"I'm the first person to review the Foodery? You have GOT to be kidding me. No self-respecting beer snob has been able to live in Philly without dropping serious money at this beer-specializing corner store. They have an extensive selection of domestic microbrews, craft beers and imports. Their Belgian selection is excellent and they also have killer Scotch Ales (Traquair Jacobite...$9 a bottle but SOOO worth it). \n\nDon't think you're going to get off lightly in the cash department. While they do offer a 10% discount on their mix-a-six, these beers can add up. I'm not saying it's a rip off (read my review on Philadeli) but it ain't going to be cheap either. Also, they've recently hired some staff beer-geeks to walk the novice through the daunting prospect of choosing six beers.",
"Some nights, like last night for instance, I'm all about the cheap beer and old movies ($11 case of Lions Head Light bottles at Springfield). But there are those other times... the \"break out the good china\" nights, where you're entertaining some folks to impress, or you've just had a long week, and say, \"Jake, treat yourself to the best.\"\n\nThe Foodery isn't the best. But for selections on beer and mixer-sixers, they make booze shopping fun. The prices, while they aren't anything you'll want to write home about, do beat those times when you grab a nice 6-pack from a pizza place and pay 15 bucks for it. Plus, the store sits on good ground, and in a nice area. It becomes more of an experience... which only adds to the pleasure of drinking away the treasure later on.",
"Great beer selection. Double IPA's, high gravity beers, all kinds of stuff that tempted my visiting friend to buy so much beer, we had to split the purchase into two trips. I like the mix a six - a little something for everyone - really great to bring to parties. Prices are what they are for Pennsylvania and small production beers.",
"To me, not only is the Foodery great for grabbing my favorites, but it can be a great last minute gift shop! Going out of town for a birthday or anniversary? Stop by the Foodery on your way out, grab a container, and put together a selection of Philadelphia local brews, or if your friend is a world traveler, pick a beer from each continent! A great, inexpensive gift that is social and enjoyable!",
"Now this is a beer aficionados paradise. It houses all of your favorite beer, all the beer that you have ever wanted to try, and all of the beer that you have never known about , right their waiting for you. and all the beer is grouped and organized to perfection - all the Belgian ales are together, same with the local ales, German beers, etc. so you can pin point your selection so it's right to your liking. \nMy only complaint is how tricky picking those final two beers can be. if only you could mix a case! but it has a good staff who are capable of selecting a beer for you based on what you like. and they constantly update their selection.",
"Best beer store in Philly and then some. The selection is huge and I've yet to go to the larger store up in Northern Liberties.\n\nI enjoy the fact that I can pick up a good selection of the beers I used to drink back home (including my home town favourite Sam Smiths, the best bitter in England) as well as a lot of the beers I have discovered while doing fieldwork around the world (Coopers from Australia, to mention one great brew).\n\nSure, you occasionally get a dud (please don't drink the Hambleton Sugar Ale, it's made from Molasses and really was horrid, I should have payed more attention to the label) but that is only to be expected with a selection like this and I guess someone out there in Philly probably thinks my dud is the best bottle of fermented hops to ever run across their lips...\n\nThe selection of beer glasses from around the world (or stolen from the nearest pub with authentic glasses, who knows) are great and I always look forward to my birthday and a few more pieces of drinking paraphernalia .\n\nI hear it also sells other things apart from beer, I've never noticed them though...",
"To my beloved Foodery,\n\nYou have been a beacon in the night on so many evening walks home from a rough day at work. I know that I can always pop in to grab my favorite alcoholic beverages. You sure do know what a girl likes, Foodery. Sea Dog, Rogue Dead Guy, Rodenbach, Lambic, you have it all. Marry me? \n\nI take it all back. It might be weird to be married to a building...\n\nLet's just stay friends. :)",
"the best selection of take out beer within an hours drive. the staff if sometimes aloof are almost always knowledgable and willing to chat about what you like or might like. constantly changing selection, great local beer availability. one reviewer said the place would be history if there were competition, anyone is welcome to start a similar business. me, i'll still go to the foodery, kinda in my hood, very affordable and downright nice. keep up the good work.",
"Amazing selection of beers, hundreds of varieties separated by country of origin in the cases. The prices are great and they even have the 'cheap shit' in six pack pounders, if you're looking for quantity over quality. Staff is knowledgeable but a little scary. They know their beer and can help guide you to something new and exotic but they look like hell half the time... drinking too much the night before? I can't really blame them, some screwed up people shop here, especially during Phillies games plus I hear the owner is bat shit crazy... so that can't help morale. In any case... (get the pun?) shop here frequently! Ask them their opinion and advice, then tip them. I don't tip for just having them bag my beer, but when they can give me good advice it's more than worth a buck or two.",
"The fact that they have almost an entire shelf dedicated to Scottish beer brings a tartan-colored tear to my eye (try Kelpie...no, wait...you didn't hear that...save it for me.)\n\nyeah it's pricey, but it's convenient and they stock stuff you can't get on foot in the city...I have to truck out the burbs to find a selection that'll stack up to it."

"Tranquil and enjoyable either after a round of golf or just because. This is the clubhouse to the beautiful Jack Nicklaus golf course at the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain. Cayton's serves up \"American Comfort Cuisine with a Southwestern Flare\". They have a nice Happy Hour from 3-6PM that locals should really head out there to enjoy. The fish and chips on the menu is A-MA-ZING!! it is slightly spicy with a light crispy breading and the dipping sauce is tangy/spicy... definitely has the \"Southwestern Flare\". Any of the food we tried was great! Great patio to enjoy the cooler weather months in Arizona. Very romantic in atmosphere, makes for a nice weekend date.",
"Excellent place to view the sunset. Food and service is very good. If you are staying at the Ritz or just want a good place to watch a sunset and have drinks and dinner go, you will not regret it.",
"Best place to have cocktails and watch the sunset over the mountains. It is apart from the hotel by the golf course. It is the prettiest room with very authentic decor. The food is good, the service is better and the setting is perfect.\n\nI've had drinks and apps there twice and my next visit will be for Sunday Brunch.",
"The ribs were awful! Cayton's supposed signature dish is their ribs. At least I heard several of the waiters say this. But, the ribs I received were perhaps the worst I have ever had. First, they were artificially hot (likely because they were microwaved). Then, they tasted rubbery and overdone. The restaurant manager said that the ribs were made fresh everyday. I find that hard to believe...these ribs were likely several days old. Besides this, the bread was stale. This place is clearly up to the standards of the Ritz-Carlton.",
"Cant write a review of the food because on a TUESDAY at 6pm with the place half empty we were told that they couldnt seat/serve us since we didnt have reservations...there were just 3 of us and there wasnt even a 'hey, do you want to sit at the bar?' or 'sorry; please come again' thrown in. So while the setting was beautiful I probably wont venture all that way again.",
"Wonderful meal, fabulous service and incredible setting. Thoroughly enjoyable.",
"I despise this place. My wife has a friend that likes the ambiance and the view, so we go whenever she has a birthday or wants to get the gang together, but I absolutely dread it every time. The staff is friendly enough, but it's readily apparent that you're paying for the setting and not the food. It doesn't take much to impress me (after all, I am a repeat customer at 3 star establishments - but they're 3 star establishments with 3 star prices), but I have never had a single meal here that was worth the money or even the drive. High prices and lousy food combine to make this a automatic out. Unfortunately, I know I'll be right back here as soon as the princess summons...",
"The atmosphere is somewhat snooty. Nice looking, but you can feel the attitude of the employees and the patrons. Our server maybe thought he had seen me before and called me by someone else's name. (This was our first time there!) \nThe server was reasonably attentive otherwise.\n\nWhile my dinner (crab cake burger) was really good, as were the tater tots, my wife's sliders were inedible. She asked and confirmed catsup on the side, but it was on the burger anyway. The meat was dry and there were peppers which was NOT stated on the menu. (Big No-No!)\n\nBut here is what really had me annoyed: we both ordered margaritas, on the rocks, with NO salt. My wife watched closely as the bartender made them. He loaded the rims of the glasses with salt and poured the drinks from the shaker. Then, after discovering his mistake, he poured the drinks back into the shaker allowing much of the salt to go in there with it. Then poured it back into new saltless glasses. Guess he thought no one was watching. When the server brought them to us, we mentioned the action. He offered us fresh drinks, but we declined.\n\nWhile he did offer new drinks, we do not know if he said anything to the bartender. Given the feel of the place, and the actions of the bartender, we will not return. \n\nGrossly over priced. You are paying for the pleasure of dining with the cream of society. I'll wager my tip was far greater than the guy with the $90 golf shirt.",
"Wow, this place was fantastic! My friends and I were staycationing at the Ritz Carlton and someone suggested Cayton's for dinner. After a long day at the pool, it was perfect! We took the shuttle over and were immediately greeted. We were told the sunset from the patio was amazing, so we asked to be seated out there before dinner. We were quickly served our drinks and thoroughly enjoyed the view. Truly worth catching! We then were escorted inside to the private wine room where I had the most phenomenal short ribs ever. Everyone's meals were great and the service was amazing. If you are out that way, Cayton's isn't to be missed!",
"For of us went for dinner last night. The house potato chips were excellent, though some might find them overcooked (I like them that way). Shared an order of the mussels, which is one of the reasons why I rated 4 stars instead of 5 - they were small.\nThe bison burger was very good, but I ordered medium rare and it came out medium. My wife ordered the crab cake with the recommended whole wheat bun and she thought the wheat was overpowering.\nThe best thing on the menu is the sweet potato fries - crisp on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. One order will easily do for two people.\nThe view from the patio is one of the best in Tucson, and the happy hour prices are really quite good. I'd go back for the happy hour and enjoy the view with a half-price Dragoon IPA.\nThe server was very attentive without being bothersome. Overall, the ratio of employees to guests was very high, no wonder they have to keep prices high.\nOur bill was $56/couple, a lot to pay for burger, a fries, a beer and an appetizer, but considering the setting its a nice special occasion destination."

"Ate here once. The Gyro was pretty good, although nothing too special. Definitely solid though.\n\nThe greek salad was loaded with cheese, radishes, olives and piled to the ceiling. Very good, but didn't keep past an hour after the meal.",
"I'm not typically a big Mediterranean/Greek food fan but my wife is. She got me to with her and just go try it out, I had a Greek Salad and it was incredible! You've never had a greek salad until you've had one from Louis Pappas.",
"Great Greek food. Friendly staff. Free Wi-Fi! One of my favorite spots!",
"Tonight we took a break from the Cuban hunt and opted for sushi. As I was pulling into the parking lot I noticed Louis Pappas. Hummus trumps sushi every day of the week for me, so I pulled in here instead.\n\nWe ordered appetizers. Flatbread, spanakopita, hummus (of course), and the soup of the day, oddly, chili. \n\nStaff was very friendly, atmosphere casual. You order at a counter and sit down, and they bring the food to your table.\n\nProblem was deciding what was yummiest! The hummus is going into my Best Hummus list. The pita chips were fried. I'd have preferred grilled. I'll ask next time. The spanakopita was delicious, and the tatziki was thick and creamy. The flatbread was a pretty decent pizza. I took pics of all the plates. The baklava was also yummy. \n\nLittle Greek and Hungry Greek face very stiff competition in the Westchase area for your Greek dining dollars. I'm a fan!",
"If you're looking for a quick, affordable meal in Citrus Park, give this place a try. This is THE best casual Greek restaurant in Tampa. And yes, I think I've tried them all. \n\nTheir Greek salad here is phenomenal. I find myself frequently craving it. Get the chopped version and thank me later (they also offer a \"traditional\" with slightly diffferent ingredients). They have both a small and large. I have never seen the large, and I have never finished the small. This says a lot considering I'd probably have a good run as a competitive eater. You really don't need to add any meat onto the salad either (which will cost you some extra $$). Between the huge portion, scoop of potato salad, it is plenty satisfying even for a devout carnivore.\n\nI eat here a lot but I rarely stray from the salad. I have tried their amazing tzatziki that comes with FRIED pita bread. I also have tried and enjoyed their dolmades. \n\nAnd of course, they get a gold star for serving Coke products.",
"I think this is the best lunch I've ever had. The staff was fine, but not exceptional. The place was pretty clean, but there were a few booths that were left unbussed for about 20 minutes- kind of yuck and unsightly. BUT THE CHOPPED GREEK SALAD. Fuuuuuh. It was everything a Greek salad should be, and more. I ordered some gyro meat on the side & I shredded it up and tossed it in my salad. Freaking YUM. I could go on and on. The potato salad on the bottom was fantastic. That's it. I'm getting one today. You should too! Mind. Blown.",
"The Pappas family name is known for great Greek food in the Tampa area, and this little market cafe delivers with yummy Greek salads, gyros, and other well-known favorites. The \"small\" chopped Greek salad is a delicious mound of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, peppers, radishes, Greek olives and more on top of a scoop of potato salad. Simply genius! The gyro meat was perfectly charred and expertly seasoned.",
"Louis Pappas always has a friendly place serving up good greek food. Their extensive menu includes Salads, Flatbread, Sandwich, Wraps, Rice Bowls and etc. The ambiance is always calm and they always greet you with care and a smile.\n\nOn the favorites, the Mojo Pork Sandwich should be a must try. The mojo-marinated pork is moist and flavor-filled. I prefer mine without the cheese to maximize the mojo flavor. My second favorite is Greek Rice Bowl with Gyro meat. This item with juicy Gyro meat and grilled onion, tomato, and peppers paired with feta and tzatziki, is a taste burst of flavor that keeps you wanting more. Try this with their grilled chicken if you are not a fan of Gyro meat.\n\nThe Mousaka is another not-to-miss item with perfectly roasted eggplant with spiced (not hot) ground beef. Have one / two or mix & match.\n\nOverall, Louis Pappas Market is a must visit to judge for yourself. I can guarantee you will like their carefully prepared food.",
"About once a month, my wife and I need to satisfy our Tzatziki cravings so we head to Louis Pappas Market Cafe. She'll usually get the Greek Salad chopped and a side dish of Mediterranean Spreads with Tzatziki and the pita chips. I've been known to move around a little bit on the choices but my favorite is an appetizer of Greek Meze (two spanakopitas, two dolmades, pita chips and hummus) and the gyro meat platter with the Greek Potatoes. Half if not most of the Greek Meze ends up going home for the next day's lunch. The Greek Potatoes are great if you like roasted potatoes with a little olive oil drizzled over the top. The spanakopita is decent. The dolmades are good this way, but are better if served with a little bit of a lemon sauce like they do with the side dishes. The Chopped Salad (remember small is enough for an entree, large enough for two meals) comes traditionally with potato salad underneath. There is a good portion of Gyro meat on the platter, served usually with raw onion, sliced tomatoes, and wonderful Tzatziki. All in all, good Greek home cooking and satisfying. I usually have to push the car seat back a notch on the way home.\nThe place is pretty clean in appearance. Your meals are ordered in line and brought to you when ready. Drinks are usually soft drinks and iced tea and are unlimited.",
"This is the best Greek food outside of the Tarpon Area. The food is obviously outstanding with that intro. The place is clean and the service is friendly. I tend to go for the Gyro or the Chopped Greek Salad when stopping in for lunch. However their Dolmades and Spanikopita are top notch as well."

"A real treasure for the cummins station area. The steak sandwich is unbelievable, delicious (and very strong) coffee, and an incredible pastry selection. The staff is very warm and welcoming, usually introducing themselves and shaking your hand if they haven't seen you before. Great atmosphere.",
"Okay, I admit it. I'm a fake coffee lover. No, no, not decaf. By fake coffee, I mean add creamer, some syrups and some honey, a dash of cinnamon, and maybe a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Ahh, now that is a coffee! Or so I thought.\n\nUpon arriving to the newly opened Coffee, Lunch., I went for a non-fat latte. Much to my fear, I took a sip without any additions. No honey, no cinnamon, no sweetener. Not even the sprinkle of cocoa powder. And you know what? It was pretty much the best no-frills caffeinated beverage I've ever had. There was no acidity, no bitterness, no need for extras. It was like the Bridget Jones of coffees, I loved it just as it was.\n\nAs for the food, well, can you marry a sandwich? I'd like to. It's a pretty close toss up between the turkey and the steak sandwich - the fresh combination of flavors is like a party in my mouth. Seriously, they just know how to combine simple, fresh ingredients to make the perfect sandwich. Hmm. Maybe I'll just marry the bread...\n\nUnfortunately, I have yet to try any baked goods. Next up on my list of things to try: chocolate dulce cookies - one look at those will melt your brain into a pool of sweet happiness. I can't wait to try one!\n\nAs if all of this wouldn't be reason enough to come here, you will surely be graced by a group of wonderful staff. They are so friendly and excited about what they are creating for you! Honestly, I realize I'm raving on and on about this place, but holy moly - they know what they're doing!\n\nThis place is definitely going to be added to a Nashville Favorites list!",
"Today I had the chicken salad sandwich. Everything on the menu sounded so good that I just chose something at random. I love sandwiches, and the main thing I look for in a good sandwich is a taste I can't duplicate. \n\nThe chicken salad sandwich at Coffee, Lunch. has so many tasty traits: It's creamy, with perfectly-textured chicken. There's a balance of salty, sweet and acidic. For the life of me, I can't figure out what makes it so delicious! That's why I love it.\n\nAnd that's not all. I had a watermelon agua fresca, which was also yumma-licious. After the lovely experience I had today, I plan to make Coffee, Lunch. a weekly habit. The next item on my list? Definitely the steak sandwich!",
"There is something to be said for service with a smile. I have been a fan of co-owner, Khalil Davis, since his days at Fido and Hot & Cold. \n\nThe coffee is wonderful and the food is delicious. Good food and drink aside, it's the service that will always make me return. \n\nDrop in and see for yourself. The welcome is warm, coffee is hot, and food is perfect every time.",
"I hate to be the rain on the parade, but this place has one thing really going for it: the coffee. They use Sunergo's, a roast based out of Louisville, and they do a really good job with that. I've had the ice coffee and the mocha, and both are great. That's not totally true: the baked goods, the cookies and croissants, are pretty decent, too.\n\nThe food is too creepy for me. It's all sandwiches with weird stuff like squash squeezings or bourbon poached pear? What They take simple foods and up the hipster ratio by adding odd fillings to basic ham or steak sandwiches! Perfect for the bizarro Cummins Station/Gulch crowd who can't be bothered with standard fare. The weirder the better.\n\nAnd the ambiance. Oh, the weird ambiance. You don't think about it until it slaps you across the face and leaves you unable to relax. I guess I've been condition to accept stuff like Smooth Jazz, Classical Music, or the new age stuff that flows around the tables at most coffee shops, but I will never be able to get used to the hip-hop that I've generally come upon here. It just causes me to tense up, and that's the exact opposite of the reaction I want at my coffee shop experience.\n\nBut like I've said, the coffee is really good. And since this is a coffee shop, and Khalil is a really nice guy, it's not fair to give it less than three stars. Some of the secondary parts of the place just annoy me, and I don't like my coffee shops annoying.",
"REALLY excited about the new coffee and inventive food addition to Nashville's scene. I went in knowing that co-owner Khalil had been involved previously with Fido, so I assumed Coffee, Lunch would be utilizing Bongo Java beans. Not so, and you know what? Blasphemous, I know... I enjoyed Coffee, Lunch's coffee more. Sorry, Fido. :( I LOVE the Fido/Bongo Java umbrella, but I think it's Fido's food in particular that I love so much. I've repeatedly stated it's the most underrated restaurant in Nashville.\n\nAnyway, I drank Coffee, Lunch's soy cappuccino, which was just excellent. For lunch I had the steak and gruyere sandwich, which packed a yummy punch. This is so unlike anything I would normally order (steak on a sandwich? Not really my thing). It was great though - on a HOMEMADE hoagie (no sh*t), with arugula and a kind of butternut squash puree on the sandwich. And an aioli, or mayo-y thing. It was awesome. Especially the homemade hoagie bread...\n\nAnd I couldn't leave without sampling something sweet, so I grabbed a chocolate dipped shortbread cookie. It was wonderful. The chocolate soufflé in the refrigerated area was tempting, but a little too heavy a dessert for the time of day. \n\nReally glad to have tried this place, and look forward to returning. It was a little too cold today to try the cardamom iced coffee special.",
"Best steak sandwich in town. Best hummus plate in town. Best Cubano I have ever tasted...and all in a great atmosphere and smiling faces! This place deserves nothing less than five stars.",
"Made this my before work morning stop today for my daily Iced Coffee problem. Added in a parfait as the daily baked goods were still baking. You can actually watch the pastry chef at work, which I always like. \n\nFirst, I usually sweeten my iced coffee - this was spot on and didn't need the extra. Although the lady who rang me up had her drink for the morning, and iced mocha with almond and maple... may have to try that pairing soon. Sounded delish. \n\nSecond, the service was fantastic. The drinks were prepared quickly and everyone was personable and chatty. \n\nThird..ly, I can't wait to come back and sample lunch. \n\nThere is parking around the area, don't be scared of the the parallel and take change for the metors.",
"Khalil does it right at Coffee, Lunch. I stop in about 3-4 times per week and he knows my name and drink. Haven't gotten much of the food but it looks great! The pastries are fantastic. He's also got a nice collection of books to browse if the line's long and they are always having a blast listening to great music too! Come by if you want to be greeted with a genuine smile. I feel it's a little on the pricey side for coffee but I don't know exactly... can't be much more than Starbucks and I much prefer supporting a fun local business!",
"Yay finally this place opened! I know everyone in the area was eagerly awaiting the arrival of Coffee, Lunch. \n\nFirst of all, the service is great. Everyone is really nice and friendly, and I have to disagree with the previous review on the music; I happen to like the music that they play. Definitely gives me a wake up! And hey, if I had my own place, I'd probably play whatever I wanted!\n\nThe iced coffee is awesome; that's my go-to drink. It's a nice strong flavor without really tasting overbearing. I've also tried the pastry...the cinnamon bun is pretty much amazing. I'm usually not a huge fan of those, but it looked so good in the case, I had to splurge. Get it if they have them; trust me. I also tried the chocolate truffle cookie dough. Yeah you read that right; it has cookie dough in the chocolate. They look small but they are RICH. One is definitely enough to cure your sweet tooth (and in to the next day). \n\nOverall, it's a nice quick and convenient stop. My next thing to get will be the steak sandwich. I've been hearing rave reviews.\n\nWell done Coffee, Lunch. I'll be back!"

"The food here is decent. There is rarely a wait and service is quick and polite. Red Chinese decorations hang from the ceiling, making the atmosphere festive and bright. I found the mango chicken special to be particularly flavorful, and overall the menu is not bad. A small complaint would be that the waitresses sometimes do not understand special requests. In my area, this is my preferred place to eat Chinese.",
"The good service and quick deliveries keep me ordering from this place. The presentation is above average so I can easily recommend it if you are looking for this kind of suburban chinese food place. Crispy fried duck is good. I will order or dine there again.",
"This place fell off big time. There is NO flavor in the food. It used to be our old stand by but they must have new management because we have not been happy the last few times we ate there. We now have a new standby that is right around the corner.",
"Good: Chinese pizza, crab Rangoon. Ckn shrimp and beef in garlic sauce. \n\nHappy they opened up again and there's another option besides china bowl though they are only open for take out. They are re doing their inside but it's not finished yet.",
"I'm going to do this anal-retentive OCD list style, since the previous reviews pretty much have it right.\n\n1. Take out is cheaper than eating in.\n2. Fried rice is bland and not very good. In fact, I'd say China Bowl down the street has a better, more flavorful fried rice.\n3. Lo mein is alright.\n4. Interior decor is quite nice, colorful, interesting and comforting.\n5. Service is good.\n6. Some dishes are better than others. I'm sure most would be pleased with the sweet & savory dishes, including General Tso, black bean sauce dishes, and the likes of garlic or Szechuan.\n7. Having tea inside is pleasant.\n8. Accepts plastic.\n9. Delivery is prompt.\n10. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place.",
"China Wok offers consistently good, but not great, Chinese food. Take-out orders are usually done in a timely fashion, and our orders are always accurately filled with no surprises when we open the bags at home. The take-out Won-ton soup is a great value in the large quart size; it's packed with wontons and is a meal in itself.\n\nThe interior of the restaurant is much nicer than you'd expect for a strip-mall location, with tasteful decorations and nice booths. Service is usually pretty good, although it's been slow a few times when we've gone for lunch.\n\nTheir prices have been on an upward trajectory lately, though, and I think they may be pricing themselves out of our business. It might be time to try China Bowl around the corner again.",
"This is a nice sit down Chinese restaurant. I got take out for lunch and their food is pretty good and prices aren't bad. Just make sure to have cash if your order is under $10. Customer service is pretty good; a concept that is lost these days. I definitely recommend this place!",
"After being introduced to this place by friends, it has become a staple in our dining out schedule. The staff is warm and welcoming and eager to fill every request. The interesting decor is enhanced by large, colorful hanging umbrellas throughout the restaurant. There are special dishes combining a variety of fruits and vegetables with beef, seafood, lamb, and chicken. You can also create your own combinations, selecting ingredients that provide for a more healthful diet (tofu, less salt, Bok Choy). Really good food, quality service, convenient location and affordable prices will keep us coming back.",
"Tired of Chinese restuarants that do not care to make an effort to prepare nice food? Look no further. This place has a nice informal feel. Decor and lighting is subdued and authentic (as is the music). Great service and beautifully prepared food. Try the mango shrimp special - it is delicious. Generous portions too. \n\nWill be back soon.",
"I was impressed the minute I walked in, and I left even happier.\n\nVery clean and modern inside, not the usual drab interior of a local Chinese restaurant. The service was very attentive and nice, and we ordered quickly.\n\nThe Food? Very good quality, I was very happy with my dish and appetizer. Since I'm a fan of Chinese food, I always order hot tea, and it was also good.\n\nThis is one of my new favorite local restaurants!"

"I had this for the first time today, and I must say that it was the best and freshest poke I have tried. I have known Eric, the owner, for over 10 years. His super high standard of fish and food in general never disappoints. I love the concept of build your own bowls and cannot wait to try more from the menu. Considering the poke bowl trend is appearing all over major cities, South Tampa absolutely needed this. The foodie in me loved the outstanding quality and flavor and how fast and convenient it is also. I could taste the freshness in all of the ingredients, so that speaks for itself. I will definitely be back!",
"This place is so good! I'm so glad I found since recently moving to south Tampa. I've gotten the Hawaiian bowl twice so far. All the ingredients including the tuna are so fresh and well prepared each time I've been. I love they have so many healthy options and they're quick and not too pricey. Im excited to try more things on their menu like the acai bowls, sushi burrito, and juices.",
"The food, the concept, AND the service are superb! This is a concept that the area definitely needed, and they did it right! This is how Poke SHOULD BE. This is pretty darn close to the poke my wife and I ate while in Hawaii. The service was very very good and we look forward to MANY more experiences in the drive thru or via delivery through Bitesquad.",
"Just what South Tampa needed - a poke spot!! I did a make your own poke bowl - tuna, white rice, avocado, spicy mayo & eel sauce and everything was out of this world delicious. The tuna was fresh and every ingredient was on point. This is a drive through place with very friendly people who take your order, while you can see the chef preparing your bowl! Highly recommend checking this place out, I can't wait to keep revisiting!",
"SO GOOD!!! I am a huge fan of bowls so I was very excited when I saw Big Island Poke open down the street from me.\n\nI ordered the spicy tuna bowl and it was great! The brown rice was really good. I hate when I go to a place and their rice has a weird after taste. This was not the case at all! Large amounts of tuna and delicious onion crisps!\n\nThey also have smoothies that I will definitely try next time.\n\nIt's a whole in the wall drive thru window place! Do not miss it! Pull in and get some good healthy food!",
"Love love Big Island Poke! So fresh and authentic. Healthy and great serving size. They have something for everyone. Grab a bowl for lunch or a fresh juice on your way home from the Y.",
"Solid options and enjoyable food for a decent price. I've had the bowls, dogs, and smoothies. All have been enjoyable. \n\nThe location is super convienent and the service has been great so far. Just hoping they don't raise the prices in a few months.",
"We stoped and tried an acai bowl and smooth. I had the natural acai bowl- acai, fresh blueberries, bananas, honey and granola...delicious!!! The berry bang smooth- blue berries, acai berry, banana, apple and ice, delicious and refreshing. Will definitely be back",
"Delicious! My husband got the Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl, I got the Hawaiian Poke Bowl and the kids got 2 Kona dogs....everything was so fresh and the flavors were on point. Can't wait to go back and try more! 5 stars is easily deserved!",
"So glad to see Poke Bowl available in South Tampa! Great bowls and friendly service, how can you go wrong!"

"I have always driven by Keva Juice and just assumed it was another spin off of Jamba Juice. I never really stopped or gave thought to give it a chance to show off how cool it actually is. \nMy husband actually starting going pretty regularly and was raving about how healthy it was. I was like, \"sure...its probably loaded with sugars from juice concentrates.\" He finally convinced me to go in and check it out myself one day, so I did just that. \n\nI really friendly gal helped me decide what it was I wanted. I told her I didn't want anything sweet or overly fruity. I wanted vegetables. I noticed they had a bunch of wheat grass lined up on the counters, so I immediately had good vibes. I ordered a Berry green smoothie from the veggie menu and waited paitently. \n\nI saw the employee's grabbing all the ingredients and then blending them ferociously in their industrial blenders. Boom...just like that you have your smoothie. I tasted it and to my surprise, it was awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Upon purchasing a smoothie, you also get a free boost so I chose magnesium and calcium to be added to mine, what the heck...it's free! \n\nI was pleasantly surprised with the product that I received and have already been back three times. It's definitely worth stopping in and it's so much more than just a fruit juice smoothie bar!",
"This place is delicious! Great price for the smoothies also. You can signup email for a free smoothie! Try the ragin bull or berry blast.",
"Way better than other kevas in Reno. Awesome customer service very friendly staff. They were quick and knew their stuff. Would highly recommend!",
"Stopped by Keva because we saw the window advertisement for the Pumpkin Smash smoothies.\n\nWalked in to a clean environment with two employees who were attentively waiting at the counter, not socializing or on their phones. They greeted me with a smile and I placed an order for two medium smoothies. Each employee made a smoothie and I was in and out in less than three minutes! \n\nPaid $10.71 for two \"medium\" smoothies that I personally would have considered a large size. And the smoothie itself is superb! Love the recipe; not too sweet, clearly tastes like pumpkin and hit the spot!\n\nFantastic experience.",
"LOVE keva juice! Way better than Jamba Juice! Love the yogurt bar and variety of options on their menu! This location especially has very friendly staff.",
"I have liked Keva juice for years, but this Keva juice takes it to a whole new level. Every time I have visited the staff is friendly, tentative and full of helpful tips. I have visited on different days, at different times, and they are always fantastic. \n\nEveryone of the employees has helped me find substitute ingredients to whatever shake I am craving. Since I'm allergic to a large amounts of fruits, vegetable and other aspects of life, this is AMAZING! They took the time to do such things as washing the spoons, and making sure as little as possible cross contamination occurs. \n\nBeyond all of that though, the best part of this Keva Juice is that each employee truly wants you to have the best juice or smooth you could possibly have.",
"My family and I are Keva crazy! Honestly you cannot really go wrong with any smoothie here. My daughter and I are here three to four times a week.\n\n They also recently started selling fresh pressed juices for you juicers that want to take a break, but still want the health benefits.\n\n This location also does frozen yogurt and has a happy hour, but do call ahead as things change. They offer a few sweet dessert shakes for your sweet tooth with less guilt than ice cream, Oreo speed wagon I think is the name is to die for! \n\nThey also sell stuffed pretzels, I always see the high school kids in our area order them. I come in primarily for the smoothies and dessert shakes. For those of you that are lactose intolerant like myself, they make almond milk frozen yogurt.\n\nAcai allure, strawberry squeezer, Hulk green and Tahoe blue are a few of my family favorites. Prices vary starting at $3.97, $4.97 up to $6.97, 12 oz, 24oz. and 32 oz. Each smoothie does come with a free element, so don't forget to get your add in. \n\nThey also have a punch card to earn a free smoothie with any minimum $5 purchase so if you haven't started one, do so after 10 you get up to $6 free smoothie.The best part is that you don't have to carry this one, add your email or phone number and you just enter that info after your purchase. They are open all year long and I am lucky they're so close to my house. Everyone is so friendly here and welcoming that I do not mind \ncoming back so frequently.",
"My daughter loves the frozen yogurt here : but the yogurt is too sweet for me.\nand \nif the coffee robot is functioning that day, I can get a treat too.\n....IF IT IS WORKING....",
"Keva is back! It's been a long tradition for our family to grab a smoothie for the 1 1/2 hr drive home from Reno. We were so bummed when the shop on Virginia closed. We've never really cared for Jamba. Probably because I was always trying to recreate my favorite addiction \"Pineapple Splash\" and nothing came close. Now that we've found this new location right next to Safeway gas, we're back in business! Tips: After 5 is half off the yogurt. Fresh juice daily on the go at the counter for a quick fix. As for flavors I highly recommend the Pineapple Splash with the free \"smart\" additive. Hubby is more adventurous, last week he ordered the Dragonfruit special, today he's enjoying his frequent fav \"Gimmie Guava\". You just can't go wrong with Keva! And the girls here are always smiling - maybe it's something in the juice ;)",
"Very disappointed with this location as I was common customer weekly until yesterday as location failed to open even close to on time as the Keva juice associate showed up late not hurrying at all then once they arrived (already late) went inside and then locked door for no access for countless minutes as I grew tired of the wait I then left."

"My work ordered a huge bbq chicken pizza from here which had a perfect thin crust, baked to perfection with quality mozzarella cheese melting over lightly sauced chicken morsels. mmmm.... had to go back. Went back with my friend and ordered the smallest size thinking that he would only have a bite since he wasn't that hungry but then we ended up splitting it. It was a little larger than I thought! Same gourmet quality. It is NOT Imo's which I did try. Very different style of pizza there. I went back AGAIN to Fortel's today for lunch with a coworker and ordered a spicy chicken sub-type sandwich off of their lunch menu and my coworker ordered fried ravioli. what? yeah! I drink Fitz root beer there. I think it's my new lunch hot spot. I can walk there from where I work. It's inexpensive with lots of menu options.",
"Amazing pizza! The dough tastes fresh, plenty of cheese, beer and wine available.\n\nWeirdly enough, you can also have childrens' parties here? (There was a rowdy one going on in a private room behind our table. The adults looked like they had a good time, and a few drinks.)",
"Pizza and service were amazing. $1.50 Bud drafts during Cards games is also a nice draw. I can not wait to get back to Fortel's.",
"These people are a class act!! I had a benefit for a little boy with cancer last year- and not only did Fortel's donate- but they connected me with other people to assist in the fundraising. The help they gave was unexpected and quite unbelievable. They didn't have to do a thing- but they went out of their way to make a huge difference. These are the type of people I like to give business to! (their fresh pizza toppings are one of the best around- and I love their house dressing).",
"Do you know how happy it makes me for a pizza place to allow substitutions in toppings? Not very many places do that and I'm just not a fan of onions on my pizza. Fortels says, no problem! And lets me have black olives instead. Thanks guys!\n\nNow onto the pizza....I've had one topping and I've had 5. In both instances, the pizza was covered with the toppings, cooked so the crust had a distinct crunch and tasted awesome. The veggie toppings were super fresh.\n\nMy sister and I both ordered a side salad also. The house dressing was really good. My only complaint was the two pieces of lettuce that were obviously browning. 5 stars could have been achieved if the employee had just taken them out.",
"At here on a Saturday night. We had three different pizza's. I had one with everything on it. All three pizza awas a thinner crust and just average. It was crowded, but the guy cleaning tables was also taking rods at the counter. He couldn't keep up. They really need just one person keeping the dining area clean. I had to ask to have my table wiped down from the previous diners. All in all, it's just an average pizza place. Probably look elsewhere the next time I'm here through.",
"I've been a fan of Fortel's for many years and it is disappointing to see so many stores closing and I don't know why. This is my second visit to this location and both times the pizza has been superb. \n\nIt isn't the cheapest pizza around, but you get what you pay for here. The ingredients are fresh and the toppings are plentiful. A lot of times when a pizza place is over zealous with their toppings, they fall short on on being thoroughly cooked. That is not the case here. The meat toppings are generous in size and cooked through. The veggies are evenly distributed and piled high. The crust is very crisp where you can actually scoop up a piece and hold it horizontal as apposed to it bending in half while all the toppings roll off. The pepper jack cheese blend is highly recommended. It isn't too gooey, but adds a nice touch of smooth texture to the mozzarella. \n\nAs for the other menu items, the salads are decent and their fried food is typical. I don't think any of their t-ravs or fried cheese are home made, just shipped in frozen and fried.\n\nFortel's is a great pizzeria for beer and pizza and also kid friendly. I have yet to be disappointed with their pizza and always look forward to going to satisfy a pizza craving.",
"Delicious pizza. Not your everyday STL pizza joint. It's a small chain in the St. Louis area and offers a ton of specialty pies, a great meat lovers, an awesome 4 cheese pizza (always a hit at the office), and my personal favorite the Buffalo chicken pizza. \n\nAll thin crust pizza coming in varied sized from personal, to ginormous. This place is always generous with the topics and their delivery is quick and efficient. \n\nI do believe they charge a small delivery fee for their pizzas but that could just be on certain order sizes.\n\nFortel's is definitely a step away, in a good way, from your regular thin crust STL pizza chains.",
"Some of the best pizza I have ever had. Whenever I'm in town for a Rams game, I make sure to stop at a Fortel's sometime before I head out, and it's been awesome every time.\n\nEveryone I have taken here has said it was great too, so they have to be doing something right!",
"We bought a groupon which was specific to this Fortels. We went there on a Friday afternoon- 1PM or so. We sat in the side room, read the menu first, and then ordered our food. I had been to the Fortels in Fairview Heights, so I expected table service. Well, this Fortels is a do-it-yourself kind of place. Think McDonald's. We waited for our salad and pizza. The salad arrived. The server put the bowl down on the table. We said, \"plates, forks?\" She pointed - \"out there\". I went out and got plates - but no silverware. I asked another employee about silverware- he pointed to another set up area. OK- well- not so much on service. The salad was good- btw it does not come with salad tongs so one has to kinda flip it on to your individual plate. Next, the pizza....it does come with a spatula We ordered a medium - two different varieties. My half- a girl's name- was good. My friend's Hawaiian was ho-hum. Meanwhile- the entire time we were there, the other tables were never cleaned off. We munched through our pizza while watching other people's remnants. Would we go back? Probably not. Would we pay full price for the McD atmosphere- no way. But, that is just my opinion."

"August Moon, while not the best Chinese in New Orleans, is certainly above average and the Vietnamese dishes are great. Super Pho and Gua Cuo. Don't bother dining in, as the delivery guys for this place are not only quick but fun people to meet. Make sure to ask for chopsticks if you want them.",
"I'm sitting at my desk at work currently eating August Moon's tofu spring rolls.\n\nI was so excited at the thought that I forgot to bring my lunch today and would have to walk a few blocks from work to find food. The spring rolls seemed so promising, especially since I adore Vietnamese food so much.\n\nSo it was cheap, like $6 for four decent sized tofu spring rolls, and served quick... but... but... they're sort of.... dry and lacking in something. There is nothing worse than a dry spring roll that tastes like it's been sitting out for a few hours because the rice paper that it's rolled in is already quite chewy, and if not served fresh, can make it REALLY tough and not appetizing. \n\nDon't get me started about the peanut sauce. You know how much I love a good peanut sauce. Their peanut sauce is DARK BROWN, not enough tang, and maybe too much saltiness.\n\nAll in all.... I sort of wish I had just gotten a cup of coffee and a muffin from elsewhere.\n\nWould I go there again? Maybe if I forget my lunch again. Maybe.",
"My friend ordered beef chow mein and a dish came out that resembled fritos chips... nuff said..",
"Inside the decor is spartan, at best.\n\nI ordered the Clay Pot Fish, which sounded awesome. Instead I got about five pieces of fish floating around in a pool of straight oil, served of course in a metal bowl. No chilies or anything else, just oil. I couldn't even get to the minuscule amount of \"sauce\" for it was smothered 'neath the fish oil.\n\nMy friend ordered the pho, which had to be sent back because it was cold. Apparently, we came in near closing time and they had shut the heater off that kept the broth hot. If that sounds delicious to you, this is your place.\n\nThey serve Tsing Tao, and the waitress was friendly. That is what merits the second star.",
"Pros:\n\nFast servce\nWide vareity\nDecent tableware\n\nCons:\nBland, Americanized renditions of Vietnamese food\nBland, bland, bland\n\nI miss really good pho. And spring rolls. I'm guessing the clientele that frequents this place are people who don't like spicy, or spices that would be used in any decent Vietnamese restaurant. Or, they live/work nearby. In either case, I was really sad after my meal, especially because we went to see 'The Blind Side' afterward. Dammit - that's just money lost to mediocre all the way around.",
"Nothing amazing, but LOVE that they'll deliver Pho..... (Not overly expensive.)",
"I ordered the chef special egg fu yong. It was pretty flavorless. My boyfriend got the curry, which was pretty good but nothing to write home about. The price is decent but they really need to review the menu. Also, this place has a large vegetarian list.",
"August Moon is open until 10. They deliver. Their pho is decent. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it was enjoyable.",
"A mix of Chinese and Vietnamese food, but all the workers are Vietnamese. \nThe inside is nice, seems clean, and is comfortable. But there aren't too many vegetarian options for me. \nThe first time I was there I ordered a veg spring roll and they tried to convince me to buy the veg Vietnamese roll instead. I stuck with the spring roll and the one I got had meat in it. They apologized but I had to wait while they made another and didn't get anything else except a \"sorry.\"\nThere are two poker machines, if that's to your liking.\nFor the price and the greasiness I wouldn't go back. All my meat eating friends will go there if they have to, but really it's greasy and just disappointing.",
"I order here when I need a quick fix for Vietnamese food. Granted, it's not the best in town, but it'll do the job when I'm feeling lazy after a long day of work. I always order the pho or the beef and eggrolls on vermicelli noodles. They are pretty skimpy on their food and it's pretty costly considering Vietnamese food is rather inexpensive.\n\nBut hey .. they DELIVER .. that's a plus for me!!"

"We just starting going to Treehouse coffee in Audubon and noticed this place getting ready to open and very happy it was actually worth the wait. We made it on opening day and ended up trying the sliced brisket sandwich along with the mac and cheese. The brisket was tender and plentiful on a brioche bun (which is always worth a star). The mac and cheese was fantastic and as my gf said after her first bite \"We should have gotten more of this\". We really don't find many places with good bread pudding but this place def has the best so far. \n The inside is nice and spacious with rock concert framed posters scattered about (my favorite being a Pink Floyd) and the outside will be great whenever the weather is nice. The people were friendly and seemed genuinely happy to talk to everyone so that's always nice to see. Even though we were eating we were already looking at the to go menu planning our next visit and meal.",
"You need to arrive before they run out of food. I'm not sure if that is a reflection of a start up business minimizing their potential inventory losses, are they cooking off-site, or maybe its part of the concept. Regardless, orders cannot be placed online or over the phone. You have to stand in line and wait, hoping the items you want will be available when you get to the counter. Well, I heard them 86 the brisket while in line so went with a full rack of ribs, pulled pork platter and some wings. The ribs were salty to taste and while not crusty burnt, the outside was completely black. The meat was not very moist but it fell off the bone and a few bites were very good. Overall though, lackluster. At $28 for a full rack, I was looking for a stellar rib experience. The pulled pork was good. Moist, with good portions. The platter came with a piece of cornbread a piece of pickle. I loved the cornbread. It is very moist and flavorful. The pickle spear piece...decent tasting pickle (who really cares I was there for BBQ!) but it was odd that it was approx 1/3 of a pickle. Not whole and definitely not 1/2...just a piece of pickle. The wings are smoked and very small. They were OK, nothing special. My son loved the Mac and Cheese. At $2.50 for a small cup it pricey. But he is a Mac and Cheese snob and raved on theirs. The SAUCE...there were 4 flavors at the To-Go station: House, Mustard, Vinegar and Espresso. I sampled them while waiting and went with House and the Espresso. The Espresso has a nice flavor but can only be used in small doses. The House BBQ sauce. The cornerstone of any good BBQ. One of the charecteristics that define a BBQ chef. An item that has the potential to stand on it's own and become a product unto itself...it kind of stunk. It has a hint of taco seasoning flavor to it. I know that sounds nuts but I had my neighbor blind taste and he referenced tacos as well! Maybe its paprika. IDK.\n\nWith the line as long as it was, and them having sold out previous nights, it is clear that good BBQ is needed in this part of South Jersey. I'd try it again, looking for some brisket. Hopefully these are just growing pains as they opened less than a week ago. Time will tell if Smoke BBQ can become a BBQ staple in the area.",
"So glad to see a new restaurant open in the area. Had the pulled pork sandwich and ribs. Both were amazing. The service was super friendly and the portions were way bigger than I expected.\n\nMy 10-year-old son told me this is his favorite place to eat now. Apparently, he really enjoyed the wings. \n\nWe will definitely be back.",
"Drove by this place about a week before they opened. My eye was caught by the beautiful color scheme as well as the great outdoor seating area. Made it for their opening day and it was amazing! I had the pulled pork sammy with a side of mac and cheese. The pork was full of flavor and super moist. I also went back a week later....haha, and got the pulled pork again but in the \"platter\" form. Platter came with a good amount of meat as well as a piece of cornbread. Literally every BBQ place I've gone to in this area claims to have \"the best cornbread\" and I am always super disappointed with the dry as sandpaper piece of cornbread. FINALLY a place that lives up to having THE BEST cornbread! I could probably just order like 6 pieces for my dinner and be happy as a clam. \n\nThe staff is super nice here and helpful. Prices here are really great for the quality and quantity of the food. I read an article somewhere that this place is all about fresh food and doesn't even own a freezer. So with that comes times that they may be out of a certain thing at a later point in the day. I would much rather it this way then to have something frozen or not at its best quality. So if they run out of something don't run to yelp to whine about it : } Just Saying.\n\nGive this great local place a try you won't regret it. Actually you will, because you will be craving it all of the time!",
"I don't eat slow-n-low BBQ often and I am not a subject matter expert. For reference, my occasional BBQ jaunt is to Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse in Philly. Please take my review with a grain of salt. Overall, 3.75 stars\n\nParking: You can park on the lot medium next to the train tracks. Or, you can park on the street.\n\nAtmosphere: Relaxing and colorful, I like the classic rock/jam-band posters on the wall.\n\nAlcohol: BYOB\n\nFood: \n\n*1/2 rack of ribs - Was good, fall-off-the-bone.\n* Brisket (sliced) - Flavorful but a little dry. Perhaps I will try the chopped brisket next time to see if it has a little more fattiness goodness. \n Sauces: House, Vinegar, Mustard, and ____? (can't remember). They were okay, I think I liked the mustard the best if memory serves me. \n* Mac and Cheese - Good but not my favorite, my wife loved it.\n* Brussels Sprouts & Bacon - Very good but it was a little on the sweet side (golden raisins?) and I didn't visibly see/taste any bacon. I would of preferred more of a vinegar'ish kick than sweet.\n* Cornbread - Fantastic! \n* Bread Pudding - Very good\n\nPricing: Reasonable but I felt that the side dish portions ($2.50 a piece) were skimpy. (served in these very small cups). I would of payed more. Though, in reality (overall), I felt that you get more bang for your buck at Sweet Lucy's (especially with the combo platters)\n\nCustomer Service: The owner is great, very friendly with a vibe of southern hospitality.\n\nI liked this BBQ joint enough that I would return if I had a hankering for some Q. The Red White & Brew Company brewery is projected to open next year (across from this restaurant), I can see them complimenting each other quite nicely.",
"So I really want to like Smoke. Its a local place that's just starting out so I will revisit my review in about a month.. probably. I should give a 2 star but they deserve a chance...\n\nSo smoke is primarily a takeout place or so I guess. They do have tables but it is cafeteria style and you take a number to the table. Ordering is kind of painful as there is one guy at the counter with an iPad taking orders and truth be told after 3 attempts he still got it wrong.. as i said this is new and is run by folks who are trying to figure out how to run a restaurant so they get a pass for their first week. \n\nThe food..... hmmm its BBQ and not bad but needs some polish on it. I had the problem that they were out of ribs and also ran out of brisket and was only able to order 1 plate. The brisket was both fatty and dry which was odd, the chicken was a bit over smoked and tasted like it sat under a heat lamp. The pulled pork was ok other but other than smoke it lacked any punch and the sausages were only ok at best. The unfortunate theme here was salt. A lot of salt... a whole lot of salt. My advice is salt is not a spice its a flavor enhancer not a flavor unto itself. Easy fix.. go light on the salt as it can always be added later.\n\nThe sides are pricey at $2.50 for a small dixie cup and are just ok. \n\nThe cornbread was good but a very small piece along with a small chunk of pickle...\n\nLike I said I really want this place to work out and I will try to give them a second chance. I hope they take advice from the customers willing to give honest reviews.\n\nI do a lot of smoking an have multiple types of smokers I use so this is only my opinion as an amateur pit master. I say give them a try and come to your own conclusion.",
"Okay, let me began by saying I found this place by driving on merchant st. I decided to stop in check it out..smoke ribs.. To my delight \nI was not disappointed. The ribs are juicy,tender and tasteful even without sauce.. The Mac and cheese, beans and brussels sprouts are all DELICIOUS.. The beef brisket..oh tender!! The bread puddin just enough sweetness to end the meal.. Please treat yourself to a woundful meal..Please...",
"Great local BBQ. Everything was excellent. Brisket is a must try, staff was great, food came out quick. Also had the mac and cheese side was good. We will be back.",
"Portions smaller than expected but the brisket is AMAZING. And the owner is the nicest gentleman I've ever met.",
"Terrific bbq in the great NE area of southern jersey. The pork was tender and had a great flavor. The bbq beans had food chunks of meat in them but a different flavor than I'm used to. The brisket chili was decent with flavor but needed to be more hot in temperature."

"I like thier Cheesesteaks, but thats about it. Sometimes the pizza is ok, but it is a gamble. \n\nTo be honest the worst part about Aldo's is they dont care about thier customers. Its one of those places where all you see is smiles, but the second you turn around they are laughing at you. The only reason they are still open is because they are the only place that is close. \n\nI really hope they do turn the business around, but I am not holding my breath.",
"I consider myself a connoisseur of pizza having traveled far and wide looking for the best pizzeria. How funny that one of the best places is within walking distance of my house! It's true, Aldo's has one of the greatest pizzas I have ever tasted. It's the Brooklyn-Style square pizza. It has a plum tomato sauce and mozzarella. Oh my gosh it is addictive. They also make a mean Stromboli Combo! This is basically a pizza with everything folded over on itself: Sausage, Mushrooms, Peppers, Pepperoni! Amazing!",
"My favorite Italian restaurant in the entire Philadelphia area..with delicious warm home-baked bread and gratuitous appetizer, delicious red sauce for pasta dishes, excellent pricing on all entrees, and outstanding veal dishes (the Veal Sorrento is my perennial favorite!).\nA surpising find disguised behind a pizza parlor!",
"We often order take-out, but haven't dined in. Very good pizza (chicken parm pizza is awesome, sicilian is fantastic), great sandwiches and alright salads too. The sides are great - poppers, bruschetta, breaded zucchini. After getting 15 large pizzas, you get one large, plain free. I don't know. Seems kind of stingy when we're paying $15+ for large pizzas with toppings, then they cross out the coupon for number #15, so it doesn't count towards your next 15. Definitely a tad overpriced, but really, really delicious.",
"Update: We recently dined in and were impressed. I can't believe that it's taken us 3+ years living in the area to do so. Really enjoyed the fresh bread and herbed olive oil- nice touch. We will be back.",
"You wouldn't expect such a nice dining area in a shopping center pizza shop.. I really enjoy a sit down dinner here. Quiet, pleasant atmosphere, generous portions and delicious food ! \n\nCouldn't give a 5 star review though because I have found pizza shop staff and hostesses to be consistently \"snotty\" and often uninterested to serve. Sorry ladies!",
"Much more than pizza...a great Italian restaurant/byob. Never disappointed.",
"I've been going to Aldos since I was about 5 years old (and it was called All Star Pizza!). It's my favorite Italian place in Bucks County. The food has never let me down and the people there are always friendly. They have pizza and cheesesteaks and sandwiches available. Their pizza is consistently good. I used to never order their chicken cheesesteaks because it had big chunks of chicken instead of shredded chicken, but they have changed this and now their chicken cheesesteaks are my favorite. They have a casual pizza cafe as well as a fancy dining room. They offer everything from pizza and cheesesteaks to full entrees that are amazing. One of my favories is the Sachetti pasta - little pockets of pasta and cheese in a white sauce with crab meat, scallops and shrimp. Their chicken sorrento, ziti vidka, and chicken marsala are also delicious.\n\nMy family has also done some catered events, both in the restaurant and at home using Aldos food. Ask for their catering menu - it's wonderful for big occasions.",
"I feel like Aldo's has been around for as long as I've been alive. I grew up with this restaurant being the classic pizza joint in the neighborhood. I had many High School lunches with my friends here, so this place holds a special place in my heart.\n\nPizza Hut recently opened in Summit Square, so you could probably get cheaper pizza from there. However Aldo's is less commercial with a bit more Italian lovin'.",
"One of the best places in the region for an authentic Italian meal that is actually better than Mom use to make. If you want a good quality meal this is the place to go."

"Sunrise gets 5 stars in my book because of the delicious food and the reasonable prices. We ate here for lunch here recently and were very pleased. I had the combination plate (which was pricier, but I wanted to try a sampling of their goods). The Falafel, hummus, babaganoush, tabouleh, dolmas and pita were great (especially considering that this is Tucson). Also on the platter was a new item I had not tried before, Kuba, which is a Kurdish rice ball stuffed with ground beef, rasins, spices, etc. and then deep fried. It was delicious. Another plus for Sunrise is that they offer vegetarian versions of their mainstays (for example, the combo platter came as a veggie option). I know I'll be back!",
"I stopped in at Sunrise Cafe this morning, went to the counter, and ordered coffee and a bagel. I was told it would be \"just a minute\" while they toasted the bagel. I stood and waited there while the counter person kept telling it would only be \"just a couple minutes more\". After what seemed forever, one of the kitchen personnel walked out. I politely excused myself for interrupting her, but said that I had waited almost half an hour for a toasted bagel. She replied that they were busy. I said that I could understand that, but that it should not take thirty minutes to toast a bagel. Instead of going intro the kitchen to check on my order, she went to the cash register, pulled out the tape, and told me that I had ordered at 9:12 and had only been waiting ten minutes! Since it was past 9:30, I suggested to her that her math was wrong. She replied that I should feel free not to return, walked into the kitchen and returned with the wrapped bagel. The delay was annoying, but her rudeness was unacceptable. I will never go back there.",
"Stopped in and had a nice Gyro. The help was friendly, you can taste the espresso in the iced mocha and they make their bakalava. I took some to go and haven't had it yet. Lots of egg combinations for breakfast were offered.",
"Excellent, locally-owned Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern restaurant. The food is at least as good as Ali-Baba's, the local favorite that's more centrally located. A bit pricey, but not unreasonable for the zip code. Very comfortable atmosphere. Even if you just want a coffee to go, a good alternative to the nearby Starbutts.",
"BEST Gyro in town. Hands down. Breakfast is GREAT as well. Be sure to try the southern style potatoes. BOOM goes the dynamite.",
"Coffee was decent not great but decent.\nI made it easy to please all I wanted was a greek salad...terrible. I was really let down by this place.\nMy friend had a larger salad and it was bland as well. The prices don't match the experience what so ever.\nI would say that this is not worth going to. Unfortunately I was expecting more.",
"I took my wife and kids here, and I ordered a meal with hummus substituted for another item. The waitress brought my order out without the substitution, saying her boss instructed her to do this.\n\nWell, if she'd informed me at the time I'd ordered, I could have chosen something else. But to tell me after the food arrived, with my family ready to eat after a long wait, what was I supposed to do?\n\nAlso significantly better Mediterranean food in town (e.g., Zayna).\n\nHaven't been back.",
"The food here is so-so, but unfortunately the prices here are so high, that I won't give it another try.",
"I had brunch here with a friend after my morning run at Sabino Canyon. I think I was so hungry I would have eaten the tablecloth. She had a nice little breakfast plate and I ordered a salad. It was almost 11am but I am pretty sure my gyro chicken on my salad was just reheated in the microwave from the day before. If I'm going to eat Greek food, I think I am going to stick to \"My Big Fat Greek Restaurants.\"",
"I was severely disappointed by this restaurant. I had a breakfast gyro, my fiance had an omelette. Both were very bland and overpriced. It's not worth it to go here again."

"Essene has most likely suffered a bit from having a Whole Foods within a six block vincinity. It's hard for the little guys to compete with the prices a national chain with its own products can offer. Their produce is a wee bit overpriced and there isn't a whole lot to choose from. But they do have some things that Whole Foods don't, particularly odd root vegetables that are key to macrobiotic cooking. Their pastries are really good and seemingly healthier than the oil-filled ones at Whole Foods.\n\nThey also have an eat-in food bar which has more selection and many more veggie/vegan options than Whole Foods. It's also more comfy. What saddens me is that they haven't had Virgil's Root Beer there for a couple months. That stuff is SO GOOD. They do, however, have these delicious soy dream 'ice cream' bars and little pies that I treat myself to once in a blue moon. All in all, I''d probably rather spend my hard earned cash at Essene, but I'd walk away with significantly fewer groceries. Isn't that how it goes in this age of corporate globalization?",
"I know I'm gonna' get yelled at for this, but I am not a fan. The groceries are all well and good (although I prefer the selection at Whole Foods), but the hot food was totally bland. I grew up on health food, but there is a way to make it tasty. Not even the chocolate chip cookies had taste factor!\n\nIf you are anti-corporate and a health nut, it's too bad there aren't more options than Essene and Whole Foods.",
"It's great to support the little guy sometimes, and this is the perfect place to do it in. This is a natural foods market that offers a Lot of the same things whole foods does - only it has a better hot/salad bar, vitamin section, lunch selection, and tea aisle. A lot of the things can be a little more expensive, but you can also score some good buys.Just don't go here if your looking for meat and seafood because it's a total vegetarian selection. But you won't be able to top things like their New York \"Beef\" sandwich, even if it is seitan. They do have some cheeses, but only kinds that don't have certain animal enzymes - so you find Parmesan Reggiano and some other staples.",
"I always try to support local businesses when I can, so I shop at Essene whenever possible. They have a nice selection of organic and natural products, some of which are hard to find elsewhere. Plus they have a very very small selection of meat/cheese, so I feel less nauseated shopping there.",
"The thing is... I LOVE you, Essene. Really, I do. But, ya see, you are REALLY hard on my bank account. Every single time I come through your doors I am bombarded with yummy organic and all-natural food that I just want to gobble up right there in the store and the curl up and take a nap on your floor --- most likely by your hot bar --- only to wake up a few hours later and do it all over again. But you see, Essene, if I do this I really WILL have to live in you because I won't be able to afford the rent for my own apartment. Sigh...",
"Given the choice, I'll take a cheeseburger and fries over seitan and soy any day, but despite this fact, I have a soft spot for health food stores. Maybe because it reminds me of my days as a vegetarian, Grateful Dead-loving, pachouli-wearing hippie. Perhaps it gives me hope that I can change my ways and learn to love the greens again. Or maybe I just inhaled one too many times. Whatever the reason, and ignoring the fact that I don't cook (thank you for feeding me, husband), I can still be convinced to pay $5 for a bag of natural cookies or $4 for a bottle of juice because they're healthy. \n\nI echo the sentiments of the other reviewers that it's expensive to shop here, and I particularly like Nate F's thoughts on socioeconomics and the availability of natural food. I go out of my way to support small businesses and applaud Essene's presence in the neighborhood. But what's with the crazy selection of bottled water? Seriously, there were like 20 different types to choose from. Not exactly the most environmentally friendly products to stock up on (unless there is a zombie epidemic - then that Poland Spring I bought two years ago will really come in handy). And the staff needs to lighten up a bit - it won't kill you guys to crack a smile. I promise it won't hurt your hardcore healthy street cred to be friendlier. Maybe they just need a hug (or a nice, juicy steak)?",
"The soups in the cafe are delicious. That said, the rest of the store is overpriced. I agree with the other reviews that say they are prohibitive. Many of the products can be found at Trader Joe's for much less. The stuff that you can't find at Trader Joe's are unique items that should not be only for those with lots of disposable income. $10 for a takeout lunch from the refrigerator section is ridiculous. \n\nBut they do have a nice selection of fresh, quality foods.",
"I have been trying very hard to live healthily, ecologically, sustainably, and all that other good, earthy stuff. But I definitely tow the line - I still can't resist a shiny, chemically-treated apple or pass up an economy-sized package of toilet paper. So the market part of Essene is not really for me, I'm much more of a Whole Foods girl. But the WF salad bar has truly been disappointing me - it sort of reminds me of day camp when they used to mix up all the leftovers with some vinegar and call it pasta salad. So as a non-vegetarian it is a huge compliment for me to say that the food bar at Essene rocks my world. I wouldn't know seitan from tempeh, but truthfully, the way they deliciously doctor it up I wouldn't know it from beef either. I pretty much licked clean a plate of veggies and tofu and the only thing I had beef with was the price. But apparently such is the status quo of healthy living these days...hopefully the eco-movement and an economy push will make places like Essene more accessable. Until then, my trips to the hot bar will be a cherished treat.",
"Someone crazily referred to Essene as the Vegan Death Star, and I have to say that I now find myself coining the term more than once a day now!\n\nPound for pound and dollar for dollar Essene has a better selection of vegan and vegetarian ingredients than the Whole Foods a few blocks away on South Street...in my opinion that is. For the hell of it I stroll through the aisles when picking up some fruit or a lunchtime snack and I find a completely different selection of \"substitution\" products, cereals and I even discovered a new addition of vegan scrapple! \n\nTheir vegetable and fruit selection is a fraction the size of the larger marts but as far as I could see all of their produce is organic and a lot of products are local as well.\n\nSo why don't I shop there more? Like many others I find that Essene's prices are a little too high on some of the items I frequently purchase, so I find myself heading back towards South Street where I can save a few more dollars. I have to say, though, that their lunchtime selection at the salad bar has more of a variety compared to Whole Foods, but be cautious, it's all meat free.\n\nP.S. - Essene also offers a nice little assortment of eco-friendly footwear and a cosmetic and vitamin selection you sometimes can't find anywhere else.",
"when i worked at pearl i loved coming here for the hot bar. i was pregnant at the time, and the lovely smells emanating from said bar were more than comforting...\n\nactually, they were some of the few smells that didn't turn my stomach at the time.\n\nwhen i get all misty and nostalgic, i just bring the fry down so he can pick out a cookie and we can chow down on some veg enchiladas.\n\nreally, it probably deserves 4 stars due to the friendly staff, the great food, and the wonderful drugstore section. that last star had to go down, though, as the price point is crazy high here.\n\nhail seitan!"

"Great, fresh food with nice servers and a definite eye for good ingredients. We also spoke with the owner of the restaurant and he's very professional and attentive. All in all a wonderful experience!",
"Mi Tenampa just reopened under new ownership and with a whole new menu. We live nearby so we thought we would try it out. We were blown away by how good everything was. Best steak I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant.\nThe portions were huge, the wait staff was very courteous, and best of all, the prices were very reasonable.\nThe menus were a little limited, but they said that they were working on getting new ones in soon.\nIf you love great Mexican food, you should definitely try Mi Tenampa!!!!",
"The food offerings are similar to other Mexican Restaurants in town. But they do have some very different foods on the menu. Such as Pureed Papas. These are similar to mashed potatoes with Mexican Cheese. Very Good I must add. Potatoes are a big food in Mexico so why not here. The flan is to die for. Wait Staff are very courteous and efficient and helpful. The fajitas are great. See the Valentine's Day 2012 Promo Picture that I uploaded to get an idea what they look like and a look at the interior of the restaurant. It is beautiful. Good bar variety. Everything is FRESH.\nJRS",
"We have been looking for a great Mexican restaurant that isn't a taquiera. It seems that the food at all of the Mexican restaurants now tastes the same... boring. Mi Tenampa's food has flavor! The beans taste like beans not paste, The pappas (potatoes) are to die for. Even the ground beef in the enchiladas has flavor. Both my husband and I were very impressed. The service was fantastic . We will definitely be returning! I can't wait to try the tamales!",
"This place is a gem. Great, friendly service and delicious food. We've been several times and we are always impressed with the presentation. They have a lot of variety on the menu. Great prices and a nice, clean place. Fresh ingredients. The kids enjoyed it too!",
"One of the Best Mexican Restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of dining at...and I've tried many in various states! WONDERFUL food, Good atmosphere and service! A++",
"This restaurant has a nice atmosphere. I went there on a Wednesday evening after work and it was quiet enough to hear my friend across the table. They did give him a chicken taco instead of the beef that he asked for, but it was still good. My chili relent was delicious!",
"Yes. Yes. Yes. Finally a Mexican restaurant that veers away from what we know as the norm. Yeah, they offer some of the same dishes as the rest, but they definitely make and season their food WAY differently. Their rice was seasoned so well and super delicious. They have these creamy & cheesy potatoes that those alone set this restaurant so far apart from the rest. The service was great and timely. Very yummy and unique indeed! Go try!",
"The most amazing nachos, salsa, and cheese dip ever!! All the food looks good and the prices aren't horrible",
"The decor inside was refreshingly not your standard strip mall Mexican place that is so brightly colored. There are cool stone arches surrounding the inner seating area which has a beautiful water fountain in the center. \n\nEverything was delicious. We had the three enchiladas with one each of shredded chicken, shredded beef and guacamole. Each one had its own sauce which very well complimented them. The interesting side dishes were amazing - pappas (mashed potatoes with delicious seasoning, and spinach in a light cream sauce. These sides are a must try. \n\nService was excellent and helpful. I could tell the kitchen staff takes pride in the food, as it was well presented and delicious. The prices were incredibly reasonable. \n\nWe will be heading back to Mi Tenampa to try more of the dishes."

"There's this new Turkish restaurant downtown by the Healy-Ford Motors, at 104 Ave. and 106 St. It's quite large, with a cozy, cheerful feel, hardwood-floors and wonderful smells wafting from their open-air kitchen. They sell grilled meats and veggies, delicious dips with homemade pita bread and lots of syrupy sweet baklava, in case you have any room left over for dessert. The main dishes go for between $16 and $20. \n\nThe grilled chicken kebabs are excellent and come in huge portions that two people could really share. The chicken was high-quality breast meat, not cheap, gristly bits, like I've gotten before in some Lebanese and Greek restaurants. The shrimp casserole is also very good, served with a salad and risoto with a tomato base. For appies, the pizza and garlicy yogurt dip will wet your appetite well. I heard the pizza's excellent, though haven't yet tasted it. You can expect to spent $50 here + drinks.",
"I didn't think Sofra would have nice decor but it surprised me.\n\nThe food was tasty and enjoyable, not much more you can ask for I guess. The service was good but the the food took a little bit longer than it should have I thought. Their kabobs are very good!\n\nIt's a great place to check out when you are looking for something new.",
"This was my first experience with Turkish food, and man was it tasty. I was lucky enough to be there with a large group which meant we were able to order several dishes to share. The dips were incredibly flavorful, particularly the walnut pepper dip. I'd also suggest trying the pizzas, and the chicken kabobs were awesome. Make sure you make a reservation though. I had tried to drop in without a reservation twice before and wasn't able to get a seat.",
"Don't judge a restaurant from the outside. The outside of Sofra is very bland, and certainly disguises the wonderful interior. I love the little Trojan horse that's just inside the door (it's big, but \"little\" compared to the size of the original).\n\nI've been coming here for years, and the good has always been great. The kabobs are awesome (I usually alternate between the chicken and spicy beef), and come with nice sides of Bulgar and vegetables. The pita bread is absolutely amazing, and is made fresh when you place an order - it's a great appetizer (I recommend the red pepper sauce, or the hummus). There's a meal for two people that's great to get if you haven't been to the restaurant before, as you get to sample a few of the dishes.\n\nLast night we took 6 other couples to Sofra (8 of us total) - we lucked out as a group of 8 had canceled earlier in the day (reservations on the weekend nights should be made 4-7 days in advance). The other couples absolutely loved their meals, and said they'd definitely be back again.\n\nI knocked one star off because I feel the prices of some things are a bit expensive. Their baklava, which is absolutely delicious, sells for $8, and you get 4 small pieces. Yes, I ordered it every time I go, but it's still priced higher than it should be. I'd budget about $35-50 a person depending on whether you get alcohol and dessert.",
"I ate here a couple years ago and the food was quite good and the service standard. \nLast year we tried to go here with a friend and her children. There was no one in the restaurant and when we arrived the lady said they were fully booked and that they could not fit us in. She was quite abrupt and not very friendly. We were surprised since it was empty aside from maybe one or two customers. So we called when we got to our car to see if we could come in then and the lady on the phone said it was no problem because they weren't busy. Yet we had just been turned away a couple minutes ago. So obviously they are not kid friendly at this restaurant. I would not return here simply for this reason. The food may be ok but the service and staff are not.",
"Some of the tastiest food you will ever eat. Similar to Greek fare, all dishes are unbelievably flavorful. Go as a group and order a bunch of appetizers to share. Just be sure you make a reservation. There's never an empty table.",
"We went there tonight. Not a lot of selections of wine by the glass and a nice limited food menu with some interesting selections which I like as opposed to a large menu of a lot of things that the chef can't accurately cook. \n\nWe had the three dip bread and I really liked the (heavy on the tahini) hummus. My friends liked the cheese dip and the pepper dip but I thought they were mediocre. It comes with thin bread as opposed to pita so you don't fill up on bread. I was confused as to whether the bread was supposed to be soft or crispy because it was a combination of both.\n\nThe table really liked their meat dishes (meatballs and chicken). My tuna dish was pretty good but I thought it was a bit over cooked. Each plate comes with grilled veggies which were good and some Bulgar which I thought was tasteless and gave to my husband to finish.\n\nThe service was friendly but they could have made more money off us by being more attentive. \n\nOverall, fairly good but I thought it was pricy for what you get.",
"I really like Sofra. My last visit there was exceptional. My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary. We ordered the Sultan's four-course meal for two. It was incredible and a great way to sample the menu if you're not familiar with Turkish fare. It started with stuffed grape leaves, a duo of dips with Sofra's delicious handmade pita bread, then a platter of meats, bulgar and fresh greens. The dessert is perhaps the most amazing Baklava I've tried, and it was the perfect finish to the meal. \n\nThe chef and owner of Sofra is Turkish and went back to his homeland to be trained as a chef. The food is always perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. If you go, be sure to try their pita and dips, washed down with a Turkish beer. Incredible.\n\nI've always had great service, and the restaurant is unique and cozy. I highly recommend Sofra.",
"Heard a lot of good things about Sofra and glad I finally decided to try it! It may look pretty simple on the exterior, which makes the interior look quite unexpected. Burnt orange walls and dim lights everywhere, it's rustic and earthy inside. There's a big stone horse sculpture on a ledge in the centre of the restaurant, no doubt the masterpiece of the place, that resembles the legendary Trojan horse.\n\nBut enough of ambiance and decor, and onto the food! I had the shrimp casserole which was delicious. Large prawns cooked with all kinds of veggies -- tomatoes, squash, mushroom, peppers -- sitting in a slightly spicy sauce/broth, and all covered with mmm mmm melted cheese on top! Highly recommended. My friend had the chicken skewers which were really moist and tender, grilled to perfection. All entrees come with salad and rice pilaf.\n\nService was courteous and friendly, our waitress came by to check up on us often. They also didn't kick us out when we decided to linger a little longer to chat. A great dining experience at Sofra and I would definitely go back!",
"Since this was my first experience with Turkish food I don't have anything to compare it to. The lentil soup was fantastic. The freshly made baklava was amazing. I had a spiced beef kabob which I can't remember the name of which again was really good. They also have a kind of pizza/ meat pie pastry?. That was excellent as well and very filling. Parking out front is limited and the name on the front of the business is hard to see while driving by. They open at 5pm so they don't have lunch service. Worth going back to."

"Under siege by hunger? Super Wok is here to save the day, with quick, tasty, inexpensive meals.\n\nAt a glance, Super Wok is like any other Chinese fast food take out joint. Upon closer examination, anyone can see that's not true.\n\nKevin - our staffer, chef, and cashier - brought us spicy hot oil and all our orders in a flash. Their lunch specials are a steal and all priced cheap. (Cheap or not, credit cards are accepted.) Specials come with your choice of white or pork fried rice. Don't want take out? Stay to eat. We did, and I inhaled their (tender) beef and (well-seasoned) green beans for a mere $4.95. If you don't like stringbeans, get their General Tso's, and don't forget a bowl of hot and sour soup while you're at it.",
"Hands down the best quick, cheap, delicious Chinese take-out in the area...just no competition anywhere within miles. Small area to sit and eat, so not strictly take-out, but a quick phone call to Super Wok and soon you are eating just made dumplings, egg rolls, Orange Chicken, S&S Pork/Chicken, General Tso's...all of it amazingly good. Lunch time specials means you can get out of there with a huge combo for only $5.95 ('til 3:30!). Even the fried rice is moist, with fresh peas (no shriveled balls of green), scallians, carrots, onions...been searching for years for 'the take-out' place for Chinese - found it at Super Wok!",
"I would agree with my fellow reviewers that Super Wok is most definately the best Chinese take-out in the area. I would disagree, however, about it's overall quality. While it's certainly okay, I would argue that it's far from great Chinese food.\n\nThe staff is very friendly and accomodating and the prices are good and cheap. The portions are also quite large. However, the food is really just okay... I would be hard pressed to call it anymore than that. I've had numerous dishes from Super Wok and they all taste pretty much the same. It's pretty standard quality fare from a Chinese take-out place with these kind of prices, although it is a cut above it's local competition.\n\nAgain, don't get me wrong... the food isn't bad, far from it, but there are most definately better Chinese places. But they're not in Norristown, that's for sure, and you're going to pay higher prices.\n\nAll in all, you definately get more than you pay for at Super Wok... but not much more. But if you're in Norristown and you want some Chinese, there is really no other legitimate option.",
"Good food. Certainly better than some of the other Chinese food in the area. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. My food was ready on time and the price was quite reasonable. I'll be making Super Wok my go-to restaurant for Chinese take-out.",
"The best General Tso Chicken is here at super wok! Consistently good, generous portions and their lunch combo is very reasonable. The only downside is there's not much in the way of ambience if you want to eat there. I order their General Tso a few times a month, it's that good. Enjoy!",
"The best General Tso chicken is here at super wok! Consistently good, generous portions and their lunch combo is very reasonable. The only downside is there's not much in the way of ambiance if you want to eat there. I order their General Tso a few times a month, it's that good. Also my wife & I love their sesame chicken, and cashew chicken. Very nice people run the place.\nEgg rolls are yummy too. Enjoy!",
"Many trips later and the food from Super Wok is consistently good. I'm still working my way through the menu, but so far everything is really good and very fresh tasting. Egg rolls and dumplings are some of the best around.\n\nOne thing that I have a hard time getting used to is that when I order on the phone they don't ask for a name or give you a number. My orders are always fast and right on, so it's really not an issue, just makes me uncomfortable. Ha!",
"I always prefer to order from here when I am hungry for Chinese. They use a variety of veggies which seem fresh (not from a can like most of the other places) and they're friendly and reasonably quick. Everything I have had from here has been very good. \n\nThe ambiance leaves quite a bit to be desired, but who's eating there anyway? The only improvement they could make is to add delivery as a service!",
"I am very pleased with their food. The portions are huge and my wife and I always split their special combo meal. Recently, I tried the teriyaki chicken and it is amazingly good.",
"My favorite Chinese restaurant by far. I have at least 6 other Chinese places that are closer but the extra time is worth it for their food. Eggplant with garlic sauce, Shrimp with garlic sauce and beef with string beans are favs. Friends love their spare ribs and general tso's too. I'm usually disappointed where I order schezwan chicken anywhere, but Super Wok's is the best I've found in a long time solid 4 out of 5 (I do skip the peppers though). You can see everything they're making and their staff is always busy but. Their teriyaki chicken looks great but haven't tried it yet. Chinese food is usually the same bland Americanized greasy food. But Super Wok has good flavor, tons of veggies and always seems fresh. If you're fans of Chinese but haven't found anything special, you should really give this place a try."

"mmmm... what a fantastic dirty little place in the Bywater this is!\nOne of the best po' boys you can get in NOLA. You walk in to this tiny little store and patiently wait at the counter till someone finally notices you and tears themselves away from making some random delicious sandwich for a local laborer, and you better know what you want. I recommend getting either the fried oyster or the salami and turkey... fully dressed, or perhaps the muffuletta. You can pick your beverage from the cooler behind you and maybe a Hubig's Pie for afterwards.\nThe outside is nicely plastered with brightly colored paint and humorous signs warning loiterers. \nAfter you get your sandwich I suggest you go plop yourself down on the stoop of a nearby building and enjoy.",
"Can't go wrong with Frady's po-boys. Then hang out on the corner with a beer.",
"I get cravings for Frady's cheese po-boy. I've been trying meatless/fishless po-boy options around town, and so far this is my favorite. My only beef is that no matter how what words I use to ask for them to go light on the mayo, I end up with gobs. They also tend to go overboard with the cheese, and sometimes I just take a little off, but it's worth it for the best cheese po-boy I've found for around $7 and big enough to share. They also have some hot food in the counter that all looks great, like lasagna, meatloaf, sweet potatoes, bread pudding, beans. I've had the bread pudding, which is great.",
"Old school new orleans, best oyster po-boys in town (besides maybe Crabby Jack's, but I don't know). This place doesn't have to try hard to be cool, because it just is.",
"Sitting here with Kirk Frady and friends on the boardwalk during French Quarter Festival talking about these reviews and decided final to write mine. Found this wonderful corner store by accident one morning garage saling 2 years ago and stopped in for some breakfast. Ordered 1/4 muffalata, swallowed it and turned around and bought a whole one for supper. Since then I have tried numerous items and have found all of them to be wonderful. The atmosphere is also so great, it makes you feel like family. Do not miss this opportunity to try a slice of New Orleans that has been there since 1941!!!!!",
"Gritty, and old school. Very, very old school. It's been there forever. Love their po-boys. I just finished a hot sausage po-boy, dressed, and added melted provolone, to go. The best 7 bucks I've spent in a while. The woman behind the counter talked to me like she was my momma as she made it. This poboy had the perfect amount of hot sausage, at the right temperature, melted provolone, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo- dressed with care, and the french bread was slightly soft and chewy, the way i like it. While I was there, I picked up a couple dry goods for the house and walked my happy ass home. I think it tasted even better since I live around the corner.",
"I am writing this reluctantly for fear that if enough people find out about this place it will become too 'on the radar' and lose its charm. \n\nI knew I was in for a treat after I placed my order and a cab driver pulled up and asked the man behind the counter \"Does y'all got the ersters taday? Gimme da half loaf erster dressed all da way.\" Then another woman walks in off the street and asks the girl behind the counter...\"Dawlin' hand me a piece a dat napkin.\" A true local joint. The shrimp and oyster poboys are the best I have ever had in this great city known for its poboys. Finish it off with a Hubigs pie and you are good.",
"I'm with Tom M....I almost but not quite, did not want to review this joint because then they will get waaay famous and trendy and NOLA will lose a true treasure; however, they deserve to be recognized.\n\nWe were going to hit the couple of thrift stores right across the street and realized that we had not yet had breakfast...in this case a very early lunch so when we saw this place, we knew we HAD TO STOP.\n\nWe were visiting from San Diego and natives of SD at that, but we got nothing like this in our neck of the woods. The closest we got was TJ when I was a little girl and my grandma had little mini stores like this on her street. \n\nThere were two very interesting ladies working the day we stopped...Miss Cassie and Cricket...unique pair the both of them but their friendliness and customer service was out of bounds.\n\nWe asked Cricket what she suggested since it was our first time and she said to def try the Po'Boys. My husband had the Hard Salami and other deli meats and I had the Roast Beef w/gravy. The bread on both sandwiches was amazing, they were only $7 each for foot long Big Foot sandwiches and the side of mac and cheese we ordered brought tears to my eyes, I kid you not.\nMy husband's sandwich could've held it's own in any fancy deli but my roast beef was amazing. It wasn't sliced roast beef like I thought it would be...it was a gravy, roast beef concoction that had lettuce, tomato and mayo I think. and dammit, it all worked!!\n\nNow then, although across the street there are a couple of trendy little joints, but don't go there. Go to Frady's which is straight out of the hood, 1969, deep South style. Try to use the bathroom before you go though because if you have to use theirs as I did (and I was desperate) it may scar you for life. :o/\n\nThe little store/restaurant is littered with folk art of all kinds, family pictures, lots of cold drinks and the requisite 40's that you can find everywhere in NOLA. A really nice guy stopped to chit chat with us as we sat outside, after he ordered his lunch. After our brief conversation, he picked up his 40 in a paper bag and headed off to his car, to eat, drink and drive...WOW!\n\nThis place freakin rocked it and was one of the highlights of our vacay!!",
"I just finished my first Frady's po'boy after living in the neighborhood for a few years. This corner-store is a total fixture, decked out with Dr. Bob and other folky art signs. I must say, I was totally disappointed. We split a catfish and a shrimp each and they were possibly the worst I've had in the city. At $10.50 for a 10\", that's kind of unforgivable (Shit, that's more expensive than Quarter-staple Verti Marte!). They were all bread, with the catfish only boasting two small tenders and a boatload of mayonnaise. I love the kitschy look of the place but I'll pass on the sandwiches. I can't speak to their hot food, and I didn't check the beer or cigarette prices, but I feel like a perfect rating is not deserved by this old standby as a po'boy joint.",
"Un corner store qui a l'air assez commun et old school mais on m'avait vendu leur po boy aux oyster frits comme étant \"one of the best you'll ever eat\"\n\nBon j'en ai pas mangé 2000 differents durant mon séjour mais je peux dire que celui d'ici envoie du gros gros lourd. Les huitres sont frites bien comme il faut (pas comme à d'autres endroits où la friture recouvre le gout) et le croc dans l'huitre chaude mène au delire total.\nOn peut manger au mini comptoir.\nJ'y suis meme repassé pour mon dernier sandwich avant de repartir à l'aeroport!! \nMy last NOLA bite\n\nLe duo proprio est vraiment adorable\n\nLe whole french oyster ou shrimp est à $10, bun à $6"

"As far as sports bars go, I generally stay away. Can't stand sports and I can't stand TVs blaring in every direction. \n\nEvery once and a while, I grab a pint after work with a co-worker. The staff is friendly enough for the most part, the food is pretty solid bar fare if not overpriced, and the beer selection is descent.\n\nIt's the damn TVs and sports obsession that I can't stand. And somehow, they consider wrestling a sport because people turn out in droves for it. \n\nIf you like that type of atmosphere, hit up Bully's. If not, stay away outside getting a late bite to eat.",
"The only reason I give this place 5 stars is because I know the manager and one of the the bartenders as close personal friends. Its justa sports bar if I diddn't know those guy's I'd never go there. The foods alright, they have this big ass newspaper insert(s) as their menu, and you can get 24's of beer there too. If you ever get the chance stop in and say hi to my boy Eric he's usually in the bar in the back where you can smoke. \n\nThe cool thing though, Is that they usually put on the pay-per-view UFC fights. When they come around, And it gets pretty packed if I remember correctly. There's really nothing like getting a pint and watching somebody getting their face punched in, with a large group of people who also like drinking a pint and watching someone getting their face punched in. Right? \n\n Don't get the chili burger and the chili cheese fries with a guinnes float before you go to bed, I had really bad nightmares.",
"I really like the atmosphere at Bully's. The waitresses are nice and you usually get served pretty fast. \n\nEvery time I head to Reno I have to stop at Bully's to get their chicken tenders tossed in buffalo wing sauce. During happy hour they are pretty cheap and they come with fries.",
"I love the chicken piazza sandwich. It's full of grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese bread.",
"This is my mom's favorite restaurant and bar in Reno. It's a perfect place to go and watch any game. The service is prompt and the waitresses never leave you with an empty glass. Typical bar food, so don't go here if you're on a diet! Everything I've ordered from wings to a burger was good....but the atmosphere is what makes this a great place to watch a game!",
"My husband and I came to this Bully's to watch the Nevada Wolfpack vs. Texas Tech football game on September 24th and before the 3rd quarter was over the bar replaced almost every TV with UFC. I understand the bar paid for the pay-per-view, but if they had mentioned this to us we would have sat at a location with a television bigger than the piece of crap tiny TV we are now in front of, and that was in HD, or we would have gone to a different sports bar. Plus for the second time in a row the service was horrendous. You just lost a customer Bully's. Congratulations.",
"Really good food. Especially after they changed the menu. But again it all depends on the service. And I had a excellent waitress.",
"Near my Mothers house.... good wings.... daily specials.... staff has always been very friendly. The service is good...and never have had to wait to long for our order.... and everyones food gets to the table together. Ohh yeah!!!!! The beer is nice and \"COLD\"!!!!!!",
"The bathroom is the cleanest place in this establishment. No thank you, I won't eat here.",
"I went there with a friend for happy hour. We sat at the bar and I gambled $60.00 in the video poker machines. We had 3 beers each. When the bill came, we were charged for all the beer. Modesto was our bartender. I will never be back. I would rather go to any other place in town that wont charge you for drinks when you are gambling."

"I think that the bagels are good, not NYC great, but they are good. What draws me back on a weekly basis is the friendly staff and the local business, not a chain. They are always accommodating when it comes to orders and the small town atmosphere is priceless.",
"Great bagels and breakfast wraps keep me coming back!",
"Gluten free bagels from Sweet Note Bakery! These are the best GF bagel you will find.",
"After the devastating discovery that our favorite local bagel shop (Bagel Junction) had closed (we drove up and it was empty), we drove over to what we thought was still Manhattan Bagel, only to find Newtown Bagel Company in its place. Still bummed about the disappearance of Bagel Junction, we decided to try it out. We found a pretty decent selection of bagels, cream cheeses and sandwiches. The workers were friendly and service was quick. The flavored coffee that I have was pretty good. However, the bagels --- if you would call them that --- it may sound a little harsh, but they tasted like plain old BREAD, if that makes sense. They were not bagels by our standards. Small, round discs of dough with a small sprinkle of \"everything\" bagel seasoning. A good bagel will typically fill me up for breakfast and sometimes through lunch. We were still hungry when we left. Newtown needs a good bagel place again. I won't come back here unless I have to. If you want good bagels, try Bagel Train in Yardley or RJ's in Morrisville. It is worth the short drive. However, I have a family member who is gluten free, so I did encourage her to try out the GF bagels they sell here.",
"Read Whitney A. from Holland review (12/2/12), which mirrors my own. \nThe staff is very friendly and fast, the price is reasonable, and the coffee decent. All good things. But, the bagels are not close to being the right texture nor taste. They could be so much better with a little tinkering. It's not that they are bad, it's just that they miss the target of being really satisfying. \nWith so many bagelphiles adrift at the loss of Bagel Junction, Newtown Bagel could become our Shangri-la, and garner our undying devotion and business with a few adjustments.",
"Newtown Bagel is the best bagel place in the Newtown area. They are family owned. The workers are very helpful and provide excellent service. They have a nice variety of bagels and their spreads are outstanding. My favorite is the super cinnamon bagel. It's better than other versions of the cinnamon sugar bagel! Their strawberry cream cheese is awesome. They have gluten free bagels and offer a wide varierty of breakfast and lunch items on the menu! Newtown Bagel is right down the street from Council Rock North. They combine a family owned atmosphere together with outstanding bagels! For those former bagel junction customers and others looking for great bagels and friendly service- stop by and meet April, Donna and the Newtown Bagel team. You'll be glad that you did!",
"Newtown bagel is a quaint little bagel shop , the staff is friendly and keeps us coming back, they have daily specials and now gluten free stuff too! Great bagels n people",
"Every time. Great staff and good bagels. Specials awesome Did I say the staff is super friendly especially during the week! Great job",
"Bagels are average at best. One person on the staff annoyed me. Asked the girl who waited on me if I could use coupon she said yes. She asked for help from the other girl in there and she not only rolled her eyes but also said I couldn't use coupon after I had already asked. Then hurried me out. I love in Newtown and have worked at a breakfast rest for 20 years don't be rude to local or any customer if you are in the service industry.",
"I am slowly warming up to Newtown Bagel Company. Over the past year I have stopped in a few times due to its proximity to my office, and find that the continuously gracious management is winning me over. \n\nThe bagels have not changed, and I wish they would find out how to make the crust a little crunchy, but as I have eaten several I find them more acceptable. They are always fresh and have a good chew once the crust is penetrated. The coffee is still good. Now, if they offered hot oatmeal on cold winter morning, I could become a real fan. \n\nFor now, the reality that I visit here about once a month indicates that I am satisfied with the overall experience, and should reflect my changing opinion with a third star."

"Marty's was/is my favorite Santa Barbara pizza delivery. I always ordered feta cheese and black olives. It was perfect everytime. I have fond memories of good pizza from Marty's.",
"Delicious pizza with a wide variety of toppings. Hot and cheese melty upon delivery. Love the fact they deliver all the way up Las Canoas Rd.\n\nPrices seem a bit steep for my taste but when considering they include tax and free delivery I guess it all makes sense. Coupons for $1-3 off (with no expiration date) can be found on their menus to use which is helpful. \n\nWe had the canadian bacon and mushroom pizza which was a tasty combo. Crusty, chewy hand tossed (white or wheat) crust was good enough to eat by itself. Something I rarely find among pizza parlors. The greek salad with feta, tomato, red onion, and kalamata olives was a nice addition. The homemade Italian dressing was out of this world with plenty left over to make your own house salad. \n\nSpecialty pizzas include BBQ chicken, Lo-cal supreme, BLT, Nutty chicken (with walnuts), Thai Chicken, Pesto-white, and Vegetarian.\n\nHands down beats any pizza I've eaten in LA. Definitely worth the drive. Even better shared among good friends.",
"Marty's is by far my favorite pizza in town. We always seem to order the same thing, half Marty's special and half Hot and Spicy, but we've never been disappointed. The ingredients are always fresh, and the delivery is free and quick, althoug it helps that we live so close by. Like the first reviewer said, the prices are a bit steep, but they include tax and delivery and the coupons are always available.",
"And with a choice of white or whole wheat crust you're off!\n\n\nThat is: you can order online.\n\n\nA wonderful option.\n\nOutside of building your own they have specialty pizzas\n\n\nMarty's Sicilian Pizza\nMarty's Deluxe\n\nBoth are awesome. Sicilian is a basil, tomato, onion, a couple kind of cheese type of pizza. Nice.\n\nAnd the Deluxe is your typical combo meat and veggie pizza that is anything but.\n\nAnd they have salads which I haven't had in long time, but my girlfriend gets them and she is giving me the thumbs up as I write this, (maybe she's indicating I eject?)",
"I love that they have a choice between whole wheat crust and white crust, not that having whole wheat crust is really going to make it that healthy.\n\nThe pizza was very good, especially for California. We ordered pepperoni and fresh basil on a medium pizza for two. The staff was very nice and the place reminded me of a pizzeria from back east with just enough California flair to it. Highly recommended.",
"Whoa don't waste your time. SB has bad pizza, but Marty's is perhaps some of the worst besides Domino's. I'm thinking even Rusty's is better with the exception that Marty's does have the option of Whole wheat crust. I you want pizza go to Sal's or Paesano's first.",
"I've only ordered delivery from Marty's, but it's some of the best pizza in town. They use a blend of high quality cheeses on their pizza and their sauce tastes great. Delivery time is surprisingly fast, even compared to the pizza joints within walking distance.",
"Ok WOW come on now people. I mean I understand pizza in the US isn't gonna compare to Italy but really? Are we really getting greasier and less flavorful? I mean Marty's wasn't the worst pizza I've ever had but it definitely wasn't mediocre either. Ordered large pizza, greasy as hell, and a antipasto salad, boring. They didn't even bring red pepper flakes, come on now! I'm disappointed yelpers...",
"One star for online ordering and timely delivery - awesome and fast!\nOne star for the pizza -I think pizza is one of those perfect foods and it is hard to mess up. I ordered a large Sicilian for $22.50. The cheese wasn't melty, the crust was a tad undercooked and the produce did not seem fresh. I added salt to get some flavor. It was my first time eating one of their pies, but I doubt I would return.",
"Great pizza but we're never doing business with them again! Here's our story...\n\nMy wife called and found the guy on the phone very rude. He kept on interrupting and didn't give her a chance to finish the order.. She said 'I'm sorry, is this call a bother to you? Should I call a different place?' and he ignored her saying \"so is that all then?\"\n\nWe ended up only ordering 1/2 our order, though we should have canceled it. What happened next is the unbelievable part. When my wife asked, \" can I speak to your manager?\" the guy says, \"I am the manager, but the owner is here if you want to talk to him.\" my wife hung up shaking her head. She then called back. It was the same guy. \"Can I talk to the owner?\" he says \"I am the owner.\" after explaining the situation to him, he says \"nobody else is answering the phone - it's just me here and I don't remember being rude.\" \n\nDon't do business with these guys unless you like giving your money to jerks.\n\nBy the way, I HATE giving bad reviews, unless I absolutely have to save others the trouble. Peace."

"Amazing ambiance at the sushi bar. We were treated like VIP. Sushi was great and the staff was very friendly. I have been here 3 times and each time I try a new roll and am very pleased.",
"Excellent sushi! We had 6 rolls and they were all delicious. The salad with the crabmeat, cucumber, and spicy mayo was a delicious starter:) Will be back for sure!",
"Finally found out Sushi place!! Fantastic!! The inside is beautiful, great for date night! Had the miso soup, gyozas, crab Rangoon, and 4 rolls of sushi; spicy crab, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and salmon skin. Can't tell you which is my favorite because they are all awesome. Fishhawk residents please come and support our new local dining experience so it can flourish and stay!! You won't be disappointed! Service is friendly and efficient.",
"This restaurant is nothing short of superb excellence. I had the soft shell crab, sushi appetizer, and sashimi appetizer. My wife had the Chirashi. All the plates were excellent. I am including pictures. Do not always do this but we have had these dishes from Japan to Hawaii to Florida and in between. We have never seen such excellent presentations. Appetizers and Chirashi were served in bamboo bowls with the entrees sitting on top of lighted ice. Topping it off, the service was impeccable. You have to see it and try it to believe it.",
"beware if you have a local flavor for tokyo japanese steak same phone # and location will not take coupon",
"I've gotten sushi several times here for takeout since they've opened recently. I love their spider roll! So far all their sushi has been very good.",
"They have GREAT lunch menu, from sushi, sashimi, hibachi and Bento Boxes. The prices were good for lunch time and the service was very fast (which was great since I had my 11month old with me). We will definitely be going back to try the hibachi for dinner.",
"Not much sushi at all for how much it cost. Not coming back thats for sure. The sushi was okay but nowhere near the sushi ive had before at other places.",
"The new management did a great job with redecorating the restaurant. The Habachi grill is okay : meat is a better quality then what the previous management used but when it comes to the sauces , rice and noodles the previous one was way better.",
"We had fun here. The service was fast and friendly. I had two sushi rolls that were very fresh. My hubby had beef negimaki, which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is modern but the crazy blinking lights around the bar area is a bit much. Their cocktail menu looks pretty good and I'd like to come back to try some."

"My wife and I decided to try the Slowdown Grillpub as we like local businesses and were dying for a new local spot to diner when in the area. We're happy to say that this is a nice little spot, and a few minor tweaks to the overall experience will make it better.\n\nAtmosphere - Say hello to beige and warm colors, as the Slowdown Grillpub has completely renovated the interior from the drab old business that used to be there before. The main theme for the restaurant is relaxation, and you're able to do that here in a nice clean booth or at a large table. A large bar with well placed flat screen TV's will also make for a sport's lovers night if going for the game or a beer after work. Nice layout and color scheme inside.\n\nWaitstaff - Our waitress was pretty good for the most part, recommended some good beers on the beer list (over 40 on tap and to go six packs are available as well!), and took care of a food issue that I had with my meal (more on that later). The place was pretty slow when we went in, so it was nice to see things coming out quickly after ordering them.\n\nFood - Ok, so a few minor misses here. Let's start with the good, split and order of pork dumplings that were awesome, even better then some Chinese places in the area. Crispy dumpling outside with juicy pork inside, delicious. My wife enjoyed her Slowdown Sliders (one each of a burger, crab cake, and pulled pork). I decided to try their wings, which were pretty good. Not the best I've had, but definitely better then take out or chains in the area. Now the not so good, the fries we ordered came out cold to start. Like, stale cold (yeech). The waitress brought them back and a minute later, some tasty fries came out. Although don't bother with the cheese sauce, looks like a bad whiz that's also cold. The menu here is really, really big, I'd prefer they cut down some of the items and just focus on making a few things, really good instead.\n\nIntangibles - We had a small fruit fly buzzing around us for most of the meal. Can't say that this was due to a cleaning issue, but pretty annoying and no idea where it was coming from. Make sure to check out the specials when you go, Monday's were $1 off craft beer, although their online menu says 1/2 off. Parking lot can be tricky to get out of during rush hour, may do better to go up the complex and out at the light if it's busy.\n\nOverall - I'm happy that I don't have to drive 15-20 minutes now to get a decent meal at a sports bar themed place. This seems like a good place for Football Sunday to grab a six pack and some food to go before the Eagles game. Not sure if they're thinking Sunday ticket for the bar TV's, but that might bring in more crowds during football season. Slowdown Grillpub is definitely a good spot to stop in Aston, and recommended to give it a try to see how you may like it.",
"Great food, some creative things, and nice bar atmosphere. Dumb name.",
"We love this place it is very home town! AND the food is crazy good! They must have like 6 people working in the kitchen like monsters making delicious eats! Not to mention the bartenders are as happy as can be! \n\nThe ONLY reason why I am hesitant to give this place 5 stars is due to it being basically \"family dining\". they have a fairly large dining room , and during happy hour you are most likely to catch a family in back with a couple of kids making noise and well it's slightly disturbing to toss back 5 martinis with a kid watching you...though I am usually against most kid places this one I sort of don't mind. I am certain yo won't see a folks with 4 kids in there past 8:30 at night!!!",
"I'm being generous with the two stars. I heard they had a terrific craft brew selection; wrong. The minimal craft brew menu was written by hand on a piece of paper with absolutely no description but with their choices none was needed. We settled for the most exotic-Dogfishead 60 Minutes. We started with the hot wings. They tasted baked, then flash fried instead of freshly fried. The hot sauce had a sweetness and the wings were unremarkable. Our dinner choices were the Chicken Chesapeake with broccoli & baked potato and the Surf & Turf with steamed veggies & baked potato. Couldn't tell if it was chicken or an overcooked pork chop. Could have used a steak knife to cut it since it just shredded instead of cut with the regular knife. I don't know where they buy their broccoli but I've never had anything so tough and tasteless. With the Surf & Turf the scallops were maybe one size above bay scallops and weren't too bad in flavor. The shrimp was hard, tough and dry. The crab cake was not too bad-about what you'd expect at a diner but not a restaurant. Speaking of diner, it does have the atmosphere of a diner more than a restaurant. The dining area is very open with harsh, bright lighting. The service was very good. I usually give a recommended place three strikes before they're history but in this case one trip was enough.",
"The Menu has potential if you're looking for better, quality food choices. However, the execution of the Menu is lacking. We ordered the Ahi Tuna flatbread. The 'pita-like' flatbread was cold & moist in the center. We also ordered the Shrimp Tacos. The shrimp were quite small & over cooked/dry. We are always saying that we need a local restaurant with more eclectic menu options, other than Fried food. Slow Down has the potential, but the Kitchen Staff needs to work on proper execution of the Menu.\nThe Bar Staff is consistently Friendly & Efficient.",
"I just left the slowdown pub and it is appropriately named. The service was slow and we were bothered by fruit flies throughout the meal.\n\nAlthough the food was good, I will NOT return.\n\nAfter our meal we ordered coffee and dessert. The coffee came quickly but the dessert was delayed. After a bit of time we cancelled the dessert. The waitress informed he owner (sitting across from us) that we no longer wanted dessert because of the wait. He told her there was nothing he could or would do as the dessert was plated and sauced. We were left with the choice of boxing the dessert and bringing it home or paying for it and leave it there.\n\nI was appalled by the owners attitude. He obviously does not subscribe to the theory that the customer is always right.\n\nWhen leaving I tapped the owners shoulder and gave him my cake. He wouldn't even look at us.\n\nWe we arrived home and opened the remaining mandatory desserts there was no sauce to be found.\n\nI hope he enjoys the cake I paid for!",
"1 out of 2 stars for Food\n1 out of 1 stars for Service\n1 out of 1 stars for Cleanliness\n1 out of 1 stars for Atmosphere\n\nWe ordered the pork dumplings, they taste fine but they also taste like the same frozen dumplings I buy at BJ's. For $8.99 we got 5 dumplings! Bag of 4 dozen at BJ's...same price. Considering how cheap they are, they could put a few more on the plate. We also ordered a catfish sandwich and a Cuban Pete panini. The catfish sandwich was $10, and came with one very small fillet, pickled cabbage and remoulade. I asked for more remoulade because it was very dry. The Cuban was a little dry but otherwise a good sandwich ($8).\n\nGreat service. Jenn was our waitress. She was very attentive and friendly. The bartender seemed very friendly with the bar patrons too. \n\nThe restaurant is nice and clean. Decorated with warm colors. Fourteen televisions around the bar and at least one in the dining area. This could be a great place to watch a game but not if you have to take out a second mortgage for the bar tab.",
"We have visited this place a few times since they opened. The first two times, our experience was good. Since then, each time we have had an issue. My boyfriend and I went there on a weekend to grab some beers after work. We sat at a table and no one greeted us. We looked around and the bartender saw us but she never came over. We got up and left. We decided to try it again one more time and it was a little better. The waitress was extremely friendly. My food came out wrong, which isn't a big deal. She was very quick to see it and correct it. \n\nAll in all, the food is ok. The ambience is nice. It's a quiet restaurant of you're looking for a relaxing dinner.",
"Good food, great prices. Sit at the bar or grab a table if you're with family. They have a $5 lunch menu which changes often. Awesome bloody Mary's.",
"Just found, and tried the place last night on recommendation of a friend. We ordered pierogie and meatloaf potato skin appetizers, a burger and ciapino with rum and coke and a Blue Moon. Final tab was $45, fair price. My wife could not finish the burger. The appetizers were very good except they were probably frozen as the potato seemed a smidge mealy. Still acceptable, my wife did not notice it. The burger was huge, a full 1/2 pound and a very fair price and very good. The ciapino was really Frutti Di Mare, seafood over linguine. Ciapino is a seafood \" stew\" but regardless, it was good. \nOn the positive, We went at good time as the appetizers were reduced price, $5 and beer was discounted due to happy hour. The menu is varied with a \"multicultural\" type selection which made it interesting. All burgers were 1/2 pound and seemed to be well worth the price. Place is clean, comfortable, nice decor and was quiet but that could change during a sporting event.\nDownside was, I wanted to order the home made gumbo but they were out. That is a major faux pas. However, due to our good experience, I will probably give them a \"pass\"this time.\nIt's a good local place, fair price, reasonable quality food. Probably a 3 1/2 Stars"

"Great food. It was my first time and I was starved. I got the BLT and the fried egg sandwich. OK, so I don't often eat this much but they were both worth going a little off my diet. Great bacon, tasty bread. Friendly service. Done to perfection. This is a little know gem and a place to go at lunch if you are close to government centre. look them up on Facebook and follow them. GO EAT HERE.",
"Good ingredients. Friendly service. Horribly overpriced.",
"Boring menu with little variation. For the price, the portion was small and the ingredients were simple. Half a bacon and egg sandwich should not cost more than 5/6$. Edmonton food trucks are pushing out mediocrity with boring, unambitious menus. Drift food truck is far superior in creativity and taste. I saw potential in these guys and their ability, so I'd like to see them push their boundaries and push their menu.",
"Really good food. Offers a heightened level of meaning to bacon. Priced well. Excellent service. And the best coffee in the area, period.",
"I visited the Local Omnivore for lunch while it was parked in Churchill Square. I had the \"Greens, Egg, No Ham\" which was consisted of a fried egg of a bed of greens with a very tasty turkish bun holding it all together. \n\nThe sandwich I had was one of two veggie options available, the other being a twist on grilled cheese. Greens, Eggs, No Ham was tasty but nothing too ambitious. The buzz around this place was largely focused on their bacon which explains the option to add bacon to everything. Overall, the Local Omnivore provided a tasty if not radically inventive sandwich for lunch.\n\nThe service was relatively fast and the people staffing the truck were energetic, engaging, and fun. While the options on the menu may have been slightly overpriced, the enthusiasm of the people in the truck made me happy to be supporting what is clearly a labour of love.",
"Ate a pork chop at the Porkapalooza at the Local Omnivore. Great couple of guys and definitely know their food. Little sauce with some cilantro and garlic and a pineapple salsa. Fantastic. I would have taken a picture but nom nom nom get in my belly.",
"Very nice, DIY atmosphere with lovingly crafted food that warms the belly. Service is quick and friendly.",
"I visited their location near the superflea for brunch not knowing what to expect or even that I was going to have brunch. I ordered sloppy tacos - creamy polenta topped with the most delicious ground beef, salsa verde, sour cream, pickled onions and hot sauce...at least I think that's what was in it. Holy crack it was delicious.\nThe people were cool. The atmosphere was comfortable and cool - but not make you feel like a loser cool. \nI am so genuinely happy to pay for really tasty delicious interesting food. I can't wait to go back!",
"The Local Omnivore has been opened for roughly two months now, as a brick and mortar space. I never had the chance to try out their food truck so I was excited for their restaurant. Specializing in cured and smoked meats, they focus on sandwiches and sides along with having an in-house deli. Their sandwiches are stuffed with meats fresh from the deli, served on its own. It's hidden away in an area that seems to cater mainly to business and work people. This was made obvious when the lunch rush quickly filled up the place when I had stopped by for a quick bite with my cousins. Their hours of operation are 9 to 5 with brunch being served on the weekend.The place itself is quite spacey with more of a run-down hipster vibe. I loved the little touches around the place, like the potholder lights and the huge cow head named Fernando. \n\nI had already eaten an hour before I came here (big mistake) so I wasn't super hungry. I decided to order the pirate spiced fries cause my friend referred to them as \"crack fries\"! Well, I can see why these fries can be addicting. I wouldn't expect a sandwich shop like this to serve such delicious fries! They were thinly cut into shoe strings, each one with tons of flavour. It was topped with pirate spice, which I can only describe as mildly spicy and flavorful. The fries were already salty so the spice definitely gave it a more savoury taste. \n\nMy cousin ordered a poutine which was actually a very big serving. It's good for sharing or enjoyed it as a meal by one person. The poutine consisted of the same shoe string spiced fries as mine, topped with cheese curds, green onions, and vegan gravy. The gravy was rich and a little bit spicy - more spicier than my fries. We all enjoyed the poutine though. \n\nMy other cousin ordered one of the sandwiches from the menu. He chose the super smoked bacon sandwich which was served on Russian rye bread. It came with super smoked bacon (duh!), cheddar, and a fried egg. It was more of a breakfast sandwich rather than a lunch one. He didn't mention anything that he didn't like about it aside from how it was a bit small. For the $9 price, I feel like the sandwich should either be bigger or come accompanied with a side. If you're interested in trying out their other sandwiches, the meats rotate.\n\nWill I be back? Probably, just cause those fries are pretty addicting.",
"Love it\nLove it\nLove it\n\nEveryone loves meat and great food. \n\nHad the taco with no shell and the breakfast for my wife. \n\nGreat."

"This was our first meal at Nook's, maybe it is unfair to judge because they only opened Monday, however, here it is. Our service was kind of awful..the girl was nice enough, but it took her 10 mins to greet the table, 15 mins to bring the drinks, 45 mins for our entrees (which is the kitchen's fault however I know it could also be due to the server forgetting to put our food in). The menu was extremely large. It was nice they included the history of how Nook's came to be but overall I thought it was poorly organized. On the back there is a section listed as \"Bar food\" or something like that, and all the apps and mini desserts were $4 a piece, like a bar tapas menu. I would have loves to have saw THAT meun before I ordered my meal but because it was on the back in a different color I didn't even notice it. And apparently you can order that food at tables too so.... The bar area was pretty nice, lots of seating, lots of TV's, nice looking bartenders and they had a live lounge-type singer performing oldies next to the bar. Thursday they have $1 off draft beer night which runs all night. We sat around 7:00 pm for dinner and it was extremely LOUD. Yes, I know bars are loud but it was so loud Dennis and I had to retreat outside to speak to one another. After a while it was giving my a headache. Places like this could really benefit from some curtains or rugs to help bounce/reduce sound. Also, some curtains would be nice to help shadow the fact that you are looking at a parking lot.\n\nThe meal; I had two stella's draft from the bar, beer was fresh and cold but was served with no head. Dennis had a Grey Goose and sprite that was served in a regular water glass and was a bit overpriced but it's Grey Goose so hey. I ordered the Flank Steak Sandwich with homemade chips which I subbed for fries. All sandwiches come with chips instead of fries. The sandwich was pretty large probably could of used a half cut to make it pallet-able but the actual meat was seasoned pretty well, it was cooked to a good temp .The problem with flank steak is that it can be tough and would have benefited from some extra time marinating to make it easier to chew. The french fries were also well seasoned but under cooked. No one likes a soggy fry. Dennis, my husband had a bacon bleu cheese burger also with fries and had absolutely no complaints. The couple next to us had wings and they looked and smelled amazing. Overall, the prices of the food were very reasonable for the area. 6 wings for 6 dollars makes sense to me.",
"I work about 1/2 a mile from Nook's and was SO excited that this place was opening. Our waitress, Shannon, was AMAZING - super efficient, talkative (but not in an annoying way) and very friendly. I started with a crock of french onion soup: it. was. delicious! Cheesy goodness, salty broth, many onions - everything I look for in french onion soup - definitely 5 stars. My friend got 6 wings - looked a bit small - but he seemed happy with them. We also had a Blue Moon each, which were served wonderfully cold. For our main course my friend had salmon, which was served over asparagus - he enjoyed it very much. I got the 12oz. NY strip, prepared \"medium\". Unfortunately my steak was overcooked (no pink in center), but it was still tender enough that I was able to cut it with a butter knife! The steak was served over mashed potatoes with a large sliced portabella on top and a side of broccoli. I only had one bite of broccoli - it was a bit crunchy for my taste. The potatoes were homemade with skins mixed in - yum. The steak was juicy and the mushroom was cooked to perfection. Our second beers were not as cold and my glass had a crack in it on both sides - not the fault of anyone but the bartender. The waitress quickly rectified this situation. The overall concensus - great place to eat, listen to music, and drink. I'll definitely be back although I got a new job out of the area!",
"Avoid this place like the plague. The service is horrible! Our waitress was a complete moron. We never even got our food. Had to go to Bungs to eat",
"I wouldn't even give this rating a one! I was referred to this hell hole because my neighbor had just told me it opened recently and wanted to check it out. This was by far the the most unprofessional establishment I have ever witnessed in my entire existence on this Earth. There is more than one owner whom, do not communicate properly unless they are tanked and both are on a conflict of interest power trip. Customers can witness them drinking on the job, including both owners, and when we were seated by the owner's wife, she clearly was intoxicated and tried to sit us at an unclean table (I'm assuming as a joke) before putting us in a corner table without silverware or napkins. My brother ordered the NY Strip steak which was burnt. The other owner was chasing every girl in there who did not look a day over 21. The one owner tried to buy my sister a drink without even carding her and we were so dissatisfied with the service that we paid our bill as quickly as possible and exited the premises immediately. Not only did we feel embarrassed, violated and disrespected, but the sad part is I had high hopes for this establishment, but it is nothing but a complete an utter failure that will not make it very long. Extremely ignorant and even a racist establishment because the family next to our table waited and complained while we received our food before there's and we came in after them (again my brother ordered a NY strip steak) . Servers, bartenders and even the younger manager (late 20's) were great with service, but it seems the owners and the drunk wife are in it to play \"house\" and drink wine rather than run a restaurant and keep customers satisfied. The worst family dining experience I have ever had in my life. Hopefully this review can save someone else from the horrible time I had.",
"Went on a Friday night with a few college friends hoping to have a good time but it was not the greatest. Place was dead around 9:00, food came out so quick it almost felt like it was fast food. Wait staff is nice and respectful. Craft beers on tap are pretty expensive. Unfortunately wont be returning here again.",
"Great place to eat!!!! The food is delicious, sometimes rare dishes for a bar & grill. Staff is friendly....would definitely recommend to friends and family!!!",
"Way too LOUD! You cannot talk to the people at your own table. Server tried her best,but everything came out at all different times and little problems with each entree.The flank steak sandwich is ALL FAT. I understand this is a bar but the volume and the selection of \"music\" will drive out any middle aged folks in a very short time. I think this is a \"one and done\" visit to this grille.",
"I had gone a few times when they had first opened and it was rough. the service was rough, the food was different each time. I haven't sat at a table since then as, noted in other reviews, the service was very slooow. I've sat at the bar since, though, and continued to enjoy the bar, which has a number of t.v.s.\nI think their menu is cool and trendy, different than regular bar food. I am way into the homemade truffle potato chips and the the white bean bruschetta. Those are under the $4 bar menu. i've also enjoyed the bacon dusted calamari, which was real tasty.\nOne time, my sister ordered the applesauce something or other wings...they were very bland and tasted like nothing other than warm applesauce. The sauce could've used some bbq sauce and brown sugar. \nMy boyfriend had the steak sandwich at one point, which he described to be o.k.\nThat time we also ordered fried oreos. I love fried oreos, i did not love these. There was way too much batter and they were way overcooked. \nI think their drinks a little pricey and their missing an opportunity on their beer selection. I drink beer and seek out craft beer spots, and I am not alone...there are a lot of beers on tap but they mostly include PBR, sam adams, guinness, coors, bud, yuengling. The best beers they have (or at least had, I haven't been in awhile) were goose island, victory and magic hat., which are still to me just okay and not unique. Definitely need to branch out and get some more craft beers to live up to their name. i understand the type of people that may patron this bar are your blue collar, budweiser type crowd for the most part...but what's to say doing fun beer tasting nights or food/beer dinners wouldn't open up a new world to those folks?\nStill, it's better than it's competitor, Bung's. There! I said it.",
"First and last visit. The food was mediocre, the service was subpar and the atmosphere was dull on a Friday night. The table next to ours was leaving as we sat down, they barely touched their food, we should have taken that as a sign.",
"Nooks is a fairly new place that my friend and I visited on a Sunday for football. The deals for food were great, $2 pulled pork sliders and hit dogs and half price tomato pie at halftime. In addition the beer variety was good and Frank and Kenny behind the bar were working hard. The atmosphere was raucous but well behaved so families could enjoy the game too. I'll be back."

"Twistee Treat was a huge favorite of mine growing up and I can't say how happy I was to see these iconic cone buildings popping up around Tampa. We grabbed dinner nearby on a Friday evening and decided we needed an ice cream chaser. This location was having a little kid's dance party event with a DJ, cool lights, and fun contests for the kids. Despite the noise and children running to and fro, it was actually kind of cool to be outside on a balmy night with fabulously crappy dance music blasting. I went with a plain old chocolate cone and the hubby did one of the specialty flavors in a cup. The ice cream was a good as it always is and we were amused to see a few staff members at this location that we recognized from the Fowler location. Maybe they were called in for the event? A note on the staff - I am often hesitant when I see that the entire staff appears to be under 18, but they were friendly, helpful, and quick. Sorry I doubted you kids - you did a great job!",
"I've driven by old school Twistee Treats for years in Tampa Bay and never tried them. They looked old and unappetizing. All of a sudden I notice a brand new cone building being built right in front of the barber shop we take our don to. Then I heard that there was another new Twistee Treat in Carollwood. So, I finally tried twistee after they opened.\n\nWoooow! I've been missing out all these years of living in Tampa Bay! \n\nI'm a big fan of custard and the ice cream at Twistee Treat sort of has a custardy consistency, which I love! \n\nI really like the fact that there are seasonal flavors. The pumpkin is awesome and I can't wait to order again next Fall!\n\nThe ice cream sandwich is HUGE! It took me 3 days (I took a few bites then put it in the freezer) to finish eating it. The chocolate chip cookies that the vanilla ice cream is sandwiched in between are quality real size cookies! \n\nThis location is clean and festive looking, especially at night. There's good seating outside and the drive thru is so convenient. (I will frequent any joint if there's a drive thru...particularly when I look crazy...which is often).\n\nMy kids love Twistee Treat and even hubby who acts like he doesn't like sweets (he's an undercover dessert lover) likes Twistee Treat.\n\nSo far the customer service has been great too. I hope it stays this way after the new, new wears off!",
"How can I drive by this place weekly and not stop? \n\nWhile out and about with Miss E, I decided to Drive In. Having a newborn baby, any type of food selection needs to include a drive thru. Getting in and out of the car with a baby is not an easy feat and one I care not to do.\n\nI saw they had waffle tacos. The thought took me back to my younger years when I enjoyed a Choco Taco from 7-11. I opted for the chocolate chip one. \n\nMy husband and I are in a weight loss challenge (BTW I'm going to win) so I knew I couldn't blow my lead by devouring the entire thing. A few bites is all I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth.\n\nIt was pretty easy, considering it was just OK. I could tell it's not a hot seller and that it had been sitting in the freezer a little too long. Next time I will opt for a kid's size soft serve ice cream.",
"I just took the family to this place tonight for the first time. Wow..really awesome Ice Cream. And I haven't seen such friendly service at an Ice Cream joint since the Carvel's on Sheldon Road closed a year or two ago.\n\nIf you have not been here yet, I highly recommend the soft ice cream. Just order a Chocolate-Vanilla Twist on a cake cone and be prepared for a heavenly experience!",
"Historically, not a fan of Twistee Treat. However, this new location has a lot more to offer than what my memory recalls of these icecream cone-shaped suppliers of frozen goodies. Not only did I see shakes and malts, but I also saw Nathan's hot dogs? Nce touch. \n\nI recently stopped in for two hand-dipped cones. Apparently \"two\" is the new \"one\" because that's what they heard. They eventually got the order right, but not before my cone started sweating like a whore in church. Oh well, maybe next time.\n\nCones were good tho, so I might swing thru again.",
"This is exactly what an ice cream place should be: fun, easy, loaded with available choices and excellent ice cream.\n\nHow can you pass up an ice cream place that is shaped like a giant soft-serve ice cream cone, with a huge menu and outdoor seating? Huddle near the posted overhead menu in front of the ordering window (or drive-thru) and do your best to pick your selection: lots of ice cream flavors or soft-serve, plenty of cone types and flavors, sundaes, shakes, splits, slushies, twists or specialty items. Or how about a hot dog?\n\nThis demanding task will pay off in the end, since everything looks great, there is absolutely no skimping on the quantity of any ingredient, the price is right, and the taste is downright awesome. Their stuff is fresh, made very well and prepared excellently. \n\nThe place is clean inside and out, and they have tables with umbrellas, benches and chairs to sit and enjoy (or share) every lick. What a great place for kids and adults of any age. Enjoy a treat by yourself, with friends or the family. It's a great time!!",
"This place is dangerously close to home and has become my \"weekly treat\"! Their ice cream is so smooth and creamy and the cookiewich is my absolute fave - it's made fresh daily and covered in chocolate chips. If you haven't tried one, you need to!!",
"Just craving for some ice cream and as it's is closer to my place decided to visit this place to get my cravings satisfied and I was satisfied. The location has easy access.",
"This place is adorable. It's shaped like an ice cream cone and there are rainbow LED sprinkles on top. The colorful Adirondack chairs, umbrellas, and benches are great. A nice touch is that there's a sturdy railing around the patio area so kids can't run out in front of cars. Bonus points to the kid who took my order wearing the \"There's always money in the banana stand\" T-shirt. Lolz\n\nI got a kid-sized cookie dough \"blizzard/mixer\" type thing (twister? I dunno). It was $2.99 plus tax and I could barely finish it. The ice cream was really good and there was TONS of cookie dough. Twistee Treat knows the way to my heart...don't skimp on the mix-ins. \n\nI'm super proud that I've been driving by this place at least 3 times a week since early May and this is the first time I've stopped. \n\nBesides ice cream, they also have Nathan's hot dogs. One is $1.89 and there are combos of 2 dogs and a shake too. I wish they had chili and cheese...that would've been mighty tempting.",
"Great place to come for those late night ice cream cravings. This is a new location that has opened up and has a lot more flavor options then the one on Hanley. Prices aren't too bad and they have created a great sitting area to enjoy your treat! I didn't realize how much I liked rainbow sprinkles on ice cream until I came here. It brought out the inner child hehe. So far I have tried the coconut and the pina colada on a waffle cone with sprinkles :) Both were delicious. The only grip I have is that as soon as I get my cone everything starts melting! I lose half of my precious sprinkles! It becomes a messy event so I would suggest having hand sanitizer for the aftermath. My hubby has tried out the ice cream cookie sandwich and the taco. The cookie sandwich was kind of hard, I thought they were going to make it to order, but I guess they have a freezer of them and the tacos. Not too impressed. My sisters got a shake and the small was huge! Plenty to share with the whole table.\n\nIf you have a puppy companion with you they will also make sure they get a treat! A little cup with vanilla ice cream and a doggy treat on top! Our dogs loved it!"

"Moe's is a lot like Chipotle -- you essentially pick a basic (burrito, taco, quesadilla, salad) & pick your fillings / toppings as you go down the line, then pay, grab some salsas & be seated & enjoy.\n\nAll of the menu items at Moe's have strange names -- burritos include the \"Homewrecker\" & \"Joey Bag of Donuts\"; standing in line you hear people ask for a \"J.C.\", or \"Joey Cocostan\" quesedilla (meat, beans & cheese). On the tables they have those little triangular ad card things with a list of the \"Top 10 Reasons You Know You Spend Too Much Time at Moe's\", or something to that effect. One of them is \"All your favorite foods are named after inside jokes.\" Oh, is that what they were supposed to be? I thought they were just idiotic phrases that someone thought would be catchy.\n\nI also think it a little ... pointless? that they have these special names for items that are *exactly* the same but for the fact that one lacks an ingredient & one has it. Better to have it Chipotle-style, in my opinion, & just go down the line & tell them what you want. Guacamole's extra? Fine, add it anyway. It's easier than calling out a different menu name. Maybe I feel like guac today & I don't tomorrow. That means I have to look at the menu again? Stupid.\n\nChips & salsa do come with every meal, free (the salsas are at the salsa bar; you've got 5 selections & they're all fine but not exciting), & the portion sizes of the entrees are decent for what they charge.\n\nOverall Moe's is basically a step up from Taco Bell as far as Mexican fast food, with perhaps a little bit less variety. It generally leaves you wanting something -- flavor? originality? -- but otherwise satisfies.",
"i love love love moe's! every time i'm in town i come to this location at least once and i'm never disappointed. what sets moe's apart from the other similar places is TOFU! i always get something with it, my fave being the nachos. it's marinated & delicious!",
"They never forget to say, \"Welcome to Moooooes\". I find the menu somewhat confusing. Everything I've had is good. Queso is so-so; guacamole is so-so. Service is fast though, even at weekday lunch time.",
"This was my first trip to Moe's EVER. I know, I know...where have I been? There's one close to my hometown in Indiana, so it's not like they're some hard to find place.\n\nI've been to Chipotle and it's artsy fartsy vibe. This was a more \"normal\" vibe than there. We don't go to \"chill\" there, we go to eat there. Anyways, I was there at noonish and the line was 20 deep. I had a wait of nearly 30 mins to get my bag of food - no biggie. They do offer my company a 10% discount which is a classy move by them.\n\nI got the chicken bowl. The chicken wasn't quite as good as Chipotle but the portion was considerably bigger. They also offer you chips if you'd like them. The salsas they offer are pretty tasty, but it'd be nice if there was a HOT one with some flavor.\n\nI will definitely be back to this Moe's...but it'll probably just be for lunch.\n\nOn a side note...I do appreciate the strange names they've named things. Anyone can call it a burrito...or a quesadilla. The \"close talker\" cracked me up.",
"For a chain, this was better than I expected. The menu options are fancifully named but actually limited variations of beans, rice, meat, tortillas & sauces. It it nice to have the option of selecting cheese/veggies/other toppings and the 4 salsas you can get for your chips are fine......letting you add hot sauce if preferred. The bag of chips that come with each meal are fresh, light & tasty.\n\nWe got the chicken & pork rice bowls and were well pleased with the flavor and quantity. The prices are a bit high, but this is a fast-food chain, not a local Mexican/Latin restaurant where you can get more, tastier and lower price...but with a wait. So if you want a good quick meal and the illusion of welcome from the staff all chanting \"Welcome to Moes\" in chorus, drop in at this plaza anchored by Sweetbay.",
"I don't understand why Moe's isn't constantly crowded. The food is really good and fresh. Is it real authentic Mexican ? no, but it's really good quick Tex Mex.\n\nTry the Tomatillo Salsa in the salsa bar in the back it's great! My girlfriend and I eat here at least once a week for lunch and we have never been disappointed at least not yet.\n\nI have been eating at various Moe's around the tampa bay area for a while now and LOVE IT! This one was no exception. The food is awesome, service is great, and price although I think more than the midwest cousins is fair for the amount of food.\n\nThe quality and taste far surpass the rivals not to mention they give you chips and unlimited drink refills which just doesnt happen at the other guys.\n\nSomehow It took me what looks like a year of this place being open to realize it was here. Guess I dont need to travel around for long anymore for Moes right. lol",
"i still love the food here, but have recently discovered that the chips, taco shells and corn tortillas are NOT gluten-free. that makes me sad, because there is no reason in the world to add gluten to something that should be made only of corn. that's one of the reasons i love chipotle so much - they don't add any gluten to anything. so the only gluten-free options here are the rice bowls and the salads without the shell. this new development knocks it down a star.",
"Ok...I admit it. I went back for Moe's Monday. $5.99 for pretty much everything I'd need...chips & salsa included. I asked if I could get a Rice Bowl for the same $5.99 deal - the guy laughed and said \"of course you can...who told you you couldn't?\". Well, the Moe's on Neptune basically said that wasn't an option and charged me full boat for it on a Monday because \"uhhh it's like not a burrito...it's in a bowl\".\n\nOne thing is for sure, I'll never go back to the Neptune one and this Moe's has won me over enough to give them one more star.\n\nOHHH OHHH I almost forgot...they finally got a SALSA that's hot. Thank you Moe's. \n\nDid I mention they give me 10% off because of my work badge? Nice touch.",
"I go to Moe's for the Monday special, pretty much every Monday. You get a burrito or bowl, chips and queso and a drink for just $5.99. During the lunch hour the place gets very packed and even though the line goes by pretty fast, I would say 10 minutes at the most. The reason why I love Moe's so much is the quality of the ingredinets, the tastyness and the cheap prices.",
"I'm a Chipotle loyalist, but I do occasionally pay Moe's a visit for one reason only... I LOVE their green salsa and queso. To me, it's their one advantage over Chipotle. I also love that in addition to the traditional toppings, they have a great selection of toppings you can add to your burrito for free, including cilantro (the world's most polarizing herb), olives, chopped raw onions, sauteed mushrooms & onions, and a yummy chipotle ranch. Choose the steak over the chicken -- it has more flavor and is less dry. \n\nThis location is always full of friendly staff, who, of course, greet you with the customary \"Welcome to Moe's!\""

"It's reliable food. You know what you're getting when you go to Taco Bell. At least this one. But it's nothing special. For the same or a little more money you can go to dozens of Mexican restaurants and get better food.\nOn my recent trip here, I got a supreme burrito and two hard shell tacos. It wasn't bad. It wasn't special. It was exactly what I was expecting. It would be like most other Taco Bells in the country. There's something to be said for consistency. \nOne bad thing. I asked for hot sauce. For my one burrito and two tacos, I got exactly one package of hot sauce. I guess I need to be more specific next time.\nThis Taco Bell franchise used to be on Greenbrae Drive near Pyramid Way where another Mexican place now operates (without the drive through). When this opened at the new location, they had to be the most successful fast food franchise ever in Sparks, at least until In N Out Burger arrived. There was always a line at the drive out when I went. I mean always. Even at midnight. And when Taco Bell used to advertise cheap food nationally, they were doing so well here they decided not to be one of the participating Taco Bell locations. You were screwed trying to get the deals on food from here. Time caught up and they're not doing quite as well now, although they seem to be doing good still.",
"This is a pretty average Taco Bell. Service is fast. I had to give two stars because they do not seem to know how to make a \"Seven Layer Burrito\". They consistently throw some rice and two or three random ingredients in a tortilla and call it done. I've come back several times hoping maybe it was just one employee who didn't take the time to learn how to make it. Nope. It has happened at least six times over the past year or so.",
"Very fast. Order taken and repeated, paid and recived the food. Drive through you see. Opened bag and my god it was all there just as ordered. Tasted good too.\n\nYippie Mikie is happy.",
"Certainly not my favorite quick order Mexican food place, but it's ok sometimes. The problem is most of the food is so tasteless, especially burritos, and the tacos are always overstuffed with lettuce to make up for the lack of beef/beans inside. This is why I only order Mexican Pizza, nachos and tostadas. Here is a tip, fold the tostadas to make a taco, they are much tastier than their regular tacos.\nWhen I was a kid, TB was so much better.",
"very nice employees food oreder always gets messed up so check your order before you leave",
"Worst Taco Bell I have ever been to. Waited 15 minutes for cold food that wasn't even wrapped up properly. Took my food back in untouched and asked for a refund. They denied my request. I will never ever go back.",
"First, there is a young lady named Marcy who actually works hard. But when she isn't there, the place is a mess. I do not expect rocket scientists, but I don't think I have ever had an order that wasn't somehow messed up from here, unless it was Marcy. Ordered a burrito supreme, was charged for it, got home to find it was a 7 layer (one dollar less). Asked for mild sauce, nothing but hot. And the beans were in the bag upside down. I think if I want Taco Bell again, I will just drive the extra two miles to the Disc Drive location.",
"By far the WORST Taco Bell ever. First problem was we found hair in our food and it turns out to be one of the rude supervisors and refused to even help us out and denied us our money back so the general manager who was awesome helped us out and refunded us. Then all of a sudden tonight after months of not going back to this we decided to and we specifically asked for our nacho cheese that's comes on the burrito to just put it on the side like all the other t bells do we never got charged for it and my boyfriend is deathly allergic to it and for a soft taco instead of hard shell. Of course it was all wrong cheese everywhere charged for the nacho cheese no soft taco and the young lady who took our order tried to argue with us saying \"you didn't say that\" last time I checked the customer is always right. Working in the food industry i know good service when i see it and she didnt have any of it. Her voice, attitude, body language all wrong. The manager at the time accommodated us. He was polite and so nice. But the young employee however was horrible and shouldn't be even interacting with people. Pathetic attitude, laughing as she got our order wrong and horrible service all around and nothing done about it no apology...nothing. This taco bell just needs new employees and people who actually pay attention to what's going on instead of goofing off.",
"The mcnasty from California who now owns this place said that if someone wants a senior discount, she'll raise the prices and then give them the discount. She has no people skills when she said that I could only put water in my cup and if I wanted soda I better pay for it. She is one of the people from California who gives the rest of them a very bad name. I did tell her that I was going on Facebook and tell everyone her comments and she didn't care. I think she'll care when her sales are in rhe toilet. Everyone should bypass this b***h's place and go to the one at legends where they treat you good and give a senior discount.",
"Since they tore down the old building and put up a new one the quality has improved. So far they have gotten my orders correct and the portions are fuller. The wait is still a bit long, and their new digital ordering screen in the drive through doesn't seem to work, but it is still an overall improvement. The staff has been polite and they have new paper bags that are easier to handle and treat the food packages better. We will see if they keep up the improvements!"

"Great pizza by the slice or the whole pie. Andi and Kim have done a great job. Lots of non-pizza items on the menu too! Worth the trip.",
"Wow!..that's all I can say..I tried every pizza out there in the whole country.they always disappoint.but this place?..not only are the prices great!..I ordered a large pepperoni extra cheese with mushrooms..14.95 ...and its not a fake its a real large! I always AM suspicious when I order extra cheese..but believe me..this was not only extra cheese but very good quality cheese! it was sloppy goodness at its best!..had it delivered here in holiday..very pleasant female delivery girl...I am a fan of slice if heaven pizza!",
"The pizza was good but I was not really impressed. What made me say WOW was the tasty mozzarella sticks! I think they had rosemary in them and they were the best I've ever had!",
"Great pizza! Definitely New York style, which isn't usually my preference (I like crisp thin crust), but this pizza was a game changer for me. They make their sauces from scratch and they are wonderful. We also got the garlic knots that come with their incredible marinara sauce for dipping. The sauce was so good that my husband made the waitress leave the sauce so he could dunk his pizza crust in it. Yes! It's that good! The only down side to this place is it is mainly outside seating only, there is one table inside but it was hotter inside than outside. So if it's nice outside and you want great pizza that they also sell by the slice head straight to Slice of Heaven and enjoy.",
"I'm from Spring Hill Florida. While driving home from sand key the kids wanted pizza so we saw the recommendation on yelp and we went....LEGIT!!! my chicken parm sub... top 3 I've ever had... garlic knots... killed everyone's in my area!! I was so surprised and happy! I asked the cook if he was from New York and to my shock he told me he was Albanian! Coming from an Italian I'm telling you that this restaurant is putting out better italian food than 97% of what I've sampled in the greater Tampa Bay area. Kudos to you Mr. Albanian... you're doing it better than most \"Authentic\" Italians! Oh and they were all smiles and very friendly! A++",
"This place is wonderful! I have ordered Stromboli from them twice margarita style and they both have been phenomenal. The second time I called they knew exactly who I was and when I ordered knew exactly how I liked it. I appreciated that very much. I'm happy I discovered them while driving home and will definitely use them again!",
"I really can't say enough about this place, the food only seems to increase in flavor as they get to know me as a personal customer. I appreciate this so much and the professionalism that goes behind their customer service.I would tOtally recommend this place as your next Italian order!",
"Good fresh pizza! I have ordered from them numerous times, never disappointed. The pizza is definately their thing.",
"Pizza was terrible! I like thin crust pizza but this was paper thin with little to no sauce and minimal cheese. We went there because of the price and let's just say you get what you pay for, the wings we got were ok nothing special.",
"Great pizza. Good salads. Definitely has a NY feel and flavor to it. I will be order from here again for sure. Check this place out if you're a local!"

"Treated like royalty every time we go in! EXCELLENT freshness!!!! Definetly sit at the bar for a one on one experience with the chef :-)",
"Unagi & Sushi is my favorite place to get sushi in Metairie area. The special rolls could be pretty pricey so I don't go there as often as I used to. This place is located right next to Rouse's on Airline near the Cox Communications building. This used to be the place of WoW Wingery.\n\nAs one of the reviewers previously mentioned, the interior in this joint looks very simple, and the place looks clean.\n\nIf you choose to dine in, they serve you with their complimentary noodle salad (clear noodles with white sauce and sesame seeds) in a small plate. This tastes good.\n\nI haven't really tried their whole menu so far. But when I go there I always go for their Hollywood Roll or Funky Margarita Roll.\n\nThe Hollywood Roll is a snowcrab-based roll with shrimp tempura in the middle, smelt roe, wrapped in soy paper with the right amount of their mayo-based spicy sauce. There is no sushi rice in this roll. If you like crunchy, don't forget to tell them to add their crunchy flakes with the roll. I found that the crunchy improves the overall taste of the Hollywood Roll. You can choose to have the crunchy on top or inside of the roll. Their crunchy flakes taste different than the crunchy in most sushi restaurants around. The crunchy flakes at Unagi & Sushi taste salty, not tasteless as in many restaurants.\n\nThe Funky Margarita roll is what really got me hooked to Unagi & Sushi. You can choose to have either crawfish or spicy tuna in this roll. I try to tell them to make it with crawfish but if I did not tell them it'll come with spicy tuna. I just prefer crawfish to go with this roll. The crawfish or spicy tuna is wrapped in seaweed then sushi rice.The roll is topped with guacamole sauce, crunchy, and some eel sauce. When I first read the menu, I was kind of skeptical about having guacamole in sushi. But I guess the people at Unagi & Sushi would not put it on the menu if it does not taste great. The onion in the guacamole can be pretty strong. So chew some gums if you happen to have this for lunch and need to go back to work afterwards. :)",
"My son started going there with friends about a year ago. He always stated how good it was. I started going with him and found out that it is great. The lobster roll and Steve roll are really good. They start with the noodle salad which is awesome and followed by the special egg rolls that are made in house. The grilled squid state is also a winner. Don't judge the location in a strip mall because the sushi is top notch and Leon, the sushi chef and owner, is a top notch sushi chef!",
"Tried this place for the first time today and was very impressed. I had the Rock and Roll and the Desiree Roll. The Desiree Roll was deep fried which is something I've never had before. Both rolls were presented beautifully and had great taste. Both were extremely fresh tasting. Actually fresher than anything I've had at other sushi restaurants. The rolls were a very nice size and reasonably priced at $7.95 each. It was not very crowded for 12:30 on a Tuesday, but I'm guessing the word has not gotten out about this place yet. I will definetely be returning here.",
"My boyfriend were around the area, so we decided to give this place a try. The decor of the place was not so great, but we didn't want to give judgements base on the decor. The menu was very similar to this other sushi place we often go to, Kyoto II, so we decided to ordered some sushi rolls, Yakisoba, and baked green mussels. All of our food was just ok nothing special at all! The rice seemed soaked in vinegar because it was extremely sticky. The Yakisoba was bland. The mussels were baked with tons of spicy mayo sauce on top and no smelt roe. The only reason why I gave it a 2 star is because our waiter was nice and attentive. Other than that, I would not come back for seconds.",
"While the tea was ok, the seafood soba was the worst I've ever seen. Nothing but oddly shaped leftover bits of the raw fish they use to make sushi and sashimi. It had a bad (real old fish) smell. It had only one shrimp and several really mushy clam strips...and again with the fake frigging krab!\n\nSeriously people...STOP SELLING FAKE KRAB as crabmeat. Being in New Orleans, you have NO EXCUSE to sell KRAB while labeling it crab. The broth was salty but still bland...FYI, tuna heated up in water turns into something too similar to tunafish from a can...No thanks. \nThey were good enough to take it off my bill but I can't imagine going back. Between the higher than usual prices and the horrible, horrible soup, I just can't imagine it.",
"While heading to get some Mardi Gras supplies nearby I finally stopped for lunch at Unagi. Overall it was a mixed bag.\n\nI like that I was given a small bowl of a noodle salad (just like Mikimoto, but not as good) when I was seated. I ordered the lunch roll combination and a squid salad. First out was a bowl of miso soup. Miso is very hard to do wrong and still hard to do really well. Most places have just middle of the road miso soup and I often use it as the first measure of the quality of a sushi restaurant. Unagi produced a barely mediocre miso soup. I didn't bother with the house salad that came with my combination but I did enjoy the squid salad. Then again, it's pre-packaged so all they had to do was put it in a bowl.\n\nThe lunch roll combination is simple: pick two from a list of rolls for about $7. That's a pretty good deal since just the rolls are usually more than that and you also get the soup and salad. This is where things start to fall apart. While I do appreciate getting 8 pieces rather than 6 for each roll (I was expecting skimpy rolls for a lunch special and was pleasantly surprised) the rice itself was mushy. If I was making the sushi I would never have served that rice. One of the rolls I ordered was the Philadelphia roll, a personal favorite. Usually that means smoked salmon and Philadelphia cream cheese as if it were a bagel. Instead of salmon they used tuna. A weird choice and ok tasting, but I was expecting salmon like every other Philly roll I've ever had uses.\n\nOverall it's cheap sushi but you don't get nearly the quality you do at other places. I've even seen buffets that are better.",
"Surprisingly good. Honestly I had low expectations going in but I dont have a negative word to say. \nTheir lunch special for 7.99 is a generous portion. I ordered the \"unforgettable roll\" and it was very good! The noodle salad was really good too! \n\nIts my new fav place when I cant get out to Rock n Sake!",
"Love Desiree & Lobster rolls.I go at least once a month.",
"Love this place. Sushi is always fresh. Staff is super friendly. Great prices. Pretty quick for lunch."

"I was planning on staying home tonight but Indigo kept grabbing her coat. So we headed to Petite 4. \n\nLocated off of Latah by the railroad tracks, the place is a teensy, narrow building with a bar, and outdoor seating. There is a lot for easy parking. \n\nAfter being seated outside, Indigo and I ordered the root vegetable and latkes, americano with cream, and petite mousse. \n\nI'm a fan of latkes thanks to my Grandma Omi, and this was an excellent spin on traditional potato pancakes. I wish it came with a side of applesauce but I'm just sentimental. \n\nThe coffee and cream were fantastic! The coffee came with rock candy sugar on a stick which added a delightful whimsical touch. \n\nThe petite mousse was served in a tiny golden pineapple with golden spoons. Fancy. Even though it was tiny, the mousse was indulgent and just enough due to its richness. Indigo enjoyed the petite mousse, as did I. It was excellent! \n\nOur food took awhile to come out, which is understandable, as the place was packed. Next time I'll just order dessert and coffee to shorten the wait. \n\nThe service was fabulous and it seemed like there were only two servers juggling everyone. They did a wonderful job and we never felt forgotten despite being seated outside. The waiter even offered to move us inside but we were fine being outside. \n\nThe people seated at the table next to us were friendly and one of the young ladies offered to take our picture which was amazing. The other patrons we interacted with were nice and kind to Indigo. On our way out, we saw someone we knew, which was a delight. \n\nI wouldn't recommend bringing small children. There is not much room for kids to move around \ninside or outside due to the design of the building and location close to a street. There isn't a changing table. I knew the challenges of bringing Indigo beforehand so these aren't complaints. \n\nThat being said, they were very welcoming, accommodating, and helpful at Petite 4. Absolutely fabulous service with fancy presentation of fantastic food. \n\nIndigo gives this place 30 stars for adorable mousse in a pineapple and golden spoons that were just her size!",
"Delicious French food, pretty and tasty. Comfortable, convenient location. Prices are reasonable for the high quality food. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff.",
"So thrilled to have gotten lucky enough for a bar seat since it sounds like reservations stacked up quick for Petite 4!! But in so many other cases, I've felt like if I sat at the bar, I'd be receiving distracted/sub-standard service & that \"keep eating, someone else is waiting for this stool\" look from the bartender--not in this case! Co-owner DK greeted us at the door and introduced us to our server who was on top of giving suggestions since I'm new to French cuisine (and pronunciations). Kinda feels like you're sitting at their dining room table at home looking into their kitchen--in a good way! The small location doesn't feel cramped. \n\nWe had two \"low-octane\" cocktails (AMAZING), two of the cheese, prosciutto, & sherry shooters (a fun, small, tasty starter) followed by the shrimp & crab Louis and Le Royal burger with Frites. The Louis was very refreshing & flavorful and the burger was certainly a fork-and-knife undertaking but amazing. So many wild mushrooms. So much cheese. Incredible gravy tying it all together and the mustard & gherkin along the side were the perfect addition.",
"Petite 4 is certainly a nice addition to Boise and the Bench. Our first visit came about a week or so after their opening. The place was popping. While it took awhile to get the the attention of the host, we kindly were offered a spot at the counter for a drink since our table (we had a reservation) was not yet available. The low octane cocktail I had was very nice. The manchego shooter was wonderful. I ordered the mussels and frites for my entree. The size of the bowl needs to be increased as you couldn't access the broth/sauce at the bottom without already eating the majority of the mussels and fries. In fact there was what I would imagine a very tasty piece of bread down at the bottom. But it was too soggy to enjoy by the time I realized it. We will come by again but will give Petite 4 a little while to iron out what I hope are just early stage kinks.",
"What a great experience!! We sat at the bar and had a birdseye view of the kitchen and were able to see all the various dishes as they were prepared. The bartender was extremely attentive, kind and had wonderful words of wisdom about pairings and suggested dishes. \n\nMy husband had the steak special and I had the salmon crepes. Each were delicate and delicious! The dessert of pavlova with strawberry, rhubarb and pistachio was a perfect springtime treat and the chocolate mousse was beautiful paired with a 10 yr port. \n\nThe whole atmosphere was gorgeous, personable and clearly driven by passion. Absolutely recommend!!",
"Off the charts! Superior flavors, hearty portion sizes, creative menu, hip vibe. Allergen indicators on menu would be my only suggestion! Erin, our waitress, was visibly annoyed both times I've visited for having to field my inquiries (celiac, not lifestyle choice). But the warmth and hospitality of the owner and other staff more than made up for her! Amazing addition to Boise and we love that it's off the beaten path.",
"Last night was our 2nd visit to this friendly, cozy restaurant. Our party of 6 was seated promptly and our waitress was very helpful & attentive without hovering. With our drinks we shared a delicious cheese plate followed by my favorite, root vegetable & potato latke with perhaps the best gravlax ever. For our main plates 2 selected the steak special, 2 had the shrimp & crab louie and 2 of us ordered the \"royal with raclette\" - their burger with pommes fries. We were all beyond happy with our choices. In the tradition of their former restaurant, Bleubird, Sarah and Dave exceeded our high expectations. Looking forward to trying Petite 4's brunch.",
"My new favorite restaurant in Boise! Absolutely love everything about this spot. I will be a regular, love the neighborhood as well.",
"I've been patiently waiting for Petite 4 to open, I was a die-hard Bleubird fan and am still so sad they closed. Well the same amazing couple decided to switch things up and open a French-inspired bistro called Petite 4. I was certain I'd love anything they opened and as a plus to a girl who is French obsessed (I lived abroad for a short time in France) I was so excited.\n\nI'll start by saying the restaurant is so adorable. A small restaurant with beautiful decor and every little detail was thought out from the teal paint on the wall to the miss-matched utensils. It is more of a restaurant vs. Lunch spot like Bleubird was. Being small you will definitely need reservations, we had to book a week out for the bar seating for 4 of us. It was a fun spot because you do get to watch them in action in the kitchen.\n\nThe food. We ordered a few different appetizers which were amazing. I think my favorite were the croquettes and the cheese board. I was sad to report I didnt love my Cassoulet I ordered for dinner. I felt it needed a little more seasoning, although you did get a lot for the price and the pork belly hiding in the bottom was tasty. I should have ordered the steak-frites on special that night. I am eager to return and try something else. My friends liked their meals. The chocolate mousse in the cute little gold pineapple was small but very delicious. The wine was amazing as well, I loved the French Rose they had on the menu...probably one of the best I've had. \n\nIt was great seeing these 2 running another great restaurant with smiles on their faces along with everyone else in attendance! I am sure they will work through the menu and find what works after being open a bit longer! I will be back!",
"This is simple country French food, done up a little fancy, with simple treatments that lead to complex flavors. We went with some of the standards on the menu: the baked brie, the roasted beets with a horseradish creme fraiche, salmon crepes, and the cassoulet. All delicious. The specials also looked really good, but I had my heart set on a few standards, so I'll have to try them next time. They also have a nice selection of wines and some old-timey wine cocktails (nice inclusion, because I don't think they have a liquor license for hard alcohol).\n\nThe atmosphere is laid back and casual. The wait staff is extremely attentive, super friendly, and very knowledgeable about their food. Restaurants like this little gem are rare for Boise, but though it's a modest little neighborhood place sitting in a mostly empty strip mall, I think this newcomer has the potential to become a destination restaurant. There's really very little like it in the area. It's a very small, or they would say petite, restaraunt but the team who put this together, front of the house, back of the house, all obviously got their stuff on lock, the place is run tight and does a great job."

"I have eaten Pizza from all over and I still crave imperial. It is not expensive and it has a good taste. Pizza is a simple yet satisfying food and that's exactly what imperial is.",
"Love the sandy bottom. Love the top too.\n\nImperial: It's time to expand and open some locations outside of Secane. \"Go West\" with that sand!",
"Got to say, any time I have a pizza with a corn meal bottom, I think of Imperial. Great stuff!",
"I know, I know everybody has their own pizza they grew up on and it's 'the best' ...but this is is olde school ( sorry for the cliche' but it fits) same as it ever was quality, tasty never ever get tired of pizza. Thin crust, crispy and chewy, with semolina flour, corn meal on bottom (the 'sand') sweet tangy tomato sauce ( if it is from a can it's still damm good) just enough cheese...that's how I like my pie. The topping are good, not overpowering, and fresh. The 'Ulcer' is the everything and I can taste the anchovies just talking about it. Open @ 11a and they have a waiting room next store which is an authentic dive bar. Usually have a pie ready in 2 beers time, but will occasionally take longer if you're having a bad day.",
"in my family, its gaetanos vs imperial. i am all for imperial, its a perfect pizza, i was born and raised in clifton and always had imperial, and then moved to the poconos. they have the worst pizza, whenever we came down here for a visit i would always insist we bring a pie home with us. now im in college and back in clifton, and i get pizza from imperial once a week! best pizza hands down, keep up the good work!",
"Delicious pizzas, generously sized, very inexpensive. \n\nPretty limited menu (only 1 size of pizza available), no frills operation, no eat-in seating, and parking is a bit tricky, but completely worth it. I hardly ever get pizza from anywhere else now. The sausage pizza is especially fantastic. Highly recommend!",
"I hate Delco pizza. Sorry, but I do. I have 4 good places and Imperial is one of them. Pizza is on the thin side with good sauce and cheese - I like to ask for mine \"well done.\" It's always ready to be picked up in 10 minutes! Yes, it has a sandy bottom, but you can request yours to be without. Nice guys who work there.",
"One of the best pies I have ever had. To give Imperial less than a perfect score would be criminal. If this isn't a great pizza, then what is? They prepare their pizza \"New York\" style which means the pie has very thin, floppy slices that emphasize the sauce slightly more than the the cheese. The tomato sauce itself has a much tangier taste to it than I am used to at other pizza joints. The \"sand\" in the bottom of the box always gets everywhere, but it is necessary for the full pie experience. Don't expect many frills with this place except friendly, hometown service and good pizza!",
"The sand pie (pizza) here used to be good and cheap. They've upped the price so it's not the bargain it once was. You have to eat half a sand pie compared to eating just a couple slices of most others pizza to feel full. The cheesesteaks are really skimpy as well so don't bother. If you do order one be advised that they'll charge you extra for hot or sweet peppers, where everywhere else comes with a cheesesteak.",
"Love this place! It's cheap & yummy, light pizza. Most of the pizza around here is too thick and too cheezy and has no sauce. Imperial is light, has a good tasting sauce and doesn't drown their pizza in cheese. I'd rather go here for pizza than any chain in the area. If you like pizza, and you want it light rather than thick crust & loads of cheese, try this place. For $6-$7 you can't beat it. I usually order the pepperoni pizza. Go Imperial!\n4 stars"

"Recently attended a weeding and here. I don't know anything about the price, but it is a pretty nice location and the food was pretty good for a wedding buffet dinner. The location is right off the 101 which is convenient, but it is right next to the railroad tracks and the the trains going by are very loud and obnoxious. The outside seating can get chilly, but they do have heat lamps.Last but certainly, not least...half way through dinner there was an overwhelming odor of sewage that invaded the area for nearly ten minutes.",
"My sister had her wedding here, it's gorgeous! Not much to look at from the outside but inside it's lovely with a beautiful bar and a lovely outside garden dining area. We had the dinner outdoors, beautiful flagstone, white lights in the trees, it looked like a fairyland. Delicious food and very helpful and intelligent staff. Fairly priced for the Santa Barbara area.",
"My cousin had her wedding here the last weekend in July and the place was great. There is plenty of parking out front, so no need to bring cash for the valet. \n\nThe ceremony took place right before sunset and it was spectacular. The staff efficiently converted the space that held the chairs from the ceremony into the dining area. We had dinner under the stars and although it was a bit chilly, they did provide heat lamps. I conveniently switched place seating so that I was right next to one. Lights were strung throughout the trees which added to the romantic setting. \n\nThe food was OK for a sit down dinner, appetizers were better than expected. The open bar helped keep the party going. The dance floor was indoors and the DJ did a really good job all night.",
"My husband and I could not have picked a more amazing place to get married.\n\nJust after we got engaged, my fiance and I were both working two jobs. I was applying to graduate school and the thought of also having to plan a wedding on top of everything else we had going on was daunting, to say the least. When we stumbled upon the Rincon Beach Club, it was like a miracle. The facility already provided the food, the tables, the chairs, the dining ware, the lighting, the sound system, the service and the guidance! To top it all off, the outdoor setting and ambiance is exactly what we were looking for. Perfect for the summer evening wedding we were picturing.\n\nWhen the big day came, Melissa (our on-site coordinator) took care of everything. From coordinating the ceremony to reminding me to eat my dinner, she thought of everything so my new husband and I didn't have to. Her experience and attention to all the details that were important to us made the night exceptional -- for us and all of our guests. Even my impossible-to-please, has-a -critique-for-everything friend said it was the best wedding he had ever been to!\n\nI highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a budget-friendly venue in the Santa Barbara area that caters to the patrons that need more than a little help planning an event. Their reputation throughout Santa Barbara is well known for having delicious food and excellent service. If I had to plan my wedding all over again, I'd still choose the Rincon Beach Club as my venue.",
"We had our wedding at the Santa Barbara Zoo and had Rincon cater it. Every rental item, from the dance floor, to the lighting was taken care of by Rincon. \n\nAngie was our planner and she was excellent!!! She made it so easy on us and we never stressed out about anything! The Zoo is an amazing venue for a wedding- it has a lovely tropical garden and an ocean view. The crowds leave in the afternoon and the Zoo is private for your wedding guests to enjoy. The Zoo only permits Rincon Catering to cater for them and they do a great job. They think of all the details that busy brides overlook (trust me, I am an anal planner and even I forgot some things that Angie luckily had already thought of). She helped us plan our menu, made sure I ate dinner at the reception, and helped with every vendor and every detail. I can't say enough good things!!!",
"I was lucky enough to be able to attend my buddy Reid Y.'s wedding here this past weekend and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!\n\nEvery detail about it was wonderful and I even told my friends it felt like a fairy tale wedding. \n\nFrom the outside you wonder where you're going because all you see is a BBQ joint and a surf shop but in between those is a little door and once you step in you are taken to a gorgeous area where there was a bar set up, couches and tables to lounge at, a fireplace and then the ceremony set up was perfect. At night it turns into a magical place with lights everywhere. \n\nThere is also an indoor area for dinner and dancing. Speaking of dinner, the food was AMAZING!! Probably one of the best foods I've eaten at a wedding. The appetizers they passed around were seriously addicting and then the food stations were delicious, gourmet sliders anyone? \n\nI really loved the whole atmosphere of this wedding, not stuffy at all, very chill and I can't say it enough, gorgeous :-)\n\nCongrats Reid!!",
"My reviews are always stupid and have nothing to do with the food or anything. But this time, I have to be straight forward. This place rocks! I did the unthinkable this past weekend and took the plunge. What was I thinking? Oh, that's right, I wasn't. First off, our coordinator Melissa was freaking awesome. I think I have ADD, and she was patient enough to put up with it. The staff and customer service here is outstanding. The bartender even saved the last Coors light for me. Everything pretty much went as planned and I thought it was perfect. Our ceremony was outside and was set up perfectly. I wish I knew how to download some pictures from facebook to post, but I'm too stupid to do it. \n\nOur photographer Cherry Thomas kicked ass. I totally dug her style. After the ceremony, she took us to the beach and took some nice shots right on the beach and also on the train tracks adjacent to the beach. \n\nAs for the reception, we chose something called hors dinner, which was basically all you can eat hors d'ourves for 2.5 hours. I think most of the people enjoyed it. My favorites were the Kobe beef sliders. Open bar? For sure. Beer and wine was free, all other drinks you had to pay for. \n\nCerritos All Stars were the DJs. They did a dope job. Thanks Mike and Ben. \n\nI also hired Rockstar Shuttle to take people back and forth from the reception to the hotels. We didn't want anyone driving drunk. They were great and very affordable. \n\nI know this review was supposed to be only for the Rincon Beach club, but I couldn't help it and had to write all about the experience and everyone that participated. \n\nSpecial thanks to Smitcha B, Michelle T, and Lea D for taking the trip out to share this special day with us. You guys are awesome.",
"We loved the Rincon Beach Club!!!!! This venue is Top Notch. We had our wedding reception here and Melissa Sylvester was our coordinator. From the very beginning Melissa was very accommodating, attentive, and friendly. She helped us develop decor, menus, and general feel of the wedding and recommended great vendors. The grounds were always immaculately kept and the service staff was always working hard to make everything easy on us. They took care of everything. We never could have made it through the day without you Melissa.\n\nThanks,\n\nMarshall & Nikki",
"just went to my friends wedding here. wow this place was sooo sooo beautiful. what a wonderful location. i loved their outdoor fireplace along with the couches and other seating outside, it felt like an outdoor living room. as it got darker the outdoor lantern lights created such a romantic atmosphere! she picked a pretty awesome spot! 2 thumbs up for sure!!",
"Two years later and I'm finally getting around to writing this. Rincon Beach did the catering for our wedding in 2009. It was an offsite event, and there is not a bad thing I can say about them. Marc (the owner) came out to our ranch (the venue) and we sat down and discussed everything. He put my dad's mind at ease about the financial part of the wedding. We worked with Melissa through out the entire planning process and she was such a delight. I felt like she was one of my friends by the end of the process. \n\nWe decided to add the ceremony planning package (I'm an event planner so I didn't want to be doing ANY planning during my own wedding). This was by far the best decision we made. Unfortunately Melissa couldn't be at our wedding. Which was OK, she kindly handed over her assistant Jaime. Jaime was just as great as Marc and Mel. I felt like I didn't think about anything about my husband the day of. I would look at Jaime and she would just tell me what to do. In a very kind and not pushy way. She was perfect. \n\nThat's my review on their service...now let me get to the food!\n\nPeople are STILL raving about the food. We had a steak, fish and veggie option. All of which I heard were amazing. Of course I didn't eat much, but I had the steak and it was perfect! One of my vegetarian friends said it was the veggie option she had ever had at a wedding. \n\nMy favorite part was the appetizers. Since we were taking photos during the cocktail and appetizer portion of the event. The caterings staff brought the head tables large plates of appetizers so we could try them. I have never seen this at an event, and I thought it was brilliant. This goes back to their wonderful service! My friends still rave about the chicken won tons. \n\nAll in all...Rincon is the BEST. Thank you for making our wedding perfect! I honestly don't have a single complaint....and I'm pretty picky."

"This is the only place to get real bubble tea( not the powder). And it's to the standards of the other Mr.Wish's. I recommend the 50% sugar and ice. There is another bubble tea place in the mall but it is not good or real. This one is located closer to the food court by Cheesecake Factory. And it used to be the Japanese candy store( still is but mr.wish is franchised there).\n\nNow there is no need to travel to Philly for that bubble tea fix!",
"Really was craving bubble tea and realized there's no bubble tea place at KOP HOWEVER they just had a grand new opening at KOP and I'm super excited that there's a bubble tea place here. We got the special of the day which tasted super fresh as if they squeezed the fruit out (doesn't taste powdery at all). Also got the pearl milk tea. The bubbles are super soft and chewy and taste like they were freshly made. All in all I love mr wish. It's prob one of the top best bubble tea place on the east coast ^___^",
"So excited there's finally good bubble tea in the western suburb now! The fruit teas are awesome and the bubbles are the best",
"My first time to try the colorful fruit tea and it was awesome!! It was refreshing and I like that it had 6 different real fruits inside. I also had the milk bubble tea. It was the BEST milk tea in my life. I'm used to go to Kungfu tea and Teado a lot when I lived in the city but Mr. Wish's milk tea beats them all. The milk tea is made from non-power, real tea + milk, and the bubbles are so soft and semi-sweet to the perfect level. I'm so happy that there is a good bubble tea place in KOP area now!!! I personally like 60% sugar level with light ice.",
"We'd heard about this opening recently at the KOP mall, and my wife had tried it a few days ago, so we decided to stop in after a walk at Valley Forge. It's pretty close to the mall entrance near Cheesecake Factory, and it's a nice little space. No real place to sit and drink the bubble tea, but cute shop with a section with lots of Asian snacks. There's not as much variety of choice of tea here compared to other bubble tea places, but it's largely because they focus on using fresh fruit in their teas, and don't use powders.\n\nThe tea is definitely tasty, though a bit on the pricey side. My wife got a cold mango tea with sago, and I got a hot ginger milk tea. The mango tea was very refreshing and light, and the ginger milk tea was really great for a chilly day. It wasn't super hot, so I could drink it through a straw. I probably wouldn't have minded it being hotter, but it was delicious. I would totally get that again, or try another ginger tea...",
"Pretty good bubble tea. It's not too sweet, with a lot of authentic flavor offerings such as red bean or pudding or tapioca, and even smoothies and fruit teas if you're not feeling the boba vibe! They have a location in center city Chinatown as well. I would stick with the classic black milk tea + whatever topping you want if you're a first time boba drinker. (The red bean one is a little bit to suck up if you don't have any tea left so, drink appropriately) Feel free to expand afterwards! Being able to control how much sugar you want is also a great way to watch out for your health and experiment with how much sugar you actually like.\n\nI would definitely come back! It's worth it.",
"I have to start off saying that I am so thankful that a real quality bubble tea place has opened up in King of Prussia mall! Mr. wish isn't my personal favorite but is still very good.\n\nLOCATION: This location is on the side of the mall closer to the Cheesecake Factory, on the first floor. There is limited seating as it's mostly a order + pick up spot. \n\nDRINK: I ordered a \"wow! Pearl milk tea\" which is your basic black milk tea with bubbles. I asked for 30 % sugar and it was still plenty sweet! The bubbles are soaked in sugar so it adds sweetness on its own. The drink is more on the milky side but still delicious. I think they use a dairy free milk for their drinks. The bubbles had a great texture, which is very important.\n\nThey use a machine that spits out sugar depending on the % you choose so it's more consistent, which is great!",
"It was okay. I had better. The signature bubble tea they have is too bland but the tapioca taste fresh though. It was a good size.",
"Edit: i went and tried the matcha milk tea and that one i liked very much. \n\nIt was okay. I had better. The signature bubble tea they have is too bland but the tapioca taste fresh though. It was a good",
"The service was great and everyone was friendly. Everything on the menu looked good but I decided on the Colorful Fruit Tea which was about $5.00 but seriously worth every penny. It was so refreshing and delicious. It was sweet but not overly sweet. I wish we had this place in Jersey but that would be very dangerous for me because I'd never leave."

"P&B Diner is a typical South Jersey diner. They offer discounts for students since they're near Rowan Univ. It's typical So. Jersey diner fare, and the service is as you'd expect in such a place. Reliable, not amazing. For those of us who grew up here, places like this are comforting.",
"I always liked PB's when I was a student at Rowan. I didn't get to eat there as much as I would have liked because it is a little out of a student's price range (this place is more of a restaurant than a diner). PB's was always reserved for when family was visiting and someone else was footing the bill. They have good food and a bar so it's a good place to go for a meal and a glass of wine at reasonable prices. Best wine I ever had actually from PB's. It was real crisp citrus white. Wish I could remember what it was. Nummy desserts too!",
"This was the go-to diner when I was in college because it was very close and gave student discounts. I still live in the area and have been to visit this dinner every now and then, usually when a group of friends decides to meet there. I agree with the statement that PB's has 'typical diner fare'. The reason I give it 2 stars instead of 3 is because of a few meals that I had were below expectations. I had crab cakes that were about 99% filler. I wasn't expected anything outstanding, but some real crab would have been nice. The other disappointment was the pumpkin pancakes I had this fall. They were a bit greasy with a funny taste. Service varies from adequate to below par. Last visit, my group was sat at a table that was sticky.\n\nPB's is set up with a room in the back that can hold group functions so it would be a good place to get a group of people together for a meeting.",
"Solid food at decent prices. Service was usually pretty friendly; you'd get your occasional crusty diner waitress but normally it all went smoothly.\n\nThe atmosphere is pretty quiet; a lot of the clientele seems to be senior citizens. I enjoy this because it means that I can actually hear myself think!",
"You like cream chipped beef? Search the world over and you'll find P & B has the best. Sigh... too bad I now live 3,000 miles away.",
"PB's diner has been going through a lot of reconstruction over the years, but I'm definitely happy with the end result. The one side is great for the family to come and eat and the other side is great for hanging out with friends and watching the game. I went here with my family and had the penne pesto with sundried tomatoes which was absolutely delicious and vegan / vegetarian friendly. I'd definitely recommend PBs to anyone. The dinners will cost about $10-$16 each, but it is worth it. The portions are huge, so one entree can definitely feed two people.",
"We had been going for years but since the redo it has really gone down. We tried to use a 15% off coupon on a 30.00 dollar bill.The cashier took it to the manager and she said just take 2.00 off. We corrected her that it would be about 4.50 and she started yelling at us for correcting her! We tried to say we knew it was incorrect but she yelled again that she did not like being corrected! I have never been treated like that in a business. Will never go back!",
"Never have written a review before but it was so bad that I am compelled to. Everything is so greasy, I went with a $25 gift card and wish I had just thrown it out rather than using it. Absolutely horrendous.",
"PB's recently renovated half their restaurant into a tavern. Had a chance to go a few times, so wanted to share thoughts.\n\nThe pluses - great beer menu. Lots of good craft brews and maybe the best prices in the area. They have good happy hours specials ($1 off crafts, half price apps), as well as similar specials during Flyers/Phillies games. They show the MMA fights if you're into that, too. The beer selection is solid, not spectacular, and worth going in for a good pint. Atmosphere on the bar side is good, though the TVs are not in the ideal spot for watching games.\n\nThe minuses - Food is okay. I think they're still trying to revamp the apps and bring them up to better bar food quality. Service is a little slow at the tables, and I've had to go to the bar to get drinks rather than wait for servers sometimes. The last time I was there, they were setting up a live band literally on top of our table, and we had to push it back. Needless to say, it got loud when they started playing. The space is pretty small for live music, and they might consider doing away with that for awhile, and sticking with the quieter tavern/sports bar/overhead radio music.\n\nIt's definitely worth going to, if just to support them as they continue with the transition. I would encourage them to keep revamping the apps/bar menu, e.g., burgers, wings, etc. We will definitely continue to go back, and it provides a nice, well priced alternative to other local spots.",
"I went to PB's for breakfast and it was good. It was about that of your regular diner. I had a breakfast sandwich in a bagel with American cheese and bacon. Services was also very helpful and friendly. Overall it was definitely good."

"\"Banh mi\"- Vietnamese sandwich is the best. There are several type of sandwich you can choose to go with the same bread which also smell incredible and not not for your gum like any other places. Price is super reasonable too. Come try them out",
"This place is amazing! My friends and I bought 5 different bahn mis so we could try them all out. The Lemongrass Tofu bahn mi is my favorite: crusty bread, warm fried tofu with a spicy sauce, and of course plenty of cilantro, shredded carrots and cucumber. They have a bunch of pastries too: egg custard tarts, meat pies, and this crazy sweet cake and onion roll. The lady that works there is very kind and will educate you on what everything is. Also it is very affordable. Not all of the prices are listed but the bahn mis are like $3.50.",
"The owner is super nice and friendly! And she makes the best banh my, banh cuon, and sweet tofu in Nashville!",
"Very authentic Vietnamese food! Banh Mi is great!\n\nDon't forget to try Sugar Cane juice, Vietnamese egg tarts (this one is crazily good), and Pho!!\n\nAnd their roasted duck is out of this world!",
"They are finally open again after being closed since January. I love their Banh mi and Pho. It is very authentic and savory. They also have Bun Bo Hue and other special entrees on certain days. The Banh mi was around $3 each and small bowl of Pho was around $6 something. I will definitely return!!",
"Have not had a chance to try yet because each time I've gone they've either been out of the tofu bahn mi or closed and I'm a vegetarian. Everything else is beef or pork. But Tofu is in the name",
"4 stars for the banh mi, 3 stars for the pho. \n\nThe banh mi is SO GOOD. The baguette is flaky, there's a good meat to veggie ratio, and it just melts in your mouth. I got the banh mi thit nuong (grilled pork banh mi) and I think about that meal alllll the time. It was only around $3 too!! A steal for Vietnamese food in Nashville.\n\nThe pho didn't leave a good impression. It didn't really leave an impression at all. I didn't think the broth was as flavorful as it sound be (it was a little sweet) and even tasted slightly watered down. But it was good to kick any cravings, and the side of banh mi made it 10x better. Definitely want to come back and try their boba!",
"Been craving for banh uot and I honestly must say it's pretty good...I just wish the have varieties of stuffing but meat will do just fine for now. Their sandwiches is pretty good besides the pickles being a little sweet for me....sugar cane was yummy and banh batexo was definitely good, it tastes fresh and the seasoning was perfect.",
"I have to begin by saying I didn't eat any of the food here. I had boba craving and the closest one was here. As soon as I entered the place I was kind of skeptical because food was just laying out in the open like banh chung. I ordered 3 boba drinks (mango, strawberry and coconut); I drank the mango and WOW. It was so fresh. I joked with my friend that the lady who made it must have gone and picked the fruits herself. GET THEIR BOBA. You won't regret it!",
"My favorite place in Nashville. Best Vietnamese. Nicest people. Everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious- pho, bahn mi (my favorite is lemongrass tofu), and the bahn cuon (rice rolls) are amazing. And their drinks are bomb too, especially the nuoc rau ma and the nuoc sam. Can't say enough good things about this place!"

"If this were a chain, Sonny's would be out of business! I've done BBQ all up and down I95 from Va to Fl. I'm reminded of past familiar joints in the woods and little towns as I approach Eli's. But then comes the BBQ smell! \n\nImagine going up to a very small two room house, ordering from a little screened window, then picking it up from another window, and sitting down at a picnic table right by the little gravel parking lot to chow down....on some of the best BBQ around! Ribs, pulled pork, beef, chicken, and sausage available to knock you off your feet. ( I am salivating now just thinking about it!) The baked beans are awesome and different, not too sweet but gives off a good twang! \n\nThe prices are so decent! This is the Que without the frills. The real deal smoked from Eli's own Big Foot grill in a screened shack behind the little serving house. This place is the bomb and you have to visit to believe it. The bad news is that it's only open on Friday and Saturdays from 11am to 6pm. \n\nI must add that Eli, his family, and friends are good people. It's easy to come by, get your Que on, and become part of the party! You also see by the fast moving lines and carry out orders that so many patrons are in agreement on the taste of Eli's! Do yourself a big treat and get there!",
"Just get in line, no matter how long it is. The line moves at the kitchen's pace and the food is worth every minute in line. Eli's is only open Friday and Saturdays so I've been there two days for lunch. The pork is outstanding. Get the dinner and save a dollar if you want cold slaw and bean sides.",
"Great BBQ! Ribs are really good and the sauce is amazing and offered at a very reasonable price. Eli's has a very down-home feeling to it. All seating is outdoors on wooden picnic tables situated in the shade of mature Oaks. One complaint I have is the flies. They have cleverly set up a few fly traps here and there, but flies are flies and they just keep coming. Also, I wish there was an area to wash my hands after I ate. They supplied some hand sanitizer by the sauces, but BBQ is sticky, smokey business and sometimes only soap and water can make you feel clean again, especially on a hot Florida day. All in all I would recommend this little place to anyone who loves and appreciates real BBQ.",
"I can't believe there are only a handful of reviews for Eli's. This is the real deal- amazing pork, great brisket, chicken and sides. Get in line and enjoy the wait--every bite of what you buy will make it worth your while!",
"Great BBQ located near downtown Dunedin and right off the Pinellas trail. I had the pork sandwich dinner that comes with slaw and beans. My order was ready fast, the slaw was great and crisp, beans were tasty, and the pork was awesome. Flavorfull and a few crisp bites that tasted bacon-y. The mild sauce was delicious. Much better than the BBQ I tried in Memphis and South Carolina. If you're in Dunedin on Fri/Sat from 11-6 don't miss Eli's!",
"The ribs and sausage are both amazing. I live a couple of blocks from here and the smell of their smoker cooking is so tempting. Their sides are great. The people are friendly. It is definitely a stop along the Pinellas Trail",
"This is a local secret and I am hesitant to even put how fine it is out there. This is not a business, this is a passion. That is why the hours are so limited. It is not about making money, it is about making unbelievable BBQ. The homemade sausage is my favorite. They do it the old way even to chopping the wood themelves. Get yourself some but don't tell everyone.",
"The rating system is based on the total experience and not the food alone, so Eli's gets a 3 from us. \n\nWe rolled up to Eli's yesterday because we saw the reviews below and were in the mood to fill out guts with some smokey BBQ goodness. It only took us about 20 minutes to get there from the Westchase area, so the commute wasn't bad. When we got there, we were pleased with the site of a massive smoker in the back of the eatery. The smell of various smoked meats was thick in the air; it was a thing of beauty. The building was very quaint and small, so we were wondering how many people could possible fit inside to cook AND eat. We got the answer as we thought we were walking to the entrance and found an order window. It was at that time that we realized it was outdoor seating only. The weather was nice and the eating area was shaded by some oak trees, so we were okay with it. We got 3 pulled pork sammiches, 2 orders of baked beans, 1 order of slaw, 2 sodas and a water; the bill came to $19, so the price was right. It only took about 5 minutes for our food to be prepared--another plus. \n\nWhat happened next is what brought our rating to a quick 3. We've done a lot of outdoor eating, but never... NEVER have we seen such abundant fly activity, especially at a restaurant. We literally had to fight off swarms of flies for each bite we took. I was really sad because the food was excellent. The pork was probably the most tender I've ever had. It didn't have the best smoked flavor, but according to la chica, \"It melts in your mouth.\" The slaw was great, the beans were good (not the best, but good) and the portions were sufficient for a lunchtime meal. But those freakin' FLIES! \n\nFellow Yelpies, if you go here, get your order to go and grub down someplace safe and far removed from the fly mob at Eli's. The food is worth eating, but just at another locale.\n\nP.S. CASH ONLY!",
"Sad to say very average. I have been told for years to check them out on my visits but always missed going because their hours are so limited. The meat tasted like it was cooked in an oven a few days ago. No smoke flavor and not tender. Pass.",
"You will not find better 'cue anywhere. Only wish Eli was open every day of the week!"

"Emil, thank you for having the faith and foresight to place Texas Roadhouse in our area. We have been three times since it opened a week ago. We have been at different times of the day and the service has always been the same...friendly, welcoming, enthusiastic and very efficient!! If there is a problem, it gets taken care of quickly. \n\nWe have had something different each time and they all have been very good. The hot rolls are taken with the hostess when you are seated. They are yummy!! The early bird specials are not small portions. The amount of BBQ pork that my wife had tonight was a very generous helping. \n\nIt was the first week and we have had a great bunch of people who have served us. Thanks to all the staff who came from the other stores to help out. Thanks to Gabby, Demi, Ashley, Cody, John(computer) for your hard work and the smiles throughout. \n\nThe staff is a combination of ages and experience levels. Even the new ones are on top of things. Many thanks, I am sure, go to Amanda for the \"extra loving\" that she gives to the new servers.\n\nLara, thank you soooooooo much for the welcome you gave us and the conversation when you seated my wife and I. James, thank you for keeping on top of that order and making sure it got done right. Kerby, thanks for the service tonight, you scored with the lemons!! Tina, you are AMAZING! Cat, sorry you had to leave the party. Rita, where were you tonight?\n\nWe highly recommend Texas Roadhouse in St Pete!! Emil and the gang, thank you all for blessing us!!!",
"Family of 11 went to celebrate a birthday. Met Emil, very nice, runs a great staff. Our service was very nice. The \"saddle up\" was fun. Everyone enjoyed their food and the sangria was fantastic!\n\nThe reason for my low rating is this: soy bean oil used in everything! Oil and vinegar salad dressing? Have you ever heard of using soy bean oil??? How about the Caesar Salad? Yep, made with soybean oil! Have they never heard of people being allergic to soy??? It greatly reduced the choices on the menu for me, thus it greatly reduced my enjoyment of dining at this restaurant.\n\nStill enjoyed the occasion, but with a round trip of 47 miles, I will definitely steer the group to a better quality restaurant.",
"Was very disappointed. The filet medallion was not good, served on a bed of not very good rice. Fresh vegetables consisted of cold carrot and broccoli.\nVery poor wine selection. First and last visit to this Texas Roadhouse.",
"We went for first time last night. Arrived about 4:30 and sat at the bar, which was empty. However, within a half hour it was packed! As was the entire restaurant with a lot of people waiting outside! The staff is terrific! Our bartenders, Rob and Alexis, were the best! Great service and so happy and friendly! I had the Boneless Buffalo wings which were fantastic! My husband had a cheeseburger and loved it! We will definitely be back!!",
"The staff was amazingly attentive and personable. They really paid attention to the allergy needs of my children which really put my mind at ease. Was not cheap but it was worth it. A great evening!",
"Service and hostess 5 star. Rolls, also 5 star. Food, below average, outback much better for the same price. Filet just ok. Restaurant is loud. No rush to come back.",
"Not even in the top 3 steak joints in St Pete. Didn't get appetizer it was forgotten and out of prime rib at 7pm. Salty mushrooms and the other sides were mediocre at best. Severs dance.....yay a show. Get my apps.",
"Went for the first time last night. Had filet medallions. They were ok.. Rice bed was pretty good and the candied sweet potato was bomb. Probably the best thing of the whole meal honestly. Steer clear from the Margaritas though server informed us that they are 18oz with 1oz of liquor... \"we are a restaurant with a bar not a bar with a restaurant!\" as she informed us. Which we were grateful for since my hubby would have 100% ordered one and not been happy about it! I however did order a glass of wine, 2 glasses.. & 8.49 each! I have no problem paying but sheesh do they think they are E&E Stakeout? I don't even think They charge that high a price for their wine by the glass. Overall, ok experience. Server could have definitely been more attentive. Another server brought our check n box. As well as my second glass of wine, which sat on the bar for 5 minutes as she walked past it numerous times. Finally the bartender noticed I was watching and brought it over himself (bravo) not sure if we'll be back soon but my hub enjoyed his filet so most likely eventually but we most certainly won't be drinking!",
"Great food! Pork chop tender and juicy...gravy and mashed potatoes were outstanding....I love mashed potatoes and consider them to be a very important side! Service was great and Rita our waitress was super accommodating...Will go back often.",
"If there was a no star that's what I would have rate this place. I ordered a porterhouse, medium. The steak came to me very well done and dry. Waiter took it back and I wanted 25 mins for another steak, when it came out in was cold. She took insisted on taking back again to warm it up, of course it came back hot on the outside and cold on the inside. At which point I decided Maybe the cook was having a bad day and decided to not have my meal here ever again. I did feel bad for the waiter and tip her 15 bucks for trying, however, I will never eat here again."

"Pros:\n*FAAABULOUS Food\n*Tables Outside- great for people watching\n* Lots of healthy/gourmet ingredients that aren't commonly available\n* My Dear Sainted Mother is Mostly Vegetarian, and Loves It;\n* Atmosphere- menu on chalkboard, and you can watch them make your chow (if it's not too crowded).\n* Fresh, and interesting baked goods\n\n\nCons:\n* TOO Many Choices! Hard to choose\n* It can get a little claustrophobic in there, either while waiting, or if you're trying to eat, and people are bumping your table.\n* Parking. It's REALLY easy to get a ticket in Doylestown.\n* It's hard to find their web site, and harder to print their menu from it. This would give me more time to figure out what I want without holding up the line. :)",
"We've been fans since they first opened. They've definitely got staying power.",
"Great little restaurant/takeout in the middle of town. If you're in the mood for a great sandwich, soup or salad, with a little dessert thrown in ;-) this is the place - limited but cozy indoor seating area if you want to grab a quick bite by yourself or watch the world go by outside. \nBe warned: peak lunchtime is hectic as this is a popular place for takeout. There's no table service; place your order at the counter and fetch it yourself when it's up. Closed for dinner.\nAlso recommend the Lambertville location",
"The best sandwhich place in the area! We are somtimes are lucky enough to get a spread for lunch from my employeer and it is amazing.",
"Lilly is a maven of the restaurant biz, and this is her first place (to my knowledge) before she went and branched out to Tex-Mex, Southern BBQ and more formal (see Cafe America, Smokin Lil's, and Lilly's on the Canal).\n\nThe sandwiches are inventive and their names are all Singer/Songwriter inspired. The soups and salads are solid, and always a nice option to add on to your meal. There is always a nice specials board- with a daily sandwich, panini, salad, and \"spa plate.\"\n\nOne downside to this eat-in sandwich shop is that it is so popular that it does take awhile to have lunch there. Even if I call in an order I often have to wait for my order to come up.\n\nLastly, on Fridays and Saturdays Lily's becomes a quaint BYOB with more substantial plates.",
"I have worked in Doylestown for a few years now and am definitely a fan of all of Lily's restaurants. They all have great food and some of the best desserts in town. Now, I do find them to be a little pricey on some things, especially the desserts, but not too outrageous for Doylestown. They are very popular so do set aside a good chunk of time at Lily\ns or Cafe America. Smokin Lil's is never a bad wait in my experience.",
"Truly fabulous place for lunch. Menu changes weekly and the spa plate is always great! Their house salad is a must order and delicious.",
"Oh, yum. I eat here a few days a week. This is the lunch staple for so many who work in D'town. For a couple more bucks than other salad/sandwich shops, you are getting wonderfully fresh ingredients combined in classic and creative ways. \n\nThe bread they use is excellent, and the deli case is full of seasonal delicious salads and veggies. The menu can be a little overwhelming because it is so vast, but the sandwiches and salads stay the same, and there are about 8 or 9 daily specials. I love the allman brothers sandwich, and the tuna on the bon jovi is high quality but the sandwich is difficult to navigate. Gazpacho is a winner. The monstrous cookies at the counter will feed you for three days, but at $3 it better. Free ice cold water and delicious iced tea.\n\nHeads up: the wait can be long (20 minutes at lunch), so call ahead if you want to save some time. Smokin' Lil's is not bad, and Cafe America is just as yummy and fresh. (Same kitchen, I think).",
"order ahead to avoid waiting in line. My fav is the robin williams wrap!",
"Chocolate decadence dessert is so dense, rich, and chocolatey it satisfied my chocolate craving immediately. It's not overly sweet and the texture is verrry smooth!"

"Not sure why this place \"moved\". Perhaps for a fresh start on Yelp? Anyways, I will play ball. \n\nI've been enjoying the bakery items lately. In this area it is hard to find a good bakery for when you need desserts. 10 miles away maybe, but with the hideous construction project right in front of this place, it's not so easy to justify driving past this place to go elsewhere for, at best, an inferior product.\n\nHaving some important guests visit soon from a place where good diners do not exist. This is the place I plan to take them to. I consider it my go-to diner. \n\nP.s. Customer service has been tops the last year or so. There were complaints earlier, but I'm not really seeing it. Plus,these guys service a bazillion customers every day, so 2 or 3 complaints of rudeness don't account for much in my book.",
"Visiting the Philly area and asked a friend where a good Diner could be found. Food at our table was very good- and abundant. I was impressed by the ambience of a 50's diner with gleaming chrome and booth juke boxes. Prices were reasonable.",
"I love this diner! Open late, my mother and I stop off sometimes after Parx. Night manager always recognizes us even if it's been months, and late-night service is always fabulous. The chipped beef with eggs is enough to split between two people and delicious! Also, the baked goods are a great to-go on your way out!",
"I frequent this diner and the food is good. However, last night I ordered take out and noticed they charged me a 1.00$ extra for a take out container, .90 cents extra for take out, and another .90 cents for a service charge??? Then had the nerve to put at the bottom what a tip should be!! When I asked the host, he replied with \"Yes, we charge for takeout\". My response was \" Well that's ashame cause that extra $2.80 was the servers tip. That's MY service charge! Next time I'll just go to Georgines Jr.",
"Typical diner fare. Layout similar to most of the Philly and south jersey diners. Menu options were nice.\n\nWent with the Roast port sandwich with broccoli rabe. They brought it without long hots which just wasn't going to work for me. Luckily they were able to get some for me and I did really enjoy the sandwich.",
"I would not recommend this place. Our hamburgers were over cooked and dry, we asked for medium rare. The rolls were toasted and burnt, they were dry as hell. The tomatoes were not ripe, green and hard. Should have fresh Jersey tomatoes, they are right next door to New Jersey. The only nice thing I can say is our waitress was very nice, if you could over look the giant herpes sores on her mouth!!!",
"I want to start off with the fact that I've been here multiple times. The first time, everything was great, it was around lunch, the service was fantastic, the food was fantastic and I decided to make it my go to diner. The second time I brought my mother and she ordered a cheese quesadilla, when it came out it was just slices of cheese ONTOP of a folded tortilla, we spoke to the manager about it who told us we were wrong about wanting to order something different. So today I decided to give this place ONE last chance. Came in with my boyfriend and kids. We ordered two Reuben's. One pastrami, one corn beef and we split them as we always have. The kids ordered typical kids meals. When our food came out the Rye was completely under toasted and the fries were not well done. As a server myself I know that the cooks don't always listen to what the ticket said. One of the kids meals was completely over cooked, and the other was under cooked! (Roasted turkey under cooked, chicken fingers over cooked) The manager/host came up to the stand (which was directly behind us) and started coughing very loudly. I turned around to make sure he was ok and he's facing my table and coughing without covering his mouth! At that point I had enough! I politely asked our waitress for a box & the check. When I went up to pay the same manager/host was there to cash me out, didn't even ask how everything was just grabbed the money out of my hand! The entire time I was there the manager/host was yelling at the busser about cleaning tables; from what I saw the busser moved very quickly and there was only one busser from what I saw so yelling at him was uncalled for especially in front of guests! He also yelled across the restaurant several times for \"Ashley\" to come get a beer for another server, instead of just walking his lazy a** the 5 feet to the table it needed to go to! And last but not least, the manager gave me and the kids a dirty look and scoffed when one of the children asked if he could go give our server her tip, which is completely uncalled for and unprofessional! I told him yes but he needed to wait until she was done at the table, which he did. He then waited for her by our table and handed her the tip and smiled. She was very polite to all 4 of us and addressed any and all concerns we had! I'd suggest my server find a job elsewhere, she was absolutely fantastic and the ONLY reason I'm even giving 1 star! I will NEVER be back unless the management changes!!!!! I have been a server for over 10 years now so I know what is expected out of servers, bussers & management and this manager was by far one of the WORST I've ever seen in any restaurant! So to the lovely server with the bandana headband; GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! You're a great server and plenty of restaurants would be lucky to have you as a part of their company!",
"This may be my new favorite diner. Our server, Colleen, could not be better. As diners go, the food is excellent.",
"I was here last Sunday with another adult and two children. We ordered way too much food, but we just couldn't decide among all the offerings. One kid had lovely chicken fingers & fries; the other kids had gorgeously browned mac & cheese. I ordered my favorite chef salad expecting to share with the other adult. It is huge with really nice beef, ham & turkey NOT cheap cold cuts & my favorite romaine not head lettuce. My friend ordered a mushroom, spinach and feta omelette with large fresh mushrooms. We were amazed at the golden brown hash browns! One of the kids asked for a chicken quesadilla that we all tasted. It was perfect! Somehow a nice plate of cheese bread & cinnamon bread landed in the table. We are like we were starving & still took home a ton of food. Everything was delicious. We ended up in the bakery.. Kids wanted chocolate covered strawberries & I bought Italian wedding cookies to take home. Oink oink!\n\nI've been to this diner many times & it is always good. This meal was off the charts! I wish I asked the server's name; she was so good I told the boss!",
"The prices are way too high and they won't include coffee or juice with your breakfast. They also won't allow a military discount or any other discount unless you pay cash. 5 people for breakfast was 72$$ I'll never go to this place again I only did because all the other places in town were packed and now I see why"

"What happens when you you put a faux country gift shop/restaurant near a busy highway and you add rocking chairs on the front \"porch\"? You get mediocre comfort food and service in a large noisy room with a less than clean floor. Surprising thing is I have never been to one that wasn't crowded. Go figure. This one in White House was no exception. So why did I go? It was conveniently located and I was hungry.",
"Cracker Barrel is always a good choice. My entire family loves it. We always see our friends there and the servers are very friendly. Its just like country home cooking should be!",
"This is one of those places that is loaded with comfort food.. nothing here is very good for you.. but that isn't why you stopped. We made it to the barrel a few weeks ago while on the road.. it was good, what you would expect. If you are hungry, stop by - they are nice, happy and the joint is clean.. thank you!",
"I LOVE Cracker Barrels in general. This location was okay when it first opened a few years ago, but the service and food is pretty bad lately. The Rivergate location and the Music Valley Drive locations are so much better. I recommend the Riverate Cracker Barrel as this is a well established location with great food and service.",
"Megan is Fantastic manager! It was a busy Sunday and our food took a while to come out. Our server Schuyler was very attentive and they handled the situation beautifully! Awesome experience and great food!",
"Stopping at a Cracker Barrel has become my family's traditional stop whenever we travel. So we stopped for lunch. We didn't have to wait for a table which shocked me because I'm convinced they force you to wait so you shop in the gift store. The catfish was wonderfully cooked and tender. One of my better visits to a Cracker Barrel.",
"Cracker Barrel use to be a great place to eat but the last 4 or 5 times I've been here for breakfast I have received such a small portion of eggs I could pick the entire portion up with a single spoon this was supposed to be 2 eggs and unless they are using quail eggs they are cutting corners way to much for what they charge.",
"Fantastic. Carie was very attentive. Great good and service. Manager was out talking to guests!",
"This Cracker Barrel is always good whenever we go there. Food is always really good and every server I encounter there is super! I like this Cracker Barrel best out of all the ones in the area!",
"Repeatedly get to-go orders wrong, even when placed during off-peak hours, and even if I check the bag while I'm there and ask them to correct their mistake, my food is cold by the time they bring out the missing item(s). While dining in, I received a \"well done\" bacon cheeseburger that was so pink in the middle, I couldn't stomach eating it. I still get sick to my stomach thinking about it... And today, I tried to call in a to-go order, and I was placed on hold for 12 minutes. I finally hung up, thinking they'd forgotten about me. I've waited a couple minutes and called back, but their line is busy since their phone is now off the hook. I'll be going to another Cracker Barrel from now on. Very disappointing. :/"

"India Palace is my favorite Indian food of all time. Their paneer masala is some of the best I've ever had. The nav ratan shashi korma is also quite tasty! Also, don't miss a perfect vegetable pakora with delightfully spicy onion chutney.\n\nThey have a really great lunch buffet with several good vegetarian choices. This is a great place to come and try Indian food for the first time. \n\nDuring Dinner hours, there's a small basket of papadam on the table to start things off. These are always perfectly cooked without being greasy. Dinner is nice with very generous portions. We usually get one entree per person, and have lunch the next day as well.",
"Good, somewhat spicy, filling, quick Indian food. We love coming here on weekends for the buffet (the tikka masala and the saag paneer will cure what ails you, whether it be a hangover or a cold). Lots of good veggie stuff, especially the potatoes and the chickpea curry. It's a little different each time we go, but if they have the deep-fried potatoes dipped in chickpea flour--yum! Sometimes the food is a bit cold, but always tasty.",
"If you are looking for great north Indian food, look no further! I have yet to find Indian food stateside that I like as much as India Palace! Their mushroom sagg is one of my favorite dishes. \n\nHaving lived in Maharashtra, I have tried several stateside Indian restaurants looking for food that can transport me back to the streets of Pune. India Place comes pretty darn close. Especially when I put the Lentil soup (dahl) over rice at the end of my meal!",
"OMG!!!! I would've never expected to see this place on the list or hear of this place ever again! \n\nSo it just happens one night, out of the blue my cousin wanted to eat Indian food and this place just happens to be across the street. I refused to go at first because having catched the whiff of Indian food was such a turn off for me. Took some convincing, but I gave in. \n\n(Noted: This was my FIRST and only time I have ever tried Indian food. Not to be narrow minded nad what not, I'm sure some of you out there love their cusine. It's just after this experience, for me.... totally scarred me for life and I have never ate Indian cusine ever again). \n\nAnyhow, walking through the door... the smell of heavy curry permeated the air and caused me the nauseous feeling of wanting to throw up. The smell is sooooo unlike other asian curry, that I couldn't help but try to only breath through my nose. So we ordered beef curry, lamb curry, and chicken curry..... now, the flatbread they gave us as the housebread was pretty awesome. So I figured the entrees come out and it owuld be decent..... only.... no utensils were given. \n\nWe had to dig our food with our bare hands. Encrusting our nails with this foul tasting curry, and may I note that my chicken was bleeding when I ripped it apart? So my cousin told me to try his beef curry, that he has yet to dig into.... using me as an experiment, I took one bite.. and I'm spewing it back into a napkin. \n\nThat was ENOUGH, as we paid our bill and left our barely touched entrees and ran out the door for some frsh air. Thus, I can tell you.... I haven't since tried Indian curry since. \n\nSorry to disappoint, but that was my experience.",
"This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Indianapolis. I am very happy that they will prepare their dishes \"extra, extra hot.\" Bland Indian food isn't worth eating. My favorite thing about this restaurant is the fact that they have a Sunday night dinner buffet. Yes, the food is mild for the American tongue, but is still delicious. My favorite dish is the chicken tikka masala--extra hot, of course.\n\nOne of the most positive aspects of this place is the staff. They are VERY friendly--and usually remember what I want (and how I like it) from the second I walk in the door.",
"The worst Indian food I've had in a while (a long while)!!!\n\nFirst, this place is not Indian - it's Pakistani. \n\nSecond, the service is SOOOO bad, they kept pressuring us to eat faster and close the bill as they wanted to go home - this is ~8pm on a Saturday night. \n\nThat probably is a good indicator of the amount of business they're doing - they want to close up at 8pm on a Saturday night!!!\n\nThe food was so TERRIBLE that I had a stomach flu for 3 days after this dinner and had to live on soup!! \n\nI would never ever advise/recommend this place to anyone EVER!!",
"I really don't agree with the other reviews that seem to think this place is horrible. I think it's actually pretty good Indian food. I've never been for the buffet - just standard dinner service several times and have never been disappointed. It is owned by the same people who own Shalimar in Broad Ripple. I'd recommend the Chicken Makhani (chicken in a red sauce with cashews) and their samosas are quite good too. We tend to order Malai Kofta at most Indian restaurants that we go to, and I really don't like the sauce in their version. But everything else on the menu has been great. I've never understood why many Indian restaurants (this one included) charge you if you want more rice. Nevertheless this place is worth a visit if you are on the West side and craving Indian.",
"This is the best Indian Buffet in town hands down in my opinion. Very clean, elegant atmosphere and professional wait staff for a buffet. The food is superb and served hot. The desserts are very good. I have been eating the lunch buffet here for years and have never had a bad experience. I have eaten dinner here once and it was good, but I highly recommend the lunch buffet.",
"just reviewing places I have enjoyed in my visit...this is yummy, with enough variety of dishes to choose!! Thanks to M.W. to be someone just so special to take me to places...my great moments!!!",
"I love, love, LOVE India Palace!!! It's by far the best Indian restaurant I've ever been too. I've gone there several times over the past several years for dine-in, carry-out, and the buffet. And whenever I go, there are always several Indian people also eating there. I think this is a sign that the food is authentic.\n\nFirst of all, the lunch buffet is very impressive. Not only is everything delicious, the selection is HUGE - 2 or 3 times bigger than other Indian buffets I've been too. It includes some of their best dishes, in my opinion. Also of note, I find the buffet to be very mildly spicy, which is great for those of us who can't take too much spiciness. I like just being able to savor the flavors.\n\nThe menu also has a huge array of dishes. I almost always get my favorite - the lamb or vegetable korma, and I LOVE the mango milkshakes! I've also had both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian samplers, which are give you about 10 excellent dishes and are a great deal. I think prices overall are very reasonable.\n\nThe atmosphere is very elegant, comfortable and soothing. The waitstaff is friendly - actually, the service is almost too good. Someone will come by to fill your water glass - even if you've only taken a sip - every 2 minutes. It gets a bit invasive. But I'd rather have overly-attentive waiters than inattentive ones. \n\nOverall, this restaurant is a gem!"

"How many great pizza places can E'ville support? I guess two is within the realm of possibility. Totally delish pizza. Good salads. Excellent service. The line was outrageous, so get there early or come late. Overall, not quite up to the level of Peel, but a rock solid joint for a pie and a beer. Will go again, no doubt.",
"To be fair, we had take-out, which sometimes isn't as good as eating pizza in-house. But we were underwhelmed... Not bad, but just don't see what the hype is about. Also in fairness, we did not order one of their signature pizzas but rather ordered our own toppings on their \"build your own.\" So their branded pizzas may be \"more special\" than what we had.\n\nOur main complaint is that the bottom of the crust was soft to the point of seeming under cooked and gummy, yet that wouldn't seem to be the case in that the edge was cooked properly, and actually pretty tasty. Would like for the bottom crust to have been more crunchy.\n\nThe mushrooms were nice... fresh, not canned. Didn't care so much for the sausage... can't say why specifically, although part of it might be our preference for the crumbled kind of Italian sausage rather than the sliced links. The sauce is decent.\n\nThe Greek salad was good... includes whole roasted garlic cloves, which were a nice (and unusual) touch.\n\nBottom line: Decent neighborhood pizza joint, if they fix the crust problem. I wouldn't consider it gourmet pizza, but probably can't say that for sure until we try one of their signature varieties.",
"Wow! I was impressed! I'd agree with Peter P on everything except I'd put them on par with The Peel - which is also an excellent pizzeria.\n\nFinally got a table after trying for weeks (I won't stand in line); we went at 8 PM. The service was very good, salads were fresh and excellent, reminiscent of Peel salads, but pizza was much different than Peels. More like a traditional pizza but done very, very well. Love that peppery red pizza sauce; wife and son enjoyed the white sauce version. I thought a 17\" pizza was too big for 3 people but we ate every scrap. Price was high end for pizza; $33 plus tip for all of us. Well worth it. If the lines ever die down; or I don't mind waiting until 8 PM for supper, I'll be back!\n\nPS - I can't believe I scooped John H. on this review!",
"Just as excellent as their Missouri locations. Glad they finally made the leap into Illinois.\n\nService was considerably better than the other not-to-be-named-non-chain pizza place in Edwardsville.\n\nFood was great. Quick, hot, and perfectly prepared.",
"Its re-used storefront sign, transformed and refurbished, is a nice touch in a community that values its heritage. It also subtly invites comparison with the venerable Kriege Hardware that occupied this space for decades. Kriege was one of those old-school hardware stores that seemed to carry every nut, washer, and screw you could ever need, and took pride in personally and quickly matching a product to your project. \n\nThat community memory probably influenced the mental notes I made during my first visit to Dewey's. I imagine that the staff receives a heavy dose of coaching about \"teamwork,\" as evidenced by the way everyone worked together: we received drink refills from three different servers, and were instructed that we could pay through any of them. I thought I might have a felt a little high anxiety, as each seemed to be looking out of the corner of his or her eye for ways to be helpful, especially in sharing the clearing of tables. In terms of friendliness and helpfulness, the staff was fine.\n\nOthers have written about the food, and I'll just say that the house salad was very good, and the calzone good. A bonus of this visit was running into fellow yelper Bill C. Hey, Bill, the toppings on that pizza you ordered looked AWESOME.",
"I feel exactly the same as Keith B., although we did have a signature pizza. The bottom crust is just too gummy! However, our salads were delicious, the service was great and the interior of the restaurant is very pleasing.",
"Kicks the shit out of the horrendously overpriced Peel and Pi. Just as good as the over the river stores we used to drive 100 mile R/T to eat at before this one opened. It looks the same and has the same good service and great food you are accustomed to in the Dewey's chain.",
"Okay, so did Edwardsville really need another pizza place?? After two visits to Deweys, I'm convinced that it did!\n\nFood: I really like their pizza. On my first visit, I had a pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, green olives, and extra cheese. It was good, but the crust was soggy. My bad for ordering too much cheese. Yet, I loved the sauce which had the perfect combination of sweet and spice. So...I visited a second time (same order minus the x cheese), and my pizza was great. This time I also ordered their peppercorn ranch salad, which was reminiscent of Pi's BLT salad (yum!). For reference, my gold standard of 'Za is d'Bronx from Kansas City, and this was really close. Next time I'll try to save room for dessert, as they looked amazing.\n\nService: The managers are doing their job of thoroughly training employees. Waitstaff are extremely attentive and accommodating of children. Tables are bussed promptly, and the staff throwing the pizza dough are quite entertaining and cheerful. Keep it up!\n\nOverall, a solid 4-stars!! Another \"win\" for E'ville dining... now can we have a Middle Eastern restaurant please?????",
"I love Dewey's! Excellent food quality, efficient and friendly waitstaff. Most delicious pizza crust in the 'ville. Interesting ingredients and combinations.",
"Classic pizza Great salads (and I hate salad - get the strawberry macadamia dealio)\nI'd go 4 stars if they would cook their pie just a bit longer - a little soggy.\nCompletely different than Peel and hopefully here to stay. Just need to cook a couple of minutes longer"

"Not the fancy-Pomme, but the casual Pomme.\n\nThey used to have a sandwich that was my FAVE - fresh roasted turkey, avocado, tomato, and roasted sweet onions. The turkey sandwich has changed and I don't like it as much, but still pretty good. Sandwiches are served with amazing little homefries and sauteed veggies. Nice though put into the sides.\n\nThe entrees tried were also good, as are the salads, which are fairly inventive. A salad topped with duck came with a lot of duck, which can be a rare phenomenon. \n\nDinner is not expensive and wines can be poured in 3oz portions, so you can taste a few without getting sloshed.\n\nThe only downside? A small, limited menu. The upside? Everything is fresh and very quasi-Euro. Great outside seating, too.",
"This is a great little cafe. Definitely overpriced, but I love that they're open late, and their food is pretty good. The servers are very knowledgeable about wine. \n\nPretty good weekend breakfast, too.",
"Ambiance,Bonhomie, Cuisine - the ABCs that Pomme prides itself for.\nThe bonhomie was certainly in keeping with the very laid-back and pleasant ambiance of this cute cafe. When I was here for dinner, I shared the small space with a diverse group of folks ranging from couples, girl-friends,post-work crowds to a family birthday gathering - a typical neighborhood spot. \nThe cuisine - I thought it was overpriced, for a pretty standard and limited fare. I despise broccoli, but the broccoli-almond soup was so good, I might go green after all. The Belgian chocolate mousse was pretty amazing too. That apart, the wine, dinner selections didn't really make an impact. \nBut for a casual, quick, good food excursion in Clayton, Pomme definitely meets the requirements.",
"I went by Pomme Cafe and Wine Bar the other day for dinner. Since it was Memorial Day pretty much every place was closed. Finding a restaurant to eat at that did not involve a drive up menu looked to be a challenge. Never the less, while driving though downtown Clayton and seeing people through the window, I quickly made up my mind as to where I was going to have dinner.\n\nPomme Cafe and Wine Bar is a nice place to go to eat. When I was there it was nice and quiet as most of all the other people in the country were probably grilling out. I ended up ordering a classic Ruben sandwich, which was nice and hearty that tasted wonderful as was the toasted apple slices on cheese bread that I also had.\n\nPomme Cafe and Wine Bar was a great treat that I greatly enjoyed.",
"I used to live right around the corner! Pomme was an easy walk on nice nights..\n\nThings I like:\n1. The duck confit salad. It's a little overpiced ($10) for the size, but the duck is juicy and delicious and overall it's a great little salad. \n2. The boyfriend's orchietti pasta with sausage & (i think) chard was very tasty. I definitely stole more than 1 bite, which is always a good sign. \n3. Homemade sorbet! I'm more of a doused in chocolate girl myself, but when it's hot and sticky in St Louis homemade sorbet is the way to go!\n4. Pretty good wine & cocktail list!\n\nThings I didn't like:\n1. It tends to attract really old guys and their much younger \"friends.\" If you are going to be an old guy taking a young girl out, at least take her someplace really fancy. Then I won't have to sit really close to you and hear your entire vapid conversation. Thanks!\n2. The waitstaff can be a little flaky! The first few times we walked in we had to do the awkward hover by the door and try and figure out if it's a seat yourself place or not (not).",
"This place opens at 7am, but don't even bother with their weekly breakfast. I ordered a blueberry muffin and coffee en route to work, and I'm just completely disappointed with the waitstaff and breakfast selection. The girl who took my order was very rude and seemed put off by my request to hear the muffins of the day. The \"blueberries\" were the size of raisins, and given the fact that it is summer...and there are fresh blueberries available...I would expect more than a Betty Crocker box mix. \n\nPS. These muffins were lacking substantial muffintops, and in my book, that is just a no-no.",
"MMMMMMMM! I love Pomme! They have the most amazing brunches, especially the omelets, they truly are great. Whenever I eat brunch at Pomme, I get an omelet, and its 99.9% of the time fantastic. I get egg whites, and they have no problem cooking the eggs either way. The toast is delicious and fresh, and so is the fruit they serve with the eggs as well.\n\nSince I have always loved brunch there recently I have started to dine out at Pomme for lunch. The tuna steak sandwich is great. Today I ate at Pomme and got the Mac and Cheese, which was great as well. The side salad was dressed with an incredible dressing and the mac and cheese was made with white cheese, not a classic american or yellow cheese.\n\nWow, was my lunch good, and now come to think of it, I actually might go there for brunch this weekend.\n\nA Great local spot! =)",
"What a great little spot...it's quaint, it's cozy, and the food is (quite naturally) on par with it's adjacent sibling restaurant Pomme...and that's really saying something! Perfect when you want a quick bite and GOOD glass of wine before the movies. Or when you can't bear to eat at CPK with the kids again. Kids are nicely accomodated here, and adults are happy in a civilized European feeling bistro.",
"Love the brunch here. The omelettes with egg whites only are delish and the homemade biscuits are amazing. The service is also generally very good. \n\nJust don't accidentally bring an \"outside beverage\" in - like Starb - because you'll find a \"small corkage fee\" on your bill.",
"Cozy little gem in the middle of downtown Clayton, Pomme Cafe is small and moderately priced relative to other good restaurant options in the neighborhood.. \n\nThis is a casual place and the menu is concise but there are nice wines by the bottle and the glass, food is generally light but excellent and the atmosphere is sophisticated enough to make you feel like you've found a special place that's worth paying a bit extra to enjoy. Lots of good food choices but I definitely recommend the hangar steak salad and the Dover sole. Live music sometimes."

"great food, good prices, and a super friendly staff who remembers you. this isn't just your neighborhood pizza joint. they serve up gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, pastas, salads, etc. i have never eaten something here that i didn't love. best pizza in wayne!",
"Visited for lunch of a few slices. Available selection was somewhat limited. One of two ordered slices was actually falling apart, with about 20% of underlying crust missing. They still served it without explanation, apology, or discount. Tables and bathroom not exactly clean, especially considering that it wasn't very busy. Staff was friendly (although careless) and slices tasted pretty good if you closed your eyes.",
"My boy and I walked into this place during our annual trip to the town. We didnt have pizza though. We opted to have a cheese steak and we were very happy with it. The meat was good and the cheese was good and it was the perfect level of greasy. Not too greasy but not dry.\n\nVery Yummy.\nThe margarita pizza looked very good, but we didnt have any :( next time.\n\nThis place is pretty good to grab a bite on the go :)",
"Love this place. Good service, tasty pizza, and lots of choices. Parking can be a bear during lunch - but totally worth the walk! Get the Margherita Pizza, a bottle of iced tea, some tomato and mozzarella salad and enjoy your lunch. It is family owned straight from Italy (seriously). The real deal.",
"When I order a pizza, there are three things I look for: crust, sauce, and toppings. Bravo puts out an OK crust, the sauce is acceptable, and the cheese is pretty standard pizza cheese. However, when I order black olives I expect the olives to be sprinkled on the pizza, not dumped on by the handful. On top of that, if the olives have come from a can (which mine most definitely did), then have the decency to rinse them off. The preservative taste of the olives ruined the flavor the pizza. There were so many of these disgusting chemically flavored nuggets that I ended up picking them off my pie. Sadly, the cheese had rubberized itself around many of the \"olives\" so that came off with them. I was splitting this pizza and we ended up tossing the last slice. I would be willing to give them another shot WITHOUT the \"olives,\" but with Whole Foods right down the street putting a fresh, much healthier looking and tasting pizza, what's the point? I tried to support a local shop, but their pizza just didn't cut it.",
"The margherita pizza is decent here. The crust is thin and crispy and the sauce flavorful. It's not the best in the area but it is pretty good. Plus, they sell individual slices, which is handy if you want a quick bite while shopping in Wayne.",
"As a native New Yorker, this is my favorite pizza place in the Philly suburbs. Also, Paola and Mike are great people that show a genuine appreciation of your business. If you're in the mood for good non-pizza Italian food, Paola makes a great dish of pasta. Their non-pizza dishes are probably better than most sit down restaurants, and cheaper! Highly recommend.",
"I have been frequenting Bravo pizza for almost 8 years now and it never ceases to amaze me the richness of the food and the quality of people who work there. I haven't been to Bravo in almost half a year and I am sure a million customers walk in and out of there because of how nice Paula and the gang are, but even after all that time, I walk in and she says, \"Hey Derek! How you been?! I got a good BBQ chicken today!\" This is without a doubt my favorite pizza joint on the planet. \n\nAn extremely high recommendation. And when you go, get a bread-stick with a small cup of their homemade marinara sauce... I'm drooling thinking about it.\n\nHappy Eating!",
"What's in the box? Before I left the establishment I had to make sure that there actually was a pizza in the box since it was so light. For $14.50 (today's price; not sure when I bought it though), I would expect a bit more mass. This was the last time I've ordered from them which was about 5 years ago. You absolutely do not get what you pay for.\n\nAlso, I phoned the order in and at pickup, the woman working there (owner or manager at the time) claimed that I must have called their Berwyn pizzeria by mistake. I know I placed the order with her but took the high road and waited for another pie (she offered no discount, but hey, it was my fault for calling the other place). Went home and hit redial. I'll give you one guess who answered the phone.\n\nHowever, it is a pretty good tasting pizza. But not close to worth the price. For the locals of Wayne/Berwyn, I recommend Spizzico's in Wayne (by the Bottle and Can/Wawa off Rt 30) and Mario's on Rt 30 in Berwyn. A little out of the way would be Wegman's (yes Wegman's) in K of P. Wegman's makes a 20 inch pizza for $13 (with shoppers card) and the taste is very good; is at least on par with Bravo, Spizzico's and Mario's. A lot out of the way would be my two preferences of anywhere from Ardmore to Paoli is Bella Italia in Ardmore and Garret Hill Pizza in Garret Hill.\n\nFor chains, both Anthony's Brick Oven and Bertucci's are both very, very good but overpriced for me (maybe ~$20 for a pie). But a different type of pizza than the run of the mill pizzerias like the ones I've mentioned.\n\nGrowing up in North Jersey, I grew up eating Sciortino's pizza in Perth Amboy which was considered as one of the best in NJ at the time (they've closed and recently reopened since I left the area in the early 70's). You never forget the taste and I haven't tasted anything close to it in this area. Not trying to be a snob but I humbly bring something to the table here.\n\nI hope to find some responses to my review. I'm new with Yelp and decided to start here since my feelings for Bravo are strong.",
"Bravo is average middle of the road pizza. Better than your pizza hut or Pappa John's but certainly not on par with authentic New York or Napoli pies. They don't really do anything to make themselves stand out, but they really don't have to since the main line certainly not a cheese steak or pizza destination. Their most loyal clientele consists of Radnor and Conestoga high school guys who like to rock the main line yuppie mullet like it's 1988 making for an amusing people watching experience as you consume your average food."

"Locals love this place. I honestly doubt you're reading this if you aren't a local. Then again, if you are a local, you should already know about this place and have no need to read this. Eh either way locals love this place. I say you've gotta try it for yourself. It's cheap and quick and they even have a drive through window. I didn't realize you could make pizza that fast, but who knows! I found it kinda runny, and cardboard like, but OK overall. Now I just hope I don't get beat up for my three star review.",
"NB: Out-of-towner perspective. \n\nWHAT IS THIS STUFF?\n\nLooks like a giant, crunchy lavosh spread with pro-vel cheese (like provolone, but...processed with a hint of gunmetal). The sauce is sweeter than what I'm used to, but not cloyingly so...and a good match for the salty pro-vel. The texture is crisp and chewy -- like 'crackerbread' pizza...not my most favorite style of 'za.\n\nWell, as they say, when in Rome....",
"Q: What's grosser than gross?\n\nA: Imo's!\n\nJust because you put a cheese-like substance on a bread-like substance doesn't mean you have made a pizza.",
"I never understood the Imo's bandwagon. \n\nYou know what it tastes like?\n\nWhen I was a kid, my babysitter would have \"pizza day\". That meant we put ketchup and american cheese on English muffins and toasted it in the oven. Sometimes we even added pepperoni. \n\nIf you cut the English muffin in half to make it a thinner slice, it's almost exactly like Imo's.",
"A short review/explanation aimed at the grossed-out, tasteless non-St. Louisans:\n\nInstead of mozzarella - universally and un-originally used in every pizza from coast-to-coast, including your grocer's freezer - Imo's uses Provel, which is a delicious, 100% processed cheese blend presented by God as a gift to His Favored City, St. Louis. Read up:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.or...\n\nNo other pizza in the world - and I've eaten them from coast-to-coast and on three continents - compares to the thin little square of Heaven that is Imo's!\n\nThe trick is to make sure you have all the condiments on hand, which includes a Cardinals or Blues game on the tube.",
"Don't get me wrong I love imos pizza but this place just served us the worst pizza I have ever had. The toppings and cheese slid off. the toppings weren't cut properly they were huge (it was mushroom and onion) not to mention it looked pretty dirty inside. There are imos everywhere if you need to pick one I wouldn't choose the imos in central west end (the one right next to snap fitness)",
"Here it is. The famous Imo's Pizza. The pizza, its cheese in particular, is more divisive than the AB-InBev merger. I'm personally a fan of the pizza, and I can prove it by eating an obscene number of slices in one sitting. I've done so at this location more than once because the service is speedy and there's always open tables for you and your guests. If you plan on making a trip, preclear your plans with everyone in your party to make sure there are no provel haters amongst them. They tend to get verbally violent or physically sick at the mere mention of Imo's. That's fine though, more for me.",
"Their lunch specials lured me in. Nothing to write home about and pizza in St. Louis will never compare to Philly-NYC anyway. Service was good and the place was clean. $6.75 gets you a 8\" pizza with topping, soda, and small salad. Good enough for me!",
"Great takeout spot, and they have the formula well catered to here.",
"Good especially when hungry! Made me feel healthy with the thin crust and overload on veggies until I realized there was a lot of cheese...which I like :) We got delivery, so they were pretty dead on the time they had predicted on a freezing Saturday night."

"Edmonton's First Authentic Craft Beer Lounge, I just left work downtown Edmonton and am recovering from the flu on a cloudy drissly evening. I spoke to a co-worker who had a flyer about this new 'pub' that opened recently. The first thing I thought of was 'English pub style' however I did have to investigate further, feeling exhausted and weakened as I was recovering from the flu I went into the Treasury building, and glided down the escalators to the lower level where I found a tidy/clean upscale 'pub'. I did not realize that I was about to be 'hooked' into tasting a couple of specialty brews. However, I kept myself composed as I ordered the onion-fennel soup French-style. The warmly brewed broth underneath the melting cheese hit the spot, I felt at home. This specialty soup is part of the main menu a must for lovers of French onion soup. There are 72 craft and micro-brewed beers on tap; included within this group of offerings 12 additional draft lines will be rotated every month. The pub has a chalkboard posting the monthly flavours. I had the Lindeman's Framboise (Belgium) fruit beer which was more like a dessert wine, however it definitely was a brewed beer to celebrate my partially Belgium heritage. I also had a tasting of Sir Perry Pear Cider (England) this is not too sweat but has a very gentle fruity taste. I was impressed, the owner/manager came over to my table and introduced himself along with a huge smile he indicated that one time was not enough to taste everything that they had to offer and I realized why he was the owner/manager. The waitress I had was personable and approachable, I think that this establishment is a huge asset for the downtown area. I was looking for a place to go, and the theme song from the TV show 'Cheers' was going through my mind.........'Where everyone knows your name' Cheers! to this new club.",
"Disappointed. How this place can claim to be a \"craft\" beer bar is beyond me.\n\nA substantial amount of the offerings are produced by large macro-breweries like the world's largest brewery AB-InBev (Boddington's, Leffe, Stella), SABMiller (Creemore, Pilsner Urquell, Grolsch), Sapporo, or Guiness (Harp, Kilkenny, Smithwicks). Not to mention offerings from Heineken (Newcastle) and Carlsberg (Kronenbourg) portfolios.\n\nThis constant smokeshow of purporting macro-owned imports for \"craft\" or \"micro\" brewed beers does nothing but miseducate the public as to what craft beer actually is. It might even be worse than the fallacy that AB InBev keeps alive insisting that Alexander Keith's is actually an IPA.\n\nIt might be a good place to get a beer, but stop with this insistance you are a craft establishment. Both MKT and this place commit the same sin, co-opting the actual craft beer movement in order to push offerings from giant brewers who prefer to use cheap adjuncts in their beers. \n\nIts fine if this is what you want to serve, just don't tell the public you are actually serving something else, it actually hurts the small brewers who sweat blood in order to make an inroads into the beer market and actually produce something noteworthy or interesting.",
"I appreciate very much the generosity of this establishment, they provide 1 ounce tasters (free of cost) so that when you order your beer you know what it will taste like. They also provide a tasting menu where you can order a round of several different varieties of beers for a 'minimal' cost. I think that this kind of service is world class.",
"I can't think of anything else I would look for in a neighbourhood beer haunt, beyond it actually being in my neighbourhood, since it's that damn good. On second thought, it's probably best that it's not much closer to home.\n\nThe servers are knowledgeable, the free tasters were highly unexpected and very much appreciated, the music is not too loud, it's got great decor... oh yes, and a ton of beer. Very well-selected and well-described beer, so you don't get the double-fisted hop-puncher by mistake when you'd really just like some light, unoffensive lager.\n\nI can't say I'm overly concerned about the presence of some macro-owned micro-brew; when you're trying to cater to a wide audience, you need to have some somewhat familiar offerings to get people started. Then you get them hooked on a nice, tasty double-fisted hop-puncher and they're yours for good!\n\nSo, 5 full stars to the Underground - it's the most solid craft/micro brewhouse I've been to and well worth a visit.",
"So Edmonton's latest new tap house, tap and grill place or what you will has finally opened. While I'm certainly not fond of the ambience, I think that having a good list of beers on tap is a great sign for Edmonton's beer revolution!\n\nFirstly, I was definitely disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm and knowledge of the server. When you have a one page list of food items and 4 pages of beers, you better well know a bit about beer. To be honest, I don't blame the server because I actually think she shouldn't be working there.\n\nThe plus points are easy: good variety of beers on tap (I believe 72 taps) to give a fair competition to the industrialized MKT. I haven't eaten there but I'm glad to see that their menu is just one page and focusses on pub fare. I also like that their beers are listed by 100s, 200s, 300s and 400s, i.e., representing the spectrum of beer drinkers from the newbies to the experts. However, with some beers not having the name of their brewery listed, it is confusing if not unacceptable. Also, not sure how many of those beers are craft beers - but I will let the 400s level 'experts' answer that.\n\nThe negatives are easy too: top 40s music, ambience Moxie-like, servers who know nothing about beer etc.; all attributes pointing towards the typical Edmonton feel, i.e. treading that line of club and lounge poorly. The word 'underground' should not be confused with something that is metaphorically underground, i.e., grungy feel, a hidden staircase taking you down (unlike the escalator they have), pub-like ambience, wait staff wearing old clothes from Army and Navy and looking like they really need a haircut but being total geeks about beer, etc. This is the impression I got from the name, which however, The Underground does not possess. \n\nDrop in and enjoy a good beer. Don't expect to be wowed.",
"I've since been back and, while the food is still the best pub food I've had, and the beers continue to impress, the service had definitely gone down hill. The server we had for our first visit was exceptional. Sadly, this seems to be the exception. In service, knowledge, and personality, every other server I've had has been poor to mediocre. That being said, they have been open less than a month and have enough going for them to keep me coming while they iron out the kinks!",
"Upon descending down the small escalator to The Underground, I feel a sense of trepidation. What possible atmosphere can the basement of an old building on Jasper avenue have? Will the toilets even flush? How many mice call said building home? Fortunately, there was a light at the end of the tunnel for when you walk into The Underground, the warm woodsy decor makes you forget you are underground! A warm, spacious, inviting mod-pub atmosphere welcomes you.\n\nThough far from a beer aficionado I do appreciate craft beers for the same reason I appreciate art galleries, to enjoy something beyond my comprehension thus stretching myself out of a comfort zone and enhancing my knowledge about a subject. After all, who couldn't use more enhancement? \n\nI think SD from Oakland has a solid point in highlighting that it might be a little dubious to sell yourself as a craft establishment when a good portion of the selection isn't craft. This being said, relative to this city's environment and market that is my humble home I would say \"beggars cannot be choosers.\"\n\nUnderground definitely has at least 12 pure local/independent craft selections available for your pleasure. I was lucky to try the Chai Stout from Ambers, Fullmoon from Ally Kat, Pigs Ass Porter from Harvest Moon (Montana) and 606 Pale Ale from Paddock Wood (Sask). Found the Fullmoon and especially the Pig's Ass (which I hope doesn't actually taste like a Pig's Ass because I would begin to question my tastes) great. Learned a lot and had fun getting drunk. Objectives achieved!\n\nThe service was stellar. Our server, Lisa, knew her stuff about the craft beers. She did a wonderful job. \n\nGreat place. Hope to come back often.",
"I've only been to this establishment twice; I've tried their apple chicken sandwich -- it's good! My coworkers raved about their fries. One of them quite enjoyed the spring onion sandwich -- which is sort of weird because it's almost like eating a doughnut sandwich with pulled pork in it -- it's a knife and fork kind of meal. If you are torn between several beers, you could order a sampler with various 5 oz glasses for $11. (Total 20 ounces)\nThe only thing new that I've tried is Loki. It's good -- not too sweet, just a hint of caramel.\nThe only qualms I have got about this place is their supply chain management. It often seems they're always out of many beers. I had really wanted to try the pumpkin beer, but they were out. But hey, as long as they've got Boddingtons on tap? I won't complain.",
"As in \"Ferris Buellers Day Off\"... OOOoo yyeeaaahh! This place is a bear drinker's paradise. 72 draft beers! The barkeepers were enthusiast and knowledgeable. The beer, MM MMM M guuud. The atmosphere was easy going and relaxed. I wanted to eat light; more room for beer :)\nWhenever I check out a new spot, I like to keep it simple, and so ordered a Caesar salad. I've found a fresh salad means well kept veg. proper refrigeration etc. Lettuce was crisp the dressing was authentic; also had a starter of chicken fingers, nice N tasty. Next trip I'll try some real food. I went for the beer :-D\nLooking forward to trip #2",
"I really appreciated being able to sample beer before placing an order. There's a decent selection, though it definitely leaves behind some faves (though our server told us that they're still open to recommendations and are continuing to change their menu).\n\nAs a vegetarian, I found their menu to be frustrating and lacking good selections. However, the kitchen made me veggie quesadillas that were pretty good - not greasy and full of vegetables.\n\nI think a different kind of seating would help make the place less like a chain restaurant and more like a place to sit, relax, and enjoy lots of different kinds of beer with friends."

"I wasn't surprised to find great food here, their other 3 locations always hit the spot for me and my family. I normally get the inside outs but you can't go wrong with anything you order. They have these great sandwiches called \"Rustic Sandwiches\" which are really good and they also make really great cheesesteaks!\nOverall a really fine eatery.",
"This is a beautiful new restaurant in the place where three former storefronts existed including the Gluten-free Pasta Company. It has been absolutely remodeled into a very modern location reminiscent of something like a yuppie location in Washington DC instead of media PA. \n\nThe place is immaculate. New. Clean and spotless. It has two stories for diners to look over the Baltimore Pike traffic and people.\n\nIt is a wonderful sitdown eatery, a takeout location, and a delivery place. The colorfully adapted VW bus sitting outside lends a beautifully vintage flavor. \n\nI came in and tried one of their luscious salads for lunch. It was absolutely delicious. Now I have to come in for dinner and try one of their double-decker pizzas.",
"Great isops and crepes! this Is my second time here and the staff is always very friendly and fast. Place looks nice too. Looks like they are working in adding beer also. Can't wait to see what they get.",
"This place came highly recommended by friends who've lived in the area for a long time and I cant say how disappointed I was with the pizza. \n\nThe crust was absolutely flavorless and so bready, a thick layer of rubbery cheese sat lifeless in the middle and the toppings were ...blah. \n\nI'd normally chalk up this poor performance to a fluke but we ordered on a Friday night and the place was packed with diners eating in and people coming and going with take out...so I'd have to assume its not a fluke. \n\nI mean the pizza wasn't horrible but there are definitely way better options in even a two block radius. The inside was clean and had a very nice seating area, so maybe I'll have to give them another shot with something other than pizza.",
"I've eaten from here just twice now. They have pretty good \"inside-out pizzas\" as they call them. They are kind of a large pizza hot pocket filled with whatever you want. They bake or fry them and both options are pretty good. Their food in general is average for a pizza shop, but they do have a large seating area if you're looking to dine in. The last time I went I merely asked if their mushrooms are canned, because canned mushrooms are disgusting, and the worker got super annoyed at me when responding that they were. Sorry for inquiring about your sub-par quality items.",
"Don't know how you don't rate this Delco institution a 5. Ranks up there with Charlie's and Bernie's. Yes its deep fried dough with pizza sauce and cheese on the inside but its freakin awesome. Might be the cure to end all hangovers. Seriously these folks have been slinging these in Ridley and the rest of delco for 20+ years and if you haven't gone you need to. With locations in media and Glen Mills there is one near you. Cheap and tasty lunch in a comfortable setting. Great job guys.",
"I loved Double Decker Pizza until a few weeks ago when we went there right before closing hours. The restaurant lights were on, the doors were unlocked, and there were plenty of people still working. The guy waved me out the door and told me they were closed. Lock the doors and turn off the lights in front if you're closed! The food is great, but the service not so great.",
"I wouldn't say double decker is known for their pizza. They are known for the inside outs. Their rustic sandwiches are awesome too. If you go, you'll see that the inside is an awesome and upbeat environment for people of all ages. The staff is also extremely friendly. I highly recommend",
"The worst! The crepes were over priced for Nutella and bananas! And the pizza was flavorless and too bready,! There are so many better pizza places in the area. My husband had one of the sandwiches and was not impressed either.",
"I have been here many times! We even hosted my baby shower here (There were about 40 people and we comfortably fit in the upstairs)!! It's huge and the food is delicious!! The service is superb and even though they always seem so busy, it's never a long wait! BTW, they even sell the best crepes around! Apparently, the original owner of The Crepe Truck down at Temple is now here at Double Decker!!"

"I heard quiet a few things about this place from people all around. I noticed that they opened one up by where I live. So I decided to check out,\"Five Guys Burgers and Fries\". Yes I know there is a typo, and no I am NOT the one who posted the business listing.\n{edit}- looks like they fixed the typo, I guess no yummy french feies for me ;)\n\nWhen I got there they had a long line out the door. The thought that kept racing through my head was that the food better be worth the wait. as I inched my way to the counter which took about 25 minutes.I finally got to the cashier. She was very friendly and explanatory about the menu. She gave me suggestions to order. So I picked what I wanted and placed my order.\n\nI ordered the Bacon cheese burger with cajun fries. They give you multiple options of what you want on your burger. The toppings I chose were grilled onions,grilled mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and mayo. The burger was fantastic! I also tried the cajun fries they were good also! Still the thoughts of that meal dance through my head. They sell hot dogs at five guys, so I might keep that as an option.Also for vegetarians out there they do sell grilled cheese sandwiches and a veggie burger. \n\nOne thing that I will note is that the fries are cooked in peanut oil. Also they have free peanuts available for customers. If you have any allergies to peanuts than this place is probably NOT for you. I just thought I would throw in that disclaimer. Another heads up is how busy this place gets. You may have to take your meal to go given the fact that indoor and outdoor seating may be occupied. The prices are pretty reasonable here because you can get a filling meal for under $10. \n\nIt still boggles my mind that this place is fast food, because it is almost as good as most gourmet burger spots. I will admit that for a chain fast food restaurant this place is top shelf. This place is definitely worth checking out.\n\nIn short good food,good prices, and good service. Who could ask for anything more?",
"Hands down the best burger in town. I've had burgers all over New Orleans and none can touch the Five Guys cheeseburger. I've had Five guys in 4 different cities and amazingly the burger taste the same everytime. I get the cheeseburger with the grilled onions, mayo and mustard. Just order the small fry as it's enough for two people. For a burger this quality, the price is very fair. i could eat here 3x a week",
"I have been waiting for this place to open for what seems like forever. I work in the area and tried them recently. In general, this is a good burger. It is not a great burger, but definitely a step up from typical fast food. The \"regular\" burger is two 1/4 lb patties and is huge. The \"little\" (one patty) burger is really enough unless you have a huge appetite. The large fries were enough to feed all three people in my party.\n\nThe things that I really like are that the burgers and fries are made fresh, not frozen and that all the toppings are included in the price of the burger. What I don't care for is that there isn't a combo meal and that they do not serve onion rings. I understand the philosophy of keeping the menu small so that you can control the food quality, but really how hard would it be to have onion rings on the menu? \n\nThe atmosphere is kind of bland and the decor is nonexistent except for the 50 or so bags of peanuts lining the seating area. I realize this just a burger joint, but come on Five Guys...really??? Also, the noise level is ridiculous so don't plan on having a meaningful conversation with anyone in your party. Also, if you go at peak lunch hours, be prepared to wait because the line is usually to the door. At least they give you free peanuts to eat while you wait.",
"100% FRESH BEEF... Fresh Cut Fries cooked in 100% peanut oil... YummmmmY\n\nWell i finally made it. And apparently at a good time, I WAS NOT greeted with the \"line out the door\" phenomenon; thank you Jesus!!! \n\nUpon entering, its quite busy. People preparing food. People eating. People talking. People taking orders. In short, the use of your inside voice is not necessary. \n\nThere were only 2 people ahead of me, how sweet is that???? No struggle there. But here's the reason for 3 stars instead of 4... \n\nThe cashier who was \"supposed\" to be taking my order found it moooooooore interesting to talk to her fellow cashier & that cashier's patron than to take my order. So, I PATIENTLY waited for her (Maya according to the register receipt) to acknowledge me, greet me & ask me to step forward before I did so (I initially thought she was helping her fellow coworker with an problem, but as I ear hustled, I learned she was engaging in a nonchalant conversation with the 2 other ladies)... So, 2.5 minutes passed & she FINALLY acknowledged me & took my order (which, of course, not surprisingly she got WRONG). \n\nThe food was good. Temperature was great. No biting & shuffling of food in your mouth because it was too hot. I got a little cheeseburger, thanks to my neglectful cashier, \"all the way\" less pickles. Grilled onions & mushrooms made me Happppppppppppppy!!!!\n\nThe burger prices seem comparable to Wendys, the fries are a little pricey, but I skipped out on that portion of the experience. \n\nFree roasted peanuts for your dining pleasure, but don't throw those shells on the floor, as the sign directs; this AIN'T O'Henrys (well that part isn't in the sign... I threw that in for free ) \n\nI enjoyed my dining experience, but I failed to see what all the hype was about. But hey, \"I came, I saw, I conquered...\" \n\nParking is shared with other retail establishments in the strip mall area, but there's really NOT a shortage of parking spots. \n\nThe outside dining is a plus.",
"I love Five Guys. The burgers are outstanding and the fries are good. People will disagree but I think this burger is probably the best in the NOLA area for the price. \n\nIt can get a bit pricey though but if you are there with someone you can save some coin. You only need to order the smallest fry and share. They dump so many extra fries in that wonderfully greasy bag that sharing is truly caring.\n\nRight now in Harahan it gets REALLY busy. Hopefully when the Mid City location opens it will slow down a bit!\n\nGet over there and check it out. Well, unless you're one of those nazis that only support local and freak when a chain opens in the area. Because then you won't be happy since it's a chain.",
"I ate my first 5 Guys burger in Columbia SC several years ago during a visit to Daughter #1 who was in college at USC. Five guys is the rage, Dad. We have to go. So go we did. It was the rage for a reason. I really loved the burgers, the peanuts, and the vibe which was pretty cool for a fast food place. I googled 5 guys when I returned home and loved the story of a Dad and his 4 sons opening up a burger place. And the rest is history. \n\nSo I was super excited when I read that 5 Guys was coming to NOLA. An educated guess is they were in tune with the recent NOLA burger craze and decided to cash in. So D #1, who has since returned to her beloved New Orleans, and I headed to the concreteness that is Clearview Pkwy for a nostalgia burger. \n\nThey did a good job of getting the restaurant to have the same feel as the ones in SC. It was packed at lunchtime on a Tuesday, but the bustle didn't bother me for some reason. I consider the burgers to be the best of the fast food class, pretty close in flavor and texture to Camellia Grill. The fries can stand up to some of the best in NOLA no doubt. One disappointment was the amount of fries per order. In SC I remember ordering a medium fry and getting enough for a family of 4. These orders are tiny and rather pricey. Overall cost is more than your typical fast food jernt but well worth the extra 3 bucks or so for a lunch for two.",
"Never again! I can get the same burger at Wendy's. I didn't realize this place was just a fast food joint. I thought it would be better. Guess I should have know better since it's a chain. I gave up fast food a long time ago. Beware, the regular hamburgers are double parties, they fail to tell you this when you order, the little burgers are singles, you'd think they would post this information on the giant menu above the counter where you order. If they would use some better quality cheese like cheddar instead of American it would probably be a lot less fast food tasting. The French fries are ok, but I prefer the salted over the seasoned. The seasoned have way too much seasoning. The peanuts are a nice little extra, not really necessary since I will be shoving lots of fat in my mouth after I eat peanuts, but I guess it's a nice gesture to give out free peanuts. I probably won't go back since I can get a way better burger and several different places closer to my house uptown.",
"When considered as a fast food restaurant five guys is a standout. Compared to some of the other local places it is definitely a solid meal, but not too much better than Bud's Broiler. I must say I have tried out three different locations and have had three different experiences. Thankfully this location doesn't undercook their fries. This has been the biggest issue in my experiences with some of the other locations. \n I was served a cheeseburger rather than the hamburger that I ordered, but the staff was quick to correct the mistake and I ended up with a burger to eat later at no charge. (Too bad cheeses and I don't get along!) Overall I would say that I was impressed, but I'm not sure I will visit during peak business hours as the place is crowded and noisy.",
"Definitely good for a chain. Generous portions.",
"It's a Five Guys. Although the novelty has worn off, since they are now popping up everywhere, this is still a good burger. \n\nFast food price, since it's a fast food restaurant, but I would pick Five Guys over Wendys, McD's, etc any day."

"this is the McDonalds i only hit up after a night out on the town,... it seems to be the only fast food place around or place i can remember where fast food is. plus grease is great after drinking.\n\nthe service is alright at best, they are an average for speed, the food is OK for McDonalds, it doesn't rock or stand out better than any other McDonalds, but if your looking for McDonalds, here is an OK one",
"The cook messed my order up...I asked for a 2 southwestern crispy wraps and it says it on my receipt. I didnt realize until i was at home that they gave me 2 grilled chicken bacon wraps. I will never go back there.",
"This McDonald's is notorious for getting orders wrong. Not to mention it is on of the slowest McDonald's I have ever been to. On top of it they charge you for extra sauce for nuggets and never ever give it to you without you having to ask for it after you get your food and then explain to them yes I did pay for it already. All in all the cooks can't read, the employees are rude, and the owners just don't seem to give a damn.",
"DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU MIGHT DIE OF STARVATION !!! I kid you not that my meal took 36 minutes in the drive thru at 9:44 pm on a Wednesday night. Only 3 cars ahead of me. I waited all that time and my order was not difficult double cheeseburger meal No onions, but of course it had onions. So if you want to wait forever for the wrong meal go there but I will never spend another dime there ever again.",
"This MCD is actually one of the cleanest I have ever been to. The bathrooms are amazingly sanitary also!!! The only downfall here is their employees. The customer service it's not up to par!!! All of them have a dismissive demeanor when they take you're order. And they also have personal conversations right in front of you while you're trying to put your order in. If the employees had better customer service and smiled while doing that, then I would give them a 4 start rating but until then.....It's just another crappy MCD'S!!!!",
"Worst mc Donald's in town. The prices are higher than most McDonald's stores. The workers at typical uneducated rude ass people who expect $15/hr. The food was shitty as usual and the lobby was FILTHY! Homeless people littered the parking lot and were camped out inside drinking coffee with their bug infested bags. Also aggressively panhandling in the parking lot. Dangerous area also. Numerous shootings and homicides in the parking lot and near by.",
"No one gave a shit. Service was poor, no one was at the counter to take order, half of the people preparing food didn't have gloves on. Lots of people just standing around at the back. Food also took awhile to come out. I understand this is McDonalds, but still, this is new low.",
"This location rarely fails to disappoint. Today I waited 15 minutes for chicken nuggets. I learned this was because three preparers couldn't see the sleeve of containers right in front of them. When I did get my order, the 40 nuggets were packaged in 10 small containers (four each).",
"This is the slowest drive-thru I've ever been to. Ordered 2 sodas, at 9:45am on a Sunday. We've been in line over 15 minutes. This is ridiculous. If I hadn't already paid, I would pull out of the line.",
"Just not good at all, the fries are the only thing that they have good and that's only if you order them without salt."

"I *think* this is the location I studied at lots of times. It was always a cosy (pun pun pun) respite from the center city chaos outside. If you get there before 5, they don't hassle you with waitress service--AND you can get as many free bread sticks as you'd like! woohoo!!",
"I went here on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too crowded with tourists. I ordered a turkey sandwich and mixed green salad. The turkey sandwich was tasty, but pretty small. I don't remember seeing nouveau in front of the sandwich description. The mixed green salad was fresh and the vinaigrette was tangy. However, the salad fit on the smallest plate available, which is to say it was almost microscopic in size. Frankly the meal just wasn't worth the money. I'd rather have gone to Potbelly's or Top Tomato across the street. The only good thing about the place was that there were a lot of good looking women studying there.",
"I miss XandO!! Did you know the original company which is now the coffee portion of COSI was called XandO? Yeah, it was. The XO stood for Hugs and Kisses while the \"and\" stood for the first initials of the owners Andy, Nick and Dave. How cool is that! Of course, they were much smaller than COSI whose presence was well known in NYC. So, X and O was swallowed into the COSI brand and we are now obsessed with salty, buttery bread! Amazing that you will actually spend $2.19 for a slice of COSI bread! God we are pieces of...bread! Oh, the review... I like COSI but I really miss XandO and I wish COSI was more like XandO! This location is also known as \"GAY COSI\". I remember hanging out with XandO friends here after work at one of the museums on the parkway. I was a farmer dufus with baggy jeans and boots topped off with a flannel jacket. I looked so south jeresey, it was crazy! Ah, memories. So, go to COSI and create some new ones. Try to forget about the old, it's not their fault... or is it?!?!",
"A good place for lunch, but I never could find the napkins! I had the Vegi Muffaletta and it was delicious. There are a TON of banana peppers on this sandwich, but I happen to love them so that just made it better in my opinion. T had the wasabi roast beef, and he said it was delicious. It even had pickled ginger on it. Mmm!",
"This is a great place to go if you need some quick food to sober you up! I've been here many times with my crew after drinking copious amounts in the gayborhood, after NBC functions, after UPENN functions... Actually, I've never been here sober. I can't really rate it better than OK, because I'm not sure if I'm remembering via the nostalgia brought on by dirty martinis or horror brought on my shots of patron. I do know I always feel better after leaving! The bread is good and does a drunk tummy wonders! Someday I'll go back sober... That way I can rate this establishment with a tabula rasa, instead of drunk induced admiration!",
"I'm sitting in your establishment right now because I'm in that awkward time prior to an engagement and I thought I could study here beforehand with your Internet.\n\nWhat the hell. Why did you dim your lights. I already have glasses, you just want me to waste more money on eye complications don't you. Not only can I NOT find an outlet to plug my laptop in, but when I find it, it's right by the door so I am cold on top of having a cold. And this whole table service idea, really REALLY BAD idea.\n\nI came for soup while I study. Your service was nice and your food was yummy. But why oh why did you just dim your lights and make me even more cranky :( You made me sad, Cosi, a very very sad Anjali :(",
"I'll just jump right in here with this...I was flashed in this Cosi. Granted, the act alone was no fault of the staff. However, the reaction of the staff was horrible. I went over to my waiter to complain, and he told he \"He'd look into it.\" The flasher was NOT removed from the restaurant. \n\nI understand the staff might not want to make a scene, but that was pretty ridiculous.",
"Good lunch place. I really like their melt and the salads.",
"I'm an out-of-towner and I only went here once, but I had the TBM squagle (tomato, basil, mozzarella) and it was AWESOME. I put aside my skepticism over a square bagel and tried it out at my friend's recommendation, and loved it. The squagle was nice and crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the tomato, basil, and mozzarella was an excellent combination. I enjoyed my squagle with a cup of coffee and watched the rain fall on a fine spring morning.",
"Though am not a big fan of chains, this place is the only place around my crib that i would go to if i am not feeling too adventurous to wander for food.\n\nThe Service is pretty good and , though there is only thing that i ever eat here. Yes the BBQ individual Pizza, by substituting the regular chicken i get the Tandoori Chicken , which gives the BBQ the smokey meat seasoning that it deserves. The breads are made fresh in their hearth oven, might be a bit tough for some of u, but i totally dig that. What i also like is that u can pretty much mix and match what you want frm their salad bar to build ur own grub. \n\nWhat most ppl dont knw is that most Cosi's this one and others have a decently stacked bar, so if ur friend wants a cup of latte u can douse urself with that Vodka concoction, u knw where to be at."

"Yumm! I love my Turtle Mochasippis! I'm not a fan of Starbucks and will always drive a few extra miles to find a CC's.\n\nI love this CC's because it has a drive-thru! It's also a nice location to hang out since they have a nice deck on the front. They have wi-fi too. Parking can be tough since they have a small parking lot.\n\nThey have all the usual coffee drinks and in the past few months added some basic iced coffees (I guess they had to since McDonald's has been making a dent in the coffee business). They usually have good cookies but their baked goods haven't been good in recent years (they were once baked locally and they switched and have never been the same).",
"The typical coffee house. Coffee, pastries and such. Staff was OK. Somewhat unprofessional in that they stood behind the counter talking loudly to each other about things not related to work or the task at hand. I ordered a frozen coffee (what they call a Mochasippi) and a bagel. Overall a decent experience, nothing wrong. \n\nJust so anyone who may visit here knows, parking at this location is TERRIBLE! There are a total of approximately 12 spaces, and 2 of those are handicapped. Be prepared to hunt around or use the drive thru.",
"Up north, I have this stigma against chain coffeehouses, even small local chains akin to CCs. Down here, though, the local chains are sometimes better than the individual local joints. That is definitely true here. My parents live within short walking distance so when I'm in town I always come out once or twice. Plenty of seating on the inside and a nice deck on the outside (even if it looks out onto the beautiful promenade that is Veterans Blvd [cough cough mega-not]). The coffee is great, I recommend the wonderful New Orleans Blend. Free wifi and lots of studying/working folks so the place isn't ever overblown with chatter. \n\nProtip: after hours, park in the Michelin next door (after they close, obviously). One time I was on a date (I think it was a date, I'm pretty sure; but that's a different story) and there were some crazy sketchy things going on in the lot behind the store. Woof.",
"I'm a cafe au lait girl myself, don't like much of the coffees with extra stuff in them and they make a perfectly respectable one. I buy Community NOLA blend for the house also.",
"I like going here because they are open until 11 every night, and there are lots of people there with their laptops open working quietly. There are also small groups that meet there. \n\nthey have lots of outlets for you to plug in your laptop. If one of the prime spaces isn't available, you can sit down some where else, and wait a few, and a space will open soon. Be sure to bring a sweater because it does get cold. \n\nthey have a great outdoor seating area.",
"Loves their coffee! My favorite place for coffee although I don't get to frequent it as much as I'd like to. Too out of the way for me.",
"Coffee, Wifi, plenty of outlets and good lighting make this place a decent study spot. The lack of quality parkign makes this place less than ideal however. Not a bad place to study and hang out, but not necessarily the best location either.",
"Great coffee and decent (but far from great) quality breakfast items (bagels, muffins, etc). Free wifi and a nice environment with plenty of seating make this a good place to hang out for an hour or so over breakfast. There seem to be the typical people \"camped out\" here for the free wifi but seating has never been a problem. Friendly staff.",
"I love community Coffee, but the only bad thing about this particular place is the size of it. It gets packed really fast! Parking is also horrible! \n\nI only go here during the weekdays when it is not as packed. When it is empty, it's a great quiet place to study. They have long booths so that fits more people who need plugs and room for their laptops.",
"Oh my god, this is the worst CCs I have ever been to. Every time I have a bad experience here, you'd think that I would learn and not go here anymore. They are SO slow, not efficient in the drive through at all, leading to huge lines. One time their credit card machine was down and I, cash phobic, was not told this until AFTER I waited in the drive through and ordered. Seriously? It's like they have no standards here. I have had great experiences, as far as quality of customer service and quality of product, at other CCs. \nThat being said, the employees at this CC's are always very nice and every once in a while I have an incident-free experience, but it's just not worth the headache to go here."

"Supposedly, this is the joint where the Ruth of Ruth's Chris learned this now infamous formula....\n\nButter + Sizzling Steak = Ooh La La\n\nTheir steaks are divine, my filet was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of butter. The potatoes au gratin makes my want to join carbaholics anonymous. The service is sweet and personable....leave the hoitty-toittiness at Ruth's Chris.",
"Had a business lunch here July 16. First, I love the look of the place. Private booths, wood paneled bar, tiled floors and walls. Nice.\n\nHowever, I've had much better steaks. I had my favorite cut of steak - the rib-eye. This one had too much marbling and was a little too greasy. It was cooked to the temperature I wanted, though.\n\nWe started with the onion rings. Awesome. I had a side of the German potatoes, which were good. My friends has the Au Gratin, which looked great.\n\nI will go back here one day, but will try a different cut of beef.",
"We frequent here and always have the same waiter, same great service, and always have great steaks. For us it's a no brainer as we are supporting great local business and getting great food in return.",
"Love the curtained dining, hate the service. The au gratin potatoes were sweet. I don't mean a little sweet. I mean like someone dumped an entire sack of sugar in them. The steak was about the same as Steak and Ale. I have no clue what the hype is. It was recommended to me as a \"cheap version of Ruth's Chris\". Not even close.",
"Listen, I heard this place had a long history but let me say it's one of the most overpriced places and the price DOES NOT match the quality.\nI was absolutely stunned at the steak and quality for the price it was.\nThe sides were good but $45 just for my steak and sides ? sorry but it's just not a place I ever plan to go back to. I'll pay $45 but not for what they offered and the atmosphere lacks immensely.\n\nFor that price I'd have gotten a FAR better meal at Lilette for possibly less or Luke. Again just being honest.\n\nJust not worth it - honestly.",
"I wish I could report good things about Crescent City Steak \"A New Orleans Tradition\" but, there is nothing nice to say. Apparently just because a steak cost 45.00 dosent mean its any good. Even the salad was pretty bad. You just cant charge that much for such poor quality and then expect much as far as return customers go. The least expensive steak on the menu is 30.00 and it's basically homeless shelter quality grub.\n\nThe low-end $10 steak from Outback blows anything they have away. Its worth the drive and the wait to go elsewhere.\n\n\n\nOh well, chalk that up to trying new places...moving on.",
"Best Steak in New Orleans. At one point, it was ranked one of the best steaks in the United States by Playboy Magazine. My family and I have been going there since I was born but If you don't like steaks, this place may not be for you. The only things on the menu are steak and sides.\n\nThe old school atmosphere also gives the restaurant great character.",
"We wanted something off the beaten path where the locals go. We soon found out from our waitress that if we were daring we could venture out into the projects and head to this steak house. Since I grew up in the hood, this was no problem for me, but some of the others weren't so sure.\n\nOnce we got there on a Tuesday night, it was pretty dead. However, everyone was extremely friendly. This place has been there for many many years apparently. They still do things the exact same way they did 70 years ago. All their steaks come in from Chicago, and they are all handcut on site once you order your steak. They do a double age, a wet age, and then a dry age for a total of 45 days. I ordered the bacon wrapped filet for $25 (shocking!!) It was like butter in my mouth. The steak comes out sizzling on the plate, and it was fantastic! No steak on menu was over $33.\n\nThe wine list wasnt too great, but the people were friendly and the food was damn good!\n\nI definately would go here again!",
"Drawing the curtains closed really is quite fun. \n\nI had driven past the neon sign many times before, but I had never actually stopped in to dine until recently. Off-street parking was adequate (unusual for a New Orleans-proper restaurant), and the warm, inviting ambiance as we entered was the perfect antidote to a colder-than-usual December evening. \n\nThe food, delivered sizzling to our private corner booth with framed receipts on the wall from 1946, was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the ribeye - the butter used to prepare the steak was not excessive and did not detract in any way. The sauteed mushrooms ordered as a side allowed me to eat my steak as I like best. We were also able to bring our own wine, the sazeracs came with options (!), and my friend was even able to craft a vegetarian meal from the menu without difficulty.\n\nWith the curtains closed, we were still able to hear the hum of the restaurant around us, and the lighting was intimate. The waiter would occasionally return like a pleasant surprise to fill our water glasses.\n\nThe three of us shared the dessert - Z Pie, I believe - ostensibly named after the founder's daughter. Delicious.\n\nWhat a genuinely nice experience. Great service, little pretense, and a memorable evening.",
"The atmosphere here is excellent as proven by other reviewers but the food and service I have found to be unreliable and it pains me to give a low rating on a place that I have true love for. I just wish the experience was more consistent especially for the price!"

"Ok Locals, this is the place to go after the game, during the game and to celebrate the game! I love their wings! The yummy kick en Cajun are hot!! Whew! I have to eat the hot wings to cool my mouth down after those bad boys! The sweet jalapeno is yummy too! \nWe always see someone we know here and the kids see their friends! They have definitely achieved the family local label!\nGood food, great staff and always fun!",
"Great place to watch the Ravens beat the Bengals. Excellent wings, good potato skins, super cool wait staff. Will def return, even if there are too many Steeler fans there.",
"The perfect place to go after sporting events or watch the game on tv. Food is nothing special and not a wide selection of beer but a decent place to go.",
"Great local place with good food and wonderful attentive service. The standard Beefs menu, but in a recently renovated atmosphere. Owners are on site and tend to any need.",
"Every once in a while I think that chicken wings would be something good to eat, and that Beef O Brady's would be a good place to eat them. Most times I'm wrong about the latter. The wings often come out questionably cooked, and if you felt sick afterwards you wouldn't be the first person. The rest of the food is okay, but there's no real reason to come. The fries are okay, and probably the best thing they have, using industry standard Sysco 3/8\" French fries. Curly fries are a choice, but they are a bad one. Consider using ranch for your fries with hot sauce from the wings. If they served nothing but fries I would increase my rating to 4 stars, but unfortunately they serve other food in a futile attempt to be a restaurant as well as a bar.",
"stopped in for lunch, the bartender got us a drink super fast, waitress right behind her to get our orders, wife got a salad, I ordered a Cuban sandwich. she got French dressing instead of ranch, which is what she ordered, I got a club sandwich on pressed Cuban bread, definitely not a Cuban sandwich. food took a really long time to get to the table, wife commented on how long the growing season is for lettuce :) we saw our waitress 3 times, once to take our order, once to swap out the salad dressing and drop off the bill, and one to bring the change. For the price, I expected better, I won't be returning.",
"Well....this place is always busy. I am guessing it is due to the location and the few restaurants in the area, but the food is bland, service really needs a pick me up, and the draft beer is flat (at least 2 of the imports were)....",
"I absolutely love Beef O Brady's especially this Lutz location.I love it because there's in arcade for my son to play in and my husbands food wow.We went today with the family here and we were impressed our Parmesan Chicken wings were delicious and our nachos were the B-O-M-B,the bomb.My Double Cheeseburger and Fries were amazingly delicious.This place rocks I would definitely like to come back",
"this is the place to go if you want a family atmosphere. the food there is awesome and the waitresses are awesome, the manager is awesome too,,,always helpful and the food is great.....good service and great location.",
"Good local place to run in for a burger and a beer. Not the greatest but pretty darn good. Thursday nights they do a family karaoke night which can be tons of fun for the kids."

"Ruby's is a fun lunch spot. There's even a toy train that makes its rounds above you while you eat! The interior of this particular Ruby's is like a 50's diner, like every other Ruby's Diner. It wasn't TOO packed when I came here a few weeks ago, so we were able to be seated quickly.\n\nI ordered American Kobe sliders (mini-hamburgers; $10) and a nice cold milkshake (mocha) to wash it down. There was so much milkshake I couldn't finish it. Their sliders are \"super-premium\" (whatever that means), with a light coating of thousand island-esque RubySauce and carmelized onions. The sliders had tender thin slices of Kobe steak that were as juicy as the buns they were on. I requested jalapenos on the side, which set off the onions nicely. Service was great - recommended!\n\nUPDATE 6/4/2008: Came back, tried the sliders again, and they were juicy juicy - and our server (Emily L.) rocked so hard, so fast, I didn't know what hit me!",
"When i was in college and going to KOP was a big adventure, i ALWAYS wanted to go here. I was introduced to Rubys by my friend from Southern California, where they are everywhere! This place was great.\n\nIt is normally pretty crowded if you go at like exactly 12 or around dinner time. I reccommend going at an \"off\" time\n\nThe milkshakes are awesome. My favorite is the mocha although they always have seasonal ones that are tasty. \n\nI always seemed to order the chicken Cesar sandwich which was always fantastic. The one thing that was annoying is that their sandwiches don't come with fries, so you have to order them separately, but you can always get a big one to split\n\nThey have a sandwich that is pretty much like the day after thanksgiving sandwich and it is fantastic. They also have pretty good seafood options. My dad loves the fish tacos, which he orders every time... just for the \"halibut\"",
"Okay, first a diner is in a diner car not in a retail space that used to be a book store or a leather handbag store. It totally fits the mall atmosphere (that's not a great compliment). I think the food is OK and that accounts for the 2 stars. But decent food alone only gets you a decent rating. The atmosphere is like a theme park and since its in the mall it really adds to the over the top theme park feel. The space itself has no redeeming qualities and it feels more like you're in a pharmacy. Actually, I take that back because I've been in pharmacies that have more atmosphere. If you go to this \"restaurant\" will someone please pick up my prescription for vikadin? Zzzzzzzzzzzzz!",
"It's actually been years since I've been to Rudy's and there's a good reason for that. Rudy's can suck it. \n\nMy ex-husband and I (well, we were married at the time, I don't regularly hang out with my ex-husband or anything. He's a good guy, but you know, I'm kind of remarried and that would just be awkward and I fully realize that I could have said \"my now, ex-husband,\" but I like to watch myself write) were in the mall, and we figured that Rudy's was a good choice for a quick meal. \n\nJust as we were walking in, we spotted a \"then\" co-worker of mine, who told us not to waste our time, because the service sucked. I figured that I'd give it the benefit of the doubt \n\nThe service? It sucked. The waitress took forever to get to us (it wasn't crowded). She took our order. Disappeared and then when she came back with our food, she dropped our check off, stating that she was going to be getting off her shift, but if we needed anything, we could flag someone down. \n\nWTF? \n\nWhen have you ever been to a \"restaurant\" where someone says that? Normally when a server is getting off their shift, they come by with their replacement or the replacement comes by and alerts you that they're your new server. \n\nAnd of course no one around to be found. \n\nI wrote corporate headquarters a scathing email, and let them know how disappointed I was in their craptastic staff and that I would never ever go back again. And what did they do? they offered to send me a bunch of gift certificates. \n\nSeriously. There's tons of places to eat in the mall. Not that any one is better than another, but there's no special appeal to this place other than it looks like a 50's diner. That should not be enough of an incentive for anyone to love this place.",
"#1: Get a shake and all will be well.\n#2: Get the jalapeno cheese sticks and all will be well.\n#3: Get a burger, especially one of the \"American\" Kobe burgers and all will be well. (No really, other than 5 guys, they are the best burgers around)\n#4: Get another shake, cause damn are they delicious.\n#5: Get sick, but it'll be worth it, I promise!",
"I rather like Ruby's. It has a \"Johnny Rocket's\" faux-retro feel to it and you can get the healthy veggie burger and nopt eat all that fried food. It's inexpensive and a nice place to take a break from the hectic mall. It's good for lunch or an afternoon snack and you can brin g the kids without fear.\n\nThe burgers (I get the veggie kind) are flavorful, too.",
"we had this chain back home, and it was decent there, too. \n\nfine, if a bit pricey, diner-fare pretty much. great milkshakes, good turkey burgers.",
"Besides the really good burgers and the unlimited order of fries, Ruby's breakfasts are amazing! They have this one dish, Cinnamon Roll French toast. It's a cinnamon roll dipped in batter and then pan fried. Brilliant! \n\nIt's best to split this dish though. It comes with 3 cinnamon rolls and while they are so tasty, you can put all three down, you won't be able to move later. Trust me, I've tried.",
"Ruby's is another one of my absolute favorite '50s diners (and from reading my reviews of Nifty Fifty's, Back 2 The 50's, etc., you all very well know how much I LOVE '50s diners and anything from that decade) and being there inspires me as to how I want to decorate my kitchen when I have my own house--lots of red, vinyl, chrome, and best of all, Coca Cola paraphernalia adorns the diner's walls. The best part--the food is great and satisfies my cravings very well. Haven't had one of their milkshakes in a very long time but that is one of their signature menu items and there are tons of different flavors. Unfortunately, it's not very often that I go to King of Prussia (only once or twice a year if I'm lucky) so consequently I don't get to go to Ruby's as much as I'd like to...I just wish they'd open one closer to Philly!",
"Ruby's in the King of Prussia mall is simply fabulous! We just ate there last night and it was just phenomenal!!! Such a good flavor to everything and the food came out quick, I actually looked up dumb founded at the waitress and commented something like, \"Oh, it's here already?\" She joked that she could take it back if we weren't ready, but the smells were already making us salivate. The burgers are just amazing. Probably one of the best burgers I've had the pleasure of eating in a long time. Also, had garlic french fries. WOW!! If you don't like garlic, then do NOT order these fries. You really gotta love garlic to enjoy these. They were awesome. My bro had the cajun fries and those were great too. Hot and spicy like cajun should be. I highly recommend Ruby's to anyone. The food really is simply amazing. I'm looking forward to trying their pulled pork sliders next. Those look mouth wateringly good!"

"Husband and I went to Heights Public Market and landed on Cuban. Wow. Taste like no other. The flavors were amazing. \n\nI built a Cuban bowl. I did ropa vieja, green beans, garlic tostados and Cuban slaw - fresh fresh fresh. Meat was so tender and so full of flavor, green beans were crisp and seasoned beautifully, slaw was the bite of acid the dish needed and the tostones were packed with flavor. \n\nMy husband has the steak sandwich. Delish as well. Mine was the best through :) \n\nWe also tried the app Cuban Salchipapa - out of this world. Flavors were amazing. Couldn't stop eating. We actually ended up skipping dinner we were still full. \n\nPrices are steep but hey atmosphere is killer and food is amazing. I'll pay it.",
"Ended up at Armature a couple days ago, as I've been meaning to see what all the hype was about. I was impressed. Project isn't complete but I like the vision. After venturing around and looking over menus, I settled on Hemingway's. Had read about the Cuban sammich and was dead set on ordering one as the sammiches in the area are subpar. Miami Cuban over Tampa Cuban all day.\n\nFirst impression: female that took my order, got my name wrong 3 times. Then I spelled it for her and when my order was ready, called me by a different name. My name is Alvin and she called me Edwin. Again, I even spelled it for her. Maybe it's the new Starbucks?\n\nOpened my small box and the sammich was appealing and my one disappointment was, would it be too much to get a 3rd fried plantain/tostone? The tostones had a nice garlic flavor but a 3rd one would have satisfied my appetite. The Cuban sammich was a solid 8 out of 10. Maybe I'm just not a fan of salami and serrano ham. Roast pork could use a bit more flavor. \n\nOverall, the food was good. A 3rd tostone wont kill business and isn't too much to ask for. \n\nStill think Bodega in St Pete offers one of the best Cuban sammiches in the area.",
"I wish this had been a better experience. \n\nFirstly the Cuban is good. Good flavor. Small. For the price I'd hoped for more, especially given the nearby authentic Cuban spots.\n\nThe yuca fries were terrible. Texture like wet cardboard. Lacking any flavor at all. Some weird mushy yuca they breaded and fried. Not what you expect when you hear \"yuca fry\". \n\nWhen I tried to get a sauce to make them bearable, I was told the 2 sauce options they have were $1 each. Just bought a whole meal, but we're gonna charge you extra for a little sauce cup. Never mind just some ketchup then. Oh. No. They don't even have that. \n\nI'm willing to give it another shot but not holding my breath.",
"HORRIBLE! Terrible customer service. I ordered a sandwich, paid almost $14 and was told I would be called when it was ready. 30 minutes of waiting patiently I finally had to ask for a refund because my order was still NOT ready. When I asked for a refund no one knew what to do, no one apologized for the wait or offered anything while I waited. Best part is the manager was there! Very incompetent employees... no one had a clue when the food would be out. Apparently, they messed up my order but no one made an effort to tell me, apologize, or offer anything for the half hour wait. They were actually HESITANT to refund me LOL. This is not a sit down restaurant... a sandwich should not take over 30 minutes. Do yourself a favor and get your food in under 10 minutes at any of the other great restaurants with people that actually greet you when you order. Note: I was not the only customer waiting over 20 minutes. I saw 2 other people leave and head over to Graze with me and some other poor woman had to ask if her order would be ready anytime soon!",
"Amazing Cuban cuisine! Try the homemade sangria. It's a family recipe and quite possibly the most amazing we've ever had. The Salchipapa is out this world delicious too. Give it a try. Kaydinn and Patience took excellent care of us.",
"Would have been ok had the cilantro rice not been old/cold/expensive and actually had cilantro in it. The meat (tried both pork and chicken) was very good and not dry at all and well flavored. Service could use improvement, we waited quite some time both to order and for the check/card return when it was not very busy. People working were just sort of loitering.",
"Why 4 stars? Because I enjoyed my first experience and would like to check them out again.\n\n --- --- ---\n\nMy wife and I visited #HPM on the first day that it was open and after much deliberation, Hemingway's was one of the vendors we decided to patronize. While I was eye-balling the El Ultimo, my wife peer pressured me into getting a Cuban sandwich. I've pressured her into ordering what I want to try, many times in the past, so I obliged. Plus, I'm never upset when \"forced\" to eat a Cuban sammy.\n\nBut then I got a little crazy and also ordered chicarones and the guava & cheese empanadas. Not to mention, yuca fries on the side with my Cuban. I don't have a lot of self-control.\n\nUltimately, it was probably a bit too much fried food for one sitting. If I could have gone back, I probably wouldn't have ordered the chicarones. They were a-okay, but probably not worth ordering again. My wife loved the dessert empanadas, while I thought they were pretty solid. \n\nI think we shared the same opinion on the Cuban sandwich that we did on the empanadas. She seemed to really love it, while I thought it pretty tasty. I like when all of the meat in the middle is at least warm, rather than the outside of the bread being toasted, with a colder center. Maybe that violates some kind of traditional Cuban laws, but I just enjoy a consistency in temperature. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it though! And I actually really loved the yuca fries!\n\nWhile I'm still working to make my way around to every HPM vendor, I really want to return to Hemingway's for that steak sandwich!",
"Food looked good and smelled delicious! Once receiving food was very salty and dry needed sauce and was told to pay $3 extra for the sauce. Poor management handling of my needs.",
"This is hands-down the best Cuban food in Tampa... every time I go, I try something different, and I honestly can't figure out which I like best! El Ultimo is proof heaven is real (steak sandwich with cilantro aioli and crispy potato sticks, and the bowls are also one of my go-tos because you can switch 'em up each time -- ropa vieja, cilantro rice/black beams, and green beans is a great combo, for anyone who wants to follow my lead. \n\nAlso, the SANGRIA. Red + white are both good... I can't even decide there! So, I just get both ;)",
"Good food but the quality doesn't seem to justify the prices. Seems they should lower the price point by a dollar or two for the entrees... $16 for a bowl seems a bit steep."

"This BYOB serves French-styled Thai cuisine. It's easy to find, right off Lansdale's sleepy main street, across from the train station. Street parking is plentiful and cheap/free depending on the time of day.\n\nThe interior is smallish, with about twenty tables. I've been told Nadia has great vegetarian entrees (it's their specialty) but since I'm not a good vegetarian, I ordered their duck curry and requested it spicy (it came out pleasantly piquant). Their drunken noodles are delicious - I've ordered it twice so far!\n\nPrices aren't skyhigh and their friendly wait staff serve dishes quickly! Worth a trip and highly recommended. Make reservations during the weekend to be safe.",
"I have been to Thailand three times and I have spent time in Chang Mai, Bangkok, and Phuket, and Nadia's in Lansdale has some of the best, most authentic Thai food I've had in the U.S. Often times, Thai food here is toned down for more sensitive American palates, but Nadia keeps it spicy enough. In addition, they have Massaman Curry (my favorite) on the menu, which is sometimes frustratingly difficult to find even in Thailand.\n\nTheir lunch menu is great and you get soup, an appetizer, and an entree for about $8. An excellent deal for such great food. And their Thai Iced Tea is perfect.",
"Up until the past month or so, I would have given 5 stars, hands down. Parking at the meters is only a dime for an hour, but can be a little difficult to manage with the one way streets your first few times going.\n\nWe tend to go once-twice a week for lunch because they have an outstanding lunch special. For about $10 (tip included), you get a soup, an appetizer, and an entree, with PLENTY of selections. \n\nFor about a month, I was a constant Lemongrass Soup, Spring Roll, Green Curry girl. Nothing could take me away. Before that I dabbled in Pad Thai, Silver Noodles, Crab Dumplings, and even the coconut soup, all of which were good. Lately, however, the Lemongrass soup has less spice. I used to hate to get to the end of the bowl, and now I find myself leaving it half-empty. The spring rolls have more herbs or something in them and just aren't quite as good (as well as being much smaller). The curry remains outstanding, and is the best I have ever had.\n\nI still recommend Nadia Thai for lunch, as I can't say anything about their dinners, and even with the slight changes lately, still deserve a four and a half.",
"Gone for lunch a few times. It's a great deal and everything has been very good. I esp liked the green curry. \n\nI usually get something to go as well, it's that good.",
"The price-performance ratio at Nadia Thai is fantastic. Even for dinner for the currys and pad thai you spend no more than $12 per plate. The shrimp pad -thai is delicious as is the beef green curry. It's a BYOB restaurant with the place having no more than 20 tables. A delicious reasonably priced restaurant. My boyfriend and I, go here more often than I'd like to admit. Perfect weeknight dinner out or in.",
"I have only been here once for lunch, but totally plan to go back. The coconut soup was wonderful, and I definitely reccomend it. I am a pad thai addict , and Nadia's was very good. The best part of the meal was the amount of food we got the the amout of money we paid. I love a good bargain! Anyway, the annoying part is definitely the parking. /i would reccomend parking on main street somewhere and walking over, but if you're a Lansdale driving professional and don't mind the weird side streets, go for the gold! Writing this has made me want some coconut soup so....yeah, I definitely say give it a try.",
"Yet another restaurant I love to frequent because of the delicious food and cozy atmosphere. I especially love the curry dishes--from red to yellow to green, they're all superb. The cream of mushroom soup is heavenly, as is the Jungle Queen (vegetarian option), Jungle King (meat-lovers option), Wild Ginger with stir fried vegetables and pretty much everything else on the menu. In fact, I find Nadia Thai to be better than several of the Philly Thai restaurants. \n\nDefinitely a great spot for quality Thai food in the 'burbs that's fairly reasonably priced!",
"Service can be slow because this place is usually quite busy and typically they have only one waitress at a time, as far as I have seen. Parking can be tricky (park behind the building or on the street if you can.) \n\nThe food however makes up for this. This is definitely so far the best Thai cuisine I've had and I have had thai, lots of thai. Once I try some, I go to various restaurants trying to find even better ones and then of course, go around recommending the eateries to everyone I know. ~~ *I even know people who come from different states to eat here. *~~ This restaurant is deceptively small on the exterior and is located in a inconspicous location by the train tracks. But when you enter, it is quaintly decorated special hole in the wall with great food. \n\nFor a first timer, I would say DEFINITELY try the lunch specials. They come with appetizer, soup, and a nice portioned entree with rice. I defnitely recommend the coconut soup, crab wontons, and masaman curry. All of the curries are wonderful and the Pad Thai is a standout. But masaman is the best.\n\nThe price is about $10 at lunch (including tax and tip). You will enjoy it!",
"My father suggested this place based on the reviews he has heard about it. We went for lunch and were both very happy with the results. For lunch the portions and price were perfect! For $9 a person from 11-3 on M-F, will get you a cup of soup, a small appetizer and your entree (decently portioned!). I went back for seconds that same week! Both times I had the pad thai (excellent). I have had the spring rolls, the crab dumplings (both worth it) and the shrimp corn fritters (dont bother with them) as appetizers. For soup I did the lemon grass and coconut. Both were delicious but for me, the coconut takes the prize. I have been craving it ever since. This will absolutely become a place I frequent.",
"My wife and I have gone to Nadia about every other month since we moved into the area four years ago. The food is well priced and portioned. I love the pad thai and my wife loves the curry, so we get to share when we go:) I've had some of the more expensive dinners (duck) and really enjoyed. The only reason I did not give five stars is because the appetizers are not the best. If you do get an app, go with the chicken Satay. Also BYOB."

"Formerly, El Rancherito Authentic Mexican Restaurant.\n\nAfter seeing numerous people commenting on this place on their facebook's and such I decided it was time to try it. I had never tried it before and figured it was time to start finding some Collinsville favorite places since I have been living back in town now for better than a year. \n\nFirst of all, people misjudge this place for not being the most fantastic looking joint. Sure, there are some bare bulb like fixtures and when we went the floor wasn't swept.. but once you taste this food, you won't really care.\n\nThe time it took to get our food was the only reason this place didn't get five stars. No big deal though, we weren't in any hurry and the chips and salsa were keeping us busy.\n\nI ordered the Pollo Carrisillos and it was awesome! By far, probably the best mexican food I've had to date and believe me, I've tried a lot of mexican food. Everything arrived piping hot, and the portion sizes are gigantic for the price. The dish I ordered had TWO chicken breasts on it and with all of the rice and beans etc I threw half of it into a tupperware at home to take for lunch the next day. Two full meals for less than 9 dollars, you can't beat it. My husband ordered the Chimichanga Fajitas and was equally impressed. \n\nRanchero sauce mixed with cheese and drizzled over the chicken, yum!\n\nDefinitely a step above the rest of the Mexican restaurants in town. The only other restaurant that seems to come close is La Fonda in Glen Carbon.",
"We really wanted to try this place and we drove on to a packed parking lot last night. However as we pulled around back to find a parking space, we saw an employ urinating by the dumpster. As we drove closer he quickly finished his business and went back inside. Even if my wife had allowed me to, there's so no way I would've even gone in after that. Very disappointing since it's obviously a popular place.",
"My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. They have moved up the street a bit and this address is wrong. It's now located at 1978 Vandalia. We go there about once a week. Food is cheap. Servers are very friendly. Food comes out of the kitchen pretty fast. It's always hot and good.",
"Needs a bar!! There is no place to wait and greet friends. Patio looks pretty good! Chips were were a little too thick. The salsa was a little runny. The guac was pretty good. The Pollo Jalisco was cheesy and good.",
"Hands down, one of the best Mexican food joints in this area. The portions are perfect! Every time I go to Carrisillos, the service is awesome, and the food is even better. I eorder the \"Pollo Zarape\" or the \"Special Dinner.\" Bring a big appetite if you plan on ordering the \"Special Dinner.\" Also, a frozen strawberry margarita is always a must! Damn, now i'm hungry for some Carrisillos!!!",
"Really excellent food, especially the Pollo Loco. As previously mentioned by others the portions are indeed very large. Super friendly staff that provided great service. Reasonably priced as well.",
"My favorite Mexican food in the St. Louis area. My mouth is watering just thinking about Carrisillo's. The food is great, the portions are big, and the prices are reasonable. Pet-friendly outdoor patio, and quick to-go orders.",
"I love this place! Yes, it's in a strip mall, but it has a great patio, and the food is great! They have a pot roast chmichanga that is out of this world. Great service, good prices, super food....love it!",
"Poor service but it depends entirely on which waiter. We've gone there often and the food is better than average (with one exception see below) and had good service, but this trip, it was almost 10 minutes to even get a waiter to come by and give chips and salsa and get drink order (I was 1 minute from just getting up and leaving). The food came for the 3 of us, but not a plate in sight to eat off of when we clearly stated in the beginning that we were sharing the 3 dishes. Watching him with other tables, he was clearly only paying attention as it came time to leave a tip, but not at other times during the meal. That being said, we have been happy with other wait staff on other visits.\n\nThe Shrimp Nachos were a huge disappointment, the limp nachos and less than generous amount of shrimp were buried under a large amount of lettuce. I've never seen lettuce on nachos.\n\nWe'll be back, but we will watch which waiter serves us.",
"Went there today and loved it. Excellent service, food arrived very quickly, it was hot and delicious. Definitely can't wait to go back there as soon as possible. I will be a regular customer! This is my new favorite restaurant. I give it five stars!!!!!"

"Oh my god! This place was so good. We started the mala halla. Just a warning it's cold but don't let that deter you. It was delicious. For entrees, I had the mama's dumplings and my boyfriend had the panko chicken (he's picky). Everything came out hot and tasted amazing. Will totally be back.",
"So happy to see chef Hao Gong have his own place. Food was spectacular, service was great and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We got the \"feed me\". Lions head soup (crab meat and pork meatball), Happy Buddha fish (sashimi quality fish perfectly cooked) and Shanghai smoked fish appetizer were some of the standouts. The panko chicken was a hit with my kid.. she still talks about it. Having followed Chef Hao over the years, I recommend putting your trust in him... take a journey and you will be rewarded! Looking forward to many returns and culinary adventures at LUVI!",
"I've been waiting for a restaurant to open similar to this for quite some time. Luvi certainly lived up to my hopes. We went tonight and opted for Luvi's omakase \"feed me\" menu, which gives you tastes of most all of the raw bar items. Wonderfully fresh fish is showcased with regional flavors like yuzu, or paired with truffle for a little something extra. Don't miss the stolen treasure, or really any of the raw bar items. To round out the meal, we ordered the mama's dumplings, and had some delicious smoked pampano (with possibly a soy reduction). The whole meal was outstanding. Service was wonderful. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. I can't wait to go back. New Orleans has needed a restaurant like Luvi for quite some time. Welcome, Luvi! We are so happy that you've arrived!",
"This restaurant has awesome food !!! The lion head soup it's delicious as well the dumplings and the panko chicken, everyone of the front of the house are very attentive in especial the bartender Dave, cool dude! I can't wait to comeback and bring my family.",
"First of all I am super excited to try this new restaurant. I believe this is the first Shanghainese based cuisine in NOLA. I can taste some of my favorite childhood dishes tonight. Chef Hao did a wonderful job bringing his experiences from Japanese cuisine into this cool new restaurant as well. Chef was able to preserve the traditional Shanghainese cuisine taste while adding elements of fusion dishes of Japanese, Sichuan cuisines. This was a delightful and the most welcoming dinning experience. I have to bring my friends and family back again.",
"This restaurant changes the New Orleans dining scene. Nowhere else can you find authentic Chinese food or truly innovative raw bar options, let alone under the same roof.\n\nWhen you walk in, you're greeted by a very friendly and helpful staff. The space is bright and fun: a preview of the meal you're about to indulge in.\n\nWe started with cocktails (delicious and well-balanced) and moved to a crisp bottle of white (only $24!). \n\nFor food, we requested the mixed \"Feed Me\" which pairs 5 raw and cooked dishes. This is omakase so basically whatever chef wants to feed you at that moment. Trust chef.\n\nDishes were tapa-sized and showcased a lot of the menu. Our favorites were the malla holla, the monkey bites and the squid with yuzu soy and truffle oil, but everything was fantastic. As Luvi starts to blow up, I really hope the food stays consistent because the execution was perfect and the fish was so damn fresh.\n\nBecause we couldn't resist, we also ordered the dan dan noodles and mama's dumplings. Dan dan noodles were good, Mama's dumplings were outstanding. Melt-in-your-mouth dumplings in a light, balanced soy broth. Get them or regret it for the rest of your life.\n\nAll in all, Chef Hao is killing it. I am so excited to go back ... like tomorrow.",
"I've driven by this converted house tons of times when it was the old Blue Dot donuts. A month ago, I noticed a new sign, but there was no indication as to what it was going to call this unassuming house home. I was excited to discover it was going to be a new restaurant of elevated Chinese food with Japanese influences!\n\nI made plans to check it out tomorrow for dinner since it's been on my list for several weeks now. But when I got off work early today, I figured I would do a little recon meal to check out what's good. Turns out it all is good!\n\nI started out with four dishes: two raw, one small and one medium. The Snow White, the Stoplight, the Mala Holla and the Dan Dan noodles. It was the perfect amount of food. But then my wooden leg said she wanted one more, so we went with another medium dish, the Mama's dumplings. I was stuffed, but it was worth it!\n\nEverything was delicious! The Stoplight was probably the best tasting raw fish I have tried anywhere in a long time! The seasoning/sauce is super light, but full of flavor! The whole experience just made me feel... happy!\n\nService was spot on. Dishes were paced well. Chef Hao was busy at work, but took the time to greet everyone from behind the bar. The decor is beauty and vibrant and fun. Eat here. Your taste buds will thank you!",
"I came here for lunch today with my boyfriend and was very impressed. What really stands out about this place is that it is not the typical East Asian cuisine that you find in New Orleans. The raw fish has the quality of a high end sushi restaurant, but with more creative (and delicious) dishes. The food from the kitchen was equally as divine, but still unlike the dishes served at restaurants (fine dining and hole in the wall) in the city.\n\nMy first impression of the restaurant was the beautifully decorated interior with lots of bold patterns. The food was incredible! We were both looking to have a lighter, but filling lunch and this completely exceeded our expectations. We started with the spring rolls which were great, but not indicative of the level of food that was to come. We followed the spring rolls with the Mala Holla and Mama's dumplings from the kitchen which were both delicious and beautifully plated. We finished off our lunch with the Monkey Snack and Salmon Salsa from the raw bar which were fresh, flavorful, and almost too pretty to eat.",
"Wonderful experience. The two of us had the \"feed me\" menu which was an incredible variety of unique and diverse dishes. The staff were very gracious, and made sure we had a very pleasant evening.",
"Went for dinner last night and had an amazing meal! We tried 5 different things and enjoyed them all. Favorites were the Snow White and the Dumplings! Sat at the raw bar where we could watch as delicious things were created! Food came out quickly and on a Saturday night my husband and I were able to eat and be on our way in just over an hour. It is not a large restaurant and so I'm not sure how great it would be for larger parties, but perfect for date night or just out with a few friends. Will definitely be coming back and wanting to try the Feed Me option! Love having y'all in the neighborhood"

"Palace of Asia is a journey: it transports me to another world and time-- the food and ambiance is classic royal Indian. \n\nI know my review sounds more like a drooling poem over their food... but Palace of Asia addicts will know why. I've been a loyal fan of this place since its prior incarnation as Bombay Cuisine. When Palace of Asia bought out this place, I was very dismayed.. but over time, they restored the classic ambiance of before and brought new charms of the very popular Palace of Asia branches. So it certainly won us over.\n\nThe food is superb and sublime, to say the least. I am especially fond of their saag paneer (spanich cream) and paneer veg (cheese cube curry). Unlike most Indian cooking, the food is not heavy or greasy-- nor in the other edge- mild or bland. It is fresher and lighter with the true authentic Indian spicing touch. I find this combination of authentic spicing blend with lightness rather rare, actually, among Indian cooking. \n\nTheir lunch buffets and dinner outings by the Cooper River is a highlight. Extensive and the best buffet ever. Being a vegetarian, I love the variety. My non-veg friends love this place too. \n\nThe best part is eating by the Cooper River, a charming area of this city. Palace of Asia is famous with its many branches.. but this one holds a charm of its own. The service is warm.. they treat everyone like family. They remember what you like and want.. and go out of their way to please you next time. They cater the menu to what we like.. as we often do take outs to eat by the river. \n\nI found some photos on their websites, which I posted. Note on the photos: I got it from their website before they revamped their place-- they did remodeling, and it's a lot more luxurious. But I think the window views of the park is the same gorgeous Cooper River, luckily. :)\n\nIt does close a bit early, even on weekends (10:30 PM)-- that's not nice. And it's a bit far away located in a silent almost hidden area, but that's plus in my view- like getting away from it all.",
"Great indian buffet place if you want some decent indian food. They have a wide variety of their specialties, so there is always something to cater to your taste. Whether you're trying out Indian food for the first time or you are a long time veteran, you can't go wrong with this place. My only gripe is that they raised the price a number of times... used to be 8 dollars for a lunch buffet. Now it's up to 10.",
"I'm a huge fan of Palace of Asia in general and definitely rank it up there in terms of my top five Indian Restaurant Favorties. It's by far, hands down, the BEST Indian restaurant in the area. I was thrilled when they opened in Cherry Hill and now in Philly (their sister restaurant is called Palace at the Ben) because before I would travel all the way to Princeton for their good eats! \n\nThe decor is royal. You feel like a Rani (Princess) eating here and they make sure that the service follows suite. They go out of their way to ensure a pleasent, satisfying dining experience that will make you come back again and again. You may go on a whim, but this intrigue will soon turn into a love affair with their creamy, flavorful, robust culinary concoctions. Their lamb chops are succulent and moist, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. The chicken makhni is rich and the sauce punctures the chicken just right to bring out its flavor. Their white chicken will leave you craving for more. The naan is toasted to perfection. Writing this is making me crave palace of asia for dinner tonight! \n\nAbove all else, they really cater to your needs. They want your opinions and will always remember what you like! The service brings you back to the way customer service is in India - where the sayings, \"That's not my job!\", \"That's not possible, Sir.\" , and \"We don't offer that on this menu.\" simply don't exist. This is a restaurant where they will make your request happen and will find a way to ensure that you walk away a happy customer. Definitely give it a try because it runs circles around Coriender Bistro, Gagan Palace, and Tandoor Palace!",
"incredibly satisfying dishes, in a gorgeous dining room with impeccable service!",
"Great buffet with a pretty decent selection. I enjoyed everything I tried...which was a little of everything on the buffet! My dinner companion and I agreed that it was better than most of the buffets we have been to in Philly. Service was also excellent.",
"Too, too great. Their lunch buffet can't be beat, and dinner is decently priced. Had the chicken vindaloo and it's pretty damn sweet. Service is impeccable there.\n\nThe location is a bit unexpected, it's attached to a hotel. Can be missed if you're not looking out for it. I am going to ask my partner to take me there again.",
"I went to Palace of Asia for a lunch buffet. They offer satisfying Indian entrees and the price is moderate for what they serve. Delicious food but I took off one star because they didn't offer many options for desert and the desert options they had were dull and unsatisfying; they only had the cheese balls cooked in some sort of syrup (which tasted like a munchkin from Dunkin Donuts drowned in high fructose corn syrup), and a \"fruit blend\" featuring some honeydew melon and grapes (which looked like it had been sitting out for a while). I've been to other Indian restaurants that offer a wider and better desert selection. \n\nHowever if you steer clear of the desert table, the rest of the food is quite tasty. The location is a bit awkward (connected to a motel?), but inside the place is roomy and well-decorated.",
"Worst food. Worst service. Stale items in Buffet.\n\nOrdered fish Tikka....tastes like a chewing a rubber piece.\nNo taste no flavor. Very rude server.",
"I read several reviews of this place. I tried to eat their for lunch one time, but was mislead. Now here's the scoop or poop. If you take route 70 west, you'll need to drive around the back of the America's Best Value Inn. The restaurant faces the Cooper River Park. I had read reviews and most of them were positive, however, I read a review from an Indian Restaurant Review web site that TOTALLY trashed this place. After going there, I'm convinced that the review I had read was either a competitor or a disgruntled employee. The place is classy with Excellent service. It's a BYOB. The staff is friendly and overly accommodating. The prices were competitive and the food was promptly served and fresh. This is an excellent place to take someone on a nice date or a business guest. The atmosphere was relaxing and the restrooms clean. For the price and ambiance, this place is a winner. The food was good. They boast about their daily luncheon buffet that I've yet to try but will be doing so soon. I've read raves on it and the price $ 10.95 seems to be a bargain. Will be back again soon. Enjoyed it.",
"I never knew what Indian was until I ate here. The food is crazy delicious! Since eating at Palace of Asia I've tried other Indian restaurants. Palace is by far the best. The atmosphere is classy, quiet and enjoyable even on a Friday or Saturday night. The service is fabulous. I asked for my food to be very mild and that is no problem for them. I think their favorite thing to say is, \"no problem.\" If you've never eaten Indian food order the Chicken Tikka Masala... trust me. Also, best rice ever. Also, try their mango drink. This is my restaurant of choice."

"cute little place with great turmeric lattes and breakfast sandwiches. everything is fresh and the staff is very friendly.",
"I do not review often but I felt this place is worth a visit. Very welcoming, i.e dog friendly and a solid cappuccino. *I have the philosophy of giving 5 stars only after I consistently visit a place, this was my 1st visit",
"Excellent Coffee and Service with some unique options. The neighborhood was in need of a place with healthy and affordable options for breakfast and lunch. \n\nWell done!",
"So excited to have this place in the neighborhood! Great menu options and really friendly service. So far tried the almond milk Matcha Latte and almond dirty Chai and both were fantastic. Update: Have now tried the food and it's great. Fresh ingredients, made with care and attention to detail. Also, they have free Haribo gold bears.",
"I love camping here with my laptop and a latte for a couple of hours, especially the past several weeks when I've had to finish writing my dissertation. The people who work here are super nice, and I've always been able to get a lot of work done here. They have an extensive drink and food menu (think nicer sandwiches). My lattes have always been spot on -- can't wait to try the food next time.",
"Super cute little coffee shop with tons of drink options (hot and cold, coffee and other) and great breakfast choices. \nI had the breakfast press with no meat (I could only eat half because it was huge) and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Will get both again!",
"I'm not sure if it was the type of coffee, or the brewing style, but that was the tastiest iced coffee I've ever had. Very strong too! Been sipping on it all day and when it's done I may have to go back for another. Very smooth, balanced, and flavorful. Highly recommended!",
"Such an amazing place with a great atmosphere! The new go-to for my wife and I as we bought a house just up the street. Great service, food, coffee, and more! Highly recommend and we will be going back! There should be more small coffee shops like this.",
"This place is amazing! I'm so lucky I live right around the corner. Awesome lattes and the avocado toast is so good! Can't wait to go back",
"I seriously try to get the avocado toast from here every chance I get. My husband and I frequent this cute cafe often and you can never go wrong ordering anything off their menu. Plus they have great vegetarian options (even though I'm not vegetarian). The veggie cheese steak is another of our go-to items. For drinks, I've had the mango splasher as well as the honey-citron splasher; both are very refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. \n\nThe cafe looks like it belongs in the nook of an art museum (in a good way!). There's a small area in the back that's perfect if you need alone time to study and do work on your laptop. Plus the owners the run this place are very friendly people. I'm really glad to have this coffee/tea shop so close to my home."

"I went here one Saturday afternoon. I walked in and it was like a ghost town. The people there looked like they couldn't care less about us being there. I order the rice paper spring rolls as an appetizer. There wasn't much they could do to screw them up. Then I followed with a Spicy Tuna Roll and a Spider Roll.I figured that we would take a step up if these rolls were decent. I could not believe how small the rolls were. Nothing special and my next steps were out the door. Terrible place! This is probably my worst review given since I started.",
"This place is in my top 3 sushi places for the palm harbor area. The atmosphere could be better, but the sushi is excellent and always very fresh. I haven't had a roll I didn't love yet! My favorite roll is the tarpon roll. I definitely recommend!",
"I ate here last night for the second time, The food was good, The service and atmosphere I found a tiny bit lacking, but I like this place, and I will go again. We had a wide assortment of Sushi that our party split between ourselves. It was tasty and a good value for what we got. I recommend that you try it! ------- Update: Went again on a Thursday night, place was busy, food - service bout the same. keeping my rating the same..",
"Overpriced, supermarket quality sushi shame on you.",
"Great place for lunch, never tried dinner but their combo boxes get me there at least twice a month",
"I have been going to this place since as far as I can remember, before they moved it from their original location. The staff can be quiet yes- but the majority have been working there since I've been going and they are the nicest people & remember not only faces but names too. Even after I moved away they remember me. I not only think it's the best place for Sushi in Palm Harbor, but 727 as a whole. definitely recomment the HOT BAGEL as it is one of the best rolls I have ever had in my life. I live in California now and I miss this place all the time. Definitely recommend it. A++",
"Best sushi EVER! Each roll has a lot of fish and not a thick band of rice filler. The fried shrimp is crunchy inside of each roll for a perfect balance of texture. The fish is fresh, cold and bright in color. My fav: yama big roll, bubba roll, mexican roll, and ocean roll, red dragon...to name my personal favorites. I dont like salmon so these rolls are tuna based only. \nThe service is typical Asian (cold) but its not personal, its culturally normal for us, lol! There hibachi is AMAZINGLY delish! We get steak hibachi takeout and wind up with 2-3 meals of food each! The taste is something special and reminds me of my moms cooking. \nThis is not a chain, its owned by a small family and run by them. Each order is hand made to perfection and the rolls are BIG! So, they take longer to make. If you want huge, delish, affordable sushi, look no further. If you want \"tiny\" 4-6 piece rolls of mostly rice, this is not your place. \nThanks for many years of great sushi,\nSarah & Ryan\n-------------------SIDE NOTE---------------------\n\nYelp seems to be helping those companies who \"complain\" about negative reviews, by hiding ( not recommending) the review and not counting them into the overall \"star\" rating.\n\nI thought I finally found a FAIR and HONEST review site...Guess they are just like ALL the others out there...FAKE/FILTERED REVIEWS",
"1. Friendly/helpful staff/good customer service\nIt's been a long time since I've been here and the main reason is #1 stated. All of the times I've come here, I felt like the staff really didn't care for my business. They just wanted to get it over with. There were short smiles but felt very insincere. During many fine in visits, my waitress would disappear after our order until the check was to be delivered. I just felt like \n\n2. Quality service/ overall happiness with service\nThe food and sushi was good. \n\n3. Cleanliness\nFrom what I speculated, it was appropriate. \n\n4. Reasonable pricing \nI've never had a problem with my bill and the prices were decent. \n\n5. Overall appearance of the business/atmosphere\nNice place. Cute. I like the atmosphere of the interior.",
"By far the best sushi around! We started eating here 13 years ago and have never been disappointed. (Yes before they moved into this location they were across the street) We have eaten most items from the menu and several off menu. We can call to order and they immediately recognize us. The staff is always friendly and the food incredible. If you like real Japanese sushi instead of the Americanized crap then this is the place to go. I could list the must have items but that's everything. So open a menu and point as everything is wonderful.",
"Awesome sushi spot. Service is always excellent and they have fantastic sushi at reasonable prices. One of my top picks for sushi in the area! If you have room for dessert, try the fried cheesecake!"

"Great place to grab a breakfast bagel and coffee in the morning or a sandwich in the afternoon. Prices are reasonable enough to make this an \"every morning\" kind of place. Owners are friendly and cheerful.",
"Yes! Finally a good breakfast delivery place. Now I can fully enjoy my hungover breakfast from the comfort of my bed. PS - bagel chips instead of potato chips. Amazing!\n\nEdit: just drank my \"latte\"...I'm pretty sure it's just coffee with mocha syrup :) -1 star",
"First visit to this very clean new business with a friendly staff and delicious food. We had lox and cream cheese on a sun-dried tomato bagel, with a large (24oz) cappuccino; and egg and cheese on an everything bagel, with a large latte. The bagels were great; just the right crisp to the outside and nice and chewy inside. The lox and cream cheese was delicious, and the egg and cheese was too, made fresh. The price seemed reasonable for as good as the food tasted and as large as the drinks were, about $21 total. Obviously, you can be out the door for much less if you're just coming for the great bagels. We'll be getting our home bagel stockage here from now on. To pick up my coveted fifth star, I'd like to see more coffee drink options and maybe slightly bigger portions for the sandwiches. Oh, supposedly this place delivers too! We'll certainly be trying that feature out in the coming days. Overall, great place. We'll be back.",
"I literally have no words. I feel robbed lettuce was yellow old and warm salad was missing ingredients I ended up having to turn it into a real salad by cooking food and taking the eggs and avocado and tossing the rest of it out. My danish was DRY with no filling and I am not exaggerating. I spent 22 bucks on nothing. They are however friendly people.",
"Ordered delivery from here two days in a row via grubhub.\n\nThe smoothies taste fresh and yummy. The sandwiches are good and filling, just enough meat but not overflowing. The bagel chips are really good ! I wish they sold them separately.\n\nTheir \"Create Your Own\" (sandwich) doesn't have nearly as many spreads as they actually do. The only choices available were mayo, ketchup and mustard, but their sandwiches say otherwise.",
"First time ordering after receiving grand opening flyer. Ordered one breakfast sandwich: two eggs with cheese. Added hashbrowns. Also ordered: three egg omelette with egg-white veggie and three cheese toppings, it was supposed to come with toast or bagel, I asked for toast. Delivery was about 50 minutes, not terrible but could have been sooner. Food was room temperature at best. Both orders incorrect. My omelette did not have the egg white veggie, it did not have the toast, it was as thin as two napkins on top of each other. Worse, I was charged more than the cost on the menu. The bagel did not come with the hashbrowns. They are not on Grubhub, we ordered by phone. Female had a heavy accent and asked us to repeat several times. This was their grand opening, so I suppose mistakes will happen but they are not off to a good start.",
"If I could rate lower than 1 star I would. First, order took over an hour to get, food arrived cold and missing the turkey bacon I ordered. Let's just say this is the first and last time I will be ordering anything from here.",
"Love these guys- i work nearby and always get a wonderfully made breakfast bagel... Super friendly owners. Much love.",
"I have been to my home town bagel shop many times and thought it was good. My son and I took a trip to Philadelphia on Sunday and stopped in for a quick bite. These were the best bagels I have ever tasted. I had the veggie cream cheese which was out of this world. The person who waited on me was the owner and she was very friendly.\nAs I read other reviews I only saw 2 negative and it seems as they were from people that has delivery. Get out of bed and go to the store, it is well worth the trip...\nThanks for a pleasant experience and a friendly greeting...",
"I have been here many times for breakfast and lunch. Consistently very good for what it is. Bagels are excellent for Philadelphia. Staff and friendly and accommodating. Very eager to please. I think many of the negative comments had more to do with their adjusting as a new business and I would give it a second chance."

"this is for basically all the bullys. This is the one I have been to the most. I am sick of being served by B#*U@s! Seriously, they hire the the meanest, slowest, stupidest servers (EXCEPT my friend who just started but she says she works w/ bitches too lol). Maybe if they ever ever ever had a smile on their face they would make some tips. I am sick of acting like I am harming and incoviencing them by eating there. \n\ntoday, I asked, \"what kind of tomato juice is used for the bloody mary's?\" \"I dont know\" \"Is it like v8 or some other sort of tomato juice?\" \"Its not v8. but I dont know otherwise\" \n\nUmm okay, do I have to spell it out for you to maybe go and ask the bartender? I like clamato for bloody mary's which is why I asked her. Course that would have required work, which is hard for her. \n\nLe sigh. \n\nTake off your stupid fedora hat too. \n\nOnly two stars b/c of their happy hour specials.",
"So been frequenting this place since opening. Customer service is getting a lot better. I just want to say that THIS IS A BAR first. People expecting more should go to AppleBees. For a bar this is one of the best in town. Food is bar food and is good as the fare goes. \n\nGreat for UFC fights and sporting events.\n\nPlease quit expecting a bar to have the smiling waiters and happy cheery people doting over you. THEY PUT UP WITH DRUNK IDIOTS for a living cut em some slack.",
"Food here is generally good but the service is incredibly slow......We come here often because the food is cheap, tasty and you get lots of it. I recall one morning stumbling in for a quick breakfast and it ended up being a 2 hour let down......\n\nGive it a try....who knows maybe it will be on a good day LOL",
"One of the few places close to me that serves Guinness on tap.\n\nThe food is not as good as it used to be, but as long as I can get a pint every now and again, I'm happy!",
"I like most bully's but this one has no atmosphere. And I you bring kids you are not allowed to have a beer. The one on Rob is better!",
"Specialty drinks are good, food is delicious, but it is a bit loud.\n\nI went for a birthday party and enjoyed great pizza, chicken tenders, and french fries. There's something about the chicken tenders here. They're big, and some of the best I've ever had. \n\nThe happy hour here is pretty fab. $2 wells. The specialty drinks, especially the berry blitz are delicious, but not super strong. This particular drink has blueberry and raspberry vodka. \n\nThis place is a sports bar and thus kinda loud. But if you're looking for a good place to drink beer and watch the game, look no further.",
"My beef with Bully's has always been the slow service, so I avoided them for a few years. This Bully's is very close to my house, and living way out here in BF Egypt, I always felt it ashame that I didn't utilize this restaruant, but I didn't like spending so much time eating and stewing over slow service..lol. A couple of weeks ago we decided to give it the old college try and return to this close-by Bully's. We went for dinner and happened to get there before 6:00 pm and Happy Hour was still going. They have 16 items for 6.00 4:00-6:00 pm. I got the fish and chips and it was good. Hubby got a burger, and claimed it o.k. Anyway, the service at that visit was quick and friendly. I went alone for breakfast today. 11:00 a.m on a Weds. I wanted the 2.99 special that runs Mon-Fri 24/7. It's 2 eggs cooked to order, 2 pieces of bacon or one sausage patty, hashbrowns and toast. I ordered my eggs over hard, bacon and rye toast. It was just enough food, not over-loaded. No stack of toast, just one heavy piece of rye bread nicely buttered cut in half. Who needs a stack of toast? Not many people in there at that time and the waitress was there as soon as I sat down. So..the eggs weren't over-hard as ordered, but over-easy. Oh well, I dug in anyway. The waitress came by to check on me and noticed the eggs were runny. She offered to take them back and re-do my order, but I told her don't worry about it. I do kind of like over-easy eggs, so no biggie. She was spot on and friendly. No complaints from me the last 2 times I've been at this location. I will return again. :)",
"Could have been good but everything was served lukewarm so it was just ok. I ordered the turkey burger Mexi style with texas toothpicks and fries. My son ordered the nachos. When he got his food the cheese was congealed. He still enjoyed it but I was put off. My fries were almost cold and the burger was warm. Burger was good but couldn't eat the fries. Server was nice but just wasn't very attentive. However, it was only her second day. Overall, won't be back. The place was dead and it took 40 minutes to get our food. I'd hate to think what the service would be like when it was busy.",
"They make pretty dang good pizza here. My husband and I create our own. Medium with white sauce, chicken, garlic, jalepenos, and mushrooms. It is delicious! Crust is perfect and just enough cheese. We always leave with leftovers for lunch the next day! I do have to say some drinks can be pricey, but I am only their for their pizza, and deep-freid pickles! haa!",
"Only 2 because of the food. Server Alex was lucky she got the 79 cent tip that we did leave. Son arrived first orders 2 waters and coffee took her 10 minutes to,return with coffee(place wasn't that busy) she then waited again to ask for order we were ready when she dropped off coffee. Son wanted a beer with breakfast she never even asked. Dropped off food never bothered to check back. Went to complain at bAr was told manager was counting money. Only person by a register was our server. Certainly hope she wasn't manager. Left .79 and she never returned with any change to see if maybe we wanted to add to it. Guess what guys, You're in. Customer service industry better start improving your service. Can't wait for Buffalo Wild Wings to open!!! Think next time ill call ahead to order food to go!"

"Finally Conshy has a good place to get coffee. Cute little store front up by 9th and Fayette. Great coffee, friendly staff and delicious pastries! No more trekking up to Starbucks or suffering through a cup of crap from the local deli. Hopefully they'll get their outdoor seating soon!",
"So happy to finally have a neighborhood coffee shop. The atmosphere, employees/owners, coffee - all great. Haven't tried the pastries, but I've had coffee three different ways. Definitely a fan!",
"Right around the corner...\nCool decor, very clean, and friendly staff.\n\nGlad to have a coffee spot in town. 7-11 was just not cutting it.\nI am fairly new to fancy coffee/drinks of this nature...but the skim latte was delicious.",
"Attention Starbucks Graduates, Feine will provide the next phase of your coffee education. Here you will learn the value of fresh, recently roasted coffee prepared by skilled baristas. \nThis place is the real deal, no more having to travel long distances to enjoy a proper cup of coffee or choosing to stay local and settle for a mediocre alternative. The staff is friendly and the selection of hot and cold beverages is outstanding.",
"Quaint coffee shop serving specialty coffees, teas, soft drinks and pastries, with plans to expand their menu to include breakfast and lunch sandwiches in the near future. Indoor and outdoor seating; tables and chairs inside for quiet reading or if you need a work area while enjoying your beverage. Wi-Fi available. On street parking. They do have a Facebook page and further information can be found on their website www.conshyfeine.com",
"You really can't beat the coffee at 'feine. Best espresso in Philly, right here in Conshy. I get a few shots over ice with some vanilla or caramel syrup and it is amazing. \n\nService is super friendly, which is a nice change from the snootiness you sometimes find at good coffee shops. It's a perfect place to hang out and do work for the day--plenty of space and large tables, bright and cheery atmosphere. \n\nThe bagels and pastries are delish, and I love that they also have more substantial food like yogurt & granola, fruit cups, veggies & hummus. \n\nThey use Intelligentsia beans, which you can also buy to take home--thank god, because it was almost impossible to find good espresso beans around here.",
"I was so excited to see this place open up right down the street from my house & was finally able to stop in this past weekend. Unfortunately, the first impression didn't leave me wanting to rush back this following weekend. \nI was greeted by a man & woman behind the counter - the man was extremely friendly & taking everyones' order, the woman was yelling at Verizon on the phone about their internet being down. In between that, she was basically barking orders at the man & providing short, uninterested responses to inquisitive customers. The wait in line felt really awkward. I ended up getting the house coffee & it was eh - okay, the everything bagel I got was really fresh & good. Maybe/hopefully it was just a busy morning & both the coffee & customer service were a little off.",
"Eclectic little coffee house in Conshohocken. Great cold-brewed coffee, very good espresso. Free WiFi, outdoor seating, and plenty of indoor tables.",
"Wow - this spot in Conshy has great coffee, outstanding interior for work or study and friendly baristas. Kills Starbucks by a mile. Trade up and go local!",
"Finally a great place to work! Very peaceful, spacious, and they have a lot of outlets for computers and free wifi. Good coffee too, and the staff is really nice. 5 stars!"

"If you're looking for the most incredible popovers with lemon butter (which I know you are), look no further. A fancy, romantic and quaint inn where you can enjoy the atmosphere and food by a roaring fire. If you're looking for a getaway, you can even book a night in the inn!",
"5 stars for the food, the environment, and the thoughtful service.\n\nIt's a quaint country farmhouse converted to a wonderful, romantic restaurant, with tables spread throughout its many rooms, most of which have only a few tables providing an intimate, classic dining experience.\n\nThe food is uniformly fantastic, from the classic Caesar salad prepared tableside, to the big, rich Maryland crab cakes wholly comprised of fresh crab meat and plated across a pair of spicy and pesto sauces. Lobster crepes (stuffed with equally massive amounts of lobster), truly rich lobster bisque, moist tender rack of lamb, and obscenely intense veal tenderloin with exotic mushroom sauce (a special) were equally brilliant examples.\nMy only observation and minor nit about the food was that the meat was not precisely cooked - all the smaller medium-rare items were solidly medium, while the larger filet mignon, ordered medium, came out medium-rare. But all were delectable, and very tender.\n\nDesserts were equally brilliant, from the Belgian dark chocolate mousse to the Austrian cheese strudel.\n\nThe wine list is reasonably large and well selected, especially considering the location, though the markup is enormous. Unfortunately, due to the exorbitant licensing fees charged by Pennsylvania, this is more or less unavoidable, and with a careful search (and sufficient knowledge) reasonable value items can be found.\n\nService was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable (though the average wine knowledge of the servers isn't large).\n\nIf you're looking for a fantastic meal in an out-of-the-way, rusticly romantic environment, look no further.\n\nThey also have a B&B with quite reasonably priced rooms on site.",
"My Mom and I have been going to Duling-Kurtz for years and it has always been fantastic! Out of all of the amazing meals I've eaten here, I still go here manly for the warm popovers and lemon curd!",
"I love this place. Being a big fan of German and Austrian food this place is simply right up my alley. Even if you are not, the food is very refined and the menu extensive enough where if you want a traditional German meal you can have that, or if you want something more American that is available as well. \nThis is a place to take your wife or girlfriend out for a distraction-free romantic dinner where you don't have to worry if the food or service will be good enough, both are excellent! Tucked away in a very inconspicuous place in Exton (of all places), you'll find when you walk through the doors that you don't feel like you just turned off Route 30 by a Sunoco, but that you are somewhere very far away. The service is exceptional and the waitstaff are very courteous and well-trained. Definitely dress up (guys that means a jacket at a minimum). I prefer the center room with the large fireplace but I'm sure all the rooms are equally as private and cozy. \nBack to the food, the wiener schnitzel is excellent. If you have had an authentic wiener schnitzel in Austria this will be as close to that as you can get on this side of the Atlantic. I can also vouch for the petite file being excellent, very tender and served with a very very tasty glaze. \nThe only \"problem\" is that it is an expensive place to eat. This is not your everyday dinner spot, but more likely a place to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. However when you do go, you'll find that it's well worth the money. If you've never been here don't be afraid to try this place, even though the menu might seem intimidating, you are guaranteed a fabulous time and an excellent meal.",
"Duling Kurtz House is quintessential destination dining. A charmingly restored farmhouse in a quiet bucolic setting provides the perfect backdrop for a romantic evening or special occasion. My friends and I sat in one of the private rooms for a birthday party. Among the best dishes ordered were my ostrich, the veal, the filet, and the salmon. We also shared a few dozen oysters at the table. BTW, I learned at DKH (their monogram) that months with an \"R\" do not indicate seasonality for oysters. This old wives tale came from the fact that in summer months, oysters just didn't keep. \nThe overall experience at DKH, from the knowledgeable staff (re: oysters) to the wine list, to the puff pastries, to the starters, mains, and desserts was among the best outside of the city. The only drawback, other than the hour long ride to Exton, may have been the prices. Starters came in on average at 15, mains began in the mid 20's and continued up to 75 for chateaubriand for two. But, don't stay away for these reasons. Go, even if it's just once. You'll come away happy",
"I love the Duling-Kurtz House. The food is always excellent and they have seasonal fare. The popovers and and the lemon curd are fabulous. This is a special place to take your significant other or to impress a client or even a mother-in-law. We go there for our anniversary quite frequently. They did a fantastic job for us on our 25th wedding anniversary aand their staff is top notch. Don't worry about the pricing, it's definitely worth it.",
"Duling-Kurtz is a good restaurant, with a nice, elegant atmosphere and a helpful waitstaff. \n\nThey have a menu that has an OK variety, and everybody seems to be a fan of the lemon butter popovers, though I don't prefer them. Their waitstaff is pretty helpful and always offers coffee and tea when taking orders.\n\nI don't like to go to Duling-Kurtz for a casual meal, because it's a little bit old-fashioned to me: the food on the menu, the dining area, and the restaurant itself. It's very classy but it feels very formal. This is a great place to have a wedding or some other formal event like brunch, but in my opinion, the feel of the restaurant isn't very casual, so make sure to wear something nice. \n\nAlso, it's not really a great place to take lots of kids, like for a family meal, because it's a very quiet, reserved place. I've seen a lot of elderly people eating there. Another bad thing is that it's a little more on the expensive side, so once again its not a really good place to eat casually with a friend. \n\nDuling-Kurtz has pretty good food and a nice staff. But I rated it 3/5 because I am more into hip, modern eateries.",
"For a special occasion this place is hard to beat. While pricey, their staff take every effort to make your meal memorable. For a larger party (8 or so) ask to be seated in the dining room with the fireplace. It is like eating dinner in George Washington's dining room - gorgeous! The popovers and lemon curd are not to be missed!",
"I book the Inn and restaurant for my wife's birthday and was extremely disappointed, nothing like all the positive reviews I've read from others. \n\nDinner - We had early reservations and thought we would walk over early to take advantage of the happy hour specials. We walked into the bar and the only other person was the bartender, standing behind the bar and talking on the phone. He immediately made eye contact with both of us and continued walking someone through changing the ink in a printer. a minute later he looked up again; this continued to happen for about 5 minutes. NO acknowledgment we were there, no universal \"one minute\" gesture, just kept talking. We left and skipped the reservation. I would say this was the rudest I've ever been treated at a restaurant. \n\nInn - I'm pretty specific in terms of questions when I book a bed and breakfast. King Bed? Private Bath? Air Conditioning? Private Balcony? The only one that was true was the private bathroom. The bed turned out to be a queen, the AC is controlled at the discretion of the innkeeper (it had to be 80 in the room), and the private patio is a concrete slab with a wood fence around it with all the dumpsters adjacent. In terms of the \"quaintness\", the inn is just old and run down. The people that own it/work there just seem not to care.\n\nNever again!",
"We had our wedding at the Duling Kurtz over Labor Day weekend, and I cannot even begin to explain how incredible the staff, atmosphere, and food is at DK! Michael, the owner's son, and Sam the manager were so helpful throughout the entire event planning process, and made sure every detail was perfect for our big day. They went far above and beyond when the little bridge over the creek was washed away by hurricane Irene days before the wedding, and had a crew come in to build a brand new bridge just for our wedding! The food was out of this world, and the staff was so sweet and friendly, my guests are still talking about how great the waiters were and how incredible the food was. We also stayed at the Inn for our wedding night, and for getting ready before the wedding. It is so darling and cute! The quaint vintage colonial room made amazing \"getting ready pictures\" in our wedding album. The entire experience, the inn and the restaurant, was A+."

"I absolutely love the fresh-pressed tortillas and their hot sauce. I have been going to Pancheros since college in Iowa City and finally have a local spot to get my fix on.\n\nHere are the items I usually get:\n\n1. Steak burrito, rice, black beans, corn, pico de gallo, and 2 scoops of hot sauce.\n2. Steak salad, black beans, corn, pico de gallo, 3 scoops of hot sauce, and 2 large tortillas on the side.\n3. Chips and queso.",
"This place knocks qdoba and chipotle out of the water. All of their tortillas are made fresh and the nice thing is that the workers here speak english. I had a chicken burrito sans rice (too filling) with black beans, cheese, cheese sauce, pico, and sour cream. It was very very good and I like the fact that they mix your ingredients so that every bite is a balanced mix of what you asked for. Good prices as well and fast service. We'll be back!",
"The fresh tortillas are the best idea in a growing burrito restaurant market. Mixing the ingredients before rolling is a nice touch as well. No more mouth full of guacamole with one bite. The food was hot and everything was fresh. Chips and queso are awesome too and come with blue corn chips. The price is comparable with Chapotle and Qdoba but I think I prefer Panchero's for the freshness.",
"First time here and I'm a fan. I believe Pancheros opened recently. I like how it's located right across the street from some prime shopping spots, Nordstrom Rack and The Container Store. I ordered the steak burrito with hot and corn salsa, black beans, white rice, shredded cheese, and oooo diced jalapenos. While the flavors were very reminiscent of Qdoba, which is not a bad thing, it's the service that really sets this place apart. From the first person taking my order to the last person ringing me up on the register, they were all very professional and polite. Also, I was warmly greeted by whom I presume to the owner/manager. I sat munching away and during my meal the same gentleman stopped by every table to check on us and I even noticed him taking away another table's trays. Oh, forgot to mention the burritos are served on a warmed metal tray which was a nice touch especially since it took me a while to eat. I will definitely be back.",
"Pros\nThe hand pressed tortillas are delicious\nThey serve coke products\nThe queso is muy bien\nThey use a tool called \"the bob\" to mix up the ingredients before they wrap the burrito. Genius!\n\nCons\nThe food is very bland\nThe meat is overcooked \nThe chips are way too salty\n\nAfter checking yelp and seeing 5 stars we were very excited to try this new place. It smelled wonderful, had great decor, and the staff was very friendly but the food was sub par. Qdoba is much better.",
"Maybe we caught them on a bad night. The food just was not very good.",
"Meh, pretty mediocre. I stopped here cause I wanted to try something new on my way to the mall. First I asked if anything was extra for my burrito, they were like \"Its all included other than the Queso and Guacamole\" Then they proceeded to charge me for the veggies, pretty lame. This is like a worse Qdoba, the only thing better about it than Qdoba was the fresh tortillas. I wont go back was just too mediocre to want to revisit. Chipotle is so much better.",
"Totally generic burrito place. Copies all the bad things about generic corporate burrito places (chipdoba) and ignores the actual good things they do (fresh ingredients). They also add some weird needless steps like mixing up your burrito with a spatula before wrapping it (?) and putting it on a weird metal plate... guac was brownish, pico had jalapenos in it. \n\nAnyway, I've already committed more to this place than anyone ever should. If you want a shitty burrito go to la bambas or taco bell and save some money at least.",
"Yay, Chipotle/Qdoba/Moe's with freshly pressed tortillas. Okay, so it's another chain in Indiana (shocker), imitating other gringo lunch shops. There really isn't anything special about this place. The only reason to choose this over any of the other mentioned gringo places is probably location. If you're closer to here than to Moe's, Chipotle or Qdoba and have a limited amount of time, go here. You won't be able to tell the difference.\n\nAs for the novelty of fresh pressed tortilla's, well, it wears off fast. And although I like the idea of mixing up everything in your burrito (by the way, has anyone else ever noticed that burrito translates to little donkey?) it's not going to make me drive past any of the others when I want a generic burrito.",
"The fresh-pressed tortillas were AMAZING. I like that they easily let you mix meats/beans. Mixing the burrito ingredients means you don't end up with one bite rice, the next bite all sour cream. Haven't tried the quac yet, but it looked fine on the line.\n\nat 5:30 on a Tuesday, we were the only ones there, which gave us plenty of time to figure out what we wanted and to ask questions. More people came in as we were getting ready to leave. So far so good!"

"This is one of the best Southern / Soul food restaurants in the South. We used to go here a lot when I was growin up out near Keysville / Lithia area.\n\nFried liver and gizzards? No problem. Greens? No problem. I can't remember if they have red velvet cake or not, but I'd imagine they do. This is not for tourists. (Not sure who the hell is visiting Plant City anyway) This is the real deal. If Mema don't feel like cookin after church, you're probably going here, and you're probably gonna know everybody.\n\nReasonably priced, pleasant wait staff, and right on the main drag.\n\nGotta love it!",
"Went back while visiting family. \n\nPerfect. Just perfect. You spend less than $10 a person for what equals about two meals in one plate. Free salad bar. Bucket-sized sweet tea. \n\nYou can't beat this place. Unstoppable.",
"Always a crowd pleaser. Good variety, reliable food. Many southern comfort foods and pricing is reasonable. Easy to stay under $8. With all meals is complementary salad bar that has outstanding creamed pea salad to German style cucumber salad. Have visitors in town, eat here for local flavor. They even serve a good palomino steak if u wanna break $10.",
"I would go back again for the Chicken Fried Chicken alone!\n\nSnellgrove's has a daily menu. Many of the menu items are available every day, such as my beloved CFC, but others rotate in, such as Monday's Chicken and Dumplings. Their vegetables/sides also change daily. I went Tuesday, so my two choices with the CFC were fresh rutabagas and fresh greens (other choices were breaded okra, baby limas and black eyed peas). You also get a trip to the salad bar, which is an interesting trip because there are more prepared salads, like coleslaw, potato salad and some others I did not even recognize, on this tiny bar than actual toppings for your lettuce. Finally, you get a hunk of cornbread. My dinner was $7.99. \n\nEverything was fresh and delicious. I added black pepper to my white gravy, and the spicy vinegar from the jar of sport peppers at my table to my greens, and that was all the seasonings I needed.\n\nVery casual interior, with a large number of tables and booths. Waitresses were friendly and quick with recommendations and water refills. Parking available on the street.",
"A friend of mine found this gem. She mentioned stopping here for lunch and I'm glad she did. Like all of the other reviews I read, the food is great for the price. It is your typical home cooked meal but enjoyable non-the-less. We went on a Sunday so the crowd there was a little older but that shouldn't deter you from a good lunch. I left full. The staff was friendly and made sure we left happy. I'm making sure to make this my go -to Sunday lunch/brunch.",
"This is my wife's and my favorite breakfast place in town. We typically eat there at least once a week (usually breakfast, but lunch and dinner is good too.). We have never had a bad meal here. The staff is almost always warm and friendly, despite usually being swamped with customers. And it's the best coffee in town.\n\nCan't beat the deal you get.",
"This was the only place open on a Sunday as we drove through Plant city. The staff was amazing and the food was excellent! Love the small town feel. I would def go there again!",
"Snellgrove's is a small town dinner that has very friendly staff and is family owned and managed. The meals are the perfect amount for the price.I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be full and that I was paying too much for just a chicken wrap but I was very wrong. The chicken wrap was one of the best I ever had and was definitely filling. There is a pick-up window around the back that I like for quick lunch breaks.",
"Snellgrove's serves classic American Southern food, the sort of place Cracker Barrel would like you to think exists only in memory. It's got a salad bar, and nearly half of it is prepared mayonnaise-based salads like macaroni salad and cole slaw. Don't be shy! Some of them are salads you might never have heard of before, like sweet-pea salad and kidney-bean salad, and they're delicious.\n\nVegetarians, keep in mind that the greens are cooked traditionally, with lots of meaty chunks. The fried okra was delicious and the macaroni and cheese was no slouch either. If you use a wheelchair, be aware that you will never fit through the narrow doorway and twisty route to the men's room.\n\nService was friendly and laid-back; when we wanted something, we'd have a smiling server at your table in a few seconds, and when we didn't want anything, the servers were cleaning up tables and enjoying each other's conversation about local affairs. In short, a nice place with very reasonable prices, and only a short drive from the interstate -- much better than a drive-through, if you've got the time.",
"Had a bad experience- our waitress was wearing her long hair down and when she was serving our drinks the ends of her hair were falling in our ice teas and food plates. The mash potatoes were fake tasting and my corn bread was cold and dry. There were flies all around the salad bar. We spent $20 for two people during lunch. Poor quality food and poor service.Never will go back."

"Shaved ice covered with evaporated milk, sliced fruit, condensed milk with a scoop of ice cream on top! Move over snoball, this is sooooo much better!\n\nSince I saw the sign for Honeydeux I could not wait for this place to open. I have had similar dessert treats out on the west coast, but there is nothing like this in the New Orleans area. \n\nOfferings: wraps, bubble tea and shaved ice\n\nI only had a shaved ice today, but it was soooo good. It was exactly what I've dreamed of. A regular size comes in a huge cup (6 inch diameter) and is filled with ice. I had mango and strawberries. The fruit chunks were big, juicy and perfectly ripe. On top of all of that fruit was a generous topping of condensed milk. Yum! I can't wait to try the bubble tea.\n\nThe decor is very trendy with clean lines. There is a bar area with stools, a couple of tables and a couple of comfy chairs. This is a fantastic place to sit and enjoy a shaved ice.",
"My wife had been calling this place about once a week, \"Are you open yet? Can't wait!\" We finally sated her craving for neighborhood bubble tea with a visit to Honeydeux the other night. They use Lollicup, the preferred Boba Tea distributor. It's great to see a young entrepreneur taking a risk in this economy to give us another selection of cold treats in our warm clime (shaved ice will be huge this summer!). Kudos to Chris for bringing another great business into the neighborhood.",
"Service terrible--They mixed up my order twice and were not efficient. Unprofessional staff made the experience unpleasurable. Do not go there!!!",
"Very impressed with service and food. We stopped in during the St. Pattys parades and our wraps were delicious and the young service team had all the chaos in order. Being pregnant, they were very accommodating and let me use the bathroom too! \n\nCan't wait to go back and try the tea and more wraps! Great job to the owner. Can you open one on Maple St too, so I can walk?",
"Oh hey Honeydeux, I like you.\n\nYou're the closest thing to Halo Halo that I've come across in this state, and I would have you whether it's hot or cold outside. I would probably be in heaven in there were some red bean, taro, and coconut options to slather you in and to mix in with some of my deadly bad habits, condensed milk and evaporated milk. I'm happy enough though with just having mangoes and strawberries. And I'm happy that there is a Taro and Lychee option for the bubble tea. I can't have everything.\n\nI'm just glad that I no longer have to slave over the manual ice shaver and prep my bowl at home with all the fixings before the ice melts.",
"My sherbet was great; it reminded me of summers with my grandmother. I loved that the sign was spelled incorrectly - sherbert.\n\nMinimal in design, quick and smiling service, I will head back on a 90 + degree day to try the infamous shaved ice.",
"I have tried their honeydew and green apple slushy and it tasted good for the first 10 minute and then it melted right away (bummed)! \n\nPros: nice staff, great location, and good variety of smoothies. Also, i enjoyed the new strawberry popping boba which is better than the tapioca balls. \n\nCons: The tapioca balls! I been drinking tapioca all my life and i never experience tapioca balls so hard!! I think that they are probably cooking it wrong and this is not something i want to be mean about but for future reference. I hope that they fixed this (: \n\nOther than that, I will come back for more (:",
"Mehh. Not anything I haven't had before. Honeydeux offers wraps, bubble tea, and shaved ice. I've only had the bubble tea and shaved ice so I can't comment on the wraps. The bubble tea is well....bubble tea. Nothing about it distinguishes it from other places, except that their tapioca balls are very hard. I mean if you're going to specialize in something, you should make it correctly right? Other than that the slushy itself is good. I've tried the green apple, and strawberry lychee. The shaved ice was very soft and fluffy, which I liked. Though they did kind of drench it with condensed milk, which my friend didn't like too much. I do love the ice cream though.\n\nAs for the space itself, I do like the design and layout. It's a nice place to just hang out, talk, and relax. In a nutshell, Honeydeux isn't something to go crazy over, but it is very refreshing on those hot summer days.",
"The bubble tea I got was wayyy too sweet. I actually threw it away after a few sips. I like sweet bubble tea, but this was undrinkable. Hard boba too.",
"Great wraps. Great bubble teas. Excellent service. Glad to see new businesses in this neighborhood."

"I really wanted this place to remain my little secret, but I also can't keep them in business single handedly! I've been here twice now, and intend to be a weekend regular. I can comment on the breakfast food specifically, which is amazing. They have hashbrowns, which are impossible to find around here, it seems, and the waffles taste SO good (as one would expect from an eatery with the word 'waffles' in the name.) Great prices, great food, great service - 5 stars! Parking and seating is a little limited, but it's definitely worth it!",
"Haven't tried their Dinner yet, but the breakfast was good but,,, Newly opened place is located in Feasterville Street Road just off of Bustleton Pike. Place is slightly hard to find smaller stand alone building between a Dunkin Donuts east and Pizza Hut West. Anyway back to the food, I would go four stars but Ill tell you, a little skimpy here for a 200 pound plus guy like me. I had a waffle and a cup of coffee with tip, cost 11-12 bucks plus and that's without meat. Unfortunately I have to say, I had a to grab a bagel afterwards was still hungry as the waffle while delicious, was small and they only give you one? (For 8-9 bucks plus for one small waffle?) Little disappointed, they need to slap another waffle on your plate or come down in price a little. Coffee was excellent had 2 cups . Nice folks in there including the help. I wish them the best, just need to put a little more food on the plate for my liking. In all fairness only went once so I'll be back to try their dinner and update review at that time. Hope its a little better experience.",
"Best fried chicken and waffles in the area. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a sweet hint for the finish. The waffle was fluffy and cooked just right. The service was top notch and friendly. We need something like this in the area, good old comfort food any time of the day. I will be back to sample the rest of the menu!",
"The staff is very helpful and friendly and the place had a nice atmosphere. Good American diner type fare - I had the traditional chicken and waffles and it was very tasty. The children's menu is a good value.",
"Arrived on a Sunday at 12:10pm. The four of us sat right down at the counter. Ordered by 12:20. My wife's breakfast wrap came out 30 minutes later. The other three of us got waffles which came out a full 10 minutes later. 40 minutes is entirely too long for breakfast, but gave me time to absorb the place - mismatched ceiling tiles, some stained, some sagging. A floor that badly need the bored looking host to sweep. Place has only been open a month, hate to see it after 6 months. \nOur waitress was apologetic for the wait, but the rest left a lot to be desired. One server complained about everything under the sun (a big no no for me). One server wiped sweat from her brow and then stuck her hand in soda dispenser to scoop ice out. \n\nFood was fine. Nothing exceptional. We have been craving a nice small place like this for years. Simple breakfast and lunch place with reasonable prices Unfortunately I don't think this will be the one for our family.",
"It is never a good sign when there is more staff on hand on a Friday night than customers.\nI really wanted to like this place more but they are just not doing anything special that the other established diners or chains in the area are doing better. Their \"signature dish\" is the chicken & waffles. They have two varieties listed on the menu \"Southern\" or \"Traditional\". The Southern is supposed to be bone in chicken with gravy on the side, the Traditional is a waffle with white meat chicken tenders on the side. We tried to order the Southern version. I say tried because our waitress came back to the table to inform us that they were out of the Southern version. So either they were out of actual chicken or the gravy. I opted to double down and try the Traditional version. My husband switched the chipped beef waffle that had gravy so my guess is they were out of actual chicken. The waffle for mine came out with powdered sugar already on it which is not what I would have preferred but ok. The tenders were not made fresh in house and were what you would expect. None of the food was bad, but again it is not a good sign to be out of a basic ingredient for your signature dish at 7:30pm on a Friday night. Also there are two grocery stores right next to it. Acme is across the street and Giant is on the plaza behind it. You can literally walk to either one. So to me there is really no excuse to being out of basic ingredients. It is a shame because they have clearly put a lot of money into renovating the space, but there are little details that are going to keep them from thriving - number one example is their signage outside. It is to small with dark colors making it hard to see/read when driving up the street and it is dwarfed by the signs for the adjacent businesses. Also they are paying vendors for things they should make in house to get a higher profit margin on. The best example is the ice tea. They are using fountain tea from the soda vendor (Brisk is what it taste like). Brewing tea is low cost and is usually priced at the same as soda so the profit margin is higher. These things coupled with the lack of planning with ingredients may kill their business. I wish them the best but I won't be back.",
"After eating here on several iccasions, 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches a d3 dinners, we have decided a few things. 1). Service is very inconsistent and inexperienced, 2) food is also inconsistent. When we first went for dinner, the mashed potatoes tasted home made and very good, tonight they came out tasting like they came out of a box, the soup which was supposed to be cream of turkey, could have been mistaken for white dishwater with some bits of leftover turkey thrown in. Food was barely warm, and the waitress ran around like a chicken without a head, bringing out our dinners in bits n pieces. Just not a good experience. I really want this place to succeed, we need a good local spot. Help us help you!!!",
"had breakfast Sunday morning eggs scrapple coffee toast wife had egg and scrabble sandwich all good will come here again for sure new and clean good fast service going to try dinner soon check it out you will like it",
"Love this place! Very clean staff is very friendly and inviting. You can tell that they really care about the costumers experience. Food was great my favorite is the eggs Benedict and the home fries! Went in for dinner and had the cowboy chicken that was also very tasty. Great prices! I will be returning. Keep up the good work",
"Walked in with three employees standing around and not one acknowledged us. The conversation about the schedule was more important. Walked out. \n\nShame"

"Very average at best. We didn't try the wings which I think is their speciality but what we did try was nothing to write home about.\n\nWe started with an order of Ultimate Fries which were described as being \"Jumbo basket of fries smothered with 3 kinds of cheese, cajun seasoning and topped with crispy bacon, served with sour cream\". The fries were crinkle cut and were barely fried - they could have stood a few more minutes to make them crispy and not soggy. The three kinds of cheese turned out to be massive amounts of canned cheese sauce (which I didn't know was a kind of cheese) and a little of a mixed cheese blend sprinkled on top. The cajun seasoning was missing - no site of it and no taste of it.\n\nThen we ordered a burger which they claimed to be the best burger in Brentwood. Well, there aren't many burger joints in Brentwood so that's not a huge claim. But I am not sure of any place in Brentwood that DOESN'T make a better burger than this one except a couple of the fast food drive throughs and at least one of those makes a better burger.\n\nIt was edible. It was food. It wasn't very busy for a Friday night at 7pm. But that is about all I can give it.",
"I wanted to like it. I really did. Since our office is really really close, it would have been nice to have a good little American food joint nearby. You'd think in Brentwood, in Maryland Farms where thousands of people work every day, there would be a decent meal to be had. Jefferson's isn't much worse than the other options in the area (the rest get 2 stars), but in one of the wealthiest zip codes in the state, you'd think there would be some decent food. Not so much.\n\nJefferson's consistently has a good lunch crowd (for why I don't know). But the food is clearly straight out of the GFS/Sysco freezer back, reconstituted in the fryer or on the grill and delivered slowly to the table. (it takes longer to cook from frozen). No flavor, no seasoning, no love. Save a buck and eat your burger a Back Yard Burgers.",
"Jefferson's Wings are really good! Brent-Hood proper needs more restaurants like this one! Good food and good place to hang out and watch a game with friends.\n\nThe Chicken Fingers serves as a good choice if you like your \"wings\" boneless. I suggest have them doubled fried where they they dip the tenders in their hottest sauce and then re-fry them. It takes the crazy heat out but leaves a heat that is tasty and just hot enough. However, the wings are the way to go for sure. The regular wings are meaty, crispy on the outside, juice on the inside and sauced just right. \n\nThe burgers and salads are typical and boring. I wish they would hand pat fresh ground beef at a spot like this! They brag about their Oysters but it's not been something this reviewer has tried on my numerous visits to this spot. The O Rings are good, Fries as decent, and sometimes the Celery can be a little brown on the tips. When this happens...just ask for fresh celery and they will oblige. \n\nThey have great daily specials and our visits usually fall on the specials for wings or tenders. \n\nThey have lots of beers on tap, tv's on the wall, and hundreds of decorated $1 bills on the walls which equals a good spot to watch a game.",
"Love the double dipped wings. Beers are always cold and the staff is friendly. I always stop here when I'm in town for business.",
"I have to agree w/ Melissa L. It was edible, but nothing to write home about. My friend and I ordered baked oysters and steamed shrimp. We questioned the waiter about the oysters ahead of time and were told that they get them from Texas, that they were really large and the best that they had had in a long time. When they arrived I couldn't believe it! They were small shriveled up little creatures that tasted terrible! NOTHING like the picture on the menu. I could have done better buying oysters out of a can and broiling them. The shrimp wasn't much better. Very soggy, no taste. The french fries and onion rings were somewhat better, (anything could have been better) ...thank goodness for the beer... \n\nOur waiter had said he was going to take GREAT care of us, but we had to call him over to finally get him to take our order. He never helped us again. (It was not busy) Another waiter brought us our food and continued to take care of us after that. In all fairness, this waiter was very attentive.\n\nWe are not ones to complain (guess I should have now that I look back, and guess I am w/ this review), but we won't be back!",
"I eat here a lot because it's convenient. They've changed owners a time or two and the latest set seems to know what they're doing. I've tried a lot of things off their menu and about the only thing I'll order now are the wings, which are much improved from several months ago. They are now bigger and tend to be well cooked, whereas before they were generally overcooked and runty looking. Beer is good and reasonably priced. They have Fat Tire for 2.75/pint. They have a lot of turnover on the wait staff and on a couple of occasions I've walked in to see them surrounded by their friends at the bar. Minus a star for having to hang around them while waiting for my order. \n\nNothing is really disgusting, but nothing is worth ordering twice. Onion rings are forgettable, oysters suck (previous poster Billie got it right...I had almost the exact same story, except substitute Louisiana for Texas), burgers are very average, they don't serve crab legs anymore, Po Boys are a joke, salads aren't anything special, and their appetizers aren't appetizing. Chili is OK, but they keep changing the amount they give you for 3.95. It used to be quite generous, but now they put your chili in a square shaped container. I don't understand: it's a sort of soup, and they're serving it like it's a bag of french fries. They also charge .50 cents for everything. Want onions on your chili? 50 cents. Cheese? Another 50 cents. Jalapenos? ANOTHER 50 CENTS. I stopped ordering the chili. \n\nMy suggestion? Wait until Wednesday or Saturday and get their .50 cent wings. Or drink their beer and walk over to Med Cuisine or over to Cross Corner Grill if you want decent bar fare.",
"Nothing fancy. Not bad, but not good either. Oh wait, the oysters were bad. Very bad. Burger and chicken sandwich were OK. Wings were fine. We asked the waitress for silverware once our food got delivered and she looked at us like we were from Mars. \"You mean, like, a fork?\" Seriously. Skip it.",
"Food is below average bar food. Service was ok but the place was dirty and they were just standing around. Over priced on the food but the beer specials were good. Its more a wing and beer sports type place than a restaurant.",
"I'm a big fan of this place. It's a fun sports grill with a TV in view from each seat. Their wings a great, their burgers are delish, and who doesn't love crinkle fries? I've been several times (including lunch today) and the service is always good. The prices are very impressive, especially for Brentwood. My burger and fries were under $8.",
"Bummer. Something is going on with my joint. I really, really, liked this place...what is up? The last three visits don't measure up to what was the best wing joint in town. The kitchen is all screwed up...totally.\n\nI always get the wings or chicken fingers...with their wing sauce. Tonight, the fam got the usual and I went for the special of the day...burger and fries. Houston, I mean Jefferson, we have a problem. The burger meat had no flavor and wasn't even hot (it came out quick which suggests it was precooked). The bacon on the burger was puny and lacked flavor. Despite requesting no BBQ sauce, it came out with some loose red liquid on it and an apology from the server who thought it was bacon (supporting my claim the bacon was puny). I ordered cheddar...it had American cheese instead. Bummer. \n\nIt may seem petty, but the condiments on the table (mayo, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper) were greasy, crusty, and really funky. It seems as if the cheap off the store shelf plastic bottles are being refilled. Mayo, which apparently doesn't need refrigerated, was empty so we grabbed one from another table...the lid was covered in mayo that had gelled and was funky on a whole 'notha level. The ketchup wasn't even red which caused me to wonder if it's really Heinz despite the label. Enough discussion about the condiments...it would only get worse.\n\nGosh, you can see with over 200 reviews, I am not a whiner. But, the fries...some were cooked and some were barely cooked, some were hot and some were cold, some were crisp and some were nasty, nasty, nasty. \n\nTonight was certainly the worse experience, but I can't say the last two were on par with the many visitis prior...what is going on with this place?\n\nThe server was nice...I wish he had worked the kitchen and maybe it would have been a good meal."

"When I lived in New York City, I remember the great salad invasion of 2009 (or so). All these little salad placed popped up all over the city and every midtown corporate monkey was running out at noon to Just Salad to get their healthy lunch in a little plastic bowl that could easily be munched out of while continuing to make spreadsheets and speak in annoying business jargon. \n\nLucky for New Orleans (or Metairie, if we want to get technical regarding this location), we now have the salad part, but without all the other horrificness described above.\n\nCity Greens is a place where you can build your own salad with whatever fixins you want, pick one of their regular menu salads, or even (gasp!) have a sandwich or a wrap -- with salad inside it, of course. There's really not much to it. You pick your stuff, they mix it up for you, and you're on your way. It's fast, it's easy, it's (relatively) inexpensive, and it might even be healthy, if you don't add the bacon and extra cheese and heavy ranch dressing.\n\nMy ladyfriend loves it, so there ya go...\n\nEnjoy, everyone!",
"Long awaited location did not disappoint! Great selection including vegetarian soup options. So happy to have this healthy choice in the neighborhood!",
"I love all three locations, but I go to this one nearly every day. Never has a place offered truly healthy food that tasted so good -- and at such a fair price. Really... the absolute best.",
"I really love the concept of this type of fast food restaurant. It's healthy and quick alternative to traditional unhealthy fast food joints. The reason I give it three stars instead of four or five is because the dressings that I have had on both visits were not good at all. Thank god I get my dressings on the side as habit because it would have ruined the entire salad. \n\nThis will not stop me from returning but I will stick to an oil and vinegar or keep a dressing of my choice in the fridge at work. The salads are huge and are made of quality ingredients so they are worth the price tag in my opinion. My boyfriend loves the avocado ranch with all his heart so dressings are definitely a personal preference.",
"I love the large portion sizes at City Greens and that there is something finally healthy to turn to in Metairie. However, my first time eating out from this location there was onion peel in my turkey/avocado wrap. It was just an immediate flavor turn off that will have me waiting awhile before I try this location again.",
"So happy to now have a City Greens not too far from Lakeview. Everything I've ever had here has been delicious. Love the wraps, love the soups. I honestly will probably be visiting a few times a week.",
"Very disorganized! I went in to grab something to go and everyone who works there seems confused/unhappy and does not want to make eye contact with anyone trying to place an order. I walked in, without a greeting and 3 other people were waited while I was standing there. I asked an employee to confirm where to order since he had been staring at me. I was about to speak up , when someone else who was skipped spoke up. I enjoyed my wrap and juice, but the customer service is lacking. Not sure if I will be back.",
"I'm not a big salad person, but I was very impressed with this business. The farm to table concept is great!!\n\nI went here for a late lunch with my buddy who swears up and down by this place. He's just as much as a foodie as I, so I was definitely down. We ordered the Truffle Ceasar salads with chicken added and it was one of the best salads I've ever eaten. The veggies were super fresh as well as the chicken. Plus, the chicken comes fresh from a local farm that raises them ethically. I also tried the tomato bisque, which was also quite delicious. \n\nWord of advice though, don't try to eat your salad the next day. Most, if not all, of the ingredients here are made without any preservatives so, it will not keep for much more than a matter of hours.",
"City Greens is a place where you can order from their regular menu of interesting combinations or build your own with whatever ingredients you prefer. Similar to the way Blaze Pizza and Subway display multiple selections neatly laid out in small metal containers, you have an easy visual experience to choose from dozens of options to top off your salad. Their salads are huge and delicious that can also be served as a wrap sandwich if your prefer. \n\nAs an old slogan says .. have it your way!!! \n\nIn that same concept, they serve vegetarian soups giving meat eaters the options to add taste treats like bacon and cheddar cheese.\n\nI love the farm to table concept offering both convenience and healthy choices rarely found in a fast food restaurant !! We have so few options when eating out to be assured that we are eating food made with quality ingredients without any preservatives. \n\nThey also have a large catering arm to their business. I have ordered an an assortment of wraps for a couple of my birthday parties because they are so easy to serve. But more importantly, guests joyfully gobbled them.\n\nCity Greens makes it fun and easy to eat healthy!!",
"Wow. I'm honestly impressed with the quality of City Green's ingredients. Everything truly tasted fresh and it's hard to find that anymore. 10/10 recommend."

"How did no one write a review about this? Tuesday night was my first time here- it was awesome. Inside was nice for the area, the bartender was a cool older guy, pretty generous with the pour. great out door patio area with a large bar and TVs. I had 2 double vodkas with soda, and a shot and a local bought me a shot on her way out the door that turned into 2. I was feeling awesome when I left and my bill was like 13.50 or something awesomely ridiculous like that. It made me appreciate being home from NYC. I would def want to come back!",
"The food here is amazing. I know, you think i am already trashed or out of my mind, but, 1. I don't drink. and 2. the food really is amazing. The Delmonico Steak is a generous portion, and always cooked perfectly, and very inexpensive. They make their own scalloped potatoes, Their not out of a box! Fresh potatoes in a velvety smooth cream sauce. It is so good. My wife always gets The Horse salad. and by always I mean 6 times in the last 3 months! They make food for our kids as well, cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, grilled cheese. I love it there. Go in with an open mind and an empty stomach. you wont regret it!",
"There is someone cooking at The Horse, accurately described elsewhere on Yelp as a dive bar, who knows what they're doing. Go there and try the dinner special, odds are you won't be disappointed. Service will be hit or miss, for me it was A plus last time and a joke the time before. Great local beer (Free Will Citra Ale) on tap. Salads made with tasty baby greens, great cheesesteaks, unbelievable grouper special one night. If you're looking for a less expensive alternative similar to the Washington House down the road, give The Horse a try. You might be surprised.",
"This place seems like a quaint little neighborhood haunt. It's been a bar since the 1700s and doesn't look like it's been renovated since.\n\nIt was weird, but they had really good cheese fries.",
"My husband and I live locally and go here on the average of once a week. As previous reviewers said, appearances are deceiving. The food is awesome, service is great and prices are fair. We love the dinner specials, especially the boneless chicken ones. The vegetables are to die for, especially the zucchini. We really don't have much desire to go to any of our local eateries anymore other than here. Try it, you won't be disappointed",
"One star for the servers!!! Four stars for the food, the beer, and the patio. If this place had servers that were just half capable the experience would be great. Had dinner with friends last Friday on the patio and got the wrong appetizer, got spilled on (without an apology) and had to hunt down our own beer at the bar (server never came around). The table next to us got spilled on also. We like coming here in the summer, great atmosphere. But please!!!! Fix the servers!!!",
"Don't let old reviews and one time visitors fool you, this place has great food and awesome selection of beer! My wife and I have a few places in the surrounding area that we will stop in for dinner, drinks or just. HH snack/nip. Why choose The Horse Tavern? Because, it's just plain good. Talk beer, mingle with others, have a great meal all things that fit here. You want fried, cheap food- go elsewhere, if you enjoy good quality food and beer then stop in and give it a try.",
"I will agree that the service can be hit or miss - especially if they are swamped - but what restaurant/bar doesn't have that on occasion? If you are out on the patio on a Saturday night - expect to wait. I don't find giving a bad rating to an establishment simply because you had poor service. That is merely one component and while it is an important one - it doesn't mean you need to give the place a 1 star overall. \n\nThe number of beers they have on tap is just insane. A wonderful variety of just about anything you can think of and some, you wouldn't even consider (peanut butter porter?!) but should! They are cold and most of the time, you get a fresh pint glass. Bartenders are very knowledgeable about the beers on tap and will you let you sample if you are undecided. Note: There is a separate beer list for the indoor bar compared to the outdoor bar. If you want something from one of the other bars, you will need to go get it yourself! :)\n\nWe've gone as a couple and we've met friends for dinner so we've sampled a large variety of the food. Sandwiches, cheesesteaks, wings. homemade soup, salads. Really good stuff. We've also had the entree specials (a risotto and chicken dish respectively) and these were equally good, sizable portions with great flavor.\n\nThis is just a great place and I don't think you will be disappointed.",
"Got food poisoning when I went there. The bar tender was nice but I am extremely disappointed with the quality of food an cleanliness. Will not be going there again.",
"While they have a great beer selection, the wine choices suffer. Not only the wine choices, but also the glasses they use to serve it in. I think it is also a small pour.\nWe ordered burgers medium. Both were past medium. It's a neighborhood spot."

"I like this Hudson's, but it is much more \"clubby\" than the other Hudson's.\n\nIt does hold the best Hudson's patio in Edmonton, it is great for people watching, and it is also covered so it can shield you against rain (I for one love to sit on patios in the rain -- as long as I am covered).\n\nFood and drinks here are great, just like other Hudson's, but after 7pm on a Friday, this place turns from a great place to relax, eat and down a beer, to a place to dance and get drunk.\n\nGo for a cold beer here in the afternoon, or for a shot and a dance party at night!",
"My experience with this Hudsons location comes from two very different places, so I plan to write about my first experience and then update later this weekend about my second and third.\n\nMy first experience comes from my first frazzled lunch after a day of trying to figure out my way around the U of A campus for the first time. I have to say that regardless if I am going here for lunch (this time) or drinks (following times) I have always lucked out finding parking. \n\nDuring this trip we arrived on a Wednesday around noon. There were a few tables in there, but otherwise it was fairly empty, so we basically had the servers undivided attention. Not to say that she was smothering us, but it was a good flow. \n\nYou have your typical pub type music playing, most tables are the ones with the high back chairs (very few booths) and the decor was laid back. The menu has a good spin on typical pub type food. I ordered a rum and coke (needed a stiff drink after getting lost all morning and hey it was noon!) and decided on the mini chicken burgers. It wasn't the best choice for me per say because I hate tomatoes, so once you take those off you are left with; bun, chicken, wilted lettuce (because it is assembled when the chicken is hot) and mayo. The other mini burgers looked better and I will probably opt for those next time around.\n\nI like Hudsons if you are trying to find some place where you can just hang out, order some good food if you want, and drink in a casual atmosphere. You always know that it will be somewhat popular because of the location and is a great starting off point if you plan to go somewhere else later in the night. More to come in further reviews!",
"This was my second time here. The first time was a few years ago while traveling for work in Edmonton. They first time wasn't very memorable I guess but I did remember this place because of the great location and cold beer.\n\nWhen we first came in there was nobody to seat us or point us in the right direction so after asking the bartender we seated ourselves. After taking a seat at our table of choice we waited about 15 minutes before getting any service. The server finally came after I complained to the bartender. It was easy to forgive our waitress because she was smoking hot. Once we got service it was fine thereafter. Very friendly and attentive.\n\nAs for the food, the wings were the special of the day and they had multiple flavoring options. When asked if I get a couple different flavors in one order I was told I could not. I understand it is a pain for them but I still think them not doing it is kind of petty. Anyways, no big deal. As far as the wings go they were pretty dang small but very tasty.\n\nI would come back in the future if I was in the area and didn't know where to eat at. Overall though not the best experience I've ever had at a Pub like eatery.",
"I think this update is good timing considering that Hudson's on Whyte Ave since they are having their grand reopening tonight. I can't wait to see what they have done with the place because I really liked it before they closed for renovations. My second time here was during the first Oilers game of the year. This is certainly the place to feel energy on game night. My friend and I split the nachos which were HUGE. Even though the place was packed we still received really good service. Hudson's is pretty solid so I'm curious to see what they have done to make it even better.",
"Like the other Hudson's just not very good.\n\nService is OK, food is OK and well the beer is local.\n\nOn Whyte there are so many places to try, why settle for something so mediocre.",
"WING WEDNESDAY...this is the place...fantastic wings the size of your fist. Service is awesome, the wait staff friendly and not too bad on the eyes ;) , I usually head out here on Friday nights too, fun atmosphere and usualyy not to much trouble. Major issue? the music kinda blows at time, I dont wanna hear Bryan Adams in the bar? what is this 19something?",
"Oh, Hudson's.\n\nI WANT to give you a better review. I WANT to like you as a destination. But there's just so much you do that others do much, much better.\n\nFirst off, the food is... okay. Acceptable. It hits the spot in a pinch... but I wouldn't exactly call it comfort food. The menu is pretty eclectic too - a strange mix of pub-grub and restaurant fare. It's not often you come across a place that has a chicken-wing special and a steak dinner on the same menu. I'm not sure if that's a point for, or against.\n\nThe service is... also acceptable. Every time I've been the waitresses have been friendly and helpful, but also distracted. A little too busy, maybe? Regardless, they weren't around often enough to check on drinks, or to take orders and we're left waiting for some longish periods. Moreover, the food takes quite a while to come out. This is not a place you want to go for a quick meal on a busy night. That said, last time I did lunch at Hudson's, the service and food were snappier - so maybe it's an evening thing.\n\nThe worst though - Hudson's doesn't accept debit. That's actually a huge deterrent for me. I don't usually carry cash, and I don't want to use your crappy ATM that costs me an extra $2.50. \n\nIf you don't want to accept my debit card, then you don't want my money or my patronage.\n\nI say good-day Hudson's on Whyte.",
"Reasonably nice place. Service was friendly and attentive. It reminded me very much of the Hudson's downtown. The washrooms are down a flight of stairs, so unfortunately the place is not accessible for all. I only stopped in for something quick (and non-alcoholic) to drink, so there is not much more I can really say.",
"This place gets four stars purely based on their location - Whyte Ave has always been an entertaining place to engage in people watching.\n\nOther than that, it's a bar. Pretty standard pub fare food, with a decent selection of locally brewed beers.\n\nThe parking situation (street only) usually doesn't cause me any grief, since I rarely go to Whyte Ave on weekends. Seriously, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a parking spot down there.",
"should own stock in the place with how much money I have spent here!!\n\nbeen here since it was first renovated many years ago-it has since been re-hauled well over a year ago-to much fan fare and improvemnent.-this is the best bar so far on whyte for good food, and bar service is always pretty good. \n\nI like the salt and pepper wings the best, they have other daily specials which are all good. The patio in the summer is only good late at night-when it is not too busy, and there aren't hundreds of cars pulling up to the light to stare at you. I'm not into gasoline paparazzi.\n\nOnce in a while you get a waitress who will ask for your credit card so you can place your food or drink order-hey waitress get a different job-you cant possibly have been a dine and dash victim that many times!!!\n\nI always refuse to give my CC and just (pay up front) and then don't tip out more than 1 dollar-. Like I said they should know me by now-my bill always get paid here with a generous tips.\n\nI really like the nachos, and the steak dinner is a nice cut for what they charge. They have soup specials which are tasty, and I like there salads.\n\nI also like the crowd that comes here, only occasionally do you get a loud screaming group of girl's I guess they cant believe the bar actually let them in :) \n\nMy favourite thing is to watch an old couple who comes out to this place on 'date night' or something and don't realize how loud its gets-and the woman-usually looks annoyed. Fun times is why I always return. Hey bartender I'll have another!!"

"Not great food, but good. Some of the staff needs a little more training in manners and helpfulness, but others were great. I think they have to work the kinks out of their system since it is a new location and weed out the week staff.",
"Stopped by today to check it put and decided to stay and order. Food, customer service and cleanliness of place was great. Food was served in reasonable time considering all the customers dining in at that moment. Better than Pollo Tropical in St. Pete. Def going back again",
"The food at pollo tropical is decent, nothing out of this world. I recommend the grilled chicken breast, and the regular chicken dinner with sides. The Caesar salad was not as good, just ok. And the riblets were ok as well, not my favorite. I probably won't be ordering those again. As far as the side dishes, the rice, beans, and corn had good taste. The restaurant is new in the area and this might be the reason their service is slow.",
"Not worthy of the franchise. No one knows what breast of chicken is since I was given a thigh. Funny they sure know how to charge me for it. Awful.",
"Food was decent but the service was below par. Cashier didn't know any of the price or anything about how the combo system worker, best part was that the manager was next to her just chilln and didn't offer any assistance.",
"I love pollo tropical's food. I've been going to other locations for years. This location, however, is incredibly slow. Do not go during lunch time unless you plan on waiting 20 minutes for your food. Staff is friendly but don't seem to know what's going on. Need better management and faster service.",
"I personally think the food here its pretty descent. Of course not the same as back home when it comes to real Pollo a la Brasa, but close.\nThe sides are always a must! Specially: yellow rice and beans, yuca (steamed) and yuca bites. \nThe chicken has a good flavor to it and yes the skin! Hahaha just hit the gym after.\nOverall good place to get some good flavorful chicken if you are tired of the publix or costco one.",
"Terrible service!!! 20 minute and no food yet. Everyone around us is getting food but us. Servers on cell phone. Especially Dennis.",
"My family and I love Pollo Tropical. This particular location is not up to par at all. The service was ok. When the employee brought our food to the table she brought boiled yuca when I had ordered fried. When I told her it was not what I ordered she tried to tell me I had ordered boiled. I did get it replaced with what I ordered. Unfortunately the chicken was very undercooked and I was afraid to eat it.",
"For the price-can't beat it.\nFood taste is good. \nService is normally pretty descent and fast.\nMost of the time it's clean."

"I'm really glad this bakery popped up in the area. Happy Mixer had a large assortment of GF goodies and I'm itching to go back and snack on some more! \n\nI'll start with what I know: the donuts were 1.95 a piece and seemingly small. I bought one for my boyfriend and one for my mother and ate about a quarter of each of theirs. Surprisingly enough they were not only delicious, but thick and filling! My boyfriend is a huge fan of the cream filled and couldn't get enough. I chose the chocolate iced on behalf of my mom and we both enjoyed the moist, soft, and yummy treat. \n\nMy boyfriend also hand delivered a HM brownie to me while I was home sick (which if I remember correctly is around 3 dollars?) and man did it hit the spot. Half of a brownie was more than enough. It was rich and filling and all kinds of wonderful things. \n\nThe also offer cakes and cookies and other sweetie treaties (sorry, sweets make me coo like a baby). At first I thought the prices were pretty high, but my GF friends say that most GF goods are. So that's that. Chalfont, I think I am in love.",
"I don't need to eat Gluten free. But I'm always up for sweets. So yesterday, I popped in (because it's right next to the Wine and Spirit's Store, HELLO!!) \nIt's a very small bakery. But good things come in small packages (seriously, don't believe the hype about the bigger the better!). I tried the peanut butter delight. OMG. It tastes just like a Tastykake Candycake. It was sooo good, I told the cashier in the wine store about it (he knew and agreed). \nI also tried the crème filled cake donut. OMG. It tasted just like a powered donut with rich cream filling. So good! The kiffles (strawberry, raspberry, apricot) were just ok for me. I do like the kiffles at Wegman's a bit better. \nNow, remember, I am not 'gluten' free - but for me, the doughnut and peanut butter delights were superior and/or just as good as ANY I've had. \nI'm excited to go back and try everything else! \nThey had samples out (which is what made me buy the peanut butter delight). I don't know if they do regularly, but it never hurts to pop in a see. \nI work in a commercial bakery and Happy Mixer's are at times, less expensive than the store I work for. Some things are more (cookies are 16.95 a pound, at my place they are 10.99 - but Kiffles are 15.99 per pound). \nFor homemade and being a \"specialty\" (ie: Gluten Free) - I think these prices are actually cheap (but please don't raise them!) If this shop was in say...Chestnut Hill, you can bet the 2.95 dollar muffins would be 5.00. \nDon't let the \"Gluten Free\" stop you from considering a visit to this \"sweet\" bakery! \nLove it!!!",
"Golly! Their baked goods are amazing! I have been gluten free for a year and it was a special treat to find a gluten free bakery that was close to our wedding venue. I was wary to chose a gluten free bakery for the wedding so I brought my fiancé and MOH with me to see how their gluteny taste buds felt about it. We all loved the cupcakes they gave us to try as well as all of the other goodies we bought. I went back yesterday and got some sandwich bread, a cupcake and some cookies to take home. I am in heaven! For dinner I had a turkey sandwich on untoasted bread (something that is almost impossible on 2nd day GF bread) and a cupcake for dessert. That cupcake was even better than I remembered. It even had sprinkles and a shamrock ring in it, to make me feel like a kid. The buttercream isn't overly sweet and has a nice vanilla flavor, and the cake is tender but sturdy and not too fluffy. I do a lot of baking at home and I haven't been able to make anything this good at home since going gluten free. Thank you Lisa and Tim!",
"For those who must eat GF, this place is a dreamland. I brought home some of the brownies and donuts and my family quickly devoured them. The assortment of baked goods seemed pretty extensive and I will definitely be coming back soon.",
"I came again today and picked up a cream cheese brownie, a vanilla iced donut and a creme filled donut. I was going to take a picture of them but I couldn't resist - I ate everything during the car ride home while trying to use my other hand to maneuver the wheel and stick shift at the same time... too good! Also nothing from here has ever gotten me sick, which isn't always the case with things advertised as gluten-free.",
"I swear the clouds parted and little angels started singing the moment I walked into The Happy Mixer GF bakery.\n\nEven if you live an hour from Chalfont, get in your car, and drive here. If you have Celiac disease, or a gluten allergy, you will be glad you did. Trust me.\n\nI had a cinnamon donut, a beautiful cupcake, and a mini lemon pound cake. I actually bounced up and down in my chair as I chewed... that's how good it was.\n\nThere dozens of items to chose from, and a large variety (cookies, cake, pastries, french baguettes, etc)",
"My husband and I were up visiting family, and found the bakery through Yelp. We had a wonderful experience, with explanations of the different pastries given to us by the lovely owner. All of the food was delicious! Hard to pick a favorite. It will be a must stop for us in the future!",
"My boys are both gf/cf. I went in looking for treats for Halloween. I took home cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies. All were a hit! As my 11 year old said, \"the chocolate chip cookies were great but the icing on the cupcakes was my favorite!\" He kept trying to take another one!\nWould have given it all 5 stars but it was a little hard on the wallet. But I will go again.",
"AMAZING! Everything here is phenomenal and there is no sacrifice in taste, texture or flavor. Some favorites include the kiffles, the red velvet cupcake, espresso toffee cupcake, the pumpkin muffin with cream cheese icing and jelly donuts. You can't go wrong with anything you get here. Whether you are gluten free or not, you'll be hooked!",
"Absolutely excellent! Just had a cake done for my fiancee for her 40th and it was well worth the money spent. It seemed that there was nothing spared in making sure the cake was very well done. It was a double layer chocolate and vanilla with cream cheese in the middle and a cream cheese icing and it was absolutely phenomenal. No one could tell it was a gluten free cake. We'll be back for upcoming birthdays!"

"Chile rellenos in the Tucson Area rated according to the Homeland Security Advisory System with three word descriptors.\n\nMaico: eat with flies. Orange\n\nSee photos.",
"Nothing completes a fulfilling dining experience more than a great view of the traffic on 22nd Street...\n\nYep, I am naturally projecting a bit facetiousness upon you about the \"ambiance\" of Maico. All kidding aside for just a second, the dining experience at Maico is decidedly unsophisticated. Indeed, I was quite drawn to the rustic feel of the place: there is no indoor dining per se. One reviewer characterized this situation thusly: \"Maico: eat with flies.\" They do, however, have plenty of tables and chairs in a patio area. And when I say patio, I mean the patio of a former home. So on top of having to eat al fresco, you literally have to order at what used to be a window. \n\nSeriously, take a second from being enraptured by this review to look at the nearest window on your home, apartment, or other dwelling and imagine it without any sort of glass. Then look around your living space and kitchen and imagine it converted to one big cooking area devoted to making Mexican food. Finally, picture that food being produced being pretty damn good. Now snap back to reality and continue with my review. \n\nLike you, I'm sure, when I first heard of Maico, I was like \"WTF, what the hell is Maico?\" I had passed by the place several times with interest barely registering. Then I heard that the dude from Travel Channel's Bizarre Food paid a visit to the place a while back. He apparently sampled the birria, or goat stew. A few weeks ago, I happened to drive by the place on my way to a friend's. I was hungry and decided to make a spontaneous stop. \n\nIn all honesty, I've only been here once and ordered just three tacos. Like any good, self-respecting taqueria, the carne asada was seasoned well, cooked properly, had fresh condiments including salsa with a nice bite, and tasty flour tortillas. I also had one aforementioned birria taco. That, too, was made properly. You could tell that it took hours to cook, as the goat was very tender and effused with spices and chili. The three tacos were washed down with the required Mexican soda. I caught glimpses of dishes from other patrons, and it all appeared tasty, so I will make plans in the future to try some non-taco items. \n\nThe food there undoubtedly was good. Judging from my wise-cracking comments earlier about the ambiance of Maico, I truly don't have a problem with eating outdoors. In fact, I would say that the majority of places in town that serve the best tacos don't have indoor seating. In fact, tacos in Mexico are quintessentially a street food made and eaten on the street with the flies and whatnot. \n\nThough I don't think many streets in Mexico matches the beauty, character or liveliness of our little 22nd Street.",
"I like this place. The guy who runs it is really friendly (though I'm ashamed to admit that I've forgotten his name) and the food is reasonably priced and generally good. I've enjoyed their lengua tacos and carnitas tortas; their cabeza tacos were a little less exciting, but still pretty good. After seeing the place on Bizarre Foods I realized I had been missing out on their goat birria stew, so I've been keeping my eye out for it, but so far I've only seen the beef birria on offer (I ordered it once and thought it was good but not exceptional). All in all, there's not really anything to complain about, though I have yet to find something here that's really special. It's such a charming little place that I really want to find something about it to advocate loudly, but so far it hasn't happened. If that changes, I'll post an update.",
"Maico is good. It may be the best stationary taco stand in Tucson. They serve excellent cabeza and adobada. Their carne asada isn't remarkable, but it's solidly good. The carnitas were lackluster and not worthy of a second try, but they weren't bad, either. Maico doesn't give you a lot of salsa options, but their menu is expansive, their prices affordable, and their service exceptionally friendly. The outdoor seating is absolutely perfect--this either makes intuitive sense or you'll never get it. If you like the idea of sitting at a picnic table late at night, killing a few delicious tacos on warm corn tortillas, and watching the traffic go by, you'll like Maico.",
"This is a better alternative to Filibertos or Nico's. Not much more than that, but it has its own necessary place in the culinary spectrum. The menu is essentially identical to either of the restaurants named above, and the prices comparable too, but you do get the feeling a bit more care is put into the food here.\n\nThe people working here are very nice. The burrito I had was delicious. What more do I have to say, really? You should try this place if you like this sort of thing. The salsa was a good solid salsa and matched their food well. I would have preferred a little more salsa variety, but I wasnt disappointed. The ambiance is...uhm...ok there's no ambiance. They try though! There are tablecloths on the tables...bungee tied to the tables. Theres a small vegetable garden and well-groomed shrubs in fanciful shapes around the property...which do absolutely nothing to distract you from the fact that you're on 22nd street and could be shot at any moment. The music playing in the background only contributes to your feeling of maybe being shot soon...but HEY! They try, right? They try hard, and its noticed and somewhat appreciated. Ill be back sooner or later, probably sooner than later, and you should be too.",
"Maico is convenient for the \"on way home\" stop. I never eat any place new until I have checked the Pima county health department checks. They rated them excellent on almost all of their visits so I thought I would try it. I got a #5 (taco, enchilada, rice & beans) and a two carne asada taco plate. The meat was tender and plentiful. No grizzle at all like El Guero Canelo, always lots of it. The enchilada actually had cheese in it, which means it wasn't flat like most others. The enchilada sauce was smooth not tangy. The guacamole was fresh. The rice was good and the beans were just runny enough to mix the two together. Yum. I will definitely go back. The ambiance the others mentioned wasnt really bad. It was still very clean. Nice set up, location and prices. Better than the others around town. With my two top choices being Maico and Taqueria Juanitos just to show my taste.",
"Maico is so oddly named that I wonder if drivers wanting a paint job for their cars pull up here mistaking it for Maaco, getting into their primered project cars with a delicious Texano burro instead of a paint job. The pleasant little patio with a hard-working sprinkler system is a nice place to wait for your oversized to go orders, and the red chile burro is (gulp) on par with the venerable Nico's version. The salsa packs a sweet-hot punch, and the sonoran dogs are gooey wonders. They've forgotten a couple of ingredients in my orders before (cheese and sour cream was missing in my last Texano) but we've never regretted a stop here and the service is professional and friendly. I can't imagine dining on the sun-scorched patio with the tinny little speakers blasting rancheria into the hot asphalt of 22nd Street, but they do take-out to a tee",
"I hate to admit, but I'm a bit of an extreme Mexican Food snob. You tend to get that way married to a Mexican wife that cooks authentic Mexican meals every night.\n\nMaico is hands down, by far, the best street-style, order and go Mexican food in Arizona PERIOD. I've had over 10 different items off the menu just so I could dampen my enthusiasm for their food but every time I stuff my face, I leave feeling ecstasy in my stomach. \n\n My personal fav's- Machacha Burrito, Arizona Burrito and the Cabeza Torta. \n\nENJOY!",
"Although I live walking distance from Maico and have been by it a zillion times, I didn't actually get in to try it until today. It was about 1 pm on a Sunday afternoon, and I ordered the green chile burrito from the whiteboard of daily specials. The guy working (who I think is the owner) said they didn't have any, but that the red chile would be ready in another 10 minutes. I instead opted for a chicken burrito (my second choice), which came in at $4.97 after tax.\n\nI thought the price was reasonable for what I received, a plain no-frills chicken burrito (just chicken inside, no rice or beans). The food was good, although I did think it was a bit bland and was wishing they had a \"wet\" option with the entire thing slathered in tomatillo sauce or something, The owner was extremely friendly, and I will definitely be going back just for the service itself!",
"I loved this place! Such a gem!! After a long day in my cubicle at UA, I really needed some authentic Mexican - a combo plate, to be exact. My fellow yelpers did not let me down, and thanks to that lovely picture that accompanies the entry, I decided to give it a try. It's casual, cheap, and they have a huge menu! As a vegetarian, I always look for something cheesy that I can smother in guacamole, and this place totally delivered. The staff was friendly, and I must say, I kind of liked sitting outside under the misters (even though it was hot!). I have a tendency to just spew praise when I love a place, so I'll wrap it up. Give this place a try, it's not far from downtown & campus. It's so good I immediately called my beau to tell him about it!"

"Great new asian restaurant in Kimberton area. Combination Chinese/Japanese/Thai menu. We tried the sushi and som Thai food and both were excellent. There is only one other sushi place in the area I know of and this place is better and less expensive. It remains to be seen if that is just to entice people to come back given they're a new business but they did a terrific job of quantity, quality and cost.",
"I really dig this restaurant! Most of what I have had there is really good, only exception was their calamari. I usually get the chicken satay! It is REALLY good - yum! They are always very friendly, they deliver, and food always seems fresh.",
"I've eaten here a few times, for lunch and for dinner and the food here is just simply delicious. I've had their rolls, which are always fresh and tasty. They have an avocado and peanut roll that I have started to crave. Once I start thinking about it, I have to go there and get it. It's a texture thing. I've had their Thai noodles and rice dishes and everything is equally fresh, flavorful, not greasy, and just right heat-wise.\n\nThis is a BYOB but there is a wine store next door. The restaurant is located in a strip mall (you're in the suburbs, get over it), but it doesn't feel like a strip mall. The pumpkin walls and dark furniture give it a hip, more urban feel. There is a sushi bar if you feel the urge.\n\nService is attentive and knowledgeable. It's the best Asian in the area, I think. The only drawback is, like many suburban places, they close early, so if you have California friends who are used to going out at 9pm for dinner, you have to eat and run. We have closed the place down more than once and the staff were more than gracious about it.",
"Some of the finest beef negamaki that I've ever had, anywhere!\n\nEverything on the menu, from the bistro duck, to the Thai entrees and appetizers has been great so far except that the green tea ice cream was suffering from freezer burn. \n\nCheck out the online-ordering option; it is one of the better ones I have seen on a restaurant website. Do eat in their dining room, since the staff is friendly and helpful, and you'll see those \"punky punkin\" walls for yourself!\n\n(I wish they were closer to home.)",
"FINALLY!!! We've lived in Phoenixville for 4 years now and had yet to find a place with good Chinese food. We were looking to order tonight, but were fed up with the places that we've tried in the past and looked online for somewhere new. I came across Asian Cafe and so we decided to try it. I can finally say that we have awesome Asian style food in the area!! The online ordering service made it very simple to place our order and every dish that we got was the best I've had in a long time. The Sesame Chicken had a great flavor and wasn't the overly-breaded chewy dark chicken that we've become accustomed to. Also, I tried Shrimp Mei Fun for the first time and was so glad I did!! We will happily be ordering from Asian Cafe going forward. Thank you for bringing quality Chinese food to the area!!",
"I feel like a jerk for writing this, but I don't love this place. Apparently I'm in the minority because a friend raved about it and it seems a lot of yelpers like it, too.\n\nI admit: I went once. I have zero incentive to go back so I can't say that I'll try it again.\n\nMy miso soup tasted like ... nothing. My sushi wasn't much better. I didn't even finish it - and I practically never leave sushi on my plate, even if it means physical pain to cram it down my throat. \n\nMy son's beef and broccoli was pretty good though. He ate quite a bit of it, but he'll eat just about anything if it's on the end of a chopstick. Still, it was tasty and easily the best part of the meal.\n\nThe staff was friendly and funny with my kids, so points for that. And it's so, so close and convenient that I really, really want to love it. Perhaps, for that reason, I'll give it another go at some point. Maybe it was just an off day? We all have those, don't we?",
"I went back -- if you call getting sushi takeout going back. I hate to say that my original review stands. Second time around my sushi was kinda smushy, kinda flavorless and not entirely unlike grocery-store sushi.\n\nPerhaps the rest of menu rocks? I don't know. My kid's beef & broccoli was good before, so maybe it's just the sushi that's soul-crushingly disappointing? To me, this place is like a Katherine Heigl movie -- everyone else seems to think it's awesome but I just walk away thinking, \"I paid money for that?\"",
"I go to this place at least once a week! Everything is so fresh and the people that work there are really friendly! Their spicy crab sushi is one of my favorites!",
"Food is just okay. Slightly better than takeout and the sushi rolls are decent. The seafood s pretty fresh and the rice isn't hard. Try the Sakura and sweetie rolls. But the duck? Um, I'd rather drive to Chinatown in my SUV and pay the outrageous gas price.",
"My wife and I eat at the Asian Cafe monthly and we're always impressed. Keep up the good work!"

"Decent place to grab a quick lunch. Had the slinger special. Nice portions and good flavor.",
"Been here a few times now... Everything I've ordered thus far is fantastic and affordable. Highly recommend.",
"I have had breakfast and lunch here, service was fast and friendly. Food was good. i look forward to going there regularly.",
"We stumbled across this place and what a surprise!! We had breakfast and the serving was absolutely huge!! I didn't know I was that hungry until I realized I had only 2 more bites left!! Get one of the breakfast skillets. You can't go wrong!",
"Typically, we eat at the restaurant next door, Best Breakfast and Burger, for our Sunday breakfast sometimes, but the wait was long, so my husband suggested eating at the Affton Diner instead. Little did we know how much we would later regret not just waiting for a table there. \n\nOnce inside, we waited for the bus girl to clean two tables before we could be seated. There was another couple standing behind us, and we both waited for five to ten minutes before the table was cleared. The other couple decided not to wait and had already left. Smart move! \n\nWe sat down and it took another five to ten minutes or more to get two cups of water. When we looked over the menu, we noticed the similarities between it and Best Breakfast and Burger. They both offer a Popeye and Mediterranean Omelet. That's were the similarities ended. \n\nAfter we placed our order, we waited at least 30 minutes or more before getting our food. In the process, the two guys behind us got up and left, after waiting forever to get served. \n\nAt one point, the manager or owner came out, instructing the poor bus girl to stop clearing tables and to bring water to the other tables. Meanwhile, we could both hear him yelling at his staff in the kitchen. It's a small space, and there's only a flimsy wall dividing the kitchen from the dining area, and we could hear him verbally abuse his staff.\n\nWhen our order came out, my husband's eggs were cooked incorrectly, and my toast was hard and overdone. The server offered to correct it, but my husband did not want to wait, so he said it was fine and he would just eat the order as is. \n\nAfter getting a fresh batch of toast, I took a few forkfuls of my \"Cheese Farmer Skillet,\" and the ham tasted like SPAM. The rest of it tasted overcooked. It had a weird, nasty taste that I could not pinpoint or shake. Meanwhile, my husband's sausage was so hard and overcooked that he could barely cut it. The blueberry pancakes were a joke. They were bland, and it looked like someone had just placed a handful of blueberries in the middle of the pancake. The pancake at the bottom was half the size and oddly shaped. \n\nFinally, we decided that we couldn't take it any more and requested our bill. We told them that the food tasted awful, after waiting for an hour. The manager/owner came up to the register, asking if we did not like our food, and we told him that it was terrible, and then my husband told him that he also did not like the way he talked to his staff. He said that he was understaffed today, trying to make up excuses for his behavior.\n\nOur server along with the bus girl even told us that we should not have to pay for it since we were so dissatisfied after waiting an hour for our food. I agreed! However, my husband was too nice and paid for it anyway. Afterwards, the manager/owner told the server to give us one of his cards, saying the next time breakfast would be on him. We politely refused and told them that we will never be back. We would rather wait an hour for food at Best Breakfast and Burger. \n\nApparently, a server quit there today, forcing the manager/owner to call the bus girl in to act as a semi-server, even though she had no training to do so. All the while, he kept yelling at her and the server, along with probably the cooks in the kitchen. \n\nI can see why his employees would be quitting after the verbal abuse. He would yell at the bus girl to not clear tables, then he would yell at her some more to clear them, only shortly before potential customers would walk out because they didn't want to wait indefinitely for a table. \n\nWe will never be back. Spare yourself the disgusting food, terrible service, and manager/owner who does not know how to treat his staff or customers. If you're in the area, just do yourself a favor and go to Best Breakfast and Burger. \n\nOtherwise, you'll end up at QT, getting a big soda and donut holes to wash your mouth of the taste of overcooked, funky tasting, nasty food. It will put you in a foul mood until your next meal. Actually, eating a Pop Tart would have tasted better.",
"For a small-town diner, Affton Diner wins!\n\nI was just in here today, and had an amazing meal with my family. \n\nI've been eating at Affton Diner for about 3 years, if you're not familar with Affton and the Bevo Mill area, a large percentage of the population is Bosnian. Affton Diner, is too is owned by Bosnians (I believe so) and who knows how to make better cevapi and doner than the Bosnians! I'm not Bosnian, but I lived there for a few years, and I can vouch that the food here is just as awesome.\n\nIt's definitely a small location, but it's often not too busy on the inside, as most of the customers do carry-out because they live close by. It's super clean, and there's also a little Bosnian store to the side so you can buy random groceries here and there. It's owned by an older lady, who is superrr nice. \n\nDefiitely worth checking out if you want some great cevapi, doner, or other bosnian foods. \n\nALSO --- Just caught this!\n\nThe review by Linda W, MUST be wrong, or must be a different affton diner (I believe the old eat rite on lindbergh also renamed itself to affton diner) \n\nI think this for a few reasons: The owner is an older woman, and the staff is nothing short of incredibly nice, helpful, studious, and quick. Nor, is there a wait to sit down at a table.. If you walk into this place and just stand there they're going to look at you funny because it's obviously a sit-yourself- type of diner. [as is any diner, right?] \nThe owner also does most of the cooking / serving and everything, i think her relatives may help out from time to time too. The food Linda mentions on the menu is definitely not even served at Affton Diner (its all doner, cevapi, hamburger, basic stuff) so -- eggs, omlets, etc, I know aren't on there.",
"Ate breakfast there once and that was enough. One friend got pancakes and said they were terrible. Meanwhile, my eggs bacon and hash browns were swimming in grease. After blotting what I could I tasted them and they weren't good. The service was poor also. There are two better places to eat breakfast at in Affton and others with better lunch/dinners. Don't waste your time with this place.",
"Had breakfast there for the 2nd time today; very pleased. The place is small, but the servings are large. Service is good and owner is friendly to a fault. There is another eating establishment a stone's throw away, but at Affton Diner, they make you feel like family and personal attention is not lacking. Both times we've eaten there, we've been so full when we left that we didn't need to eat lunch.",
"If you're looking for a real family owned and operated diner this is the place. Fast friendly service, Great food, polite people and clean as a whistle. They will gladly make your order to comply with special eating needs.",
"I had a burger and fries for lunch. The portions were huge and the place was clean. Service was good and the place was busy, Very affordable."

"Thank you to the management for reinventing as such a great, neighborhood appropriate restaurant. Family friendly while maintaining excellent quality and flavors. Nice selection of wine, but allows BYOB. Staff are super, and the space is beautiful. Value for the reasonable price. I almost want to keep you my little secret, but know it won't be long before word gets out. Looking forward to many delicious meals with you.",
"When I saw that Fitler Dining Room had closed, I was quite upset - it had become one of my go to place to show people what new American cuisine in Philly was like, to go on a date night, or just to enjoy a night sitting at the counter and watch the expert staff assemble delicious food and enjoy my own. Trattoria Carina is the next evolution in this spot. The location and staff are the same for the most part, but they blew up the menu and started from scratch and totally redecorated the interior. \n\nCarina seems to be trying to fly under the radar while they discover their new identity, they have no online presence, and seem to be operating as a walk-in discovery to whomever decides to venture in, and I am so glad I did. My partner and I sat outside, and pondered the menu for a while before deciding on ordering the some wine and grilled broccoli (normally a side for an entree) to start. The broccoli was perfectly grilled and had delicious cheese and breadcrumbs sprinkled throughout, and was a perfect start to the meal. Carina doesn't yet have a wine list, and they have a simple listing of white, rose, and red wines available. We tried the red and rose, and were very happy with what they provided.\n\nFor entrees we ordered two pasta dishes. The Shells Granchio Arrabbiato (or spicy crab) was delicious, the sauce had just a little punch to it, and there was not much in the way of crab (it was mostly small pieces sprinkled throughout). What we discovered then is that Carina is looking to really drill down and emphasize their speciality - home made pasta. The sauce and other ingredients are there to lift up and emphasize the pasta. While amazing, I normally would look for a little more when ordering a $20+ plate of food than just pasta, sauce, and a little protein, but whoa was it delicious. \n\nThe Gemelli Genovese was likewise very tasty. Whoever makes Carina's pesto sauce should be kissed. This dish likewise was light on other ingredients, with very thinly shaved pieces of cauliflower layered throughout. Again, I would normally look for more to a dish like this, but what they brought was a treat for the mouth. \n\nFor dessert we got hazelnut gelato, which was also very delicious - though it was served with a somewhat strange pretzel cookie, which seemed to serve as a palette cleanser, but didn't really seem to go with the gelato. I ordered a flourless chocolate cake which was sprinkled with confectionery sugar and which was perfectly moist throughout and had an explosion of pure chocolate flavor. My partner thought it could use some fruit to go with it (raspberry maybe) but I was fine with it just the way it was. \n\nService was also fantastic - Bruce was constantly buzzing by our table, answering questions and giving us tips. If you go make sure to give your feedback to the staff, as they are definitely looking to refine, revise, and evolve this place into a neighborhood spot that will last, and I hope it does. \n\nWe'll be back. Soon.",
"I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have a great Italian restaurant in the neighborhood! While I loved Fitler Dining Room, it was more of a once in a while restaurant for us. I can see Trattoria Carina popping up on the rotation far more often. \n\nThe restaurant was buzzing on Saturday night - we lucked into one of the last open tables outside and it wasn't long before people were placed on a wait. At this time, reservations are not accepted. I kind of like it - there aren't many places that offer first come first served, so Carina is perfect for a night when you didn't plan ahead but still want a nice dinner.\n\nThere is a short list of cocktails and also red, white, rosé and sparkling wine, which you can get by the glass or bottle. The menu is broken into starters, salads, pastas, mains and sides. We wanted to try a little of everything so we ordered the meatballs, pumpkin salad, tagliatelle with bolognese, shells with crab, branzino and broccoli. \n\nI thought all of the food was nicely prepared and presented and tasted great. I love a good plate of pasta and neither of our pasta dishes let me down. The shells may have won out by a small margin - the tomato sauce was just spicy enough and I loved the toasted breadcrumbs for some texture. The branzino was perfectly cooked and I really enjoyed the citrusy tomato salad underneath. Also, those meatballs! If Carina ever opens for lunch, I really hope they put a meatball sandwich on the menu. \n\nI'm looking forward to many more meals at this neighborhood gem!",
"What a wonderful little place. I was visiting relatives and we were all in the mood for Italian food. We came upon Trattoria Carina quite by accident and decided to give it a try. The staff is really terrific - friendly and genuinely happy to see you. The Chef came out to discuss some of his creations. The place is buzzing and charming to look at. And the food is really, really good. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a very nice dining experience.",
"I was sorry to see that Fitler had closed since it was one of my go to places to take out of town guests. When I tried the new restaurant, however, I was delighted. The interior has been redone and is warm and cheerful. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable and the same talented young chef that ran the kitchen at Fitler is turning his attention to the new menu of Italian food, including an array of really interesting pastas, all of which are house made. We started the meal with the grilled chicken wings with agrodolce sauce and I could have made a meal out of just those! The night we were there the special was a vegetarian lasagna, which was loaded with mushrooms, and had bechamel and red sauce, noodles, (house made!), and taleggio cheese. It was a lovely change from the usual vegetarian lasagna with spinach and ricotta and was absolutely delicious. The shells with crab and an arrabbiata sauce were spectacular- delicate and crabby and not overpoweringly spicy, but with a nice kick. The chef makes the best bolognese sauce I have ever had. I am so glad the place has reopened and it is back to being my favorite place to tke out of town guests, and, come to think of it, in town guests as well.",
"I've been to Trattoria Carina twice now, once when it was first trying out a small menu, and again now that it uses its full menu. Both times the food was excellent. The first time I was there, I sat outside and enjoyed a nice evening and long conversation with a friend. Tonight, however, I sat inside with a friend and after having been there for 1 hour and 15 minutes and ordering two appetizers and two entrees we were promptly asked by our server to leave to free up the table. I thought this was quite rude. The restaurant does not take reservations because it wants to have a relaxed neighborhood feel, but it does not feel very neighborly or relaxed to kick your customer out after an hour and fifteen minutes. Perhaps it would be better to take reservations and not rush their guests.",
"Food was good but portions are small. Seems like they are still trying to get themselves up and running since service was lackluster. We probably won't come back given how many other options there are in the city, but it was worth a try.",
"Just finished an amazing meal at Carina! It is an awesome small restaurant that really puts an effort into delivering high quality Italian meals. Our waiter was Beryl and he made some great suggestions- the lamb was fantastic (nice crispy outside and tender on the inside)!",
"(to the tune of \"Gorgeous\" by Taylor Swift)\n\nYou should take it as a compliment\nThat I'm known for not loving Italian rest'rants\nBut I couldn't leave the neighborhood without\nVisiting it's newest, adorable haunt\n\nYou could bring your mother, or even your bae\nWhoever you bring, this place will brighten your day\nThe joint's so cool, it's sure to blow you away (blow you away)\n\ncocktails on ice, few wines, they're nice\nWill improve your night, just wait in that line\n\nYou're delicious\nYou make me want to stuff my face\nI just love this place\nAnd I'm so furious\nThat I'm just now moving further away\nBut what can I say\nDelicious...\n\nOn a crisp Monday night, I went to celebrate some good news with my partner. We abstained from the adult beverages, opting to fill our stomachs with all the goodies they offered (minus the pasta, this time.) They bring you some DIVINE bread & olive oil (butter on request) after you order. After what felt like no time, the dishes were upon us.\n\nLobster soup - HOLY MOLY this meaty, warm bowl of heaven... There was SO much lobster meat in there, it could've been a meal. But we had just begun. Pumpkin & farro salad - came recommended, and with good reason. Grilled pumpkin, surprising and delicious, with a dressing that was refreshing without being too heavy. Three meatballs COVERED in a dusting of shaved ricotta. These meatballs were nice a big, a little tightly packed, but still tasty with the abundance of sauce. We also ordered a side of brussels sprouts, a special of the night, with capers, salsa verde, and MORE shaved ricotta - a real delight.\n\nFinally, our entree - a special of the night, the braised beef shoulder over creamy polenta and broccoli rabe. Confession - the broccoli rabe was the only thing the servers brought that didn't rock my world. It tasted almost chemical-ish, like it was cooked under butane or something. HOWEVER I just pushed it aside, and focused on the velvet beef shoulder, which fell apart when you looked at it, and the polenta, which soaked up all the juices like the tastiest sponge. \n\nThe servers were incredibly attentive and worked together seamlessly, without hovering. The pace was timed perfectly, and the whole experience was simply executed expertly. \n\nThis is worth the trip, no matter what neighborhood you live.",
"As an avid Diving Horse and P&K fan, this place is very disappointing. When it was Fitler Dining Room, the food was welcoming and fresh and the service was great. Now, the hostess is extremely rude, the wait staff is unaccommodating, and the food is sub-par. We have given it a few try's, but sadly won't be going back."

"Bob Evans is a pretty good restaurant. I mostly get breakfast from here. I've never had a bad experience and would recommend to others.",
"After living in the area for a year, I decided I would give Bob Evans a try. Even though it's a chain restaurant, the food was still pretty good! I had the French toast and everything came just as described on the menu that also has a long list of (potentially delicious, I'll have to come back) items to choose from. This place kind of reminded me of Dennys, but a little classier. Wait staff was attentive and the place was clean and well kept.",
"I love coming here with my family!! The food is always good!! Staff is phenomenal and there is always a manager on duty to check up on the service that you're receiving (I love this!) I recommend you come check this place out. The offer curbside service if you don't feel like dining in and I believe they cater.",
"Great food overall and the staff are friendly with a great manager. I have eaten in and done the take out many times and both a good experiences. \n\nThe food is delicious and filling for a reasonable price. So far I haven't had a bad experience. I just wish that they made Belgian waffles past 2PM during the week. \n\nI love the country fried steak and the chicken & noodle soup as well as the Belgian waffles. \nPlemty of options for everyone to choose from without breaking the bank for a family or large group.\n\nAlmost forgot to mention the different types of bread they have in addition to the standard muffin or rolls, etc. Very delicious and different from most places.\n\nYou get some great food and friendly service and the location itself is clean and well kept overall. I recommend it if you want some good food that is consistent for a reasonable price.",
"Used to be a 5-star from me but we came here this past Easter Sunday and not only were there no crowds but the food was not nearly as good as it used to be. The staff is still very good. This is probably a good value for a large family on a budget but alas my husband and I will be going elsewhere. It is a shame. I used to look forward to breakfast/lunch or dinner and a movie around the corner at the Regal Cinema.",
"Not a good experience today! Nobody to seat you found a seat and no one would wait on me I had to move to counter Then got ignored after order being taken. Disappointed.",
"It has nice service, but at the end of the day, it is just a Bob Evans.\nGo for breakfast and runny eggs with undercooked hash browns await you at a price that's double your friendly hometown greasy spoon's 2-egg breakfast. Fortunately, the banana bread is decent.",
"Great service and the food is amazing. Every time I come home to visit, we have to make a stop at Bob Evans!",
"Check your silverware! ! My boyfriends was still dirty! Though they did comp our whole tables meal.",
"The Good...\n The restaurant was clean\n The eggs of myBIG Egg Breakfast had a nice yolk to white ratio, but were slightly\n scorched\n The coffee arrived in a pot and was a nice touch \n The biscuits and blueberry pancakes were very good\nThe Bad...\n The home fries were not home fries but small cubes of potatoes but I can't be sure\n I ordered the hash browns as the potato cubes did not look at all appetizing as\n pictured on the menu\n Hash browns arrived as a dried out patty that probably went straight from the\n freezer to the skillet \n Eggs were tossed on plate one on top of aother.\n Bacon done just the way I like it, but on the skimpy side\n Price is a buck or two higher than some much better places in the area\n (Annamaries Cafe in Royersford and Nudy's in Phoenixville) \nThe Ugly \n (My brother-in-law specifically asked that his pancakes arrive with butter and\n syrup in lieu of the whip cream and blueberry topping described on menu),\n Our butter arrived in tiny plastic cubes, or I should say our \"Buttery Spread\" \n arrived. The main ingredient was soybean oil. With our waitress hovering\n nearby, we read no further, but called her over to mention we asked for\n butter not... She scooped up the cubes as half expecting our complaint and\n returned with real butter in similar cubes. \n Although we had already added what we thought was half and half or milk to our\n coffee, the soybean oil was enough to make us question whether this was\n actually a dairy product. Oh waitress... She returned,just as we were finishing\n our meals, with a fresh pot of coffee and what seemed like legitimate half and\n half, although someone may have had to go to the Wa Wa down the road to \n get it."

"Live music, slightly older crowd. Outdoor area. Small ice countertop like Subzero. It's seen better days...",
"Cafe Eau my god! I just puked all over my Diane von Furstenberg dress and Gucci bag! Please. You have so many great location to visit in Central West End, why waste your time on this place. Rich kids pretending that there is some sort of scene in Saint Louis with over priced, boring drinks. Who wants an appletini?",
"I stayed at the Chase on a business trip, so I decided to venture into one of its own venues for an after dinner drink.\n\nThis is place where you can unwind. Their martinis are good, nothing to complain about. The bartenders were helpful and pleasant. It's quiet enough that you can have a good conversation without having to raise your voice, even quiet enough to read a book at the bar. The crowd is an interesting mix of young, posing fashionistas, guys who just want to watch the game, locals, business people on trips, and couples in deep conversation. \n\nBottom line: If you're staying in the Chase and you're looking for a quieter scene, this is your spot.",
"The Eau Cafe in the Chase Park plaza is a great place to go and hang out. When I have gone to Eau Caf I have always enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere that the place has. I always feel as though I am a part of some Frank Sinatra movie at times because they place just emits this low key coolness about it.\n\nWhile being in the Central West End, Eau Caf tends to be a place where you will find that you won't run into the same people that you might find at the other bar you see at the time. Eau Cafe is a nice place to hang out and just enjoy you own company without having to worry about the people around you.",
"Not really my cup of tea. While I like the Chase Park Plaza complex and what they've done to it, I've never been a fan of Cafe Eau. Overall, it feels pretentious and overrated from the decor & bar-staff to the clientele. \n\nOn my last visit, I had just come from the Wine Festival in Forest Park and because it was hot out, I was drinking cheap, sweet whites. So, I was appalled to have to pay $10 at Eau Bistro for a glass of that crap. I asked for a menu at the bar and after it was delivered, the Bartender basically ditched our corner of the bar and never came back.\n\nAfter a 1/2 hour of waiting at the bar with a closed menu, and empty drink, I flagged down a bus person and asked if they could bring help.\n\nWhen help arrived, I ordered the mussel appetizer. The mussels were cooked just right, but they sat in a fatty chicken broth that had NO FLAVOR. Honestly, it's hard to get high quality mussels in the Midwest. So, most restaurants flavor the broth well so that the dish is as tasty as possible. But NOT Cafe Eau. Big disappointment and after two glasses of cheap wine, a bowl of boring mussels, and bad service in a pretentious bar, I was left with a $40 bill. \n\nErrrggghh! Don't get me wrong, I will pay $10 for a glass of reasonably decent wine in a restaurant/bar that has approachable and attentive waitstaff, but when the goods are so not worth the price... it ticks me off.\n\nI've heard that the Chase has recently inherited Brian Hale from Monarch to oversee culinary operations at the hotel and restaurants. I hope he overhauls the menu. If they plan to continue charging those prices, they better make the menu worth the price.",
"I went to dinner at Cafe Eau earlier this week and was not impressed by the food or the service. My friend and I decided to split the beef quesadilla appetizers and 10 minutes later the server brought out an appetizer platter instead - she looked like she was going to walk away before we spoke up about receiving the wrong order. Then she confessed that she typed in the wrong order and didn't have the heart to tell the kitchen. We ended up keeping the appetizer platter but only paying what we would have for the beef quesadilla. Nothing on the platter was spectacular or really even all that good. The meat in the pork pot stickers were grainy, the toasted ravioli was a lot of breading and not much filling and the buffalo chicken bites were just mediocre. \n\nI ordered a chicken Caesar salad for dinner while my friend ordered the fried tenderloin. My salad was OK and his beef was just OK as well (i thought the beef had a funny texture to it, almost like it had been steamed)...nothing to write home about. We asked for the check and the server gave it to us, only to come back 3 minutes later with the correct bill (she had handed us another table's check). \n\nOverall I wouldn't come back here to eat, I think i might come back for a couple of drinks at the bar. I just don think that the food is worth the price you pay for it.",
"I went to Cafe Eau tonight after a long day of clinic and class with a friend. We shared the Shrimp Roll to start, and then I had the Mediterranean Flatbread and she had the spinach salad and soup (Beer and cheese soup - bizarre!)\nWe loved all our food, though I'll admit some of the descriptions seemed unnecessarily snobbish. \nService was quick, our waitress was nice, and best of all - we had a $25 gift certificate and wound up only spending $18 after tip, combined. \n\nFairly quiet on a Tuesday night, but we'll probably be back.",
"With no desire to walk outside on a bitterly cold January night while staying at the Chase Park Plaza, we headed down to Eau Cafe (Café Eau per their website)\n\nUpon seeing how busy it was, my wife swore we'd never get seated. Wrong. We had to wait a couple of minutes for the hostess to seat a big party, but then we were seated quite quickly. And in a nice corner booth.\n\nSo service is going to suck then? Nope. Our server came, took our drink order and returned with them quickly.\n\nSo the food is going to be crap? Wrong again. Wife got the Chase Park Plaza Sirloin Burger (Boursin on burger is so money). I had the Beef Short Rib flatbread (a.k.a. pizza, with wild mushrooms, blue cheese, Fontina and caramelized onion. Thank you copy and paste).\n\nI'll just say that my wife's burger was truly one of the better burgers I've had. Anywhere. And the flatbread was pretty tasty as well.\n\nThe drinks are standard nicer place pricey ($10 or so, thank goodness we were going slow at night, after 4 hours at a wine tasting), so it didn't kill us. Beer was cheap ($4.25 for a pint of Guinness).\n\nThe \"bar side\" is wicked smokey. So if that's a problem for you, wait a year, then try it.",
"If you want to people-watch, dance, and not have to talk to your friends/date- come here on a weekend around 11pm. \n\nSeriously! You can watch old rich guys making out with young tan blondes, and dance the night away on a tiny crowded dance floor. Oh and you can spend 10 minutes trying to get a bartenders attention for a drink or to validate your valet parking ticket. \n\nThe shame is that the reviews on this place are going to differ drastically depending on what time and day you come. It might be wonderful on a weeknight (although will still have overpriced martinis). But on a weekend, after 10pm- the live music starts... it gets so loud you can hear it blasting in the lobby. Not just \"hearing\" it in the lobby. Blasting into the lobby. Don't expect to have a conversation in there. You can try, but unless you're an expert at reading lips you'll have a problem.",
"The service and the food is only so-so, but the outdoor, poolside/fireside patio is exquisite. Beside the fun view of Lindell/Kingshighway, the couch/fireplace combo and the large pool with its multicolored lights will add (at minimum) 10 Classy Points to your evening. Inside however, Cafe Eau is just another place to get pricey cocktails."

"It's Taco Bell...we all know the deal, right?\n\nI just wanted to write a review of this location because the staff at this location consists of some great people. Whenever I go in and get to the register, whoever is manning the counter smiles, says hello, and doesn't just worry about rushing, which usually results in mistakes. \n\nAnd yes, I'm one of those crazy, pain in the butt people that always has to add or remove an ingredient or two... They've got me covered no matter what I want to order though, so it's all good and I will keep spending my change there. :)",
"I love tacos, nachos, burritos, well lets face its all the same stuff, I prefer something a little more authentic, but at 2am taco Bell will do. I have never been stuck in a long line at this location and have not had an order come out wrong yet!\n\nI love the steak quesadillas and the nachos hit the 2am post-drinking spot.",
"I like Taco Bell in general: it's fast, cheap, and tasty. But I like this Taco Bell a lot, because they never skimp out on fillings, toppings, or etc. I always get a full burrito, never a flat tortilla with a little cheese like at other Taco Bells I've ate at.",
"GOOD CREW. CHEAP FOOD. \n\nThis crew is really good right now. I hope they can keep them and train more like them in the future. \n\nThe service is fast and the dining room is clean. \n\nThe big question is why Taco Bell refers to their food as BEEFY instead of BEEF (e.g., Beefy Tostada.... Beefy Burrito).There's a difference. Why can they not say BEEF?",
"Usually this taco bell is fine. Nothing stands out, negative or positive. But I have to laugh when I go an hour before closing, when it's dead and people are ready to go home, and I'm told \"computers are down\" so I can't order anything. This has happened twice.\n\nRight.\n\nAs an aside, I am a professional who works very late hours. When I go through a drive through at 3 am, it's not because I was out partying all night. It's because I just finished a 19 hour work day, I'm hungry, and i'm tired. But I can promise you that at the end of that 19 hours, I treat every single one of my clients with the same pleasant attitude I did at the start of that day. \n\nI get that working nights might suck, and you only do it for the shift premium, but there's no reason for being rude, lazy, or a liar just because you're tired. If you can't hack it, change your hours. Your customers are paying the same money they are during the day, and they should get the same level of service. This seems to be a trending problem among late-night places around here.",
"Ruining 15-30 minutes of my day:\n\nI was not too pleased with the piss poor attitude at this establishment. There was a simple miscommunication that we tried to figure out at the drive through. I had simply asked for some hot and fire sauce and they charged me $0.30 for \"firey sauce.\" I just wanted to know what it was and was trying to hurry for the long line behind me - no big deal right? WRONG! I pissed off the wrong person! I didn't appreciate that you charged me for this, didn't give it to me, gave me only 3 fire sauce packets for 2 people, and then when you checked my order, crumpled up my casadilla into a ball. I mean, they literally must have grabbed my casadilla and smoshed it into a ball. Not happy. Definitely not coming back to this one and I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE.",
"Amazing customer service. I went through the drive thru, where I received great customer service. Then I decided to eat inside, where I had an employee come around to the table checking to see if everyone was doing okay. Way more than I would expect from fast food. Keep up the awesome service!",
"just ate here tonight. service was friendly and quick. i was in and out in 3 mins. food was hot and appealing. i will be back.",
"I don't expect much from Taco Bell. Really. But 25 minutes to get two chicken burritos in the drive through was irritating enough to force me to write a bad review. I barely got an apology. Even a free taco coupon would have made me keep my mouth shut. Keep driving to the next Taco Bell location.",
"I really want to like this Taco Bell. It's close to my work, the workers are always super nice and seem like they're having fun, the parking lot is convenient and easy to get in and out of, dine in and employees ask if you're doing alright or bus your tray for you if they have time, and it's Taco Bell. But lately, it's been horrific. 20 minute wait times in the drive thru. Whatever, I'm patient most of the time. I can chalk it up to new employees because they got my order wrong for a long string of time. But for the past 2 months or so, EVERY time I go, they forget something. I just went now, and they forgot something AGAIN. I can't keep ignoring these problems. Like I don't want to call and complain over a $2 taco. But now, it's starting to add up."

"In fast food circles, this diner style restaurant chain is one of the best and this location is better than average. They re-did this particular Steak 'n Shake about 10-15 years ago, but it has been at that corner since the 1950's.\n\nPositives:\nIt's cheap and everything is made to order\nDrive thru service is available 24 hours at this location\nTable Service available, if dining inside\nThe BEST vanilla ice cream around and the sundaes, shakes and malts are AWESOME!\nThe \"Steak-burger\" can be greasy at times, but it is made from a combo of T-bone, sirloin, and round steaks and is NOT the grade D beef, that most fast food restaurants serve.\nChili 5-way is a heart attack waiting to happen, but oh so yummy\nThey have REAL breakfast with REAL eggs.\nService is better than average for fast food restaurants\n\nNegatives: \nHey, it's fat food (I mean fast food), what can I say.",
"I have been eating at Steak n Shake for many years, and sadly the past several times have been nothing but disappointing experiences, one after another. I was a regular over at the Chippewa location from its opening, and several bad experiences there with the wait staff convinced me to try a different location. While at first this location seemed to be better, the wait staff was more tentative to our needs as a waiter/waitress should be, and the food was being brought out promptly and hot, so I assumed it would be a nice change.\n\nunfortunately the past few visits have left me wanting to just give up on the chain all together. the steak burgers seem to be consistent, and that's a great thing, however the fries and the chilli are what I am having the issue with. they have been coming out cold, chewy, and last nights version, crunchy and well done. The chilli used to be a favorite of mine, but sadly I find that lately the quality just hasn't been there like it used to be. maybe I am hitting the place on a bad night, who knows.. if that is the case then its been consistently bad on those nights. I am not going to give up on the chain all together mainly because I have been going to them for over 40 years now, I am just hoping to land there on a good night so that my views and opinions will be different... I know it's fast food, but come on, it isn't that hard of a job to do...",
"What's happening to managers lately? Are they not being paid enough?? Geesh. Just got off of the phone with the new manager at the Gravois/Hampton Steak and Shake location and what an attitude :( \n\nIt started out as a friendly call to let them know that the chili mac that we had ordered from drive thru earlier was almost empty, did not have the proper portion, and it was not what we were used to at Steak and Shake. He responded with s defensive tone and claimed that the pasta is rationed out for the chili mac and isn't intended to be a full container. I added that I am there often and it has never been this empty and he argued that he was new at this location, but that they have probably been rationing the pasta incorrectly all along. \n\nHonestly, the container was almost empty, I can't believe that they would intentionally send it out like that. He disagreed without even asking to see it and he acted like I was an annoyance. I told him I thought this was an error but if that is the intended portion, I will not order it again. He made noises like he was annoyed and he complained that I should have called earlier. \n\nWhy does it matter? I have the receipt and the evidence and besides, it's drive thru food. When I order the chili mac, it's usually intended to be a meal for later. I'm so sick of poor service and snotty managers. Take the feedback and either offer to replace it or apologize, but don't act like you are put out by a customer trying to give feedback about a poor experience. No one would have been happy to get and pay for almost empty chili macs. \n\nIf this is the future of this Steak and Shake, I'm out. I can make chili mac for the whole family for what I spend on one there.",
"I LOVE STEAK 'N SHAKE RESTAURANTS! They are team players here and make mostly everything from sauces to of course the yummy shakes! ;) Good Eats, Fast Service @ Cheap Prices. + If the order is not right they are more than happy to make it right! They must be doing something right, for the business it turns daily. Give it a try and a \"like\"\n(*Always tip your server 18% standard tip on the total bill before discounts/coupons. They only make $3.63hr + tips & pay taxes on tips)",
"After far too many bad experiences at the Steak 'n Shake at Hampton/40, I decided it was worth driving to this location to get my steakburger fix. What a great idea that was! Unlike the other location, this one is clean and has pleasant servers that can keep up with the demands that come along with a restaurant full of people. The food was hot and delicious and I didn't leave wanting to punch someone in the face. This is where I'll go from now on!",
"One of the best SNS experiences I've had in a long time. They served the chili Mac with plenty of noodles, plenty of sauce and the guy at the drive thru was super happy and friendly at 6 AM on a Sunday morning!",
"One star is too many. Spent 25 minutes later in drive thru and finally gave up. Five other cars behind me pulled off ahead for f me. Spent at least 10 minutes at the ordering speaker. Hong horn, tried to get attention. Called on the phone and put on hold before I could say a word. Called back and yelled at a manager that wanted me to drive back there and buy me lunch. A terrible experience. Service has been a problem there for a while but this went beyond ridiculous. One star is too good a review. Stay away!",
"I give this Steak n Shake another chance about every six months or so, because it's much closer to my house than is the one on Chippewa near Kingshighway. I mean, I figure at some point, someone will have to wake up and drag this location up at least to the fairly low average Steak n Shake standard of service -- but so far this hasn't happened.\n\nThey *look* busy, but nevertheless everything takes a lot longer than at locations doing about the same amount of business.\n\nIt doesn't matter if I sit at the counter, or at a table, or go through the drive-through or even if I call ahead with an order and then wait before going down there: I'm going to be cooling my heels for about 25-35 minutes waiting for them to produce food. If I go inside at all, this means that I'm in there for long enough to smell like a steakburger until I wash my hair.",
"This is the slowest Steak N Shake I have ever been to. One night the drive thru took 25 minutes.",
"Horrible service , dirty seating , vary poorly managed. Corporate needs to clean house."

"I have been at this location for work functions a few times. Sometimes its just 3-4 of us for a few drinks after work, we also had a huge event here a month or so ago for a company anniversary party. They closed down the larger of two rooms for us to have private access to, we have always received great service and friendly management. Especially considering the larger event had over 100 of the staff members doing a cocktail party set up so no tables and everyone seemed content with their drinks and food orders were quickly taken and received despite the difficulty of remembering and finding the person that placed it. \nFood is not much to write home about as far as quality, but its a bar & grille not a steakhouse and I was pretty happy with how accommodating they were on all the occasions I have been here.",
"I've had the same thing at the Fox & Hound both times I've gone here: Grilled chicken and coconut shrimp. \n\nMmm mmm mmm.\n\nThe prawns are huge and the chicken has a yummy glaze on it that I makes my mouth water. Is it teriyaki? Is there a hint of honey? I don't know, but it's deeelish.\n\nI also love the dipping sauce that comes on the side ... an orange-flavored treat.\n\nThe Fox & Hound is an English Pub & Grille, so you'll find a nice sampling of good drinks as well!",
"Decent specials--but the real reason I like the 'Hound is shuffleboard and big TVs to watch games.\n\nThe food ain't bad--if you know what to get. I tried their chicken tortilla soup, and it tastes like chili covered in marinara sauce. The chicken and cremini mushroom pizza (they call it \"basil pesto,\" but I don't taste any pesto) is really good, with chunks of cheese sprinkled around it. My only complaint: The cracker-thin crust makes for a less substantive pizza, and the traditional style is $1 more.",
"I only go here on Tuesday nights because the $2 pints special is really, really awesome. If you love Guinness, Newcastle, Leininkugle, or even Bud Light on draft, and for 2 bucks, this is the time and place for you. I once ordered the Turkey Melt, and it was ok. Actually someone snagged it (im sure it was Karma coming back to me) but our waiter noticed and ordered me another and it literally took 4 minutes. It does get pretty packed around prime time and a little loud around the bar, but its worth it.",
"I am definitely biased in making this recommendation -- my husband and I had our first date here back in 2005. \n\nThe food is nothing special and the beer/bar selection is nothing spectacular. However, the atmosphere is fun for watching games and the bar food is stuff that you can never go wrong with. \n\nThis place can definitely get packed and the wait staff do have a tendency to forget about you after a while. They are quick to remedy that, however, if you remind them that you are there.",
"All I have to say is $2.00 pint night!! Yipeee!! I have been a fan of Fox and Hound since Memphis THEN Birmingham NOW Indy. This place is no where near my home but I have spent quite a few Tuesday nights enjoying my pint. \n\nI am not a fan of the smoke but I tolerate it...wanna know why? Duhhh $2.00 pint night!!",
"I went for a group function this past weekend and had to remind the first server three times that I ordered a drink. The second server, Adrianne was much more prompt and is a sweetheart to boot. I had another function with the group the next night, but I really wanted to be at Fox and Hound to watch UFC and be served by Adrianne, whom I gave a very good tip the night before which the first server missed out on. I'll be back this weekend.",
"I've been back twice since my first time...three weeks ago and last night...and that's because Adrianne my server the first time works most Fridays and I wanted to have her serve me. Adrianne not only is easy on the eyes but is very friendly professional and prompt and is a sweetheart...and if it isn't real busy like last night she'll take time to talk to you for a couple minutes. \nI didn't get much to eat because I ate before I got there..I got potato skins to go and they were good....the nacho platter I understand is huge...I'll have to try out the other food later....there are about 50 bottled beers and one is called Young's Dirty Dick (I'm serious). There are lots of sports on TV including the baseball package and UFC. \nBack to the service....if you go to Fox & hound and if Adrianne is working please ask for her...and please tip her very well",
"It has a decent beer selection, but it can get very smokey: too much smoke in the air for me.",
"It just keeps getting better and better. $2 Tuesday night pints make my day. Great service."

"World's bombest veggie burrito. I have driven the length of California for one of these bad boys, and I'd do it again. Mmmm mmm. When I lived in Santa Barbara I seriously ate here way way too much. But oh so happy in the tummy.",
"THE best pastor tacos ever. You have to eat at least three and then top it off with a Negra Modelo. And the salsa is extra hot hot hot.",
"Hands down-- the best, hottest, most wonderful salsa verde I've tasted in all of Santa Barbara County. \n\nThe tacos al pastor ARE delish.",
"Gross, gross, gross! \n\nThe food was pretty decent. It wasn't anything special in terms of Mexican food; I've definitely had better, but I did like that they offered many combinations of fillings in their burritos, and I could order something off of the menu, rather than having to pick and choose ingredients for a custom burrito. \n\nThe atmosphere was a bit...creepy. At the time, my friend and I were the only white people in there. Now, that's all fine (lots of Mexicans means decent food, right?), but I could have done without them staring at us the whole time. \n\nThe T.V. was set to a Spanish station that featured lots of bikini-clad girls dancing around to mariachi music. I'm not sure if this was a positive or a negative. I found it positive because it was like watching the Spanish version of MTV, and I like learning about other cultures. It was also positive because if people were ogling the T.V., they weren't staring at us!\n\nSo, what knocked Taqueria Rincon Alteno down to one star? THE RESTROOM. IT WAS DISGUSTING. Now, I've been down to Mexico and have dealt with the piss-poor (no pun intended) sewage systems, or even a complete lack of a sewage system. I know that you can't flush the toilet paper down the toilet. In Mexico. However, this is the US of A, and you can't tell me that the sewage system in a ritzy area off the 101 isn't able to handle toilet paper. There is NO reason why I should have to sit next to a basket full of wadded-up, used toilet paper when using the restroom in a place that serves food. That is just gross. I literally felt sick and couldn't finish my food when I came out of the restroom. Don't go to this place, not even for a quick bite to eat and restroom break on a road trip, like I did.",
"holy al pastor! wow, my al pastor taco was amazing! i loved it. and they had the carrots at the salsa bar. i heart carrots. wow, and those carrots were spicy. my mouth is burning from the carrots and salsa still. i love that feeling. next time, hopefully i'll be starving so that i can get the burrito. oooor maybe the sope special with rice and beans. although one sope is too much food for me.",
"Bleh. \n\nI had such high hopes for the place, but what a let down. The menu and the place were all very convincing... but\n\nThe salsas were freaking boring. \nThe pico de gallo looked as if were a few days old, meh. \nNot going back.",
"Best Al Pastor Burrito EVER!\n\nI used to go here all the time when i was at UCSB, when they had a sister restuarant in IV. If you haven't tried the super al pastor burrito, you are missing out- Rice, beans, cheese, salsa, guac and juicy-tender-greasy-al pastor-goodness.\n\nNow that I am in the Bay Area, I've yet to find an al pastor that is comparable. Some reason the al pastor up here has too much pineapple juice(?) or something. It is just too dry and too sweet up here. \n\nSo, whenever I pass through SB, I have to stop by \"ghetto burrito\" and get my fix.\n\nThere is not much reason to stay for the atmosphere, the salsa bar is always fresh (take it togo), chips are homemade (take it togo), plus you'll want to wash your hands and face after you finish your \"ghetto burrito\".",
"this place is excellent...\n\ni have tried many taquerias looking for anything that comes close, but i've been sadly disappointed every time. \n\noh al pastor, how i love you. wish you were closer to the bay.",
"my new favorite mexican food in SB. so pleasantly unpretentious and low-key. the chicken burrito is insanely great with a unique flavor (and unusual curry-like color) and perfect size. big but not too big, it stays together (mostly) when you are eating it which makes it perfect to grab and head over to Crackhead...er...i mean Vera Cruz park next door to eat under the warm Santa Barbara sun. the chili verde is also fantastic, super flavorful and fabulously tender. the wife gave the veggie burrito a good grade but i've yet to try it because i'm so cracked out on the chicken one.\nalso the salsas are great contrary to what others have said...\nthe green salsa is surprisingly hot...",
"Very good tacos al pastor among other things. \n\nSomeone gave them one star based on their bathrooms? If you are going to spend $4 on lunch, please do not rate the place one star because their bathrooms are gross. The tacos are good."

"We wen't here yesterday for my birthday dinner and it was one of the best places I have ever eaten! The decor and ambiance of this place is outstanding. The service was exceptional along with our drinks and food. We ordered tapas to begin with and then our table of 8 also ordered individual entrees. The entire table was raving about how great the food was and to top it off the desert was phenomenal. The Chile con Carne dough God is amazing along with the Prickly Pear Ribs. I can't say a single bad thing and will absolutely be back!",
"Sometimes in life you stumble upon a restaurant so amazing it changes your outlook on food and the way you eat. Barrio Cuisine is one such place. My boyfriend and I wandered in on a weekday night and were pleasantly surprised to say the least, from their amazing craft brew and cocktail selection to the unique and fresh menu selections Barrio Cuisine will have your taste buds dancing and leave you wanting more. Their tapas menu is full of great selections such as the Choriqueso and Ceviche which are both out of this world in flavor and quality of ingredients. The Barrio jalapeños are a must try and the locally sourced Tepary beans are a unique change over the normal pinto bean that is used so much throughout the region. \n\nAs of this post the restaurant has been open for about two weeks and we feel that it will be here for a years to come. Make your way to Barrio Cuisine and immerse yourself in local cuisine like you've never had before!",
"Okay, yes, I got the Indian fry bread with red chili. However, it was the best red chili fry bed I have ever had. This place is taking some of the classics and elevating them to a whole new level. Other options on the menu looked very tempting. Chorizo burger? Yes please. The tapas and bar menu also looked delicious. Unfortunately, this was a work lunch. So, I guess I'll be going back.",
"We sat at the large square table. Evening started out ok but quickly went south. Appetizers came out before we had our drinks. Water was never refilled. Server was horrible. Food was bland to say the least. I had short ribs, gf had enchiladas. Ribs were sub par of a crappy Chinese buffet. Appetizer was a trio of flat breads that was inedible. About a half dozen people in plain clothes came and asked how everything was, I don't know if they were managers, owners or hostesses but they didn't do anything. Skip this place, it won't last anyway.",
"Been there twice. Delicious, interesting food. The staff is absolutely gracious. They couldn't be more attentive or charming. Will go back for sure.",
"I heard about this place opening and finally got a chance to try it last night. It's a lot bigger than I expected so at 7pm we were able to get seated right away. The ambiance is cool. They have a high top \"bar\" with a fire pit in the middle. There are a couple couch seating areas and a lot of 4 tops. \n\nStarted off with drinks. I think the bar was slammed from a big party they had there so they took a wee bit to get them. The rosemary honey cocktail and the pulpa margarita were sweet and tasty.\n\nWe wanted to try a good selection of authentic dishes so we went tapas style. The dough god trio was wonderful especially the calabacitas. Also had the Tostadas de Jaiba and that was the best thing I had. Authentic crab in a killer cilantro aioli sauce. If they made a bigger entree version of this it would be awesome. Also tried the Potato nachos which were slices of potato fried covered with yummy cheese sauce. Not the typical nachos and that was a pleasant surprise.\n\nHad to try the fry bread dessert, I guess my expectation from street fairs etc was too much. It was the only thing that was so so. Otherwise I will for sure go back there and try other things on the menu. Service was wonderful and attentive.\n\nNicely done guys.",
"About 3 weeks ago my husband and I saw a write up in the latest( Nov/Dec) issue of edible Baja Arizona, of a new restaurant with contemporary Native American food. We immediately drove straight to it and it was closed with no hours posted. Not to be deterred we called every few hours until they confirmed their hours ,when someone answered the phone. We went for late lunch the next day, Sunday and had tapas and cocktails; although we came right when lunch was ending and dinner service was about to start; we basically had the ability to choose the lunch, tapas or dinner menu. We went with their tapas and I confirmed their hours, posting it to YELP. We started by ordering their version of a michelada called the Barrio Chelada, which is made with Indio beer; we both loved it. Light and refreshing. They have a craft cocktail menu that I can't wait to order through. I have since had pineapple serrano cilantro cocktail which was bright and refreshing.\nWe then proceeded to order a ton of items off of their tapas menu:\nCholla Pico\nCeviche\nTostadas de Jaiba- a chilean crab meat tostada\nDough God Trio: Fry bread base- three tacos of indian fry bread(WIN WIN WIN)\nBarrio Jalapeños with soy lime vinaigrette\n\nTopping off all this with two desserts:\nRoasted corn and Poblano Brulée ( not at all like Crème brûlée)\nYaqui Bread Pudding\n\nThe first visit was a wonderful success as the food was a delightful new array of tastes, however I do not agree that their Roasted corn and Poblano Brûlée is a dessert, as there is no sugar topping, and it's not sweet. Seems like a starter more than a dessert; my dessert stomach was not happy. This was not how I wanted to top off my gluttony of a meal. Again loved all the tapas but each is the almost the same price as the lunch entrees so it added up quickly. \nThe location and building is lovely to look at, open and airy with movable glass walls along Broadway, which both times I dined at Barrio Cuisine, were opened to allow in the amazing winter Arizona air. In the center of the dinning room is a huge table that seats 20 people with a huge flaming centerpiece, which I was utterly mesmerized by. \nBarrio Cuisine is a restaurant, bar and lounge, but soon enough I learned there is a one stall room for the lady's room and a one stall room for the men. Sadly both times I dined at Barrio Cuisine the bathroom lights were off and the light switch is not right next to the entrance door but around the corner from the entrance, so I had to hold open the door with my foot and reach along the wall for the light switch since the room was too dark to see. So if you and your pals are all going out for drinks, just be aware you and everyone dining are all sharing limited facilities.",
"We loved this place. I wasn't sure what Native American food would be like but it was great. The short ribs were melt in my mouth tender. I never used my knife. The veggie side dish was fresh and delicious. The beans were not my favorite but were good. Tried my partners rice and was jealous I hadn't ordered it. Wine list is limited, but good picks. Partners steak was tender and good. Pretty quiet ambiance, beautiful atmosphere. Service was quick and attentive. Give it a try!",
"There is potential here. The place is beautiful and big. Servers need more training on dishes, but that happens with new places. The fried bread needs big improvements. It had a bad taste and was white, probably needed more frying. Options for vegetarians are dismal and vegans have no options at all. They have gems hidden in the components, but the while dishes are not executed well. We have big hope for improvements.",
"Ate at Barrio Cuisine last night - what a great place! Attentive service, eclectic menu, wonderful food. This is one of those hidden gems in Tucson; we discovered it because we saw the lights from the corner of Congress, and asked someone walking by what that was; her answer was 'Barrio Cuisine, go and check it out, it's wonderful!\" We're glad we did; very, very friendly greeters, explained fully about the menu creation, and then our waiter came and talked with us about the different dishes. Chose a well-priced wine from the extensive list, went perfectly with our dishes. We asked about portion sizes, they were explained clearly and found that the food was ample for the four of us. Tucsonians, go and check this out - hope it stays around, as we'll go again and eat a full dinner."

"Not too bad. New and recently opened. Lunch special came with soup, crunchy noodles, 2 cokes and the meal for $7.76. Vegetables were crisp and fresh. Rice wasn't bad and the chicken good. Most importantly the kitchen appears quite clean as does the lobby.",
"Awesome location and EXCELLENT Food!! Everyone there is so sweet and the restaurant is small and very beautiful. Great for take out. Food comes out fresh and delicious. Highly recommended, worth the drive, the taste and the bucks. Great job guys!! We'll be back! Bucks well spent here!",
"They don't understand enough english to ask questions about placing an order for delivery vs pickup or even about the food. Very frustrating!",
"Must say. Food and service Awesome\n Fresh steamed vegtables and awsome wonton soup. Beyond yum. Thanks Marphy. So glad I came in and ordered. You were right. Awsome food and very clean establishment",
"Upgrading to five stars. Excellent food as always!!!!!!!! Food freshly prepared crisp veggies clean lobby pleasant staff always a good choice!",
"Yelp and other online search engines have given this a 5 star rating, which was weird to me. However, this is, by far, one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to. Online ordering was super easy. The food is made with fresh ingredients and tastes delicious. The lobby and, from what I could see, the kitchen were super clean. It is a little bit of a drive from my house, but it totally worth passing all the other so-so Chinese restaurants on the way to pick up their food!",
"Online ordering was easy. All ingredients were fresh and had a great taste. Best Chinese in the Port Richey area. Will be back.",
"Best Chinese food in Tampa Bay Area outside maybe Yummy House on Hillsborough!!!~ New and very clean with nice/small dine in seating area if so desired. Fresh cooking you can taste, with higher quality ingredients than any of the other Chinese restaurants around!!!~",
"I have not been a fan of Chinese fast food since I moved to Florida. The food is usually very oily. However, once in awhile I get the craving for Chinese food. Super China is hands down the best I have tasted in the 20 years I have lived here. You need to give it a try yourself as you will not be disappointed.",
"This is the best Chinese food I have found. Prices are reasonable. I got the sesame chicken and my boyfriend got general Tso and each order was big enough to feed 2 people. The crab Rangoon was nice and crispy. And we added a side of chicken lo mein that was full of flavor. We also liked that our meals came with the pork fried rice at no extra charge. I know most Chinese places I've been to before give you white rice and then charge to change it."

"Great steak. Currently on some days of the week they have a prix fixe menu that has filet and prime rib on the list of main dishes. The petite cut of the prime rib is a good size portion for your average diner. You do also have the option to upgrade for a larger cut of the steak or the prime rib if you wish. I would definitely upgrade the steak cut due to size.\n\nPrime rib is juicy and well cut with a good portion.\n\nThe desert option I chose was the key lime pie, one of my favorite deserts. The filling is firm and even without lumps. The lime taste is tart but not over poweringly sour. The crust is crisp but not soggy.\n\nParking at night is available across the street at a couple of other business that are closed at night. These lots have signs posted out front for easy identification.",
"We went to Walter's for Delaware Dine's Out, but when we got there, we found out they have a 4-course $30 prix fixe menu a few nights during the week normally.\n\nThe food was very \"steakhouse\", and I don't mean that badly. It was good, wholesome, straight-forward food. My husband got the scallops wrapped in bacon, which mostly tasted like bacon (which is a good thing!) I got the lobster bisque, which was smooth and full of large pieces of lobster.\n\nThe bread and salad course was fine. I liked the croutons.\n\nThe prime rib was very tasty. The potatoes au gratin were hot and cheesy. That is one thing I can attest to: all of the food came out hot and fresh.\n\nThe bananas foster for dessert was a perfect end to the meal. Not too large of a portion and not overly sweet.\n\nI would definitely recommend Walter's to anyone looking for a good, hearty meal.",
"One of the most awkward dining experiences ever... Mediocre food and worse service... Go to Sullivans instead...",
"Totally overrated and overpriced. Their stuffed potatoes are identical to the frozen ones I got in the mail from Omaha steaks.",
"Don't waste your money. This place is overpriced with lousy service, a stuffy atmosphere, and mediocre food. \n\nWe had dinner reservations for New Years Eve. The entire staff was overwhelmed, distracted, and in a bad mood.\n\nThe bartender was incredible rude and seemed irritated at our presence. He actually turned the wine bottle completely vertical while pouring it and splashed on the counter. He also threw my credit card on the bar with an attitude when I asked to pay our tab as our table was ready. The hostess was rushing us to sit down and the bartender was too busy to give us our slip back so I ripped the tag from the machine myself and signed the sheet.\n\nOur server was nice but not overly friendly. I feel the whole staff was taken by surprise that is was New Years Eve and busy. My main complaint about the server is that she made a comment to a guest in our party that a medium well filet would be a hockey puck but then had nothing to say when she delivered my steak that was noticeably overcooked in the hockey puck fashion (I ordered it medium rare).\n\nI have no good things to say about the food. I worked in the restaurant industry, in a steakhouse for many years and I can honestly say you could go to an Outback to get a better meal. The filet mignon was severely overcooked and dry. I did not need to cut into it to tell it was overcooked but did not complain due to our experience with the wait staff. The stuffed potato was a joke. I would not been surprised if I walked into the kitchen and found a slew of open boxes of the frozen \"twice baked potatoes\" you can buy in the supermarket. There was no plate presentation, which I could have overlooked however when an oversized plate with a microwave potato and a hockey puck arrive, a little bit of kale could help to ease the pain.\n\nThe portions of appetizer are to be expected for an upscale steakhouse but were nothing to write home about.\n\nThe salad and bread course was decent. However a few extra vegetables besides the one tomato in my salad would have been nice. The bread was warm and the butter was good.\n\nI was hoping to redeem the entire experience by ordering their \"signature\" Bananas Fosters. It was very good, but nothing you cannot get anywhere else that serves Banana Fosters.\n\nI was thoroughly disappointed with our experience at Walters and will never go back; which is a shame as my husband and I dine our frequently and it is so close.\n\nI would suggest chain restaurants like Bugaboo or Outback over Walters. If you want a white table cloth go to Sullivans.",
"One of the previous reviewer wrote \"awkward\" and now I understand.\n\nIt was clean and nice but dated and expected.\n\nThe waiter was nice yet odd. Looks like he was a seasoned waiter that had been there for years yet he had to go and ask the chef what Chicken Piccante was. (OK, i was testing him, but really....Chicken Piccante has been chicken in a white wine sauce with lemon and capers since the beginning of time folks!)\n\nWe went for the Prix Fixe Menu for $30.00 per person. I will take you course by course.\n\n1st Course ~ My Ceasar Salad was barely chopped romaine lettuce, mounds of bottled dressing and a heavy sprinkling of cheese with a few soggy croutons. Husband's was a cup of overprocessed lobster bisque that was OBVIOUSLY from a can and reheated.\n\n2nd Course ~ We both got the NY Strip. It was cooked right but was a bit tough for my liking. Here's the kicker - NO SEASONING. I mean NOTHING. Does the chef not realize that Salt and Pepper are the cornerstone of seasoning in a kitchen?? Everything should be lightly seasoned, at the least. 2nd kicker - the side of mushrooms and side of asparagus HAD NO SEASONING EITHER!!! Really?\n\n3rd Course - My bread pudding was a pre-molded gob of sad looking bread pudding. (it read \"Banana bread pudding, but I could not find the banana). Wasn't even warm. Had a spray of redi-whip with some raisins thrown on top. Three bites in and I was done. (and if you have read my other reviews, you know I am a dessert crazy person!) My husband's key lime pie was artificial and sour. \n\nThe bread was good.\n\nAnd lastly, my husband ordered a Blue Moon Beer, which comes with a slice of orange on the glass....His orange slice was shriveled up and dry. I was so tempted to take a picture but thought that might be in poor taste. Not a way to start the meal.\n\nSo $60.00 for our meals and extra for 2 coffees, a beer and an extra order of asparagus with tip came to $91.00. \n\nHave had better meals for less. \n\nDisappointed and Got a serious \"creepy\" vibe from the place. I agree with my previous reviewer Torin M.....awkward!",
"Walter's is a Wilmington institution, and a great local steakhouse that has managed to persist in an age when chains like Ruth's Chris, Morton's, and the Capital Grille have run other similar establishments out of business. There's a reason it's still around---excellent food, personable service, a tremendously good wine list, and a classic, intimate atmosphere give it the feel of being the \"nice\" restaurant in a small town. Wilmington has developed a fairly respectable dining scene over the past few years with the opening of some trendy new establishments, but Walter's still jockeys with the best of them and remains, in my opinion, the area's benchmark for steak.\n\nI've dined at Walter's on multiple occasions, so I'll pass on detailing any single meal and provide some blanket assessments. At the heart of any steakhouse menu is of course the steak, and in this case it does not disappoint. All of Walter's cuts are very high quality, and their prime rib selection in particular is worthy of praise. I have comparably less experience with their seafood, though I've never been disappointed in either the shrimp cocktails or lump crab meat. Sides and salads are your standard steakhouse selection, with everything ranging from iceberg wedges doused in a pint of blue cheese to potatoes fried, baked, and twice baked in a number of configurations. Deserts are also what you'd expect---crème brûlée, cheesecake, chocolate heart-stoppers. Everything on the menu is very good.\n\nThe wine list, however, is the real hidden gem of this establishment. Extensive and generally well priced, there's something excellent available for every taste and budget. If you know your wine, paging through and choosing for the table will be a treat.\n\nThe wait staff also has a lot of experience, and many of them have clearly been there for years. They know how to treat people well, and I have yet to encounter anything but professional, courteous conduct from those who have serviced tables for me.\n\nMoreover, Walter's can be a relatively good value. There are weekly deals and prixe fixe menus available on most evenings, making it affordable even for those who are not looking to spend a fortune. They also occasionally feature impressive tasting menus (with alcohol included). Walter's even has its own dining points program, which can pay dividends if you visit often enough.\n\nIn short, Walter's is a traditional steakhouse. There's nothing trendy or experimental about it, so if you want to eat miniature gourmet versions of junk food, or deconstructed, pipette-delivered anything then look elsewhere. This restaurant applies a tried and true formula and it does so extremely well. There are a few nitpicks that I should mention---the food presentation is spartan, even for a steakhouse, and the music in the reception area is conspicuously of the elevator variety (giving the wrong impression when you walk in). But the bottom line is that I've gotten nothing but satisfying meals with great service every time I've gone there.",
"Went for father's day (for my 82 year old dad). It took over 45 minutes to get our entrees. Asked for a box for my leftover asparagus. A server took the leftovers and never returned them. The server came back to the table and I asked for them. He totally ignored me. I thought he might be deaf! My dad never got his bearnaise sauce. Our original server came back and apologized. He said something bill, I'm not sure what. I asked for asparagus and he said he would be back. We got tired of waiting and left. I forgot to mention that it took forever to get our check. Also, a two top and a four top came in after us, got their food and left before we did. We had a table of four. I was very disappointed, especially since it was a specail occassion for my dad.",
"I received a call from the owner of the restaurant. He explained to me what the problem was that evening. Two parties were late. He offered to send me a gift certificate. He was very pleasant and went out of his way to listen to my comments and assure me that what happened to my group was a blip on the radar. He said they work very hard to provide good customer service and rarely have problems. I appreciate the timely manner in which he got back to me. The food was good that evening. I would definately return for a second visit!",
"Good every time! \n\nBest app is calamari....\n\nThe steaks are excellent...\n\nService has been up and down, but usually up :) \n\nI don't expect GREAT service anywhere.. so this doesn't bother me \n\nThe bananas foster is a must!"

"These people must know what they are doing... after only being open for 2 days the staff was on their game, the atmosphere was magical and the food was the best vegan cuisine I have ever had. As a vegan I have been dreaming of a place like this coming to the area. It tastes like they have a true chef designing and executing exciting, healthy meals. They aren't just another vegan restaurant trying to imitate familiar foods. This is true fine dining. We brought friends who are not vegan or vegetarian and they really enjoyed their meals. The chef even agreed to some special meal requests for our children. \n\nI can't wait to go back so we can try more of the menu. I recommend making reservation for a patio table so you can enjoy the beautiful outdoor atmosphere they have created. There is outdoor heating so no worries about it being too cold.",
"What a gorgeous restaurant. Modern yet warm Montecito-chic with the place brimming with beautiful people. Oliver's will likely become a favorite local hangout since the bar doors fold back to a charming patio filled with tree lights and comfy furniture making it a great place to mingle and meet. I've dined there twice now and if you are a vegan, I would imagine this is nirvana. The cauliflower 'steak' with lentils has great flavors, as does the mushroom tostado and sweet potato appetizer. Less appealing was the bland farro 'risotto' with squash and tomatoes but no noticeable herbs, garlic, wine, lemon (or worthy butter/cheese substitute). The veg burger was rubbery although the side salad was good. The cocktails are inventive and tasty, wine selection good, and on tap a Topa Topa IPA --my favorite local beer. So with excellent service and ambience, what's missing? Me and my fellow dining companions agreed we would love it (and become regulars) if they added a few fish or chicken side options for us omnivores. A girl can hope.",
"I've been vegetarian for 37 years and have had the opportunity to try veggie restaurants all over the US, Canada, Europe, and Israel. My favorite for the last two decades has been Millinium formerly in San Francisco, now in Oakland. Our fist meal at Olivers blew us away. We had three small plates all of which were wonderful, but the artichoke \"crab cakes\" were out of this world! The summer risotto and keep noodle pad Thai were amazing!!! The service was top notch and they did a really nice job transforming the old dinner into something classy without being pretentious. It's amazing to have this just a three block walk from our home. We will be regulars!",
"It's a really good restaurant!\nThe atmosphere in the restaurant is so nice. \nI like the idea with no meat on the menu!\nIt was a positive experience!\nThank you..",
"This is the best Vegan restaurant I have been to. It has been years in the making but it's plant based AlIVE and oh so good. The ambiance is simple and stunning at the same time. The bar is a great hang out place for a large group of friends or you can hang outside and dine under the stars. I have to say this will be my new normal. Great job Oliver's , I'll be back over and over and over again. Shhhhhhhh my favorite was the Artichoke Crab Cakes which I didn't get a photo of because it was gone before I took a photo. Sometimes you just can't help yourself.",
"Highlights: \n -Great elegant atmosphere, similar to Somerset or BlackBird in Santa Barbara.\n -Variety of dishes and options, good portion size.\n -Nothing heavy with cream/butter so feel great after a large meal.\n -Fantastic mixed drinks (Juice Ranch mixers)\n\nDownside:\n -While the dishes looks great coming out, there was a lack in flavor.\n -Seemed to have a lot of grain/legume/potato dishes instead veggie heavy options.\n\nFavorite dish: \n -Artichoke \"crabcake\".\n\nThe Polenta, Carrot Udon Noodles, and Artichoke Ceviche all left something to be desired in flavors. That being said, my girl friend and I left stuffed with food leftover after ordering 2 appetizers and 2 entrees so the portion sizes are generous.\n\nI look forward to going back to try more of the menu and finding favorite dishes!",
"I loved Peabody's just a block from my house. Tammi did a great job bringing the quality up to a delicious level. It closed and a couple years later we have Oliver's. \n\nI posted the menu, refreshingly healthy and vegan. I was kind of excited. Ordered a Caesar Salad and a glass of the Cab, Cab was delicious but the salad was so salty I couldn't eat it. They were nice and let me pick again. Beet Avocado Salad with Citrus. Still extremely salty but better than the Caesar. \n\nI need to give this place another chance, perhaps the wild mushroom tostada will curl my toes or the Pad Thai will blow me away... I hope so. \n\nSo far anticipation has exceeded reality while I have been anxiously been waiting for this restaurant to open forever my initial introduction has been a disappointment.\n\nOk, as I wrote this the manager approached me and said a couple wanted to sit st the bar, asked if I could move over a seat.... no problem. I got comped my glass of wine!! This place is looking up.",
"It's like... high end vegan heaven. (And I love meat.)\n\nSo obsessed.\n\nEverything is good!\n\n(My faves are avocado crab cakes and beer salad!)\n\nCheck it out!",
"As a non-vegan I knew it would not be my new favorite place but I was eager to give it a try as I always enjoy trying new places and I try to eat pretty healthy. \n\nI can't say I was disappointed but i also was not blown away. \nIt was also pretty expensive. Which granted is expected in montecito. But to serve chick pea \"crab cakes\" at a comparable to reall crab cakes is a little absurd. \nEverything was tasty though. \nI did order the crab cakes and I really like them! \nI had the lush bowl and tuna salad as well. \nThe only thing I would not order again would be the potatoes with truffle. Very very bland. Even after adding lots of salt they were not very flavorful. \nGreat service! Our waitress was very delightful! And the guy who was setting the tables around us was very friendly as well. \nThe cocktails were good. They are basically pressed juicery juices with alcohol. A little expensive for being so simple. The bartender was nice but not super talkative.- which I thought was a requirement for all bartenders to interact with the customers well. \nI would go back with my vegan roommate but probably won't take my sister when she comes to visit.",

"I went here tonight for dinner and it was fantastic. I loved the atmosphere! The beer selection on draft was diverse and the food was great! I had the steak tacos and dip trio app! Both were delicious. I can't wait to come back.",
"Went to Circle 7 Ranch tonight and am probably going to make it a regular thing. This location is super close to home and has some really great service. Our waitress, Gabby, was very attentive and made sure we felt welcome and that we had everything we needed. My food was all very good, but the dip trio is something I'll be ordering again soon. I can't wait to try sitting in the bar area and trying their at-table beer taps!",
"We were supposed to wait 45 minutes but it was only a 20 min wait. The service was quick, and the rustic environment was mixed with a sporty vibe. The food was very good, and moderately priced. The pickle chips were really good. Will definitely return.",
"I was impressed! This place just recently opened and the customer service was amazing! We came during mid dinner rush last night and it was packed. We sat at the bar and our bartender (labeled Bar P on receipt) was so informative and was always checking in on us no matter how busy he was.",
"I went in for happy hour and was not disappointed. The people were friendly, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was great. Tried the dry rub wings and they were very good. The food prices are very reasonable. My only criticism would be charging me 50 cents for a side of bbque sauce with my wings and an extra $2 for a 'tall' price cocktail at happy hour. These charges are unnecessary. Nevertheless I will definitely be back and recommend the place to others.",
"For starters, the service is impeccable, which, in my opinion, is unheard of for a new restaurant. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Whenever we needed something, we were helped immediately. Whenever a plate was finished or a napkin dirtied,someone would come assist us immediately. With that said, you still don't feel rushed. The food is spectacular. They have a large menu that even the pickiest of eaters can probably find something. Between my husband and I, we've had the brisket nachos, Southwest ranch rolls, el borracho burger, statler chicken plate, fried pickles, and Circle 7 Ranch wrap and all were delicious. Overall, if you're looking for a great place to eat, look no further. I will be definitely return.",
"Loved the location on Clayton Road, and this new location is as good. This is how you run a restaurant: over staff with friendly people, have a large menu, and spare no expense on the inside decor. We waited a longer time for our food than usual on our last visit and a manager came and apologized. Funny thing is that we never said a word nor looked frustrated. That is service. There's a reason the owners are so successful in their various restaurant ventures around town.",
"This is the half order of brisket nachos. Half. Order. It's a ton of food. Also pictured is the Smokehouse burger. This is our first visit here. Great place to come to see a game as there are numerous TVs and friendly wait staff as well. Charles was our server and he made a couple of great recommendations. We also tried the Honey Fiery Shrimp as an appetizer. Some at our table liked it better than others. I prefer to taste the shrimp and this could have been any protein fried and drowned in sauce. Tasty? Yes. Shrimp? Not really. \nWe will be back. And ask for Charles.",
"Four of us had lunch at the Des Peres location. Loved the patio area, although too cold yet. Excellent, friendly service! Food - needs some work. French fries are terrible (and I love good fries!)'. Two had the fish sandwich. Two of the three pieces were mushy and inedible. Also, there was far more bun than fish. With a little work in the kitchen, this will be a nice addition to the area",
"I came here last week with my team for lunch. I had driven by it a few times but never gone inside. Our table started with the honey shrimp appetizer - it was really delicious and gone in no time at all. I ordered the bbq chicken salad for my meal and thought it was one of the best that I've had. The toppings were well balanced. The chicken seemed freshly grilled. The portion size was just right. Our server was wonderful and we got in and out in about an hour with an appetizer. I will definitely be returning."

"The name suggests a chain restaurant but the Kopper Kitchen claims to be family-owned. It serves good but bland American food, lots of it for a bargain price. My wife ordered an open-faced steak sandwich with fries and a Caesar salad. The steak was quite large. She declared it was excellent and discarded the bread. Price: $7.99. I ordered a chicken soup, advertised as a cup but delivered as a bowl, obviously not from a can, thick and hearty with big chunks of chicken plus string beans, carrots, red bell pepper, etc. It only needed spicing up. I used half a teaspoon of pepper; green tobasco would have worked, too, perhaps a little better. As an entree, I ordered a roast beef sandwich with Swiss cheese, which was very good except for the white balloon bread sprayed brown to look like whole wheat. Price of the entree: $6.99. Decent beer list, too. If you can beat this food for the price, you're eating at home.",
"Good size beers. Service experience felt cold. I thought the food was not that great.",
"Really, this is one of the best breakfast places I've stumbled upon. It seems to be just another standard diner... but NO! They have unique combinations like a blackened prawn omellette. There was a cream cheese blackberry french toast I longed to get, but after all the other fattening vacation food, my friend and I opted out. \nI ordered a standard eggs and wheat toast. Simple and good. The prices are a bit on the up, but it was the only decent joint along that stretch it seemed)",
"We stumbled on the Kopper Kitchen after attending a book fair at a nearby hotel conference room. It was just the ticket for a convenient fast lunch on our way to our next errand. \n\nThe food is home made tasting and hearty. Good enough beer selection but I would have expected more from a local joint. \n\nThe Kopper burger is worthy of a signature name.\n\nIf you want some basic Americana fare this is your place.",
"Maybe I was expecting too much. I was hoping for something better than Denny's but perhaps not as good as the well-known breakfast places in town. I was disappointed. The coffee was perhaps the worst coffee I've ever had at a restaurant--weak and stale. I realize that it must be hard to run a full-service restaurant without the volume to sustain the highest-quality food, but at least the coffee should be good at breakfast! The server was helpful and attentive, and the booths were comfy, but I won't be back.",
"Seriously have been waiting 45 minutes for a BLT and seafood basket. 2 guys walked in after us and got their soup and salad, appetizers, and steaks before we got our course. Not impressed and won't be back.",
"Me and the hubby were driving to Vegas from Seattle and stopped for the night at Inn America (which was pretty but had uncomfortable beds). Kopper Kitchen was the only place close by with decent yelp reviews, so that was dinner. We were very pleasantly surprised. We had salisbury steak, though i think they called it something else, ground beef steak or something. The beef-vegetable soup it came with was wonderful, my husband doesn't even like soup, but we were both sad when it was gone. The steak and the mashies they came with were very yummy. We were so impressed that the stopped in on our return trip even though we weren't hungry, and had the exact same thing, even though the beef vegetable soup had dissappeared =o(",
"Website said it was open till midnight but was closed at 10! What \"pub\" closes at 10 on a Friday night??",
"Went in for breakfast on a cold day! It was quick and hot! Food was ok, the syrup was very plaining and when I mentioned that to the waitress she smiled and said she hears that a lot! \n\nHmmmm, NOTE TO OWNER: Good french toast with bad syrup means is a no no! You can buy cheap cabin log syrup that ease better than what you are using. It really kills the quality of the food and kept you from getting 5 stars from me. \n\nWaitress was very nice!",
"My husband and I stopped in on our way home. The restaurant is a little decieving from the outside; we thought it was going to be way nicer. I ordered the fettuccine and must say the salad that it came with was the best part. It wasn't normal fettuccine and reminded me of something you'd get out of a box. I must say the place was clean which is always good but I found myself wishing we had gone to the Denny's across the street..."

"I can't speak for the whole menu. The pulled pork was decent, the sauce had a pretty nice, but sweet flavor. Nothing to write home about, but it hit the spot. The bread was right out of the package.\n\nGood slaw and good beans. Not a heavyweight in a BBQ fight, but will satisfy your hunger for bbq in a pinch.",
"The best barbecue in Tampa. Alex does a great job with the bbq meats. The chopped pork is always a fave, the beef is also great. I never get chicken here, so I can't say. They also cater; they're my goto place for quick get-togethers at the house. The baked beans are in a world of their own - by far the best I have ever had.",
"Great southern style bbq. Also, don't eat their baked beans. Not because they are horrible, they are so good you might find yourself stopping by daily just for their baked beans! The only peeve i have is their chickens are on the smaller side, not a deal breaker though since the quality is so good.",
"Big fan of Alex's when I lived up near Citrus Park. My usual was the Pork Sandwich and definitely the fries. The fries are a hearty steak cut with the best seasoning. Best Fries Ever. \n\nBBQ sauce is good, on the sweeter side. Always good quality meat and plenty of food. The pork sandwich platter with the sides can easily feed three hungry grown-ups.",
"When our family say \"let's get BBQ\", 75% of the time we mean Alex's. We love the pulled/chopped pork, fries/wedges, and okra. We usually get takeout because it can be pretty smoky inside, but we've eaten in a couple of times.\n\nWe also love Alex's story (read the newspaper clippings on the walls sometime) and have donated to the Christmas bikes fund several times.",
"If you are looking for that great barbecue pit that reminds you of cook outs when you were a kid. This place is not it. The food was terrible. The meat tasted like it had been left on the grill way too long. Sides were horrible, they tasted microwaved. Very very sub par place to eat. Wouldn't eat this food again even if it were free. Best part about it was the friendly girl who took our order. If I owned a restaurant I'd hire her. But The food is not worth the trip. If you haven't eaten here before I would recommend you skip it. it's not even good for a quick fix. \n\nThe Sauce is very sweet, the beans are very sweet. I like my foods sweet but it seems they were \"thickened\" to keep fresh for a long period of time, this place is just awful. Besides the friendly service from the girl behind the register. This was a place I can't wait to forget.",
"The best ribs in Tampa, not a big fan of Alex's sauce but the food makes up for it",
"The best ribs I've had in Tampa by far. The meat is fall of the bone tender, and the BBQ sauce on them is to die for. That have a great smoke ring around them, showing that they are authentically smoked to perfection. While I have tried the other meats on their menu, they are far outshined by the perfection of their ribs. The baked beans are great, but they are very sweet, and the okra is fantastic, and served nice and hot and fresh.\n\nThe interior is very modest and pretty plain, and the walls are a tint of yellow from all the smoke (which is an AWESOME thing, people)! The guys behind the counter were very friendly as well.\n\nIf you're in the mood for some ribs, this is the place to go, you won't be disappointed and you surely won't leave hungry.",
"Great food, great price, great story.\n\nOur family \"go to\" meal is the Pulled Pork Family Pack. It comes with about a pound of pulled pork, 4 buns, bbq sauce, and 3 sides. We usually get fries (wedges), fried okra, and baked beans. They are ALL good! Best part? All that for about $20. We get this meal about every other Sunday after church, to go. It is smoky inside, so if you eat in, you will smell like bbq all day long!\n\nAlex has an annual Christmas bike drive for kids in need. He is a constant presence in the community as one of the good guys! \n\nEverything else we've eaten there has been pretty tasty: sausage, ribs, chicken. The to-go pork sandwich is HUGE and will take care of your lunchtime hunger!",
"Hands down best BBQ in the area. I have been coming here for years with complete satisfaction. Fantastic lunch specials. Alex himself makes the BBQ sauce and it is DELICIOUS!"

"Amazing customer service!\nThe gentleman with the beard and glasses who took my order was very nice and helpful when i couldn't decide what to order, he took the time to tell me what ingredients were in each of the most popular sandwiches and then gave me the option of the \"pick 2\" to add a cup of soup because i was getting a half sandwich, and then the option of a baked item for 99 cents more, which i normally wouldn't, but because the guy was SO nice i did.\nAND THEN, when i was waiting for my to-go order, there was a gentleman (almost bald, a little on the heavier side) who was very nice to me and asked me my name so he could give me my order when it was ready and even asked if i needed extra napkins.\nthe whole experience was refreshing and i am SO glad they put one in by the mall - when i lived in California i used to eat a Panera Bread EVERY day and now i can again!!",
"Went to lunch here last week. The French onion soup was awesome. The kale salad was awesome. My smoothie was awesome and the cheese Danish I got was also (you guessed it) awesome. I was very pleased with this place. My mom and I both were totally full and happy for less than 30 dollars. The staff was really nice and helpful. I will definitely be returning!",
"I'm not a fan. It's a happening place though, I'll tell you that. I'm a fan of soup and salad but this place didn't do it for me and I really wanted it to be. When I walked in and the line was nearly out the door. Gotta be some good food! I noticed tablets on the wall where you can order your food and not wait in line. So I gave up human interaction and used technology. Free coffee signs illuminated the screen. I was disappointed on the menu selection. Limited number of soups and salads. They didn't even have clam chowder! We ordered and sat down. Was excited to get my soup in a bread bowl. The food came, the food went...It wasn't my order. Human error. Cool. \nMy food came. The half a sandwich was more like 1/4 sandwich. Literally gone in two bites. Rather disappointing. My friends soup had cheese that didn't melt and placed his finger in the soup and it was cold. I thought no way can't be cold. I took a spoonful. It wasn't luke warm- it...was...cold! \nBread was okay... nothing special. \nSalad, Sandwich, and beverage $13. Could have spent the same money at a sit down restaurant and be satisfied.",
"I think the description \"good chain restaurant\" is an oxymoron. So what a nice surprise it was to enjoy my first ever visit to a Panera Bread. The choice was based on the real estate adage \"location, location, location\" for a quick breakfast with a lovely Yelp friend who was in town and suggested we meet up. Since neither of us had ever been to Panera and this fit the bill for being able to eat and visit for an hour before her morning appointment, in we went. At 8:00 'ish' on a weekday morning this spacious, sparkling clean, fast-casual food restaurant was virtually empty. So there's a note if you're looking to avoid crowds.\n \nSWEETS & OTHER BREAKFAST EATS: The pastries in the bakery case looked pretty darned good, with a sticky bun calling my name. Alas, no sweets for me until Lent is over so it will give me a reason to go back to respond to the call. There were healthy breakfast choices too, including steel cut oatmeal with fresh strawberries and pecans. Also bagels of several kinds with cream cheese of several flavors. Breakfast sandwiches too.\n\nTHE DRILL: Order at the counter or by kiosk at the front of the store but that's way too high tech, low touch for me so we did it the old fashioned way by talking to the helpful woman behind the counter. They'll give you an electronic \"id disk\" with a number on it. Take it with you to the table or booth and when your order is ready, they deliver. Bus your own when done, but if you fail to do that they do clean up after folks. Food is served on real plates. Hooray. Coffee, the dark roast is pretty darned good, is serve yourself in ceramic mugs or big paper \"hot cups\". \n\nPRICES: Very reasonable, we thought, for the quality of the food and format. Light breakfast for three was under $12.\n\nTHIS N THAT:\n\n1) PARKING: Private lot which seemed to have ample spaces.\n\n2) ACCESSIBILITY: Accessible parking in lot. Level in the door and all on one level inside. Lots of standard height table seating. Booths along wall are standard height too.",
"Glad to see Panera finally migrating to Boise. Love the food, the fast casual watiterless concept and clean, modern environment. Great soups, salads and baked goods.",
"I love Panera food. However, this was the SECOND time in a row that this store missed putting something in the bag of my to go order. Last time it was a cookie - no big deal, I didn't really need it anyway, and I allow for an oops every once in awhile. This time, they forgot the cream cheese ($1.30 extra charge, btw) for my bagel. Um, that's kinda important to me. Get it together, Panera. The Meridian and Nampa stores seem to have it more together. This store needs to focus on getting the orders down on the first try.",
"I have mixed feelings about this place. The sandwiches are delicious but way way overpriced for a chain drive through. I got a 1/2 sandwich in the Pick Two yesterday and it was TINY. Like four bites. I paid over $12 for half sandwich and half salad. I can get an awesome meal at a local restaurant for that or less. It also took forever to get through the drive through. Unfortunately, I probably won't go back since Boise has so many better options.",
"I come here often and have never been disappointed. Staff are friendly, food is always hot and fresh and they always get my order correct. The location isn't the best but it's worth the hassle getting in and out for such yummy food and smoothies.",
"Great lunch on Independence Day. Had the place to ourselves. Wife had the chicken chili salad, I had the tortalinni.",
"Love this place & their green passion smoothies are like drinking an orgasm, if orgasms tasted delicious & like orgasms- they're great for you too!"

"Good, fresh and dependable unlike almost all the other Thai here.",
"when i was in new orleans the second time post katrina (this was october of 2005), we were able to actually stay in the city (still camping out in parking lots and occasionally on generous folk's couches) and a few restaurants had opened back up. this was, at the time, the only restaurant in new orleans that served tofu. and you know laura b. be needing her tofu especially after a solid month of living off clif bars and bruised apples (damn, i lost a good amount of weight though. i mean, i was looking GOOD. and by GOOD, i mean skinny. i am totally fucked up in the head. i must say though that the people of new orleans, in the most fucked of situations, would still stop rescue workers all the time to offer us whatever food, drinks, or company we might need. it is really humbling when a person who is going through their destroyed house trying to salvage whatever they can asks the privileged humane society worker from california if YOU need anything. families would go out of their way to cook vegan for me when i only met them the day before! the kindness was bordering on insanity...it was so overwhelming. and i only had to tell one person that alligator isn't vegan.) \n\nANYWAY, back to singha. i ate here maybe 15 times. delicious thai curries made vegan with tofu and veggies and FANTASTIC spring rolls. the KINDEST service under the most horrible of circumstances...it must have been soooooo hard to open up in a basically destroyed city where running water had been up for only days. the restaurant itself is super cute too, with a long bar up front and a couple rooms in the back...feels like you are eating in little secret nooks no matter where you are. an awesome place to eat when you're in nola. 5 plus plus plus stars.",
"Well what can I say. I have a love/hate relationship with the place but for the most part, I love the pad woon sen and there are new dishes on the specials board. Check it out. Although the softshell crab is a bit overpriced because the portion is just not justifying. \n\nIf you work in the CBD nearby, get there before the line starts forming, but make sure you understand that if you come in during the height of lunch hour and you have to sit at a tiny table, apologies because that's alll they have left, it's a popular spot and if you have to wait they usually comp you with the veggie crispy spring rolls or some shrimp and pork dumplings. YUMSSSSS\n\nEverything is homemade and the staff is harried during lunch but otherwise if you are not happy----u know what you need to do.\n\nThey usually accomadate you if you have special request for veggie dishes too! \n\nPlease understand that they have to tone down the spice(ALOT) because most of the customers who do frequent the joint cannot take real Thai style. However, if you think you can take it--ask the person waiting on you to make the dish THAI SPICY.\n\nFull bar and accepts cash, credit--no checks yo.",
"I came here with work people who eat here for dinner almost every other night. The waitress knows one of the guys so well that she brings him his beer of choice without even asking what he wants. It is slammed at lunchtime, so get there early if you don't want to wait (even the carryout wait was 20 minutes when I tried in vain the week before for lunch). \n\nOur dinner was good - I enjoyed the duck dish that I ordered, but I should also say that most people at the table were surprised by the spiciness/lack of spiciness of their respective dishes, based on the separate descriptions they had received for their entrees from the menu and the waitress. A minor detail, and shouldn't stop you from checking Singha out.",
"Great tasting Thai food. Not very spicy, but I bet if you asked they could kick it up a notch for you. Not a very big place, but it was nearly deserted when I went for dinner. I look forward to returning here.",
"I think this place is worse than Basil Leaf. \nThis is the greasiest pad-thai, along with Thai Style Cafe on La Palco Blvd. My husband had basil chicken; he doesn't even remember because it was so bad. \nThe service? I felt like the step child who asked for food. The only thing great about this place is that we walked to this restaurant from home to have bad Thai. \nThis is another place I'd recommend to friends who never had Thai before.",
"Got take out from Singha one night in New Orleans. The menu really surprised me - not what I'm used to. I have kind of a hear no evil, see no evil relationship with thai food. Don't remind me there's fish sauce in there, and I'll pretend like I don't know about it. Anyway, even with that relaxed attitude there was nothing on the menu even resembling vegetarian fare. Where's the Pad Phad? Pad Thai with Tofu? Panang Curry with tofu/veggies? \n\nI ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and asked to sub tofu for the chicken. The friendly counter staff took my order without batting an eye. My dinner was pretty good, but nothing worth writing home about. My dining companions said the same about their orders.",
"I'm from Thailand and thought the food was pretty good. I've taken to go back to my hotel room twice this week.\n\nI find the dinner menu to be a bit expensive, but it might be similar to what other restaurants charge in the CBD.\n\nThe staff is very friendly.",
"Love this place! Glad they were able to expand cuz the customers were piling up - spilling out the door!!! I always get the Carondelet Shrimp (R-8) at lunch - well, I've tried other dishes which are good - but just keep going back to R-8 !!! I wish they would give me a bigger chunk of eggplant cuz I just LOVE that stuff!!! It is a very tasty a little spicy dish!!",
"After seeing Jenn's review of R-7 GInger Fish - I had to try it - & FABULOUS!!! very nice & light & crispy mmmmmm!!! yummy!!"

"I'll definitely be back here again. Very trendy bowling alley, laser tag complex, arcade, restaurant, bar, & frozen yogurt shop! There's something for everyone here!",
"Tonight was dinner at Edison's and we have visited there several times before for food and drink. I had the fish tacos and salad with margarita dressing and a generous pour of chardonnay.My side dish was green beans and they were awesome. I think this is my favorite here. It has such a nice bar area and a lovely restaurant. I hope people will come to see what a cool place it is. We went upstairs and enjoyed watching the peeps playing laser tag. They have several party rooms for groups to enjoy and now with fall approaching they have a great outdoor patio with a fire place! A few weeks ago we also visited their soft serve ice cream store. It was delicious and the shop is so fun! We are planning to try out the Tuesday night special for bowling!",
"Great birthday parties! Edison's calls the party helper a conductor and Courtney was outstanding! We have four children and have done our share of birthday parties. Edison's takes the extra step, no help needed from the parents. They even write down who gave what on the presents. \n The place is very clean and the boys did not want to leave. They have a little bit of something for everyone!",
"This mainly concerns the restaurant although our sons did visit the arcade; half price since we had purchased dinner there.\nThere were several minor snafus and a few things that were \"off\" on the food but overall the service was very good and the food was good with generous portions. In fact we started with 4 and 2 later joined us. But we had so much food left that the 2 who joined us ate our \"left-overs (untouched) and had plenty.\nThe appetizer plate was a good suggestion and had some pretty decent food and there was plenty for all. 3 of us had ordered the black bean burgers but unfortunately they were out. So we switched to fish tacos. Good, and the fish was of a type that had a strong fish taste so you knew that your protein was the real deal. The quesadillas were good but a bit salty. Sweet potato fries were good as were the salads. Do you like macaroni and cheese? Well, here they serve Cheese and Macaroni (not a typo); I've never had so much cheese in this dish. At first I thought they had brought out a bowl of queso dip in which a few pieces of pasta had fallen!\nIf you are hungry, head to this place and you'll get your moneys worth. And, you can bowl if you feel well enough to waddle over to the lanes after eating.",
"Very beautiful interior! Definitely a welcoming place. However, when I went there was hardly anyone there (maybe because it was late). Anyway, I didn't bowl or anything but the food at the bar was REALLY good. Gaming is set up like Dave & Busters where you use a card",
"I do not think I would return here unless it was just for the games. We came on a Sunday night, and the service was very much lacking. We were one of only 3 tables and there were 2 different servers so you would think it could have been better. The server to start did not let us know of any specials, we had to ask. He took our order, and we ordered two apps for the table. Two people (of 8) ordered some apps as their meal, and they came out with the others. The appetizer platter was lacking tremendously. It was nothing but a pile of grease. The dip (roasted red pepper and feta was actually really good). Next came out the salad by itself that someone ordered for their meal. She was eating while everyone else was looking at her. We also still had no napkins or anything to eat our food with. I got up to grab it and the other server (not ours) made a comment \"I could just roll my own if I needed it that bad\" (I guess the three that I could find were part of his side work for the night). When the food came out, the order was wrong (only small details). Two people had the wrong fries and some one got grilled onions instead of grilled mushrooms for their burger (BIG DIFFERENCE). We asked for ketchup and the server said, \"it's on the table.\" Only, it wasn't. I had to look at 5 tables before I could find a bottle of ketchup that even had any in it. After we had finished eating we went to partake in the games. We asked the server what time they closed because we did not want to over stay our welcome. He said they closed at 9 (it was 8:45 at this point). We were just going to go instead of play games, and he said oh don't worry we won't kick you out. We just don't let anyone new in. We took that as a green light. We all went over to load up the swipe cards to play the games and at 9pm on the nose every game turned off. Needless to say I have to go back because I still have $15 worth of games to played, and it will not be by choice.",
"Great place. Good drinks, good food, and my son loves it. They do a great job on putting together the birthday parties. We just had my sons party there and every one including the parents had a great time. if you need to book a party this is the place to do it. Ask for chad he will get it right the first time with no worries, and tell him Larry from Broadway Ford sent you.",
"We had passed Edison's many times and were curious. We frequent Dave and Busters and love it. Well... this is no Dave and Busters, they have barely any games, it's really just a bowling alley. And the service was AWFUL!!! The manager Chris was so lazy, the poor worker had 5 people deep and he walked around looking at her and getting himself a soda, playing on the computer, then standing next to her while she took care of everyone. I will NOT be returning! Save your money for Dave and Busters.",
"Visited on a Sunday, barely anything for kids to do unless you want to bowl. Save money for other entertainment places. Service was bad and couldn't find employees anywhere. This is not an entertainment complex but a large bowling alley. Food was cold and when we mentioned this to server we were told \"sorry\" nothing else. VERY disappointed and will not be returning.",
"I had some friends in town for the weekend and we went to Edison's to hang out on the patio. It just so happened to be my friends birthday that night. When he asked if they had any birthday specials he about fell out of his chair when the server told him he got a free steak dinner! Definitely one of the cooler places in Edwardsville to hang out with friends and an awesome birthday steak special. I would highly recommend Edison's for lunch, dinner, and for having fun with your kids!"

"WOW!!! This place is amazing..the name is because the final step in salad making is to CHOP all the ingredients together. They have everything green available (except dandelions! Lol)\nThe choices range from seasoning through veggies, past fruits and nuts to meats and cheeses.\nCarryout or eating. App available to have quick pickup. Parking and access is acceptable.\nWe were in on the training day and the staff was working hard to please. \nThis so solves those nights I want a fresh salad at home with a glass of wine. This will become a go-to spot.",
"Where do I begin! After driving by and waiting for Chopt to open for months, I finally got to eat one of their delicious salads last week! I was immediately impressed as I walked in by the gorgeous, bright, and clean interior. I was greeted by a staff member who graciously explained how to order. You can choose from one of their preset salad or wrap options or build your own. The cool part is they change out the preset options every 2 months, so you don't have to worry about getting bored! \n\nI opted to build my own. You get a choice of salad type (they have many options - romaine, kale, arugula, a house blend, etc) and 4 toppings, proteins excluded, for $8.99. My one complaint is the pricing of the build your own. They have MANY toppings, so 4 is sort of limited, and the proteins are around $2.99 each to add. So by the time I built my salad and added chicken and avocado, my total was $14. I opted for romaine, grilled chicken, avocado, fried onions, blackened onions, olive medley, feta and corn. \n\nOnce you order and pay, they move you to the chopping area, and that's when the fun begins! You get your choice of about 15 dressings. I'm a huge sauce and dressing junkie, so I was thrilled about this! I was having trouble deciding so one of the choppers let me sample a few, which was a nice touch! I ended up getting the hot honey vinaigrette (a slightly spicy, lemony vinaigrette) and the chipotle dressing. Both were amazing! They dump out your salad, chop everything up, and toss your salad in however much dressing you'd like. They even have bread slices if you want one. \n\nThe salad was AMAZING. Everything was incredibly fresh, bright and bursting with flavor. The restaurant itself is very clean and well designed. Each table had a little bouquet of flowers. The environment itself was incredibly calming! They clearly did an excellent job training everyone. I could not even tell they had only opened two days prior. They also have \"spa waters\" you can drink for free. When I went, the option was cucumber lemon. Their teas and lemonades looked delicious too. They DO have children's options too. I was so impressed with Chopt! I can't wait to go back and try more options. Check this place out for the freshest salads in town!",
"I thought it was very good. Very nice atmosphere and very nice , employees. A very nice addition to Brentwood, TN.",
"Chopt offers fresh salads at a premium price.\n\nOne of the best parts about this place is that you can build your own salad with whatever you want included. However, upon arriving and seeing the \"destination salads\" I knew I had to try the Saigon Chicken Banh Mi. \n\nI was extremely happy with my decision as this salad was a perfect match with my taste buds. My favorite part was the spicy green sriracha. I have never had dressing that unique and it was so good.\n\nMy experience was slightly different then if you build your own but one thing I found odd was the way they chop your salad after you pay. In fairness this location has only been open for about a week and a half and it was super crowded but once I ordered it was chaotic figuring out where I needed to go in order for them give it to me. They told me to walk down the line but there were several other people standing around and nobody was sure where to stand. It wasn't a huge deal but it seemed like there is a better way to design it where it's a smoother transition from paying to receiving your food. The problem is you don't simply pick up your food you have to stand and recommend how chopped you want your salad and how much dressing you want among other things. This causes a logjam for those ordering food and those waiting to order. \n\nThe food is incredibly fresh and the portions are generous. Some people will be turned off by paying this much for a salad but to me it is well worth it because of the quality.",
"Dining in may be good, but catering/delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Not only was my protein wrong, and I blue cheese was pretty much non existent...... lettuce and avocado were just gross. The little white spots on the pic.... my blue cheese. The salad dressing was good.\n\nIt seems that of our group of about 40, none of us were impressed with out lunch. Good thing we have a candy jar at work as most all of the salads ended up in the trash.",
"For heavens sake guys, simplify this process. I consider myself pretty up on restaurants, trends, etc. but this place was such a disappointment. \n\nI was really exited to try this place. \n\nFirst off the lady taking your order was trying to get ahead of herself and was screaming down the long line of folks waiting asking what they wanted to order. She needs to wait until you get closer to the counter. \n\nI ordered a seasonal salad so that it would be simple. She sends me to a different line to pay and I learn they don't take cash. No problem. I pay. Then I have to move back up the line to see if I want my salad chopped. That's great but shouldn't this all be done in order. I waited for my salad and stood beside numerous guest saying exactly what I was thinking. \" this place is so disorganized.\" Finally I got the salad and sat down. Only to hear everyone around me complaining. Come on guys. You can do better. I want be back anytime soon.",
"Not the best salad place I have visited. Not very friendly, food is nothing special. Very limited lettuce and dressings. No Honey Mustard variation of any kind. Amazing! No iceberg lettuce. Did like the actual chopping of my salad. I love chopped salads and they chop well. Teas were good.",
"Delicious salads, and while a little noisy when there is a line, it moved quickly and was not unorganized like one other review said. I got the Harvest and my husband got the Meddeterainian. Both very tasty and the portion is large. You also get a complementary slice of grain bread. We have recently adopted a vegetarian diet, so we will be coming back!",
"With Brentwood's lack of fresh and healthy places to eat, Chopt stood out to me. I've been here 3 times and each time it gets better. They are definitely working out some kinks as does any business that just opened up. The people leaving 1 star reviews over something the employees have no control over is ridiculous. So it's a little disorganized, who cares lol. You still got your food and it tastes amazing. Very well done.",
"At least I don't have to go to NYC or DC to get a good salad, but Nashville TN is still a long journey from home. I LOVE CHOPT period. It's been a couple years since I had a chopt salad and my fave - kebab cobb - is still super delicious and maybe slightly better than before. It used to come with onions, now it comes with charred onions sweetening the flavor. I sub tofu in for chicken, and love that you can swap dressings and proteins.\n\nI don't recall soup from a couple years ago and tried the curried red lentil, and it was tasty. They have a small assortment of sides and desserts, but the salads reign here.\n\nThere are several creations they have invented with corresponding proteins and suggested dressings, which I tend to love to try out. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. However, you can also create your own and choose your toppings, which is fairly easy, similar to any casual quick place where you can pick your toppings as you walk through the line. Each salad can also be converted into a wrap on their yummy whole wheat flatbread.\n\nI LOVE that there is a restaurant making salads that can actually satisfy as a full meal!\nI LOVE that they chop up the ingredients by default, so it's not just a clever name. All salads are chopped!\nI LOVE the flatbread they use to make the wraps, and my previous chopt experience, this is the side bread they provide with the salad. However, this newer location has a more traditional bread as the default option. Since I wont be able to return for a while, I requested to sub the bread for a piece of the flatbread and they were kind enough to oblige. \n\nMy visit to chopt put me in pure salad bliss!"

"Amazing Oxtail and Garlic Shrimp! Clean BYOB sit down Jamaican Restaurant. The waitress was very friendly, she was helpful with the suggestions. I had the Garlic Shrimp and my sister had the oxtail and \nplantains. Everything was hot and tasty! I will be back again soon!",
"When ever I am in Cherry Hill new Jersey.I look forward to going to my favorite Jamaican spot. The food and service is always wonderful. If ever you guys are in Cherry Hill go experience the wonders of Jamaican best food in New Jersey. My kids love it and I love",
"First of all I finally found a restaurant that offers best of both worlds.Amazing food and Great Service.I had Jerk chicken with rice and beans The Chicken was very tasty delicious perfectly cooked Everything was just amazing very nice atmosphere to dine in.Thanks for bringing good food and Quality service to my neighborhood.",
"Best beef patties in town! Where my hometown is there is a lot of Jamaican establishments and I can tell you that I miss them dearly. Coming to NJ, I was in search of an establishment that would be like back home...and I found it in Trappixx. The hostess in the front is nice and they do GrubHub and they do take out, if you don't want to sit down. The food is always hot and the beef patties are always fresh!",
"Great Jamaican food that everyone should check out for sure. I ordered a jerk chicken platter and beef patties. Delicious and hot.",
"Went here several weeks ago and loved everything. Fast friendly service. The beef patties and jerk chicken were excellent. We haven't had Jamaican food this good since the last time we were in negril. Will go back again soon .",
"I just visited the area again and had been informed this business had been sold however, I'm very disappointed with the product I received. I ordered a lunch special and I'll just put the picture to suffice how I felt as well. I paid $8 for a lunch platter which would be a small else where and an appropriate size (Not a 6inch hoagie container). Two giant scoops of rice and just \"dollops\" of \"sides\" to accompany the \"dollop\" of curried goat. Oh, and also one plantain on top. Maybe for garnish :/ \nThe yellow rice was dry but good flavor, the other white/pink one just dry and no flavor to it at all, the cabbage undercooked and the curried goat (which was the main dish) was great. I want to give two stars but I can not get over the one plantain and the beyond inadequate side portions. If I sat down at a table and they served this to me, j would return it and leave.",
"I am in town on business for a week and ended up eating here three out of five days. If you'd asked last week what my favorite meal was I would've thought it was my mom's shepherds pie, or civiche. I now know it is oxtail butterbean stew. I feel like I've wasted years of my life not eating here. The food is amazing, the staff is attentive. The only downside is all beverages are by the bottle or can, not enough to knock out a star when everything else is top notch. Hope to be sent out this direction again soon.",
"Terrible service. My mother and I got the same exact order and she was charged two dollars more. The waitress danced around our questions before pointing to the bottom of the menu to say prices are subject to change. No wonder they changed their name, probably from all the bad reviews they received prior.",
"I ordered via Grubhub. Had an issue with my order getting cancelled because they did not have ONE of the items I ordered so they cancelled my entire order after waiting an hour. After an hour I call and I'm told my order is ready they are just waiting on Grubhub driver. 5 mins later I get a text message it was cancelled. So I had to reorder and wait another hour. By the time I got my food my shift was pretty much over.... \nNow to the food. I ordered the Jerk chicken. It wasn't bad but it was dry. It needed some sauce. I have yet to find a good Caribbean restaurant in south jersey that offers sauce on top of their jerk food options. In north jersey it's automatic. The rice was a little hard but was seasoned well. The cabbage was good and flavorful."

"Just opened up and this is the first time we ordered take out from there. Food was great, people were super nice. I went with the Chicken Biryani and my lady went with Curry Chicken over rice. Very happy with the new local spot, we wish them well. We will get something new next time to try more of the menu.",
"tried out the new spot - great flavor, attentive service. Menu is pretty extensive. Will definitely be going back, and ordering takeout.",
"So happy to have this in my neighborhood! We ordered lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, and papadum for take away and were really pleased with the whole experience from the nice guy at the counter to the food quickly being ready. The recipe they use for the masala sauce was a little different from and better than the typical one I've had at countless places in different cities over the years. The chicken was super tender. That dish was the star of the meal. The lamb wasn't quite as tender as I expected (though not tough by any means) and the vindaloo was tasty and satisfying. The papadam wasn't quite crisp enough given that it was still warm and clearly freshly made but still addictive. Overall I'd say 4.5 stars. Will definitely be back many times and look forward to exploring the menu.",
"Great halal Indian option right in my 'hood. Service was excellent and food was delish. We ordered the lamb boti kebab and chicken biryani. Both were so good and super flavorful. I love bread and we ordered the garlic naan, lamb naan, and the poori. I wasnt impressesd with the lamb naan it was devoured none the less. The poori was AMAZING! The veg samosas were also tasty. Will definitely be back. \n\nPro tip: If ordering takeout, make sure to call ahead. We just stopped by on the way home and ordered there so it took 30 min for food to be prepared. Everything is made from scratch so it was well worth it. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and offered us drinks while we waited.",
"Just got takeout and everything was amazing. All the proteins are cooked perfect and the sauces had a great balance of flavor.",
"Great food! And great service. Everything was delicious. I recommend it 100% Definitely we will comeback again.",
"Delicious Indian food! Everything we ordered was so delicious and freshly made. Potato samosa (the green sauce !!!!!) for appetizer and the meals were Chicken biryani and 2 vegetarian dishes. So glad we found this gem in Philly! We will be back here during our next visit for sure ! Staff is super friendly too!",
"Thoroughly enjoyed it! Chicken biriyani had boneless meat which is always nice. Spice level was just above mild. Chicken tikka masala had a nice warm flavor. The garlic naan was just ok -- didn't taste fresh. But if you dunk it in sauce, it's just fine!",
"So happy this is here! Great addition to the neighborhood with great food. I do wish the food was spicier but it is still wonderful. Very nice people too!",
"The food was Excellent, especially Tika Massla! Outstanding selection and choices. Restaurant is not large but several tables available. \nIt tasted as good as the food I had in India and England."

"Popped in on a Wednesday right after North 53 opened its doors. Without reservations, we found room at the bar. The decor is a mix of silver, black and wood (teak tables?), very polished and chic. The chairs at the bar added reflective light, but weren't particularly comfortable.\n\nThe food is small, very well executed inventive combinations. I tried the lamb tartar, purple potatoes and apple donut. These descriptions do not do any justice to what I enjoyed. The highlight for me was dessert, which included a small apple fritter, lemon curd roll dotted with small crisped chips of something I can't recall and a lemon sorbet nested on crisped tapioca. Every dish was an adventure of taste and texture combinations. I can't wait to go back.\n\nGet reservations, it was shockingly busy for a Wednesday night. I hope that the very young owner and chef (both are 21) enjoy great success with this remarkable endeavour which celebrates Canadian cuisine.",
"Let me preface this with that I frequent many fine dining establishments here and in the U.S. and I have never had a problem with what they decide to set for pricing. I am also a small business owner and can appreciate the economic challenges of opening and operating a business. \n\nMy husband and I were excited to have dinner here recently (Jan 25th). I had read a lot about the young chef and owner and love the farm to table concept. \n\nMy main issue has to do with service. As previous readers have mentioned, we were only offered the tasting menu as well. My husband inquired if there was an a la cart menu and he were actually met with a bit of resistance and were told the chef prefers the tasting menu as it tells the full story. We never were given or told yes there is an a la carte option. During dinner, we saw a few people with different items that we did not see on the tasting menu. When we inquired, the server told us that it was the vegetarian option which we didn't know was available. At the end of the meal she mentioned when we come back we can try the a la carte option as she could see we were confused by the whole process! This was truly disappointing. My husband, in particular, does not like a person to tell him what to eat. He likes the option to choose and the fact that we weren't given that was disappointing.\n\nIn addition, for wine she tried to push us toward a bottle when we just wanted to a glass as we were driving right afterward. I understand why ($$), but it does come off a bit pushy and makes me question the server's suggestions during the meal.\n\nThe food was good (the coffee, which was part of the tasting menu, was amazing!) but not worth $280 (tip included) for what we received. We ended up eating at another establishment afterward as my husband was still hungry.",
"Let me start off by stating that I rarely share my thoughts and or opinions on restaurants or any other establishment unless I feel truly compelled. I am in Edmonton this week on business (from Toronto) and some colleagues suggested we try North 53 ...we have North 44 in Toronto so I figured this was just a few degrees higher...\n\nThe four of us decided to go with the taster menu...yes it is pricey ..on the surface...but it was quite possibly the best dining experience I have ever had. \n\nI dont think I can put into words how fantastic the entire experience was from start to finish. The cocktails, the creative food combinations, the fact that they focus entirely on sustainable and local fare...and the cherry on top was the incredible wait staff and service. Christof our server added such an element of refined excitement to every course...meticulously explaining the ingredients and the wine pairings. Often times staff will come across as pretentious and carry an air of superiority that of course can ruin your experience...Christof was the exact opposite. We enjoyed the food more as a result of his efforts. I will tell everyone I meet for the next few weeks how amazing North 53 is. \n\nIf you are interested in adventurous and carefully planned fine dining with a truly Canadian skew please visit this restaurant...put your trust in their expertise and take a leap...you will not be disappointed.\n\nThank you North 53 for a great evening,...this is the best I can do to repay you for such a memorable and remarkable dining experience...until next time.",
"Everything about our visit was perfect! The hostess and host took our coats when we came in and seated us immediately - we had made reservations online. Our server was prompt in taking care of us but she was never intrusive. She took the time to explain all the dishes she brought to us and quickly brought us anything we needed. \n\nWe had the tasting menu and the pace of the dishes was just right. In fact it was pretty speedy. I needed to use the bathroom at some point but I was scared to go because I thought I might miss something! My water glass was never empty once! I drink a lot of water and the glasses are probably 8 oz or less. \n\nThe lamb tartare was the best thing I've eaten in YEG ever. Go there just for the lamb tartare!\n\nOther memorable bites include the salmon amuse bouche, which I don't know the name of but it was super tasty. The wid boar gemelli just kept gettibf better abs better with each bite. The aerated potatoes were lovely but I suspect the aerating process makes them cooler than I would normally like. The sauce on the plate and the au jus on the rib eye were so well paired, like a symphony of delicious in my mouth. The beet meringues on the beer salad were so delightful, I wanted more. There was an apple palate cleanser at some point which I absolutely adored. I think it was apple custard, apple chips and raisins. Before our dessert course, we were given a balsamic vinegar palate cleanser which was unusual but just right. \n\nMy only disappointment was not having a choice in dessert selections as I would have chosen the apple dessert. Instead we were presented with the winter squash dessert since that was all that was available. Kombucha custard, butternut squash ice cream, wild thorn brush and syrup were all good but not my thing. \n\nWe had some cocktails too and I recommend the calvados flights. Tasty choices there. \n\nEdmonton really needed a place like this. I felt like we were in a cool restaurant in Chicago or Boston. It reminded me of my favourite restaurant at MIT in Boston. The room is beautifully decorated with outstanding service and food to match. The plates are all so beautifully arranged and presented and the potion sizes are generous for a tasting menu. Great value.",
"Tonight was my first time at North 53 and I was really excited to try it. Unfortunately it didn't totally live up to my, or my three friends', expectations. I will not even try to go into detail about the food because there was so much going on, not in a bad way though.\n\nWe decided, that since the plates are designed as smaller tastings, that we would order one of almost everything on the menu and share between the four of us. I will not even try to go into detail about the food as there is way too much to remember and my description would not do the food justice. Each plate was visually stunning and very creative. However, what it comes down to is the taste. A number of the plates were under-seasoned (lack of salt) and the soup was luke warm. \n\nThe highlights of the meal were the beet salad and the boar. Items that didn't impress were the mushroom broth and the chicken.\n\nI really appreciate the approach to locally grown food and having passion for food. I just wish there had been more consistency.",
"Came by after a late dinner for cocktails.\n\nSat at the bar and played \" what should i drink next\" with the staff, cocktails perfectly executed and I am stoked to see another spot in Edmonton that cares about cocktails. \n\nWill definitely be back to try their food menu. Exceptional staff and even got to shut the place down with the owners over a bowl of popcorn.",
"great atmosphere as well as amazing food. small portion sizes but just enough too order more than one thing and leave satisfied. between the two of us we order 6 dishes, i was amazed with how everything turned out. love the edgy and hipster vibe! id recommend this place too all my firends",
"Food outstanding. Wine pairing amazing. The meal was a journey. Couple of things. 1. Bison, by its nature a bit dry. Could've used a Demi glacé or something like that.\n2. What's with the bartender buddies in the hoodies and ball caps? So not part of a close to $300 dinner and wine pairing. Maybe they should be going to On The Rocks where you would usually find this ilk. This place would be way better without the wanna be Eminems. It takes from the sophistication in a big time way.",
"Featuring only Canadian ingredients (over 90% of which are sourced in Alberta and BC), the now 11 week old addition to Edmonton's growing 124 St was not far down on my list to eat. Our reservation was for 7pm last Saturday and when we arrived, it was surprisingly not fully seated! A long bar counter actually allows diners to show up without reservations, something I wish I would have known earlier. Large windows made it feel quite open and as the night went on, the dark interior gave it a very trendy atmosphere.\n\nTo start, I had my mind set on a Caesar, a truly Canadian drink. I didn't even bother to look at the drinks menu (whoops!) and when I ordered, our server Chris kindly told me they had removed it from the menu. Aperol Spritz then? North 53′s mixologist Brendan Brewster (formerly Woodwork, Manor Bistro), happily accommodated my off menu request. \n\nJoe and I decided to order off the a la carte versus the $85 tasting meu (lowered from the original opening $100), although many tables were doing so. There's just something about being able to choose what to eat!\n\nThe \"Various Beets\" has been on the menu for some time now and that's always a sign that it's a winner. Indeed it was. Beets sourced from Riverbend Gardens, done in a multitude of ways: sorbet, pickled, and dehydrated meringue; layered with a goat's cheese mousse, red wine vinaigrette, candied walnuts, and nasturtium (a watercress-like leaf with a peppery taste). Best presentation ever. And incredibly delicious! The beet meringue was the most intriguing, dehydrated to the point that upon contact with moisture (your mouth), it almost dissolved into a burst of beet flavor. What just happened there?!\n\nWhile I was pondering away on the use of a dehydrator, Joe was trying the duck rillette, which he chose from the menu. Similar to a pate, the Fourwhistle Farm's duck was cooked until tender, shredded and formed, topped with pieces of smoked duck breast, and cherry gelee. Gastriqued cherries along with a cherry and hazelnut puree decorated the rest of the plate. Joe loved the gastriqued cherries and both of us enjoyed the smoked duck breast. More of that, please!\n\nSauteed carrots came on top of pearl barley risotto, finished with the Cheesiry's pecorino stock, freshly shaved perocrino, and watercress. Sprinkled over top was a dehydrated brown butter powder, giving the dish another layer of seasoning.\n\nThe black cod, sourced from Vancouver Island, was done to perfection and supremely moist. Little neck clams and a clam froth were mixed in with the butternut squash puree and roasted butternut squash, although a different server (not Chris) said they were oysters when he brought it out. I really enjoyed this dish and it's because of dishes like these that I'm always keen on ordering a fish entree instead of another protein. I won't know how it compares to the wild boar or milk fed veal sirloin tip until my next visit!\n\nI have learnt that two desserts will always make me happier than one and seeing that we were both 80% full, why not. Chris highly recommended the sunchoke ice cream. This dish is definitely not to be missed! Aside from the creative use of sunchoke, it was placed on a thyme sponge, layered with balsamic vinegar curd and more of the brown butter powder, this time with black malt. The ice cream was very well done, smooth, no crystals of ice and had such a pleasant flavor. The thyme sponge had a... spongey texture. Honestly one of the most interesting things to eat, next to the beet meringue we had earlier. Really starting to wonder what kind of dehydrator they're using back there!\n\nOur second dessert was the wild blueberry sorbet, accompanying a goat's milk panna cotta. On the bottom were dried blueberries, roasted rolled oats, and a blueberry tuile to anchor the dish. All components were gorgeous, and overall the dish was very unsweetened, which can be a nice way to end a meal. The tarragon granite might not be for all, especially if you do not enjoy licorice! I didn't even know tarragon had that natural taste, it's always mixed in with other herbs when I've had it.\n\nOverall, the meal was one of the best that I've ever had. Points all around for presentation, creativity, and taste! It's like an episode on the Food Network. Not only that, the service was excellent and the kitchen was timely with our plates. Chris was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and its ingredients. I had read from some diners that the atmosphere was quite formal, but not so when we went. Quite relaxed in my opinion but they may have eased up, much like the cost of the plates.",
"I've heard nothing but glowing reviews for North 53. High Street is quickly becoming the place to go for food based on the concentration of variety of options. I recently learned the cocktails in YEG is the name of the game and apparently North 53 had snagged an extremely talented drink doctor. Yes, I'm coining this term, drink doctor.\n\nWe decided to stop by for late night drinks after hearing and seeing this place as we drive around town. I must say, the large floor to ceiling windows was a nice touch. I felt people usually go to get their tappas and cocktails at night and what better view than the dark streets of 124 lit up by the unique character of the shops around.\nThe name of the place was North 53 and were very proud to be Canadian. Unlike the images of lumber and the great white north, the décor was very chique, very New York. Leather pleated benches upon blacked-out sun-ray ceilings and a modern designed bar made me scratch my head a little. It didn't feel Canadian especially with the chill out euro ambient music spinning in the back. Don't get me wrong, I do not want hipster Canadian folk music but I think it's the name of the place and what they're trying to establish is confusing me. I like the décor. I just don't know if it's a good pairing?\n\nThe service was quite friendly and every person we spoke to was quite informative. For an establishment that prides itself on ingredients, they were not shy in going into detail of what makes them unique. They explained every dish that came out as well as their cocktails and noted that the a la carte items were sampling dishes.\n\nMy date had the black cod while I had a dessert which I don't quite remember the name of. The cod itself was buttery smooth and the flavor and essence of the oysters were quite profound. Her cocktail was off menu and I don't know the name of it. I can't honestly describe it. I've struggled thinking about the whole dining experience. I believe my pallette and culinary skillset isn't sophisticated enough to fully appreciate and describe the experience. It had basil and sriracha. Interesting indeed.\nMy dessert was likee eating soft cake with fried chips, velvety smooth ice cream and sour jelly. It was quite honestly very busy but once again, the ability to describe the flavors is beyond my comprehension.\nFor cocktails, our server surprised me with an Old Fashioned. Something I noticed on their cocktail menu was it's heavily influenced on gin which we learned is a preferred choice of liquor for drink doctors. The cocktail glass was smoked and lined with an orange syrup and the rest went over my head. Although I am not a gin person, I do appreciate how smooth it was. Everytime I brought the glass up for a sip, the fumes literally brought me back to camping. \n\nI believe North 53 is a wonderful place for lounging and appreciating the art of cocktails and innovative creation. I just don't think I am well versed with what my tongue is telling me to fully give North 53 the slow clap it deserves."

"The Filipiniana Philippine Café just had their soft opening yesterday and I couldn't have been more excited. It's great to see Filipino businesses opening around town like the PAO Truck, it makes the wait for PhilFest easier to bare and its fun having new exotic things to try. \n\nThe cafe sells bubble tea (boba), Halo-Halo (Filipino shaved ice drinks), Filipino coffee, Filipino baked goods, smoothies, and more. Things on the menu are fairly prices and the cafe itself has a modern feel to it. \n\nI enjoyed a Halo-Halo Supreme yesterday ($5) and it was excellent. All the ingredients tasted fresh and my Filipino friends were definitely enjoying it as well (and coaching me on tips for mixing everything together for the best flavor). The Halo-Halo has flan in it which is awesome and shows the roots of Filipino cuisine in Spain. \n\nWe also tried the Ensaymada Ube Bread (~$3) which was excellent. It is a baked dessert that is stuffed with Ube (purple yam) which is perfectly sweetened. The bread itself was soft and enjoyable and could also pair well with some coffee. \n\nThe location is next to the original Saigon Deli on Waters and Dale Mabry behind the La Quinta hotel. It's hidden from the road so you should look for the Saigon Deli sign. \n\nI'm excited for all these new businesses in Tampa and look forward to spending lots of time hanging out and enjoy Filipino sweets at the Filipiniana Philippine Café.",
"a little disappointed with this place. the drinks aren't made with fresh fruit. they mainly use powder and syrups. that being said, the tea I got tasted fine and the boba was the right texture. it would be nice if they sold other food besides bakery goods. i think that's a missed opportunity for them since there aren't any Filipino restaurants in Tampa (aside from PAO truck). the prices are good for the drinks, however, some of the bakery items are a little overpriced.",
"I was excited to find out about this establishment but was disappointed when I visited. They only offer pastries and some selections of drinks (from coffee to smoothies). I ordered a smoothie and as the other reviewer posted, they use flavored syrups.\nIf you want a smoothie, go to the Viet place a few doors down.",
"At Filipiniana, they have the best Halo Halo I have ever eaten.\n\nSince the location is brand spankin' new, the space is immaculate and has a Halo Halo theme. The walls are brightly colored. In the back seating area, the walls are dark purple imitating ube extract coloring, often the color of ube ice cream or cake. The pictures on the walls are of different toppings used in Halo Halo. The staff is super sweet and asked me over and over again, \"How do you know about Halo Halo?\" \n\nFilipiniana also serves coffee, smoothies, and bubble tea. I love bubble tea, and tried the Green Apple Tea with Tapioca. It was fine, but not my favorite bubble tea in Tampa. \n\nThe pastry case varies daily. Luckily, when we visited there were large slices of Ube Cake in the case, the deep violet hue of the sponge cake and the soft fluffy princess frosting stark against the purple palette calling my name. This Ube Cake is spectacular, and I ate it slowly as I watched crowds of customers arrive from the restaurant next door to quickly buy up the supply.\n\nI'm really excited that they serve Taho, tofu custard in browned sugar sauce. Sometimes flavored with ginger in the syrup, and often served with sago (white tapioca) pearls. Next time, I'll definitely check it out, because it is my favorite served the Chinese way at the local dim sum place.\n\nIt is great that they are a dessert only shop, but we are definitely missing some decent Filipino savory foods in the bay area.\n\nVideo:\nhttp://youtu.be/so1UlHAB_Ys",
"I like this new place, it is modern and colorful, have a wide variety of interesting drinks that I can't wait to try. After the recommendation of Carlos on yelp, I tried the Halo Halo and it was simply fantastic and refreshing! I am going back soon for the Boba tea which I originally came for.",
"I was disappointed to find that this was basically a bakery that serves up some halo halo and smoothies. I was REALLY hoping to finally find a place that serves up lumpia, chicken adobo and the like, but this place wouldn't be the answer to my dreams. I'll leave it at a 3 star for originality, and supplying my fellow Tampons with something new, but that's as far as I'll go.",
"I get that some of you Yelpers are disappointed that Filipiniana doesn't serve Filipino FOOD, just some bakery items. However, I think it's unfair to dock them stars for something that they are not even trying to advertise. It's not like they said they're going to sell you adobo and pancit and lechon. It's like reviewing a smoothie place for not selling steak.\n\nAnyway, for what they DO serve, I think it's great. Where else can you find halo-halo?! I'm not even a big fan of halo-halo, but I took a bite of one and wanted my own. It's a really large serving, too. The boba is okay, not my favorite though.\n\nThe atmosphere is fun and colorful and clean, making it a good place to sit down for a little.",
"I've been led astray! I shouldn't review this place because I don't care for bakeries and came here to throw down on some Lumpia, but... Couldya wouldya please include a BAKERY hint in your name rather than Café? When you use the word Café all of a sudden American's think you have food, and actual meals. I'll give it another shot when I'm in the mood to gnaw on a chunk of bread or pastry-never.",
"Needless to say I was just excited period to see a Filipino bakery. Forget that they don't have food. They have halo halo !!!!! That just sums up this review. The halo halo was delightful... From the ube to the flan to the crispy rice on top ..\nIt's $4.99 for a good sized halo halo. It's good enough for two people to share ..if you wanna share . It's perfect for a hot Tampa day . \nThis place has other baked goods but I wish they would expand to maybe pan de sal? \nI love me some pan de sal ..\nThe staff was very friendly and inside was clean. I love how all the flips were there today gathering for some halo halo. \nI shall be back !",
"5 stars for their halo-halo! It is seriously delicious. 3-4 stars for their boba tea that is made with syrup, I'm just not a fan of that syrupy taste. I am not sure if they are all made that way, though. I only had the coconut.\n\nTry the ube cake, it is so good! \n\nFor all the people complaining about how they don't actually serve food. The owner told my Mom in tagalog that they are waiting on their hot food licenses. So apparently they plan on serving hot food eventually. Just thought I'd throw that out there as people seem to be disappointed!"
