My recent trip was fabulous as usual. Table 34 is the place we can always count on for well done cocktails and great food. Service has always been exceptional and price is fair for the quality of the meals. Can't recommend enough! Really nice easy going atmosphere and good service makes this place a solid choice. A date night with a good woman where you can dress casual and its quiet helps too.\n\nMy pork chops with sweet potatoes were on point. Nothing great but acceptable. Appetizer was a duck quesadilla with a blackberry coulis was a little too heavy. I think I should of skipped this and went straight for chops. I went to Table 34 for lunch on a few occasions after meetings or with coworkers. Every time I was impressed. I had a variety of items and each time everything was delicious. The servers are very friendly and food comes out in a timely manner. I would say the pricing is a little high on some of the items, but overall it is worth it! This review is only for lunch. I've been here twice and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. The staff is very knowledgable and professional. What I really respect is the chef and his passion and creativity. He keeps his menu seasonal and inventive, but at the same time very approachable and clean. \nOn one trip we had an excellent assortment of warm bread, my second visit we were offered one type of cold slightly stale bread. Other than that I have no other complaints.\nI can't wait to come back for dinner. Great atmosphere! Met with some business partners here for the first time today and just can't say enough great things about the place. Pricy for lunch but you get what you pay for in life. Great place for lunch meetings. |

Here it is, found again, at El Rey Cafe! If you are looking for a fancy place with white tablecloths and china, this is not your restaurant. But if you are looking for friendly service and crazy good food, you\'ve just found it.\nSo far I\'ve tried and loved the butter chips, salsa, green chile, red chile, and chile relleno. Looking forward to consuming the rest of the menu soon. As good as the original Libby\'s El Rey Cafe in Globe, AZ. Libby\'s daughter, Marisa, is using the same homemade recipes tested since 1947. If you\'ve been through Globe, you should know Libby\'s. Now, East Valley\'ites have a chance to try. The complimentary tortilla chips they bring out are called "butter chips", and you will find out why. But don\'t fill up on them. Guac was not out of can. Everything is homemade. I had the Green Chile Burrito Enchilada Style. I shouldn\'t have finished it all. But I did. Go check \'em out! I would say try it out but be ready for a little more grease than necessary. Basically the food is good but not if you are anywhere close to wanting to eat decent/healthy :).\nThis will be a place that we do not go frequently but maybe every once in awhile when we need a good burro/burrito. My son dislikes and avoids Mexican food at all costs. However, when we visited this little restaurant the first time, that all changed! The owner (forgot her name at this moment) was there and she made us feel like family. She convinced my son to get a taco and beans and he immediately became a fan! Now he asks if we can go eat at the "Nice Lady\'s restaurant". My husband and I also enjoyed the food very much. LOVE LOVE their chips and salsa and the service was very good. Yes it is a small place and the service isn\'t as fast as most chain restaurants, but it is a great exchange for feeling comfortable and relaxed in a "restaurant" atmosphere.\nMy only downfall......I wasn\'t a huge fan of the chili relleno, but the other items I have tried on the menu are very good. This is the same El Ray as the one in Globe, AZ. I'm excited to have a decent Mexican food place close. |

Ordered the Original Bacon and Cheese Burger with Fries and Drink. Although I get to choose what toppings I wanted, I feel like they don't put enough. My colleague got his Chicken Burger on a whole wheat bun. Apparently, you have to ask for whole wheat, which I didn't even know it existed. Burger was good, the meat definitely taste grilled compare to other restaurants. Drinks are self-serve so you can refill as much as you want. If you have Scene card, you can get points. If you are on Scenes newsletter, you get coupons for more points. You can also go on their website to print out coupons. Asked a simple question - the rude drive thru women slammed the sliding glass window in my face... Oh yeah? I'll take my money to McDonald's, no problem :) Let me be clear: if you told me I had to have a Harvey's burger every single day for lunch, that would be OK by me, I love them that much. I wouldn't have to have bacon on it although that's always nice, I wouldn't have to have fries although I like Harvey's fries, and I wouldn't have to have gravy to dip the fries into, though that's always nice too! My daughter prefers Harvey's poutine, but I particularly like the crispiness of Harvey's french fries and I don't want that excellent taste drowned. \n\nI have seen some comments from Harvey's customers that they wish Harvey's had kept their lettuce the old way as opposed to shredded but personally I think it tastes better shredded. What else do I like? I love the variety of toppings and sauces offered, better I would argue than most fast food chains. It's such a variety that I do change up how I top that sizzling unmistakable perfectly charbroiled Harvey's burger. 3 dill pickles (and they must be dill, dammit, I despise sweet pickles and relish on a burger or hot dog), plus some red onions is always on my cheeseburger or cheese bacon burger. \n\nI usually have at least 4 crunchy fresh cucumber slices, and when I have those, I really don't need any lettuce. Then I may add black olives with or without jalape\xc3\xb1o peppers or pickled hot peppers. If they had mushrooms, I'd have those too (for your suggestion box, Cara Operations?), but I'm quite happy with the toppings offered. \n\nMy daughter was over the moon with joy when she saw guacamole had been added to the toppings choices recently, so on this occasion I tried it, and it was pretty good. As my daughter pointed out, the avocado in guacamole is a healthy choice for us both. (Small halo magically materializes over my head at this point. A hedonistic gourmand like me needs all the halos she can get LOL!) \n\nThe sauces are all the usual ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and relish, plus Dijon mustard, which I like, hot sauce, which I also like, tzaziki which I love, and the Louisiana moderately spicy sauce which I also love. It's really an embarrassment of riches. \n\nI was as thrilled when Harvey's introduced warm lime spiced mini doughnuts to the dessert menu as my daughter had been about the new guacamole topping. The trouble is, it is SO hard to share them; they are TOO good. I also like it that Harvey's offers slushies in different flavours as an alternative to soft drinks or shakes. I can't resist a slushie, especially in hot weather.\n\nThis Queensway Harvey's isn't my usual Harvey's location, my nearest one is on the airport strip on Dixon Road, which has excellent staff, as does the Queensway location, but the Queensway has nicer scenery from the windows onto Queensway and for some reason, a more relaxed ambience with more young families and elderly patrons enjoying the food. The airport strip location tends to attract workmen taking a quick lunch break. It's a different atmosphere. I have been here twice and would happily drop by this Harvey's again. pretty standard place to come and get a burger for a good price, the restaurant is due for a bit of an upgrade, but holds a bit of a nostalgic feel to it. the staff are super friendly with faster then normal service. the parking lot has lots of spaces, but is a little bit odd at times with how the drive thru is configured. \notherwise I would put this location at a bit better then some of the other burger joints in the area. \nthe new fish burger is fantastic, I recommend it. County our change! The woman at the counter has a hard time taking the order. Then has an even harder time counting change back. Come on the machine tells you how much to give back. Count it back. Should not be that hard. Food was on the expensive side for fast food but was hoping the service would make up for it. The service didn't deserve one start. Will not be going back. |

They can pretty much make anything on the regular menu gluten free which is uncommon however very appreciated. We go to the north Tempe location frequently and it never disappoints. The pear mule is a go-to complete with real pieces of pear in the bottom. They do take reservations, it doesn't usually seem to be necessary but that might change with spring training coming so it's not a bad idea. The decent prices are an added bonus. I can't say there is much to recommend this place except that they offer a choice of kale or no kale in their salad mix. Seriously, the food is bleh and the ambiance, which could be good given the setting, is unappealing. The service was okay, but not a place I'd bother to return to. Loved our first-time lunch there! Food was fresh, service was friendly and efficient, atmosphere was charming. What's not to like about that? Paco's Pear Tacos were yummy and super fresh - very good experience! Nice establishment with great patio seating and friendly staff. I would rate the food a 3.5/5, but the dining experience is why I give it a 4/5. Good looking menu but maybe a tad too many options. We got the Brussels sprouts salad and the BLT with iced green teas, the salad was good but nothing amazing and the BLT was ok, we weren't fans of the bread of the type of bacon they use. Sweet potato fries are delicious! The iced green tea was so nice and they even give you a cup to go, which was a great touch. Would go again to try more. This is a cute small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu has a variety of options from salads, sandwiches, to pasta. Based on the reviews I was eager to try this place to see what it was all about. I ordered the Baja like salad. The presentation was nice, all the colors of the rainbow on my plate. As for flavor, it was just okay. The dressing didn't have much flavor and as the name might suggest, I didn't taste much lime. My friend ordered pesto Mac and cheese which I tasted and it was good although I didn't taste any cheese. It seemed more like a pesto pasta dish than a Mac and cheese pasta dish. Overall this place is just okay. I would probably return if someone wanted to meet up there but unlikely that I'll go back on my own |

I had to keep continuously signaling the waitress to come to our table ( I was there roughly between 2-3 o'clock so there weren't people). The Tycoon Typhoon drink was great though and that's what's causing my 3 star rating. Oh yea and their presentation of the food was wonderful! I waited roughly 45 minutes for our entrees and appetizers which was frustrating Went to Millcreek Grille for the first time today. The decor is very well done. We were only the second table of customers in the restaurant. We were seated immediately. Very friendly front door staff.\n\nThe wait time for our server to come to the table for the first time was a bit longer than what I would have expected. There were about 5 people walking around the near empty restaurant. Yet it took probably 10 minutes before our server actually came to the table to introduce herself and take our order.\n\nWe both ordered the french onion soup, the petit fillet and a side salad. It seemed to take a bit longer to get our soup that what we expected. But after that, the food arrived as expected. The soup was really good. The salad was just okay. The petite fillet was prepared just as we ordered it. However, the bacon was raw in places. Most of it was inedible. And we didn't receive any bread until we were about half way through with the entrees. Should have brought it with the salad.\n\nWhile the waitress was very pleasant and very nice, she seemed a bit rehearsed. Not very natural. She seemed a bit tense rather than being herself. \n\nWe were there on military veteran 50% off day. We both also had food vouchers. When our checks arrived, we presented our food vouchers and our military DD214 forms. They were accepted without any hassle. But when we were about to leave, the server came to our table and said there was still a balance owed. We knew this was incorrect since the voucher plus the military discount more than covered the cost of the meal. When I looked at the receipt, the server had only applied the discount to the entree rather than the entire meal. I pointed this out and the server immediately became defensive. She insisted she had applied the discount correctly. Simple math would have helped her had she taken the time to review what I was trying to show her. Instead she walked away and finally another server came over and the two of them went back to the register. Turns out, she had not applied the discount to the entire meal. While she did apologize repeatedly after she discovered her error, she should not have developed an attitude in the first place. Had she just looked at the receipt she should have immediately seen her error.\n\nThe issue with the wait time, the lack of bread being served at the appropriate time and the attitude of the server were the only negatives. The food was very good. I would definitely recommend this place. I would also recommend the restaurant teach their servers basic math. Excellent service which was accompanied by the most delicious catfish dinner that I have had in a long time. Great way to celebrate my birthday. I have to compliment the kitchen. I agree totally with the previous reviewer in that we've also been there twice and have enjoyed the service and the food without question. My wife had the bourbon salmon and she said it was excellent and I opted for the 18 oz bone in ribeye cooked medium rare and it was perfect. Highly recommended. I Love their apple rub chicken shits amazing. Customer service is great. Food is amazing. Its a great price for what you're getting. Plus its in the casino(racino) cant beat that |

I had the Simpleton(?) burger with fries, not only was the burger delicious the fries were also so good (not typical fries - I think they had parmesan cheers and rosemary on them). Hubby had fish and chips and not only was the fish delicious but the chips (which I believe were made fresh) were also very tasty. One of the better meals we've had since moving here. The beer was under $3 found out it was happy hour which was a nice perk. Lauren our server was so helpful and friendly - and we got to dine outside. We will definitely return to Bar 145, so glad we tried it, as I said one of our better experiences since moving here! Went here with my family in the 5-6pm hour. Was surprised to not see too many people in the restaurant, maybe half dozen tables seated at best. Given the limited number of patrons in the place, you\'d think service would be quick...think again. The food at Bar 145 is relatively simple fare, with burgers as the feature menu item. \n\nSo with 3 of 5 people in my party ordering burgers, I wouldn\'t see it taking more than 10 minutes to order and receive food. It actually took 20 - 25. To add insult to wait times, the french fries clearly had been sitting under a heat lamp (i.e. - not fresh from the fryer). My wife\'s veggies burger was also lukewarm. The sauces I asked to be on the side were actually put on the burger (no harm...but that wasn\'t the ask), and my kids burger didn\'t come with the tomatoes he asked for. This level of service and quality surprised me for two reasons: 1) the place was almost empty, and 2) Bar 145 has been open now for at least a few months, which I would think quality and delivery times would have been worked out by now. \n\nBy the way, this was my second time here, and service was really slow that time. So, for the prices they charge for "premium" burgers, my expectations are a little higher. This place will be put on the "maybe, likely not" list going forward, unless I\'m absolutely craving overpriced and lukewarm food. I can't review the food because three servers walked past our table on Sunday afternoon February 8th around 12:15. Waited 15 minutes. No offer of water or asked by anyone if we had been helped. If the restaurant were busy, we would have understood. So we walked out and told the hostess we hoped the next couple she seated would be seated where they could get service. She looked surprised we left! Been here many time. My option has changed greatly. The consistency of dishes is bad. Portion sizes change. The taste of items and how they are prepared changes day to day. Very disappointed with the execution poor service sometime depends on who u get. Started out hopeful by ordering shrimp and grits. Wanted the "soul of the day" but there wasn\'t any; in fact they had one soup - beef something so I wasn\'t interested. After about 10 minutes of waiting I Found out they run out of shrimp and grits. Okay, no problem, I\'ll have the chicken panini and fries. 40 minutes later my panini comes out cold, accompanied by cold, stale fries. I agreed to have the sandwich reheated but after another 15 minutes decided to simply walk out. Ridiculous! And btw this was on a Monday night so you can imagine how busy they were. |

On my way to the store I realized my stomach was growling. Never a good idea to shop on an empty stomach. A while back in The Savvy Shopper rag in the China Grill ad was a little banner about Wok n Stix being a new location. And because of an event that fell apart this week I had a bug to eat something Asian. So I found it and stopped in.\n\nChinese fast food. They also have hamburgers and a few other things. I stuck with something I figured I would like, orange chicken ($7.95). It came reasonably quick, was too hot to eat right away. Most of my Chinese fast food consists of Panda Express and Ming Gee. This was much better, in addition to the onions and bell peppers listed mine had mushrooms, celery, sprouts and some other stuff. Service was on styrofoam with plastic utensils. Even though I was eating in the rice came in a take out box which I thought was sorta weird. I still hate eating out alone but at least I wasn't the only person in the place. Each side of the place had a long upholstered bench with tables and chairs that could be slid along to make up different seating and two tables in the middle.\n\nThere was nobody being served at the front counter when I was finished so I stopped,picked up a menu and talked to the woman there and found out she is an owner. They have had the place for 6 months and are the same family that owns China Grill not far away. Yuck. Found a foreign object in my fountain soda. Strange flavors in the food. Very spendy. NOW CALLED WOK 'N GRILL\nSo, we dedided to try this over going to Panda thinking a little higher price would be worth it. WRONG!!\nThe Kung Pao (beef?) was a gray -green color and was borderline spoiled meat and the House noodle soup had some weird white gray \nrubbery funny shaped meat they said was chicken. \nWell, you pay when ordering, so we were out the cost of the meal but didn't eat any of it and took it back to the counter and left.\nRuined the evening. Well I went here last week and the sign said Wok N Grill but since their website says "Stix" and this is the same address, I guess maybe I got it wrong. Just a heads up, you may see this place named Wok N Grill somewhere down the road.\n\nSo we walked in and the menu is insane. There is way too much and far too many pictures of the food for anyone to make a reasonable decision. So I asked the guy "what\'s good" to which he replied "besides everything?" Oh har har - aren\'t you clever. Now I\'m pissed at you. So after trying to drag an answer out of him, I told him I wanted spicy and he suggested boring Kung Pao Chicken. I took his advice which, now, makes me more mad at him because it really wasn\'t good. It was a giant plate of 10000 peanuts, 10 stalks of celery, and some giant mutant chicken. Was there value for the meal? Sure. Was it good enough to justify ever eating that much of it? Absolutely not! It was decently spicy but, more so, it was just hot. Like - I stuck this in the microwave for 10 minutes kind of hot. \n\nLet\'s just say, I won\'t be back here. The staff was unhelpful and the food was insane. You can usually tell if a place doesn\'t have good food because they give you a ton of it. This is one of those places. We came here because we were hungry and the name made us laugh. When we got here, the name had apparently changed to an unclever "Wok n Grill." I grabbed a to-go menu on our way in because I could already see the mess of distracting pictures and words all over their "menu board." It was difficult to read and I wasn\'t going to waste time trying. There are too many things on the menu and I got frustrated looking at too many options and went with the relatively boring lemon chicken. The guy behind the counter was unhelpful and kind of frustrating. After we ordered and sat down, we waited for about 10 minutes and got our blazing hot food served to us on styrofoam plates. Argh. The sauce on my lemon chicken was pretty good, albeit a little bit gelatinous. The chicken was good in some parts, but tough and stringy in others. Unfortunately, the thing I hate most with fried foods happened to me here. The batter was put on too thick and was not fried long enough, making the stuff next to the chicken mushy and disgusting. I could only eat a little of it. Bottom line is this place kind of sucks and I won\'t be back. |

It's been my go to since I moved to the north hills. Order some food and you won't be disappointed! If you are going for drinks and bar food to watch a game this is a decent spot. Typically good bar crown, although last time I was there a crew of sloppy drunk loud obnoxious 21 year old guys were there watching the games. Swearing loudly, causing a scene, and the bartender did nothing about it and continued to serve them. I was once this 21 year old so I don't hold it against them too much but it was a horrible experience for everybody else at the bar.\nAs far as going to the restaurant I'd avoid it at all costs. The food sucks. I got fajitas which came with a side of Montezuma revenge. My wife's sandwich was sloppy and greasy. Nothing I'd ever return for. Please PLEASE disregard the other review. Clearly, things have gotten better at Rochester Inn. This restaurant is quite close to us and we've gone often over the past year. The service is always good, the food is really really good, and our check at the end of the meal is always surprisingly lower than we expected. Hands down, this place has the best steak salads in the the 'burgh (possibly my favorite EVER). We've tried the burgers, and they've all been great. The RIbeye was really good. The wings also are good. There's a nice big deck out back, and it seems to do good business in the evenings as a sports bar type place. They frequently advertise live bands, though we haven't been out to check these out yet. Overall, one of my favorite local spots - it's always the first place we take our out-of-town friends when they drop by. Can we do minus stars? She didn't hear the order, brought the wrong item, had the attitude. When the right sandwich came out, what a disappointment. First and last time here. Save yourself go someplace, anyplace else. Looks nice on the outside nothing on the inside. I went with my wife and mom on Saturday, 2/18 mostly because of the band Corned Beef and Curry. We really enjoy live music and they are one of the best around. Highly entertaining and not too loud that it is overwhelming. We ordered a few beers and some wings. I ordered the General TSO'S wings which were very good. My wife had a steak wrap that she said was only ok. The place was pretty crowded, but the bartenders did a good job making sure we had a drink. The place is very big for a local bar with many different choices for seating. We elected to sit at the bar. |

We thought we had struck gold (GOLD, Jerry, GOLD!).\n\nWe had struck nothing more than a horse apple (ref: Shawshank Redemption).\n\nAdmittedly, we messed up and showed up on Thursday (versus Wednesday) for wing night. Our bad. However, one would think that the wings served on Wednesday are the same as the wings served on Thursday. If they ARE different, I\'ll happily try this place again.\n\nAnyway, I walk into a cloud of smoke. I hate to be a pain about this, but isn\'t there a law against cigarette smoke in an establishment that serves food (they even have a dining room!)? This was my first turn off. I guess I\'m "spoiled" by having been able to eat in fresh air.\n\nWe claim a table in the back dining area and immediately start checking out the menus - which, btw, were placed neatly on each table. The bartender comes up and tells us that they are on a "late night" menu (WHAT? It was 7:20pm) and the menus we\'re looking at are basically just a tease.\n\nOK. I took a deep breath (coughed) and moved on.\n\n"So, do you have wings?" I ask.\n"Oh yes, we have wings." Says our server (also the bartender, and worth a mention, very nice and timely with drinks/etc.)\nPHEW\n"But we only have one flavor."\nWHAT?!?\n\nNormally this would be the third strike, but since the googles said they had the NUMBER TWO WINGS in Pittsburgh, we just figured they would be worth it.\n\nSo my group of five decides to tread cautiously and we get 2 dozen wings (hot wings, as that was the only flavor available). FIVE SECONDS LATER the wings were there. I\'m not exaggerating. There is quick, and then there is WAY TOO QUICK. Basically, it was clear to us that these were wings from last night that were either nuked or had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while.\n\nIt gets worse. They were good sized wings, but since they were "leftovers" all the fat was soft and chewy on the wings. And inside, some of the meat was still pink. This is a no-go with chicken. I won\'t even go into detail on the brown, dried up celery...\n\nThe story ends with us not finishing the wings, heading over to Emiliano\'s across the street and having a grand ol\' time with margaritas and nachos.\n\nI will never, never, never go here again (unless I accidentally wander in inebriated for last call). Love the wings!! And the daytime bartender is super sweet when we order take out so thank you :) Excuses isn\'t the type of place you go to for great food, great drinks, or to show off that new glitter dress you bought for your night at Diesel. It\'s the little dive bar you simply go to for a good time!\n\nAside from the average food, and smokiness (yes, smoking is permitted), I\'ve never had a bad experience at Excuses. There\'s often a live band playing, a Pens game on the TV, or some awesomely bad karaoke going down. If you stop in between those "events", a solid draft selection and friendly staff will still be there waiting for you.\n\nNow, if I was rating Excuses for it\'s food alone, it would get three stars. It\'s average grub, but it\'s so affordable that if you\'re expecting something better, your greedy ass deserves to be lathered in hot sauce and licked clean by the dude that runs karaoke...after he works up an appetite from singing his latest Guns N\' Roses tune.\n\nGo for the fun times and positive vibe, and when you wake up the next morning smelling like you\'ve been smoking for 25 years, you can reminisce about whatever nonsense you got into the night before at Excuses. Enjoy! I've always wandered about Excuses as I drive by in my car on E Carson and finally had a chance to go this past weekend. Stopped by to meet up with some friends for some afternoon drinks. The venue is cozy and totally empty except for a few locals. Totally a local dive bar and the drinks are cheap which at that point you've got me sold. A nice low key casual place to throw back a few. The food I'm not so sure about and once it hit about 7pm the place started to get packed. Do you know good music? If you do, you should be at Excuses every Saturday night from 4-8. Don't laugh at the hours. Go see the Aces - some of the most talented musicians in the Burgh - if you see them and don't like them, I'll buy your next beer. They are a classic r and b band that rocks. Bubbs just crushes with his soulful take on classics from Van Morrison and a ton of originals and Frank simply shreds on lead guitar. Johnie kills on keyboards! If you're lucky, there might be a few horns in the house! These guys won't be around forever - do yourself a favor and go see them. And by the way - $6.25 for some excellent grilled and baked wings - what are you waiting for? Owner George is a badass - super nice guy! I guarantee you'll have a good time. If you don't - well - you're hopeless! |

Excellent food and very accommodating to vegan requests. Great pizza and a delicious cauliflower side dish. Like a fat pasta laiden pidgeon this place won't be getting off the ground . Was it the opening date being shuffled about like a back alley game of cups ? Was it the menu being gutted like a frail blonde in a B rate horror movie ? Is it the hordes of flies that make you feel like the young girl sitting at the table next you will start projectile vomitting and speaking in tounges ? The jokingly small portions that make you feel as if you are living in a small Italian village being besegied by the Saracens ? Or could it be how disingenuous it feels just stepping in the door ? Either way come happy,leave hangry and broke . We visited on a Saturday night. It was not busy, but once seated, we waited over 25 minutes for our server - and this was after trying to flag down another server who, unbelievably, purposefully ignored us. Our server eventually came, but was harried and irritated with any questions we had about the menu. My friend's wine smelled moldy, and when she asked to get another glass, the server was tangibly annoyed. Menu prices are high, food was just ok. Extremely loud music playing hard rock (which we asked for the volume to be lowered - which further annoyed our server) certainly didn't help to set the ambience for this Italian restaurant. Rude unprofessional staff, everything we asked for seemed an inconvenience, and just ok, overpriced food. We won't be visiting again. In one word: OVERPRICED!!!! I've been here twice now. The first time I came I they were out of almost every beer I wanted to try. I was disappointed too because it seemed like a good beer list with some stuff I hadn't had. I sat inside at the bar and was almost eaten alive by mosquitos. I even asked for my check early because I had to get out of there. But after the bartender dropped my check he disappeared for 10-15 minutes while I sat there swatting bugs and wondering if I should just walk out. Ate there again recently and didn't have an issue with mosquitos but wasn't impressed with the food. Not really an extensive menu and waaay overpriced. No apps under around $14. And the pizza I ordered was so thin and tasteless. But the biggest issue are the prices. The restaurant overlooks a street and some kind of retirement home. For that kind of ambience there's no way the prices should be where they're at. Won't be back Its great to find a restaurant open late on a Sunday to begin with, but what a treat this was. I had to have the GF (Grass Fed not Gluten Free...although it was) NY Strip. Deliciously cooked to perfection. My wife had the pesto pasta which was delicious as well. The pesto had a very fresh flavor with a bit a kick...maybe some arugula? They have only been open for a week, but have really ironed out any wrinkles mentioned in previous reviews. Everyone friendly. Service spot on. Food exceptional. Can't wait to come back and try the Octopus appetizer! |

I love their Greek salad with gyro meat. The food is just phenomenal. Truly authentic food. Service is always good too. I was excited to try this new place after reading the reviews. We ordered a plate of falafel, babaghanouj, and chicken shawarma. The chicken had no taste, had to send back the falafel because they were raw in the middle. The replacement were burnt and tasteless. The babaghanouj tasted good and the bread was fine. They gave us free dessert to go, which we did not eat, so can not comment on it.\nThe place is clean and owners are nice, food was pretty bad. Nice to see Glendale getting some Greek love! Between here and Al's Gyros, you've got some solid lunch options if you're in the mood for some juicy, flavorful shaved gyro or shawarma -- all that's missing is some traditional d\xc3\xb6ner kebab, and you've got the full Mediterranean Basin represented!\n\nI typically get the combo plate and mix it up with the meats. You can't go wrong with some classic spit roasted gyro, and I'd also recommend either the steak or chicken shawarma. The beef kebab I thought could spend a little more time marinating but was grilled nicely. They load you up with the plates -- there's a generous helping of tasty seasoned rice, and you have the option to include a soup and salad to round out the Mediterranean palate.\n\nInside, it's well-lit and clean with the tables spread out so you've got some stretching room, though I'm typically in a hurry for lunch and get it to go. The staff is friendly, and the turnaround is quick -- less than ten minutes, even for the grilled kebab. Also, they have discounts if you work in the area. Word of warning: it's pungent (as it should be), so if you've got coworkers with sensitive nostrils, maybe take it to the cafeteria and not your desk. YUM! Loved this place! Nice, clean, friendly and fresh! We came for lunch and we were not disappointed. The food was so delicious. I am happy to say I found a place to have some really awesome mediterranean food. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. Stop in and give them a try. Best baklava in town!! |

I just expected better. I really wanted to love this place because I have some friends that live down in the valley so they like going out there. I'd try it again because maybe we just went on a bad night. It didn't really seem that busy though and we were there for awhile. I hesitate to give a pub five stars and was surprised my hosts chose this place. But the service was excellent, the Goat Cheese Salads delicious & generous in portion, and the Cajun Salmon Sandwich yummy. Good beer selection, too (of course)! Great place to eat great atmosphere. Love the menu. We eat here a lot and love to bring friends and family here. They have a very wide selection of alcoholic beverages to chose from. Love the sweet potato fries. Please look at there menu online. And go and have a good time. Went to watch Browns game. Ordered hummus with some veggies. Broccoli was spoiled rotten to the point where I was confused how nobody in the kitchen stopped to look at it. Planned to stay all day and watch games. Paid my tab immediately and left. \n\nOn the plus side the service was great. This place was fantastic! Start to finish. \n\nMy date and I started off with a pair of their delicious martinis (The Hip Smurf was amazing) and we had our drinks almost immediately. We then shared the buffalo chicken wontons, a great twist on the standard appetizer. Highly recommend.\n\nFor dinner, we both got one of their sandwiches. The way the have the menu set up, you get to pick your protein (burger, turkey, chicken, salmon, black bean burger) and then it shows all their topping recommendations. Both of our sandwiches were great. \n\nThe wait staff was great. Very polite and very accommodating. At one point, my date asked were the smoking area was (out front or on the patio) and our waiter was prepared to move us outside so that we could smoke freely. We told him that was not necessary but he was eager to help in any way possible. \n\nFor a nice, inexpensive (7-9 dollars per sandwich/ 7 dollar martinis) nice dinner option, Pub Bricco is hard to beat. |

It was pure cinnamony milky goodness. She told me she got it at Zaba's and I made it a mission to get more. \n\nI ordered a gallon of the Horchata. I even brought it to work and shared it with a co worker and she even liked it! I also ordered the Zalapenos for the road and that too was good. If you like mashed potato balls, this will be good for you. It was nice and hot! \n\nI'll definitely have to come back and try the rest of their menu.\n\nSo with that being said, Happy Eatings! I'm sorry... this place just does not compare to Chipotle. I don't mean it's not as good, they just aren't comparable. With that out of the way, the food was just ok, the flavor wasn't really there for me. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but I tried the chicken bowl, queso, civeche and the corn. The corn was the best part, queso was terrible and civeche was also just o.k. For $26 I'd rather have had something nicer. This place was a rip off of Chipotle except a little more expensive and not as tasty. They also want to charge you extra for everything, including sour cream. Basically a locally owned "chipotle". It\'s not somewhere you\'ll be excited to go. But It\'s a good place to eat a healthier fast food lunch. It would be cooler if they took a gamble and made it into genuine Mexican flavor chipotle but it almost tastes exactly the same. Which is not a bad thing, everybody likes chipotle. \nNice Decor. Looks clean. Saw this place opening recently and talked to a couple of people at the nearby bank about it. They both told me it was similar to Chipotle. They were definitely right. While I think I prefer the quality of Chipotle's ingredients, I like the options that Zaba's has more.\n\nChipotle has better rice and barbacoa (Zaba's shredded beef is the closest thing), but Zaba's has better chicken and I love that you can get potatoes as well (and they're good!). Zaba's spicy salsa is really good, too. One cool thing is that if you get one of their bowls but don't get many ingredients they will give you a discount. I think a chicken bowl is normally around $7 but since I got one with chicken, rice, and cheese only they only charged $5 or so for it.\n\nEveryone told me that Zaba's has larger portions than Chipotle, but I didn't really sense that from the bowls. Employees are very cheery despite being very busy during their big opening week. I'll definitely be heading back. |

My Spicy (turkey) Burger was delicious and just the right serving size (read: not overwhelmingly huge). The mac & cheese bites and the accompanying spicy ranch dipping sauce were decadent and delightful. \n\nNightlife: Truthfully, beer isn't my drink of choice but I have had some amazing brews here. The chocolate shake porter stands out in my mind.\n\nSummer Fun: Everyone knows that Cleveland comes alive during the summer months. Nanobrew is no exception. Their spacious back patio features giant Jenga and Connect Four. Love! Maleke and Danika are the best servers/friends anybody be can ask for at the Nano Brew! We've been to Nano Brew a few times since its opening, and been duly impressed. After reading the reviews that have been posted, I have to ask the question, what are people expecting?\n\nNano Brew has a small selection of their own beers, paired with a selection of unique drafts and bottles. This is not Harbor Inn, or any other establishment that attempts to wow you with 100+ selections. The beers are meant for those who appreciate a particular taste or style. I appreciate this, and have been happy with the selections I've chosen.\n\nIf you go to Nano Brew, you MUST try the PB&J burger. Natural peanut butter with bacon jam on a burger. I didn't know what to expect, but HEAVEN is what I got! I'm not sure I'll ever order anything else as long as it's on the menu. It's that good.\n\nOn the down side, I've only been ton Nano Brew during cooler weather, and the seating is lacking. It's been a struggle to find seating on most weeknights, and we've left without being seated before. I assume that the outdoor seating area will help when the weather warms up, and if it's as nice as it looks, it'll be a regular part of our rotation. Awesome, just a awesome place to hang out. Good people and great beers. Also had Mac and cheese bites and I must say the best I ever had. Also enjoyed a burger which was solid. But the beer is what we came for. So be prepared to sit a while and try several beers. U won't wanna leave If you like sitting at a table and being ignored, then this is the place for you! They only serve who they want to serve. So I will serve them with a one star review. |

Not only is it a Raiders bar, but its also a babe layer.\n\nAll the waitress' are super cool and always help.\n\nThe food is bomb too. The chicken fingers don't taste like someone stomped them out with muddy work boots out in the parking lot before they were served. \n\nGet your drink on and your grub on at this place. If you are expecting it to be a 5 star restaurant like Red Lobster, don't even bother driving your mini van with a huge dent in the side of it to Mama's. Go to taco bell. ***** Drove by on 1/4/2013 and now the place is called "Spur Saloon" - Looks like the same -owners. It\'s been 3 different bars in about 3 years now. Ordered online thru Living Social. For a free $10 credit, why the heck not!\nTried the BBQ burger with a side salad and fish/chips. I sampled both--not too shabby,\nThey forgot half the order and the place was empty upon food pickup. Not even an offer of a free drink to go for forgetting the other half of the food.\nOverall, not overly impressed, but not a bad alternative.\nThis location has been about four other things in the past five years. Looks like they have a bunch of random happenings during the week--poker, pool tournaments, and trivia. Lots of tv's--all tuned to football. Also included are some pretty good drink specials. With the last day of the month being my busiest day, I thought I would order delivery instead of leaving work. I found this place on website that shows local businesses that deliver. $19 later I placed an order for a hamburger and onion rings, little expensive but oh well. The only nice thing I can say was that it arrived on time. The hamburger was barely warm, and both buns were soggy. It had no bbq sauce. The onion rings were instead a pile of limp onions with barely cooked batter. There was nothing edible about this meal. Absolute waste of money. OKs...\n\nCons:\n- Dark paint scheme! If you're going to do Maroon and Black you need something to off-set the darkness like windows or light wood furniture. You walk in and think Crypt/ Biker bar/ 'Striving to be a dive bar' type place all because of the paint. Not inviting feeling at all.\n- Decore - sucks. It has virtually no decore yet what it had looks ugly and run down. It's ok now that they have Halloween decorations but without them its so empty and sterile.\n- Bar layout - can't see all the taps from anywhere around the bar, nor the different types of liquor bottles as they are in two separate areas and not lit up. \n- Lighting - I'm not asking for the sun, but If you have trouble reading the menu, some people aren't going to order anything but beer.\n\nPros:\n- The $1.75 beers on HH / $3.50 mini-pitchers\n- Fried cheese curds which you can't find anywhere else\n- Clean bar/ tables\n- Bar tenders aren't afraid to cut people off\n- Plenty of parking\n- UFC fights sometimes - they didn't play it last few weekends but they do sometimes.\n\nIt's a OK bar with a lot of potential.. like Kileys was. It will be interesting if this once makes it or not. |

A must if you're in Cleveland!\n1 (216) 938-5261 Normally I\'m satisfied with the meal I get from New World ..... today was not the case.\nI ordered breakfast, Home fries, Turkey bacon and French Toast.... Home Fries excellent, cooked to perfection, bacon was like rubber, french toast was hard as rock, I had everyone in my office touch it because I wasn\'t going to eat it. The answer I received when I called to complain "well usually we\'re told it\'s too wet, I\'ll just have to give you french toast the next time you come back" and hangs up. How can you compensate me when you don\'t even know who I am? Next time...........I think not.\nSo Very Done!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible service I purchased a world and fries for dinner the burger is huge I had to wipe my mouth after the first bite I was unable to clean my lower face because of blood on the napkin I drove back to the restaurant and they got angry cursing and accused me of putting the blood on the napkin. What's wrong with the sandwich he asked? I don't want to know with all this blood on the napkin . I gave the and will never eat there or offer any one else to eat there. I always come to this restaurant when I vist Cleveland. Best food and no pork. Breakfast is awesome! Food is fresh and the employees are nice. |

The restaurant is very striking, from the impressionable doors to the charming, rustic d\xc3\xa9cor it creates quite the ambiance.The menu can feel a little disjointed at first glance, as it's arranged by sea, earth and pasture, rather than apps, primi and secondi. We opted for the oysters, the fried bread with shrimp and scallops, the scrigno, the ravioli, merluzzo all Siciliana, and the salsice drums.\n\nThe real standouts for me were the fried tremazzino, the scrigno, and the ravioli. The tremazzino was full of fresh shrimp and scallops with crisp bread and chives - reminiscent of the best grilled cheese sandwich you could ever think of. The scrigno was bursting with fresh gorgonzola and braised radicchio, very balanced robust flavours and perfectly made pasta to wrap it all together. But my real favourite was the ravioli. Stuffed with mushrooms and snails, the rich earthy flavor was balanced by a rich cream sauce, all wrapped in a perfect al-dente pasta - truly a shame they're only served in threes.\n\nThe oysters were topped with little lemon juice-filled pearls that would burst when eaten - I found the lemon was a little to sharp and overpowering to appreciate the fresh Kusshis. The sausage drumsticks were a bit of a miss for me too, they weren't that interesting, flavourful and were a little too tough.\n\nI'm looking forward to make my way back and try some more of the menu items that captured by curiosity. Wonderful service. Wonderful wine lists. Quality and good tasting food. But be warned that the the portions are tiny (eat before or after going to Il Covo). Amazing food and service. Really liked the idea of Italian shareable dishes with a Venetian concept, probably coming back soon. Service was really attentive, made my night memorable.\nWe were a party of two and we ordered the tramezino fritto (4/5 points), scigno (5/5 points), raviolini con lumanche (5/5 points) - best dish of the night, agnello alla grillia (5/5 points)- not a shareable dish thou, an the pork and lamb sausage (4/5 points). The portions are really small, so don't be scared of ordering approximately 3 dishes per person\nNot impressive dessert, that is why I give this restaurant 4 stars. Went for dinner on Saturday night, ladies night; was not expecting what we got. Ordered a tasting menu with a wine tasting menu. \n\nMouthwatering. Unbelievable. Just go. Cicchetti are small snacks or side dishes, typically served in traditional "b\xc3\xa0cari" (cicchetti bars or osterie) in Venice, Italy.\n\nBuca ex chef Ryan Campbell does cook up a storm of Cicchetti in his new venture Il Covo with this Cicchetti concept in Little Italy. I was transferred for a few hour to somewhere warm, where people just wine and dine and sharing good food and wine with friends! \n\nWhat should we order?? Everything looks good in the menu. The beauty of smaller plates does let me try out different items and this is especially great when my friend willing to share everything with me!!\n\ndal mare\nostriche ~ west coast kusshi oysters, watercress, lemon\ninsalata di mare ~ chilled salad of mixed seafood, salsa verde, trout roe, pickled peppers\nmeriuzzo alla siciliana ~ tomato braised black cod, basil, caper, pine nut, olive monacale\n\ndall\'orto\nscrigno ~ chest of past a filled with gorgonzola and radicchio di chioggia, mosto cotto\n\ndal psacolo\nnduja abruzzese ~ pork skin crackling, spreadable salame from abruzzo, artichoke ash\nraviolini con lumache ~ garlic braised snail and mushroom stuffed pasta, cow\'s cream, goat\'s butter, rosemary oil\nagnello alla griglia ~ grilled lamb, graffiti eggplant, yukon potato, rosemary\n\ndal casaro\nburrino ~ butter rolled in mozzarella, warm bread, sicillian white anchovy\nblu di frabosa ~ pasteurized blue veined sheep\'s milk cheese, aged 8 months, piemonte, served with blood orange rose\ngorgonzola carozzi ~ pasteurized blue veined cow\'s milk cheese aged 4 months, from lombardia ,served with apple mostarda\n\ndal forno\ntiramisu al limone ~ lemon lady finger, limoncello, mascarpone mousse\ntartufo ~ zabaglione gelato, candied almond, chocolate liquor\n\nThere are also a wide selection of wine to pair with all your food. Giuseppe Marchesini also from Buca would help you with the wine selection. And if you are not a wine drinker, there is also Italian style cocktails, spirits and other drink options.\n\nI can\'t wait to be back and try out other items on the menu. I still thinking of that soft and creamy burrino with fresh baked bread whenever I have my carb craving! |

It can get crowded but when that happens, you can just wait in the lively bar area with the regulars. Pints are pretty cheap (under $3) and you caneven order bar food there if you can't wait for your table to be ready in the dining hall. Also in the bar area you'll find lots of military patches on display along the walls which is interesting to look at. I took my parents here when they visited and my Dad noticed some patches from when he was in the army, stationed in Germany in the late 1950s/early 1960s. \n\nAnother perk at the VFW is there's usually a live band on Friday's starting at 8pm (no cover). Lots of dancing ensues. Good times! Fish Fry is served 5-8pm I believe. I think everything on the menu is reasonable priced and yummy. Your entree comes with bread, choice of coleslaw or cottage cheese, and choice of french fries or baked potato. Dessert is extra and they often run out. Beware, cash only. Service has always been friendly too. I think all of the servers are part of the ladies auxiliary. . These are wonderful people! This is an outstanding organization! They are a five star for the service and dedication they have displayed throughout life. \n\nThe bar area is large, plenty of room for socializing and such.\n\nThe fish fry was just not my cup of tea. The price is right mostly but the portions are small. The fish needs to be more crispy for my taste. The hash browns are okay. The French fries not so okay\n\nI would never say do not support your local VFW. They deserve our support for their service. Just understand the fish fry could be better I give this place five stars based simply on pricing and hospitality/friendliness. The VFW hosted a tournament for my darts league last weekend, and they were by far the best hosts we've ever had for one of these events. The small-staffed kitchen made sure to get an early start and get everybody fed (these tend to be pretty boozy events), and they served up one of the best $3.50 cheeseburgers I've ever had. Domestic taps at $2 and a small but nice selection of micros and import taps for $2.75. You simply can't beat that anywhere in the Madison area. The bar patrons were very cordial, with several going out of their way to ask if us newcomers were having a good time. Bartenders were extremely friendly as well. Now that I know this place is open to the public, I'll certainly be coming back. I hope we can get more tournaments here in the future. Thanks, guys! Cheap (like, really cheap) drinks, great Friday fish fry, and a ton of old guys who will talk to you about really random things or tell you how dumb your tattoos are. The bar special on Fridays is something like 5 or 6 dollars for what seems like 8 pounds of french fries and cod chunks. \n\nFish fry overview: Flaky, tender, cod, with a light batter. Crispy wavy cut fries. Delicious tartar sauce. Average coleslaw. Tasty roll. \n\nBonus: You get a molasses cookie with your meal!\n\nBonus 2: They have amazing pie!\n\nOn top of the cheap drinks (tYMMV, but my old fashioned was delicious) and tasty fish you also get very attentive wait staff that are all super friendly. \n\nI am so glad i live a few blocks from here because I don't know if I would have ever experienced it otherwise. Good stuff! The fried cod was fair and the potato was okay. The fries left something to be desired. Overall price was nominal, but a bit high relative to the quality. \nCAUTION: this place only takes cash; however, there is an ATM on premises. I am sure I will find places that offer better quality fare and accept plastic. |

We were craving Japanese curry and this is open late. Tokyo Kitchen is super cute! They have non-matching furniture which is always fun. It is a curry restaurant. They had a few chef specials like spaghetti and stew, but the menu offers mostly curry. There is maybe 10 different types of toppings you can choose from. I got the chicken cutlet with cheese added with 0 spicy level. I usually choose this to be save at first because I know how some places can be. They also have a "sweet" option which is cool. The curry was not as thick as other places like zen curry but it was still tasty. I had a couple of their desserts and they were both very delicious. The service was okay. The waiters seem to be new at serving, so I kind of have empathy for them cause I have been a server before. Otherwise, everything went well. Will definitely come again when I have a late night curry craving. Tokyo kitchen is a cool place. The interior is pretty nice. I got the omelet rice and it was cool. I had some pork cutlet on the side and that was tasty. The pieces of the pork cutlet were pretty big.\n\nWhen my friend and I came in we were the only ones in there. Our food took about 15-20 minutes. We ordered 2 omelet rices and a side of pork cutlet. \n\nThe waitress was super nice she also answered some questions I had about the food. Defiantly coming back to try the curry next time. \n\nOverall my first time experience here was not bad. New curry place in the corner of the second floor. We saw a sign pointing to their place and thought to check it out. The place is decorated really cute and has a very lounge-y feel to it. I ordered the katsu curry and added veggies with a spice level 5. I really like spicy food and this had a pretty comfortable spice that kind of builds up like when you eat hot cheetos. They have a very interesting concept to their place because they have some board games laying around for you to play. So in a sense it's like an asian cafe with more dinner-time foods. My boyfriend and I broke out the game of Blokus I felt like such a happy little kid getting to play games while I ate my meal. Everything was delicious, and they had little pickled sides on the table which I practically ate most of. At the back next to the games they also had cute cut out frames for posting on facebook and instagram, so when you share it on social media they let you try a dessert. We picked the chocolate banana parfait. It was more like a sundae and there were some Frosted Flakes type stuff on the bottom, which was a nice texture to everything. The staff was very nice and the waitress was very personable. Definitely a good place to just hang out with your friends. Tokyo Kitchen is a new restaurant that has taken over the old Kaba Curry place in Chinatown. After walking in, the dining room has a more upscale feel to it than its previous incarnation. I particularly like the chairs in this place, they are super comfy.\n\nLooking at the menu, it looks like they are going for a casual Japanese cafe type food with a focus on curries, vegetable bowls, appetizers including okonomiyaki, and desserts. After ordering from the friendly server, I waited.\n\nThe food took an abnormally long time to come out. It was about 25 minutes after I ordered, and I was the only person in the restaurant.\n\nThe okonomiyaki came first, after taking a few bites, I sent it back because it was barely above room temperature. When it came back, the chef just took the one I sent back, and heated it up so it was burnt on the bottom. \n\nThe Katsu Curry wasn't a success as well. I kept hearing a microwave go off, and I thought that was odd. When my dish came, I understood why. The pork was tough as rubber and was separating from the overcooked panko crust, and was watery. I ate half because I was trying to figure out why it tasted so weird. The curry tasted average and the rice tasted like it had been sitting in a holder for half the day. Fortunately, the server didn't charge me for the okonomiyaki.\n\nI gave an extra star because my server was really nice and pleasant. But the food is poorly prepared. Went once, good. Called to order lunch about a week later, no one answered. Tried again on a Saturday, closed. Not sure what's going on. ..they don't keep their posted times. \n\nWould give them more stars if they were ever open. |

Great cantina with a small deli containing many unique food ingredients that you cannot find in the area. \n\nWonderful owners from South America who will make you feel right at home and the food is just ethereal.\n\nNew stuff:\nBetter restaurant dining space\n\nLocation, tough to find right now bc Yelp and other map apps will lead you to their old location. Just use that and drive around the whole plaza, you'll find it. Call them if you're lost, they're really helpful.\n\nTable service, place your order at the counter and the server will bring your order to you. \n\nPay at the front, and tip.\n\nCash only for now, so plan ahead and hit the ATM before you go.\n\nShop in the market. Prices are crazy good. I got limes at 8 for $1, and avocados were $1.25 each, which is great these days. I need to repeat that the new location is very nice on the inside and the outside. The experience changed a lot for the better for most people I'm sure. I kind of miss the mystery of the old restaurant, but the progress is impressive! Please stop in for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed. They were cash only for a while, not sure if that changed. Might want to call before you go. Had a quesadilla for my first visit-- completely packed with meat and came with Mexican rice. Filling and delicious! This is the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Very affordable - service is great and fast also. My boyfriend grew up in Bedford Heights and took\nme there - omg. We live nearby and whenever we visit his parents I MUST STOP! I order so much they know what I want when I enter. Amazing. Great Latino food. One of my new favorite places. The tacos are awesome and you can't beat the chicken quesadilla and rice for $5.50. The food is so good that I eat it before I realize I have not even taken a picture. |

The atmosphere is awesome, quite classy and the food was even better! Being a vegetarian it is always welcoming when you open a menu and see a vegetarian entree! I ordered the eggplant parmigiana caniloni as a main (entree); extremely flavourful, well thought out and a great presentation! My girlfriend had ordered the Risotto, again extremely flavourful and perfectly seasoned! \n\nThe reason for the 4/5 and not 5/5 was the service. We had to ask twice for water, and asked for extra bread which never arrived. \n\nOther then that I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and will be making a return visit! Amazing flavour to their dishes! I actually ordered with UberEats, we got the Mondello platter for two! The bruschetta was so good! \nVery authentic Italian, thank you for the great dinner! The server kept touching my wife's back. It was kind of weird. Server then forgot us on the patio and we had to go track her down to place an order (the platter). The platter was bush league - salad drenched in oil, bruscheta that was essentially sliced tomato on un-toasted bread. We ordered the chicken marsala as a main with mashed potatoes. Apparently they were sold out of mashed potatoes, so without consulting us they decided gnocchi in tomato sauce was going to be the substitute. And they sent us veal instead of chicken (??). We sent the veal and gnocchi back and left unsatisfied. Not going back. So...after all the rave reviews I keep hearing about Mondellos...I decided to have date night there...As you can tell by my rating, I really was not impressed by them. MAYBE I came on a bad night or something but i was thoroughly underwhelmed..Ill give you a quick run down why:\n1. Mondello platter - arancini balls tasted stale specifically the texture of the crumb coating was completely off.\n2. Wild mushroom tortellini with truffle cream sauce- absolutely bland in taste and presentation. Cream sauce was way too heavy and looked like it was breaking. The chicken in the pasta was extremely tough and also tasteless.\n3. Boyfriend had the lamb loin- for some reason the whole plate was cold. The lamb was cold, mashed potatoes cold, veggies cold. Our waiter first offered to microwave it? And after a 2nd hesitant offer , we got a new piping hot plate only to find out that the lamb was over cooked. But we were way too tired and sleepy to complain again. The waiter also said the lamb was on the house cuz it was their fault. But close to when we decided to get dessert he said he meant that dessert would be on the house not the lamb lol.\n4. Profiteroles- only becuz their creme brulee was all finished :-( as someone who makes profiteroles many times and has eaten them various places in the world I can definitely say those were the worse profiteroles ever. \n\nI feel absolutely terrible writing bad reviews becuz maybe it just wasnt their night....cuz everyone else seems to have loved their experience. I will probably not go again unless someone drags me there but ...thats just my opinion. Re-visitation. Must use newly-developed pizza rating system!\n\nCrust Texture: Cracker-thin crust that still manages to be chewy.\n\nCrust Flavor: Salty and chewy-yummy. Great.\n\nSauce Flavor: Sweet and tangy and herbal - AUTHENTICO!\n\nSauce Amount: Perfection. Light so the crust isn't affected by the moisture.\n\nCheese Flavour: FRESH and mild - quality cheese = subtle but beautiful flavour.\n\nCheese Amount : Again, light-handed: classic Italian way of cheesing a 'za!\n\nTopping Quality: Fresh fresh fresh tomato sauce, top-quality mozzarella with minimal herbs. Gorgeous. \n\nTopping Amount: Applied with the lightest hand - beautiful.\n\nPresentation: Fine - you can tell it's not a top-notch TO Italian resto, but I think it's good for Mississauga. Is that terrible to say?\n\nOverall Taste: YUM. Full four stars. |

Did not try the food because they made the start not so pleasant. This was our first meal in Vegas and it didn't disappoint. My fiancee and I shared a burger and the Cowboy nachos which were AMAZING. We sat at the bar and the bartender was quick and very friendly. We loved the nachos so much... A few nights later after drinking we decided we wanted a snack. Unfortunately we were too late. We will definitely be back. Unquestionably the worst chicken sandwich I've ever had. The chicken was so rubbery, I could barely bite it. Eventually, I left half of it on the plate. The server didn't seem to notice or care. \n\nMaybe their burgers are better, I dunno. \n\nService was surprisingly slow, items went missing... I'd understand if it was really busy, but at 10:30 on a Sunday night? C'mon. I can say that the shakes are the best here! There's your 1 star. \n\nHowever, after the manager greeted us pleasantly it was all over from there. If I could give a zero I would. The entire customer service experience was terrible. Waitress was the most unfriendly person I have ever had serve me. First she didn't bring my son his water, we waited 10 minutes before she came around again. She had the look as if she hated her job. I had to ask for napkins, straws, refills on water. It was like we were an inconvenience to her. This experience reminds me that the cost of a place doesn't mean great service. If you're hungry wait it out... go anywhere elsewhere. Maybe if you want your food to go you can at least skip the 1/1 interaction. Food was pretty good, but the service is very poor. Waiter took our order, someone else brought food.We sat there with no refills on drinks, waiter didn't come back till we had finished meal. |

We get the Craft 2 and chips and queso and 2 drinks with free refills for around $20,bucks and it's more than enough for a quick meal. The Craft 2 gives you 2 tacos and choice of another item so we get the quesidilla. Yummy. Qdoba Rewards (free membership) http://www.qdoba.com/rewards\n\n- Chipotle and Qdoba seem identical except for Chipotle using organic/non-GMO ingredients and Qdoba providing free guacamole (Chipotle charges about $2), so I'll say it's a toss up on which I prefer.\n- I received a B1G1 Free (buy 1, get 1 free) entree coupon in the mail so gave this place a shot.\n- Having signed up for Qdoba Rewards, about once a month I receive a B1G1 Free coupon via e-mail.\n- The times I've been to this location, about 10:30 am, lines were short, service was quick, food tasty. I was shopping nearby and spotted this Qdoba. I had never been to one before so I decided to give it a try.\n\nTo sum up the look, feel, and menu of the restaurant, all I need to say is think Chipotle. If you've ever been to a Chipotle then you've been here. \n\nThe menu is also 90% identical to Chipotle, just named a little different.\n\nSince I love the steak fajita burrito at Chipotle, I decided to get the same thing here. It wasn't hard- you order exactly the same way and direct the worker to add what you want (exactly the same ingredients available too).\n\nSo I got my carbon copy burrito and unfortunately the taste was the only thing different. The steak in the Qdoba was not seasoned- it was just steak. I'll admit it was good steak, but in a burrito, I want seasoned meat. The burrito was a bit bland IMO.\n\nSo to sum up, I found Qdoba to be a near perfect copy of Chipotle- except for the lack of flavor.\n\nOnly 2 stars for being copy-cats. Excellent customer service, Affordable price. The staff created a plate of all 3 of the most popular tacos. The cheese dip is amazing. They were very pleasant and afterwards came to the table to clear our plates and ask if we enjoyed the food. Extremely impressed with the customer service for a fast food restaurant. I met my long time friend Tracy, last Friday, at Q-doba for lunch. It was her first time. She was so impressed! I've been telling her for months about how GREAT this place is! She loved all the extra's you get for free, like all the queso sauces, and guacamole you want! The cool coke machine with more than 100 flavors is a bonus! Nice people, good food, good value! |

I went there a couple times a few years ago, the sushi tasted average but the prices were higher than average.\n\nSo whenever I felt like sushi, but didn't want to go all the way down to Bloor for New Generation sushi, I'd go to Haru Sushi on the northwest corner of Yonge and Davisville. This is my first time ordering from I Zu, needless to say I wasn't all that impressed.\n\nI ordered a veggie bento and expected a bento, but that's not what I received. \n\n1. Salad, if you can call it that, was iceberg lettuce with ONE tomato slice. The dressing looked homemade, but that's not really a salad. The lettuce type, fine, I don't expect mixed greens, but come on.\n\n2. Miso. The soup had tofu cubes that were about 2cm blocks. They were the tiniest slivers of tofu I've ever seen.\n\n3. The rolls were fine, they were 6 avocado, 6 kappa and they substituted the futo maki for my request of shiitake. \n\nI expected a bento with tempura, rice, and rice. I also did not receive soy sauce. Just not pleased overall. \n\nAt least the wasbi tasted real and the ginger was white, not the pink grossness that usually passes for ginger. \n\nMaybe if you like meat/fish this place does things better, but I'd only recommend this if you're in a pinch and have no other options. Ordered from here via just-eat.ca - this review applies to delivery experience. \n\nStarted off poorly when it took them about 1 hr 50 minutes to deliver the food. \n\nFood showed up and it was surprisingly fresh. Taste overall was ok, but rolls weren\'t sliced properly and weren\'t rolled properly, so they all collapsed completely when we tried to eat them. Made for a very messy dinner that required lots of use of a sharp knife to cut through the seaweed wrappings. \n\nThey gave us a $10 off gift certificate for the next time, but there won\'t be one - too many other good options for the same "basic" sushi. I thought it would be a lot busier than it actually was for a 7pm crowd. I live in the neighbourhood so I've walked past I Zu a few times and its typically 60% full. The food was aite but not amazing. Pretty much your average sit-down sushi place. They have a combo for two ($34) that comes in the shape of a boat and has 2 pieces of salmon, tuna, butterfish, squid and unagi sushi and a few maki rolls. We ate it with 3 people and it was still pretty filling. |

Mark & Philly's has been a Cuyahoga Falls go-to for years and there's a good reason for that: they're awesome! The owners are knowledgeable and friendly. The food is made from scratch and delicious. The prices won't empty your bank account, and they even deliver. While they're known for their pizza, I second what someone below me said about the lasagna - it's to die for. Or sample the breaded fish and french fries... they're both crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I also love the Potatoes Au Gratin. Give Mark & Philly's a try, you won't be disappointed! Pizza was decent. Lady on the phone (owner, I'm guessing as she was the only one in the place when I picked up) was short and rude, and pretty much the same face to face. Also, they are pretty proud of their pizza, as their prices show. This place use to serve the best pizza in the Falls area. We ordered from there recently the food was pretty good but the service wasn't great. I felt like the girl working was in a rush to get home and didn't want anymore customers to order. It was an hour before they closed up but still customer service goes a long way. Mark and Philly's makes lots of good sandwiches and pizza, but the very best thing is the Sicilian Pie, a pizza with a heavy layer of cheese on top. I'm back visiting Akron and had my first pie in a couple years tonight and it as good as when I lived here, There is nothing like it anywhere. |

You gotta be joking. The drive thru is horrible they can't here u and u can't here them don't waist your time here. I have asked for no cheese more than once. I'm never spending money here again. Okay seriously??? It\'s Saturday, October 21st 12:30 AM just so you can pin point exactly who was working the drive through. She was a Mexican girl, brown curly hair. I bought a gift card for Carl\'s Jr. This morning it worked just fine. I went back and after 20 minutes of sitting there in the drive through she said "sorry there\'s no funds" and hands it back to me. I called the number on the card and put it on speaker so she could hear it tell me that I had $12.17 on the card and she just stared at me and said "sorry" I asked to speak to a manager and she said "there isn\'t one sorry" are you kidding me? So I just wasted money buying this gift card that doesn\'t even work. Thanks. Maybe adequately train your employees to use the computers or how to use a gift card. I wasted money and 30 minutes of my life sitting there so you can just lie to me and say "sorry there\'s no money" when, in fact, there\'s $12.17. I\'ll be by in the morning to inquire from a manager why your employees don\'t know how to run a gift card and why your restaurant is being left unattended for poorly trained employees to not know how to let someone pay for their food. Don't go here. The drive thru staff is incompetent, and no matter how simple your order is they will find a way to screw it up. I live right around d the corner and this location is CONSISTENTLY a let down. Wanted the Teriyaki Burger. The guy at the register informed me they were out of pineapple and asked if that was okay. Nope! He asked if it was really that good because he hasn't tried it but everyone was getting upset about the pineapple. I wasn't upset, but the pineapple does complete the teriyaki burger. So I went with my usual Western Bacon Cheeseburger combo with the new Fresh Baked bun. I might add the place smelled like a bakery, which was pretty awesome. When our food came out, my burger was on the regular sesame seed bun. Just as my b/f started to get up to take it back, the cashier brought over the correct one. So at least he remedied the error quickly. And the Fresh Baked bun was great. But I still have to wonder why these fast food workers think they deserve $15 an hour... |

It was so yummy!! I tried to go to the sunset grill closer to home at Kingston and morningside but their food just didn't compare, it actually kind of sucked. So now this is the only location I go to, food and service is always quick and delicious. Not a fan of this place. The food is nothing special, the decor is underwhelming and the service is below par. It's a no flare place for cheap breakfast food. The server did not look happy to be there and pretty much ignored our table once the food came out. I will not be returning or recommending anyone to eat here. This is a very good breakfast spot, which serves breakfast all day long.\nI ordered scrambled eggs and a black coffee. I really wanted an omelet, but the calorie count (posted on the menu) made me feel like the scrambled eggs would be the righteous choice.\nMy meal was delivered quickly, soon after I ordered, and the home fries and dark rye toast (which I selected from their array of toast options) were a nice, flavorful counterpoint to the rather bland but satisfying scrambled eggs. The coffee was good, the service was efficient and pleasant, and after I paid at the cash I felt sufficiently invigorated to retrieve my vehicle from one of the shops at the nearby auto-mall.\nIf you are having your car fixed at, for example Krown Rust in Pickering, spending your waiting time at the Sunset Grill is not bad.They even have newspapers by the front window, so that you can be entertained as you eat.\nI know that next time, I will order the omelet, as I saw the omelets that others were eating. The omelets certainly looked great - well stuffed and done perfectly, from what I could discern as an observer. So, me and the BF went to Sunset Grill this weekend. As my BF is a former server at restaurants he gets very ticked with poor customer service.\n\nWe had an older waitress with blonde hair and who took our orders and seemed quite cold. Didn\'t have a very friendly demeanor at all. I ordered the Super Breakfast (2 pancakes, 3 scrambled eggs, homefries and bacon) with a coffee. My BF ordered something similar but he had no pancakes, sausage instead of bacon and toast instead with a hot chocolate. Our food came out in a timely manner which was great but we were given no utensils. \n\nAs we kept a watchful eye for our server we were hoping that\'s where she ran off to but instead she got distracted doing something else. I even tried to look for cutlery to swipe so I can start eating but there wasn\'t any put on the tables. It\'s clearly given when the food is delivered. My BF was getting agitated b/c no one likes to eat cold scrambled eggs so I decided to get up and just ask a random waitress for cutlery to which she replied "Oh! You weren\'t given utensils for your meal?" and then came by and dropped some off for us. I saw her mention it to our waitress and shortly after that the waitress who had no emotion poured me a fresh cup of coffee and asked how our meal was. She seemed pleasant then.\n\nOur total came up to $25. Not bad for two breakfasts. The food was good but it wasn\'t remarkable. The coffee was delicious. The restaurant itself was clean and I liked the decor. Typical breakfast place. I like their eggs and bacon, speedy service and pleasant servers. \nMakes Saturday/Sunday mornings pleasant. |

But it's where my sister wanted to go for her birthday, so off we went, and I've got to say that it was my best Chili's experience to date, and a pleasant surprise.\n\nWe got chips and salsa and some panko breaded onion rings as apps, and they were pretty standard. My brother-in-law described the rings as larger versions of what you get at Burger King, and he's pretty much spot on with that assessment. The ranch they served with them wasn't very flavorful and it was kinda thin/watery. Pass on those. The chips were fried fresh, and apparently bottomless. The salsa wasn't great, but the chips were crispy and light, so I ate waaayyyy too many of them. Chips are addictive.\n\nCarnitas, though. That's what made this trip worthwhile for me. They weren't as good as any decent Mexican spot's, but they were miles and miles better than they had any right to be coming out of the kitchen at a Chili's. Tender, juicy, and a little fatty in the best possible way. You can get them as fajitas, or in tacos, and I went with the latter. Three huge tacos come with an order, along with sides of black beans and cilantro lime rice. I'm sure you could probably make substitutions there if you liked, but I kept it as is, as I was kinda feeling the Tex-Mex vibe. The black beans were very liquidy, more like a black bean soup. I'm guessing that's how they intended them to be though, because they served them in their own little cup on the plate. The rice didn't really pop on it's own, but when you dumped them in with the beans, they married together into something pretty good.\n\nOur server was great, always on top of keeping our drinks full. A separate gentlemen brought out our food though, and he wasn't nearly as pleasant. He was clearly very hot, sweating profusely, and I think it was affecting his mood. No smile, and everything he said was very curt. I mean, I know everybody can't be bubbly all the time, but you're (supposed to be) a professional, right? If you need to take a break and grab a sip of water, do it, don't be all disgruntled. It reflects poorly on your establishment.\n\nEverything but the carnitas were 'ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh', but they were good enough to be a saving grace. I don't know if I'd go back again just to get them, but if you ever find yourself at a Chili's, they're definitely worth having. Good food. Have been here numerous times and hardly have a bad experience. If there are any issues with your food they will do whatever they can to fix it. Love Their salads and they have pretty good Mexican food. I'm not a steak person so no comment on that. But they have good food. Service. Was good and prices are the same as most chain restaurants. Go see Cameron! He is our favorite and we are always sure to wait for him if they are busy. He remembers exactly what we eat & drink and he even knows how we like our steaks cooked! I always get fajitas. They are super good. Chips and salsa are our go to appetizer. This location hasn't always been the best as far as service, so I'm super happy we found Cameron because we have literally NEVER had bad service with him as our server. Best time to go is during the weekdays in the evenings, but if you go on a Friday before 6 pm you're good! Fajitas are my favorite! I also like the margarita grilled chicken! Of all the similar chain restaurants (TGI Fridays, Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, etc), Chili's is definitely my favorite. My addition to mashed potatoes dictates many of my menu choices, so I often get the Monterey chicken with mashed potatoes. \n\nUnfortunately, I've had some painfully slow experiences at this Chili's. Sometimes it takes forever to get seated. Then it also takes a ridiculous amount of time for your food to come out. The staff is usually pretty apologetic. One time the manager brought my friend and I a free cake dessert (um, to share) to make up for the long wait. It was a nice gesture, but we would have preferred a discount since we had already taken way too long of a lunch break. |

The service is good and the food is even better, despite the fact that the pizzas are all oddly phallic looking (my inner 13-year-old self just giggled). Appetizers are all good, and the pizza is made fresh to order. I got a pasta dish that was phenomenal (something with a vodka sauce of some sort) and it was delicious! Another person in our party got an all-white pizza that was also really really good (in my opinion the best thing we ordered all night) \n\nVery affordable and a cute little restaurant, especially for a week night dinner or casual date! This is the definition of a hidden gem! Nestled in a strip mall, this cute little place will leave you delighted and stuffed! \n\nThe extensive menu offers heaping portions and endless options. I've had their eggplant entree, greek salad, artichoke dip, pizza, etc. and I have no complaints about a single one of them! Everything is fantastic! \n\nI even took my incredibly picky parents to this place and they've been back 4 or 5 times...now that's truly telling of the place. Great pasta and calzone. The music was too loud but otherwise pleasant. Kids meal is plentiful for $5 for pasta. I've been to Crust twice and though the food was very good both times, our server last Thursday was snippy. Granted, we ended up having 7 people in our lunch party and the restaurant was busy--we should have called ahead perhaps. However, it was one of those last minute things. I ended up coming in about 20 minutes before the other six people in my party. So they did have notice. I sat down at a large table...it's seat yourself...and it took a little time before the server (or anyone) approached me. Neither the server nor the grey-haired man behind the bar (the manager?) was at all welcoming. They rounded up a couple more chairs. I wasn't given a menu or asked if I wanted something to drink. Eventually (10 minutes later), the server asked me if I wanted something to drink while I waited for the rest of the group. I ordered iced tea and asked for a menu. In this economy, they should have been thrilled with a group of 7 no matter how busy they were.\nAt any rate, the food was excellent. So good that I took my sister back there today. Today our server, Jaquin, was just wonderful. He was helpful, prompt, and very pleasant. I had the Bella Rosa rustica pizza last Thursday and today I had the God Daughter. My sister had the eggplant, garlic, and basil pizza. We both had Caesar salad. All of the food was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. It was sooooo yummy that this may be my new favorite place for a casual meal. My sister and I raved about the place later to friends who will be going soon. \nI'm giving Crust 5 stars because it is an excellent place with really good food and it is NOT (thank heavens) a chain! It is locally owned, I believe, and I hope that you will give Crust a try. \nAsk for Jaquin to be your server! This place is SOOOO GOOD!!! My 7 yo son & I grabbed a pizza to go tonight. The staff was super friendly. We watched the guy toss the dough & make the pizza, and the same guy who made it personally came out and handed my son the pizza. AND THIS PIZZA WAS AMAZING. It's our new fav pizza place. My kid never eats the crust of anything.. he eats this crust. He also said he would die for this pizza lol!! |

I can't remember if I've eaten from a food truck period at this point, but this was definitely the first time I've had Touch grub. The pooch and I were taking in some Voinovich Park sunshine and it happened to be a big day downtown. Noon Tribe game, Goodtime III revelers steaming off to some certain doom, weirdoes walking around the court building(that actually happens 24/7). We were going to get a street dog, but waiting till we got to the harbor and seeing three food trucks idling there was a great move. We ordered the Kobe dog. GIGANTIC beef sausage smothered in chili and cheese. The dog was in disbelief that you can just give a random vehicle a card and they'll give you meat! That's right. They take the card. Do all trucks? I wouldn't know. I don't get out much. It was the perfect noon time treat for two weary travelers. And Voinovich Park totally sucks. What's the big deal. My friends and I shared the pierogis. The caramelized onions were super tasty, and the scallion cream added a nice fresh touch. The pierogis themselves were plump and had a great doughy chew. I know that it's not traditional, but the smoked mozzarella filling was super tasty. The rest of their menu looked awesome, too, but we were alas on our way out from dinner. The gourmet food truck craze is reaching a frenzy in other parts of the country, so I'm glad to see it starting to catch on here in Cleveland! \n\nThe Touch Supper Truck is the on-wheels offering from the people at Touch Supper Club. You should expect the menu to vary from night to night, but last night they served a few different gourmet tacos, a couple of burgers, chicken wings, and fries (both regular and sweet potato).\n\nI had the Chorizo Stuffed Banana, Whipped Goat Cheese, and Borboun BBQ Aioli taco, which was really delicious. My friends got the Kimche Chicken with Touch Sauce taco, the Kimche Beef taco, and the Korean Burger, and everyone thought they were fantastic (the praise from my friend who got the Kimche chicken taco was particularly gushing). We also got the Touch Belgian Frittes (french fries) which were some of the tastiest fries I've had in a while - and the Spicy Aioli was incredible! Next time I would get the sweet potato fries, though, because they looked really good.\n\nThey weren't particularly busy when I was there, so I had a chance to chat with the chef after we got our food. He was very friendly and willing to listen to feedback - they're still new at this food truck thing. He mentioned that they don't currently have a way for people to track the location of the food truck, but they will probably start posting to a twitter or facebook profile soon.\n\nThe down side to this truck is its price. The taco I had was $7 and the portion was on the small side given the price. I don't mind paying that much for good street food, but I would have been happier with a somewhat bigger portion. The fries were pretty well sized, however, and two orders fed five of us comfortably. The drinks, at $3/each, were pricey as well. You shouldn't expect to get a full meal here for less than about $12.\n\nOverall though, I would happily revisit this truck. They have the flexibility to show up at all kinds of interesting venues (we saw them at the 78th Street Studios open studio event), and I ultimately don't mind paying a little extra to have some really delicious food at a venu that otherwise wouldn't have as good (or any!) other options. I really need for there to be an app where you can find all of these yummy food trucks instead of just lucking up upon them! \nWe sampled& shared the KimChi fries, the frites, fried mac&cheese, pork belly, and shrimp tacos.\n\nKimChi fries- EXCELLENT, they were so delicious! I'm hoping that they serve this in the actual supper club because I lovvvvveeee them!!! Super tangy and flavourful! Worth tracking the truck down for those alone.\nThe Frites- I loved the peppery spice on them. They are quite peppery, but that's what I loved about them. If you love black pepper, you'll love these.\nFried Mac&cheese- weird concept but somehow totally works. Needs a little something I can't put my finger on as far as flavor, but still could eat it again for sure.\nPorkbelly- I prefer a little crunch with my porkbelly, but flavor's out of this world. Yes!\nShrimp- this was my least favourite. There was allspice or something I didn't care for so I probably won't order it again, but still not terrible. Others could easily disagree and like the spice I did not. \nThe truck staff was friendly and engaging as well. I\'m not a big "chase the food truck" person but have eaten at this one a couple times at events - had a breakfast wrap sandwich thing once and lately have been into their tacos. They have some way cool sauces, the pork belly taco was most excellent and the mac n\' cheese one while a bit bland was an interesting combo. Plus, you can\'t beat their prices,especially for any two tacos or any three tacos. \n\nThe only downside is "quick, cheap, good, pick only 2" - here you definitely get "cheap" and "good" at the expense of "quick" because the truck is so popular it gets backed up with orders, and sometimes they seem to run out of meat or something and the guy has to cook up a whole new batch before he can proceed with order-filling. So if there\'s a crowd, be prepared for a little wait. |

Good food is a additional benefit.\nthanks for raising my standards. I come to Big Grove probably once month or so. In general service is usually good enough. The food is tasty and drinks are great. The bartenders are usually awesome. Every restaurant has hiccups. However, today the service was atrocious and borderline disrespectful. I came to Big Grove for brunch to catch up with a friend. Upon walking in, I wasn\'t greeted by the receptionist and had to awkwardly initiate conversation and ask for a table. (You had one job, lady). The receptionist picks up menus and then zooms off without even saying "right this way" or "follow me" or anything. Our server was just rude, short and condescending. For example, when deciding on which mimosa to order, my friend inquired about how bitter the grapefruit mimosa might be, the server replied condescendingly "Well it\'s grapefruit and champagne." Nothing more. All attitude. We were honestly confused by her extremely negative tone, but we tried to enjoy our experience. She continued to be unwelcoming and rude as my friend and I decided what we going to order, insisting in a negative tone "you have to order a meal with the bottomless mimosa"....treating us as if we weren\'t going to order anything. So, we asked if there was a different server that might be able to help us. She told us her manager would be right over. We sat for over 15 minutes before anyone came over, watching the "manager" and our former server continuously walk past & ignore us. Eventually the manager asks if we want more water?! We say yes and indicate that we asked for another server quite a while ago. The manager then confirms that she will be helping us now. Nothing more. We ask for a couple minutes because my friend received a short phone call and she walks away for another 15 minutes, continuously walking past us, but never checking on us. We had to flag her down to put in our order. The manager never even inquired about the previous server\'s behavior or why we were dissatisfied with the service. We honestly just wanted to eat and catch up so we hated that we had to deal with that. No one ever apologized for the issues or even asked about them, which is concerning. How can you operate if you don\'t even care about your customers? The complete disregard for our time, money and experience was so evident. A solid two stars, yes!\n\nFirst of all, I\'ll say the taste of the food is pretty good. The quality of the food and drink was above average. The popcorn presented when we arrived was nicely flavored with spices, but came in a rather small tin. We began with two cocktails which were delicious, but for the area, were either too small, or overpriced. Thus began the battle of the perceptions in regards to overpriced versus tiny portions.\n\nWe did not have appetizers because in my mind, they were a little pricey. Deviled eggs for $1.00 each? Ok, I get it, these are local eggs. But half of an egg with a little mayo and some flavoring mixed into the yolk for $1.00? Nope, still expensive. Fries for $4.00? Nope, not for this guy. Besides, Illinois isn\'t know for their potato harvests. $9.00 for a mixed greens salad? How about make that salad plural and give us a couple of them for that price?\n\nMoving on, I wanted to try the famous "Tavern Burger." However, at 7:45 p.m., in a restaurant which wasn\'t packed out, they were out for the evening. Really? Hmmm, how strange. You mean the cheapest choice for dinner, the one item which was mentioned in the newspaper and was considered your house specialty, and, worth mentioning again, your CHEAPEST dinner choice, was out so early? How very strange... I guess that meant I would have to choose a more expensive option. (And, incidentally, our server told us you made it fresh every day. So, why didn\'t you just whip up a little more of the mix? Or, does the bison truck come very morning?)\n\nWe chose the Trout and the Pork Loin. First, the portion sizes were tiny. For the price of the trout, we expected at least half of a small trout for $18.00. What we got was about 1/3 to 1/2 of a side of a small trout. As for the pork, we received what amounted to about a 3 oz. portion. Now, I understand it\'s local. But, and I\'m saying this as a consumer and a cook, pork is not expensive. There is no grocery store in Champaign where you can go and find any cut of pork out pricing Beef. And, the accompaniments, the turnips, chicory and cornbread were nice, tasty and well presented, were cool and not substantial. The pork, for the price, should have been at least twice the size, and even this would have made the price extravagant.\n\nWe shared a bottle of white wine from the menu, the wine selection being very good by the way, and also had dessert. I had the Ice Cream Sandwich (which should have been slightly warmed so as to not have been served rock hard), and my guest had the Pot de Cr\xc3\xa8me. Both were delicious!\n\nOverall, I believe our bill totaled more than $140.00. Can you believe it? $140.00 for two cocktails, one bottle of white wine which retailed for about $13.00, two main dishes and two desserts. Fine for Haute Cuisine, not fine for a tavern.\n \nWe found the service to be just about perfect, as our server was attentive and respectful of both our needs and our privacy.\n\nThe atmosphere is great in this place. The food is good, but not great. With the expanding options in the area, especially the great options across the street, there is little to nothing to draw me back to this establishment. I was excited to try this place but I'll be honest I was less than impressed and feel as though I got my hopes up. For starters we got the pretzel braid and brussels sprouts. The pretzel braid was odd, it was more bread tasting than pretzel and the mustard had a touch too much horse radish. The brussels sprouts on the other hand were outta this world good! They were glazed with balsamic vinaigrette I believe and had some sort of aioli on top. For my dish I got the Champaign Cheesesteak and that is where I was really let down. The sandwich was kind of bland, not a lot of flavor. I do like that they source their ingredients locally though. I would be interested in giving them another shot but for now I can't say I'm a huge fan. Good food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Love the rotating menu- always something new to try. Check the hours before going, they are not open everyday. |

Do you want to experiance great customer service attention to detail? This is the place!!!! Hands down on a scale of 1-10 everytime I go it's an 11!!!!\nI've had a chance to sample most of the menu and can't find one fault. This is a hands on owner run restaurant and it's safe to say it will be around for a long time. FUCK this place pissed me off! I want to say this about that first. I have been going to Jade Palace for years. Usually the location on Shea and 101. It is always great. The location on N. Scottsdale Rd is always great too. I am angry because there has been a change.....a CHANGE for the worst. \n I hope this gets the OWNERS attention because you are much better than the garbage I got served Sunday Night. The Wor Wonton Soup was terrible. The wontons had a spec of pork inside and was mostly wrap. There were very little vegetables but the killer here was the broth, ah the broth by which ALL wonton soup is judged. It tasted like water with a mild wine flavor. White wine my exaggerated and noble palete detected. It was bad. The Twice cooked pork again had very little vegetables and the pork was white were the fat is. This is not a good sign. It means the pork was not hot enough for the fat to render again back into the dish making it a spectacular dish. The Grand Mariner Shrimp was good in flavor as usual however the shrimp were way too overcooked and relatively dry. The Egg Foo Yung was returned because it was terrible. The Salt and Pepper prawns were tasty, very good actually! You know something, the more I write the better the rating gets. We did have one exceptional dish! The Striped Sea Bass in Black Bean sauce was one of the best dishes I ever had from NYC to AZ. Bravo on that, it is KILLER!! They even serve it with fried Sea Bass Skin. The Beef Chow Fun was excellent as always. The orange chicken for the kids was DEE-SCUS-TING. The panda ear has more flavor and more identifiable meat. \n This place is usually jammed wall to wall with New Yorkers who know they're Chinese. Tonight though, weird vibe. I felt like I was in Utah surrounded by Blue Hairs and Silver Foxes. It was almost Twilight Zonish. I will be back because for years I have enjoyed this place and I will update the next time too. Moved up 1 satr to 4 based on experience. Had this been my first time I would have given 1 Star . I tried Jade Palace at Scottsdale Road after we didn\'t like the one of Shea Blvd. My husband really disliked that one and I convinced him to give this location a try. It was rated higher on Yelp than the Shea location. \n I had the shrimp with lobster sauce and chicken fried rice. The rice was very tasty with an ample amount of chicken. The lobster sauce had pork in it which is NY style. Really delicious. 10 large shrimp cooked perfectly. \nHubby\'s Orange chicken was not over crusted (that\'s the usual problem with this dish) but there were no "orange" flavors. The only thing that connected this dish to "orange" was the garnish of one half slice of orange on the plate. There was a dark brown sauce that tasted nothing like orange. It was spiced up enough just as he requested, however, he would not order this dish again. \nThe servers were attentive and the management came by to ask how everything was. Now, I may be getting cheap in my old age, but I think $46.00 for two entrees and one small dish of fried rice is a bit much. I like the location and the ambience of the place but I feel the prices are a bit high. Perhaps I will try them for lunch if they have lunch specials. My dish was really good but I don\'t think hubby will be coming back any time soon. That\'s 2 for 2. This place is really bad. Not sure how you can have such bad service when its so empty but they pulled it off.\n\nThe food made me sick. I am sure there are no stray dogs or cats in the area because the pork I had tasted like something totally different\n\nWill not be back here. What a waste of a meal I just had food from Jade Palace and it was very, very good. I had takeout and it was fresh and delicious and still hot when I got home. I will definitely be returning. Also, the staff was very courteous and friendly. |

We were here on opening night and have been back probably 4-5 times. So good! We are big fans of the food here and I have decided it's time to break away from my normal two rolled taco meals and try new things. I have!\n\nService is always great and their chips and salsa is delish! We waited 50 min for our entr\xc3\xa9e and we have to ask a refill for our water and appetizer are completely forgotten until we ask about it. They take that our from our bill anyway, we left disappointed even we want to try there fried ice cream were afraid we might wait another hour Went in for lunch today with some people from work. I always get excited for COB. We were seated quickly and met Heidi our waitress. She was absolutely fantastic! She took our orders and came back in a very short time with our drinks. It was busy, but she was attentive to all her tables, making sure everyone was cared for. Just a few minutes went by and there was our food order. I usually get the #13, but today I had the machacca beef chimichanga. Unbelievable taste and a gorgeous presentation. I am never disappointed, the other two people I went with couldn't have been happier. Can't wait to go back. Love Love the service, atmosphere and food. I am so glad they re-opened at this new location. They make the best shredded beef quesadilla, enchilada style with red sauce, ever!! I have ordered it every time I go and now all my friends order it too. The Jean special! They should have it on the menu . Inexpensive and great food! Make sure you say hi to Christian and his brother in the bar! So disappointed! They closed one that did such a good job, and opened this piece of crap. Let us start with the interior, you walk into a greet station complete with seating to wait. WAIT, no this is not where you go to get sat, you open another set of doors and are now in the bar, wait WHAT? Here you find the greeting station, and now we wait looking like deer in headlights wondering who is going to seat us. Ahh finally someone seats us right at a waitress we absolutely do not like. Should I say, hmmm sure why not, HEIDI, if you get her run away. They must have been in a hurry to get the place open because everything about the decor screams last business in the building including the horrendous panel dividers separating the dining from the bar. We are sat in one of the booths that is open at both ends. The booths that are against the wall are raised to where if someone is sitting in them you are looking right at they're crotch. So we place our drink order and a cheese crisp, and I notice the bus boy/chips and salsa getter is too busy placing settings at empty tables then to bring chips and salsa to us, (by the way there is only 4 tables sat so they so needed the settings done). We get the chips and salsa and are told the cheese crisp will be out soon, (menus sitting on edge of table so obviously we are ready to order), and Heidi walks away. Here comes the cheese crisp, and there goes Heidi again. Ok now she comes back to see if we are ready to order omg. We order and she does her best at saving us money by saying shes going to give us items off of the lunch menu instead of regular menu we looked at. Now for the food her sour cream enchilada/ chicken, she picked most of the chicken out of it saying it tasted cooked, frozen and thawed, OR it was from a can. Mine was shredded beef tacos, shredded beef had no flavor and tasted pretty dang awful. Lets not forget about the rice, where do I start. It tasted old, was very sticky and in wet clump piles. It is time to pay and get the $%#@ out, wheres Heidi, shes staring out the front window.\nThe bill is here yay!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO...... 2 Dr. Peppers, 2 dinners, 1 cheese crisp $52 WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took 5 minutes to get her attention even though she is helping the table right in front of us repeatedly. Guess what she put that tables order on our bill too...... Maybe we wouldn't notice and pay it????? 8 minutes later we get a corrected bill, $30 for half eaten food. While all this waiting is going on we are paying attention to the wait station. It consists of I believe a 5 shelve wire rack. At the top is to go boxes and cheese crisp boxes. The next shelf down has odds and ends and 2 pitchers on plates, one is water and other is tea. The next shelf down has the utensils in it, yep underneath the wire shelf with the pitchers on it. The next shelf is where they are putting all the dirty dishes. We can't see the bottom shelf. And the best part is the garbage can is right next to the shelves with nothing preventing the food from flying up as it is thrown into it. This was chance number 3 at the new location. THERE WILL NOT BE A 4!!!!\n\nWE ARE DONE WITH YOU CARLOS O'METHINKS NOT!! |

They are always fairly quick, and have never messed up an order...and we do a lot of "special" things, like "no special sauce" on one taco, and sour cream on another...\n\nI love the value menus...this is a great location. Lol super rude and horrible customer service. Pretty much threw the bags of food in our face and said have a good day. Okay, we didn't even pay you yet so thanks for the asshole attitude and free food Pissed because of my order this morning. Barely a spoonful of filling (chicken and cheese) spread super thin over the tortilla in my queso chicken rollers. So thin they couldn't even ROLL the chicken ROLLers. Looked more like a small tortilla bundle than a burrito.\n\nAnd finally it wasn't to temp. The cheese wasn't even melted which is surprising considering how little of it there was. That's a dangerous meal that I could have a real problem with if I was so inclined. Anyway I ended up not eating more than a bite due to the temp concerns.\n\nA total fail on this one guys. You need to make sure your morning staff care about their jobs, or they may not have a job much longer.\n\np.s. You WILL be fixing my order when I get back to that side of town. I'll even keep my receipt. First off had a horrible experience at this location. Ordered steak tacos through drive thru and when I got home I unwrapped the foils and saw that all the tacos were chicken tacos and not steak like I ordered. Called this location and "manager" by the name Albo (I think he gave me a fake name) told me that I was lying and that he made the tacos himself and was sure he made steak tacos. I was shocked at his response. He then told me to come in tomorrow with the tacos if it was true and that he\'d take care of it then. I was so upset that I decided to drive back anyways with all the tacos. Not only did he refuse to let me in but said I had to go through drive through. It wasn\'t even supposed to be locked inside. I went through drive through and gave the cashier the bag n told them it was all chicken. The cashiers name was Jonathan. Jonathan then told me that the manager said he made steak and didn\'t wanna take the bag. I told him check for yourself it\'s all chicken and gave him my receipt and everything. He then took the bag and told me he\'d make the steak tacos. I got out of my car while my boyfriend stayed inside at the drive through to make sure they didn\'t put anything on my order. Manager was not wearing gloves and when he saw me recording he quickly put gloves on and had the worker stand next to him so I wouldn\'t record. Not only did that break sanitation rules but manager grabbed his phone with hands and continued making my tacos. I asked the worker for manager name and he kept lying saying there was no manager and that the worker was threatening to call the cops on me. He did not want to give any names and just kept saying he was new and didn\'t know anyone\'s names. I called corporate already n I really hope they contact me back and handle this situation properly because this was not right. This is the second time this location has horribly disappointed. Today around 12:20 am I pulled in to the drive thru and after waiting was told it's going to be a while they have a very large order and I'll have to wait long. They made sure to let me know I would have to wait since they didn't want my business I assume. I asked them so you telling me this means you don't want me to order and hey did not respond. I like Del Taco as. Whole but this location makes me go across the street to tAco bell. |

I had a lunch special stir fried here. The food tasted okay, the pricing was okay, the services were okay. The only thing that stood out to me was that the square food plate was quite large, making the portion seemed small. Once I started eating, the portion was okay.\n\nChoe offers free Wifi. It accepts credit cards.\n\nThis store is conveniently located for me. I probably will return for lunches and dinners. Bad service, we want to order beef brisket flat rice noodle, but would like to change to rice noodle only, the waitress said need to add $0.5, so we said go back to flat rice noodle, then she said no more flat rice noodle, what the hell at the first place you not let as know actually sold out. Her attitude was so bad and seems like to ignore us. Definitely NOT go back anymore!!\n\nFood are not tasty as well, portion are super small, I can say their cutting skills are very good. The luncheon meat thin like a paper!! food was bad\ntaste made me sick\ntasted like airplane food\nhad the pork neck portuguese style spaghetti\ncouldnt finish half of it cuz i felt nauseous \nrestaurant is weird\nsoccer themed with chinese tv shows playing Returned back to Chloe with family for dinner. We ordered more dishes to share. I love the house special baked pork chop in tomato sauce with rice. Cheese is so creamy and the sauce tastes good. My mom ordered the Portuguese baked pork chop with spaghetti. This is the first time we have tried the Portuguese sauce in Toronto. Really nice and tasty. Dad ordered the one I had last time, baked chicken fillet in spinach cream sauce with rice. No regrets at all!\nIt now offers traditional HK style breakfast. Will come back on weekends to try. Typical informal, prompt service. This is supposed to be a HK style cafe yet they have a TV turned to the sports channel and sports-themed apparel decorating the entire place. The ventilation is terrible and makes your clothes stink after.\n\nFood was nothing great. I ordered the bolognese spaghetti which came with a mediocre cream soup. Props to them for putting enough cheese in the sauce. Overall, I would say it was on par with every other bolognese spaghetti I\'ve had. The pho was a generous portion and came steaming hot. Not bad for a place that doesn\'t specialize in Viet food. \n\nI\'ve had mixed opinions about the food from people I know. Just stick with "safe" foods and you should be fine. |

They handle the lunch rush like champs! I've been through the drive thru and inside during the week and either way, they always have my order down. I'd come to expect forgotten items, wrong orders, etc. from fast food drive thrus while they're busy, but not this one! Always delivers. As for the food? Cmon. You're here for a cheap taco burrito hybrid item. It's sufficient. Went here like a month ago, last time I ever will. So after standing at the counter for 5-10 minutes being completely unacknowledged by the staff to the point I'm wondering if I've died and become a ghost, some guy takes my order and then gives me my card and turns right around and takes off before I've even put it back in my wallet without giving me my cup. \n\nThe food comes out quickly and then as I'm double checking to see if they got the order right that person leaves without giving me my cup too, so I stand there a couple more minutes before I'm acknowledged, and finally get my cup and find they don't even have any lids for them.\n\nIt's not that they were even busy or anything, there were at least 3 staffers there and none of the 2 other people inside the restaurant at the time needed anything, so the only people they had to service other than myself were 2 cars at the drive through.\n\nSome of the worst service I've ever seen. If you have to go to a Taco Bell, this one's not a good one to go to, unfortunately. Taco Bell, Taco Hell... Call it what you want but being able to get cheap, vegan-friendly eats at a drive-thru is a simple yet rare pleasure. Taco Bell is extremely veg-friendly and this location always delivers solid and fresh (ish) food. Just be sure to double-check your order; they do tend to mess up from time to time. Eh, it\'s Taco Bell, so expect fast food, chain restaurant Mexican that tastes like the price you paid for it. The staff here are friendly and are good at marking your items so that you don\'t get the "extra sour cream" burrito mixed up with your regular one. I've never been a big Taco Bell person but I have been to this one a few times because of how close it is to my work. The last 2 times I have been here has been a 5 star experience though so I feel like they deserve some kudos. The girl at the front (I think her name is Kim) is so nice and knows the menu up and down. (I ate alone so people watching was my entertainment) She greets people and gets their orders quickly, never had much of a line, never had to ask for help. When she wasn't at the front she was cleaning up the eating area and I have to say, it was very clean. \nOn a food note, my order was correct and came out promptly. Only complaint: $1.79 for a small drink |

They have to be kidding me with the prices. We order a $15 appetizer and it wasn't even enough for four people to have more than 2 bites... the prices are ridiculous and the food is not worth it. I LOVE THIS PLACE. The food is the bomb. OHSO sauce is everything I never knew I needed and the ambience is great. I'm always coming back to this place because I can't get enough! I have mixed feelings about OHSO in Gilbert. The location and environment is a fun place to spend some time with friends. I truly enjoy the beer. The AZ burger is Amazing however most of the other items on the menu are mediocre. I am also not impressed with the service I received. I expect my needs to be addressed before my beer glass has been empty for more than 5 minutes. It was extremely hard to get my beer order in and when it was submitted, the amount of time I waited for the beer itself was way too long. The establishment was not even 1/3 full. There should have been no barriers to receiving excellent service during my last visit. Unfortunately the service I did receive left me with little desire except to return to the bar to order drinks only. Loving the Downtown Gilbert restaurant scene! Fun vibe, good service, dog friendly! Great menu options for a brewing company. Healthy options available. I'm not a beer person but they have a fun bar w great drink options and a unique wine list. Love that they're open for late night dining. Really did not love this place at all. It was VERY loud. Crowded. Overpriced. Bartender was rude. I don't even really like the ambiance. We sat in the novelist and had drinks and nachos. We just had beer and wine and that was fine, but the food was gross. The chips were stale and the cheese was really runny/soupy. Big bummer. |

Excellent food and excellent service! The babaganoush wad delicious. I also had the kofta wrap and it was very good. Attentive staff and delicious food made my first experience here a good one.\n\nI had the chicken shawarma over rice and it was well prepared and promptly brought to my table. The complimentary appetizer (small warm crackers and a tomato sauce) was nice. A frozen citrus cocktail to sip on was sweet and delicious.\n\nI'll definitely be back to this place. The worse Mediterranean food Ive had in my life. Bad service and the restaurants freezing cold! Food was dried out and worthless. A most excellent dining experience and hookah too! A group of coworkers & I met here on a recommendation of 1 of us. So delicious! Lamb mandi: fabulous. Chicken kabobs: wonderful. It's a new spot in University City. Outdoor seating for hookah.

The slice I got was huge! The pizza was thin and a nice change from the regular pizza I would get from Pizza Pizza. Bonus: This location has a pool table and an open atmosphere with lots of fresh air. Not to shabby Mamma. Your typical fast food joint. Nice pizza though. Place could be cleaner though. You don't want to visit the restrooms. I had come from the US with US dollars and I paid for my order. They didn't tell me up front that they would not give me the conversion amount of American money in Canadian money and then they proceeded to charge me the same amount of American dollars as Canadian dollars which I believe to be unethical since he charged me about a quarter of the amount more than the price on the menu in Canadian dollars. The only person who apologized was a kind worker there. The cashier was kind of rude to me which I get since it was near the end of his shift and he was probably not having a good day but still I am a paying customer and deserve a little respect. Bathrooms were not clean as well. Overall I wish I ate somewhere else. The only reason I am giving it two stars is because of the worker in the back who apologized but other than that I didn't like my visit. I really appreciate how the delivery was a few minutes early. The temperature of the pizza was warm enough and not too hot to consume. The crust was ultra thin which i enjoyed. The spicy vegan was not as spicy as I thought it will be. I order vegan sausage, spicy vegan, and vegan prim. I enjoyed them. These pizzas were crafted with a generous amount of vegan cheese which i devoured. Great price! And you get 1 free slice after buying 10. It is a go-to place for a cheap meal.... How long is long enough to become a review? I normal eat their Canadian, which is 4 dollar. Come on... It's long enough finally |

Why? Well let me explain. \nCB has a business model that puts stores very far apart. Totally different than fast food. You get a good home cooked meal at a decent price. The one in Gastonia has always been fantastic. Worth the waits that are inevitable daily. \nBut in the past year things have slowly gone downhill. Smaller portions first. It\'s a business thing. I get that. No more biscuits with honey while you wait. That was a cost thing. I get that. But then the food would not be cooked correctly; burned cornbread and biscuits. Or really hard and inedible breads. Asking for soft scrambled eggs usually means well done now. And pancakes that you must use a steak knife to cut. Things that there just is no excuse for. It has come to the point where we would eat there, leave Mad and not having enjoyed our meal like we use to, and then not return for a month or two. \nWell last night it was the proverbial straw breaking the camel\'s back. 3 out of 3 plates were wrong! Only one cornbread roll (my wife specifically asked for cornbread) and it was well, well done and could be a hockey puck. \nSo, we decided to leave. But my wife has ALWAYS loved CB. So she stopped to talk to the manager. And this is why they get 3 stars and not just one. He listened! Something rare in retail sales of any kind today. He just listened. And then he did something ALL restaurants should do. He said, "I\'m sorry. We got it wrong. We let you down. Let us make it right. On me." And after some deliberation we stayed. And they did get it right. The meal was great. And while we were not looking for a free meal, if you charge me $40+ for a meal for 3 people I expect to get a good meal. Not crap. I can go the McDonald\'s and get that for $20. But this Cracker Barrel needs improvement. It\'s NOT to the standard of the CB reputation. I hope things improve. I really do. Driving to Charlotte for CB pancakes and other food is a real pain. But last night he did save a loyal family. I just hope next time it\'s not bad again. The last 3 trips have been bad. Keeping my fingers crossed. Our meal was terrible the pancakes were ok but the meat was greasy and not done.The sausage was standing in grease. Wish we had some of these places in California!\n\nVisiting some family and ate at this Cracker Barrel on the way to Greenville from Charlotte. Being from California, I wanted to try Cracker Barrel because I heard the food was great for what you got.\n\nPortions were a good size and very hearty. Ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken with white gravy and mashed potatoes. Had a side of macaroni and cheese, and cole slaw. Wife had catfish with lima beans and carrots for the side. \n\nIt was great! Good value for the money.\n\nGreat concept with a general store in the entrance that you had to pass through to get to the restaurant. Nice rocking chairs out front for people to buy or just sit down on. \n\nI would have given this place 5 stars but we had to ask for our utensils and napkins WHILE the food was being served. Those things should already be on the table or be placed once customers are seated. I liked the pancakes. Do they use the world's smallest chickens to lay the world's smallest chicken eggs? My portion of scrambled eggs seemed awfully tiny. I cleaned my glasses and put them back on but my portion was still small. \n\nAs to the kitsch and tchotchkes they sell: does anyone really need to waste money on that stuff? Oh Cracker Barrel, sweet consistent Cracker Barrel. Always unexplainably crowded and they're all the same right? Stopped in for lunch on our way out of town and since it was Friday they do their Friday fish fry special and Sweetie had a hankering for some cod, I guess.\n\nI have been on a gluten free kick lately so I had their baked chicken breast which was baked with a cornflake breading which was pretty tasty. I don't expect baked white meat chicken to be juicy but Cracker Barrel nailed it. Mashed potatoes and gravy as a side, we've all had and they were good. Sweetie's fish was ok, nothing spectacular and the potato was stone cold, called the waitress over and she brought another one which wasn't cooked and it wasn't rolled in the salt like they normally do, her cole slaw tasted old and spoiled. Now, part of it is the issue but a lot of it is how you respond to the issue and they were very generous and comped her entire meal so I can't complain too much.\n\nAnyhoo, the experience was lacking this visit.....but hey, it's Cracker Barrel and I'll surely be back.....probably not at this location. |

There were few people in the restaurant and several servers looked over at us but no one came by. So disappointing especially since we live in the strip district and could have been regular customers. Not only did they lose us as customers but as we walked out a family of four asked how the food was and we told them what happened so they lost their business too. Casa Reyna might just be my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Pittsburgh. This is probably as close to authentic Mexican cuisine as you will find in the city. The tacos and salsas were fresh and full of flavors. The fact they make their tacos onsite likely helps. The margarita was one of the best that I've ever had as well. My only reason for not giving Casa Reyna five stars is the price. It seems expensive compared to other Mexican restaurants. That being said, I'll be back often just not as frequently as I'd like. Just what I have been looking for in true Mexican food.\n\nI spent the last 10 years in Tampa, FL and worked at an Authentic Mexican restaurant for 7 of those years. Needless to say I am picky about my Mexican food and this place knocked it out of the park. \n\nTheir skinny margarita was spot on and a generous size but, really the food was the star. We had the mini tacos and salsa to start, the chorizo was awesome. For our main course we had the Cuatro Moles Traditionales,the verdes mole was my personal favorite and my boyfriend enjoyed the gaujillo, but all of it was fantastic. The service was prompt, pleasant and she timed our 3 course meal perfectly. We plan on visiting again and eventually trying everything on the menu. We decided to try this place on a whim, and as we walked down the stairs past a never-ending mural of Mexican life (which kind of starts you off with a mysterious, hideaway vibe, right?), the boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to walk in to a cozy, wood-paneled cantina.\n\nI was tempted to try the margaritas (They have, possibly, 90 % of Tequila varieties in existence?!) but since it was a bit early, went with the Horchata. This is what angels must sip in heaven.\nI ordered the Shrimp Ceviche, and the boy went for the Nachos with Lamb Barbacoa and Carnitas. (The legitimate names of these dishes are slipping my mind, but you get the gist.)\nWe waited quite a while... apparently there was a computer error putting the order in. I swear to you, it was WORTH the wait. \nThis was the best ceviche I've ever had, the lamb barbacoa on the nachos was perfection, and the servings were insanely generous.\nTry this place if you like fresh, authentic Mexican food! I went to Casa Reyna nearly four months ago after a several year hiatus. I am not sure how to write this poor of a review because I've never done so with as much emphasis on poor as this one. \n\nI went with a group of people who all experienced lackluster service and agreed on bland tasting, watered down food. For a restaurant which, in the past, had an amazing reputation for their genuine, traditional Mexican cuisine, most - if not all - of my party left generally uninspired and unwilling to return. Despite what appeared to be the same authentic, expansive menu (which excited me beyond words) we all felt the actual food (and slow, rude service) was a waste of our time and money. I could go into positives vs. negatives like I feel most reviews should have but, to be perfectly candid, the only positive I can think of is the cool set up and decor. Since this could easily turn into a catastrophically negative review on a public forum I will refrain from writing anything more than: 1. I should have tried the true staple Nopalas (I have concluded that finding this on a Pittsburgh menu is extremely rare) and 2. Don't rely on Casa Reyna's previous reputation because, for whatever reason, things have dramatically changed (possibly explaining our terrible experience?) ... do yourself a favor and go someplace else. \n\nLocal comparison: El Paso Mexican Grill\nNot recommended. |

The meat was dry/rubbery, definitely not cooked by a trained chef. The taste was unbearable to the point that it was inedible. The other dish which I can\'t recall its name but it was supposed to have seafood with mushrooms, was also inedible. It literally consisted of rubbery squid rings, heaps of fried onions, and some mushrooms. My husband and I both didn\'t eat our dishes, waitress saw that we didn\'t eat our food but didn\'t say anything. What a waste of money. Avoid this place at all costs! bunch of young idiots calling themselves "chefs" what a joke. The food does not taste as good as it looks in the photos. Go to Big in Japan instead; they have a smaller menu, but the food there is amazing. Excelente comida con bella presentaci\xc3\xb3n Had the best experience here, super creative asian food (not sure how authentic because haven\'t visited japan yet). Izakaya pattern is (explained to us by the waiter) basically small portions of highly flavoured and cured food items so don\'t come here if you\'re someone who likes a bang foe your bucks. Come here with an attitude to appreciate east asian flavours and possibly spend a little more than average to truly enjoy this place.\n\nFirst off, the ambience is absolutely amazing. Came here on a first date and our original choice of restaurant was closed so my date took me to a "surprise spot" and this was the place; was totally impressed by his selection because this is exactly the type of food pallette I love endeavoring myself with. Ambience is chill but not too casual. Noise level is good enough for conversations.\n\nWe started with hay smoked salmon which came in this ceramic bowl layered with hay stacks in the bottom. The waiter lighted it up and covered the salmons on a grill on top of it. We were to remove the lid after 2mins but we might have left it overtime so oit salmon was pretttyy smoked, kind of tasted like ash and cigarette. It wasn\'t my thing.\n\nBut then our drinks came and oh god my strawberry liquor think was an absolute goddess nectar. If you\'re into sweet and smooth alocholic drinks, then this is your drink. It had a japanese spirit and this milk like Japanese drink in it. I\'m sorry that I forgot the name.\n\nWe also had chef\'s grill selection which is basically strips of marinated beef, chicken, octopus, shrimp and veggies with a side of chillinand hoysin sauce. You have to fry the raw meat on a crystal grill. Loved the chilli sauce with the chicken and beef and pairing the hoysin sauce with the mushrooms. This was an interactive way to participate with your "ready made" food and I had a marvellous time grilling and enjoying the warm and fresh meat and fish.\n\nBut the best part of my experience was the kimchi fried rice. Omg what is this thing. Soooo gooood. We took it because all the other reviews mentioned it and so glad that we did so. Just go for it. Trust me. You won\'t regret. Not sure why this place doesn't have more reviews or 5 stars? Had the sashimi don and it was perfect...the hay smoking technique is brilliant! Perfect drink pairing? Asahi Extra Dry! Eat here...post a review |

None of that kao san road greasy street pad thai, just a huge bowl of real pad thai wrapped in an egg crepe. No ketchup in the authentic pad thai.\n\nOtherwise, get the regular pad thai, which is bigger than Salad King / Kao San Road's portions. I don't get what the hype is about with those places. I would pick Pi Tom's over them!\n\nAnyways, to reiterate;\n\nDo you wanna starve to death? If not, get the authentic pad thai or just the pad thai! Pork Fried Rice $12 - A+\n\nI think the name Pi-Tom is inviting and it translates to mean "older brother Tom." If you\'re staying at the downtown Hilton Garden Inn, this restaurant is located conveniently right across the street. I came here for dinner on a Monday night and the place was pretty quiet. The restaurant is nicely decorated (casual atmosphere) and there are both tables and booths to choose from. They serve beer and wine, and I went with wine for dinner. It was a generous glass of Cabernet for $7. They also offer house wine around $5. The service was great - attentive but not overbearing. \n\nThere were many things to choose from on the menu, including different kinds of fried rice and noodle dishes to a variety of specialty fish dishes. They even offer duck, which I was tempted to try, so perhaps next time. The pork fried rice was full of goodies - pork, Chinese broccoli, onion, red bell peppers, egg and carrots. It was pretty tasty and even came with a small side salad. The portion is pretty big and I couldn\'t finish my meal in one sitting.\n\nI\'ve also carried out one of their lunch specials. For about $10, I got an order of chicken pad Thai that came with a mango salad and a spiced pumpkin soup. Both the salad and the soup were especially tasty. The noodles in the pad Thai was cooked perfectly.\n\nOther dishes I\'ve tried:\nChicken Pad Thai lunch special - comes with a side of mango salad and spring roll. Pretty good deal and good noodles.\n\nThai Fried Rice with Chicken - Comes with Chinese broccoli, eggs and tomatoes. Good Thai flavoring, but I would have added more soy sauce if I had some on deck. I have had great interest to try Pi-Tom for a while, since I seen many vouchers bought back then at Dealfind. I heard their authentic pad thai was popular so I decided to give that a try on an empty sunday night 9 pm. Its surrounded by egg crepe which is unique in a way, and the taste is good, but not the best pad thai. Its definitely better than some other so-called authentic thai out there. The pad thai didn't have the ketchup flavour that Canadians are use to, instead, they use tamarind. \n\nI also got the thai ice tea with milk which was sweet tasting and refreshing. Also got an appetizer good for sharing which were the shrimp chips with peanut sauce for $5. \n\nMy brother got the curry shrimp which is nice flavour and my gf got the glass noodle stir fry which was decent flavour, but dark colour like soy sauce.\n\nOverall the food is not bad and I won't mind coming back to try other stuff. But I'm certain there are better 'Authentic' Thai food out there for sure. Newest Pi-Tom location at jarvis/dundas. Nice atmosphere, nice patio. Bored of the usual delivery fare, I tried Pi-Tom's Thai for the first time.\n\nWhat we ate:\n- Spring rolls (2.5/5): Delicious but omg greasy. No good.\n- Tofu Green Thai Curry (3/5): While the flavors were pretty good, the curry was TOO spicy and was the wrong consistently ( too liquid y)\n- Beef Panang Curry (2.5/5) The curry was delicious, but the beef was completely over cooked and rubbery.\n- Duck and basil (2.5/5): The duck was moist and flavorful but the dish was drenched in oil- no likey.\n\nThe bill: 50$\n\nWhile my craving for sweet savoury curry was met, I am not a fan of the greasy-ness.\n\nMaybe I should stop getting Thai for delivery? |

The area is already full of Korean owned sushi restaurants and Tokyo grill is a nice change of pace. I made a reservation by phone, and I immediately knew the waitress who took the reservation was Japanese. Arigato gozaimasu. She asked me for a choice of bar, table, or counter. We tried a booth this time. This is the second time we came to this restaurant, as it's still new. We were at the counter last time and the stone fireplace on the counter looks very cool! We tried one of the sets last time that takes off $10-15 off of the regular price last time, but this time we ordered a-la-carte. After ordering the go-to items that can't go wrong, edamame and sukiyaki, we went for some more adventurous choices. The sukiyaki was great in its own right. We had a beef tataki. They use better beef than most and so was able to slice it thicker and still wasn't tuff. A heat-on-the-table stone plate beef tongue gave a more exotic taste, in addition to having a fun item on the table. With salty green onion or lemon to help flavour the beef tongue gives a choice of taste for everybody. We also tried one of the fried chicken items with a salad dressing and it gave a good fresh taste and it wasn't too oily. It is definitely a place I will come back to for a sit-down, enjoy-the-atmosphere restaurant. A nice change to many of the fastfood type Japanese food around the area I thought the one review was an outlier so decided to come give it a try.\nThe interior was beautiful and the servers were polite but the food has a really long way to go.\n\nFirstly the menu needs a lot of work. My vision is pretty good but there is no way I can see what each of the pictures had. I ordered a cold udon that appeared creamy orange in the picture but something different came out. The cold udon was neither cold or warm..... Kinda like room temperature and stale. Ingredients and flavour was plain but the side of wasabi was an interesting touch but my partner wasn't a fan of wasabi unfortunately. I strongly believe the average individual can make a more exciting dish at home with frozen udon, some beef at Galleria and vegetables. The quantity they served was hilarious when they serve small portions in a massive bowl. \n\nThe sukiyaki tasted bland since the meat was over cooked and it was stuffed with very boring ingredients (think overcooked tofu and bean sprouts). Theres a pretty thick film of oil on the surface after the meal too. This dish was a fail for something in this neighborhood. \n\nFinally the prices. Sure, the setting looked great and rent is too damn high but no way I'll be coming back to pay 16 bucks for an awful bowl of food when there's so many better options nearby. This is our first time to come here and last time. Horrible slow service. They only brought one dish for my mother. Had I not asked after waiting more than 10 minutes to learn they gave my ordered dish to someone else. They serve first the Asians but not to the Caucasian. Never will we come back here again. Crazy Don was excellent but this is horrible. Not even to being us water. Everyone else who is Asian got water. They don't even serve the Korean appetizers while you wait for your food Sukiyaki is my favorite, soup tastes good and makes me warm. Curry is a bit spicy, and beef noodle is served in a huge bowl, meat taste sweet, value set B is cool too. This is a 2nd location for the restaurant, which first opened downtown almost 20 years ago. Had eaten there since its opening by 2 Japanese ladies who used to serve the same food at Village by the Grange in the late 80s. The original location remained open (though chefs changed) until a few months ago for much needed serious renovation which they never had for 20 years.\n\nWhat they serve, is authentic Japanese casual dining (shokudo) food. At this new location, menu is expanded to include izakaya food. The interior is modern and very nice, a monumental improvement over the downtown location which was a dive, with authentic "shokudo" atmosphere, you can say.\n\nService was fine. But it was 6:30 and the place wasn\'t busy. Cold water was served, and food arrived quickly. Waitresses tonight are Japanese.\n\nOrdered kaki fry and katsudon. Both tasted just like what they served at the downtown location, or similar places in Japan. Portion sizes are appropriate for the prices charged. Remember this is Japanese, not Korean food.\n\nI am very happy to see an authentic Japanese restaurant among a sea of Korean Japanese establishments in the neighbourhood. They ran the same place downtown for 2 decades, so they know what they are doing. Although this is a totally different neighbourhood so will see.\n\nThe previous restaurant at this location Crazy Don lasted less than 3 years. I ate there once after its grand opening, and never returned. It\'s Korean Japanese. Prices were higher and portions much bigger.\n\nIf you are looking for Korean Japanese tastes / serving size / quality / value , this is not the place for you.\n\nHowever this will be my regular lunch place for sure. |

He enjoyed his pork chop, and I really enjoyed my duck. Everything was phenomenal. Definitely a place worth a splurge. Took a group of girlfriends last night and as usual, our experience was incredible. If you want pockets of heaven, order the (current menu) first primi pasta which is homemade pasta stuffed with a triple cream type of cheese. Outstanding! The barrel aged risotto with the halibut was excellent also. None of had pizza last night but I recently tried the broccoli pizza and it was fantastic. The Blanche cocktail is excellent too. Russ, the bartender, knows his cocktails...and his customer....we thank him for enjoying us! And thank you, chef Drew for your team's outstanding creations! I went with my parents (my 2nd time eating here) and we decided to eat at the bar because of the wait. The girl bartender with an excessively large bun on her head was incredibly rude and condescending. She seemed annoyed that we were there and tried to rush us so she could have more customers. It was literally the worst customer service I've ever received. Also, the menu and food is subpar and definitely not worth the prices nor the attitude from the bartender. I will never go back here!! We arrived shortly before 7:00 and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender greeted us and took our drink order. After checking over the menu we decided to try the charcuterie plate, a mixed array of meats, cheeses, etc. However, unfortunately we received the special plate which was a little bit of an array of things that we were unfamiliar with, and no one gave us an explanation upon delivery. We tasted a few things, but unfortunately the chicken liver mouse and some of the other things, still not sure what they were, not to our liking. We explained the mix up and we were able to replace it with a plate of prosiutto de parma, mortadella, and variety of cheeses and olives, more what we were looking for. We also chose the swordfish appetizer which was served with crostini and was pretty good. Finally we went with the margarita pizza, which was probably the best thing we had the entire night. Unfortunately throughout the evening the bartender was less available, leaving us with empty drinks for quite some time. Overall, I thought the food we tried was good, and I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, However, I was a little disappointed with the overall service and attentiveness to delivery of our meals. I do look forward to going back, sitting in the restaurant and trying some more entrees, especially the pasta. It looked great. Excellent excellent excellent- \nService was pleasant and helpful and food was flavorful and delicious! Try the octopus! |

It looked confusing . I walked in looked at the menu and i was confused on how to order these food items and iffy in general about the whole thing so i started to leave . The empolyees had knotice this and called me over to try some of the chicken . . . Well i tried it and i knew then i had to get over my social anxiety and let then know i have no idea what im doing to place such orders . Lol. They helped me through it and the guy .. proably the manager or owner, i dont know ,was so nice to me and generous that he gave me some free Samoas to try as well as his baklava. Needless to say i have frequently returned to this location and if i havent returned, im ordering . Its so good. The shwarmas are so fresh and amazing. Also ordering is in a subway sorta of fashion. Its fast and easy . \nAnd the prices are really nice reasonable. \nAmazing job you guys I tried this place yesterday simply because I was craving a donair. I am happy to say this was one of the best donairs I have had in a long time. The service was friendly and quick. The garlic sauce was amazing, even better than anything I have had in Halifax. I will definitely be back! Awesome donair. I have only had a few better in my life. The best part about this place is the toppings. The coleslaw they have is amazing and the garlic sauce..... Don't get me started. Awesome. Highly recommend. Stay away from the large unless you are super hungry. Medium is a good chunk of food. Beautiful clean place with fresh and delicious donairs! We really love discovering donairs around town and we are happy to have such a great place close to home! Been here a few times now and I can say it's a solid place to get your shawarma fix. Lots of fresh toppings and I think they even have a hot sauce they make in house. Had it once and was pleased. A couple of times the pita was a but dry but no biggie |

Food was just OK -- mahi mahi was swimming in a huge pond of too-heavy sauce.\n\nAbout the only positives were that I was able to get a seat right away, and the portions are large. 2 stars for the food, and an extra star for STAR SERVICE from our waiter, Moon. He was the only waiter taking care of the entire dining room - serving food, taking orders, billing tables, clearing plates - he's a one-man show! \n\nWe were really disappointed with the food. My boyfriend had been craving pan roast for the longest time. I told him about Palace Station, but he was afraid of the long lines and wait, so we settled on this place. \n\nWe ordered O.B.'s Pan Roast and the fish & chips. The pan roast base was thin and soupy. Not creamy, not rich, and definitely not decadent. Although there was plenty of seafood in the meal, everything still had shells on them~ You have to peel your own shrimp, fork out the lobster out the tail, and crack extremely thick crab legs. The mussels and clams were easy to scoop out. I felt like I was at Boiling Crab, and needed a plastic bib. At $38 for one pan roast here, I would rather buy 2 seafood pan roasts at Palace Station for the same price. \n\nThe fish and chips were meh. The chips were nicely seasoned and crispy, but the fish was soggy. The fish filet was considerably thick, making it difficult eat with your hands because it kept breaking in the tarter sauce when combined with the sogginess of the batter, which didn't hold the fish together. \n\nI wouldn't recommend this place to friends. Food is amazing. I've been here 3 times. Ordered a dozen oysters, bacon shrimp and tuna sashimi. I was lucky to get a seat at the bar. Everyone I just Vegas, I make sure to stop here. Seriously over priced! Beware, almost $30 for 6 oysters. If you are in Vegas and crave seafood, go to a buffet, it will cost you the same here and you will still be hungry when you leave. The food is really what earned this 5 stars. One chef who took our order was subtly rude. The other one checked up on us well and made very pleasant conversation.\n\nThis place was easy to find in Harrah's, and we got very quick service at about 8pm on a Sunday night. We had the Oysters Rockefeller style (baked with cheese, breadcrumbs, etc.) and they were FANTASTIC. The seafood risotto was also very well cooked and we got quite a bit more lobster in it than expected for $24. We will definitely be making a stop in here next year when we go back to Vegas!! |

A very disappointing experience. I ordered a brisket panini and it was 60% fat. When I showed this to our waiter he had no response. He charged us for it and had no comment or apology. I would never have thought a restaurant as pretentious as Mezzo would let this slide.\nWe had 7 people at our table who won't be going back. Came here for Valentine's Day. We were seated so quickly, which was a definite plus for a place that doesn't take reservations. Service was outstanding. Wine was delicious. However, the food just wasn't that good. My chicken was pretty undercooked (very pink), and the polenta was very soupy. The pasta in the genovese was cooked just right but the meat was pretty toothy. I will say the charcuterie was amazing, as was the tiramisu. Verdict - come here for wine, charcuterie and dessert, skip the meal. I love the space and the concept of the three story venue each offering something different. Mezzo (2nd floor restaurant) offers great food at somewhat reasonable prices. \n Start with a cheese board and a bread selection, small portions but totally worth it. We felt the best way to try this menu would be to order a few things to split and we were right. The spicy shrimp pasta was AWESOME. Had a real kick to it but bearable. Margherita pizza was tasty too. \n Before or after your reservation (or both) check out the bar on the third floor. I'm really excited to have dinner at the restaurant on the first floor as well. So much to do in that area! I\'m glad I was finally able to check this place out recently. A group of us stopped in on a Friday evening for dinner and drinks, and had no trouble getting a table quickly even though the restaurant was fairly busy. I love the large and open space, and the windows overlooking the street below. The garage doors were open and the space was nice and breezy. \n\nI started by splitting the eggplant involtini with a friend along with a delicious red blend. The dish was essentially a "fancy" mozzarella stick with eggplant inside--and I mean that in a good way. The dish includes only two of the little rolls, so we probably could have ordered another appetizer along with it. \n\nMy friend and I decided to also split a pizza, and we ordered the picante salami and peppers. The salami and banana peppers were delicious and perfectly spicy. I actually tasted some spice in the sauce as well--I\'m a lover of spicy foods to no complaints here. We were quite hungry before dinner and had no trouble demolishing the whole pizza between the two of us, but you could probably get away with splitting it three ways if you are also having apps/other dishes.\n\nI\'m only giving three stars because the service was bizarre. I appreciate when waiters and waitresses take the extra step to educate you about a restaurant, its menu, and what they have to offer; however, I felt like it was taken too far and the whole experience was condescending. It was sort of like being a child and having someone explain how to read a menu to you. Also, someone at my table had a nut allergy and asked about a possible accommodation--she was immediately told "no" without any hesitation. Once pressed, he finally went to ask the kitchen and came back stating that it would be perfectly fine. I understand that some things are premade and cannot be changed, but this was a really basic request and the kitchen clearly had no problem with it. So why not go ask before aggressively telling us no accommodations can be made? On that same note, they give you small pieces of biscotti with your check (we loved this detail), but the waiter made an unnecessary comment that "he didn\'t bring a piece for (the person with the allergy) because they contain nuts and he doesn\'t want her to die." Thanks for remembering and giving a warning, but maybe next time try to tone down the passive-aggression.\n\nOverall the food and space were great. Service, well, I think we just were not so lucky that day. I will probably give it another try. Atmosphere was nice. Ordered a pizza which was "ok". Server never brought my Iced tea and took a while to bring the check. Which was strange being that the restaurant was not packed. No A/C and it was a warm evening. Different but not impressive. |

I ordered the gordita de chicharron plate and was wonderfully surprised. Initially, I was imagining larger chunks of chicharron but the gorditas were filled with a finer chopped protein. I brought some in for my coworker and he's planning to head there with me soon. Good music. \n\nDecent food. \n\nOverpriced drinks\n\nHorrible service. \n\nI went to have dinner, and they charged me a cover at the door?! So confusing. Fun place and great music. Came for dinner before dancing and the food was on point. We also had someone in our party pass out for other health reasons and the manager or owner (not sure) was on the scene ASAP and handled it very well. Great place! It does get very crowded though and the music is very loud so be prepared! :) ok, I'm a little worried for two reasons. First, the average rating doesn't match my experience at all and second, at lunchtime, I'm the only one here. So, given that, the staff is particularly attentive to me. Service is great and speedy. I'm thanked for coming in by multiple people. I asked my server for a recommendation on lunch and she steered me towards the tacos. They're $3.50 each. I opt for shrimp. What is delivered is really beautiful. I'm sorry that I didn't take a photo. Two shrimp tacos that are full of flavor and a perfect lunch. They are spicy! I love that but do recognize that if I was not a fan of spice and had ordered these, they came this way without a warning. I will go back here and I will also see if they cater - they're close to my office and I could order lunch in if its available.\n\nThis place is a little hard to find the way it is tucked into the back of the building behind another restaurant but I hope you do try it and that they stay in business. Although the Chilaquiles were in chip form (which is not my favorite) the red sauce was bomb. |

The breakfast quinoa bowl is my go to and my wife loves the Avocado toast. We will be back soon. Ok so I really missed The Good Egg, but was willing to try the replacement, First Watch. Wanted an omelet but the menu was filled with rather bizzarre combinations so I just got the traditional two egg plate. What could go wrong. First the scrambled eggs weren't even scrambed all the way, more than half of it was hard boiled. The english muffin was dripping in butter, and the replacement tasted like cardboard. Only part that was good was thr fruit. So the waitress asked me how was everything, and I told her. she said yeah, thats why I don't eat here I don't like health food for breakfast. Wha? I have had healthy food breakfasts that were outstanding, and why would she admit this to a customer. I was not interested in anything else. Did assume shed take something off. Nope. Ok, no tip added then, and I won't be back. Very good, quality food. BLT Benedict is fantastic. Great service. A solid option in our community. CINDY gave careful and attentive service that I will never forget. The food was well priced and the taste was what you would expect from a California-style, farm-fresh ingredients-based diner. We had the Tacos and BLT Benedict. Both were good. They have a special, seasonal menu that gets prominently advertised on the wall and separate menu. But I would come back in a heartbeat if i was promised CINDY would be my waitress. The food is very good & the decor & service are great. The prices are quite high & portions a little scimpy. |

Taste, that's the reason to go to SWB.\n\nThird visit\nYou'd think that after eating at a place three times you'd find something that wasn't quite as good, but not here. Everything on the menu is great.\n\nMenu items to try\nTry the house made salmon burger with jalape\xc3\xb1o tartar sauce.\nOr the oven roasted turkey melt with manchego cheese, apples and Jicama. They also smear cranberry-green chili spread on the bread. Super Yum!\n\nYou can even get orders to go if you want to eat in your room, or by an outdoor fireplace. Came here with our family friends for dinner a couple of times. Sleek, modern take on southwestern cuisine. Very open kitchen with neat seating/tables.\n\nThe guacamole is very good, and they make it for you fresh at the table. Good acidity of the lime juice balanced by the buttery, tasty texture of the avocado. Low on the onions, which is good - I'm not a huge onion fan when it comes to guacamole. The chips are good, but not the best I've ever had. They do come in a cool cone basket though.\n\nThe tortilla soup is also very good. The bring the chicken and tortilla in the bowl, and bring the steaming soup broth in a ceramic jar, pouring it into the bowl to make the soup. The soup was creamy, spicy (not overly), and quite pleasant. Big pieces of shredded chicken.\n\nSalads were okay, but not great.\n\nI had the chicken quesadilla, which were two quesadillas (one corn and one flour) filled with jack and oaxacan cheeses and shredded chicken. Tasty and filling.\n\nThe maple glazed salmon is also very good - sweet and well prepared. The service was friendly, but was not the fastest service, so plan for a longer dinner. Not sure where to start, I was seated and then waited for 10 minutes before the hostess noted that I nobody had been to my table. She told me she would get my water and coffee, she came back with the water. I decided to go for the breakfast buffet and the food was not good - the potatoes were raw and although it was busy, it looked like everything had sat a long time (I assumed that the staff was not bringing freshly made items to the buffet but rather items sitting in a warmer).\n\nI finally saw a waitress half way through my meal and again asked for coffee. I never did see the coffee and juice I asked for came after I finished my meal.\n\nMediocre food, poor service and resort prices, I won't make that mistake again. After reading reviews on yelp, i decided to try out SWB since we were staying at the Hyatt. It didnt disappoint. We were greeted by a welcoming hostess and seated by the window as requested. And, as reviewers below mentioned, i purchased the restaurant.com gift certificate which came in pretty handy. For starters, we ordered the freshly made guacamole and corn chips which were made table side. We also got the Seared Chili Marinated Shrimp and Scallops. It was pretty good and a good mini tapas. For our entree, we ordered the Oven Roasted Sea Bass and Smoked Baby Back Ribs. I really enjoyed our sea bass. It was poached and smothered in this awesome salsa. The ribs were great as well, super juicy and big chunky slices. For our sides, we got mac & cheese and jack cheese grits. OMG, mac and cheese was awesome. It had a sweet kick to it because of the ham and peas. Mmm.. to accompany our meal, we ordered a bottle of Chateau st. michele chardonnay. We weren't able to finish our meal so they packaged it all up for it along with the wine. It made a great breakfast the next day. Make sure you get your gift certificate before you dine though. It's always nice to eat well and save $$$. Family came in from New York - and breakfast at the Hyatt has become something of a tradition for my cousins.\nWe met here on a Friday mid-morning, and all four of us opted for the buffet.\nNice selection of pastry, fruit, bacon, sausage, pancakes, scrambled eggs, eggs Benedict, made to order omelets and bagels with smoked salmon and all the expected add-ons for that.\nNice strong Bloody Mary, flavorful coffee, and a lovely morning out on the patio.\n\nYes - you are paying resort prices. That said - if seated outside, you have a view of one of my favorite resorts in town.\n\nNot something I can afford to do daily - and not something I'd want to. But for a nice change of pace - and a way to welcome my cousins to Arizona for this too-brief visit, it was perfect. |

Normally, I'm not one to complain about service, as I've been a server in the past myself, but our waiter was exceptionally rude and seemed clueless about the menu. He neglected to tell us that during the month of December, the normal drink menu is nonexistent, and that he didn't know what the happy hour deals were. That all would have been fine if he had even given us the time of day-I suspect he thought we were underagers, as Lucille is notorious for not carding (even though we were all 21.) Besides our waiter, the rest of the staff seemed like they didn't want to deal with our group (of only three people at 4 in the afternoon, I might add.) We were told that we had to sit upstairs for some unknown reason, even though there were multiple tables open on the bottom floor, and essentially that we had 1 hour to eat and then leave, since they were booked up with reservations at 5. We definitely didn't need more time than that, and obliged, but it truly seemed like the staff did not want to serve us/ deal with us at all. The pizza was good, but nothing I'd pay the absurdly high prices for if it wasn't free. The cocktail my friend ordered was a whopping $12 and served in the tiniest glass I've ever seen. One thing I do like about Lucille is that the vibe is very sophisticated, and the d\xc3\xa9cor is really cute; I really, truly wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, the insane price tags for mediocre food, and the condescending staff is really deterring me. This restaurant needs to get off its high horse. Very nice space and great location. We went for lunch. The food wasn't great though. We had a burger that was overcooked and not fixings. Salad dressing didn't have much flavor. Service was slow. We will likely not repeat. After hearing mixed reviews about Lucille I decided to give it a try for myself and the first time I went I loved the atmosphere and the food was good as well so I was excited to take some out of town friends here to try it again. We ended up getting to Lucille much later than we had planned but when we checked with the hostess to see if we could still order food she said our kitchen is open until 11:00pm and if you give us about 15 mins we can get a table ready for you. She took my info, told us to grab a drink and she'd text me when our table was ready. After 20 mins we came back upstairs to check with her an there was no one at the hostess area. I stopped a bartender who was passing by and told him I just wanted to make sure they are still getting us a table. He said he would check and I watched him circle around the bar and just go back to what he was doing. At this point we are starving so we left and went across to Tipsy Cow. Thankfully we explained to them what happened at Lucille and even though their kitchen was closing in a few minutes, they were able to accommodate us and the food was great! I never even received a text from Lucille. If they weren't willing to accommodate us I just wish they would have been up front about it so we wouldn't have waisted another 30 mins waiting. They should learn from their neighbor restaurants when it comes to customer service. I've been coming to Madison for two years and this has been the best meal an experience so far. Great pizza, beer, and service! Went here around Christmas and the atmosphere was as festive as it gets. In terms of beer variety, this place is well above average, with a healthy compliment of imports and locals, even if I sometimes scoff at the heavy lean towards hoppy IPAs. \n\nService was top notch. Our waiter, Josh, was polite and prompt and had superb command of the menu.\n\nI've been here late night for drinks and conversation. The vibe can be a bit loud/crowded for my taste. I could see a younger version of me loving it for the more conversational basement level which takes advantage of the architecture of one of Madison's finest structures.\n\nHowever, the food was the highlight. We had the Detroit-style pepperoni pizza, which is comparable to Jet's (or Pequod's for the pie connoisseur) in that it is rectangular and thicker with caramelized goodness on the outer crust. I hope to return soon to sample the thin crust and look forward to updating this review. I consider the Detroit style to be the best pizza in Madison, though I'll still be going to Grandpa's and Sal's for a change-up. |

Nice place absolutely love it! Ok so last Sunday I called around 8 to ask what time they closed. They told me they close at 9, I asked them "if I get there a couple minutes before 9 can we still get served? We are coming from very far away and we really like the food that\'s why we travel so far" the lady on the phone, one of the waitresses asked me what I would be ordering and I told her, she said ok that\'s fine we will see you here. I arrived there at 8:55 pm, before 9 obviously, I tried to open the door and in was locked, at first I thought I was just not pulling hard enough so I kept pulling then I realized it was closed. I had my daughter in my arms she\'s only 14 months, and the wind was crazy, I grabbed my phone and I called them, yes I am still standing in front of the door, the employees are staring at me as well as the owner and I tell them " hey I called earlier and I was told if I came before 9 you\'ll still serve me, I even already told the lady what we wanted" she said oh no we\'re already closed. " but i c\xc3\xa1lled and i was told it was ok" she then told me "the owner( la se\xc3\xb1ora) said were already closed and she clicked on me. While I\'m standing right outside the door. No hey I\'m sorry we\'re closed already, they literally just ignored a client that drove more than 30 min to get there. The owner of this place is a joke, I can assure you this business won\'t succeed. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. If you don\'t treat your customers with respect, they won\'t come back! And you can be sure no one from my 55 + members in my family will be coming here anymore, and I will make sure to tell everyone I know of the terrible owner and staff! Si quiere negoci\xc3\xb3 que lo atienda! Two for one shrimp cocktail is always fresh. Staff is great and! There shrimp cocktails are the bomb here , but you gotta be patient on Sundays they need to expand and get crazy busy Oh Hell no, what an experience! I got there at about 7:30-8:00pm. There were like 3-4 people outside the door like waiting, so I waited as I kept looking inside for like about 5-10min. I then decided to leave then after looking and looking for another place I come back at about 9..This time there was noone waiting outside the door so I stand inside, right by the door when a young waitress comes up to me and says..there\'s no place to sit right now, but wait a minute someone might leave soon! I waited about 3 minutes when another young waiter comes and tells me, "Hey, the house is full!" So, I was in shock!!! So I whispered in his ear, "Hey, I came earlier and left and now you\'re telling me to leave?" Thanks, never again! Very bad customer service! Very rude, to say the least. I don\'t recommend this place. I recognized from the last time I had been there a few years back, like 3-4 of them? I think this place takes preference over some regulars and treats everyone else like shit! They don\'t care. Also I heard from friends of mine that took me there the first time, that they open their Karaoke time with my voice singing Amor Eterno too? Crazy, and definitely not good at all. Think well before coming to this place.. |

We came here since we seen it had opened the dining room. The service was good and food was great. The huarache was delicious and the tacos were good too. Authentic and delicious food! We were in LV for EDC and looking for something different than the usual fast food etc. Saw the great Yelp reviews and rolled over to Tacos LV. Our expectations were exceeded! Felt like home as we entered and had a warm welcome from behind the counter. Friendly staff all around. Relaxed atmosphere with TV on, our food was brought to our table with a smile. We got the special that day, 3 tacos with rice and beans. Delightful and Tacos LV has their own homemade hot sauce/salsa ! And to top it off I was able to get Mexican Coke to go with my meal. The plaza they are located in is set back from the main road, but don't give up this place is a hidden gem ! We will def return when in LV again!! Best Mexican I have ever had short of mi abuela's food! :) and the staff is amazing! I love Mexican and I'm a tough critic so this is really a great place you must experience! Looks like fast food from the outside so I was skeptical but it is worth coming in! Just drove 12 miles to get to Tacos LV, based on 5 Star recommendations, and it has closed. It is not there anymore and the phone number has been reassigned. |

Extensive breakfast and lunch options and the prices are reasonable. I have been in my fair share of breakfast restaurants that try to tell me they are serving me a "big breakfast" only to come up short when the plates hit the table. Kotsy\'s - however - has a big breakfast that should scare you a little bit. In fact, I thought I was misreading the menu when I first ordered and ended up being shocked by everything I got for only $9.99.\n\nKotsy\'s is located in a tired strip center right on Highway 7 near the train yard in Concord. We walked in and were told we could sit anywhere in the brightly colored rock and roll themed left side of the table. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive.\n\nWe ordered the big breakfast and started off with three - cause two just ain\'t enough - eggs cooked to order. The dinner plate is then finished off with a half plate of breakfast potatoes that were wonderfully crispy. I usually prefer hash browns, but was satisfied with the breakfast potatoes. \n\nStacked on top of the potatoes are 2 pieces of bacon, two pieces of ham, and two pieces of sausage (peameal can be subbed for a dollar). Yes - that\'s right - you get SIX pieces of assorted pig delicacies included in your breakfast - that\'s a lot of swine.\n\nOh .... but you\'re not done yet because on the second tray the server brought two fluffy hotcakes that were bigger than the plate they were served on and two slices of white, wheat, or rye toast. Plenty of butter, jelly, and syrup on the side to make everything taste just right.\n\nKotsy\'s takes the usual cards and is only open for breakfast and lunch. Stop by for breakfast if you dare (and are able to relax in a food coma for the rest of the day). Let me start by saying there is nothing I enjoy better than finding good breakfast spots. Kotsy's is the epitome of old school diner with it's decor and vibe. For the last half a year I have been questing to find great Peameal and egg sandwiches and Kotsy's has definitely hit the top of my charts. Loaded with meat and cheese on an absolutely beautiful Kaiser it melted in my mouth. Bennie's are what they are known for so that in itself may be worth your time. Prices are good, food was excellent. I'll will definitely be back. Came here yesterday for the first time for a quick bite to eat after school.\n\nCute environment, and fast friendly service! It was pretty quiet but I guess that's what you get when you go in on a Tuesday at 2pm.\n\nI ordered the western omelette with no toast (because it's passover) and my boyfriend got some meat filled omelette. We also shared a chocolate milkshake. Overall a great experience and I'd definitely return! \n\nPrices were great too! My boyfriend and I are regulars here and it's our go-to spot for breakfast. I haven't eaten anything else except breakfast so my review is only based on that. \n\nIt's consistent so I like that I always know what I'm getting. Staff is friendly except for one lady which is the only reason I'm at a 4 out of 5. If they got rid of her I would change my review.\n\nShe argued with our waitress right in front of us being rude to her about how we are her table. This has happened with her twice in front of us on two different dates. |

Everyone agreed we had found a new favorite restaurant. Then churros. CHURROS! So good. It will take a while to let the smiles subside so we can talk again. Excellent happy hour. Watermelon tajin margarita was my favorite even though it was not on the happy hour menu. The only thing i didn't care for was the tortilla bowl the guacamole was served in as it made it hard to get out with a chip. Overall good food and service This place was such a pleasant surprise!! We came to Crocker for Bonefish Grill, but then we noticed a lot of cars in the parking lot and Cantina caught our eye. We decided to give it a go and we were seated right away. The inside is BEAUTIFUL. The food is DELICIOUS. The prices are AMAZING. I can not recommend this place enough!! I've been to several Cantina Laredo's in various cities and this definitely stands out with its great outdoor seating. I think the only better one was Las Vegas! \nGreat food great drinks are all to be expected and be warned they pour those margaritas like they mean it! Great addition to the city The food here is OUT OF THIS WORLD! All of the queso options are mouthwatering and delicious. I really enjoyed their take on the traditional eggs Benedict for brunch. Their service, on the other hand, could use some work. I've been here twice since it's opening and I've had bad service each time. The servers seemed to have an attitude as if they didn't want to be there or care to be serving us. Alas, the food is their saving grace. |

Always polite but slow, it's an understaffed family business. \n\nStill worth it for quality sushi that isn't gimmicky/fusion, that seems almost impossible to find anywhere else in the area. Sushi here is very good. Fresh and delectable.\n\nThis is not a run-of-the-mill Sushi joing where warm sushi rolls out from a machine.\nApparently this place has seen the times and they do things here the old style.\nLove it for the authenticity\n \nI liked the Gyoza too! 'twas just perfect with some warm sake on the side\n\nDecor is warm and service quick and friendly. \nI'm surprised this place has so little reviews. Must visit. Sushi was very good. Authentic, good location. My fianc\xc3\xa9e doesn't normally enjoy tuna sashimi, but she devoured theirs and is still talking about it.\n\nIf it's a hot day, sit near the bar to get some A/C, as the further from the bar area you get the hotter the room is when busy. Real authentic Japanese owned gem. Great service, great food, the shirashi we had was fresh there were at least 8-9 different items, generous with tasty pickles, sweet egg and good rice. I also liked the broth that came with it was very subtlety salted. We also had an extra green bean on the house which was thoughtful from the chef. Also the soft shell crab was very tasty will be back very soon to taste the other things on the menu. |

I had the Szechuan beef and Bitter chicken. Both items came with steam white rice. The beef dish was wonderful. The flavouring was just right for me. Not too salty with just the right amount of sauce. The butter chicken was okay. It had a little curry taste to it, with a more creamy sauce and a bit salty. The chicken is fried with a lot of sauce being poured on top. None of the items were spicy but they had chili sauce and pickled peppers on the side you can add in. They offer water and tea (tea bag) along with food. Seating area is comfy if you sit on the side with the bench. Music was what's playing on radio and was quietly playing. The restaurant had AC on so was nice and cool while you eat. The service was pretty friendly. I don't know what the fuzz about? I tried to choose zero but I couldn't . So I went with one star\n\nIf you love Indian food you are going to be disappointed the butter chicken tastes nothing like butter chicken \n\nThe Manchurian beef was too salty it could give you a heart attack. Plus they will tell you it's chilli. The realty it's not even 1/10 chilli\n\nVery disappointing experience plus our bill was 25 for two meals, one of them only had rice, no drinks. Also over priced This place is my go to Hakka chinese place. I love love love their food so much that 9/10 times I get take out, its from here. \n\nThe owner is very friendly and involved in the business, and you can definitely taste this in the food. We usually order the manchurian noodles, the manchurian pokara style with gravy and the paneer chilli with gravy. The dishes with gravy come with alot of plain rice. If you arent a spice lover like me , they're very accommodating and can tone the heat down. The portions are average sized, can feed up to 4 people. \n\nThe only complain I have about this place is the size of the restaurant itself. It is a very small place, and is often packed. Sometimes the waits are long, and I have had to wait (impatiently) for almost half an hour to an hour depending on the day. However, once seated the service is fast and the servers are all very friendly. And the crispiness of the manchurian (which you wont get with the takeout) is totally worth it! \n\n10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who loves the flavour bomb that is Hakka chinese food. Hands down one of the best Hakka Chinese places I have visited. The staff, quality/quantity of food were all A+, if I lived near this restaurant I would visit every week to get a glimpse of all they have to offer. To start We ordered Manchurian soup and shrimp pakora which were both very very good. The Pakoras stood out as they were nice n hot, ample shrimp, crunch and just tasted real good. We also got an order of wings which were ok nothing to rave about. For many course we went all out with Manchuria fried rice, scezchuan noodles, chilli chick, Bombay beef(my favorite) & fish hot garlic. Everything was perfect!!!! The food just stood out so well and the service we got from our waitress complimented everything. On a final note something that stood to me were the "regular customers" everyone was well received and noticed some just walking in to say hello to the owners. You don\'t see that often but when you do you know it\'s special. Great management and Great food. Hopefully I can visit again in the near future This is the best Hakka Chineese place in GTA. I love the Chilli chicken and Hakka noodles. The red chilli sauce is simply out of this world. Once you try the food here you will never eat any where else. |

If it's just two ppl I suggest getting one dish and extra rice. My husband and I can eat the left overs for two nights. \nLoved the General Tso's chicken! Mangolian beef was yummy too. This is now a favorite Chinese spot for us. SUPER satisfied!\nAlso, they give you a pot of yummy oolong tea that's complementary! Never seen that anywhere before. The Sunday brunch special is such a good value for your money! The egg rolls are huge, hot and sour soup was so good. My only complaint is that my husband got the amazing chicken and i got general tso's. I was expecting mine to be spicy but it wasn't and both of them kind of tasted the same. Overall, so good! I love this place. Everything I have tried here has been incredible. I usually end up getting some of their delicious sushi (i particularly enjoy the Napoleon roll), and their amazing chicken is very aptly named, yum! My boyfriend and I find ourselves at this restaurant quite frequently. There are 4 locations and we always go to the North Hills spot. We tried the station square restaurant once and it was disappointing. If you're looking for some great Chinese food and/or sushi, definitely give this place a try. Love the food. Never disappointed. We go to eat here a lot and tried all the dishes. Our Company Christmas dinner is held here. Every time I'm in Pittsburgh, I make sure to come here with my family. \n\nThe entire restaurant has great decor, atmosphere, and aesthetic. From the zen entrance way, you get a great feel for the place- stepping inside to see ceilings lined with big, beautiful umbrellas for a really unique touch. \n\nThe food and service never disappoint! They have an extensive menu, with great Chinese dishes, sushi offerings, and even a taste of Thai! You can't go wrong- go with your gut!\n\nSesame Inn also offers a fully stocked bar as well as a sushi bar. It's always cool to have a drink while you are watching your sushi get prepared. \n\nI definitely recommend giving this place a try. Reliable staff. Delicious food. Reasonably priced. You'll thank me later! |

Harvey's shtick is that you order your sandwich and then the counter people assemble the condiments to order in front of you at one of 3 condiment stations. I know it is a lot of pressure, but please be ready with your condiment order BEFORE you step to the station. I like coming to Harvey's because they are one of the few places to offer relish as a condiment. Their house special sauce is also pretty good. Awesome, if you live in oakridges. Best place to go because of its service and quick preparation. When you walk in the establishment it reeks of urine \n\nPlease change the mop head and clean the facilities \n\nI walked right out Ordered 2 #5 burgers with toppings one with onions and one without and got 2 #5 burgers with nothing.

Some a little mis-balanced - the gnocchi - but still quite good.\n\nThe staff - the kitchen staff in particular - don't seem to have enough to do. The chef is content to site at the bar and make disparaging comments about the owners, which seems unprofessional and unnecessary.\n\nThey haven't been open before New Year's - perhaps they are closed permanently? Eating downtown is generally expensive, but Osteria does it right--their happy hour special is what brought me here the other week. $12 gets you an appetizer sampler of your choice of three out of five options (I had a mozzarella sandwich, flatbread and roasted red pepper dip, and unbelievable meatball sandwich sliders). The roasted red pepper dip was possibly some of the best I've had in the city, and you really can't beat the price. Everything is share-able, we were able take it all down with a beer or a glass of wine, and it didn't put too big of a hole in our pockets after tip.\n\nThe service is quick and easy and the waiter couldn't have been nicer even though we were obviously not ordering much. It's a great location, too!\n\nI can't wait to come back to try an entree. Or another sandwich. Or more appetizers. I've been here for lunch a couple times since this restaurant opened not too long ago. It's a nice place to go for lunch downtown even though it is part of Point Park college. From what I've seen, the typical crowd consists of business people on their lunch break. The food is delicious and reasonably inexpensive. My favorite item I've ordered is the prosciutto sandwich. Upon a co-worker's recommendation, I actually substituted the regular bread on which the sandwich comes on with focaccia bread and wasn't disappointed. This place has some of the best focaccia bread I've had anywhere. Another item which I tried here on another occasion was the meatball sandwich. It wasn't quite as good as the prosciutto but still delicious nevertheless. Another good thing about this place is that the service is pretty fast. Overall, I would recommend this place as a nice lunch option downtown. I went here for dinner during Light Up Night, the Osteria team was definitely on top of their game, because the service and dinner my family and I had here was absolutely perfect. \n\nSince my entire family and I were at dinner we could basically sample half of the menu between ordering appetizers and main courses. Nothing disappointed - the meatball subs are enormous; the lamb sliders perfectly cooked and topped with a thin, salivating layer of caramelized onions; the mushroom bruschetta just lightly spiced enough to keep it from being bland; and their gnocchi was divine, and was probably the best gnocchi I've had since my return from a visit to Italy five years ago.\n\nAll the servers in this place pitched in to help keep tables clear of trays and water glasses full, especially once more people began arriving and needed to order. Our food got to us very quickly, and as we waited we had absolutely delicious glasses of martinis and wine to drink. Really, there was nothing I could complain about during this meal.\n\nI highly recommend this place; the happy hour looked reasonable, and more importantly, even during a night like Light Up Night, the restaurant was not particularly crowded, so it's the perfect place for a couple or a bunch of friends to come, chat, and enjoy some good drinks and food. \n\n(Note: maybe this was just during my night out, but you may admittedly need to ask for the music to be turned down. I had no problem with it, but I suppose some people might.) So if you read my tip about this place you will think I was complaining, but really, there were more employees than customers that night so the level of service was pretty bad given that ratio. \n\nI kept going back and forth in my mind if maybe I was being a little too hard on the fact that they added CORN and butter to a dish of crab meat pasta (and quite honestly, forgot to add crab -- there were only like 4-6 small chunks of crab in the whole dish.....), but then my Dad told me the next day that he was sick, throwing up all night from the chicken sandwich he ate!!! WTF is up with that?\n\nAdd in the fact that the bar didn't even serve Corona and I wonder about these kids' future after graduation..... |

Order online and skip the line to order! I LOVE CHIPOTLE!!! I don't live in the US, and while Chipotle does have locations in Europe, none are close to me :( So to compensate, when I'm back in the US I get my fill of Chipotle--at a minimum eating it 3-4 times in 2 weeks.\n\nMedina location has always provided good service and is quite fast, even during the busy hours of lunch and dinner. I tend to always take my order to go but eating there is nice enough (decorated in a clean, modern industrial style that while looks nice, isn't always the most comfortable but is fine).\n\nI always get the same order, veggie burrito or burrito bowl with white rice, veggies, sour cream, cheese, mild salsa and lettuce. Always accompanied with chips and mild salsa (to be eaten later in the day or the day after, I don't have that big of an appetite!). Writing this makes me salivate as I'm writing it...can't wait until next time ;) Chipotle Mexican Grill Loves to keep customers waiting in line i been in their 3 times and they kept me waiting for steak, etc to be refilled espically when they were holding up the line and people loosing their patience. Just one thing to remember this is Not fast food and it depends on when you go in to order. During one of my visit i got charged 19.00 and both burritos was 6.50 and One of them Guaco comes with it the other one i did not get over charge. \n\n This Place is Little Pricey but be careful what you order and how you order it. When You enter the first thing is The Music its so loud you have a hard time hearing the counter staff, Every time you ask the manager to turn the music down they wont making it hard to hear the person your talking to. One of the things to Remember is bring a Jacket every time i go in their its always cold and i am shivering. We usually order through the app and the food is always ready in generous portions for us when we pickup. Once when the app glitched, the manager, Anna helped us resolve the situation quickly and was very helpful! Never a bad experience! This could be the best chipotle in Ohio!!! The employees are beyond friendly and the restaurant is always kept stocked and clean! Keep up the good work guys and girls! |

Bertha's is a little hidden gem off the not so flashy corner of 32nd Street and Indian School. Once you walk in, you are immediately greeted by the tantalizing treats that are cleverly placed in a glass display. When you get past the ooohhs and aaahhs of the sweets (and decide which one will go with your meal), you can pick one of the delicious selections from the menu overhead. Whether it is breakfast or lunch, there is a selection that is bound to please. The waffle covered with candied almonds and fruit is to die for. I also really like the lunch special that comes with a half sandwich, salad, a mini cookie and chips. I've had quite a few different sandwich and salad combos, but they are all incredible. With a friendly staff and a patio dining option for those that like to bask in the AZ sunshine while eating, this is a total 5 star hotspot! This place is quickly becoming a favorite. Tried it with a co-worker on a Wednesday then took the wife back for breakfast on the next Sunday. both breakfast and lunch were outstanding. I have had a club sandwitch before but something about the flavors in Hers that just put it way better than any other I have had. can't wait to try more things. One of my go-to lunch spots. This little shop is right next to a Pilates studio and Smarty Pants consignment (good for some looking around after lunch). I love their lunch combo with 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad. My favorite is the asparagus and havarti panini, it's packed full of flavor and still fairly healthy. Some of their sandwiches can get quite heavy with lots of meat and cheese, which I'm not into but to each his own. It's also quite nice that every meal comes with an amazing cookie so it's easier to resist the dessert bar. Great food, great service, great twist on traditional style sandwiches. Can't say a negative thing about it. Holy breakfast sandwich! Did I hit the jackpot here. Can't wait to come back and try their lunch wraps, salads and sandwiches. So this was my first visit to Bertha's and so pleasantly surprised! Went to get my oIl changed and came here to blow off a little bit of time. Not only do they have Wi-Fi... They have stellar food! I had the turkey jalape\xc3\xb1o egg sandwich and it was freaking fantastic! They also give you this little surprise bonus... a small cup of nutty granola with fresh banana and honey. Total way to finish off you palet. Super excited to find this little gem tucked away and share this spot with friends and family. Winner winner! |

Tried it for the first time yesterday as we were looking for a place to have a good salad. This place was wonderful and met my expectations. Great choices of salads, wraps, and pizza. They even let you customize your salad if you want. They make your protein of choice on demand which was great because it was fresh. Will definitely be back! I was in the neighborhood today and in search of a quick bite to eat when I checked out Yelp and saw Crisp pop up. Bingo - just what I was in the mood for - a nice big salad. After reading a couple of reviews, I decided to try the chicken bbq salad. It came with grilled bbq chicken, roasted corn, tomatos, a little cheese and I asked them to hold the onions. It was served with a side of ranch and a little crunchy bread. \n\nI was not disappointed. The overall salad was tasty and the lettuce was nice & fresh. The folks working there today were very friendly and helpful. I was so glad I decided to give them a try! I'll definitely stop in again whenever I am in the neighborhood and looking for a nice big salad, sandwich, or wrap. Not much of a salad guy, but this place is a salad lover's Mecca. \n\nAnything you want. Huge bowl. Lots of stuff. \n\nThey do an amazing job with their grilled tofu and shrimp, too. Love the flavor. \n\nNot too keen on their beverages or their bread/side options. \n\nThe tomato basil soup is a little on the bland side.\n\nMake sure you're there when the cook who owns the salt shaker shows up. \n\nLove sitting outside though. Great place to eat at sunset. \n\nIf you're the evening workout type, this is a an awesome place to grab something light before you head back home. \n\nI recommend the Chinese Shrimp Salad. Great combo of smokey, grilled shrimp and mandarin oranges.\n\nOverall and Elizabeth staple for a quick and healthy lunch. Has potential to be great. Need consistency in quality. The home made dressings are oily and have little flavor. The meats are rarely seasoned well and can be on the well-done side. The crustini is pretty unusual (not in a good way) and could double as a giant crouton \n\nIf you're afraid of flavors and juicy chicken, this is your place. I stopped into Crisp for a quick bite before going to a show at Ovens auditorium with friends. With a convenient location and quick food delivery, it was the perfect choice.\n\nThe interior decoration is cute and the service was amazing. You order your food at the salad bar where an employee with customize your salad with any of the ridiculously large number of options available. They will then grill up your protein to order and bring the salad out to you while you wait (takes approximately 5-7 minutes). I had the tuna nicoise salad and it was one of the best I've ever tried. All the ingredients were very fresh and the dressing was fabulous; probably the best homemade dressing I've ever had. Salads run anywhere from around $7 to $10 and are so large that you could easily make two meals out of them.\n\nI've only been once and tried the salad, so can't vouch for the other food, but if it's as good as the salad, you won't be disappointed. The restuarant offers sandwich and pizza options, and a very large patio for sitting outside (with a glass of wine or a beer, which are both offered) when the weather allows. Bathrooms were clean and the parking was sufficient. I highly recommend Crisp for a healthy and quick meal. |

This is not the first time this has happened with the Cactus Club on Stephen Ave. They refuse to take reservations for a table of 2 and they always feed you the same line.... "we keep a large portion of our restaurant open for walk-ins", I\'ve tried this at lunch time with them , it\'s impossible to get a table at that time as a walk-in, unless you get there at 11:15. I can\'t stand it when restaurants refuse to book reservations for smaller parties. There is only one vegan option on the menu (unmarked), but it was pretty good. About 4 stars.\n\nThe beer choices are limited and the descriptions misleading. Minus 1/2 a star for that.\n\nThe service was definitely 5-star. I was amazed at how friendly they were are how deftly they handled the difficult diners in our group. Huzzah! funny - I went there twice within 2 days since the food is outstanding but the athmosphere obviously chances on a random basis.\n\nfirst evening: super athmosphere with very friendly and smiling staff. well organized.\n\nsecond evening (same staff): appeared rather stressed and in a rush, no smile at all and chaotic. \n\nnevertheless - I wont take it personally since there is always a reason behind someones behaviour and since the food is great, I'll be back for sure.\n\nby the way: first evening I had a steak, perfectly cooked to my liking. sideorder: broccoli and mashed. second evening: hunter chicken - this one is my new favourite in calgary! simply a must-eat. great taste |

In all fairness, I ordered takeout versus dining in the second time. I ordered the red dragon roll and the seaweed salad based on some positive reviews. I was quite disappointed with the entire experience -- the customer service was poor, consisting of a handful of confused or unwilling servers/hostesses running around trying to ring me up. I paid nearly $50 for an 8 piece roll and a seaweed salad. The quality of the roll was not worth the price -- the rice was hard/not fresh. I felt like I was eating grocery store sushi. The seaweed salad was good, but not extraordinary. The three stars reflect my previous experience in 2013 together with this one. I will likely not return here for sushi as I've had better quality fish and service elsewhere in Vegas. I\'m not going to complain because of the price ($400 for three people), but really, the quality, creativity and overall presentation is lacking. Vegas to me, should have restaurants of superior quality, where they may be overpriced, but you don\'t feel "blah" after leaving.....Well, the one saving grace for me was the Tuna Pizza....but really, you give me anything with truffle and I\'m a fan. The rolls were basic, the miso cod was so small....I mean, I knew we weren\'t going to get a big piece of fish, but what we got was VERY small!\nOur waiter was friendly enough, although he brought us the bill without removing the item we sent back.....was it on purpose?...Probly not, but when someone is spending $400, don\'t try and throw in extra stuff on the bill....\nThe hostess was a biatch! Yes, we showed up late for our reservation, but at 9pm telling someone that there would be no more tables for the rest of the night on the patio.....really? She just gave us attitude the entire time......\nVegas is a customer service mecca, or so it should be.....Yellowtail, I may be back for that pizza and cocktails...but that is it....Social has far better sushi! My favorite dish here is the tuna pizza. It was recommended as the most popular dish here and they did not disappoint. I already am a fan of truffle oil, so I knew this dish had to be good. The kobe beef tataki just bursted with flavor in your mouth. I also tried the sushi with the pop rocks which the name in itself already caught my attention. I think it's a cool concept but I personally did not like the sweetness from the pop rocks mixed with the sushi. I do appreciate the chef's creativeness in this. Overall, very good experience here, not to mention the beautiful backdrop of the Bellagio water show in the background at night. Been to Yellowtail numerous times and I can honestly say it is expensive, but life changing sushi. Yes I said life changing. You won't leave the restaurant full because everything is small portioned, but you are there to taste little, tiny pieces of heaven sent fish. Also, make sure you order a blueberry sake shot, you won't regret it...actually you might because it is so addicting and good, you'll end up ordering so many that you'll leave with a great buzz.\n\nNote: try making a reservation to sit by the balcony so you can catch the Bellagio water show. also, the doors open up and you can take beautiful pictures on the balcony. My visit in June 2010 was my second since first trying this restaurant in 2009. And, I have to say that both experiences were terrible. In both visits, a group of 3 to 5 of us had reservations. However, we had to wait an hour to be seated. During my most recent visit, the manager even had the nerve to say, "We\'re waiting for you. Are you ready?", after we sat at the bar for an hour (I checked in with the hostess several times). I was close to punching him where he stood.\n\nThe food was poor quality for the price. We ordered a couple of rolls and were told that they take more time than other menu items. Ummmm. . . . that doesn\'t make sense. You don\'t have to cook anything for the rolls we ordered. However, we theorized that they had to catch the fish first . . . . in Japan.\n\nIt\'s sad that this place is in the Bellagio, a high-quality resort. Of course, I will never ever visit this restaurant again in my entire life.\n\nThe End. |

The most wonderful sandwiches, for lack of a better term. A choice for all tastes. Owner brought back this specialty from Naples and now has a second location. I usually take the 'Napoli' L\'Artisan Piandineria is a well kept secret of Montreal. Walking by, you might never guess that inside is a small italian sandwich shop, started by a gentleman from Italy (Napoli region). The types of sandwiches are a unique style that I have never even heard about. In fact, I\'m not even sure if there\'s an english translation for the word, Piandineria. But, if there is, I\'m sure it\'s something along the lines of "the most delicious sandwich-style meal possible". The Prosciutto is sliced right on the spot and you can see all the fresh ingredients added in right in front of your eyes. The kind (and patient) owner/chef is always willing to help explain the concept of various items and speaks French, Italian, some German, and just a little bit of basic English. L\'Artisan Piandineria will always have my vote as the top place to grab a unique, delicious lunch that will fill you up and feeling satisfied, without feeling over-stuffed. Light healthy bread like a pita but 10X tastier heated on a plaque where the stracchino cheese melts and than you can add whatever cold cut Italian Style + salad and arucola... Try the porchetta for tastier or the prosciutto or turkey fast healthy and less than a Dixie ... Plus you get a history lesson from ENZO the laziest owner but can he cook up stories 5stars Not M5S Stumbled upon this tiny place. Happy I did. Friendly people, tasty sandwiches. Great find. I love piadine... So I was really excited to try it. However, while I was waiting (third in line) I saw the only employee going from cash to handling the food without gloves. I actually saw her give someone their change than put lettuce in the piadina with her hands and than cut it. It's unacceptable. If that is how they are in front of customers, imagine when no one is looking. So unfortunately I didn't get to try them because I left. |

Although it was slightly cramped when it got busy.\n\nFOOD: Food was good. I was kind of disappointed with their meal... I had their gnocchi (which didn't fill me up at all, disappointing especially knowing how heavy gnocchi should be). The menu itself was pretty short as well... Overall, the meals were decent. I will not be coming back here unfortunately.\n\nPRICE: Overpriced meals unfortunately. It's supposed to be a higher end restaurant but the meals they served didn't really match the description and reputation of the restaurant.\n\nSERVICE: The staff were very friendly. They did what they had to do and were quite nice! (Even if they messed up one of our orders) Essayer les calmars frits en entree... Succulent et les pates extra... Surtouta la Gigi!!! Went for my girlfriend's birthday supper. Just awful. Everything was much too salty, to the point where we actually returned her plate (which we never do). The chef had actually left the restaurant even though it wasn't even 8 PM. The serving staff were nice and didn't charge us her meal, but still, I don't see us ever going back. Trebbiano had excellent reviews on TripAdvisor so we decided to give it a whirl. Making a reservation was simple and the person on the line spoke English which was a help. When we arrived we were met by Bruno who was extremely effusive and gregarious as he led us to our seats. We had no idea what he was saying but the other patrons nodded and smiled and we simply hoped he wasn't calling us names behind our backs. His charm was infectious and we couldn't help but smile with him. \n\nThe wine list was lacking in depth and in any wines that had true character but I understand the Canadian palette to be expectant of wines that are fruity and flowery. I prefer wines with a bit more grit and dirt...the closest of which was a Gabbiano Chianti Classico Reserva...while there were some Puglian and Sardinian wines the majority were overly fruit forward.\n\nBecause I was having a sausage appetizer I selected a glass of the Ruffino Orvietto and we had a perfectly acceptable d'Abruzzo with our main course as it went with nearly everything and was harmless. \n\nMy sausage came slightly overcooked but still delicious on a bed of lightly dressed arugula. The light and fresh Orvietto cut the salt and fat of the sausage perfectly. All of our mains (all primi's) were well executed but one in our party thought the risotto was a bit too large of a portion. My Carbonara was deliciously salty and creamy. \n\nDessert was taken to a whole new level with a caramel cheesecake covered in bacon. Yes bacon. Simply awesome. And when completed with a simple Sambucca the meal was a rousing success.\n\nWhen on the South shore of Montreal be sure to seek out Trebbiano. Nous avions r\xc3\xa9serv\xc3\xa9 pour six personnes pour l'heure du lunch. Les moules \xc3\xa9taient \xc3\xa0 l'honneur et ceux qui les ont choisies semblaient les appr\xc3\xa9cier. Petite salade servie avec le menu du jour assez ordinaire. Par contre, le potage \xc3\xa0 la patate douce \xc3\xa9tait d\xc3\xa9licieux. J'ai pris les m\xc3\xa9daillons \xc3\xa0 la Gigi, beaucoup trop de champignons mais tout de m\xc3\xaame bons.

They wiped our table off with a dirty cloth, leaving chunks of someone else\'s cake behind. \n\n- Waited 5+ mins to order drinks. Water came with mysterious things floating in it. Sent it back. Waited 5+ more minutes to order food. \n\n- Strawberry/banana/orange smoothie was pretty much served in a shot glass. \n\n- Ordered Eggs Proven\xc3\xa7al: over-poached eggs, cold hollandaise and home fries.

Beautiful Restaurant ... My husband and I had ordered chicken and meat loaf on Thursday I think from the dinner for two menu and it was absolutely delicious...however the regular menu we ordered from at our last visit was very dissapointing! The atmosphere and decor are great here along with the service. The price is a bit on the high side for lunch. The bad part about this place isn't necessarily with the chef, but with the ingredients they have.\n\nI'm not going to go on much on my first experience here, because they compensated for it by giving me a discount. Just because of that I had decided to give them a second chance.\n\nSecond chance has come and gone with their Mussels special for lunch. Though the food and preparation itself was good, the quality of the mussels themselves are not too good. They were small and were not too flavorful.\n\nIt is kind of sad in that the chef prepared the dish very well already, they were just stuck with bad supplies.\n\nI am giving this a 4-star just because they were accommodating with my diet and allowed me to change the bread with some greens. Though I am tempted to give this a 3 as well because the food wasn't up to snuff. If they had a better ingredient supplier this place would've been awesome. The staff here are super nice. & the food is pretty affordable. Their patio is pretty awesome. This is our new favourite place. The service is great and the food is really good, especially for the price. |

Can't stop going back,. The food is wonderful and the the specials are upscale for a local bar. The waitress was at our table with a menu as soon as we sat down. Service was terrific and the food was excellent. I'll keep going back. Love, love, love the place. I have never been disappointed after visiting Hog's Head Bar. They have a large menu and everything I have tried is full of flavor. On certain days they have specials on food/drinks. Even the plating of the food is clean and appealing. The servers are always friendly and welcoming. If you haven't been here yet, you seriously need to go! Some of the best fries and food in general.\n\nI recommend the nachos, stuffed mushrooms, or buffalo shrimp as an appetizer. And their salmon sandwich is TO DIE FOR!! Awesome place!!! Very family friendly. Visited Pittsburgh for 2 weeks, ate here 4 times!! Every time we asked the kids (6 kids aged 7 through 16) where they wanted to go when we ate out they all shouted 'Hogs Head!'... Great tasting food with deals everyday. Especially their house burger. Great beer selection. And the people there are amazing! Kelsey.... With a contagious smile; very helpful and attentive with our group of 11!!! The kids all loved her! Trudy.... Funny funny lady had us laughing and laughing on our first visit.... Jennifer, our bartender on our last night there.... Kelsey's mom, another friendly bartender.... The owner, nice friendly guy.... came out to check on us.... Will definitely return when next I'm in Pittsburgh. \n\nNaomi,\nMiami Well, somebody from this place has finitely explained to me why there are differences between the the web site and what they do at the restaurant . It\'s not really their website. The web site was with 2 or three owners ago. The current owners are trying to get into the web site to change it but haven\'t been able to. On the web site, specials are for takeout, but they say that specials are only eat in. I think that they honor these 2 or 3 years ago pricings really shows that they want to show goodwill towards their customers but they can\'t absorb too much of a loss. If this was made clear to me the last time I questioned them about the discrepancy between the web site and what they did at the restaurant I wouldn\'t have had a problem, but I was just told,"It (the web site) didn\'t say that", in fact, calling me a liar. Since the new owners have taken over the food has been very good and the wait staff much better and seem happier. This is not gourmet food but it is great bar food. Great fish, burgers and wings. I've been wanting to try this place for the last 6 months but hadn't got around to it until today. My girlfriend and I stopped in for a beer and a quick lunch. The inside of the bar was very nice and updated, with a good number of TVs for watching sports. Restaurant side, bar side and upstairs (Pool table, etc) make this a great place for anyone.\n\nThe food was fantastic! It stood up to the lofty expectations that I had placed on it from reading previous Yelp review. We ordered the Chicken Ranchero wrap which was perfect! Per Kelsey's (Server/Bartender) recommendation we also ordered a pepperoni pizza, which was very good. \n\nA diamond in the rough. I will definitely be back! |

The worst experience you can have. We were a party of twenty. Most of us didn't finished our dishes. I had a veal parmigiana escalope, it was just horrible : overcooked, too salty, fatty... The last time I ate so badly was in Poland eight years ago... I let you imagine. Great big place for large groups, they have large tables and large booths. Food is good, nothing to wow about. Service was fantastic. The front entrance. Th front entrance is hard to find, no obvious signage on where to enter. Step up the front steps and then see "badali bar" on the left wall verifies you are going towards the right place. We shall return again. We went to this restaurant for the 1st time last night before the Raptors game. We arrived late and told the server that we needed to leave in 50 mins. Party of 6. The served us in 15 mins and we managed to get out before 7pm as indicated to the staff. Two managers knew were in a hurry. As for the food we ordered salads and pastas. The food was reasonably good. Kids ordered pizza from wood-oven very tasty too. As for value for money, was good considering the proximity to the ACC and the core. Would go there again. Joe Badali's is one of my parent's favourite restaurants in the city, and we go just about every time they're in town. The food is fresh, and delicious, and the prices are reasonable. The service is good, and the restaurant is absolutely huge, much bigger than you might expect. It's maybe not the trendiest place in the city, but their spaghetti and meatballs are outstanding, and I always look forward to a visit. |

The fries almost remind me of Bojangles fries. So good. Fell in love with Texas Pete hot sauce here. So far it's my favorite hot sauce. I practically killed an unopened bottle. \n\nFour stars because the tables needed to be cleaned so seating was a bit limited. There was an employee who came out while my bf and I were eating to sweep the dining hall. \n\nI ordered a Philly cheesesteak with onions and a side of fries. It was really good. I would recommend people to dine here. Service is pretty bad. Workers aren\'t unfriendly just seem to have no training. you order and pay at one station, receive your drink at another station, and your food at another beyond that. however 1. no one tells you this and 2. there are no signs that indicate this, you kind of have to figure it out and ask other bewildered starving customers. \n\nAlso it\'s just skinny crinkle cut fries with old bay seasoning. I wish people would stop using "crab" as an adjective when they really just mean they used old bay, it can be used for anything... The theme park chain has pulled in this outside food source . The food was acceptable but the service was ridiculously slow. We ordered fries and a sprite . Total was $13.62. I gave the cashier $15.02 . He returned the two pennies unclear on what to do with the change. We watched the kitchen staff fumble to put together orders. One woman could answer where the ketchup was (a bottle on every table ). We waited for 15 minutes for one order of fries.....which say on a shelf just out of arms reach the whole time. Fries were decent but even on a slow day, prepare to wait. Reasonable beer selection, including Natty Greene's. The service here was incredibly bad and slow. Something when wrong in the system. And we ended up waiting for our food for 30 mins while we were first in line. The food did no taste good. The put the tomato sauce on top of the cheese. I don't recommend this restraunt. Wow this place has 2 stars. When you walk in there are 5 screens to place your order. They were a little complicated but it didn't take us long to figure it out. \n\nI like the fact that they have the drink station out so if you have the free refill cup you can just walk right up instead of having to wait 15 minutes for the next refill.\n\nThere was a small wait to get your food from the next window but it's an amusement park. That's to be expected. However, the wait was not terribly long.\n\nWe got the cheese fries and they were delicious!!!!!!!!! |

This sandwich has eggplants cheese peppers and chicken on your bread choice. All sandwiches come with a side salad or small soup.\n\nI find their pur\xc3\xa9e soups are normally better. My favourite is their butternut squash soup.\n\nMost people order takeout but their seating (cafeteria style) holds about 30 people.\n\nThe workers are very friendly and will let you try the soups if you can not decide! Also join their fb fan page as they post their soups daily!\n\nAlthough a soup and sandwich will set you back $15, totally worth it in my opinion for a fresh sandwich and filling soup! Definitely a great spot :) I cant get enough of this place. \n\ncauliflower, cheddar & jalapeno puree soup - blew my mind. \nchipotle cajun chkn breast panini - \nsundried tomatoes, roasted garlic chunks, artichoke garlic spread, havarti cheese, roasted peppers, grilled zuchini and lime juice . Toasted. \n\nHEAVEN!\n\n$12.00 gots me the most elite italian style lunch ever done properly in mississauga ;)\n\nxoxo\nM. The food here is absolutely amazing. Everything is totally fresh, made right in front of you, and tastes phenomenal. It's definitely expensive, and the hours are strange, but it's totally worth it if you're looking for something healthy + filling in the area! Went in for a fresh lunch alternative, took it to go. Food was very fresh, albeit a tad expensive. But, you get what you pay for. I'll go back for sure! Try the prosciutto !! |

We go there occasionally and it is pretty much as you would expect from Denny's. The food is good, the staff is very friendly and there is usually not a long wait for a table. Sometimes its nice to know what to expect, I like the consistency, the good service and the value. I was quite surprised with this location. The place was nice and clean and in good repair, unlike the usual grungy Denny's you expect to walk into. On a late Sunday morning we were able to walk right in a grab a table. The place was busy but not full or overly loud and crowded. Other than the initial long wait to get our drinks, our server was completely on top of things through our whole visit.\n\nI ordered the All American Slam. Its a pretty straight forward meal which was well cooked. My girlfriend ordered a seasonal special which included berry pancakes. They were huge! She couldn't finish them so I had a couple of bites. They were delicious. If I wasn't so full from my meal I would have easily polished them off.\n\nOverall I was quite impressed with this location. Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!!! Free breakfast hooray. Best way to start celebrating. Came here for late brunch with my bestie. It was really busy but it's located at truck stop and it's New Years. For your bday you get to build your own breakfast....2 of and four items like eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, toast and hash brown. The service was excellent. Shaela was a super friendly and attentive. Although the food here is about what you'd expect from any Denny's, it's the staff here that have me returning to this location on occasion. Everyone I've dealt with is friendly, helpful, and efficient. These qualities are especially important when dragging three children out to eat. Not a lot of healthy options, but that's not exactly a shocker. Denny\'s has changed, at least at this location. Used to be our "go to" restaurant for a weekend brunch. We usually order two seniors plates with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes. We used to be able to substitute one of the pancake orders for toast. Nice option that gave us both to share. Not any more, if you substitute anything, they now charge extra. No small orange juice anymore - just the large - more revenue. Staff claims the changes are initiated at head office. No Calgary Sun newspapers anymore. On top of all that, the quality and portion sizes are both heading south. We\'ve decided its not the option that it once was - too many things have deteriorated at this location. |

This is a classic hole in the wall.\n\nRather my suggestion would be to go with your best friends to catch up over some good comfort food. The spicy dragon chicken is worth a try - its basically dry chicken with red chilli powder or something like that tossed freely with sauteed white onions.\n\nWe paid about 50$ for a meal for 4 with leftovers to bring home. Good quick eat if you're on a budget. Gives you great amount of food too so you definitely don't waste money. Used to eat here for lunch all the time when I was in high school. Also remember it's just a quick eat. Not an amazing food place. Ordered spicy dry beef, Manchurian fish, Cantonese chow mein. Spicy goodness and chowmein is real authentic with big shrimps. Big healthy portions and excellent price. Definitely going back. Service also very friendly. My favorite hakka takeout. Chicken pakora, chili chicken and mix chili veg are our favorites. Have been going there from past 3 years and never been disappointed. After eating the food at Epicurean at Niagara on the Lake today which was just awful (see my review), I wanted to eat some great food on the budget. We've been to Spicy Drago because they are just AWESOME... They get 5 PLUS STARS FOR FOOD!! 5 PLUS STARS FOR PRICE!! \nThis place is not the place to go on your first date. This is a bare bone hole in the wall. But the food is just SUPERB!!! We go there every week and they have never disappointed us. The price is very reasonable but the portions are HUGE!!! So if you go there, don't order too many dishes. Oh and they give you 10% discount if you take out. They are also very fast and each dish is made to order. Nothing is microwaved or reheated. They have the best Hot and Sour soup and at $6.50 for a big bowl that is enough for 4 people...that's a great deal. \nTheir Spicy Dragon Chicken is to die for......Love this place. |

I was willing to try anyway. I went for the simple staple Quesadilla with steak. My honey who loves this type joint had a burritto. Between the two of us, neither thought the food was very good. The steak was minimal for the price and the flavor was as bland as possible. The guac, ugh the guac was uneventful. I was suprised that I didn\'t hear, "Welcome to Tijuana Flats!!!!" like the carbon copy does. I really wanted to like this place but just couldn\'t. I will say that the decor was interesting and cool. The staff was quick and informative. This is probably a great spot but for $25+ I need to taste the great in the food and this just didn\'t have it. Really bummed about this place. I've been a huge fan ever since living in Central Florida. We drive all the way from Charlotte to Gastonia for our Tijuana flats fix ... it's been good at times but the past 2 times have been awful. Service is always good but I've seen a major lack in quality/taste of food. Not sure if we will be back. Food was OK. I came for.lunch and order blackened chicken no borrito which is borrito in a bowl made with rice, meat and toppings. The food was just average was not impressed. The chicken was very bland, small and almost thought I had a vegetarian bowl. The staff was polite but stood around in a circle talking to each other most of the time. They say its a full service but when you walk in you have to.order and pay at the counter. The food is made i n the kitchen where u can't see it unlike other places. I don't know why they call themselves waitress and request a tip when they dknyo do anything. Kinda confused at the concept. This is a fast food joint that's like Chickfila having waitress?!?! Maybe this place is better at night. I don't know. They have a lot of beer and drinks optionsm prices look good! I would suggest trying this for the beverages. Also they have a lot of hot sauce a to try and they are good and you can purchase them to take home. I probably won't revisit. Not impressed and food was just OK. I will say bathrooms were very clean! My second time here and the second time we have had slow service. Easy order 2 kids tacos, 1 kids burrito, and 1 order of nachos. Still waiting after 15 mins. The food has been good, just slow service and a poor design on ordering. There are other places to go, we'll go there next time. If some divine power came down from the heavens and said "Lo, ye may not eat of the burrito of Tijuana or else ye shall perish forever", I\'d be all "Guess. I\'m. Gonna. Perish."\n\nSrsly, this place is great. Get a carnitas chimichanga or just a blackened chicken burrito (both are yuge!). And if you\'ve gotta sensitive little baby tongue like me, try the mae ploy sauce from their huge sauce bar. The chef is dope and always comes out to ask about your burritos. The rest of the staff are super friendly too, and I\'m all about that. Also, the music is super great, from Journey to Arcade Fire |

Food was fantastic and the owner Maria was super sweet. I felt like I was getting a home cooked meal! Love our new neighborhood spot. This is a true mom and pop restaurant. The food here is amazing and the staff be it quirky and feisty are wonderful genuine people. Prepare for a leisurely meal if you are in a hurry kindly mention it up front Or come back when you have more time. \n Not only is the food wonderful Maria recognizes me warmly every time I come no matter how much time has passsd.. Everything is good but the mole is border line sinful. Food is amazing but service VERY slow. The owners serve and make drinks. So if there's more than 3 tables full, expect a long wait. Last time I went I called my order in ahead and that helped I've been coming here for about 2 years now and more recently about every week or two. I introduced my Fiance to this place and he loves it! His favorite thing to order is the Albondiga soup! I have not had one meal that I did not like either. The chips and Salsa is great! They recently had another waitress beside the owners, but to be honest we don't mind waiting for the quality and taste of the food! It is amazing and worth the wait! Prepare to savor each bite when you visit Mark and Maria's - you'll have the opportunity as things move at their own pace here. Nothing wrong with that as the food is amazing. Just learn to work the system and things work out very nicely, ie be prepared to order, go to the counter to pay your bill! Only place in Phoenix I have as a 'must visit' on a weekly basis. |

I was pleasantly surprised to find out it wasn't. Taking on the fresh bowl concept, Hummus provides lots of options and so far, all taste great. I had the classic hummus with lentils, arugula and steak with a bunch of nice toppings. Very tasty. I will be coming back as there are a bunch of combinations I want to try. It's definitely worth checking out! It's difficult to find healthy food when visiting family in Henderson. The food and service are equally great! I wish we had a place like this in our neighborhood! Good food and a great idea. However the space was too small so there wasn't enough seating. I personally like the entire experience. A healthy place which is awesome! You got to pick your hummus and your toppings . We had both the spicy and the regular hummus which both were tasty. Tried the Halloum side which was ok but the falafel was the only thing that was flavorLESS. That's the only thing that needs improvement. Besides that the people that work there were very pleasurable and nice which is always a good reason to come back. Thumbs up for me We are locals here (part of the year here, part elsewhere). We eat out every single day. We recognize that the restaurant business is a difficult and tricky business to achieve success in. We eat in divey out of the way places and in high end restaurants (think Hank's in GVR). It is with this in mind we write reviews.\n\nHUMMUS is terrific. It is a small place, a little tricky to find, that offers excellent flavor varieties of hummus and middle eastern food. It is set up similar to a Chipotle in that you choose your hummus base, your greens, your rice or black beans, your protein which consists of beef, chicken, lamb, grilled vegetables and other choices, your sauces and enjoy it in a large bowl or wrap configuration. It is outstanding! Healthy, vegan and gluten free options if you prefer. The flavors are magnificent, the ingredients fresh, the serving size is ample and a value for the price. They also have unique soft drink flavors. This is not your run-of-the-mill middle eastern restaurant. It is very casual and comfortable. Old movies play on the wall while you eat which is fun.\n\nLove this place. Great tastes, fresh and healthy choices, excellent value. It is worth searching out. In a sea of restaurants, HUMMUS stands out as an excellent choice that we can heartily commend to you. |

I love sweet potato fries and they cook theirs perfectly. This isn't a bar that was thrown together it's a destination. Not a lot of bells or whistles here just great food and a great staff.\n\nDrink specials are great & their signature burger is great. \n\nPrices are on the lower end for what's available in Belmont's downtown. This is a Friends knockoff. Limited menu, cold beer, two guys working on a Saturday. \nThe home made chips were limp and tasted as if they were made with last weeks oil.\nIf you remember belmont food and beverage, this is the dumb cousin who took it over. Brand new. Great space and awesome atmosphere. Wings are amazing - BEST in Belmont. I hope they add more food options as they grow. Definitely a great addition to Main St. Belmont. \n\n^^So I wrote the above a year ago hoping for progress but I'm SO surprised to see they've back tracked. The menu is even smaller now and they've removed all of their delicious entrees. What's the point in having all of the space to only serve bar food? This is a decent restaurant near the Liberty campus. The food was pretty good though you get what you pay for when you have steak under $20. The service was very nice and this a place we would come again because it's not super crowded and pleasant inside. Welcoming and delicious. As we walked in a couple people (regulars, more than likely) sitting at a little table outside gave us a friendly greeting. Then as we walked inside and made our way up to the bar another regular welcomed us. Once we were seated the bartender came over with a warm smile and took our drink order (Kona Pipeline Porter on special for $2.50!). We were starving after doing renovations all night and asked if the kitchen was still open. It was around 9:50 and I suspect the kitchen closes at 10:00 but they more than happily made us food. The menu is small but has a nice variety. Apps, salads, sandwiches and a few entrees if memory serves me right! I noticed a chalkboard with dinner specials on it. The nights's feature was smoked 1/2 chicken with 2 sides. We opted for a Caesar salad, barbalo wings, sweet potato fries and a chicken jalape\xc3\xb1o flatbread. Everything was fresh and delicious. The flatbreads are where it's at though. They are bigger than you would expect. That goes for all their portions which are more than reasonably priced. Next time you're hungry and in Belmont give Supply a try... I just may be one of those guests at bar giving you your warm welcome ;) |

Pure garbage now. Been going here since the day they opened. The last year or so had 3 bad experiences at this location. Ranging from sitting for 20 mins and never even being acknowledged to Crab that is severely undercooked and cold. Not to mention the useless GM that is likely the cause of this quality slide. Bottom line, I loved this restaurant from day 1. It was 5 stars solid for the first year or so. They used to bring your food out as it was ready. Now they bring it all together likely undercooked and cold. Avoid this place unless you like poorly run establishments that will give you a garbage product. \n\nI will never give this place another chance which is a shame because I live in the area and use to recommend it highly to everyone. Won't even go back for the great beer selection as I am not interested in giving this place another penny of business. Delicious food! We tried a few different things, catfish, cod, calamari and everything was excellent! Can't wait to go back. Was unsure what to expect from this place at first, but now I love it. When you first come in, all of the tables are lined with butcher paper on top. There are no plates or silverware, but you do get a roll of paper towels (and you will need them). \n\nThe menu has bags, baskets, and platters. But the main attraction is definitely the bags. You can pick from a variety of seafood to pair with seasonings, spice, and sides (corn, potatoes, sausage, etc.). I went with the crab, and it did not disappoint. Both the snow crab and king crab legs were amazing. Plus, it's a lot of fun to crack the shells (definitely a stress reliever). \n\nOverall, it is a fun, tasty experience. I will definitely be returning here. I love eating here, the price is right, the food excellent, the dining experience can be either a sandwich and fries or a full on crab or crawfish melee. Ya wear a bib! There is a bucket for discarded shells! There is a paper covering the table! Your meal may not include a plate or silverware! There is an on-site pub with great beer selections! And the menu offers either great seafood or great BBQ! I love BBQ but it's the Crab I'm craving. It's a beautiful messy affair. I had snow crab legs (I think they put your crab legs and sides, potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage in a bag with your choice of seasonings and how spicy you want and boil the bag then bring it to the table with the necessary tools) and potatoes. 1- pound was two sets of legs. It's fun eatin' it's good eatin'! That was $19/pound snow crab legs and $.50/potato. I also ordered 1/2 dozen charred oysters- really good at $12. I really love this place and you will too! Very upset with my latest visit to angry crab shack. As soon as I entered with my 2 grandchildren a hostess named Ashley greeted us. The greeting was not very welcoming and she almost seemed like she didn't want to be there she was constantly giving me attitude and and I was not pleased with her.I don't think you should be working if you don't like your job. On the other hand the food was great and my grand children loved it I'll be back certainly for the food. |

My boyfriend saw that this place was open and close by and decided to take a chance and holy cow, I'm glad he did. Without having been there myself, I could tell that the wok my noodles were stir fried in was very well seasoned, just by the color. The entire dish was very flavorful, definitely the best I've had since we moved to Phoenix. My boyfriend said that the place was very clean and well maintained, I'll take his word for it. He also said that a woman was sitting in there making fresh crab puffs, I'm glad we got to try those too. They were good! I will definitely be going back (or begging my boyfriend to get some for me). I absolutely love this place. The owners are always super nice and accommodate my weird picky requests without any issues. I also love that they're open late because I work odd hours. The food is straightforward and delicious. I only wish they had a pupu platter! I ordered Kung Pao chicken, and it tasted like nothing. The vegetable spring rolls were too ginger-y. The fried rice was white rice with soy sauce on it. I haven't tried the soup yet, but I'm not optimistic. We ordered chicken lo mein pork lo mein and crab puffs. The food was amazing, quantity was perfect and flavoring was on point, we will be eat her regularly as we've been searching for good Chinese food for a long time! Will not disappoint! This review is targeted at the customer service. Each time I order online my card gets declined. I pay in cash instead. \n\nThe owner calls every time with an attitude about the card declining, asking if I\'m still paying. I\'ve told him twice something is wrong with their site but he says "I don\'t know what\'s wrong, can\'t fix it." If the site doesn\'t work, don\'t have it as an option to place orders. \n\nFood is pretty good, most recent order of General Tso was a bit fatty. \n\nI don\'t know if I\'m going to order again. I don\'t like getting an attitude from the manager about their business having an issue. |

An Irish bar that features an insane amount of tequila. \n\nOne of the best bars on Carson. Great bartenders and Jake is great on Saturday nights. Cheap drinks and a great atmosphere. \n\nYou should drink here. Midget Madness. Need I say more??\n\nOn Monday and Saturday nights they have a midget that goes up and down the bar pouring shots down your throat. Several costume changes are involved. Its maybe one of the best things I've ever seen. They've got a great beer selection and a few TVs that we found useful for football watching. But really, who can pay attention to a TV when you have a manboy running around?!? So I came in with my friends on st Patrick\'s day, after 6 pm. We hadn\'t been drinking previously and started here. The bartender, after receiving my generous tip, told my friend who had maybe a total of 2 drinks was cut off. She said if he wanted to argue it he could go "fuck himself and leave". Confusing because like I said, we hadn\'t been drinking prior to this bar. This skinny bartender with over pronounced eyebrows lol preceded to then serve the girl who was minutes before puking in the stall next to me. She was clearly more intoxicated than my sober friend and she was so rude I won\'t return if she is working lol |

They are damn hot! It's a refreshing contrast to the usual bland-wisconsin food (no thanks to the germans and scandanavians that settled the region). There are olives in the beans and that is actually delicious. I can't stop spooning the spicy mush into my mouth. The sides I ordered -- and YES, I ordered several of them ! ((cuban black beans, macaroni & cheese, coleslaw & potato salad)) -- were pretty good, bordering on VERY good.\n\nThe chicken, though -- not so good. I should have gone w/the rotisserie style chicken, that was my initial thought, but I said what the heck & got "Southern Fried" instead. My chicken was more like "Southern Grease Soaked." It was lukewarm, it wasn\'t fresh, it was sitting in a puddle of grease, the skin was pretty inedible... meh. It just didn\'t go over well with me.\n\nIt was delivery, not eat-in, so maybe that was part of the problem. The order came relatively quickly after I ordered, so they get points for quick delivery, but it also leads me to believe that the food wasn\'t fresh/hot when they left the restaurant to bring it.\n\nAs I said, the sides were pretty good, although not very seasoned. I wouldn\'t order from there again. This football season when the Stadium was too packed and I surprisingly found the Gridiron shutdown to become some "Euro-Hotel" (ha!), I stumbled across good ol\' Kipps. Props for serving the fine Widmer brew and mac\'n\'cheese. And a little old school hip hop mixed with n\'sync?! Gotta love it! Some sketchy port-a-potty\'s, but hey, after a few beers and brats, Wisconsinites can\'t help themselves, I guess. Be sure to check it out on game day - you\'ll be pleasantly surprised. Have I ever mentioned I was lazy? Well, I am. Sometimes I don't want to leave my desk to grab some lunch. But, man, do pizza and subs get old in a hurry. North American Rotisserie is a fantastic alternative to your usual delivery food. Great chicken and sides (mmm - potatoe salad). Quick service. Reasonable prices. A little disappointing...tried the catfish fillets with 2 sides: sweet potato fries and creamy spinach. The S/O got the short ribs with three cheese mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatoes. I would have to say the sides are carb-i-liously good. There isn't anything too great about their BBQ sauce they tried to package off and sell by the jar full. Wouldn't go here again, but was curious enough to try. |

Unique looking great design place with superior background music in a cross between modern Danish and garage but with acoustic padding and great really great look to the place. The seats are wonderful the layout is attractive the menus beautiful to look at and the food is quite decent. The staff is actually charming helpful and lovely and quick to please. we're at the one at the edge of the West Island of Montreal Quebec and it definitely needs more people on a Sunday to be here to stay in business but it is clearly fairly new and quite overlooked. It deserves many more people here but we're glad to get the fantastic service so we give it a 4 stars out of 5 |

I have provided feedback to locations manager and I look forward on seeing improvements. Rude employee. Bought 6 different meals for my family. Asked for 12 sauces, which would be 2 per person/meal. Sounds fair? Nope. Employee said I could only have 6 sauces but could buy a tub of sauce. Why can't I have 2 sauces per full mean I purchased?? 2 sauces per meal isn't excessive. I want to start off by saying i LOVE Chick Fil A because they have AMAZING employees and OUTSTANDING customer service! I camped out ing 15 deg wether 2ce to be forst 100. This experience made me very upset and letdown by the company. We came to AZ from Idaho to spend time with family. We took them to our favorite place and they were having a mother son night. We have 2 special need boys and one 7yr old who were hander foam swords as we walked in. On our way out we didnt think they had to return the foam swords and one employee yanked it out of the boys hands. Didnt say hey u cant take those, nothing. Multiple parents saw what happened and were very upset. The boys were crying in the parking lot so me an one other mom went back in I spoke to the manager Nick and another mom to the lady who took the swords. They ended up giving us them but I was so beside myself the place I choose to take my family to had that kind of experience. Love the cleanness ,the customer service. And for sure their food .\nThank u for every supportive to this restaurant that make the chain bigger and give our kids the opportunity to eat good clean fast food . Great food and great service! Drive thru gets a bit long during lunch hours but it goes really fast ! |

Prices are good and food is delicious. Ordered three tacos, carnitas, barbacoa, and chicken. All were wonderful! The barbacoa had a bit of a spicy kick to it but not overwhelming. All of the meats were juicy and tender. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Great for a quick meal - friendly service, fresh delicious toppings and tortillas, now has beer available. The only negative thing I have to say is the meat is pretty bland - not seasoned really (I had pork and chicken - preferred the chicken). All tasted great with the awesome toppings and salsas though!\n\nAlso happy to get the buy-9-get-1-free punch card :) Was excited to try this place based in all the great reviews. Where I live I can never get a decent carnitas taco. Maybe I'm picky. I ordered pork tacos here with cilantro and onions with a little pico. It was tasty. The corn tortillas were nice sized too and I appreciated that they didn't fall apart when I picked up my taco. I hate when I get tacos like that. Hubby got a steak burrito. He said he liked it. Great portion size. I recommend this place for good Mexican food. Not the best I've ever had, but it's up there and that made me happy. Excellent place! Tacos were great! I was glad that I could order three different meats to try them. I preferred the steak and pastor over the chicken. I love the spiced onions and green salsa. Price is right too! This place is top notch. Will be going back. Lord have mercy. I\'m angry with all the people giving this place 4-5 stars. Y\'all lied to me and now I\'m out 20 bucks. Just why?\n\nThe order: \nNachos with pastor and 3 carne asada (steak) tacos, delivered. \n\nDon\'t get delivery. It took an hour and my food was cold. But even worse than cold food is SOGGY DISINTEGRATED CHIPS. I mean come on, how hard it is to pack the chips separate? Or at least put them ON TOP of the wet stuff instead of underneath when you know they\'re taking a car ride to the customer? Easily avoidable but instead I got ruined food. \n\nThe quality:\nDude, why did my taco taste like canned soup? How is that even possible? \n\nWas it the weird strips of pastor that clearly weren\'t cooked and cut from a spit? Maybe the meat was boiled rather than roasted/charred? The texture was way off and the meat wasn\'t flavorful. \n\nWas it the tomatoes in the pico? Which should have been fresh salsa but instead had tomatoes that squished to an indiscernible red mush when you touched them. Were these tomatoes cooked or overripe? I had to pick them out of the taco to get rid of that weird Progresso Soup flavor. \n\nPerhaps it was the utter lack of cilantro, what I got was a sprinkling of wilted leaves in a dry taco. \n\nOh, and the double tortilla was a no. These are not little street tacos made out of thin tortillas that have been tossed on a grill to soak up some of the delicious meat fat. These are two massive, thick, machine made tortillas you can buy at the store. Like these are the same tortillas I have in my pantry right now. You don\'t double these because they are too thick and make a dry taco. They didn\'t even tastes grilled, just like went straight from the bag to my plate.\n\nEven the salsa was bad. The red is an overly thin flavorless habanero nightmare and the green is an almost delicious but OH GOD SO MUCH SALT disappointment. Go with the green. Skip the pico unless you like Campbell\'s minestrone flavored tacos. \n\nAt $8 for 3 tacos that\'s over 2.50 each for less than mediocre BS you could make better yourself. I actually removed all the soggy chips from my nachos which made me see a) not many chips and b) not much topping. \n\nThe carne asada on the nachos was at least more flavorful than the boiled pastor, so I used it to fill a taco. It was fine. \xc2\xaf\\_(\xe3\x83\x84)_/\xc2\xaf \n\n2 stars since I had a bite that was just a pinto bean and a little cheese and it was like "ooh flavor thank you" but sadly this "flavor" eluded me for the rest of the meal. |

I thought I was going to get that groovy dive or at least diner experience. Well yelpers, there was nothing groovy about my experience. \n\n1st to our server, sorry to have bothered you by coming in as you were coming down off your Meth high. This woman was definately an addict of some sort. After repeating our order several times and her running to the manager to ask questions, we finally got some food. \n\n2nd the food? Is this real food or a food substitute? I ordered 2 eggs over medium, a chicken breast instead of a steak, hashbrowns and toast. The eggs were sunny side up runny yuck. the chicken was rubbery with no flavor possible microwave victim. The hashbrowns were under cooked and the toast well buttered bread was more like it. \n\n3rd back to the server and service or lack there of. The server drops the check and then disappears for about 10 minutes. The bill was like $4.09 clearly that\'s not right for 2 breakfasts with beverages. So we hunt her down to let her know that she made an error & we were under charged. She snatched the reciept and says "Oh you would have loved to have this check, huh?!" She then turned and rushed to get a new receipt. No thank you nothing, RUDE! She came back dropped the new check and then disappeared for over 15 minutes. This check was charging me for 3 eggs, I got 2 eggs. Then she charged me for the steak breakfast plus an ala carte chicken breast! 15.00 later I am searching for a manager. The manager wasn\'t doing much better in the service department. She basically said I lied and had 3 eggs, because the toothless wonder in the kitchen said he remember cooking 3 eggs. I said did he remember that he cooked them wrong too?! \n\nBad bad bad!\n\nThis place looked like fun and it\'s closed to my house. Since they closed the village inn by me I thought this might be a good replacement. I was wrong! Value, Fun, Friendly and a Little Kitchy...but in a good way!\nThe hostess was friendly and fast, she seated us right away and got us menus & beverages. And the good service continued with our waitress who took the time to explain menu items, kept us in beverages, condiments and ensured we were satisfied with our order. Now onto the food, we had breakfast. The value can't be beat. We had a wide variety, from pancakes to Tex-Mex and it was all delish. \n\nPlenty of free parking, clean bathrooms and a fun wall of photos, signs and eclectic decor. The entire experience was fun and festive! What a great way to start the day! Just darn nice servers in a classic, 50's style cafe, serving up good, honest food, with generous portions, at a more than fair price. \n\nI have been twice in the past 6 months, both times the place had a nice, mellow yet happening vibe. Definitely recommended! This place reminds me of the many breakfast joints I miss in the Chicago area. Good basic food. Plenty of it. Super low prices. Down-home, informal, good stuff. \n\nDon't get me wrong... If you're looking for organic and upscale you're headed for La Grande Orange or True Food ($$$). If you want the best tasting breakfast you've ever had, you're going to Matt's Big Breakfast ($$). If you want a place to eat every week (or more) that's good, filling, inexpensive, and convenient for meeting with people... it's Fast Eddie's, Joe's Diner, or Acacia Cafe. I been here twice the two times I've been here I been satisfied to the point I was going to pop. I did feel rushed to order. I didn't have enough time to look at the menu. Other then that the food is good. And the waiters are great |

The artistic presentation of the sushi was the best I have seen anywhere as this is an art, not a science. I cannot recommend this restaurant more strongly and look forward to returning on my next trip back to Las Vegas. Been searching for the best sushi in town since I moved to Vegas two years and ran across Yellow Fin this weekend (saw other 5 star reviews on Yelp)...this is an amazing find!! The best non-tourist sushi place in town by far, great service, and ambiance. Don't let the Sapphire Club next door scare you away, this place is definitely off the beaten path....but, we'll be going back often. I've had sushi all over Las Vegas....on and off the strip, this is easily the best sushi bar off the strip and goes head to head with other top rated sushi bars on the strip. Yellow Fin beats all others for price, quality and service. Don't miss out, if you love great sushi and sashimi this is the place for you. The cooked dished are great too!! A fun place with tasty food, you can't beat it. Got there the first day at 4:30 am and service was excellent the food was amazing, thx Bruce for letting us eat even you guys already closed. Try the soft shell crab! Food was awesome, and service was great. New place always has a few kinks to work out, but this place is here for the long run. Definitely coming back. My fiancee and I ate here back in June on my birthday. Every single part of my meal was exquisite and delicious. The ambiance was perfect. We were really lucky to find this place in Vegas. This is the best place to go for sushi in Vegas. |

They tend to be open for lunch on the weekdays and dinner on the weekends. Noodles are $9 a bowl and dumplings are $10 for 11 dumplings. This is pretty steep but I guess their the only business of their kind in the area and they are a food truck so the higher price is expected. I got the pork and chives dumplings and the zhajiang mian, or black bean sauce noodles. \n\nThe dumplings were good and the sauce it came with was great, I added a lot of black vinegar though lol, but it didn't seem to have a big difference from the store bought dumpling I get. The noodles were similar, I think they are egg noodles, and had some strips of cucumber and other veggies. This was definitely not black bean noodles lol the sauce was completely different. I don't know if they just got the sauce wrong or if they're passing off these as black bean noodles. \n\nWe got a to go order and they were kind enough to pack the food and sauces separately for us which was great. I would say by and far the sauces are the highlight of their dishes. It is traditional chinese hot chili oil with some garlic, ginger, and spring onions. This is definitely home made and fresh and tastes amazing! \n\nI'm not as sure about the actual food part, they are very similar to what I can get from stores but they were still very good in flavor. The prices are steep but I believe they have cheaper offerings during lunch. Definitely worth a try for some very authentic, for the area, chinese food. Holy Dumpling Batman!\n\nA few friends tried some options from the Dumpling Lady while it was parked behind the Company Store in NoDa. For being one of the smallest food trucks in Charlotte, the flavors are big and bold!\n\nI started out with the pork belly dumplings and they were delicious with wonderful flavors. I couldn\'t get enough of the coriander. But the problem was I wanted more! 10 dumplings just weren\'t enough so I went back for more. This time tried the chicken and crab dumplings as well as the beef noodles. I have to say both options were delicious but the beef noodles were my favorite. The spice level was spot on and exactly what I was looking for.\n\nThe staff is great here and they give you a pager so you don\'t have to hang around the food truck waiting for someone to call your name. \n\nBut one suggestion. I think the truck should be renamed to "The Fabulous Dumpling Lady". The dumpling lady consistently delivers! Honestly, I cannot remember having had better dumplings in the past few years.\n\nI used to be all about the shrimp & chicken but I have found a new favorite in the chicken & mushroom. They are something that I can find myself eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What sends them over the top is the homemade chili oil that coats them. I have even seen people drink that sauce directly from the pan!\n\nThe normal menu consists of multiple flavors of dumplings and noodles. For the lunch combo, you can combine one flavor of dumpling and one type of noodle for $12. Normally, one portion of dumplings go for $9. Just note the lunch combo portion of dumplings is reduced to six from the usual nine, however, the noodle portion remains the same.\n\nThanks to the ever-growing popularity of the dumpling lady, I see the truck popping up at more and more places. Most consistently, the truck can be found at Noda Company Store....and, thankfully, at my business park every other week! The most surprising fact I read about the actual Dumpling Lady is that she recently moved from China to Charlotte a little over three years ago.\n\nThe truck has Instagram, facebook, and twitter pages so you can keep up with the schedule and menu. Once you find this truck, you'll soon learn why there are so many fans! I finally caught up with the dumpling lady...and it was totally worth it! \n\nI ordered he spicy beef noodles and the shrimp and chicken dumplings. \n\nThe spicy beef noodles were awesome! They were definitely spicy. And the flavors in this dish were everything and more. The chicken and shrimp dumplings were very tasty too. I am looking forward to trying the other options too...because they all sound so delicious. \n\nIf you're lucky enough to catch this truck...I absolutely recommend giving them a try! Enjoyed The Dumpling Lady's dishes for the first time today and will absolutely be a frequent customer! We had the pork & chive, and the chicken & shrimp dumplings, they were awesome! We loved the sauce and fresh cilantro on top. What a great, unique spot! Best part is, we took some frozen dumplings home for another day! The service was fantastic and The dumpling lady even packed is extra sauce since we loved it so much! Can't wait to go back.\n\nFollow her @thedumplinglady to find where she is! Enjoy! |

It's possible their chef may be from Thai, but from our meeting last year, it was mostly spoken in Cantonese with him going back and forth to the kitchen lol. \n\nNothing memorable about the pad thai, though it was good value, recalled we weren't able to finish it.\n\nNice place though for meetings. Typical decor, not as slick or modern as to the newer ones out there. The cashier/hosting station on the left when you walk in is as nice as it gets. Actually a bit run down. \n\nBut friendly service. \n\nLots parking in this big plaza. I'm gonna give it to you straight, fellow yelpers: if you're looking for incredible authentic Thai food, this isn't the place for you. However, if you're looking for affordable dishes within a larger than life menu, then this is totally the place for you. \n\nDon't come here if you're absolutely starved as service can be slow at times (even with only two tables other than mine during my last visit)\n\nGood food for the price, but that's about it. Me and my wife's first visit to this place. Ordered calamari which was just perfect with the sauce. The Thai Chlli Fish along with the mixed veg fried rice was good with not too much of spice. My wife ordered the coconut rice for desert and loved it with the pieces of mango in it. The ambience is decent with no extras and the staff especially (the lady serving) very courteous and accommodative. Very happy with the price too. Craving for some Thai . . . Although not the most authentic but not bad . . . as there are no others in the area. The good: pad thai, green curry and the satays. The poor: $8.00 for a small bowl of kung yum gong! The food is always hot and service is usually quite quick. Since the weather is still too cold for any fun time outdoor activities (DAMN YOU GROUNDHOG) my friends and I got together for a dinner and game night in Mississauga. So I looked to the locals for some advice of where shall we eat and Jing Thai was suggested as a great inexpensive place for Chinese and Thai food. So all 5 of us stuffed ourselves into a Ford Fusion and drove to Streetsville. Now don't get me wrong, I had visions of a sterile small dingy room with fold up tables and chairs and was pleasantly surprised at the cozy dining room with nice wooden high backed chairs and linen tablecloths and napkins. First impressions were nice. The menu was huge! We each ordered a dish to share Family Style. Our picks were Chicken Pad Thai (was okay), Ginger Beef (flavorful), Beef with Broccoli (kind nondescript), Chicken Lemon Soo Guy (crispy and delicious sause), Chili Chicken (perfect amount of heat for us wimps), and Sticky Coconut Thai Rice (yum) With drinks it all came to about $15 bucks each. A lot cheaper than an All you can eat place and we were all sufficiently stuffed. So not a bad place for those on a budget looking for a decent meal. |

The burger was just ok. Thick patty but dry as hell and not nearly big enough to handle the size of the bun. Flavor was fine with the Barrel Sauce, onions and pickles.\n\nThe fries though.... OMG! Five stars and beyond. Crispy on the outside, creamy potato goodness on the inside. Cannot recommend highly enough. BUT... Make sure you get them hot out of the fryer. As I sat at the bar waiting on my burger, I saw the cooks pick up some old ones out of the bowl they toss them in with salt/pepper, comment on how these were limp and not good but still put them in the basket next to the burger ordered by another customer.\n\nI'll likely go elsewhere for a burger fix but will be hard pressed not to pick up an order of fries to eat in the car on the way home after a grocery shopping trip! Amazing! Huge portions and fresh!! I got the turkey burger and most turkey burgers are on the drier side! This was so good! And huge. I got no bun and they loaded it up with toppings. Sweet potato tots are enough to share for 2 people. It's $9 dollars for either bison/turkey/beef or a non-meat alternative! Can't beat it. Best burger locally \n\nAlso! Plenty o' Beer on draft! I love the concept of this place. Good, real food at an affordable price. As often as we visit Whole Foods, I never ventured to Barrel Burgers but my son kept asking and I am that mother that often gives in. \n\nI was excited to see that they had an option for Gluten Free buns so I opted to have a burger myself. I was going to order a regular burger for my son but she said the kid burger and their regular burgers are the same size so no need for us to spend a little more money.\n\nOur burgers were not as dry as other reviews mentioned but they could have been cooked a little less. I would ask the next time I was there if they can cook to a preferred temperature. But we did enjoy the burger itself. It was pretty flavorful and for the price of $5/$6 for a grass fed burger with fries or tots - I am not complaining at all. We opted for tots and fries and both were equally delish.\n\nJust know that whatever you order, the only thing that comes on is the items listed on the menu description. So if you want mayo, mustard or anything extra you will have to ask.\n\nThe burgers were small, I wasn't sure if it was because our burgers were on a GF bun or what but still mighty in taste. 3.5 stars overall. Food is excellent and most of the time the service is as well. My boyfriend and I love coming here because it's great quality burgers, locally supplied, and has the option for a gluten free meal which is amazing for my boyfriend who has a gluten allergy. But every time we have come in the past few months, there have been no gluten free buns available, and most of the time we're there the milkshake machine is broken or sweet potato fries are out. For a place that markets itself for their gluten free options and traditional American meals, it's very disappointing to show up hoping for the amazing fries and burgers and he told things aren't there or they're broken. I know that sometimes supplies run out, but come on, every time we've been there the past few months, the gluten free buns are out and we have to, unfortunately, take our business elsewhere. Food is awesome, but get the supply orders in check please! We miss eating here! My burger was very good, fries were great. A little pricey and very slow is why I am giving three stars. Garbage cans outside were overflowing and needed to be changed.\n\nThe Kids meal for five bucks was a deal and my little guy liked his burger. |

The open sign is either on by mistake and they are closed during prime time or they revert to drive thru only and by the time one has parked it's too late to turn around and go to the drive thru as MacLeod is a one way. November Challenge - 26/30\n\nWhenever I go to Taco Time and I read their tray liners about how they did all their food research in the heart of Mexico and by hiking in the rainforest, all I can think is, "gurl, bye." \n\nStill, every now and then I get a craving for my favorite thing in the world: a burrito. And sometimes I\'m too lazy to make one at home, or I\'m at the mall so I can\'t head over to my go-to: Mucho Burrito.\n\nTaco Time fills this void with their pseudo-Mexi-can\'t food. When I look at it as simple fast food rather than authentic, I start to see it for what it is: a delicious wrap with fresh veggies, rice and refried beans. A quick filler-upper when I\'m marathon shopping. The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and have no problem veganizing the burritos and tacos for me (the flour and corn tortillas are vegan, according to the website). I also like their sweet potato "mexi fries" that I\'m sure were imported straight from the heart of Oaxaca. I see Taco Time as Taco Bell with a power-up. And while their hottest hot sauce wouldn\'t make me sweat, they\'re still pretty decent to dip the tater tots... er... mexi fries in.\n\nBonus star because vegan options that aren\'t a green salad with no dressing for $14, are pretty tricky to come by at the food court. Hi-five, Taco Time :). I'm a Taco Time fan, always have been since I worked there when I was 16 in St.Albert. It's the one restaurant that i worked at that I actually ate at ever again, and one of the reasons was that they have decent quality food and they prep it fresh each day. I also *loathe* Taco Bell.\n\nThis is the closest location to my office, so it's the one I usually hit up. 9 out of 10 times it's the same guy and girl working it and they're always very nice, and run a pretty efficient operation. It's also good value for what you get I think.\n\nTaco Tuesdays's features 99 cent tacos all day. I'm a big fan of the Taco salads and the burritos, and of course the Mexi-fries are awesome with some good hot sauce.\n\nThis location has a drive-thru too. Love taco time especially the burritos but found at least market mall outlet changed the guacamole to a squeeze bottle and contents thin not thick like guac should be same with sour cream and I loved both on all me mex food. Its best to go to a sit down restaurant for better quality and more variety. Taco time used to be a favorite but there cinnamon sugar flakes desert chips are the best! This place certainly isnt closed. I was there last night. This place is the best. Yeah I know its fast food "Mexican" place but thenfood always tastes freah and the staff are the friendliest around. Calgary is a city known for bad service this place is a standout out exception. Such nice people. Cheap and friendly. Oh yeah tasty. |

It is large inside and remodeled since I last frequented this location (1990's). Gone is the smoking section and they have a bar-height counter, near the waiting area, that has a large screen TV. It also has a drive thru.\n\nThey get a lot of business during breakfast, but it moves fast so I haven't experienced long waits.\n\nThe food is on par with what you expect, which is good.\n\nIt's 11am but feels like noon since daylight savings just ended. I'm still getting breakfast but my companion is getting lunch. Might be an odd combination of smells! I've been going to ENP for over 50 years. Great selection of food for all ages. Waitresses are very friendly and accommodating. Prices have increased more then we'd like but we still try to go a couple times a month. This Eat'n Park has great food and is my local Eat'n Park. The Original Smiley Stuff (t-shirts, mugs) area does not have any t-shirts. Pizza at this Eat'n Park is good. This is the best Eat'n Park I've been at! This Eat'n Park is bigger than my local one at South Hills Village and my other local one on Route 88 [Library Road]. I like to have Stuffed Crust Pizza with a side of cantaloupe. I used to have grilled cheese with a side of cantaloupe. I rarely get surveys here. The place is awesome! Have been coming to this eatn park my whole life and it is always a good experience. They remodeled the restaurant in the past couple of years to make it more modern looking. The addition of the drive through was also a nice touch. Whether you are here for breakfast or a late night meal, the service is usually fast and the prices reasonable.\n\nEatn park's food is very good for the price you will pay. They have some great appetizers like mozzarella sticks, Mac and cheese bites, and fried pickles. Their Buffalo sauce is some of the best I have ever had. Both the Buffalo chicken tenders or wrap are sooo good. They also have what I would say is the best ranch in Pittsburgh. The super burger is also another great option that you can't go wrong with. |

I desperately looked at yelp for any Chinese take-out around the areas and came across New Hong Kong. The menu looked decent and decided to order the Chicken Balls, Chicken Fried Rice and Beef with Ginger and Green Onion. The girl taking my order over the phone was nice and took my order stating that it would be about 45 minutes. The food was delivered in about 30 minutes and was piping hot.\n\nOn to the food review. The Chicken Balls were fluffy and crispy with the chicken tender (they did not skimp on the chicken inside). The Chicken Fried Rice was good and piping hot. I really liked the Beef with Ginger and Green Onion as it had a lot of beef and the sauce was tasty as heck. The fried rice and the Beef with Ginger and Green Onion was a good combo. \n\nI will definitely order from New Hong Kong again. We have had take out from here 3 or 4 times and it is good and they do not skimp on meat or quality, but occasionally it has been a bit cold, which seems odd since I am sitting there waiting to take it home.\n\nIt is currently rated the number one restaurant in Whitby on Restaurantica which shows me more people need to do reviews in Whitby..LOL Delivery took 45 mins, as quoted & was a fairly average meal:\n\nOrange chicken - ok, so it had a pleasant, gentle orange flavour but it was nothing I'd expect of orange chicken! Mild, no breading and not spicy or zingy at all - why is it in the 'Hot and Spicy' section of the menu? My partner was feenin' for this and I felt his sorrow.\n\nChicken in black bean sauce - yes, tasty but quite salty, and both of these dishes could use some thickening of their sauces. \n \nVeg lo mein - nice portion. Noodles are of the thin variety. Chicken fried rice - good texture but slightly lacking in flavour. The diced chicken in all of the dishes made them seem a bit samey and a little boring. Love this place they have great food, always fresh and good prices for the family combos and they let you substitute which most Chinese places don't let you. The meat is not chewy either like I find most places are. Big size portions and they put a lot of meat instead of all vegetables, like most places who only put a few pieces of meat. I would definitely recommend this place and this comes from a picky eater. Amazing! Everything tastes delicious and portions were huge! This place has amazing quality, does not skimp on MEAT either. This is coming from someone from Toronto whom has HUGE options of chinese food downtown..... Lucky to have been passing by Whitby to Oshawa (to get my G license) and decided on some chinese food... Found one of the best spots. If I lived closer I would definitely eat here every day. |

Half price appetizers, yes please!\n\n Dave is the best server - ask for him!\n\nLove all the half price appetizers, got them all, they were all wonderful. \n\nOnly minus was that we sat in a corner area and that part was pretty cool so food (and me) got cold quick. Not a big deal. \n\nOverall, if you can wait till 10pm on a Saturday or whenever they have the deal - go for it! They make it obvious they do not like large groups of people. Not a place for the masses. Customer service is very selective and takes then a while to get the job done. Slowly phasing applebees out of my rotation of places to eat with friends. \n\nThe food here was pretty average but the poor customer service was enough to keep you away. I still ended up tipping 20%. Only coming here if nowhere else in town is open and my friends want food. I\'m being super super super nice by giving this particular applebees an average "A-OK" rating. \nWhen you come visit this restaurant, your experience will be very hit-or-miss. \nFrom what I\'ve come to learn and see, when you visit when it\'s mildly busy to super busy, the service is HORRIBLE. You get constant neglect and it takes the waitresses an average time of around 15 minutes for them to come back and check on you to see if you need any refills or would like your check. \nIt really just depends because on the other hand I\'ve had a small few visits here where certain waitress\'s were fantastic and very attentive. \nThe food is always usually pretty great no real complaints there.\nThis Apple bee\'s just really needs to work on evaluating certain employees because for the most part, they suck here I won\'t even sugarcoat it. This is second time there within 6 weeks. Booth times young hostess said 20 minute wait. Today there were 10 empty tables. I asked the hostess why will all the empty tables did we have to wait. She said we just got a place party and the kitchen is backed up. That is SAME excuse we heard last time, this is same hostess we had last. I said to her so we get excuses. Why could she not at least seat people instead of the door being blocked. I called the manager after we walked out. She said she would take to the girl, I informed her this happened the last time we were there. We will Not go back again. |

The restaurant is styled in the cozy, simplistic farmhouse style that is quite common these days and located right downtown in charming McAdenville. I was a little worried about parking since it's such a small downtown area, but it wasn't an issue at the time when I arrived and I snagged a spot right in front of the restaurant!\n\nUp front is a small market area with some coolers containing primarily local cold products ranging from pimento cheese & some take home meals to glass bottled Sundrop & Cheerwine to some craft beer 6-packs. There are also a few shelves of other non-refrigerated products like cheese straws, Lusty Monk mustard (YUM!), snacks, and wines. A deli/butcher section is there, too, which boasts items ranging from sandwich meats to larger cuts of meat and seafood products that you can either purchase to prepare at home or can have prepared in the restaurant. The set-up is rather similar to what String Bean does in Belmont, but on a somewhat smaller scale.\n\nThe four of us met at 5:30 and were immediately seated. There were only a 2-3 other tables of folks there at that point. We each ordered a glass of wine or cocktail from the bar. I had a delicious Cab Sav that was generously poured for $9. I ordered salmon with sides of mac & cheese and asparagus. Two of the ladies ordered salmon patties that were out of the market rather than ordering from the menu with tater tots, asparagus, & corn on the cob. The fourth member of our party ordered the Italian sandwich. By the time our food arrived, nearly every table in the restaurant was filled!\n\nEveryone seemed to be quite pleased with their meals, which arrived promptly and were all prepared just as we had ordered. Everything was quite good and portions were more than fair, but the mac and cheese was a little bland for my taste (to be fair, though, I'm a super snob when it comes to mac & cheese!) We finished off our meal by each ordering one of the 4 dessert options--red velvet cake, cheesecake, Snickers cake, and carrot cake--and sharing them all! The slices were gigantic and delicious! My bill at the end was right at $40 for my wine, salmon (with an extra side as it only comes with one and I wanted two since they had such tempting side offerings!), and my slice of cheesecake. That's definitely more than I would normally spend on dinner for one, but it was pretty fair for what all I ordered.\n\nEveryone from the hostess to our (quite spunky & fun) waiter to the waitress who brought our food to the manager who stopped by our table was incredibly friendly & seemed quite dedicated to making sure our experience was enjoyable. We lingered at our table until nearly 8:00 since there didn't seem to be anyone waiting, and folks continued to stop by to check on us and were exceedingly friendly. Never once did I feel like we were being rushed out of the door (and we made sure to tip generously since we held the table for so long!) All in all, it was a pleasant dining experience from start to finish and I'll definitely be back! A great new place in McAdenville. Had the BLT with tater tots; friends had a burger and the apple/ham panini. Everything was excellent, delivered quickly, and the service was delightful. Our waitress Brittani offered some good advice for our first visit. We'll surely return! What a fabulous place to eat. I had the belt on sour dough. Slap your mama good. Prosecco on tap'. How can bad can that be! I saw the shrimp salad walk by and salivated.\n\nThe manager, owner and wait staff are extremely attentive and make you feel welcomed. Will eat my way through their menu. Stay tuned! Awesome main dishes! I've had the portabella sandwich and the oh my gosh burger and they were both great. Appetizers are not worth it though. Fried pickles cut too thick and cod poppers lacked flavor. Great atmosphere and beer selection too though! We have not purchased anything from the deli yet but hope to soon. A very nice place with some other than usual points. Had lunch there which consisted of a burger and sweet potato fries. Fries could have been hotter but it was a very good lunch. Expecting a parking problem due to the location but didn't have any problem. Very worth a visit. |

Waiter was rude and arrogant. Noise level extremely loud on a Tuesday! Won't go back. Rude, sloppy, and lazy customer service. Specifically the incident that inspired me to give my rating today (believe me, if I could give 0 starts - I would)...I have been here several times and always ordered the same thing. Twice I was told the change I requested to my food was possible and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The third time I came as a paying customer to their restaurant, I was given a dirty look by my waiter, but my food was served to me as I had asked. Following this experience I attempted to try to dish as the restaurant originally prepares it and I was absolutely disgusted. Upon my final attempt to order the dish as I preferred, I was told they will no longer make the dish this way for me. In return, I will no longer be recommending this restaurant to people, and the 3 people who thought to possibly return here after I brought them, will also be informed of this disservice. I have now been informed by someone, likely an employee, that their food is also laden with semen. Definitely a must-try in Phoenix for New Mexican food with some unique twists. The atmosphere is cool, but the staff can be hit-or-miss depending on who you get as your server or bartender. Regardless, check it out for yourself for savory food and an authentic feel. My favorite place in the neighborhood! Be chill when you come here. You can get some food quick but the personality and character of this place is found by taking your time. The food is amazing and cooked with heart over an open flame. Get your sauces Christmas. Always the Duck relleno. The seabass never disappoints. Stafg: Rick, Lauren, Robert, Will always be great for you. Enjoy our neighborhood gem. To all the no talent asshats posting poor reviews about our local favorite, go to taco $mell. Its more in line with your writing skills and taste. We went there last Sun for brunch. \nI'm impressed with the atmosphere most.\nLove their unique fun kind of foods. \nI didn't remember what we ordered but there were \nshrimp sandwich, grilled spicy pork, and crab omelet.\nIt won't take long to get the food here and they all are delicious!\nWorth stopping by :) |

I am from NY and I have ate at Native New Yorker, and there food tastes nothing like NYC food at all. If your looking for real NY food usually the Mom & Pop Italian Restaurants are the best. awesome wings, best ive had since coming to arizona. not a big fan of the asiago parmesan or the oriental garlic but the honey hot and strawberry hot are great We went here for lunch one day and after hearing so many good things, I was shocked that I didn\'t have a great experience. We walked in and there was no one at the hostess station, but there was (someone who appeared to be) a manager playing with one of the televisions who chose not to greet us. So, we waited for a few minutes before someone showed us to a table, where we waited another 5-10 minutes before we were greeted by our waiter (who, to his credit, was swamped with tables). I can understand being busy, but the fact that there were two "managers" walking around, and not helping customers was what bugged me. \n\nWe didn\'t try the wings, but I had a meatball sandwich, which was pretty good, but not good enough to entice me back for a second trip. Ooooor, maybe the NewYorkers sensed that we were both from CHI-TOWN and chose not to take care of us :) haha I haven't been here in years until today. And with minimal shame, I actually went there twice. The Happy Hour is from 11am - 7pm. That is amazing. I like to refer to it as a 'Happy Day' special.\n\nBoth times I went, I got the chicken strips which are on the happy hour menu. Great both times. $2.50 draft pints. I only have one complaint.\n\nI'm not sure if they change it at night, but the volume was muted on all of the televisions and the radio was playing instead. If I'm at a sports bar, I'd rather not listen to 99.9 FM, but instead hear SportsCenter. We frequent this place because we can walk there. The servers always remember my kids, this place is kid friendly. They remember us too when we leave the kids home and go to the bar (I know, parent of the year). The wings are good, my kids love the mozzarella sticks and pizza. They have karaoke some nights. They have a magic guy some nights. It's They have TV's for the sports. Good enough for me. I can always find Brenden there! Hey Brenden, your wife is lookin' for ya. |
