"Okay... SO... This is now what used to be Pizza Fusion. I am giving three stars because I wasn't all too thrilled about my to-go order that I had placed. The salads are very small, not what you would imagine for paging $7-$9 for a salad. My coworkers were very disappointed to see that their salad was half the size they imagined. I will say my chicken pesto wrap was good. The pizza list looks very yummy, and I do plan on ordering one sometime in the future.",
"Ordered a BOGO with cheese bread. Let me tell ya. never again. For the price we spent $40 you get next to nothing. Pizza is small and flimsy, bread cheesy sticks are so small it comes out to like have 4 slices if they didnt cut it so thin. The pizza is so thin and i ordered hand toss. I am glad I did not get thin crust. It might of been a cracker. Pizza itself tastes ok, nothing to die for and nothing to go back to. There are a few times i say business's should fall, and this is one of those times. \n\nI dont wanna hear things like westchase is a prestige place to live so that is why prices are high. Cause that is a crock of bull. There are plenty of pizzerias here that top it off and are waaaaay cheaper and use good ingredients. \n\nThis is an honest review from someone who likes food, this pizza place should close down or change their pizzas overnite. They just lost business of 9 people. For westchase, the news will spread to their friends. None of us are happy. Marco's was a great pizzeria, next to try is famous pizza. We will see!",
"Hands down, the BEST pizza I've had in a long time! Both locations are consistently good. Great salads, too!",
"Delicious & fresh! I had their garlic wings and meat lovers pizza. The pizza was the best that I have had in a while, very light and tasty. I will definitely be back.\nMy husband and I came for lunch and it very fast and friendly service.",
"The pizza and wings were delicious but the dining experience was horrible. By the way our server was, I'm assuming it's her first day? She never came by to ask if we needed anything. Never refilled our water. Her back was turned away majority of the time because she was busy talking to the other server. I'm fine if you talking to your co worker but at least turn around and look at your customers. I even had to bring up the check to her. I don't care how good the pizza was, there will be other pizza pallors with better service.",
"They try to make themselves outstanding by making the square pizza, however, i do not think that idea works. The pizza became cold and soggy after we finished the first piece. And they even charged us $.50 for a small cup of ketchup. I wonder since when the ketchup became that precious and expensive.\nIt was my first time there and definitely my last time.",
"Had a coupon being new to the neighborhood. Came in for a late Friday lunch. Had the thin crust special. Pizza was done just right. Service was excellent. Even offered us an iced tea to go.\n\nGreat pizza. Great service. What more could you want?",
"Came in only because of a Groupon deal. Place was about half full but had to wait for a table to be cleared and cleaned. Waitress was just ok not great she kept my drink full but was at the table too much, we just want to eat and be left alone for the most part. She just kept coming back needlessly untill we were ready to leave then I had to go find her to get the check.\n\nThe only reason I gave them 3 stars was because the pizzas were pretty good. We ordered a thin crust meat lovers and it was delicious. The crust was nice and crispy and it had plenty of meat. We also ordered the spinach and artichoke pizza on the regular crust and it wasn't very flavorful in spite of having whole cloves of roasted garlic on it. \nThe crust could have used another minute or two in the oven as it had no crunch at all. It wasn't raw just slightly underdone in my opinion.\n\nOverall it's a decent pizza place as far as the food goes but the service wasn't great and it was very loud although some of that was due to the screaming children whose parents didn't seem to care to tell them to be quiet. \nI'd order take-out from them but doubt I will ever eat in here again.",
"Great pizza, sort of like craft pizza. Really enjoyed pretty pricey for the value. It's a great place if you want an alternative to mellow mushroom. Great environment, but the price of large just how I like it is a big turnoff.",
"Updating my review: I ordered the sun dried tomato and goat cheese personal pizza with multigrain crust and a house salad with chicken and balsamic vinaigrette dressing to-go from TPC today and I was very satisfied. The salad portion has increased and the pizza was very good. The lady quoted me 45 min wait time but the delivery man showed up sooner than that which was nice. There is a $3 delivery fee which isn't too bad compared to other places."

"A friend and I were in Clearwater for Phillies Spring Training, and, having made the mistake of not staying a) near the beach or b) near the stadium, we found ourselves on a Saturday night searching the interwebs for \"irish pubs\" nearby. Deciding upon Finleys was one of the better decisions we made that vacation. \n\nIt's in a strip mall, which I'm not used to, and threw me off a little. But it appeared to be more a townie-frequented establishment and less populated by tourists than what we'd seen thus far. A solid collection of beers on tap, and some bangin fries. \n\nThe main attraction, though, was the dude in a kilt singing Irish drinking songs (god I wish I remember his name). A fabulous rendition of Old McDonald's and, my personal favorite, Who the F is Alice? We had a fantastic night. I'd highly recommend to anyone in the area - skip the Tilted Kilt - this is the real deal.",
"A co-worker and I decided that St. Patty's Day celebrations were in order last week. We truly stumbled upon this place since our only plan was to drive around to places close to work and see what was going on. Finley's was great! Well, its parking lot was a rockin good time, anyhow. In true Irish Pub form, they go all out for St. Patty's. They had the entire party setup outside, complete with a tent, tables/chairs, a bar, a stage and pub grub food! Cash only (assuming because of the outdoor-only setup).\n\nThe food was delish! We had fish & chips but they had all the other expected Irish fare. Wash it all down with a green beer and Finley's was perfect for a mid-day St. Patty's break in the workday. Convinced I'd have more stars if I make my way back over and actually make my way past the parking lot...",
"I love this place. The staff is really friendly, they have great atmosphere, a large selection of beer, wine and liquors, and the food is great too. Especially the mozzarella sticks. I know its not your typical Irish grub, but they put any Italian restaurant's to shame.\n\nBut don't worry, I spied plenty of traditional fare on the menu as well.",
"Went in on a Sat evening. Five people were sitting at the bar. Two barmaids totally ignored me. I sat there for five minutes with my money on the bar in front of me. They looked like they were completely lost. A party of four walked in, and both girls went right to them to get them seated. While I was wearing a T-shirt, I had on new jeans and didn't look homeless. I also wanted a Bass ale, so it's not like they missed selling a couple Buds. I'll give this place one more shot on a weekday afternoon and see what happpens. From what I could see it appears to be a nice place, they just need to get the service to match the atmosphere.",
"Outstanding Fish & Chips!",
"A nice place to go with friends, hang out and enjoy some music. The people who come to this place count on it as a home away from home. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were huge. The age range is 50+ but it is a great place for anyone.",
"Love this place! Fun friendly staff with awesome food. I had one of the best bloody mary's ever this past sunday afternoon. They have .50 cent wings on Sunday and they were awesome, some of the best i've had. I had the fiver onion soup and it was dynamite. If I don't have to add salt to a dish (I didn't) it makes me happy.\n\nThe owner was on site and we had a great conversation with him. He told us about all of the activities they host, trivia, comedy shows, etc. \n\nWe live close and plan to return frequently and eat our way through the rest of the menu!",
"Finley's is cool, the food is good and the atmosphere is good. It can be dead at times which I think might be due in part to its location in a strip mall. But inside it has the feel of an authentic Irish bar, with maps, flags, the whole bit. WHen it's dead the staff is kind of slow, but where is that not the case? We lived nearby and I thought Finleys was one of the better restaurants in Largo, if not the best located.",
"As promised, we have returned several times and have eaten our way through most of the menu. Not one single dish has disappointed and that's a hard thing to do. \n\nOur favorites remain the buffalo shrimp (these bad boys are FRESH and you can taste it, no frozen pre fab bullshit here) and the fiver onion soup. Possibly the best soup ever! Salads are great, sandwiches are too, the roast beef is really good. The ruben, however remains a stand out. This can easily be split between two people and still result in very full people. Even something so pedesterian as french fries are fantastic here. Attention to detail happens here with every dish that comes out.\n\nI would be remiss if I didn't take the time to mention the fantastic staff. Mark, Megan and Jen are always spot on.\n\nAlcohol, did I forget to mention the drinks? Silly me lol. Wells are $3.75 and ALWAYS two for one. That makes for some mighty fine weekend day drinkin right there! \n\nThank you Finley's for becoming my Cheers!",
"Excellent service, great Irish favorites.\n\nNice sports bar, with Irish flare. Great non chain restaurant. The Shepherds pie was a little too creamy for my liking, but hot and tasty. Perfect French dip.\n\n11 tvs, weeknight entertainment."

"Nothing like feeling welcome from the minute I walked in, wow great customer service. I came early on Sunday morning needing a pizza fix, but I couldn't help myself, I had the lasagna and went with the pepperoni bites. Both were delicious. This place had an open kitchen and I was able to watch my food being cook right before my eyes, the chef where very well organized and clean. My server was knowledgeable about the menu, she recommended the tiramisu, she was right, delicious! I later found out that its hand made by restaurant itself! \nPut this place on your list, don't forget kids because your going to want to try the macaroni and cheese pizza on the children menu, BTW I had to get the meatball calzone to take home just because...",
"This place offers take and bake pizza and dine in- we decided to dine in. The hostess - I'm guessing its the owners wife - didn't stop talking to other customers to seat us. We were going to seat ourselves, and discussed whether or not we should, loud enough that the hostess could hear us, but she still didn't acknowledge us. Once the waitress saw us \"waiting to be seated\" as the sign requested, she then told us we could sit wherever we wanted. We ordered the caprese salad- it's sliced mozzarella and sliced tomatoes, should t take too long to come out, but apparently the hostess is in charge of salads. We had to wait for the hostess to finish talking to her buddies before she made our salad. On to the food- the caprese salad was missing some sort of seasoning, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. This place doesn't offer any type of supreme pizza, you know meats veggies, the works, etc., so we ordered the veggies added pepperoni and sausage. The sausage had a good flavor and everything including the crust was fresh. I did notice that the hostess gave a pizza slicer and magnets to her friends that she talked to, but not us. So if the customer service were better, I probably would have given this a higher score. The price was mediocre - for one small pizza with two additional toppings, ons caprese salad and two drinks our total was $26.00.... The owner seems pretty nice so we will give it another try after they've worked out some of the kinks of being so new.",
"I'm a bit of a foodie and I travel decently often, so I'm always looking for something very tasty and a bit different wherever I go. I stopped in here soon after they opened and found it to be a very welcoming and warm place, and my waitress was super kind.\n\nThe Duck Confit specialty pizza I ordered was absolutely delicious! I've never had butternut squash as a pizza sauce before, and I couldn't be happier that I decided to try it. Also, I purchased the \"small\" size for $15 and was so full that I ended up taking a quarter of it home with me. Great value for the price.\n\nAs I watched my pizza get made, the owner told me about his specialty toppings and various, recommended options/pairings, all in between ensuring the quality of every pizza that came out of his oven. Amazing.\n\nI'll be returning here every time I'm back in town from now on.",
"My first time at this restaurant. We ordered a couple of pizzas. They were fantastic as was the service! This was the best pizza I have had in a long time! The owner was very personable and made it a point to visit the patrons and made sure everything was good. Our server was busy but always kept a smile on her face and made sure the guest were taken care of. Can't wait to go back!",
"True to my word, we gave this place another shot. This time we tried it as a to go option and were quite pleased. We had a pepperoni calzone and caprese salad. The calzone is huge and filling, it even comes with a side of pizza sauce which was a pleasant surprise. Next visit will be a dine in experience. I'm confident it will be an excellent one.",
"My wife and I have been to this place on multiple occasions, for lunch, dinner, pizza to go and to bring home take and bake. The variety of flavorful crusts is unbeatable but the toppings make it even more so ( Italian sausage to duck!)The other pasta dishes and salads are great too and the deserts are as good as you'll find in the New Orleans area. When you add the great service, it all adds up to a great meal at a great price! We love that the owner/chef is constantly out front mingling with the customers. A great addition to the Harahan/River Ridge area in the tradition of great places like Koz's for poboys, Seither's for seafood (but we miss Charlie's too....), and Zea's for rotisserie. Thanks for being here!",
"My wife and I have been here for lunch, dinner, take-out and take and bake. This place is not just a pizzeria-they have pasta dishes, salads and usually a \"catch of the day.\" But the pizza is great as they have multiple choices on crusts and toppings from Italian sausage to duck. Our favorite pizzas are the whole wheat pizza with duck confit and butternut squash and the Christopher Columbus (Artichokes, spinach, portobello mushrooms, Italian sausage, and classic tomato sauce) on Neopolitan crust. Pasta favorites are the wild mushroom ravioli and the cannelloni with veal, spinach and four cheeses. The stuffed Portabella mushrooms are a great appetizer too. It's great to have a another wonderful, inexpensive restaurant in the Harahan/River Ridge area to go along with Bobby's (Seafood), Seither's (Seafood), Koz's and GG's (po boys).",
"Miss the old Charlie's Seafood but have found a warm and tasty replacement with Happy Italian. Love the seafood dishes and creme brûlée. Love the ziti with walnuts. Lenny and his wife Sandy and daughter are a hard working, wonderful family and it shows in their food. Congrats on a great add to the neighborhood!",
"I've passed this place and decided to give it a try. I got there at 9:05 on a Friday night. The place looked like it was closed but the sign on the door said that dine-in closes at 9 but that take-out is open until 10. I walked in and the waitress said that they were closed. I pointed out the sign on the door which she read and said \"Oh, I guess we're open then.\"\n\nI ordered a small cheese pizza with extra cheese which came to almost $13.00. They were shutting down the restaurant while I waited.\n\nWhen the pizza was done, the box they handed me was the size of a CD (well not that small but pretty small. See the picture I've attached with the pizza next to a remote). For $13.00 I expected their small would be larger than 9\".\n\nThe pizza itself was ok. I got the Neapolitan crust which was pretty good. The sauce was very tangy and was more like a spaghetti marinara than a pizza sauce, although not bad. There was a lot of cheese but it wasn't sliced very well so the whole pizza fell apart when trying to take a slice.\n\nOverall, the pizza just didn't seem put together very well. It kind of tasted like a pizza you might try to make at home with ingredients from Winn Dixie.\n\nThe menu is pretty large and has a lot of items other than pizza. I'm not sure if I will try this place again. I will update the review if I do.",
"There have been several other restaurants at this location that have failed, so I was determined to try them at least once because I hate to see local businesses fail while chain places continue to take over New Orleans. We had also heard about the \"granite-baked\" pizza. WOW! We were truly impressed. We ordered our food to go, but they were cooking up Lenten specials not on the menu that looked and smelled fantastic, so we plan on dining in next time. \nWe ordered a vegetable pizza with classic crust, baked eggplant, Italian Wedding soup, a side order of meatballs, and peanut butter pie. The pizza was amazing, I wish I would have taken a picture of it for this site before we hungrily dug into it. The toppings were generous, and the roasted garlic sauce was perfect. The cheese was creamy and it looked like the commercials when you get a slice out and the rich cheese forms luscious strings as you pull it away from the pizza. The pizza even came with a small rolling slicer! That's the first time I have ever seen that-but it was pre-cut and the slicer helped to cut the beautiful strings of cheese away from the other slices. I love eggplant, and this was very good. Slices of eggplant that were truly baked without the breadcrumb coating, the way it was done in my Italian household, in a delicious red sauce. (Many places coat the eggplant then fry it and drown it in red sauce). I'm going meatless right now, but my partner raved about the soup! It looked so perfect that I had to taste the broth and it was perfectly seasoned. The side order of meatballs were also what I was accustomed to growing up, two large round balls lathered with red sauce. I got ravings about the taste of them as well. Then to top it off, the peanut butter pie was absolutely decadent! A thin crust topped with a light and fluffy delicious peanut butter filling. A thin layer of dark chocolate topped the filling. The sides were just the filling with small chopped peanuts pressed in all around it. And then it was drizzled with a delicious chocolate sauce. I had to ask who did their desserts, thinking Haydel's or some other premium bakery. I was told that the owners daughter is a pastry chef, and does all of the desserts in-house. I was very impressed. \nWe plan to do a dine-in soon, and I will write about that experience, as I see some have had a few problems. But I can't wait to try a special while relaxing and inhaling the delicious foods being cooked here. The diverse menu has so many other items that I want to try I am sure to be a repeat customer for some time to come."

"My dad actually found this hidden Mexican gem somehow and told me about it when I was visiting Florida. Located inside a Howard Johnson hotel (which was a little odd to me). The place looks brand new, refurbished and clean. Lots of places to sit, booths and tables.\n\nThe menu was extensive. A-la-carte options to combination meals of enchiladas,tacos,burritos + beans and rice. So many choices. They also had very odd sizes of beer. I forget the exact oz size but it was like you had the option between a 16oz or a 34oz beer. Something I had never heard of, but it was huge. The food was great, the salsa chips were home made and all around it was a good experience. I had a chicken burrito and all the sides were displayed on an extra plate. Making it easy for me to pick and choose what I wanted to put inside.\n\nIt just felt different going to a hotel-restaurant for dinner rather than another place somewhere more out in the open along the road. Hotel-restaurants to me have always been designed just for the people that are staying there for the night and sometimes the quality isn't as good. But this place was excellent! \n\n4 stars out of 5 because the waiter was a little slow at noticing we were ready to go, waited an extra 10+ minutes for a check. Otherwise, I'd love to go back again and check it out.",
"Excellent! I go here for lunch once a week. Family owned, clean, great service, fresh ingredients, all for a great value. Overall, I don't know of another Mexican restaurant south of Ulmerton that does it better. Really good refried beans, salsa, and cheese.",
"My friends were craving Mexican but it couldn't be any Mexican. Fast food was out; Taco Bus was out because I didn't make it clear enough that you can eat at Taco Bus; Casita Taqueria was out because they wanted more than tacos (and by that they meant chimichangas, and who can blame them). So first stop was Senor Taco - which much to perturb the driver was closed to celebrate MLK. So next stop was \"Mexican Restaurant\".\n\nMexican Restaurant is actually Nuevo Vallarta, which is located in the budget inn (a former Howard Johnson's). Ignore the seedy hotel, the restaurant is great.\n\nThe menu is huge. Plenty of combination lunches/dinners for real cheap, a lot of a la carte options (one of the group got a chicken quesadilla and beef quesadilla and loved eating both at once), and of course plenty of real dinner options. While I was thinking of getting some grilled chicken dinner, I ultimately decided on the shrimp chimichanga. Oh, and I have left overs.\n\nIf you're looking for some great lunch Mexican meals on the cheap, or want an affordable dinner for the family, I highly recommend this not so little place.",
"Great Mexican food! One of the best I've been to in awhile! Family owned & operated. Very extensive menu to cater to any Mexican craving u have. The fresh salsa was AMAZING!! Def will come back again. The staff was very friendly & prompt. Looking forward to many more visits. Also the biggest burritos I have EVER had in my life!!!",
"I was in town for business and checked the local yelp connection fo Mexican. What a great find. Fresh and homemade is all I have to say. From the Sangria(with cinnaman which seems to be a local habit) to the tortillas used for the flautas everything was delish!\nThanks for the great reviews it was very helpful in my decision making process.",
"great homemade mex food, big portions always take half home. friendly staff. good magaritas, can t beat the price!",
"5 stars for being such a great value! Good food, great Marguaritas and good service. You won't find the restaurant name on the building..just look for the big sign that says \"MEXICAN RESTARANT\"",
"This place is one of those \"hole in the walls\" that comes out with great food. It is not my favorite mexican restaurant, but it is my favorite close to my house. :) Carnitas are great with that awesome crispy edges with flavorful moist pork! Yum just thinking about it. The only thing I don't like here is the Tamals, not good. Love the Margaritas ans Cheese Dip!",
"Always great food every time me and my girl go. Probably go once a week. Very good!",
"I would rank Nuevo Vallarta as a bit inferior to your standard run-of-the-mill Mexican joint. The pros for this place include the rock bottom prices and fast service. Now for the cons:\n\n1.) Food is somewhat bland\n2.) Guacamole is too watery in consistency and lacking much needed salt and lime\n3.) Service is okay, but note that mistakes were made regarding orders\n\nDo not be put off by the location of this establishment. It's attached to a hotel and has somewhat of a shady look from the exterior, but the inside is actually quite decent. Nevertheless, consider other local establishments unless you're looking for quick fix."

"Came in around 1pm (Sat) and the place is quaint and cute with two round high tables and window seating. Very clean and being a new home owner i notice their flooring and bar top was really chic. Decor was nice and bright, hanging Asian lanterns and one the side some Traditional Vietnamese hats. I really love their logo with the pig wearing the traditional hat. I saw on one of the window seats there are some board games to play while you have a sip & bite. There is also a fridge filled with some Asian drinks (forgot to take a pic) that may be hard to find unless you go to an Asian grocery store. \n\nService was fast friendly the owner I believe asked if we needed help ordering. They have a huge menu on the side with a \"specials section\". I believe it's something like \"buy this many get one free\" type of limited time deal. \n\nWe got the Go Green and the Jasmine Honey Aloe you (both large) both delicious and came out fast. We also ordered two Banh Mi's or Vietnamese hoagies. A pork roll (Cha Lua) and a grilled pork (thit nuong). Took a bit longer for the sandwiches to come out but it just means they are making it all fresh! We took our sandwiches to go just bc we didn't want to bask the the smell of food for the rest of the day. \n\nWill definitely be back & cannot wait to bring some friends.",
"I love banh mi and I will go out of my way to get a good banh mi. Much to my surprise, I discovered a new spot in North Wilmington. \n\nFor me, the banh mi thit nguoi is the litmus test for whether I would be a returning customer. If you're a banh mi place and you can't get banh mi thit nguoi right, then I have a hard time justifying coming back to your establishment. \n\nLuckily, the banh mi I had today was very good. The bread wasn't too doughy. The pate and cold cuts were quality. The veggies were pickled right, and the fresh veggies were, well, fresh (like they should be). They didn't skimp on the meat either, which is always a big turn off. \n\nI'm so glad this new place opened and is not too far from where I live. I don't have to trek all the way to Philly to get my fix. If you're looking for an authentic Viet treat, this is it!",
"Pretty good, especially considering they just opened. They were out of a bunch of stuff and the girl at the counter couldn't really explain the menu, but hopefully they'll work out the kinks in a few weeks. \n\nThe food and bubble tea me and my girlfriend got were different from what we're used to at Banh Mi Boy in Newark, but it was all still tasty. All the prices were reasonable, too.",
"Delicious!! I was beyond excited when a Bubble Tea spot opened in N. Wilmington. They did not disappoint! The Tea was fresh brewed and the options were plentiful.",
"Awesome service and staff. Excellent bubble tea and banh mi. Recommend the matcha coffee, super good and gave me a boost of energy. Kid friendly too.",
"Wow! Grilled pork bahn mi was out of this world! Never had before, but was in area. Veggies, bun, and grilled pork taste oh so fresh and was filling! Loved the cilantro (my 2nd favorite herb ), seasonings and sauce that come on it. It's got a bit of spice heat They have teas, but didn't get this time. CHECK OUT THIS NEW SPOT AND SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES!",
"Seriously, you can't really go wrong with a nice prepared Banh Mi and good Bubble Tea. They're a complete duo that goes hand in hand. So you know I was more than welcoming to this new Vietnamese establishment in the Wilmington area. \n\nI'm pretty loyal when it comes to the \"Classic\" (Banh Mi Thit Nguoi). Keeping it traditional is how I like it. The baguette was nice and toasty that gives a good crunch after each bite. The pate was smooth and not too overpowering. Generous amount of various cold cuts topped with pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber, and cilantro. I liked the little kick of fresh jalapeños as well. All in all, the sandwich itself was better than I had expected to be. Which will opt me to try other varieties they offer. \n\nAs for the drinks. I love it. The taste of fresh brewed tea is just pure bliss to me. I also spoke to the woman who operates this place and she gave me a little insight that down the line they will offer more items on their food menu. Which I can not wait! You already know, I'll be a regular.",
"Writing this review on my 3rd check in. This place is very good and I'm really happy we finally have a reliable banh mi place in Wilmington. I moved here from Houston so I consider myself a decent judge when it comes to good banh mi - This place is right up there with my top picks!\n\nThe bubble tea choices are okay, not as good as places like Kung Fu and Teado but I have faith that they'll improve over time. Also, shout out to the staff because they are very hard working!",
"The best bubble tea in Delaware! Their bubble tea authentic unlike other places. You get to choose from a variety of flavors and have an option of adding popping pear!",
"Delicious summer rolls and traditional banh mi, loved the bubble tea. Can't wait to go bavk"

"Good clean fun. Went during the day from 4-530 the day after thanksgiving and had a blast. Setting everything up was very quick and we didn't have any problems getting shoes or a lane. I'll take off one star because it took a little while to get service at the snack bar, but the guys at the front counter were quick and helpful. We'll probably come back again. The arcade was small and I noticed a few pool tables.",
"Fiesta Lanes is a reasonably priced bowling alley and a good place to bowl at, but the service is not good. I remember waiting for several minutes for the attendant at the front desk to acknowledge us and provide service. If he could have acknowledged that we were there waiting, then I would have felt differently about my experience. The concession stand is just as bad. You can tell that the employees working in the kitchen hate their jobs. It took forever to get their attention. If you want good attentive service when you bowl then fiesta might not be a good place for you.",
"I'm being generous for giving them two stars. The lady working at the front was super rude.",
"Nice place to meet people. Good equipment. Clean. Nice food. A place for all ages.",
"Not the best bowling alley I have ever been too, but it is close to my house and they participate in free summer bowling for kids. \n\nPositive: close to my house, free bowling summers, great bowling specials, lots of lanes, the man at the front was super nice and helped with any questions \n\nNegative: old and dirty looking, they need new shoes and new chairs, really dark even during the day and really loud (music) even during the day (at least when I was there), the woman at the front was just rude!",
"We bowled at the Fiesta Lanes this past Saturday afternoon and found them to be most agreeable, bright and clean. The music was a bit loud at first, but when we told the desk staff it was turned down. A very nice and convenient place to bowl.",
"Had to go to a manager team builder here. The building is old looking but it's bowling who cares. The big issue is the bar. The bartender was like Halley's comet. This place needs a little customer service. Think of the money they are loosing.",
"Came for a friends birthday. Only to watch and maybe have some drinks, but was informed that due to cosmic bowling I would have to pay $11 for the privilege of coming in and buying things from their bar. Even the front desk employee acknowledged it was a bad policy. This place needs to review their policies if they don't want to drive out business.",
"Wanting to change up the Thursday routine, we decided to go bowling after dinner.\n\nHeaded here because its close to home, plus they had pay $6 and bowl all you want from 9-close (Mon-Thur, I believe). So, there was a little bit of a line but it went pretty good. \n\nOverall, its a bowling alley. Like most, its dark and a little old, but I don't think I would know what to do if a bowling alley was any other way.\n\nI did have to wait a few times for the bartender to get back to the bar, but overall, it wasn't bad. And why would I complain when I am paying $1.50 per drink? \n\nSo, for two of us to bowl six games and have 3 beers each, it cost $25, tip included. And we probably could have bowled more if my arm wasn't getting sore. (Or if I hadn't been losing, but whatever).\n\nOverall, it was a good deal and I will probably be back.",
"Aside from the bowling part and the cost, I don't think I want to come back up here. This is up north so it is quite a drive. \n\nI love bowling and this place was a disappointment. \n\nThe staff is not friendly; I called in advance to see if the place was full and they answered me in such a rude tone and sounded like they think I was pathetic. It was not nice.We went in to pay for it and stuff and no smiles, no actual greetings, they just kinda just sat there and placed on an attitude like, \"we can't wait to get outta here.\" \n\nHad it not been because I was with my friends, I woulda left the minute I walked in there. \n\nTherefore, if the staff was more nicer and pleasant; this would been a 4 or 5 star rating. Ridiculous.\n\nAlso, they claim to close at midnight on Friday but we were still bowling and other ppl were too passed midnight. Idk what their deal was but needless to say; I think that was the first and last time I would ever go back."

"I went to the soft opening of Poke Doke. St. Louis has needed a standalone poke restaurant for years. Poke restaurants should have fresh tasting fish, a good array of toppings, and a reasonable price. Poke Doke satisfies this on all fronts. \n\nThere is an array of proteins available (though I would have liked to see more options, like hamachi), including: salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, octopus, shrimp, and tofu. Unfortunately, the tuna wasn't available today. The salmon and shrimp were both fresh tasting. \n\nThe toppings included: radishes, edamame, seaweed salad, masago, fried onions, imitation crab, and various fruits. There was also a large array of sauces (wasabi mayo, teriyaki mayo, spicy mayo, etc.).",
"So , are you wary of seafood in a land locked state . Well worry no more . This place has vibrant colors combinations with matching bright fresh flavors. The tuna and spicy tuna bowel is what I got and highly recommend. It's like mix and match topping . From sea weed to mangoes to fried onions . It's the best thing for a warm day and hot food is just not calling to you . I'll definitely be back for more .",
"A fantastic Poke restaurant in the CWE! I ordered the spicy tuna and regular tuna with soba noodles and spicy mayo drizzle, kimchi, ginger slices, and various other additions. Fast, amazing food.",
"Great spot in CWE, friendly staff, fresh seafood and an upbeat and hip atmosphere. Such a treat. Can't wait to go back!!!",
"First off let me just say that finding a poke restaurant in St. Louis is like finding a mermaid colony in the middle of a desert. It's nothing short of a miracle. I've eaten plenty of poke in my life and travels from California to Hawaii so I was excited to try this place out. I came here on Day 3 after they officially opened and SO BADLY wanted to love this place. Here's why I didn't: \n\n1. Not worth it for the price point. $10 for a bowl with three scoops of poke. And we are talking about the world's tiniest scoops, like somewhere between a teaspoon and tablespoon of fish per scoop. Majority of my bowl was rice. Maybe it's just my preference, but I AM willing to pay a little more for better quality and more reasonable portions of fish.\n\n2. Aside from the bowl, they charge $5 for a boba tea which was mediocre at best. Used basic powder for the tea base and the boba was hard and sticking in giant clumps at the bottom. \n\n3. For whatever reason both my friend and I felt a little nauseous and ill a couple hours after eating here, and the discomfort lasted for some time. This makes me question the freshness of their ingredients as well as the sanitation because we're dealing with raw fish here. \n\n4. We left feeling half-full and still hungry, and this was after I had spent $15 on my meal and drink, not including tax. \n\nSince this is the first restaurant of its kind in town, I guess I had too high of expectations for this place. I'd like for them to succeed and improve the experience for future diners, so here's the positives: \n\n1. Aside from the meager fish portions, they are pretty generous with the toppings, and there's a good variety of those. Also a solid selection of sauces from eel sauce to wasabi mayo. \n\n2. Service was good - staff was super friendly and our food and drinks were prepared quickly. \n\n3. Nice ambience - modern decor with a relaxed casual feel and you have a lot of freedom to customize your meal while watching it be prepared in front of you. \n\n\nBest of luck, Poke Doke. I'll upgrade my review as needed.",
"10 out of 10. It was my first time eating at a poke restaurant and I was nothing less than satisfied! I had no idea what to get but the staff was super friendly and helpful. The food and service was fast, friendly and delicious to say the least. It has definitely became on of my new favorite places to eat. If you like sushi or anything cuisine like that you will love this place! \n\nThe fish and meat I got tasted fresh and it was really filling! (Coming from someone who can put down quite a bit) I found that it was affordable and I have no complaints whatsoever. \n\nNext time I'm in CWE I will be stopping by Poke Doke.",
"Incredible food! Awesome service and such high quality ingredients. We'll be back a million times. A must try!",
"I recently moved here from Orange County, California, where I ate poke 4+ times a week. This is the first poke place I have found in St. Louis. \n\nPros: \n-Reasonable price \n-lots of topping choices, incl seaweed salad which is usually extra $$\n-fish tastes a lot fresher than all other raw fish I've had at sushi places in STL \n-super friendly staff, people approached my table twice to ask how I liked things, and cleared my tray for me. \n\nCons:\n-reeeeally small poke portions. Scooper was the size of a tablespoon and my server underfilled it on 2/4 of my scoops. For a large you are paying $12 for about 3 oz of fish, if that. \n-No soy sauce or sriracha, a staple at every other poke place I've ever been to. \n-they only have forks, no chopsticks?!? I guess that one is petty, but... it's like having only forks at a sushi place... \n\nOverall, this satisfied my longing for raw fish which is all I can hope for in the Midwest I suppose. I'll be back, just not 4 times a week",
"Yessss!!! Finally a poke place in st louis, I love Japanese food, and the more variety we get in STL the better. \n\nI tried the spicy tuna and ahi tuna bowl with almost everything on it with wasabi mayo and it was delicious!\n\nMy wife tried a similar bowl with spicy mayo and it was great as well.\n\nFinally, the main challenge that we overcame was our son's aversion to asian food. He liked his bowl and is willing to come back here again.\n\nI hope they maintain the quality of the food here and also the friendliness of the staff, it goes a long way.",
"Update: Were going to try the medium, but they raised their price to $10/small, $12/regular???\n\nUpdate 2: Got a regular with spicy tuna. This time I actually had a lot of fish left over (and they were willing to give me a scoop of rice to help me eat it). I suspect the first time I went I was only given one of my two scoops. Regular size was enough to fill me.\n\nAwesome to see a poke place! Would give it like a 3.5, because not enough food for the price and their fish to rice ratio was unsatisfying. I may have only received one scoop of fish though...\n\nEnvironment: clean, good menu, and well-staffed so far. Choose your options at the counter style.\n\nSize: smaller than I was expecting. $8 for a small: like a cup and a half of rice or noodles and maybe 1.5-2 tablespoons of fish. Just seeing them scoop the fish with their tiny scoop is depressing, even if you get a decent amount of fish in the end. At least the toppings were plentiful. They fill about 2/3 their bowl size, which makes it easy to stir but sad to eat. Still kinda hungry after their small; think you need to order a medium at least for $10.\n\nTaste: yum! things taste good, nice and flavorful, and their spicy tuna had a pleasant afterburn. Can't say anything about the freshness of the fish because only ordered spicy tuna and shrimp. They also have tofu. Base poke sauce is a sweet soy. A tad oversauced for my soba noodles but about right for the rice. \n\nOptions: Good selection of carbs, fish, and especially toppings and sauces. Toppings include fried onions (crunch!), mango, pineapple, crab (for more meat), fish eggs (masago), seaweed salad (yum), and avocado for extra $.\n\nPearl milk tea: Ordered a green tea and it was brown; I think it was a generic milk tea? Decent flavor but cup was about 1/3 ice so it was gone really fast for $5. Good pearls."

"Yup yup yup",
"Excellent! Been coming here for 3 years for Breakfast! FREE Bloody with breakfast platter purchase! Fun & Humorous Staff! Super Down To Earth! No Frills! Bring your dog(s) so I can pet them and feed them bacon :)\n\nAnd... They make scrambled eggs the right way... Choppy not a mass (like an omelette- gross) :)\n\n*picture* potatoes :)",
"The burger here deserves a worthy mention! I have been on the search for a place that can provide a delicious burger with fresh cut french fries for less than $10 since moving here. I can say that this place has satisfied that craving! They put the burger together exactly how I ask and the fresh cut french fries set them apart from the other burger spots in town!",
"Love the food! Love the laid back atmosphere! Service is great! And they are super dog friendly! We go a few times a month. I highly recommend the sunset grill!",
"We've been here almost 10 times now & can't say how much we love this place! Everything we've tried I the menu has been amazing, starting off with the mexican pizza & wings! Servers are always fun & very attentive. Several tv's, dog friendly, live music on the weekends & it's what we call \"our neighborhood bar right around the corner.\" We would only recommend sitting in the large outdoor patio as the inside feels very dark & gloomy.",
"Great place to eat I have had nearly everything on the menu. The weekly lunch specials are a great deal 5.00 I like the Buffalo chicken sandwich. The weekend breakfast is great also the french toast and sausage are my favorite. The blackened garlic wings and grouper bits are always a good choice",
"Don't go to a corporate sports bar for wings! Go here!\n\nFriendly service, great covered outdoor seating, amazing wings.",
"This is my new favorite place to get a burger (El Cap used to be!). I went here Labor Day weekend, recemended by someone who came into my job a few days earlier and told me about it when I asked where a fun place was I could go to, has great food and I can bring my best buddy Bob the dog with me! I will definately be back here for the guacamole burger and onion strings. So good! My dog also had fun and the waitress was really nice and brought him some ice water. Bob and I say THANKS! ( :",
"We tried Sunset Grille for the first time because of the live music. The house wine was good as were the garlic wings and deep-fried mushrooms! Service was prompt and friendly. Ventilation was adequate to accommodate non-smokers in spite of being busy.",
"We go every Sunday morning when in st pete. Love Beverly, she makes my day every time. Great hangover food and the Bloody Mary is the hair of the dog. A must stop."

"No idea how I'm the first to review this place. The pastries were delicious and they have draft La Colombo Coffee, what could be better? Not only was the food great, but it's also a beautiful space - from the high ceilings to the greenery. The only con is they ran out of croissants, but it only took waiting an extra 8 minutes for a hot one right from the oven. Definitely will be returning!",
"Stopped in yesterday on their opening day. They've done a very nice job with the place and they've clearly made a major financial investment in it. It is bright and cheerful, with neutral tones of marble, off white paint and grey accents. The tables are nice, they have a mix of seating, including white painted metal industrial Tolix style chairs, a couple booth style seats and a longer bench running along one wall. The cafe is meticulously clean and the display cases and counter are well lit. They have modern payments methods available, including Apple Pay. The view of center city street life from the cafe is lively with many locals walking to and fro, making the front seats pleasant in this regard. The pastries are beautiful and delicious. I had a raisin roll, which was custardy and addictive. There were apple turnovers in the display case that looked like pieces of art, as did all the other pastries. Also had a cappuccino, which was nice. All in all, for opening day, I think they hit a home run. It's so difficult starting a new cafe and it is inevitable that there will be kinks to work out, but these weren't apparent. These guys thought of nearly everything, and the staff was very friendly. I was impressed by how seamless the operation seemed, regardless of it being day one - so hats off to what must have been incredibly meticulous planning, training and organization. All said, nice new addition to the neighborhood; I wish them well and will be interested to see how things evolve there as the business matures and as locals begin to discover the new cafe. I know I'll stop by when I'm in the mood for a delicious pastry.",
"My girlfriend and I stopped by J'aime the Saturday after it's opening. There was a short line formed which moved fairly quickly. The selection of parties are displayed on the counter, and it seemed as though some were starting to sell out (or at least another batch had to be baked). We ordered the Sugared Chouquette with Whipped Cream, Paris Philadelphia, a Mocha, and a Cappucino. The drinks were solid, and had a nice froth to them, but the real stars were the pastries. The texture of the cream was perfect, and both had just the right amount of sweetness.\n\nWhile the pastries are great, the prices can be a bit steep, especially for the chouquette. However, the service is friendly and the space is bright and clean.\n\nJ'aime is a well-executed French bakery with plenty of mouth-watering options, including some exceptional pastries.",
"This place is very nice. Always on the lookout for new french bakery. This place has great croissants (will venture out to say best in philly to date?); my 2 yr old daughter loved their \"pain au chocolat\" mistakenly referred to as \"chocolate croissant\" :)\n\nThe only downside for me were:\n\n1) there is a lot of light (long windows) and was a bit disturbing on a sunny morning (more of a preference thing).\n\n2) they advertised \"fresh squeezed juice\" which i was excited about, however it was not freshly squeezed it was a local vendor who has juice in containers.\n\nBoth of these are not big enough to stop the experience but worth noting",
"Such a cute, quiet coffee shop with fresh pastries!\n \nFresh french baguette and wonderful Kusmi tea.",
"This cafe has food options that are not listed but are on display, I tired to purchase a Quiche and an Iced Coffee and my total was mind blowingly $15... I had only brought $14 with me because no cafe I've ever been to for breakfast has cost close to that. When I confessed I was a $1 short, they threw the quiche away... Over priced, I hope this place makes it.... no other coffee shop in this place has been able to.",
"Yum! Enjoyed iced herbal tea and apple tart the other day while wondering around the city. I felt fortunate to find this little oasis on 12 street. My tea was both delicious and refreshing. The apple tart was a French work of art....tender juicy apples encapsulated in a light pastry, not too sweet, not too tart...perfect! I enjoyed relaxing at my table open to the outdoor elements and watching people walk on by. The bakery has huge windows which were open at this time of year and made one feel as though they were outside, but slightly protected from the sun. The decor of white and grey tones created a sophisticated backdrop where the pastries and other delectable goodies take center stage. The staff behind the counter were authentic French, warm and friendly. They even provided me with a sample of tea to help me choose among the options. \n\nYes, it's a bit pricey. However, the food, charm and patisserie ambiance made me anxious for a return visit. Be sure to navigate your way to J'aime French Bakery in the near future. I highly recommend it. Bon appetit!",
"Came to Philly for the weekend, and stopped into this new French Bakery my friend told me about. Split a lemon tart and chocolate cream chouquette with my friend. We fought over the last piece of lemon tart, which had a ring of torched meringue around the edges. WOW! \n\nIt is styled after traditional French bakery, serving up delicious croissants and brioche with your coffee, tarts by 11am, and then quiches for lunch... I guess I'll have to stop by every hour, on the hour to try it ALL. Looking forward to this place blowing up!",
"I came all the way from NYC to Philly just for J'aime and it was definitely worth it! My friend and I shared the special quiche, chocolate brioche, merveilleux (speculoos, cream, meringue goodness), and a croissant. Ah, AND draft lattes. We got a box to bring the leftovers back with us but ended up returning the box after polishing everything off in one sitting. The staff is SUPER friendly and attentive and the ambiance is bright, fresh, and cheerful. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Philly for the first or 100th time.",
"I am so happy J'aime has opened near us. It is by far the best pastries I've had in the states. It literally tastes as good as a chocolate croissant from France. It's beyond delicious and the place is so well decorated- the staff friendly- and the smells... out of this world. They are also super friendly and brought a little water bowl for my pup while we were sitting outside. LOVE. I can't say enough good things. Try them :)"

"Really lovely brunch menu! My husband and I went for their $15 brunch and it was truly fantastic. We also tried the Oysters Rockefeller and they were delicious. Definitely will be visiting again!",
"Whilst on a stroll with Mafalda (bath salts, warm gin), we became rather peckish and immediately craved an over-priced burger in a faux-French Quarter decor. Thank god for Crappy's! They really came through in the clutch - a $14 burger served in the most heinous dining room I have ever seen (starry-night ceiling, fake balconies, the works). Incredible service from some instantly forgettable people who are probably still waiting on their first paycheck. Everybody was so nice, and chef Crappy came out to thank us for coming! He was accompanied by an extrememly grumpy man in a Saints visor that appeared to have been worn in consecutive days since the Archie Manning era. Chef was gracious and friendly, grumpy man was grumpy and said they didn't acceppt possum pelts as payment. Mafalda, in her endless eloquence, said \"Blerght, we don't have real monies, only pelts.\" Chef accepted the pelts, on the fair condition that the next time we came back, we brought real money, and more conservative clothing. See my facebook page for our outfits of the day!",
"They don't honor OpenTable canceled our reservation last minute no notice blamed OpenTable. Don't trust them.",
"This is one of the best restaurants in the city hands down (which is a tough city to stand out in) and so reasonably priced. The food is fantastic and fresh every day and u can't beat the ambiance. The chef and owner Chappy and his staff are friendly and welcoming. Not pretentious at all though they have every right to be with the quality of the food they serve. Brunch is only $15 for an amazing 3 course meal on Sundays. If u don't have the time for a sit down nice meal here go next door to monkey hill bar. Chappy does the bar food. One of the best burgers in the city and many more small plates. I have loved everything I have ordered at Chappys or monkey hill. U need to try this place!",
"We went to the Monkey Bar for drinks and loved the ambiance there and asked to look at the restaurant attached and found another ambiance to love. Unfortunately we had already had dinner but when we went back to the bar we ordered an appetizer, knowing they were from the restaurant kitchen. The appetizer was perfectly flash-fried huge oysters placed over fresh spinach creamed with brie and presented on a long, narrow rectangular plate. Incredible! We went back a day later for brunch and we impressed with the food and friendly, professional service. The shrimp bisque was creamy and subtle, the omelet was perfect, eggs Benedict and bread pudding were excellent. Prices offer a great value in food, wine and cocktails.\nWe are both professional, working chefs and we will be making this our special place for romantic dinners and special celebrations. The décor is a treat and there is a lovely private dining room and off street parking. What more could you want?",
"Tried the Sunday 3 courses brunch(salad/soup+XXX+bread pudding). Great.\n\nNext time will go for dinner.",
"My friends and I were lucky to find a table at Chappy's during a busy Mardi Gras weekend. With six of us, tired and hungry and with no reservations, we fully expected to be sent packing. They were full but took pity on us and set us up in a corner of their banquet room. \n\nWe were just happy to find a place that would take us and did not expect much from the food. Suffice it to say that all six of us were blown away. \n\nThe gumbo was simply amazing. Crab cakes out of this world. Both dishes that are common everywhere but always just a little different. I've had gumbo and crab cakes more times than I can count but the ones at Chappy's were better than I've ever had anywhere.\n\nI was too stuffed for dessert but pressed to take a bite of the bread pudding and it was a party in my mouth. \n\nService was wonderful, friendly and fun. We left feeling like we'd made friends. \n\nWe will definitely be back the next time we are in New Orleans!",
"Was here on vacation for Mardi Gras. Hotel was nearby, so we tried this place twice. The first day I had Eggs Benedict (which is normally one of my favorite things in the world and I have had it all around the country and globe). The eggs were ultra runny. The eng muffin was burnt on the underside. The hollandaise sauce was watery, ultra buttery, salty and tart. Second time: tenderloin steak was not butterflied but it had a huge slit down the center of it, where it parted while cooking.. Making it medium well instead of the medium rare I ordered. NO quality restaurant slits or butterflies steak!! Oysters looked slimy and smelled fishy and we were afraid to eat them. To me, this place is another New Orleans \"tourist trap\". Reminds me of the tourist traps on Lincoln Rd in South Beach. Most of the patrons are drunk and couldn't tell fine dining from horse meat. Everything is fine when you're intoxicated. None of the patrons are repeat clientele. That's why this place gets away with what it does.",
"Fantastic dining experience! We are locals that live Uptown and decided to try Chappy's. We were greeted at the door, and I dare say, were treated like royalty...the doorman helped me off with my coat, pulled out our chairs...very pleasantly unexpected for a casual dining experience (not to mention I'm a guy!!)! The ambience is a little dated, but they told us they would soon be updating the dining room. The food is very good....the fried oyster appetizer was delicious...the redfish was a huge filet with their signature bearnaise sauce...is your mouth watering yet?! I wish we had had room for dessert. The table next to us got the bread pudding and it looked freaking awesome. The staff is very friendly...we met the chef/owner, his adorable wife, and the pastry chef. We'll definitely be back!",
"I had the most amazing experience at this place! I am from NYC and we made reservations for 8 people. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. The food was incredible! The ambience floored us and the lovely hostess shared the history of the architecture in the units. The bathrooms were so clean and the staff so helpful. I had the scallops appetizer with amazing crawfish étouffée. Affordable wine options. Next time I visit NOLA I am going again. :-)"

"I absolutely love, love LOVE Nadine's. \n\nThis is one of the most unassuming places in Soulard and quite possibly has one of the best patios. The patio is tropical themed, covered in astroturf, and heated and open year long. Actually, the bar is open year round, every day all day and night. This place has afforded my cousin more than one escape from our families when the holiday grind has gotten to us. The only time I have ever seen this place packed in fact is during Mardi Gras and Bastille Day, so it really keeps that nice neighborhood feel. There's darts and shuffle board, TV's playing the Cardinals, old neighborhood locals, young 20 somethings trying to avoid the crowds and cover charges at The Shanti and The Great Grizzly Bear, and people just looking to sit around and chill out. \n\nSaturday night karaoke every week can bring in a pretty solid crowd as well, but still not nearly as packed as most the usual Soulard haunts. Get there early and grab some dinner, the food is excellent and just like I love, cheap.\n\nIn my opinion they have to bring back the horseshoe pits in the back and then they will have fully earned that five star rating, but I still just love this bar and always have such a nice night when I go here...and I have hope that the horseshoes will be back soon enough.",
"I am a big fan of the Chicken Fried Chicken and the Chorizo Burger. Also has an all you can eat fish special (Sundays?).\n\nI'm a lot disappointed that one of the few remaining pool tables in Soulard disappeared last year and before that, a wonderful old shuffleboard table...and horseshoes...and then the bar...but I do go back for that CFC and the bartenders are great too!",
"I didn't sit on the famous and well reviewed patio. I went in, sat down, had a drink and left. It was smokey, I felt over dressed and somewhat out of place. The waitress, when not having a very in depth chat with her friends about where to get the best and most inexpensive hair accessories, was somewhat attentive. My drink was strong and cold. The table was sticky. \n\nI can see this being a great hang out to watch a game, to get hammered, or to hang with the locals. Just not my cup of tea.",
"We ventured in here last night for a quick drink and that's exactly what we did. The table we sat at was sticky which was a bit of a turn off. Had it been later in the night and several beers later, I doubt I would have noticed but it was still pretty early on a weekday night. The thing that stuck me as being a bit odd was their selection of beer on tap was rather limited. My beer was nice and cold which is always a good thing. \n\nThe patio looked cool, so I may have to come back in the fall when the weather is more conducive to sitting on a patio and having a cold brew. Then again, I have several other places in Soulard that I really like so I'm not sure if I will come back to give Nadine's a second go round.",
"Nadine's is a Soulard staple, located in a historic building a block north of McGurk's. It's a down-to-earth neighborhood bar with a great patio and outdoor bar that is popular in the nice weather months. \n\nIt's usually filled with Soulardians and the occasional pub crawl/bachelor party, but generally, it's a low key crowd of all ages.\n\nDrinks are reasonable and they have a full pub grub menu with most items priced under $10. They have TVs, and an occasional DJ/Live music. The only major downer for me is that it gets smoky on the patio.",
"Went here on a snow day and I cannot complain. The cheeseburger was better than I have had many other places around here. The home cut fries are pretty tasty too. Basic menu and nothing cliche that some other menus suffer from. My beer never approached empty. The service is above standard but better than most in Soulard. \nIt is smoking so be aware of that. \n\nI will be back to enjoy some red and white dynamites and cheeseburgers.",
"Ha haaaa. fun. I get it, sleaze bar, food is passable, sweet potatoe fries, yes. If your feeling depressed, slam 4 shots of Jameson and scream out \"Sugartits!!!\" see the broad come running up and stuff your drooly mug up in there. Works better than prozak.",
"I certainly find professional reviews helpful and interesting to read, but, good or bad, I try not to let them diminish my curiosity about a restaurant. I've run into too many people who bash or praise a restaurant based on someone else's experience rather than their own! Recently my friends threw me a wonderful surprise party on the patio at Nadine's Gin Joint. The food was perfect and the service was tops. Mussels, fried oysters, toasted ravioli and a wonderful nacho bar, not their ordinary menu. Everyone was treated with such attention, my friends and family who have never been there were impressed. I could not have been happier with the choice of venue. The patio at Nadine's Gin Joint is amazing and even though it was a warm July evening in St. Louis. The added fans were there for the occasional welcomed breeze. I suggest more people think of Nadine's for these special occasions! Thank you to the Staff and Owner at Nadine's Gin Joint for making it the best 40th birthday party!",
"Went there on a Saturday w/ the lady and our friend. Place looked like a dump. Asked for a martini because it's called a gin joint, which confused the waitstaff. Probably should have gone for a beer. They asked for our id's. We moved here from CA a few years ago, our friend moved here from Seattle. They kicked us out of the bar because we had out of state ID's. Seriously. I'm 29, wife is 27, our friend is 26 and he has an MD for chirst's sake. Seemed like they couldn't see why someone would move to St. Louis from out of state. Don't go to this bar.",
"Headed to Nadines for the 1st time to say Happy Birthday to a friend who was having a party there. This is a two section type neighborhood pub and we sat in the section with the bar. The other half contained more tables and was a good area to have a party.\nWe got a table and were greeted right away. Our server was very attentive and nice and she took great care of us. \nWe ordered drinks but they were off....maybe the soda machine was running out of syrup or something. We drank them anyway since they weren't terrible and we didn't feel like trying again.\nWe got a Mushroom Swiss Burger which was very good w/ fresh mushrooms (not the canned variety) but I really didn't like the huge bun which was a bit too firm.\nI ordered my burger w/ mashed potatoes and wished they were more than just potatoes mashed up, but didn't mind seasoning them up myself and they did come w/ gravy.\nMy friends got the fried calamari and the fried zucchini....both very typical and just alright. If you'd like to see photos....I added them to the album.\n\nI probably won't be back, but only because it was pretty smokey and I'm so used to the smoke-free places now."

"Very good service and tasty food!! Will be back soon! The food was delicious and we have been here twice already!! \n\nI'm so excited to have found this close by place",
"Been very anxious for this place to open since it's around the corner from us and I needed new pho place nearby. I am happy to report I enjoyed the vermicelli and summer rolls I had. The shrimp vermicelli while not loaded with shrimp were seasoned perfectly while the pork rolls were fresh and also seasoned well. The great thing is the customablity of the pho and vermicelli dishes which I am not used to so it took awhile to wrap our brains around all the options. \n The place is spacious, waiter friendly and open until 9:30pm everyday so there leaves plenty of time to get my summer roll fix late at night.",
"I'll preface this review with the fact that I am not a huge pho fan. But my boyfriend is the actual #1 fan so I kinda get dragged places. When he saw the sign go up for this place I was sure he was going to camp out for the opening. We finally made it in the other night and were super happy with everything. I got the pork vermicelli and we shared a few summer rolls as well. Our server was excellent, he was constantly checking on us and was super prompt. The food comes out FAST! They aren't messing around when it comes to speed. I'd really like to try some of there fried rice options next time as they look delish! My only concern is that there isn't much going on decor wise (ik I'm being picky). But other than the plain facade everything from food to service is a 5.",
"Called in to pick up a couple of different summer rolls from first visit and they were fresh, made quick and our original waiter gave me a friendly \"Welcome back.\" With the weather cooling off I'm def trying their pho very soon.",
"I live in Voorhees and I have been patiently waiting for a good Vietnamese place to open up so I don't have to travel to Thai Son 20 minutes away for a decent bowl of bun bo hue or pho. (Yes, that means I do not consider Pho Huong Viet a place that serves a decent bowl of bun bo hue or pho, but that's another story.) If you are having any cravings for Vietnamese food in Voorhees, this should be your go-to. They not only serve pho but they also have rice plates and the bird's nest noodles (pictured). I have tried their pho and bun bo hue and each have tender meat with flavorful broths. I wish they had the congealed blood cubes and pork feet that traditionally come with bun bo hue but I understand they are serving more of a non-Asian demographic because of the location. They also serve bubble tea which I have heard good things about. Prices? Cheaper than Pho Huong Viet and at least 5x yummier (especially for the bun bo hue). Service? Super chill and attentive staff. Ambience? Open space with high ceilings and plenty of seating to accomodate larger crowds. I can't wait to come back to try more of their menu!",
"Thai Tea Bubble Shake and Grilled Pork Banh Hoi were the bomb! Love this place. Take out was quick and BYOB if you want to eat there. So glad that another Vietnamese joint is in the area.",
"Really good pho. Finally a pho place close to home. Affordable and gives a lot of meat",
"My boyfriend and I wanted to try out something new today and he told me this place just opened up!! We were greeted immediately when we walked in ;) Our waiter took the time to explain the Pho Options as this was the first time my boyfriend was getting the XLarge option! The waiter even brought the bowl out to show my boyfriend! I ended up changing my mind and getting the Pad Thai with chicken. It was delicious :) we definitely plan on coming back!!",
"The food was very good and tasted so fresh!!! I ordered vegan spring rolls and cheese wontons! We also ordered Grilled beef with steamed rice and Thai fried rice( we were so hungry that I forgot to take a photo!)I love how they have a lot of options too! the cleanliness of the place definitely a big plus!!!",
"Very, very tasty. Served hot. Nice mix of vegetables and spices. Generous portions. Not much atmosphere but very well maintained and clean. Definitely worth it."

"Food trucks are an essential part of the West Philadelphia diet. They're everywhere: up and down Spruce Street, with a bunch on 38th and 40th. They're inexpensive, convenient, and many of them serve food that's surprisingly good. \n\nBut Bui's Lunch Truck manages to stand out amidst all the rest. Maybe it's the charming Vietnamese family that runs the joint, or maybe it's those perfect egg & cheese sandwiches that they put together in no time, but people form long, long lines on the weekend to land one of Bui's famous concoctions. Penn kids will tell you it's the perfect hangover cure. \n\nIf you make it there, definitely go with tradition: bacon, egg & cheese; sausage, egg & cheese; or just egg & cheese --- these sandwiches, on fresh Amoroso long rolls, are always your best bet. Ask for it with Sriracha-brand hot sauce, salt and pepper. Also, if you're watching your cholesterol, the Bui family can assemble a lovely egg white and tomato sandwich for you. Any of the above should run you about $1.50.",
"Yes indeed, the only thing I've ever purchased from Bui's is the egg sandwich. Fresh roll + perfectly cooked eggs + made to order + *cheap* = bliss. I keep it simple: egg whites with cheese on a long roll. They don't look at me funny if I ask for just 1 piece of cheese or black pepper.",
"Cure for a hangover:\n\nMore alcohol \n\nand Bui's\n\nI save this for Sunday mornings... and by mornings I mean early afternoon... but hell, it's morning to me!",
"I have only had a breakfast sandwich from Bui's and frankly, I am not impressed. \n\nThe sausage, egg and cheese is way better at Hemo's.",
"I love the grandfather who works here. He's always smiling!\n\nAnother of the food trucks on 38th between Walnut and Spruce (closer to Spruce), Bui's serves hungry college kids, specializing in the hung-over category. Home to probably the best steak eggs & cheese sandwich (onions optional) on campus, Bui's has great bread (crusty, yet soft), quick service, and loyal customers. The sandwich is large and filling. I normally get mine with salt-peppa-ketchup & hot sauce. \n\n**Tangent**\nSriracha hot sauce is hands down one of the best hot sauces out there. I highly recommend you getting a bottle of this Thai hot sauce. It's much better than any-old, boring tabasco. \n**End Tangent**\n\nAnother enjoyable sub is the Mrs. Bui's--a grilled chicken sandwich with tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. It bears an uncanny resemblance to Hemo's grilled chicken sandwich, however the sauce is spicier, and typically the wait is shorter. I think it's a good substitute and change of pace from Hemo's.\n\nEstimated wait time during lunch hour ~10-15 minutes.",
"in two words: THE BEST\n\nin a few more words: this place is an egg-and-cheese mecca. nothing beats spending pocket change on one of these heavenly sandwiches.",
"Hands down, the best egg sandwich in West Philly, maybe even in the city. Only Bui makes it just the way I like it \n\nwhole wheat + egg whites (spelled \"eggs white\" on the sign) + sriracha\n\nso fast, so cheap, so delicious, I can't get enough, and I rarely order anything else. Spinach is a nice addition, though, if you need some more vegis in your day.",
"One of the keys to Bui's breakfast sandwiches-- they toast the roll. Giant $2 lightly crisped egg and cheese sandwiches (available at lunch time too- they don't run out of eggs and force you to buy cheesesteaks after 11am).\n\nThey will also remember you and your order -- one of my friends will show up in the crowd and they will start making his sandwich (egg & cheese with sausage) when they see him.",
"The best breakfast sandwich in West Philly (and the best I've had in the city but I've not tried many outside of Univ. City). \n\nThe rolls are the key. Toasted, light, and fluffy. You tell Ms. Bui your order (probably bacon, egg, and cheese with salt, pepper, and ketchup) and it's up in about 2 minutes, even with a line. Like the others have said, get Sriacha...I love it WITH ketchup as you get sweet and hot. \n\nI've been to Bui's so many times it's crazy. It's a Penn staple and it's worth going to if you live in Univ. City. \n\nTheir lunches aren't bad either. It's about as good of a cheesesteak as you'll ever get off of a truck.",
"A food truck, it has amazing breakfast rolls. Salt peppa ketcha always asked and a giant size - cheap, too, and always fast. \n\nIf you ask for extra mushrooms, they will always put it on properly. Bacon, ham, and sausage with cheese.. yum! Or extra mushroom & onion cheesesteak.\n\nEaten at them since 1998, and always go back when I'm close."

"Burritos the size of your fists put together, Nachos worthy of worship, Fish tacos that arent mystery fish but delicious white fin. Complimentary Salsa bar.A setup like Salad Works where you watch your food created before you and the most amazing queso to ever grace your taste buds will have you forgetting all about Taco Bell. Well worth the price which may seem steep at first until you see the amount of food you get for it. If you love southwest food and all things spicy this is the place for you!",
"I like Moe's alot but am not happy about this one in my neighborhood. The big reason is that the portions are alot smaller than what I am use to, eg deptford location. I will visit the other store or go to chipotle for my portions.",
"I've been going to Moe's for quite some time now and I must say that this location not only has a great staff, but also it's very clean and they serve you the food the way that you would've prepared it (nicley) vs. just thrown together and handed to you. I just can't say that about all the other MOe's I've been to. Keep it up Cross Key's Moe's",
"I am so glad that there are a few Moe's in South Jersey. I discovered Moe's when I lived in Southwestern Florida and I have been a fan ever since. The staff always gives you a warm greeting when you walk through the door and I never have to wait long for service. They have a diverse menu and the ingredients are always fresh. I like that you have a choice of chicken, tofu, ground beef, pork or steak for all of their entrees. Another good thing to mention is that they provide a few gluten-free alternatives as well as vegetarian options. Their salsa bar gives you a choice of four different salsas to go with your nachos and entrees. This is a great place for people who don't know much about southwestern food or people that would love a healthier alternative than Taco Bell.",
"Not a fan at all. IMO the food is extremely overrated. Every time I go here the food is cold and bland, plus it's usually thrown together sloppily. On top of that, the staff always has an attitude, no matter who is working, everyone has an attitude. I don't understand why if you hate your job so much you continue to work there... One star because the restaurant is always clean when I go.",
"The food was bland. we ordered the burrito bowls but they didn't have it with steak so we asked them to replace the chicken bowl with steak instead. We were charged for the full Chicken burrito bowl and then charged extra for steak but we didn't get chicken and steak, only steak. What a rippoff, overated. \nChipotle's just opened up about a few feet away.....Goodbye Moe's.",
"Chipotle or Moe's?? They're right next to each other so the decision is impossible!!\n\nif you pressed me to pick a place I'd pick Moe's. Its really close. And here's why:\n\nChipotle seems to have better burritos, they're meatier and more flavorful. That doesn't mean Moe's has a bad burrito. Moe's has a bigger selection, and they're cheaper, mostly due to the free chips with each burrito, since Chipotle charges extra for them. On the subject of chips, Moe's are much better than Chipotle's. I do not like the lime zest on Chipotle and I feel like I've gotten stale, old chips from them. The salsa is also free at Moe's. Another Moe's win for me is the drink selection. They feature a Coca-Cola Freestyle soda fountain with literally 100+ different flavors of sodas and other beverages (About 30 flavors of sparkling and non-sparkling water alone). \n\nMoe's also has a text-promotion / loyalty rewards program (type your phone number in at the register -- so easy!!). They also have foursqaure specials, today I was able to get a free large soda with my burrito with it. Your 10th (or 11th?) visit nets you a free entree. \n\nIts really the little things that edge Moe's over Chipotle for me. It also seems like a more down to earth, less pretentious place than Chipotle.",
"The biggest clue to this place being such a huge disappointment is that they burn through their employees, managers, and owners. I understand how it is for trainees to get the hang of making food but it seems like they're always in training. Recently the food is not fresh and very bland. The rice was harder than Charlie Sheen at the playboy mansion and handing a coupon felt like having a nail file in your pocket at the airport ..waaaay tooo serious yet manipulative on the actual discount. I give this place a C- and a letter home to their mothers",
"They helped me out with a catering order at the last minute. The staff was great and very accommodating.",
"I love the food that I receive from Moe's. I usually go to the Deptford location because it is closer, but they are always nasty and the manager is extremely unprofessional. I would rather drive out of my way to the Sicklerville location, because they have great customer service - most of the time anyway. I just wish the customer service at this chain restaurant was more consistent. 4 stars because the food is worth the inconsistencies."

"Chipotle has always been one of my favorite places to eat ever since the first one in Carmel opened in Merchant Square (rip). This new store is very nice and the decor feels perfectly in line with their aesthetic. It feels a little small, and I'm worried about how well it will fare in the lunch rush because it is in a high traffic area around a bunch of businesses. I think that this restaurant could be overwhelmed for its size.\n\nThere will eventually be outdoor seating.\n\nI had a burrito from there, and it was perfect, and the staff was very polite and kind. Some of them were obviously new and still learning, but they got everything perfect as far as I was concerned. Can't wait to return here over and over.",
"Horrible coordination of register n food prep. I stood there watching them make multiple orders while my food gets cold. And there are 5 people who work there just standing AROUND!!!! Errrrrr...Will go to Qdoba next time.",
"The newest Chipotle to open and it is real close to my work. I waited a few weeks to let the grand opening rush die down, but still around lunch time, this place gets packed. Everyone seems to love the brand, and they have good reason to I think as the food quality is good.\n\nIn the end though, this place is a chain, and very average. I like this location because of how clean it is as well as location but...it's just a Chipotle. If I had to pick a good and a bad it would be:\n\nGood:\nFresh and great tasting meats & veggies\n\nBad:\nPrice for add-ons are brutal. $2 to add guac to your meal and $3 to add extra meat. I left with 1 rice bowl for $13 because i wanted extra meat and guac. :(\n\n\nI'd come back here if craving it, sure why not?",
"This is a decent Chipotle. The inside is open and clean with lots of fun places to sit. A nice feature is the long elevated bars that seat 4-6 people. It is easy to get to off of US31 and there is lots of parking. \n\nNo complaints about the food/service. Everything is pretty much standard for Indiana Chipotles.",
"What can you say, it is Chipotle and that means it is good. I went there yesterday to do a quick pickup and the new store is clean and much more inviting than the old design. \nKeep up the good work, will be back regularly especially when the road work on 126th street is done.",
"I like Chipotle, but this location isn't at the top of my list.\n\nFor starters, I got there and they were out of chicken. And veggies. Like out. Granted, it was pre-5pm so not quite dinnertime rush yet, but still. The nice lady did offer me a free drink while I was waiting for the chicken to finish cooking.\n\nBonus: it was the best Chipotle chicken I've ever had. After that hiccup, it was smooth sailing.\n\nThe concept is open but it's not a big Chipotle and could easily get crowded. I popped a squat on one of the bar stools and it was not comfortable. Very small circular seat for your behind and not a back or a ledge to put your feet. I wasn't a fan.",
"Nearly the worst service at any fast food chain I have ever been to. I have been to this particular Chipotle three times in 2015, and two times my order was messed up. The employee staffing the cash register appeared to be aloof and not interested in providing good customer service at all. Don't come to this Chipotle during the lunch rush hour unless you are willing to wait. Last week I placed a to go order on the website for my entire family. I paid for the order ahead of time. When I arrived to pick it up, I stood at the cash register for 3 minutes before being acknowledged, despite Chipotle's advertising about being able to show up and get your order right away. I was given my order bag without any thanks, and then drove the 50 minutes to home (this was to be a special treat for my wife, who likes Chipotle, although we do not have one near our home). Upon arriving home, I found that they left out both of my kids' drinks and both of my kids' sides with their meals. I called back three times before the phone was answered and the person who answered took down my name, saying she would make it right the next time I was there. How does she expect the staff to remember? Sorry, but I don't plan for there to be a next time that I visit this Chipotle, when there are several other choices on the North side for a good lunch or dinner. 2 stars rather than 1 star, because the quality of the food is great.",
"No smiles, running out of food but not communicating to teammates loud enough what is needed, arguing amongst each other, giving me a non- existent portion instead of waiting for your refills to come. I love chipotle but this was the most depressing visit ever. I'll stick to your other locations.",
"I have never seen a smaller chipotle burrito than the one that was served to me today. Half portions than what is normal. A few weeks ago this location was 5 stars to me so I hope it was just an ignorant new hire. If so, then I will update my review next visit. If this is a corporate move, however, chipotle will lose my business.",
"Beware the new hires but when a pro handles the portions you'll get the great quality food chipotle is known for."

"Went in as a group of 6 moms with multiple toddlers... we all agreed these were delicious! \n\nI ordered cream cheese frosting topped with fresh strawberries. Cream cheese was light and tasty, cinnamon roll was soft and fresh. \n\nOthers at our table were a fan of the peanut butter on top of their cinnamon roll. Peanut butter tasted as if it were homemade. \n\nI'd love to try it again... you know... to make sure it's just as yummy!",
"Tried this for breakfast, cause calories on Saturdays don't count. I was very pleasently surprised. There were lots of different flavors of frosting and toppings. I ended up getting the macadamia nut frosting with strawberries and blueberries. There was just enough frosting to get some in every bit. But not to much where your gaging on the sweetness. The rolls were warm and fluffy and had the perfect amount of cinnamon. Definitely will be trying this place again. The only downside is that they only have outdoor seating. And the tables do not have heaters. We ended up meandering to another restaurant and buying coffee so we could sit there.",
"People with a sweet tooth can rejoice! You have a new option to satisfy those cravings and it's Cinnaholic located in The Village at Meridian. \n\nYou start with a basic vegan cinnamon roll. Yes, you read that correctly, no animal products are used in the making of this delectable delight. \n\nThen you add your frosting(s) and your toppings, ranging from fresh fruit, to brownie bites, to pretzel sticks, or from any of there other 20+ toppings and frosting flavors. Try the peanut butter with the brownie bites. \n\nThe roll is served hot and it's delicious. You can customize it however you see fit and there are thousands of possibilities.\n\nDefinitely worth the visit, especially after dining in The Village; seeing a movie; or just a reward for a job well done.",
"My sister, my great niece were at the Village and thought we'd give Cinnaholic's a try. I sure am glad we bought the mini cinnamon rolls but wish we hadn't bought any. The bread in the cinnamon rolls was dry (either cooked too long or stale), there was hardly any cinnamon filling and the toppings were horrible. Mine was supposed to be a standard cream cheese topping but it didn't taste like there was any cream cheese in it. Maybe they gave me the wrong topping because it tastes like coconut. My sister got maple flavored which she did not like. The 6 year old ate her cotton candy frosting but we did not like it. To say the least, we scraped off all the toppings and still didn't eat all of the rolls. Perhaps this was a fluke but I seriously doubt we will come back to find out. Sorry. I don't like writing bad reviews.",
"Got the Old Skool Roll and absolutely loved it. Bun was fresh and the frosting was deliciously fluffy! I'll definitely be back for more. Can't wait to customize my own roll!",
"Fantastic place! Can't say enough about the awesome food and service. Wonderful company with a great mission.",
"We wanted to like it, but the cinnamon rolls were sub standard. The dough was dry, rolls were small (for the price), service was terrible. We bought the standard roll but it tasted like synthetic strawberries. \n\nThere is a lot of potential in this place, but the product isn't there. Seeing the workers scoop cream cheese out of plastic containers also detracts from the over all experience. \n\nIt can be like the Cold Stone of cinnamon rolls, but it isn't there yet.",
"Don't get me wrong, love the roll. I've only been once but was totally in love with every bite. I've been waiting to try this place since they were a one shop place in California and I lived all the way on the east coast. They are most definitely better than their Cinna competition.\n\nI didn't pay attention to the assembling process so I can't comment there but the roll came out looking lovely imo.\n\nWhat keeps this place from being a 5 star for me is definitely customer service, like others have posted, it's totally flat. \n\nThis store in particular is in a place where people for the most part expect a step above the rest so hopefully they will bring it a little more.",
"As far as the cinnamon rolls go I was very happy and will definitely come back. It was warm, soft and delicious! So 5 stars for the cinnamon roll. I'd also say 5 stars for service. They were kind and happy people. I'm giving this an official 4 star review because I think the actual space is lacking. It was not a very pretty store at first impression. It is very small and oddly laid out. There is also no where to sit inside, so I ate on a bench outside in the wind. Not bad, just not ideal. Overall, delicious cinnamon rolls and that's what counts I guess!",
"Second visit was definitely different from the first, some things better and some not.\n\nCustomer service was definitely more friendly and chatty this time. Took time to go over and explain away to the friend with me regarding any questions she had.\n\nThe bun I had this time was nowhere near as good as the first. I ordered raspberry icing with chocolate drizzle and fresh raspberries.The chocolate sauce is kinda low grade Hershey syrup type stuff. The raspberry icing was kinda runny and meh. Fresh raspberries are always good. Bun itself was dry. Ate half and put it my fridge and it ended up in the garbage. Just had no desire to finish. \n\nFriend got chai icing and fresh fruit with caramel. Hers looked better but I hate chai flavor so didn't try it.\n\nMy friends bun went the same way as mine. Total bummer considering she was in town and I talked this place up big.. :/\n\nWhere is the big fluffy icing I see in their ads? Both times I've been now the icing is runny. Am I ordering the wrong thing? Don't get me wrong, the cake batter icing is very good but neither icing I've tried so far looks like the giant cloud of icing in their pics..\n\nGoing to try again sometime.."

"Looking for a good dessert place after dinner on a Saturday evening. Decided to try out Crust N Fire.... GREAT DECISION!!! I ordered thr Nutella bannana pizza and IT WAS GREAT!! The young man that made the pizza was clean, the pizza was warm and fresh. The restaurant itself was very clean and the staff were SUPER HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY!!! I will definitely be going back to enjoy more items off the menu!! Welcome to the neighborhood!!!",
"We have ordered 2x from them- take out. The first time, The General Tso pizza did not have the almond slices on it. No big deal as the pizza was still amazing if you like spicy. The whiskey burger, ordered well done was not cooked through/evenly- very pink in areas and well in others. A bit if almost raw as well. We just cooked the burger a few minutes in the oven.\nOrdered same thing last night. Gen Tso pizza was perfect and so good! Again the whiskey Burger was not well done and was very pink throughout it. I again cooked it in my own oven. Otherwise it is an amazing Burger. I will have to mention it the next time I order",
"Like woah on the burgers. So nice to have takeout burgers that come with fries and are fancy. Truffle oil fancy. Cooked perfectly to my specification and very fresh. Dad ordered a regular pizza a few days later and was blown away. Disappointed they don't have pasta dishes, but can't wait to try more. Also, the delivery driver was super nice, we talked cars and was very sweet. Check it out!",
"I rarely leave reviews but this is my new fave place. Its not your typical greasy pizza place. They actually have some healthy options...and get this- the healthy options actually taste good. *gasp* I dined in when they were just 3 days old and the decor is eye-catching but not distracting. More importantly, the food is PHENOMENAL. I order takeout about once (sometimes twice...oops) a week. I have not had a bad meal yet. I'm working on trying different things on the menu but I have a few staples already- their hand cut Jersey fries, the mild wings, and the crust and fire bowl. I had their truffle burger last week and it was AMAZING. I've become a regular customer very quickly...I love this place.",
"I had the chicken caprese wrap and my husband had a grilled chicken wrap. Both were delicious as were the fries. The customer service is very friendly! The only reason I took away one star is is because they're still in need of working out some of the kinks. For example, having to ask for napkins, not having a regular condiment such as mustard (only honey mustard). We had a groupon so it was a fabulous way to try it out. We will be back to try the pizza!",
"This 5 star review is only for the pizza!This is all we've had so far from Crust n Fire. Their brick oven pizza are delicious! The pancetta is my favorite but my boyfriend loves their crust&fire and parma. Their pizza reminds me of what we had in Italy!",
"Love it here! They have just opened near our house and we order food from them almost weekly! Love the crust and fire chicken wrap, all salads and pizzas!! Great variety and have never made a mistake with our order.",
"New place and lovely ambience. Friendly staff and delicious pizza's. Ordered the General Tso's pizza , the perfect quantity , tangy and delicious! Will surely order from this place again.",
"I ordered take out a few weeks ago. I got wings which were very good. I also ordered the crab fries which were way over seasoned with old bay. To the point where I had about 3 and tossed the rest. I private messaged them on Fb and they still have not replied back. If you are gonna be part of social media and promote your business you are gonna need to reply to customers concerns amd comments.",
"The food is good but if you order takeout, make sure you check that your order is correct. In 3 out of 4 trips there was something wrong. Its annoying to have to open the bag and then open the fry containers to see if they enclosed the proper items while you are in your car before you go home. I had to return to the store today to get sauce for the fries (supposed to come with sauce) and dressing and celery for the wings. They were apologetic, but I hope they are more careful in the future."

"Find family-owned Ariana in Old City. Less than a decade old (8 years to be exact), the small interior is so comfortable it appears older. The front of the restaurant has a traditional seating area. To sit there, you need four people and a reservation. The Arabic and Indian (Hindi?) music we heard was good. Occasionally the CD being played would skip.\n\nWe arrived around 7:15pm on a Tuesday and seated right away. Maybe 3 of the 15 tables were occupied.\n\nA light near our table flickered every so often, perhaps triggered by kitchen appliances wired to the same circuit.\n\nTheir menu seems to be less expensive than other Afghani restaurants in the area. My friend and I shared a sampler ($8.5). The combination let us choose a trio of dishes. We asked for a random selection, without meat. When prompted, she told us what we had on our plate:\n1. Aashak - steamed scallion-filled dumplings topped with a spicy yogurt sauce, sprinkled with mint. This is definitely an acquired taste - I believe I've had a Chinese dish very similar to this.\n2. Sambosa - fried pastry stuffed with chick peas, potatoes, and spices and an Afghani sauce.\n3. Bulanee Gandana - turnover stuffed with scallons, herbs, and spices.\n4. Bulanee Kachalou - turnover stuffed with potatos, onions, and spices. (I guess we got an extra item!)\n\nA spicy green chutney and a white yogurt was served with everything.\n\nI ordered the Ariana kababs (14.25), per our server's recommendation. I received two skewers of lamb, chicken, and beef, served with brown Basmati rice. I omitted the chicken since I wasn't in the mood for any. My friend ordered chalow facilliya (9.25), which was green beans cooked with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices. It was served with white Basmati rice. Both were served with Afghani bread and salad. The salad was a garden salad with a cool yogurt dressing.\n\nI asked for my dish to be spicy but it came out only a little tangy. The beef was tough. I ordered a cup of chai - Afghan green tea ($1) - to wash it all down.\n\nWe shared a Sheeryak ice cream (3.75) for dessert. The ice cream was made in an Afghani style. All desserts are made in-house. Tasted like roses!\n\nWorth a try.",
"Love this place- get #16 sweet orangey rice with lamb- I just wish there were a few more lamb chunks. I love the salad beforehand too, and I also recomment the eggplant veggie dishes, pumpkin too. Always incredible service here and the owner personally thanks you for coming. Bring your student advantage card and get 20% off!",
"My first time at an Afghan restaurant, and I was quite pleased. The atmosphere was really cozy, and we were seated as soon as we walked in. Wasn't busy at all when we got there, but picked up a bit as we ate. The food was good, and I really liked the samosas we got as starters. My dining partner got sweet doogh as well, which was excellent! The Afghan iced tea was good too, the cardamom wasn't too strong at all. So overall, I'd definitely go again.",
"After hitting an Obama rally in Vernon Park, where we didn't see anything but fast food, my sister and I wandered Old City to find some good eats. We saw a lot of bar restaurants or rather expensive options. Ariana was the first place we saw that had somewhat healthy food and reasonable prices.\n\nWe started with the Afghan iced tea - which was exactly what we were looking for: unsweetened but flavored with cardamom and lemon. We ordered the eggplant, yogurt and tomato meat sauce side dish. We loved it so much, we ordered a second serving.\n\nFor entree, we both ordered a kabob: me the lamb and she the fish for only $7.95 (lunch prices, but ridiculously cheap for a tourist area on a weekend in the city!). The fish was salmon and it was grilled perfectly: soft in the center, cooked on the edges. It had a delicious spiced sauce. My lamb was also grilled perfectly - still pink in the middle - with a mildly spicy sauce. And the meal came with a decently-sized portion of salad.\n\nThe front window of the restaurant has a traditional table setting with low tables and pillows and is made for a group of about 6 people. So if you're bringing a group or family here, ask for that table for a more authentic experience.",
"Cute little place where you can linger over late lunch with a friend without being interrupted. Pleasant dining room, interesting food and friendly non-obtrusive service. I loved everything about it.",
"I'd long wanted to visit one of the Afghani restararaunts near Chestnut and 2nd, and Arian's 20% discount for Ritz moviegoers made the choice between them simple. I ordered the chalaw kadu, sauteed pumpkin with yogurt sauce and a bit of spice, served with basmati rice. The pumpkin was quite good, and had a sort of comfort food vibe. I ate the leftovers the next day with a calypso hot sauce, and it was even better.\n\nI also had an order of bulanee gandana, a \"turnover\" filled with scallions and spices, served with a homemade yogurt dipping sauce. The outside of the fritter was my favorite part - surprisingly light and crispy, though it broke apart easily and had trouble containing the fried scallions.\n\nOverall our meal was quite nice, and I'm glad that I was able to try something new, but the menu is perhaps a bit pricey (especially for vegetarians) when you take into account the ingredients and smaller serving sizes.",
"Living in West Philadelphia has been a great way to branch out and try new very distinct ethnic cusine. But then again since the main restaurants within walking distance of me are Ethiopian, Indian, and Vietnamese it goes without saying. but Afghan food is something I've known of that exists in Philly that I hadn't have gotten around to trying. So when a friend finally suggested it during a First Friday I welcomed the idea with open arms.\n\nOverall I loved my experience, but compared to the similar meal offerings that I'm used to, I just felt that something was missing overall. While this three star review doesn't at at all represent the quality of food, or the amazing green tea chai that I had, I just felt that the atmosphere, service, and a VERY little bit of the entree presentation merited it.\n\nfor an appetizer I had the Aash-e-Dal soup which was a bountiful plethora of lentils and onions smothered in Afghan spices and a meat sauce. while the spices were wonderful, the rest just left off a lot to be desired. for an entree i went with the Sabzi Chalow because I was loving the idea of lamb smothered in spinach and black eyed peas. once again, while I certainly enjoyed the offering, I just didn't like it compared to what I've had that's similar.\n\nOverall while Ariana is a dining experience that I'd recommend, at least for the sake of saying that you've done afghan food, I'm also inclined to say that theres to many places out there that do similar better. Overall I'd rather have an Ethiopian meal at Era or Goijo with a heaping pile of nan, the same cup of chai (or a beer), and the smaller price tag. While Ariana was essentially almost the same, it was also the more expensive, only without the nan. So tothat I'd be foolish to say that you can't come across better.",
"Zabiha for those of you who follow Z-Club (i.e similar to Kosher). I get the Kabobs every time I go, and I must say, their blend of marinade is excellent! It's a relatively simple restaurant in an historic part of town. The waitress looks like Selma Hayek!! There are two tables covered in Afghan decor that makes the experience of eating Afghani food much more cultural. Nice to go to with a group of friends. Gave it 4 starts because the service was a bit on the slow side (but that's only because 3 people are running the show....pretty impressive actually). GO!",
"I love Ariana - and always order the same thing. Chalaw kadu. I wish I could have some now and am wondering how I can make my own!",
"This is my go-to place when I have visitors in the city. The Afghan food is something a little different but is very approachable. And Ariana's does it right! A couple can eat here for easily $35 including tip. My favorites include - Appetizers/Sides: Aashak, Burandee Kadu, and Buranee Badenjan (you can pick three as a sampler kind of thing) Entrees: Lamb Corma, Norange Palow, and Badenjan Chalow. Go for the lamb over chicken, it is so tender! Also, they have delicious ice cream that is definately worth trying. The service is very unassuming but great. It is also a BYO, so don't forget a bottle of wine. Side note: if you have a group of four, ask for the table in the window. It is traditional style dining (sitting cross legged on the floor)."

"New owners recently bought the former Parthenon and converted it into Usual Suspects, a bar and restaurant that gained quick appeal among a Broad Ripple crowd looking for both new dining and night life options. Usual Suspects has all you need: a great bar and staff, very good food that is hardly in the 'bar food' category, and a clean, modern décor that has a great feel. One can even dine outside in the warm months and gain a visual on the Broad Ripple street traffic. Located next to the alley on Guilford, in between Broad Ripple Avenue and Westfield, right above the Casba Bar, Usual Suspects is nestled perfectly into a spot that is great during the evening, as well as at night when the bar crowds hit the streets. \n\nFor food, I definitely recommend the chips and salsa, which comes with 3 different salsas that are all excellent. You'll quickly crave more, and if you're a compulsive chips and salsa eater like I am, you'll risk stuffing yourself with the south-of-the-border delight. The Asian chicken salad is also excellent. \n\nThe bar has the full spread of liquor, beer and wine, and on weekend nights packs the house with the slightly more mature Broad Ripple nightlife crowd, or at least a crowd that wants a bar, and not a club, scene. Usual definitely attracts a crowd that tends to be well-off, well-dressed and slightly more sophisticated than some of the wannabe \n\nAbercrombie models that frequent some of the other nearby establishments. Do not confuse the above description of the crowd with this place being boring; this bar is definitely a fun spot on the weekends. It's just more social as opposed to dancing, etc. \n\nUsual definitely ranks towards the top of my list in Broad Ripple for both food and bar atmosphere. There is occasionally live music (usually acoustic or solo acts) and word is they may add a DJ on certain weekends.",
"we went here due to FAB Yelp Reviews!!!! After i came down off the sugar High from the chocolate Lava Cake, i recalled that our Handsome & Attentive (even while horns were honking & people blowing kisses @ him) our Waiter Karson delivered the 3 sauces (Avocado Lime, Corn & Black Bean, & Marinara) with chips, along with Hummus with Hot Pita bread (yumO) love the HOMEMADE Dressings, i had the Honey Mustard & the Spicy Peanut dressings, too DIE FOR!!! for the salads (or Shots as i call them)!\nFRESH & GENEROUS are always words i love to hear around the table among friends!!\ni had the Horseradish Mustard Chicken over Fettuccine, had a bite of a friend's (a World Traveler) Shrimp Quesadilla, (who said it was the best thing he'd ever had) YES, I'll be going back for that!!!\nour water & drink glasses were always full (& so where we)\nother favs around the table were the Pulled Pork \"Burgers\" &\nChinese Chicken Salad\nGreat Food, Great Friends, Great Service, Great View, Great Value, \ni couldn't wish for anything more",
"This place is great during the day and at night. Food is excellent and well prepared. Service was polite on the ball during the entire meal. Was with a large group12+, bill was split up, without asking. Go for a later dinner and stay for the nightlife, will not be disappointed.",
"Three words: open past 3. Thats all I needed to know. When The Red Room closed we went on a hunt for Broad Ripple's after hours drinking spots and we stumbled (literally) past the Usual Suspects and the door guy yelled out \"only place in Broad Ripple open past 3!\" To which we immediately pulled a stumble-u-turn and went inside. No cover, no problem. \n\nWe didn't eat any food here but everything looked ok to me. The inside is a good size and though it wasn't crowded there were certainly a fair number of people still looking to party and have a good time. Has that 80s nightclub feel, mostly white, big bar that covers nearly an entire wall, some secluded tables for the people not looking to socialize. \n\nWe ordered a few beers and had a great time. There was some outdoor seating but I don't think anyone was outside. I can't even tell you where this place is located, but if you're out late in Broad Ripple and don't want the night to end, swing on by the Usual Suspects and have another round.",
"When I walked by this place once I read, \"fish in a bag,\" on their sandwich board; that's not going to draw me...if it draws you...please let me know who you are, and what you are. Nor does it jive with the 90210 (the show) feel. It looks like a place that asked themselves, \"would Kelly & Dylan dine here?\"\n\nFinally the cocktail of life shook just the right way to get me here...jet lagged, late Friday night dinner, and this place's \"jerk chicken,\" got me in the door. \n\nThe environment is vastly more comfortable than expected -- space in Broadripple is limited & they don't mind putting in half the amount of tables they could...plenty of elbow room. \n\nNow...that patio is another story...seems stuffy like a twice-baked potato out there. \n\nThe service was as dry as the chicken. The server was just all business...I don't know...it's around 9pm on a Friday...you'd think the service would be, if not steady, just in good spirits...instead he was all business. Granted, being all business has its benefits of taking care of it all, but it was just boring -- compared to the lively atmosphere. \n\nThe server's values are murky: he offered us oil & hot sauce plate amazingness with our pita/hummus, and I made sure it was at no cost, then he brought out more pita and it was eventually charged on the bill (though I had to ask to not include it; sure, call me Stickler). \n\nThe jerk chicken was a husky, dry, giant steak. To me, Jamaica-traveled, should be on the bone, and far from dry. This was Hoosier-ized with sides of beans & carrots & potatoes that no one would eat. It's these veggies that give kids reasons to never eat a healthy diet.\n\nNow...having said this...the place really is a beautiful balance of liveliness and romance for dinner; and that's hard to find. \n\nI'd be back to this place, around the same time too (bordering late night bar crowd) to keep it casual. However, I'd make sure I don't have the same server, because well he reeks of midday workday all-business attitude, and that frustrates a Friday night diner.\n\nAnd, go late to see the Dylan McKay wannabes -- it's funny -- when they know their infinitely, always Brandon Walsh that may as well be showing up with Brenda.",
"Very yummy food and wine, great atmosphere!! Super nice servers and bartenders. One of my broadripple faves :)",
"One of the owners, Nancy, was extremely rude and very unprofessional. She definitely put a damper on my experience. However, the wait staff is awesome! Great service. Poor ownership.",
"This would not be my typical hang out on a weekend BUT I went early for dinner and it was very good. I had the risotto and tasted the pork osso bucco..think that's what it's called..and they were both great. I suggest to go early and avoid the \"Usual Crowd\".",
"We had the fish, snapper and walleye. Walleye and potatoes were flavorless and boring. Snapper was the same. Both agreed the veggies were the best part of the meal. Won't go back. Go to the Corner Wine bar or Brugge if you want better food.",
"I was quite delighted at my first experience here. A Saturday evening, around 8:30pm, and they were very quiet with only one or two tables seated. We had a friendly and attentive server, good food, and prices were very reasonable. So when my father was in town, we decided this would be the place to satisfy his dietary restrictions.\n\nMy second experience was mixed. Both times, I was able to try the \"Osso Bucco\", an item the menu touts as award winning. It is tasty, but be forewarned that it is not the traditional cross cut veal shank, but instead a quite sizeable pork shank, with meat that does seem to fall off the bone. The accompanying risotto is also ample and filling, although overseasoned, as a little less might allow the more delicate mushroom flavors to come through. Mac and cheese was very tasty, and the shrimp stuffed quesadilla had a nice spicy-sweet aioli inside of it. However, I did not at all enjoy the grilled lamb and potato kabobs with pita. There was a char on the pita which was all I could taste, and there was no seasoning at all on the kabob ingredients, which just tasted bland. The lamb chunks were full of fatty and connective tissue, so I had to stop eating at the end of the first skewer. Whether it was the quality or type of cut, the lamb that ended up on my skewer was not a good choice for grilling, perhaps better as a braised dish. \n\nAlthough I understand these things can happen, I was frustrated trying to get the attention of our server to indicate this. Twice I started speaking to him but he was dashing away from the table so quickly he didn't hear me. Also the hostess took my plate away, with only 1 of the 3 skewers missing, but she didn't inquire as to the quality of the dish. So I was pretty let down at this second experience. \n\nHowever, the prices are reasonable, quantities are quite ample, and the service the first time were good enough, that I would return again if the situation arose. However, there are too many other good places around for me to seek this one out."

"I hate to be too positive but there is some seriously good chow at this take out owned by the Di Paolo family from Valle San Giovanni (www.vallesangiovanni.com) in the Abruzzo Region of Italy. Bring home a pizza and some cheesesteaks and you will dining so well your neighbors will be rushing over to your house to steal your dinner. But don't let them....keep it for yourself and your honey. Mangia...!!",
"Stumbled upon this place as we were driving the turnpike. Great cheesesteaks, nice deli-type setting, and good Italian grocery selection. All very close to the turnpike!\n\nI started to order two cheesesteaks for my husband and me, but the woman behind the counter, seeing that I was new, asked me if I knew how large they were. Thank goodness she did, because a regular sandwich is about a foot long. Maybe more. It was huge!\n\nThe sandwich was great: good steak, soft bread, nice veggies, and plenty messy. We ate it with some sodas at one of the tables in the front. Cleaning ourselves up was no problem, as the deli has a very clean and well-kept restroom. \n\nAlthough we didn't try any of these, also on offer were pizzas, other sandwiches, and a pretty nice selection of Italian grocery items (canned goods, pastas, panettone, cannoli, etc.). This place was a great respite from the monotony of the drive, and the boring food of the service areas. Highly recommended.",
"I have eaten thousands of cheesesteaks in my life. I work in the city and have tried just about everywhere in South Philly. BEST place, hands-down. I will not admit this to my boyfriend who grew up in Pennsville, however. :)\n\nIf you're lucky enough to live locally, opt for delivery. There's not much of a place to sit, but honestly, I would sit on the sidewalk to just taste that nirvana again!",
"This is the place for seriously good eats in Pennsville, New Jersey. \n\nThe sheer quantity of food for the price is off the scales. The pizza, the hoagies, the sides, they are so well priced. Not only that, there is a further huge selection of good sitting out for order- steak strombolis, pepperoni breads, Italian good (like stuffed pepper, marinated mozzarella, etc etc) just waiting to be gobbled up. Something that would cost close to ten bucks in the city is under $4 here. You just cant beat that. \n\nBut it isnt just the bargain-basement prices that make Italian Kitchen special. It is also the quality. Everything is made WELL here. The sad fact is that most of the hoagies, cheesesteaks and pizzas in South philly cannot even be mentioned in the same BREATH as Italian Kitchen. Places like this find a niche and go with it, whereas in the city it is a clusterfuck of crap all rolled up and sold as regional cuisine. Consequently, everyones quality goes down. That's why speciality stores are better in the city (ie Vietnamese, Italian pastries, Mexican food) and generic \"American\" tends to shine in the burbs. \n\nI dont miss much about Salem Coutny, but places like Italian Kitchen make me drool whenever I visit family.",
"A great place to eat!!! Great prices for the amount of food you get. I recommend the large cheesesteaks with mushroom and onions!!! For $11.75 for a 22-24 inch sub, and there not cheep on the meat either!!!",
"Adam L. I get it now that you are a former local who left the area behind, and although I do not agree with your opinion of Pennsville, you and I are brothers of the Belly. I can not agree with you more about how great this place is. I have eaten cheese steaks in every possible location and we both know the secret. The BEST Philly cheese steaks are NOT from philly, they are from South Jersey and the Italian Kitchen is proof. The food is great, cheap and served by friendly locals.",
"Was pretty impressed for a place in the middle of nowhere. Pizza, cheesesteak, and Italian hoagies were all better than average. Not the best in the world, but I can see why they pack 'em in with so few other options around.",
"Bang for your buck. $10 for a large cheesesteak (20 inches) fed my family of four (two little ones) easily. On top of that it was pretty good.\n\nWe also had a grilled cheese sandwich which was very good.\n\nNice little place, people are nice, definitely good to drop by if your near the area.",
"Awesome Turkey Sub! We found this place on Yelp on a trip from Mass. to DC. Everyone was so friendly and when we told them that we found them on yelp, they were so excited and gave us several free Canolis! This place feels very homey and small town which gives it some charm. This will definitely become a regular place for my family and I on our trip to places up north! Way better than eating at a New Jersey turnpike rest stop. It's not that far off the beaten track.",
"This place is great for quick delicious extremely well priced authentic italian food. The people working there are extremely friendly and helpful. This place is no frills and nit where youd want to bring a date, but if you are in the mood for some serious eating with no hassle stop by here, be prepared for mess and dont wear your good clothes, i had to use my tie for a napkin like an 17th century english nobleman after mycalzone dripped all over me. I kept eating but i had to throw my tie away, still well worth it..."

"Fast casual dining experience, the food was decent and freshly made to order. I would put this type of restaurant in the same category as Chipotle, definitely a step-up from fast food with healthier options. The soups were a little bit salty but were flavorful and freshly made. The crab avocado melt was very good in my opinion, but was a bit small and lacked the lettuce, onion, etc. The grilled cheese was basic but very good. I wish they offered healthier kids options on the menu.",
"The food came fast. However, the food was just mediocre. And the portions were too small. The kids chicken fingers can with only 2 strips. The panini that I ordered was nothing more than 2 slices of bread and a piece of ham and melted cheese. I'd say it was inexpensive, but because the portions were so small, it ended up being rather over priced.",
"Awesome salads soup and sandwiches great service need more bread choices only have focaccia but other than that good I had the Cuban and harvest chowder plus a strawberry without chocolate by request the strawberry is a nice touch",
"I really, really like Zupas! I am a lover of food that loves big portions; however, the taste here is very good. They make salads taste like they aren't healthy, but are! \nI like the atmosphere, the kindness, and the overall quality of the place top to bottom. I am a fan!",
"As always, the Nuts about Berries.salad is wonderful. Tried the red pepper lobster soup with it tojight. Excellent. They'd Get 5 stars If they improved on the dining accoutraments...ie, silverwsre, napkins and drink cups.",
"I have heard good things about this place and was in the neighborhood so decided to give it a try. I was greeted by smiling faces behind the counter. They were quick to explain their style: fresh made salads, soups, and sandwiches, that are all made fresh right in front of you. There is a place to stand where you can look through the easy to read-and very helpful menu. I liked this because I didn't feel rushed or like I was in someone else's way who was ready to order. Every item on the menu has a picture and a detailed description of what ingredients they contained. I am a visual person so really liked this!\nI decided on the kale and quinoa salad. The menu described the ingredients as: house shredded Tuscan black kale, house made fresh herb vinaigrette, quinoa, blueberries, grapes, shaved Parmesan cheese, dried Bing cherries, and pistachios. They did whip up the salad right then and there and the finished product looked just as enticing as the picture! Once I paid and sat down, there was plenty of seats available in their spacious dining room. Some areas even had easy accessible power outlets so you can feed yourself and your devices! If you don't have time to sit, you can order to go too.\nThe salad was amazing and surpassed any kale or quinoa salad I have ever eaten. All of the ingredients came together to form the perfect symphony of awesomeness. Each entree comes with a slice of French baguette, and chocolate dipped strawberry-both yummy!\nI was impressed by this place and I can't wait to go back to try many of the other tasty-looking choices on the menu!",
"I'm hooked. The first time I went I ordered the sandwich and salad combo. I opted for a build your own salad and chose chopped salad mix and a few of my favorite salad toppings. The chipotle ranch dressing was delightful, and I was very satisfied with my salad. The grilled cheese was made with pesto and four cheese blend with a slice of tomato on panini/ focaccia roll. All in all, a great meal.\n\nThe second time I went, I opted for a full size salad and no sandwich. I got double the salad mix and apparently, double the protein- grilled chicken slices.\nHowever, when I added the additional toppings they seems very sparse. I asked for some of the chopped green and red bell peppers, and received about a tablespoon full of peppers for a big bowl of salad. Similarly, the same undersize portion of black beans was piled in the middle of the salad and looked kind of lost. After paying for my meal I asked the manager about the proportions on the salad as he explained that they doubled the protein and salad mix for the full size salads but did not double the additional toppings. This part, I do not like. I may just bring my own side serving of additional vegetables and chopped bacon to add to my salad just to get additional protein and additional veggies into my salad. I like stretching food to get the best value.\n\nI may start ordering the food \"to go\" as the dining room has the same ambiance as a mall food court. It's chaotic and noisy, and as another reviewer suggested, real forks and knives would be nice. The place to pick up napkins and utensils is right next to where they are wiping off trays and dumping trash and is rather unappetizing.\n\nHowever, I like the overall concept of this restaurant and will be back many times. Good job Zupas!",
"This is our new go-to spot! We love the panini sandwiches, tortilla soup, and strawberry harvest salad! Honestly, when I come here, I deal with the problem of having too much food: they give you a slice of bread and chocolate-covered strawberry! The ingredients are great quality and I always leave feeling satisfied! My only concern is that we go here too much.",
"This place is like a fancy Subway. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The clam chowder was a 3 out of 5. I also had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. It was a 2. Very bland and I think the tomatoes were old. I did like the chocolate strawberry. It was a nice surprise..",
"Awesome soups, salads and sandwiches. I've tried about a third of the menu, and it's was all great. Recommend the Turkey Bacon Avo Sandy, Kale/Quinoa salad, Lobster Bisque.\n\nOnly gripe - PLEASE TURN DOWN THE LIGHTING!\n\nI think I got a tan while dining....."

"All I can say is \"Yummy!!\"\nWe have been going to the Koizi over in Tampa for a year and love to eat there. We found out that they just opened this one in New Port Richey and had to try it out. So we went. The food/menu is exactly the same. The food was awesome I think even better than I expected. The wait staff is still learning which normally happens when a new restaurant opens. But all in all we still had a great time and we for sure will be back. 5 stars all the way.",
"Everything was yummy. We had 5 different rolls, and they were all very good. See the pics. Jessica, the manager came to check on us and was very friendly and answered all our questions. I can't wait to come back for dinner, more extensive menu including sashimi. Lunch was good price at 9.95 includes all stuff on lunch menu, hibachi, sushi, soups, etc.\nJessica said dinner is 17.95, and recommended we try the white Christmas roll and the sexy roll on the dinner menu.\nMy favorite lunch rolls were the koizi roll and the dancing Krabi rolls.",
"Very glad to see Koizi add a location in New Port Richey. Excellent food and value. All you can eat and delivered fresh to your table. Highly recommend!",
"Overall the experience was only okay the food was okay the service was okay. I would also like to touch on the point that it is against the rules for only one person at the table to order the all-you-can-eat if one person orders it everybody has to order it which is a ridiculous if you ask me",
"Our first time here and everything was great! Personal favorite was Rock & Roll. We tried one of each of the specialty rolls and can't say any were bad. Dylan was our server and she was awesome. The sushi chefs were quick in making our rolls and the whole experience was great. Highly recommend this place. So glad it opened in Trinity!",
"Went there today with my friend to try their all you can eat lunch. I got a flier in the mail and was very excited to have an all you can eat sushi restaurant close by. The sushi was actually pretty good not the best but for the money you can't beat its value. I am disappointed in how half of what I wanted from the flier they mailed out to me wasn't available at lunch time so that was a real downer. Then when we got our sushi they didn't serve it to us with a bowl for our soy sauce and there was no wasabi and ginger (not that I eat it but it's normal for it to come with your sushi) and no chopsticks. We had to wait for someone to bring us them and when they did they only brought out for my friend not myself even though I said I ordered sushi too but was waiting for it to be served. The time it took was also pretty long but they were busy most tables were full so it was understandable. I loved how kids under 4 eat free and they had kids menu with french fries and chicken tenders so even better value. So my son and I both ate for only $12 with tip.\n\nIn the end I gave this place a 3 out of 5 because the service could have been better (not giving soy sauce bowls and chopsticks unless asked is disappointing for a sushi restaurant) and the fact that the flier was deciding on how you only get less than half the dinner menu at lunch. I will go again next time for dinner so I can try their specialty rolls and eat my favorite rolls that weren't available to me at lunch.",
"Food from the Grill is fresh and very good. I am a sushi addict and very disappointed when my sushi is ready in a few seconds and those who love sushi know when it is fresh. They are keeping them in a fridge until you order then cut and put on plates so what could be amazing sushi is dry and chewy. Is really sad and a waste. I will not be coming back.",
"Worst experience ever. ... \nArrived at 830... for endless hibachi and sushi. ..at\n9 we were told the kitchen was closed ...our server messed up or orders and never said that the kitchen was going to close and he should have told us so we could have placed additional orders to feed us. We complained and asked for the manager. Manager mike (don't think it was his real name) offered to take 50% off the bill. ...as they continued to rack the chairs around us and dim the lights while we were still eating we asked for the owners name and manager mike said he was the owner. ...clearly he wasn't. He also kept on smirking while dealing with us. ....it was the worst service ever and the second time in my life I left nothing for a tip",
"First time for me and my boyfriend on Sunday. Im not a sushi person however I did try the sweet potato roll and omg it was awesome! My bf tried and ate 6 different types of sushi rolls around 40 pcs lol! He said they were all amazing but the Christmas Roll was his favorite. We had Soup, salad, fried dumplings, Qq balls which are sweet and sour meatballs, Shanghai eggrolls, hibachi steak and shrimp with veggies, noodles and rice. The hibachi was okay I've had better. The steak was overcooked I asked for medium rare, the shrimp were perfect. Not sure if you can get teriyaki added while they cook it like other Japanese hibachi restaurants, definitely need to ask next time. The noodles are rice were kinda bland I had to add soy sauce and the vegetables were undercooked. Plus I had coconut shrimp which needed a little more coconut sauce but was very good and mango chicken to die for! Our waitress was Samantha and she was very friendly.",
"Tried for the first time this weekend and definitely exceeded our expectations. For one price, it's unlimited hibachi, appetizers and sushi. We had several appetizers and the steak, chicken, and shrimp hibachi. All good ! Kids loved it too and under 4 eats free and older kids are only $5. Service was a little slow and could be improved upon."

"I was at the Trappe for a dinner awhile ago - our group was seated upstairs (probably a party of 20?) at a long table. The chief negative (might as well get that out of the way) was service. On the positive side, the jello shots were good, my Tavern Burger ($6) wasn't too shabby (peppers and mushrooms, oh my!), there are a ton of TVs on the walls (we were watching golf that night), ample seating, and live entertainment downstairs that we could hear. Pleasantly enough, it's NOT a dead spot - being down the street from Ursinus College probably doesn't hurt either.\n\nI'd return to enjoy a band and knock back a few drinks. Of course I haven't yet since I don't know enough folks that would actually come out and DRINK with me out in Trappe, PA...",
"During the school year, \"The Trappe\" really has the feel of a college bar (it's about a mile and a half down the road from Ursinus College). Decent selection of draft beers, standard bar fare (burgers, etc.), semi-nasty happy hour buffet. Lots of TVs, pool tables upstairs, some good stuff on the jukebox, and there's usually a band or DJ at night. It's also not a bad place to hit for a quick lunch. Nothing spectacular, though.",
"This place is an average place. Good beer, good food, but nothing that leaves you screaming for more. Its a nice laid back townie sort of place for lunch and in the afternoon.\n\nThe place does have a nice history though. Back in the day travelers between Philly and Allentown would stop here for the night. Thusly their wives would call it the Trap. Eventually a town popped up there. They added a \"pe\" to make it seem like they didn't name the town after the inn. Just kidding. I don't know if that's true, I just wanted to write some more about this place.",
"Pretty basic place to grab a beer and not venture too far from the bar finger-food items off the menu. I tried the pork fajitas which was apparently out of the league of the kitchen. The pork was tough and the onions and peppers where limp and mushy, not sizzling. Wife's chicken wrap was OK, but not necessarily memorable. \n\nThe layout is a bit odd and it can get pretty loud when it gets crowded.\n\nIf you want decent beer, food and a much better atmosphere, go to Sly Fox or Iron hill a few miles away. If however, you are looking for a local watering hole, this is your place.",
"Awesome food, never had anything bad from there. I've had everything from Prime Rib which I think is the best around, to seafood. Monday they have AYCE crablegs, Tuesdays Strip Steaks, Wed Lobster, Thurs RIbs and the other specials. Jake is the chef and he really knows his stuff. For the price you can't beat the Trappe. Wings are good, great sandwiches, different other specials every night. \n\nService is above average most of the time. I love the out door deck, i can't wait till it cools down a little to enjoy it more. They have tons of beers on tap, tons of TV's. It's great place to watch the games.",
"It's a sports bar, what more needs to be said. If your looking for fine dining, go elsewhere. Their sandwiches are large and well made. I have never gotten a bad meal but it is run of the mill bar food. It is a great place to go for lunch or after work. Staff is good. Sometimes like all business they get short handed and that is when you have troubles.",
"A bit sleazy, but whatever - some folks like their bars like they like their women. Met my cousin there for a few beers when I was back in PA visiting family (which they were able to supply). There was a terrible cover band playing, I think their name was the Flaming Buttholes, but I cant remember exactly. The deck out back is kind of badass though, would be cool to hang out there during summer.",
"I've eaten here a number of times with friends. The Trappe is a great example of a place that is smack dab in the middle of the road, it doesn't suck but it isn't exceptional either. \n\nThe building is old and the interior of the restaurant/bar is VERY dimly lit. It isn't a bad looking place and the bar area has a somewhat nostalgic feel to it but overall it does feel like it could use a pick-me-up makeover.\n\nEverything on the menu is the epitome of bar food quality or what I like to call belly filler, it's not horrible but it isn't that great either. I've had food I thought was above average and then I've had food that was somewhat disappointing. \n\nService is usually friendly and reliable. \n\nPrices on food and drinks are about what you'd expect. I think that they tend to put more alcohol in the mixed drinks here than a lot of bars do so that's a definite plus.\n\nFor years the Trappe has been the rallying place for Ursinus college students so expect a decent size college age contingent.\n\nTrappe Tavern is a safe bet for a reliable watering hole with food quality you'd expect at the same.",
"Let's start with the good and get that out of the way - the burgers are huge, and they actually cook them to an accurate amount of doneness ordered (\"medium\" is legit). But their burgers don't come with toppings or a side of fries (they cheap out and give you chips and two tiny slivers of a pickle). If you dare desire lettuce, onions, or any other toppings be prepared to be charged more. And there is no warning of this in the menu or offered by your waitress. Otherwise the fries are terrible, the beer selection boring and predictable, and the waitresses friendly and efficient. Not a place I'd come back to if it can be avoided.",
"My BFF Sam took me here so I could experience some local \"flavor\". We took a seat at the bar right in front of the taps. It still took 10 minutes to get the bar keeps (who it turns out is the manager) attention. I got a #9 beer (I don't know the name, it has a 9 on the handle and is VERY good) and she got a rum and coke. We chugged, as is our way. 15 minutes later we were STILL waiting for the manager (who was less than 2 feet from us) to tear himself away from the Phillies game and take our order. We got more drinks and cheese fries and steamers. Manager dude brought them out without a word 15 minutes later. They were pretty good but the service put us in a bad mood. We decided we'd had enough of Managers 'tude and moved out to the patio. We got served RIGHT AWAY and the bartendress was super nice! If my BFF doesn't get her ass home soon and I MUST go visit her again, I'd come back here as long as we don't have do deal with Manager Jerkweed!"

"Great Thai and Laotian food has come to Kensington Avenue in East Kensington! The large menu has a lot to choose from. \n\nMy significant other and I shared the vegetarian lettuce wraps. He had the green curry shrimp and I had the king soup, a red curry soup with vermicelli noodles. \n\nEverything was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Great addition to the area.\n\nBYOB.",
"Went for lunch yesterday. The menu is a great mix of Thai and Viet dishes, but had to start by trying their Laotian specialties.\n\nThey did not disappoint. The Khao Poon and Sai Gawk were both delicious, with complex layers of texture and flavor.\n\nThis is definitely a welcome addition to the growing Asian eateries north of Market, that I've sorely missed from living in South Philly. Can't wait to return to try the rest of the menu.",
"Glad to see this West Philly favorite now has another location in Kensington. Great food at a very reasonable price. The new location has a more modern feel than the original. The staff is friendly and again, the food is great. \n\nStand out dishes:\nBeef Jerky\nLaotian Sausage",
"Vientiane Bistro is great. It's Laotian cuisine accessible to lots of folks including vegetarian/vegan. Located directly across the street from Thang Long on Kensington Ave... so parking is usually easy. Wish there were more bike parking though.\n\nStaff was great, we were the only table seated at 5:30 opening weekend and they played lullabies on the speakers for the babies in our party! Owned by a lovely family, same folks as the Vientiane Cafe in West Philly. \n\nBYOB and THEY TAKE CARDS (unlike West Philly)\n\nHighly recommend the sticky tamarind appetizer and king soup. Folks i our party obsess over the Green Papaya salad, too.",
"Very disappointed. Lunch specials are only available for dine in so I paid $14 for takeout only to find that my chicken curry was made with tiny pieces of all dark meat and only a small amount of chicken was in the container. All of the curry pictures from the other location have white meat and I have never been served dark meat in a curry before. The curry flavor was good and there were a lot of vegetables, hence the two stars, but not worth the $14. Would try again if some changes are made.",
"Everything we ordered, 6 dishes total (to share) turned out delicious. If you're into authentic Thai/Laos and dont mind eating spicy foods give this place a try you won't be disappointed. And the presentation is IG worthy.",
"Great addition to the neighborhood. Nice, modern interior. Food and service were very good. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Try the sticky tamarind app, good stuff. Byob and they accept credit cards.",
"A very welcome authentic and delicious addition to the neighborhood. \n\nThis is the real thing! We stopped in for the lunch special and were not disappointed. My partner and I were in Vientiane last year. The food here is on par with what we had in Laos.\n\nLove that they cater to vegans and vegetarians and that the food is as mild or spicy as you like. We had the coconut soup and the spicy tom yum soup to start - both excellent. Then the spring roll and the pork dumplings - not so great. They only offered 1 spring roll (though it was very tasty and perfectly cooked) but the pork dumplings were bland and flavorless. However the main courses - chicken with sweet basil sauce for my partner, and the pad kee mao were delicious and nicely sized portions.\n\nOverall? We really enjoyed our meal, the restaurant was very clean and the staff friendly and welcoming and we were surprised that the restaurant was fairly full at lunchtime - always a good sign. Can't wait to eat here again. This will definitely be a go-to spot in the neighborhood.",
"I came here Friday with my friend and order papaya salads, king soup and sticky rice with sausage, it was very delicious, amazing taste! It was so delicious I came two days later with my boyfriend. The place was super clean and comfortable. I will be coming back to this place, my new spot !",
"So excited to get this gem in our neck of the woods! I loved Vientiane when I lived over in W. Philly and squealed with delight when I saw that the family was expanding its business to Kensington. The quality of dishes and friendly staff make this place a regular go to."

"This place is clean, beautifully decorated, and all of the sushi we tried was fresh and delicious. Everyone here was friendly and smiling. We will be back often.",
"Started off with a complimentary clear soup and holiday roll appetizer (which was really tasty) without even asking for them. Staff was exceptional. Our waitress Nina was amazing. The manager Lawrence checked on us several times and made us feel welcome. Sushi was fresh and reasonably priced. Presentation was spectacular! The fried Oreos dessert was delicious. The large hot saki is actually large and the Sapporo beer was in a large can and came with a chilled glass. Nina poured several shots of saki and Sapporo for me. My wife loved the plumb saki that came in a really uniquely chilled bottle. Both our waitress and manger asked our names and introduced themselves personally. Overall a really good dining experience. Highly recommended. We will definitely be returning.",
"Amazing!! Very clean and new....we got a free holiday sushi roll, very tasty. We had habachi and it was awesome. The yummy yummy sauce is on point! We will be back",
"Wow! I am absolutely dumbfounded by how quiet little Spring Hill, FL could land such an absolutely killer sushi restaurant. Check out the pics and come give this place a try; you won't be disappointed. #yumfactor10",
"Very creative, delicious, fresh sushi right on County Line! I recommend the house roll, sweetheart roll, and fire tuna as top picks.",
"Just had lunch there for the first time, started off with complimentary clear soup and holiday roll appetizer, served even before they took our drink order. I had Hibachi Scallop and my daughter had 3 different rolls. The scallop was cooked right. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced. They have an online menu, check it out you will not be disappointed. Don't forget to try the green tea tempura ice cream!",
"Great new addition to Spring Hill. Good food and excellent service! They really go out of their way. And fun... They set up a large table with about 20 or so saki bombs, then invited everyone interested to come do a shot together. Really recommend!",
"First time here and the place was great! Very clean and updated, along with wonderful service! We ordered three rolls, volcano, hwy 17, and the last one I forget lol crazy girl? Cute girl? Something like that if that's helpful but all three were sooooo delicious! Our new favorite place!",
"So happy to have another good sushi option in Spring Hill. My favorite place (Haiku on 19) was closed so we decided to try this place. My friend had the steak hibachi which came with vegetables, noodles, & rice. It was really an outstanding dish. The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The noodles, rice, & vegetables were great too. I had sushi. The regular rolls were a little smaller than I'm used to but they were still good. I had the eel & cucumber, a mango/shrimp roll, & a sweet potatoe roll. I did notice a lot of the rolls seemed Americanized - with mayonnaise and they have the raw vs. cooked rolls split on the menu. I wouldn't say it's authentic Japanese but it was good.",
"So excited to have another healthily and delicious restaurant in Hernando County! Went with a party of five, so we had a nice menu assortment at the table. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the spicy tuna salad which was light (no mayo....finally!) and the goyza. The fancy roll and spicy tuna roll looked terrific. Beautiful plate presentation. They pre-bussed the tables (which is usually a lost step in service at most restaurants around here), filled our drinks without us needing to ask and served the kitchen orders quickly. Sushi took a little longer, but that is to be expected. Excellent job and terrific food! Yea Hernando!\n\nOh....as to the review about size...they do not put a lot of rice in their rolls. I personally prefer less rice so the flavor of the fish is more prominent. That is a personal preference and not deserving of three stars."

"Excellent service with the best chile relleno I have ever had. Prices are fair. I am converting from Casa Vieja to here from now on. Also we found a coupon on restaurant.com for 1/2 off",
"I also found out about this restaurant by using a coupon from Restaurant.com. I love a good plate of Mexican food, and was more than content with the food and service my family and I received at this restaurant. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious (as well as very reasonably priced). I would (and have) recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good meal in the area. Delicious, reasonable, and family friendly!",
"I went with a big group using a restaurant.com coupon. With 9 of us, we pretty much all had something different and everyone really enjoyed what they got. I would say my dish was the least favorite--I had the chili verde with pork. I thought the verde sauce was a little too tart/sour so I wouldn't get it again but I'm not that familiar with verde. All the rest of the food was right on!\n\nThe margaritas were really good, too. Service was great--very friendly. We will come back!!",
"Typical mexican fare, service friendly, and food was good. Nothing great, just typical.",
"Finally found Mexican food in gallatin! Give it a try if you have been looking like I have. I might be over rating it because I am so excited to finally have a Mexican place to not let me down. I will report back after my next meal here to insure it is in fact THAT good.",
"I have been here twice now. The service is friendly and fast. The portions sizes are large. The food has great flavor, the enchiladas mexicanes is flavorful variety of four enchiladas. It comes with a chicken, beef, cheese and bean enchilada. Check it out.",
"The decor is fun and inviting. Staff was readily available and courteous. I had the carne asada and shrimp cocktail. Steak was a little dry but flavorful. Shrimp cocktail was large enough for 3 and was soupy, yet delicious. Oh, the mango margarita wasnt as strong as i'd prefer but it was ok. I will come back to try the mole soon.",
"Went in here before class the other day to grab a bean and cheese burrito to have for dinner on break. Lets just say their bean and cheese burrito was not what I was envisioning, instead of just being wrapped in paper as I expected they were in a container smothered in cheese sauce. Due to the lack of portable convenience I wasn't able to eat until after school, when I finally did I enjoyed it. The cheese sauce is delicious here but the beans could have used a little more flavor and been a touch less runny. The chips and salsa here were good as well. They have the light crispy type of tortilla chips which I enjoy.",
"BEWARE!! My family and I decided to try this restaurant based on reviews posted here. Being only 1 of 2 tables in the restaurant when we arrived, the service seemed to be very good. Food was delivered to our table in a timely manner, but half of the order was forgotten and had to be made after 2 of the meals already came out. After finishing our food, we gave our waitress a restaurant.com certificate we had purchased. The certificate cost $10 and was good for $25 toward your purchase. When the waitress saw the certificate, her attitude completely changed. She took a long time to bring us our check and boxes for our food, no big deal to most, but I was with my 2 young children who were definitely ready to go. When we finally got our check, I noticed an 18% gratuity added. Now, the checks at this place consist of a calculator tape and that is it. You would never know how much anything costs by looking at your check. The 18% gratuity was added inconspicuously after I gave her the certificate. My party consisted of 4 people, myself, my husband, and our 2 children under 4 years old. I couldn't believe a tip was added to our check. My husband had dined her before, and there was no tip added, so clearly it was not a restaurant policy, it was at the waitresses discretion. Also, there was a sign outside of the restaurant when we walked in that stated that fajitas were the daily special at $6.99. On our check, there was nothing for that price, so when I questioned the waitress, she said that was a lunch special only. THEN TAKE THE SIGN DOWN!! I will not be back to this restaurant based on service alone, but on top of that, the food was only average...try Dos Margaritas in Hendersonville, much better service and much better prices!!",
"We have tried several Mexican restaurants in the Gallatin area and this is our favorite.\nWhat sets this place apart is the staff. They have an abundance of energy and are there to give you the best dining experience. \nAn extensive menu covers all your Mexican favorites and a few more. The atmosphere is colorful and festive. Have a good time."

"Wow, now this is a café! You're welcomed with the scent of fresh baked pastries and the rich scent of espresso brewing. The atmosphere is cozy yet spacious with a bit of a bohemian feel to it. Great staff too! The furniture is so cool with long window tables made from the trunks of maple trees. Marble table topped tables Inside and out offer plenty of places to just chill while enjoying a beautiful mug of rich dark espresso cappuccino with firm foam and the absolute best espresso chocolate cookie heavily dusted with confectioners sugar. This will be our new hangout for sure!",
"Wow! The company's name says it all. This coffee company is undeniably Belleairian. (Belleairese?) I've been to the majority of this county's coffee shops and this one is not just another. \nFirstly, its logo is the smartest I've seen in a long while. Perfect graphic design and typography. Classy and simple. Can't pass that by without a mention.\nPlenty of outlets. Plenty of seating--couch and cushioned chairs, a long sturdy dining table, raised bar seating and cafe tables.\nThe furniture, I must say, is FINE! Very Belleair. Marble, iron-wrought, and wood.\nThe music? Classy and bright smooth jazz. So Belleair.\nThe wifi is not kidding around. Multiple wireless routers. Strong signal throughout the place. I just played a video on Youtube and there wasn't a second of buffering time.\nThe space is big and open with big windows and the people are all friendly. \nI asked for a macchiato which wasn't on the menu but they made it for me anyways. I ordered the last egg soufflé which was a perfectly portioned light breakfast. They offered a free sample of some fancy lemonade. It was all great. \nI'm coming back. A lot, though. I'm having a premonition that this coffee house just won a long future of me returning as a repeating customer. This will be where I go to work on my laptop from now on.\nThey are obviously trying to do an exquisite job here, in a town of high standards, and they are succeeding. Exceeding, even. As I type this review the owner is moving about planning enthusiastically some addition to the furniture or a gallery or something. I like this place.\n\nIn summation: this is marvelous.",
"They are finally open!!! A GREAT local coffee shop!\nYummy yummy coffee!!! \nSeriously the fresh local milk they use is delicious! You can taste the difference \nAmazing pastries made on site! Try the raspberry cigar - scrumptious!",
"They nailed it. This place is fantastic. Nestled in the heart of Belleair, Belleair Coffee Company is sure to exceed the high expectations of all Belleair Coffee Addicts. It's got a great vibe; something new; a family-oriented coffee house. My wife and I stopped by on a Friday afternoon with our 3 year old for a couple of espressos. The coffee was as tasteful as the decor. Our son didn't want to leave... he loved the chalkboard walls in the back of the place. It was open and airy, with a great blend of trendy, cozy and modern furnishings and finishings. I can see this being a 1 stop shop for families with kids meeting up during the day, or for the young hipster crowd showing up in the evenings for poetry readings and open mic nights which I believe they are planning on hosting later. Great coffee, great atmosphere, friendly staff and very fair prices. Belleair is lucky to have this gem of a community coffee house.",
"This is a 5-star place. Owner is awesome. Really beautiful inside. And most importantly: the coffee was amazing. The will be my go-to spot whenever I'm out this way.",
"So glad that Chris and Doug have come to the neighborhood! They know their brew, and the coffee and pastries are excellent (an in-house pastry chef - yay!). And they are using local and organic product whenever possible. The space has a great vibe that manages to be stylish yet relaxed at the same time. Best café we've found since relocating here from Manhattan a year ago. They play a great selection of music, and have also given wall space to local artists whose vivid paintings adorn the space. Their devotion to creating a comfy, classy, and healthful café hangout is clear. The staff is cheerful and helpful, and greet you like you're the neighbor they like to chat over the fence with. My husband and I will be regulars.",
"Went in nice interior asked for a cup of coffee they said medium or large I said medium. They poured into a tiny cup eight ounces of coffee. It was terrible like water. $1.80 for a tiny cup of warm water. Go next door to the gas station and get a 16 ounce dunkin donuts coffee for 1.00. I have to say I've drank coffee all over the world this place wins The worst coffee ever. I can buy better tasting coffee at the dollar store! Skip this place.",
"Visiting from Chicago and this was the best coffee in the area, drove over 30 min around there to find it eventually thanks to Yelp. Service was great and friendly, coffee really good. In house pastries.",
"This coffee shop is amazing! There is ample seating and a relaxing / modern atmosphere. The coffee is high quality and the employees are pleasant. It's our new favorite cafe. Must check out!",
"Great atmosphere,excellent coffees and pastries to die for. Real food ,egg soufflé ,spinach pie etc. So friendly and accommodating staff. Sample of tea or beverage everyday. Love this addition to\nthe wonderful independent shopkeepers in Belleair Bluffs. Go!!Enjoy‼"

"I love Tin'House. Their Thai food is super delicious and the sushi is to die for. Don't forget to order Thai tea for a very refreshing taste. Try the padthai and fried rice, you will absolutely love them.",
"Tin's House is must try for excellent authentic Thai food. It is in the same building as the former Sushi House. My wife and I ate there Saturday night and had a lovely evening. It has a nice, dimly lit peaceful setting. We both had the Pad Thai, one with chicken and the other with shrimp. Although we will be more adventurous next time, you cannot go wrong with this! Large portions and it was delicious! We both had leftovers to take home. We also had the spring roll appetizer which we both enjoyed. To complete the meal we ended with the tapioca pearl taro. It is light, with creamy coconut that will leave you wanting more. Overall the prices are very reasonable, it is not too expensive to take the whole family and try several items and just have everyone share and explore the different flavors. Highly recommend, we will certainly be back, often!",
"Great place! The food is so good! highly recommend!!!and definitely will be back! \nIt is a new place in the same building where sushi house used to be. The place is very clean and beautifully decorated. I just came back from Thailand a couple of months ago, and I think this is the best place in town to get the best yummy Thai food:)",
"How is this place not always busy!? Such good sushi! Red and green curry fantastic. Complimentary soup and salad. Service is the kindest most caring in Avon for sure! I'm obsessed!",
"Place is pretty decent. I got the bento lunch box for $12.99 it came with miso soup, seaweed cucumber salad, 1 roll, tempura, and choice of another sushi. It was overall delicious and tasteful. If your in the area and not looking for anything to expensive, check this place out.",
"food was just OK, I have had better and I have had worse. After taking our drink order we had to ask them later to actually bring them to us. The waitress only came to the table 1 time when she took our drink and food order. The rest of the staff brought us our drinks, food, and bill (which we also had to ask for).",
"Great food the service is exquisite and food is amazing. Exactly how you order it. If you don't know what it is just ask they will help you find something you like and it doesn't have to be spicy. Love their sushi!!!!",
"Went there today for the first time. Service was great & food was done fast. We will be back for sure. The Thai food was excellent!",
"Best Thai in Indy! Our family frequently comes here for their great, authentic Thai cuisine. Everything we have ordered has been delicious; especially the Drunken Noodles and Thai Style Grilled Beef. Their service is warm and friendly and their prices are great. I highly recommend this place. Their sushi hasn't been disappointing either. Check it out!",
"We had a groupon for Tin's House, and went for dinner last night. We were very happy with everything we ordered. The sushi was better than expected, priced very reasonably. Our kids love sushi and begged for more once they devoured theirs. The spring roll appetizers were very good as well. We ordered mild massaman curry. The first time at a new Thai place, I always order mild first, because it's usually hot enough for me. In this case, I could've kicked it up a notch. The owner or manager stopped at our table often to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything. I told him that our massaman curry came without the pineapples that were indicated on the menu. He apologized, said they were training a new cook, and had another batch made correctly at no cost. ** Celiac diners: bring your own gluten free soy sauce ... they do not carry GF versions, but said next time we come dine there, they hope to have it available. We will definitely return. Restaurants have been in and out of this strip, hope this one stays!"

"New owners same location & type of business as before. Not a good 1st impression as we got hit in the nose with a very strong fishy smell. I like fish but not like this. Was not impressed with their dinner selection for the price. Again the smell was too pungent. Make your own decision.",
"This buffet is just typical Chinese Buffet. This is a spot for all you can eat, and pretty cheap. It's 7.99 at lunch time, so that's a good deal. Can't say I will be running back here anytime soon, but hey if you have a big group of people, this may be an alright choice. Everything you get at other buffets, you get here.",
"One person who reviewed this place and said he got a big whif of stinky strong fish. I will disagree with that. It smells like a typical Chinese Buffet, nothing more, nothing less.\n\nWe were in the area, and figured we would go since it just opened last week, and we would be shopping in the area. \n\nThey have a hibachi grill, sushi bar, fried items, typical Chinese dishes like chicken and broccoli and veggies, noodles, etc. They also have pizza, macaroni and cheese, fish, potatoes for the kids. They have a salad bar, soups, fruit, and desserts, and ice cream. Same type of place different day. \n\nNot horrible whatsoever, just standard and nothing out of the ordinary. Not too much seafood either.",
"Tried out the new Chinese buffet today and gotta say it was quite good. The key(trick) to this is for the quality to continue. Too many times I have experienced newly opened Chinese buffets open with a bang! Great product, friendly service, a clean restaurant, well prepared food, and then it's slowly scaled back on all fronts in order to bleed out as much profit as possible. The next thing you know the place is closed and the cycle starts all over again. Lunch was a good value at @$6.49 per person. I wish them luck and hope they continue to keep a high level of quality in all facets of their business.",
"Good little buffet. They didn't have the usual fare though. No sesame chicken. No honey chicken and the general Tao's was a bit odd. The rest of the food was quite tasty however. The ranging were flavorful as were the dim sum. The price for lunch was very reasonable, less than $7.00. I really liked the hibachi area, chicken and shrimp were the meat options and broccoli, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms and noodles for mixing.",
"My husband and I went today. We usually do not do buffets but decided to give it a try because there are not many restaurants in Land O Lakes area. People were nice. Food was good, and a huge variety. Loved the hibachi and sushi. For the price you can't beat it. I certainly don't understand those people that gave it 1 or 2 stars, nor did I see anything that was filthy or smelling like fish. I just believe some people are too judgmental.",
"Good food! As far as buffets go, this one isn't bad. I was pleasantly surprised. The hubby and I went for dinner on a Saturday. The place was packed but we did not have to wait for a table. The food was fresh. Nice variety of dishes (But stay away from the \"sushi\" and raw shell fish). Coconut shrimp are awesome!! The service was great. Our table was promptly cleared of empty plates and our glasses were never empty. Yes, we will go there again!",
"Agree with others it's typical chinese in a Good Way. Clean surroundings, wonderful presentation, friendly n affordable. We travel 30 minutes to eat here so I suggest you give it a try.",
"Me and the husband stopped in here for dinner. I was a bit hesitant due to lack of reviews, but this place has only been open 2 months. The food was typical Chinese Buffett fare, with the sushi selection being the star. All of the sushi was prepared fresh with customization available per request. The service was great. They are quick to clear the tables and the establishment is kept very clean. We will definitely be back!",
"I've been here 3 different times and each time it has stunk. Look, I gave them THREE DIFFERENT TRIES throughout the year and each time I had regrets. Some of the food was burnt. The macaroni and cheese is just noodles in water with some cheese. The chicken was tough. Nothing really had much flavor to it except the pudding. That was really the only thing I liked. Oh, and the water they serve.\n\nEverybody I've spoken with about this buffet has said they don't like it either. The service was good, don't get me wrong. I just can't stand the food.\n\nI LOVE Chinese food and Chinese buffets. I don't want this to come off as bashing the restaurant, it's just my honest review. I loved this establishment when the previous owners had control of it. Ichiban was one of my favorite places to go to. Imperial, not so much.\n\nI hope they step up their quality because I would love to enjoy my experience here for once.\n\n\n\n\nEdit April 2017: a few months back the owners hit our truck and didn't want to resolve the issue. They ended up blaming us for them damaging our truck."

"Though Osaka will always be my favorite sushi place, I am unfortunately too far away from it while I am on campus at Arcadia. However, Queen makes up for that. Not only is their Chinese food wonderful, they have good sushi as well, and for a sushi addict like me, when I find a sushi place I LOVE, I keep ordering from there. The great thing is that Queen delivers, and they deliver to Arcadia all the time so they're no strangers to the campus. Delivery is free, but I always make sure to tip the delivery guy. Plus, when I order Chinese food, I usually have leftovers for about 2 or 3 days so that's the best part :)",
"I no longer attend Arcadia but would totally eat here before or after seeing a show at the Keswick (or if I were in Glenside for some other reason...)",
"They have the standard Chinese plus a sushi bar, veg menu and some great this dishes. Thursdays are 30% any bill over $20. Awesome deal!!!!",
"I've been ordering delivery from this place for the past year, so I finally went in to eat today. The food was great as usual. \n\nBut the service was horrible. I only saw the waitress when I ordered and when it was time to get the check. I loved the food, but I don't think I'll be going back in to eat.",
"Great fresh sushi, and excellent chinese food too. Fast delivery, from the nicest delivery people! We love Queen, and order from them regularly. The 30% off orders over $20 is really fabulous too.",
"We've gotten from here a bunch of times while over at friends' place. Can't compare it to other places local to it, but overall, it's a winner. We've gotten a variety of soups, apps, entrees, and combo platters, from both the Chinese and Japanese sections of the menu. Everything has been tasty, though I'd give their wonton soup 3 stars.",
"I dined here last night before a concert at the Keswick. They were very friendly, the atmosphere wasn't as warm as other sushi places I have been; however, i was not sure from their menu if they were predominantly a sushi bar. The menu right off the bat was overly priced. Presentation impressed me when my Salmon Tempura and Philly Roll arrived. I am a big fan of the Philly roll, but their salmon had a very fishy taste to it, nothing that ginger couldn't kinda cure. On the other hand the Salmon Tempura I was very impressed with as far as its taste. I believe with so many sushi places around that over all i just wasn't ecstatic about this place. I have read others reviews, maybe i needed to try a vegetarian dish instead??? 2 rolls for $18 was just a little over the top for me with it not having an over appeal. So I'd have to say sorry and I'd pass on the sushi here :/",
"I've been getting take-out for the past year and this place is goooood. Their special diet dishes feature steamed veggies (and meat if you'd like) with sauce on the side and steamed white rice. It's very filling and the veggies taste fresh. The sushi is okay, but as a previous reviewer wrote, it can be considered pricey. Their delivery service is impeccable, I've never had to wait longer than 15 minutes. Prices have been going up though, already jumped twice in the past year or so that I've been eating here.",
"I worked in Glenside a few years ago and ordered some Chinese from them, before I got into sushi, and was always impressed with their food. Recently I've been able to dive more into the sushi scene and have had a hard time finding good local places. Queen is pretty close to home for me and with a big banner boasting \"$20 ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI TUESDAYS\" I had to give it a shot.\n\nThe first time I went was with my friend Adam and we got a lovely variety, I absolutely enjoyed my Volcano roll and Spider roll as well as some of Adam's Hamachi roll. For $20, their all you can eat sushi is a great deal considering how much some of the special rolls can cost. And for a sushi novice like myself, its a great chance to open up and try some more things you're not quite familiar with. This past Tuesday I met up for dinner with another friend of mine who's much more well versed in sushi and he said it was just alright, but I still think it was delicious.\n\nAs some other reviewers have mentioned, the service could stand some improvement, though each time I was there I've never had a problem, they've been very attentive when my drink was getting low and if the plates were becoming empty. They're still absolutely worth checking out!",
"i love ordering take out from here. i work down easton rd. and they always deliver quickly and its always so hot. the General Tso's Tofu/Been Curd is awesome. They also offer $20 for all you can eat sushi on tuesdays. their sushi is also mighty delicious. great place to eat whether you like the traditional chinese food platters or sushi and my favorite, bubble tea ;)"

"You need a quick breakfast 'cause you're doin' a beach day! You're going to Honeymoon Island, maybe take the boat to Caladesi Island, or just laying on the Dunedin Causeway Beach. Brenda's is waiting for you. Old school greasy spoon that makes great fast breakfasts. Biscuits and Gravy goood! One flapjack will fill you and you can get it as a side for under $2. Bacon made crisp like I love it. The servers are mature ladies that will take care of you. Did I mention the prices are the cheapest on Alt 19? BUT they only take cash! Quick! Simple! Cheap! Hit the beach! End of story. :)",
"Brenda's is a great place to eat, She is open for Breakfast and Lunch and you can get Breakfast from open to close, She has great specials every dan along with home made deserts.",
"Low tech and friendly. Excellent food cooked well. Lori and I have a regular tradition of eating breakfast on Sundays and sitting in the back corner and reading the Sunday paper. Not a pretentious place but great food at INCREDIBLY low prices..\nBreakfast for TWO for the price of ONE at one of those chain places.",
"An unassuming place, tucked away in a corner of a tiny strip mall, Brenda's is a blast from the past. The decor, the seating, the food AND THE PRICES are seriously from another generation. If you are in need of a good ole fashioned eggs, pancakes and coffee, I suggest you head down here. Brenda is still on the grill.",
"Brenda's is an OK breakfast stop. We actually ended up there after trying to go to Benedict's but they were closed, so I was already in the mood for eggs benedict. They do not have eggs benedict at Brenda's (or if they do I wasn't going to order it) Its more of an eggs and hashbrowns, classic breakfast foods type place. The building that it's in has definitely seen better days and it is obviously a place frequented by regulars. The staff seemed to know everyone's name. Prices were low, but I would expect that from any standard breakfast fair restaurant.",
"Great little place to grab breakfast or lunch. Owner is always there cooking and she is very nice. It's always good to support your local eatery and this is one of them for sure. Prices or low and portions are big and delicious!",
"They have the best Blueberry pancakes in town! Their pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes are a close second! We go all the time and it's never a bad meal. Omelets are great too. Brenda is a breakfast magician.",
"Where do I start...it took 20 minutes to get our coffee and beverages. It took 30 minutes to get our food. With 3 kids this was not the place to be. The waitress was obviously very overwhelmed. The food for the price was good but the service was so horrible it wasnt worth it. A party of 7 came in and asked us to move so they could use our table...we had to help bus the tables and 20 minutes later they still had not seen a server. ..then we heard another couple ask for a menu and the waitress said \"as soon as I can find one\"!! I will never return to this place.",
"Great little neighborhood place for breakfast. Fast, friendly and tasty. Try the corned beef hash with swiss and onions!",
"As diners go, I like Brenda's. Two eggs over easy, corned beef hash (with a slice of Swiss cheese on it), toast. She keeps the hash on the grill a while to crisp it up. The biscuits and gravy are also pretty good. Local flavor for sure, a nice change from all the carbon copy franchise places.\n\nYeah, I like it for the beach area diner that it is!"

"We usually hit Applebee's up for their appetizer special after 10PM. Half-priced appetizers is an awesome deal that we take of advantage of all the time. Waitresses and waiters seem slightly annoyed by the college crowd but are still pretty friendly. I like to order nachos as my meal normally and karaoke nights are awesome as well.",
"About a year ago this place was horrible . But it has got new management and has improved a great deal . 2 for 1 is a good deal as well as 2 for 20$ and half of appitizers after 10pm .",
"I had a great time here!!! The late night specials made our final bill ridiculously cheap. Now they have a little electronic buzzer on the table, so if you need your waiter, all you have to do is press the button and it sends a message to the waiter. I thought this was GREAT!!! It made for a very pleasant night!",
"I had a great time at this Applebees! The service is prompt (partly due to the call button that you have on your table to alert your server that you need help). I would definitely go back again! You can't beat those late night 1/2 price appetizers!!!",
"Went here for a UYE continuation after Mel's closed. None of us were hungry so we just took advantage of the 2-4-1 drafts and chewed the fat. The place was pretty full but not over-flowing. \n\nThe staff didn't seem super enthusiastic, but they did their jobs. Just as were getting ready to leave the music got really loud and it looked like they were setting up for karaoke.... and odd choice for an Applebee's but, whatever.",
"I used to work at this location and while I do love the Applebee's drink and food specials I do not feel terribly engaged . The staff is disinterested and rude most of the time. \n\nFact is it's a chain and I'm not really into chains. Never have been. Never will be. But for the most part I don't mind coming in, throwing down a few dollars and enjoying friend's company.",
"The death of decent food in America, combined with lousy service, makes this place horrendous. But their happy hour specials are super cheap, so they avoid the dreaded one star at least from me.\n\nEverything you'll order, including the steaks, tastes like it's fresh out of the microwave. Your vegetables will be more limp than Hugh Hefner without Viagra. I haven't ever had anything there that wasn't bland or had any flavor. Even the spicy chicken pasta leans more heavily on just a spicy seasoning to make it seem like it has more depth than salt, but it fails terribly.\n\nWhat makes this location so bad is the service. I've been sitting at the bar and unable to pay my check for 10 minutes. Plus the side tables around the main bar area are very hit and miss. Sometimes you get a good server that's friendly and attentive, but too often it's someone that has too many tables (remember that's not their fault, that falls to management) or a kid that could have been cast in the movie Waiting. \n\nI don't just rip chains because they're chains, as I'm an unabashed fan of places like Carrabba's and Lee Roy Selmon's. But this one is the bottom of the barrel.",
"Even though this place Is always packed at night. I feel they are very efficient in their service and work ethic. I always come into the restaurant with over 8 people. But even though the wait is always 30+min, it's well worth it! \n\nI give it 5 stars because for the amount of people this place sees after 10pm, they are very good with customer service and getting people their food.",
"It offers more variety than other sit-down restaurants, but the quality is really, REALLY lacking. \n\nMy partner ordered a Long Island and it tasted like Windex. The server did everything she could to accommodate for the poor quality.\n\nWe ordered a bunch of appetizers for the half-off apps they have at night. It's a nice option to have. You defiantly get more mozzarella sticks on the half-off option. \n\nOverall, it's a nice place and good service, but the quality of the food is lacking, greatly.",
"All you can eat lunch (soup & Salad w/ garlic bread)!! (-__-)#fatkid4lifeFace ... the Sante Fe Chicken Salad was great (had 2 of those), the oriental salad was OK and almost all the soups are great ... YES, I tried ALL the soups ... Dont Judge Me... Had to get my \"$8.99 all you can eat\" money's worth. #brokecollegestudentSwag"

"this is just simple, very delicious thai food. the staples (pad thai and pad see-ew) never fail, and the curries are some of the best i've had. good place to go if you're on the main line.",
"This quaint BYOB is easy to miss. Not only does it not have a large footprint on Lancaster Avenue, it's small inside too, with around 15 tables. In case their name, or Thai artifacts sprinkled inside - or the Thai music - didn't tip you off, their menu is chiefly Thai with continental and French influences (duck, seafood, crab cake, rich sauces), probably to appeal to mainline clientele. Prices are average for a Thai restaurant in its region (not high, not too low).\n\nOur party of five walked in on a Tuesday. I hear that Siamese Princess doesn't get a lot of business until Thursday or Friday. Our server (Yui - unsure of spelling) was friendly - while it wasn't terribly crowded, she was the only one working the floor so it took some time to get to us if we needed something (our waters weren't filled right away).\n\nThere wasn't an ice bucket on the premises, so if you bring any wine, bring a cooler too!\n\nFor starters, we ordered a papaya salad which wasn't bad though my friend said it had too much fish sauce. I started with a bowl of tom yum which was excellent. Interesting take on it, I could taste Laotian flavors in the soup. The shrimp was large and tender in it.\n\nFor an entree, I had a green curry with chicken, and asked for it to be made very spicy: besides the basil and assorted vegetables, the red peppers in it added a ton of spice. Speaking of spice, my curry was freakin hot - the cook didn't fool around! I needed more rice twice and was glad when Yui came around with water. My curry had a thick consistency, almost slurry thanks to the coconut milk in it.\n\nTwo of us ordered yellow curries: one ordered it spicy (with chicken) and it WASN'T while another friend ordered it medium (with tofu) and it QUITE the opposite.\n\nAnother friend had the Jungle Princess with chicken (which was dry, she said - I tasted and agreed). In my green curry, the chicken was dry also. As you may know, chicken is typically high-risk, not for disease, but for being overcooked!\n\nSiamese Princess is open for dinner daily (Monday through Sunday) and take out is available. Unfortunately they aren't open for lunch. Worth a try, especially if you like spicy foods!",
"Ok,\nthis place grows its own chili peppers in buckets in the backyard.\n\ntheir young coconut/avocado salad is so amazing I don't even know what to do with myself.",
"I worked in the Ardmore area a few years ago at one of the auto dealerships. I would go to the usual burger, pizza, hoagie shops for my lunches. One fortunate day I decided I needed a change so I walked into the Siamese Princess. The restaurant was practically empty so I was a little apprehensive, but thank goodness I stayed. The food was wonderful. I would have lunch there at least once a week. And I have tried and enjoyed everything on their lunch menu. (I believe they no longer serve lunch) And when my employment in Ardmore changed to Philadelphia I really missed my lunches at the Siamese Princess. My wife and I will occasionally go for dinner or take-out, I think she loves the place more than I do. The thing that puzzles me is how the Siamese Princess has remained undiscovered. I know I've done my share of \"word of mouth\" advertising. You would think a small BYOB restaurant that has great food, good service, reasonable prices would have people lining up out the door. Anyway, go discover the delicious flavors of Thai now, you can thank me later.",
"I came down with a bad viral infection thats making the rounds.\nThroat closed up, the works.\nI swear by hot spicy tumeric laden food to help what ails me.\nThe staff was very friendly and took pity on me.\nThey custom made my order as hot as is possible.\nIt did the trick for one night and helped me feel better for a while.\nThey are a tad pricey, but otherwise I have no complaints.\nI like their curries best and their duck dishes are also good.",
"Siamese Princess popped my Thai food cherry 7 years ago. i'm glad i saved myself for her. she was wonderful! very thoughtful, experienced, pretty, comforting, and yummy. she provided a wide variety of treats and though i was too scared at the time to try anything exotic, what i did try was simple and pleasing and definitely satisfying. i havent been back to her in years, but my memories of her are fund. id like to visit her again as a more experienced Thai food eater.",
"It doesn't look like much from the outside. And, in fact, it doesn't look like much from the inside. But I'll be damned if the food isn't good and the price is nice... real nice. We've only recently expanded into Thai and Siamese Princess is now our lock-down restaurant of choice.",
"For great Thai food on the Main Line, this is the place. It can get really crowded on weekend nights, but that's just a testament to the deliciousness of the food. Come here on the early side, and it's surprisingly empty. The service is fine- friendly staff. The only negative is that they seem to have trouble dealing with lots of people waiting, and large crowds in general. But that's really the only downside to this otherwise charming restaurant with scads of wonderful-tasting Thai food.",
"This restaurant is located in the pretty area of Ardmore right on US 30. The decoration inside is modest and seating arrangements are conservative at best. The server was polite. The food was very good. We tried a noodle soup which was the specialty of the day. We also tried a fish in ginger curry sauce which was excellent and had the right mix of ginger and tangy-ness. The pad thai although good, was a bit on the sweeter side. If you are not too fond of sweet sauce, I would suggest that you ask for extra spice for the pad thai. Overall a good package.",
"The duck (any of the several) is my favorite. Good service, good soups good curries. Have never been let down. It's our 1st choice for Thai."

"Great diner. Very fast service. The \"Happy Waitress\" is fantastic - grilled cheese with tomatoes and bacon. Stuffed shrimp are plentiful and the French toast is well made and filling.",
"Cream chip beef was run of the mill but I asked for extra crispy home fries and they came out perfect. good cheap diner.",
"Good diner grub. Stick with the cheeseburger deluxe or anything from the breakfast menu.",
"Trust me, even though I am a tried and true southern Jersey guy, it is NOT my purpose to review diners...it just happens. I get hungry what can I say. \n\nThis is the NEW Black Horse Diner not to be confused with the the old?\n\nFolks...typical stuff here, but a slightly nicer, non-traditional diner appearance, but the staff is not really up a notch to go with the interior. I did really like the black horse theme here...pictures, statues etc were all over and this reason alone would keep me coming back. I just think he needs to take it one more tacky step forward on the horses....it was a bit to much like grandmom's house. \n\nOh, the food. Well...I would come back for the ponies, but the food...well...I think we can all do better. It was okay, nothing to write home about and I would choose elsewhere 1st. \n\nI did breakfast 'cause it's always safe and simple. \nAs with most diners they have their share of die-hard regulars. \n\nI thought the egg sandwich w/bacon on a kaiser w/home fires @ 6.29 was a bit high.",
"It's a diner so expectations are low, however The Black Horse Diner is way above other diners in the area. Prices are good, people are friendly, clean dining room and rest rooms, tasty food. I usually go with breakfast but the cheeseburgers are awesome. Definitely much better than the average diner!",
"Our favorite diner in So Jersey. We lived here 15 years (Cherry Hill) and return regularly. Have stopped in here ~dozen times, mostly for dinner.\n\nHad breakfast. It was Father's Day and the place was full, with a wait, but it was only five minutes considering about 20 people were waiting.\n\nI had the Western Omelette and it was outstanding. Wife had the Spinach and Feta Omelette, which was a bit overdone. However, her scrapple was a HUGE slice and was very tasty. I don't do scrapple, but I tasted it and it really was good. We both had sides of home fries. Not \"fried\" on the griddle very much, but also not greasy. Actually for me I loved them, but others might not like them prepared that way. \n\nDaughter had sausage links (i sampled them and they had nice snap and flavor, large diameter too), along with pancakes (delicious). \n\n\"Still the one...\"",
"I like this place. I went here on my way to do Fishing show's in south jersey and got a great breakfast. Got Scrambled eggs, hash browns and sausage pattie. It was such a huge portion i had to force feed myself. LOL. coffee was great and the wait staff is super efficient and experienced.",
"The only think I eat at a diner is breakfast, and it's always good here. The place is pretty clean, the service is good, and the breakfast is just about as good as any other diner.",
"Come here quite often. Service is always nice. 20% off can be used anytime of the week, which can be found in the paper or online. THEIR CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP IS TO DIE FOR, but is only served on Saturdays. I really like their french toast too, big thick slices.",
"I will never ever ever return to this place. This might have just been an off day for the place, but it wasn't good.\n\nWe went out of eat last minute and we decided to go to Black Horse Diner because my boyfriends parents used to go there and it was good. We went with 6 people, and one handicapped. When we arrived we had to wait for a host for round about five minutes (and it's not THAT big of a place), and then they had no room for us. The guy kept looking around and shrugging, then eventually they pulled a few tables together and shoved us in the corner. We were up against an \"emergency exit\" door and couldn't get up without almost opening it.\n\nSo once we were eventually sitting down we waited for the waitress, who was nice, but wasn't very good at what she did. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. We NEVER got the appetizer. We also didn't see the waitress again until our food was brought out (we order along with the appetizer because we knew what we wanted).\n\nSo our food comes out and she couldn't remember who had what, and our table was already cluttered from the around of uncleared cups. I got the linguine with alfredo and chicken, and it was DISGUSTING! Never ever get this. I couldn't eat it, it honestly looked like slop, there was no taste at all- the chicken- you couldn't tell it was chicken. The noodles were severely overcooked and also had no taste, and the alfredo sauce wasn't alfredo sauce, and if it was it must have been week old alfredo sauce.\n\nOut of six people, only three people ended up being okay with their meals. One was a cheese-steak, one was a tuna sandwich, and the other was a hoagie (but that wasn't even eaten at the restaurant, it was to go). My boyfriend's dad got the seafood platter which he didn't finish because it was too bland, and his sister didn't finish her food because it tasted weird.\n\nAs if things couldn't get any worse, they were trying to film a commercial for the place so the photographer was going around taking pictures of people. He took pictures of us without our permission, and we had to tell him no because we didn't want our pictures taken (especially not to promote a place that we just had bad food). He gave us a dirty look and moved on.\n\nSo because I was still starving because I now didn't have dinner, we were getting ready to go but decided to get dessert. Only two people got dessert, me and our handicapped uncle, I tried to get there triple chocolate cake (which the waitress said they didn't have), so just got the regular- and that was okay. And my uncle got the icecream. \n\nFor a $90 bill, it wasn't worth it. It was one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. We didn't send the food back because we couldn't even get our waitress for more than two seconds. Thinking of that meal I got still makes me feel queasy. \n\nUpon leaving we didn't get any farewell, but my boyfriend's dad stayed behind to talk to someone about the food. We waited 20 more minutes and according to my boyfriend's dad the manager \"didn't seem to care at all about whether or not we liked the food or service\". \n\nIt was honestly a waste of time and money. Save your money and go somewhere else."

"This bar, next to Coop's Place, was a friend recommendation. he said it was the new \"place for people in black\". While on my brief stay in New Orleans, we went both nights we were there.\n\nThe decor is brilliant. Very pre-Bolshevik Revolution Russia, with odd little paintings of the Russian royal family and Rasputin on the walls, as well as a few propaganda pieces. There is a lot of red, and it works well to make this place stand out from other bars in NOLA. The courtyard in back is quiet and quaint as well as very large. The patrons do seem to be on the \"goth\" side, but not in a way that would be uncomfortable to non-goth people. This ain't no stompy industrial club and no one was releasing the bat inside either.\n\nThe patrons were actually very nice, laid back, and interesting. The music was wonderful, very relaxed. If i lived in NOLA, i would become a regular here. Well, except for the drink prices.\n\nAnd that's why i didn't give it 5 stars. The drink prices were way over priced, especially for the fact that the selection on the liquors was pretty bland. Their best gin was Sapphire (my boyfriend is going through a gin and tonic phase right now, and while sapphire is ok, he was hoping for something a little more sophisticated.) They didn't stock Monopolwa vodka, which should have been a given with the decor of the place. A polish or russian potato vodka should always be on hand at a place decorated in the Russian style. Not to mention, it's good and it's cheap. The price of an Imperia Vodka and soda was something like $10. Seriously?\n\nAnyway, even though the absinthe we tried was $20 per glass, it was worth it (to me, maybe not to my boyfriend) to have such a good absinthe (Francois Guy Absinthe) for the first time and prepared the old way with full on sugar cubes on the absinthe spoons and dripping water to melt the sugar.\n\nThis is definitely not a place for people who think Bourbon Street is awesome and come to New Orleans just to get wasted. Don't come here if that's the kind of person you are, you will get made fun of, and rightly so. If you want to go to a relaxed place that serves good (though pricey drinks) and have a great people watching experience, I'd highly suggest you come here.",
"Mother Russia, rain down down down. Oh, so delightfully spooky! Decked out in red & black like a tres gothique parlor in some ancient mansion littered in memorabilia, Pravda is a relaxed and friendly lounge. I only stopped in quickly, but it seemed the price for my Abita & shot of Jim Beam was decent.\n\nWhat especially delighted me about this space was the huge stonework courtyard out back. On a chill Saturday, before the night is in full swing, you can have seat and make a phone call to someone special.\n\nAnd you need to use the restroom at least once just to dig the neat locking mechanism. If you should manage to get sufficiently drunk that you can't operate a normal doorhandle lock, at least you should be able to get out of the restrooms here... but really, this isn't a place for getting that kind of drunk to begin with.",
"I had the pleasure of going to Pravda! last summer when the band I was on the road with was briefly marooned in NOLA for a few days. As luck would have it, one of the members ran into some old friends that recommended that we check out this cool, new, russian inspired bar in the quarter. I believe we went on a Sunday night and there really weren't many other people, so we had our run of the house. The bartender, Michelle, was really friendly. We were completely in awe watching her make absinthe drinks for us. Give Pravda! a try if you're in the neighborhood and you're looking for more than just a grab n' go cocktail.",
"Can't really add a whole lot to what the other reviewers have already mentioned. My husband and I saw a flyer for this place on the wall somewhere on Decatur I think. Checked it out later that night when it was actually open. Not many people were there (nice change from the packed places on Bourbon Street!), very calm music, all in all lovely atmosphere. The Soviet Russia theme is a very nice touch. If you want quality absinthe, this is where you want to go! The bartender (Michelle) was very polite and helpful when my husband was trying to figure out which type of absinthe to order. Definitely a place I'll go back to whenever in NOLA!",
"There is a rule that every major city aspiring to some measure of cultural life must have at least one Soviet and/or Cold War communism themed bar within its boundaries. \n\nThus we have Pravda, an exceptionally skillful take on the form, and with several interesting observations encoded in itself.\nFirstly, the luxurious salon/boudoir/cabaret decor (which contrasts with more bleak and industrial takes on communist kitsch, such as Sputnik in Brooklyn), can be seen as a deconstruction of Western, capitalistically-rooted idealizations of communist ideology. The plush red velvet and (delicious) absinthe stand in for a tradition of European radicalism keen extol the merits and cultural power of communist tradition, while blind to its tragic humanitarian failures. \nLike Sartre, de Man, and other radical luminaries, you too can sit in a plush space and bemoan the hegemonic influence of global capitalism while kicking back a wide selection of imported aperitifs.\n\nThe beautiful back garden, surprising in its openness after the warmth and intimacy of the bar space, is a reenactment of the primitivist spirit behind fantasies of collectivist social organization. The passage from the refinement of the indoor space to the splendors of nature reenacts the desired dismantling of social constructions at the heart of communist nostalgia.\n\nThis is also where the john is.",
"So I'm here in New Orleans for a wedding this weekend, and since it was an early one, the bride and groom suggested moving the party (After changing clothes, of course) to Pravda, for absinthe and revelry. They couldn't have made a better choice.\n\nWith the gorgeous decor (a working victrola, even!), a really relaxed atmosphere, and awesome music playing, I can see how this became a fast favorite. Besides the great prices (you'd never get $5 for top shelf drinks in SF, that's for sure), the delicious food (frites with curry sauce..yum).. the staff was incredible.\n\nWe descended on this bar with about 50-60 people (basically all the young folks from the wedding), and they only had one bartender. I didn't catch her name, but she was this cute little thing with long black dreads, short bangs, and a whole heap of patience. She was super-professional, got everybody served, and worked her ass off in a big way. If I could give an extra 5 stars for her, I totally would. I have never seen anyone so on top of things.\n\nSo next time I'm in NOLA, I'm definitely going to make a point of coming back, sippin' on my absinthe, and enjoying the ambiance of Pravda.",
"Really cool joint with strong drinks and awesome ambiance. A nice getaway from the typical NOLA bars of Bourbon street. Decatur street has a hidden gem! The decor is awesome and there is a quaint little courtyard with dim lights, tables and a waterfall. Did I mention the prices were amazing and the server did her best to keep up with our 50 plus guests from the wedding party. I would definitely go back!!!",
"Plus+\n\n++Knowledgeable bartender\n++Wide selection of my favorites (i.e. absinthe and vodka)\n++Away from Bourbon\n++Away from Bourbon\n++I saw a mouse in the bathroom that was super adorable.\n++Reading the books on the bookshelf I learned more about Franco than I could ever want to know.\n\nMinus-\n\n--Pricey\n--Gothy\n--Gothy\n--Bartender isn't a drinker herself.... I find that suspicious",
"Fun atmosphere. great theme. tasty drinks. Since I was with my Mom who grew up during the worst of the red scare stuff, she thought the Soviet theme was pretty funny. Yes, you can bring your aging mother to bars in the FQ and still have a good time",
"After witnessing the trash on Bourbon street, Pravda was a nice change of pace. \n\nI loved the multi-layered red theme, and the fact that I could choose between several kinds of absinthe to drink. \n\nGreat music choices here and a great place to chill out."

"Tasty Tomâs is not the place youâd go if youâre trying to eat lean or low-calorie. Everything on the menu is rich. They like to use lots of butter and cream in their cooking, and thatâs probably why it tastes so good. Tasty Tomâs is the kind of place you get irrepressible cravings for, and must satiate or be tortured by dreams of decadent Rubens until you do. Their sandwiches are rich but delicious, almost too heavy if youâre not in the mood to feel stuffed. Iâve also had one of the best burgers here ever. Service is fast; the food comes in five to 10 minutes. The space is small and cozy, but not a place youâd come to for privacy because the tables are really close together. You come here to eat! The fries, I recall, are a bit greasy for my liking, but some people would love that. I wouldnât classify this as fast food, âbecause they also serve pastas, sandwiches, etc. Itâs just the service thatâs swift.",
"Tasty Tom's makes you feel like you are in a diner from the eighties. \n\nI have had the big breakfast here which includes two eggs, two Texas toast, two bacon, two sausage, a piece of ham and home fries. It came to around $11. The food is prepared with care and they don't make anything overly greasy. They made the eggs EXACTLY how I wanted and the home fries were delicious.\n\nFor a small diner they go above and beyond expectations. They have such generous portions and the best food. I was very impressed. It was probably the best breakfast and best bang for my buck that I have had in a long time. I would love to go back in the evening to see if it's just as good.",
"Greasy spoon comfort food done really really well. 'Nuff said? No? Hands down the best Weiner Schnitzel in town: big, crispy, tender served with creamy potato salad. You can only responsibly eat here once every couple of months, even with an active gym membership.",
"Tasty Tom's is right near my office, which is one of the reasons I go there often. Unlike many others that are near my office, I go back because it is so good.\n\nI'll admit, Tasty Toms is not for the calorie counter. It is not good for my waistline or my breath, but man is the food good, and I'm pretty sure I've had everything on the menu at this point.\n\nIt's definitely my favourite spot in Old Strathcona and it's a bit of a throwback in the sense that the owner is in the kitchen sharing his craft with the customers. \n\nIf you really want a treat get the Chicken Rueben, the Fish and Chips, or one of their delicious burgers.",
"I love coming to Tasty Tom's for breakfast as it never disappoints. The breakfast montecristo is my favourite. It's sweet from the addition of pear, but still crunchy and savoury and buttery. It's definitely the ultimate breakfast sandwich for me. I've also had the bruschetta omelet, and it is delicious. It's super light, and I like the processed cheese in. \n\nMy friends and I come here a lot, but it's not just the food, it's the fast, attentive service, and the homey feel.",
"Great service but super over-priced mediocre food. Potatoes were not properly done -- still quite raw. Quality of bacon is questionable -- it's almost the same kind of jelly-like bacon you find at fast food restaurants. I remember this place used to be a whole lot better, especially their home-made ketchup. Coffee was also awful as it tasted burnt. We ate four hours ago and still feel pretty sick. Sorry, it's gone from Tasty Tom's to Tasty Bomb. We're never coming back.",
"Amazing gourmet burgers with sliced chips and homemade ketchup! Stunning! Just cannot get enough of this place!",
"Best place in yeg for a burger! Amazing burgers, sliced fry chips, the best homemade ketchup ever. Small joint, worth the wait! Staff is friendly good environment! Gotta eat here!",
"A really homey diner with brunch, sandwiches, German-inspired entrees, and burgers. I had the steak and eggs and everything was cooked exactly to order. I especially liked the home fries which are some of the best I have had in ages - the potato was freshly cut, seasoned, and the fried onions just took it up to another level. The steak was broiled, soft, and marinated, but had a lot of gristle on it - tasted good though. I definitely plan to come here again - I have got to have those potatoes!",
"I had been to Tasty Toms many years ago, and thought it was decent - nothing to write home about, but OK.\n\nToday we decided to visit for brunch. I asked for a half order of the 4 egg omelette, my fiance got the pancakes, my MIL got the 2 egg breakfast. The server was very busy, and we waited a long time for coffee to be refilled, but we brushed it off. \n\nThe 2 egg breakfast was quite large, My omelette was just the right size, and tasted fine, except the cheese was the american sliced cheese kind, which is always disappointing.\n\nHalfway through my fiance's pancakes, he looked down to find an adult sized (dead) mealworm cooked into the cake. He promptly brought the dish to the counter, & the 3 off us promptly lost our appetites. The server apologized and asked if he wanted another dish, but he declined.\n\nWhen we received the bill, the pancakes had been removed, however, my 2 egg (half size omelette) has charged full price, even though half size was noted on the bill. The total for 2 mediocre ( & half eaten, due to worm incident) breakfasts and 3 coffees came to $39.00. \n\nThe 3 of us will not be returning to this establishment."

"The coffee is a Nicaraguan coffee, and the beans are roasted by Carabello Coffee in Cincinnati. They serve hot and cold brews as well as a selection of loose leaf teas. They have a small counter top case of baked goods to go along with your beverage choice. I like the little ginger snaps. I love the space in an old building with exposed brick. Order at the counter, and you can stay and sit at a table of you like. The name is a tribute to the history of the building. It's the name of the pharmacy that was originally housed here.",
"Great new up and coming coffee shop! \"The hammer\" coffee drink was delicious and they had tasty baked goods! The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is great! Power Outlets at every table so it's a great place to get work done while sipping a nice drink!",
"I usually just want a little coffee with my milk, but Neidhammer has such excellent quality beans that I can drink it black and relish each sip! On top of that, they have the best gluten free/dairy free coffee cake I've ever had! Great atmosphere and service!",
"Great new coffee shop. The staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Neidhammer Coffee Company.",
"My husband and I went yesterday morning and tried their vanilla lattes. They were amazing! The building was super cool inside with tons of exposed brick. They share a space with the new cidery. Staff were super friendly. This is a great addition to the Near Eastside neighborhood.We are certainly going back for more!",
"Visited here with my mom this Saturday morning. We ordered in house coffees and a couple of the pastries. My mom chatted up the male barista who was very warm and friendly.\nThe ambiance in this place is stellar. Exposed brick, high ceilings, a bright window in the front , and a private tucked away corner in the back. The tables all have outlets attached so you can plug your laptop in while you write your next novel ;) A brick wall with open arches separates the coffee shop from the cider shop. \nThe coffee tasted great. It's freshly filtered, not drip, so we had to wait about 5-10 minutes for it. I suggest offering drip brew as well to customers who pop in for to go coffees. We had mini muffins and a couple of tiny gingersnap cookies. Hoping for a better pastry selection next time. \nOverall I was pleased. I'll be back.",
"Iced mocha was a little bitter and not very chocolaty. The atmosphere was nice and calm the plugs at every table was very nice.",
"I usually start my reviews off with needless diatribes. This time, instead, let's just highlight what's great about Neidhammer.\n\n--The coffee is great, with a number of options for how you get it done, like your V60 and your Chemexas for folks who like that kind of thing.\n--There's a solid smoothies selection, plus a ridiculously good but dangerous drink called The Hammer: ice cream and cold brew. Nosh it. \n--There are outlets connected to, like, every table. This is my dream.\n--The space is beautiful, maintaining much of the character of the restored old building while adding some minimalistic flair and branding.\n--The space is shared with Ash & Elm Cider Co., which means on the days it's open you can also have delicious hard cider. in the same place. \n--Though it wasn't live when I visited, they're opening a coworking space in the building too, and the beverage selection in this place would make that pretty tempting for me.\n\nNeidhammer is a really exciting addition to East Washington Street, and I can't wait for this to be my new spot.",
"Very good cold brew\nExcellent iced latte\nVery fast service\n\nHouse made simple syrup to sweeten your iced drinks\nGood coffee, done right.",
"Very warm, cozy, peaceful atmosphere. I love the look and setup. They have a section in the back that is kind of tucked away if you want to be secluded. Every single table has an outlet under it, super convenient! The loose leaf tea is amazingly good. I had the ginger peach. The Baristas were very warm and friendly. Didn't like parking across the street but it wasn't that bad. I imagine they'll be changing it soon because they're new. I really like their hours of operation. Most coffee shops in the area close early. My first visit was great and I will make this my new work spot."

"Just paid a visit to Turchetti's Salumeria in Fountain Square. Today is their opening day! I ordered the Beef Frank. It comes on a Gonella Lobster Roll with chips and a pickle. The Frank was good! Wasn't what I expected but very tasty! Loved it on the lobster roll. The pickle was good too. To me ...the pickle can make or break a sandwich. These two worked very well together. I hate that it didn't come with any of their specialty mustard. Would have loved to try that too. The chips appeared to be house made? They were a good compliment to the Frank as well. I'm sure they are to all of their sandwiches. I would definitely try them again. Especially with them being close to work.",
"Went today and ordered the $12 meat sandwich. I really which the cook try their food before they serve. Meat was good but the bread was saggy.",
"I had never heard of the brand so I purchased a random sampling of salumi for a charcuterie board. The products were well made and and had both great texture and flavor. Definitely a brand to watch and a great addition to the Indy food scene.",
"If you like quality food, then you will like Turchetti's! I went to the grand opening and was fortunate to get there just before the lunch rush. It's located within the former \"Marrow\" space, so parking is limited to street parking in the area.\n\nInside, there is a window processing area at the front, and once you get into the main area, the order counter/cooler/bar are on the left side; the two-top tables are in the middle; and the 4-top tables are on the right with the curing meats in a windowed room beyond those.\n\nWhile waiting to place my order, I noticed the menu boards for sandwiches, burgers, and sides posted above the cooler filled with packaged meats to go. I picked up a pack of beef franks and one of beef summer sausage. \n\nI was welcomed by the cashier who explained a few things to help make the visit informed. I started with a double order of N'Duja Deviled Eggs (they come as half eggs) and went with the Pastrami (Reuben). They also have a variety of beverages including Pepsi products, sparkling water, and a few beer selections.\n\nAfter paying, they gave me a card to place on my table so that the server could bring out my order.\n\nAfter a brief wait, the eggs were delivered. Wow! The flavor was great. I ate each half like it was an amuse bouche. The yolks were flavored and though I can't tell you all the ingredients, the creamy texture and the light bite of the egg white added to the layered flavor (definitely an hint of vinegar & mustard seed). They aren't filling and are worth a taste.\n\nThe Pastrami was delivered soon after and was excellent! The rye was lightly crisped for that satisfying crunch. Inside, they have the pastrami layered with Swiss cheese and \"gardenkraut\" topping and a bit of 1000 Island dressing for more flavor. Simply delicious and it paired well with my Central State IPA. \n\nThe only negative I had was that the place was getting quite busy since it was opening day and the line was backing up. I think once the cashier doesn't have to take time to answer a lot of questions about the place due to all the new customers, things out to go more quickly. Still, the line was moving pretty well while I was there...maybe 5 minutes from door to placing your order.\n\nReview #1265",
"Great new addition to Fountain Square!\nGreat deli, and sandwiches. Also small plates - and beer ! Watch this business , \nThey will be a busy place!0",
"Be one of the first guests at the new Turchetti's Salumeria in Fountain Square! \n\nThis space is conveniently located downtown, and has so much to offer. Grab a sandwich to go or sit down and enjoy a glass of wine. \n\nThey also have a variety of meats prepackaged for retail including various types of bacon, ham, and salami.\n\nThe Rosino Sandwich I give 5 stars. Next time I'm back I plan on trying the Charcuterie- I hear it's very popular. ;)",
"Went on the opening. Staff were very nice. I ordered the meat sandwich. Unfortunately the delicious dressing soak the bread and I don't\nLike soaky bread. Part of that the sandwich was delicious. I will go back and try other things.",
"I have been living in Fountain Square for a couple years and always said there needs to be a deli or butcher. Alas, my prayers were answered with Turchetti's and was so excited to try out the deli when it opened up. My girlfriend got the gem salad and she said it was incredible! The dehydrated then rehydrated tomato based vinaigrette was top notch. I got the Risino sandwich and I only have one word: delectable. The meats were tasty and you could tell they were fresh and had some love out into the process. Definitely will be coming back again and buying as many meats as possible!",
"Do we need another artisanal butcher in Indy? Um, yes. Do we need that butcher to have a lunch counter where they fashion amazing sandwiches and the like? Fo sho. Bright and cheery with a glimpse into the curing station and a grab and go box, this long counter with a bit of seating space seems very NYC to me in a good way. Serving fresh squeezed lemonade, that I watched them make so I know it's true, Kombucha, wine and beer for your thirsty self, they also provide glass bottles of water, which I think really classes up the joint. Everyone raved about the smash burger but we had to get the sliced meat sandwiches. While \"ham sandwich\" was how it appeared on the receipt, it was so, so much more then that. A tangy corn and pepper chow chow topped it and it had been paninified so the Provo cheese was melted and seared everything together. The Rosino sandwich was the star. Served cold with piles of meats and a house made giardiniera, it showcased 4 different meats which seems like just showing off but really was not. Capped the meal with a small plate of deviled egg, which had a rich caramel colored filling thanks to the n'duja addition. Charmingly plated on a pile of creamy mustard that showed the care given even to the presentation of an oft lowly picnic food. The crunch of mustard seed and richness of the filling made them a handsdown favorite. Did not try but noted: turkey leg w numbing pickles, an eggplant meatless sandwich and super basic and fairly priced kids menu.\n\nCurrently open only Fri and Sat for lunch",
"If I could give Turchetti's more than 5 stars, I would. We were unbelievably impressed by their quality, selection, and service. We did the Prosciutto Plate special--phenomenal. Plus they have gf bread options, so that is amazing as well. We can't wait to come back to Turchetti's!"

"Vas ist das? A review of a liquor store? But why? Is this just a new level of yelpish indulgence? \n\nIt's a new level of adventure is what it is. \n\nAdventure as in...\"that's a guy in a liquor store parking lot in front of a giant smoker that is spray painted with the word 'Irie' on it. Would he really just being doing this all for himself? No...we must find out!\" \n\nThankfully I was with my well-traveled, street-food aficiando co-hort who is up for such an adventure. Indianapolis really hasn't (nor has ever had the chance to) caught on to the divinity of street food. The essence of communities and people and religion in family all tucked onto small carts on sidewalks or in trucks, or in this case in a trailer-size smoker in a corner parking lot. \n\nWhat's that? Is that a walk-up window in a building? Goodness he just took street food to a new level. When I saw him on his cell phone I really expected him to use it as a calculator for the money exchange; no this is formidable, this is formidable Irie Jamaican Jerk chicken.\n\nYou know...all this makes sense that the one time I have something truly adventurous in Indy (GOAT CURRY) I'm stranded out on a blacktop island of a parking lot. Really...goat curry isn't adventurous...it's the every day dish of Jamaica (which I encountered first hand while traveling there). \n\nThis goat curry is what you would find in Jamaica (no...not at those resorts you couples go to...on the streets, in the coastal shacks). \n\nDon't be surprised when I recommend you go to this liquor store for dinner when you ask me where you should go in Indy. \n\nGuess what...credit cards can happen here. Youbetchya this is the 21st century ya'll, so get in on this adventure. There's a full menu. Goat, chicken, curry or jerk. That's a full menu where I come from, and there are sides, too. O, and yeah, um, it's connected to a liquor store...so if you agree with me that Lime Fritos should be your side along with 24oz. of anything you'd like...then you'd realize that being connected to a liquor store might be the wisest, most economical sense for an eatery.\n\n\nEverything will come in a to-go container when you order...don't take it as an affront...he'll have table and chairs set out in the parking lot...and he's entirely welcoming & conversational. But you're not going to gab...all that's going to happen is that you'll spew jerk spices dripping from your mouth...hoping to grasp a sentence together to communicate such flavorful delight, such an indelible mark this food is leaving upon your soul. \n\nIndianapolis has something here. He's been in business at least 8 months (when I was there for the first time and saw him again last week)...so thankfully other folks are supporting him. This is the part of Indianapolis that isn't talked about, but quietly beloved by a few and hopefully many will flock and this place turns quickly hip, where Tall Boys are bagged from the liquor store, where SUV hatches are raised and hipsters pull up curbs to watch Do The Right Thing on back seat screens in that SUV, where curry sneezes waft through the streets and good old-fashioned community happens surrounding this one man and his food.",
"This is Jamaican food as good as it gets. \n\nThe owner and sole proprietor (Kanai) is strait off the boat and he also returns to Jamaica 2-3 times a year to pick up his spices directly from a farm. This is one of the best places in Indianapolis. \n\nEverything is good but the ribs with his hot jerk sauce are to die for. Get the rice and beans and ask for plantains. Everything he does on the grill with hardwood charcoals and it shows. \n\nIt only has outdoor seating and is mostly carryout. Do not be intimidated by the area. It is worth going anywhere for this quality of food.",
"Jamaican Style Jerk will always be in my top favorite places of Indianapolis. The ribs are the best and certainly a must have. The chicken, a close second, but don't look past things like ox-tail. \n\nDemand the hot-sauce for your ribs. It's unique, full of flavors and is one of the few food items I've actually had dreams about. \n\nRice and \"Peas?\" Yes Please. (actually, they are beans)\nPlantains, if no - then what the hell are you doing there?\n\nA few of my friends are intimidated by this neighborhood, don't be. This is authentic street-food, uncompromised by faux-ambience, at it's best. You could lift Jamaican Style Jerk with helicopters and ship it back to Jamaica, set it down in a randomly location and it wouldn't change it a bit. And that's what you want, isn't it?",
"Go early, this place is so good they run out of food pretty quickly....the owner is extremely nice!! Don't worry about the location...no one will bother you if you don't bother them. The food is good and the owner is better!",
"I found this place by accident and had to try it... even though I have to travel all across town to get there I always go back at least once a month because the food is soo good and spicy. I strongly recommend itif you wanna try real and good jamaican food.",
"Wow, I dreamed that I reviewed this place. Since ya'll aren't in my dreams, I'll recap here. Once I found out that Jamaican Style Jerk was otherwise known as 'the carryout place on 34th and Keystone attached to the liquor store that used to be a Shell' I knew I had to stop there. I picked up some curried goat, rice and peas and plantains (I asked specifically about them), plus a ginger beer. I was on my way to work, and didn't sample it until I got there, and it was on and popping after that. Super awesome curry, perfectly cooked meat, and I couldn't stop eating. Oh goodness, I couldn't stop! My mom stopped through randomly and I gave her my plate, with the exhortation to get it out of my sight so I could stop eating and start working. She did- and that was the last I saw of my curry, sniff. She said the rice was calling to her. All I know is, it's calling to me, and I want to answer! The only reason that a 5 star wasn't given is that their hours are short, but that's a minor pick. Go! Eat! Love!",
"We were driving down keystone and saw this place. I recommended to my girlfriend we stop but she was reluctant because of the location being attached to the liquor store. I said that means one of two things, it's either excellent or horrible, there would be no in between. My girlfriend has a friend who's from Jamaica so she asked her if the place was any good. A simple \"That place is ma spot\" made up our minds that we definitely had to go back and try it sometime and it didn't disappoint. \n\nThe food turned out to be very good and service was friendly and quick. We had the pork and chicken with rice and peas. Both were tender and moist with great tasting sauces. The rice and peas was only mediocre, but all in all it was a great experience. There's only one table outside so it's not a destination but it's great for takeout when your wanting Jamaican bbq.",
"Really tasty jerk chicken, nice rice and peas and plantain. I am not as crazy about the patties, but hey! The rib \"sandwich\" is a monster. Very nicely prepared food, exceedingly well priced -- and pretty popular at lunch, so expect to wait as each order is prepared one at a time.",
"Whoever has seen me in the last two days has had to deal with my hyperbolic talk of this place, like \"THIS IS THE BEST MEAT ON THE PLANET.\" \n\nI'm not kidding. \n\nI have traveled far & wide, partly to have and to hold, to find and to experience places like this. \n\nThere are hundreds of restaurants, bars and stands that I've had a perfect experience. Think of it like movies: there are hundreds upon dozens more movies that I walk away feeling: \"that was a perfect movie.\" But then... there are some that live in my fistful of favorites and get the title: best ever. \n\nI've eaten $80 dry aged steaks. \"Best Burger in The World.\" Michelin Starred Chef's five course dinners. Indy's finest dining spots. And street food from San Francisco to Mexico City to Jamaica, and this street food / liquor store stand... is the best food on the planet. \n\nI traveled the streets of Jamaica a few years ago... ate at every stand, and yes it was remarkable... but this is, this is Jamaican food / all meats perfected. \n\nAnd I'm talking about their ribs. \n\nI have no idea why it took me 18 months to return. \n\nA half slab of their pork ribs is more than enough for one. They're served with sauce on their side. \n\nI really have no idea what to say at this point other than... you have $9 somewhere... save up for it... and go. I arrived at 1145 and the ribs were ready -- straight from the parking lot smoker.",
"This place is great. I've been dying for jerk chicken ever since Caribbean Flava on 46th Street closed. I've had the jerk chicken and pork, and both are tremendous. Served with Jamaican-style rice and beans and fried plantains, it also comes with a side of jerk sauce (I always ask for the hot). Love it! I'll probably go here once a week... it really is the perfect meal."

"Every time I head home to Idaho I have list of must-go places.. DK Donuts is always at the top! I can't even narrow down for a recommendation.. whatever you get you will crave it ever after I promise.",
"DK is simple but they do what they do.. amazingly well, with super friendly service. My sister and I went a few days ago after a job interview for a quick pick-me-up. \n\nYum. Creme-filled, flaky delicacies for under a dollar can't be beat. Get napkins, they can be sticky and messy but ooohh so good.",
"Ahh DK Donuts- some mornings the smell is like Heaven on earth.. others it's like demonic temptation from the other place! The folks at DK produce fresh wonderful donuts and sell them at extremely fair prices. I don't find their brewed coffee to be among the best in town, but they do a nice job with espresso drinks. Try a buttermilk bar.. after five years on Boise I've yet to find a better one- they are amazing!! Krispy Creme? BAH, if you like a puff of air that melts when you stick it in your mouth! DK donuts have some chutzpah and they really help your coffee break tide you over until lunch! They just upgraded their hours. they are now open past 2:30pm!\n\nEdited to add: I don't do \"fancy\" donuts.. my tastes are to the simple. The plain or plain glazed old fashioneds and buttermilk bars. Contrary to other reviews, I've found their apple fritters to be tasty as well. Opinions are like armpits, everyone has them. Oh and by the by I am neither a family friend nor a relation of ANYONE at DK donuts. I work across the street. If you're in it for the frosting, the filling or the sprinkles, go up the street to Albertsons. I also said the donuts I have had have been FRESH, and the last time I looked, fresh and homemade are not synonyms.",
"I gotta disagree with the others. The donuts here are fine, but nothing, NOTHING here is made from scratch. Take a look at the tubs of filling and mixes in the back.\n\nOn the upside, you can get a handy, clean used bucket for $1.",
"I can't say a bad thing about DK. Their donuts are amazing - especially the bacon maple bars. Try them, you won't be disappointed.",
"Bacon maple? Yeah they've got em! Environment is kind of a dive but the donuts are super great!",
"DK Donuts is best donut shop in the whole entire world. The service is better than that of Versailles. All the donuts are like biting into the ambrosia of heaven. Eating their donuts is like being in paradise. After just one bite I am in ecstasy. The warm quiet atmosphere makes it my second home. I wish I could move my bed in so that I could be there all the time. The wondrous aromas get my mouth watering and my taste buds dancing with excitement. the astoundingly low prices are far less than they should be for the quality of product that I always receive, it is practically robbery. Its central location makes it a staple location and an easy to access place for visitors and residents. The local ownership is a huge plus, no franchise can top it. Whenever I go in there is an instant feeling of community and friendship that comes from the wonderful employees. Even the teenagers treat me with respect and are hardworking individuals. It is a fine establishment and I would travel thousands of miles just to have one taste of their sensational masterpieces of fried dough. No matter where i live in my lifetime I will always make it a priority to come back to the magnificent DK Donuts",
"Very friendly and courteous staff!... Most importantly, yummy donuts! Something I'll remember Boise by!",
"They rep the California-style donut hard here. If you're into that sort of thing, and who isn't, I'd recommend these dudes (or DK's much improved Meridian outpost) over Nampa's similar Daylight Donuts.\n\nThe maple bacon bar hogs all the hype, and it's totally justified, but DK's greatest achievement in donut engineering is actually their old-fashioned crueller. All their cake donuts delight me, but that crueller represents everything that makes California donuts great. Not only is it submerged in hot grease long enough for a perfectly crisped exterior to form, it's also smothered with enough saucy, butter-loaded glaze that the top few layers of the pastry get thoroughly soaked. It's special. Like a donut should be.",
"I have simple tastes.. I don't need the Krispy machine of glazing to buy donuts... Sure it's cool to look at and watch, but DK has the corner on the fried yumminess sector. The thing that stands out for me is the value. a dozen for $9 GREAT DEAL! I am pretty cheap, so the price is great for me.. on top of that, the donuts are amazing. I have not had one that I didn't like. Granted, I haven't tried all of them yet. All in all, this place is one of the few small town donut shops left. No thanks, Corporate Dunkin-Krispy, I'll take local."

"I received some sourdough bread from this market as a Christmas gift. It is the best bread I have ever eaten in my life...okay top three best breads (my mother in law makes a mean yeast roll). I will be driving twice a month to get it and I will never again buy bread from any other place in Nashville.",
"I start craving the Buggy Wheel sandwich as soon as I know I'm heading toward Nolensville. It's filled with generous amounts of smoked turkey and swiss, and has this strawberry jalapeno jam in it that just makes it. There are other sandwiches here I'd like to try but haven't yet. The market sells tons of Amish made goods like breads, cheeses, candy, biscuit mixes, and much more. I've tried both the saltwater taffy and the peanut butter cups and they were both very good. The man who works at the front cashier is extremely friendly; may be the owner but I'm not sure. If not he should be employee of the year. The floors appear to be original wood and I feel like I'm in a large cabin in the woods when I'm here.",
"They have the best bread...period. We no longer buy bread from grocery stores as a result of none of it being able to compare to the sourdough and wheat loaf at the Amish Market. \n\nWe only eat fish so I was unable to try a sandwich (I don't like cheese sandwiches.) The jury is still out on the Strawberry Jam...my husband loves it but I don't think its that great. The caramel corn puffs are to die for. \n\nI will continue to buy bread from the market but overall I was not impressed. The only reason I gave it three stars is because of the bread.",
"The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I found the best horseradish cheddar cheese there!! They have all kinds of yummy little treats you'd have a hard time finding anywhere else. It's going to be a regular stop for me!!",
"Had the Buggy Wheel and my DH had the Washboard Sammich. Both quite tasty. We love the independent places that are owner operated. \n\nDarin checked us out, and shared his growing vision for the business (and a great card trick). Hopefully folks will partake of the newly planned dinners - sounds like a blast. He also shared that they would like to lean towards serving mostly locally sourced foods - PLEASE let him know how you feel about that! Wish we lived closer.\n\nIf I were to make one constructive criticism, it would be that the \"store\" part looked very poorly inventoried when we were there. This can be a problem for repeat business, as it looks as though you are going out of business - kind of a self fulfilling prophesy.",
"So many reasons to love this place! \n\nThe Saturday morning breakfast is amazing. Biscuits, pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, & gravy with fresh Amish butter, syrup, & jams. Their weekend evening BBQ's are also delicious! Burgers, chicken, & sides.\n\nTheir deli sandwiches are so good and they're huge! Everything in the store was hand picked by the owner, Darin and he will be more than happy to explain the origin and additional facts about each product. You can tell he's proud of the products he sells, and he should be because most, if not all are local, including farm raised organic beef, cheeses and other dairy products from Hatcher Farms, and some of the best bakery items you'll ever have! \n\nThey also have a section of old fashioned candy and Coca-Cola in a glass bottle. \n\nThe only thing in the whole store that I'm not crazy about is the Pied Piper Ice Cream. I'm just not a fan.\n\nGo see Darin and the rest of the crew at The Feed Mill. You won't be sorry you did!",
"It's my first time here and I'm blown away. I just had The Famous Buggy Wheel Sandwich and I want another (not to say it's small - it's very girthy) It has this strawberry-jalapeño jam in it that I've never tried before nor would I have even thought to put it in a sandwich. The bread is baked fresh every day, so it has that softness and fresh fluff to it. Everything in the store is Amish. Everything looks amazing. The free taste test of the day was their cinnamon roll and I won't be buying those cylinders from the store anymore. This place has made me an instantaneous regular.\n\nPs They have pure local honey - so anyone with allergies needs to make a medical visit here and get it. Hard life eating honey and ridding yourself of Nashville pollen allergies..",
"We had breakfast here on 9/17/11. I have to say, at first glance the food didn't look that good...but looks are deceiving because everything was GREAT! I avoid biscuits & gravy because I usually try to eat more protein in the morning, and most B&G looks like chunky wall paper paste. My husband did choose the B&G and ended up sharing half of it with me...it was delicious! Everything was tasty and the people were so friendly. \nADDED BONUS: We found the first REALLY good extra sharp cheddar since we moved down here...the kind that kind of hurts when you eat it. FINALLY! Of course, it was made in Millersburg, OH, a town that could be an honorary Wisconsin town...if they'd allow such a thing. \nI have a feeling we'll be at ACM a lot.",
"Yum! All you can eat breakfast...and then some! The sausage, biscuits and eggs were great. The pancakes were awesome though. I seem some visits in my future just for the pancakes. \n\nThe staff was very welcoming. Unknowingly we got there five minutes before bfast was over, but they let us know that they would keep everything warm until we had our fill.\n\nThey sell a variety of things that I want to go back and browse when we have more time...homemade soap, pies, breads and pastries and a wall I'd homemade candy. I think that they actually serve lunch, dinner and ice-cream as well.",
"Love the pancakes, the sandwiches, the grape chicken salad, and the amish bread....heaven!! Love that I can buy local milk, and Darin is great guy! Go check out the Feed Mill, you will be glad you came!"

"When we first visited the Ice Centre, we know there is a restaurant going to be open in the Centre. It take them a year for this restaurant to be open. When we know about the news for opening this month, we decided to stop by and check. I also invite couple of Yelp friends to join us. \n\nJudging the price of the menu, it is about 10% more than regular restaurant. However we were no regrets that because the food measured up with the price we paid. It still has some bump to iron out, our waitress is still don't know which beer is happy hours. They offer happy hours item from 4 pm to 7 pm Monday to Friday. The app is 25% off from the pregame section. The draft beer is $2 off. \n\nWe started with Ybor egg roll. It has mojo pork, ham and salami wrap together. Who can resist it. I also get the tuna bowl. It seared blacken Ahi tuna over rice and Asian slaw. It has the honey soy ginger sauce. It was quite good. Lastly we have the Top Shelf wings. This is must have item. It is about $0.20 more than normal outside restaurant wing place. However, it worth the money. This wing is marinated in mojo sauce, then grill over the open flame and top with the house sauce. It was delicious. \n\nOverall is good experience. The place has TV. But who actually watched it when you can see live hockey from the high school competition. Love the game, love the food.",
"Came here thanks to recommendation from the great Yelpies, Boon & Grace! We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and awesomeness of this grill inside the ice rink. We liked everything we ordered. The food was more gourmet than typical bar food and offered good selection, like tuna tartare, tuna bowl as well as salads and grill selections. I do have to knock their point for flubbing happy hour offers. We ordered draft beers thinking they were part of the HP and later they told us that they were not-- only 4 beers were part of HP. In my opinion, since they mistakenly told us all beers were included at first, they should have honored HP prices. This restaurant is still very new and so is the staff so hopefully they get this right.",
"Wow! This restaurant you can eat meal, drink beer and watch live hockey game at the same time. \"Top Shelf Sports Lounge is a 2,500 Sq ft. full service, high energy restaurant and bar that position on the second floor in the dead center of the Florida Hospital Center Ice Facility\" There are happy hour deal for certain beer and appetizers.\nThe menu was well designed. They cover everybody's old time favorites- BBQ , burger, sub, taco , chicken wings and the trendy Poke bowl. We tried their chicken wings, tuna bowl and they were delicious . It was fun watching sports programs from TV on the wall as well as the real hockey game down at the rings. Their glass wall overlook the two ice skating rings that on Friday night the high school hockey league was playing. \nGood service, cool ambience and yummy food, this is a sport bar not to miss, specially hockey fans!",
"The menu has been fluid in developing into the opposite of all Cysco and other food service formulas AKA sports bars.\nThe chicken wings stand on there own as a destination dish not simply a bar food check boxes.\nConsidering the venue overall is know for hockey it is not at all surprising to find Poutine on the menu in a couple forms. If only the curds were yellow and mild, then this could be the best hockey sports bar in Tampa.",
"This is the best sports bar and restaurant you can go to in Wesley Chapel! Located on the second floor of Florida Hospital Center Ice, it overlooks Rink B and Rink D. Like any sports bar you can watch any sport on any of the many TV's they have. You can also watch hockey/figure skating/curling/public skating in person while dining or having a drink. Then if all of that watching gets you motivated you can go and do it at the same place! \n\nThere is a full bar including many craft beers and the owners very own tap of 81bay's beers. There is also many other local Tampa brews on tap! \n\nAs for the food, many are surprised that this is not your average sports food there is a nice diversity and there are many healthy options and divulgent options too for any diet or preference. The food may take a bit longer wait than expected but that is only because almost everything is made fresh from scratch in the kitchen. There is a snack bar owned by the same owners downstairs in the rink if you are more in a hurry.\n\nTheir menu has influences like Ybor City for the Ybor Eggrolls, Canadian Hockey traditional Poutine dishes, and a Tampa Bay Lightning Bleu Burger. They have a small kids menu and the whole restaurant including the bar is Kid-friendly. The chef is an amazing person who sometimes comes out to talk to customers as are all the staff including the owners, bartenders, hostess, servers, and kitchen staff. They also cater and are very patient and accommodating to any problems or special requests.\n\nI highly recommend this restaurant! Make sure to stop by if you are looking for something more fun, exciting, and authentic than a chain-restaurant can provide you.",
"Amazing food, Amazing Bar, Amazing service!! \n\nHappy hour Monday- Friday, and Wing Wednesday (.75) best day to catch their awesome grilled wings.",
"Starting with the positive, the Cuban egg rolls are great, the homemade chips and wings are good (that all comes on one appetizer). The negative is very, very slow service and very pricey. It was $85 for a family of 4 with 3 soft drinks and water, 1 appetizer and we each ordered a meal. The rest of the food was only average. And the menu has changed, so what you see online may not be what they actually have.",
"Absolutely love this place! The food was excellent and the service was as well. Very cool place to watch lighting games!",
"Went there for the first time Saturday. Unbelievable!! I even had our waitress give much compliments to the cooks. Food was unbelievable!! Can't wait to go back!",
"Valerie was a top notch server and really is the reason for us coming away with such a ++++ impression. The wings had excellent flavor - we prefer crispier wings but these are grilled and the flavor more than made up for them being less than crispy. The Drunken Sloppy Joe sandwich was great. We will be back!"

"Over-priced and bad service! Two person per hookah and added charge per added person to use the same hookah!!!",
"FINALLY! A hookah bar done right Open till 3AM full bar great live music sexy ladies around great food great vibes all around a great atmosphere. Been to more than 10 hookah bars but this is my favorite hookah bar after one visit.",
"Visited Nashville this past weekend and when we got there they charge $10 for guys I guess and ladies are free.. We were seated right away.. Was given a menu and the waitress disappeared for longer than desired however came back and took our order nonetheless.. Once we got our hookah the mouthpieces that we were given didn't fit so we got the attention of another waitress who then told us basically in so many words that it is what it is and to bend the pieces and force them on the hose of the hookah? We were a little pissed but anyways other than that this place was coo.. When you check in on yelp you can get a 10% discount off your entire bill. I think this night be new because our waitress was a bit shocked when I showed her the YELP coupon and took her forever to make the change on our bill. In the meantime we were patiently waiting for our $1.33 to be taken off haha!",
"Best hookah place I been to i came from Chicago an moved over here I came to this place an was amazed \nThey have live dj playing EDM music an trap music it's a party specially if you with a group of friends it's a blast \nYou gotta go to experience it \nThe hookah are cheap not expensive \nGreat place",
"After a day spent downtown at a festival surrounded by beer, wings, music, and a ton of folks, I closed my eyes and opened them at Brugada.* I was never one for checking out hookah bars. I was always under the impression that everyone passed the pipe around as is and if you know anything about me, you know that I don't do germs. But, life happens and I found myself at a hookah bar. When in Rome...\n\nSo, thank goodness the REAL way to enjoy hookah is with your own personal mouth piece. Okay. I can do this. Well, I thought. I now know why Bill Clinton claims that he didn't inhale. Breathing in fire (willingly) is not a lot of fun. I know I am in the minority and people from all over enjoy smoking items of all sorts. For me, I'll keep my vices in liquid and food forms. It probably didn't help my case that I was smoking Blue Mist. If Breaking Bad taught us anything, it's that most things blue are made of crack... or, meth. And, they're probably not good for us.** So, smoking something called blue *anything* is probably not a good idea. And, judging by how out of control my new group was getting (oh, I didn't mention that I came here with strangers? Yeah. All day beer, wings, music, and more festival... bad decision jeans are all the rage), we probably made that point several times over.\n\nSince we were already smoking (not a sentence I use regularly), why not go all in with drinks and food? I kept things at 100 and ordered a Blue Brugada. What? I told you my bad decision jeans were on (and my butt looked good in them) and I was already smoking something blue. Why not go for the drink as well? Adding to the bad decision. It was $5. No good came from this... or, maybe, it was all good. I don't know. I have my kidneys. It's a win. Because things were spiraling, I went for the trifecta and went to town on the chicken nachos. I don't know whether they truly were the best thing I'd eaten that week or if I was well past the point of acceptable blue intake, but those nachos were damn good. And, at $10, a bargain for all the food you get with them. To finish things off, I demanded birthday cake from the (large) party who was celebrating. I may have danced with them as well. It's a blur. I blame the blue.\n\nBut, I'd come back for more.\n\n*I'm pretty sure that's how things went.\n**That said, I will NEVER give up blue drink. NEVER!",
"Super fun! My girls and I love smoking hookah and hearing good music, so this place is one of our favs!",
"WORSE service ever! The waitress we had was completely incompetent. I saw a few other waitresses who were attentive but we got stuck with a terrible one. Took 2 and a half hours to receive food, they said they were busy but if you looked around they were not. It was quicker to go to the bar and get a drink then to ask the waitress. I will never go back to this place, ohh on top of all of terrible service, the waitress automatically drops in 20% on the bill even though there were three of us. I complained that we did not receive our food, the order was incorrect, and it took almost 3 hours and she basically looked at me and was like you still have to pay it.",
"It seems like s cool place however they check all black males for belts and every other rule that they have. I watched countless white males go in without being checked. That's not cool at cool at all.",
"I really enjoyed the food and the vibe! Chasity was the BEST! No complaints at all! I loved my experience very much! I will be visiting Chasity soon lol! My favorite spot so far!!",
"Nice switch of pace to sit back and relax after a honky tonk overload. My buddies and I are Hookah pheens wanted to get a good bowl during our trip to Nash. This place seemed like the best fit. Its really close to broadway, they serve drinks and is a place we can continue our party. The place was kind of empty for a friday night. But all that mattered was the hookah, it smoked pretty good, and was packed pretty well. Its a nice looking place! Ps the server didnt know what baklava was, even though its on the menu. PPS and know I know why, because it was pretty bad."

"A Knish? In Conshohocken? \n\nI wouldn't have believed it either, until I finally took a moment to peruse a new addition to our pile of to-go menus. Sure enough, Izenberg's Deli at the corner of Butler and North Lane features this uncommon Jewish nosh in bold faced print on their menu, so I got on the phone to put in an order. \n\n\"You know those take 45 minutes?\" asked the voice on the other end. No problemo, I said. As far as I'm concerned, any lunchtime treat that takes so long to prepare is probably worth the wait. \n\nI got there about three minutes early, and chatted with the woman behind the counter while I waited. She said it was the same business which had been in Lafayette Hill, had then moved to King of Prussia, and finally found their way to Conshy almost a year ago. Most of their business is catering, so their phone number is more important than their location, I suppose. \n\nI rushed my knish home to snap photos and dive in. For those of you who didn't know (myself included), a knish is just a sandwich in a puff pastry instead of bread. This one was flaky and delicately sweet, and inside awaited a good half pound of corned beef with a light helping of sauerkraut, a stretchy layer of melted Swiss cheese and drips of Russian dressing. Two big pickle slices on the side, way too much food for one sitting and $7.50 out of my pocket. What's to complain about? \n\nAwkward location with little parking, but call ahead and you should be in and out in no time. I'll be back very soon to try the brisket, which both owners claimed was their best menu item. Caaaaaan't wait.",
"The owners at Izenberg's recommended I try the brisket sandwich the next time I visit.\n\nSo I tried. And I tried. And I tried. And I tried.... I've heard this song before.\n\nThe first failure came when I called on a Saturday, and the brisket had another three hours before it would be ready. Me, I was hungry, so I said I'd try again another time. When I did, a few days later, there was no answer. I checked their hours, and should have been good to go. But even after waiting thirty, sixty, ninety minutes, there was no answer.\n\nA few days later, no luck. Another day later, still no luck. Finally I got up the nerve to check things out in person, and discovered a sign on the door noting an electrical problem in the building or something like that. Not their fault, and their misfortune kind of made me want to redouble my efforts in a small show of support.\n\nSure enough, I got my sandwich the very next day. It came on a kaiser roll with provolone, fried onions, horseradish and a side of au jus. The amount of jus seemed extravagant at first, until I drained nearly all of it before the sandwich was done. It lived up to my expectations in every way, save for the onions - they were stringy and slipped out instead of letting me bite through.\n\nThe sandwich was worth the wait, a delicious lunch that certainly lived up to the owners' recommendations. But for the stringy onions, the size to price ratio, and (much less so) for the persistence required (again, not really their fault), I have to go four stars instead of five. Between this and my first review, a 4-star average is still nothing to sneeze at.",
"Guess what? Back in the old days places would run out of stuff!\n\nWhy? Because they made it fresh, because they did not want to have left overs because they did not serve left overs the second (or the Xth) day. \n\nBusinesses had personality, and sometimes because the city the place is in is business hostile establishments didn't have nice big easy to see signs, so places were not as easy to find as we have grown accustomed to in the 21st century consumer America.\n\nEverything old is new again or whatever other trite expression ya want - Mrs. Izenberg made us some great turkey sandwiches - a delicious turkey club with bacon freshly cooked to order and a traditional turkey on rye with cole slaw and russian. \n\nYeah I got cheese on it as the photos show but that was not to besmirch my cred (\"corned beef on white bread with, uh, mayonnaise and tomatoes and lettuce.\" (extra credit for those under 30 who can cite the reference w/o using google!)) but to try the cheese which was good quality as opposed to the yellow crap some places try to get away with. It was good BTW - Cooper Sharp I think.\n\nMrs. Izenberg told us that they were out of brisket just like Tom's troubles in the previous review. She told us we needed to come back and try it, and judging from our two superb sandwiches, a nice Levis hot dog on a great roll this place makes great stuff for reasonable prices for the quality and quantity you get.\n\nhttp://www.levishotdogs.com/\n\n(not Levi's as in the jeans and the long gone NYC rye bread BTW as Mrs. Izenberg corrected me with a winning smile)\n\nWe did have less then great fries - they had those thin real french fries just like you get in France - kind of like potato sticks - I like thick fries better and so does Mrs. Izenberg - she said they don't keep much stock and last time they went to their supplier they were out of the thick fries so they got the shoe strings - Mrs. Izenberg assured me she would have their standards back in next time I came by! \n\nI think this place is great and will be back soon!",
"is this place ever open? They never answer the phone and whenever I try to stop by, during their posted business hours, they are never open",
"Have you tried their Briscut? OMG it is the best. Their Chix salad out of this world! Yes they do \"sell out\" of stuff because it is ALWAYS fresh. Need something in a jiffy, they will make it happen. I truly love dealing with Fred and Julia! Oh, and their corned beef special! Try that. Wait, also their Cabbage Soup!",
"The brisket sandwich is amazing! The meat is tender, juicy, and flavorful with the best au jus (I always get extra!). I always get it to go because I end up looking like a pig because the juice practically drips down your chin. Emily Post would have an aneurysm. The reuben knish is also a tasty option if you are looking for something a little different. The turkey club is a more ladylike yet still delicious option with flavorful bacon. Prices are great. Most sandwiches are under $7.",
"Went to Izenberg's around noon thirty for a sandwich this afternoon. It's now 4pm, and I've only managed to eat a few bites. And not just because I'm a slow eater. \n\nI ordered a pastrami special, with slaw and swiss on rye. I ordered at the counter, and it only took a few minutes to come out since they weren't busy. I've had this place bookmarked forEVER, since I read Tom S.'s first review about the reuben knish. So I was super disappointed when I got home and opened up my sandwich. Seriously, the pastrami is literally 50% fat. I was grossed out enough that I've been considering taking it back since I live so close. I did take a picture of the sandwich, and posted it here. So if it looks normal to you, let me know and call me crazy. I also ordered a regular knish and it was okay. The potato part was really good, but the outside is a little dry. \n\nThe other reviews are all positive, and so it almost makes me want to give Izenberg's one more time. I'm hoping I just went on a bad day, but it will probably be a while before I go back.",
"The picture of the pastrami special looked so good, I went to Izenberg's for lunch and was delighted with my hot sandwich. I cannot imagine eating cold pastrami, because of the nature of the meat. Unless processed, it is fatty and everyone knows cold fat cooagulates. If you want a cold lunchmeat special, order corn beef not pastrami. Izenberg's is great!",
"My family and I visited Izenberg's Deli for lunch. We knew of Izenberg's for years from their old location. The qualify to food has not change...which means it was excellent! I had the turkey special which was brimming with fresh turkey and perfect cole slaw. \n\nMy wife had the quiche and she said it was wonderful. She thoroughly enjoyed her lunch and I call tell since we have been married for 27 years!\n\nWe will go back again. The owners of Izenberg's are very friendly and are very tuned in to quality food and preparation. I can't wait to use them for my next catering job.",
"Thought I had reviewed this great little place. Easy to miss at the very top of Conshie on way to Plymouth (its next to Hometown Auto) you dont want to mss it. Corned Beef was luscious, Pastrami was smokey and salty and wonderful. Its a Mom and Pop type place with a few tables. I understand that breakfast is even better (have to try that next). They do catering as well so make sure you use these great folks. Finally a great deli in the area!"

"Quality with that \"Mom & Pop\" feel. While Sue's is very small and certainly not modern in any way, that sort of adds to the charm of this independent small business. Sue herself, an adorable little old lady, takes your order and helps prepare the food. There may not be an extensive menu, but what they do offer is done right. With a name like Sue's Gyros, you can expect that the star of the show is the traditional Gyros sandwich. These are full of flavor and your choice of toppings, ranging from the tasty and traditional cucumber yogurt dressing (tsatsiki) and feta cheese to the oddly non-traditional ranch dressing and jalapeo peppers. While I am all about authentic, I love the balance of combining tsatsiki with jalapeos. The Gyros meet is moist and extremely flavorful. The pitas are soft and substantial. Overall, these are great gyros. The big seller is the lunch combo special. This includes a Gyros sandwich, fries (very nicely spiced), and a drink. It was odd the first time I saw a customer walk behind the counter to refill his beverage, but as it turns out, this is commonplace at Sue's. Almost everyone there is a regular, because once you have talked to Sue and tasted her Gyros; you will come back for more. There are many other menu items that I have seen or tasted. The baklava didn't really impress me much, but everything else was quite good. If I am ordering from Sue's though, it's almost always for those wonderful Gyros!\nThis is not health food, but it is good food offered up in a personalized way that is refreshing in a town overrun by mediocre chain restaurants.",
"My favorite greek place in town. I love the gyro platter served with lamb (which is seasoned perfectly) or chicken. The rice and tabouli salad perfectly complete the meat and cucumber sauce. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu since you can tell the food is made with love. I've gotten carry out dozens of times and every time Sue is there!",
"Very much love the Gyro combo plate. Tasty meat, excellent sauce and an all around great value",
"The store is no longer owned by Sue and is now called KING GYROS. Current owner is not Greek but a Coptic Egyptian. Very friendly gentleman. If you have eaten at the Pyramids Cafe (also owned by Coptic Egyptians) in the Cool Springs Mall, this has the same flavor. Excellent. I prefer ranch over the tahini-taziki sauce and they have great ranch. Gyro meat is fantastic and huge portions are overflowing the pita bread. Loved the rice (substituted from the fries) as well. Delicious with the Ranch. Will be back again.",
"I walked in there on my first day of moving in to Franklin. I've been back many times since July. I love their food, my family does too. It's always fresh, tasty, plentiful and well-priced. Apart from the gyros and the salads, I love their spanakopita. Their humus is excellent and so are their desserts!",
"Outstanding. Great food. Fast service. Warm friendly staff. Tons of meat on the sandwich. Fresh sides. \n\nHard to find good fast Greek god, but this place knocks it out of the park.",
"Best falafel sandwich I've had in franklin. It was amazing. I was expecting mediocre but was blown away. My husband was peeved about the plastic silverware, and always is when we're at a restaurant without real silverware, but other than that it was SO GOOD! Haha",
"Great traditional food. Always happy when a place like this has Baba Ganoosh. Great tabouli, too.",
"The real deal when it comes to Gyros, Tabouli, and Grape Leaves. I had the chance to live overseas as a child, and this is great. A wonderful small neighborhood restaurant. Dollar for dollar, great value, and the place is worn but spotless.",
"Great service, friendly owner, awesome philly steak sandwiches, gyro's and the best hummus! Falafel is good too. This place is a diamond in a rough. I am addicted to it."

"this place is the jam....the green sauce will melt yo face. the ladies are nice. its clean.",
"I'm not kidding around when I say this is THE PLACE for tacos and other such foods in Nashville. Totally legit, this place is the real deal. The staff are some of the nicest I've come across and the price is right! \n\nAll the tacos are amazing, but I HIGHLY suggest the Barbacoa Torta. Thank me later.",
"I had found this place randomly on Yelp when I was eating at a thai place nearby...I read the reviews and I knew I had to go try it. So me and a co-worker went over there with no expectations and I was BLOWN away at how wonderful their taco's were. I had the Chorizo and Barbacoa Taco's(with legit corn tortillas). Fantastic. Can't wait to go back and try the Chorizo Burrito.",
"This place is comparable to Taqueria San Luis. It's pretty good, but not as good as some of the Mexican food trucks (roach coaches) available in Nashville. Overall the meat is more juicy than the meat at the Taqueria San Luis window. I ordered 4 items: chicken quesadilla and three tacos (chicharron, asada, and pastor).\n\nThe chicken quesadilla is relatively similar to the one at Taqueria San Luis--relatively flavorless but juicy. The chicharron taco was a pleasant surprise because it's often not available at most Mexican places in Nashville. It was juicy and spicy, but had moderate flavor. The asada here is more juicy but less flavorful than the asada at Taqueria San Luis. And the pastor is juicy, more spicy than most places, but not as flavorful as the pastor found at food trucks.\n\nWhen I looked around me, I noticed a lot of non-Hispanic clientele. It's a decent joint that's better than most Mexican restaurants in Nashville but definitely not the best. I feel that the food items aren't quite flavorful, but try to make up by adding more spice than you would find at other establishments. I do appreciate the wider variety here than at San Luis or the delicious Mexican food trucks.\n\n1 quesadilla ($5) + 3 tacos ($1) = $8.00.",
"You know you are getting LEGIT mexican food when you are sitting at a fold up table with fold down chairs underneath a carport right next to the drive thru....best taco's in Nashville is a statement and it's true...the green sauce is the greatest....I love ordering their Chorizo Taco's, mainly because the girl taking my order smiles, which means I know a thing or two about Mexican food. So avoid the CHAIN crappy Tex-Mex places....that litter our town...let those that think great shopping is getting a deal at Big Lots enjoy their crappy mexican food..and come down to this place and have the best tasting taco's you can get in Nashville...cheap as can be too...$1.25 PER TACO...I think Burrito's are $5 bucks and HUGE....girth not length...just like the ladies like...uh....I'll stop while I'm ahead....",
"Here's what to expect if you've never ordered legit tacos before...\n\nTacos are one dollar.\n\nCorn tortillas, shredded smoked meats (chicken, beef, pork, etc), onions, cilantro, lime. They will give you a bottle of light green sauce to put on your taco. It's spicy and the best we can tell, we think it's avocado and sour cream based (?). Delish. \n\nThere is no lettuce or tomato on a real taco. \n\nThis place is awesome. Don't be afraid. Just do it.",
"Really delicious. Really fresh corn tortilla, juicy well seasoned meats (Ihave tried tongue*****, and chicken****), topped with grilled onions and an amazing dreamy, creamy sauce. I will definitely go again. It is hard to see from the road, set a bit back. You can park right next door. The people are friendly, the service was really fast. A great place for lunch.",
"The food is fantastic. My go to just about anywhere is a torta al pastor. These guys nail it. Location is a plus. If you go on a warm day you can close your eyes and wonder whether you've died and gone to Texas.",
"Outstanding. Authentic. Delicious. Chicken, carnitas, and barbacoa are my faves, but I've had them all.",
"Lets be honest here, from looking at the building, you might think the food would be on the sketchy side. The outdoor seating is under a carport next to the drive thru, the menu is painted on the side of the building and there is what appears to be a play area for kids fenced off with chicken wire. However, that has no bearing on the quality of the food. \n\nThe food is great, reasonably priced and the green sauce they give you with your order is nothing short of fantabulous. If you happen to be there when they have the grills going, you'll think you have died and gone to heaven. \n\nDon't judge a book by its cover. Be brave, step out of your comfort zone, live a little for the love of... Just try it, you will be glad you did."

"So excited when I found out about this new healthy food place! Had the açaí bowl today and it was amazing. All the ingredients were fresh and it was so refreshing on this warm spring day. They have a nice variety on the menu. It's not all smoothies like I thought. Definitely will be back to try out one of their salads or toasts. \n\nThe space is also super cute. I like the variety of seating they have. I sat in the back room which felt like a little oasis of its own. It was such a warm and inviting place to be in. The owners are also so sweet and welcoming. A great place to bring a family too. This is just what the area needed an organic and non-gmo place! So happy to finally be able to get some healthy smoothies and açaí bowls too. I'll probably be frequently going here so I'll update my review as I try more items on the menu. \n\nAlso, the owners mentioned they will be starting a loyalty program soon so keep an eye out for that!",
"one of my favorite new places in malvern. GREAT FOOD. everything is made fresh to order. So fresh and yummy. The owners are so welcoming. The actual space is cozy. I cannot recommend this place enough",
"Stopped in for a cup of coffee the other day and was so surprised at what I found! Open, modern, cozy transformation of a former Train Store that serves all natural food. So today I brought in my husband. All natural does not mean zero taste, bland, cardboard btw--giant pop of flavors! See my pic of a hearty açaí bowl, - giant portion with super sweet berries, complimented by a date/pistachio granola that is above and beyond any old bagged stuff. Coffee is Vermont-sourced and will be my go to on the way to the office (low acid super robust) from here on... give this place a try -- we tried it for breakfast but will be here for lunch/dinner (yes they serve meat!!)",
"This time last month I had my son's Christening celebration here and I couldn't have been more impressed with the delicious food, fabulous fresh-squeezed juices, cozy environment, fun music playlist, and of course the super friendly and accommodating staff. For being a brand new place and handling an event this size ontop of the usual walk-in clientele, was very impressive. \n\nI was only in town for a short weekend and could only think about having breakfast, lunch, and dinner here each day. I could only hope for them to open one here in Florida! Seriously, there isn't a place comparable. \n\nThe staff genuinely cares about their products and ensures that you know exactly what you are eating/drinking and why they use certain ingredients as opposed to other similar ones. Each and every menu item was carefully thought-out - not only with taste in mind; but the nourishment of your mind, body, and soul! Love this place.",
"So all around completely impressed with this place!!!! \n\nFirst of all, it's owned by a super friendly, ambitious young couple who recently moved to the states from the Czech Republic to live out their \"American Dream\". It feels amazing supporting them here! I had lovely, entertaining conversations with Maros (the 'M' in A&M Factory), and his girlfriend whose name started with an 'A'! \n\nThe decor is so calming and welcoming. I couldn't help but feel I was on the beach in Santa Monica or something, NOT in a suburban small strip mall off a busy highway. It's such a lovely escape from the world outside the front door. It's a gorgeous, minimalistic space with exposed beam, awesome Scandinavian inspired pendant lighting, great textures and textiles, greenery on every table, and towering baskets of fresh fruit scattered about. The space was completely designed, and primarily executed by the couple themselves! Kuddos to them!\n\nThe menu is super creative and extremely health conscious. You can really tell much thought was put into every item they serve. They made all of their own bagels and wraps in house. They are grain aka gluten free, and comprised of Cassava flour. There are clearly marked nut and dairy free items too. Oh, and all of their wares are biodegradable!! Love these people!\n\nEveryone was unbelievably friendly, excited about the space, and extremely knowledgeable about the ingredients in their foods. \n\nNow to the really good stuff, the food! So many tempting choices! I wound up going with the perfectly toasted Kalifornia wrap. It was gluten free and vegan. It had kale, carrots, pistachios, jicama and homemade avocado pesto sauce. It was outrageous! Perhaps the best wrap I've ever had. It was so crunchy and super fresh. An interesting combination of ingredients that worked so well! It had wonderful flavor, and was served with some lightly tossed spinach on the side. Yum! Decent size for the price too! \n\nTorn between one of their fun juices (mojito, apple pie) or a smoothie, I asked Maros his opinion. He steered me in the direction of the \"Hakuna Matata\", a sweet potato based smoothie, and even offered it to me 20% off because I was leary. It was so surprisingly delicious! I finished every sip. It wasn't too thick, and the warm flavors were just right. Try it! \n\nI will make it my mission to be back in this area again just to come here! This was such an awesome lunch stop and a breath of fresh air. I only wish it were closer to the city!! Please go support them so they can earn enough to open another location in Philly and I can eat here regularly!",
"Fresh and healthy food at a reasonable price. I like that everything on the menu is grain and gluten free. Very friendly staff and service in a cool space.",
"Love this place! The ambience, the young ambitious sweet owner couple, the decor, the well thought out menu, the delicious food!\nYou feel relaxed and like you're in Florida rather than a strip mall place in Malvern, Pa. There is no place like this around. They not only put thought into the whole decor but every menu item is grain free, gluten free, organic, real ingredient, real food, made from scratch.\nI'm obsessed with the veggie sauté sandwich, \"cheese\" steak sandwich, açaí bowl, sweet potato fries, avocado pesto, apple pie smoothie, avocado toast with tumeric. I want to try everything on the menu!\nPlease support this awesome local place. This is the type of food everyone should be eating, not processed fake crap served everywhere full of bad things.\nGlad to have found this new gem!",
"Found this place when I was desperately looking for a gluten free breakfast without being concerned about cross-contamination. They have only been open for 6 weeks.\nEureka! The kitchen is GRAIN-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE, PEANUT-FREE, CASHEW-FREE, SOY-FREE, GMO-FREE and DAIRY-FREE (except for goat cheese on listed menu items - but obviously optional).\nNO WAY! \nSmoothies, Protein Shake, Juices, Sandwiches, Salads.\nVegan items indicated as well as nut free items detailed on menu.\nHad a breakfast this time but will be back to try the cauliflower cheese steak and Marley - jerk chicken and date salad or maybe the beet salad or maybe a smoothie bowl...in other words I will be back.\nSafe eating!",
"Excellent cassava flour waffle served with real maple syrup prepared by a friendly staff. I will be back.",
"This place is so well thought out! They have a clean, laid back atmosphere with welcoming people and fresh, delicious food. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here!! My only complaint is that I don't live closer -- I would be an everyday regular!!!!"

"If you want authentic SoCal street tacos...this is it!! Family run! Burritos are amazing!!! You can get 2 plates of tacos and 2 huge burritos for like 20 bucks and you'll make yourself sick it's so good!! Only downfall, is the hours are a little hit n miss \nIf you can catch em...you will go every chance you get!!",
"this place is as legit as it gets! Moving from MIami, it's hard to find authentic mexican food the way your abuelita would make it. This is hands down the best place for some home made style mexican food. Cash only and byob!",
"What a great meal. The menu is painted on the wall. The staff greeted us with a guest check and took our order. While it's not written down, each of the menu items can come with either spicy pork, steak, chicken, tongue, beans or cheese (and probably some others..). We got two tacos (tongue and spicy pork), a cheese quesadilla with beans, a tlayudo (like a Mexican pizza, flour tortilla, thin slices of cabbage, frijoles, cheese, steak, fresh tomato and avocado), and chicken flautas. With 4 drinks, it was $30. Really a bargain- big portions of very well prepared food. The place was clean and inviting, the kitchen open, and staff were friendly and took time to explain things. They didn't have ceviche available at the time, but since it's Memorial Day weekend I appreciate that they might not have been able to get fresh fish and I would rather they not try and serve old raw fish.",
"This place is definitely a hidden gem. We came here with 4other friends and the staff was very inviting and sweet. We ordered the burrito, which was the little girl taking our order her favorite dish. The huaraches dish was awesome! Definitely worth checking out! Their green chile sauce is really good!",
"Had been reading about this place on my neighborhood listserv but still was surprised by the great quality. Menu is written on the wall, not sure the staff spoke English, but the food was wonderful. I had chicken enchiladas which I think came with a mole sauce (am no expert), my husband had beef tacos ($1.25 each). Our friends had burritos which were huge, fresh and tasty.\n\nNo liquor license but folks seemed to be byob, no fountain drinks, no diet drinks. Very casual place, but I'm pretty sure there was a model or actress at the next table. Place was full but not crowded, majority of patrons seemed pretty upscale but relaxed. Prices could be doubled and no questions would arise.\n\nWatching the plates that went by, I thought everything looked great and I definitely want to try more dishes.",
"Great lunch!!!! Everything tasted great! Not missing San Diego food as much as I used to.",
"Amazing food best Mexican food in town no question about it. Authentic Mexican food not your average Tex mex place you would find here in Nashville. I would recommend everything on the menu.",
"All around amazing. Clean, family run and delicious. Burritos we're huge and only 6 dollars!! I will definetly be back",
"absolutely authentic and rock bottom prices. The food was so good. There is a little wait since there seems to be just two people working there. But the food was terrific. So nice to support a couple trying to make it here in business.",
"One of the most authentic Oaxacan taquerias in town. Pupusas, nopal, ceviche, tamales, huaraches, caldos de camarones, empanadas, sopes, enchiladas, tortas, tlayudas and much more. Ask what the daily specials are. Hand made tortillas. Need i say more?"

"Good fresh food (not processed)! The breakfast burrito is solid! Friendly staff. \n\nMore places need to be like this.",
"I came on a weekday morning and ordered the breakfast burrito and green goddess smoothie. They source their sausage locally from Mitchell & Geno located in Philly, the burrito itself was good and filling. I think it was missing the house made pico. No doubt my morning goodies was delicious but a bit pricey which kind of makes me hesitate for a future return. The staff is friendly and gives great recommendations on what to order. \n\nThey also sell different sausages by the pound, some house-made pastries, and other locally made goodies such as soaps, sweets, and honey.\n\nOh almost forgot the most important thing: they brew Revolution Coffee from nearby Collingswood. No need to drive further down. \n\nThis place might be pricey but looks to be of great quality. I would definitely recommend checking this local spot out.",
"Let's start by saying, if you haven't been in before, you should definitely stop by and try one of their burritos or fish tacos for lunch. I usually get a chicken burrito to-go but today I got the fish tacos and wow, they were yummy! Burrito is perfect size for lunch, filling and the price is right. All of the ingredients are sourced locally and everything is noticeably fresh. Nicole and Joe are extremely nice and welcoming every time I come in. I've been grabbing lunch here a couple times a week now. This is the perfect burrito joint I was looking for (they have much more than just burritos, I just always order one). They also have fresh sausage from Mitchell and Geno's. I haven't personally tried the sausage but I'm sure it's as good as everything else they offer.",
"I've been hitting up this place weekly for burritos and they are always spot on. Yummy \"locally sourced\" ingredients. Highly recommended.",
"Excellent breakfast and lunch sandwiches! I seem to prefer the burrito over the long-rolls. The ingredients are fresh, all made in-house (locally sourced or locally produced). The menu changes often but they have some core staples. \n\nThe place is clean. They have tables inside/outside. The prices are reasonable. The owner is a cool gent (very active in the local community). When inside, make sure to take a look at the bulletin board, the owner always has upcoming local events posted.",
"Awesome place with great food and owner. A real hidden gem. \n\nI've been to local links 3 times now and have had a little bit of everything. This morning we got the breakfast burrito and its hands down the best I've had. \n\nExtremely well priced. Can't get enough of this place!",
"We've gotten lunch take out over the last year but this was the first time we went in for breakfast. We tried some fresh mozzarella which was awesome. We shared the breakfast sampler and burrito platter. The pancakes were fresh and tasted wonderful with a hint of cinnamon and real maple syrup. The burrito was stuffed with everything. It was so good! The potatoes came with big fresh cuts of sausage, peppers and onions. We ended with 2 cannoli's. The entire experience was great and we will be back!",
"Have eaten here twice - once for eat-in lunch (there was a limited menu, due to a special event), coffee, and a smoothie, and once for breakfast delivery. Both times were positive interactions with great food.\n\nThe french toast burrito is PHENOMENAL, as is their veggie breakfast burrito (which is wonderfully huge, and mysteriously easy to finish). My green smoothie was quite good, as was the coffee. Neither drink was the absolute best we'd ever had, but both were in the higher tiers.\n\nI'm a fan of local, organic, and vegetarian, and this place hits all those marks, even having a little \"market area\", which sells soaps and whatnot. I do hope the resources are available so they could be a little more \"local, organic, and vegetarian-friendly\", without sacrificing their appeal to those meat-eating customers or those who think local and organic is just a passing fad. It's great to have this option close-by, however!\n\nI totally dig their owner's community-investment advocacy and how he's surely brought awareness to many about eating locally (and, fairly healthy). While eating-in, we noticed that the woman at the register (I don't recall her name, but she was a little older) is super-good at her job - gracefully handled a busy, hungry, (&, slightly buzzed) crowd as well as being an important team-player in the kitchen / behind the counter. She worked with the effortlessness and effectiveness of a Fairy Godmother! The young woman at the grill stayed calm and focused as she banged out one tasty burrito after another. Her loyal helper dutifully followed her direction, in order to get the meals to the hungry masses. The smoothie / coffee guy was as chill as Shaggy after some Scooby Snax, and very personable as he whipped up some 98% correct and 98% delicious drink concoctions. That 2% actually added to his charm! His super-awesome personality along with the uplifting experience of watching the well-oiled team happily serve a seriously never-ending line of customers more than made up for any minor nits I could pick in accuracy or taste. (Which I'm generally pretty picky about!)\n\nThe restaurant is on the corner, next to the railroad tracks. There are several small tables and lots of light from the large windows. The kitchen area is open and not much larger than a food truck. Kinda reminds me of an old-school, south philly, corner luncheonette. Has a similar vibe, with a \"hipster\" update (in a good way). I kinda dig that they serve on paper plates, but I do hope they're recycled or sustainably-sourced. I'm super-happy they deliver (especially breakfast - however, with that amazing french toast burrito, that's also a bit dangerous...). And, I'm happy that their menu has some really solid options for vegetarians and omnivores alike, including some creative smoothies and coffee drinks. I'm looking forward to seeing how they evolve their menu and their impact on the community. I'm definitely glad this place exists and will surely be back soon!",
"Great local food! Best fish taco Fridays! Amazing chicken salad and everything else! It's a must go to",
"Can't say enough about this place! \n\nThis french toast burrito was one of the best things to ever happen to me. So creative and delicious! The staff was super friendly, location was nice, and all the food sounded so good! \n\nDefinitely would go back if I lived closer!"

"We go to Sizzler in Sparks at least once a month - its always great. \nAround $40.00 for 2 people. But a gut buster - you wont leave hungry.\nYou have got to go if for no other reason then to try the amazing cheesy toast they bring every table while you wait for your food! \n\nGo for the steak and all-you-can eat fried shrimp! Its great but my favorite is the amazing salad bar..... normally thats all I get because it has so much! \n\nIf you can think of a topping for a salad they have it out, and everything is always fresh and wonderful. They have mountains of fresh fruit also! Plus they have the tostada bar - tacos, taco salads - and DONT FORGET to grab a few of those wonderful fried chicken wings they totally ROCK! Also the pizza is pretty good. I think they also have soup but I havent tried that yet - no room!!!\nThen there is a desert/ice cream bar to top it all off!\n\nThe ONLY thing i have found that I dislike about this place is the drinking glasses are VERY small - which annoys me because I feel bad about constantly having to ask for a refill - I'm not sure if the little glasses are so the wait staff gets BIG tips - but it definatly works because once I make the poor server bring me 10 refills I feel almost obligated to leave a fat tip! I've been considering bring in my OWN big glass and save the poor person so many trips - but that would be kind of ghetto right? Hahaha\n\nGo to Sizzler its GREAT!!!",
"They recently remodelded a bit. Nothing too drastic, just a bit nicer. This was one of my favorite places to eat at one time, but service for me has gone down hill as well as some of the food. The salad bar still very good and you can get very full with just getting that. My favorite ordered item from the menu was the bacon wrapped sirlons. It used to come with the wrapped steaks, choice of rice, baked potaote or fries on a cool sizzling plate. No sizzly plate anymore, the meat and bacon taste awful. I was so dissapointed I stopped going there for awhile. But now have come back to enjoy the all you can eat salad bar. My bf get the all you can eat shrimp with his salad bar which is very tasty. They always have a good selection of fruit as well. \n\nService at one time was very good as well. You would never have to ask for a refill or bread refill they always were on their game. But now it seems like we are always stuck with the waiter/waitress that hates work and is never around. We end up having to flagg someone to get anything.\n\nMaybe one day I will try the bacon wraps again....maybe.",
"We went to Sizzler yesterday, and was chatting with the waiter who told us that the Sparks Sizzler is the very last Sizzler left in the whole state of Nevada! All the others have closed. :-( I hope this one wont! \n\nI have always loved this location, and since the remodeling is finished, its even better! The staff is so awesome here, right on top of everything, and the steaks get cooked perfectly. Maui chicken and steak is great, the shrimp is awesome too. I discovered yesterday by accident that I like my fried shrimp dipped in RANCH DRESSING .... who knew?!?!?! \nI've also had the lobster and steak both great. \nThe only thing I've not tried yet is their ribs - that's next on my list! \n(Steak and full rack of Ribs approx. $15.00) \n\nWe went there about 2:30 pm there was only a few other people, I was thinking since it was in between lunch and dinner services the salad bar might not be fresh, but they were replenishing it as we came in, and a lady was checking the temps on the hot/cold stations! This place really appears to be on top of their game. \n\nI am addicted to the cheesy toast, and chicken wings! \n\nDont forget to get some soft serve with Butterfinger or Oreo crumbles ... ummmbutterfingerummmmm",
"Sizzler is a lifesaver when you have kids. It is the restaurant I can consistently count on to be family friendly and reasonably healthy. Toddlers get a salad bar and a drink for free with an adult meal. They have plenty of high chairs and even a contraption that holds your infant carrier at table level so your baby can conveniently join the family meal. \n\nThis particular Sizzler is clean and the food temperature is constantly being monitored by the staff. The food on the main menu is mediocre but the salad bar is the main event here anyway. The manager always stops by to make sure we are enjoying ourselves. The staff is pretty good about refilling drinks and keeping the restaurant tidy. \n\nThe bathroom could be cleaner and needs to be renovated. It isn't glamorous but it is functional. It has a changing table and several stalls which again, makes this Sizzler family friendly.",
"Had lunch there recently. The food was good, but the place was filthy. Food on the floor around the salad bar, and finger prints all over the glass between the booths and the fake brass railings separating the booths. No one has cleaned in a long time. I realize it was lunch time but the staff just walked by the spilt food as if it wasn't there. Not one member of the staff took the time to sweep up the mess. My wife and I love the salad bar but I double will be back. Too dirty.",
"Aside from the numerous hot young waitresses there were ZERO redeeming features of my dinner at Sizzler the other night. In addition to the overpriced food in undersized portions (which I expected, after all it is Sizzler) it took the first thirty minutes to get our beverages (watered down lemonade) and another twenty minutes to get our food. The small steak was overcooked (I said MEDIUM, not CHARRED), and they were cold. The shrimp was cold and only cooked on one side, the other side was doughy white breading, I only ate ONE and didn't finish chewing it, forget about swallowing it. The tiny potato was too cold to melt the mountain of shredded cheese they piled over it and the chicken, at least I think it was supposed to be chicken, was cold and flavorless...and why did they melt a slice of ham into the psuedo-cheese substance that it was encased in? Despite having been there over an hour our drinks were only replenished ONCE, while it only took 5 minutes to drink them...the rest of the time our glasses sat empty at the edge of the table. HINT! HINT!\nIf the waitress is wondering where her tip went, it went to the same place as my SERVICE. I will not be back to this Sizzler, nor any other. Save your time, save your money, and enjoy your food....GO TO APPLEBEES!!!!",
"Ehhhhh.....I came here the other night while visiting family in Sparks. Overpriced for what you get....it was almost 70 dollars for 4 of us.....REALLY....at Sizzler?! The food was a bit bland and tasteless and small portions...for the price, I was expecting more. My brother ordered a steak and asked for it \"medium\" and it was literally so rare that it was pink inside. Eww!! He still ate it, but made a comment to the rest of us that it definitely was not medium. Service was just \"ok\"....The server who brought us our food and drinks was friendly but not over the top. It was a Saturday night around dinner time so he was pretty busy but he did come by twice to check on us and refill our drinks. Honestly, the salad bar was my favorite part of the whole dinner....everything else wasn't really worth it. If you're going to come here, come for the salad bar only. Save your money and get a way better steak or seafood dinner somewhere else!",
"My steak was cooked correctly ,staff was friendly and attentive. Love the salad bar. I will come back.",
"My wife and I have eaten here off and on over the years, but no more.\nA few months back we both got steaks that we could hardly chew, the waitress never checked back on us as we were leaving the Manager came and checked on us, we told him what our meal was like and we left.\nThe Manager chased us down in the parking lot and gave us some comps for our next visit.\n Our next visit which was a couple of days ago,\nmy wife's steak was not cooked the way she ordered it neither was mine but it was eatable.\n our waitress never checked on us we had to flagged another down to send the steak back. we paid for the all you can eat shrimp before we started eating we were asked if we wanted more shrimp we replied not yet. Last we saw of our server.\n I guess eating on comps there has it's dis advantages.\n bottom line screw up once you get a second chance twice we are done with you.\n For what they charge we expect top service, if we want so so food and service we can go to a casino pay less and expect less.",
"So this last week I was on vacation in Reno, and came here a scary amount of times. Right now due to health reasons I must be on a vegan gluten free diet. This makes it very hard for me to eat out, but there salad bar was a great option for me, and not to expensive! And they have great allergen information available on there website. We must have come here 7-8 times, and I was happy each, and everytime.\nMy dad was disappointed in the cheese toast it was toasted on one side, and floppt soggy on the other, somethings wrong with the way they toast there bread, because it sadly just never seemed to look right.\nAnd this sizzker is very well managed, always seemed to be a manager around to make sure you were satisfied with your visit.\nThe salad bar was for the most part always kept re-stocked well, some cross-contamination potential, but they were trying hard to keep it as clean as they could, I understand it's hard when it's so busy.\nThe fruit selection was very impressive for the salad bar, honey dew, oranges, mini apples, pineapple, watermelon, kiwi, and grapes. I don't remember other Sizzler's I've been too having that good of a selection on the fruit, but maybe they did, and I just am not remembering correctly. They also had some canned fruit, but that was to close to the pudding for me, cross-contamination potential there.\n\nWould have been a 5 star review if my dad would have been happy with the bread,\nHe got the malibu chicken, with a baked potato usually. A couple times he ended up with a burger, but that was disappointing, because again the bun was all weird toasted on one side, but soggy, and floppy on the other. He went with a different side of baked beans one day, and was very disappointed it was like 4 bites worth of beans. :/ And the bacon in the beans was fatty.\n\nWould definitely recommend the salad bar, and it seemed like my dad was happiest when he got the malibu chicken, with the baked potato.\nAlso price is cheaper for the salad bar before 4pm, so try to go during lunch time. But honestly it's a good deal anytime of day. Way better than the other expensive buffets in Reno."

"My friend Nicole M. invited me to their Grand Opening. This restaurant in the heart of Reno is an asian fusion of vietnamese & french inspiration. What a nice location with plenty of parking on a Thursday night for Happy Hour. Love the modern decor and comfortable seating. Met up with some gal pals for Happy Hour. We ordered wine, gin & tonic, and a special sake collin drink for me. \n\nOwner Liam treated us to a beautiful dish of pork belly lollipop. Debbie recognized Chef Justin from another restaurant. The mint lettuce wrap with eggs & shrimp was crunchy & soft at the same time - a new dish for me. The calamari is not your typically italian dry & crunchy version, it is rather sliced thinly with a delicious sauce ontop. We finished with the lobster noodle. The lobster had a wonderful grilled favor and there were plenty of noodles to share. \n\nCongrats to a new Reno restaurant in the heart of town. \nWe will be back to try other unique dishes & sample your desert menu.\n\nAnnie C.\nJune 6, 2017",
"My wife and I stopped by for appetizers,,. We were not disappointed. A huge order of fluffy fried calamari on a bed of wonton an lettuce. Located at the edge of Midtown, you won't be disappointed. Say hi to the owner Liem",
"Fun and creative menu with lots of technique and asian flavors. \n\nMy wife and I recently spent a month in Japan and love our ramen. We ordered the shoyu chicken ramen and the pork tonkatsu ramen and were happily surprised at the authenticity of each bowl! There are a couple other ramen places in Reno, and this was our favorite by far.\n\nSuper clean and good service, will be back for another food coma!",
"Opening night! I love the rich, dark decor of the interior. Gives a great French bistro feel to the place. Staff was fantastic, very attentive. \n\nWe had the calamari, which was surprisingly different than the norm. It was sweet and spicy! Pork lollipops were, well just redic! Great glaze and the portions were HUGE bites. Fried rice was very savory, we added pork belly to the fantastic Vietnamese sausage in it. \n\nThen the ramen... there are no words, but I will try! Pork belly cooked to perfection, crispy edges yet tender on the inside. Charred garlic, the ever perfect Sun noodles. Broth was rich and flavorful. Only drawback was the egg as it was over cooked, but that will be remedied soon enough I am sure. \n\nGoing back next week, cannot wait, like Christmas in June.",
"Let's keep this place going. First, excellent decor and ambience. The food was excellent. I had a pork belly crepe appetizer- great flavors and amazing vinegar dipping sauce. \nGirlfriend had the pork Ramen tonkatsu and was fantastic- very hot and flavorful\nI had the crab garlic noodles and it was bursting with great flavors. \nA must try and we will definitely make a go to spot!\nGreat restaurant",
"The return of (IMHO) 1 of the top chefs in the country is an absolute triumph! Justin's passion and innovative desire to stretch the limits are now housed in a vision-fueled Vietnamese Bistro aptly named CreAzian. The initial offerings, while currently not entirely exotic, contain subtle surprises which allude to more palette-expanding dishes on the horizon.\n\nThe interior appealingly screams of stripped down circa Moulin Rouge Paris bistro with accents of Southeast Asia. The walls are tastefully minimalist and your eyes are immediately drawn to the gorgeous, warmly-lit bar inviting you to sit down for a beer or 1 of their refreshing cocktails. The center floor tables feel like they're best suited for drinks and snacks while stepping up to the cushier elevated booths convey a more intimate, formal stage awaiting a show.\n\nAnd what a show. The pork belly lollipops are even better (and larger) than I remember them if that's possible. Meaty cubes of pork barely clinging to a glistening half of fat edged by an amazing char reminiscent of BBQ burnt ends. All of this richness is perfectly off-set with a sweet and savory maple glaze and chopped green onion. \n\nThis precedes eye-opening (in both presentation and flavor) calamari and a \"banh xeo\" which (for the initiated) is not quite what you'd expect. The calamari arrives adorned with scallions in a thin, ribbon-like crater of wonton. The batter is light and crispy, containing tender slivers of squid. Like the pork belly, the game-changer is the glaze. Both citrusy and spicy, this sauce elevates the dish to a level untouchable by any calamari I'd ever eaten (and I've certainly done my part in decimating the world squid population). I've only previously experienced banh xeo once before, and it was the conventional thin egg crepe with a crisp and oily texture. This iteration was more of an omelette/quiche hybrid, filled with savory pork and shrimp. Wrapping up portions of this in the accompanying fresh jicama and greens resulted in a layered explosion of complex flavors including a \"mintiness\" I was not prepared for. You know when you eat a touch too much wasabi and it fills your nasal cavity? Well, I had a similar but nowhere near as unpleasant experience with the tiny mint leaves which came with the dish. Justin said that they're 1 of the strongest mint varieties in the world and I didn't doubt him having tried it.\n\nWe finished an incredible (and surprisingly wallet-friendly) meal with the Creazian fried rice and tonkatsu ramen. The fried rice is definitely in the upper echelons of comfort food for most ppl who enjoy the occasional late-night Chinese take-out, and it would be perfect for soaking up lots of beer. The ramen is nearly the same as the legendary version offered by the chef at his previous restaurant. I'd go into describing it but I'd easily reach my character limit. Just get it.\n\nI can't wait to sample more items (including their papaya salad) from the menu. Word on the street is there will be a porchetta banh mi (vietnamese sandwich) as well as other never before tasted creazians (pun intended) from Justin's evil genius of a brain. I guess a follow-up review is in order.",
"Was eager to see a place thrive in this location and was pleased to be able to try it out for lunch yesterday. We went here to celebrate a new employee, with a group of about 11. Came here at just after peak lunch time and it wasn't crowded. Loved the dark French chic interior. The lunch menu had something to please everyone. We got several orders of spring rolls, an order of crunchy spring rolls and some veggie rolls to start. They came with a delectable peanut sauce. My meal of garlic shrimp noodles was sizable and perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also was able to try their eggplant tofu special and that was fantastic. I know what I will be getting next time.",
"Not bad! I wasn't blown away by Creazian in any aspects, but if you're looking for solid Asian fusion with a trendy and sleek vibe, this is a great choice.\n\nUpon entering the place, my friend and I were immediately breath-taken by the attractive decor of the place. The vibe is suitable for any occasion, and blends sophistication with exotic tones.\n\nFor an appetizer, we ordered the VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS, and they were extremely delicious. The rice noodles were stuffed to the brim with fresh veggies, and a piece of flavorful fried tofu.\n\nFor her main, my friend ordered the VEGETABLE PHO. This was a solid bowl of pho, but it wasn't mind-blowing by any means. The broth was flavorful and it had a large portion of fresh veggies and noodles, but the whole dish was rather forgettable for some reason. Still, it'll definitely satisfy one's pho cravings.\n\nFor my entree, I had the LOTUS salad, and it was fantastic. A pile of cabbage and lotus root was tossed with a generous amount of the most flavorful and refreshing garlic-lime vinaigrette. I decided to add a portion of seared ahi to the salad, which was impressively tasty. It wasn't your average seared ahi slices, but rather little cubes of heavily seasoned but delicious tuna.\n\nWe were sorry to hear that they weren't offering any dessert, which we were both craving. Hopefully they'll have some next time.\n\nThis is a great new addition to the Reno culinary scene, and I look forward to watching it grow!",
"This place is AMAZING! Exactly what Reno needs broadening the palate. I went with a group of 8 people and all of us were enjoying every bite of our meal! Chef Justin is great, we must have ordered what seemed like everything from the menu and my fiance and I are already making plans to come back.",
"Really good food, I think they have the best ramen in Reno. Very nice staff, including Paul who was our server. Had the pork belly crepe, the sandwich and the outstanding shoyu ramen. Kids loved it too, highly recommended. They have a great room that can accommodate business lunch/dinner meetings."

"Located inside the new Parx casino, the parx grill is their fine dining restaurant, other than this for now it is a choice of Foodies, which is a 24 hour food court and soon Chickie's & Pete's Sports Bar & Crab House will be joining them to form the complete trio.\n\nThe decor is ultra chic and one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been in. The walls on the outside of the restaurant are floor to ceiling open glass shelves holding the most beautiful and colorful pieces ranging from vases to blown glass. The entrance to the curvy black lacquered hostess stand is surrounded by a red lacquered archway. Beyond this on the far wall is a huge flaming faux fireplace with a stone wall facade. You would have to see it to believe how gorgeous it is.\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAdvbU6jmM4 The walls have grey/silver beads hanging at different lengths to form swags, the ceiling lights look like huge carved blocks of ice with beautifully lit egg shaped lights hanging from each block. What is really cool is the ice block lights change colors, although the clear was on while we were there and it is the most beautiful. They were so realistic I kept waiting for them to start dripping.\n\nAlmost anywhere you sit in this restaurant you are going to have privacy, the booths are large, very comfortable, with high backs and more ice looking glass dividers line the top of the rows. The bar is small, but they want you to have a seat in the restaurant and dine, there are plenty of other bars inside the casino to sit and drink. \n\nSome of the casinos chandeliers cost one million a piece, the rectangular bar of lights that over hangi this bar was like a multitude of diamonds shimmering beyond the glass walls. Five stars to whomever designed this restaurant. \n\nJoseph was our server and it was only his second day or so, but the very friendly staff all work as a team and they leave you wanting for nothing. They caught me taking notes ( damn ) and suddenly everyone was sliding by our table one by one to give us more information than we needed, well maybe not... More on this when I review the Parx Casino, because we need to talk about the food.\n\nAfter you order your drinks a basket of bread will arrive with crisp flatbread, a good baked white bread and a brown bread with raisins and nuts. Along side of this a ramekin of whipped butter and another of a basil pesto will accompany this and possibly because we were starving, but it was the highlight of the meal. I also like the fact they have a sea salt and cracked black peppercorn grinder on each table. \n\nOther than the flat thick white plates that arrived in various shapes throughout the meal, there was no wow factor with the food. Hubby started with the clams casino $9.and rated them as average, the clams were chopped which we both do prefer and tender enough with onions and peppers, just not much seasoning to them, I had one, they were bland and we both agreed we have had much better.\n\nI started with the lobster bisque which was okay. There were a few tiny bits of lobster in it and when I say tiny I do mean microscopic but I have had bisque before where they have removed all the meat and it was still wonderful, this was very thick and dark, not much essence of the sherry shining through and it almost tasted old, like they had made a batch for the week and kept reheating it nightly. $6.\n\nMy chop salad was of Napa cabbage, nuts, finely diced carrot, bleu cheese crumbles, cherry tomato halves and okra? thinly sliced, it claimed that it would be topped with bacon and I could not find any, it was tossed with a sherry dijon vinaigrette and it was okay. $7.\n\nHubby had a skimpy 12 ounce sirloin that was aged and hand cut, well it may have been those things, he said it was cooked to a perfect rare, but it was a bit tough and had little flavor, he said the steaks at Acme are just as good. $28. I had the 8 ounce center cut filet mignon which was better than Acme's, however it came no where close in comparison to the steaks I have had at other good steak houses. It was cooked perfectly and upon request I did receive a rather bland bearnaise sauce. $27.\n\nWe had three sides Ala carte, all carbs baby! A small baked potato, a rectangle of potatoes au gratin which tasted like the dehydrated ones you get out of a cardboard box and doctored them up but could still taste the cardboard and mac and cheese using a orecchiette pasta and some cheese? and bacon, each $5., save the money for your trip to a great steak house.\n\nFinally they have two chefs, one specializes in the pastries, we had the liquid chocolate cake with a blackberry sabayon, Not! It was not quite dry, but it was not moist, very small, no liquid whatsoever and if this is what you call a sabayon then I think you need a few more classes. \n\nThey are open seven nights for dinner and lunch on Saturdays only and they do have a Sunday brunch.\n\nI'm sorry but it was just okay. 2.5 stars. $111. plus 20% tip.",
"The food was great .The place is in the Parx Casino and they are getting the staff together, but it looks like the place will be more fun once they have more entertainment come in to do shows. The decor in there is fabulous. They had a beautiful wall design and a fireplace thing that looked like you were in the lex Luther's dinning room from superman the food was perfect reasonably priced and cooked to perfection I had braised beef the meat was delicious so tender and juicy and my friend had the salmon everything was perfect and the price was so inexpensive I will defintley check it out again soon to see how things are after they have been open for a little while longer.",
"Didn't get seated right away because the host wasn't around for a few minutes, but it was the perfect opportunity to check out the decor, which is pretty cool. Not tacky, just visually interesting. \n\nThe food was pretty good here. Tuna tartar was tasty, they make it here with avocado. I also got the sea bass, and wow it was really good. Tender, juicy and warm. MMM. For dessert they had a pretty big menu; I had the pear sorbet which was also really good. Overall, the food was delicious. The story with the drinks was a little different. I asked for a pretty standard drink, and when the waitress came back she asked me if it's what I wanted because the bartender had to look it up on her phone. Hearing that was a disappointment, and I think I would have been better off not knowing that. Whatever though, the drink was fine, the food was great, the interior really cool.",
"Went here for dinner this past Saturday during a visit to Parx Casino. Tip #1: MAKE A RESERVATION! We actually tried to get into Chickie's and Pete's first-- their wait was over two hours long. The sans-reservation wait at Parx Grill was only an hour and fifteen minutes at 7:30pm on a Saturday. So we put our names in for 8:45pm. Luckily, as I said, the restaurant's IN a casino, so we weren't really at a loss for how to kill that hour and fifteen.\n\nWhen we returned, despite them expecting us and despite there being three hostesses at the stand chatting with each other, our table was not set up. One of them had to go over to the table and put out place settings before another seated us several minutes later. It wasn't a long wait, but based on the circumstances I thought it was certainly an avoidable inconvenience.\n\nSo, we're seated, brought water and bread (really delicious bread, as another reviewer noted), and our drink orders are taken. Overall, the decor is very nice, but the restaurant isn't actually closed off from the casino at all, so the noise and smoke still wafts in. They might want to consider creating an actual open-and-close doorway for the restaurant in the future. \n\nOur waiter returns with our drinks, and we place our orders. Fairly quickly, our salads arrive. I had the caesar, and my two dining companions both had the wedge. All were satisfactory-- nothing special, really.\n\nFor our main courses, I had the halibut, and my dining companions had the lobster tail and the steak (I don't recall which cut). Again, satisfactory, but we'd all had better for comparable (or, actually, lower prices). Sides were a la carte, but weren't as large as a la carte sides I've had at other fine dining establishments-- definitely big enough for two, but I'd say some weren't big enough for three or more (specifically the asparagus and the baked potato).\n\nGeneral consensus: I'd compare Parx Grill to a little girl playing dress-up in her mother's gown and heels. They'd really love to be this fancy, classy place, and they've got the look down alright, but the nuts and bolts of it all, the food and service, is just not up to par with what fine dining should be. I will say that it has potential. Hopefully they'll continue to work out the kinks...",
"I must say that they have taken it up a notch or two, both with their menu selections and the quality of the food!\n\nI started with a very delicious dirty martini, is there anything else? The escargot, burgundy style were cooked to perfection with shallots, garlic, butter, herbs and finished off with a good red wine, so yummy and I lapped up every drop of the sauce with the grilled crustini!\n\nThe mushroom bisque was to die for, I haven't had such a wonderful mushroom bisque since dining at the Terrace Restaurant at Longwood Gardens! In fact, I will go so far as to say this was quite memorable and probably the best I will ever have. How they were able to chop those mushrooms into the size of a speck, I will never know. The bisque was so very flavorful and topped with crème fraiche, truffles and white truffle oil. Remarkable indeed!\n\nListen to this! 14 ounces of broiled rare Australian lamb chops, that melted in my mouth with each bite. They were served as two triple cut chops and I was humming while I was gathering each tender morsel of these flavorful chops. The chops were huge, so meaty and not one bit of fat, so much better than the fingernail sized Colorado lamb chops, so much better that I did not even offer hubby a bite.\n\nSpeaking of hubby, he did share in some of my escargot and mushroom bisque, surprisingly, as he will normally eat neither and really did enjoy both.\n\nMichael then had the wedge and I really appreciated how they served it, all was on one long rectangular plate, with the wedge in the center, red onions in one corner, diced ripe tomatoes in another, sliced boiled eggs, and a side of bleu cheese dressing, heavily loaded with bleu cheese crumbles. \n\nHe also had an 18 ounce porterhouse, which he ordered rare and devoured it, saying that it was not the best he has ever had, but he enjoyed it.\n\nWith our entrees you have a choice of baked potato, truffled mashed, stuffed baked potato, sea salted shoestring potatoes or sticky rice. I chose the frites and hubby had the loaded baked potato, both were very good. They also have plenty of premium sides that you can order.\n\nThe atmosphere is relaxing, beautiful decor, the servers all work together and this time I left quite impressed. The prices were surprising low compared to other upscale steak houses. Once again, we had Joseph as our server, he's not as shy as he was in the beginning.",
"Been here 3 times and never had a bad meal. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the seating very comfortable with large private booths. It is a sculpted setting for dinner as an event rather than a rushed gorging, a place to relax and truly enjoy fine cuisine. The service is swift and friendly, the servers and hostesses highly professional and graceful. The menu selection is broad and offers so many good choices, it is hard to decide. Prices are a bit high but standard for fine dining, The menu was tweaked every time we went, however on the last visit, I found the portions were scaled down a bit. Drinks and wine service are lovely. We always got little \"bites\"as an additional appetizer gratis from the chef. The Prime Rib, at least the one time I had it was wonderful; the lamb is out of this world. The seafood is prepared perfectly and the a la carte vegetables allow large portions to share. All around the food is very creative and well presented and it is the elegant place to dine at the Parx casino, which is usually filled with trashy people overall.",
"Delicious! Food was amazing. Got a Groupon for $50 off our bill which wad great but even without it the bill was't bad--$96 for 3 people before the Groupon.",
"Located in Parx Casino, the service was beautiful just like the decor around the restaurant. I ordered the New York steak , it was marinated and cooked so nicely that the knife was cutting the steak like butter. It was the first time I finished the steak. The mash potato was like something bought from Walmart it tasted so sad. The gravy was very bland no taste. There fries looked like hay and evn tasted like hay. And oh yeah it took twenty minutes for the food to get ready. Overall the staff was friendly and the steaks were nice",
"The restaurant has a nice space separate from the casino. You don't have that smoky smell and the atmosphere is that of a nice restaurant. Another thing I like was they have appetizers of the day, one pasta, one otherwise. The one otherwise surrounds the reason for my lower score. When the servers gave the specials, (we had two servers which was confusing b/c they kept asking the same questions) I was told of a lovely sounding lamb lollipop/crab cake app. A minute later we were told they had sold out of it. So, we ordered other things. The prime rib and flat iron steaks were very good; I highly recommend the fresh-cut shoestring fries too. What bothered me was 15 minutes after we were told the appetizer was sold out, people around us started getting it. After I had to ask what was up, server #1 told me the chef decided to \"make some more.\" This is where I have serious issues with the service. They were not \"sold out:, the chef just didn't have some at that second. When their server found out how disappointed I was, she could have asked the chef and found out there was more to be made. If they want to hold themselves out as a high-end restaurant, these are the things they should be doing. Lastly, my wife and I skipped dessert; not a great selection. The food was very good, but you expect top notch service at a fine dining restaurant with high prices, and we just didn't get it.",
"Food: 3.5\nDecor: 4\nAmbiance: 3.5\nService: 3.5\nValue: 2.5\n\nBased on the decor, I wanted to like this place. It was just too expensive, with mediocre food, and the booth tables has way too much space in them."

"My sisters and I ate here this afternoon.\n\nFirst, let's call a spade a spade: this is the first Yelp review for Coco's??? I'm dumbfounded; this place is A-mazing; therefore, it should have a plethora of reviews. Well, at least I get to pop their Yelp cherry. Don't worry, Coco's; I'll still respect you in the morning!\n\nJeff (the owner?) waited on us. After today, I'm pretty sure the name \"Jeff\" is Latin, Greek, AND Sanskrit for \"effin delightful,\" ladies and gents! Just fifty shades of delightful, that Jeff is -- the consummate, albeit gregarious gentleman. And while I was a little sad about the dainty sides of guacamole, that's where my Hurt Feelings' Report ends. Of course the guacamole tasted good, so that softened the blow considerably as well. Don't judge. I'm a growing girl.\n\nThe food was very good, freshly prepared, and...very good. I got the wet burrito, and I enjoyed every second of putting that big burrito in my mouth. You get to pick from a large selection of meats with which to impregnate the burrito. I recommend the carnitas! The pork was juicy and plentiful, and the burrito was so massive, I could only terminate half of it. My sisters ordered the elotes, quesadillas, and rellenos -- all good, by the way!!! When my eldest sister elected to forego meat in her quesadilla, Jeff quickly recommended extra cheese without any prompting whatsoever.\n\nNow let's talk about Jeff: every restaurant should have a Jeff. He was so attentive, personable, and easygoing -- it was a pure joy to be under his care! With Jeff at the helm, we wanted for nothing.\n\nAs if Jeff couldn't have been any more awesome in his delivery, he then goes and forces us to try the churros. These horrible little deep fried things were pumped full of vanilla custard and coated in cinnamon sugar -- all things that I claim to hate in polite company. Oh, and let's not forget the house made caramel sauce on the side. These chirros were so awful that, noble soul that I am, I took one for the team and offered to devour every last bite so that my sisters wouldn't have to put those greasy lil caramel-coated sugar bombs in their mouths. It turns out that these ladies had the same idea, because they offered to confiscate my share as well. We are a family of noble creatures if we are anything at all.\n\nI cannot wait to go back and try some more of Coco's wares. Seriously, this place is good. Try it out. I might still be there with my hand in a basket of churros.",
"Amazing food, great service and atmosphere. Defiantly will be back again.\nWe had the tacos , quesadilla and guacamole and chips and they were all prepared well and full of flavor.",
"Stopped in for a few tacos with my friend and was really hoping for something special as the owners did a nice job creating a fun interesting atmosphere, but was not the case. No flavors I look for in Mexican food such as cilantro or lime to be found and just tasted like something you would get at someones house that was trying to make mexican tacos. Even the salsa was not good as it tasted like tomato paste and I have eaten mexican all over Philly/NJ and never saw it served this way so that kinda pushed us over the edge. Chips were very good at least. \nWaiter seemed like he was not real interested, which I don't mind if the food is insanely great, but when just starting out I expect more. Again, very nice place and for those that just want american style mexican food I am sure they will like. Either way nice addition to Main Street and wish them well.",
"As someone from Southern California ( A hr from Mexico) I've found it really hard to find a good local Mexican restaurant on the East Coast. With that being said, I really enjoyed Coco's Cocina in Pitman!\n-I went out of my comfort zone and replaced my usual meat in burritos with the \"fried avocado\" DELISH! I crave it almost everyday now ! \n$- The pricing is not bad at all, I meet with a group of women from church every week and we find it difficult to find a tasty place to eat within everyones budget and Coco's definitely was !\nWill be recommending for sure and returning often !",
"Small cute place. Byob I believe. I got the three tacos(pork carnitas) very good! Delicious queso in the appetizer.",
"I love a good Mexican joint, & this place delivered! Not only was the food great, but Jeff was awesome and attentive. He convinced us to try the churros, & so glad he did. Hearing the words \"caramel sauce\" was my kinda food porn! We even took an order to go (because why not). Will so be going back again!",
"My friend and I stopped there today to check it out we were shopping at craft show very hungry so we went in was very busy but found a table waitress gave us menus not a lot on it but what they had was a good selection we both ordered 3 tacos with chicken came with two sides also ordered a guacamole and chips to start everything was very very good my only disappointment was I couldn't get a glass of sangria only pitcher it is a byo so I'll know next time but all in all it was great",
"Some things were wow.\nLets start with the great.\n\nElote appetizer: Wow. roasted corn on the cobb with cheese and mayo. I cut off all the corn then add more hot sauce. Really great.\n\nGuac: Very good as well. \n\nKids Chicken tender: wow! really good. definitely not some frozen premade stuff. Minus points for no BBQ sauce of something that kids could dip the tenders into. Portion was huge, almost too big. \n\nTacos. Ok. I ordered corn soft tacos. no double tortillas? Also the flavor profile of the short rib was good. Meat was tender, but not a lot of flavor. \n\nSome weird stuff. The upcharge. \n\nOrdered a kids quesadilla. We added chicken. Not informed of price $2.00 more for the chicken , which is not a lot of chicken \n\nSo, would I go back? Yes. but I would just order different things. \n\nAlso cash only. Not an issue for me. but could be for others. \n\nIn any case. a good addition. but if you want 100% authentic mexican. Go for camden , s philly. \n\nIf you need a couple things to hit the spot... this place is good.",
"Coco's Cocina is right across the street from the Broadway Theatre of Pitman and next to Sweet Lula's, a nice, traditional Italian restaurant owned by the same couple. But you really don't need these directions. You'll easily find Coco's while driving down the street. You can't miss the glamorous, flashy, bright red signage. It's right in the heart of town.\n\nWalk in to find a BYO, seat-yourself establishment and offers a seriously affordable menu. Chips and salsa, or guac, or queso, run about $4. All entrees (regular or wet burritos, tacos any style, quesadillas, etc., with preferred protein/veg) are $9 and come with rice and your choice of pinto or refried beans. Keep in mind it IS \"Tex-Mex\" in that nothing is overly spicy; therefore, it is a good eatery for folks who don't mix it up much with their diets or want a \"tame\" meal. You can add hot sauce, however.\n\nThe vibe inside is very relaxed with a good number of tables and a food truck mural with a window that peeks into the kitchen. A jingle rings each time food is sitting and ready to be served. Mexican sodas, regular fountain pours, and virgin margaritas are available as drink options.\n\nSo originally here (before writing all that basic info), I included the long story of the visit with my mom from earlier this week. But it bored me so I deleted it. Basically the experience culminated with owner/chef/puppeteer/entertainer Anthony Asbury sitting at our table coaxing her to eat churros for the first time. It was hilarious but probably one of those \"you had to be there\" moments. But I will say that both owners are super friendly/funny/accommodating, and those qualities clearly align with their effective business operations.\n\nMy mom and I split the chips and queso app to start. Both the chips and the dip were delicious. No kick. If you want queso with a kick, go down the street to the other Mexican spot in town.\n\nFor my meal, I had the chicken tinga quesadilla. Again, no kick, nothing fancy, but just good, gooey toasted tortilla with chicken. The addition of sour cream with lettuce on the side was nice. I also really enjoyed my rice and would probably ask to get two sides of it instead of the beans in the future.\n\nMy mom had the pork carnitas tacos. The entree comes with three, and you get your choice of shell. She went with crispy, and liked them. As mentioned, she also had the churros (with Jack Daniel's bourbon butterscotch sauce) and ate them all rather quickly despite complaints of them being \"too hot.\" I had a bite and would definitely save more room for them in the future.\n\nI really enjoyed my first visit to this new spot in Pitman. It's good for any occasion and will likely hold a spot in my take-out rotation.",
"Dropped off my fiancé for an event nearby, went here for lunch on a Sunday. It was super empty, which made me nervous, but after ordering, I think is ridiculous. I've gotten plenty of tacos around NYC and these were really good - I went with the pork, chicken, and short rib. 3 tacos for 9 bucks with a small scoop of beans. Again, really good quality. It's byob, except for wine and sangria, which they have. Plus, great service! Highly recommend, would come back if in the area."

"Typical Chinese fast food. Not too pricey, and the dumplings and stir fry are good. Wonton soup is sometimes ok, sometimes way too salty.\n\nThey have tables and chairs, but nobody actually uses them except to wait for their take-out. Most of the time I go for delivery, which is good and generally arrives on time.",
"I only order from here when i forget how bad they are. the wontons are way to doughy and salty. everyonce in awhile i try and give them another chance...then i remember why i get things delivered instead of walking half a block to pick it up",
"This take out Chinese restaurant is same with all the other Chinese take out restaurants. I always order the Seafood Soup and Two Shrimp Egg Rolls. I didn't like their dumpings cuz the skin is too thick and not my style. I haven't tried their General Tso's or Sesame but I am sure that those dishes must be good cuz those dishes are the staple of American Chinese take out restaurants. Cheap prices. Why not? Oh yeah, they don't accept card. Wack.",
"This is my favorite Chinese takeout during my time at school...I still try to drive by once in a while... but its a lil scary at that corner.. I love their selection of mock-items, as in vegetarian choices...the Mock General Tso's Chicken is sooo delicious... I've tried ordering this at other places but they can't seem to get it right... an order of Mock General Tso' Chicken is pretty large and can be shared with 3-4 others...yummy!!",
"You're cheap, you're a block away, you satisfy my chinese fix. You have coupons, and sweet tea. You have to staple your wonton container shut because it's so packed. I watch you prepare meals upon order. I love your dumprings.\n\nBUT WHERE ARE YOUR FORTUNE COOKIES.",
"I DON'T CARE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE FORTUNE COOKIES, I LOVE YOU THE MOST.\n\nSuper cheap, delivery, and I always have equal-sized leftovers for the next day if I just get a pint of soup and the dumplings. If you crave spice, they can give you spicy- we recommend the spicy garlic wontons, extra spicy, for the daring.\n\nImma try your vegetarian real soon, Spring.",
"I've only ordered from here twice thus far, and went to pick it up. The first time, I ordered the sesame vegetarian \"chicken;\" the second, the General Tso's \"chicken.\" I always love finding places where they have mock meats instead of just tofu. I really enjoyed both dishes, and they steam their broccoli to a good consistency. All in all, it's not exceptional food, but the fact that they have a mock meat selection sold me.",
"I rarely order delivery, but when I do it's always Spring. Their portions are extremely generous, and their garlic sauce rocks. I recommend the spare ribs, roast pork, diet chicken and broccoli, and tofu and veggie soup. The only thing I've ordered and haven't liked is the hot and sour soup- it's neither hot nor sour.",
"Meh. The best way to describe this place. Not amazing, not terrible. Just meh.\n\nThe food is your typical greasy and cholesterol/heart-attack inducing Chinese food available around the corner of the block. That isn't to say it is bad - it's just the Americanized (and nothing compared to the real stuff) Chinese food.\n\nThe vegetarian options are plenty, although vegetarians should be wary of anything fried - the fryers are the same whether they are frying chicken, pork, beef, or your vegetables.\n\nThe upside is that the food is quite cheap, and for a location close to several college campuses, I'm sure they're doing quite well. \n\nJust watch your back when you're in the area; streets in the high 30's through low 40's in the Lancaster/Powelton Area can get a bit seedy in the evenings and night.",
"Mehhh...not horrible...but not good either.\n\nWe live near here, less than 5 blocks away. But, we rarely go. The food just isn't compelling enough to beckon you to come back. I'd much rather drive the 10 minutes to go to Danny's Wok, or go to Shangri-La. But, I didn't want to pay cash, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on dinner, and I really was too tired to go anywhere else, so Spring is where I went.\n\nDon't get your hopes up. They'll never be a place that lives up to your expectations. But, if your lazy, really don't want to put out any effort...this place will give you a modicum of sustenance."

"Not quite as delicious as the taco truck across the street, but decent street food with yummy salsas. They also have seating both indoors and outside, and a waitress! If you want to order sonic style she will even come to your car. We had carne asada mulitas (like a mini quesadilla or a taco with another tortilla on top) and the bean and cheese and mixta pupusas. Both were good. No tortilla chips but the waitress offered churros instead, which I only know about as sugar and cinnamon covered sweets, but these were light chip-like things that were freshly made and delish. Definitely hit the spot. We paid cash, not sure if they take cards here.",

We paid cash, not sure if they take cards here.",
"Hit the spot for my Mexican craving, any menu where meet options include tongue and guts gets me interested 1st time trying Pupusa and will be having again Tongue Torta also great not a spot to come for decor or environment just some great food",
"Coming from SoCal, we have been looking for an authentic taco experience. We stumbled upon this hidden gem recently and it did not disappoint. Great, flavorful carne asada, tasty salsas and real horchata! Even the tortillas are made fresh! Stop by!",
"Resperados...a very big snow cone in a large glass. It's a great drink to go with their fantastically, simple & delicious food. Steak mulitas & tacos w/ a side of beans! We'll keep coming back.",
"3.5\n\nI don't know what to make of this place. My husband and I were seriously craving some Mexican after a work out. This place popped up as a nearby restaurant so we decided to order takeout from here. The restaurant is truly a hole in the wall type of place. It's not very lit up so it can be easy to pass by it without seeing it. The taqueria's decor is very haphazardly thrown together and it's complete with a TV playing a Spanish channel to provide minimal entertainment. The floor was sticky, which was a little weird but it's not like the movie theater.\n\nWhen we entered, there were no customers and the waitress was hanging out, eating her dinner, I assume. She jumped up as soon as we came in, ready to take our order. There were no fish available today and the fryer was broken (and we're semi-vegetarians) so our options were really limited. Instead of going to another place (we were really hungry), we ended up just ordering our dishes with beans and cheeses to replace the protein. We ordered a burrito, a pupusa, a torta, and one other one I can't remember but the name starts with an \"M\". The order came out fairly quickly.\n\nThe food was good. However, it wasn't the best vegetarian Mexican we've had. Almost everything on their menu had some form of meat on it so it wasn't a very vegetarian-friendly place to go to. The pupusa and the M-dish was very plain. The torta was just falling apart and essentially flavorless unless I added more beans and the hot chili sauce they provided. The cheese quesadillas just tasted like melted cheese but not necessarily a bad thing. The burrito, however, was good. It was filled with rice, beans, veggies, and cheese so it was hearty enough. My only caveat was that the burrito wasn't warm - it was room temperature - which made the tortilla stick to the roof of my mouth. Gah.\n\nThe price was reasonable. The whole takeout order came out to be about $29 bucks, not bad for two people who ordered way too much food. Would I come back? Maybe once their fryer gets fixed and fish is available. Tune in for updates.",
"WOW, how does this place have 5 stars?? The taco shells are chewy and not fresh at all, I could barely bite through them. The meat seems as if the chef chewed it up and spit it onto the tortilla. The carne was so fatty and tasteless, I could barely swallow the bite that I took. The plates are garnished with radishes and cucumbers??? Is that a traditional Mexican thing, because I've never seen that before in my life?? It made everything taste like sweaty, unfresh cucumber. My boyfriends quesadillas were so tasteless, the outside is supposed to be a bit crispy and chewy but it was just limp and soggy and tasteless. Barely any filling, and the filling just tasted like cucumber and fatty tasteless carne. I've never been disappointed with Mexican food, but this made me wish I had just stopped at Taco Bell. Horrible, would never recommend.",
"Fresh and delicious food with great prices!\nIf you're looking for hip decor in a trendy neighborhood, then this isn't for you. If you're looking for great authentic Mexican and Central American street food, this is your lucky day!\nI had the chicken tinga tacos and pupusa. Both were freshly prepared (the kitchen is a food truck parked outside) and delicious.\nIf you're looking for your typical \"Mexican\" dishes that you're used to in America, you won't find them here unless you want Tacos and Burritos. But if you've ever been to Mexico, you would already know that Chimichangas and cheese dip isn't authentic Mexican cuisine. \nGive it a shot when you don't want to look for parking for an hour at Local Taco. You'll be happy you did!\nUPDATE: Get the chorizo/sausage. Get it on everything. Just do it. The Chicken Tinga is good, but the chorizo they have here is better.",
"FINALLY A REAL MEXICAN RESTAURANT! The saying \"don't judge a book by its cover\" is perfect for this place. I'm being serious when I say that everything I ate was delicious. I'm from California and all I eat is yummy homemade Mexican food, reminded me of home. I'll be back! Don't judge the appearance of the place, eat the food first. They had a high rating on cleanness, very welcoming and the staff had a lot of heart. I had tacos, POPUSAS you have to try them! All the different flavors are great. Different yummy drinks and a raspado.",
"Authentic Mexican! Decor wasn't your typical cinco de mayo type deal but I think it adds to the charm of it being owned by the couple there. It isn't a chain place and that's what makes it awesome. If you want American Mexican then go to cinco de mayo. The couple there were friendly and made sure that we felt at home. I will be going back frequently!"

"Great food! Reasonable prices!\nI went there and got my food to go. I had 2lbs of shrimp, clam chowder, grouper tacos and coleslaw. \nThe shrimp is as good as The Freezer in Homassassa, the chowder blows away Crabby Bills, even the coleslaw was good. The grouper tacos had a generous piece of grouper, 3 in an order.\nI fed my family great seafood for the price of a couple of pizzas.",
"Tried to order at counter, but no one there to take orders so we left. It looked like they were greatly understaffed. Can't,therefore comment on food.",
"Newly opened. Small menu that is reasonably priced. 1 pound of peel n eat shrimp for $10.50. Seasoned really well and steamed perfectly. They have 3 domestic beers on draft and 3 craft. Also, 3 different wines on tap. The owner was the one cooking in the kitchen. Seemed really nice with a passion for the restaurant business. I'm just visiting, but will be sure to visit when back in town.",
"Best shrimp on the beach! Steamed to order, deveined (which very few others do), and served with melted butter as well as your basic cocktail sauce. Plump, juicy, and briny sweet. Well worth waiting a few extra minutes for. Also had the grouper tacos - two nice, big, portions of grouper prepared simply so you can actually taste the fish. Fresh, crunchy coleslaw in a light dressing. The atmosphere is very casual, but cheerful; you order at the bar, pick your food up, and clear your own table. But that keeps prices down, and you don't have to worry about dressing for dinner! The owner is friendly, and has smartly chosen to start off with a small menu and do things right. Great addition to the local scene.",
"Wonderfull couple own and work this modest but upbeat seafood establishment on Indian Rocks Beach tucked away in a small business plaza. We had the grouper tacos which you can get either on flour or corn tacos (but request on corn). So fresh !! We plan to go back during our stay here because we hear good things about the shrimp and I want to try the mussels.\nThe prices are low (should not say that :) Perfect for casual local eatery. Beer and wine on tap.",
"The food wad just ok. We waited 30 minutes and the only ither diners alreadu had their food. I dont plan to go back.",
"Went with husband, daughter,her daughter and her friend. They couldn't have been nicer, or more friendly. The meals were GREAT! The steamed shrimp out of this world. It is a must visit.",
"This is a little hole in the wall. Thought it would be the best kept secret. I was not impressed at all. They didnt say they heavy season the grouper and shrimp. I didn't care for it. I like to taste my food - not just the seasoning. Not for me. the beer was good n cold. That's about it.",
"Had a very nice dinner in this charming place! Staff was great!!! Great place to grab a\nbite to eat then walk across the street to watch the sunset on the beach!!",
"Just ate here for the first time tonight. Shared a pound of peel and eat shrimp and 2 grouper tacos with my boyfriend. Nothing to complain about here! The shrimp was seasoned perfectly, not too much, not too little. The grouper tacos were the best I've had. Not fishy at all and had really good flavor. You get a good portion of grouper in it as well! The price for our meal wasn't bad at all. Had 6 beers between us as well and all together our meal was under 40! The staff is very friendly also :) definitely will be back to try their other items!!"

"This neighborhood restaurant is a gem. The ambiance is very pleasant . . . polished wood floors and whitewashed stucco walls adorned with brightly colored paintings . . . and the food is outstanding.\n\nMy companion and I ordered a bottle of Chianti and shared an antipasto which turned out to be large enough for four, with generous slices of several cheeses, prosciutto, salami, artichokes, pimento and seedless olives. We couldn't finish it, but it was difficult to stop, and we left very little.\n\nMy Eggplant Parmigiano was incredible. While it's difficult for me to recall all the times I've ordered this dish in hundreds of restaurants throughout the U.S. and Italy, I believe that Maria's offering was the best I've ever encountered. My companion ordered one of the fish specials, a Bronzino, sautéed to perfection. Both entrees came with pasta and small salads of crisp lettuce, perfectly sauced with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.\n\nThe servers were competent, efficient and extremely personable. When I told our waitress that we enjoy lingering over our appetizer and wine, she allowed us plenty of time. She also inquired if we would like some time before our entrees, and accommodated us beautifully.\n\nAfter the large antipasto I intended to eat only half of my entree, and, in fact, I cut it in half so that I could take home a neat portion. Unfortunately, my self-discipline failed me, and, I found my self repeatedly taking \"just one more little slice.\" As I consumed the last delectable morsel, I had to quote the Alka Seltzer Lady's line . . . \"I can't believe I ate the whole thing!\"\n\nNeither of us had room for dessert, but when our waitress presented the tray, just in case, and we spied a luscious looking Strawberry Tiramisu, we thought we would just order one to split and take home. It was superb, and we dispatched it in short order,\n\nThis was an exceptionally pleasant experience, and, naturally, Maria's now occupies a place at the top of my favorites list.\n\nThe restaurant has a private parking lot, and there is also more than ample parking on the street.",
"I went the other night with my wife and cousin. We were a little early for our reservation so we sat at the bar and had a drink. The bartender started some small talk and she was very nice. Once we sat for dinner the service was prompt, the food was good and I enjoyed myself. \n\ngreat review i know but i'm not really in the mood to type right now.",
"My husband and I tried Maria's last Saturday and loved it. I had the crab stuffed ravioli and a glass of red wine. My husband had the rack of lamb. My meal was absolutely delicious. For dessert, I had the tiramisu and a cappuccino. We ate everything and felt satisfied but not weighed down (this is my little test for real, good food vs. over-processed chain restaurant food). We loved it and I highly recommend it. The staff was friendly and happy. We will go there again.",
"My fiance and I received a gift card to Maria's for Christmas and finally got around to trying it out. A lot of people in the neighborhood have spoke pretty highly of the restaurant. When we got there, we were seated right away but then no one even recognized we were there for a good 10-15 minutes. It was a Friday night so it was a bit busy... a simple \"I'll be right with you\" from our waitress (who walked past us plenty of times) would have been good though! Once the server greeted us she was very nice. Since we waited so long for a greeting, we had already decided on the menu and ordered right away. After waiting and waiting some more, I over heard another server giving the night's specials.... SEA BASS! An entree in which I love! We couldn't find our waitress (again) and the other server asked if anyone had taken our order, I told him yes but asked if it was too late to change tot he special. They obliged and happily made the change. Our calamari appetizer was so-so. We waited and waited yet again until our entree finally arrived. My fiance ordered crab cakes... a lot of filler, not much crab. My Sea bass was different than I expected... it was a very thin piece of fish and had a VERY salty taste. Not impressed. It IS an Italian restaurant so maybe we just went wrong with our selections... pasta might have been a better choice?? And while the server was friendly and courteous, she certainly didn't score points for timely service or frequent visits to our table. \n\nI don't think we will ever go back for a sit-down dinner again, I do think we'll be back to try their pizza... Carry-out!",
"I have stopped into Maria's twice now, and both times I was disappointed. I actually can't comment on the food because I never stayed long enough to eat. The staff and bar service have just been unfriendly. I didn't want to spend my money at an establishment where no one would even crack a smile. I know people sometimes have bad days, but this was the case on BOTH of my visits. \n\nMy last visit Isaac and I pulled into a desolate parking lot, granted it was only turning 5pm, so maybe we were early. When when we pulled up the server was outside smoking - an immediate turn off for me. I loath cigarette smoke. We went inside to have a drink at the bar before we ate. The bartender was lacking personality, so in his usual style Isaac tried to lighten him up by cracking a joke or two...there was no response. Isaac and I looked at each other, and knew it was time to go. For me the whole experience was rather depressing.\n\nI might give Maria's one last try, but honestly, it will be hard for me to forget my not - so - hot previous experiences.",
"2 times. 2 terrible experiences. First time was at the actual nice \"ristorante\" and they had a special limited menu for v-day. Would have been nice if they told me that in advance instead of when they put the menu in front of me. Oh and it was $50 per person no matter what. 2nd time was At the pizza shop on roxborough. Had a coupon for an 8$ large pizza carryout with no fine print. I go there and they tell me it's only for a plain and toppings are extra and specialty pizzas aren't included. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Got a BBQ chicken pizza. Absolutely horrible. I can eat most things but I took one bite and decided to throw the whole piazza away. Chicken was bad and the sauce tasted like they mixed BBQ sauce right with the pizza sauce. They managed to screw up pizza! Tony A's and Mr P's ftw!",
"The main reason to frequent this establishment is their pizza. At a little over $12 a pie (plain), you can find cheaper pizzas in Roxborough and Manayunk, but the cheese won't be as good. Their cheese is the key to their pizza. Their other dishes are okay, but nothing to write home about. I've only ever gotten carry-out so I can't objectively comment on their service. I will say that the atmosphere seems nice and they have a wide selection of booze. Particularly, beer. Just wish they'd offer more pizza specials.",
"Very very good food, the risotto is fantastic, small place you sometimes are sat almost too close to the people next to you , but in terms of Italian food the place is very good",
"Overpriced dinner! This is not an Ocean Front restaurant and it's not in Center City so there is no need to charge $20 for entrees that didn't even taste that great. \n\nI ordred the crab cakes and my boyfriend had the Shrimp Diablo- a pasta dish with shrimp in a red sauce. The sauce was not even that flavorful. \n\nThe crab cakes were better but still nothing special and not worth $20. The creamy red sauce that these were plated in was the best thing that I ate the whole meal but the crab cakes should have been what really stole the show. \n\nGo for lunch not dinner. I had lunch here once and it was good enough for me to want to try dinner but never again. Chicken Cheesesteak was very tasty!",
"Does anybody work here !!!!!! Hello, Hello!!!!! This is the third time we have tried this place becasue we live right around the corner. I even have sent my clients to them. The three of us sat there last night for 15 minutes until they came over to even took our drink order. Never came back until 20 minutes later with our drinks and mine was wrong. Then our food finally came out 30 minutes later and they had no ketchup for my brothers cheese steak and fries and my salad came out 10 minutes after the other meals came out with the wrong dressing. I could go on and on with my expereineces here and it is the worst run ristorante I have ever been to. My clients that I did send called me and said I should never recommend them. That was very embarrising. Don't waste your time going. You can clearly see by the reviews the owner does not care how his business is ran. Got to big to fast. He needs Gordan Ramsy to get in there."

"Ricci's is a tough call for me. They are cheaper than Sarcone's and closer to me than Chickie's, but I'm just not impressed with their sandwiches. A friend of mine swears that they are amazing, but my two visits don't stand up to that declaration. This is a tried and true hoagie shop, and their dual assembly line set-up promises fast service (as opposed to what can be a very long wait at Sarcone's). It's not bad, I just haven't fallen in love with it.\nWhat I've noticed, by virtue of living close by, is that the clientele seems to be disproportionately black in an otherwise not-very-black area. I haven't the slightest idea why that is, or if maybe I just don't see the whiteys (they all look the same to me), but there it is. \nIf you are on a quest to try South Philly shops in search of the perfect hoagie, please do try Ricci's, just don't expect this to be the best.",
"Hands down the best hoagies I've ever had! Bread has a nice crunchy crust and is soft in the middle. Try the regular Italian hoagie not the deluxe one which has crumbled, aged provolone. And while it sounds good it doesn't translate into a better tasting hoagie than the regular italian. Note: Ricci's is only open during lunch hours M-F and Sat. Hurry up and get there!",
"When my bathroom ceiling fell in for the third time in my old apartment, I had a nice chat with the guy who came to fix it. Marc grew up in South Philly and gave me a ton of recommendations on where to get a good bite to eat in the 'hood. You guessed it: among his recommendations was Ricci's. I was eager to try their sandwiches, but they were closed both times I tried to go (their hours are kind of unfortunate). Yesterday, I finally made it there (after making a pit-stop at CVS to hit the ATM, since they're cash-only) with my two friends who were visiting from Jersey. \n\nThe lines weren't too long; I'd say we waited for about three minutes to order. They have an assembly line of sorts behind the counter consisting of four or five Italian guys, a few of whom I'm assuming were Riccis. I ordered a Honey Turkey hoagie (I don't think you get to choose a size... they're all foot-longs) with lettuce, sweet peppers, onions, provolone, and it was assembled with lightning speed. They wrapped up my hoagie and my deli pickle (only $1 for the biggest pickle ever) and handed it to the cashier, where I was rung up promptly and with a smile. \n\nWe took our hoagies and chips home and proceeded to eat them almost as quickly as they were made. We were not disappointed. Although I still prefer Salumeria hoagies, I will definitely be back for another visit in the near future.",
"No longer must I moan about the dearth of Lee's or Slack's in Center City and South Philly. Today I stumbled on Ricci's Hoagies, and this by far fulfilled my needs. \n\nOrdered the Turkey Hoagie, Oil, Swiss, the works & Hot peppers. \n\nMost Hoagie locales skimp on the roll.. no, not this joint. Its no super-crusty Sarcone's variety, but softer/seeded, and MOLTO BUONO. \n\nAnother perq, rarely found is the oil hoagie seasoning (Lee's is only place I know that has it).. so does Ricci's. That special Hoagie seasoning sauce is the best, kudos. \n\nLocated on 11th, just south of Washington, in beautiful Bella Vista.\nHours are M-Sat 8AM-3pm",
"one of the best - theres like three others. And Primos in my opinion is NOT one of them. Thanks.",
"Ricci's is good. Good Liscio rolls.. decent ingredients.. simple sandwich shop. I am just starting to get really into sandwiches, and Paesano's has easily rolled over Ricci's, in my opinion, so I'm not as hype as I once was, on Ricci's. But if you want a regular, simple hoagie and can get down there before 3:15.. then this is a very good spot, with a bag of Herr's Sour Cream and Onion and a soda.. recommended.",
"Welcome to South Philly. We do a lot of things poorly, some ok, and just a few perfectly. On that short list of perfection is Ricci's hoagies. \n\nI have traveled most of the country, and nowhere can you get a hoagie (ahem, \"sub\") like this. The place is, as noted by other reviewers, small and kinda strange. There is zero flash to this spot. You literally walk up to a guy at a deli slicer and order your pleasure, he slices the cold cuts and cheese, sends it to another person who puts toppings on (lettuce tomato onion pickles peppers and a whole host of others) and then hands it to you. \n\nI have had just about everything on the menu, from the Italian to the American to the tuna. My personal favorite is the roast beef. Rare and sliced thin, it is perfection on a bun. \n\nThis place is invaluable to Philly. The sort of place that makes South Philly South Philly.",
"My dad has been bringing me here for as long as I could remember. They have the best hoagies hands down in south philly... This is really a south philadelphia hoagie. The lady in there that looks like Sandra Bullock is the best hoagie maker",
"I like the hoagies at Ricci's, but i like hoagies almost anywhere. Cold cuts and cheese on bread with your choice of accoutrement, what's not to like? So i don't necessarily judge a hoagie shop based on the food. However, i will say that my American hoagie from Ricci's has never let me down.\n\nThe pros: \n-this location is convenient, at least for me. \n-sandwiches are made fresh to order right before your eyes. No funny stuff. \n-service is speedy around lunch time.\n\nThe cons:\n-cash only. and their ATM has some ridiculous fee. \n-the staff arent always the friendliest. they have their days.\n-if you go in the morning, like me, to grab your lunch on your way to work, the service can be really slow. They are prepping party trays and standing orders and will finish with that before they deal with the customers right in front of them. \n\nAnyway. 4 stars for making a tasty sandwich and being around the corner.",
"This is called a South Philadelphia hoagie....!!!!! If you want a grand experience with fireworks blasting come to Ricci's!! My dad brought me here as a young girl (he made me the Foodie I am today, lol) after school me still in my Catholic school uniform and we ordered the best hoagie ever....\n\nThe wait is quick and everyone just forms a line and they make your hoagie assembly line style. My favorite is the lady in there she looks like Sandra bullock she is very nice.... \n\nHoagie roll is soft and toppings fresh.... \n\nRICCI never disappoints but get there early because they close like 3ish."

"I've noticed signs on Columbus Road announcing a Mexican grill addition to the shopping plaza. However, on my morning trips to Dunkin Donuts for some caffeine I have tried to locate the restaurant with no success. Today I finally realized it is sort of behind the dentist's office. \n\nI told my fiance I had located the ever elusive new Mexican restaurant and that we should give it a try. So, tonight we stopped in around 8 to find several tables filled and lots of servers bustling around. \n\nThe interior is bright and colorful yet intimate and romantic. There are maybe a dozen tables and a few booths. The tables are carved and painted, there are floral murals on the walls and of course a fountain! \n\nThe servers are dressed in traditional Mexican clothing. Everyone who passed our table asked how we liked the food and if we needed anything. They could not have been any more kind and it was nice to feel appreciated and taken care of. \n\nAll of the above is wonderful but what really matters is the food. Once seated we were quickly given a big basket of fresh tortilla chips and salsa. The salsa was delicious but did not have any spice to it. We ordered the Queso Fundido which came with a few warm flour tortillas. The cheese was bubbling in a cast iron skillet. The edges were crisp but the middle still gooey. It was great but of course oily. Melted cheese is like that, so we just enjoyed! \n\nFor our main dishes my fiance ordered a chimichanga and asked the server for his recommendation on filling. The server sold him on the pollo al pastor. I ordered the vegetable enchiladas with red sauce. \n\nThe food arrived very quickly and looked good. My fiance said the chimichanga was excellent and very filling. He said he wasn't in the mood for chicken but was glad he went with the servers recommendation because it was very tasty. \n\nMy enchiladas were excellent as well. The filling was steamed vegetables. I am used to frozen vegetables that are overcooked and tasteless. I was pleasantly surprised to see real, fresh vegetables inside! While they did not taste seasoned they were cooked well. Definitely fresh and flavorful on their own. The sauce was complex and delicious! \n\nOne of the best parts of the meal were the humble side dishes: refried beans and rice. They were each very flavorful and hearty. I could have easily made a meal of them alone! These are not mass produced, chain restaurant type beans and rice. These were cooked with experience and love. \n\nMost main dishes are around $13 and combination platters are $15+. \n\nIf you pay with a credit card they leave a clover tablet at your table to pay with. Very cool!\n\nVery minor demerits include fountain soda that was not very cold, the food coming out a tad too quickly, Jarritos that cost $3 a bottle and a website that doesn't work.",
"The food is super salty, the waitress are not familiar with their electronic system making this experience even more disappointing we were charged for a second order of chips that we didn't have. We waited an hour for our food, the food was ok, nothing to write home about. Prices are super expensive. We ordered a meal and got something different than we ordered. We returned for a second time and still not impressed, the main ingredient is SALT, the food was tasteless! Will not recommend or return",
"Inedible food, had to walk out. \n\nWe were so excited to try the new Mexican restaurant. The area was sorely in need of a quality Mexican restaurant. Sadly, that need has not been satisfied. \n\nWe were happy to get chips and salsa immediately upon seating. The chips were warm, but not salted. The salsa was good, but obviously not fresh. Honestly, it tasted directly from the jar. \n\nThe décor is very well done and fun! The glasses and plates are great too. \n\nWe ordered a chicken burrito with a red sauce that the waitress said wasn't too spicy and a vegetable burrito platter with salsa verde (green). \n\nThe dishes arrived quickly. The burritos were accompanied by re fried beans and rice. Neither burrito had any sauce and instead were covered in a gummy, clear gel substance. Cutting open the burrito, the chicken was plain boiled chicken with zero seasoning. The vegetable burrito was plain steamed vegetable medley that was from one of those frozen bird's eye bags of 'steamables', with the cauliflower and carrot chips. Zero seasoning on that either. The beans tasted burnt as if they were scraped from the bottom of the pan. The rice had an adequate taste, but was dry. \n\nWe sent back the chicken burrito and asked why the sauce was not provided. The waitress accused us of not asking for sauce. They attempted to fix the vegetable burrito and add the salsa verde. It came back out with only cheese added and re-wrapped. Still no sauce. \n\nThe manager was sweet. She apologized and hoped we would try them again. We left with no charge and had to settle for a slice of pizza next door.",
"I have been here twice. They just opened about 3 weeks ago. Our food and service was good and I hope they stick around! BYOB\nThe soups are delicious especially the #1 soup w the seafood. \nVery friendly staff. \nThey need to have their sign out up out front! They are tucked away on the side of the shopping complex and easy to miss.",
"We have been to this place twice and have had a great meal both times. The food is authentic and very tasty. They need a sign out front to bring people in but other than that it is great. The place is clean and friendly. I hope everyone finds this place so we can keep it going.",
"My family and I went for dinner tonight. The service was very good and they're all so sweet and friendly. The decor is wonderful! The prices are very reasonable and the food was very, very good!",
"We finally had dinner at this New Mexican restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The space is decorated in a very festive Mexican style. The chips and salsa were fresh. Although only your first basket is free, we were completely satisfied. The special of the night was a seafood burrito. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were not overdone. We also enjoyed the nachos with grilled chicken which were artfully displayed and equally delicious. We will return!",
"So excited to have a Mexican restaurant close by. Brand new, beautiful decor. It is super cute and well done. Food was good. No complaints. Portions were large. I had the chicken chimichanga. It wasn't the best I have had, but it was good. I really like the verde sauce. Husband had steak tacos and the steak was perfect. Chips and salsa immediately after sitting. No wait. Friendly staff. Byob. Oh and the flan was good, but was different than any flan I have ever had. Really good though. Will definitely be back!",
"I stumbled upon this place when I went to Homestead Plaza. I wanted to get BBQ but found that it was closed and needed to get dinner. I saw this, looked it up on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I LOVE authentic Mexican food. When I went in, I felt like I was not in Columbus anymore. Decor was super nice, and it seemed very clean. Ambiance was definitely relaxing and the staff was incredibly friendly.\n\nI got take out and the waitress was able to answer the questions I had for her when I was looking through the menu to order. I did feel like the menu was confusing, there were too many words, cluttered, and repeat items on the menu with completely different prices.\n\nI ordered the flautas de pollo, steak tacos and a side of guacamole. I thought it was OKAY price-wise. At most Mexican places I've gone to, they would give you 4-5 flautas per order. This place only gave 3 with a side of rice and beans. I thought the flautas were good, I like the crispiness of the fried corn tortilla, and the chicken inside was pretty flavorful. They used sour cream for a drizzle, but I prefer the cotija cheese at other restaurants. The tacos were just alright. I thought that they gave a lot of meat for the tacos, but the corn tortillas were extremely greasy. These were definitely the greasiest tortillas I've had if they're homemade.\n\nThe biggest issue for me was the guacamole. I ordered a side of guacamole and had asked what the size would be. The waitress measured it out for me with her hands, and it seemed like a decent size for $7.99. The container was barely 3/4 full, and when I dug into the container, they stuffed the bottom with shredded lettuce. This is absolutely unacceptable. This guacamole did not even come with chips AND there was lettuce instead of actual guacamole. I can make my own guacamole with a $7.99 bag of 5 avocados from ShopRite and it would taste better. \n\nI took a shot, but I don't know if I would come back!",
"SO GLAD ITS HERE!! Fantastic homemade chips & Salsa, good service, cheap prices and beautiful decor!! \nMeals were on point!!"

"Great food! Fast, flavorful, and a great price too! Found them on Market St, a short walk from work, and was happy to see a new place to try. I got the teriyaki chicken bop \"gangam style\" and was not disappointed. The gangam style gave it a nice spicy kick, and it was still nice and hot when I got back to the office. I look forward to trying the other bops as well!",
"Had the spicy chicken bop at lunch today.... So good! Quite shocked at how fast it was ready and how delicious it was. Oh and it came in a very nice paper bowl, no styrofoam :).",
"My husband and I agree this truck may have cracked our top 5 favorites. We both had the bulgogi (beef) cup, he with potstickers and I with an eggroll. Both sides were tasty, but the eggroll was particularly excellent. The main part of the meal was delicious - filling and flavorful. And it was ready basically by the time we had finished paying. I'm looking forward to trying other \"flavors\" in the future, particularly the spicy pork.",
"Had their Beef Bop with Brown rice, and Mandu from their Food truck downtown on Market Street across from the Bank of America building for lunch today. Food was good and amazingly fast!!! Comes in a paper bowl.",
"They were out of the beef bowl so I ordered the spicy chicken! It was delicious. Waited in a very long line but that's to be expected at a food truck event and I really was worth it",
"Rating a food truck is a little different than a brick and mortar restaurant. For the most part, the focus has to be the quality of the food, the preparation, the speed of the order being fulfilled, and the cleanliness of the truck. After ordering and devouring Kbop's delicious food, I had to immediately review it to stop myself from ordering three more and sending myself into a coma. It is really that good.\n\nInitially, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just giving out 5-star ratings like they were going out of style. Having been to this truck twice, I can say that the review is merited. Both times, I ordered the spicy chicken bop and both times were incredible. The chicken was cooked properly and was so tender. The quantity of meat in relation to the rice, rice noodles, and cabbage was right on. The sauce was just spicy enough and adding the creamy honey sauce was an excellent addition. The best part: I no sooner pressed the submit button on their iPad that the food was being handed to me. \n\nAs I write this, the line is building (the local fire chief just joined the crowd). There is a reason why they sell out and I can't say enough good things about them. Friendly staff, quick fulfillment, and amazing food makes this a no-brainer. Well done, guys. Welcome to the top of the list with the small group of excellent trucks in St. Louis.",
"Stopping by this truck on Food Truck Friday was a great choice! The line was longer than most but was well worth the wait. The employees clearly had a system and the line moved rapidly. I got the bulgogi (beef) bowl and added potstickers. Wow. This bowl was packed with rice, noodles, cabbage, carrots, and meat. The flavors were rich and delicious and the combination of textures worked perfectly. I used soy sauce and an orange sauce that reminded me of the sauce at Seoul Taco! I would love if someone could tell me what that is!?\n\nI would go out of my way to find this food truck again! Give it a try!",
"I had the Spicy Pork Bop (comes with Japchae, rice and some cabbage) and the Cucumber Kimchi. I was stationed in Korea for two years with the Air Force and crave Korean food constantly. This had the best flavor I've had in the St. Louis area by far. Just a touch of heat so it can be enjoyed by everyone (I covered mine in gochujang, however). Highly recommend! \n\n*(^o^)*",
"The hype is real! I had K-Bop for the first time at Food Truck Friday. I rushed to them as soon as I got there to beat any line and they had their act together. They had rows and rows of their signature bright yellow cups lined up and full of fresh food. \n\nThey were handing them out like hot cakes. Seriously, those things were flying by. If you've been to Food Truck Friday you know how amazing this truly is. Some trucks have lines that take an hour to get through. K-Bop brought their service A-game and even had separate lines for cash and cards. Their superb service made it that much better of an experience. \n\nI went with the Beef Bop and I opted for paying a small fee for some fried dumplings on top. Worth it. The cup was tasty from start to finish. The put their protein on top of rice and noodles to give you a taste of everything. I wish it had a little more beef but overall it was a hearty amount of food. I'm just a glutton. \n\nAlso, +1 for their branding ^.^ ~~~~KAWAII~~~~~~ ^.^",
"I took a steak bop bowl and a side of potstickers home with me at lunch time one day. I was so delighted with the quality and flavors of my lunch, the dog kept running into the kitchen to see if there was anything in it for him. (Definitely not, there was nothing left!) This food truck is permanently on my watch list for its metro-west ventures."

"I love this bakery and it's the one that I will go to if I need a cake nearby. They are the only bakery that I know that can do number cakes and picture cakes, which I always do because I am a very humorous person and I do those for my bday peeps! They always did my cakes and I never had a problem with them. It's a very reasonable price and very good. It is more on a sweeter side to it, but it's still very good. The only thing they don't do is fondant cakes. \n\nThey do a lot of already made cakes with like kids designs and stuff for them, and they like cute design cupcakes for kids as well. They sell all types of different cakes as well, which is why I really like going there and ordering it and it is not too far from me as well. The only thing I hate when going there is that there's no parking. I usually pre order my stuff and go pick it up. They even have candles there to buy. Great bakery and I am going to use it soon as a matter of fact for a picture cake! :D",
"I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this place before. I get my cakes for all family events and birthdays from Oteri's bakery. They never let me down and never cease to amaze me. They have pre-made designed cakes for those last minute purchases or you could order ahead of time and get the cake just how you like it the day of the event. You could pick one of their designs, switch up their designs, or bring in a copy of your invitations or a photo and have it scanned onto the cake. \n\nThe cakes are reasonably priced and come in different sizes. I normally get their regular sheet cake and never hear any complaints. It tastes so good! I've had cakes with too much icing which make the cake too sweet. Oteri's does it right. ;)\n\nThey also sell cookies, cupcakes and pies all specially decorated for different occasions. They sell piñatas and bday candles too.",
"I have bought several cakes from Oteris, and I always have a plesant experience. Great customer service, unique and delicous tasting cakes, and convenient hours. Also they recently opened up a new location in Southwest Philly",
"Remember going to this place like 12 years ago. Remember it being really dirty and attached to a jewelry store. Kinda creepy, kinda shady.",
"This is a totally mixed review and here's why~ I have been to the Original Oteri's and had great things but recently went to the newer bakery near Franklin Mills, NE Philly and it was horrible! I ordered cookies, which were just average, and 2 cupcakes. The cupcakes were so hard and stale that they did not crumbel but instead broke in chunks. I have never seen icing so hard, the jimmies on the cupcakes were a faded color, old and stale:( I was very excited to have an original Philly bakery around and then this. After this I went to buy pies for Thanksgiving, they were ok but packaged so poorly (just wrapped in a clear cling wrap type of wrap) that they were ruined by the time I got them home. I also bought a slice of Italian Cream Cake, it was actually pretty good. While there the first time I did notice an Oteri's delviery truck making their delivery I assume from another where they bake everything? I hope this is not how they are going to be because I would really like to go back and get some more goodies!!",
"Im not too crazy about this bakery. everything is good except the cakes. I think that is the most important part of a bakery especially if you DESIGN them. The cake is really good when you first cut into it but like five minutes later it gets really really ROCK SOLID HARD!!! the cake dries out. Although i must say the designs are nice and they could decorate a cake really good but besides it looking pretty, you want it to taste good. That's not the case at all. Also, one of my good friends ordered a cke from there and they delivered it a week early. She sent it back and they froze the cake and gave it to her the following week. She could tell it was frozen because you could see all the wet marks and the cake was frozen in the middle!! That is BIG NO NO!!! I would NEVER order a cake from them",
"I agree with other reviewers that the place should be cleaner than it is, but I would call it more messy than dirty. Old School Italian bakeries can still maintain their feel/nostalgia/ambiance and be updated. \n\nMy gelato was so terrible that I threw it away. I'm an ice cream-aholic, so you know it was bad if I couldn't bring myself to eat it. It was gritty and chewy, as if it had caramel in it. It was even hard to scoop with the plastic spoon because the scooped gelato wouldn't pull away from that still in the bowl without effort. I took 2 bites and tossed it. If it hadn't been a night when I was super-tired, I would have taken it back & complained.\n\nOn the other hand, the cannoli rocked. I'm a cannoli aficionado and recognize a good thing when I taste it. \n\nI bought 2 cheesecake slices. They were pretty good.",
"they have great cookies and pastries with amazing puddings. on the downside its always packed in there and I would not recommend getting a decorated birthday cake. they use pound cake as a base which is dry. I prefer moist cakes which they do not offer .",
"Do not order your cake here. I ordered my wedding cake here because I passed by Oteri's bakery and saw their presentation which really impressed me at the moment. So, Oteri's bakery delivered a cake that was completely off. They shipped me a cake that I didn't even order! I also paid for them to put a water fountain and did not receive it until I called them to bring it, and on top of that my reception was about to start! The guy was setting up the cake while my guests were coming in! I was so upset during my wedding I was speechless. So a few days later I went to speak with an employee who told me the manager Lisa who was on the phone would only credit me back $50 out of the $360 I paid. She also told her employee to throw mean anniversary cake. At this point I didn't want the cake and ask if she could refund at least half of the price of the cake because it's not the cake I ordered or wanted. I was told no and Lisa didn't even speak to me. It's been a week and she still did not call me back. I put a post up on their Facebook page to write about my service and was told to go order at Shoprite! An apology would have even been acceptable. Horrible experience!",
"I was surfing the web for exceptional cakes with a pink pony theme and I stumbled upon this one on Pinterest that I fell in love with. I came to Oteri's and was quoted a price of $150.00 for a cake that only feeds 25 people most. I felt the price was very high, but because it was my princess' birthday and I just wanted her to be happy I placed the order. While ordering I asked them if the cake could be made with a chocolate batter instead of vanilla, I was informed that it would cost more because they would have to add flavoring to it. I thought that was a bit outrageous. Another reason I thought the cake price was high is because I even brought in the decorations for them to place of the cake, yet it was still very costly. Anyways, it gets worse, every time I called the store to discuss my cake it would take them 20 minutes to locate my receipt even after I provided the receipt number. I would have to sit down every time and give them a detailed description saying what I ordered and mention the fact that my order is with a big 13\" toy box that you can't miss. So they assured me the could match my cake photo at the time of order, yet when I arrived to pick it up it it was much different. The colors were off, the fondant was cracked, and the cake was much smaller than the picture I supplied them with. I don't mean in circumference, bu tin length. My cake was taller and they made a very short one. Anyways, due to last minute rush I just took it and left it be. So as soon as I get home the decorative fondant starts to crack and break off. They made a sun with my daughter's age written on it and the sun and rainbow just fell off of the cake and broke altogether. When we went to taste the cake, it was hard and not moist at all. I, as you can see, was very displeased and unsatisfied with their service. Never again. When you spend that much you expect a quality cake, unfortunately I was let down."

"Best homemade Filipino in town! Everyone here is super friendly and helpful! I was kinda sad when I found out that they didn't have any lumpia, but the owner quickly went to the back and made me some!!! BEST SERVICE EVER !!! Highly recommend this place if you're craving some legit Filipino food!",
"Great local family-owned Filipino Deli / Market. The food is amazing the people that own it are the nicest people. If you want a quick homemade meal think of this as a Filipino style Meat and three it is great.",
"I have been a fan of Filipino food after living there for a few years. Everywhere I travel one of the things I look for is a Filipino Restaurant where I am visiting. I found out that Maemax Market and Restaurant recently opened in La Vergne and I was like a kid on Christmas morning. My first (and not last) meal was Bistek, plain white rice, and Shanghai Lumpia...it was delicious. The Bistek that was well seasoned and the meat very tender...it went well with the sticky white rice. As for the Lumpia...those four pieces did not survive!!! Just a word of warning...go early...lunch early to get the full buffet available. But what was really nice, Malo told me if given a bit of notice she would fix something up for me. Just love the Filipino people and their friendliness!!!\n\nYou get a lot of food for the price, excellent conversation from Chris and Malo who were wonderful hosts, and that satisfied feeling after a really good homemade meal. They have so many other items to try...I know I will be a frequent visitor! \n\nMasarap na pagkain!!!",
"I had gone to the previous shop located here, begrudgingly. I stopped by to get something for lunch, saw it was a new shop and owners. I got menudo and the clear noodle stir fry....yum, yum. Very good food. And the lady who served me was very nice and informative. I'll definitely be going back here.",
"This is one of my go to spots for a quick lunch. I've had their menudo, bistek and chicken adobo and all are phenomenal. They're definitely dishes that need to be eaten with rice. The owners are so friendly and nice. The menu changes everyday so you know what you're eating is fresh! Awesome place of business.",
"Decided to try something new today and saw Maemax mentioned in a talk thread the other day, and they were highly recommended. After eating there, I can see why! I took a look at their website site first to see if there was a menu online and found that their Facebook page is updated daily with the day's menu items. After googling a few to see what they were, I made the short drive. The market is very easy to find and there is plenty of parking. \n\nI was greeted as soon as I walked in, and the two ladies working there were as nice as could be. The right side of the market is lined with coolers full of interesting items with aisles of goods in the center. I glanced down a few and wanted to take a few minutes to look around, but I needed to grab a bite and get back to work.\n\nWhen I made my way over to the restaurant side, the lady on that side asked if I had ever had Filipino food and explained the day's offerings. I decided to try the three item combo with barbeque pork, pancit and squid adobo. Then a bowl of rice nearly as big as my head found it's way onto my tray. With all of the carbs, I decided to forego some of the tasty looking beverage choices and go with water. \n\nI was surprised that the pork was served cold, but it worked! It had a sweet glaze and even cold was delicious and tender. The pancit was pure heaven. It was tasty, had great texture and had lots of pork and veggies. Now for the squid... I'll eat anything, and that's a good thing because these critters are served whole. The sauce was really good with a lot of flavors working together, but it took a couple of bites to really take hold. It's a flavor profile you just won't find in American food, so it's a bit of a shock at first, but if you hang in there it is so worth it! The squid wasn't tough at all, and the sauce was great poured over the rice. \n\nNext time I go, I'm going with the two item combo, though. I'm a big guy and can put down some food, but the amount you get with the three item combo is insane. I wasn't able to finish everything, and that is a rare occurrence for me.\n\nI will definitely be back to do a little shopping and to eat some more of this delicious food!",
"I've been looking for a Filipino restaurant in Nashville and I'm so glad my gf found this place. This is a combo for Filipinos it's both market and a \"Turo-Turo\" style restaurant. I feel like I'm back to the Philippines each time I visit. Also, the owners are super friendly, they will often check on you and how you like the food. I've sat with them and spend 30-1hr just chatting.\n\nThe Market - I've been coming here almost every Saturday, and every time we are greeted when we walked in. The market is on the right side as you walked in. They have plenty of options to choose from ube-bread, pandesal, and pan de coco (coconut filled bread) which they get from a bakery in Seattle. They have noodles, vegetables (malungay), fish sauce, and bagoong (fish paste), fresh langka (jack fruit), and frozen meat.\n\nThe Turo-Turo - Turo-turo style restaurant is basically what you see is what you get. In Tagalog turo-turo means \"point-point\", just point what you want and they will bag or plate your side with a scope of rice or pancit (noodles). This is essentially our fast food in the Philippines.\n\nThe Food - I recommend you check their Facebook page to see what they have. Their menu changes every day, which is nice and they also have chef specials which include lechon kawali (fried pork belly), sisig, palabok (noodles) and more. Every time I've visited I've gotten something different that I or my mom don't often make. I had the tokwat baboy (fried tofu and pork belly) which is served in a mixture of onions, vinegar, and pepper. I really liked this dish its perfect amount of vinegar and sweetness. The escabeche (fried fish in sweet and sour sauce) was the bomb, even my girlfriend really liked it. It's fried tilapia cooked with ginger and carrots with the sauce. Be careful picking out the fishbone!\n\nThe second time or 3rd time I've visited (I lost tracked) I got dinuguan (blood stew), kare-kare (beef cooked in peanut sauce), and lechon kawali (fried pork belly). The only complaint I have is that the lechon kawali (fried pork belly) was chewy it's supposed to be crunchy. Other than the blood stew and kare-kare were delicious! My gf really liked their pancit and lumpia, I have to admit the lumpia (eggrolls) is one of the best I've ever had.\n\nDessert - They have halo-halo! But I highly recommend you ask if they have ube (purple yam) ice cream. They don't have it posted on their menu yet, but man that ube ice cream was delicious! It's homemade by the owner and she got it down, its perfect combination of ube flavor (dehydrated ube), milk, and sweetness. Right now they sell it by the scoop, I'm hoping they package it by the pint. I will continue to drive 30 minutes to this place just for the ice cream, the food, and the people!",
"I've been putting off this review because every time I go, I have something else to rave about. My girlfriend (who is Filipina) and I first heard about Maemax, we immediately changed the lunch plans we had and drove 20 minutes out of our way to LaVergne to check it out. \n\nMaemax is about 60% market, 40% restaurant. The inside is clean and bright, and the friendly owners and workers greet you when you come in. The market side has everything from snacks to sauces to a small selection of produce to frozen meats and seafood. They also have fresh breads, delivered weekly from a bakery in Seattle and house-made goodies. The snacks (my favorite section) are right next to the restaurant side so you can stare longingly while you eat, but the sweet stuff is kept up high to be kid friendly! Try the Nagaraya, which is a \"cracker nut\" (peanuts covered in crunchy shells). I may or may not be crunching through a bag of them while I write this review...\n\nThe food is served what I refer to as cafeteria-style; most of it is pre-made and kept hot. You can see the dishes behind a glass panel and choose what you want. This style of serving works well for potentially unfamiliar foods because you can see what you're getting. A selection of bottled and canned drinks is available toward the front of the store. The owners and workers are super friendly and will happily explain all of that day's offerings to you and even recommend things you might want like. For the items served cafeteria-style, pricing is based on how many items you choose (1, 2, or 3, all served with rice). As a carbaholic, the pancit (noodles) is my absolute favorite. Nothing is terribly expensive, though, so I highly recommend trying something new; it will probably be delicious! Also ask about the lumpia (egg rolls), which are fried upon ordering in the back. All of the food I've tried has been delicious.\n\nAlthough its a bit of a drive from Nashville proper, we seem to find ourselves returning here for the yummy food and the friendly owners. Whether this is your first time trying Filipino food or its an old favorite of yours, it is definitely worth the trip!",
"I love that there's a Filipino restaurant in Nashville. The price is very affordable. The combo allows me to try three dishes for $9.99 which is great since I can never just pick one! Their menu changes everyday so follow them on Facebook because they'll post it online. Great family atmosphere and traditional Filipino cooking.",
"Finally! A Filipino restaurant in Nashville that Filipinos can enjoy! ... And share with their friends too! Pancit, adobo, palabok, menudo, bistek, sisig, dinuguan, pompano, halo halo, turon, pichi-pichi, kutsinta, etc!!! \n\nIt's all about great food less the needless timings of fine dining. Excellent Filipino Cuisine!\n\nThey offer party platters for office potlucks and events. They cater for house parties."

"OK... I know it's been a while since I updated with any reviews and I'm a little behind on ones I've been meaning to put up here. This was from another experience during my Tampa trip last week. \n\nThis Chili's first off has a llllloooooonnnngggg wait time and take it, it was a Friday night. But I guess Chili's is popular in the \"Sunshine State\" because the other one we passed was told to be impossible to get in the year 2008. \n\nSo we wait, and wait, and wait, holding a strange device that lights up when we are ready to be seated. So finally the \"Star Wars\" utensil flashes and we make our way inside. Some of my friends with me are rather large fellows, so groups of teeny boppers, anorexic \"Project Runway\" wanna Be's and jocks walking by sticking out their manly ripped muscle-boob chests as they pass were all giving looks of \"OMG! Kill me if I ever look like that!\". Take it I paid no mind but gave beautiful smiles instead to locals and tourists who try all way too hard to be \"Hannah Montana's\" foster family. \n\nSo we take our seats and start off with the special drink options, which is far from special. A friend and myself got the two for one margarita deal. But I guess $18 for two margaritas in small mugs is considered a two for one? I ordered some kind of Reuben melt, not half-bad and their fries are pretty tasty as usual. I didn't like our waitress who avoided us many occasions when we needed refills or any other assistance. One of our friends in the group chuckled since she had a lazy eye, but they meant no harm. I believe she over heard it because she continued to slam dishes at our counter, mugs, and even before we finished she tossed the checks. \n\nA manager did approach us and apologize for the rather long wait for the food and how it looked like people who were seated after us were getting faster service. When I do ever visit Tampa again, I won't be checking into this particular Chili's. I'm really not a fan of chain restaurants anyway and as you know, ones with \"White-made Mexican\" food.",
"As a vegetarian who can't eat corn, I'm biased against Chili's. This visit was better than I expected -- which means TWICE as many stars as I'd ordinarily imagine.\n\nMy diet Coke with a slice of lime was always refilled quickly, and always had a fresh slice of lime in it. And despite my frustration in not being able to substitute something for the bacon in the fries with cheese, jalapenos and bacon, the order came out accurately and tasted fairly good.\n\nOur server seemed to be absent when we were ready to order and when we were ready to get the check, but while we ate he was easy to find, and usually found us just before we'd ask for refills.\n\nGiven that this is, after all, Chili's, two stars is a good rating. I don't think Chili's can go beyond three stars without sexual favors being exchanged.",
"If you are smart enough to read a review of Chili's, you should know better than to go to Chili's. \n\nYes, I am yelping Chili's. I am doing this because I feel obliged as a good citizen to tell you to stop. Stop it. Fucking stop eating here. Why would you do this to yourself? Is it the gawdy atmosphere, the terrible food, the weak '2 for 1' drinks? How do you not know how miserable this place is? Do you really have no better option?\n\nChili's is either directly or indirectly the cause of almost everything bad in the world. What's the bright side? So far I surmise that there isn't one. It is an absolute bad.\n\nWhat's your favorite dish at Chili's? Whatever it is, you can get it made better somewhere else, or you shouldn't be eating it anyway. Most likely the latter. \n\nThis really applies to all of this type of restaurant, but Chili's is the poster-child for the genre because of its incredible commitment to mediocrity. So stop it. Really, stop eating anywhere that has a song and dance prepared for birthdays.\n\nI'm just trying to do my part, people. If I can deter at least one person from the sad, sad experience of dining here I'll be alright, but to try to reach a broader audience, I'm going to include some useful Google/Yelp search keywords to draw in the curious:\n\n\n\nWhy am I so fucking fat? ; Why are my children so fucking fat? ; deep fried onion ; b.o. remedy ; heart disease ; salt ; scatology ; war ; abortion ; 9/11 ; cultural vortex",
"Id rather eat the inside of a bear's asshole.",
"Food at Chilis is usually acceptable. The sizzling fajitas are usually good. Usually at other locations. This location has the worst food in town. Not sizzling at all. They ask us like eight times if we wanted boxes to take the food that we didn't eat. But, if we didn't eat it at the restaurant, why take it home! Not one item that was ordered was more than 1 star. Service was very good.",
"I would have to say that for a Chilis this place isn't bad. I has the nachos and my friend had the quesadilla salad. Both of which were fresh and delicious. The service was amazing as well.",
"Typical Chili's...\n\nOur server was great, the food OK.",
"The food was alright. Not good or bad. My issue was with the service. Our waiter was extremely slow. He would disappear for a long time then come back and see a drink was empty and say he would get another one. After awhile a woman waiting other tables would ask if we needed a drink and would say he is getting it. Then she would come back with one before him. This happened twice. I'm sure he was busy but come on. Plus the food took a long time to come out. not sure if that was the kitchen or him getting lost. We were very disappointed. I'll stick to the one in Brandon from now on.",
"Yes, I understand its chilis, but give me. Break: I was craving a brownie sundae and had a free appetizer coupon. My stomach rules my life (my stomach's girth will tell you the whole story). \n\nThe original waitress I had introduced herself and then disappeared and another girl took care of us the rest of our meal. I kinda wondered if someone actually bit her head off bc there were some really rude people there, but then I saw her towards the end and she was in a different section. Seems like they move people between stations a lot, which would irritate me if I were them, but whatever. \n\nThe food was hot, my water was refilled on time, and it satisfied my craving. I can't ask for much else from a university-area chain.",
"Out with my bosslady on a weekday after work. I've been to this location a few times already and so far it's been a good vibe and atmosphere. This night the only down fall was the wings were cold and my frozen yummies were a little watery. Besides the blah food this time around fhe service was good as always and the crowd was awesome. I have to say it made my night when a customer came to me and said my style was awesome (like duh have you seen me lol). It was flattering. Ill be back for some more good times."

"I had such a good burger at their St. Petersburg location I thought it would be fun to try them again, here at the Tradewinds Resort. They're nestled inside a mini mall in the back of the resort, not far from the beach.\nI got the Smokin' Jack Sliders which consisted of four perfectly cooked mini burgers with a smoky mayo. I absolutely loved the mashed potato side as it came with a Guinness gravy on top. A filling appetizer indeed. Our friends had the Potato Skins which came with crumbled bacon, cheddar and sour cream and the Cheddar Broccoli soup.\nNice little knosh and not too expensive. Service was good and the sports t.v.'s\nwere not so loud as to drown out our conversation.",
"We were staying at the Tradewinds and went to this place a couple of times while we were there. When we booked the hotel, I started looking at the restaurants they had on property. I saw Beef's (I recognized the name from a college football bowl game), so I checked out the website. They boast world famous wings and it looked like a really cool place, so I was excited to check it out. I even joined their e-mail list and they had sent me some coupons and special offers.\n\nWe go there for lunch on our second day. I ordered the \"Watterson\" sandwich and my wife had a salad. Also, we started out with 8 wings. I am a huge Buffalo wing fan, so I was curious to see how good they were. The wings were pretty good - not great but they were decent. But, they use a pre-packaged blue cheese which I thought was very strange for a wing place. \n\nThe \"Watterson\" sandwich I had was very good. It was a roast beef sandwich on grilled rye with all your usual sandwich toppings. It was a very unique sandwich but also very good. I was pleased. My wife was not as lucky. Her salad was made with lettuce that wasn't bad but it wasn't crispy and fresh. To put it mildly, her salad was pretty bad.\n\nWe ate another meal there later during the stay and I had a burger and she had the cheeseburger wrap. My burger's bun was stale - even though it was toasted. It wasn't inedible but it just wasn't fresh. My wife really liked her wrap. On a side note, they have $1.50 drafts M-F from 4-7 for happy hour. \n\nSo - out of the 4 meals we had, 2 were decent and 2 just really weren't that fresh. Also, the wings were pretty good and the happy hour special were the best at the hotel.\n\nTypically, I wouldn't give a restaurant a 1-star based on all I wrote. I would probably go 2 or 3 stars. But...\n\nHere is the 1-star explanation....\n\nLike I said above, I joined the mailing list and was emailed some coupons and special offers. So, after our meal I tried to use one of the coupons. The waitress proceeds to tell me, you can not use this - we aren't affiliated with Beef O' Brady's, we are only affiliated with the Tradewinds. The waitress was very polite about it, and I was on vacation so I didn't question it.\n\nThen I started thinking about it - I am someone who hates being lied to or BS'd. I was thinking about that experience later in the day and it started to irk me. How can a place named Beef O' Brady's that is listed on the Beef O' Brady's website have Beef O' Brady employees telling customers that they have no affiliation with Beef O' Brady's? When you think about it logically for about 5 seconds, it is an absolutely ridiculous notion. I don't blame our waitress as someone obviously told her to say this, but give me a freakin' break. \n\nSo - for the 1st time ever I emailed a company directly to let them know about this. I simply explained that I was very confused as to how a Beef O' Brady's restaurant listed on their website can say that they have no affiliation with Beef O' Brady's.\n\nA week later, i haven't heard anything - don't expect to. I am sure they felt no need to respond to someone from NJ who is clearly not a regular customer and just stopped in on vacation, but I feel like that is a terrible way to do business. Needless to say, I will not be coming back when I am in FL.",
"We were staying at the Trade Winds Resort and decided to eat here on two separate occasions. On our first day at the resort, we decided to have lunch here. The service this day sucked. Not sure if our waitress was new or if she just was clueless! I shared the Chili Cheese Dip & Chips as an appetizer. The chili cheese dip was alright. I was expecting more out of the dip though. I ordered the Fish Tacos (white fish, hand-breaded and topped with cabbage, cheddar jack cheese and creamy Poblano sauce) and my boyfriend ordered a chicken quesadilla. The fish tacos were pretty good (although I would have preferred it if the fish was grilled rather than fried). The chicken quesadilla on the other hand, it was blah. It tasted as if it came out of a microwave.\n\nOn our last day at the resort, we had dinner at Beef's. This was not by choice (our friends were eating there and we decided to meet up). I decided to give them another try. On this day, service was really good and attentive. Our waitress constantly checked up on us, even when the restaurant was packed. I had the Boneless Chicken Wing Basket with curly fries as an appetizer and the Chicken Bowl (seasoned rice topped with grilled chicken, onions, peppers, cheddar jack cheese, chopped tomatoes and creamy Poblano sauce) as my main entrée. The main entrée comes with a side salad. The boneless chicken wings were good, but not great like I thought they would be. The wings came with pre-packaged blue cheese and all the buffalo sauce was at the bottom of the basket - weird. The curly fries were pretty awesome though (my only highlight of the night). Unfortunately, that's where the good food stopped for me. Here's my problem: I love Chipotle! And I love their Chicken Burrito Bowl. And if you're going to try to imitate it, you better make sure it's awesome or at least good. Unfortunately, their Chicken Bowl was completely bland!!! The rice tasted like Minute Rice and the chicken was just bland and awful. Yuck! \n\nWhile I understand this is a chain restaurant, they try to hard to compare themselves to other chains like Chili's, Applebee's, Chipotle but fall flat instead. Needless to say, I will not be coming back when I'm in Florida.",
"This restaurant supports the Tradewinds resorts so I can only assume they have a captive audience. Food, service and atmosphere were all bad. I am not sure how places like this survive. Ordered a mojito.... they used crushed ice and and ground the mint so fine... it looked like a spinach dip.... and drank like one too. Ordered the pretzel bun sliders and you had to really look to find the meat. Daughter ordered the chicken strips... freezer burned. I wont keep going. I guess if you have to eat here... do. But if you have any choice at all... don't.",
"First of all: the name is as tacky as the interior. That being said, \"Beef\" has average bar food and sub average service. \nOur waiter was quick to get us our drinks, but evidently didn't care to know what we wanted to order. Long after our menus were down, our waiter remained behind the bar on his phone, intermittently checking ESPN on one of \"Beef's\" many TVs. We had to call him over, as it seemed he wasn't about ready to get off his phone any time soon.\nThe food is average. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap which, frankly, was very ordinary for an extraordinary price. The Fries are plain; the taste reminiscent of frozen Fries.",
"Just finished a meal here. It wasn't the way you want to start vacation or your first stay at a resort. Our group of 10 waited more than an hour to get our order, and them we waited another 25 minutes or so to get the remaining two meals. This is a double-property resort that should know how to serve large groups efficiently during peak times. These weren't complicated orders - standard burgers, etc. A manager offered to comp the two meals, and I asked for more because our entire group had to wait for no apparent reason. It took another 20+ minutes to get our boxes and our bill. Perhaps we need to consider off-site options. We would've saved time, it seems.",
"Food was ok but service was terrible. Management team needs a class on conflict resolution and customer service...",
"Buffalo chicken sandwich was awesome. Hot dogs were terrible. Wait staff is slow even for beach front standards. Drinks are $$$ and not amazing. Bucket of beer specials are ok though. We will check out other places nearby next time - not amazing by any stretch of the imagination.",
"The food is decent but the service is slow. When I asked for service, no one came to the table. All of the food is overpriced.",
"Beefs is never been one of my favorite sports bars but staying at the tradewinds resort we decided to do lunch. Service was lacking. Especially in a resort like the tradewinds you would expect more. Burger was burnt to a crisp and fries where cold. Ditzy waitress was more interested in her hair then working. Wife's order came out wrong. Do not eat here."

"Well what can I say about this particular panda. I've been to plenty and this one is pretty big with lots of seating and the place was clean. Food was good but it normally is unless they don't rotate a fresh batch of whatever you pick. \nOverall good place for quick Chinese food since I still have yet to a tasty Chinese food spot, in the area. So this panda satisfies my craving.\n\nMy order was beef and broccoli and Orange chicken. Half fried rice and chow mein",
"I never thought I'd be writing a review for a Panda Express, but it has sincerely become my go-to Asian restaurant that a college student could afford in SB. All Panda Expresses are the same but I like how I always get $1 off for taking the phone/online survey when ordering a paw plate. $5.49 for a 3 item plate with non-premium entrees. Not too bad... Food for two meals.",
"SLOW.\n\nI know the shift changes and the people who work the front are changing all the time, but I ran into the worst front crew. They we're so slow, the line behind me ran 13 people long. I counted. Not making it up. To further justify what I'm saying, as opposed to a bunch of people just showing up at the same time, I can tell you that it took 4 separate scoops of friend rice before the quantity seemed right to this person's liking. Just a sample of why that line stacked up.",
"I usually like to eat panda but from the right places and make sure to go at the right time. This place was ok but if its not busy the food is not that worm, and the workers don't put much food ether.",
"Months later and things still have not improved. I have to change my order because two items are completely empty.",
"Love Panda, this location has serious management issues. 2 stars is a stretch, but when you do get the food it is good.\n\nEvery time I go, they never have adequate staffing and the staff always complain that they've been short-staffed all day.\n\nOne time I went in they had 2 options for entrees (orange chicken and something else) and everything else had a wait, and the line was to the door with about 15 people in line, which is what another reviewer mentioned as well as the posted pictures. And this has happened on multiple occasions. They seem to have 2 people cooking, 1 person washing dishes, and 1 person serving food (maybe 2).\n\nOne time there was a line to the door and only 1 poor girl to serve food while there was 1 girl and 1 cook sitting down at the table in clear sight. I understand they legally have to take their lunch, but don't do it in front of a line of customers who are watching you.\n\nI asked for one of the \"premium\" items one time that costs $1 more and they said its frozen and has to be \"prepared\" and would take at least 20 minutes...if I wanted to wait that long, I would have went to a sit-down restaurant.\n\nPlease review this place if you experience similar as they hopefully will make some changes.",
"Came here at 1120 , an hour and a half after they opened and they only had 3 dishes ready. They walked around leisurely while there were customers waiting, not even taking the time to acknowledge anybody. Waited an additional 20 mins to get my food . Absolute worst service ever",
"SO good! Not very healthy, but I can't resist the orange chicken, broccoli beef, and grilled teriyaki chicken (and this is coming from a Chinese girl!)\n\nHere's a tip: each time you order, complete the survey on the back of the receipt for a free entree next time you come. If you keep doing this you'll get an endless cycle of free entrees :)",
"They say they close at 10 but by 9 they only have chow mien, rice and deep fried leftovers.",
"How many ways can you say slow. Not just a little slow like TSA at the airport; I mean so slow you forgot what you ordered by the time they ask you to pay. Mystery meat and copious amounts of salt. In a single word BAD!"

"The Buffalo Fries are great! We got a regular size and they were big enough to fill up two people. Breadsticks were soft and flavorful as well. We got the buffalo chicken wrap and it was super fresh with romaine lettuce and cucumbers. Buffalo Spot is a great new flavor in main gate that is definitely worth checking out!",
"I was here on a Tuesday, so I ordered the Tuesday special of 5 boneless wings for $2.75. It took so long to get my order that they threw in five extra ones for free as consolation. I also had a strawberry shake. The wings were good. My main complaint is that the menu is misleading. It says that the wings come with dressing and veggie sticks if you request them. That implies that they are free, but actually the sticks were $1.49 and the dressing (which was bad) was $1.10.",
"Not bad but it gets 2 stars for its unremarkable wing flavors and high price point. There are many places you can find comparable/ better wings for a better price. \n\nNot coming back.",
"Not a very good first impression. The moment we went in the cashier was extremely rude and not very helpful. I understand it's busy (especially a new place) but she really couldn't handle the pressure. If she can't handle 3 people in her line in a more professional and friendly manner she should really consider moving positions. I also went to order a drink and before I could even tell her what I needed she automatically said \"we're not taking anymore orders right now\" (it's almost an hour and a half before closing) in a rude way and then proceeded to ask what I wanted. Wait time was okay and food was okay too except they literally forgot the Buffalo sauce on our wings. So went to a buffalo place and literally did not get any Buffalo sauce. Overall disappointed with the service and food (from what we had) was okay. I hope if we ever go back it's a better experience.",
"Great food. There's something magical about the crunchy chicken and fries combination. And the two sauces I tried were amazing. They were clean and fast. Great service. Will be back.",
"Tried the new Buffalo Spot. It is fantastic. The food is great. I'm already craving it again! And with a bunch of different sauces, there is something for everyone. For being open less than two weeks, my experience was smooth and pleasant. The employees were helpful and patient (especially considering my indecisiveness). I have no doubt the experience will only improve as they find their flow. If you haven't tried this yet, DO IT, DO IT NOW!!!",
"I stopped back to get the promised partial refund and free meal because of the screwup the previous time I ate here. This time I had onion rings, a vanilla shake and a full rack of ribs. Everything tasted good, service was fine, and it was all free. So now I like this place. Kudos to the manager for making it right.",
"I am originally from San Diego California, we have one back home and I can say that as a Californian I feel offended with this place. I did not have the fries because I am allergic to mayo and when I asked the cashier what the sauce was she couldn't tell. She was extremely rude and responded with attitude with everything I asked her. I also confused the 55c wings for Wednesday instead of Tuesday and I asked nicely and I got a rude ass response. Like they've mentioned before if you can't be friendly and professional you shouldn't work in a food work place. Specially when you have allergies and want to make sure you can enjoy a meal without dying, the cashier made me feel stupid for asking by the way she was looking at me and responding to me. Also food is overpriced and their wings are skinny and tasteless. To each their own but it wasn't my cup of tea, service is huge for me.",
"After the controversy shutting down the previous restaurant owned by ultra conservatives, the Buffalo Spot takes its place with a difficult challenge: dont be racist.\n\nWalking in I noticed a lot of posters of a chicken doing various things which I never really understood. Why do places have mascots of the type of animal you are primarily eating? Like pigs for places that serve pork or chicken for places like this. Why would a chicken advertise a place that prinarily serves chicken? Am I supposed to feel sympathy for them? Knowing that I am eating their kind? That's like if Panda Express served panda meat, or if Lucky Charms tasted like Leprechaun.\n\nAs far as the food goes, you have the option between wings, the famous buffalo fries, and salad (your vegetarian friend was not happy being dragged here). I went with the Buffalo Fries with the original sauce and the regular was enough food for two people. A great representation of the \"fries + more unhealthy shit\" genre, the flavors complimented themselves well and I felt guilty afterwards. Not guilty enough to not come back, of course.",
"Ordered a buffalo salad and when i got the order it only came with 4 tiny pieces of buffalo chicken. It was mostly lettuce!! So disappointed. I basically paid $8 for lettuce. Never coming here again!"

"It was so relaxing being here. The staff are extremely friendly and all of the cats are calm and social. I had a great time!",
"We lost our own cat to a sudden tragic accident a few weeks ago. Although we are not feeling ready to adopt yet, being around kitties was incredibly therapeutic. Unlike local shelters, these kitties are out in the open and able to roam, sit on our laps, get brushings, and try to sneak treats from everyone. The employees and owners are really personable and their altruism is evident in their obvious concern for the 12-15 cats they always have up for adoption. They don't pack the room with people in order to allow the cats to feel THEY are in control :) It is worth the nominal fee to sit with these animals and leave feeling more balanced. It's easy to chat with others in there if you are up for that as well, or just sit and have a cat on your lap and be quiet.\n\nAn added bonus is that they support another local business, Brasil Arts Cafe, across the street by allowing customers to order light items for delivery. I hope this locally-owned business thrives and people take a cat home.",
"My husband and I came yesterday and had a wonderful time. I really love what you are doing for these sweet kitties. Each has their own personality and will have an opportunity to get comfortable with people. I hope more and more people come visit CTSB and consider adopting the beauties they meet. Thank you and we'll definitely be back!!!",
"I absolutely love this place for many reasons. One, it's INCREDIBLY CLEAN. Like, immaculate. It makes you feel comfortable to lounge around the floor with the cats, sit in the chairs without having to wipe anything down. A little thing, but I enjoyed it! Two, THE CATS OBVIOUSLY. Three, the workers are very sweet and they are very kind and definitely contribute to a very therapeutic and fun atmosphere.\n\nI can't wait until they take in more cats and maybe let customers know where they can find toys and stuff for the kitties :) Other than that, a very affordable, very fun cat café :D",
"If I didn't live in Goleta, I would probably be there everyday. The place is so clean and the staff are sweet. I wish I could give more stars!",
"Came here for my birthday and honestly had a blast! Super relaxing atmosphere and lots of very sweet cats. The staff are all very helpful and nice! My first cat cafe experience and it definitely has set the bar high! Can't wait to go again.",
"What a great place! I didn't actually go inside as they were closed but I watched the cats from outside the window for about 15 minutes. We happened to run into this cat cafe as we were heading back to the car in the nearby parking lot. Two adorable cats came up to me by the door and were just the sweetest little things. \n\nThe next day I stopped by again to sneak another peek at all the kitties. This time it was open but you do need to make a reservation before coming in. This keeps a surge of people from coming in and ensures they maintain a relaxed and comfortable environment for the cats. \n\nWhat an great concept! Lounge and play with cats while you linger over coffee, refreshing beverages and light bites. The cats get socialization and companionship and potential owners can play and interact with the kitties before adopting. Of course you can just come in to visit and spend some quality time with some cool feline friends. \n\nI will have to make a reservation next time I'm in SB. I've heard wonderful things about this place and I can't wait to visit.",
"Wonderful in every way. The hosts are warm and responsive. The kitties are amazingly trusting and interactive. The setting is comfortable and inviting. The coffee is yummy, and the other guests create a shared experience of wonder and delight. This place is relaxing, and fun. A great asset to the Santa Barbara community.",
"Just like the Cat Cafe in LA, Cat Therapy is a place where hoomans can come to relax, have some coffee, smoothies, or juice. The funds they make go towards taking care, and helping the cats find their Furever homes, it's on upper State St behind McDonald's, it's a very relaxing place, the staff is really great and friendly. If your ever need a place to relax and play with cats, come here and chill and adopt a cat!",
"Who would not love spending an hour in cat heaven, which is what the Cat Therapy Cafe is? They have the most wonderful cats there and all are up for adoption so they are doing a marvelous service as well. They must have chosen extra friendly, loving kitties as all were happy to have pets and attention. My friend and I also enjoyed a latte and a juice drink while we lounged with the cats. I might add as well that this is a lovely space for the kitties with big windows everywhere and lots of places to climb and hide in. My friend and I left there elated for the rest of the day--hence, real cat therapy is happening and the cafe is aptly named."

"The first time I went to 131, I was more or less apathetic. Maybe I was having a bad day, maybe I wasn't super thrilled with what I got, but my parents kept going back over and over again. I had to be missing something.\n\nThe ambiance is pretty relaxed, the people who work there are all friendly, and the average patron doesn't make me want to rip my hair out. Major points on the last one.\n\nI've been back twice in the last month or so. And I'm glad. They start off meals with fresh warm bread (served in a big beer mug of all things). One time, we even got some fancy spreads to go with it (I remember a roasted red pepper hummus that was yum, and some kind of pate... that never was my cup of tea). I always opt for a salad to start with. It's nothing too special in terms of veggies, but the mango vinaigrette is always interesting.\n\nMain courses - the prime rib is perfect. Perfectly prepared, and spot on. The entree that really got me sounds a little overworked and maybe a little pretentious in the land of Outback and Carabbas, but it was so worth ordering - pan roasted herb chicken breast. It came with sweet peppers, tomatoes & garlic with grilled romaine, crispy potatoes & red-wine pan jus. I was never big on grilled romaine until getting this. It all just felt \"right.\" Plus the chicken was super moist and flavorful.\n\nI'm always iffy about restaurant desserts but my brother decided he wanted crepes suzette. Out came the cart and portable stove thinger, the sugar, the alcohol, the fire... I know it's a little gimmicky, but the end result was so so good. I wish the fixed menu on Christmas allowed for that as an option so we could have had round 2!\n\nPricing is a little on the higher end, but they have an early-bird menu if that's more your style.",
"Wow! This place was so good we took family there the very next night. Wait staff was friendly and didn't abandon you but wasn't all over you either. Just right.\n\nAnd the food... The bread- hot and yummy. The appetizers were volcano shrimp and brie- so good. The salmon with garlic mash and spinach was wonderful. Night two was the crab cakes with cheesy grits and fresh vegetables and it did not disappoint. I was too full for dessert! That won't happen next time though...\n\nThere is also live music and dancing in the bar area which looked like fun but it never overpowered the dining area. Still not quite sure how they did that... \n\nI definitely recommend this place!",
"Impeccable service, great food and a relaxed ambiance all pointed to a wonderful dining experience. Bot the dozen oysters which turned out to be from Johnson's Farm in Tomales, Bay, Ca. plump and tasty, not like the Gulf Coast variety. The Potato Leek soup was perfectly balanced in texture and the Seafood pasta dish came with fresh chunks of Grouper,Salmon and Cod, bathed in a wonderful cream sauce. My friend's French Onion soup came with a pastry lid on top..same consistency as a croissant.\nWe splurged on Bananas Foster and the Sous Chef, Tim, came to our table. I like talking about caramelization with chefs and we had a fun conversation. Of course, this rich dessert made for crazy dreams later but it was so good.\nExcellent wine/beer selection, prices a bit high but a very nice place to go for a special dinner with friends.",
"We spend four months during the winter in Florida. Recently we purchased a winter home in Seminole. There are so many restaurants it is hard to pick which one to try. Grill 131 is on our list of favorites. We went last night to celebrate my 69th Birthday. The service was excellent and the food was perfect. Prime Rib, perfectly cooked and prepared, practically melted in your mouth. Wondeful atmosphere and service. As senior citizens we enjoy early bird menus for several reasons and theirs offers plenty of variety. Once our server found out it was my Birthday, our appetizer of NE Clam Chowder was on the house. Wonderful, relaxing upscale restaurant. Even though it was our first visit, we felt like regulars.\nGreat staff and great food. Can you ask for more from a restaurant?",
"This restaurant was superb! The french onion soup was excellent and the presentation was unbelievable. I definitely will go back next time I visit this area",
"the food was outstanding, and the service was good. Though it was when we were paying that we had a bit of an issue. We were given rude service after we presented our groupon. The waiter threw down our receipt and credit card after it was charged and said \"thanks\", then walked away. The 15% gratuity is automatically added to each bill, so im not sure why he was so angry and we definitely would have tipped well regardless. the rudeness was so unacceptable that we wont be back.",
"One of our favorites. Food and service outstanding. For best service ask for Paul. Onion soup unique.",
"After returning to the area in October, we made a point to go back to this restaurant since our previous visit was so great. We arrived early so it wasn't very busy. We both ordered prime rib off the early bird special. Everything was fine except after fighting with my prime rib trying to cut it and chew it, I gave up half way thorugh. I alerted the waitress that the meat was so tough I couldn't even cut through it. My wifes was just as tough. I have had similar experiences with prime rib in other restaurants and they always either comped part of the meal or replaced my meal with another entree. On this occasion, the waitress said she would tell the chef. Never heard back from the chef and was billed for the whole amount. Even a free glass of house wine might have displayed their real interest in customer satisfaction, but not here. Perhaps the waitress should have alerted management instead of the chef. I really don't enjoy having to complain when I go out to dinner, but with the cost of eating out these days, you should at least be able to consume your meal or not pay for it if you can't.\nWill we try this restaurant agin? Yyes we will, but we won't be ordering prime rib.",
"This is by far THE best food I have ever had. A little pricy, but still competitive with the big chains. Great atmosphere, and the service was impeccable. This is our new special occasion place.",
"If you have a reservation and you show up with 4 out of 6 people from your party, on time, why would you not get seated at your table? We had to wait for the rest of the party. Or so they told us. They made us sit at the cramped bar - the bar area server gave us the stink eye for not ordering drinks, and then they ended up seating us anyway before the rest of our party arrived. Lack of coordination and common sense on the part of hostess, service, and management. \n\nService: lame (a colleague asks about the \"Famous Ribs\" -- the server answers \"They're good -- they're pretty famous\".) Give me a break. How's that for originality? Plus: dude messed up 3 out of 6 drink orders. \n\nFood: not good. Chicken pate with Ritz crackers? I asked for a medium NY strip and it was super rare and super tough and fatty. \n\nThe live music was pretty funny. Dude standing with one of those telemarketer microphones and a keyboard loop. The old folks were lovin it. \n\nOverall the experience kind of felt like a joke. Sorry Spoto."

"Overall: \nStill working out some kinks, but we liked the simple approach and prices were reasonable!!\n\nOur visit to Mike's started off well...the atmosphere is simple and focused on a cowboy theme. They seem to have removed some tables after taking over from the last restaurant, which is a welcome change - it does not feel crowded or cramped. Also - inside and half of outside is all non-smoking!! Yay! Our server was great and very helpful.\n\nFood: \nWe liked the corn nuggets and chilli. The pulled pork sandwich and collards greens were also very good. Surprisingly the ribs were disappointing. Very rough and dry with not much flavor. We sent them back and were told the kitchen says that is the way they were supposed to be. After speaking to the manager (when he stopped by our table to ask how everything turned out) it seems that is NOT how the ribs are supposed to be and he encouraged us to try them another time...after he has time to speak to the kitchen.\n\nSeems like the management/owners are truly interested in making things right. MY replacement pulled pork sandwich was great!\n\nMusic:\nIf you like country music and dancing, they still have it here. We did not stay, but line dancing lessons were starting at 7:30 on a Thursday and they have live bands on occasion...probably weekends.\n\nGive Uncle Mike's a try.",
"We were excited to have another BBQ option in Plant City...you can never have too many good 'que joints. The booths are not big-guy friendly but they have plenty of tables. We ordered the smoked wing appetizer and they were very good.\nFor dinner I had the ribs and smoked sausage combo. They use a flavorful dry rub and clearly adhere to the \"hot & fast\" method for grilling the ribs instead of low and slow smoking, so the ribs are a little more on the tough and dry side and lack a strong smokey flavor which I personally prefer. Having said that, the ribs were meaty and tasty. I particularly like the fact that they come out \"dry\" (without sauce). BBQ meat should be able to stand on it's own without sauce. \nThe smoked sausage was excellent. You only get one side dish and no bread which is unusual, but the collard greens were perfect!\n\nHalf of the restaurant is a bar, and tonight they had live music, which made conversation difficult, but the music was good!\n\nOverall, a good experience. The prices are reasonable and the food was good. Not our favorite 'que in Plant City but good enough that we will be back.",
"Well, maybe they have some kinks to work out. Was going to give it a try but....first off, the hostess kept advising that tables needed to be bussed. Yet, we waited 15 minutes after being told to watch several staff standing around chit chatting with each other. Then the hostess began pulling her way to short denim shorts out of her crotch and butt to only proceed to wrap silverware. As we sat on the bench, we counted at minimum of 4 or 5 tables that appeared to be available. This is not Hooters yet the wait staff seem to be trying to give that image with their outfits. One waitress seemed to be walking in circles adjusting her top as large tattoos over her breasts kept protuding. Still no table....sorry folks seems you need some direction or management or this is going to be another mismanaged dining establishment that will fail at this location.",
"Was there for the all you can eat crab legs on a Weds. Night with our family from the UK. The waitress left a lot to be desired, the vegetarian options are extremely limited(as one might reasonably expect at a Smoke house,I know) but the crab legs-snow, not king, were great! The atmosphere was pleasant and all in all it was a good night.",
"If you want some good bbq check this place out. \n\n\nThis place has a dance floor and plenty of room to spread out. Pool tables and darts upstairs and a small dining room downstairs. \n\nFor you vegetarians out there they have a salad bar.\n\nMy evening consisted of pulled pork nachos & shrimp skews. \n\n1 to 5 rateings\n\nStaff= 5 (helpful and friendly thanks Gabby)\n\nClean=5 (they are busting tables and sweeping as they go)\n\nFood=5\n\nBar=4 (Full bar but out of some things tonight no biggie)\n\nThis is a no smoking establishment other than at the outdoor tables.\n\nGive this place a try it can't hurt you will fall in love.",
"I drive past here every day and finally decided to try it. We were welcomed by \"The Duke\" John Wayne as we walked in. Service was fast, friendly and very accommodating. The food tastes as good as homemade and the prices are amazing. Definitely will be back.",
"The ribs and sausage were tender and tasty. That is about it. Ordered baked beans. Don't bother. They tasted as though they microwaved some Van Camp's pork and beans. Ordered sweet cornbread. Had a good flavor, but the muffins were obviously old and reheated in the microwave. The waitress was friendly, but after bringing our order and asking about the food, and being informed the beans were not good--we didn't see her again until she brought the check. This changed our mind about ordering dessert. Although she was more than willing ultimate bring dessert and add to the bill.....this was our clue to cut our losses and run. I will admit we did arrive about 4 pm in a Sunday, but the food and service should be the same at all times.",
"First and last time here, they have no ribs at 1:20 in the afternoon. Forget the salad bar, if you want a awesome salad bar I suggest snellgroves. 1:45 Just left the worst meal I have ever had , a big mac meal would have been better.",
"Everyone bragged on this place, so I was excited to finally try it for Lunch. They didn't have ribs, so I ordered the short rib sandwich for 8.99 with fries. Barely could eat it, bread was soggy and fries were burnt. The meat had no flavor. My wife had chicken, pulled pork and greens for 9.50. The greens were canned, and the meat just tasted like smoke or liquid smoke. I was very disappointed. I showed the waitress my burnt fries, literally black and she said I'll let them know. No offer to replace them or anything. We barely ate, even McDonalds would have been better. Sad to say, but I won't be eating there again. I think it makes a nice bar but not a restaurant!",
"You kinda can guess how things will turn out when you walk in and theres no hostess to be found to seat you. \nFood was bland and for the quality its overpriced. Wouldn't recommend this place!"

"If you're looking for unique gourmet pizza, Black Rock Pizza is the place. Choose from either sweet Italian or Multi-grain crust (I always get the multi-grain) and one of the gourmet sauces (pesto, olive oil garlic, BBQ, Spicy Sicilian, or specialty Thai peanut) There are sandwiches and regular dinner items, but try the pizza.\n\nStart off with a house salad - it includes jicama and grape nut cereal .. the family salad will serve 4.\n\nMy favorites (copied from their website) :\n\nPesto Sauce -- Carlin Trend - Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Artichoke Hearts topped with Asiago Cheese and Sliced Almonds \n\nOlive-Oil Garlic -- Wild Rose - Thinly sliced Red Potatoes, Prosciutto, Green Onions, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Rosemary, Thyme, topped with Romano Cheese. (although the MT. Rose is a close 2nd place)\n\nSpicy Sicilian -- Cowboy Poetry - Smoked Tri-tip Strips, Bacon Chunks, Mushrooms, Jalapeo Peppers, Red Onions, Red Chili's peppers, topped with Asiago Cheese (Close 2nd is the Brush Fire, and the Spaghetti Western is awesome too )\n\nI have to admit, I've never had the BBQ sauce pizza, or the Specialty sauce pizzas, including Thai Peanut sauce pizzas.\n\nDesserts are home made - and delicious too. Don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table - this place is POPULAR.",
"I heard about this place in the January/Feb '08 issue of California AAA's Via magazine. We were in Reno after visiting the snow, and were in the mood for pizza. So, we took a 10 minute drive from Reno to neighboring Sparks. \n\nIt was easy to get to, just take US-395 Northbound and take the N McCarran exit after passing I-80. It's located in a little strip mall occupied by Starbucks, Chevron and a Raley's Supermarket, among other stores.\n\nThe place is great- reasonably-priced food that tastes great. We opted for a family salad instead of a traditional appetizer- and it easily served four. We went for their Desert Cobb salad, which was great. \n\nFor the pizzas, my wife and I chose to each get one 8\", instead of sharing a 12\". Two 8\" pizzas cost the same as one 12\", and we wanted to try different pizzas (so what if we lost the 13 sq. in. of pizza by getting two 8\" over one 12\"). I got the Cowboy Poetry pizza (Smoked Tri-tip Strips, Bacon Chunks, Mushrooms, Jalapeo Peppers, Red Onions, Red Chili's peppers, topped with Asiago Cheese) and my wife got one of the Pesto pizzas. Both were excellent. \n\nBecause of the sheer size of the salad, we couldn't finish the pizzas and had to each take the pizza halves back to the hotel (where we refrigerated it, reheated it and finished it as a yummy late night snack).",
"I think I mentioned wanting multi grain crust at least two or three times while we were ordering and when the pizza came I was convinced they had screwed up and given me extra bleached white doughy crust. But apparently there were a few grains in the dough if you looked close enough but it was the whitest \"multi grain\" I've ever seen! The toppings were alright, but not the fresh and flavorful toppings I love....overall I was not impressed. Oh and especially with the pitchers!\nMy friends ordered a pitcher because it was two dollars cheaper than getting two beers, but the pitcher was about the size of one beer mug!! We almost asked for one each with an accompanying straw...\nThis pizza just does not compare to a good wood fired pizza or even pizza I make at home.",
"I love, love, love Black Rock Pizza. This isn't the place if you are looking for typical pizza...my husband is Italian and calls it \"designer pizza.\" \n\nMy favorite pizza is the Pale Face, it has Asiago cheese and roasted pinenuts. Second is the Thai Yi Yo, a thai pizza with peanut sauce. I favor the multi-grain crust. I lalso ove the Salads here. You can get an 8\" pizza and a salad for two and have plenty of food. My favorites are the San Pedro, a rib eye steak salad with a mexican flair, and the Desert Springs, a spinach salad with prosciutto and pinenuts, LOTS of fresh garlic and topped with parmesan cheese.\n\nThere is a great beer and wine selection, with a glass of nice wine starting at $4.50. Desserts are all homemade, but I don't usually have room. I have taken home slices of the cheesecake, which vary according to the owner's and/or pastry chefs mood. It was divine!",
"I had heard such great things about Black Rock Pizza from several friends of mine. After going there myself, I would definitely have to agree.\nMy boyfriend and I were torn between 4 different pizzas, and finally decided to get two 8\" inch pizzas and an appetizer.\nFor the appetizer we got the stuffed knobs - mushrooms filled with a smooth mix of smokey cheese and other wonderful flavors. They melted in my mouth and were the most delicious mushrooms I've ever had.\nFor the pizza, we ordered the Cowboy Poetry and the Brush Fire (both of these are with the Spicy Sicilian sauce (which is basically a regular pizza sauce.) I preferred the cowboy poetry over the brush fire, but both were very good. The only reason the brush fire was second is because the jalapenos were a little too strong for me and I think that the steak on the cowboy added a bit more complexity to the taste.\nThis is a little bit more expensive than your typical pizza place, but you also get so much more than the typical pizza place. The regular old pepperoni and cheese pizza is not on the menu (unless you choose to build your own), but there is no reason you would want that plain old pizza when there are so many wonderful combinations already made up for you.",
"I am usually a VERY picky eater, but not where I go here. My husband was afraid to take me here, as normally my favorite pizza is pepperoni! But, here it is different. The pizza's are gormet, and you to get the whole experiance you just cant be picky! I have yet to try a pizza (or appitizer) here that I dont like. My 3 favorites:\n\nRazorback- Pork Shoulder, Smoked for 20 Hours Until it is Falling Off the Bone, Pulled and Topped with a few Green Onions. (made with bbq sause).\n\nCowboy Poetry- Smoked Tri-tip Strips, Bacon Chunks, Mushrooms, Jalapeño Peppers, Red Onions topped with Asiago Cheese (a bit spicy!!! Has spicy red sause)\n\nSpagetti Western- Pepperoni, Hickory Bacon Chunks, Turkey Sausage and Smoked Tri-tip Steak Strips topped with Green Onions and Asiago Cheese (best for a picky eater...you can't go wrong!)",
"This is definately a place to seek out. I've been going here for lunch & dinner pretty much since they opened, and have yet to have a bad meal. Not only are the pizzas delicious, the sandwiches tasty, the salads bountiful, but the desserts are to die for. Go, become a regular, and join the points club. They regularly send coupon and promotions, and desserts are even sweeter when they're free.",
"Good pizza ... better at Peluso's in Truckee and Kings Beach and especially at Fiamma in Tahoe City. The gorgonzola carmelized onion pizza there is orgasmic!",
"Very good. The pizzas are quite creative here, with varieties that you would not find in a typical pizza place. They are also reasonably priced, especially for the quality of the ingredients. Both pizza crusts are very good. As well, the salads are excellent and feature homemade dressings (they sell them by the bottle). The best was the raspberry dressing. The appetizers are also quite good. The only complaint was a waiter who messed up our coupon for a free appetizer. At first he said that he couldn't refund our check, but later did. It was a long delay that probably was unnecessary. It might have just been this server. Overall, a great food experience.",
"Creative and delicious!\n\nI have yet to eat a piece of pizza that remotely tastes as amazing as the pizzas served at Black Rock. Whether you live in the Reno/Tahoe area or are visiting the area, this is a place that you have to try at least once.\n\nMy personal favorite pizza is the Chicken Springs. Your taste buds won't know what hit them when you indulge in the variety of toppings including: char-broiled chicken, dried cranberries, celery, mushrooms, red bell peppers, pepperoncini, sage, pumpkin seeds with a olive oil/garlic sauce topped with Romano cheese.\n\nThey use fresh and quality ingredients which is a plus in my book. I have yet to try the desserts, but they are homemade and judging by the menu and variety, your sweet tooth will be in for a real treat."

"First time in....\nThey are a chain...or at least around this area.\nBreakfast foods eggs of all sorts...\nBenedict, Florentine with crab or salmon...omelets too...and all your breakfast desires...\nFrench toast.pancakes. .yum.\nnice assortment of hot or cold sandwiches. \nthere were 5 soups to choose from\nSalads...Greek, country, Cajun. And a few more.\nBurgers, wraps and pitas.\nWhat a great little cafe...\nThey were friendly and attentive.\nFood was fresh. ...priced right.\n\nNeat and clean... ..\nNice place to meet for a meeting or interviews.\n\nGreat location too!",
"Great spot! Quick , friendly and fresh food! I had the Granny Smith chicken salad platter and it was delicious. All the sandwiches that came out looked awesome! Will definitely go back!",
"Friendy staff, but I don't go out to eat reheated food. If a restaurant can't prepare breakfast to order there is a real problem. Hash-brown potatoes that look like they would have been good a day or two ago and a cold omelet is inexcusable. Id have been happier with something from wawa. Breakfast is not worth going out for unless it's really good, and this place makes me want to stay in bed.",
"I've been to the Nudy's on Route 30 in Frazer and this new one in Chadds Ford doesn't seem to be as good. Service was scattershot and the food didn't seem as hot and fresh as I'm used to at Nudy's. I also think the prices are a bit steep for what is delivered. A breakfast sandwich on toast for $6.00 seems high. Also a $2.00 surcharge for maple syrup is kinda lame. Paid $20 for a basic breakfast. Since this is a new location I'll give it another try.",
"Food is great! Friendly service. Clean! I suggest French Toast! You do not even need syrup. So good :). Quick seating.",
"Plenty of parking. Clean. Friendly. Great prices great food. There were many servers. I had cheeseburger . So many fries I could not finish",
"They're probably dealing with some growing pains, but our first visit with our family was a bit of a fail. Took forever to get my wife a cup of coffee. Our waitress was kind but clearly overwhelmed and not keeping up with the needs of her tables. Seemed understaffed for a weekend. Food was just ok.",
"Had had breakfast here this morning with two friends and enjoyed it very much. The place was about half full, but The service was quick and friendly. We had French toast, lobster eggs Benedict, and eggs w/ home fries and toast. All 3 meals were service timely and hot! Our server was attentive and we never had to look for coffee refills or anything. Will most definitely return here for breakfast again.",
"Breakfast is great and the portions are huge. The Reuben was done to perfection and their fries are great. This is one of those great breakfast and lunch places, and the food comes out really quick. They make all of these specialty cake french toast recipes that are out of this world. Cake made into french toast - yes please.",
"Nudy's was \"okay\". Do not get the crab benedict, it was awful. French Toast was wonderful and the omelets were good. That crab benedict was inedible and knocked two stars off by itself. The home fries were relatively bland, but decent with some added salt and pepper."

"A surprising little Chinese/Japanese gem in downtown Haddon Heights. Just opened recently and we figured we give it a shot. It's very difficult to get decent Chinese/Japanese w/out having to drive into Philly or Cherry Hill/Mt Holly area. We ordered soft shell crab (Thai style) appetizer, miso soup, hot and sour soup, Singapore mai fun, and curry chicken. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Albeit those who find onions to be less palatable may think the curry chicken went long on them, but I didn't mind. Will definitely revisit to try their Japanese selection.",
"The food was delicious. I ordered the hot and sour soup and it was the best I've ever had. The ingredients were very fresh especially the vegetables. delivery was on time.",
"Update - 18 Sep 15 - we went back and tried the Japanese side of the menu: sweet dragon roll, Cali roll, spider roll, and dynamite roll - still 5 stars! We also grabbed some scallion pancakes, tempura vegetable, and egg rolls w/ our friends. None left; love these guys! \n\nA surprising little Chinese/Japanese gem in downtown Haddon Heights.

"Ate here once. We were very happy with the food. Very fresh. Nice person who took our order. Will go back",
"what a nice surprise - this replaced a little take out Chinese restaurant that was not very good at all. we didn't know what to expect, but one night stopped in on a bit of a whim. we were thinking we'd do take out since that was what was there before, but they updated the space to be a very nice sit down establishment. the night we were there there were only a couple other tables filled so it was very quiet and we basically had their undivided attention. \n\nthe food was excellent with generous portions, delicious flavors, and beautiful presentation. the servers were all very nice and attentive. we only tried the chinese portion of the menu so i can't speak about the sushi, etc.\n\noverall, we were very pleased and definitely plan to spread the word and go back to try more of the menu.\n\nHighly recommended!!!",
"Find this place!\n\nWe always try new restaurants that open in our area and this was the latest one we tried. And we have been back several times because of the food. \nIt has all of your typical Chinese restaurant items, but all with their own personal touch. The vegetable fried rice was the best ever. It was not greasy and was loaded with veggies. Likewise with their soups- they have more ingredients and better taste than the usual offerings. The fried items that use a tempura batter are light and not oily, unlike some of the thick and bread like coatings at other places. \nThey also offer sushi but since we're not fans, I can't offer an opinion. But the real differentiating options are the fish, seafood and chefs specials. You will have a hard time deciding between all the choices. There are many unique items that you won't find elsewhere. \nThey have been open for several months but the dine in area is still slow. The good news is that you won't have to wait for a seat. But once the word gets around, that should change. \nUsually there are plus and minus issues with new restaurants, but this was a very pleasant surprise with no negatives. The only small caveat is that some of their unique dishes that are served in house are not served the same way for takeout. So be sure to check. Also, they now offer smaller portions for their side dishes. \nSo go find this spot the next time you crave Asian food. You won't be sorry b",
"I don't like to pass one bad experience on to a Yelp review so if I have a not so great meal somewhere, I'll let it slide and chalk it up to a bad night. I've ordered delivery from here 3 times and each time it has been a less than great meal. The first time, I ordered the sauteed soft shell crap app ( it comes fried or sauteed) as well as the grilled octopus app. Octopus is not bad but they serve it on a bed of capers and lettuce. Capers are very salty and that renders the octopus salty to a point that makes it difficult to eat. Not sure what the point of sauteing the crab is when it's covered in batter. For an entree I decided to play it safe and ordered something I haven't ordered in a long time; Dragon and Phoenix. The chicken was tough and stringy. I had to bail on them. The shrimp was sauced to the brim of the takeout container. I actually thought it was soup when I first pulled the order out of the bag.I ate one shrimp and tossed it. Not a winner but I thought maybe I just picked the wrong thing. The second time I ordered, I thought I'd shoot for some lighter seafood fare so I ordered the black pepper scallops which the menu says is sauteed with black pepper in a spicy onion sauce. What I got was a soggy dripping mess. I guess the scallops WERE sauteed, but not before they had been drenched in some goopy batter that sort of melted off the scallops and mixed with the \"spicy onion sauce\" . I threw it out. Tonight was the last straw. They now have some grilled fish options on the menu and I wanted fish so I thought I'd give it a shot. I even called and asked to make sure that it was exactly as described on the menu. I ordered that and the octopus app ( again...I know, but I love octopus and I'm willing to power past the capers and also I really want to like it!). as well as the grilled calamari app. The owner told me it would be about 40 minutes. An hour an twenty minutes later my food finally arrived. It was all cold. I opened up the container containing my grilled fish ($11.95) and it's an anemic looking fish fillet that is about the size of those $3.00 fillets I get at Thriftway. I know food has to be marked up but this was not a value meal for sure. The octopus was the usual, and yes, it's my own damn fault. It will taste better after it's been in the fridge for a while and I'm rooting through it for a late night vodka snack. The grilled calamari wasn't just room temperature cold. It was COLD cold! I tried it but it was not very good. Hardly any charring at all and it tasted somewhat undercooked. Also, it was lacking any real flavor. If you read my other reviews, you'll see that I'm more of a positive reviewer. However, if I'm already somewhat wary, having had two less than good experiences, and then I have to wait almost an hour and a half ,to be disappointed yet again, I'm saying something. I called the owner to tell her how poor the service and the food was and she, of course, said she was sorry. She offered me a vague credit for \"next time\" but if she really stood by her food and service then she should have done more, ESPECIALLY since I had complained to them about meal # 2's scallops. I was offered a credit then too. Funny how it never came up again....or not. I see that there are a number of good reviews here so I'm not worried that my bad report will affect their business and I hope it doesn't. But I will have to look elsewhere for my next Asian food fix. I miss Han Dynasty.",
"You probably already know that it is easy to find a delivery Chinese place, but honestly, each one seems just like the next. That's why we were pleasantly surprised when we ordered from here. We only ordered a few dishes, but what we got tasted good and we were impressed. I was especially glad to see that their fried rice was not the unfortunate normal orangey-yellow, dried out fried rice, but instead had a really good taste and looked good too. I ordered sesame tofu and it was delicious and well cooked. The wonton soup was also very flavorful. I'll update my review when we order again in the future.",
"Excellent food and service. Dine in BYOB, pick up or delivery. Classic dishes fresh and delicious. Very clean and authentic in a nice friendly town.",
"I've had such a hard time finding Chinese food that I like how that I've moved to Runnemede... My mom told me about this place and we have it a try. Prices are a little bit higher but so worth it. We loved everything we ordered. Cucumber roll, Chinese pizza, chicken and broccoli and the pineapple chicken. Everything tastes fresh.. Great flavor.. We will be back."

"3 of us came in around six pm on a Thursday we where quickly seated. I ordered six piece wings with tots. The wings where hot as well as the tots. Everything tasted excellent. The server Natasha was very nice and attentive. The manager was nice as well he took the time to come over and speak with us. This place is a hidden gem you will be disappointed if you don't give it a try. Oh yeah if you need a place to watch the game, fight, etc this is the spot!!",
"Great service and the beer is cold and food is awesome and prices are good. Staff is friendly and helpful.",
"A Sport Lovers Dream!\n\nThe boneless wings, 20 fat and juicy ones, came hot and spicy. Half were lemon pepper dry rub that was both tangy and had a nice bite to them. Half were a saucy Caribbean Jerk that unlike many had a subtle smoky flavor that brings the islands here to Tampa.\n\nTry it! Go see your new best friends and then you will have an outstanding day!",
"Words can't describe how exceptional my experience was at North 30th sports pub and grill. I was in town for work so I came alone, but they immediately made me feel like I was surrounded by old friends. Their well-trained staff greeted me right away, and asked me how I was doing several times, but never overbearing. I had the pepperoni and cheese pizza, which happened to be phenomenal. The bread tasted a little too healthy for my taste, but you could tell they used real cheese and fresh pepperoni. The entire staff made me feel like family, the servers, the manager(Iris) even the owners! One of the owners(Elie) was seated at the bar next to me and he saw that I was alone. He brought me into the conversation several times and even included ME when he bought everyone a round of Aftershock!!!!! I really can't say enough about this place....if you haven't been there you are really missing out. Stop reading this and go! Now!!!",
"While I knew that Show-Me's discontinued in Tampa Bay around the end of 2016, I did not know that their former location near USF had rebooted as a new business until recently.\n\nI believe the Show-Me's in Citrus Park is still dark, but this was their new location until they closed their doors at both spots and everything in here was basically brand new when they did so.\n\nNow, the doors are open again and while I'm not sure if the official name is North 30th or actually North 30, there's some good things happening here with new ownership and management. (A check of a business card makes it look like North 30th based on the email address of the manager)\n\nWithin just 15 minutes of sitting down here on a very busy Saturday night, a manager came over to greet me and made me feel welcome. They had just gotten hammered in the previous hour or so with not one, but two, separate parties of 40 people and did not want me to feel ignored.\n\nNot only did he make me feel appreciated, but at least three of the pretty girls working here also did the same thing and kept stopping by to check on me. Tatyana was one of them and I apologize as I never caught the name of the other two ladies.\n\nI respected the chaos that came with multiple parties of 40 people and it did not help matters that it appeared that the party closest to me wanted separate checks. I counted no less than 14 different checks as everyone left. That isn't an easy thing to handle and the server most responsible for that table sure looked like she was doing a very professional job handling it.\n\nAlso, some guy in that party of 40 seemed miffed that he couldn't get his uneaten fries, which he was now holding in a common takeout box, thrown back into the deep fryer before leaving to go home. Apparently, the manager said no to that request and I agree it was unreasonable because clearly they had been sitting out on the table for awhile. You want new, hot, crisp fries to take home, place another order of them before you leave, sir.\n\nThe three biggest reasons I frequented Show-Me's was their very inexpensive prices on drinks, more TV's that virtually any other fast casual restaurant in the area other than Duffy's, and they know how to make a proper order of the greatest appetizer in the Midwest: Toasted Ravioli.\n\nThose three factors are all still part of the new concept, so I'll definitely return for all three in future visits.\n\nNow...about that creepy mannequin on display in the glass case just to the right of the restrooms...who the heck's bright idea was that? I have a feeling that won't be there much longer.",
"Great servers. Good food. Lots of tvs and they are happy to change channels to your home team.",
"My wife and I saw a voucher for this place and were craving wings so we decided to give it a try. \n\nThe building, indoors and out, is very clean and well kept. A great abundance of televisions on the inside, plenty of different sporting events on to choose from. I believe the location was briefly a Show Me's before becoming North 30th. \n\nThere are hostesses waiting right inside to greet and seat you, the wait staff takes over after that, all of whom were quite friendly. It seemed that our waitress was newer, as the manager (owner maybe) came to check on us just as much as she did, he was quite friendly also. \n\nThe draft beer selection was extensive, offering a variety of imports, domestics, and craft brews. They have some drink specials throughout the week, but not many food specials (though I'm just going by the flyer I saw, there was a board with specials that I didn't get to take a look at). \n\nWe thought the wings were a bit pricy at $1 each, but once we got our food and saw how large they were, we both agreed they were worth it. My wife got a wing combo which came with plenty of tater tots and celery as well. \n\nFriendly service, great beer selection, good food, tons of sports on, we will definitely be back.",
"First time visiting this place. What a gem! Service was awesome. Jenna, our server, was very attentive. Great prices and great food! $3 craft beers on Saturdays. Will definitely go back!",
"This is a very nice place with indoor and outdoor places to eat or meet with a group. Service was good, bathrooms clean. There are pool tables and TVS everywhere. The wings are outstanding and come in a variety of flavors. I especially liked the garlic ones. The nachos were also very good. Gumbo was good, but spicy hot. Prices are reasonable.Plenty of parking spaces.They were very accommodating for our large group of about 30.\nThey have Karaoke and the music is a little loud. I was there July 21, and had no issues. I would go back there for sure.",
"I've been here twice now and both times the food was better than I expected. I just had a burger, but considering how often other places cook burgers to the wrong temperature or otherwise screw up such a simple meal, getting it right consistently matters. Plus, both people I was with made a point to mention how good their wings and sandwich were. The servers were also very attentive both times. The place was relatively slow during lunch each time, but that's not a bad thing from a customer perspective and it's probably just because there are sooo many restaurants in the area and this one is relatively new. Lastly, in my book anyplace with a pool table gets bonus points."

"If you are a Havertonian fan of Chinese food, you probably have your favorite spot. Szechuan Hill, Lei Lei, Hibachi, Dragon, Sampan - there are many to chose from. Every once in a while, a new contender pops in and your loyalty may waver for a bit, but I will bet you a couple of egg rolls that you eventually return to your roots. Szechuan Hill is that place for us. \n\nAs newlyweds, we had a nearby apartment and SH was our spot for Chinese - eat in or take out. In the 20 some years since, we've moved around, tried many alternatives. Still, when in H'Town (where we live now) we would rather pick up at SH than get delivery from anywhere else. \n\nThe food is darn good and exactly what you would expect from a restaurant of its genre and era. We play it safe here - pork, chicken, veggie - occasionally some beef or shrimp. Last night, we had the Chicken Chow Mien, Sesame Chicken, Tai Chin Beef, soup, egg rolls, dumplings, noodles and fried rice all for under $40. \n\nThe menu mainstays are always well prepared, generous and in our experience, never subject to the pitfalls of poorly executed Chinese cuisine. Service is fine, decor is traditional and the food keeps us coming back.",
"Dined with friends last night. We ordered the tofu General Tso's, vegetable lomein, spring rolls, cheese wontons, egg drop soup, sweet & sour shrimp, the equivalent of General Tso's Shrimp, shrimp with broccoli and yet another shrimp and broccoli dinner, I think it had cashews on top. Can you tell it was a Friday night during Lent?\nEvery dish was promptly served and very hot, however, our waitress seemed a bit inexperienced, but very nice and wanted to get our order correct!\n\nOf course, will always go back to this local favorite spot.\n\nBYOB too!",
"Upscale and fancy are the two words that you'll never see in the same sentence with this restaurant's name. What you will hear consistently is how good the food is.... I stop in here 2-3 times per month. The ladies that work here are very nice, welcoming, and helpful. The food is always hot and tasty. I've never had a disappointing meal here. The lunch specials are reasonably priced, and the meal size is usually more than you can eat at the time. When I'm passing through, I always search for more Chinese restaurants, but always wind up pulling into this lot. Its really meal good enough to tell someone about.",
"What does a family of three do after arriving home a day early from their shore vacation thanks to hurricane Irene? Go straight to Drexel Hill for fine Chinese food, of course. We usually go to Samuri Steak House a few doors down and strangely, we never dined at Szechuan Hill before. \n\nThe wonton soup had three wontons in the cup instead of the usual two at other restaurants. I ordered the garlic chicken platter. Granted, the menu indicated one pepper's worth of spiciness and I thought, sure, I'm game. Well, Holy Toledo, batman! My sinuses are still scarred two days later. Okay, not really, but that was not expected! The egg roll was crisp on the outside and not at all greasy.\n\nMy son approved of the egg foo young and my husband had moo shoo beef. The portions were generous and arrived relatively quickly after ordering. \n\nAs someone who often finds Chinese restaurants kind of dark and claustrophobia-inducing, I appreciated the bright decor and high ceilings. Not particularly high-end, but aesthetically pleasing nonetheless.\n\nOverall, a nice place to go if you're in the area, but probably not worth traveling a great distance.",
"There are so many Chinese places in this area that a diner can afford to be picky. This place is just fine for take out but there is nothing that makes it stand out. If I'm driving by and in a hurry it will do. Ditto regarding eating in. \n\nIn either case if you take a very few minutes to drive to Lucky Dragon or Sampan in Havertown you will have a better experience.",
"I love this place and come at least once a month for lunch. I have been here twice for dinner but my husband doesn't particularly like it so we choose it as a dinner option. I usually come with my kids for lunch on Saturdays because it is our time together.\n\nI love coming here because they know what my kids and I like and always make sure that we have everything that we need. The place is a typical Chinese restaurant with take-out options but I always eat in. It iisn't very fancy but the decor is bright and there is always plenty of seating.\n\nI love the hot and sour soup here because it is flavored well and uses my favorite canned mushroom slices. I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with me but I grew up working in a Chinese restaurant and love Chinese take out food...lol.\n\nI usually get the Kung Pao Chicken or Garlic Chicken lunch specials. I love both because of the texture and crunch of the veggies. The Garlic Chicken does come spicy but I always add hot oil to everything I eat with this included. I LOVE spice!\n\nMy kids always get the hot and sour soup (which tells you that it isn't \"hot\" at all) but they love it. They also get the chicken skewers which are charbroiled and tasty. \n\nThe spring rolls are crunchy and have small shrimps within. Sometimes they are a little greasy but that is to be expected with fried food typically.\n\nService is great here. The guy that waits on us typically knows that I like hot oil and that my kids like extra cherries, so we are always well taken care of. The free hot tea and fried noodles are given to every table and we always enjoy it while waiting for our food.\n\nAll in all, not a fancy restaurant, but that's not why we come here. Food is fresh and delicious with good service...what more can a girl ask for?!",
"This place has been around for twenty (?) years. They must be doing something right! Predictable Chinese fare, but fast and happy service.",
"would say the best Chinese food in the area. The food is always fresh, my kids love the fried wonton and duck sauce. The string bean chicken for dinner is great, they hand string the beans every day in the dining room. It doesn't get much better.",
"Have been going here for years. One of the better Chinese restaurants around. Clean, bright, and food has always been good. Try the 310 chicken.",
"Clean and well lit, good food with great portions. My top choice for Chinese whenever I'm in the area. Spicy chicken with orange flavor is my fav."

"Our furnace went on New Years Eve. My wife and I were really stressing since we have a newborn in the house. I called a bunch of places and they were the only one that had a live person pick up. He told me that a tech can be there that day around noon. So I figured the tech would get there at noon or later. I was really shocked when the tech, Jason got there at 10am. Unfortunately I needed a new furnace. We also decided to get the A/C unit from them as well. (That went in Aug and was going to wait till spring to replace it). He gave me a competitive price and it was ordered that day. They installed the unit the following Monday. The techs, Tony and Mike got there around 8am to start removing the old unit. Jason got there later with the new one. They were all very professional, courteous, and efficient. I would recommend Fahrenheit to anyone.",
"Note: This is a long review, but with the cost of the work that you may be having done, I think it's worth the read.\n\nUpon arriving home last Sunday from a weekend away, we walked in to a house that was 93 degrees with the central air conditioning blowing hot air out of the vents. I turned everything off and hoped that the evaporator coil was just frozen up from being overworked since it was 103° the day before in Philadelphia. We left it off overnight, but when we turned the unit back on in the morning, discovered that it still wasn't working. I contacted JB Plumbing & Heating which was highly recommended on yelp in the Fishtown area and Mark told me that he didn't do AC work, but recommended Fahrenheit Climate Control to his customers.\n\nI called Fahrenheit and they sent their service technician Jason out that afternoon, accompanied by a young apprentice I later learned was the owner's son. I showed them to the deck where the outdoor unit is located and Jason instantly said that he knew that the compressor unit was shot. He told me that my Goodman condenser was a piece of crap and that they don't even make that unit anymore. He said that he thought that the unit wasn't under warranty because the serial number ended in 04, even though the builder that we bought the house from had only installed it the year before (2010).\n\nHe quoted me three options. 1) install a Hard Start Kit for $500 that could try to force the compressor to start up, but that was just a band-aid that could break again in a week; 2) Install a replacement compressor for $1800 but that he didn't trust Goodman products and there was no guarantee that it wouldn't break again in a year; and 3) to replace the outdoor compressor/condenser and the evaporator unit on the furnace for $3400 with a Carrier system with a 10 year warranty. At this point, I'll point out that he only took the side panel off of the outdoor unit and looked at the wires and listened to the sound of the machine.\n\nI paid them $99 for the service call which would be applied to the final amount of work that we paid them to do. He left and I set to work doing some research online. After a number of calls, I discovered that my compressor unit was, in fact, under warranty, so I called back and left a message with Bonnie at their office to have Jason call me with a quote for the work without the cost of the compressor unit.\n\nIt turns out that he did call me back that evening and left a message on my voicemail which I didn't discover until later the next day. In the mean time, the next morning, I called the office and spoke with a man named Farrell. I explained the situation to him and said that I needed a quote for labor and replacing the refrigerant, etc. He said that he'd have Jason call me back. Having received no response, I called the office again at 1:30 that afternoon and Bonnie assured me that she'd have Jason call me.\n\nWhen I got home from work late that afternoon, I found the voicemail Jason left the prior evening stating that the cost of the repair with the part under warranty was the $1800 that he quoted me the day before. I explained that he quoted me that price under the assumption that it was not, in fact, under warranty and that I thought the price should be much lower. He held firm and insisted that the cost of labor and flushing the lines and replacing the coolant added up to that sum.\n\nWe had a second opinion scheduled that same evening who immediately told me that the compressor would be under warranty and that the whole system didn't need to be replaced. He took the side panels and top off and tested everything with his meter to determine that the compressor was shot. He quoted us a price way below what Fahrenheit Climate Control insisted that the work should cost. He explained that he would get the part from the distributor and that the total for installation would be around $950 depending on the final credited cost of the part under warranty.\n\nJason, Bonnie, the apprentice & Farrell were all very courteous and took a lot of time to answer my questions. The miscommunication with the missed voicemail led to a day's worth of back and forth, but that's my fault. My low rating is based purely on the fact that I was quoted a price for the part not being under warranty but that when I pushed back, they said that wasn't the case. I feel like I was being taken advantage of.\n\nI learned a valuable lesson during this process: Ask a ton of questions and do as much research as possible. In doing so, I'm out the $99 that I paid for the service call, but I've saved almost $800.",
"Bennett, you are not alone, and in my opinion, from the experience I had with them, you have reason to think they were trying to take advantage of you. \n\nIn my case, my hot water was sporadic. Fahrenheit came out and the technician put Joe on the phone to tell me the cost of the spark board repair. He said it would be 1400 dollars. I said \"What, 1400 dollars?\" and then he said he'd give it to me for the price he charged their customers under contract, 1000 dollars, more or less 1100 with the tax I think it was. I thought to myself, first it's 1400, now a moment later it's 1000, hmmm . . . \n\nI was able to get the brother of my usual heating repair technician to come out, since my usual technician was not available. He replaced the board with the actual identical part, rather than just one off of the truck that was not an exact match, and he charged me $350, tax included. It's been a week and the hot water's fine now. \n\nI, like you, Bennett, am out for the $99 service call money. I didn't think I should have paid that money, actually, b/c I think the service call fee is based on a good faith estimate. I called them to tell them that and after a heated conversation where Joe wanted to talk at me and not with me, I said I would call him to tell him what I ended up paying. Joe said he didn't give a f#@$%k what I would end up paying, so that was the end of that conversation--I hung up while he was still ranting. \n\nIf you think it's good business practice trying to get 1400 for a job that my technician did in half an hour (Joe said it would take his guy a couple of hours), then call this company. \n\nAnother thing that rang a bell with your review was the disparaging of the equipment. He said that my Crown equipment was junk. I've never heard that before from any technician. They all say it's a very good system (after all, it's the Honeywell spark board that went, which presumably could happen on any equipment). Funny thing was, his own technician that was at my house said that he had just put in a Crown for his mother, I think it was, so if it was junk, his own technician apparently disagreed . . .",
"Do not use this company! unless you just want to give them all your money for replacing things that don't need replacing!",
"I was referred to this company after calling a 4.5 star company that I found on Yelp.\n\nI scheduled an appointment for 3pm - 5pm on a Friday. I was told they would call approximately 30 minutes before they arrived. Well at 5pm on a Friday, before I leave the country on Monday for 3 weeks, no one had called or shown up.\n\nA call to the company discovered they had entered all of my contact information incorrectly.\n\nThe were unable to accommodate my weekend schedule and refused to send anyone out today.\n\nNow I'm forced to pay emergency rates to get this resolved before I leave Monday morning. Will never call these guys again.",
"Although it seemed like they knew what they were doing, all of their prices were outrageous. He wanted to charge me several hundred dollars for a $30 thermostat.",
"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!\nLast winter my heater packed up. This was the only company who could come out the next day. Their serviceman said a switch was broken and it would cost $664 to replace. They also said I should sign up for their service maintenance which was another $400. He replaced the switch and serviced both my heaters and 15 minutes later I gave him $1064. It felt odd spending so much money for 15 minutes but it was the middle of December. \nI called them back to service my heaters 2 weeks ago. The serviceman Vinnie was extremely unprofessional, wanted to replace igniters on both heaters because they were old (even though they were working) and said a part needed to be replaced. All in all the cost was going tone $2200. When I did not sign up, their office manager Joe said he would charge $1800 and he would order the part right away. Vinnie said he would come out over the weekend and replace it. I was getting pretty fed up with Vinnie and wanted him out of my house. I told him to finish the servicing and I would think about it. He then walked around my kitchen and talked about my kitchen appliances and would not leave.\n\nI then called Bachmann HVAC in Jenkintown. They said the igniters did not have to be replaced and the part which Fahrenheit wanted to replace would only cost $500. When I showed him the bill from Fahrenheit from last year for the $664 switch he said that only cost $20. \n\nI am planning to report them to consumer protection services. If I was not so busy I would even take them to court. And I may just do that.\n\nRG",
"I noticed that my A/c was starting to fail the previous season. So in April I scheduled an appointmnet to have it checked.System was 15 yrs old and needed replacement. I didn't want to patch it and waste money so they sent the service manager Joe out, quoted a reasonable price of$10000.00 .I was able to negotiate it to a more suitable number I liked , allowing them their profit . The install of a complete system was completed and the service technician was very pleasant .I then call the service manager about my return system, he was kind enough to set up an appointment to come out. After they cancelled 2 times on the day of the appointments and wanted me to rearrange my schedule for the third try is when I decided I'll look elsewhere for my services.",
"I was recommended Fahrenheit Heating and Cooling for my furnace repair by JB Plumbing. These guys are rip off artists!! They came and cleaned my furnace and replaced parts worth ($200). The whole job took 2 hours and they charged me $1200. Don't use these guys unless you like to throw your money away!!",
"Can I leave negative stars? We're actually in the process of filing a complaint with the BBB for being swindled by Fahrenheit. Trust me it was as awful as others say. They installed a blower for the heater in our rental house, ended up wiring and mounting the blower incorrectly, and than never came back to fix the faulty repair. We scheduled 4 different appointment times to have them come back and they failed to show up all 4 times. We've tried to call multiple times to obtain some sort of refund and the company is basically ignoring our calls. We ended up having another company come out to fix their mess and still no calls from Farenheit. \n\nI cannot emphasize this enough- DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!!!\n\nIf the option is polar vortex and no heat or working with Fahrenheit- choose polar vortex.. Once again- GO ELSEWHERE!!\n\n\nUpdate: I responded to the owner's comment below and also asked for a refund if all receipts are provided. Lets see what happens..."

"Best fried chicken in Wilmington! Once you have Walt's you will not be returning to KFC or Popeye's anytime soon. Their skin is crispy, has the right spices and the meat is always tender and flavorful. The little rolls that come with the meal are so simple yet the perfect addition. Not a big fan of the gravy for the mashed potatoes but the greens, Mac & cheese and other sides are banging.",
"Delicious delicious chicken!! My favorite :)\nHighly recommend the potato salad.\nDon't recommend the coleslaw.\nBiscuits were average.\nOrder ahead cause they fry it fresh.",
"There really is no place to sit. And ambience is not it's high point. But this is by far the BEST fried chicken in Delaware. A brown paper of bag of 10 pieces of their fried dark chicken; sauce; plenty of napkins, a car with directions to Brandywine Park and you are minutes away from the best picnic ever.",
"Some of the best fried chicken north of the Mason-Dixon line.",
"Amazing fried chicken. Call ahead when possible, and take it with you. Sides are delicious, biscuits are good, and the desserts are great as well. I do a Walt's lunch for my homeroom every year to celebrate the end of the year and it is a huge fave for the students - they LOVE it. Great staff as well. You can't get better fried chicken then this in Delaware or PA, that's for sure.",
"Pretty good fried chicken, but could have been a bit more crispy on the outside. Flavorful, not too greasy and cooked all the way through (which is always a plus!). Greens tasted straight out the can, but mac and cheese was good and cheesy. Sweet potato pie was really good, but the banana pudding was by far the best of the two (but it was close!). They also had a very good selection of desserts, accept credit cards and have parking (but i just pulled up in front on the street). Overall, I would recommend the food, minus the greens, and will def be back again.",
"The best fried chicken! Try their sides! Collard greens, Mac and Cheese, ... They even have mini pies and bread pudding for dessert.",
"The parking can be a little tricky since it is in a residential area, the space is a little cramped, but the best chicken you will find outside of your own kitchen. I also like the potato salad and greens beans",
"Chicken was so good! Nice golden crisp and crunchy. Sides were stellar too. Had the collard greens and butter rice. I will definitely go back on my next visit.",
"So good! Best fried chicken I've ever had. The mac and cheese was good also. The mashed potatoes and gravy wasn't that great but I didn't care because the chicken was so good."

"Tried to come walk in for dinner. Completely empty restaurant, and they said they were full and couldn't seat us. Will try again next time we're in town and re-review if we decide to come back to try them. \n\nSeemed like a soft open and I understand if it's invite-only, but maybe the management should train their host staff to be friendly to patrons who inquire - especially if their door is unlocked and they look open. No need to be angry/rude to patrons for asking if you don't have any signage to indicate that it's a soft opening/reservation-only.",
"We enjoyed an amazing complimentary dinner tonight at Bluewater Grill which served as a training for the new staff and kitchen. Seeing that it was a training night we were prepared to wait and for glitches here and there, but surprisingly, things went remarkably well! \n\nSince the restaurant was packed before we arrived we were offered the option to wait for a table or sit at the bar. We had no problem sitting at the bar and were seated immediately. By \"the bar,\" we were actually seated around the open kitchen and had the pleasure of watching all the action! We got to see so many amazing entrees get prepared and served. We loved the show!\n\nBecause of the training, we pulled entree options out of a bowl, instead of ordering from the menu but our server was very accommodating if we pulled an option we didn't want. We all picked our free entrees and also got one free appetizer. In addition we were offered a free bowl of clam chowder!! This was a HUGE meal!! \n\nThe entrees did take quite a long time to arrive, but our server was extremely attentive and made sure we had enough warm sourdough bread, Cocktails and clam chowder. Not to mention, the ambience in the restaurant was amazing!! By the time our food arrived it hardly felt like a long wait. I'm confident once the staff finds their bearings they'll run like a well-oiled machine. \n\nOur favorites were the half and half clam chowder, the chicken and shrimp gumbo, the swordfish and the scalloped potatoes. We also really enjoyed the mai tais! \n\nWe're looking forward to returning for happy hour on their upstairs patio overlooking the ocean!!",
"Had dinner here tonight as an E-Crew Member, we got an email invite for a soft opening. As a long time E Crew member of Bluewater, this is a great location and addition to the restaurant family. Always a great time at Bluewater, servers are always friendly and fun, management always go out of their way for their guests, and the food is also just as good. Thank You Bluewater Grill for this new location. If you come visit, ask for the general manager, Colin, or the manager Gerry. Thank you to the Chef Channel as well! From the front door hostess to the end of our meal, overall it was a great experience.",
"What a beautiful Restaurant! \nThe food is good and fairly priced. \nThe location is amazing and the staff is friendly, this place is a great addition to our little town.\nWelcome to Santa Barbara",
"My friends and I partook in the training dinner that they had before their grand opening.\n\nThe restaurant looks very nice from the inside and out, the restroom was also comfortable but there's only one per sex. For a restaurant this massive, I think I was lucky to get the restroom without waiting in line. Restaurant was packed at 7:00 when we came in.\n\nWe received dishes based by taking paper slips out of a hat, we got the Sirloin, Swordfish, Salmon, and a pasta I can't remember but it was Pesto and Shrimp.\n\nWe had Ahi Poke and Manhattan chowder for appetizers and both of these were delicious.\n\nSam our server, was very nice and attentive to our needs. All of the servers/bussers/hosts were very nice and enthusiastic. When I started as a waiter I was enthusiastic too, that was easy to forget after a few months, I hope they can keep it up.\n\n\nIt took a while to get our main dishes out and my friend's salmon came out much later than everyone else's. There were a few issues but I'll let her write that side of the review if she ever wants to. It was busy so it's understandable that the food took so long to get out.\n\nMy Sirloin Steak was medium like I ordered it to be and juicy along with the scallop potatoes and asparagus that came with it. I have no complaints here, would have preferred if I was given a steak knife instead of using my butter knife.\n\nOverall a great experience at the restaurant The prices here are a bit on the higher side, I wouldn't mind coming here again but I'd have to be ready to spend a pretty penny.\n\nGet one of their candies on the way out.",
"Four of us were at the training dinner. Despite a great wait staff, it could not save the dinner; all four meals were bad. The steak ordered rare was grey and rubbery with a fake grill mark; the scallops with grits were inedible, grossly over-salted and bitter; the fish and chips was also highly oversalted --not just a little, but like the scallops, as if someone simply poured salt all over the dish. The salmon had a metallic, weird taste. Our very good waitress was at a disadvantage because the bar did not have our wine ready in a timely way (both the first and second bottles were very late, by the third it came on time.) They have a lot of work to do, and first they need new kitchen staff. I know it was just training for the real opening, but this there is more than one of these places and they should have their menu down by now.",
"Beautiful restaurant with great seafood. Two fun bars! One on the main floor and one up stairs with a view of the bay.",
"Amazing opening night. The food was amazing! In particular the calamari, sandabs, the spicy edamame, swordfish, wine selection and more! Gerry, the manager on duty exhibited incredible customer service. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Thank you for an amazing dinner!",
"Beautiful restaurant. Spicy edamame is my favorite. Ordered a cucumber mojito which was perfect. Our server Ricardo was very attentive and polite. All staff is very friendly.",
"This is a amazing newly opened seafood restaurant. The experience was great. Service was excellent. Being a seafood fanatic this really hit the spot on all of my taste buds. Will definitely be back soon."

"This is a solid neighborhood establishment serving good quality Japanese food covering all the usual suspects: sushi, tempura, teishoku and the like. \n\nMy family and I have been going to Wasabi for over a decade, from its earlier incarnation as a simple takeout sushi stand in a small shopping centre in Old Strathcona. Over the years, the quality of the food, the generous portions of nigiri and the homely service from the Japanese couple who own the place have not diminished. Deservedly so, this restaurant is consistently busy on Friday and Saturday evenings. \n\nTo be sure, you're not going to get cutting edge fusion Japanese, or haute cuisine from an Iron Chef, but Wasabi is consistent, friendly and has earned my loyalty for years of great sushi and friendly service. In my mind, this makes it stand out from the raft of new Japanese places that have popped up over the past decade in Edmonton. Try the beef tataki too... my favorite item on the menu!\n\nTake out available...",
"It is the best sushi restaurant in the city and the quality has always been high. I just wish we lived closer to an ocean so the couple who own the restaurant had access to fresher food!",
"Not impressed. Heard (and read) great things about this place, so decided I had to check it out. The night I went in was a Thursday, but it was completely packed. I guess these other people heard good things too. I had high expectations, but left disappointed. Why? Prices are on the high side and the food is bland and minimal. For the cost you'd expect either lots of food or high quality, and we got neither. Tiny portions and very average Japanese food. And service on this day was quite slow. Maybe I'll have to try again to give it another shot, but on this day, the food and the whole experience left much to be desired. I actually seriously prefer Banzai.",
"Actually real Japanese restaurant, superb quality over time (we've been coming since 2006). Construction in the neighbourhood wasn't doing them a favour, but they prevailed, hats off. Really love their personalized service and understated attitude. Expect none of the Albertan obscene portion sizes, it's for your own good. Best and most authentic sushi place in town.",
"I travel quite a bit for work and I always seek out the hole in the wall places that always seem to hit the mark. This is definitely one of them. The fish was fresh, the warm sake was warm, and the staff was friendly. I also had the pleasure of trying a grilled shrimp head instead of the usual fried. I am a fan!! The head had all the flavor with no grease. I will definitely return the next time I am in Edmonton!",
"This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Edmonton. I'm originally from Japan, and I can say with confidence that they serve \"authentic\" Japanese meals you would normally get in Japan. My favorite maki sushi is their special role that comes with crab, grapefruit, avocado etc. - very tasty! I also think their tempura is the best in town - crispy butter. I definitely recommend this place.",
"The best in the city. Surfclam tataki and sankai maki are amazing.",
"This is a great little place to go get some quality sushi!\nThe venue is small and fairly active, so you may want to call in advance to book a seat as it often gets full.\n\nThe sushi is delicious, and you can tell they care about the quality of the fish they are serving you. The food is always fresh and delivered within a reasonable amount of time. If you sit at the bar you can watch them make it right in front of you! \n\nThe price is decent and you get a good amount for what you pay for. They are never cheap with the size of their servings. \n\nThe service is top notch. It is a family run restaurant, and these people care about their customers. \n\nOverall, if you love Sushi, this is the place to go in Edmonton.\n\nTheir lunch hours are variable and they are always closed on Mondays, generally I go there for dinner for a safe bet that they will be open.",
"Fish tastes great and fresh, sushi and rolls well done. Dine in or take out. The restaurant is clean and small, like sushi places all over, they take reservations and have nice pleasant staff. For the best Sushi in Edmonton, go here.",
"Ok so by far this is the best Japanese food in the city. Not even close. It all starts with the amazing hot towels that you can clean your hands and face with. We have enjoyed every piece of Sushi we have eaten here. Very fresh and well prepared and your rice or fish are never served cold (big no no) and the wasabi is as fresh and as real as it gets. No coloured horseradish sauce here. It's the real thing. If you go once you'll crave it again and again."

"Italiano's is the REAL DEAL.\n\nDeep in the heart of South Philly, this place serves up some of the best water ice in the Philadelphia area. According to rumor, these guys pioneered the gelati - the decadent mix of water ice and ice cream. From what I understand, Rita's doesn't even have the rights to call it a gelati - instead they have to call it a gelato. The selection of flavors is simple - usually I opt for the lemon, and it's absolutely perfect. Tart, and not too sweet.\n\nI would agree with Marcello said - you can never really tell when it's open. But it's worth the trip.",
"Clearly, the best water ice EVER, in the UNIVERSE, hands down, no questions asked, and if anyone disagrees, then they don't know good water ice. I grew up in South Philly, on 9th and McClellan, and sure, there were other places to get water ice closer to the house, but we'd trek over to Italiano's because no one else's was quite as good (Pop's, however, is a very close second... I'll give them that). Now, years later, I live in South Jersey, and am not above driving all the way into the city to stop at Italiano's on a nice summer night. \n\nIt always hurts my heart a little bit when people get all excited over Rita's Water Ice, thinking it's the best in the world and that Rita's alone is the one place you can find a great gelati. WRONG. Go to the place that INVENTED the freakin gelati - Italiano's.",
"Hand's down the best water ice in the entire world. They have iced tea water ice. It's so amazing too. I like mixing it with lemon. The pink lemonade water ice is incredible too. The thing about Italiano's that is so good is that the consistency is incredible. There will not be one chunk of ice in your water ice. Anyone who likes Rita's will never want to get water ice there again after having Italiano's. They also invented the Gelati and are the reason everyone else in the city calls it a Gelato. They don't have the rights to call it a Gelati.",
"I grew up in south philly, and i adore this place. i will tell all my friends to frequent here, because it is the real deal when it comes to water ice (rita's pales in comparison). many of their water ices have real pieces of whatever the flavor is....e.g. the lemon has pieces of lemon in it....it is AMAZING. i recommend mixing the cherry water ice with vanilla ice cream....yummmm",
"I grew up in West Chester, just outside Philly. Whenever we made the journey into the city, it was no question that a stop to Geno's and Italiano's (if in the appropriate season) were on the day's agenda. We'd pull up to the parking spaces in front, always decorated with American flags.\n\nThis is the type of family shop where the owners know you by name and order. My dad? Brian, large pineapple. My brother? Patrick, large vanilla. As for me? Well, I would always stare in awe of the huge list of available flavors, but in the end I was usually Kathryn, small watermelon. As a child, I was always so amazed that mine had real chunks of watermelon. After mining through his Italian ice my Dad would give me some his chunks of golden pineapple, too.\n\nReturning here always reignites that childish excitement inside me. Even now I take a while to browse the long list of offered flavors, but usually wind up as Kat, medium mint chocolate chip and chocolate ice gelati.\n\n If you want water ice, go to Rita's. If you want Italian Ice and the original Gelati, come to Italiano's. You won't regret it.",
"They have ginger ale water ice. Enough said. Ok, I'll say more. This ice is so good and there's even chunk of frickin' fruit in it! Not bullshit fruit either, REAL FRUIT! I can't even hope to fully explain how good this stuff is. Just go. Get a large BTW because if you don't you'll regret not having more.",
"Italiano's closed for the season this past week. Every year, I find this to be a little disappointing, as it marks the end of summer and all of the memories that go along with it.\n\nGetting water ice and a pretzel from Italiano's is much more than just a good way to cool down on a hot summer day. It's a nostalgic catalyst, evoking memories of youth: celebrating the game-winning run in the Joe Fortuna Little League For Kids Who Can't Play Baseball Good, breathing a sigh of relief after a hellish school year, heading to my cousin's house so my friends could try to hook up with her friends.\n\nOf course, those of you who did not grow up in South Philly might not share such sentimentalities and would prefer practical reasons to choose Italiano's. No problem. It is cheaper -- but closely related to -- Pop's and exponentially better than the bastardization served at Rita's.",
"Don't even remember when I started going here. All I know is I come back annually for my large iced tea water ice and pretzel rods when it gets warm out.",
"Roadmap to Success in life:\n\nSunday Morning\n1. Wake Up.\n2. Eat breakfast.\n3. GO TO ITALIANOS AND GET WATER ICE AT 10:00 A.M. BECAUSE IT'S SO SCRUMPTIOUS AND WILL PUT YOU IN A GOOD MOOD FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 12 HOURS. \n\nGelati: \nIf you want to keep it real-ish and feel like you're doing your body good, get mango water ice and vanilla ice cream. This treat is justifiable: The mango water ice actually tastes like mangoes, not overly concentrated mango syrup typically paired with sticky rice found at greasy chopsticks joints.\n\nIf you want to indulge your sophisticated side, try vanilla water ice with coffee ice cream. It tastes much better than any of that frappuccino shit you get at _______. This concoction tastes like somebody smashed together equal parts sugar and vanilla and dumped it over frozen creamy coffee. You'll feel mature eating it, but you'll probably get brain freeze. Irony. Enjoy it.\n\n Plain Water Ice:\nAmaretto. It's pretty amazing that amaretto water ice tastes like amaretto cream without any actual cream in the water...ice. I bet this is like whatever Alice came across in Wonderland that kept making her DRINK ME even after growing and shrinking. It's that good. Promise.",
"Buy the Pina Colada ice cream, then head back to your stoop, add rum and enjoy!\nI've always been a huge Pop's fan, but was told that I had to get to Italianos because they were the best - and hell, they invented the Gelati! So, last week, my sister was down to visit and she brought over some bacardi, but forgot the pina colada mix. I took this as the perfect opportunity to suggest we head down to the water ice spot I've been dying to try. We picked up a quart of pina colada water ice and it was delicious - with or without the rum! ;)\nSince then, I think I've been back about 3 more times (yes, in only a week) but it's only open during the summer!! \nThis mom and pop spot has the best water ice I've ever had. If you follow me on foursquare, then you know it's true, I'm going to be the mayor any day now!! Hopefully, being mayor may influence a \"margarita\" flavor!"

"Been there, done that, won't be back. \nThe food was horrible. Service was bad. And both my son and I left there feeling sick and stayed that way the rest of the day. \nIt gets 1 star because, well I don't have an option to give anything less and also because it was very clean.",
"This place is highly underrated. It's always busy at t his place, but it's always fast too.\n\nI like to come here with the family every few weeks. They have a very good selection of sushi, mongolian bbq and various sorts of chinese food. At $10 a head for the all you can eat buffet, it's also a very good value.",
"Rating if for their takeout crispy noodle chow mein which is generous sized and well priced and sometimes it's OK, but not consistently. Their main thing is, of course, the buffet - the usual. It's pretty popular though. 2 1/2 rounded up to 3 only because it's Christmastime.",
"ahhh, I love this place(: I crave it as I write this review. I love love love their hot & sour soup, Hawaiian bbq chicken, stir fry & sushi! mmmm, idk what was going on with those other reviews, but the food is great. the servers don't speak English, but it's a buffet so you don't need them anyway! who cares, I just love getting down on this place it's soooo good. :)",
"Chow mein pretty bad this last time - celery and onions and cornstarch and msg. They just kind of randomly cook it - too much meat one time, too little the next. Better leave them to do their buffet thing.",
"I was sadly disappointed. I stopped for lunch, the place was nearly empty and the buffet was pathetic. The food was luke-warm and not very tasty and the selection was poor. The egg rolls tasted funky too. The service was equally poor, never saw the server again after I sat to eat. No tip for him.\n\nWill not be back...",
"First of all I was seated at a booth and the springs were poking my butt. Then the let down with the food, mediocre at best! Take it from an Asian, I know!",
"Food was good. Great selection. I was with another couple. they paid for the meal by CC,and I paid the tip with cash. the server actually returned to the table after he noticed no tip was entered on CC reciept! A major no-no!\n I would have given higher review if it hadn't of been for this. Maybe he was just concerned that the service/food was not satisfactory to us..but I percieved it as a negative.",
"Please just go to Mc Donalds if you can. The lady at the sushi bar it's extremely rude if see you not tip at your second trip. the workers look unhappy. The food is blended. not fresh. It is gross. Unless you love crappy buffets Do not go there. That place will not last very long. somebody will end up with a bad seafood poisoning. I paid 25 dll for me and my 11 year old daughter and I seriously tell you It was not worth 10 dll. eww I still feel sick!!",
"After a long day of riding, a buddy and I stopped in to have dinner one Monday night. The employees/servers were really(Never had an empty glass or a dirty plate). The food taste like it was microwaved from a per package meal, it was poor - had no flavor - and was very plan. Had nothing special to offer. \n\nWell i go back? Most likely not."

"Sushi rolls are huge and really good! Staff are very friendly, restaurant is clean and close to the base. Wish they would deliver :( Would recommend to everyone!",
"This is the new sushi place in Belle Chasse! It recently opened about a couple of months ago, so they still have a few kinks to work out. \n\nThe service is VERY slow. We even waited about 10 minutes just to be seated and my girlfriend and I were on our lunch break! The atmoshere is nice and the dining room small to average sized. They probably need to hire some more waitstaff to take care of their customers. It's a very popular lunch spot in Belle Chasse, being that it's the only one in the city.\n\nThe food is good...I wouldn't say great, but it's enough to satisfy a sushi craving for lunchtime. They have a pretty standard sushi menu with about 10-12 special rolls. i recommend the Big Man Roll :)",
"I have been here several times since it opened, and it is the best sushi I've had in the greater New Orleans area so far. The dishes are good, and some are even creative! One sushi dish I ordered came with 4 huge slices of seaweed-wrapped roll placed fish-side-down on the plate, and each slice had been piled high with a wonderfully textured (and tasting) mix of fish, roe, and sauce. \n\nI think the service has improved since they first opened. I would recommend this place to anyone, and even go out of my way to go there.",
"My husband hates sushi, so needless to say it has become a rare treat for me,LOL. This place opened up a little while back and I have been dying to try it out since the dining options in Belle Chasse are pretty limited. I FINALLY got the chance to go tonight with a friend and I'm so glad that I did! \n\nWe ordered the Seafood Egg Roll as an app. It was pretty good, although it's almost $8 for a roll that only feeds two. For our meal we split two sushi rolls- one snow crab and one crawfish. Both were great! I liked that the crawfish had some spice to it. \n\nThe place itself is very nice, clean. It's not very big but there is enough room to move around. The server was very friendly but the app took a long time to come out (we were the only table in the place). Overall, I will definitely be coming back (or I guess I should say getting takeout since my husband won't try it ;) when I'm having a sushi craving! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good sushi!",
"Good place (the only place) for a lunchtime sushi craving if you're already in Belle Chasse with time to spare.\n\nI've been here 3 times for lunch. The food is all fine, I like that they serve root beer. The prices are definitely comparable or lower than Westbank sushi joints.\n\nThe sushi's just... meh. The fish itself has never been bad, but the pieces are different heights and there's always 1 or 2 pieces per roll that don't even stay closed on the way to your table. Never had that happen at a sushi restaurant before.",
"My husband and I love this place! I think they had just opened when we got stationed here, and this was the first restaurant we went to, on our first night here before we had the kitchen unpacked. We love it! Their selection of sushi is expansive without being overwheming, and they have a good selection of Japanese dishes for those not fond of sushi. The first night we went I had the udon soup which was as delicious as it was massive, I took half of it home for the next day's lunch! My husband had the beef teriyaki bento box, and it was very good, as was the clear soup and salad it came with. I can't remember everything else we had, as that was a few months ago, but we sampled quite a bit of the various sushi offerings and they were all delicious! I love flying fish roe, and theirs was extremely fresh and fabulous! We also had a raw tuna salad that was absolutely amazing! Our waitress was very sweet and brought out a fork and training chopsticks for our 3 year old. \n\nWe went again last night for my birthday dinner and, again, everything was fabulous! We started out with the gyoza, which was perfectly crisp on the bottom and tender throughout, and the dipping sauce was wonderful, I made sure to save it for my sashimi. I had the Chirasi bento box meal, with two to three pieces each of 7 different sashimi pieces, including octopus (This was a first for me, I love it!), salmon, tuna, and crab stick with seasoned rice topped with roe. I am not honestly certain what the other two were, they were white fleshed fish, I think one may have been swordfish. I'm not good at guessing unless they have a distinct appearance. The presentation was gorgeous with some of the fish rolled into rose shapes. Lovely. The dippind sauce from the goyoza was fab on the white fish, too! We also ordered the shrimp and avocado rolls, which were delish, and my husband had the beef teriyaki again, which was just as great as before! We both had the miso soup this time and it was very good! I wanted to get some red bean ice cream, as that is a favorite of mine, but our son was getting antsy, so we headed home. \n\nI must also add that they offer a military discount, which is always appreciated! We would definitely be here more often if we ate out of the house more (I just love to cook!), and will definitely keep coming back! My only complaint is that they don't carry Orion beer, which is one my husband drank a lot of while stationed in Japan, and he says is also very popular there. I also wish I didn't have to ask for a fork, as I am slightly chop stick handicapped, and it's a rather embarassing thing to have to ask for, so I wish they would be offered at the table along with the chopsticks. However, that is quickly remedied by asking for a fork for my son, hiding it, pretending it fell on the ground, and asking for another! ;)",
"I love having sushi right down the street from my house, and the resturaunt is normally pretty quiet since its mainly alot of take out orders. Unfortunately i was affected right before i came home to finish my review, came in late, asked to eat at the bar, expected to have hot towels brought out etc... after waiting 10 minutes i have my rolls brought out in to go boxes, obviously the girl wasnt too worried about customers and more worried about getting out of there.",
"I was visiting my BFF & her 3 girls in NOLA and we decided to do sushi takeout one night. They'd ordered from Asahi a few times before and said it was pretty good, so I gave it a shot.\n\nSalmon sashimi - awesome. Seven (7!) huge slices of sashimi. Super fresh-tasting. \n\nRock & roll - deelish. Only 5 pieces but HUGE roll. \n\nSnow Crab roll - have to say, thought it had a bit too much mayo in it. Which was weird, because there was snow crab in the Hawaiian roll (also awesome - tempura shrimp, snow crab, mango, crunchy row & eel sauce). \n\nMy BFF's hubby was a huge fan of the New Orleans roll (spicy crawfish, avocado, spicy tuna, snow crab, wasabi tobiko & eel sauce) - I'm not a huge fan of spicy anything.\n\nComing from the DC area, I thought the prices were super reasonable and sushi was excellent. Only reason I didn't give 5 star rating was because of the mayoeyness of the snow crab.",
"Sushi in the Plaquemines? Yeah, it is there. This would be a 4-star review if their prices were not as steep.\n\nReasons to go: \n1) Clean store. In this area, this will always be a reason to go if it is applicable.\n2) Food. Not to bad on the rolls but I am comparing them to San Diego standards.\n\nReasons to avoid:\n1) Parking. You are in the same lot with a popular pizza place as well as other successful businesses.\n2) Pricey. It is not terrible, but the food is overpriced for what you pay for.\n3) Location. It is next door to a place that sells good pizza... hard competition.",
"This place used to be my favorite in Belle Chasse. I took everyone there. Today the fish was awful it was smelly and had a stringy film over it. They insisted it was fresh. It was not. I didn't even finish one whole piece. They refused to replace it or take it off the check. I will not be back.\n\nI know what sushi should taste and smell like, this is not it."

"I love the Katie's Pizza & Pasta Osteria in Rock Hill but who doesn't, right? The new West County space is really bright and cheerful. I absolutely love the look of the gold shelving behind the bar. The food is what you're all wondering about though. We started with the cannellini bean dip (pizza points + calamata olives.) The dip was perfectly spiced and smooth and the Pizza points had just the right amount of char on the crust. For my entree I chose the Lemon Strozzapreti (LEMON FLAVORED STROZZAPRETI WITH LEMON ZEST + CREAM + CAULIFLOWER + PISTACHIO.) Since cauliflower is my favorite vegetable and pistachios are my favorite nuts this was an easy decision. The strozzapreti was perfectly cooked, the cauliflower had a nice brown char on it and the acid from the lemon made the dish taste fresh and light! The salty Bites from the pecorino were the perfect complement. Can I eat here every night? Way too full for dessert but maybe next time. There won't just be a next time. There will be lots of visits to the new KPPO!",
"So happy that we have the pleasure of eating at such a fantastic and divine restaurant in town and country! Thank you for bringing one of my favorites closer to my home.\n\nThey have the same menu and hours as the other location. I can not rave about this place more!! Everything is delicious, literally have tried almost everything on the menu and I can not say one negative thing! Today we began with the Brussels sprouts as our starter (cooked to perfection with amazing flavor) then we both got the lunch special! Perfect amount of food and a good way to get to try a few items and don't forget 2 dollars off glasses of wine during lunch too. I went with my all time favorite grilled artichoke salad and the prawn panino (prawns are great size and the flavor is refreshing and delectable). My mom went for the artichoke salad (her all time favorite) and the lemon strozzapreti (one of the my all time favorites on the menu, be prepared for a bowl full of flavor-fullness). You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There is such a fantastic variety and you have the chance to try multiple different choices that will delight all your taste buds! \n\nThe decor here is exactly what I love! Fresh, clean and hip. It reminds me of many Portland Oregon restaurant in many aspects and I am glad we are getting more originality in the town and country area! The outdoor area is larger then the Manchester location and I can't wait for cooler days when I can sit outside with family and friends and family enjoy some drinks with fantastic food! \n\nAgain, I can not rave about Katie's any more! You have to just try it. It has never disappointed!!",
"Very crowded! Food is a definite downgrade compared to the rock hill location. Pizza was just rubbery and it is supposed to be a staple there! Definitely overhyped. Would rather go to Marcella nearby.",
"So new spot for Katie and some rough patches. Flatbread pizza with Salume Beddu had so much lemon it was inedible and bitter arugula spoiled the delicacy of capellini. Artichoke salad delicious and wait staff, though harried, competent. Why however would prominent southeast window look out on trash containers? Eeesh. Put up one of Ted's paintings!",
"Whoa it's loud in there. Went for a business lunch and we could barely hear each other. Food is good. Gluten feee crust is good. It's a cute place and I will probably be back due to the location of my office.",
"My girlfriend and I decided to meet here for dinner last night (a Wednesday). I was stuck in traffic and she was at Katie's for 40 minutes before I arrived. She said she was seated promptly and courteously, but that's where the service ended. \n\nIn the 40 minutes that she waited at our table not one person acknowledged her, no one even filled the water glasses, which were empty when I arrived. The table was only about 15 feet from the bar, where the wait staff was constantly coming and going with food and drink orders. It is impossible that no one noticed her.\n\nA few moments after I arrived, our water glasses were filled, bread was set out and we were told our waitress would be with us in a moment. After hearing my girlfriend's story, we decided to give them 10 minutes from when I sat down and in that 10 minutes no one else acknowledged us, or took a drink order.\n\nSo, after my girlfriend had waited 50 minutes without so much as a drink order taken, we left and went down the street to The Wolf where we had a great experience at a fraction of what I would have paid, and they only had two waitresses working.\n\nI cannot comment on the food, but the other reviews of the noise levels are accurate. It is very loud, and they seem to amplify the sounds of screaming children. Another issue I had is that the wait staff had no uniforms or name tags or anything to indicate they worked there, it was very chaotic. \n\nI understand this location is new, but I'm in no rush to return and give them a second chance.",
"Cute place with nice patio but that's about all that's good. I waited for my friend for about 10 minutes no one even came over to offer a drink or water for that matter. Way over priced for what you get.",
"The food was excellent on both visits as I've come to expect based on visits to the first location. I ate lunch there on 8/31 and dinner on 9/1. I particularly enjoyed the artichoke salad, fried artichoke appetizer, and charred cauliflower appetizer. \n\nOur servers on both visits did a good job. Our dinner server on 9/1 was quite busy and probably had too many tables at once. Even then, she managed to do a good job. \n\nGetting seated on 9/1 with a reservation for six people more than challenged my patience. *. In the end, we only got seated after my husband complained. Sad for a women owned business that only men get results. In all we waited over 30 minutes past our reservation time. They did come by and apologized to my husband and gave us free dessert. So to their credit they attempted guest recovery. \n\nI will probably be back because I love the food more than my hostess experience. To avoid the seating issues, I recommend going early for lunch or only making a reservation for four or less. I wouldn't recommend Katie's for a party more than four. \n\n* I made this reservation 4-5 days in advance in OpenTable. We were celebrating a birthday. I thought I was doing them a favor checking in a little less than 10 minutes in advance, but I was admonished for being early. I was told my table was finishing up. Ok, that's not a problem. I checked again 10 minutes after our reservation time and was told our table was being bussed. Sometime later, I checked again and told our table was just finishing up. 30 minutes past our reservation time and trying to decide what to do, my husband decides to check. That's when they finally got us a table. I really felt lied to and dismissed for being a woman. \n\nI wish they had been upfront in the beginning. They could have told me there was no way for us to be seated in a timely fashion. I understand a 10-20 minute wait, but this was too much. I had my two kids with me and that didn't make the wait easier.",
"I had my first experience at Katie's last week. My husband and I loved it!!! I loved the lemon pasta and our waiter Michael suggested that we add asparagus... great suggestion, it was fantastic! My husband loved the black pasta and the drinks were excellent. Our waiter was very detailed and gave us amazing service. We can't wait to go back!",
"Great pizza, great atmosphere, great people! My wife and I had the fried artichoke salad and the Quattro Formagio pizza. she had a glass of wine and the bartender Grace made me an awesome drink with rosemary green tea simple syrup. What a great night! Definitely be back."

"A good choice for a quick meal in the University area.\n\nThe food here is incredibly consistent - I've been here countless times through the years, both in its current location and the previous spot two doors down. It's not the best sushi in Edmonton but certainly not the worst either.\n\nHowever, I was not impressed with the service on my most recent visit. I showed up just before 9 p.m. on a Monday night for a late dinner. Everyone seemed to be hurrying up to get out of there (despite being open until 10 p.m.)\n\nOur server couldn't recommend a bottle of sake (except pointing at one and saying, \"it burns\") and later appeared annoyed when I asked to have our plates changed between eating tempura and sushi. (Maybe I'm anal retentive, but I don't like different sauces mixing on my plate.)\n\nThe food itself is good. The assorted tempura is crispy, if a little on the dense side, and the fish is of good quality and reasonable portions. They also include complimentary bowls of miso soup.\n\nBonus points for having aji (Spanish mackerel) on their regular menu - one of my favourites but sometimes hard to find.\n\nThe uniform pricing for nigiri sushi also makes it simple to choose - toro over plain tuna is a no-brainer!\n\nWhenever I'm in the area, I seem to keep coming back. However, I really hope this hiccup in service is an anomaly.\n\n$60 for two people including a bottle of sake.",
"Oops - refiling this under the right Kyoto location :)\n\nI was puzzled why Eric F. had a FTR since I remembered writing on this place in June 2009!\n\nI remember this when it was the smaller, less renovated version a couple of doors down. This is the first time I've been back since I left Edmonton a couple of years ago... in the reno'ed space, there are much nicer tables and decor with a few tatami rooms.\n\nService is still consistent and food comes at a good pace. The menu has gotten a bit larger since I was last here and offers a selection of smaller combos and bento boxes for lunch, and options to order udon, cooked meat dishes, sushi/sashimi boats, rolls and sushi by the pair. Miso soup is complimentary. Today I had the negitoro, aji (spanish mackerel) and unagi.\n\nSelection of fish has improved from the last time I was here and quality is okay. I am a sushi snob and it satisfies a craving - Vancouver is still the go-to place, but Kyoto brings back good memories of my university years and is A-OK.",
"I've been to a lot of sushi places, and this is bar none the best. All ways good and fresh food. Plus they serve streak, for the people who don't like sushi. Its Fantastic, almost like stepping into Japan it self. Great atmosphere.",
"This was one of the first places I ever (reluctantly) tried sushi. (I grew up with a brother allergic to seafood, OK?) Even before I ever went down the raw fish route, I still liked Kyoto because of their great bento selections. 'Fraid of the fish? I was, but I was always happy with teriyaki chicken/teriyaki beef/tempura kind of bentos.\n\nWhen I finally did take my first bite of California roll (after being seduced by the avocado roll), I never looked back. The sushi here is good! The menu has a wide selection, too, most of which I still have yet to try, but I'm working myself up to.",
"The sublime taste of truly fresh salmon sashimi dipped in soy sauce and wasabi is a great experience that I yearn for on a daily basis. At kyoto, I can say this once more .. the sashimi is decent. It's certainly not the best I've had .. but it's so nice! \n\nKyoto's on 87th ave and a 109th st is a good, spacious Japanese restaurant. The menu is large with inviting pictures to make any patron a fan! I've tried the chicken teriyaki once and found it to be decent. However, I would say that the sashimi is really what's so great about this place! \n\nThe assorted tempura order is quite big so don't get it is just two people sharing it and if you plan to have a buttload of sushi too (I've made that mistake twice now!). I'm not discouraging people from the tempura - it's still very yumm!!\n\nIn general, the prices are very reasonable (roughly $30 a person) .... of course, beer and saké are available. Expect to have a decent time at this sushi place. Of course, given its location, it seems like a great dinner getaway after a movie at the Garneau. I find the location useful, given that I work on the U of A campus.",
"I regularly have sushi here, more so for convenience than anything. As far sushi goes it is not the best I have had in the city but it is very good and is probably the best bet for sushi in the Garneau area. The servers are very friendly and price point is good which is never a bad thing!",
"Kyoto has a very diverse menu of all sorts of maki, sushi, sashimi, along with other Japanese cuisine. Everything, even the most exotic sashimies are fresh and nicely decorated. When there is chef specials don't hesitate to try them. I got never disappointed trying new stuff. The service and the price are totally acceptable, especially when compared to other sushi places in town.",
"I am a fan of both Kyoto locations, but despite working nearby come to this one less often and this is mainly because of the parking.\n\nAs with the other location, the nigiri and rolls are good, but the stars are the tapa-like starters and side dishes. The squid care aga (lightly breaded deep fried squid strips) are usually worthwhile, oysters and scallops misonaise also very good. \n\nThe best deal is to get a bento box at lunch for less than $10 and it comes with mi-so soup and a bean sprout salad with great sesame oil dressing.\n\nI like the tetami rooms, but reserve ahead if you want one.",
"When I first went there years ago, it was \"alright\". Kind of pricey, even for sushi. But now, it's an amazing experience. It's almost like an urban sushi place. You go in, slap down $20-$25 for an amazing meal of higher quality Sushi. Definitely recommend it for friends hanging out or that all important first date.",
"I've never had Japanese food before, well maybe a few pieces of sushi, so going to this restaurant was a real eye opener! I immediately loved the atmosphere of this restaurant, it was very calm and classy and the servers were incredibly responsive and professional. \n\nAlthough afterwards it was clear I was not a fan of Japanese food, I still had a wonderful time. It helped that I was with great company but in addition, the atmosphere and impeccable service. \n\nIf you're a fan of Japanese food, or would like to try it out, this is the place to do it. The prices are also quite reasonable and the amount of food provided is impressive."

"Though cooked within an inch of their lives, the burgers were tasty. The bacon on mine was crisp and delicious, but the cheese (noted on the menu as 'American Cheese') was nasty fake Cheez Whiz. My companion ate all of his fries, but I found mine soggy and greasy and barely ate half. Companion's black and white milkshake was so thick he had to eat it with a spoon. Service was slow, but I think they are still working out the bugs. The order-taker/cashier seemed overwhelmed, having to take both in-store and phone orders. Go on a nice day, when you can sit outside, as the tiny dining room gets quite cramped when a line forms for ordering. I will probably try again, but order ahead for take-out. We were planning on their highly touted ice-cream for dessert, but the line was ridiculously long.",
"Tried to get here the weekend it opened but the lines were very long. Second weekend, no lines. Brought my daughter to grab a chili dog and fries. She liked the chili dog, I did not, but for $3 you can't expect much. Maybe avoid the chili. Maybe avoid the cheese as well. The cheese was something resembling cheese whiz but more gelatinous and transparent. The fries while abundant were soggy and tasteless. The gelatin based \"cheese\" did not help the fries. I did like the lemonade though so there is that. If you are in a hurry, best to stay away as the 2 chili dogs, fries and 2 drinks had me waiting 15 minutes with no lines. Cost for all this happiness was $13. Again, you can't expect too much at that price. I will come back and try the ice cream as that portion of the menu seemed to be more popular than the food.",
"Place is cute but horrible service. The person who served me at the counter just didn't pay attention. I repeated my order over and over again and the staff person admitted she got it wrong and that I was over charged. After the food was delivered I reminded her that I was over charged and suddenly she said I wasn't over charged, yet she never returned to the register to verify. Made no sense and I realized I was getting no where and had a line forming behind me, so I just gave up! Perhaps they are not sufficiently trained. I don't know; but it's one and done for us!",
"My beau and I decided we were in the mood for ice cream and decided to give this place a try. While the portions are huge, the ice cream wasn't amazing. We both agreed we would rather have better ice cream and less of it. We are sticking with gibbys as our local fave.",
"Edited ice cream is good I havnt tryed the food. I took away a star because I was going on my daughter's word. I'll try the food next time.",
"I am an absolute ice cream fiend, so the fact that I didn't even finish a small cup from here speaks volumes. It had a weird taste to it, maybe a bit freezer-burned, or just kind of artificial tasting? I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Also tried my little ones and hers wasn't very good either. She ate about five bites and was done with hers as well. Stick with Gibbys or dairy delite!",
"Long wait time and incompetent staff. Called our number, I came to pick up food and they said \"no, we didn't call that\". Ten minutes go by and staff opens up the bag that had been sitting at the pickup window and ask if anyone is missing food. Turns out we had been called and they had let our food sit there getting cold...I get home and all three burgers were not as ordered; did not have any of the toppings we had asked for. Just burnt, dry flavorless burgers. Never going back.",
"Came here because they were offering free ice cream for moms on Mother's Day. They have a good burger and hot dog menu. AND they have a great ice cream menu. This place will replace a trip to freindlies for me.",
"Richman's Ice Cream on Bristol Emile Road in Levittown, Pa., is a local burger joint that emphasizes its ice cream, but does a bang up job on their beef pucks. It has a 1960's feel to it, with indoor/outdoor dining and order/pickup windows. You order and the receipt has a number that will be called when your meal is ready. \n\nWe stopped in after shopping in the area for a late lunch. We ordered their Original Burger (Double with cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, mayo and a spicy chipotle-type sauce, on a bun), and a Southwest Burger (avocado, lettuce, tomato, cheese and extra spicy sauce). The combo provides an ample load of fries and a large drink, so we ordered one combo to share those extras. At $14, it was a good deal.\n\nThe burgers were hand packed and loose enough to grill up well and retain that special grease that makes good burgers, great. They reminded of 5 Guys, but better in that they were not crushed in wrapping, and the sauces were nicely complimentary. Liked them a lot. Only negative was the quality of the roll, which was not strong enough to hold together after a few bites. It became necessary to find the plastic forks so as to avoid having to pick up the pieces falling out of the sandwich with sticky fingers. A better roll (potato or Kaiser) would offer longer support for the weighty innards. The fries were well done (the way I like them), and the lemonade tart enough to quench two dry whistles. \n\nWe didn't get a chance to try the ice cream, as although we sat outside under blue sunny skies at first, by the time we were halfway through the meal, the skies had darkened, and it was raining pretty hard, forcing us inside, where it was crowded and difficult to move around. Will try their 'scream next time. \n\nAll in all, a pleasant burgerlicious experience.",
"One of the tastiest burgers I've ever had excellent milkshake friendly service I definitely will be back I was at the Glenside location"

"My Boyfriend and I went on a Wednesday night around 6 or 7 PM to grab a quick dinner and it was packed. They were very organized with taking orders. There were tons of kids running around, and old people talking loudly, but it was full. If this sort of thing gets on your nerves, just remember its not an intimate BYOB downtown.",
"It was weird , all white staff that did back flips for the black customers while I waited longer then all of them who were behind me in line . Food was OK but just a really weird experience .",
"Excellent food ! Beats KFC , their spicy chicken sandwich was smoking' hot and delicious !!! Great waffle fries too",
"The food at Chic-fil-A is tasty and consistent. We typically get the signature chicken sandwich with American cheese. We also get a side of nuggets. I just found out that Chic-fil-A has Chic-fil-A sauce which is a cross between honey mustard and BBQ sauce. The staff is great and always friendly. They offer refills if you eat in and walk around to help people clear their trash. I only wish they were open on Sunday's.",
"There is only one word in the English language to describe this Chick-Fil-A, Amazing! Even when it's crowded you get the fastest service. When I go, I go simple, and order the #1 (Chicken Sandwich, w/ order of waffle fries and a small drink). As soon as I order it they send it out to me ASAP, and I'm already sitting down eating. Other than the fast service, you get the best tasting food you can get. Waffle fries to die for, and the best chicken sandwich in Philadelphia.",
"Free drink refills and friendly service and allows Sundays off for all their employees? Awesome place to eat. All this an an airport location where customer expectations are low?! \n\nGood sandwiches and waffle fries are delicious. Good value.",
"I absolutely love this place. I wish there were more around and that they were open on Sundays. Those are my only complaints. Other then that there are no words to describe this place. I usually get the chicken salad sandwich which is amazing. I love their waffle fries and their chicken nuggets are the best.",
"Not only is the food delicious here, the service is also great! The drive-thru employees always tell me it is their pleasure to serve me, and they gave my dog a biscuit when I drove thru with him. The dining room is also great, they give you free refills on your drink if you ask, sometimes they even walk around the dining room offering refills and clearing your tray. The line looks long sometimes, but it goes really quick. Very well managed restaurant overall!",
"Very clean place. Staff goes out of their way to ensure your satisfaction. Recommend this location to everyone.",
"This place has a new owner! He is always looking to do things right! I'm sure this will be the best CFA in philly!"

"To be perfectly honest, it was probably a really bad decision for me to crave bagels after coming from New York City... there's really no comparison to quality, taste, or anything. \n\nThe cream cheese is processed and comes in gross little tubs. I guess when you're franchised like this, you're to expect your cream cheese has things like high fructose corn syrup and gum arabic (for consistency). The problem is, even if it has these things, it shouldn't TASTE like it does. \n\nBagels taste like strange toast/english muffin hybrids. The only thing reminiscent of a truly good bagel is its (unusually flattened) round shape. \n\nCoffee? Double gag.",
"These bagels are fine. Baked fresh on site. Better than St. Louis Bread down the street or the grocery store. There's also baked goodies, hot drinks and bagel sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. \n\nGood breakfst bagel sandwiches. I have my bagels toasted with butter and they were fine. I don't do cream cheese shmears so I don't know if these are worse than others. \n\nThe staff is friendly, and you have a ringside seat from the windows at the CWE scene as you eat and drink.\n\nWhat's to complain? You want overpriced, tough skinned, chewy New York bagels from abrupt and rude waitpersons, go back to New York. I'll gladly take my freindly hello and less gourmet midwestern bread product. \n\nGetting through the two entrance doors is a bit awkward if you have a tote bag or umbrella.",
"Can you give a review with negative stars? Since that's not an option, I'll start with the key point: Einstein Brothers Bagels does not sell bagels. They sell puffy rolls with holes in them. If you cut the middle out of a slice of bread, that does not magically transform it into a bagel or a donut or bracelet from Tiffany's. \n\nBut what about the puffy rolls, you ask, aren't they good? And the cream cheese? The rolls come in a variety of artificial flavors, none of which precisely matches its name (\"Hey, this Asiago Cheese/ Blueberry / Chocolate Chip bagel has a vaguely chemical aftertaste and lumps of foreign matter that must be in some way connected to its name. Yum . . . ish.\")\n\nIf fate has been so cruel as to leave you no choice but Einstein Brothers, order the plainest thing you can and try not to chew too much.",
"Can't say I ate here. \n\nI stopped in to just have a cup of tea and do some light reading while waiting for some people to meet up with. \n\nThe staff was really friendly and for such a big chain I was surprised.",
"The only decent bagels in st. Louis. \nBetter than panera, just don't be dumb and order bagels with blueberries or other such nonsense. In my mind there should be only sesame, poppy, salt, everything and pumpernickel. The rest are extraneous. \n\nAs for the obligatory reviews from former New Yorkers, don't give us the entire new York bagels are so much better. There are a lot of crappy bagel joints there too.\n\nFresh bagels every morning made in the store, that's all you need to know.",
"A solid choice for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or a cup of tea. Although the wifi here is kind of a crapshoot, the great service and spacious seating area will draw me back in again soon.",
"Love the ice tea, love the food.\n\nI wish I came to Einstein's enough to know what to order. Everything looks so good and the place smells wonderful, I am just overwhelmed by options and I can never decide what to get.\n\nI have been to this specific Einsteins 3 times, I love the decor and wish I were a student so I could go there to study. The staff have always been super friendly and even help me try to figure out what to order.\n\nCan't wait to go back!",
"I have the best friend in the world! When we are out and about he takes me to some of the coolest places and this is one of them!\n\nSure Einstein Bros. have been around a while, I've passed up a bunch of them in my travels and never went in.. yesterday I had the chance to go enjoy lunch at this particular store.\n\nThe cashier was a very nice person with a great personality, he seemed as if, anything thrown at him, he'd be able to handle. Everyone was nice. The store is big and very nice atmosphere.\n\nI had the turkey cheddar melt and it was GOOD. I had it on a thin bagel and I loved that choice... for me, who needs more bread? \n\nI had an iced tea and it was also very good, I've not had a good iced tea out like that in a long time, besides at Starbucks!\n\nThey had a sample basket by the front register so I sampled a pretzel bit with nacho cheese and just because of that sample we purchased a container of them. The container looks small but there were plenty of pretzels and cheese to take care of that desire. \n\nIt was a very pleasurable experience and I enjoyed the company as well as the food, it's a beautiful area and I can't wait to go back and walk around and find out what else is hiding in this area.",
"Ooof. So apparently someone decided to call me out on bagel pretentiousness by saying I should go back to my \"overpriced, tough skinned, chewy New York bagels from abrupt and rude waitpersons.\" And then proceeds to call Einstein's a Midwestern bread product. \n\nWell, sir/ma'am (ambiguous Yelp profile-r), you're exactly right. It's a bagel-shaped bread product. I have no qualms if that's what you prefer. Just don't put your values on me. I'm entitled to my opinion. \n\nI'm sorry for your misinformation, but that's probably what also got me, too. My freshly boiled and baked (Einstein's ships their bagels frozen to their stores), fluffy cream cheese-laden bagels from my ever-friendly bagel server, Juan (yes, first-name relationship here!) are cheaper than the comparable Einstein's bread product. I dream of those deliciously delicate-yet-chewy bagels on occasion. And I do go back to New York for them. \n\nHowever, I will say that this location is probably one of the most charming Einstein's locations. It's a great place to spend a quiet morning and do some work. And the staff is probably the friendliest of any bakery in the neighborhood.\n\nI got used to the bagels a bit. Garlic is my favorite. I can't stress how nice the people here are, but I do wish they were open a little later than they are.",
"Faster and better service than the Bread Co. Bagels are alright. Sandwiches are pretty good and they have a great breakfast selection. Coffee could be better."

"First impression - This place is beautiful! The overall design aesthetic is bright, modern, and beautifully detailed. Even down to the plates. The place locally sources all their foods. I think they mentioned they source from about 30 local farms. The only items not local is obvious foods that can not be grown here such as avocado, salmon, etc.. \n\nWe stopped here for lunch and the staff was very welcoming. It was pretty quiet as we expected since this place just opened about a week ago. Our server was super friendly and very open about his favorite choices on the menu. He was also knowledgeable in the beer and alcohol selection as he said he is a bartender there. We didn't try their craft cocktails but all sounded delicious and also well thought out when they were figuring out the menu. The menu isn't to overwhelming which is nice. There is a nice selection of small plates, salads, pizza, pastas, and handhelds which all sounded delicious. I got the avocado toast topped with fresh lump crab meat and EVOO. There wasn't too much crab but the amount of avocado was great and the bread was delicious. It was a nice thick Italian bread. I also liked how they had some hot peppers scattered on top to add a little heat. I also had some of the calamari. It was perfect! There was a perfect about of sauce, and seasoned just right. Again loved the additions of the hot peppers. \n\nEveryone else I was with seemed to really enjoy their meals too. I definitely will have to try a pizza next time. The crust is real thin and the toppings look amazing. Their pizzas are 10\" for lunch 12\" for dinner. I am curious to see what their dinner menu contains and will have to try a cocktail too. The waiter also mentioned they may eventually be adding brunch on Saturday and Sunday once they finalize the menu items, and other details since they just opened up. I really hope they add that since there aren't many options in the suburbs. Overall first impression was great! I will definitely be back and recommend everyone to try :)",
"My girlfriends and I stopped in for dinner one night last week. My first impression was how beautiful the restaurant is. The bar and the lighting fixtures give the place a modern, upscale feel. The wine and cocktail list was impressive and the menu made me want to try everything. We decided to try a few things and share them. This is a small plates/tapas style restaurant so don't go there expecting to walk out uncomfortably full. It's a great place for cocktails and shareable plates. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and beautifully presented. Service was great. Our waitress was attentive and accommodating. It was a great experience and we will be going back.",
"Avola was outstanding!!!! I anticipated it being great but it far exceeded my expectations!! The service, the food, and the drinks were amazing!!! The beef tenderloin, calamari, and all the food we had was cooked to perfection! The drinks were creative and tasty to say the least! And I can not say enough about the service. Brittany provided top notch service and made our whole experience great!!! Thank you Avola!!",
"My daughters and son took me our to dinner at Avola Sat. night to celebrate my 60th Birthday! The resteraunt was beautiful. The waitress was extremely friendly and very accommodating to all of our requests. The owner was super nice and made sure to talk with all of the patron's to ensure we were pleased with the food and service. The food was scrumptious and the drinks...well let's just say this, they were extremely well made!! Yummy!! Thanks all for making my birthday special!!",
"Great new spot in Malvern! So nice to see a change of pace and more unique than anything else around. Great food, good service, and tasty beverages. Chicken albondigas and calamari were excellent starters and very flavorful. Entrees were all great and pizza was perfect to share in addition to entree. Definitely check it out!",
"My daughter and I went here for lunch today. The interior is beautiful, bright, and modern. We ordered cocktails (highly recommend-white cosmo and 3 springs mule) and our drinks were yummy as well as pretty. We started with avocado toast without the crab, and it was very good. My daughter had the blt and I had a Margherita pizza. The blt was the best I've ever tasted, made with homemade bread that was made in house and heirloom tomatoes. The pizza dough was so light and also made in house. The crust was as good as the rest of it, super delicious! Our server was Liz and she was excellent. We will be back!",
"Been there four times. The first time was not a great experience and is documented in a separate review from my friend. Chalk it up to a new restaurant getting into the swing of things.\n\nSince then have dined in the restaurant twice and had take-out. The experiences have been superb. The staff is terrific (special call outs to the bartender Mike and the waitress Chrissie). The owner Anthony checks in regularly and is very down to earth and open to feedback.\n\nThe food is outstanding and is served tapas style (small portions) and they explain that from the outset. Lots of great food we had from the tuna ceviche, beef tartare (I would add an actual egg yolk though), perfectly cooked scallops, pasta and sausage, cheese & meat board, deconstructed cannoli, and caramel & pretzel budino (although it could be bigger).\n\nIt is also well decorated and has a great atmosphere! We loved it there and will definitely be going back!!",
"Visited Avola last evening for dinner with Mark Smith. I really enjoyed the cheese plate and shrimp cocktail. Chrissy, our server, was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the menu, made recommendations, and overall extremely pleasant. I tried some of the corn risotto which was outstanding. I could have eaten that for my meal alone. Dessert was a deconstructed cannoli which was excellent. Anthony, one of the owners, visited our table a few times and we had a great conversation. I highly recommend Avola. Try this beautiful new restaurant and wonderful food. Ginny Hamilton",
"Very impressed for such a new place (open a little over a month). We got a wide assortment of things and it was all good. The steak tartare was perfect. The Philly steak pizza was just the right level of spicy. The kids loved their pasta and cheese pizza. The mushroom fettucini had a good amount of cheese and fungi. Service was good, we were seated promptly, music was fun (though it was Latin, not Mediterranean); basically a very nice overall experience with no complaints. Looking forward to going back so we can try more.",
"This was a great Italian restaurant! If you want a twist on Italian this is your place. The restaurant itself is beautiful the decor is very trendy. It feels like you're in downtown Philly. The lights were dimmed low (could be lower, but for the suburbs, I'll take what I can get). All the food that we ordered was delicious and had really great flavor. We started with a few apps - the calamari, beets, and corn chowder- all amazing! Then we split pizza (it was a special that evening) and the gnocchetti pasta and the carrots as a side. They were all delicious. And the bread they give you is hands down the best bread I've ever had at a restaurant. I know that's silly but I feel compelled to talk about the bread because it was SO. DAMN. GOOD. Drinks were on point too!! Will definitely be back! So happy to have a place like this in the suburbs."

"Really great location to stop in if you find yourself wandering the city like me. \r\n\r\nReally good 3 dollar \"royal\" hamburgers.",
"I've found this to be one of the more formidable 6 dollar cheese steaks in Philly. To their credit, Tony Luke's Jr's has a more diverse menu than most greaseries, which very cheap bugers. I've only ever had the steaks, but for this part of town, it's good for tourists looking for more authentic Philly eats. \n\nThe inside kinda lacks, but there's an upstairs and soda machine that makes it more welcoming than most place -- e.g. Jim's/Steve's.",
"We split an ostrich burger and a cheesesteak with sharp provolone. I was underwhelmed, unfortunately. The beef in the cheesesteak was just okay, however the bread was stale. That's just wrong, imho. The ostrich was tough. Bummer of a meal.",
"Best Cheesesteak in all of downtown Philly. If you're in town on business or just a local who works downtown, this is by far the best cheesesteak money can buy. I come down to Philly 2-3 times a month for work and I always take a trip over to Tony Jrs for lunch. They do breakfast and dinner, but i've only done lunch there.\n\nI've tried a few other greasy cheesesteak spots, including the local street meat variety and I'm confident that Tony Luke jrs is top shelf.\nToday i sampled the Steak Italian which if you've been living in a bubble has sharp provolone and your choice of brocoli rhab or spinach. It wass truely mouth watering. \n\nI also got the poppers which were pretty good. My buddies got the fries with they're cheesesteak and they weren't anything to write home about. \nTLJ also has a variety of burgers, including ostrich. Ostrich burgers aren't something you see on the menu at most places, so i'm gonna go with that next time. \nHowever when i'm standing in line and I smell the meat and the cheese ont he grill, i find it hard to order anything other than cheesesteak.",
"This place was close to our hotel, so an mutual interviewee and I headed over there before our flights out to taste another Philly cheesesteak.\n\nGoing with Cheese Whiz helped to add more taste to the sandwhich and wasn't fast food prepared like at Geno's. I enjoyed my cheesesteak more here, although I have to admit that I wasn't blown away here or at Geno's",
"I keep most of my lunches pretty simple. most of the time I just pick up a lot of fruit and a cup of yogurt at Sue's so I can be healthy pants. other times I just pick up an Egg + Cheese and add on some Turkey Sausage and a Peanut Bar when I'm extra adventurous. But after watching the episode of \"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia\" where the gang go on a manhunt I was seriously feeling the lust for blood. And I could only have that hunger craving satisfied by something gamy and as far from Raccoon(or Human as the gang thought) as possible. So that's what bought me to Tony and his mighty extensive menu.\n\nafter skimming the menu I could only hear it (and some cheese fries) calling my name. So that's when I picked up the Double Ostrich Burger with Cheese. And to Quote Samuel L. in Pulp Fiction \"Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger.\". two quarter pound ostrich burgers on top of each other and smothered in the cheese of your choice. By now most of you are either salivating or screaming, but all I can say is Hot Damn! Oh and those fries were awesome in case you were wondering.\n\nThis place is the second branch of Tony Luke's so it's definitely smaller than the first. But it still does bring in the same immaculate food offerings for meat, and veggie lovers. And it stil has that incredibly talked about cheesesteak that the other one has.",
"Interesting experience at Tony Luke Jr's when I visited Philly in 2006.\n\nFirst of all the food was delicious...the Philly cheesesteaks were great, with of course a Cheese Wiz topping instead of real cheese.\n\nOk now going here was a story within itself. My mother, sister, brother and I were about to leave Philly after an eventful weekend doing the touristy thing and decided to check this place out for lunch.\n\nWe walk in and immediately found this cheesesteak shop to be great. It was simply a small room with a counter to order your lunch and a single wooden chair alone in the center of the room. So we moved this chair aside and ordered our grub.\n\nWe had noticed immediately that some small lady was all alone working the grills and taking the orders. She looked hungover and angry. She was nice to us, took our orders and then came from behind the counter and quickly sprinted to the door. She locked it, looked at us and said \"DO NOT LET ANYONE IN!\"\n\nWe all agreed...looked at each other and laughed in shock. We were being held captive by the tiny cheesesteak lady.\n\nShe explained to us that her employees all decided to skip work and go to the Eagles game...she also told us they were all fired. She explained that she needs the door locked so she does not get too many customers at once, since she is all alone.\n\nSo she went to work...and once in awhile had to answer the phones in disgust. She even had a call from a delivery guy she had sent out on an order and was lost. This lady could not catch a break.\n\nWell 20 minutes have gone by, we are standing in this small beat up room with the single wooden chair, which we insisted our mother use.\n\nThen a knock at the door!\n\nThe small lady has disappeared to the back kitchen, and here we are all alone in this store with some guy at the door. He yelled through the glass that he was the delivery guy. So my brother let him in.\n\nWe told him to lock the door, he looked at us funny and we explained the situation. So he locked it and he ran behind the counter to assist the lady who was not only doing out order, but putting together orders for football parties around Philly.\n\nSo the two of them go to work, and 35 minutes have gone by since our order. Why didn't we just leave at this point? Two reasons...1) we thought all of this was hilarious and 2) after seeing the way this small lady reacts to bad news, we did not want to get on her bad side (she had a Phillies bat behind the counter).\n\nAll of a sudden another group of people walk into the establishment.\n\nWait what? The door was supposed to be locked!\n\nIn they come, we just stand there in shock and then they ring the bell for service. Out comes the small cheesesteak lady in equal shock, but just looked a tad angrier than we were.\n\n\"WHO OPENED THE GOD DAMN DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!\"\n\nWe immediately said in unison \"not us.\"\n\nWith that she screams for the delivery guy in the back, \"DID YOU NOT LOCK THE DAMN DOOR!!!!!!!!!!\"\n\nThe guy gets mad back at her and says, \"I did not know I had to lock the door.\" She looks at us, and my sister says, \"We did too tell you to lock the door.\"\n\nHe looks annoyed at us, she looks annoyed at him, and the new group of people look at each other in scared confusion.\n\nShe then locks the door and says, \"NO ONE OPEN THIS DOOR!!!!\"\n\nFinally 45 minutes later, we have 4 cheesesteaks, 4 fries, 4 drinks and walk upstairs to their \"dining area.\" Actually it was a dimly lit room with 4 old tables and a unisex bathroom, which you can hear the person inside \"doing their business\" as you eat.\n\nOh yes, this will probably not happen to you when you visit...so I will give you Tony Luke Jr's 4 stars, because after all of that craziness you still had the four of us say \"hey this is pretty damn good!\"\n\nWe made sure to tell the lady as we left to lock the door after us.",
"Since Tony Luke's was closed on Sunday. I decided to check out Tony Luke Jr's. Strangely when I was there, I didn't see a single reference to Tony Luke's. I wonder if it used to be a part of Tony Luke's and not anymore. They just called the place \"Tony's.\"\n\nAnyway about the food, I ordered the Cheesesteak with Whiz and onions and Italian Roast Pork with Broccoli rabe. Unfortunately what I got was Cheesesteak with Provolone and Italian Roast Pork with Spinach rabe. Since my orders took about 20 minutes, I decided not to complain because I was ravenously hungry. I couldn't wait anymore.\n\nThe Cheeseteak was very good. The Roast Pork was so so. Their fries were surprisingly good. \n\nI hope you have better luck with your order.",
"I am embarrassed to say that I was too good to order the cheesesteak \"wit wiz\" and got sharp provolone....and then stole half of my girlfriend's wizzed up sandwich and went to town on the thing bc omg, it was just fantastic. I am pretty positive they are made entirely of petroleum byproducts, but wow, that sucker was delicious. I can see what all the fuss is about....",
"okay, first of all, chicken pizza steak? yummmmm!!!! \ntony luke jr's is close to my college of choice, \nand is amazing.\nthe atmosphere isnt too pleasant considering the rickety wooden tables, but the amazing food definitely made up for it. i'll most definitely be going back"

"Excellent service, very good food for reasonable price. I recommend the \"Love Boat\"... \n\nAnd the best of all: it is a BYOB !!!!\n\nI will come back for sure.\n\nBisbal",
"went there the other day with my boyfriend and stepmom, this sushi was so amazing! and it was another one that from the outside didnt look like it would be this good!! we got seaweed salad first which is amazing! some places are much better then others and this was deffinitly one of the best. then i had the dragon roll and it was displayed so nicely and it looked exactly like a dragon and it was so delicious!! the boys stepmom got the rainbow roll and that was so good!! she also got salmon sashimi and that was soo smooth it melted in your mouth!! amazing! dont judge a book by its cover!! go in and try this place and i know you wont be disappointed!",
"I am really impressed with South Ocean. I work in the area and their lunch specials are AMAZING! Resonably priced, with large portions which I always manage to consume in entirety because it is just that good. Already experiencing withdraw from the Eel & Avocado roll that I finished a whole 5 minutes ago. \n\nTheir service is also great (as far as take-out) They are always accomodating and though I haven't had a sit-down meal there yet, I hope to in the very near future.",
"I had lunch here today and was the only person in the place dining. I'm not sure why that is because the sushi rolls were fresh and tasty and beautifully plated. It's also very clean inside and modern. Not your typical vinyl booths that are ripping and falling apart with tacky floral wallpaper and knick knacks as most places that serve this type of cuisine. For $10 I walked out stuffed. Definitely go here.",
"This is my favorite Japanese cuisine joint the sushi is the best and so are the dumplings. They also have very good tempura ice cream. This place is the place to be when you want sushi.",
"This is my favorite Japanese cuisine joint the sushi is the best and so are the dumplings. They also have very good tempura ice cream. This place is the place to be when you want sushi.",
"Excellent! Some of the best sushi in the area. The other dishes are excellent as well. Service is always fast and the staff are very friendly. Only thing missing is a liquor license!",
"South Ocean's website is most definitely deceiving. It gives the impression of a lush Asian Experience.\n\nReality is much different than the Matrix...\n\nI would call this dive sushi in a Chandler-esque manner. This place is not for the faint of heart...or even the local food inspector.\n\nWhile the Lexis Roll really is a fantastic creation (tuna, salmon, avocado, spicy sauce and an exotic presentation, the rest of the really sushi is just passable...if you can't get sushi anywhere else.\n\nThe staff is courteous. The clientele is amusing. Don't come for the sushi.\n\nI'm still on the hunt for good sushi in suburban Philly. I may have to break down and actually head into the City.\n\nMore to follow...",
"I was one of their first customers and I was so thrilled to find good sushi practically around the corner from me. We've been patronizing them since they opened and have sadly watched the gradual deterioration of the quality of their food. Their first sushi chef was an absolute genius. The current one is no better than one found in your basic supermarket. Tonight I gave them one more chance....ordered the Floujrtown Roll and my husband ordered the tofu dinner bento box. Up front, I have to admit that I cannot tolerate any kind of spicy food, which is why I ordered the Flourtown Roll. Unfortunately the sushi chef of the day likes to add that spicy Japanese mayo to his dishes and I had to cut off the top of each piece of my roll. Meanwhile, the California roll in my husband's bento box could not be picked up with chopsticks because they were not properly rolled. I could have done better, and I've made sushi just twice in my life. I'm so sad to see the deterioration of what was once a promising restaurant. We won't be coming back.",
"Great service at this BYOB place. In a strip mall and exactly like other Chinese/Sushi places in this area of PA. I really liked the food. Only ordered off the sushi menu and was truly delighted with food quality and presentation. One criticism: Their website is truly amazing and over-represents the actual restaurant."

"I like the Tijuana Flats chain, and this is a new location close to home for me!\n\nTF is a chain of Mexican Restaurants. You order at a counter and pay, and then they bring the food to your table. They also refill drinks for you. There is a self-service hot sauce bar with lots of choices of varying \"hotness.\"\n\nI always get the tacos, which are very tasty. Make it a meal and you get beans (black or refried), rice and a drink --- not bad. The queso and chips are also very good.\n\nIf you like this kind of food -- you'll like TF.\n\nThis particular location is kind of small compared to others, but is otherwise pretty much like every other one.",
"Food is decent. But I had to sit outside because the music was so loud inside I felt like I was a night club. A nice selection of hot sauces, but probably a third of them where empty. Staff was very friendly.",
"In my opinion, this T Flats gets 3.5 stars\n\nI checked out this new location last night around 8 pm. Prior to this store opening, I had frequented the location down on Roosevelt blvd whenever I was in the area. That location is above and beyond with many things, so this experience for me was mostly a comparison of this store versus the other one.\n\nWhen i entered I was surprised to see how small it was and although most of the tables were busy there was no line to order. I got my usual: a tijuana burrito on flour with chicken and refried beans. It was solid and tasty as usual. I think the hot sauce bar here is a bit different than the other location, but they still had the \"georgia peach and vidalia onion\", my favorite, so no complaints there! \n\nThe service was still good, but not quite as good as the roosevelt location, which is some of the best service i've ever had at a casual dining place like this. The servers weren't quite as quick to offer more chips or drink refills here, so that's the reason for the half star deduction. \n\nOverall it was decent and i'm sure i'll be back since it's so close to home. Don't forget to check out tijuana tuesdaze, 2 tacos, a drink and chips for $5.",
"Meh it was okay. \n\nThe girl behind the counter was not helpful. I asked what was in the burrito because I had never been there she points to a sign on the register & said \"this\". Inside my head \"okay sunshine\" it read olives, jalapeños, lettuce, tom, beans & onion. Asked for a veggie burrito no beans & extra lettuce. She rudely asked what sized I said I'm not sure a normal size? Never had a size option on a burrito so I was thrown off. We sit down the food comes there's beans in my burrito & a pleasant surprise of rice which miss sunshine forgot to mention. \n\nI will try this place again only because my boyfriend loves it but if that girl is there & rude again I'm asking for a manager.",
"I had a great experience at this location. I usually go to the location on Belcher, and the quality of food was just as excellent at this location as it is at the Belcher location.\n\nI have to say though, this location is SUPER tiny and they don't offer nearly as many hot sauces due to the size of the building. Also, when I went to get some of the hot sauces that I like, 3 out of 5 were empty.\n\nI think it can be chalked up to it being a brand new location and the organization is still being worked out. You've got to give every new company a bit of time to work through the beginning stages of establishment. For that reason I gave it 4 stars, if it were a larger building, and a little more organized (which I'm sure it will be soon) I'd give it 5 stars.\n\nBut even with the building being small, it's still nice to have it there.",
"I probably should be embarrassed how many times I have been to this location since it opened in October, but I can't help it. I love Tijuana Flats. This location is small and the hot sauce bar is half of what it is at other locations, the staff isn't quite up to speed on everything, but the food is always good.\nI like to go on Tuesdays for Taco Tuesday. I'm also a big fan of the burritos and nachos. You can easily split the nachos between two people, they are huge. \nI'm so happy a TFlatz opened near my house, that I really can't complain. I will happily get up to get my own drink refill just don't go anywhere my favorite chain Mexican restaurant.",
"Spontaneous visit as I had some time to kill before an appointment. This was my first Tijuana Flats visit and I was not disappointed. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door by the girl working behind the counter. I ordered my food, which she was very helpful to me and also patient since I was not really 100% sure how they operated. I took a seat at one of the tables and my food was brought to be shortly after. When they dropped off my food they asked if I wanted/needed anything else. The hot sauce bar was my next stop. There were about 12 selections (which for me is more than enough). My tacos were nice. All in all I was. Good visit. The good was good and it came out fast. The service was friendly, helpful and attentive. The location is small, but well maintained and clean. I will go back!!!",
"As fast food Mexican food goes, this place is great. They salsa bar is an awesome idea, and breaks away from the typical choices of; Mild, Hot, or Fire.\n\nI need to make it over there on a Tuesday for Taco Tuesdays. I always get Dos Steak Tacos. As Tijuana Flats goes it's a bit small.\n\nAnd the Cookie Dough Flautas are out of this world!",
"Definitely a good new addition to our neck of the woods. I don't know why it took me so long to visit since this location opened a few months ago, but I'm glad we stopped in recently. The dining room was clean and well kept, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our food was delivered promptly. The taco salads are insanely huge (gotta love the tortilla bowl too), and my husband was happy with his carnitas burrito. I'm sure we'll be back very soon!",
"My new found love! Tijuana Flats is everything and more that I would have expected. The food is absolutely awesome! The service is definitely the best I have ever received at any food establishment. The girls are very helpful with refilling drinks and create an inviting atmosphere. Tijuana Flats gets an A++"

"It's Peg's!! In the North Valleys!! The food is just as consistent as it is at all of the other locations, just in a shiny new building. The service is excellent and the wait staff seemed legitimately excited that see all of us from the North Valley branch of the FBC when we arrived. IM SO EXCITED!!",
"Peg's has opened in north Reno and it is firing on all cylinders! The food is wonderful, the prices are fair, and the staff is amazing, very nice, and care very much for their employer, which tells you something. I feel I'll be paying many visits to this location in the future!",
"My girlfriend and I came to Peg's on the first day it opened in Lemmon Valley, the service was absolutely fantastic. The food on the other hand was subpar. My girlfriend had the crab cake Benedict with no English muffin and it was ok. The only problem was something had WAY too much salt in it, and we like the taste of salt, but there was way too much. So I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs, which was just ok. The chicken fried steak had a great crispy coating and was tasty but the gravy had a strong taste of flour. I've had plenty of chicken fried steak and eggs, and biscuits and gravy in my day and I have never had gravy that only tastes like flour. Furthermore, about 3 weeks ago we ate at the downtown Pegs and it was about the same but even worst service. When we ate at the downtown Pegs, I ordered the classic eggs Benedict and one egg was poached perfectly and the other egg was over cooked. So, overall, I am unhappy going to Peg's glorified ham and eggs. I do not recommend the food. I'd rather go to PJ's & company. I have never been disappointed with the food or service at PJ's.",
"WOW! Just what this area needed is another Peg's you might say. My answer is YES IT DOES! This shopping mall in Lemon Valley was missing a sit down comfort food joint. \n\nUsually I'm game for any of Peg's Hawaiian plates. Good ahead judge me but I love me some SPAM!!!!!or a Moco Loco. This visit I went Mexican and got the Monterey Tamale Skillet. Yes, they served my meal in a frying pan. The tamale was excellent. The eggs were poached to perfection -- I wasn't thrilled that the eggs were placed in a bowl on my frying pan. The beans were good. The standouts on the plate: the slaw - you might not think it needs to be on the plate but it was crisp vinegary goodness and the pico de gallo was more like a chopped salad -- it had cucumbers in it which added a nice brightness and crunch. It's a stupid amount of food and I enjoyed every bite . \n\nThere's usually a wait to get in. I scored a seat at the counter. It's a large counter with plenty of room to eat. It's so large that the staff has to stand on the stool to clean it. The counter is the best seat in the house with the great view of the cooks and wait staff in action. You might be tempted to taste other people's orders (yes, you're that close you can snatch a piece of bacon off someone else's order) but don't try it the wait staff is on top of their game! \n\nBest of luck to Peg's in Lemon Valley.",
"Just as amazing as the original! The food is just as you would expect at any location. Friendly service, quick service and now close to home. The restaurant is VERY clean, with a typical pegs vibe.",
"New breakfast spot!! Great food and great price! Nice to see new things moving into the neighborhood",
"Having frequented several Peg's locations in the area over the last five years, we could hardly believe our good fortune when we saw the signage going up for a new location only two miles from our home. We stopped in today for lunch, just over a week after their opening day. The interior is bright and clean, more modern than the other locations, and deceptively larger than it would appear from the store front. But besides all the newness of the location itself, the restaurant hums like the well oiled machine of veteran cooks and servers. Servers were cheerful, beverages kept full, and our food arrived incredibly fast. I usually dine at Peg's for breakfast, with corned beef hash being my go-to (it's real, home made corned beef hash, BTW, and it's amazing, unlike the stuff that comes from a can) but for lunch today I decided to have the Ruben sandwich, which is appropriately served on delicious marble rye, and it was everything a classic Ruben should be. We've always loved Peg's, but love them even more now that they've come to our side of town.",
"Having frequently eaten at all the other Pegs, I was extremely excited to see this location open! Service was good and staff was quite friendly and attentive. The food was good but I would have to say not as good in preparation and quality as the other locations. Nevertheless I always love Pegs",
"Okay, so. My eggs were cold, my sausage patty was half cooked. The Lemmon Valley locale needs some work. I'll give it another chance in a month or so. Cook seemed to have an attitude. Several people sent food back and he was rolling his eyes. I was tempted to send my cold eggs back but was in a rush. I sat at the counter so was in good position to see the action /attitude",
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they are already crowded, but I am very happy to have a great breakfast option in the North Valley's. They are always a good breakfast option, and the service is excellent as always. The only reason I am not giving them five stars is that I've always thought the food quality could be better, but despite that I will still be back.\nAlways a solid option for breakfast, just be aware that there is always a crowd."

"Have had pizza from here a couple of times before, sat in for the first time this weekend.\n\nThis is a breath of fresh air in the area. We don't get too many \"trendier\" places in our small town, so Anthony's is a nice change of pace. You get a sports-pub-like atmosphere with some great food and service. The staff is always friendly and helpful and efficient.\n\nThe pizzas here are done well (sometimes a bit too burnt on the crust edges), and there is a good variety of toppings that go beyond take-out fare. One of my new favorites is the broccoli rabe and sausage pie. Lots of veg and lots of sausage loaded onto the pizza. The crust is thin but thick enough to give you that bite.\n\nWe've gotten the Italian salad, which is actually pretty good - large cuts of tomato, lettuce, chickpeas, olives, and onion tossed in a vinegary dressing that isn't too overpowering.\n\nThe roasted wings here are also a great change from fried stuff. They come seasoned well and loaded with caramelized onions and focaccia. \n\nWill keep coming back for more eclectic pizza whenever I'm back home.",
"This is the first time I tried this place. I had been wanting to for a while. We had a large cheese pizza. Pretty good. Very crispy but I like crispy. Sauce had good flavor. Also had an order of the wings. They are baked not fried but nice flavor. But a little overcooked. We will go back again.",
"I've wanted to check this place out for a while to see what all the hub bub was about. So I stopped in for lunch. I told the waitress, Kristen, that it was our first time there and she was like, \"okay.\" Usually when you tell someone it's your first time, they welcome you and suggest things from the menu. She didn't and didn't really seem interested in anything I said. I checked out the menu and nothing even looked appetizing. I ordered the small order of meatballs. The meatball weren't that great but the sauce was yummy. The bread that came with it was just okay. The place isn't that big yet it had like 6 TVs. It was so loud it was hard to have a conversation with my guest. I have no interested in going here again.",
"One of my favorite places. Not the cheapest Pizza, but the quality of ingredients and taste are worth the extra cost. The wings are the reason I keep going back though. Usually do take out, but my dine in experiences have been good too.",
"Anthony's is a great place to grab a drink and a bite. I love sitting on the little enclosed patio with a fireplace at my elbow and delicious pizza in front of me. I've been there about three or four times, and I've had exceptional service every time. Yes, the pizza is \"well-done\" - expect it crispy and blackened, but truly delicious. (My favorite is the sweet italian sausage and broccoli rabe.) Their app menu may not be what you'd expect, but each choice is a yummy surprise. The wings are spicy-sweet with caramelized onions; not the traditional hot-sauce-slopped variety. Yes, it's pricey, but well worth it for a step outside the ordinary.",
"I think people have to know that the pizza is cooked in such a way that it will be almost burnt looking. I heard a lady complain about that once and I believe there is a sign that says almost what I just did! \nYou have to order something you really like or want to try. My favorite hands down is the ricotta and meatball pizza. I just love the combo. They offer a generous size salad to share that usually has hard-boiled eggs in it along with olives, etc. We enjoy their meatballs too. They are different than your regular pies, so if you want the basic pepperoni pizza, go to the corner joint. The bar area is always hopping. The movie memorabilia is fun too.",
"I've been here a couple of times, and would definitely continue to come back. It's a casual place with great pizza! But if you're a picky eater, be careful because their pizza is \"well done\", meaning a crispy crust. So if that's not your style you may not like it. However, each time I go I enjoy myself, the service, and of course the fabulous pizza. Each time I go the manager makes it a point to go to each table and check on everyone, which I love. One time, he came over to our table and noticed the pizza was a little more well done than usual, and he offered to have our pizza be on the house, and he gave us a free $25 gift card to come back. We weren't even complaining about the food at all! Great customer service, definitely how you get customers to come back and share their experience with their friends.\nAlso, if it's nice out definitely sit outside on the patio! It's a little more quiet than inside.",
"The reason why I am writing you is because I usually do not write negative things about restaurants or their employees, however my experience on May 11, 2013 at 7:00PM was one that I should share with you and your team. (By the way, you might want to pass this email along to someone that will be answer to it, due to your contact page on your website not working right)\nMy family really likes going to your Pike Creek, Delaware establishment for lunch and dinner, this time we chose to order over the phone for takeout. We showed up at the time that we were supposed to show up and they said that we must have called another establishment located in Delaware. That being said, due to Google giving me the wrong location phone number, I made a mistake and should have realized that there might be other locations in Delaware.\n I asked how long it would take for them to make the order for us at this location...they said it would take twenty minutes and I said ok I will wait...well wait I did, it took fifty minutes to make the pizza I ordered and when I received the pizza, I said to the manager that was working that night, I said to him that I was upset that it took longer than the time that I was given in the very beginning. He then in a very negative and poor attitude approach said that I should be happy to get this pizza and not have to pay for two, due to my mistake...I then got really upset with him and I said that was not the way to answer to patrons and that he needs to treat people a little nicer...he then gave me a negative comment, which I do not want to say and I just left your restaurant. He was the rudest manager or even worker that I have aver came across in a restaurant or business in my lifetime. \nI feel that the manager needs to be talked too and corrected.Since that encounter, I feel that I do not want to go back to your establishment, due to me feeling almost bullied that night in May.",
"Stopped by here yesterday evening with a small group. I have been here a couple of times in the past, and have never been disappointed. Last night was no exception. The pizza comes out with the crust slightly \"charred\", which gives it a unique taste. Also, the wings are excellent. They are baked with a great seasoning and cooked along with some caramelized onions. Not the cheapest pizza around, but well worth the money.",
"busy place, service was fast pizza was ood hat the hot pepper and saugage pie...they do \nmean hot peppers they were hot...just wish they would of cleaned the seeds out 1st..personal prefference suprised got a ice tea and it was in a bottle of tea ( coke makes them) not fresh\nbrewed.."

"This is where we order our pizza. No other place. Excellent food, fast service, and for us, walking distance to pick up our food. Can't beat that!",
"Great local pizza. Way better than any chain like Pizza Hut. Good portions, pretty quick service usually and reasonable prices although not the cheapest in town. Some of their menu items such as strombolis are a little bit more than other local joints, but nothing unreasonable, plus the food is of good quality and worth it. One of my favourite local pizza places, along with Pizza Party down the street.",
"Beyond the plain exterior, there awaits great food to the customer. After a solid day of home DIY remodeling, we were hungry as heck. And Chinese food twenty times in a row was getting boring. So we decided on Italian. There was a menu flyer stuck in a drawer so we called for a pickup order. Glad we did. Some of the best pizza outside of NY or Chicago. \n\nThe storefront is really plain, and entering, one is greeted by friendly staff. The tattoos on the guy's arm made me a little weary, but heck, this is a blue collar area, so I gathered that came with the territory. The pizza, however, was piping hot and absolutely delicious. There will be many returns here.",
"Great Place, atmosphere,FOOD, friendly staff well worth the visit!!\nGood prices this will be our new go to food place. Excellent Italian food!!",
"Not the best pizza I have EVER eaten, but pretty darn good! I've only ever ordered takeout or delivery from here, so I can't speak to the eat-in experience, but I've been very happy with the takeout. Delicious, homemade crust and sauce. Doesn't arrive with a film of grease on the cheese. Nice flavor.\n\nMy husband and I have always patronized Coco's, mainly because Coco's is better known in our area. With the plain, uninviting exterior we were loathe to try Abbruzzi, but one night when my brother was over, we gave it a whirl because he's not a fan of Coco's pizza. I'd call this a permanent switch. The pizza and prices are better than Coco's, and the service is fast!",
"My GF and I pass through Chester 2-3 times/yr. We discovered Abruzzi two years ago and make it a point to order take-out from them at least once (and often a couple times) per visit. Their pizza never lets us down -- delicious sauce (not too sweet/not too salty), fresh cheese and veggies, and thin, crispy crust.",
"I am originally from North Jersey and upon moving to Southeastern PA for college, I learned nearly every pizza place I went to tried to pass off \"square\" pizza as \"sicilian\" pizza. .......That is not sicilian. Abruzzi, however, understands!! Not only do they know how to make a sicilian, but it may be one of the best sicilian pizzas I have ever had. Their freshly made pizza sauce is absolutely delicious - we get an order of a small container of sauce on the side every time we get any kind of pizza from there; their sauce is phenomenal. Their regular pizzas are just as good and their sizes are perfect. Their service is always great and their food is always done in a timely fashion. I have introduced many of my friends to Abruzzi and no one has been disappointed. Sadly, my husband and I moved from this area and have been hard pressed to find ANYONE who even knows what a sicilian pizza really is. Abruzzi, has anyone ever tried to freeze your pizza? I will make the 1 1/2 round trip to you and stock them up in my freezer.\n\nAll in all, I absolutely recommend!!! This is the kind of place against which you judge all other pizza places and usually fail to find comparable pies. Get the sicilian and get some sauce on the side!",
"I have driven by here many times as it is near the intersection of Brookhaven Rd and 352. The 4.5 rating sucked me in. So did the best pizza award posted on the magnetic marquee. I really like Sicilian pie but can never find a good one. I ordered one here and will have to say that I am still looking.\n\nI like my half plain while my dining partner likes stuff on their side. On this particular occasion it was pepperoni, sausage and black olives. The cheese was pretty light, even on my side. The pepperoni was thrown on after the fact - no signs of it cooking in the oven. The precooked sausage was not warm and you would think that for an eat in pie it would be screaming hot. It wasn't. I'm guessing this was a reheat with stuff thrown on. Most important for any pie is the crust. It's got to be chewy with some bite. This tasted like it was made with cake flour - light and airy. I grew up in the NY area and I have NEVER tasted a pie like this. Not good.\n\nService was just ok. They drop the pie off at the counter with a spatula for you to pick up and take to the table It wasn't even cut through to the bottom. \n\nThe curiosity is gone, and so are the stars.",
"Pizza very good. Really good ingredients. Had pizza and mozzarella cheese sticks only and they were great. Definitely recommend",
"I was drawn to this place by positive reviews, but was fooled again. Still can't find a decent pizza place in Delaware County. Their pizza had minimal toppings, not much cheese with lots of grease on the bottom. After eating a little I trashed most of the pie since I'm not fond of oily bottomed crust. Much better pizza available in Philly."

"The BEST french fries, pasta, and pizza at Villanova. If you haven't been there you really are missing out. I lived within walking distance for 2 years and ate there almost every weekend. The people that work there are always friendly too. Don't try to eat there though, there's only one table and it's wicked awkward.\n\nAlso they've got great Super Bowl packages, perfect for big groups.",
"The real deal. Best pizza in the bryn Mawr, Haverford, Ardmore area hands down. Not a place to sit and eat but people are nice and prices reasonable.",
"Poor service! I decided to give this place one last chance and I was disappointed again. The food is pretty good but the service is very uneven. If you get the 60ish gentleman or the woman, you're lucky. They are two of the sweetest people around. The others close whenever they want and decide an hour early to only cook what they want to cook. They offer no explanations or apologies but are generous with the attitude.",
"Love, love, love Lovecchio's!!! \n\nThe pizza is delicious, light and fresh with just the right crust. Simple, but magical. \n\nWe normally order late night after class and the workers know us by name. If you're looking for a great local pizza place, Lovecchio's will change your life!",
"Worst food and service in Bryn Mawr, move onto the next place!",
"great pizza. they have been consistent for years. any time I am in the area they are my go-to for pizza",
"Lovecchio's is pretty standard pizza. Greasy, filling, chewy crust, big slices, ample red sauce... everything you'd expect from a go-to pizza place. \n\nThe staff is pretty friendly, and once when their credit card machine wasn't working they gave me $1 off because I went to get cash. As others have said it's right next to a beer distributor, so if you're looking for pizza and beer you really can't go wrong. \n\nOverall this is not the kind of gourmet pizza place you go for specialty artichoke-mushroom-goat-cheese combinations, but it's a place you find yourself gravitating towards for an easy take-home dinner option. If you save 10 of the cut-out coupons on the boxes you get a free pizza, which I have yet to accomplish. Too bad I still can't pronounce \"Lovecchio's.\"",
"Consistently good pizza. It's New York style, sauce is solid, cheese is fresh, pepperoni has some spice to it. And I like the people who work there. It's the best pizza of its kind in the area. The sandwiches are above average pizza shop fare too.\nthere are a few seats if you're so inclined but for me, this is a take-out joint. I'm happy to have them in the neighborhood.",
"Because I'm both car-less and lazy, this review only pertains to my experience with delivery. \n\nI've ordered Lovecchio's pizza by way of GrubHub on a number of occasions. The delivery guys have always been friendly and good-humored, even with my inability to provide useful directions to the entryway of my apartment complex, which typically results in the unlucky employee taking a labyrinthine journey around the building. The food has always arrived rapidly, in a fresh and piping hot state - to the point I'm almost convinced they've built ovens into their cars so they can hang outside your dwelling and cook your order there. There's clearly no other logical explanation.\n\nPizza is the usual semi-greasy, thin crust type you'd expect from a local, no-frills pizza joint. While I've had pizza I've enjoyed more from other pizza places, Lovecchio's is overall a solid choice for a quick and satisfying delivery pizza on the Main Line.",
"Easily the best pizza on the mainline -- thin, crispy crust with a delicious tomato sauce. You really don't even need to play around with toppings as a large cheese pie will do the trick. Haven't checked out the sandwiches but the word around town is that they do a killer meatball and chicken parm hoagie. \n\nDelivery can be a bit slow at times but you might as well go pick up as they are located next to bryn mawr be. Grab a large pie and a case of natural light beer and you are set to go."

"**this review is for the Passero's at 18th and JFK. Oops, I mis-read the address. Is Passero's even there anymore?**\n\nI worked in this building for 3 years, and I was most certainly a regular at Passero's. The staff there was always so nice, took the time to chit-chat, got to know you by name and remembered what your \"usual\" was ---even sillies like me who tend to switch up their \"usual\" every so often. These folks were ON!\n\nThe coffee was yummy, as were their muffins. I moved out of Philly in 2005, so it's been awhile. I hope the place hasn't changed much.",
"I'm excited Passero's is back! The caramel mocha ($3 for 12 oz) is very, very strong. I could barely open my eyes when I ordered it and 1 hour later I feel like the energizer bunny. Good thing I ordered a small!\n\nI also picked up a locally baked, vegan, gluten free pumpkin pistachio muffin ($3). It sounded good at the time, granted I was half asleep. I excitedly brought it to the office to share with a coworker, but it turned out to be possibly the worst baked good I've ever tasted. I'm embarrassed I shared it and think I may have lost a friend! It was bland, salty and slightly bitter. Play dough comes to mind. \n\nFriendly service and terrific coffee. Right now it's cash only, but I think they're working on that.",
"1. Passero's just reopened and I went for my morning latte. Their coffee is good, strong and definitely not bitter. They have a nice bar with all the fixins and I hear rumors they serve lunch.\n\n2. Service was SO fast (forget spending 15 minutes in line at Starbucks!) but maybe because I was the only one there. They promptly made my drink and...even gave me suggestions on how to improve it. \n\n3. They're friendly. Maybe too friendly. I'm not one to sit and chat with the barista when I have to go to the office, I just want to grab a coffee and go. If you decide to visit, just follow the smell of fresh roasted beans and the sounds of Frank Sinatra wafting through the station. They play him really, really loud.",
"Passero's reopened a month or so ago... Being that I usually ride my bike to work entirely through winter I would have never noticed had the snow not nixed that. Now every morning after getting off the EL and walking to Comcast Center I am totally tempted as I walk past them. I can usually resist 3 out of 5 of my work days...but I let myself give in on two. They have great coffee and ever changing roasts available. I believe you have 4 different choices of coffee that change daily. I always go with the organic choice they offer daily because it always sounds the most appealing. Today I'm drinking the Guatemalan blend... so good. I haven't tried any lattes yet but I'm going to add it to my list and splurge one day soon. \n\nI also can't forget to mention that everyone that works there is extremely friendly and chipper. The service is stellar and quick, I don't understand why anyone would wait in line and the many Dunkin Donuts when they can just come here for a better product served by people that enjoy what they're doing. They also sell soups at lunch that I haven't tried but bet are delicious. Usually I'm kind of creeped out by the food places in suburban station, you know because its so dirty down there...but I love Passero's...its become my new coffee place for the time being.",
"Here's a little update to say... I may have been a little mixed up in my last review. \n1. Passero's is consistently hoppin now and there's always a line, but that doesn't seem to slow down the service. \n2. Every time you stop for coffee there you see someone you know.\n3. They're just genuinely nice people that want to get you your coffee super fast and for super, super super cheap. (I'm talking $3.20 for a coffee and bagel with cream cheese. YUM)",
"This is (again) the best commuter-focused, independently owned coffee shop in Center City. Jeff has figured something out here - I don't know what it is, but it works. The word quality comes to mind; the products and the service are the best! I missed them when they were gone and I'm overjoyed that they're back. This is the best part of the work day for me.",
"If COFFEE is what you are after, this is the place. Real pure bean varieties well brewed and at the right temperature. I miss the old locations. Now you can find Passero's on the concourse at Suburban Station and in the Wanamaker Building. The service is quick and friendly.",
"I have liked my last 2 stops with these guys. The coffee is good like my old coffee shop and the staff is friendly. They offer suggestions. I really like this place. The one i went to was in suburban station.",
"Great coffee. I usually get the daily varietal, which is consistently excellent no matter which one they're serving. So is the house blend. And if you really need a jump start, their French Roast is seriously strong.",
"Free wifi, takes credit cards, friendly - not fake - service with a smile, and some pretty serious coffee. Definite upgrade!\n\nI'm hooked on their pumpkin bread & espresso drinks. \n\nI bought a reusable mug - very large - and Passero's donated the proceeds to local charities. Now I have an eco-friendly cup that comes with a discount every time I get a refill.\n\nThe coffee here is still amazingly strong. It's the perfect swift kick in the behind that I need to get moving during these brisk winter mornings."

"I love this place! the grilled chicken tropichop is soooo good!\nthey make awesome grilled chicken Caesar salads too.\nMy family loves when I bring this home!!\nIt means, \"Chicken on the Grill\"\nYUM",
"I'm so happy there is a Pollo Tropical in the area now! yummo! Where else can you get 1/2 a chicken and 2 sides for 6 bucks? They also have great sauces, a Guava BBQ and Curry Mustard that I love!",
"Unfortunately you can't leave a no star rating.This place is a crap hole. The food is actually fairly good, but the customer service is awful! One of the workers in particular is a comple a$$hole. We went through a couple of week ago, and the person was rude over the intercom, rude at the window, glared at us while we were leaving the window, gave us no silverware, no straws, no napkins. Keep in mind that this is a fast food restaurant. No silverware, napkins or straws? How are you supposed to eat fajitas with no silverware? This place is ridiculous.",
"Short and sweet! All the good things said about this chain is spot on. In fact, I think it is the best of show for all fast food places. I would kill for the yucca alone. the black beans and yellow rice are tasty and good for you! The pork was so moist and yummy! Their bowl dishes are more than enough for me...and I used to chow down big time. Obviously, I've been lucky as I have never had bad service at this location.",
"I'm no longer a fan! Haven't had Pollo Tropical in a while and decided to to swing through the drive thru quickly. Ordered the pork with one side. I asked for sweet plantains and was told those were extra. Fine... so I ordered the yellow rice with black beans and the side of plantains. Drove away and looked in the bag and didn't see the plantains. Called the # from the receipt and they forgot to give me the plantains but didn't charge me. ok... was really looking forward to them...oh well. Started eating and was not impressed. Black beans tasted kind of funky...like medicine taste. Pork was somewhat \"watery\" and fatty and yellow rice was just ok. By the time I drove home my stomach was starting to turn.\nNever again unless just to get a side order of plantains.",
"The drive-thru is always quick and easy. I really enjoy the tropichop when they get my order right, which they do 9 times out of 10. On this particular occasion, I asked for a side of the spicy poyo poyo sauce and was disappointed when I got home and it was not in the bag. The food is pretty good, but not as flavorful as a real sit down restaurant (not like a fast food chain). For the price, it's a pretty good value.",
"First let me say that I'm not a fan of chains normally and specifically fast food chains, but I've been a fan of Pollo Tropical since randomly trying it while on vacation in FL over 4 years ago so I was excited to try the Oldsmar location and introduce my parents to some of the best fast food I've had. We came during an off hour (in between lunch and dinner) so it wasn't crowded at all. We were served promptly. After ordering, we headed to our seats and were immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the place. This has got to be the cleanest fast food restaurant I've ever been to. The food was even better than I remembered and I LOVE the bar of sauces, salsa's and toppings. Our service was friendly and prompt, our food was good and the place was spotless.",
"Came here for lunch and it was a pretty good experience overall. Place was fast, clean and well run. \n\nI had the half chicken with tomatoes in balsamic and fries. Chicken was grilled and a little dry but had good flavor. Tomatoes were really good. Potato wedges seemed like they we under a heat lamp for a while.\n\nSauce and salsa bar was clean and had a lot of choices.",
"Dear sweet Pollo Tropical why don't I eat with you more often? There's no denying my Hispanic heritage when you are around! I love to use your creamy black beans as sauce mixed with your cilantro mayo. I don't think there's anything you offer that I wouldn't rip apart in seconds. You sammiches are fresh, if a bit small, but you serve beer, and sangria. I don't care that you are a chain because every time you have done just fine.Your staff is friendly, your restrooms clean, and even your sauce station which is a disaster of modern engineering is impeccable. Hasta luego my fine feathered friend!",
"Love, Love, Love! This restaurant will never disappoint know matter what you order. Today I had the make your own mix thing I got the regular portion for $6.50 and could only eat half of it before I was stuffed. Best spanish food short of a \"Ma and Pop\" Puerto Rican restaurant. If your hungry and pass a Pollo Tropical you should definitely stop and eat. BTW they have this garlic creamy sauce that is absolutely to die for!!!"

"I am a pizza fiend! Have been ever since I was a little kid. Unfortunately I have the body to prove it. \n\nFor me, Pizza is either with just cheese or with pepperoni so you need to understand this review in that context. \n\nWhen I was in college my favorite was Domino's. When I got them I used to purposely order early and then go pick it up so that it would sit on th etop of the oven for a while and develop a nice crunchy crust. Yeah, its THAT serious.\n\nThat was of course before conveyor ovens and that marshmallowy fast-rising crust that they use now (and Domino's has seen a steady decline of market share since...HMMM)\n\nSo when moving to Philly I needed to find a good pizza that had that tangy sauce and a flavorful, crispy crust made in a place that looked like the health department came by from time to time. \n\nThat place is King of Pizza. Its just about the only place I'll go",
"talk about getting a bang for your buck, I ordered a buffalo chicken salad and it was great the portion was enough for two and the chicken was so good i ordered, hot wings to go. Yeah i know i should have ordered the pizza but, i needed a reason to come back. No skimping at this joint, good food at good prices and good service, defiantly thumbs up.",
"Such fond memories of coming here back in the 90s. My dad would bring my brother and I here almost every Friday night. Their pizza is pretty kick-ass. Although I don't have a concrete favorite pizza place in South Jersey, they are definitely within the top 3. I would definitely recommend getting the sausage pie! Their sandwiches are also very good and their fries are always blazing hot! Oh and how can I forget their wings? I'm always a little skeptical getting wings from a pizza place, but the King's wings share the throne! We don't go to King as much as we used to, but we do order take-out every now and then. For some reason, it always tastes MUCH better when you eat it there. KIng of Pizza truly does live up to its name.",
"This place is great... The service here deserves 5 stars by itself. The ladies that work the counter and take orders at the tables are extremely nice and attentive. And not in just an \"it my job\" kind of way. They genuinely want to ensure that you not only enjoy your meal, but they also have some great conversations with you. The pizza there is outstanding, along with their salads, wraps, and sandwiches. But what I really like there is their homemade soups that is made fresh daily. I don't live remotely close to this business. But it is where I drive to when I'm in the mood for some great soup and a salad. My wife turned me on to this place several years ago when she was working in the area, and we've been going ever since. This is a must try place for pizza.",
"YUM.\nLove going here for slices when I'm in the area. The sausage is a weird kind, like sliced pieces not crumbles or even pepperoni slices-type. The veggie is SO garlicky and delicious. The white is meh. And the plain is great. Expect to spend $8 for 2 slices and a medium soda. Don't forget CASH ONLY!",
"Great margerhita pizza! What a wonderful surprise that was. I must also say I enjoy the sausage pizzas here because they're not crumbled bits of sausage bit slices. Lastly, I have to say their wings are very good. They are a nice choice and quite tasty. Almost as good as pic-a-lili inn's wings if you're familiar with them. They have a different taste but are up to par with the flavorful kick you desire in wings. This place is definitely worth a try.",
"We ordered a pizza and a salad with chicken in it. We got the food and the pizza was correct but the chicken salad had no chicken in it. Oh well people make mistakes. I called to get the order corrected and was given a reimbursement. That was positive and should have ended there. But the gentleman on the phone spoke broken English and was hard to understand so I asked him to repeat himself. He then became rude and began to explain what a credit is. In an extremely condescending manner. Ok I let it go and continued to be polite. I was put on hold and when I was taken off they must have not known because I could hear $2.50 being repeated in the background and some laughter. ($2.50 being the reimbursement) I understand that people talk behind others backs but please try to do it when your not able to be heard. If your the owner of this establishment and happen to read this try to teach your employees the art of tact and some professionalism. I get that will be a hard goal to accomplish with employees making minimum wage and no possible future in sight but it is something to take into consideration. To sum it up, King Of Pizza could have the best food around (although it does not) but you couldn't pay me to return as a customer. For me the way people are treated by a restaurants staff is just as important as the food. So King Of Pizza, you can hold on to my $2.50 and your sub standard fast food.",
"I was here for the first time in a couple years last night. The manager was very friendly and had as laughing. We ordered a lg sausage pizza and it only took like 8 mins to cook. They put so much sausage on the pizza it was amazing. The cannolis were also very good. Will def return soon.",
"The food is spectacular. Pizza is always very, very hot and ready to eat. Sides are delicious and much better than what a lot of other pizzerias offer.\n\nThe only problem, and the reason for the loss of a star, is the service. It used to be pretty good, but recently, it's gonna down in quality.\n\nI recommend coming on a Sunday afternoon. The waitresses that work then are always welcoming and pleasant.\n\nBut the food is worth it! Go just to experience it!",
"Best Wings ever OMG I always get the mild but they have a little spice to them. The pizza is very good its very clean and the girls who work there are sooo nice and friendly."

"It's great for the price, but is very basic. Good basic sushi and also has a few vegetarian friendly options. I go there so often that they know me, which is a little sad. At least they know I always want water and chop sticks.",
"This is a very standard Chinese buffet. Not great but not bad.\n\nThe food is a little greasy, but that's typical of a buffet. The interior is not super nice but it's clean. The service is spotty, but it's a buffet, right?\n\nDo you get the idea this is a pretty run-of-the-mill Chinese buffet?",
"One of our favorites. Nice Mongolian BBQ and friendly staff. Food is fresh and tasty.",
"I stop here frequently on my way home from work and get carry out. \n\nReasonable prices. Better than other buffets in the area. \n\nGood mix of sushi, trad buffet Chinese and a few American items for the kids. \n\nNothing to write home about but a very decent Chinese buffet. Friendly staff.",
"We've been here a few times. The food is consistent and pretty flavorful. The dishes actually taste different vs. just the same sticky sweet taste over various proteins and veggies. The veggies in the dishes are crisp and fresh. There's a good variety of stir-fried or sauteed dishes. It's a nice change from everything being deep fried. (I'm not saying this food is good for you, it's not.)\n\nThe staff are nice and keep drinks full. \n\nThe last time we went here was a weekday evening. We dropped a vehicle off for service and decided to stop in. The buffet was full and hot, but the problem was that all restaurant guests were shoved into one small section of the dining room. \n\nMy assumption is that they wanted to keep the other side clean and use less staff, but it was cramped, loud and hot. In a plate service setting, I'm sure it would have been different, but everyone in this room had to get up and go to the buffet. There was no avoiding bumping into each other or having people bump into the back of your seat. \n\nWe were about to visit the buffet for a second time when a couple with two screaming children were seated immediately next to us. \n\nWe decided to cut our losses and head home.",
"The food has a good taste to it and there is an outstanding assortment including lots of dishes with fresh looking veggies. But after 4 visits I'd have to say the food could really be a lot hotter, the breaded chicken for sweet and sour is almost cold at times.\n\nThe service is attentive and you won't lack for drink refills.",
"We went here for lunch on Sunday. We hadn't been here for a few years. The food was room temperature and was not up to the usual standard. The restrooms were nasty and one of the waitresses kept dropping the silverware on the floor and still using it. Even their fish tank was filthy! We will not be back!",
"Took a client for lunch meeting. The hostess was great, sat us in the back so we could have some peace. \n\nThe floors, chairs and tables were all sticky and greasy, basically dirty. I had to clean the table myself after asking the waitress and she didn't speak enough English to understand me. \n\nThe food was so-so. The only thing we both liked was the cantaloupe, which was fresh and ripe. The tea tasted like mud. The salmon was cold and greasy. The wontons were so dried out that they required being soaked in the greasy broth for a while before you could eat them.\n\nThen, once I got home the trouble started. Cramps and many bathroom visits. I called my client and he had the same problem. We got food poisoning from this place. Never again...",
"Some days could be better. I was there on a Sunday at prime time and no one was there. it was dead and the food was not good. $12.00 on Sunday for this?? Oh no, never again. If you eat the raw oysters you will regret it. Why do they place those out? I could smell them from the other side of the building. I've eaten worse but not that bad!",
"Awful! Food was not up to temp at all. Some of the items on the salad bar were not fresh at all. The pineapples for instance weren't even yellow...almost white and very soft. The buffet is NOT varied for vegetarians. No stir fried veggies, no veggie spring rolls. A real bummer. The place wasn't clean. Dirty bathroom, dirty floors, and dirty dishes. The silverware was clean but looked absolutely dreadful."

"Great neighborhood bakery and cafe. Breakfast, coffee, espresso and good soup, salad and sandwich options for lunch. I usually order the Zena's special salad or the vegetable pannini. Owner is Turkish, so expect good baklava.",
"I've never had a sit-down meal in Zena's, but my husband and I adore picking up their fresh baked goods to eat at home. A must-try are the croissants. The best I've ever had and large enough that one is a nice breakfast. It's a little pricey, but for authentic European-style baked goods like their awesome croissants and crusty loaves of bread, there's no place better.",
"I had my birthday dinner at Zena's this year. They just started doing dinner services as I understand it, as they have recently expanded their space. There were 10 of us, and we basically had the place to ourselves. Sometimes they have a belly dancer, but not on the Saturday we were there. \n\nI highly reccommend the garlic shrimp! It came with mashed potatoes and braised carrots and parsnips which were excellent. The waiter was very nice and brought out wine glasses and champaigne flutes since we BYOBd. My friend said she thought that they need to work on the dinner service a little more since they wouldn't cut any of the cakes that weren't already sliced for dessert. We ended up ordering a whole fruit tart for everyone, and it worked out well. The price was very reasonable, and we all had a good time.",
"My father would tell me about this place constantly since a colleague of his would recommend it. Finally, I decided to give in and go there on my way home from work.\n\nWe ended up getting an assortment of many things (rugelach, cookies, cream puff, mini-eclairs). I tried most of the things we bought and they were all pretty good.\n\nThe patisserie itself is really awesome looking. I would like to come there one day for lunch or dinner and have a sit down meal.\n\nDefinitely worth checking out!",
"Zena's is hit or miss in my opinion. If you are buying cupcakes, cakes etc you MUST ask when they were made. They will leave items in the case that are a few days old. More then once I've had a not so fresh, dried out cupcake. Now I stick with the fresh that day items. Their coffee is really good.",
"tired of your local diner on the weekends? you need to check out Zena's just across the street from the RiverLine train station.\n\ni love to chill out in the back room with a well stuffed special omelette a cup of coffee and a newspaper. getting out without picking up their world class pastries to go is almost impossible. Zena's baked goods are second to none.",
"Zena's was very high quality. I went there to eat a meal and was very pleased. The portions are large and the food was very good with reasonable prices (most under $10, some under $5). It is very close to the Tacony bridge since I came from NE Philadelphia and in a cute little neighborhood. The building and interior are quite pleasant with a nice quiet crowd. The only thing that you may want to prepare for is that there are no waiters, the food is brought out to you though of course, and this actually saves you 20% off due to no tip necessary (although I am sure you could still tip if you like). This place is worth trying. PS: They are right the coffee was really good.",
"I go here for lunch, mainly. It's great! Best tuna sandwich by far in 20 miles or more. I buy my baked sweet goods here, on the occasions that I need them. Always outstanding.",
"I brought my family to enjoy Mother's day brunch. Waited 55 minutes for cold food that came out wrong four times!",
"Perfect setting, great selection, and nice people!! I am a junkie for small local cafe/bakery joints, so being able to grab a freshly made cup of coffee and enjoy a heart shaped cookie in a nice sitting is a dream for me!! I can not wait to return with my whole family for their breakfast!!"

"Good Venezuelan food, good place to chill and enjoy time with the family. Recommended !",
"Alma Llanera is fantastic! The place opened a few weeks ago and I have already tried most of their menu items. I had some Venezuelan food before, but nothing like this. Everything is homemade, even the cheese they use which happens to be my new favorite cheese. The sauces, garlic, spicy, and guasacaca (a green sauce, not spicy) are spot on. I can put enough of that garlic and spicy sauce on anything. \n\nAs I said I have gone though most of their menu, both breakfast platters, the arepas, (best I've ever had), the empanadas, the pastelitos, the cachapas, (sweet corn cake with a stuffing, such as shredded beef), roast pork sandwich, (fantastic peril at this place), some of their daily soups, (which they change everyday). I have also tried their plum Christmas cake, it was moist sweet, and delicious. \n\nThey also carry some baked goods, all I have tried are good and fresh, and they have a different daily special everyday which are very tasty. The asado negro is a good example, it is Venezuelan black roast beef, and it came with rice, sweet plantains and a house salad. I never had it before and it was full of flavor and love. The lasagna is also worth a mention. It's Venezuela style and we all loved it. It is somewhat different than most other lasagna out there, and I mean that in a positive way. It has ham, homemade sauce, ground beef, and of course delicious cheese, it's not as saucy as the usual and I personally loved that. I missed the lasagna special last week and the chef made one just for us. \n\nSpeaking of the chef and her family, they are the owners of this family business and they treat people with a lot of love. As I said before, they have only been opened a few weeks and they have made me feel like one of their family members. I have some health issues and she even offered to costum make some of my food to adjust to my needs. The staff is friendly and top notch. She also offered to make me anything I want. I give her a few days notice and done. They really treat their costumers with love. \n\nI can't recommend this place enough, if you haven't had Venezuelan food before you should go. Let me rephrase that, If you love food at all, you should try this place out. I'm very lucky to live relatively close to Alma Llanera.",
"We went for lunch today and this very well may be my new favorite place. I had the chicken soup and a chicken empanada. Both were extremely flavorful. The filing of the empanada was well seasoned and the dough is actually made with cornmeal, so it has a really interesting crunch. My lunch mates ordered a ton of different things, but the number 23, which was pork, plantains, tomatoes, cheese and avocado in between a split arepa was my favorite bite of the meal..thank goodness for friends who share!\nThe owner was working the front of the house. He was incredibly friendly and helpful. \nThe food came out hot and fresh and the sauces that get delivered to every table are fun to try. There is a garlic sauce (white), a spicy chile sauce (red) & an avocado sauce (green). I found that a mix of the chile and the avocado were a perfect addition to my empanada. \nRun, don't walk to go and check them out. I know we'll be back soon. And don't forget to get your empanada punch card!",
"My favorite here would be their Alma Llanera (23) with pork. So much layers of flavor! Also their empanadas are huge and made with cornmeal. Really delicious! I brought several of my friends here and they were glad I introduced them here.",
"Just experienced this place for the first time, and will be going back frequently! Empanadas made with cornmeal? Yes! Couldn't decide on lunch, so our group ordered a few things and shared. Family owned - they treat you like a neighbor. And they have strawberry Fanta! Will be filling out my frequent diner card their quickly.",
"Venezuelan food is one of my fave types of food as well as Peruvian, Vietnamese, and Brazillian.\n\nThis place did not disappoint whatsoever. We ordered an Alma LLanera - a sweet plantain Patacon - open faced sweet flat plantain with beef and tons of stuff on top like cheese and sour cream, and we liked the green sauce. The flavors were bursting. We also ordered the hen soup. That actually sounds good right now with the incoming cold front. It has shredded chicken, corn on the cob, potatoes, cilantro, and a few other veggies. This soup made us warm and happy. We washed them down with a passion fruit drink and a rice water drink with condensed milk.\n\nWe talked to one of the owners - Gabi! This is family owned, and her mom cooks all the food. It's definitely fresh and home made from the heart. The place is quaint and cute and the art work from the wall is a family friend's art work. They are on sale too.\n\nVenezuelan food in St. Pete area is here! Check it out and you will be happy you did. We love it!!!!!!!",
"Very happy to say that this place is delicious and the prices are even better. I had the alma llanera and it was sooooo good. I can't wait to go back",
"Very very tasty Arepas, Empanadas and cachapas. Friendly staffs. Definitely well recommended and I will back again. Also they have some snack products from Venezuela.",
"Great food and very authentic. I've eaten some good Venezuelan food in in NYC when I lived there, this ranks up there on flavors and quality. Highly recommend. We were in the area for vacation. If you have the craving for Arepas, it's worth the trip.",
"I just notice this restaurant in the hot and new section, my wife and I went. First of all, we are Colombian and Venezuela is our neighbor, how different could it be? Well we tried the empanada and besides being bigger, excellent! Then I ordered the pork Alma Llanera, wow wow! Be very hungry because I couldn't finish it. My wife had the arepa pabellon, she loved it. The prices were also amazing, if you are looking for something latino that is delicious, I strongly recommend this amazing place. Can't wait to try the other selections."
