"I'm so happy this deli has opened in my neighborhood! The service was friendly and quick. I ordered the brisket sandwich and a bag of chips. The inside is clean and simple. There's skateboard artwork hung on the wall and they are beautiful to look at. They offer various sandwiches, sliders, and salads. I took my to go order home and it came on the softest bun and bbq sauce on the side. The brisket was so tender it was falling apart and didn't need bbq sauce because the meat was flavorful on its own. I used the bbq sauce anyway and my amazing sandwich became one of the best brisket meals I've ever had. I can't wait to try other sandwiches from here!!",
"Food was great! My fiancé and I had the pulled pork an it was delicious. This was my fiancé second time within two days of going. His first time he had the brisket and was raving about how good it was so it enticed me to want to go an I wasn't disappointed. They don't have the biggest menu which is totally fine sometimes to many options is over whelming. Although the sandwich was filling I just wish they had some sides to go with the entrees maybe a combo. Fries or something like that would of been nice to have with the delicious pulled pork. In general the place was very good and the woman working the front was super friendly. They were busy but the orders came out at good pace. We live up the street so we will defiantly be coming again. I would recommend giving them a try.",
"This deli is new in the neighborhood and it is wonderful! The employees were very kind and genuinely happy. It's very clean and fresh. They have fountain Coke products and cans of Pepsi products for purchase. I ordered the chicken slider and the meatball slider. Both were very good! The meatball is giant and delicious - full of flavor! The chicken has a delicious mustard sauce of some sort on top of the pieces of chicken. They had side salads and chips, but I just got the sliders. There's also a few desserts, I believe. Give Bubba's a try!",
"A great new addition to the community. The meatball sandwich was delicious, but the brisket was to die for. We will definitively make Bubba's a regular spot.",
"Great addition to the community. Meatball Sandwich was delicious and the brisket was to die for!",
"First time here, fast & friendly service. I will be back to try the brisket & pot roast sandwich for sure. I had the Chicken Club, the cheese & sauce for this sandwich is an excellent choice. My husband had the sliders, I tried all of them too. So good, yummy sliders. Great neighborhood deli for hot sandwiches.",
"This place is the real deal. New deli that just popped up on my sando radar. We are truly blessed in St Louis to have such great, authentic Deli's. I had the beef brisket sandwich and the BF had the pot roast sandwich. Both had great taste and portion size. We scarfed the both of them down stat. \n\nCute place in a nice South St Louis neighborhood. Try it before the line snakes around the block.",
"What a great new deli!!! Had the Pot Roast Sandwich and it was amazing! My wife had the Chicken Club which was delicious! Also sampled my son's sliders and they were fantastic as well! If you are in the area and need to grad a quick lunch or across town and looking for a great sandwich. You need to go to Bubba's Deli, you won't be disappointed!!!",
"After many months of waiting, my kids finally (and my wife and I)got the chance to eat here, especially since we live literally on the same block as them. I had the Brisket sandwhich and it was extremely delicious! The meat was so tender and flavorful it melted like butter in my mouth. My wife had the pot roast sandwhich & it was a meal of itself. Kids had a meatball slider, which they both enjoyed. The only down side was prices were not listed anywhere & next time we'll be taking the sandwiches to go and eating sides at home.",
"This place is the bees knees! Amazingly delicious and unique deli style sandwiches at a good price. They even run a happy hour deal 2-4pm to save you even more money. The chicken club was fantastic, loved the brioche bun and the sauce they put on it."

"I've been living in this neighborhood for a couple years, but I have to say this restaurant satisfied my craving of asian food. Unlike other asian restaurants in IV, this place provides the bay area/oc atmosphere. If u want a quick asian food grab, highly recommended.",
"Great food great service, best spot in IV, Jason was the best server I've ever had, like wow",
"10/10 service and food. I got the curry beef udon with egg and the quality of the food was really good. Special shoutout to our server Jason",
"Good atmosphere and the employees are all really nice. The portions are really filling and would definitely recommend this new place if you want some good Asian food in IV. Shoutout to our server Jason, 10/10",
"Highly recommend this place! IV is in a constant shortage of good Asian food and this is a step up from your average restaurant! The portions are large and the quality of the meat is great! My favorite is the garlic beef rice plate and I love that you are able to add your own amount of soy sauce/teriyaki sauce to fit your own taste. Will definitely be a returning customer!",
"Good atmosphere, all the workers are really friendly and nice. Depending on what you get, it can be a lil pricey, but its definitely worth the $$. I got their beef curry rice with cheese and it was really good. (Defs get an egg too) overall, its a great experience!!",
"10 out of 10 would most definitely recommend cuz Jason shen's cute ass is working there and also food is good too",
"Times visited: 4 \n\n1st: 1x Garlic Pepper Beef Plate + Takoyaki\nPlate is good. I recommend adding the Chili Powder and Garlic Shoyu is when mixing it to add some more flavor. Takoyaki is the soft kind (more chewy than crispy) it's decent for the price. \n\n2nd-3rd time: 2x Garlic Pepper Beef Plate each\nSame opinion. I've been adding more chili power. Shit is good. \n\n4th time: 1x Calamari. 1x Cheese French Fries\nGreat as snacks at 9 PM while waiting for laundry. Calamari is crisp and tasty. Fries are well seasoned. Will order again! \n\nHonestly one of the best new restaurants in IV that opened in Fall'19. Price is reasonable (when comparing to San Francisco prices of similar foods). Food is pretty good, especially going into the colder weathers. \n\nI think my biggest praise is how hard the workers have been working to hone their customer service skills. \n\nWill update review as time goes on.",
"服務唔錯啦，但係嘢食其實冇expect咁好食，點咗牛肉烏東同埋芝士咖喱牛肉烏冬，牛肉新鮮嘅程度。同埋份量其實唔係好夠。",
"I love this place and highly recommend it! There aren't very many Asian food options around the area but this place is one I'll keep on my radar because it hits the spot every time. Compared to the Bay Area location, the quality of the meat is just as good but I do feel that the meat portions are just a bit smaller. The food comes out pretty fast and I like that I'm able to customize the flavor to my liking with the condiments on the table(eg. garlic shoyu, teriyaki sauce, and black pepper). Given that they are a newly opened restaurant, I understand that their customer service/servers are still in training but it is pretty solid(shoutout to Charlie! and Jason! for the excellent customer service). However, I would prefer not to be asked if I wanted water every minute or so and if they changed their cups to reusable cups to be more environmentally friendly. \n\nFor a first timer, the menu could be overwhelming since there are so many yummy options to choose from! I'd recommend the Curry Beef Udon(!!), Curry Beef Rice with Cheese, and Garlic Beef Pepper Rice :)"

"It's been open 6 days. Used to be Miller's Crossing. In Hog Hollow on Olive. I went in ~2 p.m. today (July 13) for a late lunch.\n\nI was offered a \"soft opening\" menu, silverware and napkins upon arrival, once I said I was eating at the bar -- taking a lead from Steven B.\n\nOrdered a half-rack of ribs (~$13). Comes with two sides: I got cottage cheese and green beans. Nice that side offerings were more than the standard ho-hum barbeque sides. But they had cole slaw, baked beans, French fries and other standard sides.\n\nIt didn't take long (I was reading and not being attentive to time.) for my hot meal to come out. The ribs were hot, the green beans were hot. The cottage cheese was in its own bowl (which was bountiful) and was cold.\n\nYUM food!\n\nThe ribs were sauced, but not heavily, and I think they must have been rubbed, too. Quite tasty and really meaty. Also, cut halfway down, so I didn't have to do a whole bunch of yanking and pulling.\n\nThe green beans were crunchy and seasoned so well with I-don't-know-what.\n\nThe cottage cheese was -- well, it was cottage cheese -- but so good AND cold AND a generous portion.\n\nI had great service and attentiveness from Pam.\n\nI took half of the meal home.\n\nP.S. I went the next day, too. I like it that much.",
"We have been eager to try StackHouse Pub and Grill. Our first visit was a huge disappointment. Arrived about 7:00, the place was busy but, far from full. Order was taken and drinks delivered right away. From there our experience took a turn for the worst. Waited forever for our food. Our waiter came by a couple times to say food would be right out. I ordered a burger medium and when it finally arrived it was cooked like a hockey puck. My wife ordered bbq pork and it wasn't much better. We had great expectations, doubt we will be back.",
"I give this place 6 months at best.\n\nI live close by, and try to support local small businesses. We have given Stackhouse 4 chances, and each experience was a bigger disappointment than the last. \n\nAll four times it took over an hour for our food to arrive, including appetizers which always came out after entrees. \n\nOur first visit, it took almost an hour and a half to get our food, and when we were finished another half hour to get our check.\n\nMy last and final visit, the grilled chicken was so dry it was hardly edible and downright grainy. My salad was so wet there was a pool of water in the bottom of my salad bowl. Although the chicken tastes like it had been on the grill for an hour it, still amazes me how it could take an hour for us to get lunch. We were one of only three tables (of two people) in the dining room with a few patrons at the bar. The waitress had attitude, and was barely seen after taking our order.\n\nI really wanted to like this place. I have been dining in this establishment since it was R.L. Steamers. \n\nThe first time I stepped into the Stackhouse the bartender was very rude. I thought they just made a poor choice choosing an old bitchy bartender. I later found out this was an owner! I guess these people like throwing money down the drain. In my four visits I cannot find any positive aspect of this restaurant the food is terrible, the staff is slow, bartenders rude, and even the owners are unfriendly. \n\nI would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. You can have 1 bad experience anywhere, but four consecutive is an indication of poor ownership.",
"Almost skipped this place as they were just hammered with awful reviews upon opening. They seem to have shortened their menu as they work out the kinks any new restaurant experiences. \n\nNachos with pulled pork was deelish! I had a burger and it passed my litmus test for any bar. Pulled pork Sammy was a little dry, but nice flavor. Chesterfield needs local pubs, hope others give it a try.",
"First time. Party of six. I had the brisket sandwich. Melt in your mouth brisket, topped with slaw. This awesome sandwich with tasty sauce was the best brisket I've eaten since traveling in the South. One of us had wings which he enjoyed. Another couple had black and blues (burgers with blue cheese and bacon) and they enjoyed them. Service was prompt and pleasant. We will return!!! Great addition to the neighborhood.",
"Waited until they were open for a couple weeks to experience the real feel of this new restaurant. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. A very limited menu and both choices were a big disappointment. The Black & Blue Burger was tasteless, the beef had no flavor and the little bit of blue cheese also had no flavor. The french fries were good and they came to the table hot. The chicken wings were okay. Our server did a good job under the circumstance...we had the feeling the kitchen was over whelmed, and the dining room was only 3/4 full. We waited a long time before our waitress came to our table and then we waited way too long for our food. Not her fault I am sure. I saw who I thought was the manager or owner hobnobbing with some customers, I think his time would be better spent taking care of the kitchen problems. We will not be returning there, the quarter pounders at McDonald's would definitely have more flavor than experienced at the Stackhouse.",
"Went for a fun date night with my husband. Lately come Friday I am craving yummy wings. I tried their crispy smoked fried wings with spicy BBQ and also a side of buffalo. The service was great and our server answered our questions and helped us make some good choices. I will definitely come again and try their ribs.",
"Been here 1/2 dozen times now since we live almost within walking distance. Limited menu but good food. Suppose to come up with a full blown menu after Labor Day. Ribs are very tasty with LOTS of meat. They have an excellent weekend brunch too but apparently few customers know about it. Went there two weekends in a row and we were the only customers at the time. Best biscuits and gravy in St. Louis in my opinion. Wife loves their stuffed French toast. Wait staff has always been friendly and attentive. We go out to eat virtually every night and this place is a keeper. Glad to have a good restaurant this close to us.",
"First time. Party of six. I had the pulled pork on a hoagie. Melt in your mouth pulled pork, topped with slaw. This awesome sandwich with tasty sauce was the best pulled pork I've eaten since traveling in the South. One of us had wings which he enjoyed. Another couple had black and blues (burgers with blue cheese and bacon) and they enjoyed them. You have a choice of fries, sweet potato fries, mac and cheese, garlic bread, green beans or fruit Service was prompt and pleasant. We will return!!! Great addition to the neighborhood.",
"We tried this place on a weeknight. While our server was friendly, she was also scarce. It was about 20 minutes from ordering drinks to ordering entrees -- and that was because we flagged her down. The same was true for the rest of this forgettable eating experience: the server just wasn't around. The first beer served to one in our party was wrong -- either not what she ordered or something wrong with their draft system (she reported it tasted off; to this place's credit, it was replaced without argument). I ordered the ribs because that's what you get at a barbecue place, right? Wrong. They were dried out, overdone, and just nasty. I wouldn't serve ribs that gross to someone I hated. My bar for great ribs is that they don't need a sauce -- they're so flavorful on their own (because it's good meat cooked expertly) that the meat and dry rub stand alone. Not so here. I tried drowning the first rib in sauce but just couldn't stomach it, so we sent the entree back for a refund (which, to be fair, was given without argument). The mac n cheese side was lackluster. The only thing I liked were the french fries (mine were crispy, so maybe they actually read reviews and revise since I see many here complained about soggy fries), and I can go elsewhere with better service and better entrees for good fries. My advice: avoid this place, wait for it to close, and try whatever moves in next."

"Just two words to describe the food... BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! No flavor on the pulled pork BBQ sauce or green beans. The cole slaw was ok. The best part of the meal was the Coke Zero, but it cost $2.49 for it. My advice is don't bother.",
"We attended their soft opening .... I believe in this business so I'm going to give them another chance before I write a review.",
"I was impressed with the flavor of the food, really good. We ordered some wings, that I have to said that for me are the best in the area. Also we ordered turkey, brisket and ribs, juicy and with a nice smoked flavor. I recommend this place, give it a try. You will not regret it.",
"Delicious! Lip Smackin Perfection! The brisket was like da*n! The smoked sausage was amazing! The chicken wings were like roll your eyes into the back of your brain amazing! We Will be back for sure! Oh and get you some greens. They have heat and my tastebuds were had a rave!",
"Do not and I repeat do not go here unless you want rude service. There was the guy at the register that was nice but he seemed lost. I was asking a question to the girl that was helping him and she walked away in the middle of me looking her in the eyes and talking to her! We were up to 50$ in our order! We canceled and went down the street. Also they sell a full slab and 2 sides for 26.99. The sides are smaller than kfc. I asked about upgrading the sides and they said buy the slab with no sides for 25.99 and get the next level up in sides for 5.99 ea. Yeah bye",
"We placed a simple order via phone (2 orders of 10 wings) for pick up 55 minutes later. When we arrived the order had not even been started yet the staff was happy to accept payment before informing us of that fact. 25 minutes later, after serving 5 others at the to go counter, our order was ready. so a two star rating for horrible service and attitude. The good news is that the wings were absolutely delicious. I am giving it another try with a delivery order to try some other meats. I realize that things are tough with a new opening. As a suggestion try coordinating with the fire station next door and provide our first responders with some meals. Great opportunity to train and exercise your staff and build rapport in the community. and no I am not a firefighter.",
"Great food! Wonderful experience. I was a little leery of going to this new restaurant but it was a fantastic treat! The meat, sides, sauces and wings were all flavorful. I will be going back for sure. Great service too. \n\nI asked Ray the cashier how the Brunswick stew was because I am very particular about the quality of stew. He told me if I didn't like it, he would replace it. Apparently, he was watching me and came out from behind the counter when my food arrived to make sure I was happy. Great customer service. By the way, the stew was fantastic. It was a little different from what grew up on, but this was even better.",
"It's so refreshing to have young people know about the place where they work, especially when the place is new. Ray the cashier did a great job explaining the different items and made fantastic recommendations. We had 6 smoked wings which were great!! And the pull pork sandwich, which was moist and had good flavor. The sauces are good . I personally liked the low country which was a mustard and vinegar base sauce! The sides we had were green beans cooked the old fashion way with meat in it, collard greens , excellent , cole slaw which was a vinegar base and mayo, yum and my wife had the Brunswick stew which was full of veggies and meat! Several of the staff were actively working the dining area and all were exteamly polite and asked about how we like the food. I hope they keep this up. Mason was one young man who gave us the histo on the franchise and reassuring us the meat is smoked on the premises which is a huge plus. We will definitely be bsck",
"I feel like I am being generous with the 3 stars, but would like to give them another shot. My husband and I ordered from here and got it delivered - which is why we think it'll taste better if we dine in. \n\nI ordered the two meat platter meal with the pulled pork and the ribs. My sides were macaroni and cheese and baked beans. My husband got the two meat platter as well but with turkey and beef with the macaroni and cheese and hush puppies. The ribs were good and the sweet heat bbq sauce was yummy. It really wasn't anything special to be honest, and they charged us almost $4 a piece for a soda which was all ice. Our total bill was $65 for the 2 platters, 2 sodas, and the corn fritters appetizers.\n\nThe corn fritters were the best part, but I love corn....\n\nI'll try it again and edit my review soon.",
"We attended their soft opening .... I believe in this business so I'm going to give them another chance before I write a review \n\nSo I gave Willie Jewels another shot today for lunch. I ordered from the drive thru. Chicken wing combo (Buffalo) with hush puppies and potato salad. I had a $2.00 off card they gave us from our first visit which I used.... the girl at the window needed help in how to do the discount and the lady who I'm guessing was a manager helped her. I over heard the conversation and the manager was very encouraging to the girl.... which was nice to see. The girl at the window could use som customer service coaching in how to interact with customers HOWEVER ... she was sweet, young and new and she obviously has a great manager backing her up. \n\nSo on the way home I grabbed a hush puppy while driving.... weeelll, I could t stop eating them that's why you don't see any hush puppies in the pic \nThe wings were delicious and HUGE!!! The potato salad was sooooo good and I'm a lil snobby when it comes to potato salad... I did like this one for sure! \n\nWillie Jewels ... y'all have redeemed yourselves!!!! \n\nI wish you all best in your new location here in Riverview!"

"So SO good! Had the Desi Wings, Samosa Chaat, bread basket, Lamb Chettinad, and Chicken Korma. The wings were incredibly crunchy, and every dish was awesome. It was super nice that the dishes came separate from the rice, so you could eat family style or eat your entree yourself. It was not at all spicy, but our waiter said if you want spice they will happily make it hot for you. Everyone was incredibly kind, and I can't wait to go back. Indian food is something the city seriously lacks, and I'm so happy for the addition of this gem to the Westbank.",
"Finally a great Indian place on the Westbank. Traditional Indian Cuisine and quite a good selection. Food was delicious, the naan was excellent. Great space and very friendly staff.",
"Indian food at its best! Finally we got a authentic. Indian food in town. Friendly staff. Excellent service. We will highly recommend this place.",
"This is still a really new place and they definitely have some kinks to work out with service and keeping the buffet stocked. It was taking upwards of 20 minutes for items that had run out on the buffet to get restocked so certainly that is an area for improvement. The service was also very inconsistent and it took quite a while to get a drink refill. The food was very well spiced and at a generally higher level of spice than the other area Indian food restaurants in the area. \n\nOverall I enjoyed the food but for the moment I would advise to order off of the menu if you are in any kind of hurry.",
"Finally the Westbank has a great place to get Indian food! The wait was a bit long, but it was totally worth it.",
"Very good food there enjoyed it I will go again great place to go eat Indian food. In Grenta by the mcdonalds across from the mall.",
"Fantastic. Went here for lunch and really enjoyed it. Had the buffet, which had many vegetarian options for me. Food was fantastic, staff was friendly and helpful. Great prices as well. Definitely will return!",
"Delicate, subtle, and delicious Indian cuisine! Last time i enjoyed indian food this good was in New York. This place is hands down the best indian in Metro New Orleans. Nan is thick and soft, spices are not overwhelming like some Indian restaurants in Metro. I ordered the eggplant and a chicken biryana and both were perfectly seasoned, with a light kick. The raita is very balanced and not heavy on the cumin!!! Worth a drive to Gretna!!!",
"Getting good Indian food in NOLA isn't easy, there are not a lot of choices. The food in this place is terrific. Well seasoned and very flavorful.\n\nThe problem is that they are handling too many to go orders. Service was overall very slow despite the abundant wait staff. \n\nAppetizers came after 15 minutes, but the rest of our order took 40 more minutes, which is a lot, particularly as the staff had stopped coming to our table. I asked one of the servers to check and she did nothing. Then I went to the host and asked again and our food came out 5 minutes later. If the wait is going to be long, let the customer know this in advance. \n\nWork out the kinks with your service, please. There has to be a better way. Four stars for the food though. Really nice.",
"The Lunch Buffet, served from 11:30am - 2:30pm was very DELICIOUS. see pics posted. it's so nice to have a unique resturant in city of Gretna. The Service by these young men is incredible, efficient, mannerlt. You wont be dissatisfied, disappointed. Please give this new establishment a try."

"The new st pete location is gorgeous!!! Perfection. We did the soft opening and had a wonderful time. Chef ichiban is a true showman. Precious was great too. Just fabulous!",
"The new store is so amazing! Great staff all around. We usually go to tsunamis but will definitely be coming back here for sure this is our new favorite hibachi restaurant! Our server Precious was very friendly and very attentive to our whole table. Rain has amazing skills and great food. We had a great experience overall.",
"Was fortunate enough to get a table opening night and we will be back! We were greeted promptly by a manager, Ashley, she was awesome! We had a short wait for a table, she lead us to the bar and recommended a great drink and even inquired with the bartender to confirm if I could have it with my allergy. We were seated and a great table and Hanha taking care of us, she didnt miss a beat, can't believe this was opening night, they rocked it! Jacky, another manager even stopped by the table to make sure everything was great! We will be back to Kobe for sure, thinking we will be stopping in for their great happy hour deals!",
"I have been waiting for this location of my favorite Japanese restraurant to open for several years! Went tonight to celebrate a birthday of a friend and this new location did not disappoint. The location is brand new, nicely decorated and we had the best hibachi chef I have ever had Ichiban. We had people at our table with different allergies and he provided an amazing show while making sure to take care of all the food allergies in an seemless way. The chicken has a new teriyaki sauce that gives it a slightly sweet taste and great flavor! Planning to be back to see a Ichiban in two weeks for my birthday! Thank You Kobe!",
"They finally opened and it was worth the wait. Rain was our chef... he was engaging, funny and the food he cooked superseded any Japanese Steak house we have been too. (We have been to a lot of them!). \n\nOn a side note- the interior of the restaurant is very nice!\n\nWe will definitely be back... and asking for Rain!",
"This place just opened up so we decided to give it a try since we had never been to a Kobe before. I am so glad that we did. The service and food were both amazing. Chef Ichiban was entertaining and ensured that our food was perfect. I cannot wait to come back here.",
"Chef Ichiban was absolutely amazing! He had a great sense of humor and maintained conversation all while cooking our dinner. I'm so glad there is finally a Kobe close to me and I can't wait to go back!",
"So happy they open another location close to home. Probably best hibachi around. Love the way they season their food. Love their fried rice, very tasteful. New location is big and spacious. Service was great! Great place to celebrate all occasion or simply wanting to get some good food. Portion are huge so expect to be super full and have left over. Definitely check it out.",
"Couldn't wait to try the new restaurant around the corner from us! I love Japanese hibachi and Kobe didn't disappoint. It's brand new so everything is so nice inside!\n\nWe went in at 5:15 on a Thursday for the early bird and happy hour prices. We waited about 15 min - stopped at the bar while waiting and had some great drinks (bartender was awesome).\n\nWe were seated and like any other hibachi we got soup, salad and then the entree with rice, noodles and veggies. Great portions. Our chef Ichiban was awesome and did a new trick I've never seen! Pikachu! \n\nWill def be back!",
"Went on a Monday night. They were busy. Had sushi at the bar. Excellent! I will make a reservation for hibachi next time I go."

"Great food and great staff! The pork belly appetizer was very well balanced with pickled onions! The acidity of the onions cut through the fat of the pork belly perfectly. The wedge salad was the most thoughtfully created dish, served with iceberg lettuce, radicchio, grilled.onions, and grape tomatoes! Do yourself a favor and get here as soon as possible.",
"Stone House Grill is an amazing new addition to the Chester County area. We were there today for Mother's Day, and Bill and his new staff took great care of us. Food was delicious!! Best of luck on this new venture and we will definitely be coming back.",
"The Kimber Rib-Eye was tender and cooked just right to medium rare, as requested, and the red onion reduction was the perfect accompaniment. You must try the Arancini! It was the best with the provolone croquette's accompanied by a very tasty tomato jam and arugula...one of the more interesting appetizers that I have tried in a very long time. We can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu.",
"New owners for what used to be Kimberton Organic. New owners made a few changes for the better on the inside. They still kept a lot of the brunch favorites, but added some new idea's to the lunch portion of the menu.\nThe burger was cooked as ordered and the side salad was fresh and chilled with a nice dressing. The Cubano type sandwich was ok, but a little on the dry side. Both dishes come with chips, but they do offer alternatives. Parking can be an issue at lunch as the \"people\" that live across from the grill are quite rude and the parking in front and back fills up quickly. They take Visa and MC, no AmEx and it's still BYOB. Nice people and they seem to really want to make sure you're happy with their food.",
"Very nice people but not a place for vegetarian options. Polenta is tasteless and I believe it must be kind of a \"token veggie option\". I'm sure the meat options are better. Considering they are in Kimberton and so many eat organic and vegetarian, it would be a smart business idea to improve those aspects of their menu. I would try it again if they improved their veggie options.",
"The new owners and menu are a refreshing change. Food is creative, thought out and there is something for everyone on the menu. Organic, farm to table style in a great warm and welcoming atmosphere. Vegetarian, Vegan, and Carnivore options abound.",
"A terrific surprise we came across while day-tripping through the country.\n\nDishes are beautifully presented. I recommend the polenta and chicken. Fresh vegetables, locally grown, I believe. Great staff. Lots of natural light for daytime meals, and though I haven't been there in the evening yet, they are bringing in live music on the weekends. \n\nBYOB. Vegan friendly. Clean. More spacious than you think. \n\nDuck in there sometime. Great little hideaway spot.",
"Brunch is incredible! Sean and Natalie were in charge there - run a tight ship. Seriously, it was days ago and we're still talking about it. Can't wait to go back and try the burgers. Menu is awesome.",
"Great place! Service is good and the food excellent. My husband and I shared the Wedge Salad. He got the Sausage Benedict and I had the Ham Benedict. Both were quite tasty.",
"So, when I read the menu online, it comes across as limited and a little fussy, but I kept an open mind. That was a mistake.\n\nHonestly, I was not that impressed. Yes, the staff was kind and pleasant, which one would always expect but the pricing is waaay out of touch with reality. To charge $12 dollars for a wedge salad which is part radicchio (served limp and partially brown), part iceberg lettuce with a standard blue cheese dressing, sprinkle of bacon and small tomato halves is unconscionable. I'm glad I asked to not have the caramelized onions that is part of it because that would have ruined it. Who ever eats a wedge salad with caramelized onions on it? People who order a wedge salad, want just a wedge salad. It means they are not impressed with any other salad being offered. Agree?\n\nOk, so, I ordered the $35 dollar rib eye with mash potatoes. The mashed potatoes were boring. No flavor. Sorry, but this dish is not worth $35. They would be better off serving an 8 oz filet for that price with a reduction demi-glaze. I asked them to withhold the caramelized onions to this dish also, but they decided otherwise and I got the onions whether I liked it or not! LOL!! The bus boy decided to refill my half finished San Pelligrino glass with regular tap water. Very kind of him. In his defense, he's a teenager.\n\nThink twice. Hopefully, it improves over time. Anyone who gives this five stars, I question their integrity. Maybe they are friends and family members of the owners. Kimberton Inn is five stars, not this place."

"This place was very good. I'm always skeptical about new places and try to wait a few weeks before trying. So this being a new place it was very good. Super fast with amazing flavors. I will certainly be back.",
"MORE THAN GREAT! Service on point, reasonable prices and delicious authentic dishes. We tried lots of different tacos and they were all great. My husband's favorite was trompo tacos (al pastor) and mine was arrachera. The meat was exquisite with no chunks of fat, which is awesome. My favorite of all times was the arrachera costra which is basically a tortilla made with just cheese filled with your choice of meat. The people working there are super nice and the kitchen staff is super fast with all the orders. The manager/owner came to chat with us and asked how was everything, super cool guy! On top of that, they have a perfect salsa bar where you can choose your taco toppings... they even have some sort of pico with pineapple (delicious). They do \"get a free taco\" on Tuesdays! This place is a dream for people who appreciate tacos and delicious Mexican cuisine!",
"We tried the street tacos, got an order of each. They were very tasty. Corn tortillas taste freshly made. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu",
"Omg! Soooo good . Thank you for taking the time to explain everything on the menu. I want to try it all. \nI absolutely love the rock taco.. I want it again",
"I loved the Rock Taco so much that I even posted it on Facebook and recommended it.. Everyone wants to try it ..",
"Totally addicted to this place ... I'm back again.. \neverything is so good and the owners are the sweetest at explaining certain items on the menu.",
"THIRD time in a week! Today I tried the Rock Taco and WOOOW. Kind of crispy tortilla (still authentic not like the restaurant with a bell hah) and the meat was juicy and delicious. Then, they give you a bouillon(consomé) to dip the tacos! Every single item in their menu is delicious. Will definitely be there again and again... and again.",
"I had to fend for myself this Wednesday night. The girlfriend was working late and the dog decided to eat her crate's bed. I looked up nearby places on Yelp and Paco's Tacos came up. This former Texan had been looking for affordable authentic tacos for the past 3.75 years! And oh man that cup with that logo. Had to have it.\n\nStepping inside, the TV has some sort of Hispanic music station on and there's stacks of bottled sodas. The waitress was very nice and explained the menu as well as the salsa bar. Pro tip: when they tell you that some items in the salsa bar is spicy, believe them that it's REALLY SPICY. Next to the salsa bar are napkins, take home boxes, as well as wrapped plastic utensil kits that I'm noting because they're fancy and have extra plastic for more rigidity.\n\nI got what I would like to call the Taco Sampler. 5 tacos, one of each meat, for $10. She asked if I wanted onions (yes), cilantro (yes), beans (no), and flour or corn (flour of course). I was the only one at the restaurant at the time and the food took less than 10 minutes to come out. The presentation was on point arranged like a flower with some sort of pickled sweet onions in the middle. Laid out on one of those biodegradable plates.\n\nI really should have asked which taco is which because I have no idea. But each one of them was delicious and unique with it own flavor and texture. I never got a mouthful of fat. The one at the 12 o'clock in my picture was my favorite and I believe that was Arrachera skirt steak. I could already see myself coming back, dropping an Alexander Hamilton, ordering five of that Arrachera, and rolling out happy. I was in onion bliss too, with all that white onion, red onion, that pickled onion. If you hate onions I don't know how you live your life but this marvelous dining establishment may be wasted on you.\n\nThis city churns through many of its restaurants, but I hope this one will succeed and flourish.",
"I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The staff are amazing. So friendly, welcoming, and helpful when it comes to making the right selection. The food was authentic, fresh, flavorful, and just flat out DELICIOUS. My friend and I practically ordered every taco because it was 5 for $10 and the Rockos tacos. I can't express how amazing it was. I've never had authentic tacos in New Orleans that tasted like that. The margarita was amazing also. Way better than a daiquiri. I ordered the prickly pear, it wasn't overly sweet nor overly tangy it was the perfect blend. I can't wait until I visit again! I may go back later on today. The drinks are also served in a souvenir cup. The restaurant was clean and well kept. I loved it. I will only come here for tacos from here on out. Please visit this restaurant you won't be disappointed.",
"The best tacos I've ever had!!! Excellent customer service as well. I ordered to go by phone order and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. I had one of each taco and a quesadilla. The meat was seasoned flavorful and not greasy. I'd eat this every day if I could. Would have pics but it smelled so good I ate it in the parking lot before I pulled off. I tacos I ordered were the taco sampler all 5 meats on corn tortilla with cilantro and onion"

"Went to the grand opening and was very impress at the quality and quantity of food you get. Service was fast and pleasant. Ate the grilled avocados on Texas toast with their egg free potato salad. It was excellent! They have a lot of healthy options. Highly recommend and happy we got another location in the new Tampa area.",
"We finally have a great breakfast spot in New Tampa! Very interesting menu and yummy dishes. So far, I had the Orange Pecan French Toast (amazing) and Joyce had the Tuscan Quiche (delish). We also went for lunch and I thought I ordered the best item when I chose the Raisin Pecan Chicken Salad sandwich, but when I tasted Joyce's Brunchery Sandwich, I said Wow! Give the place a try as the service is very good as well...",
"New breakfast spot , was absolutely amazing. The had the chorizo Benedict and chorizo skillet was soooooo good. Lotsa flavor and the staff was very polite.",
"The Brunchery is a new desayuno joint in New Tampa. It occupies the former Boston Market in the Starbucks/Orange Theory plaza adjacent to the AMC Highwoods 20. Brunchery is next door to Moe's.\n\nThey are open from 7 am - 2pm and serve breakfast and lunch items.\n\nPros:\nThe white/black decor. It is clean and modern. I like first Watch but it feels a bit dull as a brown guy to go sit around in brown furniture (I can do that at home lol)\n\nMy server Jimmy was very warm and curious as to how I liked my meal. He kind of reminds me of a younger Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World (K-I-T-T or Kitt if you prefer?)\n\nI ordered the Orange Pecan French Toast ($9.25). It was 3 pieces of FT with orange flavored cream cheese and garnished with pecan fragments. It was very filling and had a different flavor profile. I wished it had more pecans personally.\n\nI got my food in less than ten minutes. The place was clean and the hostess lady even gave me a free piece of baklava which was cool. Prices are commensurate with places like first Watch and Keke's ($8-12/ person)\n\nMisc.\nI feel that their specialty pancake selection is less than first watch or Keke's. They had regular, pumpkin,and ones with fruit IIRC. They have egg related things, crepes, and other items so you wont be struggling to pick something. I am biased towards specialty pancakes and I saw on another brunchery menu things like \"coconut pancakes\" so I was a little dismayed that this branch doesnt have them. If you're not a pancake guy/gal, disregard this paragraph.",
"Great service and good food. We visited the day after they opened for brunch and were not disappointed. Jimmie, our waiter was delightful and checked in to make sure we were doing well. There is plenty on the menu to choose from but the French toast was great, a little heavy on the powdered sugar for me but still tasty. The grits were how I measured things up. They were creamy and hot. I will be visitIng again.",
"I was told when we got there that a table for 3 wait time is 20 minutes, after 20 minutes I asked how much longer I was told by the same person another 20 minutes and there were 7 people ahead of us . I asked her why she didn't tell me earlier it was more time to wait then 20 minutes, she and another girl explained that some people are finished but are still talking thus the wait.I told her she should have told me it's 35 to 40 minutes wait to begin with , that's a big difference from 20 minutes. I stood by the check in desk and I heard her told other people that wait time is 35 to 40 mins I want back outside to wait again because I received a phone call, while on the phone a party of 3 were called , these people were there after us, so I told my husband to check and was told another 20 minutes, so we left . I guess we will not be coming back.",
"Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. Food is good, with one major complaint. If you like your breakfast potatoes without onions you are out of luck. No option for potatoes without onions. Aside from that, a nice addition to the New Tampa breakfast options.",
"This is for the location in new tampa that just opened. I'm willing to go back in a couple months and see if they work out the kinks but right now I wouldn't really recommend it.\n\nTo start, my husband ordered the chicken tortilla soup. He asked the waitress how it was and she said no one has ever ordered it in the two weeks they have been open. Guess that should've been a sign but he got it anyway. Ate about four bites then got a mouth full of plastic. He thought it was a tomato skin at first but pulled it out of his mouth and it was a piece of saran wrap. Someone probably opened the soup for the first time since no one ever orders it and scooped out some of the plastic wrap into his bowl. They took it off our bill but it was really a bummer because the soup was actually very good.\n\nI ordered a blueberry muffin and the waitress had it griddled and covered in powdered sugar without asking. I don't mind it being warm and griddled but I did not want all that extra sugar.\n\nMy omelet came with avocado and sour cream, and like you would expect the sour cream was on top. The avocado however was inside the omelette and warm and I honestly couldn't tell if it was plain avocado smashed or guacamole. Either way I wasn't a fan but that's just personal preference and I should have asked instead of assuming it was sliced avocado on top. Seasoned potatoes actually have no seasoning and are just boiled potatoes.\n\nLove the biscuits and when I looked around everyone else seemed to be ordering pancakes and waffles so that might be more of their specialty area.\n\nOverall just okay but like I said, I will give them one more try once they aren't \"new\" anymore.",
"A new breakfast spot just opened in the area, and we had to check it out. I had visited The Brunchery in S. Tampa when I first moved here. I don't know if it was the same one, but I do know there's one in Valrico. \n\nI called in first to check the wait and was able to put my name in. It was a Sunday which I know is usually a busy day for breakfast. Once I checked in, I was quite impressed that we were seated very quickly considering the amount of people waiting outside. That was sweet. Calling ahead did work!\n\nMy hubby got the Brunchery skillet, and honestly nothing really called my name so I picked the salmon benedict. You know when you have something somewhere else, and it is so good you want that again. That was me.\n\nBoth our entrees were just ok. I thought his looked like more potatoes then anything else, and he thought it was too salty. I ate mine, but yeah didn't remind me of the last time I had it else where. I did ask for the hollandaise on the side so I can lay it on there myself. I didn't like the salmon grilled. It's smokey already, but the smokey-ness comes out even more and I just felt like there was nothing special about it. I'm happy that I had the sauce on the side and put it on myself too \n\nThis breakfast spot didn't do anything for me. It's hard for me to find a good one locally. \n\nThe server was pretty efficient - Not out of this world amazing and not horrible.",
"The best thing I did was ignore any of these haters and just go see for myself. Staff is cool and food is great. Negative experiences usually come with negative attitude. I'm sorry but after reading the comments their reasons to not rate it 5 stars are just petty. Go visit this business you won't regret it."

"You HAVE to come here! The atmosphere is wonderful whether you sit inside or outside. Inside you have a beautiful fish tank and outside you have amazing views of the water and downtown! \nOrdering the Yucatán shrimp is a no brainer. Make sure to dip your bread into the sauce too!",
"We went for the official opening of the pier. The bartenders are AMAZING! Our server, Kelsey, was exceptional. She took her time to explain everything and give wonderful recommendations (and they were very busy) she was very personable, even with a mask. \nThe food gets a 8 out of 10. But we are assuming they will iron out some things as they are open longer.",
"Great place at the new pier\n\nWent for lunch on day 2. \n\nAsk for Kris. He was an excellent waiter. \n\nI ordered clam chowder. I highly recommend it. Perfect consistency of clams and potatoes. \n\nI also got the award winning fish sandwich with fries. It's got a light batter it was fresh. You want want extra remoulade sauce. I also prefer it with tartar sauce. \n\nI can't wait to go back and try some cocktails. $1 of each cocktails goes to a local charity.",
"Wow!!!! Incredible food and drinks. The service was right on point. You can't go wrong here...",
"Great new spot just off @stpetepier! Great addition to @stpete and step up from the Ft Myers Sanibel locations! LOVE the Yucatán Shrimp and the lime Panko fried fish sandwich! Our new go to place in St Pete after having to drive down to Sanibel so often to visit!",
"It was great to have this as our first lunch at the new pier location. Laura our server was awesome and what an enjoyable lunch. The shrimp was so good along with the rice/beans. The view was amazing! Can't wait to go back and try something different on the menu.",
"The service was stellar with Jared -very attentive, but not overbearing. He was friendly and personable. We sat outside and had beautiful views of the Bay and the pier. Planes flying overhead from St Pete airport and beautiful boats everywhere. Dogs are allowed outside so we'll be coming back with our 2 besties. I had the mussels, and I have to say: I've made and eaten mussels just about everywhere, but the creamy, cilantro and garlic sauce was exceptional. The hubby had the new steak salad; one medallion was perfectly cooked; the other a litte too done for his taste but the quality was great. (Maybe needs a little salt). Service, speed of food delivery was unbelieveable for a restaurant open just 4 days! There's a great outdoor seating area and below that another one on the sand with tables and umbrellas so lots of choices. Place was busy when we left about 1:30 and everyone looked pretty happy ! :)",
"We went to the St Petersburg Pier on Friday July 11th. The Pier had just reopened so it was a busy time. My and my wife went to this restaurant for dinner. When we arrived at the podium we were told that it would be an hour and a half wait before we could be seated, and possibly longer because we required an outdoor seat. We had our dog with us. In the end it took just under two hours for us to be seated, but we didn't mind. \n\nThe restaurant is right on the water so the view was spectacular. My wife had the Penne with shrimp and I had the Cheesesteak sandwich. My wife's Penne was delicious, and well seasoned. My cheesesteak sandwich had nice crusty bread, very tender and well cooked steak with sautéed unions, peppers, and mushrooms. The fries were seasoned and cooked to perfection, nice and crisp. The server brought us a bowl of water for our pooch. For desert we shared a slice of carrot cake. It was moist, and tasted spectacular. \n\nNeither me nor my wife drinks so we can't review the alcoholic libations, but the bar was doing a very brisk business. I had sweet tea and my wife had ice water. \n\nIn the end the total bill came to a reasonable $50 and change. About average for this type of restaurant.\n\nI would have given them five starts if the wait had been more reasonable. In their defense the did warn us it might be longer than the quoted time. Also they had only reopened a few days previous to our visit. So they were still dealing with an unexpectedly huge demand for their services.",
"I rarely leave reviews but we were so disappointed in our visit. Ordered a cup of clam chowder which came out with the spoon already in it (didn't think anything of it). Took a few bites and kept thinking I tasted something sweet. Pulled the spoon out to look and it has already been used and had thick chocolate (assuming from a dessert) on it. So essentially I was eating after someone else! We told our bartender (we were sitting at the bar) and no apology. Literally said \"ugh I'll get you another one\". Then we watched her walk to the end of the bar and talk to the manager about it and the manager never came over and apologized or said anything. I mean we are in middle of covid so you would think she might address the fact that they just gave me a spoon that was in someone else's mouth!! They didn't even take it off our bill. My husband had the grouper sandwich that has zero taste to it. \nWon't be back. There are too many amazing places in St. Pete to give this one another try.",
"We were so glad Doc Ford's was still able to open despite COVID. The place was packed, but we had a reservation and were seated even though we arrived early. We sat inside and felt the tables were a little close, but we didn't mind. Our server was amazing, as well as service in general. We ordered a few things to get an idea of the menu. The Yucatan Shrimp is a MUST, tip: get extra bread to soak up all the amazing sauce. We also got the Seared Tuna appetizer, which came with 3 decent size pieces of tuna over a bed of mouthwatering Asian veggies and noodles. I got the Banana Leaf Snapper, which was as delicious as it sounds, and my boyfriend got the Baby Back Ribs. Ribs at a seafood place, I know, but they were fall-off-the-bone good. The atmosphere is the cherry on top of the amazing food and service. We will definitely be back!"

"The artistry is truly authentic to their name Zukku-San is a new go to destination for fresh, delicious, flavorful and authentic food. \n\nKayley was super positive, and welcoming, provided above and beyond service with product knowledge and 10/10 recommendations!!!! Sous Chef Nhut checked in on our table and asked for feedback and was extremely friendly and appreciative. \n\nAtmosphere is simply stunning, from the simplicity to the local artistry of the koy-fish artwork, bonsai trees and lighting. Music gives the perfect vibe for a perfect date night!",
"We went on their opening night. The place itself is very cute and streamlined. All the food was delicious ! Also tried a few of their drinks and they were great. Their sashimi was also great ( not pictured below). Also not pictured below, the dumplings were delicious ! It's a must try. Their sushi was sooo good. Packed with flavor, and very fresh. Definitely recommend the lobsters masterpiece. Lastly, our service was excellent. Kathy was very attentive by checking on us frequently making sure we loved our food and were happy with our dinning experience. Will definitely be coming back. It's our new favorite sushi spot.",
"My sister and I came here for dinner tonight. We are big sushi lovers and we could not wait for ZUKKU SAN to open. We were seated right away in a pretty booth. The decor in here is amazing. Simple but just enough. The tables are candle lit. Our server was Kylie she was so pleasant and took great care of us. Definitely need more servers like her. We ordered dumplings, soups, salads, salmon roll and the tempura bagel roll. Everything came out pretty quick! Our food was TO DIE for!!!! so much flavoring, great presentation and very fresh. I would love to bring my boyfriend back here for a date night!!! Highly recommend",
"overpriced. Squid tempura cost $17. specialty rolls cost around $15. Food doesn't taste good either. I Would not recommend.",
"Fantastic food and service. It was very busy but we got here just in time for a table, and didn't notice anyone waiting longer than 10 minutes. Servers were very attentive, refilling drinks and checking up frequently. The sushi was delicious, we got a shrimp tempura roll, the centipede roll, and a spicy tuna hand roll. The miso soup was also very good, it had the true miso flavor. We also had the fried cheesecake, which was amazing (as expected). However, the best part of the meal was hands down the veggie spring rolls. They were perfectly friend and served with an incredible garlic chile sauce. We will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu!",
"I have been so excited for Zukku San to open. It definitely did not disappoint! The atmosphere is so nice and the food was phenomenal. Definitely order the Zukku dumplings, they are so unique and worth the order. Our server let us know lunch should be starting soon, hopefully this week. We will definitely be going here often.",
"The sushi are greats but the entree dish is even better! The glazed baked salmon is so goooddddd! I'm craving it again just writing this review lol",
"Came in on a Thursday evening for family dinner. Lovely atmosphere and noise level was low to moderate. Cute date spot ! Definitely will recommend and be back for fresh sushi. We enjoy all the rolls and kids love it also.",
"Can already tell this is going to be the hot new restaurant in town. Full bar, Sushi and Asian dishes. Tom was our bartender and was amazing. A very sorley needed addition to the Wesley Chapel restaurant scene! Next to the Hyatt!",
"Loved the atmosphere and service!! Rolls were amazing fish was fresh. Kids had fried rice and planko chicken and they loved it..Drinks were really good as week- I recommend the Spritzer.."

"Restaurant just opened so we went for lunch. Great menu, delicious food and excellent service (amazing number of wait staff all very helpful whether it's their table or not!). My problem is the walls are covered with TVs and not one set on a channel for women. Come on, we are 50% of the population! It's about time places acknowledged it and that we are your customers too. We shouldn't have to ask! Hgtv, food network, Ellen, The View - get with the times please.",
"Tried the new Glory Days. Very pleased. We started with Zucchini fries.. very good large servings. Hubby ordered chicken and waffles...another large portion. I had the black bean burger really enjoyed it. Only suggestion would be more vegetarian options. Serena our waitress was great..",
"Was being helped by a very rude girl montana. Nobody deserves to be talked to like that. Always has a rude tone. Terrible place to go eat with your family especially with all the rude servers and managers",
"The food was REALLY good. I had the fish platter which was cooked perfectly. My husband had the pork barbecue sandwich .... it was loaded with pork barbecue and was really tender. But the TV's! Everywhere on every wall!!! Can't wait to watch football there. On the tables are volume boxes so you choose whichever game you want to listen to! Service was great. Food was excellent. We will be back!",
"I've been here three times since the opening a few weeks ago.\n\nThe first time was a Saturday ~3/4pm (day after opening) and I was pleasantly surprised to find seating. All the staff were EXTREMELY nice and happy to be there. The specials and menu really impressed me. Ordered the cheese fries as an app and enjoyed, however, the cobb salad could've used some work.\n\nThe next time I attempted to try this place out was the following Saturday ~6pm, and the hour wait was longer than my stomach would allow so we passed. However, the staff was extremely kind/apologetic and asked that we come back to check them out another night.\n\nMy third visit was yesterday (Monday ~5pm). Bar seats open, which made me very happy. Again, staff are extremely kind and excited to be there. However, my issue lied with my food again...I ended up getting a bbq salad to go and once getting home realized they didnt give me any dressing, just bbq sauce. Beyond that, the salad was very weak. The salad was NOT $12 dollars worth and I noticed they used a different chicken than what was on my cobb a few weeks prior, which I found odd. Speaking of chicken, it was barely on there. The salad was extremely tiny. Not sure if this was all because I got it to go..but regardless- I would expect better if I am paying that much.\n\nOverall, still interested in checking this place out further-- I guess I just need to avoid salads on their menu in the future!",
"They have the best boneless wings. This is also my favorite place to watch sports and I'm so happy that they opened one up closer to home!",
"Stopped in for lunch. First time here. Sports bar environment. Plenty of screens. Our server was Rebecca. She was very friendly and answered all of my questions. Now for the food. Wife had the shrimp platter. I had the salmon. Neither of us were impressed. Thinking this might more of a burger place. May try again but not sure.",
"Was being helped by a very rude girl montana. Nobody deserves to be talked to like that. Always has a rude to Terrible place to go eat with your family especially with all the rude servers and managers. Shitty place to eat or hang out.",
"great spot! very attentive servers- so friendly! margherita flatbread is delicious.\nhave been there twice . boneless wings are flavorful with a nice selection of dipping sauces.",
"We visited Glory Days tonight as my sons baseball team was having a spirit night. We asked to sit outside as the inside was really busy. Well Chloe the hostess tried to find someone who would take a table outside but they all were busy. So she decided she would wait on us so we didn't have to wait. She was great, gave us great service...way better then some of the service I've had at other restaurants by actual servers. She was punctual and didn't forget anything we asked for. The food was great also. We had the nachos, my husband got the strawberry salmon salad, and I had a burger. The food was good, and plentiful. I would recommend going here with family, friends or just because. You wont leave hungry or broke, the prices were very fair. And hey, ask for Chloe the hostess to be your server she's great!!!"

"I would post a picture but with two teenagers and the super bowl, our 50 wings disappeared way too quick to stop for a photo shoot. I had heard lots of buzz about this new spot and after going in, I see why! The wings were amazing, the service fast and personable and honestly, it's great to support a family-owned small business run by a Nashville native. We'll be back (soon if our kids have something to do with it) to try the fries and the rest of the flavors.",
"We have been looking for great wings in our area and we finally found a place! The quality is wonderful and the wings are reasonably priced. We cannot wait to go back!",
"Wow! I moved here from Atlanta a couple years ago and have been longing for a great wing place. Ordered the 10 Hot flavored wings, and they were on point, with plenty of meat and sauce. The seasoned fries came with the wings were also great. The service from the young lady at he counter was also impressive, going even as far as letting me sample a couple of the flavors before I ordered. Definitely will be a repeat customer.",
"I honestly think I've tried ever wing place in Nashville and this is the best places hands down couldn't be more pleased with the food",
"So I have been wanting to try them for a while and today I went on Grubhub and got it No contact delivered. I got traditional wings and let me tell you what. SOOOO GOOD!!! I am really picky when it comes to wings and for price and size I am so happy to have found my new joint. The garlic Parmesan taste homemade sauce and the sweet and sassy. Fries are super good and crispy. Totally bang for your buck and can't wait to try more in the future",
"Discovering Strikeout Wingz is single handily keeping me in Nashville for at least another year. I have lived all over this great nation of ours and I judge my love a city based on their buffalo wing situation. Don't get me wrong, Nashville hot chicken is fine, but classic buffalo hot wings are my favorite. I tried all of the suggested local places the first year I lived here, nothing to knock my socks off. I honestly was losing hope in the buffalo chicken wing situation, then I saw a yelp suggestions for Strikeout Wingz and boy I'm so glad this place found me. These Wings are so crisp and the buffalo sauce has that perfect flavor. I hope to see these guys competing for gold at the international Buffalo wing festival in Buffalo, NY in a few years. Through all of the turmoil here in Nashville in 2020, Strikeout Wingz has been an epically amazing bright spot. You guys should definitely give them a try!",
"First time today, absolutely not the last!!! Food was made fresh and everything was so good!! Went with the CatWingz plate and the catfish with lemon pepper was amazing!!! The wings are a little small, but the flavor is BIG!! Will be back soon!!",
"I hit up strike out wings food truck and got the family some dinner. I got a catfish dinner some tenders for the kids and some wings. The catfish had nice size and had great spice and breading to it. The catfish and fries went great together. The kids love old the tender and fries. The I hot was sweet and sassy and strikeout sauce. The sweet sassy sauce was great with the wings. The sweet and heat went great together with some ranch dipping sauce. I also got their hottest sauce called the strikeout sauce. It had great heat and taste. I will be getting that sauce again.",
"I have been looking for good wings in Nashville ever since I moved 4 years. THANK GOD for Strikeout wings. They understand the perfect wing formula: doneness, quality sauces, and good service. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is my wings place from now on.",
"Tried Strikeout Wingz Food Truck, and it was a really great meal!! Definitely try the Sweet & Sassy. It's definitely got a kick to it, but nothing too spicy! The fries were great. I don't think I would order the mozzarella sticks again, only because it was a small order for the price. But everything else was phenomenal. My fiancé got the bone-in wings, and wished he had ordered more because they were that good!"

"A great new addition to Treasure Island. We ordered take out which included soup or salad and a small loaf of warm bread and butter. The prices were reasonable, the portions not overwhelming. The veal parmigiana was delicious as was the linguine and white clam sauce, just like Nonna use to make. \nCaruso's looks and feels like a quaint restaurant in Little Italy or the North End, with plenty of free parking. The new owners have done a great job. Service is outstanding, I highly recommend!",
"Best gnocchi I have had since in New York! Caprese salad was so fresh! Risotto Del Mar was amazing! What a great find! Small place everyone was so friendly! Great prices!",
"My husband and I really enjoyed this quant little Italian gem! Nice to have more options in Treasure Island. We will go back, delicious!",
"Great food the service was excellent thank you Jules. The owner Erica is from a family of restaurant owners the portions were very generous. Erica the Osso bucco was excellent have left overs for dinner tonight. Nice to have such a good restaurant with lots of parking.",
"This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The Decor is wonderful- you feel like you're in an elegant restaurant. The food is handmade by the owners. They actually make their own sauces and not use canned material. When you visit here try the Tiramisu -she personally makes it her self, it is to die for and you can taste the difference. The staff is very professional, punctual and friendly. Even with 4kids we were treated with such elegance that it felt like going to a high-end restaurant while on vacation. \nThank you Erica. Loved our dinner.",
"We really debated between 3+4 stars. The food was very good. The portions were on the small side which was a bonus for us. We left satiated not stuffed. The prob was when the bill came. We eat out WAY more than normal. It's a pet peeve when the \"special\" is so disproportionately higher than than the menu with no warning. Entrees ranged from $12-18. The special which was 5 small shrimp was $27. We have no prob w a $28 entree but we just felt sandbagged when we got the bill which is a shame as the place is cute and the food is good. $27 with tax and tip is $36. Not sure it's that food....",
"Love this place, the food, the owners... the nicest family from Canada... They're related to the folks that own Mario's on Madeira Beach which also has excellent food. We've been back many times and will be many more.. my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We highly recommend it! Beer and wine only and you can bring a bottle with a corkage fee added.",
"I'm just trying to save someone from wasting their money. The best part of this restaurant was the bottle of wine made somewhere else on earth. I'll leave it at that....",
"It has great service, food, and ambiance! You have to go! Treasure Island has been missing this type of place for years!",
"A great addition to Treasure Island. Everyone in our party of 4 was very happy with their entrees. Great atmosphere and friendly prompt service. Please give it a try. I think you will be very pleased with both the quality and pricing."

"This place is awesome and has a great vibe! Cool, cafeteria style service, and their menu is fantastic. I chose the fried chicken, sweet potatoes, greens, corn cake, and blackberry cobbler. The food was prepared to perfection. Seriously, one of the best meals I have ever had, and certainly one of the most enjoyable. The ambiance is beautiful, warm, and welcoming-it felt like home. Great attention to every detail. The upstairs bar/lounge section is spectacular. We will be returning for another meal before we leave Nashville and head home. What a great tribute to Johnny Cash.",
"This place has a wonderful vibe. Stop in and stay downstairs but I would head up the stairs. To enjoy the music upstairs, grab a seat in a rocking chair or near the stage and listen surrounded by stained glass and a bit of art. It's a great place to enjoy.",
"was kind of disappointed :( i got fried chicken, creamed corn, and mashed potatoes and gravy but the potatoes tasted like the boxed kind. this is a southern sin!! i'm from nashville, and while the chicken and corn was fine you will be able to find much, much better meat & 3's close by. i got the chicken and two sides and two slices of pie for $24. again, this is much much higher than most meat & 3's don't waste your money !",
"So, we went opening night. What a beautiful space. Any Cash fan must come here just to see the upstairs space. I didn't eat. I had two whiskeys and a beer. The mock stained glass upstairs is beautiful. In the winter, I'd sit in front of the fireplace all night. The artwork was just amazing. Staff nice. Beautiful space. Good band while I was there.",
"Ok so the upside is the Catfish had some really good flavor but didn't get much of it. Mac and cheese was homemade and very cheesy. Okra just so so and the corn bread was hard as a rock. Staff were friendly enough. This is cafeteria style. You go they the line and pick what you wish. Prices are high for the amount of food you receive. I felt they were a bit chintzy with their helpings. Cute design and service quick. Honestly probably won't be back. Too many places in this town where you can eat better and more for the same price. Sadly not impressed",
"Loved, loved, loved it! So I will start by saying I don't understand these mediocre reviews. Our experience was stellar. Ok we did not eat. That said, I have now been to Nashville more the 15 times and have NEVER experienced great food on Broadway. You do not come to NashVegas and expect 5 star cuisine right on the strip. If you want that head to Jeff Ruby or Kanye Prime. \n\nThings we loved - ambiance, great band, great service. Shout out to our bartender, Honor, she was stellar! Really good selection of bourbons and ryes - all were $12/13 which is really not a bad price for high end. Blantons, Angels Envy, Weller 12 year old, etc. \n\nWe heard band with no name - seriously I asked the name and was told they didn't have one lol. They need one they were great.",
"The concept here is amazing, the decor is stellar, the tribute is heartfelt. The food however, is just lacking, along with the service. The downstairs feels like a school cafeteria even with the amazing decor. The bright lights, convoluted seating and the food service, ya just can't shake it, it just doesn't have the vibe of southern hospitality.\n\nIt's new, bound to be growing pains of course, however the staff seams like they've never worked in a restaurant before and lack the idea of southern hospitality, honesty hospitality in general is absent.\nWhen first walking in, 3 employees stood at entrance, i had to engage them to understand what do to, then the gal told me to enter the food line in the wrong spot . \n\nThe employees serving the food in the cafeteria style setup were not helpful, there's no signage to say exactly what's before your eyes, the servers are just standing there looking at you like they have no clue either, they lacked quality service here.\n\nThen the price, for this food, honestly, it should be higher quality food if they plan on being more than a tourist trap. One could get higher quality southern cooking at Cracker Barrel! Too much salt, too much sugar, the country fried steak is a nightmare, the cornbread was poor, the mash tasted like boxed with too much butter. Fried chicken was on point however!\n\nYou seat yourself and get your own drinks which is fine, but there's a ton of employees running around and not a single one asked if we needed anything or offered any help or service and we had to ask what do with our mess. This place could really benefit from some actual service dining, it would really change things.\n\nNow the gem of this spot. THE UPSTAIRS! The upstairs it's the ONLY reason it's getting 3 stars out of me. Wow what a spectacle that is! A porch, a fire place, i mean WOW!\n\nDefinitely will return, just not for that food.",
"Super friendly staff! Don't let the cafeteria style hold you back. Everything was fresh and delicious! They have the best fried chicken!",
"HORRIBLE!\nCafeteria style means 8th grade cafeteria quality. \n\nPlus overpriced. Not only quality, but also charged more than amount listed on screen.\n\nTopper, when I quietly placed FULL PLATE in bin busser was using, I was told \"next time leave it on your table\" in a rude tone. \n\nBeyond disappointed, and frustrated.\n\nDon't go here when in town.",
"I thought this place would be too touristy to enjoy, but I had a lot of fun here. The food is good (not great). They serve it cafeteria style and you can get a meat entree, sides, desserts, etc. I had the chicken fried steak (very good) and the sweet potato mash (excellent). The rest was pretty passable. But the BEST part was the Cash cover band they had. If you walk Downtown Nashville, there are a lot of live bands but it seems like too many are just playing fairly recent karaoke hits. This band was amazing and really did a fantastic job of bringing Johnny Cash's music to life."

"A great new addition to Main St.! Not just a bubble tea store, but also froyo and some food items. This is my second Tsaocaa location I've tried, and this place is definitely cleaner with nicer service. \n\nSorry, Tsaocaa, although you are not my favorite milk tea place (too watery for my taste), you do win when it comes to fruit tea in the city. \n\nPlus, this location sells freshly made chicken wings, somewhat korean fried chicken style! As in it will take a while for your order to come out because it is freshly fried and smothered in your choice of sauce. Soy garlic was pretty salty but still delicious.",
"This Strawberry Puree Milk is THE BEST boba I've ever had. If they used black boba, the texture would be a little more enhanced but that's all preference based. Overall, the taste of this drink is a MUST TRY.\n\nUpdate: \n\nI went again the second day in a row because I had such a good experience. I decided to try something different today called the Lychee Green Tea Slush, and boy did it not disappoint! The sugar level was spot on, and I am a fan of the foam on top. \n\nUltimately, definitely check out this boba shop. I've been to many around town and I can say that this is a solid place to try out.",
"This newly opened place is just starting up but they already have so much going for it. The two owners care they get things right and the customer is without want. From the cute mind puzzles at all the tables to the food! Oh the food! I was lucky enough to be able to sample their boneless wing chicken. Great sauces and REALLY good chicken quality (thigh but they have white meat available for request for the boneless wings)! After sampling that we knew we had to come in and try out some apps. They have one of the best egg waffles I've ever seen and their takoyaki packs a punch! For dessert, they have a collection of 6 biweekly rotating soft serve ice creams and topping bar, we did not partake this time but the crowd seemed enthusiastic about what they were having! I will definitely be back to try it all!",
"Stopped by today for the Grand Re-Opening weekend. The interior was clean and bright, a nice contrast to the still ongoing construction outside (no sidewalk, just plywood). The young man who took my order was pleasant, but he did need assistance with entering the order into their POS system. \nI ordered a Mango Green Tea Slush without Milk Foam and a Dragon Fruit with Crystal Pearls and Milk Foam. Both drinks were wrong. The Mango Green Tea Slush had Milk Foam and the Dragonfruit was missing the Crystal Pearls. The Mango was refreshing and sweet, while the Dragon Fruit was a bit flavorless. This is incredibly disappointing since the drinks are $6-7 each. They were running a promotion for BOGO drinks, which was nice. Hopefully they can work out the kinks, but until then, I'll continue to go elsewhere.",
"Came in for a Spicy Chicken Sandwich and a Pineapple Passionfruit Green Tea. The Tea tasted great and the Chicken Sandwich was very tender. Eager to try the Extra Spicy Chicken Sandwich on my next visit.",
"I was visiting friends in Manayunk and came across this gem of a bubble tea place. I had such a great experience, I felt like I needed to share this review. I went in thinking I was just going to get a bubble tea, but boy was I wrong. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea which was great. But I spotted other people eating the fried chicken and wings and I had to try some. They definitely did not disappoint. Not only are the food and drinks great, I love the vibe in there. Everyone is super friendly and there's lots of games. You could spend hours in there (which we pretty much did). Looking forward to coming back here!",
"Passed by today and decided to stop in. So glad we did! Great selection of specialty tea, bubble tea, and asian snacks like my favorite takoyaki. Talked with the owner who is so nice and enthusiastic about his tea! Great spot, will be back.",
"This place has some of the best bubble tea around. The chicken wings and the sweet potato fries are awesome too!",
"They use actual tea, they smash fresh taro and 30% sugar actually means 30% sugar. Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is good. We got rose milk oolong tea and cloud mist milk green tea. The taste is subtle but good. Haven't had the chicken or snacks but I'll be back one day to try it.",
"Came here from California where we drink bubble tea like it's coffee. We ordered Mango milk swirl and Strawberry milk swirl which is kind of unique. These are not their specialties, but both of them taste amazing!! There are fresh fruits on the bottom of the drink and the milk on the top is very creamy and delicate. The flavor was rich and well balanced, but you can also choose different sugar level based on your preference.\n\nWe ended up ordering more food: chicken sandwich and honey garlic wings (half spicy). The chicken sandwich was so good!!! The buns are so soft and there's a huge piece of juicy chicken in the middle! :D Definitely recommend getting that if you are craving for a bite. The wings are a nice plus. It's crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Yum.\n\nThere are also many other options on the kitchen menu. For sure will come back again and try other stuff. \n\nP.s. They got a lot of puzzle games in the store."

"The Seven Oaks Burger with the guava BBQ sauce was the prefect blend of sweet and heat for me. The bun was also shockingly soft. The service was quick and on point. My wife also enjoyed the tacos Al Pastor and they were also a big hit.",
"MAKE A RESERVATION! 5 stars (w/o partaking of food or beverage)-- check the other reviews for the quality of the food & beverages. (I've been accused of liking \"shiny things\"...lol)\n\nI was extremely impressed w/ this business-- the amount of physical space, the number of rooms, the beer varities, the ECLECTIC MENU, the interior's aesthetics (although it's loud & not a good place for an intimate gathering!), & the friendliness of staff, which includes the male manager. \n\nI arrived during a closed event; the business was open for just VIPs. The very friendly manager gave me permission to take photos, & twice thanked me for doing so. \n\nThere currently are 16 beers available, most offered in cans & on draft. Also available is a fruited drink: Blueberry Cobbler Pastry Sour. Prices range from $6.50 - $14. Look for 10 cocktails ($11 - $13), 2 sparking wines, 4 white wines, Rose', & Reds.\n\nThere are 12 Small Plates ($8 - $16) on the menu including sticky ribs, crab cakes, lobster roll, caviar, Buffalo cauliflower, & Szechwan seared ahi. There are 4 salads ($4.5 - $14) including a kale salad, steakhouse wedges, & Bluehouse Blue. If it's Tacos you want, there are 3 varieties available ($10 - $13), as well as 3 Bowls ($8 - $12): Westcoast Barley, Greek, & Bibimbap.\n\n4 Flatbreads ($10 - $12) & 8 Handhelds are offered for $11- $15, as well as 4 entrees, all served w/ a side salad: Shrimp & Grits, Paella, Short Ribs, & Hanger Steak ($20 - $25).\n\nFrench Onion soup ($6), & a total of 7 sides from $4 - $6 round out the food menu. All can be washed down w/ sodas, lemonade, Powerade, unsweetened iced tea & Essentia bottle watered. \n\nSome offerings are VEGETARIAN & GLUT-FREE. Spicy & Signature items are marked on the menu. \n\nWith an inside bar, outside patio bar, multiple themed rooms in which to eat & drink, & chair-lined astro field to help adults & kids unwind, this is one LARGE & INTERESTING BREWERY. There are TVs along some walls, and a wall of glass that allows patrons to view a small segment of the brewing equipment. There's also one room that serves as a more formal dining area. But I especially loved the old school pinball machines! \n\nThe parking lot is large & free vallet service is available. I'm EXCITED to return w/ friends whether I decide to drink or not.",
"What a great addition to Wesley Chapel. This brewery turned the old (vacant for years) Sport and Field building into a beautiful restaurant, brewery, event and outdoor space. There's plenty of socially distant seating. Great menu, with multiple of their own brews offered. Service was great, we got a few appetizers and the food was pretty good but it was literally the first day they were open, I anticipate they will do great things with the food. I had the shrimp ceviche, good flavor but a bit spicy ( but I'm a wimp when it comes to spice). And to embrace the Wesley Chapel location , they've named several of their burgers after Wesley Chapel neighborhoods such as Seven Oaks and Meadow Pointe. If you like hazy IPAs , their Luminescence hazy iIPA is fantastic. They have plenty of seating inside and out and parking is available in front and in back. I also saw a sign that said complimentary valet although I didn't see anyone available for this (maybe more for night time). This is definitely a place to check out and support as Wesley Chapel starts to jump on the craft beer band wagon, second brewery open in Wesley chapel this year.",
"I'm a bit different than most in that I'm not just going to drop 5 stars because the place looks new and shiny or evidently, without even trying the food or drank. I was hyped about this spot but my first visit was just average and kinda felt like smoke and mirrors. The location is amazing. The space and the staff were top notch but the food value didn't hit the mark. The cheese curds were on point but we got about 14 for 9 bucks. I mean it's fried cheese come on now. The Nashville hot chicken sammy was NOT Nashville hot it was Buffalo, the sauce was \"wet\" and it wasn't hot at all. If this is going to be a \"signature item\" it's probably best to get it right. The meadow point burger was decent but the patty was perfectly round like it was a pre-made frozen patty. I suppose they could be using a tool but even the bite felt different than a handmade patty. I could be wrong but I'm a huge burger nerd and it just felt off. I'm pretty sure the patty was 1/3 LB not 1/2. I've never had a 1/2 LB burger that was this thin and it wasn't like it was extra wide or anything. Perhaps I'm wrong but I've had hundreds of burgers and lots of 1/2 LB burgers, never seen one that thin. Google pictures of 1/2 lb burgers and compare to this. The fries were great, definitely hand cut and tasty. The tenders kids meal and pizza were both enjoyed. The beer of course is great its Florida Ave. but I hope they step their food game up otherwise I'll probably just visit to have a few beer as the value of the food isn't there for me.",
"Love the Seminole Height location. This is new space in Wesley Chapel feels very....corporate; shiny and sterile and surprisingly noisy. Space is huge and would be a great for event. Hostess asked for my phone number, why? Confusion over what tables were available; handed off to 4 people; the hostess, guy walked us out to the patio, a waitstaff, and finally a second wait staff. The space is very bright acoustically, so it's louder than needed both inside and out. Took a bit of time for the waiter to get to us. When we ordered the cheese curds and a flatbread we were told that they were out of those; unfortunately those we are #1 choices. Beer is good; the seasonal pumpkin stout and the watermelon lime gose both nice. Happy to see they have both Brew Bus and Florida Avenue as each have solid offerings. Looking forward to the on-deck berry crumble sour. \n\nFood: menu is a bit different than the Seminole height location, more upscale. We got the shrimp tacos and the al pastor tacos, as kind of back up plan. (Begin rant... al pastor tacos disappointing. No achiote paste? Meat was a slow cooked, a soggy mess. I saw slow roasted on the menu but I was thinking spit grilled. Totally irresponsible to call it al pastor-as in the tradtional street taco. Menu did say mojo then titled it That. Super disappointing in the execution - cafeteria food. Rant over). The shrimp tacos were considerably better. The shrimp itself were big, well cooked and tasty (blackened) . Too much pickled carrot (manager said was supposed to have Pickled Dikon and kimchi but these were minimal; see pic). \n\nOverall a c- Service will get tightened up no doubt. Beer is great. I didn't care for the general neo-modern decor. Undeniably will be a great space if you have a large party or event. Food was just underwhelming to bad. Foodies might be disappointed (really just here for the beer anyway). Stay away from the al pastor. Want a great mojo pork taco try the Independent on Florida with its awesome jalapeño aioli. Wish this was more a brewery first with kick ass pub food. Seems to be overreaching. Maybe adjust the menu, or at least have stuff on the menu available? Manager did come over and was receptive to feedback. \n\nI'll try it again for different food options as the flat bread does look good . For now it's just another place to get craft beer, a snack (if they have them ) and watch some some sports. Ill come back after its been in the fermentation tank for a bit.",
"So happy they opened up in this neighborhood. The dark beers are amazing, food was really good, the main room is quite loud but there are two other rooms and a big outdoor space to sit in. They have awesome pinball machine too! Great outdoor area covered and non covered. We had two orders of lobster rolls and the Nashville chicken sandwich. One of the rolls was shorted lobster compared to the other and I actually saved half of the chicken sandwich to take home because I was wanting some sweet added to it. Typical Nashville hot chicken is hot and sweet, it was lacking that sweet component. They should def add Mikes Hot Honey to it. But it was still a good wing sauce fried chicken sando. Will absolutely be revisiting to try all their menu. May bring my hot honey though.",
"This new brewery just opened last weekend, so of course its a Hotspot in this area.\nWith that said...\nParking: Limited. Get here early and make a reservation if you want to make sure you get seated.\nGetting Seated: Not bad. But we had a reservation. When we were sat, we waited several minutes for service. One of the managers eventually came over to get our drinks goin.\nAmbiance: Modern,, clean looking.. Tables are spaced out. Good lighting. Music playing but hardly audible because its loud. Big screens with sports on.\nFood: Pretty good. We ordered a Brewhouse Blue Steak Salad, Caviar of the South, French Onion Soup and Buffalo Chicken Flatbread. \nMy personal favorite was the French Onion Soup. \nDrinks: He ordered a flight of 4 beers. Flights are $2 per 5oz glass. I ordered a Thats My Jam, which is basically a Moscow mule with strawberry. I really like it.\n\nI recommend checking this place out. Great place to come with friends.",
"Not ready to open poor communication. Told high top table was first come first serve by phone and by greeter. Then once we sat down party of 4 was told it was reservation only. I've been to just about every brewery in Tampa Bay.... this one is poorly run.",
"Beer is great, atmosphere is fun, service/kitchen is very lacking. Got here at 7pm, said the table would be ready at 8:45- it is now 11:00pm and no word on the table. \n\nWe did find a table outside, placed an order at 8pm, finally got our food at 10:30pm after asking many times. The manager came out and said \"sorry we couldn't get your food out to you\"- wait what?!?! He said we canceled our order - we never did! \n\nThe burgers came out 2 min later- cold. Never got our appetizers or desserts! Had to hunt the server down for drinks and the rest of our food and had to clear our own dishes. \n\nDessert finally came after asking 40 min after our food- ordered churros- they were rock hard- tasted like cardboard- no cinnamon or sugar - just plain fried bread that could crack a tooth. \n\nI understand that this is their first weekend and they were busy, but communication could be better and management needs to get involved in the kitchen/service situation! I really hope this place gets it together- it is a great spot for Wesley Chapel! We will try again but maybe just for beer for awhile.",
"Really really really disappointed with this place. Thought it was gonna be a cool place to hang out down the street, grab a beer and some food.... Nope . Had the Korean bowl with a Cesar salad. The beef tasted funny (I have eaten a lot of Korean food) and the Cesar salad had no dressing just lettuce and a (1) crouton.... Extremely overpriced for what it was...Extremely!!! Horrible Korean bowl was $17 !!!! WTF?!? \nOutside area just had a couple tables and a bunch of kids running around. Really hoping this was going to be more like a \"3 Daughters\" type of place, but just a cold feeling overpriced corporate place..... Very disappointed"

"Excellent food, friendly staff, fast service. Ceviche is to die for. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful! You won't regret it. Dine in or take it to go!!",
"I was thrilled to have a Peruvian chicken place finally closeby. My first time I was eager but turned out very disappointed. The chicken was tiny and very dry and not flavorful. The green soup was flavorless. The ají green sauce was disappointing. The side of fries was very small but at least good thick steak fries. The side of yucca was tiny and dry A family meal didn't go very far. I got a take out order and at least the staff was very nice.\nMy neighbor is native Peruvian and he was disappointed as well. \nI really hope the restaurant owners make things better.",
"Scallops broiled to perfection, plantain, cerviche, rotisserie chicken and flavorful sauces! All made fresh. Beautiful presentation and so flavorful!Yum!\n Dining in the Publix shopping Center next to Pinch a Penny on the BBD & CC intersection.\nThis will be one of our favorite go-to restaurants!",
"Food was really delicious. Chicken was flavorful and moist. Hostess was courteous and pleasant. My only complaint was an error on the menu. It list rice and beans as one side as many other restaurants I have frequented, but it actually counts as two separate sides. I was given two sauces to try out and both were delicious. Be careful with the tops on the sauce mine didn't fit snug. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to friends and I will definitely be back to try something else. It's nice to have food that tastes home cooked close by for those lazy days you don't want to cook.",
"Excellent food and service!!! I have heard so much about \"pollo a la brasa\" and way exceeded my expectations. The chicken was delicious, flavorful and juicy. The appetizers were great as well. I strongly recommend this place!!!",
"I had never tried peruvian food but my wife's sister told us about this restaurant, Lima. She said it was the best food she had ever ate a d indeed she was correct. We ordered the lomo saltado and conchitas parmesanas as well as 1/4 of their chicken and it took a little but the wait was worth it. We now come here weekly. I highly recommend this place to everyone!",
"I was excited to try out this new Peruvian restaurant close to home. It's been a long time since I have gotten a chance to try Peruvian food since moving from Miami. I order takeout and it took a while (30mins) for the order to be complete, it's best to order ahead of you are in a hurry. Overall, it was good food however it is pricey (whole chicken with 2 sides=$25) and there portions are very, very small. I'm not sure if it's enough for a family of 4 but it's good for 2 people. The staff was nice and you can tell that the food is cooked when you order, our potatoes were a bit undercook. I'll give this place a chance I'm the future but hope they well fill there to-go containers to the line where it's marked. Like I said before they give very little.",
"I have come here twice now and due to my excitement to eat Peruvian food and here in new Tampa. My wife had the Ceviche and it was ok, too sour and not enough flavor, no canchita on the side and barely any Peruvian corn. I had the chilcano which it was ok, but I also had the lomo saltado which tasted good and the meat was of great quality, however they charge $21 for a lomo saltado that other Peruvian restaurants only charge $14 at most! Not only that, the portion was so small...",
"I usually dont write reviews but I did this in Hope's that the owners will read the reviews and take some into consideration. We have been to this restaurant twice and have left a bit disappointed. The first time we had fish ceviche, papa a la huancaina and 1/2 rotisserie chicken with rice and fries. The ceviche was ok, we felt like it needed more flavor it seems that it was not left to marinate in the lime juice or they use bottled lime juice. We asked for spicy ceviche and it didnt have much spice at all. The papa was a good consistency but was missing salt, maybe a bit more cheese? The chicken was really good and moist, the fries were also good. Our only complaint was that the side portions were too small. The second time we ordered a whole chicken with fries and and salad and the sides were not enough for a family of four, even though 2 were kids that dont eat much. The sauces were good but also needed more flavor. Overall this place has good potential if they just tweaked a few things. I hope it only gets better and will be back to try new things.",
"Great Peruvian food. Love the lomo soltado and the comfort food that is served. I would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys Peruvian food."

"Best meal we had while we were in town. Tried a lot of the other \"best of\" and award winning restaurants and found this was truly the best. Burrata \"Pimento\", Fried Oysters, Benton Ham Tartine and the Red Fish were amazing. The gumbo was the best we've ever had. Fun wine and cocktail list... go hungry and order a ton!!!",
"We went last night for the soft opening. The space is nice and it wasn't too loud. We had the seafood dip appetizer which was a bit salty. The oyster appetizer pleased my boyfriend, and we both loved the cauliflower appetizer. The tempura batter was terrific. We split the hangar steak and gnocchi entrees. The gnocchi was AMAZING. One of the better vegetarian entrees I've had in awhile. The steak was a tad undercooked, but good flavor. For dessert we had the coconut custard (meh) and the blue corn cake. This was shockingly good, I was not expecting it. The service was really good and we enjoyed it overall. Great new addition to the CBD!",
"You could easily miss this hidden gem if you're not paying attention.\n\nWent to Laurel Oak on their opening night last night and it was an absolute delight. The restaurant is open, warm, and most importantly, not pretentious. \n\nFun cocktail menu - caught myself having to keep getting new cocktails just because the flavor combinations were spot on. If you want to want to go a little top dollar, they do have $20+ cocktails also on the menu - I think those will be saved for a celebratory occasion.\n\nThe food was stupidly delicious. The dishes seem standard for southern fare until you're served:\n\n- Potato croquettes served with a creamy sauce that will remind you of the best onion dip you've ever had with a hit of caviar and chives. You're going to fight for the last bite.\n\n- Juicy deep fried oyster sliders with a delicious secret sauce and coleslaw tucked between a toasted sesame seed bun. It honestly tasted like a Big Mac because it was an umami bomb. Don't order one, absolutely get two minimum. \n\n- Redfish dip. Look - every restaurant in the city should have a fish dip, but damn, this was a slam dunk. Large chunks of fresh fish, balanced mayo, and topped off with salmon roe. The salt and vinegar chips offer the perfect balance. \n\n- Beef tartar served with home made french fries. The fries threw me off, but I found it fun grabbing the tartar with the fries. High quality meat with bursts of tartness from pickled apples. \n\nWe didn't get a chance to get into the entrees but everyone around us kept ordering their fried chicken sandwiches - I cannot wait to give it a try!\n\nPrice point and tastiness are all well balanced. Can not wait to come back again to explore the menu.",
"Went to the soft opening and boy were we blown away. The cocktails were amazing, fresh and extremely creative. The food however was the absolute showstopper! Absolutely delicious!!! Keep up the good work and y'all will have a line around the block. Service from Alex and the rest of the team was top notch. Thanks again and cheers!",
"Great spot, just opened. Really like the oysters and gnocchi. Every thing our group had was good. Wait staff was very attentive and helpful with the menu.",
"Stopped in for a late meal on Sunday night. \nThey did a great job. We had a shrimp cocktail and a burger. Nothing fancy right?\nShrimp were in a get mix of sauce and pickled veggies.\n\nBurger was tasty and cook food. \n\nThe Star was the duck fat fried French fries. We ate every single one and would have eaten MORE.",
"We were planning on going into the Quarter again for dinner but since we were staying at the Magnolia so my girlfriend and I said \"f@#K it, let's stay close and try it out\". We are sooooooo happy we did. Five days in New Orleans and THIS was our best meal. The food was so awesome that we ate there TWICE. I had the hushpuppy to start and finished with the brick chicken. My girlfriend got the gumbo, which was SUPER GOOD (who knew gumbo+potato salad works), and ended with the fish. It was their 1st night open so they are still working on creating the atmosphere.The lights were alittle bright for my taste, but what they haven't worked out in mood.....they have in food, plating, and service. Hit this place up before it gets too big for walk ins.\n\nPS: The \"tiki AF\" is a killer drink! Its really good and really powerful. You'll go light on the booze the rest of the night ;-)",
"Great NYE meal at the newly opened Laurel Oak. Food was excellent and service was perfect. We had a 3 course meal and the portions were just right. Food wasn't heavy like so many NOLA restaurants. Well done all around and I'll be back for sure!!",
"Delicious food...beautiful restaurant. I'll be back! If you are staying at the Magnolia, or visiting the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. Appetizers, entrees and cocktails...all wonderful!",
"The Laurel Oak is absolutely amazing! I would 100% recommend it! If you are looking for a place with great food, a great atmosphere and great service THIS IS where you would want to be!!"

"Words cannot begin to describe the experience at Yolan. After I heard about Chef Tony bringing a restaurant to the 615, I was beyond excited and made my reservations as soon as possible!\n\nUpon arrival I was greeted by an extremely nice woman named Kaitlin, because of the grand opening many of the patrons were staying longer than expected. As a result I was offered free beverages and snacks while I waited - the care and effort they made was immediately notes and much appreciated. \n\nThe service I received was tremendous while I waited and I felt no difference whatsoever. Once my food began the experience increased 10x. Every dish complimented the next and the service was the best I've ever experienced in nashville. I would like to personally recognize Kaitlin, Nate, Cody, and Bryan for continuously making sure that I was doing well and was enjoying my food. Yolan was also extremely accommodative to my dietary restrictions, and went above and beyond to meet my needs.\n\nAs I mentioned earlier, the food was out of this world. I went with the 8-course tasting menu and each course complimented the next. My favorites dishes were the Panzanella, Pesce, the Tortelli, and the Arancia Rossa! The night was truly magical and I am so thankful I was able to experience such great service and eat such great food on their opening night! I am purposely not going into extreme detail because I want to leave an element of surprise for future patrons - but believe me this is some of the best Italian food I've ever had! \n\nI truly believe that Yolan will be the first restaurant in Nashville to recieve a Michelin star! Best of luck to the team at Yolan , I will be back very soon!",
"This restaurant has world-class service. Our servers were spectacular and provided an experience that we didn't even know we wanted. They were polished, professional, charming, yet not overbearing.\n\nBoth à la carte Breakfast and the large bacon dish seen in the picture were spectacular. \n\nI'm gluten-free and their gluten-free biscuit option exceeded my expectations. It's the best gluten-free biscuit in town.\n\nThe environment will make you feel like a classy lady even if you're a 300 lbs football player. They have comfortable furniture, nicely curated finishes, fresh flowers, and nicely placed modern art.\n\nI would recommend this restaurant to anyone!",
"Ultra chicness has come to downtown Nashville!\nYolan is modern, elegant, impressive, and downright delicious. It is high end Italian with the flair that only its Michelin Star chef can bring. \n\nOur party of four enjoyed the 5 course tasting meal. The portions were small enough so we could make it through the meal, but substantial enough that we were happily well fed. ;) I couldn't even begin to choose a favorite dish! \n\nThe wine list is exceptional. The stemware and flatware are gorgeous. The service is impeccable. \n\nFrom the moment you arrive at the valet you understand that this venue is different. There is a large video screen showing various scenes of beauty. World class art greets you in the lobby. \nThe decor is refined. \n\nThe restaurant is located in the rear of the first floor. It is expensive. Well suited to a special occasion. Valet is complimentary with validation. \n\nWhen you finish your meal head to the rooftop for an after dinner drink at Denim's and enjoy the poolside views!",
"What a wonderful addition to Nashville! The service was excellent and the food is truly unforgettable. The risotto and cacio e pepe were so good I will probably be talking about them forever. If anything, I just wish I could have had more of each of them. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the plum sauce was a great compliment. I was pleasantly surprised to have received a small starter and dessert compliments of the chef as well, both very,very good. As minimal as it seems, I also have to note that the bread is amazing. When they bring the tray to your table to select which bread you'd like, do yourself a favor and ask for a couple of each kind.",
"My siblings were visiting so we decided to go downtown and try Yolan. Let me just say it did not disappoint. We started off with the Seasonal Mules which were very refreshing and tasty. We had the octopus as an appetizer which was ok. We ordered this since we all love grilled octopus but we were not a huge fan of this cold dish. We had a few tastings compliments of the chef which were very tasty. For my entree I got the gnocchi with truffles. This was potentially the best pasta dish I have ever had. The gnocchi was so light and fluffy and melts in your mouth. My wife got the risotto with lobster which was also very good. Do not skip out on dessert! They were all made beautifully and tasted phenomenal. I will definitely be back.",
"Wow. This place definitely didn't disappoint. Everything was absolutely amazing, besides the octopus (just wasn't what we were expecting). I will be coming back again next time I'm in town. Would recommend the seasonal mule, risotto, and either the strawberry or blood orange dessert! Delicious.",
"This place is light out! Food was AMAZING. Only thumbs down would be the octopus. We love octopus, but this was served cold and we were expecting something else. Flavors were there, just not my cup of tea. Won't count that against them at all because I didn't enjoy something. I think plenty of people will find it wonderful. \n\nMake this a date night ASAP. You can tell this is a place ran by a chef attached to a Michelin Star. I know it is new, but it will become a staple. \n\nHighly recommend the gnocchi. Best pasta dish I have ever tasted. Save room for desserts...they are next level.",
"Sooo very happy Yolan has opened in the Joseph hotel. The second you walk through the door your are treated like a rockstar. Everyone you come in contact with greets you like a old friend. We went for Sunday brunch. Started with wine and were served hot, salty little\nBiscuits. Then we ordered the charcuterie, side salad, and cacio e pepe pizza. All fantastic! Service was also impeccable of course. Can't wait to go back and try dinner. Parking was a little difficult to find with it being an alley. You really have to look for it. But it was affordable.",
"We have been meaning to check out Yolan since the new Joseph hotel finally opened. Stopped in for weekend brunch Saturday around 12pm and sat in the bar. Lovely quiet atmosphere in the bar which was just what we wanted after Friday night. We ordered the 'Cacio e Pepe pizza' and the 'Eggs in Purgatory.' Both superb brunch dishes with my eggs in purgatory being the overall winner. \n\nExcellent and attentive service from the whole staff. Super excited to come back for dinner one day to see the place in full action!",
"The absolute best dining experience in Nashville! Our meal was absolutely amazing. We had the 5 course tasting menu and every bite was delicious. The bread, oh my goodness, it was Fabulous! There are several restaurants in Nashville that serve excellent food but there is no where in Nashville with the excellent quality of service we received while dining at Yolan. Sam and Cody were the perfect duo and were so attentive. Kaitlyn, our sommelier, was knowledgeable (350 wines), delightful, passionate and an absolute joy. She selected the perfect choice for us. I can't recommend Yolan enough and can't wait to go back."

"I've used and been a loyal customer for years. Unfortunately things have gone way downhill and people with allergies need to know they are not safe for allergies anymore and refuse to label allergens. In addition, customer service is nonexistent since the company split and it's really sad. Their food was good but not good enough to tempt an allergy attack and certainly not for a business owner who doesn't care about the customers and only her bottom line instead of being appreciative for years of support.",
"I can't say enough great things about LesbiVeggies! I have been ordering from them every week for over 2 years. Healthy restaurant quality ready to eat meals that are both vegan AND gluten free. My carnivorous husband and toddler love the food too!",
"This place was AMAZING! \n\nThere's not many vegan options out there and typically it's the \"here's a salad\" thing going on. That's not the case here. \n\nIt's small but cute. \nMy personal favorite thing about the atmosphere is the R&B playing in the restaurant. Imagine sitting down eating healthy GOOD TASTING food while listening to Lauren Hill, Jill Scott and Mac Ayers. In love with this place. \n\nSo for the food though! \nWe had the cauliflower wings. Best cauliflower wings I've ever had. If you know me, you know that I feel cauliflower is the worst replacement for wings. That's not the case here. \n\nWe had the Brussels sprouts!? \nLORD!!!! \nWhen I tell you those were amazing !!?!!?? \nI could have that every day of my life. The \"bacon chips\" and the Dijon mustard sauce. That was the best Brussel sprouts i have ever had. Ever. \n\nThe birria tacos were also good but they could've used a pinch of salt. They were perfectly cooked. Vegan cheese that melts? Where? Here. Which is a big deal because idk about YOU but I still can't find good vegan cheese that melts. \nAlso typically birria tacos have cilantro and onion on there and these didnt. But the taste of the rice made up for all that! \n\nThere was only one downfall and it's not that big of a deal but the person at the register was busy and she was the only person out there so we didn't get forks and napkins when our food started coming out. Not until we asked for it but it took about 5 minutes after our food came out. Also they asked if we wanted water, which we did but again because she was the only one there it took a while for us to get it. \n\nFor reference, this was a Friday around 430ish. \nParking in this area sucks. But that's the case even if you're going to the brewery at the corner.\n \n\nOverall I am most defiantly going back. \nThis is the best vegan food I've had out here. \n\nAlso HUGE PLUS \nblack owned business. \nLGBTQ owned business.",
"Worth the drive out from the Philly region. Incredible, tasty, filling vegan and gluten free offerings. Mango and strawberry smoothies were fantastic, and the peach cobbler pancakes were -- wait for it -- the best I've ever had. I'm not vegan or GF, and these blew \"regular\" pancakes out of the water. Hope to steal the chef's recipe some day. The tostadas were very good but honestly I'd just order the pancakes for every meal and be happy. \n\nWill return again, but call ahead or check their FB page as they will randomly close for the day while they get their feet under them. We got surprised after a long drive to find them closed once. :(",
"There is a new black woman owned vegan restaurant in Audubon, NJ called Lesbiveggies. I went with a friend and we almost ordered everything off the brunch menu!!! \n1. Peach cobbler pancakes with candied pecans were delicious. They weren't too sweet and they had that grandma cooked them in a iron skillet crunch around the edges which I love!!!! \n2. The lemon poppyseed pancakes with blueberries were my FAV! They were savory and sweet with those little crunchy edges \n3. Tostadas with refried beans, chickpeas, pico de gallo, lettuce and vegan mozzarella were the BOMB! Super flavorful and filling! \n4. The cauliflower sandwich is the REAL DEAL the cauliflower has a crunchy well seasoned coating with a Buffalo type of sauce and all the fixings of a good sandwich! \n\nIn addition to the food being the bomb the service was on point! The chef/owner came out and greeted us personally, she laughed with us and even took the time to take a photo. She has a good thing going, so even if you aren't vegan go check out the place out...let's support this young lady!",
"Food so delicious you'll forget that it's vegan!! I would highly recommend stopping by to dine in or ordering take out. We ordered the tacos and cauliflower wings. Oh my goodness, so good! I will certainly be returning to make my way through the menu!!",
"This new business was rocking and rolling on a Saturday night. They were super busy but honest with the timeline for your order. All of the staff and the owner were amazingly kind and accommodating. Plenty of outdoor seating in Audobon. Many of the people that I talked to picking up their orders were return customers that were \"trying\" plant based lifestyle and already had favorites. I am a vegan and I was floored! This young chef is self taught and killing it! I had spicy cauliflower wings, zucchini fritters, tacos and an amazing eggplant appetizer! This is an experience NOT to miss!",
"Would have given a zero Stars !!! \nToday's Tuesday 532 pm !! And they was closed very disappointed since we drove from\nVineland because a friend recommended the place !! \nSo obviously we're not coming back since it's out of the way !\nBut good luck hopefully they make it since they're hours posted and advertise don't match up ! ! So call ahead honestly we should have. This is why small business fall most often over corporate because they go when when they feel like it ! And never keep hours",
"Food is A1. Flavorful, great portions, good customer service. The atmosphere is also very welcoming and laid back. We also had the mango smoothie and matcha tea, which were both great also. Will be a reoccurring customer, no doubt.",
"I'm honored to be the first to post a review. The food here is stellar. Like five star restaurant stellar even though I took it out as a to go order and drove 25 minutes home. I enjoyed the potato leak soup (nice hint of a kick of spice but nothing offensive) as well as the Brussels (do not turn your nose up - they are aaaaaahmazing) together with the zucchini corn fritters. Wonderful flavors which blended nicely together. Pictures do not do justice to the wonderful meal. Nice portions for the pricing. Try it - you won't be disappointed!"

"Another yummy hand-pulled noodle restaurant! Compared to JC Noodle, I think I enjoyed this one slightly better based off of the dishes. I enjoyed everything I ordered today and would order them again. \n\nThe guy sitting a table over looked like he knew what to order. He was also speaking in Chinese with the waitress so I'm sure he's pretty familiar with this cuisine. I asked him what his party ordered and if he liked it. He recommended the #1 Lanzhou Beef Noodles (their special) and pork burger. He did not recommend the cucumbers, so I took note and thought I'd also pass the tip to my fellow yelp readers. I went ahead and added soup dumplings to my own order on top of his recommendations.\n\nWhen the food came, I noticed they give you a generous portion of broth and noodles. They were the perfect, chewy consistency without being overcooked. The broth was clean and flavorful (not too salty thank gosh! A lot of places mess up the salt levels!). There was also an ample amount of beef slices. They kept the place nice and freezing so eating the warm noodles felt great.\n\nAs for the appetizers, I was well-advised getting the pork burger. It was juicy with bits of fatty pieces and the flavor was great. It was so good, that my friend and I ordered another To-Go. You seriously can't eat here without getting one... it's only $4. Now even though there ain't no place serving soup dumplings as good as Din Tai Fung here, we gotta get our fix somehow since we don't have that restaurant on the east side. It's not comparable, BUT I still enjoyed it and thought it can get you by if you're really craving soup dumplings. \n\nPROS: PORK BURGER for appetizer, clean interior, and the noodles were great texture. If you want to pop in here by yourself, they have almost like a bar type seating in the middle of the restaurant so you don't feel awkward. \n\nCONS: After your meal, you'll feel like the blueberry girl in Willy Wonka because everything's so tastey you try to eat it all. Soup dumplings weren't the best I've tried based on craft but the flavors were still good and do satisfy your cravings! Bobacup and Sweet Buns are in that plaza if you want to end with an Asian dessert!",
"Very good noodles with not much meat in the bowls, really good appetizers and BBQ skewers. \nNoodles - we got #1 Beef and #7 Mixed Beef with regular noodles. The hand pulled noodles (i.e. Lamen) are chewy and fresher, noticeably different from regular noodles you get in ramen places. Despite being told mixed beef would have different types of beef, the only difference is it has tripe. Both #1 and #7 have beef broth which is pretty decent tasting, radish, same type of beef cuts which are thin and relatively few pieces. It looks nothing like the picture of the noodle bowl on the bottom of the page. \nThe soup dumplings is higly recommended. This is appetizer size, so there is not as much soup as you might be used to or expecting if you've had soup dumplings elsewhere. But for what you get and the price, it's pretty darn good. \nThe BBQ chicken skewers were fantastic, soft, tender, hint of smokey and BBQ taste. \nLocated in the Winn Dixie Plaza, on the left if coming off of Fowler. Interior spacious, clean, well lit, pretty fast service.",
"My friends and I have been waiting for this place to open for what feels like EONS but it was worth the wait. The noodles are fresh and the flavors captured in the dishes are amazing. Soups could use more meat and veggies but I was too focused on the noodles to be bothered. Definitely check it out!",
"Tasty noodle soup and northern Chinese snacks in a nice setting.\n\nI love noodle soup. Being Chinese, soup is comfort to me, and I'm always looking for a solid noodle soup place.\n\nLan Zhou Lamen is a very solid place to get noodle soup. I had the #3, and while there wasn't a ton of meat or veggies, the broth was very good, and I enjoyed the noodles. They were toothsome and better than what I had at JC.\n\nWe also had the garlic edamame (fine, but my kids love edamame), the soup dumplings (nothing to write home about, but they are always nice to see on a menu), a pork sandwich and a beef sandwich. Those sandwiches are awesome! Only $4, and full of very flavorful meat. My son devoured the pork sandwich, then eyed my noodle soup like a predator who has developed a taste for Chinese food (as a toddler living in Tampa, he is sadly under-exposed to Asian foods). I tasted the beef in the beef sandwich, and it is in the same braise as the beef in the soup -- very tasty!\n\nThe place is new, so service is a little slower than I expected, but the staff is friendly, and the setting is very nice with reasonably comfortable seats.",
"LZL is a new restaurant occupying the former Sate Asian grill (2012) and Pizzafire (2017) spots in the brick University plaza which has First Watch, 5 Guys, Taj Indian Cuisine, and Winn Dixie.\n\nWhen you enter , there is a bar/partition barely 1 ft from the door that splits the dining area into 1/3 and 2/3. The furniture has Chinese art and a dark mocha color scheme. I was under the impression that it was a fast casual place but was surprised that they had table service. I was seated in a booth on the 1/3 side and given tap water without asking. After looking at Rachel's review, I went with the no. 1 Lanzhou Beef Noodles. You can choose regular, thick, or hand tossed, though its not too apparent (There are commas between each choice on the menu. I would have written something like \"Choose between the following noodle types and then list the choices)\n\nWhen I received the dish, my brain essentially thought \"This is Chinese pho\" There are noodles, cilantro, and thin beef slices in a translucent broth. The broth is decent but not memorable. The cilantro had no smell. There were only 2-3 small pieces of beef. The best part were the actual noodles themselves. Different from the vermicelli style pho , they were thicker and had a more robust taste. On the table , they had a hot sauce in ceramic china. I added some of it to the dish which made it 25 % better but even then I felt non plussed about the meal.\n\nThe service was a bit underwhelming. There were about 11 other patrons inside but my server never came to refill my water. Also , 13 minutes after finishing my meal, I kept looking back but the front desk woman was always looking at her terminal . I saw the other female server walking around but not mine. Finally I went up and feigned ignorance about whether to pay upfront or if the check would be brought to me. The front lady printed a check and I gave her my card and high tailed it out of there.\n\nIf you're going to do table service for a small scale restaurant, make sure its on point. Also, give me metal forks , not a dinky plastic one. Giving me a nice soup spoon and china and a plastic fork is weird. Even Saigon Deli has metal silverware. In addition, charging $10 dollars and having almost no meat is unacceptable. This is USF , not South Tampa. I can get pho from Saigon Deli , Simply pho and grill from $7-9 with 3x the meat.\n\nMaybe their other dishes are better , but I doubt I will come back.",
"I have been waiting patiently for this place to open. In my opinion, you can't have enough good Asian restaurants in an area. I was really excited to see it was finally open (SOFT OPEN), so I decided to try it out.\n\nStanding outside the restaurant, as you look in, all of the windows and doors are covered with that one-way signage you see on buses. You know where you can see the advertisement as you look at it, and the people inside can see out perfectly? Well, since they implemented this at their location, it makes it, in my opinion, uninviting to even check out. You can't tell if it is open, what it looks like inside, etc...\n\nOnce you go inside, the place is quite nice. Beautiful tables and chairs, and a beautiful wood ceiling. We were greeted right away and shown to a table. What they had in decor and ambiance was taken away by the cheap plastic utensils at the table. If you are going to wash dishes anyway, why use single-use plasticware? Why not silverware?\n\nWe ordered the soup dumplings, bbq chicken skewers, shrimp stir-fry hand noodle, and Lanzhou beef noodle soup and drank water.\n\nThe water was actually cucumber water with lemon and I literally was grossed out by it. I wasn't expecting to drink cucumber water. It was never mentioned, and it isn't my favorite. I love cucumbers, and I love water, just not together. Yuck!\n\nThe BBQ chicken skewers came out first. The seasoning on these was far too intense and not evenly disbursed. One bite was bland, the next was overpowering. It was really spicy for our taste.\n\nThe soup dumplings came out second. I was super excited to try these as I love soup dumplings. What we got was a poor excuse for a soup dumpling. They were served without a spoon. How do you serve soup dumplings without a spoon? That's half the point. They were tiny and totally deflated. There was no soup inside of them. Maybe the soup nazi forbid it? The taste was great as a dumpling, just not a soup dumpling.\n\nOur soup and noodle dish was last.\n\nIf you are expecting a pho type of soup, you will be disappointed. The broth of this beef stock was ok. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great. Just average. Had a bit of fat in it, which is fine, but the few pieces of beef were kind of sketchy and had no flavor. It has a lot of noodles inside it, which makes sense, and they were good but were getting a bit gummy being in the broth for so long.\n\nThe shrimp stir fry noodle had 9 pieces of large shrimp in it and a lot of noodles. In terms of veggies, there were barely some carrots and mushrooms in it that I could see. No consistency in how they were cut either. All different sizes, kind of how I would cut a vegetable at home, not a restaurant. There wasn't much flavor in this dish. It was like eating spaghetti with some shrimp in it, to be honest. Nothing like what I wanted it to be.\n\nSo where do we go from here?\n\nMy first suggestion is that they lose the signs on all the windows and doors. Make it more inviting to come in.\n\nSecondly, get some nice silverware to go with the interior.\n\nThird, put tons of pictures on your menu. This is a new type of food for most people, and they need lots of help in understanding what things are. Do most people know what Mala Tang is? No. Then why make them guess? Have a description and pictures of all the choices. Make it visual. Make your food gorgeous. Make people drool.\n\nThat's a huge bone of contention for me. I think all the menus should have pictures in it. Food is a visual art form. If Mcdonalds can put pictures of all their garbage on their menu board, there is no reason a restaurant can't do the same.",
"I was so excited this place was opening - hand pulled noodles are my favorite ever!!!! The menu was nice, got the dumplings and duck noodle soup... the soup tasted okay, but was disappointed in the noodles themselves. Noodles were soft and not what I expected from pulled noodles... the texture was just not there (no bite), and for a noodle place, I expect that to be the most important. Dumplings and my friends dish were fine, but gah!!! \nI'll be back, bc I love noodles and I'm all for more authentic Chinese places opening up, but I'd love to see improvement.",
"Lan Zhou recently opened their doors to the USF Tampa Bay crowd. They are still in soft opening phase. This location is known for having hand-pulled noodles. For those that are obsessed with the texture of hand-pulled noodles, like I am, then you will understand why I arrived immediately to try.\n\nI am not a fan of hand pulled noodle soups, because the broth makes the noodles soggy easily. That was also the case here. Therefore, I recommend ordering the non-soup version, like their section of the menu called \"Stir-Fry Hand Noodles.\" I ordered the beef version, which was a mild braised beef, zucchini, cabbage, mushrooms, and onion. The noodles were round and perfectly toothsome. Other reviewers noted that this is a Northern Chinese style restaurant, but the flavor was lacking Northern chili and cumin flavors. So, I just added chili oil.\n\nThe servers will tell you that all of their noodles are hand-made. However, you will notice there is a large difference in not only the texture, but also the color and shine of different noodles here between their thinner and wider noodles. Specifically, in the soups, as previously noted, they will get soggy quickly. So, sadly for wider noodles, which are actually my favorite, then I will need to continue going to another place in town for knife cut noodles.\n\nOther reviews were noting not to order the cucumbers. I had no issue with the cucumber appetizer dish here, it was quite refreshing and flavorful (as I have been served in HK, TW, and ROC). This dish is long wedges of cucumber covered in mixed soy sauce, peanuts, and cilantro. \nHowever, the dish that I really did not like is their Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), as they are not made in-house and are just reheated frozen XLB from the grocery store on Fowler. \nThe pork burger, typically called Rou Jia Mo here is weak. There is barely any meat and no spices or herbs added. There are better places in Tampa for this dish. However, the bread was crispy, oily, and delicious--- the lack of filling was not pleasing to the ratio of bread.\n\nI am going to visit again soon to try the mix mala hotpot dishes and order some more of the stir-fry hand-pulled noodles.",
"The place isn't too bad! Friendly workers! Soft opening so not everything is available! The noodle soup is average, smells like pho but is just basic ramen. The soup dumplings were alright, little to no soup in the dumplings, I don't think it was worth $9. But instead spend that money on meat skewers! Lamb was a hit and beef wasn't too bad either! You don't get a lot of meat but two sticks for $4 not too bad! Pork Burger wasn't bad either, add some chili oil and it's pretty fire the chili oil is key to most of the dishes! But the Lamb was definitely the HIGHLIGHT of the meal! My actual vote is 3.5/5!",
"Went here for a soft opening. Food was really good and would recommend. Need to try the soup dumplings."

"This is a cozy, inviting modern Italian restaurant that will be an instant hit for a business lunch or after-5 small plates. There is nothing like it in Franklin/Brentwood. They make their own pasta and flatbreads, which is exciting. \n\nThey have a local Mills Creek Citrus Pale ale, which reminds me of a lighter Boulevard. Get it with a slice of lemon or Orange. \n\nI had a small plate, which is a lot of fun. It's all a la carte - I think for the inexperienced (like me), a \"popular trios\" would help with all the choices. i had peppers and olives and mushrooms which were all over-the-top amazing. I will forever crave the crispy garlic bruschetta with marinated mushrooms and a slight kick. \n\nYou then choose the pasta or flatbread as a base, and then go for a listed flavor combination. I got paprika fettuccine puttanesca-style. \n\nThey just opened 5 days ago. Wines are coming, and the owner came by. Super-nice staff. Grab a date and come.",
"This is hands down the best Italian I've had in Williamson County. We had the Saltimbocca and the Osso Buco with their antipasto platter, it was delicious. Really good birthday dinner, price was reasonable. Hope they stick around!",
"I saw this had finally opened and decided to give it a try for an impromptu dinner with my husband. I'm so glad we did, it was such a nice change from the hum drum Cool Springs restaurants we usually have to choose from. I love the variety in their menu despite the fact it appears small at first glance. Don't be fooled, the entrees can be made as a pasta dish, panini or flatbread, tripling the menu options. We had the mushroom truffle focaccia appetizer and it was delicious. It was the perfect combination of eclectic and comfort food. I chose the Marsala on bucatini and my husband got Puttanesca on penne and we were both impressed with our meals. Andrew, the owner, stopped by our table and made us even more grateful we chose Chrysalis as our dinner option that evening. We had a wonderful finish to our dinner with espressos and tiramisu and I can honestly say I can't wait to return. Next time we will definitely try the charcuterie options. This is wonderfully comforting and satisfying yet light Italian food with a refreshing ambiance that Cool Springs so desperately needed. A great place for lunch or dinner, with a date or family/kids, this is a great addition to the dining options in our area and totally different than anything else available. I'm so happy to have this new restaurant in our neighborhood!",
"I am not one to review places typically but this experience really didn't leave a good impression for my husband and I. First we sat down to only find out that they hadn't attained their liquor license yet so we could only select from beer or soft drinks. If this was a different circumstance we may have walked out at that very moment but we were with our 7month old and getting out of the house is already tricky enough so we still gave it a shot. We started with a few starters like the popcorn which is dusted with porcini powder - underwhelming. We ordered the mushroom toast. Also nothing to ride home about. I didn't find the bread to be good at all. Something about the texture just wasn't right. Then the kicker- I ordered a main because we were starving and my husband and I thought we'd share and get out of there quickly since we were with our little one dining out is a bit unpredictable. I ordered the Marsala with pasta option. I switched out the pork for chicken and it was served with bucatini. The presentation was awful. It was minimal pasta served with overwhelming amount of sauce. The chicken didn't taste fresh, it was cut in cubes already not an appetizing way to present chicken in my opinion. On top of that the chicken tasted like it had been previously frozen or something because it had a weird texture and taste. After trying one piece I decided I couldn't eat the rest. So I just picked at the pasta portion only because again I was so hungry and we bolted out of there. Needless to say we picked up Thai food on our way home because we were still hungry and it was just that bad of an experience. Sorry Chrysalis but today just wasn't your day. Gave it couple stars because ambiance wasn't bad. The place could redeem itself MAYBE once they have real drinks available and have a better chef.",
"A very enjoyable experience. The atmosphere and service was very welcoming. Our server was very informative on the menu and answered every question we had. The food was prepared beautifully and was devine. We had the chartreuse plate, the pork loin marsala, the quattro formaggio, the cannoli and the tiramisu. All were fresh and spot on! The owner and general manager were both very friendly and welcoming. 5 stars all the way!",
"This new Italian eatery just opened in Cool Springs snd it was with much anticipation that I took two friends to dinner tonight. I was met at the door by s waitress who refused to allow me snd my guest to enter the restaurant without out masks ( which we all forgot). While required, the establishment did not provide Mack's so we had to scramble to find other establishments near by to provide them. We then back in snd sent less than 2 feet to our table,\n\nThis aside, we were ready gif a great meal. The same waitress then informed us that there was no wine or cocktails available despite the on line menu offerings. The limited menu offered pasta and a few other items. We selected a number of cheeses and nests for our antipasto and asked gif bread which took a long time to get.\n\nI ordered the paparadelli with the chicken saltimbocca. The other guests ordered pesto bucatini with chicken and paparadelli pasta Alfredo with shrimp. In addition, I ordered the small Caesar's salad.\n\nThe salad arrived with literally 4 Romain leaves , a few crumbled croutons and a minuscule amount of flavorless dressing, The saltimbocca was chopped up chicken with extreme salt soaked pasta. It was completely inedible and I quickly asked for a replacement. In the meantime, both Gherthe said their food was awful. The pesto dish was tasteless and bland. The Alfredo shrimp pasta was simply awful, we had to ask for salt to try to get some taste in the food. \nMy replacement dish was the Puttenesca pasta with chicken which was a little better but very amateurish st best.\nThere was no dessert menu but we told the cannoli was made in lace cookie snd the waitress had no idea if the filling was made with ricotta or not. After dealing dessert, made the mistake of ordering an espresso. I can't put into words how dissatisfied I was with even that! Simply horrid espresso. \n\nThus was one of the worst meals I have had anywhere st any time. \n\nMaybe it will get better but it's going to take a complete overhaul in the kitchen and waitstaff.",
"This place was unbelievable! Everything that we ate was fantastic. High quality ingredients and highly customizable. Each dish you can have made different ways which means there are so many combinations. It will keep you coming back trying it other ways. The ambience is very relaxing and romantic and the dishes are very well thought out and beautiful! If you want amazing Italian, and a unique new approach then just the normal Italian try this place out. You will not be sorry! No idea how someone rated it Low. Must be competition cause this place is phenomenal! \nMike and Court",
"Top notch food and service. I will and have definitely recommended to friends. The Osso Buco was to die for!",
"This place is amazing! We are major foodies, always excited when a new place opens in town. Tried Chrysalis for lunch today and everything was outstanding! Restaurant is well-styled and designed, service was wonderful, and the FOOD!!!! So delicious! The house salad is an absolute must! The customized charcuterie had generous portions and every bite was amazing- even the pistachios! We each had pasta, which was fresh and is made in house. Beer was great too! Make sure you check this place out soon!",
"Went tonight for the first time. Great spot with a nice ambience, delicious menu, and great drinks. Will definitely be visiting again. It's great having a fresh take at a local restaurant because there certainly isn't anything around town like this!"

"I wish there were half star ratings on Yelp, we're really torn between 3 and 4 stars for this place. \nTLDR; Good sushi, good cleanliness, average prices, average/mediocre hibachi, absolutely mediocre service, Umami is still the best in the area. \n\nMy husband and I love sushi and are careful about covid, we decided to check this restaurant out because it's brand new and went during an off-hour in our first weekend eating at sit-down since February. There were a decent amount of pros and cons. I don't know that we'll be back, but we didn't dislike it. \n\nThe prices are on the lower end of average which was nice. We ordered a chicken hibachi to split, kids hibachi, rainbow roll, mango roll, something that started with a t and had seaweed salad in it, and had the usuals that come with those things like salad and soup. The total for all of that was around $58, so not bad at all. \n\nPortion sizes for hibachi were generous, more-so than some places nearby. Our toddler and infant old were easily able to split the kids hibachi and only dig into ours a tiny bit. We easily split the adult portion. The rolls fell apart at times, but they did just open so we believe maybe they have some people in training so we're giving grace there. The hibachi was a little on the high-sodium side but the sushi was delicious and fresh tasting. \n\nWhere they lose stars for us is service. There were only 3 sat-tables in the whole place. Us (2 adults, 2 kids), 1 male \"regular\" alone, and another family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids). There were at least 4 servers or people capable of managing tables. Our server and all of the others spent most of the time chatting with the single male at the table. She came back to us twice realizing she forgot things or waters were empty, apologizing that shes \"busy catching up with (her) regular\". \n\nThe regular in question spent time asking teenage girls their ages and then a bunch of personal information, then tried to engage other tables' kids. That raised massive red flags with us but somehow not with any of the adult staff somehow. I hope management considers some sort of training on how much sharing becomes unsafe, my husband and I were genuinely concerned with his motives. That (nature of conversation) isn't the restaurant's fault and wasn't a determining factor in our star rating, but I'm putting it here in case the business reads it because I care about those employees safety.",
"I used to go to the one in Spring Hill, they were always busy. I went their after they first opened here in Odessa, great sushi with large portions. Plus when you dine in they give a free special roll. Great place to eat with friendly service",
"Best sushi experience around! The atmosphere was so peaceful and amazing. Our server Emily was amazing and made sure we were happy the entire time!(: 100% will be coming back here",
"E-sushi opened nearby recently so we wanted to try it out. We placed a pickup order for lunch on a weekday. We ordered 4 special rolls: King of the Mountain, Lucky Dragon, Lobster General, and E sushi roll.\n\nWhen we arrived, they told us they didn't have lobster salad for the lobster roll, so they substituted crab salad. That's fine, but they still charged me 17.95 for the lobster roll. You would think that making a substitution would at least lower the price, so that was a bit disappointing.\n\nThe King of the Mountain and Lobster general rolls were really dry. I try to avoid using soy sauce because it's salty and sometimes overpowers the fresh sushi, but I needed it for those two rolls. The rice was sticking to my mouth.\n\nThe E sushi roll was my favorite of the four, it had a hint of sweetness, and the avocado kept this roll more moist. Lucky Dragon was also good, again moist from the avocado.\n\nWe've tried sushi all over throughout the years and in the process have become sushi snobs. So I don't think we will be back; the portions are small and it's not my favorite sushi in the area. We don't order sushi often, so when we do, I want it to be better than average.",
"Amazing experience. Great prices and great atmosphere. I got the snow crab and California roll sushi and it was so fresh and tasty. My girlfriend got the vegetable hibachi and the food was cooked to perfection. 10/10 will most definitely come here again!",
"We LOVED our experience at E sushi! I am a sushi lover but pretty picky about it. We loved all 4 rolls we ordered. SO GOOD. We will definitely be back!",
"So first off this place is BEAUTIFUL. It feels humble and peaceful and looks super cool. The food is delicious. Cooked well and no complaints. Compared to a lot of sushi places in the area piece and taste wise this is definitely a winner. I'll definitely be coming back. A LOT.",
"We love this restaurant. Very friendly staff, beautiful inside and outdoor dining options. The food is excellent. We loved the sweetheart roll, lobster roll and holiday roll. Everything was fantastic!",
"So happy we went here this restaurant is gorgeous and serves great sushi. They even give you a complimentary roll which is absolutely delicious as well. The whole staff is very friendly and our server Emily was so sweet and very helpful when we had questions. Overall I had an amazing experience here and this is a place I would recommend to anyone.",
"The sushi is good but the portions are very small. If you want good sushi and you're close, I recommend trying this place. \n\nIf you know upfront that the rolls are small you won't be disappointed like I was."

"This is a great new addition to the Tampa restaurant and bar scene. The interior looks very cool and the outdoor space is amazing (we need more places with outdoor eating and drinking options, also lots of screens and even fire pits!). It's a diverse menu with food that is elevated and delicious without being stuffy. The bar is large and cocktail menu has some unique options. Really enjoyed the live music, can't wait to hear more! Love the Rosie concept too, definitely a must try.",
"Decided to grab dinner here real quick while taking a break from visiting our new son in the NICU. The food, service, and atmosphere were outstanding! Highly recommended!",
"Just moved here and am so glad I found this spot! Vegetarian french onion soup is actually extremely difficult to find and this version was so good ill be back soon. FANtastic service - id give it 6 stars if I could!",
"The place has a very cool vibe on the inside. The staff is all very nice and the riveters burger was very good!",
"This new venue sits right on Dale Mabry, adjacent to the spaceship strip club. Not sure if theyre connected.\nFood is upgraded from the usual sports bar fare.\nMy fried wontons were tasty. My friends tried a jumbo shrimp app that looked good.\nI wouldnt hesitate to eat more here any time.\nThey are striving to be a sports bar, but theyre also starting out with live music. A huge plus.\nProbably DJs will take over sooner or later, but until then, you might catch a good actual band playing.\nThere is a nice balance of outdoor and indoor here. Youll want to stay awhile.",
"Fantastic bar/restaurant with amazing menu of all-scratch cuisine.\n\nStopped here with some friends and my two kids in the early evening after going to an event during the day. Great location, right on Dale Mabry less than a mile south of Raymond James Stadium. Parking was easy and ample. When you roll up, the place is attractive and welcoming.\n\nLots of outdoor seating and live music was a plus! The band playing was contemporary with no singer, but played recognizable songs that had people adding their own vocals.\n\nThe waitstaff was there to greet us and take drink orders as soon as we sat down. The menu selections were dynamic and there was something for everyone - even the kids! Salads, burgers, fresh fish, soups, prime rib, reubens and chicken, just to name a few. \n\nI got the cider tomahawk pork chop with smoked bacon cole slaw and the wildcat shrimp to start. Everything came out cooked perfectly and to temp.\n\nIf you like going to a dinner where the food becomes the main topic, this place is for you! Everyone at the table ate while ranting about how great everything was - yes, even a 6 and 8-year-old. The pork chop was seasoned perfectly and the coke slaw... let me just say I consider myself a bit of a 'slaw connoisseur'... was absolutely amazing! I actually had to get one to-go. All of our meals were nothing short of perfect.\n\nOverall, this establishment earned every on of the 5-stars. From the staff, to the meals, to the bartenders, and even the proprietor who came out and greeted us, making sure we had an excellent experience. We most certainly will be back again and again!",
"The restaurant itself is super cute. Confused on the vibe they are going for. Is it a sports bar or a high class restaurant. The food was\nexpensive and not really that great. We had the fries with the meat- - started with a P, shrimp, and the chicken &waffles. Those funnel cake fries were the best thing we had. The rest of it.. mediocre at best. Everything needed salt. 12-14 dollars for things off the appetizer menu is not for me. We won't be back. I did like the drink I had. Kinda tasted like a strawberry marg. Overall 3 stars for the service and the decor.",
"Amazing food and atmosphere! They also have live music every night. If you go you must try their wings, soooo good!!",
"I come here pretty often for drinks and food with friends. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff (super important to me) and live music too. I definitely recommend it as somewhere to eat and hang out.",
"I wanted to like this place so much more than I did, so we will go back and give it a second shot. First off, the decor is amazing and very well done inside and outside. The outdoor area is super cute and has plenty of space for games or a DJ. There are also tons of TVs for watching sports! The drinks and food paired with the service, however, left much to be desired. \n\nMy husband first ordered a Bud Light draft, and it tasted like a fruity beer and nothing like a Bud Light. I ordered a red sangria that tasted like a watermelon Jolly Rancher, so sweet and nothing like wine! We decided to order some happy hour bites, and got the poutine and chicken tenders. The food was unremarkable, and we would not get those items again but would try something else. \n\nWhile we were sitting at the bar, we could hear other tables complaining about the food and drinks, and the only server there was very overwhelmed even though there were less than 15 guests. Since she was so flustered, we did not say anything about the drinks or food and instead asked for the check to go somewhere else. \n\nLike I said, we will return and give Riveters another chance and hope for a better experience! Clearly still have some kinks to work out, which is expected from a new establishment."

"Fantastic food and great for kids! The cornbread is good, and so is the fried chicken platter. Planning on coming back.",
"What a great find great food great service and fairly priced.\nOwned by a local family give them a try",
"I loved Flannel my one son at pancakes and found them very filling. My other son some kinda bagel with avocado he loved it. I had the chicken and waffles they were very good! Chicken was fried and seasoned very well and I enjoyed. I also had a very good really good Latte not pictured. I will definitely return I noticed a sign that said they had dinner and I'd like to try that menu. The ambience was nice and and easy dinner feel. It was pretty busy for a Saturday morning but we waited 10 maybe 15 minutes. I'd definitely return!",
"The food is great and the staff is cool. The fried chicken and the catfish with the Alabama white sauce is delicious. I'm not a big meat eater and they offer a hummus that is really good too. \n\nI was fortunate to perform at their grand opening which allowed me the free food but I would have happily paid for what I ate and I will be going back early to eat before my next gig there!\n\nNew place, great people, great food!",
"What can I say\nThis was by far the tastiest southern style restaurant I've been to in many years.\nI had the fried chicken. Which was delicious.\nNot greasy very moist. Yum!!!\nThe homemade coleslaw was a perfect balance of taste and ingredients.\nSpouse had the the Short Ribs.\nThey were fall off the bone tender and delicious.\nThe food ,BYOB and the live bands made for a perfect evening.\nHighly recommended!!",
"Came for breakfast this morning and it was AMAZING. Flannel Benny is the perfect combination of savory and sweet and their biscuit with gravy was delicious. My husband ordered the grits, and for someone who typically doesn't like grits, I was blown away with how good the grits were!! Can't wait to come back for dinner soon.",
"Came for brunch on a Monday morning. Had the avocado toast, eggs and home fries, and sides of bacon and scrapple. Very fast service and everything we had was great! Crispy home fries were our favorite. We'll definitely be coming back!",
"The food was excellent! We shared the biscuits & gravy! A must have! The brontosaurus ribs were exceptional. Flannel benne was devoured in record time & the pigs in a blanket were yummy! Service was pleasant & efficient. Loved the atmosphere, clean, pleasant, casual. We will be back!",
"Update: updating this since the owner responded. Appreciate the snarky response. I want to point out that I'm not trying to attack your establishment but wanted to write an honest review. We came in on 10/15/2019. When we ordered the country poutines, the choice we were given by the restaurant was for it to be on home fries or another option (I forgot what that was) . The restaurant had told us they did not prepare regular fries for the country poutines that day. If it was a bad choice to take the poutine gravy with home fries (as the owner responded), then why did the restaurant offered it to us as an option? And Like I said before- we also took fault in that because obviously should have known gravy and home fries are no good together. And I understand the short ribs come with fat, but it was literally all fat - like thick slabs of fat and barely any meat. And if it wasn't good to take out like the owner said .....if the staff had advised us of that then we prob would have listened. Another note : I just asked my BF about the bread on the flannel burger , and he said that the burger came with English muffin bread (NOT brioche bun like the owner said it should have came with ). So i was originally wrong that it came with biscuits. Also, we did not ask for the burger to come on English muffins.. or biscuits... or any other type of bread than what it should have came with. So Thank you and have a great day. \n\nOriginal review : Three stars because the workers there are super friendly and courteous. Minus two stars for the food. We ordered the country poutine and the flannel burger to go. They were out of the regular fries so we agreed on home fries. The country fries were supposed to come with short ribs on top. When we got home, We honestly thought the place mistakenly put pork belly on top, because it was literally SLABS of thick fat on the home fries. The home fires was also greasy and soggy due to the cheese and gravy in it so it was our fault we agreed to the home fries as a replacement). We called the restaurant about the lack of short ribs and they were nice enough to get us our money back via phone. The burger wasn't all that great- it was two burgers on a dry biscuit.",
"As a recently transplanted southerner, I can say that the fried chicken has my complete stamp of approval. I'd eat the s**t out of that stuff. French toast (which is basically extra butter fried pound cake) was unlike I've had, but still managed to remind me of home- approachable, friendly, probably has diabetes."

"We went early on opening day. Food is Americanized, but very good. Pad Thai had great flavor. Pho beef was tender, so I did not mind the thicker slices. Horchata tea was pretty good, it's like a spiced black tea, and boba was soft and chewy. Service was great and we were asked a few times if we needed anything. Inside, the tables and chairs were claustraphocially close together, but they have a nice an outside patio area in the back.",
"Went to Hiccups & Churroholic - Tampa tonight for dinner and got the popcorn chicken, mangonada, pho and shaken beef. \n\nTLDR: will go back to try more of their dishes and definitely churros, but make sure to go at an off-hour. \n\n-Popcorn chicken - by far the best dish they have here. Soft yet slightly crispy with a light herb flavor that can be eaten by itself completely (no sauce needed!) \n\n-Magonada - I really liked their mangonadas because they are super refreshing drink with chunks of mango on top. But it is an acquired taste because it's a combination of sweet, sour, and slightly saltiness all in one.\n\n-pho - I was pleasantly surprised at how good their pho is. It tastes like an authentic pho with the beef broth and herbs. \n\n-shaken beef was alright for me -- the beef chunks are flavorful for tender, but nothing that's super amazing. It's good by itself, but I'd go directly for the pho and the popcorn chicken next time. \n\nA couple of tips:\n\n-they are having a 20% discount on all orders because it's their grand opening weekend.\n\n-parking is a pain on a Friday night in that plaza. Not their fault, but the Anthony's pizza next door does curbside pickup and there's a line of cars that just blocks the driveway so it's VERY hard to even get into that plaza to find parking.\n\n-a LOT of people are in there ordering -- their place only has about 6-8 tables inside but they have two tables on the outside in the front as well as a couple tables on the outside in the back. Even with all that, it is very hard to find seating. \n\n-if you do go, make sure to go on an off hour (definitely not lunch or dinner hours) or you will have to do take out.\n\n-services is really nice and they really cater to your needs. BUT because this is their grand opening weekend and how many people are already there, be prepared to wait for your food.",
"Grand opening weekend & a bonus, everything is 20% off - automatically applied!\n\nLunch specials had just ended from 11-3pm on Mon. - Fri. when I arrived. It was very busy w/a full house including people dining in and putting/picking up To Go order.\n\nClearly, a lot of people have been following their social and this was a hot spot! \n\n***The Churro is dipped in a Matcha (sugary syrup) - I recommend they do a double dip 'cause you can barely taste it (faint flavor). The Fruity Pebble is colorful & provided a nice crunch. The inside of the Churro is moist and outside is covered in cinnamon sugar - very, very good! I also ordered a Taro Boba Milk - the large is actually a big serving - awesome for sharing! Fruity w/a lot of Boba that kept on getting stuck in my straw - they were clumping together.***\n\nI am giving them 5 stars (4.5/5 experience) because it's hard work opening a restaurant during a pandemic. Also, they were so sweet to be giving samples of smoothie & Chocolate Sprinkle Churro. Yes, I did wait quite some time for my Matcha Pebble Churro, but they make it fresh and on at least two occasions I was asked if I had been helped, so I really appreciated the detailed service!\n\nParking is shared w/Maple Street + other businesses, inside includes 6 tables w/a few spots for outdoor dining & it's a Spanish/Asian fusion - they serve Pad Thai, Beef Pho, Shaking Beef entrees, etc.!",
"We went there to take advantage of their lunch special. I was expecting a half portion for lunch but very surprised at their portions! The Garlic Noodles with Shaken beef made me shake with excitement. The flavors were on point. We had a bit of a snafu when it came to ordering the Kim Chee Fried Rice as they didn't have it on the POS System. They ordered it as Orange Chicken and it came out as Orange Chicken. Opening blues which I can totally understand. The namesake churros here are very good. They are crispy yet tender on the inside and made very fresh. I ordered the OG (cinnamon sugar) and the Matcha Pebbles. I prefer the OG. If you're in the area and want to try some delicious Asian food and top it off with amazing churros, this is a must try.",
"This place is so cute and quirky, I wanted to try the churros and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The owner is so nice and everyone is very pleasant. They also have Taro Milk Tea, and Thai milk tea that I can't wait to try next time. Definitely will be back to try a few other things on the menu and more churros!",
"Why 5 stars? Because I'm so glad this is finally a part of my neighborhood.\n\n --- --- ---\n\nI feel so badly for the owners of Hiccups & Churrholic. They seemed to be on pace to open this restaurant nearly a year ago, right before this little thing called COVID-19 showed up in our lives. The trials and tribulations of small business owners in this time cannot be overstated and these folks are a prime example of that. I cannot even begin to understand what they have been through in the last year, but fortunately we live in a state that is doing its best to help businesses make the best of a bad situation. \n\nTo add to that, I visited on the third day Hiccups opened and it was packed. After all they've been through, I couldn't be happier to see it! But I was happy that I'd called in ahead, as my food was ready when I arrived.\n\nThe thing my wife and I knew would be the #1 priority on our list were the garlic noodles. We added the shaken beef as our protein. We had garlic noodles in Hawaii a few years ago that we still talk about to this day, so we were pumped to see them on the menu. Unfortunately, they didn't quite taste like that, but they did taste like really delicious lo mein noodles. We wished the veggies were sliced a little thinner, but overall, it was an enjoyable dish.\n\nWe also ordered popcorn chicken with fried rice. The rice was as good as it gets. The popcorn chicken was quite tasty and plentiful. You get a ton of bang for your buck with this dish!\n\nI actually think my favorite thing I ate were the cajun wings. I will definitely be ordering them again!\n\nI also loved my taro smoothie with boba. They actually ran out of regular boba, so I had to replace it with crystal boba, which I'd never had before, but really liked it! It was a bit more chewy than regular boba... I might have to order that on purpose next time!\n\nAnd we finished it off with a coconut chocolate churro, which was wonderful.\n\nAll in all, we will probably come here quite frequently, especially for boba and other treats. Kudos to these business owners for persevering and making Carrollwood just a little bit cooler than it was before January 8, 2021.",
"Wow, truly unique and so many great things to try here.\nThe favorite was the Wings with buffalo sauce, they use lots of sauce and the sauce is really really good. \nA lot of other reviews recommend the popcorn chicken and that's the only reason why I got them, now I gotta recommend them too! They come out hot and crunchy with sweet and sour sauce for dipping. Some of the pieces were pretty big but I didn't mind. \nThe combination Pho had very good broth and lots of meat, but this bowl is huge, it's too much food if you're not starving. \nThe Churros: if you're eating in, wait to order these until after you're done with your main meal, they come out fast and are best when hot and fresh. \nMy favorite was the Matcha Pebbles, you don't really taste the matcha but you do notice the sweet and crunchy Pebbles. The Cookies and Cream and the Chocolate Almonds tasted almost exactly the same, basically churros with chocolate dip.",
"(They were extremely busy due to grand opening) My boyfriend and I went there to try the popcorn chicken and pho but unfortunately they couldn't serve the chicken temporarily due to the fryers. The manager came to our table and let us know and offered us anything else. We ended up getting beef stir fry instead and it was delicious. \nThrough out our wait staff was constantly out in the dining area checking on everyone. They were very polite and helpful. They even offered us samples of the taro tea smoothie and the mango one. (Both were delicious)\nUnfortunately I believe they lost our Pho order and we waited about 15 min after we already got the stir fry. The manager offered us a free churo after our meal for the inconvenience and gave us each our own! \nThey were completely overwhelmed with orders but everyone stayed very focused and did their best to get everything out as quickly as possible. \nIt was very clean with the cutest little inside dining area. Super friendly/welcoming/hard working staff. \nGreat job! Can't wait to go back and try the popcorn chicken next time.",
"Slight \"hiccup\" with online ordering required us to wait 45 minutes after our scheduled pick up; however, it's their second week open, so that's understandable.... they gave us a free milk tea for the wait. Great milk teas and churros!",
"I found out about this lovely new spot from YelpTampaBay on Instagram! I saw a wonderful picture of a delicious churro and I had to have one! I set out on my journey the next morning to this location and did not regret my choice!\nI arrived during their Grand Opening week and got 20% off my order! The restaurant is so cute and a little compact but they also have outdoor seating in the back! There were live flowers around which lit up the restaurant with a vibrancy! The staff were very friendly but very busy! They had a good crowd for a Saturday afternoon!\n\nI tried their regular cinnamon and sugar churro and their fruity pebbles matcha glazed churro! Both were delicious! The drinks we ordered were AMAZING!!! The Mango Mango was great but I loved the Strawberry Twist! I also added Bobo and Lychee to it. The fried rice dishes were delicious and so was the shrimp and noodles! My pictures don't do their food justice! They knocked it out of the park! I highly recommend!"

"I'm not a big fan of Chick-fil-A to begin with but my wife requested to try it. Granted this restaurant has been opened less than a month but the over management of the place fails to deliver. Upon my arrival there was a double line of cars stretching back over a block outside of the parking lot with police to control the traffic. I had entered the lot and parked and proceeded to enter and I was told due to COVID the dining room was closed, I told them I wasn't eating there but to simply order take out. I was told I couldn't order inside but had to order from their app and to wait in a spot for my food. I had to go across the road to download the app because within close proximity of the building, produced a dead spot. I even tried using their wifi, but it told me there was no internet connection. I ordered my food across the street and provided the parking spot number when requested. Now I waited for my food, 15 min turned to 30 when I asked someone what is happening to my food, I was told they were busy. Chick-fil-A serves fried chicken and fries, it's not like this is a Michelin 3 star restaurant cooking epicurean specialties. After 40 mins I began to grow impatient for my food as others stood by the door waiting, one woman had been there nearly an hour. I now realized why the drive thru lanes were so long, if folks were waiting in line 30-60 mins for food. We were all told there were glitches with the equipment, busy, etc. There is a reason why restaurants have soft openings, and to work out kinks, but Chick-fil-A in their zeal to open and make money, failed to do this and the customers have probably been suffering all along. \nThere is a PDQ just up the street that serves the same fried chicken and waffle fries. For the unsuspecting folks out there who think Chick-fil-A is worth the time and money, believe me it's NOT.\nIf I never return to this place it'll be too soon!!!",
"Ordered via the app in order to avoid the wait in line. Arrived and still had to wait about an hour. Got out of the car and had to go to the door to ask about my order. They had no idea where it was. Several other people were waiting and had to exit their vehicles and go to the door to ask for their orders. When they finally brought my food out, it was COLD! I understand that the establishment is new, but the service needs work, because it is not up to Chick-fil-A standards...",
"Even though they are still working out the kinks here, it's always a great experience at chick fil a. The staff is very friendly and quality is always fantastic.\n\nIt's a new system to enter, so be advised to come in from the north side. Your best option would be to turn next to longhorn and drive the frontage road by Texas Roadhouse.",
"Another successful Chick-fil-A. The staff was friendly and helpful but you could tell they were new. The entry lines were moving steadily but as usual, packed. A lot of people entered from the South, which resulted in backups into the main traffic areas. This was not a good idea, but it seems like some motorist have to be told how to drive their cars these days. Enter from the North on the frontage road and you should not have any problems accessing the area to order. The exit is through the neighboring parking lot or back out onto the main road. It nice to have one local now and although they never seem to slow down, the system is in place to improve. If they ever open up the inside portion I think the traffic will become an issue again. Parking area seems to be lacking. All in all, the service and food was what to be expected from this great company.",
"I hope they figure it out in this location, been in line an hour. I'm stuck in line at this point. I'm currently watching police attend to the mayhem of the line",
"This location sucks. I realize it's brand new so I get they have some kinks to work out but I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt to be let down. This is my third time here waiting 30+ minutes with a screaming baby & toddler. Have tried the order in the app (waited almost an hour) & thought the drive through would be better. I'm writing this at the 30 minute mark in the drive thru & nowhere close to getting my food. I love chick fil a but not enough to wait longer than I would wait at a sit down restaurant.",
"Not impressed. What are takers outside trying to take orders before you get to the menu board, very slow to move through drive-through. I'm not sure if it is disorganized inside or if there are simple systematic issues. This is not a good Chick-fil-A.",
"This is the slowest Chick Fil A I've ever been to. With covid being around they should expect the influx of customers from the drive through.",
"This is my second time at this Chick-fil-A and my second bad experience. I've been on weeknights around 5pm both times and waited over an hour for food. The first time I was trapped in the drive-thru for over an hour; this time I ordered ahead and sat in a parking spot for almost an hour. My order was cancelled, I spoke to someone who had the order and said it would get made right away, then he came back 10 minutes later to say I had to order again through the app. All with 2 frustrated toddlers in the backseat. If it were convenient to get out of the parking lot, I would have left and gone literally anywhere else.",
"Very poor drive through design, horrible lines and the wait was ridiculous!!!! I've never ever had to wait so long for a Chick fil a meal, almost 30 minutes! If you have a large truck, it's difficult navigating through the poor design flaws of this location. While the food is always great, I'll likely not visit this location again!"

"Wow! We visited this place yesterday for lunch and it certainly did not disappoint. The atmosphere was so lively and fun, and the food was delicious! Their menu is small but I think that's nice because the quality of each food item is top notch. For appetizers we ordered fresh guacamole and chips - I couldn't stop eating them. Then we also tried the nachos - mouth drooling. So good! For my main menu item I asked for a Birria Burro which wasn't in the menu but they made it, and it was so flavorful and just a very filling burrito. My sister ordered the chicken tortilla soup and that also looked so delicious! Loved the ambiance and would come back again. They have outdoor dining as well. With COVID, they also have shields between each table inside which I liked. This layer of safety also didn't take away from the visual appeal of the aesthetic. So that was nice. Can't wait to come back. And I know parking can be a deterrent when it comes to downtown but they're actually right across the street from the parking garage so I considered that a bonus too!",
"This is a new restaurant in Tucson and it is very good ! Authentic Mexican food made in house and you can taste how pure and real the taste is. They also follow COVID precautions excellent ! They have barriers next to each table to have the guests feel more comfortable. Alonso was my server and he did great! This is a perfect place to support, we will be back :)",
"Excellent food. Everything was fresh and well cooked. I'm a great believer in doing a few good things with excellence rather than trying g to be all things to all people. This menu reflects that. I had the chilaquiles devorciados and they were very very good. The salsa roja is spicy and I could have licked it off the plate. Don't forget to try one of the aguas -- I had the pepino. I could have drank a gallon of that good stuff. \nWe will certainly go back -- and it's wonderful to find a downtown restaurant that is open on Sundays! I encourage all of you to go and support this new local place.",
"First off over an hour wait even though others were being seated when they walked up. Didn't tell us the wait time when we asked. Finally Sat us down took our drink order then our food order, ordered waters never brought them had to go up to the bar to get waters. 45min we waited for the food. Food comes out chilaquiles were literally chips with the sauce on top. And the food was pretty cold. For all the ones that ordered it. Eggs weren't cooked right. The steak was so bad 3 of my friends didn't finish half their meal. And one of my friends dishes took an extra 5 min to come out. Eating my meal to notice the barcode sticker was still on the dish where the food sits so guessing my plate was never washed. Server never checked on us only until the end. I get it's a pretty new place. But it was one thing after another. Other restaurants would seem to acknowledge the fact.. after awhile it was just a joke and we couldn't stop laughing about what else could go wrong.",
"This was a great brunch spot. Menu is short and sweet. Food tasted authentic, and flavorful. Has good service; could eat inside or outside. All the food from the appetizers to dessert exceeded expectations!",
"First off, it made me chuckle when I opened the door to enter the restaurant and the gentleman at the door greeted me with \"welcome to la chingada.\" Mexican Spanish speakers find it a kick. The food was delicious and the beverages are pretty good. I found the agua de sandía to be a little underwhelming, but in all fairness, it's not watermelon season. I look forward to trying it in the summer. The agua de pepino is delicious and refreshing. The Mazapán horchata is a fun twist.",
"It's a new restaurant with a catchy name so of course it's busy. Way to be sitting inside is about 20 to 30 minutes on a Sunday around noon. We didn't Wait since we ate outside of course the sun was bright but the food is delicious and reasonably priced for a being downtown.",
"Dios mio! Look out Arizona, this place is gonna blow up! I've lived in Arizona for over ten years now and this gem of a restaurant is hands down the BEST Sonoran Mexican joint I've been to. The food is impeccable, portions perfect, and the aquas amazing! Very laid back atmosphere but the hustle and bustle of the friendly staff lets you know they mean business. The restaurant is clean, well laid out, and there is easily accesible parking in the rear. COVID precautions are taken seriously here but you will barely feel their impact. You will not be disappointed!",
"What a treat finding La Chinga, thanks Yelp for suggesting. It has only been open 4 weeks. Great place and super food. Drinks too",
"Wow, so good! I loved the atmosphere and I loved the food even more. I got the enchilada trio and all 3 sauces were delicious, my partner got the birria tacos and said they were fantastic. It's a lively casual spot and we'll definitely be back."

"Waitress was super sweet but unfortunately my family had to have two uncomfortable conversations of wrong orders with her. THE FOOD WAS BLAND. None of us ate anything. Everything there ran like a new restaurant and they need to season their food if they charge 14$ for a salad. Drinks were good.",
"We had a lot of fun checking out this new arrival to the Gulfport scene! \nWent on a Saturday evening with a group of seven and sat at the bar, where the marvelous Kyrie saw to our food and drink orders with effusive charm and efficiency. She made solid recommendations about the selection of margaritas and the food menu - her enthusiastic endorsement of the Queso Fundido on the apps menu was spot on, and the seasonal margarita (guava flavored, currently) was delicious.\nSince we'd been out to a few spots earlier in the evening, we weren't super hungry, so after the queso fundido Mel and I opted to split the Azteca Mac n' Cheese, which had pulled pork AND chorizo in it. Flavors were more subtle than I expected, but the benefit of that is that everything blended very well. Give it a try - as the place is new, I'd be interested to see if the flavor of the dish changes as the staff settles in.\nWe'll definitely be back to try their entrees soon, but just on the first visit I'm happy to say this one's worth a try, especially if you like Mexican food and you're down for top shelf tequila. Oh, and one last recommendation - ask Kyrie to try the Don Ramón Reserva Anejo. Smoky with caramel notes, it's a fantastic sipping tequila!",
"Couldn't wait to try Sea Dog Cantina in Gulfport. Three of us arrived around 6pm last night (Thursday 2/27). We found seats at the bar in the back. It was busy but not overwhelming. We got situated and reviewed the menu for happy hour specials. We like to go out to different places and catch at least some portion of HH. Once we each decided on drinks we waited for the bartender to come over and take our order. After about 10 minutes she did. Two of us order skinny margaritas and one ordered a tequila old fashioned which was on the HH menu. None of which were anything to write home about. In fact I ended up drinking my friends skinny and she switched to a coke. It wasn't a skinny margarita, but I didn't say anything to the bartender because we had already waited so long. I noticed a couple near us order drinks and the lady crinkled her nose when she tasted hers too. To be honest I think both the bartenders were new because they kept looking at recipes, and counting while they made the drinks.\n Ordered two appetizers to start; salsa trio and the guacamole. When it came out the guacamole was in a thimble size cup, and was sitting on the salsa trio plate. We assumed it was part of the salsa trio order. We waited and waited for the guacamole to arrive. Finally we caught the bartenders attention and ask her if the thimble sized guacamole was the \"appetizer.\" She said no it was a side of guacamole and she must of rung it up wrong. Soon we got the actual appetizer. Okay, we all make mistakes let's give the food a chance. \nWe then proceeded to order dinner: burrito, beyond tacos and a quinoa bowl. All three were just ok. Nothing to make you say \"we have to come back.\" Luckily we sat near a wait station where could grab silverware, plates, hot sauce, and a to go box, because the bartenders were terrible when it came to waiting on us. Guess they were busy reading the recipes. In fairness I think they did check on us once, after we finished eating. When a reviewed the bill they actually charged us for the thimble size guacamole too. Really? \nI know it is very new, but they really need to get some bartenders in there. It's okay if you don't know all the drinks but basic stuff shouldn't be that hard. Moreover, have a personality. We go out quite often and love sitting at the bar wherever we go. We like to interact with the bartenders and we like to be waited on. Subsequently we generally leave a damn good tip. \nWe'll give it some time a try it once more. Hopefully it will be better. The decor and vibe both have potential! Chips were good.",
"Absolutely wonderful service by Dani. She made us feel completely at home and even made some great recommendations. The margaritas were fantastic and I loved the Pollo relleno. Looking forward to coming back for another meal!",
"The margaritas were nice and strong and smooth. The blood orange margarita was decently flavored but the cucumber was a little light in the cucumber rosemary margarita. The salsa was okay and it was only a few extra dollars to add guac. I wanted a little more kick and flavor, so we wound up adding the hot sauce to them. The heat was a little less than mild. My girlfriend got the beyond tacos, and said they were good but wished they had a little more \"meat\". The chimicurri was okay but a I expected a little more. The steak was medium well to well (more of a medium fan) and could have been marinated a little longer. A little oily as well. The sides of green beans threw me off. I was expecting something a little more on theme when it said seasonable veggie. Overall though it was a pretty decent and cheaper price with the exception of the steak and definitely would go again. The space is nice and I love the bar space in the back. Vegan friendly.",
"This was our second visit in a week. The first visit was great, and so we decided to return. Chalk it up to growing pains, but it was awful. Food was fine. Drinks were weak. But the service was really the killer. No one acknowledged us for a really long time. We ended up ordering our own drinks at the bar. Finally, someone was \"assigned\" to us and she was pleasant but very unprepared for even waiting on a table. The restaurant was loud. The atmosphere was chaotic and crazy. We cancelled our dessert just to get out of there. Super disappointing. Get it together or try a new venture, folks.",
"The food was amazing! The three stars is simply this- don't charge for a very small portion of chips and salsa! It was such a bougie serving of a staple at any Mexican restaurant. Charging for chips and salsa is always no bueno but charging and bringing out a mini bag of chips is an insult! Now quac on the other side...\nNow, back to the food. I didn't get tacos, I ordered the chorizo black bean chili. It was delish! Full of flavor and heat. My side was the rice and beans. Rice was good, beans were not.\nThe hubby got the braised beef tacos and had to order more chips because that salsa was amazing!! The portion for $4.50 a taco was skimpy and it's a shame you can't mix and match.\nTo drink we're overpriced beers, the hubs paid $7! However, my $8 blood orange margarita packed a punch of tequila so I won't complain too much on the small portion.\nOverall amazing food, just a bit pricey for the amount you're getting... it's (small) tacos!",
"Our community chorus is always looking for a good spot for food and drink after rehearsal on Monday nights, around 9pm. That's not easy to find around St Pete! Last night we decided to try Sea Dog Cantina, and it was awesome! They took care of our group of twenty quickly with great service and amazing food and drink. We'll be back!",
"You can't beat the flavor and their food offerings. The food tastes that good. My wife loved her margarita. She ordered the blood orange and got another.\nThey lost a star due to small portions. My beef tacos were small. The chips and salsa was small. \nI want to go back to try more beer.\nI'd go again.",
"A great place for delicious MEXICAN food and the dessert is to die for. Very courteous and efficient service including the waiter (Forest) running next Dior to get me a great double espresso from a specialty coffee shop. The bill was very reasonable also."

"Awesome new spot, on Main Street st. Charles! Fresh, tasty food! I can't wait to come back for dinner. The inside is absolutely a change of fresh air for the area. The inside reminds me of a restaurant in Florida I visited. Pretty cool! If you're in the area stop by, you won't be disappointed!",
"Great Brunch!\nCreative menu \nBiscuits & Gravy / Chorizo Egg Benedict was Fantastic \nGreat Service too.",
"Came here for Sunday brunch. Several good selections on their menu. My husband had the spicy blood Mary which was fantastic. We ordered eggs Benedict, chorizo Benedict, and Cajun biscuits and gravy to try. The server was prompt with drinks and taking orders. But the food took a while to come out despite the restaurant not being busy at all. Our next table got their food before we did, despite getting here after us. When the food came out, the hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict was badly cracked or something. The butter was pooling on the bottom of the plate and the English muffin was soggy (probably soaked up the butter). We had to send it back. The chorizo Benedict was very yummy. The taste is definitely a departure from regular eggs Benedict but in a unique way. The only thing they could have improved upon is making the poached eggs less cooked (more runny). My husband enjoyed the Cajun biscuits and gravy but I didn't care for it. It could have been spicier. Lastly, the replacement eggs Benedict was cooked nicely. The eggs poached pretty perfect. The hollandaise sauce was very basic but at least good in consistency. The English muffins were way too big, which made the diced ham looked tiny. \n\nThe prices on the brunch menu were very reasonable. With a 20% check in coupon, it came to $28 for all 3 dishes and the drink. The service was good and the staff was apologetic for the first eggs Benedict. I would recommend this place for others to try. The restaurant hopefully will grow and improve.",
"There is not a single thing I've tried here that I didn't love! The shrimp po boy is phenomenal & the flatbreads are as well. If you're looking for a great atmosphere & great food this is the place!",
"Absolutely great food, and amazing cocktails. You gotta try the smoked old fashioned!",
"This is a spot I've been waiting for! Great spot for great food and fantastic mixup on classic cocktails! Really would recommend coming in!",
"Great new spot on Main Street! Diverse menu offering from chorizo eggs benedict to poke bowl. Specialty cocktails and beautiful aesthetic on the interior, with patio! Much needed addition to downtown St. Charles! Brunch that starts at 10am? I'm in!",
"This is a very nice and clean restaurant. They food was delicious I had the Chicken and Waffles and they were spectacular. I also had bread pudding for dessert, it was so pretty and delicious.",
"Overall I thought this place was pretty good. We came in on a Friday evening at 6:30. Not very busy but no small tables available so we had to sit at the bar. The food was delicious. Quick and presented well. We got the Avocado poke bowl (super fresh), mahi mahi tacos (topping was so good). Shrimp and black bean bruschetta (decent), chicken Florentine flat bread (great crust), and beef satay (husband liked but I didn't care for the sauce). You can definitely tell the staff is NEW! We had four people behind the bar (we are the only ones at the bar) and still had issues getting drinks refilled and being consistent. We will be going back because the food was that good! Worth a try!",
"Excellent food and love something that offers tapas. Outside seating and very COVID-19 friendly atmosphere. It's the old R.T. Wailers restaurant. Our server was Angie and she was great offering suggestions and extremely pleasant."

"Miranda Lambert's \"Casa Rosa\" Tex-next restaurant has opened. The Carnitas tacos were very delish. I ate so fast I forgot to take a photo. Sorry Yelpers ... \n\nWill have to try a few other items in my remaining days here in Nashville.",
"This is a tough one. I was so excited to find out that Casa Rosa would be opening my last night in Nashville. The atmosphere and decor were amazing, it's a great addition to Broadway.\n\nWe ordered two of the brisket burritos, which is supposed to come with a salsa verde sauce. Unfortunately, they both came out smothered in hot sauce...just straight up hot sauce. I never send food back but I didn't receive what I actually ordered. It was their first night open so I was not upset by the mistake, things happen and they were bound to have a few kinks to work out. The waitress had no idea whether it was suppose to come with hot sauce or not. Seemed totally confused by the situation and said she didn't know the menu. Again, it was the first night so I get it but also the wait staff should have been trained/given time to learn the menu. Even then, not such a big deal.\n\nMy real problem is that once our food came out correctly it was kind of cold. Like they threw it together quickly to get it to us after making the mistake. Also, we were seated right at the POS system where management had been hanging out almost the entire time and they never came over to say anything to us about the mishap. I didn't expect anything to be taken off of our bill as we ate the food when it was correct. BUT one of them coming over to apologize and just provide good customer service would have been nice/enough. They didn't seem friendly, stood there most of the time with miserable looks on their faces. As I said, it was the first night open so I didn't expect perfection but management could have made sure our experience was better by just stopping by and saying \"hey, it's our first night we're sorry about that!\" \n\nI look forward to my next visit after things have been running for a while. Hoping to change my review.",
"SO GOOD. The place is so cute and our food came SO FAST. We had a group of 11 and sat by the window. Live music downstairs. Cute photo ops and wonderful service for only being open for 2 days. Will for sure come back!",
"Good food, especially the nachos and brisket quesadilla! I had great drinks, for a reasonable price, a wonderful waitress, but I had a horrible experience with management. \n\nUnfortunately there was a grouchy female manager who walked in to the restroom and announced that she would be closing a tab for my myself, a friend, and my dad shortly after our meal began. My friend and I went to the bathroom on the second floor near our table. I have anxiety about touching public surfaces, especially since the start of COVID as I am immune compromised. My friend opens, closes, locks, and touches surfaces for me to help ease the anxiety when situations arise. As I began using the restroom, the manager knocked and informed myself and our guests that our tab would be closed. I said that is absolutely understandable and we would be happy to leave if it would make her more comfortable . She kept repeating that she would close the tab, which l told her was completely fine, as my guests and I just yearned for the experience of the restaurant since it opened only 3 days ago, and atmosphere more than anything, including the drinks. I really enjoyed this restaurant. The line was short for the bar, and we got in on a Saturday within 15 minutes. It was only a 30 minute wait for the restaurant, and they texted us when they were ready. I just wish management wouldn't have been so aggressive to us for using the same stall since other guests were occupying the other one, and been more understanding to mental health concerns, especially during this day in age. It seemed like it bothered her more that were using a restroom quickly one after the other than two full paying, tipping customers. Apparently for the bridal party that was ok, but not for us.\n\nOther then that, I recommended going, just don't bother using a bathroom stall with a friend. Also--don't forget to stop on the way out to the gift shop for a cute tee!",
"My sister and I came in a couple days ago during our first trip to Nashville! We sat at the bar on the second level. \n\nI had the Miss Ohio and my sister got the Locomotive. I'm in love with all things raspberries so this margarita was amazing. \n\nWe started off with the Elote Quesadilla. It came with just regular corn. I was expecting the corn to be tossed in mayo and cotija cheese. That would have been an explosion in my mouth and the corn wouldn't fall all over the place. \n\nThe entrees that stole the show were the Barbacoa tacos and the Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles. Holy heck. I wanted to buy another order of each. The barbacoa was juicy and savory. The cornbread waffle was to die for. My sister thought the chicken could have had a bit more of a kick, but I thought it was perfect! \n\nThe bartenders were super sweet and welcoming. One admitted to not knowing much about Miranda, which we weren't going to fault him on. I would definitely suggest maybe sharing some fun facts with staff members especially regarding the memorabilia. This would add to the experience.\n\nI definitely cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu!!",
"I popped in for a drink and had easy service. This is a great, chic, more feminine addition to the male centric bars on broadway. Great drink selection, and they were strong! Didn't eat but the food I saw pass by looked great! Will definitely come back on my next trip.",
"If you're looking for a great taco and margarita combo... this place is it. It's also great to see a female addition to a very male-dominated broadway! Would definitely recommend!",
"Cute decor & the Barbacoa Tacos were absolutely the BEST we've had in a long time! The flavor was excellent & the pickled onions topping them off were the perfect touch! Chips & salsa yummy too....we'll be back!!",
"Really great experience. The food was delicious, service was a little slow but our waiter was very nice and accommodating. The beef tacos were delicious, as was the queso. I got Miranda's Margarita and it was strong but delicious. The interior is so cute and insta worthy, I will def come back!",
"We had the shrimp fajitas w/ guacamole. They were good, but not out of this world. You really pay for the atmosphere here it's absolutely gorgeous inside. Comfortable seating and decent food, would come back again!"

"I am so incredibly excited to have a new summer spot to hang out. Every item was delicious. I had the cucumber cooler (I think it's called) and my boyfriend had the new fashioned, both absolutely delicious. If you're a whiskey drinker, try that new fashioned! Appetizers, entrees & dessert: absolutely to die for. We had Lisa as our server and she was so lovely. 10/10 dining experience. You gained a new couple of regulars!",
"My husband and I joined a friend for a late lunch today. Crave is a convenient location with a lot of parking. The physical building is stunning on the outside and posh, but casual on inside. There was an upstairs patio bar that we did not tour, but our waitress Alex said it had a more relaxed menu with some sushi options. We stayed inside on the ground level, but there was an outdoor dinning option on that level as well. There was also a private dinning room for parties up to 50. There was adequate social distancing and wait staff were wearing masks per health department's Covid requirements. We ordered a variety of dishes including tortilla soup, ceviche, and Cobb salads. The portions are generous. The consensus was that the tortilla soup was the best we have ever had. The ceviche was fresh. The Cobb salad was served with a ranch dressing rather than blue cheese. It had more flavor when a side of vinaigrette was added. Overall, it was an excellent dinning experience with good food in a pleasant environment. This was Crave's second day open. Kudos to a new restaraunt and new staff for making such a wonderful first impression.",
"We are so excited about this new restaurant came to town! We had the artichoke dip, which is like none we have ever tasted. My boyfriend had the chicken sandwich. The fries didn't seem fried, more like air fried and the chicken was sliced/shredded and fresh. The service was out of this world. The rooftop bar wasn't open but we did a tour and it's definitely going to be the spot. Trendy, clean, professional and the service gets a 10. Definitely a date night, client meeting or a chill happy hour location. You won't be disappointed. It's our new favorite place, hands down.",
"Fantastic new addition to the Eagle dinning scene. It's great to have another great option to eat and relax on a patio without having to drive to Boise.\n\nWe started with the Hummus and it was very tasty. The burrata salad was as good as the presentation. For my main meal I ordered the halibut and they nailed it. Looking forward to many more meals at Crave.",
"We had our first experience at Crace in Eagle this evening. They have been open 4 days and clearly have the best chef in town! We sampled about tuna and salmon tartar, short ribs, ribeye steak, shrimp and seared ahi...everything was AMAZING! My favorite was probably the mushroom couscous...omg - best ever! The staff are super friendly and CWRY important to us was that everyone was wearing masks and Covid protocol being followed. Cannot forget the beautiful rooftop deck for drinks before dinner. We will be back often...we can walk to Crave from our house which is lovely!",
"Incredible service, great atmosphere, and delicious food! We came in on a Friday afternoon, sat on the patio and enjoyed high class service for affordable prices. We ordered the strawberry avocado toast which was a perfect blend of sweet, tart and savory. We then tried the Thai noodle salad with filet and the crispy chicken sandwich. The salad was a little small for the price but it was absolutely delicious. The sandwich was huge, the chicken was tender and moist, the sandwich was flavorful and light. We highly recommend this place and will be back.",
"First time here and I was blown away! The food is out of this world. The gluten chocolate cake will change your life. The views are breathtaking, it doesn't get any better then Crave",
"Epic place! You will love this place. Excellent staff, excellent food and the most amazing mixed drinks in the valley. If you want to get something amazing try the crispy chicken sandwich. Great to have Crave open in eagle to help diversify our restaurant scene.",
"Ordered the poke, avocado salad and tortilla soup to go. Flavors were lacking for the price of food. We got 3 bowls of soup, 1 was a little more than half way full and the other 2 were only a quarter way full.. overall I think they charge way too much for flavorless food...",
"I just went to this restaurant and highly recommend it. Great atmosphere along fantastic drinks and food. The service was outstanding too."

"Mom's cooking but with a twist! I ordered the Set 1 with fried chicken. It came with ginger rice and it tasted just like the one my mom used to made when I was little. You can get the steamed chicken, which is more traditional, or the fried one, which was perfect. The meat was juicy and flavorful, the batter stayed crispy even when I got home. The sauce was the perfect amount of hot, sour and sweet! I whished there was a tiny more pickled veggies though. The price was 9,99 and included a canned soda and a chicken broth with white radish. Very good! Service was great, the girl working there was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back since I live near by.",
"This place just opened last Friday, and my husband and I have gotten takeout twice! Pricing is excellent for the sets although it was not clear from the menu that there is an extra charge if you get mixed meat (both fried and boiled chicken). Both are delicious, as are the rice and soup that come with the set. I can only imagine how difficult it is to open up a restaurant during the pandemic and hope that they will continue to do well.",
"Visited during covid\n\nWalked by and saw signs for 海南雞飯！\n\nThey just opened last week. They have the normal han-nan chicken and fried version\n\nGood flavor... but I do prefer the fried version... which is odd.. I usually like the normal version more\n\nWould like to try it there instead of take home",
"Couldn't decide between the boiled or fried so I got the mixed set. Loved both and the sauce made it even better! Substituted the free drink with Thai tea and it was super refreshing.",
"Really delicious at a great price. We got the boiled chicken and rice set for 2 people (takeout), and enjoyed the tender chicken (reminiscent of Hainanese chicken), rice, and soup. Hits the spot on a cold night. Also like that the chicken and rice are wrapped in waxed paper - feels less wasteful than the styrofoam or plastic containers you often get with takeout.",
"My 2nd time here ordered Set 3. The chicken rice with soup were amazing combinations especially with the special chilli sauce. The Fried chicken is well flavoured and boiled chicken is very tender. The fried dumplings was also lightly crispy. The ginger rice and garlic sauce really added to the flavour. The staff are nice and friendly, the service was quick and professional. Definitely come back.",
"After seeing reviews of the newly opened Hainanese chicken rice restaurant on Yelp, I was excited to check out Cily Chicken Rice. \n\nI grew up eating Hainanese chicken rice, so I am going to be biased of course, and had high expectations going in. \n\nI am used to Hainanese chicken being poached in stock with ginger and scallions, which would make the chicken flavorful. Cily's boiled chicken tasted pretty bland. The sauces that were provided did compliment the chicken nicely though. I also liked that the chicken was served warm, unlike Penang's. \n\nThe fried chicken, on the other hand was delicious. I would recommend this over the boiled chicken.\n\nAs for the chicken rice, it wasn't seasoned and could use more chicken fat. Our set for two also came with two bowls of broth, with generous pieces of radish in it, which I enjoyed.",
"A unique addition to Chinatown with this thai street food restaurant! Who doesn't love the concept of cheap but tasty street food that hits the spot when you're thinking of where to get a meal? I preferred the fried chicken over ginger rice vs the boiled chicken due to the crisp and complementary flavour of the fried chicken that stood out more. Probably not healthier... but it's a street for concept, so I can cheat a little :) \n\nAlso as a heads up, they sell or include gizzard and chicken liver in the dish, honestly one of my favs (but be warned there's no salt, which they flavored it). But this is probably not the ideal for everyone who gets queasy thinking about eating innards, so you can just tell them \"no thanks\". Or you can be daring...",
"Ordered take out, food are well packaged, still warm when received. Delicious chicken and rice, and I love the sauces. Friendly owner and staff. \nPortion is perfect for me, might be a little small for bigger person. However, since the price is pretty good, you can just order a bigger one or another one. \nDo recommend to try both boiled and fried!",
"Friendly staff and service is pretty fast. I tried the mixed chicken set and both the boiled and fried chicken were delicious! I definitely prefer the fried and the sweet sauce paired great with it. I would also recommend their Thai tea! Overall, I love the minimalistic menu concept and the interior design is bright and fun."

"Tried them out for their grand opening today and overall I was pleased with the food. The only constructive criticism I could offer would be to peel the shrimp on the crab pizza. The crab balls were really good, and the crabs were fresh. I don't know if the pound cake is always on the menu, but they had the best pound cake that I've had in a long while. It reminded me of that throwback after church service pound cake! So delicious. The owners were very friendly, polite and professional, and seemed very grateful for everyone's business.",
"Delicious, FRESH, innovative. The menu is well thought out and executed. The crab nachos were definitely a highlight. The crab cake dinner is fantastic. Well seasoned and large portions. Definitely plenty to share. Everything is made in house!! Wash it all down with homemade lemonade or tea! \n\nAmbience is inviting and comfortable. With seating both in and outside. The staff is extremely attentive and friendly. This is definitely much needed in the Madison area, and worth the drive if you don't live close. I highly recommend!",
"I was excited about this spot so i went Friday evening. I was gassed up by the previous (filtered) food pics i had seen..... I was so disappointed. I excused the technical difficulties, but i waited a very long time for my order. The price per portion was ridiculous!!!! I purchased the seafood pizzas (skimpy), ble crab sandwhich (the crab was the size of a quarter) , catfish dinner had 1 half a piece of catfish in it, and i can go on on and on. Just not a good experience",
"This place was amazing!!!! They boil the crabs and shrimp right outside. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The outside seating was great for the time we're in now. It's owned by a family from Maryland and they know what they are doing! We'll definitely be back!",
"Hidden gem! This place has the friendliest staff and best service. We stopped here for lunch and ended up trying as many different meals as possible. One of the owners came up to us and made sure we were taken care of and was just the friendliest guy ever. \nThe food is amazing. One of our party doesn't even really like seafood but he was ranting and raving about the crab dip and salmon philly. Really hope the owners decide to open up another location in Mt Juliet!",
"As a Madison resident (& crab-eterian), I was elated to hear that a new CRAB restaurant had opened in my 'hood! I got to-go food for 7 of us & everyone was delighted & gave all thumbs up. I personally got the crab dip, the crab potato skins, & the crab balls. I'll be ordering the balls weekly (I think they're a smaller version of the crab cake)! They are kinda hush puppy-like & come w/ a delicious dipping sauce. The dip was delish, too, & it seemed like the dip was also the filling for the taters, & I am all good w/ that.",
"Oh man we were so disappointed. As transplants from Maryland we were thrilled to find this place. And even more thrilled to keep our crab feast tradition alive on July 4th. \n\nWe set expectations pretty low and forgiving as we know nothing is \"exactly like home.\" But when we had to throw out the majority of our food, we were so disappointed. \n\nWe got the feast that included a dozen crabs, a dozen shrimp, corn on the cob and salad. The shrimp were inedible: no one devained them and the shells were so hard to peel, there wasn't much shrimp left to eat. When we were able to try a shrimp, it was mealy and mushy. The shrimp basically disintegrated in our hands. We had to throw all of it out.\n\nThe dozen crabs were decently seasoned and a great size. We would have been happy with just crabs, except when we picked them, all the meat was mushy, a result of over cooking. At one point I just started squeezing the meat out of the shell rather than cracking and picking apart the separate sections. My husband and I wondered aloud if these crabs were boiled instead of steamed. All 12 of them were entirely mushy.\n\nOnly one crab had to be thrown out entirely, due to a VERY strange smell--one I'd never experienced before in my 30+ years of eating crabs. Throwing out a few crabs when you have a bushel is expected, but one in a dozen is a little suspect. \n\nOverall, we tried and will be looking elsewhere for our crabs for Labor Day. It's disappointing bc Blue Crabs boasts a Maryland experience, but doesn't deliver on properly cooking their food.",
"This place was hands down the best live crab around!! And the crab dip was over the top!! Great friendly service!! I can't say enough about how delicious everything was!! Two thumbs up , we can't wait to come back!! Great family service here!! Customers forever!!",
"So excited for this Black owned spot in Nashville! Bryan, the owner immediately greeted me upon entry and told me a bit about his story and how excited and blessed he is on his new six week old business! \n\nYou know when you're in a good spot when it feels like family. I was even informed on what I MUST try upon my next return ( and yes, I'll be here frequently). \n\nDefinitely run, do not pass go, bring your $$ to support, experience and indulge at the Blue Crab Shack \"The Ville\"",
"This was my first time visiting this establishment.\nI had a great time. Not only was the food amazing but the staff was just as great. I am proud to support the black owned business and am looking forward to their growth and expansion. I had the seafood pizza and the Chesapeake Fries. They were delicious. I had the Arnold Palmer for drink and it was perfect and not too sweet. I'll be back on Friday for the Gumbo!!!"

"Just opened here in sparks very good I had pastor burrito and the .99 crispy chicken tacos my wife had the grilled shrimp taco the verde salsa is very good and hot",
"Protein portions are VERY generous, prices are reasonable which is a good thing since I live near by and will be here often.",
"Went and picked up lunch from here today and Holy smokes is the food yummy!!! Their portions are massive which is great for leftovers. We had the steak fries which were fantastic and a steak taco which was super yummy and the carnitas burrito is top notch one of the best I have ever had. We are so excited about this new restaurant and will be back for more.",
"Great food! The 24 hour drive thru is also convenient. I purchased the bacon and steak breakfast burritos. Both were great! The value of under $8 each worked for me as well. I'll definitely be back.",
"LOVE LoVE love the Carson location so I was so excited to see this one open! Unfortunately they still seem to have a learning curve, I always order the el pastor or carne fries with pico,meat and guacamole only...\nThis location has now messed them up 2x a little frustrating this time they forgot my 2.25 soda as well. So $15 something for fries and a tip is a little outrageous for a screw up. I hope they improve because they are so tasty so that's the 3 stars",
"This is our first time going there and first impressions are lasting impressions. We ordered two Breakfast burritos w/Bacon. They are not only massive but delicious! You don't need to add salsa as Pico de Gallo was also in the burrito. We will definitely go there again.",
"I was super excited this location opened right down the street in Sparks. Plus, it's open 24 hours & late night options are limited on this side of town. I tried to visit on opening night, but the line was long & my stomach was empty, so I went elsewhere. Tonight, I finally got to try Rivas @11:30pm, after ending a busy restaurant shift. I ordered the steak fries & my boyfriend ordered the carne asada plate w/ corn tortillas. It cost $24 & some change, which seemed somewhat pricey considering we didn't even get drinks. But, we hoped the carne asade was worth it & also a good indicator of the quality of the food. We got our heavy bags, went home & were extremely disappointed once we opened the containers. \nI will lead with the postive: the portions are HUGE...I guess that's the only positive, honestly. I had very few bites of my steak fries. Immediately, the flavor of the meat bothered me. It tasted like it had been cooked on the same dirty griddle from the old philly cheesesteak restaurant that used to be in the same location. It smelled and tasted of old grease, which is really odd because they have completely transformed the building & it should be like new. The guacamole was obviously pre-packaged; it had the bright color and flavor of store bought guac, which was a little disappointing. I was hoping there would be fresh avocados at a Mexican restaurant, but maybe I expect too much. I would have gladly paid as much for 2 pounds less of the steak fries & real guacamole instead. Also, there really wasn't much to the actual fries. Yeah, there was like 10 pounds (ok maybe 3) but it was fries, gross meat, cheese & gross guac. \nOn to my BF's food....as you can see in the pic, it is not the carne asada plate that he ordered, but actually what looks to be steak fajitas. He didn't try his. He doesn't eat bell peppers & I think the disappointment of the incorrect order ruined his appetite. I tried it and couldn't get past the flavor of this same gross meat. Didn't try the rice or beans. Didn't care at that point. \nI feel like my 3 stars rating is generous because I will most likely never go back. I wish they gave people reasonable portions, with fresher ingredients and took the time to make sure everything they handed us was correct & something they would actually want to eat themselves. There was so much wrong with such simple food. I will stick to the taco trucks.",
"Went last night . They were busy both inside and at drive thru. Ordered steak fries (no sour cream no guac on the fries we wanted containers ON THE SIDE), chicken nachos, 1 fish taco and 2 steak tacos (no guac).\nA bit pricey. The tacos are $3.50 each.\nThe steak fries -got them home and they had sour cream on them. Thumbs down. No container of guac either.\nThe fish taco was the worst I have ever had. A fish stick sized piece of fish that was dark and burned. Inedible. At first with all the pico and ranch(?) On the taco I couldn't even SEE the fish.\nThe person that deep fried it and actually made the taco thought this was acceptable to serve. Very disappointed 100%.\nChicken nachos were alright but all toppings on top so a million \"naked\" chips underneath. Boo.\nSteak tacos were fine. No seasoning on the steak though.\nOverall between the prices and not getting the order right even though we went over it and the lady typing the info into the computer for the cook we are not excited to go back.",
"Awesome food! And the drive thru is open 24 hours. I ordered the carne asada fries and they were so delicious and tasty with a big portion. I will definitely come back",
"Yoo, this asada burrito is fire. Definitely getting the fries next time. Try the red salsa too it's bomb. This is definitely going to be my new spot. Kicks Roberto's a**! Plus it's also 24 hours!!"

"I've had almost all of their food and it's all amazing. It's a little taco stand outside of shells gas station . It's delicious .",
"I've had almost all of their food and it's all amazing. It's a little taco stand outside of shells gas station . \n\nReview update : since adding this business to yelp they have increased prices and the woman of the stand is rude two times now . If you go when it's her husband or son they are very kind and customer service oriented . Stay away when she's there . I'll definitely call before or if I ever return .\n\nThird update : lowered the rating because the girl that works there decided to harass me about pricing when it is about her clear rude unprofessional demeanor. Beware of commenting she's nuts . And not even the owner of the stand . Bizarre",
"Great, tasty and homemade comfort food!\nSmall little place with a great heart!\nThe people who works here are real sweet and friendly. They treated me as a family! \nLove it! \nThey got me!",
"Ja!!\nI just ate the second half of my husband \"meal\"\n(He got the azul burrito) 3 days ago and still so good!\nYou have to be honest about the food and the people that works on this kind of business and no gives reviews upon feelings!\nAnd this small place have a lot of potential!\nGive them an opportunity you won't regret it!",
"Best Tacos around here! I travel to Mexico City almost every month and this place is as good as the tacos there. Quick, friendly service and excellent prices. MX Tacos al Pastor are my favorite item on their menu.",
"This is probably my favorite place to come for Mexican food. The customer service was on point. The food was excellent in appearance and taste. Would definitely recommend this place",
"This is the best Mexican food I have ever had in my life if I was on death row and could choose my final meal I would order everything on this taco truck twice til I can't physically eat anymore. If I could give more stars I would.",
"Food is always great. The owner is is very kind and takes his business seriously. My favorite is the fish taco I could eat it everyday . But everything here is very good !",
"Authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine all in the palm of your hand. Best in the area and will soon be one of the most popular taco trucks in town.",
"Great, tasty and homemade comfort food!\nSmall little place with a great heart!\n\nThe people who works here are real sweet and friendly. They treated me as a family! \nLove it! \nThey got me!"

"Tried their soft opening menu. Wings are off the charts good. Tacos amazing. Try the crafted lemonades.",
"We just went to Set NoLibs today as part of their soft opening and got a few apps! Johnny and the staff were awesome and incredibly friendly. The food was great and we can't wait to come back to try more off their official menu! We got to tour the bar and it definitely has an awesome vibe. Very excited to add it to our restaurant collection.",
"Amazing Tacos. The Bulgogi cheesesteak taco and sliders are fantastic!! Good shrimp. Service is on point. Very happy we came and will definitely be back soon.",
"Love this place! Amazing food drinks and staff! Never write reviews but SET No libs deserves it",
"Amazing tacos and appetizers to share. I ordered takeout from here twice during Covid and the service was exceptional and the food was great. The tempura shrimp tacos were my favorite and my boyfriend loves the cheesesteak tacos. Looks like it would be a really nice bar with small plates. Totally recommend!!",
"Set is awesome. Great owners, great food, great service. Even during Covid we had a safe and sanitary experience and enjoyed every bit of it. Will be back for more!",
"This place has fish and shrimp tacos that will leave you wanting more tacos. The frozen margs are the best you'll find this summer! If you're looking for a frose, Set's is perfect - not too sweet and the right amount of tart. The outside seating to accommodate COVID regulations is charming with enough space to fit your group while still social distancing. The service is phenomenal - the staff is friendly, helpful, and make the dining experience a 10/10. You're gonna wanna hit up this joint.",
"I can't say enough about how delicious this meal was!\n\nOutdoor dining:\nThe restaurant is in the heart of Northern Liberties so it's perfect for people watching without feeling like you're in the mix and with Covid that's ideal! They set it up nicely with twinkle lights, and picnic tables so it's a casual chic vibe. All of the food was served on disposable cutlery and containers with the exception of our cocktails.\n\nCocktails:\nThey have a thorough drink menu with 16 and 32 oz options. The drinks are delicious and appropriately strong; however, If you want to add a \"shooter\" you can for just an addition $4. There are mixed drinks and frozen drinks and the menu clearly lays everything out for you. The drinks were so fun! They were served in a plastic red travel container with a bindy straw- it made me feel like I was on a vacation which was definitely needed! got the frozen piña colada which was so deliciously refreshing. \n\nFood:\nSo I immediately went to the taco section! Being a pescatarian I had two options, the fish or shrimp tacos. The great thing about the menu is you can mix your selections so you can try any three combinations for $14. I did two shrimp and one fish. The fish was good but the shrimp...incredible!! The flavor, the light crispiness, the size. The portions were fantastic because it wasn't too much food but it wasn't small by any means. I tried the classic tater tots and they were exactly what you would expect for tater tots- nothing necasarily stood out about them. For meat eaters- I don't eat meat, but my boyfriend tried the Cheese steak buns and I didn't even think he chewed he said they were mouth watering good! \n\nService: \nWas amazing. Our server was super attentive and patient walking us through the menu.\n\nOverall I loved it and would definitely recommend for a chill night where you want to eat well and have a fun time! \n\nEnjoy!!",
"Absolutely LOVE this spot! Can't believe how delicious the food and drinks were. And this is just their soft opening! So excited to see what's on the full menu. Our waitress was so sweet. We were also greeted by the manager or owner we believe and got free shots on the house. Such a great atmosphere. Cute paintings of all things Philly inside. Very nice bar. Cutest outdoor eating. Now my favorite taco spot. HIGHLY RECOMMEND",
"I love the fact that restaurants are still opening and thriving in this dreary time. We were looking forward to trying this place for weeks and finally got ready to try it on a Friday but we were hit by a thunderstorm. We were determined to Atleast get take take out so got to the place and the rain had almost stopped. They were nice enough to partially dry up a table and we decided to get a couple of drinks and an app and get the rest to go! We tried the jalapeño cheesesteak spring rolls, a Red Bull froze and a whisky drink. Absolutely delicious! \nTo go order- bulgogi cheesesteak sliders, wings and shrimp tempura tacos. \nIt was about time we got some fresh take on comfort food! Love love love this place. The indoors looked quite Instagram worthy so I can't wait to go back."

"We are sushi lovers in the city and we're thrilled to see a new spot open up in our neighborhood. Their food looked great on the menu and we went all out- they did not disappoint! Food was beautifully presented, tasted fresh and delicious and was timely. They add creative twists that elevate standard roles. Sushi donut AND burrito? Yum!! Per request of my husband, who LOVES the ramen, we will be ordering from there tonight as well.",
"We stopped in yesterday to try out Pokeburri.. all i can say is WOW. Absolutely phenomenal! We tried a bunch of different things. We had the angry zuko ramen bowl, shrimp tempura crunch bowl, fried pork gyoza dumplings, the crabmeat donut and spicy tuna donut. Everything was outstanding. My favorite was the two donuts. The spicy tuna was incredible. Everything had so much flavor. We cant wait to go back and try more things off of the menu!",
"What a Fantastic stop this was. Me and my Girlfriend stopped in to check out the Newest Poke, Ramen spot in Center City. We were thoroughly impressed with everything. The Raman was tasty as Hell and so fulfilling. We also had a couple of Sushi donuts, both were Excellent. The staff was professional and courteous and very helpful with exploring the menu. My favorite was the Tokyo Fries which were on Special. \n The restaurant and dining area were very clean. The kitchen looked very well kept also. The decor was very nice with some painted murals that were really cool. \nThis was a very comfortable spot and we cant wait to go back.",
"Wow - philly finally gets a quality poke place! Got the tuna bowl and added salmon. It was fresh and delish. I am a snob about sushi - only like to get places where I know it's super fresh. Excited to see a new place here!",
"Poke burri is not following social distancing guidelines or the 25-50% capacity limits. Customers were sitting way less than six feet from other tables. Every table at the restaurant was full plus all of the seats at the bar overlooking the food prep area, in addition to a number of people waiting by the entrance. If it weren't for the masks on the employees faces, you wouldn't even. know there was a pandemic. I did not feel safe eating here.",
"Came here tonight and ordered the sushi donut, the Tokyo fries, the Angry Zuko ramen, as well as the sushi pizza and sushi corn dog. Everything was amazing and the service was sweet. The dragon fruit lemonade was so delicious we had to get two more, and the Thai iced tea was also yummy. Overall everything was pleasant and clean.",
"Really was hoping for some amazing food from here since the photos looked really awesome but unfortunately Poke Burri fails a bit short. We ordered the angry zuko ramen plus a demogorgon burrito. I know it's their grand opening so def wanted to try out the Poke but since there's ramen why not. Unfortunately that ramen was not great, it was very oily, broth smelled like crab/fish, the corn was old, really unfortunately considering how much better the old Cheu's spot was in comparison. The noodles were not bad but flavor wise not great wouldn't recommend coming back for ramen. I think they need to just cut it out and dedicate the whole section to burritos/drinks. The wait time was also incredibly long even when they're busy since all the Poke is in one small section with another section ramen but like all the people are ordering Poke. Speaking of it burrito, it wasn't anything to rave about. It tasted like a giant sushi roll, but comparing sushi burritos if you ever tried High Street Kitchen that place had some incredible burritos. This one the nori roll got soggy, there's too much lettuce all the colors ended up tasting like a big Japanese salad. I'll give them a 3 star for effort and bringing Poke Burri to Philly but hopefully they work on improving their burrito quality, service and improve or get rid of the ramen.",
"Quality Sushi! Everything was so fresh, service was very nice but it's more of a take out place, very small for sit down.\nHighly recommend the Tuna Nachos!",
"Ordered delivery through Ubereats. Everything was neatly packed. The donut was pretty cool but my favorites were the nachos and the bowl!",
"Just had dinner here w/ my brother and sister and enjoyed the most delish Poke bowls and super bomb brussell sprouts.... definitely a must try and come back spot. Hontōni arigatō ! (thanks so much)"

"Ordered the make your own poke bowl and noodle soup. Can definitely say the seafood is fresh and portions are reasonable for the poke bowl although the taste itself was slightly bland personally. Also, I'm glad that there's another place in IV that serves good noodles soups now :)",
"So happy to have a good poke spot. They have build your own bowls, ramen, and fun drinks. The sauces are really unique and they let you sample them if you want to. It's a really enjoyable spot worth checking out!",
"Delicious! Fish quality blows poke ceviche out of the water. So excited to finally have a delicious poke place in IV. The amount of protein that you get for the price is very impressive. The fish is in nice big chunks, and the sauces are all super fun and unique. I enjoyed the 'cilantro miso' sauce quite a bit. There are a myriad of toppings to choose from, and there are also some noodle dishes that I am eager to come back and try. My friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant, and the owner offered us some delicious off-menu tuna nigiri that her husband had made in the back. WOW! It was so delicious. That's the kind of service that I love. Definitely making this my weekly poke place.",
"Me and my friend were wandering around town and ended up coming in here.. SO HAPPY!!! im writing this review while im eating this amazing customized poke bowl because you get a free drink if you check in on yelp June and Bella are so nice and very welcoming, very clean and positive space to eat good food and drink yummy drinks with nice people, will be coming back atleast once a week",
"The people here are so sweet and they're so enthusiastic about helping you out and letting you try anything to make sure you like it. I'm excited to try this poke bowl!!",
"Great service for my first time there and the lychee rose drink is too good!! As well as many and fresh selections :)",
"Really awesome customer service! Im glad that theres a new poke shop here. Got to try the sauces before i got to choose them!",
"The environment is nice but quite narrow. There's not enough people to serve and the soup tastes terrible. The price is too high for the overall quality.",
"Poke Theory has successfully filled in the void that PokiRito left when it closed down. The portions are generous and the service is outstanding. I will definitely be stopping by again and highly recommend this spot to anyone!",
"poke is my favorite food and i was so bummed that there weren't any GOOD poke places in iv:( but now i can happily say that i will be spending all my money at this place. phenomenal."

"We loved it and will be back soon! Great food, atmosphere and service. We usually like to give restaurants a week or two to settle in before trying them out, but even with a packed house and Covid restrictions it all seemed to be running seamlessly. Large menu, everything we had was delicious. The jalapeño basil margarita, the strawberry mandarin rosé sangria and the mojito were impressive as well. The Mexican fried ice cream was a great finish. We can't wait to go back and try more things.",
"Went there with friends Saturday night. The food was incredible. We ordered the empanadas and a flight of 4 salsas to start. All were incredible. We ordered the enchiladas which was a huge delicious dish. My friend ordered the lobster tacos and they were awesome. I ordered The best strawberry marguerita ever!!! Will go back very soon. For the first weekend opening they handled the crowds well. Great edition to palm harbor.",
"My husband had actually found this new restaurant on Facebook. He was away one evening so I decided to give it a try. Truly a good experience!!\n\nNot sure when it opened but the staff were friendly and efficient. Management stopped by my table to make sure I was having a good experience. I ordered the DIY burrito where you can add toppings you want to the base burrito. Really tasty! The chips and salsa were also good. They delivered two types to my table - mild and hot. Mild was perfect. Spicy was good but too spicy for my taste. The food was really good. This will definitely be a place to return to. Bill came to a little over $18 for the burrito and a soda.",
"We're from Texas and this was the most amazing Restaurant and Cantina! Everything was fantastic! Margaritas were very tasty! Food was Outstanding! Steak Fajitas melt in your mouth delicious! Appetizers, we had Empanadas crispy on outside delectable on inside! Fresh chips and salsa are fresh and warmMy hubs is in love with Juju sauce! Brad our server was knowledgeable and charming! We can't wait to come back and try something new!",
"Great service awesome bartender love the atmosphere. A great addition to Palm Harbor! Margaritas were perfect. Empanadas were on points.",
"I remember this place was being built still a few months ago and found out it has just opened so I was exported to try it. I love Mexican food and there are not too many good Mexican places around. I love chips and salsa and their salsa was delish! There were two kinds given and both were very good. I feel like salsa can make or break a Mexican place. I got the shredded beef tacos and they were stuffed with meat and filling. The flavor was very good and the tortillas were nice and soft and tasted homemade. Our server, Casey, was so great! She had a wonderful personality and you could tell she really enjoyed working at the restaurant. I will def be back.",
"Sat outside. The food was great. The service was even better. The drinks were large and good. Best food in Palm Harbor.",
"We sat at the bar, had drinks. Beer and Margarita, standard margarita, White sangria was delicious! They served chips salsa, was good. I had the Canteen-a bowl with beef, was delicious, Monterey beef tacos , was delicious. Ambiance was nice. Seating outside is plenty but too hot. Place is very nice. Servers wore mask but I noticed they don't wipe down the plastic menus between patroons.",
"Went for dinner with a friend and I side had a wait but we were able to sit outside in the shade which was great! Had chips guacamole and salsa which was great and fresh! Had the chorizo tacos and those were awesome! Had the churros to end the meal and it was so yummy! Service was great for being a new restaurant!!!!. Will be back for sure!",
"Brand new location in Palm Harbor that was much needed!!! I was just talking about how we need more places like this! \n\nIs it good? I have been there twice already and they haven't even been open for 2 weeks yet. So I would say YES! \n\nMy first visit was with girlfriends so we have a ton of different items, tortilla and pollo soup (soooo good), quesadilla, one of the rice bowls, two variations of the tacos, plantains, margaritas that are huge, sangria and to end the meal, a flight of Tequila! Yes, I said flight! The 2nd visit to bring someone different to try them out, guacamole, the \"Norm\" burrito and beef tacos with Mexican street corn. Each time I have had to bring home half of my food because the sizes are very generous! \n\nFrom previous posts, there have been many mentions of how well they were running for being brand new...I'll let you in on a little secret. This isn't their first restaurant so years of experience and they are BUSY. Saturday they opened at 3pm and we thought we would wait a few minutes before going, I got there at 3:15pm and there was already a 45 minute wait unless we wanted to sit outside (it was too hot) so we choose to sit at the bar. But the crew has it down and I noticed the quick service going on at the other tables as well. Everyone has been super friendly. \n\nThe menu has a lot of items, so there are still tons of things I want to try and will be back!"

"Worst management in a long time. Asked for chilli flake or chilli oil 4 times from 3 different people no one brought it to our table. The free spring roll was not served until was asked to. On top of that they don't know the difference between Yellow curry and Mussaman curry. To top it all off, my friend got severely sick from their mix veg Red curry.",
"The food was fantastic! Ordered papaya salad lao style, and the famous Lisa's drunken noodles. Ambience is excellent, and service is a 2 thumbs up Highly recommended",
"Delicious Lao/Thai dishes. Def. recommend their papaya salad along with the Lao sausage (comes with sticky rice and jeow). Everything was delicious! Staff was friendly & attentive. Can't wait to come back and try more food!",
"This new place is located in a strip shopping center. Clean, comfortable dining. Wait staff is very friendly & attentive. Nice selections on menu. Food is all prepared fresh to order. We had Thai Sampler, seafood soup & pineapple fried rice w/chicken. We settled it down with a coconut & mango sorbets...perfect!",
"Used to come to this location a lot when it was Tasti Thai. When I heard it was now a new restaurant with a new owner I was scared I wouldn't enjoy it as much. I'm happy to say that we finally visited and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend had the chicken pad Thai and I had the beef pad see ew. The noodles weren't dry and they didn't skimp out on the beef and vegetables which is always nice. I would say it was better than what I was used to at Tasti Thai. Staff was attentive as well. We'll be back again soon!",
"Really would recommend this restaurant! Such amazing food with an even better serving experience! We had shrimps in a blanket and the crispy egg rolls to start and both were awesome! So crispy and crunchy!! We tried the Famous Drunken noodles which were absolutely delicious! The spicy Thai shrimp fried rice had the perfect amount of spice! We also tried the Three flavor chicken which was so so so tasty and full of flavor! Honestly probably some of the best chicken i've ever had! The desserts were also such a great way to end the meal. Loved the Mango sticky rice and the Exotic Bomba (sooo cool and very cute)!! oh and omg couldn't forget the Thai tea! So creamy with the perfect amount of sweetness. Our server was so lovely and very attentive which made the entire experience all the better. Will be back again and again!!",
"I had this shit special seafood drunken noodles! Excellent! Drunken noodles on my go to with Thai restaurants and this restaurant has one of the best I've tried.",
"MUST TRY!\n\nDon't let the location fool you, this restaurant is amazing. My boyfriend and I went this evening and it left us wanting more. We started off with chicken satay. The peanut sauce was the best I've ever had. The chicken was cooked perfectly ! For my entree, I chose the pad Thai with beef. The pad Thai was delicious and had a nice large portion. My boyfriend got the Rama Chicken , which is basically a chicken breast ( I think) with the peanut sauce and broccoli with a side of rice. Finally for dessert , we got the pineapple sorbet which was tastefully served inside a pineapple! I didn't get a picture since we were too excited to eat it. The owner, Jerry, was also our server. His mother was the amazing chef back in the kitchen. Jerry was super nice and you can tell he takes pride in his restaurant. If you're looking for some quality Thai food, this is your spot!",
"It's a new place and it's pretty nice. \nService is very good . They took care of all the mess the kids were making . The place was very clean and well decorated ambience.\n\nThe food tasted good . We had ordered pad Thai and yellow curry. \n\nThe Tom yum soup was nice and hot for the cold weather outside . \n\nSpring rolls were crisp and perfect",
"My first experience here was great, I dined with a few few friends and we shared appetizers, my personal favorite is the shrimp in a blanket! the chili sauce it comes with makes for the perfect pair. I also tried the drunken noodles, savory and slightly sweet with a kick, the noodles melt in your mouth. It's not your average run of the mill noodles it exceeded my expectations, a surprising dish in the best way. The service was also good and fast, definitely worthy of every star. This place is worth a try for anyone whether you like Thai food or are looking to try something new!"

"The food and service was excellent. The food was very flavorful and came out hot and quick. The chef, Tyressa, even came out to make sure everything was to our liking. The restaurant itself was clean and offered both indoor and outdoor seating. I will be going back soon.",
"The food was amazing! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. I'm so glad to have found this place and can't wait to go back. Try the crawfish beignets!",
"Not sure yet, but this rating was based off of my first experience. I'm a big fan of what the former Namese owners have done in the past, so I'm open to revisit. I placed an order for pickup since it was the only place still open on Sunday offering a shrimp poboy-and I needed one BAD. Ordering was easy, though payment wasn't taken over the phone, nor was a time quoted for pickup. I headed over right away so I could pick up the food while it was still hot. I paid and luckily my order had just come up, in fact I paid two minutes before I got the text saying my order was ready. \n\nThe poboy was about an 8\" pistolet, but the bread was a little spongey and dense. The shrimp kept falling out as I tried to eat. It was unevenly dressed with all the lettuce and Mayo back at the crease. The bang bang sauce that I thought would be smeared inside was actually poured in a corner of the to go box, so my poboy was covered with sauce on the outside? It really seemed odd as they included a whole separate container of bang bang sauce that was still tightly sealed. \n\nAdditionally, a side of fries were nearly $3 so overall the price for the size of the poboy and fries was on the higher end of things comparatively. Three stars for now, but not a spot I'd continue to go to for shrimp poboys.",
"Great foods and nice ambiance! Excellent service too! Highly recommended when visiting New Orleans!",
"Excellent food, excellent service. No complaints whatsoever. Best crawfish I have had in a long, long time.",
"I am only giving it a two stars because the food was pretty good. other than that, the service a.k.a the server Emily R was so rude. From the beginning we noticed how she was acting really shady. it did not start until my friends went to go to the bathroom but forgot their mask and the waiter nicely told them to wear their mask and she randomly walks up and said, \"they're not even from here!\" her comment was unnecessary because my friends did not argue, they just simply said sorry and grabbed their mask. after they came back, Emily followed them to our table and said, \"yeah I don't know where you guys are from, but here, we wear our mask\" in a very rude tone. We also live in a strict mask mandate state as well, but sometimes people just forget their mask. also, they instantly went to grab it without an argument. if you do come to this restaurant, ask for any other server except for Emily R.",
"So, I've been wanting to try this spot for the last few weeks. I finally got to try it tonight with a friend of mine. We arrived around 7pm and it was PACKED. We ended up sitting at the bar because the hostess told us it was full service. After looking at the menu for a quite some time I decided I wanted to try the crawfish. The bartender tells me \"oh, we are out of crawfish. Unless you get a bucket.\" That makes zero sense to me because either you have crawfish or you don't. I feel like she was trying to force me to get a more expensive option. So, I decided to just get a \"bucket\" because that was the only reason I came here was to try the seafood. According to the menu, the bucket contained 1 lb of crawfish, 1 lb of shrimp, 2 potatoes, corn, and andouille sausage. When the bucket was brought to me there was no corn. I asked the bartender if the corn was on the way and she said \"oh, we are out corn. So they gave you extra potatoes.\" WHAT?!?! Why wasn't I told before I ordered the bucket that they were out of corn and why was a substitution picked for me without giving me any options? This irked me because I didn't even want the bucket to begin with. (Also, it comes on a platter and not even a bucket.) As we are sitting at the bar another server comes out and starts screaming that they were out of crawfish, corn, mushrooms, and only had a few orders of crabs left. Granted there is a restaurant FULL of people and several people on the waitlist on a Saturday night. Ok.......\n\nI ordered the Cajun flavor, extra hot. It didn't even make my nose run. Disappointing. They weren't bad but I just don't see the hype especially for $9/lb. I also ordered a dozen chargrilled oysters. They had potential but there was literally no butter so each oyster was stuck to the shell. I had to scrape them out with the fork. \n\nOrdered 2 frozen cocktails and didn't even feel a buzz. Sigh. I can check this place off my list of places to try now but I highly doubt I'll ever go back! We finished our food and got a to go box packed up and waited for the check. 20 minutes passed and the bartender just kept walking past us without asking if we were ready for the check. I truly don't recommend.",
"Great experience on a busy Sunday! Our server was friendly and explained everything to us. We had the Boil House crawfish High heat and it was perfect! Spicy and delicious. The Cajun wings and Gumbo was also really good! Will definitely go back!",
"Food was terrible, disgusting and overpriced. \n\nWaitress and manager staff was extremely rude. \n\nI see why their not busy. \n\nSpend your money elsewhere.",
"Best boiled seafood in the city hands down! I've been going to the other location on Magazine for a while and I'm so happy they opened a new spot closer to home. Everyone is so friendly and inviting, they really make you feel at home!"

"We just happened to go to this brand new Hattie B's on opening day, and we were incredibly impressed! \nWe were greeted by a host outside who was super friendly, and even told us a little history of the area.\nThe guys who took our orders were also extremely friendly and accommodating, and had a lot of helpful recommendations. \nThe food was absolutely delicious - we thoroughly enjoyed the hot chicken tenders (and they are, indeed, HOT!), the pimento mac and cheese, the collard greens, the coleslaw, the dirty bird loaded fries, and the banana pudding. \nYou'd never know it was opening day unless someone told you. Everything ran so smoothly and it was a great experience overall.",
"I kept hearing about this place as being one of the best hot chicken places in Nashville so I had pretty high expectations. I'm from California so naturally I was going to compare it Howlin' Ray's (Nashville hot chicken place in LA), unfortunately it was not as good. Don't get me wrong it was still good ....just not great. \n\nWe got the chicken sandwich with a medium spice level. we also got a kid's chicken tenders at a hot level.... ooof hot is really hot! We really enjoyed the macaroni and cheese as it had some bell peppers in there and the banana pudding was yummy!",
"Coming from California in search of the best fried chicken and I found it here. \n\nQuality and flavoring is up there with the greatest.",
"This was amazing! I got the tenders and my boyfriend got the chicken sandwich!! Make sure you are prepared for the heat!! I think I got it a little to hot for me. But the servings are quite large and everyone working was very nice and helpful!",
"this is why, I wanted to visit nashville.. that famous hattie b's spicy chicken! I had the grilled mild chicken sandwich with creamy coleslaw and that peach cobbler.. it was well worth the wait... super friendly and nice staff... I love it!",
"The line was thirty minutes long to get in but we waited because he heard the food was worth it.\nWe were not disappointed.\nThe Nashville Chicken Sandwich would've been worth waiting an hour outside for.\nThe pimento Mac n cheese was something I haven't tried before but I actually liked it even more than the fries.\nThe crinkle fries were a tad overdone but I really liked the seasoning on them--so much that we came back the next day for the fries, again.\nThe prices are more reasonable that other places on the strip and the food is totally worth it.",
"Countless people have recommended this place and most argue that it's the best chicken you can get in Nashville. I ordered a chicken sandwich and their tenders after a long day of bar hopping. I couldn't have had a better meal. The chicken was great and was very spicy which was great! A lot of other places don't meet the heat I expected from the \"Nashville Hot\" I expected but Hattie B's definitely did. Friendly staff and a great location not far from Broadway.",
"First time visiting Hattie B's on a recommendation. Oh man! Loved the Hot Chicken sandwich and the fries here, the chicken is amazing!",
"Woot woot! Rolling in to Hattie Bs on Friday about 6pm hardly any wait, less than 10 min. The food is beyond. We all know that. Bacon grits yassss! I'm a wimp so mild was for me and it was perfect. My son got a little hotter and he was struggling.",
"When we cone to Nashville, we try a different hot chicken place every time. So far, this one wins. I got the small bone meal. A leg and a thigh. Moist and delicious. I got the hot, and it was perfect. Also got a bourbon lemonade slushee--also delicious."

"A very new place - just opened - but incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. For example, we were worried about veggies and pepperoni overlapping on our pizza (due to allergies in the family), and without being asked they made us two separate pizzas! It's New York style pizza and incredibly delicious with generous toppings and aromatic sauce. Seating inside and outside. Has a variety of pizza, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and wings. Oh, and growlers coming as soon as soon as liquor license is in hand! Highly recommended.",
"Consistently delicious, the staff is always friendly. Comfortable atmosphere. So happy to have this place close by!",
"The food is fantastic! Great Pizza and the cheese sticks are actually hand breaded provolone, finally some flavor! We highly recommend.",
"This is an awesome new pizzeria that is in the location that was formerly known as Bella Pizza, and before that it was Joel's Pizza. I have to say that my experience was even better than the ones that came before them. I say that because there's more to it than just pizza. I was lured in by the description of their garlic knot sliders. I also saw many wonderful pictures of Cuban sandwiches, wings, baked ziti family specials, and beautiful salads. \n\nI called in my order on the way back from my hair appointment. I asked for the garlic knot sliders with eggplant parmesan. I either saw it on a prior version of their menu, or I just mistakenly thought they made it with eggplant. I was kindly told that they make them with chicken parmesan, buffalo chicken, or pork. But, she said to hang on and she'll ask if they can make it with eggplant. I was thrilled when she said they could do it. I thought that was great. \n\nI also got the fries but definitely did not need them. I should have gotten a salad instead (which is a side option). It was way too much food. Their portions are very big. I could have easily split this up into 2 meals. Oh, and these sliders were wonderful! I'd never thought to use a garlic knot as a slider. It really does work well. I thought it would be messy, but it wasn't. Everything held together well. The garlic knots weren't too greasy. The eggplant was soft and cooked perfectly. To be honest, I was happy just to have a good eggplant parmesan sandwich. These sliders really hit the spot, and they were cheesy and had the right amount of marinara sauce. Really great! I'd go back just for the sliders. \n\nThey also announce these baked ziti family meal specials on Facebook every now & then for $29.99. It's a pan of baked ziti with a large spinach salad and garlic knots. It looks amazing. I want to get that one day soon. I also want to try to their pizza, and yes they deliver. I asked about delivery when I was picking up my order. I noticed everyone was wearing a mask. They also have dine-in service as well as tables outside. There's plenty of parking because it's in Plaza Bella. The website also says that they will have a craft beer growler station soon. It's not there yet, but I'm totally looking forward to that. I'm giving it 4 stars for now but only because I haven't tried the pizza yet (and I will). It's close to home, and the people are friendly. So, if you're looking for \"A NEW YORK STYLE PIZZERIA INFLUENCED BY LOCAL FLAVORS & A LOVE FOR BEER\" (this is straight off their website), then this is the place for you. I also love that they have Gasparilla in the name. Oh, and it looks like their Cuban sandwich has salami for those who care about that sort of thing. Hey, it's a local thing. :)",
"I love their boneless wings ! They make it in house and taste soooo yummy\nAwesome spot good vibes and really welcoming workers. \n\nHighly recommend and the food is delicious",
"We, party of 6, were looking for a place to finish for our epic biking weekend before heading home and found this place. The staff was super accommodating to us. They brought out some curly fries for us to try. They upgraded one of our pizzas to a large from a medium since they already had one made. We ordered thr garlic knots, mozzerella sticks, margarita pizza, shipwreck pizza, chicken bacon ranch, cheese pizza and a few other pizzas. We devoured them. Delicious local pizza! We definitely are noting to return here when we are in town again.",
"Very good! Great New York style pizza and I highly recommend the garlic knot sliders. Delicious.",
"Was really excited to try this place out but was not impressed at all. We had the garlic knots to start and they were so dry, it was like having thick slightly burnt toast with no butter. Then we had a Shipwreck Pizza and The bacon on it was still white! It was horrible and pretty sure I got a little food poisoning. The only thing that was good was the people. They were very kind and the service was great.",
"It's hard to find a decent tasting pizza here in Florida. I decided to try out this new pizza place and I'm happy I did. The pizza tasted great and I will definitely order again. They are always running specials so make sure you follow them on FB to get updates on their deals.",
"Wanted to try something new in the area, saw gasperillas pizza menu and thought it looked interesting. They have a breakfast pizza, a Cuban sandwich style pizza, and a baked ziti pizza, It's nice to have options outside of the standard ones. We went with the chicken parm style, brought it home and it fed 5 of us with plenty of leftovers. Good portions, really good food, and a very clean restaurant. Ultimately I think this is my family's new pizza spot. Happy to have them in Bloomingdale."

"Awesome new spot on printers alley. Food, awesome. Music, awesome. Drinks, whoa! This place actually slays and is easily one of the best establishments downtown. Can't wait to go back.",
"Awesome spot to grab appetizer, drinks and listen to some live music . No age specific so you can bring your family . We tasted the short rib grilled cheese and it was super good .staff is very friendly and helpful. Their recommendations were on point. Definitely going back!",
"This restaurant was EVERYTHING I wanted from a Nashville hole in the wall and more! We order two appetizers, two entrees, 3 different drinks, and a dessert and everything was to DIE for! John, the owner, was waiting tables when we when and served us since he had a wait staff member call out, and he was so nice and fun to talk to. The in house band Greenwood Rye is a fantastic country / bluegrass group that really gives the place its ambiance that makes it perfect for the Nashville experience. They even took a Polaroid if us to put on the wall upstairs which is always fun! If you're looking for great food and live music without all the tourists and crowds on Broadway, then Jane's Hideaway is the perfect place to go!! I already told my boyfriend I want to go back once a month to continue to support a local restaurant and local artists. PLEASE support a great local place, which supports local artists, if you can! It's totally worth it!",
"They get two stars for appearance only. $11 for\n10 oz Bloody Mary that was sub par at best - suppose to have got what they called Bloody Buddy (additional $5) with it but waiter forgot it. We didn't even stay to order food - won't return to Janes Hideaway",
"As soon as I walked into this place I was in love. The decor is adorable, the music was fantastic, and the people who work there are incredibly kind. It's clear that the owners care a lot about aesthetics because the food was not only delicious but literally beautiful... and I'm not the type of person that fills up my Instagram feed with food photos.",
"What a great spot! The service was incredible, the house band has so fun, and every bite of food was delicious. We tried the corn fritters, root veggie toast, and pork belly. All of it was fantastic. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to open during COVID, but they did it, and they're doing it so well! I really enjoyed my night and I can't wait to come back.",
"In town to replace a postponed BVI trip.\nI know Nashville versus the BVI.....\nStumbled on it from a number from a nearby bars recommendation,\nAmazing! We both had a burger and arugula salad. Love love, loved it!!\nThe local band, Theo and Brenna, were awesome! If you like bluegrass steeped in Ole time tradition, check them out.\nBack on Sunday for drinks and dessert \nIf we were local would be here once a week!\nThank yall!",
"Loved this quiet but roomy place. Food and drinks are yummy. Talent was refreshing and quite impressive.",
"We had a great experience, short walk off Broadway to a quieter scene. Perfect fresh food, great entertainment and service. Check out their rooftop bar on the 6th floor. Excellent!!!!",
"What an amazing surprise! Head a few blocks off Broadway for a truly fresh menu with something for everyone from the vegetarian to the burger lover. The Old Fashion cocktail was perfection and the Brussel sprouts were the best I've ever had anywhere! The live music was spot on too. Great way for this California group to spend a Friday night."

"Yelp seems to think this place is closed for some reason, but that would be news to the guy I bought my tortillas from there. Fear not, corn connoisseurs, this place does indeed exist. Their business is quite literally corn tortillas, either fresh or in chip form, nothing else.\n\nI was simply asked how much I wanted by weight, which was priced at a nice round number making it easy to pay in cash. The freshness and texture are much better than what you'd get at a grocery store, and the tortilla chips I was allowed to sample were pretty delicious too. I'd find it easier to justify a trip if they had more on offer besides just tortillas, but if tortillas is what you want, this seems like a good place to get them.",
"Mawi Tortilleria is practically hiding in a small strip mall along West Esplanade Avenue in Metairie. But seriously, if you are even the most causal fan of a freshly made, steaming hot Tortilla, Mawi will turn you into a full blown fanatic. The smell of sweet corn masa kicks you right in the Olfactory glands when you step into the tiny shop. \n They told me they fire up the tortilla machine every day around 8am. If you have never seen a tortilla machine in action, it is a beautiful sight. The corn masa flour is mixed with filtered water and some salt and fed into the machine. Which in turn pumps out perfectly round pillows of heaven. They rest in a large blue cooler until they are sold, still streaming hot, by the pound. \n A pound will run you a whopping $2.50, and that yields a dozen fresh tortillas. The only problem? They may not make it home. These tortillas smelled so good that I ate three of them in my car on the interstate. They were so delicious plain, I can't wait to stuff them with tasty fillings. \n It's places like these that I find that remind me there are so many hidden food gems out there in New Orleans and the surrounding area to discover and enjoy.",
"As a native Texan, I am always a little disappointed with the local selection. And then I stumbled across this tortilleria on West Esplanade in Metairie. Yesterday I went home with a pound of fresh (still hot) corn tortillas and some tortilla chips. The gentleman behind the counter warned me that some people buy two bags because one doesn't make it home. The corn tortillas were perfect for the fish tacos I made for dinner last night and the chips don't need anything, but paired perfectly with my homemade pico de gallo. My only slight knock would be that they don't have flour tortillas, but I will most definitely be back.",
"Delicious corn tortillas made that day. Great selection of cheeses, some salsa and chips too.",
"Probably one of the best tortillas that I have ever tasted. Great people and they sell the tortillas by the pound. My grandmother owned a Tortilleria in San Benito Texas and it really compares.",
"Best corn tortillas this side of Texas. Also a big fan of their salsa, must have one every weekend. \nSome Saturdays, they set up a flat top grill in the parking lot and sell pupusas, cheese, bean, pork and such. Very good.",
"I dislike store bought tortillas as much as I hate mayo or aioli. There's a distinct flavor to them and they just taste dry and no love is put into them. It sounds weird but you can tell the difference between mass produced and home made tortillas.\n\nRecently had the chance to swing by and check out this shop first hand. It's definitely a neighborhood spot and gave me nostalgia of my childhood growing up in El Paso.\n\nThere's so many of these little shops back home where you go for specialty items. Almost a necessity to say back home as everyone has their preferred spots that solely sell meats, or tortillas/tostadas, baked goods, etc. The business focuses on a very specific menu and they just about perfect it.\n\nYou can purchase tortillas, tostadas, chicharrones (pork rinds), salsas, specialty cheeses for Latin Dishes like Oaxaca and Asadero, and a few other items.\n\nI haven't been on the weekend yet but I was told they sell pupusas!\n\nI love these tortillas so much I had a friend pick some up for me while they were on that side of town.\n\nI'm very excited to have found them and to know their products are feature at restaurants throughout the city is super exciting.",
"Awesome homemade goodness!! Hand made in front of you. The owner is super easy to get along with and loves to talk u thru the process. Tortillas, chips, homemade salsa!, homemade butter with sour cream!!, cracklings. Awesome spot to add to your shopping list. Enjoy!",
"Mawi Tortillas is hands down the best tortillas around! Why waste your time and money buying tortillas at the grocery when you can buy them hot and fresh right out of the oven? Mawi blends two types of Masa to create their delicious fluffy tortillas. Doing this keeps the tortilla from falling apart when it is eaten. When you are in the neighborhood you should stop by to say \"Hi\" to Will and his dad Carlos! You may be lucky enough to have the owners give you a tour of the kitchen and a have taste of their magical delicious tortilla! On Saturday's take advantage of their Papusa availability! If you follow the store on FaceBook or Instagram they will let you know when you can purchase a special treat, Will's FANTASTIC guacamole! YUM!\nI bet Emeril is missing Will right about now! BAM!",
"Oh my gawd! Why have I never been here before? Now I'm addicted. I think about it all day and when I'm laying in bed just thinking about what I should eat tomorrow. No lie. I did that last night. \nIt's like a little market that sells food and usually has a limited menu but the stuff on the menu is to die for! \nWe got their homemade chips which I now need in my life everyday. All other tortilla chips are garbage! \nWe got the ceviche!!!! WHAT is this! It's WONDERFUL! \nTheir salsa which is so fresh and lovely. \nAnd not to mention like 5 different pupusas! Including crawfish. I LOVED it along with my Latin husband! He thought everything was amazing. It's so close to our house. This will now have to be a regular place to get takeout from! Put it on your list."

"We had carry out today from PennePazze and it was fabulous! We had the Pinsa Pazza, lasagna, and cannoli. We could tell the ingredients were very fresh and high quality. Perfect burrata. And the cannoli..oh my goodness. Delicious does not even begin to cover it. Devine!! We can't wait to go back and try the rest.",
"Outstanding. That's really the only way to describe this place is just, outstanding. We got the pinsa pazza and it was like no pizza we have ever had. The crust was crunchy but chewy, and you could tell how high quality the ingredients were. The sauce and fresh mozzarella both had such an incredible flavor. The pesto was present but not overpowering, and the burrata was a great touch on top. This place is legit. We will be back many many times to try their other pizzas and dishes.",
"Pinsa style pizza may be my new favorite! We got the Pinsa Pazza and I can't wait to try the rest. Also got the Amatriciana and Campelle pazze pastas and loved that as well. Will definitely be back!",
"Great pizza and pasta - highly recommended!\n\nThey went above and beyond on our first visit, and we will definitely be back soon. Happy to have a great fast-casual Italian spot in the neighborhood.",
"COVID pickup review -- You KNOW the pizza is going to be delicious when the pizza joint is owned by true, authentic Italians. Supposedly, the pizza here is much more healthier than regular pizza: 85% less fat, less salt and sugar, and the list goes on. To be honest, I wouldn't have known that if i didn't read that online. (Plus pizza is pizza: 95% of the time, it's good anyway). \n\nWe went with the Pinsa Pazza pizza, which has your typical tomato sauce, along with mozz, pesto, and burrata cheese. The crust is the perfect thickness, the toppings didn't make it soggy at all, the cheese was melty goodness... bravissimo! Mi piace moltissimo!\n\nSo glad to see another authentic italian place in Nashville. Grazie, Pennepazze! A dopo presto!",
"A four-year journey to bring Nashville amazing Italian food only to launch in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown. But these guys are grind boys, and pumping out AMAZING dishes for pick-up despite the pandemic!\n\nJust picked up a couple pinzas and met the owner and chef, and lemme tell you, these guys are gonna be in Nashville for a lonnnnng time with the delicious quality they're serving up.\n\nI will be ordering from them as often as possible.\n\nThe taste? Let's just say it's the second best thing that's been in my mouth.",
"Great experience and DELICIOUS food. Owner is kind and generous and passionate about what he does, and you can tell. Food was made right in front of us and amazingly fast, fresh and flavorful. Pizza and pasta were both excellent. He even threw in cannoli - the pastry was hands down the best I've had! Can't wait to see (and taste) more from them in the future! Tough time to open a restaurant but WELL WORTH your business and support so give a try!",
"Went during the pandemic. Super friendly guys, and delicious pizza. This pizza is best fresh, does not travel long distances or reheat well. And the Nutella cannoli is amazing! Can't wait to try the rest of their pastas.",
"This place is delicious, so much care into the food! Gorgonzola gnocchi is out of this world amazing and I just finished it and want another bowl. We got two pizzas they are smaller so I'd suggest two for two ppl with a salad or a side and it's more than enough food for a big ole Friday dinner. Owners are lovely and their pizza is way better than five points pizza down the street!",
"Tonight I decided to try out Penne Pazze and was blown away! I ordered 2 pinsas and the lasagna. Hands down the best lasagna I've ever had in my life. The pinsas were incredible as well. Was so extremely flavorful and definitely felt \"lighter\" than pizza. Incredible!! We also got a cannoli for dessert filled with ricotta and Nutella...whoa. Definitely save room for dessert when you eat here!! When I came inside to pick up my order I met the the owner, Ronnie. He was so friendly, warm and welcoming...and really Italian! Once you taste this food you can tell it's authentically Italian. I can't wait to go back to dine in next time."

"Welcome Kokoro Ramen (Heart Ramen), the newest restaurant in the Hung Vuong supermarket plaza, next to Brother Seafood. \n\nWe did take out by calling based on their menu from their website. Everything was packed well and labeled clearly. \n\nThe ramen was very well prepared. Several juicy cuts of charsu and broth that warms the soul. The soft boiled egg hit the spot alongside the drops of oil in the black garlic ramen was perfect. \n\nThe buns were one of my favorites (so tender and juicy) but because they fry the buns they were very, very heavy. I would love them more with a lighter bun but either way, it was very tasty. \n\nPleased to see them taking Covid very seriously w hand sanitizer and even a thermometer at the entryway. Room inside for small groups with a beautiful, welcoming interior. \n\nLooking forward to trying more hot broths as winter rolls into our area. Welcome Kokoro Ramen!",
"Bao buns were so different than anywhere I've eaten them, if not in recent years...maybe ever (that I can remember?) Buns itself were well prepared. Buttery, crispy outside...delicious! The pork was good..little light on the portion and the cut...thin meager strips. Nice texture though; soft so good there! The ramen noodles were delicious; great choice of noodle and texture. The rest of the soup..was basic. Brand new spot so...I'll give them another try, maybe try some other things on the menu to glean more of an opinion on the place as a whole. :)",
"It's now my favorite season aka soup season, and Kokoro Ramen opened its doors just in time for my soup cravings to be satisfied. So glad that there's a growing selection of ramen spots in South Jersey, and that this once-\"ghost plaza\" is turning into a nice lively row of Asian establishments thanks to the opening of Hung Vuong Supermarket.\n\nI called for take-out and the food was ready in under 30 minutes. The roast pork buns were unlike any other pork bun I've had before - most have had soft white buns - but these buns are so good too! I loved the texture, which is slightly toasted and crispy on the outside, slightly caramelized/buttered?, and soft on the inside. I imagine that the chicken karaage would be amazing fresh, but as this was a takeout order, it wasn't as crispy when I went to eat it (expected). Very flavorful though, with a strong presence of ginger and served with tonkatsu sauce and a lemon slice. My main dish was the tonkotsu ramen, which was pretty solid. I really enjoyed the noodles which tasted pretty fresh. The slices of pork are on the thinner side but still have that nice buttery flavor; the amount they give compensates for it. I also had a bit of their original pork tonkatsu and its crispiness survived the 30 minute drive home! On their menu, it looks like they offer cheese tonkatsu, which would be the first restaurant to offer this dish in all of South Jersey (to my knowledge). Warrants another visit :)\n\nThe owners are also really nice and friendly people, and I'm excited to go back and try other dishes and support!",
"I must say this place might be one of the better ramen places around. The decoration was cute, with the red lanterns hanging from the ceiling--all wood types of furniture gave friendly vibes. We got karaage, which was pretty crispy, but the chicken was still moist. The shrimp tempura was crisp and crunchy. For ramen, we got tonkatsu ramen, black garlic ramen, and shuyu ramen. They have excellent creamy soup bases. At first, I thought it was bacon on top of the noodle, but it was just the pork belly. Total surprise‼ p.s. If you would like to customize your soup, you can as well. \n\nOne thing I do have to say is the wooden chair is not friendly for sitting and someone with a bad back.\n\nOverall, I do enjoy this experience. The price was average. The food was excellent. People were amiable there and kept topping off our tea! I would recommend this place and return for another visit.",
"Looking for a warm seasonal dine-in meal on a cold fall night, we decided to try out Kokoro Ramen in Cherry Hill. It is located in the same shopping center as Hung Vuong Supermarket, the new large Asian market in the area. Having tried other ramen places in the area, we wanted to give the relatively new restaurant a shot and check out the nearby supermarket afterwards. \n\nThe interior appeared to be very clean and as such we felt more than comfortable eating indoors. That said, they did appear to offer outdoor seating as well, however I do not know if that will last into the colder months. \n\nIndeed, the restaurant was very clean and certainly followed COVID-19 precautions. From where I was sitting, the kitchen appeared clean as well -- I can say with certainty that it is the cleanest restaurant I have eaten at in recent months.\n\nUpon being seated, we were offered the choice of water or tea, free of charge. We opted for tea to warm us up on a cold night like tonight. For starters, we ordered the vegetable gyoza (five pieces, see attached) and the chicken karaage. Both came out rather quickly and tasted fresh and authentic. Not long after receiving our appetizers our ramens arrived. We ordered the Black Garlic Ramen and the Shoyu Ramen. The soups were flavorful, filling, and certainly hit the spot. I had the black garlic ramen, and it had a rich pork-based flavor with savory-umami black garlic overtones. The noodles were rather thin for our preference, but they certainly tasted fresh and homemade.\n\nThe check came out to be very reasonable -- less than $40 for two with two appetizers and two entrees.\n\nAll in all, the food was delicious, service friendly and timely (on a reasonably busy night, I should add) and it all came out at a very affordable price. I highly recommend Kokoro Ramen and I will certainly be back in the future.",
"Excellent food. The noodles are home made which adds an authentic touch We had the gyoza appetizer and should have ordered two. Dinner was a perfect portion and delicious. Service was also outstanding and waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Great find! We will be back",
"I stumbled on this ramen shop by accident but I am so glad I did. Terrific ramen noodles,--I had the Tankotsu ramen-- all packed nicely in a bowl, the broth was delicious. I will go back anytime I'm in that area. Way better than any ramen I've had in this area before.",
"AWESOME new ramen place. To start the service is great ! So nice and sooooooo fast and quick to answer any questions you have right away.\nHuge shout out to the in house fresh made noodles that were perfect with great broth and perfectly done additions. The pork buns were amazing and more often.then not you wont.find really good tempura in the area at all.but WOW the shrimp.tempura was absolutely perfect as well.\n\nWill be back again soon and often !!!",
"I've dined in twice and enjoyed the experience both times. The staff is really friendly and attentive. The ramen broth is very flavorful and they are generous with the portion sizes. Highly recommend checking out this new ramen restaurant!",
"I'm so happy to have found this amazing ramen restaurant! Especially since they are allowing indoor dining (with social distancing of course). I had ordered the Mazemen and my husband had ordered the Black Garlic Ramen with some spicy miso on the side. Both were delicious and were amazing for the cold night that we had. \n\nThe servers were incredibly nice and were very accommodating with our requests, the Black Garlic Ramen is not normally a spicy dish, but my husband had really wanted some spicy paste to go along with it and they were able to set a sauce dish aside for him. We also were a bit late to our reservation and they were very accommodating with that as well. \n\nOverall, I'm happy to see that this Ramen restaurant is near the Hung Vuong Supermarket! It makes it really convenient when we get hungry after shopping! Definitely a must try!"

"TLDR: Phenomenal Mediterranean/Levantine food with reasonable prices and large portions!\nI've been wanting to try this place ever since I saw it being built a few months ago. Now it's finally open and I'm SOOOOOO glad I tried it! Service was fine, but let's get to talking about the food: I got the Kofta Kebab (kofta kebab is a mixture of lamb and beef and it's shape can be compared to an Indian/Pakistani Seekh Kebab) which I haven't found at any other Mediterranean or Levantine restaurant in the area and it tasted amazing, especially with the included yogurt-like sauce. Another family member got the lamb kebab and he said it tasted delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and I cannot wait to come again to try their Kanafeh which I have heard they all sell!!!",
"Excellent service. Amazing food. This will be my new go to for Mediterranean food! Try the breads and the baba ghanoush",
"Second time here. Both times have been great. The staff is friendly and attentive. Ordered the schwarma combo both times. Good location. Clean!!!!!",
"Recently opened fast casual restaurant serving up fresh, tasty, authentic Lebanese food. Clean restaurant, friendly staff and great portion sizes. Tried the beef and chicken shawarma, gyros and combo kabobs - all were amazing! Great selection of freshly made salads, sides, and dips/sauces, as well as house made pita and baklava. All the food I tried was well seasoned and flavorful without being too salty or greasy. I have tried almost every Lebanese place in the metro New Orleans/Metairie area, and normally don't leave reviews, but this might be the best.",
"Sooo good!!! My husband and I have gone here twice already this week!! We get the shawarma special! I like the gyro and the beef he likes the chicken and gyro! Great service! You get a lot for your money! The cheese and herb pie is a MUST! We will probably eat their again tonight ...not kidding y'all!",
"I really wanted to be able to rate this place higher. The inside is beautiful, the staff is nice, and I was happy with my entire ordering experience. I had a gyro plate which was divine. A chicken kabob plate that was so dry it seemed like it was microwaved multiple times and a shrimp plate. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly on most pieces but there were a few that lacked any flavor. The rice on my shrimp plate tastes like it was at the bottom of a rice cooker compared to my other dishes fresh fluffy rice. They have potential to make great food but I wasn't pleased with all of my items as a whole.",
"The food was awesome. Idk what the sauce is that came with my beef plate but so good! The employees are great too. Had a tasty little baklava sample, delicious. They did forget to put my falafels in my bag though, kinda bummed about that. Overall still good food.",
"Solid food. Everything made fresh. Convenient location and good customer service. Highly recommended",
"This was the best restaurant I have been in a long time. The food was very fresh and cooked excellent. The pita bread was so amazing, the tzatziki was perfect, and my shrimp were fresh and a good size (not those small ones). The staff was very friendly and the food was ready very quickly. I will definitely be coming back. \nAlso their baklava was the best I have ever tasted, I won't even try to describe how good it was.",
"Food was great. Service was exceptional. Portions were very large. Would definitely come back again. The pastries they gave us at the end of the meal were delicious"

"Rare Ethnic Cuisine No. 67 - Laotian Cuisine. \n\nSap Sap just have Grand Open. My Yelp Friend Anna told me about this restaurant and we have try them at the second day of Grand Opening. This restaurant over take previously Vietnamese restaurant. Now it has Laotian cuisine. Time to have changed in this restaurant. \n\nThey sold out the food first day and force them to open their restaurant at 1pm second day due new kitchen work for preparation the ingredients. I would said they are not smoothly open yet. Order, food delivery, and service are not really on track yet. Fortunately the taste is there. We waited our food for 1.1 hours. Obviously they mixed up our order. Service did get to us the beginning, was not check back later. These are the item they need to improve. One thing for sure my wife has said is to simplify the menu call out. It is difficult for the American to call out the Lao food name and it can be easily mixed up. \n\nWe start with the chicken wings and the Laap Beef. The wing is really good coating. The laap beef has good spicy item. It is good spicy to me but my friend said is too hot for them. But the restaurant did offer to lower the spiciness at the end for my friend to take home. We also has the Thum Mua Sap Sap Style - it is the salad with vermicelli noodle, shrimp and the beef meat ball. It was delicious. I like the style. We also have the the Laotian sausage. I like this the most. The last dish is the homemade fried pork jerky. The pork is slice with marinated sesame seed. I like this dish too. \n\nOverall they need be on track. Need to simplify the order, need to improve the speed of food delivery. I give them a pass today since they are new restaurant.",
"Authentic, fresh, great service and reasonable pricing. Highly recommend this new hidden gem!",
"Authentic Laos food, nostalgic dishes. Portions and menu options are plentiful. The spices are on point for everything even additional spice cups. Greatly appreciate this restaurant for their craft because now I don't have to travel far for great Laos food. The atmosphere is clean and modern. So cute with their pic wall and a cute saying. The staff is attentive and very knowledgeable with recs if needed.",
"Delicious Laos foods in town,you must try everything here....stop by guys and show them some love",
"Went to Sap Sap for lunch today with co-workers. Everyone's food came out and was delicious. I had the crab fried rice and that is crab with a C and not a K. Really good fried rice and portions are good to. Had to get a to go container. Definitely will be back and will bring more co-workers with me.",
"Great staff, great food, what more can you ask for!! Best place for Laos cuisine!!!!",
"I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the Tampa area and need a quick fix to feel right at home! Between the cleanliness, aesthetics and authenticity of the food you will not be disappointed. We ordered a variety of items to make sure we didn't miss out on anything. We enjoyed the flavor, spice level and sweetness of each entree and couldn't be more pleased with the service. Thank you to the Sap Sap staff for bringing the lao culture to a big a town.\n-Sy",
"I was excited to see another Asian place in this neighborhood, but was so disappointed, a bit overpriced, portions small, really fried rice 14$.. and omg!! Everything is soaked in oil. The workers are not very professional, and too many family comes and go like your at there house. But hey... bottom line they need to adjust there price, if they want business, lots of choices around, and in this neighborhood people won't go.",
"beyond the amazingly authentic dishes, I love this small family style restaurant. the wide array of options on the menu are my favorite. They really treat their customers like family. And I have been here several times, it is always consistent. We locals really appreciate all you provide!",
"I'm a fan of small places...there's a good chance that whatever they make will most likely be great. This place did not disappoint. We had some family in town and wanting to try something Asian but also vegan friendly since there was a variety of palates to be satisfied. \nTotally a good call. The place is unassuming but once inside, you are greeted by a cozy set-up. The server was really friendly and helpful. We loved that you had the option of changing a few things to meet some preferences with no problem. The meat eaters loved their apps (the fried chicken wings especially) and dishes. Good size portions and the usual options of choosing protein was good. \nFor dessert had to go with the traditional mango and sticky rice, we get this whenever it's on the menu. Theirs was a good size and the mango was perfectly sweet and nicely sized. \nMy kid tends to eat in repeat so when he says he wants to come back-I know we've found a keeper. Highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere new to try and support a business in these crazy times!"

"A great new pop up in the Fishers Test Kitchen. Focusing on a simple American burger. I enjoyed a double paddy NJB style with an order of oui oui onion rings and my colleague feasted on a double Old John style with three-way fries. As if by magic the burger was gone, if it hadn't been so filling I would have gone back for another right then. The onion rings were nice and crispy and the french onion gravy was on point. The chili, cheese, roasted peppers mix is a definite must wether you have it on the fries or onion rings. Do remember oh, while it will be around for a little bit this is a pop up so get there while you can.",
"I second that review! Awesome burgers you can choose from their selection or build your own. And only $5. Seems like I've been paying more than double that at most restaurants these days. Pair your burger with a brew from Sun King in the Test Kitchen confines or on their upstairs or downstairs patio.",
"I took one bite into my cheesy fries and was awakened to the fact that I've truly never had crispy fries before until the ones I got here. The crinkly fries were so perfectly crispy, hot and tasty that I really felt like I had a fry awakening. You can choose fries or onion rings, then have them cheesy style (cheese on top), three-way (cheese, chili, roasted chiles), four-way (cheese, chili, roasted chiles, sour cream) or oui oui (garlic French onion gravy). \n\nI also got a single stack burger, NJB style (mustard, pickle, onion, shrettuce, American cheese). All of their burgers are diner-style smash burgers and you can get anywhere from one to three patties. You can then get those roadhouse style (with American cheese), old John style (shrettuce, pickle, onion, tomato, mustard, Mayo, American cheese), dandy (shrettuce, onion, pickle, tomato, American cheese, rempujase) or the NJB style, mentioned above. Soooo delicious! \n\nShout out to local chef Neal Brown for crushing another local foodie endeavor. Located in the Fishers Test Kitchen in Sun Kung, it's a fun environment and great spot to try a new food. There is hand sanitizer everywhere and you'll go up to the counter, order, get a buzzer, and then pick up your food yourself when it's ready. Enjoy!",
"One of the success stories of the Fishers Test Kitchen at the Yard is that there has already been a transition from one of the businesses to a replacement. One Trick Pony has stepped into the last kitchen area in the row of pop up test kitchens next to Sun King. I got a chance to talk after my lunch with the man running the restaurant. He has grand hopes for franchising his concept across the whole country to maybe 1200 businesses! Talk about ambition. The key to that is finding out how your first business is received and ironing out any problems before you go big! I must say that this is an impressive start.\n\nFirst, the name: \"One Trick Pony\" refers to their logo which states \"We do one thing really well. An that's hot, fresh, smashed burgers that are diner style, made to order, & pressed on a hot griddle\". That is definitely true. I ordered a double burger and each of the patties (about a quarter pound) was individually seasoned and seared to bring out the deep beef taste. \n\nKnow that you can order a single, double, or triple burger. Instead of telling them what you want on your order, they have \"Styles\" of toppings you can select. I picked the Old John style which has shrettuce (shredded lettuce), pickle, onion, tomato, mustard, mayo, and American Cheese. There are several other styles you can order and if you need other condiments, there were some packets near the cash register, so be sure to look if your \"style\" doesn't come with a particular one.\n\nI also ordered a side of fries. You can get just plain fries or onion rings, but you can also order them with many types of sauces/cheeses (basically a poutine). \n\nLet me say that the first bite of my burger had a great crunch to it! Crisp toppings (pickle, onion, tomato) and a crisp sear to each of the burgers was a pleasant surprise. That's the way I like my burger and although there was a lot to eat, I didn't feel like I had any trouble fitting these smashed burgers in my mouth. (Much different than eating the half pound Big Mouth Burgers that are usually underseasoned and rely upon the toppings for flavor. If anything, by seasoning each of the burgers, they were almost too salty by the end, but they didn't get too bad because of all the toppings on mine.\n\nThe cheesy style fries were okay. The cheese reminded my of the creamy smooth Cheez- Whiz style so that it could be pourable/dip-able. I noticed that the cheese was poured directly onto the fries and by the time I got to the end, the fries were getting soggy. After lunch, I stopped by and asked if the owner would like any feedback. I suggested they pour the sauces/cheese for the fries into a small cup and let the customer dip the fries. He said he really like that idea and thought it would be really helpful for carryout orders. So if you get fries with a topping and don't want to eat them first, simply ask for the sauce on the side!\n\nThe stand along fries seemed crisp and already salted, so my wife grabbed some ketchup packets from the counter for hers.\n\nOverall, we really enjoyed our food and interaction with the owner. \n\nOne thing you should be aware of if you go in for lunch: Sun King doesn't open until the middle afternoon, so you will need to order a beverage from the restaurant, or wait until later in the day if you want a beer with your meal. Don't blame One Trick Pony if you can't get a beer. This business is not associated with Sun King in any way other than sharing the same dining room.\n\nNote that like the other food places in the Test Kitchen, you pay when you order and they give you a buzzer that lets you know your food is ready to come pick up. That way you can stake claim to one of the seating places in the common seating area. Also note that napkins and plasticware are located at stations near the entrance. Down below is the place you can throw away your trash. (I believe Sun King busses the tables later in the day.) Near those stations, they also have sanitizer and cloths you can use to spray your own table and chairs before sitting if you are uncertain when the last time it was sanitized. \n\nIt's nice to see a new business looking successful during these difficult times. We enjoyed our experience and would gladly return to dine again!\n\nNote that it isn't a cheap burger place like the fast food places, but depending upon the number of burgers you stack on your sandwich, the price can climb fairly fast. But the prices are clearly posted. Just pay attention before you order and you will be okay!\n\nReview #3816",
"I don't know what the hell is going on with the crunchy edges of the beef patties, but I like it a lot. It's crunchy like a perfect piece of crisp bacon, or a lacy fringe of spilled cheese fried until brown.\n\nI really like thin, smashed burgers - and OTP has this part nailed. The burger was a little small for $9 (double patty), but the flavor and novel crunchiness of the patties made it feel like a fair trade. Next time I'll try the single patty to see if it's worth an extra $4 for one patty. Definitely coming back when I'm feeling like a splurge.\n\nImportant note: the menu is very simple as far as burger options, but I asked for caramelized onions instead of raw and they accommodated the request at no extra charge. So they may have more options than what is listed, you just have to ask to find out. \n\nThe guy behind the counter was friendly, brownie points!",
"One Trick Pony was a hit for us during a recent grab and go experience at the Fishers Test Kitchen. It had been a bit since our last visit so we decided to make the trek to check out the latest addition along with Lil' Dumplings temporary winter ramen menu. Note that carryout is fairly easy here but that they also have plentiful outdoor (summery spaced out) seating available. \n\nThe \"no frills\" double smash burger topped with lettuce, onions and cheese knocked out socks off. From the crispy edges of the burger to the juicy center and flavorful onions, we savored every bite. Next time we'll have to try the cheesy fries or loaded onion rings. The menu is limited for a reason- but fret not, you don't need any other options Congrats, Neal and OTP team. Looking forward to our next visit.",
"Every year for our wedding anniversary my husband and I get burgers. I had been craving a true smashed burger with delicate lacy edges and this was it!! First of all, my husband arrived much earlier than our pickup time but they were able to accommodate him. Then they fulfilled my wish for cheese on the side of my fries. Sometimes takeout can be a risk but the fries and onion rings made it home crispy and delicious and the burgers were perfection. We're definitely coming back.",
"We decided to try this place out. The burgers were delicious. We tried the cheese fries and they did not disappoint! The beer cheese was so yummy. Can't wait to go back and try the loaded fries. We will definitely be back again!",
"Such a juicy burger! One bite in and I was hooked! I order a side of onion rings. OTP is located inside the sun king in fishers. Parking is a breeze, there is plenty of parking available. In order to sit upstairs in the patio area you must make reservations before hand to secure you a table.",
"I was really looking forward to trying this as I absolutely love the smash burger. Unfortunately this was not a good experience. Not only was the food bad, the cook that was preparing the food was not wearing gloves. Very odd, especially during COVID. When placing burgers on the buns, he was adjusting everything with his bare hands and then wiping his hands on his clothes. See pictures of the cheeseburger."

"Hey Hendersonville/ Gallatin, \nThere is a new Seafood Boss in town with the name of The Smashin' Crab. We tried getting into the grand opening last night, but with an hour and a half wait, we just decided to come today to experience all that Cajun goodness. \n\nFrom the moment we set foot inside the establishment we felt welcomed from the smile of the hostess to the Mardi Gras tunes blasting from the speakers. We were getting hype before we had even experienced the food. \n\nFrom the Covid perspective, safety measures were put in place from limited seating inside to expanded seating outside. Every member was wearing masks and tables had large spaces surrounding them. I witnessed tables being sanitized and prepped just seconds after they were vacated as well. Their waiting area is expanded to the whole Streets of IL complex which is majorly cool! They take your number and text you when your seating is available. You can go shop or walk around the complex at your leisure. Why don't other places do this???? \n\nNow.... let's talk food. When we go to a new restaurant, we normally get a smattering of dishes to see what exactly are their specialties. On this occasion, we opted for chargrilled oysters, fried calamari, and a shrimp boil with veggies, corn and potatoes. Lawson educated us on what spices and sauces to get. Figure this out early because we got classic and zero heat and it's still had some fire to it. The fun part was opening the bags and just dumping all the contents on the table. Be prepared to get messy, which let's admit, is half the fun. No worries about cleanup because they have a handy dandy little wash up station right in the center of the place. \n\nEverything was delicious!! Not gonna lie... seafood is our favorite and we are a little biased in this matter since the hubs is from FLA, but we desperately needed a place like The Smashin Crab in our area for a long time. After we left, we had full bellies and happy smiles. \n\nThings to know before you come: \n1. Everyone in Hville eats out on Friday and Saturday nights, so plan accordingly. If you don't want to wait, try a lunch or Tuesday/ Wednesday night when the crowd has died down. \n\n2. Lawson told us that their food comes out as it is prepared, so it's easier to order apps, entrees and drinks all at once and then sit back and enjoy. \n\n3. If you are looking for a place to watch a game, they have TVs EVERYWHERE! \n\n4. This is a casual atmosphere where you can have a good meal with a large group or just for the two of you. For parties larger than ten, please call and make a reservation.",
"Best seafood in Sumner County. The service is on point!!! I will be here on a frequent basis. It's new and if you haven't been yet, get here. I don't think I've enjoyed a restaurant meal more. It's worth the price. You get what you pay for, Above quality food, service, and drinks.",
"Mehhhh. Not even sure where to begin. Tried this place out with high hopes. Oysters good. No complaints there. We tried the lobster roll- first off, Lobster rolls should NOT be spicy- they should be succulent and the flavor of the sandwich was destroyed by spice and grease. The lobster roll wasn't even all lobster and it was cut with langostino or crawfish. \nCrab cake advertised as 2 but received only one- and my daughter didn't even eat it since it was spicy as well, to me this was disappointing since a crab cake is pretty basic and people can easily add hot sauce if they want it spicy. \nOnly half of us received our food while we waited for others entrees. Waitress told us after we were waiting 22 min for an entree: \"sorry the food just comes out when it's done and not at the same time as other orders.\" This isn't a tapas place- food timing needs work for sure. Overall a disappointment.",
"This place is amazing. Welcome to Hendersonville TN. Food was delicious and staff is very courteous. Covid-cautious business! I will be back.",
"As a kid from Louisiana and part time food critic blogger, finding a bit of home was a dream come true when I walked in this place. The atmosphere reminds me of a classier side of the French quarter and the food would make my grandmother wonder if her cookbook went missing lol. The staff seems to really enjoy their job as the air was full of laugher and kudos from one staff member to another. In a nut shell if your wanting a very Covid prevention safe environment with genuinely happy staff and hands down the best out of state Louisiana style cuisine around check this place out.",
"Food is great. Service? Well, let's say they gotta work on it. We had 10 people, we ordered drinks, apps, etc. the place wasn't that busy and maybe 1/3 or so full. Drinks took a good 10-15 mins. Apps came kind of quick. \n\nThen we get to main food. Holy hell that was a disaster. 6 out of 10 people got food. They all finished. Then 3 more dishes came...21 minutes later (that's when I was counting prob higher)...then they forgot one dish....another 10 minutes.\n\nI'll be back but when serving food you gotta get that kitchen lined up a s synced otherwise people are gonna get mad. Also, the server could have forgot some things too. I don't know. 5 star food and 2-3 star service at best.",
"The food was amazing! The owner was super nice and wanted to make sure we had a great experience. Will be coming back soon. I want to try that lobster roll!",
"We usually go to Storming Crab in Madison, but wanted to support the new restaurant. We are super disappointed in spending over $115 for the quality of food and quantity. We will go back to Storming Crab in the future. \nWe hope the restaurant will consider this feedback and adjust flavor and quantity of serving. The veggies (a few pieces of broccoli, two green beans, a few pieces of cauliflower, and a few pieces of green pepper was $5) and the corn was $1 each. \nAgain, super disappointed.",
"They were full to capacity when we arrived and the kitchen was admittedly working hard to keep up. The flow of food was steady though and worth the wait. I tried the wings. Slightly over cooked but very good sauce. I'd get them again. \nThe shrimp basket was well seasoned and a great portion to share or make a meal. Then the lobster roll which was full of lobster and worth the price I paid. My wife got the crab boil and mentioned that she would order without the sauce next time but was delicious.",
"Great food, drinks service, and atmosphere!!!!! A must! So glad we have this option in the area!"

"Ok, a new business, a new start and a VERY COOL idea. This partially Covid-19 damaged, store is a new, cool idea that I can't frickin wait until it opens completely!\n\nGo in, get your 'card' and go over their wine selections. They have these ultra-cool vending machines for wine await. You can get a taste, a double taste and a glass. If you like it, there is take out to carry it home. There is a bar to drink more, a lounge area to chill and a small eatery for those necessary snacks while drinking.\n\nThis is a great idea and investment if they franchise. Go, chill, enjoy! \n\nP.S. - Shaking with enthusiasm, I forgot to take pictures...",
"New Wine Bar located in Maple Shade ! \n\nThe wine shop has been opened since June but the dine in option is now available :-)\n\nNormally you'll put money on a card and walk around the wine stations and choose wines you either want as a taster, 1/2 glass or full glass of. This is fun! Butttt due to Covid times, it's not your typical wine bar in which you can use the self serve wine station and choose freely which is a bummer.. but minimizing contact is what they aim for so I totally get it. You can still select from the number of wine options and the server will get your tasters for you!\n\nAs of this past weekend (9/11/2020), the kitchen opened up and you can now dine in! They had actions for appetizers, small plates, flatbreads and cheese and charcuterie board. We went with the cheese and charcuterie board and chose the 6 for $32. Great selections of cheeses and meats... all of which were excellent! They can also recommend wines that will pair well with the cheeses and meats you choose for those that want the full experience! The servers were all excellent and friendly and you can tell they were excited to finally open up to have people dine in.\n\nThe decor was very nicely done inside as well! I think this wine bar is a good start and I'm hoping they can continue to build and add even more wines! Will definitely be back as I'm in the neighborhood, so lucky me!",
"Try before, during and after you buy is an amazing concept that the team at Versi Vino has introduced to South Jersey with the help of their large array of wine dispensing machines! Hooters occupied this space for a lifetime and, while their wings were okay, this is way better!!\n\nThere are a lot of places to buy wine, but at Versi Vino it was really easy to try a small taste of a whole bunch of different wines to hone in on what you like. Once you have identified what you like (aided by the knowledgeable staff) you can buy a whole glass, or continue to try more cool and interesting wines from all over the map. I had a sparkling wine from Greece for the first time and followed that up with a white from Spain and a Carmenere from Chile, all of which were great!\n\nBut this is not (just) a wine shop, they have a great selection of charcuterie, cheese, flatbreads and more. We had an amazing platter of meat and cheese, as well as a few small plates including crostini, shrimp and really awesome olives to complement the wine.\n\nAt a time when a lot of businesses are closing down due to the pandemic, it was great to find something new and different. I will surely be back!",
"What a great new concept here in South Jersey! This modern new wine bar/wine shop/restaurant (think Soho NYC)is an inviting, pretty, and cool new place for date night, family party, or girls night out!!!! I love the fact that you can try well thought out flights, the knowledgeable staff is right there with suggestions, I highly recommend the sparkling flights!!!!! Or your choice of a taste, great for me because I don't always know what I like, Or 1/2 glass, a whole glass or bottle! Once you find the ones you love you can buy the bottles and take them home!!!! The small plates are delish, great for sharing and are a perfect compliment to the diverse wines!!!!\nI heard they will be expanding the menu to include more than the small plates once they are able to be at full capacity!\nI am looking forward to my next visit really soon!\nDawn P",
"I've heard some positive reviews on this new spot and got out last week with some friends to give it a try. We were NOT disappointed! The meat & cheese platter was excellent and you MUST try the crostini. We needed to order seconds it was so good. The wine selection was amazing and very well curated. There were so many options from all over the globe! They also had an impressive craft beer list for you if wine is not your thing. I love the concept of new wines every 45 days and the ability to order tastings of all of them so I know exactly what I want to buy a bottle of from the store before I leave. Additionally, they have a small private room in the back for intimate get togethers. Check this place out and bring your friends for a totally new wine experience.",
"I live in Philadelphia and have been making the short drive to Versi Vino in Maple Shade for takeout wine, beer and liquor since their soft opening in July. \n\nI stopped in today to buy a case of wine and was able to grab a seat at the bar to sample a few wines before buying (you don't get to do that at a PA state store!!). While I was there I ordered a cheese and meat charcuterie board (absolutely delicious) and ordered two flatbreads to go (the Traditional and Rosa Verde -- both were great!). \n\nThe owners and staff are so warm and welcoming. They are extremely knowledgeable about each wine and beer they sell, and they provide great suggestions every time I stop in. The price ranges are great too -- I've purchased wines from $15/bottle and up!\n\nThere aren't many wine bar/restaurants in the area. I can't wait to see Versi Vino's expansion into a full food menu and look forward to continuing to try their top quality wines and beer!!",
"We made an impromptu stop in today while on our walk, and we are so glad we did! The place is really cool looking inside, and spotlessly clean. There are a few different seating options, including tables, the bar, a lounge, and a private room for rent (I imagine it would be perfect for a bridal shower!) We had 2 flights each, which come in sets of 3, with the tasters each priced accordingly, rather than a flat rate. You can also order half glasses ( a really cool and unusual option), full glasses and bottles. They are happy to give you their take home menu, as the bottles are less expensive to take home than to open in house, and we appreciated that transparency. They also hsve small plates, and they were delicious! We had a fabulous whipped ricotta, walnut and honey crostini; the addictive Santorini flatbread; and the warm olives, which were lovely to munch on with our wine. Our server, Katie, was cheerful and attentive, and the wine expert, Jill, is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and also very nice - we enjoyed chatting with her. In the future, she indicated that they will have a \"pour your own\" option using a card, which is suspended at the moment due to COVID, but she also indicated that the business will evolve as they get more situated, and we are looking forward to being regulars as they do!",
"I love this place! I go almost every weekend bringing a different friend. The staff are all very knowledgeable and so nice. The small plates are delicious, the crostini with whipped ricotta is a must have! I love being able to sample all the wine for a very small charge before purchasing a whole glass. The flights are very reasonable as well.",
"If you've not been to Versi Vino yet - get there now!\n\nSouth Jersey NEEDED a place like Versi Vino for a LONG, long time. Stopped by with my husband recently and was thoroughly impressed with the design of the location, the extensive wine list, the flexibility of tasting options, the welcoming staff who is very knowledgeable and excited to give their guests the best experience possible, and the delicious menu items available for purchase.\n\nYou can stop by here for light bites and a glass of wine, an extensive tasting where you can choose the volume of the tastes you want, can order a flight of wine (try the sparking wine flight) or a bottle or two to go. With regards to picking up a bottle or two, this is a great place to pick up wine bottles on your way to dinner at a family/friends house or to a local BYOB and why not have the opportunity to taste it before you buy it! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying their wine lists as it continues to change with new additions and exciting wines to try.\n\nYou can also purchase a Wine Card, load it with a dollar amount of your choice, and purchase sips by the glass at their wine tasting machines - note this is on hold for the safety of the customers due to Covid-19. Love this idea and can't wait for it to be fully available when safe to do so.\n\nHighly recommend making reservations but walk-ins are accepted as well. Check out their Instagram page to stay up-to-date on specials, virtual tastings, and in-house wine classes as well. Cheers!",
"Our group of 4 had a great evening here. The staff is not only knowledgeable about wine, but they are enthusiastic about it too. The selection is excellent, and there is beer for the non wine drinkers. We had a selection of appetizers, and loved the flatbread so much ordered a second. The ravioli are house made and the veggie ones are not to be missed. Looking forward to returning and watching their menu grow."

"Delicious! I had the opportunity to try them at their soft opening and I can't wait to come back!! There were so many options on the menu and the size of the tacos and portions of the dips were perfect, I was definitely expecting something smaller for the great price and was not disappointed! Definitely get the pineapple guacamole and a Fresca! I had the barbecue pork taco and the brisket and both were amazing. Hoping they have some dessert options in the future even if it's just a special, and maybe shrimp tacos",
"We were so fortunate to be selected to attend the soft opening event at Condado Tacos new location in Carmel. The atmosphere is amazing. They have done a fabulous job renovating the location. Super cool and vibrant. Had the Pineapple Express Margarita and it was so yummy...think pineapple upside cake meets tequila. Started with chips, dirty queso and guacamole. Good flavor and great portions of each. Had 3 tacos for dinner...portions are huge for tacos and I would have been fine with 1 or 2. Regardless I ate every bite because they were so good. We will be back for sure. Thanks to our server Brandon for all of his food recommendations. This is a must visit in Carmel for yummy tacos and tequila in a cool environment.",
"Today is the grand opening of Condado. So not surprisingly they were quite busy. I was able to be seated fairly quickly at a high top table. I went specifically today to get a free taco which they advertised for the grand opening but I didn't read the fine print saying a purchase was necessary to get a free taco. I understood the hostess to say I had to order a Margherita in order to get a free taco. Perhaps I misunderstood her; however I ordered a Margherita to comply. The Margherita was very good. My ground beef soft taco with the toppings I selected was good however I would have preferred some sauce on top. I finished my taco and I was still a bit hungry and had about half my drink left. So I decided to order chips and salsa. I took one star away on my review due to not receiving chips and salsa for free. I like a Mexican/ Southwest restaurant that gives you complementary chips and salsa. I chose the Rojo salsa (red and it was a bit spicy) to have with my half order of chips. I didn't care for the chips both in flavor and texture - they were on the thick side, I prefer a thinner, lighter chip. I was very happy with my server who was friendly and attentive. The painted walls are bright and fun - the best part of the decor.",
"Came here for opening day. Obviously very packed. Food and tequila were fantastic. \n\nAll 100% agave drinks so margs, palamos, etc are fantastic. \n\nFood: nachos, queso with pork, tacos galore. Honestly loved the Lucy tacos the most. Over the pork and brisket. Everything was fantastic and like this local Tex mex joint. \n\nWill be back. My waiter who came from the Columbus Condado Tacos was best. Need to figure out to bring his talent to Indy.",
"My girlfriend is a big fan of Condado, so when we were looking for somewhere to eat and saw this location had just opened, we knew where we wanted to go. There was a decent wait because everyone else seemed to have the same idea, but it was definitely worth it.\n\nIn order to try out as much as I could, I ordered 3 tacos with beef, chorizo and chicken respectively. Of the three, chicken was my favorite, but the other two were also delicious.\n\nThe service here was a little slow, but I will chalk that up to the crowds of people paired with the fact that this location did just open. It was also hard to hear because it was very loud. Even so, everyone was very nice and polite.\n\nPerhaps the best part of our visit, however, was the tacos giveaway. Everyone walked away with at least 1 free taco. Much to our surprise, my girlfriend won a year's worth of tacos. I'm excited to keep coming back.",
"We were hungry and driving down Old Meridian and saw the sign. We have not been to any of the prior locations or heard of Condados before. \n\nThink \"gourmet\" tacos. The atmosphere is very bright and vibrant. A lot of hard surfaces, so if packed, my guess is that it's going to be loud. \n\nThe have two garage door style windows on the side and have double entry doors on the side and front. There is a patio area (not assembled yet) and will be nice when open. \n\nThey serve more than just tequila and margaritas, they have a full bar, but we opted for just food and tea/water this trip. \n\nWe ordered a triple sampler and chose all queso options (plain queso, elote, and dirty). You can select guacs or salsas or combine different ones. \n\nThe plain is exactly as it seems. Hardly any flavor and no spice to it. The elote was good (elote mix on the plain queso), but still a little bland. The dirty was the best of the three. It had a little heat and was very tasty. \n\nWe each ordered two tacos. The Blue Dream, the Ooey-Gooey, the El Santo, and the Bad Habit and a side of the Bacon Refried Beans (the beans have a kick, perfect to mix in the plain queso though!)\n\nThe Ooey-Gooey is good, but the name is a little misleading. It's not ooey or gooey, I was thinking it would be dripping with cheese. It is good, just not as I expected from the name, but still very good. \n\nThe Blue Dream was good, however, it may have been our least favorite of the 4 we tried. It wasn't bad, just not as good as the others by comparison. It is a solid good taco though. \n\nThe Bad Habit was, by far, the one that knocked it out of the park. A perfect combination of warm and cool and spice and flavors. A dang great taco. \n\nYou'll mostly likely find something that you like, we will definitely be back to try the other tacos and nachos.",
"We just had dinner at this new location. They have both indoor and patio seating. They are directly across from Meijer. They do what they call three buds which are 3 different dips and you can get the half or the whole. Since there was only two of us we got the half and it was more than plenty. They were all delicious and I really loved the chips they claim to make in-house. We then each got two tacos. Lucy's fire and blue dream and then I got two build your own tacos one chicken and one steaks the ranch crunchy shells. I loved the taco shells but I'm gonna be honest I didn't taste ranch at all. They don't offer much in the way of sides so I got the bacon refried beans and I was warned it was really spicy so I took one bite and I was done with them. And I love spicy food but this took my breath away. I had the Pineapple Express margarita and liked it and then the other person got a house margarita since they were on special for $5 and it was okay. This place was perfect for us but I could see how some might be put off by this being a taco joint and no other options. So if you go with the understanding that this is a taco place and not a Mexican restaurant you will be fine. Gabrielle was our server and she did a great job. Because of the rain we ate inside which was a little noisy for me. I found the chairs rather uncomfortable and not built for those of us with extra padding. The first table we got was on the direct traffic area and the seats had no backs so it was like sitting on a stool so we asked to be moved to the other side which had chairs with backs but built for small people so not comfortable at all. One final tip here. When you have two Middle Aged adults it's never a good idea to seat them next to a couple with 5 small kids. Not very enjoyable especially when the rest of the restaurant was empty for the most part.",
"Woohoo Condado has come to Carmel!! My whole family came here for an early dinner on opening night. First impression was that this a is wonder open air feeling location and the staff is very positive and out going. Our waiter, Dung T. Was one of the nicest, friendliest, and thorough waiters I have ever met anywhere! Before leaving he told me he also bartends there, so hit him up, he's great.\n For anyone who knows Condado from Mass Ave or Broad ripple now show great the food can be. We all had the build your own tacos. I had one with pulled pork, and one with cilantro lime steak. Both were great and very savory and satisfying, but I must admit I prefer their pulled pork. Something about it makes it perfect for tacos. All of our orders came out promptly, and better yet, correct to order. Dung was prompt with refills on our sodas, and we left satisfied and filled with positive energy. That was 6 days ago, and I can't wait to go back. This place is great for date night, going out the the guys or girls, family time , or any casual event you have planned for the future.",
"We decided to hope over and try the new condado location in Carmel and they did not disappoint!I thought going around 730pm on a Sunday, but they were pretty busy. However, we were able to be seated at the bar right away. We started out with the 3 buds (3 dips with chips) as an appetizer we really enjoyed the corn salsa and Korean bbq queso. The pineapple guacamole was okay but the guacamole was really smooth and I prefer chunky. My husband and I got 3 tacos each and after two I was very full. They were all great but my favorite over all was the Korean bbq taco. We will definitely be back!",
"Build your own tacos!! Never order the pre-made one, they cost more! But it was so good! Cant wait to go back!"

"OMG I now dream of these ribs. I was traveling from out of town so there is a chance that all St. Louis style ribs are this good I wouldn't know but I do know when I am back in town this is were I will go. The ribs were perfectly seasoned, falling off the bone tender and the spicy sauce that came with it, made them the best ribs I have ever had in my life. We traveled to Memphis, and Kansas City on the road trip and had ribs at all the \"famous\" places while there and these ribs beat them all hands down. We started with the brisket fried raviolis. They were good but definitely took a sideline to those amazing ribs. In case you haven't caught on yet, their ribs are the best.",
"We came here last minute with a large group. They were super accommodating and nice and sat us almost immediately. Our server, Mikael was amazing and made great recommendations. We ordered a lot of food but the favorites were 100% the Mac n Cheese is to die for you have to get it. The toasted raviolis were great, a lot of drink options and the smoked meal, particularly the brisket was great. Highly recommend! Thank you!",
"Salt + Smoke is a staple amongst the locals. Please disregard any review prior to May 2021, as this location was not open yet.",
"OMG, the devilled eggs, and brisket sandwich were so good! If I weren't headed into the stadium soon for a game, oh and I was hungrier I would have ordered another...",
"An impromptu stop to see the arch and found this gem next to the stadium! I've had St Louis ribs in just about every state I've been to but never in St Louis!! Tried them two ways, wet and dry rub! Tender and amazing! The smoke is \"no joke\"!! If you're in town, you have to check them out!",
"Very good pulled pork. Wings were outstanding. Burger and ribs were great. Love their mustard sauce. And you have to try the white cheddar Mac and cheese",
"If you plan to see 1st pitch, go elsewhere. We came in at 4:40 and thought we were lucky to get seated. It took 15 minutes for a waiter to address us. The drinks came quickly which was encouraging. We ordered food and then waited... and waited....and waited. Fifty minutes later, we paid our drink bill and left. I enjoyed their restaurant in the Loop and everything was fine there. Seems like they weren't ready to address a ballpark crowd at their new joint in Ballpark Village. I won't darken that door again.",
"The wife and I agree here while visiting St. Louis. No wait. Staff and service was good. On the food, the half slab of ribs were delicious. This is a 4 star review because of the ribs. The wife described the ribs as some of the best she has ever had. The pulled pork was good but not as good. The tangy sauce is the best. We did not like the Alabama ranch much. It was quite acidic. I liked that server brought us multiple types of sauce. We enjoyed tasting them all. \n\nThe sides were good, but the Mac and cheese had no salt/no taste and the creamed corn was basically pure salt. No salt provided at the table - annoying. So we mixed the two and it worked well. I had the brisket chili and the baked beans. Both were well seasoned.\n\nThe beers we ordered, a m sunny cat IPA and Passing Clouds Wit were good, but the server didn't seem to know which was which and was entirely unable to answer questions about the beers on the menu. An obvious training fail by the restaurant management.\n\nThe giant piece of apparently fried bread was not good. It was the consistency of fried dough without the sugar and without the taste.",
"Worst waitress ever. My rum and diet tall came out as a shot of rum. They took it back and poured very little coke in it, still basically a shot of rum. I couldn't finish it. My Friend ordered a bud lite and was told they didn't have it. Then we noticed 4 of them on the next table.\nTook our drink order then disappeared for more than 10 minutes until we waved her down. Took her 10 minutes to figure out how to take our payment using a hand held device.\n\nThe food was fine, just not my style. Vinegar cole slaw. I prefer my ribs with the sauce glazed over heat. Theire's are dry rubbed. I assume it's a COVID-19 thing that they give you packets of bbq sauce not squirt bottle. We were only given 2 choices. I'm sure they have more than that. The bbq sweet potato chips were very good.",
"Really excellent food and great service. All the side options are just as good as the bbq options. The food also came out really fast which was great because the amazing smells were making us hungry. We will definitely be back!"

"Bodhi: in Buddhism, the state of enlightenment. \n\n...and also the new Thai restaurant and craft cocktail bar on Mass Ave. Located in the former Black Market space, this new gem serves up the freshest Thai food in the most inviting space - just peep that living wall! \n\nThree generations of women own the restaurant and have a team of all women chefs! I got to meet the owner Carmine and her mom while picking up takeout. They were so welcoming and you could tell they put so much love into everything they create. \n\nThey're opened for carry out only for now and hope to be opened to the public by March 25. \n\nWe got the spring rolls, sweet and sour stir fry with tofu, and stir fried flat noddles (pad see ewe) with tofu. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I look forward to trying more when they open!",
"Omfg...I don't review very often, but sometimes I'm moved to commit my thoughts to Yelp. I've had Thai food from many local spots over the last year and Bodhi is far and away the best I've had. I've been twice for carryout so far and both times were amazing - shout out to the Massaman Curry! The interior at this spot is amazing and this space (was formerly Black Market) has the best patio in the city. I can't wait to grab cocktails here!!",
"This place is FIRE. I mean this in two ways: \n1) this food is delicious\n2) If you aren't prepared for super spicy, order medium or mild. I (a spice loving person) ordered the Thai Green Curry, spicy, and boy it melted me. Some of the best curry I've ever eaten, but wow that was hot! Lol",
"Was lucky enough to stop in for they soft opening.. very nice place I love the outside set up very nicely done. My drink was very good (sorry name escapes me). I tried the panaag chicken curry... very delicious",
"This place is absolutely outstanding! There's nowhere else like it in Indianapolis. My partner and I recently moved from the NYC area, and until Bodhi came along, we've been having a hard time finding truly notable East Asian restaurants. Not only does Bodhi meet the mark, it surpassed our expectations! We ordered their steak salad which was nothing less than top-of-the-line art cuisine with a memorable taste that I still crave, their \"Curry Spaghetti\" which I never knew existed but I discovered I've always wanted (this place is the only place I've had anything like this, and I am in love), and we also ordered their Penang Curry which has quickly become our favorite Penang Curry from *any* restaurant we've been to (and we have been to many ...).\n\nIf you want real Thai food, where each bite takes at least 2 minutes to fully savor, this place is it. Really. I love it. I'm so glad they opened up!! (And, I'm stoked for the drinks ... that menu looks KILLERRRRRR).",
"Very fresh ingredients, great ambiance, friendly service, and great menu offerings making this place seem like an up and coming top new Thai destination. Complete wine and cocktail list. Only gripe was that portion sizes were not consistent -- curry dish and spicy shrimp dish were much smaller and barely shareable compared to the pad see ewe.",
"Alex was our server and had awesome recommendations! My girlfriend and I were excited to try the new spot. We were impressed with the drinks, and the Crab Puffs were the best we've ever had! Perfect addition to Mass Ave. We'll be back. Often!",
"Located at the end of Mass Ave, Bodhi is the new, trendy Thai spot in town. The interior is beautifully decorated with a garden wall and has a lively atmosphere (reminds me of nyc!) There is very limited indoor and outdoor seating and they don't take reservations. The wait can be up to 2 hours on the weekends so I recommend putting your name down and walking around the Bottleworks District. Bodhi had fun craft cocktails and the food was great. The spring rolls and drunken noodles were my favorite. If you do have a low spice tolerance, I recommend sticking with mild since medium had a delicious but definitely a good kick to it.",
"I love Thai food so i was excited to try this place out! I loved the atmosphere and was especially amazed by the live plant wall, perfect spot for a date or to dine with friends and although the kitchen closes at 10 the bar stays open until midnight. The Thai tea cocktail was delicious and i can't wait to go back and try some of the other cocktails available, there was one cocktail with onions that i think may be an acquired taste. The chili basil stir fry and coconut soup were really good and you can choose your own level of spicyness. The owner was super sweet and stopped by to chat with us briefly. Will definitely be back",
"Fantastic new Thai restaurant in the old Black Market space. They are still adjusting to service, but everything was excellent. The food was well prepared, beautifully plated (I, regretfully, took zero pictures), and delicious. It was a bit busy for a Monday evening and their bartender was absolutely slammed, but when our cocktails did arrive they were beautiful, well crafted, and tasted fantastic. I recommend trying the signature Thai Iced Tea cocktail. Its a brilliant twist on one of my favorite drinks. It is a 21+ establishment, so it's perfect for a kid free occasion. \n\nIts no small feat to open a restaurant downtown, let alone during a global pandemic with so many extra precautions to take into account. Be patient if you go in the next few weeks as they find their rhythm and get into their groove. It may take longer than expected, but it is very much worth it."

"We went the day after it opened. You had to get on open table to join the waitlist... I'm not sure if it's still like that. They didn't take reservations. But we got on the waitlist on our way out there and it said we were 14th in line. Our spot came up just as we pulled into the parking lot. So we didn't have to wait at all. The food was sooooo good! I had a hard time picking what I wanted because everything on the menu sounded amazing. We split the Twisted Shrimp appetizer. I got the \"wakey wakey\" burger and it was probably the best smash burger I've ever had. So flavorful and savory. My friend got the breakfast board and really loved it as well. Brunch all day. Will definitely be coming back! Can't wait to try everything on the menu!",
"Was super excited to try this new place out & wasn't disappointed! I recommend getting on the waitlist online if it's a weekend night. Food & service was amazing! Will definitely be back.",
"If I could give it more stars I would.... AMAZING!!! We got there when it opened at 11am to beat the crowd. There were 3 in my party and we all ordered a different burger and all 3 were delicious. The tavern fries and onion rings were also delicious. The servings were huge. We all walked out stuffed and looking forward to our next time. Highly recommend.",
"Twisted Tavern is amazing! The selection is not too big nor too small. They have plenty of options for adults as well as the kids! They burgers are fantastic and the steaks are aged and to die for. We will be back again and again!",
"Been waiting to get into this place since it opened!! Finally happened last night The staff were wonderful and great service. I enjoy my entree which was the Chicken and Prawns with the Grilled Corn, absolutely delicious. My husband had the house Twisted Salad, which was phenomenal by the way then for his entree he had the Special which was a 10oz Ribeye with Asparagus and Roasted Yukon Gold potatoes. The steak was not quite up to his expectations, but it was still a steak. We plan on going back to try their burgers and melts, maybe even the spaghetti. But next time I'll remember to take pictures of the food..",
"Excited to try a sister company to Helen Fitzgerald's /Sybergs , good food, long wait but worth it. Decor was mid contemporary as most bar:grills. Burgers were great, not dry. Ready to try another section of the menu, once the newness wears off and wait slows up a bit",
"So I traveled out of the city and tried this place and it was Great. The food was outstanding. I ordered the twisted fries and the lobster melt. The only issue was that I was so full from the fries that I was unable to finish my melt. It was worth it. Not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for. Also our server Angelina G. Was OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Make sure you check in Online wayyyyyy prior to your dinner plans...",
"We called ahead to make a reservation for a large birthday party of 20 or so, they wouldn't accept a reservation as they operate on a first come first served basis, (that's totally understandable) no problem. we waited, it took probably an hour for a table, again no big deal. But when we brought a cake in we were told we couldn't bring outside desserts in due to covid and we needed to put it back in the car... Then once they realized how upset everyone was about this they were basically like \"oh, you can bring your cake in but we're going to charge $2.50 per person for you to consume this cake you already paid for because you're eating it in our establishment.\" At the end of the meal, they ended up letting us bring the cake in and so on but the entire thing was just ridiculous.",
"Tried a new happening spot in Arnold called the Twisted Tavern it's really busy so I would suggest getting on the waitlist before going made are trip so easy.Seated right away are waitress Maggie B was Awesome !!! We tried the cheese curds they were good but would have been great not for the seasoning that was overpowering like someone just dropped a bottle of it on them we also had the Twisted Salad was really good the dressings are awesome and it tasted really fresh. We ordered the Steak sandwich with fries both of them really good also we had the special it was a 8oz steak with a mushroom sauce and asparagus with a twice baked potato really Great choice . Only reason not a 5 is because of the social distancing With the whole pandemic thing in these times it seems to be a must now days . But about time Jefferson Co finally gets a Great restaurant!!!",
"The service was insanely slow, the drinks were god awful. The food wasn't bad but unlikely we will ever go here again. We asked for the manager before we left and as I expected he was nowhere to be found. I hope this place makes it. Great location and the area needs a good restaurant but our first experience was just terrible, and may be our last."

"I could say a lot of things, with major descriptors and blah, blah, blah. So, to save all that, I give you one word:. RIGHTEOUS!!! They're going through some growing pains as I write this in December 2020, but I strongly advise you to be patient. And trust me, the food is worth the wait!!!",
"This is the best cheesesteak I have ever had! The wings are amazing, too. The portions are huge and the wait is definitely worth it! Will take pics to post next time we order.",

"I've been wanting to check this place out. It's a new local hot spot that sells out of food daily. You can order up to three days early which is your best bet to get a pick up slot near a meal time. The portions are insane. I don't even feel like I put a dent into this. Bring cash to avoid a 3% service charge. This is located in the same shopping center as hmart. Might be a challenge to get through on the phone but we'll worth the effort once in a while.",
"Curly's food is amazing and the portions are huge! They use to be a place that only locals knew about. Now that they have relocated, it's not uncommon for them to sell out of the daily special.\n\nFor those who have never ordered from here, everything is made fresh to order. They are not fast food. Sometimes the wait time for pick up can be long because of the volume of orders they recieve. Its first come first serve. Most people call in orders hours or days in advance. The phone lines can also get tied up depending on the time and date. Of course, orders can also be placed in person.\n\nThey offer daily specials. Meatloaf Mondays and Pot pie Thursdays are very popular. These tend to sell out before the end of the day. Definetly order in advance if you can. Daily specials are posted on their Facebook page. You can also check out their website for the regular menu.\n\nSo far I have tried the wings, burgers, cheesesteak, pizza, pretzel, crab cakes, nantucket fish fry, sheppards pie, pot pie, salads, meatloaf, brisket, italian pork sammy, calypso chicken, cuban sammy and more... it's all amazing!!!\n\nThey still have some kinks to work out, but I'm sure these are just growing pains. Even though their operation has expanded, the quality of the food is still outstanding.",
"First thing I want to say is you are paying for the portion size and quality! The food was great. This is not your typical fast food joint. It was more like a mix of fast food and restaurant quality food. You can tell the ingredients aren't your typical low end bulk purchases. The steak for the cheesesteak is a thin sliced sirloin chopped. Reminded me of Steve's Prince of Steaks! The cheese used for the fries is homemade and not your government low grade wiz. The fries are seasoned and have a nice crunch. The burger was flattened and fresh. The bacon seemed like a thick cut and not your heat in the microwave style. The wait is what it is. Call ahead and hope for the best, but the quality and prep you are getting seems to be worth it. Don't plan on just stopping in and picking up a quick bite......yet. I overheard a guest complain about the price and wait, but seemed like they had a fast food mentality. This is not that place! I hope they continue to add to the menu and maintain the good quality!",
"I would've given a higher rating, but, they are not a fast food joint. They have the best pizza steaks in Bucks, but, they are too slow on providing orders. Called at 4:30 and was told I wouldn't get my food until 9.",
"Ultimate Cheesesteak? Could very well be! If you have 2 roads leading to the ultimate cheesesteak. One road focuses on quality of ingredients and dining experience. The other road focuses on 'Size Matters.' Both roads respect the importance of each other. Curly's Creations is driving down the size matters road and could very well be the closest thing I've had to the ultimate cheesesteak. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle of BBQ sauce and then went to Italian People's Bakery. Chocolate pretzel is to die for!!",
"Glowing reviews makes it harder and harder to not trust Yelp anymore. Judging by the price and the wait to place an order I thought I found THE spot.\n\n$13 chicken cheesesteak didn't come with fries, $11 burger came with fries and cheese fries at $8. Plus a 3% charge on credit card transactions seemed petty. \n\nBurger was average. I liked the chicken cheesesteak. Plenty of meat and a solid roll but overpriced. The fries were below average and the homemade cheese sauce was underwhelming . \n\nAll in all it was disappointing. Average food in an average town. The staff was great and friendly but I won't be returning. Glad others like the food so much and are supporting them.",
"To be clear - this is NOT fast food. This is made to order comfort food that is fresh, delicious and with HUGE portions. The hush puppies are the best around, and the homemade wing sauces are outstanding. I have NEVER had a bad meal from here. Since they recently moved the wait times are long - but it is definitely worth it."

"Their Vietnamese drip iced latte was delicious!\nThe ube drip iced latte was also good, but it would be nice if I could taste the flavor of the Ube more.",
"Came in here for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Super friendly staff and great menu. I'm so glad that there is now an Asian-inspired cafe in Reno now. I got their Vietnamese drip latte iced and it was amazing! I also loved the ambiance of the shop, really warm and inviting. I also tried their Vietnamese noodle bowl and it was delicious! Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a nice cafe with good Asian food and drinks.",
"Visited today during my lunch break. Everything is fresh and drinks are really good. The owner is super sweet exceptional customer service. Found my morning coffee and breakfast stop. Thanks Sip of Saigon and welcome to Sparks!",
"Came in on a Saturday morning to try this place out with a friend. The owner was really friendly and offered us free chocolate croissant as we wait for our orders because my friend's order (ham and cheese croissant) was taking longer than usual. \n\nI ordered an Iced Ube Drip Latte and Shrimp spring rolls - WOW. I would definite order this again. I am a fan of 'Taro' (Ube) and the blend of their coffee with this is just right. Not too sweet, not too bitter! \n \nThe peanut sauce that came with the spring rolls also tasted good! It's sweeter than usual, but it works! \n\nI'm excited to come back again and try their other lattes. I just wish they would open before 8 am, and close later than 2:30PM as I would like to grab a drink before or after work hours. \n\nOther than that, I high recommend trying this place out!",
"Love at first sip \n\nStopped by after seeing some of my friends post about this new cafe and I had to try it for myself! \n\nI ordered their pork banh mi and the ube drip latte. Starting off with the banh mi, the bread was warm and crispy and the pork was well marinated. The banh mi itself had a little kick to it because of the jalapeños, but overall it was delicious and I would definitely order this again! The ube drip latte was good but I wish it was a little sweeter and I wish I could taste the ube a little bit more. I'm really not a coffee connoisseur but the overall quality of their coffee was great! Highly recommend checking them out!",
"Stopped in for a quick breakfast and tried the Pate Chaud pork and chicken breakfasts. Perfect snack size and delicious! Also had their salted caramel drip coffee and a green tea. Everything was great",
"My family and I saw the grand opening sign and figured we should try a new place. The menu is simple and to the point and we were blown away with what we received. It was so fresh and delicious! The owner was so lovely and made us a side salad free of charge and made us feel welcome. This is food you can feel good about eating!! We would recommend the spring rolls and bahn mi breakfast sandwich. Crisp and made to order. We will be going again to try something new very soon!",
"Grabbed some Sunday brunch from the NEW Sip of Saigon, the 198th restaurant in Sparks! It is an upcoming modern, Vietnamese cafe specializing in drip coffee, banh mi sandwiches, salads, and baked goods. \n\nWe started with a horchata drip late & ube drip latte. Both quite scrumptious and it was my first time having a ube drip!\n\nOur meal was shrimp spring rolls and split a Pork Banh Mi Sandwich! Both quite scrumptious! They just opened about two weeks ago so get down here and welcome them to our Sparks community!\n\n#SparksProud",
"Everything was absolutely wonderful. We had the Vietnamese tropical coconut drip latte, breakfast Bahn Mi and the Vietnamese sausage and egg toast bowl. Everything was beautifully prepared, perfectly cooked and delicious! They use sustainable packaging and the staff was super friendly. We will be visiting often!!! Highly recommend!!",
"I am happy to know we have a delicious coffee shop in SS that serves amazing pastries and other delicious bites. Every good coffee shops serves food. My favorite thing to get are their almond croissants. This shop is just as wholesome as the people serving you."

"WELCOME ASSEMBLY FOOD HALL!!\nI have watched the construction on this site, directly across from the Bridgestone Arena, for yearsssss..... and as mama always said, some things are worth the wait!\nI attended the Grand Opening today of many of the shops and restaurants and I am beyond excited. This offers our downtown visitors and locals so many options they have not had until this point. Fresh and local food choices all in one place .. that don't require a reservation.. and that aren't tied to a honkey tonk! The options are so much healthier too for this part of town. The space also has some very noteworthy out of town brands that fit in very nicely with the landscape they have created here.\nThey have made every effort to offer diverse offerings, while not sacrificing quality. I love that there are two bars in the middle of the space... because.. you are in Nashville, after all. \nI opted for some Pad Thai from Thai Essane, a poke bowl for my daughter, 6 donut box from Donut Distillery and a pizza to go from DeSano's. Nailed it. \nThis will be a great stop before and after shows at the Ryman, Bridgestone, Schermerhorn.. you name it. Never mind a spot to casually swing by and feed your needs.\nParking is paid. But there is a lot of it. I paid $6 for one hour and it was an easy elevator ride to the heart of it all.",
"This is a great food court with multiple food establishments all within a food hall inside the 2nd floor of the new and trendy 5th & Broadway. 5 & Broadway is exactly where it sounds like - it is at 5th & Broadway. Did I mention this was at 5th & Broadway? OK, I am stopping now. \n\nGetting back to it, if you want diverse options in dining, you'll definitely going to have your choice. They have a lot of the local haunts that Nashville already has established in town with 2nd and 3rd even 8th locations opening inside of here. Some of the likes of Esane Thai, DeSano's Pizza, Slim and Huskey's is on the 1st floor, Shake Shack, and Donut Distillery just to name a few.\n\nThey have a wine bar and a liquor bar that are open for business as well. Pick a seat and enjoy the people watching. That is what I did tonight along with getting some yummy food to-go. I was sent a coupon in the main worth $30 worth of free food, and I took full advantage. \n\nThis place is awesome and I am glad to see a new addition to downtown. I hate south Broadway, but I love 5th & Broadway.",
"This food area is not far from Broadway on the upper level of a new shopping area. There are so many great food and drink options to choose from. We had trouble deciding between poke and crepes. Ended up getting crepes and they were absolutely delicious. My daughter and I got the Oceane crepe and the Goat crepe and split them. So so good. Would definitely return to this food hall to try something else and even to have the crepes again. Plenty of seating and lots of staff working to clean them between customers.",
"I was walking around downtown after grabbing a bagel and I thought - I'm going to check out that food hall someone mentioned to me recently! I'm from Dallas originally, and the first thing I thought when I walked around Assembly Food Hall was \"I'm home in Dallas!\" It makes sense now that I've been to the food hall's website, since it was developed by a company that has a food hall in Plano (Legacy). It's definitely nice. They spared no expense. It's made to look old and industrial, but it's all new. The space has a lot of seating. Inside the food hall are a few eateries: Desano Pizzeria, Cotton & Snow (shaved ice and cotton candy), Donut Distillery, Nobaked Cookie Dough, Oke Poke, Thai Esane, Whisk Crepes Cafe,...(and those are just the ones we saw on this level/area). But a lot of these locations have other locations in Nashville, so Assembly Food Hall felt like it was more for tourists than for locals. The Food Hall is within the larger Fifth + Broadway that has some shops that are often available in malls - Free People, Ariat, Molly Green, Ray Ban, Sephora (not open yet), etc., and other restaurants/bars/coffeeshops (CAVA, Eddie V's, Hattie B's, Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, Shake Shack, Slim & Husky's,...). It's a great addition for tourists (and the few locals I know that go downtown with any frequency), because it offers a lot of new food options for anyone that is on or near Broadway. And it's great for these locally owned restaurants who can become better known to tourists that are downtown! But given its location (I've pretty successfully avoided Broadway in my five years in Nashville) and the fact that many of its restaurants have other city locations, it's not a food hall I would frequent. But definitely if you're downtown, whether as tourist or as a local walking around, it's worth checking out.",
"Very cool spot to take a break from the crowds, grab a drink or meal, and listen to some live music. Downtown Nashville has needed something like this for years, and I'm so glad it's finally here! I've been here a few times since they've opened and have tried the crepes, snowcones, Thai Esane, and Desano's. Everything has been delicious!! But my favorite thing about the food hall is that it's a great place to simply recharge and chat with your friends. \n\nThe live music was a major plus, and the band playing while we were there was excellent. They took requests and created such a fun energy for the space. My friends and I had no trouble finding a table, even on a busy Saturday afternoon, because there are so many tables, couches, and chairs available. Everything was perfectly clean and covid safe. \n\nI am so glad there is a place to sit back and sample so many of my favorite Nashville restaurants in the heart of downtown Nashville now.",
"Food hall was clean nutella crapes were very good doughnuts were exceellent we went 2 days in a row the firs ttime we had a fresh warm batch the next day they were cold bur still goood... thai food was overall terrible wouldnt feed my dog crab rangoons were frozen in the middle on 2 orders!!! And the chicken pad thai tasted like old sewage.... everyone in my family agreed it was abs disgusting!!!",
"Way too loud!\nThe food places looked great. The volume of the music would have been fine at half the decibels.\nYes..I'm over 60",
"What a great addition to downtown Nashville! Finally had a chance to come check it out and loved it so much. All the local faves in one easy and fast location. We had a Steam Boys bun for a starter and Smokin Chicken for dinner. Both were yummy! I had the peri peri spicy one and it was all over my hands and face - a sure sign it was bangin. The green beans were also so very good. Can't wait to come back and try some other places. Sat outside and listened to the music. A great option for both tourists and locals.",
"The Assembly Food Hall is located within the new Fifth and Broadway outdoor mall and shopping center in downtown Nashville. I was impressed by the assortment of food options here and there was plentiful seating options as well. We ended up settling on the Oke poke which was excellent, but there were several other places that looked great including DeSanos and the wine bar. This sort of establishment was exactly what downtown Nashville was missing. It was great as a lunch option and we enjoyed it so I will be back next time I am downtown.",
"All I can say is Wow! I've been waiting on Nashville to get a place like this for a while. I think this was a GREAT addition to downtown. There are so many different types of restaurants within this food hall that I could go crazy haha. This place also seems very family oriented, which is a nice addition. I can't wait to see the full potential of this place and the other restaurants that they will add here."

"This awesome spot just opened in my neighborhood. Delicious food! Tacos, bowls, burritos etc. All handmade and better that Chipotle. Fresher ingredients. Great atmosphere. Delicious fast service and healthy! We needed real Mexican food in the area and this place deliver.",
"My wife, daughter and I just had dinner here and it was delicious!\n\nWe were craving something new in the taco department and In N Out definitely measured up.\n\nThe shrimp in the shrimp tacos tasted very plump and fresh, which totally did it for me. I was actually surprised because that's usually the exact item where taco restaurants skimp a bit. It's like they figure \"there's an object resembling a shrimp in there--that's good enough\". I only bought one, in fact, for that very reason. I was expecting to be underwhelmed as per usual.\n\nAt In N Out Taco, as soon as you take a bite, it's as if the shrimps jump up and say \"HELLO! We're shrimp, but we're not shrimpy!\". It totally makes the taco.\n\nThe carne tacos were also excellent. The beef was extra tasty and yet the tacos were built in the classically simple style of a real Mexican taco. Basically beef, onion and cilantro (although I will admit, I was so eager to down these tacos that I didn't analyze the contents--but that's how it tasted). \n\nBy the way, make sure you get some of their chipotle ranch. It tasted very fresh and flavorful.\n\nMy wife had something unique: Carne Asada Fries. She and my daughter absolutely devoured it.\n\nThe staff there were great. They asked how we heard about the restaurant and made sure we had everything we could need or want there. \n\nOverall it was a top notch experience and we look forward to heading back over there soon!",
"Just had dinner for the first time at In N Out Taco. I'm 1/2 Mexican, so when I say this was really good Mexican food, believe me...I've had the best there is from my Great Grandmas home cooked meals. I usually get tacos at any Mexican restaurant I go to, but decided to try the Carne Asada fries. Sounded so good and was different, and I wasn't disappointed! The fries were crispy and fresh, the guacamole was really good, cheese and sour cream, and I added their homemade chipotle ranch which made it even more amazing!! Think Nachos, but with fries instead of chips. \n\nMy daughter loved her chicken tacos and hubby had one of each of their tacos. I judge a business by its people and they've done a really good job of staffing, Brian was super outgoing, helpful with suggestions on what to get, and just overall a nice guy. It goes a long way these days, it's rare, so when you get great customer service, you're almost willing to overlook other things just because they're nice people....Lucky for them, they have both...good service AND excellent food!!! We will definitely be coming back and bringing more friends!!! Thank you!!",
"Warning: If you are looking for authentic Mexican food please leave this page and look elsewhere. \nComing from a true an actual Mexican, this place does not pass the Mexican the test, horchata and arroz con leche (rice pudding) don't cut it. Also when I said \"arroz con leche\" they had no idea what I was talking about. \n\nBut all authenticity aside, if you are looking for fresh tasting food, this is it. I would come back just because their food tastes good and fresh. It's line food so you can make your burrito or bowl or tacos the way you want. It was a nice touch with the Jarritos, Tamarindo flavor is the best FYI. \nIt's a nice little to go place and I didn't take a pic of my food because it's just a big burrito, BIG BURRITO. that was a plus. \nIf you are going outside of busy lunch hours and after work hours then there's pretty much no line. \n(It's in the same building as the subway, I got lost at first)",
"This place is a diamond! We decided to try after another review made the place sound amazing.... and it is!!! The meals are reasonable priced and the portions are out of this world! Way too much food but amazing!! \n\n4 of us only order two meals and it was plenty of food. My husband and I shared the Carne asada fries... which are to die for! We added nacho cheese and had all the fixings! Kids shred a kids nacho and it was almost as much as our food! $20 goes a long way here! \n\nNew business and please give it a try.. definitely worth it.",
"In town visiting from Colorado and found this great new little spot! Service was great. Nice, bright and clean and Brian was really welcoming. Food was delicious! Simple fresh flavors. We had Shrimp Tacos and our family shared the Carne Asada fried and they didn't last long! Be sure to grab dinner here! The Greenwoods",
"A little hard to find if you don't know the area (the entrance is not on the street front, you get there via an alley) - but the food is quite good. \nI had the basic shrimp tacos and shared a side of guacamole and chips with my lunch partner. While the shrimp tacos were tasty, the star was the guac - nice, big chunks of avocado balanced out well with the strong flavor of lime juice.\nWhile there is some seating in the restaurant, it is clearly designed for a quick grab and go meal.",
"This place is amazing! We are vegetarians and ordered the plant based tacos and burrito which were both really great. High quality, fresh ingredients. The plant-based meat substitute was also really tasty and filling. We were just visiting the area but will definitely be back next time we visit. Highly recommend supporting this small local business!",
"We had the shrimp tacos and the carne tacos, and of course the carne asada fries. It was all really tasty and affordable, which is a nice combo right there. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's a small place, but obviously they have take out and were very busy. Food service was quick. Looking forward to going back!",
"Staff was pretty rude. Food was not great. Don't waste the time. Charged us the incorrect amount and didn't refund us the correct amount but didn't feel like arguing."

"The newest area North Italia is in a darling area of Franklin, surrounded by shops of all kinds, a wine bar, a yoga studio... everything for a suburban dream life. \nI was among the first to officially dine here, and it was perfection. All of the Italian goodness that you would expect, with some scrumptious culinary twists. Be sure to try the bruschetta with asparagus and prosciutto, the short rib pasta, and the Butter Cake. You're welcome. \nThe service was engaging. I felt like the staff was actually happy to be there! I know I was. \nThis location has the addition of an indoor/outdoor dining/bar space. Sure to be in high demand much of the year.",
"Fantastic food quality - the mushroom risotto balls are top notch. Great pizza, but more importantly outstanding service and ambiance. Highly recommend.",
"My fiancé and I had the opportunity to go to the soft opening. The whole experience was great! Very professional staff and our food was excellent! This is definitely going to be one our regular spots!",
"Best meal I've had in Franklin/Nashville. \n\nWent here on opening night and the service was both friendly and timely. \n\nThe cocktail I got was refreshing. \n\nThe bruschetta was AMAZING. \n\nThe margarita pizza is the best pizza I've found in this area. The wood fire crisp makes the pizza light, but filling at the same time. \n\nAnd the salted caramel dessert was the icing on the cake. \n\nThis entire meal was just over $45, which in my opinion for what I got and the quality of the food, is incredibly priced. \n\nWill definitely be coming here again and again.",
"A-MAZING! So good - great friendly service all the way around. This place opened yesterday - and none of the normal new opening issues. It's obvious they trained their people and are paying them well - because they are well staffed. Our server could describe every cocktail on the menu and was well versed on each entree. Delicious drink, apps and food. Service was over the top from the hostess at the front door to our server Erick. We enjoy grilled bread with olive oil, Arancini and 4 different entrees - and they did not disappoint. We had 2 managers visit our table to tell us our food would be out shortly - but honestly we were having such a good time - we weren't even thinking about it - they were more concerned than we were. I loved my scallops, my husband loved is pesto chicken and our son and daughter-in-law loved the chicken parm and strozzapreti. Beautiful restaurant and great ambiance. Highly recommend- we'll definitely return!",
"Love the atmosphere here.. I ordered the chicken Pesto with veggie pasta. If I were to order it again I would ask for just zucchini. I think that although the sweet potato is nutritious it was too aldente for my taste.",
"Just opened recently so I thought I'd give it a try. As it was being built I didn't realize it was a chain & there is another location in the Green Hills area. Fantastic space. Inside/outside bar area which is where a friend & I were finally able to get a seat. We started with the chef's board. Prosciutto & another salty thinly sliced meat. 2 kinds of cheese. Almonds & olives served with toast points & a fig jam. Tasty & light we enjoyed with a draft beer that was perfect with the perfect weather of Summer in TN. We ordered entrees & a bottle of Barolo. I had the short rib served with polenta & roasted vegetables. Excellent & so was the wine. The staff was friendly but you could tell they were only recently trained. This is an issue all restaurants are having right now. Please be patient while the industry restaffs & trains new hires. One of the bartenders accidentally sprained my friends leftovers while cleaning glassware but the manager comped it. Overall a pleasant experience.",
"The pre-opening of this new Franklin North Italia location was my first time at one of the restaurants and I was very pleasantly surprised! This particular restaurant is located in a convenient space in the Cool Springs area - with ample parking! It's a beautiful little restaurant with a great (albeit small) outdoor area. To start we got the white truffle garlic bread - which came highly recommended! It was incredible but a lot for just two people. It's so flavorful and delicious if you're a truffle fan. For my meal, I settled on the chicken pesto which was incredible! The capers added a nice little crunch and a different flavor to the entree. My Sauvignon blanc paired perfect with it - so smooth and buttery. For dessert, I got the Italian butter cake and it was DIVINE. I will be dreaming about that dessert, for sure! this is a great spot for a date, girl's dinner or just for a glass of wine and truffle bread at the bar.",
"We have been to other locations in California and we're looking forward to this location opening. We went for a late lunch. We ordered a Tito straight up vodka martini and when it arrived, it was served in a small martini glass, but the one thing I can't stand is when you can tell a drink has been diluted with too much ice or ice water in the shaker. This is the only drink I order in a restaurant and it's interesting that there is quite a difference from one restaurant to another. It's straight vodka so you can definitely notice the difference. Ordered a margarita pizza which was delish and the fresh vegetable salad with salmon was excellent. Also, not to nit pick, but no one from management came by and checked on us, even though the restaurant had maybe 4 other tables. New opening should have management checking on service and patrons. Pizza, 2 cocktails, salad with salmon, over $70 + tip. \n Sorry but we will not be returning.",
"Sooo good. We shared a bottle of Chianti, an order of calamari and the good bread / oil. All were delicious. Our entrees were also wonderful; the squid ink and the short rib cavatelli. Both were also delicious. The service was great; the decor beautifully done. The bar looks amazing. Can't wait to go back."

"By far this is my favorite hotel and it is really quite saddening that is has been in the process of being remodeled over the last few years. The El Encanto is Santa Barbara's oldest hotel built in 1913. It may be time for a face lift but in its closure it is greatly missed. Luckily the company that purchased the property, Orient-Express Hotel chain, is at least attempting to restore the hotel to its original dignity. Instead of the usual hotel layout, the El Encanto is made up of many Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival cottages with lily ponds, gardens, panoramic views of the ocean and downtown Santa Barbara scattered in between. Hopefully the reopening will be sometime this year; the unfortunate part is the rates are said to be triple the amount they were in the past. An overnight stay is said to be starting around $650 for the standard room. This is quite a jump since before the same room would go for a little under $200 a night which was an absolutely fabulous deal. Regardless this is a gorgeous property and if anything it should continued to be appreciated for its history and beauty even if it may only be enjoyed with a glass of wine at the bar.",
"thanks to the other reviewer (Martin?) for posting the info on this hotel. I stayed here in early 2006, I think, and have never forgotten how beautiful the grounds were and what a deal the room was with its own patio, etc. I have been pulling my hair out looking for it on the Internet, as I'd forgotten the name, but now at least, I can stop trying to revive the past (hee hee) and look for something new... Yet ANOTHER reason to love the resourcefulness of YELP!",
"Stayed here a couple years ago. Price was good, but the cleaning people pulled the ole' trick where they set the clock-radio alarm to go off at 7:30 AM, and then you get woken up and have to figure out how to turn it off. The goal is that you won't be able to go back to sleep and get up earlier, and thus be out sooner. They can thus clean your room quicker and finish their shift sooner. I've seen this in other hotels too.\n\nSecondly, there was a wedding there, so there I was wanting quiet, and nearby were drunk people doing endless toasts accompanied by drunk-laughing.\n\nThe cabins were cool though. That was really nice: California craftsman. And as I remember, only about 200 dollars a night, a lot for me, but good for the price. This was before the remodel however.",
"My husband and daughter took me there for my birthday. I am vegetarian and there was no menu online so I knew I was taking a chance. But I was very disappointed by the lunch menu--every single item was contaminated with chicken broth or bacon fat in the salad dressing. The chef was not comfortable with substitutions so I settled for the frisee salad without the bacon and bacon fat dressing-- they did substitute the dressing with a balsamic vinaigrette--not worth the high price. My husband and daughter got the panini and stuffed chicken respectively. The portions were small and they gave their food a B grade. They did give me a delicious floating island birthday dessert on the house. The view was fine but we are locals so it was not worth the price. We will not be going there for a meal again.",
"My husband and I just returned from a wonderful weekend at the new El Encanto in Santa Barbara and what a glorious celebration it was. This is as magnificent a property as we have been to anywhere in the world.\n\nThis was not a remodel. It was a rejuvenation . Every inch of the property is incredible, well thought out and very well staffed. \n\nWe had beautiful meals on the terrace and in the Dining Room and we were treated so professionally with friendly service. The Spa services were first rate. \n\nOur suite was so lovely - I took pictures everywhere I went, inside and out\n\nLoved sitting in the lounge after dinner, listening to music. We even snuck in a few dances to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary! \n\nWe will definitely return",
"The return of the El Encanto was so highly anticipated that a Chef from its original days offered an homage by serving the famous floating island dessert it's opening week. The new hotel and restaurant is the modernized version of the classic that it once was. Updated and sleek, the restaurant does not disappoint. The menu is creative, thoughtful and inspired. I had a lovely spring salad with a perfect poached egg that's richness was the perfect counterpoint to the tang of the mustard vinaigrette. It was playfully adorned with delicate spring flowers. Then the burger- it's perfect crust and buttery center are exactly what a burger should be. The meal was rounded out by a strawberry panna cotta with Yuzu sorbet. It was creamy and tart sweet. It was served with a rice crispy treat that was unexpected and shows that the Chef does not take himself too seriously. \nAll in all a great experience and I cannot wait to go back!!!",
"I thought Santa Barbara could not get any better until I came here! \n\nThe views from around the beautiful property are stunning. The room exceeded my expectations and probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Writing this review reminds me to call and ask for the brand of their mattress!\n\nI work in a Customer Service role and have VERY high expectations so I'm happy to say they were met and then some. \n\nCan't wait to come back again! Thanks for everything El Encanto!",
"After traveling with my family for years to Santa Barbara, it has always been a treat to visit as an adult and enjoy the charm, beauty, and laid back lifestyle of Santa Barbara. When I heard that El Encanto was being remodeled, I had my hesitations about going, but after arriving at the valet, everything only got better as the night progressed. \n\nDinner was perfectly paced after a brief stint in the bar for a crisp, refreshing vesper martini scrupulously crafted by the bartender. Our waiter seemed to check in just often enough for us to have refills on drinks and water without rushing us to finish our meal. Our food was cooked to perfection and the quality of the meal was worth every penny, as it wasn't just about the food or drinks, but the overall experience that El Encanto provided. \n\nMy fiancée and I have been raving about EL Encanto all week to our friends and we have already planned our next Santa Barbara trip with reservations for dinner and a stay at the gorgeously remodeled resort. It's such a wonderful weekend or even day trip from our fun, but busy LA lives.",
"What a charming experience! My girlfriend and I decided to head up to Santa Barbara for the weekend without a place to stay. We arrived late at night, 10pm, and were frantic in finding a place to stay. The El Encanto Hotel was a diamond in the rough! Just minutes from downtown, nestled in the hills - this Spanish style oasis had all amenities one desires. The views are stunning, staff friendly and hotel bar a great place to relax for a cocktail after a day on the beach. I will DEFINITELY be back.",
"I recently returned back to Los Angeles from a getaway weekend with a few girlfriends. We chose to stay at the newly reopened El Encanto Hotel and Villas and we were blown away with how wonderful the experience was! We had all been looking forward to a relaxing getaway from the craziness of Los Angeles and we couldn't have asked for better accommodations, service, food, and an overall wonderful time. Our bungalow was absolutely perfect and we enjoyed hanging out in the stunning garden and just taking it easy and reading by the pool. I couldn't get over the breathtaking views and we actually ate at the restaurant twice! It was the perfect combination of luxury and peacefulness that we had been looking for. I rarely write reviews but we had such a special and unique experience during our stay at El Encanto that I feel it is my obligation to share this little gem with the rest of the world. You won't regret it!"

"This place was recommended to me by my cousin who attended UCSB years ago. She said that this was a great fish place. Maybe it was back then, but this place was mediocre at best. The food was only an okay. My brother had a fish that was pretty dry and didn't have much flavour. I had a double chicken breast that was passable. I guess you can't mess up chicken breasts though. I will say that the house wine was pretty good. I would recommend to try out some of the wines from the area. \n\nSo, if you're in Santa Barbara, I say pass on this place.",
"This was the highlight of our family's trip to LA. The food was very good, they offered reservationless quick seat, and a fun, family friendly atmosphere. We all liked our food. My ahi sandwich was quite memorable.",
"It's a hit or miss for this place. I've been several times--for group parties, for dinner, for happy hour and it really depends on when you go as to the service you will receive. There was one time when my table was basically ignored (I'm guessing it's because we went later in the night) and another time when we received EXCELLENT service. Overall, the management knows what they're doing with regards to customer service, but a few of the servers probably need to be re-evaluated.",
"Wanted to grab some lunch before I left Santa Barbara. Actually, wanted to grab some lunch AND get a massage before I left Santa Barbara :)\n\nSo, I decided to go to Enterprise Fish Company, since I hadn't really had any seafood while being here. I opentabled it right away. \n\nFinding this place was a little bit of a mystery. I knew it was BEFORE going under the 101 going north from the wharf, but I wasn't sure on which side, and it's a pretty busy area with cars going pretty fast and wide roads... so, I turned left, but then found myself going into the Amtrak parking lot... which wasn't right... and then I kind of just wandered around, and then found the parking lot for the restaurant. I got lucky.\n\nThe building was fun. The interior was funner. I fully enjoyed the atmosphere, and was glad that they had wireless internet in the restaurant. Eating alone is my least favorite thing to do, so instead of looking like a dork, I opened up my laptop and got busy with that instead.\n\nI ordered two appetizers and a cup of soup, thinking that it would be enough for one person. \n\nThe Tuna Tartare was pretty, but just okay.\n\nThe half-dozen fresh oysters were okay... I've had better, but it satisfied me.\n\nThe Lobster Bisque was nice - I always like some soup to go with my meal.\n\nBut my tab came to a gawking $36.42 for one person :P And I still have to add tip :P But my server Kevin was great, was such a heartthrob, and came to check on me to make sure everything was all right. Awwww :P",
"This place is pretty mediocre. Last time I ordered the grilled Salmon I could taste the gas from their grill it was not good at all. Some of the best grilled salmon is at the Brew House around the corner on Montecito street or go all out and head over to Blue Agave. If you're on a budget and want a fast lunch then give Enterprise Fish a try but you can probably find better seafood if you try.",
"Keep walking... almost all the way to the end... of State street...\nIt really was not that bad of a walk... it was more of a struggle making it through the street with all the people and confetti ...\nIt was the annual \"fiesta\" in Santa Barbara...\n\nI have never seen people crack hallowed eggs filled with confetti on other people's heads... I even got \"smashed\".... what the heck???\n\nAs for the restaurant...\nThe atmosphere is fun and inviting...\nand the food was very good...\nWe had the \nCoconut crusted sea bass\nand\nTrufflle mahi mahi\nDelicious fish and good beer!!!\nA dream come true for a man who loves seafood...\n\nMemorable rating: 4 out of 5 (When in the area, I will come back... but i wont be dreaming of it)\n\nenough said...",
"Not the best ambiance for the prices, per se... loud... casual... but decent fish. \n\nMy martini had too much vermouth.\n\nOysters were good...but really, how hard is that? \n\nSalmon filet was good... \"potatoes romano\" were overcooked.... (mashed potatoes with romano cheese).... \n\nThe biggest PITA though was that this place is hard to get to. You kinda drive in to a parking lot and go \"huh?\" \"Where is it?\" \"maybe it's around here?\"... and eventually you get there. Not fun. \n\nDon't think I'd go out of my way to dine here again.",
"The restaurant is good. We've eaten there a couple times and had great food. The open kitchen is cool and the seafood is very fresh. I really dig the bar there. They have great microbrews from all over the west and have a huge selection of oysters.",
"We enjoying there with out little kids. They are accommodating with the strange requests we need to make such as splitting meals, substitutions etc. The big fish tank is a distraction when they get antsy and the menu is interesting enough with sufficient variety to keep the adults' attention. A bit pricy but good choices from healthy, grilled to rich such as the lobster bisque and ravioli with lobster cream sauce. They get crowded for dinner so make reservations and expect an extra wait on top of whatever they tell you when they give you your pager.",
"One of the best Lobster Bisque I ever had! It was not too salty and it came out topped with a puff pastry. I would had eaten 2 more bowls but I had to save room for the Costa Rican Mahi Mahi. The fish was fresh but it was a little too salty for me. The side of potato Romano was to die for! I have to say i was impressed with this restaurant.\n\nThe location was a little confusing. We had to go into the bus parking lot and exit out in the back to get to the restaurant parking. The location was out of the way from all the shops and people which was nice. This is not a place to go if your going for the scene. Over all the service was great and the Lobster Bisque was amazing!!"

"I finally went into this place during the weekend to try them out. I've driven by this place almost everyday so figured it's about time.\n\nThis is a small place, nothing too fancy except their menu. I think there's over 100 items on lunch menu. Their menu have cold/hot hoagies, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, salads and of course cheesesteaks. \n\nSince it was my first time, I just asked them what they suggest and I got the cheesesteak all the way. They made it pretty quick but I didn't get to eat it until about 20-30 minutes later because we took them to the Rays game. The sandwich tasted awesome, and this was with it slightly cooled down. The cheese, meat, mushrooms, onions and peppers went together perfectly. Now, I never had a cheesesteak from Geno or Pat's up in Philly, but this one is probably the best I've had so far.\n\nEither way, the sandwich was great. I know people around me at the Rays game was eyeing it while we were eating. :D",
"This is a great place for cheesesteak: perfect ratio of meat and cheese to bread. I think you'd have to go to Philly to get something better or more authentic.",
"As I moved to Tampa, I asked my roommate if there were any good restaurants in the area, and the first place he recommended was Philly Phlava.\n\nNow I love a cheesesteak. Its one of the many reasons why Subs on the Run is a necessity in Miami. But now I needed a place in Tampa and Philly Phlava is it.\n\nAs you enter, the site of Philadelphia memorabilia covers all the walls, as well it should. Before you even get to the counter there is a case of Herr's chips (a Pennsylvania staple, if The Office is any indication) as well as a Wava Coffee display and a case of Hank's gourmet soda (with cane sugar SCORE!).\n\nBut let's be honest - I came there for the cheesesteak. And it was great. It automatically comes as the works: cheese, onions, mayo, lettuce, salt and pepper. It was a great sammich, and I can easily foresee weekly trips back. As you bite in, the right flavoring of all the ingredients hits you and you savor the meaty-cheesy goodness.",
"Fresh bread makes the difference. The cheesesteaks are quite like Philly, but let's be honest.....how hard could it be? Fry meat and onions, add cheese. Salt to taste.\n\nThey close at 6 on Sunday so we had to visit for lunch on Monday. It was a good choice.",
"I am a fan. This is about the closest thing I've found to the real deal in Philly. They have the real rolls but no wiz as of yet. I'd recommend this spot for sure.",
"The best cheese steak you will ever have without being in Philly. Tasty Cakes are hard to come by outside of Pennsylvania.",
"You know those places you just have to keep coming back to because the flavors are so perfect that there's no way you could replicate it at home? Well, this isn't one of those places- and I hate to say that about a local business, but it's true. \n\nThe cheesesteak, while REALLY tasty, was something I could easily make at home with similar results. There really wasn't anything special about it. \n\nNot to mention, the guy who took my order was not friendly at all. He didn't greet me, and when I ordered he just grunted my order back to the cook, took my money, and literally slammed it on top of the register. \n\nAlso: Tastykakes. I don't get it. It's a super processed pie with a mediocre crust and a gooey high fructose corn syrup filling dotted with fruit. What am I missing??\n\nAnywho, I'd be willing to go back if I had a serious hankering for a PCS, but not any time soon.",
"Found Philly Phlava on Yelp, looking for somewhere to grab a bite on our way to the airport. Thanks Yelp community for another winner! The cheese steaks were delicious and one of my crew got the chicken parm and thought it was also very tasty. Not bad at all considering we were in Tampa, not Philly. Reasonable prices, quick service and good food. Go, try it, and don't let the quirky name throw you off.",
"I was just trying to decide on dinner tonight and remembered philly Phlava, thank goodness I've still got some working brain cells.\nGood Stuff!!",
"Philly flavor at it's best in Tampa. Genuine Philly Cheesesteaks and hoagies...rolls flown in from Philly as well. Tremendous!"

"Excellent Lunch Buffet!! This satellite of India Palace near the airport is a great addition to downtown. Indian buffets can be a crap shoot -- literally. But this one is a winner. Don't expect much in terms of ambiance, but service is friendly and the quality of the food is quite good. Selection was a good mix of the standards and some more adventurous dishes. Where else can you get goat for lunch in St Louis?",
"Update your hours on your website. I can't review your food because when I went you were closed. You say you are open 7 days a week for lunch.",
"Just like the other reviewer, I checked their website and Yelp also and headed downtown to eat dinner at 4:30. They were not open, and I called to ask whether they were opening up for dinner. The front door says, lunch only, 11:30-2. Apparently, the hours listed here on yelp are incorrect, and they don't open until 5pm. The person on the phone told me I was wrong and that their dinner hours were listed on their website - they are NOT. In fact, as of last week, NO dinner hours were listed on their website, but the website does mention 'dinner' several times, but gives no hours. I love India Palance NOCO and was trying to try the 2 person dinner special. I instead found myself stuck downtown before prime dinner hours with a meter full of coins and had to find someplace to eat.",
"Delicious lunch buffet! Nice to see they are open in the evenings soon. Tandoori chicken was fantastic.",
"Their lunch buffets are very good, especially for the money. It is an excellent place to get meet up with friends who work in the downtown St. Louis area. The food is high in quality overall and having been there many times, never had a complaint about this restaurant. I would recommend it.",
"Last night a female co-worker and I (a male) decided to try India Palace for dinner. The food itself was some of the best Indian I've ever eaten. (I tend to eat Indian often 4-6 times per month) However, the service was deplorable. The waiter, though nice to me, refused to acknowledge my friend, most likely because she was a woman. For example, when we sat down the waiter asked if I wanted something to drink, but then completely ignored my friend and started to walk off without taking her drink order. Then, when the waiter came back to ask how the food was, he looked directly at me and asked me and when my friend mentioned that the food was good he refused to look at her and just walked away. Finally when it came time for dessert, he asked if I wanted any dessert and when I said no, he turned and walked away even though my friend wanted some. This is utterly unacceptable and I will never be going back.",
"Good for a quick lunch, but I would argue the buffet isn't as good as Mr. Curry's. Very clean inside and always full, but not crowded.",
"Finally...an Indian restaurant that's open for dinner in downtown St. Louis! My long wait has come to an end. Open Monday to Saturday for dinner from 5-9:30pm, India Palace is my new favorite for takeaway. They also have a lunch buffet from 11:30-2:30, but this review is for my two carryout orders in the last few weeks. I've sampled a variety of dishes and all have been good so far. \n\nThe vegetable samosa appetizer for $3.50 comes with two delicious deep fried triangular stuffed pastries. Samosas are a standard for any Indian restaurant, and these didn't disappoint. \n\nThe goat curry for $14.95 consisted of tender and juicy chunks of goat meat in a flavorful sauce. As with most goat dishes, beware of the bones. It's had to find such tender goat meat, but bones are almost always a given. \n\n I've tried the Chicken Vindaloo ($12.95) in medium and hot version, but I recommend going with the medium. It can be hard to find a truly good Vindaloo that balances spice with flavor, and this one successfully accomplished it. It's probably the best Vindaloo I've had outside of India. \n\nChanna Masala ($11.95) has always been one of my favorite Indian dishes, and again India Palace didn't disappoint. You can really see and taste the difference in the freshness of the chickpeas cooked in a flavorful masala sauce. \n\nThe Navratan Korma ($12.95) mixed vegetarian dish was also excellent and popular with my friends who prefer the mild and creamy sauce. Korma's aren't meant to be overly spicy, but they are delicouis. \n\nIf you're looking to avoid the saucy dishes, I'd recommend going with the chicken tandoori for $12.95. I only got a small sample of this, but the mild spices and roasted tandoori flavors were excellent. The Aloo Goby ($11.95) or spicy cauliflower and potatoes are also delicious and don't come smothered in sauce.\n\nRandom notes: Almost all of these dishes came with a side of basmati rice included in the price. My to-go orders took about 30 minutes, so be sure to call ahead. The atmosphere isn't much to be desired, but the food is worth it. I'm hopeful that this place with be able to sustain the dinner hours. 4 stars for excellent Indian food!",
"I'm a huge fan of the airport location but, although the menu at this location is pretty much identical, the food is not. I've been several times to the buffet and have also gone for dinner. If this location could deliver food close to that of the original, I would go all the time.",
"Great food.I go to this place almost every week now . Quality is awesome and is better than any other indian restaurant in stlouis.nice indian beers for dinner heyward 5000 was great."

"Ate here a few months ago for a late brunch. We left astonished. It was hands down the worst food I can remember being served.\n\nI ordered an omelet with onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and cheese. It seemed like a safe bet, but the mushrooms were slimy and metallic tasting, obviously dumped right out of a can. In fact all of the vegetables seemed like they came right out of cans. The cheese was a slice of Kraft processed swiss melted on top. And the toast wasn't even toasted. It was warmed white bread, still completely white and soft, spread with margarine. \n\nMy boyfriend had a grilled cheese. It was also inedible. The Trolley house idea of a grilled cheese is a half inch thick slab of Velveeta partially melted between some bread. \n\nThe service did not leave as much of an impression as the food, though I seem to remember waiting several minutes for a bottle of ketchup, only to grab one off another table ourselves. \n\nAvoid at all cost.",
"The Trolley House serves mediocre food at around ten bucks a plate.\n\nWhen they stopped taking credit cards and put a high fee based ATM in the middle of the restaurant, I could see they were more interested in making money than convenience for customers.\n\nThe food has been going down in quality for several years.\n\nAddendum: They started taking credit cards later this year.",
"EGGS BENEDICT. \n\nI love EB, and I have been on a personal journey to find the best in Boise. \n\nBut first the overall:\nThis is a local place that's been serving great down-home meals for decades. It's one of those hole-in-the-wall spots that just fits me. Breakfast is about ten bucks a person, and the service is about standard. If you're a Goldy's follower and want the fancy twists and unique add-ons, this isn't your spot. But if you're into a great diner with big portions and nice folks, head on down. I've seen Mayor Beiter here, and several other local \"Old Boise Celebrities,\" so keep your eyes open. Also, on a nice day, they've got a great outdoor patio that surprisingly doesn't get much road noise and makes a great spot to take an out-of-towner. \n\nThe only downer is that it's cash/check only. No cards, which kinda sucks. But in my opinion that's not enough to drop a star. \n\nNow, the Eggs Benedict. I don't look at a menu at this place anymore for breakfast, because it's all I eat here. It isn't fancy, and it isn't garnished, but it's good. Very good. Better in my opinion than any place else in Boise. Now, I'm open to hearing about other spots, but so far, The Trolley is the stuff. Get it with hashed browns, and some toast and it'll not leave you wanting. \n\nAs my wife says, \"They feed you lke you just got outta prison.\"",
"The Trolley House sounds like a quaint throwback to the \"olde\" years and walking in, one notices the proprietors have tried to put that in your head with pictures of your great-grandparents' friends' wedding photographs and newspaper clippings from double U, double U two.\n\nThat's just about where the charm ends and the slight uneasiness begins--train-hopping hoboes will feel at home. The food is moderately edible, but stay away from the coffee unless brown food-flavoring is to your taste.\n\nBuoyed (and distracted) by listening to a Christopher Hitchens audiobook memoir, I finished my plate of the \"special\", eggs and hash only to be informed by the waitress that they no longer accepted cards of any sort for payment, but oh so helpfully, there was a $2-fee grubbing ATM just nearby! OK, I understand: going for the retro feel, but really, who doesn't accept cards in 2010?\n\nLast time here, and good fare thee well.",
"good breakfast food (gigantic pancakes), but its not goldy's or even bardennay's brunch.\n\nthe pancakes are pretty good (strawberry or blueberry additions), and i dont think i could finish a single pancake unless I starved myself for a week.\n\npoints off for not accepting CC/debit cards, I can understand from a profit margin point of view, but at least have CC/debit cards with a min $15 purchase pr something.\n\nit's good once, but i dont think i would be a regular.",
"Love the atmosphere here and it's located in a great part of town. Their bacon is delicious (always crispy!) and their coffee is fantastic. It does get a bit busy, and they don't take credit cards, which we've forgotten occasionally and then had to use the high-fee atm. Still, The Trolley House is a great, cozy place for breakfast!",
"Mediocracy at it's best here at the ole Trolley House. Great location but it wasted by the mediocre food. Get a chef who can cook a good breakfast for goodness sakes.",
"The food here is AMAZING! I've only been for breakfast, but I've tried many of their menu items. This is our GO-TO breakfast place when out-of-town guests come to visit. Small inside, so it can get loud, and the service can lag, but the amazing food and HUGE portions more than make up for it. Beautiful patio for summer eating. Victoria (owner) is so sweet when we see her. \nSeriously-best \"home-cooked\" breakfasts!\n\nCash or check only, but they do have an ATM.",
"Well, first thing to know is the Trolly House doesn't accept cards. They do have a (regularly faulty) ATM right in the middle of the place, though. Today was a faulty day: we had to go next door to the convenience store and get cash so we could be sure to be able to pay. \n\nDuring our meal, we observed one family scramble to gather enough bills and change to pay for the meal they'd already eaten. The next three panicked when they walked in the door and remembered the place is cash/check only. (Parents with hungry children fishing in their wallets and purses to see what they can gather between them is NOT a pretty sight.) \n\nIt seems to me a few percentage points is NOT worth the tension customers experience when they realize this place doesn't take cards. Especially with innovative options like Square or Intuit's version - which cater specifically to small businesses.\n\nAnyhow, the payment experience and panic all happened before we could even order (there are no signs on the door informing walk-ins that this place is cash only...you don't know until you have a menu and coffee in front of you). \n\nNeedless to say, we were really looking forward to the promised \"delicious food and generous portions\" from a long-time family-owned restaurant. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that great. Pre-cut, processed hash browns. Home fries without the promised sautéed onions (also clearly pre-frozen and processed) . Greasy scrambled eggs. An upcharge for fresh fruit that they then forgot to bring out. Missing toast. Poor presentation. Etc...\n\nThe staff was friendly, and the space is cute - with an old-fashioned cafe flair. I'm just not sure those two things can make up for an unfortunate customer experience and middle-of-the-road food. We're super disappointed, too, because we drive by this place often and were really excited to try it.",
"At just two blocks away, The Trolley House would be a great place to wander to on a lazy weekend morning but it is not...\n\nI can get over the fact that they don't accept debit or credit cards. I can even get over the $2 fee at their on-site ATM. What I find absolutely unacceptable is the poor customer service. \n\nAnd sadly, the worst offender is the owner. You don't ask \"are you ready yet\" while someone is clearly still reading over the available selections. You don't allow your employees to discuss their wild Saturday night while patrons are enjoying their Sunday morning. \n\nI like to give credit where credit is due and there is one server who does a great job but it doesn't quite make up for the rest if the staff."

"Best dim sum I had in Philly (not as good as some of the places in NY though). \nWe go there often and enjoy the Dim Sum and the regular menu. \nThe pork Shumai is great as are the other steamed dumplings. If you feel adventurous the chicken feet are nice also. \nService is as good as it is going to be in a dim sum place. They are definitely nicer than imperial inn and. Some servers try, some not so much.\nThey have Dim Sum every day from 10-3 - discounted during the week, full price on weekends.\nThe regular menu is also good - we love the Peking duck, fluffy crapes and crispy skin. Very good hot and sour soup.",
"Excellent dim sum and an attractive interior makes this my new default, although service ran hot and cold on my first visit. I will definitely be back.\n\nWokano is another reason to believe that Philly's Little Asia is leaving Chinatown and heading to South Philly. It anchors an Asian shopping mall, and a banner outside claims dim sum every day; another Yelper says that's 10-3 with discounts during the week, but I did not confirm that.\n\nAside from all my favorites and standards, I did see a few new (nameless) things go by. They seemed to be pushing their dumpling soup, but I didn't try it. Everything I had was good to excellent. Oh, steamed pork buns, how I love thee! Theirs were smaller that usual which turns out to be a good thing for meat-to-bun ratio and mouth accessibility.\n\nThe building has been recycled a few times, and there's only so much you can do with standard commercial construction. That said, the interior has some very nice touches, especially along interior walls and in the bar/cashier area. Hopefully they'll do something about the dropped ceiling which always subtracts big from decor.\n\nThe only drawback was uneven service. Busy but not full, they seated us immediately. We were barraged with carts in the first 15 minutes, so much so that we had to say no to just get through what we had. However carts were scarce after that. I'm not sure if this was just a matter of timing or a crowd control strategy.\n\nOverall, I'd say this is currently Philly's best dim sum. I used to like a place a few blocks down on Washington Avenue, the place with the giant fake plastic columns outside, but I've heard it's gone downhill. We'll see how long Wokano can stay on top.",
"maybe i went on the wrong day?\nthe food was not bad\nbut it was NOT GOOD\ni had a disgusting heavy feeling at the pit of my stomach all day\n\ni'm going back to chinatown for my dim sum.",
"Went there for an early dinner - had a hot pot and some fried rice. Staff was attentive, food was very good, and the dining experience was pleasant. Prices were moderate; it's not super cheap eats, but you get a tablecloth and and actual dinnerware, so it works out.\n\nI would definitely stop back; looking forward to trying the everyday dim sum.",
"Mediocre at best. I was hoping for some more authentic asian food while in Philly, and the bf was craving dim sum like no other. We went the wrong way to go to Chinatown and ended up here, and we had no time to backtrack so we just decided on this place since there was in fact a big sign that said\" DIM SUM-EVERY DAY\".\n\nMeh is all I can say to describe this place. It was spacious and all but the food was not spectacular in the least. All the usual items I order were just ..ok. And super greasy. It wasn't even satisfying after a night out at various dive bars.\n\nI'm sure Philly has way better options than this.",
"Since this restaurant has changed owners and names so many times we were hesitant to try, but try we did. It was a Sunday morning the first time we visited. We had intended on going to Chinatown for dim sum, but it was so busy and the parking was horrendous we figured we'd give this place a try. It wasn't bad ! A little pricier then Chinatown, but the convenience and quality of food made it well worth it. We've been back a few more times for dim sum, but decided last weekend to try the dinner menu. DELICIOUS. I know I gave Thai Lake a great review , but I have to say this place will give Thai Lake a run for their money ! The space is huge, so your not all crammed into one table w/ no elbow room ( a problem when your stuck between my husband and brother ! ) The utensils were clean, and most importantly the bathrooms were clean ! The staff during dim sum was not so great, but for dinner they were attentive and responsive . I like to toss it up sometime and pretend I don't understand or speak and Chinese on occasions, and normally this is not accepted well at other Chinese restaurants, but this staff rolled with the punches. Polite, and even shared in a few jokes with my family. As far as the food. We ordered a wide variety, but my favorite was the fried whole fish, their triple delite medley ( stuffed peppers, tofu and eggplant in a black bean sauce ) YUM, and they knocked the sweet and sour pork ribs out of the park.",
"I love dim sum at Wokano. They have consistently been nailing it every weekend for me. I love their congee, which sometimes saves my hungover soul on a Sunday morning after the Saturday night before. They have carts and friendly staff and the good stuff just keeps rolling by. Don't worry if you don't know the names - point and order away! I have given some of the names below, just in case. \n\nNot to miss: \n\nHar gau (translucent shrimp dumpling) - these are see-through and contain a whole shrimp. They are very delicate at Wokano and these are difficult to make - a real testament to the skills back in the kitchen. \n\nCheung Fung (rice noodle rolls) - the long white noodle burritos stuffed with shrimp or beef. Both are great. \n\nThe siu mai (pork) are tasty (these are the basket-shaped dumplings). \n\nWu gock (or taro dumplings) - like a delicious deep-fried mashed potato. \n\nFried squid or fried little fish - excellent. \n\nFish balls are delicious. I have not tried the beef balls. \n\nLo Mai Gai (sticky rice and meats wrapped in a lotus leaf) - has a special little surprise sausage in each neatly wrapped package. \n\nChar siu (those white puffy \"bread\" (actually rice flour) balls stuffed with BBQ pork) - I am not a huge fan, but Wokano's are light and not gummy and the meat is delicious. \n\nI love the Mala go - the steamed yellow cake and they also make nice egg tarts. \n\nI have tried a lot of dim sum items here and have always had good food, which is not greasy. Everyone who works at Wokano is really friendly and helpful - sometimes they try to push some items, though. If you don't want something, they are never offended. \n\nI love dim sum here and highly recommend it. \n\nI am sure someone else can give a more exhaustive and accurate list - my advice is to try whatever looks good to you!",
"Not really sure why we stopped here but I was disappointed. It has a nice big dining area but the service is just horrible. I didn't expect to be waited on hand and foot but this was our service for the evening:\n\nWe come in, are seated right away (almost empty). Gave us a teapot of tea and some peanuts. Good so far.\n\nWe browse the menu and make our pick. I asked a question and the lady server basically yells, \"what???\" with a really irritated tone. I repeat myself and she says, \"no.\" No explanation, no suggestion of another dish, nothing. OK, I know the whole language barrier thing first hand but that isn't an excuse to lack customer service or be rude. \n\nOK so the BF asks about the Fujian fried rice and asks if there is chicken, to not put any chicken. We ask if there is other meat besides chicken. Lady says, \"no.\" I order the bitter melon with garlic sauce.\n\nBitter melon with garlic sauce comes out. No rice. We wait 15 minutes before the fried rice comes out. There is meat in it. We ask the server, \"We ordered this with no chicken\". She says, \"There is no chicken.\" We pick up some chunks of poultry and ask, \"then what is this?\" \"That's duck.\"\n\nWTF? /sigh/",
"The sweet and sour pork is so good here that I bought a pregnancy test because I was craving it 2-3x per week. This place is a few blocks from home, so I stopped in without reading any review. The scallops with black bean sauce, steamed shrimp dumplings, and fried dumplings (pork, I think) are other dishes I've tried that are all delicious. Staff is friendly too. I may be ordering from yelper Juli M.'s \"Not to miss\" list next time.",
"I'd 5 stars because this is \"as good as it gets\" for being average dim sum with GREAT selection, ease of parking, average prices; however, come for late dim sum (like after 1pm) and your custom order might not quite get to you (see below)\n\nIt offers Chinatown dim sum with a fantastic selection - I love that they have carts regularly going around with chuong fun (with beef, shrimp, or the crunchy asian cruellers) in addition to the large selection of dumplings, siu mai (shrimp and nonshrimp/meat+veg/peanuts), ha guo, spicy and regular/red/sweet chicken feet, taro and turnip fried cakes, great congee selections, buns, etc, etc, etc. Even the places in Chinatown doesn't usually offer such an extensive selection!\n\nOne thing to remember though, if you come late for dim sum like 1pm-ish, you may have to wait on your selection because they don't necessarily keep the carts fully stocked. Although the wait staff is really polite and friendly & will be more than willing to make radio the kitchen and place an order to the chef to make your selection (which is a big plus). Just be willing to wait in this case for your selection and hope they don't forget about you. However, the biggest minus for them as that we waited for our plates and another party came along and asked for the same thing; so when our 2 orders came out, the waitstaff gave one of them to the other party which really pissed us off. We waited on our two orders and wanted our two orders; not for them to give it away after we waited!\n\nOther than the late dim sum visit where they gave our order away, I've had very good experiences here & highly recommend it over many places in good old crowded Chinatown where you may spend an hour looping around for parking and still get rude service and possibly similar poor selection."

"Pretty good burgers! The steak fries are awesome and you get unlimited fries with your order.",
"Red Robin has got me singing...\n\nLike a little bird about their handburgers and onion rings. We took the meal out and did not dine in, so I can't really give details about the dinning experience. Therefore, I can't say/give you a full 5 star rating.\n\nHowever, the hamburger (their signature burger) was really, really good. They put a sunnyside up egg on the burger!?!?! My friend told me its common in New Zealand to find that on a burger. She comforted my fears of the cooks not going insane or anything. The burgers are bigger than your McDonald burger and are far more tastier (I think its the egg). However, having an egg on an already greasy burger screams heart-attack. \n\nThey have decent onion rings which are fat and big and beat out Sonic's onion rings anytime. However, these too scream heart-attack but are healthier for you than french fries.\n\nFor the finale, they offer you dipping sauces. After tasting these sauces/dressings I screamed HEART-ATTACK. Because it was so rich that you could feel yourself dialing the morgue if one continued eating here on a regular basis.\n\nI like the food, its a pretty good place to take your boyfriend or your dad if he doesn't already have cholesterol problems or is not on a dr. controlled diet which includes taking an antistatitn or Beta-blocker.",
"I used to think that this was one of those rare chains where the Tucson location was similar to locations in California. On some nights this is true, but the majority of the time this is not the case.\n\nRed Robin is known for their burger creations and this location offers the complete RR menu, but the burgers just don't measure up to the same items at RR's in more developed cities. They overcook burgers, leave out ingredients, don't spice things the same, and serve to a lower caliber.\n\nMy favorite item is the whiskey river BBQ chicken wrap. My calorie-conscience friend introduced me to it, and I later discovered that this is not a good thing to order if you are on a diet (1529 Cal). However, if you are not on a diet, it tastes amazing. Ask for a side of campfire sauce, it gives it an extra kick.\n\nOn one occasion I found a one inch bone in my chicken burger. I alerted the waiter and he brought out the same burger in red meat form (which was what I asked for). When the bill came I found my burger to be on it. I asked for the waiter to remove the item that almost killed me from the bill, which he did, but it should have been removed without me asking, or a complimentary drink/dessert should have been offered. This experience equates to bad service.\n\nFor an extensive list of Calories and other diet related numbers on the Red Robin menu, go to http://www.wellsphere.com/local-resource/red-robin/176194",
"It is very easy to make me happy . . . .give me a delicious burger, make it well done then top it with a fried egg and I'm set. Yum! \nOur trip to Red Robin completely exceeded my expectations. Yes, I expected a delicious burger, but the service was way above and beyond what you'd expect at a casual dining place. Kudos to them for keeping happy customers who are definitely, DEFINITELY going back soon!",
"I have found hair in my food, bones in my boneless chicken, hard burgers that were requested as medium-rare, yet I still come here. Why? You know why. There's nowhere else to go.",
"Bleh. We went on a day when it was pretty packed, so I didn't whine TOO much when we were seated between the bathrooms and a table full of tween girls. We ordered. One of the little girls got up to use the bathroom and came just as our waitress was bringing us our food. The girl had toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her shoe, her giggling friends told her, she said \"eww\" and brushed it off with the other shoe leaving it there NEXT TO OUR TABLE. The waitress saw and did nothing! I was surprised and thought the waitress was going over to get some gloves or something, but she just left it there. \nThe girls were giggling and the one adult that was with them wasn't saying anything to them about picking up the toilet paper that was now lying right next to me. I had soooo many thoughts at that time: should I tell them something? should I pick it up? why should i do it? eww. why isn't anyone doing anything. Each time someone would pass by, the paper would blow over a little more. The waitress passed by and I had to ask her if she could please pick it up. Her answer was \"Ew, I don't want to touch toilet paper\". I am quite a low talker, but at this moment all I could answer her was \"WELL NEITHER DO I\". Needless to say, I lost my appetite. We haven't been back. I'm just not keen on having my burgers with a side of toilet paper.",
"I'm not a big fan of big chain restaurants, but for some reason I like Red Robin. The Banzai Burger, with there teriyaki marinated meat and a pineapple, is messy but so tasty. I also like the Whiskey River BBQ burger, which is covered in BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and fried onions. Finally, their Bruschetta Chicken Burger is a yummy offering of grilled chicken breast smothered with bruschetta salsa, pesto aioli, and Provolone cheese.\n\nOther people have complained about the service, and sadly they are correct. Sometimes the service can be good, not really good, just good. Most of the time it really seems like their staff doesn't care, and doesn't want to be there. Despite that, I would recommend trying their burgers. If you are willing to put up with the inconsistent service, you can get their endless steak fries. If you don't want to brave the poor service, then order your burgers to go. \n\nIt is a bit pricey for a burger joint, their service can get pretty bad, and their setup is pretty simple, but I like it nonetheless.",
"Their salads are excellent. Asian Chicken and Strawberry Spinach rock! They aren't just cabbage-filler, and the chicken is excellent. I also love their Monin-syrup flavored iced teas - the peach tea reminds me of the tea used in good black Boba teas. Plus, their unlimited fries are pretty darn good.",
"Red Robin is a perfectly good place to get a decent burger. They're loaded with toppings, tasty, and come with \"endless fries\". The salads are ok. The onion rings are battered and fried nicely, and come with plenty for 3 people. I really like their honey mustard poppy dressing.\n\nThe service can be slow to get drink refills sometimes. The food comes out hot. The prices are just fine. It's conveniently located in the mall, so you can go for a little bit of shopping or walking afterwards.\n\nI would recommend Red Robin if you're looking for a decent place to eat while at the mall, or want a decent burger.",
"I have tried this place over the years over and over again. The word that summarizes it is: grease. Never have I have encountered a place that consistently uses such a ridiculous amount of grease. Today's visit just followed it's oily pathology, when my chicken sandwich of all things was literally drowning in a POOL of grease. I don't actually consider myself too snobby when it comes to greasy food, I'll eat the greasiest pizza and fries and love every minute of it. The bottom of my ciabatta bread today was, however, scarily soggy with grease, and it's no wonder based on the plate practically overflowing with oil. I won't be back."

"Surprisingly fresh sushi, prepared better than that at almost every sushi bar I've been to in America. Oh, and their Chinese food is fantastic too--especially the dim sum. Far better than P.F. Chang's. A must try.",
"TC Choy's has good dim sum and their dinner dishes are tasty as well. The only drawback is the they are really pricey! I think for dinner, just my entree was 18 dollars, and it was just sliced beef, not seafood or anything. I also would say that their dim sum is a little pricey, more than normal anyways. Their restaurant is nicely decorated and the service is very prompt. However, I have to disagree with Ryan, I think PF Change is much better value and the food is always consistenly delicious!",
"I've only come here for dim sum. the decor is nice, but i'm not as in love w/ the dim sum. Each time I go- its tasty while it goes down but gives me a nasty headache later. My msg indicator goes wild and i have trouble driving home after eating here!",
"So far, this is the best dim sum in town. It's a bit on the pricey side but the variety is excellent. Very authentic, my mom gets the chicken feet whenever she goes. They only have the dim sum carts on weekend brunch, otherwise you have to order off the dim sum menu. Other menu items are good but a bit overpriced. This is not cheap chinese take out but if you are hankering for authentic, high quality chinese food this is the place. Still I agree with the other reviews, the price is the reason we don't go more often.",
"I was at TC Choy's for Dim Sum (Chinese brunch) several months ago. I used to love to hit the Chinatown Dim Sums in NYC & Boston, back when I lived up North.\n\nFoodwise TC's came pretty close to matching the good-stuff up north. The dumplings were excellent but the service was spotty at best; think snotty college students.\n\nDim Sum works out best with a large group. I think total cost per person was $11 with tax & tip included.\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nUpdate- I went back and tried the Sushi. Although not to bad, nothing to write home about. The waitress was also clueless about the menu & sushi in general.",
"Unlike the other yelpers so far, I went to T.C. Choy's for dinner, rather than dim sum. Boy, was that a mistake! The food here is overpriced for typical Asian dishes (e.g. ~$20 for phad thai). It literally took over an hour before we got our food... over an hour!! \n\nWe ordered the chicken lettuce wraps, Malay noodles, lobster tail, and beef medallions. The lettuce wraps and noodles were too salty, and the lobster tail was utterly and obviously NOT fresh (advertised to be fresh seafood from their tanks)!! The waitress was very apologetic for our food taking over an hour, and she was able to get us a refund on our lobster. She is the only person deserving of the one star. I do not recommend coming here for dinner... stick to the dim sum, although I cannot vouch for it myself.",
"Amazing food, nice atmosphere, great service. What more can you ask for. I like that they meld most all Asian foods together so you can get Thai while your date gets Japanese. It's fun to watch the fish in the aquariums while you eat too. \n\nMy only complaint is parking..they have a valet lot. I don't mind valet parking, but the lot is RIGHT THERE next to the building. I don't need to pay a valet to drive my car 15 feet into a parking space.",
"I give this place 4 stars for their dim sum. Its in the same league as some of the better Chinese I've had in the tri-state as well as California. It is not the best but its pretty good. I love the dim sum carts that come around. And the variety they offer is authentic and keeps me coming back. For their regular menu, I do agree with Carol L below, overpriced. If they trimmed the price a little, I'd come back to try them for dinner.",
"I've never really thought of myself as a dim sum snob, but gosh...\n\nIn my quest to find some decent Tampa dim sum for my bosom buddy Lyta, a San Francisco transplant to Tampa who keeps begging me to bring her SF dim sum, I happened upon TC Choy's on Yelp.\n\nUpon entering, I noticed that the decor of this Asian fusion restaurant was nice, and that the staff was decent. But it became pretty apparent that the food was not. The fact that it was a Wednesday afternoon, and there were only three small tables of guest in the huge restaurant, yet ALL of their dim sum was already heated up and rolling around in carts did not sit well with me. Figuratively at first.... And then literally almost immediately leaving the restaurant. My poor belly! Same with Lyta :(\n\nIn other dim sum restaurants I've been to, on non-busy days, a dim sum menu is given to the customers to check off what they want, and then everything is made fresh or heated up then. Either way, it doesn't get to the table at room temperature like they do here. Lyta said that her chicken feet were and beef tripe were okay, but the shrimp in tofu skin was too salty, and the shrimp dumplings and shrimp rice roll tasted like they were days old. All hard and flavorless. \n\nWe ordered six dim sum dishes, plus some tea and it came out to almost $30. They charged $2 per person for hot tea. I guess I'm spoiled by all the other dim sum places that either comp it or charge 50 cents.\n\nOh, and I had an odd sighting: an older white woman who's a waitress here who tied her hair up in two buns like little Chinese girls do. Lyta kept referring to her as Chun Li, which is a pretty accurate description of her hair. I'm not sure where the waitress was going with this one...\n\nAnd now I'm back to square one in my quest for decent Tampa dim sum (I've even given up looking for authentic in Tampa; I just need it to taste good) because I definitely wouldn't be coming back to TC Choy's.",
"$2 per person for tea?! $8 for that (somewhat small-sized) plate of steamed Chinese broccoli?! Come ON!\n\nI went on Sunday for lunch per the recommendation of a friend (\"that's when they have more carts, and the dim sum is fresher\") & upon sitting down we were immediately swarmed by 3 different carts.\n\nThe dim sum was fine, with some ups and some downs. I thought the shumai was pretty crappy; the bbq pork buns were good (if a little small) (I don't even usually like bbq pork buns); the shrimp-cilantro dim sum were tasty but I wish the bottoms wouldn't've stuck to the paper; the Chinese broccoli I mentioned was sooooooo good (but again, $8???)...\n\nOverall I quite enjoyed it & will be back again... just probably not too soon."

"High-minded po-boys. The coriander-lime shrimp poboy makes my heart happy. All the dressing I love on a Vietnamese po-boy, with a twist. The creole tomato po-boy, spiced lamb sausage po-boy, watermelon basil salad...I've never ordered a single thing that I could have ordered anywhere else. It's nice to go grab a quick bite that's imaginative and not cookie-cutter BS. Just a bonus that it's in one of my favorite bars.",
"This place is fantastic. They have a veggie po-boy that is fantastic, as well as many salad options (watermelon salad that was spicy, and a local cucumber salad that was SO FRESH/YUM). I pick up from here about once a week, and love being treated like family by the owners. I call in, plop down at the bar for a soda (the restaurant is in the back of a bar), and chat with the bartender while Cam, the chef, works on my awesome sandwich. \n\nThe po-boy keeps getting better. Every time I come back, it tastes better and fresher. He really does care about vegan/vegetarians, as he has a separate grill for us. That's not to say that he doesn't have meat-y options. My dinner guest got the rum and chipotle braised pork and proceeded to inhale it. \n\nAdded bonus: they work with local farms/gardeners to buy as much local stuff as possible. This is awesome! They even list who their providers are on the back of the menu! \n\nI love this place. I love these people. I know you will too. If you don't, you have no soul.",
"This is one of my favorite places to eat! Chef Cam is really gifted, always creative with his fresh ingredients! I dream about his pork belly poboys, so far he has made it 2 different ways both delicious ! The lamb poboy is amazing! I love that he doesn't use stale leidenheimer bread like most poboys around town instead he gets freshly baked vietnamese style french bread!! You're not going to get a better sandwich under 10 bucks and the service is great, always welcoming. Best hidden treasure in the city!!",
"It is sometimes an impossible task to find a menu embracing any sense of originality in the French Quarter. While I love jambalaya and gumbo as much as the next girl it is a relief to finally see something different. I tried the lamb sausage poboy and the watermelon salad, both phenomenal! It felt really nice to be able to escape the bourbon street crowd and sit down to a nice stiff drink while drooling over the heavenly aroma of the sandwich I was about to devour.... well, half of it I devoured, the other half became the subject of a game of tug o war between my coworkers. I was definitely not the only one blown away by chef cam's creations... can't wait to come back and try more!!!",
"I have been a big fan of Killer Po-boys since it first opened. The food is just out of this world. So delicious. I'm sad when my plate is empty... so i tend to order more food even if i do think i can fit anymore in, i always manage eat seconds! The lamb poboy is awesome and has a nice little kick to it. You have to try the pork shoulder poboy. It makes your taste buds smile. I am yet to try the pork belly but am eager to get back there and try it as the other reviews say its kick ass. YUMMERS! i am hungry just thinking about it.",
"Hidden at the back of Erin Rose is an awesome Po'boy stand. Great sides, bread and fresh ingredients for under ten bucks - what more could you ask of a mid day meal?!",
"I had the Jameson grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. It was full of savory flavor and good and gooey and really hit the spot. Slightly greasy, but hey it's grilled cheese, so no foul. I also enjoyed the chili watermelon salad, which was light and refreshing, the perfect counterpoint. I will certainly return with friends.",
"I died last night due to a vicious killer... po-boy. And killer spicy nuts. And killer Thai watermelon salad. \n\nMy friend, who has historically been vehemently averse to the \"P\" word (\"Pop-up,\" not po-boy) must have had an epiphany recently because he has been insisting that we come here for some time now. Really, all I needed was Andrea B's seal of approval (and ROTD last week) and it was a done deal. I was going to love Killer Po-Boys.\n\nAnd I do, boy, I do.\n\nI will report back once I actually eat one of the sandwiches, but my friend, who also has the appetite of a bird, managed to eat his entire pulled pork po-boy. And god help me, despite my vow to never indulge in Wilbur again, I was tempted. The bread is just how I like it, crusty, yet soft. The fillings spill out. It's po-boy perfection.\n\nAnd there are two intriguing vegetarian choices (not deep fried, yay!) on the po-boy menu. Plus a grilled cheese.\n\nI did inhale the entire serving of spicy nuts and watermelon salad. The flavors are just that incredible. Impossible to stop. IMPOSSIBLE!!!! And I wasn't even hungry (hence me not ordering the curried vegetable po-boy that has my name written all over it).\n\nPrices are insanely cheap ($3 spiced nuts, helllllo perfect cheap drunky snack; $2 salads, $7 po-boys) and the glorious lady behind the entire operation is a saint. She may make killer food, but she is a fucking saint. There, I said it.\n\nDeath by po-boy. It has happened.",
"FIrst of all, it's in the back of Erin Rose, so automatically a win. We got both the pork and the lamb po boys. They are huge. The pork is braised and tender. The lamb has a mint yogurt sauce that is such a jam. They make a delicious sandwich. The dude working the counter was super nice and helpful.",
"I heard about Killer Po-Boys from Gambit, and it didn't disappoint - other than my first sandwich choice (lamb) being unavailable. You order at the back of the Erin Rose pub (which makes an outstanding drink, for the record) and then ideally get a drink at the bar while you wait for your sandwich. Although be aware that the bar is tiny and with 10 people it already seems crowded and hard to order a drink.\n\nThe sandwiches are pretty good - we ended with pork and fried catfish and as expected they are some of the better \"po-boys\" in town. Okay, it's really just a well made sandwich that you don't even have to order \"dressed\" because they often don't have lettuce & tomato but will automatically dress it with whatever type of aioli, etc. goes best with the sandwich. The Zapp's options were limited - no Crawtater flavor and we got the last bag of Voodoo chips - but at least we were able to get chips to go with our sandwiches. Were they good? Yes. I wouldn't say they were the best ever but I plan to go back and try another couple offerings which will hopefully be outstanding. I suspect it will be tough to go wrong at Killer Po-Boys."

"I realize it makes little sense to review an Olive Garden (or any faux-ethnic chain restaurant), but what the heck...\n\nI dined here the other night with a lovely companion, based strictly on the fact that it was: A) Very close to where we were, and B) There was a giftcard that was just begging to be used. Sold!\n\nA place like OG can easily be ripped to shreds if you really wanted to go there, and normally I would, but its not worth it. The service we received was fast and friendly, a potentially meal-ending snafu was handled quickly and graciously (hair in a salad), and with the gift card the total outlay was a whopping $7. Sure, giftcards just don't fall from the sky, but even without one the meal would have been very cheap, all things considered. And the food, while not vaguely authentic, was solid (though extremely heavy). The glass of house red was cheap ($5 or so) and didn't make me want to vomit, so thats an extra star.\n\nI am in no hurry to go back, but I ain't gonna throw stones, either.",
"Ugh. Don't get me started on O.G. - and this one in particular is where 2 out of 3 of my DH's brothers had their wedding rehearsal dinners.\n\nThus, my (then future) FIL wanted US to have our rehearsal dinner there too. NO WAY!!! (We wound up going to Bensi's across the street).\n\nMeanwhile - O.G is NOT Italian. It's faux-talian-american. And it's full of kids.\n\nI am not a fan of the over cooked, over sauce formula-cooked pastas.\nIt's OK in a pinch but there are so many way better choices.",
"I'm not really sure why people wrote reviews about how OG is faux-Italian... I think that goes without saying so why bash the place for it?\n\nI've been to this particular Olive Garden many times over the years and as OG's go.. it's fine. It does not stand out as being outstanding (caveat being that the one in Toms River, NJ does) but it is exactly what you would expect from an OG. The food is good and there is plenty of it.\n\nGenerally speaking, the service is eh. Could be faster and better, but it's not terrible. So, if you are going to Olive Garden, this one is fine. There was even an occasion on a Sunday when the state stores were closed and I needed a bottle of wine that they allowed me to purchase a bottle, take a sip then bring it home. It allowed them to comply with their liquor license and I still got my bottle of cabernet.",
"I've been to a lot of Olive Gardens and this has the slowest service of all of them. I've been there 3 times now. The food is what you expect from Olive Garden. The last time we went, we were seated at our table then waited a half hour before deciding to go somewhere else instead. During that time our waiter didn't even bother to greet us or say that he'll be right with us. Would have been nice to have some water while we were waiting. I've since met a guy who works in the kitchen and he says don't eat at this particular Olive Garden.",
"This olive garden is in a nice area of the neighborhood. We had no issues here with the exception that they took forever to bring out our salads once we ordered our food. The waitstaff was friendly and quick to satisfy our needs.",
"I used to frequent Olive Gardens back in college, and actually thought it to be a pretty nice place. Perhaps my palate wasn't as developed back then, or perhaps we were in a constant haze of hangovers which hindered my taste buds. Either way, after a 3 year hiatus from the OG, last night's dinner at this OG location was mediocre at best.\n\nGripes:\n-Bread sticks were dry . Must order dipping sauce to make it bearable.\n-Bruchetta was bland. It was really just chopped tomatoes.\n-Salad was under-dressed.\n-Capellini di Mare was under-seasoned. I had to pile on the pepper to add some taste.\n-Our server was the epitome of airhead with an obnoxious voice that spewed out at 50 mph.\n\nReasons why they received 2 stars instead of 1:\n-The 1 piece of grilled chicken flatbread I tasted was fantastic.\n-The salad plates were cold. Always a nice touch.",
"Olive Garden is a popular Italian restaurant across the country. I would like to share my view specifically on the Olive Garden at 1200 Bethlehem Pike, North Wales, Pennsylvania. The décor and the arrangement of the restaurant is very beautiful and it almost hard to find a table in the evening. I went to this restaurant once at 9:00PM with a group of 8 friends. At first we like the welcome at the reception and were guided to seat on table properly arrange. But as we proceeded with the dinner, our experience was not at all satisfactory. First of all, the restaurant serves fresh hot bread on the table and we requested them to provide some olive oil. They arrived with Olive oil after 20 minutes and didn't even have the realization that the bread is already cold and tough now. Some of us had already taken the bread with butter and others just gave up. The dinner arrived around 15 minutes after the olive oil, I must say that there was not even a hint of smile on the face of the attendants. They were almost throwing the dishes on the table and were just serving the food for the sake of it. We asked the attendants that why are we seeing a not interested attitude here, they replied \"It is almost 9:30 PM so we are tired\". This was the first time in my life I have heard an attendant sharing such a statement with a customer. We didn't feel like having the dinner at all. The food wasn't fresh and I could not even have even have my food.",
"I had a great time and meal. it has been years since I frequented Olive Garden. To be honest they really have changed their corporate direction and business acumen. They have focused more on authentic Italian cuisine, not just run of the mill Italian food. You'll get plenty fat off the mountains of Garlic Bread they supply. Their wine selection is actually very succinct and broad. Which is a good thing. I always like the atmosphere the most. At night, you get a booth and the lighting and feeling just absorbs the days stress The food is great quality E/P Parm., Chick. Alf., all the Standard Italian fare with decent seafood options. Definitely showed me something Olive Garden!",
"Horrible. I went here with my family and the waiter screwed up my fiancee's dinner so he had to wait to receive his dinner, the correct one, which again was the waiter's fault for bringing him out the wrong dinner. We all finished our meals and yet my fiancee still did not receive his!!! It was ridiculous and our waiter sucked. He had the worst attitude. He actually rolled his eyes when he was informed that he brought out the wrong meal. I hate this place. I would never go back. Oh and all of our dinner's (the one's who did eat) sucked.",
"My daughter wanted to go here for the breadsticks before she returned to college. Normal wait for olive garden - 20 minutes or so. Didn't wait long for drink order but went down from there. Placed order - got salads and soup but no breadsticks. Had to ask for them. Then just when we thought it was taking awhile for our appetizers, we got our appetizers and main course at same time. Not acceptable. We were not the only ones with a problem. Couple at next table complained that their appetizers never came out. There was a problem with husbands meal and the wife was done her entree before her husbands meal came back out. Don't think that we will be visiting again."

"I drive by this intersection countless times during the week -- and the space has always intrigued me, since I saw the former tenant (a bakery of sorts) open and close within what seemed like a matter of minutes. So I was really excited when I saw that a wood-oven pizzeria was about to be our new neighbor! I looove pizza!\n\nAnyway, I stopped by last night for a carryout order, since Onesto is closed on Tuesdays (don't even get me started on that) and the boy was swamped with work at home, making a trek to Pi or Dewey's impossible.\n\nI only waited 10-15 minutes for my order and the space is nice -- clean and modern, with two flat screen TVs and a bar. The employees were very pleasant, too.\n\nThe menu, however, needs to be beefed up a bit -- if only by adding more pizza sizes! My eyes immediately went to the Margherita pizza, but all of their pies are only available as a 12\". So I tacked on an order of bruschetta and a caesar salad to fill our tummies. All total, the bill was about $22 -- not too shabby.\n\nPaired with a bottle of red wine at home, this turned into a rather nice meal. The bruschetta was particularly yummy and topped with plenty of fresh tomatoes. But again, we each could've eaten another slice of pizza. (Oh who am I kidding, we could have eaten at least two more slices!) So next time we might order another. (Stop judging.)\n\nMy only other concern is that the \"Pizzeria Tivoli\" name is a snore, which makes me question their branding potential -- I would, after all, like to see this place stick around!",
"This new pizza joint on South Kingshighway has all of the makings of a strong diamond in the rough. My wife and I recently stepped in to eat early on a Friday night and found the eight or so tables filled with diners. Counter space at the bar area was available and gave us a great view of the wood-fired pizza oven and the open kitchen. The menu is small and noticeably without a sausage option. We ordered a spinach pizza with a garlic and olive oil based sauce (2 cheeses) and one traditional pepperoni pie with mozzarella cheese. Both pizzas had a crisp crust with a chewy texture. We loved the food and the atmosphere seemed fresh and friendly. I hope this place makes it, I get a good vibe plus, I love thinking about people starting their own business with a strong product.",
"We visited this pizzeria tonight with my mother and young daughter. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The pizza very much reminded me of the pizza we had while in Italy. Although I'll agree with the other reviewer that it would have been nice to have a sausage option! \n\nWe had the Cesar Salad which was quite tasty. Also the wine was very reasonable by the glass. We also had the chicken, artichoke heart, and red pepper pizza which was very good and the pepperoni pizza. We also ordered dessert. Both the Tirmisu and chocolate cake were lovely. The coffee we received was strong, fresh brewed and delicious without and cream or sugar. \n\nI would definitely like to go back.",
"I came here with my Mom & Dad a few weeks ago. It was for dinner. At 6pm, we were lucky enough to have scored the last tiny table in the place. \n\nIt's pretty small inside, which was fine with me. I've heard their patio is lovely to sit on, but it was a bit windy on that night. \n\nWe ordered some appetizer with meat/cheese/roasted peppers/olives. The meat was good, but the cheese was nothing special... roasted peppers and olives were good. I ordered the caprese salad and wow that was good! You get a lot of thick mozarella for your price. The balsamic glaze drizzled on top was really good. As for our pizza - I was left a bit disappointed. It had a chewy crust yes (to each their own) - but what bothered me was that so much of the cheese had sunk to the middle of the pizza. There were large sections near the crust that had nothing but the tomato paste on it. Our pizza had olives and prociutto on it - the meat topping came out as VERY large thin pieces of meat that were chewy. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad! My dad and I jokingly called it beef jerky though. \n\nI would come back here - but definitely want to try other things on the menu... \n\nI hope it stays in business - cute local places are the best!",
"Fabulous true Italian style Pizza in a very European cafe style restaurant!",
"I have been to this place three times now, each time having a better experience than the last. \n\nThe first time I visited was just a few weeks after they opened during the summer. We sat on the patio during a lovely, perfect summer evening. Our waitress greeted us promptly and handed us our menus. Their offerings were sparse, but succinct - I knew this ahead of time, per previous reviews. We ordered the margherita pizza and the \"four cheese\" pizza. A quick 15 minutes later, our pizzas arrived piping hot and looking outstanding. \n\nI will be honest, when I first saw them, I was a SMIDGE disappointed - they were a bit smaller than I anticipated, and everything seemed unevenly distributed over the pizza. Upon first bite, however, I knew I was in for a treat. The pizza has that perfect crust, in my opinion - slightly crisp, chewy, and just flexible enough to be folded over and eaten \"New York-style.\" Tangy sauce, fresh mozzarella, and a true wood-fired taste really sent this pizza over the top. Both the margherita and the four-cheese were delicious, and after each piece came the difficult choice of which kind to choose next. \n\nFast forward a few months, to a few weeks ago. We decided to walk down, since it is just a block or so from our house. This time we sat inside at the counter, as it was chilly and crisp outside. We had a good view of the wood-fired oven, and began a nice conversation with the pizza-maker (a big, super friendly Italian guy from NYC). This time we ordered the Italian sausage pizza and the pizza topped with feta cheese, gyro meat, tomatoes, lettuce, and tzatziki sauce. The sausage pizza was delicious, with true spicy Italian-sausage thrown liberally on top. However, the real standout was the \"gyro pizza\", as we called it. I HIGHLY recommend this pizza! Folded over, it was akin to eating a hot, fresh gyro with crispy chewy crust. Completely to die for. \n\nLast visit was a few days ago with my neighbor, and I suggested the \"gyro\" pizza to split, and we both ordered a salad. The caprese salad was outstanding, and beautifully presented - sliced tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, stacked, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic, topped with fresh basil, and served with a couple of bread points. She apparently enjoyed her caesar salad, as well, because she cleaned her plate... and I swear a frown crossed her face as she took her last bite. A glass of Peroni and a pizza later, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. \n\nI challenge you to set aside your notion of what \"pizza\" is in St. Louis, and expand your palate to include the wood-fired, Italian way.",
"So, if you feel you've got to head over the river for good wood-fired pizza, turn your car around and head south down Kingshighway to Pizzeria Tivoli. This is a charming, rustic little place (with the exception of two flat screen televisions.) The menu is limited to simple salads and pizzas--so if you're looking for pastas, go somewhere else. These delicious pies have a great chewy thin crust, lots of cheeses, and plenty of sauce. We had the margherita and the Bianca with chicken; both were quite tasty. Next time, I'm taking Paul T's advice and getting the gyro pie.\n\nWord of warning: check their hours before you go. I don't think they are open for lunch.",
"I so want to give more stars because this place has potential; it's in my neighborhood and I love pizza places, but I experienced some serious issues last night. We walked in around 7:00 on a Sunday and the place was about half full. It's really small (about 9 tables and maybe 6 seats at the bar) so I wasn't sure if you sat yourself or waited for someone to seat you. I took a few steps in and made eye contact with the woman behind the bar who was looking at me, but made no attempt to step forward and greet us. I saw her mouth move, but didn't hear what she said since she was too far away so I said we had a party of two and she vaguely waved toward the closest 2-person table. So I'm still not really sure what the seating etiquette is.\n\nWe sat down and she brought over menus. The menu is simple - pizza, a few salads, and two appetizers - so we were ready to order within two minutes, but we sat there for probably closer to seven. Not a huge deal, but we were clearly ready to order since we were just sitting there staring at each other and she walked by us several times. When she came over we ordered a pepperoni pizza and two drinks. She brought out the drinks right away and I'd like to point out that my husband's soda was served in a plastic cup, but my iced tea was served in a real glass. I really appreciated this because for some reason I much prefer iced tea out of a real glass glass. But, it wasn't brewed, it was a brand straight out of the soda fountain.\n\nAfter we came in and were seated, two other groups of people came in - one group at the bar and another at a table behind us. After we ordered and had been sitting there for about 15 minutes I look over and notice that the guys at the bar, who each ordered their own pizza, had been served as well as the two guys behind us, who too had ordered two pizzas. And the guys at the bar were halfway done with theirs. I'm not really sure how all the people that came in after us were served their pizza so much sooner. \n\nWhen our pizza was served it tasted really good. It's hand-tossed and cooked in a real brick oven. It was covered in plenty of mozzarella and pepperoni. But, the inside crust was so thin and so soaked in grease that it was impossible to eat with your hands. It would just flop straight down it was so limp. And they only serve a 10\" pie, so if you're really hungry one might not be enough for two people.\n\nBy the time we finished everyone else had cleared out. Our drinks were refilled once - after we had finished eating. And, though, the woman cleared our plates she didn't bring us our bill. So we're sitting there and sitting there while she's behind the bar adding up receipts. Finally, I stand up and put on my coat, which brought her over in a hurry. Then, with our credit card sticking out of the booklet thing, she proceeded to walk by us twice busing the other table. And this woman is one of the owners, judging from the reviews that were framed on the wall with her picture on them.\n\nSo this meal took over an hour. A meal that consisted of one 10\" pepperoni pizza that took maybe 10 minutes to eat. Service was horrible and I can't even blame it on busy-ness since we were the only ones there by the end of our meal. It's such a small place so I would think they would be interested in a quick turnover. I guess not. I'm not sure I'll be back unless I have a ton of time to wait for an OK pizza.",
"I was excited to try this new pizzeria when I saw it and took my daughter there on a summer evening. We sat a table on the patio with four settings. The waitress asked us if we wouldn't mind if they brought a smaller table from inside for us so that a larger party could sit at the four top. We said \"no problem\". Shortly after we were at our new table, they sat a couple at the table we just left. Whatever, stuff happens. What was inexcusable was the fact that that couple, as well as another group that was seated after us, were waited on before us. When we were finally waited on, I asked if we could do a half and half pizza, 1/2 meats and 1/2 Bianca. I didn't think it would be a problem since both pizzas cost the same. We were told they couldn't do it at which time we decided to leave. I did return after that because I still wanted to try their pizza. We ordered the Bianca, which was very bland. The crust is good, so I may give them one more shot.",
"Very good wood-fired pizza at a reasonable price. There are a number of other wood fired places in town, but at $10 for a cheese, this one is the best deal I've found in town. The quality doesn't suffer, either.\n\nMy wife and I went on a Friday night around 6 pm. It had a few customers, but wasn't busy (so check it out!). We each had a pizza - her a mushroom pizza, and me a gyro pizza. Yes, gyro pizza. More on that in a moment.\n\nHer mushroom pizza was great - it was a white pizza, with nice pieces of mozzarella and big chunks of cooked mushrooms on top. We both thought it was pretty spectacular.\n\nMy pizza, though, was so weird that it was good. A nice crispy, but not burnt, crust, lovingly smothered with just the right amount of feta cheese. On top of that, gyro meat (YUM!), tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and tzatziki sauce. I really liked this, and it was just like a gyro on a nice crispy pizza crust.\n\nOverall, the menu is small, with 2 appetizers, 3 salads, and a dozen or so pizzas (or make your own). The drink menu was standard, a few wines, a handful of beers, and a full bar. The service was nice and attentive, and the rest of the staff was pretty nice. I'd highly recommend checking them out in south city."

"This is an authentic, true Philly experience. \n\nDefinitely nothing fancy but you feel like you are having dinner in someone's home. The food is delicious, atmosphere is warm and cozy. Did I mention that the food is unbelievable? It can take quite some time to get your entree, so make sure to eat the delicious bread and order appetizers. \n\nThe service is one of a kind. The only downfall is that parking is at a minimum with a small lot in back and some spaces on the street in front.\n\nBut still remains one of the western suburb's best kept secrets.",
"This is indeed Landsdowne's best kept secret. We have been going here for years and it is a one of a kind dining experience. The service is slow for a reason. it gives you time to sit down with a bottle of wine and catch up on old stories. The appetizers and bread are delicious. I recommend the mussels with white sauce or tomato Bruciette. \n\nThe entrees are all home made and whether you go with pasta, steak or seafood you ill not be disappointed. \n\nI recommend the Spinach Ravioli with Rosa sauce and a side of meatballs. every time I eat the meatballs I get a tear in my eye thinking about my old Italian grandmother and I am Irish so you figure it out. \n\nAnyway if you are looking for an old Italian BYOB dining experience with delicious food and a long night out this is the place. Tell Frankie that you were recommended by Joe and Kim and she will take care of you.",
"Don't blink or you'll miss this place, seriously. I must have driven past it hundreds of times without realizing that it was there, thankfully that has all changed. Bona Cucina is a hidden gem that serves some of the area's best food. Its intimate setting makes you feel like you are having a meal at your grandmother's house surrounded by your family. I cannot say it enough, but the food is excellent, I wish that I could try everything on the menu multiple times. Aside from the delicacies coming out of the kitchen, the atmosphere at Bona Cucina is phenomenal, unassuming and anti-elitist. The only drawback is the parking, but that is only a minor afterthought that should not prohibit you from getting there.",
"Whenever I go to any other Italian restaurant, I almost always end up saying \"that was good, but it was no Bona Cucina.\" \nI have been coming here for years upon years and have never had a bad meal (granted, I got veal marsala for about 6 years straight). \nBest appetizers: Stuffed portabella mushroom, steamed mussels in white wine broth, and basically any of the cream soups/bisques. \nBest meals: any meat. It is so tender, you rarely need a knife to cut it! The pasta is ok, but their chicken and veal dishes are what really sing. \nFrankie, the waitress (and wife of the owner/chef Pat) is sassy but a fabulous waitress. The place is small and usually quite loud on weekends, but that is exactly the way a good BYO Italian restaurant should be.\nIf you are ever in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Bona Cucina is a MUST. \nNote: It is cash only.",
"Delicious hole-in-the-wall Italian spot. Garlic bread is spot on, ambience is personal and the space is cozy. The wait is long, but the food is made to order so hasn't been sitting in a freezer for days on end. Well worth the wait - the portions are generous and the quality is solid, service is friendly.\n\nWent here with a few friends and was pleasantly surprised. The door is unmarked, and it is a bit tight and dark inside. Would totally come back the next time I'm in town.",
"Bona Cucina is most definitely the best Italian restaurant ever to be located between a crime scene cleanup outfit and a bus turnaround. Ate here a couple of weeks ago for my dad's birthday. We had a reservation and strolled right up to our table. We brought two bottles of wine, which the server opened for us right away (my lone real complaint was that they didn' t bring an ice bucket for the white wine, and I forgot to ask). Unfortunately, they also didn't turn on the air conditioner until we got there, which was INCREDIBLY LOUD. Once the temperature got down to normal, it was mostly like eating at home with our own moderately loud air conditioner, but for those ten minutes, we were practically yelling across the table.\n\nAppetizers were tasty, especially the specials - cream of asparagus soup and portabella mushroom stuffed with sausage, spinach and feta. Main courses were also delicious, but reeeeaaallly slow. Don't come to this restaurant if you don't have a lot to talk about and definitely get an appetizer, because it's going to be a while before you see the main course. The meat dishes were delicious and tender. If you want leftovers, get the tortellini - my cousin's entree could have fed a family of four. Also get the rosa sauce, it's fantastic.\n\nWe didn't order dessert because we brought along our own ice cream cake, but they also served that beautifully. Overall, it's a good experience, but I definitely prefer it in the non-A/C season.",
"My favorite italian restuarant in the burbs of Philly. Casual BYOB with fantastic cook to order dinners. I go there once or twice a year and it never dissapoints. Friendly local wait staff and very informal. It's like eating at a friends house in South Philly. Neighborhood getting a little seedy. That just adds to it's out of the way charm. You would never think a place that good would be located there. A must try in Delaware County,Pa.",
"I love this place! The food is outstanding. My favorite is the Chicken Celeste. The service is great (Frankie is friendly and attentive),\nI would definitely recommend this gem!",
"Went to Bona Cucina for New Years Eve 2011 dinner. It was recommended to my bf and I by my best friend. 4 of us went there for dinner, and it was awesome.\n\nBecause of the holiday, they had a smaller menu to choose from, but it was great. I had the roasted peppers as an appetizer, then had crab stuffed scallops as a main meal. I topped it off with a fresh cannoli for dessert and it was to die for. \n\nThe fact that it's a BYO makes it even better. The atmosphere was great - friendly staff, table cloths, everything was really nice. I am definitely looking forward to the next time I go back. I don't think any Italian food will be able to compare now that I've experienced Bona Cucina!!",
"This is the best Italian BYOB around. Food is excellent, service is good. Only down side is sometimes the food takes a while to get to the table but everything is made to order and very good and good things come to those who wait."

"Love, love, love Maize! Our dinner was so amazing last night I think I may have had my first out of body experience. The service is top notch and I'm a huge fan of cozy restaurants where you can see the chef's at work. Last night was our second dinner at Maize in the last month. \n\nMy wife and I both enjoyed our relaxing night out at Maize, but enough about the build up, on to the food. I ordered the pork with pickled watermelon as my appetizer. Very delicious combination of the bbq pork ribs and the sweet pickled melon. My wife had a spinach ricotta tart that she really enjoyed. Before our apps we were treated to a couple hot biscuits with butter and honey.\n\nOur main entrees were spectacular. I had the bison (filet) with forked mash potatoes and swiss chard. The bison was a perfect medium rare to rare, seasons perfectly, and huge, but then again bison are pretty big. The potatoes and swiss chard were rich and creamy, the perfect pairing. Unbelievable. My wife had the hanger steak with baked sweet potatoes and braised scallions. All I can say is this hanger steak was out of this world and my mouth is watering as I sit here writing. So flavorful and melt in your mouth tender.\n\nFor desert we split the chocolate hazelnut cake with strawberry compote and vanilla bean sauce. I'll say this was definitely tasty, but the desert we had before was better (more on that latter). Overall, Maize delivers great american style food in a cozy BYOB restaurant atmosphere. With two apps, two entrees, and dessert our dinner with tip came to just under a hundred dollars. We also did not have to fight traffic, pay tolls, or pay for parking to enjoy a fantastic dinner.\n\nLast time out we went with friends and all had the corn tasting menu they were having for a few days in July. First course was snapper with a corn salad, second course hanger steak with a corn fritter and potatoes, and dessert was a corn infused bread pudding with raspberry sorbet and fresh fruit. We all loved our dinners from start to finish, including sampling their in house made root beer.",
"Dined at maize last weekend and had an amazing experience. I live in Philadelphia so eat at some of the city's top restaurants regularly. This stands up to any of them and is in fact better then many. The star dish of the night was the bison, but everything was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive and the meal was long and relaxed not rushing us out like many byobs. This is a must try restaurant. We cannot wait to return!",
"One of the best BYOB's in the area. Small but cozy. Be sure to get reservations!",
"Who would have thought such a gem is hiding in the sleepy 'bedroom' community of Perkasie? Great food! Great service! Perfect place for a cozy date! Enjoyed a meal on a Tuesday evening - had a reservation, but didn't need it.\n\nMenu had just the right selection. Had an amazing roasted-beat salad! The waiter offered to expand on a appetizer to create a main dish. Priced right for the quality of food. Grab your favorite bottle and head on over! You won't be disappointed!",
"I cannot say enough about this place! I went there for the first time last night, for Valentines Day. It is a very cozy restaurant, seats 25.\n\nThere is a beautiful exposed brick wall on one side of the restaurant, and as soon as you walk in you can see the Chef cooking in the kitchen.\n\nOur table was right next to the kitchen, but it was not loud at all.\n\nEverything about this place is well thought out, you can tell a lot of love and care went into planning every aspect!\n\nThey have two large blackboards which list the local farms where they get their ingredients from.\n\nThey serve you amazing popcorn and corn biscuits before your meal....which were so amazing it made me really excited to try everything else.\nEverything is made to order- and you can tell!\n\nI had the grouper which was fantastic, it was on a bed of spinach and quinoa. For my first course my husband and I ordered scallops which were served on this bed of salad which was to die for and we also tried the sweet potato gnocchi. I have never tasted anything like the sweet potato gnocchi before- it was such a unique experience for my mouth:)\n\nFor dessert we had a chocolate hazlenut cake, with a coffee brulee.\nEven the dessert was made to order....it came out warm and gooey!\nPerfect portion size for everything, I practically licked every plate!\n\nThis was a special Valentines Day menu, so I am not sure if they will have these available at other times.\n\nNeedless to say I will for sure be back to this place.\nWe made a reservation since it was V-Day, Im not sure if you will need one on other days- and they are closed on Monday and Tuesday, only open for dinner every other day.",
"I feel the same way as Stacee D. . I cannot say enough about this tiny place ! My girl friends and I had a fabulous meal there this past Saturday\nevening - we also had the table right by the kitchen - there were 6 of us so it was not exactly peaceful ( what do you want with 6 yakking women ?) but we were still able to hear one another and have conversation .\nThe menu is unique and mouth watering . Go hungry - it takes a little bit for the first course to come but they ply you with little bowls of the most amazing fresh popped popcorn seasoned w/ sea salt , parsley and olive oil and then they bring you a fresh baked biscuit w/ a dollop of local honey and slivers of fresh butter . \nI recommend the sweet potato gnocchi and the braised fennel over home made pasta - heaven !! Great service !! BYOB !!\nI know once the word gets out it ill be impossible to get a table but I want them the to succeed !",
"This place was pretty good. 5 star server, 3 star service (food took a very long time), 3 1/2 star food.\n\nThey started us off with some popcorn with nice infused oil with chives and a little salt. They also served us fresh corn biscuits that had clearly just come out of the oven, with a little butter and a piece of honeycomb. Wonderful. They had in-house home made sodas, so I ordered a cream soda and Sherman ordered a key lime. Both fantastic.\n\nThe scallops were sweet and tender, not rubbery or fishy. Nice crust and served with a pretty good slaw flavored with red wine vinegar. Maybe a little overpowering but refreshing in contrast to the scallops.\n\nThe bison was cooked correctly to medium but being such a lean meat would have better if we had ordered medium-rare. Potatoes were richly flavored with bison au-jus and the greens had great character and dimension to the flavor. Not over-salted. Fantastic dish, would definitely recommend it.\n\nThe crab cake was somewhat low-grade crab (no big pieces) and the corn was too sweet for the dish. I was unimpressed by the quality of this dish at this price point. Nice big cake, but I'd rather have had a couple smaller, higher quality cakes. I wouldn't order this again.\n\nOverall, wonderful service and pretty good food. This place has stiff competition in nearby Washington House, and if I were going to recommend one or the other, I'm sad to say that Maize would not be the winner. The quality of the crab killed it for me. On the other hand, I love that they source mostly local ingredients! It's a toss-up.",
"This adorable, cozy surprise in the middle of Perkasie (of all places) was a truly fabulous way to spend a Friday night with friends.\n\nWith seating for possibly up to 30 people we recommend reservations.\n\nWhen we arrived they served their famous popcorn (a sign of hospitality) that was addictive and coated in herbs and spices and also warm biscuits. As someone who is gluten-free I was so tempted to taste the biscuits just because of the smell! They were served with local honey and butter.\n\nThey have cleverly coded their awesome menu for gluten-free people so they have a huge selection of gluten free options and dishes that can be made gluten free (the restaurant is also beside a gluten-free health food store) - added bonus.\n\nOur table ordered the salad with roasted beets and triple goats cheese and also the heirloom tomato salad. I am pretty sure I could have just eaten the goats cheese all night- it was creamy and decadent! \n\nFor our main course the gentleman ordered bison. They claimed it was delicious (it is served medium rare) and my honey might have enjoyed it a little more cooked so you may want to share that with your server if you order it. My friend enjoyed the crab cake which looked packed full of crabmeat. My hanger steak with yukon potatoes and seriously the best jus I have ever tasted, melted in my mouth. It was awesome!\n\nAs we were too full for dessert we missed the experience of trying something to recommend.\n\nThere are several things I love about this place:\nThe intimate setting \nWatching the chefs prepare my food\nBYOB\nGluten free options\nAll produce is sourced from local farmers (listed on chalk boards)\nService is attentive (but the meal is very slow)\n\nI highly recommend it and will be back for sure!",
"We moved from perkasie to nazareth and I've gotta say this is by far one of the best places we've eaten in the locally grown foods category. The decor is nice, the food is incredible, and the service is wonderful. The one time our food came out wrong, it was on the house. The chef is part native-american and that's where the theme is for the restaurant. We've taken friends to eat here and so far everyone has been wowed. I would recommend this place to anyone...even if you live far away, it's worth the trip!",
"So we lived in Perkasie for several years. We moved a while back. We were there seeing our friends a few weeks ago and wanted to go out for dinner. We made reservations (even though I thought it was probably not needed). Glad we did! The place is small (it was full) but would not want it any other way. My wife and I and our friends could not believe the experience. It was a wonderful surprise. \n\nMatt the chef is right there in the back of the small restaurant (in full view) and each meal is made to order. It was an exquisite meal (I had the Bison Fillet) and I would suggest that anyone I know make this a MUST to visit and enjoy a spectacular meal. Wish we still lived in the area. Would go on a regular basis."

"A whole group of skaters went here after derby scrimmage night at the Skatium. Scrimmages generally end around 10pm, and require a TON of energy so we were all looking to refuel and throw a couple of beers on top.\n\nTurns out, their kitchen closes at 9pm. They were able to throw together some salads for us that were decent and some 12\" pizzas. Hi Refinition and myself had the bacon & sausage pizza. I was tasty, but had provel on it....I am an avowed provel hater. We were not warned.\n\nThe beer selection is not great. The folks in the area are mostly in to the cheap stuff/mass market stuff, but they DO keep a couple brews from Perennial Artisan Ales on tap, that was a saving grace.\n\nThis place just opened a week ago, or so, and I had the opportunity to talk to the guy running it. He gave us his phone number and said he'd keep the burger kitchen open late if we let him know we would all be showing up after practice. I also suggested he order a cider for the non-gluten folks.\n\nI'll update this review again soon.",
"LONG STORY STARTS HERE: \nBiked from Tower Grove East to Jefferson Barracks, and on the way back we were super hungry... after going through this \"Patch\" neighborhood (only found out the name after I googled these guys) and spotting a couple of places near the Ivory Theater, this place stood out. The chalkboard sign on the sidewalk said something about \"Beer,\" I think....\n\nSo my gf and popped in and the cute blonde bartender and a friendly waitress welcomed us in and told us we could park our bikes inside (no locks, didn't plan to stop) - very cool.\n\nTHE PLACE:\nInside, the place is huge. They had just painted and done some other remodeling. Huge game room with pool table in the back, umbrella tables out front on the sidewalk, and there were few tables of people inside on a beautiful late Sunday afternoon. After reopening as Stacked (from Ivory Coast Bistro) for only a few weeks, I can imagine things will get even better in terms of more people being \nthere on a consistent basis. Apparently they get good crowds of former Ivory Coast regulars, plus they have weekly karaoke and the like to keep the traffic up through the week.\n\nSKIP TO HERE IF YOU WANT GET TO FOOD INFO:\nLooked over the menu, they have a ton of burger options, plus you could build your own. \"Big Fat Greek Burger\", Sriracha-laced patties, plus all your traditional combos/toppings... it's all here. Got some local beers from Perennial and a few others on tap - selection is limited, but all local, which is very cool. I got the Rooster: sriracha patty + swiss + celery slaw = awesome!! GF got the black bean veggie burger, also good and not dry like others I've tried. Sweet potato fries are delicious and not too overly sweet, and the cole slaw, though a little lower on salt, was as light and fresh as cole slaw can be. I am so hungry just from writing that last sentence, even if I am a crappy writer. But the memory of deliciousness has left quite a mark...\n\nSERVICE:\nFull bar, and the place is huge. The bartender was really friendly, even gave me a free half pint when my GF realized that she had ordered a dark beer accidentally half-way through the pour. So I ended up with 1.5 pints of this darker Perennial to go with my burger. Bartender even explained the new ownership (place used to be called Ivory Coast Bistro) and Sam, one of the new owners, even came and sat down with us at the bar to tell us more about their plans and check on how we like the food. Really friendly guy. Everyone was nice, and I will be back soon to check on the progress. Can't wait!",
"I've been to Stacked three times now. I was going to give it a 5 after the first two times. But, it's getting a tentative three now. \n\nBackground: My husband and I used to be fans of the Ivory Coast Bistro and would go there frequently. But, the last couple of months before it closed, we stopped going because the service was slow and rude, and the food had gone way downhill. When it closed and revamped as Stacked, we were very excited to try the new place.\n\nFirst Visit: FANTASTIC. The food was great. There were a lot of choices. I got the bean burger, which was incredible. The beer was good. Place was pretty busy. Service was amazing. They really seemed to be trying hard to make the new place really shine.\n\nSecond Visit: Same. Excellent experience.\n\nThird Visit: my husband and I walked in and sat down. The place was nearly empty (it was a Sunday afternoon). We waited...and waited...and waited. 10 minutes after we sat down, no one came by to even give us menus. The bartender yelled out to us, \"be with you in a minute.\" Hmm. We waited. Owner passed our table. Guy from outside came in and ordered a beer. Still no menus, no water, nothing. After waiting nearly half an hour, we left and went to the restaurant down the street. \n\nBOTTOM LINE: The food is great, but old habits seem to die hard. I really want Stacked to succeed, so I hope our last experience was only a fluke.",
"Sweet baby Jesus with sriracha on top, these are some fantastic burgers. I had the Greek, with feta and kalamata spread and pickled veggies. Nice sweetness on all of that salty goodness. The sriracha burger was amazing--juicy and spicy deliciousness. Another had the Wakey Wakey, a blend of ground chuck and pork with cheese and a fried egg. All cooked to perfection. And the fries? I could have made a meal of those fries alone, along with some sriracha ketchup for dipping. Yes, there's a lot of sriracha, and no, that's not a bad thing. Stacked has my burger business.",
"Love, love, love. Great burgers, huge selection. Love the build you own form you can fill out if you want it that way. Apps were good, had pretzels, fried pickles and wings. Had a happy hour special. Like the look. They also offer breakfast on weekends! I will definitely be back. Worth coming by...",
"Saw the advertisement in one of the food magazines or new openings, not 100% sure which but it intrigued me enough to try. I dragged my husband along since burgers are not out of his normal comfort zone. We were greeted right at the front door by a guy we later learned was the owner, it was a little awkward and made me wonder what happens when a staff member doesn't happen to be right there when you walk in......we found out later when a family of about 6 came in and sat down at a large table and no one noticed them (really!) for about ten minutes.\n\nFood: We ordered wings with ranch dressing - very good. I created my own burger, I love this concept! Burger, fried egg, spinach, tomato, fried jalapeño slices, chipotle sauce on sourdough, husband ordered a cheeseburger. He liked his, I loved mine once they replaced the plain jalapeno's with the fried ones I asked for. I really enjoyed the burger, so I would like to go back, also wouldn't mind trying the breakfast.\n\nI am concerned about the service as mentioned above, it doesn't seem as though there is a specific process for greeting and seating people. Our waitress was pleasant enough and seemed a little on top of us for the first part of the service but no where to be found once we got our food and I had to ask someone else to fix the jalapeno issue. The owner stopped by to chat in the beginning and seemed friendly enough if somewhat young and awkward. Hope it will still be open when we venture back again. Some service issues can be overlooked by awesome food but seems like the owner couldn't rectify those issues from prior restaurant, so it doesn't look good",
"We've been back several times, and it does seem that our last experience was indeed a fluke.\n\nGreat food, nice servers, and I love the customizable burger. Keep up the great work.",
"The burgers are awesome!!! Went during lunch time. Surprised it wasn't that busy. The food was great. We didn't wait long to eat. I will definitely go here again!",
"I really liked the burger I had the first time, it was one of the better burgers I have had in ST. The brisket sandwich was ok, but I wouldn't go there for barbecue. It's probably better as a burger topper which seems like what it's intended for anyway. I liked the \"Hey Arnold\" (iced tea, American Honey, lemonade). They should probably just take the bloody marys off of their featured bar menu because they're not that special and they are kinda taking up space.",
"Yummers! I was just browsing on yelp and I found this little jewel not far from my house! 3 minutes away actually! Service was good, our waitress was very attentive. I got the create your own black bean (veggie) burger and my husband got the el fuego burger (I think) He devoured his in minutes and I took my time to enjoy every crunchy pickle, onion, lettuce that was on there. The fries were good, especially with their homemade spicy ketchup! We managed to get out of there with spending no more than $21. It would've been cheaper if I didn't get the soda for $2.25! Besides that I really enjoyed the decor, the friendly staff and the food. 5 stars!"

"Yes, it is a fish market. Surprise Surprise. They just opened a waterfront outdoor bar/restaurant called Olde Bay Cafe. You can have a drink and a sandwich, then walk through the door to buy some fresh caught fish to go. \n\nI don't recall any place like this in downtown Dunedine though. It is a bit Funky! It is more like a fisherman's joint. A character! Actually, I think it is a great idea to have a place like this to rest your feet especially for gents who are tired of waiting their ladies shopping at local antique stores. They will have fun sitting on the deck and chat with fishermen. \n\nThere aren't a lot of customers though since it just opened in late March. The bar serves typical Florida snacks, fish sandwiches and wraps. I tried their fish spread. Fresh ingredients make the difference! \n\nPrice is bit high though, but a place in downtown Dunedin where you can sit on the waterfront deck, watch fish jumping, and if you are lucky, you may spot a dolphin swim by, not mention the friendly host as funky as the bar itself who will carry a great conversation with you about where the great spots to fish. \n\nAdd all these factors in, the higher price is justified. So guys, give it a try and don't worry about our ladies. We go shopping till we drop.",
"Fresh cobia sandwich was very tasty. Their fish spread was probably the best I've had. I would prefer more fresh veggies on the side, like jalapenos, celery and salt free crackers.",
"There are very few places like this! You can get a beer and eat a fish taco and you are sitting in the harbor watching the sea life. Or you can order wonderful wine and have a fish dinner. \nThe fish they serve is mainly fresh caught from locals. (One of the boats docks in the slip adjacent to the restaurant!) They serve fish that is spearfished, and single line caught. The oysters are served at their prime. They smoke some of the fish right on the premises. \n\nThey have a wide variety of local and microbrewery beers. Too cool!\n\nDog friendly.",
"This is a fabulous place for great food, atmosphere and service!! We can bring our dogs and view the beautiful sunsets. This place is a MUST!!!",
"Dog friendly, casual atmosphere, good parking and on the water. VERY laid back, with fresh fish. It's a little pricey for what you get... but there are very few places to get Hogfish regularly. I had the Hogfish taco, and it was very good but a little overcooked/dry. My date had the Hogfish platter, but honestly I felt like \"platter\" was a bit of an overstatement. The Ahi tuna appetizer wasn't what I expected as it was cooked more than a sear and wasn't served with wasabi/soy but still had a good taste. Good casual date spot, though I couldn't believe the live music was packed up at 7pm! All in all, good food and a good time.",
"After hearing of this place not knowing of it's existence...where have I been? Had a look at the daily specials and settled on a starter of smoked mullet, OMG, seriously was expecting the standard smoked fish spread BUT instead two perfectly smoked mullets arrived, leaving us practically licking any remaining morsels of flesh from the skin...yum! The next best thing to arrive was the Lane Snapper sandwich, perfectly prepared Tasty Fish! If you like Cider, pear cider that is you may be impressed, however, my only suggestion is upgrade to a real cider...Strongbow anyone? Atmosphere is wonderful, servers pleasant and management superb. Next time you find yourself in downtown Dunedin, wander on down to the dock, you will not be disappointed.",
"I'd been hearing about this place for weeks and finally had an excellent reason to visit. It's not often I have had managers/owners impress me with the level of service they are trying to achieve and it's a shame so our visit to Olde Bay Cafe was a pleasant surprise. There was a little glitch with our order but the way it was handled will have me going back for many years. It doesn't harm that they have amazingly fresh fish to delight you taste buds. Great view too :)",
"Great prices great food and great atmosphere. We had the crab cakes which were full of crab and hardly any filling. We also loves the buffalo chicken dip appetizer.",
"great place. we often walk there, sit on the deck, watch the sunset, have a great microbrew from the rotating selection of drafts.",
"Was looking for Florida flair that serves fresh food near the water without the touristy touch of the larger places near the beach. This is IT! \n\nRestaurant is part of a (smallish) fish market. Some seating indoor, some covered, most outside on a nice patio facing the marina. Chose to sit at a high table, low table, or bar type table facing the water. Great place at sunset.\n\nStaff was very nice and attentive. Food was very good all around without frills. No white tablecloths here or expensive china - just good casual sea food. Had a selection of 4 freshly caught fish of the day with various sides - all good. \n\nGreat beer selection (tap and bottle) with something for everyone - from your standard light beers to micro-brews from around the US - it's all there.\n\nReasonably priced. Ample parking. Bonus: Walk across the street into old town Dunedin afterwards for some ice cream."

"New Vietnamese Restaurant with an emphasis on Pho. It's a small restaurant next to Weinrich's bakery not far from the Willow Grove mall. Was pleased with atmosphere, very pleased with the service. The restaurant is small, clean, simple and stylish. We were there on a Friday night and it was very busy by 7 PM. I don't think they take reservations.\n\nThe Pho dishes (soups) were excellent. The spring rolls were a bit doughy and could have had some more zest, and some more mint. The entrees we had (#32 and #35- don't remember the names) were a bit lukewarm instead of piping hot. The flavors were good and the portions large. Much better is Little Saigon in Atlantic City, but that's a 70 mile drive. We'd go back to Pho & BEyond for sure. Oh, It's a BYOB.",
"Small but elegant Vietnamese restaurant situated on a small street in Willow Grove. The place has a concise but adequate menu that pretty much had the usual choices that most Vietnamese restaurant has. I tried the spring roll for the appetizer and they weren't the best I've had but not the worse. The real gem was their Pho. I thought the dish had a wonderful broth and the mixture of meat and vegetable was nice. It probably helped that I had a sore throat but it really made me appreciate it even more. My wife had the vermicelli noodle dish and while she didn't praise it she didn't complain so I think that was good one as well. I would definitely go there again and it's a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.",
"Such a refresshing addition to an area lacking in culture & decent dining options. Staff is great, food is delicious. Vietnamese hogies are perfect for lunch!",
"To be honest, I was a bit skeptical how good the pho would be when I first walked in because it was too clean and seemed a bit fancy. I've had pho from another place that was fancy and clean on the inside and their pho was not that great and seemed like it took 30 minutes to cook their pho.\n\nThis place, however, was much different. Very good service and their pho (soup and noodles) were pretty top notch. The noodles were definitely one of the better pho noodles I've had. They did have somewhat of a limited selection on pho (no tripe options, =D) and I had to ask for my pho without the meatballs (which seemed to be in every pho option), but besides those minor inconveniences, this is definitely a pho place I would return to and recommend for any pho lover.",
"This place is so cute! The bathroom was very very clean, the decorations were nice. It's kinda pricey for a bowl of pho, but honestly you get your money's worth. Usually I never get enough noodles but at this place i had plenty left over. The broth was delish. My husband even liked it! The only thing that they don't have is rainbow ice!!",
"very impressed with their pho!! this is an unassuming place, but the prices are very reasonable for the size of meals, the food is fresh, the place is clean. i will definitely be going back for the pho, which was absolutely amazing!",
"Nice, clean little restaurant with very friendly, helpful staff. Food is good, prices are very reasonable, and best of all? Banh mi is now a permanent menu item.",
"Had dinner there on the recommendation of two friends. As another reviewer said, it is an unassuming place. The dining area is open and welcoming. Service is gracious and prompt. The food is excellent and the portions are very generous for the price. Overall, it is a very welcome presence in our neighborhood, and we will be going there frequently.",
"Had lunch here today, very nice ambience (especially given the location), new feel and clean, expedient service, and one of the best bowls of pho I've had in the burbs, all at a very reasonable price. Looking forward to trying more dishes, and going for dinner soon.",
"We went when this place first opened and they were kind enough to help recreate a bun combo we like at Vietnam restaurant in Philly.Super nice friendly people.I hope our community will support this clean reasonably priced family run business.Our other visits have been great. They have plenty of parking in the back and we now know to come in the back door."

"My husband and I just found this restaurant located in a tiny shopping plaza next to a TJ Maxx. The restaurant is huge and would be great to visit at night with friends and sing some Karaoke. The atmosphere is really great and we were sat in a private booth. There is a full size movie projector screen that plays Korean music videos, very nice.\n\n The menu is very extensive for Korean food, one of the largest selections I have ever seen. Even larger than the places in NY & CA. We did not see grills at the tables, but on their website they say that they have a grill. Their prices are about $7.00-10.00 for appetizers, Jigae (stew) about $17.99, BBQ $21.99-31.99, Grilled whole small sized fish ($12.99), Myun & Ddukboki $13.99. \n\nI have NEVER seen JaJangMyun and Ddukboki on a menu together at the same place, to my excitement! The food was amazing! We had BBQ spicy pork w/ lettuce wraps, shreeded beef stew, and JaJangmyun (black bean noodles). \n\nThey give you 6 banchan w/ a cube of stacked whole leaf kimchi, the real deal. They give you a complimentary dessert drink. Next time we go, I want to try the Haemool Pajeon (seafood pancake). \n\nThey also have a full liquour bar, so they are one of the only places in the Bay Area to serve Soju. Check out their website for photos, entire menu with photos, and pricing.\n\nWe did not order raw sushi, since my friend got really bad food poisoning from eating their sushi one night. Also, they do not serve Chinese food, just Korean food and sushi. When we were there, there was a woman trying to order \"General's Chicken,\" which was pretty funny.\n\nIf you are a fan of Korean food and love a relaxed, excellent personable service, atmosphere, great food, great drinks, then this is the best place in Tampa for you!",
"I've been meaning to review this place since early October, & I'm kind of surprised to find that someone else has already reviewed it -- it's always nearly empty when we go.\n\nI'd like to give Rice 3.5 stars, but because it has such a local, family-run feel to it I'm bumping it up to 4 rather than down to 3. The food is great, but the prices are WAY high. I was in shock when I sat down & looked at the menu -- you'd never see gouging like that in California! It must be because the place is HUGE, and always empty.\n\nIt's in a really odd location for a restaurant / lounge like this, which must be why they don't get much clientele. & did I mention that it's HUGE? My fiancee's parents, who've lived here for years (dad for his whole life), said the place used to be a cafeteria. I can see that. It's absolutely cavernous.\n\nThe first time we went in, we were asked if we wanted sushi or BBQ, & I was massively craving Korean BBQ, so I asked for that, & we were led to the (totally empty) back room, with grill-tables where you can grill your own meat (which is how you're supposed to do it). But the prices! My god, the prices! With Korean BBQ, you're supposed to order a variety of meats & grill them -- at $20-30 per item, there's no way in HELL I'd order more than one, & I'm hesitant to even order one! I wanted bulgogi, but they said that since that's something they cook in the kitchen, they'd have to move us to a regular table. Okaaaaaaaay....\n\nThe bulgogi was, in their defense, pretty damn good. & the mackerel is amaaaaaaazing (but then, I LOVE mackerel, so...). The bibimbap is pretty delicious, & though it's not the best I've ever had, I can never resist bibimbap (but seriously? over $10 for bibimbap??), especially in a hot stone bowl.\n\nThe server is always the same guy when we go in, a friendly young man who's very attentive. The tea is tasty, & they always provide 4-6 dishes of Korean pickles, which are different every time. I've never been disappointed by anything I've had here & I'll certainly keep going back because it's great Korean food in a city where I haven't found very much of that, but man, I really wish it wasn't so damn expensive!",
"I found this place on yelp while looking for a place to have lunch with my husband. When I stepped inside, I saw the interior and thought it was pretty cool. This place is very big and nobody else was there besides us. We were seated at their booth table. \n\nWe ordered a Bibimbab and bulgogi lunch box. The lunch box comes with a california roll so I asked the waitress if I could switch to spicy salmon or something since I do not eat a california roll. She said she had to check with the owner, went inside and came back with a yes. Bulgogi was not bad at all....my husband liked it. However the bibimbab was very bland and tasteless. Honestly I had much better korean meals at other places. \n\nI realize that this is one of the few where they have BBQ grill at tables in Tampa and for that I think it gets good reviews. Maybe I did not order the right food so I would like to come back for their BBQ, but I can see how quickly the bill gets high at this place. I have to say this place is overpriced for their BBQ. \n\nP.S. I saw their soy sauce bottles and the tap was dirty. The soy sauce was dried up on the tap and clogged so no soy sauce came out of the bottle when I tried to use it. I am not sure about the cleanliness about this place either. \n.",
"This is a late review..but the one and only time i went here...I was sorely disappointed. I don't know if they were having an off day or they couldn't manage two large parties at once. We came in late at night and there was only one other large party there. We had probably about 10 people in our party, but let's just say I felt that most of the night we were serving ourselves and they just took the order, brought out the food, and cleaned up (after we left). We constantly had to go find our servers, ask about our food, fill our own water (since there was a pitcher of water nearby), and get the bill so we can leave. We had the korean BBQ and some regular items, but to make things short and simple. The korean BBQ was not worth the price and it didn't taste all that great, and what is up with the electric grill....and when they tell you each portion is meant for one person only, they weren't kidding...The only thing that was actually good out of the many items we ordered was Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap.\n\nI really wanted to like this place...it's the only place in tampa that i've seen that has korean BBQ (table side grill style)..and a large list of those non-typical korean food.. ugh..but I was so disappointed.",
"This place use to be good until one night for dinner my husband and I went there for the buffet. The food was cold. It looked like it was sitting there fir hours. The name tags of each item were not in the right place. The bathrooms did not have any hand soap. Hmmmm. Isn't this where the cooks go to the restroom? The manager wasn't helpful and definitely did not come to terms. We probably won't step foot in there again.",
"Korean BBQ is all about fun and protein! The meats are awesome but if you don't eat meat there are about 1,000 side dishes that are mostly vegetables. Who knew kim chee pancakes were so yummy??? We had to stay for the karaoke - it was a fun evening!",
"I tried Rice because it was close to Pine Tree Cafe, another Korean restaurant on the same street. The interior was a bit plain. It's very roomy but also really dimly lit. I felt a bit uneasy because there weren't that many people dining. There was also a large screen playing Korean music in the room.\n\nI was a bit shocked about the prices. They were the most expensive I've ever seen. But I thought the food was going to match the prices so I stayed to try them. Unfortunately, the food tasted okay. There was nothing special to anything I ordered. I tried the $85 variety meal for 2 people to feed four of us. I even ordered the black bean noodles to-go to try. I was so sad that the left overs weren't that good either. I won't be back anytime soon.",
"I mainly come here for their Korean BBQ which you can't find anywhere in the Tampa Bay area. They have grills that you can grill up your choice of meat like in the dramas. I've been going to Rice for years and love how massive their arrangement of banchans are. \n\nNot super cheap compared to the West side Korean bbq (cali) but it's all we have unless you make it at home. This place is really large and when I say large I mean it! They have tables for normal dining and tables in the back with the grills. There's electric grills and also charcoal. \n\nService isn't the best because I've had some pretty bad service here and was embarrassed many of times with my guests. I have not been coming here as often as before because of this and have found it cheaper to make it at home. None the less if you're itching to try Korean food then this is the place to go especially for those grills. There's also a Korean restaurant across the street if this place is not to your liking.",
"There are only two Korean restaurants in the Tampa area where you can grill at your table (not on a portable device)- Rice and Han Il Kwan. Trust me, Rice is a much nicer place with friendly service. \n\nAway from the grill tables are private booths--- that is where I like to sit and relax.\n\nThe owner of Rice also as a Meet-up group at the restaurant once a month for dinner and karaoke for $20 a person. Which I highly recommend for someone that has always wanted to sample everything that Rice has to offer for a flat fee. \n\nOn another note...There have been many people posting that this eatery is a buffet. It is most definitely NOT a buffet. It may have been three or more years ago, but never since I have been coming here.",
"I tried this place because I (regrettably) purchased a Groupon. I came in with a friend during prime dinner hours only to find one other couple dining. A feeling of concern came over me... which was later justified. I didn't feel like trying the Korean BBQ and decided on other menu items. I'm kind of wishing I tried the BBQ because I was extremely unimpressed with what we ordered.\n\nMy friend and I decided on the Dinner for 2 which comes with Bulgogi, Galbi, Grilled Pike, Bean Paste Soup, Steamed Egg, and assorted banchan (side dishes). Along with that I ordered the Kimchi Stew. The galbi was tender, very flavorful, and probably the best of everything that hit the table. The steamed egg was a close second. The bulgogi, on the other hand, didn't seem like it was marinated enough because it was lacking a lot of flavor. The grilled pike wasn't bad, but it was a bit labor intensive to eat. The bean paste soup had great flavor and I favored that soup over the Kimchi Stew which had a odd tasting tangy-ness that wasn't pleasant. I typically love banchan at most Korean restaurants and this place definitely had the biggest selection of banchan I've ever seen in Tampa, but sadly there were only a couple that tasted good. The battered and pan-fried zucchini was, by far, the best one. Most of the banchan items tasted and looked old... which was very disappointing.\n\nThe service was okay, but very slow. My biggest complaint comes from the fact that banchan is typically unlimited. If you want some more of a particular item, it usually isn't a problem to get a refill. This is the case with all the items EXCEPT the pan-fried zucchini. I asked for a refill and the lady proceeded to explain the cooking process and told me that it's the only one I can't have because it takes too long to make, despite the fact that I was willing to wait for it. And that answers the question as to why it's the best tasting-- because it's made to order.\n\nDefinitely NOT the best Korean restaurant in the Tampa area, in my personal opinion. If I come back, I'll have to try the Korean BBQ."

"Very reasonably priced and super delicious. The tacos are HUGE. Loved the chips and salsa bar. I will be a eegular",
"So money!",
"Very good food. This is \"fast food\" Mexican but tastes like real restaurant. I will try the drive through another time.",
"I tried the drive through and the wait was very minimal. Your food is prepared when ordered. The food was excellent and hot when I got it home. No need to heat it up. The portions are huge. My husband and I could have shared it. I will go back and I love the drive through and would recommend it to everyone.",
"Good food! A little greasy but definitely will be back. I LOVE the fact that it's 24 HOURS!!! Wish more places were!! My boyfriend and I eat here frequent since we live close by. Check it out!",
"This. This little joint has brought me out of yelp retirement. I was in the mood for Mexican and remembered this place that went in by my dry cleaners. I swung by not really knowing what to expect but was far from disappointed! \n\nThe inside had a small area to order your food with a larger dining area. I decided to get my grub to go. After perusing the menu, I went with a couple carnitas tacos and a streak fajita burrito. \n\nHoly molé (see what I did there?) it was delicious. The tacos were like the Tamale place on steroids. Nice sized corn tortilla, topped with perfectly cooked carnitas, pico and guacamole. The burrito, well I think I had a dream about this burrito. Expertly seasoned steak, peppers, onion, rice, beans and cheese. PERFECTION! \n\nSeriously, not your typical Mexican joint but the best I've been to in I don't know how long",
"This place is very good and reasonably priced. The reason for a 4 and not a 5 was the taco tortilla was kind of chewy but the burrito was very good (asada). I like the 24 hour availability so when I am drunk I can get a SOBER Driver to get a late night burrito. As a taco terminator I WILL BE BACK",
"This joint deserves our support for providing affordable and delicious tacos and burritos. Leonardo's bridges the gap between the street taco and typical Mexican restaurant",
"I LOVE this place!!! I grew up in San Diego where there are tons of 24 hour taco shops that are cheap & tasty...known by names such as Robertos/Alberto's/Abiertos/Rodbertos etc. This taco shop is very much like one of those shops. \n\nThus far I've only been through the drive-through and mostly ordered the 3 rolled tacos with guacamole...which was my favorite back home. The order of guacamole and chips turned out more like nachos with loads of cheese. I hate cheese so therefore could not eat it, and the cheese was not advertised on the description...as it said guacamole and chips.\n\nThis is definitely among the best Mexican food I've eaten in Indianapolis...and trust me...I've been searching. For the price...it's definitely the best. I do think the only reason the place is not packed is because the location and drive-through signage looks too shady and non-chain restaurant-like to attract your normal Hoosier. \n\nIt's probably not a fancy decorated restaurant inside and the food is not gourmet...so if you expect either of these...you'll probably be disappointed. \n\nIt's open 24 hours!!! This is one of the very few places to eat in the area that is open all the time...other than Taco Bell.\n\nThe tortas are good as well, but I wish they'd chop up the steak because sometimes it's a little dry and when I take a bit it's tough to get a bite without pulling the entire slab of meat out. \n\nIt's a 40 minute round-trip for me to eat here, so I try to run my errands in the area when I have time to grab a bite.",
"this place is awesome, delicious, and affordable. very kind costumer services. love it,"

"I like the Marzen beer. I came for a business function so the food was served buffet style. I don't know much on New Orleans food but the jambalaya was pretty good.",
"I always enjoy a Gordon Biersch beer! Cool waitresses but they freak out and ignore you the more you drink. Apparently they can only put up with a little bit of drunken chatter. Nice and simple atmosphere with the option of patio wining and dining.",
"I assume this is for Gordon Biersch Brewery, based on the other two reviews. It's a typical chain restaurant/brewery atmosphere, with lots of TV's by the bar where we ate. The food was good, though we felt our service was a little lacking (though we were a large table of probably 10 or so). I recommend the hummus appetizer as a meal - it was delicious!",
"Ehhhh...\n\nWe didn't know this before we ate here...but this is your typical brewery chain restaurant. We were disappointed because we wanted some local flavor, and got this dump. \n\nThe food was pretty bad and \"chain\" like. Think having a bad mean at Applebees with more salt. Their seafood was sub par and the appetizers were pretty bland. \n\nId never go here again. So not much of a lengthy review needed. Just stay away.",
"The story you are about to read is true.\n\n7:08 pm. My partner and I have had a rough day moving in a tradeshow and need a quick bite to eat. We are staying in the humble warehouse district and plan on making it out to some of the local fare later in the week. For tonight, we decide to play it safe and set the bar at a reasonable level.\n\nGordon Biersch is indeed a chain, bar style restaurant, but that is a bit too cruel in my opinion. That places it in the same category as other bar chains typically named for days of the week like Tuesday's or Friday's. Biersch is as close to these as an internal affairs detective is to a beat cop.\n\nThe one signature mark that draws me to Biersch like an under aged kid to a lenient liquor store clerk is their garlic fries. These are a sinful pleasure. Potato cut and slathered in a very generous amount of minced garlic. Enough to make the most eager date or vampire fanboy run for the spearmint.\n\nNow, could you find finer fare in the big easy? Of course you can. But is that really the point of a good review? You want to know if you are going to get your money's worth if you and your co-workers come here. I think that answer is yes. Not where I would take a date, but great if you are just off of the tradeshow floor and not quite up to the true, authentic New Orleans. This is a fine break from the Etouffee and Beignets.",
"This used to be a great place to go. They had a great beer selection and the food was good. Recently though, the food has gone down hill and they will advertise a certain kind of beer and then tell you that they aren't carrying it anymore. The last few times we have gone there to eat, it seems like something is wrong: the food is cold, takes over an hour to get your food or they completely forget you ordered in the first place. The garlic potatoes are great.\n\nIt is a chain restaurant like Fridays but with a different feeling throughout the place. Don't try to reserve it for a special event, they never call you back.",
"The gumbo and pulled pork sandwich were both good. The only drawback was that the soup appetizer reached my table after the entrée. Don't know if it was the server or the kitchen who screwed up.",
"Better than I thought, and I am not so easy to please. They had a great happy hour from 4 to 630, with discounted drinks and a 4.95 app menu. We stayed for the entree, and I was pleasantly surprised with my steak, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. Jimmy liked the fish and chips, but thought there was too much garlic powder on the french fries. Go to their website and get on their email mailing list for special offers and coupons when you dine. They validate parking at Harrahs, so that is a star right there, avoiding the unpleasantness of street or paid parking. A good visit, and I was delightfully pleased!",
"Blah. It's a chain that's about its beer, which is average. For a chain, it's upscale compared to Chili's or Applebee's, but with all the food New Orleans has to offer, it's not really worth the wasted meal (that goes for locals and tourists). Their food is typical American fare--pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, seafood, steaks, etc.\n\nThe ambiance is that of a large sports bar. It's a big, fairly loud restaurant with many televisions showing multiple games.\n\nI really don't recommend this place, but it's not like you'll get sick from going there.",
"Friends, food and football. And beer. That was the on the menu for last night. Bunch of guys talking football and watching the HOF game. I had never been here, but I thought the interior space was nice for a glorified brewhouse. \n\nI also thought the service was a little slow, but the NY strip was pretty good. The Cobb salad looked much better than my Chicken Caesar salad. They do validate, so park in the Harrah's garage (enter on Convention Center Blvd) and take elevator down to first floor. Kinda pricey."

"Great place to go for brunch with the family. Large and spacious restaurant sitting right on Harbor Island. Great views of the water and very well decorated. Must love the sushi and smoked salmon that is available since that is mainly what this restaurant is known for. The variety of food for brunch is really good and there is a waffle, meat, and pasta stations to customize your order plus the other \"bars\" availble at other typical brunches.",
"This place is KICKING on a Friday night and filled with very beautiful people. They even have dancers and occasionally a guy who plays with fire. Worth checking out if you really want to party hard. \nFriday Nights: $10 cover\nDress Code: no sneakers, collared shirt (guys)",
"I love Jackson's Bistro-Bar Sushi! When I used to work on Harbor Island I would often eat there with friends and have some California Rolls or a Bento Box for lunch. The nightlife there is pretty good as well with bands playing at times and of course a full bar. The view is also great, you can see the sea from there and there is a boat dock right next to it.",
"3/07 Visiting from west coast, I cannot believe Jackson's is such a gigantic awesome place(s). And I thought that one can find big things only in Texas, uh uh!\n\nLocated on the Tampa-facing side of Harbor Island, it is only 15 minutes walk from downtown, via a tree-lined bridge (lit up at night). The individual bistro, bar, and sushi area are huge and spacious.\n\nDespite a busy Saturday night we were seated after 15 minutes. The interior is well appointed, with good view of the waterfront. Outside on the step-down patio on 2 levels, dining tables were full, all facing the water.\n\nWe ordered 2 sushi rolls. The red dragon roll was arranged like a dragon, with tuna slices over avocado slices on top of a California roll. The raw tuna was fresh, and I wished the slices were thicker. The volcano roll was most unusual and yet tasty. Mildly spicy chopped salmon was cooked and layered on top of a cool crab roll, arranged in a round mound. I bet you cannot find this in Tokyo!\n\nWe also had the oak-grilled chicken breast bow-tie pasta. It was a simple but fulfilling dish. A pesto cream sauce (thicker than I liked) combined the goodness of broccoli, Roma tomatoes, and kalamata olives. The cubes of chicken meat were tender and delicious.\n\nThe server was effective, friendly, and kept informing us of the progress in the kitchen (super busy night).\n\nJackson's offers a view, good food and made us feel at home. Now that's really special blessing for visitors.",
"Nice restaurant with a lovely view and decent sushi. Good drinks! Very relaxing place to dine. Very \"Florida\"....",
"Here's the scoop on Jackson's Bistro-bar. The food isn't fabulous, but the atmosphere is completely addictive. I should know as I seem to end up there at least once a week for a glass of wine.\n\nIf you go, order the sushi as it's best thing on the menu. I like all the tuna rolls, but the volcano roll is also a good choice and so is the lobster roll. The lobster roll is a little pricey, but it's filling so it's worth it. \n\nThe wine isn't that bad either. They have a reasonable selection of wines by the glass that won't bankrupt you. In fact, there are a few on the list that go for as little as $6.\n\nBut like I said before, it's the atmosphere of Jackson's that has won my heart. The patio is right on the water so it's perfect for watching the sun set or just relaxing after a hard day at work. The inside bar is also pretty good as the crowd is nice mix of people between the ages of 25 to 45.\n\nI usually take off for Howard Street after my sushi, but for those that want to hang out, around 10 p.m. the place turns into a happening night club with a techno room, an 80s room and a Latin-inspired room. It's not bad if you are into that kind of thing.\n\nBut for me...give me the laid back patio. I'm all about lounging under the stars.\n\nPS Just an FYI....Sunday brunch is also excellent.",
"the price range estimate is a bit too high - i think i spent a total of $30 with drinks included. the food was very good but the view was unbeatable. my dinner mate, once a local in tampa, informed me that friday nights witness a transformation into a local \"hot spot.\" fortunately, we cleared out well in advance.",
"Everything is great here except the crowd. If you don't like snobby, insecure (you know, the guy driving the Hummvee), rude, snooty, shallow people, you might want to skip this place.\n\nIf on the crowd wasn't so pretentious! There seems to be a lot of older men trolling for gold-digging broads (and vice versa). I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I watch these little dramas unfold.\n\nThey sort of deserve each other, don't they? Great place, if you could remove the pretentious and lame attitudes of the vast majority of the crowd. Sorry if this hurt any feelings but we all know what the guy driving the hummvee is \"defending\" against, don't we? \n\nIf you don't like fake people, consider yourself warned!",
"So, despite living in Boston, I feel that I am well-qualified to review Jackson's, given that I was there every.single.day while I was in Tampa. \n\nLet's start with the (really) good:\nThe view is awesome.\nThe sushi is really good -- super fresh and verrry reasonably priced.\nThe bar menu. (which I personally found to be better than the regular menu!) Edemame? Count me in!\n\nThen there's the rest: \nThe crowd is totally mixed; I don't think it was especially snobby or especially collegiate. Then again, I wasn't trolling for dates, so. \nThe lunch menu is ok but not great; I will say, however, that the sandwiches are HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. \nThe dinner menu is really \"meh\". You can tell that they're trying to have the classic \"upscale seaside dining experience\" but where their prices matched the dim dining room/jazz music atmosphere, they certainly did NOT match the kakhi-short wearing crowd out on the deck. The food on the menu was far from inspiring; I'd stick with sushi if you end up there late-night. \n\nAlso, whaaaaaaaaat was with the Friday night dance party?! It was as if Jackson't was a sports bar that suddenly had a change of heart. By about 10pm it was was Club Jackson's - packed with young peeps and lots of loud hip-hop. Interesting. \n\nAnyhow, if I ever return to Tampa, I'll definitely be back here.",
"One of the best waterfront views in Tampa. Great romantic place to take a date or get drinks with friends. Jade and I spent her first night in Florida there and had the swordfish and grouper, both very good. We also ordered a couple of sushi rolls that were reasonably priced and fresh. We spent $100 total including tip for our two entrees and two sushi rolls and non-alcoholic drinks.\n\nOverall, above average food, a bit pricey, but you're paying for the great view overlooking the bay and downtown Tampa."

"Sometimes you just can't make it to the farmer's markets that are offered almost everyday in SB county. This place is a great substitute. Fresh produce, awesome selection of local wines, and great prices and service.",
"I love going to this place! Fantastic selection of local wines, and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful if you have questions. Their selection of organic produce is amazing, I always leave with bags of stuff when I shop here.",
"Awesome. Reminds me of a smaller version of Berkeley Bowl.\n\nLimited selection on some of the items, but there is a great selection of local fruits/veggies/wines and a decent selection of other organic items. \n\nConvenient location by Ledbetter Beach/Fess Parker to pick up some picnic items for a day at the beach.",
"If only every city had a Tri-County store, we'd all be healthy, happy, and a whole hell of a lot richer. The food is as fresh as any farmer's market anywhere, the staff know every inch of the store and have no problem letting you in five minutes after closing, and the prices are super low compared with the local grocery chains.\n\nNo need to wait for the bi-weekly farmer's market; you can get whatever you're stomach desires!",
"This is about as close as Santa Barbara gets to Whole Foods until they finally build a Whole Paycheck out here where there's actually people who live here who can afford it! Place is partially open-air with a good selection of items although definitely smaller than a WF. Still, it's funny I was mentioning to someone about a hard to find digestive aid pill that I uncovered at a Natural Products trade show and there were the fliers for it right in front. Bought it right on the spot. Wine selection is what you'd expect for an area known to wine and one of the better beer selections in a region that doesn't have a BevMo or anything like it. Nice store but just not enough options compared to those guys from Austin. They should think about adding or enlarging before the mothership arrives.",
"I went here twice while on vacation and loved this little market. If I was local I could definately see myself being here on a regular basis. They had a machine that was juicing oranges while you watched. They also had a variety of fresh pressed juices that were very good and very reasonably priced (less than $2 for a quart of lemonade. I think I will, thanks).\n\nThe downside is that it is small and doesn't have everything you want in terms of both fruits and veggies and other things. I know you say that is what trader joes or safeway is for and you are right, but I have seen better variety in smaller places. The variety they have, however, is high quality.",
"After reading other reviews from fellow yelpers, I knew I had to try this place out. I've been trying to eat healthier recently...ie. less candy, oreo's, soda's, and more fruits, veggies, whole grains. Well, this store really helped me out with that! \n\nThere is so much good, local and fresh stuff here. It was fun to look at each label and find out where stuff was made. Ie. pie's from Solvang, lemons from Goleta (represent!), bread from Our Daily Bread, etc. I had to find the fresh juice squeezer which Michael B. mentioned. It was a cool machine that automates the squeezing process. They were doing oranges when we were there, but I imagine they they also do their lemons there. In addition to freshly squeezed orange juice and lemonade, they also had carrot juice (ew!) and strawberry lemonade...Plus a few others that didn't catch my fancy.\n\nI got to try out the fresh peanut butter machine for my first time EVAR. It's easy enough-- choose whatever size plastic container you want, hit the 'on' switch, and watch as poop-y looking peanut butter comes out of the machine. They also had almond butter, yummm.\n\nOverall this store is smaller than your average Albertson's, so keep in mind that you may not be able to get everything you want here. But what they do have is fantastic food from local farmers, bakers, and shops.\n\nP.S. I added pics of my haul-- everything I got was $44!",
"this place rules the organic produce scene. the best thing about this place is a super hot guy named Andrew Carruthers. He is offically known as the \"grocery manager\" but I think he should be called the \"offical smiley face nice helper guy\" because he is always in a good mood and always there to answer questions about new products the store is carrying. He knows the store inside and out which is great because sometimes I have really strange questions about ingredients because of my special diet. (high sugar, low protien carb overload) yeah I know its a bit inside but hey they mocked enstien and look at him now huh. Anyway if you get chance to come by this place do it, you wont be disapointed. Everything is great and say hello to Andrew and be ready for the biggest smile you have ever seen and a warm greeting hello and hug (maybe). I havent been able to stump him yet on a product and he tells me to keep the questions comming so maybe someone out in yelp land can stump him. Who knows. We should get a contest going to see if we can stump him. Winner gets a hug from Andrew. Yaaaaaaaaaa hugs from Andrew!!!!!!!!",
"I love this place, the produce selection is great and beautiful, and the overall prices are really good. It's a great substitute for farmer's market. They do have some stuff that isn't local, but the source of the product is listed quite plainly, which is nice - and very \"Santa Barbara\". \n\nAnd (shh)... it's usually less expensive to get stuff here than the farmers market......",
"Nice alternative to Trader Joes in the East Beach area of Santa Barbara. Lots of fresh produce & fruit. No meats. It's a good place if you want to load up on stuff for your vacation trip, college dorm, or sex fantasy!"

"This place combines three of some of my favorite things: 1) Jazz and 2) A kick A$$ wine list and 3) Good Eats. I even think that Rachel Ray featured this restaurant in her $40/day, Nashville, TN edition. The menu is seasonal, just as a good restaurant's menu should be, and features the most creative flavors with the most classic. I would classify the cuisine as Modern American. There is a bit of Italian, a bit of French and a bit of Southern thrown into the mix. One of the most memorable dishes that I had was actually a delectable beef tenderloin paired with a California Cabernet. For dessert I partook of a modern spin-off of a creme brulee...absolutely worthy of an award of some sort. Just as a warning, get there early for dinner because you want to be well through your meal before the jazz starts (promptly at 7PM). Also, don't expect to hear jazz past 10PM, this ain't no late night establishment :).",
"I love this restaurant. It's so fancy! Have been there a few times. The dcor and atmosphere are fantastic. The foods are awesome and have a large selection of wines. I love their Duck Breast stuffed with Kumquat and Marcona Almonds wrapped in Serrano Ham with Rosasted Carrot Polenta, Spinach, Fresh Cranberry Emulsion. The staffs are very professional and knowledgeable. This is a great place for a date! It's so romantic! Calling for all Jazz lovers, you must go there. It has live Jazz entertainment. Be prepared to spend $$$, but it's well worth the experience. I believe this is one of the few best restaurants in Nashville.",
"I was pretty disappointed by my experience here. I got all dressed up, brought my Mom out for a night of dining and music. The menu has great options, but my fish was totally overcooked and just didn't have much in the way of flavor. I'd skip it, unless someone else is paying so you don't mind so much when your hopes are dashed.",
"What a fun and classy place to dine and enjoy good wine!!! The whole experience was just awesome. I've heard good things about F Scott's prior to my dining experience and I must say, it lived up to the expectations. \n\nI was dumb to not make a reservation, but that was a blessing in disguise per we were able to hang out at the bar drinking some delicious spanish wine that i've never had while enjoying live jazz. That could have been the end of the night and i would have been satisfied. =] But it only got better as the night went on. \n\nI don't really remember what I had per this experience was several months back, but all I can remember is that I had a great time. All the appetizers and main dishes were great. I'm sorry that I can't name anything on the menu, but the meal consisted of 3 bottles of wine for the three of us. =P There are several things that I would like to note from my experience.\n\n1) Great Ambiance\n2) Great Live Jazz\n3) Great Food\n4) Great Service\n5) Great Wine List\n6) Great Dessert\n\nI definitely LOVED the experience and I would recommend this place as the best restaurant experience in Nashville. That might be a bold statement, but the whole experience was fantastic. I just wish there were more gems like this in Nashville; It would be even better if it didn't hurt my pocketbook so much. =] However, it is a great spot to splurge once in a while.",
"This review just relates to the jazz bar, not the dinning area. Nashville's greatest jazz pianist, Beegie Adair, plays here every Thursday night for no cover charge. Sometimes, she'll have a guest sit in on hron or guitar, but it's typically Beegie in a trio setting. Her group plays everything from old standards to Thelonious Monk. The bar is small and fills up fast - the best way to grab a seat is to either come early (around 530pm) or later (around 9pm) in the evening. Also, the attire in the bar is a little more casual than in the dinning area.",
"Great place. Totally classy, too. This was my second time here and it was just as good as I remembered. I started with the \"Crispy Polenta, Bonnie Blue Farm Chevre, Fig Jam, Roasted Tomatoes\" app, then the \"Baby Arugula, Fresh Herbs, Blue Cheese Vinaigrette, Granny Smith Apples salad.\" Both were outstanding. The jam and chevre on the polenta was wonderfully creamy, and a great contrast to the polenta.\n\nFor the main course I had the \"Duck Breast, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Braised Swiss Chard, Rhubarb Chutney, Pepper Jelly, Caramelized Onion Biscuit.\" I am a sucker for duck at a fancy dinner. The rhubarb chutney went really well with the sweet potatoes and the duck. The Chard was a bit out of place on the dish, but the wonderful biscuit made up for it. \n\nI chose the Coconut Cake for dessert and it was amazing. \n\nFor drinks I started with something called a Leap Year, which was vodka, chambord, and something I can't remember. It was good, but a bit too sweet. With dessert I had a Glenfiddich 18 yr. Very enjoyable. \n\nI'm sure I will go back some time.",
"What a night....\n\nWe showed up at 10 pm on a Saturday night to grab a glass of wine and some dessert. We luckily got a small table in the uber-intimate jazz bar and were warmly welcomed by our waitress. She offered suggestions for white wines and brought out her favorite for us to taste. When we didn't ooh and ahh, she went in the back and tasted it herself. She quickly returned to tell us it was about to go bad and brought out another bottle. Classy.\n\nI ordered the truffled deviled eggs as an appetizer. Couldn't resist. Seriously, you could put truffles on shit and I would probably like it. This is where the night got interesting. My date knows one of the owners, Wendy; and they invited us to their table. Alright, Rahel, get it together and try to be cool...\n\nWe sat in the private room; I believe will be named Zelda soon. I devoured my deviled eggs that were NOT the way mom used to make - in a good way. We then got a tasting of their desserts. Coconut cake - moist and creamy. Rice pudding - for those with not such a sweet tooth. But my favorite was the Elvis chocolate dessert; peanut butter crisps with chocolate sauce and banana ice cream. Made me want to curl my lip and say thank-ya-vury-much....\n\nBut the highlight of the night was the conversation. Picking the brains of a restaurant owner and chef is a foodie's dream. F. Scott's has the essence of what a restaurant is all about...food & friends with a passion. Although I am sure this is the first and only time I will have such an experience, I highly recommend F. Scott's for your next culinary journey in Nashville.",
"This is the ultimate place to eat in Nashville! I love the old charm this restaurant gives! The food was to die for. I ordered a salad that had a lemon vinaigrette and it was wonderful! For my main entree I ordered salmon and it was a large piece of fish. After dinner we decided to go to the lounge and enjoyed the wonderful sounds of jazz and had a wonderful martini! This place is a bit spendy on the mixed drinks...but it is well worth it! I can't wait to go back!",
"My husband took me here for my birthday this past weekend. We adore F. Scott's and look forward to always going...they always have amazing jazz music which provides such a wonderful atmosphere. The martinis are great (well the sakeatini my brother-in-law got wasn't great he said...tasted like a watered down drink). I had the French Raspberry martini and it was amazing! We got there an hour early to sit in the lounge to take in the live band, but it was full, so they opened up their \"overflow\" room which was actually really nice that way our party was able to sit and chat and enjoy our martinis. We had a wonderful server who really knew her stuff! They had the table decorated with confetti for my birthday. I had a salad with the lemon vinaigrette and it is by far my favorite...others at my table had the Caesar salad and said it was exceptional. Most of us had the New York strip and it was bursting with flavor. It was on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes that were wonderful! We also had their delicious vanilla bean creme brulee'. It was such a fantastic dinning experience! We can not wait to go back!",
"I had heard that after 9 pm the restaurant serves all food 50% off, which to my dinner partner and I meant we could actually afford to try it. I had the duck, and she had the prawns. Neither of us thought our food was that great. I still felt like I paid too much even after receiving 50% off the original price. However, I must say the waiter, and service was top notch. I was very impressed with that aspect. The music was one of the reasons why I came, and I was extremely disappointed in that aspect as it seems that only certain nights have the whole jazz band playing. I might go back for appetizers, and a drink to listen to the whole jazz band, but never before 9 pm."

"I spent a while wondering what was happening inside Butcher and Singer. I'd been a longtime fan of Striped Bass and was curious about how that space could be improved. It has been. In spades.\n\nWe've eaten lunch twice at Butcher and Singer this past week. We tried a large set of the menu, and what I can say is, \"Wow.\"\n\nFirst, Butcher and Singer is set up like a throwback classy restaurant like from the 40s. But it's not that Capital Grille stuffiness or pretentiousness, it's the Brown Derby for Philly. The waitstaff is dressed in bow ties and long aprons. There are really comfy leather banquettes that hold 5 or 6 easily. Their leather armchairs are just as good. Oh...the food.\n\nYes, the food. Look, have the filet mignon. We've had five of us there twice, and we all agreed that the filet is the best filet ever. It's seared and finished in butter. (I'm drooling about it right now.) The Delmonico was great -- thick and tangy. We had the burger -- a real monster made from dry-aged beef (who ever had that before) that's worth the money. We've had the whole trout, which was broiled in a lemon sauce and accented with capers. The lobster BLT was tangy and tasty. Same goes for the prime rib sandwich. We have to get there for dinner soon...I really want to try the steak Diane.\n\nOh...the desserts are outstanding, too. Best cheesecake -- the real kind -- ever. It's light and really well done. The carrot cake is sweet and gorgeous. And the Baked Alaska -- wow. Just wow.\n\nI know I didn't describe all the food like a foodie...I'm going to add another review after I've eaten there 10 times. But I would say that Butcher and Singer is a really great addition to the Philly restaurant scene.\n\nOne other thing -- Gina, the General Manager, is also outstanding. She's really enthusiastic about the restaurant and what its intent is. It's a joy walking into a place where the GM is out among the patrons and clearly loves her job and the place. Many points for that -- it tells me that place is really going to be a huge success.",
"Now my obsession with all things \"Mad Men\" related has come full circle. I felt like Don and Betty Draper were going to slide into the large, leather booth right next to us at any moment (at which time I would have had to politely excuse myself while I ignored whatever conversation was going on so I could drool over the foxiest man ever to play an ad exec). The place was hoppin' on a recent Tuesday night, which was sort of surprising, given the whole craptastic economy thing...but I digress. Valet parking was a complete fail, from the fact that it took 15 minutes to get someone to come out and get the car to the 20 minutes we spent waiting to get our car back. Not sure if that's the fault of the restaurant, though, so I'm willing to cut them a break. \n\nThe room itself (the former Striped Bass, which I never had the pleasure of dining at) was lovely; soaring ceilings, ginormous chandeliers, opulent decor and dim lighting - and then there is the mural of ritzy dogs livin' it up at the bar. Cute? Yes. Strange? Absolutely.\n\nRegardless of what I thought of the canine rendering, though, the service was outstanding from the very beginning. Our waiter, Gabriel, gave us detailed explanations for every menu item we asked about, and never disappeared for long. I loved that he stuck nearby in case we needed anything.\n\nAnd the food...mmmmm...I highly recommend you try the crab cake appetizer, as it's one of the best I've ever had (the boy got the Butcher Salad, aka \"Hoagie in a bowl\" and gobbled that baby up). We both had the New York Strip and gasped out loud at the large cut that we were presented with. It was enough meat to feed a small village! I don't know how they did it, but easily it was the most wonderful steak ever created by man. Buttery and juicy inside, slightly crisp and salty outside, it was perfect in every way.\n\nBut my real foodgasm moment came when I cut into the baked hashbrowns. Good God, are these a gift from above or what? Diced potatoes, Vidalia onions and sour cream? I would go back for those alone. And I finally had Baked Alaska for dessert. Words cannot describe how crazy good it was. It's now my new favorite dessert.\n\nI had pretty much resigned myself to not ever being on the Starr bandwagon, but after my dinner here I am singing a different tune. Mr. Starr, you have finally done it. Now I'm a believer.",
"Ok Mr. Star, you got me. I have been to most of your restaurants and while they are always good, I've always felt they were trying too hard. Butcher and Singer gets it so right without looking like it trying. Its the first post of the Star empire that is thematic with out becoming theme restaurant.\n\nDinner was excellent - simple, flavorful and had just a enough surprises.\n\nI started with the Butcher Chop Salad, which was what I now call a hogie in bowl, then on to the main course. New York strip. YUM, perfectly bloody inside and chard on the outside. The chef wasn't shy about serving it up au natural, no fat was trimmed from this cut. Desserts were decidedly old school, don't miss your chance to get a Baked Alaska.\n\nBut the highlight for my was the hash brown. Its like nothing you've tasted, its like the best baked potato out there with all the fixings, coated in crispy shredded potatoes. Do not miss this. I would go back and just order it.",
"It is refreshing to see a Starr endeavor succeed without a clear-cut theme. I admit, I am a fan of nearly all of Starr's restaurants, but Butcher and Singer doesn't feel Starr-ish in the sense that it's not trying so damn hard to find a niche. Sure, it plays off the supperclub thing but all in all it's just a well-done steakhouse (no pun intended). The booths are comfortable, the chandeliers grandiose, and the staff is impeccable. They are knowledgeable and charismatic without being snooty and rude--that is important. The food was generally great, but perhaps my expectations were inflated by the previous posts on Yelp. I had the filet, which was quite good, but not flat out the greatest steak in the history of steaks. It was a great cut of meat which was cooked as I specified (medium rare), but I think that a steak tastes better if the outside of it isn't seared too much--I don't want a thin burned crust enveloping it, which is what my filet had. Just personal preference; two of the six of us declared the steaks the best they had ever had (one was a NY Strip). Also, my caesar salad tasted great, but was bogged down in too much dressing. Creamed spinach, stuffed hashbrowns, and asparagus were excellent sides, and the Cape May oysters to start were devine. Dessert was as-advertised and delicious, and the drinks were made perfectly. GM Gina's the shit.\n\nThe atmosphere gets 5 \"starrs\", food gets just under that so I'll give it 4 stars overall and end up recommending it to anyone interested!",
"Five of my girlfriends and I went to Butcher & Singer the other night as our Christmas present to each other. We were extremely impressed with the whole experience, especially after a questionable time at Parc.\n\nThe service was excellent - I don't remember our waitress's name, but she had a mohawk, so she's hard to miss. She was attentive, but not overbearing, and answered all of our questions knowledgeably. \n\nI started with the tomato and Roquefort salad, which was delicious! Other girls had the east coast oysters, Caesar salad, and onion soup, all of which were very good. For dinner I had the filet, which was cooked to perfection, and the stuffed hash browns which were the highlight of the whole meal. We shared the baked Alaska for dessert which was great as well.\n\nOverall, I would definitely go back, despite the pricey menu.",
"You know what the best sort of steak dinner is? A free one, and I would advise you find your sugar daddy before venturing to B&S for dinner. \n\nThe food and service for our meal were perfect. In fact, they were better than perfect. The salad sang, the oysters danced, and the server could read minds. Lamb chops were so tender they practically melted. A heap of creamed spinach beckoned suggestively, like a sexy green pin-up. \n\nAs with other Stephen Starr joints, they really gouge you on the drink prices. $13 for a 4-ounce absolut martini is highway robbery, but the lighting is so flattering and the leather banquettes are purring to your backside, so you let it go. \n\nRecommended for those with money, who appreciate on-point service and dry-aged cow.",
"For those of you who don't think your reviews make a difference, listen to this...\n\nI returned to B&S after Christmas with my family who was visiting from California. We had a dozen oysters (yum), then I ordered a caesar salad and the surf and turf, which is a Maine lobster tail and petite filet. I noticed that the caesar wasn't swimming in dressing this time, and holy sh*t the steak was incredible--not charred too much on the outside, with great flavor. Oh, and the lobster tail was great too, although you could did pretty much anything in molten butter and I'll like it. When the waiter asked afterwords how everything was, I leveled with him and told him the minor problems I had encountered the first time around, and how great things were this time...that's when he fessed up. He had read my review and noticed my name on the reservation list that night! We really are changing lives here people!\n\nUpdate: unreal steak house, atmosphere, service, and food alike.",
"if you've ever read my reviews before, there is one common theme:\ni love meat. i'll never be a vegetarian. ever.\nso christmas eve, my philly bestie and i decide to go on a splurge.\nthis place is bee-yoo-ti-ful. large, dark, dim lights...all it needs is a swing/big band in the corner, and you've got yourself a scene straight out of a movie.\nthe service was a bit off, but i think it was because it was 9 on christmas even and everyone just wanted to be home. (hey, i'm being nice here!)\nthe steak was well cooked, perfectly coated on the outside, and juicy on the inside. \nbut the best part? the hash browns! ohmigosh, i could eat that all the time!\nso go, treat yourself to the hash browns!",
"Before I ponied up the money to go here for dinner, I wanted to try it out to lunch to see what all the fuss was about. Of course the decor is incredible as the building remains one of the nicest in the city. As an avid steak fan I'm a sucker for anything cow-themed. While the restaurant wasn't too crowded for lunch, we did receive great, attentive service. \n\nOnto the food. I had the burger and the girlfriend had the ribeye sandwich. My burger was fantastic, served on a perfectly crusted bun with lettuce, tomato, charred onions, and thousand island. One of the better burgers I've had in the city. The fries were also delicious, crisp and seasoned. \nThe ribeye was great as well. They're not lying when they say a 'steak sandwich', as the dish is literally a piece of steak on a roll. Nothing chopped or sliced about it. The roll was fresh from Sarcone's and really made the sandwich. While the steak was juicy and tender, it did have a decent amount of fat on it, which is especially difficult to eat around when it's on a roll. I hope the fat on the steak sandwich is not indicative of the rest of their steaks. That would be my only complaint with the entire meal however. The homemade potato chips that it came with were just as delicious as the fries. \n\nAll in all it was what I expected from a Starr joint and then some. Great atmosphere, great service, and very good food. Oh and a little pricey. But good enough to give it a try for dinner.",
"Stephen Starr strikes gold, again. I've been to Butcher & Singer twice; once right before Christmas with a large group of people celebrating a board of directors holiday dinner and once in mid-January with a friend just having a night out. \n\nOn both occasions the service and quality of food was fantastic. The bar was crowded, but I didn't feel as though I had to do jumping jacks in order to get the bartenders attention. The Grey Goose Gimlets that I was drinking were mixed to perfection. The raw bar appetizer, particularly the jumbo lump crabmeat and shrimp cocktail were to die for. I had the Rib Eye steak both times as my entree and it was grilled and prepared (medium) to perfection."

"If you are both a lover of pastries & in or near the Old City section of town & you do not stop by Tartes, you are doing yourself a mega disservice.\nThis place is a mere one block from my abode & it is both a blessing & a curse.\nHow this tiny place churns out the most delectable of fresh treats on an almost daily basis is beyond me. It looks like be literally about 250 square feet inside.\nAt the ordering window you'll find a variety of fruity tarts, cupcakes, cookies, scones & more. The menu changes every day, but stays *basically* the same.\nThe pastries may be a little pricey, but trust me, they are worth each and every cent!",
"Pricey but certainly delicious. It's a tiny little concrete structure where you can watch the pastry chefs mixing and baking. Order up a treat at the window, but you'll have to go elsewhere to enjoy it. I LOVED the blueberry tarts!",
"The outside looks like a parking lot structure painted pink on the outside, but the buttery caramelized sugar smell is a tip off. Everything is freshly baked, you can smell the real butter, watch the pears being poached, the pounds of butter being creamed, that kind of thing. \n\nTartes does mostly commercial business (you might recognize things on the dessert trays at Monk's and Nodding Head for example), but stays open late 9pm on first Fridays to sell out the window. My favorites are probably the key lime pie, any kind of cream pie, the berry and pear or apricot tarts, and the chocolate hazelnut torte/cake. Expect to pay $4.75 for one of the mini tarts- then go to 2nd street and find a bench to people watch and enjoy your buttery tasty treats.\n\nPSA: no skimping on the butter here, so do some extra cardio if you have heart problems",
"I recommend the gingerbread cookies. They are amazing. Paying 1.75 for a cookie is a bit much, but they're pretty big. I'm not sure how their hours are on non-First Friday days, since that's the only time I get cookies there, but if you're in the city for First Friday, you should definitely stop by.",
"If you like cookies, brownies, mini tartes, pies, and assorted pastries this is definitely your place! Though it's small and offers no seating, it makes up for it in taste and consistent quality. The fruit tartes, brownies, and blondies are my favorites! I've been tempted by the cupcakes, key lime pie, and apple dumplings... Soon I will sample these as well! I like walking by this place in the morning as they're baking, it smells so sweet and tasty! The staff is friendly and are blend of Emo rockers / hipsters. They are so delighted in their wares and share that love with their patrons! They are truely happy and estatic when someone buys a sweet treat or tasty morsel from them! They also take special orders, so if you need a cake or pie or box of tartes for a party they're affordable and reliable!",
"My friend was having her birthday celebration in Franklin Square, and I work in Old City, so I figured I'd try a tart from Tartes and see how we all enjoyed it. I heard there might be some attitude to deal with when I went up, so I was a little intimidated, but still not completely unnerved. I went on a Tuesday, when they were closed, actually, but they still had the window cracked and were working in there. I scanned the windows for information - choices, pricing, order-by info., website - nothing. So I was forced to talk to them. They came off as me bothering them, which I probably was, but simply posting some info. might cure their annoyance at me and other future customers. Placed my order, asked about price at the end of the conversation, wanted the tart more than a mean face if I canceled at the end of the convo, so I ran, scared, but hoping my bravery would pay off.\n\nDay 2 - returned for the tart. Wednesdays must be a good day there, because they were helpful and nice and friendly. Maybe my money warmed their hearts, I don't know. Paid and ran without looking in the box. Opened it in the park. Beautiful. My mouth watered from the moment I laid eyes on it. Chocolate-hazelnut like I've never tasted. Too bad for those with allergies. I forgive the attitude. What attitude? Everyone who tasted it hoarded their piece. Totally worth it! Will buy again.",
"For such a small store front it sure does provide a big taste. For dessert it's a little on the pricey side but it hooks up so many delectable treats that make it so worthwhile.\n\nWhen Danceadelphia took to the parking lot next door for their their rendition of Young Frankenstein I was feeling some serious hunger. after gazing at so many pastries and cakes I had one tricky time deciding. But the tantalizing carrot cake cupcake that was bigger than my fist instantly drew me in. I can only think of one person who does Carrot Cake better (http://www.yelp.com/biz/carrot-cake-man-philadelphia#hrid:4Ql3QPiqWLr3-Psnb5wDCw) But this one was certainly a close second. It was loaded with fresh nuts and tart raisins, and had the freshest icing imaginable on top. And did I mention that it was bigger than my freaking fist? Tartes also hooks up plenty of delicious cookies, fruit tarts and so much more.",
"this little crack shack of sweetness rocks! It has one of the best key lime pies I ever had. They have some very tasty cookies too but I usually favor the fruit tarts- b/c i usually go to tartes after i go to old city ironworks and the fruit makes the tarts more suitable for after gym fare. the big downfall is that it is on the pricey side if you purchase in bulk, but if ur a sweet junkie like myself u will find a way to make due- for instance i believe heat and electrocity can be a bit overrated.",
"Such a cute little pink shop. And the scents wafting from the window on a crisp fall day just made me HAVE to go in. (Note: they have sporadic hours - so read the door). Super-friendly gals (and one guy) were baking and glazing before my eyes.\n\nGanache coated cookies, cupcakes, tarts.\n\nLove it.\n\nSo glad I walked by and walked in. Bring cash - they don't take plastic.",
"The place is super tiny and adorable. In fact, you can't even go inside. There's just a little window to order at. It always smells delicious when they're cooking, and a lot of people order goodies there for the holidays. I grabbed a pastry there once, and it was pretty delicious and also unique.\n\nThe pastry was I think around $5 and I got a cookie for someone else for around $2."

"Jasime falls in the category of Chinese food made specifically for Americans, and within that category it's above average. The meats and vegetables seem high quality and fresh, and the sauces are less thick and gloopy than at a place like Panda Express. I have only had take-out, but the dining room seems very nice. They went easy on the China-town tchotchkes and put the waiters in white shirts and black bowties.",
"A great, inexpensive lunch place that leaves me satisfied every time! The serving size is just right, the service is prompt and the food has always been delicious. The atmosphere is mostly very pretty - there is one rough corner of the restaurant that I don't get, but everything else is \"old world Chinese restaurant\" to me. This is a great place to go for a relaxing meal, but still get you out the door in an hour if your boss is looking over your shoulder!",
"As far as Chinese restaurants go this is probably the best one in the area. I've eaten here a few times and have not found anything I don't like yet. The service is usually good when you eat inside and if you order takeout I GURANTEE your food will be ready in 10 minutes... whether you order 1 thing or 50 things... 10 minutes guaranteed.",
"The food was a 3-3.5 and the service was a solid 4, ambiance also a 4.\n\nVery Accommodating! They fixed up more seats and tables when we came with more people than our reservation was for and eagerly put the cake in the fridge that we brought for the birthday lunch. Also at the end when we were singing and having cake, they took a picture of us with their personal camera and brought us a picture printed already before we left. Very nice extra gesture, which I haven't seen at a place that wasn't a 5 star expensive dining experience or kid's Chuck-E -Cheese.\n\nThe decorations in there is what I'm used to, looks like any middle of the road to upscale chinese restaurant back home in honolulu, the kind that my family eats at all the time, so I felt quite comfortable in there (white linens, cermanic white plates, tea pots...) There was free won ton chips for apps, which is different and not in a bad way! The food came out in the timely fashion, and although all the dishes were between $10-14 for lunch, the portions were quite generous and one dish could be shared by two in a normal situation. We had a large party, so opted for 6 dishes to be shared family style. We did have to flag down the waiter quite a bit but he brought fresh tea, water and rice with a little urging. His humor and personality made up for any lack of prompt service.\n\nThe food was fine, at first I thought the menu looked like any takeout type service in the area, which I dont consider \"real\" chinese food. However, even with General Tso chicken on the menu, the thai seafood curry had qaulity scallops, shrimp, and whole lobster tail. The peking duck was OK but i've had better (not as crisp and the buns werent right), all the other things we got were just fair to good, but not WOW. \n\nOf course in center city there are all of the good eats for chinese food, but out here in the burbs, this is A-Ok.\n\nOne bad/good thing-no cell service inside!! (sprint, tmobile and At&T), must step outside to make a call and I couldn't receive anything, which might actually be a plus in my book. There is a time for food, and a time for texting. Nuff said.\n\nAlso a BYOB with a beer distributor and Liquor store down the street.",
"Solid Chinese fare at Jasmine but nothing standout. If you are in Glenside and hankering for Asian this is a great stop. Typical restaurant decor and good service, as well as decent prices. The Udon combo, served with chicken, beef, and shrimp with udon noodles in a spicy soy sauce for $13.95, was a good value.",
"Enjoyed it the last few times. Nice menu with big vegetarian selections. Worth the ride from Jenkintown, where Chinese food options are very limited.",
"Took two bites then threw it away!! I ordered Mango Chicken from this establishment; it was horrible. They had the audacity to pass of another chicken dish as being mango chicken. They literally put 4 slices of mango on top of another dish and called it mango chicken. The dish contained carrots, snap peas and water chestnuts; none of that is found in mango chicken. The dish was not pleasing in any way; i ordered brown rice and received white rice. If I were dining in, I would not have paid for this dish but since I was already at home I was stuck with it. So in the garbage it went.",
"We have eaten here many times. It is our Chinese food go-to place for eat-in or take-out. The food is delish. The place is clean, service is good, and the serving sizes are commensurate with the pricing (leaning toward the generous side). This is obviously a family owned/run business in the best sense. They care.",
"We had a delightful New Year's Day lunch at the Jasmine Bistro in Glenside. Our waiter was very friendly, attentive, and accommodating and gave us the choice of a booth or table. He sat us away from other guests ensuring we wouldn't have to listen to other people's conversations. \n\nThe lunch comes with complimentary black hot tea and fried won tons with duck sauce. We ordered won ton soup, which was delicious, and the meat dumplings as appetizers. For our main course, we had spicy chicken with orange flavor which was out of this world delicious - crispy, spicy and delicately flavored with orange. We also had the veggie lo mein and the chicken Szechuan style. At the end of the meal, our waiter gave us moist towels to clean our hands and the customary fortune cookies. We also were delighted to receive orange slices to nibble on while we were waiting to pay the bill. \n\nJasmine Bistro is one of our favorite local Chinese restaurants and we will definitely be back!",
"Jasmine Is A really great place to eat b/c the staff is so nice & the service is perfect"

"Really tasty French food served in a funky decor with a warm atmosphere. The French onion soup and the Flounder Francois were delicious. The menu features a lot of classic French food plus more. The portions were nice sized. The accompanying bread was tasty and the house red wine was quite good. It's a family owned and run.",
"I look forward to this restaurant every year. There is a reason they have been in business for 40 some years. The care and preperation that goes into the food here is phenominal everything is made from scratch. \n\nEvery time I come here I get the same thing. A cup of French onion soup, the Flounder Francaise, and apple strudel for dessert. \n\nThe service is as good as it gets and while the decor is a little weird it makes his place very unique. I would recommend this place to anyone around Gulfport looking for delicious, quality french food.",
"Absolutely awful. It's actually a very attractive place which makes it especially unfortunate. This is perhaps the worse restaurant I've ever been to (certainly from a value perspective) and the worst dining experience by far that I've had in Tampa Bay. Food didn't come and was terrible when it did. It's a family restaurant which means that there are no professional servers and, hence, the service is unprofessional - inattentive, lax and haphazard. My wife and I had been meaning to try the place for two years and its hard to believe how bad it was.",
"Absolutely Horrendous. A Waste of Time, Energy, and Money.\n\nHands down, tonite's dinner at La Cote Basque was the worst dining experience I've ever encountered. 1st mistake: the opening ambiance. In a community such as Gulfport, patrons will be shocked to be greeted with stacks of religious literature and statues upon entering the restaurant. Regardless of one's beliefs, I do not want to see/encounter religious paraphernalia of any kind at a dining establishment. 2nd mistake: the menu. The online menu must reflect a menu from yesteryear as the pricing in the actual restaurant menu is on average $7 above (for wine as well as entrees) the pricing of the restaurant's online menu. 3rd mistake: the inventory. For a Friday night (which happens to also be a Gulfport Artwalk evening as well as the start of a holiday weekend), I was astonished that the restaurant claimed it was out of pate... at 6:30pm on a Friday evening. 4th mistake: the service. The service is haphazard at best. The first waitress replaced my bread plate - but also took away my butter knife without replacing it. Salads were served one hour (yes, 60 minutes) after we ordered. Appetizers were served at least 90 minutes after we ordered - and after the runner spent a few minutes going from table-to-table, asking if others had requested our order. The same runner actually walked into the dining room and asked all patrons \"who ordered the Sam Adams?\" during dinner. We requested \"more vegetables, no starch\" with our entrée but received the 3 veg / 1 starch (raw rice) regardless of our request. Our final bill was finally presented after we requested it repeatedly and waited 20 minutes. And, the 5th and ultimate mistake: the food. The food is bland and undercooked. The bread was poppy-seed and sweet - not what one expects for bread and butter. The soups tasted the same - even though my husband ordered the mushroom brie bisque and I ordered the swiss. The veal crepes were cold, mushy - and resembled a streusel vs. crepes. The veal crepes were dry and clearly missing the promised hollandaise sauce. Our actual entrée was disappointing - and likely the chicken cordon bleu vs. the veal cordon bleu. \n\nWe visited this dinner on a special occasion and I nearly ended up in tears. During dinner, I visited the powder room and I was tempted to tell the waiting patrons to run to O'Maddy's for a proper meal and not waste their time at La Cote Basque. At the same time, my husband nearly emailed all his friends to tell them to strike La Cote Basque from their list. \n\nPlease do not waste your time, energy, and money on this restaurant.",
"Have been here several times over the years and it never fails to please..We never feel rushed nor ignored..Service has always been top notch and the food excellant..Great for that special occasion or just a night out..We took a friend out for her birthday and they made it very special for her..Creme Brulee for dessert ( a favorite of all of us) was the perfect ending..",
"I'm not sure why, but several negative reviews of this restaurant have been flagged as inappropriate. Those negative reviews are actually much more representative of my experience at La Cote Basque than any of the positive reviews. It seems that three negative reviews have somehow been censored while the four and five star reviews remain, which skews this restaurant's true rating. La Cote Basque is, at best, a two star restaurant, and it's not a French restaurant at all.\n\nI have been to much, much better French restaurants, albeit some are in other cities. Read my reviews and you will see several others..\n\nI don't know how this restaurant survives if it's trying to present itself as a French restaurant. There's hardly any authentic French food on this menu. It seems strongly influenced by German (Bratwurst, Saurkraut, Schnitzel) and Italian (Lasagna, Spaghetti, Eggplant Parm) but those aren't done well either. Where's the Osso Bucco? Where's the selection of various mussel recipes? Where's the Lamb Pappardelle? Or even some Frites with selection of flavored mayonaise? None of those are there. Before you go to this supposedly French restaurant, do yourself a favor and read the menu on their web site at http://www.lacotebasquewinehouse.com. I challenge you to find more than three or four French choices on the menu.\n\nI don't even know how to rate this as a French Restaurant because it's not French, and as an Italian restaurant or a German restaurant, I've had MUCH, MUCH better.\n\nIf you want French in the St. Petersburg area, head over to St. Pete Brassiere in downtown St. Pete. Even Cassis American Brassiere is closer to French than this place. \n\nA side tip - don't go in the rain or you'll have to wade through the parking lot to and from your car. Your shoes, socks, and feet WILL get soaked if you go in the rain. This isn't really the restaurant's fault, but the streets and parking lot there flood terribly.",
"La Cote Basque French Restaurant has, apparently, been around for awhile and it shows. Their cuisine offerings are a mix of French-Swiss-German-Italian. Thus, their proclamation of being a French restaurant is confusing and misleading. But apparently possible (in the off-the-well-worn-pathway hamlet of Gulfport, FL) without any of the locals crying \"FOUL!\" And another first for this foodie! ......a \"French\" restaurant with a \"wine list\" consisting of generic non-vintage varietal house wines. Audacious! Oxymoronic! \n\nThe table service received was far below the expectations of this diner. Mediocre, inattentive and sloppy are apt monikers. Table service was not reflective of the menu pricing. The server did not explain the menu nor provide any insight for these first time guests. Courses were delivered out of sequence and we had to ask (repeatedly) for water refills. \n\nAfter our table had been served our salads, bread and appetizers we overheard a server at the table next to us explaining a special wine offering; a 2006 Chateau Peynaud, Bordeaux. We were eventually able to corral a server and request the same.\n\nThe entrees (Grouper Piccata and Flounder Francaise) were overdone, dry and memorable only for their uninspired preparation and presentation.\n\nA redeeming quality of this restaurant is the unique funky eclectic decor that outshines the food. If only the reverse were true.",
"The name says it is a \"wine house\" www.lacotebasquewinehouse.com. that could only be true if you drink kool aid for wine! The \"selection\" of wine is \"pink, white, red\". \n\nThe food was mediocre, the service rushed (no wonder they add the gratuity), the prices too high. Our server asked us a couple of times if we had gotten our salad, one time was at the end of the meal when we were waiting or our check! The food wasn't really french, it was something with sauce poured over it.\n\nThis place may have been in business and family owned for 40 years but it needs a serious update. Get a real wine list if you are going to call yourself a wine house. Get a chef that knows what french food is, maybe limit the selection. Get some servers who are not rushed and can keep track of what they served. REDECORATE - save the grandma's collection for a small area, maybe the restrooms and another area.\n\ntoo bad as Gulfport is a fun area.\nChef Ramsey would have a field day with this establishment!!",
"First, a shout out to GRoupon, because without that I would never had known about this place. It's definitely off the beaten path. Honestly, the place doesn't look like much at all viewing it from the street, but once you venture inside, you'll be glad you did. \n\nI would give this a 3.5 stars because (1) the food was very good (2) the ambiance was what I would call European romance.\n\nWas this \"real french\" cuisine? Heck if I know. I'm an American. I do know what ever european cuisine it was, it was deliciously prepared. Everything from the salad dressing, to the bread, to the entree down to the traditional creme brulee was thoroughly enjoyable.\n\nI don't understand giving this a low rating because someone doesn't like the wine. Huh? Yes, the restaurant name is wine house, but I'm there to eat. It is a restaurant, after all.\n\nInside looks like an adorable elderly french (or European) wealthy grandmother decorated. I'm in to old fashioned antique-looking decor, so this was right up my alley. It really does look like another world in there. Ladies and gents, this is a somewhat dressy place. Yes, believe it or not. Don't judge this book by its cover. Some girls were in prom dresses. Guys, no shorts here; long pants and a button down.\n\nWe will definitely return.",
"There is a good reason they have been around for 40 years. I believe their roots are Swiss, not French nor Basque, so if you have your taste set for French cuisine then you should probably continue your search. If you want great service and food in a quiet atmosphere the you should visit La Cote Basque. When I visited I had the pleasure of meeting 3 generations of the family and had wonderful service from Carmen and Jay. This place offers a big contrast to the places nearby that are nosier and more casual. The Wiener Schnitzel was about as good as it gets and the fresh baked bread is made special with roasted Poppy and Sesame seeds with a touch of honey. The WS came with four sides, rice, carrots, green beans and cabbage. I will return every chance I get."

"This is the new Scotty's in Downtown Indianapolis. It's beautiful on the inside. It has a GREAT location, not too far from Conseco Fieldhouse. The food is OK. I don't like when restaurants nickel and dime you. Cheese, avocado, chicken substituted for beef, lots of little charges. Any managers reading this, drop the little charges that are all over the menu. They have daily drink specials which are nice.",
"We went to Scotty's last night to watch basketball. There are TVs EVERYWHERE which is why we picked it. We decided to order some food and had the fried dill chips with horseradish sauce, a dilly burger and a buffalo chicken wrap. Everything was good. I especially enjoyed the dilly burger which had 4 fried dill chips and the horseradish on time.\n\nThe service was really good except that they kept trying to deliver things to our table that we didn't order. Seriously, this happened probably 15 times over the course of 2 hours. \n\nI definitely will go back when it gets warm to sit on their patio. Supposedly they will have seating for 150 people out there.\n\nCheck it out. Definitely a great place to go watch games, drink beer (they have at least 25 on draft) and eat pretty good bar food.",
"Very nice layout: sleek outdoor seating, comfie booths--some with small flat screen t.v.s--, people-watching window tables, and a lounge area featuring (\"Drink Me!\") over-sized furniture. The restrooms are done in cinnamon red brick, smell like Big Red chewing gum, and offer Dyson hand dryers that do the job in seconds flat. The server did a fine job throughout visit by promptly returning with a fresh mixed drink after a variation of the order was first sent out, allowing adequate time for meal selection (the menu is huge!), and following detailed instruction without quibble. The drinks were well made and the food tasty (though nothing to rave about). Thumbs up.",
"You know, I'm disappointed in all these reviews. Could everyone have a crappy time at the same time? \n\n\nOh well.\n\nI went to scotty's for the first time monday night. I've had thier food before. My friend Stephanie used to work there and she'd bring me discounted food all the time. \n\nSo I ordered my usual stand by. A cheeseburger with all the usual trimmings (Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickel, barbeque and mayo). I took my first bite. I was pretty much in heaven. Whoever was the chef KNEW how to cook. These burgers are to DIE for! \n\nI'm only knocking off one star for price. Holy hell outrageous! But, It's good stuff, and as long as you go every so often. Not all the time, you're stomach, and your wallet, should be satisfied!\n\nKeep it up Scotty's!",
"This is a great place to watch a game and have a good time....not a good place if you want food with any nutritional value.\n\nEach booth has its own tv, and great sports bar ambience with tons of TV. But they take normally fried and unhealthy bar food, and take it a few steps further.....both my guest and I walked out feeling gross after eating the healthiest things we could find on the menus. Veggie Quesadilla and Club Sandwich. Pretty sure we had a weeks worht of calories in each of our meals.\n\nFor future visits, just plan on drinking you calories, you will have more fun, and stay less fat.",
"Came here with a $10 off coupon this time. This is a good place to have a drink with friends. The drink specials are wonderful. I had the \"South of the border\" Taco salad. It was good, but I still don't like all the additional charges. The coupon helped! :)",
"If you need to gain five pounds quickly, go here. It's kind of sad that \"American (Traditional)\" cuisine = fried, fattening appetizers followed by fried, fattening entrees, washed down with calorific drinks and finished off with sugar-bomb desserts. That said, Scotty's does this genre decently, adding unexpected twists like fried disks of dill pickle with horseradish. Their pub menu is expansive and even funny (they serve a school lunch meal on one of those plastic trays you remember from elementary). In case you had any doubts about your inevitable heart attack, you can add cheese and bacon bits to pretty much everything. \n\nI had a chipotle black bean burger, which pretty much tasted like the Morningstar patties I get in the freezer aisle. I was, however, impressed with the number of interesting microbrews they had on tap. The People's Pilgrim Porter (Lafayette, Ind.) I chose was the stand-out of my meal. I'd definitely go back for that alone. The dill pickles were a novelty, but way too salty and greasy.\n\nThe atmosphere was your typical douche-y sports bar. Hey, sorry, to you folks who are into that. It's not my bag. I dislike TVs and certainly don't need EIGHT in my sightline to enjoy a beer and a meal. I know, I know, I should probably stay far away from places like Scotty's, but I live in Indianapolis and the pickings are slim. I do give Scotty's credit for the exciting beer selection, nice servers and their efforts to include a few decent veggie options on the menu.",
"Scotty's Downtown location is sometimes overcrowded due to downtown events. It can be difficult to get a seat and even if you do get a seat the kitchen takes their sweet time getting the order out. I have had a couple of bad experiences there with getting the wrong order. I caught a colts game early in the season there and figured I would take advantage of their Sunday $5 domestic pitcher deal and was disappointed to learn that the pitchers are $14.50 on colts game days!! I told the waitress she should have told me that and she didn't seem to care. The next couple times I was in there the waitress mentioned that the special is not honored on game day right when she greeted us. So they have made the adjustment. I'm sure this location will get better since it's fairly new. \n\nI've been there several times since and they've defiantly gotten better. It's one of my favorite downtown bars. They love the Cubbies and the Boilermakers there so how can you go wrong :-)",
"Caught the Flyers match here yesterday, great location with plenty of space and a huge beer selection. They typically have some beer special, it was $2.00 domestic bottles and $4 swag drinks. The menu looks great, didn't get a chance to try it but everything looked great coming out.",
"On a recent weekend trip to Indy, my friends and I stopped in for drinks and food. This place is great. If you like a nice selection of craft beer on tap and a huge menu, this is the place to go. TV's all over the place inside, plus an outdoor patio with a firepit in the area, for those cooler nights. We went there both day during our stay, so I'm sold on this place. And if you're lucky enough to get Candace as your waitress, then you are set because she's the best. If I'm ever in Indy again, I'll be sure to head back."

"Love this place. It opened this week and I have already been twice - once for lunch and once for dinner.\n\nNice, roomy restaurant - plenty of space between tables so it doesn't feel too crowded. Wood floors and a huge bar, plus several large TVs if you want to watch a game.\n\nThe burgers are great - I've tried 3 of them so far. I ordered the Provincial at lunch (it was fantastic, probably my favorite so far), sampled my friend's Mexicali BBQ, and had the Blazing Saddles for dinner. All were cooked well, had different toppings, and were just delicious. I love how each burger really is different. It's not repackaged at all with a few things shuffled around as is the case sometimes. The beef and buns are both fresh and yeah - I just love it.\n\nThe onion rings were great too. Not too large, not too small, good seasoning, crispy. Greasy, but what do you expect? The fries were decent too. They make their ketchup in house - it's kind of hard to describe, but I liked it. They have normal ketchup if it's not your thing.\n\nThey have a pretty large beer selection, both in bottles and on tap. I didn't need to look long - the Goose Island Seasonal was Matilda, and that's all I wanted. I hope they keep it on a permanent basis.\n\nI didn't get the try any dessert, nor did I even look at the menu honestly. The appetizers looked good. For lunch, our waitress recommended the cheese soufflé, and I ended up getting that at dinner the next night. It was very good, but smaller than I would have liked. It was kind of disappointing to split between two people. But, it was different, and pretty tasty.\n\nThis is a place I will go back to, over and over. I always am searching for a place I could hang out at, go back to frequently, and this really could be it. Hope you enjoy it.",
"great burgers, beer and wine with free tastings of either. It was a bit noisy in the section we were in but otherwise the food and service was very good. We were there on 5 day after their opening and were surprised at how well they were going. The outdoor seating for warmer weather will make this a happening place this summer! Starbucks is next door for a nice coffee after dinner.",
"Great burger and fries! I ordered mushroom swiss burger and they have an extra meat sauce to go with it. The burger was juicy and the size is bigger than what I'm used to. I ended up finishing the meat and left the buns alone. \n\nOrdered a mushroom swiss burger with fries and a soda, totalling up to $14. \n\nThe restaurant has a really cozy interior and our waitress was very friendly and helpful too.",
"A great addition to the Mass Ave. scene. It's nice to have a place to get a great burger here. Great atmosphere and good service. The Bru Burger is especially good. Beer battered onion rings and chocolate shakes. Full bar with beer floats for dessert. Yes, beer floats",
"Mixed opinions. Great atmosphere and location. Some misunderstandings on my order but the management was very accommodating. Probably still working out some opening challenges. I will likely return but not in the near future.",
"Met a pal for lunch here. I arrived first and not only did the staff seat me right away, but they asked the name of the friend I was meeting so they could direct her to my table. Very nice! \n\nThe server came over to take my drink order right away. He wasn't sure what one of the seasonal beers was but I was close enough to the bar that we could turn around and the bartender was able to give a helpful description of one of the beers. \n\nI ordered the Mexicali BBQ burger & onion rings. Going from memory the burger was topped with tomato, guacamole, queso cheese, some type of hot sauce and green chili. The onion rings were *amazing* and the burger was very good as well. The topping flavors seems to mesh well. My only complaint is that I ordered it medium and it was a little rarer than that. \n\nOverall, glad to see this addition to the neighborhood.",
"Great beer list, both bottles and draft. Mixed drinks sound good but I was not impressed that the bourbon drink was made with Makers. For the price I expected Woodford, Knob Creek...something of that nature. I'll still try it next time. \n\nI ordered the pulled pork sandwich sans slaw (Memphis in May). It was delicious! The pork seemed to be marinated in the sauce, so it was flavouful without being too saucy. The fried onion strings added good flavor and some crunch. Bun was soft and delicious and held up well during this monster of a sandwich. My friend got a burger-mushroom & Swiss-the dipping sauce was great, and she broke off a chunk of beef for me to try too...yum! Can't wait to go back and try more. Cost for my sandwich (I drank water and only had the sandwich, no side) including tax was $10. \n\nWhile we were there I saw a bartender from Libertine and the red haired B'Java guy. Hehe",
"What a great place. I had the BRU burger because I figured they named it after the restaurant for good reason and boy was I right! The tomato jam was awesome and the taleggio cheese unreal! I had their onion rings too and they were fried to perfection. I loved it all. Also had a nice glass of pinot grigio. My boyfriend and I split the chili cheese fries and the chili was so good I wanted a whole bowl to myself. I highly recommend coming here.",
"My wife came to meet me for lunch and we decided to try out BRU Burger Bar after reading some positive reviews from yelp and urbanspoon. They have only been open for 3 or 4 weeks and the burgers were out of this world. We waited around 15 minutes for them both but the wait was well worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone who is a burger lover.",
"Bru is a great addition to Mass Ave. Bravo!\n\nA clean, upscale, but yet somehow homey atmosphere occupies the corner building between Mass and Alabama Aves.\n\nGreat -- I mean GREAT selection of brews -- which considering the name, I'd be otherwise disappointed. I enjoyed a nice seasonal Goose Island, the Matilda.\n\nI opted for the title track: the Bru Burger. Atop lettuce and mayo were a wonderful tomato jam, a tasty taleggio cheese, and savory onions. Literally every bite was delectable.\n\nAll in all, that's about it. I'm definitely going back.\n\n\nA couple of \"opportunities\" I noticed:\n\n1) I asked our server about the beer I had before I'd ordered it. He knew nothing about it and, rather than just go ask, he took a shot in the dark; wasn't even close. I'm glad the beer turned out well...but c'mon. My girlfriend said the same thing happened to her with her server the week before -- but that the bartender was incredibly knowledgeable.\n\n2) This isn't unique to Bru, but they're guilty. I kinda have issues paying $5+ for a pint of Sun King's house beers. Don't get me wrong, they brew incredible beer -- but considering they make it a mile away and self-distribute, I can't help feeling like I'm being gouged just for wanting to support local.\n\nThis may sound a little like a rant, but considering the burger prices (well worth it for such gourmet tastes), they could afford to offer some incentive on the beer price. While I may give up and bump them up to 5 stars, it's a \"4\" for now."

"Pizza and salad buffet, located at the old Hooters place.\n\nNew pizza buffet place, clean and plenty of space to sit. They had a large variety of different pizzas and told us if we wanted anything else, just ask, brilliant. No frozen ingredients here, upper end pizza served. \n\nBeer and coke products available, the pizza's tasted great. \n\nBy the way, try the Oreo cookie desert pizza, it's amazing. \n\nI will be a regular customer, the price and service was great.",
"Think \"Cici's\", but with much better quality, variety, service - and NOT a bland chain.\n\nAll-you-care-to-eat Adult dinner 8.25-ish (no drink), kid was 5 bucks (with drink)...quite a dealio! \n\nThey have a lot of very interesting pizza combos, and will literally make anything you request! Just ask, and in a very short time they will come around with it to your table first, before taking it around to the others. Skies the limit! \n\nMost of the pizza I tried was excellent, with a few dud combos(which is not a big deal)\n\nI have to especially mention the DESSERT PIZZAS. Had the chocolate chip, peanut butter, and bavarian creme. All were incredible. Don't miss these when they come around fresh and hot.\n\nI absolutely will return!",
"I'm a pizza enthusiast, and I can say that this place is in my top 3 of pizza joints.\n\nThe staff was friendly and very helpful as this was my 1st time being there. \n\nThe pizzas are about 8 inches big and they ask you how many slices you want. When you take a bite the cheese stretches just like the commercials. Oh and the pictures don't lie. What you see is what you get. \n\nI'll be returning there, if you haven't tried them get in your car right now and drive over there! You won't be disappointed!",
"This is the reason I love yelp! I would never have tried Bia Maria's if not for reading the reviews here (but, with all due respect, DO NOT think \"Cici's\" because it is NOTHING like Cici's). I am SO glad I tried it here despite that comment.\n\nFirst, the ingredients stand out for their freshness. Second, there is a wide variety of pizzas that come out and you can order any type you want, as well. Third, the crust is thin and good, very important for a good pizza experience. Fifth, the service was friendly and efficient even though the place was packed. Finally, at $8.19 for the dinner buffet, this is a GREAT value!\n\nLike the Terminator, I'll be back.",
"Being a NYer I'm incredibly picky with my pizza... This place is amazing!\n\nI've been on a diet for at least 5-6mo....I think I just gained all that weight back from eating all the random slices being brought around. :-P\n\nThe pizzas come in any variation you can think of, they are freshly made, and you can tell.\n\nYou can request a pie, and choose how many slices you want, and what's left gets walked around, meaning you get to try the various flavours that have been requested by other diners.\n\nThe pizza DO NOT. sit on a hot bed to rot, like you'd see/expect from Ci Ci's.\n\nThey have only been open for a few weeks, but this place is already getting packed.\n\nIt is kid friendly\n$8.99 per adult \npizza, salad, and a drink, all endless, I think that's a good deal. :-)\n\nI will definitely be going back, and bringing along some friends. :-)",
"Well, this was a fun experience. Bia Maria's is located kind of across from the Tyrone Mall off Tyrone Blvd. Careful not to miss the turn off, it's on the little side street off of Tyrone Blvd, same area as the Barnes & Noble, about a quarter of a mile down from it. We almost drove right past it as it is kind of dark in that area.\n\nWe were greeted by a very upbeat young lady who explained how the buffet works. We paid at the front (great prices!), grabbed our drinks, sat down and looked over the menu of their vast pizza offerings. When you decide what pizzas you want to try you just tell one of the many people there who puts your order in. We thought it would be like a buffet but it's not like that at all. There were many guys walking around offering us different kinds of pizza! We didn't even have to get up lol! So once your pizzas are ready, they come give you however many slices you want and then go around the restaurant offering to the other tables. Awesome! They did have the leftover pizzas sitting on their counter that you could grab some more if you wanted.\n\nThere was also a salad bar that comes with the buffet and they did have other offerings on the menu that you could order a la carte. The pizza was good. A nice crispy thin crust that was not greasy(my personal preference). We tried so many pizzas I'm not sure on all the names lol. But everyone that works there was wonderful! I love smiley, friendly people. One of the guys even came by at the end of our meal to get our feedback which was nice. Great place! 10/10 would do again on a cheat day.",
"Excellent pizza buffet and they will make any kind you ask for! The servers bring it to you so it is hard to stop. Come hungry and save room for the Bavarian Cream!",
"The Terminator made good on his promise and returned to Bia's tonight. It was another great pizza experience. The ingredients are so fresh, the crust just right and the sauce a nice partner that doesn't overpower. I tried the dessert pizzas tonight and they were great, too.\n\nI met the owner, Bia, tonight and she is a hard working charmer. She is doing a fantastic job with this restaurant and I truly hope she makes it big. I highly recommend Bia's to anyone who enjoys thin crust pizza. I'll have to try the salad bar next time.",
"Love the decor, wood flooring, cleanliness, and soda machine. Service was also very inviting and the servers kept coming by to see if I needed anything and to take my plates. Went in for lunch and the buffet was a little limited with choices. I ordered a pizza that had some white sauce (Alfredo) that I didn't care for too much. I compare the lack of pizza on the buffet to a lack of product on a store shelf. No one wants to shop in an empty store. The blt pizza I had was okay but nothing special. The dessert pizza on the other hand was a peanut butter/caramel thing that was amazing. I would come back just for that. I'm sure this place is much better at night when they are busy with a full buffet of choices so I will have to try it again and update my review.",
"Great approach to pizza. They can custom-make a pizza for you and then they will bring it to your table to deliver a few slices as well as offer other slices that were just ordered for other customers. \n\nService is better than most well-managed chain restaurants and the staff is very considerate and personable. \n\nAtmosphere is simple, clean, somewhat bar-like/festive."

"What a nice, airy, pleasant restaurant! Coffee was excellent and the food was of high quality. The staff is knowledgeable and were very attentive. My only complaint was that the silverware was dirty. Normally I would shrug off one dirty fork, but my knife was food encrusted also. I would go back again and would definately tell others to go there.",
"Have not yet had a chance to sample the food, but the coffee is fantastic. If you're a coffee nerd, they're happy to shoot the breeze with you, and even challenge some of your preconceived notions. \n\nI look forward to many many caffeine fueled adventures that depart from here.",
"What can I say. This place is fantastic, the decor is makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in the door, light colors, thick hardwood tables. They serve Kaldi's coffee well prepared, 3 of us shared a 24oz Chemex brewed single origin.\n\nThe food is fantastic, the items half a homey home cooked feel but with a contemporary imaginative, creative flair. I had the Salmon hash which had a great portion of excellently seasoned Salmon with home potatoes, 2 sunny side up eggs, capers, and caramelized red onions served in a hot iron skillet, it was just fantastic. They also had caviar available, as well as a chorizo and corn bread dish.\n\nI would highly recommend this place for a great breakfast. Our current favorite places are Rooster and City Coffee House & Creperie, Half and Half will now join them on our list of regular places to visit.",
"We went two weeks ago. The blueberry pancakes were amazing, and my husband raved over the steak and eggs. Friendly service. The food did take awhile to arrive, but attribute that to opening pains. Only issue I had was the kid's meal. My 2 year old had the silver dollar pancakes. The portion size was so small that it wasn't even enough for her (and she doesn't eat much)--I can't imagine trying to satisfy an older child on it. Would have also liked a more basic (real, of course) maple syrup option. Honey was interesting, but for a picky kid (or husband), not so much.",
"I have heard that the food here is terrific. However, I would not myself be able to confirm this, even after two visits. The first visit resulted in me and some friends sitting at a table for 2.5 hours without ever getting our food served (we saw our waitress maybe twice over this time, and our multiple requests only resulted in us getting water). I left without ever getting food. Two weeks later we went back to give it another try, but left after waiting to be seated for five minutes - the wait staff (consisting of 5 or 6 people) simply never paid us any attention. We also were not allowed to sit at the bar for some reason. To put it plainly, I cannot go back to Half & Half, as to do so would put me in a position of being utterly disrespected for a third time. No thanks.",
"I can go on and on but you must try out Half and Half. This is home a way from home food. Great for family's and groups that need to meet under a great atmosphere. It is the Best easy on the eyes place I have been to in St. Louis. The water bottles alone are fun and the decor is top notch.",
"We counted 17 staff members working - yet it took more than an hour to clear tables. Most people were working at a snail's pace - it was actually comical.\n\nThe host was clueless. \n\nThey were out of orange juice and mustard.\n\nUnsanitary process with shared salt & pepper containers w/ no spoons.\n\nHowever, the food was awesome. Zero complaints on that end.",
"First impression:\n\nCame to Half & Half at around noon on Sunday and waited about ten minutes for two seats at the bar. Employees, wearing blue shirts marked on the sleeves with ampersands and centaurs, scurried about not all too quietly, but were very familiar with the menu and killer coffee list. The atmosphere was somewhat hectic, but after ten or twenty minutes I found myself able to tune the clamor out. \n\nAfter a short wait we were served with a fantastic cappuccino featuring flowery latte art and the $3.50 appetizer donuts, which reminded me of lemony sweet and sour chicken pieces without the chicken and dusted in powdered sugar. Our main courses followed, which set the tone of the morning from good to great: the fried egg sandwich came served on a delicious bun with sticky cheese, crispy bacon, and knockout potatoes; the blackberry French toast was multilayered with a mild creamy cheese layer in the center. Everything was a true bang for the buck, especially that sandwich. \n\nHalf & Half has definitely made a splash with its beachlike blue and white interior, knowledgable service, and drop-dead tasty menu. Those interested, however, may want to consider coming on a weekday if they are looking for a calm and relaxing, rather than a noisy and hip, brunch experience. \n\n5 stars = highly recommended, personally eager to go back",
"Never have I had a pancake that made me pause. Literally i stopped and closed my eyes and really just stopped for a second. Coffee was spectacular, pork berry and eggs were perfect. \n\nSheesh that was a good pancake... \n\nService was good, nice crowd. The server at the bar was personable. Good times..",
"Dear Half & Half:\nPlease look at this letter with constructive eyes. I know you are still the new kid on the block. Still, a first impression is a first impression. Try a bit harder, step up your game and take these bullet thoughts as suggestions:\n\nMILIEU : \n-Lighting. It's key in my world. Please remove those bad fluorescent cans in favor of some hanging fixtures that add some personality to an otherwise empty big seating area. Great Art and/or some pops of color would be nice in your main dining area too.\n\n-The wood tables in the bar area are nice; ditto the bar itself but looking in the kitchen with the crumbs and the baby chairs is an eyesore. Let's figure something else. The empty shelves behind the bar could use a bit of life. Check out Stumptown, they do great presentation: http://www.stumptowncoffee.com/\n\nFOOD+ STAFF:\n-Before I order, please let me know what you \"ran out of\" in the vein of that turkey sandwich I wanted with wheat bread. So no turkey. No wheat bread. Game time decision; do I walk up to Companion now and get what I want or settle for something else? You made it this far. I stay and settle on a grilled cheese sandy ($7). When it finally comes out, the chips are the remains of the day, and they are mere crumbs. The tomato is gritty (find a good farmers market) and the sour dough bread is fine but I could have made this at home. (**Note: Companion and Straubs are your neighbors; perhaps they can provide you with bread/turkey should you run out...no one would ever know).\n\n-When my fresh batch of hot chips arrive they are delivered to our neighbors who are already done with their food. WHOOPS! We wait for our batch to come out (they are large and salty and pretty good) but I'm not hungry anymore. Instead I feel sadly unwanted like those chips. \n\n-The waitstaff seems ready to roll out, yes, I know you close at 2:30 but there are still people eating, lingering and doing other things one would do whilst a patron. My dining companion's dirty plate has been bussed, still mine remains, along with my neighbors. I still never really know who our server is...the girl who delivered the grilled cheese or the guy who handed me the ice tea (which could use some flavor). Guys, please, let's clean the plates and wipe down the table and bar before we count the money. \n\n- Chef, I know it's closing time but please wait until I leave before you pop open your beer, or at least offer some to me.\n\nOkay, it's half time, fourth quarter, with overtime lingering. Let's make some improvements."

"\"Oh look! A new pub on the ground floor of my building! How wonderfully convenient!\"\n\nConvenient, yes. Worthwhile, no.\n\nFirst visit (first week of opening): my bf had the Pork Belly Cubano, and I had the Brie Omelette. Overall, mediocre--not terrible, not great, just enough food to fill our stomachs. Service was occasional, but since we were the only table that wasn't surprising.\n\nSecond visit (~2 -3 weeks later): My bf and I ordered fish & chips. Food takes a little while to get to the table--probably because the chef was shmoozing with three girls by the bar. Tried the chips--good, not great; the side of red cabbage slaw (I think that's what it was)--pretty tasty; the fish...\"Hmm, I thought it was going to be a big fish fillet instead of sticks. (Break open a piece) Oh wait....this isn't fish. This is chicken.\" Bf starts breaking into his food to discover it's chicken, too.\nThe chef comes to our table: \"Sorry, that's actually chicken.\"\nMe: \"Yes, I noticed.\"\n\nSo they take the food away and bring back fish & chips. Oh, the disappointment. The actual fish sticks were smaller than the chicken strips. Oh, and they don't have malt vinegar for the fish & chips.\n\nMy bf mentioned the mistake to the owner, who was nice enough to buy us a glass of wine each and chat for a little while. But in the end, we concluded Con Murphy's is not worth the time or money.",
"This is a newly renovated place so it's clean and fairly modern looking. I suspect the owners are appealing to the \"macho\" guy crowd as decor is a little too austere. I like an Irish pub to have a few nooks and crannies where I can hide out with my husband and people watch and drink too much :) But that's just me! Still, I just couldn't escape the sensation that there's a \"boys club\" mentality here. (Very, very inexperienced pretty young servers!) And then there's that \"hotel restaurant\" feeling that I could not escape. They cook for the Windsor where they're located and so it feels like a \"fake\" Irish pub, certainly not cozy in any way. I had dinner with my husband on a Friday evening. There were a few men (middle-aged) at the bar and only one other couple eating. Food was OK but meats a little over done. Worse though was the fact that little ingredients were missing from the description on the menu. As though the chef was off that night. And that really annoys me generally. If it's on the menu it should be on my plate. I think details are important. Cocktails were good, Sauvignon Blanc nice. But overall just not worthy of a second visit.",
"Nice place! Located on the Ben Franklin Parkway, steps from Logan Square and the Four Seasons Hotel. Intimate pub for center city dwellers. Friendly staff!! They had a live Irish Band the night I was there.",
"Lovely bartenders and delicious pub food. What more can you ask for?\n\nThe Blackened Tuna Sandwich is a must try. Delish!\nWhile you're at it, order the french fry appetizer - Old Bay fries with cheese sauce (which doesn't congeal with time); Never fails to please.",
"Food decent, service great, menu good. Apparently they serve a damn fine pint of Guinness, but the only problem is that it is definitely overpriced! \n\nThis location definitely needed a decent restaurant, and if I were on the parkway, it's about the only place worth eating at. Just too expensive for what it is.",
"Con Murphy's accomodated our fairly large (maybe 50 people??) private event with a semi-open bar (soft drinks and selected beers and wines) and butlered hors d'ouvres. The ladies were really young and cute and friendly as they offered platters of \"goat cheese & Truffles flatbread\" and sliders and mini crab cakes. The (obviously frozen) veggie potstickers were the best of the lot IMHO.\n\nIt was a convivial setting with MANY big-screen TVs broadcasting the Phils game. \n\nIt's a bar. It's conveniently located. It had 2 clean unisex restrooms.\n\nWill I rush right back here? Nah. But it's a great option for the nabe.",
"It was a cold rainy day, and I had a client meeting in the area. We were looking to dry off and have a quick bite to eat before, so we ducked into here. It looked like the best option of the few that were available, and who doesn't like pub food?? \n\nYeah... it was just so mediocre I didn't know what to do with myself. There are just a few things they could've done to raise their status up to at least a 3 or even a 4! \n\nI ordered the ahi tuna sandwich, which was fine, but if only they had toasted the roll... I hate it (HATE IT) when my warm sandwiches are served on cold rolls (whether it be a grilled chicken or a burger). And the fries were cold and had somehow congealed together (they looked and tasted as if they were made about 20 minutes before they were served to me). \n\nI was just so unimpressed... if only Chinatown had been closer!",
"Love this Pub! There's such a cozy atmosphere and the food is really good! I find the Fish and Chips and the sweet potato fries to be my favorites!! The breakfast and brunch are also prepared just right. During the warmer months there's outdoor seating. My friends and I always get wonderful service.",
"PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. I'm not a big fan of pubs in general given that I can't have beer (gluten-free) or meat (vegetarian), but this place really charmed me. \n\nWe were in town for a conference at the Sheraton, and Con Murphy's is just a few steps away. I ordered the braised tempeh and my companion had the fish 'n chips. I couldn't believe how many appealing options were on the menu for vegetarians. The tempeh was a real comfort-food win and the fish in the fish 'n chips was a whole fillet of fresh, white, flaky fish-- no pulverized frozen-fried gunk here. \n\nService was delightful. There was live music, which was good, but a little too loud for us. \n\nIf I have to go back to Philly for a convention, I'll definitely go back to this pub. Food, service, and atmosphere were all quite good. It's easy to like you, Con Murphy's!",
"Very loud, and the food mediocre. The waitress was asked to recommend a dark beer and pointed out Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...ummm."

"Let me preface this by letting you know that I held up residency at taco shops while living in So. Cal. And, since moving to Tennessee, I have been pounding the pavement looking for that So. Cal. flava. Bam! Then there is Oscars!\n\nWith this new location downtown, the business lunch crowd is in for a treat. After my first visit today, I am hooked like the fish in the tacos that I had for lunch (imagine the game where you throw a fake line to your friend and reel them in - that is how I feel sitting in my office right now). Yes, there are at least three other Mexican options within walking distance North of Broadway. But, if you are looking for an authentic experience, you have to get some at Oscar's.\n\nToday, I took it easy. Two breaded fish tacos to go (see pictures). I have to say, the tacos here are the real deal. I feel like San Diego just paid me a visit! The cabbage, cilantro, tomatoes and secret sauce (that's what they call it in the menu) were fresh and just plain right! Squeeze the lime and add a little of both the red and green salsas...you are now anointed. They double up the tacos with two corn small tortillas. Just like San Diego.\n\nI can't wait to wander over here in the morning and get a breakfast burrito. I am going to do it up just like the old days. I'll be sure to share that with you (this week). \n\nYes, you may have to wait 5-10 minutes for your food at lunch. Ooooo, cry about it. I bet it would take you over an hour to prepare all the ingredients to make the tacos yourself and then be disappointed because they don't taste like Oscar's. And, like you can make salsa like this! Save yourself the trouble, bring a friend and distract yourself. I sure know you wouldn't be talking much after you get these in your hands/mouth!\n\nI posted pics of the menu also.",
"Breakfast burrito update: someone better tighten my collar and hookup my chain..cause this dude's gonna be a regular!\n\nOrdered using my half remembered Spanish..\n\nBurrito contents:\nEgg\nCheese\nPotato\nTomato\nAvocado\nadd - salsa verde and rojo\n\nrolled into a traditional flour tortilla \n\nAll under $4\n\nThe great thing about Mexican foods are that they are relatively healthy if consumed properly. Keep the quantities and meat low, add salsas (spicy foods help burn more calories), and pico de gallo, tomatoes, avocado, and you'll begin to reap the benefits of this amazing taco shop! \n\nI'm not gonna mark my territory, because I am a socialized animal. But, you are going to hear me barking cause someone better let me in to Oscar's!",
"Glad to have this new addition to downtown. High quality ingredients. About as authentic of tacos that you will find in this part of the country. Fast, friendly service. I'm a fan. This will definitely be added to the weekly lunch rotation.",
"Fast, friendly service. My favorite is the chicken taco salad. I just noticed that there is one not only close to work but also close to the house. The lunch wait is about ten minutes but trust me it is well worth the wait. Lunch time parking is also a nightmare. So carpool if you can. The breakfast is tasty as well. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.",
"Salsa is perfect. Chips go well with it. Taco salad is fresh. Price is cheap and exciting. Jury still out on everything else. Only been one time. Stand by...",
"Not worth it, overall. A very dull menu. Nothing creative. Nothing really even worth mentioning I had their tacos, which weren't really that great. The location is on Church St., which offers no parking, and little seating. The food is only a couple steps above taco bell, with mostly the same menu.\n\nThere are literally 20 places within walking distance that are much better than Oscar's. There's nothing terrible about the place, but it's just not very good either.",
"Had the chicken quesadilla. It was large, greasy, soggy, and messy. I loved that it was huge. Totally bigger than I anticipated. However it was not \"toasty\". It tasted as if it had been grilled earlier and microwaved. And come to think of it, I think there was any cheese. It was filled with guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, chicken, and loads of grease. \nThis is a new place down town and I will give it another try because it's my first meal and you cant fairly judge a place on one meal. Hopefully the next meal will be better. Just note, I will not be ordering any quesadilla's from this place.",
"best burrito I've had in a long time...and it was a breakfast burrito!! I'm going back for lunch!!",
"Ummmm, this place kicks butt! Coming from a psycho healthy eater like me that's saying something because it's not exactly healthy.\n\nThere is so much flavor hidden somewhere in between seemingly basic ingredients. Delicious! Try the quesadillas. They come in a bed of grease but worth it once in a while? \n\nI fully hope to update my review to 5 stars once I get my hands on one of their breakfast burritos. They are massive and dirt cheap ($4)!",
"The best quality about this place is that it's consistent.\n\nSince I work in downtown, I end up eating here on a weekly basis. Each time my meals are consistently hot, fast, and tasty. \n\nReally, there's no need to take the time to tell you about their menu because it's everything you would expect from Mexican food; rice, beans, and various entrees. One thing different is that their quesadillas have all the ingredients already inside, so there's no guac, sour cream, or pico that comes on the side. \n\nPrices are inexpensive, again what you would expect from Mexican food, and the service is fast. \n\nJust a comment of remorse, don't get the combo platters unless you plan on sharing. Idk if it's their way of imposing Mexican culture on the U.S., but eating that much at lunch only brings about a \"siesta\" that my job isn't cool with. \n\nWell operated straightforward Mexican food."

"Guild Hall has finally opened. I went to the soft open and the official opening with coworkers. They are spot on with the design. Really cool old town industrial vibe (exposed brick, beams, steel, concrete floors, etc). If they want a weekend sports crowd, a few extra TVs will be needed. The service was mixed. There weren't many people for lunch so the server, chef, and owner all showed up with interest in our feedback. Everything came out quick enough the first day. It took a long time to get food on the opening though. There's no parking lot or street parking. There's a pay lot a block away.\n\nWe really care about the beer though. They only have a half dozen or so beers ready. I got a flight (stout, blonde, brown ale, and IPA). They were all good, but the stout stood out. Two people I was with said they don't like stouts but got another. Another friend who's really into beer didn't like any of them.\n\nThey have a cool menu. I got the orange chicken wings, while people in the group got chili, pork rinds, burgers and Sheppard's pie. The chicken could have used a little less tang and a little more spice. The burger was pretty good. The bacon on it is more of a pork belly. I'll be back hoping the kinks work out",
"Stopped in on opening day to try the beers. Did not really care for them. Flight of four(all the ones on tap) was $8. The Blonde and the Ipa both had a strange bitterness to them; in a bad way. Wasn't really hoppy; more like astringent. The amber ale was similar to the Blonde,but a little more balanced. The Stout was OK initially, but then a strange sourness kicked in. All were very light- bodied. No bouquet to speak of; unless you consider bleach an aroma. Served way above cellar temp; I'm guessing 60 degrees or more.\n\nThey did a great job w/ the design & I'm sure they will do well. The menu was interesting, food looked very nice, the service was friendly; but why drink sub- standard beer? The beers I tried did not make me want to return.",
"Sitting in Guild Hall for their grand opening, now 2 hours and 20 minutes later, still waiting for the desserts. The beer was average, the chorizo sliders were great but the entree (honey glazed pork) was so salty, overcooked and tasteless, but I ate it anyway after waiting over an hour to be served, with two glasses of water to wash it down. The waitstaff are friendly, but clearly there are no systems in place, as every time they brought something to the table, they had to ask who ordered what.\n\nIt needs to improve quickly, as my first impression won't have me coming back for more.",
"Beautiful interior, but needs accoustic sound dampeners. The Amber on tap was decent. The stout had a nice, but a little light bodied for a stout. The Bitter was a bit off and very carbonated. We were charged tax for the pints at the bar. Unless jenkintown has its own liquor tax, this was a new one on me. \n\nWe'll give it another go after they've been at it for a bit.",
"Went for Sunday brunch. I had the full English breakfast. Everything was delicious and the coffee was excellent. Family friendly (we went with two small kids). Atmosphere/decor was very cool. Looking forward to going in the evening sometime. Did not get to try the beer, but it looked like they had a great selection.",
"The food took forever and when it did it was burnt or not prepared correctly. They ran out of most of the kids menu. Drink services was spotty at best. I can't recommend going to this place. Go to Kings Corner they have their act together.",
"Absolute disappointment. Tried to order off of the kids menu for our kids but they ran out of everything but the grilled cheese and after an hour wait they served it burnt. From a patrons perspective they should have done everything in their power to please the customer, comp the meal etc. No they still expected us to pay for it. First impressions are everything and they have completely disappointed after such a long anticipated wait of opening. Epic Fail.",
"I've been eagerly awaiting this addition to Jenkintown's food and drink offerings, but was seriously disappointed with their beer. I have never brewed my own beer, so I don't know how to describe what is wrong with theirs in a technical way, but there is something seriously wrong with the stuff they are pouring. I can only surmise it was totally contaminated during brewing since it was opening day and couldn't possibly have gone bad that quickly. \n\nI ordered a flight eager to sample their full menu, but from the first sip of the light ale (which I spit out) across the whole flight I was unable to drink anything but the oatmeal stout. Everything tasted disgusting. I am truly mystified how an establishment like this can even open - do you guys even drink beer? \n\nI'll end this by saying my burger was good, but I've never seen blue cheese melt like sliced american before. \n\nSadly, unless my braver coworkers venture back and report they now have delicious adult beverages, I'll probably never go back.",
"This place has an off the chart interior. It was an old Rolls Royce Dealership back in the 1930's. The renovations are amazing. The menu is based on a lot of old world British Pub options with the American twist. The burgers are a definite standout. My wife had the bangers. I snuck a taste and this is what I will have whenever I return.\n\nThey have a few kinks to work out from opening. Food took a little longer to get than it should. This was made up by the great staff and a couple of good drinks.\n\nThe beers come right out of the holding tanks. Per Owen, the master brewer, these were all the first batch of each time. I really liked the Shakedown Ale which I understood was somewhat of a mistake when they made it. Should be a keeper though. I will definitely be back when I am in the area. Don't pass this place up.",
"Don't go for the food. \n\nI went this evening, as we have been awaiting the opening of this place literally for over a year. Let's suffice it to say there is much room for improvement. \n\nWe were greeted by our server who was not at all familiar with the menu, and hadn't a clue as to how to describe some of the items. The menu isn't very descriptive at all, and all the server had to add was \" it's like really good\" repeatedly. First of all, the online menu had far many more options, most of which were not available. The in house menu was significantly scaled back from what is on their website. They were \"out\" of 2 of the items we hoped to try. I asked the server to explain the \"tots\" to me. Her answer? \"It's like a traditional tot. Like a puff. Like it's really good\". Not descriptive nor helpful, but perhaps she was trying to spare explaining its a fried ball of grossness. It was supposed to be (I think) potato, cabbage, and bacon, but it really was mush with cabbage in it. \n\nAs I sat in a reclaimed church pew, 3-4 inches lower than my fellow guests, and wobbled on the table, I was served an Italian pork sandwich that was as dry as any communion wafer I've had in church. My counterparts tried the orange wings, which the server pointed out we didn't receive the proper quantity. She offered to bring the proper quantity, but we graciously declined, as we didn't even want the few that were brought to us. Finally, the burger was ok. Just ok. Nothing to speak of really. They don't serve fries because \" the chips are like really good\". The chips were not, in my opinion, really good at all. \n\nIn fairness, it is new, but the last thing Jenkintown needs is another English \"pub\" that has no parking. We didn't try any beer, so perhaps that might save this place. The only reason we have it one star is because the assistant manager cared enough to ask our thoughts, otherwise I would put zero. \n\nFor all of the anticipation, this was a huge disappointment. Sorry- I can't recommend it to my foodie friends."

"I LOVE THIS PLACE. I have had so many great meals here I can't tell you about just one. Here is a little overview: Super nice decor, think steak house w/ a little retro feel. Great big booths, tables w/ picnic-esque table clothes, and in the bathroom marble stalls with borax powder soap to wash your hands. \n\nThe major difference than any other steakhouse is that they specialize in bison (it is a leaner, healthier meat than beef but with all the flavor). The menu contains 2 full pages devoted to sandwiches.. choice of beef, bison, or chicken with just about any topping imaginable. They have great salads, the house dressing is a blt ranch.. all i know is it is bacon, tomatoes, chives and ranch all mixed together!\n\nThe also have entrees; steaks, prime, salmon, beer can chicken, meatloaf, etc. Every day they have a different soup and diff. blue plate special...Saturday is bison short rib day (i have had it a few too many times) I think Friday is crab cakes.. not just any crab cakes delicious mounds of big chunks of crab served with mashed avocado... heaven!\n\nService is usually okay but nothing to right home about.. never really any problems but not the kind of place to go the extra step. Which is why this is only a 4 star rating.",
"I have one - er, two - things to say about Ted's Montana Grill: great crab cakes and addictive cherry lemonade!\n\nFor a chain steakhouse, Ted's does a decent job of delivering consistently tasty food at reasonable prices. The only complaint I've ever had about this location is that the weekend wait for a table can be long...but, that's true of just about any Indy metro restaurant at that time.\n\nWe've always had good service here and we usually have a large party of 10-12 when we visit, so that's saying something. I've sampled a few of the menu items, but my personal favorites are still the crab cakes - either as a dinner or appetizer - and the veggie plate. Come to think of it, Ted's may be the only place I know of other than Cracker Barrel that offers a veggie plate as a dinner option. The endless glass of cherry lemonade always hits the spot and is neither too sweet nor too tangy. What have I forgotten.....?? Oh yeah, the amazing super-crispy onion rings and the spicy garlic \"house\" pickle slices that come to your table after you're seated..delish!",
"This is an awesome place, especially since they specialize in buffalo meat. Buffalo tastes better than beef and it is much healthier. I also love Ted's homemade pickles that they give you before the meal. This is great chain.",
"The atmosphere is nice, the service was really good, very friendly and prompt. The food was....FANTASTIC! Buffalo is a wonderful meat and I was so excited to find a place out here that served it! I had a Swiss mushroom burger, my DH had a jalapeno burger and they were juicy and flavorful! \nThe kids had chicken fingers and Mac and Cheese, both yummy. The fires were pretty good and the onion rings were divine! On your table you get homemade pickles that are super crunchy, almost like a cucumber with the brine. I couldn't stop eating them! \nA great place for a family meal or for a large group!",
"Ted's is excellent for what it is. It is a downhome burger place. The service is efficient and friendly. They serve Bison which is lean and delicious, and they have cold beer. When I want a consistent meal, I go here. Love it. It's not the Taj Mahal of dining, but I love it on a lazy Friday night.",
"I really like it here. Everything is really classy. I like the paper straws!\n\nThey serve sliced pickles instead of bread, which is kind of cool. Tasty.\n\nYou HAVE to get the Bison Burger if you go here. Not saying get it every time, but it is really yummy. Plus, it is much healthier than ground beef.\n\nI suggest any burger with guacamole. Deliciouso.",
"Wow. The bison burgers here are great. I had the \"Cadillac\" something or another, and it was fantastic. The fries are very good, too. Great pub food.",
"Burgers are simply wonderful, salmon is fresh and tasty. Beware the paper straws -they work well but aren't what you're probably expecting.",
"Great veggie burger option at lunch time and just sat at the bar. Restaurant was nice and quiet and service was very good. Lots of fries and good fresh tasting and hot as you like them. WIFI in the restaurant but I think that it came from Qdoba next door (?).",
"So I'm in Indy for work again and the typical \"Where do we go for dinner?\" dilema comes up. Being the only Yelper in the group, I bring it up on the iPhone and quickly find that Ted's Montana Grill's got great ratings and it's only 5 miles away. Off to Ted's we go.\n\nOnce again a great find. Thank you Yelp!\n\nTed's, as we later found out, is a famous steak house chain out of Hawt-lanta owned by who else but Ted Turner (he pretty muchowns everything in Atlanta). \n\nThey have a decent list of daily specials. Today being Monday, we tried the spicy bison chili. Man that's gooood chili!\n\nTheir specialty is steak, both beef and bison. I highly recommend trying the bison steak (best when ordered medium). They have no freezers or microwaves at Ted's so everything is buthered on site and prepared fresh every day. The bison come from Mr. Turner's private ranch out west.\n\nAparently they have a great list of deserts but by that point we were all too stuffed on delicious bison meat that we couldn't even think about desert. I will definately come back here next time I'm in town."

"Welcoming another new concept by the ciccio group, sweet soul! Or what you would call a basic girls dream (ha) - bright colors, cute sayings on each corner of this shack, a banana wall (yes a banana wall) and adorable branding on their cute açaí bowl/smoothie/soft serve creations\n\nThe toppings and bowl concepts are very unique in comparison to soho juice, raw juice etc. you can create an açaí, pitaya, soft serve bowl with multiple topping options such as matcha granola, vanilla granola, vegan matcha cookies, goji berries are just a few to name. They have vegan soft serve options including matcha and charcoal vanilla \n\nI got the vegan matcha soft serve that was very good and had hints of coconut milk in it and the pitaya bowl ($8.50 for 3 toppings and 2 grains)!\n\nOverall very good and quick style concept and friendly service!",
"Absolutely phenomenal! Bowls, smoothies, soft serve, vegan dog ice cream... so much to offer!\nBuild your own bowls. Wow! My new fave!\nThe service is friendly. Great prices. Fun atmosphere! Check out the silky chicken in the back. So cute! Get your daily dose.\nSweet Soul. New to Soho.",
"Awesome new spot! There chia pudding is delicious and fairly priced. Definitely will be back",
"Absolutely phenomenal! Bowls, smoothies, soft serve, vegan dog ice cream... so much to offer!\nBuild your own bowls. Wow! My new fave!\nThe service is friendly. Great prices. Fun atmosphere! Check out the silky chicken in the back. So cute! Get your daily dose.\nSweet So",
"The owners of Sweet Soul transformed an abandoned lot on South Howard into a vibrant establishment. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but there were plenty of options. This restaurant is vegan.\n\nAçaí bowls are the main draw here, and the açaí is the correct texture, cold but not frozen and fresh. All of the fruit is fresh, there is frozen yogurt (made with coconuts), and smoothies. I ordered the protein bowl with oatmeal, matcha yogurt, almond butter, granola, blueberry and dragon fruit. I'm probably missing a few ingredients because these bowls come loaded and their are thousands of combinations. \n\nHowever, after ordering your bowl the staff will assist you with the process. Parking is tight, but that is expected at this location. There is also ping pong tables and a small garden in the back.",
"Cool place brought to you by the Ciccio Restaurant Group! I ordered a charcoal/matcha swirl soft serve. Where else can you get that in these parts? Nowhere. Perfect texture and flavor and easy on the wallet at around 4 bones. In addition, they have smoothies and acai bowls.I didn't even bother with that part of the menu as I already knew what I wanted going in. \n\nAside from that, it was fully staffed and my server was nice. One of the owners was also there earning his keep. To top it off, there are picnic tables outside, a ping pong table, a garden with a silkie chicken and a bunny. Unsure if those are secret menu items.",
"Wow! So happy my room mate told me about this place. One of the things I miss most since becoming lactose intolerant is being able to go grab an ice cream at an ice cream shop. Especially on these hot Florida days. Those sad feelings melted away with my very first bite at Sweet Soul. I ordered the soft serve bowl with the matcha and vanilla charcoal swirl. The matcha soft serve definitely has the matcha flavor to it (which I love...definitely tastes like they use actual matcha powder) so if you are not a fan of matcha and want soft serve go with the charcoal vanilla, it is delicious but much more neutral in flavor. Both are super creamy, decadent, and made with a coconut milk base. It's like eating a true soft serve. Sweet Soul is very generous with the amount of toppings you get for the price. I got blueberries, dark chocolate, pineapple, maple granola, coconuts shreds, and agave. All for only $8!!! And this bowl is massive. The fruit was ripe and delicious. Such a yummy treat on a hot day. They also have açaí berry bowls, smoothies, and other plant based goodies. I promise even if you do not eat a plant based diet there is something delicious waiting for you here. The place is adorable with a small bar seating on the inside and picnic tables on the outside and even a ping pong table. Staff were super friendly. I honestly want to go back again tomorrow.",
"Now, I'm not lactose intolerant, so I was blind to the plight of those who are until I met my friend and roommate. Every time we get coffee or a frozen treat, she has to be really careful not to get any dairy. And for the first time, I began to notice that dairy dominates everything! Every single time, she'd have to settle for the one non-dairy option that wasn't very satisfying or forego altogether. (Dessert is supposed to make you feel good!)\n\nEnter Sweet Soul! This is the only dessert place she could spin around, randomly point to a menu item, and definitely be able to eat it. It was so great! \n\nAs far as our orders, I got the Sweet Tooth smoothie, which I guzzled in approximately 8.9 seconds. It tasted fresh and delicious. I tried my friend's matcha/vanilla charcoal swirl bowl and, while I found the coconut milk flavor to be too overpowering for a delicate flavor like matcha, it wasn't a bad flavor at all. \n\nI would like to see the staff more regularly clean the inside eating area, which is prone to getting wet and sticky, given the business being conducted. There were five people behind the counter working very efficiently at their tasks, but a little cleanup throughout the day goes a long way! Also, there were only three stools at the bar, which is awkward considering most people who dine in don't come alone. There was always one stool empty, and couples opted to stand outside rather than have one person sit and the other stand (particularly since standing persons can get in the way of the tiny amount of space there is to stand in line).\n\nI really like the Ciccio restaurants, and Sweet Soul is a great addition to their offerings. It's also different from the onslaught of unhealthy ice cream and froyo chains. This place is definitely worth a visit, and I'm looking forward to trying more treats!",
"I went back for another delicious soft serve at Sweet Soul this weekend and learned that they did away with their matcha! So sad as the matcha flavored soft serve was such a unique and delicious flavor. They've replaced it with chocolate and the chocolate is honestly extremely delicious and a more well liked \"typical\" flavor. hope that Sweet Soul considers having a rotating (maybe seasonal) unique flavor to keep things interesting and different!",
"I got an açaí bowl with the açaí blend, strawberries, pineapple, brownie, granola, coconut, and peanut butter drizzle. It was very fresh and delicious. You could taste the high quality of the ingredients. It was nice also to pick out your toppings by going down the line and getting a visual of all your options. Very quick service as well. I'll be happy to visit again!"

"I have eaten in just about all the Pho places in Reno, and this one was the best tasting there is. The bowl I got (can't remember the number, but I get everything except beef ball) was phenomenal and absolutely loaded. My only mark against them is the price. It's a bit pricier than the downtown options. Expect to pay around $10 for a bowl of Pho only (no drink). I usually expect to pay around $7-8, so it's a bit more. Otherwise, it's a great spot to grab some good food.",
"I ordered pho and the noddles were a bit more limp than I'm used to. The prices were also more that you would expect to pay for pho. However, the dining environment looks more modern and elegant compared to other Vietnamese restaurants.",
"After moving from San Jose, I had to find a place that served pho! I tried several other Vietnamese eateries that were just \"ok.\" Walking into Pho felt like I was walking into a Vietnamese place in San Jose, not overly decorated and lots of choice of tables if you come in early enough. The menu had a fairly good selection of pho and their pictures were quite accurate. I was pleasantly pleased when my bowl of pho arrived at my table. It was very close to the pho that I had grown accustomed to in San Jose. The only real difference was here they served a lot more meat! The one down side to the restaurant is their pork sandwich is not served on the bread that I was accustomed to.",
"A tad bit pricier than other pho joints, but... \nGreat tasting pho broth. Generous portions of meat.\nSpicy chicken w/ lemongrass also a fave of mine.\nRecently tried the grilled beef lemongrass w/ steamed vermicelli noodles and cucumber. Add some fish sauce and sriracha for some kick! Definitely something I'll get again. \nOverall, I've been pleased with most of their dishes. Probably the only dish I'm not too excited about is their chow-fun. It's kind of bland. \nThe place itself is clean, modern, but I wish it were more spacious. With software giants, Microsoft and Intuit, as well as other businesses nearby, it could get kind of hectic during lunch hours. Still, customer service is always good; the owner who's there all the time consistently checks up on the customers. \nI think you could definitely get your pho fix here. (And after, you could walk off the calories at Target!!)",
"This is a pretty good place for pho. Being from San Jose, I am used to a bit of a different and possibly better selection (lots of milk teas at the various pho places, for example) than served in most of Reno. The pho is pretty good--a lot more meat than they serve in a traditional pho restaurant (a little tip: traditional Viet pho does not have a lot of meat in it, they add more meat in for Americanized restaurants because Americans want meat!). They also serve other dishes, including a yellow curry dish which is currently my favorite to order (very, very good curry). \n\nThe only problems I have with it is the fact they use pot stickers/gyoza for wontons. This is not a big deal, but it's a bit of an annoyance if you know what a wonton is and you get pot stickers instead. They also don't use traditional French baguette for their banh mi, but I believe this is partially due to the unavailability of that bread in Reno. It's also worth mentioning that their selections of banh mi is quite small, both in amount of sandwich you get AND the types, if you're used to something like Lee's Sandwiches. $3.50 for their sandwich is much more expensive than the BIG sandwiches you can get from California Vietnamese places. \n\nThe service is fairly good too. \n\nAnother hint: South Meadows Smith's gives Pho coupons on the back of receipts. Buy one dinner, get one free of equal or lesser amount with a purchase of 2 drinks.",
"This place is pretty great. Been there a few times and i've never had to wait for seating, however, lunch time during the week can take a little longer.\n\nGood food, lots of choices. I love their potstickers. The soup bowls are big portions and best of all, my vegan boyfriend has plenty of options to choose from also. He's a fan!",
"My husband and I just enjoyed a spur-of-the-moment supper at Pho, after doing errands at target. We loved pho in L.A., but haven't been able to find anything to compare during our 3 years in Reno. This place seemed clean and attractive, so in we went. The Pho Tai was DELICIOUS! Flavorful broth, noodles done just right, and tasty, tender, thin beef. We'll go back to try more items.",
"To start off, I don't recommend this place unless you are in the area or like me I work in the area.\n\nFood-2, Expensive for Vietnamese food, Portions are horrible for the price, I rather go to Asian Noodles or Golden Flower. Soup is salty, like the broth has been reused from the day before. Like I said, only come here if you're in the Area.\n\nService-1, What service? Has a bunch of girls that don't know anything about the food. You have to point at pictures to get your food right. For having 3 waitress. Service is extremely slow during lunch. \n\nAtmosphere-4, the only thing going for this restaurant is the nice decor and outside seating available.",
"Had a good lunch here yesterday. I love that they have the outside seating available. We had both pho and another Asian dish with thicker noodles. \n\nMake sure that if it says spicy, that you like spicy. My friend ordered the spicy asian dish and almost couldn't eat it.\n\nAlso note there is almost no differnce between the small and large of an item, so save the $$",
"I'll never go again. Which is sad b/c it's so close. Decided not to go downtown to fight with baseball parking issues, so stayed close to home. Mistake. We should have gone to the noodle place by Costco. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls was weird. Like peanut butter and water. Totally tasteless. The pho was so-so. Not very good depth of flavor. The service bad. I felt like we were annoying the waitress. We didn't get what we ordered. Had to ask for more beansprouts/limes/basil for the pho; one plate for 6 orders. Too many other places in town to waste time here."

"Great small place in Tampa. Authentic Japanese cuisine. They serve:\n\nshabu-shabu,ramen,onomiyaki,curry and great sushi.\n\nIt's like being in Tokyo but for half the price!",
"Whenever I'm in Tampa, I try to make a trip out here. \n\nThe sushi has always been good. However, I love their cooked Japanese food. Lot of items that you don't find at average Japanese restaurants (ie Izakaya dishes, Okonomiyaki, and great ramen)",
"This place was recommended to me by a Japanese (born & raised in Japan) friend living in the area. I finally tried it out last week & had to go back within a few days, I loved it so much! I'll update my review as I try more menu items.\n\nThe decor is simple & attractive; I don't recall music playing, but it doesn't feel empty in its quietness. It's rather tranquil. There are a number of booths & a few tables with chairs; the bathroom was pretty barren (not fancy) but clean -- no complaints.\n\n- Soy sauce flavor ramen: Delicious! Not quite up to par with the ramen stands I frequented in Japan, but that's to be expected from a restaurant like this. The noodles are perfectly al dente, the soup has just the right flavor & consistency, & the chashu (pork) topping just melts in your mouth. & for the price ($7? 8?), unbeatable. It's a HUGE serving.\n\n- Kaki fry (fried oysters): Amaaaaazing. This is one of my favorite izakaya dishes, & they make it PERFECTLY. It's not a permanent menu item (right now). At $4.50 for 4 oysters, it's maybe a LITTLE bit on the pricy side of average, but trust me, they're well worth it.\n\n- Katsu-curry (curry with breaded fried pork cutlet): Also delicious! For $8.50 you get a large plate 2/3-filled with rice & 1/2-filled with curry sauce, half-ladled over the sliced cutlet. It's a rather thin piece of tonkatsu, but that's how it's supposed to be for katsu-curry. I can make tastier curry myself at home... but the katsu is harder (& more trouble), & for $8.50 I'm definitely content to let someone else do the cooking on this one for me, especially since they make it so well. If you've never had Japanese curry before, I HIGHLY recommend trying the katsu-curry. It's GREAT!\n\n- Vegetable tempura: My fiance had this on our 2nd trip, & I have to say I was a little bit less than impressed. It was just barely on the soggy side; not as light as good tempura is supposed to be. But I give them major points for putting daikon-oroshi (grated daikon radish) into the dipping sauce automatically; it's not tempura without daikon! & the serving size is quite respectable. However, unless tempura is a staple for you & you just can't live without it, I wouldn't order it here.\n\nEdited 11/13/08:\nWe went again last week with the Japanese friend who recommended I Ai to us, & her fiance, & had a LOT of food. I won't update about all of it, but I will say this:\n- Tuna Yamakake (Tuna sashimi with grated yama-imo) is REALLY REALLY GOOD. If you're into trying new things, definitely give it a try.",
"My new favorite Japanese restaurant. Sorry Kazu, but this place has won my heart.\n\nIt looks pretty ordinary once inside, but the cooler case full of imported drinks promises good things to come.\n\nTheir lunch menu is a great value, with Don and Ramen as well as some bentos. I had the pork ramen, and my girlfriend had the yakisoba. She's kind of a fussy eater sometimes, but she loved it. The ramen was by far the best I've ever had (having never had a good asian part of town, or been to Japan). They also serve a number of other things you won't find at many (if any other) Japanese restaurant in Tampa. Omusubi (Onigiri) filled with salmon or umeboshi, and Okinomiyaki are the most apparent. I dare anyone to find another restaurant in Tampa that serves these things.\n\nIt is definitely worth the trip (I drove over 45 mins to get there, as I do with all Tampa restaurants.). I plan on going back ASAP.",
"Ai Sushi is without doubt the only delicious and authentic Japanese restaurant in Tampa, FL.\n\nI have tried about 75% of the menu items, and everything has been great, so don't worry about what to order, just go with whatever sounds good to you.\n\nToday I had the tofu steak and sapporo roll. The tofu steak came with mushrooms and a mouthwatering sauce, (I wish I could cook this), the rolls were a perfect consistency and flavor. \n\nAi sushi has a wide variety of good food, I have no idea where they get it from but it is always really fresh and tasty.\n\nIf you like authentic Japanese food that is reasonably priced, Ai sushi is a must!",
"Great sushi! We tried 6 different rolls and everything was super fresh and tasted great. The spicy salmon and spider roll were all some of the best rolls I've ever had. It's a nice homey place - no frills with honest food.",
"one yahoo review said they had shabu shabu..\n\nso.. i came.. i saw.. i ordered..and i ate.. \n\nbottom line: sauces with the shabu shabu.. not the best i've tried..but still okay ..and....\n\n\"i'm just so damn glad i found a japanese place that had other food besides just teriyaki and sushi\".\n\nso i'm planning to come back and try all the other non-sushi items.. like all the ramen, udons, hot & cold noodle soups, ..and i think i saw sukiyaki too.. i was hoping for japanese bbq too..but it wasn't listed..i don't think.... (i've had my fair share of sushi..so i'm going for all the other non-sushi items now.. ) .. \n\nwe didn't order any specialty sushi rolls.. so i can't comment on that..\nbut the soup & salad with the meals were both good.. the lunch special is pretty good.. u get a little bit of everything ..fried rice, main dish, appetizer, salad/soup.. all for $7.50\n\nif u really wanna enjoy your food and dining experience.. don't come during peak hours.. like during lunch.. service is gonna go down.. they will forget your to go order.. and you'll have to flag them down or walk up to them to get something.. but it was understandable .. at least for me.. i was a waitress before.. i'm prone to being understandable in these conditions.. and I wasn't in any rush..but my lunch mate was.. so i had to come back for the to go order she forgot to put in.. it was okay though.. to balance it out.. i took a lot of tootsie rolls and mints from the counter.. =) .. couldn't help it.. i love tootsie rolls and those dinner mints.. \n\nand if u must go during lunch hours.. you better go early and save yourself a table... it looks big from the outside..but it's actually really small inside.. 10 tables max. i'm thinking?.. one main chief, one main waitress, and a helper..",
"I Ai I Ai Sushi!\n\nOK so maybe I don't love it, but it is good and I would return. The Sushi - Maguro, Hamachi and Unagi were passable but not \"the best\" but my comparison is to Hawaii so you can take that into account. The portions of fish were generous but not the best quality. The other food, Age Tofu, Gyoza, Tempura, Teriyaki Steak and Sukiyaki was good and the prices were reasonable.\n\nBottom line - surprisingly decent Japanese food at reasonable prices.",
"I was in Tampa on business and found this spot on Chowhound. This sushi spot is very good! Its not fancy, but the sushi is fresh, tasty, and affordable. It looks like a husband and wife team owns the business. He cuts the sushi and she is the wait staff. I was in town for 7 nights and I ate at this spot three of those nights. The service is friendly and food is delivered to you in a timely fashion. The Japanese food is also good as one night I had the udon noodle soup and found it to be very good. I AI Sushi serves escolar... I love when a sushi bar carries this fish... yum! I loved this spot and I hope you will too. Enjoy!",
"Do you know what Izakaya is? Some people call it the Japanese equivalent of dim sum, I call it small plates of bar food. At I Ai, it is more of a family atmosphere than a bar atmosphere, but the small plates are where its at. Not as good a those yakatori houses at St. Marks (NYC), but it cures the cravings.\n\nIt was a little difficult to find, located in an office complex called Fountain Oaks off of Waters Ave. near the intersection of Dale Mabry, next to an Albertsons. We arrived here as soon as they opened, and the was only one other table there, so we were able to get fast service. The entire dining area could hold probably 40-50 people if maxed out. Decorations are quaint and the atmosphere is quite comfortable and family oriented. The menu posted here on Yelp is just their to-go menu, their dine-in menu is way more extensive. Also, make sure to check the overhead dry-erase boards when you enter for Chef recommendations, specials, and in stock-items that may not be on the menu as well. We were not charged for free refills on pots of delicious hot green tea.\n\nTheir sushi is decent and to the point. So don't come here expecting anything creative or inexpensive because it is exactly the opposite at I Ai in the case of sushi only. The said that their most popular roll is the Special Mexican Roll ($9.00), so I gave it a try. It was very solid, with the perfect rice to filling ratio and decent flavor. However, it wasn't nearly as exciting as their kitchen items, and not much different than sushi I could find closer to home for the same quality and price. \n\nIn my personal opinion, I will not order sushi here again, because their cooked kitchen items are so delicious and inexpensive- it is like nothing else you will find in the Tampa area. Don't get me wrong, the sushi is solid, but there is so much other food there that I prefer.\n\nIf you are looking for homemade Japanese food, then this is your place. Nothing is too fancy. It is great to taste and experience foods that Japanese people would like to enjoy on an everyday basis, not just special occasion. My husband referred to some items as \"diner food.\" The Okonomiyaki ($8.00) is a Japanese pancake similar to Korean Pajeon. It is a vegetable pancake that contains pork and covered in a sweet brown sauce and mayo, then a sprinkle of dancing bonito shavings. The serving is very large, enough for an entire meal with maybe a side of soup or salad. This pancake only comes in one house flavor, usually shops with specialize in this dish and serve up many custom and specialty flavors, but I Ai just has one for you to try. It is delicious and crispy, while being creamy, tangy, and smokey at the same time. \n\nThe Age Tofu ($4.00) is served up my favorite way, where the cubes of fried tofu are floating in dashi broth with shaved radish on top. So you eat it with a spoon to get a bite of tofu and some delicious broth at the same time. The Sunomono ($4.00) was bright and refreshing with cucumber, crab stick, and a sweet shrimp on top- all covered in a sour citrus dressing. I always have to order the Omusubi (Onigiri) if it is offered, especially when they are only $2.00 each for your choice of mouth-watering bonito, plum, or salmon fillings. They are the side of a small hamburger and just as filling, so watch out. The Soy Sauce Ramen ($7.00) was a large serving and the noodles were perfectly chewy with flavorful broth. \n\nI was a little confused from the other photos posted here of small vegetable side dishes, which made me assume that I Ai served up complimentary side dishes with an entrée. That is not the case. Most of the side dishes (similar to Korean banchan, but not complimentary) range from $2.00-$4.00 per serving. We tried the Yama Sengiui ($4.00) which was julienne strips of slimy mountain potato-like root. Sally recommends trying it graded with tuna for the same price next time, and we will.\n\nThe Shabu-Shabu is what I came for. While they had many stone pot soups- the cook at your table experience of Shabu-Shabu was $28.00, and I just was not ready to pay that much per person yet on my first try.\n\nI can definitely see I Ai having many regulars because of their cheap menu, delicious food, cute atmosphere, and fast service. We will definitely return to try more items, since we probably just scratched the surface here today. As I said before; it is impossible to find everyday Japanese food like this in the Tampa area. Maybe in New York City, but not here, so I feel very lucky to have found I Ai. I was very impressed when dining here, and also had a fun time. Compared to other establishments in Tampa- 5 stars.\n\nTons of food $44.41 before tip"
