The chicken was juicy and well-cooked. I don't think this place deserves those bad reviews, but check it out for yourself! A little pricey but fresh with a big "open" kitchen. Trying vegan for a while, so ordered falafel balls ala carte and to-go. About 1.00 each and the fresh baked? aroma tantalized everyone around the package on the lightrail. Also ordered hummus which was creamy and flavorful. Inside of falafel balls were just a little bit dry but still good and rehydrated well when dipped in hummus! The kabobs all looked scrumptous as well as the plates traveled by...Yes, I would come back! Fresh food, clean place, good prices, highly recommend. I always get the gyro and love that the meat isn't greasy! The grilled chicken kabobs are my favorite. Every day they make fresh baklava and other desserts. The side salad is tossed in a homemade garlic lemon dressing served with cucumbers and tomatoes. Healthy and yummy. Family owned. Owners are originally from Turkey so the food is very authentic. I have visited Turkey several times and actually prefer the Inskender here to the ones I had in Turkey. As someone else mentioned - this is not on the menu but really worth ordering. Takes time to prepare because there are lots of steps to the dish. Toasted pita bread, then doner, then tomato sauce, then yogurt and finally garlic butter poured over the top. OMG. So good. \n\nHummus, veggie options, falafels, fruit smoothies, etc. Lentil soup is made from scratch and hits the spot. \n\nEverything is made fresh to order. Love that there is a locally owned healthy eatery near ASU! Best Turkish place in town. There food is amazing and the owners are very friendly and warm people. The food is a little bit pricey for an everyday lunch however they get 5 stars for serving Efes Pilsner & consistently being tasty. Can't go wrong with any of their plates! |

Recently the delivery takes forever some times more than an hour, and pizza arrives cold , and on the top of that recently the add a lot a lot of pizza red sauce, they add triple times of usual i have no idea why. Overall experience is unsatisfactory. We have been waiting over an hour for our food. I called and the poor gentleman is running the location solo. This happened last weekend around this time too. Devon and Carson are very customer service oriented at this location. Mark seemed overwhelmed, who can blame him?!?! I just ordered from here and they gave me the wrong order and the lady who i spoke to on the phone about it does not have any manners and hung up on me after being extremely rude. They need to learn customer service. I will never order from here again. EVER! fast and tasty...............delivery driver Bryce was a sweet heart! I just decided to order a pizza and change up the sauce to something different that I've never had before. I thought maybe it was just me but my friend didn't like it either. I've never done this before and I didn't want pizza to go to waste but I called up the pizza place and ask him if they would replace my pizza with a regular sauce.They did and I appreciate that so much. Because they did I'll probably order from them again soon. Thank you for your great customer service. Oh and the delivery guy was kind, that's always a bonus. Thank you Domino's!\n\nThe moral of the story is it they replaced the pizza with something that I like. Not everyone has the same taste buds I'm sure plenty of others like the other one so I'm not going to say what it is. |

I stopped in here on my only night in Scottsdale, and it was a two minute walk from my hotel which made it extra appealing. Right from when I walked in, the friendly staff greeted me and I knew this was going to be a good place. Their beer selections are incredible, and I choose a cider beer on tap (my all-time favorite tap choice). When I went to order food, I went with the burrata (less the sauce) and was super impressed. Everything was top-notch and this place will do well. Love this great out of the way wine and beer spot. Great wine list and my husband loves their beer choices. The staff is always super friendly and the size of the place is really comfortable and keeps it from getting "clubby" which is exactly what I DON\'T want. They have a dog friendly patio for our four legged besties! They have vegan friendly options as well and the food is always great Love this new wine bar. Tons of awesome wines by the class including Prisoner! They have $2 off during happy hour and there's a yelp deal for 50% with a check in. Come check it out before everyone finds out about this gem! Great hospitality. Fantastic selection of local craft beer and delicious wine. And a really cool atmosphere. \n\nWe tried an IPA sampler tray and some . Then ordered the meaty and cheese combo tray. Both our food and drinks were tasty.\n\nBut the best part about this place was the service. They were helpful in making selections and also willing to discuss options for our next stop on our date night. This place rocks! This is my second time at Vines & Hops, and both times were great experiences! They have like more than 70 wines by the glass, and are a little family owned place. They allowed me to try a couple of ros\xc3\xa9s before I decided on a bottle, which was awesome and very helpful. I also got the hummus plate, which was so fresh and so yummy! Thank you Vines & Hops for being such a fun place to come and enjoy some yummy wine and beer and fun little plates! |

Gluten free noodles. Available cauliflower rice, but no brown rice. Serves even late. Comfortable seating, fast service. 3 spring rolls to an order. Clean and courteous. Yum! I give it a 5 for mall fast food. First off, they serve cauliflower rice!\nI was pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes and the flavour and ofcourse the low carb-friendly and guten-free substitutions!\nI tried the Penang curry with shrimp and the bangkok basil stir fry (both with cauli rice) and they were both incredibly flavourful and delicious. Yes these guys actually made cauliflower delicious :)\n\nThe menu is nice and simple, you pick either a noodle or rice dish and the type of meat you want with it and everything costs $10 which is just awesome. They unfortunately did get my order wrong but were more than happy to correct that when I pointed it out to them and apologized. Their service is quick and the staff is very friendly and happy to explain the menu to you. \n\nThis is now my place to go at Crossiron mills! Very disappointed with both our dishes. My husband ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken and I ordered the pad thai with tofu. The pineapple fried rice had so much basil in it, it completely over powered the pineapple flavor. It was way too much basil that my husband had to force himself to finish it so as to not waste the food. My pad thai was so sweet! I guess being a fast food set up should of been a clue that I shouldn't of expected much. I love this place.\nI don't care that everything is $10.00\nYou get a perfect potion of delicious Thai food.\nToday I had Red Curry with chicken. You can taste the grilled chicken. So very good.\nI also got an order of Siam spring rolls. 3 for $4.00 no grease. You can see and taste the ingredients.\n\nThis is how food should be.\n\nIf you haven't been here. Stop what you're making for dinner and go for a tasty morsel. If you enjoy happiness and good food with amazing staff. The food was amazing and the staff and owner checked in on us and made sure the food quality was up to par. It is amazing to be treated with so much respect. Food was fresh tasty and the fact that they are packed should be a sign that they are good! Thanks for taking care of us and making us feel like family.\nSo many options including the vegetarian, meat and great snacks and appetizers. We came here for a light snack and had to stay for dinner because it was on point! |

Had a taste for pizza tonight and decided to order. BEST decision EVERRR!!!! The pizza was great. I like that it wasn't very heavy in my stomach if that makes sense (lol). I was also able to try some wings. I decided to order golden medium bone in and they were just as amazing. There was just one minor issue I had, the pizza slices could have been cut better but that is such a minor detail, it didn't affect the taste or quality. The staff was great, everyone was friendly. I was able to be helped promptly. I have found my new go to place for pizza. I can't wait to try other menu items and even dessert next time Pretty excited to see another NY Pizza place that can deliver to my house. I\'d seen them in Tempe and was hankering for some pie. Especially after drinking a few cold ones on a Friday night.\n\nOrdered a 16" Supreme and had it delivered to the house. This is one of my standards in reviewing pizza. You get your meat and veggies at the same time and they are all piled up on a nice big slice.\n\nPhoned in our order with great ease. They were very friendly and helpful and let me use my most excellent coupon. Coupons are a great way to get you in the zone and expedite trying out a new place.\n\nPizza arrived within the time frame that they suggested. It may have even arrived a little bit earlier than what we were expecting. Nice!\n\nThe pizza definitely looked better than it tasted. The veggies were sliced very thin and it almost seemed like they could have been prepped for sandwich toppings. The meat toppings were also very thin and did not really pop out and say howdy.\n\nOverall the food did not have much flavor and the sauce was pretty bland as well. We both could not figure out what it was missing. I\'m sure it is a basic ingredient in most kitchens?\n\nI know they are new and just opened recently. Give them a try and see what you think. Not the best pizza ever and probably not the worst either. DING DONG!\n\n2.75 STARS Tonight was my second order from Venezia's. My first order was for a simple cheese and pepperoni pizza. It was delicious, no complaints. Unfortunately same can't be said for this order. I ordered philly cheese steak hero, fries, half order wings, and a pepperoni and green pepper pizza. It took an hour and twenty minutes for it to be delivered, not a huge deal. But this time the food was barely room temperature. The fries tasted stale already, even my dog didn't want to eat them, the pizza tasted a day old and the philly cheese steak barely had any warmth to it, was more a cold cheese steak. \nI had high hopes after my first experience and was hoping Venezia's would be my go to, but I don't know if I'll even order from here again. This is by far the best pizza joint in town! A few years ago when we got moved to this part of town I had ordered from Venezias and loved their pizza! They know how to cook it.\n\nBesides the good quality of food they have amazing customer service! The second time I ever ordered from them they forgot my order and it arrived 30\nMins late. Not before I received a phone call explaining what was going on, then they comped my meal and gave me a credit to order again! I wasn\'t even upset! \n\nNow 3 years later and we order from them again tonight and this week I had lost my debit card and ordered a new one that is coming in the mail. I used my stored card to place an order online. Everything went through and I didn\'t give it two thoughts. When we got there to pick it up, they said the card didn\'t go through. \n\nThe guy working tonight said "just pay it forward" and he covered it! I\'ll certainly be back in to take care of these guys this week. But it\'s great to know that we still have great people running great businesses in town!\n\nKeep it up and have appreciated the business for years! Can you say "Best Italian Beef Ever"? Seriously, I love the Pizza and Pasta here but tried the Italian Beef for the first time and WOW, it was fantastic. I choose Provolone as my cheese but they have Mozzarella available also. The Au Jus puts this sandwich over the top. Spicy, Tasty and filling. Make the trip, it\'s worth it. |

Waited at the counter for a couple of minutes. We could hear some commotion in the background, suspecting prep work. We called out to let someone know that customers had come in and no one responded. I guess that the vents and other kitchen noise was too loud. However, after another couple of minutes, a guy came to the front and put something in the fridge. He acknowledged us and said hi and then walked away to the back. We decided to give it another couple of minutes and a girl came to the front and put something in the fridge. She looked at us and said nothing, walked away. We stood there in shock for a minute (yes, we timed) and just called out that we were leaving (maybe some naive faith that someone was really going to try to serve us). Will definitely NOT be returning to this place. No customer service and they have lost potential customers forever. This review is really for the churros only, which are very tasty. The place is very small though, and I'm guessing it is a bit better if there are seats outside when it is warm out. So we waited outside while our churros were made fresh.\n\nWill definitely return for empanadas, but great to stop for dessert! I've been to this location before because of it's empanadas and liked it but recently I visited and the love was not there. Unfortunately the beef empanada flavour is not their anymore anf the seafood empanadas were very dry compared to the ones I had before. Also asked for half a dozen of them and paid almost $25.00 for six tiny empanadas, not a good value for the buck. Regularly oven made Beef empanadas are not this small. You would expect at least something dicent for $3.75 plus tax. I don't think I will visit again, so said. I'm hooked....! Great flavours, great variety! Love the lobster empanada...and the short rib, smoked chorizo, and queso fresco minis are amazing....all 3 sauces too! \n\nGo.\nTry them.\nYou will be back. Just finished trying my first sampling of their empanadas. I had the braised beef short rib, seafood, chicken and their curry coconut chicken empanada along with their avocado fries. \n\nIt was defiantly a hit and a miss. Like other yelpers, I was stoked to try this place out and it met my expectations. The braised beef short rib was bomb! Super moist and just falls apart. I will most definitely be coming back to purchase more of these.\n\nThe seafood on the other hand was a disappointment. For the price, I obviously wasn\'t expecting anything too extravagant but it tasted awfully like instant noodles that have those pink imitation crab pieces. You know... the little florescent pink flowers floating in your noodles. Correct me if Im wrong but I thought I actually saw one in there. It wasn\'t dreadful but wasn\'t my cup of tea. \n\nThe chicken and curry coconut chicken was also very delightful and a must try!\nThe avocado fries were delicious but a little bit too salty for me. It had a little kick to it as well, that just sneaks up on you! \n\nAll in all, it was a very delightful experience. They had a hilarious slogan: "Put them in your mouth", and I really do encourage you all to put them in your mouths because you\'ll keep going back for more! |

I am not sure that Pegasus is the one but it might be worth another visit.\n\nOur party of 4 started out with an appetizer platter consisting of tyropita, spanakopita, calamari, feta, hummus, tzatziki and pita. Everything was excellent except the calamari which was underdone and the pita which was fried and therefore greasy.\n\nI was the only person to not order a lamb dish and went for the chicken souvlaki. The accompanying Greek salad was outstanding but my souvlaki and lemon-roasted potatoes appeared fried like the pita we had earlier and was slightly greasy as well. As a rule I am not a huge fan of fried foods so this was a major turn-off. \n\nMy dining partners loved their lamb so I guess the key for future visits is to avoid the souvlaki. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was quite good and the food came out of the kitchen hot and in a timely manner. Consistently excellent meals. The staff really know what they\'re doing as well. The pita is in-house made, and very addictive! The dolmathes are something else, and the calamari is said to be the best in Calgary. My favourite dish is the "Moskari or Arni Giouvetsi" (get the lamb one!) For desert, the baklava is perfect (not too sweet). Ol Peggie Sues is opened again in Altadore. The new location seems a bit strange if you compare it to the old location on 14 st, Its in one of those neighborhood strip malls where you'd usually find a convinience store that rents VHS copies of steven segal movies. \nI arrived at 10pm after the kitchen closed and the owner still welcomed us in and opened the kitchen which is a great gesture. The place was still packed.\nI ordered 3 appetizers and an entree. Lamb shoulder was my main and it was a tasty lil fixin. I feel rushed right now with my review but would completely suggest this to anybody looking for some good greek food.\n\n5 Drunken Anthony Quinn's out of 5 Pegasus is a Greek Restaurant that had a booth, once again at "Taste of Calgary" this year as they do most every year. \nThis year at "Taste of Calgary" they served: \n- Homemade Yogurt with Honey and Walnuts \n- Lemon Oven Roasted Potatoes with Tzatziki\n- Spanakopita with Tzatziki\n- Keftedes (Beef) Meatball Slider with Tzatziki\n- Roast Leg of Lamb Slider with Tzatziki\n\nIt is obvious they are a greek place with the tzatiki that they serve with everything but tzatziki is amazing. However, I noticed on their menu that they are not very accommodating to food allergies. They have many items that are vegetarian being the: homemade yogurt with honey and walnuts, lemon oven roasted potatoes with tzatziki and spanakopita with tzatziki. However, they have no items that are gluten free or dairy free. I bet dairy free would e very hard for them with the tzatziki but maybe you could ask for your meal without the tzatziki. Why oh why is your food never hot? \nI stopped going a couple years ago for that reason. Went back Saturday to give them another shot....food lukewarm. Fool me once. |

Bartender Sarah is always serving up some delicious drinks. Today's summer elixer is a Watermelon, Cucumber Martini, great for the summer heat. Service can be very slow (even when it is dead) at times so be prepared for that. What a great place. Food delicious, atmosphere elegant and our server Erick was amazing. It was so busy and he took such good care of us. We will be making this our date night location. Amazing new restaurant in downtown Chandler... a must stop ...Brent is a first class chef and ask for Tyler our super star waiter!!!! One my recent trip to Chandler I actually ended up at this spot twice! The first evening we enjoyed the lamb appetizer to start things off, which was fantastic! My entree was the burger, which was nothing special and came with very skinny curly fries, however they weren't very crispy. My friend ordered the fried chicken, unfortunately they were out of that (I've heard it's amazing) and he ordered a salmon entree instead. This was very yummy! The next night we came back with other friends, this time opting to sit at the bar. It was Cinco de Mayo and there were plenty of drink specials! The bar tenders were all very friendly and attentive as well. I would definitely return, probably just for drinks and appetizers next time I'm in Arizona. Awesome food and great service! We had the pork belly lollipops, the vegetarian pozole, osso bucco and grain salad with steak. It was all so good, beautifully prepared and at great prices. I would highly recommend for a night out. Great addition to downtown chandler. The bartender was attentive, Chef Anthony came out to ask how dinner was. We also met the owner who was very friendly and welcoming. |

I really like Kelly. Beer was ice cold. Bartender was nice. I really enjoy coming here. If you are looking for good deals and quick service, this is the place to go. Thank you Applebee's for providing a place close by for my family and friends to meet up and relax late night over the holidays! I love that you are open late during the week, have a late night happy hour, and above all, serve Christmas Ale! I think over Christmas break I came here 3 times in one week. \nThank you! I've been to three Applebee's, all of which are 40 minute drive from where I live and this is definitely one of my favorite Applebee's locations. The servers are very friendly and attentive, the food is delicious, orders are accurate and the coffee is fresh. My only complaint is how wide open the windows are, which can be a bit annoying during late afternoon in the summer. It would be nice is there were dimming blinds but overall this is a great restaurant and the only mid-price casual restaurant in this area of town. Like most Applebee's the menu doesn't change, but the atmosphere is good here. Clean, neat and always in order, I've never complained about the bathrooms here or table neatness. The staff has always been helpful and friendly. Love it here! My wife and I came here on Veteran's day because I'm a Veteran and they offered a free meal to Veterans. We've been here several times along with the one on Hudson Drive in Stow, and the one on Howe Road in Akron. Each time the food is good, and the wait staff is helpful and interested in making your meal a pleasant one. We prefer this Applebees over the other ones due to cleanliness and wait staff. Yes Applebee food is the same from place to place, but with today's prices for a decent meal, Applebees gives a good meal for a decent price. Will we return? DEFINATELY! |

I had the beef Torta sandwich with cheese, it was really filling and delicious. We had a great time, friendly waitresses, good food, cheap prices what's not to like. Sooo effing good. Awesome deals, especially the 4 for $5 tacos. They are out of this world. OK, OK, OK... I agree that a restaurant should receive 5 stars because it is hitting it out of the park on a multitude of factors: food presentation, the ambiance of the restaurant, the friendliness of the staff and, of course, the food. I am giving Mr. Azteca 5 stars because the tacos are so authentic and wonderful, who really cares about the other factors? Over the last several weeks, my husband and I have come here at least once a week with our girls for dinner. Not only are the tacos wonderful, the guacamole is marvelous, too! Our whole family eats here for less than $20 on Tuesdays' and/or Wednesdays' $1 taco nights. The service is really fast and very friendly and the restaurant is very kid-friendly. We are fans of the marinated beef and chorizo tacos. One caveat: the red salsa is unreasonably spicy. Therefore, we ask for only the ''salsa verde'' with our order; which I think you will find is still quite spicy.\n\nNow, we are making plans to come back one week-end morning for their breakfast/brunch specials.\n\nThank you, Mr. Azteca, for bringing some wonderfully-delicious and extremely reasonably-priced Mexican authenticity to Villeray!\n\nBy the way, Mr. Azteca was cash only, but as of today, the restaurant accepts Interact, too. C'est tres tres good. 4 tacos for $6, I had 2 marinated beef and 2 pork based on the super lovely waitresses recommendations. They were so juicy, so lovingly flavoured, so damn good. I slathered them with the green hot sauce which was definitely spicy but not like crying crazy hot and full of flavour. \n\nThe room is bright and clean with Aztec art and TVs playing Mexican music videos. There is a fridge with sodas including a whole collection of the Jarritos including the tamarind one I love. \n\nThe service throughout was so friendly and helpful and charming. You could definitely make more headway here if you spoke Spanish, but between English and French and Smiling everyone made themselves understood.\n\nCan't wait to go back, so good!! Tr\xc3\xa8s bonne cuisine mexicaine !\n-Burrito biftef servi avec riz et haricots noirs pour 8dollars : tout etait bon (un peu huileux mais super tasty).\n-Enchillada poulet pour 12dollars\n\nUn large choix pour des prix pas du tout excessif.

We ordered Chicken Pad Thai and roast duck with vegetables. The pad thai was not very good. The roast duck was decent, but when I ordered a side of rice it was over priced and the portion was very small. In fact, all of the portions were small and overpriced, including the VERY SMALL and expensive spring rolls. \n\nMy boyfriend ordered a coke and it was very expensive and did not get free refills. Would NOT return to this place again. Especially if i had to pay full price for it. Red Thai is on the St. Laurent corridor, filled with little, nice restaurants. \n\nRed Thai has a cozy, romantic decor, with purple velvet drapes inside Thai Palace carved alcoves separated by wood carvings of kneeling Thai statues with prayer beads, appearing to hold up the columns. The theatre track lighting with orange gels creates a nice mood, and the opposite side has a full wall smoked mirror to give the illusion of space. Nice Bamboo, Hawaiian Ginger and Orchids adorn the entry. \n\nThe tables are clothed and have little plastic, pink lotus flowers in a glass bowl, with mood candlelights on every table. Sultry Diana Krall sings alluring jazz numbers and fingers her keyboard over the stereo system. \n\nThe service is timely, polite and on point. The dishes themselves are elegant, in blue and white decorated porcelain, and shaped like a duck, a leaf, etc. \n\nThe food is great. Try the Plamur, which are two calamari body halves, grilled, and sprinkled with sesame seeds, and dipped in a Thai sweet/spicy sauce. Follow the Plamur with a Gai Kang Kiew, a green chili chicken curry, with spicey red pepper slices, but not overdone with coconut milk, well seasoned and cooked just right, over your white jasmine rice. They don't have Singha Thai beer, but they do have a good wine list and hard to find Hue Beer, from Central Vietnam, or Sapporo from Japan. \n\nBring your date here and have a romantic evening, with good food, good service, beautiful surroundings, and Dianna Krall to get you in the mood. We came in on a Saturday night. It was a little busy. The food was pricey, but pretty good. The decor was interesting, I felt like the place was a little dirty.\n\nThe pad thai is a must try. Instead of having the egg cooked into the noodles they made like a thin omlette of egg and wrapped the pad thai inside it. Different and delicious. The pad thai had special kick to it, still can't figure out what it is.\n\nAll the other dishes were okay. \n\nThe service was horrible!!! We waited for about 15 minutes after being seated until we even saw someone come by and acknowledge were there. Had to wait another 10 minutes for water. The rest of the night staggered too I guess.\n\nExpensive and I've had better Thai food else where = not worth of another trip. Tonight was my second visit to Red Thai. The first time we were a group of four, and all in all thought our meals were rather good. The first time I went, I had four course meal for around $30. It included a soup, which was very good, a papaya salad, which was okay, a lemon sorbet as a palate cleanser, and a beef curry. The flavour of the curry was quite good, but a few pieces of my beef had gristle. Overall, our table was pleased with the meal, with the exception of a few points. \n\nSo the second time, I came in with a groupon (cause that's how I roll ;) ) figuring we would give it another shot. \n\nMy friend and I ordered several dishes to share. The tom yum soup was really flavourful, with nice hints of lemongrass and cilantro, and quite a few mushrooms. The imperial rolls (meat filled), were quite good, though a bit greasy (which I guess is to be expected). The grilled calamari ($7) had nice flavour, and was quite spicy with a generous amount of black pepper. It was slightly tough. For the main meals, we tried the duck with kumquat sauce and the peanut butter shrimp with crispy spinach. We struggled to cut the duck ($ 20) which was very overdone around the edges, but okay in the centre. The sauce was flavourful, and was served with a few sauteed peppers and mushrooms. The peanut butter shrimp were well cooked, but lacked a bit of oomph. The soup, rolls, and shrimp were part of a table d'h\xc3\xb4te ($28), and rice is to be ordered separately. \n\n \nI really like the decor. Leopard print chairs, dark wood, dim purple and pink-ish lighting, and statues. The presentation is very nice, as is the serving-ware. The presentation of the dishes is great - everything is served on a variety of nice white and blue patterned dishes. It seems like more focus is placed on presentation and restaurant style than on the preparation of the food. The dishes fall short of the strong flavours you'd find in smaller, cozier Thai places. \n\nService was efficient and effective (dishes promptly removed, water constantly filled) but wasn't very warm. \n\nWhile the meal was okay, the quality/value ratio isn't there. Food and service were just ok. We left our camera on the table after the meal. One waitress told us she saw it and kept it inside, then the ones inside denied and took it. Have left stuff at many places before, hard to find such dishonesty in North America. |

Haven't tried them all. Could use some tables out front especially for days like today. The reviews vary greatly. I think the negative reviews have a lot to do with cheap people having unrealistic and unfair expectations. At this price point, you have to understand that little money is going into the overhead and general aesthetics. Thus, when evaluating the merit of this place, it is only fair if the focus of the reviews is on the food - not the decor or even the efficiency of their delivery (the fact they even have delivery is deserving of admiration). \n\nWhen it comes to food, this place excels. The menu is extensive. We tried several things and everything we had was delicious and the portions were generous. Highly affordable spot for fast and delicious Chinese food. When dining in, manage your expectations accordingly - you're paying little for awesome Chinese food. I love this place. My husband and I stumbled on it when driving by. We have been back several times. Honestly, I am usually disappointed by the Chinese food found in Vegas (*disclaimer, I have not explored China town: we live too far away to go on whim). This is BY FAR my favorite Chinese place on our side. I am in love with the Walnut Shrimp and my husband really likes their fried rice. The broccoli is never mushy, the ragoons actually have flavor, I have never been disappointed.\n\nThe tables are a bit cramped, but the service is always pleasant. They are very polite and attentive, and seem to know what I want before I do. =) I ordered the combo teriyaki bowl (chicken, shrimp), egg rolls, and the orange chicken. Everything was great! Now I have had better chinese food just not here in Nevada so far. So, this spot will definitely be an option for dinner night here and there. The staff was friendly, delivery was prompt and priced fairly. I've dined here several time now and have been very impressed. The food is prepared just the way I like it. For take out or dine in, this is my go to place. |

Would go again but not "wowed" enough with the food to give 5 stars. Very good service. Came in and caught the tail end of their happy hour, which meant a ramen and a PBR tall boy for $15.\n\nI ordered the Morris Ramen and was really satisfied with it. The broth was excellent, noodles were just the right chewiness, the egg yolk perfectly done, and the meat was deliciously tender. \n\nIt's easy to walk right past this place on King Street as they don't have really big signage but make sure you dont miss it! In my opinion, Morris has the lead for best ramen in Madison. Not a place for Asian people who knows what Japanese ramen taste is like.\n\nOne of the worst ramen ever in my life.... One of the best ramen places in town. One of those hole-in-the-wall kind of places you stumble into on a weekday when you're hungry and no other place you know is open. Got the squash and the chicken buns and was very satisfied with them. Also tried the brussel sprouts and my only complaint is that it was too small a portion for such good food. I\'ve heard about this place since it opened in 2016. So I finally made a trip on a Wednesday evening.\n\nPeople, this ramen is fine, absolutely adequate and acceptable to pay cash money for, but please don\'t mistake this for amazing ramen. \n\nMany of us have gotten through a time in our lives by surviving on Maruchan Ramen, or maybe even Ichiban, if you were feeling especially fancy. So that\'s the benchmark for me. If your ramen is not even as good as my old college staple, we got problems. I would say Morris is barely clearing the bar.\n\nI tried the vegetable miso and the Morris. The Morris was fine, about what you would expect, needed more flavor, but had a nice mouthfeel to the broth. I would steer you away from the vegetable miso altogether, the broth generally lacked flavor and vegetable accoutrements had unpleasant textures that did not make for a good eating experience.\n\nThere are some other issues:\n1. I do not want to sit on a box. A box in place of a chair does not make your space "modern" it makes for an uncomfortable sitting situation.\n2. Add english in parentheticals to your menu. I love add-ins to my ramen, but if I have to keep asking what Moyashi is, I\'m just going to give up. I like that they include the phonetic spelling of the Japanese names, but I also need to know what it is without Google Translate.\n3. Keep my water glass full and don\'t leave in the middle of me asking questions! This is just part of being comfortable at a restaurant. |

Has some hangers for your coats, a beautiful stage and nice decor overall. \n\nThe food was great as well, altho there are more authentic and slightly better places, this is still not a bad option to try. \n\nNow, if you want a salad, a half salad is more than enough as a "full" salad for one person. The real full salad comes in a giant bowl which is probably 3 times larger than the half salad. It was delicious tho.\n\nThe mains also come served on giant plates! The food was delicious however the Kebob I got was a tad on the cooler side. Not a big deal as it was still fairly tasty. \n\nOur server was super nice and friendly and very accommodating. Yesterday we were at Divan restaurant. The worst food I ever seen . Kebab has a bad smell , shandiz is so greasy and a small amount of meat .kaskebademjan has no taste!! At all.\nAnd the worst part we ordered white fish the same as write in their menu, their bring a small fish that has a very fishy smell. I told them it's not a white fish, they said bcz we don't have we bring bass instead !! And today all of us have a diarrhea. My husband and I decided to try out the restaurant. We are vegetarian and there was basically only a couple of options for us. the vegetable kabob plate. and some salads. we opted for the vegetable kabobs. we asked the waitress how it was prepared she said the vegetables were grilled/bbq'd. sounded yummy enough. the plate comes with salad, rice and potatoes. the greek salad arrived first. a wonderful proportion. the plate arrived soon after. again, the proportion was a generous size. I would say great value. however, the vegetables looked 'anemic' they were definitely not fresh. It was from a vegetable medley frozen package. carrots had that defrosted rubbery texture. cauliflower was mushy and brown. there was a random broccoli in there. I was expecting chopped onions, peppers, tomatoes grilled on a stick. \nThe potatoes were ok. a bit bland. the rice was that Uncle Ben's style rice. While the service was pleasant, I honestly did not enjoy the food. The waitress saw that I left the plate and asked if it was ok. I was hesitant but politely explained that It was from a frozen packet and I just did not enjoy it. She said , 'no no' . I said, 'it is' and I could not eat it. She asked if the chef could prepare another plate for me. I was already full and put off. Plus, I did not see how another defrosted plate would make my meal any better. \nWe were charged for the plate. At the end , the waitress politely said, 'hope to see you again soon' like nothing ever happened. I don't think we will return. The decor and service is good but food was ok specially kebabs were very dry and not perfectly cooked. Shank was fine.\nThe not so good part was bread (pita) not fresh at all. They don,t make it on premises for sure. We received a vey friendly and professional service in Divan restaurant. \nThey have live music on Saturdays and an amazing show. We had a really great time in there. \nThe food is above average. I cant say its something fantastic but decently good. They have a greek appetizer, I dont remember the name but its the first one on the menu 14$ :)) well I actually liked it because I love cheese but its not the best option for someone with a persian taste. \n\nWhile we had a very good time in there last night, there is still something that bothered us very much. \n\nThere is apparently a policy that they charge 20$ for cake service no matter how many guests you have. \nWe were celebrating a birthday with in a group of 6 adults and a very small cake. So we called them just to ask about this policy and the manager was not polite to my sister. I mean, they are working on so many aspects to be perfect but yet the manager is a huge drawback himself. \n\nBut still, we enjoyed the night. |

It comes witch fries and their social sauce they give. Doesn't seem like they charge extra as I asked for 2 more. \n\nThe chicken tenders were very very juicy and very delicious. So much that when you buy into it, juices would come out. The French fries were not bad, nothing close to McDonald's but still pretty good. Come here to watch the Brett Eldredge in concert at the Park Theater, try out their food court, not very big, a few booths and lots of table.. the chicken tender is gooooooood, so as the Philly cheese steak, got them from The Original Chicken Tenders. The chicken tenders were fried to perfection and were very moist. The honey mustard sauce was also good. I would've rated it higher had the fries been crunchy (they were soggy). It's hard to find cheap decent fast food along the strip. The Orignial Chicken Tender is together with Nathan's (hot dog) at the food court of Monte Carlo Hotel is a good option. \n\nWe needed a quick bite to maintain our schedule while walking around the casino. \nI ordered the chicken tenders and fries combo along with lemonade. The food was made to order. Nice, tender, and with a crispy exterior. Great for soaking in the alcohol after a long night. Fries were freshly cut and cooked to perfection. Serving both Nathan's hot dogs and chicken tenders, I prefer just to get the hot dogs since they're advertised bigger. You can upgrade to sweet potato fries for an additional fee. Every item they have served is tasty as far as food court food goes.\n\nIt's pretty expensive compared to other places in terms of how much one gets for the money they pay, though, so I rarely eat here when I go to the food court except when I feel like eating a hot dog. The food is served very quickly and they provide a vibrating pager when one's food is done. |

It was a Saturday night and the place was packed. We were seated in an awkward location in the middle of the hallway (our other option was by the door which we declined).\n\nService was ok - there were times we were waiting for our server. I would say the food was ok too. I would describe the food as Italian with a French twist, kinda like a fusion. If you are expecting a true Italian place - Impasto is not it. This restaurant in Little Italy Montreal was amazing. We got a last minute reservation and it was perfect. Although more pricey it is worth it for a sophisticated flavor experience. The pasta was very good and flavorful. The staff and ambience were trendy, cool, and so friendly. Great service, great menu. It was a bit loud, but that happens sometimes.\n\nI had the cod antipasti, the linguini vongole as a primi, and the caciucco with squid ink frascatelli in an herb broth as a secundi.\n\nThe cod was delicious - very light and bright and flavorful, but underseasoned to my taste. Not only is this easily rectified, but as an American, my taste seems to run to a heavier hand with the salt than most Montrealers.\n\nThe linguini was excellent. I'd come back here for this dish alone. It was beautifully cooked and bursting with flavor.\n\nThe last dish was problematic for me. The broth was amazing. I would have liked more frascatelli than there was. The fennel bulb was cooked beautifully, as were the clams and the shrimp. However, the grilled octopus, which was the central protein didn't do it for me. I thought it was overcooked and overcharred, making it kindof useless on the plate. But because the rest of the dish was so wonderful, this ended up being a serious ding rather than a complete derailment. I decided to go here on my birthday and was really disappointed as was the entire group. I'm shocked it has so many great reviews. We ordered a variety of plates based on the Chesterman review and on the waiter's recommendation but nothing really blew me away. The service was good and the wine was nice, but I was definitely expecting more complexity from the dishes especially considering the high price point. Amazing! This restaurant has it all: a great space, excellent service, delicious wine by the glass, and incredible food. A friend and I split 4 items and the waitress kindly brought them out one by one with small plates for each of us. This well-paced way of eating is my favorite! Each course seemed better than the previous one- all were delicious. The salad is lovely- fresh vegetables served with fresh mozzarella and bread. We followed it with house made duck prosciutto served with melon- simply divine! Next came a pasta in lemon creme fraiche with arugula that may be the most delicious thing I've eaten in months. We finished with pasta and seafood in a red sauce- simple, fresh, and delicious. Can't recommend this place enough. |

Like Les said, don't let the outside fool you. Walked in and the atmosphere was very nice, very professional, very home-y. Great for families. Menu was large and the service was good. Food was VERY good and a GREAT price. My wife and I spent about $17 (including tax and tip). Food comes in large volumes, too--we were stuffed! An unbelievable deal--don't miss it! We'll definitely go back a lot! This is why I hate small town diners. Lousy service from the get go. The owner's daughter & the hostess & pontificate. The waiters are overwhelmed on a Friday night & the old farts take forever to order and are maddeningly demanding. Place is depressing with its decor and is overwhelmingly too big. Decor is underwhelming. \n\nFood is good. Very good. It does give you a smile thank God! HORRIBLE, no taste to hamburgers. way too expensive for the quality of food. Unprofessional atmosphere. Got gift certificate from a friend don't want to use it, even though free food. I ate here for the first time last week and was impressed. Everything was made from scratch. Not your run-of-the-mill menu, lots of very different items that I would like to try. the ham and bean soup was out of bounds! Even better than my own. the string beans were also exceptionally good! |

It's a fine example of the Thai mastery of that subtle blend of sweet, citrusy and hot flavors. In all their dishes, the ingredients are very fresh. It's obvious that these dishes do not sit around in some warming table all day. Other favorites include the chicken/lime/coconut soup (another best in town) and the vegetable pancake.\n\nSERVICE: The staff is very, very friendly, gracious and accomodating.\n\nATMOSPHERE: This is a mom and pop operation. It is small, clean, tidy and homey. Well... I guess it would be homey if your parents were amazing Thai cooks who didn't get on you about why you don't visit more often. Ordered takeout last night, got soup, seafood basil and duck choo chee. I like really spicy food, and this place delivered. Excellent heat and flavor, and extremely reasonable prices. Will definitely be ordering again. Never had Thai food before so I can't compare it to anything but the chili duck and Tom yum soup were great. Sauce seemed a little watered down but like I said, not sure if Thai food is always like that. Very small portions and very over priced for mideocer food. My tamarind duck was not what I had expected. I had duck before but, I don't know what it is but does not taste like duck. I've had a lot of good Thai food - this was not one of those times. Without a doubt the worst panang curry I've ever had. What a disappointment. It was a bland, watered down mess. The vegetables were limp and soggy. Not to mention I got carry out and the damn thing leaked all over the place. \n\nGo elsewhere if you are looking for good Thai. |

The guy at the register this morning at 7:01 am was so rude to the man in front of me I could not have believed it if I did not see it for myself...I will never return to this store \nRobert Another place that goes downhill. This place has gone down from 5 stars to 1 star. Food quality is not the same anymore. Dried overcooked meats is just a no no. It seems they keep everything precooked in the fridge and just heat it up. Not the same quality from 10 months ago. Seems they have tried to save money and its costing them points on the taste department. And the service...JUST HORRIBLE. Crancky ladies taking orders. Give you attitude and make you hesitate to ask for something. That itself makes this a 1 star. Bring back the quality and employees from before!! Bad service I have to order 3 times & I never got my older correctly I asked for a refund and the cashier did not want to give me my money back I do not recommend this place and I will not be coming back to this place federico's sucks Idk what has happened to this restaurant but the prices have become ridiculous and the food not as good. $14 for a bean and cheese burrito + ham/cheese/egg/potato burrito is absurd.

We chose this place based on the Yelp reviews and weren't disappointed. Good food at very reasonable prices. Decor is quaint, not fancy, but clean and welcoming. Never had Saganaki before but I highly recommend it. Chanced on this place after striking out at every other breakfast place in town, and was pleasantly surprised. It\'s certainly not a classy joint, but has that "off the beaten path/hole in the wall" appeal to it. Staff was amazingly friendly, super fast service, and good food. 4 stars because I wouldn\'t say it was amazing -- just your run of the mill, cooked on a grill, a little too greasy and then thrown together in a heap kind of food, but it totally hit the spot. Also super reasonable prices ($5-$9 per plate) with huge portions. Will ABSOLUTELY be back - worth it just for the atmosphere, price, and serving staff. Been here many times. In my opinion, it is off of the beaten path, but locals know all about it. WIth the help of Yelpers, others will, too.\n\nThis place is great for breakfast. I haven\'t eaten here aside from breakfast, so my review is based soley on breakfast. \n\nUpon entering, please notice that you need to wait to be seated. Weekends can get very busy- so go on a week day to get great specials!\n\nI think we have only ordered the Early Riser, which is always too much food for me! I end up bringing half home. I always think, "I am so hungry this time, that I am sure I can scrarf it down!"\n\nI will go here for their burgers one afternoon & update my review. In the meantime, go! I was very disappointed by this place. I really wanted it to be good. It's very small and looks like a local joint. Our service was good but that's about where it ends. \n\nI got the corned beef hash and to my surprise it was not out of a can. There wasn't a ton of it but the flavor of the corned beef alone wasn't terrible. Other than that, the potatoes were wayyy under seasoned and some weren't even done all the way. My husband got the barn buster and that was just awful. No seasoning and it was a big plate of mush. I can make better biscuits and sausage gravy better than that. Also, the coffee was pretty burnt and just not good. It's also Hamburger Station, which is weird but interesting, and I would come back to try that bc it looked cheap and good. I will never be back for breakfast though. Sometimes breakfast here is really good. The cooks change constantly, so its inconsistent. It's a dinner breakfast...cheap and greasy. The really nice thing is that this is combined with a Hamburger Station, so people at your table can pick between breakfast or burgers or both. Service has always been good. Seems like all the other breakfast places in Cuyahoga Falls have gotten too pretentious, so this is a nice alternative. |

Friendly Staff, Channing, and great food. So we walked over to Roaring Fork from Postino's. Just look at my review of them to see how that worked out. So we tried to salvage our evening by coming back across the street to Canal Club. Thank God for them. Made us feel welcome on a Wednesday night. Great drinks! Had the gaucho steak! Amazing. There were some great people and great times. Thanks for that! This place was beautiful! The decor was like being in Havana, or Miami. Outdoor seating by the pool with umbrella to block the AZ sun was perfect. Decent food selection, avocado toast was good but not too much flavor. The hash was delicious and was a large portion. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Our waiter Luz was extremely nice and knowledgeable of the menu and never left us waiting. We had trouble finding the restaurant because there was no sign or indication that it was inside the hotel though. The Canal Club is a trendy restaurant in the Scott hotel. The decor gives off an island vibe, while still remaining sophisticated. \n\nThe service was very awkward. When we arrived we approached an empty hostess stand and waited five minutes or so until the hostess returned. No other employees offered to help us during this time. We had reservations and the hostess told us to "wait one moment" and then walked away. She didn\'t come back for a few minutes so we ordered drinks at the bar. We had to tell the bartenders our drink orders multiple times because they either didn\'t hear or us or didn\'t care to hear us (which I assume is the latter because they hardly looked our way). They did not seem to be very busy at this time. I ordered the Helen & Maude cocktail which is a coconut mojito and it was divine. I would go back just for this cocktail alone! \n\nThe hostess came back to tell us she was getting our table ready and then left again. When we saw her again a few minutes later she was picking up drinks from the bar, looked at us and said "I guess you can just follow me." Um, what? \n\nOur server was incredibly sweet, but seemed to be a bit unprepared. He did not know much about the menu and did not know anything about the Restaurant Week menus placed at our table. We also had to ask repeatedly for extra silverware and menus- though this was probably the hostess\'s error and not his. We had a party of five and they had set the table for only three guests. \n\nWe ordered the tuna tostada, shrimp ceviche, and the chimmichurri steak. Everything was just average, and a bit salty. The one dish we did really love was the strawberry pie. It was nice and light with a flaky, buttery crust. \n\nAlthough we were a bit disappointed with our experience, I wouldn\'t rule out trying the Canal Club again in the future. Especially for another Helen & Maude cocktail! |

Exceptional service and cold beers. The couch area could be cleaned. The Clark used to be a cool under-rated dive bar under the upstairs which went through various failed attempts to revive it as a club or restaurant. See new review for more details!

I would definitely come back here given I could find another deal. Just to let you know, with the heat that comes with summer don't expect to get water from Barros pizza. I went to pick up a pizza and asked for a cup of ice water. Shockingly I was not given one. But it's ok because for $1.89 you can buy a cup of ice water. Well let me tell you I can go to Circle K and buy big bottles of water and ice for less. They do have foam cups but apparently when they are out they get in trouble for offering other alternatives. My biggest problem with the situation is the girl working there wasn't very nice to me as well as her co worker, who does offer alternatives. Maybe next time if you have a problem with another associate take it to the back and not in front of customers. All this hassle for a cup of ice water. Great customer service. Well they forgot a portion of my order and the driver said he\'d bring it back. So I tipped accordingly because he had to make an extra run. Then nobody came so I called to ask if it was being delivered and the response I got was "we got too busy so we won\'t be delivering the rest of your already paid for order" making what I did receive useless and on top of that I was charged for product that I never received. This type of horrible service will cause me to never order Barros again and I\'ve been a customer nearly 25yrs. There are plenty of other local pizza places that are delicious. Cant never go wrong with barrows pizza, that thick crust pizza cover in so much cheese it's to die for as a cheese lover Lol!! Chicken wings could use a dry rub Worst Barros I have ever been to. Water all over the bathroom floor from a leaking toilet. The employees were not prompt about its cleanup or even putting a sign up to prevent someone from slipping. Fountain drink machine was out of ice for an extended period of time. Ordered two flavors of wings and the waitress did not tell us which flavor was hot or mild. Come to think of it, the waitress didn't say anything at all. The pizza was as sloppy as this establishment. Overall terrible experience at this location. There were a ton of employees and the restaurant was empty. Not sure what the issue was here. |

If your in the area, and don't want to spend alot of money, this might be the place for you. \nIt's not like taco bell, so just something different. \nYes we noticed it was geared towards teens and young adults. Not that that bothered me. \nI got the Enchiladas, and the fish taco, baja style, it was OK, my husband got the Carna Estada Tacos, he said it was OK. \nThey said they make there own Salsa everyday, the chips actually tasted better without the salsa. \nI just say, don't go out of your way to go here, if your in the area......Then check it out for yourself. On my first visit to Chronic Tacos, I tried their chicken tacos. The meat was pretty salty and I was pretty underwhelmed by the meal. I had some coworkers rave about this place so I decided to give it another shot. Second visit, tried the carne asada tacos. Salty and dry. I think my coworkers were smoking some chronic when they ate here. That's the only explanation I can think of. |

I was very excited to come here today, also called to see if it was busy and if I needed to make reservations. They informed me that I didn't need to reserve a table and that we'll be able to get in if we came right away. \n\nSurprisingly when we got there we were the only table there. I thought they'd be busier but good for us we didn't have to wait. They sat us at a table right across from the kitchen that was reaping of sewer smell. The floors were wet leading to our table. As I looked into the kitchen was when I saw the whole kitchen drenched in some kind of murky water and everyone running around trying to mop the filthy water up. No wonder the whole place smelled like sewer. At this point I wanted to stand up and leave but didn't want to ruin dinner for everyone else. We asked to be moved to a table towards the front door. Out of site out of mind...\n\nWe ordered fried calamari which was bland, the octopus appetizer was just ehh. The seafood pasta was flavorless and the noodles were hard. The clam linguini was ok. The only thing that I can give this place a star for is the decorations. It's simple & cute but smelling like sewer... I'll can pass! A...mazing. This is a neighborhood gem. Started out with the bacon and date wrapped meatballs. I had the filet and partner had to salmon. Perfection. The menu is VERY eclectic.... there is definitely something for everyone. If you aren't into a steak or seafood, the sandwich selection is pretty good. Next time I am going to try the turkey and cranberry sandwich. We ended with the vanilla creme br\xc3\xbbl\xc3\xa9e. Again, perfection. Great bear and wine selection, and I definitely recommend the signature cocktail the Chandelier, especially if you love bubble gum vodka! \n\nGo see Jason. He took AMAZING care of us! Will definitely be going back! Decor: 5/5\nI just love everything about this place aesthetically. The chairs, the color, the feel something about this place just works in a French industrial kind of way. \n\nService: 5/5\nI've eaten in the bar as well as the restaurant. While I personally prefer they bar because I like the chat with Angel, the dining room is a solid choice. I've been here on about 5 occasions and have never heard a complaint. \n\nCocktails: 5/5 (can I give 7 stars?)\nI cannot over emphasize how amazing the cocktails are with Angel. I love classic cocktails and was very spoiled living in NYC with a mixologist roommate that worked in secret members only bars. At Spago there was one fantastic bartender, but he got promoted to oversee cocktails for all Puck restaurants. I catch him when I can. Herbs & Rye is spotty with their drink making. I had an amazing drink once (made by a guy with tattoos) and horrible one same visit (made by the owner, and I sent it back). Angel is consistent and by far my new favorite. Old-fashioned, sazerac, sidecar, mojitos... All fantastic creations. Plus he's down the street, and it doesn't cost me $15-$20 a drink. Score!\n\nFood: 4/5\nWith the cocktails so far above what I would expect in Vegas (especially off the strip in a non craft cocktail setting), the food is disappointing. It's very good but nowhere near great. My biggest gripe by far was the lobster bisque without lobster, but even the rue was above average at best. With the exception on the rainbow trout, I felt like the seafood from all of the other dishes (shrimp and clams) weren't the freshest. I could go through a list of things I had there, but honestly, there's nothing memorable. I'm glad I finally came to this place. A friend told me how good this place was but he never mentioned how nice this place was. I felt like I was at a tea party. The ambiance is great. Perfect for a date or even a big group. \n\nMy bf and tried a few appetizers, the flourless cake and a few beers. The gnocchi was my favorite and the meatballs were my bf's favorite. The pesto sauce in the gnocchi was so so good. I dipped everything else in it. I can't wait to try the salmon and a few other items on my next trip back, \n\nI saw the bar on my way out and am for sure going to try some of the cocktails too. It looked so relaxing and chill. Everyone was so nice and I loved the fact that it's down the street from me. I just love it here! I keep coming back! The food is great especially the Tapas! It's like fine dining with a twist, affordable prices for the servings and presentation,and of course the taste! The ambiance is so cozy, and fancy. I usually sit by the bar, and just get a kick out of the bartender(sorry I forgot his name). |

THEY DO NOT DELIVER!! They only advertise "Eat In or Take-Out". To be absolutely sure, I asked if they deliver and my answer: "No". I took a menu, but did not order from there. \n\nHow very sad. I just saw a sign for Foo Sing on Brookpark Road in the Target shopping center. Not sure if they are reopened yet, but I plan on heading over there tonight to see for myself! When they were forced out of the original location for the new Burlington Coat Factory they had an email sign up list to be notified for when they find aa new location. I'm not sure if they sent it and it went to my junk mail or not, But I'm so glad to see them reopening again. I have missed their great food! Foo sing's is the best chinese in North Olmsted. They have a small sit in full service eating area that is served by the family that owns it. The food is great and the service is nice. The decor is a bit boring but they are more of a take out place than anything. If you want good chinese go there. Foo Sing moved from their old location at Great Northern, to a new spot a quarter mile to the East, 25102 Brookpark Road, in the plaza front of the Target.\nI've only been here for lunch, but I like the spot. They have a buffet, which they refresh pretty regularly. The usual Chinese buffet fare, Kung Pao Chicken, General Tso, Egg Foo Yung, Sweet and Sour and Wonton soups, and so forth. Plus do it yourself self-serve ice cream for desert. \nNice place for lunch. Good greasy spoon Chinese with some decent Thai thrown in for good measure. One of the few places outside of Asia Town that serves Chow Fun noodles. It's also inexpensive and tends to be very quick for take out orders. The Pad Thai is good, and the cold sesame noodles appetizer is as well (though I've never found it to be spicy, as the menu suggests). |

They smelled kind of funny and the meat was really rubbery. Don't think I'm going to be going back if he's not there. Located inside of a AMPM gas station. Food was fresh and flavorful!!!! We ordered Ceviche, Menudo, and Camarones Adios. All dishes were AWESOME!!! Amazing authentic food. Love it here and would def. come back. The customer service is outstanding! It\'s in a gas station, YES A GAS STATION! I honestly can say I had my doubts. So being the optimistic kind of guy that I am, I gave it a soft try. "1 shrimp cocktail to go." And man o man am I impressed. Only 10$ for it. Was really good.. nextime ima try the food.. I was surprised.. I will return 4sure.... This place is on Pyle right inside the gas station. I've been wanting to go there for a while now I finally did and these are the best tacos and burritos, in fact all the food is good the only thing is you have to have cash which is no problem. This is the place I go to when I want tacos or want to try something new. |

She is always down for some pizza so we decided to get some tonight. We were going to go to the OG one in Glendale but its "Christmas Light Season" so I heard that they are always slammed and waits can be a bitch. I figured that this one wouldn\'t be crowded so we drove downtown to try it out.\n\nWe found parking right out in front. You are supposed to pay at the little kiosk thing but my mom is an old, hobbled soul who can\'t walk...aka, handicapped plates! Score! The place was easy enough to find. It\'s not in a super duper obvious spot but it\'s right in the heart of downtown about a block or so from the stadiums etc.\n\nWe walked in and were seated by a table at the window. We placed our order for 2 Cokes ($3.00, liter of Mexican Coke in a bottle), a Pizza Fritte aka Calzone and a Salciccia e Friarielle pizza. About 5 minutes later our food was out. Here is how it tasted.....................\n\nSalciccia e Friarielle ($15.00)- My mom really likes sausage on pizza. There were a few pizza options that had sausage and this one sounded unique and delicious, so we tried it. This pizza came with smoked mozzarella di Bufala, Schreiners (Local sausage place) sausage, rapini (kale...looked like broccoli rabe kind of) and olive oil. I should have probably read the description better because I swear that this one came with red sauce. Nope...it was a white pie (olive oil based sauce). First bite in, I noticed a few different things. 1. The smoked mozzarella di Bufala is incredibly smoky! It had a super strong flavor profile which was just a tad overpowering. It was good, but not pizza good...that cheese would be better with crackers or wine or something on its own..not melted on pizza. 2. This pizza was really "wet". When I removed my first slice, I noticed that the plate that it was on was real wet on the bottom. The crust was more soggy than normal and it was hard to pick up, fold and eat. Almost a knife and fork job. The non soggy crust was fantastic though and the rapini put a unique spin on the pizza. The Schreiners sausage was the best part of the thing. They cubed up this sausage and it was spread out evenly. It was delicious. A plain margherita pizza with sausage as a topping may be the way to go if you are a sausage lover. We ate the whole thing, it was pretty tasty and unique but I would never order it again. Not bad by any means, just different and every other pizza I have had from this pizza family has been way better.\n\nPizza Fritte (Calzone) ($10.00)- Wow! Just WOW! You want to talk about massive! This thing is the size of a football! This calzone is unique in the fact that they fry this bitch instead of bake it. I cut this thing open and saw the fantastic ingredients of mozzarella, ricotta, salami and tomatoes just begging to be shoved in my mouth. It comes topped with basil strips and served with a side of marinara sauce. I took a bite of the dough and was hooked. Its like eating Indian fry bread in pizza dough form. It was very unique and very tasty. This thing was so big that I had to take half of it home. Good morning breakfast! Can\'t wait! I will definitely get this thing again. For sheer value ($10.00), its the best thing on the menu. \n\nService was great! Our waitress was on top of things and checked in with us a few times during our meal. \n\n4 stars for now because of a few things. First, it\'s way far away from my house in Surprise. Second, the Glendale one is closer, tastes better and has more of a "homey" feel to it. If I am ever downtown though watching a Suns/Dbacks game and want some pizza, I will definitely head over here again. For starts...NO CRAFT BEER...IN DOWNTOWN PHX?!?! Haha I ran into the owner and asked him about it. He recommended a good beer from Italy. \n\nI got a delicious pizza and the cheese ball deals, both were amazing. I don't know why I've seem elite members on yelp rate this place wayyyy below than where it should be.\n\nLast I got a canoli. The shell was deep fried (out of the ordinary) again, delicious! \n\nHats off to the owner and the crew. The one lady who was our server, eh, could do better. More personable. This is seriously the best pizza I have had anywhere during my entire life. It is utterly delicious. The location is great, right downtown near all of the sports arenas. It is a perfect spot to grab a bite to eat before a game or a show. It has a great atmosphere and very nice and informative staff. We have had the margharita and Italian Stallion, both were amazing and cooked perfectly in their brick oven. One of my absolute favorite things here are their desserts. I have heard that their house made tirimisu is amazing, but we tend to eat late and it has been sold out. So we have had their house made cheesecake each time and it is the best cheesecake I have ever had. I highly recommend everything about this place. A must hit in downtown Phoenix! I got takeout from here for my girlfriend and I and it was underwhelming at best. First, after seeing two very different pictures for the regular Margherita pizza and the Regina Margherita DOC, I was told the only difference was that one had buffalo cheese. We also got the pesto pasta, which tasted more of pine nuts than pesto. And finally, we had a cannoli for desert and it was dreadful. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking to be blown away, or even moderately impressed. Wow! I got the margarita pizza which is a cheese pizza. It was so delicious. I love how they make their own mozzarella cheese. Service was fast and friendly. Rare these days with some places. I will definitely come back! |

Their lunch specials are huge portions that can be split among 2-3 people WITH leftovers for the next day. All lunch specials come with a spring roll or soup.My favourite is the chicken corn. Plenty enough food for lunch. The chili chicken is among the best in the city. Their hakka chowmein albeit a little greasy at times, is tasty. Some other great items also include szechaun vegetables and black bean beef with vegetables. On most days, you can find a few neighbourhood police officers stopping in for lunch which is a good sign as they tend to know all the good places to eat. If you decide to dine in, you will be entertained with the multiple t.v.'s playing Bollywood movies. Stop in if you're in the area. It's a good bet if you're craving Hakka. Restaurant was busy for a weeknight and we figured that was a good sign. Checked Yelp and it appeared positive. \n\nHad the Manchurian noodle with shrimp, chicken pakoras and chilli chicken. Service was quick. Pakoras came out first... At least that\'s what we ordered. Not sure if I would call what the hard, round tennis balls, brown, almost black, mostly breading things, pakoras... But okay. Taste? Just like I expected. Not good. I thought maybe the just burned out batch. Nope. That\'s how they all looked when I looked around the room for other patrons who ordered "pakoras". \n\nManchurian noodles were drenched in oil. A lot of oil. Slippery couldn\'t hold them on chopsticks oily. The dish as mostly noodles - no veggies and shrimp were tiny. Chilli chicken was also a greasy mess. The only thing that they didn\'t mess up was the rice. Oh and the Coke that I ordered. \n\nThe only "positive" thing was that portions were huge. Enough for us to take home for lunch and dinner the next day. Not that we wanted to eat it again. Friendly service and tasty foods. Provided a pitcher of water (which was definitely needed after the level of spicyness) and the restaurant was blasting the air conditioning (which I also understood why after eating)! I have to admit the Chilli Chicken is really good.Most of the other dishes ordered were also pretty decent - egg fried rice, eight treasures. I wasn't very impressed with the Hot and Sour soup or the dessert - fried bananas which was purple inside (?) and very hard (the spoon went flying trying to cut through it) I did like the honey vanilla ice cream though! Service was good and the old school Bollywood videos they were playing added to the amusement for the evening. I have snuck in here forever. And will always come to this place so long as I can drive to it.\n\nThere is a way of sort of ethnic dining in Toronto, where you get to really try good food from different cultures. I would recommend this place for a dip in.\n\nA way you can tell if an ethnic local Toronto place has good food, is who actually goes to eat there. I.e. You go to a Chinese restaurant, you want to see people from that Culture eating there.\n\nInside this place, you get all kinds of ethnicities coming in here, and really enjoying their food. Yes, if you are not used to a bunch of ethnic people from all races coming in to eat, you might not find this place that comfortable. Whole families will come. So will a date. So will someone for takeout. So will someone out of a barber shop.\n\nIt is asian people serving you, with Bollywood songs on a big screen in the background.\n\nSuper crowded place. You sit down, you get your menu. Service is chaotic, but for the charm and business of the place, you eventually get fed a heavy portion.\n\nBest, Chilli Chicken, Chilli Chicken, Chilli Chicken.\n\nRemember I warned you about the frenetic environment.\n\nScarborough's New Frederick's.

I think they could get away with charging a bit more and I would be ok with it. Always happy to eat here and I recommend it to others. \n\nIf you don't have time to eat in the call ahead for take out. Perfectly fine Thai restaurant with all the classics (Massaman curry, crying tiger, basil chicken, Tom Yum, etc) and average prices. Not a destination restaurant, but good for a Thai cravings fix. The Bangkoknai is my favourite place to go for Thai in Calgary.\n\nI'm a big fan of Mussaman beef curry. The beef was a little overdone the most recent time I've been there but the sauce sure made up for it. It's amazing.\n\nA great array of appetizers ... we sampled from the calamari, the spring rolls and the salmon. The two former were served with a delicious sweet Thai chili dipping sauce.\n\nThe service is friendly and attentive but my favourite part about the restaurant is probably the serving dishes. They're old and classic Thai, complementing the ambience. Cool little restaurant, has some decent decor that isnt bad. Kitchen is extremely clean which is a good sign from this kind of place.\n\nService was brutal, entree dishes came out sporadically over the course of 20-30 minutes (the restaurant wasnt busy) but the food was good and had loads of flavours. They cheap out and use crappy frozen veggies in their dishes which i think is pathetic considering it takes 30 minutes to cut a bunch of Carrots and broccoli up. Lazy to the enth degree. \n\nI wouldnt go back, the food would be fine as a take out but the service was brutal and im not a fan of restaurants cheaping out on simple things like Veggie prep. This is without a doubt a restaurant above the rest!!!!\nI went on line for delivery with a so called company that handles these things (I have voiced my opinion on that area) not to take away from the delivery screw up one of the owners brought it himself to my house\nIt gets better the food was the ultimate in Thai Food fresh clean flavours omg I never rant but this is fantastic \nPlease give this a try u will be impressed \nThanks for ur time\nShannon Peever |

Notice that all of the 5-star reviews are by users with only 1 or 2 reviews. They probably gave one another most of their useful/funny/cool votes. In fact, Gabrielle Y.\'s original review was removed by the Yelp admin, but a new one was posted IMMEDIATELY (literally within a few minutes). I urge my fellow Yelpers to read everything carefully and decide for yourself which ones to trust.\n\nMy original review is below:\n--\nWow, I haven\'t been this disappointed in a long time. My fianc\xc3\xa9e and I had been excited about coming here since we first saw the signage outside last month, and we finally came today (a Saturday), around 11:30 AM. The first thing we noticed is how disorganized the place is; they were busy training a new employee and none of the others was dealing with the line of customers waiting to order. The place wasn\'t super busy, maybe a dozen people eating and 4 others in line ahead of us.\n\nThe way this place works: ingredients are separated into meats (which include fish, shrimp, etc.), vegetables, and "mixed meats" (fish balls and quail eggs). You tell them which ingredients you want, they put them all in a bowl, and cook in a soup with your broth of choice. Meats are $2 each, vegetables $1, mixed meats $1.50. While the concept is fine, the poor organization here means ordering is very inefficient. The staff are Chinese and so are we, but they didn\'t know the names of several items we asked for. I imagine it would be even more confusing for English speakers. They don\'t have a large quantity of the ingredients on the counter, so they are constantly running out of things and running to replace with a new batch. They also failed to keep track of what ingredients we ordered, and we had to help them add it up. All in all, ordering was a messy ordeal and I don\'t want to imagine how they handle the crowds during busier times. \n\nPersonally, I think they should let customers fill their own bowl and pay by weight (like most similar places in China), or a fixed price per bowl (like the Mongolian grill type places in America). By charging different prices for different ingredients they may be squeezing out better profit margins, but at the cost of poor operating efficiency. I also think they should call your number and have you pick up your order at the counter, rather than trying to bring it to your table, which they can\'t find and end up constantly calling out numbers anyways. At the very least, they should let customers get their own chopsticks, napkins, and cups of water - it\'s yet another extra burden on the already disorganized staff. \n\nWe asked for "slightly spicy" broth but what we got lit our mouths on fire. I don\'t know if they misheard or just don\'t have anything less spicy, but keep that in mind. They don\'t give you white rice, so make sure you order enough for the soup. My tongue was completely numb so I can\'t comment much about how the food tastes. But my fianc\xc3\xa9e had stomach cramps during the drive back home, and ended up getting sick. \n\nOverall, it seems that the owners didn\'t do sufficient preparation before opening the restaurant. They should have had the staff properly trained and rethought their operation procedures. As of right now, the place is a complete mess, which is a bad sign for a place that just opened and should have had things planned out. I won\'t come back because of the food poisoning, but in any case I would urge them to consider adopting the self-serve model of several other nearby eateries (Spoon House, Sushi Ichiban, etc.). It would significantly speed things up while not adding to their costs.\n-- To summarize, I have to agree with the person who wrote the first review. I saw their ads a few months ago and was very excited. My husband and I gave it a try two days ago, and I have to say that I'm very disappointed about the food they offered. \n\nFirst, what you may want to know: I came from Sichuan, China where Chinese style spicy hot pot was originated from. What this restaurant's supposed to offer, spicy tang, is basically a fast food version of hot pot: you ordered food and they'd cook it for you. The most important factors for a good spicy tang are (1) plenty of choices of the food you can choose, and (2) the food has to be fresh and cooked just about right so it remains crunchy.\n\nUnfortunately, what this restaurant actually offers is none. Their choices of food are few and are frozen food that you can easily find at a Chinese/Korean grocery store. They don't offer potato slices, seaweed, or sweet potato noodles, which are considered must-haves in spicy tangs and they not hard to be found in Asian grocery stores. Their lotus root slices are basically frozen ones and taste horrible; they don't even bother to buy fresh lotus roots and cut them by themselves. To be honest, I think everyone can cook the exact food by themselves using the ingredient they can easily find in Asian grocery stores and don't need to spend $15+ at this place.\n\nI would suggest the owner to be more serious about opening a restaurant business. At least prepare fresh food and don't just buy frozen ones from super market. Also, I'm not sure whether the owner is aware of this, but the hot pot ingredients brought in Asian stores may contains pork or cow fat. I'd suggest you clearly mark it so that vegetarians or people with religious beliefs won't accidentally ate it. I ordered the spicy stir fry. The lady at the counter didn't speak much English but nonetheless was very nice, and the owner told me that they do not use MSG (a rarity for any Chinese restaurant)! My food arrived in a cute black pot with a plate of white rice. However, my rice was ice cold, and the stir fry was lukewarm. While the stir fry's flavor was good, the vegetables were undercooked. This place could do very well, they just need to cook the food through and serve it hot! We ordered Spicy Tang, and the food has no other flavors but spicy taste. It is really hard to make bad taste of Spicy Tang. I would not Recommend this place. I was craving some warm and spicy food in this cold Illinois winter. So my boyfriend and I went to Spicy Tang for the first time and the food was way beyond our expectations!!!!! \nSince I was starving, I got both the Hot Pot and the Spicy Stir Fried (\xe9\xba\xbb\xe8\xbe\xa3\xe9\xa6\x99\xe9\x94\x85). There was a variety of veggies and meat available for us to choose from and the ingredients were all very fresh. We had a medium hot pot with tonkotsu broth. The food was decent. The sesame sauce was the best part of the Hot pot!\nI love the Spicy Stir Fried even more!!! I'd say it definitely tasted much better than what we had in EVO and is probably the best spicy stir fried on campus. It was authentic, delicious, and just the right amount of spicy! I will definitely come back for more of that. Nom Nom Nom!!!\nThe service was also wonderful. With the cashier's help, it was easy for us to figure out what to order the first time we went. We didn't wait long to get our food either. All in all, it was a wonderful and satisfying experience for us and the price was decent. Keep it up, Spicy Tang! |

Pizza Boys Shawarma isn't a restaurant that belongs on the must-dine list. You aren't going to come here with a date or bring a few friends here for dinner. Instead, this small store front is dedicated to those who want a quick snack (or meal) possibly after a few drinks. It's not a sit down restaurant, rather a walk up to the counter, order and get your food in three minutes kind of a place. \n\nHow the heck did we end up here? It wasn't planned. That I can promise. We'd already eaten at Big Cheese Poutinerie and one of my friends had talked about how he didn't know what shawarma was while we walked back to the car. Having only eating some of our poutine (it was just fair) we opted for round two and search for a place with hummus and shawarma. We walked three blocks and stumbled upon this place. From the outside it sure isn't modern and is in desperate need of a makeover. \n\nMeanwhile, seeing as we were only going to split a sandwich we went in. The family that runs this place is nice, helpful and passionate about what they cook. While the pizza looked like something from a gas station. I wouldn't eat it. On the other hand, there shawarma was fine. It's not the best you've ever had, but a fair priced average tasting entree. The hummus is average, too. \n\nWhy come here? I'm not sure. With the number of other restaurants nearby this is one of the last place I'd end up. There's too many other better tasting, more enticing and more upbeat spots around. However, if it's a quick bite you're after - this might be the average spot you were looking for. By far the worst shawarma i ever Had. Wasn't even shawarma I think they added curry to it. Not sure if that's even legal. The fries tasted good. So did the diet coke. Just the shawarma is not to be eaten. I know it's quick food, but smile a little bit. A & W is is next door and they are very polite. Having said that the food is passable. I would go for the samosas as they seem to put most focus on them. I've had better donairs before, nothing special here. The service was good, the staff was friendly. Again, the taste of the donair meat itself was sub par and a bit on the expensive side for what you get. The pizza was also a bit dry. If you're looking for a bitter man (owner?) to serve you some over-priced, albeit quick eats, without making eye contact, this is the place for you! These days, when businesses are struggling to stay open, it amazes me that people are still clueless when it comes to basic customer service. |

The smallish jammed in tables was another negative but the food was happily as good as we've had in years at any pizza specialist. \n\nI could have dined on just the bread, oil and an IPA. Beet salad and cauliflower frittata were both 4.5s. The margarita pizza was as good as the version that used to be served at Via Allegro and that is high praise.\n\nTo drive and search for parking in this part of Toronto, for this Mississaugan, the resto has to above average. Thankfully it was and we will be back. Yep, big fan. My new go-to for a delicious lunch. You can't go wrong wth a $15 prix fixe lunch special - app, main, dessert. So much bang for your buck it's ridculous. I've even been spoiled with a delicious digestif bitters on recent visits. \n\nDinner service at Libretto's is next...\n \nHonourable mentions: \n- the pizza crust is just right - the leftovers are equally tasty when consumed cold\n- incredibly attentive and friendly staff, not to mention easy on the eyes First off dont go in large parties of single people because they do not do separte bills, which is rediculous. Now to get to the service, it was great, they are very attentive with filling up your water glass. Now for the pizza, i am a huge fan of good pizza, i was stoked to try it. I had the Margherita pizza, and i know it is the most basic and traditional pizza but i thought it was limp and lacked flavour. I also had the appetizer, the boccala, and being an italian, this is a fav dish of mine. it was branded as being a salted fish and i wish the aioli that accompanied it wasnt so spicy because it really overpowered the saltiness. Also, a little suggestion for the owners, i know u are trying to present a casual and relaxed atmosphere, but please splurge for wine glasses, i dont like drinking wine from a water glass. I loooove the pizza at Libretto!! Best in Toronto, hands down. Yes, the pizza IS better than Terroni's and so is the service! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to try the pasta because I can't seem to overcome my addiction to their Cremini Mushroom pizza. Ask for extra roasted garlic...you won't be disappointed! I've been to both locations and both experiences were fantastic. Our 2nd sit down meal in Toronto and I must say this was the best value so far. We had the prix fixe menu which consisted of bruschetta, green bean/potato/pesto salad, the salami pizza, and the panna cotta with blueberries.\n\nExcellent pizza...and even better panna cotta...I fell in love.\n\nGreat service and presentation...you guys have a gem. |

I have easily eaten at 30-40 unique shops and each has their ups and downs but few have the complete package for me. Kings is no exception. I would say they have the best Tzatziki of any place I've eaten at locally. They use the same Pitas as most good places do. Yet they lost me with the generic borderline grocery store frozen fries. The establishment is nice, they people are nice. I would have dropped a fifth star if the fries had not bored me. By far the best Greek family in town and best Greek food. Been eating at this place for 20+ years. I have tried other Greek places while on vacation but none compare. The owners run it and make everything fresh daily. Even the cooks in the back are friendly. Wonderful place to get great Greek cuisine. Thank you for the many years of friendship and laughter King Gyros. Favorite Greek ever! Been going here for years because I can't stop the cravings for this place. Chicken kabob plate with pita and the Greek salad is perfect. The sauce too... This place is great! Its a bit small and does get crowded at certain times, but the service is very good and the food comes out quickly. speaking of the food, its great! and is reasonably priced. I love to get the gyro platter here, its so good! and very filling! So if your hungry for gyros definitely check it out! This family-owned restaurant is so awesome. The service is very personal, and the food makes me crave and come back for more! I almost always get the Gyro salad. It's FABULOUS! They never get my order wrong and they even memorize it. They are on point. \n\nKing Gyros is just, perfect. |

Amazing food amazing staff great service. Pretty tasty, juicy, crispy chicken and sandwiches. Reminds me of Chick fil a. Bread was soft and fresh, and fries were fat and extra crispy. Would definitely go back. I saw this place and decided to stop by here with my luggage before i flew out. Best chicken i had in my life when i was at the airport. \nThe last person i met worked there, She's cool and we still keep in contact.\nThanks for the Friend and Awesome chicken strips.\n\nNote- The Grandma sauce that I did not want accidentally spilled on my chicken when going to the airport. That was the best thing to happen to them.\n\nHeading back to vegas again just for the strips. (chicken strips) Booked at Venetian and it's a 3 minutes walk towards this place, very close. Ordered 5 piece tenders with 2 sides for $12 after we left pool. We're pretty much filled up and it's pretty tasty. Price is fair too. |

I am hust not even sure what to say. I can live with burrito blowout (it gets a hole and they wrap another tortilla around it) but crappy meat is the killer. \nPlease fix this!!!! Ok, the food is great, BUT, these people are so cheap. They barrely give you ANY chicken I was like wth where's the chicken in this burrito bowl? so I always get the double-chicken. Bummed! I normally love chipotle but today when I tried to order online, no carnitas was available. So I called and they said to just write in the comments that you want carnitas, asked if I could order on the phone and they said Yes, hold on and never came back! So ordered online following the instructions that were given to me and get back to my office and I have no Carnitas! ARGH!! The newest guac on the block, this Chipotle makes one mean burrito. Brand spanking new and shiny, the restaurant is built on the site of a completely renovated 'Barbeques Galore' store right next door to the Lamps Plus in the heart of the Pavillions Shopping Center. \n\nThis is the first location I spotted the franchise's newly introduced cilantro lime brown rice and I've got to say the nuttiness and texture really add to the burrito experience. With everything you've come to love from a Chipotle on top of the added freshness of a newly built kitchen, I couldn't ask for more in a meal.\n\nThe staff is quite young, but they spoon out the delicious burrito fillings with the deft hands of burrito making veterans, smiling throughout the interaction and engaging the customer with interest. The cook tended a slew of delicious marinated chicken on the grill, and sat humming cheerfully as they browned. The sounds of the juices crackling on the hot grill echoing through the restaurant seemed to compliment his tune.\n\nOnce I had paid, I took an empty seat and began to unwrap the glory that is the Chipotle steak burrito. With childlike abandon, I began tearing into this marvel of modern culinary magic, devouring bite after bite until I was left empty-handed and full-bellied. A highly recommended ending to a long day at the office.\n\nCould not be more satisfied with my meal here, and look forward to coming back time and time again, as the location is perfectly situated on my commute home from work. Clean, friendly, delicious, nutritious and nearby, truly a 5 star establishment. No Chumpotle\nBy The Rue\n\nClosing time is ten o'clock,\nI nearly got there on the dot,\nThe employees were closing up,\nI put in my order and got my cup,\nChicken burrito with rice and beans,\nThey're out of gaucamole it seems,\nI didn't fuss and I didn't bitch,\nThey even threw in a bag of chips,\nSince it was late I got my food to go,\nStopped by here after the movie show,\nThe dinning room was clean,\nThe workers were not mean,\nIf I'm in the area I'll come here again,\nAfter I ate I didn't break wind.\n\nThank you Denver, good night!! |

It concerns me that their cook deemed that safe to eat. We had to drive all the way back to the restaurant for a refund. We also ordered the chicken pad Thai which was flavourless and barely had any chicken pieces in it. I will certainly never return. Cashew chicken and red curry chicken very good. \nPortions a bit small. \n4 spring rolls for 8 bucks is a lot to charge. \nI liked it but it was pricey. Def some of the best Thai food I have ever had!! Been back many times highly recommend trying! Fantastic service from mom and daughter. Love the spicy wings and the generous pad Thai. |

(yeah, i'm sure everyone in the restaurant heard all of our crazy stories)\n\nThis place is small and a little upscale, so perfect for small families and couples. This place fit around 30 seats and is very cramped if its all occupied. \n\nIS IT JUST ME OR....\nbrunch takes forever to be served...or maybe i'm just an angry person when i'm starving ._, \n\nWell this place was packed for brunch and had only one server, definitely need to hire another staff. Oh, and as if the food didn't take a long time to be served, we were actually asked to finish up quickly since they had another group coming in shortly. \n\nBut since the food was good, i looked past the service and continue to fill my belly. We rented the cozy venue for a small family brunch get together. It seats 30 comfortably. The food was great absolutely no complaints. They went out of their way to accommodate some of our guests with special needs diets. There gluten free menu is vast for such a quaint establishment. I had the gluten-free pancakes....light, fluffy and moist to die for! You would never know they were gluten free absolutely stupendous! The chef Dialo is amazing a master of his craft he was able to meet everyone's needs and there were a lot of picky people! We had a wonderful time the ambiance was perfect the food was great and the hostess Valerie was amazing (and the tall gorgeous bald guy)! We will definitely visit there again for other family functions. Have had brunch there 3 times and each time it was so delicious. Some great choices - stuffed French toast (I ran 7k later that day so...). But also try the Classic ( ok those potatoes - just amazing) and my favourite - the Eggs Benedialo - great presentation and full taste experience. Will have to try dinner soon. Service was okay. Waitress was pleasant but food took forever even though only 4 tables filled and we were second to arrive.\n\nPatio is nice as not many in the area\n\nBrunch - egg benedict was decent. Not special. \n\nNot in a hurry to return. I used to come here on a regular basis. At least once a month or two for brunch. The service was good and food better. \nHowever, this time was something totally different. It was like an episode of Kitchen nightmares. I did not see a single customer leave happy. \nFood was decent when it came out.... over an hour after we ordered. \nThe server didn't come to our table even once on the patio. No apologies or information or explanation about the delay. \nWe had to go in and ask the servers for coffee twice. Ketchup twice. \n\nThe table next to us ordered a plate with pancakes as they especially wanted it. However, after waiting for an hour and a half, when their food was finally delivered, the server gave them the food and then informed them that they no longer make pancakes. They had specifically ordered the dish for the pancakes and had informed them that they were ordering it because of the pancakes. \n\nOur water wasn't refilled once. No server came to check on us throughout the 2.5 hours we were there. We had to get their attention by physically going to them. \n\nOh and the napkin was dirty. \n\nWhen our bill came, they had charged us extra. Upon inquiring why, she told us that the prices had gone up for the steak, and we were to be informed when we ordered. \n\nA disaster through and through. \n\nSome pluses:\n1. They made me a dish that used to be on their menu and stopped. The link - my favorite on the old menu. \n2. They moved us to the patio when a table opened up. \n3. The manager acknowledged all the issues. Said that they are working on it. And asked us to please give them another shot. But only after I informedher of our experience. |

The ingredients were so fresh. First time eating here and the staff was great. I tried the bowl with chicken and beg and all the fixings. And OMG the braised beef was by far my favorite. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I can't wait to try more. I highly recommend this place for lunch, dinner, or late night. I'll definitely be back. FYI for those interested---as of today I have not heard a response after being asked to email them. So I took the initiative to privately message the person who responded to my original review due to the non-communication via email. No response there either. Absolutely terrible. I got it because nothing else was open (they get the second star for being open), almost couldn't eat it but I was very hungry. \nI won't come back unless extremely desperate. Been here several times since they opened for takeout...back now in Toronto, and not sure if I would visit Bang Bang again, to tell the truth as already it's become a bit lackluster in my opinion....service is friendly and personable, but I've learned that portion size largely depends on who's preparing your meal, and depending on who you get is *what* you get....so lack of consistency loses major points for me and makes me start to resent a place pretty quickly. I really want this place to do well, however, as I think they have a lot of potential with a mostly untapped market in The Annex. Hopefully consistently improves as they go. Friendly service. I ordered a small Fish Burrito to go, $11 after tax - Big portions for the price. Tons of interesting fillings to choose from - thumbs up for the Apple Slaw, Grilled Corn, and Pineapple Salsa.\nThe ordering process is a little more laborious than I would have liked for a lunch takeout, but I really appreciate the effort. I waited about 25min from order to pick-up, so time your pickup if you are in a rush for lunch. \n\nNice addition to the Annex. I will be back! |

Thankfully (?), our waitress had none of that. \n\nWe arrived for lunch just before 3pm, so it wasn\'t busy, and were given a nice table next to the patio doors. We did have with us a five-year-old, but he\'s a quiet one, and given that there were only three other diners in the whole place, and that we bought him an $18 pizza, I hardly think this should explain the attitude from the server. In fact, I\'m not even sure she knew she was being rude, but after rolling her eyes at the little one\'s request for pepperoni (which they had anyway), responding to another of our party\'s request not to have whole leaves of basil on her pizza with, "There are only two or three leaves on it anyway. You can pick them off," and responding to a request to see a coffee menu after dinner with, "We don\'t have *coffee*; we have espresso. And we don\'t have a coffee menu," (in Italy, it\'s all \'caff\xc3\xa9\', and the options had clearly been listed in one of the dinner menus she had taken away earlier), we decided to go somewhere else for dessert, to give her back her empty table that she so evidently coveted. \n\nLovely pizza, reminiscent of my time in Italy. Irritating service. A great option for lunch on a work day. It's possible to get in and out in an hour because the pizzas literally take 90 seconds to cook. I'm a fan! I had the margherita pizza, and I wasn't disappointed. The sauce was perfect, and they import their mozzarella from Naples. I can get on board with that!\n\nMy friend had the Quattro formagi pizza, and I could smell the delicious tangyness of the gorgonzola. Yum! \n\nThe pizzas are a bit on the pricey side, but the toppings are fresh and delicious. I'm looking forward to going back so that I can try some of the salads and pastas. \n\nSo happy for more options in Market Square! Food was ok. It was definitely overpriced, especially considering that there is much much better Italian food at other places in Pittsburgh for the same price point. Service was not good at all. Very little attention was paid to us. When we asked for recommendations on wine, our waiter told us that he didn't really know much about Italian wine. He actually laughed at us when we asked a question about something on the menu. When I ordered my meal using the Italian phrase (as it is on the menu), he didn't understand me. Again he laughed! \n\nThere are so many better options in Pittsburgh for great food. This was my first time at any Il P. \n\nFirst the good... I thought the service was adequate for the cost. The beer and drink list somewhere between good and great. That's it for the good in my opinion.\n\nNone of the bread varieties were noteworthy in as much as I don't have anything to say about them at all. The pizza was almost identical to Stone at a higher price.\n\nThe menu was fair but not vast. The first time I asked for a substitution I was shot down like a 9th grader asking a senior to the prom. I don't blame the server, she's simply doing her job and honoring the orders of the kitchen. This wasn't an outrageous request at all. It was something they had, I just wanted more of it. Fine, I understand you need to manage your supply of food back there. However, this put me in the mindset that nothing on the menu can be changed at all, which is probably true, I ended up with a marked up Stone pizza and a fried zucchini plank or two (which were good by the way). I remember saying, if these planks don't come out with sauce I'm gonna lose it. They didn't- but some was provided promptly by request.\n\nMy wife had meatballs. Yes, meatballs. As in on a plate. You see, there is no dish that incorporates both pasta and meatballs, odd for an Italian restaurant if you ask me.\n\nBottom line, if you look at the menu and see something you really want it'll probably be good. If you want some control in what you're buying, don't bother- next time, I won't. Fantastic service. The bartender was amazing sorry to say she is moving but I highly recommend eating here. The food was amazing. The manager stopped by to ask how everything was. She stayed to talk for a minute because we're those type of people that talk to everyone. |

Love the family. Try the steam fish and hot pot! Delicious fish soup bases and the fish is very fresh and soft. After your fish dish is finished, you can do regular hot pot (ingredients chosen by a la carte). Usually I don't drink soups in hot pot or noodle dishes but this one does not come off as oily or salty and very easy and nice to drink down. \n\nThe steam pot also cooks really quickly which is great. Lots of nice appetizers to choose from as side dishes too - spicy squid and fried tofu were my favourites. I knew it was going to be some fresh fish when they came and showed me my live fish in a net as I ordered. This steamed pot is so super hot that it allows the fish to be cooked fast and perfectly (and your hot pot after uses the same soup base. Mmm). Fun experience - check my video of the ordeal. It's a unique place to eat but the food is nothing too different from other Chinese hot pot place. The service is not very good either. We reserved a table on a weekday at 7pm and we waited half an hour to get seated. Once we got seated, they had to clean the pots while we were seated. While I was watching them clean, I can see how dirty the pot and the lids are. There were leftover bits of food on the pots and lids. I can't see how anything here is that sanitary.... Also, this place is so expensive. For the stuff you're getting, I don't think it's worth it. This place is basically steamed fish + hotpot. They definitely overcharge for the fish but it did taste very fresh. We ordered the green bass and requested to have a smaller size fish so they ended up giving us one that was 1.6 lb. We chose the original soup base which tasted very delicious after they used it to make the fish. \nWe also ordered some other items for hotpot. Pretty standard but the soup made all the difference. If you're into steamed fish, would recommend this place but expect to pay $100+. |

Over priced to begin with AND we were overcharged which took 2 weeks to fix. $100 extra out of my bank account for 2 weeks. The saving grace here is their outdoor bar.. I'd skip the food for sure.. And bring cash. For only having been open a couple of weeks, the food is ok. Just ok. For now. For the pricing they have, they really need to step up the quality of the food. I really don\'t mind paying more so long as the quality is there. But I do believe that there is A LOT of potential. \nMy first experience there was a good one. I saw a willingness to please the customer and to correct whatever wrong there was. I had some very undercooked food and it was addressed immediately. Andy and Erica were receptive to suggestions and other feedback. \nATMOSPHERE: It looks spa-like inside, but feels energetic. Hostess is a delight. Very sweet, friendly and accomodating. \nBAR: We only ate at the bar, so I can\'t speak to the rest of the dining, but it looks spacious. The bar area is comfortable with plenty of extra seating at high tops and a few lounge tables. Outside, the fountain was actually on while we were there and it\'s magnificent! Can\'t wait til the patio is done. I appreciate that they really want you to see what they\'re doing and have laminated copies of their floor plan of what\'s to come. They REALLY need to get more and better tequila in there. I\'ve asked them 3 times now to get Don Julio and they keep telling me they "want to wait to see what people are drinking." I don\'t care what everyone else drinks. I\'m a new customer in a new restaurant making a request because my friends and I WILL drink it and we want to drink it there!\nSERVICE: Erica was a great bartender for us!! So very helpful as far as helping us decide what to order. And quick on replenishing drinks. Never had to ask or wait for a drink.\nMENU: Here\'s where things get a little tricky. I was told "it\'s going to change quite a bit. The current one is just temporary". That being said, of what I\'ve seen of the menu there seems to be a good balance between seafood and the other items. What I saw people ordering a lot was the stew. Guess It must be good. One lady seated next to me ordered the ruben. As she bit into it, grease oozed from it like when you squeeze a sponge. Not even kidding. My friend ordered the Lobster Roll and fries - which she didn\'t finish and later got sick from. The fries were described to us as "like Kennywood fries". I LOVE Kennywood fries....AT KENNYWOOD. Not with my lighter faire meal. They were too greasy. I get that frying everything is quick and easy, but with such a nice light menu, it really is ok if you bake french fries. \nWHAT I ORDERED: \nfresh rolls - were great. The Thai basil really kicks the flavor up. I didn\'t care for the spicy ginger vinegrette that came with it, so I asked for a small cup of the mango salsa as backup and it was the perfect compliment. I actually can\'t stand mangos, but their salsa was very good. \nwedge salad - was good, but it comes with 2 wedges. That\'s too much. But the dressing and everything else about it was good. \nshellfish cocktail - each in it\'s own bowl: shrimp cocktail, crab hozel and lobster salad. shrimp cocktail was cooked perfectly. Crab hozel is a delicious vinegrette and lots of meaty chunks of crab. Lobster salad unfortunately came with some very undercooked pieces in it. I set them aside and showed them to the manager/owner. Which he immediately took them to the kitchen to address the staff (I assume). He came back very apologetic and offered more food but I declined. I just wanted him aware of what\'s coming out of his kitchen. \n\nAll told, it was a good experience. I\'d love to see a nice drink menu with some signature drinks, maybe some infusions using fresh fruits. There\'s nothing better than walking into a bar and smelling the fresh scent of a muddled libation. \nWould I go back? YES! My friends and I will go back with much frequency especially if they update their tequila stock. \nNow if they could just go ahead and keep out the Bridgeville riff-raff that will ruin it for everyone else...that\'d be greeeeat. I went here for a friends birthday dinner and was not pleased with the service of the place. I like the space. The environment and the live music was great. The outdoor space was awesome and fun. But the service is the reason i will not be returning and this is why:\n\n1. The server was nowhere to be found for long periods of time. (Not sure if they were understaffed or if she had tables inside too.) To the point where i salked up to thebar to order.\n\n2. I was denied being served a product (which i had already located behind the bar by perusing myself). The bartender told my server that they didn't have the product. (Clearly didn't take the time to look and just denied a guest what they were asking for.) The server came back to relay the message to me and told me that the bottle i saw must have been empty on the shelf. I walked up to the bar and showed the bartenders where the bottle was. After this ordeal of ignorance i did get my tequila, woo! \n\n3. The price of the tequila (i found with no warning from any of the staff) for one ounce was $14.00. That is 1 oz of Casamigos Relosado for $14. That bottle cost $52 in a pa wines and spirits store. This means that this place is making damn near $300 off of that one bottle that i, at first, was denied.\n\n4. I asked for a manager and was not very understanding at all. His response to me about the ordeal was that his bartender didn't see it and he affirmed that the price for one ounce of Casamigos Reposado was indeed $14 and the coust of a double was $28. At that point i just asked for my check. He walked away and never returned. [Poor service on a managerial level as well.]\n\n5. To top it off i used the womens room outside and not one toilet paper roll nor paper towel roll was in the dispenser. Also, there was litrally no trashcan. Just a pile of dirty paper towels on the counterspace. Nice enough place. I wasn't overly-impressed, but it was OK. I'd recommend the Mac & Cheese. I've given this place a few tries and every time I think it's just average at best. This last time we had fish tacos and shrimp tacos. Fish so over fried and over battered that I'm not even sure it could be called fish. The shrimp was so small and maybe 3 inside of each. Most places give you three ya is to an order, they do 2! I give it a 3star for the atmosphere |

The wait for this restaurant is always minimum 30 minutes unless you have supper at 5:30pm. The service is good, staff is friendly and their food is superb. I had the mussels in white wine and it was delicious. I highly recommend their pastas as they are all very good! If you don't like to wait for a spot, this restaurant is not for you because it is ALWAYS busy. Whenever I'm craving Italian food, I always go to Grazie Ristorante because not only are they nearby, they have so many different kinds of fresh pastas and pizzas to choose from. I like this location because there's always space and I never have to wait for a seat.\n\nOnce seated, they start you off with a basket of bread (pretty hard so be careful) and a side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The only pizza I've tried from their menu is 'Giovanni' which contains tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, spicy sausage, red onion and hot peppers ($16). The pizza comes out very fresh and I really like the thinness of their crust. One pizza can be shared among 2-3 people if you're also getting a pasta. \n\nFor their pastas, I highly recommend 'Penza', rigatoni with vodka, spicy pancetta, green onions & chili pepper ($16.50); 'Catrina', spinach linguine with grilled chicken, spicy pancetta, diced onions & black peppercorn ($16.50); and 'Capri', linguine with shrimp, clams & diced tomatoes ($17). All the pastas I've tried are very delicious but the only thing I would adjust is the amount of salt they put in the sauce, especially for the dishes that contain pancetta since that itself is salty. But aside from the saltiness, I do recommend Grazie because their dishes are fairly priced and you will definitely fulfill your pasta cravings. We had the termini with mussels and the milano. Both dishes tasted great. However, the service was horrible. We kept being told by the host that it would only be a few minutes, which turned into an hour or so. The wait staff was also very slow and don't refill water at all. It took a very long time to get our bill. We will not be going back. The food was good enough and the prices were fair with pastas at around $16 and meat dishes at $25. However our server was unscrupulous by not announcing the prices of the daily specials. We assumes that they were similar to the regular menu prices but were not. The veal special was $38 and two other specials were $30-$35.We ordered 2 Chardonnays and the server suggested that we should order 1/2 litre instead which turned it to be $32.We had two deserts and 3 coffees and the total tab came to $229 for 4.Buyers beware! The food here was pretty decent other than their complimentary bread service -the bread was rock hard, not warm, and just hard to digest. \n\nThe service was pretty bad here. Our water cups were always empty and we always had to ask for them to get refilled. We never saw our server but rather he was at other tables that weren't even in his section chatting them up. \n\nAnd personally, I don't like it when they hand you the bill before they even ask if we are ready for it, or before we even ask for it as it comes off as if you're rushing us out of your restaurant especially when it's not even busy. \n\nDefinitely not going back to this location. The one on Yonge and Eglinton is better in terms of service and food quality. |

For whatever reason I've tried the same menu item 2x now and just did not enjoy it at all. Margaritas are good though! Nice bar and patio area...I guess if you're just looking to have a drink...good little spot. The END! The owners of Pinatas tried too hard to fit in their surroundings in trendy Grayhawk and focused too much on the d\xc3\xa9cor. Maybe they should have tried the food first. This is bland, greasy Mexican fare that has nothing to offer as far as originality. The chips left a greasy muck on my fingers and I'm pretty sure the salsa was Pace Picante. The waiters and bartenders were so busy mingling with the beautiful people that they didn't notice how terrible the service was. And did I mention this spot is overpriced? I'll go to Taco Bell next time I want a Gordita. Skip this one -- Xtapa Joe's and Jalepe\xc3\xb1o Inferno further north are much more reliable. Okay, two things to start off. \n\n1) yes, Pinatas is a terribly cheesy name for a restaurant this cool.\n2) wow the bartender will blow your mind. \n\nTo be fair, I haven't tried any of the food at Pinatas, but the drinks and the staff are great, which is enough to bring me back anytime. \n\nThe bartender is professionally trained, and has a repertoire of tricks that will stun and entertain. The place is neat, clean, fashionable - totally one of a kind. \n\nI'm going back. Hope to see you there. Pinatas is one of the few mexican restaurants with a 'modern' design. It's very refreshing to have zero = pinatas, blankets or sombreros on display. Pinatas has more of a clean, minimal, slightly industrial look.\nPinatas menu offers slightly 'fancy mexican' entrees. Better quality items with alot less grease. My favorite dish is the spinach enchiladas! There are some awesome Happy hour specials, BUT, at the bar and on the patio beware of the blaring sun. Pinatas bar faces West. (Sunglasses Needed after 3pm).\nFYI- possible melting and blindness may occur while chugging yummy margaritas. \nFry's Shopping Center at Hayden/ Thompson Peak -just north of 101 Not your typical Mexian restaurant, its Mexican food with a twist and is very good.\n\nMy partner and I wanted a place we could sit outside and enjoy the 80 degree AZ weather. It was a mid-afternoon on Sunday and Pinatas was quite empty. We hoped this wasn't a bad sign and were pleasantly surprised when the food came. I had a Quesadilla and he had a Burrito, both were very tasty.\n\nThe decor is funky contemporary and I like it. They were playing a wide variety of music which was pretty cool. While they were slow the server and bartender both provided excellent service. |

The chori-pollo is absolutely amazing; and even the desert menu is good- flan, sopapilla, fried ice cream. The staff is all very friendly and efficient- especially Fernando (our favorite). If you want great Mexican food and an overall excellent dining experience, try El Patron's in Wadsworth. The service was Amazing, the food was great and the margaritas! I will definitely be back as I love Mexican. Glad to find this jewel of a place in my back yard. Fantastic food. Great service. My husband and I have been coming to this restaurant for over a year now and have only had one bad experience which was caused by a new employee. Outside of that one experience everything has been fantastic. Friendly, clean, and the food is fresh. This is the best Mexican food in town. Staff is friendly and fun. \n\nSee you tomorrow my friends. |

The guy at the register helped me with a couple of questions I had, and I decided on the chicken sandwich. *see pic* I was surprised that it came in a hot dog bun, but then it makes sense because this is a hot dog place! I just wish that my sandwich was a little bit bigger. I chose a salad as my side and was disappointed that it was old and wilted... threw it away. My lemonade was great and my sandwich had a great taste...wanted more of it. Let me just put it out there:\n\nThings I love (in no particular order) :\n\n1. Hot dogs\n2. Bacon\n3. Cheese \n\nAnd lucky for me JJ's knows how to put them all together on a super delicious hot dog. \n\nThanks to Amy C, I scored a free hot dog from their Facebook page so I decided to give the new location a try and see what Ballantyne had to offer. So on Sunday afternoon I popped in, the place was pretty busy but I guess that's always a sign of good food. \n\nNo need to review the menu I already knew what I wanted....a WHISTLE PIG and onion rings. Ok, seriously if you like bacon this is the salty goodness hot dog you have been waiting on. I'm hooked.\n\nThere was some confusion with my coupon at the counter, but after two cashiers and the manager came over the issue was quickly resolved. And I found a table in right in front of the tv. The setup is similar to the other location, funky decor (yes the drums are still on the ceiling) open kitchen and a bar in the corner. \n\nAfter a short wait my food arrived, I was a little disappointed in the onion rings. I'm totally a fan of the onion rings because I love how they are so thin and the seasoning is delicious. But on this afternoon they were served up cold. I guess it's because they were so busy, so no problems I just doused them in ketchup. Still good, just wish they had come out hot. \n\nHighlight of the meal...of course was that hot dog. Delish! There was bacon, cheese and mustard with every bite. I am a fan of their buns (hehe) because they are proportionate to the hot dog and it's just plain good stuff. I don't really know another way to put it. YUM!\n\nI'm going to do it. And admit that for now this is my favorite hot dog on the menu. \n\nNow, don't get me wrong there are plenty more for me to try but for now, this holds first place in my heart. \n\nI'm sure you will find me at both locations again and again! This is the best place on Earth. I know I gave 5 stars but if I could give 6 stars, I 100% would. The hot dogs are AMAZING and you can get great deals on Tuesday. I love the hot dogs and they side are just as awesome. They have a great, really nice manager and the place is well run. 3 thumbs up! I don\'t know why it\'s taken me so long to write this review, because I absolutely LOVE this place!\n\nThe ONE negative experience, and the loss of the 1 star, is because around the 2nd time I visited, I ordered the Chips and right after I paid, I watched my cashier go to the pan with the Chips and scoop my chips up with his bare hands. What the what!!! No gloves, no tongs, nothing. The only thing I could say was in that moment was, DID YOU JUST DO THAT IN FRONT OF ME!?!?!?! He looked at me thoroughly confused and said "what do you mean". I asked for more chips that were not touched by him and explained that I didn\'t appreciate him picking my food up with his hands. He was still confused and said that\'s how he grabs them. In that moment someone else walked up, took my chips, used gloves and gave me new chips. I haven\'t seen that guy since & now I look extra close as they make my food and they always use either tongs or gloves.I almost didn\'t return, I thought that if this was how they did things I surely can\'t go back, but it\'s so good, I had to give them another chance.\n\nAnd i\'m glad I did!! My go to hot dog is the Char Hill. Everything good about North Carolina is in this hot dog. Thick & juicy grilled hot dog, chilli, slaw, onions & mustard. The only thing missing for me is the ketchup which I add on the side. Their hot dogs are so good I can eat them with no bread. I sometimes also get the Italian Sausage which is Italian Sausage, Mustard & Peppers. But as I type this review, I am sitting here thinking it would probably be good if I added white slaw on it as well. Yuuuummmmm!! For sides i\'ve tried the Chips & Tator Tots which are both good. They also sell King Of Pops popsicles. Which for some reason are kind of melted and broken in their freezer. Doesn\'t make me want one, though I love King Of Pops. I think i\'m going to JJ\'s today, this review has me fiending!! I love that their bread is also thick and soft. Not thin, mushy bread from a watery hot dog being thrown in it. They have it all figured out!! Go to JJ\'s!! It was pretty good... Dogs were awesome, had the onions rings for side but kinda disappointed- mostly breading on very thin rings... for the price it was really good |

The food tastes old and soggy like It's been at the wrong temperature for days and going. It's strange how can something get old if they are selling quickly. Still I don't care about my money I care about the animals they killed to let food go to waste that's a waste. \n\nThe pieces that should be green on the chow mein were brown. The meat was soggy had quite a side taste and ultimately it felt old. I ended up not eating most of it. \n\nI told my friend about it she told me her sister got food poisoning from the food at this location. I just ate this 30 minutes ago I have to wait a little... \n \nShould be a while before I know. Decent fast food Chinese food. It's close to the house for those I don't want to cook kind of nights. I will go back since the food is always good at this location. This location is clean, especially the restroom which is immaculate. The team members are helpful, friendly, and professional. When we walked in we were greeted genuinely, and this location is busy, 2 customers when we walked in and a line after us that lasted til we sat, ate, then left, WOW! The team members were great showed no signs of stress, just smiling faces, helpful and sincere, Food kept being filled in the warmers. We had the noodles, kung pao chicken, spring rolls, and a drink, The food is delicious as always, served hot and flavorful. Panda is NEVER a disappointment! Thanks! This has to be simply the WORST location I have ever patronized. The string beans were dried up, the sweet fire chicken was stale and hard, the chow mein lacked noodles. To make it an additionally horrible experience, no e of the staff were present. We banged on the counter and shouted out.\nOnly the soda was good! \nOverall grade=D- - HORRIBLE!!!TRASH!!!if I could I would give -5 .we were on the run and we need to grab something fast with this and Mc Donald's next to it, we thought that this was a better choice but we were wrong. Food was old ,taste disgusting,rice was dry ,looks like day or two old. Chicken selection was very minimal on the chicken,looked old and greasy.One plate costs $9. We will never go there again. |

Yep, they shouted at me when I walked in. I wasn\'t super hungry, so I went with the "Joey Junior". It\'s a smaller sized burrito but it still comes with the rest of the basket filled with chips. So there\'s still a huge amount of food!\n\nI topped the chips with a few healthy scoops of salsa from the salsa bar and ended up taking the untouched burrito home for the next day\'s lunch. It was still excellent.\n\nLarge seating area with a TV or two that were tuned into a sports channel. And free wi-fi. Excellent!\n\nI love Moe\'s! Welcome to Moe's. They are very nice here.\n\nI wanted to get a bottled water with fizz in it and I had already bought a simple flat bottled water. The guy at the register said don't worry about it and swapped it out. I offered to pay the difference but he said it was alright.\n\nThat is service. He wanted me to feel comfortable and was willing to let $.30 or so slide.\n\nI always get the home-wrecker because it is two meals for me. I get it all the way. I get so much stuff in it they can hardly wrap it up. If you really want to go nuts you get a burrito bowl version of the home-wrecker and that way they can give you more toppings than you could ever fit in a tortilla.\n\nMoe's seems to have employees that are cooler than at fast food restaurants. They also don't try to hurry you to the next station like at Chipotle. When you ask for extra of something they will double it, not just give you a tad more. I like that about Moe's.\n\nThis location can be tricky when it comes to parking since I usually park behind it and walk up. The parking is fine but if you want that lazy 10ft from the door experience you won't get it. The main manager here that is a big middle aged white dude, didn't care to ask for his name, has the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I've been coming to this location for years and he has only been here for a short period of time but it's steadily declining in the customer service aspect. I came here asking for a simple burrito...he basically gave me a half portion of protein, as the other half fell off and slid it on down the line. I asked for more since half of it fell off, and he said that'll be extra. Ok, sure I'll pay an extra $1.50 for something that wasn't even given to me correctly the first time. Then the people who work under him basically hate their job too. It's like an inconvenience that people are here for business. His shift that works with him, has glasses and sounds ghetto as hell, she also treats people like shit. This place has gone down hill tremendously. But the district manager or franchise owner will probably do nothing about it given the fact that the business runs itself. Stick a couple of people who can perform basic kitchen requirements and you have a business. People are here for the food not the people who work here but they could at least be the slight bit respectful. I hate yelp because people get it wrong with reviews, but this hits the nail on the head. I really only give 4 stars because of value. I used to go to Moes every Monday for about 6 months straight, I always loved it. It was $5, filled me up and tasted good. I go less frequent now, not because I am unable, but I almost feel the quality is going down rather then up like its competitors. I starting eating at Chipotle more and the quality of food is night and day, by the taste and texture. I will prob still go to Moes often because it doesn't taste bad but only on Mondays. At $6, you are still getting a great deal with burrito chips drink and salsa. On a Tuesday- Sunday, I will be getting my quick burrito at Chipotle. First time going to Moe\'s. I went solely based off of seeing it on Undercover Boss. Their menu is very diverse. I ended up ordering the chicken quesadilla. It was very good. A little pricey, but good. \n\nThey were consistent with saying "welcome to Moe\'s" every time someone walk through the door. At times it did lack energy. But personally, if I work there I would get tired of saying it myself.\n\nOverall good experience. |

If you want to go on the terasse on the weekend, its good to make a reservation. Tr\xc3\xa8s bon restaurant.

Very busy place! Tried two days in a row and got in the second day. Lots of people trying to get take out also makes it look busier. So don't be put off if you see a lineup. \n\nFood was more fusion sushi. We ordered the salmon tartare on a avocado galette to start. It was amazing and good to share. We followed it with the Yin and Yang sushi plate to share. No wasabi here. Fusion was a curry sauce and a creamy soy sauce mix. Sounds weird but it was really tasty. Would recommend. Checked out this place while on travel for work. I'm by myself and this seemed to have a very nice outside patio. I could see there were several small two person tables available as I walked in, so was looking forward to some great sushi and nice ambiance. Was directed to a small table inside, handed a lunch menu (it was 7pm) and then ignored for 30 minutes. While I was sitting, alone, and waiting with my lunch menu, I noticed various of the waitresses walk by and bring people water refills, food, and walk right by my table. I felt like the invisible man, finally had to go and ask the hostess if I could move outside so I could at least enjoy the outside air. Was told no (even though I could see one 2 person table outside). At this point, I was ready to leave so just walked out, went to IGA and bought grocery store sushi. Grocery store sushi, yes, that's how angry I was at this place for wasting 40 minutes of my life when I had been looking forward to going to this place all day. After spending a few days in Saint Sauveur and the surrounding region, my wife and I wanted to look for something a bit different. We didn't have to go far. \n\nRight across the street from where we staying (Manoir Saint Sauveur) was this gem called Sushi Taxi. We tried for walk up seating on a Saturday night but soon found out that reservations are a must if you want to get in at a good hour. Not to be deterred, we made reservations for Sunday night and found the restaurant equally as busy with lines of people streaming out of the restaurant waiting for take out while the inside bustled with patrons and staff.\n\nThe restaurant was quite cozy and well decorated with few tables seating around a total of 32 people. The staff were incredible friendly and service fast. The menu was diverse with very creative and non-traditional pairings of flavours going into their sushi concoctions. We opted for the Yin-Yang chef's plate for two which provided enough of a meal for both my wife and I.\n\nA very satisfying experience and we would return in the future! |

Stay away very bad establishment and horrible pub! Waitress was extremely rude and place was empty and dirty to say the least. Tried to have a good time but the environment and waitress was unacceptable and would never return. Better Pubs near by and would recommend you skip this place as it is a will waste of your time money!!! I like this place good music good atmosphere... Best bar in the area... Great service!! I'll come back!! I love what the new owners have done to the place. It looks like a whole new place. The service was great and the food was yummy! Everyone that I went with (me +5 others) all ordered food and everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. Good times had by all. I hear a lot of people saying it wasn\'t that nice in there before the renovations. I never saw it then, but I can tell you that I like it now. Looks like a Sports Lounge should look. Other than the fact that the owner introduced himself to me and it has a warm vibe... the food was beyond my expectation.\n\nSpecifically, they have a meal called something like "Captains Healthy"... something. It is lean chicken breast, cooked broccoli, and sweet potatoes. Since I am heavily in to fitness, I found this meal option to be PERFECT! (I just add an extra chicken breast)\n\nI now have a place where I can go with my friends for the game and while they drink and eat their wings... I can stay in check with my healthy diet :)\n\nLOVE IT! |

Overall, though, the good has massively outweighed the bad.\n\nWe tend to get the bulgogi which (as stated) is either amazing or tough/old. I almost always get a sushi roll or two, as well - and they tend to be better/fresher than you would expect given that the restaurant is nearly always half dead.\n\nOne warning? If you walk in and it's ridiculously busy? Turn around and walk away - you won't have a good experience, they cannot deal with more than a few customers adequately. I\'ve been very disappointed with my recent sushi experiences in PGH and decided, what the hell, give the windowless brick joint at that wacky intersection you\'ve noticed for years and never went into a chance?!\n\nFirst off, decor & service:\nThe place was dark, deserted & freezing cold. The huge water feature/koi pond was drained and looked very sad. I think only one other table in the entire place aside from ours was taken. Our server was not in the least bit friendly. He seemed impatient with us and only came out to get our order, bring us drinks (1 round), then food and the check. No "how is everything?" check-ups whatsoever. We ran out of tea and were never offered a refill. No smiles, no "thanks for coming". Oh, and no music, so dead silent, as well!! \n\nThe food:\nThis is what drags our star count up from the 1 this place deserves for their service and the creepy, empty, cold cave vibe of the place. I ordered some sushi rolls to share and some salmon sashimi for myself. The rolls were IMMENSE and absolutely delicious. We had enough leftover to take home & share with the neighbors! The salmon sashimi was very good, as well. My two friends each had a cooked chicken or beef plate w veggies (good fresh assortment!) and fried rice (I ate some of these leftovers later @ home, yum!!!!). The only complaint on the cooked food from my peeps was that there was not quite enough meat (but from the size & tastiness of the veggie & rice sides, eh, I think that almost makes up for it.)\n\nSo, maybe ordering takeout would be the way to go with this place! I did see a few couples come in and snag take out orders. If somehow this place could brighten and liven up, get some customers in & a friendly waitstaff, fill up and stock the koi pond, it may have a chance! Tokyo Japanese Steak House is a big, plain brick box in an awkward and not particularly attractive location. I'd probably driven by it upwards of 100 times without giving it a second glance. Last week, however, I got hold of a coupon that prompted me to give it a shot. \n\nThe place is a lot nicer on the inside than it is on the outside. It's not breathtaking, but it's clean and features an indoor coy pond. My girlfriend and I were practically the only people there, so we received farily prompt and exceedingly friendly service. \n\nWe were famished, so we shared a big sushi platter and an order of Korean BBQ short ribs. The sushi was quite good - definitely the best I've had in Pittsburgh, though I haven't been to many sushi places here. The ribs were outstanding: grilled to perfection and slathered with a delicious BBQ sauce and amazingly flavorful bits of grilled onion. I'd order a whole bowl of those onions if they'd let me.\n\nOur meal was very pleasant and satisfying. It was a bit pricey, but worth it for this kind of quality; also, our coupon (which they took happily, unlike some places) put a dent in the bill. This place is truly a hidden gem, and I'll definitely be going back soon. I did not dine in here, so I cannot speak to the service or the hibachi here. However, if you're craving good sushi and good Korean for delivery or take-out, it's pretty awesome. The best ever in the world? No, but more than acceptable.\n\nFor sushi, I got a spicy hamachi temaki and the Crazy Horse maki (salmon and scallop topped with salmon, masago, and two different sauces). The fish was all very fresh, and the Crazy Horse roll was one of the best special rolls I've had in a long time. I also had the Kimchi Ghige. As far as I know, I thought this dish was usually more stew-like whereas this was much thinner than I'm used to...I mean it was straight up soup. But oh well, it was delicious soup! There was plenty of pork and tofu, and the pork was just fatty enough.\n\nMy only issue was that the chefs here seem to have a strange aversion to spice or something. The Kimchi Ghige wasn't spicy at all (other incarnations I've had have been bright red in color), and neither was the spicy mayo on my hamachi. Hell, even the wasabi was rather mild. Being a lover of spicy food, I was pretty disappointed by this. I also didn't care too much for the ban chan (something about their pickling tasted weird to me) but I wasn't too concerned about that, especially considering how difficult it is to find good Korean in Pittsburgh.\n\nI do feel that Tokyo is slightly overpriced but if you're willing to splurge a bit to have good sushi delivered to your doorstep, you've come to the right place. Hidden in plain sight and the windows have been bricked up - however, the inside is typical Japanese steak house with sushi bar and koi pond.\n\nI think what turned me off was how incredibly dark and cold it was. It appeared as if it were closed - but there were other diners inside, so must've just been their take on 'mood lighting'. It was so cold I had to wear my coat for the entire meal.\n\nThe sushi was 'meh' - not too bad but not that great either. Hindsight would tell me not to order sushi in a place like this, but live and learn. Reluctantly, I ordered the shrimp tempura which was more vegetables than shrimp. Again, just 'meh'. \n\nMy husband ordered the Korean BBQ beef and I must admit it was rather tasty; however chewy. The $55 price tag on the meal will keep me from going back. It really wasn't worth it. |

Everything tastes SO GOOD. Waiters are attentive, food is delicious... We had grilled oysters, burger, Korean beef and more. Drinks and cocktails are great also. Nice atmosphere and it's a good place to sit and chit chat with your friends:).. Definitely recommend everyone to try it out!! A quieter version of Guu~ but they'll need to step up their game, quality-wise, to try to beat them. Baked oysters weren't as good their's. Everything else was not bad. Not AMAZING, just not bad. This Izakaya is probably one of my favorite Izakayas out there! The food is so good and the staff are amazing! The environment/ atmosphere is perfect. They got Tvs to feature sports or UFC, which is a huge bonus! This place can get super packed so HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND reservations before coming! There is parking in the back and usually I've gotten a spot for the times I've come. Although I can probably imagine a big sports night that lot will be super full so be warned! \n\nNow the food here is so bomb! I've had so many items here Japa burger, takoyaki, edamame, salmon salad, big beef sushi, grilled ox tongue, calamari, unagi risotto, chicken poppers.... and the list goes on! My personal favorite is probably the Japa burgers! Perfect sliders! I've also tried like most of the shots they offer and some are nice... some are hard to take haha. The staff and owners are probably what make this place so awesome! Definitely know how to treat and take care of customers! Every day has a special so make sure to ask! Also friday/ saturday has a DJ that comes in and the music is awesome! Well its up my alley so it works for me! I live in the area and there are a couple of pretty good Izakaya's in the hood. Good food, decent service! Oysters were a little small but I wasn't expecting too much since they were only $1 each. A little loud at times but that is to be expected. Parking at rear of the building. Be sure to MAKE RESERVATIONS! Even with our reservation for 8 PM, we had to wait an extra 20 mins to be seated, so it's probably not a good idea to just drop by during dinner service and expect to find a free table.\n\nThey have buck a shuck on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! (Their Fanny Bays are $12/10).\n\nThe oysters are super fresh and they provide a great selection of sauces to go on the side. We had to ask for extra lemon several times because they only give you one or two per platter!\n\nOut of all of the other tapas we ordered, the only other thing we enjoyed from here were the Japa Burgers (Sliders). Oh man, that sauce is SO good. We ordered them twice, but at $8 for three sliders, they really were not that worth it.\n\nThe weird: I have to mention their Kaarage. They were like cylindrical chicken nuggets from McD's that didn't taste good. Would not order again, no thank you.\n\nIt was a good experience, but I think we'd only come back for the oysters and sliders. Nothing else we got was really that good. |

Here's what we had!\n\nWe split the ceasar salad (meh), pizza (so-so) but the gnocchi was AWESOME! Soft as pillows, the gravy was lip smacking good, we could have ordered another dish of it. Skip the tiramisu. \n\nI know everyone loves the pizza here, and methinks we ordered the wrong type of crust. The waiter told us to order the regular crust so we did. But within minutes, I saw tons of thin crust pizzas coming out of the kitchen for other tables. Next time, I'll be ordering the thin crust pizza and the gnocchi. \n\nIf you drive, go early because there's literally 2 spots in front of the restaurant where you can park your car. One diner nearly got a ticket because his car was half on the sidewalk. The waiter burst outside to stop the cop from giving him a ticket. It was like entertainment with dinner. haven't been in years ,the only reason is price. I don't think that pizza for two with a glass of wine is worth a hundred bucks with tax and tip .Again the only reason I don't go is price and I can easily afford to go but I already have one rectum and don't need to have another one carved buy the restaurant. I worked to hard for my millions and im not about to give it away. the pizza is great. Enjoy but not me or people I hang with Excellent pizza; had thick crust and was yet still very light and perfectly crispy/soft. Had Green Olives on one of the pizzas; overpowered the pizza next time would opt out on them. Must try place for any pizza lover. It was one of the best pizza's in Toronto. Pricey and delivery takes well over an hour. Last time I ordered from them, the pizza was dry, salty and tasted like it was previously frozen. I used to be a big fan, but will have to look elsewhere for a good pizza. |

The service was amazing too! I would recommend this place! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOO STARS IF I COULD!!!!!!!!!!\n\nSo Like most of you on here I like to eat, and I know what I like.\n\nI ordered one day and the food was wonderful.\n\nBut..........\n\nThree days later I ordered the same thing except added an order of orange chicken for another guest.\n\nWhen we ordered we asked the gentleman who had an Asian accent if they even had orange chicken (which I thought would be weird), and without hesitation the man said "Yes".\n When the food arrived before I even took a bite, I knew something was not right.\n\nThe shrimp fried rice was waaaaaaay over cooked like mush. I ordered extra shrimp which was non existent. The spring rolls I ordered had nothing in them but shredded lettuce and like 3-4 itty bitty pieces of julienne carrots.\n\nIt was so obvious that this wasn\'t the same food I started wondering if somehow they delivered someone else\'s food, when I looked in the bag there was a menu from another restaurant called Papaya Thai. When I saw that I completely freaked out and and called to ask what the hell was going on.\n\nI was advised that there is two restaurants one Thai and one Vietnamese, because I ordered an order of orange chicken my food was made at the Thai restaurant...NOT OK. You don\'t order or go to an establishment and order one thing and get something else.\n\nI was apologized to by who I assume was an owner and then told I would have 1 free meal......1, even though my order was completely botched and I spent over $50. It was late and after working 9 hours I didn\'t even care anymore so we threw the food away and we ordered something else for delivery.\n\n3 DAYS later.\n\nI have a brilliant idea to order again and give it another try...DUMMIE.\n\nMy 2 orders of shrimp fried rice had 1 shrimp in only one box, my spring rolls were OK, but my shrimp fried rice had stuff in it that was never in the shrimp fried rice I had even ordered before (both times).\n\nThis time my boyfriend called and complained and the owner said it was his own fault he messed up our order and that he would comp us two more meals next time we ordered.\n\nHELL NO.... \nWe said no, and that we would even bring the food back for a full refund, there was no way we will ever eat here again ever, two free meal would be no use to us. The same gentleman advised us it was not necessary to bring the food back and that if we came in we would get our refund.\n\nSo, when my boyfriend goes in there for our money the owner tries to give us $12.... Finally after saying he\'s not leaving until we get our money back they reluctantly gave us a refund.\n\n.NEVER, EVER ordering again. Buyer beware.\n\nI work in customer service worst experience ever. I refuse to eat or do business anywhere where my money is only appreciated as long as it stays in their pockets.\n\nBottom line complete garbage. Went here last night with a groupon thinking we would try out somewhere new. \n\nThis place was... okay. I really wanted to like it because I like to support local businesses, and the only person who appeared to be working there (an older woman), was very nice.\n\nFirst we ordered drinks, I usually only get water at any restaurant I go to and that\'s all I wanted to get because I knew I was getting dehydrated, but I also wanted to make sure we used the full value of the groupon ($24 worth of food and beverage). I asked for thai tea with boba, and some water. The water never came, the thai tea didn\'t taste right, and there was no boba, although there was coconut jelly cubes on top. Unfortunately I hate coconut jelly cubes. My friend asked for a green tea smoothie, which does not come with boba. It tasted like blended ice, there was no flavor. He also had the weird coconut cubes on top of his drink, and both drinks were charged as having boba despite that no boba was ever present.\n\nThe appetizer was decent. I liked it, but it\'s a little hard to ruin fried food. We had the pineapple cheese wontons, they were served with sweet chili sauce. We really enjoyed it, so we were optimistic about our pho.\n\nThere weren\'t very many options for meats on the menu, so I ordered brisket and the rare beef, while my friend had only the rare beef. When the pho arrived, we were excited. It smelled delicious, but we realized we didn\'t have any of the small dishes for mixing the sauces. So we improvised and used the plates our bowls were sitting on. The broth was great, but the noodles were oddly clumpy and stuck together, something I\'d never witnessed in any of the many bowls of pho (both amazing and terrible) I\'ve had. I also noticed that there was far less meat than in any bowl I\'ve had before. The bowls looked exactly the same and both had only 4 pieces of meat.\n\nI won\'t go out of my way to go here, but I also won\'t make it a point to never attempt this place again. It wasn\'t anything special, but it was "just okay". Probably the worst service I have experienced and will experience. They have this poor woman running in circles helping tables and about 4 uber/doordash drivers. I have been sitting here waiting for my CHECK for 30 minutes. The kitchen can't produce food in a timely manner. Holy cow. The food did not make this worth it at all! How sad. Hopefully they get it together. Trickery - this restaurant is now called Pho Tempe but used to be Saigon Pho... and it's still only 2 stars. \n\nWe went tonight and ordered 3 things. Since it claims to be Thai and Vietnamese, we ordered Pad Thai noodles, Pho Chin, fried rice and Thai tea. You'd think that at least something was good but nope, none of it was good... other than the Thai tea. \n\nThey delivered the smallest bowl of weak broth pho I've ever seen (with only 3 pieces of meat). It arrived 10 min before the rest of the food arrived, with no spoons. The Pad Thai noodles, which are normally a dryer noodle, were swimming in sauce , had very little chicken, and had no peanuts (wth?). The fried rice was... interesting. My dad said he thought it was decent but wouldn't reorder it. The rest of us didn't like it. \n\nBut the worst part was the TV. The movies playing had had curse words, people puking (not kidding) and tons of violence... That's definitely not appropriate while my 3-year old, retired parents and I were trying to eat. Since there were other kids there, too, I ask them to change it. They changed it from an F-bomb movie to the movie that had vomit scenes... Nice. Then they wouldn't change it on my 2nd request so my toddler got an eyeful all through dinner. We almost got up at left at this point. Put a cooking show or the travel channel on the TV! Then you'll have something appropriate for all ages and tastes to watch.\n\nThe Thai tea was good and the interior looks nice but my parents said to watch out for the bathrooms. \n\nI was trying to get my culinary conservative parents into Viet food since my fianc\xc3\xa9, toddler and in-laws are all Vietnamese but this restaurant was a big disappointment. \n\nDefinitely won't see you there (especially when Khai Hoan is right down the road). |

As soon as I came in, the manager of this particular store told me and I quote "No, get out. Either you eat or get out!" I was so shaken back by this man\'s tone of voice that I said back to him "I am getting something to eat" He smirked and continued onto serving customers. I sat down then got up to order my food. I got nachos with chicken and cheese which was 8.21. that seemed a bit pricy to me. I didn\'t really mind but I was still thinking that he told the lady to hike up the price. When I tried to talk to the manager, he was no where to be found. After looking for him, I asked an employee his name. His name is Eric. so I sat back down and ate with my friends. After eating, my friends and I left the store and we\'re talking about out bad experience outside. we say the manager Eric come back into the restaurant as soon as we left and talk to his employees and laugh and look at us. I stared at him and I was extremely uncomfotable. \nthis is not the only bad instance we have had with this manager. other people I know have had extremely bad things happen to them. if you can please call me ASAP because I would this man to be held accountable for his actions. Disappointed with the cleanliness and service. When this Moe\'s first opened, there was a lot of excitement from customers, employees, and the franchisee. I liked Moe\'s very much, used to eat here once or more per week. Over the years, the quality and consistency has declined. I go maybe once per month or two now. Tonight might\'ve been the last time. Walking in the door, no "Welcome to Moe\'s"! The kid Zak had an attitude, looked like he didn\'t want to be there. Bad service instantly sets a negative tone. Zak didn\'t look me or other customers in the eye, mumbled, forgot the black beans on my Funkmeister tacos, lazily put on toppings, which petered out by the last taco. I asked Zak directly for a side of guacamole, he walked away to help the next customer in line. I suppose sides just isn\'t his job. The young women working with Zak put chips in my bag and walked to the register, no guacamole. I asked her for my guacamole since she didn\'t ask, and Zak didn\'t tell her. I paid for my food, and I typically tip because I know these kids are cheap labor and can use the "gas money". The girl gave me my receipt and just walked away. Sorry, no tip for you!\n\nNow, over to the salsa bar, my favorite part of Moe\'s, and it was a disgusting mess. There was salsa all over the handles of the spoons, salsa splattered everywhere (the counter, the glass, the stainless steel, and the floor), the green salsa and the corn and bean salsa bowls were both empty. At least one of the employees decided to try to sweep, but he was hovering around me and sweeping by my feet while I was standing at the salsa bar. What a disappointment. With Taco Bell opened across the street, the owners better get Moe\'s under control if they expect to stay in business. Moe\'s food is generally so much better than Taco Bell, but at least Taco Bell is consistent and clean, and their employees have so far been very friendly. I noticed very low ratings for several Moe\'s in the area. My hunch is that it\'s not the food, but the management of the stores, cutting corners, dirty stores, miserable employees, etc. So many fast food places around, it\'s easy to find someplace else to eat.\n\nImprove the consistency and quality of the service and cleanliness, keep a stocked and clean salsa bar, set a welcoming and fun atmosphere with a "Welcome to Moe\'s!", and keep making good food and I\'ll be back with tips for the kids.\n\nBy the way, I don\'t want to see a response from Moe\'s saying "That doesn\'t sound like the Moe\'s we know", because it sounds exactly like the Moe\'s many in Waxhaw have come to know. Good place for a quick meal. It's nice that you can build your own meal and choose from a vast array of toppings. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and the salsa bar is excellent. Service is decent...about what you what expect in a quick service restaurant. \n\nThey are also community-focused, which is a big plus in my book! They have catered several Cuthbertson school events (teacher luncheons, meetings, etc) and always set up a nice display and the food is always fresh and hot. Allison really needs to be replaced - rude individual. I don't understand why people chose to work in customer service if they hate servicing- PICK ANOTHER PROFESSION!!! Your misery shows - find something you enjoy doing so you don't make others miserable with you. Shit personalities suck! Don't want to be serviced by them! A bunch of kids running the place. None of them seem to care about anything.\nZero enthusiasm and zero attention.\n\nSuch a shame to have a franchise that usually does it right elsewhere to being so lackluster in my town |

Gives an opportunity to enjoy several different wines. The servers were knowledgeable and made it fun. Will definitely be back. familiar with the vineyards they sold. We tried a few flights and the wines were just ok. The wine glasses for the flights are rather tacky though, I'm used to a wine bar having better wine glasses.\n\nFood was decent, nothing really special, but decent.\n\nThe place was rather dead when we went, so made us wonder how popular this place is. \nOverall, the visit was OK, worth giving it a try for yourself and seeing what you think. Wonderful place that deserves to succeed. Food was interesting, well prepared, large menu with good choices. Server was very knowledgeable about the choices. They allowed us to taste the wines too. Comfortable atmosphere with good background music to allow for conversation; not so loud that you couldn't enjoy the people you are with. Nice couches for relaxed happy hour too. Just can't rave enough. Brilliant recipe of simple and comfortable. Reasonable prices for quality! I had a great time here. It is a nice casual place to get drinks with friends. The guy who was there was super friendly and nice, and even patiently waited until my friends and I were done with our conversation despite the fact that we had stayed past closing time. I would definitely recommend! Quite disappointed. I've read good reviews but that was not my experience. Wine was good and half off for happy hour, hence 3 stars. The service was fair... 3 of us walked in and we get one menu. Had to ask 2 times for more menus and we were the only ones there. Food was less than good but not horrible. Had great expectations but this place didn't deliver. Doubt we'd go back |

It takes a little longer to make than your average pita, but those with that extra little bit of patience will be greatly rewarded. Great little spot near my university. I go there for lunch. Food is good and they are so kind and welcoming. \n\nGood job on giving back to the poor. They give away free meals for people who can't afford to pay. The world needs more people like you! We visit in a month we definitely will be coming here! This is a small restaurant that serves excellent Middle Eastern food, they have delicious chicken pita sandwiches with the chicken grilled on real charcoal, fresh sauces, fresh salads and all the food looks good and tastes better. It takes a bit of time to have the sandwiches made because they grill the chicken on the spot but the wait is worth the time. The service is friendly and courteous, so what;s not to like ? If I lived any closer, I would make a point of visiting your restaurant just on principal....thank you for your policy of providing meals to those who cannot afford them.

They have the unfortunate distinction of being in the exact same niche as the incomparable, untouchable "El Pollo Supremo" on University in Tempe, which means they are going to be directly compared to the godfathers of mesquite mexican cookery, and Sabroso is bound to end up in 2nd place.\n\nBut, that said, this place is good. Quite good, as a matter of fact, and I would have no problem stopping in with my family for meals in the future, even though El Pollo Supremo is just a few miles farther. I definitely think there is enough to distinguish Sabroso from its competitors to make it a unique experience.\n\nChicken portions are good sized and fairly apportioned (you don\'t get stuck with just a neck and a wing in a 2-piece meal), and very well cooked, but much more subject to gristly weirdness than Supremo. The seasoning and style is somewhat different, too, and while I prefer Supremo\'s drier red-smoke flavor, I could certainly respect other\'s opinions that prefer the warm, moist and mild flavors of Sabroso. Supremo is a dry but superb assault on the senses with smoke and sodium, Sabroso seems to aim for tender and moist succulence. \n\nI think I dined here many years ago when it was under different ownership and the menu was all over the place, and the chicken back then was poor to fair. Now, perhaps taking a hint from Supremo, Sabroso has signifcantly cut its menu down to the essentials (think whole chicken, 1/2 chicken, quarter chicken, and the essential sides and a couple quirky add ons) and that kind of laser-focus hopefully will keep them in business a long time as they perfect their chicken, and the Sabroso folks REALLY have improved the quality of the chicken compared to the last guys (Correatado?). \n\nSabroso does have some tasty sides, and a good number of them, and their salsa is quite special, although not quite as good as Supremo\'s cold-pureed salsa. I especially like the smoked jalapeno, and I wasn\'t sure what to make of it at first, but when I was done I considered it to be an integral and awesome component of the plate. Good stuff! The beans and rice are on par with the best of any authentic mexican eatery.\n\nI do think the folks at Sabroso are a bit more service oriented than at Supremo, so for the uninitiated, the overall dining experience may be better at Sabroso. The guys at Sabroso actually seem to like to talk about their food and their concept, while the masters slaving over the red coals at Supremo seem WAYYYYY too busy and removed to deal with the little people. Hey, artists at work, do not disturb! The staff is friendly and informative at both places, but Supremo has more of a feel of a roach coach that just happens to be inside of a building, while Sabroso embraces the general restaurant and service concept better. \n\nSo, in the ultimate final summary of the Sabroso / Supremo Smackdown:\n\nCHICKEN: Supremo ***** Sabroso ***1/2\nSIDE QUALITY: Supremo ****1/2 Sabroso ****\nSIDE CREATIVITY: Supremo *** Sabroso ****\nSIDE PORTIONS: Supremo *** Sabroso ****\nLOCATION: Supremo *** Sabroso *1/2\nDESIGN/ATMOSPHERE: Supremo ** Sabroso **1/2\nSERVICE: Supremo *** Sabroso ****\n\nFINAL SCORE: Its all about the chicken at these dives! SUPREMO *****, SABROSO ****\n\nBut Sabroso is certainly highly recommended. Skip your next night at Carlos O\'Briens, Carolinas or Miguels and try something really special! Bon appetit! All I can say is WOW!! The food and service was amazing!! It's not in the best location, but the food is amazing!!!!!!!! Yeah, this place is awesome. They're slinging fabulous grilled chicken with warm corn tortillas, thick, crispy, freshly fried tortilla chips, and super tasty pinto beans. I think this place will likely supplant El Pollo Supremo as my go-to joint except when I want beef as well.\n\nThe menu is very limited including chicken and a burger and that's it, but they are doing what most restaurants haven't figured out, that they shouldn't try to be all things to all diners, they just do the thing that they do better than the guy down the street does it.\n\nStick it, Colonel, this is finger lickin' good. Outstanding, authentic Columbian food. Rotisserie cooked, marinated chicken falls right off the bone. Don't expect Mexican rice with your beans-- just sticky white rice, the best kind to eat with beans. The owner says everything is made from scratch and I believe it. My hands still smell like mesquite. Chuy's is in trouble! I learned about Pollo Sabroso on a New Times food blog and am soooo glad they reviewed it. I rarely pass by the 16th St. and Jefferson intersection so I doubt I would have accidentally found this restaurant; but I will now make a point of heading that way just so I can eat at Pollo Sabroso again and again and again.\n\nThe chicken is perfection. Marinated throughout and so tender. The beans and rice are the best I've had. The beans aren't re-fried and they are cooked just right. The rice is flavorful and has a wonderful texture. \n\nI can't wait to go back for some more...and next time I'm getting the plantains on the side. |

Even the most leanest cut is tender. Can be busy at times (getting more popular) and service is limited (again family operated) but Shirley (owner) is eager to please despite poor English. The fresh fish is excellent too and prices are low. Nothing fancy ... just great food. Probably the best Chinese BBQ restaurant I've ever been to. I ordered the classic roasted pork with rice and wow it's not like any other place. Usually other BBQ restaurants give you a mere 8 thin slices of roasted pork, however, super pig goes ham and decides to give you 16 THICK slices of HQ pork. \n\nI don't care what anyone says about this restaurant because it's my GO TO. \nI would highly recommend this place for anyone craving Chinois BBQ. This maybe the only Chinese BBQ Restaurant in the area. Without any competition, they can really priced themselves with a premium price. I personally don't mind paying more if the food is good. But sadly their BBQ Pork and Duck really fall short. Even not up to par to some of the supermarket takeout quality.\n\nBBQ Pork and Duck 2 item take out rice box cost $8.50. Both the pork and duck were on the dry side. Duck though has a better marinated flavour but hardly have any meat. Pork lacked the charred and umami character and ultra lean. The soy milk that came complimentary has this funny taste which I just trashed after the first sip.\n\nSuperpig does get quite busy during lunch break since it is right next to a high school and offers student specials. The waiters here are rude. One day I was ordering takeout and I was shortchanged. They clearly could not do math and it was only because I had witnesses back me up that they fixed their "mistake".\n\nI came back again a few weeks later, thought that was a one off issue. When I was eating, I heard the waiters talking behind my back in Cantonese saying I was the one with the attitude and temper last time. I immediately called them out (on their false belief that I could not understand Cantonese) and they even doubled down by saying that I was being sour!! What service!!\n\nAnyway there are several good food options in the plaza - this is not one of them! Awesome place for students to dine. Most meals here are $5 plus tax which comes with a boatload of rice, a heavy load of meat, and a few boiled vegetables. The seasoning on the food is pretty standard - the typical BBQ, soy sauce, lemon, or deep fried marinade accustomed to most Chinese BBQ restaurants. Wouldn't say this place is my go to place for Chinese food, but for the price, I am pretty happy with what I got. \n\nThe service is really slow. They refill the tea every forty minutes, which was kind of underwhelming. They also give you utensils a few minutes after they serve you the dish... Peculiar. \n\nThe soup that comes with the student special is bland. Opt for the soy milk instead. |

For $4.99 this place has the best Fishball noodle soup and curry chicken in town. It also comes with a drink making the meal that much better. The fishball soup comes with fried fish skin. Yum!\n\nService is as you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. I go to a restaurant to eat, not have a chat with a stranger. It is all about the food and the price you pay. They bring the food on time and servers are responsible. Would highly recommend. This place is much better than it appears from the outside. Gotta always look out when it comes to Chinese restaurants.\n\nWhat I like:\n- The food is decent, they got a good selection of good seafood\n- The portions are quite large\n- The food is tasty\n- They have four different kinds of dessert: sesame, almond, grass jelly and something else\n\nWhat could be improved:\n- Food was a bit salty\n\nWhat is just what it is:\n- The prices aren't cheap for dinner, but they aren't too pricey either - perhaps with exception of the $38/lb fish that I have no idea if it's cheap/expensive but for a fish it just sounds expensive\n- The place isn't gorgeous, but that does not bother me\n- The menus appear to be all in Chinese, especially the specials\n\nI think I gotta come back for this $4.99 lunch special. Plus they have a 10% tip option on the credit card machine. I was surprised by the low rating, as this is a lunch time favorite when I'm in the area. Packed even at 2pm.\n\nReally tasty and reasonably price lunch specials from 11-4 daily. We ordered the curry chicken with potato and rice, and the duck and winter melon soup with rice, both come with drinks. Feels like authentic Chinese, quality home cooking. Good value lunch meal for 2 under $20. Would definitely come here again. Some menu items are not translated in English, but staff were friendly and helpful. I have been here twice for lunch/afternoon tea only ever since the sushi buffet here closed down. They haven\'t renovated at all as you can tell from the very Japanese decor and the sushi bar at the front).\n\nFood: Not bad at all. I am a big fan of the fish ball noodle soup. The soup is rich and absolutely delicious. The fish balls are also a decent size and very chewy or as they say in Chinese, \xe5\xbd\x88\xe7\x89\x99.\n\nService: Absolutely disgusting. I could already tell it was going to be bad when I walked in and saw all the grumpy looks on the waitresses. Its as if their faces had a sign that read "I hate this place. I hate this job. I hate everyone". When we asked one of them about a missing order, she told us she would "check" but then never came back. We then tried asking another lady and she simply told us it was "on its way". Our table eventually gave up waiting, paid and left. \n\nI don\'t even know why I came here a second time - probably because the fish balls were just so good. Get it for takeout or something and eat it right away. This is a very reasonably priced Chinese restaurant. Service was okay and some dishes were better than others. Known for its lunch specials. We were a large group for dinner tonight. Good value.\n\nGood\nLobster\nBeef with mushrooms and cashews\nSticky rice with Chinese sausage\nCrispy chicken\nE fu noodle\nDessert selection - I appreciated the almond soup\n\n\nMeh\nSeafood soup\nSweet and sour pork. Did they overdo the cornstarch? This was bland\nPeking duck\nAbalone - pass\n\nThere were a couple of other dishes, but I did not try them so no comment. |

This time the food was some of the best Mexican food I've had in quite a while, but the service was absolutely unacceptable.\nIf I had to rate this restaurant on the food alone, then it'd get a four star rating, but when it came to ambiance, it gets a negative five star rating, so I'm balancing it out to an overall rating of a one star.\nI have NEVER felt so unwelcome in a restaurant in my life. Our waiter was completely uninterested in his job, us, or being here. We saw him three times, when he HAD to take our order, when he HAD to get me a refill on my drink (which is when I had to find him and flag him down) and when he HAD to give us our bill. I'm not kidding about this, he never stopped by our table to ask us how our food was; he never stopped by to ask us if we needed refills on our drinks, and worse yet, we had to get up, get our coats and scarves on and walk towards the door in order to get him to give us our bill.\nSuch a shame, because I really enjoyed their food, but I an guarantee you, if you're going to treat me like you are so uninterested in me and my hard earned money, then I am NOT going to spend in your restaurant, no matter how good your food is, because in my opinion, half the experience is how you're treated. Overpriced BS. Combo platters for some beans and rice are way more expensive than what they should be. Just leave this page right now, and go to Cozumel or something. Don't bother with this place. Overpriced, and small portion for mediocre food served by an idiot. If that is the thing you like then hey, by all means have at it. \n\nI'll give them 2 stars for using flank steak. The burrito was small as hell, and the chips and salsa were fine but dude seriously the portion of salsa given to me (to go) was about the equivalent to two of them small paper cups fast food restaurants give you. The chip can't even dip in it because the thing was so small. 9 bucks for this pathetic burrito. I'd rather hit up taco bell and get triple the amount of food for that price. I don't mind quality over quantity but this place is a joke portion wise. The food was tasty, but for almost ten dollars I would expect a bit more. Oh, and I just remembered the guacamole that I paid extra for was turning. Still good enough to eat, but if I pay extra I expect it to be fresh. Do yourself a favor and skip this place and go get some food at the double dragon buffet right next door. Now, as I\'ve mentioned before, Mexican food is not a highlight of the Cleveland food scene. Don Ramon is no exception to that. Quite frankly the food is not much better than edible. For some odd reason I have dined here more than once and found their food to be relatively tasteless and while not necessarily bad, definitely an insult to Mexican cuisine.\n\nMy biggest complaint is the cheese sauce that adorns pretty much any dish. It tastes kind of like Cheese Whiz (in fact, it may be) and is poured on top of just about everything. I figure that it is likely to hide the lack of taste in the rest of the food. \n\nI also have a problem with Mexican restaurants other than Taco Bell that use ground beef in their menu items. If it says "beef", I expect steak or something of the like. Also, taco seasoning is a sin. If you use it, you can\'t call it Mexican food. It\'s just food with Taco Seasoning. \n\nI am generally forgiving of bad American Mexican restaurants if they are cheap but most items on the menu are overpriced and not as large as I would expect for the cost. \n\nI do have to say that the waiter are fairly friendly though not all that attentive. \n\nI would skip this one if I were you. But, if you are looking for Mexican food in Parma, there aren\'t too many other options. El Rodeo over this place any day though if you don\'t mind driving a few miles south. This at one time was my favorite Mexican Restaurant in the area. The quality has suffered over the last few months. The original wait staff have mostly left. They used to have great salsa, now you have to hunt for a piece of onion or celantro. Left disappointed today, not sure that the 8 dollars off coupon was even enough to bring me back. stopped in for lunch before dropping a friend at the cleveland airport and it was fantastic. the food was very good and the price could not be beat. Lunch specials were super afftordable. our server was hilarious and very friendly.\n\ncasual laid back environment. |

Prices are very reasonable with excellent delivery discounts. This is now are favourite sushi delivery restaurant in Outremont/Mile end especially for the price. Yay! Finally found some Montreal sushi that hits the mark on most points.\n\n- Maki are well rolled\n- Food has been fresh every time I've eaten it\n- Delivery has special discounts and is just as good\n- Tried and tested by many friends and everyone had a positive thing to say\n- Affordable!\n- Good variety. Their fried spring rolls are actually quite good too though a bit odd to serve in a sushi restaurant. This is Montreal after all, though!\n\nI'd love to see a few more options without tempura but other than that, pretty solid. Ordered for the first time tonight. Very happy with the quality, presentation and professional service. Price point was reasonable. I will order again. Thank you!! Consistent and reliable! The rolls have always been fresh and they aren't overly stuffed with rice, which is great. The price point is super reasonable. If you spend over a certain amount you get a bonus roll etc. Friendly and efficient service. This is my go-to neighborhood sushi joint. While i've never been to the location physically and cant review the actual venue and in house staff themselves in terms of customer service etc , Haru is my absolute go-to when i'm ordering-in sushi and so i can definitely review their food ! They have such a great variety of rolls (some traditional and some more outside the box - so there's something for the adventurous and the conservative sushi fan!) , they always taste fresh and flavourful and at very reasonable prices with both discounts offered at times and a free sushi roll from the chef when you order over a certain amount which is a nice little touch. They always deliver on time (or early) and I haven't had any mistakes on my orders. I would recommend them to any sushi lover who doesn't want to break the bank in order to enjoy some quality rolls! I will definitely be ordering from here again and again :) |

The menu was relatively creative, the staff enthusiastic, and we were particularly impressed with desert. However, the wine pairings came as such small pours that it was difficult to taste them at all, which was very frustrating as they cost as much as the menu. It's therefore hard to give the restaurant a high rating for value for money. We came here for our anniversary and had the 10 course meal. It's a lot of food but we loved every course. I do not love fish but the artful way that the chef's prepare everything is amazing. My favorite dish was the eel. The chef's unique presentation, where else can you find pine cones as a base for your dish, was whimsical but also brought the food together. Although the food is french, they have a decidedly Quebecois flair to the food as well. The wait staff makes you feel like you are one of the family. If you are able to, we highly recommend sitting at the chef's counter. Not only do you get to speak with the chef's about their creations but you can watch the magic come together. Excellent restaurant. Le menu est classique mais l execution est tres originale. L entree foie gras praline et bergamote est exceotionnelle. Le service est professionnel et le restaurant est tres bien decore. Strongly recommend it! Visited for new year's eve for a $108 tasting menu. Atmosphere and service was good. Food was mostly good with some dishes very good like the bacon filled waffle and others not much taste like the calf sweetbread. Some dishes although tasty, in my opinion were off season like the icy shrimp which would be more suited for summer. But that's the chef pick so I guess there's some good intentions behind it. Wine suggestions were good. Our table was next to a wall that had serious insulation issues, we had a steady stream of cool air directly on us and our food. I have always hated eating while worrying my dish is getting cold. Most dishes were cold or temperature so I guess that was not a big deal here but still pretty annoying. I intended to give it three stars but the rest of my party agreed it was more like a four, so four it is. bad experience in Canada I have ever experienced with bad service, very slow dishes. When I say I don't eat mushroom, she forgets and turns the dish back and remove the mushroom from one plate and give back for me. The desert is bad and when I want to use cash to pay, he told me that sorry, all our clients don't use cash. I can only pay in cash if I don't need any change |

Everything was on point. The Shrimp and Grits were rich and flavorful, with a hint of beer, jalape\xc3\xb1o and Cajun spices. They were complemented by wonderful collard greens and smashed potatoes. No problems, but the portions could have been bigger. Since I live right across the street and expectations were pleasantly exceeded, I'll make it a point to come back. Don't be discouraged by a line. Small place, delicious food, worth the wait!\n\nCalamari Okrachokie is a MUST. Fried okra, calamari, artichoke... with a delicious dipping sauce. We almost ordered a second!\n\nYou can't go wrong with their daily specials-I had the fried trout that came over the crawfish etouffee, and a side of collards. My boyfriend ordered Seafood Jambalaya with macaroni and cheese. Everything was excellent-and the mac and cheese is a must order!\n\nThey also have an awesome beer selection! I can't wait to go back and have their shrimp and grits! The staff was great and owners were really nice. I love Cajun food, however my food was a bit too greasy for my liking. I grew up in Southern Louisiana so I have had a few authentic Cajun meals in my day. By far, CYD has the best Gumbo in the City and I have tried most places that offer Gumbo. When I say best, it's the closest to the dark roux southern Louisiana gumbo I remember. The red beans and rice are good and the etouffee is excellent. Prices are moderate. From reading some of the reviews, it seems prices are being compared with McDonalds. No they don't have a dollar menu. Try Burger King. I heard very good reviews on this place but was not thrilled. First, the service was poor. I don't know if there weren't enough servers, but it took a while to be served. I had the Cordon Bleu, which I love, so was hoping the reviews were correct. I ordered a beer as well. Not the best selection but manageable. Anyway, as soon I saw the ham and cheese on top of the chicken, I was skeptical. Yup, not the way to prepare this dish. It was a little dry. It wasn't horrible but I was expecting a lot more. The mashed potatoes were just okay as well. The waiter never asked if I wanted another beer and my wife had to hunt another staff member down to get water. I may try it again if friends wanted to go, otherwise, I don't think so. |

Service was good, we sat at the bar. The fresh limonada was delicious and refreshing, my son had the jamaica, that too was delicious. He had the chilaquilas, which were so super tasty. I had the Huarachi Camponada, a plate full of flavor and the presentation in itself was beautiful. My husband had the padilla dish which came with a stack of fresh corn tortillas, he was very pleased. We shared the banana cream pie and churros.\nThe pie was creamy, there was fresh banana slices, caramel and peanuts as a garnish on top.\nSuper amazing!!! The churros were fresh and hot that came with three dipping sauces.\nThis cuisine has a new meaning to Mexican food! I watched the bartender make several different drinks, that looked different from your ordinary cocktails. So far the best find in the Garfield District! Great food, best value for really,really good Mexican food and atmosphere. Service is always slow, only thing keeping me from giving this place 5 stars. Every now and again you taste something that changes your entire perspective on a dish. Tonight, the campechana taco at the new Gallo Blanco on 9th & Pierce, did just that. It's blend of al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas demonstrated both a mastery of flavor and texture. Of the two, flavor is the easier to come by - nearly anyone can follow a clever recipe and achieve positive results. What separates good from great, then, is texture - which is a product of great technique. This campechana manages to master both, and the result is incredible. In a sea of taco purveyors, Gallo manages to rise above - this food is important. I think we've found the next great Phoenix restaurant. Love this hidden gem!!! All the food is amazing and authentic. Don't forget to leave room for the fresh baked churros with three dipping sauces Hint..tacos deals during happy hour rock!!! The food is ALWAYS worth the wait! ... which is good cause you will ALWAYS WAIT! Even if you're the only person in there, and the bar is over staffed... you are going to wait. This place gets 5 stars for food but one 1 star for service. I wish they would fix that because the envuelto, the guacamole, the ceviche, the churros... oh the churros... , the cocktails, ALL are so good. But you're gonna be pissed off at the slow service is every time. |

No longer did everyone have the means to splurge as often on white linen, fresh cut flowers and the ambiance that typically accompanies these fine restaurants. Simply put, foodies still desired good food and drink, but were through paying for the B.S. that went along with it. \n\nIn these last few years, foodies became the new rockers. Hip, socially aware, thrill seekers who strived for innovative eats in an alternative environment, yet wouldn't settle for lesser ingredients or sloppy execution. Thus, the advent of pop-up restaurants, underground dinner parties and mobile food trucks. Gone were the costly overheads that handcuffed most chefs. New to the scene were inspired eats without all the B.S. \n\nChris Hodgson's second truck in Cleveland has finally hit the streets after a yet to be aired TV series on the Food Network. And we're glad he's back home, doing what he's best at, right here in Cleveland. With his previous truck (Dim and Den Sum), he's basically single handily revolutionized the CLE food truck scene as we know it. And him and his crew seem to have it down to a science. I've never had a bad meal at this or his other truck. Most everything is cooked to order, sold at a modest price and ready to eat within a few short minutes following an order. \n\nThe last three times I've patronized Hodge Podge has been on Saturday morning at the Shaker Hts Farmers Market. One week it was bourbon souffle pancakes with balsamic macerated strawberries, house whipped cream and mint. The next, it was a breakfast sandwich with sausage, eggs, sweet potatoes and a ramp/garlic-scape pesto. And the week before that, it was an order of 3 breakfast tacos with all the fixings. The divinity and bliss that followed served as a kick-start to my weekend. For three consecutive weeks. I'm not sure what I'd do without this truck. In convenience alone, it's worth a look. But to have a lasting presence in the Cleveland food scene with loyal, repeat customers, you'll need to back it up with quality. And Hodge Podge certainly has that covered. My Cleveland food truck saga continues! These guys were actually at Crocker park on Saturday. I don't know if Crocker Park has an agreement worked out with the food trucks or the food trucks know it is a great scene but they are there almost every Saturday morning. What could be better than some shopping with awesome food?\n\nAnyway I was really excited to see these guys here as they have a slightly different menu than I'm used to from most food trucks. Tater tots anyone? Yes please. \n\nI believe I had some sort of pulled pork sandwich and it was amazing. One of the best pulled pork I have had in a long time. And that is sort of my favorite. \n\nThe food came out promptly and they accepted my credit cards. What more could you ask for? \n\nDo yourself a favor and when you see this truck rolling around in the CLE make sure to stop by! You won't be disappointed. We went downtown and found the Hodge Podge truck and tried the pierogies with an aioli sauce and arugula salad and sweet potato tots! I have never been sooo shocked! Everything, and i mean Everything was incredibly good! The sauce on the pierogies is exactly what pierogies need to make them pop! The dressing on the salad was sooo yummy! And the tots were unexpected but Great! We all loved the food and if we can find the truck again we will stop! I want my husband to try the pierogies but i dont think they make the same food every day. I need to find out if they have a menu i can check online. So bottom line, my advice is - Eat At Hodge Podge! You wont be disappointed. P.S. Congrats Hodge Podge on the race, we were broken hearted you came in 2nd. But you represented Cleveland Proud! Cleveland food truck review #2: the season of (yuppie gourmet) meals on wheels at work continues--huzzah!\n\nUpon being unshackled from my desk at midday, I scampered off to forage for some sustenance, preferably something new and tasty but not too heavy. For an establishment that runs on the tagline, "Comfort Food on Wheels," I knew I\'d be hard pressed to find something truly light but I did my best, with what was left on the quickly diminishing options on the markerboard menu: sweet potato tater tots ($3) and gazpacho ($4).\n\nThe tater tots were served up hot, cinnamony sweet, crunchy, lightly coated with sea salt, and extremely filling. One order could have fed three people of average appetites, no problem. I importuned for a side of sauce and was given something that tasted like sirracha swirled in ketchup. Not bad. \n\nThe gazpacho was similarly served up in a cup that could have easily fed three people as well. Good grief. I snagged one of their plastic teaspoons to stir up the refreshing, spicy, pulpy raw tomato puree ice-cold soup--reminiscent of a gourmet V8 and perfect for the summer--and promptly lost my utensil in the depths of spicy tomato smoothie. \n\nI almost always finish my plate, thanks to a somewhat stern and food-revering upbringing, and I certainly haven\'t been so uncomfortably full from side dishes at a food truck before, but I guess there\'s always a first. I\'ll most certainly back if I ever run into the Hodge Podge peeps again. The burgers (100% Angus beef)--including something dubbed the "Italian Stallion" smelled ferociously tantalizing and sported fluffy, gorgeous, shiny buns, which reminded me of that Filipino bread, pan de sal. I almost ordered the truffle mac (and cheese) but instead was forced to watch one of the truck attendants wipe it off the board, immediately after the three seconds it took me to read those words and finish marveling over what they meant: truffles?!!? mac and cheese! nom nom nom! \n\nDidn\'t order any dranks but heard and saw tons of folks going for their apple soda--may have to snag one next time as well. The workflow/service seemed a little uneven and the utensil/napkin setup a little haphazard. Also, drinks were strangely stored in a cooler apart from the truck. The twenty-minute wait could\'ve been shortened, but until they work it out, I say the eats are good enough to endure the kinks for now. Thank you Hodge Podge for representing Cleveland so well in Food Network's Great Food Truck Race and making a fantastic crab cake sandwich. You definitely have a repeat customer when your truck rolls around Downtown Cleveland. |

Gayleys had a good vibe, and reminded us of Montreal brunch places. They have decent food and prices. However be prepared for terrible service and long waits. We tried to ask for a coffee refill and our bill at the end of the meal and the server kept on ignoring us. Will not be back. My go-to for brunch. Amazing steak and eggs, yummy homefries, wonderful atmosphere. \nThis place has been a solid 5 star in my books for years now. Really nothing special at this place. Food is average and I mean just average. I had the steak and eggs and I dont recommended it as it was sub par. For whatever reason service is slow considering its not a big place and they cook the same food daily. Waitress was nice only reason for the 3 stars. I have to agree with the previous comments about having to wait a bit for the service but the food is worth the wait. The sandwiches are deadly. I love this place. It's small and intimate. I don't like line ups so its size does create potential for this though. In the end I go for late Sunday brunches (2 ish) and they've always tended to my friend and I with care. Their menu offers a little more than just your standard greasy spoon fare, which is fun, but I'm an eggs over easy kinda guy anyway ;) |

I was seated quickly and my food came out quick, but it was a long time before the waitress came to take my order. I was never given a fork or napkin (besides under my drink) and the waitress didn't come to check on me until my plate was empty. The pulled pork sandwich was a bit dry and would have loved some BBQ sauce. The fries were that awesome kind of crispy outside and barely there inside. Just meh overall. I'll be trying other places my next time through the airport Rolled into here pretty early in the morning on a stop over to Quebec. I order the tots and eggs and my travel companion got the cast iron skillet hash. I was worried I made the wrong choice because... breakfast hash. I mean, is there any other choice? Now I can answer that, there is! The tots and eggs! I was not disappointed. The sausage that came with my breakfast was amazing, it tasted like it was wood fired, and was full of flavour, reminded me of the tastes of campfire sausages. The tots were great, obviously, and the rest of the plate was pretty good too. I also tried the hash, it was, like the sausage, full of flavour and real good. Would try that next time. I heard the red Sauce that comes in it is amazing. Didn't try that. \nI really loved the atmosphere here, you could forget you were in an airport for a little bit. Not that you'd want to, the airport in Montreal is amazing! Hands down my favourite I've ever been to. The service at pork and pickle was fast and friendly, and the tables in the back had a great view. Would recommend for a breakfast break between flights! Near Gate 1, this was a wonderful find. The service was impeccable and timely. Our waiter was very attentive and provided perfect service. The burgers were delicious, the salads were very well done, and the wine pours were generous. The perfect stop before catching our plane. Oh, and the super cute robot at the entrance was awesome! I had lunch today at the Pork & Pickle at the Montreal airport before catching my flight home to Toronto.\n\nI ordered a Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich and fries. It was just okay. The bread was a bit dry and hard like it had been sitting out for a while. It would have been nice to have more mustard (or a bottle of mustard on the table). Arrive early for flight, wanted a nice seated restaurant. Found the advertisement for Pork & Pickle Grill, then found the restaurant itself. Very happy with service, selection and price. |

The tacos were great that time but maybe it was because we were starving. The 2nd time around the tacos were okay and tasted a bit salty. Free guacamole is a plus. Tried their carne asada fries (just love that stuff after some beers), Def different than other places. they top it with pico, and scatter the sour cream and guac to even out the flavor instead of just slapping it on there... a bit over priced at $9 for not a lot of meat. but over all, very good. Good salsa bar. Best Mexican fast food in the valley. DON'T go to other Salsita's expecting what you get here at the 16th St location. This is the best one!!! We eat here waaaay to much to be unbiased, just so you know.....\n\nBean burritos, cheese quesadillas, and occasional shrimp burritos are our staples. Make sure to order guaca-pico on your burrito...that's what they call it. And, we think the day cook is better than the night cook, but they are both very good.\n\nThe inside is a fun, divey, middle of the night and your kid still isn't asleep-friendly kind of place. Salsa bar and homemade frescas round out the Filiberto's style menu. If you're not from Phoenix like myself then you know how difficult it is to find late night food. It just seems like every restaurant in the Camelback/Biltmore area closes by 10 p.m. and trying to find a good taco place can be challenging if you don't know your way around the valley. \n\nIn a recent quest to find a taco spot after 11 pm I was about to give up go back to the hotel and lo an behold I come across Salsitas with a sign reading: Open 24 hours. I thought it was a mirage. \n\nSince it was the only place I could find that was open, I gave it a try and was not disappointed. I'm from L.A. and know tacos. This place is not fancy but they are serious about the food. There are various meats to choose from, a salsa bar, and a serve yourself pot of beans (yes, help yourself to some beans). I ordered asada and green chile tacos and they were solid. The tortillas are made on the spot and tacos are only $1.50! You can't beat it. \n\nGive this place a try. They even have a drive thru. We don't have good Mexican in Wisconsin.\nYeh, it's dirty.\nNo , they don't speak English.\nBut the Horchata was awesome, and the food was so so.\nFor me this is more about the experience than the food.\nIt was over 100 degrees the night I went and there were 20 sweaty laborers sitting around watching soccer. \n2 people got full for $12 - I guess I would go back. |

Le riz frit, chow mein cantonais et general tao sont excellent. Oui la place n'est pas la plus fancy mais c'est jolie et tr\xc3\xa8s propre. Leur style est unique ils ajoutent une touche d'amerique latine a leur cuisine puisqu'il ont passer une grande parti de leur vie en amerique du sud mais ils gardent toute meme leurs origines asiatique. Je recommende grandement ce restaurant. Je rajouterais des photos la prochaine fois que jy passerais. Restaurant famialle,\nUn des meilleurs restaurant en terme de saveur. Absolutely the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. I just wasted 30$ of hard earned money. They also made a big mistake with my order. I ordered 2 of the combos that are supposed to come with wonton soup and rice. They delivered the principal plates instead which were more expensive and I did not get any rice or soup and when I called to let them know they refused to fix it. The Beef broccoli had a strange smell to it and the beef was grey. The poulet ananas looked like it was deep fried 2 days ago and then just reheated and it had a very small amount of sauce and burnt pinapple chunks. Would not recommend. Que dire de l\'endroit... c\'est une des exp\xc3\xa9riences pas n\xc3\xa9cessairement mauvaises mais certainement pas m\xc3\xa9morable. Le nom "Dragon Magnifique" est inspirant mais la cuisine ne se mesure pas au nom.\n\n\xc3\x89trangement, la client\xc3\xa8le semble en grande partie latino-am\xc3\xa9ricaine et ce restaurant qui se veut asiatique semble offrir une cuisine hybride compos\xc3\xa9e de plats asiatiques et d\'Am\xc3\xa9rique latine (sans qu\'on parle de cuisine fusion tendance cependant).\n\nLe tout est acceptable, mais j\'aurais d\xc3\xbb choisir un autre endroit apr\xc3\xa8s tout. Best chifa (Peruvian-Chinese food) I've had so far in Montreal! It caters to a very specific audience and you have to know what to order, because your usual knowledge of Chinese food in Quebec may not help you! |

This Southern farm to table stole my heart tonight. Each dish was simple with lots of wow in each bite.\n\nWhat we ate:\nCrab Hushpuppies - Let's just say this hushpuppy makeover was the best I have tasted, a great balance of flavors and you could actually see the crab!\n\nCarolina Dumplings - I went out on the limb to try these since normally I don't like dumplings but these were pretty amazing, the granny smith apples with the ham is a surprisingly pleasant combination\n\nBacon Jam -- it's bacon used as a main ingredient in a mouth-watering jam, don't think I need to say this but AMAZING.\n\nSauteed Mahi Mahi -- perferctly cooking and not your usual grilled mahi mahi, and it came with okra! it was my hubby's dish but I could have easily eaten it all\n\nHanger Steak with spaghetti squash --- best combination ever, I was so happy that they serve steak without the potatoes! \n\nMac N Cheese -- This is was perfectly cooking, pasta was al dente which I have never seen happen in baked mac n cheese. It was a bit rich and I enjoyed my entree so much that I couldn't enjoy this as much as I ususally would.\n\nSuccotash -- Ok, I never thought I would order this but the server said it was favorite so we got it and he was right. It was buttery veggie goodness.\n\nMom's Cheesecake -- this is an NY Style cheesecake made by the owner's mom, it was the best cheesecake I ever had and beat any of the ones I ever had in NYC by a million points. It was so good that I got a slice to go. Very interesting concept. Southern favorites with a special twist. Everything about this place was wonderful. To me, the best part was the "story" behind everything they serve. All locally sourced - less the wine b/c apparently N.C. wines aren\'t so good. If you\'ve got a few bucks squirreled away for a white tablecloth dinner, give them a try. Oh yeah, free valet parking too! I've dined at Dogwood a few times now, and I must say my experience has gotten better each time. Most recently I had dinner there with a group of 6 for a celebration. \n\nWe started with apps, and the bacon jam was delicious! For my entree, I had fish and it was the perfect size and the flavor was spot on. The waiter knew we were having a celebration, so they gave us a couple of complimentary deserts which were delicious and we really appreciated it!\n\nOur waiter was awesome. He was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Another waiter dropped a dish right behind me, and he felt so bad about startling me that he gave me a card for a free appetizer on my next visit - not necessary but very appreciated! \n\nOverall this restaurant is delicious and I can't wait to visit again!! Tasty!!! I was excited to try Dogwood - I\'ve always been a fan of farm to table establishments - reading reviews on Yelp allowed me to scope out a few "must haves" before I even got there. Was another couple with my husband and I - we started with the oysters, bacon jam and southern dumplings... (Dumplings were awesome)! The others were good too... But those dumplings..... I ordered the scallops and hubby got the shrimp and grits - we cleaned our plates! Grits were almost sweet, which was strange, but not bad - dessert was a little disappointing as I was expecting something "southern" (I guess pound cake is southern)? But I saw one evening there was banana pudding and if hoped for something like that instead of carrot cake - or chocolate creme br\xc3\xbbl\xc3\xa9e. Regardless, we will absolutely be back. Sunday dinners just got a whole lot more exciting. Our first time here and we were thrilled with the experience! We were pleasantly greeted at the door by the manager and host... taken right to our table, and had a drink in our hands in under 5 minutes.\nOur waitress, Allison, was probably one of the very best we\'d had in a very long time. The food was everything we could have hoped for and they even made an exception to accommodate me on a menu item they no longer had. The toasted pound cake is a "must try". I have never had that before and our entire group was blown away! Highly recommend this restaurant. Our experience will be hard to surpass! Great job! |

The wings not my fav. Mediocre food and really bad service. Visited several times over the past couple years, and after a string of terrible experiences finally decided enough was enough. Of course there are a few exceptions, but most of the hopelessly incompetent staff will consistently forget orders, have you wait thirty minutes for your drinks while chatting with coworkers by the bar, and finally bring out orders up to forty-five minutes apart at the same table in a mostly empty restaurant. All of this makes sense when witness to one of the clearly inept managers "working" on any given night.\n\nAt the end of the day, though the prices are OK on certain days, the food is not nearly good enough to make up for the awful service and just adequate environment -- which smells like pine cleaner and frying oil. New place in Vaughan, first of all this place is loud very so much so you cannot have a conversation with someone sitting next to you. The food is simple and overpriced. This is not a family restaurant at all. I will not be back. When I have a cravin for beer and wings I will go back to my fav st.louis wings on Jane st. Me and my friends come in and we're in our early twenties. As a server, I understand not wanting to serve younger people but still needs to be treated the same. Our server Vicky, was nice to us at first, she was explaining the menus to us and told us about the wings special on Thursdays. We ordered our drinks and nachos to start with. As we are eating the nachos, she doesn't come to take the rest of our order or even check up on us until we are finished and have to call her over for service. We finally got our food and as we are eating, I notice that Vicky is checking up on her other tables, laughing with them, etc. She does come check up on us and asks if we're doing okay which was really nice of her to so. But 30 mins later and she hasn't come to fill our waters, ask if we want another drink (which was empty), nothing. We call other servers to get our servers attention because we wanted more drinks but that doesn't seem to work. We finally get her attention and order more drinks. When we finish, we have to call her over and this is not an easy task because she seems to just walk right past us without even a glance. She brings us the bills and she didn't ask if everything is okay but just takes our payment. After seeing her tip on one of the bills, her face changes and she looks so angry. As we are helping her take the receipt out of the machine, cleaning the table since we made such a mess... she throws everything together which actually made more of a mess and starts banging shot glasses together and leaves furiously. She comes back to clean the mess she made and doesn't say thank you or even bye. I was going to tip her $5 but she did not deserve that at all. She needs to keep her attitude in check. |

Just... whoa.\n\nWent here this weekend with the boyfriend and a buddy of ours. I was a little leary going in because a) the buddy is pretty hit or miss on his food recommendations (mostly on the miss side, to be honest) and, b) at 8:30am on Saturday morning, there were 3 cars in the parking lot.\n\nUh oh...\n\nBUT... whoa! \n\nAwesome coffee. Just straight up darn good. (Well, assuming you like your coffee strong. If you're a brown water drinker, you won't like it.)\n\nI ordered a... turkey, tomato, avocado and cheese omelette with hash browns and a biscuit. The boyfriend had french toast and scrambled eggs while the buddy had corned beef hash, eggs (I think), toast, hash browns and a side order of pancakes. \n\nMy omelette was delicious. The turkey was awesomely flavorful, the pieces of avocado were huge and I don't know what they did to the eggs in general, but.... daaaaaaaaaaang. The biscuit was heavy, but tasty with butter and honey, and the hashbrowns were hash browns (despite asking for them extra extra extra.... extra crispy, they were still underdone), but... Have I mentioned how good that darn omelette was?\n\nThe boyfriend agreed that the eggs were great, and said that even the syrup was better than other places. The buddy plowed through his food without saying a word, eating every last bite like he had the munchies. Which he may have... regardless...\n\nI'd highly recommend this place to anyone interested in a super tasty breakfast. And bonus points for ambiance - the restaurant is located just north of Sky Harbor's north runway, so we got to watch all the poor souls flying US Air sit on the tarmac waiting to take off while we ate. I have eaten here many times over the last decade. I used to work right next door, and I went to university in the same parking lot. The outdoor patio is pretty cool as is the upstairs.\n\nThe food is ok, but not spectacular. Think breakfast at Denny's. If you like airplanes, or have little kids this is a great place. I only give it two stars because of the cool building. This restaurant is in the original terminal of the Phoenix Air Port. While you're eating you're actually watching planes take off and land, and that is pretty cool. \n\nTheir food is terrible. I heard that one time they made a mistake while filling the salt shakers and instead filled them with MSG!!! I know, right, disgusting. This is a greasy spoon but....\n\nUnderstanding it's not a 5 star resort, very good comfort food. Service is at least fair (sometimes slow but always nice), and can't beat the price. If you know someone who at all is a aviation fan, they will love it. \n\nSomething different and a little bit of history. BTW, the place is pretty big, so good for big groups. Had breakfast at the Left Seat with some out-of-towners en-route to departures. The location is awesome if you are an aviation buff or just enjoy watching the runways. The service was friendly, and the prices very, very reasonable -- our bill was $41 for 3, with extra juices and all. The food was pretty mediocre, very standard breakfast fare with a bit too much butter. The corned beef hash was decent, but likely canned. The French toast was okay, not earth shattering. But after a night of drinking, a greasy breakfast hit the spot, and frankly we came for the ambiance. |

Good customer service. Fun atmosphere and food was tasty! It's different from other local chains that serve Latin cuisine. I really enjoyed my meal. I'll give them a second try. This place never disappoints. The nachos are HUGE, the elite loco (street corn) is amazing, and fish tacos are fresh and delicious. There's a salsa bar for every taste. You order at a counter and take your seat, they bring it to your table. No, no, no. A thousand times no. Had the El Dominicano which was soaked around the plate the second it landed. As the watery juice dropped out I took one bite and had to walk away. Everything tasted bland. No flavor. The salsas barely even had any kick to them, including the Habanero one. How do you even mess up Mexican street corn? Not a fan. I'm sorry but I wouldn't return. Great fresh food with plenty of healthy menu options and local brews to pair with your meal! Their salsa bar offers additional great fresh flavors to top your dish of choice. We tried the "Dominic On A Diet" (so full of flavor you don\'t realize it\'s skinny!), a beef empanada, el pastor taco and barbacoa burrito for lunch and had leftovers. Lots of food for the quality and price! My fave salsas were the Green Monster and the Habanero, but fresh taste forward with a nice bite. Can\'t wait for the Davidson location and hope they consdier Cornelius too! Finally! Our favorite quick Mexican restaurant has made it to Lake norman area. And word on the street it'll be in Davidson shortly. \n\nThis is a quick , affordable but fresh Mexican. My go-to is the nachos they are huge and my husband and I can never finish them. They are loaded in every layer with cheesy goodness. Topped with guacamole. I always get the shredded chicken with refried beans. \n\nThey are still working the kinks but overall it's up to par with the other Charlotte locations. \nGorgeous inside with a liquor bar/beer cooler and lots of fun drinks! |

That said, the horchata and enchiladas were delicious (verdes and morita). It was a low key family type place with good homemade food. Delicious! A hidden gem for sure. The atmosphere and decor are authentic of Mexican culture. Very clean, very festive. Their staff is very friendly and helpful. We ordered to go. I couldn't decide between the Entomatadas or the Enchiladas verdes so we got half and half, since the order comes with four enchiladas. While we waited I was served a sopa de Fideo that was delish! Their tortillas and sauces are handmade daily. Was very pleased. Will definitely come again. Second time I come here and will definitely come back again and again!! Their service is always great and the food.. speechless!! Ive tried the enchiladas de mole, the green enchiladas, their enfrijoladas, they are all sooo good!! Definitely recommend this place! Found this restaurant on a whim. We don't go out for Mexican often, but when we do we have high expectations. This place was awesome. It had been open for 5 weeks when we were there and you can see the passion of this family. Decor is fun and cute while still being high quality. Place is clean and spacious. The beautiful owner Tanya came out to say hello and make sure our meals were delicious. Server was kind and gave us recommendations and checked back often. Can't wait to come back and bring friends ! Ps - Wednesday all day is all you can eat .... Come hungry and bring your family. Great find for a Saturday night dinner. this is a cute, authentic mexican restaurant on the east side.. i came early in the day (1pm) service was quick.. food came out quick and my waitress was nice.. i had the red enchiladas cheese only.. the sauce wasn't authentic at all to me.. very tomato paste-y.. the fideo soup was great as was the salsa.. i just had higher expectations for the enchilada sauce :( |

If I can rate this place a zero, I will. Visited Calgary 2 times now. And visited this establishment 2 times since it was the closest to the hotel. Sushi was ok, at the best. They have a limit of 8 sushi pieces per person on an all you can eat buffet. The restaurant was dirty as evidenced by dishes still not put away when we arrived. Service was really slow considering there is only 4 customers. Food started coming 10 minutes after ordering (sushi) . Dishes in our table was piling up and the waitress placed the new plate dishes over the empty ones. She didnt even fill water without being asked. There is an automatic 10 percent gratituity on your bill. I have been to Tokyo Sushi many times, usually on the 'all you can eat' and although the carpet is dirty and the service sometimes slow, I always enjoyed my meals. It may be price but all you can eat comes with a price.\nThe bento box is a good option if you would like to go light and have something quicker.\nThey really need to have that carpet changed, but the food and service are good. Its fine, good for all you can eat. My friends I go with are sushi epic meal time kings, so its always fun to see what they can accomplish for $24 haha. I ate here yesterday at lunch, but I am just posting my review now as I have finally recovered from the food poisoning.\n\nThe food: It was not fresh; in fact, it seemed like the salmon was a day or two old. The calamari was way overcooked, and the miso soup was lukewarm. The tuna roll looked downright anemic, and tasted the same. They didn't bring all of the items that were ordered, which I suppose was a good thing, considering the poor quality.\n\nThe service: Ummm...what service? I had to repeatedly ask for a water refill, which was not forthcoming. In fact, I actually got up from my table and walked to the front to pour myself some water. Who knew Tokyo that was a desert?\n\nI thought that the proverbial icing on the cake was the mandatory 10% gratuity that they add to your bill (likely because they wouldn't receive one otherwise), but the aforementioned food poisoning was really the star of the show!\n\nI'll never darken their door again, and I suggest that you don't, either. |

We lived off their hot and sour soup (much better and less sugary than I remembered), pan-fried meat dumplings, and moo shu chicken. \n\nAs my wife's unexplainable late night cravings for gallons of hot and sour became more readily explained (;-) ), we'd order in more often; and occasionally visit for their excellent lunch special. Spicy szechuan, pearlescent fried rice, a well-filled egg roll and more of that splendid soup; all serrved hot and fast. \n\nWe took my parents to Tasty. They were impressed. I discovered their Wor Won Ton soup; the closest thing I've found to the late, lamented China House further down Eglinton. I was impressed.\n\nAnd then it was gone. \n\nA few weeks ago, my wife again needed a H&S&M&S fix. So we bundled up and trundled over. \n\nThe storefront was dark. The menus and opening hours sign were gone. Tables still set, soy sauce still waiting to be shared. A forlorn room. \n\nYou don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. While I respect the opinions of my fellow reviewers, I must beg to differ. If a restaurant is goint to proclaim itself to be "Tasty" it has a lot to live up to. \n\nGranted, I doubt it would get nearly as much traffic if it were named "Mediocre" or "Kinda Stale". \n\nMaybe it\'s best if you know Tasty only from it\'s website or take-out menus. A drive by the storefront sees a ramshackle shack of a place with a huge dirty awning, and a side wall that I think vents out the kitchen. The aroma of grease is palpable from the street. \n\nBut if you order in the food\'s not bad. It doesn\'t quite live up to it\'s moniker, but in the right mood it definitely beats cooking and cleaning up after oneself. \n\nHot and sour soup is the standard by which all Chinese restaurants are judged. Tasty\'s is fine; thin broth, with a decent amount of tofu and veg. I like mine a bit spicier and less sweet, but so be it. A veggie spring roll is crisp and tasty, but the filling errs on the side of stodgy, and the lot could have been better-blotted. \n\nGeneral Tao\'s chicken is a disappointment. I\'ve learned to ask for mine half-sweet when I order from a new place, just in case it turns out to be sweet and sour with a few pepper pods thrown in. Tasty\'s version is still too sweet by half; an interesting caramel note fights with something weird and chemical, and the bird itself is overcooked to toughness. \n\nMoo Goo Gai Pan fares marginally better, but the veggies are uninspired and kinda tired. They also include cauliflower, which for some reason offends me in Chinese cooking. \n\nVegetable lo mein starts well, with a fine selection of fresh veg, but it\'s sauce is too salty, too sweet, too thick and too brown. The noodles are just a bit underdone, and the whole mass clumps together in a congealed mess. \n\nThe good news is that food arrives fast and hot, for a few bucks less than the competition. \n\nI\'m not stickler for truth in advertising, but \'tasty\' may be a bit of an oversell here. Ordered the Genral Tso, Fried Rice, Chow Mein, Black Bean Beef for delivery and they were all delicious! Tasty's has one of the greatest lunch deals in Toronto.\n\nFor $6.73 you get a soup, spring roll, main dish and rice/noodles. This is great value for the amount of food you get.\n\nWhy I give this two stars is because the ownership of the restaurant recently changed, and with it went a change in the hot and sour soup recipe, which used to be the best in the city. It is, as expected, a greasy msg filled meal, but the greatness of the hot and sour soup made this deal 5 star. \n\nI hope they bring back the original hot and sour soup. Tasty is wonderful!! I reserve 5 star for the best on earth, but I think Tasty is one of the best in Toronto. Their General Tsao is insanely delicious - a unique sauce you won't find anywhere else! I love their soup - very flavorful - and their Special House noodles (like Shanghai Noodles) are wonderul. They are consistent and reliable at Tasty and the food is just as the restaurant's name suggests! Highly recommend! |

I asked them what dish was quick and fast. So Hainan chicken it would be. 15 min later, the dish was presented. The rice was plentiful but overly oily and tasteless. The chicken was half of a leg quarter... wtf? I know prices have gone up but not by that much for you to cut back THAT much. Anyways. The chicken was the tofu North American breed, very well done and void of any flavor(s). The soy milk had more flavor than the 2. I will pass on this place going forward as there are other selections beside that cater more for my taste. Got the preserved egg and lean pork congee set (comes with the congee, plain rice noodle roll and deep fried dough stick) for $5.50. Big bowl of congee. Fairly good on the toppings. A tad salty. The rice noodle roll was fresh and the proper consistency, but didn't have the sesame sauce. The deep fried dough stick was the best one I've had in a really long time. It was super crispy without being hard and crunchy, and the inside was moist, but I didn't have to spend a lot of time chewing to bite a chunk off. If I wasn't as health conscious, I would have ordered another. \n\nMy brother got the cutlet pork with rice. He picked tomato sauce, although he could have picked from black pepper sauce and probably things like onion sauce or gravy as well. The tomato sauce has real tomatoes in it. The cutlet pork was nice and crispy while staying tender on the inside. There was a good amount of cutlet pork and there was a lot of rice. This one was $5.99 and came with a cup of soy milk. The soy milk was pretty good too. It was Chinese style soy milk, and it wasn't super watered down. I emphasize the Chinese style in the soy milk not to be super obvious, but because I've had Chinese restaurants serve me Western style vanilla flavored soy milk and I almost cried because of it. If I'm at a Chinese place, I want Chinese soy milk. Thanks. Yogi's Noodle has been inside the Chartwell Shopping Centre food court for as long as I remember. Serving classic HK style fare such as baked and fried rice, stir fried and soup noodles, the list goes on and on. \n\nIt's been a while since I've eaten here as my go to place is Hong Kong Style Tea and Fast Food a couple of kiosks down.\n\nFood is pretty solid here. Food comes out quick and hot. Today I ordered the Baked Fried Fish Fillet with a Spinach White Cream Sauce on Rice and it quite good. Still prefer the food at HK Tea and Fast Food but there is a lot more variety at Yogi's.\n\nService was very good and polite. They can be very busy during lunch and dinner rush but they do take call ins. \n\nGood job! We were there today 06 August 2018. I ordered the Hot and Sour Soup. It was amazing. The broth was thick with lots of veggies, tofu, and even slices of bbq pork. This was one of the best Hot and Sour Soup I have had in a long time. Chinese food court.\nThis place was hammering out takeout orders like no tomorrow. Customers must have called in advance and made their orders because people would just pay and take 2-3 bag full of food to go. This made the wait time for my food take about 10-15 minutes.\n\nOrdered a fried udon noodle with beef $7.50 tax in. Portions were filling. Tasted good and had a decent amount of beef. Comes with a soya drink.\n\nCan't go wrong with cheap, filling Chinese food. Next time I would call to make order in advance. |

Ordered a burrito and bam: spicy af. Not returning ever again. $33 on a burrito and a quesadilla. Having visited the Most Wanted Taco on several occasions, I thoroughly enjoyed their menu.\n\nVery recently my son and I thought we would drop by for a quick bite and unfortunately this restaurant is under new management (?). Most Wanted is no more. \n\nThe new restaurant is Very unorganized and needs to get their act together.\n\nWe were extremely disappointed with the fish tacos. Cold tortillas and hard to find the few Very small pieces of fried fish with all the extras. And yes, those extras, such a very small serving of guacamole and sour cream etc. were all priced as extras. $34.xx for 6 tacos with no sides. Wow. Not much of a deal there.\nPricey for what we got. \n\nWill pass on a return visit. Lots of fun, great food and live music. Very nice people working there. Surprisingly great food. We had tacos and burrito and they were amazing. They had tommy Washington playing live. Pretty cool little place and if you like wrestling ... Well. So I ordered a burrito from there via Postmates and when I got it, it was so spicy that I got sick off two bites and my mouth was a blaze. So I drove to them and had to wait in line forever and when I finally got to the front And explained the situation and the older lady just walked away from me talking Spanish with hella attitude to the other girl (younger) and carried on doing something else.. leaving me standing there. So very politely I asked what was going on and she snapped at me and said "can you wait a minute please??" So I closed my eyes trying not to lose my temper and when she finally came back I asked for a refund. She said no, so I asked if I could at least have something else worth the same amount, she said "no I can\'t do that, sorry." And I flat out said "so i just wasted my money then right?" And she said "the best I can do is two free tacos" and handed me a coupon for them. So I was like "okay fine I\'ll take the tacos" and they were hella bomb but this old lady was so rude. The younger one was sweet. So if you go here, sample what you\'re getting before you buy because once your money hits their hands, you\'re not getting it back and they won\'t do you any favors by remaking your order. The carne burrito wet style was a piece of heaven wrapped in a perfectly cooked tortilla. Great spot snd very reasonably priced. My new favorite street taco joint. That's saying a lot in Phoenix. |

Overall I don't have a great love for these franchises. I thought I would give it a try on a Friday night. I've been on a low carb diet for the past few months so eating put has become a bit of challenge. I was surprised to see how busy Montana was last night. I ordered a sirloin steak and asked for broccoli on the side with little optimism. I was pleasantly surprised. The steak was good it was quite lean and I the broccoli was flavorful and not over cooked. The waiter we had was very helpful as well. I like it here it's a good family restaurant. They always are friendly and polite to us. Although the odd time we have gone there it can be a bit slow and a struggle to get the bill. But the food is pretty good and my son enjoys the kids meals. It's a far better option then Boston pizza which excels in mediocrity There's not a no stars option. It took 15 min alone to get drinks and was given 4oz glass of wine instead of 8oz. The glass was wet like someone had already had a drink. Another 20 min I got my food that was overcooked/reheated and had massive amounts of salt poured into it. The portion size for corn bread and sides was ridiculously small. The service overall was terrible and slow, food horrible and management completely unconcerned. Couldn't care less. I will never return to this establishment, I suggest you venture elsewhere. Last night my girlfriend and I were very hungry so we decided to get Nachos. For my order, I had the pulled pork nachos which didn't taste that great and my girlfriend got meatless nachos with extra guac. One of the main issues that we had was the guac was literally frozen and it honestly felt like I was drinking water mixed with guac instead of the normal guac itself. Another reason why I was really upset was because we had asked to put extra cheese on our chips but it turned out to be barely any on them. For the service, the waiter never came up to our table to check if I food was okay. She actually never came to ask us but another waiter eventually helped us out. In the end, we eventually paid for extra guac and extra cheese and left a small tip. \n\nif you're ever going to Montana's (Newmarket) don't ever get their nachos because it was horrific.\n\nWould not go to this location again. The worst ribs I have ever eaten. I can't believe they're this bad, I've been to many of Montana's in my life and this is by far the worst one I have ever been to. The ribs were over cooked and hardly had any meat on them. What meat was there was as hard as a rock. Now what am I going to have for dinner? I should have went to the pickle barrel instead. |

This location gives you the real deal "best anywhere" Swiss Chalet fries.\n\nFor those who don\'t know: Swiss Chalet fries are outstanding, as are the beefy gravy, Chalet sauce, and poutine offered by Swiss Chalet, and you can enjoy all of those with your delicious Harvey\'s charbroiled hamburger at this location.\n\nFor purely nostalgic reasons, as the food is really poor quality, neighbouring Johnny\'s hamburgers gets a lot of praise from folks who are probably too drunk to taste how weak and "straight from the freezer" everything at Johnny\'s tastes. However fret not, just a few doors down the street is the Harveys / Swiss Chalet drive through with much better food, fresh cut fries, high-quality gravy, plus whatever other Swiss Chalet treats you might want to add to your order.\n\nSo, unless you are drunk and it is 1 a.m., because Harveys closes around 10 p.m. most nights, do hit up Harvey\'s instead of Johnny\'s, and get a better quality Burger, with MUCH better french fries, plus no long wait nor parking nightmares of Johnny\'s, just a quick cruise through the very efficient drive through, and ENJOY! This is one of my favourite hang outs. They have a pretty good crew here. I have experienced nothing but the best service even when they are very busy.\n\nThe burger you get is nice and hot and made to order. As expected with Harvey's, you can select your sides with no hassles. Great friendly staff, but can get crowded fairly fast leading to a bit of a wait to order This Harvey's is on the way home from work, so whenever I am craving for a veggie burger, I make sure I get it here, from Harvey's.\n\nThey are known for one of the best veggie burger options in the GTA, and it is true, their veggie burgers are awesome!\n\nWhenever I come here, it's always busy, no matter what time of the day, and I am surprised there wasn't much reviews of this place.\n\nService is still very quick despite the volume of orders, and quality is consistent.\n\nThere was just one time I remember ordering the veggie burger and I forgot to say white bun, and I believe they always defaulted to the white bun, but this time, I got a whole wheat one, which I don't prefer. I have made a note to myself to always specify white bun when I order the veggie burger.\n\nOver-all, I would keep coming back whenever I crave for veggie burgers. I am a burger lover, and I visit burger places just to check how they are. I had one with a double patty and it was really a drag to finish it, tasteless, had to put ketchup to bring taste to it. The place looked a bit dirty, the garbage bin came off when i was there so garbage was scattered on the floor. Not recommended if you are looking for a good burger, i would suggest going to Johnnys which is right beside it. |

Menu seems to contain same food as it did before. Service was horrible. Table of 6 behind us walked out after ordering and waiting....and waiting. We almost walked out. Our waitress excelled at blowing bubbles with her blue gum. Food was good- wait staff and kitchen were very slow on a Sunday evening. Colby jack cheese was on the menu- but waitress told me I couldn't order it because there wasn't a key for it on her computer. Sadly she struggled with the idea of walking back to the kitchen....I'm guessing it will be under new mgmnt again soon. Cross this one off the list of dining options in Willowick. Boy, I really though about what I wanted to write before reading Stefanie's review and damn if she didn't steal my thoughts. I recently visited The Shamrock (twice in the last 2 weeks) and was pleasantly surprised by the 'adorable' bartenders, Ty and the taller blonde that I always forget her name....sorry ;) \n\nRecently I went for a quick cocktail, snack, and to watch the NFL playoffs with 2 friends. We got the garlic Parmesan hot wings and pepperoni pizza. Other then me wanting the wings a little hotter, the size, flavor, and quality of the wings blew me away. They were perfectly cooked and just fantastic. Probably now 3rd or 4th on my best wings list. \n\nThe pizza was also terrific. The flavor of the sauce and the crispiness of the pepperonis were perfect on the not overly crisp pizza crust. I will definitely come back for the exact same thing. \n\nDrinks were cheap for tall rum and diets, and as stated by Stef, nice and stiff, just like she likes them ;)......drinks that is.\n\nThe only thing keeping this place for getting higher stars is the layout and look. It's almost depressing going into this place, very uninviting. Really need to get the Ground Round look out of there.\n\nThere are pool tables, lots of TV's, juke, and 'butt hut' for you smokers. Okay, so I recently moved to Wickliffe and decided to give this place another shot since they are right down the street. In the mail I received something saying they were under new management and had new menu items and a taco special on Tuesdays for $2. So we headed down there for the cheap tacos to give it a shot. When we walked in we should\'ve known it was the same old Purple Sham that we had been to before and weren\'t so happy with in the past. We decided since we were there already to check it out. We saw that the "new" menu was just items that had been crossed out and nothing new or noteworthy crossed our eye. So we decided on the taco special for the night. We were told by the waitress that there was a minimum of 3 taco\'s and they were only hardshell. With some digging we realized that they were $2 each and you had to buy $6 worth, now I\'ve used better judgement in the past but I decided to go for it to give them a shot and see if they were really $6 worthy. He decided on a burger and for once he was right :) His burger looked good but he said it was nothing to write home about. And my tacos, wow, underseasoned, greasy, fatty, and nothing that I couldn\'t have gotten at taco bell. Actually I\'ve had better from the ol\' drivethrough. Needless to say we will not be back, the Sham deserves to be Slammed because of their sneaking marketing and same old lame service, food, and atmosphere. You can tell the staff was unhappy because they were sitting just a few booths away complaining about management and other staff members as if we couldn\'t hear them. I had high hopes but will stay out of that area for sure. Went here for saint patty\'s day to have a drink or two with a friend. Very scantly clad waitresses. Nice music selection- Bob Dillon to Flogging Molly. This is a fun bar but the prices were pretty steep for the quality. The place had an outdoor patio, 8 flat-screens, and a jukebox, but best of all an arcade claw machine! \n\nThere was another claw machine at the door, that was unique. Check out my picture of the lobster claw machine. If you catch one they cook it for you apparently. It was something I\'d never really seen before! The place was a little "divey." warranting a spot on the list I placed it with.\n\nIn regards to kids, I went here around 4pm. The place had tons of youngsters in it! So if you\'re a family and want to take your children to a bar like the one described above it seems ok here! They were running around like wild little Scottish beasts! All and all, I had a good time here, but I wasn\'t enamored. Not much to be said about this Purple Sham location. \n\nLocated where the old Ground Round used to be. It\'s a pretty large space. I used to come often as a kid when it was still the Ground Round. Don\'t worry, the scary hobo clown is gone! \n\nTheir food is decent for bar food which is why I\'m giving 3 stars. I visit occasionally on wing nights. \n\nThere are some really adorable bartenders that make some strong cocktails \n-- one of the only saving graces here. \n\nSo basically -- great service, cute bartenders, crappy atmosphere. This bar could be on the "my version of hell" list. |

Rachel,hope I spelled that right,was great,patient while all of us made our selections,very attentive.Had the Pope room! Big circular table,helps facilitate conversation,even,got 2 wine glasses to commemorate the occasion.Everybody from the hostesses to management,even waitstaff that wasn't waiting on us was so sweet,friendly and professional.I also couldn't help overhearing the staff talking and it was seet ,frienfly and professional to each other.Great sign ! Excellent foid,ss always! Thanks again! Sherri H. I am not a chain restaurant fan, but we arrived at Station Square and there weren't many choices since many of the restaurants are now closed. We were a party of 4 and none of us had been here for years and years, so we weren't sure how much to order. Our server took our drink order and they came in a timely manner. We started with a salad, which was the perfect amount for all of us. We then asked if we should be getting 2 or 3 orders for us. She thought 3 was the right number for us. She was so wrong. We could have easily shared 2 and still had leftovers. I feel like we wasted $24 on a meal. We had the chicken Parmesan, the rigatoni and the ravioli. The chicken Parmesan was definitely the best. Raviolis were just ok. The rigatoni was a humongous portion and actually would have fed the 4 of us. We were all stuffed and my brother took all the leftovers, but likely never ate them. We ate here to celebrate my sons birthday - it was our whole reason for a trip to Pittsburgh. \nWe told the manager it was his birthday when he came asking if everything was going well prior to receiving our meals. \nNo singing, no ice cream, nothing... Just a mediocre meal. \nI doubt we come back on our next visit - if you can dis an 8 yrs old, you've quit giving a crap.\nLots of recent negative reviews here on yelp about this location. As a family we have always loved Buca Di Beppo at any location. The food is great, the service has always been excellent, however, the wait time for food delivery and the final bill, keeps us remembering why we come and will we return. Over all the experience of Buca Di Beppo is wonderful !! We love the family style dining and have made reservations for years for all occasions. The price isn't bad for what you receive as well as discounts and coupons are everywhere if you look for them. \n\nI know with all this being said we as a family will return. I visited the station square location (the second time I ever visited a Buca di Beppo period) this past saturday for my bf\'s niece\'s 18th birthday late lunch/early dinner. I expected it to be on par with Olive Garden (which I\'m not a fan of the "commercialized" Italian places) but I agreed with the reasoning behind going here-we were a party of 11, the food is family style, and there should be enough variety ordered for everyone. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. First I will say, we should have been seated elsewhere. We were, again a party of 11, that was cramped into the back corner of the basement (near the bar), and anytime someone had to get up to use the restroom, there would be a lot of shuffling and getting up amongst everyone. Considering it was 3pm, it was not crowded at all and we could have been sat elsewhere. Our server, Cody, was very efficient-constantly refilling drinks, getting new plates,etc. For appetizers we ordered:the artichoke florentine dip,the fried calamari,the stuffed mushrooms, and the mozzarella garlic bread. In particular, the stuffed mushrooms were excellent (the sage and rosemary flavors were very prevalent) as was the artichoke dip. This was just enough food to satisfy until the entrees arrived. For salads we ordered an apple gorgonzola salad ,which was excellent but is very commonplace at restaurants currently, and a mixed greens salad. As for entrees: the prosciutto stuffed chicken, the veal marsala (my favorite-the sauce was sweeter than a typical marsala and paired excellently with the veal),chicken and sausage ziti (the sausage had a little surprising kick to it although it was supposed to be the mild sausage),spaghetti with meatballs ( I did not sample this but looked basic minus the gigantic meatballs),vegetable lasagna (I did not partake in this either),stuffed shells (I particularly enjoyed the sausage in them). We did bring our own dessert so I cannot comment on that either but I will say my expectations were far exceeded with the quality of the food since this is a "chain restaurant". Our party also got a kick out of the decor! |

Very clean, attentive service, and friendly staff. The staff here are truly amazing and deserve all the credit at this location and others as well. The staff always make sure your coffee is full and everything is going well. \n\nFood wise, I have absolutely no complaint. Always well prepared and seasoned. One of my favorites is the Nachos. Thinking of this make me hungry. I was craving for a nice omelette, Dennys came to mind. \n\nWe walked into Dennys thinking we'd order, eat, pay and be out within 45mins-1 hour. Mind you, at the time, there were less than 5 tables seated in the restaurant. It took 5 mins before someone dropped off the menus. And 10 for the water to come. While ordering, the waiter asked us to repeat the order 3 times. Another 20 mins for the food to be brought to the table. \n\nThis place took foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorever. One of the waitresses kept on apologizing as we were waiting, she couldn't take our orders or help us because she was getting off soon. She was still there when we left, so mmmh?? \n \nAnyway, we ended up taking the food to go when it finally came, it was way too hangry. And by the time I got to eat, i didn't enjoy my omelette because it was cold and gross. Below average Dennys. My toast was weird. Thin and crunchy almost cracker like. Food was slow to arrive and it wasn't busy. was never offered a refill on my drink. Food was ok. Nothing great. Other Dennys are way better Horrible service, filthy and complete unorganized staff.\nTook us an hour to he our order, not exactly what we ordered.\nFood and Coffee were cold.\n\nDon't recommend this place at all! Nice restaurant with good fast service. I love Denny's breakfast, and was not disappointed this time either. |

The server forgot the silverware the food came before the silverware. My son had to hunt down the server Lenna for silverware. The dish was bigger then the food. Over all average for Denny. I like the food at Denny's more than meals served at pricier restaurants. My favorite is the Bourbon Chicken Skillet. Even though it isn't advertised as being gluten-free, it doesn't have any ingredients containing wheat- just chicken, potatoes, and broccoli in a yummy Jack Daniels sauce. Both Eat n Park and Max and Erma's have gone downhill in the past few years, but the food at Denny's has gotten better. Always great customer service and never a wait for a table.\n\nThey have leaned back in to breakfast with a smaller lunch/dinner menu. I am partial to the sandwiches, namely the grilled Tuscan chicken sandwich! \n\nMy only gripe is with their salads. I always like to get a side salad with my sandwich, but at Denny's it is hit-or-miss with me having to pick out a few pieces of wilted/gummy lettuce or mushy grape tomatoes. There isn't much of a demand, sure, but it's disappointing that there's not more attention to detail with their fresh vegetables. Went for breakfast on 6/16/14. We received very good service and meal came within a few minutes.Waitress could have smiled more but was friendly. \nI had a Grand Slam... it was more than enough food. \nMeal was very tasty... We will definitely go back. \nIt is a popular Denny's. Unacceptable!!!!! I first received my "medium well" steak bloody as hell!! I send it back, and received this!!!! DONE!!!!!! |

But we went to an Indians game and the Melt stand was completely closed and had the baricades around it is how I'll describe it. Tweeted melt... Didn't hear back. so just to be clear, this is the melt stand at Jacobs field. Menu looked comparable in price to regular melt stores. No info online let me know if it hadn't worked out? Also nothing on melt website? And no response? = 1 star - just so people know if they make a special trip for melt, that we were unsuccessful in visiting this location, but game was good - go Tribe. I have been to actual Melt locations and purchased sandwiches with a mound of fries from them for the same price that I purchased a half of two slices of bread with about a quarter of the fillings. My fianc\xc3\xa9 got the kindergarten and it was three slices of American cheese. Extremely disappointed with the size of the sandwiches and the lack of the accompaniments that were with it for the price that was only a buck less than a regular location. Expecting something more than a half sandwich with mushrooms and cheese for $10. No meat $10? How about $7 with no meat. The shredded pork half sandwich is also $10. Chips come with all, but most food stands include chips, which I like. Was good. Just expensive. But so is the restaurant. This place does not even deserve to be called a Melt!! I got a simple "Kindergarten" and the bread was somehow both soggy and stale, barely hot when I picked it up, the cheese wasn\'t melted all the way (!) and ended up having a gummy consistency like it had been microwaved. It was a half sandwich (by normal standards, not Melt standard) and I still didn\'t finish it because it was so bad. Huge disappointment. Transplanting the tasty ingredients (or at least 10 sandwiches\' worth of them), but few of the charming accoutrements of the home base establishments, the Gateway Melt outpost feels a little bit like a fast food joint wherein speed dwarfs heart, and the staggering list of eclectic add-ons has been sliced and diced down to its bare essentials. "Where\'s the soul?" Patrons asked the other day during lunch rush. "I\'ve found the cheese (and I\'m drooling over it), but where\'s the old school spark of vitality?" Indeed, everything without direct purpose seems to have been jettisoned: gone are the jolly holiday decorations, ditto the cutesy vinyl cover menus (the latter for obvious reasons--a date-night establishment this is not). Orders are now taken on check-list cards and the menu, as mentioned, is limited to the heavy hitters (mushroom, chorizo, BBQ, etc.) The cheese and thick-sliced bread remain, naturally, and they\'re still undeniably delicious. How Melt makes their American cheese so much like a synecdoche of the country itself: rich and robust and shiny bright, will forever be a mystery. Sadly, the sandwiches themselves are often less than the sum of their parts: slapped together assembly-line style and slopped into take-out boxes with a handful of fries salty enough to inspire tongue lesions. Vegetarians would do well to steer clear of the veggie burger, which was somehow both gummy and dry at the same time. The wait at high noon, while not as hideous as say Barrio\'s (which has been known to produce scads of Methuselahs daily), was nonetheless protracted. It should be noted that food is made as tickets go in, with no real regard for dining parties, so members of your lunch group could be served in a staggered way if you don\'t all take pains to order simultaneously. This might seem trivial, but at least one guest was served a good fifteen minutes after his companions on a recent visit. With only an hour to spare for lunch, many people would see this as a real inconvenience. Still, though this joint is David Foster Wallace melted down to Hemingway, it is still the same product in essence as can be found in the many larger flagship stores. The veggies are fresh and the sandwiches are reasonably priced for their apocalyptic enormity. If you wake up at your desk some afternoon screaming, \'I\'m as hungry as heck, and I\'m not going to take it anymore!\' you can do a lot worse. |

I have been here more then a couple dozen times I can't go wrong with this place. If you want fresh delicious Chinese food you should definitely come here, there's a few tables on the inside I eat in and take out. See you next time Was really good Americanized Chinese food. I had Singapore mai fun. Fast and fresh, even late at night. The steamed dumplings were very good. Would eat here again... Love this place! We routinely get the wonton soup which is the best anywhere....simple with homemade wontons and flavorful broth. Dumplings are homemade and best in the North. Crab Rangoon is good as well. Haven't had many entrees as my daughter is in love with wontons. The family is great and the daughters are very polite and well behaved. Very mediocre food with painfully slow service during lunch. My Kung Pao chicken had breaded chicken and no peppers?!? Dominate flavor: Salt.\n\nThe lunch special prices are good but next time I would pay more to go somewhere else. Wow!!!\n\n Found our new take-out place!! \n\nWe ordered three different things and they were all delicious. Tangerine beef is sweet and mildly spicy, but they will up the heat if you ask. The house sauce on the Happy family is delicious with the right amount of seasonings. Plenty of the different meats in the happy family. Sesame chicken and the tangerine beef were both deep fried, and even with the sauces still had a nice crispy coating to them. Their fried rice is very simple, no overpowering spices that clash with your meal. \n\nThe food was carefully packed, and still really hot when I got it home. \n\nWe ordered dinner, but they also have lunch specials for under $6 that come with fried rice, soup, entree and soda. |

The place is big and wasn't super busy so we got right in. You can tell its new, its super clean. The waiters were beyond nice, and the place itself is so different from other mexican restaurants we've been too (which is a lot) Its open, bright and modern without being stuffy or cheesy. \nI ordered the Pollo la Crema, which I always try at any mexican place we go, and it was great! The chicken was tender and not chewy or gross. It was packed with 3 different colors of peppers and broccoli (which is a nice spin on the dish) I asked for no onions, and got no onions. The beans and rice had flavor and the portion was a great size. We ordered the regular margaritas as well and they were really tasty. Not too boozy, but could def. tell there was alcohol in it. \nThe staff was super friendly and checked on us enough but not too often to be annoying.\nOverall, a great friday night dinner and an awesome addition to the area. Now we know where to eat when we go to IKEA!! We visited the newest Mi Pueblo location tonight for their soft opening (dinner hours only) and while it certainly had some hiccups it was still a nice evening with a decent meal. \n\nWe arrived a little after seven and were promptly seated. The new building is quite impressive inside and out. If you've ever been to the Mi Pueblo in Afton Ridge think something similar in style but on a grander scale. They have waterfall fountains in the main dining area! Pretty neat. \n\nOur drink order was taken and after a little Coke or Pepsi menu confusion our waiter mentioned it was his first night working. Not a big deal, new restaurant. Sweet tea was really good. Well brewed, not bitter. Unfortunately that was kind of where the snowball started rolling downhill. \n\nComplimentary chips and salsa were brought out and while the salsa was decent the chips were unsalted and a little bland. Then the wait. \n\nIt was almost right at forty minutes before our food arrived. Now again, new restaurant, soft opening, things happen. That being said they weren't overly busy, just a normal weeknight dinner service, so the delay was a little disappointing. \n\nIn what seems to be an annoying if not slightly amusing trend with my household only my dish was brought out incorrect. My quesadilla was absolutely smothered in peppers and onions when I had asked for neither of those things. To the waiter's credit he apologized and I had a correct dish in less than five minutes (although that did make me wonder why it took so long to get our dishes in the first place). \n\nDespite all the fuss, once I actually got to eat it was wonderful. Chicken quesadilla with plenty of both juicy chicken and fresh cheese, encased in a toasted flour tortilla, packed with flavor. Spanish rice on the side was somehow light and rich at the same time and complimented the dish well. Some of my favorite rice I've had at a restaurant. \n\nMy only other complaint was the apparent lack of communication among the staff. We had three separate employees, one of which I'm fairly certain was the manager, ask us if we would like refills for our drinks at various points during the night, but they would often never come back. More than once we waited over fifteen minutes with empty cups after refills had been offered by someone before getting a fresh glass, not necessarily from the same person. \n\nI hope the staff here can work out the first day jitters and shore up the quality of service a little because most of the food here is certainly worth a visit. Time will tell. We made reservations in advance for their soft opening night and were suppose to receive 30% off. Before I get to that, I do have to say that service was fast, friendly, and the food was fresh. My only concern was that we did not receive the 30% off as promised. We thought the hostesses would have communicated that with the servers in advance, but our server didn't know and we had to tell her after she had already brought out the bill. After she made the adjustment, it turned out that she only took off $7 from our $39.64 (pre-tax) bill... which is not 30% off. We decided not to say anything as it was starting to get busy and we didn't want to inconvenience her. It's really no big deal but we just felt a bit deceived that we didn't get what we were told. Nonetheless, I think it was an honest mistake and we plan on going back one day. This was my first time here and it's sad to say I had high hopes. First I order a frozen margarita and they bring it on ice. I nicely ask again to have a frozen margarita. I literally get back the same margarita with no ice. I then receive my fajitas and all my shrimp is burnt, and steak is dry. Horrible experience. The queso dip was good and the rice and beans My boyfriends steak and coconut shrimp came out alright. other than that I wouldn't recommend. My husband and I visited Mi Pueblo for the first time on 11/11/2018, Ikea Blvd. location. We were warmly greeted and seated to our table, very nice restaurant, nice decor and I can't say enough about the delicious food and our greater than great server, Jose. We asked for recommendations and were not disappointed with our selection!! His service and warm, friendly personality made our meal even more enjoyable. We definitely be visiting again and bringing family and friends along for delicious Mexican cuisine. |

The original location on Northsight (now closed) run by Robert that is. Now that they've franchised, not so good any more. Something got lost in the translation from an owner that truly cares to a franchisee.\n\nWe wanted a somewhat quick meal before we hit a movie. I have to give them two stars because 1) they had a huge table of about 25 people 2) they just opened. BUT, when the people that looked to be in charge are standing around chatting when they have one table of 25 people it just shows they don't have the customer service skills needed to run a restaurant. When a huge group comes in it should be ALL HANDS ON DECK, not business as usual.\n\nAdd to that my meal came out 10 minutes before my partner's (he waited 20 minutes for his) and mine had a piece of plastic wrap in it. Now we know they have a ways to go before all of the kinks are worked out. \n\nUltimately the did the right thing and refunded our money, but I didn't get lunch and my partner had to rush his since we ran out of time to get to the movie.\n\nHopefully they get their act together. Walk in, order, self-seat and self- serve.\n\nOrdered Penne with marinara and sausage.\nThe pasta was kind of on the moderate $ range, 6 bucks ish.\nand it was bland. Lacked seasoning and texture.\n\nThey were really friendly tho,... its a pity the food was crappy.\n\nI can cook pasta better than them and trust me I am am horrible This place was pretty good. Much better than the average mall location restaurant. I found my self using the dinner roll to wipe out the last bits of tomato sauce from the bowl of pasta. I must have looked like a deer in the headlights when I entered Meatballz because they asked if it was my first time in as they gave me a menu. It was my first time at this location. I decided to make a road trip from my office and go over to Desert Ridge to take in the views and the great weather we are having today.\n\nI ordered my usual sausage roll which was delicious. Great customer service as well as they brought out silverware and napkins to me out on the patio. However, I thought $9.84 for a Sausage Roll and a drink for lunch was a little too steep so I knocked off a star. But the patio was perfect and definitely geared for people watching. I had such high hopes for Meatballz. \n\nI visited this location around 2:30-ish and the place was empty. I ordered the sausage sub which was served promptly but at best it was bland. Actually, I thought they had made a mistake and given me a meatball sub. Italian sausage meat normally has some character, but this tasted more like breadcrumbs. \n\nIf I'm in the area again I might give them another try, but I was pretty underwhelmed by the place and the $7.60 sub. \n\nSorry! |

Their new place has a bit more room. FWIW the staff, service and food are awesome. This is one of the best family restaurants I have ever eaten at. Restaurant moved to a new location and my first time here. I heard many great reviews from friends who have been and couldn't wait you try it out. I had a tomato salad to start and was good. I tried the shrimp and scallop risotto as my main and found it mediocre. The risotto was flavorful but the rice was not so traditional. The scallops was cooked perfectly but I found the shrimp a little overdone. It was paired with a 2007 Planeta Shiraz which was nice. \n\nOverall, I liked the decor and the good service. I appreciated the owner hosting us and being extremely curious and friendly\nL. When you wanna step it up a bit from your typical trip to the Olive Garden this is the place to go for some great Italian food. \n\nEvery dish that I have tried here has been beyond enough to keep me coming back. The food and ingredients are so fresh, I hear that the owner weekly takes a row boat with his sons back to Italy to hand pick the freshest ingredients for the upcoming week... This may or may not be true. But the food is still great. Check it out! Wonderful Italian in this Scottsdale gem...you feel like you've stepped into Italy in this Strip mall restaurant... Wonderful food and service. It's a bit pricey though or sit at the bar and enjoy a talk with the locals. Most overcooked pasta ever had in my life........one good thing was the appetizer with scallops and saffron....not enough to make me go back. |

The location is great and had a wonderful view of the Pittsburgh skyline. The picture I posted doesn't reflect it properly. The host sat us in a wonderful seat, we didn't have a reservation, and Lani was our server. We where immediately greeted, however service was slow throughout the rest of the meal as we never received water refills and it took us a while to order our drinks after putting in our food order. The food however was delicious. My sister and I split the crabcakes which were huge and perfect to share. My brother had spaghetti and meatballs which had a nice flavored sauce and my mother had the squash with scallops that were yummy. We ordered dessert, having cheesecake, cr\xc3\xa8me br\xc3\xbbl\xc3\xa9e, and tiramisu. We had two Groupon for $20 but we're only allowed to use one, however Lani was very nice and had the Manger signed the other one so we could use it at a future visit. Overall great experience even if the service was slow, I will return. We went here for a friends birthday. I had the goat cheese and beat salad with steak. The steak that was in the salad was tasteless and "fatty". For a lack of better words I had to "spit out" the steak in my napkin because it was so chewy and fatty. They never asked what kind of dressing I wanted. I just assumed it would come with a vinegar based dressing. The salad came with ranch. Goat cheese and ranch do not go well together ....I would have definitely chosen a different meal. But I was not that hungry that\'s why I chose the salad option ... for $17 dollars. The only reason I\'m giving this place 3 stars is the service was fast and friendly and my husbands veal parmigiana was tasty. And they gave my friend a wine glass filled with cotton candy for his birthday. I would definitely go with another option . Overpriced We walked to the restaurant after taking the Incline to the top of the mountain. It happened to be the first place open and we walked in around lunch time. Seven of us say at the bar and enjoyed the view. The place is really dated but the food and service was great! We ordered a bunch of appetizers. Recommend! My parents and I are from outside of Pittsburgh and went to the Tin Angel (former restaurant here) for special occasions. It was my parents' 40th anniversary, and they wanted to be in the same place where they had so many fond memories -- and the best view! They were glad they could get a reservation easily for the time they wanted and were really happy with how clean and well run the restaurant is. The staff really made their anniversary special with great presentation (sparklers!). And they said their food was great -- filet, salmon, asparagus, potatoes, chocolate cake. They were really pleased and said how nice everyone was and how hard they were working. My dad texted me a photo of the view. Can't wait to go when I'm in town! Excellent service, food and cocktails! This is one of the three best fine-dining restaurants with a city view on Mt. Washington, along with Altius and Monterey Bay. |

The styles of the food menu and physical store layout are rather similar. We went during the late afternoon on a Thursday, and there was no line. Drink options were limited as there were no fountain drink options, just bottled drinks. This particular store was very clean, and I enjoyed the eco-friendly design. I had more food than I could eat in one sitting, and the gentleman behind the counter was very kind in wrapping up my food for me. I heated up my burrito bowl more than a day later, and it was just as good when I first bought it. This is a pretty good spot for a reasonably priced Mexican-style fast-food meal on King St. It's essentially an establishment in the spirit of Chipotle and Q-Doba in that you can instruct the person behind the counter how to build your bowl, burrito, etc. while you watch. My first visit to a Z-teca was in Madison, WI. I was very favorably impressed as it was the first time I had tried a place like this. That franchise was purchased by Q-Doba, however, and it has been a long time since I have seen a Z-teca, let alone patronize one.\n\nThe location on King St. is convenient in that it is easy to find in a heavily trafficked area and is set among a plethora of other dining and retail activity. The facility is nothing special but it is clean and offers decent seating capacity. I went in on a Thursday evening and and there were perhaps four or five other parties, mostly dining alone, which allowed for a quiet atmosphere. The service was timely and polite.\n\nI tried a bowl with chicken containing my choice of options. I was happy with the taste as the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The price was more than reasonable as my bowl along with a sparkling water and a small tip was only $14 CAD. Our head office is just a short distance from this place so I am sure I will be going there again. Nothing really stood out about this place for me. The burrito was pretty good but easily could have been better. A pro about this place is that their hot sauce is actually hot. They need to add some spice or something as the carnitas just seemed bland.\n\nThe decor is nice, but kind of feels like a Chipotle ripoff. \n\nI would probably go back if I was in the area and looking for lunch, but I wouldn't make a special trip. Expensive, not particularly inspired but decent burritos in a cafeteria setting. 2 stars = Meh. I've experienced better. Fact is I've experienced WAY better. \n\nZ-teca gets 2 stars because the ingredients seem very fresh and for burritos they do press/grill them at the end (a technique sadly missed at many burrito joints).\n\nOther than that the actual flavours are lacking all around. As my husband calls it, there's an overriding 'tang' that can't be ignored and sours the rest of the dish. I went for a chicken burrito bowl yesterday and although I left feeling light (these aren't the one pounders you get elsewhere), I still highly regretted my lunch decision. \n\nGo to Burrito Bandidos. |

The food was excellent. Atmosphere was great. It was busy but not annoyingly loud. Minus one star because my husband said service wasn't good, but I don't recall that it was bad. The Spaghetini was by far my favorite dish. I didn't get to try any of the cheeses, but they have an amazing selection. Would definitely recommend to others. Well.. this morning i read that Caselulla is closing on December 23rd. I went here for my first time on Thursday. Thursday's offer is half priced bottles of wine over $50. Our waitress suggested a sparkling red and it was delish! My friend and i tried an ounce of cheese and we split a snack plate and the chicken plate. The chicken was AMAZING! We ate it so quick that i didn't even have a change to get a picture! I'm going to leave this review short since they only have 5 more days. But if you are around the north side, you definitely need to check this place out! It will be sorely missed! The food was good but for 110$ I walked away hungry. I understand that you keep ordering more plates until full. At this cost it would have taken $500 for us to be full and there was only two of us. I hope they are successful because the area needs it but may have to incorporate some more substantial menu options. This is easily my new favorite spot in Pittsburgh. Great wine, intriguing cheeses and unparalleled service. The food and atmosphere is fantastic. Had a custom cheese plate, eggplant meatballs and tuna bruschetta! Wine list is great and the sommelier was there to guide us and help us pick. The had a great live jazz band playing. My only two minor comments is there is no parking anywhere I had to park 4 blocks away. Plus it is pricey !! And with the area that it is i feel like those two issues will be a problem for many people in my neighborhood. I will go back but only for a special occasion. |

The meat was not recognizable. Would not consider another dinner here. I've passed by this restaurant many times and decided to stop by for lunch the other day. When my wonk and I went in, I was a bit surprised we were the only patrons. That didn't bother me though, I was just there to eat haha\n\nAnyhow the lady at the counter/register is extremely nice and patient. Lord knows we take a while to make up our minds on what to eat, even when we exaggerate and say we're starving. So we ordered walnut shrimp and sweet and sour chicken.\n\nThe dish my wonk ordered was a bit tastier than the dish I'd ordered, and his was recommended on the menu. I though the shrimp went very well with the walnuts. The dish I ordered had a good temperature and flavor but I started to feel sick the more I ate of my food. IT WAS NOT THE FOOD PREPARATION AT ALL. I didn't really like the way the chicken tasted. It tasted really poor quality, and it was mainly the bigger pieces. \n\nOverall this place isn't horrible, and it isn't the best, it's just a different type of food. Don't go here expecting Chinese or Thai because it's Honk Kong styled. That I know was my issue. I still feel the restaurant is a 3 star. The buffet was almost nonexistent, and the menus could've used a few more photos to assist in ordering. Other than too high of expectations upon arrival I would say it wouldn't hurt to check them out, as for me and my stomach...were looking for something a bit different than what is offered here. We had lunch today. Their food is very salty. Had their pork fried rice but the rice was overcooked. Beef and broccoli was salty . Beef was like jerky. The food had a lot of msg. I do like their vegetables as it is nice and chrisp. Best dish was the fried chicken. Chowmein noodles were way too salty This is a very good family-gathering type of restaurant. I am very pleased to be able to find sea cucumber and abalones here. Their sweet pork with sesame seeds was delicious. I always have to order this when I come. This is the best Cantonese restaurant in central Phoenix. Hands down. Just ask all the chinese families that eat here. I grew up in Vancouver Canada so I know a thing or two about chinese food. My Vancouverite mother, who thinks the chinese in Phoenix is mediocre, says "this is pretty good!" and decides that she will eat here whenever she comes to town. That says it all. We eat here at least twice a month. When I don\'t have time to cook we order takeout and it typically only takes 20 minutes from the time I call. It\'s delicious every time. It\'s nutritious. And it\'s cheap! I\'ve never had the smorgasbord. We order family style, typically one dish per person, and share. Walnut shrimp. White fish and chinese veggies. Monk\'s veggies. The duck (half or whole) is meaty and moist! Vermicelli hot pot. Eggplant hot pot. Salt and pepper steak. House fried rice. These are just a few of our favorite dishes. If you can\'t overlook the worn out furniture, you\'re missing out because this small family run "greasy spoon" restaurant consistently serves authentic delicious Cantonese food. |

The interior was very clean, smelled good, furniture new, music level right for conversation, and the service very pleasant.\n\nI had the Mongolian beef which was the best I've had in Madison, (though I prefer a more salty version). You can choose between a regular portion or upgrade to a larger portion for two dollars-really nice. Great selection of healthyish NantucketNectars-peach! \n\nThey have been open for a month it obviously this is not their first restaurant attempt. Bravo! Came here around 8:15, it was very quiet. I placed my order to go, stood by the side to wait. In less than two minutes the friendly lady who took my order brought my hot and fresh food right to me. I had the small plate of mixed veggies with tofu. I chose the brown rice to go with it and there was a nice size mound of it. I could have done with a few more veggies but it was a pretty good portion for the price (less than $7). I'd like to come back and try out the other dishes! First try. As others have noted, it is a minimal service restaurant. On entry, you have a menu board offering choices for wok stir fries, noodles and hibachi grills. Chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu. Order then sit down, they bring the food to you. Everything is "Asian" inspired, if not exactly dishes you would find if you were IN Asia. But guess what? It\'s good! Jeng\'s Chicken, a riff on General Tso\'s, was fresh and hot and tasty. There are other choices like a red curry stir fry, a "mongolian" stir fry and a kung-pao or hunan style. Noodles look to be of the pad thai rice noodle style or the lo-mein style. No Ramen here! Best of all? Those pork egg rolls everyone talks about. Crisp. Hot. SUPER flavorful, almost smoky. Comes with a sugary dipping sauce, but do yourself a favor and grab a bottle of soy sauce along with the Sriracha Sauce and make your own. No tipping, and they buss the table. I will be back! Great new spot in Monona! My husband and I have stopped here several times and have never been disappointed! I have tried multiple dishes and each are delicious. The staff are great at helping you order the right amount of spiciness for your dish. The Ginger Glazed Chicken, Jeng's Chicken and Hunan BBQ Stir-Fry were all good, we can't wait to try more. The portions are decent, we always have leftovers to eat again later. Also the cream cheese wontons are similar to crab rangoon, these are yummy too! This is a great spot to stop and pick up take out on your way home or dine in if you would like!! I had Jeng's bookmarked for a while and wanted to make it before they closed permanently.\n\nThe ordering system and menu is akin to Chin's Asia Fresh. There are stir fry dishes, noodle dishes, and accompanying meats/veggies to choose from as well as different sauces. There are a handful of appetizer and soups too.\n\nWe got the Jeng's chicken and hot and sour soup. The Jeng's chicken is the saucier and much skinnier version of the traditional Americanized General Tso's chicken. The breading is much lighter, chicken is much crispier, and the sauce has a little more tang. \n\nThe other reviews mentioning that there is too much sauce. Why is that a bad thing? That's just more goodness to mix your rice with! I could have used more sauce!\n\nThe hot and sour soup was piping hot even after a 20 min drive home. I really liked the soup, it's one of the better ones out there. There is no over-starched goop in it, you know what I'm talking about. The soup is light and the ingredients were cut up in bite sized pieces. \n\nI'm sad that I was so late to the party. This place has great potential and couldn't easily been on our regular rotation. I wish the owners luck in their new endeavor. |

A lot of people think their burgers are the best in town. (I prefer Swenson's, which is better, but I wouldn't kick this burger out of bed for eating crackers.) \n\nProblem is, burgers are all they have - well, okay, you can get a hot dog. Or fries. Or another burger. So if you want anything else at all, you're kind of up the creek. \n\nMe? I like variety. You've had one Five Guys burger, you've swept the menu. If you're the sort of person who likes eating the same thing a lot, then this is the place for you. I'll show up once every couple of months when the craving for a burger strikes and Swenson's is too far away and Bearden's (the other best burger in town nominee) is closed, but otherwise I'll forget it exists. \n\nOh, and if you're allergic to peanuts? There are cases of half-shelled nuts in the room, filling the air with deadly NUT DANDER. YOU WILL DIE IF YOU WALK IN HERE. Fo' reals. There's even a sign on the door warning you of your impending demise. I'm gonna say 5 stars. When you are hungry and driving around looking for a place that's not slam and you want to sit down,five guys is there. Plus a better burger Than almost anywhere. Always fast and good. Consistency is important to me. Especially with food. They always do a good job. Always make my food perfectly. What a terrible experience, I flew in to Ohio this week on a family visit this week. They made my sons burger with CHEESE.... I requested that there is no cheese on his burger because he is lactose-intolerant . They clearly have customer service as their last priority considering the cashier couldn't even pay attention to my order. Midway through dinner my son started complaining of stomach pains. I checked his burger, and wouldn't you know it, there was a piece of cheese on the burger. Understandably, I was furious knowing that my son would later be peeled over, vomiting for the rest of the night. And of course this has left me running on 2 hours of sleep, and I will be sure to never go through this horrible ordeal ever again. I would strongly advice you to not visit this location. The food was great but i have never seen such terrible management. I was with my friend eating in and some manager with blue hair had the nerve to pull out an employee and yelled at her right in front of us while we were eating in the dining room! How unacceptable, I mean, that is low. right in front of other customers in the dining room? pathetic and low. Instead of taking the young girl in the back away from customers she put the employee righton the spot and scolded her in front of EVERYONE. It was terrible and uncalled for and we felt so bad for the employee. She was in tears. That is unacceptable. If you continue to have this unprofessional so called 'managers' work at this location, I will never go back. That was very irresponsible and unprofesional of that manager (we couldn't get a name, but she had a grey shirt and blue hair, i will find out the name though!). You need new management at this location. this is not the first time we have seen management her do stupid s**t.. we just like to give people chances and benefit of the doubt, well, not anymore! I will also tell others to not go to this location until changes are made. I hope you take our comment into consideration, if not, then you guys just don't care This chain does fast food burgers well. Love that the fries are fresh cut. |
