent food stands (mostly, there are food trucks on campus), and it's located in the middle of a row of permanent food stands on 12th Street next to the Tech Center and Anderson Hall, and across from the Library. Richie's is great. I like to mix it up and go to different food stands/trucks on campus, but I always end up at Richie's at least once a week when I'm on campus. Richie, the owner, is really cool, and he's always been there when I've gone to get food. Usually, I get a turkey burger, but he sells all sorts of other food, from wraps to salads to pizza. He's even got vegetarian options. You can pay with Diamond Dollars (if you're a Temple student) or cash, and you can even place an order online 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. I've never ordered online, though, so I don't know how that works. This place is almost always super busy, so the best time to go is when classes are in session. You've got to time it so that you aren't getting there to order as classes are switching, or else you'll end up in line. I don't usually mind waiting, though, unless I have to be somewhere on campus, and I always get my food quickly, even if there is a line. I love this place.", "Richie's has great credibility and huge fans. Richie is the guy who actually owns the place and he is the most personable guy you'll ever meet! He remembers everyone's name and you'll be charmed by him in one conversation. The food is great and decently priced and the service is fast considering the number of people who go! On my friend's birthday, Richie gave him a free hoagie; my friend doesn't even remember when he told him it was his birthday lol If you want yummy junk food with great service, go here!", "Richie's ROCKS! I go there multiple times per week and every single time I've been pleased with both the food and the service. Richie's selection is so big, I could live off what he has to offer! Love my egg and cheese sandwiches in the morning before class and the occasional chicken pizza wrap if I'm craving one for lunch or dinner. Richie has a personality worthy of being on his own TV show and a friend of mine even said he could sit there all day watching Richie do his thing. He is known across Temple's campus for memorizing customers' names and orders and that's what makes his service all the more special. The food only makes it that much better :) Not only that, it's affordable! Be forewarned though, it does get crowded in the mornings when most people are getting coffee and breakfast before class and during the lunch hour, but that's a good sign, isn't it?", "Gotta love Richie, great guy that always seems in a good mood. Even if the food wasn't good (which certainly is not the case,) you'd want to keep going back just for the good service.\n\nI usually go for one of the numbered wraps, my favorite being the buffalo chicken but there's something like 10-12 to choose from. And then every other pizza shop food you can imagine.\n\nTasty, quick food if you are ever on temple's campus.", "Customer service is where it's at. Look at this place. Decent lunch and breakfast food. I mean it all tastes great but it's just basic stuff, nothing different from the trucks on campus. Except one thing.. RICHIE! He's the man, he's made himself a local celebrity on campus with his great attitude and awesome service. I'm telling you he's a genius because why do I choose to come here over any other place on campus? Richie of course.", "#14 will change your life. richie is a great guy who definitely cares about his customers. i go here more than any other spot on campus due to the reasonable prices and the deliciousness. #14#14#14", "Richie is great! Order the #2, it's amazing!", "Richie is just a great guy and makes you want to go visit him just to see how he's doing. He's one of those people that after you order there twice he knows your face and generally remembers what you order. \n\nI used to get a grilled ham and cheese with tomato on wheat about 17 times a week, but then he changed the kind of ham and I wasn't partial to it so I started switching up meal choices. \n\nChicken parm sandwich is awesome, as is the chicken salad. My friend always gets the grilled chicken honey mustard sammie and swears by it. They've got pretty decent cheesesteaks as well!", "I get the feeling that my friends go back mostly for Richie. Richie IS super awesome but the food is average. I've had knockout sandwiches from a few of the trucks around campus (Eddie's on Montgomery, especially.) Richie's sandwiches are merely Wawa-level decent. Seriously: the Italian hoagie I got there was like a facsimilie of Wawa's. I got a chicken parm there once too which would have been good had it come on a long roll. I think that's an option but I was springing for the combo with curly fries. Haven't really dug the sandwiches but I have been back for those curly fries! I've heard good things about Richie's wraps and, since I walk past it at least once a day, I'll have to try one sometime. \n\nRichie himself - 5\nRichie's sandwiches -2", "I eat at Richie's M-W-F before my early morning class and sometimes a quick lunch when I'm in a hurry and I'm such a fan. The food is always freshly made, the service is fast, and Richie always knows my order when I come to the window. It's an A+ in my book." ]
