I stuck to appetizers and smaller tapas-style bites on my first visit but was pleased with the quality and service.\n\nBABY WON TONS IN HOT CHILI OIL: The best! Tiny, delicate pouches with a pinch of filling, swimming in a fantastic chili oil with bits of garlic. This was my favorite dish, and one I\'ll be coming back for.\nFISH ROLLS: Skinny rolls filled with fish and cilantro, wrapped in crispy won ton skins, reminded me of a fresh take on lamb cigars in Mediterranean cuisine. These were simple but good.\nWOODEAR MUSHROOMS: BF picked this dish, and he liked it. I did not care for the jellied texture of the mushrooms. These were seasoned with a slightly-spicy sauce and a lot of lemongrass. \nCRISPY SHRIMP IN GARLIC OIL: Five crispy shrimp, with a savory chopped mushroom topping, nicely cooked. I did not care for the "garlic oil", as it did not have much flavor and lent the dish a greasy feel. \nPORK AND SHRIMP SHUMAI: These were served in the steamer baskets, and had thicker skins than I am used to. The dipping sauce was a bit bland, but the filling was generous and balanced. \n\nThroughout our meal, service was attentive and polite. They are still in the grand opening stage until the end of the month, and have several promising-looking entrees and hotpot dishes. I hate giving low stars on a new restaurant but there's a couple things that caused this. It's a newly opened place yes, everything looked nice and clean. \n\nCons are, the bathroom has a new paint smell, and it's really bad, I know it's normal but they should at least keep the door open at night, because it's really really bad when I was there, I literally couldn't breath, I rushed in washed my hands and ran back out, the smell. \nThe food: like all other spicy foods, pretty good, but I ordered some fried chicken wings that are not fully cooked inside, I saw red blood after my first bite so that was it for the wings. \nThe price: Price SEEMED normal, but I got a way higher bill than I expected ( twice as much ), how did that happen ? I wasn't sure, I was in a rush so I said forget it. So make sure you check your bill before you leave, maybe compare to a menu? \n\nPros: Clean, waiter/waitress checked on drinks constantly, very good service.\nBig bun with soup inside, very good, ate it all.\nMenu has a lot of appetizers dish, not as much entrees.\nAte a big balloon shaped pancake? Deep fried, empty inside, looks really cool, taste good too.\nChicken wings has this amazing crust, only crust tho, I didn't eat any meat.\n\nAnyways I probably will give this place another try after couple of month and let them get familiar with the new business. Good food! Good friend! The food is really tasty and the service is great!it is really nice place to dining in! I will definitely come back for more... Was looking forward to try this place tonight. To our disappointment, they're closed!! On a Friday night they're closed! We should've known something was up cause their phone was invalid! Arrival time was 6p.m.!! Initially, we had high hopes for this new restaurant, but after a lunch, Mala proved to be disappointing. I would have given them one star, but they had good service hence two stars.\n\nMala means numbing and spicy. We ordered a chicken dish that was supposed to be numbing and spicy; however, the dish wasn't numbing nor flavorful, only the spiciness was apparent. We told the manager, and she was quick to fix it by offering to redo the dish again. The second time around, the dish was more spicy but still lacked the numbness. Perhaps the peppercorns used weren't fresh enough to bring out the numbness. \n\nOur second dish was a seafood hotpot. Again, we had to inform the manager that the dish did not taste right because the shrimp was not fresh enough and had a very apparent bad taste to them. The chef redid the dish again, and everything tasted fine the second time around. \n\nWe also ordered a soup bun. The soup was average, but the pork inside tasted a tad sour. We didn't inform the manager of this. \n\nIt was quite disappointing to come try a new restaurant only to experience food that wasn't fresh. I hope this won't be a regular occurrence. |

I came a couple of times and tried a couple of the appetizers. Shots of jose cuervo were $9 a shot, which is a complete joke. Nice bartenders though. Great staff, good food and FAST! I can't believe how fast they are here!! I was staying in the hotel attending a work shop and the second day we came in here we had a different waitress, but the waitress we had from previous day came over just to say hi! that is the kind of service this place has. Simply fantastic!\n\nSome of the food I tried:\n\n8oz burger with (cheese and bacon, $3 extra) - Huge good\nBun Mhi Vietnamese Sub (Beef Satay) - Not enough spice (or no satay spice at all!)\nMonte Cristo - Good\nFive Spice Chicken - Pretty good enough to fill me up an plenty of flavor!\n\nEverthing Jason says below is also true... The place is just a really cool throw back!!! If you\'re looking for a classic dark haunt in downtown Calgary, look no further. This place is trippy - I\'d swear I was either in a seedy part of Vegas, or stuck in a time machine. Dark wooden walls, no windows, and a bartender with a vest, bowtie and damned close to what I would call a handlebar moustache, all add to the ambiance of the place. That, and the faint odour of thick cigarette smoke from the bygone "good ole days". \nBut what a cool place, too. Customers are regulars here, and have been coming for lunch for years. The waitress has likely worked here since she was young, which was quite some time ago, but she knows everyone who comes in the door (or at least she will before you leave if this is your first time!). \nFriends raved about the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich, so as they say, "when in Rome".... The sandwich came and it was piled about 4 inches high with extremely moist and tender, lean smoked meat on rye with spicy mustard and a side of sweet mix pickles (not sure what the association is there, but they sort of went with the sandwich!). Being somewhat of a "refined eater", I found the texture to be a bit disconcerting - it was simply too tender for me. But who am I to judge? People have been coming to this fine establishment for decades just to have that sandwich, so they must be onto something. Definitely order just a half sandwich unless you haven\'t eaten for a week - trust me, 4 inches of meat will likely tide you over until dinner. \nOne note - I wouldn\'t recommend getting the French Onion Soup as your chosen side dish - when my friend\'s arrived, it looked like someone had tossed a sad Kraft single into a brown sea, and it didn\'t taste much better than it looked, apparently. So came here with a colleague and we just walked in and sat ourself. Not sure if that was the way to do it. Well my colleague is a frequent patron here. So this restaurant is located inside the International hotel, basement or kind of basement. \n\nI ordered the Po Boy sandwich which had clams, oysters, fish etc. Well I find not bad. but the oyster was a bit too much in the sea smell. Not sure if that is right but I am ok with it. At least its not over fried. I added $2 more and I got the seafood clam chowder instead of the fries or salad. Well its totally worth the $2. It was very delicious. I liked the clam chowder more. It not England Style but had a bit of curry kick to it. Not sure what style it was.\n\nOver all, it was good. I was blessed to have a friend take me here using there gift certificate they had received . I found the atmosphere to be really cool with the top level being where we placed ourselves so we could enjoy the numerous TVs tuned into sports. The first thing you notice is the overall dark appearance of the bar which gives the place an rustic and personal feel.\n\nOnce having a chance to look at the menu it can seen that the prices are comparable to most restaurants. However, we decided to share the calamari, which was excellent but for $11 the portion was considered tiny. I then followed that up with the 8oz burger (bun less) and was very happy with the portion and quality i was served. while enjoying my dinner I was also sipping on a very good red wine. However, one should be aware that individual glasses of wine come at a very high price in my mind.\n\nFinally, the service was good and ensured that we were satisfied with our meal. However, due to the location of the restaurant and the difficulties of parking in downtown Calgary I would not go out of my way to go here again. But if you are staying nearby or work around the location it is worth a visit. |

Owners and entire staff are accommodating and genuinely care about food and service. Tried the longsilog (sweet pork sausage) which included garlic rice (sinangag is life), two eggs and atchara (pickled papaya = refreshing!) and lumpia. Excited to be back and try other items in the menu! Looking forward to inihaw na tilapia/ bangus! - Zhar Very delicious food! I thought it was gonna be overrated, but it wasn't, it actually over-delivered. Lol \n\nDefinitely get the Pork BBQ and Dinuguan! So good!\n\nOne of the best Filipino restaurants in the US, taste is authentic! I try to visit places more than once if I can before reviewing, but after a single Saturday-morning visit, I am a fan of Manila BBQ. I don't claim to be any sort of Filipino food-expert, but my meal was tasty and the service was super friendly and attentive, far above and beyond what I've experienced at other Filipino spots in Vegas.\n\nCame in solo and ordered the #1 (chicken sticks combo with red rice and mac salad), added on the lumpia ($4 for 10, beef or veggie), and the portion was enough to fill me up and take a bit home for later. The chicken was flavorful and well-cooked without being dried out or overly sauced, and I liked that their mac salad had a good balance and wasn't too heavy on the mayo. Their beef lumpia was nicely crispy with a tasty filling, but I did find their red rice a bit less flavorful and less moist than other spot in town. Loved the traditional condiments on the table, used way too much banana ketchup with my meal. Overall, food was good and I am looking forward to an opportunity to come back and try more- specifically the vigansilog and halo halo!\n\nThe service though really kicks this place up- the owner introduced himself, walked me through the menu and made suggestions, checked on me throughout my visit, and remembered my name when he escorted me out the door. Beyond super friendly! Hope to come back soon! I am a 77 year old well traveled "honky" partial to CHINESE & VIETNAMESE food. Am not crazy about KOREAN or FILIPINO food but took my FILIPINA wife to this place 3pm today (6/7/18) and tried the PORK BAR-B-Q and PANCIT. We loved everything about this little place near the GALAXY CINEMA on SUNSET. Food, cleanliness, family atmosphere and prices were excellent. This is the best FILIPINO food I\'ve ever had anywhere. My wife was likewise impressed. So, don\'t waste any more time looking for a great FILIPINO RESTAURANT here in VEGAS, this is the place! The food was great and the friendly service made it even better! A fun menu, including lots of good options. I'll be back!! |

Went there late, around 10:30 & ordered chicken and pork souvlaki and hummus with pita. Brought it home, ate & was delicious & fresh. GREAT & healthy takeout in Newmarket. I see this place got some bad reviews on help under old management but there are signs at restaurant saying there is new management so give it a try. Food is always great, but they always manage to make a mistake on my order in some way, usually forgetting to bring something. Last time I called to complain they told me they would bring it to me soon (they were closing in half hour) and nobody showed up. I called again the next morning to say I never recieved part of the order from last night and had paid for it but they apparently had no idea what I was talking about and refused to compensate me for it. The food was pretty good and the service was quick. Now it was a Thursday night, and not at all crowded. They had signs saying there was new management. I would say try it. Hard to like the ambiance of a restaurant re-done from a pancake house (I think) but we really had no complaints after having a meal here. Lamb and pork were cooked to perfection and the accompanying side-orders were generous. The big K, who can eat way more than I , enjoyed the complimentary garlic and pita bread. Our waitress seemed a little spacey and perhaps she was literally at the end of her shift because another server took over and even the manager made an appearance. (This, in a restaurant that was very dead on a Sunday night). I liked my meal and it certainly wasn't over-priced. But if you are looking for atmosphere, this place isn't for you. Wow. What a disappointment. I came here with my colleague for lunch earlier today, and we both decided to order the shrimp pasta. The server came back 5 minutes later to inform us that they did not have any shrimp. No problem. So we decided to order the calamari. Again, 5 minutes later, she returned to tell us that they did not have calamari either. We just walked out because at that point, we already wasted 20 minutes of our time. On our LUNCH BREAK. Terrible service. I will definitely not be returning. Thanks for nothing. |

Sleek and welcoming atmosphere, the patio provides comfortable and clean seating, very flexible seating and menu perfect for group dining. Beautiful decor and lighting along with friendly and accommodating staff. The food was fresh and authentic and was more than reasonably priced. Definitely the best food for the lowest price in the area. The recent patio renovation has pushed this place into easy 5-star territory!\n\nAlso, their wraps are incredible and shockingly, their crinkle-cut fries are made to perfection!

Gentleman that i assume is the owner is unfriendly and stingy when it comes to toppings. We come because the food is always good but if there was another closer we'd go there. I am writing this while I sit on the toilet 20 minutes after leaving this place. Food made me sick. Lady was scraping the bottom of beans that looked old, guy kept wiping his sweat in his sleeve. The only other Salsarita's I have been to is at the shopping center off park road and glen eagles and it is amazing. At this location it looked like staff were struggling to get it together at lunch time. Lady with short hair was struggling as she wanted to micro manage everyone. Then I saw two random people standing at the checkout. They ordered togo and staff hadn't even made their food. Bottom line: for a $12 combo it better be amazing and this sucked. I should have gotten burritos from McDonalds. This restaurant has gone downhill in recent months. Rice has hard pieces in burritos. This happened in 3 recent visits. My kids and I don't like that. Salsa is still pretty good. I wondered why there was no one in the place when I walked in today at 12:30. After what was possibly the WORST meal I've had in years, I no longer wonder. Salsarita's has nose-dived in the last 2 years. While it's never been known for great food, up until about a year or so ago, it was pretty reliable fast-food Tex-Mex. Not great but not bad. Now...it's just bad. I got the quesadilla and EVERYTHING about it tasted stale and bad-flavored. The queso was just awful. And most insulting was the price. $10+ for one lousy meal. Shame on this sham of a chain. I hope to hear that Salsarita's goes out of business. Soon. My first time at a Salsarita's and it was delicious! Quick service, great staff, and someone even came and took our trash for us. I highly recommend this place. |

We always park at FCP ($8!) and we meet at Szechuan Szechuan for takeout in the food court before walking through the PATH to the ACC.\n\nI am always very attentive to shrimp size and distribution as it is the most skimped upon and over charged for protein in asian restaurants of all kinds. Szechuan Szechuan does not cheap out! Noodles always cooked proper, food always tasty. The food tastes amazing. It is insanely busy at lunch but they always get my pickup order correct.\n\nSupper time is much more relaxing without an army of customers everywhere. Its a great place to take someone on a date or a business dinner. Not sure how authentic this place is as far as Szechuan cusine goes but I found the food here to be top notch. The crispy beef here was the best Ive had and after tasting it I went on a lame quest around the GTA to search for a place that had the same dish which would have served as my cheaper alternative. Though I did not find something of similar quality, I did find a few spots that filled the void.\n\nThis place has a take out sort of setup for those who do not want to dine in restaurant style but I've never tried it. Everything else I tried was good though a tad oily.\n\nIn a nutshell, great food albeit a bit too fattening to have everyday. This is the HQ of fast chinese food in the area. They've launched forays into the food court proper at First Canadian and into all the surrounding food courts as well. But this is the center of it all.\n\nFrom outside, lunch line ups look impossibly long. But they are a mix of eat-in and take-out patrons, and both move with incredible speed. Eat in lunches are cheap, plentiful and deliciously greasy in the Szechuan style. Nothing is terribly innovative or inventive, but hey, this is banker food court fare. The hot and sour soup is respectable, and pretty much everything is delicious. \n\nI would love to hate this kind of food corp machine, but when you're in the neighbourhood and looking for a quick lunch, it's really quite good. Not bad. Nice quiet atmosphere located in the PATH and open after work hours. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I just accidentally glanced at the server's way, and he immediately responded - not so typical in a Chinese restaurant.\n\nGot the lemon chicken and spicy eggplant for sharing.. yumm!\n\nLunch time is a totally different experience. It is busy! They have set lunch menu or my preference order dishes to share with separe order of rice ($1.75).\n\nRemember to call in to get a table or you will find yourself at the bar unless thats your thing.\n\nThey also have a lunch takeout menu (~$9). Yet to try it.. as I like to dine in.\n\nNot-to-order-again-list\n general tso chicken (might be okay if sauce was less strong)\n crispy pork with peking bbq sauce |

We came by for an early dinner on a Friday at a 5:30 pm. It's a large restaurant space similar to other pickle barrels. Had a lot of tables and booths in circular areas that provided privacy during dining. The first thing that probably should've been a sign was the lack of AC on a hot day (30 degrees). It was boiling hot in the waiting area. There was no air circulating or maybe there was and this was the way it is. It was a bit better in dining room but it was still way too warm. Maybe AC was broken but no explanation from anyone which makes me feel this is the normal state of affairs. Second bad sign was on walking to the dining room the dessert display was full of condensed and dripping like a rainy day inside the fridge so the desserts were not even visible. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly. Food came quickly. Portions were big. Had the early dine steak frites and the meat was very tough and chewy on a medium sear. Side Caesar had some black leaves mixed in. Chicken Faijitas a fair size. Food did not make up for the other problems. The restaurant seemed like it needed a Gordon Ramsay cleanup. Floors are greasy and sticky. Tables were oily and sticky. Drink menu on table was covered with dust and grease. Lack of AC probably made things worse. We ordered the banana split and that was the last straw. Looked alright but as you got into the ice cream part it was a watery gray mess of ice milk. I think I had better food at Denny's. I didn't have a good dining experience. Overall older location of chain that needs a serious check up. Love Pickle Barrel but they took off my favourite ribs with shmeer and latkis now they sadly serve fritters that don't compare pls bring back traditional food we loved Pickle Barrel for pls! Xo This place is pretty much keeping with the other locations. Enjoyed the patio because it was a very warm day and it is great area because it was not too busy. The wait was not too bad and the staff were fine. The food was pretty much up to par with the other locations that I have been to. This location is pretty much never too busy and a nice quiet atmosphere for the most part. I have never been disappointed with the menu. I have been here with co-workers and friends. I can recommend this location if you would like a nice quiet spot. We had a great experience, the place was about half full so fairly busy. Service was fast, our server was excellent. We had 5 different items from the menu all were tasty and generous portions. I think as much as half the time on Yelp, people are so critical they will never be happy. Don't go to a pickle barrel and expect $80 main course food and service just rate the place fairly. I love the salmon and the sweet potato fries. Their French toast and bacon is good. \n\nTheir is always a long line up close to any meal time. The service is only average... I like the renovated decor which was done a few years ago. But I go back for the Rose Resiman salmon... only 500 calories and delicious. |

Been there Done That. Cheap buffet.. comparable to Home Town buffet.\nSuper crowded, long wait, slow service from our waitress whom walk by us slowly several times avoiding all her tables.\nGood desserts ;-) \nBaked sweet potatoes & plain salad greens were my favorite clean eats.\nFor this price, sure I might be back upon request only.... not by my own choice. Well when we went we were lucky and got spared the long lines the we usually see. The food was good for being a buffet, it was above average. The only knocks I give the place is that the seating is horrible and you feel cramped and it's not the seating either it's also when you walk around and wait in line , u literally have to walk around a few people to get back to your table. The other knock on the place is the waiter, which is more of a buss boy who are suppose to give u refills, the waiter only refilled me twice and each time I waited a long time for those refills. The wait was terrible for my refills I got up and walked to to the beverage station and told them to refill me because I rather do it myself then wait. The place is ok the food was good, me and my family would come back again. Crowded....and you pay first before sitting down...\nThe worst? Make sure ALL your family members get here, otherwise, you won't be seated since they have to carefully count and organize the tables and chairs to squeeze in everyone. \n\nOur family got shit for it because it was the first we've been here, and so they should at least put up a sign outside for people warning them that!\n\nFood wise - \nThe steaks were chewy and dry...even the medium rare ones....\nPrefer Souplantation or Sizzler better....\nPrices are cheap, just like the food...\nFirst and only time coming here....\n\nThough one Pro: They're molten lava chocolate cake was pretty good.... The wait can get crazy at times but all in all the food and price is worth it. I couldn't get enough Steak which was a surprise seeing how this is a buffet. The shrimp was so/so but no real complaints. The teriyaki chicken was great and I managed to make a incredible salad with what the salad bar had to offer with little creativity. With plenty deserts to choose from I gotta give this place credit and before I forget the have a military discount. \nKnowaboutit |

I'm glad I made the trip because we've been back a number of times since then.\n\nThe BLT salad and kale salad are always really good. I recently went here with my co~workers for our night staff Christmas dinner. We had a reservation for 5:30, but in usual fashion my co~workers all rolled in over an hour or so later. The staff was very patient with us. They were extremely friendly(one even got hugs from us when we left) and attentive. We didn't have to ask for anything... they were at our table frequently keeping drinks topped up and food fresh. \n\nThe food was good! We split several appetizers between a bunch of us. I tried the duck poutine, the butternut squash risotto and the crispy squid. It was all so good! I don't like seafood and refuse to try calamari, but I gave the squid a try and it was really good! I loved the tomato eggplant dipping sauce that came with it. I ordered the stuffed chicken breast and veggies. It was very tasty! For dessert I went with the peppermint mocha cheesecake and it was ever so heavenly! \n\nThey closed the kitchen at 9pm.. or so they told us that's when it closes when we asked, but let us sit there, drink and chat until after 11 pm. They weren't really busy with it being a cold Tuesday evening. They had one large party and another group our size there. We stayed as long as the large party stayed. The staff never asked us to leave although I am sure they wanted to close and go home, but we saw no sign of that. \n\nIt's a nice place decor wise. Nothing super fancy, but nice. We took a bunch of pictures that the staff helped out with too. This was our second work function there and I would definitely go again! What a treat! Hard to find a restaurant that has it all! Great customer service , fabulous atmosphere, and great food! Well, we did! We decided to go early, 4 o'clock, after reserving, the restaurant called to see if we were ok with a lunch menu, which is more limited in choices. We were all fine with that. We were greeted by Rudy, who looked after us all for the rest of our meal. He was such a pleasure, and was very knowledgable about the menu items. The charcuterie tray was all local meats, cheeses and pates', the burger outstanding, and the wings certainly was a generous helping and very tasty. Since we had a very pregnant relative with us, Rudy made us both virgin drinks. What I also appreciated, was the fact we could hear each other when we were conversing, and didn't have to yell to be heard. Some of the new restaurants are just too loud! What a pleasure! We will definitely be back for supper some time. Check out tues dinner and a movie, it looks like it would be great! Thanks again Rudy! We want you next time too! Did not know this place was even here two days ago! Undiscovered jewel of Calgary! Who knew there was such a fabulous restaurant tucked away in Heritage Park? We went for the "Sunday Dinner" (lovely salad, prime rib with yorkshire pudding, fruit crumble dessert) -- wonderful in its simplicity; brilliant in its understatedness. The place is warm and inviting, the wait staff are relaxed and welcoming, and I look forward to their patio opening up. I've been to the Selkirk Grille several times now and have enjoyed it each visit. The food has always been wonderful and I love the atmosphere. For the summer there is a lovely, sunny patio and as it's away from any roads you don't get the noise or exhaust fumes. In the winter there is the skating rink just out the door. The service has been hit and miss as they have been short staffed on a couple of occasions but the staff has always been friendly and accommodating. I'd come back anytime. |

We were super excited to see that there was a new two hippies. \nUpon arrival the place had zero customers. I asked the owner how long she had been open and had some small talk with her. She described some of the items on the menu and it all sounded super good. She is very nice. \nI ordered a passion fruit lemonade. The lemonade is definitely worth just stopping in. Not too sweet, not too tart and it\'s blended!\nI ordered carne asada taco which was "alright." Sorta bland...\nI also ordered a chicken taco which was better and finally the shredded pork taco.. Stick with the pork.. it has a great green chili sauce on it. Overall great flavor.\nI\'m rating this place at 4 stars because it\'s low priced, decent food and the owner was a really sweet lady. Had a great beef taco here and got a free soda for going to PV! *Now out of business* I haven\'t written a review in a while, but I wanted to break my silence to sing praises for this new Two Hippies location.\nI love having a place in my neighborhood where I can get quality, veg-friendly "fast" food. The menu offers vegetarian tacos, burritos, loaded quesadillas, veggie burgers and tofu "sloppy joe" rice bowls in addition to a full selection of meat for you carnivores! A fan of the original THBH on Camelback, I was thrilled to see one opening very close to home. Not only is this a great addition to the neighborhood, but it will bring the addition of several inches to my waistline. \n\nThe owner of this branch, Cindy, was working the register and couldn't have been nicer. And, a 3-pack of tacos for $5.00 was a deal I couldn't pass up. Carne Asada, Chicken and Fish were my choices. \n\nThese are all well-sized tacos, making this more than a meal at a great price. All 3 were tasty and I look forward to getting back soon to try their wide variety of hot dogs. \n\nI never thought I'd be so happy to see hippies move into the neighborhood. I was excited to try this place and it looked really cute when we walked in. We took our tacos to go and when we got home we were really disappointed. We both got 3 taco plates... chicken and carne asada. The chicken was dry and the carne asada was unflavored beef. Overloaded with vegetables and most flavor was the onion on the taco. I really hoped it would be great, but it wasn't. |

The miso soup was standard, seaweed salad was on its last legs ( a little to close to expiration for me when it starts to have a gluey texture). The sashimi was presented with an ice sculpture ( kinda cool). Spicy tuna roll needed more spice, philly roll was tough grainy salmon, the special veggie roll was very nice. Doesn't compare to sushi club which dominated this space previously. Not sure why all the hype on this place Lovely lunch spot. Took over old Sushi Club location on Kensington road. Decor is clean, bright and a very low inviting sushi bar greets you along the wall in full view as you enter. Two large TV screens behind the chef; one with the menu, one a tv show I'd not seen before. Photos of the menu items were mesmerizing. A dozen tables for 2 or 4 people fill the restaurant. \n\nAs I can eat a lot of sushi and sashimi, I have to clear up the understanding of gluten free/celiac with the staff right away so I can read the menu properly. Gluten free rice wine vinegar used in their sushi rice. We confirmed on the box. Sadly the California roll is not, (imitation crab), however they do have a gluten free soy sauce if you do not want to bring your own. It's a sweeter taste than my usual brand. Not bad, just different.\n\nOn the day of our visit they were out of Ika (squid, and my favourite) since my coworker was on a food adventure - I try to introduce her to a new sashimi every time we dine, we opted for hamachi (yellowtail). Our combo came with surf clam (hokkaigai), a second new meat for her to try, and it did not disappoint. Steamed perfectly. Tooth tender and not chewey at all. Texture of all the sashimi was good. Fresh, or well thawed and prepared. \n\nA large and unique variety of rolls and house creations. \n\nRamen as well that looks great but isn't usually gluten free so I can't comment on it. \n\nTea was delicious, and very hot. Seldom were our cups empty. Water served was lemon water today. Not that Calgary has bad tap water to hide, (ok, sometimes in the spring), it was refreshing. \n\nWe'll be back to explore other menu items soon! nice little place for a few friends to dine. recommend their scallop tempura dynamite roll and dragon roll. will come back This place was unreal! Great prices and all you can eat!!!! Great people too:) \n10/10 would recommend\nExcellent service!!!! Very prompt and fast The mango roll was very good!! This cozy place in Kensington has a good sushi, and a very friendly service... I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it... |

Pancakes were alright, but certainly a generous portion for the price. Service was great. Plenty of smiles, not so much English, but that's fine for me in a place like this. Warm atmosphere inside with rather ordinary seating, and the focus is clearly on the food. Don't be scared by the outside appearance. Worst restaurant ever discussing there was a fly on my food i will post pictures\n\n\nAsqueroso encontr\xc3\xa9 una mosca en el caldo No stars for the service, the food prices and soda refill charge. ( I mean, come on it's soda) and 2 1/2 for food taste and portions. \nServers are not knowledgeable about menu items and food. We order Jamaica, they didn't have it. I ordered menudo with corn tortilla, they didn't have them either. Settled with bread ($6.85) n my husband chimichanga ($7.50) which it was tasty and huge (great!) \nEnded sharing 1 soda ($2.50ish) and a water. \nYou can tell they are always changing prices on menu because they hand write prices on top of old ones. \nDifferent servers came never the same one. \nNo toilet paper in bathroom only hand towels. \nCheck came out to $21.50ish...mmm I did the math and both plates n a soda didn't added up to that amount unless they charged water or tip?\nNo itemized receipt, it only showed total. Maybe tax is high nowadays. \nI really loved the menudo taste tho! No fatty chunks or bones. Just the nice tasty meat! Loved how they give u equal amounts of cilantro and onion. Other places give u tons of onion n few cilantro leaves. What an awesome place with excellent food. My girlfriend introduced me to the restaurant. I enjoy eating the chile rellenos they are delicious!!!! My husband enjoys eating the sopes they are outstanding definitely worth the prices which are verrrry reasonable. The mural on the wall was absolutely beautiful. The servers always attentive. My son enjoyed the green chile burrito. Will for sure make more visits. Highly recommended!!! |

I was disappointed at their selection, especially the bao. The woman working was super friendly. I left with a ton of dumplings and sesame balls, which were outstanding. Cute spot with a disappointing dearth of vegetarian options. Tried a radish dumpling and a 4 mushroom dumpling which were both tasty. I didn't see a brown sauce or soy sauce handy so I grabbed a packet of plum sauce and one if hot sauce. The hot sauce was actually hot.\n\nThe place is all take out with two small tables on the curb. Bottled teas and other drinks in self-serve fridges.\n\nSpecial today was duck with rice and veggies. Didn't see any bao and the wall had about 5 menu options. Not exactly sure what is going on here. \n\nOwners were very nice and interested in what we thought of the food. \n\nIf you eat meat, I'm sure it's perfectly lovely. 4 dim sum pieces for $5 or a get 6 with rice and veggies for $10. I was excited to see a dim sum place in the neighbourhood since it's getting harder and harder for me to travel out to Chinatown, Markham or Scarborough to get the good stuff.\n\nI decided to grab something for lunch and after surveying what was available on their hot table, I ordered the lunch special - 6 pieces of dim sum, plus a spring roll and fried rice for $10. I chose 2 each of the har gow, sui mai and chive dumplings. \n\nI asked about the spring roll and was told that they weren't ready yet. I was offered a substitution of my choice but when I requested an egg tart, I was gruffly denied! I disappointedly selected another chive dumpling. \n\nThe dim sum itself was quite tasty. Generous sized pieces that were fresh and not overly salty. Fried rice was simple but fine. \n\nI found it a bit overpriced...I mean for $10 at a Chinese restaurant or even T&T, I could have gotten more dumplings and food. My dad would have swatted me in the head with a rolled up Sing Tao if he knew what I paid for that lunch!\n\nIf that Nations Supermarket ever opens up in the Stockyards, I'll be heading there for my dim sum! Wish there is a negative 5 stars option!\n\nBasically I bought a Groupon and went to this place on a Sunday. We were seated and presented with a menu. However, when we tried to order the items from the menu, none of them was available (we tried with 5 different items already). Then the waitress, who may also be the owner, told us that they were participating in the Bloor Festival today, so most of the regular menu items were not available, we could only order the food that they prepared as part of the festival. All these food items were put out in front of the restaurant on the street (please see attached picture), they looked very un-fresh, and must be exposed to the heat for the entire day already. We also saw flies on some of the food. The waitress/owner told us alternatively, we could order the roasted duck and the Singapore style fried noodle, which were the only two items available on the menu. Although these were not the food that we wanted, I thought we could just order the roasted duck plus a small appetizer, so I asked if they had any appetizer that is about $5 to $6. She rudely responded "of course NO, are you kidding me?! We don\'t have anything that\'s $5". I asked so how about the stuffed eggplant, which they had on the menu for $5.99. She said "I told you already, these items on the menu are not available. But we have the eggplant and tofu skewer for $12 (which was one of the food items put outside of the restaurant.) These "street food" doesn\'t have a price list, so basically it\'s whatever price that they wanted to charge. The waitress/owner then turned around, speaking in Cantonese to another staff, saying that "Can you believe that?! These two people are so cheap! All they wanted are food for $5!"\n\nMe and my friend both understand Cantonese and we felt this was extremely insulting, so we left the restaurant immediately. \n\nI raised this with Groupon and they refunded me on this Groupon. I highly recommend their roasted duck: fresh, juicy, perfect! \nOwners are very friendly.\nI will definitely re order the duck and try more items. |

Best Chinese delivery in Medina. They did have difficulty with my last order... I wanted one white rice and another pork fried rice... but they sent me pork fried rice and chicken fried rice instead! But it wasn't a deal breaker by any means. We love this place. We order at least once a week and typically have it delivered. It's always hot and the food is delicious. \n\nWe have a family of four which includes two grown boys. We order quite a variety of dishes. I'm not a big fan of the bone in ribs but will try the boneless soon. Love the egg rolls. Wonton egg drop soup is the best I've had. Thai noodle and Singapore noodles are two family faves. Love the general Tso's and lo mein. Took the family to Asian Grill for dinner and we ordered the food to go since there really wasn't a dining room to speak of. I ordered mushroom chicken with a side of fried rice and an egg roll. The others in my group ordered a bunch of food, so it took about 20 minutes to make.\n\nOnce we got home, we were missing an egg roll, but they gave us extra fried rice, so we weren't upset. The food was pretty good. I devoured my mushroom chicken and tasted my son's orange chicken. My favorite item was the fried rice.\n\nIn comparison to other Chinese food I've had, Asian Grill is about average. There are still other joints that I need to sample, however. Pretty good Chinese food. From Philadelphia and expect all Chinese to taste the same. This is pretty similar but when ordering spicy, you make want to really emphasize that because I have yet to have anything spicy even though I ask each time. Delivery took a while, but I can understand. Food was really good for delivery entry's. Great family's special value price. Must have patience with whoever is answering phones and taking orders, can be a little difficult placing one but worth it at the end. |

The bartender is friendly and gave me an extra lime and a cherry in my drink... it's the little things in life! Food is excellent and a great value, get the nachos. Very yummy. I also love the music here. Give it a whirl. Pros: 1.) 24" TVs at each booth that can be tuned to the game you want to watch. 2.) The burger was fantastic, as were the onion rings. The bun was nice and soft, and ironically, zero condiments were needed! \n\nCons: 1.) Loud. Like, really loud. Unnecessarily loud. 2.) For the number of people that are here, about 20, it took about 25 mins for our food to come out. Not really sure what the deal was, unless our server forgot to put the order in?!? 3.) Service was a solid 3 stars. She was the only server for the whole bar, so I guess she did ok. However, if I were working 10 tables, I probably would not have taken the double shot that a patron bought for her. It def affected her pace. Just one little girls opinion though... \n\nThere was an interesting crowd here. Not sure what else to say about that. Just not the a stage "sports bar" crowd, but then again, maybe it is for this place. \n\nThe food was great, but unfortunately, the cons outweighed here... I don\'t think I\'ll be back. This place rocks! We were immediately greeted by friendly staff with the drink and food specials. Great place to watch a game, lots of TVs...we sat in a booth across from the bar and each booth even has its own personal TV where the server can put your game of choice on via his handy little ipad! \nIn the back there are games! Pool , hoop shooting (my fav) and golden T (the bfs fav).\nOur server Darnell wore a shirt that said "keep it 100" ...truth bomb. Someone from here reached out to my dinner group about having an event here. \n\nThe place is in the front of an office park across from Carowinds. It is a bar with lots of TVs and a couple of pool tables in the back. Each of the booths has its own TV.\n\nWhen I arrived, I mentioned to the bartender that I was with a dinner group and she had no idea we were going to be there. Nice to see this was coordinated so well....\n\nThe place is not suitable for a large dinner group with only the bar, a few booths and about 5 bar tables. Thankfully we had a couple of cancellations and were able to pull the bar tables together. \n\nFor food, I tried the fried pickles which are described as "A southern favorite with a little bite". These were actually some of the worst fried pickles I\'ve ever had. They were pickle spears cut into chunks and dipped in bread crumbs. There was no bite to them other than the pickle flavor and the temperature. \n\nThen I had the rueben which was recommended by the bartender. Worst Reuben I\'ve ever had. It was on pumpernickel bread. There was little sauerkraut and it was smothered in thousand island dressing. \n\nI was trying to figure out what another review was referring to in craft brews. For drafts they only had 3....PBR, Blue Moon and Sweetwater. Maybe the bottled selection was better.\n\nThe only reason I could see coming back here is to watch a game or to play a game of pool. Stay away from the food unless you\'ve had a few. I actually love this place. The food is regular bar food, the drinks are strong and fairly priced. There is something about the atmosphere I love - it's a charming hold in the wall :) |

They have a nice draft beer selection, and a nice outdoor patio. Bands on weekends, NFL football on Sunday. Sundays they have a nice buffet to enjoy while you watch the games. We met some nice folks here and had a really good time when they had a Wicked Weed tap takeover. Cute place. Definitely a local feel which I love. Actually, this place is pretty sizable which was a surprise. The parking lot is shared with a gas station. They have darts and pool. Bar seating, tall tables, a comfy nook with cushy chairs and a large outside area. \n\nWe love beer and although they have bout 12 on tap, they only had 2 local brews. Would love to see at least one with a little higher octane. However, the locals that frequent I'm sure are happy with the selection. \n\nMissy runs a tight ship and is able to handle a full bar, a few occupied tables and a sizeable group outside. Mixed drinks as well so it caters to all. Price was high for the local brews, probably are exempt from happy hour. A person ordered a bud light and it was a $1.50. Oh well Never will I ever go to this place again. Terrible customer service, management is even worse. Bad experience. It's a great place to hang out and have a drink. Also a good atmosphere to get to know your new neighbors around the area Love this place!! Come here all the time and love the friendly atmosphere, regulars (there's a lot of them lol), and bartenders. By the third time in the door you're considered a regular, and don't be surprised if they remember your name. I have noticed they do run a pretty tight ship, and have no problem asking people causing problems to leave and not return. I feel it makes for a more enjoyable experience when management actually manages for a change. |

Out of the hustle and bustle, but, easy to get to. Every time we go, the crew at the Den are friendly and sincerely want us to enjoy ourselves. Good food. Good people. Nice room. They close in August for holidays, so we're going to have to visit a few times before then.\nSome of the staff moved on and when they reopened after the summer break, the service had declined significantly and the food had lost its flair. This restaurant has since closed. I kept hearing how spectacular their Sunday brunch was, so my wife and I made reservations and went on a sunny Sunday morning. What a disappointment! \nThey had a pretty standard buffet that had bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage and hashbrowns, along with some other dishes such as grilled vegetables, chicken wings, meat and cheese plate, etc. None of their standard buffet items were overly tasty, but I still had hope because I heard about, and was waiting for, their specialty a la carte items. They bring these a la carte items out separately and go from table with them; this included the eggs benedict, which I had high hopes for. To me a sign of a good chef is how they make an eggs benedict. When they finally came, the eggs were basically hard boiled sitting on a slice of ham that was the size of a thin postage stamp with a dab of bland hollandaise on a dry english muffin. That was the last straw we asked for the bill and left. When they asked if we enjoyed it, I was honest and expressed my disappointment. It didn't seem to matter, they made us pay and we left...never to return. \nThe buffet was almost $30.00 a person, so I was expecting a little bit better than a glorified hotel buffet brunch. For this kind of money I'd rather spend it at The Banff Springs brunch. Bears Den give the feeling of Midwest Cowboys days the decor is just awesome in this place. If you are there I suggest you walk through the entire place checking out the walls. The owner of this restaurant really takes pride of ownership to heart. This Resturant has the rustic Midwest feel and look when inside its kind of like a small Castle tall ceiling high walls. \nYou can tell from the gate outside to the sign, the doors as you walk in its just all around impressive high end luxury restaurant. The decor will make you think only meats. But you are in for more than just a surprise. I bring clients and family here often and they never disappoint. \nYou will always get great food here. Top quality beef, choices of seafood, and sometime game meats. with fresh vegetables.. Deserts are nicely done as well. If you save room.\nI had ordered game meats before such as Elk, Bison and, venison it was cooked rare to perfection with just the right flavour of sauce to compliment the meat. Presentation was very nice and clean. The smell of the meats as you cut it is just mouth watering. \nI had sea bass and salmon and I aways order it medium as I alway want to preserve the original flavour and juices of the meat. It's was also nicely done and presented. Went there with my boyfriend on Saturday and the food was okay, nothing super spectacular. \n\nAfter we ate each course they congratulated us on finishing... Not sure what they were expecting us of, felt a bit like a child in class.\n\nWhen the dessert menu came we looked at it and made our choice of the lemon strawberry tart (a little too sweet). The waitress came back and assumed that we weren\'t having any because we\'d closed the menus. I would think that the response would have been "So did you find anything that ticked your fancy" or something along those lines. \n\nWhen we arrived for our reservations at 6pm they were playing the music pretty loud. And not really the kind of music one would expect from that kind of restaurant (i.e. Barenaked Ladies).\n\nThe service was good, not 100% sure if we\'ll be going back. It sounds like most people go there for special occasions, but I\'m not sure I\'d pick there for a special dinner. Bear\'s Den recently added brunch to their offerings. I have never been to Bear\'s Den before so this review is strictly based on my brunching experience.\n\nFirst of all, despite the name, no bears. I was worried because this place is like an HOUR from my house, or as I like to say, where the wild things live. The absence of bears was appreciated. Decor is nice, but kind of reminds me of a place where men go to smoke cigars and drink scotch and women aren\'t admitted because of some dumb rule from the 50\'s or something.\n\nThe buffet was rather anemic and reminded me of a garage sale when all the good stuff is gone. We were all surprised at the lack of options and the fact that they were not refreshing any of the food. (Later we were told it\'s because our reso was so late - it was dead when we arrived but we when we made our reso we were told they were packed until 1pm.)\n\nWe got back to the table and made jokes about turning this into a liquid brunch when our server started coming around with hot food from the kitchen - eggs bennies, bison skewers, spring rolls, all sorts of delights. Everything she brought around was MILES ahead of the sad spread that we picked through looking for any last morsel of food.\n\nIf you\'ve read my review on Crack Bun, you know I like a good cinnamon bun. The warm cinnamon buns she brought around were fresh from the oven, dripping in gooey sugary, cinnamon-y deliciousness. I un-apologetically had two of them (what if I got stuck in the wilderness, far from my house, I would need the sustenance) and wished I had brought a container to smuggle some home with me.\n\nBottom line - go early, don\'t fill your plate at the "buffet", ask for the cinnamon buns, and make sure the pants you wear are stretchy at the waist. If you do these things I feel confident you will best my 3 star experience by at least 1 full star. |

The pasta bar was a neat idea but lacked some variety in the selection. No chicken, spinach, or pesto.

My husband took me here for lunch one day. We went in and grabbed a table immediately, then went over to build our meals at the pasta bar. I got shrimp, sausage, garlic, onions, and mushrooms in my pasta with rose sauce. I had never been here before and I didn't know exactly how everything worked, but they were very patient with me and suggested various ways to put my meal together. It was absolutely delicious and filled me up! The meals were about $11-$12/person, which is completely reasonable for the quick helpful service and the huge portions. Love this place and can't wait to go back! Des p\xc3\xa2tes faite comme vous les aimer. 14$ pour une grande assiette avec les l\xc3\xa9gumes, viandes, sauce et p\xc3\xa2te de votre choix, avec pain inclus, Je trouve que c'est un bon prix.

Food is good, beer is fine. Lots of TVs. I've done happy hour and dinner and service is always solid and restrooms are clean. Solid 4 stars. Great burgers, love prime rib night, and their $8 burger and beer deal is awesome! Tons of TVs to watch the game and friendly service. * reading now for 1st time..sorry ton of spelling mistakes..blame the Samsung ..kidding *\n\nTake note... Have to leave a star so that is why it is not a NO star *\n\nIn summary, I "just" closed on a home at American Title..a few doors down. Timing was perfect, sign while we dropped off a couple watches at the Jeweler to get serviced, enjoy some lunch and a couple drinks to celebrate our new home purchase up the road a bit. Walked in at about 2:00 pm, had a few beers, lunch and watched some mid day pets on tv..... All was great..wife called and said 1 watch needed to be picked up tomorrow...not a big deal, she was with friends so I\'m said they should go about the plans they had, I would gladly have more drinks and hang out until they were back this way or cab back to Hotel.\n\nSo that people know I am not making this up, my tab is sitting here at my table time stamped 4:31 pm,signed, tip included so you know that is not the reason for crap service...phone App calculated this to be a 26% tip on 3 beers and a plate of food...it is now 6:51 pm and yes, still there. Bartender asked I "tab out" since he is leaving....of course, anyone would and I did, he never picked it up but that is fine....granted there were 2 other patrons the whole time I was there for the 1st server so service should be good and it was livery good.\n\nI have sat here over 2 hours 2 tables away from the Hostess stand so to speak and my other 3 glasses were taken away without a glance at the table or anything....not that I need that ...how did I get the 3 drinks? I went to the bar, ordered and brought back myself, paid individually, gave a $2.75 tip on each beer so am not being a d-head. The staff is congregating at the stand and the table between me and the stand..umm hello, someone see the leather folder that contains EVERY bill at the bar????\n\nIn summary, the service does not rate as there is none.... Even the bartender pouring the beers can see a walk up to her bar is 1 person and not like anybody else in this place....so you make the call, a fluke or just crap service? Not that they would know I am a new homeowner nearby soon or some other ragged man ordering a water or draft beer but wake up people....as I have been writing this, a lady behind me came up and said they have laughed at the service for me over a few rounds as I am sitting here quietly and they have borrowed a couple chairs and the server walks by and does not even acknowledge my table... it is 2 1/2 feet away???\n\nPositive things? My wife and her sisters are doing they\'re own thing,,...some peace and quiet for me....and now a beer bought by the table behind me, delivered by the server that has to move awkwardly to avoid the chair setup behind me....sets it on my table and says " on the table behind me and their tab." \n\nMaybe tomorrow I will find out I know the owner and they did this on purpose as a joke???? It is now 7:09 p.m and over 2 1/2 hours since tab thrived and paid...sucks...\n\nPs, yes, I am a slow typer, drinking my beers and sharing with customers behind me of this fiasco.....sigh... The best place in Mesa to get a pint! Friendly service, good food, excellent atmosphere. Highly recommend!!! We have always enjoyed the occasional dinning experience at O'Neill's Place. However, last night's experience was disappointing at best. My Reuben sandwich was on the cold side of warm and contained a sparse quantity of meat. \n\nOur other dish, the Captains Platter came with the deep fried fish and shrimp extremely over cooked to the point that only a few bites were able to be eaten. Perhaps it was and off-night for the kitchen staff? \n\nOur server was very pleasant while Paul the owner seemed to be irritated that he was there. |

Where? Oh here... \nAND... The piece de resistance the *St-Viateur* bagel!!!\nWhich was AT LEAST 6 days old (when confronted about it the "manager" said "the bagels are always fresh, we get them every 2 to 3 days" translation: we "fresh freeze them"\n\nHaving lived 1 corner away from St-Viateur for 15 years and having eaten about 1000 of them FRESH, the ones they serve here are at least 3 to 6 days old kept in plastic in the fridge...\n\nAnd oh yeah...my friend ate the same thing and both of our bagels were stale AND BURNT!!!\n\nWe left without paying, we will never be back.\nI wonder if the owners are as "inventive" in every other department as they are with the name of the resto...Kitchen no73 in London ring a bell?\n\nIf I were you I would go elsewhere... I've been to this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times was for breakfast Saturday morning with my buddy. The food and atmosphere is very good, but the service is terrible. It takes forever to get a coffee. It's breakfast and people want coffee, it should not be a struggle to bring two cups. Last time we were there I flagged down, what seemed to be, the manager and asked if we could get coffee. He was useless. All he had to do was grab a pot and fill the cups that are already on the table. Instead he took off to go look for our server and disappeared. Thanks for nothing.\nIf you can get passed the inefficient service this place is fine...but I'll be spending money elsewhere. Great place with lots of options and big portions. Good choices for kids and not expensive. Even washrooms are clean. You should give it a try. I don't know if y'all follow my reviews but I like food and I'm picky about food so that makes for some pretty high standards. K73 meets and exceeds those standards. \n\nLet me start out by saying the service is phenomenal. We showed up at 9:58 for 10am reservations and our table was ready and we were seated promptly. Right away we were asked if we wanted coffee and let me tell you, the best iced coffee in Montreal/Laval. Not too sweet and not too bitter. It was perfect. Can't comment on the regular coffee since I didn't have it but it smelled nice.\n\nTheir menu is breakfast with a twist. It isn't your standard bacon and eggs (although they have it too). Their menu has all kinds of deliciousness. As a person dining with a little human I loved that they served my daughter first. It let my husband and I enjoy our meal in peace! They also provided her with crayons and paper for drawing in. Total win there! \n\nFor our meals we choose a waffle eggs Benedict with short braised rib. Holy mother of god! I had the same meal in Vermont and it sucked there, rocked here. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. It was a hearty meal. \n\nI, as a picky eater, had the bacon eggs and sausage. I like the fact that their potatoes aren't mashed up. Maybe it's the American in me but I like home fries, not mashed potatoes. Not only that but these were saut\xc3\xa9ed in chives and sprinkled with parm cheese! Potatoes and cheese? Yes please! \n\nWill I be back? For sure. I found a new favorite breakfast place in Laval. Close to home, great food, nice decor and a friendly staff! See y'all soon! |

I had the peppered calamari as a starter and the Kung Pao Chicken. Difficult to find but this 'hole in the wall' restaurant serves some terrific dishes esp soups (bird nest soup, hot & sour), seasonal crab & lobster dishes, and 88 menu items all much cheaper and tastier than at high priced casinos. Quite a history here too! Food taste like plastic! We were the only ones there. Never again! I recommend not going. Talk about a Hidden Gem not far from the strip and close to the mall.\nWhen you see the outside you wonder how in the world could this place be any good especially attached to a Bar! Once inside you would never know a bar was next door, it is always quiet there.\n It is off the beaten path and it is on Industrial Road where you would not expect good Chinese Restaurant! It is a hole in the wall for sure with good food!\nWe have been eating here for years. Always good!! Consistent too!\nI love the fried rice, Hot and Sour soup is the best in town! Hard to beat these 2 anywhere.\nAs well as the Egg Foo Young! No other Chinese restaurant comes close to how good theirs is! The spicy pork is amazing too! The flavors are amazing! The prices not bad either!\nTry this place for yourself because none of these bad reviews make any sense when this place has been so good for so long.\nI am not big on Chinese food but this place makes me crave their food it is so good! |

Born and raised in Germany with lots of experience in Toronto. \n\nMonique (our waitress and bartender) and Jake were so nice and offered us their honesty. We asked about their food and drinks they helped us decide what to get. \n\nDrinks:\nSo I mentioned BONESHAKER which is one of my favourite craft beers and Jake has it on tap! They have a large variety of beers and wines and a cider and a raddler. Jake knows his beers and mentioned he wanted to make Jake\'s a haven for craft beer drinkers which I\'m totally in for.\n\nFood:\nThey have a great menu that specializes in steaks and seafood. Check out their site.\nI tried their Chicken Cordon Bleu with garlic bread, grilled veggies and sweet potato fries. The fries with chipotle were on par with most other sweet potato fries. Grilled veggies were good and so was the bread. The chicken was stuffed with a slice of ham and cheese, breaded and smothered with the chef\'s mushroom - wine gravy/reduction. It was slightly too salty and was on the small side (4oz-6oz). Jake asked me what I thought and I told him 7.75/10.\n\nThis place is a great new spot in Richmond Hill and it will hopefully open up some mouths to the craft beer scene. Once you taste the complexity craft beer can bring vs. your regulars, I\'m sure you\'ll not want to go back. \n\nGrab the yelp deal and try it! I have been to Jake's Bistro + Bar a few times and I've never been disappointed.. The food is always outstanding, filling and definitely worth the good price! I would recommend it to anyone living in the area! The service is also excellent! Take a look at some of the food I have eaten there :) Service was very good and friendly. \n\nUnfortunately, food wise, this was one of the worst meals I\'ve had in a long time. It almost seems like their kitchen staff don\'t even have the basic fundamentals of cooking. \n\nFettuccine Alfredo\nFettuccine was over cooked and mushy. Alfredo sauce was watery and bland to the point where it was questionable whether the chef forgot the seasoning...\n\nFrench onion soup\nOnions were undercooked and crunchy? \n\nMonstrosity Burger\nFor a restaurant that talks so much about their burgers and even has a separate section on their menu just for burgers this was the most disappointing. I can\'t believe a restaurant that does all this and has the audacity to charge $17 for this burger serves rubbery FROZEN patties! They do not even stack the burger properly. They put the lettuce and tomato between the bottom bun and the patty. This takes away from the mouth feel and the juice of the patty hitting your tongue first. It can be argued that they put the lettuce on the bottom to protect the bottom bun from being soggy but you totally fail at this once you put the tomato on the bottom. The bottom bun disintegrated and the whole thing turned into a mushy mess. \n\nOnion rings\nBest thing I tasted on the menu. However they were inconsistent. Some were perfectly thick and juicy yet others were thin and stringy. The onion was not sliced uniformly! Another example of how their food prep doesn\'t really stack up to "restaurant" quality. The onion rings really summed up the overall experience. Eating here was akin to going over to dinner at a friend\'s house who cooks a few things decently but does not have classic training or experience in a real kitchen. Which is ironic with their claims that their executive chef worked multiple years at the Octagon. We live in the area and have seen this location turn over many times over the years. We like to support local restaurants and thought we would give this place a try. We came in at lunch and their $7 lunch special. I tried their wings and my wife had their chicken wrap. \n\nThe wrap was very blah, the chipotle sauce was ok, but the chicken was barely tasteable. \n\nThe wings were quite good though, sweet chilli sauce was great, much better than our order at All Star last week. There were quite a few wings, more than a single order would give you at most places.\n\nWe tried the waffle fries as well which were pretty good as well.\n\nDefinitely nice to see a good selection of beer on tap, esp craft beer. \n\nThe owner was hyping up the steaks, so I will give that a try next time. Seems like the food is all made from scratch, so I will give them a shot at my next visit. Must have their steaks with waffle cut fries! Love it!!\n\nAlso King of the Hill Burger is very good too!!\n\nFriendly services, Nice environment. Would come again! |

I paid my 25 dollar tab with a 20 dollar gift card and a 20 dollar bill, and he kept my cash and gave me the 15 dollar remainder on a the gift card. When I asked him why he did that, he said it was too late to fix the transaction. Dumb. Good beer selection and great pizza. Love their wings. Best in the hood and better than the other joints around Highland Creek. Much to choose from their menu. Great bar area and good place to watch sports. Great Highland Creek neighborhood bar. Hawthorne has a good reputation in Charlotte. This place is great. My family and I frequently dine here. The pizza is so good and the dishes are stupendous. I've had a few of the pasta dishes, the calamari, onion rings and fried jalape\xc3\xb1o and a few of the salads. The garlic knots are fresh, delicious and swimming in garlic and oil, just like I like them. Recently I had their buffalo chicken salad with grilled chicken and ranch dressing and I almost licked the plate. That's how amazing that buffalo sauce was! It was tangy and spicy and everything you'd want in a buffalo sauce and more. The food here is just so good! I live near Hawthorne's so I've had a chance to go several times. It's a good place to grab something to eat, but I'm not in love with anything on the menu. I love that they have a lot of TVs, if you're looking for a place to watch a game. The staff is very friendly. Good menu, reasonably priced. A couple of good selections, as far as wine (but check the freshness)\nOut in the middle of nowhere with lots of construction. Forget the GPS for now |

Decent beer selection, and friendly staff. Lots of options outside the hotel, but this place is handy when your to tired to venture out. Bartenders are attentive, accommodating, as well as capable. Pleasent surprise! Had my first pierogi here today. Very tasty! Chicken florentine soup extremely good. Now going to dive into this Barbecue Chicken Pizza. Stayed in the hotel for dinner because I was tired and wanted to get work done. Should have gone out. Ordered hummus appetizer and a salad with grilled salmon. Anything but quick. Appetizer took a long time, then the salad took even longer. Hummus was grainy and not very tasty, though the presentation and the pita with roasted peppers was Ok. When the salad got there the salmon was over cooked, as in smelling burnt and dried out all through. Wasn't crowded so no excuse there. \nWait staff was nice, so there's a star.\nWith some nice places so close to the hotel, just walk down the street. Worst experience I've had at a hotel restaurant or bar. The bar tender was the only one working during happy hour and made comments loud enough so that everyone in the bar could hear about being the only one that works there and threw his managers under the bus too. The manager then came out and was just as rude as she could be so I took my food to go. My overly priced food was horrible to the point where my family and I couldn't eat it and honestly wouldn't if it was free which it was way overpriced. Example...capresie salad sandwich was on a hamburger bun and looked like it was made last week, cod sandwich barely done, wings very soggy. I'll not be staying here ever again!!! Visiting the city, we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in which the restaurant is located. They have a happy hour with drink and appetizer specials 5-7. We had steak quesadilla, bourbon wings, and fries. Delish!!!! Very impressed by quality and taste. Add the hot tea and a beer... cost during happy hr was $22. |

Sad and dismal letdown both in food and in service.\nI was on a hop out to LA and had a bit of time to kill.\nFood was a great idea as the stomach was empty and my reserve light was on. That could only mean i had a one hr max to find fuel or shut the engine down.\nEnter... the 12th fairway. Wow... it looked good from the outside.\nHad a golf feel to it. Sure, why not... thought the man who was desperate.\n\nWell, I should have focused on the NOT and I do heavily emphasize the WHY!\n\nThe sandwich was dismal and service even worse. Never have i had a burger that limp, downtrodden or beaten up. The onion rings were more like overcooked batter. \n\nNext time, i'm shutting down the motor faced with the same choice of hunger pangs or 12th fairway. Now i know why they invented Snickers. Most boring club sandwich I've ever had the privilege to consume. It was constructed of cold cuts, and pieces of iceberg lettuce and bacon so small that it took some skill to keep them INSIDE the sandwich as I was eating it. The waiter's unkempt, rather greasy appearance made me wonder about the cleanliness of the food preparation. Next time I'll go to Fox Sports Grill. Came in to get a drink and a snack while on a hour and a half layover. I ordered a grey goose salty dog and a crab cake appetizer. When my drink came it was a perfect drink; cold, tasty, well mixed and rather large. Man, I thought I was at the right place. When my crabcake came out it was a sandwich not the appetizer i had ordered. I thought, oh well, have another drink and make do. I ordered another drink and ate the crabcake. The crabcake was nothing exceptional after all it was airport bar food. I drank my second drink and asked for the bill. When my waitress presented the bill it was $47 for 2 called drinks and a crabcake. Wait a second...$47...even at airport prices this seemed over the top. I looked at the bill again and those tasty and large Salty Dogs were actually billed as doubles $17 a piece. I never asked for a double nor did she say anything about a double but, she sure stuck me on my bill for doubles. As my flight was soon to be boarding I had no time to dispute the bill. I paid the freight and reminded myself to not step foot in this establishment again. Fairway bar and grill except there is no grill just cold cut sandwiches and $8.19 draft beer. But the beer was my fault because the price isn't on the menu and I didn't ask. Not sure what all the bad reviews here are about. We had good service, tasty food and giant beers and it was great. I love the atmosphere with the GIANT pictures of the green grassy golf courses and AZ mountains in the background. Gorgeous. Definitely a good way to promote some of the best things in AZ. My only complaint would be the price. But of course, that's EVERY restaurant in an airport unless you get Burger King or something. This burger and fries here was more expensive but worth it in my opinion. |

The order delivered by the local store was wrong (a pepperoni pizza rather than the jalapeno and pineapple ordered). My mom is a vegetarian and this disgusted her. The driver delivered the wrong pizza, (the restaurant manager requested that my mom return the pizza, which she did untouched) it took nearly 2 hours to obtain the right pizza (which was cold by this point in time) the driver on top of that falsified a tip amount and passed it through on my credit card charges. The manager was polite, although not apologetic but this store is a place I'll never order from again and I might personally boycott the brand as well.This was unacceptable service with theft added to the mix. Pizza hut can hire better delivery drivers than incompetent thieves. I was a Pizza Hut delivery driver in college and it was one of the best jobs I've ever had. You drive around, listen to music and deliver pizza, how difficult can that be? I don't have an issue with their food. I do however have a problem with living -10 minutes away and no matter what time you place your order it's still a 45 minute- 1 hour delivery!! They charge for delivery and still want you to tip the driver.. but the sucky time restrains are to damn crazy WORST PIZZA HUT EVER!!! Will never order from here again, last night was the final straw. Over the course of almost 3 years, this place has gotten worse and worse. We have gotten more account credits than I can count from crappy delivery experiences. Pizza is cold, orders are wrong and take HOURS longer than supposed to. Can take up to 2 and a half hours to receive pizza (that is COLD) and the store is less than a mile from me. Always have to reheat it in the oven. The only reason we ordered from here last night was to use up a credit we had but now NEVER AGAIN! Rude manager who argues with you, employees are total morons who can't even speak an audible or logical sentence over the phone. My toddler could answer the phone better. DOMINOS FROM NOW ON!! Wish this thing allowed to give ZERO stars!!! We have gone to this Pizza Hut in the past and were not satisfied with the service. When we first moved to our house, this location and the one at Lawyers & Margaret Wallace both argued as to which location was supposed to deliver to us! We didn't feel like leaving the house last night and decided to give them another chance. They were 20 minutes late, the pizza and wings were cold, and the customer service was terrible! I will not be ordering from this place again. I am really surprised this location has been in business as long as it has. Party of One deal keeps getting more expensive. Salad tastes like it was bought from Food Lion.\n\nPizza is what you'd expect. |

I'd agree with the comments that say that Five Guys has one of the best fast food burgers in existence ... except for the fact that one of the burgers I bought recently had an actual piece of bone in it. I bit down on this, badly cracking a tooth in the process. Two months and multiple dental procedures later, I'm feeling much better, but this wasn't the way I wanted to spend my Christmas season.\n\nMaybe this was a fluke -- I've never experienced this at any of the other Five Guys I've been to -- but it was certainly enough to make sure that I will never come back to this place again. I've been here dozens of times over the past few years. This place is good, but it has a few annoying qualities.\n\nPros:\n\nThe food is delicious. The prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and efficient. Also, the free peanuts are a plus.\n\nCons:\n\nThe buns at this location taste weird. I've eaten at other Five Guys locations and the buns at this one just plain taste weird. I don't know why.\n\nThe tables are dirty. I don't like sitting down to a table smeared with someone else's cheeseburger-grease. This, plus the loud crappy music being blasted, means I'm not taking anyone here for a date, or on any kind of business lunch.\n\nIt's dumb that they serve all hamburgers in a brown paper bag. I know it's probably part of some silly tradition, but the bag means that the tables get messy because you have to rip open the bag and grease goes everywhere. Also, the fries and bun get soggy inside the bag. Note: this does not happen on a McDonald's tray.\n\nIf the restaurant would change its dumb, backwards policy of serving all food in ghetto paper bags and the workers would wipe down the tables more than once a year, this place would be a five-star restaurant, easy. I love this location -- everyone is super friendly and the food is always done fast and to the way that 5 guys wanted done. the fries are excellent. I especially like how you can get no bun and get it in a boat or a lettuce wrap...also, all the free toppings are excellent too - and always very fresh. Will be my go-to burger place. Fyi - was good on Grub Hub too... BEWARE. DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM HERE THROUGH UBER EATS. I also would recommend not frequenting this restaurant due to the fact that they don't care that Uber eats is not a good service provider. |

Green curry shrimp is my favorite but looking around it all looks awesome! 3.5 stars actually...\nA nice place if you are on the go. Their Combo menu is value for money, as they offer 3-course meals for around 10 $ . The portions are decent, but they add curry over rice, instead of giving them separately. The flavour of food is really good, but the spice level is not standard, we ordered 3 meals- green curry, chicken red curry, and pad thai. The first two were fine but later one was burning hot, although we ordered everything medium spicy. I loved their veg. spring rolls, mango salad. My hubby ordered a tom yum soup, it was fine too.\n\nThe drinks : Thai Iced Tea & Bubble Tea were a big no-no!\n\nP.S. It's a small stall with 2-3 tables in the mall. The portions are little compared with the price that you're paying. The food isn't all that authentic or is it really good. If you're looking for a quick fix for Thai food it's alright but it's better if you head to downtown if you want better tasting thai food. Over all it's worth 3 stars since the owner is really nice and willing to explain certain type of dishes. I orders the chicken pad Thai and asked for extra spicy it only came out to be mild for me. Therefore, I can safe to say I won't be coming again unless I'm really in need for Thai food and everything else is closed. had a wonder dinner combo here with wife, both of us really enjoy the food, the place is clean, the price is great, and the husband and wife team owner are super nice and polite, will definitely return to try more, a hidden gem in Richmond Hill and for anyone who likes authentic thai food This restaurant is excellent, I was surprised to have found it a small food court in Markham/Richmond Hill . The owners are very caring and make the food from scratch. I have had the red curry and green curry with chicken, also had one of the soups. Everything is great, the Green curry being my favourite. It can get quite spicy, but you can order it mild if you need to...it tastes better medium though. Prices are very reasonable, cash only, an entr\xc3\xa9e with a spring roll and a small mango salad is $12 I believe |

It is the characters behind the counter that make the experience complete. If you are overly sensitive and are wound around the axle with customer service, you are going to have a bad time. \n\nToo bad this location is closed. They still have the hut over on Lake Near though. I was so excited (and waited ever so impatiently) for this location to open as I love the Lake Mead Pkwy one. But alas, it's just not the same.\n\nSure, the food is technically the same - it's one of the best Chicago dogs in Vegas. But this immaculate strip mall location lacks the charm of the little Lake Mead Pkwy hut.\n\nThere's just something about ordering your hot dog at a walk-up window and eating it outside that adds to the flavor and overall experience.\n\nThe staff at this location, though, are just a nice as the Lake Mead one. They've truly gone above and beyond each time I've eaten here. TERRIFIC CHILI FRIES!!! Not too soggy, they were generous with the chili as well. The dogs are well priced & the service is absolutely genuine. I can't leave without leaving atleast a few dollars in their tip jar. Needless to say, my boyfriend & I will become regulars at this establishment. It's good to see that Hot Dog Heaven's new location is really close to my house, because their Lake Mead location was very difficult to get to. Not to mention it turns people off to go to their small little shack they have there, and it's just too hot. Now, people can go to The Silverado Ranch area and eat in an air conditioned restaurant.\n\nThankfully they seem to have a steady stream of customers who have also discovered the new location. When I went there, I ordered the same thing I get at the other location, the regular hot dog with everything on it, or the Chicago Dog. For around 2 bucks, you can't really beat the price. \n\nI feel bad for Chicago Tasty Dogs now, they will have a hard time competing now that Hot Dog Heaven is just down the street. Marking this place down one star because I picked up just one chili dog here yesterday and it was fairly small for the price, and not that tasty. \n\nStill think that Tommy's chili dog is king. |

The rooms are clean and comfortable. The buffet is actually pretty good. I am not usually a buffet person. We tried Austin's steak which I give 5 stars. The kids have plenty to do from bowling to a movie or the arcade. I would and have recommended friends to the Texas Station. I come to Texas a bit , but not too terribly much! But the way I was treated today when\nI had a descripency was 100% professional and very well done.! A place that will be honest with you when you are playing is a great place to play, and they should be applauded as such...THANK YOU TEXAS, You have my business! Unfriendly service from all the staff. Our room didn't feel clean or welcoming. There weren't enough blankets on the bed--? Just a sheet. There was a dead spider squished to the wall. Texas station along with their palace station its what Circus Circus used to be. You pay a resort fee which in itself is Criminal thats supposed to cover the Internet. Internet is spotty at best no matter how many times you call their Internet provider. The TV remote is outdated by 20 years and is complete nightmare to just look at the TV guide. They had me talk to Engineering (Jose B.) Who didnt have a clue what was on the TV remote. This is the quality of staff here. Management needs to step in quick because your guests aren't as stupid as you treat them. The manager was supposed to call me back over the issues hahahaha they dont give a Rats ass. Nice going Station Casinos. This is strike 3 for you guys. This is my favorite of all the casinos, mainly because there's a lot for me to do here. Great for non-smokers. There are areas and I can go and I can't smell cigarettes at all. |

An Asian buffet. Buffets normally aren't that great anyway....Quantity over Quality. This is the third time I\'ve been here and all I can say is, "WHERE ARE THE CRAB LEGS, SHRIMP/PRAWNS, AND OYSTERS?" It\'s too bad they don\'t have them anymore because I was looking forward to it this last time we went.\n\nMy boyfriend and I went there for his friend\'s son\'s 1 year old birthday party. Who knew people can choose to have their birthdays here. I shouldn\'t be too surprised as anything goes in Vegas. I\'m glad they chose this restaurant. As we entered, there was only smiles to let us know we were welcome. We got to our table where our friends were and immediately we were offered beverages. I decided to get their iced green tea and YUCK! I will never ever ever ever recommend ordering this beverage. The taste was undesirable and it\'s so obvious it was made with powdered green tea. I ended up changing my order to hot green tea. Thank God I changed it.\n\nWhen it was time to get the food, there\'s a buffet of sushi where people can just grab what they want to consume. I decided to go with the sushi selection. I was still impressed with how they prepare their food. Everything tasted great and I\'d definitely go back again. My boyfriend wasn\'t too fond of the food since he\'s not much of a sushi fan. Luckily, there was a selection for him; fried noodles, fried rice, beef, chicken, salad, etc. \n\nI just wish they had the oysters and shellfish. That would\'ve been awesome! I've had better. I come from the Bay Area where Asian buffets come a dime a dozen. My BF raved about this place and being a sushi lover, I of course had to try it!\nWe went for lunch after doing some shopping and we were seated very quickly. Selection wasn't as good as I had hoped for and they didn't have signs listing what kind of sushi you were eating so you were in the dark. The beef terriyaki was good and I ended up eating mostly that.\nSo why the 2 stars? Why not 3? Because my stomach was not happy - AT ALL - an hour after we left. Great for lunch...all u can eat...15.99 on weekdays and 16.99 on the weekend W/ kalbi ribs... |

We looked over the menu and waited for a server. There were lots passing by in their brightly colored tie dyes! My husband was able to flip flop on his dinner decision 6 times while waiting for someone to stop. After 15 minutes we left. No one stopped. Maybe next time, Joe. Great atmosphere, great service. I had a new waitress today, Tanya. She was all smiles and put everyone in a great mood. The food was good. I miss the ild Barbecue flavor :( It was amazingvwith The Crab Daddy Special or just the Dungenous Crab. I'd recomend The Great Balls Of Fire for an apatizer. Yum! Food horrible, server sucked, didn't bring napkins or silverware. Food is better at long john silvers I got sick and the lady at the front desk was so rude. I wouldn't go back. Eh, part of me thinks that if Joe's Crab Shack's prices weren't so out-of-line, I'd enjoy them more.\n\nKay wanted to come here so badly, it was killing her, a craving for crab legs driving her to the brink of madness. I had to take her. There was no choice. \n\nShe enjoyed the hell out of her meal, especially with me footing the bill, which came to $150 after the tip. \n\nIt's partly my fault. I caved and bought a steampot that contained two whole steamed lobsters, shrimp, sausage, and corn cobs. I can't recall what they call this combination exactly, but man did it make my wallet scream. \n\nIf a restaurant puts lobster on their menu, I have trouble passing it by. \n\nWhat formidable critters of the deep lobsters are with their crimson, armored hides. Imagine if they were the size of men or...elephants. \n\nRegardless, tearing at these monsters taught me to respect them anew, and savoring the briny, plump, tender meat morsels reminded me how tasty they can be when dredged in clarified butter. \n\nThe Crab Nachos were an easily enjoyable appetizer (crab dip on tortilla chips topped with pico de gallo, black bean corn relish, Jack cheese, and avocado lime dressing doesn't require pinching the nose to devour). as was my dessert: The decadence dance Joe calls the Campfire S'mores (How could one with a sweet tooth hate on a chocolate cake, marshmallows, graham crackers, and a Hershey bar stuck under a broiler together on a plate? Hell I could make it at home and should!). \n\nNonetheless, I must deduct stars for sticker shock, regret (for what I spent, it should have been the meal of my life), and somewhat absentee service. |

I came to Rock Hill for business, and wanted to eat some great BBQ. I tried some other places, but nothing compared to Bats. I had the pork tacos, and can't recommend them enough. This place is a FAST FOOD barbecue restaurant that is overpriced for what they give you. They gave me small portions, it was cold, and on a small throw away plate. There are so many places that give better food, larger portions, and better service. Of course I'm speaking of normal sit down restaurants, this is just a fast food type of place. There was nothing great about the food here. I won't be returning. There is a reason that this place only has a 65% rating from other people on urbanspoon. The owners also post their own reviews, which they aren't suppose to do. It also tells you that it's bad if they have to make their own. Really dry pork, sauces ranging from weird (as in, strangely seasoned) to just plain bad, awful hush puppies, and fairly pedestrian beans and potato salad. Best thing about the place was the sweet potato fries. Been once and won't go back. BBQ pork sandwich is decent, but the pork tacos are unreal. Fresh flour tortilla with tons of pulled pork, bbq sauce, cheddar cheese, and fresh pico de gallo. Addictive.\n\nReally good sweet potato fries too.\nBeans are sweet with lots of pulled pork.\nQuick and friendly service. Went there to check it out for the first time after moving in close by, wasnt anything too special. Food was alright but for the price the portions were small. \n\nYou pay for the entree and then if you want anything else , thats extra. And the very small small small side was half the price of the entree. If you want a pint of mac and cheese (which was kinda bland too), thats another $6\n\nThey also introduced a loyalty program and the guy didnt even issue me a card or anything nor asked if I had a loyalty card. I just saw it because it was on a big banner, but I didnt care to ask about it since the food wasnt anything special for its price. \n\nYou can rather go to the Food lion store right besides it and get all the ingredients and make it yourself for it for less at home if you are bringing multiple people with you if you decide to go and buy for everyone. Not a special thing about this place in my opinion.\n\nThe atmosphere was also very dark and gritty but I guess thats where the 'bats' part comes in.\n\nMy opinion, will not return unless the price or portion size changes .. $7 for a pulled pork melt (two slices of bread and a cheese slice with pulled pork) and nothing more (no sides included) is not worth the money.\n\nStaff didnt seem too enthusiastic when I was getting up to the counter either, even the cook in the window , and also when I said chicken, I was asked if I said pork... I wonder how you hear pork out of 'chicken'..\n\nIn short, unless you want to throw away money, dont eat here. |

The food was delicious! The pork tenderloin was big, thick, and very tasty. And the best part is that they carry Cookies BBQ sauce! No more having to pack it in my suitcase! 1st off, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Decided to try the stuffed burgers I've been reading about. Wow!!! Awesome!!! The flavor of the meat alone was great. I had the Diablo Burger which has bacon, cheese and jalape\xc3\xb1os inside the meat. The serve the burgers on buns made right there at their bakery. That was one of the best burgers I've had since moving to AZ. Topped it off with a slice of coconut cream pie, which also was completely wonderful, I now have my favorite place to get a burger, will have to work thru the menu to other items. I really wish this place was closer to phx but when we can we will make the drive out there to shop. They do offer delivery service which is very helpful. the butcher shop is great. reminds me of the typical midwestern butchershop. they also have a freezer section that has some jewels in it. one thing my wife loves is they have real midwest style cheese curds. the breaded ones. not very healthy but a great treat. \n\nbefore i wrote my review i figured i would read some others and there seemed to be some comments about bad customer service. I only make it out there once every few months but every time we have been (bakery and butcher shop) we have had nothing but great service. the only bad experience ive had there was not their fault but of another customer who was just rude. \n\ntheir prices are really good for quality meats. This is a real find. You feel like the cheese was sent special delivery. It is package differently and they all have a nice aroma. Glad for the samples. The pricing is not cheap. but fair and the cheese it tastes great. Just do like me and eat smaller pieces. The stuffed burgers they sell, awesome. Frozen cheese curds are also available here, oh yes. |

They have great happy hour prices (no watered down margaritas for only $3) and they have the best salsa in town. With two small children (3 and 1 1/2), this is a great place that we can come and experience a happy hour environment (responsibly, of course) with the children. We always have great service and that make Juan Jaime's our favorite Friday night hang out. Have been here for dinner once in the past week. Service was attentive, and the food good. Margarita was ok. Will most likely visit again. Carnitas and mahi fish tacos are great here! Your choice of taco shell is a nice touch as well. Solid bar, fantastic tequila selection! Not sure about prior reviews citing high prices. None of the food items are over $10. I am a born and raised Zoni and as such, I'd like to think I know good Mexican food when I taste it. Let me just say, this restaurant is FANTASTIC. I cannot get enough of the salsa and the carnitas tacos! Not to mention the killer margaritas. On top of that the service is spectacular. The last time I was in Kaitlyn was my server and I never wanted for anything. It was such a relaxing and delicious experience. Thank you Juan Jaime's and Kaitlyn! Keep up the great work! Spicy mango margarita on happy hour! It's the best thing they've got. \n\nI always get the chicken burrito with a wheat tortilla and black beans, with the rice on the side. They give you a generous portion and I'm able to add as much or as little as I want to my burrito, depending on how hungry I am. \n\nTheir happy hour is great, and they have an awesome range of margaritas and beers. \n\nI also have to say that they are SUPER willing to help you plan an event. They've offered to set aside the patio for a large party, and they really seem to take the time to help you without being difficult. I never felt like I was an inconvenience to make requests of them. They have wonderful customer service. \n\nGet there early on Friday/Saturdays, because it WILL fill up. The food is great for the price and quality. \n\nAlso, try the taco sauce on the salsa bar. It's spicy, but SO GOOD. |

However, this location was okay, I prefer the Scarborough location.\n\nFirst of all, the location is the biggest one I have been to, there are many tables where you can actually sit down and enjoy. It looked clean the day I went. Service was okay, not the best. Kind of slow, however they were being nice. \n\nThe food was good, just the way I like it, HOWEVER, the portions are ridiculous!! The prices are the same, however if I were to get the same thing at the Scarborough location, they pack it up. They give the smallest portion in such a big box.. disappointed. First off let me say I've had Osmow's before.\n\nI actually really like there Philly cheese steak... When it's done the way I like it to be.\n\nThe cashier took our order and punched it in, herself. She ends up being the person that made our food. Yes, the Philly cheese steak was fresh, so they get the 1 star there, but everything else goes down hill from there.\nThe Philly cheese steak had condiments my boyfriend and I both did not order. She literally shoved in whatever she wanted into both our wraps...\nAlso, they didn't give us an option with the usual sauces like other Osmow's when they're about to wrap up the pita or whatever. What's the point in asking me what I wanted in my pita if you're going to disregard everything .. in order to get the sauces, they charge an extra 50\xc2\xa2 per sauce... which other Osmow's clearly do not do.\nHow can the service be so poor, epecially when it's not busy, and she had a computer screen infront of her face, orders that she punched in, and still make it wrong. She was also very stingy with the condiments she put in. And one thing that really disgusted me is how she was on cash and made our food right after without any gloves or washed her hands after she coughed in it and made our food.. Had the wrap for the first time was good. Usually get the dinner. Decent. Not my favourite shawarma as I'm not a big fan of the actual meat but not bad. My best friend and I spent most of our osap eating here. Lol like its THAT GOOD. The sauce is so good. And the best thing I like here is the half half chicken with rice and rices together its even better then the chicken dinner This place is TERRIBLE. Please, I beg you, do not go here. Save your money or spend it elsewhere. My boyfriend and I went after seeing a picture of their Chicken on the Rocks on instagram. It looked great! We get there, order a chicken salad and a chicken shawarma wrap. After asking twice if they can put all the sauces on the chicken salad, and them confirming that they will -- after getting home and opening my meal, to my disappointment, there was absolutely NO SAUCE on the salad. It was plain veggies and dry chicken. Disgusting. THEN, taking a bite into the shawarma, the only sauce they had on it was mayonnaise. My boyfriend couldn't get past the first two bites because it was so doused in mayo. What a disappointment. Don't go here. |

Quick drive thru. Always get my order right. What more can you ask for from a tbell? To me, I like their burritos and tacos and i love the drive thru a really fast drive thru im in love with the buriitos i think this a good place i usually get sick from taco hell food but i love their caramel, apple empanadas. they taste like street fair food! so good!\n\ni also like their frozen lemonade-based refreshing drinks... I give this location 1 mainly because of the drive through cashier. Her name is Emma, the past 3 times she has been our cashier and she has NO enthusiasm or a single customer service bone in her body. Her tone of voice over the drive thru intercom sounds like she either has not slept in 3 weeks or is stoned. I would strongly recommend to management to let go of this person or put her where she is not interacting with customers. Especially since she is representing the company so poorly. She is the typical stereotype of a fast food worker. I would refrain hiring such low quality candidates and rethink recruiting efforts. taco bell at tatum and shea went there first off service was bad cashier slow, and when our food was ready he never even told us we had to ask is this our order? . place was dirty, soda machine dirty and food crumbs all over floor. baby high chair dirty. i can't believe the quality of the food years ago it was great. won't go back something need to be done with this taco bell. |

I have passed this establishment many times on my way home from work. Figured it was a perfect time to check them out. I ordered 2 fried fish tacos and shared a shrimp burrito with my bestie. The fish tacos took me back to Rosarito, Mexico. They are so darn good, I will definitely be going back! Well, I was gonna write a review of this DUMP but then I saw Aaron A\'s review and think it\'d be better just to re-post his horrible review!!! (how\'s that for a first line of a review, Aaron A?)\n\n"... I would not step back in this place for a taco. Fatty pork is fine, if its cooked nicely, but this was not. Green beef was ok, as long as I piled the pretty good tomatillo salsa over it. The fish...let\'s leave it at ugh. If this is their specialty, it\'s over already. (no more lines waiting, I see that much...)\n\n"This is Sunnyslope, and with the authentic delicious taco and burrito choices around here, this place is only competing with the tacos across the street at Jack in the Box, and I would probably eat those before I\'d touch another one of these, it was that bad for me.\n\n"SORRY HIPPIES. THIS WASN\'T GOOD. IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME INTO A MEXICAN PART OF TOWN YOU\'D BETTER BRING THE MEAT TO COMPETE. YOU ARE FAR OUTCLASSED IN TACOLAND." (Bold mine)\n\n"So, after some thought I decided rather than just pan the place, I\'m giving suggestions: \n1. use a paper or wax paper between the aluminum and taco, or you have a mess.\n2. do something with that too cold cabbage/cheese/tomato\n3. grill the fish and don\'t smother it / chop it up. make sure its fresh.\n4. get a better cut of pork, go organic (maybe it is), season it better\n5. keep the happy people in front, they were nice\n6. don\'t blend your lemonade with ice, it was awful and too sweet\n7. quit buying your chips at Costco, those round ones suck\n8. do something with the guacamole, it was ok just being avocado and lime, but it was pureed. keep it chunky.\n9. get more input from your mexican chefs, they probably know what is wrong\n10. Both the red and green salsas were good, just need a taco to go with it"\n\n------------\n\nBE SURE TO LOOK FOR ALL THE FLIES THEY HAVE IN THE KITCHEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. Ugh.\n\nHORRIBLE FOOD. What a deal! Quick, not greasy, tastes fresh, huge portions, and guess what......CHEAP! The pork burrito is exceptional. Oh yeah, did I mention that it's cheap! Well... I'm not sure what happened, or what is outrageous.\n\nOkay, the first time I visited this place... carne asada burrito was pretty tasty. The fish tacos, were... you know, fish tacos. Reasonably priced, reasonably good. Plus good drink. Good enough to make a visit #2, and bring a few people with me. \n\nHOWEVER, visit #2... I must say, it is not reasonable to have your salivary glands dry up after a bite of fish taco, or chicken taco. \n\nIn sum... some items here are outrageously salted and give you outrageous high blood pressure. \n\nOh, I'll give an additional star for the availability of sriracha. This is my second time here and I have fallen in love with this place. Food is absolutely delicious. The prices are great. The employees are very friendly. Highly recommend! |

It was absurdly loud with all the men cheering and shouting each time some character ran to the other side of the field on their TV show. It's really hot here in Phoenix so apparently the uniform here is very heat driven. Had an ok time but they should turn down the TV or just turn it off. It makes the other customers go crazy. The wings were great and the beer was cold. My waitress (starts with a K) was gorgeous and friendly. But I'm pretty sure she forgot about me. I had to wait for my bill for almost 30 minutes. Hooters is one of those places you're always guaranteed to have a great time at. Between the environment, food, and fabulous Hooters girls I know I can always count on a good time when I go here. I've been to many Hooters in different states and countries and the staff at the Mesa Hooters are fun, knowledgable, and great girls. I recommend bringing all your friends and family here for an experience you won't be disappointed with. If I could give them a negative star I definitely would. Server Brianne was very unprofessional kept us waiting 15 minutes before she came to take our order. She assisted all the tables on each side of us and passed us several times. I asked for her manager, Bill Rovnack, who instead of apologizing and doing what he could to make the situation better, he gave reasons as to why she would have done such a thing. We asked for a different server of which he could not accommodate basically forcing us to be comfortable with the negligent server or leaving. Terrible experience, never coming to this location again!!!! Went and got the all you could wings, they were awful. I'm pretty sure I got a batch of wings that had been sitting in the kitchen for an hour. \nI rate it four stars because my waitress was fabulous. So attentive and friendly and always made sure our drinks were filled. \nI would go back, just not for the wings!! |

Guacamole made at the table with a mortar and pestle! Ceviche and fish tacos were delicious. Prices are a bit higher than expected but I guess it's a combination of the location and the quality of the food. I could sit there and drink my summer days away. This place is the worst restaurant i have ever been to. After being seated by the rude staff we waited 30 min to be seen and only after we reminded them we have been seated and waiting this long. The food was cold and tasted something similar to dog food. Horrible service, horrible food and horrible restaurant. El Catrin has amazing atmosphere and really delicious cocktails and small plates. The outside patio is the best place to be on a nice day- with a margarita or mojito please! I wasn't as thrilled about the entree (tasted carne asada, grilled mahi mahi). Ceviche and fennel/octopus small plates were our favorites. Je met une note top niveau ! Car ce restaurant est tout simplement ouffisime. Plac\xc3\xa9 en plein milieu de la distillerie de Toronto.

Used to be a Robertos. How can my carne asada burrito and quesadilla take 2 minutes and weigh as much as a bag of feathers? That is nothing compared to the taste which the freezer section at your local grocer could provide better results. Won't be going back. Save your $$$. Bring back Roberto's! The food is gross! How do you mess up chicken tacos? The oil that they used to deep fry the tacos was definitely way over used. Dirty oily rubbery tacos... just go next door and get a hot n fresh to go pizza from Little Caesars. Pancho\'s excels and beat competitors like Roberto\'s and Tacos el Gordo. The meat almost melts in your mouth, and the servings are GINORMOUS. Last night I got the carne asada fries, and I could hardly finish it. Now you may be thinking "maybe his definition of big is my definition is small", but this isn\'t the case. The to-go box was literally filled to the lid with food. I couldn\'t close the box properly, there was that much. I look forward to going again and trying more items. Personally I believe this location is the best at hygiene from the moment you walk in you realize how clean there floor is as well as their counters and tables, yes they might not salad bar anymore, bummer but they still serve green and red salsa when you receive your order and they don't limit you its just more hygienic. The whole facility is well taken care. \n\nThe food is made fresh when ordered and have a lot on their menu to pick from it very tasty. I really like texture of their meat its not like bitting into gum like I've experienced in other places before and its seasoned properly. \n\nIts still owned by the same people they just had a name change it said it in the entrance the people are very friendly. i constantly see the same employees they had at Robertos still working there. Going downhill. New owners = higher prices, smaller portions, and got rid of the salsa bar. Now when u ask for salsa they give u a tiny container that is maybe half full. They also close early now. Just drive a little further to Roberto's. |

It turns out that they served an amazing one! \n\nThis was my first time at the Congee Queen at Highway 7 & McCowan Road. It's a big location (like most of the other locations actually) and I particularly liked how they designed the space so smartly. They installed mirrors on both sides of their restaurant so that when you are inside, the mirrors reflect the room and makes the place look double its actual size. It's such a smart way to renovate the interior!\n\nWe ordered the Pork Hock Lo Mein and also the Garoupa with Bitter Melon Rice from their lunch combo. I liked that their lunch combo included a soup and a small plate of steamed vegetables too (also a spring roll). The size of garoupa fish fillets was substantial and very tasty.\n\nThe pork hocks were so big in size and so juicy and tender. The lo mein was perfect too!\n\nThe food came out super quickly, which I was happy with especially since I was starving on this day.\n\nMy mom later ordered a bowl of plain rice noodles in soup that was to her liking as well.\n\nSince that visit, I've returned again for another meal at Congee Queen at this location. They're quite popular and busy at this location. Parking can be a bit of a hassle in their restricted and limited parking lot. Wait for a table for 2 on a Friday night around 8pm was about 15 min. Very prompt service once you order. \n\n- Roast pork over rice. The pork was quite lean and hence a bit tough. Comes with a bit of lettuce which is good.\n- Shrimp won ton noodle soup. Excellent noodle and the shrimp won ton was very fresh. They're bigger than the normal won ton you'd get in hk.\n- Salt & pepper squid. Very disappointing. Too much breading and they don't season the breading. You have to eat the hot peppers with it to get any flavors. The flavour is a little bit inconsistent with other locations, but I would definitely recommend this place for a quick, light meal. Menu is identical to the one on Steeles and the 404. Though I prefer the ambiance of the Steeles location better, bigger and less cramped. So far, still the best c congee and noodle place! Brought my brother for dinner tonight. The place was full, at 6.50pm, so we took a number to wait for a table. We didn't wait too long and were soon seated. We ordered a few things and 2 of our dishes were no good. The salt and pepper squid was not cooked properly. The oil that it was cooked in wasn't hot enough. We ended up with oil laden soggy squid. There weren't many pieces either. They shouldn't have served it, period. Being busy, we didn't complain. The noodles in the soup wonton noodles were extremely thin and soggy too. \nI think that just because the place is so busy, they are starting to let standards slip. Portion sizes are getting smaller too. They are beginning to get complacent and starting to serve sub standard food. Shame for us diners. But being in Markham, at least we have a lot of other establishments to go to. |

The restraunt is nothing nice to look at. The floors dirty and it is the same Tex-western feel inside. But the food is decent the only problem I have is with the carne asada. For some reason the taste reminds me of dog food I would advise to stay away from that burrito. Nice fast food Mexican food but I would not eat there everyday. I have been eating here since it has opened, and I think it's one of the best drive through Mexican food you can get. If you don't mind a little mix up every so often and people not being able to repeat back everything you just ordered (which I don't) you're good. Overall it's a great place to get some quick authentic Mexican food. Armando's is the perfect place to go to for a late night meal... It's fast and it's cheap, and at 2 in the morning it's great to chow down on some nachos, or rolled tacos and guacamole.. Yum! \n My only suggestion would be to sweep out all those weird car gangs in the parking lot, who just hang out.... It just doesn't look safe, nor attractive..\n\nI will be back, as its the only place around there with good food that's open late at night.. Went to this place and was definitely surprised with my experience, my California burrito was hot and tasted great and the fish tacos were very good. Their number 9 chimichanga meal is absolutely amazing. It's one of the only things I get. I have also has their nacho fries and those too are great. Good food overall and one of my favorite Mexican joints in the area.. |

I myself ordered a pizza and person I was with order a Donair. Both were quite good the Donair was actually really yummy it was a large and it was large definitely not small. I only got a small 10 inch pizza because I've never tried the place before. It was so good the crust was nice and crunchy it is definitely a place I would order a pizza from again only get a larger size. It's a little place not big and fancy guy that was working behind the counter was nice and friendly definitely a place if you're looking to try something new that you haven't tried before a different place give this place a try Cedar (Sedar) Grove Pizza? Well, If you're hungry and in the area, sure! It's a pizza by the slice joint that will have 2 or 3 kinds of pizza on hand for pizza by the slice, as well as well as some Mediterranean food and takeout pizzas . The donair pizza seems like their thing - donair meat, topped with with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. By fresh I mostly mean not cooked, not over spectacular and crisp, but raw. They serve a bunch Mediterranean street food like donairs as well. There really doesn't seem to be much italian influence in this kind of pizzeria. Cedar Grove seems like one of Calgary's many street food style shops that seem to have a background in Mediterranean, but have decided to make pizza as well. Is it good though? Sure it is. The slices were under $3 a piece which makes them a pretty good bang for the buck. You'll probably want 2 slices for a lunch quantity of pizza. \n\nThe place is nothing out of the ordinary in the way it looks. it's moderately clean with moderately friendly people working there serving moderately good food. Go in. Order pizza. Get out. aaaaaand that's about it. If you're in the area and hungry for pizza. Sure, why not? Possibly the worst slop I've ever tasted in my life. Ended up throwing most of it in the garbage. I ordered salt and pepper chicken wings and baked spaghetti. What I got was dried out flavourless pigeon wings and microwaved canned spaghetti with cheese melted on top. Worst donair in the city. The lettuce was actually brown. Dry and poorly wrapped. Just garbage. Feel shame ! I stopped in for a quick slice one afternoon and it was decent. A little old (it was 2 pm), but definitely not the worst slice in town.\n\nThey also offer Mediterranean cuisine which I plan to try next time. I just wish they kept the pizza fresh and gave you a bigger slice. But, like I said, it's not bad. And it's pretty cheap too; something like $2.50 I think. |

Really good spicy crispy meat dishes, especially their lamb. Upscale ambience without upscale prices. One of my favourite hakka places. All meat is halal too. Came into town from Philadelphia and staying in the hotel across the way from the plaza. Had bookmarked this place just because of the great reviews! It was everything and more. Went in about lunch time....they were super friendly! Gave us some menu favorites and we trusted them! Food was great! The Manchurian Chicken Fried Rice was so good! Will definitely visit again before we leave. I love Hakka Food and have a preferred place to visit when the need arises. This place serves very different Hakka food compared to the other places I've been to (around 8 different places now), so it's hard to compare them to others.\nI visited for lunch and ordered: Chicken Pakora, Chilli Chicken (in gravey) and Spicy Crispy Beef. All dishes were listed with a chilli pepper beside them (on the menu) which denotes spicy..which, unfortunately, they weren't (to be fair, I do have a high tolerance for spicy foods, but these dishes should not warrant a spicy label)\nChicken Pakora - everywhere else I've had them, they've been dry. Here, they come served coated in a red sauce (tamarind?) that is mildly spicy, and covered with green onions and sliced onions. Although not what I was expecting, they were excellent. I did notice that the longer they sat in the sauce, the spicier they became.\nChilli Chicken - the gravey was a bit too runny for my liking, but very flavourful. I noticed that the breading on the chicken absorbed the sauce, which made them a bit pastey. Not bad, not great. \nSpicy Crispy Beef - it was dry rubbed and excellent, but not spicy. It was probably my favourite dish. Although you could see tons of chilli pepper seeds, it lacked heat completely. \n\nThe above meal came with basmati rice.\n\nOur server was excellent, attentive and friendly. Decor was a bit on the tacky side (dried flowers used a curtain ties, etc), but I didn't come to eat the decor......\n\nWould I come here again? Yes, although I would request the heat factor be turned up a few notches. . I have been searching for a Indian twist on my Hakka and stumbled upon Guru's. Before walking in I read a few reviews and was armed and ready to give this place a go.\n\nTotally unassuming from the outside, the place was nicely decorated, staff was friendly and happy to bend over backwards to make me happy. I looked over the menu and ordered the Szechuan chicken, Chili Beef (dry), Chili Chinese mix Biryani & Veg Chow Mein. I also noted that most reviews found the food mild and bland so I asked for it hot. \n\nTIP: Other patrons were also requesting the spice level & mostly asking for their food hot. If you like spice, you need to request it or they will play it safe.\n\nThe food arrived, it looked great, ingredients and veggies were fresh, the food is definitely with an Indian twist, but tastefully done, it did not derive too much from the usual Chinese Hakka. Spice was present in all the dishes I ordered and was about a 7 on 10 for heat, which is where I like it. Preparation of the food must have been done on the stove. I noticed most of my food was not oily and had a more cooked taste, which I enjoyed. Only complaint was the beef, which was slightly on the firm side, but, I did ask for it dry.\n\nOverall, I think GCC makes a nice place to go to for a twist on the Hakka experience. I would recommend giving this place a try if you want to do the fresher & less oily experience. Great for beginners and those who want to change up their mundane Hakka dinner. Ordered take out from this restaurant and they got my order wrong. I ordered 2 chili shrimp, Cantonese beef noodles, Cantonese shrimp noodles and a chili paneer. I was ordering this birthday dinner for a family of 5 adults. And I'm 9 months pregnant vegetarian. When confronted they said that it wasn't their fault and that they wouldn't offer a full refund. My birthday dinner was ruined and all I got back was 11.80 for the inconvenience. When we went to collect the refund the owner lied and said that we were lying about the order. I will never order again from this establishment. |

I took my mom and sister there one night and all that hope was just completely run over by a truck. Their prices are great though! I ordered an enchilada and got a burrito. Actually, none of us got what we ordered. And that was after waiting for close to an hour for our food to be ready. But it looked good so I decided to just go for it. I did like the sauce, but everything after that was just horrible, overcooked, dry, and flavorless. I couldn't even finish the thing. Maybe it was just an off night? It was disappointing though. If you choose to try this place, I recommend calling your order in ahead of time and checking your order before you leave. I love this place but they are kind of like "catch us if you can" ...sometimes they are open sometimes they\'re just NOT. But you never know. \nWe had chile relleno plate, carne asada plate, torta and taquitos. Beans and rice were a little cold but very good other than that. Atmosphere: LAME\nCooks: Are real Mexicans - that' s a plus I guess - but they are NOT good cooks\nFood: Tasteless\nPrice: deceptive price menu and too much for too little\nIt also smelled bad in there - does that mean that buy really cheap low grade meat? Not sure, but the smell was a little scary.\n\nUmmm not sure why there are any good reviews for this place. We are constantly going to authentic Mexican restaurants all over various areas, esp California. This restaurant is not authentic Mexican. I'm not sure what it is. But it's not good. The carna asada, which is my favorite, was not carna asada here. It tasted like lightly salted meat. The salsa was way too smokey and it had almost no pleasant flavor. The horchata was good, that was the ONLY thing that was good and that's what gets the one star.\n\nA friend of ours (who is Mexican) wanted to check this place out because it's right down the street from us and the menu that they sent out in the mail made their prices look really great. The menu is totally deceiving. They have a picture of a plate of 3 carna asada tacos with the price 1.29 on it (or something like that) and when you get there you order 3 plates of the three little carna asada tacos and it came out to a little over $13.00? What do you call that? Deceiving. We know of a much better place and it's much cheaper - not that we are going for cheap, because we are not, we are going for honest advertising, authentic yummy food. And this place simply doesn't have that!\n\nOur Mexican friend ordered his favorite orange drink. Although it was pulled out of the little fridge next to the register, the soda was warm. There was no one there, either the fridge doesn't work or they stock rarely and slowly. \n\n\n\n\n\nALTERNATIVE PLACE TO GO TO: Taqueria Arandas \n2040 North Nellis Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV\n(702) 452-7313 - This place is the bomb digity! Totally Authentic Mexican food (WOOOOWW - atmosphere is ok, but WHO CARES, the food is so stinking good!!! and the prices are amazing!!!!) I love, love, love their chips and salsa. The carne asada burrito is tasty along with the carnitas tacos. Yeah, the restaurant itself isn't fancy schmancy, but it gets the job done and fills my belly- making me a happy chappy! I've searched for some real authentic Mexican cooking for a while in north vegas, and this place does the job great! \nThe tacos, the fish, the burritos, even the quesadillas are on point and prices are not bad. |

I live in California, my father lives in Mississauga. I\'ve already given him gift cards to all his favorite places, I need something new. Jump on Yelp and scout around for bakeries. Sanremo looks like a winner. Call them up, get a lovely young person on the phone who says "Sure, we can set up a gift card for your father," and handles the whole thing. Saved! My father swings by to pick up his card and LOVES the place, a new favorite. Thanks Sanremo Bakery, and thanks Yelp Reviewers, I couldn\'t have done it without you! Thank u Sanremo for having the yummiest bakery in Etobicoke! Our family with 4 boys devoured the italian sandwiches (veal and ... chicken that was not dry whoo hoo!), Apple fritter donut, red velvet donut, regular glazed and sprinkles donuts (which they deem as ALL their favs) and oohed and ahhed over the canolis. Also picked up a delish loaf of squishy, tasty bread and today wishing it werent Mon so we could get more. I think we were so excited that we forgot half our order and the nice lady looked around and found us still roaming the store. Oh, and the butter tart ... our poor American friends are missing out on this lovely Cdn dessert which u make so well (thank u for offering a pecan-less option) What a cozy little place on the Evans strip. I didn't really like their numbering system for dessert. But oh was the wait worth it. I got one slice of the pecan brown which was a perfect mixture of chewy meeting chocolate. It was delightful. In the other hand, their cheese pizza was too salty. Nice bakery overall. Surprising selection of all things baked. Croissants are some of the best I've had. Donuts look impressive but are only slightly above average in taste for me. Sandwiches are high quality and delicious. Fun place to visit. My only real complaint is about their cupcakes and cakes frosted not with buttercream but icing that tastes like vegetable shortening, artificial flavor and off-putting, disappointing. I'm new to the neighborhood but even I know this place is a cornerstone in the community. The place is almost always busy when I'm in there, and it's easy to taste why! Fresh bread, pastries, cookies, pizza and Italian sandwiches. |

I waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to take my drink order. When our waitress finally arrived she abruptly said "are you ready to order?" I said "don\'t you want to take our drink order first?" Nonetheless, we did order our food at that time since we had over 15 minutes to review the menu. The waitress was very rude and not helpful. I asked her to add chicken to my child\'s macaroni and cheese plate and she wasn\'t sure what I meant and seemed bothered by my request. I told her not to worry about it. My daughters were looking forward to having Philadelphia Rolls which I\'ve found are staples in sushi restaurants. I ordered them and she didn\'t know what they were. She said if it\'s not on the menu, they can\'t make it. She checked with the chef and came back to tell me they didn\'t have salmon. What kind of sushi restaurant doesn\'t have salmon? Once the food came out, my Vegas roll had beef inside of it and the English menu didn\'t say it came with beef. All it said was that it had bacon not beef. I sent the roll back. The waitress never brought us plates for our sushi. We were practically eating our sushi in the "air". My child\'s macaroni and cheese was "Kraft Box mac and cheese" w/ an $8 charge. The sushi however was pretty tasty and I did appreciate the manager coming over and attempting to make things right for me and my family. He apologized and gave us a small discount for our inconvenience. He even gave me a free drink which was so good. I really liked his customer service and effort to make me happy. He did put a smile on my face and if my waitress would\'ve been helpful like the manager, my review would\'ve been very different. I might give them another chance solely due to the manager. He\'s the reason I added an extra star to my review. My visit was on a Friday night. Love the sushi and marisc\xc3\xb3 (sea food) mix. Menu had a lot of good options . They had Banda playing which was kinda loud but aren't all marisco spots lol. Tried the cucumber margarita .. was awesome! To eat ordered a molcajete which had carne asada, chicken, bacon wrapped shrimp, nopales, queso and topped with molcajete salsa. Now the food was good but my the disappointment was that the molcajete wasn't real and food became cold fast. Ordered a side of guacamole and chips which was also awesome! I would repeat a visit just to try the sushi selection and more! This place is AWESOME!!!\n\nService + Mariscos + Michalate are very very good.\n\nThe live band is cranking out good music Food was good but service was bad and extremely slow!!! Didnt even get to enjoy and eat our food together because each plate came out every 20 minutes, at the end we had to ask for my sisters plate to go bc everyone was already done and her order still wasn't ready. This is a big issue and needs to be fixed! Food was great, Imperio Tacos (steak & shrimp with melted cheese) & Shrimp cocktail are highly recommended. |

Signature cocktails are pricy but they are well made with fresh ingredients and top shelf liquor. The seating is comfortable and service is attentive witbout being obtrusive. The GM Mike was welcoming and performed several quality checks throughout the course of our visit. I ordered a "pick two" entree with one of my picks being what was described as smoked chicken and was surprised when it came out with barbecue sauce on top. It tasted like a piece of grilled chicken with BBQ sauce on it to me and wasn\'t what I expected. After all the cornbread and a delicious Caesar salad I didn\'t care! Decent menu but nothing too spectacular. The cornbread is good but nothing to write home about. The kids menu is pretty basic and my kids weren't overly impressed, except they did enjoy the ice cream. I had the grilled fish tacos, which were pretty good; hubby had one of the BBQ plates, which was just ok. Server was good and efficient. Overall a good meal and experience. I have been here a number of times and enjoyed all visits. They have the best key lime pie ever. From out of town and found on yelp. Deserves the positive ratings that it has gotten. Spent a wonderful evening on Wednesday at my now favorite local restaurant. The service was outstanding, and the food wonderful. I feel it is a bit overpriced, especially their bar wines and drinks. $10 for a glass of house Pinot Noir is way too high. However the fish tacos were fresh, tasty and with a side of black beans and rice were amazing! I will be returning! |

Have it your way...wait...where have I heard that before....Which wich has my vote- hot or cold sandwiches however you want it. My sandwich is a ham with mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cucumbers and avocado on a wheat roll. Only complaint was the roll was not that great. I see that they are offering Amoroso's rolls for their cheesesteaks but you have to pay $2 more.\nAmoroso's as anyone from back east knows- they are the NINJA of rolls. Next time I 'll try them to see how authentic they are. Shit show at lunch. If you want to wait close to 30 mins for one sandwich and watch them all yell at each other this is the place to go! Our favorite sandwich spot ! Such an amazing concept ! Brown bag it ! Pick your selection of meat or vegetarian and add all your favorites ! Very consistent ! Always yummilicious !!!! They have so many options to choose from it almost made my head hurt, but then I thought about how convenient that is. I loved the process of customizing your sandwich before hitting the counter and the options to choose a bowl or lettuce wrap. Great concept and it works! Ordered a veggie w extra lettuce and peppers. I literally got a sprinkling of lettuce. It's a veggie sandwich! Like come on! I wound up having to doctor it up w food I had in my fridge. There are better sandwich places out there. |

If the new management capitalizes on her skills the business will go far. As we learned tonight the prices are fair for alcohol but we did not eat a meal so will not comment on food. It is a new business and the bartender expectations are high. We are personally hoping for nightly drink and dinner menus so we can plan our week (taco Tuesday - wings Wednesday etc!). These specials need to be visible on Ray and Rural roads otherwise no one will know where they are.\n Go Buckeyes Rick...we truly hope you can make it after watching 3 bars unsuccessful attempts in this location. Our best hopes to you... We entered and spied a few Spartan tables and smaller TVs raised to absurd volume levels with sparsely populated walls containing nothing to absorb any sound which resulted in us being battered with a cacophony of football commentators and loudly conversing patrons. We stood in an area near the door for roughly three minutes and didn't observe a single waiter/waitress but did observe one bartender frantically trying to serve every customer seated at the bar. No one was eating any food supposedly served there. No one spoke to us. We promptly exited and likely won't return. I'm always rather perplexed when proprietors open a bar and seem to want to make it fly by managing it on the cheap. Maybe it was a bad night but we were unimpressed. I'm betting this place is closed within a year. Food was delicious... Pork tacos and beans should be on the everyday menu! Service was great and happy hour prices open thru 7pm everyday! We just moved into the neighborhood and really hoping to find a great local place for good food with a nice atmosphere. We found exactly that in Rick's! The burgers were incredibly juicy on a brioche bun, super tasty onion rings.. and cold beer! Service was superb, we didn't want for anything.. we will be back! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed An amazing place!!! This is a great neighborhood place let it be your favorite bar like it is mine!!! |

We were starving, so for convenience my coworker and I decided to have dinner at Casa Nicola. What a HUGE mistake. \nI looked at the menu and the price was high for a Italian restaurant but figured the food must be that good. Boy was I wrong. \nMy coworker ordered a Seafood Linguine (forgot the exact name) and I ordered the Ossobuco (veal) with creamy Risotto rice which is supposed to be one of their signature dishes. (according to their website) We also ordered some napa valley Merlot to compliment my dish. The wine was pretty good, but that was about it. Actually my Ossobuco was horrid. The meat was very tough (this is veal mind you), dry: almost like they had the meat precooked, left out and then warmed it in a steamer or something, and the sauce just reeked of butter. The risotto just sucked and tasted like I was scooping up butter into my mouth. I have not had Italian like this even at Olive garden. At least the food there compliments the price, my dish alone was $37.99. Ridiculous~!!! for the quality of food that they serve here. My Coworker is pretty much a food connesoir and thought the food was horrible. (obviously his pasta sucked too) \n\nI do not mind paying good money for good quality food but this place is not that. The food is not just average...it is horrible. \nI have enjoyed food far superior at places like Maggiano's which is a lower grade restaurant in terms of price than Casa Nicola. \nDO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY HERE!!! It will surprise you how bad it is. I give them an "A" for "Average"! The food was average and the service was average. The highlight was when the waiter rolled his eyes when we asked for them to pack the leftovers for us so we can take them with us! The salad and pink vodka pasta were great . The meat sauce pasta was soso. The atmosphere was very nice. I had a $20 coupon from the front desk which helped.\n\nGregorio was very friendly but a little slow on the refills . The wine list is pretty deep and cheap for comparable restaurants in Vegas.\n\nVeal piccata was excellent, and the apps/salad were just ok. Service was terrific, making this a four rather than a three star. \n\nI agree that the ambiance could use some work. Quiet, dull and boring. Food was good and moderately priced - all things relative. HUGE RIP OFF!! Food quality and service just OK. Avoid this place if money is at all important to you. Seriously, the pricing is ridiculous, not even Paris or Nikki would spend this kind of money. Not shocking they were able to accommodate my party of 10 at 8pm on a Saturday night - Red Flag! |

This is the second Fatburger I have been to, as I usually like to give mediocre a second try in case it was a fluke. Nope, sorry Fatburger- you are just bland. The burger was lacking excitement. Bland was the theme of the day here. The prices were way out of line for the end product. Oh well. I have eaten at fatburger several times and found the burger tasty and a decent price. The have 3 kinds of french fries, steak, thin and curly and now that I think about maybe regular! They serve quick even though they are usualy crowded. You can go from a third pound all the way to a 24 ounce burger, now thats a hamburger. If you try it you will not be disappointed. "The Truth" Ciau! This place was empty and I should have known better. I ate at a Fatburger years ago. It\'s not a bad place, but just so overpriced for fast food. I have rarely "craved" a Fatburger. This location has nice outdoor seating at the Desert Ridge shopping center where you can people watch. Other than that it\'s a pretty standard Fatburger. FINALLY, I sample the notorious Fatburger, which we don't have up in the Bay Area. And my reaction was--OK.\n\nYes, the burger was Fat. The fries were also Fat, but that's the way I picked them, and I did like them. Simple, potatoey, and no weird coating on the outside like some competitors' fries.\n\nI guess if you desperately need a fast food burger and you're in the gravitational pull of a Fatburger, you could do worse. I prefer it to Fuddruckers and might even take it over In-n-Out, but Jeffrey's and Val's in the Bay Area are far better burgers to my taste.\n\nThis particular Fatburger seems to be brand new and part of a sprawling outdoor mall here on the edge of the desert north of Scottsdale. It won't be the edge of the desert for long, of course, since Great Phoenix seems to grow like creepy fingers of killer space fungus in a Sci-Fi movie of some kind. By this time next year it will be 20 miles in from the northern edge of Greater Phoenix, and the locals will see it as a quaint relic of bygone times in an aging layer of this megalopolis. Love this place. Great Food Great Service. Get a Groupon! It totally helps with the $$$ |

They have a very interesting location in the South Side Slopes (with a little parking lot!) The decor is very nice with dark wood, nice linens and flowers around. Every time I go for happy hour, I have a nice evening. They have great food specials including giant sandwiches and wings. Seriously, you don't need more than 6 wings, so at 30 cents a pop for happy hour that's dinner. If you order too many, they're happy to wrap the wings up for you in a doggy bag. It's a very quiet restaurant, which I definitely enjoy. The lamb is cooked to perfection. Drinks are pretty delicious too. Very unsuspecting place is a quiet neighborhood. Good experience though. Would go back. Very limited menu and an unusual location. Had a hard time finding parking. I had the chicken parm sandwich which was just o.k. My friend had the shrimp alfredo which was good. I will say the prices are cheap and the portions large. I just wish there was more to choose from. If you want a cheap divey place then this is your spot. Being that I\'m the first Pittsburgher to review UUBU6, it pains to me rate this typically superb restaurant with only 2 stars. But unfortunately last Saturday night, my lofty expectations fell well short of what we had experienced here before. We arrived early for our reservation at this funky spot up the hill on the South Side, and decided to have a drink at the cool bar of what used to be the Workingman\'s Beneficial Union No. 6 lodge (somehow they get UUBU6 out of all of that). I was excited to see a large beer tub full of one of my favorite beers, Blue Point Hoptical Illusion, and quickly ordered two for the guys. Our ladies each decided on a pomegranate martini which were so strong even I had a hard time taking a sip. The four of us were seated in the grand main dining room with the yellow and green checker board ceiling and the dramatic yellow drapery. But unfortunately after we sat down, the staff forgot we were there. We waited almost 20 minutes until a server approached us and asked if we were ready to order. I said "we would be happy to order if we had menus." You can see where this night was headed. The server apologized and quickly returned with our menus. UUBU6\'s menu tonight looked nothing like the menu on the website (it does say "menu subject to change upon the Whim of the Chef" ) but I have to say we were very disappointed with the night\'s offerings. The entire first page was a Lenton menu ( this was a Saturday night) with 8-10 seafood specials. But the biggest disappointment was the fact that there was only one appetizer (asparagus frito misto) to go along with 3 or 4 salads. Are you serious??? The app selction on the website had so many different choices and our only option was asparagus which also happened to be the vegetable of the day? Fortunately I saw a very attractive cheese and fruit plate on the dessert cart next to our table and we decided to order it for our appetizer. The waiter obliged and it was actually a very good selection of a Maytag blue, a brie, a borsin and a smoked Gouda to go along with the grapes, strawberries, crackers and bread. The wine list is extensive and is attached to every menu, so after finally settling on a bottle of wine, we were sorry to learn that it was unavailable. Our server suggested a similar California Red from the $20 bottle list. I was confused because none of our menus had this value list. So he returned with another menu and we were lucky to have a very good Cali Pinot Noir. The salads were just okay with a blood-orange vinaigrette. Nothing to get excited about. But my seafood bisque was very flavorful and hearty. My lady ordered the Hangar steak with mustard sauce and sweet potato fries. Our server informed us that he thought they were out of it so he asked her for a plan B in case it was unavailable. After another 20 minutes, we motioned to our server to see if she was getting the hangar steak and he informed us that there indeed was one left. We wished there hadn\'t been because the steak came out a little overcooked, but drowning in mustard flavor. But her biggest disappointment was that the accompanying fries weren\'t sweet potato, just plain ordinary steak fries. She wouldn\'t have ordered the steak if she had known they were out of sweet potatoes and our server again neglected to mention this to us. As for my dish, I went in ready to order either a duck or a lamb dish from the website but of course neither were on tonights menu. So I decided on the soft shell crabs with spring onion and tomato relish. I chose poorly. The "salsa" on top was just that, chopped tomato and sliced green onion. But that was the least of my entree\'s problem. The soft shells were so salty I could feel my blood pressure rising with each bite. It was almost laughable but by now I was too hungry to send them back. Apparently it was contagious, because the accompanying asparagus also seemed to be inflicted with this same salt problem. In fairness, our dining companions enjoyed their dishes, I especially liked his Angus beef tenderloin (we like to try each others dishes) but his wife\'s salmon dish was a little on the dry side. The dessert cart (again, none of the desserts on the website were on the cart tonight) sells itself with the elegantly arranged trays of small cakes and pastries. The ladies\' Chocolate flourless cake wasn\'t very awe-inspiring but a strawberry Napoleon with whipped cream was sublime. All things considered, and because of my $50 gift certificate (thanks WPXI Just Pay Half) our final tally came to $65 per couple. All things considered, UUBU6 can give you a pretty good bang for your buck with the $20 wine list and also a $30 recession buster prix fix feature. So as you can see, you can get pretty good value here. As long as the kitchen and waitstaff rekindle the commitment to excellence that I had come to expect when UUBU6 first ascended up the slopes of the South Side. Uubu 6 is a bit tiny, but it\'s pretty unique. We came for Thanksgiving dinner, and if you can use it as a basis for the rest of their food, it\'s pretty good.\n\nAs the below poster said: they bake bread in house. We got the most delicious, fresh, warm rye bread (and I typically hate rye) with a plate of tasty, melty butter. Next was a delicious mushroom bisque, followed by a decent salad with pomegranates, raspberries, and walnuts. They served a good, but typical Thanksgiving plate with all the fixins. For desert was a dense chocolate cake (and I suspect flour-less?), which was quite good.\n\nThey have a large wine menu, and recently have added a $20 bottle page. Also our server was an incredibly friendly and pleasant, despite the stress she must have been under due to the high volume of large families coming in. Parking is kind of a pain though, the "lot" for customers can probably only fit 6 cars, luckily they have a valet to deal with that. There is street parking across from it, but there\'s no sidewalk. I would drop your guests off at the restaurant before parking on South 18th Street as your passenger side will be extremely unpleasant to get out of. |

Sometimes the order takes a little long but they have tasty shakes and slushees. It was always a pleasure getting the happy hour half off shakes, but not last night. My sister and I went to this store to buy shakes last night. After 3 hours of consuming those said shakes, we both had gotten food poisoning. I was awake all night long, but my sister who ordered a small sized shake, felt a bit better than i was. I'm going to contact the Corporate about this. Half priced shakes after 8pm? Uh, yes please. Sweet tooth satisfied! Theyre burgers are awesome ! What makes it even better is happy hour on slushies and a great variety of flavors to choose from ! Im from la and my cousins stay down the street from here so every time I come down I have to hit this sonics up |

Very good burrito, the Mucho size is huge, very tasty. I love their concept of fast casual food but everything is freshly homemade and no msg. Attrape nigot et service pourri,\nLe monsieur asiatique derni\xc3\xa8re le comptoir coupe les sous en 4...Il te met 3 grain de fromage dans ton burrito et si tu en veux plus c'est un extra!?!?!? Pris un bol de b\xc5\x93uf et la portion \xc3\xa9tait un peu petite pour le prix. Employ\xc3\xa9s jeunes mais courtois. La sauce a la root beer est ordinaire. Je vais essayer le poulet la prochaine fois. Ugggh. Chipotle this is not. I really had *such* high hopes for the place. \n\nI figured that even a ripoff of the Chipotle concept would be great. Well, Food is ok but really not memorable, Prices are on the high side and the kicker is that they are soooo stingy with their portioning. \n\nWhen you go to Chipotle, ok Perhaps the meat portion is controlled but everything else is soooo abundant and unlimited. Think overflowing bowls and 4 different kinds of salsas including a Corn salsa filled in generous containers on the side. \n\nOn the other hand, at Mucho, they are unbelievably cheap on everything. picture getting a regular size burrito bowl that is only a third full even after you have prompted the employees to portion more generously. \n\nEven when I paid for a side of guacamole, I only got a tablespoon worth. \n\nThis place just isn't worth it IMO. One word "awful". Went there hoping to get somewhat decent food since its fast food mexican. It was not eatable. We all had bowls two with shrimps. One with two types of meat. Shrimp was bland, tasteless. Gross. The meat was so so. The toppings were horrendous. Again bland, lacked seasoning, the bowl at the end looked like a bowl of garbage leftovers. Not appetizing. The employee, obviously told, was adding as liitle as possible as he can the toppings we would pick. Super cheap and stingy on the toppings. To the point the bowl that was "supposed" to be filled was half empty. I pointed it out to the cold unhappy cashier who seemed to be in charge she just brushed it off by saying thats the size of the classique. I felt like telling her keep your discusting cheap food. Never going again. I foresee this so called "mexican" food chain closing down very soon. We\'re in montreal with very good mexican restaurants maybe not fast food but why would you even bother spending money there not worth it. I wouldn\'t have even given it a 1 star. Thats how bad it was. |

I was excited to see it opened and decided to give it a try. After all, with prices like that, the food and service should be top notch, right?\n\nWell, starting with the food, it was pretty decent, nothing so spectacular to rave about, but came in pretty good. However, they lose a star for bringing my wife's steak in the wrong temperature. For a steakhouse that's a no-no...\n\nThe service is slow, as other reviews had said. So be patient and be prepared to wait; don't go if you are in a rush.\n\nBut the critical error for me, and for that they lose 2 stars, is the math error in the bill. The subtotal did not add up to the individual items. Unfortunately it went unnoticed until I went back home and reconciled. Having to bring a calculator to dinner should not be necessary. Four items listed (35.00+4.50+7.00+45.00) do NOT equal 95.50.\n\nI really want to believe it is a systems error in their point of sale system rather than a deliberate attempt to swindle patrons. But I message the restaurant to alert them to no response. That's why the third star got lost. I recently visited Ted's in Denver and loved it so, I wanted to try this one, near my home. Myself, wife and daughter went on a Sunday evening around 6:30pm. The place was super busy with lots of screaming kids.\nThe service was desperately running. It was obvious they were understaffed. It took a long time to get our drinks from the bar on the first round and when our glasses were empty, I figured it would be faster to go to the bar and bring the drinks back to the table. The bartender was overwhelmed as well. He was trying to draw a beer and open a bottle of wine at the same time. \n\nAnyway, after I brought the drinks back to the table, our food arrived after a short wait and my Canyon Creek burger (though not medium as requested) was really good. The fries and fish sandwich were great and my wife's naked Bison Burger was very good too. \n\nOverall, I would say our experience was a little stressful. Very good food. Slow service. High noise. \n\nWe agreed we would return but considering the parking challenges of Waverly, the busyness of the place, the noise level and overwhelmed staff, it will be a while before we will want to try again.\n\n I'm not sure if management can't find staff to handle the volume or this is SOP but hope they get some help. After reading the reviews I was very hesitant, but had a birthday dinner and gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised, the food and service was great. We had a party of 10+ and service was great at all times, several members of the team came to check on us through out our dinner. Drinks were good and original and the food was amazing! Will definitely be going back. We had a great dinner here! Started with 2 lemonades and some bison nachos. I had the bison ribeye and my husband had the bison meatloaf...both very good. Service was exceptional! Seriously Eric might be the best waiter we've ever had at any restaurant ever! Very cool place and atmosphere. Will definitely be back! Really disappointed in our first dining experience. We checked in with the host and gave the number in our party and he told us the wait time time (45 minutes), but he didn't take our name. My husband went back to the host stand and redid the check in, this time with our name, but we NEVER got called. Fortunately, two places at the bar opened up so we ate there. We ordered bison, but got charged for beef! The bartender even went through the cooking temps for the bison and the server said it was bison. We went there specially for bison, but thinking we got beef instead! Whichever we ate, it was a tad overcooked. On a postive note, the bar staff was great! Not sure if we will give them a second chance? I noticed that their sanitary rating is only 90. |

Gilbert Rd' | b'True' | mexican | This Filiberto's is always the one to go to on Taco Tuesday. Me and my husband live about 20 minutes away and could go to 3 other closer locations but there is just something about this one that always has us coming back. The tacos always come out hot and cheesy with the perfect amount of meat. Also, the employees are always so friendly and never short you on your choice of sauce. Highly recommend this Filiberto's over all others for any craving at any time. This particular Filibertos location has consistently been among the worst I've been to, and I've been to most of them. I don't know if this franchise has different recipes or just gets their ingredients from other lower quality sources than others, but whatever they do differently, its not good.\n\nBeans are always bland. In fact, nearly everything at this one is more bland than others. Burritos tend to be smaller too. Even the hot sauce is weird at this one.\n\nOn the plus side, they have an every day dollar menu, which most simply don't have. This includes cinnamon chips! Those are awesome and I wish every Filibertos had them. \n\nGo to Val Vista and Baseline. Its a close alternative, and FAR superior food. I have been eating here (and other locations) for 15 years and the food is top notch!!! Carne Asada burrito, no need to look any further on the menu!!! Excellent food at an affordable price. If Mexican fast food is your scene, there are few rivals to Filiberto's. In my former life as a fast food aficionado, I found myself daily at the drive-thru window of Fliberto's ordering breakfast burritos. All varieties excellent! Huge burritos overflowing with yummity goodness. Nothing hits the spot like breakfast at Filiberto's. Now that I have reformed my ways of eating to embrace a healthier lifestyle, I still find that there are yummity healthy options like the pollo asado burrito minus the tortilla. The salsa verde is excellent. You can switch your flour tortillas for corn tortillas and ask for grilled options. I have shopped around and still think Filiberto's is one of a kind. Eat well. Be well. I don't care what anyone says, I love Filiberto's. Carne asada burrito, Arizona burrito, green chile, carnitas, machaca, chorizo, carne asada fries.... I love it all. I'm not crazy about the cheese they use, so I usually order without it, or end up scraping it off. It's not gross, they just tend to be heavy handed.\n\nNothing beats a late-night Filiberto's stop, or a morning-after hangover buster. And, their horchata is my favorite! If they delivered, my life would be complete. |

So, seeing that there was a fall tasting offering for $30 and I had never been here before, I was in!\n\nI have to admit I\'ve never even been to Bellevue before, so I was in uncharted territory. It\'s a pretty unassuming, quaint restaurant, total mom and pop type, so you immediately feel comfortable. Added bonus, it\'s BYOB...so bring it!\n\nSo the tasting menu was either 4 or 7 courses. Since 7 seemed like a stretch, I stuck to the 4 courses. First course was beets: chips, beet tartar, spiced beet puree. I love beets SO MUCH. And while it was delicious, and the beet chip was something I\'d never seen or tasted before, the offerings were TINY. Maybe that\'s me just being a greedy beet lover, but since it was so inventive and good, I wanted just a tad more.\n\nThe second course was the Pumpkin Risotto. This was a perfect size and great tasting. Creamy and pumpkin-y. Just how I wanted it to taste! The fourth course was between a trio of birds (what a cute name!) and the Harvest Vegetable Spaghetti with cauliflower, chanterelle mushroom and pecorino. I love veggies so I opted for this choice and it was awesome! It was something that looked so easy to make that you could potentially make at home, but I could never pull off the right flavorings. It was fresh and flavorful. \n\nThe last course was Roasted Figs with vanilla and honey. I\'ve just recently discovered how awesome figs taste (I know, I\'m probably behind). The mix was incredible. I feel like honey\'s being used in a lot of different plates recently, and I\'m totally into it! It adds just the right touch of sweetness. \n\nThe service was incredibly attentive and fast, with the server there when you needed her as well as the manager walking around the room and talking with the patrons. Again, just very welcoming. And I can\'t even begin to describe the presentation of the food. It was art! It tasted as good as it looked, but it was an added perk. I\'m okay with ruining tasty art! I have been to Bite Bistro several times... living in Bellevue, then moving to neighboring Avalon, it's rare that I have a chance to brag about culinary attractions in the area.\n\nFor those unsure about where Bellevue is, Bite Bistro is worth the extra work to figure it out and make the trip (it's really only a few minutes outside of the city!). \n\nBite Bistro is a welcoming restaurant, stylish and modern but comfortable and casual. There is usually a nice mix of older fine dining patrons and younger couples and groups. It's BYOB and they offer a lot of tasty mixers for liquor. Many of the ones I've tried are a bit too sweet for me, so I usually settle with a bottle of wine or beer. \n\nThis particular trip to Bite I was concerned because nothing on the menu immediately jumped out as an easy choice. They recently removed my go-to Prosciutto Sandwich (with St. Andres cheese, amazing sandwich), so I was desperate to find my next fave dish. My husband ordered the Hanger Steak, which is a delicious mix of juicy flavorful steak and Bite's unbeatable fries. Can't go wrong with that, but I was looking for something a little less heavy. \n\nI settled on the Duck Breast and squash. I don't remember ever having duck, so this was a leap. It came out medium rare, sliced over top of tenderly sauteed squash, brussel sprouts, and fresh cranberries. The duck was so juicy it was unbelievable. I'm not usually a fan of fat on meat, but the thin edge of fat on one of the pieces was like butter mixed with the delicious duck. The bitter crunchy cranberries and rich flavors of the squash and brussels was perfectly balanced. My husband even liked the duck more than the steak (and the steak was good, people). \n\nOne thing I love about Bite is that I always have room for dessert, and they always have something that is interesting. Tonight we treated ourselves to the goat cheese and warm cider dessert. The goat cheese was so creamy and rich that I could have eaten a bucket of it. Served with little pieces of bread and apples this was a great fall/winter dessert idea. The warm cider was a nice finishing touch. \n\nI have had dishes I like more than others at Bite, but I've never had any dish there that was not thoughtfully cooked, carefully presented, and creative. I couldn't ask for more than that from a restaurant. The service is always fantastic. I would come here every night if I could! Next time I'm there I'd love to experience a chef's tasting. Keep up the great work, Bite Bistro! I love the restaurant, the building I mean. The food\'s good too. It was 95 degrees when I picked up my friend, I wasn\'t feeling particularly hungry, who wants to eat when it\'s so scorching out? Thank god for small plates.\n\nWe walk in, My friend looks around, I looked around, looked different from the last time I was here, right after it opened. Added attraction...the waitress remembers me from last time, calls me Joe and remembers what table I sat at, and I get "will you be dining at your normal table?" This is only my second visit, I didn\'t know I had a regular table. Last time I chose the table right in front of the big black board with the menu written on it. So, I guess this is my regular table. We sit down.\n\nAs I stated earlier, It was hot as a witch\'s other part, I was happy I found a parking spot right outside the door, and the restaurant was nice and cool, not cold, just right, and our waitress brought over two nice big glasses of water with lemon. I sucked it down like it was the last glass of water on Lincoln Ave. That really hit the spot. She refilled us both right away.\n\nOrdering dinner was hard, I decided on two small plates, I chose the grains with cardamon tomatoes and the wild mushroom polenta with a drizzle of walnut oil. Two small plates, nice and light and saving room for dessert. Friend of Joe decided between bread pudding with truffled Asparagus or the Crab BLT. She chose the latter and proclaimed it delicious. The aioli served with the crab sandwich made the meal she said, nice and spicy, it played nicely off the fresh lump crab, the smokey bacon and the heirloom tomatoes. My polenta was soft and delicious, with a hint of cinnamon. The wild mushrooms were trumpet mushrooms, expertly sauteed and drizzles with the right amount of walnut oil. The grains were equally delicious, perfectly cook, a combination of lentils and chick peas, crispy onions, and a tomato\nsauce with a nice bit of cardamon.\n\nFor dessert we both had the grilled banana bread with macerated berries, nice and light, not the least bit heavy. I would have served it with a little whipped cream, but it was very good.\n\nWe had fun watching the Bellvue natives walking past the large picture windows as we dined. Living in Bellevue we don't have many restaurants I like to frequent for dinner. Vivo was always a little too expensive to go to too often so I've been delighted with Bite Bistro. \n\nIn my opinion there might not be a better value in all of Pittsburgh. Their food is inventive and after going there several times I've never had a bad experience or been anything but thrilled with my food. \n\nThere are plenty of Vegetarian options, and the deserts are always delicious and something I've never tried before (cereal milk panacotta and corn gelatto were both amazing). \n\nSince Bellvue is dry, it's BYOB, but the corkage fee is only $2. Bite Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh, and definitely my favorite that I can walk to. I had a really 'meh' experience at Bite. Maybe a victim of overhype. The menu had a few intriguing items (most notably in the apps/small plates) but turns out both dishes that came to the table were underwhelming. \n\nI ordered the Lentil Tacos, the BF had a sausage sandwich. While both reasonably priced ($12 for tacos, $9 for sammy), I wouldn't order either again. \n\nTacos: The lentils were well prepared, but lacking in the only other element they included which was mushrooms. Some spring mix had been put on the shell before the lentils, making for a really sad presentation. The soft flour shells were straight out of a package, not grilled or even microwaved. Tacos were served with some really crappy, limp tortilla chips - soggy and lukewarm. Meal upside: salsa was fresh and likely housemade. \n\nSausage Sammy: Links were definitely out of a package. Bun was 5x the size of the sausage. Failure. Meal upside: the fries were delish. Super thin sliced, not really string fries but paper thin/string width. There was a mayo/herb sauce on top that took it home. \n\nFinally: corkage is listed on the menu at $6. Thankfully we were not charged this much, but $6 is steep compared to even some of our nicest BYOB's in the city (see Cure, Cafe du Jour). \n\nI'm thinking maybe we just hit it on an off night, or we ordered the worst two things on the menu ... service was good, atmosphere was fine - will likely give it another shot since I'd like to be impressed! |

Not in the top japanese places in the city, but if you want a good bento box or spicey salmon sushi roll, this is the place. \n\nThe quality is much higher than a place like New Generation sushi, and prices are reasonable. The patio in the summer is great--though close to the fire station. Definitely my favourite place in the area and I keep coming back. Portions were massive but quality was very low! A coworker recommended this place so I thought I would try it out. Very unimpressed! Also we ordered something that was supposed to be 8 pieces, and I only got 7! The server then asked us if we ate one! LOL! Overpriced and bad quality, go elsewhere for sushi in the city! Pretty nice place, nothing fancy, but it's great for the price. I usually get the bento box combo, it comes with everything and it's more than enough food for two people, for only fifteen bucks plus tax&tip. Not bad for the area, but not exceptional. Sometimes very unimpressed by the food, other times no complaints. Prefer Sushi Sky, unless I want to be outdoor on the patio.\nNice atmosphere. \nGood service. Great service, generous portions, nice ambiance. \n\nI have gone here 80+ times and have been disappointed maybe 1 time. \n\nMy teacup gets empty and its refilled in literally seconds. \n\nTry the spider roll - it's amazing. \n\nThe bottom line:\nKokyo is a decently priced, generously portioned Japanese restaurant with impeccable service. |

Their burgers are so fresh and tasty! Service was excellent! A young lady came a few times to make sure we didn't need more drink or anything else! I recommend if you are in the area, giving it a try! Good food. Fair price.\n\nI ordered a sandwich, which was good. It was a very sizable portion.\n\nThe price were reasonable, but I was not blown away by the value.\n\nThey have a staff member walking around refilling drinks, which is very nice.\n\nHowever, The staff taking orders was busy chatting and gave the impression that all the people ordering food were bothering them. They were not rude, just seemed distracted. No huge deal but worth mentioning. Our go to place on Mondays bc kids eat free from 4pm-6pm. Good old fashioned burgers. Quick service and quality food. We saw some positive reviews for this little place and decided to try our luck at a previously unattended restaurant, BIG MISTAKE. I don\'t know what the people that gave this place any type of positive reviews but it was terrible. My 8 year old took one bite of the hotdog and said, "this is terrible". I had to take him to McDonald\'s after we left this place. He didn\'t even want to finish his Pepsi at this place it was so bad. I just don\'t understand how bad food has to be at other places for people to give this joint a positive review. Get out and try some other places people, your mouth and stomach will thank you. If you see this place, keep on going. Probably my mistake ordering a blackened chicken sandwich at a place known for burgers, but...\n\nDry, overcooked chicken breast with blackening spice sprinkled on AFTER cooking. I might try them again if I'm in the mood for a burger, but I'll pass on the chicken sandwich. |

We had a 6:30 Saturday reservation for 5, arrived on time, waited 10 minutes to be seated (the place was 30% filled.....now I know why). The theme for the night was "waiting". We waited another 10 minutes for a server to arrive, 10 more minutes for water to arrive, 10 more minutes for drinks to arrive. 45 minutes after arrival we were able to order appetizers, they arrived quickly....20 minutes!(gator bites, gumbo, seafood gumbo) all just OK. Ordered dinners when appetizers arrived (should have ordered sooner). Dinners arrived 40 minutes later. Dessert and checks took another 30 minutes. Over 2.5 hours for mediocre food and horrendous service. A "dining" experience I do not wish to duplicate. $ 100 dollars later, (for just my wife and I) we have realized that in Akron for Cajun it is Russo\'s or bust! Save your TIME and money and head up the road to Russo\'s and avoid this place. (The only reason this isn\'t 1 star is that my blackened catfish, smashed potatoes and collard greens were very good but most of the others dishes were lame at best). Being somewhat of a foodie who has spent plenty of time in some of the food meccas in the U.S., including New York, California, and Chicago, this is a very nice addition to the developing food scene/variety of food options in and around Akron. Delicious drinks, great atmosphere, good food. Would definitely recommend giving it a try. The food was delicious and portions are large. My dad had the bowl of gumbo and it was massive! None of us could imagine what the dinner portion must be. My only disappointment was the ratatouille. It was seasoned squash slices and carrots. Almost like a mixed vegetable. We were excited to try the beignets but they were sold out. I will go back for sure. Great food, atrocious service. We sat there for an hour and a half staring at empty drinks before walking out. Went there tonight for dinner. Love Cajun food. The Gumbo was very good. Dinner was fabulous! I got the steamer with shrimp and Crawfish wife got fried shrimp and lobster mac and cheese. It was so good. Made us think we were back in the deep south. We will be back. Unlike some other reviews our service was great also. Tim was our server. Thanks for taking of us.! |

We will definitely be back and recommended it. The best tacos in the area. For sure. Get the tripas tacos and sopes. Everything here is amazing I found Mr Leno's on yelp,looking for menudo for my husband. It was very close to us and I'm so glad we tried them. The staff was friendly and nice. It was clean and they had a nice variety on the menu. My husband had the menudo which he really liked. I tried the steak rancheros breakfast plate. It was very tasty. \nTheir drive through is open 24 hrs so I'm sure I'll be back soon. Great little treasure of a place. Even though I have only checked in to Mr. Leno\'s once. My wife and I come here on a regular basis for "let\'s get something quick" dinner. We found this restaurant to have authentic Mexican food in good qualities and reasonable price. We have no intention of Stopping going here. This is the greatest mexican fast food ive had since living back in san diego, ca. Staff is always friendly. there good, fast, and tasty. |

Only plus was the waitress who advised us to order less also liked the lemon water dipping bowl at the end to clean hands. Horrible customer service, food is ok but you get treated like crap. Avoid this Swiss chalet as you will be dissapointed Today I ordered for delivery cause I wanted chicken and the left overs were gone. It was delicious would definitely use them again:) although I don't think I'll get the buffalo butter on chicken next time Food was mediocre wish I went elsewhere.

The food is good but it is a bit on the expensive side for what you get. Nothing stood out about the place. It just kind of lacked that special something to make it stand out. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. I would probably go again if I was at Mandalay Bay and really needed to find something to eat as sushi is my favorite food. All in all there are much better and much cheaper sushi joints in Las Vegas. We spent $90 for 2 people and left still somewhat hungry. Oh. Yeah. I love me some sushi! The service at Mizuya was personable and efficient. And the sushi and sashimi quality was top notch. I had the mixed green salad with ginger dressing, Tiger Roll and Scallop sashimi. Delish! Mizuya is definitely on my food rotation when in Vegas. I absolutely fell in love with the yellowtail sashimi at this place! The salmon sashimi, not so much...too chewy. Only tried the shrimp tempura roll, which was fine too. But that yellowtail was great. YUM! We arrived to an almost empty restaurant and were quickly seated at our choice of tables. Our server Pen, arrived quickly and was very friendly. Our drinks came just as quick and she was able to take our order when she came back with our drinks. The food arrived within roughly 10 minutes. And was divine. I got the shrimp tempura roll and an eel roll which were both fresh and absolutely delicious. My husband got the teriyaki chicken bowl which he found to be just as delicious. He also tried the Demon Slayer sake and found it to be quite tasty. We finished our lunch with delicious mochi in strawberry and mango flavors . The prices were wonderful for being inside of Vegas casino. I would definitely come back here again and again. Amazing. Fish.\n\nMy buddies and I came here before hitting the Vegas nightlife, and boy were we pleased.\n\nSpicy scallop hand roll was amazing. If you like your fish spicy, this is a definite winner. The salmon sushi was really fresh, almost melting in my mouth. And the spicy tuna was really great too. All the spicy sauces weren't like any other sushi joint: instead of it just providing spicyness, it also packed a lot of flavor. \n\nWaiters were always refilling our water and really responsive. Price was reasonable for sushi in Vegas. I hate giving five stars, but I had no choice for this one. |

And I did!\n\nWe started with Fried Tofu in Soy Sauce. Everything about this was perfect. I have had too many Tofu Casserole/Hot Pot dishes in the past to count, but there's always something missing flavour wise. \n\nThis was totally on point. The Tofu to Sauce ratio was nice, and the addition of Auricularia (this super cool and weird Jelly Fungi) and Bok Choy made it a complete meal in and of itself.\n\nBut of course we got dumplings! Steamed ones with Shrimp and Leek, and Pork and Leek. \n\nI liked these better than my place in Scarborough because the wrapper and filling are a lot more delicate. Moreover, the Chili Sauce here is the bomb. It has a nice amount of heat to it, and mixed with Soy and Black Vinegar...NOM! \n\nIt's a bit of a trek for this Scarberian, but well worth it for the quality. I had beef dumplings I was not to sure about the beef. My husband had the soup and lamb, which he did not like. The lamb did not taste like lamb. We did not like the flavour. We had difficulty communicating with the waitress. However, the menu was very funny. one of the more authentic dumpling houses - don't come here and expect service, it's very much a sit down, order, eat and go kind of establishment. their dumplings are great and will. satisfy your cravings! of course, get the xiao long baos and i always get the pan fried pork dumplings with chives, that alone is plenty to keep me stuffed for the day. prices are very affordable. they are slow sometimes, so a reminder may be needed if you find that some of your dumps are taking longer than others. Some tasty Northern Chinese food. Relatively easy to find a seat for an early Sunday dinner, but come 7pm the place gets packed fast. \n\nHighly recommend the Beef Wrap! Its located within the Time Square Plaza. Please be sure to bring a Chinese (Cantonese Speaking) friend when coming here. English is not happening here. Show them pictures also helps. The service was good as i had a Chinese speaking friend who ordered everything. The food came out fast and piping hot good for dim sum. The place is very small like 25-30 people seating area. The main stuff we ordered is on the Dim Sum Menu. The pancake with Pork was delicious about $6 and the steam (12 pcs) dumplings were good too. Pan Fried Dumplings were good but very oily. The noodles with Beef also good. They take CASH ONLY. Be sure to bring enough and tip your waiting staff. Overall had a good meal here. Would come again! |

We ordered a bunch of dim sum plates and they were cheap and tasty. If you haven't been try it out. Speaking as a mere gweilo, this has got to be the best dim sum in town! The honest but cheerful cafeteria ambience (tea on tap!) lets the food speak for itself. And speak it does, in connoisseur-cantonese. Steam rising off the signature har gow is the curtain rising on a cast of dim sum characters, that enter stage right, in deliciously familiar clouds of moist heat. Taro chicken, shiu mai, shao mai, pai gwat, chun guun and so much more. Yum sing I say to you! Yum yum! I have eaten dim sum many times. Came here today after seeing a nice score on yelp with a friend. Ordered the very typical dim sum food, ha gow, siu Mai, chicken feet, curry cuttlefish, and beef ho fun stir fried. Unfortunately, nothing appeared to be amazing. Everything seemed to taste off and actually not authentic even though made by asians. \nThe chicken feet had a soapy after taste and the cuttlefish had no flavour, just super fishy and smelt like bleach.\nThe worst part was that the beef ho fun was SO BURNT. Took two bites and left it there. The old lady waiter asked us if we wanted a takeout box but it was so unedible we said no. We didn\'t want to cause any trouble since she was so nice from the beginning. However she asked if it tasted okay, and we told her it was burnt after we paid. She told the male chef that we said it was burnt, and he said outloud "IT\'S NOT BURNT IT\'S GOLDEN". Little did he know we speak Cantonese and it was BLACK. By all means if you want to eat golden go ahead. I don\'t want to risk my life eating carcinogenic burnt food. \n\nForgot to take pics of the food for the gram but after eating it good thing I didn\'t. I\'d rather travel farther to get real dim sum. I love dim sum. This is one of my favourite dim sum place as its in a convenient location (just a few steps from Donlands station) and pricing is reasonable. A plate of dim sum starts from $2.90. Depending what you order. \nIts fresh, fast and affordable pricing with good portions.\nThey also have dishes served apart from dim sum like long green bean str fry with black beans served with rice which is my favourite. \nThey have a self serve style which you order and pay at the counter and they will bring you the food. Chinese tea and water is situated at a corner for self replenishment. Its a quick, fuss-free self serve style of dim sum. Bonus is, they do delivery too. I love dim sum, but living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania doesn't give me much variety. Ha Gow's food was flawlessly prepared, the staff was warm and helpful, and i enjoyed trying some new things. |

My family and I are regulars here, and for good reason: the seafood selection is outstanding, the dishes are fresh and flavourful, and service is wonderfully attentive. \n\nOmei is perhaps best known for their lobster dishes, and for those seeking to enter the realm of lobster-sans-butter, it don\'t get better than this. On our most recent visit, we went with a 9 lb. lobster that they first bring out on a massive tray, live. It\'s always a reason for people to bust out their camera phones and also reminds you just how fresh the seafood is. The next time we see the big guy, he\'s done up 4 ways: (1) cut up "oyster" style with thin strips of green onion, (2) cooked up in a wok - or pan - in a more traditional Chinese style with the dressings (3) deep fried in batter with crispy chilies and noodle crisps - my fave, and (4) fried rice made with the delicious green "brains" of the lobster. \n\nOn the side, we had a piping hot bowl of brothy soup on a gas stove made with a whole fish, veggies, tofu, and beef strips (for the vegetarian in our clan, we ordered an all vegetarian soup), and we also indulged in some traditional white chicken with glistening bok choy on the side.\n\nThe fun doesn\'t stop here though - their desserts keep the party rolling. A choice of 2 dessert soups (no basic red bean to be seen here!) is served up with a plate of mini mochi balls stuffed with sesame, and another plate of delicious mango mochi-esque creations rolled in coconut. \'Cause we were there a birthday, they also went ahead and steamed a plate of traditional celebratory buns, served up with an enthusiastic English and Chinese rendition of \'Happy Birthday\'.\n\nThe damage? For the 6 of us it worked out to about $50 per person with tax and tip, and we were stuffed, even 2 hours later. \n\nGet here. Early if you can (on weekends its a full house by 7:30pm). You won\'t be disappointed. The food is excellent especially the lobster dishes. However when I went there with a friend their menu is all in Chinese and my friend and I could not read the menu because we don't read or speak Chinese. We have asked for an English menu but the server said they didn't have one! ?! So we told him what we wanted and he pretty much did the ordering for us. The dishes were pretty good however I would recommend you go with someone who speaks or read chinese because it would be a challenge to order otherwise. Me and my boyfriend visited Omei last night, upon arrival it was very busy because of Chinese New Year, so we waited about 30 mins for a table for 2. \nThe hostess was very nice and aplogized for the long wait. We sat down took a quick look at the menu, but we both craved lobster, so we ordered the lobster "special" two 1.5 lobsters seasoned with ginger and scallion for $80. About 10 mins later the food came out hot and fresh and we dug in. Food was very delicious!!! Although it was on the pricey side (two drinks and lobster special with everything included came to $119) \nIts okay though as I dont mind splurging once in awhile, overall quality was good. I would deffinately visit again.. maybe try something new next time :) Took them a while to get our food out but it was very busy on a Monday night so I could maybe understand.\n\nWe had excellent food. I forget what we got persay (problem with them writing dishes in chinese and me not being able to read chinese...) but everything we got was excellent! I have been here many times over the years of visiting Canada and have always had great food there and if you get dessert, i know it's odd getting dessert at a chinese place that isn't that powdery tasting red bean soup, you will not be disappointed. Try the mango dessert or the puff balls. They also have a purple rice soup which is pretty good too. \n\nYou will like this place for sure. They do offer this crazy 8 lb lobster cooked 4 ways with various pieces. It is super expensive like 150? But I don't know if it's worth it per say. I did not have it but if you like lobster, order it for your entire meal, it looked really cool though :)\n\nhidden gem: If you pay in cash sometimes you get a discount :) A seafood convert!\n\nI didn't have much expectations when I came here since I am not big on seafood and this place has made me a convert. We were here for my girlfriend's father's birthday and the service and food was exceptional.\n\nWe ordered the lobster cooked 4 ways (steamed, deep fried, stir fried and in fried rice) and they were all great. There are 6 of us, so the lobster that we got was pretty massive and at the end of the day, it was roughly $400 for 6 adults. Comes with 4 types of desserts that you can get more of and we also ordered two additional dishes (they weren't necessary).\n\nThe service was top notch. The server noticed that we were passing around a birthday card and asked if there was a birthday and at the end of the meal, the servers got together and sang a song for us and gave us traditional Chinese birthday buns for free. The server also noticed that we didn't get one of the desserts and quickly went to the back and got some fresh ones for us (they were deep frying them at the time).\n\nI wouldn't hesitate returning here for a seafood meal. |

They make an alright burrito, if lacking in some flavour. I like that they have gone outside of the usual traditional offerings and thrown in some interesting options (I should have tried the noodles instead of rice, but wanted a level playing field). They seem to have a thing for hot sauce, which I also appreciate, and you can buy some of their hot ghost peppers if you're feeling brave enough to cook with them yourself.\n\nIf they get the meat seasoning improved, they could still hold their own I think. Still a few kinks to work out. Absolutely love this place. The flavours are amazing. The service is great. The servers talk to you and make you feel comfortable. If you are new to Burritos, they help you decide which type of burrito do you like. \nThe owner of the place is amazing.. he would come to you and ask what are the changes we would like. Would recommend a new flavour would ask question related to it, if you like it or not. Love the service here. I've been to a few of the other locations and this one meets and exceeds all customer service needs. Friendly, patient, funny...do I need to continue singing the staffs praises...I think you get the picture. \n\nThey have 3 sizes of burritos; Lil, big and huge!! \nI ordered the shrimp burrito, a big!! Cause I got a BIG appetite. \n\nAs usual it was delicious, they even added some more noodles..oh they have noodles btw. Yumm! Where was I? They added noodles cause I didn't want some of the toppings. Wohoo! Other fat bastard locations would never do that! \n\nAlright back to enjoying the remainder of my yelpin' long weekend. \n\nCheers Ordered a chicken naked burrito through uber eats. Not only does the chicken taste bland but they managed to forget to put lettuce in. Not happy. Very filling, tons of ingredients to choose from. Staff was very friendly and welcoming since I mentioned it was my first time trying their restaurant. |

Unpretentious. Everything is made from scratch. Service is amazing. Lots of small plates. Great wine deals... Definitely worth a trip. I have had lunch at Pinos's several times probably at least 5 times. Usually I am there for a business lunch when I am in the area. I find that we are well served, not rushed and the noise level is not too loud at lunch We have several times asked the Chef to make us some special version of his menu and we are always accommodated. To me this is excellent service. Makes you feel like coming back.\nI would have to admit that I usually order the garlic fries which are really great. I do this if I am not going back to the office or out to meet a client.\nNormally I would add a soup of the day which are always nice, and a sandwich of the day. \nI have never been disappointed and certainly would continue to conduct business lunches here. Pino's has been very reliable and dependable in all aspects. I would make it 3 1/2 stars. OK. As you can see, I gave Pino's a Four Star review. Also, please notice that this is a two part review.\nPart One:\nLast night was my first night at Pino's. The interior is warm and inviting and a seat by the windows was great. We got there when they just opened so there was still some prep work going on and for me that's just fine. Ordered a Makers Mark Manhattan and I have to say that it was one of a very few that ranked as excellent! The only problem was that the cherry was stemless and had a pit, which, for my dining companion, was a BIG surprise. The bread and Sundried Tomato spread was excellent.\nFor Starters, I had the evening special Chicken Liver Mousse which was presented on French toast rounds and accompanied by a pickled slaw with dried cherries. It was very pleasant and a good choice. For an Entree I chose the Braised Beef Sugo, which was a portion of numerous slices of braised beef served over linguini and covered with the braising liquid. All of the pastas were fresh and made in house. The beef was pull apart tender, but very under-salted. There were also no salt or pepper shakers to be seen and also no ground pepper offered by the server. I would have liked the chance to season my meal to my taste...not the chefs.\nFor dessert, I had the chocolate mousse with berries. The mousse was a textural surprise for me. Instead of light and fluffy, it was more of an ice cream consistency. Very low on sweetness but all the same very enjoyable.\n\nNow, Part Two:\n\nIf you're going to serve pasta dishes for $25.00 plus, You need to re-appraise your status and classification. The restaurant tends to lean more towards upscale but at a better, affordable price point. The interior is attractive, there are linens on the tables, the candles were very clever with the flame surrounded by coffee beans and the service was very good. \n Things that I think should be considered are:\n-New choice of cherries for bar drinks. Hopefully w/o pits, or at least a verbal warning from the server.\n-Salt and pepper shakers on the tables. Swallow your pride. Not every meal is going to be placed in front of someone sharing your same taste buds.\n-Coffee. The coffee was great. Usually I take cream and sugar but I was able to drink this coffee black just like a grown-up.\n-Cream. Really? Little plastic creamers? Really? You're selling noodles for $25.00 and you can't present the coffee course with a bit more panache? Spring for some inexpensive metal creamers and perhaps present it with the sugars on a small tray with the beverage.\n- The Disco Menu Board. What is usually reserved to announce the nightly Beer, Wing and Rib Platter is used here to tell, I don't know who, about tonight's specials. All painstakingly hand written by an employee who possesses excellent calligraphic skills. All, of course, done in vivid day-glo colors which screams at you when the black light is turned on.\nWhy not try a simple frame with easy rear access to just hang a copy of the specials with a title of ...maybe...Tonight's Selections. Keep a few spaced out on the bar for any patrons having a pre-dinner cocktail.\nIf you insist on keeping this Twentieth Century example of advanced technology, then why not mount one of those singing fish right above it.\n\nI really did enjoy my experience at Pino's, but I think you reached your goal a while back but kept over doing and adding to an already spot on formula. Great food for a busy Saturday night. Everything was fast and fresh. Flatbread pizza was delicious. I've been to this restaurant twice -- once for lunch and once for dinner. The lunch experience was not noteworthy in a positive or negative sense. Pretty middle-of-the-road. The flatbread pizza I shared with a friend was very yummy. The true colors came out at dinner. \n\nThe service was TERRIBLE. There were three servers for the entire restaurant, which was insufficient. And the food took forever. We ordered a roasted vegetable platter appetizer, which was delish. After that, it all went down hill. Two of us ordered salads and one ordered a pasta dish. It took an inordinately long time for three simple (and mostly cold) meals to arrive. The salads were fair at best. It was a lot of lettuce and not much else. \n\nWe are not planning to return any time soon. We actually ended up there only because there was a wait at the (significantly better) Point Brugge down the block. In retrospect, we should have spent our time waiting there for better food and better service than for what we ended up with a Pino's. |

Ruby Tuesday's has always sort've blown me away when it comes to how hard they try to not be a TGI Fridays clone but yet still fail miserably. The food at Ruby Tuesday's is predictably average with service that varies from piss-poor to pretty darned good.\n\nMost recently I enjoyed the Ruby's Minis (sliders) at the bar and the wife enjoyed a broccoli and cheese soup and the salad bar. The soup was salty and not great but the salad bar and sliders were yummy. Plus, they have dos XX lager (not amber) on tap which is a rare and tasty find!\n\nHooray for Tuesdays on a Monday..errr..or something. I ate here cause it was New Years eve and I needed a place to eat quick to energize myself before a night of heavy partying. They had some $1 beer specials and the mini burgers and fries were not too bad . This place is just too dark and dingy though. I would give it 2 1/2 stars. I wasn't a very big fan of Ruby Tuesday's, but I am still sad to see it closed, just another Mill Ave memory. The salad bar was sub par at best, but they did have decent turkey burgers. They had really cheap drinks for happy hour, but the atmosphere in the place was so crappy it wasn't worth chugging them down there. I'm surprised Ruby held on as long as she did on Mill. I saw their commercial and looked at the menu online. It looked decent enough. Total meal was $50.00 for three people and the food was AWFUL. My daughter's burger was dry, my steak was oily and greasy and my wife's spaghetti squash had a nasty sauce. My wife also had the salad bar and she said that was bad too. The little muffins they serve you were the best part of the meal. I eat out quite a bit and love places like Chipotle, Salt Cellar, Vincitorios, Flemmings and many others but this place is terrible. I'm just hoping I don't get sick this evening. You've been warned. We went this afternoon- nobody was there, but I figure that the superbowl and golf were to blame. We both had burgers and I had a salad too. I thought the bugers were good, and the salad bar was beautiful. (Very nice presentation, instead of the usual buckets burried in ice). The fries were peppery, which were a bit spicy for my baby, but I liked them. Server was nice and attentive. |

So good! I really liked the decor and how clean the place was. The counter help was very friendly and knew customers by name. Nice! Will go back! Just placed an order for the barberry rice and chicken- picked up the food and found beef and plain rice. Not only did they give me the wrong food, bit charged me too & I can't even eat this. Totally disappointed. Called the lady and told her, she just said I have your number I will call you tomorrow. Wow, quite unprofessional. Not ordering from here again. This place is delicious! Certainly on par with some of the better "kebob" places in town. I only say four stars because there is a place I like better. If this is close to you, I\'d recommend it - and check groupon! Seemed a little empty when we stopped in, but I eat later than most. have definitely had better middle eastern food. I got a greek salad and falafel appetizer, husband had the falafel sandwich. Greek salad is just like any greek salad you would find anywhere else, with olives, feta, onion, romaine and a salad dressing that probably came from Costco. Nothing unique about it. Falafels were bland - crispy on the outside but dry and brown on the inside. Falafels should be flavorful and the inside should be green from including parsley and green onions in the recipe. nothing special. They never disappoint. Stopped in with my friend today and ordered the lamb and rice. The portion was large enough to take home for a second meal. Lamb cooked to perfection and rice was on point as well. I highly recommend adding the sumac to the rice and meat, adds a nice flavor. Everything on the menu from the saffron ice cream to the main dish is always perfections |

They have changed a new waiter at lunch time and his service is terrible. We have been wait for 20 mins, and he has no intention to serve us as we arrived at 1.15 pm and they are closed at 2 pm. What we need is a table clean up, so that we can sit down and start reading the menu. Is it a unreasonable request from us? Waiter told us that we have to wait for at least 20 mins before he can clean up the table, and indeed we are the only group (3 people) waiting.....\n\nWorst service ever, it suck. Will never go back again. I had heard many times this is the best place for sushi in Calgary but my trip had been delayed since every time I made an attempt, it was closed for a holiday or other reasons.\n\nSo, today, without warning, I quickly drove on my lunch hour to Wa's at the corner of 17th Av NW and Centre St N, one small block north of 16th Av NW (AB 1) and Centre St N.\n\nAs may have been previously mentioned, the parking lot, she is almost non-existent with a 7-8 space parking lot but luckily, 17th Av NW has street parking of the 2 hour variety.\n\nOnce I parked, I entered through 2 doors to the main eating area. It's a small, cozy, reasonably quiet, and friendly sort of establishment. I was greeted very quickly though the waiter did not bother to rattle off the days specials but he saw me eyeing that as I walked in so he was smart enough not to repeat/rehash that.\n\nI chose to go with the 6 piece Stampeder Roll with ebi shrimp, avocado, and other assorted fish, a 4 piece version of the House Roll instead of the 8 piece which has tuna, imitation crabmeat, masago on the outside. I finished that off with a Spicy Tuna handroll or cone (pick your verbage). The best Spicy Tuna cone ever.. ever, nice spice and flavour.\n\nGood choice for a first-time at this establishment.\n\nIt is a little pricy for the quantity but the quality is very high. You don't leave feeling empty or non-satisfied.\n\nSo far, the only sushi place that comes close in quality but it is about 25% cheaper is Towa Sushi on 4th St SW.\n\nThis is definitely the premier sushi establishment in Calgary at this time; I would highly recommend this for a 1st or 2nd date.\n\nMy next trip will be more costly as I want to try some of their sashimi. I saw the customer behind me's stash of sashimi and it look simply divine.\n\nIt is one hour later and I can still taste my prize. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. We had a bit of time so we decided to sit and chat and enjoy our meal. But that didn't happen.\n\nWe ordered some sushi, and was thinking about ordering another round but the sushi was not very fresh (a bit expensive for the quality we got). What ruined it was the table right behind us was talking very very loud (this is a very small restaurant...even if you sat at the far end you would still hear them). To be fair, the noise was not the restaurant's fault, but we went on Friday evening dinner time and the quality of the fish was pretty disappointing. We ended up leaving early (coz I was having a headache from the noise) with half-empty stomachs and went to McDonalds after. My favourite restaurant in the city. \n\nThe sushi chef has the most amazing skill - you can taste it in the way he slices the fish. I tried chirashi sushi don - wow! Sweet raw scallops, red and regular tuna, melt in your mouth salmon. Nice subtle touches like caviar, carved cucumber pieces, tamago slivers, etc. What a selection of incredible seafood. Also shared the tempura - never had tempura so fluffy and delicate. Drool. We've been at least one a month for the past 3 years, and we've never had a bad meal. The owner/chef is there every day to ensure great quality.\n\nComplimentary green tea is wonderful - you can taste the nuttiness of it.\n\nService is always a delight. Can't wait to return. Worthy of every penny. I noticed most complaints revolve around the rolls. Personally, I can't say to much about that because all I eat at Wa's is sashimi. \n\nLunch is a fantastic deal. I would eat here every day if I could. Wa's offers sashimi lunch box that includes a generous amount of assorted fish, rice, miso soup, salad and a daily special dish for $14.00. Itadakimasu!\n\nI\'ve been carefully avoiding Japanese food since I moved home from Japan a few months ago since I knew it would only end in disappointment, but the time finally came one hungry night in Calgary. My husband had read good things about Wa\'s, so we headed over and were seated immediately on a Sunday evening. \n\nWe only ordered nigiri sushi and maki, so my review is only on that, and I have to say I was quite pleased. For those ordering by the piece, note that unlike most sushi-yas in Japan, the prices are by the piece, not for a two piece set of nigiri. Also, be sure to check the chalkboard for the day\'s specials. Fresh fish of any kind should dominate your choices for the day, even above favourites. \n\nThe fish was fresh and flavourful, for the most part. The best item was the scallop, which we ordered more of immediately. The salmon left us wanting, which is not the case, but it was not as fatty as we like. The anago was tender and soft, yet very flavourful. Definitely recommend that. \n\nAs far as rice (shari), which is the real hallmark of a good sushi joint (let\'s face it, in today\'s global world, good fish is just an airplane shipment away), it was a bit dry and grainy - not as pillowy as I wanted. But it was well seasoned and not gummy or completely falling apart, so it was acceptable.\n\nThe maki rolls were imaginative, but some were not well executed. The "Flames" roll was a bit too spicy and overwhelmed the fish. The tempura in another roll was really excellent, and enough to make me consider ordering some on my next visit. But the nori was fresh on all of them, and proved that they had been rolled to order, or atleast not too long before they were served. \n\nThe service was up and down. We did not receive a "Irrashaimase!!" from the staff upon entering the restaurant like all the other patrons, and unlike all the other tables, we did not get hashioki for our chopsticks. They questioned if we knew the difference between anago and unagi twice... but the food spoke for itself, so I am willing to put up with some slanted service if they think we are sushi newbs. \n\nWhen I lived in Japan I loved saying "This is pretty good...for Japan." on western dishes. Now that I\'m home, I find I say "This is pretty good...for Canada." Wa\'s definitely qualifies, especially with it\'s better than average nihon-shu selection. It\'s good, but God help you if you need to find truly excellent sushi on the prairies. Best to book a flight to Narita... |

Had the pork schnitzel very tender and tasty. For desert the baked Alaska mini was recommended by our waitress, great choice. Was with friends so made with good food and good friends very nice night out. Had lunch here recently. Happy to support the legion. Found the menu to be a little bit limited, and the server knowledge was lacking. Meals were good, but they need to brush up on a few things. We went here for brunch a few weeks back. During stampede week actually. The staff were still working on switching up seating arrangements inside but we sat out on the patio. The staff were awesome, very attentive to our two little kids, 5 and 2. Had brunch. Both of us had eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and it was delicious, with loads of hollandaise sauce. I don't remember what the kids had but I'm pretty sure we ended up taking some home since the portions were really good. Will go back for sure. Second time going:\nOk, went back again and now totally turned off, unfortunately. Had to update my review because it was completely opposite. We got there right at the beginning of the Sunday brunch rush and the staff were a scattered because they totally weren\'t prepared for a rush. I ordered the same meal as last time, the salmon eggs benny. Last time it was on a homemade biscuit and was delicious. This time it was on an English muffin and was meh. Our kids got the kids Farm. One egg "any style" + bacon and has browns, with a kids pop. We asked if they could get something else to drink and we\'re told it doesn\'t come with a drink. Huh? We left it because our kids were fine with water anyway. Then we ordered one of their eggs fried and one boiled. The waiter said they couldn\'t do a fried egg ... HUH? But over easy was an option ... isn\'t that the same thing? Maybe not but come on. Then we were told a boiled egg was also not in the system but he could do two eggs over easy. Seriously?? The waiter was nice but come on man! Figure this stuff out. Oh and the background music was terrible. The acoustics are bad in there anyway because it\'s all glass windows for walls on one side, big open space and super high ceilings but the speakers were cracking on the bass. It was like when you have speakers hooked up to iTunes and don\'t adjust the equalizer - how do people not notice that. It sounds terrible. Won\'t be back for a while until they get some more kinks worked out. It\'s too bad because we live super close.\n\nFirst review:\nWe went here for brunch a few weeks back.

Really wanted to love this place but was very disappointed. Ordered house made chips to start. Massive portion of ok chips and nice dip. Had the beef stroganoff but found it flavourless. Pasta was ok but a bit too el dente for me. A bit of salt and pepper and a beefier flavour would have been welcome. Husband had shepherds pie. He said it was ok but didn't like the chips on top instead of mashed potatoes. Neither meal was particularly hot. Cocktails were good and servers were very good. Only two salsa on the menu - Cesar with kale and the other two had arugula and since I don't like kale or arugula I passed. Menu is small so should be well prepared and flavoured. Was a Sunday evening and they had been closed from 2 pm to 5 pm so there was only 1 other customer when we arrived. Filled up gradually while we were there. Limited parking and not well marked entrance. Patio is facing Kensington road so is a bit noisy. \nOverall really disappointed so will not return. |

The meal, taste wise was fantastic. The portions, however were very underwhelming. I had to stop at McDonald's on the way home to completely satisfy my hungry. The restaurant was not well lit, but some may like the atmosphere it creates. i started off with rating joey mv with 5 stars. my experience dropped to a 4 stars when there was "something" in my soup that didnt belong. i didnt make a big deal about it. i simply had my lovely server megan replace my soup. it came out quickly & hotter than the previous bowl. once again i found another piece of "something" in my 2nd bowl. i had also swallowed a smaller piece and threw up in the bathroom. while i was gone, my friend had my 2nd soup taken away. as i returned, the mod came by, introduced herself (sarah) & with great contrition, she handled the incidents. she had informed us of comping our drinks (1 virgin caesar & a classic mojito) & insisted i enjoy a meal from her (which i did). we appreciate the efforts she had shown to make our visit more enjoyable. through out our meal she did come back and check up on us and our food. megan and sarah were very both very pleasant & i really appreciate the extra steps taken to rectify the mishaps. \n\neverything turned out great until i was informed that the "something" in my soup was actually a piece of "onion" that had been mis-peeled & prepped. i understand she wanted to "give me a peace of mind" but at this point, my experience had just dropped down to 2 stars. now, i dont know what kind of specialty onion or organic onion was used where after being cooked in a SOUP would still be hard, have sharp pointy edges & not tear/break after i try to bite into it. Who doesnt know the difference between plastic and onions? So at that point i felt like my intelligence was greatly insulted. im no professional chef but i do cook (at home, worked in kitchens before & love soups), but never have i ever came across "onions" that are still hard w.sharp pointy edges after being stewed/simmered in a soup!!! i wish i had their chef come tell me that face to face. how disappointing when the great steps they had taken to brighten my experience, now turns to "you dont know onions from plastic".\n\n there could have been a huge law suit headed their way. i could easily drop the review to a 1 star, but im not here to tear places down or scope out free meals & drinks. i just want businesses to succeed and flourish. joey has always had great food & service. theyre known for that! and thats why i love going there. i will still come to joey after this bad encounter. no hard feelings but i just hope the kitchen prep team takes extra caution when cutting up bags/ingredients...\n\n***service: 5/5 hands down!\nthe hostess is super cheerful & smiley. greeted us immediately and sat us quickly. didnt catch her name though..\n megan (our waitress) is super friendly, delightful and pleasant.\nsarah (the mod) is very also very cheerful, polite & definately competent of her title.\n\n***food: 5/5 always!\nfilet minion (medium rare) w.crispy potatoes & daily veggies (grilled asparagus)\ngrilled salmon w.crispy potatoes & daily veggies as well\n\nfood cooked perfectly all the way through.\nthough the fully loaded crispy potatoes threw me off because i had imagined a baked potatoe (well done) but its actually more of a fried springroll filled w.buttery fluffy mash. tasted really good! maybe a little more salt/pepper w.roasted garlic or some dill inside them to boost the flavours would be nice.\n\n***this visit\'s experience: 2/5.\n\n***atmosphere/cleanliness: 5/5 always clean. washrooms, floors, dining areas, bar and booth\n\ni have some guests visiting from the states in a few weeks and do plan on bringing them to joeys. Elegant and classy decor, dim atmosphere and very beautiful waitresses. Had reservations for 9pm, and arrived early, so a couple of us decided to have a few drinks at the bar (which is located in the center of the restaurant) The waitresses/bartenders were drop dead gorgeous, friendly, and made us feel very welcomed. They had a nice light lager on tap from Muskoka brewries: $5.75/pint. My eyes led astray from the tempting waitresses as I watched the San Francesco 49ers vs San Diego Chargers on the many bright flat screen TVs. I really enjoyed the meal I ordered which was the Steak and Sushi (Japanese surf & turf, tataki style, CAB prime steak, ponzu sauce, and rainbow roll.) My steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the ponzu sauce was oh so flavorful. I will definitely be paying a visit to this place, next time I'm in the area. pretty satisfied with my recent visit here. service was pretty good and the meals were good. ordered 5 dishes for 3 ppl and it was just the right amount. \n\nyellowfin tuna salad- 3/5, wasn't a big fan but that's just because i don't really like salads, however my parents did enjoy it\n\nbaja fish tacos- 5/5, so yummy the perfect fish taco the sauce is a little spicy \n\nspanish paella- 4/5, good, but a little bit bland especially the rice \n\nravioli with lobster cream- 5/5, delicious ravioli the lobster sauce is good but can get a bit too heavy when u eat too much but still good and i was able to finish everything \n\nnew york steak- 3/5, average-below average steak, i mean they don't specialize in steak ofc so didn't have high expectations and wouldn't order it again but they had these mashed potato spring rolls that came with the steak and it was sooooo good definitely 5/5 never had anything like it before The atmosphere of the place is great. The waiters/waitress are extremely nice. However, the food is on the higher price considering the food you will receive. The steak and sushi was around 30 after tax and tips and an average girl like me wouldn't even get full on it. You get a few pieces of the steak with sushi on the side. The steak was super salty and no where to my likings. I also got the sweet potato fries priced around $12 after tax and tips which would be considered on a higher price since you do get a really small portion. Overall, I would say that their food are all on the saltier side and I might consider going back just to try other things but for now, searching for a better restaurant seems better priority. |

Decent prices and staff is friendly. Wish you got more refills though! Decent food. Not what we expected from a "Greek" restaurant but the service was good and she kept on top of our drinks. Overall was a decent place, just don\'t think I\'ll return. Not the best food option in Denver. Okay for fast food, but nothing more. Watch out for hair in the chicken salad; way gross. Food is always great, even when requesting changes to menu items or combos, and the customer service is always on point. I literally just walked out of this showmars and will never return. I ordered a shrimp platter special with extra fries instead of coleslaw and literally got the same amount of fries that I would have gotten with coleslaw. On top of that there was barely any shrimp! Not to mention the manager did not even offer an apology for it and couldn't even open her mouth to speak to me, but instead halfway nodded yes to the amount of food in the box. I will not return. Each time I come to this location, I get less and less food, but order the same exact entree. Won't be back. |

Food was decent, I would give more stars if just for the food. Especially my friend\'s gnocchi in a rose sauce. But the issue with this place was not so much the food as what happened. We were on the patio, 3 families, 2 kids, and the kids were playing around after the meal. There was no one else on the patio, except this older man and his dog, and the owner\'s (grand)daughter (?). So our kids started to play with her, and all of them were having a lovely time. Until my son got bitten on the face by this old man\'s little wiener dog. His lip and forehead were bleeding. He is 4 years old, and does not approach dogs on his own. The owner\'s (grand)daughter (?) was nice enough to bring my son a napkin with water to wash off his cuts, and shared some of her own candy with him. She is 6. The owners did nothing. After my friend went to complain inside about why a dog is on a restaurant patio and threatened to report it, they asked him to tie the dog up off the patio. Which he did, and then was brought a complimentary beer!! The owner of the dog was downright horrid and rude, and when we tried to check the dog\'s tags to make sure he was up-to-date on his shots, we were told to "get out of here". He started swearing and being rude and belligerent about it in front of the kids (ages, 4, 5 & 6). As soon as I left with my son, they let him bring the dog back on the patio apparently. The owner\'s (grand)daughter (?) told us that the same dog had "almost" bitten her before too. So if you see a grumpy old man (he seems to be a regular there) with a little wiener dog on the patio, keep yourself and your kids away from it!! By far the worse lasagna I've ever had in my life!!! It was citrusy for some reason... The picture menu specifies lasagna and salad but they only give you a lasagna... With a stale piece of bread!!! Very disappointed So awful. Roughest balsamic ever burns the salad, the spaghetti is drowned in CANNED clams, the pizza Margherita plate size is a McCain-style cheese pizza without the freezer-burn. But the people are sweet, the portions plentiful (If you can eat it we just couldnt) and the house white is served to the brim in a serious glass. This is my next addition to my Best of St. Clair West list but I\'m hesitant to rave about this place not because it isn\'t worth the four stars, but because I don\'t want to let the secret out. \n\nI don\'t want to tell you about the chicken sangwiches. You won\'t like the homemade sauce (on the side so the bread survives the walk home), the tender chicken cutlets or the just crusty enough bread. You might even hate the melted cheese and sauteed mushrooms topping that I always get. \n\nDon\'t even bother with the pizza. You\'ll encounter more delicious homemade sauce on top of a crust that is neither too thick or thin (I think their secret is pre-baking them). A terrible combination of toppings is green olives and bacon. \n\nYour dogs will hate you for bringing them to the take-out door because sometimes they get some fresh pepperoni thrown their way if they perform their tricks.\n\nYou especially don\'t want to order on Tuesdays when there is a discount on the take-out.\n\nIn the words of the famous Canadian serial commercials, "you won\'t like it". |

It has a nice deck on the street, so it gives customers to eat inside or "sur la terrasse". \n\nI ordered the teriyaki bowl with rice. It was good, kind of Americanized Japanese food, but it was not bad for $9.99. I should had gotten the Pad Thai (which someone next to our table got)...it looked great, it was a larger portion and it was also $9.99.\n\nGood attentive service with a smile ! This place has awful food. The delivery guy was nice, and the packaging was cute-ish. That is all. The food sucked so bad. I ordered a tom yum soup which was just unseasoned broth with a few chopped tomatoes thrown in. Oh well, I said to myself, because many places seem to screw up tom yum. I moved onto the general tao chicken. It was fried chicken pieces with a tiny bit of hoisin sauce on the side in a container. Seriously. I can't say for sure, but I honestly think the rice was leftovers from last night cause a quarter of it had a spritz of soya sauce on them and they were mushy and everything, everything was cold. Man, step up your game and show some respect to your customers or you'll shut down. Je serais tent\xc3\xa9 de dire que ce restaurant repr\xc3\xa9sente la version moderne des restos chinois de mon enfance... \xc3\x87a n\'a pas grand chose d\'authentique, les plats se contentant d\'\xc3\xa9voquer ceux que l\'on sert en Asie (de toute l\'Asie, qui plus est: du japonais au sch\xc3\xa9chuanais en passant par la Mongolie), mais en plus am\xc3\xa9ricanis\xc3\xa9 et criard au niveau des saveurs.\nEt \xc3\xa7a donne quoi?\nMa foi, c\'est loin d\'\xc3\xaatre mauvais! Chaque plat est servi avec une bonne portion de l\xc3\xa9gumes, dont la cuisson est parfaite, c\'est \xc3\xa0 dire qu\'ils sont cuits mais toujours croquants sous la dent. Un bon choix de viandes marin\xc3\xa9es et pan\xc3\xa9es (panure croutillante \xc3\xa0 souhait). Le service est extr\xc3\xaamement attentionn\xc3\xa9 et courtois. \xc3\x87a c\'est pour les plus.\nPour les moins: On pourrait y aller un peu plus mollo sur les sauces, souvent trop sucr\xc3\xa9es et abondantes \xc3\xa0 mon go\xc3\xbbt... On avait m\xc3\xaame envoy\xc3\xa9 un jet de sauce Hoisin sur mon riz blanc, alors qu\'il y en avait d\xc3\xa9j\xc3\xa0 trop sur mon "boeuf mongolien". Le riz \xc3\xa9tait d\'ailleurs plut\xc3\xb4t ordinaire...

I actually liked the old look, the building was unique and stood out. But hey, I came to eat not stare at the building. Ha! The food here never fails! Need a good lunch, a meal befor going out or somewhere after a car show (am I showing my age? Lol) this is your place!! If your counting calories, stop it and come do your mouth a favor! You will not be disappointed! On our last visit we spent about $50 for 3 people which seems overpriced since it's more like a fast food restaurant. The food was decent, not worth what we paid for, I would normally rate this as three stars but I was very disappointed at the fact that there was a $2 fee for using my debit card! Most places usually change $.35 or $.50 but $2 is ridiculous!! If you come here, BRING CASH! After seeing the "Happy Halloween $1.00 tacos" advertisement (see attached photo), my coworker offered to pick up tacos for our entire workgroup. She took everyone\'s orders and their cash. When she arrived at the restaurant, they told her that not all of the tacos were $1.00, only the "general tacos". Note that "general tacos" is not defined in the advertisement. When my coworker asked the manager-on-duty, Rosie, for help Rosie said "You\'re lucky that you\'re even getting a sale because we don\'t have to do it." My coworker had to pay out of her own pocket to cover the cost on the spot (see attached photo of receipt). My coworker is upset because this is a business that she\'d been going to for years. Today is the last day that any of us will do business there. This place has the BEST Tacos Al Pastor in town. Had been coming to this place since 1990 when my family and I first moved to Phoenix. Since then I'd been trying other places but nothing compares to this place's tacos Al Pastor. Another one of my fave are the tacos de tripa and lengua. I hadn't have menudo here for a few years because I live far from this place but if menudo still tastes as I remember them it's so worth for you to try it if your some where near by early on the weekends. I found a rock in my tripa taco and chipped my tooth . It looks like a tooth or rock. I am disgusted right now I will be there after work to speak to manager. - I talked to someone and he said they got a bad batch of meat but were still selling the tacos so I really don't understand. |

It's old school Glendale Mexican comfort food. Yes it's dark and seems dated inside, but that's because it is both of those things. As long as that doesn't dissuade you, it's a must try. The food was good as well as the service. By making my own Hot sauce was able to get the hotness I like!!! Chips were fresh and great. The taco on the bussiness mans plate was top notch! Only thing that wasnt top notch was the decor and the seating space. Eat there with my family once a week. Great staff always friendly, excellent service, and the food is amazing. Best chips and salsa in the Phoenix area. The price is very affordable, your getting a lot of bang for your buck at this establishment. Will continue to come back at least once a week as their prices are great. Our family has has been coming to Pedro's for three generations. When our kids come into town they always make sure to visit Pedro's at least once. The salsa and chips are great. The shredded beef taco is always a favorite as is the open faced cheese crisp. The service is very fast. I am making myself so hungry for Pedro's that I guess we will go there tonight. The name Pedro's always seems to come up when searching for good Mexican food in Phoenix, but I never quite made it there due to its proximity to where I live and work. That changed the other night when my friend convinced me to go car shopping with her and we passed it while driving to the dealership. After a long, frustrating process at the dealership (what car buying experience doesn't fit that category) we were hungry and her baby needed to eat so we wanted to go somewhere close by, so we thought we would give it a try! \n\nIt was about 7:30 on a Monday night, and there were about 5 other tables of people that seemed to be regulars. We weren't sure what to expect from the outside of the building, and its location, but inside was clean with some kitchy decor. The menu was vast and had all my favorite dishes...it was so hard to choose! Ultimately I got a combo plate that included a bean tostada, cheese enchilada and a shredded beef flauta with beans (I opted for no rice).\n\nThe chips that came out first were delicious, hot, crisp and lightly salted, they were some of the best I have had. The chunky salsa was good, but a bit on the sweet side, but it was perfect once I mixed in some of the hot sauce. I really liked how they have you little bowls for your salsa, plates and salsa just don't mix!\n\nThe food came out fast and was piping hot....I tested the beans, my benchmark for Mexican food, and they were delicious! Creamy, salty and rich, they were really good beans! The enchilada was good, but I did feel the sauce was a bit on the thin side. The beef in the flauta was delicious, really flavorful, it didn't even need sauce! My friend had a burrito that she also enjoyed.\n\nOur pit stop at Pedro's was made out of desperation, but we walked away happy and satisfied and considering a return trip. When we paid the cashier told us that they had been there for 51 years, I hope I make it back before they are there another 51 years! |

It was ok, but over the years the food quality kept getting worse. The chefs were not careful and looks like they didn't use hairnets, as i have found hair in my food on multiple occasions. I even got food poisoning from this place. Not a good experience, i will not be returning. Mandarin Buffet was a major part of my childhood...many a gathering with family and friends were held here (and at various other Mandarin locations). \n\nNow that I'm older, I realize that buffets are not the most high quality selection in the world but this place still holds a special place in my heart. The selection is unparalleled. As a child, I held this as the standard to all other buffets and was very dissapointed to find out they did not have a full selection of dim sum, snow crab, carved roast beef, sushi and 20+ flavors of ice cream.\n\nTo this day, I have not found another place like this. I love visiting whenever I'm back in Toronto. It's a piece of my hometown and childhood! This is my second time being to Mandarin, and the first time being there for lunch hours. The lemon chicken I had along with the Shanghai noodles weren't bad, but I wouldn't say that they're the best I've ever had. Unfortunately the sushi was quite below standard, and was ultimately tasteless. If I were to recommend a time for anyone to go to Mandarin, it would be during dinner time, as the options are much broader and includes the delicious crab legs. Overall, the service was good, and the pricing is fair for an all you can eat buffet, but the food however didn't make much of an impression by the time I had finished. The food at this Mandarin Buffet doesn't seem quite as good and as varied as the food served at the Mandarin Buffet located downtown Toronto - which is weird since we visited this location on a weekend whereas we visited the other location on a weekday.\n\nHowever, one of the notable differences was there were crab legs and a stuffer lobster type dish. My asian family and friends loaded up on these two dishes.\n\nOr, maybe I was just so overwhelmed and overstimulated by my first visit to Mandarin that my perception is a little skewed. Who knows?! \n\nWaitress was super cute and friendly and offered to take a picture of the group - love that :)\n\nAll in all, I am a fan of buffets and would not turn down a visit to this location - in terms of buffets, it gets the job done! I like coming here for weekday lunch. What really draws me here is the staff and service, unlike most Chinese places I've gone to, their staff really KNOWS how to tend to their customers--friendly, attentive, speaks (clear) English, properly attired.\n\nFood is alright, like 7/10ish (or 7.5) lol and they have nice selections for desserts and alcohol beverages unlike some other Asian restaurants. If I'm feeling for an all-you-can-eat Asian buffet, Mandarin is usually the destination spot for me. |

Their food is always on point and I recommend all tacos! I've tried the pastor, chorizo, bbq and steak all very delicious. Service is really great also. I want to start by saying "This is not where the food truck was located". It was at 7601 Statesville Rd. At a used car shop. With that being said, the food was on point. They accept Visas (which is a plus). \n\nThe food was just right. The mini quesadilla was a good size for someone who wants a quick bite. We had the carne asada tacos and we loved them. \n\nAnother plus was the wait time. I had a pretty large order and they were done within 10 minutes.\n\nThis is a hidden gem and I say that because so many people came and went while I was waiting for my order. When I got there, there were already 3 cop cars ordering their food as well. \n\nThis truck is perfect when I want some authentic tacos. Amazing. Stopped here on a road trip driving on I-85. These tacos were so authentic and flavorful! The prices are outstanding and the staff is very nice. I will be back next time I drive through. Be prepared to sit on a stool or stand and eat. It's still a taco truck. Love Plato Pronto, you can't beat the quality of the food for the price. I stop here at least once a week for lunch. The chorizo torta and quesadillas are incredible. This is it. This is the one truck you shouldnt drive past because "its a food truck in a storage building parking lot". The Pastor is out of this world, I highly recommend the quesadilla, its huge. Hands down the best mexican food around, even from restaurants. |

They were amazing! \n\nTry them- you won't be disappointed. The Guacamole is also excellent! I am always craving Mexican food. My boyfriend and I were staying at the Boulder Station hotel and casino for a car show and didn't want to spend a fortune on food for the weekend. We stopped by this place for dinner real quick and it was so good! I got the taco plate with the rice and beans. All of it was delicious and super cheap! We ended up eating there again for lunch the next day right before we left Vegas. I would definitely recommend this place! Can't wait to get it again sometime. Great little fast food mexican food joint. I really love their quesadilla that comes with guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. My boyfriend also enjoyed their chicken nachos combo with rice and beans. Best thing in Boulder Station when it comes to take out! I'm thrilled I can share my new discovery of a little mexican joint with you all. It's located inside the boulder station casino near the bigger restaurants... not the food court.\n\nA few weeks ago my hub and I were desperate for food that wasn't fast food or sit down. We happen to stumble upon viva salsa which has a cheap and simple menu so we decided to try it.\n\nI ordered the chicken taco plate, which includes rice, refried beans and the usual taco fixings + drink 5.99. My hub had the burrito plate that included the same sides + drink 5.99. In a nutshell we had a really delicious and fresh hot meal for under $13 that hit the spot on hunger and wallet.\n\nThe only small down side is we waited in line for about 20 minutes till we could order, but the food came out quicker than expected. Yay! I love this little taco joint and if you give it a try I'm sure you'll love it too! Good service, great food. Ordered the torta special thinking it would be a bland meal. Boy, was I wrong! Everything was cooked to perfection. Tried two different types of salsa as well (green and red medium) which added just the right amount of kick to my meal. Would highly recommend |

I will NEVER come back here. started with the bruschetta and it was 2 small pieces of bread with tomatoes and cheap cheese toasted on top. Didn't even come out hot and we were the ONLY table at the restaurant. \n\n I had the lasagna for my main and you can taste the freezer burn and the veggies in it were GROSS. Even the cheese was cheap and nasty. just CHEAP food and I can have a better meal going to loblaws and buying a frozen tv dinner. This place should be closed down. 2.5 star\n\nArmando's always look empty doesn't matter when I walked by, drove by... And with the low rating from Yelp, I would probably would not be coming here if not for the Teambuy coupon...\n\nThe interior is nicely decorated with a Tuscany countryside feel... pretentiously rustic... \n\nThe lone waitress was nice and welcoming.. and we received excellent service.\n\nCaesar Salad ($6.50)\n- Fresh and crispy... A-OK\n\nLinguine Alla Pescatore ($18) - fresh shrimp, scallops, & mussels with linguine pasta, tossed in a light spicy tomato sauce\nShrimp Penne Arrabiata ($10) - fresh shrimps and penne tossed in a very spicy tomato sauce\n- I found the fault is in the sauce... it just tasted canned... and really Americanized/Canadianized... just not really Italian Authentic\n- Portion wise for the Linguine Alla Pescatore is pretty small... may I suggest Armando's use a bigger plate and improve on the presentation\n \nTiramisu ($6)\n- MEH!! MEH!! Not worth my calories and my while.... supermarket version and with supermarket quality to match\n\nCafe Latte ($3)\n- really really light roast, my dinner mate likes that.. \n\nI feel for Armando's! But they really lacking something to make it worth my money and time to come and eat here and pay full price for the experience.\n\nSKIP!! I don't know why the reviews for Armando's are so poor. I'm not a big gourmet dinner, but the food is fresh and home made. If you want fancy, go somewhere fancy and pay $100 per person for dinner. Me and my daughter ate here for around $50. I had purchased a deal find coupon so really it was dirt cheap. Nothing to complain about. The food was good, my daughter loved the gnocchi, I had the sea bass and it was quite good. The star rating is relative. I would give any organic raw food bar 5 stars that's why Armando's only gets 3 from me, but if I was comparing it to any chain place, this would be a 5 star next to Boston pizza(0.5 star), Kelsey's(1.5 stars) for example. Armando and our waitress were super nice and friendly. I would highly recommend this place for a quiet nice meal. Again, I am no expert, but the coffee was really good. I went here today with two of my friends and we ordered 3 different meals.\n\nThe ambiance is great and has a lot of character. They write neat little messages on all meals served.\n\nThe place is kind of expensive I ordered spegetti and it was $15, a beer was $5, and it wasn't all that great, I haven't had a lot of italian food but I have definitely had better.\n\nVery limited vegetarian/vegan options, but they will change the dish to suit your needs so that was nice, and I got a 30% off coupon so I might go back to give it one more try and if the food gets any better I will update this post. It's been a while since I've been here but the food is still great. I have the spaghetti, fresh & tasty. Service is very friendly. The chef/owner is always there, working hard to please his guests. Nice affordable place. |

Carne asada fries was delicious! They even placed the toppings on the side. My son really appreciated that!\n\nThe carne asada was enough for 2 or more to eat. (Or for lunch the next day!) My son and I truly enjoyed them.\n\nMy daughter ordered a shrimp burrito. She said that it was fresh, delicious and filling also. \n\nWe love that they are opened 24 hours and that there are digital coupons that you can use/redeem if you go to their website!\n\nWe now have a new late night eatery. I've been coming here for years. This place shorted us on food and they wouldn't fix the problem. They said it was correct. I will NEVER come here AGAIN!!!! Don't COME HERE!!! Inconsistent in serving! Don't waste your time or money!!!!!\nI would like to update on our experience. They actually fixed the problem and our order and the manager apologized. He gave us the food for free and it was excellent! He took all the charges off my credit card. I had to tip the server because she was very patient. We are now a family that loves their fresh food and great service. \nWhenever I don't have time to cook we order and are always guarantee freshness. We really enjoyed our visit to DT's. Was our first time there and was really impressed. Everything tasted fresh and had very generous portion sizes. Next time I'll definitely hold off on the taquitos and stick strictly to the tacos. They are delicious. I just wish the taquitos came with sour cream. Maybe half guacamole half sour cream option. Overall great visit, clean and will definitely be back soon. I stumbled across this place several days ago while on the hunt for a replacement to Roberto's since their prices have almost doubled as of recently, I'm so glad i found Don Tortaco's.\n\nFirst off when they say 'beef' on anything whether its the nachos, tortas or chimi's they really do mean it, You wont find ground beef in any of their food as they use authentic shredded beef which is well seasoned and cooked amazingly.\n\nI ordered the Super Nachos - Beef and a Beef Chimichanga, To me at-least i felt the Chimi could've had a bit more filling as it felt soggy and empty upon first cutting into it however the Nachos were delicious i would even say they're right up there with the best I've had in Las Vegas thus far. \n\nFood was amazing but i really enjoyed the drinks on tap and the brand of Horchata they have tastes pretty authentic despite coming from a fountain unlike the 7/11 one, They also have a variety of flavors from Pina Colada to Coconut and even Guava i was shocked. \n\nHopefully they'll work on stuffing their Chimichangas a bit more but other than that they have won a loyal customer! |

The service is great too, I received complimentary champagne. It's a nice spot for a dinner date. Would come back again. Located in the heart of the city. The restaurant looked very outdated. The cannoli was seem like it was made from frozen, lacked of flavour, with a mushy texture. The veal parmigiana was also horrendous. Soggy and not crispy at all. Only plus side was the free garlic bread. Great spot, fantastic service, reasonable prices, and good food. 3 course dinner for $25 I had the organic garden salad, salmon, and creme caramel. Will definitely return Horrible Service. Extremely rude and confrontational waiter. Subpar food. \n\nMy group of 5 reserved a table in advance and when we arrived we were welcomed by a nice young lady. We sat down and had terribly slow service, and the restaurant was empty besides 3 occupied tables. \n\nThe food arrived and was not satisfying at all. We had to call the waiter 3 times before he would actually come over. \n\nTHE WORST SERVER IVE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE-\n\nmiddle aged gentleman with a bald head\n\nWe asked for separate checks and he said okay. \n\nWe all pay and leave ~10% tips. The service wasn\'t that great and they didn\'t deserve any more than that. \n \nAs we get to the door the bald waiter confronts us in a extremely rude tone and says "Excuse me but we don\'t separate checks, you can\'t do this again- also you can\'t leave a 10% tip, some of you only left $4 dollars!!! **This isn\'t how things work around here!! Thanks." And he stormed off before I had the chance to respond to him and his ignorance. \n\nHe has been scamming costumes according to other Yelp reviews also. He must be a relative to the owner because there\'s no way he should be getting away with this inns propriety behaviour. Great atmosphere, great food. $25 for 3 courses is a good deal for the entertainment district. Would definitely return if visiting the area. We ordered the organic salad, stuffed chicken, salmon and oyster mushroom pasta with creme caramel for dessert. Very classy place. |

Street food is supposed to be simple and the tacos at La Frontera are just that, simple and to the point. \n\nIf you're looking for a Mission style burrito, you will be disappointed. But if you want tasty tacos de chicharron or carne asada, you're in for a treat.\n\nPart of the problem here in Arizona is that we have a mix of expectations when it comes to food because there's not much tradition and a healthy influx of people from other areas here. While I'm not sold on the Sonoran Hot Dogs at many other places around here, La Frontera's sister cart (same parking lot) does a great job putting together awesome hot dogs with everything on them.\n\nAs for tacos, skip the Al Pastor, I still haven't found a place here that makes 'em the way I like (crazy thin sliced off the spit, sweet and succulent, with pineapple). Go for the Carne Asada, Chicharron or the Lengua, anything else and your guess is good as mine as we've been just twice. This place is probably the closest thing to tacos in Mexico taste. ***Cash only*** Tacos are $2 regular size tortilla, the guac salsa is delicious and you gotta try vampiros which are a fire toasted tortilla with melted cheese and meat on top, yummoooo 5 + Stars. This place is great even though it's a taco truck fresh carne asada fresh beans fresh everything. I would pick this place over any Mexican restaurant anytime. I've went in the morning at 10 am and 2 a.m. and it's still the best quality of food. I wish they would open a restaurant and they be making bank. Never had a bad experience and recommend it to anybody and everybody!!!! Looking for a romantic, cozy place to take your date on Saturday night? If so, this is certainly NOT the place for it. However, if you want to practice your Spanish skills and eat awesome food from a truck parked on a busy road, this is your spot!\n\nI had two tacos: carne asada and al pastor. Both were excellent. I also had a vampiro with carnitas...kind of like a tostada. The meat is really juicy and tender. All of it tastes like it has been marinating for a good amount of time.\n\nI've spent a fair amount of time in Mexico and this made me feel like I was a back there. To my right, a woman selling bootleg DVDs. To my left, Spanish-speaking families drinking soda out of glass bottles. Not the best area of town and to be honest, it smells a little funny...but if that doesn't put you off go check it out! This place is a taco truck on a parking lot with tables and chairs available to sit. The place is clean and the tacos are delicious. The tortillas look and taste homemade and they give you a lot of meat. I brought the hubby here for his birthday because he specifically asked for tacos. We came here around 10:30pm on a Saturday night after a show at the Herberger Theater. We ordered cabeza, lengua, chicharon, and carne asada tacos. All meats were tender and flavorful, so you don't need to add anything else but they do give you two different salsas, limes, and some cucumber slices with your order. The cabeza meat was juicy which I like. We both ordered jamaica juice and were pleased that it wasn't too sweet. Sanitation wise, I really like that someone takes your order and money, then a different person makes your food. The hubby loved it here and says we're coming back! |

We've been going here for 10 years. Great spot...good value and consistent quality with solid service. You won't do better for the money. great food! pretty affordable and awesome service. everyone is so nice. very quick serving as well :) my go to sushi place.

Gotta go. I can't even. Cheers I will start and say the stuffed hot peppers were hot and very good. The restaurant was not very busy but it took 30 minutes to just get water because they needed to wash glasses. The service was crazy slow. \n\nThe lasagna was not very good. But even though mine was pre made ie just needed heated up. Mine was last to come out by a long shot.\n\nAnd to compound things I jammed my head into the tv. Warning don't sit in the corner of your close to 6'. Great service and even better food. This is one of those places where the owner is walking around making sure everyone is happy and things are running smoothly. The homemade gnocchi with Alfredo was a dish I'll be craving over and over. Great bread and house salad too! The pizza was spot on and portion size was generous for the price. We'll be back! Crappy service, no draft beer and did I mention crappy service? The waitress acted as if we were disturbing her and when I requested a glass for my bottled Bud Lite, it looks like it never saw a dishwasher in it's life! We ordered the spaghetti dinner and the sauce tasted like it came out of a can! The place seemed to be filled at the bar with regulars that got more attention than anyone at the tables. Did not feel welcomed at all since this was our first time there. I live almost around the corner from this place but I won't be going back! The only reason I gave it one star is the food didn't make me sick! Went in on a Friday night and only 5 tables were occupied. ..big red flag. One of the specials was scrod. It was awful. Highlight was the sweet little server who was friendly and knowledgeable. |

Sometimes there's fruit or food floating around, worth a bunch of points, but more importantly needed to fuel your gains. High scores don't just happen, you need proper sustenance. \nWhen you get your quarter in the machine, your hands tense, palms sweat, pulse rises, and you know it's go time. With any luck, swarms of beautiful women will pack in tightly around you as you guide their 1980s feminine pixel hero masterfully through the mazes, avoiding death with each turn and inching closer to surmounting the high score. The power is in your hands, and people who don't know that will realize when you strut proudly away from that arcade.\n\nDrinks seemed under poured 3 stars. It was cold. We needed something warm. They have Irish coffee. Seemed appropriate for the Tuesday night. It was the closest bar we could find to the Overture Center. There was around 7 people in the bar for the 45 minutes we were there. They mostly kept to themselves. It is a very long but tight area so on weekends or game days, I could imagine it getting PACKED. Especially since they have a sign posted saying that if you leave, you are expected to get to the back of the line.\n\nThe place was clean, we jammed to '90s music, and drank our lovely Irish coffee. We came, we drank, and moved on. It was nice having a warm place to hunker down but would not be worth it if millions of undergrads are populating the place. Good prices on drinks though! I love the IP! Granted-I was one of Mack\'s first hires after the switch from the Bull Ring to the Irish Pub. Now for a few Irish references-get the burger with Swiss and grilled onions....hand packed "Patty." The first 3 female employees were all Pattys....the owner married a Patty....and note the address number of 317 - a derivation of 3/17 ( St Patty\'s Day) |

Took 2 hours to get our food. Manager would not come out of the kitchen . Awful awful awful! Food is exactly what the menu tells you it is - don't expect anything too gourmet. Service is usually good (never had a bad experience), drinks are a little on the pricier side for a bar but not a bad place to grab a bite, a drink and watch a game. $10 lunch specials are pretty decent as well\n\nI've never had a bad time here yet so until that day comes I think a 4/5 is accurate. \n\nOnly downside is they close at 11 most days of the week, little too early for closing time at a bar in my books. My favorite cookhouse restaurant in the city, I come here all the time mainly for the best pork ribs in town and they never disappoint! the service is always good and they are very friendly but not in a very annoying way like some other places, they update their menu all the time and add fun new items to try which always seem to work well, good selection of beers and other drinks as well. if you have room for desert you should definitely try some of their yummy cakes. There is a good atmosphere in the dining room, it has a family feel to it but at the same time there is a younger crowed vibe which is good, if I had one compliant it would be that it could use some more lighting, a bit too dim but I get it due to the wooden theme of the decor. I am not sure but I think their rib tastes different from the one that I had at Brampton. It was more delicious. Should take a reservation if you are going on weekends. We waited for like 15 minutes before we are seated. Service is fine, the lady is helpful and fast. Washroom should be cleaned more. I treat myself here every so often, just like Wild Wings. I highly recommend the grilled cheese cheeseburger! It\'s quite the mouthful but I adore it so much! Also try out some of their new BBQ flavours! You never know which you\'ll like more than the regular "bold". It is a pricey place to go but I say it\'s fine once in a while. I like the atmosphere too. |

Typically go in for bagels and decided to actually eat food here for once. \nThey have a Pick 2 menu which pretty much lets you build your meal :) \nWent with the steak + cheese panini and mandarin walnut salad. Also came with chips, drinks are additional. \nAs far as portions, think of healthy filling, but could eat more if you wanted to, sizes. It was a bit on the pricier end for what you get, but was nice to try. Wasn't the biggest fan of the horseradish in the panini, but I guess that's just personal preference. \n\nIf you plan on coming to Panera often, get the rewards card This paneer location has the worst parking ever. I constantly see people from other restaurants parking here and it just annoys me. \n\nOn the non bitching side, the employees here are always friendly, patient (since I can never decide in a timely manner), and efficient. My large orders are done in less than ten.\n\nMind you the soups an sandwiches are mind blowing delicious. Always the perfect app for lunch or fall weather. Love that they give you a small side choice of bread, kettle chips or apple. Such decisions!\n\nPanera you shall be seeing me more! We LOVE this place! It's huge inside, has outdoor seating, and several registers open during their lunch rush. \nThe food is always consistent. The staff is always super friendly. And I always leave happy. No complaints here. Didn't eat here, just wanted to use restroom. Have eaten at other locations for the chain. However, 1st impressions matter, and the mens bathroom smelled like whoever cleaned it had run out of detergent and also opted for dirty water in the mop bucket instead of clean. In any case, made me wonder what other short cuts/half attempts were made elsewhere in the business. |

We each got something off the new Honey Pepper Grill menu and were pleased with our meals. Not sure we'll come back to THIS location, but don't judge the franchise just on this location. We stopped in on a very snowy, Thursday afternoon and were pleasantly greeted at the door and seated right away! Our waitress was extremely helpful and very nice. She always had our drinks topped off and my boys never lacked in attention. \n\nOur food came out hot and to order. Everything was perfect in flavor and size. The bathrooms were clean and the whole place was neat. I can't complain about anything. We got to-go boxes when we asked and the check was soon to follow. No waiting, which is a plus for me!\n\nI have no problem coming back here! We order takeout from this Applebees and have done so for the last year +. Over this period of time we have had more orders that were incorrect than were correct. We love their food, but the takeout is horrible! Great specials for happy hour. One of the better franchise locations I've visited under this proprietor. Not bad you know it's just another quick place to eat, food not bad beer sucks just stick to pop or water don't waist your money. |

For $2.99 the portion is massive and they are absolutely delicious. \n\nI see from other reviews that a lot of people think this place is a bit pricey, but if you're an average sized person, with an average sized appetite, most things they serve on this menu should be shared. The portions are absolutely ENORMOUS. I split the enchiladas with a friend, each of us finished one, leaving one left over and we were stuffed!! The same thing goes for the portions of those burritos.\n\nThere is another Mexican joint just across the street but what this one has going for it that the other doesn't even come close to is the atmosphere. It's dark, cozy and fabulous. \n\nThey also open their front right up in the summer so you get that warm summer breeze all through the restaurant. Their margaritas are what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant, great!\n\nI am actually really looking forward to bringing a date here sometime soon. The only thing that this place has going for itself is the ambiance, though forged solely by its dim lighting. First romantic-feeling Mexican restaurant I've never been to, though nothing else about it is actually romantic.\n\nAs a large group of people, we have learned that\n1. You do not get to order from a regular menu but a small, pared down version on a piece of white paper.\n2. Though the menu says 15% gratuity is charged automatically, it was 17% on our bill.\n3. Of course, no separate bills.\n\nOther things I've learned:\n1. the food takes forever to come\n2. the servers aren't very friendly\n3. the only food that I've had that was more bland was from the ground beef I made in home ec class in 10th grade, before I knew the existence of spice and salt. \n\nNotes:\n- the mojito ($10) was no good\n- the burrito must be eaten with a knife and fork as it is smothered by cheese, the only flavour that came with this $15 dish\n- The guacamole ($9...seriously?!?!?!) is the only redeeming food item for this restaurant, at an insanely wrong wrong wrong price.\n\nSummary:\nEXPENSIVE, FLIPPANT SERVICE, BLAND FOOD.\n\nWhat am I missing here that's making this place so busy?! This place tends to get a lot of bad reviews - mostly based on service.\n\nGo during the week, they are less busy and more attentive.\n\nfood can be inconsistent, but i have had good experiences Tues-thurs - and be realistic, it's tacos after- all. \n\nthey do make good Mexican drinks, with good tequila and have a good variety - stick to that and keep the food secondary and you'll have a fine time. Steak tacos and chicken fajitas are good. The drinks are good too but a bit on the pricey side. Food is inconsistent. The guacamole that came with one of my dishes was delicious but the order I got separately was so awful I sent it back and asked them to remake it. It was really bland, over salted, and had barely any of the good stuff in it. They made a much better version the second time around once I brought it to their attention. They were very understanding and polite about my request too, which is awesome.\n\nService is slow but friendly. They're polite when you send stuff back. I usually go here once a year for a friend's birthday and they've improved the service over the years. It used to be absolutely awful but has improved. Even though they're not the fastest when it comes to service, and not the greatest at making guacamole the first time around, everyone is friendly.\n\nI give them a generous 4 stars because their service has improved over time, and the drinks and food are always delicious. Price can be a bit steep. Not the best value, but great taste. The burritos are gigantic and you basically cut it in half and take one half home. This place is maybe a 3.5 but the nice enough ambiance, friendly service that has improved since the last time, and lack of other options in the area make me give it 4. Mexican food is usually not my first choice but it was for a friend\'s birthday so who am I to raise a stink? Gotta say though, the food was really good. The service... not so much.\n\nGood luck A) getting the server\'s attention to ask for a drink and B) actually GETTING said drink. \n\nWe were seated upstairs which is a small yet spacious area right by the bar. No reason for the server, who seemed dangerously under-aged to be serving drinks in the first place, to be unaware of the table of 7 he was waiting on. Is it safe to say maybe he was having a bad night? Hell, perhaps with midterms just around the corner, he was pre-occupied. Whatever the reason, it does not encourage repeat business.\n\nWhen he was paying attention, he was very rude so midterms or not, that also doesn\'t encourage repeat business.\n\nOther annoying bits:\n* Pitcher of mojito serves 4 as oppose to 7 as stated\n* One thing I never mention in most reviews is the importance of getting the bill when the patrons ask for it. This may be just as crucial as taking their orders. Asking for the bill proved to be just as difficult as asking for a drink.\n* No debit. And not a "we were never equipped with it" but "we got rid of it". Wow, you guys REALLY don\'t want people coming into your establishment, do you? Well, if you insist... |

The salsa, rice and beans taste good. Food is home-made style with hand made tortillas. Great customer service. Super clean!! Front end, back end were all basically spotless. Had the Carne Assad Burrito. Not a Ton of flavor and the asada was basically shoe leather. Beans and rice were average but I did really like the salsa and horchetta!! I always believe in second chances but this is strike one for sure. Best Mexican food in town...Wow The Steak Picado incredible...Home made tortillas fresh on the spot...Chili rellenos are great...Clean nice atmosphere...The 2 ladies cook some home cooked food with love....I go their 3 times a week now....love it..... I found this place by accident and I am very glad I did. Super clean, nice selection, great service and most importantly, delicious food. Ordered carne asada nachos with NO beans. When I got home, there were beans throughout the whole plate. This is a big problem because it made the dish inedible for me. They don't use shredded cheddar but a cheese sauce which can make the chips very soggy, especially when you're ordering to go and have to wait until you get home to eat. Worse still, the cheese sauce had absolutely NO flavor. The chips are the thick kind and not very tasty (my favorite chips are from Chili's - thin, crispy, and salty). The meat was pretty good. It was in thin pieces and not real fatty which is a big turn-off to me. There was no sour cream or guacamole which is pretty standard for nachos. Very unsatisfying. This is a fairly new restaurant and maybe they need to work out the kinks. However, it'll be a long time, if ever, that I try this place again. |

We found this food paradise so close to Notre dame.....we order the escargot for appetizers and garlic shrimp and sole filet in lemon butter. The shrimp and the escargot dish was to die for. The best we have ever tasted. \nWe ended with Creme caramel and dulce de leche cheese cake. It was so hard to not order a second round. My wife had to stop me from reordering this yummy cheese cake. We had a great time. The service was so friendly we felt at home . They even helped our 2 year old in keeping her busy while we enjoyed this awesome meal. Cheers Amazing experience! The food is very fresh and flavorful. They don't rip you off with the ingredients either. The plates were very abundant and plentiful. \nThe place is a little hard to find at night but totally worth the money and experience. \nThe owner was very friendly and genuine too!

There was a young girl working up front. She greeted us, took care of us, made us feel welcome and brought us everything we wanted while going above and beyond. She also had an actual conversation with us and was genuinely interested in how we felt about the food and if we had ate there before. It's so hard to feel like you've received great service anywhere lately at least in our experience. The food was also really good. I got the pad keep Mao spice level 1 and it still had some spice to it! My husband got the yellow curry spice level 3 which he said was really good but pretty hot and couldn't imagine above a 3. We also ordered some potstickers for our toddler. The quality of the food is five stars. But, the reason I am giving this Thai Restaurant 5 stars is that they made my food spicy. I like to feel the burn when I ask for it and my mouth is watering a sensation I rarely get. There heat level is accurate and beautiful. This used to be my favorite place for yellow curry. Now that it has changed owners it's not as good. I was eating here like 3 times a week please go back to the old recipes the new ones do not compare! If I could give one star I would. Not only did it take one hour to deliver my food that is located 2 miles from their location but I could best describe the flavor and smell of their Pad Tai as the equivalent of pet fish food, the flakes you put in the take, that fish food. Will never eat or order from their again. Never had anything besides pad Thai n broccoli n beef but it's so good that I always come back! I work down the street n this is the only quality food place that I can get a good meal during my 30 minute lunch. We keep coming back because the seasoning n flavor is incredible n they're fast! |

I like the ones with shrimp and the veterian ones with chineese mushrooms. Also the seaweed salad is delicious. J'\xc3\xa9tais content de d\xc3\xa9couvrir ce restaurant de dumplings proche de mon logement. \n\n\xc3\x89tant un amateur de dumplings du Qing Hua et du Mai Xiang Yuan, j'\xc3\xa9tais donc excit\xc3\xa9. \n\nLa taille du restaurant est petit, environ 15 places. Il y a \xc3\xa9galement un mur o\xc3\xb9 on y vend des produits asiatiques, dont des kit-kat et oreo au matcha que je ne croyais qu'il n'avait pas \xc3\xa0 Montreal. \n\nLe menu est moins grand que les autres restaurants de dumplings \xc3\xa0 Montr\xc3\xa9al, mais respectable. Les prix sont cependant plus chers. \n\nJ'ai pris un dumpling aux fruits de mer et un au porc et bok choy pour emporter. Ils \xc3\xa9taient tr\xc3\xa8s bons. J'y retournerai certainement.\n\nC\xc3\xb4t\xc3\xa9 sauces, ils ont 3 propositions (voir photos), mais je suis plus traditionnelle vinaigre+soya+piment.\n\nLes dumplings sont bien faits et sont comparables aux autres restaurants, sauf pour ceux qui \xc3\xa9taient po\xc3\xaal\xc3\xa9s que j'ai moins aim\xc3\xa9, mais consid\xc3\xa9rant que c'\xc3\xa9tait pour emporter (quoique je mange souvent pour emporter), je laisse un doute. \n\nCe sera int\xc3\xa9ressant \xc3\xa0 faire d\xc3\xa9couvrir \xc3\xa0 mes amis Excellent dumplings for a good price.\nYou can tell that these are freshly made dumplings and you can see that as soon as you enter the restaurant with the employees working the dough.\n\nI ordered the mixed boiled dumplings (d\xc3\xa9gustation) and it didn't disappoint.\nEach one was very tasty and good. They certainly compare to any dumpling restaurant around. Tried this place with some friends and weren't disappointed! We ordered a couple of the assortments (3 of of each of 4 kinds) and added an order of shrimp dumplings and 3 won ton soups. The dumplings were served with a peanut sauce and a vinegar-based sauce (soy-ginger type sauce often served with dumplings). \n\nOverall, the dumplings were good and fresh. They are prepared on site and can be ordered freshly cooked or frozen to-go. Since we didn't specify how we wanted them cooked, we got one sampler order steamed and one pan-fried. I believe you can get them deep fried for an extra charge.\n\nAlso on the menu are salads: chinese mushroom salad, crushed cucumber, seaweed and bamboo shoot, and there is a small selection of Chinese pantry items in the shop.\n\nThe only thing I wish was that we could identify which dumplings were which in the sampler since they all looked similar, however, they were super yummy so not a big deal. \n\nHappy to have this new addition on the Plaza and will definitely be back!

Il existe une formule express midi et une carte simple mais efficace.\n\nService tr\xc3\xa8s gentil et rapide, on peut manger en regardant 2 cuisini\xc3\xa8res pr\xc3\xa9parer les dumplings \xc3\xa0 l'avant du restaurant. Une \xc3\xa9tag\xc3\xa8re propose aussi toute une panoplie de produits asiatiques \xc3\xa0 emporter chez soi.\n\nVous pouvez aussi acheter des sacs de dumplings congel\xc3\xa9s ! Tr\xc3\xa8s utile pour un ap\xc3\xa9ro \xc3\xa0 la maison.\n\nRapport qualit\xc3\xa9/prix est tr\xc3\xa8s bon.\nH\xc3\xa2te d'y retourner ! |
