"It's really nice having a Yolk on the northern side of downtown. This location is in the Salesforce Tower, and you actually have to go inside of the tower to get to them. The food was great, the service was outstanding, and, best of all, there was no wait. I assume once the word gets out that this will become a popular spot, but it was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet today.",
"My first visit to Yolk and I was anticipating the opening of a new place for breakfast near my office. They did not disappoint. Although a tad expensive for breakfast ($13), the food tastes of quality ingredients. My only thumbs down is I ordered my eggs soft scrambled, but they were scrambled hard. I had the Yolk All-Star Combo.",
"Great service and food is amazing! Zach was our server and is excellent. Coffee is incredible very strong with flavored creamer at the table. Atmosphere is clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back.",
"It was way to loud and the staff were yelling back and forth the whole time and it was not pleasant at all!",
"I have eaten here twice since it moved into our building, and I am very disappointed by the quality of their food, especially for the prices they charge. I have ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Both sandwiches had very little content. The cheese sandwich had a small glob of goat cheese in the middle, with most of the bread uncovered by any type of sandwich filling. The same was true of the bacon and tomato sandwich. There were about 3 half slices of bacon in the middle, two small tomato slices that were the hard tomato core. I tore off most of the bread from the middle portion. Also, the outer crust of the bread was tough as though it had been microwaved. I'm usually not given to complaints about food, but because the price of their food is high (over $10 for a sandwich), these sandwiches deserve attention. Very disappointed.",
"I was excited to see this Yolk location open up as it's close to my workplace. \n\nI keep on trying to like this place, but I've never been blown away by the food. I feel that for the price I'm paying, I should be receiving food that's better than just a regular diner. Alas, that is not the case. I will say that usually my food is okay, but today I ordered eggs over medium and the egg whites were still runny! I've never experienced that problem even at a cheap diner, and certainly didn't expect it here. \n\nI will say that the service has always been great, and my server was attentive and fixed my eggs quickly. \n\nSadly, I don't feel inclined to return. I would rather go get the same food at a cheaper diner.",
"Working downtown, I'm always on the prowl for new lunch options within a few minute's walking distance. After anxiously waiting for Yolk's next installment, located on the corner of Penn and Ohio in the Salesforce tower, I gave it a few weeks of opening phase madness before heading over with the SO.\n\nVisiting other locations in town, I already knew about Yolk's great selection of breakfast and lunch options. I opted for the Farm House: biscuits and gravy topped with eggs any style and breakfast potatoes. The SO went for the buffalo chicken wrap, and we decided to split a side of cheesy grits because cheese and grits. All of the food was on point as expected. I was impressed that they had a ton of hot sauce options, including a few of their own house sauces (which was delish).\n\nService was also great - immediately greeted and sat in a booth, our server was friendly and checked on us regularly, and the food came out about 6 minutes after we ordered. Checkout, handled up front like a diner, was a breeze. \n\nI'll have to try out their mobile order option and update my review, but all in all Yolk is a solid (albeit a bit pricy for what it is, costing them 1 star) option.",
"Mighty fine breakfast joint. I recommend my $7 custom combo of two eggs (side order) and ham steak (side order) ...you'll be more than satisfied as the ham steak is quite large. Try poached-soft on your eggs, they really nail it.\n\nIf you're feeling more fancy or spendy, they have excellent pancakes and very good French toast. The kids version of chocolate chip is (wonderfully?) heavy on chocolate, chips are both on top and in the batter. Same with the banana version, you do get your money's worth on toppings.\n\nLastly, the restaurant is super clean and the staff is awesome. They assembled a team of exceedingly friendly people here and they have made me feel very welcome each and every time.\n\nIn summary, Yolk is definitely worth your visit. If you think the menu looks a bit expensive, well, you're not wrong ... but by ordering items from the side items menu a la carte, you can easily satisfy hunger and still get out of here for well under $10.",
"My breakfast was simple - a bagel and cream cheese. They only had 2 types of bagels: plain and everything. The Bagel didn't even taste like a bagel.. more like bread. They also only had plain, full fat cream cheese.",
"Visit: 8/13/17 at 12:15PM\n\nFirst I would like to give a shout out to the wait staff we had. She did an excellent job and we were highly satisfied with our services. \n\nSuggestions that made our visit just okay. I got the chicken and waffles. Though it stated it had bacon in the waffle you could not taste it at all. I question if they even put any in it, though i could see some bites here in there it was not noticeable to the taste. The other suggestion would be to use more sausage gravy that comes on top. They only put enough to cover the chicken breast. \n\nMy girlfriend got the Cheesy egg sandwich and she reported that she was surprised it lacked a good taste and reported it was average. \n\nAlso the wait time was long for getting the food out. We had sat at the bar and it looked like the cooking staff was struggling the whole time to get food out in a timely manner. \n\nI also would have enjoyed if a manager walked around and asked how the meal was. This is something that a restaurant should do, especially a new one that just opened. \n**It should be noted had a manager asked how things were these suggestions would have been discussed in person. \n\nHopefully these suggestions help improve business. \n\nthanks"

"From my understanding, this is owned by the same person from Daily Juice, only now it's independent from the DJ network and more reflective of the owner's passions! I am looking forward to seeing any new changes in the menu, etc... and already love the interior changes of the store! the pro bowl is my favorite!",
"My go to place for breakfast and lunch when I am in town. Has all of my whole food options that I seek while on the road. My favorite is the bulletproof smoothie. I also love the kale spicy salad, and the coconut pudding is a must. Prices are what I'd expect for the quality of ingredients",
"Loved this place! I got the Dark Magic smoothie, which was so good! And the staff was extremely friendly and helpful on my first time here. The atmosphere was great, will absolutely be back!",
"Highly recommend, the green smoothies are excellent and there's a plethora of options that are also great.",
"Love the juices and the convenience of this place. They have lots of nice fresh made smoothies and salads too, so enjoy your health!",
"My favorite place to grab a smoothie or juice. The service is great, and they have amazing food items!! By far the best place for great healthy food/drink options!!",
"I'm pretty much obsessed with E+ROSE.. I come here several times a week on my lunch break as it's the only place close to my work with vegan and healthy options. The avocado toast is addicting and so is the bliss-30 bowl.",
"Y'all, E+Rose is Daily Juice Cafe. It's owned the same people. The layout and location is the same. The food offerings are the same. The juice/smoothie menu has changed a bit, but it's essentially the same place it was before - with a name change. If you liked Daily Juice, you'll like E+Rose. If you didn't, you won't. Personally, I really like their vegan salads (the spicy kale salad and the pad thai are my favorites). I look forward to trying their new smoothies and juices when I'm next in there. (Parking is still a bummer.)",
"I really like the Pro and Sobro bowls, they are really good and filling. I like that they offer fresh, clean foods and will continue to make this one of my frequent places to eat.",
"Really love the juices and smoothies! The staff was very helpful and let us sample a few juices so we could make up our minds. Quick service as well!"

"This is my husband's favorite pizza place... he literally raves about it and tries to get them to sell him the pizza sauce. I am not really a pizza place, but I love this place. Yummmm. If you go inside the decor is pretty cool.",
"Untouchables is a great little restaurant somewhat off the beaten path in Largo. It's a family-run restaurant that has been around for close to 15 years - at least that's how long I've known it to be in its current location.\n\nThey specialize in pizza and pasta, and they do what they do very well. I've eaten in, and also gotten food to go (carry out). You can tell that everything is made to order, and there's no pre-made food here. The calzones are big, fat rolls of cheesy, meaty, saucy goodness. I've also had the veal parmigiana, which was AWESOME. They use real veal, and are not skimpy about the portions. The veal is tender and very flavorful, complemented nicely by melted mozarella and very tasty red sauce.\n\nThe service we had was good - very friendly - and the decor of the restaurant is one-of-a-kind. I definitely recommend Untouchables for lunch or dinner fare. My only word of warning is that this is a cash-only establishment, so hit the ATM before you order or go!",
"Definitely would not recommend. They only take cash. Don't trust any business establishment that only takes cash. You can get cash through their ATM machine but they charge you several dollars to use it. The place was filthy. The bathrooms were disgusting. I had pizza. I would rate it along the lines of Pizza Hut (and that's no compliment) or maybe worse. Go to Christino's or Brothers if you want good pizza. Will never go back to this place.",
"Ok Pizza - bit $$$\nOrdered 2 small pizzas to taste a variety: The Windy City White (no sauce, ricotta, provolone and mozz) & the Godfather Special. Didn't really care for the Windy City White as the ricotta cheese threw me off but my friend loves cheese and he LOVED it. I preferred the Godfather special, quality toppings, thin crust, great!! Both pizzas were a bit on the greasy side but other than that it was fine. Would have liked some bread & dipping sauce before our meal but nothing was offered. Surprising for an Italian joint. (price range: $$ our bill was $37 kinda spendy for 2 small pizza pies)",
"Place is dressed up like a tourist trap. The food is no better than mediocre. I had the Veal Parmesan sub, it was okay. My wife had the Eggplant Parmesan dinner and she ate part of it then gave up. My son had a small Pepperoni pizza and said he likes CiCi's more...he is only 7 years old. I tried the pizza and as a previous review stated there are better pizza joints out there. And yes, they only take cash or you run your debit card like an ATM transaction and get charged ATM fees.",
"I have lived in Fla all my life and in Largo about 3 years. Always looking for a good pizza place and it doesn't get much better than Untouchables. I haven't tried a lot of their other stuff on the menu, usually just get a large thin crust, and it's great. Very friendly family atmospere, and reasonable prices. They pack them in there every night, I go there at least once a week.",
"For some reason, the plain cheese thin crust is my favorite. Really reminds me of this place I use to go to as a kid in the 'burbs of Chicago.",
"A tad too much butter in the bread/crust but it was leagues above the big chains",
"Went for the first time yesterday. The calzone was huge and really good with a great well done crust. The pizza was also very good. Prices were very reasonable and service was very good. We will definitely be back.",
"We had a large Godfather deep dish pizza as well as jalapeño poppers and the fried onion appetizer. This was Sicilian deep dish, which I gather is different from Chicago-style (what I'm used to, having lived there) and was essentially a pan pizza. I love pan pizza, so I was excited; however, I do not love sweet pizza sauces, and this was super sweet. I even heard another table remarking about how sweet it was just as I was getting disappointed. :/ \n\nThe theming is over-whelming. Pictures, newspaper articles, etc... litter the walls. It was so much that it went from being interesting and neat to overwhelming and cumbersome. The stained glass (Tiffany) overhang lights were nice and provided the perfect amount of light. \n\nThe service? Meh. Even though they were definitely not slammed, we had two different waitresses that both seemed to want to \"deal with us\" rather than interact and seem friendly. I don't think either of them cracked a smile."

"There is such a thing as great barbecue in Delaware! Really, you have to stop there and try it.",
"This is a small building in the corner of a parking lot but has fantastic BBQ. The ribs are very good. Also includes unique side dishes like sweet potatoes. We also enjoy stopping for a hotdog or sausage.",
"Best BBQ I have ever had!!!!! For 10 bucks you get a platter that easily feeds two. Russell is a nice guy and likes to have fun.",
"Russel's is top notch BBQ. I have not had anything better and as the rating says\"As good as it gets\"! The pulled pork is so tender and the sauce has the right amount of bite without being overly sweet.. The ribs were delicious and the rub was perfection. I've only had a few sides but the sweet potatoes were awesome.\n\nTo top it all off, Russell is a super nice guy and deserves your business! As I was sitting at the table eating, he walked over and dropped a few ribs on my plate right from the smoker. After that I asked about the sweet potatoes and he has kind enough to send a side home with me (gratis) for the better half. This is top-notch customer service rivaling that of the finest restaurants. Pairing that up with the quality of food and this place is tops on my all time list.\n\nSimply awesome.",
"A hidden gem in Delaware! Stationed across the street from Wal Mart, this place is unassuming and can easily be overlooked. However, don't let looks be deceiving! This is some of the best BBQ I've ever had! I've tried his pulled pork, chicken, and ribs all of which are cooked very well. I can't get enough of this place and crave it on the regular.\n\nNOTE: He sells out every day (a testament of how good he is!) and would recommend calling in advance to see what's left and what sides he has for the day.",
"Called up around 3pm...asked if he had enough for 4 people..was trying to feed a late night working crew..\n\nFirst timer....Russell is awesome..\n\nThe pulled pork is unbelievable. He gave us enough food for 20.. Cole slaw awesome..potato salad..awesome..\n\nThe Best Food in Wilmington....period...\n\nDon't be fooled by the shack...this guy has it going on...",
"I've eaten barbeque from here to Texas. Russel hold his own, and is a really nice guy. Get there early, he does often sell out of stuff.",
"I've been looking for good BBQ in my area for a while. I tried a few good places....then I came to Russell's. It had all 5 star reviews and the praises of people on Reddit. I drove to Russell's and got a Rib Sandwich. The amount of meat given was unbelievable (in a good way). On my drive home with my meal, I thought \"there is no way I can eat this all\". I was wrong. I ate every bite of food and immediately fell asleep for 45 minutes. It was so good, I'm actually excited to go back again. I'd also like to mention that Russell himself was incredibly nice and friendly. It just made the whole overall experience even better.",
"What a find! Amazing ribs and pork shoulder. Greens were perfect. A true Delaware gem.",
"Hands down the best BBQ in the area... Pulled pork, jerk chicken, sausage. Amazing! Greens and sweet potatoes done perfectly. Always sells out... Every day.\nBe sure to tell him you're a newbie."

"This place is a hidden gem in Alton. If you want an amazing sit down meal along with a good choice of spirits, wine, and beer then this is the place you need be! \n\nMy wife and I had dinner here on Sunday and it was great as always. My wife had the halibut special and loved it. Usually she gives me large portions when she wants me to try what she is eating but it was so good she would only give me a sliver. I had the stuffed pork chops which are panko encrusted and really good. \n\nThe atmosphere and service also make this a great place to go. The servers and bus people are very attentive. The view from the tables at the front window is of the Clark bridge which looks great lit up at night. During the summer that have an outside sitting area so you can enjoy the weather.\n\nIf you are looking for a place for a romantic dinner or just a good place to meet for drinks with some friends this is the place.",
"They have a main dining room that is a decent size with the tables nicely spaced and nice decor. Awesome view of the river and bridge. They also have a bar that seats about 10 with a few tables, that is secluded from the dining room. There is also a private room that fits about 10 and another larger banquet room, not sure on the size. \n\nWe came on the Friday after Thanksgiving with a 7 PM reservation for a birthday dinner for my brother in from San Diego. It was just the four oldest plus Jacki and my parents. We waited at the bar for the parentals. They had Schlafly on tap, currently Pale Ale and Coffee Stout. They also have Blue Moon and one other. Pale ale was my choice of drink for the evening,\n\nFor dinner I had the shrimp pasta. It was with linguini, artichokes, and tomatoes in a shrimp broth that was peppery and sooo good. The shrimp was the best I have ever had shrimp. I haven't liked shrimp for too long, but it was awesome. Jacki had the filet that was requested medium well and came out more medium. It was seasoned really well. It came with bleu cheese potatoes that were interesting in a good way. The spinach was pretty plain. Barry also had a filet he ordered medium rare, and it was rare. He enjoyed it none the less. James and Chas had the Aunt Jayne's Chicken that they both said was a little spicier than they thought it would be, I believe it said lightly blackened. I should have gotten a try of that. The Greek salad was pretty standard, but got the job done. The bread is served with an herb butter that is very good. \n\nOur server was excellent and our meal was nicely paced with the decent sized group. She brought out a pumpkin crepe even though we didn't order any dessert. The bartender was a good friend of Barry's who told the waitress. She even took a picture for my mom. Drinks were always being offered and waters were kept full. There was an awkward glass filling towards the end but it provided a good laugh. \n\nNice place to celebrate special occasions or people...",
"I came here for my birthday and was just amazed with the atmosphere. \nThe staff were all kind, polite and above all were very sincere people. I have never felt more welcome in a restaurant. In the age of the turn and burn service these great people still work hard to make sure every single person has a truly wonderful experience. \n\nThe wine list was superb and the server was quite knowledgeable about the selections. The pairing with our meal was just perfect. \n\nOh yeah, they had food too. From the spanakopita, with a delightfully rich sauce, to the spicy horseradish accenting the peppercorn Ahi Tuna and delectable roasted pear dessert, not one plate left anything to be desired. \n\nIf you are looking for an off the chart dining experience, you would be well served visiting Gentelin's.",
"We dine here frequently and have always been extremely pleased. Highly recommended!!",
"I still can't get over the fact that such a great restaurant actually exists in Alton. What a jewel! The service is great ... the staff are helpful, friendly and attentive without being pushy. And the food? Every single item I've had there has been perfect, and I don't use that word lightly. The salads alone are worth your time -- the greens were so fresh I was convinced they fresh picked them from a garden out back. Great drink selection with no stinting on the alcohol. Food, service, ambiance were all pitch perfect at each visit. It's not cheap, but it isn't a budget breaker, and considering the quality of the food, it's actually a good value. Did I mention how amazing the food is? From appetizers to salads to entrees to desserts -- it's making me hungry just thinking about it. \n\nI consistently recommend it to people -- because I'd absolutely hate to see it fail from lack of business; but it seems to be capable of holding its own.",
"We dined here for a family birthday dinner a few weeks ago and for my first time being there, I was NOT impressed. \n\nEvery single person in our party who ordered soup got it and it was cold around the edges (hinting it had been microwaved -- not how I want my clam chowder). Three people in our group had to send their entree's back due to them not being cooked right, being burned or being just plain not cooked. Our drinks spent most of the evening being empty and when the person in our party called to make the reservation, they had told us we could utilize their private room, which was empty. We got there and were put at a bunch of tables (that we had to wait to be pushed together) right in front of the door, which was VERY cold. The room was empty and the hostess wasn't sure why we weren't seated in there for a party of our size. \n\nWe may or may not go back....not sure.",
"Went for closed party so didn't experience restaurant during open hours. Great presentation on cannelloni. Salmon with cous cous was in a red sauce, not a big fan of that combo. NY Strips looked great.",
"By far the best fine dining in Alton. Its good but not amazing, and they do care about what is on your plate. Albeit they do not always execute it to perfection, i.e. steaks not cooked to temp, overcooked tuna, but its not far off, just not perfect for fine dining, hence the 4 instead of 5..The staff rocks, and they handle a large group perfectly. They have a good wine list, any drink you want, solid deserts, and great salads. Its laid back, quite, and just a solid place to eat in a town not known for culinary greatness. It stands out, so stop being a snob and go eat here.",
"While our waitresses, Tammy, was a bit pretentious, the food was AMAZING. My husband had the crab cake appetizer and I CANNOT wait to return to eat them again! The bussboy was incredibly friendly, which made up for our waitress. Jake had the fillet and I had the pork loin...both incredibly amazing. This restaurant is a little gem! We will return.",
"My boyfriend and I came here for my birthday dinner and we both loved it! I am a vegetarian and my boyfriend chose it specifically because there are some great vegetarian options.\n\nWhen we arrived, we were seated right away. Our waitress was very nice and attentive and I liked the clean, modern decor. I ordered the goat cheese salad for an appetizer and my boyfriend got the caesar salad. I absolutely LOVED my salad; it was delicious. I love salads with dried fruit, nuts, and goat cheese and this salad did not disappoint. My boyfriend also really enjoyed his caesar salad. We also received warm rolls with our salads that were served with a garlicy butter that was very good.\n\nI ordered the tofu steak for my entree and I really enjoyed it. It came with rice and vegetables and a good soy-sauce type of sauce. I liked that it was light and tasty and the vegetables seemed very fresh. My boyfriend ordered the filet and he absolutely DEVOURED it. It came with steamed spinach and a blue cheese potato au gratin that was to die for. My boyfriend can be very picky about his meat and always ends up cutting away fatty pieces, but this was the one time he ate absolutely every bite. He is STILL talking about that filet! He called it the \"steak of the year\"!\n\nAll in all, we really enjoyed our meal here and I would absolutely recommend it."

"Take it in context, giving Micky D's (or any fast food chain) 4 stars. This is one of only a handful on fast food places in Sahuarita/Green Valley area and the ONLY one with a playplace. This is the desert people! Parks are too hot to visit for several months of the year. The town has about 20k population, tons of young families, and it is along I19 where shoppers from Sonora are driving past it all weekend long and no one else thought to put in a indoor playground? This restaurant was built new in 2009 (?) and it is still clean and maintained well. The main dining room is nicer than the older McD's and the playland area has lots of seating, including several wheelchair/highchair accessible tables. The playplace also has a little area for toddlers with cushy climbing toys and a tree slide made of foam. The staff is generally nice and efficient although there have been a couple of visits that they seemed understaffed. They never seem to mind looking for the exact happy meal toy that my 5 yr old has to have. Food is typical McD's. I have to admit that if a Carl's or BK opened up with a playground inside I'd probably be hitting those up instead. But I will forever be grateful to the McD's for keeping my children entertained on many hot summer days in the A/C.",
"This McDonalds is by far the WORST that I have ever had the displeasure to go to for any type of food and or service. The staff by far is the most incompetent staff that I have ever seen, and I have been in customer service for over 25 years. \n\nEvery single time that I have stopped at this McDonalds after any period of time of say 6:00pm on, the service is horrendous...bad times in drive through.....bad orders mixed up...what is so difficult of an order of a #11 Large with Sweet Tea and an extra sandwich by itself...12 minutes plus at 9:00pm to get order and the SWEET TEA...well is was ICED COFFEE GROUNDS....if there were anything other than a Subway, this restaurant would be out of business...totally pathetic staff/services provided!!!\n\nI WILL NEVER GO AGAIN NO MATTER HOW HUNGRY I MAY BE...I WILL STOP AT VALENCIA FROM NOW ON!!!\n\nThis place should be closed down!!!",
"This Location Really is Uber Baddd !!! Its totallly Unorganized and the Service to their customers is non existant. The one rhing that they have going in their direction is that they are consistantly in the same mess. Wait times for regular menu items are Loooooooong !! 20 minutes for a #2 is not worth the wait. Sorry Ronald , can't come back !!",
"We have been patronizing this McDonald's since opening day. More often than not, the food is as good as McDonald's gets, the staff is normally extremely friendly and helpful. We have observed that the management team works hard to take care of any problems that may arise (such as incorrect orders, wrong register totals etc.). The Play-Place is kept clean for the children. We have no complaints.",
"We are all familiar with McDonalds, it's menu and what it consist of so I'll skip through that all. The only area I feel left to critique is it's service and staff. Well me being a local I've gone a number of times and the service is VERY inconsistent, often forgetting cheese, sauce etc. Again it's McDonalds and it's a part of who we are so I'll continue to go back, but is it just me who believes the constant forgetfulness of condiments is only a way for them to cash in? Next time forget to give me an extra burger or order of fries",
"This particular McDonald's is very close to home. Very convenient when I am busy and need to grab a bite to eat or to grab a little snack to hold us over. This location is open 24 hours, so that's a plus if you are in the mood for a midnight snack or coming home from a night out! This includes the dining room too!\n\nFor the most part, the restaurant is very clean, but at times when it's very busy, I've been there when the trash bins are at its capacity and the dining area is packed. Again, just depends when you get there. It's like anywhere you want to go, if you don't like to wait too long, AVOID going after a game, or during lunch or dinner or after practice! Drive-thru gets backed up too! (Even with two lanes).\n\nWhen in the drive thru, make sure to check your order before pulling away, cause I've been caught without something once in a while, but it's few and far between...We're all human. =)\n\nThis McDonald's also has a Play Place and offer kid parties if you are interested. Free WiFi on the premises too. The staff here have always been nice and courteous. Always busy, but willing to help.\n\nAll in all, it's McDonald's, I'm most likely going to be coming back for years to come!",
"The food is meh, but the coffee isn't bad. I only eat here out of convenience. They are always busy, but the drive thru is pretty fast. They are also open 24 hours.",
"I work until midnight by the time I get to sahuarita McDonald's I take 10 mins out of my drive only to hear that the machine is down, they are only taking cash. I mean I hear this every time I go. Would be nice if they post on their 24 hr sign that for some reason they only take cash after midnight seems a little strange too me. I'm thinking the crew doesn't want to work @ 2 or 3 in the morning and make up the story of machine being down cash only rule. It's every time I got late at night how can the machine always be down?",
"Is every McDonald's this bad? Always screw up order, Get it together! Might be some sort of conspiracy to save money by not giving slice of cheese or messing up order.",
"This mcdonalds is always slow. Whether there's people in line or not. Especially the drive thru. When we get the food, it's usually cold, like it has been sitting for a while."

"This is the best Chinese buffet I've found on the north side! We go almost every week with the kids. The food is freshest during typical lunch & dinner times but they're open all afternoon. The price is reasonable (includes fountain drinks & desserts) and you can order off the menu if you prefer.",
"I don't eat at buffets. They are always medicore. Except this one. It's really good. Potstickers and cashew chicken. Yum!",
"I would say a 2.5- not bad, not great, just blah\n\nCame here the other day with my wife and son. I had a craving for a Chinese buffet, and these place had coupons, so I figured why not. I'm not going to go into such great detail, but this place is your typical Chinese buffet. They have the standard dishes (lo mein, general's chicken, bourbon chicken, etc...). Dessert selection is small, and salad selection is almost non-existent, but if you're going to a Chinese buffet for these items, you are sadly mistaken.\n\n6.99 for lunch, which includes a drink, and 8.99 for dinner. They also have lunch specials ranging from 5.25-6.00. Snag a coupon online to drop that down a bit.\n\nOverall- it satiates the Chinese craving, but nothing to write home about. \n\nCelebrity Rating- Christopher Lambert",
"Excellent food, reasonable price ($9.25 for adult at dinner, including the drink) and selection is pretty good. Always an ample supply of egg rolls, general tso, fried rice (the 'staples'!)....my favorite Chinese buffet!",
"Great selection. We eat there about once per month and have a five year old who always finds things he likes. It is cheaper to go to the lunch buffet. Can't beat the price.",
"I've been going to Dragon House since they opened their doors over a decade ago. Barry and Rosa, the couple that owns the restaurant, are excellent hosts. They are always hospitable, gracious, and make such an effort to get to know their customers. And the food...I'm not usually a huge fan of buffets, but this buffet is so good! Potstickers, lettuce wraps, egg drop soup, eggrolls, Cashew chicken, sweet and sour...all delicious. They offer both a lunch and dinner buffet. Lunch is 7.25 and dinner is 9.25. Great price for the selection and quality. I absolutely love this place for so many reasons, and it's obvious the rest of Fishers does too.",
"When it comes to Chinese buffets all are not created equal! Dragon House is one of the better ones. The food is always fresh and tasty and the service is pretty good as well. If you're like me, you walk into a Chinese buffet expecting some of the usual suspects when it comes to the food, this place delivers that but also some extra's that you don't see everywhere else. For example, fried coconut milk and lettuce wraps. Listen, it's a Chinese buffet, you're not going to leave this place with your head hung high, you're going to leave in pure Chinese buffet shame....BUT you will be happy! If you are in the area and needing a buffet fix definitely check this place out!",
"I'm a big fan of Chinese food and Chinese buffets. This is my \"go-to\" spot for my fix in Fishers. Always high quality... getcha some!",
"We eat here once a month or more. Barry and Rosa have owned the restaurant for a number of years and one or both are always on site. For buffet food this place is great. The buffet table is small compared to many restaurants, but that allows them to monitor the food quality. Although not a large selection, there is enough variety to have diferent tastes and textures for an interesting meal. Nothing sits on the buffet for long periods of time like many Chinese buffets. The restaurant draws a lot or regulars who appreciate the consistancy and quality of the food. They also do a good carry out business and you can order from the menu if you prefer. Drinks are included in the price. They get 5 stars for food quality, consistancy, cleanliness, and owner attention to detail.",
"Very good buffet at a very reasonable price. The restaurant was also very clean. Nice atmosphere."

"A delayed flight caused me to miss my late night arrival meal at La Teresita. Not knowing anything that was open this late in the area other than the usual IHOP, Dennys, Steak and Shake, I checked Trip Advisor for suggestions which led me to the Village Inn. Upon being seated, it became apparent that the Village Inn is a sister restaurant to Bakers Square. \n\nOur server was FABULOUS. She was very friendly and attentive. We never had to ask for refills on drinks, and she kept checking on us to make sure everything was ok. Unfortunately she wasn't able to throw our food away and let us walk out on the bill, because this was arguably the worst meal I've had in the last 15 years. Pancakes, which they are supposedly known for were rubbery and tasteless. The eggs were disgusting and inedible, as was my ham. My co-worker ordered a grilled cheese with bacon, which until last night I thought was impossible to mess up. \n\nService 5 stars\nFood 0 stars",
"This is VILLAGE INN so if anyone comes here EXPECTING anything, they are in for a sad, sorry disappointment. If you come in here KNOWING you are going to get mediocre, cheap food on the fly at 2 in the morning when you are drunk or stoned, then you will enjoy your terrible food and delicious pie.\n\nI'm going to be good to this place because for one, I'm sentimental and I used to come here a lot with an old friend. And the waitresses were always nice to me about ordering a club sandwich with no meat and double avocado. Their peanut butter cup pie is SO GOOD. It's open 24 hours and at least it's clean.",
"Last time I ate at this place, I ordered biscuits and gravy. I took my first bite, and nearly lost it. They served me rancid gravy! I called the waitress over, and she acted like she didn't believe me and resisted taking it back to make it right. After I politely convinced her it was rotten, she took it away and brought me another meal that tasted fine. I swore I would never go back to another Village Inn ever again... not just because of this one incident mind you, but because every time I ever go to one the food is terrible and the servers are never around when you need them.",
"We eat breakfast here once a week. Love the food and the service.",
"I'm going to use the phrase \"sux balls\" for this one. I had tilapia and mashed potatoes. First of all the waitress brought me the plate with the gravy dripping off it. I waited for her to offer some napkins since it was evident she wasnt going to clean it herself. After realizing she wasnt going to leave any napkins on the table I asked her for some and was able to remedy the gravy problem myself. The mashed potatoe was HORRIBLE. It was boxed not fresh potatoe and I swear they may have mixed the box with the powdered potatoe because thats all I tasted. The fish had no flavor at all Im surprised they gave it to me cooked. With all that being said, Just say NO to village inn.",
"I'm not sure about the food, but this place has the BEST Lemon Supreme pie on the planet. I don't know who their pie cook is, but he/she deserves a medal. And a raise.",
"Just read another reviewers comment and couldn't agree more. I have had ok food at this place but the standout is indeed the Lemon Pie. The best Lemon Pie I and probably the best pie I have ever had. Pure perfection!!!",
"This is my first time dining at this Village Inn and it'll be my last dining at Village Inn anywhere. It seems that every single location prides itself on being dirty and having poor service. No thank you!",
"I enjoyed the few visits I have had here. The wait staff is very friendly and the food comes out hot. Dont expect the best food you've every experienced you will be disappointed greatly. Do expect the better then the waffle house and a little less then IHop. I have eaten breakfast here several times but who in the world can screw up breakfast?? The food was good, hot and plentiful. I did not personally experience and uncleanliness although I will say they are stingy on the napkins. I can say I have only had their pecan pie and it was meh I have had better I am willing to try a different pie. I gave it a 3 because I did like the breakfast.",
"WELLLLLLLLLLLLL what a night this was I had more fun here from what I remember with my cuzo and sara then I did at lame Kennedy! We left the Kennedy and I was super tipsy that I was feeling a weebit blah so we had to go eat. We ended up at the Village Inn thats the spot here in Tampa after the club and we ordered the food which took FOR-EVER to get to us, but I digress. \n\nSo me and my cuzo are sitting there with sara bsing real good making jokes, taking pics and trying to sober me up. (lol) I finally got my fat burger that they forced me to eat because I was so gone but I had already felt gross that the burger looked like the BLOB.........................................................................................................................(sorry I just thru up in my mouth thinking of it and that night) Anyway hopefully I won't have another snookie night and beable to enjoy my meal.\n\nThe service was ok and the atmosphere was just iight. Most likely I'll be back again lol. Until my next drunkin night yelpers adios."

"OK, let me qualify the previous reviewer by quoting her: \"In fact, I hated pizza for a long, long time.\" Only a communist could HATE pizza...C'Mon! How can she possibly be reviewing a Pizza joint???Anyhow, this is quite possibly some of the worst pizza in the area. I've had worse, but Grotto's (rhymes with Grosso's) really ranks up their with some worse of the worse. And I know MANY in Delaware who would agree with me.\n\nI am somewhat of a pizza snob and believe that good pizza must...MUST be cooked in a stone oven. Grotto uses a conveyor belt in all of their operations. They certainly had much better pizza back in the 1970's when they were a 1 shack operation on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, but as soon as they institutionalized and corporatized and started dumping new sites on every corner in the state, quality went right down the tubes.\n\nIf your out for pizza in Delaware, then save your money, you'll really need it if you eat here cuz they are WAY over-priced. Take your business to any of the mom and pop pizza joints around the area and make sure you check for the classic stone oven (it's stainless steel and has the door that pulls down in the front), or better yet, a wood fired oven.",
"The only time I get this pizza is when we're visiting down in Wilmington. I found it to have a great taste. The crust is a little thinnner than I like but the sauce has a good spicyness to it, and they don't go overboard with the cheese. \nMy kids seem to like their sandwiches, too, but their pizza is really the reason to go.",
"I used to eat pizza here as a child and hadn't been here in probably almost 10 years...Decided to take a random trip down memory lane with a friend and we weren't sure if it would be as good as we remembered. but....\n\nthe pizza is still good! too bad it's all the way in delaware!",
"Mama Mia, mushy pizza! Yeah, a bit too much sauce on some of their pizza but the crust is yum and they offer a variety of pies. Good pricing also.",
"The prices are high and the pizza tastes like it came out of the microwave. Just about any $6 pizza from Acme is better. I don't understand why people here like this place so much.",
"Grotto's pizza is not good. For the price, it's not a bad option if you're ordering for a large group. The crust tastes like dust (it's the Delaware water), and the pizza just looks like there was no care put into it. Putting the sauce on the outside of the cheese doesn't help. I'm at a loss as to how this place has so many locations and is so popular in Delaware - I'm thinking maybe they haven't had real pizza in New Jersey, Philly, or New York.\n\nThe only positive other than the price is that they stay open until 5 AM. I left the bar and found some pizza that was still warm in the trash outside, and was able to find outside seating for a quick snack. The waitress never came, but I didn't complain because there was no charge. There's nothing like eating pizza and watching the first light from the sun make it's appearance on the horizon. In addition, Grotto's is far enough from downtown Wilmington that you can safely fall asleep in their parking lot and nobody will bother you. But someone should clean the asphalt, when I woke up there was gum stuck on my ear.",
"I can't believe some of the reviews I am reading. Maybe these people live too close to a Grotto's so they don't know what they've got. I drive out of my way to eat here whenever I can. I love the super thinly sliced peperoni with the sauce on top. Easily one of my favorite pizzas anywhere and yes I have had good New York pizza many times.",
"Good, greasy, basic pizza - a little expensive for what it is.\nPlus they sell gelato, subs & salads. \n\nI had a single slice with spinach (very good spinach topping by the way) for $3.25 to go.\n\nBIG parking lot and a large bar.",
"This place is a high school after prom party. Young kids, all drunk but I really can't criticize because I would have been there too if the place had been open when I was in my 20s. As far as the food, small portions, way overpriced. The pizza is substantial in the sense that one or two slices are filling, but gives me really bad heartburn every time. Not for me.",
"Have to break it down....\n\nCrust- A little too heavy and not much flavor\nSauce- Hate to say it but Papa John's is much better.. no flavor \nMeat- average\n\nSorry Grotto's...but there are far better options for pizza"

"When you initially walk in, one look at the decor makes you feel as if you were transferred from the typically trendy streets of historic Bordentown to a diner south of the Mason-Dixon Line, one that would fit perfectly into the Joe Pecsi classic, \"My Cousin Vinny\". There is very little decor to speak of. It's like the simplicity of it gives the place its charm.\n\nAfter washing my hands in there single restroom, which is in a kind of back area, I took my seat with a friend and was greeted by a nice elderly waitress who took our order. I ordered a comfy diner classic of egg salad club and an orange crush drink while my buddy got a patti-melt and water with a lemon. Both orders came with fries.\n\nOne thing that I love was that their soda is served in bottles, not from the fountain. I know some people won't feel the same way, but when I got a my orange crush in a glass bottle, it made me feel like I went back in time to the 50's. The food is quite good as, my egg salad club was a great combination of egg salad and bacon. I choose not to get lettuce and tomato on it. I never eat them and I figured that a local place like this could save it for the next guest to enjoy. My buddy comes here often and loves the patti-melt. I'm guessing it's safe to say it's good.\n\nAngie's probably will become a frequent spot for me to visit. I like to simplicity of the place and the natural charm of it all. Please don't change a thing.\n\nStay peckish my friends",
"Bad horrible food. A step up from Denny's the pancake was raw in the middle, rest food was nothing to write home anout. The place is small miss match stuff inside. Not worth the visit.",
"My wife and I come here out of all the places in the area for breakfast because its fast and they flat out know how to cook. We have eaten here 20 times in the past year and have not had a bad meal yet. We love their omelets and creamed chipped beef. It's simple breakfast food done consistently and done right.\n\nUpdate*** Feb 2018 \n\nBest diner food and Mexican in Bordentown!!!",
"reasonable prices, awesome food and eclectic environment. perfect for breakfast or brunch!",
"Rediscovering Bordentown, I stopped into Angie's Family Restaurant for breakfast last week to check it out. \n\nTrue, there is something of a time vortex effect within its shop. The colorful hand painted murals, lazy tables basking in the sun along the front windows, and the small counter with maybe a half dozen spinners, all combined to catch me off guard and drop me into somewhere in my youth, perhaps 1972 in Boulder, Colorado. \n\nIt may have played tricks with my mind, but it did not impact my taste buds. My French Toast, Orange Juice and Coffee Special was fresh and tasty. The FT nicely cauterized by the hot grill to provide the light crunch I crave. My server wasn't Angie (I asked), but she and her mother had worked with Ms. A for many years and knew her to be a lovely person. \n\nIn fact, this joint is so square it's hip. It suits its neighborhood in this transforming river town. If Bonaparte was still here, he would be a regular. \n\nThose fortunate enough to come often must call this place, \"Angie's,\" as there is no need for the rest of the name. \n\nAngie speaks for herself.\n\nAPRIL 2, 2015 UPDATE - Went with the Breakfast Special today; Kielbasi, Onion and Jalapeno Omelet @ $8.95, a bit pricey compared to the rest of the menu, but I liked the concept. It included Home Fries, Toast and Coffee. The Omelet was not as I imagined it. Rather than chunks of fresh Kielbasi from the Polish deli, it was a thin sliced pink colored processed meat-food that had no resemblance in look, nor taste to the Polish Sausage. Too, the Jalapenos were the pickled and sliced version, rather than fresh pepper cut and sautéed before being thrown into the mix. Overall, a disappointment. Stick with the tried and true regular menu options going forward.",
"The staff is very friendly and professional. The food they serve looks like it was homemade. Their breakfast items are delicious. \n\nThey are walking distance from the train station. If you call ahead, they will get your food ready for you when you arrive.",
"Angie's is a hidden gem. Great food, always fresh, hot and delicious, yummy coffee, small intimate atmosphere, great service, local hot spot for breakfast. \nSkip the larger diner on the highway and enjoy a TERRIFIC meal here.",
"I don't know what took me so long to review my favorite breakfast spot! We come to Angies a few times a week. Its small, the staff is friendly, and the food is FRESH! I never liked going to diners for breakfast, I would always feel poisoned and tired the rest of the day, not at Angies, you feel like you are home and mom just whipped up some eggs while you chat with friends. \nMy work friends and I also love to come for lunch. They have great soups and lunch specials as well. Skip the large diners with pre made food, sitting under heat lamps and enjoy a fresh local breakfast.",
"Stopped by for lunch with the wife one morning around 1pm. I would rate this 4 stars because the food was good and the friendly service was great. Unfortunately, the cleanliness factor dropped them from 4 stars to 3! The ketchup bottles, which were plastic squeeze bottles, were faded and the labels that looked like they were washed 100 times. The bottles also had old food and sticky stuff on them. The reason I make a big deal out of this is, generally if a restaurant skimps on the little things like reusing ketchup bottles ( which is a health code violation ) they skimp on other things... Bigger things!!! \nWith the recent onset of hepatitis at a restaurant 2 miles away, I am scared to go back with the family. It is a shame because my office is around the corner on Third St and this would be a great morning stop to eat a couple times a week... So disappointed",
"Popular place with Bordentown locals. The service is always professional and friendly. Tastes fresher than typical diners."

"I went into this place with a business associate after we both decided we were hungry for some BBQ. Typically, we go to Pappy's which is always good but my friend said he had driven by a place that smelled good. We decided to give this place a try and were rewarded with really good Brisket, Baby Backs, and Chicken. The owners were on site and definitely care about their business. A bit of a wait, but certainly worth it!",
"Awesome. go try it! licky sticky Mmm Mmm GOOD!",
"When I'm in town, I USUALLY gravitate towards Roper's on West Florissant. After hearing great reviews about The RIb Shack from my cousin & an acquaintance from Facebook, decided to stop in when my stomach got to grumbling this past week. \n\nImmediately greeted when I came in the door, with a \"Thank you for choosing The Rib Shack\"....awesome! Free samples of wings/rib tips/pulled pork offered....great start to the relationship. Looking at the price list.......unbelievable. $8 for a pulled pork sandwich?? $9 for a rib tip sandwich? Already hitting a bump in the road, lol. Took a sample of the rib tip, no sauce, while I thought on the menu...good flavor, tender, but got the impression that they were baked...not smoked. Settled on the 4 piece smoked wings ($5.99 w/ 1 side & bread), a beef polish ($3.99), and a Tropical Punch Mystic ($1.49 I believe)...total damage, just under $13\n\nFood came up pretty quickly, and I looked forward to being delighted after hearing such good things. The wings are excellent...big wings, tender, seasoned well, and you can taste the smoke. Got the sauce on the side....one taste of it made me wish I'd gotten it on my wings instead...great stuff. I pop open my polish & have a look...butterflied, grill marks on the underside, potato salad included....looking good so far. Finished splitting it down the middle, and went to work. Much to my dismay, found that it was a pretty basic Eckrich smoked sausage...not very flavorful, and the casing didn't tear/snap/pop when bitten....no bueno. \n\nOverall grade from first impression: C+. The service was excellent, and 1/2 of my meal was great. Unfortunately, the majority of the menu was severely overpriced ($8 on average for the usual BBQ sandwich items), and my polish had to be removed from the skin to be edible.",
"We came here on the advice of a coworker who said that this place had good ribs and snoots. Being that I had never had a snoot before I was eager to give it a go so we made our way out here for dinner one night. \n\nTo our dismay there was a sign in the restaurant that said \"No Snoots Today. Sorry.\" Despite the snoot shortage we decided to stay and give it a go. I got the rib tip meal with a side of mac and cheese and potato salad. The rib tips were very good but I thought there were too much sauce on it. I would recommend getting the sauce on the side. The mac and cheese and potato salad are pretty much your standard fare. \n\nAll in all it was good. I believe we are going to come back to try the snoots. But this time we'll call ahead to make sure they are in stock.",
"Wow. Talk about great customer service. After trying two other spots with a wait time of almost two hours+, we went to the Rib Shack. It was very close to the airport and the hotel we were staying at. Which was very convenient because we were about to catch our flight soon. \n\nThe food is amazing. I had the sweet potato fries, collard greens, rib bits and beef brisket. \n\nMy friend and I were waiting outside for our food. A worker asked us how our day was going and how we found the Rib Shack. I am from the Bay Area, and people just don't do that here. So I really appreciated her friendliness. She brought out some yams so we could try them... and they were DELICIOUS. \n\nMy food was so good I saved some and brought it on the plane with me so I could have some at home. When I warmed it up, it was still just as yummy. \n\nI will definitely come back when I'm in St. Louis. I also recommend it to anyone who would love great hospitality and good food. I can't stop raving about it here in CA!",
"This place is close to our house and the food is the best soul food I have tasted in St. Louis. The prices are reasonable for dinner, haven't had lunch yet. The portions for the side items are very large, but the portions for the main courses can be on the light side. I've ordered the beef brisket twice now and while it is always seasoned well, and the bbq sauce is good, the cuts of beef are more fatty than desired. But when combined with price and the side items, this can't be beat! The improvement I see, is in the quality of the beef product they use. otherwise, this place is KILLING Sweetie Pies!",
"Clean place, friendly staff, and owners frequently on site. Recommended!",
"Rib shack, is a little old place where, we can get together!! Rib shack, BABY! \nMy friend actually came here looking to try some snoot (pig nose). Honestly, I went because I had a sweet coupon for double the rib tips for the regular price. \n\nThe place looks like the name may imply, a small place with a small dining area. But the food was pretty darn good. I had rib tips with mac&cheese and some mashed potatoes. Despite my lactose intolerance, I'm a sucker for some good mac&cheese, and Rib Shack did not disappoint with its creamy goodness. The rib tips were also pretty good, and they give you a good portion. The BBQ sauce choices are also pretty good; I always like the sweet ones. \n\nI'll probably go back to try the ribs, but Pappy's is still the go-to for ribs in St. Louis (though I understand it's much more expensive). I tried a little snoot off of my friend's plate, but I'm not a huge fan (probably because you can still see the hairs on it). \n\nCheck out the Rib Shack if you're in the mood for some good BBQ at a reasonable price!",
"Over the past year I have traveled frequently to St. Louis for work. My wife came today and I took her to Rib Shack for some wings and sids \"to go\" after picking her up from the airport. 1st of all let me tell you about our experience while there. We wanted to try the smoked wings to which they claimed fame and asked the young lady about them. Her response was let me just give you one to sample!? Never would have happened in the DC metro area. Wings were worldly delicious! So thats what we ordered plus sided greens and mashed potatoes. While waiting for the order the wife and I decided to check out a small vendor in a shopping center next door and this lady getting out of her car approached us and said \"why are you leaving...is something wrong?\" turns out she was the owner wanting to make sure all was good!\n\nThis place if rated for customer service would get a 5 alone but the food is a 5 as well. This would never happen in the DC metro area ....try it you will be hooked.",
"So after a fairly disappointing experience at the unaffiliated Shrimp Shack across the parking lot, my girlfriend and I decided to try the Rib Shack. It was actually really good. I got the brisket, and since I'm weird and am not a fan of bbq sauce I asked for it without. It came out with bbq sauce on it, and I let them know about the mistake and they fixed it. \n\nThis is always impressive to me from small independent places. They apologized and fixed it quickly and I enjoyed it a lot. The brisket was good, juicy, and flavorful (who needs barbecue sauce?). The sides, however, were just okay. A good signature potato dish could really put this place over the top for me. Also, I don't know why, but so many places don't have soda fountains in them in North County and many parts of the city. I really hate this, as I love me some Mountain Dew with my meals, especially meat and potatoes served in Styrofoam. \n\nIf I was in the area more I would totally go back more, but since I'm not I haven't. The food is great, they just need to get more creative with their sides and get some real drink options in that place. With room to improve, 4 stars."

"It is difficult to rate this restaurant using stars. When I first walked in the lights were dim, the hostess was polite, there was a man playing a piano, the tables were draped with white table cloths and the dinner ware was of good quality. The waitress was pleasant, the coffee was good and the fresh baked bread was good too. The meals however were nothing special, especially when the price is considered. I had stuffed eggplant which was OK, but lacked the depth of flavor that I expected it to have. They charge $13.00 for it which is way over priced for the quality of food. It seems to me that they want to be a fancy restaurant and they succeed with the ambiance but failed when it comes to the food. I would give the look of the restaurant 3 stars but the food deserves maybe, maybe, one star.",
"The BEST! The Restaurant was recently renovated and money was no object. It is by far the BEST restaurant around. The food is the BEST. I am born in Italy and travel extensively; a dinner here brings tears to my eyes as the food is succulent and full of flavor. The owner, Joe, makes you feel like you entered his home and he is a Wine Spectator Expert and recommended great wines to compliment my meal. The grilled specialties and pastas are fantastic, although I prefer the tuna and salmon entrees. I was there last night and Corey, the manager, was very courteous and helpful to my 82 year old Grandmother. She loves the place and the piano music. It is just a wonderful place. Sometimes, I sit in the bar on a Saturday just to meet nice people and chat. Try it you will not be disappointed. It makes the competition look like a food truck! THE BEST! Tante buone cose!",
"We went here last weekend, and had such a good meal that we came back two days later. The rolls and chicken soup were both good. For entrees we got chicken parmesan, manicotti, and \"linguine cara mia\" (linguine with scallops and mushrooms in a rose sauce) and it was all very good. We didn't have dessert because we were too full from all the other good food. The staff was polite and quick to refill water glasses. It was nice to visit a restaurant that wasn't a chain and offered a good selection of dishes. We'll definitely go there again.",
"Entering the restaurant, my boyfriend and I had to wait for about 10 minutes to get some service. We were honestly about to walk out, but finally someone helped us. I wish we had walked out when we had the chance. \n\nI had the chicken alfredo and he had the same thing but with sausage. The pasta was okay (but definitely not worth $16) and the chicken - absolutely terrible. It was either overcooked or thawed wrong, very dry, and very bland - they used no seasoning or marinade or anything. I had one bite of it and that was it. I am not one to complain and the waitress was nice so I just ate the pasta without the chicken. But even she could not bring me back there. \n\nAs soon as we left, I immediately felt sick. Luckily I only live about 5 minutes away or I would not have made it. I thought maybe it was a coincidence, but soon after my boyfriend was in the bathroom vomiting for 15 minutes straight. I have a new motto for this restaurant: \"Italian Affair - NEVER GO THERE\".",
"When I was in college and the Italian Affair was still in it's original location in the 90's, it was a real haunt for me and my friends. The places was unassuming with reliably good but not great American-Italian food. The service was always good, the owners warm and friendly. They outgrew their small home in the strip mall and moved into a brand new building on the same shopping campus. It's a bonafide restaurant now with ambiance. The prices are still in the $9-15 range and the food is still ok. It's good place to go with families now and less of a college hang-out.",
"I've been going to Italian Affair since I was in college at Rowan, and I still try to make it out there occasionally even though I don't live in town anymore. My girlfriend and I go there every few months, realizing recently that it has become our \"spot\" since we started dating three years ago.\n\nWith the newly renovated location -- including a beautiful outdoor seating area with a canopy bar and a stream running through it -- the atmosphere is very romantic and classy. Oddly, though, the prices are very reasonable for being such quality food.\n\nThe service is always great, especially if you're lucky enough to have this one particular woman as your waitress (she might be part-owner or something, I'm not sure.. all I know is she is damn good at what she does, and incredibly nice).\n\nOne of my favorite parts, aside from the whole package, is the bread you get in the beginning, and the herb-mixed olive oil to dip it in. Delicious. The server prepares this mix right in front of you, in the classy Italian restaurant way.\n\nI have nothing bad to say about this place. While inside, you forget you're in Glassboro. And I always leave full and happy.",
"Italian Affair has grown from their roots in the nearby strip mall. \n\nThis is a classy place one can come to enjoy some fantastic italian cuisine. As long as you're not seated near the (normally too loud) piano player, the ambiance is great for a date or a nice night out with your husband or wife. \n\nIf you're not up for dinner, but want to enjoy some drinks, swing by the wine bar. If you're lucky, Angelo will take care of you. He knows his wines and cocktails and will ensure you're happy. \n\nIf you want a louder, rowdier experience, head on to the outside bar and watch a game, catch some live music, or just enjoy the fresh air. \n\nThis place really does offer everything.",
"We went to Italian Affair for the \"Happy Hour\". Supposed to be $5.00 Martinis, Margaritas, 1/2 price appetizers. \n\nWe were seated in a booth in the Bar, but if you don't sit at 1 of the 12 stools AT THE BAR, you don't get \"Happy Hour\" prices.\n\n I have never heard of anything so stupid! I have been at many other places for Happy Hour & as long as you are in the bar, the prices are Happy Hour prices. Most place also apply Happy Hour when seated on the patio. \n\nWhen I asked the Waiter, he said we have to \"sit at the bar to get the Happy Hour prices.\n\nNeedless to say, we will go some place else from now on!",
"I have Little Italy right in my own backyard YEA!!! This is truly delicious food expertly prepared for any pallet weather it be a pallet fit for Kings or paupers. The food is Wonderful. You will not be disappointed.",
"Me and my husband went to Salad Works for lunch but it was closed since it was Easter. But this restaurant just across the street was open and my DH suggested it was Mexican when he saw the ITALIAN flag outside :)\n The place turned out to be above my expectations. We sat outside but the inside looked really nice and romantic. The server was great, he made sure we were 100% satisfied and I appreciate good service ( he looked like he could`ve been the owner or maybe a relative). But the best part was the food! This place owns some great family recipes for sure! We got stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, I got personal white pizza with spinach (which wasn`t small at all) and my DH got Veal Romana. Gosh, was that good!!! This Veal Romana tastes like heaven! It`s the best one I had so far! As for my pizza- FORGET PIZZA HUT!!! Now I know where my next take out pizza gonna be from :) I`m gonna be a regular at this place especially since the prices are so affordable!"

"Man!!! This place is busy!! The kitchen is going nonstop with the servers dishing out the great Chinese food known as Panda Express. This one only opened about 2 weeks ago and the word has definitely gotten out to the locals. I had the 8 treasure chicken breast and orange chicken with chow mien and fried rice mix. The food was great. It's a clean ass restaurant. Like I said, the service is great . Give it a try!!!",
"Yummy.\nWhat else can be said. So nice to finally have another choice for food in Sahuarita.\nI had the orange chicken, and teriyaki chicken with fried rice. Friendly staff and great fresh food.\nMy friend had noodles and shrimp she loved them both. Huge servings too.\nStaff did a good job even tho the line was out the door during the busy lunch rush.",
"We are so happy to have Panda so close to home. We get it weekly for dinner. I love the online order & pick up ease! I can buy dinner & my son can grab it on the way home from work. Staff are friendly & helpful inside the restaurant as well! It's clean & spacious as well. Lots of tables etc. Welcome Panda to Sahuarita!",
"The drive thru is so unbelievably slow and I was told 'Hi can you wait a minute' in a snobby tone as soon as I pulled up. Really unprofessional. Then they didn't have what I was ordering ready and I was told to wait 5 min. I declined because the last 2 times was told to pull forward and wait for my food I was completely forgotten about and had to walk in and remind them that I was waiting on my food. Then my order was wrong when I received it. I don't know what goes on back there but I know theres probably 8+ employees so idk why it's such a wreck all of the time.",
"I was in the drive-threw ordereda chicken teriyaki and the ten minuets it took to pull up to the window I was told they are out WTF are you kidding me",
"I do not like this place at all. Nothing is homemade in house. Its all frozen in a bag and it tastes like it. The orange chicken which is their specialty is always cooked so hard you could use it in a slingshot to hurt someone. I think they are way overpriced for the product you are getting.",
"Brand new to the Sahuarita/Green Valley area; in comes in a new fast food restaurant chain; Panda Express! \n\nOff to a reasonably good start, the public ran in with a FURY! This area of south Tucson is known for pizza joints and deli sandwich shops so to have a Panda Express this far south of Tucson was a refreshing stance. For the first few weeks, the delays and portion sizes were quite an issue and normal to the expected value you normally expect. Now, a few months down the road, it's balanced out and a bit more polished, thought not perfect. \n\nThis Panda Express still struggles with execution and speed but the food is good if not great. The portion sizes are getting back to normal but one thing I absolutely can not appreciate is the CONSTANT bombarding of asking each and every customer if they want to donate to some cause or another as you pay out at the cashier. I get it, but PLEASE, learn to be concise and expedient...\n\nThe store isn't usually a mess, but there are days, they struggle to get a body out from behind the counter to clean up the very dirty drink counter area. The floor can become quite a sticky situation. I'd suggest management pay attention to this part of the review and work it...\n\nOverall, being in fast food a few decades ago, I get it. They have to hammer out a few details and find their groove. However, they are ALL the noise in Sahuarita right now so the management really needs to take heed and get a grip on the speed of their delivery. \n\nOne final note: the cooks on the fire grills in the back; KUDOS to your efforts!! I watch you very carefully and you guys make this restaurant happen!! Keep up the good work and tighten up the details, you guys got this!\n\nV/r, \n\nRJ",
"Unpredictable drive through. Could be 3min or 20min. Does not seem to matter how many people are in line. They run ot of stuff alot and it's like asking for their first born child when you want more than 1 soy sauce.",
"We've been here 3 times and the service has been good and quick! I will say their orange chicken is a bit spicier at this location than I've ever had before in other states.",
"Don't go after 8pm ...they don't have rice.. white or brown...no chow mein and said they don't make it that late. ..they don't close until 930!"

"Plum caterers made a custom \"Bowling Cake\" for my daughter 15th Birthday party. The cake was very moist and delicious all of my guest enjoyed the cake. Thank you Plum caterers.\n\nOdessa Morris",
"Several of us ordered today -- sandwiches, platters, and salads -- and the food was quite good. Portion sizes are excellent, price is excellent, and quality of food was excellent. Jerk sauce - delish. Pulled pork - delish. Cajun spiced sweet potato wedges -- has a kick and are delish. Sweet Plantains -- are these people of Spanish descent, cuz they were perfect! AND they deliver in the Riverfront area?! SCORE!\n\nThe only negative thing I have to say is they use just a touch too much salt in on their meats, but it isn't enough to keep us away. Looking forward to our next order!",
"I just ordered a burger from Plum Bistro via Uber eats. I just wanted to let everyone know that the burger was phenomenal! I never post on yelp. The burger was so good that it inspired me to type! I will definitely be ordering again. Thanks Plum Bistro!",
"Went to the grand opening - this is a new restaurant by the same guy who has the Plum Pit food truck, which you can find in Delaware and Pennsylvania. The food here is amazing. Definitely try the fries and the lil Chris sandwich (homemade macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, bacon, bbq sauce) = heaven in multiple bites. \n\nI've only ever heard positive reviews of everything else from friends, so I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit",
"Aston is a small town devoid of many appetizing lunch spots. Until Plum, my choices have been limited to pizza, fast food, Primo Hoagies, the Giant salad bar or Poppy's (no regrets with Poppy's, they are wonderful!)\n\nMy boss and I decided to try Plum's takeout today. The place is quaint, with bright purple tones and a penny laden counter. The friendly owners were working as well as their adorable daughter who was busy making macaroni and cheese. \n\nWe tried the Squealer, Mutha Clucka, macaroni and cheese and housemade brownies. Both sandwiches were piled high on hoagie buns. The meat was smoky and paired well with the fresh tartness of apple slaw. I loved the spicy jerk sauce with the Mutha Clucka. My suggestion to the owners would be to serve it sliced in half, because it's a monster to handle. I wasn't a fan of the fries on top, but after removal my sandwich was amazing!\n\nThe macaroni and cheese is everything it should be; creamy cheesy goodness, decadent and seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices.\n\nI'm hoping this place thrives as I have my eye on their shrimp tacos and empanadas next time!",
"Well, I enjoyed the Motha Clucka so much that I am giving the Plum Bistro 5 stars for now. It was just so good, and so different, than any other sandwiches I've come across in the area - jam packed with smoked chicken, apple slaw, steak fries and a hot-but-not-too-hot jerk sauce. Seriously - it was yummy. The candied walnut salad that we got was also very good, although one of my girls complained that the walnuts were \"too candied\" - I'm gonna just blame that comment on the health kick that she's on because I adored everything about that salad.\n\nThat said, we decided that the paninis were just okay - they could use some sort of sauce or something, like a garlic aioli maybe - just for a little more oomph. And while we liked the décor in the place, it just didn't feel very cozy and we couldn't help but notice that the table was wobbly and needed to be wiped off. \n\nAnyway, I know they opened very recently so I'm sure they will just keep getting better and better. I can't wait to try their brunch - friends of ours have been there several times for brunch and just keep raving about it. Will be trying that ASAP!",
"Food is great, moderately priced. We spent about $15 on a lunch meal per person. Also the service is friendly but was a bit slow today. It took over 20 minutes to get our order of 6 shrimp tacos and a sandwich.( We were the only people in the place). We did also try the food truck and they were a bit quicker. Overall you should give it a try. The food is a nice addition to the usual Aston options, and we will definitely be going back.",
"Fabulous food - very sweet family and a cool atmosphere if it had air conditioning on this hot day it would've been perfect. \nWe are driving home from a vacation where we had crappy tasting food all week so this was a wonderful surprise! Thanks for being a hole in the wall and being original!",
"The food speaks for itself. \nI've had lunch and several take out orders from the restaurant and the truck(you'll find more in Wilmington than Philly). Excellent portion sizes, a nice friendly staff and reasonable prices. They do have 2 pages, catering and dining check both out for the photos Book them for an event if you desire. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and nice decor. Oh and they are fast! I was in and out in no time(even in the lunch rush).",

"Just had lunch here. Very clean. Server was very friendly and offered to go cups for our drinks without me having to ask.",
"Had an excellent server, but the food came a bit slow. Food was fine as expected. A decent Logan's experience.",
"Very attentive team oriented staff. Good hot food. Excellent shrimp scampi and bleu steak",
"My family and I stopped for lunch. the staff was friendly and prompt with the drinks, but i feel that the entrees were slow coming out of the kitchen. \nI feel that my daughter got much better value in her kids steak tips than I with my roadhouse burger. \nMy only real complaint is that all 3 of my families entrees tasted strongly of the natural gas that they were grilled with. The more that i think about it they do not deserve 4of 5 stars ,but i will not mark them down only because i have almost 20 years of good memories from their cool springs and hickory hollow locations. AHHH the good ole days... \nOh well, can't go back to the past but i will go back to Logan's",
"We came here during post lunch hours. We were one of four tables. The waitstaff, while abundant, were barely there. Food was good. Service was slow and unresponsive.",
"I always order water with no lemon and no ice...the food took so long I could have ordered I with ice and it would have been luke warm by the time the food came. However, the salmon was amazing and and broccoli was freshly steamed so it made up for the time issue. I was upset that someone had taken a bunch of the peanuts out of the shell and left them in the bucket. Why on earth would I want to eat something that a stranger sitting there before me had personally handled? It made me wonder if they ever clean the buckets...",
"The server was condescending and rude. She stood with one knee on the booth seat and one elbow on top of the booth seat and laughed and talked with her boyfriend while my two kids and wife and I waited on our order. When she did bring the order out, two of the four orders were wrong. It took forever to get the orders straight. The only apology we got from our server was \"Sorry, I'm hungover.\" Just what I want my kids to hear-NOT!\nAlso, just what I want to spend my hard earned money for! Word to the owner, you've got a problem and there are lots of places to eat.",
"Sweet tea is very good. Service is great. I would come here again when I'm in town.",
"My son and I went into this Logan's for dinner. Well to my surprise they don't offer he same specials as the other Logan's. We went there because we were in the Providence area. Had I know that they don't offer the wings or have the 2 for $13.99 we would have passed on by. I called another logan's and they all offer the special but that one. I was told it was a test store and those things have been taken away. Well when you enter a place expecting a deal its very disappointing when they don't have it. I won't be going to that Logan's again for a long time. Actually we left and went to Hickory Hollow...",
"The revamped menu is terrific! The brisket queso is delicious. Glasses are back instead of plastic. Come check them out"

"Must have been recently rebuilt after flood - WONDERFUL place!! \n\nWe came via boat and had the best take-out meal! Loved everything and everyone was very nice!",
"This place could be a candidate for Chef Ramsey's \"Kitchen Nightmares\" series. I understand that this place was destroyed by the 2010 Cumberland River flood, and that it was recently rebuilt. It looks great, and is in a great location, right on the river, although a bit off the beaten path. The place was practically empty at a time when it should have been really busy. That should have been our first clue that all was not well. The food was practically inedible, and our server, while she didn't say it, seemed to be embarrassed to serve it. \n\nWhat the owners of so many restaurants fail to understand is that we go to restaurants first for the FOOD, not the decor or the view. If you don't get the food part right, everything else was a waste of money. For a fraction of the price of the decor you can hire a good, solid executive chef who can turn out some amazing food that will bring customers back again and again. Great food turns into happy customers, and happy customers turn into profits.",
"Visited Friday evening March 1, 2013 for my wife's birthday dinner. it was okay but not great. The atmosphere was nice and the service was actually good. The restaurant was fairly busy. A few snow flurries were falling which I coined an oxymoron because the River-view restaurant migrates to their summer hours on this day each year. \n\nAlthough the restaurant offers an all you care to eat option for the catfish; otherwise the portions were small for the price. The bobbers and the hush puppies appetizers tasted good. The salad bar looked good and well stocked. \n\nIt was very obvious the chicken tenders and other seafood components came from the fast food supplier. I would give it a second chance and hope for some improvements; either larger portions or lower prices. They would do well to make their own chicken strips/tenders. Homemade taste so much better and its usually less expensive. \n\nAlthough my personal thoughts are catfish has to be fried. The River view offers a bake and broiled option too.",
"I really wanted to like it more than I did. The view is nice, and the staff was friendly, but in the end it was just very average. With easily some of the most obliterated coleslaw I've ever seen in my life. It looked like someone just made it in a blender on Purée.\n\nI wouldn't discourage you from coming here if you are in the area, but I would discourage you from driving a long way for it. It's not bad, it's just not any better than Red Lobster.",
"Made a trip out here while on a ride with a friend. The place is nice, clean, and the deck has a great view of the river. \n\nAs for a dining experience? It is good not great. Pretty much anything in the way of sea food you order seems to touch the fryer which is ok just not a lot of great healthy options. I split a sea food platter, and clam strips with a side of sweet potato fries and okra.\nThe platter included shrimp, clam, catfish, hushpuppies, crab cakes, and something else that tasted like bite sized pieces of scallops (I was to hungry to ask at the time). Literally everything I had ordered except my trip to the salad bar had been in the fryer. While not exactly heart healthy and a lot of cooking variety.\n\nThey also have some locally made ice cream that I would highly recommend.",
"I ordered the fish tacos here which can best be described as so-so. They were messy served on a small flour tortilla shell with cole slaw which made the tacos messy. The fish as well was not crispy due to the wetness of the slaw. The only bright spot was our server who was spot on.",
"This place was great. Service was def. spot on, a nice little old lady made sure my glass was full the entire time I was there and it only took about 10 mins to get our orders on the table.\n\nAs for the food, it was pretty delicious. Fish is their speciality, and can be cooked to ordered fried or boiled. I personally got it fried, with white beans(delicious) and a baked sweet potatoe that came with some top notch cinnamon butter. If your in the mood for fish, give this place a try!",
"Salad bar is very nice and clean. Had the catfish and it was cooked well. This is a very nice place for casual food. I have been several times and everytime I had a nice meal/ Once of the best things here is the proximity to the river and the views. Go and enjoy.",
"My fiance` and I live in the area and have been to this restaurant several times over the years. Before I came along he had been there many times with his son. He had always enjoyed it and when he took me, I loved it as well. The food is wonderful. We love the catfish, ribeye steak sandwich, their fries and the salad bar. I haven't eaten anything there that I didn't like. The view is another plus. We love sitting by the window and watching the boats and the people. I would recommend trying this restaurant!",
"Nice place on the Cumberland River. I ordered the ribeye steak which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I would try the catfish which others in my group ordered. Everyone was happy with their food and the server, Kayla, was very sweet. She took great care of us."

"I think I am still trying to digest the triple meat and cheese I ate 4 years ago.",
"After hearing about Whataburger from friends we finally pulled ourselves away from In N Out and went to this location. After ordering we noticed how mustardy our burgers were. We looked and it had lettuce, tomatoes, onions and MUSTARD. We weren't sure if that is what was suppose to be so good at Whataburger so I went up to ask the manager. \nMe: Are Whataburgers suppose to be mustard only?\nManager: yeah\nMe: So that's what makes it a Whataburger?\nManager: yeah\nBoth of our friends were bummed when they found out about our experience since they love Whataburgers. \nWill try a different location but this excuse of a manager and the example he showed for CUSTOMER SERVICE to his employees is down the tubes.",
"I second what Jason P. said. There's not really much you can say about fast food burgers, they seem to either fall in the \"Taste like manufactured assembly line burgers\" or \"Fresh and Tasty\" category, Whataburger is the latter.",
"Never really was a fan of Whataburger until now. Been about 6 times now always getting the Green Chili Burger and yes I must admit it can be inconsistent at times. Overall it is a pretty big burger and helps my green chili burger fix, worth a try! Tip - Add Bacon!!!",
"Good burgers. We don't have Whataburger in California, so I decided to try one here. Was not disappointed. Good to try a different chain for once. Something different I noticed is that while I'm eating, the employees would regularly come ask for a refill or present to you any napkins or ketchup that you need. Good customer service!",
"I usually like Whataburger, but this location isn't very good about getting your order right. Many times I have gotten half way home, and realized they shorted me an item or two. Then I started counting the number of items to make sure I have the right amount, only to find, that instead of a burger, they gave me a chicken sandwich or something else. I always order gravy with my chicken strip meal, but several times I have found ranch or ketchup in the box when I get home. You seriously have to open and unwrap each item to make sure you get what you ordered. I would say they get it right less than 50% of the time. ^__^ \n\nI don't seem to have this problem at other locations.",
"Very friendly courteous staff and clean restaurant. The patty melt was pretty good. It's in a good location and somewhere I can get quick bite to eat. Plus, this restaurant is open 24 hours a day so that makes it convenient when you need to get something quick.",
"Whataburger. What. A. Burger. Yes. Knowing that there was one in town, all my friends said that we had to try it. We were on the way to one restaurant when we heard that this place was in Tucson, and immediately we did a detour. This doesn't exist where we're living (TN) so we definitely did that quick detour to this place. So what did I have? I actually gorged a little and ordered two burgers...and yes I did finish both of them.\n\nSo what were the burgers?\n1. Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger\n2. Bacon & Cheese Whataburger\n\nAnd what did I think? Those toasted 5 inch buns are no joke. They will fill you up quick! So, I actually just ate, and just kept eating. This burger was definitely interesting just because of the size, you really need two hands to hold it to eat it. Well done, I'm just sad that we don't have it here. I think it's definitely something I will eat if I ever see another one. All fast food burgers just can't compare now. (Minus In N Out, they have a special place in my heart)",
"Whataburger rocks and this is a great location!\n\nIt's right down the road from the Casino Del Sol Hotel where we stayed for the night on the way to Mexico.\n\nThis location has very friendly staff and has a very clean restaurant. We were there around 8am and we were welcomed and served hot burgers less than five minutes later.\n\nA Whataburger for breakfast sure beats an Egg McMuffin!",
"Awesome location. The store is clean and the staff is friendly. They are usually pretty quick too. Also they must be really law enforcement friendly because I always see sheriffs and police in there which is a nice feeling."

"Food is always fresh, and fantastic. Definitely the best Jamaican food I've had in the area. Generous portions and the prices are reasonable. The only drawback is that sometimes they run out of patties. They should consider offering delivery, and opening on weekends. Best new business to open in the downtown area in quite some time.",
"Only one another review? Come on, Trentonians! This little cafe seems to be a popular enough place during the lunch hour, and it stays open until 7p, which is later than most places in New Jersey's economically depressed state capital. Thanks to its generous portions served with good spirits, The Hummingbird has become a twice-a-week routine for me. Sure, the place could use some polish--the dry-erase board menu is often too smudged to read very well, and I wish they didn't keep their bathrooms hidden.\n\nBut the meals are never bad, and the sides are often fantastic. Their Festival could have been bland, but this doughy confection made a nice accompaniment to the flavorful jerk chicken. The curry goat could use a bit more intensity in my opinion, but when the meat is this tender I can manage with a problem that is otherwise easy to rectify. And the Jamaican patties are irresistible. Be warned: The Hummingbird does tend to run out of its items late in the day, since it's primarily a lunch place (like just about everything in Trenton), but even if you're settling for whatever they have left, your odds of a hit are just too favorable.",
"We visited Jamaica about a month ago and I was introduced to beef patties. Holy Moley are they delicious. So two weeks after we visited I was looking up recipes to make them on my own. Ugh no! Not going to happen. To make them takes all day and like 30 ingredients. So I started googling Jamaican restaurants near McGuire AFB. And Hummingbird was the first to pop up and had great reviews. So I had to check it out. Me, my husband and two friends went with us. It's in the middle of downtown Trenton, which is a lovely area. It's a small hole-in-the-wall and it is absolutely delicious. My husband had the BBQ wings. They are spicy even for our Latin taste. But so tasty you keep eating despite your mouth being on fire. The rice and peas (which is rice and beans) was better than any I had in Jamaica. My friend had the BBQ jerk and it was also juicy, tasty, spicy and better than the jerk I had in Jamaica. I had two beef patties. They were a 7 compared to the ones I had in Jamaica but it did fix my craving for them. The dough was a little bit thicker and crispier than the ones I had in Jamaica, which were soft and flaky. Oh and they have fried plantains. These are the sweet ones that are known as Maduro in the Latin world. But boy are they just as good. The cook made them fresh for us so they were piping hot. But we didn't care. Yummy. Def a place we will go to get great Jamaican food!!! The only thing I was sad about was that they didn't have any Jamaican coffee. :-(",
"What a charming place! Kind staff, interesting menu items, and a great ambiance inside. Almost every menu item has meat, though, so vegetarians will starve. Also, the juices look so good from the counter, but I think they're just Hawaiian Punch--so sweet my teeth hurt. But other than those two things, a really great experience.",
"Ambience is a bit sparse, but the food is fantastic and authentic!",
"I've been a loyal customer of another local Jamaican restaurant for over 10 years BUT this restaurant has become my go-to spot lately. I go specifically for the jerk chicken, hence the 4 stars, and it's DELICIOUS! Just the right balance of sweet heat and the sides are ALWAYS fresh. The ladies behind the counter are courteous and the atmosphere is OK..nothing too special. Just wish they stayed open a little later BUT, given their location, I understand why. All in all, it's a GREAT place to visit!",
"Love the fresh food and pleasant service at Hummingbird. I was referred here for some good jerk chicken. I was not disappointed! I have also had the Jerk salmon salad which is delish and Oxtails which are my favorite. I believe they are now open on Saturdays. I have never eaten at the restaurant. I order to go. It's not a fancy place inside but has always been neat and clean when I was there. Can't wait to go back to Trenton again! I will definitely pay them a visit!",
"The women working here- this seems like a family operation- were quite friendly and helpful when we explained this was our first visit, and got everyone's orders out in a timely fashion. Just walk up to the counter and check out the menu on the dry-erase board or ask for a paper menu, tell them what you want and pay, then wait for them to call your name when the order is up. Even if you're not eating in, the ska and reggae music make for a relaxing stay.\n\nBasic meal plan: one meat, rice with optional beans, and a side of your choice. The meats we tried, oxtail and curry goat, were fall-off-the-bone tender in some seriously flavorful sauces and not gamy at all, though the rice was a tad dry. Side dishes include things like \"cabbage\" and patties, but we ordered the festival, which tastes exactly like funnel cake, and hummingbird salad, which is like cole slaw, but better (lighter, tangier, more veggies.)\n\nDrink options include bottled sodas imported from Jamaica and are more worth your money than Snapples. Unless you're starving or want leftovers, the small option is just fine for lunch, though medium and large are offered as well, all at reasonable prices.\n\ntl;dr: Good food, great prices, and an inoffensive atmosphere unless you have something against Bob Marley. If you've never tried Jamaican food, this is a very accessible option.",
"Great jerk chicken and the cabbage side is awesome. Plantains and pattys are good too. Can't go wrong",
"While spending a Saturday in Trenton for a pair of events (the 18the annual Trenton Bike Tour and a play at NJ State Museum) my wife, a friend and I had lunch at Hummingbird. The Jamaican food was very tasty. It was also genuine, as attested to by our friend who is ethnically Jamaican. Luckily for us, Hummingbird seemed to be the only restaurant that was open in downtown Trenton on a Saturday afternoon, which, considering how much we enjoyed the cuisine, was a double success."

"This restaurant just opened and I personally think it's a very special place. The design, food, and environment is just mesmerizing. If you haven't been here I highly recommend that you at least check this place out.",
"the only good part is the sushi and sashimi. i'm surprised that they have octopus sashimi during dinner time. so far other food aren't that impressive. sushi and sshimi is what i'm here for.",
"I would highly recommend for all the sushi and seafood lovers to try this new restaurant. I personally think this is the best buffet in the town. They served variety of seafoods such as crab legs lobster clams crawfish n much more. They also have large selections for sushi and everything is fresh. And if u are not (seafood lovers) they also have other traditional foods to select from. One thing I really enjoyed and amazed were the design of that restaurant. I had a really great time there!",
"I greatly enjoy panasia or these reasons. That had lobster claws during dinner, king crab leg , the big dungeon crab, all the norm other stuff. But tasty food I really liked the sesame beef, I liked the grilled bar in the back. Great selection and wonderful value",
"Average chinese food, sushi was ok. But it said sushi and SEAFOOD. Where was the seafood? I only saw salmon and crab.... The food was just like any other place. The only difference being the extra variety of sushi. But if I were you, I'd rather spend an extra 10 bucks at an actual sushi buffet.",
"I think this place is pretty decent. Close by, reasonable price for all you can eat. Way better than Old Country Buffet.\n\nI mainly go here for the sushi and sashimi.\n\nThe only downside are that they charge you for dessert and the parking lot available is horrible.",
"A very good selection of sushi and sashimi....by far is the BEST ever served in a buffet. \n\nThe neighborhood is not the safest or nicest but to do a quick drive in for dinner would be at your own risk.\n\nI sincerely hope that they hire an armed security officer like Serabol Restaurant.",
"Delicious and fresh buffet. Sushi was scrumptious and fresh. The atmosphere is very nice for a buffet. Quality food. Was not disappointed for lunch!",
"Honestly wasn't expecting much when I arrived at Panasian Buffet this afternoon. It was my third choice within 20 feet. Decided against Pho because I didn't feel like it and already had Cafe Saigon banhmi twice this week already. \n\nBrowsing Panasian Buffet's yelp page showed much props for the sushi section and for $7.99 lunch special, its honestly worth the risk. \n\nBoy were they right. The quality of fish and extensive selection of rolls came as a surprise. Honestly one of their largest sections. The rolls were well made and comparable to sushi joints in the northeast and much better than typical Chinese buffet's half ass attempt at including Japanese fare.\n\nDownsides are really the parking, really small lot that gets packed quickly and only small selection of Chinese food of average quality as well as a weak HVAC system, really froze my ass off today while eating. Maybe they want you to leave quicker?\n\nBottom line, for basically the price of one roll at a Japanese place you can have a full selection already made.",
"It's a small buffet. Not much there. The sushi bar is small too, the fish isn't fresh- there are better buffets for sushi. They also load almost every roll with cream cheese and as much as I love cream cheese it is unnecessary.. well I guess it's cheaper for them to stuff it with cream cheese and you get fuller faster....\nIt just wasn't a place I'd like to go back to. Food was mediocre, edible but ehh... Staff mostly seemed unhappy. Just not worth it in any way."

"A really hearty cheap breakfast burrito filled with refried beans, scrambled eggs and cheese, $3.95. They use the yucky orange greasy cheese, so I suggest you have them leave that off. Grab some salsa in the cooler on the counter and you are good to go. The staff is extremely efficient, no chit chat here, probably due to the brisk biz. This burrito will keep your engine running till way past noon.",
"Thank God we got another place to eat in Oro Valley! I really don't know why the OV is such a sore spot for food, it's a wealthy area with a huge demand for new restaurants. All of my neighbors agree, we're sick of driving into town for good eats! \n\nNico's Taco Shop isn't exactly a restaurant, it's more of a fast food take-away spot for mexican food, but the food is always fresh and delicious. I'm a huge fan of the breakfast burritos and the carnitas pork burritos. The fare is pretty much the same as you'll find at other Tucson-location Nico's shops, so no surprises there. The shop is usually clean and smells like a mexican restaurant should. The only thing I don't like about this place is they're not the friendliest folk.\n\nOne funny note, whenever I come late at night (9pm or later), and my headlights pull into the shop, I see several kitchen staff pop up from the floor and start walking around the kitchen, looking busy. I guess they take naps on the floor when there's no business...",
"Coming from San Diego where the Mex food is far superior, Nico's should learn what a California burrito is all about. I have come to not eating Mex food in Tucson because, generally, it is inferior to Baja style.\nI look forward to my visits back to San Diego and the first thing I do is go to Roberto's where they know how to make a REAL carne asada burrito, not a fake one. And about all I eat during my stay is eat Mex.\n\nNico's is popular amongst people who don't know any better. Too bad.",
"Nico's food was good. Can't say us was great because I'v had better fast food Mexican b4. The place was not very clean. The floor was sticky and plastic utensil were dusty.",
"Right up front, their standard fair leaves much to be desired...the food is pretty plain and I don't recommend the normal menu. However, they have THE best breakfast burritos around! They are large, fresh cooked, stuffed with egg, bacon, cheese, and potatoes (the #1 anyway) and the price can't be beat. If you want coffee or juice, you will need to bring it with you or get it somewhere else. The service is quick with little conversation. So for breakfast, this is the place to go...even the firefighters eat here!!",
"Taquitos are a great value. Carna Asada is pretty good for price. Hand fried taco shells good. This location of this chain fast food restaurant is better than others.",
"Quick, cheap and decent food. What else do you want from a fast food place? Try the Beef Asada Tacos. For family meals, we pick rice and beans to go with plain, baked chicken. HUGE, fresh tortillas.....",
"First thing about any eatery is service, and this place blows. First time I went in was in the morning for a breakfast burro, and the guy working there never said a word to any of us who wanted to order. He just looked at me as if he wanted me to drop dead, as he did with the other patrons. The food was on par with his attitude. I threw it away after the first bite.\n\nA few months later, I gave it another chance. Several people in the back talking, while patrons were waiting to order. No one made any effort to take orders, just yucking it up. I left.\n\nFour months later I tried what turned to be my final time. The guy up front, who supposed be taking orders was on the phone. He didn't care how many people were in the place waiting. He was going to finish his call. After five minutes, I left. I'll never go back.\n\nThe only reason I went back that many times was because the Nicos @ Old Father and Ina, and the one @ Sunrise and Craycroft both have good food, and service.\n\nSorry thing is, in these reviews you have to give at least one star; it deserves four turds.",
"Although I am a fan of Nico's fast, friendly, reliable and delicious fare in general (the Campbell and Ft. Lowell location being a major exception), I dedicate this review, and all of these stars, to Nico's All-Star #1 breakfast burrito, especially as prepared at this location. \n\nWhen I lived in San Diego, this was the last Nico's on my way up to Tangerine and out of town, and the scene of many Last Meals in Tucson. Why is it so good? An ode, or a breakdown: \n\n1. They scramble the heck out of the eggs without compromising moisture and flavor. The result? The eggs are everywhere and nowhere, all at once. Clinging to the bacon, dancing with the cheese, never stealing the show, but without which this burro could not go on. These are the Phillip Seymour Hoffman of breakfast burrito eggs. \n\n2. Bacon. Real, crisp, diced bacon. Delicious, salty, crunchy bacon. Never spongy, fatty, gooey, lardy, or eraser-tough. It's like egg, cheese, and potato distributed bacon confetti instead of rice at the end of their plural marriage ceremony and are now heading for the limo, sprinkled with jubilant bits of porky goodness and ready to party.\n\n3. Cheese. I'm not sure this is actually cheese. It's too yellow, too oily, somewhat flavorless, but an excellent conductor of the myriad salty/fatty flavors happening here. \n\n4. Potatoes. Right on every time. Hot, tender, comforting, bite-size blocks of starchy deliciousness. Well-seasoned, they break up the richness of the burrito and impart a wonderful texture, and they're NOT FRENCH FRIES (I'm giving you the stink eye, creepy-tiki Campbell and Blacklidge location. How dare you incorporate limp, under-cooked FRIES into your burrito. How dare you). \n\nThis is my favorite breakfast burrito in Tucson, and the folks that work here are great. The guy on the always grill recognizes my husband from the late nineties. \n\nConveniently located in a very-earth toned strip mall across from Oro Valley Public Library, this Nico's is usually pretty quiet and seemingly clean in that overwhelming odor of antiseptic kind of way. Also recommend three rolled tacos with cheese; beans cheese rice & sour cream burrito.",
"I really don't know what to say. I am more than unimpressed. Normally I can find at least one thing I love about any particular establishment. I guess in this case it would be location alone. I am a lover of Nachos and was excited to try out Nico's Tacos Nacho Supreme which seemed to have good reviews here on Yelp... but I think not.\n\nThere was very little guacamole, and it was a bit brown. Not a huge deal, so it was just a bit past it's peak but still the gauc was good, just in very small supply. Also there was no choice of meats but they do serve them with Carne Asada, which was a plus... until I ate it. The Carne Asada was chewy and bland, but more than abundant. There were not enough actual tortilla chips to eat all of the nachos so we ended up throwing away half of it. Throwing away half of it was a plus I guess because after eating it my husband was sick for hours into the next day. I'm definitely not going back to this establishment."

"Good location in South St, should try the fish cake and Thai sausage. It's a brand new decor so everything looks new. Good for group of people. Big portion compare to other Thai place.",
"Was looking for a new place to go and we saw this new Thai Restaurant, so we gave it a shot.. and I'm so glad we did. The food is so good!! The place is completely brand new and in a comfortable setting, the staff are friendly, and of course the PRICE--- super affordable! I definitely recommend trying their Thai Fish Cake and of course the Pad Thai, my all-time favorite!",
"OH EM JIH... The foods was AWESOME!! The Thai ice tea was dope!! The server is the best server ever!! She's so kind and friendly.. She's a cool server..!! Would Definitely come again.. AWESOME SERVICE AWESOME FOODS AWESOME PLACE!!",
"Cozy new spot in South St! I love thai food and they are located just by my workplace, so they're perfect for me. I ordered drunken noodle and really enjoyed it. Excellent service and friendly waitress. Hope they stay busy so I can keep getting my thai fix from them!!",
"Love the food here. I always get the lunch special drunken noodle to go... love it! the woman there is always very pleasant and prices are really good, too. i never eat inside but it's cute, little and cozy!",
"We ordered takeout pad Thai , coconut soup, and mango sticky rice. The soup was excellent, very authentic but not very spicy, the pad Thai was as good as some we had back in Thailand. The mango sticky rice was also good although the sticky rice was not the real deal. Overall, pretty good based on our limited selection. Will definitely try more.",
"ordered salmon supreme, it became my fav entree... awesome",
"My first impression walking in was-- Wow, this place is tiny. It has only about half a dozen tables. Thankfully, a table of six was already in place. If you need to bring more than six people, I'd definitely call ahead. There only seemed to be a few people working (one lady serving as the waitress who likely was the owner, a delivery guy, and I'm assuming a chef or two).\n\nThe lady was very nice and fairly attentive. We being weird Chinese girls and given that it was pouring rain outside, we requested some hot water, which the lady served with a pretty black teapot set. The portion sizes were generous. One person ordered shrimp pad thai, which came with several decent-sized shrimp. My stuffed eggplant dish was delicious. Everyone was pretty pleased with their food.\n\nLike I mentiomed, it's a little cramped here but the food and portion sizes well make up for it. Welcome to Philly, Green Basil!",
"I decided to try this place cause it was new and the menu sounded good. I ordered pick up for the grilled beef salad. It was $8.64 and it was one of the most disappointing salads I've had. Because it was so small. Like a side salad portion. It was good but it's sad that I payed that much for a little salad.",
"I started with the Thai Sausages, the lemongrass and Kiefer lime leaves gave a nice floral note balancing out the salty pork goodness. I also ordered the Pad Sew Euw - the noodles were perfect, the pork was good."

"Good renovation, inside-out of the dining area.\nFeel cozy, ambient good feel. Both Thai and sushi are delish.\nFriendly staffs.",
"I Thai is amazing!!! The Ladna is what I get it's veggies and chicken in a gravy sauce and it's delicious! My husband gets spicy noodles with chicken and veggies with fried egg. This rest is better than most!",
"Outstanding. Nice interior, clean and well maintained. Fast friendly service. Jacuzzi duck is amazing, as are the currys. Spicy thai noodles can't be beat.",
"I ordered and my husband picked up our to go order tonight and so far, I am impressed. I told the lady who answered for to go orders that it was our first time trying the restaurant and she was happy to help with suggestions. We got red curry with chicken, spicy noodles with chicken and a simple Mexican sushi roll (my usual sushi go to is spicy tuna but I am pregnant so went with cooked). \n\nPortions were definitely big! Two entrees could definitely feed four and I am happy to have the left overs. :) \n\nSpicy Noodles had amazing flavors and were not overly spicy but had a small after bite kick. I ordered them medium spice as well as the red curry. I was very pleased with the red curry and my husband, who is not usually a curry fan, enjoyed it as well. I love how many bamboo shoots were in it and the pineapple was a nice touch - I have only had pineapple in my red curry at a few places. \n\nThe Mexican wasn't the greatest but it was bad either. I just am spoiled with sushi further south on Seminole Blvd at Jimmy's. \n\nOverall, this will be our go to for Thai food, which is exactly what I was looking for!!",
"Good renovation, inside-out of the dining area.\nFeel cozy, ambient good feel. Both Thai and sushi are delish.\nFriendly staffs",
"Seriously the calamari was so dry n full of breading .... which says on menu slightly .. never again will go there .the worse calamari I ever got ...",
"I moved from New York City to Miami to L.A. To seminole... all I can say is what a find!!!! I have also had them deliver and totally outstanding. All six children love it... it's a absolute Win Win",
"Great service! Great food! Great menu! Often times the owner will come out and say hi!",
"Quick and friendly service,the fresh spring rolls rocked, the peanut dipping sauce was amazing. The ithai chicken was good but toouch sodium for my liking. I will be back but with request no sodium with the dish that was great except for that. The facility was clean and you can carry on a conversation easily. I will be back",
"Fast and courteous service. Had the Salmon Lover Roll and Miso Soup which were both very good. Menu has many options."

"I love Liberty Bar. This place is great! It's a sport bar, pub and dance club all mixed in one. The food and drink selection is great (I've never been to a pub where you can get a caipirinha @ the bar). In addition, Liberty has great music and DJs. Being a electronic music lover, I'm impressed that Liberty Bar attracts top talent from around the city and internationally to play this small gem on market street. Definitely make it a point to stop by and check it out!",
"This place is cool. It's not \"off the beaten path\" but it's pretty close. It's definitely in a spectacularly isolated location, with the porn shop right next door, right on Market. It's a tucked in little corner, but it's got the swagger of any Market Street tavern. Here's my beef, though: the beers on tap are all merely average--there's nothing special about them, or their prices (not even one \"specialty\" beer--what?!?!?). The place is small, and intimate, which is a good, solid quality, but it didn't seem like the bar was going for any kind of theme, and despite how \"dive\" the place might seem to be, it's pretty jazzed up with great lighting and knickknacks on the walls.\n\nThe crowd is a mixture of young people and older types. There is an electronic video game machine at the bar tempting you to play. Browsing the categories but refusing to spend any money, I came across about fifty erotic games available for your heathenly delights.\n\nThe bartend was a nice young woman who seemed surprised that my friends and I were all there the day after New Year's. Finally, the live music were these two local deejays that were pretty raging, giving a good mixture of electronic and hip hop tunes that made the somewhat average place glimmer up a bit. I'll probably go back to this place at some point down the road, even though I'm not completely thrilled about it just yet.",
"It was a little scary going to a bar next door to a porn theater, but also kind of intriguing. Friends and I had been wanting to check this place out for a while, but it's location always deterred us (sketchy spot and a bit of a hike). Until last Saturday.\n\nA bit of a disappointment in that the bar isn't sketchy at all, just your standard small pub with a local feel. Our group of 7 including a few loud drunk guys definitely brought some \"life\" to the place - the 3 other patrons probably weren't thrilled but the bartender seemed to get a kick out of us. He was authentically Irish (cool accent), friendly (good attribute for a bartender), and made us his favorite shot, Bazooka Joe (good if you like bubblegum tasting shots). He was definitely the best part of the bar.\n\nGood little local place, but nothing stood out. Probably won't go back just because it's out of the way and unremarkable. But a solid place.",
"Liberty Bar is definitely located in an odd spot but its a perfect neighborhood bar. The bartenders are friendly, their food is great and they have amazing Blueberry Martini's. I've been there several times but most recently on a Wednesday. The place was pretty empty, ok it was dead.... six people total including the bartender, owner/chef, and the dj. The DJ was willing to play whatever you requested and kept playing songs that shocked us because we hadn't heard them in 10 years.. the kind of thing where you're like I LOVE this song but haven't thought of it since the '90's... Its definitely a small bar but can be a good place to grab a bite to eat and talk without being bothered. For me its definitely a weeknight place",
"So a couple of weeks ago my roommate dragged me out to this bar to meet up with a few of our friends. I have to say I was totally thrown off because right when I stepped out of the cab there was this huge porn shop/theatre right in view. I thought we had the block all wrong, but no, right next door was this cute little bar, in the most bizarre location.\n\nWe get in the bar and it was definitely slow but we were like 4 meeting up with about 5 or 6 more so it made the bar look full. We sat down and were greeted by the bartender Megan (pretty rad chick), and the owner Aristotle ( who was also pretty rad)! The drinks were inexpensive, there was live music from the 2 d-jays, my friends and I had a great time. Megan took great care of us, even gave me a free shot before I left. Which is 2 thumbs up in my book. Liberty bar is definitely a cool place if you can look past what you have to walk by to get there.",
"I spent this past NFL Sunday at Liberty Bar and I was pleasantly surprised. Wings were 20 for $10 which is an amazing deal and the rest of the menu was equally as affordable. Best part is that that the food is actually very good. The owner/chef Aristotle takes pride in his cooking and you can see him working hard in the back whippin' up the goodies. We also tried the Greek Salad and Burger and Fries and both dishes were solid. Add to that the $3 Yuenglings that were on special and it was overall a nice afternoon with some good football action.\n\nThe staff was friendly and as big a sports fans as we were. They have RedZone for NFL fans that shows you all the key plays during NFL Sundays in real-time. They also showed the other games playing locally on TV. The place is small but cozy, and it was not super packed. We were especially please with the comfortable bar seating, nice and comfortable! haha!\n\nI'll definitely be checking this place out more often for the great wings and the nice atmosphere. Enjoy.",
"Myself and a friend went here a few months ago on a Saturday. My friend had went a few years ago and had a really good time there. Sure enough, I agree after attending.\n\nIt's a small bar with a small crowd, soccer games on every TV, two middle-aged DJs spinning, mixing and scratching their favorite vinyls.\n\nIt has a really nice ambience, inexpensive drinks and a comfortable crowd. The food smelled really good too. Definitely check it out, maybe as a first stop on your crawl around Center City.",
"Nice place, just a little loud on the music. I guess young people are deaf",
"This place is amazing! Great food,affordable and absolutely beautiful. If your in the philly area, this is a place you don't want to miss.",
"Just your basic pub, in a weird spot on Market Street. It's really pretty nice inside despite its porn neighbor. The bartender was attentive, and we never had to wait very long with an empty glass. They are really into soccer so that was interesting considering the other sports that were playing that night. Draft list is pretty basic. People were eating, but we decided to go somewhere else for food because there were a lot of fruit flies around which made me question the food."

"The Hideaway is a dive bar in south STL which boasts it has live piano music, but I guess I just go here on the wrong nights; I've never been able to catch it. The Hideaway is a tiny hole-in-the-wall, and if you're looking for that kind of place, you should come here. I don't know why, but I love this bar. The drinks are poured heavily, they're cheap, and the crowd is older and leaves you alone. This is a nice place to have a few drinks, admire the strange and antiquated decor, and not listen to a piano.",
"I really can't say I understand this bar. It advertises itself as a piano bar, but other than a jukebox blasting classic rock and a waitress that runs around singing along with the thing, I can't say I have ever seen any live music in this place....EVER. \n\nEven though it doesn't have live music, I really love coming to this bar. It's tiny and unassuming and from what I can tell, most of the neighborhood has forgotten that it exists since it's nearly empty all the time, even at 11PM on a weekend night. My friends and I are usually about 30 years younger than the mean age of this place, but that's never a problem. It's nothing stellar but if you are just looking for drinks and conversation, this may be perfection...especially if you aren't looking for great lighting for, well, whatever reason you wouldn't want great lighting.",
"Ah the never ending war between old-timers and hipsters. I've seen this unusual phenomenon in piano bars before. The hipsters will always win by default, since they technically will live longer. But the old-timers invented the style the hipsters emulate. Nonetheless it's a fascinating war to witness, I just personally wish the battlefield didn't smell like an antique ashtray. I guess spectators can't be choosers. Decor: weird underage painting of girls, super low light via what I assume are year round Christmas tree lights. Patrons: crusty veterans from foreign wars and the original women that they they modeled their aircraft paintings of * and * hipsters with immaculately messy hair with sweet thrift store sports coats . There are even hipster girls that the old guys might ask for a dance on that 5' x 5' dance floor you're not supposed to have your PBR on. Make sure you bring some cash, the waitress with the Marlboro voice seems to not favor tabs.",
"The other reviewers are either going on Sunday night or too early in the evening. There is live entertainment from 9-midnight six nights a week here. We frequent Oliver's Thursday nights. He's amazing. He plays the trumpet and the keyboard at the same time. Mark Dew, the weekend entertainment, is a little more country. Last time I saw him, he did a spot on Willie Nelson impression. We have yet to make it to Bobby's Tuesday nights. Mix in cheap drinks, a dancefloor, some drunk/cool old people and one overworked bartenderess and you have one pretty good time.",
"Dive bars for life! We stopped in late on my birthday to witness the phenomonen that is The Hide Away. \n\nThis place reminds of me a tiny slice of The Dresden in LA. A corner with hipsters, a table of middle-aged mountain lions, red shag-carpeted bar, a diverse crowd. It is the place that time forgot, and that is just fantastic. We met a charming couple celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. And yes, they danced together on the 10x10 dance floor to a Johnny Cash ditty. The live piano/guitar duo that night was charming as it was enjoyable. They played request after request. Danced to Sinatra. Surprisingly, the lead singer/piano player did not know who Kesha was. The owner shook our hands on the way out and thanked us for coming. Drinks are cheap. \n\nIf it weren't for coming home with a sore throat due to breathing in a carton of cigarette smoke, I would go back every weekend. Warning: Don't swim in the fountain inside the front doors.",
"Fun when its dead. Interesting spot, you must check it out at least one time.",
"The \"piano\" at this bar is actually a keyboard. The \"piano\" player has all of the personality of a tree. I visited the Hide Away with a group of friends on a Saturday night about 9:30. We left around midnight.....We stayed this long only because we were really enjoying each others company..not the \"entertainer\"....this guy never said one word to the crowd, just played his little keyboard. He never smiled or made eye contact....not an entertainer at all. On a positive note...the waitress was friendly and provided good service. If you don't like smoky places, stay away from the hide away......poor ventilation system and cigars are allowed........except on the dance floor...(go figure)",
"If Lawrence Welk's spirit came back as a 29 year old hipster with jagged bangs, a penchant for PBR and parliament cigarettes, you'd find him cozyed up at The Hideaway every night of the week. Once there, he'd strike up a nominal conversation with the Coen brothers, who, too distracted for anything beyond their furious note-taking, brainstorm their next bizarrely situated movie, most likely some sort of dark comedy, opening with a menacing twist on Moon River for the opening title track. \n\nWeeks ago, Ethan Coen actually asked Mark Dew, The Hideaway's resident and blinded keyboard piano player if he would play Moon River at his request. Ethan's hand snapped quickly away from the Garfield Tip Fish Bowl jar as Mark snarled in a low growl, \"I don't sing that song here,\" and went on to masterfully slip into a perfectly pitched Willie Nelson \"Always on My Mind.\" Back at the table, Joel was so thoroughly impressed, that he yearned to hear Mark sing \"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain\" but his brother's exchange created too much fear in his heart to ask.\n\nRelinquishing any hope of decent conversation with those two, Lawrence turned his attention back to his contemporaries and smiled. His soul danced and sang with the still lively octogenarians, sipping on their kitty cocktails, enjoying the soft bounce clap round the piano that old people are fond of doing. Yet his spirit ran with the youths, wrapped in their well worn flannel, chipped nail polish flicking cigarette stubs , raking through unwashed yet still attractive hair and keeping time to intense chatter of some sort of cultural disaster or another. To Lawrence, The Hideaway was the ying and the yang, the salt and pepper, the ebb and tide, the perfect balance of the self.\n\nSomewhere on a humid summer night, our road weary brethren heed the silent call of The Hideaway. Barmaids always wanted, Mark Dew always singing, (lately a recorded voice sings, as his health ails him) and the damned best cheap Makers Manhattans always flowing atop of the red shag carpeted bar. Like the dried up fountain at the front door, the past and hope for the future is gone here, just an endless shadowbox bar in the diorama of time.",
"One of my top 5 favorite bars in St. Louis. \n\nIt's kitchsy, and you can smoke there. Bring your grandma.",
"The minute that you set foot in The Hideaway, you'll swear that you just stepped out of your time machine set to the 1940s. Frank Sinatra music rules this place, the divey décor is right out of a Bonnie and Clyde movie, and half the patrons are still partying like it's 1945 (although now around 85 years old).\n\nIt all adds to the experience! I go to the Hideaway when I want to drink whisky sours out of giant brandy glasses, participate in boozy sing-a-longs to \"You Were Always on My Mind\" and \"Fly Me to the Moon\", do lots of alcohol-induced social cigarette smoking, and socialize with the utmost colorful cast of characters.\n\nMark my words, there's no other place like The Hideaway!"

"I have been a longtime fan of the american restaurants and longed for a great place like this here. Finally it has arrived. We went on opening day and everything was absolutely crazy. Because they had some staffing issues or something they were forced to close early so we were afraid we wouldn't get to eat, but the owner came out and made sure we were well taken care of. The staff was friendly (if new and inexperienced) and the food tasted absolutely fantastic. They didn't do drink refills, which was a little surprising, but for the amount of food I got for $12 (a very large omelette w/ stack of 3 pancakes) I left very satisfied.",
"Is there a half star?\n\nYou enter the restaurant and are greeted by a beautiful scent of bleach and eggs. You are seated in a dining room that is reminiscent of a hospital food court or high school cafeteria. Most likely your table will be sticky. If you are \"lucky\" enough to be seated in the chairs rather than in a booth you will get to hear everything your neighbor has to say because the tables are that close together. Your server will be stressed because of the high client traffic, he or she will try to smile and will attempt to remember your order. Your swiss crepes will arrive uncooked with raw batter remaining, while your partners stuffed apple cinnamon French toast will change forms without consent and arrive soaked with strawberries instead. The side of hash browns you order to share will be raw. \n\nIf such a dining experience interests you ... enjoy.",
"The last time I went to an IHOP was over 5 years ago (in the Vancouver area). It was the best waffles I have ever eaten. When I found out IHOP was opening here in Edmonton I was pretty excited. I've put off going until now (today) because with a restaurant just opening up brand new, there are always kinks to work out.\nPretty much every table was taken. It was a pretty busy night. I was seated at my table and after three minutes a man (who I'm going to assume is the supervisor) asked me if I had been asked for a drink. I said no (I didn't say I had just sat down). He took my drink order and I also gave him my food order since I was already ready. \n\nI ended up ordering the stuffed french toast meal (comes with hasbrowns, eggs, bacon). I didn't order the waffles I had because I didn't want to crush my memory if it turned out to be not as good as I remembered. \n\nI waited about 20 mins for my food to arrive (I was told 10-15 mins). Because it was so busy it's understanding to have it take a little longer. \n\nI found my meal quite pleasant. I really enjoyed the scrambled eggs which was very creamy. \n\nWhile eating my waitress asked me three times how everything was (which I usually find annoying.... I like to eat in peace) but I suppose it shows that they are being attentive. \n\nAlthough my experience was good, I noticed that I received, ate, and left before two tables around me even received their food (they were sitting down before I got to my table). I'm going to assume my food came much earlier because my order was taken by the supervisor and that I was a table of one while the other two tables were four.\n\nI'd go back and eat here again.",
"I'll start with the good news - my stuffed french toast was hot, fresh and quite tasty.\n\nIt did, however, come 30 minutes after the rest of our group's food.\n\nFirst things first. We came in willing to wait but, after an hour and a half of sitting in the lobby, it turned out that they had skipped our name on the list. The front staff apoligized and sat us within 15 more minutes. After 10 more minutes, the waitress came to take our drink orders. We finally received them 20 minutes after that. We placed our meal orders, and tried to stop looking at the clock. When we got our food (mostly), some of the toppings were different, but we were so hungry at this point that everything was devoured.\n\nI'd like to state that very little of this was the waitress' fault. It seemed as though the entire staff was poorly-trained and confused. There was an excess of managment roaming the floor, doing very little to help.\n\nI'd chalk this all up to opening issues and head back in a few months when it had calmed down, if it were not for the final straw. We asked to speak to a manager as we were paying. As we were commenting our dining experience, we were told, \"You're just one guy, your opinion doesn't matter.\"\n\nI'm not going back to this location. Even if the french toast was tasty.",
"I went in to IHOP with an expectation of basically Denny's++, and my expectations were exceeded. \n\nIt was surprisingly busy for a late weekday morning... we had to get on a list and wait for awhile, but I think we only waited about 10, maybe 15 minutes tops for our table. Our server was very friendly and attentive and genuinely interested in making sure we enjoyed our food and our experience. \n\nOur food arrived pretty quickly, given how busy it was. I got pancakes with eggs, bacon and hash browns. The eggs, bacon and hash browns were pretty much your standard breakfast chain sort. Delicious grease. I had strawberry banana pancakes with that, which were way better than a recent banana pancake attempt at home. And with butter pecan syrup. Yum. \n\nOne thing I like about IHOP is that they have four syrup flavours and coffee on your table so you don't have to wait. I'm also hoping they do seasonal flavours like in the US. (Pumpkin pancakes around Thanksgiving? Please?) And next time I am going to try the lingonberry crepe. \n\nI also noticed they do take-out, so if you don't want to wait but you need your chocolate chip pancakes, you're golden.",
"I went to IHOP after hearing great things from a friend...I ordered the \"Split Decision\", which is two eggs, two strips of bacon, two corners of french toast, and three buttermilk pancakes. My wife had scrambled eggs with french toast (this version was stuffed with cream and had strawberries on top). My mom had a spinach and cheese omelet with three blueberry pancakes on the side. The bottomless coffee was not very good and the pancakes were undercooked.\n\nOverall the meal was passable but certainly not worth the 45 minute wait for a table.",
"Face it, people -- you don't go to IHOP for gourmet or ambiance, you go for a heaping stack of good old carbs! And do carbs ever disappoint? Personally, not at IHOP. It's one of my top 5 places for comfort food. Just gimme a big stack of those old-fashioned buttermilk pancakes and lay on the syrup! Yeah, I'm an easy girl to please, but don't tell anyone else that.\n\nI have and always will love pancakes. And I always used to lament that Edmonton paled in comparison to Vancouver (Burnaby specifically) because we did not have an IHOP. (There's something odd when you don't much care about the ocean and the mountains but more for pancakes) So when the fiance and I were driving back from the airport one night on Calgary Trail, I gasped and found myself literally unable to speak after seeing the billboard announcing that IHOP was finally coming to Edmonton. My fiance was freaked out of his mind, as he thought there was something wrong as he was driving.\n\nNo matter what time of day it is, morning, noon or evening, I will exercise my right to have pancakes. So naturally, my first meal here was a dinner of pancakes. That's normal enough, right? If you're a fellow pancake-lover and have a sweet tooth, I recommend getting the Tooti-Fruiti (I'm so not making that name up), which comes with strawberry pieces and strawberry sauce drizzled on top. If your sugar tastebuds don't rule your mouth, go for a combination instead. You can choose your type of pancakes and throw them together with the classic side choices of bacon, sausage links, eggs, or hashbrowns. I'm going to be honest and admit their scrambled eggs are not so great --they're pretty much some kinda pre-mixed egg liquid they pour into the frying pan and stir up, i.e. not fresh.\n\nBut you don't go to IHOP for the eggs! You go for the pancakes ... they're not called The International House of Pancakes for nothing! If you plan on going, avoid Sunday afternoons as it is mayhem. We attempted going one Sunday around 1:30 PM and the waiting area was packed. One woman walked out muttering, \"It's not worth it.\" So be forewarned! But have fun, stuff your face, and get your pancakes on :)",
"I had been hearing mixed reviews about Edmonton's IHOP, but I really wanted to go. When I went in Kelowna it was a great experience, and I've been craving the fluffy IHOP pancakes ever since.\n\nWe walked in around lunchtime on a Friday and there was a 50 minute wait for a table. Luckily, we had to pop out and run an errand, so we were back just in time to be seated. After getting a table on the side, we were immediately given a jug of coffee and our waitress took our drink order.\n\nTo say the place was a bit chaotic is an understatement. It's still very busy, with many people hanging about the front, eying down tables. There were families, friends, and groups in any space manageable, and we needed to shift our table back a foot or two just so that my friend had a bit of space to breathe. \n\nOur waitress was friendly, and as attentive she could be in the madhouse which is IHOP, but she took our orders and was on her way. After waiting about a half hour we got our meals. My eggs weren't the sunny side up eggs I had asked for, and the waitress realized it moments after putting the plate on the table. But eggs are eggs, and we were hungry so we ate.\n\nA perk of IHOP is that there are four different syrups for you to apply to your pancakes. I'm partial to strawberry, but there is also blueberry, butter pecan, and your standard syrup. Our food was standard, nothing amazing... but the pancakes left a lot to be desired. \n\nOverall, the experience was okay, but nothing I will rush back to repeat.",
"I have to say that hearing all the hype about this place I was expecting something more then I got. We had to wait 20 minutes to get seated and it was only half full (late afternoon on Sunday.) We then sat at our table for 10-15minutes before anyone acknowledged we were there. Food was below average and somewhat expensive for what we got. Would I go back? Probably not....not for the wait.",
"The first time I was at this IHOP was a month after it opened and it was incredibly busy...people lined up outside the restaurant. However, we only waited 10 minutes before we were called to our table, service and food arrived very quickly and everything was wonderful. \nNext time was about 6 weeks ago and again the place was jammed pack but we only waited 15 minutes for our table on a Saturday afternoon.\nFood was again delicious and huge but we waited about 30 minutes for our food.\nNow I was just there today July 19, 2011 and finally there was no line up and the restaurant was 3/4 full. We waited 10 minutes before our waitress arrived for our order. Then we waited 30 minutes in a 3/4 full restaurant for our food which was HORRIBLE. Our food arrived cold, there was no flavor, the beef in the pot roast sandwich was covered in a thick pasty gravy, cheese on the omelette and in sandwich looked like it was put on at the last minute (cheese should have been melted inside).\nWe had these items before and it was great then but disgusting now.\nOur waitress was overworked or just couldn't handle the few tables she had.\nThe manager/owner was kinda unpleasant to deal with. He bragged how much $$$ this restaurant makes in a week, that this was the first time he had ever heard anything bad about his restaurant, barely made an effort to listen to what I had to say when he was the one who asked, implied that it was my fault that I thought the food tasted bad and tried to make me feel guilty for not bringing his attention to the food immediately....so where were all the staff that I could have asked? I certainly couldn't even find my own server.\n\nSTAY AWAY!!!!"

"I've been going to Ruiz since I was 2 years old, and I still love it now in my 30's. Why do I love it so much? Well, three reasons ... it's clean, their service is good, and it's consistently delicious. Their quesadillas (baked in the oven till hot in the center, with lots of melty cheese), enchiladas (with a killer enchilada sauce), pork tamales (with shreded beef topping), and spicy salsa can't be beat. Their totopos (flat, fried flour tortillas topped with shredded beef or chicken, beans, lettuce, and cheese), pepitos (fried flour tortillas filled with beef or chicken, fried, then filled with lettuce & tomato), refried beans, and Spanish rice, are to die for, too. \n\nSeriously, their food is hands down, the best. This is my favorite Mexican food. I've yet to find any better, either in Mexico, or the US. It's fantastic! Some prefer Tex-Mex, and that's fine, but if that's what you want, then don't go to Ruiz. If you want authentic Mexican, though ... this is the place for you.",
"Great family owned restaurant/bar.\n$3 Margaritas on Wednesday Nights.\nFood is pretty decent.\nLots of TVs to watch sporting events.\nService is pretty good.",
"I used to go here fairly often in high school before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. The food is pretty good, and they often have good deals on drinks. Today, I went with my family for a birthday. They have reduced the menu significantly since I've last been there, and my favorite thing was the Queso Gringo and chips! \n\nThe service was excellent! They said that I was their \"third gluten allergy person\" that they have had, but they were very knowledgeable about my needs. They were more than willing to accomodate me! Unfortunately, I started munching on chips before inquiring, so now I am more than a little uncomfortable due to cross-contamination in the fryer. While that was my own fault, I don't see myself choosing to go back there anytime soon just because I wasn't super impressed by anything besides the chips, queso, and salsa. But the service was 5 stars!!!",
"I love the fajitas here. I usually order to go and end up just eating the fajita meat and veggies out of the go container. Really good flavor. The beans and rice and really good too. I just don't get up that far north very often but if I did I'd probably go more. Family run, good service, worth a visit.",
"Really yummy! The empanadas are the BEST! As an added bonus, they have a KILLER rewards program. If you eat Mexican a lot (or even if you don't), the rewards can stack up. Both my husband and I got free coupons for our birthdays and our anniversary. Nice.",
"Very average all the way around.\n\nWe went on a Tuesday night to have some margaritas, eat some grub and watch the Cards game. For this, we sat at the bar, mainly because the sign outside said drink specials at the bar during Cardinals and Blues games. Apparently, this did not apply to margaritas and the waitress was a little on the rude side when we asked about it. Whatever.\n\nFirst impression was that service was extremely slooooow. Took awhile to get our drinks. Took awhile to get chips n salsa...took even longer to get our food. Not very attentive at all. Again, whatever. We were not in a rush so not a huge deal.\n\nI got the Plato Chico which had a taco, an enchilada, and a tostada. All very average. I also think it either sat around for a bit or they nuked it in the microwave (or both), I literally had to scrape the plate with every bite, it was practically glued to the bottom. The BF got the steak chimi, which he said was also very average.\n\nThe margaritas were good but on the weak side. We had two big ones and I couldn't really feel any sort of punch from them. Tasted okay though, I don't like them sweet, which they weren't, so points for that.\n\nAtmosphere was good. They had decent music going from the jukebox and there was a good crowd. Seemed like maybe some softball teams that maybe Ruiz sponsors? Dunno. They had a good amount of TV's set up around the bar (they even have TV's in the windows so the people on the smoker's patio can watch, I thought that was pretty cool). We did notice however, the bar staff treats the regulars really well, but made \"outsiders\" like us, feel even more neglected. Not cool.\n\nThen came the bill. $65!!!! Holy schnikey!! For 2 meals and 2 margs apiece?!?! That is INSANE! Obviously you add tax and tip and that makes it even more ree-donkey-lips. Especially for average food and weak margaritas. Wow. I am still in shock as I write this. Deduct a star for raping my wallet.\n\nWe can find a crap load of better Mexican places that are cheaper, have better food, and stronger/better margaritas. We will not be coming back here.",
"UPDATE: HERE IS ANOTHER RESPONSE RECEIVED FROM THE OWNER OF RUIZ:\n\n\"Ruiz is a family owned and operated place. There is not an hour where one of my family is not there. You were attended by Bobby who has been a loyal valued server at Ruiz for years and years. Chloe, my daughter, also attended to your table. Your daughter's water refill before her dinner arrived was attended to by my daughter. Your daughters chicken rings arrived shortly after your steak chimi arrived, there was no need to alert you to any delay. The rings are frozen fully cooked, so they fry instantly . Even if they are prepared after the dinners go out, it takes just a few minutes. Chloe attended you, saw the rings arrive and you did not mention any dissatisfaction at that time, in fact you seemed quite pleased. If this is not the response you expected, it is the response I am proud to offer you. My staff are professionals who pay for homes and raise their families on Earnings from Ruiz. I'm proud of that. I'm proud of our food, -the chicken rings are a forced menu item for kids. You enjoyed Certified Angus Beef in your steak chimi. Wildly expensive beef , Top quality beef No other mexican restaurant for hundreds and hundreds of miles serve that top quality of beef. I'm proud of that. Quality costs extra. I'm willing to stick by quality and charge more than Taco Bell. Where you can pay less for self service and low grade food. Thank you for your input, as you said in your post (but not last night) you are not coming back. Ruiz is not for everyone, I'm proud of that.\"\n\nIt's a shame when the customers who contribute to the payment of said bills mean so little. I have downgraded my opinion to one star. They can keep their bean dip.\n\nORIGINAL REVIEW:\n\nMade my second trip to Ruiz last night. The second star is ONLY for the bacon jalapeno bean dip, which was delicious, although the serving size has been cut in half since I was last at Ruiz a couple of months ago. \n\nIt was my boyfriend, myself, and his two kids. To start, the chips were stale and the salsa tasted like ketchup. \n\nThe little one ordered chicken rings and fries, which came out about 10 minutes after we had all received our food. When it was finally brought to the table, the waiter said nothing about the wait, just sat the basket down and walked away. \n\nMy boyfriend ordered a steak chimichanga, and the steak was tough and fatty, which will definitely ruin any sort of \"stuffed\" entree. The rice was hard, not as if undercooked, but as if it had sat under a lamp for an hour. \n\nI ordered a create-your-own combo, with a pork flauta, a chile colorado quesadilla, and a spinach empanada. The flauta was ok, although the pork was a bit burnt at the ends. The quesadilla was soggy, but the sauce wasn't horrible. I saved the piece that I was looking forward to for last. The spinach empanada was something I loved on my first visit, so when I bit into it, I was very unpleasantly surprised to find it was filled with nothing but salty ground beef, not the tasty spinach mixture I was expecting. \n\nOne of the kids ordered a taco salad, which was a heaping amount of lettuce with a few small pieces of grilled chicken on top. \n\nWe also had to ask someone other than our server for refills on our drinks (because our server only filled two of ours). \n\nEvery restaurant has good days and bad days, so my boyfriend wrote a post to a friend of his who knew the owners, letting them know of our bad experience there. The owner's response? \"We haven't been in business for 46 years by pissing people off.\" That was the icing on the cake. Not only does this establishment get away with small portions, crappy service, and sub-par food, they don't even have enough class to form a professional, gracious response to criticism. In my opinion, that's the worst part. \n\nNeedless to say, we won't be going back.",
"Excellent fajitas! Friendly service. Wonderfully decorated, southwestern atmosphere. Restrooms need some help\n Enjoyed every minute at this restaurant.",
"Visited on 7/13/12. I am very glad that the menu now contains the Carne Asada Taco's, as this offers me a good option for lower calories. The steak was seasoned well, and not over the top on the heat. The meat was not tough or too chewy. I felt it was just the right texture for the tacos. It is a very simple dish, and you get exactly what the menu describes. The tacos, onion, cilantro and salsa.The service was good. There was a mix up on my wife's dish (Pollo Adobado), she wanted black beans instead of the pinto. The problem was resolved quickly. Her comments about the Pollo Adobado: \"Deliciously seasoned, good balance of meat to veggies, will definitely order this again\"",
"I recently tried the newly offered Tacos Al Pastor. There are 4 tacos to the order. They arrived and were generously topped with the pork. There were also onions, lettuce and cilantro for toppings. The pork was very tender. The seasoning was very delicate and I did not note any spicy or hot flavor to the pork. \nThe dominate flavor to the tacos was the sweetness of the pineapple. I was expecting a bit more balanced taste. I would not say the dish was bad, just not what I expected. I tried adding a bit of the salsa that came with the chips. That did add heat to the taco, but just didn't seem to meld with the other flavors. The pork, although very tender, added only some background texture and not a great deal of flavor. I am glad I tried something different, and would rate the dish as fair."

"So glad Mimi's is finally opened! It provides a great option for pizza, cheesesteaks and salads in Cherry Hill. The prices are very reasonable and they have a wide variety on the menu! \n\nWe called for pick-up and got a bunch of different things so we could try a little of everything and share in a big group. We did a cheesesteak, pizza steak, buffalo chicken cheesesteak, fries, and mozzarella sticks. The owner was so nice and since they were closing he gave us 6 slices of pizza free!! \n\nThe cheesesteak was great. Much better than a lot of other places in the area. You get a big hoagie stuffed with meat and cheese. The pizza steak was also delicious with a nice tomato sauce. \n\nThe buffalo chicken cheesesteak was really good! It is spicy and definitely has a nice amount of sauce on it. There were big hunks of bleu cheese which I'm not a huge fan of but I know some people like! \n\nThe mozzarella sticks come with like 8 to an order and were good. They tasted almost homemade! And we got a nice big order of fries for the side. \n\nThe pizza slices were gigantic. The crust is the perfect amount of crispness and we really liked the flavor. My sister loved he tomato pie while I preferred the white pizza with broccoli and tomatoes. \n\nWe will definitely order from Mimi's again and are happy to have them in the neighborhood! The owner is super friendly and we can't wait to try more. I believe they will have delivery or do already as well!",
"Went to Mimi's late at night to pick up a cheesesteak pizza. Staff was very friendly and my food came out immediately! Pizza itself was very yummy as well, would recommend!!",
"I stopped in this afternoon after hearing good reports from the neighborhood Facebook page. \n\nThis pizza is the real deal. I know what I am talking about because I am a passport holding Italian citizen. I can't stand most local pizza (I like this and Vetri), but my kids make me go to places. This is excellent pizza! Try the square pieces. They have fresh mozzarella cheese. \n\nThe people who run this restaurant speak Italian. There were other Italian speakers there. You know if the Italians from Italy are showing up that this is good enough to persuade them not to cook for themselves. This is a very high standard to meet. \n\nThey serve coffee in tiny espresso cups.\n\nI can't wait to go back!",
"Mimi's is amazing especially the pizza we abandoned all our usual pizza spots for Mimi's. Their cheese steaks are delicious too. I'm not a fan of their wings if they got better they would be the perfect spot.",
"On my way home, I stopped at Mimi's on Route 70 in Cherry Hill. They are conveniently located right on the highway, with plenty of parking.\n\nSome of the other Yelpers mentioned that the cheesesteaks were good, and since they're in the Philly area, I thought I'd give it a try. The pizza didn't look as good because it was sitting out. I really liked how they had fresh bread on the cheesesteak, and it was made to order for me. It came out very quickly, too. The staff were all nice.",
"Ordered the chicken parm pizza twice and the meatball sub/cheesesteak. All delicious. Pizza 5/5. Subs 4/5. Garlic sticks with the tomato sauce 5/5. Pizza dough is excellent. Easily the most authentic/best Italian delivery in the immediate area.",
"Some the BEST PIZZA around. And they deliver! For those cheat nights, Mimi's is a win win!",
"Great pizza for Cherry Hill, better than King of Pizza. Not in love with their hot wings or fries. $9.99 for the large pizza is ridiculous. Patronize this place if you want decent pizza in NY but great Pizza for CH to stay...",
"We have been living in the Cherry Hill area for about 7 years after being life-long New Yorkers. We had pretty much given up hope on finding good, high quality, tasty pizza around here. Even the best we were able to find was edible but not really enjoyable. We're so grateful to have stumbled upon Mimi's. They really know how to make pizza the right way! We can now confidently have family eat pizza when they visit without having to apologize for it not being so wonderful. Maybe we're a bit picky growing up in Italian-American families in NY. Maybe our pizza standard is too high. It's a testament to how good the pizza from Mimi's truly is. It could outperform many of our favorites from NY and that says a lot.",
"First time we ordered here we tried their bacon chicken ranch- Sicilian square. That was worth ordering again. Second time was a night we had to work late and did not have much to cook in the fridge so we tried Mimi's again - we ordered chicken pollo limone, a Caesar salad, vegetable panini and fries. The chicken was really hard and rubbery, lacked flavor, sauce was insufficient and also lacked flavor and the salad (my preferential dressing) tasted like mayo! The veggies in the panini were crunchy and not cooked enough and dry. The upside to this est $30 order was a piece of tomato pie as a side bread. Needless to say we did not finish our meal and may order their pizza again in the future. Disappointed in the money we spent and were not able to enjoy dinner that night."

"This is a brand new restaurant. I ordered a couple of rolls and they were not wrapped/constructed well- tasted good. I would say the service is quite efficient. They have lunch specials that are quite reasonable. The menu overall is diverse and very reasonably priced. Good luck.",
"Happy to have good sushi near us. I loved the Vietnamese Sashimi Roll. It had the right amount of heat. XXX Hoo Roll. Great miso soup. Clean atmosphere and friendly service.",
"I was pleasantly surprised on my first visit. Great sushi and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is very clean and the sushi has a very fresh taste. The Vietnamese roll looks delicate but full of flavors. This is my fifth visit and I have yet to be disappointed. On this visit I had the octopus sushi and XXX Hoo roll. My son had the volcano, rainbow roll and Alaskan roll. I tried all 3 of his rolls and all tasted very good. We both enjoyed every sushi piece.\n\nDon't be turned off by the dark appearance while driving by at night. Their windows are tinted. Once you walk in, you will find yourself in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. \n\nIf you like sushi , give this restaurant a try. \n\nNote: at this time they do not have a liquor license but they have applied for one, beer and wine. I was told they hope to get it in 2-3 wks from today.",
"We went in to order hibachi. 1st I will say there was a language barrier which didn't help at all. They have no yummy yummy or goody goody sauce. Matter fact didn't even know what it was. Never been to hibachi that didn't have the sauce. One of the main reasons I go. The rice was very dry and tasted old. There was no one there but us. If you're really looking for hibachi this is not the place. The restaurant is new and nice inside but it's just glorified Chinese food. No hibachi about it.",
"Pros:\n1. Good chicken quality! Very rare for asian restaurants around here.\n2. Price - about half the price compared to similar establishments.\n3. Healthy options and smaller portions available.\n\nCons:\n1. You have to pick between soup or salad with hibachi dinner, other places give you both.\n2. Service is slow, so come with some time to spare.\n3. Salad dressing and yummy sauce were bland....",
"Food was delicious! Sushi was tasty and the chicken katsu was phenomenal. The restaurant was very clean and the owners were super friendly.",
"I discovered this place accidentally. It just opened and is still waiting on liquor license so you can BYOB right now. Call to confirm. Excellent sushi! Such a nice young people trying to get their American Dream. Places like this are so exciting to me because I love to see people working hard and trying to make a go of it. They deserve your support! You won't be disappointed.",
"Came in to try this new sushi place out and was not disappointed, everything was fresh, service was friendly and fast. And the price was reasonable. Come give this place a try if y'all are in the area!",
"Try this place...you will LOVE IT!!!! Such friendly owners and extremely attentive and concerned that the food is to your liking...which is was. Excellent dining experience. The Pan Fried Gyoza was delicious. We also ordered the Yaki Udon Stir Fry with chicken with the side of Miso. And the Chirashi Zushi Bowl with Salad. DELICIOUS!!! All of it...we had never had Yaki Udon...the noodles and stir fried ingredients were flavorful and the chicken was tender. The extra side of Super White Tuna Sushi was fresh and a generous portion. A must visit.",

"This new restaurant was recommended to me. Went there with friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers and meals. It's a small restaurant location which doesn't have much seating yet. They also do takeout. The chef was trained in France, and it showed with all the ingredients being very fresh and lots of great, interesting flavors. Most of the group had the Mixed Grill, and it was delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it. The pita bread was delicious and perfectly heated when served. This little Mediterranean gem's food will definitely please your tastebuds!",
"Great food cooked to order by 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet. Mixed Grill was outstanding!!!",
"Customer service was great, the couple is so sweet! The food was nice and hot. The kabob was amazing!! They also had a great gluten free selection. I would go back and definitely recommend for others.",
"The order came in 16 minutes late. I did not mention this to the manager when I called him. I had called him to complain that my order of Shrimp Ceviche had only one shrimp but that the Beef Kabab was good. He did not offer a refund or an offer to give me a new order of Shrimp Ceviche. I think he was also the cook, because, he didn't give a damn.",
"Wonderful experience here. Stopped in because there were good reviews and I was looking for a place with vegan options. \nNot only was I pleasantly surprised by the price, but also by the owners. Not only were they lovely and caring people, but they genuinely wanted me to come back and enjoy my food. They asked about my diet/lifestyle to make sure everything was okay. Also pointed me in a cheaper direction for my order: guaranteeing everything I wanted and more. \n\nI plan to make eating here a thing at least once a week and will be back tomorrow with my mom!",
"The best Mediterranean restaurant in the area. Everything from the fresh food to the great service. Real genuine place. Great experience all around. I highly recommend the mixed grill and there hummus is fantastic. They're very generous on there proportions as well. They're on uber eats as well if you don't feel like leaving home.",
"I've tried Taza Mediterranean Grill twice now. The first time we got the mixed grill and vegetarian platter. Three of us shared and there was enough left over for lunch the next day. Very fresh veggies, grilled meats are tender, falafel yummy (best I ever had), baba ganush creamy and flavorful. Humus a bit bland. Rice is yummy with some small bits of nuts(almonds?) and veggies. The second time two of us shared the beef shish kabob and falafel. Again too much for us to finish but I loved it for lunch the next day. The veggies are just so great! Slightly charred, still a little crunchy. The beef tender and flavorful. Beware the red sauce on the side as it is extremely spicy. Highly recommend this place and plan to make it a regular take out choice for my family.",
"Loved it. Super friendly owners and the food was great! Worth the wait. Thanks Barbara & Sam!",
"Taza has outstanding food and the owners are so nice. I eat vegan friendly meals that are delicious!",
"Taza has outstanding food and the owners are so nice. I eat vegan friendly meals that are delicious!\n\nHad the Mediterranean vegetable dish"

"The Red Piano\n This is such a perfect place for Bourbon Street, the WEM replica of the wild and spirited New Orleans strip. The Red Piano is a dueling piano bar. If you want lively entertainment with a touch of class and pizzazz, try this place out one weekend. \n\nWhen I went it was packed. The music was excellent and the crowd got right into it. There's another place like this in town called The Ivory Club, but I like this one better - it's super classy and chic inside, and has an upscale nightclub feel to it. The food here is also fairly good, if a bit overpriced. They serve up cajun food - catfish, jambalaya, corn bread, spicy peppers, etc. We went as a group and it was lots of fun for everyone. It's nice to do something, not just focus on conversation the whole time. Having live music, a dinner theatre show, etc. can be a good idea, especially with a group of people who doesn't normally hang out and you're not sure how they'll mesh. You can't go wrong with this place.",
"This was by far the worst service I've ever experienced in my life. It was almost comical. We kept expecting candid camera to appear. It was bizzare - its almost worth checking out just so you can have a new \"worst service ever\" story to tell your friends. I'm sure it won't be around long though so visit soon.",
"The Red Piano is a piano lounge where there are two pianos in the middle of the room and the pianists play everything from modern to classic songs on the piano and they sing too! The show differs depending on the audience and runs on customers' requests all night long. The show starts at 9pm with dining available before and during. It is $10 admission for standing and $20 for sitting. If you chose to go in to dine and stay for the show, it is $10 and the cost of your meal. It is highly recommended that if you want to dine before the show, to make reservations a good week in advance. I took away one star since the alcohol (as expected) and the food is slightly overpriced but you're pretty much paying for the atmosphere anyway.\n\nI went the Red Piano with a friend and her date. We had a great time! We had dinner elsewhere so was just there for the show. You pay admission, the same time you check your coats which is right at the door. All the waiters wear a red tie with a black dress shirt and the waitresses wear a red scarf with a black dress. So chic! :D\n\nAs mentioned, there is another piano dueling bar in Edmonton on the southside, on 2940 Calgary Trail South called The Ivory Club & Ebony Lounge. I went there for a friend's birthday once. I like Red Piano's atmosphere alot better. I felt the Ivory Club was more of a bar/club atmosphere and more noisy. The Red Piano is more upscale with nice decor, from nicely decorated walls and the ceiling to little candles on the tables.\n\nWe just ordered drinks since we had already eaten and they have everything from your martini's to Red Bull. I found the hostess to be very good (even helped us find the last booth) and we were served relatively quickly since we went on a packed Friday night. \n\nI tried to make reservations last minute for Valentine's Day but needless to say, they were booked weeks in advance. I did find out that you only need reservations for the dinner. If you are just there for the show at 9pm, more space is opened up for more people and is on a walk-in basis. I would definitely recommend and go back again for another night out on the town.",
"Red Piano is pretty expensive and unable to live up to the hype of their claims of having the best food in town. The food is pretty good but not the best and, for just pretty good food, the prices are high.\n\nThey have great entertainment and the musicians are very talented! They had such a great energy and played a variety of music, they even played TV Show theme songs.\n\nRed Piano makes for a pretty special night.",
"I really enjoyed the entertainment. It was lively and entertaining and definitely the highlight of the evening.\n\nThe food and service were disappointing. Overpriced, uninspired are two words I would use for the the cuisine and the wait staff. \n\nI would return for the show but NOT the food.",
"Unless you're going on one of the nights they are playing on the piano, it is not worth it. I found the place to be over-hyped and disappointing. The food was nothing special and overpriced. The drinks fair no better and would end up putting a big hole in your wallet if you were not keeping track. The staff were also not very enthusiastic, and even when there were only 4 other tables to serve, our waiter would barely come around.\n\nIf you're coming here for their entertainment, then go for it. The pianists are talented and can play anything requested. It brings in something unique into the west end area. As other people have said, go for the entertainment, not the food.\n\nWhat I dislike is how they make you pay a $10 'cover fee', even if you are going for their dining experience...it makes the meal feel like a rip-off.",
"The only reason i give this one star, is the fact that i can not give it one.\nWe booked a stagette on April 26th, for 12 people to eat dinner and watch the duelling pianos. The stagette was on May 15th. I called the morning of the stagette to confirm my numbers and was told that my reservation was cancelled on may 6th, and that someone in my party had to have cancelled. Not at all true. We were offered to eat at coffee tables for an hour, and then we would slowly have no where to sit. We asked if they would wave their 10$ entertainment fee, and the said that they would not offer any discount to us, until the reservation that should have been cancelled did not show up, therefore proving that they were in the wrong. Luckily we were able to get into moxies on bourbon street, even though they do not take reservations on Saturday. After speaking to other people about The red piano, i was told that this happened to another stagette, and that they regularly sell off the large reservations for a substantial amount of money. The \"error\" was not what bothered me, it was the complete lack of customer service we received. If you are booking any type of large group here, i would suggest that you at least have backup. The at least 30$ meal, and a 10$ entertainment fee, as well as an automatic 18% gratuity is not worth it.",
"The Red Piano is a perfect mixture of class, partying and live entertainment.\n\nWith two beautiful piano's as the focal point centered in the establishment, the music is nothing short of impressive. You can hear everything from classic rock, to Sean Paul, to The Beatles, to Tom Petty and even Rihanna.\n\nFor the drinkers who enjoy girly fruit-fusion cocktails, the bar has a wide selection of drinks to choose from.\n\nLocated on Bourbon Street in West Edmonton Mall, I'll admit, I wouldn't advise walking through the mall after your party is over. However, the waitress staff and bouncers were a good co-operative bunch for the entirety of the evening.\n\nAside from the jam-packed bar, the service was great.\n\nI'd recommend the Red Piano for stags, stagettes, work parties or a good old fashioned girls' night out.\n\nOf course, everything comes at a price -- including song requests -- but there's something about sipping your favourite drink, next to your favourite people with your request playing in front of you.\n\nIt's an experience to be had.\n\nTwo thumbs up.",
"The first people you meet, the greeter and seaters, are super rude, interrupting your questions constantly, and are sometimes not even there for five minutes, despite the \"please wait to be seated\" sign.\n\nThe servers are fine but often look frazzled -- I think it's tough to get enough good employees, so they work long hours on the weekends.\n\nThe decor is lovely, really lovely, and should be seen at least once. Their overhead lights at the back are amazing and your jaw will drop when you go into the bathroom. No, seriously! Even their water bottles are fun.\n\nThe food? Mostly good. Their beignets are NOT good, don't try them. In fact, most of the desserts are not worth your time nor money. The Po' Boys are your best bet.\n\nI've never been there during the dueling pianos and hope to try the place out then, although I have a feeling the service would be even worse when it's busy.",
"I've only been here for the food, never the entertainment. \n\nThe decor is stunning. I couldn't get enough of the bright red everything! \n\nWe were seated fairly promptly and the service was good, nothing special though. We ordered the chicken po`boy with tomato basil soup, and the portabella sandwich with the grapefruit salad. The po`boy`s only saving grace was the bread which had the most flavor of anything on the plate. I love me some tomato basil soup and can say this was the worst I've had. It wasn't terrible, just noticeably the worst. I didn't try any of my friends portabella, but it did look delicious. \nWe ordered the beignets and white chocolate creme brulee with rhubarb. Both desserts were great! I've never had an authentic beignets before but I would compare it to those mini donuts you get at football games or the ex. Very tasty and you get LOTS! Creme brulee could have used a little more crunch sugar on top but the rhubarb was to die for! \n\nI would love to come back on a night with live entertainment, that is what it's all about after all. Although I have to say I'm put off by other reviewers comments that there is a $10 cover. Hopefully I'll be able to return soon and write about that experience."

"They do have good pancakes and waffles. The prices are a little steep in my opinion, but because they are a chain you know what to expect because they basically are the same everywhere. I have never had problems with service here.",
"I was looking for a 24 hour opened breakfast shop since My bf and I were on our way to the airport at 3:30 in the morning. This is the first time I visited this Ihop branch and both my bf and I were very satisfied with the food (Spinach and Mushroom Omelette and the Breakfast sampler that consisted of 2 eggs, sausage links, hashbrowns, french toast, ham). My past experiences with Ihop has been great and I'm glad that they're still keeping up the good work. Our waitress was very nice too so it's been an awesome dining experience for us!",
"Really excited that they are still 24 hours, however: the place was a ghost town when I stopped by the other night with a friend. This to me means every thing should be perfect -if there are more staff memebers that cusstomers there is no reason to mess up my order : twice- when it was a menu item with no substitutions. I will say the cinnamon roll pancakes almost earns this place 5 stars by themselves and the new line of designer coffee is well worth it! I will be back, but please get my food out right.",
"Usually time at Ihop.\n\nI was happy about my food, which was the Swedish pancakes, egg breakers, bacon, and links. Peach ice tea was yummy. We had a very short wait for a table and the service was friendly. They appear to be handling the Fathers Day crowd well. Order was correct. I also liked they had balloon animals for the kids ... cool.",
"There is always only a few people at this location. I do my best to stay away from this place, but I do enjoy breakfast. Employees act like they hate being there. This place is dirty, grungy, and outdated. Oh did I mention that the last time I was there, we saw ants crawling up the side of the table, onto the table and into the syrup holders! That was the last time I will ever be there. \nI did recently eat at the one in Avon, and it was clean, friendly and I actually enjoyed my meal there.",
"Dirty! Our egg in the salad had a black stain on it! Some of our food tasted stale. Sister also killed a cockroach!",
"We went on a whim because of national pancake day. In addition to the complimentary pancakes because of the \"holiday\" we also shared a couple of omlets a plain cheese and a ham and cheese. Actually I was pleasantly surprised with the portions and taste. The service was also exceptional considering the huge turnout of people for the free pancakes. I have stopped at other Ihops during travel and have been disappointed. I have to say if this one comes up as a choice again I would certainly go back.",
"Food was good and delicious, service was poor.\n\nBoth me and my wife ordered half sandwich but we got full, on asking server told us she did not hear 'half' and was reluctant to change the order. When we insisted, she did change the food with a grin on her face.",
"This is just about what you would expect out of a chain restaurant. It wasn't awful, but it sure wasn't amazing either. The service was alright this time, but I've had some sub par service at this location a few months back. The food was tasty and I was kept caffeinated with plenty of coffee refills. I don't know what else to say about it. Typical chain experience, no one went above and beyond and that's ok.",
"Food is good service is terrible time waiting for food was much longer than expected and cleanliness of restaurant has a little to be desired."

"Food is good, but they are still working out the kinks. Went through the drive through waited 15 minutes. Got to the window finally, and the two lady's working the drive through ask us what we ordered?!? ordered chicken and some other things, and they had us wait out front the store for another 20 minutes. Shouldn't a chicken place have chicken??\n\nOnce we got the food home, my 2 pieces of chicken we had to wait outside for forever, was great, the nachos they made 1 hour prior... We're a soggy mess. They forgot our salsa we wanted too. The drive thru lady apologized several times, she seemed very flustered. I'm sure it isn't her fault... Just some things for this new place to workout, we won't be back till they settle in. Sadly.",
"Good solid offerings for a so-called fast food joint. I like the flavor of the chicken and many of the Mexican offerings. I like their green sauce and the avocados in their salads and other items. This location is more convenient for me since I live in South Reno. Good alternate choice from \"the burger routine\".",
"I got a HUGE order for like 20 people here.\n\nNew Years' Party.\n\nThe staff was good and the food was okay for chain food.\nthey gave me plenty of plates, tortillas , salsa.\n\nAlthough this place just opened so everything is brand new, clean, happy staff.\n\nAfter a year it COULD be bad.\n\nI ate at 5 guys the day it opened and it was great, 6 months later it was terrible,\nSo I'll give an updated review for el pollo loco in 6 months or so.",
"This review may be changed later on, once they kind of get their stuff together. We LOVE El Pollo and we go there all the time regardless. The first few visits here took a really long time and the plates were cut pretty short on food compared to the existing locations. They're trying their hearts out and thats all that counts. They'll get it down.",
"I must start with - I love El Pollo Loco. Unfortunately, do to my great anticipation, I was expecting too much and failed to realize that like any new business, it takes some time to work out all the kinks. \nWhile I am greatly impressed by the great renovation and the number of people working and eating there, I was let down by the food and the service.\nThe cashier didn't know the menu, the chicken was blackened and dried - not usual to the other El Pollo Loco locations. \nI think, I'm just going to wait a couple of weeks before going back to this location in hope to see some improvements in service and food quality. Until then, see you at the other South Virginia St. location.",
"i am an el pollo loco fan from wayyyy back. love, love, love their food! the new location on south virginia exceeds all of my expectations!! we have been just to this location now, probably 5 times in 10 days! delish!\n\ni asked how they made their avocado salsa and immediately, 3 crew members went to find out and help me with my \"not really that important\" question! gotta love any crew who goes above and beyond.\n\nel pollo loco management - keep up the great work with your crew; keep them motivated and uplifted; so far, you have one helluva staff, let me tell you! :)\n\n5 stars, easy call!!\n\nfood - fresh, hot, smells sooooo good, tastes even better!\n\nservice - omg, from the drive thru to walking in; these folks are the nicest ever! love them. (i know, enjoy it while it lasts; all new businesses fade in the service area eventually; hopefully this el pollo loco will continue it's excellent customer service run at this location!)\n\nprice, cleanliness, and whatever else you can think of - 5 stars.",
"They've brought back a good version of the crispy taco.",
"Always have loved this place. Just tastes so much more fresh then other fast food options. Had the shrimp chicken avocado bowl today which was good. Plenty of options for anyone who is in the mood for Mexican.",
"I bought a chicken meal it cost $15 dollars for chicken, the chicken pieces were the smallest I have ever seen. I thought the chickens they served were really starving chicket.\n\nI can buy the buy the same chicken at Wall mart for $6",
"I know this is a chain restaurant but I just have to recommend the creamy cilantro dressing. It is so yummy - we would buy it by the bottle if we could. \n\nOverall, we find this a great place for an easy, quick family meal. There is something tasty for everyone."

"This is the new Creole/Cajun style restaurant that took the place of Couer. They just opened, so my girlfriend and I thought Mardi Gras would be the perfect time to try them out. Before I mention anything else, I want to be clear that the food here is very good. It would be hard to find better New Orleans style food in the area. But there are some definite corrections that can be made, which I'll detail here.\n\nWe ordered the wings as an appetizer, the catfish and jambalaya as entrees, and king cake for dessert. We've been to Louisiana multiple times and love the cuisine in that region. They do a good job here. The wings stood out as excellent- they cook them with a southern fried chicken batter, so they're like...mini fried chickens. The bar stocks Abita and makes Hurricanes, which is a great touch as well.\n\nThe service during our meal had issues. Our server, while maintaining a positive demeanor, was totally overwhelmed with duties. Which is understandable, since he was the only person serving the entire restaurant. This includes bussing. There wasn't a busboy to remove dirty dishes, so there were just empty tables filled with dirty plates. There was no way he could serve the guests and bus as well. With that being said, service was very slow.\n \nThe décor and vibe seem a little unpolished. Like the aesthetic concept was half baked. I'm not sure if this is the owner's first restaurant, but it needs to come together a bit. It kind of feels like eating inside the shell of a former restaurant.\n\nThese criticisms are all easily fixable. They are new, so they have time to get it all resolved. I'll be back for a follow up review, mainly to try some of the sandwiches as they looked delicious. If they can work it all out and maintain the food quality, I predict good things in the future.",
"Our party of six had a great time at Acadia. We had the gumbo, jambalaya, veggie jambalaya, shrimp po boy, catfish, and shrimp pasta. My gumbo was very tasty, and the side potato salad spot-on. Comes with some nice bread, and we were given some free cornbread when we first arrived. Paired with a Sazerac and an Abita Purple Haze and I was happy. Service was attentive and friendly, and the chef came out to chat. They also have a kids menu. Will be back, want to check out happy hour here.",
"This is a new neighborhood gem. Reasonably priced food and drinks. Authentic flavor. A place your would find in New Orleans for sure. The staff is dynamic and the food has a kick but is delicious. Simple but tasty menu. I would recommend the Chardonnay on draft, but they are also carrying Abita beers. #nolavibes",
"I went there with a group of people and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was friendly and the décor is festive. If you like Cajun/creole food, I think you should give Acadia a try. You'll love it.",
"I love New Orleans and lived there for a couple years. I know a thing or two about cajun/creole cooking. This place is authentic. Started with Abita and an IPA, complimentary corn muffins, totally delicious. The gumbo was good, the oysters were amazing. Wings were meaty and the acadia spice was zingy spicy. Moved on to PBC Kenzinger and Prima Pils. Next we tried the shrimp po and jambalaya. Both were authentic. I liked the spicy fried shrimp in the po boy. For desert we tried the bread pudding and peach cobbler, 7 bucks each. We were stuffed since portions were large. I feel like this is a good go-to place in Philly if you want to get your Nawlins on. If you miss Mother's, this is your place.",
"30 minutes for corn bread, no signs for men's/women's restrooms, not a fan. Oh and the hush puppies were worse than Long John Silvers. But Lee the bartender is a good dude...thumbs up Lee!",
"I am so excited for this addition to the neighborhood. The vibe inside is comfortable and relaxed and the food is exceptional -- nice portions with powerful flavors -- I've had three meals here and enjoyed each one fully, particularly seafood dishes. The New Orleans infusion is excellent, and they have a great bar to boot. I'm looking forward to coming back to try brunch. Keep it up!",
"Came here for dinner on a Saturday and were seated right away. Service was super friendly and attentive. You get a free cornbread muffin, which was good - moist and not super crumbly. \n\nThe food is just okay. I wasn't wowed by anything specific, but it was decent. The sweet potato fries were excellent though and my husband said they made a fantastic sazerac. \n\nIf you're in the area, give it a try.",
"We love Creole and Cajun food and this place has an amazing selection. The drinks were delicious and the vibe is really nice. I think they need to hire one or two other servers. There was only one server and she was trying to do her best but she needed help. They gave me the wrong order but quickly fixed that, though I wasnt in awe of the vegetarian jambalaya dish. However, chicken wings are wonderful. We would have wanted to try to oysters but were out of those. As they are new, I understand they are trying to get the hang of things. I hope it only gets better! Also free cornbread!!!",
"I was fully prepared to be disappointed. I am a huge fan of Khyber pass and have been to New Orleans many, many times. I was pleasantly surprised. This place is pretty legit and does a nice, inexpensive happy hour. Wife was pleased with their house Chardonnay and was actually shocked when they told me their well vodka is stateside- the only time I have ever heard that. But, hey, works for me. \n\nI had a cup of red beans and rice and wife had a cup of gumbo; both authentic and tasty and $5 each off hh menu. For entrees I had the blackened catfish with a side of corn salad and potato salad. Wife had the shrimp po boy. The catfish was spicy but slightly undercooked. Wife really enjoyed her Po boy and said the shrimp were cooked perfectly. \n\nThe 2 bartenders were very friendly. There have been a lot of failed restaurants in this location so I am touting for them!"

"This place has FRESH pizza and generous on the ingredients.\nFood is good but watch out for their coupons.\n\nBUYER BE WARE. Apparently they have a policy of 1 coupon limit 1 even though it doesn't state this on the coupon. I used 1 coupon to buy 2 pizza's and was charge full price for the 2nd pizza.\nI went back after discovering the overcharge. I was told of their policy. The manager ended up giving me the difference back after I explained that there was no reference to any limit, but was rather salty about it.",
"I like that you can order online and request extra bake time. They also have thin crust which I like. One blah comment is that the mushrooms they use are canned.",
"Good sauce and old world pepperoni. A bit pricey but taste beats other nearby chains.",
"Marcos might be a chain pizza place but it feels more like a local neighborhood place. Every time I go in there the owner recognizes me and makes sure to say \"Hi\". They hire a lot of the local high school kids and the all seem to care about the doing their jobs. \n\nTheir food is very good too. They have a good sauce and they use real sausage, not those little sausage pellets that some chains use. They also have the standard fare, bread sticks, cheesy bread, etc... \n\nI really like the fact that you can order and pay on-line. When I go into the store, all I have to do is pick up the pizza. It makes it very convenient to stop on my way home from work. \n\nIf you live in the area, definitely give them a try, I think you will like them.",
"Marcos pizza has to be some of the best pizza I have ever had. The pepperoni magnifico is a great deal and a great taste. The sauce is really what makes it taste so good. I always order it with extra sauce. Even my parents who don't like pizza very much were impressed. This is the only pizza I order now for parties. My friends and family always ask me \"what kind of pizza is this it's really good.\" I used to be a papa johns guy and now I can't eat it anymore.\nThe wings are great although they are inconsistent in how much buffalo sauce is applied. Sometimes they are covered in sauce which I like and sometimes they are pretty dry. \nThis place employees several of the local high-schoolers which is great.\nGive it a try, recommend it!",
"Worth the price, they have really good deals. we order online and get extra sauce, which is as good as I could make. Hopefully they could come up with a cheeseburger pizza, like the one I got from Marcellos in Whitman MA. \nthe philly cheesesteak pizza was great, as is the pepperoni magnifico.",
"Very good pizza and prompt delivery. We order from them often for office meetings. The crust is always good, the toppings fresh and tasty. Their online ordering is easy, user friendly and they are always on time. They offer good deals and coupons. Today was the first time we had ordered a salad from them as well. I got the Chicken Cesar and was impressed. It was as good as a sit down restaurant. The greens were crispy, nice chicken - no gristle or fat; the croutons were actual butter and garlic bread, and the parmesan was real shaved, not grated/powder. Super good. \n\nAnother huge plus is that they provide high quality paper plates and plastic flatware. Much more substantial/heavy duty than most similar places. We appreciate that.",
"I was looking for something besides the usual suspects that quite honestly are disgusting. Not ever having heard of Marcos, it was close to me and I had no idea it was a chain. First off they allow Online ordering which is convenient, and has deals. A TON of options available as well, which is really nice. Delivery said 45 minutes which is normal for good pizza. It showed up in less than 30. First impressions, it smelled great. I ordered the UNO, and added some stuff (Green peppers, sausage, mushrooms, green olives, pepperoni, extra cheese). It was really good, and also was good the next morning! Is it the best pizza? NO, but is it twice as good as the usial guys? YES! (and I am from Chicago so I get pizza)......order with confidence.",
"The pizza is average but the wings were very soggy. Some of the worst wings I've ever had.",
"No delivery to our neighborhood. Tried to order online, the web site is terrible. Called on the phone to place our order, was put on hold! Order taker was abrupt, hard to understand, I had to repeat the order. Arrived, picked up order which cost $2.00 more than the online order I wanted to place. Got home and the pizza tasted worse than Domino's two day old warmed up pizza. We didn't save any of the leftover pizza to have later. This is our second try with Marco's, never again!"

"After reading an article in The Scene I was excited to try this new local restaurant with promises of everything being handmade and as local (I read fresh) as possible - even sauces. I had the street tacos and a salad. The meat was supposed to be beef but I wasn't 100% sure. There was no sauce. My salad was ice berg and definitely from a bag. I know this place is new so I will give it another try to see if they can get it together.",
"Nice folks. Sub par eats for our table. Nachos had a scant few beans, corn, jalapeños and an enormous amount of cheese (see photo~pretty disgusting). The chips were good but were few and swimming in cheese. Side salsa was not good at all~sweet(?!). Cesar salad had very large chunks (yes chunks) of sun-dried tomatoes~would have been better if sliced. This is a big box food establishment with nice interior design and good happy hour prices. I might pop in for a beer and a game (oodles of tvs) but I'll pass on dining here again.",
"First time eating here. Two of us had the burgers and they were amazing. The French fries are home made and delicious. One person in our group had the chicken and waffles but did not like at all. They basically give you a dry waffle with two dry chicken stops on top. My husband had the Cubano and liked it. Could use a dill pickle in it. Service was good.",
"We came here to watch World Cup coverage. They were very obliging and changed the channels and turned on sound for us. We all started with the cauliflower wings which were really good. I then had the Southwest salad without meat. It definitely needed some seeds or nuts added to it, but the portion was large. The shredded cheese mix could also use an upgrade, as it was definitely not craft or local. My partner had the berry salad which was also huge with crispy chicken and big berries. Our friends both tried the Cuban sandwich, which they gave 4 stars. The only downside apparently was that the pickles weren't quite pickled all the way yet. We all tried an assortment of the beers. Beer selection gets a 3/5 from our group. It could use some improvement with more local beers. Service was great, and the staff were all very attentive. I'm giving this place an aspirational 4 stars in hopes they will take our suggestions and stay in business!",
"Went here for appetizers and they did a great job. Everyone was friendly and the food was good. We had nachos (huge, good amount of toppings), the habanero pineapple boneless chicken wings (delicious, good amount of spice, large portion) and the steak quesadilla(also great). They just need to get rid of the of the domestic beers and ramp up the micros. \n\nAwesome place to watch the sports.",
"No matter what, DOGS do not belong in restaurants and that goes for the patio as well. Only selfish narcissistic people want to take their dogs to restaurants and food places such as grocery stores. We wanted to enjoy this establishment and try it since it changed and planned on sitting on the patio when we saw a table that had THREE dogs sitting at their feet. What if someone wanted to bring 10 dogs to the restaurant? Would that be okay too. The management or owners are too much of cowards to tell selfish people NO! What if I wanted to bring my cat, goat, horse, monkey, etc., would that be okay as well? Of course not. Animals do not belong in places where there is food being served.\n\nWe sat inside and decided to give it a try anyway. After viewing the boring menu which is worse than the previous ownership we decided to leave and let the manager know that we weren't happy about the dog situation. We won't be going back and I'll be surprised if they are still in business six months from now.",
"Terrible name, good beer and food. \nWe tried the nachos and several craft beers. Nachos had a bit too much cheese, but overall better than many restaurants. Nice selection of tap beers, excellent sports watching in bar area. Happy hour has great deals and Monday is all day happy hour. We'll be going back.",
"The hubby and I are from out of town and stopped by here for a quick lunch before we headed to the airport. The first thing that I noticed was the BEAUTIFUL patio with brightly colored flowers and lots of seating. How fun to come hang out with friends to eat, drink and watch the game??\n\nThe interior is very clean and well kept. We were greeted right away and sat immediately. Marianne was our server and she was super friendly and attentive. The manager, Theresa, even came by and chatted with us for a bit. The entire staff seems really pleasant. \n\nWe ordered the steak quesadilla for an appetizer, adult grilled cheese and nachos. All of it was delicious! The steak quesadilla was a recommendation by our server and we were not disappointed. The black bean and corn salsa it came with was amazing. The adult grilled cheese had the perfect palatable balance with the Gouda cheese and apples combined with bacon on sourdough. The nachos are HUGE. Definitely recommend getting it to share! The pork carnitas added to it was really flavorful. I loved that there wasn't just topping on the first layer of chips but ingredients were spread all throughout the giant mound. \n\nAll in all, we had a great experience. This seems like it would be such a great place to come hang out with friends and watch the game. There were lots of TVs with a variety of sports featured on it but it wasn't overwhelming like some places with TVs can feel. Theresa told us about their happy hour specials and we wish we lived closer! Great place and will be back when we come into town.",
"Not likely to go back. I sat at the bar on a slow Tuesday evening (7/31/18). I sat for over 5 minutes without even being acknowledged. The bartender was busy chit chatting with 2 other guests. It didn't appear he was taking orders or anything. 2 ladies approached and he greeted them and offered them menus before they could even sit down. That's when I decided I'd had enough. There was no one to be found to even complain to when I left. I took my business across the street where it was appreciated.",
"We had good food. My burger was char-broiled, and yummy. It was also large. My friend's sandwich was only half a sandwich which was disappointing, but still tasted good he said. It is always disappointing when you must wait for a second drink but it was a Friday night. We will return, which I think for restaurants is the entire name of the game."

"Brand new Mexican restaurant in the former location of Grappa Grill (94 and Zumbehl). Opened on April 26 2017 and we visited a few days later. Overall 3 stars, acknowledging this is a brand new restaurant in their first week of service. There were some bumps and kitchen was slow. Will update this review after the next visit.\n\nDining room is simple but nice and clean. Food was average Mexican, we were not extremely impressed. Definitely good enough to return for more visits. VERY large number of menu items... lots to choose from. Many menu items looked similar to what El Maguey offers.",

"Decided to try this new Mexican restaurant, located in the old Grappa Grill location. We ordered the Fejita El Rancho Nuevo. Overall it was pretty bland. Only thing that gave it much flavor was the chorizo. Their menu does have a lot of items but I do not think I will be returning.",
"First time here. And not sure we will be back. Table was dirty when we sat down, had to wipe it ourselves. Salt on the bench. Waitress wasn't that friendly. Chips were tasteless. Food was mediocre at best. Actually almost gross. Only reason I'll come back is to the bar. GREAT margs!!! \n\nIt felt pricey because food was so bad. Honestly their large menu seemed exactly like el maguey.",
"Terrible service full of attitude. Our waitress rolled her eyes several times and was annoyed at our menu questions. Didn't refill our chips. Then the wrong food was brought to one of us. So I had to wait while my family was eating. My kids quesadilla was super salty. I told her and she just shrugged her shoulders about it. Upon paying the bill the cashier was on the phone taking about furniture totally ignoring us. I was talking with my mother about their attitude. When she got off the phone she was confrontational asking me who had an attitude!? I told her she did and our waitress. I thought she wanted to put gloves on and take it outside. Ridiculous!! Never again!",
"Went here last night with my family and the service was less then stellar. Our waitress seemed annoyed when we had questions about the menu and the wrong item was brought out for one of the members of our party. The waitress got upset insisting that's what was ordered, but it wasn't. We ended up dropping the issue, but it was very off putting. Their bathrooms were super gross as well (one of the toilets overran, soaking the floors). There are plenty of better options in St. Charles, I would skip this one.",
"Brand new place working out the kinks PEOPLE.......I'm at El Rancho Nuevo right now....at the bar. The salsa is amazing, chips served hot. The Margarita is excellent and strong! Huge menu. Service is spot on and Corbin our bartender is beautiful!",
"If I don't like a Restaurant, I just don't go back but feel it would be appropriate to warn others that this is one of the worst Mexican Restaurants we have ever been to. The ambiance was awful - dirty! I ordered a Chile Releno and what a mistake!! it was soggy, like it was baked (not deep fried) with tasteless tomato sauce dumped over it. The plate actually had water in it- not sure where it came from. I told the waitress that I could not eat the Chile Relenos because it was not good. They did not take it off of the check! Overall poor service with not very friendly staff. Oh, one more thing - we were seated in the dark back room and the conversations from other tables echoed against the walls making it very loud. Just won't go back!",
"For it being a new restaurant it was great! We were a small party so it was nothing chaotic.\n\nThe food was actually FANTASTIC! \n\nThe prices were well priced for Mexican food and the portions were perfect.\n\nI read some reviewers compared the menu to El Maguey (restaurants who I no longer am a patron to since all they seem to attract are loud drunk parties) 75% of Mexican menus in Missouri look the same because it is what sells.\n\nOur server was great he answered all of our questions and was very friendly!\n\nThere were a couple of down sides.\nOne of which was that the menu had some errors (names on pictures of dishes did not match the name of the actual dish) ,very confusing and overwhelming.\n\nI noticed other reviewers stating they had many questions on the dishes now I can see why.\n\n\nAlso they sat us next to the bussing station and a bucket of water(I HAD to make sure my child sat near the wall so she wouldn't play with the bucket of water)\n\nThe throwing of silverware and dishes was a nuisance and made our table jumpy every time a buss boy threw items in their.\n\nWe were given a large foam cups filled half way for a child which was a bit hard for my child to grasp and we were charged full price for.\n\nHad the menu been easier to read (not so many pictures and so clustered) and the kiddie cup been presented instead of adult sized foam cup I would have given this place five stars.\n\nI will definitely return based on food and the great service we receive!",
"Great customer service, muy bien Marg's ! I thought I might have something in my drink and it turned out just to be strawberry purée but they still not only replaced my margarita but also upgraded it. Multiple staff checked in on us and made friendly conversation. Food was delicious. Overall a great experience!"

"Watch out for the breeze! But really this place is perfect. A view to a kill. Did I mention cold beer?",
"Review for drinks and location only, I haven't tried the food yet. \nAwesome spot at night to get drinks. They had a good selection at a moderate price.",
"Had a group of 11 people ready to have some nice cocktails. However the hostess at the bar was so rude and mean to us we walked out. Felt very unwelcome and won't ever be back!",
"It never seems like this place wants to have customers - they close their doors if there's even a slight chance of rain at any point that night, and won't serve drinks within an hour of their closing time. I have tried to go to The Rooftop Garden at least 5 times and have only been successful once. That one time I had an enjoyable time and the drinks were fine, nothing to write home about. The staff and ownership needs to take a lesson on how to run a business - don't make it difficult for people to enjoy your establishment and especially don't be rude to people who want to spend money there!",
"I feel like I really let my friends down with this one. It was my birthday, and this is the place I picked for dinner. What better place to dine al fresco than atop the Fountain Square Theater Building with the downtown Indianapolis skyline as the backdrop? Unfortunately, the fantastic view, decent food and amazing friends who came to celebrate was somewhat overshadowed by the general unhelpfulness and not so nice attitude by the Manager, which infected the rest of her team.\n\nLet's start at the beginning. My friends are amazing people who like to do everything they can to make special occasions special. They tried to make reservations and were told they couldn't, so two of them arrived an hour before everyone else so they could put some flowers on the table and some balloons on the chairs. They were immediately told that they couldn't be seated until everyone was there, so they had to sit around and wait. They brought a cake, which they were told they couldn't serve. They were told that every single member of our party had to be present before they would seat us. So, my amazing friends sat there for an hour staring across the empty tables waiting on the rest of us to show.\n\nWhen everyone finally got there, they took us to our seats and my friends started to decorate. They were told the balloons had to be moved because it might affect the people who were sitting next to us. No one sat at that table the entire time we were there. \n\nWe ordered drinks, and one person got the wrong beer. The server argued with him about it being poured from the correct tap, and when my friend insisted that it wasn't right, the server admitted that they unscrewed the taps at night and probably hooked them up wrong. When he came back with a new beer, it was the right one. Not sure why he felt the need to argue, but he did.\n\nFood was ordered and was quite tasty. Everyone was stuffed, so we picked up the cake from downstairs and went somewhere else.\n\nThere are a lot of restaurants choices in Indianapolis that offer much better service than here. There are a lot of places in Indianapolis that offer a fantastic view. While the view is amazing here, people will start getting fed up and simply won't come back. It will be a long time before I decide to go back, and I suspect my groups of friends feel the same.",
"This was hands down the least accommodating restaurant I've ever been to. It seemed like the staff was under the impression that we were the ones who should feel fortunate to get to spend our money here, rather than them going at all out of their way for the people who keep them in business. \n\nWhoever is in charge here is obviously oblivious to anything that can be confused with customer service. It seemed like everything that we did that didn't include arriving with the entire group at the same time, sitting down, ordering food, paying, and leaving promptly was a huge inconvenience to them. The majority of this seemed to come from the lady who was the manager that night, but it trickled down to their employees because they were so handcuffed on what they could and could not do that they couldn't do anything to accommodate us.\n\nThe view, on the other hand, is fantastic. It is one of the best places to watch the sun set over the Indianapolis skyline, and being on top of a rooftop provides a unique experience. I am slightly concerned about the giant billboard with the big lights on it that sits right next to you. We left before it got dark but if those come on during dinner, it looks like it would take away a lot from the view that could otherwise be enjoyed. It is an old building, so while the setting itself top notch, it isn't a place that could at all be confused with a classy dining experience. The old elevator to take you up to the top takes a while and you will likely be packed in to get up to the top. The bathrooms are located a floor down in the bowling alley and haven't been updated since the 60s. The plastic table and chairs are more of something you'd see in someone's backyard patio than at a restaurant with such an amazing view. That being said, their food prices aren't really out pricing themselves so it all evens out. \n\nI got the smoked wings, and the wings themselves were great. The smoky flavor was prominent, they were nice and juicy, and the sauce that they were coated in was slightly sweet with plenty of kick. For $13/dozen, they were on par with other wing places. They completely struck out on serving their spicy wings with a horseradish sauce though. There is a reason wings are usually served with a creamy and cool ranch or blue cheese dip. The rest of the food looked pretty good, and aside from one order everyone enjoyed their dinners. I recommend getting the pretzel sticks as an appetizer. Most options for entrees were $10-$15. Their beer options are only ok, and at $4-$5 a bottle, not priced great. Their bartender also can't tell the difference between a cloudy citrusy wheat beer and a clear hoppy IPA. Unfortunately, our server also couldn't and questioned us when we told him the wrong beer clearly came out instead of just getting the correct one.\n\nI won't be back here again solely because of the service, but everything else would draw me here many times if they get their one issue changed.",
"Beautiful view, perfect location, simple menu, how could you go wrong!? Well, they figured out. We arrive a few minutes late and they roll their eyes at us and won't allow us to sit with our group (the beautiful party with white balloons, we can clearly see them). We apparently ruined their day by being two more than was expected. It was really hard for them to move to two plastic dollar tree chairs over to the table. So, they hated us from the start...the feeling was almost mutual, but we were willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. \n\nWe get to the table and find out that not only would they not allow our group to have the cake that we purchased for dessert (fair enough), they wouldn't allow us to keep it in the box at our table. Someone from our party had to go find someone to hold on to it for us while we ate, since they walked from Fletcher Place they couldn't exactly put it in their car. Rooftop Garden HATES cake. If they see it, you will be scowled at and given bad service for the rest of the night. You've been warned.\n\nNow the food. It all fell a little flat. To be honest, it makes me sad that none of the restaurants in the Fountain Square Theater Building are very good. They have such an awesome location. We ordered pretzel bites, the dill dip was pretty bad, the cheese... well, who doesn't like cheese. I then had the salad (standard), mac and cheese (dry and a bit bland, added sriracha for some flavor), and the fish of the day (overcooked swordfish). I would go for just drinks, but never again for food. \n\nLast words: \n\nGuest: \"I don't think this is the IPA I ordered\"\nWaiter: \"The tap says it is\" ... walks away.",
"It didn't take long to figure out why this place has received such crapy reviews. This place has horrible customer service. As soon as I walked in I totally felt like somehow we totally inconvenienced them with our mere presence. Our apologies for patronizing your business (I say oozing with sarcasm).\n\nThis was our first visit. We walked up to hostess station. There were three people just standing around. No one said a word to us for quite some time until a nice bus boy acknowledged our presence then went to clear a table for us. The hostess eventually came over. She asked if we were here for dinner. We were like sure. Then she said well the kitchen is closing soon. Well, Geesh ok. Guess well just get drinks and a dessert. She then takes us to our table, but did so in a huff and barely said two words to us. Our waitress comes over. She was also short with us and tried her best to politely remind us that the kitchen closes soon. Geesh! We get it. It's not even 10 yet. This is like walking into Starbucks 15 minutes before they close and the barista saying sorry we close in 15 minutes so we can't make you a drink. Ugh! I ordered a ginger beer and a Heath shortbread, and my friend ordered coffee and white chocolate mousse in a chocolate cup. Our waitress tried to be nicer throughout the evening but was obviously still annoyed. My shortbread was just ok. My friend's mousse was actually delish! \n\nShortly before closing time she asked if we \"wanted our check now\" in the most polite way she could muster up. Yes, we will take our check and never return to this establishment. Totally turned off by this place. Dealing with crappy service for a view of the skyline is not worth it.",
"I'm a big fan of outdoor eating spots, so this one is great. Nice high spot with cool billboards and the skyline behind you. We pre-gamed across the street at New Day Meadery and then came here around 10pm. They were only serving appetizers, so we went with the pub pretzels. Very tasty! We hung for about a half hour only, but I would head back as a date spot or a birthday celebration. The ambiance definitely takes it up a notch.",
"Well, the name says it all. It is a gorgeous view of Downtown Indianapolis located on top of one of the oldest buildings in Fountain Square. \nFirst challenge of making it up to the rooftop:find the door. We parked and walked around the building looking for a clear marking, but you won't find it. Finally after clarification from a server in another restaurant, we find out the door is next to the \"Duckpin Bowling\" sign. Floor 5. Great, we are off! \nNext challenge: fear for your life in an ancient elevator for 5 floors or make the hike up the steps. Steps it is. In heels.\nOkay, I arrive a little winded on the 5th floor, but it is okay. We are seated in the cocktail area only area while we wait for a table to open up. \nThe drink menu is beer and wine, with only two beers on tap. Ok, oh well, I'm not that picky. \nWe are seated get the lobster flatbread as an app... I am not blown away. \nFor dinner, ribs and mac n cheese. Mac n cheese is great, twice baked and delicious. The ribs are decent as well. A North Carolina yellow sauce with a little kick! \nFinally, dessert: their homemade cheesecake. It is in my opinion, flavorless. Triple chocolate never tasted so bland! \nSummary: great for the view, but once is enough for a photo-op."

"The food is good but delivery is lacking consistency. I ordered buffalo wings which came with blue cheese and celery. When I got my order they had forgotten the sides so I called and 25 minutes later the driver, who was really the cashier called me and said she was lost. I told her not to bother because we had already eaten the chicken after waiting 15 minutes. I then told the Manager via phone that this was the 2nd time something went wrong with my order and I've only ordered from them twice. I recommend the food but you might not want to have anything delivered!",
"Pats has good intentions, the food is like your average pizza cheesesteak joint.\nBut the service is very confused. \nYou place your order at the counter and are given a numbered card to place on your table. \nYou fill your own beverage glass like you are at Mickey D's, and wait and wait and wait for someone to bring your meal to the table. This is usually a vapid, brain dead teenage girl who drops your sandwich off at the table and promptly disappears without offering refills or asking if you need anything. As far as she is concerned, your hair could be on fire and she wouldn't ask if you needed water. Of course they don't call it waitress service so I guess I shouldn't have expected too much. \nIf you are in Phoenixville and want a cheese steak or a pizza stick with Liberty Square, the food is better and there are no pretentions or delusions.",
"Pat's in Phoenixville is nice! They did a total gut and remodel of the building and designed it with Phoenixvillian memorabilia. I'm not a big pizza OR cheese steak person, so I wasn't sure this would be my style. However, their salads are delightful and their pastas aren't too shabby either. I like the sacchett pastai in aurora sauce and the greek salad with greek dressing... obviously not together, because that would be enough to feed a family of 4. The portions are beyond generous. I usually get delivery, but did have a chance to dine in once. My husband, dog, and I ate outside. It was nice to watch the world go by on a Thursday night.",
"Ok folks, these straps have won the award, for the worst pizza, and being able to put out what they call a pizza, with the least amount of cheese known to man since early roman times. WHAT A JOKE AND HORRIBLE PIZZA!!! Really they won the award for putting the least amount of cheese on a pizza. 1st place. everyone skimps these days, but this is ridiculous!!!!",
"I tried Pat's Pizza here in Phoenixville, PA for the first time last night. No need to get long winded. This is the WORST pizza I have ever had. I have had better food in a hospital. They won't be seeing me again. They weren't even worth one star.\nIt would be nice if Phoenixville had a descent pizza place. If you want really great pizza, go to Alfred's Tomato Pie in Blackwood, NJ. Well worth the ride.",
"Never ate in at the restaurant but order take out and delivery all the time. Delivery is always on time. The pizza is pretty good for the price. The always have coupons in mailers and you can also order online which is nice.",
"We have been to Pats about 10 times since it has opened. The first few experiences were solid. Good, not great food and good service.\n\nUnfortunately, things have seriously changed. The service is borderline bad and the disrespect in which the management team treats customers is downright ridiculous. \n\nOne case in point: we went last night to eat and to use our Living Social voucher. Food was ordered and we go to pay and are told by the manager that we have used our voucher. When protested, the manager said :\"it doesnt matter what you say, we have it written here that you used your voucher\". Again, when protested and further investigation was done, it was found that we were correct. Did the manager come out to apologize? No, she sent one of her underlings out.\n\nNeedless to say, i am DONE with Pats. Hasta lavista baby.",
"I'll agree that Pat's is well themed and beautifully designed, but the food is just OK. I'm totally middle of the road on it. Nothing bad or great to say.",
"Worst pizza in pville. Probably not a good review but a truthful one...",
"Terrible Pizza........ Trying to get around bad reviews on Yelp but opening another account. See other reviews under \"Pats Pizza Family Restaurant\""

"FUN!!!! We had so much fun sitting at the bar here! Didn't leave for 4 hours!!! Great time!",
"As Hooters go....the norm. However what sets this place apart is the service. Always a friendly face and attitude here...and as all Hooters go, if YOU have an attitude, you'll get one back. \n\nI've seen many a jacka$$ wanna-be thug/womanizer come in here, try to \"represent\"...be rude to the staff and get obliterated by the girls...epic. \n\nConvenient location at the mall, accessible from doors within food court or from outside. In cooler weather they open the glass garage doors to let the breeze in...ain't nothin' better than tight orange shorts, a cool breeze, pretty ladies, and a cold beer. With 16 draft beers, and many more in the bottle, fully stocked bar, and great food...what else are you looking for? \n\nCome on down and see Crystal or Charlene at the bar, and after you've done that message me so I can give you my PayPal info so that you can deposit money in my account for turning you on to such greatness. Word....\n\nYELP!!!",
"Our family absolutely loves the food at Hooters. This was our first visit to the Tyrone Mall location which was clean and lively.\nOur table enjoyed the Ham and Cheese (my favorite ham and cheese sandwich anywhere!), fried pickles, Buffalo Shrimp (which are tasty), boneless wings and curly fries.\nIt is what it is, but the food is always good. Service has improved over the years.",
"I just dont understand why a restaurant would want to employ wait staff that doesn't seem like they even want to work there. It's a Friday night the place isn't even busy and we had the worst service ever. Hooters would make a lot more money when you don't have to ask the hostess to get your waitress because she wont stop by just so you can give them more money and order another pitcher of beer or order more food. We watched the waitress take orders from tables around without ever stopping by to see if you need anything even after eye contact and waving. We added several items and would have eaten/drank even more if the waitress would have come to our table. Instead she talked to some guy sitting at a table alone (who didn't even order anything) or chatted with other wait staff. When she did come it was zero personality, not even a Thank you at the end. Even worse, the manager literally sat two tables way chatting with someone half the time we were there, even bringing them their food (I have pictures). She never managed anyone, I never saw her talk to any staff or check any tables except her friends she sat with while we were there. This is the manager and she doesn't care what is or isn't going on and this is the reason service is bad and people don't come here on a Friday for dinner. I usually go to the Original location in Clearwater and do so pretty frequently. We used to go to the original Tyrone location for years before it moved here.\n\nI say that the newer Tyrone location has some serious staffing and management issues that I am sure can be attributed to slow business on a night like Friday, low sales and unhappy customers. This is NOT the type of service expected from Hooters and I should have listened to the people I know who warned me this location has bad service instead of trusting reviews from web sites. \n\nI really miss the REAL Hooters across the road before it became such a corporate letdown like it is now. A big letdown andbad experience to say the least. We didn't enjoy our dinner waiting for drinks and food all night. \n\nI give 2 stars just because when we got it, the food was okay.",
"Better than home. Better menu with more variety. Plus the food came out hot. Prettier girls too.",
"We go here fort he wings right? Well....that's what I go for, and they are delicious! Nothing incredibly spectacular to report from my experience from this Hooters. I ordered 10 wings and they were great. The prices are reasonable and I like the location of this. It's in the fod court in the Tyrone mall. \n\nA good experience with delicious chicken wings....and NOTHING ELSE! :)",
"Been coming here for years, but last few times the food has been absolutely terrible. Fish tacos that smelled like the fish had been laying out for days, shrimp that was petrified, calm chowder the was ice cold. Will think twice next time. Manager seemed more interested in hanging out with the waitresses than checking on tables. Seems to be a recurring theme unfortunately.",
"It's very awesome to have this Hooters in the mall. Nice to stop in for food and a beer or drink while shopping. The last few times I was a little disappointed in the boneless wings but extra sauce helped that. The fried pickles are an absolute must!",
"Once in a while I crave chicken wings. I live close by, so I do stop by this location. I like my wings breaded with a hot buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. The food at this location is the same as at any other Hooters restaurants. Very consistent, as is expected of chains. This place is a good alternative to the food court. It's located right off of it. Not much of a view... All windows face the mall's parking lot. service is good. The staff is very friendly and food arrives fast. Like I said, if you want Hooters wings and cheap beer, stop by if you are in the area.",
"I really don't like to give 1 star reviews, and this 2 star should be a 1.5 star review....\n\nSo, we went in last night (Wednesday) at 8:30 pm. Very few customers in the place.\n\nWe weren't greeted quickly, at all, even though there were several employees around, doing everything except watching the front door/Hostess stand.\n\nThen, after we chose \"whatever table you want\" we waited for service. (a bit too long) The waitress was very friendly, but not very attentive. \n\nWe asked for \"all drums\" and the kitchen (we're told) didn't make the order correctly the first time.... So, at 9:05, our correct food was sitting in the pick up window, and the waitress was no-where to be found. Therefore, I walked up to the window, as asked \"is that our food?\" \n\nAnother waitress delivered our meal - it was hot, and the wings were good.\n\nHere's the problem - we have been here 2-3x in the last few months, and the story is always the same....\n\n1.) Never greeted in a timely manner.\n2.) The place was not busy each time we went.\n3.) The wait staff is friendly, but not attentive, and the food window is not watched.\n4.) Two out of three times, we saw the manager walk around, not paying attention to anything, and then disappear! \n\nSo, it is certainly a management problem, and a motivation issue among the very friendly, yet inattentive staff.\n\nWe're done forever with this Hooters, we can find better options for wings, where we will be treated like customers."

"I was out picking up my Tex-Mex take out in a restaurant located in the same strip-mall and noticed a new Asian restaurant was soon to open up a few stores down. \nAlways looking for new, creative Asian cuisine that differs from the usual Ameri-Chinese take-out that one can find traveling a mile in any direction, I made a mental note to come back and try it out.\nBoy, am I glad that I did!\nUpon glancing at the menu available outside, I noticed that the usual pint/quart option wasn't available and the prices were leaning more towards the \"specialty\" pricing. This set off the warning sirens in my head but my curiosity got the better of me and my girlfriend and I waltzed right in and placed a hefty order.\nThe crew inside were young and vibrant and extremely helpful in explaining the selections. The menu is unique and includes a great many \"non-traditional\" items only usually found deep inside inner-city, Asian communities.\nMy head was reeling at the expanded amount of selections which I found enticingly pleasing to my palate.\nWe ordered fried dumplings, chicken w/brocolli, orange beef, General Tso's chicken, and two mango-shrimp rolls.\nAll I can say is WOW!!!\nThe pork inside the dumplings was exquisite! It was light-tan, mildly shredded (not a brown ball of mush) and very fresh! The Gen. Tso's was wonderfully crispy with a mild tang and delectable spicing. The orange beef was rich and totally off-the-hook, easily the best part of the meal, and the chicken w/brocolli had some great sauce but the chicken was a bit too soft. I like i little firmness in my poultry but the tatse was excellent.\nThe rolls were just amazing and I could eat them every day! \nIt was a bit more expensive than I'm used to paying but the quality of the food was well worth it. I would've given them five stars if the chicken was a bit firmer but it was definitely worth every point on all four stars, and then some!\nI'll be eating there more often, to be sure and the restaurant itself was modern, spotless, and even had a BYOB option available.\nThe website is http://hkstarnoodlehouse.com/ and the menu is right there for your perusal.\nI hope this restaurant lasts because there are still dozens of possibly-awesome dishes I simply MUST try in oncoming months!",
"HK Star Noodle house offers authentic Cantonese fare, something rare in the suburbs and previously unavailable in Bensalem. Not having visited Ting Wong in Chinatown for a couple months and going through severe Chinese roast meat withdrawal, I called up HK and ordered some roast duck over rice to go.\n\nThe interior of the restaurant is spotless thus far, and a quick peek into the kitchen revealed everything is, for the most part, clean. Upon opening the takeout container I was pleased to see the duck was a beautiful golden brown with a thin, tasty glaze over top. The meat was very flavorful, tender, and juicy. I was disappointed to find the skin wasn't crispy, but that was probably due to getting soggy in transit and not to improper cooking. The bok choy it was served with was steamed perfectly, and the white rice went well with the excess sauce/duck fat.\n\nThe portion was on the small side for the $9 I paid, but I wouldn't hesitate to come back here if I need a Cantonese BBQ fix and don't feel like driving out to Chinatown. I look forward to trying more of this place's menu with hopes that it's similarly tasty.",
"Disappointed with the food here! Was excited to try it but it was a HUGE let down! Place was very clean though!",
"I've been there a few times, it is a great place to have a bowl of noodle soup! If you like spicy seafood, you must try the Squid with three pepper. Lamb with bamboo shoots with white rice which is a great call too.",
"I'm one of the regular customers at Hong Kong Star Noodle House when I'm traveling to New Jersey for business. I drive over 30 minutes to eat here with my coworkers. Why? Because it's a place where I can get good authentic Cantonese-style Chinese food.\n\nIn addition, the service is great. I understand that some people may not be used to the way they cook, because they have many dishes that are not your average American-Chinese take out food that you'll find in many other places. However, the workers here are willing to listen! If you have any questions at all about how something is cooked, you should ASK. The owner will do whatever he can to make something that you like! I've talked to these guys a few times while there, and they're more than willing to keep their customers satisfied.\n\nIf you're hesitant about trying new dishes, you can always go with some of their noodle dishes like their Beef Chow Fun. Otherwise, talk to them and see what they currently have as their specials. I've tried a variety of their dishes here, including their seafood dishes, their duck dishes, their noodles, their clay pot dishes, etc., and I have never been disappointed. Their restaurant is always kept clean, and their food is always fresh. I hope to keep coming here for many more months throughout the duration of my project!",
"I enjoy this place and would come back because the food is authentic and price is good. The premise is clean, spacious and has takeout option. The service is friendly and quick. Consider its location in Bensalem area, this place is a good find. \n\nI am only giving it three stars because I still need to come back more often and at different hours in the day. Oh and I recommend the shrimp dumpling soup and lobster in butter sauce.",
"Food is good no other place around this area offers this type of chinese food. It's not Chinatown, but its still decent. They changed the way the wontons are made since it first opened and not for the better. The rice dishes are what I would stick with.",
"We stumbled upon this restaurant two weeks ago, and have been back 4 times since then. Unlike other restaurants in the area, everything tastes fresh and is delicious. Lo mein has a yummy smoky taste to it. Love the broccoli beef! Garlic chicken is the only thing we haven't raved over, but still decent! I was impressed with their fried rice, so that says something! The prices are very fair, especially the lunch specials. The service is great, nice family feel. Very clean restaurant. Love the music they play;) Don't risk going elsewhere for Chinese food, this is the best place in Bensalem!",
"My family used to go to Chinatown once in a while for great Chinese food. We tried this restaurant when they first opened. It turns out that we were the only customers in the house at the moment. The service is good and food was delicious. We especially like the Peking Duck. If you are looking for an Cantonese restaurant in the area, this is the one for you.",
"This was my first time here and I was thrilled with the food and service, in fact so thrilled I actually took the time to write this. Why? Because when you find a hidden treasure I just have to share with everyone.\nI also must mention that this is my first review of anything. That is a big statement!\nI had the shrimp with lobster sauce with abundant and tasty shrimp. My son had the chicken teriyaki that was so tasty, I will have it next time we go. I am actually open and excited to try new Chinese food."

"I think this is a great addition to the area. I had the ahi tuna salad and it was cold and fresh. The ingredients seem like good quality. Also had the buffalo chicken egg rolls and they were on the lighter side and had homemade ranch, which to me, is a necessity. You could tell things were prepared on site. The wine list was ok, but I hope they get a dry rose soon. The beer list was varied too. There is a large bar and a nice outdoor area. The decorations are clean and crisp and our server was nice. I will definitely go back. Seems like a good place for kids and adults.",
"Fantastic! We shared the Carnivore Pizza and Chopped Salad for lunch. Huge portions and fresh ingredients at a reasonable price. This addition to the Westhaven community is a gem. The choices on tap were many and varied, service on point and the decor appealing. We can't wait to come back!",
"I had high hopes for this place since I live just a short walk away, but of all the five meals I've eaten there, the only consistent thing was disappointment. The food sounds better on the menu than it actually tastes. There's nothing to brag about, from the pizza to the salad to the entrees. This wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't as pricey as it is. I can make my own limp, room-temperature french fries at home for a fraction of the price. The food is simply underwhelming. I understand that they are still working out kinks, but there are some issues that need to be addressed when it comes to food quality, pricing, and service. I'm bummed because I was so excited to have a new restaurant option here!",
"Convenient location for west side of downtown\nFranklin. Very clean & mild bistro vibe. Good beer on tap. The menu is bistro / pub like. The Tuscan sandwich is outstanding. The acoustic treatment in the room makes for a pleasant busy time. Lovely experience overall.",
"Overall a good experience although the first impression was not great as we stood up front for a few minutes while someone checked his email at the desk with their back to us before the hostess came out and seated us. The food was good although a bit pricey for what it was. It seemed like downtown Franklin prices in Westhaven. The huevos rancheros was good as was the French toast and coffee.\nThey would benefit from a kids menu during brunch since it is a family friendly place.",
"I have to say I a sad we do not have one of these type of places down in Spring Hill. This place rocks. Great vibe, great service and the food. Just got to say the fried pork tenderloin sandwich is awesome on the potato bun. Had the pub fries as well and tasty as they can be!!! I have to say this place is great and I see it becoming the neighborhood local pub hang place. Like I said, just wish I had one like this down in my small town area.",
"Super disappointed in my dinner. Brussels were great but my snapper was so over cooked it was inedible. Too much $ to drop on food I couldn't even eat. The patio was covered in spiders too.",
"I have had a lot on the menu now after being there 5+ times since it opened. The Chips are so great and i have never seen anyone do it the way they do. Love the Burger and the Pizza is delish. The mac and cheese is some of the best i have ever had.... and you can not go wrong with their brussel sprouts.",
"They had Poutine as an appetizer on the Restaurant week menu but not the regular menu so we went for restaurant week. We have been in search of Poutine like you find in Canada and some of the northern states. I've never been lucky enough to taste the real deal but my husband has. The restaurant week menu included a choice between two appetizers, three entrees, and pudding for dessert. We both ordered the Poutine for our appetizer. It wasn't like the dish you get up north because it was served with brisket and the cheese wasn't melted but this version was delicious. I then had the Quail for my entree. It was crispy and cooked perfectly. Everything was so good we must come back to try some of the items on the regular menu. \n\nThe pub itself was very nice. There were plenty of tables and a lot of seating at the bar. There were several TVs if you are interested in watching a game while you eat. The host that greeted us was very friendly and the service was fantastic.",
"Had lunch there today with my wife. I had the pub burger with fries, she had the Caesar salad. Just one word to describe it overall - Outstanding! Service was great, the place is very upscale for a \"pub\" but still inviting and the food exceeded my expectations. Burger and the fries were both among the best I've ever had, and that's saying a lot as I love burgers and order them often. Highly recommend you give it a try!"

"Try the Fancy flavor of wings - they're amazing! It's fun to make your own mixed drink with their vodka options and a super casual, fun space.",
"Very underwhelming food/drink. Beer was quite flat (had one of the IPAs, and girlfriend had a stout that was also watery and flat) and the pizza we got wasn't much better than a Red Baron microwave pizza (except it was 10x the price). We chose to substitute out ground beef for the sausage on our meat lovers pizza and there was an additional $1.99 charge (really?). \n\nalso...the service wasn't very good. There was little to no interaction from bar staff which differs from what we've experienced in other tailgate locations. \n\nProbably won't be be back here for a while.",
"As a frequenter, I had high hopes as the West Nashville and Midtown location are our favorites. I always get PBMS nitro- it was kind of flat, along with the other IPA we got. One of the things we love about Tailgate is the personable service. The bar service was equal to going to broadway- order, get the drink, and they walk away after you get it. I'm not expecting a full conversation but some interaction would be nice- especially since it's a new location. \"Hey, how are y'all? Have you been to Tailgate before? Would you like to sample anything? This is what we have new, you should try it?\" BASIC restaurant conversation- we got none. I would have asked for a new beer if it didn't take having to reach over the counter just to flag down the bartender in order to order our pizza (for which we got charged $1.99 for swapping a meat- that we do at other locations with no charge). Pizza was lacking toppings too. I would suggest y'all get on the same page for every location. I don't mind paying extra for ranch when it's homemade (like other locations) but not a fan when it's from a jar. We just hurried up and left to go elsewhere. Don't think y'all were ready to open yet- maybe we will come back in 6 months...",
"Food and beer selection is extensive. Food is great for brewery! Staff was super nice too. :) Glad they have eat Nash location now. Wish they'd bring back the watermelon beer though!!",
"I decided to purchase a Living Social pizza and beer voucher as an excuse to give this new east side location a try. We stopped in on a rainy Saturday night and the place was packed. The brewery is in a new building, next to a nail salon and dentist and is a more intimate setting than their other locations. First thing I noticed was how bright the lights were. Upon entering you queue up at the side of the bar to order where a large blackboard hangs up high listing the many beer selections. Being the first day of fall the pumpkin beer game was strong with at least five varieties. It was a little awkward having the board up so high and trying to see the selections before reaching the bartender to order. We tried the large veggie pizza along with a nitro peanut butter milk stout and a maple pumpkin porter. We enjoyed both beers, their beer menu changes seasonally so there will always be something new to try. The pizza was good too, but I'm not sure it was $24 good. (Seems high for a 16\" veggie pizza.) The taproom has a long bar with several TVs behind it and several more around the room. Definitely playing up the sports bar aspect as there was football on every tv when we visited. I'm glad to see this new addition to the neighborhood so I'm being generous on my rating, they're new to the 'hood and still getting their footing. Tailgate beer lovers will be happy to have a home now on the east side. I'd love to see the lights toned down so it isn't so glaringly bright. And we felt the food costs were high for what we got. If there's some way to get the beer menu board lowered to a height that's more eye level it would help too. Glad to have them here and hope with a few changes they'll be even better.",
"4.5 realistically. I was about to give it 5 star but there was at least a few minor things. This is a great brewery with really good food and this is a new location in East Nashville. It is in a strip center which is odd, and they really need to work on the signage as I passed it 2 times before finding it. Some lights or something that draws attention would go a long way.\n\nI am happy to report they are off to a great start otherwise. Excellent service, awesome food, and reasonable drink prices. The food pricing is another story though, the pizza is great, but you will pay quite a bit for it. As others have mentioned the pizza pricing could stand to be a littler more reasonable, but they do have a half price pizza day that helps make up for it. Most of the other items seem on par and the spicy feta dip with seasoned bread sticks is extremely good.\n\nThe parking situation is interesting, as there is a parking lot but it is not readily apparent that its for that strip center. It looks to be for the business right next to it since it is not even on the same block as the center where Tailgate is. Additionally there is a large lot directly behind the center that has plenty of parking, but is an immediate tow zone. There needs to be a more obvious indication that this huge and apparently unused lot should not be used for parking as the only way you know is walking to the front door of Tailgate and being warned on the way in. I suspect developers are planning to build something here, but surely the lot could be leased or something in the meantime.\n\nAs seen by my star rating I can overlook minor things, and overall this place is well worth a visit if your an East Nashvillian.",
"A little room for improvement, but I do like Tailgate East! Our server was very friendly. The beers were a little pricey, however. Might just be me, but I feel like you should get a better deal on beer at a brewery. No middle-man, right? Anyways, I believe our beers were $6 and $7 (and they weren't double IPAs or anything). I've purchased the same beers for half the price at bars around town.\n\nThe food was good overall. The menu was a bit limited. The pizza was good+ and the sandwich was good- IMO.\n\nThe parking is tricky if you don't know beforehand... don't park behind Tailgate or in the Biscuit House lot. There's a lot one sidestreet over to the left (looking from the road).\n\nLastly, Tailgate's currently on the small side without the \"bells and whistles\" of some other breweries around town. I think it's still a work in progress, but it would be really great if they could acquire the land behind the building to build a nice beer garden and/or find a way to add some darts, games, etc.\n\nLooking forward to future growth and hopefully some price reductions or at least some beer specials!",
"With the craft beer scene in Nashville growing at such a fast pace, it's nice to see TailGate expanding to East Nashville. The taproom is smaller than their brewery/taproom location in West Nashville, but I was pleased to see so many tap handles. The lunch special is a great one, especially if you can swing a beer at lunchtime - a pizza & a pint for $10. Make sure you pay attention to parking - their lot is next to the building, not behind it.",
"Best beer. Best pizza. Best service. Pricing is fine. Standard for a brewery in 2018. They have their own free parking lot which is rare in Nashville.",
"Love this place and super glad they are finally in east! A killer selection of beer (there's a full bar, too!) and OMFG THEIR PIZZA. I had the Mac & cheese pizza and about died. It was heavenly. For sure come check this place out if you haven't already!"

"This seafood house is BRAND NEW and I'm super excited to review while it's still so new. Some friends and I came because we heard there would be an option to have your crawfish cooked with an Asian-flavored sauce. Gotta be honest, not everything we had was WOW, but I'm bumping up my 3.5 stars to 4 because this restaurant offers flavors that are much desired to the New Orleans food scene. You know I'm here for the food diversity.\n\nTo share, we got an order of fries and the Crab Lagoon Dip, both of which were fine. Nothing spectacular, but definitely tasty. The dip had a nice creamy texture with a generous portion of crab. The fries are kind of like thinly sliced steak fries. They serve the fries on a platter with a little basket tipped over, which I thought was kind of unnecessary.\n\nWe each ordered our own servings of crawfish and shrimp. I was a bit disappointed that you couldn't order by the half pound and you can't mix flavors either. At places like Boiling Crab in CA, these options are readily available! However, once I got my order of Asian style shrimp, I was really happy. I ordered extra high heat knowing that they probably wouldn't make it \"extra high\". I was right, but I was definitely satisfied by the heat anyways. The flavor was delicious with many chunks of garlic, and I'm pretty sure they put some of the Chinese satay (bbq) sauce in the sauce as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp because they were so perfectly cooked and deeeelicious. Shrimp today was $13/pound and crawfish was $10/pound (double most places!)\n\nThey also don't have happy hour yet, so if you're looking for a happy hour spot, maybe wait a few weeks! Overall, the beautiful murals and warm vibes from this restaurant made the atmosphere an awesome place to just hang out and eat some tasty seafood. Most items are on the pricier side, but it is a seafood house on Magazine St. so I can't say I blame them for up-charging. I can't wait to come back when they have a happy hour!",
"We have been excited about this new Boil house opening close to our house and were eager to try and recommend. The name and menu suggests \"New Orleans\" seafood but it is not. Everything is Vietnamese inspired and somewhat pricy. For example, crawfish was $10 a pound and the etoufee had sticky rice. Everything tasted good but not what we expected.",
"I went during their first week of service, which...ok...they're still working out the kinks and are short staffed. But we waited 20 minutes to be asked for our drink orders, at which time we ordered our food since we had so long to peruse the 2 page menu. We then waited another 20 min for our drinks (which was just a coke and root beer) then 30 min for our food. I don't know where they were raised but their Cajun flavor was NOT Cajun. It was more Asian infused (which is a flavor option) but I was assured it was 'cajun.' The food was cold when we finally got it, so we had to wait some more for them to warm it up. \nWe paid $4 each for andouille and potatoes, we got 4 super small red potatoes and 4 one inch pieces of sausage. I could have bought a large bag of potatoes and a pack of sausage for $4 each (and the sides are all a la carte). \n\nI can say the garlic butter shrimp was delicious and the only thing that I felt was barely worth the money. I felt a bit punished, giving them my money. \n\nI would like to restate that we did go during the first week and the were short staffed but we ended up spending 2.5 hours on ok food and okay service. Of you're visiting New Orleans, by all means go. But natives should know where to go to get better cheaper seafood.",
"Save your time/and go elsewhere. I was open to this different type off boil and was eager to give it a shot and like it. Different flavors to my crawfish sounds wonderful. But I can guarantee I'll not be going back here. I'd be willing to give that style a try again elsewhere, however. \n\nThe prices are just absurd. I understand seafood is based upon market value but trying to sell crawfish at $8/lb and certain crab offerings at over $50 for the smallest order. Flat out robbery. Not to mention if you want sausage with your order it will run you an extra $4. Now that doesn't seem bad, but when they only serve you 4 pieces of sausage that combined equal half a sausage, you can't help but just laugh. \n\nOn the bright side...the wall. There's an awesome swamp mural on the inside wall that uses black light to add some neat accents to it. Tonya the waitress was great and if it wasn't for her this place would have only gotten 1 star.",
"I was really excited when I saw this restaurant on an Eater article. I have been waiting for a Vietnamese style Cajun place to open up (and props to Boil Seafood for having the guts to do something different). Upon first sitting down, it took 15 minutes for a server to take our drink order (by that time, we were ready to order our food). The overall environment seemed very disorganized - I realized this was their first week, but c'mon guys, you can do better than that. The server was unknowledgeable on the various sauces. We waited another hour for our first dish to come out, which were the Charbroiled oysters. This was pretty good and was probably the only thing that was good out of the dishes we ordered. Everything went downhill from there.\n \nAfter waiting another hour, we called for the servers attention, and we were told that they accidentally gave our crawfish and crab to another table...once we finally got our seafood, we realized it was the wrong sauce and spiciness level. Also, the crawfish did not seem fresh, it was somewhat dry so they must've cooked in advance the day before. \n\nOverall, if you are looking for New Orleans style crawfish or seafood, there are better places to go that has better service, fresher seafood and better value. I really hope they can improve, but for now, I will not be going back.",
"The seafood pots are well made but that's about it. The bread is extra. There are no sides. It's a cute restaurant. Will not be coming back again.",
"Food was really good but service was beyond lacking. I must have gotten up at least three times and the hostess had to help me. She was a gem. I definitely would have rated it higher based on the food alone. The varying of heat with the different flavors is a great aspect of eating here but beware, the \"low\" will still leave your mouth with a little burn.",
"Wow nice seafood restaurant!!! Just ate there for lunch and let me tell you had a donzn charboil oyster was delicious and we ordered 5 pound of the Asian garlic butter crawfish was good too I highly recommend coming n try out there seafood",
"The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful ! Crawfish have very unique flavors! Great addition to the city! Excellent service! Will be back soon!",
"Tried this new spot out when I came in from out of state to visit some friends and let me tell you, that I've never experienced seafood on this level! Steamed crawfish and crab infused with the Caribbean \"jerk\" sauce with chunks of mango was to die for! Talk about taking your taste buds to a different level. Steamed crawfish taste so much cleaner and juicier. Will definitely be back!"

"When we walked in, we were greeted with the sounds of a fiesta - fun, lively music, and all the tables full of people enjoying their meals.\n\nIt is, as the tagline says, pretty delicious! We ordered a steak taco, a carnitas taco, an American taco, chips & guacamole, and paid only about $12. Everything was fresh and well-seasoned - I loved the spice rub on the steak. There's an assortment of fresh salsas of various heat levels, and a Jones soda fountain!\n\nThe outdoor seating area is spacious and comfortable - can't wait to visit in the evening when it's lit up.\n\nWe'll be coming back - there's nothing quite like this in the area!",
"Very friendly staff. The food is seasoned well. I ordered a flour softshell steak taco and a tortilla soup. The taco was fantastic but the soup was warm at best which is why I gave 4 stars. Hopefully they are also able to decrease the time waiting in line. I did not deduct for this as it looks like they are still trying to figure it out. Enjoy your tacos.",
"This place is so delicious! \n\nThe staff was so nice, and although it was a little bit of a wait, we didn't mind. They just opened and are working through high demand, they have also be very open about wait times on social meeting, and signs on the door, etc.\n\nI had the fish (soft corn tortilla), chicken (soft flour tortilla) , and ground beef (hard shell) tacos and they were all amazing, I'm still not sure of my favorite. :) \n\nChips, Guac, and queso were equally yummy and they have Jones fountain soda.\n\nThey also have a fresh self serve salsa bar, with various types and heat levels of salsa.\n\nWe definitely loved this place so far, they are worth the wait and we can't wait to go back!",
"This place looks great inside. They have a lot of potential so just give them some patience to work out the kinks. It's like a chipotle but you order at the register and they will bring your order to you. They have a lot of seating space and even an outdoor dining area. I had the burrito bowl. You get to choose your meat, type of bean, and sauce. I had burrito bowl of chicken, black bean and pico sauce to go. See pictures. It was very good. It had more rice than I wanted but it did have a small bed of lettuce on top. They also have a Jones sofa dispenser!",
"Half decent food. I went there twice and both times they took long to make my order. They also messed up my food twice. The prices are not good comparing to the other Mexican restaurants in swedesboro. They also give small portions for what you pay. I would think they would give you a whole corn for almost 4 dollars but they give you a half. I will be gladly going to the other Mexican places for now on.",
"The food was amazing! Even my picky eater loved the tacos! The different sauces were great and chips were fresh. We can't wait to go back for more!!!",
"This place is great! The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is bright and friendly. Taco Lindo is still really new and they have been working out the kinks to fix the issues with wait times for the food. But from the beginning the food had been what stands out. My husband (who loves authentic Mexican food and is a huge food snob) loves this place and we drove over 30 minutes to eat here twice and plan to go again even though it isn't that convenient for us. The ingredients are fresh and local and the owners really try to make sure their customers have a good experience. I also highly recommend the nachos!",
"The staff was super nice and friendly, it had a nice clean environment but unfortunately the food was all pretty bland. No major spices, seasonings, or flavor popped out of any of my tacos. The tortilla soup was pretty good be again could've been a bit more flavorful.",
"Great service and delicious food. Traveling here on business and made it twice in a row. Loved the chicken burrito yesterday and the nachos today are excellent! May come back three days in a row!",
"My husband and I tried this place for the first time last night and all I can say is delish! I ordered a burrito bowl with carnitas which was cooked perfectly, bright, and flavorful. I was ecstatic that the rice was tender and moist, not dry or mushy which I hate. Nice to have this option in our area and not have to drive 30 mins away."

"We have a new favorite Italian restaurant, Bros on East Bay in Largo. Their pizza crust is thin, crisp and perfectly cooked and the sauce is excellent. I had the chicken francese and it was, without a doubt, the best ever. I highly recommend this place. Fast and friendly service.",
"I've been eating at bros for a few years at the Clearwater location, and I was excited to try out this location being super close to my house. I got the stuffed mushrooms with the sherry cream sauce, that sauce was amazing, they do put a balsamic glaze on top of it which is awesome. Then I ordered the penne alla vodka ( OHHHMMGEEE) had to be the best one I've had. EVER. I also had the frutti di mare in tomato sauce. It has shrimp, calamari, mussels and clams but I x'd out the clams andextra mussels. So AMAZING. I ordered a extra garden salad. ITS HUGE and all of the portions are plenty. Lastly I got the dessert pizza with mallow and strawberries, omg the best bit of sweetness to end a meal. The price is definitely reasonable and the decor is welcoming. Our server was great and personable I will be back!",
"This is a pizza place we've been looking for! Eat in or take out, even the next day the pizza still tastes like it just came out of the oven! Love the happy hour deals and I will be back for more. Thanks for bringing amazing pizza to Largo.",
"Oh wow. This is my new favorite pizza place. I ordered the Margarita pizza and added ham. It was so fresh tasting and delicious. The crust was the perfect consistency and the staff were very helpful and friendly. \n\nThis is my first ever Yelp review. I just had to give them kudos for doing such a good job.",
"Love that there is a new location and that it restaurant style. This is our new pizza go-to. Delivery takes a while (60+ min both times) so pizza is not as hot as we'd like when it arrives. Probably still working out those kinks. Definitely worth a try if you are questioning a visit. You will for sure enjoy your meal.",
"First time to Bro's today and I have to say, coming from the Northeast, I'm particular about my pizza. We started with mozzarella-sticks, which were really good. Followed up with the Bros Pizza special which includes pepperoni, sausage, peppers and onions (hold the mushrooms) and it was really tasty. Everything was fresh and hot. We'll be back!",
"Maybe the pizza is good? Had delivery of classic lasagna, where's the meat? Marsala was the second dish and never saw anything so small! Ordered the Italian wedding soup. NOT ANY meat in two bowls. The meals arrived COLD after a 45 minute eta and it actually arrived eighty minutes after ordering. This is the first time I've ever given a bad review but feel like $35 including tip was extremely high for this food. Will never eat this food again and will definitely not recommend it. Hope I don't get sick tonight!! If there was a zero rating, that's what it would receive. Yuck.",
"Went today had sausage sandwich delicious. Happy hour great bartenders very friendly. A great stop",
"This was HANDS DOWN The best pizza in service I've had in a long time I don't usually even post yelp reviews but this deserve one please go there I would hate for them to go out of business and us not be able to get their pizza anymore",
"I was greeted immediately and the gentleman who was the bartender asked me how I was and what did I need. I said I was hoping to get a place at the bar but it was full except for one crowded out seat. He led me over and kindly asked the people there for a little room which they happily gave me. The people were very great at the bar and, after I ordered a Stella I found out that one guy there went to my High school ( and we're both old lol) I was looking at the menu and it listed slices of pizza and that is why I was there. That's why I'm anywhere; I pizza!! The bartender informed me that I couldn't get slices after 3:00. \"We have entrees so slices are basically counter productive.\" (Summarizing) It didn't make sense to me because I was drinking $5.50 drafts. The people were all eating pizza and I just had an expensive crappy beer. I left."

"The new first watch location is adorable! The layout is very open and bright, and the atmosphere is like a cozy country kitchen. I had the eggs Benedict blt which was served on a brioche bread with poached eggs a hollandaise sauce with bacon and arugula and a small side salad (tomatoes removed for personal taste). It was absolutely delicious! My boyfriend the super food bowl which he describes as \"refreshing\". Everything tasted so clean and fresh I have to agree with him. Our server Camille was very friendly and hands on without being overbearing. They even opened the door for us when we entered! Overall a wonderful experience, a place I would recommend to anyone!",
"Atmosphere was amazingly inviting, excellent customer service. I had the healthy turkey omelette, all the ingredients fresh and delicious, with the fastest A.M. service I've experienced this year!",
"Stopped in for breakfast before catching a flight. Nice little setup with good concept. The food was pretty good. Had the french toast which was given with a plentiful portion. Worth the trip but wont blow you away.",
"Very disappointing. We had been to First Watch in Phoenix and loved it. This location was seriously lacking. Our service was not good. She took our order and then never came back. Someone else brought our food, but half of the order was wrong and we never received the correct food. The poached eggs were basically hard boiled. The soup was mediocre. They gave us excuses for the poor service and food stating that they were really busy. I've been a waitress before and they weren't that busy, and as a customer, I don't care how busy they are, I just want my order to be correct.",
"I like everything about First Watch from the greeting when you arrive, to the goodbye when you leave, and everything in between. You don't worry about searching for a server to get a coffee or water refill because the carafes are at the table! \n\nThe service is great and the food from the seasonal and regular menu is delicious. There is nothing to complain about, unless you don't like good food and awesome service.",
"Very much like the Kirkwood location. Clean, good service, and great tasting, fresh food. Unlike Kirkwood, twice my order has been wrong. Obviously they corrected it, or I wouldn't go back. But they keep on doing this. While this location is close and more convenient, I'll probably go back to Kirkwood location. The servers need to listen, or the kitchen staff needs to pay closer attention. I have no idea which caused the problems. I would suggest that management figure out which it is and fix it.",
"Love love First Watch.\n\nHappy to see the old Northwest Plaza being developed and this place already looks to be a hit.\n\nCan't get enough of their avocado toast. Lots of healthy options on the menu as well.\n\nDefinitely see myself being a regular when I town. Convenient location to STL airport.",
"I'm never disappointed with the food. Its always delicious! The menu is great! \nHowever, it does not matter if you get in line using the app or not. I've tried it so many times and you still have to wait 15-20min (it depends on how busy they are). Also, the service is good. Very professional and friendly staff.",
"Great food. You can check in online but they do not take reservations. (Basically a reservation.) The food never disappoints and the servers are all great. Try their pumpkin pancakes- delicious!!!",
"I usually visit First Watch on Sunday after church, but it's even better on Saturday after an all nighter. Service is excellent, food is good, and they leave the coffee pot and pitcher of water at the table. \n\nThe only thing I would recommend is to look at the nutritional facts online. For example, I could have had the Super Foods Bowl off the healthy menu for 1,070 calories (yogurt, granola, chia seeds, fruit, toast with almond butter); or the Heritage Pork Chop and eggs for 670 calories (an apple-wood smoked Duroc pork chop with apple compote, any style eggs, and cheese grits). I could've saved more calories by holding the cheese, which I did not do because cheese is good. \n\nYou can use the First Watch App or Yelp to hold your place in line. If you don't, you can expect a 15 minute wait, if it's busy. \n\nRepeat customer. Highly recommend."

"This place opened for a few months now before summer. I'm surprised no one reviewed this place yet! \n\nWhen I came here, I never had African dishes so I asked for recommendations from our server. We were clueless af, but she got our backs.\n\nI got dry rice and fried fish, but I forgot the actual name of the dish, unfortunately. My boyfriend got lamb over dry rice. The proportions of the food are hugeeeeee!! It fed me for another three days. The lamb was delicious! The meat was tender and soft with enough fat left on it for some flavoring. The fish had lots of meat in it, so I didn't really have to worry about eating all bones. The rice was seasoned very well. \n\nOverall, I'd come back to try other dishes for sure.",
"A very good spot for fresh, well made African food in the Philly area. There's two locations (Upper Darby x West Philly) and they both offer quality options. No complaints on food/service but I have a tendency to order online and I've made several complaints about the limitations of the online menu. For example, the dry fish will just come with dry fish and rice BUT if you were to call in there's an option to add the veggies for an optional $3-4 (a bit steep for some veggies) so because they won't take cards over the phone I continually have to maneuver my order by adding items that add an additional price and then commenting what additional items I really want. It'd be nice if their online ordering was a bit more user friendly and reflected the menu options you would have in store. Other than that no issues. Large portions, fresh ingredients and reasonably fast delivery. Try the homemade ginger drink (if in stock) it's the best!",
"Delicious tilapia, couscous, and roasted plantain dish. The customer service was not exceptional, but the good food made up for where they lacked in friendliness. \nAlthough the restaurant wasn't crowded by any means, there was somewhat of a wait, but the food was hot and flavorful when it came to the table.\nOtherwise it was a good experience,and I will be sure to return.",
"I've visited this restaurant a few times before leaving my thoughts (just to give them a chance). Each time I've ordered, I leave with the same feeling. The food is great, however the service is TERRIBLE. Each time I've ordered, the person that took it, half listened and over talked me; only for me to get to the restaurant to find that the wrong order was taken. Initially I would wait, until finally I just walked out. I would eat in, if I had time or lived closer, until that can happen I will pass for now. There's a cool place around the corner, Fanta International, that's amazing!! For whatever reason they're not on Yelp, well maybe they are now!!!",
"Lately the lamb selection is mainly bones and fat meat very disappointing. It use to be a great place for African not sure what is going on now",
"Food is always hot. Unlike many african restaurant that we love and order from, order wait time is shorter( approximately 20min). Always did a take out. The restaurant looks tidy and neat. Grilled fish is well seasoned and to die for.",
"The West Philly/Upper Darby area is the epicenter of African food in Philly, but a lot of it is focused on Ethiopian and Eritrean food, so Upper Darby's Kings & Queens Liberian cuisine is a change of pace. As many dished are built around Jollof rice, the quality of this base has to be right. Kings & Queens does not disappoint, accompanied by a variety of sauces varying in spice level from bland to makes you cry, A very vegan friendly cuisine, I paired the rice with mixed veggies, and was full for the rest of the day. They also have a rotating selection of homemade fruit sodas and drinks, I had the pineapple ginger beer which was great. They recently moved to a larger location next door, and when I was there they still were doing a little work, but it looks like they are taking a great menu and moving it to a space that matches.",
"OMG this is my first time having African Food and I was recommended to try the attieke and fried chicken wings. The blend of everything was awesome!! Sweet plantains were too good and I am also glad I got a side of avocado. Overall if I could give 10 stars I would but keep up the good job guys! I'll be back very soon...",
"Had their jollof rice and lamb, it was so flavorful and amazing. Can't wait to go back. Their home made hot sauce was amazing too but ask for it on the side..... parking across the street in a lot i paid $2 for about an hour not bad.",
"Delicious! We will be coming here more, that is certain.\n\nI got the lamb with acheke and my girlfriend got the fried chicken with acheke, both came with plantain fries and side of sauces. \n\nThe lamb was tasty but the downside was it was more bone and fat than meat. The lamb meat I did get was yummy, but not large in number. (This is why 4/5).\n\nMy girlfriend loved the fried chicken\n\nThe acheke and fried plantains were amazing, I'll be craving more of those plantains. \n\nThe sauces were good and one was really hot so if you love spice it's pertect.\n\nWe got take out but might try dine in next time because the atmosphere was nice.\n\nWe are excited to keep trying different food here!"

"My husband and I were there last night. The restaurant decor is very pretty. Does not feel like you are in a casino at all. They have only been open for three days but the food was great and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Every person that worked there was very accommodating, attentive and pleasant. Great job, thanks again! Wish more places had the amazing customer service that this restaurant had.",
"We couldn't wait for this place to open. Went in tonight & it was a total let down. Waited an hour for our meal even though we were the 2nd people in the place. It was not crowed. My wife's burger was awful. The toasted bun was cold & the onions were hard. The French fries were very greasy. She didn't eat it. The bartender kept apologizing. One would think when a manager is told of a problem he or she would come over to talk to the patron but not this manager. He kept sending the bartender over. Every restaurant I've been in the manager comes by to see how things are. I know they have to work the bugs out but after the first couple nights they should have had their act together. We will not return. Save yourself & go to Chickie & Pete's. Never had a problem & if you do the manager come over to speak with you.",
"Went to dinner. Ordered fried chicken and a salad. Took an hour and a half to get our food! After an hour and half wait my fried chicken came out cold. Server was great and the manager came out and apologized. Manager also took my half of the meal off the bill. Bottom line the place is in total disarray. They kept on trying to deliver other tables food to us! Nobody had a clue what was going on. Won't go back. Not worth the long weight for average food.",
"Considering that this restaurant opened a few days ago food was great and loved the atmosphere. Waitress staff was great but food runners were a little lacking. The food runner took too long to decide who was getting what. Their beer selection is great and food was good besides the part that the fries came out cold. I definitely plan on coming back again & recommend everyone to try it!",
"Nice atmosphere and friendly service, very good TV setup and draft beer selection. Short rib burger and seafood chowder were excellent and large portions. Great addition to Parx. Will definitely return.",
"This place is the worst!!!!!!! My husband and I go out a few times a week and no matter how bad it is will tip at least 20%, we left 13 cents. I ordered an IPA and was brought a stout twice. The manager told me it was whatever I think it is and was beyond rude! Then brought me a medium well burger that was bleeding twice! Both the food and service suck!!! Don't waste your time there.",
"Gave a 2nd try but still below par. The Food Service Manager (Henry Bromley) asked me to let him know when I was coming back but I didn't want special treatment. This time around I ordered a chicken club. The wait for the food wasn't as long as the last time.The toast was burnt on the sandwich & it tasted it with every bite. My wife ordered the chicken & she was satisfied with it that is why I gave it another star. I ordered a beer & after I ordered it the keg kicked. I ordered another about 45 minutes later because I thought they would have replaced it by then, they didn't. I wasn't going to complain to anyone this time because it didn't do any good last time. Restaurant wise, they have to get their act together. I was hoping they would have opened Lombardi's but I heard there was a problem there even before it opened.",
"Had a reservation and was seated promptly. Waitress was very nice, but she neglected to bring us the drink menu until we asked and people at the bar were drinking flights of beer which was not on the menu nor offered to us. We had an hour and a half before The performance at the XCite if you a few feet away so did not think to tell them we were in a rush. After a half an hour when we did say something, food was promised by both the waitress and a manager but came out at least 45 minutes after we ordered. The rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes was pretty good as well as the flatbread appetizer. My wife did not care for her chopped salad and it did not look very appealing. The roasted vegetables were disappointing. \n\nThe place has a lot of potential but they need to step up their food service and train their abundant waitstaff better.",
"Total time to eat dinner and dessert, one hour and fifteen minutes. That's just as long as the Wayne Brady show we finished watching earlier in the evening. Like mentioned in previous reviews, this place has potential of being good. However, the wait staff don't seem to have common knowledge of serving. We were here seated very quickly upon entering. Our server came around to give us menus and offered water and asked us if we wanted a drink menu. After the server came back several minutes later with the drink menu, it appeared that she only wanted to drop it off, not ask if we were ready. I had to stop her to tell her we're ready to order. I ordered the bangers and mash while my girl ordered the short rib burger (not sure that's the name). The food came out within an average amount of time and was pretty good. I would've given a four star rating based on the meal alone. During the time we were eating, we were only checked on once at the time we just started on our meals. We sat around for a long while with our empty plates in front of us. Finally after the time passed, our server came around and almost assumed that we didn't want dessert. She seemed rathe shocked that we asked for the dessert menu. We ordered the creme brûlée which was absolutely incredible, a must have if you will. After finishing desert, we sat at the table for another ten more minutes waiting for the check to come around. The entire time sitting there we watched the five hostess' just stand around and talk. In my opinion, there's no need for that many hostess, especially since the servers time to check in on the guests is so slow. That being said, with the right management this place could average 4 stars in the future.",
"The worst dining experience ever, bad food overpriced drinks. \nCame with my girlfriend for dinner before a 1000 show. \nWe had 815pm dinner reservations which we arrived exactly at 815pm \nWe were seated at 820pm and waited 10 minutes before a waitress came over and asked if we wanted drinks. \nAs we were thinking of what we wanted to drink the waitress asked if we wanted a drink menu. \nWhy wouldn't a drink menu be presented to us when we were seated? \nAfter we decided on drinks it took another 10 minutes for the drinks to come out. \nAt approximately 840pm we placed an order for the grilled focaccia for appetizer a truffle burger and a crispy chicken burger for main course. \nIt took almost 15 mins for the focaccia to come out. \nThe focaccia was warm not hot and it was like rubber.\nAs me and my girlfriend were talking I commented to her that main course is taking forever, looked at the time it 940pm. \nIt had been an hour since we placed our order. \nI went over and complained to the manager Anthony who told me they were having trouble in the kitchen. \nThanks for letting us know!\nI told him we had a 1000pm show that we could no longer wait. \nHe told me to come back at 12am after the show that he would buy us dinner. \nI returned to my table where we finished our 2nd round of drinks that we had ordered while waiting for the main course.. \nThe waitress comes to table and hands me the check for the appetizer and 4 drinks $71.00. \n$17.50 for a small glass of Johnny Walker black which was mostly ice. \nI've never paid $17.50 for a drink not even in Manhattan. \nWe left and went to show which was good but the seating was horrible. The seats were so uncomfortable and tight. No leg or elbow room your knees are practically hitting the seat in front of you. \nI will writing a complaint about that on the Casinos website. \nAfter the show was over we went back to Liberty Bell to eat. \nWe were seated immediately and advised the same waitress we had earlier we wanted to the same order \nWe also ordered a glass of wine and a Diet Coke. \nAfter 5 minutes a manger comes out and tells my girlfriend they ran out of chicken for her sandwich. \nShe told the manager that she only eats chicken she can't eat seafood and doesn't eat red meat. \nThe manager goes no problem give us a few minutes we'll whip something up. \nAfter 10 minutes they bring out my truffle burger and a grilled chicken sandwich. \nI thought they ran out of chicken for her chicken sandwich.\nMy burger had no taste was so bland and cooked well when I asked for medium. \nMy girlfriends chicken sandwich was bland as well. \nAfter we were done the waitress handed me a bill. \nWhen I asked what's it for she goes the food is on the manger but not the drinks. \nSeriously after giving us the worst dining experience they couldn't include a $2.50 Diet Coke. \nSave your self the time and aggravation do not dine at Liberty Bell. \nBetter yet stay away from Parx Casino totally.\nExtremely disappointed"

"Excellent burger, roast beef sandwich was delicious, crab rangoon and garlic green beans were amazing. We had a nice little varriety. Prices were good too.",
"Really good food! Love that they have food for adventurous eaters and for the not so adventurous as well. Beer is cheap and the frozen drinks are delicious. Service is good, and atmosphere okay. Nice bar area but also a nice family friendly side as well. Overall, it's definitely my new favorite spot.",
"Located in the small shopping plaza with the Dollar General across the street from Schnucks grocery. The restaurant is in a huge store front with lots of windows. The main entrance is through the left set of doors. While it make look dark from the outside, don't worry, it's just the tint on the windows.\n\nUpon entering, there is no hostess stand so it's a little confusing. The waitress saw me immediately and was able to assist. Right when you walk in, there is a large open room filled with tables and booths with a busser stand on the back wall. To the right of the main entrance is a second room with a bar, high top tables, and some TVs. If you don't see a waitress, just walk to the bar since there was a bartender available.\n\nI placed a to-go order and it was ready within 10 minutes from my call. My order of Bun Thit Nuong (vermicelli noodles with grilled beef, 2 shrimp, 1 large egg roll, fresh veggies, peanuts, and fish sauce) was a large portion. The meat was not tough, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the egg roll was only slightly soggy after the car ride back to the office. I would absolutely order again, but I've got my eye on the pho next, or banh mi next.\n\nOverall, food is good, service was good, décor inside and out is lacking. I would rather have good food over good décor any day!",
"We tried a variety of items off the menu, as the prices were very reasonable. Excellent spring roll (the best we have ever had), the steak kabob\n (flavorful and juicy), the Mushroom Swiss Hamburger (huge and tasty), an order of onion rings ( plentiful) and the potato skins. Everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!!",
"This restaurant just opened a month ago so of course i was eager to try it. Everything is a la carte but the prices are reasonable enough to where that's not a big deal. The portion sizes are very nice and the food was fresh. \n\nTheir downfalls are in the logistics. It took a good 25 or so minutes to get my appetizer of jumbo chicken wings. They were not spicy at all as the menu notes but they were very good with a hint of sweetness. They are regular sized party wings and you get 12.\n\nThe food also took a while to come out. I got the fried rice which was enough for 2 people to share. It's better if you add soy sauce to it to add some saltiness but it was good and i would order it again. \n\nAnother of our guests ordered the pork loin sandwich. It was fried and basically like a boneless pork chop sandwich. It had a good flavor. The cheese fries were delicious but when are they not right?\n\nMy only other 3 issues were 1, we had to keep flagging the waiter down. He was nice but never came over to check on us. He spent in between time bussing tables and wrapping silverware which we had to ask for. \n2, it's soo bright in there. It would really be great if the main dining area was a bit dimmer like the bar area to add a more comfortable ambience and there's no decorum to fill the emptiness of the space. 3, the tables don't extend to the edge of the booth. They are too short. It was just odd. \n\nIf they fix a few of these things, it will be a successful restaurant.",
"First visit! Will definitely be back! Excellent service and food. The fried rolls are a new but pleasant experience. The fried pork tenderloin sandwich was outstanding!! Anxious to try some of the Vietnamese specialties.",
"LOVE SPOT HOUSE!! So many options, and the crab Rangoon is to die for! Haven't had a bad meal there yet.",
"We carried out from the Spot House tonight and tried four different items. The chicken tacos, the fish tacos, nachos and the fried rice. The chicken tacos and the fish tacos were very good. The nachos were not that great. Some of the chips were a little burnt and the cheese sauce was average at best. The fried rice was just OK. We definitely had more flavorful rice at other restaurants. We would definitely go back for the chicken and fish tacos and to try other items on the menu.",
"I've have been here a few times and have tried nearly everything on the menu. The food is pretty amazing. I enjoy that they have an eclectic menu and have some items that are unique to the area. The staff has always been very friendly and attentive. The banh mi is a must!",
"Great good and great service! Not a fancy place, but perfect for our family!! Love the Spring Rolls!"

"Excited that Char is open in Nashville . We went tonight for the opening . It was Awesome . Can't wait to go back !",
"We had lunch today at Char.The room was nice, tables and chairs comfortable, noise low enough for good conversation. There was a tiny seating snafu which was handled exceedingly well. The food was well seasoned and delicious. (And a bargain for a nice lunch.). We had meatloaf, steak and fritters and a huge warm brownie. I will eat here again knowing I will be well fed and well treated!",
"Absolutely wonderful. This place is gonna be a big hit. I don't know what else to say but thanks for coming to Green Hills.",
"Mixed review. Rainy night. Only one \nvalet best we could see. No umbrella or assistance to get through the rain to restaurant. Mentioned to Char receptionist. Said it was not their fault, contractor design issue. Went in \"wet\"\nMeal and service excellent. Got rained on again waiting for and walking to car. How about adding more valets, umbrella, etc!",
"Char is a welcome addition to Nashville. Foodies won't be impressed as there is no pretentiousness here just great food, service and atmosphere. Sorry no foam on the grits or seaweed butter just classics done well.",
"Very nice staff and delicious food. The Old Fashioned was perfect. Try the Brownie for desert.",
"We just had lunch and food was great! Lunch specials include 2 sides for $13.00. It was plenty of food and service was great as well. Looking forward to coming back for dinner. BTW.... Michael was our server.",
"I suggest making reservations, i didnt because i didnt think it was necessary, you can go to the bar its first come first serve. General Manager was very sweet and it was pleasure talking to her. The food was great i went during brunch i had Chicken n waffle. I will definitely go again..",
"I am THRILLED to welcome CHAR to Green Hills. Enough with the fast casual chains!! While those do have their place, CHAR is perfect for the next level. We arrived their second day of business. We were there early, as that is the only reservation they had available, so things were not \"hopping\" yet.. but they got that way as we made our way through our dinner. The main dining room is sleek and modern. I love the gold map of the city hand done on the wall. The clientele is a little older than I am used to seeing in the city, but I think that speaks well to the future success of this restaurant... as even the more mature audience was excited and prompt to see what CHAR was all about.\nI highly recommend the crab cake.. it is about 99 percent jumbo lump crab, with just a touch of other ingredients for flavor. Melt in your mouth!\nThe duck was delicious.. perfectly cooked and a great combination of heat and sweet. And if you love a great steakhouse burger, you will love this one.\nThey hang their hat on their steaks, and there is a reason for that. It is such a welcome bonus that the steaks COME WITH a loaded baked potato side.\nAfter our meal, we headed up to the bar to enjoy the live piano tunes. LOVE that they are featuring paino music. It adds such a nice ambience. A perfect fit for this venue. Expect it nightly after 6. Weekends will feature a jazz trio for brunch, I am told. The tables in the bar are open seating, but they stay pretty full.\nThere was one fail... the valet parking was waaaaaaay understaffed and slow. I recommend you bypass the valet and park yourself in the garage. You can do so by driving past the valet, and veering to the left into the garage.",
"I visited Char for the first time for dinner and although there were some hiccups through out our visit I must say the service and how they handled each situation was professional and handled with class. Kim Burton the manager is amazing and because of her patience and professionalism we will define back again. \n\nNow, for the food, I thoroughly enjoyed the crab claws. I had them fried but you can get them sautéed or half fried and half sautéed. They were flavorful and would have been satisfied if I could have just had more and more of those. The wedge salad was good and fresh. I can't stand going to a restaurant and they serve a withered up salad. I originally ordered the ribeye and they were out of it. So, I opted for the New York strip. To me, it could have used more flavor and I had to send it back because it wasn't cooked to the temperature of my liking but all in all the presentation was good and it wasn't burned or dry. It was served with a loaded baked potato and we got some sides to share. I wasn't crazy about the Southwest creamed corn. It was sort of bland but the caramelized onion Mac n cheese was pretty tasty. For dessert we had the blueberry bread pudding, all I am say is get it. If your full just get it to go and eat it later you won't be disappointed. \n\nWe will definitely be visiting again soon!"

"Two Chicks Cafe is one of my favourite breakfast spots in the city and now they opened one closer to me!!! I'll be there more often now to get my day started with their amazing french toast and shrimp and grits!! I had their juices too and they are soooo good!!",
"Went here this morning and had the Kickin' Chicken Omelet. It was probably the best omelet I ever had!! They also have fresh juices. I had the Iron Chick. It consisted of beet, ginger, orange, carrots and apple. The girl made fresh in front of me.",
"I wanted to try the Convention Center Blvd. location, but something would always deter me from getting there.\n I was happy to stumble across the Gravier St. Spot! It has a wonderful brunch vibe, so so cute and the meal was awesome! \nWill definitely be back",
"All of the waitstaff and owners were very welcoming!! Their menu is super affordable ,healthy, and delicious!! You have to visit when you are in town!",
"Very cozy place.delicious food and very nice staff will be back soon! Recommend for everyone who is visiting new orleans",
"Absolutely fabulous!!! Great presentation, flavor, and service. Our server Michelle was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend checking this place out.",
"Great breakfast In CBD right near where we were staying. It's a second location and newer so no wait time at all. The music is oldies and fun to listen to. They serve breakfast all day. Great cocktail menu. The servers were very nice. The iron chick juice was so yummy. I had the vegetarian hatchery which was great. My husband enjoyed the buckwheat Nutella crepe. Highly recommend and I'm sure once people find out about this place it will be packed!!!!",
"Great food great service. We are from Cincinnati and decided to take a walk until we found a place to eat. We passed many places this morning. Until we peeled around the corner and saw this nice little cafe.",
"Outstanding food and fast friendly service\n\nI tried their Cafe Breakfast which includes two eggs any-style, roasted potatoes or grits , and a choice of either ham, bacon,andouille sausage or turkey which is a great heart smart option. I ended up going with the andouille and added some smoked gouda to my scrambled eggs\n\nWhile the presentation and quantity of the food was excellent, its the incredibly delicious flavor that will have you promising yourself a speedy return. The eggs were spot on and the gouda was a perfect compliment. And the andouille was outstanding ! \n\nI will definitely be back",
"One of my absolute favorite spots for breakfast in the CBD! Have never had a disappointing meal or less than stellar service! Would recommend to anyone who lives in or is visiting New Orleans!"

"Ignore that other review. This place has great panini and other sandwiches. And it is cheap. I never order anything but water but you get a panino big enough for two meals for about $7.50. That's crappy subway prices but great local biz quality. I live downtown and I consider this place one of the perks. Also they have hookas etc. But I've never tried any of that.",
"My friends and I have had lunch at Paninoteca a couple of weeks ago. We really enjoyed our lunch. First we have ordered some hummus and it was very very good. We couldn't stop eating it and we had to get some more pita. I had ordered some lamb sandwich or wrap - it was very very good. \n\nHighly recommend it.",
"Mediterranean lunch feel restaurant in the middle of Tampa. \n\nThe menu has a majority of lunch items, such as wraps, panini's, or pita's. If you are looking for a large selection of Mediterranean foods, look else where as quick and easy sandwichy items are pretty much all they have. That still doesn't mean you should skip on this great place.\n\nThe ingredients were fresh and made to order. I had the Mediterranean chicken panini that was pretty good and filling. It comes with a little side salad with balsamic vinaigrette. \n\nAverage dish is about $7-8 with a total bill of around $10-12 when you walk out. Well worth the price for lunch and a nice casual dinner.\n\nThe bottled mineral water that they put on the table is $4.50 and is not on the menu, so be warned.",
"My husband and i ate there last week when in town on business...I have to say that the food was authentic, fresh and a pleasure, nice sidewalk tables and friendly staff. We ate there for lunch and also took some friends there for dinner a few days later. My husband especially enjoyed the lamb. Tapas was served with fresh warm pita bread and was refilled as needed. Great lunch!!!",
"Super good. I had a greek salad. We also ordered bruschetta and baba ganouj. Everything was excellent. It tasted very fresh. I want to go back tomorrow.",
"One word: amazing! Best hummus ever... Great paninis! The mozz/tomato/basil is always great... They put a homemade garlic aoili on some of the sandwiches which make them always a standout. My boyfriend got the lamb gyro, the meet was really tender and overall a great choice. Nice to eat outside, busy lunch crowd, good service and very authentic.",
"Really neat decor in this place, very modern. Service was great. This place doesn't seem like it gets loads of business, so the only drawback is that the food while very good is probably heated up from a batch of uncertain preparation date. I would recommend them to make smaller batches of their dishes more frequently so it is fresher. I would say that their accompanying salad with the dish was fantastic.",
"Paninoteca is awesome! It's a mediterranean and greek place that always has the most delicious and fresh appetizers, sandwiches and salads. They make almost everything from scratch in the restaurant including the baba ganouj, hummus, roasted garlic and greek feta spread, and the tzatziki and they all come with delicious, warm pita. I love going there to hang out and have a great time with friends for lunch or dinner. They have awesome hours- they're open everyday, all day. AND now they have Sangria Sundays- two for one! Delish!\nI would recommend this to anyone (:",
"Very small and short on seating. Pita wrap was very hard to eat and overstuffed. Baklava was pretty amazing though. Would try this place again.",
"I had a Groupon ($15 for $30) so I treated my dental assistant to lunch. We shared a Greek salad and each ordered the herb roasted lamb pita. The Greek salad was very very good. I would definitely order that again. The lamb pita was also good- a little heavy on the onion and tzatziki but healthier tasting than a traditional gyro. The pita was nice and chewy but lacked the pizzazz of those with a fried, crunchy outer layer. Definitely healthier tasting so a nice change of pace.\nI will definitely return for more Greek sald and to try more sandwiches."

"Great beer, great brewer, great food, great atmosphere. I recommend stopping by and when you do get their contact info. I cant find anything online",
"I stumbled upon this gem earlier this evening. As a long time Santa Barbara local I am thrilled to finally have a real local quality \"Brew Pub\" on lower state street. I had been to the previous Santa Barbara Brewing Company in the past and didn't much care for it. The Cruisery brings this place to a whole different class. The food is spectacular and unique, we had the Bohn Mi flatbread and buffalo wings. Both were great. The wings I'd have to say are hands down the best in Santa Barbara. I had the Steak Friet as well. The steak was cooked perfectly as request (seems to be difficult for a lot of restaurants). I had the IPA brewed in house which was fantastic. The Pineapple Express cocktail is delicious and borderline hilarious with its garnish (you'll have to order and see why). I also got the Old Fashion which is completely unique, I'm not sure what they did but it involves fire and is fun to watch. This place is truest unique and I'd highly recommend it.",
"Okay, here's the deal. I'm a huge insane yelp taker but not a giver. I only review when it's insanely bad or insanely good and this place is unreal. I feel like I'm in a dream. Amazing cocktails, incredible food, unbelievable venue. What more adjectives do you need? Get up and get here!",
"The Cruisery is a fresh new take on the brewpub on lower state. The decor is updated and hip with an eclectic feel. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful in navigating the new menus and talking about the spot's revamp.\n\nThe food is pretty decent, but not as good as the old SB Brewing Company. The menu is inventive, but pretty limited in options. Portions are on the smaller side as well.\n\nThey serve, beer, wines, and cocktails. The cocktails are pretty good! The wine list is pathetic given the large number of great local wineries.\n\nThe beer is meh. That was always the problem before and still the problem today. They're okay when knocking a few back to watch a game, but definitely not worth sticking in the fridge at home.",
"This spot has a lot of potential. It hasn't been open long enough and still has some kinks to work out. The service was pretty slow for so many people working there on a Wednesday night. \n\nIt's really cute inside with their beach cruiser theme. I like the open seating and that it's dog friendly. I ordered the State & Fig, their bourbon based cocktail and it was pretty good. \n\nI'll definitely be back. Four stars.",
"Excellent! Went in last night and had a great experience. The ambiance is comfortable and they did a great job decorating the place. The food, drinks, and staff were all great.\n\nFor food we got the chicken tacos, chicken wings, elote, and pretzels.\n\nDrinks I ordered the fig infused old fashioned and it was great. The vanilla tobacco smoke was a nice touch.\n\nThe staff were all wonderful. Will definitely be going back!",
"So amazing! We loved everything about the place and how it's converted to a modern and chic place! \n\nThey had very interesting drinks and were absolutely delicious. We started with some beers, the blonde and the IPA, and got some cocktails. The aloe from the other side was delicious and other friends for other drinks as well.\n\nThe food looked amazing. I didn't partake but friends had salad and pizza. \nWe were there on a Wednesday and it was busy and fun. Our servers Olivia and Sam were awesome and super helpful!!",
"Okay, here's the deal. I'm a huge insane yelp taker but not a giver. I only review when it's insanely bad or insanely good and this place is unreal. I feel like I'm in a dream. Amazing cocktails, incredible food, unbelievable venue. What more adjectives do you need? Get up and get here",
"Great atmosphere! Flatbreads and buffalo wings were amazing! Staff were friendly and welcoming! Given the short time they've been open, it's definitely on its way to becoming a well oiled machine!",
"Okay so this place far exceeded expectations. They take an awesome location make it into a even better space brew excellent beer and serve super tasty eats. They're obviously taking their time rolling out of the menu and beer selection but everything was excellent. And their cocktails surprisingly great as well. I have some Mezcal pineapple cocktail with an IPA blend and an oregano joint clipped on the glass Rim. Loved it! Moved on to some beers from there.. batch 1 IPA with my favorite. Flatbread pizza was delicious cinnamon rolls were sweet hot and good, hot wings with Crispy and tasty, garlic bread was superb. I am really looking forward to coming here often and watching them grow. This is going to be one of the best State Street brew and food stops!"

"We enjoyed four different appetizers which included brussel sprouts, beef sliders, rossetto, and some sort of loaded tater tots. They were all very delicious. Our waitress, Kelly, was very knowledgeable and polite. She answered all of our questions. This is a new restaurant on Massachusetts Ave. I will be going back.",
"Michael Miller, the GM, was a generous host. Took the time to explain the extensive wine list. He sure knows what he's talking about! Chose an amazing bottle of wine for the table, a place he visited himself! Our server Madison knew what she was talking about. Very knowledgeable about the menu. We will return. Food was AMAZING!!",
"Went for the soft opening and the food is superb! The waitress suggested 2-3 plates per person since they are shareable so we got 4 plates total between me and my guest. The fried chicken tacos were my favorite from the menu. Tastes like a chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy inside a taco with the fried chicken! We also got the red beet gnocchi, a mushroom risotto, and roasted cauliflower with fried cheese and romesco sauce. For dessert we tried the s'mores skillet and a strawberry cornbread. I have absolutely no complaints. Service was excellent, food was excellent and Al our server was wonderful at pacing the plates and courses. I never felt rushed or that my food got cold or that my table had no room. She also recommended the French 75s as a beverage and we ended up getting more than one each. I definitely will be back. The place was busy so it wasn't the quietest but I could hear my guest just fine. Bathrooms were neat and well kept and the managers invited me to look upstairs also which has beautiful large windows overlooking mass ave.",
"Wow! \n\nYup, review is over and I will leave you one word: wow. \n\nAll jokes aside, I got the chance to attend the soft opening last night and was so thoroughly impressed. From the ambiance, to the servers hospitality, to (most importantly) the food - five stars all around. \n\nI went with a group of six and we got a table right off the host stand with large windows looking our into mass ave. I loved the chairs they have. Like seriously - where are they from? \n\nTo start we had a great server (Oli) she was like and wasn't shy to say she's still learning some things. Which is what a soft opening is for! \n\nI did a wine flight (James Dean) & loved the Malbec A LOT. ended up getting a glass of this later on. \n\nWe started off with the charcuterie board which was my jam! Literally - the pepper jam on the board was to die for. And it had pine nuts!!! A great board. \n\nWe did the cornbread panzanella salad which was tasty and split well between 3 of us. \n\nI did the steak frites, which compared to the other items I tried, may have been my least favorite of the night. Good and flavorful but nothing I was drooling over. \n\nNot like the bite of the fried chicken taco I had. Or if the seared scallops on the fried green tomatoes. \n\nBut lastly - the number one item had to be the beignets. They had chocolate chip cookie dough in the middle & a delicious vanilla bean sauce accompanying them. A must! \n\nAll in all, a delicious meal & I can't wait to go back!",
"Yet another excellent restaurant location for Louvino, which started out in my adopted city of Louisville several years ago. The building this location is in is brand new in an up-and-coming area of Mass Ave, so it may be a little difficult to find given the lack of other businesses around to help navigate. But that will likely change as other businesses move in. Also parking can be an issue during busy times, so plan ahead if you have reservations.\n\nI attended the soft opening on the last evening of it (Saturday). The ambience of the restaurant is very modern, yet homey. The wood accents and creative glass fixtures (see photos) give it a very hip and chic vibe. Our waiter was very informed about the wine and food selections, including suggested pairings. I tried a few of the newer menu items, including the biscuits and jelly (see photos), which were delicious. My favorite menu item is a classic, the fried chicken tacos (also pictured), which are scrumptious! The gravy really accents the chicken and mashed potatoes quite well. I also had the chicken wings, which practically fell off the bone and were very tasty. And I can't forget about the tots...I can't eat at Louvino without ordering the tater tots. The sauce served with those tots really brings out the savory flavors. \n\nOverall I had a great experience as would be expected at a Louvino location. You can really tell the folks working there and the chefs/owners truly put hard work into the wine/food selections and have a passion for creating good experiences for guests. You really can't go wrong with any food or wine selection you make. But definitely try the tots and tacos!",
"This is my new favorite restaurant on Mass Ave. I loved it so much I went two days last week. (And I live 50 miles away!). Service was great,(Jordan), and he was very knowledgeable and helpful in picking out our small plates. It was just me and my husband on the second night and we tried a variety of dishes. The Brussel Sprout Salad was a pleasant surprise! Absolutely fantastic. We then tried the fried chicken tacos, (my husband's personal favorite), and crab/lobster cakes. The hostess recommended we try the biscuits and they were the best I've ever tasted. Light and fluffy and crisp on the outside. The best surprise was the pimento cheese and some type of spicy jelly on the side, made the perfect bite. We were so happy with the dinner that we had to try a dessert and went with the Banana Pudding. OMG!!!! I would swim in a vat of that spectacular goodness. I may go back next time and just order two of these!",
"Well, here we are. Wednesday afternoon thinking about the weekend on another mundane workday. That's when my friend, Basma sends me a message on Microsoft Teams and says \"hey, want to go to LouVino's soft opening Saturday? Everything is 50 percent off.\"\n\nI say \"HELL YEAH, let's go.\"\n\nSaturday night comes around and we have a reservation for six of our closest pals at 9:15. My friend Kirstin and I were a little bit late, get locked out and had a little scare, but once we were in, we were amazed.\n\nMy friend ordered this charcuterie board to share with everyone that came out with different meats and cheese, but interestingly with these pickled vegetables in the middle. It also bread, but I don't like bread so that didn't mean much to me. I \"accidentally\" grabbed all the thinly sliced meat on one corner and ate it. My pals looked at me thinking it was an accident and were laughing explaining to me how to eat off a charcuterie board. I was well aware of what I was doing because I only wanted the meat.\n\nWe had a pretty killer server named Al. She seemed very excited to serve us every time she came to our table and had a great upbeat attitude with some occasional jubilant banter and jokes. Wow, as a person who loves jokes, I think we got on pretty well. Definitely can see us being pals for sure.\n\nWhen Al came to ask us what we wanted to drink from the wine menu, she had us explain things that we usually like. I'm really into those dry, bitter reds and she had me take a tour wine flight with the James Dean and I think the \"Over-the-Rhine\" samples. What I liked about these was there were three different wines with two-ounce pours (would've loved maybe 12 ounces pours, but I'm being crazy) in these little wooden wine glass holders. She came up and explained what each one was and where they were made, where they were from and the flavor profile. I was quite impressed with the knowledge they have on the wines that they pour.\n\nMy friend, Kirstin, got these small fried chicken tacos that looked banging. They had some cheese, gravy and I believe mashed potatoes in them. It was like a next level version of a KFC bowl in a tortilla shell. If I wasn't being so budget aware, I would've bought some for myself because goodness gracious have mercy give it to me Lord.\n\nShe also bought this bottle of Moscato for herself and there was one moment that she tried to pour it herself and Al showed up out of nowhere and said: \"don't you move a muscle, relax, let your hair down and let me pour your wine.\" Kirstin was like \"wow, ok, thank you so much!\" So it really just shows that these people care about their customers and really want you to get into the dining experience.\n\nMy friend, Blake, ordered these steak-frites. I think that is what they were at least, but holy guacamole, these looked divine. It was just a bunch of saucy meat poured on top of these fries that truly looked decadent. He was literally grinning like a possum eating a sweet potato. \n\nThe portions seem smaller, but that's alright. Everything will be very satisfying due to the taste of these menu items and it is expected that you will be drinking wine and eating cheese.\n\nThe environment is very romantic and intimate. So I would definitely say this a place for a date or small intimate gathering. Even though I was there with four others (one of our six didn't make it), I wouldn't recommend a large group. They do have this large long table in the middle of the restaurant that could hold a big group, but maybe this is an opportunity for several smaller groups to get together and get to know each other. \n\nAlso, I found it just absolute jaw-dropping and I really want one for myself, but there is this giant light fixture that almost looks like a soccer ball. It's so geometric, so stunning and quite impeccable. You'll know what I'm talking about once you go in there.\n\nThis is a pricier place, so I would definitely say it's not somewhere that you would frequent all the time. On the other hand, if you're looking to impress around the downtown Indianapolis area, I do believe this is the place you want to come.",
"Great add to the Mass Ave food and beverage line up! A group of us went for the soft opening over the weekend where you can usually expect some kinks or issues during the night but LouVino trained their staff so well it was as if they have been opens for weeks and it was just a regular Friday night for them.\n\nWe were a party of 6 and were seated right away with a reservation. The room they put us in was perfect because it was pretty much a private dining area. We were greeted by our server right away and we ordered wine flights (I got the James Dean) and a charcuterie board to start. The wine flight was amazing but I especially liked the Malbec the best. I added cheese pairings to my flight as well which was a fun way to enhance the wine flight experience.\n\nFor my main meal, there were so many great options but I ended up on the fried green tomatoes with scallops. Such an awesome twist to a very traditional dish. The flavors really worked well together. We also ended up splitting the Panzanella salad which was also delicious. To end the night we got the cookie dough beignets and oh my god were they good! Just like what you would get at the state fair but better! I could have had 4 orders of those! Next time I come back I need to try the s'more pie though because that could become a new favorite.",
"Trying a new place in town. Tapas and an extensive wine and cocktail list. Got the bacon wrapped dates, sliders, duck fat fries, and for dessert the cookie dough beignets. Nothing disappointed. Shout out to Justin, he was awesome. Highly recommended!",
"Very impressed with this new addition to Mass Ave. All plates are shareable and completely delicious. The loaded baked potato tots and Brussels sprouts are definite must-haves! We really enjoyed the crispy salmon and red beet gnocchi as well. Also highly recommend the cookie dough beignets for dessert - you won't be disappointed!"

"OK guys, soft opening tonight. A bit chaotic, as these things tend to be, but great energy. Now. The important part. The food.\nWhere to start? \nThe meat and cheese trays. The meat is slices super thin with really choice selections. And the CHEESE. WOW. I'm on the keto diet so it's utterly perfect for me! \nDon't worry vegan friends, other waxed poetic on how the Vegan Thai BBQ with Jackfruit was divine. I kept eating the seafood, so can't say, myself. Let me recommend the Flash Fried Calamari (a bit of a keto cheat but kept myself to a couple pieces). The breading was light and crisp.and the calamari was TENDER. \nAlso, the Argentinean Red Prawns- floating in a luscious concoction called citrus butter. It wasn't sweet but it was delicious. Also tried the Chili Fired Meat skewers. Very hearty rich taste, a bit more.meaty than I wanted but my husband loved them. I really tried to taste everything I could fit in my stomach. The Miyagi Oysters were fresh and utterly divine. As good as I get in Monterey Bay. They didn't have the ceviche to try tonight, bummer. I also heard the smoked cheddar fondue was pretty great. Didn't have room to try that one.\nI did have a salad. A Lobster, Bacon, Avacado Salad, thank you. I'm so full. I love this place.",
"Fun new place with pretty eclectic menu, good raw bar. We made it for the soft opening and will come back.",
"We live in South Reno and are excited to welcome Zeppelin as a 21 and older bar/restaurant! We checked it out on Friday evening and enjoyed drinks and dinner. I don't think there was an empty seat in the house by the end of our meal! They have very high ceilings, so even though it was busy, it didn't seem very loud. I also like the decor and the bar is huge. They have a full (alcohol) bar with draft and bottled beer, along with a nice selection of wines. Our group shared a variety of menu items, to include the vegan thai bbq (jackfruit) sliders, bently ranch sliders, snapper tacos, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower trio, lobster dip (served hot) and chicken drumetts. They were all very good (I didn't personally try the meat, but the other two vouched for them)! The star for me was definitely the snapper tacos and I love that they were served with a side of lime and crispy radishes. They also have a vegan impossible burger on the dinner menu and that is next on my list to try!! I'm mostly vegetarian, so this menu is awesome, as it has a lot of vegan options. Even though the staff was working out some challenges with their point of sale system (as expected for a new restaurant), you can tell they are happy to be there, and the service was very good. We were also thrilled that the chef came out to say hello. Keep up the good work!",
"What an awesome experience! You have to check this place out!!! They have only been open for a day. The parking is super easy.. lots of room, big chairs and 21 and over ONLY..WHOOP WHOOP!! Just sayin, sometimes peeps need a break from the kiddos, right ladies?!? \n\nThis place is amazing.... plenty of vegetarian, vegan and GF options, which accommodates EVERYONE! I stinking love that. \n\nThere is no gaming, which I love even more... and they have a nice big bar, Craft cocktails and amazing flavor combinations. That's THREE amazing's in a ROW!!! They even have a create your own charcuterie and/or desert plate PEOPLE!! It's very easy to understand and will, without a doubt, please your entire group. \n\nThey are not dinner taking reservations as of yet, ( they are for private parties ) and don't have a happy hour ( I hope that is coming soon ) but regardless we will be back again and again. \n\nOverall our experience was excellent! From being sat to getting our food, it was about 20 min. Most of the staff hadn't even worked a full day yet, so BIG Koodos for knocking it out of the park folks! \n\nOverall, fantastic job !!! ... I'll defiantly be a regular here :)",
"I really enjoyed the concept and the idea of sharing plate. Myself and two of my friends went into zeppelins. We all ordered house cocktails. I love that they are different, fun and unique but our 12$ cocktails were very very small. For food we ordered the fondue, jalapeño dip, portobello sliders and fish tacos. \nThe fondue was a little bland and wish it came with other dipping options other than just bread. The jalapeño dip was good but we definitely needed more chips. We enjoyed the slides after a touch of hot sauce. the tacos were excellent, great flavor and the server recommended this amazing sauce which definitely made the dish. \nAll in all. We enjoyed but the prices were steep for what we got.",
"Great for vegan, gluten free, and carnivores alike!\n\nI think it has potential but has room for improvement. It is designed to be a family style eating experience, with locally sourced ingredients. I think the atmosphere and layout appeared more upscale. The pricing was a little high for certain things. I do think they could do a better job listing how much of each thing is included. For example: I got the Thai vegan sliders, they came with 8, which is fine to share, but too much for me. My husband for the buffalo wings & only got 4 wings. His was listed as shareable between 1-2 people, but it barely fed one. They serve the food as it is easy. Which means my fries came out before my sliders, and all of it came out before our charcuterie appetizer plate. \n\nThe Thai sliders were made of jackfruit which wasn't cooked all the way making it chewy. Similar texture to the tough part of an artichoke leaf. \n\nThe charcuterie plate was super good but can easily cost a fortune. Each item is priced to the right, and you add what you want. The marinated mushrooms were easily the best thing we ate all night, I used the oil to dunk my bread in. \n\nThe menu has a large vegan offering, with options to add meat if wanted. Fries are thick steak fries with hearty thick sea salt, very tasty. Tons of vegan sauces offered also. No vegan dessert. \n\nPhotos aren't great because the lighting is dim, which adds to the ambiance. \n\nI plan to go a few times, as I think it will be phenomenal once they work out a few kinks.",
"My wife and I stopped in here for a drink on our way home one night and we were blown away by the service. When we mentioned we wouldn't be eating, they offered to buy us a couple plates so we could try their new menu. The chef came out and walked us through what we ordered and was extremely friendly. Everyone was in a good mood, was helpful and really made our night great. Really looking forward to having another great option in south Reno!",
"Waited 1 hour for an appetizer and it never came...probably not going back. Too bad, as it had potential.",
"I debated whether to give Zeppelin a four or five-star review, but finally decided on this rating because of the staff and management. It's only been open for a few days so there are some issues that need to be worked out. The food was very well presented but some need a bit more seasoning (salt).\nThe place is beautiful and very welcoming. Speaking to management, they admitted that there is still work to do which I believe is important. I also liked that the plates were meant to be shared. Great for going out with friends. \nOne dish that they knocked out of the ball park was the lamb. Absolutely perfectly cooked. The other dish I loved, as did all four of us was the calamari. Very rarely do you get calamari that tastes as fresh as the ones we got last night. Not rubbery, not overcooked or fishy. We tried three different tacos and all were tasty and well presented. \nWill definitely go back and try more of there very extensive menu. Good job to the owners and management.",
"This is a pretty cool spot. I like the feel and the atmosphere for sure. The food is pretty on point, everything was extremely flavorful. \n\nThe vegan tacos, might have had the most flavor. So delicious. The service was a little so-so the night we went in. Granted they've been open for a week, and we were there on Christmas Eve. But, one of our waiters took food orders for half of the table and then walked away. He came back about 3 minutes later to take the rest of the food orders. I thought that was a bit strange, but nothing that can't be worked out. \n\nThe whole place is huge, I'm not totally sure of the full concept, but it almost looks like you could have a night club in the later hours. \n\nBe prepared for lots of food. When you order sliders you get 8, and when you order tacos I believe you get 8 as well. A side of fries is meant for one person, as it was quite small. But again, delicious. \n\nLooking forward to the future of this spot. Should be pretty cool."

"Wow! I had a chance to sneak in here and try a few quick bites. Tried the hatch chili burger, the beans and refried beans and all were incredible. \n\nThe burger was cooked perfectly, sitting on top of a grilled hatch chili which brought a great Smokey flavor. The burger was topped with cheese and jalapeño peppers which added a great tang and kick. Roll was nicely charred adding even more flavor. \n\nBoth beans were delicious as well. Just as good were the French fries: giant potato wedges seasoned and topped with a little crumbled queso. Just as impressive was the catsup. This is not just something out of the bottle. Has a nice kick and tang making me think they even make their own catsup. Minor detail to some but that shows attention to detail to me! \n\nCan't wait to get back when it isn't lunch during a work day and also check out the bar.",
"Brand new restaurant right next door to Blues Museum with excellent variety of \"Mexican\" classics on the menu - PLUS a few new ones! I had the \"machete\" which is a giant quesadilla with a few more fixin's in it than your normal quesadilla - i.e. wood-fired corn and steak - very tasty but a tad dry - was much better once I put the creamy avocado \"salsa\" on top. Service was excellent and food came out quickly. Had to wait just a minute to be seated since the hostess was also taking all the to-go orders, but I'm sure the staff will iron out those logistical details. Very attentive staff and nice environment - not too cramped and nice and bright. I'll be back as soon as I'm back in town!",
"Got the fish and chicken taco, they are tiny but delicious! The spicy burger had an interesting Mexican flavor, my husband loved it, I did not. Salsa and chips were free for happy hour and delicious!Overall a great experience!",
"This place is excellent! We had a large group that was a little high maintenance, and had a lot of questions and requests. For only being open a few days, this place knocked it out of the park. \n\nI had the machete with the steak, it was great and was the most popular thing on the table. The criticism I would have is that there were more poblano peppers in it than actual meat. It gave it a great flavor with a bit of a kick, but I wanted the steak in it to be more prevalent. \n\nThe pastor tacos were a bit disappointing. Traditionally this is served off a roast spit, and the meat in this taco was shredded. \n\nOther than those, the chips and salsa were delicious and came regularly, and the other items were well liked. Would go back!",
"Ive been anxiously awaiting this place opening after several months. I had a few tacos a la carte during their opening week. The restaurant was extremely busy, but overall the staff kept up as well as they could. Prices are high compared to similar places. The food was great!!!",
"This place was just horrible!!! Nothing good to say about it . The service was horrible the food was horrible super greasy with no flavor.. was worse then Taco Bell !!!",
"Sad excuse for Mexican food ,, bar was out of 2 beers ,, Salas was tomato paste ,, waitress was good but spilled water on one of our party,, spent 200 wasn't worth 50 ,,, sad",
"I stopped in for lunch and tried three different tacos. All three had great flavor and the service was great during a busy lunchtime. Will go back.",
"My best friend and I stopped here for some food and drinks before a concert at the Enterprise Center. We had a few happy hour margaritas (phenomenal) and some chips and salsa while waiting for our food and we were very impressed. Our wonderful waitress, Tia, recommended the pollo machetes and told us the dish was one of her all time favorites. She was quite right! Such amazing food here! The atmosphere is perfect for everyone- after work drinks, family dinner, birthday celebrations- we saw all of these tonight. You've got to stop here for some amazing flavors and fantastic service. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in St. Louis.",
"Visited this past Friday after work for dinner with my BFF. This was my second visit and far better than my first during their first week. Service was great, food was awesome, and prices were reasonable. RC, I'll definitely be back to try new dishes!! And those chips - y'all might consider selling them by the bag to take home!\n\nThe only negative this time was the SA cleaning the table behind us was spraying the cleaning fluid from far above the table instead of onto the cloth - had we been any closer we would also have been sprayed."

"Located in the Ironworks hotel, this upscale brewpub experience is designed to impress. The signature craft beers are all exceptional and the two page menu, while some what limited, has some upper echelon options for comfort food seekers. They brew their own beer in a brewery in Speedway which you can also visit. Famed restauranteur and chef Neal Brown was tapped to develop the inspired offerings. Now is a great time to get to know all of the cool people involved in bringing this to the community. Go check it out.",
"What a great addition to the Ironworks hotel which is already a bustling plaza of upscale restaurants and shops! I would say everyone in the area as familiar with daredevil and their presence in Speedway Indiana. I think I was a fantastic idea to open a beer hall in the Keystone area. We went on Friday night for drinks and it was completely packed. I was surprised since I thought it was a fairly new location. But obviously the name recognition brings in a lot of folks!!! Although we didn't eat the German inspired menu looks quite delicious and will deathly have to come back for food. We sat and got drinks in the bar area at one of those tables on the side. The server seemed quite busy and did not really come to check on us we had to go up to the bar to get drinks, which was fine. The decor in the restaurant is simple but inviting and it's definitely a great place to hang out on the weekend!!!",
"Excited to see a more casual establishment enter the Ironworks neighborhood. A lot of places in this area include expensive Italian and steakhouses. It nice to be able to come here with some friends and have a few local beers and eat bar food. They were very busy and I think everyone who visited was excited for their opening. We got several orders of the pretzel, Kung Pao wings, and poutine. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. The pretzels are hot and soft and I love the little bits of lemon in top, very different. The poutine is a delicious heap of indulgence. I liked the wings but I didn't think they tasted like Kung Pao in any way, maybe just because there were peanuts on top. The sauce was topical, as the wings tasted plain on the inside, decent size though.",
"Welcome to the northside, Daredevil!\n\nLongtime fan of the brews I was anticipating the opening of the hall. Visited opening weekend on a late Saturday afternoon/early evening. Dining as a family it was a pleasant surprise to have fast table chairs available for babies. For a restaurant on an opening weekend they sure seemed to have most things figured out. We were seated quickly, although the crowd had not really formed yet. Seated near the large projection TV was nice for the first half of the IU game. They have a portion just for the taproom as well as a designated restaurant area with varying size of table tops and larger communal tables. Ambiance was as expected for a beer hall and the noise level was very manageable - even while we were leaving and the restaurant was much more filled. \n\nMy only issue was with the timing between the appetizers and main dishes. This seems to happen often at restaurants and if I had to choose between getting my food too quickly or too long, obviously a crowded table of delicious food is much more enjoyable. \n\nWe started with the burrata and kung pao chicken wings. Both were enjoyed. The giardiniera wasn't overly spicy and the toasted bread went nicely with the quantity of burrata. The chicken wings are quickly climbing the ranking for top wings in the city. Crispy but yet oh so juicy! Can't wait to try their spice level of their hot wings next.\n\nWith so many classics available choosing what to have is difficult. Definitely will require multiple visits. This time we went with a Guadalajara dog and the fried noodle spaetzle. The dog was flavorful but could use a little more of the pickled chiles given the overly large bun. The dog came with some great fries that were nearly all crispy with a good potato ratio. The spaetzle is an interesting dish as this was new for both of us - looking forward to trying the braised oxtail next.\n\nMultiple beer tastings, which also come in flight options, rounds out the evening nicely. \n\nChecks are paid at the table with the server's handheld device making it a quick check out process.\n\nA great addition to the neighborhood and looking forward to dining here again.",
"Every single time I've driven by Ironworks I would sneak a peek at the progress of this joint. I have been crazy excited to see them have an outpost on this side of town. So, was it worth the wait? Well, look at all 5 of those stars, blaring red and white. Daredevil's daring new hall boasts all of the DD staples but also brings along a unique menu that crafts meals to die for. I had the burger and it was outta this world. We also started with the cauliflower hummus which was also strong. The service matched the food, it was great.",
"Mmmmmmm!!! Just thinking about my meal here makes my mouth water! \n\nI came with my best foodie friend and we went to town. We gad the Kung pao wings, poutine fries and the burger with pimento type cheese oozing out of the middle. \n\nThe wings had delicious flavor and the sauce that came with them was great! The poutine fries were super tasty and definitely big enough to share. The burger was my favorite! It was seasoned perfectly and had these incredible crispy edges. And that cheese oozing out of the middle? Perfection! \n\nThere is so much more to try and they pair everything with a beer. Awesome addition to the Iron Works hotel.",
"This brewery does things right. Sure, they make great beers, but they also add the things that make the customer experience better. First, they have regular hours so that you don't have to memorize which day of the week it is to know if you can stop by. They open at 11 so you have a choice of stopping before dinner or after, or in this case, stop for dinner.\nYes, they have a nice menu of sandwiches, spaetzle, poutines, sausage, and shareable appetizers to take care of your hunger.\n\nThe service was attentive and seemed well trained in using their electronic ordering tablet so that they don't have to rely on memory alone. Also, your credit card is processed at your table, not back in some obscure place.\n\nI ordered a flight of four ounce beers. They have a rack for holding four selections, but since each beer is priced separately, you can get as many or as few as you like. I went with five and found all them quite good! I started with a Rauchbier (5.5% 25 IBU) which was a smoky German Style lager. I then had the Negra Mexican Dunkel (5.4%, 20) which was smooth and refreshing after the Rauchbier. Next was the JWP American Stout (8.2%, 65) that had a chocolate espresso flavor. I moved on to the Vacation Kolsch (5%, 20) that tasted very light but still flavorful even after the stout. I finished off with the NEX #7 Hazy IPA (8%, 80) which was full of hoppy flavor. All were good to great!\n\nThe food was also very good. I started with the crispy Brussels Sprouts which are grilled with cherries, and add melted pecorino cheese and whole seed mustard for a bit of acidity.\n\nI also enjoyed the Brewer Steak Sandwich with unseasoned frites (they have salt, pepper, and ketchup at the table). The steak was sliced into bite sized bits and had a nice char for flavor. It was garnished with a bit of lettuce, onion jam, horseradish aioli, and diced cornichons (sweet pickle). I couldn't help but think of the flavor reminding me of a really great chargrilled burger but with the texture of a Philly steak. Pleasantly surprising! The frites were cooked properly, but definitely needed the seasonings/condiments to perk them up.\n\nService was pleasant and kept my empty glasses/dishes removed. Everyone was in an upbeat mood which you would hope for a new business. \n\nOverall, a very positive experience and a place all new and competing breweries should be aware of. This was five star all the way!\n\nReview #2161",
"If not for the rudeness of Avery P I would give this new venue 5 stars. First, the good. Beer is great and varied. We had the Kung Pao wings and the brewskie juicy burger which comes with the pomme frites. Wings were cooked to perfection and full of spicy flavorful sauce. The burger was juicy and oozing with pub cheese between 2 5 oz patties with homemade pickles! Fabulous flavor. Now back to the server...when my friend inquired about the meat of the hot dogs, Avery had no idea and didn't bother to offer to check with someone. Then we asked if any sauce came with the fries (as several are listed on the menu) she said \"well you didn't ask for any. \" \nAfter the shift change, we asked the new server about the meats and he knew which was made of veal, beef, etc. We enjoyed our visit and experience and will return eager to try the varied menu!",
"We went on Friday night to check out another new Brewhouse. I will prelude with saying that they have only been open for a couple weeks and have a few kinks to work out. But onto the review: the area they are in is a great location. You get all different types of foods and experiences in the complex. It is very swanky. the bar was full so we took a table and got sat right away. Our server, Michelle, was awesome. The only downside was she recommended the Kung pao wings. Then came back five minutes later to tell me that they were out. Probably wasn't her fault, cause the kitchen should 86 it on the PLC. Another fault was the food/beer runner sat beers down without telling us which was which (pet peeve I guess). Also, the beers were not topped off. That means that they gave short pour, or they sat so long that the head had diminished, leaving a less than full beer when it got delivered. ( not Michelle's fault). And for some reason, this huge blank white wall in the dining area was bothering me. The place needs some decor of some sort. I didn't know I cared about decor until there is a huge lack of it. 3/5 for now but I'm\nSure they will 5/5 in a few months.",
"The beer was great, but the food....awful. The pretzels weren't hot, the beer cheese dip was room temperature, the oxtail spaetzle had zero flavor. The staff was super nice and apologetic when we had to send back a burger, but we definitely will not be back for food."

"We were invited to attend a closed event for Facebook Fans for the new Franklin Burger Company. It is located next to Sopapilla's at the corner of Franklin Road and Moore's Lane and is owned by the same owners. I will give you my first impressions with the disclaimer that this was a SOFT opening so obviously, there are going to be some things that need to be improved upon.\n PROS:\n*Our server was very pleasant and made us feel very welcome. The decor is nice and they have a very large tv screen which was playing college football.\n*Our event included a complimentary appetizer. We ordered the nachos. They were good and had quite a bit of meat on them but if I was paying the $10 for them - I think I would have been disappointed.\n* Both of our burgers came with fries. I had the sweet potato fries and my husband had the regular and both were very, very good.\n* The flavor of both of our burgers was excellent due to the high-quality meat that is used.\n* The owner was present and seemed to be greeting people she knew. She did not stop by our table though. \n* The house sauce that comes on some of the burgers is really good. It is ranch based with green chiles and had good flavor that I also liked on my sweet potato fries.\nAREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:\n* Temperature of Meat Limited Choices: Our server informed us that there are only two choices when ordering a burger \"due to the high-quality of the meat\". You can have it rare or well-done. There is no in between. My husband wanted his cooked medium, Our server was excellent and told us he would make a request to that effect. Both of our burgers came out well-done. I can understand if all burgers are cooked to one temperature but to say there are only two choices seemed a bit odd. \n*Size of Burger: While the overall flavor of both burgers was good. Both actual patties of beef were VERY small. It was so small that the toppings completely overshadowed the burger. My Burger Si was $15 so for it to APPEAR to be about 1/4 pound patty, I was disappointed. Hopefully, this was just part of the pre-opening issues and they will correct this. \n\nOverall, I think many people will try Franklin Burger Company due to the local appeal. Hopefully, they will make the portion improvements to help garner greater customer satisfaction.",
"There have been a couple of places in Franklin to get a quality burger. One, is out of business. This is the other. First visit and my sweetie who typicality quite picky about her order was pleased. Pleased is a very high honor. I will be back. The meat was full of flavor and I highly recommend the blueberry ketchup!! Must check it out!!",
"I'm loving Franklin Burger Co!! 2nd time here and food is outstanding! It's located right next door to Sopapillas (another fav) and offers some tongue-stretching choices and combos you won't find anywhere else. Steve and Emily Dale (the gracious hosts and owners) agonized over the menu choices and it's worth the ride to taste the results!! The Green Chili Cheeseburger will likely be my fav, but I'm willing to try them all- strictly in the name of science of course!!",
"I can't believe this place has only been open a week! We had amazing service and 6 different burgers with 6 thumbs up! The atmosphere is upscale, great vibe bar scene! I personally had the yummy Bear Creek Burger with mango salsa, brie and caramelized onions! It was cooked to a perfect medium and soooo good! Our sever Dustin was fun and attentive. Plus the amazing hostess Rachel kept a check on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal. She was the sweetest! Can't wait to return!",
"Stopped in for a quick bite during a road trip. Worth the 2 miles from the interstate. Ate at the bar and Josh was pleasant and attentive. Bison burger sans bun and sweet potatoes fries were great. House made blueberry ketchup was nice. Everyone was friendly. I'll be back when in the area.",
"They have great burgers and ice cold beers. The staff is knowledgable and has great recommendations. My only issue is Google maps took me to someone's appartment",
"This is my new favorite place to eat. Dropped in today. We chose to sit at the bar to catch part of the Titans game. FYI several screens around, so you won't miss a play. The bartender \"Chris\" was great and had several good recommendations. I went with the Avocado Burger, it was awesome! You will not leave here hungry!",
"Local sourced food. Excellent service and the burgers were delicious. I had the Franklin burger and my husband had the green chili burger. The homemade chipotle ketchup is great.",
"This is a new restaurant from the same folks who brought us Sopapillas and it is located next door to the Franklin location. Being a fan of Sopapillas and a lover of a good burger I was pretty excited. Pleased to say I was not disappointed.\nMet some friends last night and even on a Tuesday eve it was pretty full though we were seated with not much wait. Space is nice and would be a fun spot to watch any \"big games\" as there is a huge TV along with several smaller ones for viewing.\nStaff is attentive and friendly. We started with the fried pickle spears. They were good, with a little kick to them too! There is a nice beverage menu, including a good sampling of draft beers (IMO - you need to pair a good draft with a good burger). I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, nice and cold. A great choice on a winter eve. \nSo many enticing choices in the burgers! I landed on the Bear Creek Burger - mango salsa, brie, bacon, carmelized onions - yes, hits all the right notes. Stayed mainstream and went with the fries. Great fries, thin, cooked to just enough crispiness without crossing in to burnt. Others affirmed their burgers were also great.\nWhen I return (and yes, already making plans for that!) I am going to give the Blueberry Bacon Burger a try. I don't normally like Bluecheese but two of my dining mates advised it is fabulous and not too blue cheesey, I'm intrigued!\nBurgers aren't cheap here, but this is more than a fast food burger and makes for a great evening of great food!",
"Our new favorite burger spot!!! Everything is so fresh and delicious. I had the Duke with sweet potato fries, my husband had the Spicy Hawaiian with regular fries and we had the okra appetizer. It was all fantastic!"

"First Watch opened on Monday and it seems they've been busy since their doors were unlocked. \n\nMy Beau lives literally around the corner, so we've been waiting with fascination as we watched the eatery being built from the ground up, so when I stayed over the other night and headed home in the morning, I stopped in for breakfast. \n\nI was seated immediately. Inside is rustic but lovely, with lots of wood and metal decor. Reminiscent of farmhouse, but not quite. It smells good. \n\nTheir menu isn't one I was familiar with, lots of whole grain and other things, but I found what I was looking for and ordered their Old Fashioned breakfast with Eggs, bacon and a belgain waffle, and a pot of coffee. \n\nThe coffee was strong, and the table side creamer had seasonal PUMPKIN SPICE creamer in it as well as my prefered half/half. Breakfast came out in 10 minutes or a little more, the place was busy, after all and it was good. The bacon was well done and crispy, the eggs were as I ordered and the waffle was light and airy, with a side of fruit compote to go on top. I didn't think to ask for maple syrup. \n\nWould I eat here again? Yes.",
"Not bad. Food was pretty good. A bit loud and echo-y for me for breakfast place. Worth trying. Maybe nice for you, just not for me. I like a \"warmer\" atmosphere for breakfast.",
"If you're looking for the top-of-the-line quality breakfast, service and staff you need to go to First Watch in Oldsmar which recently opened in the last month. Weekends are a bit hectic so make sure you use your no way. I'm sure you will enjoy your trip",
"My first time going there and I go twice in one week my sister is in love with the avocado toast and I'm all about trying different things. I stuck with two different hash meals and both were so freaking good! The only thing that would make this place even better would be mimosas. But I'll take that candied bacon in exchange. Keep up the good work!",
"I need for this First Watch to get it together.\n\nI LOVE First Watch and was so happy when I saw this one break ground several months ago. When it opened we came out about a week later to give it some time to work out kinks. Unfortunately there were a lot of kinks when it came to the staff. We weren't exactly sure who our server was as we had to keep flagging people down for things. We chalked it up to being brand new. \n\nWell, my step kids came to visit during Thanksgiving week and we decided to come in on a weekday morning. The place wasn't busy at all, but the servers just didn't have it together. Most of the silverware was dirty when we unwrapped them from the napkins. How can a place only one month old have dirty silverware? Our server took forever to come to our table to get our drink orders. She did and then forgot to bring the customary water...I needed my water to clean my silverware. I asked for extra napkins and she never brought them. I asked for her to bring water and it took us the flagging down of a Manager, who by the way wasn't visiting tables but flying by instead, before she brought water. Our food was run out by other servers and I immediately noticed that we were getting way too many potatoes. Turns out some of the kids wanted potatoes in place of eggs, but the server failed to state that the meal already came with potatoes to give them another option besides too many potatoes. \n\nUnfortunately the cooks aren't as good at this location either. The potatoes are usually consistent at every First Watch I've been to, but they weren't cooked to the same perfection here. 2 of the kids ordered the on special Cinnamon Chip pancakes. I ordered a savory breakfast sandwich, but somehow I tasted cinnamon on my meat. \n\nThis location is so close to home. I just need them to hire new staff or train the staff or something so that I won't feel like I need to drive to Clearwater or Carrollwood to have the First Watch I'm accustomed to. I'll definitely be back...I guess I'll give it a few months. Hopefully next year I can raise the stars.",
"I have been driving by since their construction days and decided to stop by today. \nThere was a good amount of customers for a Thursday at 9:30 in the morning. We were seated as soon as we walked in. Cute little place , I loved the decor and liked how i could see the kitchen from my booth. The menu, it's sort of in a paragraph form. I don't want to feel like I am reading the paper while trying to order some breakfast to be honest. I ended up ordering the biscuits and Turkey gravy which was delicious, it also came with eggs and potatoes. The biscuits or should I say one full biscuit plus a half of biscuit (like come on give me the other half for damn sakes) were smothered in that delicious gravy. My man ordered the Belgium waffle that came with bacon and eggs. The waffle light and fluffy (good) and the bacon was barely there...but this isn't Kekes anyways. Overall, would I come back? Yeah. Oh and the coffee was actually kinda (kinda) strong so that's a plus.",
"I love this location! They always open the door with a smile when I walk up. The food is amazing. They even have gluten free toast! Service is friendly and quick. I will keep coming back.",
"After a Yelp event at another location I had to visit First Watch again. Let's see let me start with little facts know one might know.\n\nFirst Watch serve the restaurant's new Project Sunrise coffee, grown by an independent group of female farmers in Huila, Colombia, called Mujeres en Café.\n\nHow did this restaurant get its name? Since the majority of the people who visit First Watch are not sailors, pirates or sea-farin' scallywags, well First Watch is a nautical term that refers to the very first shift of the day. It is a Cafe chain for health-minded with breakfast, brunch & lunch options such as omelets, pancakes, salads and soups.\n\nThe Avocado Toast is my favorite (The Avocado Toast was served with thick-cut whole grain toast topped with fresh smashed avocado and I got 2 eggs over-easy to go with it), followed by the Bistro Steak Hash, and then the Pancakes.\n\nFirst Watch pride themselves with Healthy, flavorful menu items include house-made granola, pico de gallo, organic greens, house-roasted vegetables and cage-free eggs. There are also traditional favorites such as omelets, pancakes, sandwiches, salads and soups. \n\nI love the new design of the interior - very open feel.\n\nI highly recommend. I also found out First Watch has an app so you do not have to have a long wait so it's like calling ahead ;)",
"Food was great but both times I ate here but service is very slow. The 1st time was after lunch and I got my food before she ever brought my ice tea which still took awhile. Second time was at breakfast and i had to ask for someone to take my order. Food quality is excellent but service definitely needs improvement.",
"Very good service. Food was delicious as always and the waitress was on it. I will definitely be coming back to this location."

"So happy that we have another great restaurant in the Goleta area!!! Where do we start, so my friend and I decide to stop and grab an early lunch, it was actually early as in 11:30! We walked in, girl super friendly at the door, asked if we wanted outside seating, we took our seat. Soon after they got our menu to us. Then waiter came to see about our drink order, and eventually we were ready for our food order after taking a while to decide, too many things that sound yummy!! We decided to each have a smaller dish and then share the zucchini blossom quesadilla! I had the ahí tuna tostada and she had the tlacoyo, a corn cake topped with veggies. They were all so good and actually plenty of food, we were should we say satisfied (stuffed) at the end. No room at all for dessert, but I'm sure it would have been amazing. Service was top notched, food was so good, all in all a great experience. Can't wait to go back, I already even know what I'll order next time!! Oh almost forgot, there's this super yummy nopales salsa, beans and tostadas that you get at the beginning instead of chips. So good!!",
"This will be your new favorite Mexican restaurant. I'm saying that because it's a notch or two better than the rest!\nIt's new, it's different, great service and the food will make you come back for more. \nThey're still working on the \"atmosphere\" like the painting and finishing touches, but it's really the food that's the stand out, am I right?\nThey also have special little deals for every day of the week. Ex: Monday- pick winning team get a gift certificate for your next visit. My favorite is Wednesday : during your birthday month, you get a free meal every Wednesday ( ID required)\nTry the fried mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. It'll be the best, most creative ones you've ever had, trust me. The main courses were delish. I always get the Chile Relleno Just to taste the difference in each restaurant. This place has the best tasting, with the best presentation.\nReally great food !",
"Los Agaves does it again! Tried Vicentas today for the first time and the food was great. Menu offered different options than the Los Agaves with a casual sit down atmosphere. Vicentas had high quality food that is reasonably priced with a unique flavorful taste. I am going back soon!",
"When the owner, Daniel, takes the time to import blocks of authentic mole from Puebla, there is a sense that this is not just an ordinary place or an ordinary meal. Fantastic decor and service. A welcome addition to Goleta and Santa Barbara. So many in the US think of Mexican food as simply burritos and tacos, but in truth, there is so much more. Outstanding regional Mexican cuisine... worth a visit! Try the house special margarita!",
"I was here yesterday after hearing that they had just opened. I was pleasantly surprised!! The presentation was great!! I tried the green enchiladas. They were a bit too salty for my preference, but they were still enjoyable! The rice and beans were both fantastic! The rice was nice and fluffy and the beans were just amazing. I also tried the tacos el gobernador and these were my favorite!!! The handmade tortilla was made perfectly. The flavors all came together well. The avocado salsa also added a nice touch. Finally, I also tried the elote. Super fancy way of serving, which was fun!! \nOur server, Justin, was super attentive the whole time and was super nice! Overall, can't wait to come back and try some new stuff!!",
"This place is amazing. From the presentation of the food, the taste, and the customer service! Our server, Tessa, welcomed our table with a great smile and attitude. The staff was more than accommodating and felt like this place has been open forever! The main dishes were delicious, especially the ending delight, the Churros and flan!! Will definitely come back!",
"What a great afternoon delight. \nStopped by VICENTAS after reading that this Mexican cuisine restaurant had finally opened for service. \nDottie and I were introduced to the menu by Luis. His service and support in selecting just the right delicacies were monumental.\n\n Dottie favorite Mexican meal is Chile Relleno served with red rice and black beans. Filled with gouda' served hot and well prepared.\n We shared a helping of freshly made guacamole. Large enough to take home the leftovers for snacks while watching Family Feud.\n\nI decided to try the Enchiladas Verdes; excellent verde sauce with Mexican rice and beans. What a fantastic meal; with enought leftover to enjoy for lunch tomorrow.\nManager Lindsay runs a well oiled machine that guarantees fresh food well prepared on your table quickly and properly. \n\nTry this new place out. Well located in the Marketplace Center near the other Restaurants. The best of the bunch. We have eaten at all of them and are happy to have another taste bud buster.\n\nThank you Luis and Lindsay for a great delightful experience!!",
"We had a perfect dinner at Vicenta's and the service was the best I've had! Erick was the sweetest server and made our experience incredible we will be back!",
"I came in because I heard it was a new restaurant by the Los Agaves team so the bar was already pretty high as far as my expectations but this place didn't disappoint. The food is really great lots of delicious options, the queso fundio with chorizo was my favorite. Our server Eric was on point with recommendations he recommended the elote on a stick, loved it",
"Vicenta's food service and ambience were amazing tonight. I had elote típico as an entre and it was delicious. As a main dish I had camarones al tequila. I recommend both of this dishes, they were great. Our server was Justin, he was very nice and attentive, he fulfilled all of our requests with a huge smile. I am giving 5 starts to this place because yelp doesn't let me do 6 stars. I highly recommend vicenta's if you want to eat something delicious."

"Wow... this place is amazing! Started off with 3 appetizer steak Modega Flat bread was my favorite. But all of them I would order again.. Had steak and the Fresh Catch. Steak was on point cooked to perfection. And the salmon had this sauce that was out of this world. Great drinks with an atmosphere to match. Will be back.",
"Great food and great service. Must visit new restaurant on the hill. Great job to the new owners. Food is awesome",
"AMAZING food and great service!!! Definitely a must visit! They have a fantastic happy hour also- yummy drinks! You will love it!!!!",
"There were some good things and some not so good things on my first visit here. I'm always super excited about any new place opening in my neighborhood. I know that The Hill is known for Italian food but I like to have walkable options beyond old school Italian-American that hasn't changed in thirty years. So a steakhouse taking over the old Modesto space was exciting. The service was great! We sat at the bar and had good interactions with the bartender. She made a couple of good cocktails and was appropriately attentive. \nWe had the spicy cheese balls for an appetizer. They were as expected. Pepper jack cheese breaded and deep fried. Hard to go wrong. Then came our steaks. I ordered a strip steak medium rare. It came out medium well. I did not say anything to the bartender because I'm too midwestern nice to send back a steak. But I was disappointed. Regardless of the temperature of the meat, it didn't seem like the best quality of beef, especially for the price, which was $26. My husband's filet, which should have been medium, also came out medium well. But he was not as upset about that as me. Both of our sides were fine. Nothing earth shattering. \n\nAll in all, it was a perfectly mediocre dinner. While I admit that it is impossible for a restaurant to fix something they haven't been told about, I expect a steakhouse to know how to cook steaks to the requested temperature at the very least. That being said, I'll probably go back and try some of the other options on the menu like a risotto that looked promising but I likely won't get another steak.",
"This is a charming new addition the the St. Louis Hill neighborhood and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavy hitters like classic Italian Gittos and tapas-centric Guido's. The Steak Modiga Flatbread is a perfect starter to excite your palate and pair with their Cucumber Martini. The medium-rare filet had a perfect warm, pink center and i topped it with a Signature wine reduction butter melted over top to finish it and pair exactly with a HIP Cabernet (from The Sagemoor Farms Vineyard in the Columbia Valley, WA and supplied by Bommarito Wines). A great date, meet up, or celebration locale without the dark visage of most upper crust Hill restaurants.",
"Can't wait to go back!!! We were a table of 4 & everyone's meal was delish. Started off with toasted ravs & deep fried provel/rice balls both served with marinara. So good! Two of us ordered the fish of the day which was salmon. Cooked to perfection drizzled with a special cream sauce. It was served with the vegetable of the day. A combination of zucchini, squash, & tomatoes. The veggies were sautéed to perfection! It looked & tasted so fresh! I want to go back just for the veggies! The hubby ordered a ribeye with garlic butter. He said it was excellent & cooked just how he ordered it, medium. The other ordered dish was the shrimp pasta scampi. My friend said it was very good but it did have a kick to it. She didn't mind the spice but it you were sensitive to spice, you might mention that when ordering. I did order 2 special $9 cocktail drinks which were okay. I wanted a mojito but they didn't have it. So I settled with a blackberry mojito. Ehhh not worth the price. I am looking forward to returning to this neighborhood gem. What a great addition to the hill. BTW it was a casual dining place. So stop on by before or after a Cardinal or Blues game.",
"What a great addition to the hill!!! Took my family here on a Saturday night and found the food to be perfectly prepared, super flavorful, seasoned right, and not the run-of-the-mill fair you find on the hill (which wouldn't be a bad thing). The service was great, exactly what you would expect from a top-notch restaurant on the hill. It's not often that I comment on a house salad, but oh my gosh get it! Three of us had sirloin's that were cooked just right tasted great and we're plussed up by the butters. Try them all, you will not regret it!!! We like them all but for us to stand out was the Worcestershire. For sides we had fries and the fresh veggies and salads which were great.One of my girls had a flat bread that they custom made for her and when she figured out that she didn't like balsamic they made another one. \nIf you have one of those friends or family members that when you go to their house you know your going to get good food because they can just cook for some reason... This is that place in feel and food. Will be back for sure!",
"We went to Carnivore for their taco Tuesday happy hour and ended up ordering just about everything on the menu. The margarita of the day was a champagne strawberry margarita and my boyfriend and I tried both the steak and chicken tacos. Our table got the steak modega flatbread, french fries (which were the best I've ever had in my life-- and I LOVE french fries), and the arancini for appetizers. We also couldn't decide between trying the cheesecake or the chocolate cake, so we got both Everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back!",
"Everything about Carnivore is great, from the atmosphere to the food and cocktails...especially for the price!!",
"The steaks are grilled to perfection, the service was prompt, very helpful and friendly. We will definitely return. Great addition to The Hill neighborhood and it's history of fine dining."

"This place is beautiful, modern and full of amazing and yummy vegan friendly food! Nice selection of tea and finally a restaurant with kombucha!!!! Love it here!",
"Greeted with no less than 10 smiles right in the door welcoming me instantly. Day 1's can be a little scary as things get worked out in a new restaurant... not for this team though. They already felt friendly, educated on the menu, and seasoned in service. I was walked through the process of ordering and schooled on different choices throughout. I'm already stoked to return to try another menu choice too!\n\nI went with the OG bowl and tried the noodles instead of the rice and they gave it a \"superfood\" quality to the meal. OMGOODNESS does it taste fresh!!! The perfect crunch of the noodle, the freshness of the nori, the fish, the ripe avocado... I have zero negatives to share. I'm being completely honest. \n\nI live a block away and am so excited that this is so close by. What a perfect healthy and fresh option. \n\nIf you're curious, give it an honest go and I would wager you find similar service and quality in your meal. \n\nGood Vibes Only My Friends... Good Vibes Indeed!",
"I came here on the first day they were open, and found myself RIGHT BACK on day 2! My wife and I were craving the bowls so badly that we had to return for more. The fish, produce, and ingredients are the freshest of any poke restaurant I've ever been in to. \n\nThe ambiance is truly breathtaking and vibrant for a fast casual concept. It's so bright, yet inviting! (Just like the food)\n\nI've yet to experience service like we experienced when we were there. SO MANY SMILES! \n\nThis team has done an amazing job, and I'd highly recommend anyone in the area to visit. You won't be disappointed!",
"Great Place!! Food is very fresh and delicious, the restaurant is bright and well done, and the service is fantastic.",
"What a great idea. The ring of Fire knocked my socks off! Busy, but the line went quick. I will be back.",
"Wow. First off, the employees are incredible. There is nothing like a group of smiling people to welcome you in with a big \"ALOHA!\". First impressions can make or break the experiences and they really made us feel welcome. \n\nIngredients were fresh and delicious. I had the Ring of Fire bowl with Fire Water on the side. That was the best decision I made all night. Holy hell. That stuff is HOT. My other half built a bowl with spicy salmon and spicy tuna with lots of yummy veggies and the wasabi sauce. We shared the spicy edamame that was really good! Half way through my bowl I stopped for a Dole Whip because my mouth was quite frankly on fire. It was all amazing. We will be frequent visitors!",
"YUM! Where do I start with this place? Everyone who works there is super friendly and helpful. The food was awesome - fresh fish and veggies and the counter sauce was actually spicy and delicious! Definitely the best poké I've had and this includes places on the west coast. Prices are reasonable and I was feeling pretty full after scarfing down my bowl. Restaurants usually take a few weeks to iron out the kinks after opening but this place nailed it. I'll be back very soon!",
"I'm so happy to give this a great review! We went here for the first time in the evening and were greeted with a hello when we walked in the door. There was no line which was awesome and I love the ability to customize the bowl to my preference. I got half brown rice and half salad with half tuna and half spicy tuna. The spicy tuna was delicious! They both were fresh and tender but the spicy had the little extra kick. I put edamame on mine and seaweed salad with some avocado. They let me try a bit of the different sauces to see which one I liked best and the citrus one won out! She mixed it all together for me too. It's 12 dollars for a bowl and well worth it. Another employee even went above and beyond to take a picture of us outside through the window. \nIt was a great experience and we will definitely come back when we want fresh seafood. So happy it's so close!",
"We stopped her while doing the St Pete Art Walk. The bowls were delicious and the Sake slushy was so good. The staff was very friendly and fast. We will definitely be back.",
"Before you go to the counter read the menu! Know what you are doing so you don't make the same mistake I did. Create your own and not really digging it. Imagine creating your own sushi roll. If I dad read the menu I would have picked land and sea! \n\nI feel I am at Venice beach California which is a very cool place. Ingredients are fresh and lots of choices. The negative is that they were out of noodles which is what I really wanted!\n\nI am definitely going to come back! \n\nWhat made this even a bigger wow is that I was asked how everything was and told him the mistake I made and he said let me make o e for you to take home! Wow!!!"

"As with all restaurants there is going to be a break in period to allow the kitchen and staff to get into a groove. The owners are the same owners as Yuno Sushi, and it is a very popular place to eat, so I expect Ozeki to be no different. I did however get to try their Pho Beef tonight, and although it was extremely salty, the flavor of the broth was delicious. I anticipate with time the broth will be adjusted. I look forward to eating here many times, and I will update my review once they've had time to get into a groove.",
"I agree with the first reviewer that new establishments may take time to get their act together. However, I think they should have taken more time to properly train their kitchen staff as well as the server staff prior to opening their doors to the public. Service was very, very slow.\n\nOur first visit was several nights ago. My father-in-law and my wife wanted to try the new spot. We were seated and our waiter was a young man. My wife and her Dad each ordered a beer. The waiter brought two bottles out, plopped them on the table and walked away. I got his attention and asked for glasses for the two beers. He brought back two large, red tumblers full of ice. I said we did not want ice, we just wanted glasses for the beers. I said, \"Can you please dump the ice.\" A blank stare ensued. Then I requested glass beer glasses. He said they did not have glass glasses. Meanwhile, I'm looking at a table a few down from ours and the couple was drinking two beers from glass beer glasses. When I brought this to the waiter's attention, he seemed dazed and confused. That was it for my father-in-law. He got up out of his chair and headed for the door. My wife and I got up and followed him out. \n\nI tried it for the second time today. A buddy of mine had a hankering for Pho soup so we went there for lunch. It was not a good experience. We arrived at 11:30 and were seated. After waiting about 45-minutes for our soup, we questioned the manager and she brought us out two small salads to keep us busy. We then waited another 15-minutes or so for our Pho soup. After over an hour, we gave up and left. Just prior to us leaving, the \"manager\" brought out two small plates with bean sprouts and a tiny bit of wilted Basil for our Pho (see photo). I have eaten at many Vietnamese restaurants and the beautiful part of Vietnamese food is the freshness of the green ingredients. When a restaurant kitchen sends out wilted, sorry looking greens, delivered by the \"manager\" it makes you wonder about the things in the kitchen you can't see. That was the final straw. We walked out...again. As we left, I caught the eye of the waiter from the previous visit. He remembered me and did not give me a friendly look. \n\nI hope for the owner's sake, they do iron out the wrinkles. If you decide to go I hope you have a pleasant experience. I am going to give them another six-months or so before returning for another try. It would be nice to have a Thai bistro in town that serves good, fresh food in a reasonable amount of time. Until then, it's Thida Thai in Smyrna. Always good.",
"Poor service and the food is not that great, too salty.. I'm very disappointed !!",
"This restaurant needs a lot of help! Maybe in time it will get better, but for now it is far from being a fair to good restaurant. \n\nThe service is terrible. We watched as people sat down after us, get served and ate all before our meal was served. After 1 hour of waiting we finally got our food. \n\nDue to the extremely long wait time for food, they should also consider appetizers, at least that way you can eat something as you wonder why they can not prepare your food....\n\nIf you have a favorite Thai/Asian dining spot, stay with it. You'll save yourself the aggravation.",
"Yes, the service needs a lot of work. Once we were seated in the correct location and a server was identified the service was better. It is odd that they have two different menus one for hibachi and another separate one and you can only order from one of the menus depending on where you are sitting. However, once that is figured out service was better. We did almost leave because it was a slow start but we are glad we didn't. The food was great and the service improved. We will be back but hope the kinks are worked out before then.",
"We are happy to have more restaurant choices in Nolensville...and with some healthy options! Overall the food was quite good and service was fairly quick. We had the Pineapple Fried Rice (delicious) and Pad Thai (good flavor, but a little dry). Yes, they're still working out the kinks...but they were very upfront about their shortcomings during this soft opening. They are also expanding their menu options. Kudos to this small business! We see delicious potential in Ozeki. Sushi will be added soon...we'll be back for that and the pho.",
"This is the absolute best Thai anywhere near Nashville! Service was excellent! Pad Thai, red curry, and pineapple fried rice was delicious and authentic! Highly recommend!",
"Updated Review: I'm bumping up the stars for this review as I've had a chance to eat here a second time and this experience was great! I ordered the Pad Thai and Red Curry, both with shrimp and spice level 3. The Pad Thai was delicious and carried a really good heat. I've never had curry before, but it's not bad. Not my favorite as it's too sweet for me. I will provide another update when I have a chance to try the hibachi, and retry the Pho.",
"I was very excited about a Thai joint opening in Nolensville because I'm a huge fan of Thai. I am sorry to say I was very disappointed. If you're going to have Thai in a restaurant name, your Pad Thai better be slamming. \nIt was not. Certainly not up to par with Umami in Lenox Village, Thida Thai in Smyrna or Jasmine in Cool Springs. So if you want good Thai you're still going to have to drive. I will say I did not try the hibachi, so my review does not include that.",
"I was ecstatic to hear a Thai place was coming in. I ordered two dishes for take out. During a low volume period (Saturday lunch) it took 30 minutes. It's the worst Thai food that I've ever had. \n\nChicken Basil - the chicken tasted as if it was boiled in water and then sliced. It was 100% bland. The flavor of the whole dish was also bland. It just tasted like boiled chicken with a hint to Sriracha sauce. Usually, if the dish is named something, it would have the ingredient: there wasn't any basil in this dish. Complete let down. On a positive note, I asked for it medium in spice & it was perfect in that regard. \n\nLow Mein - I asked for 0 spice. As seen in the pic, it had diced Thai peppers all in it. My wife can't take any heat and she couldn't eat her dish bc of it so I ate some of it. It had the same boiled chicken. I like ginger but this dish should really just be called ginger noodles as the amount of ginger in it, made your eyes pop. It's the weirdest Low Mein dish I've ever had & I have lived in Asia. \n\nI will go back, it has huge potential. The hibachi food looked great so that will be my next try. I will not order Thai here. I wish them good luck. I hear they are the same owners as Yuno but that maybe a rumor. We love Yuno so we had hoped they would have been on their same level."

"No question the best charbroiled oysters in Tampa! In addition to the charbroiled, we also had the oyster street tacos which were out of this world. To top it off, we also had the shrimp rolls. No kidding, it's better than a lobster roll from New Hampshire! I could do Boat Run for breakfast lunch and dinner! Can't wait to head back.",
"As someone who grew up on fresh seafood since I was a kid it was nice to finally have a place near us in south tampa. No longer having to drive out to the beaches to get my fresh oyster fix. I would suggest the fresh oysters (light, fresh, and slightly salty from the ocean) paired with the Champagne minuet and maybe a actual glass of champagne, because why not, all perfect for a hot Florida day on the water front. Oooo and the fries! Basically they are checkers seasoned fries but homemade and better! that come with a black garlic aioli, which is basically heaven in a mini saucer. Of course if you want someone a little more filling I would do the shrimp sandwich, which felt like there version of a lobster roll. Fresh seafood with mayonnaise and seasoning all stuffed inside a buttery soft bun. Okay I'm hungry again for all this and it's 7:46 .. am.",
"Boat run is delicious and the first of its kind in Tampa. I had the chance to try this out before the grand opening and it didn't disappoint. Everything was absolutely amazing. While I don't eat raw oysters, the charbroiled oysters were so good and really fresh. I loved the option in flavors for them as well. My favorite was the chowder. It had chunks of seafood and a big piece of bread to go with it. Would definitely recommend to try this out, especially if you're from up north and can appreciate great seafood! I'm excited for it to be open to the public so I can go again.The wharf is the perfect spot for this new little gem!",
"I was really impressed with the food here! I had basically a little bit of everything here since I was with a group of friends. Everything was amazing!! The fried oyster tacos were heaven, the shrimp roll was a dream and the Nori fries were the devil!!! Omgg I could eat those all day. I suggest getting a glass of champagne, ordering everything on the menu and sitting by the water and thinking about how blessed you are that you get to eat such amazing food!",
"I had the pleasure of having this delicious Red Snapper Pate and meet one of the owners. Which made the experience even better. I would highly recommend eating here. I went back for seconds before I left.",
"I was so eager to try out Sparkman Wharf mainly because because of Boat Run Oyster Co. I am addicted to oysters and was so excited to try their chargrilled oysters. I ordered the chargrilled oysters with the jalapeño butter and they were to-die-for. They weren't spicy and did not have a kick to them. I also ordered 6 raw oysters with the basil sriracha sauce and they were out of this world. I can't wait til I can get back and try out more options from their menu!",
"The chargrilled oysters were cooked perfectly and tasted very fresh. I had them topped with sriracha butter. I would definitely recomend. I also had the oyster and clam chowder. It was incredible and something I will get again.",
"Fantastic new local spot that highlights fresh Florida oysters and creative interpretations of classic foods (try the fries!). Grab a \"boat beer\" and hang out at Sparkman Wharf!",
"I was super excited to see an oyster bar opening at Sparkman Wharf. It was our first stop. OMG, they are amazing!! I have noticed they change up the oysters. For the raw bar, you order a dozen and then you can pair them with different sauces, those rotate as well. We had the horseradish. ORDER IT. It was amazing, even if you don't like horseradish. It was spicy and clean and not overpowering. We also tried the lemon siracha, it was ok. Not super spicy but not super tangy either. I am a purest. I like lemon and horseradish on my raw. I think they offer charbroiled oysters as well. They are super sweet and clearly having fun in their shipping container. They do have a few tables in front otherwise, you need to wander around. They have a selection of beers and canned wines. We tried the rose and white. Not super bad but not great. \nI did ask if they are going to be recycling their oyster shells and they aren't set up for it yet and will be soon. I can't wait to go back.",
"Why 5 stars? Because I might already have a new favorite at Sparkman Wharf.\n\n --- --- ---\n\nI recently wrote a review for The Corners Pizza, declaring it my favorite restaurant at Sparkman Wharf, but I think Boat Run gives it a run for its money. \n\nOn my first visit, I ordered a dozen oysters - half chargrilled and half raw, and while they were definitely delicious, my total was north of $40. I enjoy oysters a lot, but not enough to pay $40 for such a small amount of sustenance. \n\nBut my 2nd time patronizing Boat Run consisted of me trying out a shrimp roll and the nori fries. Both were home runs. The only \"complaint\" I have is that the shrimp roll was super messy to eat, but messy food is usually better, so as long as you avoid it during a date or a work lunch meeting, you'll be all set.\n\nThe shrimp roll is dressed in plenty of sauce and the bread is smothered in butter. I'm a huge lobster roll fan, but this was just as delicious. And the nori fries were a huge hit at the table. I'm not sure what the dipping sauce was, but it was incredibly addicting. I only wish I had more of it!\n\nThis meal was about half the price of the oysters, so I'd recommend going this route when you're trying out Boat Run!"

"Stopped by Craft Hall today and boy was I surprised....This place has had a total overhaul and just opened today! Soft open, but all was in place, great service from the bar tenders, really good beer! And had some fantastic bites from the kitchen...go for the BBQ pork it's awesome.\nWhat i really liked was that place is that it has a great hang out space to hang with friends but that it also a great area set up so that \"friends with kids\" can also come and hangout. You have gotta check this place out....seriously! Yea and great music too.",
"Stopped in and its like the old Yards times 300... Just a way cool industrial space with various sitting / standing areas. There is a fireplace area, a bar area, a plant area, an open table eating area, and then a huge play area for kids with swings and slides,,, what a concept,, so basically you can come with a bunch of friends with kids and let the kids go wild in the play area while you have some home made brews.. full kitchen which looks ok, but didn't see the menu, but knowing Avram Hornick he knows how to satisfy everyone's taste. This place is the bomb.\nYou don't have a sitter for the night, I'd take the kids here and let them go hog wild while you go hog wild ,, i hear though kids have to clear out by 9PM, but who's really watching...",
"Like what they did with the space. Feels huge inside. The beers are solid, like they were when it was just mainstay open in the space. Main issue are the food prices, $15 for a burger and no fries, $4 for 1 pretzel stick, really let's rethink that this.",
"Pretty dope. Craft beer, good food, kids playground, and Nintendo emulators. We Ordered the chicken sandwich and pull pork one. The pork was better. Ordered fries and Mac and cheese for kids. Mussels were good too.",
"Checked this place out with a group of 6 friends on a Saturday night about a week after it opened. The first thing we noticed is that it's not really close to anything, so unless you live in Fishtown, plan on a minimum $20 Uber to get there and back (ours was $45 from Grad Hospital). The vibe is a little bit confused. At first you're offered a sitting area with a collection of thrift store couches around a wood burning stove. Behind it, the industrial brewing operation. Farther down, a standard beer bar, bread-making kitchen, and... children's playground? I guess this will appeal to hip young parents. I made the mistake of showing up hungry and ordering a burger and wings. Both were very mediocre for the price. A friend ordered the grilled cheese, which had some kind of onion relish that she didn't appreciate. The beer list was lacking in IPAs and stouts. A live band was playing Weezer covers, which was kinda cool, except the concrete floors made for awful acoustics and it was genuinely difficult to have a conversation without yelling. All in all, I'm glad we checked it out, but didn't find a lot of reasons to return to Craft Hall.",
"Honestly, I can't think of a better idea for parents with young children than a playground with beer. Kids are occupied, you're relaxed, and when it comes time for food, it's easy for kids to eat. I guess you get what your pay for, because it was pricier than I thought, but still worth it. \n\nThe playground could be a smidge safer. Put railings on the ramp instead of rope. But other than that, a tremendous experience, even during an elementary school fundraiser.",
"First time here and it is great! Huge open space with a variation of places to sit (ie: couches, high top tables, bar). Bartenders are personable, attentive and cocktails are fantastic. Jeff made an amazing manhattan for me. Fabulous beer selection, will be back!",
"We had so much fun today! We went with several families with little ones from 15 months to 2 years went for the afternoon and had a blast. The playground was crowded with kids (many different ages) so we had to stay close to our daughter as she ran around but in general it went really well. The beers were tasty and we liked the food a lot. The pizza, soft pretzel and wings were great. We'll be back! Love what you did with the space!",
"Came here with my dad & step mom on a Saturday afternnon, nice amount of people inside. They have a playground for children, I'm sure folks have a few quams with that but I didn't think much of it. They have a good beer list offering pilsners, stouts, ciders etc. Me and my dad both got a beer flight - you can choose any four with the exception of one beer because it came in a can. Each beer me and my dad chose were good. My favourite was the stout. The food was just okay. Ordered the smokehouse pizza and the crafty fries. The pizza had a good taste however it was really greasy (I had to put my tide pen to work). The fries were okay. Maybe if the grease from the pizza didn't overpower the taste of the fries, I would have nicer things to say about them. Other than that, this establishment is cool to grab a drink at, meet up with your friends, and just chill out. Check it out!",
"I want to start off by saying this place is really cool and the food and beer was delicious. My 3 star review is due to frustration. I went yesterday with a group of people, it was the first gorgeous day so I was looking all over for places that were dog friendly so we could sit outside with our pup. On the website it says verbatim:\n\n\"Q: CAN I BRING MY DOGGO??\n\nA: Your pup is more than welcome to join you for a pint but they'll need to stay in the outside seating area. Only service doggos are allowed inside.\"\n\nI called numerous times to double check but the phone number sends you right to a voicemail box. Regardless I figured since the website explicitly says dogs are allowed we should be okay. So we load everyone up in the car and take the 25 minute drive. When we arrive I go inside first to see how to get to the outdoor area without going through the bar because of the dog. The bouncer asks me if it's a service dog and I said \"no\" and he told me dogs aren't allowed. I explained to him what the website said and how we were just going to sit outside and he tells me \"this is a people establishment\". It was veryyyy frustrating. I understand dogs not being allowed inside and I even understand restaurants and breweries not being dog friendly, but maybe if you're NOT dog friendly, don't say on your website that you are ... anyway so I had to leave everyone there, drive my pup back home the 25 minutes then turn around and come right back. \n\nGood food, good beer and cool atmosphere but I guess don't believe anything on their website ..."

"The team from Polite Society has created a new culinary paradise. They have taken the old space once occupied by Element and transformed it into, The Bellwether. Last night I was honored to be part of the soft opening of, The Bellwether and am looking forward to their Grand Opening on the 31st of May. \n\nAs always, I took a sit at the massive bar. It's a beautiful bar. The back has multiple shelves filled with liquor and delicate stemware. There are so many shelves, that the bartenders have a library ladder that slides the full length of the bar, so they can reach the tools of their trade. \n\nMy cocktails were masterfully made. I judge bartenders on how they make my favorite classic cocktails. I'm a fan of a Manhattan and Old Fashioned. Dustin, made me one of the best Old Fashioned's I've had recently. He shared with me, that he too is a whiskey fan. I guess that is why his OF was so good. He also, made me one of The Bellwethers signature cocktails, Catcher in the Rye. It will be in my cocktail rotation when I return. \n\nNow, let's talk about the food. OMG! I started out with the Roasted Carrots. It's one of their Small Plates and is large enough to be shared. They were full sized carrots and roasted perfectly. They were tender, but yet still had enough snap. After I received mine and raved, the diners to my left and right also ordered them. They were definitely the hit of the bar. \n\nI figured the new staff had most likely already tried most of the menu, so I asked Dustin (bartender) what his favorite was and he quickly responded, \"Pork Steak\". It was an 8 oz boneless pork steak, served on top of, German Potato Salad and Compressed Red Cabbage. The BBQ sauce was an Carolina Mustard. I normally am not a fan of bbq sauces, but this one really accented the tender pork steak. This steak was regular knife tender, no need of a steak knife. It melted in my mouth. \n\nDessert? Oh, no. I am so full, I just couldn't. We have, Carrot Cake with Carrot Ice Cream. Oh, hell. I gave in and I'm glad I did. The thin slice of cake accompanied with the scoop of house-made ice cream was a perfect finale to a wonderful meal. \n\nFor a soft opening, the kitchen did a fabulous job. I'm looking forward to many return visits to try the Rib Eye, Pub Burger and the Octopus. Once I've tried more of the menu, I am confident they'll be bumped up to 5 Stars. I'm also looking forward to bonding with a the staff of bartenders at TB, as I become a regular. \n\nI'll be back? - Hell, YES! I'll be here for the first night of official biz. \n\nWhen: May 29, 2019\nWhy: Soft Opening",
"We visited last evening a bit hesitant to try something so new, but the team from Polite Society has another home run on their scorecard. I would rate this a 5 but as with any new restaurant there are a few kinks to work out -- but none that impacted our meal. \n\nThe cocktails were masterfully made and delicious. All are creatively named after novels. I'll be back to try more of them! \n\nEverything we tried was delicious from the simple but tasty twist on a Caesar salad to the lamb meatballs served over super tasty grits. We shared entrees as we could not decide on what to have - the chicken and pork (sous vide prep) were excellent! \n\nWe were too full for dessert but the carrot cake sounded divine. \n\nMy only wish was for a slightly more robust wine list but all in all - well done!!!I I see great things ahead!",
"I attended the opening night at The Bellwether and it was a fantastic experience. The new owners did a gorgeous renovation of the space and it is one of the coolest looking restaurants in St. Louis. I had the ginger dumplings as my appetizer and they were delicious and packed with flavor. I especially like the fact that their pasta is homemade. For dinner my wife had the filet and I had the short rib ragout. Both dishes were amazing. The filet was a showstopper. One of the finest steaks I have ever tasted. The homemade pasta with the short rib ragout was also incredible. They also have an impressive bar menu of handcrafted cocktails and a great dessert menu as well. The carrot cake ice cream was terrific! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.",
"What an amazing place. The decor, the food, the atmosphere, the staff...all of it was fantastic. I can't wait for the weather to break to experience their patio. They've got an excellent view of the city at night!",
"I loved this place. I cannot get over the ambience/vibe these guys created. I had been to the restaurant previously in that spot and it feels like a total different space. It's just so beautiful. It was fun to sort of sit back and take it all in. The food was also a thing of beauty. I love going to new restaurants and just ordering whatever the server recommends. We started with the mushroom and ginger dumplings. The pairing of flavors was terrific. We also ordered a pasta and an entrée. I didn't really know what to expect when we ordered the English pea ravioli. But it was soooo good! I guess I envisioned it being a little heavy but it was light while still being fulfilling. The pork steak was delicious and sort of looked like a piece of art. The contrast of colors was really pretty while the mix of food was just perfect. I want more. There are still more things I want to try but I'm going to have to go with a bigger group next time so I can have more of what I already had and sample new things. This place is really a cool spot to check out guys. It can be a casual dinner or a bit more formal. Or just grab a drink. I didn't have a drink while I was there but the bar itself was gorgeous.",
"The Bellwether is located behind the old state hospital in the Lafayette Square area. Just look for the smokestack when driving on Truman, Lafayette, Park, Gravois.\n\nI used to go to Element Restaurant when it was located in the same space. I always loved the space and the owners of Polite Society and the Bellwether did a nice job of re-decorating an already awesome space with a great deck and a great view. The bar is nice and long, so if you are a person that likes to eat at the bar you will usually have no problem getting a seat. \n\nThe food that I had was great! They just opened and they are still tweaking the menu, but I enjoyed the dishes that I had and I look forward to seeing what they come up with. Huge liquor selection including a large selection of whiskeys. Great signature cocktails! Recommend!",
"Wow, they (the same people as Polite Society) have done it again! This place is a must try. In the old Element building, the ambience is perfect! They dressed up the inside and have made the patio even more inviting. The menu has a great variety to choose from. We got several appetizers, the Caesar salad, the short rib ragu, the English pea ravioli, and the pork steak dinner. All were a perfect fusion of flavors and we would absolutely order them again! Can't wait til next time!",

The mango tart was surprisingly special and the smoked gravlax is YUM! Huge liquor selection including a large selection of whiskeys. Great signature cocktails! Recommend!",
"Service, drinks, and food were excellent. Very similar to Polite Society except it offers something they do not: outdoor searing. Excellent experience for the first time out.",
"Wanted to like it based on the name and location, but the apps were so busy I couldn't stay for an entree. Exposed beams and electronic music at restaurants were a thing on the west coast 15 years ago, but its ok to have your own identity, pick one and embrace it. I'm rooting for this place, but it needs an overhaul."

"Yet another business occupying this spot after Sophie & Pete's and Burger 21 but after the first visit I won't be surprised if it also falls by the wayside. Even though we live a mile away we never knew this took over for Sophie until we got the menu in yesterdays mail. We initially hoped Voorhees added a new restaurant but this is Voorhees so we don't get anything new just recycled places. \n When we went to pick our pizza and crab fries up the young lady up front didn't seem at all happy to be there and gave us a very forced greeting so that wasn't the best thing to walk into for a new business. The place looked almost exactly the same outside of orange chairs instead of the red ones from previous place. \n The half sausage/half cheese pizza was I guess technically half and half but the way it was cut was pretty terrible so the sausage \"half\" def got the short end. As for the taste....it was fine but certainly not anything I would go out of my way for or even crave as a leftover. The crab fries were without a doubt not worth $5.95 since it was a small helping and both the fries and cheese were warm at best. \n The burgers at the Mt Laurel location are supposed to be really good (so says facebook) but the chances of me trying them at this point are slim.",
"Always looking for good delivery....first time patrons and we got the general taos chicken pizza and the turkey burger. I didn't expect much from a \"delivery\" burger, but this was really good. The pizza was ok. I was intrigued by the fact that they had general toas chicken pizza so I am glad I tried it - it just wasn't for me. I can't wait to try their other pizzas and more burgers and everything else!!",
"Having read such positive reviews on Facebook, I was expecting big things from the new Crust N Fire Voorhees location. I was therefore disappointed by my distinctly 'meh' takeout order.\n\nI ordered the Truffle Burger and my wife the Southwest Burger. The Truffle had a couple of mushrooms but did not taste like truffle oil. A rogue avocado was thrown in there even though this wasn't listed as an ingredient. It was basically a cheeseburger with mushrooms and avocado. The Southwest was a bacon cheeseburger, they forgot the jalapeños. Fries were average.\n\nI'm hoping these are just teething pains. I'll stick to pizza next time. \n\nPro-tip: The 'Italian Cannolis' dessert is a single cannoli, don't be fooled by the plurality.",
"Food is to die for ! The burger was amazing and my kids had the grandma pizza which I will definitively be ordering again, my husband tried the ranchero bowl and looked very satisfied I remember him grabbing the menu and looking at more bowls to try because it was delicious. \nWe took an order to go last night and it lookes very clean and organized inside. The girl at the front was extremely helpful and gave us amazing input she was petit with dark hair and definitely sold us! The food\ndidn't take long at all considering we ordered to go while there was other inside as well! The young lady also made sure to check on are food and keep us updated. I will definitely be trying many more things from the menu.",
"You don't have to read full review but don't miss the section that starts with \"HERE IS WHERE MY RESTAURANT NIGHTMARE REALLY BEGAN\" \n\nI haven't been to Voorhees town center in a while but found myself there on Friday 1/11/19 around 12:30PM. I stopped into this place for a burger and was happy to see they had a nice food selection. \n\nA friendly girl took my order and she gave me a number to put on my table. I went over to grab a fountain drink and I could only get a few pieces of ice out of the ice maker, ok no big deal.\n\nI sat at my table waiting for my Southwest burger (ordered medium) to arrive. A large party of 10 or so was just leaving and there were only 3 to 4 other customers in the place. As I waited I looked around and made the following observations. \n\nThere was a woman that apparently works there but you wouldn't know it by the way she was dressed. She was in very casual, somewhat unkept clothes (old jeans, sweatshirt, white sneakers no laces). She was middle aged, medium length straight brown hair. I watched her bring out food to a couple customers and interact with some of the workers. She was very casual and in my opinion not dressed for a food serving environment. \n\nShe then brought out my burger, dropped it on the table and said here you go. I bit into my burger and it was well done, charred on the outside even though I ordered it medium. Fries came with the meal but no ketchup was delivered to the table and there was no counter where they are kept. I did see another person with a bottle they were using on their table. The lady that delivered my food wandered around and never stopped back to see if everything was ok even though I was one of only a few customers in the place.\n\nHERE IS WHERE MY RESTAURANT NIGHTMARE REALLY BEGAN. As I'm eating my burger I watched the lady I described above go down a hallway towards the restrooms and she sat in the last booth before the restrooms. She slipped off her right shoe and starts digging into her sock. She then takes off her white sock and turns it inside out and shakes her sock out. She then starts to rub and pick at the bottom of her foot. She then puts her sock back on, slips her shoe back on (no laces) and takes a test step. It appeared she felt something was in her shoe and was making sure it was out and not bother her again. I suppose she thought she was completely out of view from customers but the table I sat on has a perfect view of that hallway. \n\nI then waited to see if she would wash her hands. She wandered around the kitchen door and then went into the kitchen. I counted to 4 and she was back out with a brown take out bag which she brought up to the front register. She then went back into the kitchen again for only a few seconds and came out with food for a younger boy/girl that sat under the tv area. I was repulsed she was serving food after taking of her shoe and sock and touching her sweaty foot, very disgusting.\n\nBefore leaving this review I did a search for this company. If I would have found any way to contact them I would have emailed them directly my concern. People do stupid things and I believe a company should have the ability to try and correct an employee problem before it hits review sites. However, if you their websites you will find other than a general phone number there is no way to contact them. In addition, you can see this page is unclaimed and they have no interaction on this.\n\nPerhaps the woman I saw was the Manager/Owner - who knows but this was so ridiculous and she doesn't belong anywhere near people's food.",
"Best pizza and burgers ever good customer service family friendly environment i will be coming back for sure",
"Excellent flatbreads, good burgers, and good wraps. incredible french fries! Great price. Clean.",
"Although we have only dined out the food was absolutely amazing. We got the Crust N Fire wrap which was to die for. We have also got the BBQ chicken pizza, a favorite of mine! I can't wait to try all of the other wraps! We have ordered directly online once and picked up in store and also ordered from GrubHub and it was JUST AS GOOD. Our new favorite to-go/carryout place!",
"Understaffed.. busy during lunch hours. They accept credit cards. Long wait time. Over 20 people with only two people for registers and to run food. Prices less than previous Sophie and Pete's. Italian wedding soup is good.. crab cake burgers are delicious. Fries bleh ask for cheese. Pizza is yummy though they no longer sell individual slices, only pies.Unlimited drink refills :) discount offered if you're a student / teacher @ Rizzieri. Burger fries and soda can easily cost you $13-15. Come with time on your hands, service is slow..",
"Have been nothing but happy with all that we've tried since they opened a few months back. Grandma pie is delicious - I'm from NY and it's one if the best I've had! Have had their salads and cauliflower pizza - haven't been disappointed yet. They are SO much better than Sophie and Pete's and are a totally different management. Stop in for a bite"

"Snagged a table here with my husband on bustling Friday evening date night. Bardea has only been open for a week and it was excellent! You could pick this place up and it would fit seamlessly in with the chic restaurants of NYC and Philly (plus more elbow room!). Love the decor, wood accents, floor to ceiling windows, original brick, this place has charm for being so new. You walk in to a giant bar where the bartenders take pride in their mixed drinks. We started with drinks until our table was ready. Bruce was super friendly, gave us the background on Bardea, and his favorite dishes on the menu. We went with the assagi cheese and meat board, spicy honey pizza and the bucatini. The cheese board was a random order (my husband never orders that as an app) but it was phenomenal. The prosciutto was on par with the jamon we had in Barcelona and was thin, salty, and tender. I also loved the salumi, super thinly sliced smoked mozzarella, and assorted cheeses, preserves, olives. It was big charcuterie for $22. The pizza was perfect - great crust and very flavorful. I enjoyed the bucatini, rich creamy and peppery and look forward to exploring the menu more. Bardea is a fantastic addition to Wilmington and I highly recommend it for dinner and drinks with friends, family, or a romantic Friday date night. They even have valet parking but we parked two blocks away at Midtown Park (great, brightly lit new parking garage).",
"Great addition to the collection of restaurants on Market street. Modern, tapas style Italian food with great decor, and atmosphere. We ordered the pork belly, charred octopus, bucatini, and a pizza whose name I can't remember or pronounce. The flavors on all dishes were spot on with some unique salads on the octopus and the pork belly. The standout, were the octopus, accompanied with a type of potato salad, and the pizza, with a unique combination of Gouda, red onions, sausage and peas (yes, peas) executed to perfection. I will definitely be coming back and am excited to add it to my rotation. Highly recommend!",
"Beautiful decor. However...Very small plates. Pasta was barely cooked. Extremely salty. Only 4oz wine pour. The gnocchi dish is not for sharing. Only couple of them in a plate. They looked lonely. The calamari were very weird, more like a Chinese chili and left unfinished. 4 of us left hungry and disappointed after spending $120. We went for a snack afterwards to a bar next door.",
"Underwhelmed. The interior is beautifully done. The arugula salad was good. A little too much lemon but good. The calamari I did not even finish. It looked like chili con carne and tasted like Chinese orange chicken. The beer was also good. The gnocchi was good; but only 6 gnocchi. Really?! The tap water was very good. Not too warm and not too cold. And no charge.",
"My friend and I sat at the bar and decided to try a few apps the night of the Sarah McLachlan concert at the Grand. Bardea was PACKED! It could easily be mistaken for a restaurant in a much larger city, but without the big city price tag. We had delicious drinks, a cheese board and the sunflower hummus. Our bartender also sent us gnudi to try - delicious. I am so happy to have this stylish, delicious addition to Market Street!",
"HEAVEN or as others may ask for it, \"Paccheri\" (shortrib, caramelized sweet onions, provolone fondu). My husband had the buccatini which was delish but not as good as the Lamb Bolognese w/goat cheese. Added bonus for those that want it, free valet parking!\n\nNeedless to say, second time in and it's our new favorite spot.. Food and service were PHENOMENAL!",
"Fresh + Fantastic! What a great and inspired addition to downtown Wilmington. Exceeded all of my expectations across the board!",
"Bardea is a great addition to the rising market street restaurant scene. The atmosphere is superb. Great bar, good drinks and good food(though i wish they did some Happy Hour specials). I've been there for after work drinks as well as dinner, and have had pleasant experiences each time. Keep up the good work!",
"Very nice atmosphere. Bartender was friendly. I would suggest this place for a date after work. I had a grey goose Cosmo and the calamari. The drink was great the calamari was good a little tangy. I will be back soon. I also liked the decor.",
"Food and service were okay. 1.00 charge per person for tap water. We will not be back.."

"In my opinion, the best bar to hang out at on Fourth. Much improved since the size expansion. Good drink specials, no cover, fun music, good sized crowd after 11pm or so.",
"No! Hell no!\n\nThis is basically an Applebee's location on 4th without food. Cheesy, stupid interior, way too many people you don't want to come in contact with. It's huge and the dance floor is only about the size of a small bedroom and shoved way in the back corner. Weak, weak drinks. Exceptionally awful place to hang out. Irritating.",
"This is the best Maloney's in AZ in my opinion. It's the biggest and for some reason, it's just more fun.\n\nThe music is always good, they have drink specials and you can count on it to always be packed with college kids and locals.\n\nI have tried their food though and wasn't impressed. I had lunch here with a friend and neither of us finished our food. I had a quesadilla and she had a burger. Neither was good. \n\nMy advice: stick to day drinking and clubbing at Maloney's and grub elsewhere.",
"once upon a time, there was a place on 4th Ave that had $5 beer and burger night...it was AMAZING. yeah, you had to pay a lil extra for the fries, but the beer was as tall as my forearm! the burger was tasty, the fries good...and the bar had 2 for 1...can't go wrong. i like cheap shit. now i hear that they charge more, which i don't dig...i'll let you know next time i go back. the music is loud (but descent)...the chicks there were WAY flirty with the guys me and my girl went with, which made us cranky...when are these bitches gonna learn that the chicks are the tippers and the chicks get angry when you flirt. *sigh*",
"There's actually a Maloney's in Westwood, CA...and that place is shady! so i thought \"oh no...if this is the same place\"...well, it WAS the same place, BUT it was better. a LOT bigger too....it's actually a pretty spacious place so you're not elbowing around...they're pretty attentive...didn't have to sit at the table that long to get service...they have a couple of pool tables, so that's fun...music can be a BIT too loud @ times...very close to UofA...and the Marriott that we were staying @...taxis all around...and the crowd is cool...they're not all dicks or bitches or anything...actually pretty polite for being in a bar...and not all smelly or anything like other bars...had the most business compared to other bars...but then, it is summer...definately would go back",
"I will never set foot in to this dive again. Waited over an hour and food never arrived. Asked twice for updates on the food status. Lazy bartender promised it would be coming soon. The bartender asked to be paided \"cash\" up front for the meal. Never heard of that, unless it's fast food. We walked across the parking lot to a much better place that had service. We saw several other patrons do the same. \n\nPros: None\n\nCons: Bad Service, lazy bartender.",
"k, so i started drinking yesterday at 3 in the afternoon...yup, 3pm. i am now totally disgustingly hungover. it's ugly. trust me...one of those hangovers where you say \"I WILL NEVER DRINK AGAIN!\" and then don't...for like...a few months. srsly, i wanna be dead right now.\n\nBUUUUUUUT, i had a great time at maloneys. except for the fact that, WTF, your kitchen closes at 8?! uh...ppl like to eat when they drink, especially when they have been drinkin for like...6 hours. ally need food. \n\ntrue story, i didn't buy a single drink in this place, cuz even tho i'm married i took my hot single friends out and it was GRRRRRRRREAT. cuz ally is cheap. also, the staff was awesome (shout out to the doormen, yeah, even you, frank!) one of whom was totally willing to part with a mozzarella stick just for me :) awesomeness.",
"Maloney's is the epitome of tucson. Lot of space with tons of locals. You can shoot pool, drink at the bar, go outside for a smoke, and its located near the main strip. I had fun here but definitely will not be back in my lifetime. Another college hangout.",
"I really like this bar. It has all the things you hope to see at a bar, Cheap drinks, BEER PONG TOURNAMENT on friday nights. good people a great balcony to hang out on, pool, arcade games, TVs everywhere with sports playing. One of my tops in Tucson, the only reason i dock it 1 star is I have gotten over charged by the waitress when leaving my tab open. If i get reimbursed i will add the star later.",
"Great atmosphere, day or night. Food is ok, great for post beer and shots. Prices not so reasonable. Diverse crowd, not just college, but 20, 30 and 40 somethings. Staff may make more tips if they were more attentive"

"A new restaurant in Eagle!!! Your gonna get a lot of attention just for that fact alone. Ok guys... let me tell you how this works for us locals. We give you one shot and if you screw it up royally then what usually happens is the lease payment will eat you alive within 6 months while you stare at an empty building and then you're done. \n\nSo three stars is middle of the road because you served me and my wife bland meatball appetizers my five year old could have made taste better with random ingredients in my kitchen. It's not a fatal error because you pulled through by serving us a pizza with the star of the show, balsamic reduction on the side that will surely have disheveled, jittery people pressing their twitching faces against your windows looking for their next fix. \n\nI'm willing to give you another chance and explore your menu further. If you see my face pressed against the window in a few weeks that will be a good sign!",
"CACi's is a great new Sicilian restaurant in Eagle. It was sorely needed and indeed a welcome addition to the Eagle dining scene.\n\nThe noodles are all crafted in house and are delectable. You can taste the quality of a handmade noodle and you'll be left wondering how you could have ever eaten anything but.\n\nThe chef here is also willing to take classic dishes and be creative, this isn't a bland lookalike establishment.\n\nMy party sampled the appetizers, several noodle dishes, pizza and the cannolis. We liked everything, but our favorite was the pizza, the ribs and the cannolis. My goodness, do not end your meal without a cannoli.\n\nThey also have an impressive wine collection as you'd expect.\n\nGive it a go, you won't regret it.",
"Upon entering CACi you know you're going to have a unique and wonderful dining experience. The minimalist / modern choices in the design of the place are impressive enough but wait till you get to the food. \n\nBetween my party and me we sampled the confit duck pizza, Tuscan soup, gnocchi, bread, Parmesan spaghetti and cannolis. \n\nI can easily say that the Tuscan soup I had was the best I ever tasted. And I used to live in Tuscany. \n\nOther favorites we were all abundantly impressed with were the spaghetti dish with Parmesan the short ribs, the pear appetizer. \n\nThis is a unique, boutique restaurant and a sorely needed Italian option in eagle. We loved it and plan on going again soon. \n\nWe also enjoyed the open chefs area where you can observe the wood fired pizza ovens. We also found it impressive that they make their pasta in house.",
"Was excited to try CACi because I love Rembrandt's food. I gotta say, all 3 of us were not impressed!!\n\nLet's start out by saying that the menu was small and they were out of a few items. Scallops and duck (which seemed to be a key ingredient in their recommended pizza). We also had to ask for bread and it wasn't offered. When we sat down, they seemed to really push their extensive wine menu more than anything. I had 2 glasses of red, that were small for the price and a beer.\n\nMeatball appetizer was very bland. Sauces had no flavor or consistency and the meat seemed to be just a rolled hamburger patty. \n\nThe CACi pizza was good if you got any cheese in the bite, but for the most part, there was a lot of crust with nothing on it and it was flavorless!! \nThe pizza was also substituted with Prosciutto because they ran out of the duck confit that it called for. It also had honey on the pizza, which was delicious but needed more since that was the only flavor the pizza had.\n\nThe short rib bolognese had good flavor and Al dente noodles but the meat had a few pieces of gristle and a fat chunk that couldn't be chewed. \n\nMy mom ordered the Casio e Pepe. It was a simple Al dente spaghetti with Parmesan and pepper. It was also very bland and very hot from the peppers; almost too hot to eat. This is when we asked for bread so she could calm her burning mouth. The bread too was very bland and we used the big ramekin of Thyme butter for any flavor. It would have been a good bread to dip in olive oil & vinegar if they offered it. \n\nLastly, we ordered a simple scoop of ice cream that had berries and a coffee drizzle on it. At least that's how the waitress explained it. It took 20 min to get to the table (because it was too frozen hard to scoop) so I guess they had to thaw it. Once it came, I asked her to take it from my bill for the wait time, and I'm glad I did because I didn't even eat it. It was more of a cup of cold coffee with a melted scoop of ice cream and a few boysenberries floating in it. \n\nBoth my husband and I shared the pizza and short rib bolognese. Later in the night, both of us had stomach aches and said we had no desire to try CACi again. We'd rather save the calories for much better flavored food or go to a much more flavored Italian restaurant. The prices Also seemed high for the smaller portions. \n\nI know it's a new place and still needs to work the quirks out. I hope CACi takes customer reviews into consideration and ups their flavor of food so they can live up to their Rembrandt's sister restaurant. We spent about $75 before tip.",
"I was excited when I saw this restaurant was going to be open in Boise, and my husband and I finally got our chance to try it out. We were not disappointed. The menu has unique offerings and isn't just a carbon copy of various other Italian food establishments. \n\nFor example, we started off with a pear and cheese appetizer with a rosemary cracker. The flavors were not what I expected, but so amazing. My husband also got an order of mushrooms, which tasted like they were carmelized...and they were probably the best restaurant mushrooms I'd ever had. I had the insalata mista, basically a house salad, and it had tasty homemade croutons. \n\nWe both loved our entrees as well. The hubby had a bowl of the potato and sausage Tuscan soup, and the scallops with shoe string potatoes. I got the short rib Bolognese, which was served on a bed of wide noodles. It was not your typical bolognese, which is generally a creamy red sauce. The meat, from beef spare ribs, was served in some type of thick broth. I asked our server to top it with grated Parmesan, and it was so yummy! My husband really loved the soup and his scallops. We took home some cannoli to eat later, which was also very good. \n\nThe space is medium-sized, maybe not the biggest, but it is a cool, sleek, and modern place. I highly suggest a reservation, because this place filled up fast when we were there. The staff is attentive, polite, and brought our food out promptly. I highly recommend CACi!",
"Was so excited to try this new restaurant! We went today for lunch and loved it. The interior is beautiful -- great natural light, stylish pendant lights, cool bar, lots of attention to detail. We loved the food too. We had great diavolo pizza, Cacio Pepe pasta, caprese salad, panini salami, nice bottle of red. All the dishes were hits with us and our kids. Excellent service too. Bravo all around!!!",
"Just tried Caci for the first time. We weren't disappointed. Very nice atmosphere, friendly, attentive servers and great owners. We split a Caesar salad and the duck confit, with garlic sauce and mozzarella pizza with cauliflower crust. OMG it was fantastic. The price was very reasonable, looking forward to many return visits.",
"I tried the Confit duck pizza with honey. It was very tasty but the menu did not mention red peppers. Someone had a very heavy hand and it was difficult to eat. I had to scrape them off. The places where I could eat was very delicious. I am planning a luncheon next month and I will return but I will ask questions before I order",
"Tried this new place yesterday for lunch and generally liked it. I won't repeat what Michele R. posted in her excellent review (but read it if you haven't).\n\nWe had a glass of Prosecco which was a good wine, but felt the pour a bit scant for the price. Next came a Zuppa Tuscana which was very good and a bit spicy. For a Sicilian themed place, this soup may be a bit northern, but the alternate soup, Carmelle Brodo Zuppa was more southern Italy, typical of the soups in Sicily or Calabria. This would be enough with an arancini for a nice lunch for me. But, we had a pepperoni pizza to split with our soup. The pizza crust was very good, thin and charred a bit on the edges. But, we found the overall pizza a bit unsatisfying as the cheese tended to slide off the slices. Also, the crust in the middle was a bit soft and needed a bit more cooking time. Perhaps the cheese needs to be rethought to avoid the \"slidy\" nature?\n\nService was excellent. The young lady, whose name I forgot to get, was cordial and helpful. She even had time to sit with us and discuss the evening menu which we will return to try. This place has good potential and should prove successful.",
"We have been to CACi twice - once shortly after opening and then again a few nights ago for what will most probably be the last time.\n\nOn our first visit, we sat at the bar and had a house salad and the pork bolognese with two glasses of wine. The salad looked nice but when tasted discovered the greens had not been washed and were sandy and gritty. The bolognese had a nice taste although a lot of oil/grease in the dish - however someone in the kitchen did not know how to cook pasta and the noodles were all clumped together in a big, sticky baseball-sized ball that couldn't be separated. So basically we had some average wine and two inedible dishes that they offered to replace and then comped. We chalked that up to them just opening and waited a few weeks before going back.\n\nA few nights ago we ordered the Salumi plate, Melanzane pizza and wine. The Salumi plate came with no bread which we requested and then waited over 20 minutes for - the waitress told us they were toasting it although when it arrived it was pale white and cold. Some of the meats still had the casing on it which made it interesting to eat. The cheeses were random slices of cheese of various sizes -- no one bothered to tell us what the cheeses or meats were just \"Plonk\" on to the table. The best was two rock hard pieces of cheese that had to be broken by hand because trying to cut them with a knife or fork resulted in cheese flying across the room. The wine pours were very small given the price and for some reason the Chardonnay was fizzy like sparkling wine - assume it was a bad bottle. The pizza arrived and was inedible. The eggplant had the skin still on so was tough and chewy -- it was randomly strewn across the pizza with no thought to balance - the sauce had dried into the dough and the dough itself was tasteless and could as well have been cardboard. \n\nThe service on both visits was uneven -- if anything the first visit was more solid than the last visit - so it doesn't look like it was opening jitters. One of the owners is on-site but doesn't seem to be adding any value - he mainly sticks to talking to people he knows and stays away from the problem tables (3 tables on our last visit) and doesn't seem to be directing the kitchen, the out of control waitresses or the hostess who seems to be a hostess, waitress and bus person. Considering they own Rembrandt's which we like, you would expect they could resolve the issues and deliver consistent quality food - apparently not.\n\nThis place is one step away from a Gordon Ramsay rescue show."

"I beat the rush on grand opening. $8.99 combo 2 topping pizza and salad . Caesar salad and hot sausage basil 8\" pizza. Lots of craft beer as advertised. Large bar . Tables peripherally . Staff pleasant on grand opening. Lunch was nice . Can't wait to bring my girls here for pizza dinner . Lots of tv's if preds are on is a plus",
"Fortunate accident, seeing they were open as I got home from a trip. I have been waiting for it to open since I saw it announced. Here are my thoughts.\n\nOn the con side, I think the concrete everything and sanitary feel is a bit bland. The concrete bar is a bit interesting, but it feels way to bright, even for a sports bar. And the service has not quite gotten on point, although we had an enjoyable time with the service we got. I will revisit over time and see if things improve a bit. As of this time, I think it is a solid average with potential to be more. I add a star for a beautiful tap selection (more about that in a bit).\n\nThe pizza is good and the cauliflower crust is a nice option. Only available on the smaller pizza, but it is typical, as a cauliflower crust is missing the amount of binder needed to get much larger. This one feels more like a regular pizza crust (maybe a bit wetter on top?). The one at Tailgate has more of a cauliflower taste. So I am tossed on the direction I would take. Standard, but solid Greek salad and my wife appreciated a Caesar that was not swimming in dressing. The pizza we had was the meat pizza and the ingredients were nice. As for pizza in the area, DeSano's is more high end feeling (and more expensive), Sky King in Kingston Springs has some of the tastiest ingredients, and a nice smoky flavor from the woodfire oven. This is a solid third?\n\nAs for the beer? There are about 40 beers on tap, which is nice for Bellevue, which is a bit of a beer pit. They also have a decent amount set aside for rotators, which means I won't get bored. And the list is a mix of things you see throughout Nashville and things that are not on everyone else's list, which is a nice change. On the plus side, they also have early and late happy hour, with a large selection of 2-4-1 beers. \n\nIn summary, I think it is not the best, but solid. In the context of Bellevue, a good price/quality mix, with a large beer selection.",
"We went with our kids after church on opening weekend. The pizza was not amazing but we had Heather as our server and she was the best server we've ever had, hands down, anywhere. The pizza seemed to be made with quality ingredients. The location is great and parking is plentiful. Lots of different sports on big TVs! The decor/style is kind of cold and industrial so I'm hoping they make it more welcoming as time goes on with like... art and warmer lighting. You can only get thin crust on the medium pizza which is weird because it's supposed to be a craft pizza place but maybe I'm not a pizza chef so I don't know anything. Heather's service will bring me back here. I hope we always get seated at her table or hopefully all the other servers are as good as she was.",
"First time there. Pizza was good and servers took care of you. It is a sports bar atmosphere so it is loud.",
"We we're really excited to try this place out as we read great reviews. When we checked in they told me it was a 40 minute wait but we could try the bar. Fortunately we say a couple getting up so we grabbed bar seats. When I sat down I got the confirmation text saying the wait was 5 minutes. We decided to stay at the bar. We ordered drinks and appetizers which were really good. Next I noticed something sharp scratch my leg only to find a screw sticking 2\" out of the bottom of the bar. I notified the bartender and she said she'd try to remember to get someone to fix it later. After we ordered our 2 small pizzas, it took an hour to get them. After 30-45 minutes I asked the bartender to check on our order and she said \"oh yeah, the kitchen is backed up about 45 minutes\". After all that time she never asked if I needed another drink. The pizzas came out and we're really good. We'd love to go back but babysitters are expensive and if it takes an hour to get a pizza, we'd probably just go to Desano's or Sky King",
"Really poor experience. Wife's cauliflower crust was great. That's about it. \n\nFood took an 1h 20m. I got my own plates, I got my own to go boxes. \n\nFamily of four (3 year old & 8 year old) = $91 (Tip Included)\n\nYelp wants me to write more for this considered to be a review. But it doesn't merit the time. Really poor.\n\nYelp wants me to write more for this considered to be a review. But it doesn't merit the time. Really poor.\n\nYelp wants me to write more for this considered to be a review. But it doesn't merit the time. Really poor.",
"Sat at the bar and was waited on by Annabelle. Have never been spoken to so rudely before. Informed the service manager who was helpful. Don't know if I will attempt to go back after the way I was spoken to. Sad, because the bar environment itself was nice initially",
"BoomBozz is going to be a good addition to the Hwy 100 community. My husband and I stepped in on a Friday for lunch and managed a table instantly, which was surprising given that this place is still fresh and newly opened. The hostess staff was very friendly and showed us to a booth by the front windows. My one note to ownership given this location, put in some sort of light filtering shades so the glare isn't so bad on the eyes and so the TVs that line the walls aren't upstaged by mother nature's spotlight. \nThe interior is clean and crisp, a little minimalistic for a place to kick back and enjoy some brews and pie with friends. Nothing cozy but a more simple modern feel. There are booth options, high top tables, regular tables and the regular bar set up for seating. \nThere is much to choose from on the menu with an extensive list see pics) including the addition of salads and cauliflower crust as well as standard gluten free crust options, making it easier to stick to that diet you started this month. . The beer list included on your table is extensive but that being said, not much help in ordering was to be had from our wait staff member. In fact, apparently the bar has more than just beer which slipped right past us completely until after we had ordered and I'm no fan of beer. Wine is apparently available though I still didn't get details or see bottles displayed at the bar. Also, some basic liquors which were on display but hard to notice and could have been nicely highlighted by the waitress. \nThe pizza was good! The crust a little tough but had great flavor and even the hand tossed we ordered was VERY thin. We had a half and half 16 inch with the grilled chicken with peppers and onions, the food runner called it the fajita but it wasn't called such on the menu, and the Nonna. The \"fajita\" was definitely my favorite of the two, but hubby liked the Nonna better and we both enjoyed the crumbled style of the Italian sausage on top. I'm not a huge Italian sausage fan but I liked the crispier texture of the crumbled style. We weren't given a pizza spatula which made serving from the pan a bit difficult, little details that matter in excellent service. Red pepper and Parmesan were on the table along with salt and pepper. Beer served in a warm glass and no coasters, so again details. Details make the difference between 4 or 5 stars. \nIn all, I'm sure the kinks will be worked out, but I was surprised that management didn't once speak as they circulated the room especially since my waitress knew I was Yelp Elite.",
"This review comes from a restaurant veteran, front and back of the house.\nPros: We were seated and then greeted in a timely manner. The pizza was quite good, the kids loved the chicken bites and cheese pizza. The baked cookie ice cream dessert was also as hit.\nCons: Shortly after our order was taken our server vanished, for a while. The apps and kids' meals came out before we got our beer and wine. Actually, we never got our drinks, they had run out. We found that out when our pizza came. Asked a young man if we could get a refill on our waters, \"Who is your server, she can get it for you.\" I think he's a busser. \nThis is the annoyed veteran part: Said busser had a dirty towel that he had nervously wrapped around his hand all night. He and others bussed tables by clutching dishes to their chests and putting their fingers in the used glasses...a sanitary issue for sure.\nFinal Pro: the manager on duty definitely took care of us and recognized a bad situation. Thanks Jillian. We will come back after the crew has been trained up a bit. And, No, Ali I will not respond to your request for an email.",
"Great pizza with garden fresh toppings. Excellent dry rub wings (recommend a side of the mango habanero sauce) as well as large craft brew selection. The gargantuan TV's are a very nice touch!"

"Very nice staff- courteous and polite, not to mention great food! Good healthy option when your at the mall. It's not cheap, but neither is the experience. I'll be going back for sure!",
"When I saw the macaroon shop had closed down I was sad, but when I saw it was turned into a Poke place I was delighted! The food is good and they have way more options than any poke place I've ever been too! Like Thai chili's, tofu, and albacore tuna and so much more.",
"WARNING Last weekend I went to pokeworks. I was so excited because I love pokè. About an hour later, I was violently vomiting from seafood poisoning. I ended up staying in the hospital for 2 days, and the hospital said it was definitely seafood poisoning. I was on an IV for 12 hours. It was HELL. So.... just a heads up if you decide to go to pokeworks.",
"AMAZING! I'm usually not a fan of Poke and seafood so I ordered the Sweet Ginger Chicken and it was one of the best I've ever had - especially from a fast casual spot. My husband had the Spicy Ahi and loved it. Definitely a must-try :)",
"Had a great Pokebowl today. Prices are a little high but worth it, the fish was super fresh and tasty.",
"Go now, insane value, so fresh!!! The salmon was like butter, sauces on point, love that you can choose 1,2 or 3 proteins.",
"Great prices and probably the best poke place in tampa. Located near the foodcourt of international mall",
"Best poke in Tampa! Always fresh and the topping options are endless.",
"When I heard a poke spot was opening in the mall I was excited to say the least. Working in the mall it's nice to have healthy options in the food court since I regularly eat there. My first experience at Pokeworks was great! The staff were super friendly and eager to help. The food was exceptional. I also love how many options they have. The only issue I have is now I'm gonna be spending a lot of money there bc of how good it is!",
"Great healthy option! Fresh ingredients.Great service! Employees are extremely attentive. You should definitely give Pokeworks a try!"

"I was thrilled to find another authentic Chinese restaurant in St. Louis, particularly cuisine from the Sichuan province. I like what they've done with the space. \n\nIf you're not too familiar with Sichuan food, NOT ALL but many of the dishes are paired with spices that are sure to get your tongue and lips feeling the tingling sensation. There are non-spicy, flavorful dishes as well. If you cannot tolerate spicy food, perhaps restrain yourself from ordering dishes with chili pepper icons next to them on the menu.\n\nI ordered the Boiled Fish with Green Pepper Sauce and the Braised Beef Noodle Soup. The flavors and spices in the fish dish kept lingering and getting more bold with every bite. It was very warming and delicious. My friend (who typically enjoys spicy food) had never eaten a dish with Sichuan peppercorns. She was not used to it and preferred to take them out before consuming. As for the beef noodle soup, the broth was hearty and the noodles were the right chewiness. The noodles to broth ratio was to my liking. The beef noodle soup was also a good transition for toning down the tingling sensation from the fish dish.",
"Glad to have another wonderful restaurant on Olive in UCity. I went in last week because I had stayed late at work and didn't feel like cooking. I thought I'd pick up something on my way home and I saw that Szechuan Cuisine was open. The place was packed on a Tuesday--seems like everyone was leaving as I was walking in. It smelled fantastic.\n\nI looked over the menu and was intrigued by many options. The man at the counter answered my questions because there were a lot of dishes I wasn't familiar with. I ordered 4 dishes and had my husband meet me for a taste test. \n\nIn order of my favorite:\nBrussels Sprouts Hot Griddle--not sure these were Brussels sprouts--it seemed like cabbage to me, but it was delicious. It came to the table in a large bowl with a candle underneath to make it boil. There was definitely some sesame oil in there, and some hot peppers, but I'm not sure what else. Sweet, spicy, and tangy. Was even better the following days as I had it for lunch and dinner (again)!\n\nMongolian Chicken--probably there for the American pallet, but it was delicious nevertheless. My husband liked this dish the best. Nice flavor.\n\nChinese Broccoli--you can order this several ways--we ordered with garlic and it was crisp, flavorful, and a nice contrast to the spicy food.\n\nSalted Pepper Tofu--this was the only dish that I didn't love. Although there was a spicy pepper relish on top, it was not strong enough to flavor the fairly bland fried tofu. I ended up mixing it with the oils from the Brussels sprouts and it helped give it more of a taste. I've had salted pepper tofu in many places around town and it is usually much more flavorful.\n\nThe portions are huge--definitely for sharing. The four dishes we had created 5 meals of leftovers in addition to the initial meal. But I'm still glad we ordered all of them.",
"After reading All of the hype about this new restaurant I thought that I'd give it a try. While I'm always pleased when I walk into an Asian resturant and I'm the o ly white guy there. Says alot about its authenticity. There was an immediate issue. My server didn't speak English and I don't speak mandarin/Chinese. There menu is hard to follow due to limited explanations as to what the various dishes are. Maybe this is intentional to keep us white guys away. With all that said, what I had to eat was excellent. If Cate Zone closes I'll definitely be back here.",
"Additional suggestions--we've been back several times and everything has been excellent. On the rec of the server, who apologized about being out of chicken (seems they've taken a lot of chicken dishes off the menu), we ordered boiled fish with pickled cabbage. I don't really love fish, but this was lovely. Light and flavorful. There were many veggies we could not identify and our server didn't know what to call them in English. Doesn't matter. They taste great and add texture to a stew like dish.",
"I took a group of 14 ppl at 5 PM on a Saturday just under a month after opening. I am so glad that we got there early because they were slammed just minutes after we got there! Our server did an outstanding job serving 14 amateurs. He was patient with us and translated the menu really well, regardless of the language barrier. The food was delicious. The dumplings were fresh, the boiled fish ( a huge fish soup with massive chunks of white fish) was outstanding, I also loved the shrimp dry pot, the hot and sour cucumber salad and a number of other things that I tried. All of the prices were fair and the portions were massive and meant to be shared. There was so much food left over within our group. Leftovers were just as yummy! They don't have their liquor license yet but they are working on it. BYOB.",
"I was waiting to see this, so that I could review it here! This gives Corner 17 and Cate Zone a run for their money! I went with my family and I'll let you known that there are many spots popping up like this and they are ever becoming busier and busier. Apparently the secret is out with this one.\n\nWe ordered the spicy beef, and bok choy. I don't know what they did, but it is like they have some extra bit of goodness to make the veggies taste so buttery! We also tried the crispy chicken...THE was a hit also. Not at all disappointed. Watch out though, you have to specify exactly what you want because everything is authentic, down to the waitress that have English as a second language. You can tell they're all catering to the increasingly large Chinese student community that s been coming in as of the past few years. It wasn't much previously, but I think the secret is out for the Midwest.\n\nYou will not be disappointed in the food selection, nor the presentation either. Service was excellent, but be mindful of the visibility from a corner. We went when it was crowded and we had to flag someone down amongst the crowd. Otherwise, it was a great experience.",
"Lunch special menu just added as weekday offer, looking for more fun and authentic flavors coming from them.",
"SO GOOD!!! It's so far the best authentic Chinese cuisine I have had in the St. Louis area! We got the popcorn chicken and the hot spicy fish hot pot with clear noodles, which were both on point in seasoning and overall taste! The spice level was hot enough to be enjoyed and continue without heating up a storm. The service was excellent and provided an abundant amount of rice. Will definitely be back!!",
"Everything we have ordered has been extremely good. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!!",
"When I moved to St. Louis a couple of years ago, there was barely authentic Chinese food, so I was so excited to see more and more pop up with more frequency in the area.\n\nSzechuan Cuisine is right between the plaza seafood city and dollar general, with their own little lot - and it's really easy to spot because their logo is the Sichuan face changing mask - someone really put alot of thought into branding and decor. \n\nService is bilingual enough, the menu has big pictures so it's accessible enough, and it looks like they're working on the mistranslations on their menu too. Menu looked focused enough - it had all the standard Sichuan favorites, and some hard to find ones that still make sense with their regional focus. There was so much I wanted to try! Before I even ordered I already said I'd totally come back to try the things we didn't choose.\n\nBut of course every time I get ahead of myself, I am disappointed. The food wasn't just \"not amazing\" - it really was just not good. They certainly look impressive and like the real deal, but taste just... underseasoned. Like there's no depth from a good stock base, just kind of watery and bland. And not seasoned with plain old salt. \n\nThe spicy+sour vermicelli, one of my favorites, and labeled with the maximum three chilies on their menu, was neither spicy nor sour nor salted. \n\nThe most offensive thing was our first dish, the wood ear salad - a staple light side dish and one of my favorites, tastes likes they took storebought jars of pickled chilies, mixed the brine with wood ears, and served us that salt bomb. It hurt to eat it. Another table nearby was swishing the mushrooms in their water glass before eating. \n\nAnd our two entrees - the classic sichuan boiled beef - also not spicy, not aromatic, but at least the beef was seasoned. The green pepper fish - watery, bland fish swimming in an unimpressive broth and pointless numbing through misuse of sichuan peppercorns.\n\nCool space, great concept, bland food (bland SICHUAN food of all things). Maybe just a bad day in the kitchen because seasoning could be a simple fix when the food looks and smells so legit... I don't know.\n\nMaybe someday I'll come back on someone else's good word that my day was just a fluke...but right now hopefully if others are trying this restaurant this means a shorter line at Cate Zone for me :D"

"Super sweet waitress. They accommodated our requests for gluten-free etc.\n\nFast. \n\nThe fajitas were terrific. Our companion loved his \"cheesecake chimichanga\".\n\nMy son noted that the dinner knife was so dull and cheap that he initially didn't realize when he was holding it by the blade. Yes, those forks and knives were the cheapest type.",
"Cantina Los Tres Hombres recently opened a new location at the Legends. They brought Mexican food and margaritas to the shopping mall Yayyy!!! \n\nThe Place: \n\nThis is a nice restaurant where the Louisiana kitchen used to be (sniff sniff). Bar, booth and big tables are your seating options. Everything looks great because it's all brand new. We sat in a booth by the bar. \n\nThe Food: \n\nThe menu offers Mexican food, options for people who don't like Mexican, and Vegan options. Cantina is popular because of their \"Chingalinga\" a fried pastry filled with shredded chicken. It comes with guacamole and Sour cream -Definitely a shareable appetizer. \nDuring my visit I had a carnitas soft taco, cheese enchilada, rice and beans. The food was tasty and the portions were generous. \nMy husband had a \"Mesquite burrito\" -OMG the carne asada in the burrito was delicious! Anything mesquite seems to be the best in their menu.\n\nWe got two margaritas of course, they were delicious! But you have to drink slow or you will get a brain freeze. \n\nThe Service:\nOur server was Aimee, she was attentive and friendly. She checked on us constantly and brought our orders really fast. \n\nOverall: Great experience, 4 Stars.",
"So this is the same owner as the Cantina on Victorian, but I liked the vibe they were going with at this location. It is much more open and cleaner feeling without \"stuff\" everywhere. The bar was really nice. \n\nI went with the chicken fajitas (no tortillas or sides) and the hubby went with the carne asada steak. \n\nFood was great and mine was prepared right, unfortunately the hubs asked for no sour cream or guacamole and it was on there anyway. It just sucks when. Your food isn't right and you have to scrape things off your plate. Hubs also got a house salad that he said was good.\n\nIt wasn't busy at all, mid afternoon, so it seems like the service should have been quicker but it seem to take a long time to get food. Ana was our server and was super sweet and talked with us a while about the new location and how the opening has bee\n\nOverall good and we will be back!",
"Stopped in today with a friend for lunch. I've been to the Victorian location but it's been maybe 15 years. This location shiny and new. We got there a little after noon and it was....empty. And I don't mean sparse...I mean empty. Not a soul eating. Hmmm. But we sat anyway. Prompt service and pretty decent chips and salsa. We got a small hoax which was a VERY generous portion. It was good but a little over limed. We both had a taco salad and I was very happy. Fresh ingredients, salad dressings were tasty. No one else came in the entire time we were there. Seemed odd. But maybe being mid week and sort of a holiday makes the difference. I'll definitely be back.",
"All I can say is don't come here if you have high blood pressure, you will never make it out alive! The service was good but the food was mediocre and WAY over salted!",
"So terrible! Took over 40 mins to get seated (when it was supposed to be 25-30mins), never brought my daughter's drink, never refilled anyone else's drinks, food came after waiting for 52 mins, poor quality food, and the worst service I've EVER received!! I will never eat at this restaurant again.",
"It's been a long time since I have been to Los Tres Hombres in Sparks. We were at the Legends mall and wanted to grab something to eat. ... and now I remember why it has been a long time since I have eaten here. \n\nThe food is edible, if you get what you ordered or can get any attention from the staff. Terrible service with no drink refills and the wrong food delivered. I finally just gave up and ate the food I did not order because we never saw our waiter for about 20 minutes. The decor is nice. \n\nSo, if you are in the mood for sorta decent Mexican food and don't mind terrible service, give this restaurant the a try. Or just go to at Taco Bell for better food and service.",
"Rude employees. Sheesh! Used to love cantina....will not be back here ever. Yelp says I had a longer review... Not sure why you need a book to say a place sucks but here it is.",
"Bad service, wrong food delivered, waited for about 15-20 min for our waiter to greet us.\n\nAlso noticed some waiters and busser did not wash hands after cleaning tables but then served with the same dirty hands. Nasty.\n\nNever again.",
"Tried this place out of convenience even though I seen the mixed reviews. We ordered the carnitas enchiladas, the tamale and enchilada plate and the Arroz con pollo.\nThe food is mediocre at best. Not much flavor. The chips were wet and almost soggy, there was water at the bottom of the chip bowl. When I got my corn tortillas, the container was visibly wet, not from condensation, but from the dish washer and not being dried completely. The rice in all of the plates had little flavor. I felt like I was eating mexican food at a cheesy restaurant. Wasn't a bad experience, but definitely wasn't good. My son had the carnitas enchiladas which was decent. I would definitely not be coming back anytime soon."

"Taking Indian cuisine from your standard sit and order type restaurant to the popularly growing cafeteria style with simple but tasty choices. You walk in and from the panoramic menu, see a choice of 3 different bases to choose from. But that's only the start with a variety of proteins and Curries your creativity is only limited by your imagination. The food is tasty and if you have never had Samosas Chaat style I suggest you do.",
"I went to their first grand opening day event on Thursday. I had no idea that this would turn out to be a fast food style Indian restaurant, but it was an interesting surprise. This is like the \"Chipotle\" of Indian food. The ordering style is very much like Chipotle. \n\n1st- you have the options of ordering a rice bowl, naanwich, or naan pizza over the counter. \n2nd- you choose from a numerous selection of proteins: tandoori chicken, masala lamb, turmeric ginger shrimp, coconut fish etc. \n3rd- you choose a curry: tikka masala, vindaloo, korma, saag, and madras. \n4th- you get to choose your toppings: cucumbers, onions, cilantro, tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese etc. \nAnd finally you top everything off with a sauce: tangy tamarind chutney, mango chutney, blanco chutney etc. \n\nI would much prefer the traditional menu items at a sit down Indian restaurant, but it's nice to know there is a fast food Indian option available for lunch when I feel like getting something fast.",
"I stopped by this location today because I saw an ad that they were new to the area , and offering free entrees with a purchase of any drink. This held true! I love Indian food, so I was excited to try this place. I've never been to their other location on 10th street but heard good things. \n\nThe venue is nice. I wish I could have captured more pictures but it was busy and I didn't want the guest to feel weird that I was taking their pics. I enjoyed the ordering process. Reminds you of Chipotle but with Indian style food. I ordered the chicken tikka Marsala rice bowl, and added a few veggies, plus the spicy tomato sauce, and a side of Naan. \n\nThe food was tasty. My only complaint was that the food wasn't hot, it was luke warm. I like my food pipping hot. Other than that it was a good experience.",
"This was a refreshing take on Indian food. Walk in and select sandwich, rice bowl, or pizza. Then select main protein (chicken, lamb, shrimp, chickpea, or paneer). Then a sauce. Then toppings. Overall, place was like an Indian chipotle. Food was good with many options and combinations. Drinks were masala chai, mango lassi, soda, and Gatorade. \n\nGreat place.",
"Very quick and great food with a nice atmosphere to eat it in . We drove from Greenwood just to try this location after loving the one by IUPUI",
"Tried this new place out . I went during an off time , 2 pm. There was only 2 other people on there . This place is set up like a chipotle but for Indian food . I've only had Indian food one other time so I was being brave . Lady at the counter wasn't very inviting . I ordered a rice bowl . Total was about $8 but if you want naan with it it's extra . Overall it's good if you want Indian and want it fast",
"So good! The staff were so nice and the food was great. They offer customizable rice bowls, naan-wiches, and naan pizza. Other reviews are spot on with the comparison to Chipotle, customize your meal through proteins and curries and toppings. The naan is baked fresh in front of your eyes and will warm your soul upon consumption.",
"I frequent their location by IUPUI (downtown Indy) and was excited to hear that they were opening one up north. I believe they opened last week and it is set up the same way as their other location. You pick your base (rice bowl, naan pizza, naanwhich) then your protein, curry, toppings, and chutney. I usually get the chicken rice bowl with the vindaloo curry, but I decided to try something new. I got a rice bowl with chickpeas, madras curry, corn, peppers, jalapeno, onions, and cilantro as my toppings, and a yoghurt chutney on the side. The food tastes great, as usual, but the toppings did not look too fresh. I usually at cabbage to my bowls, but it looked pretty brown so I didn't add it this time. I would usually give 5 stars but, their service could use a little more work. The customer behind came in for the first time and if it was my first time, I would like a little more information then 'yeah it's good.' Overall, I hope once they get more settled down, things will improve. There's another Indian restaurant opening around the corner and already an Indian restaurant right across the street. If you're looking for a more traditional take on Indian food, I recommend going to a sit-in restaurant. But, if you want something quick, I highly recommend coming here.",
"The concept is very much like the Mexican \"bowl.\" You walk along the path of rice and proteins, then pick out all the fresh veggies you want. It's like making your own art, but then you destroy it. \n\nThe Get Lost Lady was treated extra special when I asked to have my veggies on a separate plate, knowing full well how amazing the pictures would come out this way. \n\nIndian food is not for everyone, but trying new things is the only way you'll ever know. \n\nI now crave this place!\n\nSee more photos and features at Facebook.com/getlostindiana",
"I'm Indian, been in Indy my whole life. This place is a sorry excuse for \"westernized indian street food\". Nice try though. Food has no flavor, and pretty sure the chicken has Red40 dye in it to make it look appealing. The shrimp for some reason is just bathing in this ketchup lookin sauce that they call curry. Plain and simple the food is just not tasty at all and I do not recommend it. I hate write such a negative post. The employee didn't even know what item I was asking to add into my bowl, I asked for saag which is made from spinach but she was about to add in some other red colored curry (good thing I'm Indian and know what saag looks like). I've watched castleton develop since the day I was born, and I'm kind of surprised they chose to open an assembly-line style restaurant right next to a CHIPOTLE...you're just not going to win that game. Someone didn't do their market research. If anyone wants top notch Indian food, hit me up, my mom makes the best Indian food in Indy : )"

"What!? No reviews yet!? I've been off the grid for awhile now but 10th Street Diner got me all kinds of excited so I had to surface. There's been talk about a vegan cafe opening up on 10th street for years now and it's finally happened. Supposedly, they opened just two days ago and the place is fantastic! It's a vegan comfort food establishment. Check. Their seitan and cheese is made in house. Check. They're relevant, friendly, creative and fresh. Check, check, check and check. Oh, and they offer an outdoor seating area (small but it's there). Check. I am thrilled with this place and it's offerings. Pot pies, lasagna, salads, sandwiches like burgers and Reuben's (seitan or portabello), beef seitan sub, chorizo burrito and the list goes on. It's quite an extensive menu for being two days in, and I can't wait to watch this business take off. We ordered the chicken less pot pie and Reuben and both were delicious and comparable to other vegan eats you've probably had at Pogues Run Grocer or Three Carrots. The only downside for us with the meal was the chips. They're round yellow corn tortillas and way too salty. We didn't eat ours and if that's not your kind of chip either, get a different side. Do I recommend them? Do you really need to ask. Give your canines (your teeth, not your dogs) a break and visit 10th Street Diner!",
"Awesome food! Went today and had the seitan reuben and fried brussels sprouts - the good was delicious and almost all made from scratch. We sat on the patio with our dog - it was hot there at midday but would have been perfect earlier in the day or closer to sunset.",
"Driving through Indy on way to St Louis from Toledo. \nWe are always on the lookout for a new place to stop for lunch. Great discovery! We had arugula salad and chorizo burrito. Super tasty. House vinaigrette is awesome!",
"Ohmygoodness. This place is AMAZING. Their seitan is to die for, the chili cheese fries are no joke and the Reuben is outstanding. My partner and I plan to try everything on the menu. It's that good. More than just the food, the decor is adorable, the patio is comfy and the staff is fantastic. I'm in love with this place.",
"Given there's not a lot of vegan choices in town you might wanna try it with warning. But I'd recommend Three Carrots first if you haven't been there. The staff here are rude and patronizing. There's no ice for drinks, it's self serve and luke warm. And when I came they were out of half the items on the menu. Here's to hoping conditions improve in this place as we are in need of more vegan options.",
"This brand new vegan diner is a much-needed addition to Indianapolis and the east side! The seitan is made in-house and is thinly sliced and incredibly flavorful. I had the gyro, and it was utter perfection with vegan tzatziki on point. We ordered the cheese dip (also made in-house) and chips, and it was the best vegan cheese dip I have ever had!! The baked goods are made fresh daily by one of the owners and OMG, the peanut butter cookie is fire. Two of my omni friends ordered the lasagna and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was! I can't wait to return and try more items on the menu. 10th Street Diner will definitely be my go-to from now on.",
"We stopped in the other day during what I think was their first week of being open. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and decor. It is definitely a diner vibe with a more upscale feel. We have driven by this location for years and are ecstatic that it has such a cool place located in it now. The day we visited you could tell they were having issues handling the demand for their food as a whole lot of menu items were sold out. As such, my wife and I got our third or fourth choices in terms of what we wanted to order. However, both our meals were spectacular for what they were. I got the submarine sandwich. The bread was chewy and flavorful and the seitan was sliced thinly enough to not be chewy but thick enough to still be meaty. The peppers were sweet and perfectly cooked. I opted for a side of fried brussel sprouts, which were simply divine. I will be coming back for those! \nThis place has a lot of potential and I look forward to returning and trying more menu items. The price of their menu items puts it slight below 3 carrots with similar quality. My one suggestion would be to expand the wine and beer offerings.",
"Delicious!! I got the spinach lasagna rolls and my husband got the seitan Reuben. It was flawless. I wanted to order more and I wish they delivered because I'd get it now. \nBest 100% vegan option in Indy right now.",
"The barbeque seitan was the most delicious seitan sandwich I've ever eaten: sweet, smokey, and spicy and topped with slaw. You must upgrade to fries and order a side of the cheese sauce. So glad this place is on the east side. I would post a photo, but I was so excited when the food came that I forgot to take one.",
"Although I'm an omnivore, I still enjoy visiting Vegan restaurants to see the chefs use their skills to create tasty dishes. 10th Street Diner has a variety of meal options including soups, salads, and some entrees for folks to try.\n\nAfter parking in their large gravel lot at this corner spot, I noticed the \"Order Here\" sign above a menu board. The host/waiter/runner greeted me as soon as the folks ahead of me were finished. I decided to try one of their sandwiches, a Seitan Reuben and added a side of Brussels Sprouts instead of the chips (upcharge). They have a variety of beverages including beers, but I went with chilled water from a dispenser by the front entrance.\n\nThe seating area is on the visitor's left and the grill which has bar style seating is also on the left against the south wall. I grabbed one of the bar stools and watched as my meal was prepared.\n\nLet me say that the Brussels Sprouts, which are grilled crisp and coated with a sweet Balsamic (house blend) glaze were fantastic! I gobbled those down rapidly. Note that the portion size is for a single, not meant to be a shareable portion.\n\nThe Reuben has marbled rye, dressing, and a tart and tasty sauerkraut that evenly covers the bread. It appears that the bread also is basted with a margarine to add a bit of flavor and crispness under the press. The seitan was sliced thin and was very tender. Pretty good flavor for a sandwich. However, if you are someone who really likes the flavor of corned beef and Swiss cheese, the seitan doesn't match those deep savory flavors or provide the same texture. So, do I compare this only to Vegan places, or to all other Reubens? It's a tough call. \n\nFrom my point of view, I have to compare it to all diners, not just Vegan because my diet isn't restricted. But if you are also a meat eater like me, don't miss giving this place a chance just because it may be different. Good flavor and good/pleasant service is always appreciated.\n\nReview #2610"

"The food was okay, had to ask for more gravy. I asked for my potatoes extra crispy and they were anything but crispy. It took us a really long time to get our meal so that was a definite let down. They have a lot of options which is nice, unfortunately I should have picked one of them. We will try it again and hope for a better experience!",
"Excellent local family run establishment. The service was incredible and the food was delicious. The menu was very extensive so anybody going for a bite should find something to their liking. Plus, the restaurant was as clean as any place that I have been to in the Reno/Sparks area. If you are going out for a casual meal, you should definitely try out this new local restaurant. \n\nSupport Local Businesses!!!",
"I can't write anything good enough for this dining experience! It was fantastic! \nWe walked in and got seated right away. \nGiven great menus with reasonable prices.\nThe servers were attentive and had smiles on their faces. \nVery pleasant dining experience. \nTHEN we got the food. Ohh man, my burger was sooo good! HUGE! I ate just over half and I was STUFFED! Couldn't eat many fries. Plenty of food for your money.\nI think we are going back this weekend for more. $25.00 for two of us to eat (tip not included) and the food as well as service, was excellent.",
"We thoughtless enjoyed our first visit to this new restaurant. Food was fresh, hot and wonderful. Their dessert was great too. Will defiantly be back.",
"Stopped in for breakfast to try this place out. Breakfast was very good, met our expectations. The service here is wonderful, a family owned location and you can definitely see that they are working hard to make sure customers have a great meal. It is nice to have another dining option in this area, we will be back...",
"Just had the biscuits and gravy special!! It was great. The biscuits are light and fluffy and gravy was very good!!! My hash browns weren't as crispy as I normally like them but they are using fresh potatoes so it hard to get them super crispy!! But they had an excellent favor!!! My husband had the waffle and it was super good!! A very filling meal for a reasonable price!! \nThe best part was... since they are so new there wasn't a wait to be seated!!! The food was served quickly and the wait staff are excellent!!",
"Really, really great. So happy to have this place open again. Service is amazing. They are trying very hard to build a clientele. \n\nFood was superb. I had Tri-tip dip. Pretty darn yummy. Son had French toast, he was pleased!\n\nPlease come try them out so we'll keep this place open.",
"New restaurant up by Kohls and Walmart on Pyramid\nserve breakfast lunch and dinner will serve liquor as soon as the license is approved. Great food and great prices, the staff is very friendly and the service is good.\n\nTry them out lets keep them open",
"This place was just \"eh\" in my opinion. My omelet was just ok. Nothing spectacular. I ordered the home potatoes after reading that the hash browns were always soggy instead of crispy and the potatoes weren't much better. Undercooked. My dining partners salad looked good and I think she enjoyed it. I might come back and try a burger but then again, I might not. Nothing I'd be running back to just judging on my first experience. \nService was good and the staff were all friendly. So there's that.",
"Excellent!!! Food is very fresh, angus beef, full bar coming in two weeks. Very professional, friendly staff. You feel welcomed. This is going to be our go to restaurant. It's right next door to Bank of America in the Walmart shopping center."

"Ok, so you really should give this a try. Interesting concept, Filet as a sandwich and it Durant disappoint. Steak cooked to perfection, just the right spices, and a good roll. Fabulous lunch meal and the price is right. And they Cater!!!",
"I bought 2, 6oz filet sandwiches and a large fries for 2 people to share. Not enough by a long shot. Steak was cooked nicely, tasty but a little grisly. Also I would have expected a heartier roll than a typical burger bun. The roll didn't stand up to the beef. I had to been given a small fries instead of a large. We had to order out a cheesesteak because Nick's grub wasn't enough. Realizing the place just opened I might give them another chance.",
"Their Filet Mignon sandwich is delicious!\n\nComes cooked a perfect medium rare, well seasoned and toppings are free. For me it was American Cheese, A1 and Worcestershire.\n\nAlso tried the truffle fries, which have a great flavor, but were just a tad over cooked.\n\nI'll definitely be back!",
"A wonderful surprise. The filet mignon sandwich was great. The filet was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Nick will need to do something about the hamburger bun which falls apart when you are 1/2 way finished. The parmesan truffle fries need a little work and they a little undercooked for my taste. The menu may appear that be limited, but I prefer a great filet over a larger selection of average food. I'm a coke person so I was pleased to see their coke products in bottles. There are only a handful of tables so as more people discover Nick's, it could be challenging to find a seat. When I was there many people were getting their orders to go. I have a few minor recommendations: (1) make the area directly outside the front for \"To Go\" orders and (2) see if there is a way to add a second door so the cold air doesn't impact the people sitting inside at the tables, (3) add béarnaise sauce as a topping.\n\nThe takeaway from this review is amazing filet and reasonably priced.",
"Nick Filet is a new restaurant and new idea, at least for this area.\nMenu is straightforward, quality seems good, but product is unpolished is a fair way to say it. The filet pieces are an exact triangular size which seems less than natural. The taste seems good however one piece was more cooked than the rest. The lesser cooked piece tasted great, but the other not so much (not as tender) I think the most noticeable thing\nwhich goes to my unpolished argument, is that they use hamburger buns for the sandwich. My first thought was maybe a brioche bun or something more formidable. Also i've heard topping are free from other reviews on this site HOWEVER, for whatever reason i saw no mention of toppings, (free or otherwise) on the menu. Will try this place again after some time has passed.",
"Think of it as a steak slider. A tasty treat, but not enough to call it a sandwich.If you want to feel anywhere near satisfied, you will be shelling out at least 20-25 dollars for a very limited lunch \n\nWould like to see maybe 8 oz on a long 10-12\" roll for 11.99.Fully topped would be more substantial and a nice upgrade from a regular 8 dollar steak sandwich.Past 11-12 dollars gets too steep and will limit business substantially. Main Line has more hungry working stiffs than Main Line stiffs,",
"Awesome food even more awesome staff!!!! The filet mignon is so mouth watering and the truffle fries to much for an ordinary review. Overall, fabulous and next time I am trying the filet Mac and cheese",
"Just to start...I am not a steak lover but this was a spectacular sandwich. I got the \"The Big Nick\" and was not disappointed by the portion size. Flavor was spot on. Bun seemed to hold up well even though I used extra horseradish. I also tried the filet mac and cheese which was tasty in its own right. Only disappointment was the fryer wasn't hooked up yet but gives me a good excuse to go back soon. Price didnt really matter at this point because it was worth it to me! I'll definitely be back!!!",
"I was very excited to try this place when I saw they had Filet Mignon sandwiches! The high quality meat melts in your mouth, and is fantastic. My choice to add bacon did not disappoint, and I personally love the horseradish sauce. \n\nDon't overlook the Filet Mac & Cheese! The tastes of white cheddar cheese and Filet Mignon is a synergistic masterpiece. \n\nI left feeling perfectly full, instead of sick and bloated like after other steak houses. Luxury meat for a great price! \n\n\nThank you Nick Filet, and I'll be in again soon.",
"Not that good and very expensive. Thought this be served on a long roll with thinly sliced filet mignon (hoping for Arby's like thinness but with a higher end meat). Instead, it was served on this little dinky circle roll with two thickly cut pieces for $10; a small plastic bottle of Coke was $3. So all in cost was around $15. Sandwich should be $7 or $8 and soda should be around $2 max. You're better of getting a huge roast beast sandwich from Primos or Our Deli. Not worth at the current prices. If price comes down, probably worth 3.5-4 stars."

"For diverse tapas in the area, this is the place to go! Amazing cocktails - try the limon picante, their version of a spicy margarita, and just the right amount of jalapeño. Must have appetizers - papas bravas, tuna crudo, and the lamb and pork meatballs - they are each uniquely flavorful. For seafood lovers, you MUST have the gulso de mariscos. The amount of seafood in this dish is unbelievable. Packed with calamari, shrimp, mussels and clams in a saffron broth. For the meat lover, get the lamb shank - the mole sauce is out of this world and you will not regret it. For dessert - the flan was perfectly done and hands down the best I've ever had. \n\nAs always, the Nocturnal group and Fabio have knocked it out of the park. This spot is unique and incredible with impeccable service!",
"Okay, where to begin?! I am obsessing over this place already! not only was the decor beautiful, but the drinks and dishes were plated and served beautifully as well! I am pretty sure I ordered everything on the menu.. I started with the bacon wrapped dates (my favorite by the way!) and the stuffed peppers are mouth watering. A this was just to start! The Chicharrones brought me back to my childhood and love that they serve them! I also had the pollo al pastor which was so delicious and cooked to perfection! As If the food wasn't enough of a reason to love this place, they have a stunning rooftop bar! chill music and beautiful lighting that is perfect for a happy hour with friends or even a date night! You will definitely find me there often!",
"The food here is INCREDIBLE!!! The space is beautiful and unique! I love the wide variety of seating options and decor! It feels very rustic and trendy!! But, again... the food is incredible!!! We ordered several tapas to share and dessert! We ordered the eggs diablo which were essentially deviled eggs with paprika and shrimp, but the flavor was incredible! The Jamon & Cheese Croquettes were to die for! The chipotle sauce underneath gave them them just the right amount of kick. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and amazing in flavor!! Now the dessert... we ordered the Tres Leches based upon server and manager suggestion and it truly lived up to the hype!! I have never had Tres Leches quite like this!!",
"AMAZING! First weekend opened and EVERYTHING was spot on! Service was impeccable.. GM stopped by to make sure that everything was as it should be..Food... on a scale of 1-10...was an 11! Fabio stopped at our table and was truly grateful that we chose to spend our anniversary dinner at his restaurant. Seems like such a nice guy. Couldn't be more pleased! Excellent. !!",
"We had an early evening reservation and were seated right away. The layout of the place hasn't changed much, but the decor definitely has. Lots of natural materials, including wood paneling, beams, and brick give it a very warm, rustic look with only framed mirrors as wall art. I also love that they added more booths.\n\nOpening weekend never paints a true picture of a restaurant - service is usually either stellar or struggling to keep up. Mole y Abuela made sure their service was on the exceptional side and I hope it continues! From the warm welcome at the door until we left, the staff was very attentive. At a tapas restaurant, it's nice to have plates cleared quickly without having to ask in order to make room for more. \n\n* Drinks: The Pomegranate Caipirinha was beautiful with a black sugar rim and delicious floating pomegranate jewels. I tried the Vanilla Espresso Martini, but the expected marshmallow garnish was missing and the drink itself looked like it should've been creamy but it was almost straight vodka in strength and texture. \n\nOur table ordered & shared the following: \n\n*Papas Bravas - Cooked and seasoned well with yummy aioli.\n*Jamon & Cheese Croquettes - outside was fried to perfection, but the inside texture was a little mushy. Heads up that the Chipotle cream sauce is definitely spicy.\n*Bacon-wrapped Dates - SO GOOD! sweetness with crispy bacon.\n*Eggs Diablo - these aren't mile-high with garnishes and the filling was very flavorful. I'm sure I'll always order these.\n*Lamb & Pork Meatballs: Favorite menu item! Perfect doneness and accompanying yogurt mint sauce.\n*Gambas al Ajillo - This didn't look shareable, so I just took a picture :)\n*Cana de Cabra - Must try. Fig makes everything better.\n*Chili chocolate cake: wonderful texture with warmth from the tajin and creamy gelato to balance it all. Excellent dessert item! \n\nThey had run out of some items that were highly promoted on social media, so I'm ready to return and try more things. Great experience!",
"Went in with high expectations since it's the same owners from Osteria which is amazing and I can honestly say they far exceeded those expectations. This place is amazing. The food is beyond excellent, the service is the best I've ever had, servers are knowledgeable, they'll happily answer any question you have. We tried 4 or 5 plates off the menu and they were all beyond delicious, make sure you try the octopus and the lamb chops.",
"We went to the soft opening last night. The restaurant is very warm & inviting for a nice date night. \nOur waitress was nice but not very knowledgeable on the menu quite yet...I understand that will take some time. I brought my son with us, only to find out there are NO options for kids (quite disappointing). The waitress recommended a dish that was over $30 for an 8 yr old. \n-Deviled Eggs: decent but not memorable \n-Potato Bravas: Were nicely cooked but a bit under seasoned\n-Chicharrones: were delicious but the menu mentioned pickled jalapeños...apparently the menu had not been updated to reflect they no longer come with them\n-Tuna Crudo: Very delicious! One of my favs! \n-Octopus: Very Tender!! This was also one of my favorite dishes! \n-Lamb Shank: Not my favorite. I was a bit disappointed in the mole.\n-Snapper: The Snapper was delicious!! Had an issue with scales left on but the manager was very apologetic.\n\nOverall, there were a few bumps in the road but I would definitely come back to try again (without my son...LOL)! I love the unique menu & different vibe the restaurant brings to downtown Tampa. So I guess it was a so-so experience!",
"Let's start with the environment and the new decor...\nLiterally completely changed this place for the better! The decor is way more lively and the rooftop is fresh and inviting. Music was playing and felt like a very hip place to be. I can see myself starting here for the evening, working my way to the rooftop, then to Franklin Manor afterwards. Very happy with the location and being able to just walk downtown.\n\nThe service was ON POINT. We were seated immediately upon entering the front door. Our server was great! Even after ordering what felt like most of the menu. He was on it with suggestions and punctuality. \n\nI tried three different cocktails and had ZERO complaints with any of them. Not too sweet, not too sour. Everything tasted light and delicious to me!\n\nThe food....\nI meaaannnn.... PERFECTION! I couldn't get over the flavor in everything I tried. From the asparagus to the lamb meatballs and the bacon wrapped dates to the scallops. One word. Savory. I tried even more than explained above and have nothing negative to say. I can't wait to go back to enjoy the rooftop a bit more...and of course stuff my face again. \n\nTry it! You will be very happy you went.",
"WOW! Trying to not make this a novel but words can't explain my fantastic visit here. From the first steps in, I was beyond impressed by the transformation from the old establishment to what Molé now represents. The professionalism the staff offers goes way above expected. Alan the Manager' is the best thing a business owner can ask for, he strives and commands the most of his staff by being a great leader, BRAVO to him and thank you sir\" The food is impeccable, we shared several dishes and each one hit our palates like no other. If your tired of the Tampa norm, do yourself a favor and definitely come here. Cheers to the nocturnal group for another home run! MJK...",
"I cannot say enough great things about this place! I was able to get a table for their opening weekend and was seriously impressed. \nThe atmosphere is great - definitely better than fly bar used to be. I'm glad they kept the rooftop bar! \nThe food was delicious - we had croquettes, papas bravas, chicharrones, gambas al ajillo, pulpo a la gallega, and torta de tres leches. The potatoes and octopus were my absolute favorites, perfectly cooked and seasoned. I did not have a chance to try the scallops, as they had run out of those (good sign, I guess!) They did not have the churros available on the day I went, but that was actually great, since I got to try the tres leches which I would not have ordered otherwise. Do yourself a favor and order the tres leches. :) \nService was impeccable, everyone was super nice and knowledgeable. Shout out to Jazmin and Caroline who took awesome care of our table and had some awesome recommendations on what to order! Getting to meet Fabio Viviani was the cherry on top of this great meal!"

"Nope. Not impressed. Had to ask for a placemat 3 times and still never got it. No coaster for tea/coffee. Food was served piecemeal. Portions were average and the food was ok. Prices were fair but I doubt that we will be visiting again.",
"Although I have been here 3x since the conversion to Yummy 2, i have not seen any negative occurrences listed in the 2 previous reviews. \nChange is rarely easy especially when a new place replaces one people have enjoyed. I see Yummy's as doing a great job in trying to not only retain but increase their customer base. The inside renovations are charming. Very comfortable, nicely spaced tables. The counter seating is also nicely spaced. They have vastly improved the uneven small parking lot with new asphalt and clearly marked spaces which has increased the number of spots. Today, the lot filled up fast and overflow traffic went to the backlot so clearly they are getting high numbers of customers.\n\nWaitstaff? Well what new business hasn't experienced growing pains? All 3x I've had fast, courteous, attentive service. And, they all help each other to ensure customer satisfaction. No one is ever standing around here doing nothing. \n\nThe food is very good and prepared the way you like it. The menu is big. \n\nHappy to have a good breakfast spot in Delaware County.",
"I'm not sure why this place has good reviews. I came in with my boyfriend and had high hopes -- it always looks full and I've wanted to go for a while. I've never had such horrible service. A former server myself, I know when someone isn't doing their job. I'm allergic to dairy and asked if I could have jam on my bagel instead of butter. The server corrected me \"we have jelly\" in a sarcastic tone. That's fine -- I just didn't want butter. We had to walk up to the counter to get refills on our sodas after waiting ten minutes. The server spilled a glass of water next to my boyfriend's seat and left the ice and water on the floor the entire time. His eggs were disgustingly undercooked. No one checked on us and the food took forever to come out. Never again. Perhaps we got off to a bad start -- maybe the server thought I was a jam snob. Regardless, there's no excuse for horrible service. 30 minutes and no offers for drink refills? No thank you.",
"Not a place I see myself going back to. Poor service, had to wait 10 mins for a menu. And even longer for the food. Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!",
"This is a nice place. The food is good and the staff is very friendly. My only problem was that the chef cooked the home fries a little too close to the French toast. My home fries tasted like cinnamon. Not very appetizing. But the rest was good. Had an American omelet, toast and home fries. Hubby had eggs over easy, grits and turkey sausage.",
"If you don't try anything, order the pancakes. I think they taste better than IHOP. I hate that you have to order $10.00 worth of food to use your check card. The prices are relatively cheap. I wished they stayed open passed 2pm. The staff is friendly.",
"I wish i could give ZERO stars. OMG the food was so bad. I cant even believe some of you actually enjoyed it. They have powdered eggs, homefries that taste leftover, and frozen fish that looked and smewled like it had already been chewed. Please please dont waste ur money.",
"Their breakfast sandwiches and home fries are ON POINT. I always get the bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Absolutely delicious. The staff is friendly, but service is slow.",
"The food is nothing better then you can make at home. Perhaps my own breakfast is even better. I had 2 waitresses take my father in laws order (which I corrected them 3 times when they read it back) and it still came to the table wrong. There is really no \"atmosphere\" to speak of either. The one thing in line with my trip there was the price. It was rather cheap. They gave me no reason to want to revisit. Overall, a trip to Wawa would have been better.",
"I love the chicken and waffles omg, oh and the French toast ,pancakes make u wanna come every day it's sooo yummy"

"1st Review of Saigon Bowl!!!! Discovered this spot on Drew St in Clearwater while here on business. I live in So Cal and have had my share of Vietnamese food. This place is the real deal.. I ordered the Pho Tai, fried rolls and spring roll. I have to admit the fried rolls are bomb- best I have ever eaten anywhere. Pho is tasty and not oily. Don't hesitate to give this place a try. I will be back pho sho....",
"Great food!! I mean, great!\nWish more people knew of this place. Just opened weeks ago, Saturday night and the dining room was empty. With the quality of this place, impeccable service, thought it should be standing room only for a table. Just wait.... it'll get there. \nThe curry soup is craveable!!!",
"Great pho (I ordered rare steak and meatballs) and shrimp spring rolls. Clean restaurant with friendly and fast service. Will definitely be back again soon, happy it's so close by. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a great spot.",
"Saw this place a week or two before they opened for business, the wait was worth it! It's one of few Vietnamese cuisine spots in my immediate area.\n\nI ordered some fresh rolls (goi cuon) as an appetizer. I tried the spicy lemon grass soup (bun bo hue). I got mine extra spicy and it was amazing, it's some of the best I've tried. With a dash of fish sauce it was perfect to my liking.\n\nHighly recommended!",
"This place just opened but it's a MUST TRY ! The food exceeded my expectations . We ordered the fresh spring rolls , fried spring rolls , papaya salad , grilled chicken rice bowl , and last but not least the chicken curry coconut soup! We ate every last bit , the flavors were unlike any Vietnamese restaurant we have been to in Tampa , St Pete , and Clearwater . The owner introduced himself and you could tell his passion for his food and the restaurant. We will be frequent customers without a doubt . Thank you so much for the top notch service from the staff and the amazing food .",
"Really good Vietnamese food. We got the fresh spring rolls with pork and shrimp (goi cuon), spicy lemongrass (bun bo Hue), pho, noodle bowl with grilled pork and 2 egg rolls (bun thit nuong cha gio) and sweet and sour fish soup (canh chua). Everything was delicious and was better than some of the Vietnamese restaurants in St. Pete. The Bun Bo Hue and the canh chua were very spicy.",
"I went here for lunch, and I highly recommend this restaurant! The staff were very friendly. The Pho I ordered was delicious.",
"Had lunch on a whim. Wow! Huge bowl of noodles, fresh vegetables, and deliciously cooked meats. Would definitely go again! Staff is super friendly and professional as well. Bang for your buck on these super-sized meals.",
"Just opened about a month ago. We heard about from a friend. We had the Pho, Goi Cuon and Bun Chi Giao Thit Nuong. Fresh shrimp Rolls, Beef Noodle Soup, and Grilled Pork with Noodles, Vegetables and Fried Spring Rolls. ALL WAS VERY GOOD. Resturant is clean, service excellent and staff very helpfully. This will be a Go To place.",
"Their beef pho is really good! I also enjoyed the Thai tea! So happy this place opened :)"

"Great little corner store for an Ausi Pie and coffee in the morning. The brew coffee is delicious and they have all the espresso drinks too. The meat pies are fresh, meaty, cheesy and tasty. I will be back to try all the different variations.",
"This is a nice place. The staff are super friendly and the food is solid. The pastry is flaky and crisp just as it should be. Coffee and frappes are made with good quality ingredients. All in all a nice place I plan to go back to again.",
"Found this today. Great place with well made traditional meat pies. Give them a try! Owner was extremely nice, also.",
"Delicious and adorable! My family and I love this cafe! The coffee is incredible and I am very picky! My kids love the donuts and cookies. We are so happy to have found this gem!!!",
"The meat pie was so delicious! Espresso was really good! Very clean and friendly staff. I definitely recommend Canes Cafe!",
"Great little cafe and store for locals and travelers alike. Delicious Australian meat pies, quiches, donuts and bagels. Smoothies and coffee too. Great local owners. If you are reading this, you should stop in.",
"Great cafe to pop in to. We saw the big green coffee sign off the bike path and the whole family decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. Flavored frappes, cold brew, lattes, donuts, Australian pastries and meat pies. Cute updated interior. They also sell tshirts, coffee mugs, candles, and wine glasses. Stop in.",
"We had been waiting for this place to open and we sure are glad they did! What a wonderful place to come to. When we walked in we were greeted warmly and asked our names. What's more personal than that? We immediately bonded with the owner, she was super sweet. The cafe has a beautiful atmosphere and showcases the local interests like fundraisers and charities. They cater towards the local high school and even sell shirts.\n\nEnough talking! What did we order?\nI ordered a Java Chip Frappe, and boy was it delicious.\nMy girlfriend ordered a Vanilla Iced Latte and it was superb. \n\nWe learned a little about the owner as well, she told us she was from Australia, and there are pastries and Knick knacks that are Australian themed! \n\nWe will certainly be back for more!",

"If you never had a Aussie pie - check out Canes Cafe and Corner Store - it's the real deal! American's don't know what they are missing if they don't give it a try! Cozy and quaint atmosphere - friendly owners - nice variety of pies and they also have sausage rolls. Extensive coffee menu and smoothies as well. Check it out some time!"

"Dropped in here today to check out the menu and see what they had to offer, as soon as you walk in you see all the amazing food and the smell is great too. It was so good I had to get a whole meal at 9am. Lol. They let me sample some of the food and I got the pork with a side of yellow rice and yuca. It was absolutely delicious and the prices were great too. The customer service was phenomenal and the staff was always walking around to check cleanliness and on the customers. Will definitely be coming back and will recommend to all our friends and family.",
"This location just opened a week ago and every time we go past it it's been packed. We tried to get in Saturday night and the line was around the corner. We went this morning for breakfast and what a wonderful surprise. The food was fantastic, the prices are so reasonable, and the staff was delightful. We will be back soon. \nOh, and they cater and their prices are amazing.",
"Mi Viejo seems to be off to a good start. A Cuban friend tells us she finds it very authentic and multiple people have commented about the value of the portions for low prices. I picked up lunch Saturday from the takeout window and noticed most of the parking spots were taken and there were at least 5 people working behind the counter. \n\nI see there is a sign out front about a hearing about a liquor license. Adding at least beer and wine would be welcome. This space has been empty for about 4 of the last 8 years. Time will tell if Mi Viejo is able to thrive in this location.",
"Just tried their delicious Cuban food!! No other place around here has authentic Cuban food like this place. Service was great, Nicole helped us! We will definitely be back for more. So happy we found this place a few minutes from home. You must try their food.",
"Visited this gem for the first time on 4/20/2019. This location has housed various restaurants over the past 14 years I have lived in this area but I hope this place stays. The inside and outside of the building has been renovated. The food is fantastic! If you like La Teresita you're going to love this place! Even the outside of the building in the back was redone with white vinyl fence with their logo on it. I ordered the Ropa Vieja and it was spot on. The staff was friendly as well. I hope this place makes it. I will be back again!",
"Have been here twice so far for takeout. Both times the food was very good. They have done a wonderful job on renovations. The place is clean and bright and the staff has been very nice.\nA very welcome addition to the neighborhood.",
"Cuban sandwich was on point! My friend enjoyed it. I chose to get the meal, the pernil was a bit harder than what I'm used to and the side dishes very greasy. Portions are extremely large but definitely fulfilling if you are hungry and need to pick up something fast. They also offer a drive through service for phone orders.",
"We tried Mi Viejo for a \"traditional\" breakfast of fried eggs,sausage patty, grits and cuban toast this morning and were very disappointed. The grits were cold, the eggs had a metallic taste and the cuban toast was not great. A gentleman at the next table had the Cuban breakfast sandwich and said it was very good. The array of food for lunch looked amazing so we will try that another day. We ordered some churros to go. They were very skinny and crisper than we are used to. The place is totally renovated, people very friendly. So we will be back soon as we are from Miami and love Cuban food. Just not for the breakfast.",
"I have been looking forward for this place to open for a while now. I went with my family for weekday lunch. It was not too busy, the lady who took my order had a terrible attitude. We decided to still give it a chance. As new customers, we asked for just a minutes to look at the menu(less than a minute) we were rushed to order, so we order sandwiches which were good size and not bad taste. While seating down eating a young employee with some other gentleman decided to change trash & place trash bag next to my infant daughter, then dragged trash right pass the center of the restaurant where other customers where seating down eating. Keep in mind this is a very small space. This all happened during lunch time. It started to get really busy so, changed trash during lunch peak while customers eating and others waiting to place an order?? They were just rude. We decided to stop eating and leave. Food was decent not great and definitely affordable that's the only reason they get two stars because in my opinion services is mostly what builds relationship and keep customers coming back.",
"Delicious Cuban food. The employees were very patient and kind. They let us taste a few different entrees before deciding. They also have coffees, flan (cheese, coconut and regular) and churros!"

"Wow! Best sandwiches in town by far!\n\nAmazing FRESH bread straight from the oven. A1 quality meats and toppings and good sauces!\n\nToo many sandwich combinations to choose from! Will be coming back for more!!!\n\nNot your average Sandwich Spot. No pun intended. ;)",
"Great service and cool vibe. This is gonna be my regular spot for sure. Forget sandwich artists, these guys are sandwich architects! If you actually want to get full from your sandwich, this is the jam..portions are pretty huge just the way I like it. I recommend the Pastrami, but I'm sure the entire menu rocks.",
"I have visited The Sandwich Spot in many locations and when I found out they were coming here I was so excited! The sandwiches are the best around and there are many to choose from. These guys are going to do great here. I love the bread, sauces and meats they use. The staff is great and I enjoy supporting good hearted local people! Btw, can I get that secret sauce recipe!? I promise not to tell anyone ",
"I love this spot! They have awesome sandwiches and a wonderful staff. I've been to the Sandwich Spots in SoCal, and this one is just as good. Appreciate the staff too as lines go quickly and the service is friendly and efficient. Looking forward to this place crushing it in the future!",
"I love the Sandwich Spot! Not only are their sandwiches super delicious, but they are so convenient when I am in a hurry to grab something fast for lunch. Their staff work so quick and efficiently to make sure that you get your food in a timely manner. My favorite sandwich to order from them is their tuna sandwich, it is always perfect. I've tried to get tuna sandwiches from other chain sandwich stores, and there is no comparison. I love this location especially because all of their employees are so nice!",
"Incredible sandwiches. Brought my family here and all left satisfied. Friendly atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Had a great experience here and looking forward to returning again soon!",
"Best new sandwich restaurant in town! Delicious homemade breads, sauces and tasty meats. Great meat to bread ratio, highly recommend their meatball sub. The staff is extremely helpful and super friendly. The secret sauce is to die for!",
"The owner looks like an angry fat Thor but is actually quite nice. He talked to me about my cats for about 5 mins while I was waiting for my sandwich and was quite heavy handed in how he laid the meat down on the bread. Who would have known! \n\nSandwich was a 6 star! I was a problematic customer and ordered custom meatball and pastrami with cream cheese...toasted, and the staff didn't seem perturbed at all. I'm 285 and I couldn't even finish the thing!! Huge portions!",
"They cleaned this place up well! Everyone is friendly and the sandwich is filling. I like the roast beef sandwich (Grandiest Sierra) very convenient!",
"I've been to the LA locations and all I have to say is....DUTCH CRUNCH is where it's at. You won't be disappointed. I'm a total foodie and I love all the interesting combinations offered, I can never decide what to get! A truly good sandwich is art and this place gets it all right."

"Puts all others to shame. A must try. Everything they offer is amazing. The beef is simply spectacular!",
"Stopped by on a whim one night about a week ago to get dinner for the family. It looked and smelled delicious so we gave it a shot. It seemed a little pricey at first glance but then I realized that every burger came with fries and a drink included. Makes the prices a lot easier to swallow with those included. I do have to say though, We were all raving about how delicious the burgers and garlic fries were after we finished our meals. We'll DEFINATELY be stopping by there again when we don't feel like cooking.",
"Their burgers are the best in town!\nThe steak sandwich is fantastic! \nTo have great burgers that fast and terrific menu selection is just wonderful.",
"Been here twice in the last few weeks and it's worth it! Even have a picky 11-year-old and she loves it too!",
"I decided to try this burger place that has opened up in the old gyro shack space on Overland near D&B. The service was great, and it smelled amazing as they cooked my food to order. I got the Little Jo, which is a 1/4 lb. burger with provolone, grilled onions, ketchup and mayo. It was very good. The brioche type bun they use is outstanding (just looked at their Facebook page and the buns are from Gaston's). The burger was cooked perfectly and there was quite a bit of onion and provolone. The ketchup (looks like a gourmet ketchup is used) was delicious, although my personal taste would have a little more mayo and a little less ketchup. But that is only a personal preference. Fries look hand cut and are really good with a peppery seasoning. My meal was $9 for a burger, fries and a drink. Especially good since they use such quality grass fed beef from their own ranch.",
"Real burgers with real fries! If you want a great burger this is the place to go. The fries are real potatoes and they give a very generous portion with the burger. They even make their own ketchup, bbq and fry sauce!",
"The aroma coming from this modest little shack is amazing. Great, friendly service from down home folks. They even serve MFT bbq sauce and ketchup! Another home town tradition. Wonderful spot!",
"Stopped by within the first couple weeks of them opening and the fries were awful. Someone forgot to soak them or something because they were literally just hard sticks that you had to know through. No fluffy potato goodness inside. But I figured someone had just made a mistake and it was very early so I decided to give them a mulligan.\n\nThe fries were fixed and amazing at that. I like to ask for the available Tuscan seasoning on my fries. It is a unique herby fragrant experience. A type of flavor I had definitely never had on a fry before but it worked great and their sauces went perfectly as well.\n\nAs far as the main event, the burgers I was very impressed. Meat seems to be good quality and cooked perfectly with really good ingredients amazing buns and cheese. I can personally vouch that the spicy cowgirl, the Rancher, and the Amy Bitner Yum-Yum are all amazing. Service is also very friendly and prices are great for how much food you get and the quality.\n\nIt would be nice to have a la carte options when I don't feel like splurging so many calories because when the fries are in front of me I have no self-control. That is my only potential room for improvement but I understand that they probably do combos only to keep the the price point seeming low since fries are cheap to make.",
"Didn't even know this place existed and stopped by to get a gyro at the gyro shack. We'll this place took over the old gyro shack and I wanted to give it a try anyways. The menu was amazing so I decided on a spicy cowgirl with bacon. Took about 5 minutes but I watched them cook everything fresh with home made cut fries. Burger was delicious and the fries were awesome. I will upgrade to a double burger the next time I go because I'm fat and that's how I roll. Highly recommended!",
"These burgers were delicious!! Two hard working dudes making good food. Very nice and happy to answer all of our questions. It took a minute but it's made right there and so worth it!! Prices were perfect as well."

"My family went here for dinner last week, and in short, it was fantastic! The flavors were rich and well-balanced--much more so than the usual run-of-the mill Indian restaurant in this part of the country. The service was also very prompt, and everyone was incredibly nice. Dinner prices were comparable to other quality places in the area for the serving size.",
"We visited Amaravati for the first time this past weekend, and we were really impressed by the food! We started with Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower marinated in corn flour batter, deep fried and tossed with spices and Manchurian sauce). It's a dish we love, and Amaravati's version was excellent. We ordered it medium heat, and that was plenty spicy!! I chose paneer butter masalad (Indian cottage cheese cooked in creamy sauce), and I LOVED it. I'd have a hard time not ordering this again. (Also medium, also good spicy, but not too spicy for me.) My husband picked his go to - chicken tikka masala - and he loved Amaravati's version as well. (Again - medium, again that was perfect.) The pries were reasonable and the portions were generous (we had leftovers for lunch the next day). The service was good, even though they were a bit busy (setting up for a 20-person party). All in all, our meal and experience were excellent, and I'm very much hoping to go soon for their lunchtime buffet so I can try a lot more dishes! Try it!",
"I travel a lot and this is the best Indian I've had along the I-65 corridor, I wish I was a local. Garlic naan was perfect, curries were creamy and spices popped! Service was prompt and polite.",
"We just ate here for the first time and had the lunch buffet. It was excellent all around, with a great variety of both vegetarian and meat dishes. The buffet also included several desserts and some lovely chai tea. \n\nI'm rarely in Brentwood, but anytime I'm in the area for lunch, I'll be coming here!",
"I recommend going during lunch time. The place smells delicious as soon as you step in, which is always a good sign. They have the widest variety of food I've seen in an Indian buffet out of all the Indian restaurants I've tried so far! It was really flavorful and delicious with helpful descriptions of the food if you're not sure what it is/what ingredients it consists of. There are options for vegetarians as well! Great place to go during work lunch or out with friends. Try the complimentary Chai tea! Much better than what you'd get from Starbucks \n\nBe sure to follow me on Insta for more good food @graceeatss",
"We have found our new favorite Indian restaurant. We started with the Gobi Manchurian appetizer, which had excellent flavor. I ordered the Chicken Korma and my wife ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala, and we both had some butter naan. Everything was excellent and was enough food to take home for tomorrow. The staff was very attentive and pleasant and we will definitely be back.",
"I used to come here all the time before they changed management and the staff for their weekend lunch buffet with my South Indian friend (South India is where the food is from). Let me te you with a heavy heart that this place has changed. The food and decor is for the worse, though they did install booths. But worst of all, the manager was incredibly rude.\n\nWe came in wanting to ask them to cater a big event for us because they had the best Indian food in town. We sat down just for lunch and took a 15 minute break in the middle of lunch to plan the event. Then went for a small bit of more food. When we sat down, the manager placed the bill on the table, fine. But he later came back and repeatedly tapped on the bill to see if we paid. We then did, just to finish our meal with some privacy. He came back about 15 minutes later saying we need to leave because we have been eating too long. He said the limit was 1 hour and he can't have us eating for \"3 hours\" or he was going to charge us double (we already paid). We got there at 1pm and left by 1:52pm (we had an appointment so we were super conscious of the time). No where in the restaurant or online did it say 1 hour limit. There was plenty of seating left in the place so we weren't taking up table space. It wasn't closing. We didn't know what to think so we decided to never go back or ask them to cater for us.\n\nIf you want decent Indian food, there are other places to go without being hassled by management for eating lunch. Because we won't bother with this place anymore.",
"Such a weird and creepy experience. Some guy in stained sweatshirt (who looked like a homeless person) got us a check half hour after we started having lunch and then kept tapping on it every so often. Since I have never seen such a thing before, I was not sure what his problem was. Later, he told us that we need to leave or we will be charged twice. I was in shock and didn't know what to say to this outrageous behavior. Never going back again.",
"Ordered paneer Tika masala and got chicken. I'm a peskatarian so I was NOT happy. There was also a hair in my boyfriends butter chicken. Garlic naan was dry.",
"I had seen their sign this week and was interested in coming for dinner. My husband and I came on a Saturday night. We were pleasantly surprised by both the food and the service. Everyone was very attentive. It was some of the best Indian food we have had in the Nashville area. We will be back."

"This is a great place with a friendly staff. The food is excellent. We dine just about every week here and I have only been disappointed one time with my meal. There is seating both indoors and out and a seperate bar.",
"Let me start by saying I'm a guacamole snob. With that said, La Terraza has the best guac I've had in Nashville. I honestly go there only for that. They're chips are tasty and don't require extra salt like most places here. I'm a fan of their chimichangas as well, but wasn't too impressed by their quesadillas. Service is usually pretty good unless it's summer and you're sitting on the patio (really small) then it can take a while. Only order their beef taco salad if you're wanting a hop of beef smothering a very small portion of lettuce, I'm not saying it's bad I'm just saying I prefer a better lettuce to meat ration. This isn't the cleanest of places but that is to be expected. The kitchen is half exposed so that's comforting. Their salsa is better than most in Nashville; its very tomato-y, not too spicy, but not ketchup-y either. The queso is white cheese and very thin, nothing added. Tasty though. It is in the Kroger shopping center, so that means lots of parking. I was a bit put off by the fact that it's in a shopping center but I make the trip out to Nashboro Village just for the guac.",
"meh. \n\nthis place is decent, at best, since it's so close to my work. everything here seems so uninspired, even the coke. i think 2.5 stars would really have been the ideal rating for this place. i'll give the salsa two out of five starts for sure. nothing i've had here really sucked, but nothing i've ever had here was anything special either. utter meh.\n\neric b",
"Not the best mexican food I've ever tried but the locals seem to enjoy it. It's not that bad but I'm not the type that will run here every second that I may get either.",
"When I worked at my last job they took us here every Friday. I always got tamales and rice. I still eat this and I still love it. This is my favorite mexican restaurant period!!!",
"This restaurant is a pretty good rendition of the typical Mexican-American restaurant. They serve chips and a quasi-spicy salsa to start. The chips were nice and crispy without being too oily. I ordered the lunch special of chicken fajitas. They tasted great. I filled my flour tortilla with chicken, beans, Mexican rice, cheese, guac, sour cream and a little lettuce. The amount of sides they bring is perfect and will fill you up! \n\nThe service was pretty good as well, perhaps a little on the \"fend for yourselves\" side, but nothing to complain about. All in all, a good experience.",
"My wife and I have been to a lot of Mexican restaurants in the area. and this one is our favorite. They always have good salsa, and the food is always good. The service is sometimes slow, and sometimes they don't charge the same price, but overall this is our favorite restaurant out of all the ones in Hermitage, Donelson, and Antioch.",
"This place is close to our shop so we order from here often. We mostly get the a la cart tacos. The tacos authenticos are very good and remind me of the type we typically had back home (texas border town). The fajita nachos are good, we usually split those between two of us with an order of rice. The mexican rice is very good, not overly sticky like some resturants make. It also reminds me more of Texas then the usually Tennessee \"mexican\" rice. The salsa is ok but nothing special.",
"I go here alot. The food is good and the prices are good too. The owner knows us from around town and I can say this he will work his butt off to make sure you are taking care of. The food is real good and will fill you up",
"Most Mexican restaurants around here are cut from the same cloth. It's not a bad cloth, in fact, I would give 90% of the one's I've been to a 3 star A-OK rating. This La Terraza is a step above for me for a few reasons:\n1. They bring little bowls that everyone can spoon their own salsa into, eliminating the distress of double dipping. I like that.\n2. Their Chorizo Tacos Autenticos' rock and are $2 each. Very simple: Chorizo, onion and cilantro with lime and avocado slices if you're into that sort of thing. They cook the Chorizo until it has a slight crunchiness. So freaking good.\n3. The staff is fantastic. Haven't had a dud yet. \n4. You can order a chicken chimichanga ala carte for $4. It comes covered in queso, so if you're gonna get one don't pay extra for queso with your chips. There's plenty.\n5. They just got these new chairs that are boss."

"This is a crazy cool new restaurant concept. Very wholesome and makes you think about mom's kitchen. Fresh bread, sandwiches and soup abound. From the creators of Prep and Pastry and Commoner and company!",
"This place is so good. I came during their soft opening and was sooo happy. I picked up lunch for my work and ended giving one of my coworkers a bite of my sandwich. All of us were astounded by how amazing the sandwiches were. It's suffice to say the sandwich made my day. I've recommended this place to everyone I know, and am waiting to back in with some more of my friends. This place had so many fabulous vegan options, and I rarely have had a sandwich so good in my life. This place is a must go. The service is absolutely exceptional and I plan on returning very soon.",
"This is the CUTEST new place in town. But can we really call it new-new? This is the latest concept from the folks of Prep and Pastry and is the reimagined space of the former Prep and Pasty location. August Rhodes boasts a bountiful menu of fresh salads and sandwiches with some choice wines and beers. You order at the counter, grab a number, silverware and pick a seat! The eating area remains similar to the previous P & P but a gorgeous new accent wall up in the back with a cart of succulents and bay window of gorgeous bouquets available for purchase as well.\n\nAs for the food? We both got the half/half Sandwich and salad combo (grinder/sumarai salad: Asian inspired slaw) and (tri-tip with dip and Caesar) both of which were delicious and a great portion size! Even then, although we were full, it was so good, we wanted more! August Rhodes has certainly lived up to the expectations and I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!",
"August Rhodes was incredible. The food was delicious and the staff was extremely friendly and polite! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to my family and friends!!!",
"Can't wait to go back! For my very first visit I had the half/half- half a turkey club and a cup of tomato basil soup. Both were amazing. Shared the fries + secret sauce with my husband and we enjoyed those as well. Already looking at when I'll go back and what I'll try next!",
"Went and had lunch with my mom this afternoon and it was fabulous when I was leaving I also bought sourdough loaf of bread OMG",
"The title of this review is over-salted and overpriced. \n\nFrankly, after my initial dining experience I'm amazed that people are giving it 5 stars. I had the brisket sandwich and upgraded my side of chips for $2 to a kimchi salad all washed down with a plain iced tea. The brisket was good the bread was unimpressive and ordinary and the whole sandwich was very salty including the slaw on the brisket.\nNow you may be saying why am I being so hard on them? Because the whole thing cost me $23 including the tip. That's right, for a sandwich with a side and Iced-T it cost me $23, $14.00 for the sandwich, 2.00 uprade for the slaw, 3-4 for the tea (can't remember exactly) plus 3.00 tip. Across the street at Beyond Bread I could also have had fresh baked bread and a larger sandwich with better slaw which wouldn't have been over-salted for 13.50.\nYes, they've got lots of interesting things on the menu and yes I'll go back to try some of them and yes the over salting is the kind of mess up which happens in a new restaurant which is why I'm giving them a courtesy 3 when they actually deserve a 2. If you read my reviews you know everything is cross referenced by price as I think that's what everyone does, at least subconsciously and that of course it's the only fair way to judge restaurants. I would try this place again but my initial experience says to me it's not worth the money.",
"I have to say, I've been excited to try August Rhodes Market and it didn't disappoint. I appreciate when a place puts some love in their food. I had the Turkey Club with fresh sourdough bread and quality turkey and bacon. Looking forward to trying something new next time.",
"I'm so delighted and impressed by August Rhodes! \n\nTheir menu looks great overall, and the good news is that if you're having a hard time picking just one sandwich, you don't have to! You can combine two halves of different sandwiches! Such a great option, and one that both my friend and I took advantage of. I got half each of the eggplant sandwich and the roasted cauliflower sandwich, and she got half each of the roasted cauliflower and vegan BLT. We also had cups of the ratatouille and the kale and white bean soup. \n\nEverything was phenomenal! The bread is amazing, soft and flavorful, holding up well to the heavy fillings. The eggplant sandwich delivers strong Mediterranean flavor, with smooth hummus, salty olives, and subtle heat from the peppers. The roasted cauliflower is a bit tangy, with the pickled turnips and tahini. I'd definitely recommend both! The sandwiches are quite large; I only ate half of each half. \n\nWe also got and loved the cactus fruit kombucha. It was a lovely light/sour contrast to the rich, salty flavors of the soup and sandwiches. I can't wait to try more of their offerings!",
"A solid restaurant!! I ordered the half pulled pork sandwich and veggie salad of the day. Their bread was very tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary that made me jump out of my seat. The pulled pork was flavorful, and very juicy (so much so that i had to wipe my hands after every bite because they were drenched in juice). The salad on the other hand I think was the star of the show!! The veg was crisp, fresh, and the dressing was divine. \n\nOverall, I will definitely be back for the tasty food, wonderful aesthetics (would you even expect anything less from the masterminds of p&p?), and the very friendly staff!"

"Okay - not the cleanest place on the planet, but you have to consider the city it's in. And cash only, like lots of places in town. The servers are mostly really nice even if they forget little things like toast or coffee or sugar or utensils. But the food is damn good diner chow, the menu is fairly eclectic without being presumptious, and the clientele are typical NOLA entertainment, and they are opening a malt shop next door. The patio in back has a nice ravaged look, but the flies out there are annoying.\n\nBonus points for never having seen a cockroach.",
"Great place for a kick-ass early breakfast. In fact, great place for a late breakfast too. This place was one of the first establishments to open after Katrina. They were cooking on propane stoves and serving on paper plates to the rescue workers and homeowners. Props for being the lifeblood of NOLA. \n\nPS: The vegan scrambler is to die for.",
"My young friends love this place. The snarky, quirky wait staff are part of the allure. The people watching is outstanding here-you really see the most colorful (tattooed, hair, pierced, etc.) and sometimes downright weird mix of help and clientele. Hearing one waitress yell across the tiny room \"Hey, you look like Sh@t\" to her co-worker only adds to the funky experience. (Well, she did look bad and smelled bad too.)\n\nThe food-again, my young friends love it. Personally, I think its nothing special and overpriced for the portions served. \n\nI will continue to meet friends here for brunch-",
"If you are looking for a change of pace and some diner food, then this is a very good place to go to. Craving real breakfast food, my friend and I stopped in and shared the 'Contractors Combo', no doubt inspired by the hordes of contractors in town doing cleanup and repair in the aftermath of Katrina looking for lot of food (eggs, grits, hash browns, pancake, toast, bacon AND sausage) at a cheap price. The burgers and omelets are also very good for diner fare. Post Katrina, the place is normally packed with lines of people on the sidewalk waiting for a table by mid-morning. The interior is typically diner decorated with a nola twist. The outdoor patio in the back could use a good landscaping and cleanup, but when the weather is nice and the patio is not full, it can be a relaxing time away from the hustle of Magazine Street. Interesting 'looking' people work here and it can be a great place to people watch, especially if sitting near the windows. Cash only.",
"If you don't know Slim Goodies, you have not had a proper breakfast. It's vegetarian friendly, but also with all your same old meaty favorites. Always popular, this Magazine Street diner is packed on the weekends, and it's not surprising, what with their giant iced mochas, friendly waiters with who dress funky, and a menu that literally has almost anything you could want to order. It's hard to find veggie-friendly places in New Orleans, and for me, this has some of the most creative vegan and vegetarian dishes I have ever found.\n\nOne of my favorites is the Garden Slammer, with a bed of hash browns, smothered in vegetarian chili (awesome, not spicy, but you can add some hot sauce to your liking) with beans and chunks of tofu, topped with an egg (or tofu scramble if you want) and vegetarian bacon. Or how about the Tex Mex Slammer, which has eggs, hash browns, avocados, black beans, sour cream, salsa, fried plantains, and two warm tortillas. They've got sweet potato pancakes, french toast, chocolate chip pancakes for those with a sweet tooth. They've got veggie burgers, regular burgers, and even some kind of eggs with etouffe on top. Seriously, they have everything. And it's all delicious. One time, I got the Havana omelette, and it was SO HUGE, I ate half, was completely stuffed, and took it home for another meal.\n\nIt's worth the wait, and now that they've expanded, you're more likely to get a seat. On a nice day, they've got patio seating, too. I've been to a lot of places to find breakfast, but Slims will always be my favorite. \n\n(Bring cash, they don't take cards....)",
"So yum. Good, just so yum.....\nWent there for the first time this afternoon. Had the Orleans Slammer and it felt good. There was a wait, but I can't wait to go back to eat some more.... Yeah.",
"I always eat here when visiting New Orleans. They have the very best waffle I have ever eaten. Try them any time. Prices are very cheap too!",
"This place was like veg nirvana for two tired travelers after wandering the Garden District on a Sunday afternoon. I'm willing to guess that this is one of the few restaurants (if not only) where you can find facon (fake bacon) in NOLA. Man. I can't remember how long it's been since I've had a BLT. Add the avocado. Just do it. Rave reviews for the veg bacon cheeseburger too. Oh, cheese fries also got 4 thumbs up.\n\nSassy cooks and friendly wait staff round out the happiness trifecta. Some would be diners were turned away, as the restaurant closed while we were dining. The cook yelled after them \"try showing up on time next time!\"",
"my husband and i lived nearby for about a year and a half and ate here at least twice a week (i know, our poor arteries!)... it was always delicious. service was consistently fair-to-good, and prices were pretty decent.\n\none day, we were having the regular lunch when mike looks down and sees a worm in his drink. with legs and eyes and antennae. just small enough to fit though a straw.\n\nthe waitress said \"ew\" but didn't comp the food. after that we could never stomach coming in again.",
"The main reason this place gets five stars is that one of my best friends owns the joint. The second reason why this place gets five stars is due to the food kicking ass. The atmosphere is very New Orleans...artsy...culturally diverse and anything can happen in this eatery...and neighborhood for that matter. It is a real New Orleans experience."

"Great new place in Brentwood. Excellent pizza as well as a full menu with lots of salads, sandwiches and pasta. Nice comfortable ambience. Great for sports watching with 360 degree TVs. Also has an excellent beer selection. I'll definitely be back!",
"Food was excellent, service was also great! I had the Philly Cheesesteak Deluxe which was delicious! They have so many wonderful options on the menu to choose from! Can't wait to come back and try something else! Thank you!!!",
"Westshore Pizza was AMAZING and I'm glad they opened up a restaurant in our neck of the woods!! Not only do they have your typical pizzeria pies, they also have gourmet pies well and many other off menus items like wings, burgers and Philly Cheesesteaks! Plus, THEY DELIVER!!! We will be going back - OFTEN! Welcome to the neighborhood Westshore Pizza!!",
"My wife and I came to the location expecting to find Sal's Pizza, which had previous inhabited the space. We decided to try out the new spot and were pleasantly surprised. Great slices ready to go if you are in a rush or pizza, burgers and calzones made to order. I got a couple of the slices. White pizza with spinach and an eggplant pizza. Who would have thought a pizza with eggplant could taste so good. They were both great. Even better tasting washed down by a local craft brew from Yee-Haw Brewery. We split the garlic knots which were fantastic. My wife got a meat lovers calzone. She could only eat part of it due to filling up on garlic knots. It warmed up well the next day and she gave it two thumbs up. We'll be back often. I have to add that we have now been back two more times. The food quality is consistently great, along with the service. I was surprised (and pleased) on election night when the manager asked me if I voted. When I told him I had, he awarded me with an on the spot discount on my family's order. Nice to interact with real local people with a mind on more than just profits.",
"I was excited to have a new pizza place in Brentwood, it's been missing since Joeys moved out. I have given Westshore many chances to prove themselves. For a slice of pizza and a soda at lunch I would give 3 stars, if someone orders something other than pizza plan on a long long lonnngggg lunch. Go for dinner and things get worse. Customer service is non existent and the quality of food is poor at best. The hamburger was a frozen patty thrown on a griddle to warm up, the lasagna was not even cooked thru. The pizza was the same as lunch. I have had it delivered and it was late, partial order and some cooked some not. Everything is an off brand product and the biggest sin of all.... Serving Pepsi products!",
"Walked in at the tail end of lunch hours (2pm) pizza looked disgusting and the rude employee(saw me walk in and blatantly goes and answers the phone) behind the counter said it had been sitting out about an hour. Turned on my heel and went next door to jersey mikes. You'd figure if that is your main product you'd have a better upkeep than having it look like it's been in a fridge for 2 days.",
"Tried Westshore with my friend from Philly to try the Cheesesteak. Right on the money. Wow! The New York style pizza was a welcome relief from the chain formula stuff that's been the only choice for so long. Staff was smiling and upbeat. NO complaints. Casual seating with giant TV screens all around. We'll be back. They do delivery but we haven't tried that yet. No idea what the name Westshore represents in Maryland Farms on Ward Circle.",
"Best cheesesteak in middle TN easy! I'd be there 5x a week if I worked a little closer. You gotta try this place. The liquid cheese is killer. Nothing but good vibes in the restaurant too. Seriously, go give it a shot, you'll never look back.",
"This review is written on two reviews to Westshore Pizza. Last week, I went to noon lunch at Westshore with a computer buddy.My order was the Westshore Burger and his was the Philly Cheesesteak. He really loved his and he's from Philly.\n\nMy Westshore Burger was cooked a tad more than I ordered.However, the juices did NOT drip and cause my hamburger bun to disintegrate as so often happens.I got chips with my burger. The server brought a small bag chips of Lay's Classic Potato chips. That was special. All things considered, it was a good burger.\nI ordered the canoli and it was great!!!!!\n\nJust last night, I and my wife had pizzas delivered to our home. My order was The Works pizza while her choice was the Philly Deluxe pizza. When delivered the pizzas weren't hot and weren't cold. They were tepid.\nMy choice was a 14\" The Works pizza. It wasn't blessed with an overabundance of toppings. The topping that were there in the cheese were overwhelmed by the taste of the sauce. My wife tried my pizza and I tried hers. She thought that the sauce tasted bitter.\nMy wife's choice was the 14\" Philly Deluxe pizza. She's the gourmet cook in the family and she was unimpressed. I had some of her pizza cold this morning and it was better than last night.\n\nWestshore is a place where people gather for beer, pizza, television and fun. My review is on the food. After two trips, I'm giving this Westhhore three stars.",
"Pretty good pizza and sandwiches. The idea comes from the west coast of Florida. I expect most of their business is at lunch but we came for dinner. Salad/stromboli/calzone/sandwich and the servings were generous. (leftovers the next day)\nTheir marinara sauce is nicely balanced and not too sweet (personal test).\nWe ordered at the counter and the staff delivered out food.\nGood pizza parlor experience."

"My favorite spot with vegan options! LOVE their roasted potatoes and vegan pancakes! \n\nThe newly renovated Consciousness Blossoms is open and ready to welcome you! It's absolutely adorable and inviting! \n\nExcellent service and friendly faces waiting to serve you!!",
"Hubby and I came here for breakfast on a Sunday. The food was phenomenal, so fresh and tasty. The service was quick and friendly with Rebecca smiling as she serviced our table frequently. Nikki the new owner has frequent specials up on the blackboard and she is a wonderful chef. The setting itself is clean, adorable and inviting. We will definitely be returning to this lovely establishment.",
"I really wanted to like this restaurant. Friendly staff. But first off, the dining room smelled like cleaning chemicals. It was strong enough that we almost left, but decided to sit outside instead. It was very clean inside so that's good, but not conducive to eating.\n\nWe all ordered eggs dishes with various toppings that sounded great. We were debating between 2 or 3 eggs, but were told that they were really small eggs, and that getting 3 eggs would be the thing to do. So that's what we did.\n\nUnfortunately I don't think the person cooking the eggs knew what he or she is doing, The eggs were flat and terribly overcooked...zero fluff. They really were some of the worst eggs we have had. Because we were being treated for lunch, we didn't complain, but in hindsight, we should have.",
"My wife and I stopped by for dinner and were so pleasantly surprised. The Reuben Sandwich was delicious and we'd recommend it to anyone. We also had the Mock Chicken Salad Wrap and the Neatloaf Sandwich and both were awesome as well. I'd have a hard time choosing what to eat when we come back because everything we tried was so good. We chatted with the Owners while we ate and they were friendly, welcoming, and the type of people that make you want to come back tomorrow. Overall great experience. Come check it out!",
"Food was \"meh.\" Staff was nice. \n\nMy husband ordered pancakes, and while the waitress said she brought 100% pure maple syrup, it definitely didn't taste like it -- it tasted like the cheap stuff. My Hawaiian Dream Sandwich had potential, but it was just OK (ex: if they had used a nicer bread vs. standard bread, I think it would've really helped). The soup was interesting but I wouldn't order it. The lemonade was watery. \n\nOverall, if they'd do a couple of things to take the menu up a notch, I think I could be a fan! I appreciate that it's a vegetarian restaurant and want it to do well...but it needs some work.",
"Great restaurant to eat at! Very healthy and so many options! I love this place and the owners are so sweet and attentive, they strive to make everyone happy for sure. The restaurant is always clean and it's very up to date with outdoor seating and beautiful interior decorations. There offer new specials every day and they have interesting, tasty dinner specials as well. Niki, one of the owners, personally makes majority of the food with fresh ingredients and spices. The desserts are too die for. It's a great atmosphere, and worth the visit! Carry outs are available, plus great portions of food, and never a disappointment. Thank you Rafi and Niki at The Green Table for opening this establishment for your vegan /vegetarian community. :)",
"Amazing food! Fantastic service! Super cute! I'll definitely be back! The menu is phenomenal!",
"GREAT tasty, healthy, & very fresh (from the farm) food! Vegans & vegetarians rejoice!",
"I always go there for my sweet tooth! Vegan Carob Date Balls, my favorite. But today I tried the Jump For Joy Burger. Yummy! I definitely will be back for another one! It also comes with a Vegan Cole Slaw in the side. Delicious. I don't eat dairy so that was also a pleasant surprise.",
"Went there for breakfast and it was fantastic. We ordered the what pancakes and a vegetable scramble. The food was very fresh and generous portions. We even had leftovers which still tasted great the next day. I am happy that they have so many vegetarian options. We will definitely be back!"

"The place looks beautiful but the staff isn't organized and the food is lacking. The coffee tasted as though it is instant and it was very watery. The pho was too salty and it tasted as if they used powder (hence the dark color) and the noodles are chewy and so is the meat. The soup does not come out hot enough for the rare beef to cook. The workers were sitting down and the owner was running around serving food and took him three times to get our check right. If you're a true pho lover than you would definitely tell the difference between good and bad pho",
"If you know Pho then you know that this pho is made with a base and not from scratch. The staff is extremely unorganized HOWEVER today is the first day so I hope that after some time passes the staff has it together. Can't say we'll be back considering we know where to get homemade pho however I do hope they're a success.",
"We watched with great anticipation the progress of this place, when it finally open, we paid them a visit to our great disappointment.\n\nEsthetically the establishment is visually appealing. There is ample lightning and the tables arrangement is such that allows for great flow and a sense of ample space.\n\nRegretfully when it comes to the food and staff there is much to be desired. The Pho (flagship product of the establishment) is below mediocre, the broth is made out of powdered based vs. the traditional method using bones and spices (star anise, cinnamon, etc). The temperature of the broth at serving is not high enough to properly \"cook\" the beef.\nThere is very little, if any, flavor to their pho. Their noodles are gummy and turn to paste half way thru your meal. Our meatballs were cold once we bit into them, again a result of the low temperature at serving.\n\nDue to the lack of leadership, the wait staff walks around in circle often trying their hardest to do what \"they\" think they should be doing. It is obvious that the management team did not take the time to assign roles and responsibilities. They also lack the understanding of what condiments go with what dishes. \n\nWhen we flagged down one of the two managers to ask for condiments we were quickly told to ask the wait staff rather than them addressing the situation. We felt they were in reactive mode more so than proactive.\n\nWe will take our business elsewhere and perhaps give them another try after they modify their tactics, techniques and procedures.\n\nAdvice to Managemet: take a step back, hold a training event with your waitstaff, educate them on all the dishes, stress the importance of following up with your customers after food delivery and avail your time to your patrons.",
"If you know Pho then you know that this pho is made with a base and not from scratch. The staff is extremely unorganized HOWEVER today is the first day so I hope that after some time passes the staff has it together. Can't say we'll be back considering we know where to get homemade pho however I do hope they're a success \n\n\n\n\nUpdate- so I read a review someone else left. It's a 4 star and they commented how \"why don't we give encouragement instead of complaints\" ..... I find this odd considering I even said that I hope they get it together not to mention a review is based on your experience NOT what you hope they become in the future. I wish nothing but success for this place (if you read the review correctly instead of getting defensive) also I have to wonder... why the 5 star review? Of you had a great and fantastic experience then WRITE ON THAT- not how everyone else should be commenting.",
"Love Pho and looked forward to their \nOpening since it was less than 2 miles from home. Went there Saturday after their opening Thursday. CLOSED DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS! Strange for a new building. Wonder if temporary closure due to bad reviews necessitating training for their staff. Just saying!",
"This place has only been opened for 2 days and it's already closed. I stopped by Saturday to try their food but the restaurant was closed due to electricity issues. There were 2 people inside the restaurant and the kitchen light was open, so electricity issue??? The whole plaza has electricity except for this one. Interesting.",
"After seeing this place get slammed the first week they were open, I was reluctant to give it a shot. But after anticipating them opening for the past year, I decided to be open minded.\nWe just finished lunch and here's my two cents:\n\n1) Decor - really well done inside\n2) Staff - Friendly and attentive \n3) Pho - seasoned well and very tasty \n\nOverall happy with my experience and will be back for sure\n\nI hope the people who slammed them give them at least one more opportunity to earn their business",
"So we stoped in to spite the negative reviews and because we like to support local businesses. \nThe issue with them being closed for a week is they had an electrical issue with their vent hood in the kitchen. As far as the service, you can tell that the servers are still learning the resturant, recipes and menu. \nI got the chicken Pho and it was very good. Not too salty, large slices of chicken breast and the veggies were nice and fresh. \nCamila did a great job as our server. Our classes never went empty and she checked on us just the right amount of times. \nI will be back again.",
"Phenomenal pho. Amazing appetizers. Tasty smoothies. Modern design inside with very polite service. Great place for family, dates, and casual meals. They are open most of the day so you can get food whenever you want. It's very affordable and the SMALL pho portions are so incredibly big you could probably slit that for two people. 10/10 would dine again.",
"Fist visit! We went around 6pm and only waited 5 minutes to be seated. Patricia was our server and she was wonderful. Our food came out quite fast and it was delicious. We will defiantly be repeat customers"

"I have been passing by this place on the way to Chesterfield every day with a \"Coming Soon\" sign hanging in front of it for the last six months. \n I am very glad that they finally opened. Apparently I wasn't the only one waiting. We came on opening day, so many food items were out. We opted for drinks instead. They did not disappoint. \n\nThe decor is quite whimsical. A beautiful butterfly motif to your left and many stuffed pink pigs greet you upon entering. It is a breath of fresh air to see a place like this on this part of Olive. Normally, we would have to be in the de facto Chinatown of Saint Louis towards Olivette. Rather than go towards that side, this will probably be our place to go since we don't have to fight with traffic. We will be coming back. It is a relief that we have more and more places opening in Chesterfield. They will do great, provided they keep up with the outstanding quality and presentation.\n\n*Update on 8/5/2019*\n\nI noticed many reviewers mention the lack of availability of food items, as well as delays in receipt of said food items. I went last Saturday (8/3) with dine in and I was able to get my food within 20 minutes. I believe they're still trying to fine-tune their business at this location.\n\nWith that being said, we had the eel rice bowl and chicken tonkatsu rice bowl. Both were outstanding in freshness, quality, and presentation. \n\nI've had their drinks previously and they did not disappoint the first time around nor this time. The grapefruit tea was amazing; it's nice to have an option that's not just sweet. They've got that figured out.\n\nGive this place a little time to fine-tune their service and execution. It's only been a couple weeks since they've opened. I see great things for this place. They just need to keep up with the quality and tighten up speed of service.",
"There were a lot of positives and negatives with Hi Tea. The bubble tea was delicious and so was the shrimp ramen but it took a long time - close to an hour - to get the food. The decor is very whimsical and cute but the AC was not on very high and it was pretty warm; we got used to the temperature but people who run hot would be uncomfortable. They forgot to bring my boyfriend his water and didn't notice that he didn't have it when they brought out our food, but when we asked for it they brought it right away. I will be back because I want to try out more of their ramen, I just hope it doesn't take as long next time.",
"Stopped by noon time and it is lunch hour and They don't have a lot of stuff on the menu....maybe they are not ready to open up this place yet",
"Tried the new place on a Thursday night. Common opening week issues but the server was nice and the food came out in the normal amount of time. You choose between 7-8 protein options with ramen or rice bowl. Both of our entrees tasted great, very flavorful and healthy. They said the broth is made on site, taking 12 hours. They have several tea options and the two we had were good. I will be back and recommend.",
"I've been here twice now, second time to bring a friend because I was so excited about the place. They serve ramen and rice bowls for food and this is absolutely the best place for ramen/rice bowls I've found in the STL area (I've been to the highest rated ramen spot in STL and it doesn't compare). I would compare this to the food I had in New York.\nI initially came here for the bubble tea and I'm extremely impressed with it as well. It's as authentic as you can get. The menu is kind of confusing because it's not clearly listed which teas are green, red, white, and black so I'd do a quick Google search or ask the cashier. It seems some of them are too new to know the menu fully but they JUST opened so I can't fault them. They definitely are going through some \"just opened\" hiccups so just be patient because the food and drink is definitely worth it!",
"Went in to try the bubble tea and ramen. Both were great! Really good ramen - we ordered chicken, pork (tonkotsu), and shrimp. Good noodles and great broth. The only reason the restaurant gets 4 and not 5 stars is because they were a bit slow to make both the bubble teas and ramen orders, and I was the ONLY person in there in between lunch and dinner time. But I do plan on returning because the food was really good.",
"Came in on a Monday with a friend. There were a couple of people there already, and more people came in as the day went on. We were given the option of ordering drinks or dining in, so we decided to dine in and try their food. They handed us two menus, one for drinks and another for ramen and rice bowls. \n\nThere's several options for seating, such as intimate booths and tables further in the restaurant, or a well-lit, comfy and cushioned area with a cute neon sign closer to the front. \n\nThe decor is super cute! It's a very good place to come and take pictures--both the food and environment are aesthetically pleasing. \n\nI shared a Tonkotsu Ramen with my friend, and we ordered two teas, the Red Jade Milk Tea and the Lemon Galaxy Flower Tea. Price wise, it's not the cheapest, but it's within the average price range of food within the area, and considering how we're paying for both the food and experience it's more than reasonable. Drinks were around $3-$6, food hovered around $13 with a few exceptions--lobster ramen, jumble (jumbo?) ramen, and an eel rice bowl. \n\nWe had just enough time to admire the interior decorations before our food arrived. Other reviews mentioned waiting an absurd amount of time before being served, but thankfully that didn't happen to us. The drinks arrived first and tasted super flavorful. I liked the boba too; it wasn't too soft or undercooked. \nThe ramen was absolutely stunning. It tasted surprisingly decent too. I half expected the food to only look pretty and taste average, but it exceeded my expectations. The broth was tasty, the noodles had a nice chew, and the pork and other toppings were delicious. Yay!\n\nAlso, did I mention how pretty everything is at this location? It's pretty much set up for people to take photos--there's huge painted butterfly wings on a wall to pose in front of, plants everywhere, and the overall theme is very much pink and trendy. \n\nWe ordered another tea to go, which again, was both pretty and delicious. \n\nIt's definitely refreshing to find something like this outside of the city. If you ever have the opportunity to visit or need a place to hang out with friends, come to Hi Tea!",
"Tues 8-6-19 11:30\nParking - Excellent shopping center \nAmbiance - The Decor is so fresh & light. Very refreshing plus easy on the eyes. Artificial green plants separating dining area with beverage area. \nStaff - Very polite and pleasant. New business so they are having growing pains with efficiency. Still all is impressive!\nMenu - Not extensive but nice ramen variety. \n Fresh selection unique teas hot or cold \n With flavors. \n I enjoy green or oolong hot tea w/o other \n Flavors (These are not listed on menu).\nLunch - Chicken with ramen. Excellent and full of\n In depth exciting flavors. Generous Serv. \n Salmon with ramen. Generous serving. \n of fresh salmon. Excellent & delicious. \nWaitress - Very pleasant and helpful. Definitely \n New but very nice. A little forgetful. \nReccomended: Absolutely Yes Yes Yes",
"This was a tough establishment for me to review. Here's why...\n\nThis restaurant chose to meld bubble tea counter service, with sit down restaurant / waiter service. What you get is confusing and extremely inconsistent service. If you have somewhere to be, and time is of the essence, DO NOT come here! Our experience was bitter-sweet in many ways; I'll break it down so you can judge each category for yourself (ranked from 1-10, 10 being the best)...\n\nBubble tea drinks: 9+ Topnotch! Boba was sweet / flavorful (and cooked to perfection), and teas were prepared expertly with unique / pure flavors.\n\nFood: 9+ Wonderful ramen dishes - super soft pork belly and beef, with a soft boiled egg and just the right saltiness; you can actually drink the broth without sodium overload! One of the best ramen bowls I've eaten. They also have rice bowls if you want your sushi fix!\n\nVenue / decor: 10 - WOW, they found one heck of an interior designer with fashion sense; the environment is playful, fresh, and comforting, with spring colors, tables and chairs that match the wall decor, a jaw-dropping butterfly mural, soothing contemporary music humming in the background, and lots (and LOTS) of stuffed pigs for a cuteness factor. \n\nNow, here's the SAD SAD news...\n\nService: 2 - yes, it was that bad, unfortunately. It was so sad to see this establishment suffering from untrained and inadequate service. \n\nMy wife and I entered and waited...and waited...to be seated. Finally, I asked the person at the counter if we should just find a table and sit. With a host desk set up at the entrance, you would expect someone to seat you - my suggestion is to have a sign that directs people to either seat themselves, or wait for a hostess to seat you.\n\nOnce seated, the waiter did take our orders quickly - yay! However, our drinks didn't arrive until we were halfway through eating our ramen, and we even reminded them twice - first time, we got the response, \"Oh...it's coming, but there's a line of orders ahead of you.\" Come to find out that our drink was sitting on a counter, and never got delivered. Once they did give us the drinks, we discovered there was no boba in our drinks.\n\nAs a side note, a couple next to us sat for 30 min, until a waiter approached them, and asked if they ordered food; they said yes and repeated the order again. The waiter then showed their order slip to the person behind the counter, and the counter personnel hurriedly walked into the kitchen to START their order!\n\nAfter we were finished eating, we asked for the bill - their response: \"Oh...you need to go to the counter to pay for your order.\" Again, goes back to the confusing meld between bubble tea counter service and restaurant service. So, we happily went to the counter only to find 5 people in line ordering their bubble tea drinks. So, we had to wait in line just to pay for our dinner. Our suggestion would be for the waiter to enter the order into the register, and deliver it to the table...like a restaurant should. If we sit down to be served, we shouldn't have to get in the same line as bubble tea counter customers just to pay our bill.\n\nThere's potential for GREATNESS in this establishment...IF they fix their service flaws, and they are, unfortunately, BIG flaws. Please train your staff to focus on customer service and consistent / timely delivery of drinks / dishes. Go the extra mile and actually deliver the bill to tables! I will be back again in hopes that their service improves. Once it does, I would happily change this rating to 4-5 stars \n\nGood luck, Hi Tea - we're rooting for you!",
"Beautiful space! It was fun to walk around and explore and take photos. The service was prompt and went smoothly. I had the pineapple, strawberry, and mango smoothie which beautiful and equally delicious--not too sweet and refreshing. The ramen was bland."

"Love outback! So had to come try this new version.\n\nIt did not disappoint, even though it was opening day the food was great and prices were better then I could have expected! Cheese fries were just the same as if you were at an outback!\n\nLook forward to more of these locations opening up!!",
"Love this new pop up of Outback. The brisket sandwich was phenomenal. The flavors were perfect. Also had the chicken siracha sandwich , delicious. Will be back for more !",
"I love Outback so I was excited to see this restaurant coming to the area. I started following their progress on social media and was so happy when they finally opened. \n\nI was invited to their family and friends event to try out their food. I was so impressed with the service and food. I ordered the SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN and was given a choice for temperature. How awesome is that?! The beef was cooked perfectly at medium and the sauce was outstanding. My husband ordered the BRAISED BRISKET SANDWICH. It was so good that he wanted to go back for more. My boys enjoyed their cheeseburger kids meal. \n\nWe returned again after opening to try other menu items. The CRISPY SRIRACHA CHICKEN SANDWICH is definitely my favorite! It has that kick that will have you grabbing a tissue. Lol. The CRISPY CAJUN SHRIMP is also delicious! \n\nToday my husband ordered the BACON BOMB BURGER and he was not disappointed. I decided to get the CRISPY SRIRACHA CHICKEN SANDWICH again because I was craving it.",
"Awesome, really awesome.\nFriendly staffs, delicious food, everything fresh and hot. \nDrive thru may take a few minutes but is because this platters are not reclutar fast food... I'll be back soon. \nThey had such a good team. My congrats to the manager team as well we need more business like this in Wesley chapel.",
"What a nice surprise. I was headed to Walk Ons with my lady for some takeout when we saw that Aussie's was open. Come to find out it was a special grand opening before their official opening two days later. All the food was free!!!\n\nWe tried the shrimp, onion petals and chicken fingers. I nabbed some ribs for my parents. Overall, everything was REALLY GOOD. The fried foods were freshly prepared and crispy. The ribs were REALLY saucy. \n\nI have NO complaints here. Their food is amazing and the staff was very friendly. They also wore gloves and masks!!! I definitely recommend. The menu is small but everything on it is something you'd want to come back and try, and I doubt you'll be disappointed.",
"Okay seriously this has to be the best place EVER. Whoever thought of putting Aussie in Wesley Chapel is a genius. This place is DELICIOUS! I came here on the day it opened and I waited maybe 20 minutes in the drive thru line but it was worth every minute i waited. I got the Crispy Chicken Siracha Sandwhich and i HIGHLY recommend it. I also got the Watermelon Lemonade which was also delicious. The employees were all wearing their masks and gloves during this pandemic & were super polite! The food is very fair pricing and you get a lot! You'll definitely be full after eating here. I can not recommend this place enough!!",
"Burgers and chicken tenders were very good for \"fast food\". Generous portion of fries which were really tasty!",
"We were out for a grocery run in the area but needed to eat dinner so we thought we'd try something in the area. Boy, what a surprise for a chain off-shoot! Everything was delicious! I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries which leaves little to be desired, my husband had the brisket sandwich with a side salad which was SOOO good and we ordered kiddie tenders for our little. \nThe brisket sandwich was out of this world! My husband added lettuce and tomatoes to his sandwich in addition to the side salad to balance all the savory flavors and it was perfect! I almost switched midway to his sandwich but I couldn't put my burger down. Our youngster also enjoyed the tenders and wanted to shovel it all. The honey mustard that came with the tenders was also bomb! Between the fries that came with my burger and our youngsters, we had plenty for the table and my hubs and I split the side salad. All in all, a pretty solid burger spot and we'll definitely be going back when we're on a burger fix. from our crew",
"Great food and top it off with exceptional customer service. Haley and Melissa are fantastic and answered all my questions. Will definitely be coming back.",
"Our favorite when we visit some of the local malls so how wonderful that they have an actual dine in restaurant close to home! Greeted at the door, walk in to the counter to place your order and grab a seat. They have plenty of tables available however do have social distancing between the tables which limits capacity and make have a slight delay for seating. They have staff wearing gloves and masks as well as ensure tables are kept clean between diners. Staff is very pleasant and welcoming. Food was fabulous as always. I had the grilled chicken sandwich which was so full of flavor. My husband's filet was savory and melt in your mouth good. My daughter got the sriracha chicken sandwich which wasn't as spicy as she had hoped; it was actually more sweet but overall still delicious and she devoured the whole thing."

"Opening day of this new coffee franchise (from Iowa) saw long lines in both the drive thru and walk up counter. The line was constant from 6 a.m. to when I got there around 10:30. Yet everyone, staff and customers, seemed in a good mood.\n\nThe line moved along and allowed plenty of time to see the menu of beverages, pastries, and sandwiches, both breakfast and lunch.\n\nWhile waiting, one of the staff asked customers if they wanted to be part of the rewards program offered.\n\nI noticed there was a small dining room and another beyond that. Since both were full I decided to get my order to go.\n\nI placed my order for a short medium roast black coffee, a mixed berry biscuit, a #1 breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage, and cheese, and a #5 Cabin Club turkey & ham on marbled rye. After paying and giving my name, I took my drip coffee and waited with those ahead of me who were also getting food and/or a special beverage.\n\nI must say I really liked the breakfast sandwich that was served on a plain bagel. Nice flavor without needing any seasoning. \n\nThe mixed berry biscuit was just a bit dry on the outside, but when eaten with the tasty fruit in the middle, was also quite good.\n\nThe Cabin Club had a thick layer of folded sliced ham and turkey along with tomato and lettuce on marbled rye. Nice flavor but since it didn't have any condiments, it seemed a bit dry. I don't recall seeing packets while there but it would have been nice to be asked if I wanted any condiments or directed to them by the staff. Fortunately, I had them at home and made the sandwich taste better.\n\nNote: Though the meats were layered thick in the middle, they were not layered evenly across the entirety of the bread.\n\nAnd the coffee? Served so hot that I couldn't hold my cup even with the insulator. I waited at least 5 minutes before trying to sip it and still burned my tongue. Eventually, it cooled enough to drink. It had a slightly burned taste that kept it from being a satisfying brew.\n\nOverall, the food was enjoyable and reasonably priced. I would encourage them to reduce the coffee temperature after roasting it so that folks who drink the coffee straight can enjoy it without waiting a long time to determine if it is burned or not.\n\nReview #2608",
"I have been patiently waiting for this location to open! Avon has been in desperate need for a new coffee place for quite some time now so I was really excited to hear about this place opening! I decided to go on opening day, so even though the line was long, I went in expecting this and knew I'd probably have to wait. Honestly, the friendly, and extremely helpful, staff made the wait not seem so long! The owners were there greeting people and also stepped in to help their staff take orders and deliver food when needed. Their menu here has a ton of options which I loved! Even if you aren't a coffee drinker, they have lots of frappes, smoothies and other non coffee drinks. I got one of their speciality iced drinks, a Palomino, which was sweeter than something I would normally order but it was delicious! I also ordered a sandwich with raspberry mayo which wasn't as good as I expected it to be but the bread and toppings were all fresh and I still enjoyed it. Their food menu isn't as extensive as their drink menu, but they have a great list of breakfast, baked goods and lunch options to choose from! Also, their chips really sold me; idk what kind they are but they were fantastic!\n\nI will definitely be back! This is a great new place that isn't far from home!",
"Let me start by saying I'm not a coffee drinker but I was talked into trying the Mississippi Mud Frappe. It was delicious. Great place, great prices, great people. I will be stopping in alot.",
"Great coffee roasted right on site! Great atmosphere with both inside and outside seating. The biscuits and gravy were really good with a nice peppery kick. Pastries all looked beautiful and the one I had was delicious!",
"Excellent coffee, had the medium roast. My Sausage & egg on a bagel was very good also. The atmosphere is very comfortable and staff friendly and helpful.",
"Best coffee I've ever had!! Love the sticker to cover the hole while driving also!! Great service and great prices!! Frappes and iced lattes are awesome also!!! Try the Abilene Blended Frappe!!!",
"Tried this new establishment for the first time today for lunch. The place was clean, the employees were friendly and the food was good. However, I paid $2.65 for an iced tea only to find they don't refill tea without a full price charge. Very disappointing considering similar local establishments refill tea without hesitation or a fee. I understand if this was a specialty drink but it was simply an iced tea. I won't return until this policy changes.",
"Great coffee, food-meh. All of their food items look previously frozen. I saw the sausage gravy and it looks like gravy with a few morsels of sausage. If you are into low carb, grab a coffee and eat somewhere else. Same goes for a Keto diet. If you want a bagel sandwich, travel east to Big Apple Bagels. They make their own bagels. Everything looks microwaved here.",
"Really enjoyed this coffee place! Even though there are a litany of options, I decided to go with a light roast coffee with caramel flavoring - I added a bit of cream and a packet of sugar and it was perfect. My friend ordered a turtle mocha - said she loved it but it's very sweet. \nThe atmosphere is really warm and inviting with friendly staff to boot! I'm looking forward to coming in and trying more drinks, as well as some of their food options!\nWe were in for two hours on a Thursday afternoon and the place was packed the entire time! The back seating area seems ideal for getting work done if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise, it's a great stop for socializing and good coffee!",
"Just on the cusp of being rural, Cabin Coffee was welcomed to the community with lots of excitement and interest. And it was fairly well-deserved! I'm especially glad that the former Ritter's location (I'm still very sad it's gone...) is no longer the eyesore it was becoming. The building is bright, clean, and cozy. Overall western/rustic chic feel, with lots of associated goodies to buy inside. The staff is overall very friendly and accommodating, with the occasional absentminded teenager (he asked if I wanted a receipt, I said \"yes, please,\" and he said, \"okay!\" and then immediately threw it in the trash, then unintentionally ignored me when I tried to ask about the rewards card - lol!). There are cute dog leash hooks on the outside, so you can enjoy a coffee date with your best friend. Right at the intersection of new and old 36, it's perfectly situated to get a drive-through order on your way to work in Avon or Indy.\n\nThe goods! Cabin's most unique item is their white coffee. I haven't fully brushed up on the process, but supposedly super caffeinated. I have had both the Palomino and a special berry drink. Both had an overall milky flavor and touch of sweetness. I'm not yet sure what to think of these, but I will order again. If you don't like coffee flavor and need a boost, these are the drinks to try. They have a variety of breakfast items including croissant and bagel sandwiches. I recommend the berry biscuit - a little nest of berries in a biscuit with drizzle of icing. I haven't gone for lunch yet, but they do have lunch options. Drive-thru service speed is pretty good compared to other drive-thrus offering coffee/breakfast. My main negative with Cabin Coffee is the price; it's on par with Starbucks and possibly higher. A nice treat, but not an everyday expense for me. Would be a good place to meet up with friends, especially is the weather's nice and you can enjoy the patio."

"I love being the first to review a new business and it is such an honor to review a business that could well become the premier tap rom of the Funk Zone. \n\nCaptain Fatty's has been a favorite in Goleta for years and quickly outgrew their original taproom. Here they have a great space that is open and will be able to handle the crown that I'm sure will frequent this great business. \n\nI was surprised to see that it is named The Project but I'm sure the locals won't be swayed from calling it Captain Fatty's. I was also surprised to see so many familiar faces working. Great friends from other favorite SB beer places. \n\nWhile I missed the long anticipated opening, day three still brought out a dozen local beer enthusiasts who were in the taproom enjoying Preston's awesome beers. \n\nI had the Shipwreck Belgium Tripel which was delicious. \n\nOne great asset is that Corazon Cocina is attached and will provide all the great food we enjoy at the Public Market with an expanded menu.",
"We stopped by the project to see what the fuss was about because it wAs so crowded. I understand they just opened but they need to get their stuff together. It was a hot mess. Manager and front desk was running around with their head cut off. Something about system wAs down and you couldn't order food. Concept seemed cool and great location. I hope they can get more organized.",
"The restaurant up front was absolutely awful and unsatisfying. Undercooked fries and minimal portions that were enough for a skinny 85lbs girl. In other words, overestimated for the price and yet another boujee spot that disappoints. Save your time and money. And the vibe was worse...like being at a frat party.",
"I know this place is brand new so I might have to revisit later on, but I'm honestly pretty shook right now. I paid 17$ (with tip) for two tacos. I paid 6$ for a sweet potato taco, it had 3 pieces of sweet potato. Only 3 pieces. The majority of every bite was just tortilla. It was very pretty, but certainly not a 6$ taco. The other taco I got was the skirt steak taco, 8$. It had the smallest dollop of guacamole, a minimal amount of steak and was primarily un-flavored beans. They don't give you any chips or salsa or anything to redeem the fact that I just spent 17$ on mediocre tacos. Maybe they're still getting their act together, but man this was bad.",
"Captain Fatty's never disappoints! Phenomenal beer and great staff. I love what they did with the place and I am sure they will be very successful. I have not tried the food place in the front yet, will likely give them a few weeks to iron out the kinks before trying it. It's the same owners as corazón Cocina at the public market and the food there is excellent!\n\nDefinitely recommend checking out the brewery, you will not be disappointed.",
"It was fun to try a new restaurant in the funk zone, especially one with such a cool vibe and a lovely outdoor patio. They did a fantastic job with the property refurb upfront and especially in back (Captain Fatty's brewery). While the food quality was good, I must agree with other reviewers that the end product was too little for too much, and that was with my trying a daily special taco for $7.5 (the cheapest thing on the menu by far) A canned soda was $3...that's fair as I should be drinking water. Mony's Tacos may not have nearly the cool vibe in as nice of a spot, and their offerings are limited, but they make excellent tacos for 1/3 to 3/8 the price, only a block away. It's why they're always packed to the gills ... value sells. Still, having some variety for lunch in funk zone is pleasant; and so i'll try this place at least twice more. The funk zone remains super hot, but caution restauranteurs that it's not this hot for this price. Here's hoping the Project, and other new funk zone restaurants (yeah talking about you Tyger Tyger, Schaloobs, The Nook) don't price themselves out so they go the way of the two previous businesses in the same location as The Project.",
"Food was good service was chaotic but it was opening night so can't expect too much from them. The staff was just so unorganized but the drinks even limited options made up for the waits and wrong orders.",
"I am pretty disappointed with the Corazona Cocina at The Project. I have been to their location in the public market and have really enjoyed their fresh fish and unique take on Mexican cuisine. I suggested coming to The Project because I love Captain Fatty's calypso sour and I was excited to check out this new unique spot while enjoying some delicious Mexican food. The service here was so scattered, I felt like there was really no one around to help out when we needed something. For starters, the menu here is a condensed version from the Public Market menu, they have all of the taco options but only a few starters. We ordered the Maiz and chips and salsa to start. I also ordered the Ensenada taco. All of the food was actually super tasty and it didn't take too long for the food to come out which was nice! The tacos were a bit pricey, but they are pretty filling so that was a bonus. My main issue was with the service. The server brought us a carafe of water for 4 people, we filled our glasses with the one carafe and were not given any more water refills after. We also were not provided with napkins at the table and it took quite sometime after asking to get napkins. I am really hopeful that once the Corazona Cocina gets its feet on the ground then the service will be equally as high of quality as their food. \n\nI am super excited about this spot, and hope that the service gets better with time (I am sure it will).",
"Flavourful and perfectly cooked vegan taco. Very creative ingredients put together so well. There was an over abundance of staff but it's a new place.",
"The staff is very nice, drinks are amazing, and the food was decent. I don't usually review restaurants, but I thought it was important for those that have food allergies or food sensitivities. There is wheat in the \"corn\" chips/tortillas, making them not gluten free. They have blue tortilla chips that are \"gluten free\", but I was informed there is still a trace of gluten in them. The steak I ordered is marinated in soy sauce. I had to ask 3 different people about what was actually in my food after I ordered because when I ordered the server did not mention any of that (even after I had informed her of my allergies). The server was very sweet and kept coming over to check on us, I just think it's important for the manager and/or owner to inform the staff on food allergies and how to properly handle them. If you have life threatening food allergies or sensitivities I would avoid this restaurant until their entire staff is on board about every ingredient you may eat/come in contact with."

"Waiting for this place to open has been torture, but they're finally here! Haven't even gotten to the Boards or Panini, and that's because the \"Snacky Things\" were so bomb! I highly recommend the Tuna Tartare and the Meatballs & Goat Cheese (for real, you'll be spooning up the delicious pomodoro sauce!). \nI haven't even got to the wine, beer and cocktail list. Servers were hella cool about helping me pair which wines went best with what I ordered. \nAtmosphere? Great music with an open air option when it's nice out (uh, we're in Tucson...it's always nice! Especially in Feb/March). \nDo check it out...decent parking and centrally located.",
"I was lucky enough to go to the soft opening and let me tell you... IT IS SO GOOD. Only beer and wine with so many different modern italian appetizers, bruschettas, paninis, and salads. Please do yourself a favor and visit this place! It is so good and the staff was so friendly. I look forward to enjoying this restaurant in the future!",
"If the new Postinos on Grant is even close to how great everything was yesterday, it is a sure hit! The soft opening made loyal fans out of us already. the three of us started everything off with a peach Bellini! And we ordered everything to share. Favorites? The sauce on the Cauliflower appetizer made it a healthy and tangy starter. Try the Board - you get to choose any four (all great) and they slice them each into four pieces for easy sharing. the avocado toast with egg for brunch was above any I've ever had. \nAnd save room- oh man, the chocolate dessert with vanilla ice cream and the smooth flan were share worth and so worth it! And I NEVER even like or order dessert! Great addition time mid- town dining. \nWe cannot wait to go back!",
"Incredible! Everything we ordered was amazing. The bruschetta board was the highlight- perfect for sharing. The fried cauliflower is like no one else's. And the avocado toast is so much better than the usual you find other places. Amazing and unique flavor combinations abound. And $5 glasses of wine and pitchers of beer before 5! Great for brunch and happy hour in a laidback and modern feel.",
"Went to the soft opening for brunch and all the food was amazing. I've been to the Gilbert Postino and this one is very comparable. They both have excellent food. We had the tuna tartare and ricotta fritters to start. The dips for the ricotta fritters are just sooo good. It's the perfect brunch appetizer. The tuna tartare was phenomenal, the pine nuts really made it. We had bruschetta of course with: Brie-Apple-fig, sweet n spicy pepper jam-goat cheese, burrata-bacon-arugula-tomato, and they gave us the wrong bruschetta so we ended up with the salami-pesto as well as the smoked salmon-pesto. All of the bruschetta were amazing my favorite was the sweet n spicy pepper jam goat cheese. We also had the butchers block, the asparagus was so food, the meat and cheeses, nuts everything was delicious and flavorful. Wine is $5 until 5, which is amazing. The Sauvignon bland and Riesling I had were both good. My boyfriend had 2 different reds that he loved and my friend had a mimosa. We finished off with the crème brûlée, tasty of course. The staff was so friendly and there was decent parking. There are lots of window inside which give great natural lighting. I liked that they had a little paper to spit your gum, we found it with the sugars-cute and funny.",
"Who doesn't get excited for bruschetta? First of all I have been waiting for this since they announced they were opening one here in Tucson. I cannot believe it's finally here. For an opening the service was fantastic and there was no chaos. How does a place make me love tomatoes so much when in reality it isn't my favorite. Every ingredient use taste fresh and of high quality. Go before 5pm and their drink specials are fantastic. The location is fantastic and the setting itself it beautiful. Mostly all natural light comes in through these huge glass window panes. It's all about the views of the setting sun. I can't wait to go back",
"Went to Postino Grant last Sunday night and what an awesome experience! From the minute we walked in thru the back entrance we were greeted with smiles and felt very welcome. We were with a large group and they seated us at a comfortable table that could easily accommodate. The first thing that struck me was the gorgeous cozy atmosphere, the second was the friendly staff...and then came the food! I love the family style of this restaurant and how you order lots of things for the table. It was not only beautiful but so delicious. We had the grilled cheese, tuna melt, bruschetta boards, salads, and lots of other yummy items. Also very impressed with the unique wine list especially the by the glass options. The list is smart and diverse. There is also a private bottle list that Quin the manager helped us with. And a few words about Quin. As busy and bustling as it was that night of soft opening Quin had a huge smile for everyone and seemed to attend to all patrons with ease. He had a great understanding of the wine and food offerings and really kept the party rolling! Any questions that came up from employees he seemed to handle very effectively while keeping moral and energy up. Can't wait to go back, loved it!",
"This place is amazing, everyone is super friendly food is amazing. Must try. That $5 til 5 is everything drink up",
"This place has the best gluten free options I have seen in town. The paninis are great and the artichoke dip appetizer is my favorite. They have a terrific beer and wine list and the service is amazing. Go check it out!",
"I had the pleasure of going to Postinos over the weekend and had an amazing experience. My friend and I shared the bruschetta board, there were so many choices they have something for everyone. They also have an amazing wine by the glass list with various varietals that you wouldn't find everywhere. If you aren't sure about it seriously ask the staff they are super helpful. I am not sure exactly who was serving us because several people were constantly checking on us- but we weren't lacking for anything. The manager Quin stopped by and was super friendly and helpful with all of our questions. Him along with everyone else we're very friendly and added to our excellent experience. Can't wait to go back."

"The 2nd location for Three Brothers Pizza. Only been open at thIs location for week. \nPizza was delicious. Thinner New York pizza. \nWe also split a house salad, which was crisp and had tomatoes, cucumbers, olives & pickled red onions. \nWe were blessed with a sample of their ricotta gnocchi. Very tender in a buttery cheesy sauce with bacon. \nWe ate our meal there. The staff is very friendly. We usually do take out for pizza but was nice to spend time checking out the new place.",
"Wanted pizza that craving hits I'm a New Yorker after all so I went on yelp and saw it had great ratings. The pIzza deserves great ratings it was authentically perfection! The staff well Joe was a delightful guy ! They brought out some ricotta gnocci to try it was light deliciousness melts in the mouth. Service awesome. Well me the go to pizza place!",
"Had to try the new place where Queens Pizza used to be. Stopped by at lunch, 2 slices and a drink for under $6. Great family-owned. Super friendly. The best pizza I have had in this area. Loved the crispy, yet chewy, crust The sauce was smooth and rich, definitely a family recipe. The grandfather who waited on me said all of their menu is homemade. They have another location in Odessa and just opened here last week. I will absolutely return and highly recommend.",
"Been looking for some Great Pizza and finally found it! Stop by and try a slice you won't be disappointed. Friendly staff great customer service a must try!",
"Just had dinner last Sunday at 3 Brothers Pizza tonight. Nick (One of the owners) greeted us at our table and was very cordial and made us feel very welcomed. After discussing some of the items on the menu, my husband and I decided to try the \"Everything\" Pizza. I told Nick I definitely would come back and try his recommendation of the Gnocchi because we were really wanting to try his Pizza. To our surprise, Nick brought us a sample serving of the Gnocchi along with a sample of his Balsamic Eggplant appetizer. Let me just say that the Homemade Ricotta Gnocchi seared in butter and topped with Alfredo sauce were the best tasting \"pillows\" of heaven that I have ever eaten! The Balsamic Eggplant topped with Fresh Mozzarella, roasted peppers, and balsamic reduction was additionally excellent. My husband and I also really enjoyed the New York style pizza with a generous amount of toppings, fresh mozzarella and fresh sauce. Let's welcome this new little Pizza place to the area and please give them a try...you won't be disappointed!!! The Owners along with the service were fantastic....and I cannot wait to go back and order the Gnocchi again!!! Yummy!",
"Pizza: A\nService: C-\n\nWould definitely get take out as the pizza is very good but the service was very poor. Maybe some kinks to work out after opening a new location.",
"Im from jersey and I know pizza. A friend of mine reccomended this place & it was amazing. The pizza was thin & crispy just the way I like it. It had the right amount of seasoning & sauce. I will be back again soon to experiencegreat pizza!",
"First time trying this place & we did a take-out, pizza only. We like to take baby steps with new pizza places because we've been disappointed too many times. HIGHLY impressed all around. When I called in the order, Alex was more than pleasant & helpful! Pizzas were ready for pickup at the designated time. So far so good....but how was the pizza?\n\nIt's the real deal! Crust was perfect, the sauce was perfectly spiced. And we were pleasantly surprised that they had cup & char pepperoni! (Small curled pepperoni with crispy edges.). Yep they nailed it!!\n\nLooking forward to a dine-in meal to try their entree's & pasta very soon! Couldn't be happier with our first experience! Keep up the good work, guys!",
"Stopped in after reading rave reviews and figured I'd give it a try. It was good, but not great. The dough was perfectly thin and crisp but not crunchy if that make sense. The toppings were good, the sauce needed help to me but other than that it's a cool place. Stopped back in for a couple of slices and a drink a few days later and their pizza by the slice is smaller than the other shops around that you get a huge slice, these were a from a 14\" pizza maybe cut into 8 slices. If I'm in the area I'd stop by but wouldn't make a special trip for it.",
"Great pizza! Love the one in Odessa and had to turn the sons on to the newest one near there home in Palm Harbor. Will said hi as soon as we walked in and Keith came out from the back to personally great us. Great portobello mushroom pie. Lacks ambiance but just like a neighborhood pizza joint in NY. Wish you guys had beer and wine! We will be back! Good luck here guys! We want you to succeed!!!"

"I attended their training event earlier this week and received a free poke bowl and a sample of their dole whip. I am very impressed with the establishment. The owners and the employees were all super friendly. They went out of their way to interact with my friend's daughter which, to me, shows their hospitable nature. \n\nThe bowls were so good! I got tuna, salmon and tofu. The fish was extremely fresh. I chose the wicked wahine sauce and it was a sweet heat, but not too much heat... really tasty, try it! They have a lot of ingredients and toppings.. I regret not getting a photo of the prep station. The OG vegetable are soo good and I tried my friends pickled veggies...equally good! Gonna have to go a few times to resist piling all the flavors on one bowl. The dole whip was anpineapple mango (I believe) swirl and was so refreshing! I can definitely get a fix without going to Disney which is great.\n\nThe atmosphere is super chill with surfboards on the wall and a little Adirondack sitting area up front. I think this spot is going to get a good bit of my business especially since they said it'll be on uber eats.",
"If your looking for a Poke Bowl in Wesley Chapel/New Tampa this your spot. The Dole cups are a refreshing alternative to ice cream. I love the mango/pineapple swirl. They offer fresh ingredients with options for any taste bud. I love the fact they have octopus which many places do not. The spicy tuna and ahi tuna are delicious. I got the spring mix which is a great alternative for the carb conscious. The staff is friendly and suggested a different sauce, spicy mayo, which I love.",
"I was able to visit Island Fin Poke on their very first training day. The line was SUPER long and for good reason! Training their associates meant free poke bowls while supplies last. The owners as well as the rest of the employees were extremely kind and courteous. The food was DELICIOUS. Tons of toppings to choose from including some I have never found at other poke places (picked daikon). The portion size was very large, you might not be able to finish and end up taking some home as they really pile on the toppings (two thumbs up). Island Fin Poke also offers Dole Whip!! This really sets them apart from other poke joints in the neighborhood. The interior was spotless and I enjoyed the decor. They made sure to tell us that my baby was the very first to use their high chair; we got a kick out of that. If this place is able to maintain the caliber of work that we experienced on training day, I'm sure they will last in this location. Can't wait to visit again.",
"Very friendly staff. Clean. Great customer service. I got to pick 3 proteins. So many mix ins and toppings. I loved vegetable pickles especially daikon radish. Definitely coming back.",
"This was the first time we have had a Poké bowl and the staff was extremely helpful. The food was delicious and we will be coming back again, plus they have dole whips!",
"I start off by saying that this place has great potential, and I'm hopeful that future visits here will be much more enjoyable. What makes me so hopeful is that I was incredibly impressed by the customer service. I came in last night to an empty restaurant and was promptly greeted by two friendly, eager employees. One of them kindly reviewed the menu options, and explained the sauces, etc. She even kindly offered me a sample of their dole as I waited for them to call the business owner about some questions. However, there were several hiccups along the way, including the incorrect use of a bowl that then did not have an appropriate lid and caused the need to plastic wrap my to-go bowl that ended up shifting in the car ride home. Admittedly I was also a little underwhelmed by the menu options, as I had hoped for more options and fresher quality but all in all the food was good and fairly priced.",
"i had never tried poké before and i was nervous i wouldn't like it but the lady helped me choose which sauces and items to add to bowl to help me create a delicious bowl. after my friend and i sat down to eat she came over with some Dole whip for us to try and i was very impressed. good food and service. i will be returning.",
"great food, lots of toppings to choose from, very fresh seafood. very friendly staff and very clean! we will be back",
"I have been 3 times since it has open! I love this place! The staff is so sweet and eager to help! Best Poke in the area for sure! So happy to have one of my favorite foods so close by!",
"Move over traditional sushi places, there's a new concept in town. Have you tried poke? Did you know it's pronounced pokie? I didn't until recently and I consider myself a very diverse foodie. Oh well, it's ok to still live and learn at the same time! \n\nLet's talk bowls because that's the whole concept here. Think of Chipotle but with different ingredients. Octopus anyone? Shrimp? Spicy tuna? Yep, you heard me right. I did say this place is a sushi lovers dream. All fresh ingredients, home made sauces and healthy, low carb and non meat alternatives available for you. I really loved the spicy tuna and piling my bowl high with all of the toppings I can in the table. My oldest son loves the shrimp & octopus. \n\nIf sushi isn't your thing come out for a refreshing Dole Whip. Amazing flavors like pineapple, orange creamsicle and vanilla are the perfect treat to end your meal."
