We also needed to return drinks made incorrectly. Food arrived at all different times and never got my coffee drink. So disappointed - we do\nnot recommend. 12 noon Friday. Not a soul in there. Server told the specials were not ready get because chef was on the phone pulling talking to owner. Really. At noon. Food & service were pretty good. Laid back atmosphere. Reasonably clean. Liked it- despite the name, this is not a bar, but a quite nice restaurant . I had the banana peppers, which was listed as an appetizer, but I found to be fine as a meal along with a side salad. Another bonus was that it was quiet enough to talk.\nNice place, I recommend it. A hidden gem. Great back patio, beer selection and really surprisingly great food. Must try. do you want a strong cocktail? this is your place. want beer on tap? sorry, none at this tavern. really great wings, but our burgers were pretty lackluster - not well seasoned and mushy bun. and those stong cocktails? that's all you can say about them. the old fashion appeared to have grenadine in it. |

We talked abt having breakfast for long time and we finally made it on thanksgiving day. \n\nWe arrived and the whole parking lot was jam-packed. We enter through their front door and we felt like it was a store. For a second we thought this must be a store and we just didn't know it, my friend even went out to look at the sign and that's when he saw the restaurant section on the side.\n\nWe had to wait for little while since it was the Thanksgiving day but once we were seated, it was all good. The service was pretty good and all of us enjoyed their food. \n\nWe will be back for sure ;) This is one of my favorite breakfast places. It's simple and delicious!! They have the best turkey sausage that I've ever tasted. It's so good that I question wether it's really a healthy alternative. \n\nI also love their pancakes. They are fluffy, buttery and they have little crispy edges that provide a great contrast to the soft, warm pancake. They taste like something you'd get when visiting grandma's house. They seem so simple, yet you know you couldn't recreate it at home. \n\nI also love their biscuits, but I only eat one bread item per sitting and I usually opt for the pancakes. \n\nFinally, I actually enjoy browsing the nic knacks in the front of the store while I wait for my table. Am I the only one who has to fight the urge to purchase those huge candy bars? I mean they are gigantic!! One day I'm gonna break down and buy the 2lb Reese peanut butter cups and a cream soda!! Good place for home cooked breakfast plus you can get a little shopping in the little contry store would go again Typically love this place. I have been coming here for 10 years. Probably two times a week. Just recently on our last two visits we noticed a terrible taste in their water. The ice tea is obviously uses the same water source. It tastes like "lake water". My daughter first noticed it, then me. My husband thought we were nuts. Then he tasted it. None of us could drink our water or ice tea. I reported it to the manager, and he said he would check the filtration system. We came back tonight, about a week later and you can still taste it in the water and tea. Had dinner at this location tonight. The food as always was good. However the service, was lacking. We waited 8 minutes to be greeted. When we were greeted we saw that our server had walked past us numerous times, and didn\'t bother to let us know she\'d be with us soon. No drink refills the whole meal and we had to ask other servers for the boxes and the check. Our server didn\'t seem busy in the least. However, when we finished our meal and went to pay, the cashier asked us how our meal had been. And I honestly told her "eh it was okay". She asked why, I told her how the last 40 min had passed and she called a manager up to speak with us. We explained again and the sweet manager apologized profusely and took care of our meal, even when we insisted that it wasn\'t necessary. Overall we were pleased with how the situation was handled and will most likely be back because of that. |

We ordered 5 items. Only 4 came, even after 2 assurances that the missing item was coming. It was a blessing in disguise. 1 was mediocre at best and the others were disgusting. We haven't left food on the table in years but we left 80% of the food uneaten and went somewhere else. I have never rated a place only one star but this place has no redeeming quality at all. One of my regular spots\n\nI probably visit more than I should simply because the food at the price it cost is very hard to beat.\n\nMe and my buddy always order either the orange beef or general tao chicken with either chicken fried rice(with orange beef) or the yung chau( I think that's how it's spelled) rice. It's quite hard to tell the difference between the beef and the chicken from the outside appearance but the beef has a tougher texture when you start chewing it as opposed to the chicken. The yung chau rice has a nice combination of carrots, chopped omelet pieces, shrimp, ham and green peas so it looks very colorful and the rice itself has a yellow hue to it, though it could be the lighting(I tend to go there at night). I haven't gotten around to experimenting with other items on the menu simply because I've been hooked on the 4 or so items me and my friend selected.\n\nThe place itself is pretty...pretty bad. The dine-in section is pretty small, but I like that they give you a pitcher of water and you are free to serve yourself as opposed to having to wait on the waiter/ress having to bring you water. Other wise it's what you would expect a busy chinese dive/restaurant would be. DO NOT get the wanton soup or anything wanton for that matter. One order of wanton soup comes with 4 pieces of wanton. Each wanton was 98% wrapper 2% meat. Total rip off!! Worst wanton in my life! I have to be honest the two only Chinese dishes I eat are the General Tao Chicken and -Soupes et Nouilles house special- fried rice and they are both excellent in this restaurant. I must say that I have tried the above-mentioned dishes in a lot of Chinese restaurants and so far this is simply the tastier and best in portion/price ratio (about $16) for two people. Have you ever had pad thai that tasted like it was made with curry? This is what I experienced during a recent visit. Like several other asian restaurants on Sainte Catherine Rue, Soupes et Nouilles markets itself as a cornucopia of various asian cuisines--namely, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Japanese (sushi only). As in most cases, this sort of encompassing menu on paper makes for a disappointing fare in person---the economics rule of specialization should be applied here--- that is, if you attempt to do well, choose one thing and work on it. The aforementioned pad thai, overall , didn't taste awful--but when one orders pad thai, it should taste more or less like pad thai (i.e., a bit of fish sauce, lime, sugar, peanuts). Perhaps the cooks thought I meant to order Singaporean noodles (Chinese) which was also on the menu--highly doubtful since the noodles were definitely pad thai and not sticks. To their credit, however, the dish was very generous with the shrimp. In addition, we ordered the peanut butter chicken (the sweetness of the peanut butter was reminiscent of mayo shrimp w/walnuts, a favorite dish of mine) which was tasty but a bit heavy on the sauce. We also ordered the calamari which was standard--thankfully.\nOverview:\nService = Good, served immediately, nice wait staff\nPrice = Cheap\nRecommendation: Go here for a quick cheap eats if you're not too picky |

Ok sure whatever.\n\nEvery single item that eventually crawled its way to our table was room temperature... as though they\'ve cooked it ahead of time, let it sit in the kitchen and when they get an order, share some out onto a plate. \n\n\nOh and order more than you need to eat, because they don\'t end up sending 20 percent of what you ordered. \n\n\nYah I\'m going to say, one of the GTA\'s worst ayce sushi places.\n\n\n\nIf the owners are reading this, fix the hole in the ship before it sinks itself. I remember coming here years ago and it clicked in later that evening why I didn\'t come back..\nWe came around 8pm and I guess they were closing soon because the "cooks" in the back all came out and had there dinner behind us... kinda strange to have all like 10 staff members eating in the restaurant with you..\nThe Chinese food was greasy..\nA lot of different options to choose from but with that being said.. \nI did not feel good the next day ...\nNot going back! \nDirty restroom..\nNot very hygienic looking chefs.. Pretty decent sushi spot. I only tried the take out so I can't comment on the service. The sushi was fresh and tasted good Really good service. Very attentive and the food came very very fast. Wide selection of everything including some dim sum items but no tuna sashimi or seaweed salad which was surprising. The sashimi and rolls were good sizes. \n\nNice atmosphere except there weren't a lot of people on a Sunday night so they closed off the inside sections and we were very close to the door which was really chilly. Also there were fruit flies which was annoying. Only been here for the lunch specials but I'm happy with what I've gotten. Service has improved since launch, and they've added iPads for the ayce a few weeks ago. Haven't been here for ayce but I wouldn't hesitate to go based on what I've seen. |

Don't know if we weren't in servers zone but we were treated like we weren't. Had to aak for silverware and napkins half way through service. Brought wrong drink and charged us the higher price. Didn't eat more then half of my meal. Food was dive bar type but worse. This is one of the worst places I\'ve been in a long time. The service and food are horrible. Bad service I can tolerate as long as the food is great. But when it comes to food... This day and age you need to be on top of your game. The "focaccia " bread was... Weird and completely tasteless. The Chicado chicken burger was also way under seasoned. The fries and onion rings were so greasy I couldn\'t even palate them. I normally can eat anything and everything... But these items made me sick. The reason I even have one star is because the golden wings truly are delicious. But it wasn\'t enough. Never coming back. Went there just for a few drinks, the asu game happened to be on, we don't keep up with football and had no idea. We understand you are crowded, our drinks took a little longer but hey, we only got one and our server was very attentive. However, as we were almost done with our beer, my friend asked me to take a seat really quick because I had an injured ankle and when we sat down literally for 2 mins (even tho we know someone would come and ask us to allow them to clean the table, we just needed a seat for a min) Abby came and rudely began to go on about her 6 page waiting list with attitude asking us to leave the table. Unnecessary to be rude, I have been in the industry for years, that's not the way you speak to a customer. Maybe you should train some off your staff a little better on etiquette. Went in after the dbacks game for some late night food and drinks... It was dead. And for it being that dead the service was horrible! Had to ask twice for water. Then ask for water refills. Our server Tiffany never asked if we wanted another round or anything. I also found a long blonde hair in my food. They took it off the bill but she was very rude about it and no manager stopped by to see how everything was nor deal with the issue. Will no longer come to this location... Will go out of my way to the Mcclintock and ray location where I get good service! We were out enjoying a casual Saturday and stopped in for lunch. Knew nothing about this place but the food was great. We just had a bacon cheeseburger and a buffalo chicken focaccia....They were both generous in size, fries were hot and fresh. Only had water to drink so cannot comment on the drink or beer pours. Service was good. We would return and give it another go. Enjoyed sitting on the patio people watching. |

If you take a party of six or larger be aware they will charge you gratuity and scratch it off the ticket with a sharpie and not let you know what the charge is for in hopes of getting a double tip. I won't be back not because of the food but the staff, hopefully you can be a little more honest about the charges on the bills with your future customers. If your thinking of ordering from here through door dash or some other delivery service DONT! I ordered an overpriced shrimp cocktail through door dash ($22) and got shrimp ceviche. When I called the restaurant to complain they blamed me then door dash. Turns out they dont speak english nor do they have a computer so the order was placed by phone and because they dont understand english they couldnt understand what the order was and just assumed it was ceviche. I had to drive over to the restaurant where they took zero accountability and were horribly rude and continued to blame me and door dash for their mistake. At one point telling me if you dont want this to happen again then dont order online! Horrible! Door Dash did refund my money and after arguing with them I did get my correct item and I was not impressed, definately not worth $22. All that for something that wasnt even worth it. If they dont understand the concept of online delivery they shouldnt be on there to begin with. I will never order from there again whether it be online or in person. It's so good, everything seems fresh. Service was okay, maybe because they were a little busy but I know why now. So I basically just had the best Carne Asada burrito of my life. Hot and fresh with so much flavor, the steak had just a hint of char it was amazing.. So I came across this place after being detoured off the I10.. so glad to have found this gem!! I can't wait to come back and try some of the shrimp dishes. Fast and friendly service, very busy at 11:30 so you know it's good. I also had the horchata it was perfect! Highly recommend, they have a drive through when it's late just drive straight to the window and they will get you taken care of. Awesome food, good service, and reasonably priced. Only regret not trying the chuvi duvi. |

If you are the owner or manager reading this, everyone there on 3/27 at noon deserves a big raise! New burger spot by work so I had to check it out. Feels like every other new burger joint. Clean, quick, friendly, and painless. Order in line, sit down, and wait for your number. No combos or value meals but they do offer free peanuts while you wait. \n\nI opted for a cheeseburger and regular fries. \n\nThe food came out in a brown bag. I opened it up and could only see this massive pile of fries. Must have been two or three potatos worth. I finally eat my way down to the burger and pull it out. It is also pretty massive. There are tons of different toppings you can choose from for free: onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, green chile, A1 sauce, and pleanty more. They were generous with the toppings and the patties were pretty huge. The burger tasted fresh and almost homemade. The fries looked and tasted homemade as well. Thick cut with the skin still on. Everything tasted like real food not your regular fast food but you get what you pay for.\n\nThe bad part was it was just too much. I hate wasting food and threw out almost the entire cup of fries. There is seriously enough to share for three grown men. I can't imagine what the large looks like. There was also too much salt for me. It was over 10 bucks for a burger and fries. This isn't very excessive compared to a lot of the new and improved burger shops but you are paying for the better quality. While this is the norm I think it is also too much for one person. I seriously kept thinking there were enough fries for a small family and wish I could have had a smaller option.\n\nNext time I visit I will only get fries if I have a friend or two to share them with. I will also ask for no salt. Instead of a regular sized burger I will ask for the little cheeseburger. I definitely feel Five Guys can hang with Smashburger, Culvers, Habit or any other new higher end burger joint. \n\nThe real question is do I really need to try every new burger shop that pops up?? I tried a Five Guys when they first came to town a couple years ago, and wasn't all that impressed. I don't know if they changed, or if I did, or if this location is different, but I really enjoyed my meal this time.\n\nIt's still way overpriced - $13+ for a fast food bacon cheeseburger, small fries, and small drink. But I chose to ignore the price and just focus on he food. And it was damn good.\n\nThe burger was flavorful, with delicious bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, and A-1 sauce. The Cajun fries were tasty, but maybe could have used an extra 30 seconds in the fryer.\n\nI'll keep this option open from now on - I'd probably still go to Fudd's or Islands when I want to spend this much for a burger, but when it's more convenient to go here, I'm sure I'll find myself back once in a while. Awesome burgers. Juicy and tasty. Fries are wonderful too. Five guys is great. Their presentation is lacking but the food is good. If you are in the mood for a burger this is the place to go.\n\nTry to think about what you want on it though before you get to the front of the line. The manager at this particular five guys was really friendly and seemed to actually enjoy working there.\n\nAs always there are free peanuts to munch on while you wait for your meal.\n\nTo drink they have the regular soft drinks and yea. The fries are great as well, crispy and not too salty.\n\nIf you need to get a meal on your own you can sit at a Hightop without feeling like a total loser. |

This is kind of a big deal because of isolation and 30 min lunches. In our building we only had what is comparable to vending machines, although they do have decent selections. I decided to give this place a try and was disappointed. I orderd the Classic Hot Pastrami and Swiss sandwich for $7.49, If I wanted the combo it would have be $9.49. That is pretty expensive for a sandwich. The vending machine in my bldg. sells a comparable one for almost $3.00 less. I guess when you are being held hostage to a business that has no competition, money will be made. I would feel differently if the sandwich tasted spectacular or the portion was larger. I will not return...............................Not sure why your family would be here in a business park having lunch with you but ok! LOL! This place is in the same building as my office. Everyone I work with loves this place! Their food is great (I haven't heard one person complain about something they ordered), their customer service is awesome, and the place is really clean and convenient. I hear them address just about everyone by first name, and they are such nice, friendly people! They have hot and cold meals, quick pre-prepared things, all sorts of drinks, snacks, ice cream, and Starbucks. The service is pretty fast too. This is a great deli, a hidden gem amongst the offices. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. I ordered a little Italy combo. The bread was soft yet sturdy enough to handle the hearty serving of deli meats. I got a mocha coffee with almond milk and it was wonderfully crafted. The office workers near by are lucky! I just left this place and I'm speechless....... First, I was greeted at the door. Second I was told about the special. Third, I love the decor, very modern and it gives you that home feeling. I ordered the Athens Wrap and it blew my mind. The flavor, the dressing, the chicken....man it came together to give me this burst of satisfaction that I haven't felt in a long time. My wife ordered the Raspberry Chicken Salad and she literally destroyed it. She absolutely loved it. My son of course had the Gold Rush BBQ Burger which he finished and I am still shocked, It had to of been good. My daughter tried the Chicken Quesadilla and she said she loved it. I was told that their breakfast is delicious, especially the breakfast burrito. We will definitely be back to try that. Who would of thought that a deli located in an office building could taste this good. I spoke to the owner who was very polite and took his time to speak to me. I was told they do catering for any event of any size. Wow, that's good to know. I am going to use them to cater some family and friends next weekend. I know the food is good, the service is excellent, and the owner took time away from being busy to talk and answer any question I had. That's genuine and quality service that most places or people could care less about. City Market Deli Riverwalk is definitely a good, clean, fun and beautiful place to eat whether with family or friends. I know whoever has been there feels the same way. Decent food, but it is a little pricey for what you get. The staff is super friendly. I docked a star due to the price and also because they have messed up my order 2 different times but I already took my food to go so I didn't notice until I got back to my office. Ideally I'd give them 3.5 stars. |

I arrived a few minutes before our 7:30 reservation and were seated immediately. Their wine list is extensive, and their tables are set with the biggest wine goblets I\'ve ever seen. They have a small but interesting cocktail (or "oxtail") menu, and my Bulleits over Bordeaux was strong and delicious. The dishes here are small, but well plated and definitely well done. I had the burrata di bufala, short rib vaccinara, and gianduja frangelico tiramisu. Short ribs are my go to order at most restaurants, and the ones here did not disappoint. The dish here came with three medallion sized pieces, which were perfectly fork tender and came with the most delicious glaze. I also stole a couple bites of my friend\'s Gigli dish, and the pasta was absolutely amazing. I\'m not sure if the portions were smaller due to restaurant week, and I personally left pretty full, but a bigger eater might be left wanting. The desserts here were standard, good but not mind blowing. My tiramisu was creamy and fluffy without being too sweet, though it came on a solid chocolate base that made it a little challenging to eat. I did appreciate that they had espresso options as well as French pressed coffee. Service overall was very attentive, and the employees all looked genuinely happy to be at work, which is a huge plus. \n\nNote: the parking lot by Fat Ox is pretty small and fills up quickly, but there\'s usually ample space over by Fogo de Chao. Great food and service. Also from a value standpoint... you won't regret how much you spent. Had dinner here just before Christmas and wasn't impressed.\n\nPortions were weak, way overpriced and lighting was too dim.\n\nPlus it was way too loud.\n\nFacebook was right about this place. Will stay w/ Village Inn or Buca Di Beppo for the time being. WOW, $$$$ for what you get. Not that good. Everyone was so disappointed in their meal. Apps good and a great sommelier, but that's it. Uneven service and grossly overpriced for what you get. Won't be back. My mother had set up a reservation for a party of 4 for 12/11 @ 6:15 PM. On Sunday, she called to double check her reservation time was told flat out "no, we are not going to be open tonight.We\'re doing construction" Confused, she asked why the hell no one called her and told her this. The hostess then stated: "Oh, we though we had the wrong area code so we didn\'t call.." Im sorry but what restaurant DOESN\'T call someone to let them know their reservation will be canceled because they thought the area code was wrong? She still has her Denver cell # since she moved out here a while ago. Needless to say, we not be dining here. Luckily, Steak44 made room for us at 6:00PM. I HIGHLY recommended going to Steak44 instead of this place. From the other reviews...it\'s not worth it. Terrible customer service. |

I've tried many of them and this place is the best hands down. A pupusa has pork and cheese inside or just cheese (WHICH IS HOW I ORDER MINE) its not plain or just cabbage.Regardless of it being inside the mall everyone is friendly, portion is great and prices are reasonable. The food is made fresh. everytime I order it's hot and I can tell it hasn't been sitting out. Love this place. There is a salvadorian restaurant outside the mall by planet fitness...that can't even compare. This place is AWESOME!! Pupusas revueltas are my usual and they are to die for! Ive also had Pollo en Crema-DELISH!! They offer various stews on the weekends that are homemade goodness. You MUST try their famous "Ensalada Drink" which has little pieces of fresh fruit in it-YUM! This is my new favorite place and I am there at least twice a week. Prices are super cheap too! See you there! Food was good just not worth 35 minutes for two pupusas! I asked for my money back after asking several times of food was done and refused to do so. For that wait it's not worth it and horrible customer service. The workers were being rude and They had really bad food it taste like someone nutted on it For the Best Pupusas in Arizona, come to San Salvador\nRestaurant, very Friendly Staff, they are inside the Desert Sky Mall on 75TH av and Thomas Rd... \nThey also have two mo restaurant in Mesa, Total\nOf 5 including one in Riverside Ca. \nThey get 5 stars for seving the tastiest Salvadoran food in AZ. |

Of course the money is encased in plastic on a table. But it's free and fun if you happen to be in the neighborhood! I call it a cheap thrill and free fun thing to do Downtown Las Vegas besides the Fremont Light Show. Classic place to go gambling and it plays host to a lot of the world poker tournaments. This place has got a lot of history from the old days of Las Vegas. Table games are cheap too so if your bank roll is low, then go here. \n\nAs for the hotel, the rooms are not soundproofed so good luck trying to get some sleep (bring ear plugs). You'd be right next to the Fremont Experience, with all the noise and sounds from the light show and from the concerts that go on during the night. Plus, the rooms have not been refurbished like the ones at El Cortez or California Hotel so you end up feeling kinda dirty when you sleep there. Did I mention the parking? Yeah, the parking situation is pretty retarded, you gotta park across the street and then you can only get your ticket validated at the front desk every time you park. There's no parking pass even if you're a hotel guest for several days. So since usually there's a line of people trying to check in, check out, or whatever, you'd have to wait there a long time for validation. Come on Binion's, what kinda business are you guys conducting here...seriously now. Make it more efficient so you don't waste people's time losing money at your casino!\n\nOverall I give the gambling experience 2 stars, but the hotel is what killed it for this place. So come for some gambling, but definitely don't stay for the hotel. I had so much fun here on my first visit to Vegas. $2 blackjack?! Yes please!! Fantastic place we will be back. Binion's is showing its age and really needs an overhaul. But, the dealers and pit bosses when I played were great. Most dealers in Vegas are friendly and like to chat, but most pit bosses are too busy to do so unless you are a big player. At Binion's the pit bosses would stop by, chat, call you by name. One even gave me a high five when I hit a black jack. It didn't matter that I was only playing $5 a hand. That's the type of fun I am looking for. Hope they can bring this place back. Binion's is even worse than Golden Nugget. Not only does it smell like an old smoker's home but it looks so trashy. I really cannot think of anything nice to say about this place. |

For me its Los Arcos if I am in Kannapolis or Casa Grande if I am in Concord. Great food and great service ! You wont be disappointed here! Great find in Concord! I am not a huge Mexican food eater, don't do beans, guac, and rarely rice. I really appreciated the fact they had a decent a la cart menu and I could design my meal around my likes. \nChicken taco, steak taco, steak quesadilla blue motorcycle drink and sopapilla for dessert. Had to take the quesadilla home for later.\nSteak had flavor, portions great, good chips, friendly service.\nWe got there around 5:30 with no problem getting a table. Around six fifteen there was a wait. Best Mexican restaurant out there! The waiter who is nearly always there is always very happy to see everyone. There is never an empty glass or salsa chip bowl on our table when we're there. Prices are very reasonable, especially if you go for lunch. They give you plenty of food to eat, and I always leave feeling awesome! They also have special beers on tap, and are the only place I know of where you can get a domestic draft beer for $2. Awesome food, and awesome service. I frequent this place repeatedly, and I have NEVER had a bad experience. Service was unbeatable! Truthfully, our iced tea drinks and chips and salsa never once became fully empty before the waiter refilled them. My wife and I had the steak tacos, my eldest son steak nacho dinner, youngest son chicken fingers with fries. All of the food was exceptional. Very professional, friendly, staff. It really would be difficult to beat this place for service, quality food, and reasonable prices. Oh yea, almost forgot....my wife is a chef and knows quality food and service, and she was impressed. Casa grande is a low key/casual place that's perfect for a date. I love the food and the service is on point 99.9% of the time. Highly recommend |

The portions here are pretty big so we were both fine with ordering one item each a la carte. She had a tostada; I had a bean burrito. It was just the right amount. And their chips are delicious. It was quiet enough that we could have a conversation at normal volume and the staff was friendly and attentive without being over bearing. I hadn\'t been here since the yelp event last year. The chips and salsa are to die for and it it took everything in me not to eat all of the, since I call myself being "good". I did order the shrimp tacos (sans the tortilla) which were delicious and the service was great. I will definitely come back again to see how things are during happy hour and heck just for the chips and salsa. Our first time and was very disappointing. We waited for almost an hour for our food. And when we said we were leaving all of the suden our food was ready. When the food finally came out, our food was cold. I couldn't even it since we waited so long I wasn't hungry no more. Never coming back. Nice place in the middle of a residential area making it a quaint local spot.\nReally enjoyed the Pacifico on tap ($4.25/glass) and the Nachos gustivo pequeno ($9.00 for small).\nA bit pricey but still a fun place. Yet another fabulous Yelp event held at this locale. Great food.....and I am not a Mexican food lover at all....but again the food was very good. The atmosphere is authentic Mexican....a Bocce court right next to the walkway....fantastic patio for our yelp event....good live music....and there was even a "Hell\'s Kitchen" celebrity chef serving up shrimp in a grille pineapple. \n\nYelp done it\'s usual prize giveaways....which are always fun....there was fiesta theme for this event and there was even a "Adult" penyata which I don\'t think anyone was able to break open....LOL!!!! I found out they even do a free buffet during happy hour Monday-Friday 4:30pm until 6:30pm.....that\'s awesome. So while I don\'t drink or really like Mexican food.....I highly recommend this location for it\'s authentic feel and great patio to sit under the stars and Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!!! |

I mean, this place isn\'t bad, but it boils down to what kinda pizza YOU like. My wife liked this place a lot more than I did. I guess this is more of a NY style pizza.\n\nWe tried a cheese pizza that they had on special. It was pretty large, at least 16" across. To be honest though, it reminded me of pizza we had gotten served in school. I mean, it was done right: cooked through and through, perfect amount of cheese and sauce across it, and the crust was pretty good. But... well, I grew up in Chicago, so again, I guess it boils down to the style of pizzas you like.\n\nWe had some mozzarella sticks, and those were actually pretty effing awesome. My wife loved the ranch, I thought it was runny. She thought the marinara was pretty good, I thought it was kinda bland. Course, my wife is the gourmand of the relationship, so she might be right (however I think her palate is off keel, but I\'ll never tell her that... to her face... or in vicinity or same nation as her).\n\nHonestly though, it was good enough that I\'d give it another try. My wife definitely so, but... well... this isn\'t her review. Paid $25 for a pizza with all bread and no cheese/sauce. Good thing I had water to help wash it down. It had potential had it had an adequate amount of toppings to go along with the thick Sicilian crust. Great and friendly service. Good food. Staff was attentive and honest by offering the lunch special. Family owned. Local Pizza. Plus it's not that far from my house \nI ordered the AC Specialty Pizza and we chose t dine in. First off the interior looks pretty damn nice. Floors were clean and they were actually utilizing a window guy to clean all their windows. Decorations match the theme. When we placed our order the cashier was very nice and very patient as we looked at the menu. The prep area and oven was very clean. The price was good for the quality. It took a few minutes before we got our pizza but that's because they made it from scratch. The pizza was brought out to our table and appearance, smell, and taste of the pizza was amazing! The jars of pepper, cheese, garlic, and oregano were all full and clean. At the end they even came to pick up after we were done.\nGreat quality, neatness, cleanliness, friendliness, good customer service.\n\nFirst time here. THE FAMILY wasn't joking, it IS good enough for my family This place is all about the CRUST! Everything they do is simple and delicious. Definitely suggest the buffalo chicken |

Lived up to the hype. \n\nStarted at the bar as we were walk up customers. Wife had a nice martini while I had the phenomenal Dogfish Red & White beer. After around 20 minutes, they had a table for us (it was jamming due to Taste of Tremont festival). \n\nWe started with two apps, the Roasted Garlic Bruschetta with fresh mozzarella and the Roasted Bone Marrow. Both were great and the bone marrow was incredible.\n\nFor dinner, my wife had Spinach & Goat Cheese Ravioli in brown butter & pine nut sauce. I had the Hanger Steak, which was served with fried Brussel Sprouts. Both dishes were amazing and cooked perfectly.\n\nAlthough stuffed, the Chocolate Pot was too tempting not to split. It was the perfect ending to a perfect dinner. The chocolate was thick, but not overdone, while the homemade caramel & whipped cream were in perfect balance, and the sea salt sprinkled on top added a wonderful depth of flavor to the whole dish.\n\nLastly, it was fairly cheap for the quality. \n\nI highly recommend this place! First time visiting Cleveland and what a delight to find two of Chef Simon's restaurants here. We sadly missed our 5:30 reservation and had to sit at the bar (but made it just in time for the happy hour specials). \n\nI ordered the mussels off the HH menu. The mussels were good but on the smaller side. But the sauce was delicious with flavors of cumin & curry. Sadly, the mussels didn't come with fries or bread so I couldn't enjoy the broth more. \n\nThe seafood stew was wonderful and a dream for a seafood lover as it had octopus, squid, mussels, clams, and shrimp. You can also choose a side, and I opted for the polenta with mascarpone cheese. FULL of umami flavor and yet so rich at the same time. It was more grits-based than other log-form polenta I had before. \n\nLolita really lived up to my expectations of Chef Simon's cuisine - clean, flavorful, and complete! This is a brilliant restaurant. Good ambience (with an excellent soundtrack over the PA), great service, delicious food. Pork sausage pizza, pig ear/pigtail appetizer, bone marrow, bread pudding. There was no weak link. I love love love Lolita!\n\nThe food is amazing. I don't think I had lived until I had the rosemary and goat cheese macaroni. The first time I went with a group and we all took bites of each other's meals. Everything was delicious!\n\nThe atmosphere is great as well. It's intimate and interesting without trying too hard. \n\nA really great restaurant. I always feel lucky when I get to go here. There are a lot of great review's on Yelp about Lolita and it definitely lived up to it's name. I had an amazing meal at Lolita over the weekend. We started with the Mussels with chorizo in a white wine sauce. They were perfectly cooked and I liked the balance between the spicy chorizo and the mussels. We also had the Truffled Mortadella as a starter and I loved it! The mortadella came with crostini, pickled cucumbers and green tomatoes, and some candied raisins and fruit. \n\nBecause of all the outstanding reviews on Yelp, I knew I had to order the Pork Chop to see what all the fuss was about. Holy moly! The pork chop was juicy and tender and oh so delicious! Honestly it's one of the best pork chops I've ever eaten and definitely recommend ordering it if you're at Lolita. \n\nMy only disappointment was the fried brussels sprouts. I love brussels sprouts and often roast them in the oven at home. The sprouts were drenched in a sauce and were not very crispy. I also found them to be very tangy and salty from the anchovy. \n\nOverall, I really enjoyed my meal at Lolita. We had great food and good service. |

We were offered a set menu with selections that, IMHO, were non-Italian. Can anyone tell me if snow-peas and stewed carrots are truly part of Italian cuisine? I don't think so. They had the nerve to charge an extra $5.00 for rapini because i didn't like the vegetables on the set menu. A plate of tortellini and penne that came on one plate,that's gross in it's self, with a generic bottled rose sauce.I had that replaced with a green salad but it was pretty much tasteless. Now I may be too critical but when you order a grilled fish, should it come looking microwaved and greasy? \n\nNever mind this resto being overpriced I could forgive them for that if the food was at least good, which it wasn't. Very fine, authentic Italian dining. I've had the privilege to dine here twice, both times with business colleagues here in Montreal who are regulars, and I have been impressed with the service and the food both times. It might be a little bit hard to find if you don't know your way around the area, but if you do find it you won't be disappointed! It was an okay meal. Nothing spectacular, although I did enjoy the profiteroles and the fireplace! Recently visited this restaurant for the first time, and was nicely surprised on many fronts. There were four of us in our party and we wanted good food in a relaxed setting that wasn't too noisy. We arrived for our 7 pm reservation and we were promptly seated by the fireplace in a very nice carpeted room with about 16 tables. A nice respite from the high ceilinged marble floor places that are the norm these days. \n\nWithin moments of being seated we were given some bread and ice water...and a little bowl dip with some crostini and bread sticks...love bread sticks. The menu is very traditional Italian, no surprises. They have a table d'h\xc3\xb4tel starting around 25 and going to 40. Pretty standard Italian fare but prepared well and served with a smile.\n\nWill return here again. Not easy finding an authentic Italian restaurant in the West Island. I spent 10 years working in St-Leonard and going to some of montreals best Iltalian restaurants including Da Vinci, Luca (on Dante), and many others. I recommend La Serenata for a good business lunch or dinner anytime. |

My wife had the wings again as she was craving them. I tried the Beef Kabob plate. I know absolutely nothing about kabob's so I really don't have any reference to judge them. That being said, I found them very tasty. A little bit of zip to them, but not overpowering. I'll definitely have them again. I'll be trying the chicken too at some point. The hummus is real good. Not runny, not too pasty, a real good consistency. Still 5 star!!!! I live and work by this restaurant, super friendly staff and great prices! Food is always fresh and high quality, salads and the humus are delicious! I'd take this place over Napoli's pizza anytime! I'll definitely be back! Excellent service very friendly, Chicken Kabob was very good, portion and good price, spaghetti and sauce was good meatballs ok, unfortunately the pizza was not good and kafta kabob and rice was extremely salty. Could not eat it. I will give it another shot for chicken kabobs and next time I will try the wings people always deserve another chance. I hope it's better next visit. 8/17/2017 I've stopped in and eaten at the 719 N. Nellis location 3 times. I ordered Lasagna which was ok. I've ordered the Gyro with Lamb and it was really good and the ingredients were fresh and I would order it again. The place is small, clean, and is new to this area. The food is reasonably priced and was served quickly. I would recommend this place for a quick bite to eat. They are located behind Arbys and hard to see from Nellis. I plan to return and try other items listed on their Menu. Delivery was nice. Fries had a bucket of Salt on them. Me and my brother gagged!!!Hummus wasn't fresh. Your sausage pizza was rotten. Tasted like Mold...Terrible terrible food!!!! |

This has become my favorite place and offer more value than any mexican food drive-thru and the food is very good. It's in the center of town for me and they're open late. I like that I can get a free drink for some of their combos and a free burrito if you purchase $5 or more! If you are looking for a fancy dine-in, this is not your place. First visit. Carne Asada burrito was very good. The tortilla had the freshly homemade taste, like nana use to make. You Mexicans out there know what I mean. The meat was tender and marinated very well. My boy liked the quesadilla, but how can you mess that up right? My other son got the machaca burro. He said it was good. It must have been cuz the next thing I know, it was gone. The red sauce was okay...a little watery for my taste. I'll be back again. Hands down just the best place ever . Great great food (better then Filiberto's ) awesome service ! Have tried this place on and off for the past 6 or 7 years. Big portions, tasty, lots of protein. Tried the Carne Asada burrito and the Machaca Burrito. They are so big it is difficult to consume an entire burrito in one sitting! Their ingredients taste fresh and seasoned well but not spicy. Their salsa bar had a lot of flies on it and spilled stuff on the counter top. I did take out so I avoided it. Four stars if the place were cleaner. Staff is friendly and fast. They have a drive thru. Not real cheap but good quantities served. I'll be back perhaps in another year. I'd give this place 2.5 stars. It was fine, could be worse.\n\nA couple observations:\n\n1. The interior was a little dirty, none of the tables were wiped down.\n2. They were a little understaffed, I waited for a little before my order was taken cause there was only one cook and one cashier for both dining room and drive thru.\n\nI'll be honest, I ate most of a chorizo burrito about 20 minutes before this review and I feel like shit. I don't know if it was something in the food, it tasted good and didn't seem abnormal in any way. It was fast and cheap. waiting to see if I get sick before I decide if I'll go back haha. |

Taco Bell had not failed us here at this location. The employees are on the line busting their tail for us. Customer service here is one of the best ones in town. Food is really good, this TACO BELL folks, gotta love it. Came in today just for a simple lunch got it quick and fast good service from Elaine will come back again I love Taco Bell! My husband and I eat here so often that the lady that works the drive through remembers us and even noticed when I was driving instead of my husband. I don't go to Taco Bell often, mainly because I prefer more authentic tacos. This Taco Bell is very close to my house though, so I will rarely go through the drive-through for a quick snack. \n\nThe last time I did so, Taco Bell must have been shorthanded. When it was my turn to order, the employee asked me to wait a moment. And then a few minutes later, she apologized for the wait but asked me to wait again, as she was taking orders for both the drive-through and customers that were inside. \n\nWhen it was my turn, MAYBE 5 minutes had passed... It was certainly not a long enough period of time for me to get impatient or upset. Regardless, the employee was very apologetic, and offered me a free beverage to make up for the wait. I wasn't even bothered by the wait, but I was impressed with the customer service. \n\nI wish more fast food employees offered such service. |

If I were to rank every pizza place in the city of Toronto, Pizza Pizza would rank very last. Been coming here for 12 years now. Once in a blue moon an order might get messed up but overall good, clean location; nice staff & of course good food! I don't think I can really muster up much to really say about this Pizza Pizza location. I stopped here Sunday night before heading back to Buffalo and I required some food for that drive. They were out of poutine which was the main reason we were there and had to settle for the pizza slices and chicken chunks. The pizza was average for pizza pizza and I will always be a fan of the chicken they use. It has a unique flavour and a nice crunch that I've come to really enjoy over the last decade. Overall, this is just another typical Pizza Pizza location but it will still get you the pizza and chicken you need (just not the poutine). pizza over baked followed by pizza under baked\n\nthis locations used to be spot on but now they can't even bake a pizza\n\nnot from san fran |

Overall it was decent (probably more of a 3.5/5 than a 4/5). The portion sizes were fairly generous but the rice on all the sushi wasn't packed very well and would fall apart when you tried to pick it up. I might come again another time for the lunch specials though, there was a sign outside listing them and there were some great deals. It has been over 1.5 hours since I've placed my order and I'm still waiting. I only live about a 4 min drive away. \n\nIf I knew it was going to take this long I would have gone to pick up the food myself or ordered from somewhere else. \n\nI called the restaurant to ask about the status of the food and they said the delivery person was on his way. That was 30mins ago. \n\nI've been ordering from this restaurant for almost 4 years. This will be the last time. Okay so the atmosphere wasn\'t very swank. The music was weird, the lights were too bright, and there were too many whiny kids. Serves us right for dining before 8 pm. This is Leslieville afterall. We didn\'t even get a booth which bummed me out. Then the edamame ($3.59 or something) was a microwaved mess which made me nervous about the main course. Turning point! I am happy to say the sushi was decent. For $29.99 a "party tray" for two was very satisfying. There were no particularly interesting departures here, but all the fish was fresh and the rice was a perfect consistency. I think this little hole in the Leslieville wall has a lot more to offer which is why I give it four stars despite it\'s obvious lack of panache. I normally don't have sushi much. This place is close to my work so I gave it a try. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Food is outstanding. Seafoods are probably one if the freshest I've had in Toronto. Several great experiences after I've became a regular. favorite sushi in leslieville! Fresh and good quality ingredients. Great service as well! |

The food is awesome and very competitively priced. I have been coming here for years and I will for many more because the staff and the food are better than any other location. The Manager, Kelly, is a joke. All of the other Streets of New York honored the July 4th, 20% special, EXCEPT for your location. My parents along with their group of church friends went to Pullanos and were much happier with the food and service. Your location gets terrible reviews, because your food takes FOREVER to come out, AND the manager is terrible! Maybe you'll take the hint when your place is even more emptier than it is now. LMAO!! Yip, see the two reviews below...\nMy boyfriend and I walked in 20-minutes to close and received a very nice eye-roll and sigh from a lady waitstaff who didn't even bother to get up from her seat to greet us. We walked in, and walked right out out. There are two other pizza places within a reach; Barros and Pullanos. If this restaurant wants to stay in business, they may not want to chase off the locals and our EMT crews that had often frequented this place. Word-of-mouth referrals go such a long way. Pizza, bread and service were very good. The server was very attentive without being annoying. The pizza was pretty oily but very tasty. The bread pieces and dipping sauce were good. Definitely not bad; not really good either. It's nice that the garlic knots are complementary and pretty good. Nice discounts offered. Will not be back. |

A restaurant? A club wanting to be both? ordered fries with dip, calamari and one other starter. They arrived in 30 seconds, fresh from the microwave? Unfortunatly it wasn\'t just the food that left a bad taste in my mouth, we (wife and I) were told "sorry, service isn\'t going to be to good tonight, I have a really demanding table over there"...so, does this mean we can expect bad service? don\'t ask for anything lest we also be labeled a demanding table? \n\ni\'ll skip and go to Dave\'s up the street next time, or stazione.. Fantastic spot on the St.clair west strip. The Crest is with family friendly and a fun place to chill with friends, hang out on the front or back patio and by the bar. had this crazy braised beef poutine with a cheesy b\xc3\xa9chamel sauce...so friggin good. A group of us tried The Crest out for the first time and had a so-so experience. On a positive note, the food was great; particularly the truffle mac and cheese which was definitely a highlight of the evening. The atmosphere is also great - a real lounge feel with leather couches and great sight lines to big TV screens where we were able to watch the Raptors game.\n\nUnfortunately, the service was quite slow and inattentive. We waited about 45 minutes to get our food, were only checked on once throughout the meal and were not offered any more drinks or dessert. \n\nMay visit again, but not anytime soon. Fancy type pub. Good food although we were the only ones there. Visited Thur Dec 4 for a special event. Arrived at 7pm and the place was half-full. Our party was approximately 30 people. Strongbow in a can was the only cider available. There were some food platters but I didn't get to try any of it. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. The other guests ate up all the food so that was a good sign. Would come back again in the future. |

I ordered online and was given a subtotal. When I got to the restaurant they told me that the prices have changed from what was advertised online. Although it was their error (and false advertising) they had no compassion toward me for their error. Besides the food was rather poor for Greek cuisine. My boyfriend swears by their chicken sharwarma!!! He finally got me to go in and try their food and i went with the philly cheesesteak which was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back and try more. Fries are great too! The most Vegetarian and vegan friendly place in town.\nSmall space, tight parking. Great service and good food. The food is very ethnic and definitely worth the money. \nBeing a vegetarian, my options are usually limited but at Main Street Continental Grill they have a wide variety of items to offer vegetarians and vegans. Food tastes fresh, never frozen and everything has a good flavor to it. \nOther than the slightly steep prices, small space the place is great! The food here is fantastic and they are very reasonably priced! But go early, they are so good and make things so fresh, that they will run out of the pies and the grape leaves if you don't get there early enough. I personally love the hummus, the meat pies, and the spinach pies. If I could give no stars I would. This is the worst gyro I have ever had. It had 2 pieces of meat and was mostly crappy iceberg lettuce. Their pita bread is awful, way to fluffy. If you are looking for Mediterranean food go somewhere else. The boxed Gyro's from the grocery store are better than this junk. Grape-leaves are also not good, has a nice lemon flavor but the stuffing is just plain rice, no beans, no meat, no seasoning. The prices are outrageous for what you get. I asked about buying Just the gyro meat so I could make my own gyros and salads at home they wanted to charge 25$ a Lb. Ridiculous. |

There weren't too many people there, so thats kinda weird that the only other person to review Bar Louie was there at the same day/time! \n\nAnyway, the bartender was super friendly... and the happy hour prices were awesome. We didn't get a Luigi -- but it looked tastey. We only stayed for one drink, but will definately come back next time. :) $1 burgers and $3 drafts will be missed.\nOther than that the place is good to watch the game and drink.\nThe tavern itself will be missed here in vegas i love the bar areas here - several to choose from. on the food front, the pretzel appetizer is the best. have also tried their salads for lunch, which was good. \n\nfrom a crowd perspective, it's hit and miss. i've been here when there's only a couple of tables, and then when the bar is packed. still trying to find the peak volume times. Outdoor patios draw me in like a moth to a flame. So the restaurant and I started off on a good foot. Despite having to move the umbrellas around ourselves to create some shade. \n\nThe food was a little better than just ok. It was actually better than I was expecting from this bar. \n\nWe got the Calamari which was good, California Chicken Club, yummy! The vesuvio melt was average and the Blue Moon Fish and Chips which were ok. Overall it wasn't to bad.\n\nThe server was a ditz but competent. \n\nI would go back prices were reasonable and it would try more of the food. The sad thing is they have great food which is why I gave stars to begin with but the service is the WORST!! I\'ve been here a few times and only because of the food but last night was the last time I\'ll be there for a while. There was an open bar, which did make the service abnormally slow (they should have staffed better for this but that is not why I gave it 2 stars). The waitress was nice and I know she was trying to do what she could but she ignored us completely after we got our food and one of the bartenders was incredibly RUDE to me when I was asking if I could close my tab. Just because your busy and in a bad mood does not give you the right to be down right rude to your customers!! I even asked some of the ladies I was standing beside and they said "Don\'t worry, he\'s just rude to everyone!". That is SAD! I\'ve also been there before when there were maybe 10-12 other people, completely dead, and after 20-30min of waiting and not one waiter/waitress coming by to take our drink order or bring water or even to say I\'ll be right back, I left and went to Yardhouse (which was PACKED and I got service right away). Last night I left, went to the new place across the way and paid for great wine and great service. I\'ll never be back to Bar Louie again but as for all the other Town Square bars and restaurants- they are great! ;) |

Very disappointed. Needs a complete interior update overhaul and face lift. \n\nThe food is great quality, but their portions are monumental, and rather unappetizing with the amount of food on the plate--although this could be appealing to others of a unsophisticated palette. \n\nQuite disappointed, but gracious that the quality of meat was outstanding. We stopped in here one night before a movie to grab a quick drink since they stay open pretty late. The interior definitely needs some updating but overall still a decent atmosphere. The bartender was very friendly and was quick to serve us. They have a pretty good menu we tried the fried ravioli appetizer and it was really good also the drinks we ordered were mixed perfectly and he definitely didn't skimp on the liquor lol. I have also been there once before for dinner and thought it was really good I had the half roasted chicken and it came out super moist. Overall Its a nice little gem in a run down plaza but worth checking out. i love this place so much. i just enjoyed a great piece of prime rib i took to go and it was still outstanding. George is a legend. So this kinda of double edged sword. The peppercorn soup was outstanding, however adding that much cream/butter is not hard to make things good. Would have been more impressive if it wasn't a cream sauce and more of a brandy sauce as advertised. Great old restaurant, but this trip was a real disappointment. We go each season and have always enjoyed the food. The food was about average. Not worth the price. As a Kansas City native we know our beef and this was not up to standard. May skip this next year. Waitress was good. Her name was Jessica. Do they have a new chef perhaps. |

I had the chefs special Triple Delight with beef, shrimp, and scallops with a dark gravy, and it was very good! The meat was cooked just right and the vegetables were slightly crunchy just the way I like them. For $1, I upgraded to vegetable fried rice. Portion sizes were good. The spring rolls were delicious!! Well worth it, I will go back. My parents often took me here several years ago when there weren\'t very many Vietnamese cuisine offerings in Cleveland. I want to say it was dating back to the mid-90\'s(!). It\'s kind of inconspicuous in a large, barren plaza, and it\'s pretty far off in an area I would otherwise never find myself in. Inside, it\'s a surprisingly large dining area that is probably rarely full. Typical sit-down Chinese restaurant decor: dim lighting, disposable paper zodiac placemats, tea cups, and your usual selection of soy sauce and chili oil. I certainly wouldn\'t use the word "filthy" or "greasy", but it\'s what you\'d expect from a local mom and pop Chinese restaurant.\n\nThis is where I first discovered the goodness that is Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, more affectionately known at Nam Wah as the "Super Bowl". The portions are small today compared to other restaurants now that Viet cuisine has blown up, but they still whip up a delicious bowl, and back then, it was the only place to get such a meal. They have a large, diverse menu that I can\'t speak on because every time I went here I got the Super Bowl. I still go back occasionally despite the better, closer offerings, just to take me back to my childhood.... and it still doesn\'t disappoint.\n\nPrices are reasonable, service is very warm and friendly. Food is average but certainly better than the "fast food" takeout joints. Love the food and service! Best pho in Cleveland hands down! Singapore noodles, salt baked squid, bhan mi, and hot and sour soup are my favorites! Can't go wrong! Well, that was gross.\n\nThe orange chicken is chopped very small and because of that, it is almost inedible and hard. I chipped a tooth eating it. I'm serious. The sauce was very thin and sour. Yuck.\n\nThe house fried rice was standard, hence the two stars. Very overpriced though. You can easily go somewhere cheaper and get the exact same dish. \n\nNot impressed. Won't go back because I don't want the dental bill. Our first visit with new owners. Wish I hadn't waited but I had been turned off by the old decor and food. Both food and decor have been renovated and provide a pleasant dining experience. We had spring rolls, spicy beef and beef brisket pho along with pleasant service. We are planning our return visit today for lunch to get further into the menu....we thoroughly enjoyed this visit. |

Great service! Absolutely amazing servers, always checking up on tables and making sure everything is going okay. \nHuge portion sizes, if you're hungry this is definitely the place to go. They also sell all the local beer and they are all phenomenal. The manager even came and checked in on our table and we had a lovely conversation with him. \n\nWill most certainly be coming back here even if im not staying at the hotel. \n\nPs: the chalk boards are always hilarious The food here is absolutely brilliant. I stayed at the hotel here with my parents before taking off on vacation and they typically do NOT like Turkish foods, yet LOVED this place. \nThe owner came out and talked to us about starting the place up after his decades of experience in the service industry in Turkey and New York and is an absolutely lovely man. \nI would highly recommend this place and I sincerely hope they do well here. Great people, great service and awesome food! Food was great. We had three kids running around like jerks and they didn't mind.\nDoesn't have a licence yet though! A quaint like restaurant with a warm friendly atmosphere. Outstanding value, huge food offerings, and very well prepared. I highly recommend them and I'm certain that I will be back. Looks like I may be the first to review this place. Good. I often stay at the hotel attached to this place. I couldn't swear to this but it appears this restaurant has changed hands a few times over the last few years. \n\nCurrently it appears to have taken on a Turkish flavour, and let me tell ya, those flavours are great. \n\nThree of us ordered from what looked to be a comprehensive cheesy looking menu. I enjoyed a Turkish chicken shish. Never had it previously. My partner ordered a Turkish ravioli and her sister an butter chicken. The food was really flavourful, hot and quickly delivered. \n\nNow don't get me wrong. This dining room is not your posh spot, it's a large dining room with no character beyond that. But the food is real food none of that processed goop. \n\nOur server was a young man who's first language was not English and the owner had to come to his assistance a couple of times. Everyone was friendly and we had a good time. The server recommended a Turkish yoghurt based drink that was a taste treat!\n\nI would recommend the place and I'll certainly return. |

Casual and yet good ambiance, great food and yet affordable price! The options are also good and both times I've been there I have tried different things and I loved them all. Looking forward for a 3rd time :) Nice cheap place for a quick meal. Baos are priced between $4-5 and they have a few other dishes as well, including a limited dim sum selection. \n\nI ordered 2 baos - the jerk chicken and the pork belly. Out of the two, i'd likely try the pork belly again. It was simple - cucumber, hoisin sauce, peanuts, cilantro. I found the jerk chicken a little dry and not enough heat for my taste.\n\nThis location is much more spacious than the Queen/Bathurst location - the only other one I've been to. It's got a large communal table as well as a handful of tables for smaller parties.\n\nGood quick stop if you're in the area. They have a good variety of items so there's enough to entice multiple return visits if you're into baos. So glad Mean Bao opened up in our neighbourhood! It's a great place to grab a quick lunch that packs in a lot of flavour. We normally order their bao's and all of them have been great. I would say two is enough for one person! You can pick the level of spiciness, but we usually go with mild as I like to taste the flavours of braised meat itself. The staff is also helpful in opening the door when I drop by with my daughter in the stroller, although I do wish they had high chairs if we were to choose to have lunch there (especially being in a neighbourhood with a lot of families). This place is very good. After living in China for 4 years we learned to love Xiao Long Bao and have been missing good Dim Sum. Mean Bao is located in an old garage, has simple but functional decor and very cheerful staff.\n\nWe spent $24 and ended up with too much food. Great lunch spot! Food is great, staff are friendly, but ever since they started accepting courier orders (UberEATS and Foodora) the service for walk-ins has really gone downhill. Now there are always long waits (while couriers crowd the entrance). \n\nOtherwise the food is still great. |

Bulgogi is combined with finest steak texture and the flavor of the traditional korean dish, little bit of kimchi served on the side is very refreshing. Arancini served with figs sauce is definitely a surprise. They pay a lot of attention on displaying as well, you will know what I mean if you go there. \n\nEnvironment: Delightful environment, interesting decoration every corner, perfect for dating. After reading about this place in The Village and seeing that it was down the street from our condo, my girlfriend and I headed here for an early dinner.\n\nAfter being seating on the patio, we ordered four dishes, three of which were exceptional. The beer battered squid ink haddock was tender and flaky. The corn salad was light and well-seasoned. The pork belly ssam was crispy and came with two delicious sauces. Finally, the gai lan (Chinese broccoli) was good but somewhat bland compared to the rest of the dishes.\n\nI will definitely be coming back here in the coming months to try more of these excellent dishes. Very good food, nice vibe, friendly people! The restaurant has a nice patio and the inside is also great as they keep their big windows opened (+ cool and authentic Korean decorations all around the restaurant). We started off with fresh albacore tuna and squid ink battered haddock. I loved the haddock, the potatoes were cooked and seasoned perfectly and the haddock was flavourful and crispy. Octopus was very tender, corn salad was a nice side dish to have as it gives you a fresh kick, and cheese in the arancini and its sweet sauce complemented each other very well. Fish of the day, the sea bream, was excellent and its presentation was also great. Lastly, one of their signature menu, ssam, was a Korean pork dish which was juicy and flavourful. I'm glad that I've tried this place. Love the restaurant vibes, the patio extension and the overall decor. Handcrafted cocktails have character and pair well with the food. Loved the gaza mezu. Drink selection appears comprehensive well thought out. My friend ordered a Belgian/Japanese trappist-style beer infused with yuzu. The food ranges from the more classic on the Korean end such as ssam (even these have some slight tweaks/twists to them) or classic on the Canadian/Euro end such as arancini and the delightful creations in between that blur the lines. Gochu sogogi was our favourite and is a must order. Mackerel was well prepared and not fishy at all, and well balanced by the soy-based dip. A very strong showing and welcome addition to the Dundas West/Ossington area. I'll be back for limited time specials, as well as to try the Arctic char, which is apparently cured in-house. Hier nun: habe den allerersten Besuch beim Koreaner hinter mir. Das Lokal ist etwas dunkel gehalten und die Musik war f\xc3\xbcr meinen Geschmack etwas zu laut. Die Karte war kurz und b\xc3\xbcndig: vegetarisch und Fisch. Empfohlen wurde mir die gegrillte Makrele. Angek\xc3\xbcndigt wurde sie mit einer Sojasauce mit Ingwer und Knoblauch sonst nichts. Als eher guter Esser war ich versucht noch ein vegetarisches Gericht dazu zu nehmen, hab's mir aber verkniffen. Die Kellnerin meinte noch es k\xc3\xb6nnte etwas dauern, weil erst jetzt auf den Grill. Die K\xc3\xbcche ist offen zum Gastraum und ich konnte zugucken, toll. Der Fisch wog etwa 400 gr und es war ein Erlebnis! Endlich nicht die schreckliche Kikkoman-Sojasauce sondern was richtiges: wenig Salz viel Geschmack. Dazu der Ingwer und Knoblauch herrlich! Ein wirklicher Genuss. Und \xc3\xbcberhaupt, sind gar keine kleinen Portionen sondern genau richtig, selbst f\xc3\xbcr einen \xc3\xbcbergewichtigen Norddeutschen. |

Two poorly cooked duck breasts. The crab cakes were good. I ordered a salad and asked for it repeatedly during the meal and it arrived after being told three times the chef was making it. Doubt we will return . Will keep Jias at the top of our dining choices. We ran into Brass Monkey for a late lunch. We were the only customers there, which was a little scary. We were greeted by a friendly young lady and seated right away. After reviewing the menu, we chose the lunch special soup Broccoli and Cheese for $1.99 and the Vietnamese Shrimp Summer Roll. 2 for $8.95. Everything arrived promptly. The soup was served with toast points and was delicious. The Summer Roll was served with a great Thai sweet chili and hoisin sauce. With two sweet teas, our bill was $18.00. Great food at a reasonable price. We will go again ! Did not have high hopes but was blown away by the Parmesan crusted salmon (the special). Salmon was cooked medium on the rare side, exactly how I ordered it, and the taste -- from the first bite to the last -- was exquisite. The sweet corn risotto upon which it was served was excellent, and the haricot verts were crunchy and fresh. Partner had the wings and kale Caesar and was similarly approving. Service was great, although it was not a busy night so can't say how it would be if the place were slammed. Can't wait to go back. Could this be the next great restaurant in Gastonia? Seems like this place is being run by a couple of teen kids. The veal porter house was awful. Service was slow and waiter had no clue about what he was selling. Maybe they will get things together later. But not worth the money at this time. Left here hungary and frustrated. Nice new restaurant on Gastonia offering a varied menu with some great choices. I have eaten the crab cakes which were surprisingly good. Also try to Mac& cheese as a side it is excellent. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Flatbread pizzas are great as well, they have duck and lobster pizza! |

The food is fresh and prepared quickly. The staff are very friendly and overall this is a extremely easy way to order take out food. \nI was very pleased with the ease of ordering and the care my order was given. We have purchased food from other Chang Jiang locations and you would think they would put out similar food. But that is not the case. A person I was with wanted to drive a good distance to another location because they said their food was very good. I said, "why not just stop here since it is close to where we are? They should be just as good." They said I would be sorry and they were right. \nOne meal was ok and the other was not ok. I actually threw some of it away. I should have made the trip elsewhere. Average americanised Chinese. My girlfriend and I have ordered take out numerous times. This last time we both ordered the sesame chicken dinner special with an egg roll. After about 8 hrs we both became violently ill. I have had diagnosed food poisoning before and this was it. My guess would be the egg rolls. Again this was an isolated incident, but we will not be eating here again. I've been to 3 Chang Jiang Chinese take outs over the last 16 years in Madison. The first was on the far eastside along a road I can't recall the name of and I enjoyed it well enough to be a repeat customer during the first year I lived in that home. Years later after moving to Middleton 6 years ago I began frequenting the location near Woodman's West and I have been extremely pleased with their service and food. \nTonight I discovered and tried the Fitchburg location. Ordering the house Special Fried Rice, Wonton Soup, Teriyaki Beef and an order of General Tso's Chicken. \nWhen I finally arrived home totally stoked to dig in after smelling it in my car for 30 min's on my drive, I was shocked when I opened the bag to retrieve the Teriyaki Beef and instead find what looks like four slices of thick steaming Beef Jerky. Not a container with (white) or perhaps fried rice, and lots of sliced up meat seared in a glaze of teriyaki sauce and maybe some broccoli to round off the meal with some bright green. Every time in my entire life, when I request the simplest of Asian dishes, asking for a simple Teriyaki Beef means the simple rice and meat thing. Seattle was jam packed with takeout places that sold essentially this meal, being varied usually with chicken or even tofu for the faint of heart who are overly concerned for the well being of our furry or feathered friends from the farms. \nThe second thing I opened to quite a dismaying scowl was the yellow/orange fried rice! Yes, YELLOW ORANGE! Like the crap that gets called Spanish rice at Mexican restaurants such as Laredo's (this just happens to be essentially right next door to this particular Chang Jiang)\nYellow fried rice is not what fried rice is supposed to look like. It's supposed to be prepared with SOY SAUCE! Not Tamarind or yellow number 2 Easter egg dye. Not only was it terrible to look at but it tasted like, well, rice from the crappy new I Love Tacos I will be reviewing probably tomorrow when I get around to it following tonight's disappointing dinner.\nTerrible meal number 3 was the General Tso's Chicken. I've had this dish at dozens of places in Madison alone, and each and every one was somehow much better than the Chang Jiang location in Fitchburg! The red sauce tasted like overly sweetened Sweet n sour sauce with Ketchup blended in to tone down the theatrical blood tint of the jellied sauce! It was horribly oversweet and had zero hint of any recognizable spice, though I asked specifically for the cook to please bump up the heat to be about a 4 star heat rating. The rice that was in this dish too was the Easter egg surprise mentioned previously.\nFinally, the Wonton Soup. This is ALWAYS a hit and miss item at every Chinese place; it seems that every different chef seems to have a phobia from adding too much salt. But fortunately this is easily amended to suit my tastes. Often however the chicken stock itself is bland which need a tad more assistance to bring out the flavor. But tonight's was simply yellow tinted vegetable broth with wontons that contained even more blandness.\n\nSo in short, I could've summed up the entire experience with a simple 1 star rating, but I gave it two because the service was at least very friendly.\n\nIf there is any confusion, I will reiterate that this place isn't any good, and I am strongly suspicious that the chef was pulling double duty as the Mexican Can opener next door for Laredo's which I previously ate a quick one-off meal their a year ago and am reminded that it wasn't much good itself, but at least the piss tinted rice was where it belonged! It\'s cheap for a reason. \n\nIf cheap biomass is what you\'re looking for, then Chang Jiang is the place for you. However, if food quality matters at all, it\'s best to give this restaurant a wide berth. \n\nI had a short window for lunch and perusing the "it\'s cheap and it didn\'t kill me" reviews on Yelp, I figured I\'d roll the dice and order the Mongolian Beef ($5.75) to go. The ordering process went smoothly and my food was neatly packaged and ready to go when I arrived ten minutes later - sweet. \n\nOnce I returned to my office and popped the top off my carryout container, things took a turn for the ugly. A slight grayish hue to the beef was a telltale sign that a bout with gastric distress may be in my future. Amplifying the grossness factor was the pool of grease and gloppy brown sauce at the bottom of the container. Even the accents (flaccid snow peas and limp canned mushrooms) couldn\'t rescue this Hindenburg-esque disaster of a dish. Exercising no self respect and overwhelmed by a morbid sense of curiosity, I tried a couple pieces of the beef. Narsty, narsty stuff - gristly, chewy and largely flavorless. Lunch, meet garbage can.\n\nThere are several stellar Chinese restaurants on the south side of Madison (Orient House and Ichiban to name a few) where I can enjoy a well-prepared meal with quality ingredients. With that said, a return visit to Chang Jiang is not in the cards for me. |

Okay this is an odd one cause well I am not a Trekkie at all but hey I was staying at the Hilton and there was this bar so we had to drink at the home base. Anyway, the first time we went we needed to stop and rest and grab a bite to eat. After we played a little black jack at the $10 tables. I know I am building up the suspense but honestly I never thought I could have so much fun in a Trekkie bar. We met some really nice people along with the staff. We even met a few weird characters from the show. Who by the way freaked me out, intrigued me and made me almost pee my pants! They never break character! Trust me we tried! We got some apps and had a Borg Spear. I highly recommend this potent drink. I am not sure if it is the booze or the dry ice that had me at hello. These drinks we very yummy and put all of us right on our ass. The next time we left the Bellagio and take a cab over to this spot just to sip on a Borg Spear. If I could I would give this spot one of those sweet Trekki na noo na noo hand singles 5X over. As an uber-Trekkie, I had to try Quark's when I went to Star Trek the Experience. How could I not!? It is a great place with costumed characters having fun with the diners. When I was there, a Borg was walking around and he was having a lot of fun screwing with everybody. The food is OK, but it didn't blow me out of the water. The Warp Core Breach (complete with dry ice to make it smoke) on the other hand is amazing. The small one is great for 2-3 people and the full sized one for bigger groups. They also have Romulan Ale and Klingon Blood Wine if you are not in the mood for a huge drink. RIP Quark's Bar and the Star Trek Experience. Hilton, you blew it. This was the only reason my posse ever came to visit this overpriced behemoth of an old-school, aging hotel Quark's Bar is geek haven! It's fun and cheezy, so make sure you bring a sense of humor.\n\nDuring our short vacation we went to Quark's twice! Both times we sat at the bar, enjoying the company of the other patrons (fellow geeks), the continual feed of Next Generation episodes on the flat-screen and the delicious, potent drinks. \n\nI dare you to be berated by a tall, menacing Klingon and not leave with a smile on your face! As of September 1 2008, the Star Trek Experience and Quarks will be no more.\n\nUpon finding out the impending closing date was set, my wife and I went to Vegas specifically for both the ride and the bar. We had been before and always found friendly Star Trek nerds at the bar. Our bartenders and waiters were quite speedy. I never came for the food, but rather just the atmosphere and actors, all of whom were deep in character and made the entire trip as worth it for me as they could.\n\nI will miss the ride and the Bar. Live Long and Prosper Quarks. |

I guess only thing good about this place is its open 24 hours ... The chicken burrito tasted like caned chicken /tuna .... That was just way too salty... I just feel they can do alot better ... Just very low qaulity mexican food they have to step it up if they wanna survive here in vegas ...sorry ...but not sorry ....i just wouldnt recommend.... So much better than Roberto's, for real! Open 24hrs! And they have a drive thru! and the have aguas frescas! Pretty much any Mexican plate you can think of on the menu. I like the tacos de cabeza, Birra's bomb.com, barbacoa, chile relleno, it's pretty much all good. Asked the cook for grilled onions no problem. Staff friendly and place seems clean, compared to Roberto's. WOW!! I was in this neighborhood today taking the Free CCW Class at the Gun Store and being one that supports Local over National Chains (there is a Taco Bell, Arby's, McDonalds & KFC surrounding this place and I DO NOT Eat Crap Fast Food so it was a No Brainer) So I stopped in and got a Chicken Burrito($6.49) and it was probably one of the best I have EVER had and it was HUGE!! I will be making a special trip to go back (like a REWARD after a long bike ride to the end of the valley) and will have them add a little cheese & sour cream. This burrito was ALL KILLER & NO FILLER with alot of chicken. I'm so glad they are not closer to my neighborhood because it would be so hard to resist not going there several times a week. TRY IT. Period. 24 hour drive thru Llegamos de casualidad a este restaurant mis hijos y yo por primera y ultima vez, al entrar se siente un mal olor cuando nos entregan la comida cada taco tenia 5 cucharadas de aceite(lo comprobe precionando un taco) aceite reusado tenia sabor a pescado y para colmo habia cucarachas en la pared lo cual hizo que mis hijos pararan de comer.....a las 3 de la ma\xc3\xb1ana mi hijo se despierta llorando del dolor de estomago.....la peor comida en toda mi vida!! |

Typical airport prices and okay bar food, but good service. Great service, drinks were top notch! Space can be a little tight at times but a little bumping elbows never hurt anyone in a bar.\n\nMusic selection is spot on and the food rocks. Had myself some grilled cheese sliders w/ bacon and tomato. \n\nGreat place to spend your layover.right next to A5. Took the place of the mediocore Fox Sports Grill.\n\nI had a water and a Barfly burger. The burger had cheese, lettuce, tomato and 1000 island dressing on a decent bun. Came with fries and a little thing of ketchup.\nBurger was good, well cooked but the patty didn't have any flavor. The 1000 island dressing gave it a good tang.\nFries were blah.\nWater was good :)\n\nI'd go back, it was a nice place. Anything is better than the Fox place or the sausage place down by A13. It's OK. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, allowing us to sit while they were clearing up for the night. Good selection of beer, expensive appetizers of the usual kind. Pleasant ambiance for an airport bar with comfortable seating allowing us to people watch while we drank $7 20oz beers. It's an airport bar - so it's better than most. I'd go back. Not bad, not bad...but not great either. Gets 4 stars for the look of the place. It definitely doesn't feel like it belongs in an airport. Very cool and hip vibe to it. Customer service was top notch as well.\n\nFood was decent. I ordered some chips and guacamole which were pretty decent. They didn't have any vegan options so I went with the Chicken pita minus the chicken. Meh.\n\nBeer selection was underwhelming. 7-8 different with the best one being Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Only two local Phoenix beers on tap.\n\nPretty good stuff for being in an airport. |

Get the bruschetta (garlic/basil) and for a main, the Aglio olio, you will not be disappointed, the best gnocchi I've had :) Here you can order food with your salt! All 4 of our dished were loaded with salt but it was late and we were tired and didn't send it back. The nice setting did not overcome the lousy expensive food. Hard to understand why it is so crowded. Nice big patio on Clinton overlooking the traffic on College. The service was friendly and the food good, although I always find a solitary portion on lasagna alone on a large plate to look a little lonely - the plating could certainly be nicer.\n\nThey lose a star for a somewhat dated menu - some of the long-standing restaurants on College can be pretty conservative, and this was most evident in the cocktail menu - the server told me that she was also the bartender and that a Manhattan was easy - a warning sign for me, as were the Sex in the City era martinis. Save the fancy drinks for any number of talented mixologists found at newer spots along the strip. This place is adorable with a cute patio and nice indoor ambience. The food was great and the wait staff was incredible and very attentive. Our only complaint about the whole experience was the manager the night we dined. He rushed us in and through our meal and the whole time seemed like he was trying to turn the table over as fast as possible with little care as to how we were enjoying ourselves - largely just making us feel like a nuisance. The rest of the staff though were all wonderful and redeemed the night for us. If you are reading this review, you are likely wondering why I gave Trattoria Giancarlo only two stars. I will now share my experience.\n\nThis evening, my husband and I along with another couple, decided to try this restaurant after hearing some positive reviews. We arrived for our reservation at approximately 8:15 and were seated promptly in the wine bar area. Our server, Wayne, was quite cordial and immediately greeted us.\n\nFrom the moment we were seated, we began getting somewhat irritated by a large table two tables away from us. Apparently a birthday was being celebrated and the group of 10 women was exceedingly noisy. I kindly asked Wayne if he could suggest that the women tone it down a notch and he immediately responded that he would not do this.\n\nThe table next to us (and between us and the noisy women) also began to get irritated and asked the manager, Tony, to please see if the women would kindly be a little quieter. Tony refused quite rudely. The patron at the next table decided he would take matters into his own hands and ask the women to please quiet down and he did so in a very pleasant and cordial manner. They apologized and agreed to be somewhat quieter. At that point, Tony walked over to the sound system volume control on the wall near the bar and immediately turned the music up to an intolerable volume.\n\nThe patron at the next table asked Tony if he was doing that deliberately and Tony approached their table and abruptly told the man he had no right to tell other customers to keep it down. The patron responded that had Tony done it himself when he was asked, he would not have had to do it himself! Tony then told the man and his guests that they should just "agree to disagree and maybe this is not the restaurant for you." We overheard this conversation and were appalled that a manager would speak this way. The patron asked Tony if he wanted them to leave the establishment and Tony replied, "Yes." The two couples immediately got up and left the restaurant.\n\nWe decided to stay and continue our meal but were quite uncomfortable remaining in the restaurant. Not once did Tony come by to apologize for his behaviour nor did he ever approach our table to ask if we were enjoying our meals. Wayne, our waiter, also never spoke a word about Tony\'s uproar which was quite bothersome to us.\n\nSo, you are probably wondering, so, how was the food? \nOur heirloom tomato, cucumber, feta and onion salad was very tasty. Our friends liked their mushrooms and polenta as well as the large insalata. My husband ordered branzino and specifically requested it be deboned in the kitchen. It arrived to the table whole and not deboned so he sent it back to be done. He said it was very tasty as was my snapper. Our friends enjoyed their lamb and veal chop. The portions were nicely sized and the sides were generous as well.\n\nWe elected not to have dessert as we honestly just wanted to leave the restaurant. We were surprised that given one last opportunity when giving us the bill, Wayne did not quietly apologize for the unnecessary commotion that went on during our dining experience. In addition, he should have quietly apologized for Tony\'s totally inappropriate behaviour.\n\nWould we return? Never. Any restaurant that employs a manager that is verbally abusive to its patrons is not an establishment that we would revisit. Disrespect is something I would tolerate at MacDonalds, not at Trattoria Giancarlo.\n\nTony, you spoiled a lovely Saturday evening for two parties of four. You do not deserve to work with the public and are a detriment to Trattoria Giancarlo. Although you elected to not suggest to a noisy table that they be a little quieter, we on the other hand, have no problem telling everyone we know that they do NOT ever, EVER dine at your restaurant. |

Went in and right away I was welcomed by the waitress..now that's customer service. I gotta say the first thing I noticed was the d\xc3\xa9cor, very rustic and charming. Ahh yess the food...the food price was a little high for what the chef delivered. I had ordered La Buffalo Bill, beleive me this dish is very good but it also had its downfall. The sauce the chef chose was a little to strong therefore overpowering the Buffalo's and brie taste. Overall the dish was good and I would definitely come again. Belle ambiance , bon plats et bon choix:) petit b\xc3\xa9mol... Il ne vendent pas de bouteille d'eau plate et l'eau de st jerome servie est vraiment pas bonne ! Quelques que erreurs dans le services j'ai pris une sangria blanche et j'ai eu une sangria rouge :( mais les erreurs sont humaines Fine Poutine & Cholesterol is a fancy little bistro in the heart of "downtown" St. Jerome. If you happen to go at the hip hours, you\'ll be lucky to find a seat (or parking on the street). It\'s just that good.\n\nThe atmosphere is dark and cozy and the decorations are woodsy and charming. When it comes to the food, I assure you the poutine is well worth getting! Way too many dinners in the Laurentians make their poutine gravy with chicken stock. Down in Montreal, it\'s usually made with beef stock. But at Fine Poutine & Cholesterol, they make it with Port wine stock. And believe me, it\'s as amazing as it sounds.\n\nThe price of a large poutine, a fried calamari and two drinks plus tip came to a measly 45$! Fine eating for reasonable prices. We hit this place up every time we\'re in town! |

I should have known when we walked in on Saturday at 12:30 PM and there was no one (not exagerating) there. But we were hungry and hot so we stayed. I wanted shrimp tacos but no shrimp at tacos del MAR...just frozen fish that you need to order 5 minutes ahead because they need to microwave it. It's breaded and precut...couldn't they at least get the kind that has different shapes and looked like it wasn't completely processed? The kids had bean burritos which they usually love anywhere but didn't like at all. My husband's chicken burrito tasted like a school cafeteria. The clincher was that the unsweetened ice tea tasted rancid. I think they let the tea bags go bad or something. Gross and how annoying that they don't have seafood. Wahoo tacos from La Jolla please come here to AZ!!! Another chain restaurant that gets a better than passing review. \n\nTaco del Mar is a block from my office--one star\nThey're always friendly and get my order right--two stars\nToday the person behind the counter recommended a great burrito--three stars\nThey offer a wide variety of average Mexican faire at reasonable prices--four stars\n\nSome people may not agree with me, but Taco del Mar is what it is, fast food. When I choose to eat here it's because it's convenient, not because they offer the best Mexican food in the valley. It fills a need. That's why I give them four stars. If they had crappy food and crappy service it would be another story!\n\nIf you're on Camelback at 40th and you're hungry, pull in to Taco del Mar. I am not writing this review to be mean, but I truly disliked this place. The place needs a facelift, it's struggling in comparison to any of the other places in close proximity- and yes I understand it's much cheaper. I tried it on a Tuesday when they even had a special, so it was cheaper than usual even. The decor is a little bit of a timewarp, and it wasn't very clean- there was 1 person in the place; usually a major red flag but hey 2 tacos for like 5.99 what the heck? Then I realized it was 7pm, so I almost walked off. I was drawn to a sign that was implying there food was somewhat healthy. Wrong. Now for the bad part- the food. Really sad and bland, reheated food. Those tacos were bad, and I'm not very picky. The beans might have been the most pathetic thing I've ever tasted, and were a little burnt from sitting in that pan all day. How do you mess up beans if you're a Mexican restaurant? I guess the 1 star should go to the nice employee who nobly served me the jail food. He had a very defeated look, as if to plead with me to RUN. He was nice though- he would be wise to apply at one of the many stellar places right in tacos del mar backyard. If I was the owner of this establishment I would probably renovate and reinvent the joint quite a bit, the rent can't be cheap in this area and there is quite the competition. I'm 52, I've lived in AZ for 40 years and this was: THE WORST MEXICAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN! Prison cafeteria's surely have more sophisticated fare. It appears that everything must be sourced from a North Dakota Presbyterian luncheon. The worst chips, salsa and queso and thinner than water (is that possible? Apparently so! I even gave them back the queso and they offered to give me more and I said no thank you, but they said they'll give me some that was not watered down. Seriously? Who waters down cheese sauce? The three slow, unmotivated, cell-phone using staff made the whole experience just plain crappy. Fire the lot of them, close the place down and start fresh. I can\'t believe this place is still open, much less my having eaten there out of desperation today; I was in the shopping center, starving, and figured the last time I ate here 3 years ago that it couldn\'t be that bad... well, was I ever wrong. 3 years ago I had a hard time figuring out what to order because I\'d never been there and all I remember is wanting to avoid any of the \'wonder-meat\' sitting in the steamer. I just got a taco salad, and it wasn\'t very good.\n\nANYTHING you order here (other than what came out of a can) is pure slop. Any meal will be swimming in soupy stuff because one look at their meat and ALL of it\'s literally swimming in liquid. The guy behind the counter continually kept stirring each bucket of meat, which looked like soup, as though stirring it would keep it fresh. When you choose a meat, a spoon/strainer combo\'s used in order to minimize the water you get with your meat. Once you get your platter of gruel and sit down, as you eat, your plate\'s just swimming in soupy crap left over from all the meat being steamed all damned day. The menu is so limited that you just stand there wondering WTF to order - it all looks the same, probably because it IS all the same: TOTAL SLOP. Like I said, it\'s just mind boggling how this place does ANY business much less how it stays in business. But hey, they CATER!\n\nThis place honestly makes Taco Bell look like a family owned 5-star restaurant. Do yourselves a HUGE favor and never ever eat here. If you do eat here after reading this, the ol\' phrase "I told you so" will be spinning around your head, and you\'ll feel like a total idiot to boot.\n\nThe only positives I can say about Taco Del Mar is:\n\n- the guy working behind the counter was nice as nice could be; and\n- the fresh vegetables (lettuce, Pico de Gallo etc) were in fact, fresh.\n\nJust don\'t get anything with meat in it -or- if you want meat, ask the server to put it in a separate bowl so you don\'t wind up with half a cup of brother (or whatever) mixed in with the rest of the slop.\n\nI think this place would serve the local restaurant community best if it was kept around to show others how NOT to run a food business -- if you find yourself needing to get some shopping done at Fresh \'n Easy or a Brazilian wax job next door, atop in Taco Del Mar and take a good look around. Once you\'ve looked the menu over and get a good gander at the meat behind the glass, ask yourself how in the world this place has stayed open as long as it has... commercial property around there ain\'t cheap by any stretch, so I just can\'t figure it out. There sure aren\'t a whole lot of Yelp reviews, I think once people do find their way to Taco Del Mar and decide to grab something to eat, maybe once they\'re finished eating they know they will never return so it\'s not worth Yelping about. |

The service is good. I've been going here for the past 3 years and the quality of the food has been consistent. Prices are great for the amount of food you get and I've found it to be a clean place. Chicken was super dry and it was processed chicken. There are many other chinese hakka food that are better. Manchurian beef chowmein $8.49 - large portions, small amount of beef, not overly spicy. A good filling meal at a decent price. Inside is small but decent amount of seating. The take-out process was nice and quick as there were no lineups. The food was awful, I love Hakka food but the ginger chicken was crap the American chopsuy there special was especailly crap. They should be closed down for imitating Hakka food. The chow mein was decent except I asked for chow mein with chicken and shrimp instead I got chow mein with hardly any chicken and no shrimp. Let me say there are way better Hakka places in the area The Spicy Dragon Chicken is PHENOMENAL! Honestly, I didn't really like anything other than dragon chicken but that dragon chicken was so good that I'd go back just for that. \n\nThe interior was nice but there were a lot of kids so it was pretty loud. The service was good however I felt that the waiters were nicer to some people and not all. \nRecommendation:\nSpicy Dragon Chicken! |

I didn't end up eating my meal but we'll get to that... So I'll start from the beginning. \n\nI am a vegan and usually theres always something for me to eat when I go out to a restaurant. I was with a party of 6 so 1 week prior a friend made the reservation and told the lady to put on file that there will be 1 vegan at the table. So the night before we go to Harvest I decided to give them a call just to make sure they knew I was vegan and to see what they recommended (which was the mediterranean strudel and it does have cheese in it but can easily be removed) Sounds wonderful. Perfect. I'll have that.\n\nUpon arrival the waiter met us at the table, I looked him in the eyes and said I was the vegan and this dinner was also for my birthday. He acknowledges and takes our drink orders. 3 out of the 6 people get their drinks. 20 minutes go by and the other 3 of us still don't have our drinks. We get up and ask whats taking so long, they bring it about 10 minutes later. The confusion was when we ordered 2 caesars and a pepsi he thought.... caesar salad ..... ok what ever no big deal. \n\nNow comes time to order the food. I once again reiterate that I am vegan and the mediterranean strudel was recommended to me without cheese so I'll go with that. Amazing. Great. Can't wait to try this delicious meal. So food comes and it looks unreal ! I start on my veggies to the side of the plate and my fianc\xc3\xa9 said wow that looks awesome can I have a bit? So he digs in... Stops... says uhm thats goat cheese in the middle. I said what the hell, no way. Iv'e told them 4 times.. not once.. 4 TIMES ! Everyone at the table tries it and all in agreement that indeed there is goat cheese in the strudel. \n\nWaiter comes over and I show him the cheese, he profusely apologizes and asks if he can get me anything else. I say absolutely not. Wife of the chef comes over apologetic and also asks if I would like anything else and once again I said no. At this point I just wanted to leave. \n\nI still don't know who's fault this was, waiter or chef or both but to me that was ridiculous and unacceptable. Was it because I just said I was vegan that they didn't really pay attention? What if I said I was lactose or very allergic to dairy, would that have made a difference? \n\nOur bills come (not fast enough) and the waiter tells me that they have taken off the strudel for me... Well ya of course I'm not paying for that. So our $40.00 bill some how turned into $101.00 ?? How incompetent are you people. Apparently he made huge mistakes and all of our bills were mixed up. 40 minutes later our bills are figured out and everyone is miserable. 7:45 reservation and we left there after 10:30. Poor service, poor attention to details, poor time management. \n\nI will never return here even if someone paid me. Save your money. We celebrated our anniversary at this lovely little tucked away restaurant in Brooklin. We were seated at a table upstairs in a somewhat cosy nook and while there were other diners nearby it still felt quite intimate. \nI started with the crispy baked cauliflower with a lovely tandoori barbeque sauce and my husband had fresh Caesar salad which was not overdressed. We had ordered the smoked mac & cheese to share as a side which never came but that was fine with us because between appetizers and our main course we were full at the end of dinner. Hubby had the Cornish hen with polenta fries which were tender yet crispy and I had the salmon on a bed of soba noodles. Little salty but the salmon was done to perfection and just the right potion. The service was efficient and not overly personal which was fine by us. We do plan to return to have that yummy sounding mac & cheese and perhaps indulgent dessert. The patio looks lovely so look forward to returning in warmer weather! We had a great meal here for my birthday and were treated well and fed well. The martini was pretty good but not dirty enough for my taste. I highly recommend this place. Excellent food and service. Quality settings in true Broolkin style. The BBQ Cauliflower and grilled Brussels sprout appetizers are out of this world. Highly recommend! Congratulations to Brian and his wife Tanja Semenuk on opening this new gem in downtown Brooklin.\nWe booked a group of about 16 people for a dinner to come and support our friend's new restaurant.\n\nThe service for such a large group was exceptional.\nThe menu selections were all so tempting it made it difficult to choose.\n\nFor such a large group not one person had a single complaint about their meal. Everyone loved their food. People were all trying each other's food and loved everything!\n\nA definite must try! You won't be disappointed. |

It's a nicely decorated restaurant and feels really fancy. I thought the service was exceptional, the waiter came by a couple times asking if we needed anything which was awesome. We were given complimentary shrimp chips with dip, then our main dishes came pretty quickly, and it was amazing! The portions are good for the price. It tastes very authentic and of good quality. It is also extremely vegan friendly! All around great experience and I would definitely come again! Editing because almost every time I've eaten here it's amazing. I think one time we had food that was a little less perfect than normal, but it was still good. \nOG Review: \nSo good, best Thai I've had in 10 yrs in Toronto. \nWe've tried the curry, basil noodle with beef, fried rice, kids noodle dish, wonton, spring rolls, the fried squash fritters, and the mango sticky rice. That mango sticky rice is decadent. Even the takeout is presented nicely. We've enjoyed every dish!! Maybe the beef wasn't top quality, but everything else has been, and the beef was still better than most. The chicken is perfect in every dish. The spicy curry was phenomenal. \nIt's very expensive, but I think you are definitely paying for quality and effort. The staff are also very nice, which these days is pretty refreshing! A friend invited me to have dinner at a newly opened restaurant co-owned by a friend of his, at The Beaches in Toronto. I am giving this rating based only on the food that we tried because other factors like service would not be that unbiased. \n\nThe pad Thai with shrimp and chicken was very good! Actually on the menu, the option is only for a choice of meat. My friend had wanted to order the chicken version but I pointed out that for pad Thai, using shrimp will give it a better flavor so he made a special request for adding shrimp. The taste was very authentically Thai, so you will not disappoint unless you have grown accustomed and swear by the other more prevalent version in the west which I summarize as ketchup noodle. \n\nThe pad see yew, the less famous noodle dish, is called the soya noodle on the menu. It was also very authentic Thai, where the flat rice noodle is beautifully flavored and flamb\xc3\xa9 'd with dark soya sauce and served with green crunchy stir fried Chinese broccoli green, carrot and chicken of meat. Chicken or beef would go very well for this dish. \n\nWe also had one of their signature dishes, their spicy holy basil chicken, another favorite Thai dish: minced chicken stir fried with Thai hot peppers, basil leaves, long string beans, in possibly Maggi arome saveur sauce, and served with jasmine rice and topped with a fried egg. Also very authentically cooked, the only variation would be the amount of heat from the hot peppers that you can request. \n\nTheir mango sticky rice, a Thai dessert, was very pretty but also very delicious, again very authentic. Leave some room for that. Would love to go back next time for the curries and tom yum soup\n\nThe only downside was that it took somewhat longer than usual to get our food. It is a new restaurant so maybe the chef is still trying to get used to the kitchen and the momentum. Food is definitely very authentic, and staff was very nice to us (of course) but I noticed he was also very attentive to the other diners and put in effort to chat with customers. Came here on a Saturday night with Jen, close to where Queen Street East literally begins, which is away from the craziness of downtown. Feeling the urge for some delicious Thai food we came across Pattaya Thai Kitchen. \nUpon entering the ambiance is romantic with hint of Thai and contemporary fixtures, I absolutely fell in love with this place because of how cute and quaint it is.\nOur server was very friendly and attentive but also provided us some recommendations while we browsed the menu.\nWith the great selection of authentic dishes, we narrowed it down to the following:\n\nSquash Fritters - beautiful presentation, fresh in-house made, very creative, served with a sweet sauce. I would recommend this. \nCoconut soup- Jen had and enjoyed this, the broth was flavorful.\nCurry Pad Thai - Melody of flavors, portion and presentation bang on!\nPanang Curry - can't say much, but based on Jen's feedback she liked this dish. \n\nI will be returning very soon! one of the best places that I've tried for Thai food. this place is pretty small, located close to the beach. the guy that helped us was very nice and would refill our water quickly. even with just one server our food came very quickly and we even got a free snack to start which was shrimp chips and some curry with peanuts \n\nI got the chicken pad Thai and it was one of the best I've had. it came with a perfect portion and was $15.45. it was sweet and had many ingredients mixed in. I also asked for hot sauce and the one they gave complimented it perfectly !! 4.5/5\n\nthe green curry was also pretty good but it was a smaller portion. tasted authentic and included a lot of chicken which is always good also costed $15.45 4/5 \n\nthe chicken curry fried rice here is also delicious!! it also came with a good portion for $15.45 and had a lot of flavours however had a little too much green onions. it also included many veggies and a good amount of chicken. 4/5 \n\noverall a solid Thai place with authentic food and if you get take out or delivery you get 10% off if you pay cash!! would recommend this to others :) |

The seafood pasta is super salty!! We came at a late Friday night. The place was half empty but cozy and well decorated. Ordered a sea food pasta and a salmon dish. The salmon was fresh and tasty, but $27 with nearly nothing but two small pieces of potatoes. The pasta was well presented, and the sea food looks fresh. However it was VERY VERY VERY SALTY!! After one bite, I had to drink a full glass of water to rinse the salty taste down. We asked for an exchange, then waited a long time for it to come. Finally we told them to cancel it, then it got ready in one second. So spent $70 in return with a packed food and hunger home. I recently went here with my husband and son on a whim and we are so glad we did. The food was fantastic especially the zucchini flower appetizer, the main pasta dishes and veal chop were amazing and their gelato rocks! The service was spot on ranging from the friendly and attentive wait staff (I don't think I had to pour my wine even once) to the what I assume was the owner checking on tables to ensure a pleasant dining experience.\nWe will definitely be going back. I will start by saying the service was awesome\n\nFor starters we had the calamari, stuffed eggplant and the anchovies \n\nFor our mains we had the lobster stuffed ravioli penne vodka chestnut gnocchi and the salmon\n\nUs gentleman had the the smaller steak cut into slices cooked to perfection with arugula \n\nFor dessert we had ice cream tiramisu and the Mille foglie \n\nEverything from start to finish was excellent, the server was informative and made some very good suggestions \n\nThis has need my 5th time here and I will say it's been very consistent \n\nIf you like pasta pls try the lobster ravioli, I have even included a picture of them..... absolutely delicious This restaurant is a unique Italian restaurant even for north of Toronto. The owners and menu is from the Amalfi Coast of Italy, so not the same old Italian menu.\n\nThe place is fairly small and packed most weekends. Not the greatest place for kids because of the small confines. The staff are sophisticated and knowledgeable. One time I was here my wife asked to have shrimp to one of the dishes. The owner came out and suggested that we don't do that because they cannot promise that this will taste as good after being modified. He appeared to be somewhat insulted by the request. Some might be put off by such service, but this is exactly what I expect from an authentic Italian restaurant and I was quite impressed.\n\nFood is superb quality. Had our work Christmas party here. Restaurant decor and atmosphere very nice. Food was very good but some dish portions are tiny. I had the arugula salad and eggplant parmigiana which were both delicious. |

The chef was extremely friendly and everything served to us was incredibly fresh. The portions were more than sufficient and the pricing was affordable. \n\nThe only negative was that when my sister and I went the restaurant was completely empty, so you might have a quiet atmosphere. But the food is definitely worth a visit! High end Italian food, in an unassuming tratorria style hideaway. You'll feel at home whether in jeans or business casual.\n\nThe korean born, italian trained chef, was totally hands on; from the welcome, right through to the finish. \n\nWe had the five course prix fixe meal for two; which for $45/person, had an abundance of choices and substance to tease the tastbuds and satiate our appetites.\n\nRecommend you check it out, before word of mouth makes desireable reservations difficult to obtain. We had a wonderful meal here. The chef was personable and friendly, the food was delicious and he was very generous. The four of us got an appetizer that came with 6 portions- he gave us two extra so it would be even. Then after dinner and drinks, he came out with some fresh honeydew melon drizzled in honey as a dessert, free of charge! I didn't even think I liked melon, but this was delicious.\n\nMy pasta was wonderful, full of flavour. We all really enjoyed the food, and will be coming back. It may look like a hole in the wall, but don't judge a book by its cover. Admittedly the chicken (I love the chicken Alfredo) can sometimes be a tad overcooked, but it's still my go to. The bruschetta is definitely worth it too. The value for money is also excellent.\n\nThe food aside, the service is second to none. Chef Marino is quite a character, and even though I've only been a handful of times over the past 3 or so years, he will remember you. I don't have enough good things to say about Agio! Just be careful not to miss it, since it is a bit small. \n\nThe bread that is first served is very, very good. The first time I dined here, we received a zucchini/squash appetizer. The second time, we had grilled asparagus. Though I usually would pass on zucchini, both appetizers were so delicious! Marino's chicken alfredo linguine is amazing. His alfredo sauce is the best I've had! They tend to be heavier, but Marino's alfredo sauce is creamy yet much lighter than many alfredo sauces. The pasta is also freshly made, and it definitely contributed to how tasty the dish was. \n\nMy favorite part of both meals I've had at Agio was the cr\xc3\xa8me br\xc3\xbbl\xc3\xa9e. The layer of sugar was thicker than I was used to and was never burnt, and it paired very well with the lightly sweet custard! \n\nMarino, aside from being an amazing chef, is such a sweet man! We came at rather late hours of the day, and he still was so accommodating. If you're the kind to love conversation and stories, he'll be there to humor you! |

I'm really not sure how this place manages to stay in business. So apparently I have this habit, at least last week, of visiting a bar/restaurant during its most dead time. In this case, it was somewhat understandable for Clark Bar & Grill because it was a very uneventful sports week. Regardless, I wanted to check out this place, housed in the old manufacturing warehouse of the historic Clark Bar Candy Co. (RIP) just north of PNC Park.\n\nI wasn't overly impressed with either the menu or beer selections. In fact, there were only five beers on tap and one had just kicked. I ordered the special, a Reuben sandwich with tater tots, which were both decent. I washed it down with a Penn Pilsner (local brew) and then left to go check out another place on the North Side.\n\nThis may be a good spot to hit up before/after a Pirates or Steelers game because of its proximity to both stadiums, but I'm not sure I'd venture back otherwise. Got tickets to the ZoSo concert at Stage AE and decided to switch up my pre-lube location from something other than the Tilted Kilt, River Towne or Bettis Grill. I decided on the Clark Bar. \n\nI\'ve only been to the Clark Bar once before for lunch about three years ago. I remember being impressed with the Boomer Burger and even tweeted the following about it: "Just had a Boomer Burger at the Clark Bar for #lunch. Half pound of deliciousness discovered on the N. Shore of #pgh" (the accompanying pic that I took that day is uploaded here). So I came back to drink a few beers and have some dinner with my lady before the show. \n\nSpeaking of beers, there\'s a limited selection of craft beers here. As of this writing, on tap they\'ve got Penn Marzen, Dogfish Head 60 min and Sam Adams Cold Snap. In bottles there\'s Bells Two Hearted IPA and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (they also listed Blue Moon and IC Light as craft beers but I\'m sorry, I don\'t think so).\n\nI walked in the door at around 5:30 and I noticed that it wasn\'t too crowded; possibly due to the weather. There were four guys at the bar and a couple of tables were occupied but nothing like I\'ve experienced at the establishments on the other side of the parking lot.\n\nWhile waiting for my date to join me, I started with a Sam Adam\'s Cold Snap as a tribute to the day\'s February, single digit, temps before moving on to the Marzen. Both were decent beers, very drinkable, but nothing all that special.\n\nIt was pushing close to 7:00 when we decided to order dinner. By that time we were the only people left in the bar. We asked the bartender about the crowd they get and if this is normal for a Friday night. He said that lunchtime is normally their busiest time and he gets a few regulars that work in the building after 5:00 for a bite and a few drinks. Other than those times, it\'s before and after the ball games that draws the most business (as you would expect).\n\nThe menu is pretty simple offering a few appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches and the "House Specialty" Fish and Chips. There were also specials listed on a chalk board at the entrance announcing drink specials, wings and a Cajun burger. I decided I would go Cajun tonight. My girlfriend settled on a turkey burger. \n\nMy Cajun burger was spicy good delicious; perfectly grilled with a slice of pepper jack cheese and hot pepper rings balanced with a tomato slice and lettuce. I also got a sample slice of my lady\'s turkey burger (yeah, we do that) and it was juicy goodness as well topped with cheddar cheese, onion, lettuce and tomato. Her burger came with slaw and mine with fries.\n\nOverall this is a casual, easy bar. They obviously recognize their Pittsburgh roots and being nestled between the two stadiums they cater to the Pittsburgh sports fan. Photos of past local sports teams and legends adorn the walls in a relatively tasteful manner. But what\'s really cool is all of the autographed baseballs, bats and footballs in the hallway behind the bar.\n\nI\'d recommend this place to any out-of-towner or anyone going to see a ball game or show on the North Shore. I give it a solid 4 stars for ambiance, service and delicious burgers. If the beer selection was better I would have up it to five stars. Note #1: This is housed in the historic D.L. Clark Building, a place where the crunchy, peanut-buttery, chocolate-coated confection known as The Clark Bar was once mass-produced. An old Clark sign can still be seen nearby. Offices and a cigar lounge also occupy the building. \n\nNote #2: The Clark Bar & Grill is open on Saturdays for stadium events and has extended hours for such occasions.\n\nFor something that is supposedly a 20 year-old Pittsburgh institution, it\'s a surprise that it has gone unYelped for so long. Even more suprising is the fact that it never even comes up in conversations. \n\nAlice Cooper was in town to horrify rockers at Stage AE, and Kay needed some grub before the show, so here we came.\n\nCB&G is certainly looking over its shoulder due to its location. A sports fan will be impressed with all the memorabilia that decorates the walls. An autographed and framed Barry Bonds photo hung to the left of Kay\'s pretty little head. \n\nSandwiches and burgers dominate the simple American menu. A septet of salads, a daily soup, various appetizers, and a handful of entrees ranging from Southern fried chicken and gnocchi to broiled salmon round out their roster.\n\nOh, you know I got a burger, despite almost getting the fried chicken. Clark Bar & Grill offers 8 different kinds, but I went for the Boomer Burger, which they allege to be their "classic" burger. \n\nLettuce, tomato, onion, and mayonnaise (my standard build) fixed up this sturdy juicer of a patty with an even sturdier bun holding it all. \n\nIt had the most elegant and beautiful melt I\'ve ever seen or eaten on a burger. Whoever grilled this must have use the cover-and-steam method like a Zen master for the golden American cheese caparisoned the luscious beef croquette like an evening gown would a baroness. CB&G has other more adventurous burgers on their menu, but who needs bleu cheese, black raspberry BBQ sauce, garlic, or Thousand Island Dressing when this kind of brilliant economy is just as satisfying? \n\nAlso exquisite was the toasty pile of unpeeled french fries; hot oil-plunged perfection. \n\nIf you went into a 5 star restaurant, were allowed to order whatever your palate desired, and chose a diner burger/fries combo, this is what you\'d get.\n\nKay will likely do her own review, but Kay\'s Broiled Fish (cod with either Cajun or lemon pepper seasoning) didn\'t seem to excite her a heckuva lot. The common brownie a la mode was CB&G\'s sole dessert that day. Upon asking our proficient and kindly waitress Jill about the brownie\'s origins, she sheepishly admitted that it was frozen and then reheated. Hurm. \n\nI have a feeling Kay\'s gonna give them a 3, but based on what I ordered, CB&G deserves a solid 4 stars. Skip the Tilted Kilt and try The Clark Bar & Grill for something sane, affordable, and respectable if a pre-event meal on the North Shore is what you need. \n\nP.S. I am a little befuddled that the restaurant doesn\'t offer a dessert involving Clark Bars. Can they be deep fried? They can at least be incorporated into homemade vanilla ice cream, no?\n\nP.P.S. I don\'t know how busy this place gets during Pirates or Steelers games since nothing was going on when we visited yesterday evening aside from the concert. I went here for lunch and got the grilled cajun chicken sandwich and salad, both of which were fine. The service was really good. Overall, not a bad place, but nothing spectacular. |

It states it's Chinese fusion but I find it pretty authentic. \n\nI love how they have combo sets. I always order the spicy seafood noodle with black bean sauce noodles. The spicy noodle is just the right amount of spice with savoury seafood soup. Their noodles aren't like other Korean restaurants, as my mom would say it, it has a bouncy texture. \n\nThe black bean noodle isn't my favourite but it compliments the spicy seafood noodle. There's a sweet aftertaste. \n\nMy friend ordered the mapo tofu on rice. The plate is as big as two heads! I don't normally eat rice, but the rice here has a nice aroma to it with a chewy texture. \n\nOverall, great place to get affordable good Korean food. Hit or miss. When I came here for dinner as a party of 4, all the dishes we ordered came out piping hot, fresh, and tasty. We ordered set B which gives you all the core Korean Chinese dishes you are looking for. This set was recommended for 3-4 people if I remember correctly, but it\'s good for 6 people easily. \n\nI went back for lunch on Saturday with my husband a couple weeks after. I ordered jajangmyun & jjambbong and my husband ordered jajangmyun & tangsooyuk. You get two different dishes in "one" bowl so that you can try both dishes without ordering too much. This is such a great addition to their menu because as far as I know no other Korean Chinese restaurants in the gta offers these items. Kimchi was super sour almost inedible even for me (I am Korean). Sweet and sour pork aka tangsooyuk was chewy and dry. I could tell right away that they were reheated, not freshly made to order. I was very disappointed because the best dish I had when I went there for dinner was tangsooyuk! I think they had leftovers from the night before, so they just reheated for my husband\'s order. If we ordered the full plate of tanksooyuk they might have made new ones fresh. We went there as soon as they opened which might have been a mistake. There were still 2 tables who already got their orders and more people coming in shortly after we placed our orders though.\n\nDespite the great dinner I had here, the fact that they are willing to serve borderline inedible kimchi and old tangsoouk really put me off. I would not recommend this place. When you come here when it's not too busy, it's a fantastic experience. Delicious food, good service, decent prices and plaza lot parking! I personally wouldn't stray from the surefire Korean-Chinese menu items like jjajangmyun, jjamppong, tangsooyuk, kkanpoongi, rajogi, etc. but they do offer a bunch of other rice and noodle dishes for the more adventurous (though they are hit and miss, as to be expected). \n\nWhen the place IS busy however, the service goes way downhill. Multiple times I've been seated after a long wait only to be completely ignored (sometimes even after asking to order) until a server waiting on the adjacent table notices our empty table and hurries over. Food is slow to come out, the side radishes/onions often don't show up and tea/water is never refilled. I think declining quality of service relative to busyness is true for most restaurants and is honestly to be expected, but Sunny Dragon seems to manage it poorer than most. I've been a loyal customer for probably most of my life to this restaurant ever since i was little ! I live pretty close by so i go their often for lunch when i'm to lazy to cook for myself or i go when my family wants to go as well.\n\nI suggest going with a group but going with a group or family around peak hours (lunch and dinner) as it may feel a little awkward eating alone but out side of that its pretty quiet there.\n\nI really enjoy the service as the waitresses are very friendly, food portions are pretty huge and tastes great. prices seem pretty fair and if you bring friends to split the bills on side dishes its even better!\n\nMy favourite thing to get is the Jajang myun (black bean noodles) tang soo yuuk (sweet and salty sauce on deep fried pork strips) split bowls. they have combo deals with sides and main dishes for groups and stuff also so i suggest that when you in groups! They also do take out so you can bring the food home and eat it! \n\nOn weekends it gets pretty backed so i suggest you make reservations if possible also, so if you plan on eating and want it to be quiet i suggest you avoid weekends and just order takeout! The food is decent price and pretty good. I give it a 2 because of their service. We found hair embedded inside one of their fried dishes and the lady gave us a couple of drinks and then told us to still pay for the dish....Would you eat and pay for a dish that had hair? Their service i give it a zero cus she even argued with us for a good five minutes on how we still had to pay. We ended up paying and leaving unhappy. The old owner before the chef bought the store over was much nicer. She definitely had more customer service before she retired. I think since the chef bought the store over lacks service in numerous ways. The food itself is pretty good. Just be careful. |

Played 18 holes and had a great time. Will be returning in the future. They should be ashamed to charge over $50 to golf this goat track, fairways are poor, greens are terrible, no sand in traps. What a disgrace! The course is not very long but does have a range and restaurant. The course was priced very reasonable. It was difficult to determine where the greens were. There were a lot of dog legs . The course was wet and too soggy . It played a lot longer than advertised. The ground around the greens made it difficult to chip. There were also a lot of trees definitely a lot more challenging Tried their food for the first time their breakfast burrito was great , reasonable prices and great service Course is not in the greatest shape and doesn't look like it's tended too very well. No marshal, no beverage cart and had groups coming on randomly at different holes slowing up the pace of play. Service in the restaurant was fantastic and very friendly though and the food was pretty good for club food. |

Service was great and the food came out quickly. That is a plus! The chicken was tender and flavorful. The shrimp was "okay" - nothing to write home about. The macaroni salad was average. Let\'s face it - part of the Hawaiian BBQ experience is the awesome macaroni salad and this didn\'t cut it. It was dry and tasteless. They didn\'t have napkins available nor did they have sauces available other than the prepackaged soy sauce. Meh. I\'ll stick with my regular place from now on. My wife and I have frequented this restaurant since it opened.We used to go to Aloha Kitchen,but no more.Not only is the service much more pleasant,they also make their luau pork everyday.not just Wed and Sat.Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.Best chicken Katsu,bbq chicken,and fried fish are my wifes faves.I also luv the short ribs and luau pork.Please give these folks a try,you will come back. New to the area and was looking for a place to grab some food. Glad I came here! Food is spectacular and their customer service is beyond friendly and professional. Destiny made sure that food was good and helped me choose between the pineapple chicken and bbq chicken. Will definitely be coming back! Was at the college at lot longer than expected so we went across the street and ate here for dinner. Felt like simple homey food to us, not overly saucy or dolled up, and enjoyed it. Had pretty consistent customer traffic while we were there so I'm sure a lot more people enjoy it. This place is really nice. Walked in immediately got greeted ordered my food I had the spicy chicken my daughter had the Hawaiian bbq with Katsu it was amazing. All the tables were clean the staff was really nice made sure to ask if we were ok a few times. I will definitely be coming back here. |

Nice heated patio. Great beer. I love their Blarney fries. It's basically nachos with waffle fries instead of chips (picture below). Innovation! Very tasty. Once you go Blarney you will never go back to nachos. Great service. Free WiFi. Food is good...not "wow" but good.....atmosphere is lively but a bit dark.\n\nService is better than food so worth coming and trying...I think you will enjoy it! Irish pub Chain serves Guinness and Pub Grub with a twist on old recipes. Good patio and quick service. Good times had by all, the craft beer special Thursday was a nice bonus, the service was friendly, the food was tasty and the atmosphere was wide open, but still had a homely feel. \n\nThere aren't too many Irish pubs in the Vaughan area, and this one tops all nearby. The mini Yorkshire puddings are awesome. Once I realized this was owned by the same corporation as D'Arcy McGee's, which I visited in Ottawa, I had to get them for the wife to try out. The burgers were cooked well and were juicy and filling. The gravy on the poutine wasn't too bad and it even tasted like they used real cheese. I tried the avocado bacon burger which was a great choice, but even though there were good portions of avocado it really was over powered by the bacon. Filling and a nice compliment to the $5 pints of Steam Whistle. \n\nI would definitely be back and recommend to anyone in the area. This was my first time trying out this pub, i really like the atmosphere, it's not too rowdy and the live music entertainment every night gives the place a nice vibe. It helps support local artists which i find a plus and creates interaction for the audience/guests. The food was very good, although a tad pricey, but not as expensive as a place like the Keg or Cold Creek Canyon. Despite that, you DO get what you pay for! My friend and I tried the warm chips and dip, french onion soup and pie fries, all were very delicious and well worth the price. I dont drink, but my friend had their Ginger Mule and she said it was one of the best cocktails shes had, and she drinks a lot lolz. On another note some of the staff were kinda rude, i believe it was due to the late hour we were there (we arrived at 9:30 pm, left around 11:00pm) and that they were tired, however as a worker in the service industry myself i know that no matter how tired or grumpy you are (because lets face it we all have bad days) you always gotta keep a smile on your face! And make the customers welcome. Other than that, overall a great experience, awesome traditional celtic Scottish bar! :D |

This was the second and last time we're coming here. Customer service is not a priority here. We were seated right away because there was a lot of tables available. Took a while for someone to take our order, while waiting we finished our $2.50 coffee and no one ever offered any refill, (and bring your own spoon if you take cream/sugar, they don't seem to like to give those out) When our pancakes and waffles came, they didn't bring any butter or syrup. Waited another 5 minutes for someone to come by so we can ask for it. The syrup was brought out in a small soup bowl, with syrup dripping all over the sides! We were done with our meal by the time the waitress came again so we asked for the check. She brought us the check and realized we were being charged for something extra we didn't order. They did take it off at the register but still, won't return. We would've brought home leftovers but didn't want to wait another 10 minutes to ask someone for a box. This place is amazing! Great people, yummy food and the environment is friendly. The servers would constantly make us smile. The pie is, of course, excellent as well!!\n\nWould recommend trying it out and giving it a shot :-) So, we tried the new place that went into the old Marie Callendar's place. Coincidence they have similar naming from the old spot? Hmm.... Waitress said they are not associated. I did try looking up their website on the menu, but not sure if it's up yet.\nSince we try to help out & eat local, we thought to give this spot a try. We tried the chicken Alfredo, pork pot roast & chicken tenders. Food was good, nothing uber fabulous, but it tasted decent. They do have a salad bar for those looking for a simple salad bar. \nThey also do have fresh pies. Several flavors I haven't seen before. I think they are doing a soft opening to see how it goes. Not sure when they will do a grand opening. OMG!!! I bought a groupon, so okay we will try it out. They do not open til 8am. Not a car one in the parking lot! Its 9 am, We ordered food, took about 8 min. The 3 egg breakfast was short 2 eggs, and the scrambeled eggs are from a liquid egg product, not fresh scrambeled. They were horrible! The sausage links had nooo flavor! The bacon was okay, for deep fried. The potato choice varies daily so you have to ask. The coffee was good. Overall, don't waste your money Looks like Marie Calendars again... so glad! missed the pies |

It was cooked correctly and tasted very good, only thing was the cheese seemed a bit light, a bigger piece of cheese would make the burger perfect. The french fries were also pretty good. Sitting in the booths was a bit awkward as I almost felt like a child trying to reach, experience may vary, but I felt the table was too high up/seat was too low. I haven't had that problem at any other restaurants. Definitely try this place out soon! Best egg roll I've ever had- trust me this place has it figured out- get an egg roll and bahn mi- Heard this American Tavern/ OSU Bar has good Asian food. Where else can you get American and Asian food in the same place? Stopped in Saturday evening with both Buckeyes and Indians games on. I ordered the PHO and my boyfriend the chicken fried rice, we each had egg rolls... everything was excellent! The bartender/ manager was so friendly and actually explained to us the correct way to eat the PHO and egg rolls, we found out later that she is actually the cook and prepares all the Asian food fresh each day ahead of the shift. She pays a lot of attention and knows her guests, she remembered a few ladies that came in and sat next to us, they said they haven't been there in a few years, she remembered them, what they had to eat, drink and where they sat! We will return, great place! We live about 5 minutes from The Buck Stop. We have lived there for 9 years and I believe this is the 4th restaurant in that building. My wife and I call it the place where restaurants go to die. Needless to say we didn't have high hopes for The Buck Stop. \n\nOur first visit was the day that they opened. Things were in a bit of a disarray and the food wasn't the greatest. We waited quite a long time to go back and give it another try and I am really glad that we did. \n\nWe originally went back because my wife wanted to try the Pho. Since she was trying the Pho I decided to try the fried rice. They were both amazing. We have been back several times now and it is just as good every time. We also really, really like their hot wings. \n\nThe theme of the bar and the food definitely don't go together. I admit, I didn't really get the buckeye theme with Asian food, but I have to say that it all works together. Mainly because the fried rice is so amazing.\n\nIt is clear that the owner takes pride in her food and makes the fried rice from scratch each time it is ordered. \n\nSo, if you don't mind a little rough around the edges, do yourself a favor and go here and get the best fried rice in town. Maybe the best fried rice I have ever had. Beautiful egg rolls and potstickers! Healthful Pho and fantastic fried rice. I haven't even gotten to the burgers and sweet potato fries, tho my husband reports the fish is delish! This place, tho not quite a looker, is Chesterland's best kept NOM NOM NOM secret. I'd like to think it would stay open so I can keep enjoying! |

It's nice to have a healthy alternative in my neighborhood. I rated it 4 stars because I like Grabba Green and have had a good experience overall but tonight was disappointing. My boyfriend & I came in tonight and we're excited that they were still open till 9 pm. We got there at 8:15 and asked for the Power juice but were told they were unable to make it because the blades weren't sharp & were being cleaned so they couldn't make it.. I suspect these 2 ladies were breaking equipment down early & wanting to go home. I come to Phoenix on business and I make this my morning breakfast stop. The oat smoothie always taste great and fresh. This place can be a little pricey however. I eat a lot of salads so I was happy to find this place near my new home in Scottsdale. In short, I don't like it and will not be back. Most salad places mix your salad in a big bowl and then put it in a container from which you can eat it. This place crams your salad ingredients into a box without tossing them first and it is too small for the salad so you cannot mix the ingredients yourself. The container is also difficult to eat from with a flap sticking out from all four sides. There are no condiments like salt and pepper. Finally, as I am writing this, the employees are behind the counter arguing about shift assignments which is unpleasant from my perspective as a customer. In short, while I should be a regular customer as a salad addict, too much is wrong with this place and I will not be back. I am addicted to this place.. they offer great selection of healthy and great-flavored breakfasts, lunch, and dinner.. if you only eat in one place, you will never be bored with these varieties. Well thought a different Grabbagreen might taste better. But I was wrong! Even when the food is made correct, without rubber bands in the food, the food is still weird. Not healthy weird, just weird. \n\nMy box of noodles stayed in the shape of a box (in the box) and (out of the box) lol. \n\nI dumped the food out on a plate, when I got home and the food stayed in a solid box shaped square. When I went to eat the food, the noodles were part hard and part rubber. Not good. |

QUALITY sushi buffet.\n\nFOOD:\n Lunch buffet (~$21): Great selection & great tasting sushi. The salmon was hands down the best, as it melts in your mouth. They also let you customize the sushi, whether you want cut rolls, hand rolls or something else. However, their level 5 spicy sushi wasn't very hot & some items are limited to 1 per person (i.e. mochi dessert).\n\nOVERALL: Great hole in the wall joint I'll def. come back to. I prob shouldn't be telling you about this place since you might end up going here & causing me to have to wait for a table the next time I'm in town.\n\nTIPS: \nThey have both a lunch buffet (excludes drink; 11am-4pm) & dinner buffet.\n\nI liked the yellow mango with shrimp, spider man At least once a month I eat her to get my sushi fix. Really I just dig the atmosphere and the Budda Bar CD they always got playing and there's a huge screen TV that's got some game on. The sushi is excellent for the price. I judge sushi by the amounts of rice that is used verses the portions of fish. Well balanced and fresh. It's not Nobu twisting so don't expect anything outside the usual sushi bar menu. The staff is warm and friendly. Sapporo draft and warm saki shots make it quite a night out. Not the cheapest sushi bar around nor is it too expensive. I do feel the food quality, atmosphere, and cute waitresses gives value to the menu price. I'm all about the Nigiri which is well done. the rolls are always done perfect. Finally went into this place. Food is really good. The atmosphere is great and definitely family friendly. I had spicy tuna roll. Very good! Will return soon and hopefully bring others as well. Sushi Twister has go it going on!\n\nI love this place because they have nigiri down to an art man. Their cuts of fish are just outstanding and the taste is like.. OMG WOW SUSHI YESSSS.\n\nI have a few friends that I go to when I want to know anything Sushi so when they said that this is the place, I took their word without question and I was not at all disappointed.\n\nThey have a wide variety of fish for nigiri and from my understanding (according to my sushi expert friends) Twister has probably got some of the freshest fish you can find on your nigiri in Vegas and not only that but apparently they know how to prepare the fish authentically.\n\nOn top of that their selection of specialty rolls is pretty massive and I definitely applaud them for their creativity. Going back to my sushi expert friends, they really only like nigiri but apparently the rolls here utilize the same great fish that's on the nigiri that they don't mind having a few specialty rolls as well.\n\nNow, I am by no means an expert on sushi but when the food is good.. the food is good and the food here is DAMN good.\n\nMy only real problem with this place is unlike Sushi-Mon and the newly opened Goyemon, Twister does not offer all you can eat dessert which is a real bummer since I would love to have like 4-5 pieces of mochi ice cream like I normally do at Sushi-Mon as opposed to the one piece that they cut in half to make two at Twister.\n\nFortunately for them, I won't remove a star because like I have been saying.. the food is f^&#ing good. :)\n\nFor out of towners. This is not within reasonable driving distance of the strip so unless you're staying for a while and you're with other locals.. I wouldn't suggest it. It would be worth the drive if you have the time though. Although this place is far off the strip ... IT IS WORTH the drive!!! I live in the southwest part of LV and I have yet to find a place that tops Sushi Twister! So my family takes a trip to the east side for some well worth sushi once in awhile!!! The rolls are extremely fresh and full of flavor and AYCE is affordable. The rest of the menu is delicious as well! |

The corporate people should take notice to fix this. Went to the new Red Robin with three of my friends last night. The food was delicious and the staff was attentive. Kudos to our waitress, Gigi! It was her first night training as a server for Red Robin and she was remarkable. Spent some time talking to the trainer and she was a sweet heart too! Great experience! The staff is very friendly and very attentive. And the food is always amazing!!!! I had their Boca burger the last time I went, as I stopped eating meat. It was so good. I'll definitely be back, knowing I can still enjoy a meatless burger. The fried zucchini and mushrooms though....omg. They're to die for! My mom had never been to Red Robin and she loved it. We have been to many locations of Red Robin and this has surpassed them all! Our waitress, Ginnes, was by far the best waitress we have ever had. She was very attentive to us, we never had to ask for refills or look for her. Our food was amazing and hot and satisfying. There have been many times when we had a refill of our bottomless fries and they were cold. Today they were hot and fresh! But seriously, we have a big family and everyone has different needs and she was amazing and fulfilling all of them. If we go back it will be because of her, when we go back we hope to have her serving us as well. Thanks for your positive attitude and amazing people skills! |

The restaurant was very clean and inviting. The young lady at the counter was happy and helpful. It was our first time at Rudy's and my daughter was asking about their rice. She offered my daughter a sample of the rice. My daughter loved the rice and the beans are wonderful. My husband tripped their Super burrito. Very tasty and filling. I will definitely come back to Rudy's. Great people serving very good food. They also have awesome lunch specials. The shreeded bee tacos and the chili rellenos are among the best in town . Oh. My. Yum. \n\nWe stopped in to try this place near my parents new house. Soooo glad we did!\n\nWe had a chicken quesadilla which was out of this world! The fresh flour tortilla was PERFECT - a little crunchy a little chewy!\n\nPlus a carne asada and a fish taco. These were both SOOOO good. Finally also ordered a pork tamale which was our least favorite but was still outstanding. Everything else was just other level yummy!! We even went back for a dozen fresh tortillas to take home. \n\nThe prices here are reasonable, the serving sizes generous and the food was as mentioned - \nOh. My. Yum.\n\nAs a bonus, the staff was really fast, helpful and friendly. Love this place with one exception. They use chopped romaine lettuce on tacos, tostadas, ect. I prefer iceberg like their other location. Call me a traditionalist. Previously my wife and I would occasionally go to Filibertos until we moved on to Los Favoritos and then most recently became frequent Rubio's go-ers. But Rudy's really has the best of all worlds. Top quality ingredients are always fresh (you know it's the real deal when you can actually see avocado in the guacamole), reasonable prices (something I think we can all agree that Rubio's lacks), and overall great service (every meal is accompanied with chips and salsa, served family style if there's more than 1 at a table). The first time we at here, we were so in love with that food that we came back the next day to try out their breakfast burritos, which DO NOT disappoint. Also, they offer $0.99 fish tacos on Wednesday! Honestly the fact that their ingredients always taste to fresh and the food feels so homemade alone, warrants 5 stars. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this joint. |

I loved this place - we used to live around the corner from it and would walk there and stumble back home from a night of drinking...\n\nOne night I decided to eat there, I figured, "Why not? I\'m here and if I get sick, Walgreen\'s is next door and I can walk there to get something to settle my stomach...or buy a pack of smokes!"\n\nAfter eating there, it became a place where hubby and I could meet friends at any time of the night since their kitchen is 24 hours. It\'s a fun place for greasy food...and I fell in love with their Philly Cheesesteaks. I don\'t know what it was, but I never had a bad philly cheesesteak there -- ever. Best of all, we could have beer with our pancakes at 3am if we wanted. Not many can boast about that...wait, maybe that\'s not something to be proud of.\n\nAt any rate, their breakfasts are great, too. Hubby and I could split a stuffed french toast breakfast, but more often than not we didn\'t because he didn\'t want to share. HAH!\n\nThe last time I was there with my cousin, I was a bit shocked at how different it was. The clientele seemed a bit older and a lot more cranky. Maybe we just got there at the wrong time, but it wasn\'t the Charlie\'s Down Under I remember getting ripped at and then stumbling back home at 4am.\n\nOverall, I still love this place. Really stellar burger, fun atmosphere. Much better food than the other similar 24 hour joints (PT's, Timbers, etc.). Okay, it\'s not "as good as it gets," but it\'s my "friendly neighborhood" saloon and the burgers are great, as are the BLT\'s and don\'t forget breakfasts there -- great American fare and great service -- Especially Theresa, who puts up with me. Stopped in for breakfast at 10am on a Sunday. A few tables were occupied and a couple people at the bar. We waited a bit for menus, no big deal. We placed our order for an omelet and a breakfast burrito. 45 minutes later still no food and no return of the waitress or bartender. Finally after an hour of waiting we left $6 for the one beer we ordered and walked out. While leaving we overheard another table complaining they had waited a half an hour for mimosa and still had not placed their food order. Avoid at all cost. Total waste of time. |

High class interior, fantastic food, perfect service. We were a party of four; had appetizers, drinks, entrees and dessert. $60 bucks each with tip or $ 120 per couple. Nice splurge. Cute place, but $25 for cod and $15 for a burger is excessive in the far burbs. Well, interesting to see that the place closed. Guess others agreed that $15 is a bit pricey for a burger in south Chandler. I paid less than that in New York. We ordered Thanksgiving dinner from here. First, our family has never ordered a holiday meal from a restaurant and we were all very unsure what to expect. \n\nWell, let me tell you, EVERYTHING was exceptional! The turkey was moist and the stuffing was excellent, smashed potatoes and gravy were divine and OMG the fried Brussels sprouts were out of this world! I\'m not a big fan of cranberry sauce, but theirs was the perfect mix of tangy and sweet without being too much of either. And for dessert, the pumpkin pie was wonderfully done, it was subtle and not overly "pumpkiny." All in all, we (five of us) were all completely happy with our choice this year for Thanksgiving dinner!\n\nThe only thing I would mention, as a suggestion to Earnest for the future, is to not package every meal individually- we had five separate plastic containers for potatoes, for butter, for cranberry sauce, for gravy, for whipped cream and for turkey, stuffing and veggies. This means we had a lot of trash and it seemed very wasteful. Since, I\'m guessing, most orders were taken to eat at home, individually packaged portions weren\'t necessary. My family and I celebrated my sisters birthday last night and we were totally blown away. We started off with Zucchini Cakes, Crab Cakes, Olives, Sausage & Chorizo. For the main course we order the Alaskan Cod, Skirt Steak, Vegetarian Pasta & Pork Chops. We also ordered 2 sides to share: Risotto & Mac & Cheese. All I can say is WOW!! Food was beyond our expectation and service was excellent. We will return for sure!! Wish I could post "0" stars!!!!\nWe walked in at 6:00pm\nOrdered dinner at 6:30\nIt\'s 8:15pm and we are still waiting for our food to arrive!\nThe restaurant is not busy but it seems the service is extremely poor!\nOur waiter disappears for 10 to 15 minutes and we can\'t get a water refill. \n\nNot sure what is going on - but we are NEVER coming back here again!!! |

Service is good. Fish are served fried or grilled. Definitely worth checking out. I took my grandma and younger sister out to eat since it was close by. It was hard to find a clean table because they were all dirty. As we sat down eventually ordered our drinks and appetizer which was fried Zuchanie (however it's spelled) it tasted as if it came out of the freezer because the fried Zuchanie I have had is fresh for sure. We went to get a fork to eat and part of our silverware is dirty. It wasn't just a stain it was like someone used it and they reused it again for another customer. The salad we had ordered about half the leaves were rotten and my hamburger was really bland and was not appetizing. Our server was wonderful though. I must add not to be all negative three years ago this place was absolutely good and the onion rings and burgers were fabulous. Now it's just disgusting it must be a new owner. Food was burnt, worst service, I can't believe this place is around. It's alway empty and they can't seem to get it together. Such a bummer since it's so close by. NEW MENU UPDATE\n\nLooks like they re-vamped the entire menu!!! So far we've tried a few things including wings (the new Fireball sauce is awesome), the steak fries are superb & extra yummy with garlic, the Cubano is bueno, and the patty melt (add hatch chilis) is my new fav burger. \n\nI come here every week anyway, but now I'm excited because all of the new things to try.\n\nThe bartenders are very seasoned and get food out fast and hot. We have been going there for a years now and are always greeted by name and treated awesome. Great neighborhood bar. While we were entertained by reading some of the other write ups. We cannot say anything bad about our experience today. The server (Adriene) has been with the company for 18 years, 8 at this location and I asked her what changed. She said that she does the day shift but knows issues exist in all restaurants up in this area. The issue is well known and attributed to their location. Only a few restaurants up here and exceedingly hard to staff adequately. There are not a lot of workers up here so the management does expedite in evenings and weekends (stay in the kitchen making sure food gets out quickly). With the intention to minimize problems. I have been here once before in the evening and the service was sparse at best. I'll need to give it another try and see how things are.\n\nOur food was prompt and delicious. Absolutely nothing to complain about but nothing ultra stellar either promoting a 5th star. |

But then you eat the food and you realize you\'ve been lied to. This is essentially the same concept as paradise bakery or panera bread, and you\'d be better off going to either of those. The soup was bland, the salad dressings too sweet, and the sandwiches are slightly better than subway. \n\nThe service was great though. Very nice employees. But still...go somewhere else I love coming here because the food is super delicious that when I'm eating it I feel like I have so much peace and just I don't know how to explain it hah but it's really good !! I would recommend anyone to go eat there , they have sandwiches, soups , and salads ; the best part is that with any meal you decide to get they include a free price of bread and chocolate covered strawberry!! Yummy !! It's always clean here also and the ladies that work there are very nice. I always order a Honey bacon club sandwich and a Yucat\xc3\xa1n chicken tortilla soup. I really like Zupas sandwich I always get this catered to my work and I love their chocolate dipped strawberries and their half dipped chocolate chip cookies. Their salads are also really good One of my go to places for a warm soup. I love the veggie variations they have in soups. Have tried their tomato basil soup and garden chowder. They were both good. I tried the veggie sandwich and it was just okay. I have had better sandwiches. The mango berry salad and the chicken BBQ salad were great. Both the salads were on the sweeet! \nI would go back there for their soups and infusion water!!! Decent food but on two or three different occasions we've ordered a sand which and a salad and then they go off forgetting the sand which even through they charged us for it and then having to wait extra time after complaining about it. |

I ordered the steak nachos to go. The portion was large. Nothing more to say except average. Pupusas! That's all I had when I went here for lunch today. Frankly, it's all I need to be a fan of this place. You'll pay $2.25-$2.50 for the ones with any sort of substance in them i.e. chicken or shrimp or fish. After just a chicken and a shrimp pupusa, I was surprisingly full.\n\nIgnore the sign on the window that says 99c Pupusas. It's misleading. On Mondays and Wednesdays, you can get pupusas for 99c, but you have to order 10 of them. So really, it's 10 pupusas for $9.90. Maths is hard. Yes, I said maths. One word: pupusas. \n\nThe pupusas here are amazing. It's across the street from UNLV so I frequent here after classes or during my gaps. The convenience of this location is great. I've never eaten anything here other than the pupusas so I can't speak for any other foods, but this place seems extremely authentic.\n\nI have seen other reviews talking about language barriers with the staff here. I have never really had that problem, so service has never really been an issue for me. The only negative downside I would say is that you need to bring cash to this place. This review was meant to be written 3 weeks ago...here it goes..\non the Guatemalan side, we ordered:\nPupusa: like a tortilla with white looking cheese on top. Nothing special. Was very filling...but not in a good way. Annie said she usually gets the one with pork, but they didn't have it at this restaurant\nTaquitos: with shredded pork. aight.\nTamale: real chicken, with bones! this was good.\nSopa de siete mares: lacks flavor...I took a sip and didn't bother for more\nhorchata: tasted too earthy for me. I am used to the mexican version. \nhot maiz drink: first few sips were good...then I got a headache...\n\nI don't know what happened here, but maybe it's just the food that we ordered, but I don't think I will be coming back\n\nSorry :( Loved this place! It was our last day of our semi-crazy Vegas weekend with my brother and cousins and decided to stop off at a place to eat with no crazy lines so off the strip we went in search of a long shot. Our guess totally paid off! We ordered too much food, but it was worth it. The pupusas are filling and tastey. Shrimp cocktail was awesome! I forget what my bro and cousins had, but they all loved it. Everything we ordered was soooo good! The server was nice and jokes around with us a bit. They have a jukebox with lots of old and new music and they didn't seem to mind us singing to the songs! We didn't have a problem until my cousin thought she ordered a Salvadoran relleno de papa and instead she got a Guatemalan relleno de papa which is TOTALLY different. I don't remember if it was specified on the menu or not, but if not, then it was our mistake. Just make sure you ask them to clarify because some countries make the same things with different names or different things with same names. |

My husband and I popped in there on a whim last night. Pricey, but they are new and we always try new places in our area looking for a new favorite. Ordered the $39 Halibut with Mushroom Cream Sauce, Roasted Red Potatoes, Creamed Spinach and $44 New York with Garlic Mashed and Asparagus. Our meal took 35 minutes and arrived served on ice cold plates. The steak was maybe 1/2" thick and was coasted in what I think was a port wine sauce (which was NOT mentioned on the menu), ordered Medium rare and was Medium at best, it was not eaten. The Asparagus was blanched and no seasoning. A little olive oil and roasting it would have gone a long way. The mashed potatoes were ok, but when you put hot food on a cold plate, you get cold food rapidly. The Halibut was good, but sauce got lost underneath the pieces of wilted lettuce the fish was served on. Potatoes were boiled and pan fried, not roasted, no seasoning, and I\'m going to go out on a limb and say the creamed spinach was made with frozen spinach, not fresh. Fish dinner was a 4 out of 10, steak was a 2 out of 10. We normally will not complain but since they were new, we thought constructive comments would help them. The chef came out and explained he was proud of his food and would like another chance, and gave us a $25 gift card and they STILL charged us for the $44 steak that was left uneaten as well as all the asparagus. I wouldn\'t be reviewing so harshly if it would have been handled differently. My husband and I eat at high end restaurants here in the Valley, Chicago, Vegas, Seattle, LA and if you are going to charge that kind of money for plates, you better make sure you nail it and if a customer is not happy, still charging them for an uneaten meal, is a solid lock that we will not be back. We left the gift card. The gentleman next to us had the Seared Ahi and said it was great, so perhaps worth a first try, but thought I\'d give an honest review. I wish them luck. I wanted to add the restaurant is beautiful and the wait staff and bartender were awesome. Best crab cakes I've ever had. Doug is great, very personable and has incredible pride of ownership. Chicken and filet were mouth watering. Highly recommended for those in north Scottsdale and cave creek. My husband and I have eaten 3 times now at the Bourbon Cellar twice we had drinks( the Cellar Smash is a favorite Basil Hayden orange liquor and honey and lemon juice) and appetizers which the muscles and oysters are the best we have had in the city. The dinner menu has numerous choices I had the sea bass the sauce was amazing, my husband had Halibut in a white mushroom cream sauce again excellent flavor. Chef Doug visited with us at our table very knowledgeable about his bourbons and a nice young man. The jazz background music sets the tone for a very enjoyable eating experience. Returning again on New Years Eve , cant wait I am a heat-seeking missile with new restaurants in my neck of the woods, so had to visit The Bourbon Cellar since it just opened mere weeks ago. \n\nSO MANY PROS with this place! It has a great ambiance, nice bar, contemporary/rustic vibe, and good music playing. All is positive on the ambiance.\n\nChef came out more than once to ask us how everything was (HUGE PLUS!) Our waitress was nice and helpful. The service was great and welcoming in every respect.\n\n9 year old daughter ordered oysters, apparently flown in fresh daily from Prince Edward Island. We are huge seafood lovers, and have spent quite a bit of time in Maine and the east coast, so we\'ve had the best. The oysters did not disappoint, they were fresh and fabulous with plenty of traditional oyster fixins\'. "Tasted like the ocean!" according to the child. I agree, but she only let me have one! She also ordered a creamed corn side, which she licked clean. I thought aloud, "Where else could we go in Phoenix to have oysters like this?" We came up empty, so if you want an oysters fix, this would be THE PLACE to go!\n\nMy other one had a nice shrimp and potato soup that she enjoyed. I had the scallops appetizer (2 scallops) plus a salad, and husband had a steak plus roasted potatoes on the side. All was great, and perfectly prepared.\n\nUnfortunately, the prices are utterly insane and really puts me at more of a 3 star rating. This isn\'t Binkley\'s or even Ruth Chris. The ala carte pricing is crazy. Once you pay $44 for the entree and add a side, you\'re at $60/person before alcohol, salad, or a dessert. Add in two glasses of wine/cocktail per person and you\'re at $85. We are not strangers to ridiculous-over-the-top dinners, via places like Binkley\'s Cave Creek and Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas, so this is not a pricing complaint.\n\nOnly 1 out of the 4 of us ordered a proper entree. I had two scallops and a salad! One kid had a bowl of soup, that\'s it. And the other one had 12 oysters and creamed corn side. Bill with tip was nearly $250. A proper meal for each guest would total $100 for the entree + side + salad or appetizer, and two drinks. \n\nI appreciate that the oysters are flown in daily, and I appreciate the attention to detail in the food. The food we had was fantastic. Maybe mix it up and have a few "lower priced" entrees with the higher end stuff? To justify this kind of pricing, you have to have a serious competitive advantage. Give the people some bread, or do something to give them a warm and fuzzy feeling -- like they are truly getting a special experience found nowhere else. I don\'t know what the answer is for this place, but austere ala carte pricing always makes me feel stressed out, and there is no way I could justify a $400 + tip bill for four people on any kind of regular basis. Maybe this is supposed to just be a special occasion kind of restaurant, and not geared toward locals or families. However, I just don\'t think it\'s quite special enough - yet - to garner just special occasion guests. \n\nPlease, please, please rethink your pricing and menu strategy. We DESPERATELY need a chef-driven restaurant up here, and the food is great!! I would be back in a heartbeat if the menu and pricing was revamped a bit. At this price point, though, I just can\'t see myself visiting again. I hope to revise my review soon. Great evening with the wife. Awesome setting and a great meal. The all day happy hour was a nice touch. Burger was wonderful and the tiramisu was incredible. Just something great about an owner walking around to chat, making sure your having a good time. |

I ordered a slice of pizza and a drink. While I was waiting for my pizza, I went to fill up my drink. I tried to fill my cup with ice and nothing was coming out. I tell the girl at the counter there is no ice in the machine, and with an attitude she tells me to hold the ice lever down for a minute or so, so I did and still nothing. I ask for a refund and she calls another girl over and says (again with an attitude) "she wants a refund because there\'s no ice in the machine." The other girl hands me my change and walks away. The Greek Salad Pizza Slice is The Bomb! If you love artichokes, this is the one. The slice is full packed of artichokes. feta cheese, olives, and tomatoes. The ingredients are super fresh. I haven't seen ingredients this fresh on a pizza in ages. By far, the healthiest pizza slice I've eaten in the US. Normally pizza crust and/or the pizza is full soggy of grease and fat at most pizza places. Not here. Crust felt and tasted light and good and what's more, after eating here, I felt good and not slow, sluggish, which I cannot say for 99% of pizza places out there. This is a great place to get a good slice of pizza. Situated right across the Cine-Capri at Tempe Marketplace, this joint has some great varieties of pizza. Good old pepperoni for me, but it was very good. And they had Cherry Pepsi which is always worth an extra star. Cleanliness is a bit to be desired since a lot of people go in and out and it appears to be understaffed. I will be back again as it's good food and the prices are just right. Pizza was really good. I had pepperoni and sausage. I almost left because Service is a bit slow. I'm glad I waited, but if there's more then two people in line, I probably won't wait. I am not in the area that much and generally dont like to order a giant pizza so when I get a chance this is where I go to fill my pizza craving without overdoing it.\n\nThe staff is always nice and quick.\n\nTheir pizza is not greasy, great sizes and always fresh.\nThey also always have at least 1 sometimes 2-3 vegetarian options which is great. \n\nTo the guy below complaining about a kid behind the counter not as quick as he would want... Perhaps he was new? Like you have been perfect at everything you have done. Get a grip and lay off. He is working so I wouldn't exactly call him lazy. |

I've been there a few times and each visit was devilishly fab. \n\nMy first visit consisted of beer and burgers. I grabbed a flight and a Brew Works Burger with fries. Fresh, hot and tasty; it went well with the beer. I tried a flight of 4 house brews. If you've never had their beers, I recommend a flight. They've got some unique flavours on their Saison/One-Off menu you've got to taste, like Blood Orange Blonde and Coconut Lemongrass Thai-PA. \n\nMy second visit was for brunch! It was in the afternoon; not thinking that I was there for brunch, only that I was at a brewery, I definitely had beer with my Eggs Benny. #facepalm Their eggs benny is called Big Benny for a reason; the meat is thicker than the bread. I couldn't freaking believe it. I've eaten a ridiculous amount of eggs benny and I've never seen it like this. While I was going into shock, my aunt enjoyed her Huevos Rancheros and beer. Another stellar visit to Louis Cifer! \n\nThe last visit was during a pub crawl. We had the whole upstairs and we needed it. I'm not sure they quite expected the 100+ people that arrived in 30min time. They didn't have any specials for the pub crawl, but the servers worked their asses off serving us. They did an amazing job; very organized with some serious teamwork. \n\nEach visit was different, but the great beer and great service were consistent. I look forward to going back again! Great looking place, chill vibe and nicely decorated hip joint. Service was great, craft IPA was awesome but the food was meh. I wouldn't have the steak sandwich again, I can whip up better at home. And my spouse wouldn't have the fish and chips again. We won't be sitting back down at this restaurant but I will be stopping by for the occasional Growler! Our server was great and kind but my daughter found a piece of melted plastic about the size of a nickel in her fries and we sent it back my concern was that it contaminated the oil and suggested they change the oil or at least rectify the situation to ensure the safety of their customers going forward and the food runner told me that they were not about to shut down the kitchen to do this. I asked to speak to a manager and the manager (Erin) approached and said "I am sure you can see I am busy taking care of the 150 other people here how can I help you"\nI tried to tell her the situation and she interrupted me and said "let\'s cut to the chase because I am really busy... what do you want from me" I was really shocked and the other people had to continue the conversation. We simply wanted to ensure the other food we had and the other customers were not being contaminated. Later my daughter tried eating the chicken fingers and found purple and pink plastic stuck to her chicken finger so we left. Nothing was offered or given to us... I demanded my daughters meal be taken off and our waitress handled that. To the manager who treated our table like this; its unacceptable behaviour and my hope is that you work on your professionalism or find a construction job where that mentality and behaviour is acceptable. Another great brewery visit! Really enjoy these places, as they are always unique and have awesome beer options! This one is no exception. \n\nCame by after dinner, and grab a couple beers! They had some amazing ones made in house and other that were locally brewed. Definitely worth asking the server for a little taste of whatever you're interested in. \nThey also have beer cocktails of whatever they are offering then, so it's definitely worth a look too!\n\nThey had some nice options on the menu as well, and the cheesecake was quite a nice dessert touch. \n\nDefinitely worth coming for some nice, unique beers from our own local area! To be clear I'm reviewing this place as a brunch spot. I've come twice for weekend brunch, and was disappointed. The eggs weren't cooked properly, the service was slow, and we had to ask twice for our bill. Decidedly underwhelming. |

I found an ant in my meal !!! When I was taking my chicken out of the box an ant crawled out. To make matters worse my niece told me another time she went that she got bit by a red ant which causes her finger to swell a complete different time !!! I'm never going here again. How ghetto is this place. When the lady in the front taking my order while holding a cigarette in her hand (not lit) and then turning around and getting my food ready. African American lady. So disgusting the chicken was delicious. service was very friendly and the girl who I dealt with gave me a ton of great sauces when I asked her to surprise me. usually the surprise is a disappointing low number of sauces if I ask the same question. great job popeyes One word HORRIBLE! The first time i went drive thru which was about a month ago, i ordered mashed potatoes but NO spoon or napkins! Wtff! U expect me to eat mashed potatoes with my hands?!? i work as a driver so u can imagine how hard that was. The drive thru girl was so eager to talk to her coworkers that she messed up my order. I dont mind if u enjoy yourself at work but make sure u get your job done correctly. \n2nd time i ordered mashed potatoes and they gave me spoon but with cold FRENCH FRIES! 1 task! And they couldnt even do that. They should all be fired or retrained. Nothing pisses me off more then having my order wrong! -1 star\n\nPs this place sucks ballz im pissed The only reason they got a star was because that was the lowest option. During our order the counter person mostly stopped visiting long enough to get our order wrong. Then informed us both our cards didn\'t work because we didn\'t have money. We gave her another card, she said "that card doesn\'t have money either". We informed her it was a problem with the machine and asked her to try again. She instead sent us to another register but neglected to tell the other person or give her our order. When we asked why our order wasn\'t transferred between machines the new counter person she told us they don\'t do that she can ask the other employee or we can just order again. We ended up walking out and eating somewhere else. The manager did offer us the meal for free but when we told her what her first employee said to us she actually said "what the f**k, oh my god I\'m so sorry" I\'ve never been so insulted by anyone. And if I didn\'t have the $20 for lunch I wouldn\'t have gone in. We asked the manager give the free meal to someone in need and went on our way. I know it\'s a fast food restaurant but I\'m not willing to be treated poorly just because I felt like eating out while holiday shopping. |

The food was terrible. I only came to this place bc I was looking for a breakfast spot that was open earlier and this came up. The service was amazing however. City Diner was on our list of new local joints to check out, and we decided to stop in tonight for dinner. A bit different than what I expected, in a good way. \n\nThey have a pretty eclectic menu in my opinion compared to the standard diner fare. It is a little over priced for the neighborhood. \n\nI ordered the chicken, bacon & avocado sandwich and my husband the mac and cheese bake with a side of chicken noodle. Soup was maybe a degree above room temperature but really good. Mac and cheese was very bland, but to be fair I think most mac that's been baked is. The chicken sandwich was really good, particularly enjoyed the garlic mayo. There's quite a few things on the menu that I'm excited about trying in the future. \n\nService was great; friendly. It was pretty full when we were there, but our waitress was attentive and the service was quick. \n\nThe whole tablet ordering system is a little awkward. It personally doesn't bother me, but the booth in front of us with an older couple was clearly frustrated about it. I feel it must be uncomfortable for the waitstaff to have to ask every one of their tables about their tip during checkout, too.\n\nOverall, a good experience, a welcome addition to the neighborhood and will definitely be a repeat customer. I decided to stop here for a Sunday brunch on a whim and I left more than happy I did. The lemon curd mixed berry pancakes were better than I could ever describe. I think they were a special, but I really hope they become part of the regular menu at some point. I'll definitely be back to try their lunch and dinner options. I had such high hopes but was disappointed. I had the Reuben which was ok, didn't give you 1000 island dressing and the fries were not cooked crisp. Hubby had the pot pie and the sauce was thin and runny, didn't taste like a pot pie. Really good food and a homely feel. Our waitress was so sweet, one meal wasn't agreeing with my stomach and o had to reorder and chose the tomato bisque. It was awesome and full of flavor \n\nThe atmosphere was so quiet and Christmas time. Everyone was very nice and the food was good |

Food was delicious. Also, they have a chrysanthemum tea that is awesome. We stuck with the national dish of Pad Thai. I had chicken in mine and my Mom had vegetables . We both enjoyed our Pad Thai. We also had Tom Yum soup and egg rolls. As stated our meal was delicious. The only complaint (if you want to call it that), was it was very difficult to understand the servers . We had a hard time asking them about some of the dishes (which is why we stuck with the Pad Thai). A customer did come into the restaurant to pick up a to go order, and she was immensely helpful in explaining some of the dishes. She highly recommended the curry dishes, which we will try next time. All in All, this is an awesome restuarant Don't waste your time, any Thai Restaurant that serves not only over cooked rice, but mushy noodles too???\n\nObviously there has been a change in ownership since the last time I was here. \n\nCan't hold a soggy noodle to Nicky 's. Not in a million years. \n\nWorst part was the .75 cents per can and the $1.50 per single serve wine bottle that we brought and consumed there. Never again. My can of American Light didn't even cost .75 cents each \n\nThere should be a zero star option on here. I am very happy with finding this needle in the hay stack so close to my home. Delicious food- the potstickers were ideal. I lived in Japan for 3 years and have been searching for a gyoza that tasted just as good and the potstickers here did not disappointed. My husband and I both ordered curry and it was perfect. There was only one waitress and the place kept bringing people in. She did great. Friendly, attentive, and answered all of our questions. We found out there is take out too! I am very excited about doing that in the near future! I love this place. It is so cozy and the staff is exceptionally friendly. I have tried multiple items on the menu and have loved every one. My husband and I have eaten at Thai Tamarind twice now. Everything we've gotten has been really good. I highly recommend getting the fish volcano. It's tempura tilapia with a mixture of veggies and rice in a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. The fish is nice and crispy and the sauce is delicious! \nService has been great and the food comes out quick. My only complaint is the lighting is really weird. (Which is why the photos are a little off.) Not sure if they are using fluorescent bulbs but the lighting messes with my eyes and gives me a slight headache. \nBut regardless the food is really good so I'll continue to eat there. |

Kim's has been around for years, we're aware of it yet we've never tried it. Surely we don't regret visiting as this has become a new favorite!\n\nThere are around 6 small tables in the cozy restaurant space that provide customers a dine-in option. They also have a self serve hot tea station. \n\nFor the 3 of us, we ordered a 40 pieces sushi and sashimi platter. This particular tray consists of salmon, tuna, surf clam, butter fish, snapper, BC tuna, octopus, inari, flying fish roe sushi, california roll, bulgogi roll etc. The friendly staff also served us miso soup with our platter. It was a good portion and we were very satisfied with our meal. \n\nMmmmm Look at how fresh the sashimi looks! Of course they taste as fresh as they look. Although we only ordered 40 pieces, they gave us more than that. \n\nThis is the Kimchi Salmon Handroll with avocado and cucumber. This was probably the favorite part of our meal! The rice was flavored just right, the kimchi gives it a good amount of spiciness and texture. Together with the creaminess of the avocado and salmon, all the ingredients compliment each other extremely well and leaves you craving for more. \nAll in all we enjoyed the experience at Kim's. Food was great and service was excellent. We are aware that they are a take out restaurant but it would be great if they provide more comfortable seating giving customers a dine-in option. Nonetheless, we would definitely return again! Super fresh and tasty but also comes with more $$...not the traditional restaurant type setting as its more like a fish market with sushi bar type seating and grocery store type isles for other products. \n\nThey have fridges as well that store fish for take home. \n\nOverall great place to get fresh fish! They do mainly take-out, although there are a few small tables if you wish to dine-in.\n\nThis is my #1 place for ordering sushi party trays. They have good quality sushi for the price range. I have ordered many times, quality is very consistent.\n\nFor eat-in, definitely not the most elegant sushi place. For a quick meal though, not bad. My only complaint is that the place smells a little fishy.. so it can only be a "quick" meal =P I used to love this place a few years back but i hadn't been in a while. I came here craving a decent chirashi and I'm sad to say I'm a bit disappointed. The chirashi was about 70% salmon...I guess some people would like that but I'm not much of a salmon fan. And while the quality of the fish wasnt bad, it wasn't outstanding either. The salmon was too thinly sliced as well. While it's still an ok place to eat, with the number of jpn ewstauranrs in the area I probably won't be coming back. solid 3.5. It's very average sushi and very fair prices. I usually order a la carte sushi and sashimi instead of the trays so that I can have the uni, ikura, tuna, scallop, yellow tail and ika which are some of my favourites. \nPrices are very fair, don't think the prices have changed in years. Except the uni which has gone up a dollar or two. The menu hasn't been updated to reflect that change. \nI enjoy the free hand roll that they give you while you wait. Doesn't always happen but most times, you can expect one. \nDefinitely don't sit down there. This is clearly a restaurant that is based on take out. \nI've had dinner at the restaurant and its very small so better to take it out and eat at home.\nVery nice sweet hard working Koreans running this place. Not bad for cheap takeout. |

Update: Was contacted by the Manager thro Yelp to say that this was an honest mistake and they'll refund the extra amount. Everyone deserves a second chance. Always great when we come here for Carolina Rebellion!!!!!! Enjoy the beers on tap!!! Their beer selection is amazing...Waitresses are not always so great! Paige is really good through!

Great sandwich just super fattening lol. Portions were big as well! Interesting to eat it with the fries on the sandwich already, but it works so I am not complaining :)\n\nAlso tried the Overstuffed Sandwich with Roast Beef and Capicola ($8.99). Good! A little spice in there too...again, huge portions. I ate the other half of the sandwich for lunch the next day.\n\nAlso had the Cheesy Bacon Fries ($7.99): Hand-cut Fries, Melted Cheddar & Mozzarella, and Applewood Bacon. Yes, they were good...yes they were oily, fatty, and just plain ole BAD for you! I haven't eaten guilt food like this for a little while...just felt sorry for myself while eating this LOL.\n\nThe server was friendly, and she never rushed us since we were here for a couple hours during a layover. We were able to charge our phones too while eating, and had a couple drinks after our meal to pass the time.\n\nI'd recommend it :)\n\nPics : I greatly anticipated my overstuffed sandwich from Panini's and it certainly did not disappoint! It's basically all of my favorite things shoved between two incredibly soft slices of bread: Pastrami, produce and FRIES!\n\nThis is really gross and I probably shouldn't admit it but I ate half of my sandwich, wrapped up the other half, traveled for 7 hours, and then finished it. I lived to tell the tale! I had no expectations coming here for the first time. Most Airport food is fair to bad!\n\nI sat at the bar and was approached by Daisy - who was very friendly and fun to talk with. I ordered the Spinach salad with grilled chicken.\n\nThe salad came out in about 10 minutes - with lots of fresh spinach, a sliced freshly grilled chicken breast - tender and cooked just right! The salad included sliced hardboiled egg, tomatoes, avocado, onions, and I think bacon. I opted for their spicy Chipotle Ranch dressing - which was a perfect dressing for the salad. The salad has to be the best salad I\'ve ever eaten in an Airport - by far!\n\nDaisy made sitting at the bar fun and interesting, she came by to check on me several times and struck up a conversation in between serving customers.\n\nI noticed that a LOT of airline pilots were stopping by to place "to-go" orders to take on the plane with them. Which says something to me about the quality of the food!\n\nThey have a full bar here - mixed drink offerings, wines and Ales and beers.\n\nI\'ll definitely come back here again - there were some other interesting and delicious looking menu items! Oh boy. baaad bartender. My girlfriend comes through this place for a sandwich. \nBtw. Shes the sweetest little thing. Social, but extremely friendly and non confrontational. just an all around sweet and nice to everyone kind a girl. And quite beautiful, which makes her quite unique young lady!\nWhile ordering from the bartender she asks for blue cheese on the side. The bartender takes her order, and its brought out to my girl. my girl tips the bartender %25 and is on her way, only to realize there\'s no blue cheese. classic setup for customer service test. What happens? \n\nThis bartender sticks it to my lady hard! instead of just giving her the cheese she paid for already, she gives my girl a long 3 second look of womanly hatred and says "that\'l be .79 cents." \nnow to all you restaurant goers, you see whats going on here. its not about the .79 cents. its personal. so my girl, sweet as she is, very kind inquires into the fact that she didnt get the blue cheese she already paid for. Two words come from the bartender. "prove it". \nSo i gave this place ONE star, since i was talked out of calling the establishment and ripping A-holes all around.\nThere is no excuse for washed up alpha female wannabes to take out there 40 years of failure on my sweet girl. she was nothing but kind. So if youre in the airport, avoid this place. This bartender is an older, somewhat attractive lady with dark hair that she wore in a pony tail.\nIf you think you can get away with treating people like crap because youre an airport establishment, youre wrong. \nI invite the owners to contact me, certainly repetitions of this cant be good for your reviews or business. After a horrible experience at The Pub, we came to Panini's to redeem our breakfast experience. We fly out of Cleveland quite a bit, and have had ok experiences in the past of other restaurants in the airport (The Pub being the worst). Amy was our server/bartender and was awesome, friendly, and the food was great (breakfast buffet). Will def come back here when we fly next. |

Doesn't get any better than that. The sandwiches are a bit on the small side but it gets the job done and fills you up pretty good, especially if you get their combo - two of a full size sandwich, half soup or half salad. Great fresh food at a reasonable price! Lots of healthy options. Similar to a paradise bakery Over-priced, but super friendly staff, great quality food, very fast for the quality as well, and great selections! Kind of lame you can tip the ones cleaning your table, but for how much they program the people to up-sale and get every last penny out of everything, I can see why they don't want you tipping.\n\nAside from the closed on sunday and weird corporate feel of the place, love to get a good salad and soup in 2 minutes! No ingredient or nutritional information available, staff refuses to disclose ANY allergen information to patrons with food allergies. \n\nCustomers should assume menu items are cross contaminated with reckless abandon. The good: good quality food. Portions are smaller than other places but very reasonable. \n\nThe bad: line up to order is awkward, you order up front from someone behind a Subway/Chipotle style bar but only for Salads, so if you order a sandwich you see nothing being done and eventually your sandwich appears somewhere down the line. Place was kind of smelly and staff seemed more self involved. |

Pretty good place! I will typically base my rating of Thai restaurants on the quality of their Pad Si Ew, and this place was a-okay. It had a very nice interior, the waiters/waitresses were very accomadating and the food came out very quickly which is always a plus. \n\nSo, the Pad Si Ew itself. Not bad, but not excellent either. The noodles weren't as large and flat as I'd like them to normally be, it was a bit on the oily side, the beef was a bit tough, and worst of all, the dish had American broccoli instead of Chinese ones! That's usually a big alert to me, so I was pretty skeptic at first. However, once I had a few bites, it wasn't too bad.\n\nOverall, it was good for its price ($13.50) and the dessert I had after was very nice :) Good food in a very relaxed atmosphere. This is the place to have dinner if you are thinking asian and then heading over to hang at the Waverly or Cafe Olympico or maybe grabbing some good Scotch at Whisky Cafe. Gave us the wrong takeout order. Pad thai very tomato-y. Not a lot of tofu or shrimp in the pad thais. Not bad but nothing special. Too pricey. "Meh. I\'ve experienced better." Their curries are as flavourful and delicious as curries are in Thailand (you can't go wrong with any of them)! Excellent Tom Yum and mango salad. Pad Thai was decent but was missing something I can't quite put my finger on. \n\nMeals are a touch expensive for what they are, but still tasty enough to warrant it on occasion. Skip dessert, it's kinda meh. |

Ok so I waited at the sign that read "Please Wait To Be Seated." So I waited and waited, it was a good 10 min. before someone came out to greet me. If they were busy I would understand, but I was the only one there!! So that out of the way. The food is not bad and reasonably priced. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that the initial problem was a one off and won\'t happen again. So I will give it another chance. Live it up, you are in Las Vegas for cryin\' out loud! Excellent fish and chips, spicy fingers and burgers. Great, attentive service. We eat there often. \n\nWarning: The fried chicken is the worst I've ever eaten. Over cooked, dry and coated in a dry sand-like substance. I should have sent it back. This review is for their bone in ham steak breakfast. It was HUGE and good. Ham steak can be fatty and dry but this was very tender and full of flavor (was I just lucky?). It came with 2 eggs, toast and breakfast potatoes. What a good hearty breakfast. Looking at what was coming out of the kitchen, large portions seem to be the norm here. The place is outdated but who cares if the food is good and reasonable because I would rather pay for good food rather than a fancy place with crappy food. This morning it did seem to be an older crowd and they must get a lot of regulars because the wait staff knew most of the customers by name. This place is so underrated ! They have delicious food for the cheapest prices ! Everything from their fish & chips to their omelettes are delicious ! The only thing that could improve is the customer service... But for the money, it's the best for a variety of everything |

It was so good I went back the following week. Both times I was there, the place was busy both dine in and take out. Staff was very friendly. I'll definitely go back! This review would have gotten 5 stars but I hate red peppers and it didn't specify that both red and green peppers came in the pizza. Next time we are trying the Sicilian crust! Hopefully, they send the same hot delivery guy!! BONUS! I look forward to trying other things from the menu. They were fast and very nice. I look forward to doing business with them again!! They have messed up our online order twice now,and when we drove back to have the order fixed,they were very rude.It shouldn't be that hard to switch an order around.To loose a good customer over an order of mushrooms is sad |

So many choices to try! \n\nBeing a cold winter day we immediately went for a warm bowl of Ramen from Isshin. We had the Black Sesame Tan Tan with a side of Gyoza. Soup base was delicious and just right in saltiness and heat. Noodles were firm and chewy. Gyoza was good too. All in all a nice meal. Will return for more. Delicious ramen but I don't like how prices are much more expensive at this location compared to the college location. Menu also seems to be a hit and miss. I didn't like the roasted garlic shoyu ramen but the white sesame shio ramen was delicious. Broth is also a bit on the saltier side. This is probably my 2nd favourite ramen place in town. The black sesame DIY grinder adds fun and fragrance to the whole experience. We asked for extra hot oil for our black tan tan ramen, but it's still not spicy enough. I never liked black sesame ice cream years back, but now I love it. The price is not bad here, a lot better than that new 1 Michelin star restaurant. I've heard good things about this place so I decided to try it. I tried their white sesame shio ramen! Was delicious. The line was fairly long but it was worth the wait! So glad they came to chef assembly hall since I was dying to try it but it was too far away! This location did not disappoint! I got the white sesame shio ramen and the broth was very creamy and rich. Noodles were perfect and egg was also equally good. The service was very efficient and fast, I will definitely be back! |

What are you expecting?! Folks, it's not claiming to be anything other than what it is. Don't expect anything fancy. It's a simple joint with standard options. \n\nI've been here a few times for lunch and haven't left disappointed. I appreciate that they cook up every order fresh! But just know that means you're going to wait....sometimes for a (long) while. But your foods going to be hot! \n\nI also appreciate that they show you your order...before you leave. Maybe it's just me...but the disappointment when you get back to work and your lunch order is wrong is THE worst feeling ever. \n\nSo far my favorite item here are the honey garlic wings. Yes, they are $1 more. But it's totally worth it. Try them...Thank me later! \n\nIf you're in the area, give them a try! I usually don\'t have anything bad to say about this place but coming in yesterday made me not want to ever come back. My wife and I got two happy hour meals "chicken and fries" which was dry. The food did not taste the same so I asked for more sauce to go on my chicken. The Manager rudely said I could have a quarter amount she proceeded to pour the sauce on my chicken I asked for but I stop and ask if she mind filling up the small ramekin again rudely said it would be $1. Not always what you say it\'s how you say things as well. This same manger denied a mother and her child a cup for ice I know this franchise is not this cut & dry on money not to give a women a cup for her child. This is not customer service nor a good way to show hospitality to those you serve. This hole in the wall is a knock-off of the Original American Deli based out of Atlanta. The food is not that bad, but they can't cook properly. The fried rice is more like regular white rice with a little light coloring added. No fried taste at all. In Atlanta, you can ask for fried rice without corn. In Charlotte, these fools have full vegetable packets that must be added to the rice, so if you don't want corn or green beans, but other vegetables, it's a no go! Have to go to Atlanta to get the real deal. The American Deli is Atlanta is the best! All the AD's in Charlotte employ people with no CS skills.\nTheir wings are also horrible. They fry them so hard, you can hardly bite them. So this is how today's interaction went.\nI called to place an order. So you know how slow these people are, they can't hear two things at the same time. You have to speak to them as if they are really that stupid - which they are...and the illegal immigrant owner, Paco, Chico, Xi Yan, Hiy Yak Gak - whoever... had the audacity to hang the phone up on me when I asked him if he was still there. You know because they never understand complete English anyway. But they sure as hell understand that green dollar! Mofos!\nI called back and asked him why he hung up the phone. He said because he wanted to. I asked who was the owner,he said he is. \nThis is why we need to ship all of these undocumented illegals out of our Country. They weren't even born here or have naturalization to even be here and have the gall to cop an attitude when you call to spend your money, so they can take it back to their impoverished Country.Invest in their country and treat us American citizens like shit in our own country!\nI wanted to go over there and pull his foreign ass across the counter. I don't agree with a lot of things that Trump says, but illegals need to get the hell out and I'm all for it! Because if we even went to their country and did the same shit, we would not make it out alive! 'ol $0.05/hr makin asses! Was craving a burger so I decided to visit American Deli. I wasn't able to purchase my burger because the grill had already been clean. If cleaning the grill means that customers cannot be serviced then that should be done after the business closes. I've been driving past this place for over a year now when I make my weekly trips to the dollar tree. Today I actually had time to stop in for a bite to eat. Before ordering I had to do my Yelp research and found out that their best known for their cheesesteak and their wings. Their honey garlic wings had gotten rave reviews so that's what I went with. And what do you know, there's a 10% off check in special coupon on yelp when you order the number 10. (5 wings, fries, drink, and a cheesesteak.) I believe with the discount it was around $11. I loved the flavor of the wings. I usually prefer spicy wings but these were honey and delicious. I got so full on the five wings that I barely ate any of the cheesesteak. It was enough for three meals for me. Don't go expecting anything fancy . That's why I gave it four stars instead of five. I also found it weird that they won't give you salt and pepper. You have to go to the counter and they sprinkle it on your food for you. Oh well, something different at least! Check them out when you have time. The food is made to order and came out piping hot . |

This will satisfy all taste budz, especially those that enjoy "grilled jalapenos n onions" for that extra kick!\n\nNot to mention, you\'ll get a big kick if you sit at the bar and Ro serves you. Hang on! This is absolutely my favorite mexican place for sit down dining in the area. (and I've been to 'em all). \n\nThe staff is fast, pleasant and accommodating. The servers heavy accents make me feel like I've gone on a trip far far south of my less-than-caliente geographic location. The food is authentic enough to make this feeling last. \n\nThe food is always served quickly and is delivered hot enough to allow you to finish the conversation you're having with your mealtime companions before chowing down without fear of digging into a cold plate of mexican goodies. \n\nI recently took family here who have seriously discerning tastes and they were so impressed with the quality and authenticity of the food, as well as with the extra large portion sizes, that they will be taking friends here within the week.\n\nPerfect for a fun family dinner or date night. My husband and I got take out from here. I used the "explore the menu" on Yelp. Neither of us had ever had flautas but we gave them a whirl. Upon calling in our order we were put on hold for a couple minutes. When she came back I asked for the flautas and she kept insisting they were just an appetizer. She eventually put me on hold again and she said she found it and placed out order. Just 15 minutes later my husband picked up the food and it arrived to us hot and tasty. The quantity was good and it was well packaged. We would return if we were in the area. I seriously thought my husband was kidding when he told me he wanted to try this place, as I have not yet found a decent Mexican food place here in Cleveland (except for Nuevo Alcapulco). I am very picky about my Mexican food as I have lived in Southern Arizona for a little over a year and know what "real" Mexican food tastes like.\n\n It was a Friday night and the small little parking lot was packed. I figured that the cars had to be for Fiesta or Verizon Wireless really sucks for their customer service! We walked in and were seated right away. Large front dining room had a group of at least 15 people in one party. We were seated around the corner though in a smaller area that was a bit less noisy. Service was fast, chips were warm and the fresh salsa was awesome. We rarely ever finish a bowl of salsa, but tonight we asked for a 2nd bowl. I ordered 2 tacos and rice where as my husband ordered a beef burrito and the Azteca Sampler. Tons of food for both and the Margarita was huge! The server gave me the wrong taco filling but realized this on her own. She asked if I would like the correct ones, and when I said, "YES, please" she had the new tacos out within a minute later!!! \n\nI highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for decent Mexican food!! Great food, very decent prices, and awesome service!! This is my new favorite place to eat!! Fast service, great food, and huge margaritas! |

The prices are appropriate. The service is nice and if you don't feel like driving to Zetounis or Kabob Grill, this is the place to eat. First time here and it was great. The service was good and the food was awesome. I got the kabob plate with an assortment of meat and rice. It was very tender and seasoned well. Their fries are even good! The food was amazing. This place use to be a Moe's so the place isn't visually appealing. Interior could use an overhual. Food was great of course, the chef's are awesome, the servers were lacking knowledge. Nasty, very overpriced food. Stood there for 10-15 minutes before we were even acknowledged because the only waitress didn't want to stop talking to her friend. We gave her the benefit of the doubt because she was pregnant and hormones and stuff. We really should have just left. There was only one table with people and now I understand why, neither one of us could finish our food from how unpalatable it was. Do not be fooled by the decent pictures of their food on here. We will never be back. This was Friday night at 8:45 It's a miracle this place is even open because they have both bad service and bad food. Come on, you can only have one of the two. This place literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Went for lunch today, great place with a lot of potential. You walk in and you notice a very clean and organized place, looks like a well ran family restaurant.\nGot the beef Shawarma, one of the best I've ever had in the states, very tasty and the meet was very tender. The service was great, two nicely dressed and clean looking girls helping each other out, big smile on their faces.\n\nNow for suggestions:\n\n- Prices a little high, 8.99 for a wrap plus tax plus tip = $12 lunch. They would be much better off doing no service, and you order from the window and sit and the food gets brought to you, at least you wouldn't have to worry about the tip\n\n- You walk in for the first time and you don't know if you should sit, wait to be seated or walk up to the window\n\n- kitchen staff should wear matching outfits since its a glass line and you can see everything, and they should try to move faster and show that they are working hard. You just get the impression they are not too motivated.\n\nBesides that, great place with amazing food and lot of potential. |

The employees at this location have always been friendly and courteous.\n\nTuesdays: buy a combo, get another burger free! I will never and I mean never go to Fat burger again. my roommate went to get us dinner he got home and they shorted us a burger. he called them to get it straightened out they said he was lying, therefore we are out of our money but that will be the last time. I suggest find a different place not worth the money anyways but if you do go be sure to check your bag before you leave n if they try to short your order smack the shit out of them. Before the Peoria location opened, I'd never had a Fatburger, I think I saw the chain in other cities but had never eaten at one. I ate at this one not long after it first opened, and I REALLY liked it. It was one of the better fast burgers that I've had. The fries were good, the place was clean, and I loved the number placard that they gave you to claim your meal with its music and burger trivia on it.\n\nThe placards went away, and apparently so did the initial quality and cleanliness.\n\nI still like Fatburger burgers, but I don't know if I'll be returning to this location. I no longer live in Phoenix, so I pretty much only get to Fatburger when I come to town, and always thought of this as a good place. Well, sadly, it isn't that good of a place any more. The burgers, in my opinion, still taste good. But the place has suffered from neglect. There were only two people working there when I went there a couple of nights ago, and they were out of BACON. I gently chided the man on the register, how could a burger joint run out of bacon? He said the manager didn't order enough. And I guess it was impossible for a shift manager to take $40 out of the till and drive 3-5 miles to buy a bunch of bacon. Pretty lame, IMO.\n\nThat's pretty trivial, but it is indicative of a problem.\n\nThere were other indicators. First, the dining area hadn't been bussed. Tables were dirty, and that is not good. Second, the soda fountain had not been properly cleaned. Several levers were sticky with syrup, and that level of stickiness takes some time to build up. So proper cleaning procedure hadn't been followed for some time. Third, again attesting to the dining room not being properly maintained, they were all but empty of the little cups that you load with ketchup for your fries. They have two large bins for them and probably less than a dozen total available between the two.\n\nTo me, these indicate a total lack of concern from the owner/manager. The franchise is not being properly supervised, procedures are not being followed, and that is a problem.\n\nLet's talk about my meal. My burger was cooked properly and done quickly. There were two orders ahead of me and the woman at the grill seemed to be getting orders out speedily. My cheddar cheese burger tasted good, even without the extra-crispy bacon that I wanted. I've always liked the flavor of a Fatburger, it must be the meat and fat mix plus seasoning. The fries, though hot, were a little under-done. And the soda mix was not correct, I think too much soda water. I did not get a refill, I nursed the one drink through my meal and got icewater when I left. This is, after all, Phoenix summer.\n\nI would give them three stars for food, if they'd had the bacon I might have given them four.\n\nSo why am I giving them two stars overall?\n\nA couple at a table had a problem with their meal. I don't know what, but the woman was talking about how she couldn't eat it. Maybe the order was incorrect or they included something on her burger that she had a sensitivity to. Regardless, the workers did not satisfy them, as a result the woman complained throughout their meal and said 'This is going up on Yelp as soon as I get home!' Well, it hasn't yet, so she either calmed down and realized that she was perhaps overreacting or she just didn't get around to it. But the workers did nothing to placate them. Any small business, especially food, needs repeat business, and they lost those two customers that night. Maybe the workers didn't have the authority to satisfy the people with a future comp'd meal, which would indicate that the owners/managers have a weak set of procedures in place that produced dissatisfaction.\n\nI got the feeling that the place was under-staffed. I never saw more than two people, and neither came in to the dining room to clean. After the unhappy couple left without busing their table, that table sat uncleaned for over half an hour until I left. But on top of that, they had very little business that evening. I arrived around 7pm and stayed for an hour. One person came in after that picking up an order to go, one family came in just as I was leaving. That's not enough business to justify staying open.\n\nMaybe it was a slow night. Maybe they were shot-staffed that night. Maybe management is on vacation. Regardless, this location's owner and management need to take a serious look at how this site is operating, because otherwise, they're going to start losing money if they're not already.\n\nFor me, there are lots of places to get hamburgers, including Smashburger, The Habit, Steakenburger, Wineburger, etc. There's lots of places to get good burgers, and all of those locations have better numbers than this Fatburger. Burger is ok not the best not the worst. Fries hit or miss guess it depends who is cooking. Staff is usually very nice. Went there this week (Monday 6/10/13) for lunch. This time it was some white girl taking orders never seen her before working there but talk about rude and a stupid look on her face!!!! Wow!!! Ill go back but if I see her working the front ill go next door to Subway!!!! And I hate Subway!!!! Sitting at my desk in my office, I could see a steady flow of coworkers returning from their lunch breaks with Fatburger soda cups. This was enough to make me crave a big, fat, juicy, heart clogging, carb-filled burger and fries. So one day I decided to venture out and have my own Fatburger experience.\n\nI selected their King Burger combo meal because I always order more than I should. The meal consisted of a 1/2 pound burger, fries and a drink. I got the burger with all the fixins\' and selected the fat fries. The total for the meal was $9.19.\n\nArriving before the lunch rush, there was almost no line. The order taker was friendly and didn\'t try to "upsize me" or sell me anything other than what I wanted. I waited a bit longer than I wanted for my meal, but I guess that is because they cook everything when it\'s ordered. My only complaint is that there were no suitable containers in which to take out ketchup. They had those little paper cup things but there was no top to keep the contents from getting all over my car. There were also none of those ketchup packets to be found so I left their establishment ketcupless.\n\nBack in my office I found that the burger and fries actually look like what is on their menu which is a surprise. The size of the meal was very good and filled me up quite nicely and then some, so I guess the food and drink was a good value for my money. My only issue was the actual taste of the food. I found it very bland and average at best. They either need to better season their meat/bun/something or start using some "secret sauce" to flavor up their burgers. I had the same issue with the fries. Thankfully, I was able to pile on salt and steal some leftover ketcup packets from the community fridge. |

We went on a Sunday and they only had one server/bartender. We were warned we would have to wait to place an order. The staff was most apologetic. Service thus was slow with no coffee refill till we were leaving. Eggs Benedict were good , potatoes way over cooked- not edible in my mind. Left me with a very ho hum feeling not sure if we would ever go back Love it.....it my home away from home.....I travel to az for the weather .sports and great weather.... The best setting in the Valley! Overlooking the Troon Ocotillo Golf Club with water falls, lush plants, gorgeous sunsets, mountains...the patio is fantastic. Perfect for date night or a client dinner. The menu is somewhat limited, but good and service is very friendly. One of our favorites! Had lunch on the patio with friends. Food was ok, nothing special.\nWaitress took the order and when she served it, she called out who had the ...and who had the .... This went on till the whole table was served.\nI know she took the order so why didn't she know who had what? This was such a beautiful course and you don't really think you are playing in the desert somewhere! There were definitely a lot of holes with water so make sure you bring a lot of balls!! Some were sooooo difficult like the gold course that had the river right behind the hole so if you overshot...say bye bye to your perfectly played ball. There were a few island holes too esp on a par 3 in the white course. The people there were sooo friendly and one of my favorite was the fruit scented ice towel the marshall comes to deliver to you!!! MMMMM...it smells soooooooo good!!\n\nAfter the game...make sure you go to Bernards to have their reuben sandwich! It is sooo juicy....the beef just drips down your hand! BTW, their chicken quesadilla is amazing too! Fried just to a perfect crisp. |

This is absolutely unacceptable because the sale is misleading especially for someone with serious diet or allergies.\n\nI can understand it does get busy when they set up their stand for their food stand sales during convention time but please, please, onegaishimasu, separate and label your foods properly! \n\nBuyers be warned and check the food under the wrapper before you dig in. I'm between a 3 and a 4 star here. My husband and I ordered sushi- spicy tuna, salmon, rainbow, spicy yellowtail, tuna, and california. The selection wasn't very big, probably because there's also Hibachi. Our rolls were good and very fresh but I would probably venture elsewhere for sushi if I were to return to the area. The salmon and tuna had huge amounts of wasabi in them which wasn't mentioned on the menu, so I got a big mouthful of it on first bite. On the upside, the edamame was awesome. We went with friends from the area who were looking for something local to the airport. I had the chicken and steak combination as well as some sashimi and thought it was OK. The wait staff is friendly and tries real hard. The decor was ... well, let's just remember it's located in a Doubltree. \n\nOverall, it wasn't a bad experience and I would likely go again if in the area. Really not impressed with the poor service...very rude and condescending. There are dishes at all the tables and the servers are taking their sweet time to clear up the eye sore. It's kind of annoying when they walk by me constantly with the dirty dishes because the tables are so cramped.\n\nThe wakame salad is the worst I've ever tasted - dry and unseasoned. $9.50 + tax to boot. If that's authentic, it's not for me. I just left - I didn't order anything else after the miserable experience I've had thus far. I do not recommend dining alone. FYI prices are higher than usual. I was there for take out but sorry I have to say such a waste of money. Sashimi is not fresh at all and the thin slice doesn't worth of the money. Very fishy after taste. 5slices for $15 I can get way better quality sashimi elsewhere. The rolls was terrible, rice weren't stick together, the taste was below average. Overall poor service cuz not enough server, food quality was way below average and not worth the price. Will never go back. |

I came here as part of a large group and we had to wait over 1 hour for others to slowly arrive. The staff were all very patient and never rushed us. They gave us time to think about what to order and regularly checked-in to see if we were ready. \n\nThe interior design is comfortable and the atmosphere is very light and relaxing! Delicious and healthy foods! However, the prices are overpriced. I liked the vegetarian options on the menu so I made a reservation for dinner after watching a tiff movie on a Sunday. Our movie ran late but they were still able to take us as it wasn't very busy.\n\nThe menu had many items that looked good and a decent amount of vegetarian options. We started with the avocado wontons, which sounded unique. It was actually very bland and one came hollow....they brought out a different one to replace the hollow one but it was kind of burnt.\n\nMy husband had the fish charcuterie tray which he did not enjoy very much. It's probably best as a shared item but since I don't eat meat/fish, he found it difficult to manage by himself. He said he got tired of the taste...and the fish was cold.\n\nI ordered the district bowl which was vegan and gf. Sadly, this too was a cold item and very bland. As a vegetarian, I appreciate having options but I would prefer the food to be warm and way more flavourful I loved this place! I was here on a Friday night with a couple of friends. As it was a small group we ordered a bunch of plates for sharing. My favourites were nachos, chicken salad with apples and of course cheese fries! The nachos were not like nachos you're used to see, but more like mini pizzas with lots of toppings. It was delicious!\nThe drinks were good too(Caesar wasn't great though), especially the $1 per ounce house wine. We got a lovely waitress as well, she was pretty quick with our orders.\nI would definitely recommend this place for small groups and all kind of gatherings. Some friends and I went in here on a Friday night for some drinks and we absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was super chill and our server was very nice and friendly. The cocktails are super tasty and they have a unique beer selection. There was also a dj late in the night who was super dope. Just opened up and they have a roof top patio.. hell yes! Drop by with the boyfriend on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't as packed as the other patios. Maybe because it was new and people would rather have some wings and beer at Gabby's. \n\nThey feature house cocktails and healthy food. Wasn't really a huge fan of their food choices so we had a drink and left. I enjoyed a spicy caesar and the boyfriend enjoyed an IPA. The energy was great. Patio was new and spacious. Would definitely drop by for drinks in the summer.\n\nHappy Belly! |

I hope it closes and a good bar/restaurant goes in. Please stop eating/drinking at this establishment. Poor service. Had to wait about 15 min with no service so I left (didn't have any wait staff approach me at my table). Can't comment on the food though... This is a great lunch place.\n\nI have had lunch here a few times and it is always a positive experience. The wait staff are always friendly and courteous. The food is probably just ok but the wait staff make up for it. \n\nThe food is typical American bar food. Not hard to mess up.\n\nThe restaurant is also very good for large parties. There is plenty of room and they have the ability to move tables around to accommodate.\n\nI also thought the service was very speedy, allowing for a quick sit down lunch. Note: Am I wrong to assume that Pittsburgh Grille is an offshoot of the North Shore's Pittsburgh Grill & Sports Bar? The menus and the quality of food were similar. \n\nPittsburgh Grille has become a familiar sight to me on my travels considering that I pass it twice daily. The other night, prior to catching Primal Fear at Altar Bar, I decided to dine on some bar grub here. \n\nPG has the ambience of a private club despite its casual dress code. Families in Pirates gear and corporate types in suits co-existed peacefully along with the stocky, bald, ravenous guy wearing a Mastodon t-shirt (guess who?). The entire restaurant is deceptively spacious and includes a standard dining room and a lounge area with leather couches for those who really want to loaf. \n\nNot wanting to go for anything risky considering the other reviews, I simply opted for an Angus Bacon Pepperjack Cheeseburger and wasn't put off by it much. The patty could have been a little more even in terms of doneness (some parts were medium-rare, others medium), but the bun, veggies, bacon, and cheese all served the sandwich well. According to one of my two servers, the meat is never frozen, and no rubbery textures were encountered on my end, so bravo! \n\nThe over-seasoned fries were a bit too mushy on the inside and were so fragile that I needed to use a fork to eat them. However, the ridged dill pickle medallions were crisp, cold chips of brined bliss. \n\nDessert came humbly in the form of the Tortoise Sundae. Like the candy it's named after, chocolate sauce, caramel, and peanuts have the floor. Served in a tin cup like the parlors of old once did, the highlight of the treat was the thick, flavorful whipped cream that looked to have been piped-on by a veteran cake decorator and not sprayed out of an aerosol can. \n\nThe damage was close to $20. Ooof! I'm unsure if it was worth it. I've had parallel meals in greasy spoons that were even better and cost about half as much. \n\nDid I get beat? I get the vague feeling I did. \n\nP.S. Raissa and Amber were the duo I alluded to earlier, and they were both fun to be waited (doted?) on by. Amusing conversations about food, wi-fi (they have it, and it's free!), and life abounded as I noshed...before I moshed. Note: I was correct to assume that they are affiliated with the North Shore\'s \nPittsburgh Grill and Sports Bar. But are they affiliated with Castle Shannon\'s Pittsburgh Sports Bar & Grill? More answers, more questions...\n\nI pass this place regularly en route home from work, and one day last week, Kay wasn\'t home to cook. After hearing scuttlebutt that the menu had changed along with management since I last dropped by nearly a year ago, I decided to give PG a second chance. \n\nWell, the service was great, my green (it was her 2nd day on the job) waitress coming off as amicable and on the ball during my entire meal. Eh, but that food still needs some work.\n\nMy Po Boy Sandwich was centered around what was essentially a crab/shrimp patty that was edible enough, I suppose. I\'ve had worse. The pretzel bun was a nice touch, but despite what the menu said, there was no remoulade on the sandwich when it was brought to my table. \n\n"Oh, the cook didn\'t know." my apologetic server said. \n\nThankfully, she brought me some of that sauce out along with lettuce, onion, tomato, and dill pickle chips. \n\nThe fries weren\'t a bust either and had on them some sort of breading or batter that elevated them slightly above run-of-the-mill. \n\nDessert for me was called a "Pecan Ball," despite walnuts encrusting the globe of golden vanilla ice cream. I had to send it back since it had no whipped cream nor any other toppings on it, but like the pile of fries, it was acceptably tasty and little more. \n\nSo, it turns out that things haven\'t changed that much after all. I\'m wondering when PG will become something else. Then again, the house was half-full on a stormy weeknight. It must be the booze. |

I absolutely love the presentation of the food especially the edible flowers I am a huge foody love to travel and try new stuff ... I have to say hands down the best food truck I have tried ... the Peruvian side every dish is amazing but I love the ahi de Gallina and the pork sandwich is a culinary masterpiece.. the tacos to die for !!! Try it if you get lucky to catch them:))) This food truck serves Peruvian and Mexican dishes with the average price around 8 dollars per Entr\xc3\xa9e. I had Lomo Saltado which is a popular Peruvian dish. It consisted of marinated steak served and saut\xc3\xa9ed tomatoes and red onion , served with a side of jasmine rice and french fries( the fries still had the skins on them ) .This is a very tasty dish , portion size was good and was still piping hot when it was served. While I'm not a connoisseur of Peruvian food I enjoyed every bit of it , the only demerit that I could take away from this dish would be the amount of sodium used .Between the marinated steak and the soy sauce use to garnish the dish I found it rather salty. Presentation was awesome and the cost was good I believe it was seven dollars if I remember correctly. If you have the opportunity I would definitely try this food truck! What a cool meal. I tried the food out at the Food Truck Party on Las Vegas Blvd. There was a helpful gentleman that guided me through the menu. It was half Mexican dishes and half Peruvian dishes. I took a walk on the wild side and had the Aji de Galina from the Peruvian side. Not only was the dish beautiful, it was delicious and filling. I also got the Inca Cola. It was a cream soda with a twist. The food was worth every cent, the Cola... not so much (for me, you may love it).\n\nThey also have a burger option, but it is only 4oz. So it is more of a slider that a burger. \n\nFind this truck and enjoy a great meal! This so called "Peruvian" food truck is anything BUT authentic from my travels of the world and this country it\'s absolutely horrendous. The taste was there but the cut of meat was just awful tough thin flavorless, potatoes are soaked in oil which I get the point but these are absolutely ridiculous way too much sodium, the tomatoes and onions were a nice addition the rice wa great but the meat come on man care about your customers ! Toughest cut of meat ever and for twelve dollars ?? They should be selling this for 5 dollars MAX belongs in an empty strip mall thats just about to shutter, such a shame to call it this |

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Can\'t say much bad about my "goto" place for Chinese food. This food reminded me of my childhood days, and will probably keep me coming back. Fast service, hot, and tasty. \nMy only tip is, don\'t order the lemon shrimp! It\'s 90% batter, with a measly piece of shrimp inside. Also, their 1 wedge of lemon for that entire selection was a joke. I've been searching for good American Chinese food.

We frequently went there for many birthdays and anniversaries. The ambiance has always been minimal but clean and friendly. This was our first time at this new location. This is a smaller restaurant but also clean and the staff were courteous. The wait was 20 minutes before we were given menus and water , and another 15 before the garlic bread and relish tray arrived. The food arrived shortly after. It was hot and delicious. We ordered a full rack of ribs with accompanying potatoes ( or fries) and steamed vegetables. The ribs have always been delicious in spices with a barbque sauce. They are done perfectly (not the fall off the bone kind, ) BETTER!! If you have 2 hours to relax and eat then coming here is a must!! Probably a top 3 worst meal I've had in my entire life and this includes fast food. \nOur orders were entirely mixed up. We ordered appetizers which came after our mixed up and wrong meals came. The ribs were so dry you could not chew anything off of them. The service was beyond rude and very insulting. When my steak finally came I had no cutlery to eat it with and waited 10 minutes for a server to finally come. And then he still took another 3-4 minutes to bring cutlery. At that point I told the server I do not want my meal, and the people with me also did not want theirs. There was no apology once by any server or management at any point of their screw ups. What a disaster of a restaurant. Avoid this place. First things first, when we walked in at 6:30 we were the only customers there. This should've been a warning sign. I ordered the chicken neptune - when it came it looked pretty gross. It looked as though a can of crab meat was dumped on top of the chicken. It was just overloaded with crab meat to the point where it was sickening. My fianc\xc3\xa9 ordered the ribs and couldn't even finish his meal with how bad they tasted. The only decent tasting food were the mashed potatoes. We were considering having our engagement dinner here but after our experience, there's no way we will ever go back. I take customers out for lunch many many times all over Ontario and when I find one worthy of my stomach I will continue going there when in the area. Every customer that I have taken has enjoyed there meal and commented to me that for sure they will be back, not sure if they meant I would be with them to pay or not but hey! Servers were very polite, not pushy or in a rush to get us out, the owner Frank personally came over to greet us and to make sure everything is going well. This is a family owned and run family and not a chain. To all staff of Bills well done and thank you for making our visits a present one, always!! My boyfriend brought me here for dinner on Valentine\'s Day. From the moment we walked in, I sensed something was off. We were seated quickly as the restaurant was about 1/3 full at 6pm. After a quick glance at the appetizer section of the one page V-day menu, we both knew we had to order the grilled octopus, $18. \n\nA long 20 minutes later, a very unimpressive plate of cut up "grilled octopus" was brought out before us. It was cold. The chefs excuse that was relayed to the server: "it\'s supposed to be an octopus salad". Nope. The menu said "grilled octopus", that\'s it. So she took it away and came back 5 minutes later with the same dish, but warmed up. It was rubbery, it was luke warm, and it was horrendous. We put it aside and didn\'t take another bite. \n\nAt this point we had already ordered our main: the lobster and steak sampler platter for two. I was also sipping on a glass of wine while we waited and waited, and continued to be ignored by our server who didn\'t take the courtesy to come back and ask about our uneaten appetizer. About 40 minutes later and no sign of our meal, my boyfriend and I paid and left. \n\nWe were terribly disappointed with this experience and now had the daunting task of finding somewhere to eat at 7:30 on Valentine\'s Day. Thankfully, we had a happy ending elsewhere. \n\nMaybe the original location is better? Maybe it was just a bad night for this place? Most of my restaurant reviews are positive, but I couldn\'t stay quiet about this. I hope you have a better experience. |

Amazing pizza choices, whereas the entr\xc3\xa9es could stand a little more diversity.\n\nThree of us shared the antipasto plate and it was more than enough, and quite delicious--of note was one particular type of cheese with a horseradish-flavour. Quite good!\n\nHad the smothered chicken, which was quite tasty, with mashed potatoes and a green salad that had a little too much dressing but all in all a wonderful meal.\n\nOur server was a bit standoffish and cold, not friendly at all, but he got the job done. Their dinner is also amazing, and their patio is awesome-- really cozy. We had gluten free garlic bread (not amazing but still an indulgence) gluten free lasagna (awesome on a cool summer night), and gluten free pulled pork sandwiches. Then took a walk around beautiful Cabbagetown . Came here with a dairy/gluten free eating person and had an outstanding dinner.\n\nPrices were reasonable, giant menu with lots of choices for those annoying eaters out there - even what I chose ended up being without gluten and dairy. \n\nIt was a mashed potato and baked chicken breast (Rowe farms, none the less) which had a chickpea batter and a mushroom gravy. Total comfort food. \n\nThe space upstairs was also comfortable - but when you make your reservation call and ask for the bay window table - enjoy your meal while watching the derelicts of Parliment. \n\nThey made brunch sound pretty great - so will have to venture out again for that. \n\nThey have a large selection of pizzas, but aren't always able to accommodate gluten free for these apparently.\n\nA good restaurant. MMM! Big Mamma's Boy is an often overlooked spot for brunch - I say overlooked because it's tucked away on Parliament away from trendy neighbourhood joints and other restaurants, but trust me when I say it's worth it to veer off your usual path to try their toothsome brunch.\n\nThey specialize in gluten-free brunch - that means that if you are celiac or otherwise wheat sensitive, you can still enjoy their pancakes, crepes, waffles and muffins. In fact, Big Mamma's Boy seems to be 'food sensitivity' sensitive all around - they have sheep and goat's milk cheeses and hollandaise, and on one occasion I was offered duck eggs as a substitution on my Eggs Benedict (in case I wanted a break from chicken eggs). \n\nThere is never a long wait to get a table and the food is beautifully presented. In the summer there's a sweet little patio behind the restaurant that you should definitely check out! This place is now called Caroline's!!!\n\nFormerly known as Big Mama`s Boy, this has relaunched under the helm of it`s new owner and chief proprietor Caroline Murphy. Same location, phone number and web address. Hopefully, all the links they have available on their site will reflect the changes. \n\nI was pleasantly surprised by this place. It`s charming and inviting with personable customer service to boot. Now, how is the food you ask? \n\nFor all you fine folks suffering from celiac disease and are on the hunt for having a gluten free dining experience - come here! It will make you feel like you are just like everyone else. You wanna know something? It`s such a simple thing but a great thing. Here, you are not sacraficing flavour. Almost the entire menu, I believe, with the exception of the spring rolls is gluten free.\n\nI must say, I had the best pancakes! I usually don`t like pancakes because they tend to be too heavy for me to finish but these were light and flavourful - and yes, gluten free (go figure, eh?).\n\nI would love to come back here and try their dinner menu which includes pizzas that have been rated the best in 2010!\n\nReasonably priced and plenty of choices.

J'ai mon petit plat favoris: le pad sew au poulet! En plus, les quantit\xc3\xa9s sont, selon moi, amplement suffisantes, j'ai souvent du mal \xc3\xa0 finir mais la gourmandise fait que je le finis toujours! Et le prix? Plus qu'abordable!\n\nCe que j'appr\xc3\xa9cie surtout c'est qu'on les voit pr\xc3\xa9parer notre plat, \xc3\xa7a permet de surveiller un peu ce qu' il se passe en cuisine! Et c'est toujours impressionnant de voir les grandes flammes qui atteignent presque le visage du cuistot! \n\n\nSi vous avez une envie soudaine de manger tha\xc3\xaf vite fait, tha\xc3\xaf express fera l'affaire! C\'est de la nourriture "thai" am\xc3\xa9ricanis\xc3\xa9 disons. Le riz frit v\xc3\xa9g\xc3\xa9 (ce que je prends toujours) est super bon, mais ils ne le cuisinent pas de la m\xc3\xaame fa\xc3\xa7on \xc3\xa0 chaque fois. Les cuisiniers plus exp\xc3\xa9riment\xc3\xa9s connaissent mieux les quantit\xc3\xa9s \xc3\xa0 respecter et le temps de pr\xc3\xa9paration, les plus nouveaux ou ceux qui sont plus stress\xc3\xa9s, vont faire un riz souvent trop huileux, ou avec pas assez de sauce ou se tromper dans ta commande. Genre te donner un basilic au lieu d\'un thai. Le service est souvent mauvais car \xc3\xa0 la caisse ils parlent rarement fran\xc3\xa7ais. Pour la rapidit\xc3\xa9, c\'est super, ils servent les gens tr\xc3\xa8s rapidement ! The place itself is a little too small, and the chairs and tables are placed very closed to each other (perhaps too close, making movements almost impossible).\n\nI ordered the beef fried rice and my girlfriend had the general thai. I ordered mine extra spicy and oh boy those chilis were HOT. So hot that I can barely taste anything else (coming from a guy who feeds on spicy Sichuanese cuisine almost daily). I still managed to finish the plate but my suggestion is to never ask for extra spicy in this place because their peppers are much, much hotter than any other Thai Express.\n\nThe rice I had was not properly separated, meaning that I had many "clots" of rice grains that were tasteless. In addition, the chicken from the general thai was over-fried, such that it was a bit too hard to bite.\n\nFinal verdict: given it is fast-food place, it is really not that bad. Thai Express is one of the places that I would not mind going when I need food quickly or when I simply do not want to cook for the night. I tried this one and ordered for a to-go. Now I do not plan to go back at all because of two reasons.\n\nFirst, it's dirty. The place is really dirty that I could see flies on limes (yes, they were sitting on them) and the ceiling.. It looked like they do not clean until the store closes. It was a bit.. disgusting.\n\nSecond, it's salty. VERY salty. Food was very oily too. The to-go box looked like a garbage can after it dried... I actually couldn't finish eating because it was too salty. I had to drink at least 1L of water after to remove that salty feeling on my tongue... Let's cut this to several points.\nI love thai express, it's a quick and easy pad thai to eat (I always order pad thai).\nIt's the first one I try this one.\n\nIf you're on a rush, no problem, because service is really really quick !! You order and get your meal within 10 minutes for sure. 5/5 for that.\n\nI asked my plate to be very spicy, and saw that the guy did not put any in my plat so I asked him again and he said ok. Not sure he understood.. he gave me my flat pad thai, and I asked him if it was really spicy he just pointed at the sriracha sauce without looking at me. It irritated me a bit. 2/5 for that.\n\nThere was no lemon. I read in another review that were used to be flies on limes but I think this time of the year flies are gone. I asked politely for lime and had to wait 2 minutes to get it.\nI must admit, there might be a language barrier, they mostly spoke chinese I believe .. but still !! 3/5 for that.\n\nFood was okay though, once I decorated my pad thai with the peanus, lime and sriracha. Generous portion!\n4/5 for it.\n\nNo chopsticks to be found, 2/5.\n\nOverall since the quick service and the ok food, i'll give it a 3/5. It'S OK. |

Decided to try this place while in Montreal and really regret it. The Gnocchi which was the most recommended was horrible. It just tasted like undercooked dough. Did not have enough cheese in it and was maybe a handful. For almost $30 thats not reasonable at all. Did not like the servers as they were a bit rude and slightly insulting. Again the cesar salad was like $13 and so dry and had like one teaspoon of dressing. Also calamari is almost $20 and it has like 2 pieces. Was more disappointed than impressed. They like to cheap out on the ingredients. It was horrible and I wouldn't recommend especially for the price. omgggg!! So Good!! Staff was warm and inviting as we sat down for dinner. I had made a reservation just in case but we were able to be seated right away as it was not that busy. The street Ristorante Quattro is on is super cute and filled with cool souvenir shops. I had the seafood spaghetti and i'll just say the taste was amazing because i don't think i can use the words i want to describe how all the flavors melted in my mouth. If i'm ever in Montreal again this place is a must! Good food (parppadelle & puttanesca, nom NOM), good wine, good location.\nThe bruschetta starter was alright, too much raw garlic imo. \n\nThe service was slow and disorganised, hence the 4 stars.\nToo bad, better luck next time, the pasta was good enough for a second visit. Stumbled into this restaurant on our first night in Montreal out of the pouring rain. We were a party of 6 and we did not have a reservation. The restaurant was packed and we were not too hopeful that we would get in. However, the manager/host (super friendly guy) quickly ran off to see if he could set-up a table for 6. We were pleasantly surprised that he could seat us. As one of the starters (on the house) he brought out some bruschetta that was very good. Tons of flavor and it did not disappoint. We knew if the starter was this great that the meal should hopefully be fabulous. For our main entrees the table chose the following:\n\n- Veal Milanese\n- Papperdelle (Ceaser to start - fantastic salad)\n- Chicken Pesto Pasta Special\n- Penne - Truffle/Sausage\n- Chicken Special with sundried Tomatoes (and Italian Bean/Pasta Soup to start)\n\nThey also had a great selection of wines. Overall we had a great time and the food, service and ambience was just perfect. Very friendly atmosphere and food was really good. Had great crusty bread and really fresh tomato and basil bruschetta brought to the table automatically, so ordering an appetizer seemed like overkill. In the touristy Vieux Port area, but not a touristy place. Nice wine selection and staff able and willing to make recommendations. Best Italian I've had outside NY |

Their long waits make it somewhat of a standoff for hungry Southpark goers. Made it in on a Sunday afternoon and my wife and I were astonished at how fast we were seated. They make it happen here. \n\nSide note: cell reception (att iPhone) is almost non existent. Good luck, iPhoners.\n\nFirst off, we were starving. We had just gotten back from a camping trip and were ready to gorge on our silverware if we had to. Started off with a couple of beers. OMB and Blue Moon. Always amazing. Let me say that presentation of water is never anything to bat an eyelash at, but Cowfish makes you think twice. Served in a glass milk bottle. Uhh...hello, badass! \n\nFor apps, we ordered the sticks, sweets and strings. If you have a small army of fried food-loving people to feed, this is the appetizer for you. Piled high with sweet potato fries, onion straws and amazing seasoned fries. \n\nEntrees:\n\nMy wife got the green monster, veggie style. So good and topped with an array of chiles and fried jalape\xc3\xb1os. Cucumbers were a nice touch and relief from the inherent heat. \n\nI ventured into burgushi land for the first time. Went for the taste explosion as it was our server's recommendation. I'm at a loss for words. The texture: odd but welcomed. The composition: pretty large. Nicely done and plated beautifully. The flavor: this is where I struggle. So many flavors. The nori, sticky rice, beef, jalapenos and bacon were so savory but separate. Right amount of heat. Just hard to land on whether or not its groundbreaking. Let's say my interest has been peaked and I'm ready for the next roll on the menu. Bring it on, burgushi!\n\nThe Cowfish is worth anyone's time. Charlotte native, visitor, what have you, you need to stop in and sample their vast menu. Service is professional, fast and friendly. Warning: be prepared to wait on busy nights! That patio is hot to trot in the Southpark scene. Get in there fast!\n\nCheers! The Cowfish is not your average sushi place. They specialize in total original and one of a kind sushi and burgers. Some of their classics even infuse a mixture of burgers and sushi. Everything we had was so fresh and the service we received from Jonathan was superb. The presentation of the meals we had were exquisite. we were only able to sample four meal choices and were very pleased with everything. My wife and I left completely satisfied and very full. I would definitely recommend the Cowfish for a great night out. Cow fish is a unique experience. We had a wait at the bar prior to being seated outside. They do a text msg thing to those waiting and you can track your fish so you know how much longer your wait is. It's fun! \n\nWe were told by a few colleagues to try the bento box as a first time guest. We did and shared different rolls and truffle / sweet potato fries. Food was very good, rolls and beef alike were well prepared. And it's pretty fun to eat sushi and a burger at the same time! This place is Great! It's very, very busy - had to wait nearly an hour on a Thursday evening so I can't give it a full 5 stars. If you don't mind waiting - the food is worth it! Our waitress Lauren was great - she started us out with cocktails. Do yourself a favor and get the Snake in the Grass - nice strong drink with bold flavors - can't wait to try and recreate this at home - yum! The onion rings as an appetizer are some of the best we've ever shared - huge rings that were crunchy, not greasy. You could make a meal out of these alone. We ordered the mushroom roll and Mrs. Woodbury's roll - delicious and fresh. I'm already trying to figure out a trip back to Charlotte just to eat here. Just wish a few less people knew how great this place is :-) Great place. Must go at least once! Great food, great service, great atmosphere. \n\nReasons I gave it 4 stars: first reason is that well there is always better somewhere haha.... Also, when we were in there tonight, there was group of 12 people that decided to scream and talk over each other. Extremely rude. However that I'm sure is not usual for this place. It was a great time. Would have been better if those 12 knew how to act in public. |

We had 18 people go. We had made arrangements with the manager, Rob Webb, a few days ahead of time. He told us about the limited item menus that were available. The intention of the limited menu is to get food out to the group quickly and also to save $5-6 per person. They are a set price and include salad, non-alcoholic beverages and entree. Meals were served in a timely manner. Food was great. Our server, Maria, was excellent. We all had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Went there Saturday night for dinner. We arrived shortly after 8pm and was seated immediately. Our waitress, I think her name was Chery was very pleasant and attentive. Drinks and fresh hot bread came quickly. Hubby orders the mama trio, my son get spaghetti and meatballs, and I ordered the pasta Milano. After she put our orders in the kitchen she came back to inform my hubby that the kitchen was out of lasagna and offered to have more chicken parm instead. He accepted since that's his favorite anyway. Chery got my sons order in quickly and brought it out first. This was great because he kept whining about about food.\n\nOverall it's just OK. I'm only giving 3 stars though because this isn't the first time we've gone there and the have run out of something or multiple things. I would give a 2.5 if I could. Running out of something like classic lasagna before 8pm when place is still open for several more hours on a Saturday night is an indication of poor planning/prepping. Came here at 1830 on a Friday night and about 96% of tables were taken so a friend and I got seated right away. Server came to us right away with waters before anything was asked. I liked it, because, who wouldn't want water? I ordered calamari with a biscotti hot toddy (coffee with Bailey's). Strange combo but no regrets! The biscotti toddy was so delicious that I ordered a second one. The calamari was good. I like my fried calamari lightly breaded with a good crisp and theirs is heavily breaded but it was really crispy so I can't complain. My main dish was the pollo caprese. I was trying to imagine how it will look like and when it came and had a taste I wasn't dissatisfied. It was good but the chicken was a bit on the salty side but I liked the grilled/charred taste it had. I liked the pasta. Just the right balance of pasta to sauce ratio to fulfill a good flavor. I would come back to try other dishes and suggest for others to give it a try. I am a loyal customer to this franchise. Granite im use to the ones in California but I wanted to try this location and I will never return. I went Sunday around 3pm and they had maybe 3 tables of people in the hole restaurant. We walked in and stood at the front to be seated for about 5 min before being seated we had to go find someone to help us. We desided to sit in the bar because we figured we would get better service there. Well I was wrong, the waitress brought us more drinks then we asked for, then she brought them and dropped on on the floor and didnt even mop it up. Then we ordered and they took well over 25 min to bring the food to the table. It tasted like it was sitting for a while because we ended up getting 3 differnt waitresses. I always get the same thing there and it didnt tast anything like what I usually order. Then after we were done eating my husband had to get off the table to ask for a box because once again Simone forgot about us. Long story short very crappy customer service!! Wont return to this location I had a 2 for 1 $9.00 express dinner coupon so we order up 2 dinners to go. The deal was 9 min or its free, it took 20, but since I was getting 2 meals for $9.00 I did not make a fuss. \n\n The actual pasta was fine and amount was fair but it had maybe a 1/4 of a chicken breast. The chicken tasted like it came from Taco Bell, VERY processed. The sauce straight from a can.\n\n I have had much better frozen dinners. My husband and I used to like Macaroni Grill it sad too see its food go so down hill. |

All the food is amazing. You have to try the Lebanese jibneh, spicy hummus, mixed grills, pita! In town for the day, Lebanese sounded great. \n\nThe chicken schwarma was served fresh and hot. Very good. Fries seasoned just right. \n\nOnly suggestion I would have.....I would have loved some hummus and tabbouleh to start. But, they only had the $7-8 dinner appetizer portions. Not appropriate for a guy dining by himself without the ability to take home leftovers. \n\nVery good!!! This is literally the best medeterranian food I've ever had. Everything tasted freshly made. The seasoning was sublime; real skill went into preparing this food. Bravo to the cooks. I had the fattoush (sp?!?) salad and a falafel sandwich for lunch. Maybe I was just that hungry, but it was elevated beyond any other medeterranian I've tasted. In the same way that after a point you stop being able to describe music with words, I don't think I can describe this place adequately. My recommendation is to just try it for yourself. Great food, the baba ganoush is delicious. The lentil dish also was very good. A bit pricy as most of downtown can be, but very good food We had the tour of Lebanon "Taste of Taza" appetizer. Definitely enough to share for 4 people. The mixed grill 2 entree was amazing. Definitely highlighted by the beef tenderloin. The chicken was a close second place and the beef kafta was a close third place. Would definitely recommend for a family as they were very accommodating. |

Do not come here expecting some 4-5 star service and food, its not meant to be that kind of place and never was or will be. Its means for locals to come and become regulars and enjoy a basic breakfast and a great price. Yes its small and a little cramped but oh well, your not here for the night, just a meal, live with it. \n\nI came here with my parents as my final breakfast in the state of WI for many months as I leave for Seattle tomorrow for my new job out that way. My folks had been here before but this was my first. \n\nI got the steak omelet with hashbrowns and toast. Portions were good, food was tasty and the price was right. The servers are friendly and kind and they keep up very well for a busy place during breakfast hours. Coffee here is really good as well! The pies and desserts here looked to die for by the way so please do me a favor and get a slice for me since I will be some 2000 miles west of this little place. The Koffee Kup is one of those restaurants that just has great food. It is not a chain restaurant, so you have that personal service you get from a locally owned restaurant. The owner is normally there. Many of the waitresses have been there for some time. If you go often, they will know you and what you like. It is like going home for a meal.\n\nThe Koffee Kup is not a large restaurant. It has some counter seating and a mix of tables and booth seating. There is no smoking in the restaurant so there is no worry of second hand smoke. Parking is on the street and along one side, but normally there is plenty in front on the street. \n\nIf you are going to try the Koffee Kup for the first time, try the Friday Fish Fry. There are many places in and around Stoughton (or Madison) that serve up a pretty good fish fry. The Koffee Kup's Friday Fish Fry is one of the best and could be the best for your money. They offer cod, perch and walleye. Any of the fish can get deep fried, grilled or broiled. Any of the selections are under $10 and come with coleslaw and the potato of your choice. For a little extra you can get any number of soups. The clam chowder is great for Friday night. But the shrimp chowder is out of this world. A little spicy, but nothing even a wimp could not handle. It is a soup that you would expect to find in one of the best seafood restaurants on either coast. Order a bowl right off, a cup is not enough.\n\nAll the deserts are home made and are worth saving room for if you can. They have a large selection of pies. Their strawberry shortcake is really good. It is made with homemade biscuits and your choice of whipped cream or ice cream. If you are lucky enough to be there a night they have bread pudding, try it. Even if you are not a fan of bread pudding it is worth a bite or two.\n\nBreakfast and lunch are also good and with a large selection. Coffee is under a dollar for a bottomless cup. One of the few places left that serve such good coffee for so cheap. If you are going for dinner, go early, they generally close at 8 pm. \n\nOverall this is a great restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is a great value and serves up great food. Used to be the right place to eat - Went last Saturday 7/21.around 2 pm and it was very disappointing! They took about 5 minutes to give us the Menu - which is fine - but then drop our silverware WET and without a napkin - very disgusting. Then our server never mentioned the special - (whatever) - and took about 20 minutes to come back and ask our order. I ordered the Fish Sandwich (not recommended it). Once we were done eating, my husband needed a box and yes, we had ti wait again. I must say that our server wasn't friendly, she didn't even smile once. I don't usually write bad reviews but in this case I just had to do it, specially because the daughter of the owner wasn't there and I want to let the owners know about the bad service that their restaurant is giving. Every time the daughter of the owner is there, service is excellent. Please bring back the old customer service you were known for. \n\nAbout the menu : same options every time - please be more creative.\n\nAbout the price: It's ALWAYS good.\n\nService: Used to be a 10 now a 2. Pros: Great service, friendly staff, awesome food, fast. We had breakfast for lunch- perfectly cooked eggs and a pancake. Our server was very friendly and overall the experience was perfect. \n\nCons: none- we will be back! Ordered Prime rib Saturday at 4:40 PM 9-10-16 it was so tough the fork bent trying to eat. They offered a free desert instead of removing the cost of $15 for this horrible piece of meat. Didn\'t even take the rest of it home as what can you do to fix it? They did not even offer another piece of meat. The jumbo breaded shrimp was way too mushy and greasy. This place is known for great breakfast food and we agree, but after 2 PM food not so much. They should have refunded our cost for the prime rib, All the waitress said was "can I get you another fork". Unbelievable. Won\'t be going there after 2 PM. anymore. |

Great food at low prices. Easily the best Mexican in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh.\n\nThe service is fast, attentive, and efficient. The portions and prices match up perfectly, especially for lunch time.\n\n My favorite dish here has consistently been the camarones mexicanos. It's a huge plate of no less than 10 plump grilled shrimp with their delicious cheese sauce over it, beans, and guac salad for between $6-$7 during lunch time. \n\nI've also haid their tacos, fajitas, carnitas, and salads and every time I have been. This place has so much actual flavor in their food and nothing tastes like it was from a can and reheated. \n\nCan't wait to get back here! Yummy. Had the carne asada tacos with a nice warm (spicy but not overwhelming) tomatillo sauce. After having an interesting time at the car dealership we found ourselves in need of food and drink. I checked yelp and found this place. Walking in we were greater by a friendly hosted who showed us to a booth. Not 5 sec later we were brought out chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and the salsa had good spice and a smooth consistency. The menu is large with lots of different combinations. \n\nTo drink I ordered a large margarita and Bry had a negra modelo on draft. The margarita had great flavor. For dinner I choice chicken and cheese flautas. They were delicious. The chicken was moist and well seasoned and the guacamole it came with was also very good. The other half had a fajita dish with beef chicken and shrimp which is his staple and he enjoyed it. The little boy had a quesadilla and French fries. He ate almost all of it. Once it cooled down enough for him to eat it. \n\nThis was a great place for a meal. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food is hot, fresh and comes out fast. Not much more I could ask for at a place like this. Place was completely empty at 3:00, tried to get lunch but they said I had to get dinner, ok.....ordered the same steak sizzling faihitas Except no cheese and like a spoonful of sour cream. Asked for cheese and more sour cream and I got mozzeralla (where's the cheddar?) and charged 2.50 for the cheese and 2.00 for more sour cream! Service was ok,food was fast, (again no one else there, no reason for any delays) food was tasty. 40 bucks for 2 was not what I was looking for Mexican food....sorry would not recommend because I was never told of the upcharge for cheese and more sour cream, I basically paid for everyone's sour cream on their plate that day... |

I'd be pissed if I dropped $100 on a steak and then was handed a paper plate and told to sit and eat it on a park bench next to homeless deviants. This isn't much better. This is in a food court and is a counter rather than a restaurant like many of their locations off the strip. They have a few seats at the counter and then many seats in the food court area. We were looking for something fast to eat, so we decided on this. We all enjoyed our food. It was your basic diner-type food, which I enjoyed. The employees were nice and we got our food quickly. The food court was also pretty nice and was clean. It is also a quiet place on the strip. \nI have eaten here multiple times and I have enjoyed it every time. This Johnny Rockets inside The Venetian should be SHUT DOWN! My husband had a bacon cheeseburger for lunch here on 01/25/2011 (his birthday) and about an hour or so after eating it he was vomiting, sweating, diarrhea... All classic signs of food poisoning. His birthday was ruined. Our third and last night at The Venetian was absolutely ruined! Up until the time he ate this cheeseburger, he was just fine. The only thing that made this horrible food poisoning experience bearable was that my husband had a king size bed in a nice luxurious suite to be bedridden in.\n\nWe will never eat here or another Johnny rockets again! A differenza delle recensione, sar\xc3\xb2 stata fortunata ma ho assaggiato l hambuger pi\xc3\xb9 buono di sempre. Lo straconsiglio sopratutto quello con bacon e cheddar,la fine del mondo. Ci ritornerei volentieri se potessi. After four days of going to restaurants, it was nice getting a quick straightforward breakfast without having to be waited upon. The omelet was good, fresh made and a big portion size. Will definitely stop back here if I'm staying at the Venetian and need a quick breakfast without all the wait. |

It has a very retro diner kind of feel, if you enjoy that kind of thing (there's a counter with spinning stools and a whole lot of booths). Their chocolate milk shakes are fantastic, and I've always had a good experience with anything they have that comes with eggs and hash browns. It's easily one of the best diners on the planet! The food is great and the service is efficient. It's open 24x7 which is great for my 3am cravings. It's a great spot to be at after unofficial- you'll always have a great story to tell and have some fun times at the diner at that time. They have a jukebox that's seldom used but still nice to have when you're in a great mood. Also, their fries are by far the only ones that I've thought can match up to the McDonald's fries. \n\nThe staff is really really nice! I remember once when it was freezing and I got a hot chocolate with some eggs, and the lady gave me another hot chocolate to go for free just because it was really cold out. \n\nThey also will make you custom things as long as they have the ingredients that you request. I've been to all the locations in the Champaign-Urbana region, and this is probably the best one! It's only ever shut on New Year's eve and Christmas day. The one in downtown on Neil is never shut. Perfect diner breakfast! Loved the hash browns that were crispy and tasty. And the breakfast burrito was amazing! I feel bad for giving this place only 3-stars because it so beloved by U if I students. Perks are that it's open 24-hours, but I really wouldn't go unless you're drunk or hungover. The milkshakes are thin and had ice pieces in them and the fries aren't anything special. The corned beef hash is pretty good. Although the food here is good and the price are ok, this is listed as a quiet restaurant and when I went in at 5am for breakfast this morning they were blaring gangster rap so loud you could hear it from the street. And it was non stop throughout my meal. Not the way I was trying to wake up. I will no be returning to this location. |

It was really fun as this involved the customers and everyone was really getting in to it, singing along to the throw back tunes! \n\nFood is ok, pricey for mediocre wings, but definitely a fun place to be! Buyer beware!\n\nWent here for a quick bite the other night. 2 of us split 3 lbs of wings and had one beer apiece. Tasty wings! But I just checked my credit card online today and the bill was way above what it should've been (roughly $20 higher)\n\nIn hindsight the barmaid deliberately kept me distracted while I was punching away at the debit machine. Sneaky hobbitses!!\n\nAnyway, congrats on the bilking, but you just lost 2 customers who will never come back to your location. I love the food and the atmosphere of this location. I don't goto any other location but this one. The employees are great, and the service is top notch. Gord and I had our last Photo 101 class class this evening so met for supper. We'd been there a couple weeks ago. The wings had been good but the service was lacking.\n\nWe both ordered the 2 for 1 Mozza Sticks.\n\nGord ordered Mystery wings. He said they were sweet, hot and salty. He liked them and would order them again.\n\n I ordered Rhinestone Boots (Thai & Raspberry). Interesting combination, right? And raspberry on a wing? They were good (a bit spicy and sweet) and I'd order them again.\n\nJordyn was our server towards the end and she was friendly ... they need more servers like her.\n\nGiven this evening's positive experience, I'd go back if I'm in the area. Gord and I were going to a three hour Travel Photography 101 workshop this evening at Henry's. Before the workshop, we met a Wild Wing at Church/Queen W for an early supper .. it's not far from Henry's.\n\nBecause it was fairly early, there were only a handful of people ... watching the EuroCup 2012.\n\nThey have taken some of their wings off the menu ... but there are still 90+ to choose from.\n\nI ordered Come Get Some. I like dill and found these were a bit bland. Plus there was no other sauce to contrast the dill sauce. They were okay, not great, and I wouldn't order them again.\n\nGord ordered Smokin' Dill. His were much better. The BBQ sauce gave them a kick.\n\nAdam was our friendly server and took good care of us. |

Seriously, this food was delivered hot, fresh and tasty to our hotel! The House lo mein is delicious, plenty of tender beef, chicken and shrimp! The Orange chicken is round balls of fluffy fried goodness packed with insane orange flavor and a little orange zest to brighten it up! The crab puffs are sweet and amazing! And all 3 dishes only 27.00 with delivery fee! What! Oh yeah I said it! And the delivery guy was prompt and friendly! I don't know anything about the actual building it came from, but for fast, fresh, delicious delivery, this is a must try! Eat and live well! Enjoy! Still as good as I remembered it. Pepper steak a little greasy this tme but still great. All the food we ordered was great. But then I have never had a bad meal from them. In fact being from back east , I was looking for a good chinese restaurant. I tried a few of them, but fried rice with peas snd carrots is not my idea of a true chinese restaurant. My daughter reccomended Mings Pagoda and we havent gotten chinese food from anywhere else since. Went here last night with a friend...OH MY GOD!\nI moved out here from Jersey when I was 11 and this is the best Chinese Food I've had in 14 years! This food struck home for me from the first bite! I was a little kid again, sitting on a telephone book for sunday dinner\nWe ordered the pork fried rice, sweet and sour soup, wonton soup, and (goodness it bugs me not to remember the name) a spicy dish with zuchinni, chicken, shrimp, water chestnuts, and peanuts.\nFor drinks we ordered two iced teas. These were not you Lipton powder variety either! These were a delicious slightly earthy Oolong that complemented our dishes very nicely.\nThe service was fantastic, attentive without hovering. Our waitress guided us through the menu patiently and, had my budget allowed for it, I'd have ordered all of her suggestions they all sounded so good! I was torn between the soups and the pork eggrolls for my appetizer and wound up ordering the wonton soup(divine!) and a little while later we were treated to a pair of eggrolls on the house!\n\nThis place is wonderful, Totally recomend it.\n\nGO. THERE! Rice is so so. It's a hit or miss but that sesame beef, omg that's good! Big potion sizes.. place is a bit ran down, so I recommend take out or delivery. |

Got Kung Pao chicken and some egg drop soup.\n\nFood was good, although the Kung Pao could have been spicier. Staff was exceptionally friendly.\n\nOnly complaint is the same as I had with Mr Taco before it closed: 10000 watts of lighting and utilitarian furnishings are not the atmosphere I look for in a restaurant. That was one reason we quit going to Mr Taco. Hope these guys learn and do better.\n\nThat said, we needed a good Chinese take-out joint closer to home. If they can keep up the good work, we\'ll be regulars. The portions are pretty large and the food is on the up and up... I ordered the Kung Pao chicken with no water chestnuts, extra spicy... They didn't skimp on the spice (which I loved), but the chicken was the sliced kind instead of chunks, so that was kind of meh... That's just a personal preference of mine, though... The flavor was good, though, so that made up for it... \n\nThe Kung Pao chicken comes with broccoli, carrots and mushrooms (also, those pesky water chestnuts, if you like them)... A dynamite combo... The fried rice seemed to have few additions to it, but it was still an agreeable companion... I rarely eat all of the egg rolls at Chinese places because they're so greasy, but this one was crisp without the accompanying oil sidecar... \n\nThey deliver with a $15 minimum, if you're within their area as well, so it's worth a check... I'll be back the next time I get a craving... Of all the Chinese I've had out here in suburbia, this place is the best by far. If you're going to eat there, the decor is rather simple... it's nice and clean for sure.... but generally when I order Chinese it's takeout anyway.\n\nSpring rolls and potstickers are top notch - pot stickers have the option of steamed or fried, which is nice (I prefer them steamed).\n\nAll the main courses we've ordered from here have been awesome - no complaints at all. The people working there seem super nice too.\n\nBest Chinese in SW Charlotte for sure. This is the kind of place where you walk inside and get the feeling that you should turn back around and find some other place to eat. Unfortunately my coworker did not seem to mind the cafeteria-style food layout along with the 50 degree temperature (i.e. no heat on) on a January afternoon. \n\nThis is by far the worst Chinese food I've had in years. The lunch special consists of cafeteria style selections that are anything but fresh. Two of my three selections were obviously leftovers from the previous day as they were dried out and crusty with no taste.\n\nThis place SUCKS. horrible customer service i ordered from them two weeks ago and tried to put in a order today and they said they no longer deliver on my side of town mind you the restaurant is the next block over ! |

Pour ma part, j'ai trouv\xc3\xa9 que le tout manquait d'herbes de Provence. \nSoit, une qualit\xc3\xa9 bien au dessus de toutes ces pizzas \xc3\xa9paisses, grasses et inond\xc3\xa9es de fromage et de pepperonis.\nUne bonne place dans le village, qui a satisfait tout le monde. Great place. Not feeling up to huge New Years Dinner with friends, so I dined solo.Server and staff very friendly. Great thin crust pizza. I had the Generosa,it comes in 3 sizes,including the Piccolo for one. Bravo 5 stars,Cafe filtre hot and strong. Thank you Philip ! |
