I really only get the fried rice togo here, and I'm always searching for good house special FR. Its a full meal in itself. Anyway its pretty good here, lots of meat and veggies, rice is tender and you get a couple or stuffed wontons for free with the order....those are good too. They don't deliver but usually have preorders hot and ready for you. Good place with a wide selection and a picture menu on the counter just in case.... Owner who takes the orders is kinda rude.. but the house fried rice is off the chain.. Ordered 2 Chicken Dishes. \nThey both tasted like they were cooked in old/burnt oil.\nCould not eat anything that I ordered.\n\nAdditionally, I did not like the fact that inside there as a dirty fish aquarium with a fish that was 1/3 the size of the tank. Cruel. \n\nNot Recommended! Best chicken chow mein real fresh. The outside of the building looks sketchy but dammit the food is real fresh and good. Definitely recommend this place. I wish they delivered. I love sesame chicken here. Sweet and crispy. The sauce very good sweet tasted. Very good price and delicious.

I am a big fan of Big Al's at the lake. As soon as you walk into the bar it feels like your local hometown bar from back home. The staff treats everyone like they are a regular. You always have a full drink in front of you and there are plenty of tv's to watch the game. The biggest reason why Al's is so good is the wings. They have the best wings in the Charlotte area period. I recommend getting the traditional buffalo style and also try the honey habanero. Their wings are huge and have unreal flavor! The restaurant is NOT closed! They have plans to re-open just across the parking lot, in a new and improved building! It is coming soon! I hear in March, Fingers Crossed! Food is always good, and the people are friendly. The employees know all the customers, and if they don't know you, they make it a point to get to know you. All in all, a wonderful home town bar. Check it out, their wings are amazing! fast service with a smile, the girls there are really cool and a little rough but I like that. best wings in town by far... great place for kids but bring quarters for the video games and sit in the back ... good place to watch a game and drink beer with friends. Food was good. Went for Thursday night football. 49 cent wings! Yeah! I really like this bar, great service and the average bar food you'd pretty much expect. Lots of TVs and darts, etc. It's a fun place to go.

Good food, fair price, excellent service, nice place to sit outside for a peaceful lunch. Hands down, the best burger place in the Phoenix area. The burgers are grass-fed beef and delicious! I'm not all hipster and stuff, but grass-fed truly is so much better than any of those chain places. It's good and bad that they are never busy. They even made me a special treat for my birthday!! I worry that it will close before it's appreciated for what it offers. Come and enjoy this place as I do!!!!!! This place is a joke they think their burgers are made of gold... I wanted to like this place but the truth is no matter how good your burger is paying 17 dollars for a half pound burger fries and a small drink is ridiculous. It is just like the overpriced indulge burger that used to be in this location that closed down. I will not be coming back here as I don't like paying ridiculous prices for things that are not that great to begin with. The bun is super small, the burger is greasy, non seasoned and tasteless for only 10 bucks. I guess the fries are okay for only 4 bucks more. Then you pay 3 bucks for a cup that holds about 5 cents of soda. I don't see this place being here long. Stopped in on a Thursday at 5:30 PM and was the only customer there. Food was clean but overall very disappointing. I think they are trying to model themselves after Smashburger. I ordered the "Big Big Burger" and a medium onion rings. The burger was just okay, but nothing special. The onion rings looked terrific, but were flavorless and had an odd mushy texture. I spent most of the meal trying to figure out what they used for breading that came out so weird. Maybe pancake batter? \n\nI could tell the staff was trying hard to please, but the food was very disappointing. The owners need to go back and rethink the menu and recipes completely. I\'m not planning to return. First timer, Never Again!!!\nTonight was my first time eating here. It is conveniently located by my house, so I decided to pick something up on my way home. My first sign should have been a totally empty restaurant at 6:30pm. Cashier was friendly. I ordered a cheeseburger and the fries/onion rings side to go. \nI got home and pulled everything out of the bag (that now seemed to be saturated with grease). The fries looked so limp and drenched with grease. The onion rings were also limp and not crispy at all. Like the exact opposite of crispy - mushy and the batter was falling off. At this point I was totally unimpressed. Then I bit into my burger, and the entire inside of my burger was RAW MEAT! I started pulling it apart to make sure it wasn't just one section, but the entire thing was RAW! And the patty was so thin, it's like the cook had no idea how long it should have been on the grill?!? I fed the burger patty to my dog and threw the rest in the trash. I seriously could have had a better burger (and fries) at McDonalds, for half the price. \nI called the to store, spoke to the manager and let her know. She was apologetic and offered to remake my food and deliver it, but I declined. I'm sick to my stomach (literally). Maybe this was a fluke, but I will not be spending my money here ever again. I mean, how do you mess up French fries?!?

Stopped by NYHDS based on the Yelp! Reviews and proximity to where we were staying. Great little hot dog joint. Employees were super friendly and accommodating. Service was spot on. $1.65 chili dogs! Chili dogs were kinda of small, but for $1.65, get TWO! And they were delicious. My wife got the homemade chicken noodle soup and I got the Ruben special. Enjoyed everything! Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Great food exceptional price value. Friendly service, no CC. Highly recommended for good old fashioned hot dogs and home cooked meals. Great food exceptional price value. Highly recommended for good old fashioned hot dogs and home cooked meals. I've been coming here since I was a small child. The waitresses are soooo nice and their food is great too! It is cash only so be prepared :) I don't have anything bad to say! Great place. Today I had the pleasure of taking my boys to the hotdog shop. As soon as we walked in we were taken back in time to the diners of my childhood. L-shaped counter seating with tiny booths made the room welcoming. We were immediately greeted and asked to sit anywhere we want. The diner was filled with mailman, police officers and Township workers! I always say eat where the locals eat.\nFor lunch we ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup, my sons favorite. My other son ordered battered french fries and a grilled hotdog. I \nHad a very simple cheese burger on a plain bun and it was great! \nThe people working behind the counter were absolutely some of the friendliest people I have met in a while. Helping out with suggestions and answering all of our questions.\nThey have daily lunch specials that range from grilled salmon to brisket. The specials range in price from 5.99 to 8.99. They are only open till 3 PM so do not plan to have dinner there. They also only take cash. Our whole meal with drinks and a tip was $15. There are not many places left I can take three people out to lunch for five dollars a person. \nIf you're driving down 19 and looking for a nice bite be sure to stop here. This place is the real deal.

Thanks for giving me pizza so old the cheese is no longer melted. You would think they could at least heat it. Oh I know because the bottom was already burned.They heated it slightly. Hope I don't get sick Don\'t get the spinach Stromboli. Tasted like dirt and weeds. The marinara "sauce" was just red liquid. Terrible terrible terrible.\n\nThe people working didn\'t really seem invested in anything as well. Worst pizza ever yeech! Gotta also love being overcharged, yay! Worst customer service ever! Older lady asked what we wanted then immediately turned away and walked to the back. Never came back to help. The guy making the pizzas had to help us. The women at the register had no idea what she was doing..took almost 5 minutes to ring us up. Then after I handed her my card she asked if I wanted it still. \nWill never be going there again. Worst customer service ever. There is an older lady who is just a witch to everyone. Treats customers like they are just bothering her. Fixed the issue walked away and won't eat here.

Im so glad I read the reviews on here and this could be hands down one of the best Italian restaurants on the West Coast. Ive eaten in North Beach, Italy, New York etc..\n\nBut this little gem in Vegas is no joke. The best service from Kurt! Went there for my birthday, he chose my entree, dessert, and drinks with an amazing confidence and chose wisely! Enjoyed the meal fully and had good laughs with Kurt! Everything was very delightful and delicious! Kurt provided EXCEPTIONAL service and dinner was absolutely phenomenal, as usual. I love having this amazing restaurant in my neighborhood. Oh the pasta here is definitely one of the bests in town by far! Great portions their huge! Very friendly staff and service was wonderful. Couldn't ask for more! Good food is always better when great service is provided also. No complaints about the food. I love the baked clams,just like I had when I was a kid in Bensonhurst Brooklyn,soak up the wonderful garlic juices with their fresh bread. Our friends had the veal shank,it was huge and fell off of the bone,never tasted anything like it. I had the Marsala,chicken this time but the veal is great also. My wife had the eggplant parm this time,tasted like a light cheesy eggplant dream. \nAnother plus? Carlos Santana was here this evening at the counter,a regular from what we've been told,and it was a pleasure to meet and talk to him.

Checked out Mill Street Brewery and we we're very impressed. Service was great food was amazing and the beer was sooo good. Well after i said all these wonderful things about Mill Street Brewery our waitress settled up with us then we waited approximately 10 to 15 minutes before a manger came up to us asking of we are ok we said we weren't and we would like to order another round. Then it took 5 more minutes more for the other waitress to take our order so a little disappointed. Took the rating of this place from a 5 to a 3. I've been to Mill Street Brew Pub a couple of times now and I have to say that I am pleased overall at both the service, and quality of food that I received. To me, it makes a world of a difference to have a chef driven menu which makes use of some of the beers they produce on site. This is no ordinary 'brew pub' type food. \nOn our second visit, we brought some out of towners for a tour (daily at 4 pm I think) and a taste. They were really impressed because by the time we were ready to order, a 4 beer tasting flight was on special for $6! Since we were also feeling snacky, we demolished the layered dip and the mushroom bruschetta, both were outstanding. \nI haven't really found a beer here that rocked my socks yet, but I'm willing to keep on trying until I do. \nNOTE: The vet's office next door is super serious about towing vehicles. Went here shortly after it opened. The beer selection was ok but the food left a lot to be desired . Wings were tasteless and the perogies had no onions inside!! They asked for feedback and when I mentioned the lack of onion they pointed out onion was on the side !! This is ridiculous . That\'s like ordering a burger abd receiving ground beef on the side. The guy offered to buy me a beer next time I\'m there but after paying a $400 bill this "gesture" just made me even more annoyed . I like the way you can see the beer vats though \n\nEdit : after being here several times since id like to upgrade my rating to 4 stars. Looks like they had teething issues when I was there last. Still not too happy about what happened above but I\'m liking the growler take out service. 12.50 for 2 litres ain\'t too shabby Went here shortly after it opened. The beer selection was ok but the food left a lot to be desired . Wings were tasteless and the perogies had no onions inside!! They asked for feedback and when I mentioned the lack of onion they pointed out onion was on the side !! This is ridiculous . That\'s like ordering a burger abd receiving ground beef on the side. The guy offered to buy me a beer next time I\'m there but after paying a $400 bill this "gesture" just made me even more annoyed . I like the way you can see the beer vats though Mill street makes good beer. Service has always been really good. Havent tried much food here so no comment. Will be back

The epitome of "country kitchen". The sweet staff and obviously fresh home cooked meals warmed me from the inside out. I felt like I was back at grandma\'s. The items on the menu and decor are very...how do I say this...Anglo Saxon? So if you\'re in the mood for something very traditional, they\'ve got it. If you\'re in the mood for something exciting, keep walking. I\'ll probably never go back again, but that\'s not because it left me unsatisfied, but because I can\'t imagine ever being back in Schomberg again. The food here is definitely not something you see everyday. It\'s a mishmash of eastern spices along with some, I suppose, what you could call "Canadian Cuisine" although I\'m not sure what exactly that would be.\n\nOverall the food has a very home made to it and it\'s certainly not bad, and on the healthier side of things (low sodium etc.) I suspect to fit the main elderly clientele of this place.\n\nThat said, I had a chicken wrap which was just terrible! The pita was stale and broke apart as soon as I tried to take a bite. The chicken was drenched in mayo and straight out of the fridge, still hovering at around 4-5 degrees centigrade probably. Yes, they use cute napkins, cutlery and plates but those are no excuse for sub-par food. The rest of our group tried some other fare (after the special on the board turned out to not be available!) which were OK. Portions, at least for lunch, are tiny as well so don\'t go here on an empty stomach expecting to get full at a reasonable price.\n\nOverall this place is a bit quirky and I guess it has it\'s own local clientele judging most of the 5-6 tables were occupied. It might even have a certain cuteness factor to it but it\'s one of those places Robert Irvine won\'t stop shaking his head looking at all the stuff hanging and dwindling all over the place.\n\nOne thing to note: We didn\'t try their pastries and I believe that was a big mistake. We probably would have had a far better experience with their pastries as they looked quite tasty on the other patron\'s plates.\n\nAlas, for our experience I can unfortunately only give a Meh 2* rating considering the high price and the poor quality of my wrap specifically. Get the homemade meat or chicken pot pies for home. Unusually load up and put in freezer. Quick easy meal when home. So good!! Martin I was recommended to try this place by a friend who is a returning customer, who had great things to say about the food.\nDecided to try it out in the summer of 2015 with the same friend and we were really excited to go. \nIt is a cute, cottage-style restaurant on Main Street, which is around the corner from where I live. When we arrived, it was around lunch and extremely crowded, almost overwhelmingly in such a small place. We were offered to find ourselves a seat (???) so we took to the patio to feel less congested (also because there were no seats with enough sitting space inside). Out there, there was a table but only one chair, which we had to wait for. \nWhen we finally both sat down, we ordered 2 fresh lemonades which were SO fresh and delicious. The menu is very underwhelming, however I've heard that they have recently improved it. I ordered a BLT and my friend ordered half a BLT with a side soup. I would rate my BLT as the #1 that I've ever had! Trying to locate the waitress was difficult as it was so busy and there was only one working. Definitely recommend the brownie, which is HUGE for a great price!\nOverall, great food, lacking service. I've been coming to Sheena's since I was a little kid. If you are looking to visit Shomberg with small children, I remember my visits with a pleasant nostalgia, theres a small park along on the main street and connections to trails nearby activity wise.\nComing from the city you wont be blown away by Sheena's service or their latest update to the dining room which consists of plastic table cloths.\nThe food is all like something my English grandmother would make; quiche, shepherds pie, scones and sugar cookies, its good north-western european comfort food.\nThe store adjacent to the tea room is always full of fun reclaimed antiques and trinkets which are really grounding with a cow printed pillow priced at $20.00 which would be sold at Urban Outfitters to serve some gen-x longing for irnoy at $50.00.\nIf you ever find yourself stranded in Shomberg during Sheena's hours of operation, stop in for a spot of tea.

This location is-Eh...okay. For much of the summer the ice cream was half melted. They seem to have fixed that problem. My other issues with this location center around cleanliness/sanitation. Went there last night. We were the only ones there and the two employees were in the back. One was on her phone and did not look like she wanted to be bothered. Incidentally, every table was filthy. I can understand if you're busy not being able to clean up quickly after every customer, but there was nothing going on and the tables were in serious need of wiping. Then the other employee came out and went to wait on us after touching his hair and not washing his hands. My husband had to tell him to wash his hands. Things are not always this bad but last night had us not eager to return.\n\nWent there tonight because my kids wanted ice cream. Had to ask the employee to wash his hands after handling money. Who trains these folks? Agree that the ice cream and other products are awesomely delicious. My only criticism is that the 8 plus times I have gone, it it filthy. I have never seen someone cleaning other than the owner and the floors are sticky, messy, the seating area sticky and window sills dusty. Needs daily maintenance for me to honestly give it a 5. Sorry guys, good to get BR ice cream but not as pleasant as it could be if only it were CLEAN... Delicious ice cream, helpful store staff, and a very close to the freeway location. We liked it and will stop again on a future trip thru the desert. Always a great treat\n\n Baskin-Robbins has always been a lot time favorite of mine. Quality confections, quickly prepared and reasonably priced.\n\n The staff is always friendly and service is always fast. The hardest part of my visit is making a selection with so many flavors to choose from.\n\nOnce you make a selection you will have your ice cream in hand within minutes, reguardless of how busy the store is. So if your looking for geeat icecream head to Baskin-Robbins for a mouth-watering experience. Dirty, dirty, dirty. Small scoops. I can tell this place just changed management. Too bad.

We love arbys! My kids are especially in love with the curly fries. We frequent this location at least once a month, and have always received good service and hot food. The only bad part is the location, 303 has become a huge traffic problem and it can be difficult to get in and out of the parking lot. The staff @ the Brunswick Arby\'s are so very nice. They really go out if there way to help someone out and really seem to like working @ Arby\'s!\n\nI ring the "Yelp" bell for you. Thank you for the pleasant experience! I'm giving this establishment 2 stars only cause my son loves his roast beef sandwiches from here. \nMy girlfriend just called to tell me that the young lady at the window gave her a death glare when asking for napkins. And this is after sitting in the drive thru behind two cars waiting 10 min for her food. \nHold on, I have another story.....\nWhile I'm here I might as well tell you what happen 8 months or so ago. \nAlso going through the drive thru with my son and dog Lacey. I asked for the fish sandwiches w cheese. When I arrived at the window I over hear the woman tell the sandwich making professional to not forget the cheese. Before she hands me the bag she confirms that they put cheese on the fish. \nI receive my bag and drive off when I decide to check to see if there is cheese on the fish. \nI mean, after being told by a screen and twice by the server at the window you would think it would be on there. Well as you might have guessed by now, it wasn't. \nI did go in and have some simple choice words w the gentleman in the back as to why he didn't put cheese on it after all that. \nNo response was made but by the window attendant with an apology. \n\nI do sincerely hope they get it together. This Arby's does it right. The food was hot and fresh. We had a large group dining in and they had our food ready in just a couple minutes. I had a Nashville fish sandwich, which was a bit spicy and pretty tasty. I love the potato cakes too!\n\nGood food. Good service. I'll visit again. Service was slow and severally understaffed. Got order incorrect and didn't not have what I ordered in addition. Won't be back!

This place used to be a great spot for a quick meal, or an option when the weather is bad outside, because they are never busy you could get in and out. However the last two times I\'ve went down there I have stood at the grill station for a few mins and ignored by the 2 guys back there. I\'ve left and went somewhere else. It\'s a shame that even when a place is so dead they don\'t want to wait on you. The food was always "ok" at best but now with the poor service twice in a row I won\'t be back. I've been here a few times for lunch uptown. Its nothing amazing but its extremely convenient since its located in the Wells Fargo building. If you're looking for quick and simple lunch, this is the place to come. You can avoid lines and its very quite with a view out the window towards the street. cafeteria style eating with made to order grill area. Food was fast and I had a good breakfast sandwich . I love the grill here. The guys working it are great, and will pretty much make anything to order. My favorite is the VEGGIE BURGER, which is made of a unique combination of brown rice and veggies. It's not your standard Boca or Gardenburger. They have a good variety of buns and bread that are fresh and delicious. The fries are great, and you can even get onion rings or grilled onions (or most anything else) added to your sandwich. Recently they also started offering a PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICH and a GRILLED MARGHERITA SANDWICH. I love a place that offers multiple vegetarian options! \n\nThe salad bar is also pretty good, but even my meatless salads end up fairly expensive (by the pound pricing). \n\nBy far, the best value is their grill breakfast items. Pancakes, waffles, any type of eggs or sandwiches... typically for somewhere between $2-$5. A HUGE omelette with veggies and cheese never costs me more than $4. I love it; it's a steal. Plus, they execute well, especially if you tell the guys what particularities you have. \n\nDon't expect much ambience. It's basically a cafeteria, but for a quick lunch, that suits me just fine. It\'s hilarious that this place is called "College Place" because it is almost exactly like the cafeteria at my college. Right down to the waffle maker. Except it isn\'t "all you can eat bacon"... and I wonder why I gained the freshman 30....\n\nANYWAYS. I\'ve been here a couple of times, and your experience just depends on the day. Breakfast isn\'t usually too busy, and they have a made-to-order station with most of your breakfast staples (omelets, pancakes, bacon, eggs, etc.). I\'m a particular fan of the made to order because you decide what goes in the stuff you are eating. HOWEVER... close to 5 bucks seems a bit excessive for a 2 egg omelet with one protein and 3 veggies.\n\nLunch gives you a lot of options. Made to order hamburger station (with the aforementioned sweet potato fries, holla), the hot lunch and MTO pasta (with daily specials), and a pretty good salad bar with good protein choices and different soups of the day (Au Bon Pain).\n\nThis is one of those places that you could eat here every day and probably never have the same thing, plenty of options to choose from. It\'s cafeteria quality food from a cafeteria. You are getting exactly what you expect you should be getting.

This is the best place for weekly live music, great food, and awesome libations. Make sure you ask for Molly. She's by far the best server in town. Rustic-looking neighborhood sports bar with a pretty extensive beer selection and some good food selections. Not posh but not quite a dive either. The customers seem to be mainly from the neighborhood, but you won't feel unwelcome if you're from somewhere else. Giant TV screens all around the bar for a good view of the Cavs or Browns; crowded but not overcrowded during games, it does get loud like most sports bars do. \nThey seem to be making an effort to provide interesting food selections as a way of differentiating themselves from the many, many other area bars. Foodwise, I am not really into tacos at a bar but they did recently start carrying Bobo's Smokin' BBQ on Sundays, so I am most likely to go get me some of that, since it's very good. WE LOVE O'Tooles!!! The food and drinks are amazing...Except, when they are really busy there is not enough staff to cover drinks, and food appropriately. First indication should have been that this is a Lakewood bar and only 4 people there at happy hour. Service started off as adequate. As we sat there we watched the singer get drunk on Manhattans, and i guess it didn't matter because the band was so loud you couldn't hear him anyway. We ordered food, another mistake, after we ordered we were told that that kitchen was 5 doors down, and they walked it to the bar from the parking lot (wonder if health dept knows that) The fish dinner was brought to us cold, and then the barmaid said she would take it off the bill and they were out of fish. Wings were luke warm, and tasteless. the barmaids attitude changed as soon as we complained, i think they forgot who the customers really were. As a whole this was a bad experience, and i would not recommend them to anyone. Hands down, the best boneless wings I have ever had. They are becoming kind of an issue for me, especially considering I can get them via Uber Eats. These aren't your typical boneless wings, they are juicy, white meat chicken. Perfect amount of breading, incredible sauces, and you get a pound of them!? \nI have also dined in for happy hour, & it's your typical townie sports bar. They have ample tv's + a large projection on the wall. Keno, darts, and touchtunes. Not a bad place to hang out and service wasn't bad either.

I feel so sorry for the wait staff at this dump.\nThe food is sub sub sub par, they don\'t have the proper training to make cocktails, the only people there are the regulars who crowd the bar area drinking domestic beer and talking about smells and sick while the rest of the place is empty.\nI walked in and had to sit alone in a 4 person booth cause the bar was taken up by the high I mean the low rollers..\nI ordered a stake dinner and an Amaretto sour, after checking if they had Amaretto I got a glass of almost pure lemonade with no sugar on the rim. By the time my food came I was biting on ice cubes and was bored out of my mind. The dish looked like someone had taken a huge dump on my plate and garnished it with ONE SLICE OF TOMATOE.. weird weird stuff..\nAs I ate my coal stake I ordered a sidecar, the poor girl looked at me like I was from Mars, she said she didn\'t know how to make one but she will google it.\nWhat I got was a rocks glass of pure cognac which almost sent me in to a fit when I took a sip expecting a sweet taste to wash down the burnt coal I was eating, instead I got a mouth full of pure alcohol.. \nWhen I asked why my drink tastes like pure cognac the girl said "we just had that same talk as we made it, its pure cognac" Yet they still served it to me.. \nThe owner of this place should be getting inspected every month for the next 12 months or be shut down asap..\nThis is the WORST pub I have EVER visited in my 35 years..\nWhat a shame.. I ordered the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and the ribs for my main entree, the ribs were cold in the middle and warm on the outside , which makes me believe they were microwaved... the mozzarella sticks were frozen and something I could purchase at the local grocery store and heat up myself ... very poor quality do not recommend It was a Sunday night and my partner and I decided to go to this pub for some late night food. We were greeted at the bar and since I have been here before I knew there was a pool table and somewhere to sit upstairs we got a couple drinks and went there. \n\nWe were alone on the 2nd level and it was around 10:00PM at night. It was great to take my date here because we didn't really have to share the upstairs with anyone else. There was a pool table, darts, a chalkboard, a foosball, a table, a fireplace and a lounge area... Need I say more? \n\nThe waitress came upstairs and asked us for our order and came back with it in reasonably time (15 minutes or so) Though we were having a great time upstairs having fun, it really didn't seem too long. We got wings and nachos and we lounged around eating and drinking some wine and beer, and doing some of the activities.\n\nThere are places to sit at booths, at the bar or on high tables on the 1st level. The view from the bottom of the restaurant and the view from the top of the 2nd floor are great. There are multiple televisions for watching sports too as well as Karaoke on specific nights. \n\nThere are parts in the interior that seem to be part of a feed mill from back in the day which was interesting! It is a rustic and country feel. The food is good, though this is a place I believe that thrives on it's environment, atmosphere and entertainment. \n\nA great place for a adventurous and casual date with your partner. Each day is different atmosphere whether it is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It may be worth it to call ahead to see how busy it is.\n\nDue to our good timing and since it wasn't busy, we had a good time and it was good food. I had one of the best bowls of soup ever here! The place I was headed to pick up some lunch was closed for renos and there was a sign pointing next door. It turned out to be a very nice surprise. The service was really good and everyone in there seemed to be really enjoying the experience. I ordered take out and watched the food coming out of the kitchen. My mouth was watering as it looked and smelled wonderful. We were all happy with our take out order but I will be back to sit and eat some of that food I witnessed everyone else enjoying. I just had a hamburger here with fries and I can tell you it's the best hamburger I have had in a long time. I go to Burger Priest once and a while but this tasted way better than theirs. It's fresh everyday I am told. No frozen burgers here. The place has a nice rustic feel and they have a deck patio at the back that is quite nice with a quiet view of some trees. Highly recommended.

By far the MOST EXPENSIVE taco shop I have ever been to! $15.00 for a plain, cheese quesadilla and (4) rolled tacos, these were NOT combination plates either. No rice and beans, just the quesadilla and rolled tacos! I was so shocked by these prices considering the same items cost me less that $10 at any Roberto's or Don Tortaco! Not only is this place expensive, the cheese they use has a weird flavor to it that I did not enjoy. Fortunately, I was able to give my expensive meal to a, very appreciative homeless person, so it wasn't a total waste. The shop itself is pretty ghetto with a broken back door and just, overall dirtiness/run down on the inside. You would think with the prices they charge, they could fix the place up a bit! Needless to say, I will never go to this place again. I am basing this review strictly on their "CARNE ASADA BURRITO". \n\nI\'ve been frequenting this place for years. I\'ve tried the other Tacos Mexico chains around town, but for some reason the one on the EASTCYDE tastes better to me. I\'m probably just trippin.\n\nLocated on Maryland Parkway and Charleston blvd. Grimy. You gotta love it. \n\nThese folks are open 24/7. Late night grinds are great here, but use the buddy system.\n\nNow back to said subject...\n\nOh their CARNE ASADA BURRITO... I remember when this beast was less than $5.00. This burrito to me has stolen my heart. I\'ve tried other burritos at other joints. They were all very good, but I find myself comparing them to the Tacos Mexico CARNE ASADA BURRITO on Charleston and Maryland. A perfect combination of beans, Spanish rice, onions, and asada. Always comes out solid and greaseless. I always opt for Chile for that extra kick, and then I dump their red hot sauce all over that thing. The girth of this burrito will make you blush!!!\n\nTill this day, I will always support Tacos Mexico\'s carne asada burrito. \n\nEYE LIKA CHU PEOPLES!!! The staff was super rude. They gave attitude. Would never eat here again. We asked to speak with the manager and they said he want there but he was. Cheap, good tacos. Solid. Make sure to check your receipt. The cashier charged me 9 dollars for a 6 dollar burrito.when I asked her about it she tried to tell me it was because of takes. Then because of a soda then finally she said it was just extra that day. And also the food is basic at best.try tacos el Gordo or Pepe's instead save your self the hassle and disappointment.if you want great food stay away from here.

Great food!! The linguine with clam sauce (white) was great! the fried hot banana peppers are to die for!!!!! I happened to be in the area for business and stopped by for dinner - I went out of my way to find this place because of the positive reviews, and I found them to be accurate ("no-frills good Italian"). The chicken parm and fresh spaghetti I had were ok, not great, but I also ordered a side of meatballs and that was very good. The Italian wedding soup, marinara sauce and the bread were really enjoyable. The waitress was attentive and friendly, and the big band/crooner soundtrack added to the experience. If I lived in this area, I would eat here again gladly. Ravioli was wonderful. Wait staff feels like you know them already. Don't get the half order of anything, it's not worth it... Italian leftovers never hurt anybody, ask your mama. Went here with friends food was ok wasn't a big fan pasta was gummy... food wasn't hit when came out. Wouldn't recommend Well done! \n\nWe went out for an early Sunday dinner. All six, including a couple picky eaters, were pleased with the food. I had the eggplant parmesan with a side of pasta. The ingredients tasted fresh and were well prepared, though not necessarily the best in Italian food. The dipping oil for the bread, for example, wasn't necessarily the best olive oil, though it was indeed a nice touch to the table.\n\nThe things that bumped the score up from a three to four star: was the excellent service; nice, clean decor; simple and straight-forward menu and family-run vibe. \n\nI would recommend it for a nice dinner with kids or parents. We'll be going there again.

I had planned for a special mother daughter dinner at this restaurant, my experience was TERRIBLE to say the least, waited for 15 minutes just to be ignored by the entire restaurant staff, i think they may have a lot of customers because of which a new customer is not important to them.When it comes to customer service if there is a level worse that crap then they belong in that special category. Well done Mamma Mia Trattoria. I love this restaurant!\n\nThe atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, the services has always been great and the food is amazing. \n\nI have had the wine, risotto balls and pizza several times and never been disappointed. Mama Mia has been around for a while and at this location for a couple years. It's located across the street from Upper Canada Mall in an outdoor plaza. It's not overly appealing from the exterior, but once inside it has a welcoming and clean decor and a somewhat authentic Italian feel.\n\nThe food has potential, BUT CUT BACK ON THE SALT! The sauces have the necessary spices, so why drown it in salt? \n\nBeing the brave soul I am, I ordered the snail appetizer. It's clear this is not fresh, which they are aware of, since they put it on toast and drowned it in tomato sauce.\n\nMussel appetizer, also not fresh, but this one you can't freeze. Had that slightly bad smell. Not enough to stop me eating them, but enough that I would not order again. It became clear at this point that every dish included the exact same tomato sauce, which is way to thick to the point of being tomato paste.\n\nLastly was the veal chop with peppercorn sauce. Medium rare done right, but a little fatty. I would recommend it though. I paid extra to get penne al vodka as the side. This could have been good if they removed the salt. Following up on my last post, the risotto balls, pizza, wine and chocolate mousse cake are great. The risotto balls are crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside with a delicious marinara sauce. The pizza crust it perfectly thin, crispy and soft and the topping are always fresh and flavour full. \n\nI tried the creme br\xc3\xbbl\xc3\xa9e and was very disappointed. The dessert was completely cold because it was just taken out of the fridge and the texture was not creamy at all, it was too eggy and spongy. Good food and friendly service. Service can be a bit slow. This is usually do to the kitchen. The owner is the chef. Prices are competitive. Been a regular customer for four years and never a problem.

Been having Dantes forever. One of the best pizzas in the city. Ingredients are top notch and fresh. My go to is steak pepperoni and green olives on the pizza. Simply unbeatable \n\nNote: their sizes are larger than normal. Order a mini for two ppl. It will be plenty. I'm going to get so fat because this place is too frikin good..... Please bring back the Italian Wedding Soup.... Please!!\nTry the beef ravioli with vodka sauce .... Just do it..\nIs Dante's across the street still in business????\nI think it would be funny if Dante's goes out of biz, and then Paoletti's can take over their lease for cheap!!! Hahaahahahaah This is my favorite Italian restaurant absolutely delicious and worth every penny! My favorite is the steak and cheese sandwich been ordering this sandwich for 25 years and never tire of this Finally the Dante's recipe!\n\nPaoletti's Pizza was originated from one of the original owners of Dante's Pizza.\n\nDante Paoletti opened up directly across the street from the original Dante's Restaurant.\n\nThe most negative compaint from the original Dante Pizza was the fact that there are just too expensive and over priced for what you get.\n\nPaoletti's comes to rescue with IDENTICAL pizza and Sandwiches at a much reduced price.\n\nSame Recipies, Same original owner...just cheaper!\n\nGood Call! I hope that many original Dante Pizza Fans will get our Paoletti's Pizza. You will be impressed! This place is horrific. I recently ordered a regular cheese pizza for delivery. The delivery man was quite rude. After giving a 20% tip, he gave a grunt and dismissive hand sign. Now let me get to the pizza. Have you ever had one of those cheap frozen pizzas? Just imagine that, but more expensive, and worst tasting. You can tell that the crust is pre-made, and tough as rocks. And the cheese is horrifying. No flavoured, and consistency if slime. I will never, ever eat any "food" from this place again. The only reason I\'m giving it one star is because that is as low as you can go.

Great place to go for comfort food. The price is reasonable and the staff are friendly Sunday Brunch in Leaside Neighbourhood. Leonard's is a very recognizable spot for such an event. If you drive by Laird Dr, you cannot miss noticing this yellow bannered red lettered building that stands out from it's neighbour of houses and across from the Leaside Centre.\n\nOverall, this place reminds me of Sunset Grill at least while I was there to have Breakfast and looking through the Menu. Semi-open Kitchen of experienced(aged) short-order cooks that get food out at a good pace unlike my Sunset Grill experiences where I literally wait for the Sun to set.\n\nEggs Benedict w/Turkey Sausage & Coffee/Tea ($8.35) - Nicely done Poached Eggs with alright Hollandaise and unseasoned Home Fries. What I learn here is Turkey Sausage is probably something for the Dogs over at Petsmart across the street. 2.5 *Star*\n\nWestern Omelette with Coffee/Tea ($8.95) - This was very FLUFFY, light and delicious made of fine chop Onion, Green Bell Pepper and Ham. Simple item done right and quite fulfilling especially with Toast & Jam.\n\nNote: Next time I'll have Coffee instead of Tea. Pouring from Tea Pot, I got lots of wastage if not done to specified codes. A regular old family diner. \n\nStumbled upon this place because Olde York fish and chips is closed on a sunday.\n\nThey have a huge menu - from sandwiches to all day breakfast to their own fish and chips - they offer a huge variety. \n\nI have to say that when I think diner, I think huge portions for cheap. This place has smaller portions than what I was expecting (smaller than say a Cora's restaurant for reference). \n\nI had the corn beef hash - it wasn't amazing, but decent. Did I leave satisfied with my meal? Not really. The service was good. The bathrooms are small, but clean. But I just felt like something was missing from my experience. Not sure what exactly, but maybe something more memorable to make me want to return. I love mom and pop diner type places and was looking forward to trying this one. It was extremely quiet on a weekday around 11:00 am. We ordered breakfast and drinks and our total bill came to just over $20. For what we got i would say it wasn't worth the money. The home fries were few and the egg was just okay. The orange juice was around $2 but came in a sample size cup. Usually breakfast places load up your plate with home fries for a good price and you feel as though you got your money's worth. I can't say I felt that way about this place. The staff were friendly and I hope they make a go of it but i feel like this place is on its way out. Leonard's \n\nIt's a simple local diner. Not much character to the place or anything to make it stand out, safe for maybe a little stone wall in one section. At least it was clean. \n\nService didn't even come with a smile, forget the warm feeling. Made an order an paid. \n\nMenu had good selection, but confusion amongst the eggs Benedict. It list different meats but doesn't tell you they come on the side. Anywhere else I'd expect those to be on the Benny, not next to it. \n\nThere was very little portion of what is clearly made-from-frozen home fries. Benny was ok but without anything between the egg and muffin. I ordered the pork sausage so apparently it came on the side and was greasy and fatty. When nothing I put in my mouth feels right mixed with the others - something is wrong. \n\nI expect better from the locals. When I know I could have had a better experience down at sunset grill, I'm pretty sad.

The reason I am giving this place 1 star is not so much food quality (although I would say 3 at best for what I had) but is more pertaining to the absence of them to rectify and satisfy a customer complaint. This restaurant has lost a potential customer. I eat out a lot and try not to complain but on the rare occasion when I do, I expect that there will at least be an attempt at trying to "make it right" by the restaurant.\n\nI had ordered Pasta Marinara and some fried mushrooms for delivery late one night. The mushroom breading is not great and it came with no sauce. It wasn\'t listed on the menu when i checked so I gave this a pass (although I\'ve never run across a restaurant that didn\'t offer sauce with their fried mushrooms before). The side salad that came with the pasta actually was the only real bright spot.\n\nThe menu online listed the Pasta Marina as "angel hair pasta topped with homemade marinara sauce and cheese". The pasta was definitely not angel hair pasta but regular spaghetti noodles. The taste was just ok. It was late and I didn\'t call about it that night because I was hungry and their delivery was closed by then so I ate a bit of it and decided that I would take to show them the next day, thinking that they should know what is being sent out.\n\nWhen I took it there the next day, a woman behind the counter said "it is a misprint in our menu. I have told the owner several times" I told her that I saw it on the online menu (which she admitted might be easier to correct but then just said "they are working on it".) She did apologize but offered nothing to compensate for the fact that I ordered something and didn\'t get what I was expecting. \n\nSo it is apparently a known issue, was brought up to management "several times" and nothing has been done about it or process put in place to let customers who order know that it is not angel hair pasta as stated on the menu. I wonder how long it has been on the menu this way.\n\nBad form, bad for business the way this was handled (are the employees not authorized to offer compensation when you don\'t deliver quality or actually the product that they ordered?). Since it was a known misprint, someone should have informed me when I ordered and ask if I still wanted it. \n\nDoes the owner care? Bee'z has good food and a very nice bar. But every time I go there it's packed and never really can decide on what I want to eat. Nothing blows me away. They do have a great fish sandwich that I get during Lent. Absolutely nothing was wrong with my meal or experience. I just wasn\'t "WOW\'d" by it. Margaritas were delicious though, but the food overall just wasn\'t anything special. Ordered the buffalo chicken as an app, very basic chicken tenders in buffalo hot sauce... Again, could\'ve made frozen ones that were identical. Wings were okay too, the waitress didn\'t do the best way of explaining the sauce to us so that might\'ve been to blame. And the pizza was just okay that I got, again nothing special or wow\'d just almost a let down. Would possibly go again and order something else, but overall just wasn\'t impressed but nothing to complain about. This place is a great local bar and food establishment. Wonderful, easy, secure parking. 4-5 TV\'s in the bar area. Separate restrauant so you can dine without the bar overlap. Good beer selection. Servers and hosts were cordial and efficient last night. Appetizer was competent but nothing special (but then again, aren\'t most of them?). \n\nBand in the bar area -- Bee\'z is looking to expand their space into another adjacent room which would help immensely on giving both the audience and band some maneuver room.\n \nRestroom was very tidy and clean. Tables bused quickly. Service was quick without being tackled at the door. Self-seating when I came yesterday afternoon which is fine by me.\n\nIt takes only a few minutes past 79 376 to Bridgeville... would make a great local "team" viewing place. \n\nSo many places to go to in the region and many are not well maintained. Bee\'z was so maintained.\n\nRoy I have been ordering from Bee'z for many years and have always been very happy with the food. Probably one of the best fish sandwiches in the area. Great Shrimp and Avocado Wrap and really good salads! When our office ordered take out last month and I ordered a Salmon Burger. It was definitely better than expected. Very flavorful and nice portion. I actually did away with the bun and ate the salmon. Then last week my husband and I went and I ordered the Greek Salmon, recommended by the waitress, she doesn't eat fish, but said it is a popular choice among regulars. It did not disappoint. It was so good. It really does rival any of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh. My husband ordered French onion soup a bacon burger. His soup was good but he said the burger tasted like a frozen burger and didn't care for two patties on a hoagie bun, he would have preferred a fresh made burger on a hamburger bun. Funny that they make a better piece of Salmon then a Burger! Service is standard. They seemed overworked and short staffed. They don't smile a lot. But since this is a food review - definitely try the Salmon! That's why I gave it 4 stars!

I spontaneously went to China City Super Buffet with the intention of trying something new. Ironically, the experience that I received was far from what I was looking for...\n\nAfter finding this location in the hood, I was promptly seated and went for my first tour of the buffet. After discovering that the first plate was not clean, I grabbed another and loaded up on some sushi. It wasn't great sushi, but it wasn't bad either... it just didn't taste that fresh. On my second trip, I grabbed some mixed rice, orange chicken, beef, and some cooked shrimp (with the head on). Everything was quite lukewarm.\n\nFortunately, I was still using the chopsticks that I used for my sushi as I sifted my way through the rice. Then, I found the special surprise of the day in my rice: AN INSECT LEG!!!\n\nNow, I'll gladly admit that I'm not an expert when it comes to bugs. I've seen plenty in my day, from cockroaches to bees and even crickets. So, I can't say for sure which kind of insect that this leg came from, but I am absolutely sure that it didn't belong in my food. After discreetly taking pictures, I called for the manager and showed her the evidence. She tried to act like the two-jointed leg was a black thread as she held it up to her black shirt. Good try lady- I may look dumb, but I am not stupid.\n\nLong story short, I will not return and only recommend this place if you are really open to wanting any kind of extra protein in your diet. Two photos of the leg are attached for your viewing pleasure. Good place for a wide verity of food and a nice family hang out spot. Heavy on the seafood, not so heavy on the wallet. They have beer and sake! I'm already impressed. Vegetarians, prepare to hate me forever. I had:\n\nBacon-wrapped shrimp: I was skeptical at first, but this was good stuff! Tray after tray...piping hot...this seemed to be a real hit with customers.\n\nOrange chicken: Good, and had so much of a kick to it I thought it was supposed to be General Tso's! Whatever it was, I'd eat more.\n\nHoney chicken: Tasted great, but I have no clue why it was so oily. Watch out!\n\nMushrooms: They look better than they taste.\n\nCoconut shrimp: Just regular shrimp in a delicious coconut sauce. Can't get enough!\n\nIf you raised your kids to be pussies who can't handle food that's different, you can grab them taquitos and pizza. There's something for everyone.\n\nThere's also a Mongolian grill, which you should try, and some pre-made sushi, which look good but should never be tried at any buffet. Just stuff your face with delicious chicken and fish, and wash it down with some Tsingtao and Sho Chiku Bai when you're thirsty. Buffet is only like $9, not including tip. WORTH IT. So while it's not by any means the best Chinese buffet I've checked out, you are for sure getting a good value. I'm a fan. Horrible! Food tasteless, watery, just plain awful. Don't go! It's an all you can eat place. It has decent food. That's enough for me to give a decent rating.\n\nOne dining thing I have to say is that some tables are too close to the food and the tables in general are too close. I don't want anyone near me and I don't want steam up in my grill while I eat. It was so hot and nasty where we were seated.\n\nThere's two dishes I do have to criticize though- the friend rice was crunchy. Unacceptable. The broccoli and beef was soggy and not good. Everything else was okay.\n\nThere are better Buffets than this so I am not sure if I will return.

Dinner was great: a few things not to my liking, but I'm generally a picky eater. We started out with the Farm Fries appetizer. SOOO GOOD! We got them without tomato or scallions, and they tasted just like a potato skins. I also got a side Caesar salad. the dressing was very light, and i didn't like the croutons at all, but i ate the whole salad, so i suppose it passed the test. Got the New York Strip steak... Cooked just right, big and juicy. Delicious. It came with lyonnaise potatoes, I have no idea what that preparation is, but I'm a potato fanatic so I tried them... Not a fan. I don't know if they are supposed to taste like that or not, but I didn't like them. But, as my stars indicate, overall great food, service was good too. Got the food fast but the check took a tid bit longer, but not unbearable. Just wish that they had desserts! A bit overpriced, but never had a bad meal here. Always happy with the food and service...and great view of the farm. Pulled pork was very good. Ribs were nice and meaty. Service was timely. Steak special on Thursday is very good. Have been there 4 times since Thanksgiving and the food and service continues to improve. Loved the fruit and cheese tray...plenty for 2 as a meal or more as an app. Tried a nice zin. Impressed with on tap selections. The best part of all is you dont even realize your in Brunswick when you're there. Nice atmosphere...looking forward to checking out the Thursday wine tasting! The newly remodeled Melrose Grill @ Mapleside Farms is a nice change of pace. You won't find an iron chef in the kitchen. You will find comfort food staples like meatloaf, airline chicken, various smokehouse selections, pastas and stone oven inspired pizzas. The food was very good, nothing fancy. The charm of the restaurant makes this at least worth a trip. We went for a late dinner and enjoyed a sunset over the apple farm. Only Lake Erie has sunsets that rival the sunsets at Mapleside Farms. 3 1/2 stars.

My father, brothers, and I will have dinner here about once a month. Every time I leave, I feel full and completely satisfied with my meal. I highly recommend the cheeseburger sliders with sweet potato fries. \n\nThere have to be at least 15 HD televisions playing just about every game. Great bar setup. Comfortable seating. Outside lounge. Plentiful parking. Cute staff. Fair prices. Clean restaurant. The establishment is family friendly, but if you plan on going for family dining purposes, go when there are no big games on, it's less noisy that way.\n\nI originally gave this four stars because it is so noisy. I can't stand it, but it's a sports bar, noise is to be expected. It's not fair to down vote a sports bar because of loud fans. This place is great for going after work, and it's down the street from my place, so it's great for happy hour specials where appetizers are $5 and you can get $2 drafts. There are tons of tv's so you can watch all sorts of games, but beware, the owner is a huge cowboys fan so those games will always take precedence over other teams. The food has been great and their happy hour cocktail specials are pretty good and strong so you get your money's worth. I am a big fan of the nachos, sweet chili thai wings, and the fried zucchini. We held our fantasy football draft here as well, and they put us in the boardroom (like on the apprentice) and we kind of got our own private, quieter area for hanging out which is great. Karaoke nights are funny, some people have no shame =) We have been coming here for the past 4 years. It USED TO BE good. The food is only mediocre. If you are looking to talk to the people at your table and watch a game, GO TO ZIPPS! The Office now plays CLUB music and it is SO loud that you can't even hear anyone at your table talking. OR for better food and ambience, try BLUE ADOBE! Both ZIPPS and BLUE ADOBE are WAY better than the Office! CLOSED. I went to go catch a drink and something to eat while I caught the game... only to find the place shuttered. Great service and staff. \n\nFriday night went for dinner and drinks. Ordered the French Dip, the worst I've ever had.. Tough beef, fatty with grizzle. Supposed to be prime rib but that's doubtful unless the cow died of old age.\n\nAnyway, go for the drinks and service.. I may try the food again but not the French Dip.

Hickory Tavern is a small but growing chain in the North Carolina. Serving dependable bar food with a great beer list, I can see why it's gaining popularity. They brand themselves as a steaks and oysters place, but they are really a sports bar basically (a tastefully decorated one though with minimal tschotkes). \n\nAnd a biggie for us, they were open Christmas Eve. This location is relatively new and has a large, airy atmosphere with high ceilings and tons of TVs. I've been to the Pinehurst location before, and ordered the same meal at both locations, the delicious Carolina burger. As anyone that knows me knows, the best condiment for a burger is more meat. The Carolina burger offers that meaty condiment in the form of chili paired with mustard. The burger is above average (mostly due to only having two options for temperature, medium well or well done - they may as well ask if I want my burger bone dry or burned), but the fries steal the show - in between steak and shoestring in size, they were cooked perfectly. They also have 1554 (in addition to Fat Tire), which helps soothe my New Belgium beer cravings. I can imagine this place being great to watch NFL games on Sundays.\n\nAll in all, you can't really go wrong with Hickory Tavern - dependable food in a low key atmosphere with good beer. Things could be much worse in life. Now to get Red Oak onto the Hickory Tavern taps, and 1554 onto other restaurants taps. This edition of Excited about Eating takes us to Hickory Tavern in the Northlake Mall area of Charlotte. This sports bar chain restaurant offers a wide variety of menu items from chicken wings to crab legs and steak, although they streamlined their menu since our last visit.\n\nDora here. Hickory Tavern is one of those go-to comfort restaurants for me. You know what I'm talking about, right? When you're tired, don't really know what you want to eat or you just don't want to cook, Hickory Tavern offers an eclectic variety of choices for the whole family. And with all the big screens located on every wall, you can almost kick your shoes off and just relax. Almost. lol.\n\nAs you can see, we're early eaters. Anybody else staring at the clock, ready to eat by eleven thirtyish? No? Okay, that's why we beat the rush. :)\n\nThe Shrimp Po' Boy features breaded fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, pickle, cajun remoulade served on a toasted hoagie roll with a side of my favorite tater tots. I don't often order a Po' Boy sandwich but after enjoying this one, it might just be back on my items to order more frequently. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, but the Cajun remoulade is what pulled this entire sandwich together. \n\nDora here. Not sure why hubby's short on words today. Hmmm. Anyway, the Chicken California Sandwich minus the mushrooms and avocado was moist and juicy and tender, and the bun soft and fresh. Delicious!\n\nReminded me why I like this place so much, and I admonished hubby that we need to come back more often. It's just a bit of a drive to make it a regular place. The food seemed to take awhile, but so long as the iced tea kept flowing, not a problem. :)\n\nWe would rate this restaurant 4 forks out of 5 for a family friendly restaurant serving great food.\n~Ernie & Dora Hiers, Fiction Faith & Foodies Blog Terrible service. Walked in, sat at the bar for maybe 6 mins or more. The dirty glasses was left on the bar it has not been wiped or clean from food being left in the counter. Remind you it is a slow night and the bartender has not approached us or greeted us yet. He walked passed us at 3 times and served someone else that walked in after us. Never seen such a lazy ass bar tender who the hell wants to sit at a unclear bar. We just left. Nothing like he other Hickory Taverns. Can't comment on the food as we never got any. Came in and waited at the host stand for a few minutes...finally got seated. Sat and chatted and looked at menu, there for at least 10 min. No one ever even came to the table, so we left. This place is right around the corner from work so a lot of my coworkers have deemed it the Friday Happy Hour location.\n\nThe service was alright, they always have 3 ESPN channels on, and their beer selection is mediocre.\n\nSuper uncool: my beer glass was incredibly not clean. How does a bartender not look at the glass before pouring a drink? It makes me cringe thinking about it.\n\nI would set this place to a 3 stars, but the glass thing (a week later!) still makes me cringe.

I've been to Fox & Hound many times over the years and I've always had fun there. The place is huge! There are lots of pool tables for rent and some dart boards. There are big screen TVs everywhere and you can watch UFC fights here, which I love. \n\nRecently, I held my wife's 40th birthday party here with about 50 people and we had a blast. The food was great, the service was excellent, my friends and family had fun, and there was plenty of room. We even had our own TV that we were able to display a slide show on. The event coordinator was very friendly and cooperative. Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait for the next UFC event. \n\nMy favorite food item is their drunken chicken tenders along with their craft beers. Add in some UFC and local craft beer, and you've got yourself a guys' night out! Ive enjoyed many good times here. Decent beer selection. Enough selection for picky me. Good nachos. Pool. The place is clean. It's spacious. A great place to meet folks after work. The business savy of this place is to serve you less beer at a higher price. The food here is bad from improperly prepared burgers, to salty panini that was inedible to burned oil taste on chicken tenders. Not sure why the managers can't figure out the complaints and negative feed backs. Staff is snobby except for a few that are nice and this place is lucky to have. Decided to order grilled cheese and tomato soup for an after work entree. The grilled cheese was minimal and consisted of what appears to be oily, shredded monterrey jack cheese that they couldnt even cover half the sandwich with, 2 pieces of old, greasy, and the cheapest bacon I couldn\'t even buy from walmart, and almost stale sourdough bread. The "tomato soup" was horrible pizza sauce! I never thought it was possible to mess up grilled cheese and tomato soup, but I\'ve been wrong before! I think you have to try extra hard to mess up food that bad! At what point in your life does an owner decide that they hate themselves that much that they want to make sure the rest of the world suffers?! I\'m sure I\'ll suffer later for the few bites of canned food I ate, so I hope everyone else takes this as a warning! This could possibly be the worst food I\'ve ever eaten!!!! Pretty good menu and draft choice. Service seems a little slow, but it is a Sunday afternoon with nothing mush going on, so they are probably short staffed. Seems like a great place to watch a game, lots of big TVs.

I'm a frequent Rubios customer at this location. I always get great customer service from a young lady names, Amanda. She knows what I order and gets my order right every time. Great job, Amanda!! Food was good but pricey for the amount you get. A taco plate with 2 tacos is $12+. Other than that good service and clean restaurant. I'd go back! Food is great. Don't come on lunch unless you want to stand and eat! will be back again! Went with a group of 11 after a movie. It is small, so we had to split up the group for seating, so that was not ideal. Fortunately, it was not crowded. The staff was pleasant and we were served quickly. Everyone enjoyed their food Found this cute little spot by the movie theater. The people were super friendly, service was fast and food was too die for. Lucky me!

I like their dishes :) it's very authentic and the price is reasonable!!! Every time I go, they don't have mango sake, hopefully they will have it next time when I visit!! 2e visite :\nNous avons demand\xc3\xa9 le Buta Burger mais il n'\xc3\xa9tait pas disponible. Le karubi qui est des c\xc3\xb4tes lev\xc3\xa9es style Cor\xc3\xa9en \xc3\xa9tait bon. Nous avons pris l'assiette mix de brochettes du chef qui \xc3\xa9tait bonne et le g\xc3\xa9sier \xc3\xa9tait bon cette fois ci. La pieuvre \xc3\xa9tait bonne aussi. Le serveur a oubli\xc3\xa9 notre demande de sauce piquante et avons d\xc3\xbb lui redemander. Avec le nouveau r\xc3\xa8glement, il ne devrait plus avoir de fumeurs sur la terrasse, mais ils tol\xc3\xa9raient que les gens fument et avec la fen\xc3\xaatre ouverte, une invit\xc3\xa9e trouvait que ce n'\xc3\xa9tait pas agr\xc3\xa9able. \n\nSomme toute, nous avons aim\xc3\xa9 la nourriture, mais ils doivent faire attention au d\xc3\xa9tail niveau service. Je vous le recommande toujours fortement. La deuxieme fois qui \xc3\xa9tait un 2e soir \xc3\xa9tait par contre tr\xc3\xa8s bruyante, car une table jouait \xc3\xa0 un jeu d'alcool alors ca peut \xc3\xaatre moins propice \xc3\xa0 une sortie romantique. Just got back from Japan and this place did not disappoint. The selection of yakitori are on the point. Very authentic, I had the beer tongue that was my favourite among them all. They used green scallions instead of a leak in between the meet which is not think and juicy enough to balance the meaty skewer. I was very impressed by the pork belly one as well. The chicken tail is too fatty to my personal taste. The lamb skewer however lacked flavour and fat. I also loved the uni and ikura don although it's a bit expensive 36 for not much substance but the uni was verra fresh. The spicy pork bone soups was very comforting, dense and rich I loved it but it was not spicy at all and a bit blend, so I added some shrirasha I wished they had some spicy oil or a home made spicy sauce. I would definitely be back to try the other things on the menu. Great place to impress a date for some authentic Japanese yakitori. Though it might not be a norm yet (and plus this being a yakitori place), there weren't a lot of options for vegetarian people. There was only a bibimbap that could be remade into a vegetarian dish, even salads had chicken or fish in it (and would be boring if they were without meat due to the lack of flavours). Overall, the atmosphere was pretty nice but the servers were extremely busy and did not attend to us too well. When one of the drinks we ordered were sold out, the server just walked away right after saying so without suggesting any other drinks (they might've been new as servers though)! They didn't have a variety of options for beer, though it's an izakaya. They only had pitchers for Sapporo, while the other two were offered in either cans or bottles. The food came out fairly quickly, so that was really great. The bibimbap (made vegetarian) wasn't too flavourful and was in a really small portion. I believe the food menu lacks variety, but again, it's forgivable since they're an izakaya. Overall, I did not have an amazing experience. One of few izakaya that is worth trying in Montreal indeed! I really do enjoy the vibe here whenever I visit. The staffs are friendly and the food here is very close to what you could taste in Japan. Moreover, considering other Japanese pubs have very overpriced menus, the price here is pretty reasonable. Definitely recommending this place!

Cold food served with mediocrity. We were a large group and some waited a considerable length of time to be served- not that the food was worth waiting for. The dining room was empty at a peak lunch time-a clue that the word is out that you can do better almost anywhere. The only reason to eat here is if you are a hotel guest and too lazy to go out to a decent place. Let's be real this is a hotel restaurant so my expectations weren't that high. I normally don't eat at the hotel but decided to stay in tonight since the weather was nuts. I'm actually pleasantly surprised. \n\nI ordered the Ahi Poke but they promptly called and said they'd run out. To make up for it the gave me a complimentary crab cake. I cannot believe how delicious it was! One of the best I've ever had! The wings were good. Nothing special about them. For dessert I trie the chocolate Babka cake with salted caramel ice cream. The ice cream was terrible. It had a plastic like taste to it. The cake on the other hand was delicious. \n\nService was great. The other meals I saw guests eating looked good. I'd say for a hotel restaurant this is one of the better ones! Attended happy hour, or thought I did, with a group. Waitress had nice, but showed no enthusiasm for us being there. She did not tell us about happy hour, and what was included. About 5 pm I asked for menus since we wanted to order at happy hour prices. Most HH begins at 4:30. Here it starts at 5. So we learned our wine was not ordered during HH. We ordered apps and I ordered a burger. It was good, tho a couple dollars over priced, but it's HH. Got the bill. Burger wasn't included in HH pricing. Totally missed the whole HH here. If only the waitress had explained it, or we should have inquired. I know the food service has changed here, therefore so has the menu. I'm not a fan like I was. Pristine service by Zamika(sp). Took her meal suggestion and loved it. Even made a Limencello margharita for me, twice. We came here for lunch the week they first opened and it was a treat! I highly recommend the braised beef pierogies and and the crab fritters - FANTASTIC! My friend and I both ordered the lunch box specials and were pleased both with the size and flavor.\n\nAlso, the time we went, the menu had not been posted yet, but the manager was so nice, she emailed me them and even came over to the table to introduce herself. I cannot wait to be back!

$40 bucks.....Cheese Steak/Tortellini/Antipasti Salad/Kids pasta and meatballs....I was expecting way better for 40 bucks! $13 for a salad is really high, they were generous on the olives but like mentioned in prior posts, 2 pieces of meat, that's it! \n\nThe cheese steak was...good\nThe tortellini was...bad Canned mushrooms, a lot of whole spinach and prepared sauce, blah. $11 worth of blah. \nKid's meal....he doesn't talk much, but he ate it. \n\nI wont go back, for the entrees at least, maybe the pizza is better??? We have driven by Daddy Dukes for months now and always say we need to try it. Well, we finally did. We went there about 8:30 pm and were the only customers there until about 9ish. \n\nWe were going to order a couple of their sandwiches but changed our minds when we saw the meat lovers stromboli on the menu. We asked about the size and the server told us they used 18" pizza pie dough to make. Well, we placed our order and it took about 10 minutes. When it finally was delivered to the table, we were pleasantly surpised by the size of the stromboli.\n\nWhen we order this item at other places, we opt to leave out the ground beef. Well, we forgot this time but that didn\'t matter. The taste was great. All the meat flavors melded well together, nothing overpowered the others and the ground beef didn\'t have that too beefy taste. The only thing we might suggest is just a little more cheese. Not too much though. \n\nI ordered a side of marinara sauce for dipping and that had good flavor too. \n\nWe will definitely go back for another visit. Next time probably on a Tuesday for Jumbo wings, when they\'re .39 each and we\'ll try a couple of their sides to see how they rate there. It breaks my heart to write that this business is closed. My hubby and our friends were going to meet there on Friday night and found the place dark, locked up, and the sign down. This was easily the best family restaurant in Avondale. We ate their a couple of times a month and everything on the menu was excellent. I hope that this family opens another restaurant and somehow we catch wind of it. We miss you! I\'ve been craving for a really good cheesesteak ever since I watched Throwdown w/ Bobby Flay: Cheesesteak a few days ago (on DVR). I thought it a perfect time to visit friend Anthony Duca\'s baby, Daddy Duke\'s in Avondale. (Truth be told, I\'ve promised Anthony I\'d try his family\'s cooking years ago when his son-in-law used to own the Philadelphia Sandwich Co. in Old Town Scottsdale. Anthony himself used to own and run Mancini\'s in Phoenix before selling it and opening DD. This is the first time I was able to live up to my promise.) \n\nI walked into the clean, uncluttered restaurant around 4:45p. I was surprised to see Tony there, along with his wife Mary and Tony\'s father, who is visiting from New Jersey. I instantly felt at home in this space that could easily fit 100+ patrons. As to why, I really cannot say. The look and the vibe just took me back to the days of family dining in CA and all of the eastern states I lived in. My server was friendly and helpful as I tried to get a few food issues cleared away. I already knew I\'d order cheesesteak, but I also wanted to try the sweet potato fries here. [I needed to find out if they were of the same version sold at the PSC, bec. I did not like the ones I tried there. When Mary said that DD serves pancake syrup with their fries here, I knew to stay away (PSC serves its fries w/ syrup, too.)] I was also torn between silencing my cheesesteak craving or ordering the special this evening, which was penne with prosciutto and peas with a garlic butter sauce. In the end, I wished I\'d tried the pasta. \n\nThe 10\' cheesesteak I chose was steak, provolone, and grilled onions in a roll. The bread had a nice crust on the outside and was soft on the inside. Since I\'m a fan of crusty bread, I\'ll have to ask them to carve out some of the soft bread next time, since it really was too much bread for me. The meat and the fried onions were good, but the cheese was lacking, and when Mary asked me if I was enjoying the sandwich, I told her it was just "ok" since it needed more cheese. As I opened up the other half of the roll to show her, she asked "Well, where\'s the cheese?" She immediately corrected the oversight, and the sandwich was a little tastier after that. I wasn\'t going to order anything for dessert since I\'d planned to go to Angel Sweet in Chandler for some gelato, but the dessert sign on the table exclaimed "Cannoli, Pumpkin roll, Cheesecake, Eat me!," so I had asked if the cannolis and the pumpkin roll contained **. The baker reported yes on both, but no allergens in the pumpkin cheesecake. "Oh, alright, I\'ll have the pumpkin cheesecake." Am I glad I did, for this was the highlight of the meal! If you\'re a pumpkin cheesecake lover, you must try DD\'s version. You won\'t be sorry!\n\nSo three stars only for the cheesesteak and the overall service- clean, uncluttered space; clean restroom; and inviting atmosphere. My original server had to leave early, and my other server didn\'t come to check as often as the first; otherwise, I may have rated an extra star for the service alone (it irked me a little that, after fruitlessly waiting for my server to pick up my check and credit card, I had to walk over to the register to pay for my meal myself- don\'t know if this is standard practice here). The extra star was for the awesome cheesecake- the pumpkin and cream cheese filling was so light and tasted exquisite with the graham cracker crust. The light dusting of cinnamon was just perfect! I\'d drive 17 miles one-way just to eat another slice.\n\nBTW, plan on visiting for dinner around the same time (5\'ish), as the parking lot started to fill up by the time I left (around 5:30p).\n\np.s. I will have to try the sweet potato fries next time I visit DD\'s. I think weeks\' old oil may have been the culprit at PSC (dirty-looking, soggy fries tasted very greasy- inedible, I thought). The best pizza in Avondale/Goodyear, bar none. They occasionally go overboard on toppings, but who is complaining? The Greek and Fat Hawaiian specialty pizzas are great. The wings are good, too. Try the 9-1-1 wings if you like heat. The service is generally attentive. Rob is the best wait person. PBR bottle specials are a plus.

Been here numerous times...\n\nThe consistency of the wings can vary. I prefer them to be slightly saucy. Sometimes they can come out a little dry or overdone but the fries are great. The dill sauce is amazing! I have a tough time deciding "do I dip the fries in the dill sauce, or use ketchup" ... \n\n9 times out of 10 the wings are perfect.\n\nTip: Large Hot + Fries if you\'re really hungry! They also have lunch specials for before 3pm. Terrible location! Servers are rude and not helpful at all. The hostess was extremely rude and yelled at the customers. Overall terrible experience and I don't recommend this location to anyone. Came on Wednesday. Their daily special was a $5 angus burger with fries, if you bought a large drink. Apparently, a large drink is any drink on their menu. They don't have a non-alcoholic drink menu on paper, but the waitress was more than willing to let me know what they had (although she didn't tell me the prices). Ended up getting an iced tea.\n\nThe iced tea costed $2.99? Something like that. Not from a can. Fountain. Slightly watered down, although that might have been my ice melting.\n\nThe angus burger and fries were a steal at $5. The burger was juicy and came with lettuce, tomatoes, pickle, red onion on a fairly nice bun. The fries were crispy, almost like a thick, crinkle cut chip. The burger didn't come with any sauces, but there's ketchup at the table.\n\nNo complaints for my $8 something meal, but if it weren't a special, I don't know whether I'd go or not. Service is slow at times, and the restaurant is surprisingly small and cramped (my first time at any of their locations). Since it's so close though, I'll probably come again. I\'ve been to just about every St. Louis in the city, but this location used to be like my home base. A new location opened at Fairview Mall, so that\'s my new standard now.\n\nAnyway. If you\'ve been to one St. Louis, you\'ve pretty much been to all of them. Although this particular location is a bit small and cramped, the great food and atmosphere make up for the lack of space. Service was always fast and friendly, never had a problem.\n\nTypical sports bar fare here, lots of tv\'s playing sports, Raptors jerseys and other sports memorabilia adorn the walls, your usual standards. \n\nEvery time I go I opt for the "hotter than hell" wings, which are quite spicy, but are also quite tasty. Wings come with fries and that yummy dill sauce. You can also buy bottles of the dips and sauces for home use if you\'re so inclined. \n\nIf you love wings, give St. Louis a shot. The wings aren\'t as big as say, Duff\'s, but they\'re far tastier in my opinion. I was given a wing voucher by the CEO - a very nice gentleman.\n\nHowever, I was disappointed by this location \n\n- service was less than desirable\n- no napkins\n- no bone dish\n- no crayons for young children\n\nFood was satisfactory but made less appealing by the service.

Had lunch here today. Definitely a HOT new spot!\nVisiting from Cali, had bomb lunch here today. Bento box with black rice, spicy Korean pork, spicy tuna roll and tempura! Omg huge portions! Great service! Awesome use of spices on the spicy pork! Wait staff very attentive! Will definitely hit them up before I leave for Cali, and of course when I return to visit as well. Yummy complementary ice cream .. ours was vanilla bean so good! \nAnd yep they have happy hour with Roll discounts!\nTry them out! You won't be sorry Me and my boyfriend love sushi and are always trying to find the best places with it. We use to go to a sushi spot around 51st and thunderbird but heard the main chef was moving to this location. So we had to of course come here and try it out. I wish I knew what the first thing I ate was called because it was amazinggg and I am NOT a big fan of fish or raw fish with nothing on it but when it went in my mouth it was melting like butter so delicious. Didn't even have a gross fishy taste or smell!!!! The sushi, was just as amazing if not even more!!! We ordered the dragon roll and the Vegas roll along with another simple white rice roll. All of them had such amazing flavor, didn't have too much cream cheese and it wasn't falling apart so that's a plus. Anyways this place has to be one of my favorite spots and is definitely worth a try to go to. Tried this new sushi restaurant today. It was a cute restaurant with friendly staff and many sushi options. I recommend trying it out! Food was spot on flavorful and delicious. If you like it a bit spicy then Try the forbidden pleasure roll! Amazing new place with great service!\nAwesome Blossom was absolutely delicious, I never thought fried onions would be great with sushi but it proved me wrong. We met with the owner and he was very nice and informative with the fish we were eating. We will be back for sure. We live in Flagstaff and it's hard to find good Japanese restaurants so we are glad we can find a good one when we come to Peoria when we visit. First time here and everything was incredibly delicious, every dish was done with perfectly seasoned and garnished sauce super tasty, my family of 4 we were so happy with service, super attentive our fav was the wings and chefs sashimi bowl. \nWe definitely will rerun

One word\n\nWOW\n\nOK two....\nAmazing!\n\nJust come here and eat. Your taste buds will demand a vacation. \n\nWow\n\nPlus ya get to hang with the Hotels dot com guy!\n\nSerious. Ya gotta cone here!!! Its amazing Went here with some friends for dinner, one of the couples chose this place since La Carnita was fully booked. The inside is nice and the food was okay. Wasn't too impressed. One friend sent her dish back due to flavours being off and got a different dish. My dish was okay. Had cod tacos which were good and the Alambre. Had Alambre leftovers the next day and it upset my stomach and I have a very strong stomach so not going back. Milagro is a festive, fun, south of the southern border restaurant.\nThey have very limited vegetarian menu - they can make their variety of enchiladas vegetarian or vegan, &, they are simply delightful creations. \nTheir lava cake is one of the best in Toronto. \nThey are very busy so call ahead & make a reservation. I was really hoping for a great experience here. There is nothing like a great Chimichanga, or Ensalada. For me I was looking for the comfort of regular Maxican food. The menu looked foreign to me. Maybe I have been away from SoCal for too long. Somehow the Mexican food in this place was lost to nouveau-Mexican. Perhaps?\n\nAn extra star for the free chips and salsa. It always drives me crazy when resto's charge more for that. This bit helps the authentic claims.\n\nWhile I liked the new decor and lighting, the new owners have taken down the sound baffles and the restaurant is terribly loud... which drives me crazy when I am trying to have a nice dinner chat.\n\nUna cerveza, por favor! (If I remember correctly they had Dos-Equis)\n\nI might have to try it out again in 2010 'cause I really do like Mexican. I really enjoyed coming here for my sister-in-laws birthday.\n\nI started my night off at the bar as I got to the venue way too early so I decided to grab a small bite and a tequila to sip on. The wait staff were friendly and attended to my needs until my party showed up. \n\nThere was a lot in the menu I wanted to try but I ended up getting the burrito. My one regret was that I didn't finish that burrito in one sitting. I brought the remains home and I was beaten to it the following morning. Never again will I leave burrito remains at home unattended.\n\nWait staff were great and the ceviche is not to be missed either.\n\nI liked it a lot here and I can't wait to go back.

I went into the drive thru last week and Titus was my cashier. He was very friendly, very nice. I ordered a 5 Layer Burrito and soft drink. He kept asking me to write a review for him, and I would of gave him 5 stars IF he gave me all my change back. I didn't realize my change was missing until I was already back home. Upsetting, but I generally love this location. I was given the wrong drink - I clearly asked for Pepsi and was given Mountain Dew. and refused to take the drink. It was promptly replaced. I wasn't asked for hot sauce at all and had to wait for the order-taker to notice I hadn't driven off yet before I could ask for it, though.\n\nIs it so hard to just get an order right? Exactly What You Expect\n\nFirst, the food is Taco Bell food, so nothing to go crazy about, the food is exactly what you expect. I have never been served cold food, and the food is always hot and seemingly fresh.\n\nHowever, this Taco Bell deserves mention because it is by far the best managed, with the best\n staff, that I have encountered in a fast food restaurant.\n\nThe staff working at Taco Bell are friendly, courteous, helpful, and polite. They came around and ask how your meal was, if you need any hot sauce, or if you want your tray removed.\n\nThis Taco Bell Restaurant is very clean, the staff is always checking and keeping both the dining room and restrooms clean. I've taken by nephew here a few times in the past, and it is consistently good service. Said they didn't have fresco style... I'm struggling with this because I'm pretty sure all Taco Bell's have pico... This is the second time in as many visits that my order has been made wrong. Someone needs to tell the employees how to make beefy mini quesadillas and cheesy gordita crunches. They have Baja sauce or spicy ranch or whatever it's called now. I get it...it's Taco Bell. But come on. At least fake like you care about your job.

the Ichabod pumpkin beer, which is flavored with natural cinnamon, pumpkin, and nutmeg, is great! The food here is excellent and they use fresh ingredients, the stone building the place is in, which was once a railroad depot, it a very nice environment. service was top notch! Went there for lunch and had all you can eat soup and salad. My salads were not very tasteful and the soup was okay. My friend ordered a pizza and that too was just okay. The place is absolutely quaint and cozy but I like tasteful quality meals for a good value no matter how cute the place is. They have wine and beer tastings that might be worth trying. We enjoyed an evening on the patio with good food and guitar music! I think they have continued to increase their quality and menu selections. Finished our evening with great coffee and dessert. Absolutely love this place specially during the Christmas parade. Great variety of cheeses. Great fresh food! A hidden gem in Cabarrus County. Fish taste fresh and well prepared! Highly recommend!

Ate here for the first time today. They've been open about four weeks. Overall we liked it. I had the lobster tacos which were served with a mango fruit and they were very good. My daughter's steak empanadas were excellent. Husband had the carne asada tacos. The meat was good but the taco itself was a little dry--needed some green salsa or something. The rice and beans came with some kind of sour cream drizzle on them which was not mentioned on the menu but the staff was nice enough to replace them with plain ones. The papas were hot, both in temperature and taste. Husband thought they had too much chili powder. Reuben, the manager, is a really nice guy and was very receptive to our feedback which included a suggestion to be able to mix and match tacos. They promote themselves as a taco shop but did not have very many kinds of tacos. Overall it was a very good lunch and we will definitely go back. Bar area is open to Westgate fountain which creates a nice feel for the area. We had a chicken quesadilla and enchiladas. Both were ok, nothing great. \n\nTwo meals and one drink each $60...seemed a little high for the food. Chips and salsa are extra charge, a little unexpected for a Mexican bar.\n\nGreat place to watch a game but I would skip the food. Place is ridiculous. Poor coordination of staff. 1.5hrs to get one drink and never got a server for food. Not anything good to say. First off, this place is WAY better than the other "mexican" place in Westgate. Our server was AWESOME and the food was very good! We loved the atmosphere there as well. Yes, it\'s a little overpriced but honestly, most of the places at Westgate are. We plan on going back one evening to kick back and enjoy!\n\n**There\'s two different address listed on Yelp for the same location, so I\'m leaving the same review for both! Food, drinks, and atmosphere were good. Nice addition to Westgate. Only complaint is the management's inability to use a remote control and read a TV guide. We stopped in to watch the end of the Michigan vs OSU game. Of the 14 TV's on display, the game wasn't on any of them. We asked several times to change one of the TV's to the game and we're finally told that the game isn't televised. Instead the West Virginia vs Iowa state game played in our view.

I don't know what some of these reviewers were thinking, but this is the best Thai place I have found in the greater GTA. The food is as authentic as I have been able to find. THIS IS NOT HAKKA - a huge plus in my books. I hate getting red Pad Thai. When you order anything with shrimp it is actually cooked on a grill, which is something a lot of other places don't do. \n\nHaving ordered at least $1000 worth of food from this place in a years time, I think I can safely say that they provide great service. Everything is always cooked to order, and they provide a fantastic value for the price. \n\nPlease try it before you knock it down! My husband and I shared Thai spring rolls, chicken cashew nut, pineapple curry , coconut rice and sticky rice. It was all delicious will certainly go back. We also shared the fish cakes appetizer which was not my favourite, but then again I usually don't like fish cakes.:) We usually eat in rather than take away. Tonight I ordered from Thai Delicious for the first time using Just-Eats and was extremely disappointed. I ordered the Tom Yum soup, the spicy beef and the pineapple chicken fried rice. My bill came to $40 with tax, tip and delivery.\n\nTo start, the portion sizes were small. The beef was sprinkled on top of the takeout container and carrots covered the bottom of the takeout dish as filler. There was barely any meat. The rice was completely tasteless. To top it off, I was eating my soup, which wasn\'t flavourful at all (I\'ve had better at the mall food court) - and I found a hair. \n\nI called to complain right away and the girl said "I\'m sorry to hear that. The next time you order, please put that in the comment box and we\'ll give you something." I don\'t know what exactly that means but I will never be ordering from there again. The owners offer a friendly atmosphere along with excellent food choices. This is the place to eat thai. The panang chicken, curries and mango salad are delicious. Great Thai food. Tom Yum noodle soup is lovely and light. Took 3 dish's for take out after a full meal.\nYoung lady serving us was very good and adorable.

three separate times they've given me the completely wrong order on to go orders... Have dined in here a few times and have no complaints. They bring out a basket of chips and one bowl of chunky salsa and one bowl of the hot sauce salsa - both are delicious and they refill them too. \nI usually order an enchilada as my meal and it's yummy. I quit. Gone are the days of bringing in all of my friends and family to eat at yummy Sylvia's. My boyfriend and I used to go AT LEAST three times a month, but the service just kept getting worse and worse. We stopped going, but really missed the street tacos and flour chips and salsa, so we decided to try again. \n\nThere was about 10 minutes left of happy hour. By the time our waitress came it there was only about 5 minutes left. I asked if I could get a margarita on happy hour and she said it was too late. We ordered flour chips... which we never received. Then, our waitress disappeared for a pretty ridiculous long amount of time. She apologized when she came back explaining that she was held up in the bar section. That's fine. Stuff happens. Then we finally get to put in our dinner order. We were going to split something, but I really wanted to try a navajo taco. Then she disappeared forever again. When we got our food my navajo taco was SUPER burnt, and completely not the kind that I had ordered. We had been there so long at that point that we decided to just go ahead and share. The burrito was good, but not worth the wait. \n\nNever. Going. Back. Honestly so disappointed. I am a Phoenix native and always loved Sylvia's for good authentic Mexican food. I hadn't been there for a few years and today, after the heart walk, a party of 12 of my team members decided to go to Sylvia's for brunch. Big mistake, HUGE mistake. The waitress was very nice but that was the only bright spot in the experience. It took 2 hours to get our food and over 30 minutes to get drinks. As a thank you to my team, I decided to take everyone out and wished I hadn't thought of his place. I was embarrassed based on the service, quality of food, efficiency and even a lack of working bathrooms. Don't go here unless you want to wait way too long (without any other customers in the restaurant), receive poor quality food and not have decent restrooms to use while you wait. Like I said, I hate to write this review but this place has changed for the worse and don't want others to suffer through the same experience. Great service! We had a sampler plate but did not try the green chile. After reading Alex's review, I'll have to give the green chile a try before I can give Sylvia's another star.\n\nWe waved a server down to tell her that guacamole was missing from our plate and she quickly came back with a big bowl of it. I left my designer sunglasses there one Sunday and they held on to it until I returned the next Wed.

I read about the Berliner and was intrigued enough to give it a try last night around dinner time. We walked in right behind another group and we all studied the menu together. They were offered samples of anything and everything, sadly we were not. I thought this was a little weird, but since there were only 2 of us we decided to just place an order for what sounded good. I chose the Boozer, mainly because it was served on a pretzel bun. It was good, but had a bit of a sweet flavor, which I found surprising. My husband got the Stinker, which is accompanied by some garlic and onions on top. It was definitely tasty and the superior of the two in my opinion. We got a side of sauerkraut, which I found to be mild and lacking in flavor. We also shared a side of fries, which were crispy, hot, and delicious. I liked that they offer about 5 different kinds of mustard, but I almost wish they were not behind the counter so we could pour them ourselves without having to ask for more. I found the staff to be friendly, but they were all pretty young and you could tell that they were still trying to get the menu and a rhythm down. I was also surprised that they close at 7 and they turned away some customers who arrived a few minutes after 7. It seemed like a mistake for such a new business to be turning away paying customers. Overall, the food is OK, but not amazing or really memorable in any way. I can see some potential growing pains, like consistency popping up in their future. It was very clear from my experience that they were the new business on the block. I have tried to patronize this restaurant 3 times in the past 2 weeks and it is still closed. There is a sign on the door with no explanation or date of a reopening. Don't waste your gas money driving to this place for the time being, Just finished eating here and man is this place delicious. I ordered the 'Boozer' which is a beer brat served in a pretzel roll and it was incredible, especially for $5 which includes a side and drink. The staff was very friendly and the service was all around great. Will definitely be going back soon. German fast food, meet Vegas. \n\nIf bratwurst is a thing that floats your boat, consider your boat floated. Bratwurst is what The Berliner does - and it does it great at a relatively cheap price.\n\nSausage varieties are plentiful here. Most meaty palates should be able to find something they fancy. From brats drowned in tomato curry sauce, to solid beer brats served in a pretzel roll, The Berliner has got your back.\n\nSides come separately from the entree, though you can easily make a combo with an order, which comes with side and drink. I highly recommend giving their sauerkraut a try. It's made in-house, with a savory twist that goes great with the brats.\n\nPrices are on point, staff is awesome, and food is definitely worth checking out. It's easy to tell that lots of love has been put into making this place happen. All of which is enough to keep me coming back. Don't hassle the hoff.... But definitely order the Hasselhoff. Huge & delicious. The fresh potato salad with bacon was outstanding. Would have given 5 stars but you forgot my kraut on my hoff, dude... I will for sure return though. Finally a good spot for a brat!

I ordered just a side of steamed vegetables with general tso sauce & it was over $5. However it was good, & they did give me a huge tub of the sauce. Compared to most places the sauce was not as thick/gooey, & it didn't taste spicy at all, which I liked, but just depends on your preference. Ok you cant go wrong with house of leng guys, from Crispy scallion chicken to tofu in garlic sauce this place is the most consistent i have ever seen a restaurant be. I have been coming here for years lunch/dinner and they are clean, quick and great food. They have two locations they are both great! Great lunch prices and they tend to be very quick. I've been going here for years. They give good portions of food and are reasonably priced. Been in the Queen City for 5 months and finally found a great Chinese food option!!! Huge portions - modestly priced- fast service - clean place and most important good food! \n\nYou can't go wrong with Hunan Shrimp or Kung Bo Chicken or Mongolian Beef !!!! I've had each one now and each was a winner! \n\nRich sauces - full of flavor- served fresh - and the spring rolls are good too!!!! \n\nDefinitely will be in my regular rotation!!! This is the best Chinese food in town (IMO). The take-out service is pretty accurate to the pickup time that's given when I call in my order. The sweet n sour chicken with the sauce on the side blows me away. The food is super fresh and hot.

Had my first meal here, and it's quite dark in here. My co-worker had a mini flashlight and used that to look at the menu! \n\nThe restaurant looks cozy and sleek when you walk in, but their food is not overly expensive. They have this 6 oz sirloin deal that comes with a salad and white cheddar mashed potatoes for only $14! what a steal! I went with the firewater salad as a starter, which was mixed greens, strawberries, pineapples, candied pecans, goat cheese and balsamic vinegarette. It was decent, but the pineapples were canned I believe. For my entree, I went with the healthier option of the Sesame Tuna, which was a sesame crusted rare tuna, which also came with a soy vinagerette, coconut rice, and sauteed vegetables. The dish was pretty darn tasty, although the coconut rice was very overpowering.\n\nAll in all, a decent meal, but not the greatest I've had. The very first thing that caught my eye was the 92 sanitation rating staring at me on the wall! Augh. \n\nThe atmosphere is really cool. Located on the lake, outdoor seating is a must if the weather permits. \n\nOur server was super nice and patient as we waited for one member of our party who arrived super late. \n\nWe started with appetizers for the table: calamari and crab cakes. Both were very tasty. The crab cake had very little filler which was a plus. Calamari is served with a nice aioli sauce that\'s like shrimp sauce with a bit of heat. \n\nI chose the lobster ravioli. When my plate arrived, I thought I had been given the wrong dish. From the description in the menu, "tomato cream sauce", I expected a creamy sauce with a hint of tomato. My raviolis were covered in this thick, dark red sauce from a can! There was no hint of cream anywhere. It was not a good pairing with the sweet lobster inside. I ate two of the maybe six or seven on the dish. The server asked if I needed a box and didn\'t seem too concerned that I said "no" despite my plate being almost full. \n\nWe did have a southern peach martini. It was "okay". Great flavor but stingy on the alcohol. It almost tasted like a virgin version. For those who haven't recently been to Fire Water it's really gotten quite excellent. This is a classic (and classy) family-run restaurant the food that is served is first rate. The restaurant's atmosphere is sophisticated but, at the same time, almost homey, making Fire Water a very pleasant dining experience. Prices, too, are reasonable for the quality, and the service is unmatched. The bartender on Superbowl Sunday was so awesome...I'm embarrassed that I can't remember his name....we had that great of a time. In town on business with co workers, felt very welcome here. The service, especially our bartender, was amazing. Great drink & food prices. We had the wings, awesome...didn't want to leave! We will be back...without blue hair chalk ;) This place is great. I usually sit at the bar. They have always treated me well. Todd the bartender is awesome. Good food, decent atmosphere...definitely check this place out.

This isn't an ordinary pizza place, it is a nice small authentic pizza place which is not too pricy either. Great flavors and variety. This placed has morphed just a bit from the old Falasca. Same Roman style pies, better service now. I think the new name is Quattro e Quattr8. \n\nI had a fairly large arugula, pear, parmesan salad with a good oil and lemon dressing along with a slice of pancetta y patata pizza blanco for $11. \n\nI'll be back! Pizza is truly authentic to Roman style pizza. They have both round pizza and pizza slices "pizza al taglio". The sliced pizza is only during the day for take out or stand up and the rounds for dinner. This is not napoletana style pizza. It is very different in style. I can go on forever trying to explain it, so your better of going during the day for the thicker square pizza (my favorite) or the rounds at night to judge it yourself The pizza was amazing! This is real authentic Italian pizza right near yonge and eglinton. A must try! We love this place. We discovered it last summer, shortly after moving to the neighbourhood from NY, and have dined there at least once per month since. First we fell for the pizzas--perfectly charred thin crust, fresh ingredients. The Ortalana is our favorite. Then we got around to trying the pastas, which also are terrific--simple, straightforward, and well-prepared. The staff are wonderfully warm and solicitous. And, at the end of your meal, you can walk directly across the street for some excellent gelato!

I can't rate the food at this location because we never got served. We sat at the table with a 4 year old child for well over 10 minutes and were ignored the whole time. People who came in after us were served, but we didn't even get acknowledged. Epic fail. I come here maybe once a month or so, I find that the wait staff is for the most part friendly, but two that stand out as what true customer service is about. They are Mike ( he's a new dad) and a young lady Ashley. Both work hard to cater to our needs without being bothersome. A rare combo in the food service world. Great food and if I were you ask for mike or Ashley's station. Great chicken enchilada and ground beef taco with rice and beans. Food came out quick and was delicious. Margarita was great as well. Server was very nice. Basketball games were on. They have an outside patio to dine at with the view of the gold course. Great place. Disappointed in the service we received this weekend. We were seated for 20 minutes and, despite flagging down the bus boy, could even get a glass of water. The server finally acknowledged us but didn't return for our drink order for another 10 minutes. I'm deeply disappointed and won't go back any time soon. The food is average Americanized Mexican food. They do have killer Happy Hour deals. And during the summer right now, Happy is all day Saturday and Sunday! Great value if you want some good cheap greasy Mexican food and a beer.

Unbelievable food, amazing atmosphere. Everything on the menu is fantastic, the presentation is excellent, the employees are very knowledgeable about the food and the ambience is perfect. \n\nI really couldn't ask for more out of a tapas-style dining experience. I've been to Hapa in Vancouver and this brings the experience to Calgary seamlessly. \n\nGreat job Hapa, I will be back. Yes I became a fan of their Ramen. I had their curry beef Ramen. Absolutely delicious and bursting with flavors from beef curry. Good portion for one person. My husband had their shoyu Ramen and he said that was the best one he had so far too. What I really liked was they used chicken broth for their ramen which is rare in Calgary. We also tried their 11 spices paperbag shrimps. It was innovative , unique and TASTY! we both enjoyed our food. Our server was fantastic. Friendly and good customer service. I liked the interior. Good for birthdays, date night and casual dinner. Went for lunch with a friend. Received a traditional boisterous and friendly Izakaya greeting by staff upon entering. \nService was friendly and efficient throughout our meal. Kitchen is open so you can watch chefs in action depending on where you are seated. The space is dark towards the back but has high ceilings. There are high tables and some bench and booth seating. I would like to check it out at night. \nWe were there for the Big Taste. We started by sharing the Carpaccio trio which was a trio of ahi tuna, sockeye salmon, and yellowtail with a yuzu citrus soy sauce. The fish was fresh and not soaked in the sauce. \nWe also shared the Appetizer trio of Goma-ae (parboiled mustard greens, with a tasty ground sesame sauce), cheese tofu (marscapone cheese "tofu" with honey, served on a cracker which was sweet and delicious), nasu agebitashi (deep fried eggplant with ginger soy marinade). \nThen we shared the Buta no kakuni: simmered pork belly in a sweet soy broth which you make a "taco" in the house made steam buns and hot mustard - I recommend to soak your bun with the sticky sweet broth. \nLastly we split the Ocean in a bag: deep fried soft shell shrimp, soft shell crab, panko breaded oyster, shaken (table-side in a good old brown lunch bag) with 11 spices, served with grilled lemon that you can squirt all over the seafood. \nFor our mains, my friend ate all of their Chan Chan Salmon Ishiyaki (comes with raw Coho salmon that cooks in the piping hot stone bowl of rice with green onion and a miso mushroom sauce).\nI had the Spicy Miso Ramen and it was awesome. The yummy broth is pork and chicken based. The ramen noodles were tasty and had good amount of bite to them. The soup comes with BBQ pork belly, wakame seaweed, green onion, and half a soft boiled egg. Really loved the broth.\nCan\'t wait to tell others and go again. Western / White people chef trying to do Japanese "fusion". The rice are overcooked with too much water. It is no different baby food, except it\'s hot and salty. The seafood in a bag is a total rip-off, pretty much deep fried shrimp and oyster then shaken it with some herbs.... they didn\'t even deep fry it the Japanese way "Tempora". It\'s like 5% Japanese, and 20% chinese and 75% self trained chef cooking. \n\nIf you like Cheese + Rice + soy sauce, give a try lol\n\nDon\'t get rip-off. it\'s not very expensive, but you don\'t get the bang for the buck. Avoid "Japanese Fusion" it\'s a total failure around the world.\n\nAnd I just back from Japan. Locals sticks to ramen, sushi, etc... hardly there are any "Fusion" there. it\'s money grab rip-off created right here in North america. This can become one of my favourite spots for Japanese food and drinks. It's trendy, lively and the food was awesome. Try the Hapa hot wings and the Spicy pork Ishi-yaki, it won't disappoint. @albertlam282

We are loyal Rubio's customers. I was extremely disappointed at my recent experience here. The fish taco that I ordered was doused in the sauce. I'm talking more sauce then fish. With barely any cabbage on top. They also forgot to pack a lime with it, that is key. Our gourmet tacos had so much cheese grilled onto them that it was hard to pick it up. Honestly, the fish taco grossed me out so much, it will be a while before we return to Rubio's. It is extremely disappointing, to spend so much money and not get what you want. Love them! Super yummy fish tacos. Always have had great service. I enjoy most everything on their menu. Fresh and good. Rubios has got to be one of my favorite fast food restaurants to grab a good fish taco.\n\nThe fish tacos I had were deep fried but the batter they use is what makes the tacos taste somewhat authentic and really close to the fish tacos I've had in Mexico.\n\nThe combination plate I ordered came with two fish tacos, a side of refried beans which I thought may have been a bit too refried as they had a border line soft crunchy texture which was not bad but nevertheless ov er fried. \n\nThe combo also came with fresh tortilla chips which were really good and had nice crunch to them. This combo comes with a drink as well all for $12.00.\n\nThe service was really good as the gal at the register was very nice and respectful. Over all I would give this place 3.5 stars. Rubios is good,but this location is not the best. They need to get with the program. My food has been cold and when Rubios comes out with new items,they lag in getting that menu item. When rubios.com says a new menu item has arrived it should be on the menu! I originally was going to go to Panda Express, but the food did not look appealing at all. \n\nAs soon as I got to the cashier, Emily greeted me with a grand smile. I am vegetarian now and asked her what they have available. She described the salads, veggie burrito, and tacos in great detail. I ordered the veggie burrito and it was delicious! I will definitely order it again. Thank you Emily! The chips were stale, but the salsa makes up for it absolutely!

Picked up some food here last night including the guilty pleasure that is the sweet and sour chicken ball. I had great hopes of just eating one or two but ended up destroying them. These were the Cadillacs of chicken balls, folks. Inside the crispy golden brown shell of batter was a fully discernible one square inch, juicy piece of chicken breast. They were fantastic. \n\nWe also got a vegetable noodle dish and the Szechuan chicken which was a lot spicier than I thought it would be. This was a good thing! Each of these dishes were loaded with vegetables. The Szechuan dish had broccoli, celery, carrots, and baby carrots but there was certainly no lack of chicken. The noodle dish had the same but with snow peas and bok choy. \n\nI don't know how this place does it but the food was relatively inexpensive ($6-7 per item), the containers were filled to bursting and it was delicious! It's your typical neighbourhood takeout spot. It's close to work and better than the nearest food court. I love these small family run places. Heard great things about this place so I thought the food would be outstanding and what it was mostly was a pile of grease.\nI have only had it once but I would not go again.\nMaybe it was an off night. Sun win use to be a good Chinese take-out but not anymore. They changed owner and the food tast old. I also got grey beef.\n\nThe owner offered a credit but I don't want that. I'll be lucky if don't get food poisoning. Whenever I'm hella hungry and it's time to chow down on some quick eats, I'll pop by and scoop nice Singapore noodles. Works every time .

Nice and clean local bar and grill. The menu is simple but the food is excellent and the service was very good. We will come back on our next trip to the area. This place is a sleeper.\nBeen here a few times now; had chicken parm sandwich and chili. Both times very good with large portions. I just visited Marino's for the first time this week and really enjoyed my meal. We went for an early lunch, so the place was pretty dead when we got there, but it quickly filled up. The sandwiches and burgers were great. My Italian sub was delicious even with half my taste gone due to a cold. I can only imagine how good it would be if I wasn't sick. The only negative was the fries. Everyone at the table thought they were a little off. They tasted ok, but the texture was weird. It might have just been a cooking issue, so I'm not judging the place based on that. Next time I'm in the mood for a good Italian, I'll definitely be coming back. We came into this bar one afternoon and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. We ordered wings, a meatball sub, and an Italian sub, The bartender named Kris took our order and made the food also. She was very friendly and did a very good job cooking. The had some cheap daily specials on the board but we didn't see them until after we had ordered. I will be back to grab some wings soon. What a pleasant surprise... Came with six other people and all left quite full and content. Definitely a place to return to

Lenero Mexican Grill is one of my favorite restaurants. The Palo de Lena Al Fuego is an amazing grilled steak with a combo of grilled veggies and roasted red potatoes, always seasoned and smoked to perfection. The Barbacao is another dish I always go for as the lamb, smokey charro beans, and tortillas are a great trio. Add their warm salsa and its a solid taco. The chips yes are not that great but really when was the last time you said, "you know who\'s chips I\'m really in the mood for...let\'s go to ____." Give me a break; I swear some yelpers look for anything to complain about. Most authentic Mexican in the area hands down. We recently celebrated my Dad's 75th birthday at Lenero and we had the best experience ever. The staff went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of (thank you Stacie) But the food made the night, every bite of everything we ordered (Lamb, Lentils, Kale salad, fajitas) was exceptional. This will for sure be a restaurant that we will go to very frequent. Been coming here since it opened, has had a few bumps in the road getting going, but the apple smoked meats and the fresh hot salsa keeps me coming back 2 times a week. i love the Angus Burger with guacamole and bacon! the Barbacoa is also yummy. they are getting organized and things are starting to pick up. definitely one of my top lunch spots in north phx. Everytime I visit Lenero, it is an exceptional experience. Service is always great and the ambience alone keeps me coming back. \n\nNow the food-- oh my gosh, so delicious! You can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared and fresh. \n\nThe skirt steak and shredded lamb are my favorite entrees and a must try. \n\nThe queso fundido app--melted cheese, chorizo, and fresh flour tortillas-- how could you not love it?! House specialty cocktails are incredible also. Try the A La Luna, made with fresh basil and cilantro vodka (all their cocktails contain no artificial additives, awesome)\n\nThere is something for everyone to love here and it is a great addition to the neighborhood. I will continue returning to Lenero because I'm always guaranteed a fabulous dining experience and what more could you ask for? Keep it up, Lenero! I would love to have been able to review the food here, but unfortunately, after sitting for close to 20 minutes without our server coming back to take our drink order, we finally got up and walked out. There were 8 other people in the restaurant sitting at 3 different tables, and 4 people sitting at the bar. There were 2 females and a male working front of the house. There is absolutely no reason why 3 people can't handle 14 people including my gf and I. \n\nI really wanted to try the food as the menu looked good, but all we got to try was the warm salsa and chips. \n\nWhen we walked out, we walked right past the female server and the male, who made eye contact and didn't say a word. It was almost like they wanted us to leave and didn't want to serve people.

For mall food it's quite tasty and filling, and without the greasy guilt I would have gotten with the multiple Chinese food options surrounding the food court.\nThe customizable box options are fun and different, they recently replaced their green bean option with edamame (good call!)\nThe box itself is cute and mostly environmentally friendly, kudos!\n\nService: Staff is very friendly and helpful, totally giving an extra star for that.\n\nMY ORDER\n- Base: long grain Jasmine rice\n- Veggies: charred sweet potato, edamame\n- Protein: 5-spice Steak\n- Sauce: Peanut, Tangy Tamarind\n- Toppings: crispy shallot, sesame seed, fresh herb, and peanut\n\nMy dish ended up tasting a little Indian, but I really liked that. I thought my veggie choices would clash a little, but all of their options seem to meld together well. It's not the most refined dish; but if you're hungry and want a warm/tasty/healthy meal, Basil Box can do it for you. 4/5 star :) A great option for better-for-you food court food!\n\nThe employees are very attentive and were able to answer all of my questions. They were willing to let me try multiple sauces and even offered to combine two of them!\n\nThe sauce flavours can be a hit or miss. If you like spicy/flavour packed food I suggest adding sriracha and the chillies. I had to come back and ask for more sauce halfway through the the bowl because the bottom was pretty dry, which they were happy to give me for free :)\n\nThe bowl is big enough for a meal + a snack for later on!\n\nI would definitely recommend Basil Box if you're looking for a place to eat at Square One that doesn't pack on the calories Honestly I never eat at the food court if I can help it. But today a doctor's appointment and a mother of a 6 month old baby left me with no choice. So I decided to take a tip from Anne T and Whitney A and grab a lunch box from Basil Box. \n\nI got brown rice base topped with half chicken half tofu, the server saw that I was struggling with the protein choice and offered. Then came the sauces, there qere 4 delicious sounding ones that I was humming over. The amazing server again mixed the coconut curry and peanut sauce with 1 piece of chicken and 1 piece of tofu in a small dish for me to try ^_^ how sweet!\n\nI decided to go with his recommendations topped with siracha and all their toppings. Peanuts, siracha sunflower seeds, marinated veggies, herbs and chili! \n\nIt was delicious, filling (good for 2 normal lunches) jam packed with nutrients and all your food groups ^_^\n\nGive it a shot next time nothing else calls your healthy gut at the food court!\n\nMake sure to acknowledge the service there, they definitely do an amazing job. \n\n+** he wouldn't let me reuse my testing fork and gave me a fresh one with my meal. He's going far places, that one. #itsthelittlethings I was spending the day at Square One and decided to look around the food court for something relatively healthy. It's always difficult to find something fast that tends to be healthy and tasty. I spotted this little joint in the corner and was intrigued. It really is tiny and there's not a lot to the menu so I decided it could customize myself a yummy bowl.\n\nThe staff was pretty relaxed and didn't tell me much about what was going on, but it seemed simple to go in the numbered order and pick your items in the box. I had no idea what would taste good together so I really just started choosing items that I liked separately and hoped they worked well together! haha! \n\nI choose a chilled noodles, edamame & corn, chicken for protein, peanut sauce and Thai red chilis and sesame seeds. I guess when I write it all out like this it does sounds a little strange together but whatever. I don't like that you are a bit limited on the veggie options but hey, gotta keep things cheap somehow eh! I also wish I chose a different base (the chilled noddles were a little weird with everything else).\n\nOverall the ingredients were fresh which I liked and the spices that were used on everything did taste quite good. I would definitely give this place a try again and maybe pick my ingredients a little more thoughtfully and try to make my bowl a little more cohesive and sensible! hahaha! This place is awesome. I'm so glad this food court has this place because Chipotle and Big Smoke were huge disasters when I tried them in the past and there are far too many old school crappy places (like Manchu Wok, KFC, etc). \n\nI got the chilled rice noodle box with chicken, sweet potatoes and peppers. I topped that with the peanut sauce, a touch of the chili sauce, thai chilies, herbs and peanuts. It was delicious. This is the pefect summer meal. My total (with a mango ginger ale) was about $14. Yes, that's high for a food court, but this is Thai restaurant quality food. \n\nIt's a really good amount of food. You will feel satisfied, but not overly stuffed and disgusting. I saw a couple people sit nearby with heaps of greasy noodles and deep-fried chicken chunks from Bourbon Street. There was enough food on each of their plates for about three people. You're not going to get that gluttonous excess of portion, calories, or grease at Basil Box. You're going to get fresh, healthy, tasty food at a generous but reasonable portion. I honestly don't know why anyone would go to Manchu Wok or Bourbon Street when you can come here instead.\n\nThe only thing I wish they had was fresh lime wedges. I love squeezing a bit of fresh lime juice on my cold noodle salads.

Been coming here since 2006 well the crispy fried chicken with fried rice is always plentiful and their black bean noodle is always delicious it was better back then when they used to put in the tofu... the place looks a bit like the back alleys of Kowloon but the food is always fresh You know when you're feeling really lazy and you want to get take-out but you don't feel like analyzing a menu, or finding a decent, cheap place to go and you just want something easy?\n\nGoodies is the go-to place for my family in those situations. Literally all you need is $10 and you can get three giant styrofoam containers of noodles, rice, veggies, stir-fry, anything! This place is a hole-in-the-wall (actually...it's a tiny booth) but you just phone ahead, come pick it up in five minutes, and go home happy.\n\nOne word of warning though -- there are three places in this food court, all next to each other, and if you choose one, you are not allowed to go next door at any point or else you will probably get glared at or they might ask you why you don't come there anymore. It's hilarious but definitely an issue. Be loyal to one and only one noodle shop. Portions are big and cheap price. Some are delish while some are blah. Had 1 order of fried rice with chicken on top, chili chicken with fried rice, fried fish and shanghai noodle. Always prefer to order here than next door because their fried rice is more yummy and its more clean than the next door lol. Chicken with fried rice is always a hit. Fish was crunchy. Shanghai noodle is bland and chili chicken taste like soy sauce cornstarch chicken, no kick at all. Payed $38 with tax. I will always come back for the chicken with fried rice. Btw the have good calamari too. Been coming and ordering from this place for over 10 years now. The food is great and taste is consistent. Only thing that is not is, for the same thing we have been ordering, the prices varies depending on who is taking the order. I am a culinary adventurer. It\'s been 20 years since I have come to this mall but I thought that I would try it, in search of a noodle place. I had done some research and was aware that this place existed. \n\nThere are two restaurants in the food court, this one is the only one that displays English signs. However, I didn\'t feel like ordering in Chinese, so, I spoke in English and it was almost like he didn\'t understand me, I had to repeat myself multiple times. Am I wrong? If you have an english sign, you\'re expected to speak English?\n\nHe took my money and rather than handing me the change like most people, he placed it on a tray. Like, he didn\'t want to make physical contact with me. Normally, I would be pro-anti-contact but I can\'t be assured that the tray that he put my change on was very clean. \n\nHere\'s what my meal contained, it was the Goodies Special Noodle, which had 2 vegetables, 2 beef brisket, one chunk of fat and 3 large fish balls with noodles and soup. This meal is not very complicated, but it took them awhile to make it. Then, they yelled, "Hey!" over to me to come get my meal. \n\nLooking at the meal, it looked edible; however, I did notice some iron flecks from the wok that were floating on the soup. The atmosphere was also unclean, the mirrors were broken and had a film on it. I hate to say it, but I have eaten better, cheaper and cleaner in the streets of Hong Kong. \n\nThe food was good, I had no complaints, but the flecks of iron didn\'t make my day. The tray was dirty, as well. \n\nService: 1/5\nFood: 2/5\nAtmosphere 0/5\nExperience 2/5

This place was really good! It's right on the ASU Downtown campus, so very convenient. I ordered the Chicken Entree with a side of hummus. It came with chopped chicken, basmati rice, cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. With a drink, the cost was $12.00. Everything was fresh and the veggies had really good seasoning. Definitely a fan! Love this place, fresh and healthy. The salads are so good and crispy and the grilled chicken is to die for. The juice bar that they have is amazing they make fresh vegetable and fruit juice and smoothies right in front of you (not the bottled stuff). I love how fresh and homemade it all tasted. I don't feel like crap after eating here. If you are looking for an alternative to today's fast food options this is it. Clean, healthy food and grate service. To clarify my 5 star, the salads and food look and smell DELICIOUS! The shop itself is bright and nice to sit. I will go back to try some of their salads and other foods. Yesterday, I had the falafel sandwich...HORRIBLE! The "tahini sauce" was bland and unrecognizable and the falafel itself was just plain NASTY. Unless they are gassing these college students, my next visit, the food should be PRETTY tasty-? College students know good food, too, right? Oh, the falafel was wrapped in an ice cold pita, unless I was dreaming, there is a big oven behind the food preparers-? But again, I will go back, the salads look superbly fresh and tasty. Cute juice bar too! This is my go-to when I am at the ASU campus. It is conveniently located near ASU and just across the way from the light rail station. I am obsessed with their grilled chicken Caesar salad! The best I have EVER had. If you are looking for a healthy spot in the Downtown Phoenix place, this is the spot! Camie and Christine are the BEST at making people's orders and always smiling. Camie always asks me how I am doing and to enjoy my lunch! I love this place. My only complaint is that its technically within walking distance from work for me.. but NOT in the summer, and parking stinks. So, I would probably go here every day if it were winter.\n\nIt is a bit too expensive. A salad comes out to just 2 or 3 dollars more than I feel is fair, but there isn\'t anything else like it in the area so I guess they have a monopoly.\n\nAnd their "house" balsamic is to die for. Whatever spices/herbs they mix in make it the best I have ever tasted. \n\nAnd they have pepitas as a topping which is great. It\'s not worth the 75 cents extra, especially considering its not a perishable product so the upcharge is pretty ridiculous. \n\nSo, if you don\'t mind paying a bit extra and finding a street parking space or walking in the summer heat, the food itself is delicious and the hummus is nice.

Been ordering from this place for years, but tonight I ordered SPICY PEANUT BEEF, which defies description. A gloppy curry sauce around a few onions and re peppers with a couple of dozen heavily breaded bits of mystery meat. Other than the curry there was no flavour of beef or peanuts. Whoever looks after flavour at this place was on vacation. The Szechuan noodles weren't. The bbq Egg Foo Yong was scrambled eggs and bean sprouts. Why can't I find a decent Chines Food Delivery place in this huge city that has a smattering of knowledge of Chinese Food and quality My expectations were pretty low but this was still disappointing. The shanghai noodles were super bland, flavourless, with barely anything in them. The other dishes were equally disappointing - some of which we didn't even make a dent in...\n\nWould not recommend. After having heard through the grapevine that China Ocean was "THE BEST!!!", I understandably had to stop in and try it for myself. If you\'ve ever walked by this dingy Chinese restaurant and have either not noticed it at all or immediately dismissed it, you\'d be forgiven as I have done the same myself. The yellow and red awning is oddly both loud and dull at the same time. The storefront windows are filled with sun-faded handwritten menus and bad photographs of house special dishes. You know what I mean: Pretty much all of the usual signs of a typical grungy Chinese restaurant can be expected here.\n\nIt was on a quiet weekday during the late lunch hour that I finally visited China Ocean. Upon entering, a very friendly Chinese lady ducked her head out from behind a TV set over the counter to greet me. While the completely empty dining room was a bit of a concern at first, the non-stop ringing of the phone for take out and delivery orders as well as the eventual influx of hungry regulars was very reassuring. \n\nOff of the $5.50-$6.50 lunch specials menu, I chose the black pepper beef on rice. The dish arrived piping hot surprisingly quickly. This fact also made me less doubtful of their promise to have most phoned-in orders ready in 10-15 minutes. As expected, the portion size was very large for me (although probably merely sufficient for a bigger eater). The flavour was surprisingly close to what I would deem authentic (v.s. Canadianized) although I found the beef a bit too tenderized. \n\nThis wouldn\'t stand out in Chinatown, but in a part of town where cheap eats are a dime a dozen and the options for ethnic cuisines are so plentiful, China Ocean represents! the food here is gross and the portions are preety small. thought i would pull the trigger on a new chinese food place take a chance... I made the biggest mistake coming here... The spring rolls are the worst i have ever had the sweet and sour sauce taste like ketchup mixed with plum sauce. me and the wife took a few bites and the rest of the food went straight in the garbage. never again if i could put 0 stars i would; Pretty Westernized Chinese food, low prices and big portions are the order of the day at China Ocean. This very humble spot has the reputation for being the BEST Chinese in the neighborhood. My empirical research shows this neighborhood to be contain of the lowest densities of Chinese restaurants in the city. Hell, on a per capita basis it might be in North America! \n\nAmbiance-wise, this place screams RUN-AWAY. Seriously, it looks as though someone built a nice small Canadian-Chinese restaurant in 1976, power sprayed it with bleach and left it in the sun to dry for 35 years. They do a brisk take out / delivery business and I am amazed whenever I actually see people occupying one or more of the 4 tables in the shop. \n\nThe food? Well that's just it...it ain't bad! For old-school terribly Westernized Chinese comfort food they make it the way we like it; fast, hot, and cheap. Golden Oldies like General Tso's chicken, Chop Suey, and Moo Goo Gai Pan represent pretty well here. The Shanghai Chicken noodles are surprisingly fresh tasting, and the Malaysian Chicken Fried rice sneaks a little sub-continental flava into the mix. Why do I mention only chicken? The beef here is overly tenderized for my taste, so I go for the chicken. They offer quite a lot of seafood, but to be honest I haven't gone there. There are some Thai dishes on the menu; Don't bother. Most of the noodle based items hit the spot pretty well on an empty stomach in winter. The lunch specials are generous and very well priced. They're served from 11-3 at the lower price and rather than take them off the table, they just add a buck after hours. Fairly done! \n\nTrying to impress someone? Keep wallking. Need a quick, hot, cheap, tasty lunch or dinner for one? Munchies (I did say it was a throwback ; ) - You've found your spot in Bloordale.

While recently attending a concert across the street at Ontario Place i came across Acqua Dolce. The restaurant is located on the exhibition grounds and is right across the street from the lake. Wow what a gem!! My friend and i split a marguerita pizza and it was perfectly cooked. Nice and crispy with the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. Next came a plate of grilled veggies drizzled in lemon and olive oil. Very fresh and tasty. We finished off our meal with a caccio e pepe pasta that was one of the best sauces i have ever tasted. Bold flavours that left you wanting more! The service was good (they were understaffed that evening but our waitress Amanda managed well) and they had us in and out in time to make it to our concert. This was a great meal and i will for sure be back on the regular!! We came here before a show at CNE bandshell. Seems like they are short staffed. It took 20 min to get a drink. No salads on menu, I luckily got to speak to head chef, and she made a fine Arugula salad. Great Location if you are at the CNE. Hopefully they staff up better. The atmosphere is beautiful inside. The food is excellent. The service is great. It was a little hard to find at first. It should be very beautiful in the summer dinning outside too. We will come again. The atmosphere inside with amazing it's quite the food was so tasty and delicious it was a feast for the eyes even before you eat it. The servers were very attentive to your every need as well. Food was good and the staff are friendly. Be careful though. If you come on a game day they reduce their menu. I was less than impressed with the reduced menu and if we had time would have gone somewhere else.

Got a pizza.... and it was good, if I remember correctly i've had a panzo from here and it was also good, its great dough so espically when its fried.... super yummy. Love this place. Mom and pop pizza joint that is open late and passionate about providing a high quality slice or pizza. Just like stopping by Grandma's place... Tasty family run place, which offers a decent amount of food for a small cost. Great for a quick snack or a full meal to get you moving with your day Hidden gem. This is the absolute best panzerotti my wife and I have ever had. The sauce is divine. The dough is flaky and delicious. The owners are super friendly and checked on us often to make sure we were completely happy. I strongly recommend that you give it a try. I\'ve been eating at Palace Pizza for years now.. it was my go to place for lunch while in high school. Now, 10 years later, I\'m still greeted with a smile by Tula, one of the owners. She is very kind with her customers, remembering clients, asking how they are... thats just the "service" side of things. THE FOOD.. pizza, spaghetti, meatballs, garlic bread, ceased salad.. Its all amazing. The pizza is different and delicious, theres almost a sweetness to the sauce that I\'ve yet to taste anywhere else. The hours are awesome.. want a slice of pizza at 2am on a Saturday night in the summer? Done. Finally.. the cost is great too. Eat in or take out, it\'s a great experience.

What happened? Did this place sell? Food has changed for the worse. Combos used to come with lettuce and tomato's Prices up, tomatoes gone, and everything covered with melted cheese. Not the same place I remember. Even the tortillas seem different. Holy cow, their food is outstanding, but their tortillas are the best in PHX, home of the best Mexican food in the US...that is saying a lot, I know, but please check them out for yourself. I'm going back to PHX soon for the first time since moving away, and Carolina's will be my first stop. I'm salivating just writing this review. Truly awesome!!! Awesome food, portions are a lot better than most places, prices are good too... well definitely be stopping in when in that area... friendly staff Hands down the best machaca, tortillas, chips and salsa in town! My son and I split the plate and it's always more then enough. Their dessert mini chimi's are also fabulous. Food..... was absolutely outstanding. I'm not a big fan of corn tortillas or shredded beef or at least I wasn't until coming here. The carne asada burro was great, the taco was perfect, and the chimi my wife had was outstanding.\n\nAmbiance.....this is cafeteria style. Nothing to write home about but very clean and plenty of elbow room.\n\nStaff....very efficient and friendly.\n\nVerdict...not the best Mexican in the world but a great meal and very inexpensive. You can't go wrong here!

This is an authentic small Asian family / friend owned restaurant in the heart of Oakland. It's a casual setting great for groups. Nothing fancy: the place offers board games and has fun, different plastic chairs and tables. It has a $10 CC minimum. \n\nI came at lunch time on a Thursday. I wanted to order the potted plant iced matche latte, but I was told they couldn't serve anything from that menu because they were too busy. It took a while to receive our food. The man who manned the cash register was also delivering the food to tables and busing tables... I'd advise some patience.\n\nMy friends ordered from the make your own ramen. I tried the broth, and the overall consensus was pretty positive. It's one of the better and more authentic ramen places in Pittsburgh. I ordered the edamame ($3.95). Great portion size and nicely salted. I also ordered the pork buns ($3.95). Not worth it. It's not what I had expected... It looked like they took the steam bun and stuck a slice of chashu pork, a tiny piece of lettuce, and drizzled spicy mayo on top. Nothing like the other pictures I've seen. \n\nThe menu(s) is extensive. They offer like 4 different menus which range from crepes, noodles, rice dishes, desserts, and drinks. It seemed disorganized, so I think they should consolidate them into one. The desserts looked delicious. \n\nOverall, this eatery is not perfect, lacking style; however, I'd return for the ramen and desserts! Good ramen and potted milk tea. Reasonable price! Would definitely coming back to have their dessert! best ramen in Pittsburgh and best creme brulee I've had in my life (I got the red bean one) Their new item: the spicy beef rice noodles are the best thing that has happened to Pittsburgh Asian food scene. Hands down I went to "Love Ramen" today and I was excited to see they added a new menu of Chinese dishes to their inventory! I didn\'t get to try anything on it, but I\'ll be sure to give it a chance sometime soon.\n\nIt was super snowy and miserable outside today in Pittsburgh (as always) and I needed something to warm me up. I\'m so happy I decided to come here. The Japanese style ramen never disappoints. And they always have seats available because there are so many seating possibilities!\n\nThe man and woman who work here are always so nice and patient. They brew hot tea, offered free to paying customers, and supply water as well.\n\nThere are also so many board games to play while you wait (though you honestly don\'t have to wait too long).\n\nEven though this place also sells fro-to, I\'d recommend you get the ramen, if anything.\n\nThe only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because of the price but the prices are pretty standard. I think they give the perfect amount (I have a suspicion they\'ve been giving more since I first visited) but my guy friends argue there could be a little more for the price.

Two meals, on the recommendation of a friend who lives near the place, and after the second trip, I was compelled to write. 'Rocky' would definitely describe the experiences.\n\nOn the first trip, I went to try their (at that time)raved about Reuben. And YET to find a true good Reuben in da burgh, I tried it.\n\nWell, they were out of the proper bread, and the guy had to run to the store to buy the closest thing he could find, which was not the proper bread, and instead of one of their 'raved about' Reubens, I received two mini-Reubens, which basically took the guts from one Reuben, and spread it out onto two sandwiches on regular sized bread. I ate it. It wasn't great, but they swore it was because they'd run out of the bread. Bread or not, it still wasn't great. The atmosphere was pleasant in that 'blue collar bar' kind of way, and the staff was very nice, but not a winning pitch on the Reuben.\n\nThe second trip was after a long day of moving furniture with the same friend. Sat in the back room, instead of the bar, which felt more like a restaurant, of course, with the big screen TV covering the sports of the moment.\n\nI was in the mood for dinner this time, and after a scan, decided on fried chicken and mashed potatoes with the salad bar. My friend ordered one of her faves, the breaded pork chops.\n\nWe hit the salad bar, which was uber-basic. Three soups (mostly vegetable loaded, which left me out), basic iceberg lettuce mix (very probably out of a bag), a few veggie toppings, and three or four dressings. It was a basic salad, no big deal. More or less an appetizer filler before the meal.\n\nThe mind-blower in this trip was the ordering of the fried chicken dinner. Our waiter looked like a 19 year old gas station attendant, skinny little blonde guy with a sweet but incredibly naive face, and an air of vapidity, which was confirmed when I placed my order. I asked what chicken pieces came in the dinner, and asked if it was possible to only get dark meat. I never imagined how confusing a question that could possibly be. It literally took him two trips back to the kitchen to 'ask', and the child honestly had no clue what 'white meat' and 'dark meat' meant. The first answer he came back with was that the chicken came in a pre-portioned prepared bag, kind of Kentucky Fried Chicken style...which didn't answer my question, thus prompting the second trip. \n\nAfter the second trip back I heard the cook holler 'Tell him I'll fix him up'. \n\nWell, the chicken was prepackaged dreck like you'd find in the freezer case of Walmart, tiny and not good, and the potatoes had that slight tinge of chem-spuds flavor, laden with some kind of chopped up green (parsley?), and a side of that basic brown gravy served up in 5 gallon buckets.\n\nThank goodness for the basic salad bar.\n\nEven my friend admitted that her pork chops were different and not what she'd expected. They also appeared to be from a freezer bag.\n\nThe irony was that the boy who didn't know white meat from dark meat, was chatting with some other customers...about baseball...and he was a genius about the mindless sport of baseball. Ahhhh da burgh.\n\nThird base? Nah...why bother when there are so many other options around. Go on in a grab a beer and chat black and gold if you happen to be in Carnegie...they can help you out all types of ways in that area. Just don't go hungry if you actually have tastebuds.\n\nFrom what I understand it 'used to be' really good homecooked food. But apparently, mama has left the kitchen. To be clear this is not a fancy place by any means. The decor is a little dated and leaves a lot to be desired. The food is basic and simple, but it is delicious. Sometimes simple is better; This is definitely one of those times. All I can say is wow! I have never walked into and establishment where you have to figure out where the dinning room is and then have to figure out who to speak with to find a table. Once we asked someone where to sit they pointed us to a booth. Once seated it took 5 minutes just to get someone to take our drink order. Then a server just walked in and clocked in and took our order. We ordered the special fish on a dish. The service was lacking but did get better once the other sever clocked in. We ordered and our food arrived at our table with 10 minutes of ordering. The food was good. The fish was fried just right and the peorogie were good but the mac m cheese lacked flavor. I would recommend this place for the food but not for the service. This is a great little gem! On my last visit to Pittsburgh I was looking for a nice bar/pub/lounge to grab dinner and watch a Penguins playoff game. A friend of mine who lived in the area recommended Rocky\'s. As I walked in the door I was pleasantly approached by the server and shown a table. It was clean, welcoming and the lounge was busy. It was Friday night and the special was the fish fry. I ordered the fish and in the meantime I sipped on a draft brew. The order was delivered to my table in no time. The fish and sides were tasty and the portion size was large. As I was watching the game and enjoying the heck out of my dinner I noticed a dessert case with a nice selection of cakes. Well needless to say I got a togo box for what was left of my dinner and ordered a slice of cheesecake. Another good choice! At the end of night the Penguins couldn\'t pull off the win over the Rangers but I definitely have a new "go to" when I\'m in town. Another star could be added for a smoke free environment. I don\'t smoke but I understand they have a nice outdoor area for those who do. Rover's Bar and Grill\nRockies lounge is under new ownership and has a new name it is now Rovers Bar and Grill. \nWe came here for the fish on Fridays but the new owner now gets his fish from Alaskan fisheries. The fish is never frozen. This place is now THE place for a great fish dinner or fish sandwich.

Amazing food attentive service. I have eaten here numerous time always good. Have sent many people here. No complaints We just had our first meal at Rice Paper after reading a very positive review in the Beacon. They do not have their liquor license yet so the suggested we bring our own bottle of wine. That was by far the best part of the experience. The restaurant is very cramped with too many tables in too small a space. We had to flag down a server to get an order placed. It then took over an hour to get our food and it came out one plate at a time over maybe 10 minutes. My wife's curry salmon was pretty good. My broccoli and chicken had no flavor and the hot oil they brought to fix it was worse. My mom's teriyaki salmon was way too sweet, while my dads noodle dish was just okay. We were, to say the least very dissipointed and we will not be going back. The food was great, we got Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice and they were good. My family visited the restaurant Nov. 25. While the restaurant is not large or fancy, the food and service was great. We loved the golden bag appetizer & my spicy duck was not overly spicy and excellent. They had a very large selection of choices on the menu, all moderately priced. It was worth the drive from North Canton My favorite Thai place in the whole wide world!! Excellent service and even better food! 10/10 would recommend

Fabulous food, great service, friendly atmosphere.... definitely a thumbs up. You won't be disappointed- eat here!! Wor wonton was delightful!!! The place is super chic and clean. The prices are reasonable and the staffs are extremely pleasant. Will definitely come back Can't say enough about their Wor Wonton soup! Rediscovered King's at their Edmonton Trail location and I'm glad I did. Great decor, terrific friendly service and that same AMAZING soup. Awesome! Modern decor with great light pouring into the restaurant. We wanted to go to OEB but a 2 hr wait made this no wait look like a great alternative! The eggs, toast and sausage were excellent! The hash was very good but a little cold and the coffee just wasn't the best. I'd highly recommend coming here, minimal menu but perfectly done with great presentation. Love it! Best Wor Wonton!!! Their take home for later frozen options a life saver. Server was friendly and accomodating to dietary questions and substitutions. Great lunch experience.

One of my favorite spots to grab some beer and some yummy wings when I'm in PHX! love love love this place. Been here about 3 times and have never been disappointed. I found myself to be a bit underwhelmed here. It felt like a place I would be happy to sit in alone on a business trip across from my hotel nursing my loneliness while eating a pretty boring burger and watching a ball game on the tube. However, to be fair, it is in the Desert Ridge shopping area so it is keeping company with a large number of casual dining choices and that is probably part of the problem. It isn\'t the only place available and you don\'t have to eat a boring burger because of that. When you have that many choices in the same center and all are in the casual and inexpensive full-service dining genre, you better have something that the others do not or you will be bringing up the rear.\n\nThe best things about this place are that there is a large parking lot so you should be able to find a spot without a lot of hassle. There are many big screens playing a lot of different spectator sports for entertainment (the most entertaining were the 2 screens tuned to The Chive which kept most of our group enthralled with juvenile visual humor for the better part of a couple of hours). There is a happy hour until 6p to help you save some money. And, the vibe is at least upbeat so you don\'t feel like you are surrounded by a bunch of depressed people nursing their alcoholic funk.\n\nHowever, I was kind of bored by the food and beverage. The menu had many items on it but they were all variations basically of sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and simple pub food. The beer list was average for a pub setting and wine selection was limited. They did have a full bar as well but nothing that was really attention getting. If this had been the only watering hole around, I think I would have rated it higher. However, in the same Desert Ridge center sits many a casual eatery including a BJ\'s Brewery with creative food and home brews and a Yard House which has a beer, wine and spirit list spanning multiple encyclopedic pages. Also, every eatery in the area seems to have a happy hour until 6 concept and some are really great deals for some really quality eats and drinks. Majerle\'s happy hour is similar but starts with a smaller, less inspired menu so to get 50% off an appetizer of pretzel bites and liquid squeeze cheese at Majerle\'s is less interesting to me than to get 50% off of poke\' nachos or calamari at a place with 90 beers offered at discount too. \n\nFor me, unfortunately, the Majerle\'s concept of simple, uninspired sports bar is very last decade and just can\'t compete in the company of other places so nearby that seem to have updated and upgraded offerings. I can\'t say anything was terrible, hence my "A-OK" rating but it is not my go-to place among the Desert Ridge choices. We stopped in and the greeters and waitress were fabulous. \n\nOne of the best quesadillas EVER. While food is not bad and service is acceptable, the place is over priced.\n\nDon't bother making reservations either. The manager will take the reservation then when you arrive, inform you they cannot honor it. Of course by then it is too late. Food was great! Loved the burgers! Plus, we were there on a Friday night and got to dance the night away with the Marley Taylor band, we had a fantastic time! Live music at Desert Ridge!! We came in for dinner & stayed for the party!

I really liked my first visit to Tango Bistro. Service was impeccable. The tapas were good although what holds me back from giving Tango Bistro 5 stars is the Pulled Pork Poutine fell a little flat for me. The dish was smoky from chipotle peppers but the combination of smokiness, pork and curds did not work for me. I found the Poutine was too dry as well. We loved the other tapas and our drinks. The bill came to a little over $60, which I thought was good value for what we got.\n\nI would go back to Tango Bistro but wouldn't go out of my way to get there. We had the French Onion soup and a desert last night. Excellent. The decor is very well done. \n Service is excellent. The menu is all high end gourmet and the price reflects it so don't expect a big plate of ribs and a bib for $9 or anything like that but if you are looking for an excellent high end dining experience this is your spot in Calgary. Tango Bistro is a mix of contemporary and rustic, from it's decor to their interpretation of tapas-style casual dining. The menu offers up a delightful variety of small, sharable plates made for 2-3 people, making Tango a perfect place for a first date. \n\nTango prides itself on its menu, which embraces the best in local and regional ingredients. The dishes are twists of classics from all over the world, made with the tapas format in mind, artfully assembled with a modern presentation. Food is visually appealing and equally as tasty. \n\nSome memorable standouts include:\n\nCajun Chicken Egg Rolls - These were a fusion style of egg roll with ground chicken, goat cheese, roast corn, black beans and cilantro accompanied by what tasted like a chipotle aioli.\n\nCedar Baked Brie - A simple and unassuming presentation until you make the first cut into the warm Brie. The melted insides come oozing out onto the cedar plank as the sour cherries cascade down to complete the picture. On the side, plenty of baguette slices and flatbread for spreading. Beautiful.\n\nPatatas Bravas - A cast-iron skillet of oven roasted new potatoes with a tomato sauce with what tasted like smoked paprika. On top, a healthy (or unhealthy, however you want to interpret it) dollop of garlic aioli. The crispy roasted potatoes are complemented by the hints of smokiness from the tomato sauce all brought home by the creamy aioli. \n\nTournedo Surf and Turf - a selection of 3 hearty pieces of beef, cook to a medium rare, topped with Shediac Bay Lobster, crab and a large tiger prawn (also cooked til just perfect... a rarity). The beef was flavourful and tender as were the toppings. The lobster serving was a little on the light side, but the prawn's flavour was the highlight of this one. It was crisp and slightly sweet, not overcooked. Delicious.\n\nIf you're with a group of 3 or 4, definitely try the sampler dessert. It includes shot glasses of assorted selections and a few truffle pops to finish you off.\n\nOverall, the experience was good. The idea of a light, sharable dinner makes for a great interactive evening of discovery and great conversation. I did like the presentation of the dishes and the freshness of the ingredients were top notch. The only thing that doesn't make this a 4 or 5 rating is the menu itself. It's a great interpretation of some familiar dishes, but nothing truly inspired. Tango is a step up from the standard casual dining fare with a new format but not much more. Hands down this is one of my favorite places to eat. Amazing and interesting shareable plates makes this a great place to meet friends or take family. We have come here many times and the service and food is always exceptional. The Beet Fries are delicious, and the dessert try the Sampler you won't be disappointed. I've been twice and really took my time deciding how I felt about Tango. The concept, location and menu sound great, but obviously there is something amiss (me and hubby are the only people on the patio on a Saturday night in August?). We tried a lot of things on the menu that were great, and a few things that were just so close to being great but missed the mark. For instance, the pear and Gorgonzola flatbread excited me on the menu and disappointed me upon tasting. There was too much Gorgonzola, the pear added a nice crunch but not enough sweetness to balance the cheese, and then suddenly the flavor of the pesto sauce hits you and it's confusing, just a little too much going on. I thought of my pear, Gorgonzola and honey pizza at Cibo, and realized they had it right. When I bit into that pizza, I had my 'oh my God this is so good!' moment, with the honey rounding that dish out perfectly.\nBut curiosity will bring me back to Tango at least once more. I still haven't tried the gnocchi or the avocado and goat cheese salad. In the mean time, remember that the lobster roll and pear flatbread are worth missing, and the cedar Brie and beef poutine will probably make you smile.

Went here on my wedding anniversary for dinner. This was hands down the worst sushi I\'ve ever had. *ever*. My tempura was undercooked and gooey on the inside. The place was a bar that had 1/2 turned into a sushi place. There appeared to be a big back room that had been turned into some children\'s party with balloon hats and carnival-ish lights. When I asked the waitress for what non-alcholic drinks they had, she gave me a surprised look and repeated "you want non alcholic??". My husband\'s meal was tiny and drowned in overly salty brown sauce. This was the sushi bar that made us give up on sushi in Arizona. Went here after a friend suggested it. Haven't been able to find great sushi, since we came back from visiting Japan. I have to say that this place is great. The service is wonderful, the sushi chef is great, they have great drink specials and the food is amazing. \n\nI couldn't believe how fresh the fish was and how knowledgeable about the variety of sushi and sashimi the chef was (amazing accent too, he's from Spain and raised in Costa Rica). \n\nThe location is a little out of place, even my GPS couldn't find it...but the location made it very quaint!!!\n\nThey have the freshest fish/seafood around, actually they have the freshest fish/seafood I've had, since visiting Japan and eating the sushi there!! Hands down, it's the best sushi, service and atmosphere in the East Valley area. I was really really really hoping that this was going to be *the* place. Since moving to Phoenix, I haven't found any good sushi places, so I was hoping.\n\nShouldn't have bothered.\n\nNot only was there epic construction making it difficult to get to (not their fault), but I felt like I'd walked into a time warp. Our table was towards the back of the completely empty restaurant, and you could just smell the cigarette smoke wafting in from the lounge. Gross.\n\nThere was a great happy hour drink menu...that the waitress then pointed out to us was no longer valid. Ever. Not because we weren't there in time, but because it just didn't apply. Heavens forbid they take the time to take out the piece of paper, and turn it around to the white side (as I did).\n\nTheir menu had prices blacked out on the sashimi (I kinda get this -- market price changed, and they didn't want to re-print the whole menu), but also on the edamame. Um, what?\n\nWe were all sat by 6:35. By 6:45, we were ready to order. Nada. Finally, at 6:57, one of us took our order up to our waitress chilling at the bar (no one else at tables at this point) to make sure we got our order in before 7pm, for the happy hour sushi specials. Greeeeat.\n\nAs far as vegetarian options, I got the agedashi tofu, miso soup, and invented my own roll (cucumber, avacado and cream cheese). The menu had only a cucumber roll and a garden roll (that came with egg in it). Don't expect them to be veggie friendly.\n\nMy cohorts got their rolls, and all of us did enjoy the sushi, hence this place getting more than 1 star.\n\nI placed a to-go order for my sick partner. They didn't have a regular Philly Roll on the menu (what?), so I asked if they could make it. After much debate, they said they could. And then charged me NINE DOLLARS for it. Let's see -- my friends got half price, special rolls with roe and salmon and shrimp and veggies and eel sauce and more for $5. But salmon and cream cheese is $9. What?\n\nOh, and the ads in the bathroom? Expired in 2007.\n\nFood was good. But between the prices, the service, and the weird menu issues, I'll not be coming back. Not so good. My boyfriend and I went there one night. I love eel sauce ... they put it on the shrimp tempura rolls. I spit it out because I thought it had gone bad. My boyfriend took a bite and we decided to send it back. We were told that they make their own sauce from scratch and it is more bitter. It was empty in there and took a long time to get us drinks and an even longer time to get the sushi. I haven't been here for a few years so I decided it would be worth another visit. I remember going for the cheap saki bombers and sushi back in college. I've been here 2 times recently and there weren't any notable specials on bombers or sushi. Had there been some killer specials I might have written a better review, but if you want a better sushi selection, better quality, better service with comparable prices; just go to RA. The only real upside is that the place is dead most of the time so you get it all to yourself.

I love this place. Great food, great drinks, and fun vibes. The service here every time I go, has been consistent! Right above Khao San road , I'll go here if it's too busy in the restaurant. Came in on a Friday night with a few friends and this place was pretty busy. It had a great vibe and fabulous cocktails. My favourite was the one with rum and coconut in it, which was so refreshing and made me feel as if I was on vacation on a beach. We also liked the one with the chai syrup, a very unique and cool taste. The food is quiet good. The rice was nothing special for $13 but the Sriracha fried chicken was amazing. We also got the jowl (really good) and shrimp chips (very typical). All in all, a nice spot to hang out for a few hours catching up with friends! We came here on a week night and it was SO packed. Service was understandably slow, considering the ratio of customer-to-server. Their buck-a-shuck that day was from New Brunswick. They were a bit old and odd tasting.\n\nHowever, the fixings that came with the oyster were fantastic: cilantro, fish sauce, a few fried noodles, a spicy chili, and the oysters were on a bed of decoration rice. \n\nThe $5 spring rolls were disappointing. They were 3 teeny tiny things, slightly bigger than a cigarette, and not very tasty. The mango salad from the other table looked quite decent.\n\nWe probably won't be coming back because it was uncomfortably packed, even on a weeknight.\n\n(and yes, my friends do make fun of my name and the name of this bar, but that's besides the point) Went in for drinks here while waiting for a table at khao San road. Quite cozy, good date spot. Got the Belgian ipa which was delicious Bang Sue Bar is located upstair of Khao San Road. Great to start or end your evening after dinner at KSR.\n\nThe set up of the bar is dark and loud with a Khao San Road vibe. Here you can order drinks, bar snacks and desserts. \n\nPro tips: there is no dessert offers downstairs in the restaurant. So if you do want a sweet ending, head upstairs after dinner\n\nBloody Caesar made with the World's hottest peppers? I just couldn't resist that challenge. It was quite spicy and love that Thai chili as garnish.\n\nNice cool bar to chill and have Asian Inspired cocktails without actually flying to Thailand! \n\nI do miss Thailand.

This is by far the best Taco Bell I have ever been to. It is wonderfully managed and the owner is so friendly and will remember your face and your favorite hot sauce. **AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!**\n\nI\'m a longtime customer - i\'d previously given them a good review, this used to be such a wonderful place...NOT ANYMORE. It\'s become completely ruined by the worst-possible management.\n\nI had quite a few horrible experiences and spoke up about them; all i wanted was an apology and reimbursement or some kind of compensation for money i was ripped off of. Not only did the owner of this store absolutely refuse to provide either or offer any type of assistance at all, but he actually turned around, falsified his report to the corporate offices that he did indeed help me and resolved/closed the matter (he did NADA) but then even actually went so far as to then THREATEN ME with an all-out lie! \n\nThis store is owned by a vindictive bully who will punish anyone who speaks up about any problems encountered at his store. If you eat here, you\'ll be sorry! I refuse to patronize a business that engages in victim-blaming/shaming, deception, dishonesty, and trickery. As all Yelpers should know, a business should NEVER engage in any kind of retaliation for customers who speak up about lousy experiences and the owner of this place\'s sole definition of "customer resolution" is intimidating people who dare offer any kind of negative feedback into silence. Because of this Taco Bell is now on my boycott list - not just this one, but all locations. People like him should not be allowed to get away with the shady abusive stuff he does.\n\nI hate to say this too because there are actually lots of good friendly employees who work there and i feel sorry that they have to work for such a mobster...er uh...monster. But for every really wonderful employee there\'s several who continually mess things up, pay no attention to detail and are obviously miserable being there (but in their defense, with an owner like that, can you blame them?) There\'s also been numerous occasions where there\'s been a drunk person and/or beggar going around bothering both the people in line and those sitting down to eat...and one such person appeared to be a friend of one of the workers and thus no one was doing anything about them.\n\nThis was once one of the best Taco Bell\'s in the valley and it\'s pretty heartbreaking to see what it\'s now become. Maybe some day in the future, the ownership will change from its current corruption and someone who actually cares about customers will be in place. (If this happens, could someone let me know? I might end my boycott then.) But for now, if you must eat at Taco Bell, whatever you do, don\'t ever go to this one...they put the "H" in Taco Hell. BEWARE IF PAYING WITH CASH!! The girls at the drive through have a scam where they short you on your change and it is a very consistent scam, and its a grand scale. The first time it happened was about 2 weeks ago and i paid with a $20 bill and got my change and put it in my pocket and drove away and stoped at circle k, where i realized i was only given $6 back and not $16, they kept $10. So i called when i got home and spoke to a male manager that said that drawer was recently counted out and there was no extra money in it and he told me that since i left he couldnt do anything about it. So since then i have only paid with my card, until today being close to my pay peroid i had to pay with my cash but i was going to watch this time, and sure enough a different girl at the window tried the exact same scam only this time the female manager behind her was in on it, so i refused to leave the drive through until i got my $10, the entire time i never put the $6 that they gave me inside my car and i held it towards the drivethru window with the reciept that shows i gave them $20 and some change, after a lot of laughing they finally gave me my $10 with no apologies or anything.. i wont be back and i am going to make sure corporate knows about this store repeatedly scamming customers.. Caught an employee on her bubble gum pink cell phone as I pulled up to the window today for lunch. I looked in the window and she ignored me although she had the headset on so I know she was responsible for opening that window and taking care of my order she stayed in her pink cell phone and continued talking or gossiping probably another front area worker had to come and open the window to help me. The whole time she was on her cell phone. This is absolutely unacceptable for customer service I used to work in fast food and I was taught never to be on your phone during work and definitely not in front of customers she had no care that she had a customer at her window. Just so rude and unacceptable. I love Taco Bell and this location is clean, nice, and fast...although I am disappointed that they don't open at 7/8 am for breakfast like the ones by my apartment do. \n\nThe ONLY drawback? They are currently suffering because of the lightrail construction. The whole area is a mess and will be for at least another year and a half or so until the construction is finished.

I love Barrio, but my experience there last night was disappointing. I went there with two other people at around 10pm. There were quite a few empty tables and bar stools, so we were able to get seated immediately. Our waitress got our drinks, chips, and salsa pretty quickly and took our orders. We ended up waiting a pretty long time for our food considering how NOT busy it was. When we finally did get our food, it was cold. This is the second time I've been served cold food at Barrio, but I let it go the last time because it was extremely busy. This time I felt there was no excuse for it. I told the waitress as nice as I possibly could that our tacos were cold. She came back about ten minutes later with one of their menus that was scribbled on. As she pointed to it, she explained to us that they cook the tofu at 160 degrees, but when the sauces are added it changes the temperature of the tofu, so that's why our tacos came out cold. My boyfriend proceeded to tell her that we come there ALL THE TIME and that the tacos are always hot when they are served to us. She told us that she could have the tacos remade, but at this point I just didn't want to bother with all that. I got a box for mine to take home. There was no offer to take anything off our bill, so that was cool. I enjoy paying non-happy hour prices for cold food. Don't be fooled, this place might look like and feel like barrio(which is a stretch). But it is not. Go to either Cleveland or Lakewood to actually experience a real barrio. This is a sad excuse. Anyone that rates higher than 2 start has ever been to either. Very good food, portions are a little small and it's a tad expensive. \nI highly recommend the tofu. Drinks are expensive. Atmosphere is nice. Service is usually pretty good Willoughby finally got a really solid Mexican restaurant to add to its downtown menu offerings! This place is always busy, so my fianc\xc3\xa9 and I were pleased that we were able to get in easily on a Wednesday evening so we could celebrate my birthday with a good meal and a cocktail.\n\nI was glad it wasn't too busy because that makes conversation difficult. The atmosphere is lively and fun, the decor is simple and distinctive , but not distracting.\n\nOrdering food is a bit out of the ordinary and may be a bit confusing for first timers. You have a couple ordering pads that have menu items on them, so you pick your custom dishes, or pick from established items. We decided to pick our own and discovered when the bill came that it was a pricey way to go. Make no mistake, there were hearty portions, but two custom soft tacos cost $24. (Thanks to my fianc\xc3\xa9 for the treat.)\n\nWe ordered a couple bourbon cocktails and they were quite strong, so there was no skimping on the alcohol.\n\nThere's not much else to say about Barrio. It's a decent restaurant and we enjoyed our food. Was a huge fan of the other locations and now we have our own in dtw! The prices are good, food is fresh and lots of different options. Green goddess and stoner shells are must haves. I love the margarita with the Chile powder rim. There has been quite a wait to get in even on weeknights, that is the only downside.

Had dinner with the family here. Food (NY strip/Prime rib/Mac&Cheese kids/Ribs kids) was good and tasty. Service was fine and friendly. Dessert (Peanut butter cheese cake and Pecan Torte were yummy) decaf coffee was fresh. Only downside was the noise level - large bday party in the same private dining area. I liked the decor and the dim lighting ambiance. This is such a great place for a date night dinner! I'm vegetarian and got spaghetti squash, which is absolute yum. My fianc\xc3\xa9 got pork chop, obviously the best entree to pick. Service is top notch too. Walked out tummy full and happy! Definitely going back again. \n\nChop, Thank you for the amazing experience! It saddens me to write this review. Chop used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Both the food and the service had been topnotch. Lately that has not been the case and now I\'ve given it several "second chances" and I\'m afraid tonight was our last visit. We arrived for an early dinner, were greeted promptly and seated in a nice booth. The bar was completely empty, only a few other tables in the restaurant were occupied. We ordered drinks and wedge salads - the wine was good and the salads were good. I ordered The Chop, it is their signature dish, it should be amazing - and the first few bites were delicious. I was very happy. This is a double cut, bone-in pork chop and it was moist and very flavorful. At about bite number four I was horrified to realize that the pork was COLD in the center, not merely cool but cold as in still rare, red, and cold from the refrigerator! I made a few other cuts in the meat and the closer I got to the bone the colder the meat was! I pushed my plate to the side and waited for our server to return. He passed the table twice but never stopped to ask how our food was. A different server passing our table asked if everything was okay and I told her that the pork was very cold in the center. She apologized and took it back to the kitchen. After about 7 minutes she returned with my pork, it had been butterflied and sliced into two thinner pork chops and cooked on the grill (grill marks now on inside area of the sliced chops). I was no longer excited about the pork as it was no longer a juicy, double thick chop but two smaller chops, worst of all it was now very overcooked and dry. I took one bite, ate some of my side dish and put my fork down. (I will mention that my husband loved his bbq ribs.) During this time that I watched my husband enjoy his meal, our server still never stopped by the table - I could see him sitting at the edge the bar checking his cell phone so it was not because he was too busy with other customers. When the second server came by to pick up my husband\'s plate she noticed that I had not eaten the pork, she asked if I wanted a box. I said that I would like the Brussels Sprouts boxed but that I did not want the pork. She removed the plate and returned with the Brussels sprouts. No concern over the fact that I had obviously not eaten more than five bites of my large $26 pork chop. Our original server never returned, my husband ordered dessert, we got the check, paid and left. No manager ever stopped by the table to see how we liked our meal, no one ever asked if the re-cooked food was prepared properly. This is a marked departure from the level of service we have had over the past year. Unfortunately, the trend at Chop has been downward and I think it is time for us to find a new restaurant. Made reservation and went here for our anniversary dinner. Excellent from start to finish. Arrived a few minutes early and were seated immediately, service was exceptional (very sorry I have forgotten our waitress's name as she was attentive and ad a great personality), food and drinks came at the right pace. Prices were reasonable for the great baseball top steak and double cut, house cut pork chop. Very pleased and we will be returning! Ok, slow to learn! Food is Bonanza grade, at Flemmings prices. If you can get to the bar seat due to all the drunk Chop investors and their posse, you might get a drink, just a bunch of assholes drinking for free and they treat the real customers like shit. If you really want a good steak, chops or fish I really suggest you go to DC Steakhouse in down town chandler. Very good prices and excellent food.\n\nI would stay away from Chop, looks nice but that is as far as it goes

Okay I have been here enough times to know now that it isn't a fluke. Consistency is key for me because you cannot keep up the performance I will be hugely disappointed. Here is the real deal. When I walk in I am usually the only one who isn't able to speak the lingo and Spanish speaking isn't all there is to this lingo - it's more about the ambiance, like everyone is hanging out in the neighbours back yard and I'm the friend of the neighbour. It's that comfortable and reliable but it's also fresh and flavour packed. These little Sopes, Tacos and Gorditas are all corn! Yep! Not that evil wheat that doesn't like me but corn. I highly recommend the myriad of chicken and pork options though the beef is a little dry for my tastes. The varied salsas, and veggies (cilantro, pickled onion, etc) are kept filled and chilled along the wall opposite the cashier. You need to wait just long enough for the items to be made in the spot and there can be a line up (really) so be patient and watch a soccer game - in Spanish - on the tele or browse the grocery in the back because it will be worth it. Better yet pick up a bag of chips and a container of fresh guacamole and sit and relax. It's that vibe. I may be the neighbours friend but I am welcome and I am eating what feels like homemade Mexican. I have tried a number of the grocery items and I have found if I look on line or ask the staff here I can make sense of most of what I am buying. An adventure right in my neighbourhood backyard. Yum! Pictures next time. Absolutely delicious and authentic Mexican food at this cute, cheery quick-service restaurant! Really nice and friendly staff enhance the experience, but the food is what earned all 5 stars. A simple but varied and reasonably priced menu is freshly prepared and super flavourful. \n Plenty of vegetarian options, much appreciated. Salsa bar is a bonus! Plus, their pantry and refrigerated items are very tempting for cooking adventures. Will definitely return regularly! A great Mexican restaurant in the deep south? No. Can't be. Really? Really! I have been here a bunch of times now and have tried pretty much everything. My goto now is the incredible home made chips to start with the habanero salsa, tortilla soup and the meat lovers gordita. All for about $11 and change. Just wish they had something better for the salsa than the tiny plastic cups.\n\nThey also have a market area in the back with some great latino products. This place and Unimarket are giving Calgary some credibility when it comes to Mexican food, finally. Excellent Authentic Mexican food. Wonderful and friendly service. Good menu. I. Always happy after eating at FIESTA. Just had my first taste of Fiesta's delicious Mexican food. Everything is so fresh and tasty, and there are a LOT of options. Lots of take-out options, and there are some great pantry options in the market at the back. I will be going back soon, and only wish I could get delivery! I'd never cook for myself again!

We went to Karachi Grill to get our take-out dinner, butter chicken and tandoori chicken. The waiting time is not that long. \nWe are open our take-out dinner, first, our butter chicken look so oily and very liquited so bad. But we had good faith for it, maybe the taste not bad. So we tried, well if you see first look if you think is not good, just trust your feeling. \nVery oily, very thin, no creamy taste and maybe you called soup butter chicken.\nIf you want butter chicken, don't go there. The food was ok. But the service seems a bit off. It was my first time there so i was looking at the menu and the lady was rushing me to pick. So i asked for chicken biryani and she said they were out, so i asked for chicken karahi with rice and she said they were out of rice so the meal didn't come with rice. What a joke. A quaint little South Asian restaurant in a small plaza. There's nothing too fancy about the ambience and Decor, a very simple and small location. I had the naan and chana masala with saag paneer. The naan was a bit disappointing, seemed and tasted more like a generic pita (which I guess it was). The chana masala was too oily but decent enough. The saag paneer was fine but perhaps missing a few important spices. Overall, fine, nothing to go out of your way for. 3.5*\n\nFor what it is, re: a small, Indian, takeout counter in a somewhat shady strip mall, I thought this place was pretty good!\n\nSince I *love* Chicken Biryani, that\'s what I ordered here...to-go! Good/standard pricing as expected based on the type of set-up, $4.99 for a "medium" sized styro container.\n\nNote: It did take some time in-between ordering and when food was actually ready. I\'d say at least 15mins as I had a detailed conversation with another customer there.\n\nChicken Biryani was one of the better ones that I\'ve had as of lately! And it was actually spicy? That was definitely a FIRST! Piece of chicken that I did have was quite tender and juicy, not dry at all. Good flavours going on here! I\'m basing my 4 stars on the chicken biryani and kebabs only. They are at par, if not better than the self-proclaimed "king" of biryani guys. \n\nHave had both the chicken and beef kebabs as a sandwich roll (think pita pit but wrapped in warm naan) and also separately as meat only. Both are enjoyably spicy even when requesting in mild. When requesting in spicy, also enjoyable, but your tummy might be sad a couple hours later. =)\n\nWhatever you do, don\'t get the butter chicken. I gave it a second chance and haven\'t forgiven myself since.\n\nAlso, if you are in a rush, call in with your order 15 mins ahead of time as they grill the kebabs to order (which is a plus in my books).\n\nMy 4 stars is not based on venue as located in a plaza that has seen better times before the turn of the century, if at all. Most order takeout, not much room to sit.

Our service here was so-so. Server had trouble either hearing exactly what was ordered or just didn't care. Had a couple issues with the wrong number of items or the wrong item. The food we had was great though, hence the 4 star review. If you try one item here make sure you get the lettuce wraps, un-fricken-real how good they are! They quesadilla was pretty dang good as well.\nThe open air dining made for a great ambiance and definitely a great perch for people watching! Terrible, went on Saturday night late June 2018 warm night, was about 9:30-10pm, walked up asked to be seated for 2. Was seated on the right elevated section had a pretty good view of the dinning area, waited about 20-30mins saw staff after staff after staff walk by and no one seemed interested to greet let alone take our order. Got up and walked out, the table seated next to us arrived 10mins after us and they to were ignored table of 4, short staffed or just bad service. Disappointing! They have changed their menu since the last time we were here. Not for the better in my opinion. No more brisket . Now they're just like every other restaurant on the strip. What we ordered was good, especially the Mac n Cheese, but we will try someplace else the next time we are at T-Mobile. Looked like a cool place with good atmosphere. Started off by waiting for a seat on the patio because we had seen the sign that said Happy Hour on the Patio 5-7pm. There were many open tables on the patio but had to wait because there was only one waitress. Once seated I ask what drinks are part of happy hour and waitress said that's at the bar inside only not the patio. I walk over to hostess and turned around the sign for her and pointed toward where I was sitting and asked is where I'm sitting considered the patio and she said yes. Then I asked why does the sign say happy hour on the patio 5-7pm and she only apologized but could not explain why. Ok so I'm over that part now we order. I had brisket and sweet potato fries and my wife had pulled pork sandwich. The brisket was a few slices that look like it came from a swanson TV dinner (if you remember those) and was the worst brisket I had ever had. Plus it was 24 bucks. The pulled pork was dry and bland. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was that the sweet potato fries were awesome and the waitress looked like Jessica Biel. One last thing. A couple of ladies were seated near us but got up and left when waitress said happy hour is NOT on the patio. Their web site even has happy hour from 3-7pm on the patio. Look it up if you don't believe me.\n\nThis is from website:\nMonday - Thursday\nHappier hour beer and shot specials on the patio from 3PM - 7PM. What can I say. The food and service is terrible. We had the "chefs favorite hands down" fried chicken. It was $40. It was flavorless, tiny, heavily breaded, and completely void of spice. The potato salad and biscuits were awful too. A group of 6 of us all agreed that Popeyes many times better. No one ever asked us how it was and we had a few prices left. We called over the manager who told us "well you are it" and told us she never head that before. Really? we all laughed. There\'s a huge sign that says satisfaction guaranteed. They charged us full price and made no apologies. Unless you\'re just drinking. Go anywhere else. Lots of good food around. The managers name is Leann that said that too. she should be fired.

Location:4205 Keele Street (right next to York University)\nPrice: $$\nService: Good\n\nA friend and I ordered food for delivery yesterday. To our surprise the food was really good! It took around 45mins- an hour for the food to arrive- it shouldn't take that long if it is literally across the street from YorkU. It was hard to order the food since there was no menu and I had to look it up on yelp. They also didn't give us a menu when they delivered the food either. The frustrating thing about this delivery was that they added an extra order and charged us for it, then we had to call them back and get the food. It's always frustrating to play phone tag.\n\nWe ordered; fried rice noodles with beef and vegetables, sweet and sour pork (soo good!), beef and broccoli, and hot and sour soup (decent and it would be best if you ordered the small cause the medium size and massive). The food was really fresh and yummy.\n\nVerdict: good to order =D The food has turned my stomach inside out. On the first bit, there was hair. I paid $26, even tipped the driver, and I have eaten nothing. I asked nicely for a refund, and was refused. After a huge argument, the owner told me I had to come in for a refund. Ubering there and back would cost me half the price of my meal. They finally agreed to send the driver back, yet I'm still waiting. The food was 45 minutes late as well, and after a single bite, I feel sick to my stomach. Never order food from here. I believe this is the closest Cantonese place to the York University area. It is located in a modest strip plaza with plenty of parking. Ordered won ton noodle soup, some fried noodle dishes, and congee. This is a very small place, but the food was decent, and the prices were cheap. Service was friendly. I would come again. Decent food for good price! We head there at noon on Sunday and it was not busy, which our family prefer than other crowded Chinese restaurant! \nWashroom is definitely much much cleaner and nicer than the washrooms at other Chinese restaurant. Lol. Ordered delivery. Chicken curry and rice as well as fried wontons. Told them to specifically make the chicken curry extra spicy. \n\nOrder arrived in good time, and it looked to be decent portions in styrofoam containers. Mind you, delivery must be at least $25.00. \n\nFried wontons were crunchy and had some random piece of pork at the centre. I have only had it one other time and it didn't have this at this other establisment where I ordered. Still yummy though. 1 star for this. \n\nCurry chicken had much left to be desired. Wasn't spicy at all and had a watery consistency. I had actually anticipated the dense curry flavour, but was left wondering where it all was? The chicken looked to be all dark meat, when you picked through the mqss array if skin and bone. Skin! Ew! No preparation needed to make this meal. I just opted to eat the friend wontons. \n\nThankfully I ordered the fried wonton as it made up basically the entire meal. \n\nNext time I will take the advice of fellow yelpers more seriously.

I was in town visiting for work, and I walked about 10 blocks before I stumbled on this charming warm pizza place that smelled so go from the outside. Upon entering I was immediately greeted by an authentic Italian/Canadian staff which was very nice, but what followed made this an unforgettable experience. I had the cheese pizza and it might have to go down as the best pizza I've ever had. From the cheese, to the dough, to the sauce...undeniable! I think Montreal can finally stake their claim of having their own style of pizza now, and it's found at this place. Step aside NY and Chicago, there's a new sheriff in town. Good pizzas, maybe a little greasy but taste different, I liked it. \nNice point is you can choose two kind of pizzas and make half and half. \nFrozen lasagnas and pizzas are available too, I like the concept !\nAnd the staff is friendly, that's another good point for me. Arr\xc3\xaat en coup de vent en famille entre deux pr\xc3\xa9paratifs du temps des F\xc3\xaates, un peu gr\xc3\xa2ce \xc3\xa0 la place de stationnement qui se lib\xc3\xa8re tout juste en face. Quatre pizzas diff\xc3\xa9rentes, quatre coups de coeur, engouffr\xc3\xa9es \xc3\xa0 la vitesse grand V, tant c'\xc3\xa9tait bon. Bonne p\xc3\xa2te, fromage go\xc3\xbbteux. Service gentil et attentionn\xc3\xa9. On emporte deux lasagnes et deux minestrone pour se dispenser de cuisiner durant le cong\xc3\xa9. Gagnants de tous c\xc3\xb4t\xc3\xa9s! On reviendra! Je recommande cette place pour sa bonne pizza et sa lasagne congel\xc3\xa9e. J'ai \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 cherch\xc3\xa9 une pizza un vendredi soir, il le font sur le champ et j'ai seulement attendu 5-10 minutes. La lasagne achet\xc3\xa9e congel\xc3\xa9e est tellement go\xc3\xbbteuse, c'est un succ\xc3\xa8s chaque fois! Il y a peu de places assises, mais c'est parfait pour manger sur le pouce. La pizza \xc3\xa9tait bonne, \xc3\xa9pic\xc3\xa9e a souhait, bien balanc\xc3\xa9e entre la cro\xc3\xbbte et la garniture, et les ingredients \xc3\xa9tant frais. \n\nMon highlight a \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 du c\xc3\xb4t\xc3\xa9 du service \xc3\xa9tonnement. Attentionn\xc3\xa9, rapide, courtois. Un bon endroit sans trop de pr\xc3\xa9tention, qui fait de la bonne pizza et qui vous l'a sert avec le sourire.

Good News: Fridays are Tikka Masala days. It was half the price, but I wish it was half the spice. \n\nI'm a fan of spice, but with this particular dish I couldn't really appreciate any other flavors beyond. \n\nThe good news is, I came with a large group of friends - each person venturing into the territory of a new cuisine - and most people were thrilled with their choices. The Thai chicken grinder, and the bibimbap were particular highlight.\n\nI won't be going out of my way to come here again, but if I find myself hungry and venturing by, I wouldn't turn it down for a second try. Luke's food is crave-able! His combination of talent, instinct, creativity personality crazy good food make Blue Sparrow an absolute must. I actually plan meetings around where I know his truck is located. The food is fresh, exciting and always d-freakin-licious. OMG the ramen burger. Instead of a bun, it's patties of FRIED RAMEN. \n\nThere is nothing else that you need to know. Sometimes passion makes all the difference, and in this case it drives Blue Sparrow to be the best food truck in Pittsburgh. They love to dish out great food and to share it with people who really appreciate it. \n\nThe Thai Taco is true fusion cuisine, and the same for the Tikka Taco. Great flavors with an international twist. And the Kim Cheese, well, it's the best thing I've eaten from a food truck.\n\nThey bake all their own bread and pickle and ferment their veggies. Everything is made from scratch and tastes delicious. \n\nThen there's the Mexican Brownie. Oh my, it's authentic Mexican Chocolate and chillies that make for a long, slow, delicious finish. It's not a burn, the chillies just highlight the chocolate flavor and give it more depth.\n\nSo definitely, enjoy their food, it's more of a international journey, a passport to a culinary adventure.\n\nAnd by all means, let them know what you like about their food. After all. It drives their passion. I've always wanted to try a food truck but for some reason kept missing them. This one just happened to be on the Northside today across from Commonplace coffee at Mexican War St. They told me they are here every Thurs.\n\nI opted for the veggie banh which consisted of Japanese eggplant, zucchini, and tofu. All for $8.00. Got the sandwich in less than 5 minutes and it was literally to die for! Was a bit messy too but hey great food can be messy. I'm glad I took plenty of napkins.\n\nThey are based out of Lawrenceville and are in a different part of the city most days of the week except Tue. Good food and great prices! Hopefully I'll catch up with them again. Check their calendar on their website for where and when you can find them.

Decided to check out this new Gilbert restaurant, we drive by it all the time since it's only about a mile from our home. Very pretty and clean looking inside, naturally with an Italian theme. The husband and sis-in-law enjoyed the escargot, and courses were served fairly quickly. I had their chicken special, with a wine marsala sauce that I enjoyed very much. Everyone else had linguini with clams, but one of the dishes had a spicy heat to it that they didn't mention on the menu. If you don't like spicy dishes you should make sure you ask about it first. The dishes were also a little on the salty side. \n\nThey were also small portions, and served on big plates on small tables and we didn't have a lot of room between the four of us. Husband is currently eating again while I write this because he is still hungry. Smaller portions aren't a problem, but the meals are pretty pricey for what you get. I give it two dollar signs in this review, but you're going to pay $15-$20 a meal unless you are a child. \n\nThe three stars are really for the service and atmosphere. GREAT service, and a nice place to take friends or family. They also had a live musician playing the viola for the patrons, which of course made me smile, being a violist myself. :-) Other than that, the food is good but with the prices I won't be able to dine there very often. My fiance came here on a long awaited date night, and unfortunately we were not impressed. This place is relatively new, and maybe I should try again once they have been opened for awhile, but I just don't think I want to. My meal was mediocre at best, and my fiance couldn't even eat half of his chicken parmigiana. The plus side, their service was GREAT! Our server was very friendly and quick. Maybe I would try again and just do wine and appetizers? Nice place, very pretty inside. AWESOME wait staff. Food is what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant: nothing really unique outside the basics.\n\nMy gripe: The prices. They are expensive, especially when you consider this is GIlbert. Nice local Italian place in Gilbert (Warner and Greenfield). Ask for Marcie as your server, she is very good, and very friendly. Had a few pizza's this time. Nice atmosphere!!! Love to sit outside in the patio!!!!!!\n\nThey have recently lowered their prices to be more in tune with Gilbert and the economy. Hopefully this place makes it. They have a nice happy hour from 3-6 (not positive on the time) so it is nice to stop by for a glass of wine and a app, after a long week of work. Chao ... Atmosphere is appealing. The violin player was a nice touch. However, everything else was rotten! We came Valentine's weekend. \n\nThe lights were somewhat bright for a late night dinner. \n\nThe doors were all open and it was cold inside. A poor older couple were sitting by the door and the elderly lady had to wear her coat and her husbands. They still didn't close the door. \n\nService was very slow. Awful. All these reviews about great service made me think we had gone to a different restaurant than everyone else. They didn't know the menu. It took forever to get drinks. Forever to get food. Salad came out after dinner!\n\nAnd the tiramisu was disastrous. They covered it in Hershey's chocolate syrup! Gross! The two flavors do not go together at all. The desert itself seemed odd without the syrup too. Couldn't put my finger on it though.\n\nWe weren't the only table groaning about the place, every table around us was. We all commiserated together. Food was cold. And dry. Bill was pricey. Will not ever go back. They need to make some serious changes to this place or it won't last long. The manager never walked around, just stood next to the bar the entire time while waiters struggled to get their jobs done. The waiters (all in high school from what we could tell) were also too busy fooling around in the back and a big clang of breaking dishes were the result.

The boyfriend & I decided to grab a bite here after checking out the local shops off of Roosevelt Row. We split a Jamburitto and I must say that it was *awesome*. The rice had great flavoring and the chicken was tender- but most of all the side of hot sauce was DAMN tasty, can't say I've had anything like it! \nAnd they sell xtra long neck (ie. mexican style) Coca Cola sodas :o \nHellsyea I'm coming back! Went to Food Truck Friday for the first time and after 10 min of reading every food truck menu, I decided on Jamburritos mainly because I was in the mood for some hushpuppies. I was eyeing the chicken jambalaya in a bowl, but then I saw a grilled catfish sandwich go by and changed my mind instantly. I was so happy with my dish. The fish was flaky and full of spices. The hushpuppies were to die for! And even the Fanta was a nice add to the greasy, yet yummy dish that I had. I love this food truck craze and I hope it sticks around. I still need to try Hey Joe Filipino and the Torch food place. My chicken quesadilla was REALLY good. Chicken, pepperjack, cabbage in a perfectly grilled tortilla. Nice and spicy. Hope I see them around again! Terrific, authentically prepared Cajun food.\n\nWe stopped by the Phoenix Public Market yesterday to check out Food Truck Fridays. It was almost 2 p.m. and they were getting ready to close so after quickly surveying the six trucks, we decided on Jamburritos.\n\nWe ordered the chicken and okra gumbo and the fried catfish special. Both were awesome. The gumbo was a fairly large portion that was rich, flavorful and chock full of sausage, chicken and okra. Absolutely delicious and a steal at five bucks. The catfish was completely non-greasy and cooked perfectly, served with rice and greens.\n\nHighly recommended. I want to retract a comment I had made about the Grand Opening Event. I had made a comment while sitting in Walmart parking lot, that I didn't see the Food Truck when I got to the location in Peoria.\nHowever after leaving Walmart heading to back to 83rd Ave on Peoria I looked to my right and there is when I saw the Food Truck in a dark parking lot Strip Mall. \nI went a purchase the Fried Fish and Jambalaya bowls. Which was very delicious and I will go back again.

I had pulled turkey with rice (carrot,celery), white beans, grilled zucchini with home made barbeque and some type of cream sauce, got hot sauce and jalapeno sauce on the side. My meal and jalapeno sauce was super yummy. White beans were a bit on the sweet side which i like very much, turkey meat was well cooked and juicy, grilled zucchini was just right.\n\nI am giving 3 stars rather than 4 stars because the amount of turkey should have been more... When i order pulled turkey bowl I expect more turkey then beans..\n\nIt is a small take-out place, you can use the tables outside to eat. I was gonna taste a bit and eat the rest in my office but it was so super yummy I end up eating 2/3 of it at the outside table :)) \n\nThe staff were very nice and friendly. The food didn't have the mass restaurant taste, you can tell that everything was freshly made. It was properly portioned for one serving, I would like to try the rest of the meals in this Italian place for sure. Two times in a week! I can't remember when was the last time I updated a first review so quickly after I wrote it.\n\nWe had lamb sliders this time. I was almost hesitant to try the lamb this time because the porchetta was so good last time and I wanted this time to be just as good, but I did it. It was just as good. Had I not had a number of other restaurants to go to after this one, I'd have ordered the porchetta sliders as well. Mmmm..\n\nThe lamb was in nice, big chunks, and it was juicy and tender and absolutely delicious. Because I ate at a table this time, I got to see a little bit better what was in my slider. There's a slice of homemade mozzarella in there, and it's not a thin slice, which is fantastic because I love fresh mozzarella. \n\nNext time, I'm doing 1 lamb and 1 porchetta. That way, I get the best of both worlds. It\'s never fun writing a less-than-glowing review for a small, mom-and-pop type establishment, but what choice does one have if the food is mediocre?\n\nAfter walking by the sign a million times, I decided to finally stop into the Queen Live Fresh Food Market and give Panino Cowboy a shot.\n\nI opted to order the Cowboy ("Breaded, baked (not fried) steak with tomato sauce, topped with giardiniera (Italian relish) and house-made mozzarella") and I was asked if I wanted it medium spicy or "super" spicy. (I went, of course, with the latter.)\n\nI got the sandwich a few minutes later, was impressed by its heft, and took it outside to eat. It\'s...okay, I guess.\n\nThe big, insurmountable problem here is the aforementioned "breaded, baked steak," which I noticed came directly out a deep tray that was full of tomato sauce. Would it surprise you to learn that the breading and the steak were soggy as hell? And that that sogginess in turn made the rest of the sandwich mushy?\n\nThe sandwich was otherwise nothing too special. The giardiniera did add a nice flavor, but it was so sparingly applied that only about half the \'wich benefited from its presence. I hardly noticed the cheese at all. And the whole thing was decidedly not "super" spicy.\n\nIt\'s clear that the Cowboy would be well served if the breaded steak was cooked fresh each and every time, with the tomato sauce applied over top as the sandwich is being prepared. I feel like that would be a delicious sandwich.\n\nHopefully this review will convince the owners of Panino Cowboy to go that route. I missed this place when we did our first Queen West food crawl, but it's definitely on the list for the upcoming one. \n\nI saw house-made mozzarella and I was basically already sold. Unfortunately, my stomach has been on the fritz, so I didn't intentionally get any yesterday. I did get their piccolo sliders. At $6/2, they're a great deal. You get to choose any 2 from: lamb, pulled porchetta, pulled pollo, turkey, or veggie, and then they're topped with giardiniera (Italian relish of pickled veggies in vinegar. Specifically, celery, carrots, cauliflower, and peppers.) I wanted one lamb and one porchetta, but they didn't have lamb. Their lamb guy was bringing it in later that day. I was told he's very particular about getting the perfect lamb. Fair. I don't want anything less than perfect. I ended up with two porchetta. No regrets. It was flavorful and super juicy. There was also a fairly good amount of it in my slider. The bread was great. Crusty outside and soft inside. Some kind of garlic oil or butter. Arugula. Bits of house-made mozz. Pickled veggies. Super flavorful sandwich, and one makes for a small lunch. Two makes for a decent lunch. I had one and gave the other to my friend, who really enjoyed it as well. This is the kind of sandwich I could see, at regular size, going for like $15-$20 at an upscale restaurant. I'm glad I don't have to pay that much for it, and I'm glad I could just eat it on the fly. I almost wish I bought more of them. Next time! And when I say next time, I mean that half the reason I'm going downtown again this week is so I can eat here again.\n\nGiven that Panino Cowboy is literally a hole-in-the-wall, I wasn't expecting super friendly service and such a passion for their food, but they certainly had it all. I can't wait to go back. Yay! I love this place :) I kind of think that plaza on Queen west (where this is located) is sort of cursed.... RIP Meli Baklava. So i usually avoid it because it always seems like those business' don't care and then close in like two months. This sandwich wasn't what I expected but in the BEST way. I kind of was expecting a small panini with really tough bread, but this was the opposite. The sandwich was huge, and the bread was so soft and yummy. I got the shredded chicken, was so good. I'll definitely be back. People working there were also so nice.

We recently moved to Calgary from Vancouver and the sustained weeks of sub-zero temperatures had me longing for the west coast. It wasn't quite the same as a trip to the coast but a lesser option was to visit Vancouver's own restaurant tradition the White Spot. \n\nEntering this White Spot was like entering every White Spot in the Lower Mainland - same decor and same menu. We ordered things that we were really familiar with, and they did not disappoint. My BC Chicken burger with yam fries and a spot salad on the side was excellent. The chicken was moist and you can't beat the Triple-O sauce. I almost wish I could temporarily unhinge my jaw so I could take a full bite of the thing as the burger was so tall! My yam fries could have spent another 30 seconds in the fryer to crisp them up but the chipotle dip was tasty. My husband ordered a beef dip and his sandwich was stacked with a lot of meat.\n\nOur server was pleasant and efficient. Overall, a good experience and we will return when in the Willowpark/South Centre area. This place is in the same category as Boston Pizza or Kelsey's and has a homey feel to it. The food is fine as has been mentioned but for me, it lacks ambiance some how. Its just not memorable for some reason and for me that's a let down. Even if we go to a dive, we're looking for a memory and there just isn't one here. Two burgers, a diet coke and a coffee. 34.50 .add tip and your at almost 40 bucks . The burgers are great but that's unreasonable. This is one of the better chains that exists in Western Canada. The food has always been good and the service excellent on my many visits to this location. I had dinner with friends here and was delighted to discover that White Spot has new gourmet burgers. I chose the Roma Burger (a 6oz burger with crispy baked prosciutto, tomato basil salsa, provolone and basil aioli) and the garlic fries which came with a garlic topping & lemon-basil aioli. The burger was excellent! The fries not so much. (I should've got the soup of the day instead.) What really sets this burger apart, in my opinion, is the baked prosciutto. If you love bacon, you're going to want to try this - you'll never go back to regular bacon! To round out my dining experience, I went with the Nat Bailey pale ale. Granville Island Brewing makes White Spot's signature ales and I've been a big fan of them for a while. Their ales are quite good. To end the evening, I ordered the Apple Cinnamon Crumble. It was very big, but not very good. I should have stopped after a great burger and beer. Lesson learned.

Since getting renovated, this place has become more appealing - both in atmosphere and the food. I've had the chance to dine here a few times over the course of the summer and every time it's been great. Their basics like wings and pizza are pretty tasty, and normally I don't venture off the basics but I decided to try pasta (lobster mac and cheese) and I was thoroughly surprised! It was oven baked, gooey with cheese, crusted with bread crumbs and had REAL chunks of lobster in it! I only managed to stuff myself with half a serving before packing the rest up for a much anticipated next-day lunch . . . midnight snack (who are we kidding here? Lol)\n\nThey have daily specials for both drinks and food which is pretty awesome. And even if you're not into the specials, you're not forking out more than $20-30 for a decent meal and drinks. #113 As a well-traveled American (shut up!, we do exist, though we are rare as a US hockey gold medal in the Olympics) whom has been living north of the 49th parallel for 2 years 1 month+, I have struggled to find a good pizza anywhere in western Canada (other than Lorenzo\'s Pizzeria in Calgary west to Vancouver) and only one good pizza place west of the Mississippi River in the United States (which happens to be in San Francisco\'s Castro District, at The Sausage Factory (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-sausage-factory-san-francisco?ob=1)).\n\nFor several months now, we have had pizza delivered to our workplace, XACT Downhole Telemetry, Inc., in a mysterious white box either with numbers on them or a description of the type of pizza that is in each box. No flyers; no labels anywhere. No way to know whom made the pizza. Odd for a business not to have their logo anywhere much less everywhere possible but okay.\n\nThen, today, as I boldly went where no man has gone before, I "caught" the pizza delivery guys in the act. I surrounded them forcing them to tell me the name hence this review. They promised to bring flyers on their next trip (since so many people here including myself love the pizza). I uploaded 3 pictures of the pizzas but not before my co-workers had already started eating the pizza!\n\nMy favourite is a deep dish Chicago style BBQ Chicken variety that has BBQ sauce, chicken, red onions, cheese (but not too much) (apparently, #25); I also like the deep dish Chicago style pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper, beef, and red onion as well.\n\nFor those vegetarian types, they do offer that and that was present but I did not partake of that.\n\nThe delivery guys are nice and pleasant to deal with and pretty quick considering we ordered 10+ deep dish Chicago pizzas plus a vegetarian sandwich for the lone vegetarian.\n\nSo, for now, I have three total pizza places that I have graced the walls of my stomach and left it very happy:\n\nThe newly discovered Madison\'s Restaurant & Bar in northwest Calgary\nLorenzo\'s Pizzeria in the Mission/17th Avenue/Red Mile District in central Calgary\nSan Francisco\'s Castro District\'s The Sausage Factory\n\nIt\'s good to see the food fare in Calgary improving; I know Calgarians like to eat and party hard.\n\nThe one thing I cannot figure out is how someone found out about their delivery (and pizza).\n\nTime to call Leonard Nimoy and go \'In Search Of\'..... Being called a joke by a restaurant manager is definitely a first for me. \n\nI\'ve always liked Madison\'s. Good food, fun, cold beer. So I thought "why not work here?". The kijiji ad had been posted for about a month without being filled, and said please apply in person in the evening. So I get dressed up nicely, drive up there, and ask for the manager. He comes out, listens to what I\'m wanting and says "I\'m not going to take your resume. I don\'t take resumes on Friday nights. NEVER bring that to a place like this on a weekend night, because people are going to think you\'re a joke. Have you ever even been in the industry?" \n\nNow, granted, I should have perhaps thought better of going into a bar on a Friday night. But the ad said evening. It didn\'t specify which evenings were acceptable or not. And at 6:30 pm when your bar is half full? Yeah, okay. Regardless, berating me and making me feel like an embarrassed idiot for bringing you a resume in good faith and good will was not necessary. My taste for Madison\'s is pretty much soured now, and I\'m quite thankful I got to hold on to my resume so as not to work under such a disrespectful person. Been coming here weekly for years and never had a bad meal or service. Ordered pretty much everything on the menu and it's all outstanding. For the holidays the bf and I went to Calgary to visit his family and on one of the evenings we took some time to go for wings with a buddy of his we haven't seen in two and a bit years. It took 2 hours of online research to determine where we wanted to go for wings, and we settled on Madisons despite some of the reviews as the wing variety seemed worthwhile.\n\nFirst impression: it was a nice clean, relatively quiet place - the sports guys were all sitting at the bar near the odd assortment of gambling machines (something you don't see in BC), and we were on the other side of a pseudo wall that toned them down a bit. Our server was quite nice, she took our drink orders and we went over the menu.\n\nBetween the three of us we shared a bunch of wings and relaxed. Here's what we tried:\n\n1. Greek = delicious, love the added cheese and great seasoning\n2. Lemon Herb = needs a bit more lemon but otherwise tasty though the greek has more herb flavour so I would love the lemon to stand out more\n3. Thai Peanut = love the added peanut bits, nice thick sauce with rich flavour!\n4. Szechuan Hoisin = great spice, not huge on the hoisin taste compared to what I expected but it's got great heat and the sauce proportion is just right\n5. Maple Bacon = not enough bacon and the maple is just syrop that hasn't been thickened enough to stick to the wings, might not get this one again unless they can make the sauce stick better\n6. Salt & Pepper = you can tell they do a good job of cooking the wings from the taste of this one, very light on the s&p but the cook on the wings were so good i'd eat them again anyway\n7. Sweet Thai Chili = VERY pleasantly surprised by this one! it's not your typcial 'bought the sauce at costco and dip the wings in it' sauce like everyone else does. It wasn't super sweet, had great chili flavour, and the heat was subtle.\n\nAll in all i'd order most of those flavours again, the service was prompt and pleasant, one basket was forgotten but when you order 7 on wing night that's going to happen, at least when we asked it was recovered right away (we knew they were confused as to which table had ordered them). The drinks were good, I tried the Orange Creamsicle drink they make with whipped cream vodka and it was lovely.\n\nDefinitely a return-to choice for us when we visit Calgary again!

Amazing service and recommendations by Robert our waiter! Also pizza was delicious as well as the garlic cheese bread! This was our first stop after a long day of travel and finally checked into our room. At this point we were starving. My hubby and I shared Romaine and The Roma. I really like the crust of the pizza and the salad was tasty. In the end, our tummies were full. I would come back and try a different pizza and their calamari. Didn't go inside, but went to the walk up window. Ordered Pepperoni slices and they were delicious. Service was quick and friendly. No complaints at all. Me & a friend visited this site on 8/26/14. We were in Vegas for the week & had a craving for pizza while walking The Linq. We sat at the bar (prob 10 stools total, small) & decided to split the Calabrese pizza. It was a good snack for 2 people with a unique taste. \n\nWhat I really liked about this place was the bartenders & unique beer selections. I did the beer flight, which had 5 beers I had never tried before & a Guinness. It also included a cast beer, which I didn't like but it was interesting to try one for the 1st time. Being a fan of the UFC, I was intrigued by bartender Joe. He told me he fought 3 times in the UFC, and another female bartender was a friend of Dana White (with cell phone pics to prove it). We all had great conversation about the sport, which was thoroughly enjoyable to me. \n\nEvery time we visit Vegas this will be a food stop for now on. They also have pizza by the slice at an outside window. Flour & Barley is one of the best places off the strip! The service is fast and the food is beyond AMAZING! The freshness of the food make it totally worth the price! The whole environment of the restaurant makes people want to come in and just hang out! First time ever eating here and I know it will be a top place to revisit!

Always good. Mom and I go here for lunch and get the half sandwich, salad and fries for 9.99. Great fries! Great ice cold salad. Grilled chicken, avocado and bacon sandwich is excellent. This place is always a good time! Pretty pricey but my belly is full and I am always happy when I leave. They have a great baked potato soup, that I have to get every time I come here. It warms my soul! LOVE IT! After a bowl of soup for my appetizer I usually order a steak, loaded potatoes, chicken........ seafood... you name it they have it. The service is a little slow at times, but I have never been unhappy with my food. The steak is nice and tender, the chicken is nice and moist and their chocolate chip cookie with ice cream....... mmmmmmmm! I really never have room for it, but I cant say no, so I make room! HAHA! Keep it up Black Angus! Mmmm Mmmmm good! First timers! We had a wonderful experience. The drinks were well prepared, the sides were delicious and the steaks were tender and perfectly cooked. The service was also outstanding. I think the value for our money was excellent. We will be back. One of the hostesses needs training in customer service and an attitude adjustment.\n\nA food courier asked "Hostess A" to check on an order because there was a mistake and the food courier was worried the order was going to go late. Hostess A checked, got the food courier her food, then Hostess B says "sorry about that" as the food courier left.\n\nAfter the food courier was gone,\n\nHostess A says to Hostess B: "don\'t say sorry!"\n\nHostess B: "but I feel bad for them."\n\nHostess A: "Well I don\'t." and laughs about it....\n\nReal classy and sympathetic.... laughing about somebody being inconvenienced who MIGHT make $15/hr if they\'re lucky. In reality, that food courier makes minimum wage or even less if there is a problem that means the food courier has to wait.... A problem the food courier had no power over and no ability to fix. I\'m talking $3 or $5 an hour when they have to wait, especially if it happens at multiple restaurants.\n\nTo that hostess who doesn\'t feel bad when stuff gets messed up and a food courier has to wait, just remember... that is YOUR customer\'s food that is arriving later than they expected. That is YOUR customer who is having a bad experience ordering from your business. That is YOUR customer who ordered from your business using that delivery service.\n\nAnd here\'s the other thing: Every food courier is a potential customer (if they aren\'t already somebody who eats at your establishment).\n\nFWIW, I will NEVER eat at this business after seeing how the hostess thinks about somebody who is just trying to make a few bucks on the side.\n\nThat hostess needs to understand that the couriers have no power over how that delivery service works and they are on the short end of the stick every time something goes wrong. You being cruel to them and unhelpful just makes things worse for your customer (and potentially drives other customers away).\n\nIf you really want to be angry at somebody, be angry at your management for accepting that delivery platform at their restaurant. The food courier didn\'t put that service in your establishment and if you realized how poorly compensated those couriers are (especially when something goes wrong), you might "care" for them, even if they aren\'t your customer at that very second.\n\nAfter all, they might have been your customer previously, or in the future, or like in my case... NEVER because I don\'t frequent establishments with employees who talk bad of people who aren\'t there to defend themselves. Prices are much higher than yesteryear. The prime rib is still very good and service is exceptional. If prices were more in line i would rate higher. Food seems to be consistently good. Fire grilled artichoke appetizer was really good!

This place is great! The owner is serious about having a good time, and the pizza crust is SO FUCKING TASTY!! I used to go to Grapevine in Scottsdale but after a bad experience i had to find a new karaoke spot to go to on Tuesdays. And this is the one! The atmosphere is very chill, they have a very extensive song list and better food than my last spot (who doesn't like pizza) and it's affordable, my bill has never been so low at a bar! I decided to order room service and had a taste for pasta. I stumbled upon this place thanks to the Tempe takeout. The Alfredo pasta and graham cracker cust cheesecake was AMAZING!! I was upset that I didnt give a better tip! I called to compliment them and spoke with a great guy named Spencer. \nBefore heading back to LA I'm taking a trip to the 414!!! Third time here and I love the atmosphere. Great food and Spenser is so fun! We enjoy the food and the karaoke. I always order delivery.... iv never actually been to the restaurant, so my review is based solely on that. This is one of my favorite places to get Really good food, at late hours of the night....I Order the delivery to my shop Pleasure World since we're open 24 hours it's hard to order from any other place...I always have the nicest delivery service, and food has always been 100% on point!!! And you can't beat the prices!!! I supporting local business - and this one is worth the try... trust me

Hidden jem!!! The dive bar menu is great lots of made from scratch items on the menu. My wife and i both enjoyed are food and friendly service. We ordered the stuffed hungarian peppers and tavern chips with there house made cajun and ranch do. The chips were well cooked and seasoned, the peppers were nicely stuffed and spicey! \nMains we ordered were the french dip that my wife got and said it was delicous and it was a huge portion. I orderd the KCT boy and it was a well seasoned house made patties and there special sauce is good. \nAll in all it was a great experience, glasses were never empty and servers were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back and refering are friends and family. I love the food here. Don't expect to get your meal quickly, but that's OK. It's worth it. Their burgers are the best and the Cobb Salad is huge and chock full of everything a Cobb salad should have. I can get 2-3 meals out of it. Pleasant servers. I was told the ribs were delicious so 9 family members went here for dinner. The first bad sign of trouble was the ribs were COVERED in 1/2" of BarBQue sauce. Must be hiding something- & I was right. They were the fattiest toughest ribs I have ever experienced. Ribs are suppose to fall off the bone from hours of slow cooking- I couldn\'t even get my fork to saw through the meat/fat. I truly should have sent the order back to the kitchen but I knew it wouldn\'t make a difference since everyone else\'s were just as bad. Not one redeeming thing about this meal. The coleslaw was lousy & the house salad consisted of iceberg lettuce with one piece of green pepper @ one slice of red pepper. Oh! And to top it off when the waitress brought the bill she informed us the credit card machine was down!! Don\'t bother w this place for ribs- head over to bugaboo creek. Went there for their Tuesday half off burgers. I was a bit disappointed with the deal, because apparently everything is a la cart (fries are extra, for example).\nSo all and all we paid the same price as for a regular prices burger meal elsewhere.\nHowever, the burgers taste fantastic! I have to give it to them. Stopped in for lunch because my wife loves the steak sandwich. Waitress mentioned they have the Tuesday wing special so I like wings so I ordered them. I was reluctant to try the Vern's Burns sauce but like hot so I asked for a side of the sauce. I was very impressed, just hot enough but not enough to drive you to sweat, excellent sauce and the wings were prepared to perfection.

Food was good! Yes I was surprised. Staff was helpful. Spicy was actually spicy! Neat mix of foods on the menu. Now Lillie's Asian Cuisine...A fusion of traditional Cantonese, Szechwan and Pan-Asian flair, plus the excitement of Teppanyaki tables. Every time I am in Vegas I simply must eat here! My favorite dish is the Honey Chicken. Meh. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The sushi was pretty derivative and uninteresting. Prices weren't bad, so go here if you want a straight forward meal with a good atmosphere without emptying your bank account. Located inside the Golden Nugget in Downtown came here last night for my Aunt's Birthday place is not that big but the staff is very attentive they don't leave you hanging and even the manager comes around and helps with any questions and even takes the order. They have two hibachi grills seats around maybe 16, 8 on one side 8 on the other since they have two chefs cooking on each one. We elected to sit at a table we had a group of 8 service was very fast for it being pretty busy. The one thing i found odd was that we only were able to get one tea kettle they ran out so our whole table had to share one with many refills. Food was good we ordered family style we got like 5 dishes of 2 each my fav was the honey glazed shrimp and the beef broccoli. The appetizers were also good which was the egg rolls and gyozas. Price was pretty expensive but what do you expect for Vegas and the Golden Nugget lol. I'd dine here again. We enjoyed Lillie\'s Teppanyaki (or as they call it "Hibachi Grill") on our last night in Las Vegas. It was a wonderful way to say farewell to a wonderful 9-day stay! \n\nThe service here is very good and the chefs are talented and have a great sense of humor! If you\'ve never tried teppanyaki, I recommend it highly and this place gets it right! My husband and I have been to Benihana and other local teppanyaki restaurants but this was hands down the best either of us have had...so far. \n\nThe meal price includes soup, salad, grilled vegetables and steamed rice. Fried rice can be substituted for a nominal fee. I highly recommend the Emperor\'s Feast which allows you to enjoy three entr\xc3\xa9e items for $44. I enjoyed chicken, shrimp and tenderloin. All of it was excellently prepared with their amazing sauces and spices! They also provided three distinct dipping sauces: mustard sauce for beef & chicken, ginger sauce for seafood & vegetables and a hot chili sauce for anything. I don\'t do hot sauces but my husband raved about the hot chili sauce! The other sauces were delicious! \n\nThe restaurant is small so be sure to make a reservation. You won\'t regret it!

Make sure you get some of these Chichis Tacos! Made with love and dedication this husband and wife dynamic duo have created recipes that truly make your mouth water!\nThey even placed in the Arizona Taco Festival amongst some high end competition! Find Chichi's Tacos and try them you'll be happy you did! Good, but the raves go a bit far. Atmosphere and service are a downgrade although far from being a disqualifier. They should be included in the talk about best taco and burro, but I can think of at least 3 I'd place above within a 10 min drive. I was at The Rhythm Room and saw these cool people selling Tacos, so I checked it out. It turned out to effen awesome. Fresh quality food! ChiChi- lisous! Be on the look out for these guys! Chow down baby. Was out and about wanting to just have a beer with a friend on a Friday night and came about Chi Chi's Tacos right outside Lost Leaf on 5th. Man oh MAN are they good!! Had one of each and the Sweet Potato Tacos are to die for!!! If I weren't watching my girlish figure I'd of eaten 10!\nIf you see Chi Chi's Tacos STOP and try them out, you'll be glad you did!!! Don't miss this little place. They know how to make great Taco's. Don't forget the homemade salsa a fan favorite

We had an incredible experince here! The food was so delicious and unique. The flavours are so pronounced and creative, it's an incredible experience for your taste buds! We really loved the halloumi, brussel leaves, beet dip, and fried chicken. The flavours are unlike anything we've had before and would highly recommend! The service was fantastic and the food was very tasty. What I was most impressed was the portion sizes and the pricing was really appropriate. Tapas can easily get overpriced and you leave hungry. I was stuffed and satisfied and didn't break the bank! Definitely a go again place. Best cocktails, attractive staff, delicious (and plentifully vegetarian) bites! Will definitely be back for more. Good food but I wouldn't come back here again. \n\nWe had high expectations for Bar Sybanne - The food was decent - but not worth coming back again for. We ordered the labneh and eggplant appetizer which was yummy. For our mains we ordered the fish platter, rice (was okay - it just looks nice), lamb skewers, meatballs - decent sauce, and the halloumi dish. \n\nWe were considering ordering another fish (because we were still abit hungry), however it would take another 25 mins. We decided not to because they forgot about our meatballs dish that we had ordered LOL. \n\nOtherwise, the customer service was great and we sat on the high top table right by the street which was nice. Bar Sybanne is a wonderful addition to the already-booming Ossington strip's restaurant scene. The inside has beautiful Mediterranean / Moroccan-inspired decor (including the plates, bowls, and utensils).\n\nThe Grilled Fish with Romesco Sauce and Pomegranates is tasty and perfectly grilled. Saffron Rice is aromatic and colourful; it includes apricots, sultanas, pistachios, and edible flowers. The Fried Brussels Sprouts Leaves with Dates & Almonds is a must-get item on the menu! Even those with aversion to brussels sprouts ended up really liking this dish. The crunchy fried brussels sprouts leaves & almonds balance really nicely with the slightly sweet, soft dates.

Great location just opened closed to Traders Joe's. Veey clean. Staff is super friendly. Quality of food is excellent and tasty. The size of their bowls are hugh. I got the lamb casado bowl it was delicious. They are open 7 days a week. I will be a regular customer here. Love Mediterranean food and love to support good business. Stop buy. Bring your family and enjoy the ambience Delicious food, excellent service. We tried the lamb kabob, shawerma, falafel and philly steak. Wide assortment of different flavored hummus. Interesting combinations. Try them out. The food was great, fresh and flavorful, nice portion size. Very friendly service. Slightly pricey but worth it. Just discovered this restaurant! The food is amazing. Everything is fresh. The prices are very reasonable. I plan to go back soon and try other things on the menu. Had a great experience here. The service was awesome. The food was even better. I ordered several items for my family and every single one of them were delicious and full of flavor. The beef lamb sandwich was amazing, it was full of meat and sauce. My most favorite items were the different types of Hummus'. I definitely plan to go back

Felt like a downtown Chicago restaurant with delicious, fresh food made to order. The Catfish breading is like nothing I've ever really tasted before, and I highly recommend their barbecue sauce on everything, including the fries! Did they go to Chicago to get our chicken & fish because it took friggin' forever to get our food! About 35 to 40 minutes to be exact which would not have been that bad had it been good - it wasn't. The chicken was bland and the only thing that made it OK was the crispy skin and the mild hot sauce which was way too sweet. The fried catfish on the other hand was fairly tasty and the meal itself was huge. I would come back for the fish, but as far as the chicken goes, Popeye's is much tastier & quicker too. Way too expensive ($13.99) for a forgettable meal. Go back to Chicago, Harold & take your bland chicken with you. "If there\'s such a thing as "food for thought" then it\'s close cousin must be the "food for the soul"." - Aljamin Santos (c)\n\nWe dress our Sunday\'s best every Sunday to Church because we want to be presentable to a Higher Power. Whether or not you believe in such as a Higher Power aka God, we will find common grounds in Harold\'s Chicken and Fish. Tracy at HC&F\'s beliefs are parallel and very evident that she believes in dressing the great food served here in it\'s best and highly presentable in her very new location on West Cheyenne. Barely a Las Vegas local, Tracy came here about a month and half ago from Southside Chicago taking along with her the deep and fresh tastes from Chicago with her version of Chicago\'s soul food! Don\'t be fooled-- the other Harold\'s are owned by different folks!\n\nA few of my friends and I planned to get sandwiches, but when we were waiting to turn into the plaza, my gf mentioned that HC&F has a sign saying "NOW OPEN". I honked at my brother and with all my knowledge of sign language, I frantically tried to signal him to look at HC&F\'s sign! Little did Tracy know, that the reputation of HC&F precedes them and we\'ve been waiting for them to open for quite a bit of time already. We walked in and started to take in the place. The entire restaurant is likened to a very large dining room with 2 flat screen televisions, sofas, chairs, plenty of tables, and jazz decor. The menu is self-explanatory but if you have questions, Tracy would be very happy to answer them. When we walked up, I asked what "perch" was. I\'ve never heard of it and Tracy was so kind and generous to give me an explanation and offer a sample for me to try it! That\'s hospitality! :)\n\nAfter we ordered, we sat for no more than 7 minutes until our food arrived. We were the only customers, but 7 minutes for all the food we ordered came out to us brought by Tracy herself in pretty good time! We ordered the catfish and dark meat chicken combo. The combo came with 3 catfish filets, 1 leg, 1 drumstick and some fries. It didn\'t come with a drink though. That\'d be nice if it did :) The catfish was fried in a corn meal kind of crust and had just the right amount of that fish-y taste and flakiness. Tasty, indeed! The fried chicken wasn\'t very different, but reminiscent of Popeye\'s. Popeye\'s is one of my favorite chicken places, so for me to say it\'s like Popeye\'s is a good thing. Fries are fries so there isn\'t much to mention about that. However, the perch, is something I\'m new to and am probably going to replace catfish with it! Tracy\'s description of the perch was spot on: more meaty and a little bit saltier. Prepared the same as the catfish, the perch\'s flavor really broke through and collided with my taste buds!\n\nTracy was very hospitable to let us try some of the perch already, but just when you though that was it, she came through with some freshly cooked shrimp that were te size of prawns! She told us to give them a try and let her know how they were. So, this goes out to Tracy: "The shrimp and perch was the BOMB!" :D This particular HC&F has potential to become something exceptional and definitely a local favorite! The space inside is large enough to host a live band on Friday or Satirday nights! Just a few ideas! :) Not only did the food have soul, but Tracy and her crew straight from Chicago had the spirit in them today too! I look forward to out next trip. Next time, we\'re bringing the whole crew down! **Summary**\n - Breading - For their catfish, they use cornbread breading, but it isn't as flavorful as catfish alley. With that said, it's still a very good catfish.\n - Portions - The portions are humongus. The Lg. Catfish Fillets comes with five gigantic catfish. They're twice the size of other places.\n**Price**\n - $20 fed four of us and we couldn't finish.\n**Ordered**\n - Large order of Catfish Filets (5) - Five delicious, gigantic fish fillets with cornbread breading with french fries and a piece of toast.\n - Side of Okra - The okra is good. My favorite place for okra is still church's (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nupAsas-_hc8225O_5APMQ?select=4_Ru-8uSrii9KihGoVSxgw).\n - Large order of gizzards - A bit too little seasoning, but it was still good. This also came with french fries and a piece of toast (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nupAsas-_hc8225O_5APMQ?select=DkSR9q6z7Kmp-oOjwEjqCQ).\n**Recommendations**\n - Compared to the other catfish places around town, I have to rank this second for flavor, but definitely first for value. I still prefer catfish alley's catfish for their incredible spices in their breading. As for value though, the filets here are twice as large and the prices are alot lower. I was very SHOCKED to see this in Las Vegas first... But I couldn\'t resist trying it. It is close but no cigar. I ordered the fried catfish from the lady who talks to you without you knowing it. She was nice just need a different approach. \n\nShe asked for my order "what you need", from the back side far behind the wall of the cooking area. It took 15 minutes to get luke warm food. I DO NOT like cold french fries...YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! \n\nThe setting of the restaurant was nice. the seating area is huge. This place has lots of potential but you have to step it up a noch because Harolds in the CHI is bomb... and they are the namesake..

We are out of towners visiting relatives. This was our second time here, one of our relatives enjoys this place and he was treating so...\n\nI like the laid back atmosphere here and no big rush to push us out the door either even when they got busier. I ordered the clam on pasta with garlic butter sauce. Although the dish was pretty tasty, it was dripping with grease. Hope it was olive oil since I know THAT is good for you, ha, ha! The antipasto salad was pretty good and the service was fine. Great little Italian spot in S-ville. 4 stars I love this place. It's not fancy, reminds me of NY Spaghetti house downtown, Italian-American style. Open kitchen as u walk in, always busy here. Very consistent & always good. The veal parm is the best in town hands down. I'm very fond of this place. Old school. \n\nToday for lunch the chicken parm lunch comes w salad (get the cheese & ranch) spaghetti side & the entree. No veal parm in the lunch menu. Glass of Chianti. Bro got the rigatoni w meatball. The great bread & butter standard of Italian restaurants has arrived. I've been here so many times I can't even guess. Lots to do in & around this plaza. \n\nChicken parm is perfect as usual. Fried, marinara, cheese. Bam! Great lunch. Spaghetti meat sauce side a little Smokey. Not crazy about it. I'm full but gotta mop it up w last piece of bread. Rigatoni meatball how u like that I said? Oh I love it sez the Bro. \n\nSantos delivers again. My buddy GAT was here looking for a taste of the old days & he was kinda lackluster. Oh well. It's easy peasy for old gerg here. We had such a fun cousins dinner here one time it's hard not to smile. There's pictures somewhere of a big sausage. Where's the tab? $34+. 4 stars bc the meat sauce was off today. We stopped in at Santo\'s after a day of shopping not sure what to expect. It\'s located in a little strip mall, which is kind of kitschy, but still nice enough to not be suspect. We walked in and it seemed obvious that you\'d wait to be seated, but no one was at the podium and we stood there kind of awkwardly for at least 5 minutes waiting for the hostess. Eventually someone seated us, and the dining room was nice, if a little crowded. \n\nWe ordered the fried cheese to start and it was absolutely outstanding. It was pretty inexpensive -- around $5 -- and it came with 3 half slices of fried mozzarella. The marinara sauce that came with it was really good too. When it was time to order our entrees, I asked the waitress why it would be $1.50 for cheese on your salad, and she said something about the having to grate it, and that it might be cheaper if both of us wanted cheese on our salads to order a side. We didn\'t, so I agreed to pay the $1.50 for the cheese. I ordered the rigatoni and my boyfriend ordered the cavatelli. \n\nMy salad came first and boy was I surprised when I found that my salad was mostly cheese! I\'m not exaggerating when I say mostly. There were a few pieces of iceberg lettuce, some shredded cabbage, a couple chickpeas, a wedge of tomato, a slice of cucumber and the hugest pile of cheese. Their cheese are really good, but I never wanted to eat a bunch of shredded cheese with house Italian dressing. I don\'t know if something went wrong and they misinterpreted the order, but it was the strangest thing I\'ve ever attempted to eat. I gave up pretty quickly, and didn\'t care to send it back so I waited for my entree. Meanwhile, my boyfriend said the wedding soup was good, but wasn\'t as hearty as he\'d prefer. \n\nWhen our entrees came, the rigatoni and cavatelli both met our expectations. The meatballs were tasty and gigantic - almost the size of tennis balls. The portions are big enough that it was two meals for both of us. Overall, I\'m more than pleased with the pasta dishes, I just found the situation with the salad to be so strange. The pasta dishes were in the $10 range, and our bill all together was about $50 with an added pizza to go.\n\nWe reheated the pizza in the oven for lunch the next day, and it was very very good. It\'s pretty inexpensive for an 8-slice "large" around $9 for the pizza and then $1.50 or so for the extra toppings. We liked it, but I think it was better after being reheated in the oven because the cheese was more browned and the crust more crispy. \n\nI would go again, I liked it quite a bit, but I\'d have to be in the area. I didn\'t find it remarkably better than local Lakewood Italian places. Overall it was a good experience other than the salad. Oh my goodness! My first visit was yesterday although I have heard from others how good Santo's is. I will happily return!!! We were a party of 3 ladies enjoying a girl's afternoon. Service was friendly and prompt. A basket of fresh bread they bake in-house was brought to the table. Two of us enjoyed the salad and we must say the freshly grated mozzarella was a bonus! The other lady had the wedding soup and she is 100% Italian and said it was one of the best she has ever had. Could not get over how many meatballs there were! I had the eggplant parmesan with pasta aglio/olio. Delicious! They make their own pasta and it was evident in the first bite. One friend had their version of Frutti di Mare, aglio/olio, seafood pasta and she said it was excellent. The other friend had the chicken dish over red pepper pasta and spinach...she loved it. The frosting on the cake was the limoncello cake we shared. OMG!!!!! I am not a sweets person but was happy to help them share this. Light and refreshing...each bite a burst of fresh lemon with a wonderful lemon cream. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant and cannot wait until I am in this area again so I can go back!

I'm really upset that I am writing this updated review, but I know I have to do it. Gordo's has gone downhill, people. \n\nThe food here that used to always be stellar for me is now extremely inconsistent. On the occasions I have received gross food, it honestly has been really bad. Their enchilada sauce used to be spectacular all the time (perfect consistency, brilliant amount of spiciness). But recently, I was receiving a thin, gross, tasteless sauce every other time I ordered the enchiladas. The last meal I had here, I ordered a vegetarian burrito, chimi style. They neglected to include the guacamole with my burrito. That's my favorite part of the vegetarian burrito! [Sometimes when I order it chimi style, they plop the guacamole on top after the burrito is fried. When it wasn't on top, I figured the guac must be inside -- wrong!] Also -- and this part really disgusted me -- I noticed that my chimi had seven super-duper, fried-beyond-belief French fries stuck to the bottom of it. \n\nMy husband used to be a huge fan of Gordo's crunchy tacos. The last few times he has ordered them, the chicken has not tasted right and the taco shells were very mushy.\n\nI guess we kept giving Gordo's chances since we were big cheerleaders for this place from the get-go and was hoping the bad experiences we had here we just flukes. Doesn't seem like it anymore.\n\nAlso, they recently changed their menu and hiked up their prices. Not cool. So long, Gordo's, you've lost your Duke & Duchess of check ins. I just bought a brand new home in Queen Creek, right down the street from this dive..... I must have driven by it 20-25 times over the last few months while watching my house be built. Big bright signage on the front windows, nice area, I kept telling myself I needed to try it. BIG MISTAKE!!! I should have turned around and walked out at the same time I walked in. The 2 mexican ladies that work there were sitting at one of the booths texting. The floor was dirty. They should have been mopping, not texting. The tables are dingy and one of the had been painted over graffiti. No lights in the hallway to the restrooms. Which were stinky and dirty. When I asked the kid behind the counter what kind of fish they used in their fish tacos and he says "I think it\'s cod", that was clue number two to turn & go. But it was 2 pm and I hadn\'t had lunch yet. So I ordered the 2 fish taco combo...... The fish in the tacos was breaded and about the diameter of a lead pencil, over fried and tasted terrible. This is one mexican place I\'ll never walk into again! I can\'t understand why they have been open since 2009. Just okay. I was craving Mexican good but didn't feel like getting out of car on way home, so I bought the yelp promo! Thank goodness I only paid $5! The carnitas was tough and dry, the red chile meat was the cheapest cut of meat allowable for human consumption. Not all bad though, the rice and beans were good. And the $.99 tostada was good too. IF I go back, it will be for rice, beans and tostada. Afraid to try anything else! Decent Mexican for the price. We get street tacos for $1. We prefer steak to chicken. Three sauces to choose from, a spicy smokey sauce, green sauce and a red sauce. Food was really good! I ordered the bean chimichanga and it was huge. :) The people are very nice, great service! I will definitely come again! :)

I hope I experienced this place on a bad day. based on what we had on this day I would not go back. the food was dry and tasteless. Maybe it's better if you eat in, we got takeout, and our house is only 5 minutes away. I can't recommend it at all, based on the food we had. I really wanted it to be good, too! In this world where everyone\'s experiences end up on the net, this place needs to get with the program. We love good AUTHENTIC Asian food, so their "Favorite Chinese" dish section did not appeal to us. Orange chicken is not Chinese food, seriously. The Burmese/Thai section of the menu, however, really interested us. We chose 4 items from this section of the menu. When we ordered, we were informed that 2 of the items we had ordered were not available as they were out of both kinds of rice noodle. We substituted for the tom ka soup and a papaya salad. We also had pad Thai with shrimp (for the kids) and a Burmese chicken curry. \n\nThe soup came out first and I knew immediately that it didn\'t have coconut milk. I mentioned it to the server when he asked how the soup was. He said, "Yeah, I know, our chef is new." Uhhhhm okay, then why serve it that way? The soup tasted unfinished and lacked many of the flavors (i.e. lemon grass) I\'m used to in a good tom ka gai. \n\nThe pad Thai came out next. It was admittedly pretty darn good. The curry followed, but it took awhile for us to get to it, as the rice didn\'t accompany it. I asked about the papaya salad about 10 minutes after the other dishes had been served, but the server seemed annoyed and told me it was coming. The curry was on the yummy side. If you like white meat, this isn\'t for you. I can take an occasional foray into the dark side, so I liked it. \n\nWhen the long anticipated papaya salad came it was missing a few of its promised ingredients. I was unfamiliar with green papaya, so I had expected something a little sweet. A green papaya tastes a bit like zucchini. The tomato was on the pink side, never an excuse for that. If tomatoes are pink, they shouldn\'t be served. I was already full by the time this starter dish arrived. \n\nWater refills were promised, but not delivered until the end. The place was nearly empty on a Friday night. The server took 10 percent off for serving sub par soup. The proprietors should ask themselves why. Let me tell you why. \n\n1. Your server was a bit distracted. One customer was even getting his own drinks. I know he\'s your son, which makes it an easy fix! \n\n2. You weren\'t able to provide simple menu items and ingredients that could be purchased at Fry\'s. Seriously, you don\'t have to go to Lee Lee Market for rice vermicelli. \n\n3. The place still feels like a Jack in the Box. Renovate! \n\n4. Do what you do well and focus on the Burmese/Thai end of your business. You\'re the only Burmese game in town as far as I know. Lots of places have "Chinese Favorites" \n\n5. Don\'t make excuses \n\n6. Try to make people want to come back! Coupons and to go menus help. Small place, former fast food joint. Service is good, food is amazing, It's cheap and fast and really tasty. Don't go here if you are looking for something fancy but if you want good food and good prices, it's perfect. Ate here again recently, and wanted Burmese food. Not sure if the menu has always been that way and I've just been unobservant, or if they changed it, but it didn't seem like there were a lot of Burmese dishes to choose from. As a result, I ordered what I usually get here, the nangyi, and also had some of the Burmese curry. The curry was very flavorful with a unique blend of spices making it different from Chinese or Japanese curry, but the nangyi had some pieces of stale and tasteless shrimp chip in them mixed in. If they were fresh and crisp, it would taste good in this dish, but I had to fish out all the shrimp chip pieces so it didn't taste like there was Styrofoam in my dish. So, mixed feelings on this one. I'll downgrade them to an A-OK I'm a Burmese so this restaurant is an awesome find for me. They make great Burmese food. I would have to recommend trying out the Burmese tea leaf salad or Ginger salad to first get a taste of Burmese cuisine. \nAlso definitely try out Burmese tea. I promise you. You won't regret that. It is true that this place is still starting out and need some improvements but the food is worth it.

Average bar. Good location. Great bartenders and DJ. But just a good ole regular bar with a nice sized patio with a view of the parking lot! But u can't beat the good staff!!! Amazing service, atmosphere and food! Have been going here regularly for the last couple years and haven't had an issue. The menu has a good variety and the bar has an extensive beer menu. From the name and decor you expect a Irish pub but it's not. That is the only bad thing I can say. Their menu is a mix of American and Italian food from burgers to chicken Parmesan and pizza. I had wings and the fries with mozzarella sticks. The portions were good and the wings were good little to no fat on them. The servers were prompt and tentative the bonus was they poured me a perfect pint of Guinness the beers temp was spot on. The place was clean and the mood was tranquil and not loud at all great place to eat Pickle salsa was awesome. They also had fathead on tap... Definite stop in the future. Great food! Everything was fresh and a lot was homemade, from the pickles to the dips to the chicken fingers. Also had a nice selection of beers.

Very cool spot. Loved the drinks. Vibe was great. Bar manager was very helpful recommending what to order. Would definitely add to the must visit Montreal list. First of all there is the popsicle bar cover-up, once you go through it comes the Boho bar, and then there is the so to say secret door to another underground space, the Clandestino bar. The purpose of this review is by all means to rave about Clandestino. Very chill vibe, the space is small, tiny bar counter and some sofas, where if you are lucky you can sit with a big group of friends and enjoy some drinks. Since Clandestino seems to serve as an overflow bar for Boho sometimes there are to many people just coming in and standing in the tiny opened space next to the bar. Be determined and jump on the first available seat if you'd like to hang in there longer. \n\nClandestino has a ginourmous list of mescals and tequilas. We did rely on the recommendation of the bar tender for the first round and fortunately we kept the receipt so we know what were the amazing smoky mescals we ended up trying. The cocktail list is so attractive that no doubt we had to try the mixes, tequila end mescal can be substituted upon request, but in general I like to stick to the original liquor choice of the mixologist. Don Solares and El Matador were perfect choices, where the El Matador certainly wins the competition. All the drinks are served in a fancy way, the tequilas and mescals are accompanied by fruits that will enhance the flavors. I loved the choice of music and the lights, very cozy space that could be also perfect for a more intimate encounter. Great speakeasy within a speakeasy. Amazing selection of mezcal. Bartenders are very helpful in helping to choose a spirit based on your tastes. The most memorable part, may be the smell. They were burning cinnamon - giving the room a smoky ambiance. Makes you feel like walking into another world - right as you enter. Pour impressioner une date d'une caverne cach\xc3\xa9 \xc3\xa0 l'interieur d'une cremerie glac\xc3\xa9. Ambiance feutr\xc3\xa9 , service discret, ideal pour un french kiss tamis\xc3\xa9e. Thank you Jose for the amazing experience and knowledge. We had an amazing time and I be back for some more tastings!!!

I was super ecstatic to try out a new ramen place. Especially with one finally on my side of out town. (Used to always going to JINYA). It\'s a small intimate restaurant, very "homie" and casual....let me just get down to it. I could\'ve easily boiled noodles and added raw spinach and called it ramen. Also, the produce isn\'t fresh. They have frozen edamame!!! Please don\'t waste your time and money coming here. Very bland, and flavorless. Will never be coming here again sadly. Needs better customer service, think about hiring new servers. Server was rude and food was not enjoyable. Management was literally doing business with other clients while we needed assistance. Wouldn't recommend to anyone, ever. Ramen KoBo is the place to go. Today is the first time for me and my friend to try this place. The food is good except the beef was hard to chew.\nThe service is very bad, the servers are not very helpful. \nMy friend and I will never come back to this place again The owner is a cook himself, he is very nice, so glad he opens this hot pot, perfect for winter. I ordered a sea food hot pot, a lot of food. Delicious! Hot and spicy. \nThey still need some time to be fully prepared, which I am totally fine with. It is a place big enough for party also. I hope their business can grow, grow, and grow! Good luck! \nBy the way, no drinks, because it is too close to a school. Came here for the grand opening, very new inside with minimal decorations. Ordered the lamb hotpot, house special beef hotpot, and chicken ramen. When the hotpots were brought out, the flame was raging and frankly, seemed like an inefficient and dangerous way to serve them. The presentation was not that eye-pleasing, but the size was appropriate for an individual serving. The broth of the house special hotpot was very flavorful and contents were tasty. The lamb and beef were not as tender as prefered, but managable. However, I would not recommend the ramen at all; the ramen broth was bland and a poor tribute to japanese style ramen. I would come back again for the hotpot for sure, but definitely NOT for the ramen.

The amount of food is crazy for the how cheap it was. We had two 5th graders split the chicken nuggets and they still had leftovers to take home. It was less than $7 for it. \n\n I got a veggie dish that was better than anything I've had in Champaign. Make the drive to Monticello, it's worth it. Good and quick, your typical Chinese restaurant in a small town. I've never ate inside but have had takeout several times. Nice, pleasant family who owns the place. Wonderful food and service by Jodi! She was a delight and polite and welcoming from the get-go. I was on my way to St. Charles and this was the perfect stop. Thank you for an enjoyable experience!! Hot & sour soup isn't what I'm used to but other than that Good food, Well priced, short wait times & clean restaurant with very friendly staff! We love it there. Excellent food! Our family has gotten takeout and dine in a few times at this restaurant, and it has always been very good. You can tell it is freshly made and hot when served. Also, very good variety of food listed on the menu. It is also not over priced.

I've had sushi at only two places in Cleveland, but this is by far the lesser of the two. Of all the sushi restaurants I've been to around the world, this one is clearly the worst. The sushi was not fresh, nor was the rice. After reading the reviews here, I was sorely disappointed.\n\nThe service however was quite good. I've been in too many restaurants where it was largely empty, and the service suffered. That was not the case here. Kudos to the wait staff for being on the ball.\n\nBack to the bad side, cleanliness is something they're only slightly familiar with. As I was walking out, I noted my shoes sticking to the floor. There were other sections of the carpet where a similar stickiness was found.\n\nOn a similar note, the toothpicks at the door were in a cup, not wrapped, exposed to the fingers of all who dared to take one.\n\nOverall, this place isn't worth the time. Take a few more minutes and go to Sushi Rock. It's a bit more trendy, and costs more, but the sushi is much better.\n\nAnd another thing...\n\nWhat self respecting restaurant takes Diners' Club, but not AMEX? M/C, Visa, Discover, D/C, but not AMEX.\n\nMeal times are too short to waste them on bad sushi. This is bad sushi. I had a major craving for sashimi today, so I found myself at Ginza which is about 2 minutes away from CSU. \n\nI ordered the sashimi special for lunch which includes 12 pieces of sashimi (3 pieces each of 4 kinds). It also comes with rice (your choice of sushi rice or steamed rice) and miso soup all for $12.95. The sashimi was cut a bit on the thin side, but I wasn't expecting a huge amount of food considering the low price. The fish itself was quite fresh and had good flavor.\n\nWhile I was waiting for my order, I perused the regular menu and the prices look a bit on the steeper side, even for sushi. I can't attest to the quality or quantity that come along with dinner, however, because I haven't been there during dinner hours. \n\nAnother thing I noticed while in the restaurant is that they offer happy hour Monday through Saturday from 5-7. During happy hour, all food and beverages are 15% off. Not a bad deal.\n\nSince I ordered my lunch for take out, I didn't get a good look at the entire restaurant, but from what I was able to see, it looked really nice. A previous reviewer noted they they played JPOP...today they were playing Christmas music.\n\nAll in all, my experience with Ginza was good. Wait time was fairly low for a take-out order, the food was good, the portion size was fair, and the price was fair. I recommend Ginza as a good place to get lunch in downtown Cleveland. Eek. Went there about a year ago for lunch and it was pretty decent. Not amazing like Ginko, but ok-especially for the price!\n\nWent back again a few days ago. Terrible. Food was awful. Sushi was NOT fresh at a all, extremely fishy and tastes awful. 3 rolls was $12.50 for the lunch special served with miso. I gave it two stars because of the service (good service, in and out, nice friendly server) and the miso was good. Sushi. Awful. This is is just around the corner from Progressive Field. Open during the day and sometimes at night. I say the atmosphere is closer to traditional Japanese and any of the other restaurants in downtown. They usually play Jpop music. Highly decorated and good place to checkout. Sushi was pretty good, but prices tend to be higher. They have photos of past celebrities hanging on the walls. Last weekend was CLAW (Cleveland Leather Annual Weekend) and a lot of the dudes stayed at the hotel across the street. My table was the only place in house without a single leather jacket or hat. The server seemed to get flustered easily. I don't think he really knew what was going on. The old lady in there is cute as pie and was pretty damn funny. The sushi was good. If you live downtown or on the near west side, Ginza is a good sushi option.

While the food is not too great here, the company does business with a crooked valet service We had lunch at the Market Square location yesterday, a Saturday, while on a tour of Pittsburgh. I've had some bad restaurant experiences in my life but this, hands down, was the worst. First, the waiter didn't write down our order. That could be OK if we were a party of two but we were seven. When the order arrived, predictably, it was wrong and missing the 5-year old's chicken tenders which didn't arrive until FIFTEEN minutes later. Three of the sandwich orders were wrong and most were cold. The waiter had to pry the sandwiches apart to tell what they were as he served them. And no knife and fork setups for anyone. My replacement sandwich was warm but the corned beef looked like it like it came from a supermarket deli counter. We also found out that sandwiches topped with french fries and coleslaw are really not a good concept especially when the bread is dry and breaks into pieces when handled. To be fair, Primanti Brothers at my request, comp'ed three sandwiches and when the bill arrived the waiter had also comp'ed the drinks. That gesture, however, could not erase the fact that the best part of the meal was our grateful departure. We ate at Primanti\'s before watching a Steelers-Ravens matchup on a snowy December 24th a few years ago. It was five guys with lots of room to consume, and we needed the calories to keep us warm for the game. A cold and persistently penetrating wind whipped through the exposed stadium and made us get up from the garishly-colored, bright yellow seats to stamp our feet, clap our muffled hands, and generally cheer on "our" team to victory. But for whom to root? That was indeed the question. While I was wearing a Polamalu jersey - and grew up outside Pittsburgh in the northern panhandle of WVa - I was living at the time in Baltimore and had come to appreciate the defensive power and toughness of the Ravens squad (but not their arrogant, chinless former coach, or his idiotic sunglasses. Gloat after you\'ve got more than one ring, buddy! Some Steelers have more rings than they do fingers, at least for one hand to bear). Still, I was totally on the fence about which side to cheer for, and that made me the enemy.\n\nBut we ALL could agree on Primanti\'s. I had the smoked turkey sandwich, the fries and slaw inside of course, and a local microbeer, the kind that once made this German-immigrant rich city famous before the world wars and the god awful mistake that was prohibition ended all that. Primati\'s was basically awash in black and yellow, terrible towels hanging from many a pocket. I thought about quoting Poe but wisely kept silent. It was a decision that likely saved my life in this football-frenzied city of the three rivers, in one of which my body likely would have been found floating the next morning, with purple blood floating on the dark waters (not the Monongahela, please! I can never spell that one right). Besides, my mouth was full with delicious food and brew. The Steel City never tasted so good. For even though the Steelers were vanquished on the gridiron that day by the Birdmen of Baltimore, Primanti\'s definitely came out a winner. But those fries and overstuffed sandwiches will get \'ya, even if Heinz, err, Hines Ward doesn\'t. Quoth my stomach, nevermore! Well, at least not more than once every visit to the \'Burgh. If you had asked me 5,10, 15 years ago I\'d of said 4-5 stars without a doubt! Yet when I go to Primanit\'s (always taking friends from out of town) I am unimpressed. I guess many places have been cutting back while raising prices so I shouldn\'t be surprised, but Primanti\'s should be above this as an iconic place that seems to always be featured when Food Network "stars" venture to the city of bridges. \nBut alas, Primanti\'s has dwindled to below average in my mind and always leaves me hungry for something better. Their "sammiches" used to be piled high with good meats, slaw, and fries and are now a shadow of their former selves. A carnivore would not be happy with the finger full of meat presented on the sandwich. The coleslaw and fries are still top notch, but the often rude and ever busy staff, the higher prices, the swelling pride, and lean portions of animal proteins have me buying their slaw and making my own Pittsburgh sammiches at home! Why order a sanwich, a side of fries and cole slaw when everything can come in one on the cheap?\n\nI was in town for a conference at William Penn and made a point to check out Primanti after learning about their sandwiches from Samantha L. Conveniently located nearby the conference hotel on the other side of Macy's, the place is right off a small tunnel and somewhat easy to miss. The decor was interestingly rugged hole in the wall and reminds me of a no-nonsense working class diner with a few small wobbly tables, napkin dispensers and conventional condiments dispersed throughout.\n\nIt was already 2pm and my good friend from Texas and I were starving all day so our expectation was fairly high. My order of knockwurst sandwhich ($5.79) came with two thick slices of soft white bread with sliced knockwurst, cheese, cole slaw, special sauce, and a huge load of french fries tightly stacked in between. At first it looked like a tall order to finish it, but the delicious spongy white bread made it easy. I'm a big sausage fan but would have preferred something other than their knockwurst. Otherwise, the blend of melted cheese on square-shaped hearty fries and slightly tart and the not too saucy pickled slaw made it a sinful and yet delightful experience. \n\nAlbeit the interesting concept, it was nonetheless a heart clogging meal so thank goodness that I don't have access to this type of sandwiches all the time. It is still a must try however, for any first time visitors to Pittsburgh. Service was brief and straight forward and my food was served on a paper plate. Thanks Samantha, for the wonderful recommendation! 3 stars for the worthwhile experience. I hope to be back.

My wife and I decided to visit this restaurant while driving home after running errands this evening. We decided to eat outside and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and nice evening. The hostess was very nice and quickly seated us at the table we wanted. We no sooner had taken our seats then chips and salsa had appeared. The salsa was presented in a carafe that held enough so that we could refill the salsa dish a couple of times...very clever and appreciated!\n\nThe chips and salsa were tasty and had a nice zest and tang to it which you certainly don\'t find in typical Midwestern "mexican" restaurants. Having grown up out west I definitely was excited at this discovery. My wife and I both ordered Margaritas; both were of a good size and tasted of freshly squeezed limes and a generous amount of tequila...just right!\n\nFor dinner I ordered the 3 taco special, my wife going with the same (mostly because she liked my choice!). For an appetizer, we simply ordered homemade guacamole to go with our chips. The guacamole was refreshing and fresh. Even my picky and a half year old son liked it!\n\nThe main course was delicious...simple soft tacos with grilled beef and lettuce, pico de gallo and an avocado-lime-cilantro sauce to add along with black beans. I also added some of the guacamole and it made for a filling and savory soft taco.\n\nDuring the meal, our waitress came to check on us and was very nice to us and our son. The people running this restaurant are great hosts with a friendly attitude.\n\nWe finished the guac and chips for dessert..a perfect finish in this case along with our remaining margarita.\n\nI was truly impressed here. We will be coming back sometime in the near future, hopefully bringing some friends with us! Food was good once they fixed the mistake. Horrible fly problem!!! Spent so much time swatting at flies I just left. Great food, service, and ambiance! We sat out on the patio tonight and had a fantastic meal. Good chips and salsa to start with. We didn't get the tableside guacamole, but the adjacent table did and it looked great.... 2 fresh avocados with your choice of additions seemed like a great deal for $6. Margarita with sangria was very good. Dinner was great with left overs for tomorrow! Will definitely be back. Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Very affordable. The kids love the cheese dip and quasadias. The chorizo sausage is the best. I started my meal with chips and salsa with some queso. The salsa and queso were great but the chips themself were a let down. Some were either under cooked or stale and just not my fav flavor.\n\nFor my entree i had the lunch fajitas express. As advertised the fajitas came out FAST. The portion was more than adequate for a lunch menu item and it had TONS of meat. I took half of it with me and ate it for dinner. All in all (other than the chips not being my favorite ever), I left full and happy.\n\nOh service was good. Attentive but not over bearing.

Food is great. I got the fish and BBQ chicken combo. Fish was perfectly fried and the chicken was tender. I think they put too much cabbage which makes the portions look a little deceiving. Mac salad was pretty good I would come back I normally never write 1 star reviews. But this 1 star is for terrrrrrible customer service. The cashier named Stephany was rude, snotty and seemed like she did not want to be there. It was my first time there so I asked for any recommendations her response was "I don\'t know" and rolled her eyes at me. I came in the door at 9:50 PM and they closed at 10 I asked if it was still okay for me to order her response was "sure we close in several minutes." I have never met or ran into service like this. Food overall was decent but the service I got from Stephany I\'ll definitely be going to Ono Hawaiian instead. I bought a groupon that was good for 3 visits. We live right around the corner from Aloha Kitchen on Alma School and Guadalupe so we will always be partial to there, but Golden Hawaiian was good. \n\nMost of the entrees are average compared to other Hawaiian places in the valley, but the one thing that really solidified my 4th star for them is their loco moco. Their loco moco is one of the tastiest ones I've ever had (and I'm from Hawaii)! Their burger patty is big, well-seasoned and juicy and the egg/gravy is always well prepared.\n\nI've had the orange chicken, katsu and musubi--all of it was so-so. The only thing I will get from here is the loco moco, but it is well worth the trip for me :) I usually order the kalbi short ribs with white rice and side of Mac Salad. I usually call and come to pick it up during my lunch break so I wouldn't have to wait, and they do a pretty good job at getting those orders ready. It's consistent but I've never tried anything else on the menu. They also do a lot of delivery services if you aren't able to pick it up - I saw tablets for Uber Eats and Postmates. If you're craving for something fast, definitely go here! Overall the food was ok. The crab puffs had a very tart flavor so I requested to exchange them for macaroni salad. At first we we're given a little bit of push back but after reaching out to their management they honored our request.

Yeah, if you just need something that resembles a bowl of noodles and a piece of sushi this place works I guess. No real flavor and authentic should never be used. Staff was nice but the prices are ridiculous for what you get. Good spot for a noodle house, hopefully they can take the reviews and make a change. My fianc\xc3\xa9 and I are always on the hunt for local joints that have both sushi and Pho on their menu. Up until coming here we hadn't found a location that nailed both dishes! Homerun for both the sushi (lots of variety) and the Pho here! We were looking for a place that was close to home (we live downtown) and had menu options for both of us! Consider us regulars now!! It's an added bonus that this place is located next door to the movie theater. Makes for lovely impromptu date nights . \n\nThe menu items are reasonably priced (2 appetizers two beers 3 sushi rolls and Pho = less than $60) There is a good beer selection (GIANT Kirin bottles) and expansive saki selection. The sushi menu is fully loaded. There is lots to choose from: sushi for beginners and sushi for the connoisseurs. The fish tasted fresh and the sauces they use here boast lots of flavor that didn't over take the fish in the rolls. The Pho had an intoxicating aroma and the broth flavors were intense...in a tasty way. The soup comes with a side of lime cilantro and sprouts which makes for a traditional pho experience. Overall we love this place and will continue to come back and try new sushi with our Pho. We found it randomly and we're delighted that we did. Oh and the staff is friendly and professional, but even if they weren't we would still be back ;) This place is at a disadvantage given the construction in the area. The service was excellent on an this afternoon visit. The shop is small with a nice atmosphere. We ordered three meals yakisoba, teriyaki chicken and an 8 piece sushi meal. All of the food came out together in around 10 minutes. The teriyaki chicken came with rice, salad and miso soup. The soup was plain, but adequate. The meat was tender and delicious. The other two meals were gobbled up by my family and both were enjoyed. The waitress was very friendly mentioning that we were a beautiful family. Overall, I would recommend this place given my experience. First off, no bathrooms, and for a restaurant, that should be against code/regulations. The only bathrooms in the Arizona Center were closed. I had to sneak my son into Hooters to go pee.\n\nThe Yakisoba was plain, not much flavor. Chicken was really dry. We also ordered sushi and nothing exciting to report. Checked into Yelp and got a free order of gyoza, but all we got was one piece!!! We spent 90+ bucks and all they could afford was one piece of gyoza?!?\n\nI'd give this place one star, but giving it two stars since the waitress was nice. The service was pleasant but slow. The food was subpar and overpriced for what you get. Would not return.

This restaurant is a Vaughan gem. It's small, clean, good atmosphere and very conducive to a good, quick, casual Italian meal. We've had the pasta, veal sandwich, salads, and they're all delicious and fresh. Been a long time fan of their pizza. Now, I'm a new fan...\n\nTried the gnocchi rose and chicken parm. Wow! Awesome!\n\nDefinitely remind them about the garlic bread that comes with the dishes. Dip it in the sauce and enjoy!\n\nThis is one of the best gnocchis I've had in a long time!\n\nChicken parm portion was incredibly generous. And tasty too. \n\nDon't hesitate. Dine in or take out. \n\nFully recommend. When my children were at preschool they used to have their pizza lunch on Fridays from antoninos. The pizza is delicious. We haven't tried pasta and we've never eaten-in but the pizza is very good and reasonably priced when you pick up. Yum, Excellent family run bizz. Wife and I frequent often with great service and food.Hands down one of the best Italian home cooked restaurants in Vaughan. Blessed from day one !! Love this family owned business. Been going here since public school and now I'm a uni student. Amazing pasta, veal, sandwiches, pizza, everything !!

Had 3 tacos tradicional (carne asada, pastor, and chorizo), chips and guacamole, and a margarita. Everything was excellent. I will definitely come back. Highly recommended. Food was good as usual, I liked that they have alcohol available at this location. \nService was a bit too attentive, but wasn't really a nuisance This was the first time I have been to this location (by Black Dog - champaign). It seems to be fairly bland (undecorated) because they have just moved in. But, the food was the reason I came here, so that is what I will comment on. I have been to Maize many times in the other location (1st and green), the menu here seems to be the same. \n\nI decided to try something new. I forgot the name of the item, but if you refer to my picture, it is basically a sandwich that is sitting in a plate of soup. It tastes exactly how it looked, a soggy sandwich in spicy soup. The sandwich itself was simple and fresh (onions, carnitas, cilantro, cheese, beans). The soup however, was strong in flavor, spicy and salty. The pair just did not go well together. My sandwich was all soggy on the bottom and dry on the top. The spiciness of the soup overtook the flavor of the sandwich. \n\nAlthough my soup-sandwich was something to avoid, Maize offers many different types of foods that are delightful. I would recommend the burritos or gorditas! Maize's small but delicious menu is a university student favorite place for quick bite. Having lived in Tucson, Arizona, I have eaten a lot of great Mexican food. I have never been thrilled with any of the local mexican restaurants here in Champaign. That is no longer the case. Maize is so good! I tried several times to go to the campus location but it was always too busy. \n Now that they have a larger location, it is much better, at least until the students get back to town. Their food tastes incredibly fresh The homemade soft corn tortillas are excellent. I love the brown salsa that comes with the chips. I have only had two menu items - the veggie tacos and the steak fajitas. They are so good it is hard to try anything else, but I will make that my goal. This is my go-to restaurant right now. Great food at a very reasonable price. -Food is 5 star (the pastor tacos were amazing!)\n-Service was a 2 star (wasn't even rush hour and extremely slow; many wrong orders within our party; forgot to bring things)\n-Drinks were a 1 star (not tasty, limited choice, and REALLY expensive for what you got).\nOverall, go for the food but expect to wait!

This place has been sold once sold twice sold sold sold. And the food has going more downhill than Kyle Rasmussen at Incline Village circa 1982..... give it a pass. The sign on the front of this place reads:\n\nNew Menu\nNew Chef\nSame Owner\n\nAnd yes, the owner has made some good decisions recently.\n\nGone is the so-so food and cheap draft beers and the old O.P. crowd. In are pricier micro-brews on tap and in the cooler and definitely better food coming out of the kitchen. I'm sure the old timers would balk at the prices these days, but hey, it is a fresh breath of air in the O.P.\n\n4th Avenue Grille is probably my favorite restaurant in the O.P. these days (there are only 3-4 other sit down restaurants in town), although it is serving up simple, hefty portions of comfort food and not the typical old-school Italian food found at its competitors. This is not fine dining by any stretch.\n\nThe first time I went in about a month ago, I tried the Rachel (which I use to gauge the food quality at any new restaurant serving up comfort food). It was the best Rachel I've ever had. And their french fries were cooked perfectly. It left me wanting to try more of their menu.\n\nLast night I tried the Chicken Parm sandwich - and again, it was delicious. Washed it all down with a few bottles of Fatheads' Headhunter and all was good. Although they don't have a kids' menu (not good if you have a little one), their chicken tenders are delicious and can be shared by the rest of the family. Their individual pizzas are OK, but my son was pretty quiet the entire dinner, busy eating and not climbing all over the place (which is unusual and a sign that he also enjoyed the food).\n\nIf you haven't been here recently or ever, next time you pass it by - definitely give it a try. I did and was pleasantly surprised at the changes made to the menu. Wings were fatty, fries were undercooked, and the hot sauce on the wings had an overpowering vinegar taste. The staff was nice and Wed night is .40 wings, but that's all it really had going for it. Always have had good service here pretty good food and good prices. I went for the first time about two years ago and have gone back twice since so the food cannot of been that bad, Ha ha kept me coming back I normally don\'t write these but I had a very bed experience here this past weekend. Bartenders and regular guests were very rude to my boyfriend and I when we arrived for a specialty event. Clearly a "locals" bar. Wouldn\'t go there if you\'re not a regular because you\'re probably not welcome.

Worst service I've ever experienced anywhere. Walked into an empty restaurant was not acknowledged. Customers who came in afterwards were. Received hands down the rudest treatment. Ended up canceling my order. And the owner has yet to call me. \n\n\nWell sent the email..... DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING service @ Dickey's Barbecue Pit (480) 812-1687, 1005 South Arizona Ave. \nChandler, AZ 85225. Ordered through Grubhub, but store screwed up order BIG TIME and when called manager she was awful about compensation. DO NOT ORDER from this location! TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE customer service to correct their wrongs. I'm eaten at Dickies countless times, however I'm compelled to write this review based on trying a new location. Warning, the menu has completely changed, portion sizes are smaller, and prices have gone up. And the worst thing is that they no longer have French fries or any fried food for that matter and the ice cream machine is GONE!! Also, the beef brisket sandwich is now completely plain, no onions or pickles. I just feel like I was ripped off compared to the old menu, prices, and amenities. I don't plan on ever going back ... Food is fantastic! I can't believe we just stopped in for the first time. Excellent customer service. They go above and beyond to take care of their guests! You are noticed. Thank you!! I was really excited when I learned that there was a new Dickey\'s close by. The food at this location is the same great quality that we had back in Texas, but my lower rating is because of the service. \n\nWhere do I begin... When I walked in, the guys were struggling with a cash register issue. Instead of letting me know it would be with me in a minute, they ignored me while I stood there, awkwardly, for a good 3-4 minutes. \n\nI ordered brisket, pulled pork, cole slaw, okra, mac and cheese and beans to go. This location doesn\'t have okra, and they were out of beans. Disappointing, but understandable. I asked for sauce and pickles, and was told "sure!" Got my order home and had potato salad instead of slaw, no sauce, no pickles, and three very small rolls for an order to feed six people. I was the only person there who was ordering food, so it shouldn\'t have been difficult to keep straight.\n\nI will give them another shot because it\'s Dickey\'s and it\'s delicious, but they need to fix the service issues if this location stands a chance.
